Chapter 877: The unwilling Zhao Hao
"What? There is going to be a war in Nanyang, what is the matter with King Guan Ben? Zhao Hao sat down angrily and shouted at Xing Shu with a flushed face.
It was not easy for him to 'pacify' the war here in Yuezhou, although in fact he did not make any efforts, and the war all relied on Hu Yanping and these generals, but nominally he was sitting here, so he always had some credit, and while Yuezhou had just been pacified, he was also trying to take the opportunity to cultivate his own forces here, but he didn't expect that a paper from the imperial court would let him go to Malacca in Nanyang, because the Nanyang Port of the Great Song Dynasty and the Masheng Port belonging to the Turen Kingdom next to it broke out in war, and he needed to go to the town.
"Your Highness, the war over there in Nanyang really has nothing to do with us, but the imperial court just let His Highness sit in charge, on the surface, this is a credit to His Highness, but in fact it is very meaningful, I suspect that King Yue has guessed our intention to meddle in Yuezhou, so he wants to use this method to transfer us away!" Xing Shu also frowned at this time and analyzed.
"It is very likely that there was no warning of the war in Nanyang Port in advance, and there was no news from the court in advance. Zhao Hao also gritted his teeth when he heard this.
In fact, Zhao Hao guessed well, the war in Nanyang Port would not have broken out so soon, just to transfer Zhao Hao out of Yuezhou as soon as possible, so Zhao Yan could only let people start the war in advance, and then asked Su Song and others to recommend Zhao Hao to sit in the court, after all, this is also a military event, if there is no enough person to go to the town, the court will not rest assured. So in this case, although the Empress Dowager Gao was a little reluctant, it was not easy to refuse. In the end, I had to agree to let Zhao Hao run.
"Xing Zuosi, we finally gained a foothold in Yuezhou temporarily, and we are about to open up the situation, if we leave now, won't all the previous efforts be in vain, do you have any good ways to do this?" At this time, Zhao Hao was a little unwilling again.
"This ......" Xing Shu couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard Zhao Hao's. After a long while, he said helplessly, "Your Highness, if the imperial court only lets you go to Nanyang Port alone, Xia Guan can still stay in Yuezhou instead of you, but this time the imperial court ordered our entire pacification mission to go to Nanyang Port instead, and Xia Guan, as a deputy envoy, will definitely go together, and we don't have any trustworthy people here in Yuezhou, so Xia Guan has nothing to do!" ”
Seeing that Xing Shu was also helpless, Zhao Hao couldn't help but slap his thighs heavily. His face was full of unwillingness, in order to be able to open up the situation in Yuezhou, he was almost caught by Li Qiande's rebels before, and later Xing Shu persuaded him to give up here, but he was unwilling to stay, and finally waited until the rebellion in Yuezhou was quelled, Li Gande was also caught by Hu Yanping and cut off his head, he thought that he could settle down in Yuezhou with peace of mind. But he didn't expect Zhao Yan to play such a hand for him again.
Zhao Hao and Xing Shu were relatively speechless, and after a while. Zhao Hao woke up from the silence at this moment, and then saw him suddenly sneer and said: "It's just a transfer, anyway, Yuezhou has not started to arrange here, and it's not a pity to give up, I heard that the development of Nanyang Port is also very fast, and it is far away from the Great Song Dynasty." Maybe it's more convenient for us to meddle in the local situation! ”
Hearing Zhao Hao's words that seemed to be disdainful and seemed to cheer him up, Xing Shu couldn't help but smile bitterly again, in fact, he had long lost hope about meddling in the affairs of Nanyang, because he had miscalculated before, thinking that after Zhao Yan left the south. will reduce his control over Nanyang, but it wasn't until not long ago that he discovered that Zhao Yan's control of Nanyang was far beyond his estimate, so he persuaded Zhao Hao to give up his plan to meddle in Nanyang at that time, but unfortunately Zhao Hao was guilty of a donkey's temper and refused to listen no matter what.
As for Zhao Hao's idea of starting to fight Nanyang Port again, he is even more hopeless, because Zhao Yan can transfer them from Yuezhou, and he can naturally use the same method to transfer them from Nanyang Port in the future.
A few days later, Zhao Hao left Yuezhou with great reluctance, took a boat all the way south, and finally came to Nanyang Port, the area around Malacca has been set up as Malacca Prefecture, Nanyang Port is the seat of this state, the responsibility of the Zhizhou surname Wang, not very old, he used to be a student of Zhao Yan, so he was very trusted by Zhao Yan.
Wang Zhizhou and Wu Meng, the naval general stationed there, immediately brought people to greet them after learning the news of Zhao Hao's arrival, but when Zhao Hao saw Wang Zhizhou's civil and military officials, he didn't have a good face, because he knew that these people were all his third brother Zhao Yan's people, don't look at them on the surface so polite to him, but if they violated Zhao Yan's interests, they would definitely make a stumbling block behind their backs.
