Zhao Zhen came to the camp of the royal special forces in a light car, without alarming the others, Ding Zhaolan and Ding Zhaohui, the two brothers, only knew when Zhao Zhen arrived at the door, and hurried out to greet them.
"Your Majesty, why don't you give an order in advance! I'm here to greet you! Ding Zhaolan's two brothers came to Zhao Zhen together, and before Ding Zhaolan could speak, his lively brother opened his mouth first.
"How? Zhaohui: Is this something that I shouldn't see if I see it in a surprise inspection? Are you lazy again? Zhao Zhen looked at the twins in front of him, only by their personalities can they tell who is who, the rules are the boss, it seems that Jiao Erlang is the little brother, he relies on this every time to separate.
"Your Majesty, how can you say it again! I haven't been lazy a few times! It's not bad luck that you get caught every time, you can't blame me! Ding Zhaohui smiled and gaged with Zhao Zhen.
"Alright! Shut your mouth. Ding Zhaolan dragged his younger brother away from Zhao Zhen: "Your Majesty, he has this stinky problem, don't bother with him." Do you think you are going to the camp tent or to see the soldiers training? ”
"I won't look at their training this time, go to the camp first, and then you will send someone to guard it, no one is allowed to enter without permission, I have some top secret things to talk to you about!"
"It's the emperor, please!" Ding Zhaolan stretched out her hand forward and showed Zhao Zhen the way, not forgetting to give her brother a kick: "What are you still doing?" Go ahead and do it! ”
Isn't it an hour older than himself to look like a boss, what's the big deal! Ding Zhaohui muttered as she arranged the guards in a hurry.
Zhao Zhen saw Ding Zhaohui walk in after arranging, so he instructed Xiao Shunzi to take out his map and spread it on the table.
Subsequently, Zhao Zhen also sent Xiao Shunzi out, and there were only three brothers Zhao Zhen and Ding Zhaolan left in the camp. Only then did he point to the place of Ma Mengshan and said to the two brothers: "Last year, I was attacked on the way back from the mission, and I must have heard about it, although I sent a note to the Liao State to exterminate those horse bandits, but unfortunately, those horse bandits are still at large. Therefore, this will of mine can only be fulfilled by you, do you have faith? ”
"Guaranteed to complete the mission!" The two of them habitually saluted, and they didn't think about it.
"Really? So tell me what you plan to do? Zhao Zhen looked at the two of them playfully.
The two of them had a big red face, and they didn't know what to do for a long time, but in the end, Ding Zhaohui had a flexible brain, and kicked the ball back: "The emperor is wise and martial!" What do you say, do it! ”
"Now that time is pressing, I won't embarrass you, I'll just talk about my thoughts, and you can improve it yourself. You have also seen that Ma Mengshan is thousands of miles away from my Great Song Dynasty, and you have to go deep into the Liao Kingdom, and you have to go through countless checkpoints in the middle. But this will be too difficult, and I still hope that you can bring good news before my wedding, so I only have half a year for you.
In addition, according to intelligence, the combat power of this horse bandit is not low, and they still have more than 700 people. To be on the safe side, you must not send too few men. I have thought about it for a long time, and there is only one way to hide it, and that is to let you be mixed up in this year's team to send New Year's gifts to Liao. In order to facilitate your operation, I decided to send a note to the Liao State, telling them that this year I have decided to send money to the door in order to thank the Liao Emperor for his cooperation with the disarmament. ”
Seeing that the two brothers were still puzzled, Zhao Zhen moved his finger to the Da Liao River: "You two come to see, it is this Da Liao River that gives us another choice!" ”
"Your Majesty, you mean let's take the waterway?"
"That's right, I've been training for many days with the new river defense fleet, and we've built more than 50 new warships. In this operation, I deliberately transferred ten warships, that is, a river defense squadron to cooperate with your actions, and it was also a test for them. When the time comes, you hide your weapons on the ship, and the defenders of the Liao State will not find out anything, and when you arrive at the place of Mamengshan, you will find an opportunity to get off the ship and carry out your mission, and when the fleet returns, you will return together. That's the general plan of mine, you refine it yourself, and I will order the captain of the fleet to cooperate with you. In addition, I have given you 200 grenades and 100 mines, use them with caution and do not leave them behind! ”
"Obey the order!" Ding Zhaolan and the two brothers replied at the same time.
