Chapter 179
"Good! Both of you are excellent. The others should learn from the two of them, step up their practice, and try to get a real gun as soon as possible." The instructor encouraged the others.

"Disband now, let's eat! The cultural class in the evening will continue as usual."

what! !

Many people lamented that it is indeed too difficult to learn literacy and arithmetic at this age.

……

August [-], noon, Qiantang River.

Zhou Xinyuan, Zhao Liang and Wanyan Zongjun stood on the bow of the Dengzhou.

"Although I admire you very much, due to the development needs of our Xinghan Alliance, I still have to hand you over to the Zhao Kingdom. Your fate will depend on it later." Zhou Xinyuan said to Wanyan Zongjun.

Wanyan Zongjun remained silent, just looking at the prosperity on both sides of the Qiantang River.

"Why, you two still have feelings for each other along the way?" Zhao Liang teased from the side.

The route from Dengzhou to Hangzhou is already familiar. This time the first fleet worked day and night. In addition, the voyage went smoothly and there was no delay on the way. It took eighteen days to reach Hangzhou.

"During this period, I have had many conversations with Brother Wanyan. Brother Wanyan is still very knowledgeable and talented." Zhou Xinyuan replied.

"If the leader of the alliance hears what you said, he will probably destroy the army out of righteousness," Zhao Liang said.

"Leader Liu is indeed very prejudiced against our Jin country." Wanyan Zongjun interjected.

"If your father, your relatives, and the village where you grew up were massacred by the Jin soldiers, I think you would hate the Jin country to the core." Zhao Liang sarcastically said to Wanyan Zongjun.

"Hey." Zhou Xinyuan sighed.

Zhou Xinyuan later moved into Liujiabao, and the slaughter did not harm his family, so he could calm down and chat with Wanyan Zongjun.

Wanyan Zongjun was the sixth son of the former emperor of the Jin Kingdom. Naturally, he had been trained by a high school teacher since he was a child. He had extraordinary conversation and broad knowledge. It was not surprising that he could win Zhou Xinyuan's recognition.

"Mr. Zhou, the leader trusts you and entrusts you with the diplomatic work of the Xinghan League. I hope you can put aside your personal subjectivity, truly and wholeheartedly consider the rights and interests of the Xinghan League, and don't let down the leader's trust. "Zhao Liang reminded Zhou Xinyuan when he saw him sighing.

"Of course I understand." Zhou Xinyuan replied.

Zhou Xinyuan, as one of the most prolific literati in the Xinghan League, was more suitable for dealing with the literati-run Zhao State. Therefore, Liu Xinqi had always arranged for Zhou Xinyuan to be responsible for the diplomacy between Dengzhou and the Zhao State in the south. However, until now, there has been no substantive interaction with the Zhao State. sexual contact.

However, because Zhou Xinyuan is a scholar, he will always be a little bookish, which makes Zhao Liang not very confident in his ability to fulfill Liu Xinqi's instructions.

While the three of them were chatting, the fleet approached Jiubao Town.

"If I'm not mistaken, that's Liu Xinkuan." Zhou Xinyuan pointed at a figure at the port of Jiubao Town and said to Zhao Liang.

Zhao Liang looked in the direction Zhou Xinyuan pointed, and really saw Liu Xinkuan in the crowd. Liu Xinkuan was also looking towards the fleet, and then waved. "I'll direct the fleet to move over. I won't lock you up now, but don't even think about running away. You know you can't run away." Zhao Liang said to Wanyan Zongjun.It means that Yan Zongjun's ability has been exhausted and he cannot escape the pursuit of the soldiers.

Wanyan Zongjun waved his hand to indicate that he would not run away.

Under the command of Zhao Liang, the fleet docked at the dock of Jiubao Town port one after another.

After Zhao Liang got off the boat, he hugged Liu Xinkuan and patted his bulging belly:
"Long time no see, you're strong again."

"The life here is too moist. If you want, I'd like to change it with you and go to sea to suffer." Liu Xinkuan joked.

"You have a beautiful idea." Zhao Liang patted Liu Xinkuan on the shoulder: "Why are you here? You don't stay at the dock waiting for us every day, do you? How about learning the 'Wangfu Stone'?"

"If you can send me a beautiful woman, I wouldn't mind making a 'Wife-Wang Stone'" Liu Xinkuan didn't give up, but still said the real reason: "The intelligence network here is developing well, you go By the time I left the seaport, I had already received the news and estimated that you would arrive today, so I came to the port in advance to greet you."

"Good job." Zhao Liang praised.

Liu Xinkuan had already taken care of the berthing at the Jiubao Town port in advance, so after docking, Zhao Liang began to arrange for the people on the ship to take turns to relieve the fatigue of wandering at sea for half a month.

Everything was arranged and it was already You hour. After dinner, Zhao Liang, Zhou Xinyuan and Liu Xinkuan sat together to talk.

Liu Xinkuan first introduced the current situation of the Southern Zhao court to the two.

When Jingkang Emperor Song Gou fled to Yangzhou, he appointed Zongze to guard Kaifeng, Tokyo, and let Tokyo stay behind.

Zongze was appointed in the face of danger. After taking office, he actively repaired the city walls, rectified weapons, recruited volunteers, and collected food and wages.He recruited Wang Shan, Yang Jin and other rebels to assist in the defense, and contacted Lianghe "Eight Character Army" and other departments to coordinate the fight against the Jin. He also appointed Yue Fei and others as generals, and repeatedly defeated the Jin soldiers.

Because Zongze turned the tide and blocked the Jin soldiers' offensive, Emperor Jingkang lived a peaceful life in Yangzhou for half a year.

However, the latest news is that Zongze died of illness in Kaifeng on July [-]th.

"I heard that before Mr. Zong died of illness, when he was on his deathbed, he didn't say a word about family matters. In his words, he was always thinking about the Northern Expedition. He shouted three times in a row, "Cross the river!"Cross the river!Cross the river! "Later he said a long farewell." Liu Xinkuan's words were full of admiration.

"Who will replace Zongze?" Zhou Xinyuan asked.

"Du Chong is from Anyang, Henan." Liu Xinkuan replied: "Today's officials are really stupid. I asked about this man's past. He loves fame, is cruel by nature and likes to kill people. He lacks strategy in doing things and is an incompetent villain."

"Maybe there are rumors." Zhou Xinyuan said.

"It can't be a rumor. Last year when Du served as the magistrate of Cangzhou, the Jin people invaded the south. Many people came from Yandi to live in Cangzhou. Du Chong was worried that they were the internal support of the Jin people, so he killed all men, women, and children. On the eve of the second attack on Kaifeng, Du Chong guarded the Daming Mansion in Beijing, boasting that "a handsome minister should not sit on a plan, and should take it as a matter of risk." It seems that Han Xin was reborn. When the Jin Guodong Army came, Du Chong did not dare to confront them. The only countermeasure was to order the levee of the Yellow River to be broken, so that the water of the Yellow River would flow into the Huaihe River from Surabaya, in an attempt to stop the pursuers. In the end, Du Chong did not stop Jin Guodong. The Route Army also caused more than 20 local people to be drowned, and the death caused by displacement and plague was several times higher than this. Nearly ten million people were homeless and became refugees. Among the refugees we received in Liujiabao before A large part of it was caused by Du Chong's "digging rivers to block troops"."

"That may be because today's officials are deceived by treacherous ministers." Zhou Xinyuan still felt lucky.
