Seven days later, Zhao Tong arranged the affairs of Dali, changed the name of Dali to Yunnan Road, and asked Song Jiangquan to act as Yunnan Road's envoy to manage the strategy and appeasement, and to add Dr. Yin Qingguanglu.

Song Jiang couldn't suppress the joy in his heart, and he was promoted from the third-rank official to the second-rank official all of a sudden. As expected, he had contributed a lot to Xinglong!

This is the strategic appeasement of the side road. In terms of authority, it is more powerful than the Xuanfu envoys on the inside road. It can be from the second rank, or from the second rank, or even from the first rank. It depends on the promotion of the official position. Silver Doctor Qingguanglu is from the second rank, so he is from the second rank. If the prime minister is relegated, he is from the first rank.

I think back then, the reputation of Mr. Lao Zhongjinglue was all over the world. Now, would he also be respected as Mr. Lao Zhongjinglue?
If his younger brother Song Qing can also be ranked as a feudal official, then he will indeed live up to the name of the Old Song Dynasty's Jinglue Xianggong.

Thinking of being proud of this, Song Jiang couldn't help but wonder what Song Qing was doing at the moment.

After defecting to Hexi, Zhao Tong called Song Qing to take up other errands, and he was separated from the original people in Liangshan. There was little contact between them, and even his brother had no letters.

I just heard that he has been staying in Xining Prefecture since then. Even though the Feng family from Xining returned eastward a few years ago, Song Qing has not come back yet. I don't know what he is doing in Xining.

However, Xiao Anping arrived in Tokyo and entered the Royal Academy.

Thinking of this, Song Jiang was a little confused, where is the Royal School? That is where the children of the present generation, the royal clan, and even the children of direct lineage princes and ministers go to school.

Apart from the royal family, which child's family members don't hold multiple positions and are extremely powerful? Who is not His Majesty’s direct confidant?

But his younger brother Song Qing, it seems that His Majesty has not given any official position. Let alone general, deputy general and partial general, he has not even received the title of bodyguard, let alone a rank. How could Xiao Anping be admitted to this royal academy? private school?

Song Jiang recalled that Zhao Tong first met Xiao Anping and compared what he had learned. Zhao Tong was very satisfied with the thousand-character essay that Xiao Anping recited and promised to accompany the second prince Zhao Xi.

But that was in Hexi, in Xining Prefecture. After returning to Tokyo, the Imperial School was established. There were many students and there was no need to accompany him to study. Why did Xiao Anping follow him to the Imperial School?

The disparity in status is too great. This younger brother Song Qing is also not up to par. He has not yet been awarded an official position. He is just like his nickname Iron Fan, which is so useless.

Song Jiang felt strange in his heart, and then he thought that Zhao Tan could ask Xiao Anping to study in the imperial school. He was afraid that it was because of the merits of his uncle, Xiao Anping. He had merits and His Majesty was generous, so he asked Xiao Anping to follow him.

Alas, who said he didn't have a son and a half daughters? From this point of view, Xiao Anping was fulfilled. Song Jiang couldn't help sighing when he thought about this.

It's time to start a family. Looking around the whole court, everywhere, which husband doesn't have a family? Among all the handsome men from all over the country, is there any one who is not married?

He is Scorpion's daddy, the only one. He won't laugh to death if he says it?

This time I have to marry a wife no matter what. Not only do I have to marry a wife, but I also have to have more concubines and have more children. Only with many children can we have long-lasting happiness...

In the following month, Zhao Tong led his army to sweep from south to east.

Jiaozhi, Jingyun, Bagan, Ailao, Payao, Lamphun, Luohu and Champa were all wiped out, all the way to the seashore.

Surrender all the countries, city-states, and tribes on this side of the land.

In order to facilitate management, they set fire to the forest, dug up mountains and filled ravines, and finally stood on the seaside, looking at the invisible but existing islands of Java, Srivijaya and other islands in the southeast, and gave the order to directly cross the sea for an expedition.

Regarding the conquest of the islands in Java, Zhao Tao issued strict orders that he had never had in the more than ten years since he led the army.

Those who obey me will be slaves, and those who go against me will perish. The countries and tribes on this island will not accept surrender, but those who are in power, the leaders, big or small, are the ten tribes of barbarians.

For ordinary local natives, slave labor is adopted and high-pressure and strict control are adopted. How can ten families use a kitchen knife? That is a dream, absolutely impossible.

Only wooden knives and bamboo knives are allowed. Every household is not allowed to own iron tools. If even an iron nail is found, everyone will be held accountable, and the three neighbors will be implicated!
The country's territory on this island had no fighting capacity at all. The army conquered it as soon as it landed, and then rectified it for a full month and worked out various rules. Only then were the Siamese people managed, and the Cochin people were used to manage Siam. The Yu people were in charge of Jiaozhi, and so on, they alternately controlled this land and the island.

After returning to Dali, Zhao Tong established the Nanting Protectorate, and the administrative seat was placed in Daluo City in Jiaozhi. It was not under the jurisdiction of Yunnan Road and Guangnan West Road, and was directly responsible to Tokyo.

