In February, spring is warm and flowers bloom.

The continuous drizzle in western Guangdong adds a bit of unique softness to the south.

Haimen Town, located east of Jiaozhi, is today Haipang City in Vietnam. It is located above the Red River Delta, with Tushan on the left and Halong Bay on the right, forming a unique barrier. If the entire Jiaozhou is described as a house, Haimen Town is the entrance to the house. Since the Kaihuang period, fishing port villages have begun to appear, becoming an important place that connects overseas.

In the fourth year of Wude, Li Yanqing officially accepted Jiaozhou.

The next year, he moved the Annan Governor's Office from Yongzhou to Jiaozhi, officially establishing his dominance in the Lingnan region in western Guangdong.

However, at that time, this dominance was only nominal dominance.

Luo Dou's Hei Li was quite powerful in western Guangdong. Li Yanqing did not want to have conflicts with Luo Dou, so he took the initiative to give in, withdrew from Yongzhou and Qinzhou, and instead set up the Governor's Office in Jiaozhi, which also showed Luo Dou that he had no intention of touching the interests of Hei Li people.

In fact, this seems to be a cowardly concession, but it limits the development of black li to the two states.

Especially after Fang Xuanling became the general manager of Hongzhou, his sphere of influence was adjacent to Lingnan, which could effectively put pressure on the Hei Li people. Although Luo Dou occupied the two states, it was difficult to achieve greater development. After all, the Hei Li people could not control the Yunnan and Guizhou west of western Guangdong. Although the local lie officials were related to the Hei Li people, they would never allow Luo Dou to cross the boundary without authorization...

Feng Ann, east of western Guangdong, is even a giant that black slang people dare not provoke.

The Feng family's power was originally greater than that of Hei Li, and now he has joined Li Tang, and Feng Ang was even appointed as the governor of Hezhou and was also the governor of the Eight Prefectures. At first glance, Luo Dou's "Li Wang" has a far better reputation than Feng Ang. But the problem is that he, the Li Wang, is just a Li Wang of the two states. Who would admit it except the Li people in western Guangdong? Even in western Guangdong, no one is convinced by Luo Dou.

On the other hand, although Feng Ang was not King Li, he was like King Li in eastern Guangdong.

The most important thing is that his title of governor of the Eight Prefectures was officially granted by the imperial court. Officially speaking, Feng Ang is undoubtedly more formal, far from being a comparison of the lie king like Luo Dou who has no real power. Even if the court admits that Luo Dou is the lie king, it does not give him any sufficient benefits. This may not be revealed at the beginning... But as time went by, Feng Ang's erosion of western Guangdong began to increase, and Luo Dou gradually became a little unstoppable from the beginning, and he was at a disadvantage.

At the end of the fifth year of Wude, when the situation in Lingnan had basically stabilized, everyone's attention was focused on the battle of the Liaozi army in Yunnan and Guizhou. At that time, the situation in the Central Plains was also very complicated, but for people in Lingnan, the war of the Liaozi army was undoubtedly more attractive. The reason is very simple, because the battle of the Liaozi army was almost a brand new combat mode.

A group of soldiers without any identity, without any name, fight for money only...

This is very different from the "famous division" respected in Chinese history. Whether it is Feng Ang or Luo Dou, they no longer appear as the head coach, but as collaborators of the Dragoon, watching the battle quietly.

This is a brand new profit model for Feng Ang and others. As for the wealth plundered after the final capture of the Liaozi army, more than half of the wealth will belong to Feng Anglo Dou. The rest will belong to the slang warriors.

During the first battle of the Liaozi army, Luo Dou sent eight thousand Bai Li and Feng Ang sent three thousand Li soldiers.

The result was a great victory, causing half of the soldiers to take the opportunity to buy back their free body, while Feng Ang, Luo Dou and others made great gains.

Subsequently, Li Yanqing ordered a comprehensive offensive against his subordinates.

