"New Dengzhou has arrived!"

I woke up from my sleep, and my head was still a little painful. This was the sequelae of the upcoming journey with the passengers on the boat last night. At first, I thought it was just a dream that was unwavering. Since the Red Victory entered the New Bohai Bay, I could hear someone shouting that Xin Dengzhou was coming, but every time I was still just above the vast sea. Since I decided to go to Xin Dengzhou and set foot on the Red Victory, I have gradually become accustomed to the monotonous and boring days of a long journey on the sea.

But this time, the crowded voices outside told me that this was not a dream, nor a lie to the military information, but a real arrival in Xin Dengzhou!

I struggled to get up, quickly put on my clothes, and wanted to get out of the cabin immediately to the deck. After leaving the cabin door, there were many passengers who were as anxious as I was on the passage, and they all wanted to see this Xin Dengzhou, which had already heard countless rumors in Middle-earth, and he had another name - the Golden Peninsula. It was rumored that there was gold everywhere, and there were opportunities to get rich overnight. This was a paradise for adventurers and a new home for immigrants.

Since Emperor Wu wiped out the vassals, unified the world, and established a new Tang Empire, the maritime trade of the Tang Dynasty has become increasingly prosperous. Bohai Bay, the Yangtze River Estuary, Hangzhou Bay, Vietnam Bay, etc., with the time, place and people, with the full management of the court, the scale and weather are far from comparable to the past. In the past, the Bohai Bay area in the north was prosperous, and only Hangzhou Bay in the southeast was still prosperous. However, in recent years, the court has fully managed the southeast coast, making it gradually prosperous from north to south.

New Bohai Bay. This turned out to be a huge bay in the South China Sea surrounded by Chameng, Zhenla, Bagan, Sanfoqi, Malacca and other countries in the southern Annan region.

However, in the 20th year of the Dragon Age, it had long been renamed to the New Bohai Bay. Chameng, Zhenla, Bagan and other countries to the north of the Bay have now become the southern territory of the New Tang Empire.

In the third year of Longji, the Zhunian Kingdom of the Tianzhu Continent launched a large number of troops to attack Ceylon, Bagan and Malacca countries in the South China Sea, with the intention of invading the Nanyang region. The Nanyang Golden Peninsula and the powerful countries of Jinzhou Island sent troops to fight. The two sides launched a war in the South China Sea. During this period, the Wu Emperor, who had just been flattened by the northwest grasslands, respected as the Supreme Khan for the chiefs of the Western Regions, seized this opportunity and sent a large number of elites from the Supervision Bureau to sneak into the Nanyang, fled and dispersed the two countries, and assassinated the generals and nobles of both sides to both sides. In the end, the war became increasingly fierce, and almost all island countries in the Nanyang and land countries were involved.

Zhunian was a dynasty in southern India. In recent years, the power of the country has increased greatly and has unified the southern part of Zhu. Their people are warlike. The dynasty has 60,000 battle elephants, each of which is seven or eight feet tall, carrying a small house. The soldiers fought with bows and arrows, allowing this kind of elephant formation to defeat their opponents many times. In the third year of Longji, under the rule of the Zhunian Dynasty, it had ruled 15 million people, and its strength was far beyond the Three Buddhas.

However, most of the territory of Sanfoqi is on the island. Palembang, Malay Island opposite the Golden Peninsula, cannot be underestimated by its maritime military strength.

A strong man on the land of India and a overlord on the sea of ​​Nanyang.

Under the secret intervention of the New Tang Empire, the two major forces became stronger and stronger. After three years of war, by the sixth year of Longji, both sides were exhausted and both sides were injured. At this time, the New Tang Empire finally completed its preparations for the war. With the order of Emperor Wu, 200,000 Tang troops advanced side by side and land, and went south in two directions.

The 100,000 infantry troops attacked Nanzhao from Hunan, Guangxi and Vietnam, and another large army composed of 50,000 navy and 50,000 marines descended along the Annan coast.

No one expected that the New Tang Empire in the Central Plains had just unified Zhongtu and quickly intervened in Southeast Asia and sent such a huge army.

