    "What the hell, you're uglier than me. Literary Hall Shi Yong, you're specifically trying to spoil our drinking fun, right?"

    Li Kui looked at a group of dark and ugly women coming into the hall, glared, and threw the wine bowl away.

    Xu Guanzhong and others felt their appetites were drained when they looked at the woman Shi Yong had chosen.

    Shi Yong said awkwardly: "The ugliness in life is the most eye-catching thing in the palace. The beautiful ones are all Han people. According to the prince's instructions, all Han people are free, and I can't let them come."

    Chao Yong waved his hand and said: "That's all, take them all down."

    "yes."

    Shi Yong also felt embarrassed and quickly led people to drive out a group of dark-skinned Yue girls.

    When the Yue woman went out, the hall seemed to be much brighter.

    Li Kui shouted: "I thought that only men are black in Yue people, but I didn't expect that these women are blacker than me. I'm afraid I can't find my mother-in-law at night."

    "Hahaha"

    Everyone couldn¡¯t help laughing when they heard Li Kui¡¯s nonsense again.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????]

    Chao Yong also has a deep understanding of this. He has successfully wiped out the Yue and Li Dynasties. As soon as he entered the palace, he wanted to see the beautiful women. Everyone agreed with this, and the soldiers also gathered their energy.

    Chao Yong thought for a while and said: "Xue Yong, please pass on my order. Five thousand Yue women will be demoted to camp prostitutes, and the soldiers can take turns to relax. Anyone who commits adultery outside, regardless of whether the target is a Yue or a Han, will be killed without mercy."

    "yes."

    Not long after Xue Yong left, the city heard loud cheers again.

    On the second day, except for the five thousand camp prostitutes, there were no more Yue people in the city. They were either fed the fish and shrimps of the Furiang River or branded as slaves.  Escorted north.

    The palace was filled with property that the soldiers had searched from the city. The Yue and Li Dynasties were not as rich as the Central Plains, but most of the country's wealth was in Shenglong Mansion. There were also many specialties of the Yue and Li Dynasties, which were worth thousands of gold when shipped to the Central Plains.  The wealth is no less than all the rewards given to the soldiers by Chao Yong after his southern expedition.

    It can be said that Chao Yong sent troops this time without spending a penny. He unified the south of the Yangtze River, wiped out the Yue and Li Dynasties, and obtained tens of thousands of Yue slaves.  These Vietnamese slaves will be sent to domestic mines.  Create wealth continuously for Daliang.

    This is a Vietnamese slave captured by the army from Li Qiande's army and Shenglong Mansion. One hundred thousand barbarians are still searching carefully in the north of Fuliang River.  Daliang only needs strong men and heads, and the wealth belongs to the barbarians.

    Thirty-sixth Dong plundered Guangxi, Chao Yong asked them to release all Han people and return all property.  They also had to pay compensation to the Han people who had been taken captive, which turned the originally poor Sanliudong into a ruin.

    Fortunately, Daliang gave them the opportunity to make a fortune, not to mention that they had to use heads and men to atone for their sins. If they didn't catch enough men and heads, no one knew how Daliang would punish them.  So the barbarians carefully searched every inch of the land, not sparing any Yue people.

    The mountains and forests infested with snakes and insects are no different from the places where they grow, and there is no need for the supervising Daliang soldiers to drive them away.  They went into the forest and captured the fleeing Yue people.  The mountains and forests that really couldn't be searched were burned down.

    The mountains and forests of Yue State can still be lit during the dry season, but when the rainy season comes, they can still be lit.  New vegetation will soon grow back.

    Those Han people who were taken captive to the Yue Li Dynasty and were willing to return to their hometowns followed the team escorting the Yue slaves back to their hometowns. Those who were willing to live in the new Annan Kingdom stayed in Thang Long Palace.  Wait for the new city to be built before moving to the new city together.

    Willing to stay.  Each person was rewarded with ten pieces of money, five pieces of cloth, and one buffalo. As for the land, whoever cultivated it would get it.  There are hundreds of thousands of hectares of fertile land in the Fuchun River Delta, and tens of thousands of Han people simply cannot cultivate all of it.

    Paddy fields also need to be cultivated. It¡¯s not like just scattering seeds and the ground will be filled with crops.  The more fertile the place, the more vigorous the weeds will grow. Without intensive cultivation, crops will not be able to compete with the vigorous weeds.

    Under the heavy reward, only more than 30,000 Han people agreed to stay in the Annan Kingdom, and more than half of them were Han people who had lived in the Yue and Li Dynasties for many years. Only a few Han people from Guangxi were willing to stay.

    The army rested for three days and then embarked on the journey again, going south to wipe out the remaining villages of the Yue-Li Dynasty. Every day, Yue people who were marked as slaves were sent to Thang Long Mansion.

