As early as the Xining period, the Song State sent more than 100,000 troops to attack Annan. Both sides had their own victory and defeat. Annan neither ceded land nor surrendered. In the eyes of the Huguo Mansion, the great achievements were finally lost. The Song Dynasty was considered unbeaten and defeated, leaving a deep impression. Considering that the Shu people were tired of war, the Huguo Mansion basically did not intend to develop southward. However, this time the Shu army and the Dali coalition attacked Annan, they actually won consecutive battles and won all their efforts, which made the Huguo Mansion look at him with admiration. After this battle, Shu

The soldiers in the middle also felt quite proud. If it weren't for Zhao Xingde's reputation, he would have sent a general to preside over the Southwest Naval Office, he would probably not be able to suppress this group of arrogant soldiers and generals. However, in front of Zhao Xingde, not only did the Sui Minren and Wang Wuwei, the mighty generals, dared not be rebellious at all, but deliberately respected them. If everyone had doubts about his reputation earlier, after the Guangzhou victory, the South China Sea Navy sailed all the way, as if a tiger had emerged from the forest and the beasts were scattered. Wherever the news passed, the pirates fled far away, and even the worm thieves became much quieter.

"Yuntun is an Annan Dagang, and has always been called wealthy and is open to business travel. Why is this scene?"

Zhao Xingde looked at Wang Wuwei and asked casually. Although he was expected, the depression of all industries in Yuntun Port surprised him. You should know that Annan was within the territory of China from the Qin and Han Dynasties to the Tang dynasties, and it only left in the Five Dynasties. The degree of development was slightly inferior to the Guangnan two routes. Even if the pirates of the Great Food harassed the coast, the inland was not greatly affected. In recent years, the trade routes from Shuzhong and Dali to Annan have increased unabated. The situation of Yuntun City's queuing with soldiers to purchase goods is really surprising...

"This, this," Wang Wuwei said embarrassedly, "We have no choice but to do anything about the business road."

"Oh?" Zhao Xingde frowned, "Don't the business travelers in Shuzhong come to Yuntun Port?"

"Shu merchants and Dali merchants walked more tea and horse roads. There were originally horse gangs coming to Yuntun to buy sea goods. Since the sea route was cut off, the land travel was cut off. Yuntun Island was hanging alone on the sea, with not many land and not many people. The market was depressed, and most of the business travelers were scattered."

Wang Wuwei scratched his head in distress. Seeing that he really didn't know what to do, Zhao Xingde did not ask too much, but instead comforted him a few words. Although the soldiers of the Xia Kingdom were both responsible for the Yinhu, from the general to the ordinary sergeant, the soldiers only managed the Yinhu. From the county to the top, to the whole country, trade and breeding industry were planned by the Prime Minister's Office. The larger the pattern of this political affairs, the more complicated the involvement was, and the more civil and military separation was separated. For more than a hundred years, only a few people including Liu Yi and others had truly become generals and prime ministers. Most of the officers were able to maintain peace in the local area. If they were to restore Yuntun Port, it would be difficult.

If it is other places of conquest, this matter will be handled by the Prime Minister's Office. However, the situation in Annan is very special. The five prefectures are not very troublesome. In addition to sending troops to station in Yuntun Port, the Shu Kingdom mainly sent a few capable officials, and the Dali Kingdom sent most of the officials to gather the children of Annan's aristocratic families and surrendered officials of Annan's dynasties to govern the local area. The Prime Minister's Office of Xia Kingdom has never interfered in specific local affairs, making it self-restrained. Most of the Annan's aristocratic families feel that their lives are more comfortable than when the Li Dynasty was not destroyed. Using power and gentleness together is also the reason why Annan has been pacified for several years.

However, both Shu and Dali countries were interested in managing the land-based tea-horse trade routes, and were determined to strengthen the connection between Annan and Dali and Shu countries deep inland. They were not interested in opening up and operating maritime trade routes, and even more so after the Dashi pirates invaded the coastal areas. Dali countries even submitted a submission to the Prime Minister's Office, asking the garrison of Yuntun Port to cooperate with the Dali defenders to implement the ban on the sea, but were rejected by the Prime Minister's Office. Despite this, the coastal trade routes were depressed, and the life of Shu*men stationed in Yuntun Port became increasingly difficult.

"In the Southwest Sea battle, only three points are on the battlefield, and seven points are still outside the battlefield. What do you think?"

Officer Wen of the navy stood down and said, all of them looked thoughtful when they heard this, but they were unwilling to speak.

After Zhao Xingde comforted himself and bid farewell to Wang Wuwei, he searched for a while and summoned Feng Mi, Mo Ruai, Xia Cunliang and other aides in the navy to discuss. After hearing what he said just now, Feng Mi and others felt a little strange. Zhao Xingde's group of aides in the navy, both talent and courage were considered a temporary choice among young civil servants. Even if he had never managed prefectures and counties, he was not ignorant of this. For Feng Mi thought for a little, he had already made several conspiracies. However, Annan was the land of the Xia Kingdom. Zhao Xingde served as an official position in both countries and did not mention it in time, and everyone also avoided this section. However, it was very embarrassing to discuss this matter.

