Chapter 416: Qiantang River Military Exercise

Lu Yutong pulled Zhao Qing into her carriage, and she usually sent Zhao Qing home and then back to the palace. After Liao Jing separated from the two, he returned to Fuzhong in a carriage.

When she got home, she went back to her room and began to prepare the pastries and fruits for tomorrow's outing, and then opened the wardrobe to choose a suitable outfit.

At this moment, the room was pushed open, and Liao Shan walked in.

"Daddy, why don't you knock on the door when you enter the room!" Liao Jing complained.

"You're my daughter, I'm knocking on something." Liao Shan glared, saw her clothes on the bed, frowned, and said, "What, I'm going out to play tomorrow?" ”

"yes."

"With whom?"

"Yu Tong and Zhao Qing." Liao Jing said with a little weakness.

"Didn't I tell you how close you have been to the young lady of the Wei Mansion lately? Why are you still with the two before? ”

Liao Jing bit her lip tightly, feeling that her father was too stupid, Lu Yutong was the sister of His Royal Highness King Wu, so she should naturally be closer to her, but unfortunately Lu Yutong did not allow her to reveal her identity, which made her very depressed.

"Why don't you reply to Daddy?"

"Lin Renzhao came to invite me today, so I agreed to go." Liao Jing was in a hurry.

"The son of the Zhang family? Well, that's in the past. Liao Shan twisted his beard and said.

"By the way, Daddy, have you been very close to Shi Chongxin recently?"

"How do you know?" Liao Shan was surprised.

"I heard from someone who said that he has been coming to our house a lot lately."

Liao Shan nodded: "He is the Marquis of the forbidden army of the fourth grade, he has just entered the officialdom, and there are many things in the officialdom that he doesn't understand, so he often comes to ask his father for advice, why, why did he suddenly ask him?" ”

"Do you remember the background of my classmate Zhao Qing?"

"Well, his brother is a subordinate in Concubine Qing's mother's family."

"I'm a deputy butler now!" Liao Jing corrected.

"Tell me!" Liao Shan said impatiently.

"It's her brother, I heard Concubine Qing mention Shi Chongxin, and she seemed to be very dissatisfied with Shi Chongxin in her words, saying that he had a problem."

"What's the problem?"

"It's like saying that he doesn't have real talent."

"Are you sure?"

"What my classmate said in person will definitely not be wrong!" Liao Jing hoped to take this opportunity to let her father know about Zhao Qing's role, so that she would not be prevented from playing with Zhao Qing and Lu Yutong.

Liao Shan paced back and forth in the house for a few steps, suddenly left the house, went back to the room to change his clothes, and left the mansion.

He didn't fully believe Liao Jing's words, after all, she was still a child, but he was careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, so he decided to investigate.

In the carriage, Liao Shan visited the homes of several officials who had good relations and inquired about Shi Chongxin.

This inquiry, he really inquired about the situation.

According to a colleague in Hangzhou, two days ago, Shi Chongxin broke into a house with Han Xing, the head catcher of the government, who knew that Concubine Niangniang was also inside.

This matter caused all kinds of conjectures, according to the news from the palace, the king was recently preparing to appoint Shi Chongxin as the commander of the forbidden army and the navy, but he was opposed by the concubine Niangniang.

The two made an agreement that Concubine Niangniang would choose one person to conduct a naval exercise with Shi Chongxin, and Shi Chongxin could only become the commander of the naval army if he won.

And Shi Chongxin broke into the house, the head of the household is called Zhu Long, who used to be a famous pirate, and it is likely that he was the one selected by Concubine Yu to compete with him.

Judging from this matter, Shi Chongxin's behavior is obvious, it is likely that he has no confidence to win, so he wants to secretly make a Y move.

Knowing this, Liao Shan knew what he should do.

He returned to the mansion, wrapped the gifts given by Shi Chongxin, and sent them back to the Shi Mansion, and at the same time asked for all the gifts he gave back, drawing a clear line with him.

……

The next day, a naval exercise arrived on the Qiantang River as scheduled.

The Qiantang River is connected to the Fuchun River and the Xin'an River. Located in Hui'an Province, the Xin'an River joins the Qujiang River in Muzhou to form the Fuchun River. The Fuchun River flows into the Qiantang River in Hangzhou, which is directly connected to the East China Sea.

Lu Yuan did not want the labor division to mobilize the people, so the military exercise was set in the waters of the Qiantang River in the city.

