Chapter 2446 2122. Finally going to sea
Zhong Jian didn't speak anymore, so the matter was settled.
Zhao Dongting trusts the ministers here, their loyalty and their abilities.
He smiled and said, "In two days, I will set out for North America."
These words shocked everyone again, and Lu Xiufu said, "So hasty?"
Zhao Dongting said: "It is better to go early than late, go back early.
I have brought back several entourages from Wudingtang, and have already made Di Jiejun ready, so you don’t have to worry.”
Liu Xikuang's Dijie Army has been stationed in Zaidongsha Islands and is also the guardian of that sea area.
The official fleet of the Song Dynasty court went to North America and South America, and they have always been escorted by them.
No accident has happened over the years, and I think it is not an accident.
Everyone just smiled bitterly.
It seems that the emperor has been planning for some time when he wants to go to North America.
Two days passed soon.
It was early in the morning, Xu He, Qingshan, Jian Shisi, and Li Yannan and Li cousins went outside Zhao Dongting's bedroom.
This is the person from Wudingtang that Zhao Dongting planned to take to North America.
Of course, there is a reason why Xu He from Hongye Valley was chosen instead of Jun Tianfang.
In the Wuding Hall, someone you trust the most must be kept, and this person must be Jun Tianfang.
Anyway, Xu He is Bai Yuchan’s father-in-law, and Zhao Dongting is too lazy to be polite to him.
Furthermore, Xu He definitely wanted to be closer to Zhao Dongting.
"emperor."
Zhao Dongting walked out of the bedroom in casual clothes, and several people hurriedly saluted him.
Zhao Dongting smiled and said, "Look at Chongzheng Palace."
He said that he would bring the real money.
At this time, the real gold should have been waiting in Chongzheng Hall.
The crowd went outside Chongzheng Hall.
Because the morning court had been cancelled, it was quite deserted outside Chongzheng Hall at this time.
True gold was indeed waiting here, and there was a man who was already old next to him, the old eunuch Kong Yuanzhou.
Zhao Dongting was not surprised by Kong Yuanzhou's appearance.
Although this old eunuch volunteered to be a "patriarch guard" in the library, he went out far away and had no reason not to guard him.
In terms of loyalty, Zhao Dongting had to admire Kong Yuanzhou from the bottom of his heart.
He was not nervous about this. If he wanted to take his life, Kong Yuanzhou would have taken action long ago.
After living in the palace for these days, there are countless opportunities.
No one can stop a man like Kong Yuanzhou.
However, Xu He and others showed some nervousness.
Although Kong Yuanzhou is like an old turtle, not showing any mountain or leaking, it is difficult for people who have seen his true strength to maintain a normal mind in front of him.
"My true gold bows to the emperor."
Zhen Jin was as respectful and alienated to Zhao Dongting as always.
And Kong Yuanzhou was still half-closing his eyes, looking like he was asleep.
"King Wenren is exempt from gifts."
Zhao Dongting smiled and said to Zhen Jin, looking at Kong Yuanzhou again, "Let's go now!"
"yes."
The real gold agreed.
Then the crowd went out of the palace.
At the entrance of the palace, there were already guards readying horses.
All are sweat-blooded BMWs brought from the grassland.
"Driving!Driving!"
The sound of slapping horses started, and several riders rushed towards the east gate of Changsha City.
The horse's hooves flew on the bluestone floor, making a thud.
Among the group, except for real gold, even the brothers Li Yannan and Li Tanggui, who had the lowest cultivation level, had already had the cultivation level in the late stage of the Shangyuan Festival.
The speed of traveling is naturally fast.
However, in just a few days, a few people appeared on Haojing Island.
Liu Xikuang and the soldiers of Dijie's army were waiting again.
Ten large warships are moored at the port of Haojing Island.
Zhao Dongting's intention to Liu Xikuang was to lead two thousand elite troops to North America.
With so many troops, they are definitely rampant at sea.
On Haojing Island, Zhao Dongting and others rested for a day.
Today, Haojing Island is no longer the deserted island it used to be. It is crowded and lively, and is ranked alongside Jiulong as the two pearls of the Song Dynasty.
Although the area is far less than that of Qiongzhou Island, due to its special geographical environment, these two islands have become the largest harbor cities in the Song Dynasty.
Countless voyage vendors from south to north and the Song Dynasty had to pass here for trade, and taxes were definitely astronomical.
The imperial court collected part of it, and the rest was enough to make the two islands develop rapidly.
In just a few years, the prosperity of Haojing Island and Kowloon Island can already be as prosperous as developed cities in the mainland.
The next day, ten warships went out to sea and sailed towards North America.
There were many caravans of merchant ships following behind.
They actually have guard ships, but it is of course much safer to be able to follow the warships.
Zhao Dongting did not let Liu Xikuang stop him, and these merchant ships would not pose any threat to him.
At this time, the news that the emperor went to North America to "vacation" also spread in the Song Dynasty.
This was something that could not be hidden, and Zhao Dongting did not intend to hide it from it.
Chapter completed!
