Chapter 286 The Roaring "Gentleman"

Wan Qi Yong waved his hand to ask the Vietnamese to retreat, and while packing the documents, he introduced to Shuai Fan: "Those who are not Vietnamese, but from Jinlan City. You led 5,000 locals to attack the King City, but later, the 5,000 locals who followed you all made a fortune. Now, they have all been granted official positions for their merits and become minor officials of Jinlan, and they have also helped us control the entire territory of Jinlan..."

Wan Qi Yong shook the several edicts and continued: "My lord is to ask Jinlan City to come forward to sign a document with us, allowing our Guangnan Navy to use Jinlan City as a garrison... Well, Mr. said this is called the "Lease Act".

The bill stipulates that Jinlan City rents its harbor to us at the cost of ten gold coins per year and is responsible for supporting our garrison costs, while our soldiers are responsible for protecting Jinlan City, maintaining local public security and order, and military security... They submitted documents on behalf of Jinlan City, which is a contract that has just been signed. Are you looking for an adult? I will also go, and just ask an adult to stamp the document."

The handsome fan rolled his eyes at Wanqi Yong.

The Jinlan people in Champa "made" military achievements. What military achievements? They just followed the Song army to the royal city. Afterwards, each of them enjoyed the treatment of the Song army and took away treasures of equal weight from the royal city. After this incident, the local soldiers were labeled with a strong Song people and had to stand with the Song army and try their best to maintain the surrender of the local people.

Recently, the Guangnan Navy has begun to withdraw troops from Jinlan City, which was the former Bintong City, and only one hundred Song troops were left in the local area to maintain nominal deterrence. Song merchants under the Nanyang Alliance moved in immediately, and they hired the local 5,000 soldiers who participated in the looting of the royal city to maintain order. Later, Zhao Xing sent several students and a group of Israel to plan and manage the industry of Jinlan City for him. Now he has come to this "Lease Act".

After following Zhao Xing for a long time, Shuai Fan already understood Zhao Xing's conspiracy. He mentioned the matters in Guangnan to the court, using the court to restrain Vietnam. Now, the "Lease Act" is to use Guangnan's military force to restrain the local people in Jinlan City, and at the same time deterred Vietnam. After layers of checks and balances, the Vietnamese had to worry about the Song Dynasty forces behind Zhao Xing and did not dare to get involved in things south of Jinlan.

Nowadays, the situation in Chameng is extremely good for the Song Dynasty. It has been five months since Chameng destroyed the country. In these five months, Zhao Xing has successfully eliminated the resentment of the people in Jinlan. The main reason for this phenomenon is Vietnam. Vietnam has a feud with Chameng. After destroying Chameng, Vietnam spared no effort to implement a genocide-style retaliation policy. They packaged and sold Chameng people in the whole village as slaves, and then moved the Vietnamese into the homes of the former Chameng people, and began to farm. They enjoyed the fertile land.

Under this situation, the area south of Jinlan, which ruled relatively gently, became the only way for Chameng people to live. They traveled through the dense forest with their families and traveled to the southern part of Jinlan, and then settled down in the local area. Their arrival spread the atrocities in Vietnam throughout Jinlan. In contrast, the people living in Jinlan were grateful.

After Zhao Xing occupied the southern part of Jinlan, due to insufficient manpower preparations, his rule over the southern part of Jinlan still relied on the 5,000 Chameng soldiers. Because this was an overseas enclave, Zhao Xing only wanted to move the headquarters of the Nanyang Alliance to Jinlan, so that the commercial alliance would be like the East India Company in the future. Then the huge profits brought by monopoly became his weapon to conquer the Nanyang territory. After all, the Nanyang Alliance was a commercial alliance, and he would not do anything that was not profitable, and he would not do anything that was too costly. Then the rich profits brought by trade, they did not expect to collect several copper plate land taxes from the farmers. As a result, the Chameng people who fled to the southern part of Jinlan lived more relaxed and comfortable than under the rule of the former Chameng king - because they did not pay any heavy taxes.

