Danluo.

More than ten years ago, this was just a vassal island bound by Baekje. A group of barbarians on the island lived a very primitive life.

Later, the Zhang family obtained the island as a fief from the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

The sect leader of the barbarians on the island didn't dare to say a single nonsense, and honestly handed over the sovereignty of the island to the Zhang family. The Zhang family has always liked to conquer people with virtue.

While taking over the sovereignty of the island, the Zhang family negotiated several large orders with Baekje at that time. These foreign trade orders made the Baekje royal family and nobles a lot of money. Yu Dehu even threw away the unhappiness of being forced to give up Danluo Island.

The King of Baekje even sent someone to ask the Zhang family on his own initiative.

They say that there are many islands without sea, although they are not as big as Danluo Island, but they are close to Baekje.

The Zhang family refused a few times, but they refused, so they spent some money, added a few trade orders, and reluctantly accepted several islands that Baekje gave away.

From beginning to end, no one has ever asked the opinions of the natives on Danluo Island, whether it is the Tang Dynasty, Baekje, or the Zhang family on the Bashang.

No one of their kings regarded them as a green onion.

The Zhang family later sent a fleet to land on the island and announced that Danluo Island was owned by the Zhang family on the Bashang. The barbarians on the island also became the leaders of the Zhang family since then.

The Zhang family circled a piece of land for the barbarians on the island to continue their lives.

Then the development of Danluo Island began.

They first built a port terminal, built a castle, and then built warehouses and shops here, making it a trade re-export port for the Zhang family merchant fleet to the Three Kingdoms of the East China Sea.

Many of the commercial goods transported to the Three Kingdoms are transported to the port and stopped here, and then transferred to the Three Kingdoms in batches. The goods collected from the Three Kingdoms are often transferred here first and then transported back to the Central Plains.

The slave trade with the Three Kingdoms of the East China Sea was very prosperous.

Danluo Island has become a huge slave transfer station, and many slave camps have been built.

At the same time, among the commodities sold by the Zhang family to the Three Kingdoms, cattle, horses and livestock are also a commodity. Whether it is Silla, Baekje, or Japan, there is a great demand for excellent war horses, and there is also a great demand for plowing oxen and picking horses.

The Zhang family crossed the sea from Lushun or Dengzhou with cattle and horses, and regarded Danluo as a large port of transportation.

Because of the transfer of livestock, Danluo even became a huge pasture, and the island was full of cattle and horses.

Due to this benefit of transshipment and trade, Danluo Island has become a very prosperous island. The business port is prosperous. The island is full of slaves and cattle and horses. It even opened up a lot of arable land and planted a lot of food.

Along the island, there are also fishing boats, whaling boats and fishing boats everywhere, and Danluo Island is regarded as an excellent home port.

Later, the Zhang family even opened branches on Danluo Island to process many handmade goods, and then sold them to the Three Kingdoms to reduce costs and make more profits.

It is under this model that Danluo Island has gradually become a very prosperous commercial re-export trading port from a very desolate overseas island, and even a very prosperous manual and commercial processing base, and a fishing grain production site.

It has become a land of fishing rice and a commercial port.

Even merchants such as Baekje Silla Wako have been coming to trade in recent years.

The slave market on the island even monopolized the slave trade with the Three Kingdoms. Slaves were even more prosperous in exchange for cattle and horses, silk, silver and copper to iron pots and iron farm tools, etc.

At the end of last year.

The court began to evacuate the Chinese in the Three Kingdoms. Most of the evacuated Chinese merchants did not return home immediately, but instead retreated to Danluo Island.

And Danluo Port did not stop because of this, and even became more prosperous.

Because the original trading port of the Three Kingdoms has become particularly depressed due to the withdrawal of Chinese merchants, and Chinese ships have only relied on trade in the past.

The Chinese ships did not go to trade, but they were not prohibited from coming to Tanluo for trade. Therefore, the original trade in various ports of the Three Kingdoms was almost transferred to Tanluo at once.

Danluo Port suddenly became several times prosperous.

Zhang Jing arrived in Danluo Port after the New Year, and he came from Pyongyang.

He had been in Pyongyang before, making comprehensive arrangements to conquer the Three Kingdoms, meeting with the generals and officers who fought for 100,000 troops in the east, communicating with them about the offensive plans, and even various logistics supplies.

When everything was ready, Zhang Jing left Pyongyang and took a boat to Danluo Island.

Danlu is close to Baekje and close to Silla and Japan. Zhang Jing set up his headquarters here, which is more conducive to command.

Especially even in winter, there will be no problems such as frozen ports.

