A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

If the Song Dynasty wanted to build ships, the sails of the fleet could cover the sea...supply is not a problem, the Song Dynasty could set up points along the way, plant crops on the islands, and fish..."

"And once those points are established, merchant ships will have no trouble going to sea. They can get supplies along the way until the end of the world..."

"The end of the world?"

Zhao Shu, who was going out, stopped, turned around and asked, "How far is it?"

His eyes were sharp and there was no sign of indifference at this moment.

Shen An knew that he couldn't hesitate at this moment, so he blurted out: "It's far away, but the ship can reach it. There are many people in those places, and the cannibals are doing business back and forth in the middle. They are as rich as the enemy..."

Zhao Shu frowned and said, "Is it very powerful?"

This question was very imperial and very positive.

Shen An felt happy and said, "Those people are not powerful at the moment, but...very rich."

The West should be rich, right?

Shen An knew that the West was still in darkness at this moment, but its wealth was rich because of it.

"People in those places are very cheap. You can hire them for just a little money...for example, hire them to mine or farm...this way the people of the Song Dynasty can focus on sailing and...conquering."

They are very cheap, but it is impossible to hire them. In the end, they can only speak with swords and guns.

Zhao Shu glanced at him and said, "Conquest is your goal, right?"

I'm not a war maniac!

Shen An felt very wronged. At this time, a group of sergeants came from the front. After seeing Zhao Shu's honor guard, they hid on the side of the road. No one dared to raise their heads.

"Is it the Tiger Wing Navy?"

Before Zhao Shu came, he asked about the naval establishment of the Song Dynasty.

A commander came forward and said, "Yes, Commander Qin Zhen of the Tiger Wing Navy has met the king."

Zhao Shu glanced at this group of people and saw that they were not very tall, so he frowned and said, "Why are the soldiers so thin?"

Qin Zhen raised his head, looked at Shen An sharply, and said, "Your Majesty, most of the navy recruits are in the south. This can save you the trouble of studying water."

At this time, southerners were shorter and thinner than northerners.

"Is it troublesome to practice water?"

Naturally, Zhao Shu had no chance to learn swimming.

Qin Zhen frowned slightly and said, "Your Majesty, people in the north are naturally afraid of water..."

You can mow down a boatload of people with this bamboo pole!

Shen An coughed dryly and said: "Your Majesty, people in the south are accustomed to water because there are many puddles in the rivers, but there are fewer in the north. As for practicing water, you just need to practice hard."

He remembered that learning to swim was not that complicated. He spent a summer swimming alone in the river and almost drowned twice before finally learning to swim.

From doggy style to several positions that can be exchanged, it only takes half a year.

So he never thought that Northerners were not suitable to be sailors.

Zhao Shu nodded and said: "The warships are being built, and the navy must start training to protect the Song Dynasty's maritime borders as soon as possible."

Qin Zhen lowered his head slightly and said in a deep voice: "I came from the south this time just to practice the navy. If there is a chance to go to war, I hope that the Song Dynasty will never have an opponent for thousands of miles."

His gaze is so sharp that most people would probably avoid it, so they have to lower their heads. When he saw Shen An looking at him with a smile, he felt a little puzzled.

Who is this person? He was actually able to look into someone's eyes.

Zhao Shu was very satisfied with his gesture and said: "Jin Mingchi's building of warships this time is the first step. Later, the DPRK and China will build large ships to go to sea. You have to work hard."

Qin Zhen suddenly stood up straight, and the sergeants behind him all stamped their feet. The loud footsteps startled the guards and chamberlains, and someone subconsciously shouted: "Protect the king!"

Protect your sister!

"shut up!"

Shen An stopped the chaos before it even started. Everyone must have felt embarrassed, so they looked at Qin Zhen with a somewhat unkind look.

The group of sergeants stood up straight and rushed over with a surge of momentum, frightening the guards who had been in peace for a long time.

They are all a bunch of pigs!

Shen An thought about the rebellion in the palace back then, and how he was able to get in with just a few people. The guards in the palace were no different than pigs.

Zhao Shu nodded and said, "Not bad."

He was also startled, but remained calm out of habit.

"This is what is forbidden."

Shen An admired Qin Zhen quite a lot, so he said a kind word for him.

Zhao Shu glanced at the sergeants, and when he saw them holding their heads high, he praised: "I look forward to next year, and come back to see them then."

This expectation is very powerful, Qin Zhenlang said: "I will not let the king down."

Zhao Shu nodded and then walked out in groups.

Shen An was walking behind, and Qin Zhen suddenly raised his hands and said, "Dare you ask me your name?"

This man is very down-to-earth!

Shen An smiled and said: "A certain Shen An."

Qin Zhen's eyes became brighter, "But is that Shen Taizhao who destroyed Jiaozhi's elite?"

Shen An didn't expect that he had heard her name, so she nodded slightly and prepared to follow.

"I've seen the imperial edict."

Qin Zhen solemnly held up his hands and said: "When I was in the south, I heard that the Jiaozhi people often harassed the Song Dynasty. However, the navy was weak and could not give Jiaozhi a beating from the sea. Later, when I heard that the DPRK was sending troops south, I still thought there would be a stalemate, so I I thought about giving it to the Cochin people through the waterway...but I didn't expect..."

There was more fanaticism in his eyes, and Shen An felt that this person was worth winning over.

