Chapter 2610 Zhao Yun's Journey to the West (Part 2)
After boarding the ship, Zhao Yun's temperament had changed drastically. In the territory of the Song Dynasty, he was a prince and the King of Wei. Although he had a noble status, he had to keep a low profile everywhere. Some local officials were even reluctant to speak much when they saw him. This was chasing people in disguise.
Zhao Yunbi didn't care, and this was the right state, which showed that the rules of the country had not changed. Ministers and vassal kings were not allowed to communicate in private, let alone give gifts to each other.
Zhao Yun didn't think about trying to win over anyone, so he couldn't say that he had an old friend in private. For many years, Zhao Yun had almost no one who could make friends in the Song Dynasty. It was not that he was unwilling to do so, but that the court officials consciously rejected him.
Only Zhao Xu is the one who can talk to him, and of course Zhao Ren. The reason why this younger brother went to the West was probably because of the same reason as himself?
The prince is the prince after all. He either stays in the capital of God forever and becomes a slowly forgotten existence, or he goes out to explore and gain a piece of his own sky and land.
Although Fang Abbot was nominally the prefecture of the Song Dynasty, he was actually the emperor of the sky.
Most people didn't know how big it was, but they just thought that the grain, gold, silver, copper and iron produced there were, and they knew that it was just the same as the Song Dynasty.
I just don’t know that Fang Zhou is so big that he runs to death! There is a place that is only smaller than the territory of the Song Dynasty!
Zhao Yun could be called emperor at any time there, but he had no such plan, so his son Zhao Sixian must not have such plan, because their blood belongs to Zhao Song. As long as the Song Dynasty is still there for one day, they will always be the vassal kings of the Song Dynasty and will always be the ministers of the Song Dynasty.
My father once told himself that if one day the Song Dynasty became corrupt, power was seized by foreign tribes, and descendants declined, then the bloodline of the Zhao family in Fang Abbot’s Zhouzhou would be immediately called emperor, and there would be no hesitation!
Zhao Yun naturally knew what it meant, and he also believed that his father and Zhao Ren must have said the same thing.
Standing on the deck of the giant ship, Zhao Yun is in a very good mood now? It’s like a family member who is heading to visit relatives from afar. He knows that he is not alone in this world, and Zhao Ren is the same as him.
The eldest brother Zhao Xu presided over the Song Dynasty for the Central Committee? He presided over the Abbot Zhou in the East? The younger brother Zhao Ren presided over the Kingdom of Israel in the West? The children of the Tian family knew that triangles were the most stable since childhood.
Once the Song Dynasty changes, no matter what is going on, it will go to help. If it reaches a hopeless point? Then you will destroy it with your own hands? But Zhao Yun felt that he had no chance to wait for that day.
Zhao Yun didn't want to see the things in the cabin, and he would miss his mother and all the empresses after seeing them. He clearly remembered the way Concubine Xiao told him? The former Khitan queen missed her son and was almost crazy.
Zhao Yun couldn't help but smile when his father hid under the sycamore tree? Of course, he also saw his mother's concerning eyes? He could only kneel down and promise? This year he took Zhao Ren back to Xingjing to visit his father's mother and the concubines and the empresses.
Time at sea is always boring? But it is very happy for Zhao Yun? What else is there to worry about sailing on the sea freely and visiting relatives in the distance?
Of course, it is the best thing to encounter pirates on the road, especially after passing through the Strait of Malacca, the number of bandits on the sea began to increase.
But after seeing the banner of the Song Dynasty, most pirates stopped. This made Zhao Yun very dissatisfied. However, it also made Zhao Yun feel much more at ease? He knew that before, Shi San led the South China Sea Fleet to the west and wiped out many pirates on the sea.
Zhao Yun was full of awe for his old subordinates who assisted his father back then? The loyalty of these people was beyond doubt, and their methods were even more clever.
Zhao Yun was jealous of Zhao Ren because he didn't have the opportunity to select so many suitable talents when he went to Abbot of the Abbot, but Zhao Ren received his father's full help.
But soon Zhao Yun felt relieved. Fang Abbott Island did not have many challenges, except for the difficulty of working at the beginning and the difficulty of construction. As for the barbarians, they completely surrendered to the Song Dynasty in just a few attacks.
Now they have become the people of Abbott Island, and the young foreign tribes have completely integrated into Abbott Island. Those barbarians who are still stubborn in their thoughts can only hide in remote places and slowly die.
The fleet began to advance northwest along the coastline of the Tianzhu, ruled by the Song Dynasty. After a few bays, it only took a few months to reach the Mediterranean.
Zhao Yun's destination was not Oriental Port, but the "Haifa" port not far from Jerusalem. This place was originally a place where military strategists must fight for. Both the Crusaders and the Seljuk dynasty had been watching here for a long time. After taking Haifa, he opened the Jerusalem portal and also had a springboard to march into Jerusalem.
However, Zhao Ren led his troops to completely eliminate the possibility of foreigners spying on Haifa Port, and this port was also renamed "Haifang Port".
As long as the Eastern Port has a fleet of the Song Dynasty, any foreign race will not have the courage to defend the sea, because once it attacks the Haifang Port, it will inevitably be attacked by the South China Sea fleet, and the price is heavy. Even if it captures the Haifang Port, it may seize a piece of ruins or even a place of death.
When Zhao Yun's merchant fleet arrived at Haifang Port, the locals thought that the South China Sea fleet of the Song Dynasty had arrived, but when they learned that it was another prince of the Song Empire who led the fleet, everyone was stunned by the powerful national strength of the Song Dynasty.
An existence that has been admired by Westerners, and now another fleet of equally large has come. Whether it is the Roman Empire, the Seljuk Dynasty, or the local Jewish awe of the Song Dynasty, has been engraved into its bones.
The Crusaders never dared to rush their troops to Jerusalem, but instead pointed their finger at the Seljuk Empire. In contrast, the Seljuk Dynasty, which blocked the Roman Empire and the Song Empire, was easier to deal with.
The Kingdom of Israel was completely safe, but the Jews in the Kingdom began to turmoil, and some conservative old nobles began to have friction with the Song army.
The kingdom has no two days and no two masters. Although the Emperor and the Emperor of the Song Dynasty are equally noble, Zhao Zhen still handed over the rights in his hands to Zhao Xu, and he was only responsible for Western affairs, and there was no conflict in the scope of power between the two sides.
But the Kingdom of Israel is different. Zhao Ren’s fundamental purpose is to seize the Kingdom of Israel. Of course, he is also transforming it in his own way.
At this time, the interests of some old nobles will be violated. Five of the twelve nobles chose to continue to follow their king Jeroboam III, while the remaining seven nobles chose to surrender to the Song Dynasty and Zhao Ren's rule.
The Jewish army began to become chaotic because these armies were mixed with the aristocrats who were planted, which was the situation that Zhao Ren was most reluctant to see.
