The husband and wife have worked hard for most of their lives, and they can finally enjoy the joy of family.

On the third day after the wedding, Zhao Chongyang and the princess entered the palace to thank him, and played the emperor, they will take a group of guards to Shandong, Jiangnan and other places to tour the mountains and rivers, and then take a sea boat to go to sea, to the Nanyang countries to investigate, may take three or five years before returning to the Central Plains.

Zhao Ji asked the Internal Affairs Office to reward the two of them with a lot of silk and antiques, and at the same time gave 100,000 yuan as the princess's dowry.

On 20 May, Zhao Chongyang sent his parents out of Tokyo and asked them to return to Nanjing, where they would live at Zhaojia Wharf in Nanjing, which was safer.

Zhao Chongyang was gradually evacuating his base camp from Kaifeng, and orders were issued from here.

Chai Jin's task was to continue to lead a group of people to buy horses from Liao and Jin, and at the same time sell them inferior iron, liquor, tea, cloth, paper, and glass products from the Wantong Chamber of Commerce, so as to empty the money bags of the Liao and Jin people.

His subordinates included Chao Gai, Li Gon, Zhang Hu, Qiu Kui, and at the same time gave him three fierce generals, Yuan Lang, Li Kui and Duanmuxiu.

Their caravan was tentatively designated as the Beimao Caravan, with Chai Jin as the captain, Chao Gai and Yuan Lang as the deputy captains, and the rest as the captains. This is the first command.

Wang Dakuan is the general manager of Tokyo, Henan and Hebei, and is mainly responsible for trade and base security in the north. Bai Xiaohe, Shi Qian, Yan Qing, and Chen Dong are the deputies. Bai Xiaohe is in charge of commerce and trade, Shi Qian is in charge of intelligence work, and Yan Qing is in charge of Self-Defense Force training. Chen Dong is in charge of promoting and hosting the Tokyo Evening News.

Li Yun and Shi En went to Liangshan to participate in special training camp training, and returned to Tokyo three months later to accept the command of Shi Qian. At the same time, the money Xiaoan and his wife went north to assist Bai Xiaohe in his work. This is the second command.

The family members of the generals who were in Beijing were to move out of Tokyo and live on Shuibo Liangshan, Sado Island, or Xishan Island in Suzhou. All living expenses are distributed three times per capita per month, which are paid by the local chamber of commerce. This is the third command.

After several orders were issued, the formation of an advance force to the south began. Fang Tianjie was the governor of the southbound advance army, Zhu Wu was the deputy governor of the military division, Li Jun was the deputy governor and commander of the navy, and Zhang Shun and Nangong Yongjie were the deputy commanders of the navy. Shi Jin is the commander of the marines, and Ye Hongyan, Duan Qionghua, and Hu Tianfeng are the deputy commanders of the marines.

Pang Wanchun, Qiu Qionghu, Xie Zhen, and Xie Bao were the commanders of the special combat troops, and they jointly led the troops south and sent troops to Annan. In the early stage, there were 10,000 marines, 5,000 sailors, and 3,000 special warfare soldiers, a total of 18,000 soldiers. At the same time, more than 50 young and energetic Lang Zhong were recruited with high salaries, and An Daoquan, a small divine doctor, was the medical captain to form a medical team with the army.

In addition, there were more than 1,500 technical personnel of various kinds who set out with them in the fields of soap making, perfume making, paper making, winemaking, iron and steel making, iron-making, rice planting, pig raising, and opening restaurants and restaurants.

Six large seagoing vessels with a deadweight of 500 tons and 50 steamships with a deadweight of 20 tons were dispatched. Personnel and ships were transferred from Shuibo Liangshan, and then Jiangnan Shipyard supplemented them.

After everything was planned, Zhao Chongyang took Wang Dakuan and Yan Qing to meet the Eight Sages King again. Let them cooperate with each other to dig up the secret passages between the Tokyo base of the Wantong Chamber of Commerce and the Eight Princes' Mansion, the Zhuangyuan Building, and the Biyun Palace where Emperor Maode lives in the palace (after Zhao Fujin got married, he asked his father to keep the Biyun Palace for her, and she went to live when she returned to the palace), and in the future, in case the Jin soldiers broke the city, so as to transport the royal ladies in the palace out of the city to protect them. In order to avoid the tragedy of "the destruction of the golden branch".

In order to implement this matter, the princess entered the palace again and brought out the chief eunuch of Biyun Palace, and met with Wang Daping and Yan Qing. Zhao Chongyang handed them the dark passage map that he had surveyed and mapped with the knowledge of later generations, and asked them to excavate according to the marked direction and angle at that time, and they could not make a mistake in the direction.

……

On April 15, everything was ready, only the east wind was owed, Zhao Chongyang gave an order, and the governor of Fang Tianjie led the leading army to set sail in Jiaozhou Port in Shandong Province and set sail for the South Seas.

Li Jun accompanied the Gu family's sea ships not only to the South Seas, but also to Persia. Therefore, he knows very well where to add water to the shore along the way, sell necessary vegetables and daily necessities.

After a month, the fleet successfully reached Quanzhou. Li Jun went ashore and handed over the goods he brought to the Gu family. The Gu family is an important partner of the Wantong Chamber of Commerce, and the total trade volume between the two has approached 5 million yuan in recent years, and every year the Gu family has to send a fleet to the South Seas and Persia, and the goods of the Wantong Chamber of Commerce have made them a lot of money.

When the head of the Gu family heard that the fleet of the Wantong Chamber of Commerce had arrived in Quanzhou, he invited all the generals ashore as guests and held a banquet to entertain them. At the banquet, Old Man Gu heard that they were going to Annan to fight the world and establish a foothold in the country, so he made up his mind and sent his twenty-eight-year-old nephew Gu Xingye to bring 2,000 sailors and 20 ships to join the ranks of the advance army and serve Zhao Chongyang.

The next day, when Old Man Gu came to see off the fleet, he handed over Gu Xingye, 2,000 sailors and 20 ships to Fang Tianjie and Li Jun, saying that he was willing to help Xiao Hou Ye and support Xiao Hou to create a hundred foundations.

After discussing with Li Jun and Zhu Wu, Fang Tianjie said to the head of the Gu family, your nephew Gu Yingying and the two thousand sailors will be accepted on behalf of the little marquis, and as for the sea boats, we have enough, so we don't want them. "Don't worry about the old man, the main thing is that our boat runs fast, and ordinary sea ships can't keep up." Fang Tianjie added.

So, Fang Tianjie asked Gu Xingye to be the deputy commander of the navy, and together with Nangong Yongjie, he managed the steamship.

With the addition of the Gu family's 2,000 sailors, Fang Tianjie's advance army reached 20,000.

They rode the wave and continued to move forward. Along the way, there are endless sea views and endless sea wonders, but fortunately there was no typhoon, and after leaving Quanzhou for more than two months, I finally arrived safely in Da Nang, an important seaport city in the south of Annam......
