On the third day, the navy of Li Jun and Sam Nguyen conducted a landing operation, and many army generals were dazzled by the completely novel mode of warfare of landing operations. Chen Xizhen, the www.biquge.info of the pen, said happily after seeing it: "This is the first time I have seen such a tactic, if there is such a tactic, if there is really a battle between Song and Jin in the future, my Shandong Road army and horses can take the sea route to outflank the back road of Liaodong and directly threaten the hinterland of the Jin Kingdom." ”

On the side, Uncle Zhang said thoughtfully: "But if our army rebels, the coastal areas of the south of the Yangtze River will also be threatened by it." When Chen Xi heard this, he sighed and said with a wry smile: "Old lady Shou, in fact, whether the lord is against or not is all in the thought of the court." ”

Uncle Zhang said strangely: "Why do you say that? Chen Xizhen said: "The lord is flourishing in Shandong Road, and now he is so famous in the army, if the court can treat him well, the lord will not rebel, if the traitors in the court only think about how to deal with the lord, it is forcing the lord to raise troops." In that year, the Xia State rebelled, that is, the imperial court did not do things secretly, and without a perfect plan, it began to cut down the domain, which finally caused the disaster of the Xia Kingdom. ”

It turned out that the Li family of the Western Xia Party Xiang State, when the Song Dynasty was first established, has always been dependent on the Song Dynasty, Song Taizu Xu Li hereditary Yongzhen Hetao, although the Pingxia Li family occupied the rich Hetao, there was money, food, soldiers and horses, but the ambition of the Li family has not been big, it is nothing more than willing to be a prince, although Song Taizu cut the military power of the feudal town, but the northwest ethnic minorities are still lenient. But when it came to Song Taizong, the situation changed, Zhao Guangyi cut the military power of the feudal town, brought the Li family to the capital, and prepared to eradicate the entrenched power in the northwest. Li Jizhu's clan brother is named Li Jiqian, who has extraordinary ambitions, and knows that once he enters Beijing, it is tantamount to Jiaolong losing water, and there is no possibility of turning the tables. Therefore, he fled under the pretext of escape into the vast grassland. Subsequently, Li Jiqian expanded his power, and then raised troops against the Song Dynasty, and even took refuge in the Liao State, and since then Western Xia has become a major hidden danger in the northwest of the Song Dynasty.

Sanniang led the old department of Liangshan to be recruited, and forced the imperial court to allow the opening of Shandong, and the same soldiers and horses as the Xia State that year, and although Sanniang is a woman, but the intelligence is more powerful than Li Jiqian, if the Song court is really someone who has a brain in the water, maybe he will really cut the feudal domain and force Sanniang to rebel.

As the imperial court and Shandong Lu Fan Town to maintain the tie after listening to Chen Xizhen's words, Zhang Shuye was even more worried, now the Liao State was destroyed, the Xia State was beaten to beg peace, Dali, Tubo and so on are not enough for the Song court, and formed an alliance with the Jin State, the rebellion in the Song State was also pacified, looking around, only Shandong Road Fan Town is a great threat to the Song Court, maybe Tong Guan these traitors for their own merits, will really have a hot head, so they will pry the court to cut the domain, to deal with the Shandong Road Domain, so it is really forcing Sanniang to raise troops.

On that day, the most proficient in the landing combat drill was Li Jun's unit, because he had the experience of going to Yanjing to meet the merchants and civilians before, so he was more proficient than the Sanruan fleet, and the Sanruan fleet only plundered merchant ships in the south all the year round, and rarely landed ashore, so it was inferior to Li Jun's department.

After all the participants in the exercise, on the fourth day, Sanniang personally met with the admirals and colonels of the navy, and rewarded the meritorious people of this exercise, and then rewarded the officers and men of the navy, and all the officers and men were very happy. Later, Sanniang summoned Li Jun, Er Zhang, San Ruan and others alone, and proposed that Li Jun and San Ruan's troops rotate south to plunder, and Li Jun, San Ruan and others all agreed.

