Chapter 498: Dongying has a port

After hearing this, Molda pondered for a long time and gave an answer that disappointed Zhao Shuo. Murda www.biquge.info didn't speak, but kept shaking her head.

"Can't you do it?" Zhao Shuo already knew the result, but he still didn't want to give up just like that.

"Lord Wang, you should know this better than me!" Molda complimented before explaining. "Da Song traded with us, to put it bluntly, they just wanted to make some money, they needed some of our things, and we also needed some of their things, but these things were not necessities, they were all usable or not. When the prince does not sanction, how should they buy and how to buy, once the prince sanctions the embargo, they can completely do without these things, so the embargo can only reduce our income, and it will not have much effect on the Great Song Dynasty. At best, it's just a little less enjoyable for them. ”

"That~!" Zhao Shuo frowned slightly. "Is there a way to control the economy of the Great Song Dynasty?"

"Lord Wang, I don't understand this economic governance, I don't understand national governance, if you want to control a country's economy, I think only those big industries related to the national economy and people's livelihood are possible, such as salt, iron, grain, these ......"

Speaking of this, Molda showed a very helpless expression. "But these industries are all under the control of the imperial court, if we want to infiltrate, it will be difficult!"

"If that's the case!" Zhao Shuo snorted his teeth. "The only way we have left is to fight to the death."

"Lord Wang, I don't understand about war, but when doing business, if you want to defeat your opponent, the best way is to draw a salary from the bottom of the kettle, kill him with one blow, and don't give him a chance to resist." Molda Road.

After Zhao Shuo heard this, he thought about it, and then laughed. "Brother Mo, I've been taught."

Then Zhao Shuo asked Molda to send someone to inform Zhang Chujiu, saying that he had something to summon, and then returned to the mansion with a smile.

When Zhao Shuo returned to the mansion, Zhang Chujiu had already arrived in a hurry.

"Lord Wang, you look for me!" Zhang Chujiu saw Zhao Shuo and asked.

Zhao Shuo nodded. "Where is Ruan Xiaoqi?"

"Lord Ruan has now led the fleets of Dengzhou and Laizhou to set off, and the day after tomorrow, he should be able to reach Zhao Cheng's battlefield." Zhang Chujiu pondered for a while before speaking.

"And what about my uncle's fleet? How long will they take. Zhao Shuo asked.

"Five days at the earliest, seven days at the most, it should be there." Zhang Chujiudao.

Zhao Shuo's eyes were sharp. "It looks like it's a race against time."

"Lord Wang, our navy is not a little stronger than the Mongolian navy, this time, the whole army is dispatched, and there must be no problem in rescuing Zhao Cheng. When the Mongols saw this formation, they would have turned around and fled. In this way, our naval army directly escorted Zhao Cheng back to Dengzhou Port, and after the army of the Great Song Dynasty arrived, it could only pounce. Zhang Chujiu analyzed.

"Chu Jiu, you underestimate Mongolia too much." Zhao Shuo shook his head slightly. "If they knew that the Great Song Dynasty had sent a rescue fleet, they would definitely fight us to the death. Once this happens, if Ruan Xiaoqi can't defeat Mongolia in two or three days, then our situation will be ......."

Zhao Shuo frowned and didn't say it all.

"What then?" Zhang Chujiudao.

"I want you to send a message to Ruan Xiaoqi and ask him to transfer a fleet of ships to bypass the battlefield and find a Mongolian port." Zhao Shuo said.

"Mongolia's ports are freezing right now! Even if we find it, we ......" Zhang Chujiu was puzzled. Mongolia's port, as everyone knows, is really the eastern part of the Jin country, and now it is nominally a point of complete beauty, but the actual ruling power belongs to Mongolia.

Now, just after the Spring Festival, the north is not as good as the south, and there are still tomatoes in some places in the south. But in the north, especially to the east of the Kingdom of Jin, the sea has long been frozen, and even if a port is built, ships must not stop there.

This is what Zhang Chujiu is puzzled about, obviously he already knows where the port of the Mongolian army is, and he also knows that where the ship cannot be stopped at all now, why did Zhao Shuo still let Ruan Xiaoqi divide his troops to find the Mongolian port?

Could it be that there are other ports in Mongolia!

"I suspect that Mongolia has a port in Dongying." Zhao Shuo said.

"Dongying!" Zhang Chujiu was taken aback. As he knows, the country is made up of several islands. During the Tang Dynasty, many scholars were sent to study in the Tang Dynasty, and after the establishment of the Great Song Dynasty, they also had business dealings with the Great Song Dynasty.

If the Great Song Dynasty has a relationship with Dongying and establishes a port in Dongying, Zhang Chujiu can still believe it. But to say that Mongolia has a relationship with Dongying, and has also established a port in Dongying, this is completely unacceptable to Zhang Chujiu.

You must know that it has only been half a year since Mongolia took the eastern part of the Jin Kingdom, and the port there has not yet been completely built, let alone built in Dongying.

"Chu Jiu, you really underestimate Mongolia." Zhao Shuo sighed. "What are they fighting for hegemony on the road, attacking the Kingdom of Jin, and seizing the port?" Zhao Shuo looked at Zhang Chujiu.

"This?" Zhang Chujiu was a little embarrassed. "I can't say it."

"They built the port because they were stimulated. They were jealous when they saw that we had brought back the grain in the Li Dynasty, and that we were still fighting with the country over there. Zhao Shuo analyzed. Mongolia wants to follow our example and develop overseas trade, but they are different from us, firstly, their shipbuilding technology is a lot worse, and secondly, their sailing level is also poor. Just these two things, in a few decades, they want to create a combat combat water army, which is impossible. ”

"It's ...... that surrounds Zhao Cheng on the sea," Zhang Chujiu was even more confused.

"Of course it's the Mongol navy." Zhao Shuo gritted his teeth and said. "Because Mongolia can't build its own ships and lacks technology, my uncle sold a lot of big ships to Mongolia privately in order to let Mongolia drag us."

Zhao Shuo got up. "If you think about it, if you don't teach the Mongols the techniques, then it's useless for the Mongols to buy these boats."

"So, that Zhao Gou ......" Zhang Chujiu clenched his fists angrily.

"Yes, he made money selling clothes, and then taught us the technology to contain us." After Zhao Shuo finished analyzing, he said the key points. Because of the relationship with Zhao Gou, the Dongying people lent their ports to Mongolia in desperation in order to trade and buy what they needed from the Great Song Dynasty. Perhaps, Mongolia will contribute some money, so that the people of Dongying must be very happy. ”

"So, the Mongol army rested in Dongying Port, and then attacked us from time to time, and Zhao Cheng didn't know this, so he went all the way north to look for it, so he fell into the trap of the Mongols?" Zhang Chujiudao.

"Almost!" Zhao Shuo sighed. "Hurry up and give the order, this is very urgent, it is a matter of life and death."