Luo Dou gathered more than 20,000 people at once for Li Yanqing to dispatch; Feng Ang also mobilized nearly 10,000 soldiers from the island to conquer his subordinates.

So, 30,000 more soldiers were added to Li Yanqing's hands.

These 30,000 people began to be brainwashed as Maitreya, who was in white clothes, joined the army of Maitreya.

The various concepts accepted in the past are ultimately not as cost-effective as real money.

In the sixth year of Wude, Li Yanqing was invited by the king of Zhenla Kingdom, and the dragon cavalry went on an expedition again. Luo Dou's Hei Li tribe also began to ask to join the ranks of mercenaries. While Li Yanqing was constantly dividing Luo Dou's forces, he also asked Fang Xuanling to increase the migration of Han people to the Lingnan region. To this end, Li Yanqing also gave many preferential conditions, such as land gifts, tax reductions, etc.

In the same year, Li Yanqing ordered the construction of Haimen Port in Haimen Town and began to strengthen external contacts...

At the end of the land is the ocean!

Only by occupying the ocean can you master the future!

However, not many people can understand Li Yanqing's idea of ​​sailing. Not to mention the remote area of ​​Lingnan, even in the Central Plains, I am afraid that in addition to Xu Shiji and Changsun Wuji, two friends who have been with him since childhood, even Xue Shou Du Ruhui could not accept it.

Fortunately, Li Yanqing still has a Qilin Pavilion in his hand, and he has enough time to instill his thoughts in people.

This generation may be unlikely...

But for the next generation, as time goes by, there will definitely be people and more people who will understand him. Of course, these ideas only exist in his head. Apart from Duoduo, the company chief Sun Wugui and Pei Cuiyun didn't know.

This is not because Li Yanqing is alienated from Changsun Wugui and Pei Cuiyun, but because Duoduo has been with him for the longest time. The two can be said to have been together since childhood. Although they were separated for a while later, if they were the most affected, it must be Yuwenduo. He has heard Li Yanqing's strange stories since childhood. Although he didn't say anything, he always regarded Li Yanqing as the most knowledgeable person in his heart. Many things Li Yanqing said, maybe Wugui and Pei Cuiyun didn't understand, but Duoduo must understand.

Perhaps, this is what is called a heart-to-heart relationship!

In short, Li Yanqing's construction of Haimen Port had a huge impact on the entire western Guangdong and even Lingnan.

Many people who had gained freedom in the Dragon Cavalry Army went to Jiaozhou to buy property, thus bringing a large population to Jiaozhou.

These people have gained real benefits from Li Yanqing.

So when dealing with Li Yanqing, he is naturally extremely determined...

As the population of Jiaozhou gradually increased, the port of Haimen Town gradually improved, and a huge harbor trading center quietly rose in Jiaozhou.

Of course, the targets of marine trade in Haimen Town at this time were still concentrated in the Nanyang area.

At the end of the sixth year of Wude, Li Yanqing secretly sent Liu Qing as an envoy, led a fleet, contacted the Xiao Sui court, who had just gained a foothold in Borneo, and established a secret trade network. Li Yanqing transported Xiao Sui's urgently needed materials through the port of Haimen Town; at the same time, Xiao Sui also transported a large number of Nanyang specialties to Jiaozhou through the port of Haimen Town.

A huge interest group was established inadvertently.

In the seventh year of Wude, with the further development of Jiaozhou, Li Yanqing finally decided to pull out the last nail located in western Guangdong.

Just when the Yang Wengan Rebellion occurred, Yan Qing lured and killed Luo Dou and completely unified western Guangdong.

At this time, Fang Xuanling also increased the population transport to western Guangdong, making western Guangdong gradually a real place for slang Han to live together.

Li Yanqing's dominance in the south gradually began to become clear.

