Great Song Pirate

Chapter 449 Bad news

Since I don't want to fight anymore, I always have to say something. Both Champa Kingdom and Annan Kingdom dared not sell face to Fubo Army, so they both sent envoys to the Dalai Lama a few days later according to Xu Yi's request. Occupy Haikou.

So under the auspices of Xu Yi, the three parties sat down and began to discuss the truce. Basically, the negotiations went smoothly. Both sides also no longer ask the other party to give them any compensation. Even if such a request is raised, it is useless. Only the Annan people have a lot of complaints about the skeleton army occupying Dazhanhaikou, but under such a situation, they also This can only be done by default.

Of course Xu Yi knew the feelings of the two countries at this time. These two countries were feuds, and even if the war ceased, they would continue to regard each other as their greatest enemy. However, his Fubo Army's current position was very delicate, and neither side dared to provoke him, for fear Accidentally offended them, making them turn to help the other side and become his own enemy, and he finally realized what he planned at the beginning, forming a delicate balance here, as long as he maintains this balance, both sides He didn't dare to do anything to them. This was exactly what he wanted to see. It could be said that he was the biggest winner of this war between the two countries, and he simply made a lot of money.

Xu Yi took the opportunity to draft a treaty, which clarified their control over Toulon and Dazhan Haikou, and supervised the implementation of the armistice agreement between the two parties as an intermediary, which consolidated their current position , handed over to the envoys of both parties for reference, and the envoys of the two countries also approved his proposal. Later, the two sides had another dispute on who would manage Hoi An River. After entering the river, it was not good for him. After arguing for a long time, the envoy who was unable to look northward was in a hurry. Later, he simply proposed that the inspection of Anjiang River be handed over to the Skeleton Army. Although the Annan people were not happy, they had no power to control the river surface of the Hoi An River, so they had to agree to Zhan Ren's proposal, and the Fubo Army unexpectedly gained jurisdiction over the Hoi An River.

Xu Yi hid himself because of this, and laughed for a while. This is simply a matter of pie in the sky, and he would be a fool if he didn't do it!This means that no matter which side of the two parties wants to attack the opponent in the future, they must obtain their approval. Otherwise, there will be no way to cross the river. He can sit back and relax from now on!This is a good thing, they got the right to rule a river for nothing, even if someone wants to fish in the river, they have to get their consent, even fishing and sailing boats have to get their approval, cheap!In this way, just collecting taxes on the river is a fortune!

The signing of the agreement is also a cumbersome matter. Both sides have to send people back to ask their lords for advice. Finally, the agreement was signed, and the war has officially ended since then.

So Xu Yi immediately began to collect the benefits that had not yet been obtained before, and set a time limit so that the materials and funds that the two parties had promised to pay them to the Fubo Army but had not yet arrived as soon as possible, including cooperating with the Annan Army to defeat the Zhanrenxiang Formation As for the spoils, Li Yuanfeng had to do as well.

Although he also had the intention to hide the amount of spoils from the war and give less to the Fubo army, several generals who were frightened by the Fubo army expressed their opposition, for fear that this trivial matter would annoy the Fubo army and cause trouble. Their attack was not good for them, so Li Yuanfeng had no choice but to honestly order his subordinates to make a detailed list and send it to Zhou Junyu, who was sent by Xu Yi to collect, and let him count the supplies according to this , and ordered people to pick out half of the materials in the supply camp and transport them to the port of Toulon in carts. The horses also had some supplies such as grain, fodder, vehicles, etc., and hundreds of carts were loaded in the shipment alone. They were escorted back to the port of Toulon by Zhou Junyu, and handed over to Qiangui who was in charge of receiving it. This was not a small accident. wealth.

Then Zhanren sent the rest of the owed things to Dazhanhaikou according to the time required by the Fubo Army, including the gold and silver treasures agreed before, and some valuables that were discounted, including spices, pearls, Coral, gemstones, crystals, etc. Xu Yi is most pleased that there are still many crystal clear colorless crystals. This can solve the problem of his telescope production. With so many crystals, at least he can reproduce them. Hundreds of crystal binoculars are not a problem. In addition, hundreds of war elephants and more than a thousand war horses were also sent to Dazhanhaikou at the appointed time, and handed over to the Fubo Army. Hundreds of Annan beauties rewarded the officers and men of the Fubo Army, and Xu Yi simply came to accept them all. Anyway, his Fubo Army has a lot of bachelors, which solved many of his problems in this regard.

