Chapter 759: Asking for Yue Yue
readx;
Wu Wencai's worries are not unreasonable, the International Exhibition is about to open, and there are even rumors that the Son of Heaven is going to come to Quanzhou in person, and now there are people from the vassal kingdoms, if there is a big fight, on the one hand, it will affect the vassal country's view of the Great Song Dynasty, on the other hand, it will inevitably neglect the exhibition. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info(w/w/w..).. Now that the exhibition has reached this realm, how can he suddenly conquer the Great Yue Kingdom?
Yang Guo slapped his thigh and said: "Lord Wu's worries are not unreasonable, but since Da Yue Guo dares to plot against me in Quanzhou, as His Royal Highness said, if I don't give punishment, then how can I be powerful in Da Song?" ”
Ma Yinglong, who had been sitting silently on the side without squeaking before, suddenly said: "If Your Majesty is serious about coming to Quanzhou, I am afraid that this grand event will be delayed for some time, and the top priority is not to quarrel about this, but the lower officials think that now many feudal countries have seen the domestic silver flowing into my Great Song Dynasty, and many people have already bred complaints. When dealing with the vassal countries, kindness and righteousness are required, but you must not blindly give grace, and you must establish authority when you should establish authority. However, the lower official had a bold sentence to ask Commander Yang, can the sailor be dispatched immediately? If you want to go on an expedition, how much will you need? If it is too much, it can only be allocated by the imperial court, so God knows how many days it will be delayed. There is another thing, since it is Liwei, the progress must be fast, if the battle situation is unlucky, or it has not been able to stop for a long time, it is not Liwei, it is weaker than others. ”
Yang Guo replied seriously: "The supply is good to say, the ships will always bring food from the South Seas, the food and socks are enough, the bows and arrows, ballistas and gunpowder on the running ship are also enough, the soldiers have practiced for two years, although they have no experience in battle, but they are all tigers and wolves, according to my estimate, as long as it goes well, it will only take half a month from Quanzhou to Zhancheng, and then lead the army north, if it goes well, at most within ten days can surround the capital of Dayue Thang Long......"
Wu Wencai interrupted Yang Guo seriously and said, "But what if you can't reach Shenglong City within ten days?" ”
Yang Guo said angrily: "If it is said that it is ten days, it is ten days, and I am willing to lead the army with a warrant, and I will never go to the pool on a business trip." ”
Wu Wencai said coldly: "Commander Yang is too hesitant and full of ambition. ”
Seeing that the Yiwen and Wuwu in Quanzhou City were about to quarrel, Shen Ao finally spoke and interrupted them: "Ten days is enough, the sailor has practiced for so long, he should also take it out and give it a try, even if he loses, this will be borne by this king." ”
Yang Guo's heart stirred, and he said: "With His Highness's words, the sailors are happy to accept the order. ”
Ma Yinglong said calmly: "Why did you land from Champa first? As far as Xia Guan knows, this city is 300 miles away from Thang Long, so why not find another good port? ”
At this time, Shen Ao also regretted a little, if the governorate of the Dayue Kingdom was closer to the capital of the Dayue Kingdom, this expedition would be much easier, but at that time, economic factors had been taken into account, so the governorate was set up in the Saigon area of South Vietnam in later generations. Seeing that Yang Guo was about to speak, Shen Ao answered for him first, and said with a smile: "Zhancheng was once the royal capital of Zhanguo, and later Li Gongyun led an army of 30,000 to the south to annex Zhanguo, and slaughtered tens of thousands of people in Zhancheng, so if you conquer here first, the resistance in the city will definitely be reduced to the minimum, and then take Zhancheng as a foothold, and the Northern Expedition will be much easier." Ma Yinglong suddenly realized, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Xia Guan never thought of this. ”
Shen Ao was silent for a moment, his eyes were gloomy, and he said: "This matter is so decided, Lord Wu, you used to work in the Ministry of Rites, and you will handle the affairs of this battle table, Master Ma also has to work hard, and Quanzhou still needs you to take care of it." As for this king, three days later, he led the sailors to go on an expedition, and this battle was a battle in which our Great Song Dynasty exalted its prestige to all countries; If you lose, you will lose everything, and the policy of maritime politics will be ruined; If you win, you will return to the heart of the South Seas, and all states will sincerely surrender. ”
Wu Wencai said: "Since you want to go on an expedition, why do you need to go to war?" Why don't you block the news first, and then surprise the city first. "Wu Wencai is indeed a thick-skinned and black-hearted old bureaucrat, and what he said just now is still righteous and awe-inspiring, bitter and full of benevolence, righteousness and morality. But seeing that war was inevitable, he immediately became eager to play tricks.
Shen Ao smiled faintly and said, "I'm a 100,000 sailor, if I want to break the Great Yue Kingdom, it's just a matter of hitting tired eggs with stones, why do you need to play such a trick?" This time I want the world to see how the combat power of my sailor is! ”
After some discussion, the three of them got up and said goodbye, today's meeting, but Shen Ao was impressed by Ma Yinglong, Shen Ao deliberately left Ma Yinglong, Ma Yinglong sat sideways and looked at Shen Ao, expecting Shen Ao to speak.