After eating the reception banquet, Zhao Hao and Xing Shu returned to the accommodation arranged for him by Wang Zhizhou to rest, but at this moment, they suddenly saw someone coming to report: "Your Highness, someone outside asks to see you, saying that it is your junior!" ”
"Junior?" Zhao Hao couldn't help but feel a little strange when he heard this, and Xing Shu next to him was also stunned, you must know that the person who can be Zhao Hao's junior should at least be a royal family, but here is 108,000 miles away from the capital, how can there be any juniors?
"Let him in!" Zhao Hao said immediately, he wanted to see who this junior was?
"Second uncle, I didn't expect you to come to Nanyang Port too, and my nephew has greeted you!" Zhao Jia walked in with a smile, and then saluted Zhao Hao in the living room, he knew the news that Zhao Hao was coming, although he knew that Zhao Hao and his father did not have a good relationship, but anyway, the other party was also his own uncle, so he couldn't be rude.
"Good ...... Brother Jia, why are you here? Suddenly seeing Zhao Yan's eldest son Zhao Jia appear in front of him, Zhao Hao couldn't help but be shocked, he didn't know about Zhao Jia's entry into the Naval Academy to study, so naturally he couldn't have thought that he would meet Zhao Jia here.
"Hehe, it's a coincidence, my nephew is here to study!" Zhao Jia said and told him about joining the Naval Academy and interning in the Navy, originally according to their plan, the drill in Nanyang should have ended a long time ago, but seeing that the Great Song Dynasty and the Saqi Kingdom were about to break out into war, such a good opportunity for actual combat, the instructor led by the Naval Academy naturally would not miss it, so he temporarily changed the itinerary and planned to go back after the war was over.
"I see, I said that among the people who came to greet me today, why are there people from the Naval Academy here, so you are here." Zhao Hao couldn't help but say a little abruptly when he heard Zhao Jia's explanation, during today's reception banquet, Wang Zhizhou introduced the people who greeted him, including the instructor of the Naval Academy, but he didn't pay much attention to it at that time.
"Hehe, Second Uncle, you are finally here, during this time, our navy has had several conflicts with the people of the Sazi Kingdom, but we have endured it without a big war, and now as soon as the Second Uncle comes, we can launch an attack on the Sazi Kingdom!" Zhao Jia said very excitedly at this time, after all, this is also the first time he has faced a war, in fact, not only him, but also Yang Shiliang's students are also more excited.
Hearing Zhao Jia mention the war that he was transferred into, Zhao Hao was not in a good mood, but he was not embarrassed by Zhao Jia, so he changed the topic and said: "Brother Jia, the sea is so dangerous, and the navy is constantly facing various threats, your father is so relieved to let you come to study at the Naval Academy?" ”
"Of course my father didn't agree at the beginning, but my mother was born in a general's house, which is more open than my father, so I first persuaded my mother, and then let my mother convince my father, so I finally entered the Naval Academy." Zhao Jia sat down with a smile and took a sip of tea, and then chatted with Zhao Hao, although Zhao Hao didn't like Zhao Yan, but since Zhao Jia took the initiative to visit him, he was also very lively on the surface, and asked some about Zhao Jia's life during this time.
After chatting for nearly an hour, Zhao Jia got up to say goodbye, and then Zhao Hao personally sent him out of the door, and after Zhao Jia left, Xing Shu suddenly spoke: "Your Highness, the prince of the Yue Wang family is also here, can we make some articles from it?" ”
As soon as Xing Shu's words came out, Zhao Hao glared at him and said: "Don't think about this, I understand the character of my third brother, and it's nothing for us to do something out of the ordinary in other things, but if we find the idea to his children, if we let him know, with his character of protecting the calf, it will be an endless situation, and the brotherhood between me and him will no longer be useful, so this kind of thing is worth the loss, don't think about it anymore." ”
Hearing Zhao Hao's words, Xing Shu also thought of some rumors about Zhao Yan's character, and he couldn't help but be shocked at the moment, thinking that he was really confused, fortunately Zhao Hao could still stay sober, otherwise he would really annoy Zhao Yan, let alone him, I'm afraid even Zhao Hao would not end well.
The navy on the side of Nanyang Port has already been mobilized, and it is also imperative for Masheng Port of the Saqi Kingdom, so after Zhao Hao arrived, Wu Meng immediately asked Zhao Hao for instructions to take the initiative, and Zhao Hao also knew that he was just a name, and he couldn't command Wu Meng's navy at all, so even if he didn't want to take the initiative to attack, Wu Meng and they could also create an incident to force the Sazi Kingdom to do it, so they didn't bother to bother anymore, and directly agreed to Wu Meng's request and ordered the navy to launch an attack on Masheng Port.
With Zhao Hao's order, hundreds of naval warships gathered came out of Nanyang Port like tigers out of the cage, and sailed towards Masheng Port in the Saqi Kingdom, and a big war was about to break out! (To be continued.) )