Next to the widest body of water of the Qiantang River in the city, Lu Yuan and his officials stood on a platform on extremely high ground.

There is a wide field of vision here, and as far as the eye can see, the river is turbulent, and the sound of the waves crashing is far above the ordinary river.

Lu Yuan looked at the river and sighed with emotion.

Before coming to this world, he had always had a plan to go to the Qiantang River to watch the tide, but he didn't expect the plan to come true in this way.

To his left and right, stood Qin Youyu and Yu Xun, respectively, and dozens of civil and military officials, all standing behind Lu Yuan. A hundred meters to the right of the platform, there is also a small platform, on which are all students of White Horse Academy.

Lu Yutong stood beside Lin Renzhao, tiptoeing to look at the river, but he didn't even see a shadow.

"Why haven't you started yet?" She complained.

"Come on, be patient for a while." Lin replied.

Liao Jing's heart moved, * opened the small bag on his body, took out the pastries and fruits, and said with a smile: "Let's wait while eating, this is what I specially prepared." ”

Lu Yutong and Zhao Qing were never polite to her, and when they were caught, they devoured it, and Lin Renzhao also took a piece of pastry and ate it, only Wang Yi remained motionless, staring closely at the river.

After a long time, Wang Yi suddenly shouted: "It's here." ”

Lu Yutong looked up and saw more than a dozen boats sailing far away on the river.

"Why are these ships?" She was greatly disappointed.

"Why is it so small!" Zhao Qing shouted.

The voices of the two drew a sideways glance.

"Don't talk nonsense, this is a Flying Tiger ship and a Flying Leopard ship, which can carry a thousand and five hundred people respectively, and now the distance is too far so it looks small, and it is very big when it gets closer." Wang Yi said in a deep voice.

Because he looked serious and his tone was low, Zhao Qing was suppressed by him and didn't dare to speak, but Lu Yutong didn't care, stretched out his little hand and nodded, and after a long time, he said, "A total of twelve ships." ”

"Yes, both sides consist of one Flying Tiger and five Flying Leopards." Lin Renzhao nodded.

"How do you compare that?"

Lin Renzhao has long understood this aspect, and said skillfully: "It's very easy, the spears and crossbows on both sides have not been opened, and the front is painted with paint, and anyone who is hit will leave traces on their bodies, which is equivalent to death, and they are not allowed to move again." ”

"So how do you win?" Lu Yutong kept asking.

"Do you see the flags on the Wyvern on both sides?"

"Is it the red one?"

"Yes, as long as whoever wins the chess pieces first, the military exercise is over, the two sides start with 5,000 points each, and the chess pieces are worth 1,000 points, and at the end of the day, a soldier who survives adds one point, and the soldier who dies but is still in action deducts one point, and whoever has more points in the end wins!"

"Ah, look, it's a triangle on the left!" Lu Yutong shouted excitedly.

Lin Renzhao realized that she wasn't listening to herself at all, shook her head with a smile, and began to look intently at the shape of the river qi.

I saw that the six boats on the left, as Lu Yutong said, were headed by the Flying Tiger Boat, followed by two Flying Leopard Boats, and then followed by three Flying Leopard Boats, forming a triangle and rushing to the right.

Seeing the qi ng shape on the right, Lin Renzhao frowned, and the six ships on the right did not react, as if they were planning to meet the enemy like this.

When the triangular formation on the left was two hundred meters away from the right flotilla, the right flotilla began to fire repeaters in a hurry.

The students of Bailu Academy immediately discussed.

"What are you doing?" Some students said.

"Is the main one on the right a pig's brain? If you put a repeater at such a distance, the wind at sea is very strong, should he think that he is fighting on land? A student who is taller than Lin Renzhao said.

"I heard that the commander of the fleet on the right is that Shi Chongxin, and I don't know why the king appointed such a person as the Marquis of Duyu." A short student said.

Wang Yi immediately glared at the student who spoke, and said loudly: "That's why the king arranged this military exercise to test his ability!" ”

"But what is there to see about this kind of military exercise, it is better to go back and read the military book."

Lin Renzhao said coldly: "Then you go back, and there is no mandatory requirement to come." ”

Seeing that they were outnumbered, the short student snorted and stopped talking.

"Ah, look, the triangle is separated!" Lu Yutong shouted excitedly.

"Really!" Zhao Qing snapped in agreement.
