"Our generation of scholars should 'establish a heart for heaven and earth, a life for the people, a continuation of learning for the saints, and peace for all generations.'" Why do you have this in mind? In response to General Lu's question, Lotte smiled.

"There is no way, Tang replaces; There is no way, and the king of martial arts will cut it down. While General Lu spoke, he raised his hand in the "History Book Chronicle": "Why should the Hou Ye stick to the etiquette and be confused by the rotten Confucianism, you might as well slowly draw it to establish an immortal foundation!" ”

Lotte laughed: "Senior Brother Lu doesn't want to learn from Mr. Chen, and let Le learn Fang La?" ”

"What does Master Hou mean?" Lu Jiang was puzzled.

Lotte said with a smile: "Capture Fang La, Fang La confessed that it was not his intention to be the emperor, but Mr. Chen instigated it!" ”

Hearing this, General Lu was taken aback, and then said with a smile: "It's just that Mr. Chen was saved by Master Hou!" ”

"Saving Mr. Chen is just a matter of pity!" Lotte said, "Le Mou didn't know that in the Shaosheng period more than 20 years ago, when Fang La was the head of the Manichaean sect, he already had the intention of acting as a Song dynasty in his heart!" ”

Fang La was captured in the hands of Lotte, there is a confession about Fang La, Lu Jiang has also seen it, although Fang La has the heart to plot the world, but he is not a tough guy, after being captured, he shirked the responsibility, and pushed many black cauldrons to his subordinate rebel generals.

Regarding Lotte's statement, General Lu disagreed, and said with a smile: "I look at the layout of the Marquis today, taking Dongying in the east, Java and Jinzhou in the south, and also taking the wealth of the four seas by merchants and soldiers, and there is no intention to win the world?" ”

"Le's take, Linjava, and Jinzhou are just for the sake of my descendants in China!" Knowing that Lu Jiang didn't believe his statement, Lotte continued: "Although my Great Song Dynasty has a lot of land and resources, it lacks resources. Taking Dongying, Java, and Jinzhou to make their land attached to our Huaxia, and the East China Sea and the South China Sea as the inner lakes of our Great Song Dynasty, and controlling Jinzhou is equivalent to our Great Song Dynasty choking the Great Food, and Tianzhu leading to the throat of the Great Song Dynasty Sea, how can its position be underestimated......

"Master Hou, no one can doubt the location of Jinzhou, but whether it is Dongying, Java, or Jinzhou, they are all thousands of miles away from my Great Song Dynasty, and their products can be used by me, but the distance to come and go is far away, and I am afraid that the gains outweigh the losses." Without waiting for Lotte to finish speaking, Lu Jiang interrupted Lotte's words, obviously still not believing Lotte's statement.

With a wave of his hand, Lotte smiled and said: "People have no long-term concerns, but they must have near-term worries." Brother Lu can't just look at the present, Le believes that in less than 20 years, the moat will become a thoroughfare, whether the Great Song Dynasty is going to Dongying, Java, or Jinzhou, but between a few days and ten months. ”

"Why did Master Hou say this?" Lu Jiang couldn't believe it, "Even if Shengsi is only more than 100 miles to Hangzhou, it will take a day and a night, and Dongying, Java, and Jinzhou are thousands of miles away from my Great Song Dynasty, how can they be reached in a few days?" ”

Lotte said with a smile: "When I return to the Great Song Dynasty this time, if Senior Brother Lu sees the steam engine developed by Le, he will know that what Le said is true or false!" ”

"Steam engine?" Lu Jiang was puzzled.

Lotte explains: "This thing does not require manpower, just use coal to light a fire, and the machine can be driven, and it can be placed in a thousand-mile ship instead of labor, and it is not enough to travel thousands of miles a day!" ”

I've never heard of such a new plaything, and General Lu was a little dazzled when he heard it,

Thousands of miles of ship, the Southern and Northern Dynasties when Zu Chongzhi invented the steamer driven by manpower, when the name of the car ship, to the Tang Dynasty for military use, the Baijiangkou naval battle this ship has been the Tang Dynasty naval army of the standard equipment, although the Song Dynasty stood after five generations, but is the mantle of the Tang Dynasty, so the navy also has vehicles and ships.

