Chapter 53 Information
In Lin'an City, the former Prince Consort Yang Zhen's residence has been removed from the title of Prince Consort, and only has the surname.

In the study, Yang Zhen's nephew Yang Jiejie looked at the person opposite and felt regretful.

I was angry because I had been blackmailed out of 120 yuan during the day. When I heard that a distant relative from Wenzhou had come to seek refuge, I immediately agreed.

Are there any distant relatives?But the remaining Song Dynasty is just a detailed work.

Sure enough, the person opposite said: "The villain Hu Feng, the secret agent of the Imperial City Department..."

"Come here!" Yang Jiejie shouted.

Hu Feng was shocked and immediately climbed out of the window and left.

Yang Jiejie was afraid of death and did not dare to stop him.

"Master, what are your orders?" the servant came in and asked.

Yang Jiejie said: "The visitor who just came here claims to be a Wenzhou spy. Please report to the official immediately."

"Master!" the servant said: "The old master died to protect the Zhao family's bloodline. Who doesn't admire his loyalty? Now the master is sitting on countless wealth, which was left by the old master. It is actually the favor of the court.

Nowadays, when someone from the imperial court comes, it’s fine if the master doesn’t help him. How can he be reported to the officials for arrest? "

Yang Jiejie said: "Now the imperial court is ruled by the Great Khan. If he is exposed, he will die violently. The whole family will not be spared. The risk is too great."

The servant said: "Even so, it is expulsion, why bother?"

"I have tens of thousands of dollars but no one to protect me. How can I bear the risk? And if I catch him carefully and do a good job, if I can get ahead, I will be rich and have no worries!"

"But I didn't expect that I, Yang Liu, would follow such a master!" After the servant said this, he turned around and went out, immediately packed his luggage and ran away.

Yang Jiejie didn't care, and sent another servant to report to the official.

It is said that Hu Feng returned to his residence, which was a private house behind the Chenghuang Temple. After taking a short rest, he immediately wrote a secret letter and reported the matter to his superiors.

The spies Zhang Shuangguo sent to Lin'an were not one or two or in waves. Only he knew the specific number, and they had already had some effects.

When he received an urgent report from Lin'an, Zhang Shuangguo immediately went to Xingzai to see the emperor.

Zhao was listening to Hu Sansheng's lecture on Zizhi Tongjian. When he heard that Zhang Shuangguo asked for an audience, he immediately agreed.

"Your Majesty." Zhang Shuangguo handed over the information and said: "Lin'an information, Yuanlu has a fleet of ships heading north on the [-]th.

In addition to some money and food, they also transported royal robes, crowns, guibi, talismans, pictures and documents collected in the palace, books, treasures, chariots, chariot rides, ceremonial guards, flag guards, and things that the four ancestors of the Imperial Ancestral Temple enjoyed in the palace. , Ritual utensils, musical instruments, and heaven-sacrifice rites from Jingling Palace, books, sacrifices, musical instruments, etc. from the Secretariat, Imperial College, Academy of Chinese History, Academy of Sciences, and Taichang Temple. "

"Your Majesty," Hu Sansheng said: "These items are symbols of the dynasty's orthodoxy and must not fall into the hands of the Yuan captives.

Moreover, when His Majesty ascended the throne, he was unprepared for any of these items, which was detrimental to the emperor's majesty. The country is in a difficult situation and he should be frugal. However, if he has the opportunity to obtain it, he must cherish it. "

Zhao Shi nodded and agreed with Hu Sansheng's words and asked: "How many ships and troops are there? Who is leading the troops?"

"Ship 32, more than [-] soldiers, led by Zhu Qing and Zhang Xuan."

Zhu Qing was originally a slave of the wealthy Yang family in Taicang County. He killed his master and avoided the sea because of trivial matters. He first teamed up with Zhang Xuan to sell smuggled salt, and later became a pirate. Therefore, he was familiar with the gates of the North and South Hokkaido Islands. He was recruited by the Song Dynasty and demoted to Yuan Dynasty. They were both governors. Thousands of military households.

"During the great victory in Taizhou, I interrogated the captives and found out that the Yuan captives had done a lot of harm to the people by transporting supplies from the south of the Yangtze River to the north, so Dong Wen went south to take charge of the matter.

The minister speculates that the Yuan Dynasty tried to use the sea route to solve the problem, or that Jiangnan maritime merchants promoted it and wanted to use sea transportation instead of water transportation. "Zhang Shuangguo said.

Zhao Shi said: "Call Chen Yizhong, Li Tingzhi, Lu Xiufu and Jiang Dongting to discuss."

After a while, several people gathered together. Zhang Shuangguo recounted the information and his speculations again, while Hu Sansheng reiterated his views.

