The following month, Shangjing became even busier. The first voyage of Liuqiu has begun, and almost all the ships of the Great Song Dynasty are used to extradite the people to Liuqiu. The maritime merchants who had a large number of ships made a fortune. Under the leadership of Zhao Ji, this Great Song Dynasty immigration development movement will go down in history on the largest scale!

The newly formed 12,000 Expeditionary Force Sailors, all the warships entered the dock for repair and transformation. Thirty gunboats strengthened their power with the help of the two-section propulsion mechanism of the chicken coop village. The original seven-pin cannon was dismantled, and the newly developed thirteen-pin cannon was installed, and the shells were no longer stone shells, but thunderbolt shells.

Fifty ships also dismantled their original bed crossbows and installed bazooka vehicles. More than 50 bazooka vehicles were installed on the side of each ship, and 5,000 rockets were in reserve. In response to this war, the rocket prepared 300,000 barrels. This rocket is not the kind of rocket with oil cotton tied to the arrows used by the Sea Falcon, but a parallel rocket that the Bazooka vehicle uses to launch.

In order to increase the impact force, the fighting ship has remodeled and strengthened the deck, and wrapped a layer of iron sheet on the outside of the ship, which looks like an ironclad battleship. In order not to affect the sailing speed of the fighting ship, in addition to increasing the mechanical power such as the two-throttle propulsion mechanism, the sails were also modified.

As the flagship, the building ship has also been renovated to reduce the speed, but increase the carrying capacity, and become a special transport ship. It is used to store weapons and ammunition needed for this battle, all kinds of swords, guns, armor, arrows, feathers, tents, grain, grass, wounds, etc. Grain and grass were relatively scarce, because Zhao decided to use the means of the Mongol Empire's external expansion to form a military advantage in local areas, fight a war of annihilation, and quickly gather war resources through plunder.

In this war, the owner of the workshop in Jingdong City and various maritime commercial banks provided 5 million yuan of goods loans, the merchant alliance cabinet workshop provided 5 million yuan of capital loans, and the Bianjing Political Affairs Hall allocated 5 million yuan, but this army of 12,000 people spent a huge amount of money of 15 million yuan. Armed to the teeth, so to speak.

If you can't go through this war and loot 15 million from Cochin, then this is a loss-making war.

When the shipyards were rushing to renovate the warships, Zhao Ji was stationed in the southern joint defense army of Shangjing, and first trained 12,000 people transferred from the 7th Town Coast Guard Army in Shangjing and the 8th Town Coastguard Army of Jilong. In particular, a complete set of weapons and armor were issued to the 6,000 people of the Eighth Town Sea Guard, and the original water thief soldiers were excited.

A large number of golden armor, green dragon swords, bows, crossbows, and flags are piled up in the south of the city. Zhao Ji personally led the generals to distribute weapons and armor to the original water thief soldiers. When they put on the new uniform clothes, their momentum instantly changed, which made the fire cavalry soldiers envious. The pirate soldiers have been running the sea all year round, licking life on the edge of the knife, and the murderous aura on their bodies is heavier than that of the fire cavalry. After changing to a new golden armor, it is more like the Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty, and more like a division of a hundred battles.

The golden armor is not really made of gold, and Zhao Ji does not have such a big net worth. The gold armor, which is actually willow leaf armor, is just plated with a layer of brass on the outside of the armor. The glittering golden armor gave the pirate soldiers a stronger sense of belonging. In addition to issuing weapons and armor, Zhao Ji also presided over their branding ceremony, and each water thief soldier branded a blood-red water character on his forehead.

The water thief soldiers originally had water snakes tattooed on their bodies, in addition to indicating their identities, they also hoped to be protected by the water god. In ancient times, because of filial piety, ordinary people could not get tattoos, and those who got tattoos were not good citizens. Water thieves have water snakes tattooed on their bodies, and bandits have tigers tattooed on their bodies. This tattoo is actually a statement of entry into this profession, because once you get a tattoo, no matter whether you have robbed your house or not, you will be arrested and put in prison if you are arrested and found out.

After being recruited, the pirate soldiers often had to stay on the ship because of their tattoos, and did not dare to go ashore. For this tattoo, distressed. And now, in addition to this tattoo, they have a water tattoo again. From then on, everyone knew that they were a Great Song sailor.

After three months of processing and transformation, the officers and men of the expeditionary force conducted a drill off the coast of Shangjing to familiarize themselves with the new warships and equipment. When the second fleet of extradited people set off for Liuqiu, Zhao Ji also issued an order and swore to go on the expedition!

