After ten days of sailing, in the early morning of this day, the fleet gradually arrived in Tanzhou, there are still 100 miles away from Tanzhou, the speed of the fleet slowed down, there are several large reefs under the water in the northwest of Tanzhou, it is very dangerous, you must be careful in navigating here, the safest way is to go after dawn.

At this time, the sky was not yet light, the dark blue sky was dotted with bright starlight, and the sea was dark and gloomy, and a faint cold light flickered.

With the rich experience of the boatmen, the fleet slowly traveled south along the outer side of Tanzhou, about 30 miles away from the shore of Tanzhou, bypassing the reef area and directly docking on the east side of Tanzhou.

At this moment, the soldier who was looking from the mast of the big ship suddenly pointed to the distance and shouted: "There seems to be a fire on the sea!" ”

Several soldiers hurriedly lay on the side of the boat to take a closer look, and sure enough, in the northwest direction, they saw a bright light flashing and flickering, very faint.

"There's a reef over there!" One of the crew whispered.

If there is a reef, the light is likely to be a boat that has hit the reef for help, and the general on duty immediately ordered to check it, a small boat was lowered into the sea, and a dozen soldiers rowed to the fire.

At this time, Fan Ning had just woken up from his deep sleep and was about to arrive in Tanzhou, and he didn't sleep very well, waking up half an hour earlier than usual.

Fanning put on his clothes and was about to go to the deck when there was a sharp knock on the door.

Fan Ning hurriedly stepped forward to open the door, there was a soldier outside, he bowed and saluted: "Something happened outside, General Liu asked the envoy to come over and take a look!" ”

"What happened?"

"Saved some people to come up, but these people are a little strange, and they can't say it clearly, so you can go and see it."

Fanning had doubts in his heart, and walked quickly to the deck, which was full of soldiers, and Fanning pushed everyone away and squeezed in.

I saw five or six young men sitting on the middle deck, wrapped in blankets, shivering from the cold.

"Who are they?" Fanning asked.

The commanding envoy Liu Ying hurriedly stepped forward and whispered to Fan Ning: "These people's boats were smashed by the reef, and they waved their fire sickles on the reef, which was seen by our soldiers and rescued them. ”

"Have you found out who they are?"

"They were Goryeo and claimed to be Goryeo merchants, but they were all dressed in military uniforms, and they suspected that they were Goryeo soldiers."

Fan Ning frowned slightly, he looked at a few people carefully, and found that they were not like businessmen, there were obvious traces of training, he was suspicious in his heart, and said to Liu Ying: "It doesn't hurt to interrogate them separately, and the means are ruthless!" ”

"Obey!"

Liu Ying waved his hand, and the soldiers took the five men down.

The sky was getting brighter, and the coastline of Tanzhou in the distance was faintly visible, and at this time, the results of the interrogation also came out.

Liu Ying walked quickly to Fan Ning and bowed down and said: "Qiyu envoy, sure enough, it is a spy sent by the Goryeo army, a total of ten people, who operated a hundred-stone boat to come to Tanzhou, the ship unfortunately hit the reef and sank, five people fell into the sea and disappeared, and the other five people climbed on the reef and were rescued. ”

"What are the spies going to Tanzhou to investigate?" Fanning continued to ask.

"The main thing is to check the number of garrisons and ships of the Song army in Tanzhou."

"What else is there?"

"In addition, there are more than 300 ships gathered in the Busan area, and listening to their descriptions, it is estimated that they are all about 500 stones, and they are mobilized from all over Goryeo."

Gathering a fleet and sending ships to investigate, it is obvious that Goryeo has a bad idea of Tanzhou.

This also confirms the judgment made when the Tamna Kingdom was taken in the first place, that Goryeo would not immediately find out that the Tamna Kingdom was occupied by the Great Song Dynasty, and if Goryeo wanted to recapture the Tamna Kingdom, it would be at least two years later, and now exactly two years have passed.

Fan Ning sneered in his heart, and then ordered: "The fleet is docked in Tanzhou!" ”

．．．．．．．

For example, the war horse could not endure the long-distance transportation for nearly a month, so it was placed in Tanzhou for foster care, and after recovering its vitality, it was transported from Tanzhou to the Song Dynasty, and Tanzhou also had a small pasture of dozens of miles, which was just suitable for foster care.

The other is the transfer of materials, a large number of substances are stored in Tanzhou first, and then gradually transported to Kunzhou.

The third function is trade transit, development and Japanese trade, the warehouse can be located in Tanzhou, and then according to the Japanese market demand to gradually ship.

It is to determine these three functions, so Tanzhou has not been as much as Kunzhou has been valued by the imperial court and developed greatly, but a lot of things have been done in the past two years, one is the establishment of Tanxian County, which is the original Tamna City, and even the city wall does not need to be built.

