A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

The warship went slowly, and someone exclaimed: "Where is the money?"

Everyone was staring at the deck, thinking about the grand occasion when the navy entered Bianliang last time.

That’s really all money!

The open boxes on the deck were full of gold and silver jewelry, sparkling in the sun.

But now?

Apart from the people, there was nothing else on the deck.

"Is this time in vain?"

"I'm afraid it's true."

"Hey! What a pity!"

"It's not in vain." A man who probably knew something about the situation said, "Jiaozhi is poor, and it was luck to get the money last time. It's the same! It's not surprising that they returned empty-handed this time. As for the navy, Going south is to suppress Jiaozhi and bring peace to the southwest. For this alone, the navy deserves credit."

Everyone nodded, and the man said with a serious face: "Just think about it, there were frequent warnings in the southwest in the past. Ever since the navy went south, has there been any bad news in the southwest? What is this? What a great achievement!"

"yes!"

"Not to mention the Jiaozhi people, Nong Zhigao made the Song Dynasty very worried..."

"So if the navy fails, Bianliang's imperial army will have to go south to frighten the Cochin people."

"..."

These remarks soon spread everywhere, and the common people felt that they were very reasonable. Some people asked: "Looking at this man's majestic appearance, he must be a talented person. Dare I ask his name..." …”

The man said humbly: "A certain Cao Yi is not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning."

"Let's go!" He casually cupped his hands and quickly disappeared into the crowd.

"Cao Yi?"

"It's a good name, but why is it a little familiar?"

"I don't think you've heard of it?"

"Cao Yi...Uncle Cao Guo?"

"Uncle Cao Guo is not young anymore. The man just now...that man looks to be in his twenties. How could he be Uncle Cao Guo?"

"Maybe they have the same name!"

"Too."

…

On the way back, Zhao Shu was smiling, but he was a little anxious due to the sun.

"Your Majesty, someone just spoke for the navy. He said that without the navy, the southwest would be in chaos."

Zhang Baibian is like a diligent worker bee, not only responsible for security, but also responsible for delivering news.

"Who said that?" Zhao Shu frowned and said, "If these words are spread, the Forbidden Army will be uneasy..."

The Imperial Guards are not restless, but jumpy.

Chen Hong beside him was already angry, "Officials, these talkers think they have ulterior motives and are trying to suppress the Forbidden Army... There were changes in the southwest back then, and it was our Forbidden Army who attacked, which brought peace to the southwest. Now it turns out that Someone denies the merits of the Imperial Guard, officials, please investigate this person and punish him severely!"

Madan!

With just a few words, you gave the naval forces the credit for pacifying the Southwest, but where is my Imperial Army?

Who has seen the sacrifices made by my Imperial Guard?

Shameless!

Zhao Shu also felt that these words were suggestive of provocation, so he nodded, and Zhang Baannian immediately disappeared behind him.

"The Forbidden Army fought several times in the southwest, frightening the thieves and making the Cochin people afraid to peep north. I remember these achievements."

Bianliang is protected by the Forbidden Army, and the country of the Song Dynasty is also protected by the Forbidden Army. If we don't appease the Forbidden Army, what will happen if there is a mutiny one day?

You must know that the reason for the old Zhao family's yellow robe to the outside world was a mutiny in the army. Everyone took Zhao Kuangyin all the way to Beijing, and then they had to make him emperor.

It sounds strange, but these days you have to have a name.

That's what it means to be justified.

You have to say that Zhao Kuangyin has long wanted to overthrow my rule in the Zhou Dynasty, and wanted to clean up the orphan and widowed mother... That is a scandal, a scandal that even the emperor cannot clean up.

Chen Hong's face looked better, but he was still a little aggrieved.

Think about it, he is the representative of the Forbidden Army, but in front of him, someone is belittling the Forbidden Army. This is a slap in the face!

Later, Zhang Baibian came back again, looking still cold.

"who?"

When the emperor travels, almost all the people from the Imperial City Department are dispatched, so Zhao Shu is very confident that he can find out the news.

