It is already the deep winter season in the Tuda Song Dynasty, but the city of Manila in the South China Sea is still as warm as spring. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info//, qΠ5\\
On a luxurious attic in the quiet Manila harbor, Zhao Lei was dressed in a light silk coat, leaning against the attic window, enjoying the beautiful night view of the harbor outside the window.
Just when Zhao Lei was admiring the beautiful night sea dancing with silver waves under the bright moon, there was a sudden sound of light footsteps behind him.
Xiao Ruoruo walked to Zhao Lei's side barefoot, wearing a close-fitting silk coat, snuggled up to her beloved man and sat down gently, looking at the beautiful night scene outside the window, and experiencing the short-term warmth between the two.
"Jinhua slept?" Zhao Lei naturally stretched out his hand and hugged Xiao Ruoruo's soft and plump delicate body into his arms, and asked in a low voice to the woman who accompanied him.
"The little girl took her subordinates on patrol for a day today, and she was tired and rested early." Xiao Ruoruo writhed twice in Zhao Lei's arms, and after changing into a comfortable position, she replied to Zhao Lei softly.
"The little girl is homesick, and she cried in her dream yesterday to call her brother! Although Manila is a good place to escape the cold, it is too far away from Middle-earth, although the city is prosperous, but there are all kinds of Bianjing in the east and west, plus the life is not familiar, homesickness is also commonsense! Xiao Ruoruo snuggled in Zhao Lei's arms and told Yang Jinhua's recent thoughts.
"It's almost the end of the year, and we've been away from Bianjing for nearly a year, not to mention Jinhua, but I miss Lan'er, Xinlan, and Feng'er, Zhong'er, Yu'er and Jin'er." Zhao Lei thought of several wives and sons who were far away in Bianjing. said in a low voice with a worried face.
"Wait a little longer! Anyway, it's not far from the time we return to Bianjing. Xiao Ruoruo thought of the food in Bianjing Zhao Mansion and the warm atmosphere in the mansion, and said longingly.
"Oh! How did you know we were going back to Bianjing? Zhao Lei asked with a surprised face when he heard Xiao Ruoruo's words.
"Mr. Su is right! When Mr. Su heard that the little girl was homesick, he told us that we were going back to Bianjing soon. Xiao Ruoruo said casually without any care.
"This Su Mingyun, how can this kind of thing be said nonsense, if in wartime. I have to treat him for the crime of disturbing the morale of the army! Zhao Lei shook his head with a smile on his face and said.
"Are we really going back to Bianjing?" When Xiao Ruoruo heard Zhao Lei's words, he immediately realized that Su Xun's words were true, and hurriedly asked Zhao Lei in surprise.
"Not bad! Soon we will return to Bianjing, I have already given the official family an excerpt, let the official family send someone to Manila, take over the affairs of Manila, after all, we are all military attachΓ©s, whether it is to take over the household registration of Mayi, counting the documents and accounts of Mayi and other affairs are not our strong points, look at us occupying Mayi for so long. Ma Yi's government affairs are still a mess, and without those shrewd officials of the imperial court to preside over it, it is difficult for us to maintain the daily government affairs of Manila! Zhao Lei nodded and said in a deep voice to Xiao Ruoruo.
"It is rumored in the army that the Right Qianniu Army will stay to guard Ma Yi, is this news true?" Xiao Ruoruo heard Zhao Lei's answer, and threw out a second question.
"Not bad! Ma Yi is so big. We must leave heavy troops to guard, Brother Ming Yun and I have appreciated the face, not only the right Qianniu army must stay, but also the navy of Shi Qiang and Zhu Sheng, but also to stay to prevent chaos in Ma Yi! Zhao Lei carefully explained to Xiao Ruoruo and said.
"You mean to say. The navy left Shi Qiang and Zhu Sheng's fleet, and An Jundi's right Qianniu army also left, and the rest of the people returned to Guangzhou, right! What about Bo mud? Aren't we going to take the mud next? Xiao Ruoruo asked Zhao Lei with great puzzlement.
