Chapter 962: Bastard Son

May.

The summer is already in full swing in Lingnan, with the scorching sun and the heat swelling.

At noon, there was no bustling morning on the streets, and there were not many people, as if they were an empty city.

As the commander of Lingnan, Qin Lang specially built a swimming pool in the backyard of the government office, soaking in the pool to escape the summer, which was extremely comfortable.

There are special high wall enclosures around the swimming pool, and no one can spy on it and disturb it.

"Congratulations to Saburo for having another son. I wonder if Saburo can give him a good name?"

"You."

Zhang Chao, who had just returned from Linyi, was lying in a lounge chair by the swimming pool, pronounced the name, "You, God is blessed? The name is good, you didn't think about going to meet your Liulang? It looks very similar to you, and it can even be called a carved piece from the same mold. It is definitely your kind, like a fake one."

Qin Lang turned over in the water, changed to a backstroke position, and floated on the water without much effort. As for Fan Lin, who was far away in Linyi Lion City, he had to send such a blessing name.

He could not go to Linyi to see his son now, and even when he was born, he was destined to not have the surname Qin, and his surname was Fan.

The Queen asked Qin Lang to ask the child for a name.

He gave the word "有有" for the child, and hopes that God can bless you so that you can have peace and safety in this life.

The queen liked this name very much and sent an envoy to Luoyang to ask the emperor to enthrone Fan You as the crown prince of Linyi. Li Shimin obviously knew the origin of the child, and this incident still caused a lot of heated discussion in the capital. Some officials even impeached Qin Lang for this.

But Li Shimin just laughed, thinking that it was nothing if his son-in-law was hooking up with Princess Linyi to give birth to a child.

In the face of the request of the Queen of Linyi, he issued a generous order to grant Fan You the title of Prince of Linyi, and the title of General Huaihua, the third rank of the Tang Dynasty, the Duke of Xiangjun, and the title of Golden Seal of Turtle Button...

The current situation in Linyi is very in line with the interests of the Tang Dynasty.

The Queen of Linyi returned to the country to fight against rebellion and restore the rebellion, recovered the royal capital, captured the monarchist, and executed him. Then the Queen quickly defeated the rebels from other places and restored the rule of Linyi.

After the queen successfully restored the country, she announced that she had become a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty and began to actively promote sinicization. The country fully emulated the Tang Dynasty and promoted political reforms.

The court established three provinces, six ministries and twelve guards, established a government system, promoted the equalization of fields, liberated maritime trade, attracted investment, took advantage of the great momentum of suppressing the rebels, and with the support of the Tang Dynasty, the Queen's reforms were vigorous and vigorous.

The Tangcheng Concession that promised to the Tang Dynasty had been allocated to the Tang Dynasty. In addition, the northern Da Nang was also rented to the Tang Dynasty as a military port base for the Nanyang Navy Fleet.

Even in terms of tariffs, we reached an agreement with the Tang Dynasty, and both sides used the same tariffs. Linyi also directly handed over the newly established Maritime Bureau to the Tang Dynasty for management. The Tang Dynasty collected tariffs. Half of the income was used to directly deduct loans from the Tang Dynasty, and the remaining half was paid to the Linyi treasury.

The queen also recruited the Tang Dynasty mercenaries who helped him restore the country, and used them as the backbone to form the Royal Imperial Army of the Linyi Kingdom.

We also started to form a Lin Shi Navy.

Linyi's army was rebuilt and recruited troops. The queen placed many orders for armed forces, warships, horses, etc. from the Tang Dynasty. She had no money for the time being and borrowed directly from the Tang Dynasty.

Linyi Kingdom is now fully embracing the Tang Dynasty, and even actively invited the Tang Dynasty's Nanyang Navy to enter, and all aspects such as culture and politics are approaching the Tang Dynasty.

