After more than ten days of sea voyage, Li Yuxuan and his party finally arrived at the seaside town of Amy in Fengxiang, which is a town with only more than 1,000 people, and the people in the town have never seen a warship like the "Chasing the Wind", and there was a lot of discussion for a while. But when the local chief executive received a handsome port fee, all talk disappeared, and the "Chasing the Wind" docked at the town's dock.

As soon as they set foot on the solid ground, Li Yuyang and the others were overjoyed, and these warriors on horseback were terrified of sailing. Sailing on the endless sea, there is no sense of solidity, and I really can't figure out how Zheng Ru and his subordinates determine the course in this environment. Seeing Zheng Ru and other subordinates living and indulging in songs on the sea, Li Yuyang and the other soldiers on land were puzzled. For them, prancing across the earth may be the most desirable thing in life. But Zheng Ru and the others believe that sailing in the vast sea and exploring the unknowable voyage is the meaning of life. They are men who belong to the sea and to the earth.

The boundless and clear blue water, the same refreshing and bright sky, and the fresh and slightly salty sea breeze all made Li Yuxuan fully appreciate the vast mind and bold temperament of the sea.

I still remember a little story about Zheng Ru sue sù herself.

It was a clear morning, and I stood alone on the bow of the boat, looking out at the sea, which seemed to have become a habit I had developed on the boat these days.

Zheng Ru just got out of the cabin.

Staring at Li Yuxuan's proud back, he also walked to his side and stood still.

"What a vast sea, what a broad mind!" Li Yuxuan sighed at the sea in front of him.

A huge wave hit up, and Zheng Ru stretched out a hand and splashed a drop of seawater on his middle finger.

"This is also the sea, the vast is the sea, and the small is also the sea, this is what my father sued me!"

"Where is your father?

"When I was five years old, I went out to sea to fish, met with a storm, and left!"

"Then why do you still like the sea?"

"Because of its all-encompassing, because of its breadth, and because of its smallness!"

Zheng Ru stared at the sea. At that moment, Li Yuxuan saw a deep love in the eyes of this seventeen-year-old boy.

Broad-mindedness, which should also be a quality that a monarch should have. It is because of this trip to the sea that Li Yuxuan's original domineering spirit seems to be less, and a peaceful and majestic kingly aura seems to have begun to appear.

In the early morning of the second day when everyone arrived at Amy, Li Yuxuan and his party of fourteen rode to the west, accompanied by a carriage, in which no one was ridden, only five boxes containing gold coins.

The rising sun casts light on Amy's dock through the sails of the "Chasing the Wind", and after seeing Li Yuxuan and his party leave, Zheng Ru will also return to Bahrain in the "Chasing the Wind", while the other latest fast warship is now rushing south. Of course, after some transformation by Zheng Jing, the ship is definitely just an ordinary merchant ship from the outside.

After ten days of arduous travel, Li Yuxuan and the others finally saw the tall city walls of Fengcheng, the capital of the Fengxiang Kingdom, in early April. In the past ten days, Li Yuxuan has experienced Fengxiang's special human geography along the way, which can be described as an eye-opener. Although there are no big rivers like Luoshui, there are many tributaries, so that the land is well irrigated, and the warm monsoon wind blowing from the sea every year provides a good environment for the growth of plants. There are rivers and plains everywhere, and although the area is small, it is very suitable for the growth of crops, and this is the largest grain production base except for the Nakheewon Plain.

And because of the interconnectedness of the water systems, the country's waterway transportation is quite developed, which greatly promotes the development of commerce. In short, the country of Fengxiang is indeed a prosperous and powerful country that concentrates the right time, place and people. It is no wonder that Fengxiang's population is the largest in the south, and even the powerful country of the north, Tiermu, cannot be compared with Zhunger.

Although Li Yuxuan always believed that Kefield was indeed the strongest capital in the southern part of the continent as others said, after seeing the moat of more than ten meters wide and the city wall of Fengcheng, the capital of Fengxiang, Li Yuxuan once again realized the prosperity of the country with the longest history in the southern continent.

Fengcheng is most famous for its Fengfei Lake, a lake within the city, completely artificial, that draws water from the Nile River outside the city, and the water from the moat outside the city is also brought into the city through the Guò underground canal, and the water from the moat outside the city is also brought in through the Nile River. Therefore, if the city is attacked by conventional means, it is quite a tricky problem to fill the moat of Fengcheng.

