The ice in Bohai Bay will not melt until late February, and before that, Xiao Ming does not necessarily do nothing, and now Xiao Tzu Buye is deploying in the Tokyo area, and Xiao Ming came to Tokyo City in the name of inspection.

Tokyo City is the Liaoyang of later generations, here is the emperor's safari tent in the eastern Liaodong region, to the northwest is the vast Liaohe Plain, is the most serious area of animal husbandry degradation in Liao, but also one of the most developed areas of agriculture, otherwise Xiao Ming would not have found that big granary here.

To the northeast is the Changbai Mountain and the Songhua River Basin, mixed with the same river, the Dalu River and the Nashui River are also in this area, and this is the place where the Liao Dynasty royal fishing held the head fish feast, but these places are now the territory of the Jin Kingdom.

To the east of Tokyo is the Liaodong Peninsula, which is also the sphere of influence of the Bohai Kingdom and the Goryeo Kingdom, Xiao Tzu Buye sits in Tokyo and controls the entire Liaodong Peninsula, which is also one of the spheres of influence that Xiao Ming circled in his heart, he wants to build a protected area here, to put it bluntly, it is a special development zone!

The special development zone is what Xiao Ming learned from later generations, and in his mouth it is emphasized that it is a special zone, and he will set up his own independent kingdom within the land of the Great Liao State

If you want to establish a special zone here, you must first consider two forces, on the one hand, the power of the local Bohai State, but this side of the force has basically collapsed with the fall of Gao Yongchang, and on the other hand, the power of the Goryeo State east of the Yalu River on the eastern side of Changbai Mountain.

The year before, the king of Goryeo sent troops to attack the back road of the Jin state in order to cooperate with the military operations of the suzerain, the Great Liao State, which angered Wanyan Aguta, who personally led troops to attack the Korean Peninsula and besieged Kaesong and the capital Pyongyang, so the Goryeo Kingdom surrendered to the Jin State and called the minister Nagong.

After the withdrawal of the Jin State, he did not arrange his own army to garrison the Korean Peninsula, but the attitude of the Goryeo State was of great significance to Xiao Ming's establishment of his own special zone, and Xiao Ming did not want to have a vassal state of the Jin State behind his ass, ready to move at any time, or send troops for the new master.

The Kingdom of Goryeo was established after the fall of the Silla Dynasty, and has always proclaimed itself the king, and the Great Song and Han Dynasty interacted, adhering to Sinology and Confucianism, and the central government has the province of Inner History and Shangshudu, the six departments of officials, households, rites, soldiers, criminals, and workers, and nine temples such as Taichang, Taifu, Sinong, and Dali. The Central Council handles military and political secrets, the Imperial Historical Observatory is responsible for correcting bullets, and the three divisions are in charge of finance. In the military aspect, there are two armies and six guards, and peasants are conscripted as government soldiers, with military positions such as generals and generals.

The officials of the six ministries of the Goryeo royal family were called Munban, and the military attache was called Muban. The country is divided into ten provinces, and there are festivals to govern the military and the people. There are prefectures, counties, and counties under the province, and there are villages, townships, departments, and institutes below the county. Local officials at and above the county level are appointed by the central government, and township officials below the county level are elected by the local authorities. The village officials ruled directly over the people, but their status was low, and they had to be supervised by the central magistrates, and their children were sent to Beijing as hostages.

The purpose of his system was to prevent the officials sent by the central government from colluding with the local government to form separatist forces, and the current aristocracy in Goryeo did have local forces, among which the Kang, Park, Kim, Choi and Lee clans owned almost half of Goryeo's resources and land.

Today's King of Goryeo is called Yizong, but he is a fifteen-year-old boy named Li Minbo, and all the great affairs of the kingdom are controlled by Jiang Handan, the prince of Min, but Jiang Handan still respects Li Minbo very much, and discusses with him on many things.

In 1018, the Liao army invaded Goryeo for the third time and attacked Kaesong with 100,000 troops. Jiang Handan led the army and the people to respond to the battle, and the defense and attack used each other, cutting off the retreat of the Liao soldiers, attacking from both sides, annihilating most of them, and only a few thousand people fled back. After this fiasco, the Khitan did not dare to invade Goryeo again, and only made Goryeo a vassal state and allowed it to pay tribute six times a year.

After all, Kang Handan is old, and Park Yongqing, the lord of Taechangsa Temple, gradually rose with the support of the generals of the government army, and in order to deal with Park Yongqing, Kang Handan formed the royal guard Hwarang Army for Yizong, which is the origin of the two armies of Goryeo.

Xiao Ming sent an envoy to meet Wang Yizong of Goryeo, explaining that he was going to organize a defense line against Jin on the front line of Panjin and Dayingzikou, and hoped that Goryeo would send troops out of the front line of Tongzhou, and from the front line of Muzhou in Xuanzhou, Kaizhou, and Muzhou, and stationed troops there, nominally to prevent the invasion of the Liao army, but in fact to make a buffer between the Liao army and the Jin army.

After analyzing the current situation, Jiang Handan agreed to Xiao Ming's request, and sent the general Yin Qian to lead his troops out of the north of Xianjing to Kaiyuan City, and at the same time reported to the Jin State as a vassal state, saying that in order to prevent the Liao army from setting up troops in the east, he also secretly sent envoys to Yingzhou to participate in the Liao Emperor's Spring Bowl Conference.

