The blue sea was a beautiful sight, but now there are a lot of debris on the sea, including planks, rags, ropes, etc., which looks like a pile of garbage has been dumped into the sea.

"Master Hou, there should be a ship in distress ahead!" At this time, Commander Hu also stared at the sea and said.

"Killed? The wind and rain just now were not very strong, how could there be a shipwreck? Li Zhang was also a little surprised when he heard this, and even he immediately thought of pirates, I heard that after some pirates robbed merchant ships, they might have scuttled the merchant ships for reasons such as destroying corpses and destroying traces, so that the ships would also sink to the bottom of the sea with the merchant ships, could it be that there were pirates in front of them?

"This is the route to Hangzhou, and it is already very close to Hangzhou, there should be no pirates who dare to approach easily, the only explanation is that a ship was shipwrecked in the wind and rain just now." Commander Hu also seemed to see Li Zhang's thoughts at this time, and he also opened his mouth to explain.

It has been a while since they left Quanzhou, and further on is Hangzhou, compared to Quanzhou and Guangzhou, although Hangzhou is inferior in port, but because it is a transportation hub of land and sea, the coastal defense is still very strict, and few pirates dare to approach.

"The wind and rain just now are so small, there will be ships shipwrecked?" Li Zhang asked again in disbelief when he heard this, although the wind and rain just now made the ship very turbulent, but it was still within the range of bearing, and he didn't even have to tie himself to the pillar.

"Master Hou doesn't know, not everyone can be as stable as our warships, especially some small overseas countries, their ships are small and broken, the wind and rain just now is nothing to us, but it is fatal enough for some small ships." Commander Hu patiently explained at this time.

As soon as Commander Hu's words fell, as if to prove his words, he saw that some floating corpses finally appeared on the sea in front of him, and Li Zhang immediately picked up the binoculars and looked into the distance, and found that the appearance of those floating corpses was very familiar, and they turned out to be the Japanese people he had seen.

"It turned out to be a Japanese person, but it's a pity!" At this time, Commander Hu also saw the floating corpse on the sea through the telescope, and he showed a regretful expression and sighed.

"How come there are so many women?" At this time, Li Zhang also recognized that there were a lot of women among the floating corpses, and ordinary sea boats prohibit women from getting on the boat, and even if there were, there were very few, but now nearly half of the floating corpses on the sea were those short widows he had seen.

"Master Hou has heard of borrowing seeds?" Commander Hu suddenly smiled a little dirty.

Li Zhang also reacted immediately when he heard this, when he first met the Japanese people, there were many Japanese girls who followed the Japanese delegation to the capital to borrow seeds, and I heard that they also specially asked the students of the Guozijian to borrow seeds, and some people even gave themselves a Japanese girl, and finally they were driven out by themselves.

"These people are really shameless, do they often go to the coastal area to borrow seeds?" Li Zhang asked with a frown.

"It's not always that the shipbuilding skills of the Japanese are so poor that their small boats can only float by the currents, so they come once or twice a year at most." Commander Hu replied again, but as soon as his words fell, he only heard a cry for help from the sea, which made Commander Hu immediately pat his thigh and shouted, "There is a life!" ”

Li Zhang also heard the sound at this time, but only to see a lot of wooden planks and wooden beams floating on the sea in the distance, and some people were waving to this side with these floating objects, and there was an unconcealed ecstasy in their voices, after all, there is nothing more surprising than the rest of their lives after the catastrophe.

Commander Hu immediately ordered people to rescue people, there are not many of these people alive, there are probably only a dozen, and most of them are women, when Commander Hu makes this group of sailors and soldiers under his command see those surviving women, their eyes are about to glow green, after all, they all know what these women do.

Li Zhang also shook his head secretly when he saw this situation, although the situation of the sailors in Hangzhou was a little stronger than that of the sailors in Quanzhou, Guangzhou and other places, but it was also very limited, and it seemed that after he returned to the capital, he would have to promote a drastic reform of the sailors.

