Dengzhou, the port that Zhao Shuo inspected, Zhao Cheng followed him to be responsible for the introduction, and Lin Feng followed behind him to be responsible for protection. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Zhao Cheng, can the 400,000 army go to sea at one time!" After observing for a while, Zhao Shuo directly asked the key point.
"Lord Wang, if it were simply our 400,000 army, it would be almost ......," Zhao Cheng said with a somewhat embarrassed face.
"If you have any difficulties, you should say it as soon as possible, don't go to the sea to find trouble for me." Zhao Shuo said sharply.
"Lord Wang, that's the case, the army of Western Xia is being transported at the moment, if those ships return to the port, the movement of 400,000 is nothing, but if those ships can't return to the port, this, it will be difficult to transport 400,000 troops to the sea." Zhao Cheng replied with a wry smile.
After Zhao Cheng said this, Zhao Shuo remembered the matter of Xixia's borrowing. The 100,000 army of Western Xia borrowed the road, and it seems that at this time, Zhao Cheng really helped transport these soldiers.
"How long will it take for the ship to return to port!" Zhao Shuo asked.
"This, it's hard to say." Zhao Cheng's face became more and more ugly. "This Li Yuanhao has a good relationship with the prince, so, I see, he doesn't plan to return these ships."
"What?" Zhao Shuo was not calm this time. "He dares, if he doesn't return the ship, I will detain him and all Xia Jun in Haizhou Port, so that he will never think of it."
Facing Zhao Shuo's angry words, Zhao Cheng said helplessly. "Lord Wang, even if we can do it, will you really do it?"
Zhao Shuo was speechless. The relationship between Zhao Shuo and Western Xia is already an iron alliance, although it will not take too much trouble to annex Western Xia, but some things, Zhao Shuo thinks, still have to pay attention to.
Li Yuanhao has a good relationship with him, and if he doesn't have to do it as a last resort, he won't make a move on Li Yuanhao. But if Li Yuanhao really detains the ship, this matter will really be a last resort.
Zhao Shuo frowned. "300,000 troops uploaded, 100,000 troops, from the land to Haizhou ......"
"Lord Wang, the speed on the sea is much faster than on the road, if this is arranged, after we arrive in Haizhou, we will wait for the army on the road, then we will have a lot of delay." Zhao Chengdao.
Glancing at the ironclad ship that had been built but could not be driven, Zhao Shuo gritted his teeth. "When I come back this time, I must make this big guy move."
"Lord Wang, I think, are we transferring some ships from Liaodi!" At this time, Lin Feng gave a new suggestion.
"Are there any ships in Liaodi?" Zhao Shuo looked at Zhao Cheng.
"Yes, there is, but their ships are too dilapidated, and compared to ours, they are not a little worse......" After a pause, Zhao Cheng sighed. I can't afford it! ā
"If you don't like it, you can give it to Li Yuanhao. Didn't he ask for a boat! I'll give him some, what else can he say! Zhao Shuo said.
"But those ships ......" Zhao Cheng opened his mouth and did not continue. In his eyes, the ships of Liaodi were like rags.
"Li Yuanhao needs a boat now, he is like a person who asks for food, since he is asking for food, then he will not dislike the cold rice." Zhao Shuo chuckled, and then said to Lin Feng. "Lin Feng, send a few people to Liaodi, and tell Wanyan Wu to buy a boat, I need a boat, let him gather some ships and transport them to Haizhou."
"Yes!" Lin Feng bowed and retreated.
"According to what I said, the 300,000 army will be uploaded, and the remaining 100,000 troops will be taken by land, we can't afford to delay, we must set off immediately." Zhao Shuo gave the final order.
Zhao Shuo's words had already been said here, and although Zhao Cheng's heart was full of worry, he didn't dare to say anything more.
"Lord Wang, that Zhao Ziyan is here again." After Lin Feng, who had finished passing the order, came back, he brought back such a message.
"Zhao Ziyan?" Zhao Shuo sighed. "This guy is really haunted!"
"Then do you want to have someone send him away?" Lin Feng said.
"Don't, how can I say it, his identity is also an envoy of the Great Song Dynasty, let him come over, I want to see what he wants to do this time." Zhao Shuo said.
Lin Feng retreated and quickly brought Zhao Ziyan over.
"Meet the prince!" This time, Zhao Ziyan was quite polite, and began to salute from a distance.
"Okay, Brother Zhao, just say what you want, between you and me, it doesn't have to be like this." Zhao Shuo raised his hand, and his tone was quite polite.
"Lord Wang, that's what it is......" Zhao Ziyan took out the contract. Your Majesty asked me to hand over this contract to the prince, after all, it was signed by both parties, one for each party, which is the ancient etiquette. ā
Zhao Shuo motioned for Lin Feng to take the contract, and then said to Zhao Zi. "Brother Ziyan, your mission has been completed, if there is nothing else, go back!"
Zhao Shuo can be regarded as an eviction order, but Zhao Ziyan obviously won't leave like this.
"Lord Wang, according to His Majesty's intentions, it is to let the Lord take me a section and make your ship return to the Great Song Dynasty, and then the two sides will join forces and go to sea together." Zhao Ziwei said with a smile.
"Lord Wang, no, the ship is the secret of our army, if he is allowed to board the ship, along the way, the structure of our army's ship will inevitably be remembered by him, so that our army will ......"
Zhao Cheng spoke directly, rejected Zhao Ziyan's reason for wanting to board the ship, and gave his own reasons, but before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhao Shuo raising his hand.
Zhao Shuo looked at Zhao Ziyan. "Brother Ziyan, you just said that my uncle asked you to do this?"
Zhao Ziwei nodded. He chose to confess to Zhao Shuo in such a way.
"Since my uncle let me, then you can board the ship with you!" After finishing speaking, ignoring everyone, Zhao Shuo walked towards the port.
Lin Feng selected 100,000 Qingzhuang soldiers and asked them to go to Haizhou by land to wait, while the remaining 300,000 troops boarded the ship in batches.
Due to the large number of people, it took five days and five nights for all the officers and men to board the ship.
The army left the port of Dengzhou and sailed towards the vast sea.
As soon as he left the port, Zhao Cheng planned to head south along the coastline.
"Zhao Cheng, leave the soldiers and horses of the two ships, and hand over the rest to Zhu Tian, let him command the south, and we will go to another place." Zhao Shuo grabbed Zhao Cheng and gave an order.
No one knows what Zhao Shuo is going to do, but Zhao Shuo's words are orders, and everyone must listen to them.
Zhu Tian led a huge fleet to the south, leaving the officers and men of the two ships, plus Zhao Shuo's flagship, and the three ships sailed all the way to the east.
After most of the day, the crew discovered an island.
"Leave five hundred officers and soldiers, and a ship will guard here!" Zhao Shuo gave the order again.
"Lord Wang, although this island is not small, it is quite desolate, what use do we want it for!" I have known that there is an island here, but I have never looked at Zhao Cheng, who has never looked at it, opened his mouth with a blindfolded face. In his opinion, everything Zhao Shuo did was wasting soldiers.
Zhao Shuo didn't explain, but just gave Zhao Cheng a four-word evaluation lightly. "Rat-eyed."