"Take the mud! How easy is it to say? You must know that Bo mud is not as good as Ma Yi. Although Ma Yi's strength is much stronger than Bo Ni, but Bo Ni has been used for so many years and no one has beaten him, do you know why? Thinking of the Bo Ni Country on Kalimantan Island, Zhao Lei said with a headache.
"Bo mud! I don't know, I only know that Bo Ni and the Great Song Dynasty have a good relationship, Bo Ni sent an envoy to Bianjing in the second year of Taiping Xingguo (977 AD) to meet the official family of the Great Song Dynasty, and became a vassal state of the Great Song Dynasty, and I don't know anything else. Xiao Ruoruo thought about the perception of Bo Ni in his mind and said seriously.
Think of the terrible country of Bo Ni. Zhao Lei has a little scalp numbness.
Zhao Lei didn't know much about Bo Ni, and began to think that Bo Ni was the same as Ma Yi, there was a powerful country guarding the entire Bo Ni, and Zhao Lei could take down the entire Bo Ni Country as long as he conquered this country.
But when Zhao Lei got the information about Bo Ni from Mahathi's mouth, Zhao Lei realized that if Da Song won Bo Ni, not only would it not do any good to Da Song, but it would cause great harm to Da Song.
From Mahathi's mouth, it is known that although the current Bo Ni country is the only country in Kalimantan, Bo Ni only owns a small part of the northwest coast of Kalimantan Island, and most of Kalimantan Island, with a total area of 730,000 square kilometers, is covered by dense tropical rainforests, and the owners of these tropical rainforests are terrifying headhunters.
Zhao Lei learned from Mahati that Sriwijaya had the idea of fighting the Boni country decades ago, but after tens of thousands of navies boarded the 6 Boni country, they were lured into the forest by the king of Boni, and tens of thousands of Sriwijaya navies all became the prey of headhunters, and finally less than a thousand people fled back to Sriwijaya, and most of them were frightened crazy, and they didn't dare to fight the idea of Boni again.
Zhao Lei analyzed the intelligence of Bo Ni and learned that there are a total of 13 states in Bo Ni Country, with a population of about 1.3 million, and a navy of 40,000 people, but there are less than 10,000 guards in 6 places.
Combined with all kinds of information, Zhao Lei finally gave up the plan to attack Bo Ni, you must know that Bo Ni not only can not immigrate, but also has no use value, after taking Bo Ni, it will be bordered by the destruction of the Zhu Empire of the Three Buddhas, maybe it will be remembered by the huge country of the Zhu Empire, this kind of thing that is not beneficial, how can Zhao Lei do it, so Zhao Lei decided to temporarily let go of Bo Ni, leaving a buffer country with the Zhu Empire. After the strength of the Great Song Dynasty Navy increased, he directly took Bo Ni and then competed for Malacca in the Zhuran Empire, but the Great Song Dynasty Navy wanted to compete with the Zhuyuan Imperial Navy, and there was no time to do it for decades, and it is estimated that Zhao Lei would never have seen it in his life.
Since he couldn't make enemies with Bo Niguo, Zhao Lei had no choice but to write a recital and submit it to the official Zhao Zhen. hopes that the official Zhao Zhen will find an official to replace him, so that Zhao Lei can return to Bianjing.
"Headhunters! Do they eat people? Xiao Ruoruo asked with shock and fear when she heard what Zhao Lei said about the situation in the Boni Kingdom.
"Don't eat people! They grow rice, but they hate to see the living, and all the living who step into their forest, they will cut down the land of the living and hang it at the edge of the forest to warn all outsiders. Zhao Lei felt the warm jade and warm fragrance in his arms, hugged him tightly after fear, and continued to threaten him.
"Don't say it, it's scary. This kind of place is the surrender of the Bo Ni Kingdom, and the people of the Great Song Dynasty dare not go in to live! Xiao Ruoruo heard Zhao Lei's pretending to be terrifying, looked around a little timidly, hugged Zhao Lei hard and said.

