As the southwest frontier of the Great Song Dynasty, Yongzhou has not encountered war for hundreds of years, although the southwest of Yongzhou is adjacent to the Li Dynasty of South Vietnam, but between Yongzhou and South Vietnam is separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, there are countless local tribes in the middle, inconvenient transportation and many uncivilized barbarians, so Yongzhou has never been afraid of the threat of South Vietnam, so there are not many garrisons in the city, only more than 2,000 local guard troops.

Although the garrison of Yongzhou City was already lax, although it was clear that Nong Zhigao was ready to stand on his own, but tomorrow was the day when Nong Zhigao took the position, and the officers and soldiers of Yongzhou thought that there would be no major incident today, so today's garrison was even more lax.

However, at this time, in the mountains more than ten miles west of Yongzhou, a team of well-equipped soldiers was entrenched in a valley, looking at Yongzhou City in the distance.

In the big tent in the valley, there are four people discussing something, one in the middle is wearing an apricot yellow robe, with a bright moon felt on his head, his figure is not tall, but his face is full of wind and frost, his eyes are evil, and he looks more than thirty, this person is Nong Zhigao, a Guangyuan man in his early twenties who is ready to establish himself as the king.

Nong Zhigao began political exile when he was more than ten years old, and many years of exile life made him look a lot older, but years of exile life made Nong Zhigao have extraordinary tenacity and perseverance, and the glory of his father made Nong Zhigao more ambitious and **, when Nong Zhigao attached himself to the Great Song Dynasty to no avail, he was ambitious and resolutely took refuge in South Vietnam, the enemy of his father, and decided to stand on his own against the Song Dynasty.

In the big tent, in addition to Nong Zhigao, there is also a short and fat scribe and two generals wearing heavy armor, and these three people are Nong Zhigao's right-hand man, Guangzhou Jinshi Huang Wei, and Nong Jianhou and Nong Zhizhong, the warriors of the Nong family.

Guangzhou Jinshi Huang Wei is short and ugly. He once went to Beijing for the imperial examination, although he won the Jinshi. but because of his appearance, he could not have a sacred heart. After Huang Wei, who did not get an official position, learned that Nong Zhigao was ready to stand on his own against the Song Dynasty, he immediately rushed to Yongzhou to follow Nong Zhigao, and offered the strategy of Ming carrying, secretly sending troops, and attacking the four cities together.

Nong Zhigao got Huang Wei's help, and immediately changed his strategy, and set the time of enthronement on the eighth day of the fifth month, but he led 3,000 soldiers and horses to go out at night and day to attack Yongzhou, and even sent three fierce generals under his command to lead 1,000 soldiers and horses each, and sent troops to Guizhou (Guixian County, Guangxi), Hengzhou and Tianzhou.

Tonight is the day when Nong Zhigao attacked Yongzhou. At this time, Di Yongzhou was unaware and defenseless.

"It's time soon, let the soldiers out! Is Brother Ling ready? Nong Zhigao looked at the short and ugly Huang Wei and asked solemnly.

Huang Wei's elder brother Huang Shimi, who was born in a person, tried and failed, and also hated the imperial court, so he took refuge in Nong Zhigao like Huang Wei, and at this time he was leading more than 100 Huang family servants in Yongzhou as an internal response.

"My brother sent information in the afternoon, Yongzhou Zhizhou Chen Gong feasted guests at noon, without the slightest defense, and there were only a dozen guards at the west gate of Yongzhou. My brother is definitely able to control the West City Gate. Huang Wei bowed his hand and said respectfully to Nong Zhigao.

"Good! Jianhou, let the soldiers prepare to come out, and they must conquer Yongzhou tonight. Hearing Huang Wei's words, Nong Zhigao nodded with satisfaction, turned his head and said to the ironclad general Nong Jianhou.

Nong Jianhou listened to the order and turned to leave, and soon gathered the Nongjia army, and the 3,000 Nongjia army went silently towards Yongzhou under the cover of night.

It's approaching midnight. Huang Wei's cousin Huang Shimi led more than 140 strong servants of the Huang family, carrying Pu Dao, bows and arrows, along the dark corner of the wall to the vicinity of the west gate of Yongzhou.

