A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chang Jianren was thinking about what Qin Zhen said, and felt like a thunderbolt.

It turns out that the navy of the Song Dynasty also had a role to evacuate the monarchs and ministers in Bianliang City!

In other words, the previous monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty never thought about defeating the Liao people, and even prepared a way out for this.

No wonder the emperor and ministers of the Song Dynasty turned out to be so weak when the imperial edict issued a clear call for the Northern Expedition.

He picked up the telescope on his chest and looked ahead.

As the military branch with the highest requirements for reconnaissance, the navy has a high rate of telescopes, and lookouts are standard equipment.

The lookout stood high, so he could see far away. Chang Jianren waited for a stick of incense before he spotted the three ships.

"It's a merchant ship!"

Qin Zhen put down the telescope and said coldly: "Go around!"

The flag conveyed the order, and the fleet was divided into three groups. Qin Zhen and others were at the front. The warships separated to the left and right suddenly accelerated and went directly to outflank the merchant ships in front.

"They found out and are turning!"

The merchant ships discovered this fleet of warships and began to turn to escape.

"We are a warship. If they run away, we will wait for the imperial edict to kill Pu Jiu."

Thinking of Pu Jiu's fear of Shen An, Qin Zhen couldn't help but laugh and said: "Pu Jiu is cunning, but he doesn't dare to use his cunning on the person waiting for the imperial edict."

Chang Jianren held the handle of the knife and felt his blood boiling. "Dai Zhao is proficient in diplomacy. Even the Liao people can't coax him. What is a businessman? Military Lord, do you want to take action?"

Qin Zhen looked coldly at the merchant ship in front of him that had completed its turn, and said: "Those are guys who want money rather than life. They are more ruthless than water thieves. You have to be ruthless in a while, otherwise there will be some trouble..."

"Easy to say."

Chang Jianren said very calmly.

One chase and the other escape, the warships kept closing the distance between the two sides. When the merchant ship entered the range of the trebuchet, someone asked for instructions: "Master, can you throw gunpowder bombs?"

Qin Zhen looked at him sideways, "That's a merchant ship!"

Chang Jianren added: "There are goods on it, and those goods... Dai Zhao said that the navy of the Song Dynasty must learn to support itself. These goods are what feed us, and we must cherish them."

"Jianren said it well."

Qin Zhen said: "Prepare bows and arrows."

The warship quickly approached, and there were many people standing on the merchant ship. Those big men were either armed with swords, guns, or bows and arrows, and their eyes were full of unruliness.

"It's a Korean!"

The lookout's discovery made everyone become ferocious.

Qin Zhen ordered: "Anyone who does not put down his sword and gun will be killed without mercy!"

Everyone agreed with a roar.

The three merchant ships were gradually surrounded. The big men were a little nervous. Someone shouted: "I am a businessman. I have something to say, something to say!"

Qin Zhen raised his hand, his eyes full of coldness: "Fire the arrow!"

A wave of arrows passed, and the other side began to fight back.

Chang Jianren raised his shield and rushed to the front, where were the soldiers who were ready to join the gang.

These are fierce soldiers in the navy. They even took off their armor and left their upper bodies naked, just for the sake of lightness and to be able to float after falling into the water.

"Hook..."

The long hook and sickle spear stretched out to hook the gang of the merchant ship. Someone among the big men on the opposite side was wielding a knife to chop the hook and sickle spear.

"Fire the arrow! Shoot him to death!"

The big man fiercely blocked two arrows and finally cut off one of the hooks and sickles, but more hooks and sickles hooked their boat gang.

"pull!"

The two of them had hooks and sickles and pulled hard, and the two sides were close to each other.

"Kill the enemy!"

Qin Zhen couldn't help but be horrified when he heard this shout. When he saw Chang Jianren taking off his shirt and patting his ribs, he couldn't help but be confused.

Boom boom boom!

Chang Jianren held a knife in his right hand, slapped his ribs with his left hand, and roared: "Kill the enemy!"

"Kill the enemy!"

The warrior in front jumped over, and Chang Jianren followed.

"Protect Du Yuhou!"

Qin Zhen covered his forehead, helplessly discovering that his deputy was a brave man.

Chang Jianren jumped onto the merchant ship, lunged at a big man and killed him on the head with his sword.

"Marquis, be careful!"

Someone discovered that Chang Jianren was in crisis, but it was beyond their reach.

"ah……"

Chang Jianren was covered in ribs, and he raised his knife to chop them off with all his strength.

Qin Zhen couldn't help but feel weak when he saw this move from behind.

This is hacking without regard for life, that is, hacking.

At this time, the competition is not about martial arts prowess, but about who blinks.

No matter how brave people are, when faced with such a desperate moment, most people will subconsciously choose to defend...it's just a matter of speed.

The big man chose to defend, but the timing was very late.

He felt that he was the last to blink, but Chang Jianren didn't blink at all.

The knife struck diagonally from the shoulder. Chang Jianren drew the knife and swung it quickly again just like he had practiced countless times by the Jinming Pond.

Heads flew up.

Damn it!

Qin Zhen was preparing to rescue his deputy from behind. Looking at this scene, he felt that he was redundant.

So cruel!

He has been in the army for many years and has never seen such a desperate general.

Really, he swore he'd never seen it.

Even the bravest people will blink before facing death.

But not his deputy.

He just waved the knife numbly, as if he was just a piece of lifeless grass.

