Speaking of this, Zheng Huchen had already understood. The young emperor took every opportunity to set up a plan for the Mongol Yuan, using two seemingly isolated incidents, including Boyan's construction of city defense and his own side to transform Lin'an City, provoking the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty's struggle, and then forcing Boyan to be deposed and the Chinese-sected delegation stepped down, causing the real gold to fall into a crisis of ruling, causing the internal struggles of the Mongol Yuan to continue.

The young emperor took advantage of the troubled waters and allowed his plan to be implemented. The most urgent thing was to use this matter to restrain the Mongolian Yuan's energy, so that his internal struggle would not stop taking into account the battlefield of Sichuan and Shu, and assist the Western army in successfully recovering Chongqing; the long-term plan was to continue to attack the Mongolian Yuan's economy, lead to its economic collapse, further weaken their strength, and create conditions for the Northern Expedition.

Of course, it is difficult to achieve the goal by just building a city with me, and this is only an opportunity. It only takes a closer look. To complete this plan, you need to plan carefully and cooperate with a series of actions to achieve the goal. For example, it is only the initial stage. You can use Zhou Xiang’s special identity to spread some false information to disrupt audio-visuality and strengthen Boyan’s determination to build a city.

When the rainy season is about to end, the enemy's defense line along the river has been repaired. Lin'an City is promoting large-scale renovation of the city. At the same time, it can conduct formal contact with the Mongolian Yuanfei through open and secret, conveying its desire to end the hostilities and conduct peace. On the other hand, small-scale military operations are adopted, such as sending warships to bombard the enemy's fortresses built along the river, and small troops land on landing to harass and interfering with his plan to build the city. This makes Boyan feel that the Southern Dynasty is afraid of his own city construction, but gives the Yuan court the view that the Southern Dynasty had no intention of crossing the river and expedition in the north and just wanted to live in the south of the Yangtze River.

In this way, it will inevitably lead to differences between Boyan, who insists on repairing the city and the court officials who believe that repairing the city is a waste of the country. Then the problem of cultivation and not repairing will further rise to a financial problem. The Affairs Bureau is secretly making fire, and the conservative faction who has been dormant will never miss this opportunity to overthrow Boyan. The Chinese faction, which has never been very popular with Boyan, will most likely add to the insult to the two forces.

At this critical moment, you can spread some unfair remarks for Bo Yan, make some black materials, and give them a sense of "interesting foreign countries". However, Bo Yan couldn't clean it even if he jumped into the river, and his whole body could not be explained clearly. But you don't need to explain this crime clearly. As long as you have any doubts, you can't wait for bad luck. Even if the real metal is protected, he can't be protected.

Once Boyan is deposed and loses his strong enemy, the balance will be broken. The conservatives will naturally take the opportunity to launch a counterattack and take the opportunity to regain power. A party struggle will inevitably be inevitable. Everyone has red eyes and wants to be the boss. Who will care about a war that takes place on the border? By the time they react, the Song army has already gained a foothold in Chongqing and seized the door to attack Sichuan and Sichuan. The young emperor's preliminary plan has also been completed.

Zheng Huchen calculated with his fingers and admired the little emperor very much. A seemingly inconspicuous thing, after he provoked and fanned the flames, triggered a series of events later. As for how much of the matter finally developed and how many people were unlucky, he did not dare to draw a conclusion. Anyway, he felt that with the little emperor's temperament, he was definitely not a kill of two kills and even if he could not shoot down a group, he would have to fall down five or six.

After understanding the outline of the plan, Zheng Huchen asked himself how to cooperate. The little emperor's meaning was very simple. He should keep a close eye on the spies sent to his side by the Mongolian Yuan, but he could not keep an eye on them, so as to leave room for their activities, and at least he could pass on his "intention" back. Otherwise, everyone would have made a nest and baited again, but before the fish could come to eat, they were all confiscated. Wouldn't the hook be wasted?

In addition, Zheng Huchen was ordered to strengthen his custody of Zhou Xiang. He knew that there were two meanings: one was that the little emperor was worried that Zhou Xiang would be on a whim, or drunk too much, and said something he should not say, so he should pay attention to his words and deeds; the other was that although Zheng Huchen was very favored, he pushed him to the forefront, and his personal safety would inevitably be threatened.

If there is a person who is not open to his eyes and find fault with jealousy, or if he is slap, he will suffer some pain but it will be fine, if he is beaten to death, it will be great. Besides, Zheng Huchen is in charge of military equipment production and knows many relevant secrets, which is naturally an important goal of the Mongols and Yuan spies. Now he has moved from behind the scenes to the front desk, and the chances of showing up in public have increased greatly, and the risk of being kidnapped will also increase accordingly. If something happens, the consequences will be unimaginable.