With the cooperation of the Goryeo Kingdom, Xiao Ming began to start the construction of the Special Economic Zone in this area with confidence, and Xiao Ming unconditionally implemented Xiao Ming's instructions, which made Xiao Ming feel very satisfied.

First from Jinzhou to Dayingzikou, and then to Huludao, this area is some shallow reef area, but fishermen in the Liaodong area have seen a lot of fishing villages here, and even a large wharf, but in winter it will still be frozen, and at the top of the Liaodong Peninsula there is a good harbor.

There is a village called Dashunying, also called Shunkou Ying, this is the best ice-free port, facing the entire Yellow Sea, embracing Bohai Bay, Xiao Ming found out and exclaimed, "Isn't this Lushunkou?" ”

The discovery of Lushunkou is equivalent to the discovery of the naval base, and from this, Xiao Ming needs to smash it into it I don't know how much, but he doesn't care, there are taxes in the entire Liaodong region as support, and he has the right to do so, of course, when he has not yet made use of the coal and iron resources in the Panjin area of Jinzhou.

At that time, he doesn't have to go far to do business, just dump goods in Goryeo nearby, anyway, he doesn't have a good impression of these sticks, but the development of coal and iron resources here still needs manpower, where to find so many manpower? There were still tens of thousands of Jin soldiers in Shangjing, so the entire Jin soldiers in Shangjing went to Jinzhou and Panjin to work as miners.

At the same time, he transferred a large number of experienced miners and craftsmen from the Xuzhou Iron Mine, the purpose was to establish a branch of the Tianping Iron Works in the shortest possible time, as long as the production of a large amount of coal increased, just the money from selling winter fuel could offset the taxes of the entire region, not to mention that the construction funds could also be borrowed first.

Aiqili was quickly transferred to Jinzhou in the Liao State, and Xiao Ming planned to use the official seal of the Nanyuan Privy Envoy of the Great Liao State to issue bonds instead of the government, which was the same innovation, at least unthinkable at the time, the government was used as an underwriting agency, of course, Xiao Ming also allowed them to profit from it, as long as it was not too much.

And he has thought of the name of the debt roll, called: "Yasukuni Roll", in order to raise military expenses and fight with the Jin State, Ai Qili is here to plan and execute the operation of this matter, Xiao Ming does not plan to let the Yaxing Gang participate in this matter, he plans to do it alone, because after all, this is still a sideline.

In order to promote the sale of debt rolls, Xiao Ming deliberately let Xiao Tart's cavalry attack everywhere and drove away all the Jin soldiers entrenched in several nearby state capitals, which belonged to a small military operation.

There were also big actions, that is, to start recruiting troops, recruiting Han Chinese from Shandong and Bohai on the eastern peninsula of Liaodong as soldiers, and every time there was a small military operation, Xiao Ming strictly ordered the capture of prisoners, and those Jurchen prisoners who were captured were escorted down the street in despair, so that the people and gentry could see it, which undoubtedly increased their confidence, so they began to enthusiastically buy bonds.

Bonds are divided into three-year and five-year periods, the interest is three cents and five cents respectively, the full purchase is returned at maturity, and there are many discounts for buying, guaranteed in the name of the Privy Envoy of the Southern Court of the Great Liao Kingdom, and the Liaodong Jiedu Envoy of the Southern Mansion of Liunanfu, which is really a good choice for investment and financial management, and all this operation, Nanjing's Southern Yuan Liunanfu did not know at all.

The military action taken here through the promotion of bonds, the reaction of the Jin State was very helpless, and the state capitals where small troops were stationed in many places took the initiative to evacuate, and it seemed that they were very afraid of this legendary red eyebrow general, and the result was that the promotion bonds here easily recovered more than a dozen state capitals, which was really speechless.

With money, it is easy to do things, the whole Liaodong is currently very confident in Xiao Ming, Xiao Ming began to reduce taxes, greatly promote industry and commerce, and encourage the policy of farming, which is almost the same as the Han system in Yanbei, Nanjing, in terms of shape, and the people of the Southern Academy have no say about Xiao Ming, and many people believe that Xiao Ming is his own person.

The construction of roads is the focus of the Special Economic Zone, fortunately, the beach is around, a lot of sand is there, the Han craftsmen from Xuzhou immediately began to build the cement factory, once the cement is burned, immediately combined into concrete, with concrete to build the road is much faster, directly with prefabricated slabs to pave.

The workers not only used the soldiers, but also a large number of Jin soldiers were captured, not only let them dig mines but also let them build roads, and Xiao Ming also asked for the use of concrete cement to build the city wall, the nearest Jinzhou City, Tokyo and other cities were the first to be wrapped in cement concrete.

Soon in March, the ice in the entire Bohai Bay had completely melted, and when the first merchant ship of the Great Song Dynasty docked from Huludao, Xiao Ming suddenly had a strong desire to go to Shandong, and he also had to go to the port docks in Weihai, because Qian Baguang was in a hurry.

As usual, there are still more than 20 days to go on the day of the Spring Festival Bowl Conference, Xiao Ming is a hand-picked participant, and there is not much time left for him, Xiao Ming must seize this time to go to Weihai, so in the early morning, Xiao Ming took his tiger guard to board the refinery merchant ship called: "Gu's Treasure Ship" and set off.
