Xiuzhou, Shanghai Affairs.

The name of Shanghai business comes from a wine business. The so-called wine business is a wine agency in the Song Dynasty, which is a wine sales agency. Some wine business is run by the official and is run by the official. Some wine business parties recruit wealthy people to buy money, which means contracting it to private individuals. The famous 72 main stores in Kaifeng Prefecture are wine shops opened by wealthy merchants with qualifications to make wine and sell wine.

Shanghai Affairs is an official wine business managed by the Xiuzhou Prefecture Office. The wine business is located on the border river between Xiuzhou and Suzhou, on the south bank of a big river called Songjiang. This Songjiang evolved into the Huangpu River and Suzhou River in the future, and now it is a big river flowing from Taihu Lake to the estuary of the Yangtze River, and it also intersects with the canal - this is amazing!

The canal, Yangtze River, and Taihu Lake are strung together by this big river!

Moreover, through the canal, Yangtze River, Taihu Lake and Songjiang itself, countless large rivers and streams are connected together.

If anyone has ever seen the Jiangnan water town that has not undergone too much manual transformation, would he know what this means?

This means that most areas of the Jiangnan Plain can be connected through canals, Yangtze River, Taihu Lake and Songjiang, and then goods and personnel are transported to Songjiangkou through low-cost water transportation... This connection is not a "water road for counties and counties", nor is it a "travel to towns and towns" or "travel to towns and towns", but a "travel to villages and villages".

I dare not say any of them, but most of the Jiangnan water villages have waterways that lead to the Yangtze River and the East China Sea!

Moreover, these waterways have extremely strong navigation capabilities, and can go anywhere from a long boat of one or two thousand stones. This level of transportation is simply unique!

What makes people even more speechless is that it is clearly the south of the water town, but it rarely produces heavy water - because the water town not only has a lot of water, but also has strong drainage capacity. None of the big rivers and streams passing through the Jiangnan water town are Xuanhe. If anyone has lived in Jiangnan, he must have never seen Xuanhe.

Therefore, the conditions for developing the economy in the fish and rice town of Jiangnan are really too superior... Now the Jinling court that ruled here has "strong ships and profits", and capitalism is just around the corner!

However, people like Zhao Huan, Zhao Shu, Zhao Mingcheng, and Li Gang did not know that there was capitalism, nor did they think that the rich people in Jiangnan were so powerful?

Therefore, they have always regarded the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains as the task of "The Crown Brother of Luoyang", and at the same time, they regard the "River and Sea Navy" as the foundation of the country and the boat to run away.

Because of this Songjiang, which is well-connected and located at the entrance of the Yangtze River, Xiuzhou has become one of the two fundamental important towns of the Song Dynasty Navy - the other important town is the Qinhuai River Pass in Jinling. This is a key place that concerns whether Zhao Huan can escape in time!

Xiuzhou Shanghai Military Port was built as a navy's shipbuilding base and the home port of the large fleet.

In the summer of the sixth year of Jingkang, Shanghai, which originally had only one wine service, had become an emerging industrial and commercial city.

The south bank of Songjiang River, the docks, shipyards, warehouses, and yards, one by one, arranged in about ten miles. These ten miles of prosperity only occupy a small section along the Songjiang River. The potential of this city has not been even one ten thousand now!

However, just one in ten thousand has already shocked Mahmud and Usama, the special envoys of the Great Food Kingdom who came from afar.

Of course, what shocked them was not the prosperity of Shanghai. At this time, Basra and Baghdad were still big cities far surpassing Shanghai.

What shocked the two Tianfang Sect warriors was the naval fleet anchored on the Songjiang River and the ships of the naval shipyard that were working day and night... Of course, Mahmud and Usama could see that the "grenadier ships" were warships. Those ships had corners and slashing guns, and all looked very huge!

Although they did not go out to sea, there were sailors practicing on each boat - their training was to throw stones into the water!

Of course, it is impossible for such a large ship to fight by throwing stones... So these warships must be equipped with terrible "peach blossom stone thunder" - After asking Mahmud Kashgar Khan who fled to Malu and his Gulam warriors, Saijar Sultan once thought that the Tang people could magic!

However, this view was quickly corrected. Caliph Mustalkhid summoned the teaching jurists from the University of Nietzscheme for research and finally came to an authoritative conclusion: there is no magic in the world, because Allah never taught magic to humans, so Mahmud Kashgarri Khan was not defeated by magic, but by a secret weapon similar to Greek fire.

This weapon was named "Peach Blossom Stone Thunder".

This view was confirmed when Mahmud and Usama mission arrived in Guangzhou... They spent a bag of gold coins to buy a "simple version" of peach blossom stone thunder from Pu Ali, a merchant of the Tianfang Cult in Guangzhou. It is a paper-shell peach blossom stone thunder. It has no lethality, but it can make an astonishing roar, enough to scare the enemy's war horses.

