After inspecting the progress of iron smelting, Shi Jin came out of the iron smelting workshop, and Ruan Xiaoer followed.

Shi Jin walked towards Zhongyi Hall while thinking about what he was going to do next.

Ruan Xiaoer, who had always been preoccupied, hesitated again and again but said: "Marshal, our three brothers don't want to continue to stay in Shuibo, we also want to see the majestic sea!" ”

When Shi Jin heard this, he raised his head and said, "What, Brother Ruan, do you also want to join the navy?" ”

Ruan Xiaoer nodded again and again when he heard it and said, "Uh-huh...... We've thought about it too. Now that many of the brothers are gone, the mountains are getting more and more deserted. Not to mention, if the marshal recovers Yanyun in the future. Then there is no need for the Liang Shanshui Master to exist, so we ......! ”

The Ruan brothers have always lived a heartless life, and they are all people who have wine today and are drunk today.

The development of the water master in their hands was very slow, until Li Jun and Zhang Heng went up the mountain, and there was competition.

The three brothers of the Ruan family finally had a sense of crisis and began to take the water master seriously.

However, character determines fate, and under their passive character, they are always one step behind Li Jun and Zhang Heng in the leapfrog development of Liangshan.

After Li Jun and Zhang Heng formed the navy, they all worked desperately to make merits, grab people and ships, expand their naval forces, and even thought of forming a similar "marine" to compete with the army.

The three brothers of the Ruan family still lived a life of drinking and eating meat.

Since the separation of the Navy Division and the Navy, the Navy has more than 3,000 sailors, and the sailors of the Liangshan Water Division are still only more than 600 people.

The strength of the navy has completely overwhelmed the sailors.

Now Liangshan still needs a sailor to protect, and in the future, a sailor will be needed to cross the river south, and the status of the navy and the navy is still equal for the time being.

The original three giants of the navy, Ruan Xiaoer, Li Jun, and Zhang Heng, were all generals.

But anyone with a discerning eye can see that Shi Jin attaches more importance to the navy.

The military merits of Zhang Shun, Tong Wei, Tong Meng and others in the navy rose very quickly, and they might have been promoted that day.

But Ruan Xiaowu and Ruan Xiaoqi have not had any merits for nearly a year.

If this continues, the gap between the naval division and the navy will only get bigger and bigger.

I am afraid that after recovering Yanyun, after the role of the sailors declines, they may be incorporated into the navy.

This made the Ruan family brothers, especially the eldest Ruan Xiaoer, feel a deep crisis.

He thought about it again and again during this time, and finally decided that he could no longer continue to nest in a small pool of water, or he should go out so that he would not be eliminated.

Otherwise, in the future, if you let Li Jun and Zhang Heng, these old subordinates, climb on your head, let Ruan Xiaoer put her face somewhere.

Even if the marshal doesn't come today, Ruan Xiaoer is ready to call someone to help write the report and apply.

Shi Jin was a little surprised when he heard that Ruan Xiaoer actually took the initiative to ask to go to the navy, but he was more relieved.

In fact, Shi Jin was a little dissatisfied with the Ruan brothers' lack of progress.

However, the three brothers are all old men from Liangshan, and they were personally invited to go up the mountain that day, plus their past credits, Shi Jin is not easy to scold them.

It can only reduce their appointments and reduce the resources of water suppliers.

Now hearing that Ruan Xiaoer has finally made progress, Shi Jin is very happy.

Because of the competition for status and resources, Li Jun and Zhang Heng already have natural contradictions.

But after all, they have been brothers for many years, and their relationship is still not bad.

It's not that Shi Jin doesn't believe them, but the navy is all managed by the two of them, and the potential risks are very high.

That's why he suppressed the water master openly and secretly, and gave Zhang Heng, Tong Wei, and Tong Meng military merits, just to put pressure on the Ruan brothers.

Now that they have finally recognized the current situation, Shi Jin can arrange for them to go to the navy. In this way, the navy can be balanced like the previous sailors, which is more conducive to its own control.

What's more, after the reunification of China, Shi Jin planned to form three fleets: the East China Sea Fleet, the Southeast Asia Fleet, and the Pacific Fleet. If the Ruan family brothers continue to mess around like this, where would Shi Jin dare to give the three brothers a heavy responsibility.

