After the mobilization order was issued, the officers in the cabin had turned into a pack of wild beasts, and they rushed to the deck with a roar, and as soon as they got on the deck, they shouted: "Launch the assault boat, the army is ready to land"

Zhao Xing listened in the cabin, the original rumbling cannon of the fleet was dense and loud, but now it is slightly sparse, making people feel that the world is a little empty, or a little lonely, Zhao Xing smacked his lips and said regretfully: "The sound of the cannon may be much better than the sound of poetry." ”

The martial artists liked to hear this, and the staff officers in the cabin laughed, Zhao Xingyi waved his hand and ordered: "Don't be idle, everyone is busy with their own going!" ”

The generals got up to say goodbye, Zhao Xing pointed at Yuan Yeping, and shouted: "Yuan Tuiguan stays." ”

At this time, the transport ships on the sea were crisscrossed, and they unloaded countless small boats, each of which was full of soldiers, and those soldiers were dressed in fiery red clothing, and on the blue sea, it seemed that blood flowers were blooming.

10,000 people landed, in this ancient time, the scene is a bit similar to the end of the Roman Lane, the sea is full of large and small assault boats, in the rumbling cannon, the officers of each ship shouted slogans in their voices, adjusted the rhythm of the soldiers' oars, next to the oarsmen, the musketeers tried their best to hold their muskets high, so as not to be wet by the waves, this scene can only be described in two words: magnificent!

"Spectacular!" Zhao Xing stood by the bright porthole of the flagship, inspected the scene of the thousand boat race with a telescope, and couldn't help blurting out. After a pause, he muttered again: "I don't know what happened when the Crusaders landed in Palestine for the first time a few years ago, but they landed 200,000 people together, and the warships of the four major navies were dispatched together......

Yuan Yeping said leisurely: "200,000 people rushed to land on the beach together, and the scene must be more than ten times bigger than this." ”

At this time, a burst of cheers drowned out Zhao Xing's words, and the first group of assault boats had washed up on the beach. Soldiers in fire uniforms held their muskets aloft and jumped into the sea, rushing as far as they could into the depths of the land. After a short pause, more boats washed up on the beach, and in the blink of an eye, the whole beach was covered with bright red flowers.

"The resistance is very weak", Genyeping leaned closer to the porthole, and couldn't help but make a note for the operation: "Our artillery has already scared those people stupidly. It could almost be said that it was just a one-sided charge to the ground. ”

It was indeed a one-sided charge, and the soldiers who rushed to the beach were slightly formed on the beach under the watchful eye of the officer, and a group of soldiers rushed towards the dock area. Their task was to occupy the dock so that the subsequent transport ships could dock at the port to unload supplies. By this time, there were no more enemy ships in the dock area that could float, and plumes of smoke remained on the surface of the sea, indicating that all resistance had collapsed.

Deep in the docks. The dock workers were scattering and fleeing. The mud houses in the dock area are under the bombardment of the huge artillery ground. Only a ruined wall remained. farther away. Thick smoke rises. The fire ignited furnaces in the scorching heat. The whole city fell silent in hysterical cries. The depths of the city are full of inhabitants running around like headless flies. Here and now. Running seems to be their only purpose in life. They don't distinguish things. Just scurrying east and west. I don't know why I'm running. I don't know how long it will take.

Aduri turned around and looked at the city. He sighed. Whispered, "The city is finished." Come on. Let's get out of this place of death as soon as possible. Don't let the bad luck of death taint us. ”

The servants brought some horses for Aduri. Aduri jumped on his horse. Urging the horses to leave the city in a hurry. Shortly after he left. The first red figures appeared in the city. They pushed forward in waves. All the way shouted in stiff Arabic: "Kneel." Hold your head in your hands. ”

Whoever does not understand them. All of them were baptized by a waterfall of muskets and projectiles. The whole city is full of blood. The bright blood red ground is like the color of the Song army's military uniform. It's heart-pounding.

This blood color has also become a nightmare for countless Seljuks for many years.

