"Zhao Kuangyin has been stationed in Yangzhou to prepare for the war, what about Li Chongjin? What did Li Chongjin do? ”

"Your Majesty, Li Chongjin has repeatedly urged Zhao Kuangyin to march to the south of the Yangtze River, but Zhao Kuangyin said that there are not enough ships and are requisitioning civilian ships in Jiangbei."

Guo Zongxun nodded, Zhao Kuangyin, sure enough, still showed the fox's tail.

"He wants to sweep up the ships in Jiangbei, in this way, he led the army to Jiangnan, once he rebels, my forbidden army in Da Zhou can't come back if he doesn't want to follow the rebel, and Jiangbei can't attack it for a long time, Liu Bowen, do you have a plan to crack it?"

"Your Majesty, if Zhao Kuangyin must be sure to rebel before dealing with him, the minister can only suggest that Your Majesty hurry up and start recruiting ship-making craftsmen, and most of the craftsmen who know how to make boats are in the Jiangbei area, at this time, I am afraid that it is also within the scope of Zhao Kuangyin's collection, and the minister can't think of a better way for a while."

Liu Bowen and Wei Zhongxian both strongly persuaded Guo Zongxun to strike first, either to dismiss Zhao Kuangyin's military power, or to simply kill Zhao Kuangyin......

However, they were all vetoed by Guo Zongxun.

Guo Zongxun didn't kill Zhao Kuangyin, there was no other reason, it was purely out of filial piety, he just didn't want to disobey Guo Rong's edict, and if he killed one Zhao Kuangyin, there would be more Li Kuangyin and Wang Kuangyin coming out.

There are many pretentious people in this world.

How to deal with Zhao Kuangyin, Guo Zongxun had already calculated in his heart, but he didn't say anything about anyone, and before Zhao Kuangyin clearly rebelled, Guo Zongxun didn't plan to tell anyone about the calculations in his heart.

"As soon as possible, arrange for the people of the Jinyi Weiwu Spy Division to infiltrate Jinling, Nanchang and even farther away, and pay close attention to training carrier pigeons, so that I can obtain any information about the Great Zhou and the territories outside the Great Zhou in the shortest possible time."

Carrier pigeons do not need to be invented by Guo Zongxun, there are many people who raise pigeons in Kaifeng, and the use of carrier pigeons to transmit messages has been very popular since the Tang Dynasty.

"The minions obey."

The martial spies cultivated by the Qin Society have now seen the effect, these veterans who have retired from a hundred battles, their age is not important, choose them from them with flexible minds, and step up to teach them to read and write? Teach them to write intelligence in code, teach them how to disguise and hide themselves? Teach them how to use means to obtain information about enemy countries......

Guo Zongxun believes? Espionage warfare, which has started since ancient times? Many countries have special training institutions, but? Do you know how to use systematic training methods to train these military spies? He, Guo Zongxun, is definitely the first.

The role of a Qin Society? Maybe it's not much, but the role of the military spies cultivated by Qin Hui can be worth millions of troops, which is why Guo Zongxun has been dragging on not killing Qin Hui in the first place.

Qin Hui's final performance made Guo Zongxun very satisfied? I am also very lucky.

If such a person goes to another country......

Actually, right? Guo Zongxun felt that his worries were a bit redundant, Qin would be such a talent, so you have to be able to use, reuse, and know how to use it.

In this era, you want to cross the river to fight? Guo Zongxun is not too worried, how wide and long is the Yangtze River? If you stay in a place where the river is narrow, then the army of the Great Zhou will cross the river from a place where the river is wider.

As long as a bridgehead was laid on the other side of the Yangtze River, Guo Zongxun would not believe it, with the explosives he asked Song Yingxing and others to develop quickly, who else in this world could stop the army of the Great Zhou.

"The people sent to follow Yue Fei's army to survey Shanxi, do you have any news back?"

Guo Zongxun is now also anxious to find coal mines that can be mined by simple means, and he only knows that there is coal in Shanxi, but he does not know where it is, whether it is good or not, and whether there is an open-pit mine.

Anyway, people in this era already know about the existence of coal and have a certain coal mining technology, but they may only know that coal can be burned for heating.

"Your Majesty, regarding the search for the mine, not long after Marshal Yue's army was launched, the people we sent out found it in Huaizhou (Jiaozuo) generation, but Huaizhou is north of the Yellow River, and although coal mines have been found in Huaizhou, the open-pit mine mentioned by His Majesty has not been found for the time being."

Guo Zongxun asked people to take the map, looked at it for a long time, patted his head, he was really stupid, serious bias, Huaizhou is so close to Kaifeng, within the territory of the Great Zhou, there are coal mines, why didn't he think of it before, and he has been thinking about Taiyuan, Linzhou and Fuzhou......

Also, why do you have to find an open-pit mine, when the explosives are made, go to Huaizhou to find a few places where coal mines are found, and blow up a few hills for me, not afraid that you won't find coal.

"The coal found in Huaizhou, transport the samples back to me as soon as possible, send Song Yingxing to bring people over, just go there to test explosives, as long as it is a deserted mountain range, as long as it is not cultivated land and forests, and the rest of the place, I will allow him to blow it up at will."

Guo Zongxun was immediately happy, once he discovered a coal mine that could be mined in a large area, it meant that the preliminary exploration of the Great Zhou industry in his mind could begin.

"Decree, order the Ministry of Industry to send special personnel to the banks of the Yellow River to recruit ship-making craftsmen for me, build a ship wharf near Huaizhou, start shipbuilding, you can first solicit and buy civilian ships, choose a place where the river is narrower, and build a pontoon bridge that can be built, and if you can't load the ship, send 50,000 Khitan slaves over, 45,000 are responsible for mining and mining, and 5,000 are responsible for pulling fiber and transporting coal, and transport the coal to the mountains near Kaifeng and pile it up, and send the army to take care of it."

"The minions obey."

Guo Zongxun walked around the imperial study excitedly, rubbing his hands constantly.

"By the way, the old immortal Weng has been in good health recently, and the craftsmen of Wushuangmen have also sent some to help build a ship-making dock, so that Song Yingxing can go to find Liu Liancheng before leaving, and it is best to bring him over as well, and tell him that he is not in a hurry to study anything else, and first help me to clean up the matter of mining and digging coal, and I will have a heavy reward."

"Your Majesty, the old slave often goes to the Wushuang Gate for a while, the old immortal Weng is in good health, and his spirit is strong, I heard that this Liu Liancheng seems to be studying something, if it is successful, in the words of the old immortal, then my army of the Great Zhou can be invincible."

Guo Zongxun looked at Li Tongjie, since his grandfather's affairs were exposed, he asked Li Tongjie to arrange special manpower to protect his grandfather's safety, and the big and small affairs on his grandfather's side were handed over to Li Tongjie to take care of.

"Companion Li, the old immortal is a person who likes to brag, you'd better investigate it first and then report back to me."

"The old slave didn't dare to deceive His Majesty, Liu Liancheng studied something, and the old slave went to see it, if this really happened, the old slave also thought that even if it couldn't guarantee that my Great Zhou army would be invincible, at least it would be much easier to defend and siege the city than before."

Guo Zongxun couldn't hold back his excitement, Song Yingxing's side has not yet been brilliant, but this Liu Liancheng has come up with good things first.

"Li Banban, tell me what Liu Liancheng developed?"
