Winter goes to spring, it is one year old, the winter in the south of the Yangtze River goes fast, the spring comes early, a trance is the embankment willows are beginning to appear green, the Jiangnan plumbing duck prophet. At this time, it was February of the fourth year of Xuanhe.

The destruction of the city by the war was powerful, but the innate diligence of the Chinese people restored the ancient city of Hangzhou to life in less than a year, and the city has lost the traces left by the old soldiers.

The main hall of the Hangzhou naval camp is hung in the hall, the sea chart not only draws the territory and topography of the East China Sea coast of the Great Song Dynasty, together with many islands in the sea are also drawn clearly, the most eye-catching is not the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, but is located below the sea chart, there is a chain of islands like a crescent moon, which is Luzon, Malay, Johor, Jinzhou and a series of islands and peninsulas.

Standing in the lobby, Lotte's eyes were firmly fixed on the strait between Johor and Jinzhou, and his face was always solemn.

This section of the strait is the famous Strait of Malacca, and in this strait was born a booger country, although the people in this country are bleeding in China, but they are doing disgusting things for the Chinese people all day long, and they have to let Lotte think about a question, summoning the centripetal force of the Chinese people.

Chen Hoop's eyes also fell on the island chain, and said with a smile: "Hou Ye is easy to arrange, if he takes this sea area, Hou Ye will take the traffic arteries from Zidashi and Tianzhu to my Great Song Dynasty, Dongying, and Goryeo, and choke his throat, that is, Hou Ye does not do business and does not open mines, and he can also be rich by setting up cards to collect road money every year!" ”

"In the past, we all focused on the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, but I didn't expect that there would be a vast world outside the Great Song Dynasty, and it could be used as a thing!" General Lu also stared at the narrow strait seriously, "The sea road here is really a place where soldiers must fight, looking at the world, there is no place that can be called a throat here." ”

"Easier said than done!" Lotte shook his head: "The indigenous people of Luzon Island are still in a primitive tribal state, they don't have their own Ming and characters, and they have not been civilized, but it is better to say that Johor and Jinzhou have had the concept of a country since the Wei and Jin dynasties, although they occupy very little land, but they already have their own power, and if we build a port here and set up a stronghold, we will inevitably have a conflict with it." ”

Chen Hoop said with a smile: "Hou Ye is inevitably a little worried, according to the barbarians who came and went to Jia Yun, although these barbarians established a country, their country is at best equivalent to a larger town in my Great Song Dynasty, and it is very weak and not to be feared, Hou Ye only needs to send troops to attack and take it!" ”

Lotte shook his head: "What we can use is not the imperial court officials, our own old book is a little less!" ”

After thinking for a moment, General Lu said: "There is a Buddhist Sri Buddha in Jinzhou, and there is a new Colori country that controls the strait. ”

"That's a good idea!" Without waiting for Lotte to speak, Chen hoop bucket shouted: "The show of reading is the show talent, and I am strong in the ability of yin tricks!" ”

Lu Jiang smiled.

"Master Hou, Lu is willing to lead 10,000 brothers to take down that new and new country." At this time, Lu Shinang, who was accompanying him, said, and was very annoyed: "What kind of bullshit names are these slaves called, and they are tongue-twisters." ”

Several people laughed again, and after the laughter fell, Lotte said: "This discussion is very good, but it's not in a hurry!" ”

Although the idea is good, but obviously now is not the time to do it, the sailors and guards originally recruited by the hand, plus the rebel army that came with the return of Lu Shisang, although there are nearly 30,000 people in Lotte's hand, and the assembly can really destroy the new Kolori country that occupies the Strait of Malacca, but the consumption is not something that Lotte can afford, and although Lu Shisang's department is submissive, the people's hearts are not completely stable.

Huang Kanjian hurriedly walked in from the outside and said to Lotte Yu: "Master Hou, it is reported that Tong Guan only left a few remnants of the Western Army to encircle and suppress the bandits, and the rest of the men and horses have returned to the DPRK!" ”

Hearing the report, Lotte narrowed his eyes: "After going back, take a little rest, are you going to attack Liao?" ”

According to the original course of history, the Northern Song Dynasty began to count down to its own death.

