Since the pacification of Du Tao's rebellion, Tao Kan was squeezed out by Wang Dun to serve in Guangzhou, and Tao Kan was not depressed after arriving in Guangzhou.

During the two Jin Dynasty, the ruling order of the gate lord clan was disrupted. Some politically repressed families are trying to take advantage of this opportunity to establish political power. However, due to the fact that the power of the gate lord clan is still strong, and the strength of the Hanmen itself is insufficient, it is difficult to escape the doom of failure.

If a scholar from a poor family wants to seek a political way out, he can only rely on a certain clan power. Even so, they are still in a position of being driven and manipulated. Tao Kan's experience is a reflection of the current political situation of the Hanmen.

In history, Tao Kan, as a generation of famous generals, made great achievements in stabilizing the turbulent political situation in the early years of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

He was born in poverty, and he was an ethnic minority in the south of the Yangtze River, and in the changes in the last years of the Western Jin Dynasty, he broke through the obstacles set up by the door valve politics for the poor to enter the government, and finally became the hot Jingzhou assassin in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and he had quite a good reputation.

Tao Kan is a legendary figure, and in historical books such as "Book of Jin" and "Shishuo Xinyu", there are many anecdotes about him. In addition, he is a controversial figure, with praisers, detractors, and defenders of his claims.

On this day, Tao Kan was handling official business in the house, and suddenly heard that a guest came from Liaodong, and he was quite surprised. Tao Kan has great ambitions, never forgets to care about the situation in the world, and is no stranger to Liaodong, which is in full swing, but he can't understand why Liaodong, who has always been active in the north, came to remote Guangzhou.

For Wei Shuo, the general of Zhenbei, who was also from a poor family, Tao Kan was more than envious but did not dare to follow suit. Compared with Wei Shuo, his abilities and means are not much worse, but he lacks ambition, so Tao Kan only wants to be Zhuge Liang, while Wei Shuo is bent on emulating Wei Wu Cao Cao.

"Let him in, I'll talk to him personally." Tao Kan thought about it for a while, and finally decided to meet the visitor.

When Liaodong gradually gained a foothold in Yizhou, it then set its sights on Zhuya Island, one of the two major bases for the future attack on Nanyang. It's just that Zhu Ya is different from Yizhou, which is already a foreign land, it is a subordinate county of Jiaozhou, if it is not allowed by the Assassin Shifu, Liaodong will only arouse Jiang Zuo's suspicion.

Since Tao Kan arrived in Guangzhou last year, he quickly quelled the rebellion of Wang Ji and the rest of Du Tao, and before the arrival of the new assassin, he temporarily took charge of the affairs of Jiaozhou and Guangzhou as the governor of Guangzhou. In order to lease Zhu Ya, the people of Liaodong had to come to visit the real talker - Guangzhou Thorn Shi Taokan.

In order to get through the Guangzhou Assassin Mansion, Wei Shuo specially sent Wen Qiao, the sacrificial wine of the right military division, over. Wen Qiao first inspected the Yizhou base, and then took a boat to Panyu, the residence of the Guangzhou Thorn Mansion, to visit the Guangzhou Thorn Shi Tao Kan.

After Wen Qiao entered the Assassin's Mansion, he respectfully saluted Tao Kan and said: "The right army of the Zhenbei General's Mansion is sacrificing wine, Wen Qiao pays a visit to Tao Envoy!" ”

Tao Kan looked Wen Qiao up and down, and saw that his bearing was extraordinary, and he faintly looked like a beautiful son, and suddenly understood that this was another son of a family.

"Jun Wen is not in Nafu, Liaodong, how can he have time to run to remote Guangzhou?"

"Tao Envoy, I am going south to Guangzhou on the order of General Zhenbei this time, mainly to discuss one thing with you."

Tao Kan's heart moved when he heard this, and said secretly: "I don't know what it is, it is worth sending General Zhenbei to send his henchman Wen Qiao to Guangzhou Prefecture, don't do anything rebellious, otherwise the old man really doesn't know what to do!" ”

"I don't know what's going on?"

"It's not a big deal, I guess Tao Yuanjun has also heard of it. In recent years, there have been merchants in Liaodong who have gone to Nanyang to do business, but because Liaodong is too far away from Nanyang, there is no port in the middle that can supply ships to dock and replenish materials. ”

"General Zhenbei was worried that the Liaodong cargo ships would be helpless when they encountered difficulties at sea, so he sent him to discuss with Tao Envoy Jun to see if he could rent a port in Jiaozhou, so as to serve as a transit point for Liaodong merchants to and from Nanyang."