At the beginning of the war, the Tang army did not directly deal with Zhunian and Sanfoqi. Instead, on the grounds that Sanfoqi had hurt the Tang Dynasty's maritime merchants who were engaged in Nanyang, they sent troops to attack Sanfoqi. Megan, the water commander of the General Staff Academy, who was commanding 50,000 naval troops and the Marine Corps at that time, took the initiative to contact Zhunian and proposed a joint attack on Sanfoqi. At that time, it was even promised that after the destruction of Sanfoqi, the Golden Peninsula would return to Zhunian and the Jinzhou Island would return to the Tang Dynasty.

The Zhunian Kingdom was in the quagmire of war with the Three Buddhas at that time, and it was difficult to get off the battlefield and could not move forward or retreat. The country was moved by the proposal from the Tang army. Many Zhunian nobles received large bribes from the Tang Dynasty and sang this alliance one after another. In the end, Zhunian and New Tang joined forces to attack the Three Buddhas.

In the eighth year of the Dragon Chronicle, the three Buddhas all perished.

In the ninth year of Longji, Nanzhao was destroyed.

In the same year, the Zhunian Expeditionary Army, which was rushing to the Golden Peninsula to receive the fruits of victory, was ambushed by the Tang army and 50,000 troops were wiped out. The Tang Empire launched a full-scale war against the Zhunian Kingdom.

From the ninth year of the Longji period, this war continued to the eighteenth year of the Longji period. The empire's expeditionary forces not only eventually destroyed the Zhunian Kingdom, but also fought south from the Sanchuan Province and Guangxi Province in the southwest of the empire, and finally fought to the southern coastal areas. The navy operated in the Nanyang years and completely conquered the Nanyang islands, and even reached the distant southern barren continental island to establish a port base.

It turned out that the bay controlled by Sanfoqi was renamed the New Bohai Bay, the Golden Peninsula was renamed Xindengzhou, and the Jinzhou Island was renamed Xinlushun.

The Malacca Strait, which was originally located between Xin Dengzhou and Xin Lushun, was also renamed the Golden Strait. This was originally a must-pass place for marine trade. After the Qin vassal control of the Nanyang and after years of operation, the scale and weather here far exceeded the Sanfoqi era. It has become the busiest and crowded port in Nanyang. It can even be said to be the busiest port in the entire Tang Dynasty, surpassing Dengzhou and Hangzhou.

Especially this year, although the Lantern Festival in the 20th year of the Dragon Age has just passed, the winter trade wind blowing from north to south since November last year is the best time for ships to travel to the South China Ocean every year. Departing from the southeastern coast of the Central Plains with the winter trade wind, some southeastern ships in the south first set sail after the Lantern Festival every year. With the beginning of the winter monsoon from November to March, a large number of Central Plains ships will ride the wind and go south. From June to September every year, the summer monsoon begins, and a large number of ships will head north.

During the monsoon interval between March and June and September and November every year, a large number of ships will also be docked in ports near the Golden Strait waiting to set sail.

Because the strait has no wind all year round, it is also the best safe haven, and it has even become the largest maritime trade transfer station in the East and the West.

At this time, all things lie in the dormant, and the Golden Strait also entered the busy season earlier than in previous years. Sailboats from all over the port came in and out, queuing day and night, passing through the empire's customs and sailing across the strait.

My name is Shi Jingtang. I was born in Baima Township, Yizhou, Hebei Province, in the first year of Guangming (880) of Emperor Xizong of the Tang Dynasty. My father was not from Hebei who lived in Yizhou forever. He was originally a Shatuo native who lived in Daibei, and his ancestors moved from Shatuo King Li Keyong in his early years. He served under the command of King Li Keyong of Shatuo in his early years, and later joined the Wu Emperor. He was discharged from the army during the disarmament of one million troops and became the mayor of Baima Town. I am 25 years old this year, and my father is currently the Imperial Examination Envoy of Yizhou. The New Tang Empire now has forty-eight provinces and 360 states in the country. My father is one of the three troop chariots of the state. He can only be regarded as a middle-level official.

However, my father also had a title of founding a son, which is a glory that many provincial officials may not necessarily have. My mother was also a neighbor of the northern region, but this did not affect my becoming an imperial citizen. I studied since I was a child and learned martial arts from my father. I entered the school at the age of six and entered the most famous Spartan training camp in the empire as a marquis at the age of ten. Until I was twenty years old, five years ago, in the fifteenth year of the Longji period. I officially entered the Imperial Army and became a deputy of the Imperial Army with the rank of lieutenant.