Zhang Ba8 said: "The man said it was... Cao Yi."

puff!

Zeng Gongliang beside him was quietly drinking the contents of the small porcelain bottle he had brought, and when he heard the words, he spit out the contents.

Han Qi in front reached out and touched the back of his head, turned back expressionlessly, then looked at the soup in his hand, and sniffed again, "Beef stewed with radish, and Shen's spicy sauce..."

Zeng Gongliang handed it over, "Take a sip?"

Han Qi's eyes widened, and then he took the porcelain bottle. Zhao Shu on the left said: "Isn't Cao Yi in Wan Shengjun? Why did he come here? Go and check!"

He is really angry!

Cao Ji was about to join the Wansheng Army. He dared to go out for a walk before he had a firm foothold. What kind of spirit was this?

This is an irresponsible spirit!

I won't even give the Queen Mother the face to look back, so I must deal with him.

Seeing that Zhang hadn't moved for eight years, he said coldly: "What's wrong, can't I use you anymore?"

Zhang Baba lowered his head, "The official...someone saw that person...looking like Shen An."

puff!

Han Qi, who was drinking beef soup, sprayed Zeng Gongliang in the face, then coughed dryly and said: "Shen An? It is indeed him!"

Zhao Shu covered his forehead and sighed.

Ouyang Xiu turned away, feeling really embarrassed.

Only Bao Zheng looked ahead coldly, clenching his fists.

In order to support the navy, this man actually went into battle shirtless and personally spoke good words for the navy.

Just say what you say. As a subject, you have the right to express your opinion.

But you actually changed your name to Cao Yi.

Uncle Guo, why have you tricked me?

Someone muttered: "Guan family, who was that last time... Cao Xueqin?"

Last time Shen An changed his name to Cao Xueqin outside Yanmen Pass, and almost burned Yelu Hongji to death in a fire.

Your Majesty, this man has a history of shamelessness!

Tsk!

Zhao Shu had a headache.

After returning to the palace all the way, Zhao Shu's anger calmed down a little.

"How was the trip?"

There are a lot of things to say out there that are inconvenient to say, and now is the time to report.

Qin Zhen explained the situation of this trip in detail.

"The fleet should have returned a long time ago, but we encountered strong winds when approaching Qiongzhou, so we had to find a place to hide. After the storm subsided, many people in the fleet fell ill..."

"Is it an epidemic?" Han Qi discovered the problem keenly.

Zhao Shu's heart tightened, and he was also worried that it was an epidemic.

In this era of limited prevention methods, epidemics are a hellish existence.

"It's not an epidemic." Qin Zhen said: "People often got sick before, and they just needed to eat more vegetables. This time the fleet also brought many wooden barrels to grow vegetables, but the vegetables were not well kept... In the end, there was a shortage of vegetables. .It wasn’t until someone found wild vegetables that things got better..."

"Will you get sick if you don't have vegetables?"

Zhao Shu asked: "Why is this?"

Qin Zhen shook his head, "I don't know, but this is a saying that has been passed down for many years. Some people don't believe it. They didn't bring wooden barrels to grow vegetables on the voyage, and only three people were left when they came back."

Tsk!

This is the wisdom of our ancestors!

"Mangshan Academy seems to have done some research on this. Ask Shen An later." When Zhao Shu went to Mangshan Academy last time, he heard Shen An and a professor talking about symptoms, which seemed to be caused by not eating vegetables when going to sea.

"That's a great joy!"

Qin Zhen said excitedly: "Every time I go to sea, I have to carry many wooden barrels to grow vegetables, which takes up too much space. If Duke Shen has a way, I will treat him to a drink when I get back."

"You should return from a long voyage." Zhao Shu was very tolerant at this time. When the soldiers returned from hard work, it was natural for them to relax. As long as it was not excessive, he would not interfere.

He looked at Chang Jianren who was silent and asked with interest: "My painter, now a powerful general, what have you gained from this trip?"

Han Qi glanced at Qin Zhen and nodded slightly when he saw his calm expression.

