The marriage between the two countries, the emperor's wedding, was celebrated by the whole world.

After the wedding ceremony was held in Suiyang, the two returned to Beijing.

In the same month, the two issued an imperial edict, declaring that from then on, Bei Zhao and South Vietnam would form an alliance, regardless of whether they were independent or not. At the same time, the country's name was changed to Zhao Yue, which was the first year of Tianyou.

After that, there was no Northern Zhao Emperor and Nanyue King, and they were called the Southern Emperor and the Northern Emperor respectively. The two emperors had the same honor. The two emperors honored the Queen Mother He as the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother, and posthumously named the late Mrs. Wang the Queen Mother Queen Mother; and the He family's rebellion case was re-tried.

After that, the He family was finally cleared of their grievances and restored to their former glory.

Later historical records referred to this as "the simultaneous rule of two emperors, the beginning of a unified and prosperous age."

God bless you in the spring of the second year, Suiyang.

Since Suiyang was appointed as the companion capital, he would handle court affairs in Suiyang every winter and spring; in summer and autumn, he would return to Beijing.

After several expansions, the palace in Suiyang was almost the same size as the imperial palace in Beijing. The original South Vietnamese aristocratic families and courtiers built mansions in Suiyang one after another for the convenience of discussing politics and to show their face in front of the new emperor.

Most of them have already moved to Suiyang.

In South Vietnam, just as Li Fengqi had promised, several treaty ports and docks were opened one after another. However, they were not located at the original border between the two countries, but at the borders of South Vietnam and maritime countries to facilitate maritime trade.

trade exchanges.

In the past, although South Vietnam was rich in products, its land was small and its population was not rich. Even though there was frequent overseas trade, there were no better craftsmen to build large ships, nor powerful weapons to escort them. However, since the two countries formed an alliance, the two countries have become indistinguishable.

‌I, the common people use the same popular documents, pay the same taxes, and enjoy the same policies to benefit the people. Such measures have generously encouraged exchanges between each other, or Beizhao merchants stationed in South Vietnam with their caravans,

Or people from South Vietnam went to Beizhao to settle, and some even went to Dongyi to reclaim wasteland.

And Ye Yunting advertised widely, recruiting talents, and recruited a large number of craftsmen from the private sector. Together with the original craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry, they began to study sea ships and more powerful weapons so that the fleet could sail farther and expand maritime trade.

get bigger.

Countless craftsmen spent more than four months before finally building a sea-going ship that was more than twice as tall as the previous old-fashioned sea-going ship.

Before returning to Beijing, Ye Yunting and Li Fengqi went to the dock to see the new ships.

The ship was parked beside the newly built and unopened pier. Many people came to see the news after hearing the news, and they all gasped in surprise. Although the two people who saw the results for the first time did not act too rude,

But he couldn't hide his surprise.

The new sea-going ship is four stories high, and its length and width are incalculable to the naked eye. It is like a palace on the sea. After several trials and improvements, it can now sail steadily on the sea.

The two were invited to the ship, and they saw that every cabin on the ship was guarded by soldiers with strong armor. The shipwrights and sailors were making preparations for the voyage in an orderly manner.

The shipbuilder followed beside them and introduced the improvements and functions of various parts of the ship to the two of them.

After saying that, he said cautiously: "Today we are going to sea to test the power of the newly added weapons. Do you two Your Majesties want to take a look?"

Ye Yunting was full of energy, nodded and said: "Yes."

When Si Zao heard this, his expression became excited. He took a few steps quickly and shouted at the top of his voice to order the crew to prepare to go to sea.

The sailors on the deck raised the sails, and the word "Zhaoyue" on the sails was flying and thick.

Ye Yunting and Li Fengqi walked to the bow of the ship and watched the sails being swollen by the sea breeze. At the same time, the ship's plank swayed slightly under their feet, and the huge ship turned around and started to move slowly.

There was shaking and dizziness at first. Ye Yunting could only hold on to Li Fengqi's arm to stabilize himself. But after the ship went out to sea, looking at the magnificent sea, he ignored the dizziness and held on to the side of the ship with both hands.

They leaned out and looked around with shining eyes.

"In the past, I could only see records related to the sea in travel notes. I never thought that one day I would be able to go to sea myself."

After the excitement, countless benefits emerged in Ye Yunting's mind: "Such a big ship can be as big as at least three old-fashioned sea ships. If all fleets in the future are equipped with such big ships, they can carry more cargo."

The profit from such a round trip will be immeasurable.

In the past, South Vietnam's large fleet was controlled by the royal family. Although the other caravans also went to sea, they were all small fishing boats. Now that the two countries have merged, this fleet will naturally belong to the imperial court. The profits from the trade between the fleets will be

All went into the national treasury.

Ye Yunting made a rough calculation, and his heart beat faster.

Li Fengqi had other ideas: "I heard that the countries on the sea are very wealthy and have many unheard-of things. If we can form a fleet and bring the elite of the army, it will not be difficult to defeat the countries on the sea.

"

When the soldiers opened up the territory, Ye Yunting was thinking about how to do business. But what he was thinking about was suppressing and plundering with force. Doing business must also pay attention to the exchanges, but if you can conquer the overseas countries and let them pay tribute every year,

But it saves a lot more money than doing business.

And if you conquer him, doing business will be easy.

The two of them thought about it, looked at each other, and smiled.

After a trial voyage with the sea-going ship, the two returned to Suiyang. Half a month later, they led the courtiers back to Shangjing.

At the end of spring and the beginning of summer, the weather in the south has become hot, but the chill of late spring is still there in the north. On the way back to Beijing, Ye Yunting took advantage of his youth and strong body and wore few clothes. As a result, before entering the capital, he was already there.