"The Danlu Port is indeed beautiful. The sea here is as pure as Liuqiu, and the sky is as blue as Luzon."

Xue Rengui smiled and said, "Danluo is unexpectedly prosperous and lively. Who would have thought that such a small island now has a population of less than 200,000. It's impossible to believe it."

"How can this port not be rich or prosperous in China," said Zhang Jing, who has been in Liuqiu for two years, has a deep understanding of industry and commerce.

No business can survive.

After all, Danluo’s current prosperity is inseparable from the investment of the Zhang family, and it is also inseparable from the fact that it is close to the Three Kingdoms of the East China Sea and occupying important routes.

Re-export trade has transformed the place.

"This place is too beautiful. When I conquer the Three Kingdoms, I will definitely buy a piece of land here and build a comfortable manor. When I have time, I will come here to bask in the sun, fish and swim. It will definitely be very comfortable."

"You can do it now." Zhang Jing said with a smile. He also has many industries on this island, so there is no problem giving a manor to Xue Rengui, the senior brother.

Xue Rengui waved his hand.

"I will not accept the reward without merit, so I dare not accept it."

Li Jing is the crown prince and he is the minister.

But he was not a minister of the Eastern Palace, so as Zhang Chao's disciple, although he was familiar with Zhang Jing, he did not dare to openly accept gifts from the prince at this time.

A villa manor is not worth much money. Xue Rengui is now a dignified Duke, so there is no need to be greedy.

If someone impeaches a letter and says he has made friends with the prince or something, then he really can't explain it clearly.

Zhang Jing laughed at Xue Rengui. He was smart and understood what Xue Rengui was rejecting and did not force him.

As the father said to him, there is no need to be anxious or worried. Go and practice well. When he is ready, he will naturally pass the throne to him.

Zhang Jing didn't think about how to make friends with important officials and recruit forces. He was still young and had not yet reached that time. He now had his own group of companions, knights and his own subordinates in the East Palace. He just wanted to run his own small team.

"Your Highness, all the troops are ready. As the energy is getting warmer today and spring returns to the earth, should we start an attack?"

"How has the Chinese businessmen withdrawn?"

"Basically, they all retreated, and there were very few who had not left. They were also those who intermarried with the barbarians and had families there."

"What is the current attitude of the Three Kingdoms? Do you still have to resist stubbornly to the end?"

"These people are as arrogant as Yelang, and have always been frogs in the well. The sky they saw was as big as the wellhead. Although they knew the strength of our Dahua, they still had some luck thinking that the three families could resist our Dahua, and even fantasized about seizing the old land of Goguryeo."

"It's indeed a frog in the well." Zhang Jing sneered.

"If everything is ready, then attack according to our scheduled plan."

The sea breeze was still very cold, and Zhang Jing stood there in a leather robe and gave a cold order to attack.

The second year of the revival of the Great Watson Empire, spring.

The Korean War began.

Southwest of the Peninsula, Baekje City, Baekje City.

Royal Palace.

The 30th generation of Baekje kings, Fu Yuzhang, the king of Baekje, lay on his sickbed listening to the generals' reports.

"Prince Dahua, the Marshal of the Eastern Expedition has been moved to Danluo Island."

"King, Dahua is serious this time. One hundred thousand soldiers and horses are advancing along with water and land. We are the first goal."

"Master, we can't beat Dahua."

King Baekje's face was pale and his eyes were turbid.

“How long can we last?”

"King, once the Chinese army launches an attack, it will directly attack our Baekje City from the sea, and we can't resist it at all."

"How long can you last?" Fu Yuzhang asked.

"Three months." A general said.

There was someone next to me immediately saying, "I can't hold on for a month."

"You can find a way to persevere for three months. Silla and Japan will come to help, and we will definitely defeat the Chinese army." Baekje's kingly way.

Although Baekje King only breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he had one breath, no one could change his decision.

The generals withdrew from the palace.

A general sighed in front of the palace gate.

"Three months? I'm afraid I can't hold on for three days."

A group of Baekje generals remained silent.

Many generals had joined the war in the battle against Goguryeo and fought side by side with the Tang army. They had witnessed the power of the Tang Haijun with their own eyes, and they also knew how fierce their siege firearms were.

The strong cities of Goguryeo were powerless in front of the Tang army.

Although Baekje City is the capital of Baekje, this city also has a big weakness, which is that it is too close to the sea.

This allowed the Chinese army, which fully inherited the Tang Dynasty, to ride the wind and waves directly, and there was no obstacle between China and Baekje City.

Fuyuzhang was still fantasizing about Silla and the Japanese army coming to aid, but the generals knew that they could not get there at all.
