Kou Tianci worked hard to build an iron ship just to ride on the sea.
But as soon as the results were achieved, Kou Ji decisively handed him the position of leader of the Qing Kingdom and tied him up in the capital of Qing Kingdom.
Kou Tianci ran after Kou Ji yelling and begging, but it was of no use.
Kou Tianci cried and begged to no avail, so he thought of the tradition of the old Kou family.
Trap your son.
Cheating one's son is definitely a skill passed down from generation to generation in the old Kou family.
Kou Li tricked his son into a trap.
Kou Ji has now begun to cheat his son.
Kou Tianci thought he could also trick his son.
Anyway, after all these years of hard work, he has three sons.
Two were born to Bao Qing and one was born to a concubine.
Kou Tianci's concubine is Baoqing's maid.
Dalang Kou Qing can now walk, run, and talk.
Kou Tianci felt that Dalang Kou Qing was definitely a son who could shoulder the blame.
So he ran to the inner palace of the Qing Kingdom, found the stupid Kou Qing who was walking around in crotchless pants, and told Kou Qing righteously.
"Son, from today on, you are the leader of the Qing Kingdom."
Kou Qing agreed under Kou Tianci's coercion and inducement.
Then he ran to tell Kou Zhun about it.
Kou Zhun hunted Kou Tianci for three days and three nights, forcing Kou Tianci to take back his life.
Kou Tianci finally made a sad face and sat in the position of the leader of the Qing Kingdom.
The certificate of credence for the replacement of the leader of the Qing Kingdom was sent to the Song Dynasty on the day when Kou Tianci took the position of the leader of the Qing Kingdom.
After Zhao Zhen found out about this, he sighed quietly.
Then he ordered Zhao Run, who had been promoted to the prefect of Liaoyang Prefecture, and Kou Hui, who had given birth to two imperial grandchildren for him, to return to the palace.
After Kou Ji resigned as the leader of the Qing Kingdom, he took Di Qing and Liu Heng to the shipbuilding workshop at Sunrise Pier and started building large ships day and night.
In order to build a big ship as soon as possible, three big guys who were not doing their jobs used more than 20,000 people.
A flash.
A year passed quietly.
The reason why Zhao Zhen set the time limit on the invitation as one year was to make it easier for the vassal kings to rush to the new capital of the Song Dynasty to watch the ceremony.
The new capital of the Song Dynasty was Shengjing.
The huge and luxurious palace covered the original Youzhou City.
The area of the imperial palace is fully four times that of the imperial palace in Bianjing.
The huge hanging-arch palace located in the middle of Shengjing is twenty years long.
Looking from a distance, the glazed tiles are shining brightly.
Outside the palace is the Sanyuan Yamen built together with the palace.
The Yamen of the Three Courtyards guard the imperial palace.
The walls are black and red.
Although large quantities of cement were used in the new capital of the Song Dynasty, the people of the Song Dynasty did not seem to like the unique gray color of cement, so they painted red paint and black paint on the cement walls.
It made the imperial palace of the Song Dynasty and the Yamen of the Three Courtyards of the Song Dynasty look solemn and solemn.
The buildings outside the Sanyuan Yamen are somewhat scattered.
Because the new capital of the Song Dynasty covers a huge area.
When Emperor Zhao Zhen of the Song Dynasty built the new capital, he was the first to build the imperial palace and major administrative offices, so the imperial palace and major administrative offices were the first to be completed.
In other places, most are self-built.
Some profitable shops and other buildings reserved for the Song Dynasty court are still under construction.
Most of the self-built buildings are the residences of some officials, as well as some relatively remote shops and other buildings.
Distributed around Shengjing.
Among the buildings in the central area, apart from the residences of major officials, only two three-story high-rise buildings, namely Da Song Bank and Tianci Bank, have been built. The rest of the buildings are almost all construction sites.
But even so.
Shengjing is still prosperous.
As the new center of the Song Dynasty, it served as the holy place in the hearts of all the subordinate countries.
Shengjing, the new capital of the Song Dynasty, was difficult to imagine without being prosperous.
Especially as the day when Emperor Zhao Zhen of the Song Dynasty moved the capital was approaching, envoys from various countries poured into Shengjing, the new capital of the Song Dynasty, making Shengjing, the new capital of the Song Dynasty, even more lively.
Exotic people, holding camels and horses, carrying goods on their backs, walking on the street, were immediately surrounded by merchants from Shengjing City.
