Chapter 36513653【Tribute】
After comprehending the two elements of Fengliu and Yunyi, Xiang Nan has only the four elements of Providence, Selflessness, Moon Reflection and Sunlight that he has not yet fully comprehended.
But he doesn’t force it, because after these few years, he has practiced the "Innate Body-Breaking Invisible Sword Qi" to the third realm, the invisible sword Qi realm.
At this state, the sword energy can be released everywhere and without restraint. If you let out a breath at will, it will be a sword energy, which is extremely powerful.
And he has also mastered the sad little arrow.
This magical skill is driven by the internal power of the "Magic of Enduring Humiliation", coupled with the breath movement method of "Shan Zi Jing", and activates the ruthless power of heaven and earth to hurt people, so it can ensure that the arrows are not in vain.
Even if Zhuge Shenhou is as powerful as him, when faced with the sad little arrow, he can only use "open chest and big enamel" to dodge and cannot resist.
Therefore, with Xiang Nan's current martial arts, I dare not say that he is unrivaled in the world, but there are very few who can defeat him.
…
A few years later, I came to Shaoxing for eight years.
Firstly, it is to strengthen diplomatic and economic and trade exchanges between the two countries, and secondly, it hopes to obtain a formal title.
Since this was the first time the Luzon Kingdom in Nanyang paid tribute, the Southern Song Dynasty also attached great importance to it and entertained Gu Wuzheng grandly. Even Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty cordially received it.
In addition, Gu Xichao and Fu Wanqing are both very good-looking people, so Gu Wuzheng is also good-looking now. It's just that there are no decent women in Luzon.
Finally, Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty decreed that the country be named Lu Song, with Xiang Nan as King Xiang, Fu Wanqing as princess, Ruan Mingzheng and Xi Hongyu as wives, Gu Wuzheng as the eldest son of King Xiang, and marriage to Zhao Yuanzhi, the daughter of Prime Minister Zhao Ding.
Gu Wuzheng was born in the second year of Zhonghe and is now twenty-two years old. Xiang Nan taught him Kung Fu and knowledge since he was a child, so now he is also good at both civil and military skills.
So he needs to be recognized by neighboring countries. Although the Song Dynasty is now in a corner, it is still Chinese orthodoxy after all. Therefore, it is very important for Xiang Nan to be recognized by the Song Dynasty.
Because no matter how he establishes a country on his own and calls himself a king, he is still just a grassroots emperor. After leaving Luzon, if no one recognizes this identity, it is no different than playing house.
Gu Wuzheng then took a boat to Lin'an and expressed his intention to pay tribute through the Honglu Temple of the Ministry of Rites.
Nowadays, it is very easy for foreign countries to come to pay tribute. Although it is only a small country in Nanyang with a population of only four to five million, he still attaches great importance to it and receives it grandly.
…
Xiang Nan used his son Gu Wuzheng as the envoy and led the Luzon delegation to Lin'an to meet with Zhao Gou, Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty.
It turns out that since he came to the throne, he has suffered from many wars. Not to mention the surrender of the barbarians and the coming from all directions, he himself had to go to the Jin Kingdom to pay tribute, so he was very embarrassed.
So this time when he went to the Song Dynasty, Xiang Nan also hoped that Gu Wuzheng could find a good marriage.
So he specially sent his son as an envoy to the Song Dynasty. For this purpose, very generous tributes were prepared, such as corals, gems, pearls, spices, fruits, etc., which were enough to load three large ships.
They also agreed to Xiang Nan's request to be crowned king and Gu Wuzheng's request to marry him.
Subsequently, Gu Wuzheng returned to Luzon with his wife Zhao Yuanzhi and six ships of gifts from Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty.
Luzon paid tribute to three large ships of gifts, so he gave six large ships of gifts in return, including silk, tea, porcelain, gold, lacquerware, ironware, etc. It can be said that the value was much more than what Xiang Nan paid tribute. "It is indeed a great state in the Celestial Empire. No wonder so many foreign businessmen in ancient times visited the emperor under the guise of paying tribute." Xiang Nan couldn't help laughing.