    Chao Yong did not go out with the army, but wrote his physics in Sheng Long Mansion every day.

    There are only a few thousand regular troops and horses of Yue Li Dynasty left at the border with Champa and Zhenla. Not only are there no troops and horses in the hinterland, but there are also no cities, only some large or small villages.

    The dignified Prince of Liang went to capture a few monkeys and spread the news back to the country. I am afraid that it will arouse the anger of the people. It is impossible to say that there are civil servants who are not afraid of death. Impeachment of the prince would be disrespectful to the court.So majestic.

    After entering February, it started to rain in Thanglong Province. Although it was not a continuous heavy rain, it also announced the end of the drought in the first year of Tianqi in Daliang.

    This is really related to Daliang. If it doesn't rain for a winter, although Chao Yong uses his troops very quickly, the people in the world can't stand it.  There was a severe drought in the first year of Tianqi. If there was another drought in the second year of Tianqi, nursing homes across Daliang would be out of rice.  So all the officials asked Chao Gai to offer sacrifices to the sky to pray for rain.

    Chao Gai believed Chao Yong's words and felt that heaven and man could not communicate at all. However, for the sake of the stability of the world, he had to lead his officials to pray for rain.  As a result, as soon as Chao Gai prayed for rain, it started to rain in Tokyo.

    For a long time, Gan Lin, raised the city carnival. The people felt that not only the prince was the god of heaven, but the emperor must be the god of heaven, otherwise the rain would not come, and the rain came.

    The day to pray for rain was chosen by Gongsun Sheng, a man who was good at observing the sky. Since he got the Taoist scrolls from Chao Yong's three heavenly books, Gongsun Sheng studied Taoism behind closed doors. After winning Tokyo, he declined all official positions and concentrated on studying.  Taoism.  After hearing that Chao Gai asked for rain, he asked Chao Gai to start bathing and fasting. He expressed his sincerity to the sky for a period of time before he began to pray for rain.

    After staying in Shenglong Mansion for a month, Chao Yong met with the envoys who captured the city.

    Chameng was originally a vassal state of the Song Dynasty and was often worshiped. After finding out that Daliang had wiped out the Yue and Li dynasties, they immediately got in touch with the Daliang army that went south to arrest the Yue people and wanted to send an envoy to meet the prince of Daliang.

    The city was located in the south of the Yue-Li Dynasty. Its national power was not as good as that of the Yue-Li Dynasty, and it was invaded several times by Li Qiande's troops.  When he heard that Daliang had wiped out the Yue and Li dynasties and kept sending troops south, he was so frightened that he prepared a richer tribute than the previous tributes to the Song dynasty to declare his vassal status.

    The envoy to occupy the city brought ten trained white elephants and dozens of carts of ivory, rhinoceros horn, ebony, and agarwood.

    Hua Rong has led his troops back to Thang Long City, and thousands of fine knights are arrayed outside the city.  But what frightened the envoys was not the cavalry, but the spaceships flying up and down in the sky.

    Champa is located further south. There are countless fruits in the country, and there are more war elephants than those of the Yue and Li Dynasties.  When charging, the war elephant can directly knock the war horse away, and the impact force is not at the same level.

    But what the Champa people couldn¡¯t understand was the spaceships flying in the sky, with the black dragons painted on them showing their teeth and claws, as if they wanted to choose people to devour.

    When the spaceship rises from the city and goes straight up to nine heavens.  The battlefield messenger who had just arrived outside the city gate was so frightened that he fell on the ground and knelt down repeatedly.

    Hua Rong greeted him at the city gate and said with a smile: "Envoy, please rise. The prince is already waiting for you in the palace."

    Hearing this, the envoy who occupied the city hurriedly got up and followed Hua Rong into the city.

    Entering the palace hall, the envoys prostrated themselves on the ground.  Shouted: "The envoy from Champa met with the Prince of Daliang. The king of our country heard that the prince personally led the army to conquer the Yue Dynasty, so he specially sent a villain to meet him. Champa and the Central Plains are thousands of miles apart. I don't know that the Central Plains has changed its new owner, so there is no tribute.  , please forgive me. The king of our country has sent people to prepare the national ceremony and will send people to the Central Plains soon to pay tribute. "

    As he said that, he held the gift list high.

    Shi Yong took the gift list and sent it to the throne.

    Chao Yong was very satisfied when he saw that it was written on it as a personal gift from Champa City.

    Maritime trade has flourished in recent years.  Whether it is food, businessmen from India or Southeast Asia who come to the Central Plains, they have to pass through the sea area of ????Champa. Champa has made a lot of profits from sea trade, and Champa itself also has many precious specialties.  It can be said to be quite wealthy.  Of course, their wealth is the same as that of the Yue and Li Dynasties, and the nobles wear gold and silver.  The people were still naked.