Chang Jianren rushed over. The big men were afraid of being killed and felt that there was no hope of breaking out. Most of them knelt down and asked to surrender. Only two of them were still standing, but their long knives had already dropped to the deck.

Chang Jianren rushed over, and when he waved his long sword, the heads of two big men rolled to the ground, and everyone couldn't help but be stunned.

He turned around slowly, his eyes full of blood.

"Is this a civil servant?"

Qin Zhen felt that most warriors could not compare with his deputy, at least not in terms of ruthlessness.

"Check the cargo and take the ship aboard."

"Don't worry, Commander, this is the property of our navy and we will never leave it behind."

The navy has to support itself, which is Shen An's expectation, but Qin Zhen feels that the task is very arduous and difficult to complete.

The corpses were thrown into the sea, floated and sunk, and were soon left behind the fleet.

Chang Jianren came back, covered in blood and the smell was pungent.

Qin Zhen said with satisfaction: "Go and wash up."

"good."

Now that the fleet had plenty of fresh water, Chang Jianren wiped himself clean. When he came back, his eyes had returned to normal.

The three merchant ships were tied behind the warship, and the fleet continued to move forward.

Qin Zhen was looking at the harvest, and kneeling at his feet was the Korean cargo owner.

"Yes, this trip is worth at least a thousand coins. With three ships, I will make a fortune."

He looked up and saw that Chang Jianren had returned to normal, so he asked: "Why are you so cruel? Is it nature?"

"No." Chang Jianren sniffed and retched, "When XX was in the Hanlin Academy, his colleagues were pretty good, but after XX offended someone, those colleagues distanced themselves from XX. Some even wanted to If you show kindness to a noble person, you will say bad words to someone..."

His eyes were cold, "I am so desperate, I just want to return to the Hanlin Academy one day and let my colleagues see that I am still outstanding even if I am no longer a civil servant. As for that noble man, I hope he can Stay alive."

This thing...

What a man!

Qin Zhen praised: "A good man who enjoys grudges, good! I accept you!"

Qin Zhen had been observing Chang Jianren since he joined the navy. He felt that it was unreliable to turn a civilian official into a military general, and he was worried that Chang Jianren would be dragged down by him.

Chang Jianren was very humble and studious when he first arrived. This gesture was praised by him, but it still needs to be observed.

Later, Chang Jianren prescribed meat during the battle against the Liao people, and Qin Zhen was half satisfied.

But just now he witnessed Chang Jianren slapping his ribs with one hand, raising a knife with the other and shouting for a fierce battle, and he no longer had any doubts in his heart.

This is someone’s deputy!

Chang Jianren knew this, so he cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Master."

He got through the first hurdle, and then came the adjustment period.

"You were born to be a warrior!"

Saying this in the Song Dynasty was suspected of being insulting, but Qin Zhen was very sincere, "The imperial edict said that if the naval army was to become the backbone of the Song Dynasty, it would need many outstanding generals. If you work hard, there will be a day when you can lead the army alone. "

Chang Jianren looked forward to it, "If this is the case, how many warships should the Song Dynasty have?"

"As for the warships... I mentioned it last time when I was having a drink with Zhao Zhao. He said that they would be divided into several locations, one in the north, one in the south, and several locations overseas..."

"overseas?"

The two of them looked at each other and felt their blood boil.

Overseas!

If the Song Dynasty Navy took steps overseas, what kind of magnificent events would it be like?

…

In the following days, the fleet successively intercepted more than ten smuggling ships and gained a lot.

The fleet began to approach Dengzhou, and Qin Zhen kept sending ships to find out the news.

"This place is close to Dengzhou and Liao's Tokyo Road, and the navy from both sides often encounter each other."

Qin Zhen was looking at the sea chart, and Chang Jianren was looking down in thought.

"The Liao people's navy was not very good at first. Later, the Song Dynasty canceled the diversion of the Yellow River, and they started to pay attention to it."

Qin Zhen smiled bitterly and said: "I remember that in the original battle to return to the river, it was Daizhao who insisted on it and proved that changing the route was a big mistake."

"This is a good thing for the Song Dynasty." Chang Jianren said: "The lower officials also knew what happened back then. First, he fought with the important ministers, and finally set an example in Bianliang City, proving that the narrow river channel cannot pass as much water as the Yellow River... …”

Qin Zhen said with a strange expression: "Yes! How can the narrow river channel carry the water of the Yellow River? These years..."

The monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty have all been mentally retarded in these years!

Because he was afraid that the Liao people would change the river course, he couldn't think of such a simple truth.

If future generations heard this, they would probably be stunned.

Isn’t this something that all children should know?

But...but it's so hard to explain in one word!

"Tai Zhao has a far-reaching vision. UUReading www.uukanshu.net" Chang Jianren's admiration for Shen An was almost undisguised, "At first, I thought it was impossible for me to join the Navy and just wanted to give it a try, but after meeting Dai Zhao After that, he firmly told the official that it was no problem, and the official believed it at that time."

"That..." Qin Zhen remembered what happened at that time and couldn't help but laugh: "After you went to ask for a meeting, Dai Zhao asked someone to find someone, and then the problem came out..."

"It's you?" Chang Jianren stood up and saluted. He really didn't know that Qin Zhen and Shen An were cheating together.

"Not so."

Qin Zhen smiled bitterly and said, "The answer given by someone...is not as good as yours. Do you know what that means?"

"Taizhao only needs a topic...Taizhao is actually proficient in navy matters?"

Chang Jianren was surprised and then calmed down, "Yes, I know everything about astronomy and geography."