For the Tang Dynasty, this is a good thing that has both face and inner strength. It has been less than a year since the Queen restored the country, but the Tang Dynasty's trade volume with Linyi has surged, increasing several times, not to mention that after obtaining the trade tariff agreement, the Tang Dynasty gave them a lot of loans and sold a lot of arms. These transactions are very profitable.

Of course, Li Shimin also liked Linyi's Chinese reform very much. The cultural output of the Tang Dynasty was a representative of the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, although the Queen of Linyi named the emperor's son-in-law, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, the regent of Linyi, respected him as the great guardian of Linyi, and gave birth to an illegitimate son, Li Shimin did not pursue the matter.

These did not affect the huge benefits of Linyi's involvement in the arms of the Tang Dynasty.

Nowadays, countless hot money in the Central Plains poured into Linyi, where they mined, built houses, even opened shopping malls, or directly invested money to build wharf ports, etc. Countless Central Plains merchant goods poured into Linyi with Tang ships, and were exchanged for countless Linyi raw materials, gold, silver, copper and iron, etc.

Linyi has now become an important sales place for the Tang Dynasty's commercial goods and an important supply of raw materials for the Tang Dynasty. Li Shimin still knows some economy and knows that the Tang Dynasty has taken a lot of advantages in it.

This is the wool cut in Linyi. The Tang Dynasty sold handmade goods with high added value, while the Linyi people sold mainly low added value raw materials. The Tang Dynasty merchants purchased and transported these raw materials from Linyi to Datang. After processing and production, they turned around and returned to Linyi, making a lot of money.

In the process of trade, processing, circulation, etc., the Tang Dynasty not only earned taxes, but also promoted the opportunities for the people and merchants to make money. Li Shimin couldn't ask for such a good thing.

The queen had to rely on the Tang Dynasty to hold on to her and strengthen her rule over Linyi, so she took the initiative to choose to cooperate with the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty endorsed Linyi and achieved a huge harvest of culture and interests.

Each one takes the necessary one.

Qin Lang became an important link between the two families.

"Have you ever visited Hengshan? How is it now? What is the Queen and Linyi Court's attitude towards Hengshan?"

Qin Lang asked.

Zhang Chao took a coconut and took a few leisurely sips.

"I don't know if I don't go, I'm scared when I go. Do you know how excessive those animals are? The plan you and Li Daliang had planned before was to use the pretext of the Queen of Linyi to fight against rebellion and quell the rebellion to send troops south, cross Hengshan, occupy Bijing, and Zhuwu, and advance three hundred miles southward, with Zhuwujiang as the boundary."

"But I only discovered this time that these animals not only occupied Bijing and Zhuwu, but also crossed Zhuwu River and headed north for 800 miles. Now, it is not Lu Rongshui, but even Shou Lengshui has passed, and directly occupied Lu Rong, Xianglin, which was established in the Western Jin Dynasty."

Qin Lang quickly passed through the Linyi map in his mind, and compared these place names, he immediately had a clear impression.

Jiude is Rongshi in later generations, and Yueshang is Hejing. These are all areas that have been controlled by the Tang Dynasty before.

The Bijing, which he asked to take the opportunity to go south to occupy, was the Guangxi, Donghai and Zhuwushui of later generations, which were the Rilijiang of later generations.

Being able to occupy this area is already a big mouthful of fat.

But he really didn't expect that the soldiers and generals sent out were so brave. They went south and crossed Rilijiang all the way, and occupied the Xianglin all the way.

Where is Xianglin?

That is Hue in later generations.

Further south is Danang.

The main reason why those animals stopped was that after passing Hue, they were no longer in a plain coastal plain area. To the south, the remaining veins of the Hengshan Mountains blocked the southward road and blocked the sea.

The continuous deep mountains separate Hue from Da Nang. If you want to go south, it will be inconvenient to take the land, especially for transportation and supplies.

In addition, Niu Jianhu took Qin Lang's teachings and asked the queen to rent Da Nang as a military port, the guys finally stopped in Hue.

