Just when Ali Hague's father and son were in the middle of the stream, full of pride, and wholeheartedly emulating Zhang Hongfan, destroying the Song Dynasty in one fell swoop, and also coming to the cliff city of Leming, more than ten miles away from the Chinese military ship, the queen of the palace guarding the warship at the end of this fleet was intercepting a fleet of seven merchant ships for routine inspection.

The Southern Song Dynasty was extremely prosperous in maritime trade, and the imperial court was in revenue, and Thailand relied on it. With half of the country, it has fought against Liao, Jin, and Mengyuan for many years, and has made great contributions to maritime commerce. And the more apocalyptic it is, the greater the demand for maritime trade. Therefore, even though the smoke on land is everywhere, the merchant ships at sea are still weaving back and forth, and they are not affected in the slightest.

In order to prevent the maritime merchants from spying on the military aircraft, the two wings of the fleet and the rear of the palace were arranged to intercept the approaching merchant ships.

Although the sea is vast, it is not possible to walk as much as you want, and you must follow a fixed route to ensure the safety of your boat. Ali's army in The Hague dominated the route, and many merchant ships departing from Leizhou and Qiongzhou had to enter the port and wait, complaining bitterly. The ships departing from Guangzhou, Quanzhou, Fuzhou and other places, due to the remote geographical area, did not get any news, and they inevitably encountered halfway. These merchant ships were intercepted and driven to Leizhou, where they were allowed to sail only after the convoy had entered the port of Qiongzhou.

At this moment, the merchant fleet has been forced to stop and gather. Behind the palace, on the bow of the warship of the Yuan army, a group of newly attached soldiers in armor surrounded a rough general who was about thirty years old and had a thick beard, and the rough voice of the general echoed over the ship: "This general is Liu Zhongxiao, a thousand households of the Great Yuan marching army, and he follows the orders of the provincial Jinghu Zuocheng and the marshal of Menghandu, Lord Ali Hague, to check the ships to prevent assassination. You wait as soon as you can bring in the photo. If the Song people were the eyes and ears and admit it early, they would have not been investigated in the past, and if they could provide espionage, they would be rewarded......"

In the hunting sea breeze, a middle-aged man wearing a square scarf and a blue robe with a silk disc round neck and a black robe stood on the bow of the merchant ship, listening to the general's lecture with a smile on their faces - looking at the faces of these two people, it was Su Liuyi, the commander of the Song Army's palace, and Jiang Zongjie, the leader of the black crows who had not been seen for a long time.

As soon as the general's voice fell, Su Liuyi smiled and said: "Where does the general say, he is just a ship merchant in Xiaxia, and he travels at sea all year round, but he wants a bowl of stable rice to eat, and he will do such things as killing himself." Come on, Jing'er, present our spy photos to General Liu. ”

A young man in the cabin was holding a brocade box and came out in response - it was Su Jingzhan, the commander of the Song Water Army.

Several new recruits took the brocade box in Su Jingzhan's hand, tied it tightly with ropes, and hung it from the side of the ship. The new recruits on the sampan below took it, rowed under the warship, and sent the brocade box in the same way.

As soon as the brocade box was in his hands, Liu Zhongxiao felt that the weight was different, and then looked at Su Liuyi's "you know" smile on his face, he understood, opened the brocade box quietly, his eyes lit up, and he whispered a few words to a tall and thin general with a gloomy face beside him.

A pair of brown eyes flashed with greed, and he squinted and nodded. Then he left the bow with Liu Zhongxiao and entered the cabin.

When Liu Zhongxiao and the Semu army general entered the cabin to inspect the "Wen Spy Certificate", Jiang Zongjie said in a low voice: "Liu Zhongxiao is a general in Tanzhou (Changsha). The Yuan army attacked Tanzhou, and the city was broken and surrendered to the Yuan. Fortunately, he didn't know Su Gong, otherwise he would be in danger. ”

Su Liuyi nodded silently, thinking of the battle of Tanzhou, his heart was both angry and sad. At the beginning, Ali Hague led the Yuan army to attack Tanzhou, and the battle was extremely tragic, with 70 days of attack and dozens of battles. At the end of the battle, even Ali Hague was hit by an arrow. In the case of losing the outer city, the defenders of Tanzhou rebuilt the moon city to resist each other until the city was finally broken. Friend Song Hunan pacification envoy and Zhitan Prefecture Li Fu died unyieldingly, and the transfer envoy Zhong Feiying and Dutong Chen Yi all committed suicide and martyred.