For this reason, Xu Yi specially designated an open space in Toulon to raise these big guys temporarily, and An Nanguo also began to send a steady stream of hundreds of war elephants and two thousand war horses to Toulon according to the original agreement. It almost turned Toulon into a horse farm. In addition, the 10 taels of silver owed before was converted into jewelry and other valuables, and delivered to the Fubo Army. The newly built warehouse at the port of Toulon is simply jewelry Xu Yi was a little dizzy when he saw it piled up like a mountain. Now he has made a fortune. In the future, he will no longer have to worry about the funds for the development of Liuqiu Island and the military resources of the armed forces. For him this time, the Southern Expedition Even he himself can't believe the harvest. No wonder those Europeans in later generations like to do this thing. It really is a business for money!

In order to show his favor, King Li Chao also gave Xu Yi some rare things, including several big red-billed and white-haired parrots at once, and these parrots were all trained by people, and each of them could speak freely, which was very cute. People like it, and Xu Yi is so happy from ear to ear. Now it is finally a gift for his little Sijia and Xiao Rulong. These two little guys will definitely like it when they see this thing. Thinking of this, Xu Yi I felt a little guilty in my heart. As a father, I really didn't fulfill my obligations in front of them. Since they were born, I really haven't taken care of them for much time. At the same time, I also thought of Yingchun and their wives. After marrying myself, I started running around, and I didn't really stay with them much. Speaking of which, the longest time I stayed with them was the time before I left Liuqiu Island last time. In fact, it has not been a few months, and it has been nearly half a year since he left this time, and he still doesn't know what is going on with them now!

Now Toulon has basically settled down here. Given their current situation, Champa Kingdom and Annan Kingdom will not easily come to trouble them again, and since the agreement has been signed, it is not easy for him to continue to shout They went to the coasts of the two countries to rob, why don't you have to rest for a while, it is a bit redundant to continue to maintain such a large fleet here, but it makes the passing ships afraid to enter the port, so Xu Yi began to think about his next move.

During this period of time, he has been active in Annan, and he has not relaxed his understanding of what happened in the Song Dynasty on land. No matter where he calls, all kinds of news are sent from Xue Tu through various channels. As far as he is concerned, judging from the current situation, the Song Dynasty is still basically continuing to develop according to the original historical track. What interests him most is what happened in Bianliang, Tokyo.

During this period of time, King Ji Zhaoxu sent people to the Weihai Escort Bureau in Hangzhou to find Xu Yi many times, hoping that Xu Yi could go to Bianjing, but he didn't see Xu Yi, so he had to send news to Xu Yi that the capital had already started to seize the heir The cause of the dispute was the clown-like performance of the traitor Wang Fu, which aroused the disgust of the current prince Zhao Heng. In order to protect themselves, a group of traitors headed by the traitor Wang Fu began to secretly advise the third prince Zhao Kai, trying to Let Huizong abolish the prince Zhao Heng, and replace Huizong's favorite third prince Zhao Kai as the prince. There are undercurrents in the capital, and the disturbance is very serious. As one of the princes, Zhao Xu must be involved in it. I don't know where to stand to speak. Under such circumstances, it is very difficult to stay completely out of the way in the capital. Prince Zhao Heng's side and Yun Wang Zhao Kai's side are recruiting people everywhere to speak for them, and as Zhao Xu, who is powerless to fight for the throne, Of course, it is also necessary to express his attitude. He didn't dare to express his attitude easily because he couldn't see the situation clearly. He wanted to ask Xu Yi, an expert who can be regarded as an outsider, to give him advice and advice.

Xu Yi thought about this for a while. He didn't know the history of this seizure of the throne in his memory, but he knew that it would not be long before Zhao Ji, under the attack of the Jin people, reluctantly announced his abdication and gave way to Zhao Heng. He became the Supreme Emperor himself, and escaped from Bianliang, and Zhao Heng, the later Song Qinzong, became the last emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty. He took over the mess left by his old son Zhao Ji, and finally ended up being captured by the Jin people together. In the future, he became a captive of the Jin people, an emperor with a tragic fate, so in Xu Yi's view, with the current development of the situation, he could not escape this ending, so he immediately wrote a letter to Zhao Xu, asking him to stand On the side of Prince Zhao Heng, he supported Zhao Heng, and he must win Zhao Heng's favor. He found a lot of reasons to perfect his opinion, so that Zhao Xu must not make a mistake at this time, and nothing will happen again. .

