Zhao Hyo-seok, who left the Li Dynasty with the guards, also had a feeling of returning to his heart like an arrow. Knowing that his father Zhao Hao had returned to Xinnancheng one step ahead of him to feel the taste of being a grandfather, Zhao Xiaoxi took a warship directly to the direction of Ryukyu.

Looking at the warship floating on the sea, Zhao Xiaoxi, who used to think that the speed of the ship was not slow, felt that the ship was too slow at the moment. Why is it that in this day and age, there is no means of transportation that can fly from the air?

I thought that I didn't know why, and I missed the taste of taking a plane in my previous life. Zhao Xiaoxi knows that any technology needs time to accumulate and study. wants to get on the plane, but I'm afraid he won't have a chance in this life.

However, seeing the power sails of the warship, Zhao Xiaoxi felt that with the current industrial base under his control, he didn't know if it would be possible to study the steam engine. For this kind of antique steam engine, Zhao Xiaoxi also doesn't know much.

It's just that he knows more or less that it was the emergence of the steam engine that made the world's industry begin to undergo major changes. If a ship could be equipped with a steam engine, the speed would be greatly increased.

But he also knows that the research of any kind of new thing requires a lot of manpower, financial and material resources. At present, his focus will be on the preparation for the battle in all directions, and he thinks that this kind of thing will only be done when he really wins the world.

At that time, there are skilled craftsmen in the world, and with his explanation and theoretical indoctrination, I believe that it should not be difficult to study a steam car. If this kind of thing can be studied, many new things will be born with it.

When human power is replaced by the power of machines, it means that the agricultural society enters the industrial society. Although this span is relatively large, Zhao Xiaoxi believes that the progress of science and technology will also promote the ideological vision of people in this era.

However, there are some things that are in a hurry. Thinking about these things, Zhao Xiaoxi's mood slowly calmed down. No matter what, Cho Hyo-seok hopes that when he closes his eyes in the future, he will be worthy of his bizarre crossing in this life.

When he returned to Ryukyu by boat, the Great Song Dynasty post guards who set off from the Friendship Pass sent another battle report that made the Great Song Dynasty soldiers and civilians boil. Sent to the capital at an expedited speed of 800 miles.

Although the territory of the Li Dynasty was not large, it was the first time that the Great Song Dynasty expanded its territory after the founding of the country. This is the credit of Zhao Xiaoxi, but it is the pride of the soldiers and civilians of the Great Song Dynasty. For a time, Zhao Xiaoxi's prestige among the people naturally increased rapidly.

With the fall of the Li Dynasty, all the Li royal family of the Li Dynasty were escorted into Beijing, and they became a proton royal family who were not allowed to leave Beijing without being ordered. Zhenla and Zhancheng, these small royal families bordering the Li Dynasty, are also panicked.

Even the envoys sent by the Qiongzhou government. It was very clear to them that the Great Song Dynasty had no intention of annexing the entire southwestern states. This conquest of the Li Dynasty was more due to the Li Dynasty's contempt for the majesty of the Great Song Dynasty, which led to the disaster of the country's destruction.

But they were still afraid that the Qiongzhou army would call, so they also sent an envoy to the capital of the Great Song Dynasty to pay tribute as soon as possible. And this tribute is the most abundant in their history, and it will only be recognized by the Great Song Emperor.

Even if you are a king. They are also willing. No one can imagine expanding their territory anymore. The power shown by Cho Hyo-seok this time. It has already made them afraid of this, for fear that the army of the Great Song Dynasty will come to the city.

Compared with the success of the land route, Zhao Xiaoxi, who had been floating on the sea for nearly two days, finally returned to the new South City in the expectation of the people of Xinnancheng. And the news of Zhao Xiaoxi's overthrow of the Li Dynasty has already caused an uproar overseas.

In this battle. The gunboats of the Song Dynasty that kicked off the war also officially appeared in various bases and the Ryukyu Navy at this moment. Many pirates who used to feel that their ships were strong have been reduced to ashes in this comprehensive cleanup.

The appearance of gunboats. Let all the coastal states realize the unstoppable existence of the Song Dynasty's navy. In their opinion, this kind of weapon, which cannot be fought against by manpower at all, also made them come to celebrate after hearing that Zhao Xiaoxi had a son.

During this time, Xinnan City, because of the good news of Zhao Xiaoxi Tianding, became lively again. This trading city, which is proposed to be located in the Ryukyus, also welcomes visitors from all over the world at this time, showing the majesty of the Celestial Empire.

Everyone who came to the Great Song Dynasty and Fanbang people also felt very incredible when they saw this city standing on an isolated island overseas. What makes them even more sighing is that the faces of the people in this city are full of irrepressible smiles and confidence.

In the eyes of many people who have never been to the sea, Ryukyu Island is undoubtedly a wild place. But it is such a wild place that has staged such a miracle of commerce. The merchant ships that are brought in or in here every day hardly stop.

Although there are many maritime merchants, they have thought of building their own ships. Compared with the cost of shipbuilding, it is more reliable to rent a sea ship in New South City. Even in the process of renting, if the goods are lost, New South City will pay compensation.

Gradually, many people don't realize that the most important part of the commercial circulation link has been controlled by Zhao Xiaoxi. If one day, when Cho Hyo-seok needs a shipping fleet, he can make some countries without ships with one order.

In Cho's view, force is not the only way to disintegrate and annex a country. This kind of economic means has penetrated even more unknowingly. Now those businessmen feel that New South City has made a loss-making business.