Just when Zhao Lei and Xiao Ruoruo were talking about Bo Ni at night. In the Zichen Hall of Bianjing in the Great Song Dynasty, the official Zhao Zhen and the eight important ministers of the imperial court were discussing the affairs of the South China Sea.
"The Great Song Dynasty has already gained enough benefits in the South China Sea, I am afraid that at this time, the Zhu Yuan Empire has begun to pay attention to the Great Song Dynasty, and at this time the Great Song Dynasty does not have the strength to continue to expand, so it is better to suspend the pace of expansion. Continue to accumulate strength and wait for the battle for Malacca with the Zhuyuan Empire, and there will be no war in the South China Sea for some time to come. Ma Yiguo couldn't leave too many troops behind, so Zhao Aiqing asked me to return to Beijing in the excerpt, and at the same time let me send someone to take over Zhao Aiqing's position as the commander of the navy! The official Zhao Zhen sat on the dragon chair and said to the eight important ministers of the court below with a red face.
Zhao Lei was going to return to Beijing, and when he heard the news, Ye Qingchen immediately became anxious, you must know that he was the mastermind of the new army's logistics yamen, and he was recently trying to pay off the six million taels of silver that had been embezzled, and the silver had not been paid off before. The last reason he saw Zhao Lei return to Bianjing, Ye Qingchen, who was familiar with Zhao Lei's character, knew that if he didn't pay the debt before Zhao Lei returned to Bianjing, he was afraid that he would be unlucky.
"Lord Zhao is back, what should the navy do? The navy can't do without Lord Zhao? Ye Qingchen immediately thought of a reason and was ready to drag Zhao Lei in the Guangzhou Navy Port.
"The foundation of the navy Zhao Aiqing has been laid, now as long as you recruit young people along the coast and train diligently, there is no need to trouble Zhao Aiqing at all, I am ready to send the commander of the Bianjing Forbidden Army to Guangzhou to serve as the commander of the navy, and replace Zhao Aiqing back to Bianjing to continue to be responsible for training the new army, you Aiqing have any opinions!" The official Zhao Zhen looked at Ye Qingchen's angry appearance, and said with a secret smile in his heart.
"The official family is sage! But who are the officials going to send to Mayi? Meng Wang Zhao Yuanyan stood up and said respectfully to the official Zhao Zhen, and his words also aroused the ideas of other important ministers, you must know that Ma Yi is rich in gold and brass, both of which are metal materials needed by the Great Song Dynasty, no matter who goes to Ma Yi, as long as they can continuously transport back these two things to the Great Song Dynasty, it will definitely add a lot to the political achievements, Ma Yi is now the place where those big officials of the imperial court are gilded, and countless people are staring at the island country far away in the South China Sea!
The majestic gaze of the official Zhao Zhen swept over Zhao Yuanyan, the king of Meng, Wang Zeng and Zhang Shixun, the governors Yan Shu and Li Ruogu, the privy envoy Chen Yaozuo, the privy deputy envoy Chen Xiliang, and the third envoy Ye Qingchen, and began to wonder who to let guard the Ma Yi country far away from the Great Song Dynasty.
This person must be loyal and capable, the qualifications can not be too shallow, the age can not be too big, and the relationship with several major factions in the imperial court can not be too deep, the official Zhao Zhen thought about it, and finally circled the imperial envoy Zhao Zheng, this Zhao Zheng also stayed in the imperial envoy for a few years, quite a political achievement, and the famous is not afraid of power, and Bao Zheng is called the "Qingtian Imperial Envoy", the age is only thirty, it is the best person to go to Mayi.
Although the candidate was circled, the official Zhao Zhen still pretended to let the eight important ministers of the imperial court recommend the candidates to go to Mayidi, and then denied them one by one, and finally threw out Zhao Zhen, the candidate who had already been decided, King Meng, the prime minister and other important ministers of the court would oppose the decision of the official Zhao Zhen.
