15th of May, 5th year of Gaia, Summer Palace.

On this day, Ouyang Shuo's pair of children fell to the ground, according to the cabinet's recommendation, the boy's name was Ouyang Yu, because he was born ten minutes early, he was fortunate to be an elder brother; The girl's name is Ouyang Luo, and she is her younger sister.

As soon as the news came out, all the officials congratulated the table.

Ouyang Shuo even took the opportunity to announce an amnesty to the world, and the prisoners of Daxia, as long as they did not commit heinous serious crimes, would be pardoned and released, so as to show the king's grace and the whole world celebrate.

The Temple of Infinity.

Looking at the pair of white and tender children in swaddling clothes, Ouyang Shuo rarely showed a gentle smile, both the nervousness of being a father for the first time and the joy of a successor.

Whether it is Yu'er or Luo'er, they are extraordinary as soon as they are born, and there is a totem on each of the forearms of their right hands, one is a golden dragon and the other is a fire phoenix, which is lifelike.

When the female official in the palace saw it, she was speechless in surprise.

Shisu, the head of the female officials, said with a smile: "The prince and the princess are really dragons and phoenixes among people, and they are born extraordinary. ”

Ouyang Shuo smiled slightly and said: "Decree, the heir of the king is born, and the female officials and palace maids in the summer palace have merit, and they will be rewarded according to their grades." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Shisu led a group of female officers and received thanksgiving.

Ouyang Shuo waved his hand, finally looked at his wife who was leaning on the bed, and said with a smile: "Madame has worked hard, rest well, I will go to the front hall first, and come back later." ”

Song Jia smiled softly, "Husband, go get busy!" ”

…………

Ouyang Shuo rushed to the front hall, in addition to accepting the congratulations of hundreds of officials, he also wanted to meet one person, it was Hu Zongxian, the governor of Annan, who had just returned from Hanoi to report to the capital.

Ten days were before the end of the Battle of Annam, and although the wounds of the war could not be erased immediately, the turmoil caused by the war gradually subsided.

How to govern Annan Province, Hu Zongxian had to personally report to the king.

In addition, Hu Zongxian also brought a batch of treasures, which were obtained by raiding the treasury of the royal city, and even the treasury of Haiphong City, and all the valuables had been transported to the capital.

Just in time for the birth of the heir, Hu Zongxian was a good luck. It is estimated that in the next period of time, the governors of all provinces will enter Beijing one by one to congratulate this matter.

Among the confiscated items, not to mention the gold, silver and jewelry, how to dispose of it, the cabinet has its own charter, and there is no need for Ouyang Shuo to worry about it. Hu Zongxian's natural province presents only two of the rarest treasures.

【Millennium Ginseng】(Zijin): Top medicinal herb, can also be used as a tonic.

Although the introduction is short, it is a real rarity, just when Song Jia has just produced and needs to stop, this thousand-year-old ginseng came at the right time.

[Listening Talisman] (Purple Gold): You can inquire about a conversation with a designated person at a specified time.

According to legend, Di Ting is a psychic beast lurking under the Jizo Bodhisattva Sutra, which can identify all things in the world by listening, and is especially good at listening to people's hearts.

This is simply an eavesdropping artifact, which can be used in critical situations.

Accepting the two treasures presented by Hu Zongxian, Ouyang Shuo began to explain his plan for Annan Province, and the first sentence he said made Hu Zongxian excited, "Annan Province is just a transition, in the future, after conquering Nanzhang and Zhenla, the three places will be merged into one province, I have thought of the name, it will be called Hanoi Province." ”

After a pause, Ouyang Shuo said: "Ruzhen, work hard in Annan, don't let me down." The implication is clear, the future governor of Hanoi is none other than Hu Zongxian.

If the three places are really to be merged, Hanoi Province can be ranked among the top three provinces in terms of area and strategic position, and the weight of the Governor of Hanoi will naturally rise.

"Weichen must be smeared with liver and brain to repay the king's kindness!" Hu Zongxian nodded solemnly.

"Together with the tunnel between Annam and Yunnan, it is the lifeline of transportation between the inland and ASEAN, you should pay attention to it, cooperate with Yunnan Province, and take this opportunity to open up a trade route." Ouyang Shuo then commanded.

The tunnel is connected to Mengding County of Yunnan Province at one end and Gaoping County of Annan Province at the other end, so it is named Menggao Tunnel. Whether it is Mengding County or Gaoping County, both are mountainous areas, the mountain roads are rugged, and it is not easy to open up a trade route for free trade between the two sides, and it requires a lot of investment in people, money and property.

"Financially, the imperial court will have a certain amount of support, and how to operate it will require you two governors to personally coordinate." Ouyang Shuo gave Hu Zongxian a reassurance.

"Wechen understands!"

Hu Zongxian is fearless, he is a person who does practical things and is not afraid of difficulties.

"In addition, Annam Province should also play the role of an intermediary to reconcile the relationship between the dynasty and ASEAN countries, especially Johor, Siam and other countries, to focus on pacification, exchange commerce and trade, let them feel the sincerity of the dynasty, and must not let ASEAN countries become one."

Daxia has no intention and cannot really take down all the ten ASEAN countries, so it must offend everyone, and "pacify one piece and suppress a group" is the king.

Ouyang Shuo must explain this point clearly to Hu Zongxian, so as not to misfire.

Hu Zongxian listened to it and silently wrote it down.