Hearing Ruan Xiaoer's request, Shi Jin pretended to think about it and said, "Now Liangshan still needs a sailor to protect it, not to mention that you will need the assistance of a sailor to attack the south in the future." But now that most of us have come out, this Liangshan doesn't need so many people to protect it. In this way, you let Ruan Xiaoqi stay first, continue to command the sailors to defend Liangshan, you and Ruan Xiaowu go to Laizhou, first form a caravan, and familiarize yourself with Hainan Airlines while walking sea trade. After all, none of you have seen the sea, you don't know the sea very well, so get familiar with it for a while before forming a fleet. What do you think? ”

At first, when he heard that he needed a sailor, Ruan Xiaoer's eyes were still a little dim, and he felt that there was no hope, but the marshal changed his words and agreed to join the navy.

Ruan Xiaoer immediately shouted excitedly: "Marshal Xie, the last general will definitely train a navy that will not lose to General Li and General Zhang!" ”

Shi Jin nodded with a smile and said, "Brother Ruan's ability on the water, I believe it." Do a good job, don't lose to Li Jun and Zhang Heng. ”

Ruan Xiaoer nodded and said, "Of course, otherwise where will my Ruan Xiaoer's face be put in the future!" ”

Shi Jin arched his hand and said, "Brother Ruan, arrange the affairs of the water master as soon as possible, and then rush to Mizhou as soon as possible." I will let the god operator Jiang Jing prepare the funds for the formation of the Third Fleet of the Navy for you! ”

……

Hearing that Ruan Xiaoer took the initiative to go to the navy, Shi Jin was in trouble.

Shi Jin was very happy and decided to strike while the iron was hot and take care of another matter.

The guy at the Dongshan Hotel prepared delicious food and a pot of good Yuhu Spring.

Shi Jin personally took the food box and walked into a courtyard in the cottage without notice.

When the "master" of the mansion saw Shi coming in, his face suddenly changed, and he shouted with a gloomy face: "What are you doing here?" ”

Shi Jin said with a smile: "I thought I hadn't seen my senior brother for a while. No, I brought food and wine today! It's a pity that Brother Lin Chong is not here, otherwise our third brothers would have had a good drink! ”

The big man in front of him is Shi Wengong, who has been under house arrest by Shi Jin for nearly two years.

Shi Wengong heard it and shouted: "Who is your senior brother, if you let your master Zhou Tong know what you did today, I am afraid that I will be very annoyed by the decision to accept you as an apprentice that day!" ”

Shi Jin didn't care about Shi Wengong's attitude at all, he took care of the food in the food box and brought it out.

A plate of cold pork scalp, a plate of braised beef, and a plate of beef louvers on sake lees are all good things to go with wine!

As soon as the wine cork was opened, the smell of alcohol filled the room. As soon as Shi Wengong smelled the aroma of wine, he swallowed a mouthful of water uncontrollably.

But he quickly regained his serious countenance, and did not glance at the food on the table.

Shi Jin poured two glasses of wine by himself, and presented one to Shi Wengong.

Shi Wengong clasped his hands and didn't mean to answer at all.

Shi Jin didn't care, put the wine glass on the table in front of him, picked up his glass, and drank to himself.

After drinking a glass, Shi Jin held his mouth and said, "Good wine!" ”

Then, Shi Jin raised his head and said with a smile on his face: "Senior brother, a few days ago, I have already sent someone to negotiate peace with the imperial court!" ”

When Shi Wengong heard this, his face, which had been straight, was taken aback, and he turned his head to look at Shi Jin in some surprise.

Although he was placed under house arrest by Shi Jin, in addition to not being able to leave Shuibo, Shi Wengong's other actions were not restricted.

Even Shi Jin, in order to make Shi Wengong obedient, often asked the soldiers who were guarding him to tell Shi Wengong about the recent events in the Great Song Dynasty.

Shi Wengong also has some understanding of the current situation of the Great Song Dynasty, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is an internal and external trouble, and the situation is very serious.

Unexpectedly, when the Great Song Dynasty was in a very crisis, Shi Jin unexpectedly took the initiative to ask for peace at this juncture.