When looking at those Western merchants who were leading black men who looked like Kunlun slaves on iron chains and selling goods around, the merchants in Shengjing City would take the initiative to get out of the way, and no one wanted to get close to them.
There was no market for slaves in the Song Dynasty. The people of the Song Dynasty did not know how to use slaves, and they never thought of becoming a slave owner in the Song Dynasty.
The laws of the Song Dynasty also strictly prohibited human trafficking.
Anyone involved in human trafficking will be beheaded.
No exceptions.
Therefore, the Song people in Shengjing did not have a good impression of those slave traders.
If it weren't for those slave traders, but people from the two vassal kings Zhu and Li, they would have been sent to the Shengjing Mansion Prison long ago.
Zhu Neng and Li Zhaoliang rode a carriage and a large group of people appeared outside Shengjing City. They looked at the prosperous scene in Shengjing City from a distance with emotion on their faces.
Zhu Neng sighed: "After all these years, the Song Dynasty is still prosperous..."
Li Zhaoliang said solemnly: "The new capital of the Song Dynasty actually did not build a city wall..."
Zhu Neng turned his head and looked at Li Zhaoliang and said: "Why build a city wall? The Song Dynasty did not build a city wall. That is because no one can attack the capital of the Song Dynasty."
Li Zhaoliang said quietly: "That's not necessarily the case..."
Zhu Neng was stunned for a moment, nodded and said: "Now he is the only one who can cause trouble to the Song Dynasty. Therefore, the Qingdu where he is in charge has not built a city wall.
People don’t build city walls because they have the confidence.”
Li Zhaoliang urged: "Enter the city. The officials have invited all of us this time, and we should be able to see him. Now he and the officials are the only ones who can help us defeat the Romans.
If he doesn't nod, the officials won't help us."
Zhu Neng sighed, "I don't know if he will give us face."
Li Zhaoliang sighed and said: "If he doesn't give us face, we may have to learn from Cao Cao and risk our lives in exchange for friendship with him."
Zhu Neng smiled bitterly and said: "The biggest wrong thing we did in our lives was to offend him."
After saying this, the two of them led their men into Shengjing, the new capital of the Song Dynasty.
Later, Zhang Bao from the Zhang family in Western Tianzhu, Cao Zhan from the Cao family in Eastern Tianzhu, Cao Ping from the Liuqiu Cao family, Zhongqian from the Dongyang Zhong family, Liu Boxu from the Liu family in Xiyang, Kou Tianci from the Kou family in Qingguo, Yanshan Gao
Gao Weizhao of the family entered Shengjing one after another.
People from the Zhang family in Western Tianzhu, the Cao family in Eastern Tianzhu, the Liuqiu Cao family, the Zhong family in Dongyang, the Liu family in Xiyang, and the Kou family in Qingguo all stayed in their respective post houses after entering Shengjing without seeing anyone.
.
Zhu Neng and Li Zhaoliang brought generous gifts to the Qingguo Post House and asked to see them three times, but they did not open the door.
Envoys from various countries, as well as the feudal officials of the Song Dynasty, all arrived in Shengjing.
Zhao Zhen rode a gorgeous dragon and drove him into the palace in Shengjing City. After entering the palace, Zhao Zhen decisively sealed the palace in Shengjing City and saw no one.
He waited until the day of the celebration specified by Zhao Zhen.
The palace gate in Shengjing City was slowly opened.
The envoys and officials were divided into squadrons at the auspicious time and entered the palace.
When Zhu Neng and Li Zhaoliang saw Kou Tianci standing in front of them, they looked sad.
Kou Ji didn't arrive.
It's not just Kou Ji.
Neither Cao Yuan, the head of the Cao family in East Tianzhu, nor Zhang Yuan, the head of the Zhang family in western Tianzhu, nor Cao Yi, the head of the Liuqiu Cao family, nor Zhong Shiheng, the head of the Zhong family in Dongyang.
Zhu Neng and Li Zhaoliang looked at each other, feeling abandoned.
They entered the Chui Gong Hall in the new capital of the Song Dynasty with a sad look on their faces.
The Chuigong Hall in the new capital of the Song Dynasty is very large and can accommodate more than a thousand people.
The imperial steps located in the middle of Chui Gong Hall are very high, half a person tall.
After the officials and envoys entered the Chui Gong Hall.
A eunuch led them to the designated position and stood there.
Chen Lin walked out from the side of the screen behind the throne, swinging her fly whisk, stood on the side of the throne, and shouted loudly: "The auspicious time has arrived..."
All the officials and envoys bowed in unison.
"I respectfully welcome the official family..."
