Chapter 338

The Hokkaido Island is Hokkaido, and the Hokkaido people are the indigenous people on the ancient Hokkaido Island, and they were the territory of the indigenous people before. During the Song Dynasty, these indigenous people still surrendered to the Song Dynasty. In the 16th century, the Songmaen clan crossed the sea to build Fukuyama City, which included the Hokkaido Island in Japan.

However, even at this time, the Japanese did not have strong control over the Hokkaido Island. It was not until the 18th and 9th centuries that Japan strengthened the power of Hokkaido in order to resist the Rakshasa people's southward movement.

Although the Ekiji people at this time had surrendered to Japan, the Tokugawa shogunate did not have strong control over Ekiji Island. After all, no one was willing to live in this bitter and cold place.

If Zhao Peng wants to recruit the native people of the Estokyo, it is not difficult. As long as he has money, he is afraid that he will not be able to recruit those who work hard?

The construction of Sakhalin Island and Miaojie Castle and the recruitment of the Ekima were handed over to Zheng Sen and Takawa Qizaemon and others. Zhao Peng took the Kunxing Princess to return to Jiangnan by himself.

As for the Ming Navy who were operating in the Korean Peninsula, Zhao Peng didn't need to worry about them, because it was the Little Ice Age and due to the influence of air conditioning, it was impossible for typhoons to come to the waters of the Korean Peninsula. As long as there was no typhoon, in this year, the Far East region had not yet been able to defeat the Ming Navy.

After more than 30 hours of sailing, the Kunxing Princess finally entered the estuary of the Yangtze River. It was already the evening of the eighth day of the 10th year of Shaowu. Because in the past three months, the Ming Dynasty has set up several lighthouses and sea buoys in the Chongming Island area at the estuary of the Yangtze River. After entering the estuary of the Yangtze River, the Kunxing Princess does not need to circumnavigate the Wusong River anymore. It can pass directly from the waters south of Chongming Island and enter the Yangtze River.

After entering the Yangtze River, the Kunxing Princess lowered some of the sails, slowed down the speed, and headed towards Nanjing at an eleven-knot speed.

You can no longer walk the Wusong River and go upstream directly through the Chongming Island waters to enter the Yangtze River lane. This is a miracle. Because the water flows in Chongming Island are very fast. In the original time and space, even in the 19th century, even when the British Empire battleships were about to enter the Yangtze River, they would use neat ships to pull sail battleships to pass through Chongming Island and reach Zhenjiang. If there were no ships, sail battleships could not pass through Chongming Island.

However, the Kunxing Princess did this with a sailing boat, which shows that the fly-scissors have strong power.

At noon on the ninth day of the 10th month, Princess Kunxing arrived at Xiaguan Wharf and stopped. Zhao Peng took the Jinyiwei and got off the boat. After arriving in Nanjing, Zhao Peng's first thing was to go to the palace to meet the saint and go to see Princess Kunxing by the way.

When he entered the palace, he saw Emperor Shaowu Zhu Cilang, Zhao Peng bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I am back. The first thing I do when I come back is to go to the palace to see you."

Zhu Cilang smiled and said, "I'm calm!"

Seeing Zhao Peng stand up, Zhu Cilang asked someone to give him a seat. When Zhao Peng sat down, Zhu Cilang smiled and said, "Brother-in-law, I have been ascending the throne for more than two years. In the past two years, you have been fighting outside for more than half of your time. After finally putting down the rebellion between the two kings, I came back, but as a result, I went to Jiaodong for a war on the excuse of trying a new boat! I have been leaving for three months, and I and the emperor miss you."

"Your Majesty, aren't you back? This time I went to Jiaodong, not only blocking the attack of Jiannu, but also dealt with the Korean navy who had surrendered Jiannu, and took over Jeju Island. In this way, our Ming Dynasty will have a horse farm and only with horses can we fight the north." Zhao Peng replied.

"With the horse farm, where did we get so many war horses from our Ming Dynasty?" Zhu Cixuan asked, "I always want to attack the Central Plains as soon as possible and restore Yanjing so that my father can rest in peace."