On the sea, inside the flagship. Zhao Xing saw the successful landing of the first group of attack troops. He turned around and asked Yuan Yeping slowly: "Do you know why I left you?" ”

Yuan Yeping shook his head: "The attack order has been issued to the heads of each captain, and the target is specific to each lane, I don't need to come to command it in person, Nagato Palace, if you have any instructions, please feel free to say it." ”

Zhao Xing said thoughtfully: "Are you familiar with the Yin and Yang Dao?" ”

Yuan Yeping nodded and replied: "The knowledge of Yin-Yang Dao is controlled by He Mao and Abe Er, and I happen to have some dealings with these two major valves, so I know a little bit of the inside story." ”

Zhao Xing nodded: "Then, you should know what I mean Recently, in order to curry favor with me, the hairpin family sent Cao Sheng, Zhang Yan, and Shi Cheng to send me a few copies of the art of war of the Tang Dynasty. ”

Japan's control of knowledge at this time also continued the characteristics of the Jin Dynasty. In terms of Chinese literature, that is, the way of writing, it is hereditary by the Sugawara and Oe clans; Confucianism, Ming Jingdao, and Taoism are hereditary from the Qing Yuan and the Central Plains; The Ming Dharma Daoist is Sakagami and the Central Plains; The arithmetic Tao is the Sanshan clan, and the Yin-Yang Dao is the He Mao and Abe two clans; The way of medicine is hereditary by the two clans of Waki and Tanba.

The so-called art industry has a specialization. In ancient times, the art of war said to know oneself and know the other, in which the task of "knowing the other" was undertaken by professionals, and the professionals who were responsible for completing this task, the ancients put layers of mysterious veils on them to cover up their existence, which is also the "Yin and Yang" repeatedly chanted by soldiers in the "Art of War" and the Zhuge Liang era of the Three Kingdoms. The ancients gave them a special title, called "Onmyoji", and this science was called "Onmyoji", and now it is commonly known as "Ninjutsu".

As for the "Onmyoji" in the modern sense, it has changed its flavor since the Tang Dynasty, and it has become synonymous with a god stick and a liar who specializes in pretending to be gods and ghosts. At the same time, the original and genuine "Yin and Yang Dao" has been passed down in Japan and has become the quintessence of Japan. In modern times, Japan's sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, the sneak attack on Lushunkou and other sneak attacks by the Japanese army during World War II all have footprints left by this group of spy personnel.

In the Song Dynasty, the inheritance of Chinese civilization has not been completely interrupted, and the classics left behind in ancient times have not been burned. Zhao Xing vaguely guessed the true face of Yin and Yang Dao from some notes of Tang Rendi. Although the ancients shrouded this ancient spy agency with layers of mystery, Zhao Xing combined some modern knowledge. The truth was immediately discovered.

Yuan Yeping also knew the truth, and he suddenly replied: "Nagato Hall is planning to send some people, or simply recruit some samurai who know the way of yin and yang, and set up their own shadow samurai army...... But what is the use of talking about this now, the technique of Yin-Yang Dao cannot be learned in a year or two, even if we can find ready-made people. But it is also useless for the Arabs, whose physiognomy is too far from the Arabs to blend in with the Arabs. ”

Zhao Xingyi pointed to the pier: "On the opposite side are the Seljuks, this is the people defeated by the Tang people, I want to reproduce the legacy of the Tang Dynasty in them...... We don't need to spy on other places. In this vast plain, there is a telescope, and we don't need to mix in with them, but I need an early warning team...... Or, when I get back home, I need such an intelligence team to provide me with enough information. ”

Yuan Yeping thought about it for a while, and replied: "Nagato Palace, do you want to do it now?" ”

Zhao Xing nodded: "The skills cultivated in the war are particularly trustworthy." I ask you to immediately deploy a team of people who specialize in stealth espionage methods...... Well. I seem to have acquired some knowledge of this as well, and I want you to start training now. ”

Zhao Xing called the knowledge of Yin and Yang Dao that he obtained. It's just that I've watched too many modern spy movies, and I know some special training techniques and espionage skills. But in the rumbling of the cannon, he came to Yuan Yeping one by one. Yuan Yeping really thought that this knowledge was secretly taught to Zhao Xingdi by the Song Dynasty, so he admired the vastness of Chinese civilization beyond measure, and couldn't help but praise it in a tone of five bodies: "This study is controlled by He Mao and Abe in our country, although I have a friendship with them, but they regard this knowledge as a treasure, and the treasure is very tight." I can only get an idea.

But as far as I know, what Kamo and Abe Nishi have at hand now, presumably the knowledge that the adults just introduced is simply incomparable, and I believe that they are just a little fur from the hands of the Jin people, and it is funny that they use it to show off......"

Suddenly, Genyeping woke up, and Zhao Xing now told him that the knowledge of the earth was enough for him to return to Japan, and his achievements in Yin-Yang Dao were above those of Kamo and Abe, that is, Zhao Xing gave his family a thousand-year-old glorious inheritance.