Shen Fu took a sip of tea first, and said with a smile: "Is the Ma Governor's Mansion the same Jinshi's background? ”
Ma Yinglong said: "Yes, the four years after the establishment of the Yasukuni in the same land. ”
Shen Ao bowed his head and sighed: "Four years after the establishment of Yasukuni, so many years have passed, Brother Ma is still a prefect, which is really a pity." ”
If it is nonsense to say that Ma Yinglong has no political ambitions, he has always been sailing against the current, everyone wants to be fast, Shen Ao's sigh happened to say Ma Yinglong's heart, Ma Yinglong said insincerely: "The lower officials have no strengths, and it is a blessing to be able to shepherd one side." ”
Shen Ao shook his head and said in a tone of lesson: "What you said is very ugly, the man's husband, since he has entered the official career, he should be promoted step by step, how can he be complacent?" However, having said that, you are also a person of this king, in the court, there are a lot of good positions this king can recommend to you, do you know, why this king still keeps you in Quanzhou? ”
Ma Yinglong couldn't guess Shen Ao's intentions, and said after a moment of silence:
"I don't know."
Shen Ao Zhengse said: "The current situation in Quanzhou is the king's own improvement, just like the king's own child, not to show the slightest mistake, in exchange for someone else to fill the vacancy of the Ma prefect's mansion, the king is not at ease, so the king has left his selfish intentions, and has always left the Ma prefect in this office." ”
Shen Ao's tone, the meaning of trust was very obvious, Ma Yinglong's butt unconsciously slipped off the chair, and said: "Your Highness is so trusted, how dare the lower officials have any complaints?" Even if the lower official fights for his life, he must also give His Royal Highness a good look at this family, Ma is here, and Quanzhou is there. ”
Shen Ao sometimes thinks it's immoral to pretend to fool people with a straight face, as a boss, why do you always like to fool people and work hard, if the subordinates are all donkeys, it would be enough, hanging a big carrot and being in front of you is enough, why do you need to pretend to say so many thoughtful words that seem to be bitter?
But what should be done is still to be done, but Shen Ao is even more exaggerated when he does this kind of thing, he stood up, walked quickly to Ma Yinglong, wrapped his hands around Ma Yinglong's shoulders, and wanted to help Ma Yinglong get up, then took Ma Yinglong's hand and rubbed it, and finally said in a very emotional tone: "Ma Zhifu has worked hard for a few years, and then the king will have another place." ”
Ma Yinglong thanked him for his kindness, Shen Ao raised his chin slightly, and only after he felt that his eyes had a lot of emotion did he look at Ma Yinglong and said, "Everything is entrusted to Master Ma." ”
The city of Quanzhou has begun to run at high speed, and the groups of sailors on the street suddenly fade like a tide and disappear in an instant. Later, dozens of lieutenants appeared in the residence of the king of Dayue and were ordered to take care of it, and the king of Dayue, Li Gongyun, was directly placed under house arrest, and the prefect's yamen also posted a proclamation, saying that he had taken the rebellious party and wanted to be tried in public. This incident has stirred up the unquiet Quanzhou.
The busiest is of course Wu Wencai, Wu Wencai is a person from the Ministry of Rites, and he is the best at writing expressions, and he wrote a letter to ask for Yue Yue overnight and sent it to Shen Yu to see, Shen Ao saw it, changed a few words, and finally it was done, but the real trouble is not this, but a group of visitors. These guests have vassal kings of vassal countries, there are envoys, I heard that the Xingyue business house was suddenly seized, in fact, the royal families of various countries have a little business in Quanzhou, and now the business of the Yue people is said to be destroyed, who knows if it will fall on their heads next time?
In addition, the king of Dayue was placed under house arrest, although the king of Dayue has always been empty-eyed in the Nanyang area, and has repeatedly used weapons in vain, but the vassal kings of various countries will inevitably give birth to the heart of the rabbit and the fox, and the Great Song Dynasty said that house arrest will be house arrest, who will dare to come to Quanzhou in the future?
There are those who are nervous, there are those who want to spy on the specific details, and some are just good things, one after another, like a marquee, Wu Wencai can only say over and over again that there is no comment, or that the matter of the king of Dayue will soon be revealed to the world.
His words are naturally not satisfactory, but the vassal kings are not uninteresting people, seeing Wu Wencai's worried look, he had to leave first, but in private, there are already vassal kings who are dissatisfied. The Great Song Dynasty once promised them to ensure the safety of their royal family, but now whether peace can be guaranteed or not, they are taking people at will, how can this be convincing?
In addition, the movement of the sailor side is also suspicious, it is said that more than 30 sailors along the coast are more urgent, and one ship after another is moored at the sailor's dock, you can clearly see many people loading grain, fresh water, herbs, and even boxes of arrows and gunpowder into the ships. Every move in Quanzhou indicates that there will be a big event.
In the streets and alleys, there were also discussions about these many unusual actions, and it was not until the prefect's yamen opened the trial that the truth was finally revealed.
The king of Dayue tried to attack Quanzhou, if it weren't for those Yue people who confessed in person, I am afraid that everyone would think that this kind of thing is similar to the Arabian Nights, but now it is not the courage of the king of Dayue that is being talked about a lot, but how the Great Song Dynasty plans to deal with it, or what kind of choice the king of Pingxi will make.