Li Daoxuan, the governor of Jingzhou, Fang Xuanling, the governor of Hongzhou, and the new governor of Rongzhou (and Yunnan and Guizhou), Dou Gui, came to take office from Chengdu to form a huge interest group that dominated the Minshu in Jiangyou. Li Yanqing's eyes also turned to Chang'an...

"Prince, what does the imperial court send someone here at this time mean?"

At the port of Haimen Town, a luxurious sea boat slowly sailed in.

Crowded outside the harbor, the ships waiting to enter the harbor, saw the black Qilin Crown stuck on the deck of the seaboat and immediately gave up the access.

The black qilin is a unique symbol of the Annan Governor's Office.

It not only represents the Annan Governor's Office, but also represents the Henan King Li Yanqing.

Since Li Yanqing killed Luo Dou, all the Lihans in western Guangdong surrendered to the Annan Governor's Office. Compared with the situation in which people only knew Liwang Lishang and did not know the court, the general trend of the integration of Lishang and Han in western Guangdong has been unstoppable.

Li Yanqing was very cautious in controlling his own **.

Instead of embezzling the Feng family's sphere of influence, he continued to expand his land to the west and south.

Although the Zhenla Kingdom, on the surface, belongs to the highest vassal state, in fact, the officials of the entire Zhenla Kingdom were arranged by Li Yanqing.

Even the king of Zhenla expressed his willingness to naturalize.

On the one hand, Li Yanqing continued to retain the name of Zhen La Kingdom, but on the other hand, he carefully concealed it so as not to be noticed by the court.

Stepping out of the cabin, Li Yanqing took a deep breath of the fishy sea breeze.

"What else can it mean?" He sneered and said, "Nothing is just to seek balance... In fact, Your Majesty always has some concerns about me. On the one hand, he hopes that I will return to Chang'an and support the prince's storefront; on the other hand, he is afraid that I will become bigger and dare not transfer me back. This time, the two major members of the Secretariat and the Secretariat came to Lingnan together, called comfort, but in fact he wanted to find out my reality."

Yu Paijun nodded slightly, indicating that he had understood the meaning.

After Ning Changzhen's demise, the Yu Pai Army was named the governor of Qinzhou and gradually stripped out of the army.

His character is not suitable for serving in the army, and it would be too bad to be the governor of one side. If there were no Yu Pai Army in Qinzhou and Luo Douxu who thought it was a snake, it would not be easy for Li Yanqing to successfully undermine Luo Dou and strip out all the thirty-six holes of Hei Li. After Luo Dou's death, Yu Pai Army became the chief secretary of Li Yanqing. After all, he was the son of Yu Juluo. If this military qualities cultivated since childhood were not good at using them, it would be a pity... He was the head coach and was unqualified; but he was a qualified staff officer. Li Yanqing controlled western Guangdong and established the Annan Governor's Office, with more than a hundred prefectures and counties under his jurisdiction, covering two major military and political systems.

As the chief of the Governor's Office, the Yu Pai Army can not only provide advice for Li Yanqing, but also make up for the shortcomings in government affairs, which is quite appropriate.

At the beginning of the seventh year of Wude, Fang Xuanling sent his eldest son Fang Yizhi to Jiaozhou, nominally saying that he wanted Fang Yizhi to experience in the governor's office. In fact, he had clearly stated his position and submitted it to Li Yanqing's tent. In fact, it was a matter of time before Fang Xuanling joined Li Yanqing. He had too many traces of Li Yanqing, whether it was the song "Lime Song" in his early years or the later management of the city, the connection with Li Yanqing could be considered to have never been cut off. Now, the six states under his command were almost all princes... Even if Li Yuan wanted to touch him, he had to be careful to avoid irritating Fang Qiao.

In addition, Xie Yingdeng and Su Dingfang surrounded the banks of Hongzhou, which also made Fang Xuanling have no choice but to join Li Yanqing.

Just imagine, with such a great power and ability, who dares to use Fang Xuanling?

Perhaps there is no one else except Li Yanqing...

"Uncle Wang, what you mean is that we can go back to Chang'an?"

