Chapter 336 0333 [Yanyun Urgent Report]

The sixth day of March.

Han Zhen, who had returned from Linzi to worship his ancestors, was currently playing with the children in the harem.

At this time, Xiao Heyue was already able to crawl and was playing with Zhao Fujin on the bed.

At this moment, a female official opened the door and said softly: "County Magistrate, Luo Dutong wants to see you, saying that Yan Yun urgently reports."

"Ok!"

Han Zhen's expression changed slightly, he stood up and walked to the study.

As soon as he came out of the backyard, he ran into Lao Jiu who was waiting for him.

Han Zhen asked: "What happened?"

Lao Jiu looked solemn and lowered his voice: "Three days ago, the Jin people cut off all contact with Zhao and Song Dynasty, completely cut off the trade routes, and sent troops to guard each entrance pass."

The golden man is about to take action!

The moment he heard the news, this thought flashed through Han Zhen's mind.

Although the situation between Song and Jin Dynasties was tense before, there were still businessmen taking risks to do business with each other.

At this time, all contact was suddenly cut off. Apart from preventing Zhao Song from discovering the mobilization of troops, horses, food and grass, Han Zhen could not think of any other possibility.

Thinking of this, he ordered: "Go to the military camp!"

Not long after, Han Zhen led a group of personal guards and went straight to the military camp.

In the White Tiger Hall, a group of generals gathered in front of the sand table and were discussing.

Han Shizhong pondered: "Assembling soldiers, horses, food, grass and baggage can be as fast as half a month or as slow as a month. The general feels that the Jin people should launch a large-scale invasion of Zhao and Song Dynasty before the end of the month."

"It's a bit unexpected that the Jin candidates are taking action at this time. It's still early for the summer harvest. It seems that they are determined to defeat the enemy." Liu Qi touched his chin, his eyes flashing with excitement.

Huang Kai smiled and said: "Fortunately, we have been prepared. The grain and grass baggage has been transported to Jiaozhou Bay in advance. It only takes ten days to transport it to the Tangluo defense line by sea ship."

Han Zhen said loudly: "Nie Dong."

"The end is here!"

Nie Dong responded loudly.

Han Zhen ordered: "You are now ordered to be the commander of the army ahead, commanding Han Shizhong, Yu Jun, Huang Kai and other generals. You will have 30,000 infantry under your command. You will set off immediately and travel day and night to Linyi. Food and grass will be supplied by the counties along the way. , this is my handwritten edict, with which you can go to the local government office to collect grain."

Soldiers are valuable and quick, and as soon as the battle begins, these 30,000 former troops can march as quickly as possible to the Tangluo defense line.

Otherwise, if you wait until the golden man takes action before setting off, you may have already reached your doorstep.

He knew very well what kind of virtue the Song soldiers who had accumulated in the land of Yanyun had.

Facing the golden man who is like a wolf and a tiger, he will definitely collapse at the first touch.

"The last general takes orders!"

Nie Dong, Han Shizhong and others all raised their hands in response, then turned around and left the military tent.

Han Zhen said again: "Liu Qi!"

"The end is here!"

"The cavalry battalion has been reorganized in the past few days and is on standby at any time!"

"The last general takes orders!"

"Wei Da..."

As a series of appointments were issued, the entire military camp suddenly began to operate like a sophisticated machine.

……

……

Wow!

Under the gloomy sky, the waves washed over the rocks, causing countless splashes.

A huge ship broke through the waves and sailed through the vast ocean like it was cutting through thorns and thorns.

Three huge sails rustled in the sea breeze, and the sail ropes were stretched straight.

In the center of the bow deck stood a huge black cannon.

Surrounding the giant ship, there were also five smaller warships following, like personal guards, firmly protecting the giant ship in the middle.

Li Nanjia stood on the deck, wearing paper armor, with his exposed face and hands showing a healthy wheat color.

Being exposed to the wind and sun at the beach, it is inevitable to turn dark.

The weather in March has started to get warmer.

But the howling sea breeze mixed with water vapor still made people shiver.