Shi Wengong thought for a while, quickly reacted to Gu Lai, and said with a sneer: "Lord Shi Zhai has a good plan, it seems that he wants to take the opportunity to blackmail the Great Song Dynasty and get benefits!" ”

Shi Jin nodded and said, "What Senior Brother said is not wrong at all, it is true. I agree to the request of the peace talks, that is, to let the imperial court hand over the seven states of Dengzhou, Laizhou, Mizhou, Jeju, Yanzhou, and other Jingxi Road to me in charge! ”

Shi Wengong shouted angrily when he heard this: "Do you want to be the second Li Hu? ”

Shi Jin said disdainfully: "Li? Senior brother, you underestimate me too much. I want to be the king of Yan! ”

Shi Wengong was stunned for a moment when he heard Shi Jin say that he wanted to be the king of Yan, and said, "What do you mean by this?" ”

Shi Jin stared at Shi Wengong and said, "It's literal." I negotiated peace with the imperial court, that is, I am ready to send troops to attack the Liao State, recover the sixteen states of Yanyun, and become the king of Yan! ”

Shi Wengong was shocked when he heard it.

"What, you're going to send troops to recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun?"

Shi Jin nodded and said, "Yes, I want to send troops to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun." Is my brother interested in following me? ”

Shi Wengong asked again: "Are you really preparing to attack the Liao State and recover Yanyun?" Didn't lie to me? ”

Shi Jin said: "How can you deceive such things? If you can deceive for a while, can you still deceive your senior brother for a lifetime? ”

Shi Wengong pondered for a moment and said, "Now that you are in Shandong, how can you attack Liao." Do you want to borrow the Tao from the imperial court, or are you trying to use this name to fake the Tao and seek to seize Hebei Dao! ”

At the end, Shi Wengong stared at Shi Jin sternly.

Shi Jin picked up the chopsticks and took a quick bite of beef, took a bite, and said, "Senior brother, you taste it." This dish doesn't taste good when it's cold! ”

Seeing that Shi Jin was selling Guanzi, Shi Wengong slapped the table in annoyance and shouted, "Say, how are you going to attack Liao?" ”

Shi Jin put down his chopsticks and said with a smile: "Senior brother, I'm afraid I don't know, in the front time, I sent someone across the sea to capture Hangzhou City!" Since you can attack Hangzhou across the sea, why can't you attack Suzhou Mansion across the sea! ”

"You crossed the sea to attack Hangzhou?" Shi Wengong was very surprised that Shi Jin dared to cross Xuzhou and other places, and attacked Hangzhou City directly by sea.

But soon he was caught by Shi Jin's strategy of attacking Liao across the sea.

I don't even care why Shi Jin wants to attack Hangzhou City, or whether he has conquered Hangzhou City.

Shi Wengong tapped his fingers on the desk a few times and said, "The risk of cross-sea operations is very high. You must know that the sea is very different from the land, once defeated, there may not even be a chance to retreat, resulting in the destruction of the entire army. Are you sure you'll succeed? ”

Shi Jin said arrogantly: "I, the Nine Pattern Dragon Shi Jin, never fight uncertain battles!" ”

Shi Wengong's mouth was a little dry, he irritably picked up the glass of wine in front of him and drank it in one gulp. "There are countless people under you who are strong in martial arts, and there are countless people who are close-minded. Why do you have to recruit me? ”

"I have a lot of right-hand men, but there are not many who know how to shoot on horse, especially those who know how to train soldiers in mounted archery. In order to successfully recover Yanyun, a cavalry must be formed, and there must be cavalry who know how to ride and shoot. So I need your help! ”

When Shi Wengong heard this, he poured himself a glass of wine and said, "Why should I help you this thief?" ”

Shi Jin also poured a glass of wine and said, "Because I know that you are not an ordinary person, because I know that you have always wanted to recover Yanyun and make contributions." Because I know that you are still boiling with the blood of a warrior, and you are eager to be able to dominate the battlefield! As long as you follow me, I will give you the opportunity to lead thousands of troops across the battlefield and become famous in the world! ”

Shi Wengong heard it, and the hand holding the wine glass became stronger. For a while, he was very conflicted, what was he practicing martial arts for?

Don't you just want to drink on the battlefield and make a name for yourself!

