The Fang brothers slept in the small living room for a long time, and were woken up by Fang Guozhen's eldest son, Taibo Fang Guan, and Fang Guan connected the two to the Luzhou Earl's mansion. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

After letting go of Fang Guanyiying's explanation, Fang Guozhen made up for the earth-shaking changes in Middle-earth, and the etiquette and culture of Middle-earth, only to know that his Taizhou three-way land no longer existed, and it was all merged into Hao Ren's territory.

Fang Guozhen came from a humble background, and he didn't have the lofty ambition to be the king of the land, let alone the noble temperament of driving out the Tartars.

Now, all the family members have settled in Luzhou, and Hao Ren has not affected the status of the Fang family in the Great Song Dynasty because of his disappearance.

Fang Guozhen pinched his fingers and counted "duke, marquis, uncle, son, male", the earl has been included in the middle of the nobles, this is what Fang Guozhen never expected, where do you dare to hate Hao Ren in your heart? Even if he is unwilling, he has already been persuaded by Fang Guan, who has been pampered for a long time.

I can only blame myself for my bad luck and a hurricane, of course, this is not caused by Hao Ren, nor is it what Hao Ren wants to see.

"Your Majesty!" Fang Guozhen changed into a clean suit, and met Hao Ren under the recommendation of Fang Guan, he hugged his fists and said: "The minister went overseas from the dragon back then, and did not establish meritorious service for His Majesty, the minister deeply regrets, now the minister has a brother Guozhang and other deployments and is still in exile, the minister has nothing else to ask for, only ask Your Majesty to give the minister a few ships, Rong Chen takes back the deployment, the minister is willing to cut his post for the people, and always rule the people for His Majesty, and never touch the sword and gun again!" ”

Hao Ren had already obtained the seeds of corn and potatoes, and he thought that with the current seafaring technology, the conquest of the barren Americas would not make much sense.

The population of the Han land has been sharply reduced due to years of war and the Mongol and Yuan massacres, even if the population has doubled several times, there is still enough arable land to ensure food supply, and there is no need to try to conquer the Americas for the little gold of the Indians.

What's more, Middle-earth has not yet been pacified, and Hao Ren has a lot of things that he has not finished cooking, so he really has no time to look east for the time being.

The power of Mengyuan in the north and south is huge, and although it is in the midst of internal strife, it can stop the civil strife at any time and make a comeback, which is enough to shake the royal paradise established by Hao Ren.

Even if Hao Ren was lucky, the north and south pacified Meng Yuan, and the remnant Yuan forces that went deep into the hinterland of Meng Yuan were enough for Hao Ren to cook for a few years. There are also the Kipchak Khanate and Goryeo that helped Meng Yuan brutally suppress the Red Turban Army, and the saber of revenge must be cut at them.

From the perspective of Hao Ren's later generations, a potential big enemy is rising in the land of the queen of Wokotai, and the cripple Timur is not dying early, and he will inevitably have a battle with the Ming Dynasty, no matter whether he can die early in this era, there is always no harm in preparing early.

What bothered Hao Ren the most was that the main owner, Zhu Chongba, had disappeared for several years, and the news of his death had not come, and he didn't know that he was accumulating strength there. If this period of history returns to the right track, I am afraid that my hard work will be to make wedding dresses for others, and I will die and the country will be destroyed, and my wife will be separated.

Taking 10,000 steps back, even if Fang Guozhen goes to sea again, and the people who stayed in the Americas are brought back, who can guarantee that this is not a threat to himself?

"Fang Dashuai has fought hard for many years, went to the sea to the east, and died nine times, now that he has returned to Middle-earth, he will live a good life for a few days, with the prestige of Fang Dashuai, it should be more than enough to be a marquis!" Hao Ren wanted to give Fang Guozhen an official title, and temporarily put aside burning money to go to the Americas, as for whether to go to the Americas again in the future, it can only depend on the war situation and economic development in Middle-earth.

"Your Majesty!" Fang Guozhen persuaded hard: "The minister's requirements are not high, ten sea ships are enough, as for the personnel, as long as Your Majesty allocates thousands of death row prisoners to the minister, the minister is confident that he can train them into qualified sailors, and the minister is willing to contribute all the gold to the court, as the minister's gratitude to the court!" ”

Hao Ren was a little moved, the gold and jewelry that Fang Guozhen brought back was enough for his expenses to go to sea, but this was not the reason why Hao Ren was tempted, the Han people living abroad were the people of their own territory after all, and it was obviously not appropriate to let them fend for themselves.

And ten sea ships are almost insignificant for the Great Song Dynasty, even if the hundred sea ships allocated to Fang Guozhen will not hurt the Great Song Dynasty, you must know that the number of sea ships built in the port of Nagasaki for consecutive years is amazing.

And many war criminals and criminals who have been in the shackles and cultivated the famine, their sins can no longer be washed away by labor, to the point that not killing is not enough to anger the people, and staying in Middle-earth is a scourge.

For example, the criminals and conspirators who attempted to assassinate Sheng Wenyu a few days ago refused to believe in the newly revised doctrine, refused to believe that the era of the Demon Sect was outdated, and refused to believe that Hao Ren was the embodiment of light, and even wanted to blindly encourage the people to rebel against Hao Ren, which Hao Ren could not tolerate.

Hao Ren had lost confidence in the transformation of these stubborn people, and wanted to open a butcher's knife at them, just like Zhu Chongba when he was the emperor, but he and Zhu Chongba's thick black methods were different, and he was afraid that such a killing would cause a backlash from the famous cultists who had been improved, and then shake his own position.

Killing is always the simplest and most brutal way to solve the problem, but it is not the best way to solve the problem, which Hao Ren has always firmly believed.

If these thousands of stubborn people are handed over to Fang Guozhen, Fang Guozhen is a person who does not believe in ghosts and gods, with Fang Guozhen's hot hands, he may be able to promote their transformation, if these people die at sea, Hao Ren will not feel sorry, even if they fall into the Americas, maybe it can play a role in civilizing the local natives.

Hao Ren felt that Fang Guozhen's going to sea could solve the thorny problems in his hands, so he formed a tacit understanding with Fang Guozhen, transferred thirteen sea ships, sent 4,000 flail warriors who failed to transform the north, and trained Fang Guoying in Chongming Prefecture.

Flails are not sailors, and it takes at least several months of training to master the art of sailing, and the mere obedience to orders may take the right amount of time.

Fang Guozhen was named the Marquis of Haidong, and followed Yu Tonghai to form a navy on the left side of the southern expedition, and accepted the test of Hao Ren's loyalty and ability.

On the third day of the third month of the fourth year of Zhongxing in the Great Song Dynasty, Hao Ren was in charge of the government affairs of the court, leaving the prince Lusheng to supervise the country, the cabinet Shi Nai'an, Mu Youcai, and Liu Bowen stayed in the court to assist the government, and the privy left envoy Zhang Poyu sat in Luzhou, and the queen Yang Zhiyu led the queen/palace.

Hao Ren gave the same order to the top leaders of each pass: "Anyone I know who has committed a capital crime can only be imprisoned and dealt with when I come back, and anyone I don't know, you can dispose of it yourself as appropriate." ”

The Great Song Dynasty sent all the soldiers and horses that were previously planned, and the three-way army marched south, before Hao Ren set off, the armies of all roads had already started, Hao Ren only took the Chinese army to the guards, the cabinet, the imperial history, and the civil and military forces with the expedition to converge with the middle route army, and Luzhou should stay behind, the concubine, the prince, and the adopted son, all of them were sent to Chaohu Lake.