Because ancient Chinese emperors paid attention to the uniforms of foreign guests and the coming of all nations, they were particularly generous to foreign envoys. Therefore, in ancient times, foreign businessmen often pretended to be envoys and paid tribute in the hope of receiving generous rewards.
Later on, this trend intensified. By the Ming Dynasty, the emperor was unbearable and issued a special decree that foreign envoys must bring documents of reconciliation before they can pay tribute.
…
After Gu Wuzheng came back, he also brought back news about the Central Plains Jianghu that Xiang Nan was concerned about.
First, Lianyun Village was indeed wiped out in the year of the Jingkang Incident. It turned out that when the Jin soldiers passed through, Qi Shaoshang and others hid in Ruinuo City, and nothing happened.
But later, in order to rescue the second emperor of Huiqin, Qi Shaoshang led his army to intercept the Jin soldiers, but was completely wiped out by the Jin soldiers. The eight village leaders, Xi Honglei, and even thousands of brothers were killed on the battlefield, and the ruined city was also burned to the ground by the Jin soldiers.
Secondly, Zhuge Shenhou and the Four Great Famous Captives also died heroically in order to protect the two emperors of Huiqin during the Jingkang Incident. Wang Xiaoshi led Jinfeng Xiaoyu Tower and Elephant Trunk Tower, and Lei Chun led Liufenbantang to also help defend the city. In the end, they all died heroically for their country.
After the defeat of Bianliang City, several major forces completely collapsed. Even if a small part escaped, most of them were sacrificed.
Third, Xiao Houye Fang Yingkan was originally placed in great importance by Song Huizong after overthrowing Cai Jing. After Song Qinzong succeeded to the throne, Fang Yingkan was demoted and dismissed.
But he did not sink there, but quickly got involved with the Jin Kingdom, and even prepared to open the city gate to welcome the Jin soldiers into the city during the siege. In the end, he died under the siege of Wang Xiaoshi and four famous arresters, and a generation of heroes came to an end.
Fourthly, there are three people who are most proud of in the Central Plains martial arts community. One is Li Chenzhou, the leader of the Power Gang, the second is Xiao Qiushui, the sworn leader of the Shenzhou, and the third is King Zhu Dayian of the Twelve Links Dock.
The three forces divided the world and were hostile to each other, causing disputes in the rivers and lakes. As the saying goes, "There are talented people from generation to generation, and each has been leading the way for decades."
Xiang Nan couldn't help but sigh with emotion when he heard the news.
Success or failure is all over the place, so why bother with the chaos back then.
I think back then, Zhuge Shenhou, the Four Famous Catchers, Lianyun Village, Ruinuo City, Liufen Bantang, Jinfeng Xiaoyu Tower, Fang Yingkan... these were all figures and forces that caused a sensation in the martial arts world. Trembling.
But now twenty years have passed, but they have all turned into dust. But the world is still the same world. People die one after another, but there are always new people emerging, always fighting for power, fame, wealth, and morality.
Ruan Mingzheng, Xi Hongyu and others learned that Lianyun Village and Suinuo City were gone, and they couldn't help but burst into tears again. Later, everyone couldn't help but admire Xiang Nan's foresight.
Fortunately, he led them to Luzon Island, opened up territory here, and settled down, otherwise, they would have died the same way. Therefore, Xiang Nan's popularity in junior high school is getting higher and higher.
…
In the following decades, Xiang Nan continued to lead the people to work hard to build the country of Luzon.
Under his management, the Luzon Kingdom became more and more developed, stronger and more prestigious, and even attracted many people from the Southern Song Dynasty to seek refuge.
After all, there are no wars, no hunger, and very few taxes. It is much better than staying in the Southern Song Dynasty.
As a result, Luzon's population surged, from 20,000 at the beginning to more than 5 million, becoming a large country in Southeast Asia.
Not only does it have a large population and a prosperous economy, but its culture and science and technology are also very developed. It has created explosives, artillery, spears, mines, etc., and has strong self-protection capabilities.