Then, there was no more.
On the side of the screen behind the throne, no one came out.
The officials and envoys waited for a long time, but received no response.
Ouyang Xiu took the lead and spoke again.
"I respectfully welcome the official family..."
Within a quarter of an hour, officials and envoys greeted him three times.
Zhao Run had a sullen face and carefully walked out from behind the throne.
He couldn't help but be careful.
The only masters in the palace are now him, Kou Hui, and his two sons.
Others disappeared overnight.
If his father hadn't left behind Chen Lin, letters, and edicts before disappearing, he would have felt that he was possessed by his great-grandfather in his sleep and usurped the throne inexplicably.
Now, with Chen Lin by his side, letters and edicts, he knows that he is innocent.
But he didn't know how to explain to the officials that he had not usurped the throne.
I don’t know how to explain to the officials that his father left behind the huge Song Dynasty, abandoned the civil and military forces of the entire dynasty, and ran away with a bunch of Yingying Yanyan...
It seems that he also took some money away...
Zhao Run walked to the imperial steps under the watchful eyes of hundreds of officials and envoys.
After Zhao Run stood still, he pretended to be calm and said to Chen Lin: "Chen Lin, declare it."
Chen Lin bowed and asked for a volume of imperial edict.
"The edict says... I am grateful for the ancient Zen style and great virtue... I dare not compare with the ancient sages, but I am willing to set a precedent for the Song Dynasty and promote the Zen style... to extinguish the war between the royal family and the children, and to eliminate the feud between the monarchs and the common people.
Heart disease... Today I am in Zen position with the Crown Prince Zhao Run, and future generations should take this as a lesson... I have established twelve imperial rules, engraved on a huge stone, and stood outside Shengjing, for the common reference of heaven and man..."
Halfway through Chen Lin's edict, there was an uproar in the Chui Gong Palace.
No omen, no hint, no rumor?
Is this how the official family...has achieved the Zen position?
Have you also set the rules for Zen position?
He walked more neatly and without any sloppiness?
Zhao Zhen, are you crazy? Or do you want to be a saint?
All officials and envoys were dumbfounded.
Zhao Run stood on the imperial steps and tried his best to treat himself as a wood carving and clay sculpture.
When Chen Lin finished reading the edict, there was silence in the Chui Gong Hall.
While the Chui Gong Hall was quiet, the Sunrise Pier where Kou Ji was sitting was bustling with people.
The large study room where Kou Ji was located was also bustling with people.
There is a round table in the study room.
The table was full of people.
Everyone is famous.
Kou Ji sat in the middle of the round table, looking at the others helplessly.
Zhong Shiheng, Liu Heng, Cao Yi, Cao Yuan, Zhang Bao, Di Qing.
These people who were supposed to appear in Shengjing, the new capital of the Song Dynasty, are now all sitting at their desks.
Kou Ji's eyes fell on Zhong Shiheng.
Zhong Shiheng stroked his beard and said with a smile: "I calculated with my fingers that something big was going to happen in Qingguo, so I hurried over."
Kou Ji rolled his eyes. Only Zhong Shiheng could say such a lame excuse without blushing.
Kou Ji's eyes fell on Cao Yi.
Cao Yi smiled dryly and said, "My nephew is your son-in-law. We are a family. As a family, we should not be so open to outsiders."
Kou Ji rolled his eyes again, "You don't go on a pilgrimage to the new capital of the Song Dynasty, but you all come to me. Do you think I didn't die fast enough?
Anyone who knows, knows that you are here to visit friends.
People who don’t know better think we are conspiring to rebel.”
Zhong Shiheng said with a smile: "If you have this intention, I can help you."
Kou Ji glared at Zhong Shiheng and said angrily: "In this situation, whoever fights in the nest will have a brain."
Speaking of this, Kou Ji said to Liu Heng: "Write it down. Zhong Shiheng has the intention of treason, so he will write it down and send it to the new capital of the Song Dynasty."
The smile on Zhong Shiheng's face froze.
Cao Yi said with a dumbfounded voice: "Brother, you don't know what everyone is thinking of gathering here specially."
Kou Ji hummed and said, "What are you thinking? Di Qing, Liu Heng, Zhang Yuan, Cao Yuan and I just got together to have a drink. You didn't know where you heard the news, so you had to come over to join in the fun. And I
I didn’t invite you.”
Zhong Shiheng curled his lips and said, "We are not blind. We all saw that big iron guy outside."
