On the shore of Chaohu Lake, the spring breeze is warm, thousands of river boats full of goods, preparing to sail on the lake, the river boats are full of goods from the Qingfeng military general's workshop, to go through the Yuxi River into the Yangtze River, reload the sea ships in Chongming Prefecture, and then go directly to Fusang, for the soldiers on the border to send the necessary goods of Middle Earth, but also open the trade road of Fusang.

The Southern Song Dynasty was a corner of peace and wealth surpassed the great unification of later generations, which benefited from overseas trade, and later generations closed the sea and banned navigation, and suppressed industry and commerce.

Shen Wang, the eldest son of the great merchant Shen Wansan, as the chief manager of the voyage, stood on the dock, indifferent to the officials who should see him off, but looked anxiously from afar, hoping to see Hao Ren's figure seeing him off.

Mu Youcai, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, said: "Lord Shen, don't worry, Your Majesty will check the army today, and it will definitely come in a short time!" ”

As he spoke, a four-wheeled chariot sped in.

The carriage did not take the smooth road to riches, but was pulled by four galloping horses, raising dust all the way, slashing into the road to riches, and forbidding to rush to the wharf.

The carriage, like an open hedgehog, was covered with barbs, with sharp blades hanging from the outside of its four wheels, a crossbow machine at the front, a three-pounder cannon at the tail, and four swarms of bees hanging from the four corners. The standard sixteen pikemen, musketeers, crossbowmen, and sword and shield bearers on the chariot were not on duty.

There were only three people in the carriage, and the bearded general who was driving was none other than Shan Jun, the commander of the chariot soldiers, and the other one wearing silver fish scale armor was Hao Ren, and Chen Da, the head of the guard, stepped to the side of the battle and acted as Hao Ren's honor guard.

"Your Majesty is here!" The people waiting on the dock couldn't help but feel a burst of joy.

"Huh-" Tu Danjun let out a cold voice, and at the same time pulled the brake switch of the carriage, and the four armored horses let out a long roar, and when the front hooves were raised, the carriage had stopped steadily in the middle of everyone.

Hao Ren jumped out of the carriage in a hurry, and said with a long sigh: "Today's review of the car army, I almost missed the hour, delayed Lord Shen's time to go to sea, and also bothered you to wait here for a long time!" ”

"Where! Where! Mu Youcai patted his ass and said: "Your Majesty didn't do it at night, it's just that I came a little early, and the time was just noon!" This caused everyone to laugh.

Going to sea is a dangerous errand, although the navy of the Qingfeng Army has some experience in sailing and fighting at sea, in the face of uncontrollable waves and storms, the risk is still very high, and some of them may not be able to reach Nagasaki alive, and some may not be able to return safely.

Hao Ren inspected the team before leaving, and walked ahead, only sweeping his resolute and trusting gaze over the faces of each captain who went to sea.

He patted this one on the shoulder, straightened the placket of the other, and punched one of the captains in the chest, and from beginning to end, Hao Ren did not say a word, but just nodded with satisfaction, putting all the trust and care in his words.

"Does Your Majesty have anything else to entrust to your ministers?" Shen Wang asked cautiously.

"Did the generals who stayed in Fusang bring all the things they asked to bring?" Hao Ren asked with concern.

Shen Wang said confidently: "Your Majesty, rest assured, there are many things, even if the minister abandons his life, he will definitely bring the generals' entrustment to Fusang safely!" ”

"Never!" Hao Ren waved his hand to deny Shen Wang, and said: "If you go to sea to meet danger, remember, you would rather give up the goods, but also ensure the safety of the personnel, the goods can be transported again next time, the people are gone, how can I explain to Mr. Shen Wansan?" ”

"Obey the teachings!" Shen Wang felt warm, and arched his hand: "I don't know what else Your Majesty commands?" ”

"You do things, I don't worry!" Hao Ren affirmed: "It's not easy to go to sea once, I've already written things down on the paperwork, I'm afraid that the sea water on the road will wet the paperwork, so I'll tell you again!" ”

"Tell Yao Guangxiao that he is preparing to enter the Northern Expedition Middle Route Army in Goryeo, and I will give him the right to rule these 200,000 people, whether he can hold it or not, it depends on him, and he must let these 200,000 soldiers and horses hold on to Goryeo for more than three years, and when I destroy Chen Youliang, the army stationed in Goryeo and Fusang will be of great use."

"Middle-earth will no longer build ships on a large scale, it will cost manpower and resources, and even the dense mountains and forests on Chongming Prefecture will be cut down, and the number will be cut down, what will the descendants use in the future? Let Yao Guangxiao build a sea ship in Fusang, the more the better, and then carry the goods back to Middle Earth to anchor, and when the army goes to the South Seas in the future, it will be used! ”

"If the left-behind general in the land of Fusang makes a mistake, he can deal with it at his discretion, but if anyone I know commits a capital crime, he must find out the crime and let the fleet bring it back to me for disposal!"

"Tell the generals of Fusang that they are all great contributors to my expansion of territory, and two years later (three years were originally agreed, but one year has passed), I will definitely send someone to rotate them!"

"Also, let those generals, never forget my parting words, and never forget that you are from Middle-earth!"

"By the way, tell Zhang Shicheng and Fang Guozhen that as long as they want to return to Middle-earth, the door of our dynasty will be open for them at any time, and there will always be a place for the two of them in the list of heroes of our dynasty!"

……

Hao Ren was in the warm environment of friends on all sides, and felt that he had no way to expand the land, so he coerced Zhang Shicheng and Fang Guozhen to go to sea to try to conquer Fusang, and almost lost the territory of Middle Earth.

Shen Wang felt that the amount of information he was exposed to at once was too large, and he said in his heart, "Your Majesty, how long has this holy decree been written?" He pondered for a long time, considering that the holy decree would not be lost in his arms, and then said, "Your Majesty, rest assured, the ministers will remember!" ”

Hao Ren seems to have a lot to say, but after thinking about it, it doesn't make much sense to say it or not, and as for what the final result of the 20,000 horses left behind in Dongtu will be, Hao Ren is not sure at all.

The battle of Middle-earth has just begun, and the opponent has passed through the big waves and sands, and the soldiers and horses are often hundreds of thousands, as for when the Central Plains can be completely pacified, and when can he spare his energy to completely conquer Fusang, it can only depend on the will of heaven.

Hao Ren can only take his young son as his own symbol and stay in Dongtu, and in the end, whether this son can neglect his father's discipline and do rebellious things can only depend on how Yao Guangxiao's master teaches.

"The Battle of Jingjing!"

Hao Ren suddenly thought of an allusion in history, and couldn't help but sweat coldly on his back.

The shadow of the sail has disappeared into the sky, Hao Ren is still stopping for a long time, but the messenger sent by the official of the Ministry of Rites to deliver the letter: "The messenger of Zhao Pusheng of the Han regime has arrived!" ”

"Yes!" Hao Ren nodded affirmatively.

It's time to go to war with Chen Youliang! (To be continued.) )