Since then, although there were some stubborn nostalgic people among the Chameng people, no matter how good Zhao Xing treats them, they still miss the era of the king's rule. However, even these resentful people have to be in awe of the Chinese nation for thousands of years. As Zhao Xing spared no effort to promote the psychological warfare of cultural radiation, those most stubborn people gradually weakened their minds of resistance, and only dared to complain that people's hearts were not as good as the king died and the country was destroyed, and there were not many martyrs.

At the same time, after this battle, the white vassal merchants who were still staying in Guangzhou affirmed that Zhao Xing had the ability to escort the armed. Their current minds were shifting to seeking the African route in Zhao Xing's hands. Some people kept urging Zhao Xing to officially enter the Indian Ocean, while others were secretly contacting each other, preparing to raise funds to buy the navigation chart in Zhao Xing's hands.

Under such a good situation, Guangdong officials began to pursue elegant Song-style banquets. Wan Qi Yong and Shuai Fan walked and chatted easily while music in the front yard and drinking. When they walked into the back yard, they saw Zhao Xing cutting grass with a bare shirtless. He saw his confidant coming over, and only paused for a moment, his eyes swept over the file in Wan Qi Yong's hand, nodded slightly, and made a gesture, indicating that the two of them would wait a moment, pack up the chopped hay, and carried it to the horse shed.

Zhao Xing was willing to do such a low-key battle, but the two aides had no intention of helping him. Wan Qi Yong waved the file, Shuai Fan hugged his arms, and said slowly: "If the people of Chameng Country know that the adults are free to feed their horses now... Well, those people in the court knew that the adults had free time to take care of the mount, they didn't know what to think."

Zhao Xing slapped the broken grass on his body and walked out of the horse hangar. He took the file from Wan Qi Yong, turned over a few pages, and returned the file to Wan Qi Yong, and ordered: "We have forgotten one thing about Jinlan..."

After a moment of pause, Zhao Xing said word by word: "Religion! The King of Chameng believes in Hinduism because the polytheistic religion of Buddhism, the invasion of the single theological religion - Islam, seemed unable to do so, so they launched their own new theological religion: Lord Shiva.

We also want to erect our own religion. You inform An Sida and ask him to send some disciples to build temples in the southern part of Chameng. He told him that I would build a grand bell tower in every town, build a Confucius Temple, use our former state religion, and use our cultural advantages to completely conquer that land. I want them to convince themselves and make them identify with their identity as the Song people..."

Wan Qi Yong nodded: "Zhang Yu hasn't left yet. The boat he made will only get anchor tomorrow morning. Now I'm sending people to go there. I still have time. Let Zhang Yu's local entourage bring a letter to An Sida and ask him to send some disciples."

"At least one thousand!" Zhao Xing lion opened his mouth wide, he clapped his hands and asked Wan Qi Yong again: "How are the Kunlun slaves in Chameng Kingdom?"

Zhao Xing used a traditional word "Kunlun slave" to replace the people of Chameng. Wan Qi Yong understood it and immediately said: "It has been identified. The Great Yue Kingdom is really cruel. Among them, there are 110,000 Kunlun slaves who are sold to us. Among them, there are 30,000 who know stone construction, and among the remaining people, there are 30,000 who know other techniques. Even those who make Tianzhu Steel (Wuzi Steel). If you are outside them, you are a farmer."

Zhao Xing nodded: "Hurry up and all the prefectures and counties are going to renovate the official houses. They plan to replace all the official houses with stones for land. They will build a few more glass windows. Just so, this batch of labor has saved us money. The remaining people are sold to various workshops, so that our soldiers participating in the war will pick them first. Kunlun slaves who only know how to do farm work. Let them help road construction workers farm. Guangnan has a small population, which can solve the big problem immediately."

None of the three people mentioned the money. In fact, after Zhao Xing misvalued the first batch of treasures sent to Bianliang, he immediately adjusted his strategy after receiving the news. He had hidden 60% of the remaining treasures. He planned to spend all of this money in Guangnan to improve the infrastructure construction of the entire Guangdong and Guangxi.

Now Zhao Xing is not short of money, but lacks land is manpower. Shuai Fan can also feel the lack of manpower. He looked at Wan Qi Yong, then looked around, and said quietly: "Sir, after this expedition, the Yi people in Guangxi were very enthusiastic in joining the army, and many servants came to Guangdong to apply for the expedition. Now our Yi army is not short of soldiers, but Guangdong is now prosperous. The good families of the Han people are even more reluctant to join the army...Sir. Can you support some troops from other places, such as Huqianshan..."

