In the summer of the first year of Shaosheng, Zhao Xiaoxi, the king of Qiongzhou in the Great Song Dynasty, arrived at the Qiongzhou Maritime Terminal with his navy. Qiongzhou civil and military officials gathered, and the surrounding people flocked to see the heroic appearance of this prince who was a thousand years old, and the scene was quite spectacular.

Regarding the arrival of Zhao Xiaoxi this time, later generations are also known as the opening of Zhao Xiaoxi's road to hegemony. Zhao Xiaoxi, who arrived in Qiongzhou for the first time, did not expect that he would be so popular with the local people, thinking that his policies of benefiting the people have won the hearts of the people.

In the face of the greetings of these officials under his rule, Zhao Xiaoxi also talked with these officials as a prince. For these officials appointed by the imperial court, after Zhao Xiaoxi arrives, there will definitely be adjustments.

Since he was appointed as the king of Qiongzhou, Zhao Xiaoxi has always paid attention to the military and political affairs in Qiongzhou. For this island, some prefectural orders are simply held by the children of local clans, in order to ensure the stability of the party.

Although the officials appointed in this way ensure the stability of the local area, the consequences can be as follows. When this county magistrate dealt with the affairs of the government office, he would be more biased towards the people of his own clan, which also led to the rapid widening of the gap between the rich and the poor in the local area.

Many people who can't survive in Qiongzhou are almost annexed by these big clans because their land. In desperation, he fled from the home where he relied for his survival with his family, and this situation naturally needs to be changed.

Compared to New South City, Zhao Xiaoxi can use whatever he thinks in his heart. On Qiongzhou Island, there are some things that must be cautious. Especially when dealing with these local clans, it is necessary to combine grace and power to achieve the effect.

In addition, there is another problem in Qiongzhou, which urgently needs to be solved after Zhao Xiaoxi takes office. The bandits here were almost suppressed by Yue Laosan and his people. It's been a long time since I've heard of a sea bandit attacking a coastal village.

But on this big Qiongzhou Island, there are many bandits who occupy the mountain. Of course, these bandits in this era. They are all known as the heroes of the green forest, and many of them rely on robbing the rich to help the poor, disturbing the security and stability of Qiongzhou.

Treating these officials, Zhao Xiaoxi can only say that he is relatively polite, but when he meets these people who come to greet the people. Cho Hyo-seok seems to be very approachable. This scene. Many people were frightened and moved.

looked at Zhao Xiaoxi picking up a child with only a torn coat on his body, exposing his entire lower body. did not dislike it at all, the dirty things on this child's body, and handed over a piece of cane sugar very gently.

The innocent child naturally didn't understand who the person holding him was. But his parents knelt down excitedly and shouted 'Chitose', for fear that because of the child's affairs, the prince would be angry with them.

Free one hand to lift the child's parents up. Zhao Xiaoxi looked at the people who came to greet him and said loudly: "Fathers and fellow villagers, today this king has officially arrived in Qiongzhou. From this day forward, this king is also your father and mother.

Although this king has just arrived in Qiongzhou today, he can see the clothes of your fathers and fellow villagers, and this king also feels guilty. It's just that this king promises that in the days to come, you will be fed and warmly dressed. Live in a warm house.

In a word, from now on, this king will be based in Qiongzhou. Let you live in peace and contentment. The king also hopes that all the villagers can support the work of the government in the future and abide by the laws issued by the government, and the king believes that Qiongzhou will definitely become a paradise on earth. ”

threw out such a few words to inspire the people, Zhao Xiaoxi's words were somewhat similar to his inaugural speech, and he was praised by these simple people. And the officials who came to greet him. But many people feel that life will not be easy in the future.

His family knows his own affairs, and he is about the arrival of the king of Qiongzhou. If you say that the most unwelcome, I am afraid that it is these local clans in Qiongzhou. Relying on their family power, they already regard Qiongzhou as their own territory.

I used to think that the mountain was high and the emperor was far away. No one pays attention to the situation of their territory, and it is up to them to decide how they want to manage it. Even if the imperial court sent some officials down to investigate, most of them sent some money away.

In short, as long as there is no rebellion in Qiongzhou, the imperial court will not pay too much attention to it. Some of the imperial court officials who were appointed here were even forgotten and were not very subject to the jurisdiction of the state yamen.

When Zhao Xiaoxi did not send a skeleton pirate group to clean up the pirates who caused trouble in Qiongzhou, there were many pirates and robbers here. Many county officials did not dare to go out of the county seat to arrest the robbers in the green forest who caused trouble.

It is the powerlessness of the government and the disregard of the imperial court that cause most of the people here to like to fight fiercely, and the folk customs are quite fierce. To solve some neighborhood and village affairs, it is more common to solve them by not asking the government to come forward, but by fighting in groups.

This kind of situation of separate politics and clan rules exceeding national laws is commonplace in Qiongzhou. It was this kind of chaos that made many ministers of the court feel that this was a wild place, regarded as a place of exile for criminals and criminals.