Zhao Zhen finished the arrangement and left by himself, leaving the two brothers who were messy in the wind. Faced with the same task, the expressions of the two brothers were diametrically opposed, the elder brother was frowning and meditating, and the younger brother was jubilant and excited.
It is said that these twins should be the most similar people in all aspects, but the reality is not the case, many twins seem to have different preferences in all aspects except for their appearance. Ding Zhaolan belongs to the kind of person who is well-behaved, benevolent and righteous, and kind-hearted. And his younger brother Ding Zhaohui has a lively and cheerful personality, is cheerful, has a strong sense of humor, and he doesn't speak well, he likes to be naughty since he was a child.
It is this difference in personality that causes the elder brother to ponder carefully after receiving the task, while the younger brother thinks about the grenades and mines given by the emperor. Although Zhao Zhen has always paid attention to secrecy, and the use of these thermal weapons is carried out in secret on a small scale, Ding Zhaohui still got a lot of content from Han Zhang and Xu Qing, and he has been yearning for these two things for a long time.
"Brother, aren't there just a few little thieves, aren't they just a little farther away, don't you have to be so sad!" Ding Zhaohui patted her brother on the shoulder and said.
"You just can't talk but have a brain, there are hundreds of people, even if it's a few hundred pigs, you can't kill them for half a day! Seriously, will you go or will I go this time? "Don't look at him teaching his younger brother a lesson on his brother's shelf, as soon as he speaks, he exposes his true nature.
Of course, this can't all be blamed on his underestimation of the enemy, who let him hear that the more than 20 people escorted at that time overturned more than 200 people on the other side. Think about who you are? I'm a dignified Song special combat team, and my combat strength can throw off the forbidden army for several streets, and killing those thieves is not a matter of being caught!
As soon as he saw Ding Zhaohui's sparkling eyes, he knew that he didn't plan to play Kong Rongrangli's game: "Brother, you are my own brother!" This has to be given to my brother, and if I continue to train so boringly, I'm going to go crazy, brother, please......"
"Haven't you always been haunted by the fact that you are an hour younger than me? There will be something to ask me to know that I am called brother! Why did you go earlier? Ding Zhaolan turned her face aside, too lazy to look at his shameless expression.
"Brother, aren't I still young! As long as you leave this matter to me, I promise that I will not contradict you in the future! Ding Zhaohui persevered and vowed to continue shamelessly to the end.
"What did you say?"
"I said it!"
The two of them were really twins, and they both had wicked smiles on each other's faces.
"Okay! I'll let you go this time, but only send you fifty brothers, you still have to do things beautifully, you can't let those people say that we eat well, use it well, but drop our pants at a critical time, do you have confidence? ”
"Report to the captain, my confidence is great!"
After a month, after the communication between the Song and Liao sides, the water transportation plan of the year was finally determined, and the Song Dynasty would be responsible for transporting the year along the Liao River waterway to Yongzhou of the Liao State for handover. Song Liao's annual gift at this time has reached 300,000 yuan, and the copper coins have always been about ten catties, and the total amount of this batch of money is about three million catties, that is, 1,500 tons.
Zhao Zhen also took into account the weight of this batch of money, so he decided to send ten dragon turtle warships. According to the design of this batch of dragon turtle warships, it is about 30 meters long, about 5 meters wide at the end and at the end, and about 8 meters wide in the middle, which can carry more than 100 soldiers and carry about 200 tons. In this way, ten ships can barely be completed, and in addition to the necessary pilots and escort sailors, it is also possible to carry off the special operators and their equipment.
Let's say that since the sailor camp received this mission, it has also bloomed, and the training has been forced for more than half a year, and I usually play a few times back and forth in the Yellow River at the door of my home, and I haven't even touched the shadow of the sea. finally caught up with this opportunity to go far away, but the emperor only sent a squadron to go, so there was nothing to say, everyone had to see the real chapter under their hands.