The key is to grasp the movements of the Mongolian Yuan court as soon as possible so that our side can adjust the plan according to the changes in the situation and respond in a timely manner to achieve the goal of messing up the Mongolian Yuan. Of course, Zhao Bing hopes to bring the real gold that has not been good enough for a long time in his body, so he can't breathe a sigh of relief, so he can't see the genius of immortality. After the discussion, Zheng Huchen, considering his identity, could not stay in the palace for a long time. After receiving the order, he left the palace and went to deploy actions to the relevant personnel...

Of course, you have to do a good job. Faced with the impeachment of more and more people against Zhou Xiang, Zhao Bing always gave the court officials an explanation. At the court meeting, he was asked to be cautious in his words and actions, especially to drink less wine and not to have any more virtuous things. While the officials were waiting for the following text, Zhao Bing turned to other things. This disappointed the court officials who hoped to use this to bring down Zhou Xiang and others. The emperor's few words of reprimand covered up his crimes, but it also confirmed what he said was a deep relationship with His Majesty.

Seeing this, everyone knew that it was not easy to defeat Zhou Xiang, and some people also realized that the relationship between the young emperor and him could not be expressed by deepness. If Zhou Xiang was impeached again, it would be like slapping the emperor in the face, so they were also disappointed and stopped staring at him. Zhou Xiang was scolded by the emperor and was only honest for a few days before his old behavior emerged, and he was still in and out of the romantic places with those who were good at flattering. He was more unscrupulous than before, just like demonstrating to those who impeached himself.

After the Dragon Boat Festival, good news came again, and the fleets heading to the West began to return to Hong Kong one after another. Zheng Yong, the commander of the imperial naval army, led his troops to the team and entered the palace to submit an order to report the business situation over the past year. Zheng Yong first reported on the opening of a new route, looking for the island of incense and medicine, and the establishment of overseas bases.

In fact, the Three Buddhas and the Song Dynasty had long been in contact. In the first year of Jianlong in Taizu, in the second year of the Three Buddhas, the King of Sili Daxialitan sent envoys to pay tribute to prescriptions. In the third year of the third year, in December of the third year of the third year, the royal family Liwuye sent envoys to pay tribute to prescriptions. In the seventh year of Kaibao, the King of the Three Buddhas, Xia Chi, sent envoys to pay tribute to tea Longmei. In the sixth year of Xianping of Zhenzong, the King of the Three Buddhas, established a Buddhist temple to celebrate the birthday of Emperor Zhenzong of Song, and Zhenzong gave the bell of "Chengtian Wanshou". In the first year of Tianxi, the King of the Three Buddhas and Qi sent envoys to pay tribute to pearls and ivory.

In the sixth year of Tiansheng in Renzong, the royal family of the Three Buddhas Kingdom left Dihua to send envoys to pay tribute. In the tenth year of Xining of Emperor Shenzong of Song Dynasty, the envoy Dihuagala was sent to pay tribute and was given to him as General Baoshun Muhua. In July of the second year of Yuanfeng of Emperor Shenzong, Sanfoqi sent Qundobila to tribute Qundobila, and Tubangyali came to pay tribute. Shenzong gave 1500 taels of silver and granted Qundobila to Ningyuan, and Tubangyali was the general of Baoshunlang. In December of the third year of Yuanyou of Emperor Shenzong, the envoy sent envoys to pay tribute. In the fifth year of Yuanyou, the envoys sent tribute to tribute again, and the leather socks were granted tribute to General Huaiyuan. Until the southward transition, the Three Buddhas also entered the court many times to pay tribute. The two countries exchanged frequent trade and trade, and they also regarded themselves as vassal states.

At that time, the Three Buddha Qi Kingdom was powerful and had fifteen vassal states, including Pahang, Kelantan, Riluting, Dengyannon, Qianmai, Lanwuli, and Shilan. Later, East Java Kingdom rose to unify Java Island, and its power expanded to Pali Island and fought with Sanfuqi Kingdom, and annexed the capital of Sanfuqi Bolinbang; Sanfuqi moved its capital to Zhanbei. As a result of the Three Buddha Qi War, East Java Kingdom failed and the king Mulucha. During the fierce battle between Song and Meng, Sanfuqi failed to expedition to Silan, and its national strength gradually declined, and other vassal states also frequently separated, further weakening its national strength.

When the caravan sent by Zhao Bing arrived at Sanfoqi, Zheng Yong paid homage to the Lord of Sanfoqi as an envoy of the Song Dynasty and expressed his intention to come. He was especially shocked when his king saw more than 100 warships and six or seven hundred merchant ships. He expressed his willingness to continue tribute to the Song Dynasty and provide all conveniences to meet the requirements, but he also requested the Emperor of the Song Dynasty to enfeoff the title again.

