Matsuyamaji agreed to Zhao Zhen's request. In fact, from the very beginning, he and his king, Sun Mingji, knew that the Song Dynasty would require troops to be stationed in Ryukyu Kingdom, which was almost the basis of the Song Dynasty's foreign policy.

Of course, before coming, Tiansun Mingji guessed this condition, so before Matsuyama set off, he specifically explained, "If the Song people garrisoned the troops, they would be the promise."

Building ports and garrisons was also the most normal thing for the Song Dynasty. Before he knew it, Zhao Zhen had already begun colonial rule. Of course, the Protectorate was not considered colonial rule, but direct rule.

The status of the Song Dynasty in the South China Sea countries was not colonial rule, but established the Protectorate and Prefectures, and carried out direct rule. There is no doubt that the Fujian Navy and the Nanhai Navy were the two most elite navy troops in the Song Dynasty.

Their existence is not only to resist pirates, but also to shock the old subordinates of the South China Sea countries. Anyone who dares to confront the Song Dynasty and intends to restore the old rule will be ruthlessly attacked.

The Song Dynasty's policies to treat foreign races were never violent suppression. Although they also existed, there were also relatively moderate policies in it. Trade opened the way with trade and appeased the people with relatively fair policies. The officials of the Song Dynasty had long ago done this.

Wang He and Dong Kun finally let go when they saw Sancai. The high-ranking official's face was pretty good, at least much better than when he just summoned the envoy of the Ryukyu Kingdom, Matsuyama.

Zhao Zhen’s imperial decree to the Ryukyu Kingdom was not something that could not be told. Sancai mentioned it a little, and Wang He and Dong Kun knew that the official family was in a good mood.

In fact, there have been voices about the Ryukyu Kingdom. After all, even the Japanese Kingdom has become the Haidong Prefecture of the Song Dynasty. If a small Ryukyu Kingdom still knows how to advance and retreat, it should pay tribute to the Song Dynasty.

Of course, it is also excellent to join the Song Dynasty and become the prefecture of the Song Dynasty...

Looking at the two people in front of him, Zhao Zhen always felt something was wrong with them, but he couldn't say it. At least something was wrong with his attitude, and confusion occupied their entire face.

"What's wrong with the two Qing families? What can you be confused about when I summon you?"

Wang He politely said: "The officials, and I have never thought that the officials came to Quanzhou just to summon us. If I want to be a minister and come to the capital to meet the saint."

"The emperor left Beijing, and it is inappropriate for the officials to do so. Please be careful!"

As a minister, doing this is reasonable. Of course, Zhao Zhen would accept the advice of Wang He and Dong Kun, but Zhao Zhen also had his own purpose. This southern tour was to check the development of the southern Song Dynasty, and it was also Zhao Zhen's first time to check the navy of the Song Dynasty.

"I'm not leaving Beijing this time"

The Age of Discovery began several years ago, with the sea ships in Quanzhou Port intertwined, and the navy was the top priority for ensuring all this.

Zhao Zhen’s plan was that from now on, the Song Dynasty would become a maritime power, and escort was no longer simply to send cargo ships to the Strait of Malacca, but to the farther West.

All Zhao Zhen's plans were proceeding in an orderly manner. Why did he conquer the countries in the South China Sea? It was to build a powerful maritime power.

As for why you need to make a big move at sea, of course it is to ensure the strength of the Song Dynasty.

Now the Navy of the Song Dynasty did not have a qualified general or military supervisor, nor a person who could command the Navy of the Song Dynasty, so Zhao Zhenbing planned to screen during this southern tour.

Wang He and Dong Kun are the people Zhao Zhen is optimistic about. Both of them have unique and rich experience in maritime combat and management. Wang He’s general Dinghai was not for nothing. As for Dong Kun, he also did a great job in the Penghu Inspection Office.

Both of them were highly praised by both of them, and Zhao Zhen had the easiest way to examine their abilities and board the ship for inspection in person.

What others say is always what others say. Perhaps there is truth, but there are also exaggerated elements. As the emperor, Zhao Zhen, has long been used to these.

Of course, the relationship between Wang Gui and Wang He is naturally extraordinary, otherwise the left-behind general in Tokyo would not have recommended him so directly.

The two of them were partners during the Northern Expedition, one was a general and the other was a military supervisor, which was considered to have been made from a big pot.

Regarding Wang He, the court had a good evaluation, and in the General Staff and Military Affairs Office, he praised his experience at sea. Management experience is more important than combat experience.

Sea is not land, and to ensure the combat capability of a fleet, it depends entirely on the cooperation of top and bottom management.

Since the Northern Expedition, Wang He has entered the Military Martial Arts Academy and like Wang Shao, he has served as a military position. This is an extremely rare thing and he has great determination.

Who doesn’t know that sitting in the yamen is more comfortable than being in a military tent? Who doesn’t know that using a pen is less efficient than using a knife?

Zhao Zhen admired the civil servants who had such perseverance, especially those like Wang He who had experienced the Northern Expedition.

For Zhao Zhen, the Northern Expedition that year created a large number of people with extraordinary courage and both civil and military skills. Among them were military generals and civil officials. After the baptism of that year, civil officials made greater progress than military generals.

The perfect academic environment of the Song Dynasty made rationality increasingly prevail, and both the court and the people no longer discriminated against military positions.

The importance of force to the Song Dynasty was highlighted, and people looked at problems more and more rationally, especially after the rise of military and legalists, the academic environment of the Song Dynasty began to change.

Although Confucianism still has a dominant academic career, more people realize that Confucianism is not only correct, and other schools of thought have correctness.

What the Song Dynasty needed was not "abolishing all schools of thought and respecting Confucianism", but the confluence of "all rivers and rivers east to the sea"!

Some people have begun to promote, "Adopting the strengths of hundreds of schools and strengthening the learning of China!"

This is an amazing slogan and a very meaningful slogan. Zhao Zhen deeply understood that this was the case with China in later generations. "Taking the essence and removing the dross" is the true meaning of academics.

The attitude of seeking truth and seeking truth from facts is the right one, which determines the future of the Chinese nation.

At this point, Wang Shao did it well and Wang He did it well. Zhao Zhen not only received a memorial recommended by Wang Gui, but also received a memorial recommended by Wang Shao, a person who had very few relationships with Wang He and could even be said to have no memorials.

Wang Shao's comments on Wang He were extremely high in his memorials, not only praised his strategic vision and pattern, but also praised his rich maritime combat and management experience.