Now that the opportunity is in front of him, Shi Wengong is moved. It's just that he also knows in his heart that the ambition of this junior brother in front of him is not small. Although it is not clear why he suddenly let the Great Song Dynasty not fight, and wanted to run to attack the Liao State.

But Shi Wengong believes that he will become the king of Yan in the future. The next step must be to plot against the Great Song Dynasty and ascend the throne as emperor.

If he agrees to him now, what should he do if he really wants to plot against the Great Song Dynasty in the future?

After years of being instilled with the idea of loyalty, Shi Wengong hesitated for a while.

Shi Jin drank all the wine in the cup and said, "I will leave tomorrow, if you agree, follow me." If you don't want to, just because I haven't said it. You continue to be here to idle clouds and wild cranes, and live with peace of mind! ”

Shi Wengong lowered his head and did not respond. Shi Jin walked out of the room carelessly, leaving Shi Wengong to think by himself.

Walking out of the room, Lu Fang and Guo Sheng, who had been standing vigilantly at the door, hurriedly followed.

Walking out of the courtyard, Guo Sheng couldn't hold back for a while and said, "Marshal, will Shi Wengong agree?" You've been holding him for so long, and you've never seen him bow his head! ”

Shi Jin looked at the sky and said, "He will agree, because no matter how long the tiger is locked in a cage, he will long to return to the mountains and forests!" ”

Shi Jin lowered his head and whispered, "Even if he doesn't agree, it doesn't matter." As long as I am here, this world must belong to me! ”

……

After resting for a day on Liangshan, it was dawn, and after everyone had eaten a full meal, they were ready to go on the road.

In the pavilion of Golden Beach, seeing Shi Wengong who arrived early in the morning, Shi Jin smiled.

Shi Wengong saw Shi Jin, stared at Shi Jin sternly and shouted: "If you dare to deceive me, no matter how far you escape to the ends of the earth, I will chase and kill to the end, and I will never die!" ”

Shi Jin patted his chest and shouted: "Don't worry, I, Shi Jin, will do what he says, and if he says that he will attack Liao, he will attack Liao." If you are asked to command thousands of troops, you will be asked to command thousands of troops! ”

Shi Wengong bowed and said, "Marshal, I, Shi Wengong, am willing to follow you across Yanyun!" ”

Shi Jin took Shi Wengong's hand and walked on the boat together. As he walked, he laughed, "Hahaha...... Our two brothers went together to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun that had been lost for a hundred years. So that the master can be proud of us! ”

Hearing Shi Jin mention the master, Shi Wengong became melancholy for a while, he looked in the direction of Tokyo, sighed and said, "Since Tokyo was goodbye, I haven't seen the master for almost ten years." I don't know how his old man is doing now? ”

Shi Jin also sighed and said, "Master, his old man is still strong, but you also know that he is loyal to the Great Song Dynasty, I heard that I became a thief, and repeatedly resisted the imperial court, he angrily scolded me for being disloyal and unjust, smashed all the wine I sent to him, and publicly said that he broke off the master-apprentice relationship with me!" But if he can negotiate peace this time, I believe his old man will also be pleased! ”

Shi Wengong shook his head and said, "Hey, I don't know when I will see him again?" ”

Shi Jin said firmly: "There will be a chance, as long as we recover Yanyun, and then invite his old man to Yanyun for a walk, I believe he will be very happy then!" ”

When Shi Wengong heard this, he immediately cheered up and said: "Yes, the old master is also very eager to recover Yanyun, as long as we can recover Yanyun, then invite his old man to Yanyun, so as to fulfill his wish!" ”

Shi Wengong looked to the north, his eyes full of longing.

He knew that his junior brother was a man with means and ambitions, and hoped that under his hands, he could fulfill his wishes!

As for whether he will plot against the Great Song Dynasty in the future, let's talk about this later!

And now the Great Song Dynasty treats them very harshly, and the current emperor is a faint monarch, favoring traitorous ministers, making the people miserable.

My junior brother has always been known for his benevolence and righteousness, and he is also well-known among the people.

Wouldn't it be better if there was a different emperor?

If Shi Jin becomes the emperor, then I will be the senior brother......

After agreeing to return to Shi Jin, Shi Wengong couldn't help but think like this.