The first Chief Protector of the Nanting Protectorate was very important. Zhao Tan thought about it and found that there was really no one who was too reliable, so he asked Li Yanxian to take over temporarily. When the situation was stable, he would replace him with someone else.

At the same time, Li Yanxian was awarded the title of Tongzhi Privy Councilor, Shangzhu Kingdom, Grand Bachelor of Guanwen Palace, Prince Shaobao, Annan Jiedu Envoy and other positions.

After lingering in Dali for another half month, Zhao Tong led his army back north.

On the way, he went to the place where he was rewarded by the people that day, and he talked to Bai Zhan here.

It was easy to find a girl from the folk song that day, so he personally acted as a matchmaker, and there was nothing wrong with it. The army was stationed directly for seven days, not only to marry Bai Zhan, but also to pay attention to this place.

He wrote a plaque with the words "Military and civilian family" and gave it to the village elders. It was kept in the village, which can be regarded as a guarantee for the people here.

As long as Great Qin exists, this plaque can keep this place safe for one day.

Even hundreds of years later, as long as the Qin Dynasty is still there, this plaque can still deter lawbreakers at that time.

Then we continued back to Beijing, but this journey was slower than when we arrived. By the time we arrived in Tokyo, it was already late summer.

At this time, news came that Huang Jue had landed in Korea at Beihai Bay and had already reached southern Korea, leaving only Gyeongsang Province and Jeolla Province.

Goryeo is not Goguryeo, they are not the same thing.

At this moment, Goryeo was Wang's Goryeo, which was founded by Wang Jian in the early Five Dynasties in the Central Plains. It destroyed Baekje and swallowed Silla, realizing the so-called "Three Koreas in One" for the first time. From then on, Wang's Goryeo's rule continued until the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty.

However, since its establishment, the Goryeo Dynasty has successively claimed vassal status in the Later Tang, Later Jin, Later Han, Later Zhou, and later Song Dynasties. It became a vassal state of the Central Plains regime in the traditional sense and was included in the tributary system dominated by the Central Plains regime and spread throughout East Asia.

The king of Goryeo at this time was called Wang Gou, and later changed his name to Wang Kai. Later generations of Goryeo were called Renzong. The state affairs were once controlled by his maternal grandfather, Li Ziqian, the head of the Qingyuan Li family.

When Wang Gou was young, Li Ziqian married his two daughters to him. Yes, it was his grandfather who married his two daughters to his grandson. In fact, not only was the Goryeo royal family so chaotic, but Japan across the sea was even more chaotic than Goryeo at this time.

Based on this, Li Ziqian realized the fourth-generation marriage between the Qingyuan Li family and the Goryeo royal family. He himself was also named the Duke of the country, a highly respected minister. When a minister reaches the point of "no title", the next step is often He just covets the throne.

Li Ziqian's power was so huge that it threatened the power of the Goryeo royal family. The conflict finally broke out in the year before 2003. Wang Gou wanted to remove Li Ziqian and his in-law Tuo Junjing, but failed in the end, causing the palace to be burned. In fact, it was a palace, but it was like a Jurchen village. Just a big wooden house.

Wang Gou wanted to give the Zen throne to Li Ziqian, but Li Ziqian refused to accept it, and then put Wang Gou under house arrest. He probably wanted to imitate Cao Cao and hold the emperor hostage to order the princes.

However, this Wang Gou was not Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty. He was deep-minded and had some skills. He finally found ways to drive a wedge between Li Ziqian and Tuo Junjing. Through Tuo Junjing, he finally brought down Li Ziqian, and the following year he sidelined and merged Tuo Junjing. Exiled, restored kingship.

This royal family has become the de facto king. He seems to be a very shrewd figure, but at this moment, he was fooled by a monk. Not only did he spend huge sums of money to build a large-scale temple for him, but he also often consulted this monk on national affairs. count.

The monk's name was Miaoqing, and he was also an ambitious man. After gaining Wang Gou's favor, he neither sought wealth nor established a sect or preached Buddhism. He actually had the idea of ​​​​wiping Goryeo to destroy the Jurchens and conquer the Central Plains. And just a few years ago, after the Jurchens destroyed the Liao Kingdom, Goryeo had submitted a form of submission to the Jurchens. From then on, it was not about the Song Dynasty, but the Jurchens, and they paid tribute to the Jurchens.

But Monk Miaozhen didn't know where he was so bold and whimsical that he wanted to attack the Jurchens, and then planned to compete in the Central Plains.

Wang Gou believed in himself, and Miaoqing repeatedly urged Wang Gou to proclaim himself emperor, and then gathered all the troops in the country to conquer the Jurchens.

The result is predictable. He was defeated by the Jurchens and returned without even being crowned emperor. He quickly sent a large amount of property and treasures to the Jurchens, knelt down and bowed his head, and declared himself a minister again.

But last year, Zhao Tao led his troops to destroy the Jurchens. Monk Miaozhen had another idea. He said that the land of Jurchens was far away from the Central Plains, and Da Qin could not control it at all. He encouraged Wang Gou to go to Baishan and Blackwater, and then set up here. The Jurchens coveted the Central Plains. .