He fell ill. His whole body was in a state of confusion due to fever, and he was carried all the way back to the palace by Li Fengqi.

I called the medical officer to see him, and he said that he had caught a cold, wind evil had entered his body, and he had worked too hard before, and the hidden dangers had been stirred up, so he seemed to be menacing. The doctor prescribed antipyretic medicine, and if it could

Once the fever goes down, there will be no serious problem. If the fever cannot be brought down, you will have to increase the dosage of medication and supplement it with acupuncture. However, excessive dosage may cause harm to the body.

Li Fengqi looked grave and ordered someone to boil the medicine and feed him to drink it himself. After that, he ordered the court to stop and had people bring the memorials to the palace. Sometimes he would review the memorials, but when not, he would stay by the bed and give him the medicine.

Wipe away the sweat, and experience everything no matter how big or small.

Ye Yunting burned for three days in a row. The temperature rose and fell repeatedly, so he took care of it for three days without taking any clothes off.

On the fourth day, those who were so burned that they were unconscious opened their eyes.

The first thing he said when he saw Li Fengqi was: "I'm dreaming again."

Only the two of them knew the deep meaning of these words. Li Fengqi's expression darkened, and he dismissed the servant who was serving him. He fed him half a cup of warm water to moisten his throat, and then asked: "What did you dream about?"

Ye Yunting's body was sore and weak, and his thoughts were also sluggish. He squinted his eyes and thought about it for a long time, and then said: "I dreamed about ‌ after death."

Li Fengqi was surprised.

Probably because the fear in the dream was still there, Ye Yunting fumbled and held his hand and felt a lot more at ease.

According to time calculation, what he saw in the dream should be Li Fengqi's love affair five or six years after he ascended the throne. He had no relatives and no brothers to rely on. This time the emperor was lonely and indifferent.

He was very violent and warlike, and never stopped fighting during his reign.

First it was Xihuang, then Dongyi, and finally Nanyue.

Killing all the way, the emperor was invincible, but it also aroused the anger of the people. Some people rose up and tried to resist, but ultimately failed. Some people formed an alliance with South Vietnam, cooperated on the battlefield, and secretly launched cold arrows. This time, however,

It was a success.

At that time, there was no Queen Mother He in South Vietnam, the real power was General Jingyu Pang Guangxian, and the King of South Vietnam was He Lianjing.

Relying on the foundation left by He Lanyuan, Pang Guangxian took the emperor to command the princes, and also communicated with the countries at sea. Not only did he accumulate countless wealth, but he also secretly purchased a batch of powerful firearms.

That batch of firearms was extremely powerful. Haiguo, which had traded with Pang Guangxian, specially sent a group of people to South Vietnam to secretly train soldiers for South Vietnam.

It was with this batch of firearms and the traitors under Li Fengqi that Pang Guangxian cooperated and unexpectedly killed Li Fengqi on the battlefield.

Ye Yunting in the dream was like a ghost, watching helplessly as Li Fengqi's body was destroyed in the dazzling flames and deafening roar. The emperor's death, and the powerful weapon that was like a miracle, Beizhao was defeated.

Several generals loyal to Li Fengqi immediately led their troops to retreat, while Pang Guangxian took advantage of the victory to pursue and invaded Shangjing City. At this time, his ambition could no longer be suppressed. After He Lianjing died of illness, he was surrounded by ministers.

He ascended the throne as king with support, but died on the day he ascended the throne.

Pang Guangxian relied on the firearms provided by the Haiguo people to kill Li Fengqi and defeat Beizhao, but in the end he died under this powerful firearm.

The so-called method of sending people to use fire starters by the Haiguo people was just to deceive others. Their real purpose was to covet the wealth of this land. After Pang Guangxian's death, North Zhao and South Vietnam fell into chaos, and the Haiguo people's large ships

Then take this opportunity to dock.

Countless soldiers from the Hai Kingdom poured out with firearms and fought from South Vietnam to Beizhao, leaving mountains of corpses and blood flowing into the sea.

No matter whether it was South Vietnam or Bei Zhao, they were unable to resist.

Under the shock of firearms, the people lived like cattle and sheep. Under the common enemy, the bloody people of the two countries finally put aside their hatred and prejudices, united, and resisted the power of firearms with their flesh and blood. They were able to defend the country.

Northern Xinjiang is the last land.

But in the northern border area, war is raging, and people are like animals.

Such days have lasted for more than ten years, and there is no hope of ending in the future.

Being in the human world is like being in purgatory.

Ye Yunting experienced hatred and despair in his dream, and when he woke up, it was still unforgettable. He held Li Fengqi's hand tightly and said in a trembling voice: "I heard the caravan going out to sea say before that after going out to sea, keep going eastward.

About half a year ago, there was a sea country, and there were many gods-given things in the country..."

Without large ships, it is difficult for caravans to travel far. At most, they can only wander around the surrounding waters. When Ye Yunting heard about this "sea country" that was like "Penglai Fairy Mountain", he just smiled and passed it by. After all, the royal ship was the longest

I have only been on the sea for two or three months. Sailing on the sea for more than half a year is like a fantasy. How far does it have to go? How to identify the direction in such a far place? And in such a far sea, it is really difficult to find the direction.

‌Is there a country‌?

No one can know.

But Ye Yunting saw the Sea Kingdom in his dream, and the firearms brought by the people of the Sea Kingdom, which were like gifts from the gods.

Having had several previous dreams, he knew that everything in the dream was real. However, due to various factors, many things in this life could not happen.

But this does not mean that it will not happen in the future.