"I'll go get the attention of those soldiers in a moment, and you take the opportunity to touch and kill all the soldiers and open the gates, remember. Don't make too much movement. When you open the gates, you can light three torches! Huang Shimi whispered solemnly to the nearby Huang family slaves.

Seeing that the servants of the Huang family nodded one after another, Huang Shimi took out a bottle of wine and poured it on his body with fear. Then he took four slaves and pretended to be drunks and walked towards the Yongzhou West Gate Gatehouse.

"Stop! Who? Don't you know that the door is closed at night, and it is strictly forbidden to approach? Huang Shimi has not yet reached the west gate, and there are already soldiers at the head of the west gate Huang Shimi, and shouted loudly.

Huang Shimi staggered, pretending to be crazy and stupid, and said loudly: "Strictly prohibited!" Lao Tzu's house is strictly prohibited, farting, even if it is strictly prohibited, it must be strictly forbidden after Lao Tzu goes home. ”

"I'm sorry sir! The old man was drunk, and he didn't listen to any persuasion. A servant of the Huang family replied to the soldiers at the head of the city with a sad face.

"A drunkard, just drive it away." At this time, someone from the gatehouse came out and said impatiently.

"Bastard! Actually in my house, the wild man who stole my wife, Lao Tzu beat you to death. Huang Shimi screamed and staggered towards the gatehouse, and the four servants behind him couldn't even pull the belt.

"Drunkard! Come on! Are we having fun with your wife? Hearing Huang Shimi's scolding, the people in the gatehouse were very angry, but what was there to worry about with a drunk, so they laughed loudly.

In the midst of pushing and shouting, Huang Shimi rushed into the gatehouse, and there were only three soldiers resting in the gatehouse, and at this time, the servants of the Huang family also touched the city gate.

"Do it!" Huang Shimi, who rushed into the gatehouse, gave an order, and the four slaves around him drew out their personal weapons, covered their mouths and killed people, and their movements were very skillful, it seemed that they had been trained for a period of time.

Above the city, hundreds of servants of the Huang family quickly subdued the city gate guards of less than twenty people, and only made a small sound.

After Huang Shimi occupied the West Gate, he lit three bright torches, and the 3,000 soldiers and horses of the Nong family quickly rushed into Yongzhou after receiving the information.

Yongzhou City at night, with the entry of the Nongjia army, it became a shouting to kill the sky, but the shouting and killing only lasted for less than two hours, and before dawn, the Nong army led by Nong Zhigao completely controlled Yongzhou City.

At this time, Tianzhou, Hengzhou, and Guizhou near Yongzhou also shouted to kill Zhentian, and they also fell into the hands of the Nongjia army before dawn.

On the eighth day of the fifth month of the sixth year of the Qing calendar of the Great Song Dynasty, Nong Zhigao, a native of Guangyuan, finally ascended the throne and became the king, founded the Nantian, and called the king of the South Heaven, but the location of the foundation was not Andezhou, where he was located, but Yongzhou City, the northwest frontier state of the Great Song Dynasty.

After Nong Zhigao became king, he opened the Yongzhou treasury and spread the money and grain of the Great Song Dynasty to buy people's hearts. The impoverished Yongzhou was soon embraced, and then Nong Zhi Gao Guang summoned soldiers. Soon 10,000 troops were recruited. Without training, Nong Zhigao took 5,000 veterans and 5,000 recruits to the east and forced the troops towards Guangzhou.

With the arrival of early summer, the weather is slightly hot, and Zhao Fuzhong has begun to prepare for cooling down.

Next to the small lake in the backyard of Zhaofu, a 100-meter-long swimming pool ripples in the water, and the water of the small lake in the backyard of Zhaofu comes from Bianshui, and the non-stop flowing small lake keeps the Zhaofu Zhongdi swimming pool clean and cool.

