    The imperial edict from Tokyo took a long time and traveled several times before reaching Jiaozhou. It was already difficult for the imperial city to deliver the news to the southernmost part of the dynasty. Feng Jiye was ordered to return to Beijing to report on his work.  {¡²¡´(¡²Íø) Feng Jiye went to Guangzhou and asked for an audience with Cao Bin at the Chinese army camp. Unexpectedly, he was rejected and was told that the commander had gone out. He also left a message saying that General Feng had been ordered to report his duties and should rush to Tokyo as soon as possible.  Don't stay for no reason on the way. Since you left a message, you knew that Feng Jiye was back and he was missing on purpose! Feng Jiye felt depressed. As soon as he left the city gate, he heard the sound of firearms coming from the suburbs. He immediately followed on horseback.  The sound found a school field. But he saw many infantrymen training on the school field, crackling and heavy smoke. Feng Jiye wandered in the distance for a while, and noticed with sharp eyes that there were many guards and flags near the houses near the school field. He expected that Cao Bin might be patrolling here.  He patted his horse and, as expected, he vaguely recognized Cao Bin, who was shouting from behind. Feng Jiye immediately shamelessly shouted to see Duke Cao, but the guard finally allowed Feng Jiye to come forward.  As if he hadn't seen him, he was busy pointing at the school grounds and only talking to his generals. Feng Jiye apologized and shouted loudly: "Feng Jiye, the forward of the Jiaozhou Army, pays homage to Duke Cao!" Everyone around him looked sideways, and then Cao Bin turned around.  Turning over to look at him, his face was very unhappy, with other complex emotions. He looked like someone who was quarreling and angry; a little complaining, but not resentful and hostile Cao Bin seemed to have found a way to clean up the mess.  Feng Jiye hurriedly said: "The general knew that he was reckless and offended Duke Cao. He passed by Guangnan this time and came to apologize." Cao Bin frowned and said, "Excuse me, let's go in and talk." After that, he handed over his hand.  He threw his whip to the guard, got off his horse, and walked to the barracks house behind. Feng Jiye quickly followed them to a simple and rough house, and then Lu Duan also walked in and said calmly.  The people on the field were very sparse, could they be Cao Cao¡¯s new recruits?¡± Cao Bin said angrily without warning, ¡°It¡¯s not General Feng¡¯s fault that caused such chaos to me! Otherwise, why bother?¡±  "This" Feng Jiye said awkwardly. Cao Bin took a deep breath to calm down and said bluntly: "Those people are all criminals in the prison cells and mines of the counties and counties in Guangnan. After they are trained, they will die with the guards."  The soldiers went to Champa and Malacca together. ""That's it." Feng Jiye said thoughtfully. "General Feng attacked Luocheng, burned, killed and looted. It seemed like a great achievement, but in fact he destroyed Duke Cao.  Cao Bin said: "The officials had mentioned long ago that the Malacca sea route in the South China Sea would be used as a boundary to delineate most of the maritime power.  It is too far and has not been implemented. Now the military government in the south occupies the stronghold of Jiaozhou. I have weighed it with the princes and thought that starting from Taipingbao, we can take it from the coast to Champa; then go south to Malacca and choose a place to build it.  The big and small Liuhua Forts can help the officials complete their plans. "Cao Bin said thoughtfully: "It's a merit or a fault that I went south this time. I think I can still fight for it." Feng Jiye said hurriedly: "The general will realize his mistake!  If Duke Cao is useful, the general will be willing to make up for it!  " "General Feng went straight to Luocheng, what's wrong?  "Cao Bin sneered. Feng Jiye said: "I am ashamed, because I am eager and greedy for success" Cao Bin then sighed: "It's not that I don't need you. The imperial decree calls you back to the capital. General Feng will go back to the capital first and then let's talk.  However, General Feng still thinks that if anyone dares to use you in the future, he must change his original temper.  It's no longer much like it was when the Central Plains was at war. Everything must have its own importance.  Before General Feng went on the expedition, did I clearly state the court's intentions and general arrangements?  Think about it again, what are the benefits of what you did in Jiaozhou this time?  " After sending Feng Jiye off, Cao Bin was also busy asking Lu Duan to write a memorial, requesting permission for him to continue marching south. The memorial asked for the establishment of three more provinces, Jiaozhi in the province, Champa in the province, and Mabao (Malacca Fortress).  In the province. Except for Jiaozhou, the strategy in other places was to build seaport fortresses, win over local leaders, and appoint governors of various provinces. Cao Bin was very appreciative of this strategy and proposed a petition.  He recommended Lu Duan to the Privy Council as a reward. At that time, the situation in Jiaozhou was out of control. The reason why Cao Bin stood still was not because he was afraid of being punished, but because the great opportunity to win the position of Lord Protector was lost. But now he thought that he had missed it!  It is said that it has added three major provinces and expanded its power. It is very exciting to have this achievement on the table! The situation in Jiaozhou cannot be finalized. Who will win? Cao Bin thinks he can still fight for it.  one sideAfter getting ready, he decided to send a fast horse north to deliver the memorial.  ¡­ It¡¯s getting colder in Tokyo at this time, and it seems like the first snow of the year won¡¯t be far away.  Winter is the last season and the year goes by in a blink of an eye.  The Yangde Hall in the Imperial City is still warm, and the evergreen plants growing in pots make the place less desolate in autumn and winter and appear full of vitality.  