Encountering this group of shipwrecked Japanese people was just a small episode on the road, and soon their ship arrived in Hangzhou, and Li Zhang stayed in Hangzhou for a few more days, mainly because he was in a hurry when he passed by here before, so he did not conduct a detailed investigation of Hangzhou, so he took advantage of the fact that he was not in a hurry, so Li Zhang also had a detailed understanding of Hangzhou's maritime trade and sailors.

However, just when Li Zhang was about to leave Hangzhou, someone in the capital suddenly sent a message, which was specially sent to him by Zhao Zhen, and it was also the news about the truth of Yelu Sect of Liao.

Last time, Yelu Zongzhen suffered a big defeat in Gubei, and after he fled back to Zhongjing, the situation in Liao was also unstable, and what was worse was that Yelu Zongzhen, a guy with a small amount of energy, actually had a serious illness because of this, which made the people in Liao State panic, if Yelu Zongzhen died of illness because of this, his son was too young, and even if he succeeded to the throne, it would definitely be another turmoil.

But fortunately, Yelu Zong really had a big life, and he slowly recovered after being ill for several months, and then he began to rectify the situation in Liao, but at this time, many Liao nobles had a somewhat different attitude towards him, and Yelu Zongzhen's will was not opposed by anyone on the surface, but it could not be implemented at all.

It can be said that Yelu Zongzhen was facing a dilemma that the government decree did not go out of Zhongjing, and what was worse was that the Jurchens in the north also rebelled in the spring of this year.

In this case, Yelu Zongzhen, who had just recovered from a serious illness, could only order Yelu Ren to lead the troops to the expedition first, and after the defeat, Yelu Zongzhen could not use many troops in his hands, and the other nobles of the Liao State were not willing to obey Yelu Zongzhen's dispatch to send troops, and as a result, when Yelu Ren set out first, the troops in his hands were only 5,000 people.

But Yelu Renxian is worthy of being a generation of famous ministers of the Liao State, after he led the troops to the front line, he didn't know what method he used, and he actually persuaded some mature Jurchens, the so-called mature Jurchens, in fact, were the Jurchens who had taken refuge in the Liao State before, and the Liao State used the hands of these Jurchens to manage other Jurchens, and this rebellion was mainly due to the birth of Jurchens, and the mature Jurchens did not participate, but the relationship between the mature Jurchens and the raw Jurchens was complicated, and it was not completely opposite, so although they did not participate this time, they were also cold bystanders.

However, as soon as Yeluren arrived first, he immediately made the mature Jurchen to his advantage, and with the help of the mature Jurchen, the rebellion of the Jurchens was quickly suppressed, and it was through this great victory that the prestige of Yeluzong Zhen was also stabilized.

As the so-called blessing and misfortune depend on each other, the rebellion of the Jurchens was a bad thing, but with the suppression of this rebellion, the prestige of Yelu Zongzhen was also stabilized, coupled with the help of Yelu Renxian, Yelu Zongzhen also began to rectify the chaos in the country, and as a result, the situation in Liao has slowly stabilized after more than half a year, and according to this trend, it may not take a few years for Yelu Zongzhen to completely control Liao.

Of course, it is basically impossible for the Liao State to restore the situation before the Gubeikou War, after all, the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun are the richest land in the Liao State, and if they lose there, they will lose most of the granaries, and the number of people will also be greatly reduced, which is directly related to the number of soldiers.

In addition, after the last defeat, the Liao people have also been afraid of the Great Song Dynasty, some time ago Yelu Zongzhen also took the initiative to send envoys to the Great Song Dynasty to ease the hostile relations between the two countries under the advice of Yelu Renxian, and Zhao Zhen also needed to stabilize Yanyun's rule, and did not want to conflict with the Liao State for the time being, so he also made a false deal with the other party, and temporarily resumed commercial contacts with the Liao State.

However, Yelu Zongzhen has never been a peaceful character, and just when the situation in the Liao Kingdom was just beginning to improve, he suddenly made another decision that surprised everyone.
