In Haiyang County, inside the temporary government office of the Marshal's Mansion in Dajindu, a military meeting was taking place.
"Uncle, my nephew watched the test firing of eight liang tubes yesterday, and the effect was excellent. A small ball of half a kilogram was sprayed more than 200 steps, and it was almost possible to hit a wooden target. A thick wooden target like a ship's plank They were all pierced by one blow, and if it hit anyone, they would definitely die!"
The person who was reporting on the test firing of the small tube was Wuzui Wanyan Xiebao. He had already arrived in Haiyang County by sea.
Although there are no serious sailors in the Kingdom of Jin, they can at least sail. And Zhao Kai has not yet confiscated and recovered Zhigu Haikou, so his Song Dynasty is still a landlocked country and cannot stop the Jin people from retreating by sea.
As for the Southern Song Dynasty, whose ships were strong and powerful, they would not send a sailing battleship to the Bohai Bay to wade in the muddy waters!
According to the information obtained by the Jin Kingdom, during this period, while the two great powers in the north were fighting each other and had no time to pay attention to the south, Zhao Huan of the Southern Song Dynasty used his navy to the southeast and southern seas.
The navy of the Southern Song Dynasty first occupied the trading island called Liuqiu by the Tang Dynasty in the southeastern sea. This island was a transfer station for several Southeast Asian islands rich in spices and the trade of the Song Dynasty. Because the maritime trade of the Song Dynasty was very prosperous, it followed With the popularity, it started to become lively, and some kind of "Tian Sun Family" came out to establish a dynasty.
Isn’t Zhao Huan the “Emperor”? I heard that there was a "Tian Sun" overseas, so I sent Zhao Buqiu with the fleet to identify relatives - the Emperor is the father of Tian Sun!
So Zhao Buqiu destroyed the Tiansun Kingdom, and took all the Tiansun family to Jinling to recognize their relatives, and all of them were surnamed Zhao. And Liuqiu country became Liuqiu state...
While Zhao Buqiu perished and fled to the country, Zhao Shuze led the fleet to Indrapura, the capital of the Champa State - this was the most important transit point for trade between the Song Dynasty and Southeast Asia. Merchant ships going south or north usually They will all park here.
Therefore, if Zhao Huan wants to find a retreat in Nanyang (Zhao Da's vision is now broadened, of course, the more retreats the better), he must occupy a port near Indrapura.
Therefore, Zhao Huan sent Zhao Shu to help the Champa people resist the invasion of Chenla and Annan. Zhao Shu showed the front of the Champa people's naval warships what "ships are strong and powerful" in the sea off the coast of Indrapura. "After that, a good port was successfully obtained and named Nanping Port.
But the matter did not end there, because the Annan Li Dynasty next door to the city was panicked about the Song Dynasty's collusion with the city. So he began to constantly provoke at the border, and even sent an envoy to Jinling to demand that the Song Dynasty immediately withdraw from Nanping Port, otherwise "Dayue" would go to war!
And how could Zhao Huan dare to let those "Navy Red Deers" retreat? So we had to agree to go to war. However, he didn't want to make the matter too big (he didn't want to swallow up Annan in one go, he just wanted to settle down first), so he didn't send additional troops and navy to Zhao Shu.
He was only allowed to lead the fleet and land divisions that occupied Nanping Port to deal with the Annan attack.
The army of the Annan Li Dynasty saw that the Song Dynasty was "weak", so they sent 50,000 troops, entered the territory of the Champa Kingdom in the name of aiding Champa, and also surrounded Nanping Port.
But before Zhao Shu had time to repel the army of the Annan Li Dynasty, another Nanyang power, the Zhenla Empire, took advantage of the situation and invaded the Champa State's vassal state Bintong Longguo (later Annan-Saigon area). Bintonglongguo asked Zhao Shu for help.
Zhao Shu had no choice but to abandon Nanping Port, which was surrounded by Annan people, and led the fleet to rescue Bin Tonglong... As a result, the Southern Song Dynasty fell into a war with Annan and Zhenla at the same time, and the attitude of occupying the city They are also very ambiguous and unwilling to assist the Song army who traveled thousands of miles to protect them.
However, the Southern Song Dynasty's development in Liuqiu and the troubles it encountered in Nanyang had little to do with the Jin Kingdom and the Northern Song Dynasty. In particular, no one in the Kingdom of Jin would ask about the Southern Song Dynasty's overseas colonization. However, these news happened to be spread to Haiyang outside Yuguan after the Kingdom of Jin "returned triumphantly" from Yanshanfu Road. In the county seat.
Anyone with any brain would have thought that Zhao Huan had deliberately brought this information to the Kingdom of Jin.
Regardless of the authenticity of these messages, the message Zhao Huan wanted to convey was very clear - he was busy entangled with the Annan Kingdom, Zhenla Kingdom, and Champa Kingdom, so he had no time to look north. You, the Jin Kingdom and the Northern Song Dynasty, can fight as much as you want, just pretend that the official family does not exist!
This attitude... made the Dukes of Jin Kingdom very disappointed!
"Xie Bao, how much time do you need to create a sufficient number of small tubes?" Wanyan Zongqian asked with a frown, "With these small tubes, do we have enough chance of winning?"
"How can there be enough barrels?" Wanyan Xiebao said with a wry smile, "Although eight-liang barrels are easier to make than large barrels, we don't have many coppersmiths on hand. Even if we stop working on frying pots, large barrels, and hot pots, If you can build two hundred roots in a month, it will be as high as the sky."
"Two hundred...are not enough. It would be great if we could have six hundred. Besides, the weather is too hot now, which is not good for us." Wanyan Zongqian thought for a moment, "Can Zhao Kai give us three?" Months?"
