With the killing order finally brought huge losses to the Liao State, the monarchs and ministers of the Liao State faced this situation. For the first time, I also understood that the power of the martial arts people in the Central Plains was finally revealed at this moment.

These martial arts people who were closely monitored by the Great Song Dynasty in the past seemed to ignore the world, but in fact, they were more cold-blooded and better at killing. Some of the Central Plains martial arts people who entered the Great Liao originally only wanted to assassinate those nobles of the Great Liao.

As a result, I saw the treatment of the Han people here. Everyone felt psychologically uncomfortable, so that it gradually developed to the point that these Jianghu people began to act towards ordinary Liao people.

Some small tribes of Liao living on the border even began to see that entire tribes were killed overnight. These small tribes, although their populations are small, are also the foundation of the Great Liao.

Gradually, seeing that the situation would continue to be chaotic, Yelu Hongji had to start giving orders. Closed the cities and adopted stricter control measures to prevent this from happening, even if the border began to be patrolled.

Da Liao began to make some moves, and Da Song naturally would not be idle. The cavalry of the Great Song Dynasty, which was based on the cavalry, also began to be under the orders of Zhang Tingguang. Constantly crossing the border between the two countries, they began to encircle and suppress these small groups of cavalry of the Great Liao.

As a result, the war, which I thought would not start until the beginning of spring, began to start in this kind of ice and snow. Upon learning of this news, Zhao Xiaoxi also began to send a batch of clothes used to keep out the cold to the cavalry camp one after another.

This kind of cotton clothing, which has just been mass-produced this year, is made by Zhao Xiaoxi using cotton. Nowadays, almost all the wealthy families in Ryukyu and Qiongzhou have replaced them with this kind of soft but warm quilt.

As for how to remove the cotton seeds from cotton, Zhao Xiaoxi opened a cotton clothing factory separately, and let some female workers who were sold here work and make them. Outsiders don't know at all, and for the time being, Zhao Xiaoxi has no intention of selling it to the outside world.

Because it is the cotton produced in the first year. The quantity itself is not too much. The current price of a quilt has also made some ordinary people intimidated. And this batch of cotton clothes sent to the border also moved the cavalry soldiers very much.

With the protection of this light cotton clothing, the cavalry soldiers also felt that they could stay in the field longer. Even if they sometimes spend the night in the wild, they don't have to worry about freezing to death in the middle of the night.

And the cavalry soldiers who know the current price of this cotton clothing. sighed even more at the old commander's wealth. I'd rather leave these cotton clothes out for sale, and buy one for each of them first.

Although it was only a change in clothing, it made the cavalry of the Song army meet the cavalry of the Liao army in the field. Because of the lightness of the clothes, the moves are more flexible. This can undoubtedly improve the survival rate of cavalry in battle.

Compared with the Liao soldiers who were tightly wrapped, the Song army's simpler-looking clothing also made the Liao cavalry feel it. Are these cavalrymen of the Song Dynasty more resistant to frost than them? In fact, all of this is the function of cotton clothes to keep warm.

The great wheel of war is in motion. Both Da Liao and Da Song knew that this was a protracted war. The current local war on the border can only be described as the military training of the two countries. The real big war will not happen until both countries are ready.

Zhao Xiaoxi, who also knew this truth, had been busy throughout the winter, transferring troops to the Liaodong Peninsula. Next year, Zhao Xu will send troops to Daliao, and he will also lead the Qiongzhou army to respond from the side. Even Zhao Xu didn't plan to use him at all.

When Cho Hyo-seok was also moved by Cho Xu, he began to rearrange next year's things. Duan Zhengchun who came from Dali. During this time, it seems that my grandparents are addicted, and I didn't think about whether they wanted to go home or not.

However, seeing Mu Wanqing accompanied by her father and mother, she seemed very happy. Zhao Xiaoxi naturally would not do anything to send the father-in-law and mother-in-law away. Anyway. During this time, he began to be busy with political affairs again.

During this time, as the northwest border began to become chaotic, Cho Hyo-seok also used the Dengju base. Keep shifting, the people who fled from Da Liao to the side of the Great Song Dynasty. Even if the people of the northwest want to leave. He also had people pick it up.

As the influence of New South Castle gradually expanded, Cho Hyo-seok's development in the Ryukyus also became rapid. Even if the Plains City, which was just completed last year, is now the second big city with a population of more than 100,000 under the New South City.

In addition, Cho Hyo-seok, who has been sending personnel to search for Ryukyu Island, has not stopped. I also began to come into contact with some of the indigenous people who originally lived in the Ryukyus. For these natives, Zhao Xiaoxi did not kill them all.

If they were willing to submit to the natives under his rule, Zhao Xiaoxi would send people to teach them Chinese and teach them to come into contact with immigrants. Most of the indigenous tribes who disobeyed the rules ended up being sold as slaves.

In short, during the year that Cho Hyo-seok was in charge of Qiongzhou, according to Cho Hyo-seok's instructions. Nowadays, in the northern and central parts of the island, two new cities have been opened to house immigrants.