In the fifteenth year of Longji, the war between the Empire and Zhunian Kingdom had come to an end. The war in the south was settled, and the empire's military focus had shifted to the northwest. The first time I joined the army was to fight the Tubo people. However, at that time, I was just responsible for the final victory. Tubo, which had already weakened in the late Tang Dynasty, was no longer as brave as before, and internal conflicts were constantly broken up. The empire spent ten years training a legion that adapted to plateau combat, and finally wiped out the various Tubo troops in one fell swoop. In that battle, I didn't get any chance to show my skills. However, after the battle against Tubo that ended in the sixteenth year of Longji, I was still successfully promoted to lieutenant and officially became the leader of the team.

In the 16th year, he went to the Western Regions with his army. Due to the surrender of the Kingdom of Khotan, the rebellion of the Uighurs in Xizhou was attracted, followed by the intervention of the Black Khan Dynasty west of the Pamir Mountains.

The Black Khan Dynasty was a branch of the Turkic people. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, the Uighurs perished in civil unrest, and three tribes began to move westward, one of which was the Ganzhou Uighurs, one was the Xizhou Uighurs, and the other was led by the Khan Pang Teqin to travel westward to the Geluo tribe in Chuhe area. Uighurs and Geluo were both branches of the Turkic people. Later, Pang Teqin surrendered to Geluo and other Turkic tribes, and they established a unified dynasty, known in history as the Karakhan Dynasty, and was also called the Black Khan Dynasty because of their black-clothed black flag. This newly established dynasty implemented the centralized system of the two Khans, with strong national strength, and was also a shaman and Zoroastrian.

After the establishment of the New Tang Dynasty, they immediately made an expedition to the Hexi Corridor and destroyed the Ganzhou Uighurs in one fell swoop, which made the Black Khans, who were also Uighurs, very dissatisfied. When the New Tang Dynasty destroyed Tubo and continued to expand westward, they finally couldn't sit still and tried to annex the Kingdom of Khotan. When the Kingdom of Khotan finally joined the empire, they finally started war on the Tang Dynasty.

This war is nothing to the Empire, but it completely changed me.

The initial war was very smooth. After a year of fighting, we regained Khotan and defeated the Xizhou Uighurs. We even won many battles with the Black Khan Dynasty. At that time, I had been promoted to major and became a deputy battalion leader of the infantry army. Just when I thought the war was about to end, the Black Khan Dynasty attracted a stronger ally.

The sixth-generation grandson of the Persian Sassanian Emperor, who was once destroyed by the Arab Empire, was newly established in the Hezhong region. This was a military power close to the Pamirs and Tubo in the Western Regions. Although this newly established Persian dynasty, like the New Tang Dynasty, was the leader of the black-clothed food, they were an absolute military power.

When the Arab Empire expanded eastward, it once fought with the Tang Empire in Henglus in the Western Regions. In the end, the Tang army was defeated because of the Geluo people's defeat. Later, due to the Anshi Rebellion, Anxi troops retreated to the Central Plains, and the Tang Dynasty had no chance to decide the victory and defeat with the Arabs again. Now the Black Khan Dynasty and the Saman Dynasty rose together in the Western Regions, separating the east and west of the Pamir Mountains. Originally, they would be natural opponents. However, because of the empire's massive advance westward, both dynasties felt a strong threat.

They eventually joined forces.

Although the Saman Dynasty was an emerging dynasty, they were indeed worthy of being a military power.

The emperor of the Saman Empire, "Emir" Ismay Ben Ahmed, was the second ruler of this dynasty. In 873, after the fall of the Tahir Dynasty, Ahmed unified the second control of the Hezhong region. In 874, his son Naisr Ibn Ahmed was appointed as the governor of the Hezhong region by the Caliph, which was the beginning of the Saman dynasty. Ismay Ben Ahmed was Naisr's younger brother and the first Emir of this dynasty, the real founder of the dynasty.

He built an elite cavalry, the Gulam Guards.

Guram was actually an army that had been circulated in Central Asia, West Asia and South Asia early in the Middle Ages, originating from Persian. It means trained slaves. This is a professional elite army. The Turkish-Persian empires such as the Saman dynasty, the Gassini dynasty, the Karakhan dynasty, the Seljuk dynasty and the Khwarezm dynasty all formed the Guram troops. Guram is generally divided into court guram and general guram. The Guram is responsible for defending the capital and the central government, while Guram is generally responsible for the safety of local officials.