It's just that the Sanruan fleet has been plundering at sea all the year round, and it is also quite tired, and it also wants the officers and men under his command to go ashore to rest and recuperate, and Li Jun's department is also jealous that the Sanruan fleet has plundered a lot, just because Sanniang promised that the goods obtained by the privateer fleet would be divided in half with the Shandong Road. Both sides were looking at each other, and they were taking turns to plunder south, and there was no hindrance.

Then talking about the looting, Sanniang explained: "In the future, the looting should also be done." Li Jun said: "The lord means that in the future, we will also be like Liangshan back then, and sit on the collection of money?" ”

Sanniang bowed her head and said: "Exactly, if our privateer fleet only cares about plundering merchant ships, over time, merchant ships will not dare to take this sea route, or go together, the fleet is huge, and it is difficult to plunder." It is better to do the money, but if we pay the merchant ships to our fleet, we will not only not rob them, but will also escort them safely into the port, so that the merchant ships will come and go more, and we will be able to sit and collect the money without spending any life and ammunition. But if you refuse to pay, you don't have to be polite, just rob his mother. "Sanniang's pirate escort method of collecting money was also used by the pirate Zheng Zhilong at the end of the Ming Dynasty in later generations, and the effect was wonderful, and the Zheng navy finally controlled the trade in the Far East, and even the Holland, the sea coachman who was in full swing at that time, did not dare to underestimate it.

Li Jun, Er Zhang, San Ruan and the others all laughed, but Zhang Shun said: "Lord, if this is the case, the brothers we rotate will not be able to plunder, and they will not get much benefit, but I am afraid that there will be complaints." ”

Sanniang said with a smile: "Let's not rob in the waters south of the Yangtze River, then go farther, go to the Nanyang lands to plunder, I heard that the Nanyang Bomud Country and other small countries are even richer, you don't want to go south to rob the Nanyang lands, and subdue the local pirates and water bandits, in short, I want you to dominate the Nanyang Seaway, and you can also grab the Tianzhu Sea in the future, it's not impossible." ”

Li Jun and the others were overjoyed when they heard this, Li Jun said: "I heard that Tianzhu is even richer, okay, our brothers will rush all the way!" "Sanniang's navy shamelessly began a decades-long privateering activity, so that later the tentacles of the Chinese fleet extended to the Arabian Peninsula, opening the beginning of the great voyage of China and even the world, which is a later story.

After Sanniang led the generals to play in Laizhou for a few days, he returned home, and after returning to Jeju, he didn't want to get news from Tokyo. It turned out that the White Lotus Sect in Tokyo had inquired about the news, that is, the Song court now saw that the whole world was peaceful, so it intended to cut the eastern road of the domain, Tong Guan got the will of the imperial court, and was preparing to drive the soldiers and horses to the front line of Yanzhou, coercing the town of Shandong Road, and the imperial court ordered the Shandong Road Xuanfu envoy Hu Lan and Lu Junyi and others to go to Beijing to report on their work The will is already on the way.

After hearing the news, Sanniang immediately summoned a general of the staff to discuss. After hearing the news, Huang Wenbing sneered: "This Song court really can't bear it, it must be those traitors in the court who think that now that the country is quiet and there is no war abroad, they want to turn around and deal with our Shandong Road." ”

Zhu Wu frowned and said: "The imperial court ordered the head of the sect and Lu Yuanwai and other leaders to go to Beijing, and its meaning is obvious, that is, after teaching us to go to Beijing, we will wipe out the heads of Shandong Road Domain, and Tong Guan's soldiers and horses are watching in Yanzhou, once there is a change, we can drive the troops straight in." I don't think I can accept this will, let alone go to Beijing. ”

Chen Xizhen had also entered the staff at this time, he was different from Zhang Shuye, he didn't have much sense of loyalty to the Song court, and said at the moment: "It's just that if you don't follow the order, you will disobey the emperor's order, and Tong Guan's soldiers and horses will use this excuse to lead the troops to attack Shandong Road." ”

Lu Junyi slapped the table and said angrily: "Beat and beat, are we still afraid of the court?" In short, we don't go to Beijing! What are the fears of Tong Guan's soldiers and horses? If he really dares to come, we will simply raise the army and raise the banner against him! ”

