The legend of the king of crossing

Chapter 363 Special Zone

Lu Xiufu and Tian Xiuyan came to Shifeng during dinner.

"I've seen your son."

"Mm. Master Lu. Let me introduce you. These two are the great wizard Hongyuan and the head of Tian Jing from the Miao family. The village where the great wizard lives is located on the east bank of the Huangni River. About ten miles away after crossing the river is the original Dali boundary. With the help of Tian Jingtou, Master Hongyuan will form a Miao army of about 5000 people in the cottage. Regarding the specific affairs of this army, Master Hongyuan and Tian Jingtou will discuss with you tomorrow .”

"Yes, my lord."

"Tian Zuiyan. In the past few days, you take some time to accompany a few distinguished guests to the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Agriculture. See if they have anything to support. Take a stroll in Lin'an City by the way. Enjoy the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River."

"Yes, my lord."

"Ling'er. Your task is to discuss with Tian Jingtouren and Great Wizard Hongyuan about setting up Hope School and Hope Medical Center in their place."

"En. Ling'er knows."

"Okay. Everyone. Everyone must be hungry. Let's eat and talk."

A dozen or so people formed a table.It was quite lively.Among the people present, the great shaman Jiang Yang has the most knowledge.Moreover, the stories of the Miao family are different from the legends of the Han people.While eating, everyone listened to Jiang Yang talk about his travel experience when he was young.Naturally, I listened with gusto.Even I, a traveler from 800 years later, feel more and more interested the more I listen to it.

Mid-July.The Ryukyu system envoy Cai Chang, who had a clear understanding of the work processes of various departments in the Song Dynasty, was accompanied by Wen Tianxiang, the president of the Military Affairs Academy, and Zhao Shunsun, an academician.Came to the Imperial Study Room of Funing Hall.

As a civil servant at the provincial (road) level.Cai Chang can be said to be No.1 in my royal study.

"See Your Majesty."

"En. No courtesy. My dear friends. Please sit down."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Cai Aiqing. You already know everything about the government affairs of our dynasty."

"Your Majesty, all the ministers understand."

"Okay." I nodded. "Song Rui. Has Cai Aiqing's return to Ryukyu been arranged?"

"Return to Your Majesty. Everything has been arranged. This time, there are 72 officials who went to Ryukyu Province with Mr. Cai. They cover almost all the departments of my dynasty. The time these officials will work in Ryukyu Province is tentatively set for two years. Two years Afterwards, if the institutions in the Ryukyu Province can operate normally, they will return to Lin'an."

"Well. In addition to assisting Cai Aiqing to build the provincial institutions of Ryukyu Province, the officials who support Ryukyu Province also need to focus on cultivating a group of local officials who can take over the job. The construction of Ryukyu Province ultimately depends on the Ryukyu people."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. These officials have already understood their responsibilities. According to His Majesty's instructions. In addition to 72 officials, [-] Tai students were selected from the Tai Xue foreign students. Go to Ryukyu to open a school. To spread the word The culture of our dynasty. Your Majesty. In order to make the government affairs of the Ryukyu Province normal as soon as possible. At the same time, in order to have a direct understanding of our dynasty's overseas provinces. Mr. Zhao will go there in person this time."

"Yes. It's just that Zhao Aiqing can't wait for two years in Ryukyu Province." I smiled. "Zhao Aiqing. I won't let you go out for such a long time. The affairs of the Government Affairs Council are heavy enough. In addition, the reform of the provincial system will be carried out. And next year, I plan to remove the Zhongshu Ministry. By then There will be more affairs for the Government Affairs Council. So, Zhao Aiqing, you need to return to Lin'an by February next year at the latest."

"Yes. The minister obeys the order."

