Since embarking on the road of resisting the tyranny of the Liao Emperor, Qiao Feng led the secret camp cavalry organized by Zhao Xiaoxi, as well as the Liao people who fled one after another. In the Western Xia, the Uighurs and the Great Liao Three Kingdoms, they can be regarded as having a firm foothold.

Now a large tribe led by Qiao Feng made the tired Liao Emperor have the heart to eradicate it, but he does not dare to move troops at will. The reason is very simple, Qiao Feng's cavalry are all elite, and he has a deep hatred with Emperor Liao.

More importantly, the son of the emperor's uncle, who failed to be killed in the rebellion, has now taken root in the northwest of Liao. If the Liao Emperor wanted to exterminate these rebel forces, he would shake his rule in Zhongjing and Shangjing.

Faced with this situation, Emperor Liao finally made the decision to suspend the war. No longer heavily encircled, these rebels fled to the remote northwest. More energy should be devoted to sorting out the country's armaments.

Of course, a big reason for Emperor Liao to let go of the encirclement and suppression was that they felt the threat of the Great Song Dynasty. Everyone knows how much trouble it will cause to lose these territories in the Great Liao, which was established with the sixteen states of Yanyun.

Coupled with the rise of the Jurchen tribe, in this case, it allowed Daliao to carry out a period of peace. Da Liao, who is threatened from three sides, is not having a good time now. Fortunately, for war, the people under that side don't like it.

became the general of the rebel army, Qiao Feng refused the surrender of Emperor Liao, and also refused the invitation of the rebel prince. And what makes Zhao Xiaoxi even more interesting is that the coyote tribe that supported Yeluqi eventually got mixed up with the rebels.

Even Yelutu, who is currently designated as the prince of Liao, also hates these guys who fled from the clan. But in the face of such a tense domestic situation, he had to put aside his grudges and prepare to take over the Liao State.

As for the Great Song Dynasty, who originally wanted to move troops, it was also because of the funeral of the Empress Dowager Gao. Military operations had to be suspended. In addition, the north is about to enter winter, which is not suitable for sending troops, and the border is tense for a while and quiet.

And the matter of Western Xia and relatives, which was destroyed by Zhao Xiaoxi, shifted the attention of the Liao State to the Great Song Dynasty. They have finally gotten the period of stability they want most, and continue to bury their heads in reviving domestic strength.

In a word. It seems that several countries with war clouds are in full swing, but with the arrival of winter, there are a series of changes. It gradually calmed down again, and the Great Song Border Army also began to carry out a routine Jingbian operation.

It's just that whether it is Great Liao or Western Xia, in this case, they will not easily send troops to break into the Great Song Dynasty. This also means that the military and civilians at the Great Song Border Pass can have a stop this year. Don't worry about the wolf smoke happening.

Compared with the situation between Song Liao and Western Xia, there is only the Tibetan side that is a little unstoppable now. It's just that in the face of the attack of Tubo, the Great Song Dynasty and Dali joined forces, and they couldn't make any waves, but they had to be careful that the gains outweighed the losses.

Although he is on this sea, the speed at which Zhao Xiaoxi receives the information is a little later than before. But Zhao Xiaoxi knows it. From the moment he walked out of the capital, not only did he have to lie dormant for a while. The same goes for his intelligence services.

Compared with the temperature in the north, which began to plummet, Cho Hyo-seok, who was on Ryukyu Island, was in full swing in order to build a new city. With the arrival of these women, Cho Hyo-seok is full of energy and hopes to give them a safe environment.

During this time, there was the arrival of Duan Zhengchun. Zhao Hao also has a pastime. It's okay to take this king of Zhennan to the beach for fishing, and from time to time take a group of people and horses to hunt in the nearby mountains and forests.

As for Mu Wanqing, these women. Recently, I have been living a very leisurely life, accompanying those mothers-in-law and mothers every day, and going around this base. Except for the evening, everyone is looking forward to the return of Cho Hyo-seok, and this life is not too boring.

Maybe it's hard to come out once, and with new things happening from time to time recently, the girls' attention has also shifted to collecting some new objects. Every time a boat comes, it is indispensable to go over and buy something.

At this time, the site selection of the new city, which was in charge of Jiang Dashi, the director of the Ministry of Industry, officially entered the stage of construction. The slaves who had been captured and sold from Sribudjava were trying to transport stones and trees to the place where the city was being repaired.

For these slaves, they also felt that life here did not seem to be as bitter as it seemed to be. As long as they work hard, they can eat food that is like a delicacy of the mountains and the sea for them.

Looking at the foundation of the new city that was gradually excavated, Duan Zhengchun and others were also looking forward to how spectacular this new city would be when it was completed. For the city lord's mansion in the center of the new city, they are full of expectations.

The trade, led by the Ministry of Commerce, also made the maritime merchants living along the coast of the Great Song Dynasty ecstatic. As long as Zhao Xiaoxi needs the materials, these maritime merchants will buy them and sell them to the skeleton pirate group to make a profit.