    Chao Yong nodded and said: "Okay, there should be no obstacles to the matter of proclaiming my vassalship. This time I led the troops south just to destroy the Yue and Li Dynasties that invaded our borders. You can rest assured. Now the Yue and Li Dynasties no longer exist, and will be replaced by the Yue and Li Dynasties.  It is our Daliang vassal state, the Annan Kingdom, and the future King Annan will be my son. In ten or twenty years, the population of the Annan Kingdom will not be too large, but you must not covet the territory of the Annan Kingdom, otherwise the Li Dynasty will be conquered.  Today is your tomorrow.¡±

    Hearing this, the envoy who occupied the city hurriedly said: "Our country will definitely guard its borders and will never dare to invade the territory of Annan."

    Chao Yong nodded and said: "The Yue people invaded my border and killed my people. I want to destroy their country and their tribe. There will be soldiers and horses in the Annan Kingdom to search for the Yue people for a long time, and there are also few Yue people who will flee to Champa. Your country wants to  Return all the Vietnamese who fled to Champa."

    The envoy who captured the city hurriedly said: "I will obey the order of the prince general."

    "Okay, that's all I have to say. The diplomatic relations between the two countries need to be decided by the capital, so I won't say more. The envoys have come from afar and should be given a warm reception. However, all the Yue people were escorted to the country, and there was no singing and dancing for them.  Look. Let me show you my beam's spaceship and fire-thunder attack. The envoy must be very curious about these two weapons."

    The envoys who captured the city heard that Prince Daliang wanted to give themPerform spaceship and fire and thunder attacks, thank you quickly.

    In their view, the spaceship and the legendary divine thunder that can blast through city walls are the weapons of the gods. If you are lucky enough to see them, your life will be worthwhile.

    "Fire and thunder are very powerful. Let's go to the city wall and take a look."

    Chao Yong led the envoys to the city, and the navy sailed two warships into the Fuliang River. One of the warships anchored, and the navy on board withdrew to the other warship and returned to the shore.  .

    Hou Jian flew up and down in the air for a while, then chose a height and headed over the warship.

    Xu Guanzhong explained: "The target of the attack is that warship."

    The envoy who occupied the city also noticed it and stared at the spaceship in the sky without blinking.

    When the spaceship arrived, a huge fire thunder roared down from the sky above the warship.

    "Boom"

    The fuse of the fire thunder was a little shorter, and it exploded as soon as it reached the sky above the warship. The huge power released by the explosion of the specially built large fire thunder immediately sent sawdust flying around the several-foot-long warship, and the hull was directly torn into several pieces.  block, falling into the water.

    The spacecraft dozens of feet high in the sky shook.

    Everyone on the city wall also felt a huge shock to their eardrums. The Champa people who heard the explosion of fire and thunder for the first time were so frightened that they fell to the ground with pale faces. One person even left a pool of unknown liquid on the ground.

    Until Chao Yong asked the soldiers to help the envoy to capture the city, the envoy to the city was still trembling. He looked at the few wooden boards left on the river and said with trembling lips: "It is really a weapon from the gods. No wonder it can be wiped out so quickly."  Yue Li Dynasty."

    Chao Yong smiled and said: "I wanted to let the envoy know about the spaceship and the fire thunder, but I didn't expect that it frightened the envoy. That's all. Let's go back to the palace, and I will serve the envoy with wine to calm his shock."

    The envoy who occupied the city hurriedly bowed and said: "Thank you, Prince, for opening our eyes. Today we can see the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder. Even if we die, we will have no regrets."

    When everyone returned to the palace, Chao Yong hosted a banquet to entertain the envoys who captured the city.

    The envoy from Champa drank several drinks before his hands and feet stopped shaking. He repeatedly stated that he would report to the king of Champa when he returned and send envoys north to Daliang to proclaim his vassalship as soon as possible.  Pay tribute every year and come to court every year.

    I don¡¯t know whether it was because the Champa people had little capacity for drinking, or they were frightened by the fire and thunder. After drinking for a while, the Champa envoy became very drunk.  He was chirping in a bird language that no one could understand, and looked very frightened.

    Chao Yong asked the entourage of the envoy to take the people back.

    As soon as the envoys left, Li Kui jumped up and said: "I have been busy chasing black monkeys these days, and I forgot about the spaceship. Earlier, the prince promised to let me play with the spaceship when he arrived at Yue Li Dynasty. This wine is the same as water, it's nothing.  Eat your head. It¡¯s better to play with the spaceship.¡±

    After the army rested, Li Kui followed the troops going south to fight.  Sun An, Shi Bao, Fang Jie and others were not interested in those villages, and they all stayed in Shenglong Mansion.

    The spacecraft was short of fuel and could not be replenished.  Nor did he move with the army.

