In May, Qin Hui returned to Tokyo from Huaidong.

When he entered Tokyo, the first thing he did was to ask someone to buy a newspaper.

Qin Hui, who was sitting in the carriage, read several newspapers in one breath.

He took a deep breath: Qian Yuqing actually captured Champa!

When she returned to the mansion, Mrs. Wang was already waiting at the gate. She was very happy to see Qin Hui.

It can be seen that she really loves Qin Hui.

After entering the house, I washed and changed my clothes, and prepared cakes and tea.

Qin Hui said while getting dressed: "I just read the newspaper and Qian Yuqing conquered the Champa Kingdom."

"There is such a thing, I have seen it too." Wang said.

"It seems that the Qian family has gained a firm foothold in the court." Qin Hui's tone was a bit special.

"But the Qian family's attitude towards us is very cold," Wang said. "We visited several times, but nothing happened."

Qin Hui turned to look at Wang and said, "What do you think the future of the Qian family will be like?"

Wang thought for a moment and then said: "Although Zhao Chen was deposed, the queen also gave birth to a dragon son, and Concubine Shen De's third prince, Zhao Jin, will not be the fifth prince anyway."

Wang put on Qin Hui's coat and said: "Besides, now that King Kang is the governor of Kaifeng, didn't you also say that many officials have secretly made friends with King Kang in the past two years?"

"But the development momentum of the Qian family should not be underestimated!" Qin Hui's tone was calm, but his face was somewhat cold.

In the past six months, he has been solving the problems in Huaidong and Jiangdong in the southeast. Naturally, he has killed many people, and he has added some chilling air to his body.

"Isn't it just to win a Champa Kingdom?" Wang said disdainfully, "That place is just a remote wasteland, a foreign land, not worth mentioning. If Qian Yuqing takes back the Yanyun Sixteenth Prefecture, the fifth prince Zhao Chun will

has hope."

It is not surprising that Wang has this idea. After all, in the eyes of the ancients, Guangdong and Guangxi were wastelands, let alone occupying the city.

In the Song Dynasty, Guangdong and Guangxi were a gathering place for farmhouses specially designed for political prisoners.

To the Song people, Champa was probably just a group of savages playing in the mud.

Qin Hui sighed and said: "Your Majesty has not given any information about the crown prince."

"Why don't you let the people below try to test your tone again?"

Qin Hui did not answer her question.

Wang reminded: "This time you have made great contributions to the New Deal in the southeast, and your prestige is at its peak. On my father's birthday a few days ago, many officials came to congratulate me, including those officials who were alienated from you in the past."

"Let's go to the palace to see the saint." Qin Hui said, "The officials are still waiting for me."

"Why don't you go back without eating something?"

"Take it with you to eat on the road."

In any case, Qin Hui is back, and Wang seems to feel much more at ease.

In May, Zhao Ning received successful reports on the campaign against Jiaozhi and the victory over Champa City.

This news may be equivalent to ordinary people in Tokyo City, or even middle- and low-level officials, as Wang Shi regained his homeland, nothing more.

That kind of barbarian land where people wore animal skins and talked in the language of birds was really nothing to pay attention to to the Song people who were the center of civilization in this era.

Unless the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun and the Hexi Corridor are recovered.

But for Zhao Ning, a time traveler, this is the bridgehead to Srivijaya.

Just say that it is a full five thousand miles from the nearest port, Guangzhou Port, to the South China Sea, to Srivijaya, and to the so-called Malacca in later generations.

Assuming that a ship of this era traveled 100 miles a day without encountering headwinds, it would take 50 days to get there from Guangzhou.

If there is a tailwind season, it can be shortened to one month.

Such a long distance, if there are no supply points in the middle, will bring terrible dangers to shipping.

Let’s just say that in history, before Portugal entered India, it also set up some supply points on the east coast of Africa, and gradually explored eastward before entering the Eastern Sea.

The location of the royal capital of Champa is directly north of Srivijaya. Setting up a supply point here will be of great help to the maritime merchants on the two Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangnan East Roads.

Zhao Ning was so excited that he stayed up all night.

Not long after, the governors arrived at Wende Hall.

In addition, there are Wang Zongliu, the minister of Taifu Temple, and Zhao Gou, the governor of Kaifeng Prefecture.

"I will see you, Your Majesty."

"No need to be polite."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Mr. Qin, it's been a long journey and a trip to the palace. Thank you for your hard work." Zhao Ning said with concern.

"I have only done my best. There are still many problems in the southeast that have not yet been resolved. I feel guilty."

Not solved yet?

If the main problem is not resolved, will Qin Hui return to Beijing?

Huaidong knocked out nearly ten million guan again.

Zhao Ning said: "Let's get to the point."

Everyone immediately pricked up their ears.

"Wu Lin captured the capital of Jiaozhi puppet dynasty. There are still some remaining forces in Jiaozhi in the south, but they are no longer in power." Zhao Ning looked at the map, "The royal family of Jiaozhi was killed by traitors. This is something I never thought of."

When he said this, he felt quite sorry for the Cochin royal family and hated the traitorous ministers of Cochin.

"Although the Li family rebelled against the imperial court on their own initiative, their crimes should be tried by the imperial court, not by some treacherous officials who committed regicide!" Zhao Ning said in a stern tone, "I have ordered that this matter be investigated strictly and no one will be let go.

A treasonous person!"

"As for the king of Champa, his whereabouts are unknown. There is no new king of Champa yet. The original officials of Champa hope to join the Celestial Dynasty and become a local leader of our Song Dynasty. What do you think?"

The scene was silent for a while, then Qin Hui came out and said: "Your Majesty, I think that if the Annan Protectorate is re-established in Jiaozhi, Champa City can be integrated into it and come under the jurisdiction of the Annan Protectorate."

Wang Zongliu said: "I think it is inappropriate. The state structures of Champa State and Jiaozhi State are completely different. It is not the best policy to merge them hastily."

"Oh?" Zhao Ning looked at Wang Zonglio and said, "Tell me what you think?"

He knew in his heart that Qian Yuqing belonged to Wang Zonglio's faction. Qian Yuqing had made great contributions by taking Champa. Qin Hui wanted to merge Champa into the Annan Protectorate, obviously to curb Qian Yuqing's influence on Champa.

This is not a matter of personal opinions, but of personal positions and interests.

Wang Zongliu said: "This is Taifu Temple's policy on South China Sea trade. Please take a look at it."

Wang Zonglio has a deep understanding of the Zhao Guan family's temper. If you want to fight for your own interests in the court, you have to come up with a practical plan and show it to the Zhao Guan family.

Like the group of rotten scholars in the past who shouted about the way of saints every day but could not even write a specific policy statement, they have either had their heads chopped off by Zhao Guan's family, or have been removed from the center of power.

Wang Zonglio took the opportunity to say: "This dynasty has quite a lot of trade relations with other countries in the South China Sea. However, according to Qian Yuqing, the most frequent trade is the Dacan. The Dacan has a great influence on the dynasty's tea, silk, ceramics, and cloth."

needs.”

"If you want to expand trade with the big cannibals in the South China Sea, you must set up a large port in Champa as a foothold for the southward journey to Srivijaya."

When it comes to fighting, Wang Zongmao's brain is confused, but when it comes to making money, a profiteer like Wang Zongmao immediately calculates the accounts clearly and clearly.
