During the exhibition held in Youzhou, He Bida mobilized troops in the Fishing City to go south to collect and integrate local forces.

Xiao Xian and Zhang Zhongjian have been paying attention to the movements of the vanguard soldiers in the fishing city. After the spring plowing, the vanguard soldiers in the fishing city suddenly set off, which made them very nervous.

Fishing City and Nanjiang City sent 200,000 troops to the same time, all of which became the power of Youzhou. In a month, it had occupied most of the Lingnan area.

When Li Yuan and others from Chang'an learned the news, the entire Lingnan had been occupied by vanguard soldiers. It was easy to take time to gather all the people living in the local area.

They had already discussed before going to the war and had to ensure that all uneasiness factors were eliminated, especially the various forces in Lingnan.

He Bida's strategy is very simple to gather everyone together, because the most people in the local area are tribes. In order to complete the mission, the pioneer soldiers have prepared in advance to plan an area in the southernmost part of Lingnan.

He Bida let all the tribe migrate from the mountains, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses have been doing this.

The craftsmen of the Fishing City were also sent here early to carry out construction, and all the supplies were transported from the Fishing City Harbour.

There is a lot of money spent every day in Lingnan. War is like this. If you only think about plundering, the cost will be reduced a lot, but that is not what they want. Long-term stability is the most needed.

Just when the art exhibition was held in Chang'an City, the Lingnan area had become within the sphere of influence of Youzhou, and at the same time, the merchants also began their mission.

The roads were built from the Yucheng and Nanjiang City. The workshops in the two places built more than a dozen cement brick workshops in a short period of time, and a large amount of labor was recruited for a fee.

Especially the people in Nanjiang City are the most active. They have never encountered such remuneration and treatment as a salary of five cents a day and three meals.

Not to mention that there is meat in two meals. How many people can only eat these seemingly ordinary meals during the Chinese New Year. It would be strange if such treatment is not positive, and they will receive considerable rewards after the project is completed.

Hundreds of thousands of people in Nanjiang City responded to the situation of shortage of labor. The number of craftsmen in the Yucheng City was drawn was more. These experienced people were all responsible for the main supervision and management of various sections of the road, and the treatment was slightly better.

Li De was in the office of the city guard office and was watching the information sent back by Hong Mudan. The Lingnan strategy was progressing smoothly, but it took a long time to migrate all the tribes from the mountains.

A large number of people were recruited and labored, which directly saved the trouble of managing these people. The port planned in Lingnan was already under construction, and everything was carried out according to the plan.

Li De put down the news in his hand, stood up and looked at the area of ​​Liaobei and Lingnan that were clearly circled on the map on the wall, which was already in Youzhou's sphere of influence.

But there is still a large part of it, especially the North and South that they don’t want to connect, which makes him regretful.

There are many ways to break the current situation. The most direct way is to conquer with force, but the various forces in the Central Plains will definitely join forces when facing war. At that time, it is very likely that they will unite in the Tang Kingdom.

Or cooperate with Li Shimin more directly. To be honest, Li De does not want to turn the scattered forces into the hostile camp. If that happens, it will undoubtedly bring huge costs.

He wants to use a more effective method. Although fighting and killing is the fastest way to solve the problem, it also has great hidden dangers.

With the current victory of Youzhou's troops to attack the Central Plains is guaranteed, but if you want to occupy it, you need to divide the troops. At that time, the increase in defense will give Tang a chance to take advantage of it.

At this time, we must seek stability, not to mention that it will take a long time to completely control the Lingnan region.

"Grandmaster, the latest news comes from the Fishing City."

"Let go."

Li De first looked at the map on the wall for a while before opening the letter. It contained news from the Fishing City. The first dock had been built and met the shipbuilding conditions.

According to the dock's plan, we will start to build new warships next. This is good news. The large-scale application of new docks to steam power can increase work efficiency and save shipbuilding time.

In order to build such a dock, only Li De and the person in charge of the Blacksmith Workshop know that the equipment invested is much more expensive than the construction of the dock itself.

A large amount of steam engineering equipment not only costs but also takes up a large amount of iron ore resources.

Next, we must give full play to the advantages of the new dock.

"Buy money and build a powerful fleet."

Li De had already imagined the power of this fleet. Once a fleet with carrier-based artillery appeared, all those who are enemies of Youzhou would feel the terror.

"What, the vanguard troops occupied Lingnan, why was it so suddenly?"

Li Yuan couldn't sit still after receiving the news. Originally, the power of Youzhou was very large, which was not as good as that of the Tang Kingdom. Now that the Lingnan area has become the power of Youzhou, will it take action against them next?

As the Emperor of Tang, the first thing he cared about was naturally a threat to the throne. If there was anyone in the world who could threaten his throne, only Li De from Youzhou would be the only one in Youzhou.

Two days ago, he was thinking about how to make the painters of the Tang Kingdom famous at the Youzhou painting exhibition, but such news would be heard at this time.

Thinking about the contents of the newspapers in Youzhou before, I immediately figured out why, and tried to cover up and divert everyone's attention.

Li Yuan slapped the table in front of him hard, and his anger was rushing upwards. The development of Tang Kingdom was slow, and the current development of combat power could not keep up with his second son.

Now that I think about Youzhou suddenly having such a big move, he should have thought of the Nanjiang City.

With Li De's character, it is impossible to give up any interests. Nanjiang City is far away from Youzhou. Now, it directly occupied the Lingnan area, connecting the Nanjiang City, the Fishing City and the Lingnan area into an area.

I believe that only after giving Li De a few years, another Youzhou city may be added in the south. It is difficult to deal with Youzhou at present, and a second one will appear now.

Li Yuan suddenly felt that he was very tired as an emperor. He also wanted to occupy more areas. In that case, he had to start a war mode and constantly fight. However, in this way, he had to face the first of all the forces.

Then Li Yuan was anxious that several confidant ministers went to the palace to discuss matters. At this time, Li Jiancheng was also discussing with Xue Wanche.

The power of Youzhou expanded. After Li Jiancheng got the news, he knew that the situation in the world might be broken at any time due to the imbalance of the strength of each of the two abilities.

What he has to do at this time.

"The time has come for His Highness to obtain the position of Prince."

Xue Wanche was very happy when he learned the news. In his opinion, this was not only a chance for Li Jiancheng but also a chance for Tang Kingdom.