After nearly seven months of hard work, Li Nanjia gradually adapted to life at sea. He stood with his feet on the deck and never moved an inch no matter how the giant ship bumped.

At this moment, the soldiers on the observation deck raised two flags, one black and one white, waving crosswise.

When the messenger saw it, he immediately reported: "Report to the brigade commander, enemy troops were found on the left."

Li Nanjia ordered in a cold voice: "Left full rudder, main gun ready!"

As soon as the order was given, the sailors on the deck immediately began to get busy.

As the giant ship turned left, a small boat with a red flag flying on the distant sea appeared in sight.

There are four gunners in charge of controlling the siege cannon, one of whom is the team leader, who is responsible for observing the distance and angle: "Seven hundred and twenty steps apart, one foot and six inches at a square angle!"

Hearing this, the other gunner immediately began to adjust the direction and angle of the cannon.

After adjusting the angle, the two artillerymen standing on both sides of the barrel immediately began loading gunpowder and ammunition.

The whole set of movements was fast and steady, and it had obviously been practiced countless times.

"The ammunition is loaded and adjusted!"

"Fire!"

laugh!

As the fuse was ignited, the fire flickered in everyone's eyes.

When it burned to the end, a deafening bang echoed over the sea.

boom!

Thick smoke spewed from the muzzle.

But soon, it was blown away by the sea breeze.

The iron cannonballs shot out and hit the boat accurately.

Wherever the wooden ship could block the power of the siege cannon, it was instantly penetrated.

One shot accurately hit the target, and the gunner who was responsible for observing and commanding just now smiled proudly: "How was it?"

This person turned out to be Ni Mu, the seventh head of Heishan Village.

Since being exposed to artillery, Ni Mu has shown amazing talent. He seems to have an innate intuition about distance, angle and the trajectory of artillery.

After experiencing countless live-fire drills, Ni Mu made rapid progress and could hit almost anywhere within 800 steps.

The hit rate is as high as 70%!

In comparison, Sun Zhi and others do not have that talent.

"Well done!"

Sun Zhi on the side clapped his hands and applauded.

Seeing this, a trace of satisfaction flashed across Li Nanjia's narrow eyes.

Today's sea trial and training were almost over. Seeing that the wind and waves were getting bigger and bigger, she ordered: "Go back!"

In more than three months, the navy soldiers began to gradually adapt to the Shenzhou battleship, and now the only difference is actual combat. After the Shenzhou giant ship sailed into Jiaozhou Port, it went straight to the dock.

After docking at the specified location, the dock gate slowly closed and the waterwheel began to discharge water outwards.

As the water level continued to fall, the giant ship gradually landed on the underwater platform. A group of craftsmen came to the platform along the stairs and began intensive repairs to check for risks.

A group of navy soldiers disembarked from the ship, and Li Nanjia led his soldiers back to the military camp.

After going to the munitions office and handing over the remaining gunpowder and cannonballs, she mounted her horse and rushed to the town. Apart from the war and daily drills, she did not have to live in the military camp the rest of the time.

As the only woman in the navy, Han Zhen finally gave her some preferential treatment.

After all, they donated so much money and almost paid for the establishment of the entire navy, so some preferential treatment was normal.

The town near the sea was completed in January this year. It took five months and more than 50,000 civilian craftsmen were recruited.

On the day of its completion, Han Zhen, who was far away in Yidu, personally named the town Qingdao.

Although it is said to be a town, it is actually a bit more prosperous than Jimo.

Teahouses, restaurants, brothels, gambling houses, tile market gouran, everything is available.

Riding a war horse and strolling on the street, Li Nanjia chose an elegantly decorated foot shop after some selection.

There is almost no difference between a foot shop and a restaurant except that they do not have the right to brew wine.

Walking into the store, Li Nanjia chose a secluded seat and sat down. The waiter came forward with a menu and asked diligently: "What does this young lady want?"

There was no menu in the Northern Song Dynasty. When diners entered the store, they would usually ask what dishes were available in the store.

But since Dazhuolou launched its menu, major restaurants in Shandong have rushed to imitate it, and even Tokyo City has become popular.

