Chapter 320 Yazhou

The Qiongzhou Island in the game is a place outside of personalization, and it is also another strategic location in Ouyang Shuo's plan.

After the game map is expanded tenfold, Qiongzhou Island covers an area of ​​350,000 square kilometers, larger than the Lianzhou Basin. It is bordered by Qiongzhou Strait and Lingnan in the north, facing Guangxi and Vietnam in the west, facing the South China Sea in the east and facing Yizhou Island in the east, and bordering Luzon, Brunei and Johor in the South China Sea in the southeast and south.

During the Ming Dynasty, the imperial court set up Qiongzhou Mansion on Qiongzhou Island, with ten counties under Danzhou, Wanzhou and Yazhou.

Among the three states, Danzhou is located to the west of Qiongzhou Island, geographically, just opposite to the Lianzhou Basin. Logically speaking, Danzhou is a good place to land.

Ouyang Shuo aimed his gaze at Yazhou, the southernmost tip of Qiongzhou Island. Not for anything else, just because Yazhou is more suitable for building a military port than Danzhou.

Yazhou will definitely become the best frontier base for Ouyang Shuo to attack the sea.

To choose Yazhou, Ouyang Shuo needed to take a big risk.

Because Qiongzhou Island has been inhabited by Li, Miao, Hui and other aborigines for generations, among which the Li people have the longest living history. Most of these aborigines live in the central and southern parts of Qiongzhou Island. Yazhou, located at the southernmost tip of the island, is naturally one of the main gathering places of these tribes.

If you choose Yazhou, you must face the threat of the natives on the island.

In his previous life, according to the information Ouyang Shuo learned from the forum, the few surviving player territories on Qiongzhou Island were basically built in the north and northeast coastal areas, where the main settlements of the Han people were.

***********

On January 16th, the second year of Gaia, the Marquis of Lianzhou.

Ouyang Shuo summoned the four directors and the general Bai Qi to discuss the matter together.

"Two days later, the Marquis will lead the Guards Brigade and the Beihai Fleet to go on a long sea trip, and it is estimated that they will not be able to return to the Marquis Mansion until before New Year's Eve. As soon as the territory responds to military and political matters, all of you here will jointly decide."

As soon as Ouyang Shuo finished speaking, everyone was shocked.

Du Ruhui, the director of military affairs who just took office, is full of black lines. Seeing that the situation in the grassland is becoming more and more tense, a war is about to break out. At this juncture, Junhou wants to leave the territory, so how can we not let him go crazy.

Bai Qi is an old god. When he was in Qin State, he had an overview of the country's military affairs, and he had long been accustomed to accepting the orders of the kings abroad. As long as the kings and lords fully authorized him, his presence or absence would not affect his combat command.

As for Fan Zhongyan and Tian Wenjing, in charge of the government affairs of a county, it is not a big test for them. What they are worried about is the impact on the morale of the army and the people when the prince is not in the territory.

Among the five giants, Yingyou has the lowest qualifications. As long as it is not related to financial matters, she basically does not speak, and is a quiet listener. Recently, there has been a gust of evil wind blowing in the territory, and the target is directed at her, the director of finance.

There are rumors in the market that she is only in a high position relying on the favor of the lord and the status of the lord's righteous sister. In terms of ability, compared with the other three directors, they are far behind, and they are not worthy of the big responsibility.

The gossip and gossip made Yingyou feel a lot of pressure, and often couldn't sleep at night. Although she has a clear conscience, she can't resist the words of others. In the dead of night, Yingyou sometimes doubts herself.

During this period of time, Yingyou was walking on thin ice. She couldn't fight back these rumors and use her tongue; she could only work hard to make achievements, and use real political achievements to fight back against those who maliciously slandered her.

When Ouyang Shuo heard the news, he was extremely furious, and demanded that the Criminal Division investigate the matter thoroughly, and anyone who dared to spread rumors would be sent to jail and convicted according to the law.

Ouyang Shuo has seen Yingyou's intelligence and hard work, so where is there any personal affair?

Ouyang Shuo was furious. Apart from feeling sorry for Yingyou, he was also extremely vigilant against this unhealthy trend in the territory. With the continuous advancement of the territory, the population has expanded rapidly, and various characters have appeared on the stage, and good and bad people are mixed together.

Various interests are intertwined and intricate.

The simple folk customs that existed when the village was first built have long since disappeared.

This was something that Ouyang Shuo didn't want to see, but happened right before his eyes. Ironically, he was powerless to stop it. The Marquis of Lianzhou demonstrated his status and separated him from ordinary people.

The taste, only self-knowledge.

"Your Majesty, what is the purpose of going here?" Fan Zhongyan asked.

"The destination of this trip is the overseas island - Qiongzhou Island. The Marquis will build another territory there to expand the strategic depth of the territory." Ouyang Shuo briefly explained.

When Da Bing'er entered the game, Ouyang Shuo chose her game mode as territory construction, and was already thinking about Qiongzhou Island.

The plan has not been implemented for three main reasons.

One is that the foundation of the territory is not stable, so it is not suitable to rush to open up another territory; the second is that warships do not have the conditions for long-distance sailing, and there are certain risks in going to sea rashly; the third is that there is no suitable place to build a village. Tokens, village building tokens below the silver level, really can't catch Ouyang Shuo's eyes.

The second system auction solved Ouyang Shuo's problem once and for all.

