Chapter 492: Mongolia is not weak
Zhao Shuo has always been a person who does what he says, and after discussing the strategy, he immediately asked people to find Zhang Chujiu, and then conveyed the plan. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Zhang Chujiu did not dare to hesitate for this kind of major event, and gave priority to sending carrier pigeons and passed it to Zhao Cheng in Dengzhou.
During this time, Zhao Cheng was quite depressed. In the past, it was smooth sailing when he returned to Dengzhou from the Li Dynasty, but now, along the way, there is constant harassment. This significantly increased the attrition of the fleet. Sometimes, transporting a shipload of goods will still lose money in the end.
This is not counting, these days, piracy along the coast is very rampant, Zhao Cheng is in the middle of the command, constantly sending troops to meet and intercept. Although, with the cooperation of the ground forces, the attacks of the pirates were repeatedly repulsed. But the frequent harassment of pirates has made the already problematic shipping lanes even more dangerous.
In the past, there were even merchants who hired fishing boats to follow Zhao Cheng's fleet to the Li Dynasty to purchase supplies, and then returned to Dengzhou to sell them to other regions. What now? Even if it is a naval fleet, the number of people is too small, and Zhao Chengdu does not dare to send it out to purchase supplies.
This time, after receiving Zhao Shuo's order to pretend to be a pirate, Zhao Chengna was excited. He felt that he could finally let out a bad breath.
Zhao Cheng is also a master who does what he says, he went to the dock, gathered a group of soldiers who can really fight well, and then it was a drill.
After all, the current Zhao Cheng can't leave if he wants to, because the small cannonballs, muskets and artillery that Zhao Shuo gave him have not yet arrived.
And so, in the midst of endurance and suffering, the year 1133 came.
Zhao Shuo was dressed in full costume on this day and met with all the officials who came to Chang'an to pay New Year's greetings.
After everything is done, it is already three poles of the day.
Zhao Shuo sat in the living room, sipping tea lightly, looking quite leisurely.
"Lord Wang, it would be nice if it was so lively and peaceful every year." Fang Yunsheng, who was in charge of taking care of Zhao Shuo that day, said with a smile.
"Oh, Yunshang, you're pregnant, let someone do this job!" Zhao Shuo got up, doted on Fang Yunsheng's side, and hugged her into his arms.
"Lord Wang, it's still daytime!" Fang Yunshang said coquettishly.
"What's wrong with the day, this big New Year, is there anyone who is so unhappy and comes to me for trouble out of time." Zhao Shuo said with a grin.
"Lord Wang!" Fang Yunshang lowered her head and was silent, her pretty face was slightly red.
Zhao Shuo's year, among the four daughters-in-law, Fang Yunshang and Zhe Yueying, who were the first to be pampered, were shot, which is a great thing. In order to take care of the pregnant Fang Yunshang and Zhi Yueying, Zhao Shuo originally wanted to cancel the system of taking turns to take care of Zhi Yueying, Fang Yunsheng, Xiao Fluttershy, and Yan Wu. However, it turns out that Yan Wu and Fluttershy, who are not pregnant, fully agree, while Fang Yunsheng and Zheyueying, who are pregnant, both oppose.
Zhao Shuo, who couldn't understand women, had no choice but to dispel this idea in the end. But when the pregnant Fang Yunshang and Zheyueying were serving them, Zhao Shuo basically wouldn't let them do anything.
And, when there is nothing to do, he will show affection.
Yan Wu and Fluttershy are treated differently, and the two who are not pregnant are quite obsessed with pregnancy. So, when Zhao Shuo was taking care of Yueying and Fang Yunsheng, he was cultivating himself to show affection, and when Yan Wu and Xiaodie were taking care of him, he was exercising to show affection.
"Hey...... Do you want us to play a game......" Seeing that Fang Yunshang was so shy, Zhao Shuo thought of a very dirty idea.
However, God will not let Zhao Shuo realize such an idea.
"Lord Wang......" Zhang Chujiu ran into the hall. Belch...... I'm sorry Lord Wang, Minister Meng Lang. ”
Zhang Chujiu's luggage standards and apologies were appropriate. Let Zhao Shuo really have nowhere to spill.
He looked at Zhang Chujiu, and his eyes almost burst into flames. You said that this is the New Year, why don't you take a good rest at home? It's okay if you don't have a good rest, it's okay to have something to do, but you have to let someone tell you. The relationship is good, there is an emergency, and Zhao Shuo can endure it without telling him, but when you get to the door, why don't you knock on the door?
said 1,000, to 10,000, Zhao Shuo was angry. Being disturbed when showing affection is something that Zhao Shuo can't bear.
"Master Zhang, what do you say, I'll pour you a glass of water." Fang Yunsheng pushed Zhao Shuo away, blushed, and left the hall.
When Zhang Chujiu heard this, how dare he reply, he lowered his head, and was already about to touch the ground.
"You say, what's the matter?" After Fang Yunshang left, Zhao Shuo asked.
Knowing that Zhao Shuo was angry, Zhang Chujiu hurriedly took out the secret letter he had just received. "Lord Wang, this is from Dengzhou, take a look."
"Dengzhou?" Zhao Shuo was surprised, according to expectations, artillery, small shells and muskets should have arrived in Dengzhou in the next few days. And now, something is going on in Dengzhou. Zhao Shuo frowned and took the secret letter, but when he received the letter, his eyes never left Zhang Chujiu.
Zhao Shuo had already thought about it, if there was nothing important in this secret letter, he must clean up Zhang Chujiu.
"Lord Wang, the minister thinks this letter is very important, so he sent it, as for what happened just now, it was really just an accident." Sensing Zhao Shuo's murderous eyes, Zhang Chujiu explained.
Zhao Shuo ignored Zhang Chujiu, he opened the secret letter and looked at it simply.
At this glance, Zhao Shuo's eyes became solemn. The letter was not at all what he had in mind.
The secret letter was not written by Zhao Cheng, but by Wang Gui, the Taishou of Dengzhou.
Wang Gui confessed in the letter that the materials transported by Zhao Shuo had arrived, and after Zhao Cheng received the supplies, he directly led more than 20 warships to sea.
In the past few days, all the pirates who had been harassing the coastal area have suddenly disappeared, but many broken wooden planks have continued to float along them.
There is another point that makes Wang Gui very worried, that is, floating corpses began to appear, these floating corpses are all pirate costumes, and if you want to distinguish them, you can only rely on your head shape and figure.
After identification, most of the floating corpses were Mongols, and some Han Chinese, which made Wang Gui even more worried.
He was worried that Zhao Cheng would encounter an accident at sea, so he hurriedly wrote this secret letter to report to Zhao Shuo.
But coincidentally, this secret letter arrived in Chang'an on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
"Chujiu, get up." After reading the letter, Zhao Shuo said slowly.
"Lord Wang, it's okay!" Zhang Chujiu asked worriedly.
"It's okay, what's going on for the New Year." Zhao Shuo waved his hand. "Go down and get some rest."
Zhang Chujiu was stunned, but he still bowed and retreated.
"Gone?" Fang Yunsheng, who had made tea, came to the hall and saw that Zhao Shuo was the only one stunned, so he couldn't help but ask.
"Gone!" Zhao Shuo barely squeezed out a smile.
"Don't pretend, isn't there something big." Fang Yunshang saw through Zhao Shuo's disguise at a glance.
"Zhao Cheng went to sea, as if he was experiencing a big war." Zhao Shuo said. "I'm a little worried, Mongolia seems to be stronger than we think."
