"Go and invite Lord Wu up, be polite!" Compared with pure politicians like Zheng Qingzhi, Hong Tao prefers to come into contact with more knowledgeable intellectuals like Wu Qian. Not for anything else, just because some people talk, don't be too calculating when talking, and talking about water conservancy construction or something, it will inevitably involve natural science knowledge. I am strong in this regard, at least I understand much more poetry and songs, and I can't understand allusions or anything.

A little, the purple-robed official, accompanied by mercy, carefully stepped on the gangplank and boarded the boat, looking at the way he walked, he was a person who had not been on the boat much. This person may be about forty years old, Hong Tao now does not dare to guess the age of the person by looking at his face, and the past experience is basically invalid in the Song Dynasty. At this time, people generally look old, and they like to grow beards, and they look at those in their forties, maybe they are only in their twenties, and they may all be in their fifties, and the error is too big.

"Oh, Lord Wu, I didn't go down to greet you when we met for the first time, and I still looked at Haihan. The contemptible person has a disease, and he gets dizzy when he gets off the ship...... "Hong Tao stood on the deck early and waited, and as soon as Wu Qian showed his head, he hurriedly gave a deep salute. I don't get off the boat for safety, not for the sake of arranging music, so I should be as thoughtful as possible in etiquette, in addition to kneeling, this bow can be as deep as it can be, which can be regarded as compensation.

“…… Mr. Hong can't afford such a big gift, and Mr. and the official family are also treated politely, so it stands to reason that Mr. has to give a gift. Wu Qian has thick eyebrows and big eyes, a square face, and does not smile, from his words, Hong Tao can hear that this person seems to be a little prejudiced against himself. It's also normal that a pirate leader actually negotiated conditions with the prime minister of the current dynasty when he arrived in the Great Song Dynasty, not only did he not worship. And what else to talk on a neutral vessel. Even the emperor spared it. This was not only a contempt for Zheng Qingzhi and Emperor Lizong, but also a contempt for all the scholars of the Great Song Dynasty. It is estimated that Hong Tao's name has now spread all over the Southern Song Dynasty, and there are very few scholars who can not have opinions about him.

"Don't, don't...... I have no choice but to do it in a hurry, and I don't have any contempt for the official family and Zheng Xiang. My lord also saw that it had been three days since the fleet arrived here, and I still didn't set foot on the dock for half a step. No way, it's not that I don't want to go ashore. But I was sick, and as soon as I got ashore, I was dizzy, I couldn't eat or sleep! Wu Qian didn't want to give Hong Tao a gift, just said that, but Hong Tao still had to take two steps, pretending to be sincerely afraid to help, and by the way, he repeated his problem of not going ashore.

"Dizziness...... It's palpitations, right? I have heard from my colleagues in the DPRK and China that the reason why Mr. Hong did not go ashore was because he was afraid of becoming the second official of Yue. Today, I just want to see if the portraits of Hong Daguan and Yue Daguan are not. If it's true, I'll see you later. A certain will be greeted with a great gift. "This Lord Wu Qian Wu seems to be a bit unkind, and he speaks horizontally. Although he didn't ask Hong Tao anything directly, every sentence was a bit ridiculous.

"Hey, Lord Wu, you are asking, I really did a big thing this time, although it is not as good as Yue Daguan, but it is not far away, do you want to hear the details?" As soon as Hong Tao heard that the other party took out the words he had come out of his mouth again, he didn't plan to dodge anymore. Through the past few years of getting along with Wen Nan, he probably touched a vein in the temper of the literati of the Southern Song Dynasty, these people belong to the bricks of the thatched pit, and their temper is stinky and hard, they will look down on you even more if they just talk softly, and they must be slapped in the face! The louder and more painful the fight, the easier it is for them to be convinced, don't be polite to them, a bunch of masochists!

"Oh!! Listen to someone! Wu Qian was really fooled, stretched his face obediently, and set up a position to wait for Hong Tao Lunyuan to come. He still doesn't know Hong Tao, once his little squinted eyes smile bent, this is a precursor to something that is going to hurt people.

"Please, Lord Wu, please come and sit in my cabin, let me speak slowly......" Hong Tao is now slowly familiar with talking to the ancients, in fact, they can understand most of what they say, but they still can't help but change the emphasis when speaking, just like singing, so that they can listen more comfortably.

"I took the fleet to Liaodong this time, that is, the area of Shishikou and Jinzhou, and then went along the coastline to Zhigu Village, and all the Mongolian ports along the way were burned by me, and none were left. Originally, I wanted to burn Dengzhou and Mizhou, but I didn't expect my subordinates to snatch back dozens of trough ships in Zhigu Village, which were full of grain. I had no choice but to lead the fleet back to Mingzhou, intending to store the grain in the warehouse first, and then wait for the transshipment to bring the adult back, and he would handle it properly. It's just this warehouse...... Lord Wu also saw that he couldn't store food, so he had to repair it first, and after it was repaired, I would go and burn Dengzhou and Mizhou into a piece of white soil. How, does Lord Wu think that my trip can be compared to one percent of Yue's officials? This half of the circle is down, it can't be said that tens of thousands, at least about 5,000 Mongolian troops have been killed in Huangquan. By the way, I also caught a prince of the Mongol kings in Jinzhou City and asked me to hang him on the dock, and maybe his body is still floating in the wind. Hong Tao really didn't brag, not only didn't brag, but also said it to Shaoli, because he ran away after burning, and the army killed by naval guns couldn't count the accurate number at all, it could only be estimated.