Cao Yi said excitedly: "Yes, yes, that's right, a big iron ship, a big iron ship that can hold two thousand people. With that big guy, we can transport more people to overseas places."
Kou Ji said unceremoniously: "I have no interest in overseas places."
Zhong Shiheng said decisively: "Then you sell me that big iron guy outside, and I will pay whatever you want."
Kou Ji glared at Zhong Shiheng, "I won't sell it!"
Zhong Shiheng and Cao Yi stared at Kou Ji with resentful expressions, saying nothing.
Zhong Shiheng and Cao Yi obviously knew Kou Ji's purpose of creating that big iron guy, and they probably guessed part of Kou Ji's thoughts.
So I shamelessly relied on Kou Ji.
Kou Ji knew that if these two pieces of brown candy were stained, it would be difficult to remove them.
Kou Ji sighed and said: "Forget that I'm afraid of you, I can take you with me. But let me declare in advance that in order to build that big iron guy, each of our families has paid a lot.
If you, the Cao family and the Zhong family join the gang halfway, you will have to pay a corresponding price."
Zhong Shiheng and Cao Yi let out a long sigh of relief when they heard that Kou Ji was willing to take them with him.
After they learned that Cao Li had died in the Qing Kingdom, they guessed that Kou Ji was going to do something.
Then he immediately sent people to investigate Qingguo's movements.
After learning that Kou Tianci had built an iron ship that could sail on water, the two immediately guessed what Kou Ji was thinking.
A year ago, they received news that the Qing Dynasty envoys had gone to Western Tianzhu and Eastern Tianzhu.
So, the two of them decided to take a boat to a small island offshore Qingguo and waited for more than half a year. When the people from West Tianzhu and East Tianzhu appeared, they followed them to Qingguo.
They knew that this was their last chance to catch up with Kou Ji.
If they miss it, their two families will be far behind by the alliance led by Kou Ji.
So after they met Kou Ji, they desperately wanted to join the alliance headed by Kou Ji.
Now that Kou Ji agreed, they were relieved.
They were really afraid that Kou Ji would grit his teeth and refuse to let go.
Zhong Shiheng and Cao Yan spoke together, "It's still the same as before, you just give orders and we just do things."
After the two of them finished speaking, Kou Ji nodded and was about to speak, when a voice sounded from outside the door.
"Count me in..."
The words fell to the ground.
Zhao Zhen walked in quickly and stood in front of them all.
Everyone present except Kou Ji was shocked.
One by one, they stood up in shock and looked at Zhao Zhen in disbelief.
Kou Ji was stunned for a moment, then let out a long sigh and said, "If what I expected is correct, you should be in the Chui Gong Hall of Xindu right now..."
Zhao Zhen said with a bright smile: "They forced you out of Bianjing City and made you unhappy. Now that I have abandoned them and made them unhappy, I have avenged you."
Kou Ji was speechless.
Zhao Zhen said all the beautiful things.
Zhao Zhen was minding his own business and asked someone to get a stool, and sat down opposite Kou Ji. He waved to the others and said, "Sit down and say, I am no longer the Emperor of the Song Dynasty. You don't have to be restrained when you see me."
.”
Zhong Shiheng and his party all looked at Kou Ji.
Kou Ji sighed: "Everyone, please sit down..."
After everyone sat down, Zhao Zhen said with a smile: "What are we discussing?"
Kou Ji said calmly: "We are discussing how to rebel?"
When Zhao Zhen heard this, not only was he not surprised, but he said with great interest: "Where are you going to start? After being the emperor of the Song Dynasty for many years, I know the Song Dynasty very well. I know where the weaknesses of the Song Dynasty are. I can help."
, definitely get twice the result with half the effort.”
When Kou Ji heard this, he put his hand on his forehead.
Another shameless person appeared.
Zhao Zhen chuckled and said, "What? You think I'm not good at it?"
Kou Ji put down his hand and said straight to the point: "We are planning to explore overseas lands. If you can find the manpower and the money and food, you can also participate."
Zhao Zhen said grandly: "In terms of manpower, money and food, I'm afraid no one here can compare with me... so I want to take the majority..."
Kou Ji said suspiciously: "You already have a huge empire, why do you need so much land?"
Zhao Zhen said with a smile: "There are too many sons. The eldest son has inherited the family business, and I don't know where to put the remaining sons. I heard that overseas is a vast land with abundant resources. I will go and have a look and grab some family property for them."
Kou Ji said quietly: "The overseas land is huge, but you don't have the final say on how much you can grab. If you want a big head, I'm afraid it will be difficult."