Therefore, after the "Longshou" was successfully launched, Ouyang Shuo couldn't wait to prepare for the long journey.

When Ouyang Shuo went here, he not only brought a large army, but also brought a large number of grassroots government officials, various craftsmen, various skilled personnel and various materials to ensure that once he arrived in Yazhou, he would be able to gain a firm foothold.

In addition, he also plans to transfer a group of salt workers from the Beimu Salt Field to develop salt fields in Yazhou.

After listening to Ouyang Shuo's plan, the four directors were silent, they really had no reason to object to the monarchy wanting to expand the territory. As for Ouyang Shuo's personal safety, there is basically no big problem with the guards of the Imperial Guard Brigade.

Ouyang Shuo authorized Bai Qi, during his absence in the territory, Bai Qi has the right to mobilize and command all the troops in the territory, to deal with the war as appropriate, whether to fight or stop, can be decided by one person.

Authorize Fan Zhongyan, as the head of civil servants, to command the officials of the Houfu and handle all government affairs as appropriate.

After appointing the two persons in charge of the military and administration, Ouyang Shuo immediately announced the end of the meeting. The specific arrangements, Ouyang Shuo will go to them alone to explain to them one by one, there is no need to discuss together at the meeting.

After the meeting, Ouyang Shuo asked Song Jia to go to the Dongli Sword Sect to inform Song Jia that she would go with him.

The boundary of Yazhou is roughly located in Sanya in reality. During the New Year's Day, it is a good time for leisure and vacation. Ouyang Shuo also wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to take Song Jia and Bing'er to the beach to have a good time.

Previously, Ouyang Shuo had asked Gu Xiuwen to build a courtyard by the beach outside Beihai City for him to take Binger to play on the beach.

Unfortunately, because things are busy, it has not been able to take place.

After the other courtyard was built, it has been empty. Ouyang Shuo heard that Gu Xiuwen had specially arranged people to guard and take care of the other courtyard, but it was not deserted.

After New Year's Day, the climate in the Lianzhou Basin is not suitable for playing at the beach.

Now that there is a better place to go, Ouyang Shuo naturally wants to make up for the regret.

One piece and one relaxation are the right way. Although Ouyang Shuo is a lord, he doesn't want to devote himself to government affairs. Proper vacations are still very necessary.

Furthermore, managing the territory is important, but family members cannot be ignored.

A gentleman will not do it if he sacrifices the root and seeks the end.

Ouyang Shuo no longer remembered how long he hadn't played with Bing'er. The time spent with Binger is not as good as the company in reality. Thinking of the original oath, Ouyang Shuo felt a little ashamed.

There is a saying about the visitor: companionship is the most sincere confession.

***********

In the afternoon, Mr. Sun made a surprise visit.

"Ouyang, I heard that you are taking your sister to Yazhou for vacation?" Elder Sun asked directly without going around the bush.

Ouyang Shuo nodded and said with a smile, "What? You always want to see the scenery of Yazhou?"

"I'm an old man, why go to Yazhou, besides, it's the busiest time for the shipyard, and I can't get away even if I want to." Sun Lao shook his head.

"Then what do you mean by old age?" Ouyang Shuo was puzzled.

Seeing Ouyang Shuo's innocent expression, Elder Sun became furious. As Sun Xiaoyue's grandfather, he knew his precious granddaughter very well. This girl has been "living together" with Ouyang boy for more than half a year, and they have been in love for a long time. Coupled with the infinite charm that Ouyang boy exudes in the game, this girl has deep roots in love.

It's a pity that the concubine is interested, but the man is ruthless.

This kid Ouyang didn't know how to do it, he fell in love with Song Jia suddenly by accident, and even put on a posture that he would not marry unless Song Jia, which made people love and hate him at the same time.

Seeing his granddaughter getting depressed day by day, and lovesickness becoming sick, Mr. Sun always saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart.

Sometimes Mr. Sun also hated his granddaughter for being too honest and not up-to-date, and didn't know how to actively fight for it. Anyway, she also got to know Ouyang Shuo first, before Song Jia officially confirmed her name, she still had a chance.

The granddaughter didn't live up to it. As a grandfather, he naturally wanted to help and create opportunities for the granddaughter. No, when he heard that Ouyang Shuo was going to take Song Jia and his younger sister to Yazhou for vacation, the old man rushed over with a face.

"It's like this. Xiaoyue has been busy helping Shanhai City with urban planning recently, and she is almost exhausted. I think, just take this opportunity to let her go to Yazhou to relax with you. Let me tell you, I But just such a precious granddaughter, we can't let her get exhausted because of the territory." Elder Sun said half-truthfully.

The old man has something in his words.

A trace of unnaturalness flashed across Ouyang Shuo's face, and he forced a smile and said, "Okay, as long as Xiaoyue likes it, of course it's fine on my side." No matter how dull he was, he could understand the deep meaning in Sun Lao's words.

Elder Sun nodded, he had already said what should be said, boy Ouyang is not an idiot, presumably he has understood his intention, and sighed in his heart: My dear granddaughter, Grandpa can only help you so far!

"Okay, that's all, I'm leaving!" Sun Lao got up and said goodbye.

"Go slowly!" Ouyang Shuo hurriedly got up to see him off.

Elder Sun waved his hand: "No need to give it away, just understand what I mean."

"Hey!"

Ouyang Shuo sighed inwardly, and was stunned in place.
