It is April, and although it is still spring, summer has already entered. The bustling crowds have made the entire Hongdu Prefecture hot. It is located on the southwest bank of Poyang Lake, and merchants are constantly coming and going. As the capital of Jiangxi, as a

The Southern Capital of the Southern Tang Dynasty was a well-deserved Minister of Prosperity.

"The old county of Yuzhang and the new mansion of Hongdu are full of treasures and outstanding people!" Standing on the Tengwang Pavilion, Lin Renzhao couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the merchant ships coming and going and the rising heat of the sun.

"A preface to Prince Teng's Pavilion, describing the beautiful scenery of Hongdu, is really good!"

"Why did father sigh?" The delicate Lin Xiaoniang pouted and asked:

"This huge Poyang Lake has tens of thousands of water thieves. My father wiped them out in just a few months. Is there anything to worry about?"

"Although water bandits have caused great harm and caused local corruption, our Jiangxi has a strong foundation and has been safe for decades. It only takes one summer and autumn harvest to recover. Those bandits are just grasshoppers after autumn and cannot jump.

A few days!"

Lin Renzhao said disdainfully that he was only in his forties now. When he was in the prime of life, he had faced the fierce Central Plains Forbidden Army and some water thieves. He didn't take it to heart at all. With just a few tricks, he let them collapse without a fight.

, it’s simply overkill.

However, he always wanted to go north to unify the world and achieve outstanding achievements. However, it was a pity that the imperial court was doing nothing and only seeking to live in peace. The new emperor was also timid and cowardly. He was addicted to wealth and could not extricate himself. He was as afraid of Song Dynasty as a tiger.

However, the enemies of the Tang Dynasty were not just the Central Plains. On the left side, there was an insidious tiger, licking its tongue and watching with eager eyes. It was no less dangerous than the Central Plains.

After all, there are not many warships in the Central Plains, but now in Jiangling, Dongting Lake, there are a large number of shipyards, and countless sailors are constantly being drilled. The purpose is self-evident.

Therefore, since he was left behind in Nandu, he has been paying attention to the development of that puppet country. It is not unusual to destroy two countries in one year. As long as he is given an army of 20,000 to 30,000 people, he can do it. Ma Chu was destroyed by the Tang Dynasty!

However, for more than a year, Hunan and Nanping have been as calm as ever, with no chaos occurring, and small-scale unrest was put down in an instant.

"Could it be that by marrying a daughter of the Zhou family, you can gain the country?"

The court had always looked down upon the puppet country, joking that a woman could conquer Hunan, and some even pretended to let the emperor marry the daughter of King Wu and Yue, thus unifying the south.

But, how can a woman be so powerful?

When he heard his daughter's question, a smile appeared on his expressionless face and he said calmly:

"This fertile wilderness in the south of the Yangtze River is thousands of miles away. Not only the Central Plains are watching with eager eyes, but there are also many jackals watching from the side!"

"Father, did you say that the puppet state moved its capital to Changsha a few months ago?" Lin Xiaoniang said softly: "The four kingdoms of Nanping, Chu, Nanhan, Annan, were all destroyed in just two years. Although these places

There are not many small ones, but when added together, they are huge, no less than our Tang Dynasty!"

"Huh?" Lin Renzhao was a little surprised. It was unexpected that his daughter had such knowledge. He couldn't help but ask: "Who told you this?"

"I secretly read my father's newspaper, and the businessmen also sent the puppet country's newspaper from Jiangling." Lin Xiaoniang proudly puffed up her young chest and said crisply: "As the daughter left behind in Nandu,

, how could I not understand this?"

"You!" Lin Renzhao felt proud in his heart, but he still said mercilessly: "Don't be complacent, knowing these things, what use is it to your daughter's family? You are seventeen, and you are still not married, you are worse than a puppet country

It also gives me a headache!”

"Hmph!" Lin Xiaoniang turned her little head and looked at the lake where the wild ducks were swimming, and said: "These scholar-bureaucrat husbands are all arrogant. They only know how to dance and write, which is very boring. They are very repelled by their daughters riding, shooting and doing martial arts.

, even if you get married in the future, you still have to leave, so you might as well be more cautious!"

"Okay, you can read the imperial newspaper you just mentioned, the imperial newspaper, but how can you read the puppet country's imperial newspaper? Moreover, there are still businessmen passing it on, do you still have connections?"

Lin Renzhao didn't want to talk about it. No matter how much he said, the daughter who inherited his stubborn character would definitely not be happy, so he asked about the newspaper in his residence.

"The newspapers of the puppet country can be sold. Moreover, I heard that a copy only costs ten yuan. Anyone can buy it, even a beggar. One copy is issued every ten days, and it contains the news about what happened in the puppet country.

You can know a lot about big and small things!”

Lin Xiaoniang's words shocked Lin Renzhao. What's the use of asking ordinary people to buy Di newspapers? What is this puppet country preparing to do?

"No wonder you understand this and face up to the threat!" Lin Renzhao sighed at this. This matter will naturally become clear when he goes back to investigate, so he said in a deep voice: "The purpose of moving the puppet country's capital to Changsha is obvious. Have you ever been there?

What did he get in the newspaper?"

"Those newspapers said that the puppet country moved its capital to Changsha in order to better attack the Central Plains, resist the threat of the Central Plains, unify the world, and restore the Tang Dynasty!"

"Absurd!" Lin Renzhao said disdainfully: "The Central Plains has 200,000 forbidden troops. They are extremely capable in the south and north campaigns. They are just puppet countries. Why do they want to go to the north? It is just to die. If it is true, the two tigers will hurt each other, but not bad!"

Lin Xiaoniang said crisply, then blinked a pair of watery eyes, looked at her father, and asked: "The puppet country's newspaper said that our Tang Dynasty is not a clan of the Li family. Our original surname is Xu.

I want to conquer the world, so I changed my surname to Li."

"Absolutely ridiculous!" Lin Renzhao thought for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Liezu (Xu Zhigao) was originally the fourth-generation grandson of King Jian Li Ke, the son of Emperor Xianzong of the former Tang Dynasty. Because he was the adopted son of Yizu (Xu Wen), he changed his surname to Xu, and restored it after abdication.

Our surname, our Tang Dynasty, is the real orthodox Miao descendant of the Tang Dynasty!"

"As for the puppet country, they pretended to be the son of Ruizong, the younger brother of Emperor Ming, and King Xue after Li Ye. This is a bold and reckless journey. Even if it is true, it is still a remote clan. How can it be as good as ours? Your Majesty is the son of Xianzong and the king.

Hmong!"

Lin Xiaoniang was frightened by her father's serious words and could only nod in agreement, a little panicked.

"From now on, don't go out and talk nonsense. If you don't do anything right, it will bring disaster to our family. After all, I am a general, so I must be careful."

Lin Renzhao gave his daughter a lesson, and then thought that this fake Guodi newspaper could be spread and sold arbitrarily. If it were seen by those who had only a little knowledge and few drops of ink in their stomachs, there might be trouble again.

The people are ignorant and listen to the wind and it rains, which is not conducive to the court.