Zhao Peng said: "Your Majesty, the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains is unhurried. Without powerful cavalry, you can't fight against Jiannu in the Central Plains. There are not many stallions and mares on the horse farm of Jeju Island. They need to reproduce slowly. It will take at least three years to take shape. But there are also shortages of horses there. I have a plan to find thieves and offer thieves to buy horses, but I don't know if Your Majesty agrees?"

Zhu Ciyang frowned and thought for a moment: "Brother-in-law, if I can restore Yanjing, I will agree to everything! Just a thief, will they sell their horses to our Ming Dynasty? Although the three of us are temporarily working together, they are enemies after all, especially the thief, who are the life-and-death enemy that forces his father to death. They are irreconcilable enemies. They are willing to buy horses for us? Even if I don't care about the hatred of killing my father for the time being, Li Zicheng is afraid that he will not be able to let go of this knot, right?"

Zhao Peng said: "I can try it. Maybe there is a way to convince the thieves to sell the horses to us. Even if the thieves refuse, isn't there still Zhang Xianzhong? Your Majesty, in fact, the thieves and the thieves in Xian have always been incompatible. The thieves occupy Sichuan and have to be wary of the thieves who are defeated by Jiannu, they will go south to grab their territory. We can use this to provide weapons to Zhang Xianzhong in exchange for the horses."

Zhu Cilang nodded: "Brother-in-law, we are all our family anyway, so you can do these things yourself. By the way, in the past three months, the emperor has been talking about you all day long. There will be more than half a year, and the mourning period will last for three years, and you will be able to get married at that time."

"Your Majesty, then I will go and see Your Highness the Princess." Zhao Peng said.

Zhu Cilang smiled and said, "Go, I know you can't wait, and the emperor is anxious to see you."

Zhao Peng stood up and said goodbye and went to Rouyi Hall.

"You are a heartless person, don't leave for three months without saying goodbye! Tell me, where have you been going in these three months? Have you been abducted by a little girl again?" Princess Kunxing asked in Zhao Peng's ear, "Tell me honestly, otherwise I will let the emperor sentence you to castration!"

"Your Highness Princess, I am wronged!" Zhao Peng quickly defended, "I did not bring a little girl back this time, but instead brought back a lot of sticks, preparing to send a lot of sticks to Qiongzhou mine."

When Princess Kunxing heard the word "Bangzi", she was amused: "Hmph, I don't care about Goryeo Robots. Zhao Lang, you can deal with them as much as you like. Who made them ungrateful and surrender to Jiannu, deserve it! But you have to honestly explain whether you have any girl you like again and she doesn't want to come back with you?"

Zhao Peng still honestly told Princess Kunxing: "Your Highness, when I was in Jiaodong, I met a female general named Shen Yunying, who was a little widow."

"What?" Princess Kunxing snorted, "Are you attracted to others again? Shen Yunying, I knew that when my father was there, I personally named her a guerrilla general, but a heroine who alone rode into the thief army to take back her father's remains. It's a pity that she was young and her father and husband died, and she was also a miserable person. If I had the chance, I wanted to meet this female general, she was the second female general in the Ming Dynasty except Qin Liangyu."

Zhao Peng asked, "Your Highness Princess, have you ever gone to find two girls, Wu Xiaomei and Zuo Xianmei?"

Princess Kunxing nodded: "Of course I have gone to find them. These two girls are good. I and they have become good sisters. When we get married next year, you can bring them in."

"Thank you, Your Highness, Princess." Zhao Peng put his arms around Princess Kunxing's waist and gently hugged her in his arms.

He said in his heart: Princess Kunxing is really a fine Chinese traditional woman. She is not jealous and jealous of her men. In the 21st century of later generations, where can I find such a good woman? This is still a princess, and she can allow herself to take several concubines into the house. As a princess, she does not have any princess disease. This is also very rare. I don’t want some women in later generations who have no princess life but have princess disease.