On the tenth day of the third month of the fourth year of Xining (1071), the war between the Great Song Dynasty and the Li Dynasty of Jiaozhi started four years ahead of schedule. Zhao Ji, who has crossed over, can't wait to change the law to enrich the treasury before teaching Jiaozhi a lesson.

This war was completely different from the Song-Yue War in history. First of all, this time it was the Song Dynasty that took the lead in sending troops and gathered five roads to attack Jiaozhi. Historically, the Song-Yue War was completely a self-defense counterattack of the Song Dynasty, and this time it was the Great Song Dynasty that raised troops to avenge the killing of 500 merchants in order to avenge the killing of 500 merchants.

Secondly, in this war, Zhancheng, Zhenla, Dali, Northern Liao, and Western Xia all sent troops to participate in the war. Needless to say, Zhancheng and Dali have all mentioned the reasons before. Chenla, on the other hand, was preparing to seize Anju (the southern region of Laos) in Cochin, which had an independent tribe known as Niu Roar Man, also known as Ailao, that is, the later Tai people. This tribe was originally affiliated with Chenla. After Jiaozhi defeated Dali, he also took the opportunity to occupy it. The Chenla Angkor Dynasty sent troops to attack Cochin many times, but was defeated by Cochin. This time, I heard that the Great Song Dynasty was going to use troops against Jiaozhi, and Zhenla also wanted a piece of the pie.

Northern Liao, for the sake of the country of all brothers, and Western Xia in order to maintain border trade with the Great Song Dynasty, each sent 1,000 elite cavalry to help in the war. As early as the winter of the third year of Xining, under the auspices of the Bianjing Political Affairs Hall, the Great Song Dynasty signed new trade agreements with Western Xia and Northern Liao respectively. The Great Song Dynasty gave the two countries an increase of 10% in their New Year's coins, and the two countries accepted the Great Song Dynasty's use of Jiaozi instead of tea, gold and silver, and silk to import New Year's coins. The Great Song Dynasty fully opened border trade and no longer prohibited the trade restrictions of copper, iron and salt tea between the two countries, while the two countries accepted the circulation of the Great Song Jiaozi in the two countries. In addition to the Western Xia, Northern Liao, and Dali also signed such an agreement, the Song Dynasty gave Dali 100,000 years old coins every year, Dali fully opened border trade with the Song Dynasty, no longer levied border taxes on trade between the two countries, and allowed all goods to trade freely.

The annual annual coin given by the Great Song Dynasty to Northern Liao was 500,000 guan, the annual coin to Western Xia was 275,000, and the annual coin to Dali was 100,000 guan, and the total annual coin was about 900,000 guan. Using Jiaozi to lose New Year's coins, this amount of money is considered a financial aid, and Zhao Ji doesn't care. The free trade agreement helped to promote the development of the handicraft industry in the Great Song Dynasty.

The Western Xia and Northern Liao were originally very nervous about the Great Song Dynasty's reform and strengthening the army, because they were not quiet at home, and they were afraid of war with the Great Song Dynasty. Knowing that the Great Song Dynasty increased the annual currency, opened border trade restrictions, and also used troops against Jiaozhi in the south, the two countries were finally relieved of the Great Song Dynasty. With the tranquility of the border and the increasing prosperity of trade, both the Western Xia and Northern Liao achieved a large amount of commercial taxes. At the same time as the rise of industry and commerce in the Great Song Dynasty, the two countries also caught the express train of economic development in the Great Song Dynasty.

Under such an agreement, the long-standing military confrontation between the Western Xia, the Great Song Dynasty, and the Northern Liao came to an end and was replaced by a prosperous border trade. Together with Dali, the four countries have formed an economic community. The Western Xia also set out to open up the land Silk Road, so that the Western Xia could prosper with the help of the land Silk Road. However, under such an agreement, China has been economically reunified.

On the tenth day of the first month of March, it was a sunny and cloudless auspicious day of the zodiac, Zhao Ji and the soldiers who went out this time gathered in the port of Huangpu in Shangjing, where nearly 20,000 people gathered in the black pressure, and the entire Huangpu port was impassable. There were also people on the periphery who came from Shangjing to see off the expeditionary force, looking at this majestic army from afar. This was the first time they had seen that the Great Song Dynasty had such an elite army, so they were full of confidence in the development of Liuqiu and the expedition to Jiaozhi.