"Cai Aiqing. After you go back, in addition to improving the institutions at all levels of the Ryukyu Province, you also need to communicate more with the people from Shannan, Zhongshan, and Shanbei on the original island. Although they have surrendered to our court, they are being ruled by our court. So you have to spend more time and energy. Let them know. Follow the Song Dynasty. You will definitely live a better life than before. Cai Aiqing. There are five forces in Ryukyu Province. You It is necessary to unite all forces that can be united. For those who have evil intentions, we must resolutely attack. I believe that in just two or 30 years, the people of Ryukyu will be Sinicized. I have said this. Aiqing said this Doing things well. Undoubtedly, it is the achievement of expanding the territory."

"Yes. Your Majesty. I understand."

"Cai Aiqing. The Ryukyu Province is the first overseas province of our dynasty. Neither I nor the court have experience in this area. There may be some unexpected incidents. This requires you not to violate the principles of our court system. The next step is to deal with it flexibly. As for the grasp of this flexible scale, I can’t quantify it for a while. You can only explore it yourself. I think that this general principle should be. Maintain the unity of our government. Develop the local economy and promote people’s livelihood and Obey the laws of our dynasty." I said to Zhao Shunsun again. "Zhao Aiqing. You are a Jinshi of our court. You are well versed in our court culture. You have been an official in the court for many years. In this regard, you must work with Cai Aiqing. Make relevant local regulations according to the actual local conditions. I will regard the Ryukyu Province as my own." Look at the first zone."

"SAR."

"Well. The so-called special zone means that compared with other provinces (roads), it has more autonomy. That is, it can formulate a series of local regulations according to local conditions to make up for the lack of laws and systems in our country. I just thought of the special zone just now. The name. Everything has yet to be tested in practice.”

Zhao Shunsun and Cai Chang looked at each other and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

"Song Rui. Your Government Affairs Council should also consider it. Maybe there will be more special zones in the future."

"Yes. Your Majesty."

Zhao Shunsun said: "Your Majesty, I will go to Ryukyu Province with Mr. Cai tomorrow. I have something else to report."

"Aiqing, please speak."

"Your Majesty, most of the academicians of the Military Affairs Academy are concurrently served by the envoys of the major military regions. And they are away all year round. The Military Affairs Academy often appears to be understaffed. I recommend Wang Lixin, the deputy envoy of the Yanjiang System, to serve as an academician of the Military Affairs Academy."

"Wang Lixin."

Zhao Shunsun said: "Your Majesty. This Wang Lixin became a Jinshi in the sixth year of Chunyou (AD 1246). He was once appreciated by the late Emperor Lizong and said, "This is a handsome talent." He was awarded Wujiang Book, Zhitongcheng County, and Jiankang Jinghu System. In the third year of Jingding (AD 1262), he was changed to know Jiangzhou and served as the deputy envoy along the river. Later, he served as the pacifier of Jiangxi An, Jinghu South Road, etc. This man is upright. Because of the dispute between Ma Guangzu and Zhao Kui, I feel bad for Jia Sidao."

Although I have no impression of Wang Lixin.But I know Cho Soon Sun.The person recommended by him is definitely not an incompetent person.And the Military Affairs Academy is indeed as Zhao Shunsun said.Insufficient number of academicians: "Okay. Xiaoqi. Pass the decree on. Let Wang Lixin go to the Military Affairs Academy to report. Let Lu Xiufu examine it. And transfer his files from the Ministry of Officials to me."

"Yes. Official."

Wang Lixin in history was a loyal man in the late Southern Song Dynasty.So much so that the Mongolian invasion of Song Dynasty Marshal Boyan also sighed.He also said: "In the Song Dynasty, there are people. There are words. Use the fruit. I am safe so far.".According to Song History records. 1275.Wang Lixin, who had been Minister of the Ministry of War, was reappointed by the court.Served as the recruitment envoy of the Jianghuai River System.The day of the edict.Lixin abandons his wife and son and rushes to Jiankang.The guards were defeated.The rate was transferred to Gaoyou.Wen Jia Sidao was defeated in Wuhu.The guards of Jiang and Han watched the wind and fled.Knowing that the situation is irreversible.It is a song of generosity.Dawei said: "I still have to die in Song Dynasty today."He strangled and died.When Wang Lixin parted ways with Jia Sidao in Wuhu.Even Jia Sidao cried and said goodbye: "There is no need for public words. That's it."

certainly.None of this will happen again.