"It's hard to say," Wan Yanqi took over the topic, "Zhao Kai is now setting up a prison in Yanjing City, and on the other hand, he is dividing his troops to plunder the territory. It seems that he wants to pacify most of the Hebei and Yanshan roads first, and then fight us in Yuguan. ...But it’s hard to say whether it can be delayed for three months.”
Wanyan Wu's eldest son Wanyan Zongpan also arrived in Haiyang County. He came from Liaoyang with a batch of military rations - now Wanyan and his gang are all grasshoppers on a rope, so Zongpan has no choice but to temporarily Put aside the grievances caused by the fight for the position of Zhu Banbo and come to help the Marshal Wanyan Zongqian.
Hearing Wanyan Zongqian's words, he suddenly thought about something and chuckled: "I have a way to hold Zhao Kai back! It's hard to say whether I can hold him back for three months, but I will definitely let Zhao Kai be held back." It’s hard.”
Wanyan Zongqian glanced at Wanyan Zongpan, who didn't have much brains. He didn't expect him to come up with any clever ideas, but he still asked patiently: "King Liao, if you have any clever ideas, just tell me!"
Wanyan Zongpan smiled and said: "How about letting Zonggou restore the surname Zhao and let him take over the territory of Jingdong Road and become the emperor of Song Dynasty?"
"Wanyan Zonggou...Zhao Gou?" Wanyan Zongqian muttered the name "Zhao Gou" in a low voice, and suddenly felt that this was a good idea!
He glanced at Wanyan Xiebao. Most of Jingdong Road belonged to his family!
Although he doesn't want it anymore, he hasn't given up yet... Being a lord for a day and receiving a tax for a day!
"Okay!" Wanyan Xiebao agreed happily, "But will Wuli Mei be willing to accept this son as emperor? He has been fighting tigers in Haizhou, Korea for several years..."
After beating tigers for so many years and never going home, it seems that the effect of this tiger whip is not very good!
Wanyan Zongpan waved his hand and said with a smile: "He has no say in this matter... My girl wants to become a queen, and now is an opportunity, why not let her get her wish!"
Wanyan Zong smiled and said: "Then King Lao Liao will go to Goryeo Haizhou!"
Someone has to go to Haizhou, Goryeo to "capture" Zhao Gou and make him the emperor!
Wanyan Zongpan patted his chest and said, "This matter is all on me!"
...
"Sichuan, Huguang, Shaanxi, Shanxi, Beizhili, Shanhaiguan is not in our hands, and there are Jurchens outside the customs..."
Within the Imperial City of Beijing, Zhao Kai was studying the map in the Imperial Study Room. The more he looked at it, the more he felt something was wrong!
Oh, Beijing was the former Yanshan Prefecture, and now it is the Song Dynasty Beijing Shuntian Prefecture!
Of course there are no place names for Huguang, Shanxi, and Beizhili, but the places are pretty much the same!
The territory that Zhao Kai now occupies seems to be as much Sichuan as that of Li Zicheng, who enjoyed more than forty days in Beijing.
At this moment, footsteps suddenly sounded, and then Dong Jingang's voice came from outside: "Brother Emperor, Dong Jingang wants to see you."
"Come in!" Zhao Kai turned his gaze away from the map, then looked at the door of the study, and then saw that Dong Jingang, who looked not much different from the angry-eyed King Kong, had already walked in with a smile, and arrived in front of Zhao Kai. Just a salute, and then holding a scroll in both hands.
"Brother Imperial, I have finished ransacking Cai Jing's house, and I have gained quite a lot!"
Well, there’s even “payment”!
Zhao Kaixin said: Am I copying Li Zicheng's homework? Is there just one Chen Yuanyuan missing now? Chen Yuanyuan should not have it.
Just as he was thinking of this, Dong Jingang suddenly took a step back, then clapped his hands and greeted outside the imperial study room.
What is this for?
Just as Zhao Kai was about to ask a question, he heard a clear and sweet female voice coming from outside: "Your Majesty..."
Immediately afterwards, the fragrance hit the nostrils, accompanied by jingling rings and swaying skirts, a beautiful and charming woman walked in. This woman wore a jade-colored gown with a red tube top underneath. The bulge was quite impressive, and her lower body was covered with water. The red dress is long, the hand is holding a fan, the figure is graceful and charming.
have to! Chen Yuanyuan has it all!
"Where did she come from?" Zhao Kai looked at Dong Jingang and asked.
Dong Jingan smiled and said: "She was copied from Cai Jing's house. She was a woman snatched away by Cai Jing."
Zhao Kai said: "Then it's time to let her go home. Why was she sent to me?"
Dong Jingan smiled and said: "My brother found out her identity, so I sent her to my brother...because this is her home!"
What?
Zhao Kai looked at the woman...she was indeed a beauty! This Dong Jinggang is indeed a good brother. Knowing that Guo Tiannu is busy mourning for Medicine Master Guo these days, I feel a little lonely, so I sent a beautiful beauty here.
But I am a wise king, and it is still not the time to be lewd!
Thinking of this, Zhao Kai said to Dong Jingang: "Jingang, I appreciate your kindness, but the war is not over yet, and the golden thieves are still entrenched in Yuguan. I can't settle for women, so..."
"Brother, you misunderstood." Dong Jingang waved his hand, "She is not the beauty that my brother dedicated to you."
Zhao Kai looked at the woman and said in his heart: Isn't this a beauty? Is she a transvestite?
Dong Jingang said: "She is your granddaughter, Princess Yu Liyan of the Liao and Shu Kingdom."
