Zhao Xiaoxi, who continued to leave the city, waited until he left the city gate, but ordered the convoy to stop. Looking at the imperial city in front of him, he didn't know when he would be able to come back, and suddenly felt a feeling of reluctance.

I didn't know where the mood came from, Zhao Xiaoxi suddenly dismounted and came to the city gate, knelt down respectfully, and snorted nine heads at the city gate, which represented the capital of the Great Song Dynasty. Subsequently, he personally loaded a handful of soil on the side of the road with yellow silk before getting on the horse and leading the team away.

This scene fell into the eyes of many caring people, and they couldn't help but feel that their eyes were astringent. Everyone knows that Zhao Xu's holy decree to Zhao Xiaoxi seems to have been mentioned from the king of the county to the prince, and he also has the power to open the palace and train troops.

What is Qiongzhou?

It was the place where the Great Song Dynasty used to exile prisoners and ministers, and to put it simply, it was a wild place. What is the difference between being a free prince there and exile?

Yes, Zhao Xu finally gave Zhao Xiaoxi a holy decree and gave him the title of King of Qiongzhou, that is, Hainan Island in later generations. Such a barren land, many people may not have heard of this place in their lifetime.

Although the holy decree gave Zhao Xiaoxi the right to open the mansion to recruit troops, everyone knew that there would be storms in that kind of place from time to time. Even the people of Qiongzhou Island don't want to live there, and if they go to that kind of place to be a prince, what is it if they are not exiled?

Although Qiongzhou also has the Yamen of the Great Song Dynasty, everyone knows that the sky is high and the emperor is far away. Sometimes, even if the imperial court has any orders, when it arrives there, basically the daylilies are cold.

In addition, many criminals and convicts have been exiled there, and the entire Qiongzhou is really a wild and chaotic place. To go to such a place to be a prince, it is still light to say that exile is light, and to say that it is powerful is to let Zhao Xiaoxi die.

Many ministers who learned of this situation couldn't help but sigh. Understand Cho Hyo-seok's actions at the city gate. I'm afraid I know the consequences. In the end, I took away a handful of hometown soil, I hope to leave a memory in the future!

It's just that who knows that Cho Hyo-seok, who plans to go to Ryukyu to claim the king. After receiving this holy decree, there is no doubt that it has a reasonable and legitimate name. Qiongzhou is currently in chaos, but it may not be true to say that he is wild.

With the name of opening a government and training soldiers, Zhao Xiaoxi was able to recruit displaced people. We will develop a site that has not yet been taken seriously. One is located on Qiongzhou Island in the southwest and the other is located on Ryukyu Island in the southeast, which is definitely a big gift.

Zhao Xiaoxi, who felt very satisfied, swept away the injuries and parted when he left Beijing, and suddenly said in high spirits: "Out!" ”

Not long after leaving, the royal guards in front of them encountered several people dressed as family members blocking the road. Seeing these family members who seem to have been waiting here for a long time, they are all the masters behind them on behalf of them, and they came to see off Zhao Xiaoxi.

Look at the letters sent by these family members. There are also those gold and silver fine, and Zhao Xiaoxi also seemed very moved. Soon said: "I'll go back and tell you that today's love has been recorded by Xiaoxi."

It has a chance one day, and Hyo-seok will repay it a hundredfold. Also, tell you, adults, don't worry about me. This trip to Qiongzhou is like a dragon entering the sea for me. It won't be long before the prestige of my King of Qiongzhou will spread all over the world. ”

Listening to Zhao Hyo-seok's confident answer. Although these family members don't understand, go to that kind of wild place. Why do you still seem so excited? But they all said that they would definitely bring Zhao Xiaoxi's words truthfully.

With the acceptance of these gifts owed to Zhao Xiaoxi and the military generals of Wenchen, the convoy continued to move forward. It didn't take long for Zhao Xiaoxi and his party to come to the dock. Directly on a cargo ship that came here to trade, and sailed away under the attention of many people.

Wait until they return to their homes. This was relayed. These ministers of civil and military affairs, who were worried about Zhao Xiaoxi, suddenly felt that today's gift might benefit their family for life.

was able to get out of the imperial city safely, and also took his family out of the capital. If Zhao Xu is benevolent, I am afraid that these ministers will also find it impossible. Then there is only one other possibility. Zhao Xiaoxi has the strength to make Zhao Xu bow his head.

Qiongzhou, which others feared like a tiger, Zhao Xiaoxi took it calmly. Presumably without confidence, Zhao Xiaoxi would not say such confident words. The prestige is spread all over the world, and this is not something that can be done by just talking!

With this expectation, these ministers know that if the emperor knows about this matter, they will definitely blame him again. But in the eyes of these ministers, their identities and status are not earned from one generation to another.

If they owe Zhao Xiaoxi a favor, they should pay it back, and this kind of farewell is not involved in other things. The emperor is so calculating, he also has to consider the consequences of the union of these civil and military ministers.

In a word, being an official of the Great Song Dynasty is sometimes really happy. Many times, if the emperor does something wrong or inappropriate, some civil officials dare to directly admonish and contradict it in the court, and they don't have to worry about being punished for it.