They have asked someone to bring this batch of paper-shelled peach blossom stone thunder back to Baghdad and hand it over to experts from Nietzsemian University for research... If the secret of peach blossom stone thunder can be solved, the Abbasid Dynasty will not have to be afraid of the Tang Dynasty.

But when the spinning sailboat they were riding entered Songjiangkou and saw the warships equipped with the terrifying "peach blossom stone thunder", their hearts were a little cold!

Will the Peach Blossom Stone Fleet here launch the Western Expedition like the Tang Dynasty?

......

"What exactly is the Tang Kingdom you are talking about? Where is the country? What is the emperor's surname?"

In a yamen on the south bank of the Songjiang River, the mission from the Great Food Kingdom finally met two ministers of the "True Peach Blossom Stone of the Great Song Kingdom", one was King Su Zhao Shu, and the other was the Right Privy Councilor Li Gang.

And now, the person who is eager to ask about the situation in the Tang State was of course Li Gang, who was the descendant of the Li Tang Dynasty.

His words were translated into Arabic by a Chinese-speaking man named Pu Ali.

Then Mahmud, the brother-in-law of Saijar Sultan, replied: "We don't know where the capital of Tang is... We originally thought that the capital of Tang is in Chang'an, but the news we received in Guangzhou was not the capital of Tang.

As for what the emperor of Tang State is called... According to the information we have, his name is Li Tian Khan."

Pu Ali stood beside Mahmud, and after listening to his words, he immediately translated: "When the words of the Lord Shumi, the great cannibals did not know where the capital of the Tang Kingdom was? They also said that the Emperor of Tang Kingdom was surnamed Li and was called Tian Khan."

Zhao Shu turned his head and looked at Li Gang, thinking: That's right! It's your relative!

"How many soldiers do they have?" Li Gang asked again, "How many territory does Dashiguo occupy now?"

"They have an army of at least 100,000 people. They have not occupied the land of the Abbasid Dynasty, but they have destroyed the East Peach Blossom Stone Kingdom and have also coveted the land of the West Peach Blossom Stone Kingdom."

The answer to this question is a Seljuk Turkic Knight named Usama. He was originally the heir of a small Seljuk state, but he was defeated in the struggle within the state and became a servant of the Caliph. This time, Sultan Saijar sent an envoy to the "Dongtu Tang Dynasty" in the name of the Caliph. Of course, the Caliph had to send people to follow him, so he sent this Usama.

"Peach Blossom Stone?" Li Gang heard the "Peach Blossom Stone" from Pu Ali's translation, so he asked, "What kind of stone is this?"

"Peach Blossom Stone is not a stone, it is a Turkic word, which means China."

"What? China?" Li Gang jumped up immediately, "Isn't it my Song Dynasty in the east? The west...that's what the crown prince's territory is, right?"

"No, no, no..." Pu Ali immediately explained, "No, no... It was the Khan of the Black Khan Uighur who had always called himself a peach blossom stone khan, so the Western Regions regarded the Black Khan Uighur as the Peach Blossom Stone Kingdom."

"Isn't this an impersonation? The Black Khan Uighurs dared to steal the name of China, which is really hateful!" Zhao Shu nodded, "No wonder the Tang Dynasty wanted to destroy this country! But what is the origin of this Tang Kingdom... The court must also find out. If this country is like the Black Khan Uighurs, it is used to impersonate the name of the Tang Dynasty, then it must be changed quickly to avoid misunderstandings. If they are the real Tang Dynasty, then... our Song Dynasty can join forces with the Dashi!"

Pu Ali did not translate immediately, but asked, "The king means that I, the Song Dynasty, can I join forces with the Great Food Kingdom to attack the Tang Dynasty together?"

Zhao Shu nodded, "Of course... there is no day, no two kings in the people! The crown prince will not tolerate this Tang Kingdom. However, it is not enough to rely on the one-sided words of the Great Cannibal. Our court has to send an envoy to the Great Tank to find out the truth. If it is found out, the court can give the Great Tank Kingdom some firearms."

Pu Ali was overjoyed when he heard this, so he said to the two envoys of the Great Food Kingdom: "His Royal Highness of the Song Dynasty said that as long as one of the Great Tang was really fighting with the Caliph, their Song Kingdom would be willing to help the Caliph resist the Tang Kingdom... and he could also give the Caliph some blow-out pots!"

"That Tang Dynasty is of course true!" Mahmud is one of the heirs of the Western Taohua Stone Kingdom. Of course, he likes that the Song Dynasty can take action against the Tang Dynasty. Otherwise, the Western Taohua Stone will be over soon, and he will have no hope of becoming a "sick khan" at that time.

Zhao Shu said: "It's really not true. We have to see it before our people will know... We will send a delegation to the Dashi Country and take the sea to Dashi Country. However, the Dashi Country is far away and our people may not know the road. I'm afraid it will take a few years to reach it!"

Pu Ali quickly translated his words into Arabic.

Of course, Mahmud couldn't wait for a few years, and he hurriedly said: "It won't take a few years... If you have a good wind, you can reach Baghdad in at most 6 months."