Guo Shao knew clearly which plant had withered a branch and leaf. Watering them from time to time has become one of Guo Shao's hobbies.  Amid the greenery, there are maps on the walls and tables, as well as files and memorials that have been temporarily moved in.  Guo Shao stood by the wall and looked at the rough and imprecise lines at the bottom of the map. He suspected that the shapes of the islands were also drawn incorrectly, but there was no other way now. It was good to have some understanding of distant places.  Now he can only rely on these drawings and texts to control his territory.  This is the case with big things. One person cannot grasp every place in person, and can only rely on others and these pictures and texts; but what can really be grasped are only small things, such as the growth of the flowers and plants in the palace, which can be seen and touched.  There was an open memorial on the desk, which described the provinces of Jiaozhou, Champa and Marburg. However, Guo Shao could only look at the extremely abstract and simple lines on the map and tried his best to display his words.  Imagination, rely on imagination to figure out what those places are.  Champa should be located in the southern region of "Vietnam". Champa rice is very famous; the entire Vietnam area has sufficient light and water resources and high grain yield. From the perspective of resources, occupying this area has real benefits.  Yesterday, Guo Shao asked the Ministry of Rites and found out that the ruler of the city had sent people to pay tribute during the (later) Zhou Dynasty.  Daxu replaced the Zhou Dynasty and established the country. There was no large-scale civil war at all during the dynasty change. Even today, a large number of officials in the dynasty are also officials of the Zhou Dynasty, so the damage was very small. The founding of Daxu did not last long, so the ruler of the occupied city paid tribute.  The records are very clear, even the instruments in boxes made of precious wood and some gifts in bottles are still in the government warehouse.  The civilization and technology of the Champa people are definitely not as advanced as those of the Central Plains. If they can reach the Central Plains, then Guo Shao can conclude that the Jiaolong Army warships have better ships and technology and can definitely reach Champa easily.  Marburg is just an empty fortress with only a name. Based on Cao Bin¡¯s description and the crude map he obtained, Guo Shao guessed that the location was not the Strait of Malacca he mentioned a few years ago, but the Strait of Singapore.  This place is a bit far away. Last time the Da Xu Jiaolong Army sent a fleet to reach India through here, they lost most of their warships and men.  Guo Shao had to consider the experience, technology and cost of achieving rough development.  At this moment, Guo Shao heard someone behind him. He turned around from the direction facing the wall and saw the eunuch Cao Tai holding a clay pot.  When Cao Tai saw Guo Shao turning around, he bowed and said, "Liu Renzhan, the military governor of Pingzhou, gave the eldest queen a human ginseng last time. The eldest queen personally cooked some in chicken soup and asked her slaves to deliver it to the officials." "  Oh? Then I have to try it." Guo Shao said happily, not because he thought human ginseng was strange, but because he heard that Fu Jinzhan cooked it himself.  Cao Tai also smiled happily and said: "Your Majesty, wait a moment, the servant hasn't brought the bowl and spoon yet." Guo Shao sat down on the chair, picked up the brush on the inkstone, and wrote a few paragraphs on a piece of white paper.  Yang Ye and Cao Bin were ordered to estimate the annual expenditures required from the treasury in the northwest and south.  The government is ordered to budget for the next three years from various taxes, the province's silver and coinage and other income, as well as budget for the court's expenditures. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out?????  Last month, a local official wrote a memorial praising Guo Shao, saying that Guo Shao was an unprecedented sage, and asked the emperor to enshrine Mount Tai to inform God of his great achievements. Guo Shao immediately threw the memorial into the wastebasket.  When Cao Tai came back with the dishes and spoon, he scooped some out and put it on the plate, drank it himself, and then put the soup in the bowl.  Guo Shao drank the whole can of chicken soup, took out his handkerchief and wiped his mouth, then pointed at the paper on the case and said: "Take it to the study and give it to the cabinet to assist the administration." Cao Tai hurriedly said: "Slave servant  "According to the order." Guo Shao suddenly thought of it and said: "Call Yang Shiliang over again." He turned his head and glanced at the pictures he was facing all day long, and thought to himself, it is too unsafe to conduct a private visit in the south and north.  It would be too tiring for people and money, but if you only stay in Tokyo outside the imperial city, there would be nothing to do Tokyo is the capital of Daxu, under the emperor's feet, so public security is pretty good.  Not long after Cao Tai left, Yang Shiliang came into the palace to pay his respects.  Guo Shao glanced at the tall eunuch and said, "You and Jing Niang discuss it and send people from the Imperial City Department to tidy up my old house. I want to live there for a few days." "I obey the order." Mr. Yang Shiliang  Answer onevoice, and then said, "My servant first checks the population of each household on the street, sets up secret sentries in nearby places, and then arranges the inner palace guards in the courtyard opposite the mansion. When other things come to mind, we will make other arrangements." In the blink of an eye,  After a while, the eunuch had a plan. After hearing this, Guo Shao was very satisfied with him and nodded in praise: "You have always done a good job." Yang Shiliang bowed and said, "I will retire and tell Eunuch Cao about this later.  "8