At present, there are four new towns on Ryukyu Island, and except for the two new towns that were built this year, the population has not yet reached 100,000. Both New South City and Plains City have populations of more than 100,000.

With the arrival of so many immigrants, the pace of development of the Ryukyus naturally accelerated a lot. At least this year's grain production in the Ryukyus has exceeded last year's by several times. With these immigrant villages, Zhao Xiaoxi does not worry about food at all.

In addition, the Li Dynasty, which was annexed this year, is also a good place to grow grain. This means that in a short period of time, Zhao Xiaoxi does not have to worry about food at all.

Coupled with the gold-absorbing city of New South City, Zhao Xiaoxi brings a steady stream of wealth every day. Zhao Xiaoxi can really be said to have money, food and soldiers in his hands, so naturally he doesn't have to act like before.

Even if it's winter, the shipyards in Penghu and Xinnancheng are working overtime to build warships and cargo ships. The successive launch of these big ships has made the naval strength of Zhao Xiaoxi's subordinates naturally the same as in January.

In order to facilitate the four cities that are temporarily not accessible by land, Zhao Xiaoxi also opens several boat passages in the four cities every day. The land route from New South City to Plains City is now under intense construction.

Those prisoners of war who had been captured from the Li Dynasty were now in full swing, opening mountains and splitting rocks on Ryukyu Island. With these free laborers, Zhao Xiaoxi believes that tomorrow the land routes between the two cities will be opened, and many new villages and towns will be born.

The first batch of new immigrants to settle in has tasted the benefits of the new business. Often, if there is a good project announced in the City Lord's Mansion, they will join as soon as possible. Follow in the footsteps of New South City and pursue a better life.

And the war that will start in the northwest has also led to a new wave of immigration. More and more people in both countries are choosing to leave at this time. I hope to come overseas to ask for a way out, and the reason is that the immigrants who came early are now living very well.

It was these old immigrants who asked the Navy to help bring letters to inform their relatives and hometown people of how peaceful life was on Ryukyu Island. These people, who are worried about the imminent war, will choose to drag their families and leave.

Although the removal of such a village will lead to a population gap in some places. But Zhao Xiaoxi feels that when the war between the two countries subsides, I believe that there will still be some immigrants who will return to their hometowns one after another to survive.

No matter how poor it is, with the current dense population of the Great Song Dynasty, given a few years, the population will presumably increase several times rapidly. As long as the population increases, the need for land will also prompt some people to choose to relocate.

Compared with the Great Song Dynasty and the Great Liao who began to be busy with the Great War, Zhao Xiaoxi's recent thoughts have been spent on resettlement and transfer of the people. The secret camps set up in the Liao State also began to accept some refugees because of the killing of Hu Ling.

As soon as the number of refugees increased, they would contact the navy, which was responsible for relocating the people, to transfer the people in the Liao country. They have successively moved to live on Ryukyu or Qiongzhou Island, so that these people can truly enjoy a life without war.

The continuous influx of these immigrants has made the civil and military officers and soldiers of the palace who have been busy for a year feel even more busy. But they all know that being busy now will bring them countless benefits next year.

Only when the population continues to increase can their positions continue to rise. And the scholars who were recruited were also very excited to learn that someone had been appointed as officials at the county order level one after another.

Even if it is a small county order, it is an opportunity for these scholars who have no hope of taking the imperial examination. Under this temptation, more and more scholars and literati from the interior began to enter the Ryukyus in the name of teaching.

As Zhao Xiaoxi once again entered the sight of some families in the Great Song Dynasty, overseas families did not become places where they began to lay out. In addition, those maritime merchants gathered a large amount of wealth in a year, which also made many families blush.

For these families, profit comes first. Even before they thought that overseas was a wild place. But with the return of people from Qiongzhou to Xinnancheng, he was stunned and shocked by the news.

These people from the family also began to send direct children and the like to enter Zhao Xiaoxi's circle one step ahead of others. As for whether they can enter Zhao Xiaoxi's sight, it also depends on whether their children can be reused.

But no matter what, for these family heads. As long as these children can bring benefits to the family, it is also a very good thing. As a result, many coastal cities have become lively.

Business is a very profitable thing in itself. With the development and growth of Zhao Xiaoxi's new southern city, the coastal cities of the Great Song Dynasty have also received a lot of benefits. Some small towns that used to be remote have also begun to set up docks for large ships to moor.

With a dock, there will be merchant ships docking. When these merchant ships docked, they would stop in these small towns. Around the beginning of maritime trade flourished, more and more coastal people enjoyed the changes brought about by their lives.

In the past, the seafood they sold cheaply, with the arrival of merchant ships, there was naturally a purchase by merchants. The more precious seafood was also sold back to the merchant ships one after another, and the more distant cities were sold at high prices.

In short, there are more and more interest groups around Zhao Xiaoxi. If they want to continue to reap the benefits, they must support Cho Hyo-seok's cause. This virtuous circle has made Zhao Xiaoxi's prestige in the Great Song Dynasty higher and higher! (To be continued......)