    Hou Jian had just come back to attend the banquet. Hearing this, he immediately said: "There is not much fierce fire oil left. It is not too late to wait until we return to China to play again."

    Li Kui glared and said: "I want to play today. The prince has agreed. Whoever dares to ruin my good deeds should take my fist first."

    Chao Yong smiled and said: "Since I agreed, let him have fun. This banquet is not interesting. Everyone should go to the spaceship to see my first kingdom in Daliang."

    Hearing this, everyone came to the place where the launch silo was built behind the hall.

    Walking to the launch silo, Li Kui shouted: "I'm the first."

    Hearing this, Hou Jian couldn't help but look at Chao Yong.

    Chao Yong smiled and said: "Then let Li Kui go first."

    Hou Jian explained the operation method to everyone. It is actually very simple. It is to adjust the firepower and let the spacecraft change its altitude.  The wind direction is different at each altitude, allowing the spacecraft to fly to its destination by changing altitudes.

    It¡¯s easier said than done.

    Everyone knew that the operation would not be that simple. Only Li Kui shouted: "It turns out to be so easy. Quickly light the fire, I want to fly again."

    Hou Jian also wanted Li Kui to suffer some hardships, so he directed a few people to light a fire. The hot air balloon soon inflated and shot up, tightening the surrounding cables.

    When Li Kui saw Hou Jian's signal, he rushed into the hanging basket and said with a smile: "Okay, let's loosen the rope."

    Hou Jian did not let people loosen the rope at once, but slowly let people loosen the rope and let the spacecraft slowly lift off.

    At first, Li Kui stood in the gondola with great joy and looked around. But when the rope was lowered a few feet and the spaceship was higher than the top of the hall, Li Kui turned pale and stopped looking around. He held on to the gondola with both hands.  edge.

    Hou Jian looks atLooking at Li Kui's appearance, he couldn't help but laugh. When he first selected the spaceship crew members, he found that many people were afraid of heights.  They can climb mountains, but they dare not fly in a spaceship.  Because no matter how high you climb, you have to keep your feet on the ground, but the gondola of the spaceship is made of a layer of rattan. Although it is very strong, once it reaches a high altitude, the people on it will not feel safe.

    Li Kui is undoubtedly a person who is afraid of heights.

    "General Li, we have to let go of the rope."

    Li Kui actually wanted to jump off for a long time, but he had been clamoring to play with the spaceship before. If he went down before it was up, he would definitely be laughed at, so he kept gritting his teeth and persisted.

    ¡°But after hearing Hou Jian¡¯s shouting, Li Kui couldn¡¯t hold on any longer. He felt that there was nothing under his feet even though he was pulling on the ropes below.  If the rope is loosened and the spacecraft flies straight into the sky, it will really be unable to reach the sky or reach the ground.

    "No, no, drag me down. I don't want to play anymore."

    Everyone on the ground couldn't help laughing when they heard Li Kui's anxious voice.

    Seeing that Li Kui was in a hurry, Hou Jian did not dare to joke anymore, lest Li Kui come down and beat him, and shouted: "Turn down the firepower, and we will drag you down."

    When everyone pulled the spacecraft down, Li Kui's legs were already weak. He stepped over several times before stepping out of the gondola.

    "It's so scary to stand in this little basket and rise into the air. I've never been afraid of thousands of troops. Only this spaceship is so scary. It's so damn weird."

    Chao Yong smiled and said: "Fear of heights is also a disease, and it is not a matter of courage. There are also people who can't stand firm when they see water, and faint when they see blood."

    Li Kui nodded and said: "The prince is right, I must be sick, otherwise I wouldn't be afraid of Feitian. You can play, I will go to the Anshen doctor for treatment."

    With that said, he walked forward.

    After Li Kui left, everyone took turns to take off to enjoy the scenery of the Annan Kingdom.

    Because there was not much fuel in the fire, everyone just looked at it briefly and then lowered it.

    Everyone behind them did not fly alone, but was led by Hou Jian in a circle.

    Although the load capacity of the spacecraft is not large, it is still no problem to carry two people.

    Although we were not flying alone, it was the first time we took off in a hot air balloon. Everyone was still nervous, but not as much as Li Kui.

    Chao Yong felt a little guilty. He was invincible. Even if he encountered an elephant on the ground that went crazy and was unable to defeat him, he could avoid it. But in the air, he couldn't help it. If he fell from a height of dozens of feet, he would definitely not be able to survive.  So he has never taken a spaceship before.

    Until now, the six spaceships have taken off and landed hundreds of times without any problems. Only then did Chao Yong have the courage to fly this time.

    The hot air balloons of later generations often fall off in two, and the hand-sewn hot air balloons of this era are even more heart-wrenching.

    Fortunately, there was no problem this time. After rising to an altitude of tens of feet, the winding Furian River and the plains on both sides could be seen at a glance.
