The hot summer days begin to fade, and the yellow leaves of autumn slowly take over the branches.

The former Baoding Army camp, now the garrison of the First Group Army in Beiye, 300,000 soldiers are still sweating to their heart's content, just to be able to fight for their own destiny......

Although Kitano's First Army has slowly been on the right track, it will definitely take a lot of time to really train. It may not take much time to train your combat skills, but it is not so easy to get familiar with the new rules in the early stage.

The first reorganization, according to Zhao Zhen's plan, should eventually select 100,000 soldiers. Thanks to the fact that they were all the most elite northern border troops of the Great Song Dynasty, otherwise the selection ratio would definitely not reach three to one.

Does this mean that there are no old, weak, sick and disabled people in the north, in fact, there were really a lot of old, weak, sick and disabled people at the border, but they were quickly eliminated by the harsh environment. Therefore, only about 20,000 people were selected from the 300,000 people, and it should be said that they were much luckier than those who no longer knew where the bones were buried.

These old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers, according to their own wishes, will be given subsidies to those who are willing to stay in the frontier. Those who were willing to return to Beijing also returned to the capital with the dart team that transported the equipment, and during this period, there were many people who were still able-bodied, and they also joined the team of the dart master. After the remaining more than 10,000 people arrived in the capital, they were also arranged into the security bureau and major workshops, for this population, Zhao Zhen said that there was no pressure to digest it at all, and even he had already calculated the whereabouts of the follow-up layoffs.

Zhao Zhen stared at the small red dot marked with Jingxi Industrial Park on the west side of the capital on the map, and looked forward to seeing the day when it grew up.

At this time, Ding Zhaohui's figure suddenly appeared in the palace and quickly approached the place where Zhao Zhen was.

"Minister, see the emperor!" Ding Zhaohui's voice of invitation woke up Zhao Zhen who was in a daze.

"Hurry up! You just came back and didn't have time to rest when I called me, don't blame me! Zhao Zhen turned around and said to him with a smile.

"Don't dare!" Ding Zhaohui suppressed the excitement in her heart, and rarely replied in a decent manner.

"Huh...... That's good! I just saw the flotilla back from the money, and I can't wait to find out how you're doing. Come, tell me about it......" Zhao Zhen sat in his place and beckoned to him.

Ding Zhaohui leaned forward with a smile and said a little embarrassed: "Back to the emperor, in fact, there is nothing to say, those goods are too weak, they are simply weak!" It took him three days to kill them all, and he didn't believe that we wanted his life until he died......"

Zhao Zhen is just more concerned about the result, as long as his own people are fine, as for how he killed people in the middle, he really didn't have time to listen to his bragging, so he directly picked up the things he cared about and asked, "Are there any fish that slipped through the net?" Is there any leakage? ”

"Back to the emperor, the minister guarantees that there will be no fish that have slipped through the net, and all seven hundred and fifty-one targets have been successfully killed! The battlefield was also cleaned repeatedly, leaving no clues for the Liao State, and those corpses were burned down by the ministers and their camps. ”

"Well, that's good! That's a good job! You've traveled a long way and worked hard, so go back and rest first! I'll give you ten days off, relax, and I'll send the reward to your camp later. ”

"Emperor Xie!"

"Holidays are holidays, but the rules should not be messed up, restrain your soldiers, let them not go crazy, otherwise I will have to clean you up! Let's go down! ”

"Obey! Be sure to watch those stinky boys! Retire! ”

For this thousand-mile attack, although Zhao Zhen asked for secrecy in advance, and the whole process tried to avoid news leakage, after all, so many people participated, and it slowly spread in the army after a long time. Of course, for these rumors, they are still at the stage of rumors, whether it is the royal special forces as the parties, or Zhao Zhen, or even Liao Guo did not make a statement on this matter in the end.

Hundreds of people suddenly died without a place to be buried, even if they were horse thieves, but such a big thing could not attract the attention of the Emperor of Liao. No country will inevitably have a group of spies and other forces, and Liao is no exception, otherwise the emperor of Liao may not be able to sleep well. Ding Zhaohui's mine warfare on Mameng Mountain also alarmed the nearby secret agents, but when they arrived at the scene of the incident, all they saw was a sea of fire.

When the news reached the ears of the Emperor of Liao, his two sons were also present and learned about it from the spies. The boss Yelu Zong really didn't think too much about this, thinking that it was just a fire from God, didn't it just burn a horse thief camp, and if it burned, it would burn. But the second Yelu Chongyuan was not so calm, he hurriedly found an excuse to leave the palace, and sent his own spies, but the result of bringing it back made him very mad, it was like working hard for several years, and he returned to before liberation.

Don't let the master know who did it, otherwise he will be cut by a thousand cuts!

Liao Shengzong is an emperor after all, unlike his two sons, he is more concerned about whether his throne is stable, whether his Great Liao State is stable or not, and whether there is any power that can threaten himself and his country. According to the report of his secret agent, there was an earth-shattering sound first, and then a raging fire rose into the sky, and no useful clues were found. But after being an emperor for many years, he has always had an incomprehensible intuition in his heart, and he always feels that things are not as simple as they seem.

So, Liao Shengzong stared at the case file on the table, which recorded the major and minor events that had happened during this period of time. Since the day of the incident, there have been no reports of any unusual conditions around Ma Mengshan...... No, the commander of the Yingkou Navy had a twist and turn: the speed of the fleet sent by the Song Dynasty far exceeded its own fleet, and it has not been able to catch up with the Song Dynasty fleet, so it can only be far behind.

Liao Shengzong didn't have time to care about how much face he had lost in this matter now, because when he saw this news, he always felt even stronger. So, he decided to summon this man named Usuchaha to ask.

