Fisherman's Song Dynasty

Everyone in Yingtian Mansion Yamen knew Xu Zizhen, and they all knew that he was No. 1 in front of King Kang. When he came to the door, he was ushered in without notification.

Zhao Gou was reviewing the documents in the study room. The yamen has rules for accepting cases. Today is a free time, which just gave Xu Zizhen a chance to have a good chat with Zhao Gou.

"Zizhen, why are you here? Just right, I have something to see you too." Zhao Gou stood up when he saw him coming in.

Just as Xu Zizhen was about to take Lin Chaoying in, he found something wrong with Zhao Gou's expression, as if he was a little angry, a little sad, and a little unwilling. Enter the house and close the door.

"Master Qi, what's the matter?"

Zhao Gou was silent for a moment, then said, "It's true that the fifth child has gone."

"Five?" Xu Zizhen was stunned for a moment before he realized that what Zhao Gou was talking about was King Jing Zhao Qi. He sneered and said, "If you don't want to be a grandson, it's really cheap."

He didn't have anything to explain, but everyone knew Zhao Qi's intentions. The Jin soldiers were approaching Bianjing fiercely, and they might break through the city at any time. Zhao Qi's going now was nothing more than negotiating peace with Wushu. His peace talks are different from Zhao Huan's peace talks. He must be willing to lower his status to seek the protection of the Jin people. He doesn't care how much land there is, at least his life can be saved and his wish can be fulfilled.

Zhao Gou naturally understood Zhao Qi's thoughts, so he hated that he was also a descendant of the Zhao family, but he had no blood and backbone, which made him even shamed by the surname Zhao.

"Zizhen, what I want to tell you is another matter." Zhao Gou calmed down and changed the subject, and asked, "The little princess of Tubo and the envoys of Xixia, Xiliao and Dali have all gone to Bianjing to face Sheng Is it?"

Xu Zizhen smiled, it's not surprising that Zhao Gou knew this so quickly, but obviously he didn't know the real intention here, he didn't want to explain for now, so he just responded.

Zhao Gou suddenly said with excitement in his eyes: "Then you also hurry to Beijing to meet the saint. Now that the fifth child is going to meet the Jinren to discuss, if the negotiation can be made, then Liang Shicheng's role in Wulibu's eyes will be reduced. Good time for an old thief."

Of course Xu Zizhen has this plan, Zhao Gou didn't say that he had already traveled to Bianjing, the old eunuch hid behind his back and ordered others to shoot cold arrows at him, and he didn't know how many patriots and loyal ministers and good generals he had killed over the years, so don't kill him Simply not enough for civilian outrage.

He nodded, also changed the subject, and suddenly asked: "Qi Ye, you are now the Generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses. Does that mean that all the officers and soldiers of the Song Dynasty are dispatched by you?"

Zhao Gou was taken aback by his leaping thinking: "This...of course."

"That's good." Xu Zizhen slapped his hands, "In this case, I want to ask you something, are there any places in the prefectures near the mouth of the Yangtze River that you can hold? I mean the guards there Is it your confidant who absolutely obeys your command?"

Zhao Gou frowned, and pondered: "Near the mouth of the sea... I have only been appointed as the Generalissimo for a few days, and you know that, where do I have a confidant? However, it is not a big problem to arrange a guard, but it is not a big problem. It's the capitals of all walks of life, Zizhen, what do you mean by asking this?"

Xu Zizhen cheered up: "It doesn't matter if it's not a mansion, where can I arrange it?"

Zhao Gou thought for a while and said, "Recently, the general of Yangzhou was dismissed for corruption and fraud. His Majesty believes in me now. It shouldn't be a problem to arrange someone to replace him."

Xu Zizhen was overjoyed. He had long heard that the fireworks would go down to Yangzhou in March, and he would go down to Yangzhou on a crane with [-] guan in his waist. This is a good place, and Yangzhou is beside the Yangtze River. It is Zhao Gou's confidant, and his plan will have a sufficient security guarantee in the future.

"Okay, okay, Seventh Master, hurry up and find someone you trust to guard there. I will be of great use in the future."

Zhao Gou's eyes lit up. He didn't know when he became very sensitive to Xu Zizhen's words about the future, but Xu Zizhen didn't speak clearly every time, and it was inconvenient for him to ask more questions. He only knew that no matter what Xu Zizhen did, as long as he It is always in his favor to involve these two words.

He is a smart man, he thought about it as soon as he turned his head, and said with a smile: "I don't ask what you are good for, but I don't bother the two masters with one thing, since you are useful, then you can recommend the general of Yangzhou. "

"I recommend?" Xu Zizhen was taken aback, Zhao Gou's trust in him was getting higher and higher, how important a state's general is, he actually left it to himself to decide, but he hesitated while being grateful, he didn't care at all. How many generals do you know, who the fuck should you recommend?Han Shizhong?I still count on him to lead the Northern Expedition in the future, but throwing Yangzhou so far is not enough; Wu Jie?This is a good general with both wisdom and courage, but according to legend, he is guarding Sichuan. If he changes places, will the historical trajectory be changed?This is not a risk.

Suddenly a person appeared in his mind, and he suddenly had a calculation.

"Okay, I recommend a person, the former Lanzhou defender Meng Du, this person is not a fierce general, but he is very calm and suitable."

Zhao Gou agreed: "Okay, I will write a letter and report it to the Privy Council to call him to take up his post."

He didn't know Meng Du, but he heard from Wen Chengyan that when they were in Lanzhou, Wen and Meng cooperated with each other tacitly, and they guarded Lanzhou, which was short of major generals, for so long. They were considered rare talents, let alone now It was Xu Zizhen who spoke again, so naturally there was no reason not to agree.

"Zizhen, do you... plan to do something in Yangzhou?" Zhao Gou asked after hesitating.

The corner of Xu Zizhen's mouth raised, and he said with a light smile: "Qi Ye, you are so smart, can you guess it?"

Zhao Gou was taken aback, rubbing his chin and recalling what Xu Zizhen said just now.

The Yangtze River, the estuary, the guard, the confidant...

Suddenly his eyes lit up, and he blurted out: "Shuijun?"

Xu Zizhen laughed heartily, clapped his hands and praised: "Seventh Master is indeed the Seventh Master. You can guess it right away, but it's a little bit off, because what I want is not a navy, but... a navy."

"Navy? You...you!" Zhao Gou was dumbfounded, unable to speak for a long time. Xu Zizhen's desire to build a naval army is still reasonable. In the future, the Jin people may continue to go south like a broken bamboo. The navy will always be useful, but what is the navy? use?Is it impossible to attack their hometown from behind the anti-gold counterfeiters by sea?

Xu Zizhen knew what Zhao Gou was thinking without even guessing, and said with a smile: "Don't doubt, I have a way to make the ship sail to Bohai Bay, but you should keep this in your stomach first, and don't tell anyone. I will give you a surprise, don’t you believe me? We will find out in the future.”

Of course Zhao Gou would not suspect that Xu Zizhen had never let him down, and of course he would never tell anyone. At this moment, he was so excited that he couldn't tell. He wished that time would pass faster so that he could see Xu Zizhen. What is this surprise in question.

Xu Zizhen looked at Zhao Gou's bright eyes, and secretly smiled in his heart. The steam engine has been successfully tested. At that time, the first steam ship in this changed history will appear. I'm afraid it will not only surprise Zhao Gou, but also give Jin Ren a surprise. surprise.