Judging from Zhao Shu's attitude towards Chang Jianren, he will probably be in charge of the navy in the future, while Qin Zhen can only serve elsewhere.

Qin Zhen can accept this matter calmly because he has a broad mind.

Thinking of being broad-minded, he couldn't help but think of Shen An.

That shameless guy!

"Your Majesty, during my trip to Jiaozhi, I feel that they are more afraid of our navy than last time."

Chang Jianren can now stand here calmly and does not feel nervous when speaking. It can be seen that this person has no distinction between high and low, he is just adapting to the environment.

"I remember the first time the navy landed in Cochin. The people of Cochin were very aggressive at that time. But this time the navy came to Cochin again, the enemy was cautious at all times. This gave our army every opportunity to defeat them."

Chang Jianren stretched out his hand and said habitually: "Where is the map?"

Well, he discovered the problem just after asking.

This is not a ship!

"Your Majesty Meng Lang."

Zhao Shu admired such a temperamental minister and said, "Here comes the map."

His map is larger and more comprehensive. The two chamberlains held up maps, and Chang Jianren pointed out the route of the battle.

"Our army finally attacked Thang Long City at night. First, they used gunpowder to blow down a section of the city wall. Then I led my army to charge forward and kill the enemy."

"Thanglong City is in chaos, but it's a pity that our army is too small, otherwise we would have defeated it in a single battle..."

Chang Jianren is really sorry.

But after listening to his introduction, the emperor and his ministers were all sighing.

"It's so fierce, no wonder Jiaozhi is scared."

Han Qi said emotionally: "The Song Dynasty is different now because of these brave soldiers."

Chang Jianren lowered his head and said, "Soldiers are not afraid of death, they only seek fairness."

This is an old saying again, calling for the improvement of the status of warriors.

Zhao Shu nodded, "I understand."

He looked at Chang Jianren and said with great satisfaction: "You're lucky enough to be in the navy, do it slowly."

This is the expectation.

Qin Zhen glanced at Chang Jianren with envy. He did not have such a holy family, let alone a backer like Shen An. But he has been in the navy for too long, and he is somewhat suspected of being too weak to lose. Besides, there are no positions in the navy for him to be promoted, so it is time to leave!

"Qin Zhen..."

Zhao Shu looked at him and Qin Zhen lowered his head.

"You are very good."

This is a compliment.

Also a hint.

You can safely lead the navy, and you will not end up in trouble if you turn back.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Qin Zhen knelt down, and Zhao Shu smiled and said: "They are all strong generals! I remember when I mentioned military generals before, everyone in the court said that there are no strong generals, no strong generals. Why are there so many strong generals now? Who can tell me? ?”

Han Qi and others were silent. UU reading www.uukanshu． net

No matter what their stance is, they will not beat drums and cheer for warriors.

Zhao Shu knew this, so he looked at Chang Jianren.

This person is very straightforward and should not lie.

"Your Majesty, I think I value you."

After all, Chang Jianren was a scholar, and he was very analytical and methodical. "A soldier will die for a confidant. Officials value officers and soldiers, so officers and soldiers will naturally repay each other."

Zhao Shu nodded and said happily: "So I look forward to having more brave generals in the army. Do you have anything to say?"

Qin Zhen raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, the navy captured a lot during this trip...it's very valuable."

The sailors have also learned bad things!

When we go on an expedition, we don't talk about promoting the prestige of the Song Dynasty. Instead, we talk about money first.

But it’s good to talk about money!

Didn't you see the way Han Jiang, the third commander, moved forward? This man clearly wanted to go to Qin Zhen's side and ask questions.

"How much is it worth?" Han Jiang finally couldn't help it.

At this moment, he thought of the warship that Shen An first beheaded and then played with, and couldn't help but feel like a knife was in his heart.

Sansi doesn’t have much money!

One more payment and I will lose some hair. If I pay a few more times, I will be bald.

"After calculation, it's more than two million yuan..."

…

A leader came to the alliance several years ago. Sir, he was very happy and thanked the rich man.