In addition to the above three points, the rest are trivial, even if Ouyang Shuo doesn't mention it, there is a cabinet to worry about. Take 10,000 steps back and say, if it's not good, there is still Hu Zongxian playing on the spot in Annan.

…………

In the next two days, Ouyang Shuo received a steady stream of congratulations, some of whom came to Shanhai City in person, such as Lin Jing, Xie Siyun and others; There are also representatives who are sent, such as the phoenix prisoner.

Most of them are congratulated through letters, such as blood romance.

Of course, there were other people in the congratulatory crowd, and it was some of the leaders of the large guilds, who had come for the satellite city of Annam.

As is customary, Daxia will hold an auction on the qualifications of satellite towns and make a lot of money.

In addition to introducing the Satellite City Guild, Ouyang Shuo also intends to attract a group of adventurous players to settle in Annam Province, in order to spread Han culture and expand its influence.

All in all, Shanhai City is very lively these days.

At this moment, there was a sudden burst of system announcements, stirring up the storm.

"System Announcement: Congratulations to the player Di Chen for becoming the second lord in China to be promoted to the capital, and the reward is worth 90,000 points, congratulations to the player!"

……

"World Announcement: Congratulations to the Chinese player Di Chen for becoming the third lord in the world to be upgraded to the capital, rewarding 100,000 points for merit and 150,000 points for prestige, congratulations to the player!"

……

As soon as the announcement came out, Emperor Chen was in the limelight.

In less than ten days, Emperor Chen completed the task of advancing to the capital, which can be described as fast. Just when everyone was lamenting the speed of Handan City's promotion, another system announcement sounded, which caught everyone off guard.

"System announcement: The second capital city was born in China, the campaign system was triggered, and the ninth battle [Battle of Yashan] will be officially opened in three days, so stay tuned. Friendly reminder: The Battle of Yashan is a non-mandatory campaign scenario mission, and only territories promoted to a third-level county are eligible to sign up. ”

……

It is now May 17th, and the national war month in June is approaching, but at this time, the battle is suddenly triggered, and this change is afraid that even Emperor Chen is a little caught off guard.

"Gaia is really willful!"

Ouyang Shuo, who was receiving the visiting envoys in the summer palace, shook his head helplessly.

When it comes to this battle, there is a lot to be said. Strictly speaking, the Battle of Yashan is not a large-scale or splendid battle.

In a sense, there were no bright spots in the battle.

Why, then, did Gaia choose the "Battle of Yashan" as the most representative battle of the entire Song Dynasty? Without it, it is only because this battle is related to the inheritance of Chinese civilization.

The Battle of Cliff Mountain? Also known as the Battle of Yashan, it was a large-scale naval battle between the army of the Song Dynasty and the Mongolian army in Yashan in 1279 AD, and it was also a rare naval battle in ancient China.

Since this battle was directly related to the survival of the Southern Song Dynasty, it was also a decisive battle between the Song and Yuan dynasties.

The result of the war was that the Yuan army won more with less, and the Song army was completely annihilated. When the Southern Song Dynasty destroyed the country, Prime Minister Lu Xiufu committed suicide by throwing himself into the sea with the young emperor Zhao Yu on his back, and many loyal ministers followed him, and 100,000 soldiers and civilians jumped into the sea to die in the country.

After this battle, the Zhao and Song dynasties completely fell, which also meant the complete destruction of the remnants of the Southern Song Dynasty, and the Mongol and Yuan dynasties finally unified the whole of China.

For the first time, China was conquered by northern nomads.

The demise of the Southern Song Dynasty was definitely not a change of dynasty in a simple sense, but a loss of the country, marking the end of the classical era of China.

The Battle of Yashan caused a fault in the Chinese civilization that has been inherited for thousands of years, and its impact was far-reaching, continuing to this day, and the civilization form of the Ming and Qing dynasties was very different from before.

The fall of the Song Dynasty brought to naught China's attempt to transform from an agrarian empire to a commercial society. It was precisely because the Song Dynasty tried to abandon the form of a centralized agricultural empire that it continued to be militarily weak.

With the demise of the South, the process of China's independent development was interrupted, and the once highly developed economy, culture, science and technology, the bureaucratic system that combined the imperial examination with the world, the imperial power that began to be limited, the advanced political system, etc., were interrupted, and the Yuan Dynasty, which was ruled by the civilized and backward Mongols, began to implement a closed, conservative, light industry and commerce, and a more centralized system, and officially took Cheng Zhu Lixue as the main content of the imperial examination and the official ideology of the government; Later, the Ming Dynasty, which overthrew the Meng Yuan and established it, went to a conservative and closed road.

With such a far-reaching impact, it is destined that the Battle of Yashan will go down in history.

It's not hard to understand why Gaia chose to play this battle. Similarly, a so-called Battle of Yashan cannot shoulder the elements of an epic battle, and presumably Gaia will have something to consider.

Perhaps, the battle of Yashan in the game will be a re-enactment.

The exact situation will not be known until after the battle begins. Before that, it caused a certain amount of confusion to Ouyang Shuo and other lords, including the choice of faction and the choice of troops.

Or will Gaia set up a confrontational camp in this battle? It is still the same as the Battle of Mobei in the Western Han Dynasty, putting all the lords on the same camp.

Will the main battlefield be a land battle or a naval battle in history?

These uncertainties are destined to be a very interesting battle.