"What Hu Shi said is true. The symbol of orthodoxy cannot be leaked out. If there is nothing you can do, just take it back. If you have the opportunity, you should take it back." Chen Yizhong was the first to say.What should I do if I want to exterminate the clan?If you hide one or two things on the list, your family will be confiscated and your family will be destroyed!
This is the meaning of orthodox symbols.

Li Tingzhi said: "If it is captured, it can inspire people and promote the dignity of the imperial court. Even if it cannot, it should be sunk to prevent Yuanlu from using it to show off its power."

"If we suppress them, we can force the Yuan Dynasties to open the canal." Lu Xiufu reminded Zhao Shi not to forget the potential purpose of giving up Yangzhou, and added: "Furthermore, His Majesty had to cross the Qiantang River when leaving Lin'an. Instead of giving ships, the two thieves wanted to Detaining His Majesty is truly treasonous and unethical, and he should be killed."

If the reason is so good, then there must be a fight. In fact, even if there is no reason, as long as it is the Qianyuan Army, it must be done.

Zhao Shi looked at Jiang Dongting and asked, "Do you think it's possible to fight?"

Jiang Dongting said: "I wanted to send Li Xiangbei back to greet the people of Huaiyang. I have assembled [-] ships. We will attack with more and less with preparedness and attack with less preparedness. We will win!"

He is also a member of the Jiang Wanzai tribe. When Jiang Wanzai was fighting against the Yuan Dynasty in Fuzhou, he lived on the lake. Jiang Dongting was the actual commander of the navy.

This time, in order to prepare for the establishment of the navy, Jiang Wanzai sent him back to the center.

Since everyone was talking about fighting, Zhao did not hesitate and immediately made up his mind and asked: "The navy is still being prepared, who can be the chief general?"

Li Tingzhi said: "I am about to return north and ask myself to be a general."

"It was inappropriate to use the privy envoy as the general in the past, how can we use the prime minister as the general now?" Zhao Shi said: "Jiang Qing will consider the choice of general and report to the Privy Council. He should send out troops as soon as possible to wipe out all these useless soldiers."

"I obey the imperial edict," Jiang Dongting responded.

He is good at management, but only mediocre in naval warfare, and he does not understand naval warfare. He is not required to preside over the establishment of a navy, so naturally he cannot lead the troops himself.

After everyone's discussion, Jiang Dongting immediately went back to rectify the ships and troops, and at the same time summoned all the generals to discuss the matter.

Jiang Dongting talked about the mission and then said: "The Central Committee is in embarrassment about this matter. Your Majesty can only have two dishes for one meal. The Navy has spent a lot of money, and there is quite a lot of criticism in the court.

In this battle, there is no guarantee of victory but no defeat. Jue Youyou said, now, what is your plan? "

"If you are prepared and unprepared to attack, if you use more to attack less, and there are thunders from the sky, Yuanlu will be defeated." Commander Chen Shengxing said: "The only thing to worry about is how not to miss the Yuanlu fleet."

"This matter is simple. Surround the mouth of the Qiantang River and prohibit entry and exit." Another commander, Liu Yu, said.

These two people, one a Quanzhou maritime merchant and the other a Fuzhou maritime merchant, brought their own fleets to serve the imperial court, so they directly became commanders.

But they are all heroes who are accustomed to floating on the sea and will not make stupid mistakes.

At this time, Zhu Qing and Zhang Xuan stood together, toasting Liu Jun across from them. They drank a glass, but Liu Jun, who was only white, only took a sip, but they still smiled respectfully.

Liu Jun was the leader of Jiangnan East Road Maritime Merchant Guild. His third son was Boyan's personal guard, his seventh son was the Secretary of the Sovereign Army, his fifth son was Kublai Qongxue, his cousin Liu Jie was in charge of the navy and was in charge of ten thousand households, and other relatives and friends There are many high-ranking officials.

Just two Qianhu who were born pirates were not qualified to drink with Liu Jun.

"This time, several parties are working hard to get the court to agree to take the sea route. This is a rare opportunity, and you must seize it." Liu Jun said.

Zhang Qing said: "Sir, don't worry. Southern pirate ships are mostly used in the south, so going north will be absolutely foolproof."

"Okay." Liu Jun held the cup and said, "I'll take this cup to wish you two a successful career."

The two were overjoyed and immediately drank from the cup.

After sending Liu Jun away, Zhu Qing said with emotion: "Given time, he will be replaced."

"That's right, a man should be like that!" Zhang Xuan echoed.

One was born as a domestic slave, and the other was born in a salt household. With their fierceness, they had reached the position of Qianhu. They thought that their lives were worth their while. However, after learning about Liu Jun's power, the two couldn't help but have greater ambitions.
