The sun is shining, the wind is beautiful, the blue sea makes people have infinite reverie in their hearts, five building ships were left in place to wait, three warships full of patrol troops marched towards the Diaoyu Islands majestically, Cao Feng said that it was not tense to be false, this was the first large-scale military battle collectively dispatched since their formation, Xiucai regarded it as indifferent, presumably the one who paid the most attention to this army was himself, Lord Song represented the court and the emperor, and he had to hear the sound of throwing so much money!

Gather people together Cao Feng said: "In front of a group of Japanese thieves, they burn, kill and loot, do all kinds of evil, today we want to eliminate harm for the people, on the battlefield if I see who cowers, as a deserter, after the battle will automatically withdraw from the inspection army, the emperor can spend the money on you to form an army, we can't get the results I'm afraid I can't say it, I won't say more, use the real battlefield to test your training results this year, and use the enemy's blood to prove yourself." ”

Song Qi said with a smile: "This kid is not bad, much stronger than Di Hanchen, who has not read, not only encourages morale but also explains the consequences to the soldiers, he is a good material to be a general, he is a lot of caution, it is useless to do a superficial job with you and me, what I want is victory, what the emperor wants to hear is good news, what the court needs is good news, do you want to go down and say a few words to them." ”

Lu Zifei said: "The pre-war mobilization work still has to be done, soldiers are not trained to easily cause slackness, psychologically relaxed, I am still very confident in these soldiers, Fengzi has been preparing for this day for a long time, he doesn't want to let himself down,

The training methods of the Northwest Army and the Patrol Army are generally the same, and the Patrol Army has more training subjects for water combat, and the intensity of Fengzi's training of soldiers can be seen from their mental outlook. ”

"You see, my old bones are not miserable enough to follow you all day long! I don't want merit but no fault, it's too dangerous to do things with you, ordinary people can't keep up with your train of thought, I only want to understand your layout along the way in the past two days,

That's how you use this to impress the emperor! I have been with the emperor for a long time, he is a good king, he can't take risks and open up the country, you are using money to attract the emperor's war ambitions. ”

Lu Zifei said: "Lord Song's words are wrong, you have to understand the national conditions of the Great Song Dynasty more thoroughly and deeply than me, and the current three-way battle must divert their attention from the internal fighting, you have been an official in the capital for several years!" The drought in the south of the Yangtze River is not the worst, the rebellion in Chengdu was quickly suppressed, you go to the northwest to see, that is the disaster, the northerners are the same as the local environment, more resolute, since ancient times, you have achieved the emperor from the south? ”

Song Qi said: "The economic center of the Great Song Dynasty was forced to move from Luoyang in the Later Tang Dynasty to Kaifeng, and the barren land in the north could not support the people of the Great Song Dynasty.

Last year, the number of Jinshi in the imperial court examination accounted for eighty percent in the south, and the remaining two percent were still the taller ones after the examiner told the emperor, and the imperial court is now difficult to ride a tiger, coupled with the frequent wars in the north, a large number of farmers fled to the south, which caused a more severe situation, the problem is there, anyone can see it, not who you want the court to be, there is really no perfect solution. ”

"What I do is to solve this problem for you, there will be no external war in the Great Song Dynasty in the next ten years, we will use this ten years to integrate the Great Song Dynasty, who else is our opponent in this world, surpassing the Qin Emperor, Han Wu and Tang Dynasty is not only a slogan, I don't want to miss the opportunity to leave a name in history."

"Why did you choose Quanzhou at that time, the pattern of Quanzhou is still a bit small, the geographical location of Leizhou, Qiongzhou, and Kowloon is better than that of Quanzhou, and the advantage of Quanzhou is that it is close to the Ryukyus, which is not a big problem."

Lu Zifei said: "The idea at that time is that the distance for the first time can not be too far, but it does not affect the overall situation, our harvest this time determines the development of the future sea road, I am optimistic about several points Dengzhou, Suzhou, Yangzhou, Shanghai, and one is Chuzhou, their location is excellent, after the imperial court has a war, we can quickly transport the troops to the south by sea, not to mention the circulation of materials, the rise of maritime transportation will connect the coastal areas as a whole, which is convenient for the management of the imperial court, The war with the outside world will end one day, and the most important thing is to build the country. ”

Song Qi said: "When you walk into the court, you will find that it is not so easy to do something, contain each other, balance all parties, I don't agree if you want to do it, the emperor is worried about these things all day?" Not everyone is the same as you and me. ”

Lu Zifei sighed: "Taizu is still powerful, he has collected military power, and taxes are directly under the central government, weakening the power of life and death of the governor and the prefect, delegating and restricting the judgment, and dividing the power of the prime minister between the two governments and three divisions, and his old man has achieved the ultimate centralization of power." ”

"The benefits are also obvious, the country's power is not in the hands of one person, there will be no local separatist forces, internal wars and losses are greatly reduced, although the Han and Tang dynasties are strong, they can die in the hands of their own people, and the literati are better in power than the martial arts, as the saying goes, 'Xiucai rebels, ten years will not be successful', there are contradictions in that dynasty, but you have seen the Great Song Dynasty treat the world so favorably."