The history of slave soldiers has a long history. As early as the era of slavery, armed slaves followed the slave owner's army to fight. However, military slaves who had been highly professionally trained were the product of the rise of Islam. The initiator of this method was the Arab Empire. During the Abbas Dynasty of the Arab Empire, the Caliphs raised a group of slave guards around him. Responsible for the personal safety of the Caliphs, this was the earliest prototype of the Gulam army. During the period of the Caliph Muertaisuimu, this practice became more common, but later these slave soldiers gradually became larger and undermined the power of the Abbas Dynasty.

Around the first year of Emperor Xizong of Tang Dynasty, the newly established Saman Dynasty revived the already declining ancient Persian culture after its founding and integrated it with Islamic culture. The Saman Dynasty implemented a centralized system. In order to ensure the unity and stability of the dynasty, it must have tough political and military skills. Therefore, the Saman Dynasty not only established a postal system in politics to monitor the basic situation of local officials and guards, but also institutionalized, systematically and perfected the slave soldiers practices of the Abbas dynasty era, thus creating the Gulam military system and becoming the source of the famous Gulam army.

The members of Guram were mainly Turkic people, and the Saman Dynasty mainly used slave trading to expand Guram. In addition, prisoners of war were also an important source. Guram members cultivated and instilled Persian culture and values, Islamic teachings and superb riding martial arts when they were young. When Gulam grew up, they first served as soldiers and stationed for the dynasty. They could be promoted to officers. Guram, the monarch, could then go to generals and ministers, serve as senior officials in government departments, or generals with military power. Guram, the nobles, started from the private guards and gradually became their stewards, retainers and guards.

As an Iranian dynasty with martial arts supremeness, Gulam had a very high status in its country and society. Although their name was still a slave, they actually enjoyed extremely high honors. Emir, the central government and the nobles from all over the country also trusted Gulam very much and were willing to spend money on them to establish a complete training and promotion system for them. Gulams usually wore silk, and their dresses were more beautiful and colorful. The belts were of high quality, with gold as the foundation, and were decorated with various colors of treasures to show luxury. The equipment was decorated with real gold and silver, and some were carefully carved and inlaid with jewelry. During the war, they were covered with all their bodies, wearing heavy armor, with sharp and shiny war hammers and swords, and a set of armor was majestic and majestic.

I once thought that the Tang Dynasty was the most prosperous in the world. The warriors in the world were the Tang cavalry.

But now I have to admit that those Saman Gulams are an iron cavalry that can compete with the Tang cavalry, especially the Gulam Guards, are the elite among the elite. They fight bravely and fearlessly. Although they are called slaves, these Turks enjoy extremely high honors.

In Henglus, the battlefield between the former Tang Anxi Army and the Arab Empire, the Western Expedition Army of the New Tang Empire defeated the Black Khan Light Cavalry, forcing them to retreat here. Here, they met with the Guram of the Saman Dynasty. We had fought with the Samman Army before, but that was only a small number of advance troops, and they were not Gurams.

Eighty thousand imperial expedition forces fought against 60,000 Black Khan army in Henglus and 50,000 Saman army.

That was a war that I still don't want to recall. Although the Imperial Army still achieved the final victory in that battle with few enemies, the victory was a tragic victory. It can even be said that this was the first victory in the history of the army established by Emperor Wu. The 80,000 Imperial Western Expedition Army almost wiped out the Uighurs, Geluo and Tucai and 60,000 troops in that battle, but the 50,000 Saman Army, especially the 10,000 Gulam Guards, began to watch our storm of the Black Khan army, and they just sat there. So the generals of the Western Expedition Army once thought that the Saman Army had abandoned their allies when they saw that the situation was not good.

I thought so at that time, because if it weren't the case, the Samans should have sent rescue when we attacked the Black Khan Army on the left. But they didn't, so everyone thought that the matter was over. But when I cut off the head of a Centurion of the Gloro cavalry. I thought in my mind that I finally avenged the revenge of the Imperial Warriors who were betrayed by their ancestors more than a hundred years ago, the Samans who had been unmoved for a long time went on at an unexpected opportunity.

They ignored the black khan soldiers who had been completely defeated, and ignored the Imperial Army that had already won a great victory on the left, and rushed towards them regardless of the consequences.

I clearly remember that at that time, because we defeated the Black Khan Army, the troops were in a little chaotic and the formation was very long.

