It is time for the dry season to turn rainy season in Jiaozhou, which has a warm climate.

With the arrival of the rainy season, the place has entered the hottest month of the year at the same time.

For several days, the big sun hangs in the sky. Whether it is natives or new and old immigrants, they are all bathed in the bright sunshine. The sky is blue and the sun is dazzling, and the whole weather is as if it is sunny.

Outsiders will not understand why there are so many sun rains here. She always comes and goes as fast as she can, just like teasing you.

Hongji Port. A newly developed port in central Jiaozhou.

With the development of Hongji Coal Mine, Jiaozhou's economy has once again found a new growth point. Although this is far from the industrial era, the value of coal and the economic benefits brought by transportation are far less than becoming the economic pillar of a certain place.

But the coal resources of Hongji Coal Mine are too rich and too easy to mine.

In a large coalfield and mining area, you only need to gently uncover the layer of soil covered with the surface, and you can mine open-pit.

It is easy to mine, with high quality coal mines, huge reserves, closer to the coast, and easy to transport. Even in the current era, it can still make the coal industry prosperous.

At the same time, Hongji Port is also a military port. A large number of "mercenaries" withdrawn from overseas vassal states were placed here to restore their spirits and then allocated garrisons from various places. At the same time, many local and Lingnan local soldiers were gathered here.

Being a mercenary is quite profitable, so everyone has to take turns to come. The army has always been prevalent in sharingism, and eating alone is not enough!

Many soldiers were patrolling the streets.

From time to time, people will be inspected and questioned by soldiers. Although the atmosphere is not serious, there is also a hint of tension.

Because it is time for the Jiaozhou army to rotate again.

Angkor and other countries are not fools, so they will definitely send people to investigate.

Because the next time is the rainy season, and the teams that can fight during the rainy season will definitely not be a large number of northern Han troops, but more of them are local soldiers from Lingnan, Jiaozhou.

But as we all know, the number of local soldiers recruited by the Song army in Jiaozhou was not too large.

Then how many local natives are willing to eat this war meal and how many people can be raised? Even Xu Huiyan cannot say until the last moment comes.

After being in charge of Jiaozhou for many years, Xu Huiyan's prestige was relatively high among the natives.

Nowadays, a large number of local people under him, whether they are from Jiaozhou or from Lingnan, even if they are rough-minded, they may still have old grudges between them, but under his command, they can maintain military discipline.

The Song Dynasty also had local officials in Jiaozhou. Although there were not many, the size was smaller than that of the local officials in Lingnan. However, these local officials were not afraid of the local officials in Lingnan at all.

The troops brought by these local officials in Jiaozhou were combined with all the local local soldiers of the Song army themselves, plus the local soldiers from Lingnan, which would be all the mercenaries that King Wu and King Xu could hire in the next few months.

In fact, the situation facing King Wu and King Xu has improved greatly compared to the beginning.

The Angkor people almost acknowledged their occupation of the other place. In the previous fights, the Angkor army had already tasted the power of the Song Dynasty's iron fist. They relied on it as the elephant soldiers of the Great Wall, and became so vulnerable in front of the medicine powder and the powerful bow and crossbow.

The defeats of several head-on battles made Sujevarman II understand the final result.

If the combat effectiveness is not as good as that of others, then how can the war be improved no matter how long it is delayed?

The Song people occupied the remote places of the Angkor Dynasty, and were still quite far from the essence of the Angkor Dynasty. Sujjvarmo II could breathe a sigh of relief for a while.

In other words, the Bagan Dynasty (Myanmar) in the west and Champa in the east each shared part of the pressure from the Angkor Dynasty.

A mere Angkor dynasty could not tolerate two great Song vassal kings. According to the definition before the founding of the country, although the Wu Kingdom settled on the central plain of Siam, its main target of attack was not Angkor in the east, but Bagan Burma in the west.

Zhao Chuang, the King of Xu who settled in the Mekong Delta in later generations, looked at Chameng in the north after defeating the Angkor army's expedition.

Myanmar is a good place. Although there are mountainous and hilly plateaus on the east and west sides, the alluvial plains in the south and the central and southern regions are enough to allow millions of people to reproduce and thrive. Not to mention that Myanmar also borders India!

Zhao Huan was envious and jealous of the princes in the land of India. That place was simply the paradise he had always dreamed of.

Of course, Zhao Huan never expected that he could take over the benefits of Tianzhu alone, but he believed that he could take advantage of the east wind of the Song Dynasty to develop Tianzhu.

As for whether the Song army would advance towards India in the future, Zhao Huan was not worried at all. Based on his "cognition" of Zhao Gou, he even felt that he didn't have to wait at all.

It is not guaranteed that the Great Wu Kingdom, which had not yet eaten Bagan, had already entered India.

After defeating the Angkor Dynasty's conquest army in several battles, Zhao Huan did not march towards the essence of the Angkor Dynasty at all, but turned around and couldn't stop annexing his Western tribes.

The Bagan Dynasty had sent secret envoys to Angkor several times to discuss the alliance with Sujavarmo II. The border towns were also on high alert to defend against the invasions that the Wu army would inevitably come.

Zhao Qi and Zhao Huan also have the same effect here. The army abandoned Angkor and pointed at Chameng on the grounds that Chameng secretly helped Angkor. In a sense, this also comforted the Angkor people!

Although Chameng Kingdom had sent envoys to Bianjing several times and cried.

But the moment Zhao Gou sealed Zhao Huan and the others overseas, he had already put his face down and put it in his pocket.

The situation on the Indochina Peninsula is that the Angkor Dynasty and Wu and Xu gradually calmed down the war, and the battle had turned to Bagan and Champa. Not to mention whether the latter two could resist the troops of Wu and Xu, but only the Song Dynasty's development in the Indochina Peninsula was able to applaud and cheer.

However, whether it is Bagan or Champa, one of the two countries has a vast territory and the other has a lasting national victory, which is not a win at hand.

After all, the vassal states are not their own country. When Wu and Xu states discuss strength, they cannot be said to be rich and strong in the country. The reason why the military force is sharp is that Zhao Song is exerting his strength behind it.

But the country's help is not without cost. In just a short period of time, Zhao Huan and Zhao Qi have spent most of their wealth? If they cannot recover their health as soon as possible, the help from their motherland will soon say goodbye to them.

In Wu and Xu, the military power of the State of Wu will naturally be lost.

Therefore, the current mercenary exchange is crucial for both vassal states. Because this is very likely to be the last chance of the two vassal states. If they cannot burn the war to the rich "enemy territory" and make great progress in the next few months, the mercenaries will never be returned.

For ordinary local soldiers, the result was just like this, and they just lost a chance to make extra money. However, the impact on the two vassal kings and Xu Huiyan himself was a huge impact.

Xu Huiyan’s mission is not just to simply provide mercenaries to the vassal states. Taking advantage of this opportunity to completely eat Chameng is his real contribution.

Otherwise, just mercenaries would be his job.

Soldiers, only if they have military achievements can soldiers and generals be promoted and wealthy, and return home in a rich manner.