Huang Kanzhen replied: "Hou Ye, the Son of Heaven formed an alliance with the Jin people in the previous year, and then the previous year Fang La started an incident, the Son of Heaven transferred the army to the southeast to encircle and suppress Fang La, until the beginning of this year, the remnants of Fang La have not been eliminated, the Jin people do not see our dynasty according to the covenant to attack Liao, this year's special envoy came to me to interrogate, and the Son of Heaven was not in the southeast under the peace, ordered Tong Guan to lead the troops back to Beijing, and after a little repair, cut Liao! ”

Tu Si next to him hurriedly said: "The Son of Heaven ordered Tong Guan to return to Beijing and cut Liao later, then the Hou Ye is afraid that he will not stay long in these two Zhejiang!" ”

"It's been more than a year since Master Hou went out of Zhejiang this time, it's time to go back to Biandu!" Shakuchi, who was waiting beside him, also said.

"The chaos in Liangzhejiang has not subsided, and the official family is going to cut down Liao, aren't you afraid that Jiangnan will rise again?" Lu Jiang said angrily.

Tu Si whispered to Lotte and said: "Hou Ye, last year, you issued an edict in the name of the Son of Heaven, and dismissed the Ying Feng Bureau and Huashi Gang of Suzhou and Hangzhou, and the Son of Heaven was very unhappy, so when the court was employing people, even if Wang Hao, Liang Shicheng and others were slandering with the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven did not blame the Hou Ye, but after the square La, he did not reward the Hou Ye and explained the problem, so you should be careful when you return to Beijing Hou Ye this time." ”

After listening to Tu Si's words, everyone nodded, showing that what Tu Si said was reasonable.

"Master Hou, I heard a piece of news from my humble position!" At this time, Huang Kanjian continued.

"Say!" Lotte nodded.

Huang Kanjian continued: "Hou Ye, there were rumors in the May Palace of the Year Leap Year, the Son of Heaven saw that the rebellion of Fang La was peaceful, and wanted ......to restore the Ying Feng Bureau and Hua Shi Gang, but was dissuaded by Li Gang Li, Chen Lingyuan Chen and other adults, and it was not implemented. "

"The kingdom is about to die, and there will be demons!" Before Huang Kanzhen finished speaking, Lu Shisang became angry.

"Brother Chen said carefully, if you get into trouble, don't even enter the method, Master Hou!"

Lu Shisang didn't like Song, so naturally he didn't have anything to hide when he spoke. After speaking, he realized that he had lost his words, and hurriedly said: "Master Hou, please forgive me for being rude at the end." ”

"Pay more attention to your words and deeds, Ben Hou plans to send you and a group of generals to the army to sharpen in the future, you don't want to lose your proportion!" Lotte nodded, looked at Huang Kanjian, and gestured, "Go on." ”

In response, Huang Kanjian continued: "At the instigation of Wang Hao, the Son of Heaven has issued an edict this spring, and the Ying Feng Bureau and the Huashi Gang will be restored this year, and Wang Hao and Liang Shicheng will be in charge of their affairs, and Zhu Mian's father and son, who were dismissed at home, will be reinstated, or the edict will be transmitted to Liangzhejiang in a few days. ”

"Isn't the Son of Heaven afraid that the world is not chaotic enough?" Lotte's eyes narrowed.

"Master Hou, according to the news from the army, even when Lian Tongguan heard the news, he couldn't help shaking his head and sighing, saying that the rice pots of the people in the southeast have not yet been stabilized, so why do you want to start Huashigang again!" Huang Kanjian also sighed.

Chen Hoop Bucket hated: "Even Tong Guan can see through things, why can't the Son of Heaven see through them?" ”

As a student, General Lu naturally knew the situation of the Biandu Dynasty: "Because there has never been a shortage of traitors in the near future of the Son of Heaven, Cai Jing, Wang Hao, Bai Shi, Liang Shicheng, etc. are all in this category!" ”

"Not only the two Zhejiang, according to the news from Biandu, due to the very high cost of quelling the southeastern rebellion, the treasury no longer has much available funds, and the original abandoned public land has been reinstated, making the people miserable, and the people in the west of Beijing, which had just been calm, are in turmoil again." Huang Kanjian then smiled bitterly.