Su Liuyi has never heard of Liu Zhongxiao's name, and it is estimated that most of them are generals and commanders, and they don't hear it - hehe, loyalty, loyalty, neither loyalty nor filial piety!

When Su Liuyi and Jiang Zongjie whispered, Liu Zhongxiao and the general of the new annexed army came out of the cabin one after another, and Liu Zhongxiao's mouth was open and closed, obviously very satisfied with the results. And the generals of the Semu army observed the two from time to time.

Su Liuyi has been through ups and downs for a long time, and Jiang Zongjie is a spy leader, and his psychological quality is not ordinarily strong. They spoke rebellious words, and their expressions were calm and unusual.

The color eye general looked at Su Jingzhan again.

Although Su Jingzhan is young, he has also experienced life and death, like them, who have lived for the rest of their lives, their will has already been exercised extremely tenacious-to be able to grit their teeth and persist in the situation of the country's ruin and the end of the road, and it is unimaginable without strong will and faith.

The general stared at Su Jingzhan for a while, and only saw a gentle, neither humble nor arrogant smiling face, and he really couldn't find fault with it.

Liu Zhongxiao's voice sounded: "Are you waiting for cloth and fur to be sold?" ”

Su Liuyi arched his hand and smiled: "Exactly." Would you like to check it out? ”

Although he received a gift, he also had to do a routine job, Liu Zhongxiao glanced at the general and said, "The general's duty is naturally to be inspected." ”

Su Liuyi is naturally not afraid of inspection, because he is really "trafficking" cloth and fur, and by the way, "trafficking people".

Su Liuyi's trip recruited brave and recruited volunteers, and the harvest was not small, and a total of 8,000 volunteers were recruited. Due to the lack of ships and the fact that the momentum was too loud to attract the attention of the Yuan court, they set out in three batches, and the first batch of 2,000 people entered Qiong.

On the pretext of Su Liuyi, Jiang Zongjie's servants, boatmen, etc., and on the grounds of going south to avoid disasters and make a living, these volunteers traveled with the ship and crowded the seven ships of thousands of materials. Fortunately, Su Liuyi trafficked not much ballast cloth and fur and other goods, otherwise the ship would really not be able to bear it.

Recruiting volunteers and raising military funds is the task of Su Liuyi's trip. It can not only collect materials, but also use it as a cover, killing two birds with one stone.

The most lacking thing in its implementation is iron, grain and cloth, but iron is a forbidden item, and Zhancheng rice is heard from far and near, and the grain and rice can only be sent from the south to the north, and it is not heard of from the north to the south. And the Nanyang states did not have much demand for cloth, except for silk. Su Liu Yi was worried about the clothes and quilts of the large number of people who were about to pour in, how could he buy such a luxury thing as silk? After thinking about it, it would be more appropriate to transport furs. Fur is a product of the north, and the formation of the new army, fur can be tanned for tanning armor, no matter how much is not too much. Cloth is also very important, you can bring a little bit is a little, just don't make too many suspicious people.

The demand for fur materials in the Nanyang states was relatively strong, and there was a lot of trafficking in maritime merchants at that time, although Su Liuyi's batch of goods was larger, it was quite normal. Therefore, seeing that the new attached soldiers boarded the ship one after another, climbed up and down to inspect, Su Liuyi, Jiang Zongjie and others just twisted their beards and laughed, and answered the questions of Liu Zhongxiao and the generals from time to time.

After some questions and answers, seeing that there were no flaws, Liu Zhongxiao waved his hand and was about to drink the order to close the team.

Suddenly, the hatch slammed open, and a stout new army sign walked out with a child under his head, swearing, and threw the child on the deck with his hands raised.

The child cried out in pain and struggled.

When I saw this child, with Su Liuyi's calmness, Jiang Zongjie's city, and Su Jingzhan's calmness...... At this moment, Qi Qi changed color.