Thinking of this truth, Yuan Yeping burst into tears, he leaned over and knelt down solemnly, pointing to the sky and the earth: "Changmen Palace, my Yuan clan swears to you here, for thousands of years, forever as a retainer, Hangzhou Zhao Dan has a call, and my clan does not hesitate to go to the soup and fire." ”

Zhao Xing silently accepted Yuan Yeping's bowing, and when Yuan Yeping finished taking the oath, he walked to the window, glanced at the battle in the dock area, and replied indifferently: "I accept your oath!" Well, it seems like it's time for us to land. ”

The whole city crawled at the feet of the Song army, Zhao Xing's boots stepped on the dock area, the officers came one after another, reported the seizures, more than 10,000 prisoners, as the saying goes, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, although the port has been decaying for many years, but the wealth collected by the dock merchants' families still makes the officers satisfied.

"Captain, our capture is enough to pay for the war, three times, I count, we can have three more such expeditions, and the military expenses are enough." The officer excitedly introduced.

At this time, the soldiers who landed in advance were escorting the prisoners and cleaning up the dock area, and the transport ships of the Song army began to dock at the berths, and with the efforts of thousands of prisoners of war, the supplies on the warships were piled up in the dock area.

"The defenders of the city have fled, and we have captured three hundred war horses, all of which are fine war horses, tall and majestic, and such war horses will be transported back to China, and each one will be sold for about 50,000 yuan.

Zhao Xing immediately turned to Yuan Yeping and ordered: "You go and pick two hundred war horses, immediately form a scout force, and conduct an armed search around." ”

When Zhao Xing said the words "scout troops", he accentuated his tone, Yuan Yeping knew what he was referring to, and he bowed down and retired. Looking at his distant back, the Song Army officers present complained dissatisfiedly: "The captain is inevitably too partial to his own family, why did this big fat piece of meat be thrown to this guy." Lord Taiwei, be merciful to your subordinates. Let me wait and share some soup and water. ”

Armed search is a big piece of fat, because Zhao Xing's regulations on seized land are extremely lenient, and he has to keep half of the property. And he took no captured slaves. Ordering Yuan Yeping to undertake the task of searching by force meant that Yuan Yeping was legally qualified to raid the land, and his scout team could openly search all the nearby villages and towns, and the captured slaves could be sold to the caravans that followed behind the Song warships. Arab slaves were the highest quality slaves, they were knowledgeable, cultured, and had a strong sense of slavery. Loyalty to the master, in terms of diligence, is not the same as those Nanyang natives.

"This is Balochistan," Zhao Xing said, pointing to the ground under his feet, and continued, "We have the Euphrates River on the west side. To the east is the Indus River, the starting point and source of Asian civilization. 6,000 years ago, it was already the world's glass manufacturing center, and 5,700 years ago, the world's first iron tools were known here, bringing the world's iron civilization to the world. Now, we, the Song people, have set foot on this land and brought gunpowder civilization to this land. Ladies and gentlemen, the accumulation of 5,700 years of wealth. Are you too little? There are countless treasures and countless knowledge, and I advise you to leave a civilization for yourselves. In today's world, when it comes to medicine and mathematics. This place reigns supreme. The slaves here had more or less one or two skills to make a living, such as weaving. Medical skills, iron-making techniques, weaving techniques. Organize them. Wouldn't it be beautiful to go back home and build one or two factories and ready-made skilled craftsmen, who can produce original food products, and now produce and sell them in the territory of the Song Kingdom! ”

Zhao Xing's words made the officers' eyes light up, he didn't know, because of his words, the direction of the Song army's plundering changed, the target they chose was the inexhaustible talent and knowledge here, a large number of Seljuks did not attach importance to learning and skilled doctors and craftsmen were looted to the territory of the Song State, although under the "Heavenly Sacred Order", most of them were released after ten years of service, but many of them did not return to their ruined hometown, and chose to continue to take root in the Song State.

Because of Zhao Xing's proposition, the scientific and technological creativity of the Lianghe civilization suffered the greatest destruction, and countless literati in the Lianghe River Valley were tied to the Song Kingdom by a rope, and the knowledge they learned in more than ten years was forced to redeem their freedom, and the knowledge they brought also greatly impacted the existing knowledge structure of the Song Dynasty. Later historians commented: After Zhao Xing, the Great Song Dynasty, its glory and brilliance were built on the corpses and blood of the two river basins......