Wang Gou was moved and sent people to test it, asking Huang Jue to find out and report to Zhao Tong who was marching south to Dali.

Zhao Tong directly ordered to attack from the sea and destroy Goryeo.

In the past few months, Huang Jue landed in Goryeo with hundreds of warships and attacked from top to bottom. He had captured seven to eight points of land, and only two areas were left to completely occupy and conquer.

If all surrendered, then looking south from the island to Japan would be several times closer than Dengzhou, Lianghuai and Lijiang Rivers.

In the fourth year of Jingkang, on the tenth day of August, Zhao Tong received another report from Huang Jue's army in Tokyo. He had already marched across the entire territory of Goryeo, and would soon be escorting King Wang Gou of Goryeo and the clan members of Goryeo back to Beijing.

This is what Zhao Tao confessed. All these people must be brought back, especially the wealthy families from various places in Goryeo. They must all be brought back to the Central Plains, including their families, young and old, and even the nine tribes.

With these people here, even if they occupy the island, they will not be able to calm down. These people will definitely stir up trouble and cause trouble everywhere, so they must come here with all their strength.

In mid-September, a group of Goryeo nobles were taken to Tokyo. They only stayed for two days before being sent to Xining Prefecture by Zhao Tao.

Xining Prefecture has become a gathering place for royal families from all over the world. Not only the members of the Uighur royal family are there, but also the royal leaders of various tribes and tribes brought back by Zhao Tanan from the southern expedition are also banned there. The expansion of Xining Prefecture is almost completed at this moment. It became the largest city in the west and the most powerful pass.

Then Zhao Tong issued an order to Huang Jue, telling him to intensify the training of soldiers and horses in Goryeo, especially the navy, without stopping for a moment.

In a blink of an eye, it was late autumn, and the weather turned frosty. Zhao Tao watched the northern geese flying south, and couldn't help but remember something, so he got up and went to Xiao Min's palace.

As soon as he entered the main entrance of the palace, he saw little Zhao Yue teaching the big eagle how to count.

I saw her holding up the eagle's claws and counting with her fingers: "One, two, three, four...five!"

The big eagle looked at her with blank eyebrows, "Where is the five?" Where is five? As a bird, it only has four toes on each paw, so where does the fifth toe come from?

Little Zhao Yue said: "Have you learned, from one to five, one, two, three, four, five."

The big eagle clicked its eyes, wondering why the little master was stupid? Can't even figure out five numbers? Even though it is a bird, it can still recognize ten.

Seeing that the big eagle was silent, little Zhao Yue grabbed his paw and counted again: "One, two, three, four...five!"

The big eagle can't stand it anymore. The owner is ice-snowy and smart, and the evil-smelling male owner is even more cunning and cunning. Why is he so stupid to give birth to a little master?
Just then Zhao Tong walked in. It immediately flapped its wings and ran over, raised its paws and shook at Zhao Tong, then chirped non-stop.

Zhao Tong nodded: "I know, I heard it just now."

Da Diaoxin said, you heard it all, why are you still so calm? Aren't you worried that the little master is stupid?
Zhao Tong smiled slightly, and little Zhao Yue ran over and stood in front of him: "Daddy!"

Zhao Tong reached out and pinched her little face: "Didn't you go to study today?"

Little Zhao Yue said: "Xiu Mu, no need to study today, my daughter is teaching Diao Xiaoxia to count."

"Counting..." Zhao Tong touched his chin: "Counting is good, but it can't talk. How can you teach it?"

Little Zhao Yue said: "I'll teach daddy!"

She grabbed the talon of the big eagle, and the big eagle immediately flapped its wings at Zhao Tong to show him to watch carefully.

I saw little Zhao Yue pointing with her finger: "One, two, three, four!"

Um? The big eagle was stunned, looked at little Zhao Yue, and then looked at his paws.

Zhao Tong narrowed his eyes and said nothing.

"Count over there again!" Little Zhao Yue grabbed the other paw of the big eagle and counted: "One, two, three, four!"

The big eagle is a little confused, isn't it one, two, three, four and five? The count just now was clearly one, two, three, four, five. Why did it suddenly become one, two, three, four?

Zhao Tong looked at the big eagle and shrugged.

The big eagle's two round eyes were a little dull, and he didn't understand what was going on.

Little Zhao Yue shook her little hand at this time: "Diao Xiaoxia, do you think you have five fingers like us?"

"Look, this is one, two, three, four, five!" After checking her fingers, she grabbed the eagle's claw again: "This is one, two, three, four! You birds only have four. Toes!”

Da Diao: "..."

Zhao Tong's mouth twitched, and he grabbed little Zhao Yue and put it under his arm: "Where is your mother?"

Little Zhao Yue: "Daddy, daddy, put me down. I will tell you when you put me down."

Zhao Tong snorted: "If you don't tell me, I can find it."

Seeing the father and daughter disappear in a flash, Da Diao finally came back to his senses.

At this time, the autumn wind blew, and it stood in the wind with its head tilted, looking a little messy.