When Cho Hyo-seok uses these channels in the future, they will understand that their country's shipping workshops have been crushed. Once they lost Cho Hyo-seok's assistance, they didn't even have a boat to go to sea.

Of course, now that countries are so immersed in the happiness that commerce and trade bring to their wealth, no one wonders why there is so much of a ripple effect just by renting these ships. And this is exactly what Cho Hyo-seok wants!

Seeing the people of Xinnan City who came to the dock outside the city to greet him, Zhao Xiaoxi didn't stop much, he rode directly with a little eagerness, waved his hand to the people in the city, and rushed to the direction where the city lord's mansion was located.

The servants of the City Lord's Mansion who originally went to the dock to greet him arrived at the City Lord later than Zhao Xiaoxi. Seeing Zhao Xiaoxi appear, the guards guarding the City Lord's Mansion also knelt down on one knee and saluted respectfully.

Throwing down the sentence 'everyone is happy', Zhao Xiaoxi got off the horse and ran to the backyard. When he saw those women, his eyes were full of surprise, and Zhao Xiaoxi said slightly apologetically: "What about Qing'er?" ”

Knowing that Cho Hyo-seok returned to Ryukyu so soon was to meet his first son in his life. For these princesses, Mu Wanqing's successful birth means that his position in the main palace is more stable.

At the same time, Duan Yu, who successfully led the troops into Shenglong, learned that Mu Wanqing had given birth. also for the first time, let people rush back to Dali, one to inform the Dali monarchs and ministers of the end of the war, and the other to report the good news to their father and aunt.

As the princess of Dali, she successfully gave birth to a son for Zhao Xiaoxi, which is undoubtedly a happy event for Dali. Duan Zhengchun and Qin Hongmian, who learned the news, also smiled when they heard the report that the mother and son were safe.

As soon as possible, get ready for your trip to the Ryukyus. With the destruction of the Li Dynasty, the integration of Dali and the Great Song Dynasty seems to be one step closer. In this regard, Duan Zhengming also began to relax border control.

The large army that had gathered on the border of the Li Dynasty in the past was now only allowed to settle down in some places where the bombs were pressed. Other elite soldiers and strong generals began to gather in Tubo and other borders, which made the Dali border defense a lot more stable.

Although the Li Dynasty was only a small country in the southwest, it was a hegemon in the southwest. Now this overlord, led by Zhao Xiaoxi, was destroyed in just one month, and the news spread that Fanbang was also shocked.

Especially Tubo, who had a conflict with Zhao Xiaoxi, was even more worried about whether Zhao Xiaoxi would lead troops to attack Tubo in the future. In their opinion, although Tibet is located on the plateau, it is difficult for ordinary foreign troops to stay here.

But they all knew that if Zhao Xiaoxi had the ability to destroy the Li Dynasty, it was difficult to say that he did not have the strength to destroy Tubo. For a while, not to mention a small country like Tubo, even the Great Liao side was very nervous.

During the time when Zhao Xiaoxi almost disappeared from their sight, they seemed to have forgotten about the former king of Bashu County. Now that they suddenly heard that Zhao Xiaoxi led his troops to eliminate the Li Dynasty, they were naturally very worried.

The Great Song Jingqi, who is now active on the Song-Liao border, has brought a lot of pressure to the Liao State. Coupled with the chaos in western Liaoning, it has not subsided much, and the Liao State has lost its past glory at this moment.

Yelutu, who was appointed as the crown prince of Liao, remembered what happened in Western Xia back then, and he has always been haunted by it. originally thought that Zhao Xiaoxi had lost power, was worried by the Great Song Emperor, and was exiled to a wild place like Qiongzhou, losing the capital of the threat.

But no one would have thought that in just one year, Zhao Hyo-seok would announce his strong return to everyone who knew him in this way. Having such an opponent is undoubtedly a mortal threat to Liao.

It's just that as steppe people, they are good at riding horses and archery. can let him send someone to Qiongzhou to assassinate Zhao Xiaoxi. Not to mention Zhao Xiaoxi's own martial arts, just taking a boat to Qiongzhou will kill them.

In response to this situation, Jerodul followed the counsellor's advice. He began to send Hosaku to the Great Song Dynasty to spread unfavorable news against Cho Hyo-seok. I want to take this opportunity to drive a wedge between the Song Dynasty emperor Zhao Xu and Zhao Xiaoxi.

Historically, the capable generals of the Great Song Dynasty were not all feared by the king because of their high merits. So that in the end, they did not die by the enemy's sword and arrow, but died in gossip.

Regarding his son's suggestion, Yelu Hongji, who is already much older, also feels that this son has grown up. Know that there are some things that don't have to be solved by force. Sometimes, rumors can kill people.

Despite their meticulous work, the situation in the southwest is not very clear. But they are still relatively familiar with the situation in the Great Song Dynasty. This also led to the fact that when Cho Hyo-seok was enjoying the taste of being a father, news began to circulate in the capital that was unfavorable to him.

Originally, Bu Yige reported the news to him as soon as possible, and at the same time, he also hunted down a lot of Liao State details who spread the news. But these things, in Zhao Xiaoxi's view, are useless at all, on the contrary, they can save him a lot of trouble.

Since Liao's meticulous work also feels that he has the opportunity to seek a plan to usurp the throne, it doesn't matter if he lets this news spread as soon as possible. After all, that's exactly what he intended, but the time wasn't ripe yet! (To be continued......)
