Zhao Shuo's order was passed down, and Zhao Cheng was also angry, and immediately ordered the fleet to go to sea to find ships without flags. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info This time, Zhao Cheng is quite brutal, as long as there is no flag, he will be treated as a pirate, the crew will be confiscated, the ship will be confiscated, and if there is a resistance, there will be no mercy.

In a few days, Zhao Cheng captured more than a dozen ships, and hundreds of 'pirates' were caught.

These hundreds of people said that they were confiscated, but in fact, the place where they were distributed was very close, in Dengzhou Port. Zhao Cheng gave them a task and a promise.

The task is to complete the manufacture of the ironclad ship, and the promise is that after the ironclad ship is built, if you want to leave him, he can provide the passage fee and let him go.

That's a great deal for the captives. So, he willingly became Zhao Cheng's free labor force to build ironclad ships.

Of course, the exiled shipbuilders were all crew members of each ship, and Zhao Cheng did not deal with the commanders of each ship so hastily.

He knew very well that Zhao Shuo now lacked generals to fight at sea, and the commanders of these ships, some of whom could be of great use if they were trained.

Zhao Cheng reported his thoughts to Zhao Shuo, after all, Zhao Cheng didn't dare to make his own decisions when using such a major matter as a general. At the end of the report, Zhao Cheng added the matter of disposing of the crew.

After Zhao Shuo saw the news from Zhao Cheng, he pondered for a long time before nodding in agreement. But in the reply letter to Zhao Cheng, Zhao Shuo emphasized one point in particular, that is, for these people, before they are fully loyal to Zhao Shuo, they must send someone to keep an eye on them, so as not to cause a big disaster.

Zhao Shuo dealt with the news from Zhao Cheng here, and Zhao Gou also received a few messages.

The content of several messages is very similar, all of which say that so-and-so ship suddenly disappeared. Except for the name of the ship, everything else is the same.

"What the hell is going on? What's going on? Zhao Gou looked at a stack of similar news, and was speechless with anger.

"Official, do you remember Zhao Shuo's performance today?" Qin Hui asked softly.

"Zhao Shuo's recital?" Zhao thought for a moment, and then exclaimed. "Could it be that Zhao Shuo did this?"

"I think it's possible." After finishing speaking, Qin Hui analyzed. "Official, you think, we are attacking jointly with Mongolia, Zhao Shuo, this kid has suffered, when did he suffer this, it must have been him who went to sea to fight back, so he plundered our ships and caused the current situation."

"Zhao Shuo told me that there were pirates along the coast, let me be careful, and let his navy go to sea and attack our ships." Zhao Gou was dressed roughly, pacing, and his face was angry. "This kid is giving me a horse."

"Then should we ......" Qin Hui is related to Zhao Shuo, where is Zhao Shuo, Qin Hui is Zhao Shuo's person. Qin Hui can become the current prime minister, which has a lot to do with Zhao Shuo. At the beginning, although Qin Hui was respectful to Zhao Shuo and showed his loyalty, he didn't do anything specifically. Even, he thought of a way to kill Zhao Shuo.

Qin Hui has always felt that Zhao Gou is the orthodoxy of the Great Song Dynasty, and his strength is much stronger than Zhao Shuo. Even if Zhao Shuo has repeatedly come up with novelties, Zhao Gou's political influence is by no means comparable to Zhao Shuo.

In Qin Hui's opinion, sooner or later, Zhao Gou will be able to destroy Zhao Shuo.

But as time passed, Qin Hui sadly found that he seemed to have turned things the other way around. The Great Song Dynasty had small cannonballs, vigorously developed the naval army, and also formed an alliance with Mongolia, but it still couldn't take advantage of Zhao Shuoyi.

Qin Hui was shaken, since Zhao Gou was unreliable, it was not as good as Zhao Shuo, the helper of one mind. One day, after Zhao Shuo unifies the Great Song Dynasty, his interests will not be suppressed.

For Qin Hui, Zhao Shuo has always sent someone to contact. It's a connection, but it's actually staring. Under normal circumstances, what Qin Hui wants to do, Zhao Shuo doesn't care about this. But when Zhao Shuo needed Qin Hui's help with something, Qin Hui had to help.

Having said that, since Zhao Shuo recognized Qin Hui's return to obedience, he had only asked Qin Hui to do him a favor. Other times, Qin Hui is free.

Today, the Great Song Dynasty's navy failed again, making Qin Hui's heart begin to fall to Zhao Shuo. In order to protect his own interests in the future, he decided not to help Zhao Gou wholeheartedly. He had to plan for his future.

"Qin Aiqing, you seem to be different today." Glancing at Qin Hui, who had only spoken half of his words, Zhao Gou frowned.

"Official, I mean, are we going to sneak attack the ships in Dengzhou and Laizhou." In order to dispel Zhao Gou's doubts, Qin Hui said the second half of what he was about to say just now. But a lot of things have changed.

"Sneak attack on Dengzhou, Laizhou? How to sneak attack, there is a port where Zhao Shuo's navy is anchored. Zhao Gou scolded Qin Hui with dissatisfaction. Going with a scattered fleet, that is, sending meat to the wolf's mouth, a large number of fleets will be recognized at once, and when the time comes, it will indicate that we and Zhao Shuo are going to fight to the death. ”

Zhao Gou shook his head. "It's unpredictable to win or lose, and this kind of situation is not what we want to face."

"Let the Mongols go?" Qin Hui proposed another strategy, but such a strategy can be seen by a discerning person, which is really nonsense.

Zhao Gou was a clear-eyed person, so after he listened, he gave Qin Hui an expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling. "Do you think this strategy works?"

This time, it was Qin Hui's turn to be embarrassed. This is clearly not a viable strategy. You must know that the Mongolian naval army is in the stage of just being established, and the boats are decent except for a few that were quietly bought from the Great Song Dynasty, and the rest are all transformed from fishing boats.

In the last sneak attack on Zhao Shuo, Zhao Gou and Qin Hui had already received the news that Mongolia had sent dozens of small boats.

This incident made the Great Song Dynasty happy for a while. But now, what made Qin Hui happy had become something that constrained him at the moment.

Let the Mongolian fleet attack Zhao Shuo's Dengzhou and Laizhou, compared to the power of the Great Song Dynasty's first battle, it was completely meat buns and dogs, and it never returned.

But the words have already come out, at this time, if it is impossible, then Qin Hui will slap himself in the mouth.

"Official, this time Zhao Shuo attacked our fleet, I don't think the Mongolian side should be spared......" Qin Hui said slowly, he was thinking about how to phrase and sophistry. Although the Mongolian ships are small, there is no need to attack Dengzhou and Laizhou, like other coastal towns, and even some coastal fishing villages, can they be harassed! ”

Qin Hui, who had smoothed out his train of thought, suddenly became fluent. "Although Zhao Shuo's navy is strong, it is mainly distributed in Dengzhou and Laizhou, so that Mongolia will harass on all fronts, and run away after grabbing, I think Zhao Shuo just wants to intercept it, but he is also powerless."

After listening to Qin Hui's explanation, Zhao Gou nodded and said with a smile. "What Qin Aiqing said is reasonable, you can talk to Mongolia about this matter, if it is feasible, it is okay to give them some compensation."

"Yes!" Qin Hui saluted. "Official, the minister has retired."

"Go, go, go!" Zhao Gou waved his hand happily.

Qin Hui turned to leave, and after going out, he wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then hurried to find the contact person Zhao Shuo arranged for him.