The word "Hufengshan" was mentioned. Zhao Xing's muscles jumped slightly, and Wan Qi Yong turned his face and pretended to appreciate the scenery in the yard. Shuai Fan knew that he had touched Zhao Xing's taboo, so he held his breath and waited for an answer.

Zhao Xing asked slowly: "Who else knows?"

Shuai Fan answered very readily: "Sir, we are following you in Yangzhou. Although we don't know the specific content, a strong army appears around us from time to time and disappears in an instant. These people need documents through the state and the county. In the past few years, if we can't even notice this, wouldn't we be blind?

Don't worry, sir, we just vaguely guessed this matter. Those soldiers were led by me, and they could guess at some of them in their conversation, but outsiders would definitely not know... Humph, what if outsiders know about this now?"

Zhao Xing glanced at Wan Qi Yong, and Wan Qi Yong nodded slightly, but his head turned aside, pretending not to hear what had just happened, and his head lowered was purely subconscious.

Zhao Xing's eyes turned back, observing Shuai Fan's expression, Shuai Fan nodded, his eyes firmly.

"Okay, I didn't want to hide this from you, after all, you are people around me - but the soldiers in Huqianshan cannot move, especially after the Battle of Chameng, I felt more and more that the troops in Huqianshan could not be used.

To be honest, there are now 2,400 Huai Yongs in Hulishan, all of which are musketeers. That barren mountainous area can only support such a few people, and if there are too many, it will probably be discovered by others.

This force is used by me to deal with the chaos in the north. So it cannot be used easily. First, two thousand soldiers are not very useful, and second, the situation in the north is becoming more and more dangerous. For example, this year, the Xia soldiers captured Huizhou or were captured in the spring. What does this mean - meaning occupation.

In autumn, the fall of the city means a battle of plunder. Because in autumn, things are collected into warehouses or transported and sealed. Although they have a lot of harvest after victory, if you want to occupy this place, you have to wait for the spring plowing next year. But spring occupation is different. In that year, people can be transferred from the rear to farm. If the wheat in the fields is planted, half a year has passed. The farmers who own the land will fight to the death to defend their harvest, and it will be difficult to regain that land.

With the speed of the court's reaction, Huizhou fell this year and it would take next year to arrange a counterattack. At this time, the Xixia people had already cultivated on that land for a year and implemented administrative management for a year. Therefore, the local people in Huizhou were no longer in the court. If we want to regain that land, even if we win, we will have to spend a lot of effort to appease the people on that land.

The people of Xixia were engaging in policies to erode the land of the Song Dynasty bit by bit, while the people of Liao in the north were already hit by the economic policies of Mizhou to the point of ruin. At present, the Liao Kingdom was the northern barrier, so it would be better for our Song Dynasty. But what if a more cruel force emerged again in the northern grasslands?

This time when I was expeditioning to Chameng, I chose strong and strong barbarians. These barbarians were very accustomed to jungle life, but the non-combat reduction was still above 15%. What if the people who went to fight this time were not the barbarians in the south, but the Huai people in the north, Shandong people, Hebei people, and Qin people, what should I do?

The northerners transfer to the south. If you fight this battle, you will definitely suffer a great loss. So what will happen if the southerners transfer to the north? The southerners are short and when they meet tall people, they all ride war horses. In addition, the north is dry and the weather is cold at night. Can the southerners adapt to the battle in the north?

Therefore, the people of Huai cannot transfer south, and those 2,400 people are my last reliance on guard against the chaos in the north. Now, the court is still relying on Zhang Yu. What about the descendants of Zhang Yu? After him, if there is chaos in the north, we can only transfer us. What do we rely on? Relying on those imperial guards - a group of "armed actors"; the wing army - a group of farmers.

Facing the cavalry in the north, we can only rely on those 2,400 people, and these people cannot be transferred to the south. Our only way is to dig out local resources."

