In September of the second year of Song Chongning, the East China Sea pirates suddenly launched a large-scale attack on the southeast coast of the Song Dynasty.

Among them, the coastal states of Songfujian Road were the most disturbed, and Zhangzhou, located south of Quanzhou, was even attacked by pirates.

So the 800-mile express of the southeast coast of the Song Dynasty was sent like snowflakes into the Song Jingshi and Kaifeng Mansion in Tokyo.

The Song court received an urgent document from the prefecture armies of the southeast coast around October of the second year of Chongning, and the Song Emperor Zhao Ji was extremely angry when he heard it.

When is this time? At this time, it was a critical period for the Song court to plan to use troops in the northwest.

In the second year of Chongning, the imperial court decided to use troops in the northwest to restore the land recovered during the period of Emperor Shenzong of the Song Dynasty.

But at this time, the East China Sea pirates attacked the southeast coast on a large scale. . .

You must know that the south of the Yangtze River and the southeast coast have always been the important tax areas of the Song Dynasty, and at this time, wouldn't the attack of the Haikou invaders drag Zhao Ji back to make contributions and restore his homeland?

What war is there to fight without money?

So Zhao Ji was very angry, issued a strict decree, ordered all along the coast to send troops to suppress bandits, and ordered the Song coastal provinces and prefectures to protect the territory and the people, if the city and land are lost, the court will be severely punished.

There are punishments and rewards, Zhao Ji decreed that if someone leads the army to defeat the pirates, the court will not hesitate to reward them.

Generally speaking, once there is a serious banditry, the imperial court will not immediately mobilize the imperial court forbidden army to suppress the bandits, because it is not easy for the imperial court to send troops.

At present, the elite army of the Song Dynasty is the imperial forbidden army and the northwest "Western Army" stationed near Kaifeng Mansion, and mobilizing these troops to suppress bandits not only takes a long time, but also has huge expenses, of which the road expenses alone are a huge expense.

Therefore, generally speaking, the matter of bandits is solved by the local state government itself, unless it is out of control and the situation is serious, the imperial court will also send troops to suppress the bandits at all costs.

At this time, the East China Sea Haikou only captured a state capital and several small counties, even if the Haikou captured ten state capitals, the imperial court would not send troops, unless the thieves occupied a large number of state capitals, and the local state capitals were powerless, the imperial court would mobilize elite forbidden troops to extinguish the bandits.

However, at that time, the first thing the imperial court did before sending troops was to behead Li Sanjian, the reason was that at this moment there was already an impeachment by the imperial history, saying that the serious consequences of the southeast coast were not unrelated to Li Sanjian's "Jinghai Ten Strategies".

。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

September of the second year of Song Chongning, Quanzhou

"Driving... Drive... Driving"

On a beach in Quanzhou, Li Sanjian galloped on horseback, like a galloping electric switch.

Li Sanjian's new divine horse "Howling Wind" is also running happily, with four hooves flying, as if flying, and the splash is enough.

Horses are used to ride, not for ornamentation, the more horses are ridden, the more miraculous they are, just for watching, they will develop their inertia, and the horses will become inferior horses, and become the "horse master" who is blessed. . . This is the view of Li Sanjian's entourage stone.

So after Li Sanjian returned from his inspection in Hui'an County this time, he walked his horse by the sea.

Li Sanjian is the more he walks, the more he feels the preciousness of the howling wind, which can be described as a thousand miles of horses, thousands of miles of horses, and a good horse that is hard to find.

Howling Wind's physical strength and speed are not a problem, it is like thunder, running like lightning, and what is amazing is that Howling Wind is extremely human, Li Sanjian does not need to make any special control actions, Howling Wind can understand Li Sanjian's meaning.

This is extremely rare, so that the stone has always been enviable.

Stone has been herding horses since childhood, and there are countless horses, but it is the first time that such a rare good horse has been seen.

After Li Sanjian galloped for a while, he jumped off the horse and personally cleaned the sweat on Xiaofeng's body with the seawater.

Xiaofeng turned around and rubbed Li Sanjian affectionately.

"Stone, you Khitans have been riding horses since childhood?" Li Sanjian asked the stone while cleaning.

The stone is a Khitan, Li Sanjian has already known that there is no need to hide this matter, but Li Sanjian did not mention this matter in front of others, and when the two were alone, Li Sanjian would ask about some Khitan things.

"What is it?" Shi Yan smiled and said: "The Khitan people grew up on horseback, eat on horseback, drink on horseback, sleep on horseback, and are all proficient in the art of riding horses. ”

Shi studied under Li Sanjian, and also learned some Han people's book bags.

Eat, drink, and sleep on the horse? Li Sanjian thought of something, and couldn't help but smile and asked: "It's okay to eat and drink right away, is it convenient to be right away?" How convenient is it right away? ”

"How can it not be convenient?" Hearing this, Shi Shi said angrily: "The Khitan people are not like you Han people, so many rules, so many rituals, and not as squeamish as you Han people, wind, sand, endless grassland, and birds of prey and beasts, this is the whole life of the Khitan people." ”

"Just kidding you, what are you anxious about?" Li Sanjian glared at the stone and said: "Elechuan, under the Yin Mountain, the sky is like a dome, covering the four fields. The sky is blue, the wilderness is vast, the wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep. The richness and magnificence of the grassland and desert have been longed for by Li for a long time, but unfortunately he has never had the opportunity to appreciate it! ”

"What does it mean to have no chance? Li Zhizhou, according to your ability, as long as... As long as I go to Daliao... You will definitely be a high-ranking official, so why should you stoop to this place in the corner of the sea? Even if you go to Daliao, there is no official to do, but how can the grassland scenery be compared here? Stone laughed.