It was a tragic battle. The Samans used 60,000 Black Sweat Army as bait. They betrayed their allies. They deliberately gave it to us to eat, which changed our formation. Then, they suddenly attacked. Unfortunately, although these Gurams were arrogant, they were too arrogant. The Imperial Army was not so easy to meet, and although the formation was dispersed, no one retreated in the face of them.

That day, I cut all the two swords I carried with me. I changed to three horses, two cavalry lances, and used all the iron bones, steel whips, and copper maces. My three bows, two crossbows and six grenades were used up as early as when dealing with the Black Sweater.

The bloody battle lasted for two days and one night. I can't remember how many people I killed. It seems that I killed more than ten. However, most of them were Black Khan soldiers, and there were only about three Samman soldiers who died under my command, while Guram. There was only one. It was an officer of the Gulam Guards and a tall Turkic slave officer. Even now, I still can't understand why the black-clothed Turkic soldiers of the Black Khan Dynasty, who were also wearing black-clothed black-clothed Turkic slave Guards, were so different from that of the Turkic slave Guards?

The battle ended with the victory of the Imperial Army. The Samans underestimated us. They finally left with hatred. In the end, there were only more than 20,000 Samanthas, and in the end, only more than 20,000 retreated to the west of the Palacio. They walked in a very embarrassing way, but unfortunately we were no longer able to chase after. After the victory, the Imperial Army, after counting, there were only less than 30,000 left, and everyone was injured. At that time, I had more than a dozen wounds on my body. Until now, I have to thank the brothers of the Imperial Army's first aid hospital package, battlefield medical battalion and stretcher team, and also thanks to the first aid knowledge learned in the Spartan training camp, which allowed me to save my life under such severe injuries.

After that war, Emperor Wu sent another 50,000 imperial guards to support. The Western Expedition Army, which was supplemented, plowed the entire Western Regions east of the Pamir Mountains to the Jinshan Mountains in one fell swoop. The Uighurs in the Xizhou and the Black Khan Dynasty were all destroyed. Only a few troops crossed the Pamir Mountains and fled to the Saman Empire.

I know that the Empire will definitely fight Saman for another day, but I can't participate again.

After that war, I was awarded the Medal of Brave and the Medal of Eagle, and received the baron of the Empire personally awarded by the King of Qin, and was promoted to the rank of colonel.

Unfortunately, although I returned from Xijiang and recuperated in Chang'an, Xijing for a long time, my body was still seriously injured and no longer suitable to stay in the army. In the end, I had to retire and return home. The court gave me two choices, one was to be an instructor, either in a military academy or in a Spartan training camp, or to a civilian position, just like my father back to work.

But in the end I didn't choose either way, so I chose to take off my official uniform completely and return home.

In the 20th year of the Dragon Chronicle of the Empire, the crown prince had been appointed as the crown prince for twenty years, and was also observed by Emperor Wu and all officials for twenty years. The fifty-three-year-old Emperor Wu was very satisfied with the thirty-two-year-old Prince Li Dezhao. All the court were also very satisfied with the crown prince who was the eldest son of the concubine at the age of twelve. In any case, the crown prince, who was once his senior in the Spartan training camp, was extremely disrespectful to his father's style. Many people even said that the crown prince was simply the same as His Majesty Wu, and he was completely the young Emperor Wu.

Because of this, this year, Emperor Wu finally issued an edict to enthrone the crown prince to supervise the military and national affairs, let him supervise the country and assist in handling state affairs.

At the same time, Emperor Wu issued an edict to feudal princes.

Emperor Wu's edict shocked the world.

Over the years, the princes have participated in training camps since childhood. When they became adults, they would enter the army. After five years, they would be transferred out of the army. Return to Shenjing and enter the Imperial College for study. All the princes were in the capital, and none of them remained in the army and places. Although the princes had been granted the title of king, none of them became vassal states. Originally, the world thought that Emperor Wu might have to follow the example of the former Tang Dynasty and not be granted the title of princes.

No one expected that it was not that the Martial Emperor was not unqualified, but that he was just waiting before.

He was waiting to see if the prince was really suitable. He was waiting to see the princes become adults.

Now, in the twenty years of the Dragon Chronicle, the oldest crown prince is already thirty-two years old, and the rest of the princes are mostly twenty-two years old. The princes have grown up, and after training camps and the army, they are all ready after studying in the Imperial College.