"Well, no...... I don't know where Liaodong wants to rent as a port? Even if I agree to lease the ports in Hepu and Rinan counties to Liaodong, I don't think Wen Junshi will accept it, right? ”

Tao Kan feared that Liaodong would offer to lease the ports of Jianghepu and Rinan, which were the most important foreign trade ports in the south before the destruction of Eastern Wu. At present, with the opening of ports in Guangzhou, the status of ports such as Xuwen has declined, but it is still one of the important ports in the south.

If Tao Kan dared to lease Xu Wengang to Liaodong, he would definitely be reprimanded by King Langya, which was by no means what he wanted to see.

However, Wen Qiao's next words greatly surprised Tao Kan's expectations.

"Tao Envoy Jun has filtered, Liaodong will never make it difficult for Lord Thorn Shi. A prosperous port like Xu Wen is not leased in Liaodong! ”

"Really?" Tao Kan's face was overjoyed, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.

"Nature is true!" Wen Qiao nodded affirmatively.

"Shhh Can...... But if it weren't for ports such as Xu Wen, where could Liaodong lease it? ”

Tao Kan has been in Guangzhou for many years, and he doesn't dare to say that he knows the local area well, and he is also familiar with geography. He really didn't know where else to use Jiaozhou as a port besides Xu Wen.

"Zhuya Island! Liaodong intends to lease Zhu Ya! ”

"Zhu Ya? Is that the island where the natives are rampant? ”

Hearing this, Tao Kan was dumbfounded, he never thought that after abandoning the ports of Rinan and Hepu counties, Liaodong would choose a barren land. Speaking of which, Hainan Island has always been a wild place in the eyes of ancient people, and it is one of the four major places of exile in ancient times. Not to mention that Tao Kan looked down on his land during the Wei and Jin dynasties, but in the Tang and Song dynasties, Zhu Ya was still a wild place in the eyes of scholars.

"That's right, it's Zhuya Island, renting such a barbarian land shouldn't bring any trouble to Lord Thorn Shi, right?"

Listening to Wen Qiao's slightly mocking words, Tao Kan's face did not show a trace of fluctuation, he knew that his caution slightly made the other party a little unhappy. But where did Wen Qiao know his hardships, as a poor background, it was not easy for Tao Kan to get to where he is today, he didn't want to offend King Langya because of his carelessness, resulting in a ruined future.

As a famous feudal town in Jiangzuo, Tao Kan knows a lot about the complex relationship between Wang Dun, King Langya, and Wei Shuo, and he depends on King Langya to exist, and he doesn't want to have too much entanglement with Liaodong, in case he provokes the suspicion of King Langya, the gains outweigh the losses.

In addition, although he knew that this matter was not in accordance with the rules, he still agreed to Liaodong to lease Zhu Ya, because he didn't want to offend the powerful general Zhenbei. Just in order to prevent the outside world from grasping his handle, Tao Kan strengthened the garrison around Xu Wen to prevent the Liaodong army on Zhuya Island on the opposite bank from going north.

Soon Wen Qiao reached a lease agreement with Tao Kan, and Liaodong paid a lease fee of 30,000 yuan per year to Jiaozhou Thorn Shifu for leasing the northern area of Zhuya.

……

Wei Shuo was very happy to learn that he had successfully leased Zhu Ya, and he immediately ordered the Liaodong Naval Division to form an expeditionary fleet to enter Zhu Ya and build the port of Sanya in the south of Zhu Ya. The whole fleet took the 'Liaodong' as the flagship and was escorted by 30 medium-sized sand boats, and the whole fleet sailed in a wheel-like formation on the sea surface.

Great Heavenly Venerable bless! Along the way, the fleet appeared in the waters near Zhu Ya without danger, and a few days later, when the sun rose and shone on the deck. In the distance, a large verdant island has emerged on the surface of the sea - it is Zhuya Island.

On the deck of the Liaodong, the lookout post reported: "Zhuya Island is not far ahead. ”

Hearing this, Wang Wei, the commander of the Laoshan Water Division, hurriedly supported his waist with one hand and held a telescope in the other, looking at Jeju Island exposed on the sea in the distance. I couldn't help but be excited.

"Ladies and gentlemen. Achievements are only in the present day! Herald! Each ship shall abide by its own duties, and shall not go out without authorization, and those who violate the order will be killed! ”

"No!" Standing behind him, the army hurriedly passed the order to the flag officer, and through the other side passed it on to other ships.

The sea is calm and calm, and the surrounding sea is thousands of blue waves. The large verdant island is looming above the ******, and as far as the eye can see, there is hardly a single boat in sight, only a few fishing boats. Seeing such a large fleet coming, they took refuge.

Wang Wei took a deep breath of the fresh sea breeze, and then looked at the huge fleet following behind him, and a sense of pride arose. Now the sailor is finally a little bit of a look, thinking that at the beginning, he only had a group of fishermen under Laoshan Mountain, and he could only drive small boats such as Mengchong Dou Ship to sail in the blue sea and the sky, which is really unbearable to look back on.