As for Zhao Xu in the imperial city, when he issued this holy decree, it was also to test Zhao Xiaoxi. Of course, Zhao Xiaoxi also has the mind to be disgusted and embarrassed. But when he heard Zhao Xiaoxi calmly accept the offer, he felt that he had done something wrong.

But no matter what, the secret guard reported that Zhao Hyo-seok had already boarded the ship and left. This means that Zhao Xiaoxi, the king of Bashu County, has been dismissed from the court. From then on, there was only one king of Qiongzhou who was not allowed to return to Beijing without a decree.

Cho Hyo-seok, who was on the ship, was also very happy to learn that his father and mother had arrived safely on Ryukyu Island, his secret base. Over the years, his investment in Ryukyu Island has undoubtedly been the greatest.

What makes him even happier is that almost all the pirates who are now active on the southeast coast have been wiped out by his skeleton pirate group, annexation and extermination. The maritime merchant fleet, which is dominated by Mingzhou maritime merchants, can now be described as a commercial network.

Kim Yuna, who is in charge of handling affairs on Liuli Island, is now also planning a counterattack on Goryeo. But she is a woman, and all the military power is in the hands of Zhao Xiaoxi's subordinates, and she can't be instructed at all.

When Zhao Hao and the others arrived in Ryukyu and lived in the palace built on the island, they knew that the woman who controlled the island was actually Zhao Xiaoxi's woman. In addition, these fierce troops were also formed by Zhao Xiaoxi.

sighed that this son, unknowingly overseas, actually laid such a foundation Zhao Hao. I am also looking forward to what the future of this son will be. But the most important thing at the moment is that Zhao Xiaoxi wants to leave Beijing safely.

Looking at Jin Yan'er, who was respectful to the couple, Princess Xu, who learned of her background, finally said: "Yan'er, when Yun'er comes, I will personally make the decision for you and let you get married." If you can, let him lead the army to avenge you. ”

As soon as she heard this, Jin Yuna was naturally overjoyed. Regarding whether Zhao Xiaoxi is a prince or not, in fact, she really doesn't care much. The more she came into contact with Cho Hyo-seok, the more she understood Cho Hyo-seok's abilities.

Cho Hyo-seok's fleet, which entered the sea from the canal, finally arrived at the port of Ryukyu Island after several days of sailing. The officials of Ryukyu Island, who had already learned the news, were all waiting at the pier early.

For this lord who is not there but no one dares to disobey, the ministers of civil and military affairs and the people on the island are very curious. And seeing the appearance of the mighty fleet, there was immediately a loud cheer from the dock.

Including the pirates who have now reformed their ways, as well as the people who have been taken to live in the Ryukyus, they all know that they can finally see and give them a new master today. And as Zhao Xiaoxi stepped off the boat, the titles of the pavilion master, leader, and prince looked very confused.

On the contrary, Zhao Xiaoxi was also very happy and said: "Everyone please get up!" To be able to have today's situation here, everyone has worked hard. Don't worry, when I see my family, I will naturally reward everyone. ”

Truly! Zhao Xiaoxi sometimes lamented that people in this era are too simple-minded. Most of them give a little favor, and they will follow him without abandoning. Even after the establishment of the Ryukyu government, there were no major rebellions.

Looking at this residential place that has already formed a scale, Zhao Xiaoxi also knows that in less than two years, nearly 10,000 households have been absorbed here. With a population of over 100,000, it has become the largest gathering area on Ryukyu Island.

But Zhao Xiaoxi knows very well that this is still in his absence, and it has developed to this point. And as his focus shifts from Fanbang to overseas, this speed will presumably continue to accelerate, and the occupation of the whole island is just around the corner.

With this base as the base camp, Cho Hyo-seok's next step is to blossom in all directions and bring the entire Ryukyu Island under his jurisdiction. As for the several aboriginal tribes currently existing in Ryukyu, Zhao Xiaoxi's handling is that he will be killed if he disobeys the king's command!

Anyway, at this time, the glass country has not yet been officially established. This place is more of a place for pirates to hunt wild food for supplies. But with his arrival, in less than two years, this place has become his family's dominance.

With such a base, Zhao Xiaoxi can completely build it into a base camp that hangs overseas alone. When the time comes, the people from the interior will continue to be recruited to join. It is believed that this Ryukyu Island will become famous earlier than it was in history.

In addition, there is a piece of Qiongzhou Island waiting for him to take over. Zhao Xiaoxi dared to say that if he was given a few years of development, he would be able to claim the king and hegemony in the south of the Great Song Dynasty. Give them a colonial rule over those small countries that are isolated overseas.

Primitive accumulation is undoubtedly a rather bloody process. But Zhao Xiaoxi knows very well that at this moment, the small coastal countries outside the Great Song Dynasty are not called any countries at all. Compared to the Great Song Dynasty, they are still very wild!

Even the Wa Kingdom, which is not far from Goryeo, is a whetstone used by Zhao Xiaoxi to train his army. This somewhat disgusting nation, when Zhao Xiaoxi began to make overseas arrangements, he had already made up his mind to destroy the country.

Although there are earthquakes and volcanic eruptions from time to time, it should be a good choice to colonize. In short, those island countries in Southeast Asia in the future will be baptized by his soldiers in the future! (To be continued......)