When everyone gathered, Zhao Ji presided over the flag sacrifice ceremony for the first time. After slaughtering the livestock and killing the Jiaozhi envoy to sacrifice the flag, Zhao Ji held a wine bowl and shouted to the soldiers gathered under the altar: "Soldiers of the expeditionary force! Today I will take you south to Jiaozhi to avenge the murder of 500 merchants! Jiaozhi did not abide by the way of the ministers, demanded our prefectures and counties, attacked our vassals, plundered the goods and border people of our dynasty, and killed our merchants. I want to ask you, what do you say? ”

With Zhao Ji's question, the soldiers below shouted neatly: "Revenge!" Avenge! The roars of 20,000 people converged into a torrent and rushed straight into Xiaohan, echoing in the sky above Shangjing for a long time, making all the people present can't help but boil their blood. The people who came to see him off also roared one after another.

Zhao Ji was dressed in a yellow robe, looking at these yelling soldiers, his heart suddenly became in a trance, is he really from the next generation? After their roars gradually subsided, they then shouted loudly again: "Since we want revenge, then we will let the Jiaozhi people see the anger of our Great Song!" Blood for blood, tooth for tooth! In this battle, kill all their men, rob all their women, let their men bleed, and women cry! Loot all their riches, raze all their cities, and make them pay a million times more! ”

As Zhao Ji shouted this vicious revenge, both the Great Song soldiers and ordinary people suddenly fell silent in shock, and only the two thousand cavalry of Western Xia and Northern Liao were cheering: "Long live Emperor Xining!" The Great Song is mighty! ”

Zhao Ji didn't care whether it was cold or not, put the wine bowl in his hand to his mouth and drank it in a big gulp, then threw it heavily on the ground, broke into pieces, and then waved his big hand suddenly, pointing at the warships gathered on the dock and shouting: "For countless wealth and women, go on the expedition!" ”

Although the soldiers and people of the Great Song Dynasty could not accept such a vicious slogan of this official family who admired martial arts and punished people in anger, but the official family could swear to go on the expedition in order to avenge the killing of 500 ordinary merchants, then this official family close to the people was still their good emperor.

All the soldiers of the expeditionary force drank the wine in their hands, threw it on the ground, and then cheered: "Long live the saint!" The Great Song is mighty! ”

Then, under the congratulations of the cabinet and other ministers, Zhao Ji strode off the altar, stepped on the war horse, and all the soldiers of the expeditionary force followed Zhao Ji in an orderly manner, boarded the warship, and raised the sails.

Zhao Ji stood on the Shenzhou and looked at the masts of the ships on the Whampoa Wharf like a forest, and looked at the officers and soldiers of the expeditionary force who boarded the ship on the wharf, and couldn't help but feel proud in his chest, and said to Li Chang, Xiao Yiyuan, Xue Yi and other generals standing behind him: "Song Yang Tianxia has finally taken the first step, Jiaozhi will be the first stop of the Great Song Haiwei Army to sail the world, I don't know if you have confidence?" ”

Although Zhao Ji personally conquered, the pacification envoy of this expeditionary force was Xiao Yiyuan, Li Chang was the governor, and Xue Yi was the deputy marshal. Xue Yi was overjoyed when he learned that he was the deputy marshal, thinking that the emperor was personally recruiting and the boss must be an official, but he didn't expect that the boss would be the water thief who had defeated him, and he was extremely unhappy. And Xiao Yiyuan was appointed as the head coach, which means that the burden of this expedition is on him. And Li Chang was also dissatisfied with Zhao Ji's remarks about swearing to go on the expedition just now.

For a while, everyone had their own thoughts, but no one could care to answer Zhao Ji's question. After being silent for a long time, Li Chang noticed that something was wrong and hurriedly answered, but was unexpectedly preempted by a Western Xia general. The Western Xia general Ren Duo Ling Ding said: "The last general has confidence. In this battle, the Great Song Dynasty will definitely be able to destroy Jiaozhi and annex Jiaozhi. ”

Renduo Lingding is also one of the famous generals of Western Xia. In the spring of the third year of Xining (1070), the Empress Dowager Liang personally ordered 300,000 troops to attack the Great Song Dynasty in six ways, and Renduo Lingding was the commander of one of them. However, he was defeated by the seeds. After Chong Ge captured Suiyuan City, he was imprisoned by the Empress Dowager Liang. It was not until the Song-Xia peace talks, the return of Suiyuan City to the Western Xia, and the signing of a new trade agreement, that he was released. I didn't expect to be sent here at this time.

On the surface, Renduo Lingding meant to support the annexation of Jiaozhi by the Great Song Dynasty, but in fact he hoped that the Great Song Dynasty would be mired in the Jiaozhi War. At that time, the Great Song Dynasty was not strong and suffered defeat, and the annual coins could be increased again.

"The general's bold words are just the right time to see the general's bravery. However, the small country of Nell will be taught a hard lesson. The Great Song Dynasty still has no shortage of that square inch of land. Zhao Ji responded.