As soon as the "Fethical Princes" was promulgated, the princes were enfeoffed. From the kingdom to the county state, the emperor enfeoffed all the princes over twenty years old. In addition to his outstanding martial arts, the most praised by the people of the world was his prosperity. The 53-year-old Wu Emperor now has more than 100 concubines and beauties in the harem, and more than 300 princes and princesses. There are 108 princes alone. This time, he enfeoffed 72 princes at once.

However, what surprised the people of the world even more was that Emperor Wu not only granted the princes, but also granted the princesses. The first batch of 108 married princesses were also included in the list of the bans, and they would grant the principality.

This time, all the feudal princes of the court were enfeoffed in Nanyang and the deserted Aozhou. In addition to the Golden Peninsula, Malay Island, Borneo, Java Island and other major islands directly belonged to the empire. Apart from the provinces, all the small and medium-sized islands of Nanyang were enfeoffed in the titles of princes. The kingdom's fiefdom is about a hundred miles, with an area of ​​about one county. The county is half a county. The princess state is roughly equal to a town in the Central Plains.

According to the edict, the feudal vassals of feudal lords, no matter the size of the size, were called states, kingdoms, counties, and priests. The court was the suzerain state of each fiefdom, and each fiefdom enjoyed autonomy. The court did not interfere with the military, economy, internal affairs of the country, but the law of the country must be based on the laws of the court. In addition, the court did not garrison in the country, and the country had the right to build its own army, but the army of the country must not exceed the fixed quota. The kingdom supported at most 5,000 troops, 3,000 counties, and 1,000 principalities. In addition, each fiefdom must pay 30% of the tax revenue to the court every year. The fiefdom inherited from generation to generation, and the new king must report to the court to the court and be enthroned by the court.

Although some people in the Central Plains think of the Nanyang Islands as a wilderness, most people have actually changed their sights. In recent years, the Nanyang sea trade has been extremely prosperous, and the imperial court has immigrated to the Nanyang and the southwest coast in large numbers. It can be said that the crops here are ripe three times a year, a large amount of barren land, as well as many rich minerals and convenient waterways have caused more and more people to rush to the Nanyang Ocean. Although the development of the Northeast has not yet been saturated, it has been developed for decades, and many good land and mountains have been occupied by those who arrive first, so it is not that cost-effective to go there.

On the contrary, the South China Sea islands, the southwestern coastal areas and even the continent of India are the last treasure lands. Who wouldn’t want to come here to earn the first pot of gold in life, or even build a family here. The imperial court enfeoffed the first batch of bans in Nanyang, which can be said to be absolutely satisfying these princes and princesses. Close to the South China Sea Trade Channel, although the only island countries are divided, even if they only plant crops such as rice, sugarcane, and cotton, they will not have to worry about income. What’s more, relying on the sea to eat the sea, doing ocean trade, or even transit trade, can definitely make a lot of money.

After the New Year, merchants on the coast of the Central Plains made a fortune. From the north to Dalian, Seoul, Pyongyang, Qinwang Island, Tianjin, Dengzhou, Qingdao and the states of Suzhou, Hangzhou and Mingyue, more than 100 states of vassal states were almost collected and collected all the ships that could be bought along the coast, and even a large amount of other commodity materials were purchased by these states of vassal states, which stimulated the workshops to receive a large number of orders, and the workers had to work overtime to produce.

After the imperial baron was issued, I also benefited from it. According to the edict, all princes and princesses could be granted the title of marquis and established a country, and our empires could also obtain a fief on the borders of the empire.

Although the nobles' fiefs were subject to many restrictions compared with the fiefs of the princes, they also made nobles like me overjoyed. Since the former Tang Dynasty, the nobles had almost no real fiefs, and even their fiefs were just a false fief. However, with the rapid expansion of the empire today, the emperor began to generously take out real gold and silver fiefs to reward the meritorious officials.

I was awarded the title for the imperial war, so I was among the first list of fiefs. My fief is twenty miles in circumference, on a small island east of Malay Island opposite the Golden Peninsula. According to the officials in charge of the court, it was a very good piece of land, a piece of flat land. Although it was still a wasteland, as long as I recruited some people to cultivate it, I could even plant sugarcane or rice that year.