Taking the menu, Li Nanjia glanced at it and ordered: "One pound of soy sauce beef, fried kingfish (large yellow croaker), stir-fried winter bamboo shoots, and a pot of rice wine."

"Okay, just wait a moment."

The waiter yelled and went to notify the chef.

Not long after, the waiter brought a small stove and placed a small pot containing rice wine on the stove.

When the rice wine was hotter, Li Nanjia poured himself a glass.

After drinking a glass of rice wine, she couldn't help but let out a breath of cold air and felt warm in her stomach.

Perhaps there were not many customers in the store and the kitchen was not busy, so the waiter quickly brought the dishes to the table.

The steaming dishes are exuding bursts of aroma, making people want to eat.

Li Nanjia picked up the chopsticks, drank the rice wine, and tasted the dishes.

Li Nanjia is very satisfied with his current life.

Every day is fulfilling and exciting. After all, once you go to sea, life or death is no longer in your hands.

life and prosperity are ruled by fate.

Days like this were exactly what she wanted.

Warriors have a huge appetite, and Li Nanjia is no exception even if she is a woman.

Just three dishes and three bowls of rice in a row.

After drinking and eating, she rode her horse back home looking slightly tipsy.

This is a small house with two entrances. It is not large in area, but it is quiet and quiet.

There is only one maid in the family, and she is also mute.

Seeing Li Nanjia come back, the little maid immediately came forward and started talking and gesturing to Aba Aba.

Li Nanjia said softly: "I have eaten, don't worry about me."

After washing up and lighting the stove, Li Nanjia sat at the desk and wrote down the details of today's training, thinking about the shortcomings.

Unknowingly, the sound of clappers sounded at midnight.

Li Nanjia put down his pen, blew out the candles, and lay down on the bed.

Covered by a thick quilt, she opened her eyes wide and stared blankly at the dark tent ceiling.

Only at this time every day would she feel a little lonely.

A heroic and domineering figure appeared in his mind.

In fact, all things considered, the number of times she met Han Zhen was only a handful, and they were extremely brief.

But every time, it left a deep impression on her.

Unconsciously, Li Nanjia fell into sleep.

"Bang bang bang!"

I don’t know how long it took, but there was a rapid knock on the door.

Li Nanjia suddenly woke up. While sitting up, he picked up the sword that was leaning on the bed with his right hand. The whole movement was smooth and smooth.

"Who?"

Li Nanjia asked sharply.

"Aba Aba..."

Hearing the voice of the mute maid, Li Nanjia's vigilance dissipated a little, and she stood up and opened the door.

The little maid kept talking and gesticulating, pointing her fingers to the front yard.

"I know."

Li Nanjia nodded, turned around, put on his clothes, and walked all the way to the front yard with his sword.

Sun Zhi was seen standing in front of the gate wearing paper armor and fully armed.

Seeing this, Li Nanjia asked: "What's the matter?"

Sun Zhi did not waste any nonsense and reported directly: "Commander Kuang has received urgent military information and asked the general to go to the White Tiger Hall of the military camp immediately to discuss matters."

"go!"

Li Nanjia's heart trembled, and he mounted his horse and ran towards the military camp with Sun Zhi.

After running all the way to the military camp, Li Nanjia quickly walked into the White Tiger Hall.

At this time, Kuang Zixin and Lu Shi joined the army were both present in Baihu Hall.

Li Nanjia asked straight to the point: "What happened?"

Kuang Zixin said with a solemn expression: "I just received a secret order from the county magistrate, asking me to be on standby at any time. Once I receive the military order, I must transport the grain and grass baggage to Nigu Haikou, Cangzhou within ten days."

"So urgent?"

Li Nanjia frowned slightly.

According to the plan, next month they will clear out pirates in the surrounding waters to provide protection for shipping.

Kuang Zixin speculated: "There should be something strange happening on the Jin people's side."

Li Nanjia said sternly: "There is no need to delay, act as soon as possible, don't delay the fighter opportunity."

"Ok!"

Kuang Zixin nodded.

After a while, the naval camp became noisy.