Then, Xu Yi began to think about his next move. If the matter of Liuqiu Island did not concern him, now he really wanted to take the fleet to the south immediately, and simply went to capture Mancila (Malacca) control Besides living in the Straits of Malacca, the savings will be given to the Portuguese or the Arab pirates in the future, and the current situation seems to not allow him to do this with his hands, but he feels a little pity if he doesn't do it now, so he secretly hesitated.

When Xu Yi was hesitating whether to continue to take the fleet south or return to Liuqiu Island, Li Bo returned to Toulon from Liuqiu Island. Xu Yi was overjoyed to hear that, so he immediately went to the pier to catch Li Bo and took him back to the island. In the mansion here.

Li Bo briefly reported to Xu Yi about his return to Liuqiu Island. The 3000 occupying soldiers and horses in Zhipeng had been sent to Danshui Village by him, and Gao Jun was in charge of resettlement. They were reorganized and placed on the south bank of the Danshui River, and the Fubo Infantry Fanjun was established, and they were ordered to farm there. These Zhan people also accepted their arrangement, and started farming production there without any trouble. What trouble happened, and Zai Zhipeng also got the news that his family was beheaded by King Zhan, completely cut off the idea of ​​returning to Champa Kingdom, and stayed on Liuqiu Island with all his heart, and belonged to Xu Yi's subordinates.

There were no other problems in Liuqiu Island, but Li Mutian, whom Xu Yi hadn’t seen for a long time, ran to Danshui Village on Liuqiu Island. Although he didn’t see Xu Yi, when he saw the situation there, he immediately set up a They are the branch of the Li family, and they have attracted many merchants on land to start business in Danshui Village, transporting the products produced in Danshui Village to land for sale, and at the same time purchasing a large number of charcoal produced in Chicken Cage Village and transporting them to Danshui Village. For sales on Fujian Road and other places, during this period of time, many merchants sailed here to start trading, and after hearing the news, some boats also searched for it all the way, and started business with these Song merchants in Danshuizhai. Faintly, Danshui is very hopeful that it will become a commercial port.

And Yu Fuhai, a Liao native who moved his family to Liuqiu Island, was not idle. After Xu Yi led the army to set off, he resettled his family and returned to Liaodong by boat. He began to contact his former family and friends there, secretly Under the eyes of the Jinren, he started a business, smuggling out the rich horses, leather, tendons, horns, ginseng, antler, etc. in Liaodong, and then handing them over to the Li family through the Fubo Army for sale in the Song Dynasty. All military resources were transported back to Dulong Island or Liuqiu Island for storage and use. At the same time, a group of Liao army soldiers who did not want to be attached to the Jinren were recruited. Under the cover of Miao Fang and Cai Xing's fleet, they brought their families Separately boarded the boat prepared by Miao Fang from several hidden places, transferred all the way to Liuqiu Island, and resettled near Danshui Village. These Liao people are also considered sturdy people, although they are not very used to the climate here I am not familiar with production, but at last I don’t have to be bullied by the Jin people. An Xin started to settle here, and there are many herd masters among these people, and soon took over the pastures set up by the Fubo Army in the Danshui area, and took care of the horses here. It was very appropriate. Gao Jun saw that these Liao people were strong and sturdy, so he simply recruited these people into the infantry, and used a batch of horses they had stored to form their first special cavalry unit. The problem is that their number of horses is far from meeting the requirements. I hope Xu Yi can transfer the horses he got from Annan back as soon as possible.

After hearing the news, Xu Yi was of course happy for a while. Although he was not in Liuqiu Island, the things there did not stop, which finally reassured him a lot, and even exceeded his previous expectations. If things go on like this, His strength will grow stronger, and everything is proceeding steadily according to his plan, which makes him very gratified.

But then Li Bo told him the big bad news, which made Xu Yi rise up immediately, ordering the generals here to raise their accounts immediately and listen to the order, and he will lead his troops back to Liuqiu Island immediately!