This coastal plain hilly area is about 600 miles long and about 100 miles wide. On the west side, the Hengshan Mountains and the sea on the right side, a piece of fertile soil was actually occupied by a mere thousand Jiaozhou Jinghai Army Tang Army, plus the two thousand barbarian soldiers recruited, and they went all southward.

Those guys made such great contributions, but they did not dare to report them. They only said that they had completed the task and occupied Bijing Zhuwu.

"Linyi court is very dissatisfied now. I went to Lion Pu this time. Although the queen didn't say anything on the surface, I also saw that the queen was not very happy. We are too cruel. In the name of helping to seek rebellion, we occupied 800 miles of land at once."

"It's actually about six hundred miles!" Qin Lang corrected.

"Is it six hundred miles? Lin Yi said it was eight hundred miles away, so he probably counted the Da Nang area. In short, he was very unhappy and agreed to help fight against the thieves. So he also actively cooperated and sent people to contact the local powerful clans and even barbarians and other parties, so that they could lead the way for our Tang army. Some people gave people, money, and food for those with food, so we could defeat the regicide's subordinates without any effort and occupy these places."

"They were still waiting to take these places from us, but the captain who led the troops refused. A Linyi official was a little tougher, but this guy tied up and chopped him up and said he was attacking the Tang Dynasty? Isn't this unfair? He didn't even bring a knife, so he came over to question and asked for his own land. He killed the person because he was not polite enough. It was too much."

It is not just this one, but it may be a misunderstanding to kill someone, but not to refuse to hand over the six hundred miles of land, the lieutenant also summoned the local people of Linyi in Huhua City and asked them to send a message to the mountainous areas westwards, asking those Linyi people in the mountains to come to pay their respects to him, saying that the place has now completely belonged to the Tang Dynasty and has regained the Han rule.

"That guy also said that since ancient times, Hue has been owned by China. It was said that Linyi's Hue was called Xianglin before, and it was owned by our Han family during the Han and Jin Dynasties. So now it is restored to Han, and it is not a robbery to take advantage of the dangers of others. You see, this is a lot of nonsense, I can't listen."

Qin Lang couldn't help laughing while lying on the water. He almost choked on the water after a while of trouble. After a while, he regained control of the balance and continued to float on the water.

"The lieutenant is indeed a bit bold, but this kid is also very smart. Whether he really expected Lin Yi to have a demand for the Tang Dynasty, or was just greedy for merit, the current situation is actually quite good. Don't feel embarrassed or something, just take advantage of it."

Zhang Chao was stunned for a moment, "Sanlang, you are so shameless."

"What are the faces to be faced in the current national interests? Besides, what the captain said is right. Since ancient times, there has not been a time when Linyi Kingdom, the north of Xianglin belonged to my Chinese Han family. Now that Linyi has rebelled in China, we have lost the land, and our Tang Dynasty sent troops to take it back. This is reasonable. We did not steal Linyi Kingdom, but we took back the old border of our Han family from the rebels."

Zhang Chao couldn't speak anymore.

"You really want to swallow it?"

"Where is there any reason to vomit out when you eat it? Isn't it delicious to have six hundred miles? Such an opportunity is once a year. At the end of the Han Dynasty, the zodiac people took the opportunity to separatist and become independent. The territory we ruled for hundreds of years was lost. Now we have finally taken it back. Do we have to send it back?"

"Anyway, it's impossible for me, Qin Lang."

"But Linyi Kingdom refused."

"Give them some compensation and comfort them."

"It may not be acceptable."

"I'm willing to follow him, but the result will not change." Qin Lang said domineeringly.

Zhang Chao gave a thumbs up, "I deeply suspect now that the captain must have been given the secret advice from you, Qin Sanlang. Otherwise, he, a mere sixth-rank captain, would have such courage?"

"You don't dare to talk nonsense without evidence. Be careful I'll beat you up!" Qin Lang laughed twice, refusing to admit Zhang Chao's accusations.