Usu Chaha came to Liao Shengzong with a worried mood, knelt on the ground and trembled: "Sinner, see Your Majesty!" ”

Liao Shengzong didn't react at once, and was taken aback by Wu Su Chaha's exaggeration: "Get up and speak!" What are you doing here? ”

"The minister is guilty! The minister did not catch up with the fleet of the Song State, the minister lost your face, and also lost the face of my Great Liao State, please punish Your Majesty! "Usu Chaha has a good idea, hoping that his honest performance can impress the Liao Holy Sect, so that he can suffer less.

Liao Shengzong waved his hand at him without annoyance: "Don't say this beforehand!" I still have something to ask you, tell me about the Song fleet's journey, is there anything suspicious? ”

"Nope! Although the minister has not been able to catch up with their ship, it is not far behind, and the minister can basically see what they are doing......" Usuchaha said This suddenly stopped, he suddenly thought of something, and hesitated to know whether to say it or not.

"What's wrong? Keep talking! ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister just remembered something, I don't know if it is what you want, that is, when I first entered the Mameng Mountain Canyon, it happened to be late at that time. Generally speaking, when it gets dark, we will find a place to park the boat, and it is too easy to get out of danger when sailing at night. However, at that time, the fleet of the Song Kingdom was a little strange, not only did they not stop, but sailed into the night. It was only that time when they left the minister's sight, and the minister thought that they were worried about the safety of Ma Meng Mountain, so they passed through the Ma Meng Mountain Gorge overnight, and the minister didn't think much about it......

Liao Shengzong listened to Wusu Chaha's words, frowned, put one hand on the table and beat it irregularly, and after a while, he opened his eyes and saw Wu Su Chaha who was still kneeling, so he waved at him and asked him to go down first.

After that, Liao Shengzong put on the information he learned: at first, the little emperor of the Song State wanted to sign a disarmament agreement with him, and then the Song delegation was attacked at the foot of Ma Meng Mountain, and then he ordered the bandits, and then the Emperor of the Song State kindly sent money to the door, and it happened that the Song State fleet passed through Mameng Mountain not long after such a file happened...... So is there a connection? Why did an abandoned horse thief camp behave like this? What's the secret inside? Is it really as the boss said, this is a divine thunder sent down from heaven to punish sinners in the world?

Thinking like this, more and more questions came to the heart of Liao Shengzong, and he felt for a while that he had all kinds of thoughts but couldn't figure it out.

The investigation did not stop because of this, and this fear of ignorance prompted Liao Shengzong to want to know the truth even more, and he mobilized a lot of people to investigate the matter.

Of course, this will take a lot of time, and you may never be able to solve this mystery.

Therefore, Liao Shengzong set his sights on the fleet incident that made him lose face, he couldn't tolerate his own things being worse than those of the Song Kingdom, whether it was people or ships!

This is also something that Zhao Zhen never expected, because of the fact that Liao sent money to the door, it stimulated the development of Liao's shipbuilding technology and even Liao's navy.

Although there is no BUG like Zhao Zhen in Liao, we must not ignore the wisdom of working people. Under the high pressure of the Liao Emperor's orders, faced with the choice of life or death, the shipwrights of the Liao State and those related officials were overloaded with their brains. They do not have advanced theoretical guidance or guidance, but they have summarized a set of effective solutions by observing some common natural phenomena.

For example, now, in order to meet the requirements of the Liao emperor, the craftsmen of the Liao State increased the speed of the ships. They just imitated the fish, and changed the original flat-bottomed boat to a boat with a certain amplitude, and the head was also changed to a pointed one.

Not only that, but they also found that the boat was too high, and the effect of the wind in the water would be more obvious, so they also lowered the height of the boat. At the same time, in order to increase the force of the oars when they plucked the water, they increased the length and width of the oars. Although it may be more strenuous in this way, the speed of the ship is indeed considerable for a certain period of time.

In the years that followed, this short-lived and strange little clipper also left a trace of its figure in history - that is, the "mosquito boat".

Of course, this name was given to it by Zhao Zhen after he was lucky enough to see it.

As a traverser, Zhao Zhen's eyes are undoubtedly staring at the goal of "strong ships and sharp guns", and the vast sea is where his heart is. It is precisely because of this that this kind of small boat, which is only suitable for rivers or offshore waters, did not appear in his plans. But history is also so strange, it will still come when it should come, and if it doesn't come here, it will come there.

And these subtle changes in the Liao State, Zhao Zhen did not know for a while, even if he had already sent eyeliner to the Liao State, but in this era, there is no need to collect more comprehensive information.

Besides, Zhao Zhen has no experience to care about these things now. Because, the arrival of autumn also means that his big wedding in this world is also coming, and he and the entire Great Song Dynasty court and even the people are busy with this matter.

Arrange programs, decorate the imperial city, and receive envoys...... And so on, a series of things need a lot of people to worry about.

It is precisely because the emperor is about to get married, and then there is a sensation in the national scholars to take the imperial examination space, the Royal Academy specially took an early annual vacation this year. And these children who were on vacation also became the first batch of volunteers for the emperor's wedding, and they carried red scarves and brooms to sweep the entire main streets of the capital.

Families are also busy taking care of their houses, and red paper is also pasted on the door, and red lanterns are hung. It is rare to hear that in order to have fun with the people, the emperor has to inspect the streets on the afternoon of the wedding, and meet the people to pay homage.

When the people were busy, both sides of the royal avenue in front of the main gate of the palace were also busy playing the stage, and the troupes who came from all over the country were too busy to practice on the side first.

At the entrance of the palace, there was a group of people busy tinkering with a big gadget, which didn't look like a stage, and there were a few huge wheels......