The sky is blue, the wilderness is vast, the wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep.

Sure enough, it is worthy of being Song Zhuangyuanlang, it is a chapter of export, and a few words will outline the magnificent waves of the northern grassland, and the stone can't help but secretly admire it in his heart at this time.

Where is the stone, it's just that this is Li Sanjian's transfer of flowers and trees, plagiarism...

At the same time, Li Sanjian's words also evoked Shishi's thoughts about his hometown, the grassland, the desert, and his mother.

"You... Nonsense! Li Sanjian said to the stone with a smile when he heard this: "Don't look at you as a young man, Li really suspects that you are a Khitan worker." Li is a Han Chinese, how can he seek glory for his ancestors? ”

"What's wrong with the Han people? There are many Han people in Daliao, and there are not a few high-ranking officials in the court, and Li Zhizhou, your mother is a Li person, and in the eyes of the Han people, she is a Yi person, a barbarian, a barbarian, in fact, in the eyes of the Han people, you are no different from the Khitans. The stone laughed.

"Alright, let's not talk about it." Li Sanjian shook his head and interrupted Shi's words.

How could Li Sanjian not know that he was an outlier in the eyes of some people, and some officials in the DPRK and China had nothing to do, so they took this matter to a count.

In fact, for Li Sanjian, he doesn't care much about this kind of thing, saying that he is the same as Huaxia, isn't it the same where he is an official?

But although Li Sanjian's mother is a Li person, his father is a real Han person, and Fu Erniang married Li Qing and has long regarded himself as a Han person.

Fu Erniang will never spare Li Sanjian, and Li Sanjian's wife and concubine will also despise Li Sanjian, and it is even possible to abandon Li Sanjian...

"You stone... Li Sanjian was about to continue to speak to the stone, when suddenly a wolf smoke rose into the sky in the distance, making Li Sanjian unable to speak anymore.

Thick black wolf smoke rose into the sky, covering the entire sky, and it was clearly visible more than ten miles away.

This is a beacon fire, and the beacon fire is not easily ignited, once ignited, it indicates that something big will happen.

So Li Sanjian no longer paid attention to the stone, didn't say a word, turned over his horse, and galloped towards Quanzhou City.

Xiao Feng also seemed to know Li Sanjian's anxious mood, and he was running faster than ever at the moment, like a lightning bolt.

。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

"Where is Yao Yu? Where is Zhang Kan? ”

When Li Sanjian galloped to the state government, Cui Yongzi, the general judge of Quanzhou, had already led a cadre of civil and military forces in Quanzhou to wait in the state government, but he did not see his two generals, Yao Yu and Zhang Kan, so Li Sanjian jumped off the howling wind and asked.

"The subordinate has ordered them to reorganize their troops and horses." Cui Yongzi replied when he heard this.

"Where did you light the beacon?" Li Sanjian nodded and asked Cui Yongzi.

The beacon fire is the enemy's situation, and reorganizing the troops and horses and preparing for battle is indeed the most urgent matter at present.

"The beacon fire came from two directions." Cui Yongqi and Li Sanjian walked to the map together and said to Li Sanjian: "One is from the direction of Fuzhou and Xinghua Army, and the other is from the direction of Zhangzhou. ”

Beacon fire is passed from place to place, and once it is attacked somewhere, it will soon be passed everywhere.

However, it is not easy to judge where to encounter the enemy, so Li Sanjian pondered for a moment and said: "Is there an enemy attack in Quanzhou?" At this time, scouts should be sent everywhere to find out the enemy's situation. ”

At present, the most important thing is to maintain the flow of information and find out the enemy's situation.

I don't know where the enemy is attacking and harassing, so how can Li Sanjian and the others deal with it?

"So far, we have not received any news of attacks on counties, townships and towns in Quanzhou." Cui Yongzi nodded and replied, "The Tanma has been dispatched, just waiting for news." ”

"Li Zhizhou, Cui Tongju!" At this time, Wu Congming, the secretary of Quanzhou Jiedu, said: "There is a merchant from the Great Food Country who came to Quanzhou for help, and he said that he encountered a large number of pirate ships on the sea southwest of Quanzhou. ”

"The Great Food Country Merchant? A large number of pirate ships? Hearing this, Li Sanjian hurriedly ordered: "Hurry up and invite him in." ”

At present, what Li Sanjian and others need is nothing else, that is, news, no matter what the news, the more the better.

The merchants of the Great Food Country have encountered pirates, so it must have something to do with the enemy situation of this beacon fire.

"The villain, Lu Zhihua, a maritime merchant from the Big Food Country, visited Li Zhizhou." After Lu Zhihua, a maritime merchant of the Great Food Country, entered the hall, a few days later, his face was still full of fear.