After Zhao Xing said that, he clapped his fingers and pointed at Guangxi, saying, "There are still soldiers in Guangxi. I checked Guo Kui's books. When he attacked Vietnam, there were 30,000 to 40,000 private troops in Guangxi, and these private troops belonged to the rich village leaders of Guangxi. Guo Kui was fighting fiercely in the front, but he could not mobilize these private troops in Guangxi. But we are different. We can squeeze out at least 10,000 people and land.

Didn’t the Supervisor just say that there are many servants coming in Guangxi - they are recruiting them all, and they are all incorporated into the wing army, and they are asked to supervise slaves to build roads. They are given the best treatment. They are coveted by others and squeeze out all servants of the village master... Next, we will issue a cancellation of the private military order in Guangdong...

Also, I plan to issue the "Contract Law" again, stating that Guangnan East Road will respect the sacred contract according to the Emperor and Song Dynasty's criminal system... In addition, we must reiterate the sacred property rights and tell the people that if you hand over the private army, I will protect your property - private property is sacred and inviolable, and I will never allow anyone to invade other people's property, even the government."

In this era, Zhao Xing took advantage of the situation to introduce these two laws. Although they were local methods, there were no obstacles to the times. Because this was the best era, it was only one step away from the universal laws of modern civilization. Because the Song Dynasty respected property and contracts in ancient China was rare in ancient China. For example, because Lu Huiqing was strong, he could only stare at him after the ticket shop refused to pay a loan; for example, because Zhang Dun's ruthlessness occupied the farmer's land and was sued for the imperial court, he could only swallow and froth and endure the punishment of the court.

Therefore, the two present seemed calm about Zhao Xing's proposal, and Wan Qi Yong also keenly discovered the key points: "Yes, recently, some overseas merchants have been stranded overseas to the Richmond Office to inquire about settlement. The adults have introduced this strategy to allow them to settle in Guangdong with peace of mind. This is a local policy. As long as they settle in Guangnan, we will protect his property. In this way, do they have other choices - they can only settle in Guangdong."

Shuai Fan clapped his hands and said, "It's not bad. Those businessmen stranded overseas are rich. They have accumulated savings over the years, have a lot of money, and have all had a skill. They come to us with money and technology. As long as we promise to protect their property, they settle here, open factories and workshops, recruit workers and pay taxes... It's hard for me to be rich in Guangdong."

Zhao Xing has always been accustomed to swaying carrots to lure others into his party. After this instruction was issued, the first one to jump out was Guangxi. With the huge number of overseas stranded Song merchants returning to their country and choosing to settle in Guangdong, Zhang Tian jumped out and announced that Guangxi followed Guangdong, and after he followed Guangdong, he also implemented the "Contract Law" and the "Property Protection Law". Then, major coastal prefectures and counties also woke up. They shouted at the top of their lungs that allowed overseas Song merchants to settle in their province...

Since then, the restrictions on Song commerce overseas during the Song Dynasty have been in name only.

At that time, these two policies had not shown their power in other aspects. Most officials only guessed that this was a means for Zhao Xing to attract funds and wealthy businessmen. Many years later, when Song Huizong began to search for Hua Shi Gang, everyone realized that they had a weapon in their hands to deal with this kind of property encroachment...

At that time, Wanqi Yong and Shuai Fan did not notice the arrangement hidden deep in Zhao Xing's heart. Shuai Fan only focused on military issues and urged: "Sir, those vassal merchants really couldn't wait. Besides, when we built roads, the asphalt needed to be transported from Shaanxi. The quantity was small and the price was expensive. The new road was simply gold to hit the land. Didn't you say that there were oil mines in Nanyang?

Transport and transport goods. A horse can only carry 200 kilograms of things, but a boat can hold a thousand pieces of materials. Horses have to eat grass, but the boat doesn’t need them. If there are oil mines in Nanyang, the asphalt we use for paving roads will be much cheaper."

Zhao Xing slapped his thigh and said, "Why did I forget this? By the way, Boni, we should go to Boni. In the Battle of Champa, the navy won a small victory. It is really not worth being proud of, because they did not go through cruel battles at all. I want to lead them to Boni to go around, let them train "sea coordination" and "fleet firepower".

