It was late spring, and the weather in Bianjing was already very warm, let alone Lingnan.

In a beautiful village in the suburbs of Guangzhou, Xiao Zhu (Zhu Fengying) sat leisurely on a bamboo chair, watching her youngest son walking towards him with two fat short legs.

"Mom...Mom..."

The child, whose nickname is Baoshan, is Zhu Fengying's third child, but she is also her only biological son now.

The oldest son disappeared in the first year of Jingkang.

Now there is another young son, and for her who is already thirty years old, that is her last hope.

Besides, Zhao Kai’s future is different from before, so that chair is even more expensive. Zhu Fengying treats her youngest son as her eyes, whether she treats her eyes.

While running towards his mother, the child stretched out his hands and grinned and screamed. His two black eyes made Xiao Zhu feel soft.

"Come on, come on, Baoshan, come to my mother's place."

Seeing his mother getting closer and closer, Baoshan's face smiled brighter and his calves moved faster. However, he was young and had only learned to walk for a short time, and he couldn't walk steadily, let alone trotting?

I saw someone tripping under his feet and his small body leaned forward.

"Ah!" Xiao Zhu was so shocked that he stood up, frightening all the maids and eunuchs behind him.

There was a wet nurse following her in the back of the child, with quick eyes and quick hands, so she caught Xiao Zhu's precious egg. Xiao Zhu then came forward to report the child, looking shocked.

The child didn't feel terrible. He raised his head from his mother's arms and found it fun and laughed even happier. He stretched out his arms and shouted to the wet nurse, "Yes, yes."

What can the wet nurse do? She had to gently persuade her: "Young master, your hands hurt when you fall down, so it won't be fun."

Xiao Zhu grabbed his son's little hand and teased him, then diverted the child's attention. After playing for a while, the maid behind Xiao Zhu looked at the sky and said to Xiao Zhu: "Princess, it's time for the little boy to get in some things."

Xiao Zhu asked the wet nurse to take her son to eat, but she sat down on the bamboo chair again.

Seeing that she didn't want to go back to the house, the maid in the close-fitting maid saw that it was getting dark, she asked someone to bring a cloak and spread it to put it on Xiao Zhu.

The latter sat on a bamboo chair and looked at the mountain dyed red by the falling sunset in the distance, with a little wooden look.

I will leave here soon, and I will go to Southeast Asia by then. I don’t know if I can come back again in my lifetime...

Although, compared with glory and wealth and the rank of overseas vassal kings, the so-called rural feelings are worthless in the hearts of Xiao Zhu.

But how could it be that there was no nostalgia?

When Zhao Kai returned to the backyard, the first thing he saw was the little Zhu sitting on a bamboo chair in a cloak.

"The king is done?"

After being reminded, Xiao Zhu came to his senses and saw that Zhao Kai was standing with his hands behind his back, so he hurried to greet him.

Zhao Kai chuckled, "It's just a document sent by the Jiaozhou government."

"They have arranged everything, whether it is a chariot and horse guard or the itinerary along the way."

It seemed to be good news, but Zhao Kai didn't have a smile on his face. He even wanted to scold people because he felt like he was being driven away now.

"That time is..." Xiao Zhu's heart tightened.

"Just next month."

Zhao Kai and his friends will first arrive at Jiaozhou by boat, then go south by land, pass through Jiaozhou, pass through Chameng, and enter the State of Xu.

Xu State was the founding king of the eighth old Zhao Qi. His king's title was originally King Yi, but it was changed to King Xu last year. Just as Zhao Huan's title was changed to King Wu, Zhao Kai's title was also changed to King Chen.

Xu State is located at the southern end of the Angkor Dynasty, which is the area of ​​the Mekong Delta in later generations.

Although this place is a famous granary in Annan in later generations, it is a deserted land of rivers and waters in this era.

In the late Ming Dynasty, when Zhao Gou was still Zheng Zhilong, there were not many people in the Mekong Delta at that time. Otherwise, how could Junjiu, a migrant who fled from China, easily get the land and build the so-called Hexian Town Port Country?

In this era, the Song army occupied this place with no effort, and even did not use any weapons. The local natives surrendered one after another. After hearing this, the Angkor Dynasty did not send troops to this desolate land full of water and jungle.

Instead, he pointed his main finger at the Song army landing in Bangkok Bay.

There is the eldest Zhao Huan Wu Kingdom. Compared with the eldest Xu Kingdom, the eighth country, it is obvious that the Wu Kingdom poses a greater threat to the Angkor Dynasty.

After Zhao Kai and his party arrived in Xu State, depending on the situation, they decided whether to cross Bangkok Bay and enter the Malay Peninsula or to enter the Three Buddhas Kingdoms that occupy Malay by land.

It is impossible to cross the ocean and directly reach Borneo.

When Zhao Kai and his party arrived in Xu State, it was at least May. At that time, it was not only the problem of whether there were storms on the sea, but also the opposite direction of the wind. It was half the result of rushing to Borneo by sea!

It would be much easier to enter Borneo through the Malay Peninsula controlled by Sanfoqi.

Xiao Zhu didn't speak for a long time.

Zhao Kai also knew how bad she was. He wrote a letter to Zhao Gou a few years ago to see if he could temporarily keep Xiao Zhu and Baoshan in Guangzhou. When this winter comes, he will take a boat to Borneo.

But Zhao Gou rejected it directly.

It’s not that he was cold-blooded, but that Zhao Kai was touched by the pain. While Zhao Kai wrote to him, he actually wrote to Yanfu Palace, asking Zhao Ji to come forward to speak up.

In anger, Zhao Gou directly poked Zhao Kai.

Now that Zhao Kai and his group are going south, the comfort and safety on the land must be the first priority. Zhao Kai still attaches great importance to the life of his legitimate son. Not to mention who can guarantee that Zhao Kai himself will always be safe and safe on the way?

...

As time entered April, King Chen and Zhao Kai first boarded the sea boat to Jiaozhou, and opened the big scene of the Zhao royal family reclaiming the earth.

In historical books thousands of years later, later generations have compared this scene with the feudalism of the Western Zhou Dynasty.

The great feudal state of the Western Zhou Dynasty was the origin of Chinese feudal society and a key step for the Chinese nation to occupy the basic foundation of the Han area. Its achievements in expanding territory and boundaries have been in history for thousands of years, and emperors of all dynasties cannot be erased.

And what about Zhao Song's vassal overseas?

In essence, there is no difference from the feudal states of the Western Zhou Dynasty. They use their close relatives to open up new territory, occupy and consolidate new territory.

Without those overseas vassal states, without the successors of the Zhao royal family, how could the Han people truly step out of the Central Plains?

The cake is so big. If you eat one more bite, others will eat one less bite.