Fang Yizhi followed Li Yanqing and asked softly.

"Yes, maybe it won't take long before we will return to Chang'an..."

The sea boats were docked on the dock, and a team of Suajia sergeants appeared on the dock, forming a formation, solemn and quiet.

Li Yanqing took Yu Pai Jun Fang Yizhi and others off the sea boat and bowed to Li Duan who came to greet him.

"Prince, Luoyang secretly report."

Li Duan hurriedly walked up and handed a letter tube with a fire-covered paint to Li Yanqing.

There was a unique Qilin logo on the letter tube. It was painted with silver paint, which was enough to indicate the identity of the sender. Qilin Platform has completely sank since Li Yanqing took office in Lingnan. Even the people in the Henan Palace in Luoyang did not know such an existence. The silver Qilin Fire Lacquer is a unique symbol of Chai Xiaohe, and it also illustrates the importance of this letter.

Li Yanqing took the message tube and was not in a hurry to dismantle it.

“How is the situation at home?”

"Everything is normal. Mr. Gao once sent someone to come here, saying that he was inviting the prince to preside over the land reclamation and memorial service... The prince was going to sea at that time, so Princess Duo came forward to preside over the... The elder also said that he would go quickly after the prince came back and discuss important matters."

Mr. Gao is Changsun Wuji's uncle, former Sima of Jiaozhi County, and currently the governor of Jiaozhou.

No matter what Gao Shilian thought of Li Yanqing in the past, he is now a real family. In addition, Mrs. Gao often wrote letters in the past two years, which made Gao Jian much more intimate with Li Yanqing. Originally, Li Yanqing planned to let Gao Shilian serve as the general manager of Jiaozhou and serve as the governor. However, Gao Shilian said that he did not engage in military affairs, and the Annan Governor's Office established Jiaozhi, so there was no need to establish Jiaozhou General Manager, and he only served as the governor. His son Gao Luxing is now Sima of Qinzhou...

In recent years, Li Yanqing has vigorously promoted commercial activities on the one hand, but on the other hand, he has not neglected agriculture.

Jiaozhou was abundant in rain and was also suitable for farming. So Li Yanqing ordered the reclaiming of wasteland, and the government was responsible for the plowing of cattle and farm tools. For every ten acres of wasteland, the government obtained 40% of the public land, and the people received 6 acres of permanent land. Many lieutenants hiding in the mountains were very interested in this. In two years, Jiaozhou developed hundreds of thousands of acres of wasteland, which gradually became self-sufficient by relying on aid.

At the beginning of the seventh year of Wude, Li Yanqing issued another order to open up the land.

Convert taxes into money and then further promote business, making Jiaozhou gradually a commercial city far better than Panyu.

Of course, some tough and iron-blooded methods are indispensable.

In order to increase the population of Jiaozhou, Li Yanqing ordered the Dragon Cavalry to go to the expedition to India, plunder the population of India, and sell it to Jiaozhou as slaves.

If it weren't for the inconvenient transportation, Li Yanqing even wanted to go to Africa and Europe to plunder people... Since Europeans could traffic in humans back then, why can't Li Yanqing do such a thing today?

Gao Shilian sent someone here in such a hurry, so there must be important matters to discuss.

Li Yanqing thought for a while, "Li Changshi, let's set off immediately and return to Jiaozhi."

Li Duan had already prepared the carriage, and Li Yanqing, surrounded by everyone, boarded the carriage.

In the carriage, he opened the message tube and read Chai Xiaohe's letter at a glance. Before he knew it, a touch of solemnity appeared on his face.

What happened like this?

If Chai Xiaohe hadn't sent the letter, Li Yanqing would have almost never imagined such a result.

History has long become unrecognizable... I thought the battle between the prince was a game between Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin, but I didn't expect that there was one more person!

Fortunately, I was more careful...

Thinking of this, Li Yanqing couldn't help but smile.
Chapter completed!