Supervisor. This time you stay, quickly organize our wing army and gunmen to supervise the road construction. I personally lead the team to Nanyang for a walk..."

At this time, in the banquet hall in front, the singing and dancing were getting louder and louder, and there were still bursts of cheers in the middle.

Zhao Xing's family team is famous in Guangzhou because he has the training of Liao Xiaoxiao and Kasili. This piece of silk tube is the top in Guangdong. Amid the faint sound of elegant music, three people in the backyard are talking about the killing gentlely, and no one is surprised by the scene.

This is July 1096.

This month is not a memorable day, because most historians in later generations simply evaluated Zhao Xing's actions as a war of revenge or a demonstration by force.

Previously, Zhao Xing and Jiaozhi joined forces to destroy Chameng. They all agreed that this was the repeated attacks of the pirates of Chameng Kingdom, which made this tyrannical official who had always claimed to be "unable to provoke" accidentally enter Chameng Kingdom during the counterattack. He happened to encounter Jiaozhi's revenge, and ended up losing luck. He actually exterminated a dynasty that had survived for thousands of years...

As for why Jiaozhi and Zhao Xing jointly sent troops, it is easy to understand. One of Zhao Xing's wives is a Jiaozhi person. The husband was repeatedly angry. The Song Dynasty was slow to react, and his wife jumped out to vent her anger for her husband and sent his family soldiers from other countries to fight... It was not a big deal.

The court reaction of the Song Dynasty also seemed to prove this. In the following years, they intermittently allocated compensation funds to Guangnan East Road under various names - of course, they asked for more taxes from Guangdong. These compensation funds were used to compensate Song Shanghai Trade and Trade Loss. Later, Zhao Xing used this money to run the world's first insurance company: Guangnan Hai Trade Insurance Department.

The King of Bintong also gave him generous treatment. In the Song Dynasty, the prince was only equivalent to a city lord. However, the Song Dynasty used the prince's treatment to honor him and his family for life. The court did not routinely "prove prisoners of Taimiao" to him, a prisoner. This shows that the Song Dynasty was still a gentleman and did not expect to destroy the other party's country. It was just because the other party was attacked by Jiaozhi and the country was destroyed. Because he had no way back, he worshipped him.

Regarding Zhao Xing's subsequent actions of sending troops to Boni this year, the gentleman of the Song Dynasty had more geographical reasons to prove that this was by no means the beginning of the expansion of the Song Dynasty...

"I'm here to do business," Zhao Xing held a teacup and looked at the Boni Country officials who came to greet him with a smile. When he said this, the rumbling sound of cannons seemed to be annotating his words. Zhao Xing only paused for a moment, listened to the sound of cannons, and immediately scolded: "I'm stupid, is there anyone who fires like this? How should artillery fire be used? How many times have I told you that it has direct firepower, deterrent firepower, attack firepower, and clamping firepower... I asked you to fire it out to clamp the firepower, why did you directly hit the ship?"

The official of Boni Country looked embarrassed and interrupted, "Sir, you came from Song State and attacked our fishing boats all the way, but you said you were here to do business. Are you planning to pay with flames and steel?"

Zhao Xing nodded apologetically, signaled the other party to wait, and then turned around and scolded the naval officials around him: "What does it mean to suppress firepower? It is to ask one shot to hit the ship in front of the ship and one shot behind the ship, and use artillery fire to block the opponent's actions - in other words, you must not be able to hit this shell accurately!

Sir, wait for me to finish the training of these fools - they are really a bunch of fools. Every time I tell them not to be accurate, they all attack the fire.

It's all money. Do you know what material is made of that canoe, mahogany, mahogany. Such a canoe must choose a two hundred-year-old tree, burn out the cabin in the middle with fire, and then plan... a hundred-year-old mahogany can be sold for more than ten million yuan when used for furniture. You can break it all in one shot.

Do my ground shells cost money? Do my gunpowder cost money? Is my prodigal son? Tell them not to hit the ground too accurately.”

After scolding his officials, Zhao Xing raised his head and looked at the officials of Boni Country, and asked sincerely: "What did you say just now? Payment method? I plan to pay with Song money, real money and silver Song money. I have always been reputable in business and never miss the debt."
