According to the previous plan, if Chenjiazhuang's "rebel" attribute is exposed to the government, it will fight head-on with the court first. After winning three or four games, the court will know that Chenjiazhuang is not easy to mess with.

It is unpaid to spend a lot of effort to wipe out Chenjiazhuang, and it is troublesome to put it here, so you can talk about it.

It is similar to the initial development plan of Liangshanbo.

If you want to get an official, you will be recruited to kill someone and set fire!

The development after the recruitment was different from that of Liangshanbo. Chen Xun always adhered to one principle: listen to the tune and not to the publicity.

All actions will first protect the interests of Chenjiazhuang and will not be used as a gun for others.

But these are just plans. As for whether the future development will follow the plan, no one can say.

External factors are not under control, and there are too many experiences when previous plans cannot keep up with changes.

Perhaps Song Ting would talk to him to reduce his losses. Perhaps if he didn't talk to him, he would rather spend a huge price than wipe out himself.

But it is likely that I will still talk to myself, because according to the normal historical trajectory, the Northern Song Dynasty is almost over, and Zhao Paopu will not be able to protect himself by himself, so he will naturally choose a compromise policy for internal conflicts.

In this plan, one thing Chen Xun did not consider carefully before was: the way forward for Chenjiazhuang after defeat. He used to think about retreating if he was defeated, but now he still doesn't think carefully.

Retreat should be ahead, although this will hurt morale a little, you can turn your foundation in advance but you can maximize the ability of Chenjiazhuang's flop.

.....

“There is the kingdom of Visayah in the east of Penghu.”

This is the name of the Song Dynasty for Taiwan Island: Visayah

The name of Taiwan began in the Qing Dynasty. The Song Dynasty had very little exploration of islands east of Quanzhou and basically had no clear concepts, so it was called vaguely called Vishya, Liuqiu and other things, and there was no fixed number.

But the Chen family is different. Chen Xun has already sent people to explore the waters of Taiwan Island and Liuqiu Islands clearly. Currently, Chenjiazhuang calls this island Da Ryukyu, and Liuqiu Islands Xiao Liuqiu. He has also opened up a sea trade route from Guangzhou to Da Ryukyu, then to Liuqiu Islands, and then along the Liuqiu Islands chain, all the way north to the West Kikaido (Kyushu Island) in Japan.

The "Nanyang Chen Family" is currently famous in Xikaido. Local people all know that the Chen family will search for a large amount of silver and gold from Xikaido every year and go back.

The profits of this sea and land are very rich and are the main source of precious metals of the Chen family.

...

After leaving the East Courtyard, Chen Xun went straight to the private port. It is now a huge construction site, and neatly planned houses are being built in full swing. The hungry people have three meals a day, and the houses they built are also what they will live in in the future, so they are very motivated.

Since bricks and tiles are not available, we have to choose to use adobe in some places where we are indoors and cannot be wet. The entire private port is surrounded by a large amount of adobe, which is very spectacular at first glance.

I walked along the way, dealing with the greetings of hungry people, and finally came to the dock.

The ships Ke Lei brought this time are now parked here for repair, waiting for Chen Xun's next instructions.

After asking a few people, he came to a boat and saw Ke Lei directing the ship to repair the warship.

"You find a place and let's talk."

"Okay!" Ke Lei responded, then quickly explained to his subordinates a few words before putting down the tools in his hand and getting off the boat with Chen Xun.

The housing in the private port is very tight now, and even Ke Lei lives in the same house with the other three captains. When he entered the room, there was a captain resting, and he was still an old acquaintance.

"Mr. Lang, why are you here?" Geng Shou heard the movement, opened his eyes and quickly stood up to greet him.

"I'll come and see everyone. You are the captain now. Congratulations." Chen Xun replied.

"It depends entirely on your husband's love." Geng Shou said modestly.

"You go to the house next to you and sleep." Ke Lei interrupted.

It is estimated that Geng Shou was late last night, so he rested during the day.

"I've had enough sleep."

It's only the hour now. If it's night, it's equivalent to just lying down to rest and it's impossible for you to have enough sleep.

"You go and have a rest, it's okay." Chen Xun persuaded.

"Then I'll leave." Geng Shou now understood that the two of them should be talking. It was inconvenient for him to be here, so he hurried out of the room.

Ke Lei walked to a square table inside, picked up the teapot, and felt that there was water inside, so he poured a bowl of herbal tea for himself and Chen Xun.

As March begins, Guangnan East Road is already very hot and is suitable for drinking herbal tea.

"Last time I asked you to send someone to Daliuqiu to find out what the result was." Chen Xun took a sip of tea and felt that the thirst that had been walking along the way was immediately relieved.

This task was arranged for Ke Lei for more than half a year. Ke Lei was still on Lamma Island at that time, and he has never reported it to Chen Xun until now.

"I'm almost ready to report to you. I was going to Penghu before, but I forgot it." Hearing that I was going to talk about this issue, Ke Lei put down the empty bowl in his hand, came to a large wooden box in the corner of the room, opened the wooden box with the key, and found a greased paper bag from it.

Take out the oil paper bag and place it on the square table, spread it, and wrap it with a stack of paper inside, all of which are folded and rubbed. It should be because the use environment is relatively poor, and I have looked through it many times.

"Vishya, which is what you call Da Ryukyu, is about 1,700 miles away from Guangzhou." Looking at the map on the table, Chen Xun understood that this distance was a sea mileage along the coast, reaching Chaozhou and then heading east to the southwest of Taiwan Island.

"This sea route has been clearly explored. If you stay in Penghu Island in the middle and repair it, although you will take a few roads, the fleet will be in good condition when you reach the southeast of Daliuqiu Island." Ke Lei gestured at the location of Penghu Island with his hands.

"I can now understand why you must occupy Penghu Island. You are so far-sighted." Ke Lei looked at Chen Xun and flattered him.

"Stop talking nonsense, keep going." Chen Xun cursed with a smile.

"Okay." Ke Lei opened a map again. There was only Taiwan Island on this map, and many were marked on it in the coastal areas.

"Actually, when I arrived in Daliuqiu, I realized that the maritime merchants in Quanzhou had already begun to trade with the barbarians on this big island." Ke Lei sighed.

"It's an indigenous!" Chen Xun reminded him to pay attention to the words.

"Yes, the indigenous people." Ke Lei laughed. Although he didn't understand why Chen Xun used such elegant words to describe the indigenous people who were still in a wild state, who made Chen Xun the boss: "In some of the indigenous tribes living on the coastal impact plains, there were already people who could speak Chinese, which saved us a lot of trouble."
