Chapter 100: The Giant Ship

Zhao Liangsi, also known as Ma Zhi, was a native of Yan (now the northern part of Hebei Province) in the late Liao State and the Northern Song Dynasty. In the first year www.biquge.info of Huizong (Zhao Ji) Zhenghe (1111), Tong Guan made Liao, because of the good Jurchen strategy of cutting Liao and taking Yan.

With the return of Guan, Tong Guan changed his name to Li Lianghei, was recommended to the court, Huizong summoned, and offered advice and said: "The Jurchen hates the Liao people to cut the bones, if the move to Zideng (now Penglai County, Shandong Peninsula) Lai (now Ye County, Shandong Province) wade the sea, marry the Jurchen, and about to attack Liao, the rejuvenation of the country can be mapped, the emperor (Song Huizong) Jianazhi, given the surname Zhao, thought that the secretary Cheng, Tu Yan's discussion began from here." Move to the Longtu Pavilion, mention the concept of longevity, and add the right Wendian to revise.

Xuanhe went to Jin seven times to agree with Agu to attack Liao, and added the official Guanglu doctor. Because of his opposition to the admission of Zhang Jue, he was cut from his post. In the first year of Jingkang (1126), Qinzong (Zhao Huan) was executed due to the southern invasion of Jin soldiers and Chenzhou (now Chenzhou City, Hunan Province).

Although Zhao Liangsi has a little bigger heart for fame and fortune, he is a rare person who understands in the late Northern Song Dynasty. Because he had stayed in the capital of the Liao State and the Song Kingdom, and had also seen the military strength of the Jin soldiers with his own eyes, the suggestions put forward were very pertinent and effective. It's just that he is just a courtier, even if what he says is true, as long as the emperor does not listen to him, he is helpless, and in the end he is executed by the resentful recitation court.

However, in the seventh year of Zhenghe, Zhao Liangsi was in high spirits and in the limelight, and the government and the opposition of the Song State were in a commotion because of his proposal to unite the Jin people to attack the Liao State. At this time, he would never have thought of his tragic fate in the future.

Not only did he not expect it, but a normal person would not have thought that the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty were so mediocre, and finally killed him in order to vent his anger. Who understands this kind of thing? Therefore, a person's destiny depends on his own struggle, but it must also be linked to the course of history.

In the autumn and July of the seventh year of Zhenghe, affected by the turmoil of the Liaojin War, there were Liaojizhou (near today's Tianjin) and said to be the Han'er Gao pharmacist and monk Langrong in Sufu Erzhou (that is, near today's Dalian), and floated to Wendeng County by boat. Perhaps knowing the reality of the Liao and Jin kingdoms from the fugitives, and being inspired by their way of fleeing, Song Tingfang remembered that he could cross the blockade of the Liao people by sea and contact the Jin country on the other side of the Bohai Sea.

On the afternoon of August 3, seven or eight generals were recruited by edict in the Dengzhou Guardian Division. On the 22nd, Ding Chou took the ship of the Ping Navy, guided by Gao Yaoshi, and went to visit the Jurchens together. When he arrived at the Jurchen on the north shore of the Bohai Sea, because the Jurchen patrol ships were very numerous, and several of them were victimized by the lawyers, they were so frightened that they stopped patrolling, and returned to Qingzhou on the third day of the first month of the eighth year of Zhenghe.

The failure of the first exploratory diplomacy did not extinguish the hopes of the Song people, and on April 27, the first year of Chonghe after the reform of the Yuan Dynasty, they sent Ma Zheng, a doctor of Wuyi, and Hu Yanqing, a soldier of the Ping Navy, to cross the sea to discuss matters with Gao Yaoshi and others in front of the Jurchen army. Ma Zheng, a doctor of Wuyi, crossed the sea from Dengzhou (now Penglai, Shandong) to Jin, and conveyed to Jin Taizu the Song Dynasty's intention of "wanting to make peace with Tongtong and jointly conquer Liao", and the two sides began to make formal contacts.

On the way back to Shandong, Ma Zheng, Gao Yaoshi and others were in a very good mood. In their opinion, their envoy was comparable to the Western Regions when Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty was in power, laying the foundation for the victory of the Great Song Dynasty. When the ship was moving on the sea, it was not afraid that the gong suddenly sounded on the ship.

"What happened?" Ma Zheng looked at the panicked sailors and said angrily: "What's the mess? Whoever makes a noise when there is nothing to do, be killed! ”

The sailor who was grabbed by Ma Zheng stammered in a frightened tone: "The ship..... Big Ship ....."

I know our ship is big, but I don't need to say it in this tone, okay? You're on this big boat, too!

The sailor was in a hurry, pointing desperately at the sea with his fingers, Ma Zheng turned his head to look, and his open mouth could no longer be closed.

On the surface of the sea, three five-toothed giant ships were full of sails, splitting the sea and speeding towards them. In fact, these three five-toothed sea ships are only six or seven hundred tons of tonnage, which is not too big. At least in Chen Cheng's eyes, it's like a toy.

However, in this era, such a huge ship is already a huge warship beyond human imagination.

"This ..... What the hell is this? Ma Zheng shouted, looked left and right, and said, "Could it be the sailor of the Liao people?" ”

No one has been able to answer this question. As we all know, neither the Liao nor the Jin were capable of building such a large warship, as for the Song State..... What they are riding on is the largest warship that the Song Kingdom has.

"Quick, quick, quick!" The ship was in a state of panic, and the sailors desperately spread their sails and rowed their oars, trying to leave the three terrifying greatswords behind. However, as time passed, the distance between the two sides was not widened, and the courage was decreasing step by step.

By about four o'clock in the afternoon, the two sides had reached a distance where the ballistas could shoot directly. Of course, this was only a one-sided shooting, and the two ships of the Song Kingdom did not have that kind of large ballista installed on them.

"Listen to the people in front, stop the boat immediately and accept the inspection, otherwise, we will attack!"

A hearty voice came from the sea, and after several miles of distance, it could still be heard clearly. On the ship of the Great Song Dynasty, the people who heard this all looked at each other, not knowing what to do. If you don't stop, the guys on the other side with bright weapons will seem to be coming for real.

But if they stop, will the other party kill them all? After killing someone on the sea, he threw it into the water, and the devil knows what happened.

"Hmph," a tall man with an extraordinary bearing snorted coldly, "Don't worry, my lord, I promise not to let a thief step on the boat!" ”

Well, Ma Zheng turned around, and at a glance he saw the majestic Yuan Thirteen Limit with a bow and arrow, and couldn't help but shout like a drowning man who had saved a straw: "Yuan Limit, can you really not let the thief come?" ”

Yuan Thirteen Limit, whose real name is Yuan Limit, is called Yuan Thirteen Limit because there are thirteen kinds of martial arts that have been practiced to the peak and practiced to the top. He is Wei Qingqing's fourth apprentice, and he was once known as the Four Great Catchers along with Zhuge Shenhou and others. After the new generation of the four famous catchers grew up, their previous generation naturally became the "old four famous catchers".

Yuan Yuan said proudly to Ma Zheng: "Don't worry, under Yuan's arrow, the thieves will die one by one, and two will die with a pair!" ”
