There are endless rice in the Jiujiang Plain near the sea in the southern continent, golden.

When the wind blows, the fragrance of wheat will scatter on the plains.

This is the granary of the Song Dynasty. People plant and harvest it all year round. Some of them are transported to the north through transportation.

A large part of them were transported to large ships docked at Jiujiang Port and transported along the coast to Hangzhou and Mizhou and other places.

The largest naval port in the southern part of the Great Sea is here.

The total strength of the South China Sea Navy reached 20,000. Since Li Bao destroyed the Three Buddhas, all other island countries have been frightened.

The warships flying with the flag of the Song Dynasty went back and forth in Hainan, intimidating the countries, and also soared the smooth migration of the Song Dynasty royal family to the south.

Duke Chongguo Zhao Chen was transferred here.

This is originally considered the territory of Yue State, but Yue State has basically no sovereignty. Except for the governance power, the rest belongs to the Song Dynasty.

On this day, Duke Chongguo Zhao Chen took Yidu's water army camp to the county town 30 miles north of Jiujiang Military Port to drink and eat meat.

This small county town is called Nanwang County. It was naturally formed after the establishment of the Navy Military Port and the opening of transportation lines was carried out.

Not big in scale, and very simple.

However, because the Navy occasionally came here to drink, Nanwang County developed very quickly.

Drinking in the Song Dynasty was not a ban, and there were also wines in the army. However, these people often went to the north to taste a kind of wine made by the locals with sugar cane.

Zhao Chen brought people to the largest restaurant in Nanwang County. About a hundred people filled the entire hotel.

Everyone was drinking fragrantly, and suddenly they ran in outside.

Both of them were wearing the uniforms of grassroots officials in Yue Kingdom, and they were obviously local patrol officers.

"The big thing is not good, Jun Ye, someone rebelled! Some people rebelled!"

When Zhao Chen heard this, he immediately took a slender sabre with one hand and said seriously: "Don't talk nonsense. Who dares to rebel under the glory of the emperor?"

"I dare not talk nonsense! The rebels are outside at this moment!"

Zhao Chen frowned and said solemnly: "My boys, come out and have a look!"

After saying that, the hundreds of Navy generals followed Zhao Chen out of the hotel.

Sure enough, at the intersection not far away, more than 200 people gathered together to smash the shops on both sides of the street, and all the pedestrians retreated.

"Bold, dare to despise the king's law in broad daylight!"

Zhao Chen roared angrily. He is eighteen years old this year. It is the age when a man began to grow up, and his qi and blood are very strong.

He drew his knife: "My sons, follow me to quell the rebellion!"

Everyone shouted together.

The leader of the "rebellion" was a Han man named Zhang Chunying. He went to the Southern Continent to make a living thirty years ago. He was a small force today. After the establishment of the Yue Kingdom, he surrendered to Zhao Zisong.

Zhang Chunying held a worn-out axe in his hand, and his face was fierce.

According to the laws of the Song Dynasty, civilians are not allowed to hold swords and axes. Obviously, Zhang Chunying violated the law.

What's more, he is smashing and smashing in the street now.

However, this is the area where the three no-cost areas are now.

Of course, it is limited to this time.

There are obvious tidal characteristics here. Before wheat harvest, before the caravan or the official transport team of the court arrived, there was a window period for the bandits.

It was this period.

Once the wheat is ripe, the caravan has to go through here to rest normally, and the public security will be very strict.

Zhang Chunying, a Han bandit, lived for most of his life, and he also had some wisdom in life. At that time, of course he would be more honest.

But that time has not yet come, and this action is supported by Zhao Zisong behind the scenes.

The more you can grab, the better you will be.

In Zhang Chunying's opinion, these small vendors earn so much money from the caravans in the north every year, and it is worth contributing some to him.

Of course, 70% of the protection fees he collected were to be given to Zhao Zisong.

In order to make contributions to Zhao Chen, Zhao Zisong made up his mind to sell Zhang Chunying.