Tu Si also sighed lightly beside him: "To say something disrespectful, the world of the Great Song Dynasty is really going to be stormy!" ”

Lotte also shook his head and suddenly asked, "How is the situation on the Jin side?" ”

"Last year, I was in the third year of Xuanhe in the Song Dynasty, the year of the Liao Tianfu Wang, the Jin people attacked Liaojing, the Jin army just sent troops, and the Liao army guards burned the grain when they heard the news, preparing to flee the people, in the first month of this year, the Jin people even Ke Liao Gaozhou, Enzhou and Hui City, and then to the city of Dading Mansion in Liaojing, the Liao defenders heard that the Jin army collapsed without a fight!" Tu Si hurriedly replied, and said again: "Master Hou, the Liao Kingdom is too far away from the Great Song Dynasty, and I can only hear the news of the first month of this year, and the rest are on the road." ”

"The Jin people are so powerful, the Liao people don't even dare to resist?" Lu Shisang was surprised.

With a long sigh, Lotte said: "Since the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the nomads of the northern grasslands have been a great disaster for my original empire, the northern climate is cold and food is scarce, everyone has to endure cold and hunger since birth, and they have to engage in fishing, hunting and farming since childhood, and the bow and horse are skillful, brave and aggressive, and the will forged is what my original farming people can match." ”

Lu Shinan was still puzzled: "Master Hou, the Liao people are also from the northern nomads, why are they vulnerable in front of the Jin people?" ”

Lotte explained: "The Jin people are vassals of the Liao people, and they are regarded as untouchables by the Liao people and are severely oppressed, and the Liao people live in even more hardship. The degree of its squeezing is not weaker than that of my Chaohua Shigang and Gongtian. Besides, Liao and my Great Song Chengping have been peaceful for a hundred years, the soldiers don't know the generals and the generals, they just want to be comfortable and rich, what combat effectiveness does such an army have at all, do you still remember the battle of Xikeng? ”

In the battle of Xikeng, the only thousands of forbidden troops in the two Zhejiang provinces were wiped out, and Cai Zun and Yan Tan, the soldiers and horses were executed, and Chen Hoop, General Lu and others naturally saw the combat effectiveness of the Song army's forbidden army, and the elite of the Western Army was not a little bit worse.

At this time, Huang Kanjian continued in a low voice beside him: "Master Hou, according to the news from the army, Tong Guan learned from the military report that the Liao people have been defeated repeatedly, and when he saw the Jin people fleeing from the wind, he is now full of ambition, and he often meets the generals in the camp, as long as the Great Song army is dispatched, the Liao people will definitely look at the wind and surrender, and Yanyou's homeland can be fully entered into the king's land!" ”

Huang Kanjian had already been under the command of Lotte, and the intelligence work was naturally in place, knowing that Tong Guan and Lotte were not compatible, he naturally had to nail a secret stake beside Tong Guan.

"It's just that he doesn't know the dangers of doing this!" Lotte snorted coldly and analyzed for the crowd: "The Son of Heaven supports the war of Liao because he has the responsibility of opening up the territory as an emperor, and it is understandable that Emperor Taizong and Taizong have not competed for the cause, besides, Yanyou's hometown is my homeland of the Great Song Dynasty, and it is more about the safety of the original, as long as there is an opportunity, I will not miss it."

But Wang Hao and the others were just vassals and patted horses, and they did not think about the wishes of the Son of Heaven at all, and even thought that if this matter was successful, they could sell their reputation and leave a name in history. ”

"What is Tong Guantu?" Lu Shisang was puzzled: "This eggless goods, isn't it an addiction to war, can give birth to chickens?" ”

Lotte almost lost his smile and said to everyone: "What is the most important thing for eunuchs? is a saint, Tong Guan has been in charge of the military for nearly 20 years, and knows that only by constantly opening the border and inviting merit can he keep his high official position. To put it bluntly, Tong Guan tied the fate of Da Song to his own interests. ”

"Master Hou, our ship is back!" At this time, a soldier trotted in all the way.