.The circumference is twenty miles long. If it is a square shape, there will be five miles on each side. If it is all cultivated into land, it is equivalent to nearly ten thousand acres of land. Such a generous reward made my father and I very excited. My father is a viscount of the Empire, and his fief is forty miles long, which is 37,500 acres. Although this land is far away from a small island in Nanyang, tens of thousands of miles away from the Central Plains, it is enough to make our father and son very happy.

After receiving the official fiefdom book, I immediately set off south. This time I will go to the small island of my fiefdom to reclaim him, and reclaim my father's fiefdom. Since the land is ours, I can't leave him idle anymore. I brought about a few hundred gold coins from my rewards and military pay in the past few years, and my father gave me some and raised up a thousand golden dragons. I believe that this money is enough for me to reclaim these two treasure lands and even build two manors. My father said that when he retires in the future, he will go to Nanyang to pursue his old age.

However, when I arrived at the port, I realized how many people were going to Nanyang at this time. I changed several ports in a row. But I couldn't buy a ticket to Nanyang at all. In the end, I met a familiar one. The owner of the Red Victory, Li Deyi, the Prince of Fufeng, was my classmate when I was in the training camp. He was very happy to see me. He heard that I was going to Nanyang, so he pulled me onto his ship. He was also the first prince to be granted a title. According to his title, he was a very talented prince. However, his mother was just a talented person from an ordinary family. Therefore, his title was just a prince. As he spoke, he learned that his fief was very close to my fief.

Although my fief is my fief, it is different from the fief. My fief is in the provinces directly controlled by the court in the Nanyang. But it is not on several large islands in the province, but on small islands around the islands. It is not far from Li Deyi, but I do not have those independent privileges in the fief. Everything must be governed by the imperial law and must be under the jurisdiction of the imperial officials. Even half of the fief output will be handed over to the empire. But all the nobles, including me, are very happy to have such a fief fief.

Although Li Deyi's mother was just a talented man without the support of her powerful family, Li Deyi went to Nanyang, and Emperor Wu and Empress, Empress Dowager and Crown Prince gave the prince a battalion of imperial guards. Although there were only 500 people, they were elite imperial guards. In addition, their families, relatives and friends were willing to go to Nanyang, there were thousands of people. In addition, the craftsmen and people they recruited, as well as sailors, the team heading south was very large, with a population of nearly 10,000 and more than 20 boats.

In addition to the nearly 10,000 future people of the new Fufeng Kingdom, the twenty-something ships specially drawn by the Wu Emperor were also loaded with all kinds of materials from grain to agricultural tools, oxen, war horses, medicinal materials, books, etc. Once I went to Nanyang, it might be difficult to return to my hometown. I also bought a lot of seeds, farm tools and other materials along the way, and brought them with me along with the ship.

"New Dengzhou has arrived!"

Another excited shout came, and the crowd on the deck made a burst of cheers. After months of sailing on the sea, the group of people who came to Nanyang, finally arrived at Xindengzhou, a legendary golden peninsula full of gold.

I finally squeezed onto the deck, crossed the dark crowd, and vaguely saw the other color in the past few months besides the blue sea and blue sky. It was the color of land, and it was not the island, it was the real continuous coast.

"Xindenzhou, Xindengzhou!" I heard the sailors on the boat responding loudly. These sailors are experienced veterans who have been running to the South China Sea for many years. Their voices prove that we did arrive in Xindengzhou. This immediately attracted people on the fleet of more than 20 ships to shout excitedly: "Xindenzhou, Xindengzhou!"

Everyone's excited cry overwhelmed the wind and the waves. Amid their screams, I saw Li Deyi, the prince of Fufeng, turn his head and look in the direction he came.

I stood silently and looked back.

In the direction of coming, except for the blue sea and blue sky, there are only white sails, seabirds flying in the sky, and white waves. Apart from these, there is no other sight, and there is no sight to see the homeland that has long been gone.

The sky is clean and from now on, my hometown is far away from the ocean!

He turned around and faced forward. There, under the brand new sky, there was a new home!

ps: The book has been completed, thirteen months, more than three hundred days and nights. At this moment, when it finally came to the end, I felt a lot of reluctance in my heart, and some readers said that there were still many things that had not been written. However, after thinking for a long time, it was enough to write this.

ps2: After completing this book, you may have to take a few days off before you conceive a new book. At present, I have an idea. The next book may be about the period of the Sui Dynasty. I hope everyone will like it then.
Chapter completed!