This kind of good thing, which can earn a lot of money without leaving home, undoubtedly makes the maritime merchants happy. I wish Zhao Hyo-seok was a bit of a loser like this, the more the better.

Only some brave maritime merchants learned that after the completion of the new city, shops would be opened in the city to facilitate the trading of maritime merchants. Everyone knows that the future of Xinnancheng will definitely have unlimited business opportunities, and they have come to the island to check the situation in the name of new goods.

In this state of hustle and bustle across the island, the migrants have also reaped their food for the year. Seeing the rice and grain in storage, the people also seemed very happy. With food, it means everything.

What's more, with the increase in infrastructure projects on the island, they used to have to sit at home and eat idle food. You can also find a job on the island and earn some money to help improve the conditions of your family, which also invisibly stimulates the circulation of goods on the island.

As the lord of the city, Zhao Xiaoxi, at the moment, is looking at the newly fired cement with the cement factory, accompanied by sand and gravel. Looking at the cement block that was finally as hard as a stone after a while, the workers of the cement factory were also very happy.

Seeing that the cement was finally successfully produced, Zhao Xiaoxi said very boldly: "Uncle Fu, wait a minute, and give the workers in the factory two taels of reward money each." The foreman and the chief will be rewarded with ten taels and fifty taels each. Kill a pig again in the evening and add food to everyone! ”

Hearing this, the chief and the foreman were naturally pleased, and of course the workers were even more pleased. But at this time, Zhao Xiaoxi said loudly: "Everyone, the amount of cement output determines the speed at which we build a new city.

Now the bricks produced by the brick factory have been piled up on the foundation of the new city. With this cement, I believe that our first city will soon appear before you. Therefore, you are still working hard to produce more cement! ”

Jiang Dashi, the director of the Ministry of Works, who came with him, also knew that with this kind of cement, the speed at which the masons would build the city wall would be incomparably faster. And Jiang Dashi finally understood why Zhao Xiaoxi would say that the new city he painted was too childish.

The advent of this kind of cement is bound to change the way the masons do it. In the past, the way of building the city wall by manpower will also be greatly changed. And the cement produced appeared on the construction site of the new city the next day.

Looking at this kind of city wall cemented and constantly superimposed, Duan Zhengchun, who has often come here to hang out recently. He said very curiously: "Virtuous son-in-law, if you build this city wall like this, I'm afraid it won't be able to withstand the wind and rain, right?" ”

Facing Duan Zhengchun's puzzlement, Zhao Xiaoxi smiled and said, "Uncle, don't worry, this is the first city I built, how could I not know its importance." Now you think that the wall is not strong, but tomorrow you will know when you come to see it. ”

Sure enough, Duan Zhengchun, who returned to the City Lord's Mansion with a confused mind. When I came to the construction site again the next day, I saw that those craftsmen had already built the city wall to the height of one person, which was unheard of at a speed that was simple and unheard of!

But when Zhao Xiaoxi took him to a city wall that was built yesterday, he tried to push it. These seem to be just simple superimposed city walls, but they find that they don't move at all, even if they try their best.

Only then did Zhao Xiaoxi smile and say, "Uncle, this kind of clay that acts as a glue is specially made by me for people to fire." When I first glued it on, it wasn't really tight. But after a day, these glued walls are unbreakable.

It can be said that with this kind of place, as long as there is enough money. This wall can be completed in half a month at most. Once the walls are finished, we can start building the inner city.

If it weren't for the short time of the New Year, maybe we would all be able to celebrate the New Year in the new city. However, depending on the progress, as long as the supply of financial materials is up. After the New Year, it won't be long before you can see a new city rising from the ground. ”

Indeed, with such a thing as cement, building a wall is very simple. As long as someone prepares the material, the craftsman just needs to keep stacking it. With such an easy speed of city building, it is no wonder that Duan Zhengchun and others were surprised.

But Zhao Xiaoxi knows that this city of miracles is just the beginning. In the future, new things will continue to emerge from this island, which will completely change the inherent knowledge of many Great Song people. After all, he had been preparing for this day for a long time!

The emperor is far away, and Zhao Xiaoxi, who came here, finally doesn't have to worry about anything shocking. As long as he can think of something, this era can be produced, he no longer hides it all and lets it go.

In the newly formed factory, there is also a glass factory. Those things that were brought to China by Europeans in later generations, Zhao Xiaoxi also planned to produce them. It is used to earn wealth and support his continuous expansion.

Even in the future construction of the castle lord's mansion, he will decorate it with this kind of glaze. Even in the evening, you don't have to worry about those windows, which are covered with paper and look very dim.

In short, this is the first new city he built, and when he goes to Qiongzhou to take office. He would also build a city in Qiongzhou for those living in the interior to know. Qiongzhou is an overseas blessed land, not an imaginary wilderness.

With these two bases, he will be able to slowly infiltrate the major cities along the coast. In the end, with these cornerstones, the strategy of returning to the Central Plains was realized. At that time, anyone who stands in the way of his ambition will be crushed and killed! (To be continued......)
