Chapter 239: Plotting the Sea God

Some people will ask, Zhang Baogao, what kind of person, how can he be so supported by others, respected as an adult, and some people call him an envoy, and even have the title of sea god.

At the age of seventeen, Zhang Baogao and his friend Zheng Nian crossed the sea to Chishanpu (now Rongcheng Shidao), and then traveled south to Yangzhou. coincided with the Zhenhai Festival to make Li Qi rebel according to Runzhou, and the imperial court expanded to suppress the rebellion, and Zhang Baogao and Zheng Nian were recruited into the Wuning Army in Xuzhou. It belongs to Zhang Jianfeng.

The two are good at martial arts, and it is said that they are brave and brave Wuning. Even Du Mu wrote a biography for the two in his Fan Chuan anthology, "Zhang Baogao and Zheng Nian, who are from Silla, came to Xuzhou from their country and are junior generals in the army. Bao Gao is Chinese New Year's Eve, ten years younger, and his brother calls Bao Gao. He is good at fighting, riding and wielding guns, and his country has no rival with Xuzhou. Year after year, there is no sea to walk on its land, fifty miles is not choked, the horn is brave and healthy, and Bao Gao is almost less than the year. Bao Gao with teeth, years with art, often uneven. ”

Zheng Nian called Zhang Baogao his brother, but when it came to martial arts, Zheng Nian was much stronger, and his swimming skills were also stronger than Zhang Baogao. Sometimes Zhang Baogao will rely on his brother's identity to discipline Zheng Nian, and Zheng Nian is naturally unconvinced. There are occasional disagreements between the two.

In the Tang army, the two participated in several battles, including the rebellion of Li Qi in Zhenjiang, Wu Yuanji in Huaixi Town, and Li Shidao in Ziqing Town. In the fourteenth year of Yuanhe, Zhang Baogao was promoted to the junior general of the Wuning Army.

After that, the fate of the two took a turn for the worse. Five years later, in the fourth year of Changqing, Zhang Baogao resigned and returned to China. Because of the Ziqing Festival, Li Shidao is made.

Li Shidao, he is the grandson of Li Zhengji, a Goguryeo native. After Li Zheng entered the Tang Dynasty, he made meritorious contributions to pacifying the Anshi Rebellion, and was appointed as an envoy to the Ziqing Festival. When it was passed on to Li Shidao, the Li family had already dominated the Shandong Peninsula after three generations of development. Then he relied on the geographical advantage, plus his family had a grudge against Silla.

In the coastal area of Silla, Lee Shi-do carried out piracy activities on a large scale. They often looted people and sold them into slavery in the Tang Dynasty. This phenomenon made Zhang Baogao angry, so he resolutely resigned from the post of Wuning military general and returned to China in Changqing for four years.

This made Jang Baogao a national hero of the Silla people at that time and even the stick people a thousand years later. After Jang Bo-gao returned to China, he met with the then King of Silla Heungdeok, and with the permission of King Heungdeok, he set up a base camp in Cheonghae Town and began to crusade against pirates. In addition, because of the rebellion, Li Shidao was quelled earlier, so since then, "the Silla people who have no beard on the sea", Jang Baogao has become famous in Silla.

After that, Zhang Baogao began to operate shipping, for the reason mentioned earlier, many materials in Silla need to rely on Datang imports, and there are many things that can be sold at a good price in Datang.

After a long period of hard work, Zhang Baogao has established a maritime commercial trade network from Quanzhou in the south to Kyushu, Japan in the north. Based in Cheonghae Town, he first traded from Chisan to Silla, and because of its proximity to Silla, it was also the place where the Silla people were the most successful, and many Silla people came here first before going to other places. It's like Zhang Baogao at the beginning.

After that, he successively established a series of bases in Dengzhou, Laizhou, Sizhou, Chuzhou, Yangzhou, Mingzhou, Quanzhou, and Kyushu, Japan, and each base had a Silla Fang to serve this base.

It is because of this that Silla people were able to enter the Tang Dynasty in large numbers, study, work, and the pirates in this area were bulldozed before, and Zhang Baogao was worshiped as the god of the sea by the Silla people, and did not call him by his name.

'This Bao Gao is so powerful. Li Chen was a little dumbfounded, and Fu Bo nodded on the other side. Li Chen wanted to hit someone a little, but Ah Yong was glaring at him on the other side. Li Chen could only summon Wang Tian and tell him to strengthen his vigilance.

How come it is that in the blink of an eye, a few days of good days have passed, the sauna opens, and things are going well. After three days of free entertainment, the people of Yangzhou all know that a private bathhouse has been opened, the price is favorable, and the most important thing is that the bathing method is very novel, attracting a large number of wealthy businessmen, officials, and ordinary people to try.

As a result, within a few days of the good days, Fu Bo came to tell him that Zhang Baogao was back. Li Chen is a little vigilant, I seem to have heard of this guy's name. In other words, this guy seems to be a big shot. Then, Fu Bo introduced Zhang Baogao's origin, and Li Chen was dumbfounded.

And that's not all. Zhang Baogao may now be about to turn over in one fell swoop. The country of Silla still retains the aristocratic system, and the details are not clear, anyway, Zhang Baogao is likely to become the father-in-law of the current Silla Saint King, that is, the prince of Silla. This matter is another meritorious achievement of Zhang Baogao.

At this time, Silla was obtained, and the state implemented the bone quality system, which was divided into five grades: holy bones, true bones, six-rank heads, five-grade heads, and four-grade heads, and the grades remained hereditary.

The common people don't even have sex, and they can't be officials. However, Jang Bo-gao may become the first common people in the history of Silla to turn over and sing as a model and marry their daughter to the king of Silla.

Just a few years ago, there was a rebellion in Silla, and a great official named Kim Myeong-deok killed the then King of Deok-kang and ascended to the throne. The son of King Xikang, Jin Youzheng received Zhang Baogao's help. Zhang Baogao sent his friend, Zheng Nian, to raise 5,000 troops to defeat Jin Ming's help, and Jin Youzheng successfully ascended the throne.

But this guy is also a blessed, and he doesn't have that life to enjoy when he becomes a king, and he dies in half a year. His son ascended the throne.

As you can imagine, the new king's ass must be unstable. There was a rebellion, and it was not easy to regain the throne, but his son also hung up soon, and he was not sure that people with a heart would be ready to move again. Therefore, this king of Silla made the right choice to accept Jang Bogo's daughter as his queen.

"Such a big man won't come to the picture to get a treasure that needs nothing." Li Chen doubted, "There is no such thing as a thing at all." Such a capable person should not believe in such a thing. ’

It's hard to say. Rumors spread too much, saying that there were many treasures in the treasure that were hard to find. Fu Bo wanted to dispel Li Chen's ostrich mentality, "You can't believe how far a father will do for his daughter." ’

It is rumored that Silla had different attitudes towards the marriage. Of course, the people at the bottom are happy to see it, but the nobles are quite disgusted. On the one hand, he was against the marriage. It's hard to say whether Zhang Baogao will want to put up these treasures to increase his value in order to block the mouths of those nobles.

Hearing this, Li Chen sneered. I had a vague idea in my heart, if this strategy succeeded, it would definitely make Zhang Baogao doomed. Although Zhang Baogao is quite great, for the Silla people, it is equivalent to Zheng He in the Ming Dynasty, and even in terms of contribution alone, it may still be above Zheng He.

For such a figure, he has great respect. It's just that whoever made you a Silla person, if it was a Tang Dynasty person, Li Chen might try to protect him. Silla people, hum... I had to ask you to die. (To be continued.) )