In the following days, the Song army took into account the prisoners of war in the port area to build the wharf day and night, under the whip of the Song army, the original poets of the city were forced to carry the stones with their pen hands, stirring the lime clay, under their efforts, a month later, a huge castle stood in the port area, at the same time, the original simple wharf also built a long wave-proof ladder, the wave-proof ladder has been deep into the sea for several miles, it provides hundreds of berths for ships, the Song army's warships docked on the berth, showing a huge throughput capacity, Like ants moving, they moved all the Arabic things in the city back to China little by little, and unloaded countless Song-style furniture and household items from the ship, and when the castle was built, it had become a complete Song city.

At this time, the Song merchants who returned to China in the early stage have returned, they brought a large amount of food and war materials, relying on the war capture, Zhao Xing generously paid the cost of this batch of materials, as a result, because of this batch of wars also gave birth to a group of special merchants, later generations of people called it "warmongers", they depended on the army to live, purchased the army's seizures, and sold supplies to the army, both sides of the hand to obtain huge profits. War is their only means of profit, so their greedy eyes are always looking for the next target, and they do everything possible to encourage their armies to go to war in order to profit themselves......

The newly arrived fleet also brought news from the Song Kingdom, at this time, Zeng Bu had already left his post, but Han Zhongyan did not fall well, and soon became the local governor. At the same time, Zhang Shangying returned to the central court and became the ruling minister of the left and right servants together with Su Zhe.

The Song State also did not know much about the situation overseas, they did not have a distant concept, and felt that the first batch of merchant ships with the army could rush back to China after a month, it seemed that the place where Zhao Xing went was similar to the Three Buddhas, and it may even be closer than the Three Buddhas, so Zhao Xing's tour of the South Seas did not cause a big shock in the court, the little emperor was busy building his own garden, and the ministers of the court and the central government were busy with party disputes. Cai Jing was busy squeezing out others, and at this time, everyone didn't want this No. 1 warlord of the Great Song Dynasty to come forward to stir up the situation. He's not in sight, better.

Su Zhe held the ruling power, it cannot but be said that the newly established Shu Party showed its huge strength, because it is now renamed the Jiangxi School of the new Shu Party enveloped Guan Xue, Luo Xue, and the founders of the Jiangxi School are some of the ministers who have been degraded, these people regained power. The disciples are all over the world, and they naturally do not want this school to lose power again, so for this reason, they have gathered a wide range of forces, especially in the local areas. Because of the banner of Zhao Xing, they are so powerful that even Cai Jing and Zhang Shangying, a group of New Party members, have to curry favor with them.

The domestic situation seems to be worrying about Zhao Xing for the time being, Zhao Xing finished reading the information at hand and asked Yuan Yeping: "How many war horses have you found?" ”

Yuan Yeping replied: "We have recently collected three thousand war horses, of which they are excellent, about a thousand, and the number is a little less, but this ghost place." It hasn't rained a drop since we arrived, and I'm afraid there will be too many horses. On the contrary, it makes us unable to move. ”

Zhao Xing nodded and beckoned an officer over. Ask: "Are the soldiers I asked you to draw on horseback ready?" ”

The officer replied, "There are already more than 600 of them!" ”

Zhao Xing ordered: "Pick five hundred people, each with two horses." Equipped with 3,000 slave soldiers, a new army was formed. This army is called the Dragoons. Those slave soldiers in the army are equipped with cold weapons, and I will give you three days to organize the army at once, and our army will be mobilized. ”

Yuan Yeping hurriedly added: "The two supply points Lu Fuha mentioned by the Lord are one hundred and twenty miles north of the city, the wells there are enough for us to drink, and Hadurshu is three hundred miles away, if the advance force is only five hundred, I am sure to take Hadurshu directly." ”

"My goal is not Hadurshu" Zhao Xing looked to the west and added leisurely: "The goal is Baghdad!" After we took Hadurshu in the early stage, the follow-up troops were stationed in Rufuha and Hadurshu, collecting war horses everywhere, recruiting volunteers, and rolling forward to the west. ”

Zhao Xing didn't know what the names of Rufuha and Hadurshu were in modern times, he was currently on the west side of the Indus Valley, and the port he occupied was about the location of modern Karachi, Zhao Xing probably knew that the land under his feet was the modern Iranian plateau, to the north, Afghanistan and the majestic Hindu Kush Pamir, and to the west went down the Iranian high principle into Iraq, and now, the land on both wings belonged to the Eastern Seljuk Empire.

