Chapter 154: Temptation
"Is there anything else to do, Lord Zhang?"
Zhao Tianyou stopped and watched the other officials leave, leaving only him and Zhang Zhensun.
Zhang Zhensun hesitated for a moment, and then said with relief: "General Zhao, dare to ask, what will be the tomorrow and future of Hong Kong Island, has the general ever planned?" ”
"Well, there are plans naturally, all for the sake of the brothers under him to be fed and clothed, and to live a prosperous and peaceful life!"
"Can the military and civilians in Guangzhou be incorporated into Hong Kong Island?"
"This ......"
Zhao Tianyou was actually not too surprised, when Zhang Zhensun executed Jiang Maotong and Qian Kang, it meant that he had a grudge with Zhang Shijie, and his future in the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty was basically ruined, but it also made Zhao Tianyou see his position.
In fact, Zhao Tianyou has not been involved in Guangzhou recently, just to see Zhang Zhensun's choice, there are many ways to go, but you must not influence or force others, give others time and opportunity to make the most real choice.
"You must know that the strength of Hong Kong Island is still very weak, and it is just a small sapling, and it cannot shelter more people from the wind and rain. You also have to be prepared to bear the blow, Zhang Shijie or the imperial court may send troops to recruit, and your officials may mutini and overthrow you, maybe it will be an abyss that you will never be able to come out of! There are still so many soldiers and civilians, whether they are loyal to you personally or to the imperial court, I am afraid that there are some difficult problems, and I am afraid that you have not yet solved them. ”
After Zhao Tianyou finished speaking, he sat down and faced Zhang Zhensun with a smile.
"Indeed, I don't know if these officials, as well as the military and civilian people, are loyal to my Zhang Zhensun or have their hearts set on the imperial court. But one thing I can see clearly, if you want to continue to survive, or even live a better and more stable life, the people of Guangzhou City and even the surrounding areas cannot do without Hong Kong Island.
Ninety percent of the Great Song Dynasty has fallen into the hands of the enemy, how can these few lonely cities be turned over? Zhang Shijie led the army to hide in the east XC and began to flee from Lin'an, and fled until today, counting on them, is there still tomorrow in the Great Song Dynasty? ”
Zhang Zhensun sneered twice, stood up, took two steps in front of the table, and said: "When Guangzhou fell for the first time, I had been dismissed from office and left at home for a long time.
Lu Xiufu Lu always remembered that Zhang was not an idler, and he repeatedly recommended Zhang to be reinstated, but he was blocked, and this time when there was no one available, he thought of using a high-ranking official Houlu to use Zhang. I was ordered to be in danger regardless of my previous suspicions, advanced in the face of difficulties, reorganized the team, appeased the people, led the Song army to fight fiercely with the Yuan soldiers, and recovered Guangzhou in one fell swoop, but what happened to me?
The Kipchak minister brought the assassins to Guangzhou, and he had already made a careful plan to seize the military power of Guangzhou and occupy the Hongyi cannon, and then kill me and replace me, am I a pawn who can be abandoned at any time?
Zhang Zhensun has never been afraid of death, and he has been ready to fight with the Yuan soldiers from the first day, but I am ashamed of the villagers and the people when he dies at the hands of villains and traitors, and I can't face the ancestors and ancestors under the Yellow Spring. ”
Two lines of tears fell from his eyes, Zhang Zhensun did not wipe them, and continued: "Since the time I went to the island, Zhang has known that the future of Wanli Huaxia is here, and if the Great Song Dynasty wants to rise, it is inseparable from General Zhao and Hong Kong Island. ”
"Lord Zhang, you keep these ideas first, the most important thing at the moment is that Li Heng's army is coming to attack, and Zhang Hongfan's warship is missing, and after these crises are over, we will talk deeper!
"General Zhao, I've been holding back these words for a few days, and I can vomit it as fast as I can today, and my heart is really much more comfortable!"
The fleet led by Zhang Shijie set sail slowly and leisurely, sailing towards Guangzhou along the offshore channel. The pioneer general He Yongfei led fifty Hutou clippers, loaded with 10,000 elites of the forbidden army, and galloped forward at the fastest speed, wanting to be the first warship to reach Guangzhou.
Jiang Maotong and Qian Kang were killed in failure, and he didn't mention his vigilance at all, thinking that these two people should be too incompetent, and the forbidden army under his command sneaked back a few reports, and naturally no one spoke to the dead people in the words, and they all thought that Jiang Maotong might really collaborate with the enemy and betray the country.
The clearest person here is Zhang Shijie, Qian Kang's forged holy decree jade seal is all from his secret acquiescence, otherwise he would not dare to lend Qian Kang eight guts and forge the holy decree.
It can be written clearly in "Song Criminal Unity", forging and altering the holy decree and the jade seal, which is a big crime of copying the family and even the nine clans, why didn't Qian Kang care about it at all? His self-confidence comes from the reality of the Song Dynasty, the young emperor is young and ignorant and just a monarch in name, and the actual power of the court is gathering more and more in the hands of Zhang Shijie.
At this time, the holy decree was almost Zhang Shijie's order, and it was the emperor's will to stamp the big seal, and Qian Kang naturally had no fear in his heart when he saw it too much. And his boss Zhang Shijie has changed his mentality over the past year or so, and the holy decree has become insignificant and indifferent to him.
Therefore, this time, Zhang Zhensun lit the sky lantern on the minister of the Qin Mission in the name of forging the holy decree and collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, which was not wrong in terms of the law, but for Zhang Shijie, it was tantamount to a loud slap in the face.
On this day, He Yongfei's warship was speeding through the wind and waves on the sea, the weather was sunny and cloudless, and the sight was excellent. He Yongfei sailed for a day without incident, he was bored, there must be someone in front of him, and he suddenly became excited, and immediately ordered to go into the water to save people.
After a while, a dying fisherman was salvaged, and after waking up, he lost his breath after saying a few words, but these words scared He Yongfei.
Gaozhou had been attacked by the Yuan soldiers for several days, and the Mongol cavalry brigade had gone deep into the sea near Wuchuan. The boats of the fishing village in the port were burned, and the whole village was killed, and the fisherman jumped into the sea to survive, and was washed into the deep sea, where he was dying of cold, hunger, and cold.
He Yongfei gasped, the Yuan soldiers had already hit the Wuchuan beach, so Maoming was already very dangerous, and it might be a little unsafe to go to Yangjiang to make up for it. If the situation continues like this, there will be no safe port for berthing along the entire GD coast, so is there still a chance to go to Guangzhou?
He Yongfei thought about it for a while, and immediately ordered the ship to leave the offshore sea and sail into the deep sea to avoid being discovered by the Yuan army who might occupy the port. His fifty fast boats were full of soldiers, and the amount of food supplies was insufficient, so he didn't dare to go to Yangjiang to add a few more to make up for it, and the food on the ship suddenly became nervous.
"Three meals become two meals, save some rations, anyway, we go straight to Guangzhou, and there is no war on the way!"