Zheng Yong had already received instructions from the young emperor that it would be best not to have force conflicts with the Three Buddhas and solve the problem with peaceful means. He also knew that the San Buddhas and Qi's king's request for a title meant to pull the banner into a tiger's skin to show his orthodox status, and to use the reputation of the Song Dynasty to suppress his ready-made vassal states and help them defeat the backers.

In this matter, Zheng Yong could not agree to the emperor's meeting to entrust him, but he said that as long as the Lord of the Three Buddhas and Qi set aside a piece of land for them in the Malujia Strait, they were allowed to build a port as a safe haven for merchant ships and a place to repair ships. In order to express his sincerity, he could first help him suppress disobedience managers.

The Lord of the Three Buddhas Qi was overjoyed and said that as long as the Song Dynasty helped him defeat the rebellious vassal state, he would meet the requirements of the Song Dynasty envoy. However, Zheng Yong knew that he had not received the will to help him send troops, so he personally united the warships and the 2,000 infantrymen on the grounds of destroying the merchant ships of the Song Dynasty and colliding with the Three Buddhas Qi to fight a battle. They were equipped with firearms and were elites in the Song army. They were equipped with cold weapons, but their combat effectiveness was far inferior to that of the small armed forces of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty. They were like slaughtering chickens in one battle. In one battle, they annihilated all the enemies, beheaded more than 10,000, captured the enemy's lords, and put down the rebellion.

This battle made the Song army famous overseas. The Lord of the Three Buddhas Qi was also shocked. He defeated tens of thousands of troops in a country with just two thousand infantry. If he was an enemy, he would probably have the same consequence. So he set out a twenty-mile long and ten miles wide area on the side of the strait. Two thousand households were under the management of the Song Dynasty. Merchant ships in the Song Dynasty could pass freely and exempted the tariffs they should pay.

Zheng Yong kept in mind the emperor's teachings and did not occupy the land for vain. Instead, he signed an agreement with his king to rent the land at a price of 300 pieces of silk and 500 taels of silver each year for a period of a hundred years. In this area, all the affairs used were officials sent by the Song Dynasty. The Three Buddhas and Qi were not allowed to interfere and enjoy the right to station troops. The Three Buddhas and Qi officials could not interfere without authorization, and they were not allowed to send troops to cross the border.

Zhao Bing was naturally overjoyed when he heard this. He controlled the Malujia Strait, which was equivalent to shaking the throats of the foreign merchants. Once a conflict occurred, it could cut off their tens of millions of routes to the east. The land rented within a radius of 200 miles can be said to be the first historical precedent for "colonization". He not only enjoyed the power of law enforcement, the right to station troops, and the right to pass freely, but also built it into a new trade zone.

After gaining a foothold, Shangguan Xi led most of the merchant ships to continue traveling west under the protection of the guards, while some of the merchant ships left behind were traded in the Southeast countries. Zheng Yong built a port, built barracks and cities on this leased land. But he did not forget the task of finding the island of incense and medicine. He personally led ten warships to search according to the imperial charts, and finally discovered this land of wealth in a remote sea.

Because this archipelago is located in a relatively remote coastal sea and is far away from trade routes, the residents on the island live in a closed environment and are still in a virgin land that the outside world has not entered, and they have no idea of ​​the value of ordinary things on the territory they have lived for generations. What makes Zheng Yong even more happy is that this island does not belong to a certain country. The people on the island are divided into several tribes and are in an uncivilized state of slash-and-burn farming.

After the survey, Zheng Yong still did not choose to seize it by force, but traded with various tribes on the island by bartering. The tribes with less contact with the outside world naturally couldn't put down the exquisite porcelain and silk of the Song Dynasty, and these only needed to be exchanged with the fruits that could be picked everywhere.

Zheng Yong did not know how to trade, but gave it to the merchants who passed the trade. With these people's wiseness, they naturally knew how to use their advantages to satisfy both sides, and bought more than 2.5 million kilograms of various incense medicines at extremely low prices. This is only part of the output on those inhabited islands, and there is still a lot of potential to be tapped.

When the next trade wind period arrives, Shangguan Xi's fleet returns to sail. When they find out, they immediately divide some medium-sized merchant ships and continue to purchase large quantities of incense medicine on various islands. When the next flight period arrives, they can traffic a large amount of incense medicine to the west to make higher profits. So they return to the country with cargo and a large amount of incense medicine to report good news to the emperor.

Zhao Bing was surprised and breathed a sigh of relief. The arrival of these incense medicines could greatly alleviate his financial difficulties, but what made him more interested was another thing that Zheng Yong returned. On the way back from Nanyang, they saw that the Siam Kingdom from Haikou to Guocheng was 2,400 miles long, with large trees and lush forests on the banks, and the wood was solid and suitable for boats.