There are many places of interest around Fengfei Lake, and the commercial street on the west bank of the lake is even more lively. Unlike Kefield, Fengcheng divides the city into several blocks. Except for the royal palace in the center of the city, which is forbidden to ordinary people to enter, the rest of the city is open. There was no division between residential and commercial areas, so many princes and nobles built their mansions in the market, and many families could buy and sell things when they went out. The shoe island in the middle of Fengfei Lake is even more famous all over the world, on this small island of only one square kilometer, many oriental style pavilions and pavilions have been built, which has a unique charm. It is rumored that there was an emperor in Tianlong who visited here and lingered, leaving behind the ink treasure of "the East Building is the best in the world". The island's "East Building" has also become famous, and many wealthy merchants gather here to taste authentic oriental dishes made by oriental chefs.

There is also a unique place in Fengcheng, that is, the "Fengyue Treasure" located on the east bank of Fengfei Lake. In fact, this is a place of fireworks, bringing together many famous prostitutes on the mainland. In the south of the mainland, there is a saying of "South Jianbei Town". "South" refers to the "Fengyue Baojian" in Fengcheng, and "North Town" refers to the town of Denuo in Luopingyuan. Both are famous fireworks gathering places on the mainland. If you talk about the difference between the two, "North Town" is a Western style, mostly a bold and enthusiastic Western charm. The "Southern Border" is an elegant, gorgeous and graceful atmosphere that advocates the Orient. Therefore, the "North Town" is mostly a place for giants and others, while the "South Border" is mostly a place for literati and scholars to gather.

In fact, it can also be seen that the differences between the two cultures and folk customs.

Fengxiang has a kind of elegance, advocating poetry and articles, and has a deep cultural heritage and a strong oriental color. Carol, on the other hand, is a little more wild, advocating martial arts, which is a typical western style.

The charm of the East is rigid and soft, and the needles are hidden in the cotton, while the West is more rigid and less flexible. In fact, Eastern culture is already a fairly complete system, profound and vast, and by no means comparable to Western culture with a history of only hundreds of years. However, many people nowadays pay too much attention to the external elegance and softness of oriental culture, and ignore its true connotation.

And now the Fengxiang Kingdom is obviously more feminine and less masculine, and all the big and small officials are addicted to articles and songs all day long, no wonder with such national strength, there are still no effective policies to the outside world. If it weren't for the current military affairs Shangshu Feng Shaojun strongly advocating external expansion, it may be that Fengxiang is still addicted to this song mountain wine sea and does not want to forge ahead.

Now that Feng Shaojun has conquered part of Carol's territory, there are many princes and ministers who are talking irritably in front of the current King Fengxiang, saying that Feng Shaojun is arrogant, reckless, and hostile to various countries. So, five days ago, King Fengxiang ordered the military affairs secretary Feng Shaojun, who was still on the front line, to return to China to report on his work.

In fact, the current King of Fengxiang, Jiang Wen, is just a king of Anle, and his father only has a son like him. So, there is no doubt that such a powerful country was placed in the hands of such a cowardly monarch. To everyone's astonishment, the king's first order on the throne was to recruit a hundred skilled craftsmen from all over the country to help him build a flying machine. Such an absurd and whimsical act made many ministers laugh and cry.

is such a king who has no intention of state affairs and only wants to have fun, and has sat on this throne for a full eleven years. But there is one thing that is also appreciated by many nobles, who are very playful, but never out of line, and are quite lenient with his subordinates. In the past eleven years, no nobleman has been punished, and the king's mantra is: "If you make a mistake, you can correct it!"

But for Feng Shaojun, a general who holds military power, he thinks that he is the monarch like this, and he doesn't want to have the opportunity to make contributions on the battlefield in this life. As a result, many of the talented generals returned to their hometowns and spent their days idle, just like their kings. Many young and promising generals have taken refuge under Feng Shaojun's banner. In less than a few years, the entire Fengxiang court situation was divided into two factions, one faction headed by Prime Minister Jiang He, and the other faction headed by the military affairs secretary Feng Shaojun.

All along, the lord and faction were supported by the majority of nobles and had always had the upper hand in the government. However, this time Feng Shaojun's northern expedition expanded a huge territory for the kingdom, and the main battle faction was greatly invigorated, and it had the potential to overwhelm the main and faction. In the face of such a form, the Lord and the faction are also helpless. But recently, after some secret channels and some news that shook the foundation of the Lord and the faction reached the ears of Prime Minister Jiang He, he and the elders of the Lord and the faction could no longer sit still, and jumped out one after another to ask the king to transfer Feng Shaojun back from the front line. In this way, there is an official document from the king five days ago that the king summoned the young monarch to return to China to report on his work.