While General Lu was thinking about the steam engine, Lotte suddenly asked, "Where is the current danger of Brother Lu Xuejue's Great Song Dynasty?" ”

"When the danger is that the Son of Heaven is lazy in government, and the traitors are all over the place, this disadvantage will continue for a long time, and the Zhao family will be in danger in the world!" Hearing that Lotte suddenly changed the topic again, Lu Jiang blurted out.

Lotte shook his head: "This dynasty is heavy and light on martial arts, strong and weak branches, and the danger is not inside and out!" ”

"The danger is not inside but outside?" Lu Jiang was puzzled.

"For example, Fang La's opposite, how about having millions of teachers, and it hasn't disappeared within half a year? Since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, there have been countless civil uprisings, which one was successful, and what is the danger inside the wall? Lotte shook his head.

Listening to what Lotte said, General Lu nodded, the courage of the official army has seen it with his own eyes, but he still doesn't understand what Lotte said: "What does the Hou Ye mean by the danger?" ”

Lotte said: "This dynasty wants to join forces with Jin to attack Liao, and after the Liao is destroyed, it is the time when the crisis of my Great Song Dynasty comes." ”

"Lianjin Var Liao?" Lu Jiang was puzzled.

Lianjin and Liao are secrets of the imperial court, and ordinary officials don't know about it, so how can General Lu know.

Looking at General Lu, Lotte said: "The truth of cold lips and teeth, Senior Brother Lu won't understand, right?" ”

Lotte is in a high position, and naturally knows the secrets that his people don't know, Lu Jiang didn't dare to doubt it, but exclaimed: "Hou Ye said that after the Jin people destroy Liao, they will invade the south on a large scale?" ”

Lotte nodded.

"In the next Fang La, there are many battles with the official army, and the fierce army of our dynasty may not have the strength to fight!" After thinking about it, General Lu said, obviously not thinking that the Song army would be weaker than the Jin people.

Lotte said with a straight face: "At the beginning of my Great Song Dynasty, when the military power was at its peak, the two Xiyong expeditions to Liao were all miserable and returned, and then the alliance of the Yuan Yuan and a hundred years of harmony, and now the Jurchen military prestige has made the Liao people collapse when they hear the wind, and they have taken half of the Liao people's country, with the uncivilized brute style of the Jin people, after taking the Liao, I saw that the Great Song Dynasty was weak, how could I not covet the splendid rivers and mountains of my Great Song Dynasty?" ”

The good relationship between Song and Liao for a hundred years is based on the foundation of the two countries' equal strength, and no one can help the other. The combat effectiveness of the officers and soldiers has also been seen themselves, and the Jin people were able to beat the Liao people and flee from the wind, this strength is really terrifying, and Lu Jiangxin couldn't help but be shocked.

was taken aback by what Lotte said, but Lu Jiangxin still didn't believe it: "That Jurchen can really fight as Hou Ye said?" ”

"Le's words are unfounded, Senior Brother Lu will know by watching the changes!" Lotte said no more. Now speculating on the future, it is naturally not accurate, and it is inconvenient for Lotte to say more.

Hearing what Lotte said so much, Lu Jiang seemed to understand, "Lord Hou is accumulating wealth now, is it for the sake of the future when the Great Song Dynasty will have an accident!" ”

General Lu gave Fang La as a staff member, knowing that the war was fought with money and grain, and it could be said that it was difficult to move an inch without money and grain, and Fang La could still seize the wealth of the government and rebel at the beginning of the incident, but later, the government had no money and food, and it was a big difficulty to raise grain and grass for the army, and at that time, the young and middle-aged people in Zhejiang and Zhejiang rebelled, and there was no labor available in the field at all.