The generals said that they were all the same opinion, and they could not go to Beijing, and even if they immediately rebelled, they could not go to Beijing. After Sanniang listened, she pressed her hands weakly, suppressed everyone's anxiety, and said slowly: "If you are forced to raise troops now, you will violate my oath and lose your righteous reputation. ”

Huang Wenbing groaned: "What the lord is worried about is that now that Jiangnan is peaceful, the people everywhere want to settle down, if you raise troops at this moment, I am afraid that in addition to the soldiers and civilians on Shandong Road, there are not many followers, and the Jin country is eyeing the side, if we fight with the Jin country, it will only be the Jin country that will benefit." ”

Sanniang approvingly: "What Huang Junshi said is extremely true, so we can't raise troops at the moment." Chen Xi really said: "Since you don't plan to raise troops, do you want to risk going to Beijing?" Sanniang smiled and said: "Father-in-law, although we can't raise troops now, we won't go to Beijing either." As the saying goes, the official word has two mouths, and he has a will there, and we can also use the excuse here to shirk one or two first. Well, isn't it about to go to Qufu to sacrifice holes? I replied to the court angel, I went to Qufu to sacrifice Kong, play the court, please wait for the ceremony of sacrificing Kong, and then go to Beijing. ”

Chen Xizhen frowned and said: "This kind of excuse can only be blocked for a while, I'm afraid that after a few months of delay, I still have to go to Beijing." Sanniang smiled: "In a few months, the world will definitely change, you can rest assured." ”

Although Chen Xizhen didn't understand why she was so sure as a righteous daughter, Sanniang had always had no last resort, and since she said so, she would do so first. Sure enough, a few days later, after Sanniang and Lu Junyi set off for Qufu to worship Kong, the court angel came to Jeju by order, and Chen Xizhen and Zhang Shuye greeted the angel together. Before Chen Xizhen told Zhang Shuye about Sanniang's going to worship Kong, Zhang Shuye did not participate in the consultation of the General Staff, because he didn't know why, but when he heard the will of the imperial court, he suddenly broke into a cold sweat, he knew that this was the usual trick used by the imperial court to cut the feudal domain, for fear of forcing Sanniang to rebel.

After the will was read, Uncle Zhang was still in trouble there, but Chen Xizhen replied to the angel that the Xuanfu envoy and the deputy Xuanfu envoy had gone to Qufu to sacrifice Kong, and they could only go to Beijing after the ceremony of sacrificing Kong. At that moment, Chen Xizhen asked Uncle Zhang to write a letter to return to the court, and the angel did not doubt him, so he took the song and returned.

After sending the angel away, Uncle Zhang grabbed Chen Xizhen in a hurry and said: "Commander Chen, the imperial court has issued such an order, can Shandong Road be stable?" Chen Xizhen smiled and said: "The old lady is at ease, the lord has long said that she will not rebel against the court, but after the lord priest Kong returns, she will follow the order to go to Beijing." ”

Uncle Zhang naturally didn't believe it, and after returning to his mansion, there was a report from Tanma, saying that the imperial court military horses began to assemble in Yanzhou, and Zhang Shuye was suddenly anxious like an ant on the heat, and the imperial court was preparing for the soldiers and horses. I don't know how Sanniang, a heroine in the middle of the girl, will deal with it? Thinking that she has enough money and food for the soldiers and horses in her hands, she is afraid that the court will be persecuted repeatedly, and it will be a matter of time to raise troops. I couldn't help but Uncle Zhang still went to the court and Su Taiwei to report to the secret report, and wanted to ask Su Taiwei to slow down his cheeks, and for Shandong Road Domain, don't be in a hurry.

I don't want him to go to the secret report, and he will sink like a stone in the sea, and there will be no news. More than ten days later, there was a more sternly worded decree from Tokyo, only urging Sanniang and others to report to Beijing as soon as possible, without further delay. After Uncle Zhang received the decree at night, he had to order someone to send the angel to Qufu to deliver the decree quickly, but his heart was as anxious as fire.
