"This—" Li Du's face still looked suspicious.

"Are you a foot-bound woman so hesitant?" Seeing him hesitating, Zhang Wei was a little annoyed and whispered, "Accuse the power and treacherous and inspire the turbidity. If you are willing, someone will do this." He stretched out his hand and made a gesture to return the copy. He used Li Ruoxue to attack Zhao Xingde. It doesn't matter what the people in the market think. The key is the support of the students and the scholars. Therefore, Zhang Wei asked Li Du to copy this book "The Legend of Qin Xianglian" among the scholars. In order to attract people, the person in charge even added many erotic and banned scenes. Zhang Wei and others were ashamed, but when they saw others hesitating, they would become more angry. Li Du shrank his hand, as if he was afraid that Zhang Wei would snatch the copy back.

"Those who plan big things are not focused on the details," Li Du whispered, "How can I not know about this?"

"It's good that you know." Zhang Wei sneered and poured the wine in the glass into his throat. He felt a ray of coldness into his stomach, but it didn't feel as hot as before. The two put down the wine glass, subconsciously looked around, confirming that no one noticed this, and chatted a few more words before bowing to say goodbye.

On Liuqiu Island, the sound of cannons roared, and the battle had come to an end.

Victory was already destined. The island barbarians gathered nearly 20,000 soldiers and launched an attack on the front camp of the Song army. The Han army carefully explored all the plans of the island barbarians, and the Song army transported artillery into positions in advance. When the island barbarians suffered heavy blows and panicked because of the first attack by artillery and muskets, they were captured by the Song army's muskets. The island barbarians suddenly became disorganized, and the leaders rushed to retreat with their soldiers. Under the front and back of the Song army, most of the island barbarians were captured. Zhao Xingde then led his troops to attack the island barbarian tribes on the seaside and plains. With the help of artillery, they captured these tribes one by one after another in a few days. After the Han army ambushed the island barbarian tribes that escaped the net, they immediately launched a clearance operation against the tribes in the mountains.

For the just-established South China Sea Navy, this battle was a satisfactory start.

The soldiers of the Song army originally knew the fierceness of the islanders from Pinghu Islanders. Unexpectedly, they had to deal with the two generals in a few seconds. Some musketeers were ruthless in just capturing the prisoners without firing a single shot. The island was full of temporary prisoner camps, and the navy was about to go south soon, so these prisoners were handed over to the Han army to take care of the camp. There was a joyful atmosphere in the camp. The Han army had been planning for a long time, and finally joined forces with the Song army's navy to win a complete victory. The upper and lower schools were very satisfied. They were decorated with lights and coloured in the old camp, preparing to hold a big wedding.

The Han people who migrated to Liuqiu for a long distance were mainly young and middle-aged people, and there were more men and few women. The Han Army General's Office had a plan to intermarry with the island barbarians on a large scale, but the island barbarians were very xenophobic and progressed slowly over the years. This time, the island barbarian tribe defeated the island barbarian tribe and captured thousands of island barbarian women, except for those who had married and had children. There were also many girls who had not yet been granted a name. Therefore, the Han Army General's Office established a system for selecting island barbarian women to match them as wives according to the order of military merits, and immediately implemented them. In this way, even if the island barbarians were dissatisfied in the short term, the relationship between the two sides' blood was thicker than water after three or five years. As for the excess island barbarians, they either moved to the outer island or bought women from the Song State to match them as wives.

In order to reduce future disputes, the General's Mansion gave the island barbarians the opportunity to refuse twice, and told them in advance that they could not refuse again the third time. The island barbarians had to surrender in the face of uncertain fate. The Ryukyu Island was gentle in the climate and pleasant in the soil. The island barbarians' skin was delicate. Although they could not compare with the ladies of Song and Liao, they looked no less than the eldest sisters in Liaodong.

These days, the males in the Han army's settlement were all happy. In the camp where the unmarried girls of the island barbarians were imprisoned, Han army men were wandering around and observing everywhere. Because the general's mansion had a first word, these women had identities in the future, and were not female slaves who could insult wantonly. Before formal marriage, if they had inappropriate words and deeds, they would lose the qualification to choose. Most Han people just chose silently, and only a few pointed at them.

However, this situation that was like a beast still made these women very embarrassed and frightened.

"Su Ji, I'm afraid." Qiao Qiao bent her knees and let the cotton skirt cover her bare feet. Although the men didn't say anything, their eyes seemed to take off her naked. The numbers of each captive were hung outside the rough wooden railing. If the man fell in love with it, he would hang his number below. If there were many people competing, he would keep only the first three digits in the order of the number size. This means that on the day of selection, the woman would only have two chances to refuse.