The second is the immigration of 500 families, mainly engaged in planting, including the cultivation of grain and the cultivation of citrus, Tanzhou is very suitable for the cultivation of citrus, it produces large citrus with thin skin and juicy, the sweetness is very good, has always been the annual tribute designated by Goryeo, can be transported to the capital as a specialty.

Another achievement of Tanzhou is the construction of two ports, one in the north of Tanxian and one in the southeast corner, both of which were built by using natural harbors.

Fanning's fleet sailed into the trade wind port in the southeast of Tanzhou, which is said to be the first place in Tanzhou to feel the southeast wind, so it is called the trade wind port.

It should be noted that Tanzhou is still completely dependent on the material transportation of the Great Song Dynasty to maintain its operation, unlike Kunzhou, through military reclamation, this year's grain has been completely self-sufficient, but can send a lot of resources and wealth to the Great Song Dynasty.

One by one, large ships slowly sailed into the bay and anchored, and the boats carrying the ponies also docked, and sent fifty ponies ashore to rest.

At noon, Zhang Yao, the general judge of Tanzhou, rode a horse to meet Fan Ning's arrival.

When considering the establishment of Tanzhou, there were two opinions, and many officials believed that Tanzhou was too small and had too little population to be suitable for the establishment of a state, and that it was enough to be a county and could be subordinated to Kunzhou.

However, another group of officials believed that the overseas situation was special and that the standards of the Great Song Dynasty could not be copied, and that special treatment should be given, and that Tanzhou and Kunzhou were far apart, and it was simply unrealistic to set Tanzhou as a county under the jurisdiction of Kunzhou.

Zhao Zhen, the Son of Heaven, adopted the latter plan and officially designated it as Tanzhou, but when setting up officials, he did not send a governor, but only appointed a general judge, and concurrently served as the county commander of Tanxian County, which is called the nominal state and the actual county.

Zhang Yao was about 30 years old, and he was also born as a Jinshi, one year earlier than Fan Ning, who was admitted to the imperial examination, and was originally Qingzhou Jimo Zhi County, because he sent an envoy to Goryeo, he was promoted to the general judge of Tanzhou and the county commander of Tanxian County, although the people under his jurisdiction were only 500 Han people and thousands of aborigines, but the official position went up, and he jumped from the eighth grade to the seventh grade.

"Welcome Fan Envoy Jun to Tanzhou, Fan Envoy Jun has worked hard all the way."

Although Fan Ning is the governor of Kunzhou, he is also the deputy envoy of overseas economic strategy, and he can be regarded as Zhang Yao's superior, but this kind of superior is not a direct subordinate relationship, but only a nominal superior.

Therefore, although Zhang Yao's attitude towards Fan Ning is very respectful, he does not have the deliberate flattery of his subordinates to his superiors, but is more polite.

Fan Ning also smiled: "I specially went to Beijing to report on my work, because I brought horses with me, so I need to spend a few days in Tanzhou, let the horses recuperate, and cause trouble to Zhang Tongju." ”

"Where! Where! Tanzhou is a transit place, and it is normal for Fan to make Jun come to rest. ”

Zhang Yao saw the fifty ponies on the dock again, and said in surprise: "These are the foals born in Kunzhou?" ”

Fan Ning smiled and nodded, "Exactly, I specially brought it to the officials and ministers of the imperial court to see, the officials have always been worried about it!" ”

Zhang Yao was overjoyed, Kunzhou has given birth to horses, and those ministers who have been criticizing overseas states for working hard and hurting money should also shut up, and Tanzhou will finally play its role as a transit place for war horses.

"Great, we've repaired the stables and set off a large pasture, just waiting for these little ones to come and move in!"

Zhang Yao hurriedly ordered his subordinates to take the shepherd to settle the horses.

At this time, Fan Ning said again: "There is one more thing, I want to talk to Zhang Tongju!" ”

"Envoy, please speak!"

Fanning recounted the encounter they had encountered on the road with the Goryeo spies.

How could Zhang Yao not understand what this meant, his face suddenly turned pale, and he said for a while: "Gao Li won't really attack the territory of the Great Song Dynasty!" ”

Fan Ning shook his head, "They don't dare to attack the Great Song Dynasty and give Goryeo a thousand dares, but it is difficult to say about an overseas island like Tanzhou, Goryeo has long been subservient to the Liao State, they can put the responsibility on the Liao State, saying that it is the order of the Liao State, and even that it is the Liao army that it was done, and it is impossible for the Great Song Dynasty to really launch a full-scale war against Goryeo for an island, and it is likely that they will suffer a dumb loss and give up Tanzhou." ”

Zhang Yao suddenly said hurriedly: "But there are only 1,000 garrisons in Tanzhou, if Goryeo attacks in a big way, how can we resist?" ”

Fan Ning said lightly: "I've already thought about it, so I just strike first, so that Gao Li will suffer a dumb loss, and I can't say anything about my suffering!" ”
