At the end of Song Dynasty: I want to be the master of ZTE

Chapter 135 Overseas foothold

"Xiaoshan Memorial~Xiaoshan Memorial~"

A soldier rushed into the camp with wild shouts and shouted: "The Yuan captives have retreated. The privy envoy has crossed the Qiantang River and the troops have entered Lin'an."

"We captured Lin'an"

"So fast?"

"The Prime Minister is great."

"I wish I could witness it with my own eyes."

After hearing the news, the soldiers were stunned and immediately started talking. Soon, all the noise turned into shouts: "Long live your Majesty, long live your Majesty, long live your Majesty~"

Zhao Shi was alerted and walked out of the tent and asked, "Why are you making so much noise?"

Peng Zhenlong listened for a moment and said uncertainly: "It seems that the Privy Council took Lin'an?"

"Your Majesty~" Yang Liangjie rushed over. He stumbled and rolled twice on the ground. However, he didn't care and shouted from the ground: "Yuan Lu retreats, Zhang Shijie's troops enter Lin'an!"

"Really?" Zhao Shi ran over immediately and took the memorial from Yang Liangjie.

They just crossed the Qiantang River and were still far away from Lin'an. Even so, Zhao's heart was pounding and his hands and feet couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Smashing his palms and spinning in circles, the emperor didn't know what to say.

Excited.

Lin'an means temporary resettlement. Zhao Paopao used this to declare his ambition to return to the north. In the second year of Shaoxing, Zhao Paopao was tired and decided to give in, so he designated Lin'an city as his capital.

The reason why it is not the capital city is basically to lose face.

But for today's soldiers and civilians of the Song Dynasty, Lin'an is the capital, home and spiritual sustenance.

No matter how good Wenzhou is, the emperor is still a lost dog. Only by returning to Lin'an can he have the confidence to be on an equal footing with Kublai Khan even if it is not so safe.

At this time, Yu Rushi naturally had no way of knowing that Lin'an was about to recover, but he was also inexplicably excited because Jintian Island had already appeared in his field of vision.

It's such a big island, you can't see the end to the left or right, and it makes people like it just by looking at it.

When I got closer, I saw a big river flowing directly into the sea. There was a leak-picking pier at the mouth of the river, and several small boats were docked.

Most of the houses on the shore are stilted buildings made of bamboo and wood. In Yu Rusi's eyes, they are just shacks. There are about three to two hundred households in a mess.

"Manager, this river is called..."

The translator Shi Jin was still thinking about how to name it, but Yu Rushi had already said: "From now on, all the people in Nanning will be named Wanghua River, and the city will be named Wanghua City in the future."

"What a good name." Shi Jin praised it.

His father went to sea in his early years and was spotted by the captured nobles as their son-in-law, who gave birth to him. Both of his parents died five years ago. Shi Jin originally planned to go north to visit his motherland, but was unable to do so due to the unstable situation.

Last month, when Yu Rusi went south to Zhancheng Prefecture, he recruited an interpreter. Shi Jin was recruited to go south. Because he was proficient in multiple languages ​​and knew local customs, he had become the minister of the Ministry of Rites of Nanning.

Before the fleet entered the river, a group of 200 people were seen watching on the shore. A dozen people untied two boats and rowed over.

As we got closer, the people on the boat were chattering and shouting, and Shi Jin was confused when he heard it.

"It's too fast, I can't understand it." Shi Jin complained, and then said: "It seems like some kind of king wants to collect taxes?"

"Hahaha..." Yu Rusi laughed, and everyone around him also laughed.

Countries like Champa and the Chen Dynasty have some strength at least, but you, a bandit who doesn’t know what they call them, dare to claim the throne?

"Tell them that this is the kingdom granted to King Ning by His Majesty. All the people on the island who are willing to submit to the king's transformation will be the common people under his rule, and those who are not able to do so will be made into slaves." Yu Rusi said.

Spears with wooden handles and stone, bows and arrows with sticks and straw ropes, just dare to claim the title of king, it is simply ignorant.

After chatting with each other for a while, Shi Jin said helplessly: "They say they don't know China, and they don't recognize King Ning. They only listen to the King of the Cave."

"Don't accept Wang Hua? Humph!" Yu Rusi turned around and said, "I want to declare a war with the rebels. How about Commander Chen's command?"

