Chapter 103: Liaodong Rebellion

(Thanks to the book friend "Tears Falling Red Dust 5, asjkjkwahwag, haha Daxia King" for the reward!) Today is finally the end of the New Year's greetings, and there is one shift in the evening, and two shifts a day will be resumed from tomorrow! )

At the time when the Dengzhou Navy Division was building new ships step by step and training soldiers, the court in Bianliang, Tokyo, was making a pot of porridge, because the Yandi descended to Ma Zhi a few years ago, and now Zhao Liangsi is now giving the name Zhao Liangsi to put forward the strategy of "Lianjin attacking Liao".

In the seventh year of Zhenghe last year, Tong Guan, who had been controlling the Northwest Route Army, entered the Privy Council, making it possible for Zhao Liangsi's strategy of long-distance and close attack to be implemented.

At the beginning, Taizu set up a "sealing warehouse" for the recovery of Yanyun, and Taizong also made the second Northern Expedition, but suffered a defeat, and even Zhao Kuangyi himself suffered an arrow wound on the battlefield of the Northern Expedition, and finally collapsed due to the recurrence of the old injury.

For the original "Emperor" Shi Jingjiao ceded out of the sixteen states of Yanyun, there was the Song Dynasty, and he was not angry, but the Liao people in the north rode and shot sharply, and it was difficult to get his wish.

Now that the Jin State has been established, the troops have reached the Liao River, and most of the land in the east of Liaodong has been obtained.

For such remarks, Ximenqing, whose soul comes from later generations, naturally scoffed. If it is said that the Liao ** affair is already in decline and difficult to recover, then the corruption of the military system of the Great Song Dynasty is even more jaw-dropping.

A frivolous king who was very happy, a half-tone eunuch commander Tong Guan, and a group of ministers who boasted of "Fengheng Yuda", the so-called "Lianjin to destroy Liao" strategy was finalized in just two months, and an edict was sent to Dengzhou quickly, asking the Dengzhou sailors to escort the envoys to Liaodong to make an alliance.

In his opinion, the only benefit of this trip may be to create an opportunity for the newly built Dengzhou sailors to exercise at sea, if they can take advantage of the situation, the sea route connecting Dengzhou and Liaodong can be explored and understood, which is Ximenqing's greatest expectation for this mission.

According to the news from Tokyo, the envoy to Liao this time turned out to be two military ministers, the main envoy was Ma Zheng, the defense envoy of Dengzhou, and the deputy envoy was Hu Yanqing, the son of Hu Yanjia, the general of Beijing.

Ma Zheng's so-called Dengzhou defense envoy is a Jilu official of the sixth grade, neither in charge nor a fixed number, and can get this errand, but it is only because there is no civil servant in the court who is willing to go this way, and his person was recommended by Tong Guan and was selected by this privy envoy from the cronies of the Western Army.

For these two envoys, Ximenqing was not very interested, and now he was all about the sailors, after eliminating a number of flat-bottomed boats that were only suitable for inland navigation, the entire sailors were able to go to sea only five large ships with more than 1,000 materials, two of which were transformed from Goryeo merchant ships. Even if you count the ships under construction in the three dockyards of the wharf today, there are less than ten fingers. In this way, the ship materials accumulated over the years in the sailor's warehouse have been consumed.

The so-called ship material is not a stout timber cut directly from the mountains and forests, but requires a series of complex processes, and the whole process takes two or three years, so it is not available.

In order to solve the shortage of ship materials, on the one hand, Ximen Qing sent people to the nearby Denglai Prefecture to collect suitable ship materials to deal with the immediate situation, after all, these two military states are near the sea, and there are many coastal fishing villages, as long as they are willing to give up their goods, they can always collect some. On the other hand, two months ago, a large ship of the Dengzhou Navy Division had already gone south along the coastal road, carrying a shipload of goods to the south of the Yangtze River. Ximenqing gave a death order, and it was necessary to purchase sufficient suitable ship materials for this trip, and if possible, orders could be placed in many shipyards in Hangzhou and Mingzhou.

Looking at the coastal area of the Great Song Dynasty, only Hangzhou, Ming, Quan, Guangzhou four states of sea trade prosperous, there are countless private shipyards here, hundreds of sea ships are built every year, although they are all merchant ships, but as long as a little transformation, set up a strong bow and crossbow, make up the angle pedal, can be used as a war ship.

For Ximenqing, regardless of money, goods and manpower, the key is to build a strong maritime army in the shortest possible time. In the future, whether the whole family is far away from home, or struggling to survive in these last days, it will be indispensable.

"Benefactor, Yandi news!"

On this day, Ximenqing led a group of close subordinates to inspect the sailor wharf, just after noon, Dengzhou City direction galloped to ride, immediately a clever man, but in his early twenties, handsome, but Ximenqing pulled up the "iron call" Lehe.

This Le and a small prison in the Dengzhou prison camp, made a pipe of Xuantie Xiao, if you talk about martial arts, it is only ordinary, but shrewd and cautious, I don't know why, but a paper order was levied in the logistics office, and I really envy a group of former colleagues.

Lehe has such an experience, since Ximenqing knows his clever temperament from the "Water Margin", and now there are many fierce generals around him, but there are not many who can do some fine things, and this Lehe is also a rare talent.

Thanks to the grace of Ximen Qing's knowledge, Le He is wholeheartedly running for it, and the responsibility of contacting Ximen Qing with news from all over the world can be described as a key point.

After taking a letterhead in Le He's hand and checking that the surroundings were intact, Ximen Qing tore it open, took out the letter paper and looked at it carefully.

But it turned out that there was nothing wrong in the land of Yanyun, but a great famine occurred in more than ten state capitals south of the Liao River.

In recent years, the Liao State has been defeated and retreated from the Jurchen conquest, coupled with the increasingly cold climate in the north, under the urging of the two phases, the national strength has become more and more declining, and the government has no ability to provide relief.

Dou rice can be exchanged for two or three women, and 100 stones of grain can lead thousands of people to fight.

Only the last two sentences of the letter show the chaos of the current situation in Liaodong and the tragedy of the people.

"Zhu Biao, hurry up and look for flowers!"

Now Ximen Qing and his subordinates, everyone has a title, but the three brothers of the Zhu family are still by their side, and they should run errands to support affairs every day, and they all call these three brothers. These three brothers know that their martial arts are not as good as Hua Rong and others, and they are not experienced enough, so they can be regarded as a workout by Ximenqing's side at this time, and they have their own future in the future, so they don't have to be too careful.

After a while, Hua Rong, who was dressed in water, came by horse, and he was training a group of sailors and soldiers, and when he heard the news of Zhu Biao, he immediately threw down what he was doing and rushed over.

"Liaodong is in turmoil, but it is the time for us to take care of the matter, and the Dengzhou sailors immediately set off to transport grain to the north! I don't want anything else on this trip, but there are good horses, no matter how many, they are all bought! ”

"All the sailors are going north, and the imperial court is rushing to Jin, if there are no boats, wouldn't it be troublesome?"

"The envoy will not arrive for at least a month, and there will be a new sea ship launched on Ye Chun's side at that time, so there is no danger that there will be no boats available."

The entire Shandong Hebei and even Tokyo Bianliang, Ximenqing have news exchanges, and they know the behavior of Ma Zheng, Hu Yanqing and others, so they naturally have already made arrangements.

"Take care of the benefactor, Hua Rong will definitely live up to the trust!"