Four years have passed since the cement Ming Dynasty, and in the past four years, the Great Song Dynasty has regarded the construction of roads as a top priority. Now the main roads in the north and south of the Great Song Dynasty have been built, the new cement avenue has connected the various roads of the Great Song Dynasty together, and the secondary roads have also begun to work, but the project is not so urgent, the cement of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Institute can finally be moved out a little, Zhao Lei will certainly not let go of the cement that can change the quality of life, and Zhao Lei embezzled some cement to build the first cement swimming pool in the history of Zhao Mansion.

The cement swimming pool of Zhaofu is famous, and when Zhao Lei's friends enjoyed the coolness of the swimming pool in Zhaofu, the cement swimming pool became an indispensable place to escape the heat in summer. In just one year, every household in the powerful family on Jingsi Road has built a cement swimming pool, and if there is no cement swimming pool at home, those powerful people are embarrassed to go out in summer.

The afternoon sun was a little spicy, Zhao Lei took a dip in the pool, and began to teach his children to swim, watching the four children play in the water happily, Zhao Lei was immersed in the joy of family.

"Official! Be careful! "Watch your children play in the water there. Zhao Lei's wife, Tian Lan, stood aside with a worried face and said.

"Lan'er! Are you coming down too! It's so hot, it's time to go to the heat. Zhao Lei was wearing shorts, bare chest, revealing his capable muscles, and said to Tian Lan with a smile.

With the popularity of swimming pools. The swimsuits made by Zhao Lei for his wives were also popularized. Although there are no women who wear it in public, it only relies on the sales of swimsuits from the Zhao family's clothing store. Zhao Lei knew the allure of swimsuits for men and women in the Great Song Dynasty, and Zhao Lei himself also liked to admire his wife and concubine in swimsuits when no one was around, embarrassed and affectionate, but what disappointed Zhao Lei was that Tian Lan and they refused to wear those swimsuits even in front of their children, so Zhao Lei has been tempting Tian Lan and them to swim, but they have not succeeded.

Of course, Tian Lan understood Zhao Lei's thoughts, and after shirking with a slightly red face, she paid attention to the four children playing in the water again.

"By the way, Xinlan, haven't they come back yet? It's so hot, just let the shopkeeper guard there, why bother to sit and suffer in person! Zhao Lei looked at Tian Lan and frowned and said.

With the stability of Zhao Lei's official position, the Zhao family is more and more prosperous, although Zhao Lei has no relatives in this dynasty, but his wives have a lot of relatives and friends, in recent years, people have been taking refuge in Zhao Mansion, in order to find a stable income for the relatives of his wives, Zhao Lei's group shops are all over Jingsi Road, from the very beginning of the folding fan shop, pharmacy, continue to increase the clothing shop, restaurant, car dealership, as well as the entertainment shop specializing in poker, mahjong and other entertainment items, there are more and more shops in Zhao Mansion, and Zhao Lei's ladies stay in Zhao Mansion is too boring, began to take over some business, Bai Xinlan has spread the folding fan to the south of the Yangtze River in recent years, and Xiaocui will also spread the pharmacy all over Jingsi Road, Shengguo Princess Lichen Shop leads the trend of dressing in the Great Song Dynasty, Yang Jinhua married into the Zhao family, abandoned martial arts and practice, and now the Zhao family restaurant is comparable to Pan Lou, Xiao Ruoruo also took over the car dealership, and is responsible for the smuggling activities of Xixia, it is in full swing, and now these four Zhao Mansion ladies are called the four nobles of the Zhao family by the good people of Bianjing.

"Sister Xinlan, they have made an appointment today to look at the newly made clothes with a few wives of the court, and it is estimated that they will come back later." Tian Lan heard Zhao Lei's words and replied with a smile.

"I wanted to swim with Xinlan and them! It seems that there is no chance today. Zhao Lei shook his head regretfully and said.

Just when Zhao Lei was teaching the children to swim, a maid suddenly walked into the swimming pool in the backyard and said respectfully to Zhao Lei: "Master! An angel in the palace came to promulgate the royal palace, so that the lord could enter the palace as soon as possible. ”

At this time calling, something must have happened to the imperial court, the south or the north, or is there a catastrophe there? When Zhao Lei heard the words of the maidservant, he immediately understood that something was wrong in the imperial court, and while beckoning Tian Lan to prepare clothes, he guessed in his heart.