Zhang Chunying didn't know that the Navy would come here to drink today. In fact, he didn't know anything, otherwise he wouldn't dare to be presumptuous if he had lent him a hundred courage.

Now, when Zhang Chunying saw the Navy soldier No. 15 brought by Zhao Chen suddenly appeared, his eyes almost glared out.

Zhang Chunying hurriedly said, "This military master, we will not overturn the river. We will send you a lot of thanks to the mansion in the future."

"The thief also wants to bribe the Song Navy, damn it!"

"June! This is a misunderstanding, we got it..."

Before he could finish his words, the navy rushed up, and everyone pulled out their knives and started slashing and killing.

Zhang Chunying's words were instantly drowned in the roars and fighting sounds of the crowd.

The common people around them naturally retreat as far as they go.

With a head-on attack with the Song Dynasty Navy, these bandits had no combat power at all.

It took less than a stick of incense to escape, scattered, and died.

Zhao Chen did not give up, especially not letting Zhang Chunying live.

When Zhang Chunying fled a few miles outside the city, he was shot by Zhao Chen who was chasing behind him and fell to the ground and sang in pain.

"June, I am the King of Yue..."

Zhao Chen did not give him a chance to speak, and slashed Zhang Chunying's head with one knife, and blood splattered.

Zhang Chunying's head rolled to the ground, his eyes still wide.

He seemed to be asking: Why did I die suddenly?

And Zhao Chen felt an unprecedented sense of accomplishment.

This is a kind of pleasure of trampling on someone else's corpse and climbing up. There is a little more ruthlessness in his eyes. When he took action to kill Zhang Chunying just now, he did not hesitate.

Soon, the county magistrate of Nanwang County reported the matter to the power in Yue State.

After a night, Zhao Zisong wrote a memorial and ordered people to send it to Tokyo City with rush.

It was originally just a matter of bandits collecting protection fees, but it was confined to be rebellion by Yue State.

Rebellion is not a small matter. Although it is not large in scale and has been calmed down, it is of serious nature.

In this case, Zhao Zisong made up a slogan for the rebel Zhang Chunying: Overthrow the tyranny and return to peace.

During the reporting process, Zhao Zisong said: Duke Chongguo is unparalleled in bravery, killing more than two thousand enemies. The rebels were frightened and could not fight. The leader of the thief was at his desk and was killed by Duke Chongguo.

This incident spread to Tokyo half a month later, attracting great attention from the court.

Fortunately, the scale is not large and it has been calmed down.

But the Political Affairs Hall took this matter and began to whisper to Zhao Chen.

Finally, three days later, the emperor sent Tang Ke south to inspect the Southern Continent, and on behalf of the emperor, he gave condolences to the Hainan Navy.

Tang Ke went south to Jiaozhou and then to Yue Kingdom.

The whole country of Yue came down to welcome the emperor's special envoy and the prime minister of the court.

Not only Zhao Zisong brought everyone to greet him, but even Zhao Chen brought his own people to the north to greet him in person.

"I have met the Prime Minister of Tang." Zhao Chen politely said to Tang Ke.

"If you can't do it, you can't do it. If you have a heavy word from Chongguo, you can't afford it!"

Zhao Chen said: "The Prince of Tang was a sacrificial minister of the Song Dynasty. If Prince of Tang could not afford it, who could afford it?"

When Tang Ke heard this, he was so happy that he couldn't stop talking.

Zhao Chen continued to follow the performance Zhao Xing told him: "Please give me more advice in the future."

"I dare not, I dare not, the teacher of Duke Chongguo is Shi Xueshi, and I dare not overthrow it."

"I hope to hear from you, the way to govern the country."

When Tang Ke saw Zhao Chen bowing with an extremely respectful attitude, he couldn't help but be shocked. Unexpectedly, Duke Chongguo had changed so much in just two years.

Before, Xu Churen thought about suggesting that the emperor make Zhao Chen the crown prince, but Tang Ke actually didn't support Zhao Chen very much. But now, this Duke Chongguo is a talent that can be made, and he might be able to shoulder the important tasks of the future Song Dynasty.