Whether from a financial or military perspective, it has become inevitable for the Song Dynasty to spread its influence overseas.

If a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools. Now that the warship is being built, what about the general?

One soldier is raging, and a den of generals is raging. Can the naval generals shoulder the heavy burden?

"...When I heard that there were 20,000 troops ambushed in Cochin, I wished I could go ashore with my sword in hand."

Qin Zhen said with admiration in his eyes: "The messenger said that Tai Zhao personally led the army into the battle, fought several stalemates, and defeated the Jiaozhi elite... In the end, they wiped them all out in one fell swoop... Dai Zhao, I admire you even more for building the Jingguan. Courage. After decades of peace in the Song Dynasty, the spirit of bloody courage has long since dissipated... When the good news came, the entire southwest cheered. Those people were willing to spend money to buy wine, which actually led to a shortage of drinks... Wait for the imperial edict, you went back at that time Good morning, I didn’t see the scene of the soldiers and civilians celebrating.”

Zhao Shu, who walked out of the door, stopped and turned around when he heard this. The servants looked at the excited Qin Zhen with some confusion, but the guards were thoughtful.

"It's just killing Cochin people. Is it worth his excitement?"

"Moreover, the Jingguan incident caused some controversy at the time, but it was suppressed by the officials and ministers. This shows that there is something wrong with this matter."

"Nonsense. When the imperial edict defeated the enemy in the southwest and wiped out the 20,000 elites of the Jiaozhi people in one battle, didn't you see that the Jiaozhi envoys were coming soon? When did the Jiaozhi people bow their heads to the Song Dynasty like this?"

"In that battle, that Jingguan was the weapon to deter Jiaozhi's ambitions!"

"Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand. That battle made the southwest of the Song Dynasty peaceful to this day. Jingguan deserves a lot of credit."

Although those guards have been in peace for a long time, they still worship powerful warriors.

Qin Zhen nodded sharply and said loudly: "I'm waiting for the imperial edict, please accept a certain ceremony!"

A group of soldiers bowed their heads silently.

There is no time for you to kneel or bow on the battlefield. The so-called warrior salute is just to nod.

The uniform movements proved that Qin Zhen's training was effective and rigorous.

The chilling atmosphere made the chamberlains feel a little strange.

"Why do you feel a little... moved?"

"Yes, my eyes are a little warm."

"Those people were so neat. There was no sound, but I felt that it was more shocking than any other sound."

"look!"

All the guards suddenly lowered their heads.

They heard about the Battle of Cochin in the palace. At that time, everyone felt that it was a hearty victory, and they were very happy and admired.

But after listening to Qin Zhen's words today, they realized the great impact this battle had on the people's morale in the southern part of the Song Dynasty.

That battle...

No wonder Shen An would personally lead the army into battle, no wonder Zeng Gongliang also went into battle with his sword...

Since Nong Zhigao's rebellion in the Southwest, the people's morale has been at a low ebb. The only way to boost this spirit is a big victory!

Shen An knew it, so he fought bravely.

Zeng Gongliang knew this, so he used himself as Prime Minister to kill the enemy.

No wonder!

The guards all lowered their heads to show respect. Zhao Shu saw this and sighed: "Is this the morale of the army?"

He came out to observe the sentiments of the people, it was just a show to let the clans see that his prince's status was unbreakable. But I didn't expect to see this scene.

He didn't know what military morale was like before, but now he had some insights.

He looked at Shen An approaching, smiled slightly, and said, "You are very good."

This was the first time he knew about Shen An's battle, and he was a little moved.

The two of them went out together, and Zhao Shu said: "The navy must revitalize, and the general is very important. What do you think of this Qin Zhen?"

Shen An said: "This man is a warrior."

"Warrior..."

Zhao Shu nodded and said, "I understand."

Most of today's generals cannot be called warriors, but more like businessmen, so Shen An explained his views on Qin Zhen in just two words.

He is a pure warrior!

If this kind of person had the opportunity to command the navy and follow the orders of his subordinates, the Song navy would be able to silence the surrounding areas in just a few years.

Once the navy of the Song Dynasty formed an army, the cannibals would be in trouble.

What's the sea trade? I'm sorry, that's the sea trade of the Song Dynasty and has nothing to do with you.

The money that should be earned belongs to the Song Dynasty, so you can just squat at home and be second-rate dealers.

By controlling maritime trade, the Song Dynasty's finances will be improved, and the navy can continue to deepen...

It seems not so good in Europe, right?

At this time, the Song Dynasty was probably a paradise in their eyes, which could make them drool.

Thinking of those Europeans worshiping the Song Dynasty, UU reading www. uukanshu.net Shen An wishes he could set sail immediately...

…

Shen An took Zhao Shu all the way to the edge of the imperial city. When he dismounted, Zhao Shu turned around and asked, "Is Guoguo okay?"

An alarm went off in Shen An's heart, and he said calmly: "My roommate is naughty, she plays all day long, and she almost set the kitchen on fire yesterday."

Of course, you can't run around in the palace, let alone light a fire, so...

Zhao Shu's eyes were gentle and he said, "All children are like this."

Shen An said calmly: "My sister-in-law has been spoiled by me..."

If you are not afraid, then come. When the time comes, I would rather let Guoguo get a reputation of arrogance than let Zhao Zhongzhen have the opportunity to marry her.