Su Ji bit her lip and her eyes fell on a man outside the prison camp not far away. The thin figure, who had once looked at the shadowy figure, sat silently at the gate of the prison camp. This Han spy pretended to be a peddler and lived in the clan. Yang Fan, the Han man revealed the details of the clan, and he explained the rules of choosing animals to these prisoners. Moreover, what made Su Ji even more embarrassed and angry was that since he was captured, his red-faced and heart-beating eyes had stopped falling on himself. It seemed like a stranger. Su Ji was embarrassed and hatred. If her eyes could kill people, she had already cut him into pieces.

Su Ji is the most beautiful girl in the clan. Her father and brother are famously strong and brave. Therefore, although the men in the clan love her, they dare not tease her and bully her. She never encountered such a look of being treated like a cow and horse. The men outside came and went, and the signs changed. The rules of the Han people were similar to those of the island barbarians. The tall and strong drove away the cowardly ones. The remaining three signs were all very small. One looked very handsome and stopped outside the cage for a long time.

Su Ji kept lowering her head. In the gap between the hair locks, she saw the thin body sitting in the distance.

Most of the Han army officers had families and were unwilling to compete with soldiers for the island barbarians. These days, they were busy hosting officers from the South China Sea Navy. After the red sun sets westward, the navy camp was brightly lit and noisy. Zhao Xingde was worried that the navy officers and the Han army officers would be in trouble these days.

The banquet was another more intense battlefield. With the cup of tea, the navy officers also kept behind the sudden increase in the number of Han troops on the island. They found some strange things in the battle to suppress the island barbarians. As the battle to suppress the island barbarians in the mountains continued to achieve results, more and more Han troops appeared on the island, and more and more Han soldiers appeared. With Zhao Xingde's acquiescence, the officers of the two armies held high banquets every day, and the two sides became more and more familiar with each other.

Du Chujiao, Liu Zhijian and others knew very well that compared with Song, the Han army was a more reliable ally of Xia.

Zhou Li and others thought that the court had even recognized the Han army occupied Jingdong Road, what was this place outside Liuqiuhua? In the future, they would have to rely on the power of Han army's gunships. The naval officers followed the flow, and no one had raised the issue of the Han army's large number of island landings to oppose it. They didn't know that the Han army had been in Liuqiu for several years. The only dissatisfied was that the island barbarian tribe had very little wealth, and the valuables were some mountain goods and a little sand gold. The Han army matched a large number of island barbarian women to the army, which was the greatest benefit. The naval officers were very dissatisfied. Under Zhao Xingde's eyes, it was difficult to tear the face openly, and they all turned into bowls of wine to toast the other party. After the drunkenness, they complained a few times.

"Hey, I said, I, our navy, we bleed and sweated, and we beat the village down. We actually ate all the fat sheep for you, grandma's."

Ding Jin was covered in alcohol and patted the Han general Zhou Guangzong's shoulder and complained. Wang Fu's face turned red and his neck was thick, and he replied with a voice: "We have no share in the water camp, only those who stayed there. Damn, we are also jealous." Han general Tian Jue said dissatisfied: "Your navy's military salary is three times that of ours. Are you picking a lot of girls? Are you still going to grab bones with us?"

"No matter how small the mosquito is, it's still meat!" Ding Jin said with saliva, "Liu Qiu Fu's flavor..."

"Bah," another Han army officer Wang Fu shook his head and said with a knot, "Ding, Lord Ding doesn't know that our general's mansion has an order. Island barbarians can only be wives but not concubines, and they cannot take concubines in the future. If you can do these two things, I will ask you for a woman from the general. Your Lord Ding is ranked first among the top ten in the first place."

"Oh——" Ding Jin burped awkwardly. He was from a general, so how could he marry a barbarian woman? He murmured, "What are the rules of the coach's mansion? Why didn't I hear the coach talk about it? Come, drink, drink!" After he killed the wine, he subconsciously glanced at the seat and touched his forehead, "Huh? Where has the coach gone?"

Wang Fu and Zhou Guangzong were both old people from Liaodong. They looked at the empty handsome throne, exchanged their eyes tacitly, and suddenly shouted together: "Why do you care about so much? Come and drink!!" The two sea bowls were brought to their front with alcohol, and the wine was swaying. Ding Jin suddenly felt dizzy, and he felt a little nervous, and he picked up the sea bowl and said: "Grandma, do it!"

The moon is bright and the stars are sparse, and the waves are scattered. Not far from the camp, the Han army's tower ships are quietly moored on the sea.

Zhao Xingde looked at the lights in the distance, turned around and asked, "Is it necessary to do this?"

"Is there any better way than intermarriage?" Han Ningshuang said coldly, "If you lose a war, wouldn't the emperor also send the princess out to marry him? When a barbarian enters the Han territory and does not plunder women to the frontier to make cattle and horses. I heard that the corrupt scholars in the Central Plains also praised him, saying that this would make internal and external relations integrate into the world. Then it is understandable that we can integrate the barbarians like this?" She whispered, "What's more, I didn't let these island barbarians be concubines and maids. We respect the customs of island barbarians. Any Han people matched with island barbarians can only marry one daughter, not a concubine. If you want to divorce your wife, you must go through my own permission."