The naval army under the command of Chong Shiheng temporarily has 20 squadrons, each squadron is equipped with ten warships, carrying 500 sailors and marines, which means that a ship is a squad and the smallest unit of water warfare. After some inspiring competition, the twenty squadron leaders finally became a squadron leader named Huo Dafeng, as for why he was called Huo Dafeng, it is estimated that it was because he was born with a strong wind, and his father was too lazy to think of a name (the level is also limited). This family lives in Tongzhou (probably at the mouth of the Yangtze River), and it can be said that he grew up drinking the water of the Yangtze River and eating fish from the East China Sea.
Now it can be said that everything is ready, only the east wind is owed, Ding Zhaohui and five squads of special combat personnel disguised as sailors scattered on ten warships, and the weapons and equipment are also properly hidden, and they can set off after loading the money.
Money, what a good-sounding thing!
But it is by no means the idea of this group of sailors in front of them, anyone who jumps up and down against hundreds of pounds of copper plates back and forth will not think it is good! Of course, the key reason is that the money is not their own no matter how they move.
After a thousand sailors fought hard and spent a whole morning, they finally loaded all the money onto the ship, and they were as tired as dead dogs. When Huo Dafeng saw this situation, he simply finished lunch and went on the road, but this departure ceremony alone was delayed for a day, and the fleet left the dock when the sun was setting west, drifting along the Yellow River......
On the top of the hill of the Royal Academy, eleven or twelve-year-old Wei Pu also sat there stupidly for a day, watching the busy soldiers on the edge of the Yellow River frowning, and occasionally bowing his head and writing on the ground. In this way, he did not eat or drink all day, and when the sun finally set and the fleet left, he also slowly stood up, and his face was full of satisfied smiles.
......The cry from his stomach called Wei Pu back to reality, he touched his shriveled belly, glanced at the smokeless cafeteria in the distance, and swayed down the hill in frustration.
"Brother Park, why did you come here, I've been looking for you for a day, and I haven't seen you go to dinner at noon or night, so I know you must not have eaten again! Now, I've left you a meal, come and eat! A little girl with a flying fairy bun on her head ran to Wei Pu and blocked him, her little face was red, she held the lunch box in her hands and stretched out in front of him, looking at him with a longing expression.
"Yikes! It's a ghost! Scared me, it's better to be glamorous, I'm so hungry that my chest is against my back. Wei Pu was not polite, and the little girl grabbed the lunch box in her hand and began to eat it violently.
"Ahem" Wei Pu ate too much and choked accidentally.
The little girl hurriedly patted him on the back: "Brother Park, you drink some water first, eat slowly, no one will rob you!" ”
"Hey, hey!" Wei Pu just smirked twice, and continued to bury his head in the lunch box.
Zhao Zhen has been in the Song Dynasty for more than ten years, and there are many things that he has not been able to change, but there are also many people and things that have changed because of him.
Take this Wei Pu as an example, his fate in history is not good, it should be said that it is very bad, but he was born in a civilian but he has loved astronomy and mathematics since he was a child, and whenever he borrows books in this area, he always can't put it down and devotes all his energy to reading. Due to the poverty of the family, they had to work during the day to support the family, and they could only study at night.
Over time, the dim oil lamp severely damaged his eyesight, causing Wei Pu to be blind in his 30s. Since then, he has made a living by divination.
Zhao Zhen didn't know the birth time of this Northern Song Dynasty bull at first, and in line with the principle of casting a wide net and focusing on capture, he asked the people of the Secret Disc Division to turn over all the people he remembered, but fortunately, Wei Pu did not change his name before he turned it out. Of course, he also got rid of his original fate, and his family also arranged to work in the weapons workshop, and never had to live a precarious life again. He did not live up to Zhao Zhen's expectations, and was obsessed with all kinds of books all day long, and he was also deeply valued by Wang Shenli. Although it has only been a few years, he has completed the basic knowledge at the Royal Academy, and his academic performance has always been among the best, and he is also well-known in the Royal Academy.
The little girl who followed Wei Pu in front of her, named Bao Nimei, is not an outsider, she is Bao Zheng's big girl. As Zhao Zhen's confidant, Bao Zheng's fate has naturally changed very much, and her big girl is the best example, and it is in response to Zhao Zhen's call that Bao Zheng sent his big girl to the Royal Academy.
Thanks to this girl, the number of times Wei Pu, a guy who forgot to sleep and eat when he read a book, was starved sharply.