As long as they are thrown to Qiongzhou Island, Leizhou will strengthen surveillance. These convicts and criminals who were exiled to Qiongzhou Island may never have the opportunity to leave Qiongzhou Island in their lifetime, which also exacerbates the chaos in Qiongzhou.

With the appointment of Zhao Xiaoxi as the king of Qiongzhou, Qiongzhou was also given to him as a fief by the imperial court. This means that Qiongzhou will be decided by Zhao Xiaoxi in the future. Then Zhao Xiaoxi, naturally, doesn't want to let it go down.

When Zhao Xiaoxi received the appointment, Zhao Xiaoxi and Yue Laosan ordered to eliminate all pirates operating near Qiongzhou. Any pirates with evil deeds must be ruthlessly eliminated to maintain stability in the waters of Qiongzhou.

As for the green forest heroes who had no way to live on the sea and began to run to the island to occupy the mountains and become kings, Zhao Xiaoxi did not let them do it. The reason is very simple, these so-called green forest heroes are just used for the army's actual combat training.

If Zhao Xiaoxi really wants to exterminate these green forest heroes, he doesn't need to use the power of the government to wipe them out. His prestige in the Central Plains martial arts, as well as the power of the head of the Loose Sect, is too trivial to deal with these people.

The first infantry battalion formed in Xinnancheng has been assembled on Penghu Island, and they are currently undergoing musket training from Wu Wei. When they became proficient in rifle drills, it was when they arrived in Qiongzhou for actual combat.

At present, the officers and troops in Qiongzhou, Zhao Xiaoxi, will all be reorganized. Weed out those who are lazy and lazy, and retain the officers and soldiers who are truly worthy of training. And their training will also be handed over to his guards.

In short, Xinnancheng is where he uses to train the navy, and the base camp of the army will be concentrated on Qiongzhou Island. Unlike other inland infantry, this new type of army must also be able to adapt to naval warfare under certain circumstances.

Despite this era, there is no Marine Corps to say. But Zhao Xiaoxi hopes that in the future, the infantry under his command will be able to cooperate with the navy on the sea ships and be invincible on land.

As for the formation of the cavalry, Zhao Xiaoxi has not considered it yet. The reason is that the cavalry was pulled to Jiangnan for training, and some of them couldn't show their hands. It is better to let the secret camp now established in the territory of Fanbang continue to form cavalry in the form of horse bandits.

When he needed them, these bandits would become, an elite cavalry with a lot of combat experience. After all, wasn't the Iron Harrier Army of Western Xia trained step by step in this way?

Compared with the current Great Song Dynasty's emphasis on the training thinking of soldiers and generals, Zhao Xiaoxi hopes to take the premise that soldiers are fine and valuable. I'd rather train one elite soldier than ten shelves. This means that it is not easy to be his soldier.

In the sound of the people at the dock 'Wang Ye Chitose', Zhao Xiaoxi took Jin Yun'er and others to take a carriage to the Qiongzhou Palace, which was set up not far from here. The road, which can accommodate three horse-drawn carriages in parallel, was built entirely of cement.

During this time, the craftsmen from Xinnan City staged a miracle of road construction for these Qiongzhou officials and people in a miraculous way. Straight concrete roads appeared in front of them.

In the past, some precipitous places were also accompanied by blasters specially sent from firearms workshops. Using things that many craftsmen don't know, these obstructive mountains and passes are bulldozed.

That deafening sound made many people and officials who had seen the scene like a landslide and the ground cracked to call these black-clothed craftsmen Lei Gong. For the explosion sounded like the loud noise of thunder.

It was the appearance of these Lei Gong that made many officials who planned to cause chaos for Zhao Xiaoxi fearful. I feel that with their strength, if they really face these subordinates of King Qiongzhou, I am afraid that the end will not be too good.

Before Zhao Xiaoxi made it and encroached on their interests, these treacherous clan elders would not act rashly. Even if they plan to make some trouble, it must be when the time comes.

It's just that these little abacus of theirs are not a thing at all in Zhao Xiaoxi. Just this time, the royal palace guards he brought to Qiongzhou were not a problem to sweep the officials and troops of Qiongzhou. Not to mention, there is also the navy of Yue Laosan and others.

If these big families can cooperate with his policy program, then they can also enjoy the benefits brought to them by these policies. If they still want to control the local military government, then they must be resolutely eradicated.

It is said that the people here are fierce, but the people who are fierce can be doomed when facing well-trained officers and soldiers. What's more, most of the ethnic groups in the county government under the rule of Qiongzhou are not popular with the local people.

Compared to them, they have absolute power and economy in the local area, and ordinary people cannot confront them. But the arrival of Zhao Xiaoxi, in terms of power and economic strength, also completely crushed their family private soldiers.

It's okay if they don't resist, but if they do, Cho Hyo-seok doesn't mind repeating the trick of killing chickens and scaring monkeys. On this Qiongzhou Island, Zhao Xiaoxi will tell them what it means to prosper those who follow me, and those who oppose me die.

In the face of these subordinate officials with different moods, Zhao Xiaoxi also showed enough enthusiasm. In short, when things don't develop to the point where the swords and soldiers meet, Zhao Xiaoxi will not show hostility, and he will also do this trick of hiding a knife in a smile!