"The general manager is self-determined, and the sons will never lose the dignity of the country." Commander Chen Yi replied.

Although they only had five ships as their vanguard, and only one army, most of which were new recruits, they all had leather armor, and were equipped with bows, crossbows, swords and guns, so hunting the wildlings was just like playing for fun.

Then, Shi Jin jabbered again, and the savage rowing the boat ran away.

"If you want long-term peace and stability, you must build schools to educate the people." Yu Rusi said.

Chen Yi said: "Proclaim it with prestige, then accept it, and then teach it."

He and Chen Shengxing are from the same clan and have studied for several years. If the other two commanders had not been equally well-established, he would be the commander.But if you get established successfully, your position will naturally rise.

While the Savage King didn't come, everyone landed one after another.

One hundred regular troops, one hundred private soldiers from various families, and half of the sailors came up, totaling 300 people.

Before they even lined up, the people gathered around, chattering and not knowing what to say.

"You are dark and short, how can you be a wife like this?"

"Actually, if you look carefully, it's not bad. It's just these clothes..."

"When you get married, are you afraid that you won't have anything to wear? You can't keep wrapping yourself in leaves."

"There are no fields around, what can we eat?"

"It's so hot here, there must be a lot of wild fruits."

Everyone looked around and commented.

Compared with the Chinese, the savages here are generally one head shorter, and their clothes do not cover their bodies. They are too dark and not aesthetically pleasing. They just drifted on the sea for a long time and the old sows turned into Diao Chan, so they actually didn’t mind that much.

Shi Jin had finished negotiating and came back and said, "They want to exchange something..."

"What to exchange for?" Yu Rusi was surprised.

This bunch of poor people... well, they are all Ning Zimin. It's hard to put it that way, but Yu Rusi really can't see what they have to exchange.

At this time, a native ran out of the village, holding up a fist-sized yellow stone and chirping.

"Damn it, natural gold!" Yu Rusi's eyes widened and she lost her composure on the spot.

Shi Jin stepped forward to negotiate for a while, then took it and looked at it carefully for a while. It was indeed gold, weighing almost four kilograms.

"Manager, it's coming!" Shi Jin said in a daze: "He said there is a river not far away, and this thing often washes ashore."

It was originally farming and making sugar, but it turned out to be mining... It was really unexpected.

"Ask him what he wants." Yu Rusi asked impatiently.

Of course there is no problem in robbing, but for the long term, it is of course better to buy fairly.

Then, with two clay pots, an iron pot, a hatchet, and a pound of salt, the native returned happily. If he told the truth, he would definitely be beaten by the government at home.

However, many natives ran back and took out stones. Although they were not big, they still contained a lot of natural stone. As for the copper ore mixed in it... the quantity was large enough to be exchanged for clay pots of salt.

In a short while, thirty kilograms of gold were exchanged. After refining, the minimum price was ten kilograms. The soldiers' eyes were wide open.

"Everyone." Yu Rusi calmed down and said, "We have come to the right place. Your Majesty did not deceive us. King Ning founded the country. You are all elders. Wealth and honor should be continuous!"

"The manager is right, wealth can be expected!" Chen Yi shouted: "Brothers, we have made a fortune!"

"Posted."

"You've come to the right place. With this kind of deal, you can get millions of wealth at your fingertips."

"Thank you for your great blessing!"

"Golden Island, Golden Island, Golden Island, Your Majesty didn't lie to me."

Everyone was talking a lot and took their eyes away from the gold.

After appeasing the soldiers, Yu Rusi breathed a sigh of relief and discussed setting up a military camp with Chen Yi. However, there were still thirty or twenty natives who refused to disperse and kept chattering beside them.

"They said they wanted to marry their daughter over..." Shi Jin said helplessly.

Chen Yi asked: "Chen Shangshu, three hundred good men are here, what's the trouble?"

Shi Jin asked back: "Only thirty or twenty households, how to distribute them?"

"Draw lots!" Yu Rusi said: "Give generous betrothal gifts to attract the women around you to marry!"

"The manager is wise!" Zhu Bing cheered.

I chose a small hill, cleared a clearing with nothing but wild grass, sprinkled it with quicklime, and then set up a tent. As for logging the surrounding areas to build a wall, I had to wait until tomorrow.

Immigration is not easy, but after setting up a simple camp, everyone has a foothold, and then they just need to operate slowly.