It is not a problem for Arabian horses to run for one or two hundred kilometers in a row, five hundred people and two horses, carrying a few short guns, and its striking ability is not something that a scimitar can compete with, Zhao Xing is not worried about the success or failure of this trip, but the merchants in the city heard the news of the army marching out of the ground, but they came together to dissuade it. They publicly recommended an elder to see Zhao Xing, and after the elder first made a gesture to Zhao Xing, he worriedly persuaded: "My lord, we have only built a small city in the port now, and we don't know what army is nearby. ”

Zhao Xing smiled calmly: "The new-style castle we built, there are many small cannons on the wall, I think such a fortress, two hundred people to guard it is enough, and there is no fleet to compete with us on the sea nearby, as long as our warships are there, our local supplies will not be lacking, if Baloch sends a large army, I just return to the army to eat it......"

Na Gang sighed softly: "Lord Taiwei is too careless, and he will open up without touching the situation here at all...... We've found someone for you who is familiar with the local situation, would you like to meet him......

The Song merchants found a prisoner of war, a prisoner of war in his sixties, with a long beard, slender and well-proportioned hands, a cleanly combed beard, and white skin, apparently unexposed to the wind and sun.

Zhao Xing's gaze turned on the other party's hand, then turned to his face, and then nodded with satisfaction, and asked, "Say your name!" ”

The man, though he was old, still spoke crisply and neatly, and he immediately replied, "Lord Marshal, what is the meaning of my name now?" I'm just a captive of yours now. ”

Zhao Xing's gaze paused on the other party's hand and asked, "What is your specialty?" ”

"Geometry, equations, but what's the use of these, the hand holding the pen is not as strong as the hand holding the knife, so I'm your captive."

"It turned out to be a mathematician", Zhao Xingxing got out of his seat and beckoned to the soldiers: "Move a seat, knowledge, no matter how much you respect it, I respect knowledge, and Da Song has also come to this point today because of respect for learning." ”

The reason why this mathematician was afraid of being famous in the past, and the reason why he is reluctant to give his name now is probably because he is ashamed, ashamed of his captive status, and does not want to give his real name. Zhao Xing invited him to sit down, but this person sat down unceremoniously, and looked up at Zhao Xing, without the obscenity of being inferior at all.

"What should I call you? We should always have a title when we talk......" Zhao Xing touched his chin and said thoughtfully: "Why don't I call you Sinbad, I like this name very much, and I also like the story of Sinbad's voyage in "One Thousand and One Nights". ”

The old man bowed down and replied: "Thank you for the name given by Your Excellency Marshal, I will be called Sinbad from now on." ”

After a pause, Sinbad asked with a pleading look: "Your Excellency, Marshal, I have been promised that if I tell you the truth about the situation of the Luch, you will return my granddaughter to me, may I ask, can you fulfill this promise?" ”

"Your granddaughter ......" Zhao Xing looked at Gang with a deep sigh, and Gang smiled awkwardly: "This old man's granddaughter can sing and dance, and she is a skilled doctor, she was screened into the medical camp, so she has not been sent back to China." ”

After a pause, Tsunade added with a little embarrassment: "This old ...... Sinbad, because his granddaughter has this ability to stay, a few days ago, his granddaughter was singing in the camp, Lord Chen Buqun happened to pass by, so he took his granddaughter to the boat, Sinbad knew about it, tried to break into the camp and was detained, because he had been recorded on the sales list, his master took it back, ready to punish him, as a result, he said that he knew the local situation, who helped him save his granddaughter, he told the truth. ”

Zhao Xingyigang's Song language, the old Sinbad's Arabic language, was interpreted by Pu Yi'an's people. But this old man is obviously also a master of language, and when Gang was talking on the side, his eyes flashed, and he seemed to have understood the general meaning of Gang, and he bowed his hand to Zhao Xing again and again.

Zhao Xing pondered for a moment and asked rhetorically: "Tell me your identity, I want to know if you are trustworthy." ”

At this time, thirty miles away from the Song Army's castle, a scout team was preparing to return to the city, and the team leader wet his head with a sheepskin water bag, and then shook his head and muttered: "This ghost weather!" ”

Erasing the drops of water in front of him, the scout team leader shouted, "Let's go, it's time for us to go back to the city." ”

A scout stared to the north, hesitated for a moment, and shouted: "Smoke and dust, that should be the smoke and dust kicked by the movement of the cavalry, the speed is very fast, my lord, the number should be a thousand cavalry." ”

The leader of the scout squad muttered in a low voice: "A cavalry of a thousand people, where will there be a caravan of a thousand people in this place"

In an instant, the scout team leader was frightened by his words, he was stunned for a moment, and immediately shouted hoarsely: "Enemy attack!" This is the main force of the enemy army that we have been looking for for a long time, and it is finally here, quickly, half of the people will return to the city to report, and the other half will hide on the spot! ”