Zhao Zhen said with a smile: "Then I'll listen to you."
Kou Ji rolled his eyes, "Just listen to me, of course it won't work. We got together to be robbers. Since we are robbers, it is inevitable that the spoils will be unevenly divided.
So the rules still have to be established.
From now on, we will do things according to the rules and divide the spoils according to the rules."
Hearing this, Zhong Shiheng and others nodded in unison.
Zhao Zhen did not hesitate and nodded.
Kou Ji continued: "The overseas land is actually very large, far larger than you think. We, as one generation, cannot take it all. We, as one generation, cannot digest it.
So it will take at least four or five generations of hard work to see results.
If we want people of the fourth and fifth generations to do things according to our ideas, we can't just talk about it, we must set rules, and the rules must be written down on paper.
The first one is mutual non-aggression.
Since we have formed an alliance, we should not stab each other and pull each other back.
Once there is a situation where we stab each other and hold each other back, all our efforts will most likely be in vain."
As soon as these words came out, Zhong Shiheng and others almost all looked at Zhao Zhen.
They are all very weak, and if they want to stab others, they will probably be hurt first.
The only one who can swallow up others and still protect himself is the Song Dynasty represented by Zhao Zhen.
Under their gaze, Zhao Zhen smiled and said: "I have no objection..."
Kou Ji nodded and continued: "The second article is to act unanimously against the outside world. When we go out to sea and encounter any foreign enemies, we must act resolutely and unanimously against the outside world, and we are not allowed to retreat on any excuse."
Zhao Zhen knocked on the table and said: "Not only must we unite with the outside world, but we must also annihilate all enemies who dare to bar their teeth at us."
Kou Ji, Zhong Shiheng and others thought about it for a moment and nodded in unison, which was considered to be recognition of Zhao Zhen's statement.
Kou Ji continued: "Article 3: All places we occupy overseas must abide by the covenants we have made..."
"Article 4..."
"Article 5..."
"..."
"Article 18..."
Kou Ji mentioned eighteen articles in one breath.
Zhao Zhen, Zhong Shiheng, Di Qing, Liu Heng and others made some adjustments after discussing one by one.
Then it was officially put on the paper, and everyone stamped their own seal.
The bandit alliance to carve up the world was officially established.
There was no celebration or carnival, just a few big guys hiding in the house and making eighteen rules.
Afterwards, everyone got together to discuss the laws that overseas territories must abide by.
All laws are almost aligned with one goal, that is, the supremacy of Song people.
After discussing the laws that need to be followed together, everyone discussed the issue of profit distribution.
After a simple discussion, everyone decided to distribute the money according to work.
In the unit of 10,000 people, whoever has the most people, contributes the most, and occupies the largest space.
Since Zhao Zhen had an absolute advantage in this field, in order to prevent Zhao Zhen's family from becoming dominant, everyone limited the number of people.
Each company shall not dispatch more than 30,000 manpower.
Considering that Kou Ji, Di Qing, Liu Heng, Cao Yuan, and Zhang Yuan laid the foundation for them to send troops overseas, these five families have the right to choose the territory first.
In addition, except for the five families of Kou Ji, Di Qing, Liu Heng, Cao Yuan, and Zhang Yuan, each other family had to pay as much shipping fare as the number of people they sent out, and the same amount of shipping fare as the number of things they carried back.
The period lasts for fifteen years. After fifteen years, each company can purchase ships from Qingguo.
Everyone discussed at Sunrise Pier for half a month and finally finalized all the matters that needed to be finalized.
Historically known as the Sunrise Alliance.
After the alliance ended, Zhao Zhen and others returned to their own territory and began to prepare everything needed for the voyage.
Half a year later.
The first ironclad ship of the Qing Dynasty that could accommodate 2,000 people was launched into the sea.
Zhao Zhen, Kou Ji, Di Qing, Liu Heng, Cao Yuan, Zhang Yuan, Cao Yi, Zhong Shiheng and others sat in iron-clad ships and set sail.
Everything about the Song Dynasty has long become a thing of the past. Their chests are full of the world and the sea.
The journey continues, but the goal has undergone earth-shaking changes.
They are pioneers, they are the leaders, they are the pioneers who plant the Yanhuang Dragon Flag all over the world, and they are also the masters who reshape the soul of China.
The moment the souls of the descendants of Yan and Huang were endowed with wild nature, they were destined to bloom with destructive light on the blue planet.
Our story has ended, but their story may have just begun.
They are destined to use their flesh and blood from generation to generation to create a different world.