Nodding, Lotte was noncommittal, and his voice suddenly became meaningful: "If Fang Labu is undefeated and confronts the north and south of the imperial court, when my Chinese national strength is greatly damaged, the alien race will take advantage of the weakness to enter, and the court and you will not be able to defeat you, and will you be regarded as a sinner in China through the ages?" ”

Lu Jiangxin, who said in Lotte's words, immediately "chuckled", although history has no ifs, but there are too many variables. Lu Jiang understands that although Lotte Yanshi said Fang La and others, why didn't he say it to himself, he resented the Great Song Dynasty and resented the Great Song Dynasty and the groups of traitors in the Great Song Dynasty.

Resentful of this, he intended to persuade Lotte to be self-reliant, but Lotte was really as self-reliant as he advised, opposite to the officials and soldiers of the imperial court, so that foreign races could take advantage of the opportunity to invade, and make China a barbarian.

Hearing this, Lu Jiang was drenched in a cold sweat.

……

In the boundless blue sea, ten large ships lined up in a neat formation raised their sails, taking advantage of the steam flow from the north to the south.

On the horizon, a line of black appeared in the field of vision, and as time passed, the line of black became larger and larger, and even a little bit of green could be faintly seen.

"See the coast, see the coast!"

After careful identification, the sailor who stood on the mast and was in charge of the lookout shouted.

The shouts of the sailors in charge of the lookout immediately caused countless crew members to run out of the cabin, run to the bow of the ship to look south, and cheered loudly when they confirmed that it was land in the distant sky.

At first, many first-time sailors felt fresh, but after tasting the swells and storms that could make the bile vomit, they no longer felt anything new in sailing, and the only recreations for sailors were gambling and fishing.

After sailing on the sea for more than two months, after being almost crazy out of boredom, the excitement of the sailors when they saw the land can be imagined.

"Feng Cai, where is this?"

Hearing the cheers of the sailors outside, a general came to the bow of the ship to ask, and looked into the distance, his eyes were also irrepressibly excited.

The deputy general who came out with the general hurriedly asked the soldiers to unfold the chart, carefully identify it, and said excitedly: "Commander Liao, look at our location, I think the land in front of us is the north of Luzon." ”

Hearing Feng Cai's words, the general snorted: "I'm not the commander of the navy now, call me the leader!" ”

"Yes, Chief!" Feng Cai hurriedly said, and muttered in a low voice: "Hehe, it's not been a long time, it's familiar!" ”

This surnamed Liao was called the leader, it was Liao Shixian, who was the deputy commander of the Hangzhou Navy when Lotte was the magistrate of Qiantang County, and was later promoted to the commander of the Hangzhou Navy because of his merits.

The imperial court asked Lotte to lead the southeast navy to encircle and suppress Lu Shisang, and Lotte could just take advantage of the southeast navy to expand its interests overseas.

As Liao Shi spoke first, a young man in his twenties and several people who looked like domestic servants stepped out of the boat on the side to load their goods, also looking at the shore ahead.

"Prince Wang!" Liao Shi first arched his hand at the young man on the boat next door, and said, "Look, Wang Gongzi, this is Luzon that Marquis Le asked me to wait for?" ”

"I've seen General Wu!" When the prince heard this, he hurriedly handed over his hand to Liao Shixian, and then shook his head and smiled: "It is also the first time to take the route of Luzon, why don't you ask Uncle Wu, Uncle Wu has taken this route several times!" ”

This prince is none other than Wang Zhe, the eldest son of Lotte's father-in-law Wang Zuo, Lotte's eldest brother, this trip to Luzon was recommended by Wang Zuo to Lotte to let his eldest son go along, after all, he is not young, his family is big, and this eldest son will take on this responsibility sooner or later.

Wang Zhe's voice fell, and an old man in gray next to him hurriedly said: "This route of Luzon has been passed several times, and there is no doubt that the front is indeed Luzon by time and route, but because of the influence of the wind direction, the route will deviate, and I am not sure which part of Luzon is below." ”

Hearing what the old man was doing, the sailors immediately shouted happily. In the eyes of these sailors, no matter where in Luzon, as long as it is in Luzon, it is fine.