The Song Dynasty is the dynasty closest to the capitalist country in history, not the two self-suicidal people who are in Jingkang's troubles, and the developed commerce and trade of the Northern Song Dynasty will at least make capitalism sprout.

Huang Shuangming has been here for a while, and when he saw that Lu Gongzi and Lord Song were discussing things, he didn't bother, and he came over and said without the two of them talking: "The pirate sentry has discovered us, and the inspector asked me to invite the two of you into the cabin to take shelter." ”

As soon as Lu Zifei heard this, such a strong lineup still needed to dodge, he took out his binoculars and looked at it, and saw several people pointing at the three battleships and saying something.

"Tell you Lord Inspector, Lord Song and I don't need to worry about him, just do our own thing."

The guards sent by the emperor are now obedient, knowing that Lu Gongzi is a rich man, hearing Huang Shuangming's words, dozens of people surrounded Lu Zifei and Song Qi in the middle, Song Qi laughed and said: "It seems that the lives of the two of us are quite valuable." ”

Lu Zifei ignored this old rascal, he wanted to know what the current combat effectiveness of the Japanese was, when the battleship was approaching the island, the pirates made an unexpected choice, they sent more than a dozen small boats to try to besiege the battleship, wanting to use the agility and mobility of the small boats to cause damage to the battleship, but they chose the wrong target,

They can't even leave a white mark on the iron-clad battleship with bamboo poles, and in this case, the co-pilots on the small boat all jumped into the sea, trying to repeat the trick of Scar Qiang against the Romans, such a big ship, I will destroy the bottom of your ship! When they got to the sea, they found out that they were wrong, they were very wrong, the bottom of the ship is iron, is your family so rich?

They didn't dare to send out the big ships, these three ships could not withstand the use of weapons to hit their own ships alone, whether the other party was in a hurry to attack, the pirate Kawa Zuoichiro said to the people who knew Chinese under his hand: "You ask the other side what they want, if they give up attacking us, I can pay them 10,000 taels of silver as compensation for the loss." ”

After this word was shouted, Cao Feng hesitated, Lu Zifei really wanted to knock his head open with a stick to see if it was really full of seawater, and a simple delaying strategy would make you dizzy.

"What do you think? Kill them, the wealth is all ours, do we need him to give it? Give them a round of bows and arrows, and send a few small boats down to guard the island, I don't want anyone to run away under my nose. ”

Cao Feng said to the soldiers: "Just the crossbowman retreats, the octagonal crossbow is ready, look at the flag in my hand, shoot in turn, give them a little color to see, aim a little, all you shoot out is money." ”

On the side of the octagonal crossbow, a soldier is responsible for loading the arrows, one is responsible for calibration, after a cup of tea, all the squad leaders made a prepared meaning with the flag, the flag in Cao Feng's hand waved, and more than thirty arrows the thickness of the baby's arm flew towards the seawall with the sound of the howling wind, and countless screams came in an instant, Lu Zifei saw an arrow shot through three people like a string of sugar gourds, and the arrow did not stop, with three people stuck on the wall, the trembling arrow tail showed how strong its impact was, and the pirates still wanted to save their companions from the arrows, The flag in Cao Feng's hand turned, and the three battleships turned around and repeated the action just now, and now there was no one to see who rescued their partners.

Cao Feng laughed frantically and scolded a crossbowman: "Twenty-seventh, I just saw that you shot an arrow into the sky, is there such a big bird in the sky?" The two of you will go down and collect arrows for me, everyone has just prepared their crossbows, don't go down with them, just shoot them with a crossbow, the two leaders on the ship don't seem to want to live anymore, a person has five dollars per head, how much you can earn depends on your own, but you are not allowed to rob your own people. ”

Fundamentally speaking, the patrol army is still a group of recruits, they still have the fear of war in their hearts, just now they saw the octagonal crossbow shoot so many people, the panic in their hearts was reduced, Cao Feng's words completely ignited the desire in the hearts of the soldiers, a head of five money, the beasts who just launched the octagonal crossbow are not a month's salary has been received.

"Hanzhang, do you really want to turn them into bloodthirsty beasts?"

"How come, there are still many of these soldiers who are singles, I heard that Japanese ladies will serve people, and when I am done, I will find a Japanese daughter-in-law for one of them, Shuangshuang, to ensure that nothing happens."