There was silence in the White Tiger Hall, and Zhao Xingde didn't speak, looking at everyone thoughtfully.

"Mr. Zhao, Annan is the territory of Xia Kingdom. I am sorry that I am inconvenient to interfere with it."

Everyone was silent for a long time. Seeing that Zhao Xingde had no intention of giving up, Feng Miheng made up his mind and left Leung and said with great confidence.

Just now, everyone's thoughts were similar, but no one stood up. After Feng Mi stood up, the others looked up at Zhao Xingde, and the meaning of advancing and retreating together was self-evident. Since the aides were ministers of the Song State, it was naturally impossible to contribute to the Xia State in the position of the Navy. Although they respected Zhao Xingde's character, they were related to loyalty and righteousness. If they took a wrong step, they would never turn back. Many people even secretly regretted Zhao Xingde. If they had not served Xia State in exile, he might have been elected as the prime minister after Chen Dong, and he would have made great achievements. Deng Su would have taken Chen Dong to replace him. With Zhao Xingde's prestige, he could have ignored them and directly recruited a group of people who obeyed the rules. However, on the one hand, it would be possible to find a group of flattering villains, and on the other hand, it would be like to start a new job and rebuild a group of liuguans that were opposed to the aides of the Navy's aides, and sowing the seeds of party struggles.

"The territory of Xia State is inconvenient to intervene"

Zhao Xingde looked at these young faces, especially Feng Mi, as if he had returned to the strongest tent in the Ezhou camp. He shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Is this thesis of the Ministry of Rites?" He bent his fingers and knocked on the table. The slight bang reminded all the staff that Xia State supported Dali State to annex Annan. Although Song State did not send troops to intervene, before the Jingkang Rebellion, Annan's remaining ministers were running around in Bianliang, hoping that Song State could send troops to help Annan restore the country. However, Song State itself was unable to protect and could not take action. Nan was a territory of Xia State. Although the Ministry of Rites had never admitted An, it was a default.

"Do you think you can interfere?"

"It's not just Annan, but also the most urgent task of this large territory in the Southwest Sea is to manage it first."

"No matter what future belongs," Zhao Xingde looked at everyone and said leisurely, "Chu Gong Chu De is the foundation of my China."

"Sir?" Feng Mi said in surprise, and the staff also showed strange expressions.

The King of Chu lost his treasure bow while hunting. The followers were searching everywhere, but were stopped by the King of Chu and said, "The Chu people lost their bows, and the Chu people got them, so there is no need to worry about it." Everyone knows this allusion. Zhao Xingde said it, and Feng Mi thought secretly: "Does Lord Zhao think that the unification of the world is the general trend? So now there is no need to worry about the ownership of these overseas corners, just manage it." Who is the unification of the world? The mood of the staff is also complicated. Although Guanxi is aggressive, Ezhou

Since the establishment of the system, the State of Song has also had a faint revival. Moreover, with the changes in the situation, the military and political system of Kansai was also well known to the scholars of Kansai. Young scholars like Feng Mi who were enthusiastic about the world changed their previous self-righteousness and carefully studied the situation in Kansai. Because of this, his eyes were a bit complicated when he looked at Zhao Xingde. People like Zhao Xingde who could be powerful in martial arts and possess talents in literature. People who could become generals and ministers in Kansai were even more important to Kansai. After the training of various prefectures and counties, thousands of troops were easy to get, but one general was hard to find.

"grown ups"

"You all saw it." Zhao Xingde waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "The situation in Annan, the foundations of Shu and Dali are deep inland. The fact that the sea route is not smooth itself is irrelevant to Shu and Dali, or even to Xia. However, for the Song Dynasty in front of him, no matter who Annan belongs to, the sea route is smooth itself, which is beneficial but not harmful." His tone sank slightly, "The expansion of sea routes has been a career that has been decades and hundreds of years, and it is even more like a deficit in the water."

When sailing, if you don’t advance, you will retreat. Therefore, you must seize this opportunity." He looked at Feng Mi and others’ complex expressions and said, “The southeast and Fujian are narrow and numerous, and even infanticide happens. People need to cultivate outwards. You can manage this place not only benefit the country, but also the people.” He sighed and said, “Heavenly sees oneself and the people. No matter who is dead, it will be beneficial to the livelihood of millions of people. You can have a clear conscience.”

Feng Mi and others listened quietly, but their hearts were ups and downs.

"When expanding the sea route, Kanto and Kansai will combine to benefit from each other, and if they are divided, they will harm from each other. Yuntun Port is an important stop on the Southwest Sea Road in the future. Because Dali and Shu Kingdom do not pay attention to the interests of the sea, and the garrisons of Yuntun Port are not familiar with this, which makes a gap here. I will discuss with them, imitate the old rules of Chang'an and Luoyang, and set up a chamber of commerce autonomous area near Yuntun Army City, and provide suppliers to build goods warehouses, open workshops, and shops. The navy set out.