“…… That's true! Wu Qian's reaction was the same as Wen Nan's, the beard on his chin was unlucky again, and as soon as he was excited, he used force in his hand, and then pulled a few off.

"If you don't believe me, you can go to Mingzhou City to look for it, I estimate that many ships from the north have come to Mingzhou. When I attacked those port cities, I didn't kill all the people, as long as the ships of the Mongolian sailors were not allowed to go, and I went wherever I liked. By the way, I forgot to mention that not only the Mongol army suffered heavy losses, but also the Mongol sailors in Jinzhou and Shishikou were all wiped out, and I didn't count the specific number. There is also the grain warehouse in Zhigu Village, all of which I have burned, and the grain on these tanks is moved out of those warehouses, less than one percent, and at least hundreds of thousands of stones of grain have been burned. Please rest assured, as long as I set the fire, no one will be able to snatch food out of it, and I won't be able to eat it. "Hong Tao is not afraid that Wu Qian will not believe his words, there are indeed ships that escaped from the north in the port of Mingzhou, not only Xu Liangzhi and his son, he was scaring people while burning along the way, and he released his words to burn all the ports north of Haizhou, those sea ships in the north have nowhere to hide, unless they all go into the inland river, they can only run to the port of the Southern Song Dynasty to take refuge. It is not clear to him how the intelligence work of the Southern Song Dynasty worked, but with such a big movement, Hong Tao felt that the Southern Song Dynasty court would get the news soon.

“…… In this way, it is a certain wrong gentleman, the official family and Zheng Xiang are indeed far-sighted. The transportation of grain along the river is very good, but it is not as good as Mr. Lonely to go north, there is rudeness just now, and I hope that Mr. Haihan ...... "What Hong Tao said is a ring and a ring, and it is not difficult to verify. Wu Qian lowered his head and pondered for a long time, slowly stood up, and returned the gift that Hong Tao had given him just now in a proper manner.

"Hey, hey, Lord Wu, let's have one salute for each of us, it's a two-clear...... I wonder if there is something else going on to find me? The matter of going north to harass the rear of Mongolia will not be mentioned for now, and it will not be too late to make a conclusion when the imperial court gets the news. Let a historical celebrity give him a gift, Hong Tao accepted it comfortably. This opportunity doesn't come often, it's not in vain, and it's enjoyable. Moreover, Wu Qian is older and more limited than himself, and he is not disrespectful to the elderly, so he gets along with each other on an equal footing. It's best not to put on an official stand with yourself, Lao Tzu is not an official of the Southern Song Dynasty, not even the people of the Southern Song Dynasty, so he doesn't eat this set.

“…… Trivialities also, the city shipping department reported the day before yesterday, saying that Mr.'s fleet overturned two civilian ships on the river, and they could not interfere in military affairs, so they reported to me. "Wu Qian, don't look older than Wen Nan, his official position is higher than Wen Nan, but his personality is much more cheerful than Wen Nan, and his masochistic tendencies are more serious.

"Naturally! Stop the convoy flying the flag of the transshipment envoy on the river, and treat it as an enemy! According to my rules, I should have shot them all. It is precisely because this place is the Great Song Dynasty that I am extra tolerant, and I am not willing to cause trouble to parents like Lord Wu. Of course, Hong Tao will not admit his guilt, he feels that he has been very restrained, and it is not others who suffer, but himself.

So so-and-so went back and told them what Mr. had said, and that those boatmen on the river should also be treated by someone, and so-and-so would not go on this trip to the troubled waters. Mr. Can you tell me about the things in the north, I think Mr. has less than 2,000 people, how can he single-handedly break into the tiger's den and escape with all his body? Wu Qian's reason for Hong Tao is also agreeable, although the position of boat transfer envoy was not permanent before, but now it is, it is also an official of the imperial court, or a military position, and it is blocked by people for no reason, and it is inevitable that it will be a little angry. Especially if there are dozens of boats of grain in the fleet, or trophies, this is considered a march, what is the crime of blocking the imperial army? It's not an exaggeration to shoot him on the spot. Compared with this crime, he is more curious about Hong Tao's fleet, just a few ships, can run rampant on the Northland seaside, if this dynasty can have a few more such fleets, what is there to worry about the southern invasion of Mongolia?

"Since Lord Wu asked, then I won't hide it, I have a weapon on my ship to help, the official family and Zheng Xiang have seen it with their own eyes, and now it's okay to show it to Lord Wu, Lord Wu, please come with me." Hearing Wu Qian's question, Hong Tao was happy, and compared with sitting here and answering politely, Hong Tao was more willing to show him his inventions. If the Southern Song Dynasty court can learn half of its own technology, then it will save a big deal for itself, and take the fleet to Europe, the Mediterranean, and the Americas to wreak havoc. (To be continued.) )