After Cai Chang and the others left.Eunuch Zhou came to report: "Officials. General Wen Zhang is asking to see him outside the palace."

"Wen Zhang. Let him in."

After a while.Eunuch Zhou brought Wen Zhang to the imperial study.

"The last general Wenzhang sees His Majesty."

I smiled and said, "Wen Zhang, what's the matter?"

Wenzhang said: "Your Majesty, General Mo received a letter from his family teacher Taoism yesterday. Let General Mo ask His Majesty for instructions. Can you take a ten-day leave around the ninth day of September this year. Return to Longhu Mountain."

"Of course. Wen Zhang. Do you know why?"

"Your Majesty. The last general doesn't know the reason."

Yuan Ji said: "Your Majesty, it must be for the discussion of Taoism. Wen Zhang went back to observe the Taoism."

"On the Road."

Yuan Ji smiled: "Your Majesty, I originally planned to inform His Majesty about the discussion of Dao next month. At that time, I will also go to Longhu Mountain. Your Majesty. Every ten or twenty years, the top masters in the martial arts will be there. Dragon and Tiger Mountain Gathering. Competitive martial arts competition. Because it is hosted by the Dragon and Tiger Sect. So it is called Dragon and Tiger Mountain Discussion. According to legend, it was founded by a certain celestial master of the Dragon and Tiger Sect more than 20 years ago. At that time, Zhang Tianshi of that generation accidentally I got a martial arts secret book, but I couldn't understand it. So I invited three top masters to Longhu Mountain to study together. Unexpectedly, the three people had completely different views. The words were inconsistent. They actually fought. The result was a draw. So Let's make an appointment. Ten years later, we will go to Longhushan for a competition. And ask Zhang Tianshi of that generation to be the judge. Since then, a custom has been formed in the martial arts. Every ten years. Sometimes there is an interval of 100 years. For example, this time, the interval is 20 years .The Dragon and Tiger Sect is still the host. The top masters in the martial arts are invited. Go to Dragon and Tiger Mountain to compete in martial arts."

I secretly thought. "Isn't this the Huashan Discussion of Swords?"

Wen Zhang was quite excited: "Mr. Yuan, it turned out to be this matter. There must be many experts participating."

"Wen Zhang. There are only a handful of masters in the world. How can there be many of them?"

"Mr. Yuan. Who are the masters?"

Yuan Ji said: "It should be One Temple One League, Tianya, Emperor's Valley and your master Daofa Master."

I said, "Why. Mongolian Tianya will also come."

"Yes, Your Majesty. The five masters recognized in the martial arts today are Master Yunkong, the head of the Dharma Academy of Shaolin Temple, Yin Tianya, the god of Tianya, the leader of the Tiandao League, the 'boss', the Taoist master of the Dragon and Tiger Sect, and Weichen."

"Sir. What about 20 years ago. Which masters participated."

"Your Majesty. Shaolin Yunkong, Yin Tianya, Boss and Weichen's brother Huo Li participated in the Taoism discussion 20 years ago. At that time, the Taoist master was not a member of the Dragon and Tiger Sect. According to the custom, he was not allowed to participate. Therefore, he did not participate .The discussion at that time. The four masters did not decide the winner. It all ended in a draw."

The battle of peerless masters.It is rare to see.

I thought for a while and said, "Sir. Wenzhang. I will go with you then."

Wen Zhang said: "Okay. Your Majesty can just go to enjoy the scenic view of Longhu Mountain."

I saw Yuan Ji bowed his head in thought.He said, "Sir. Is there anything wrong?"

"Your Majesty. Mongolia Yintianya will also go. I am worried..."
