Li Richao had to be vigilant, Cai You's words were actually not unreasonable, he groaned for a while, and said, "If the Great Song Dynasty conquers Dayue, when will it be possible to arrive in Zhancheng?" ”

Cai You said: "More than a month, less than half a month, general, if the city is lost, the door of the Great Yue Kingdom will be opened, if it is not placed as soon as possible, it will be regretted at that time." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info.."

Li Richao got up from his chair, walked around the hall with his hands, and said, "There are no more than 10,000 defenders in the city, but there are a few water boats in the port, so I'm afraid it won't help." But there is an army of sailors that can be appropriated. ”

Li Richao's naval army is a large cannibal fleet from afar, the fleet secretly set up ballistas, saved bows and arrows, and more than 7,000 large cannibal troops, this naval division arrived in Dayue from Da Shi as early as half a year ago, looking forward to the opportunity. Originally, the Great Food Fleet was sent to the South Seas to show off its might to various countries, intending to enhance the influence of the Great Food, but this fleet arrived in the South Seas and immediately joined the Yue people, and is now stationed in the sea near the city.

In addition, there is another fleet that can be used, that is, the fleet of the Xingyue Commercial Bank, which is managed by Vietnamese people up and down, and the number of people is enough to 5,000.

When these two forces are combined, they can reach as many as 10,000 people and have 100 ships, but compared to the Nanyang Naval Division, they are really far behind.

Cai You said, "Why don't you immediately write to the Thang Long Mansion and order all parts of the Dayue Kingdom to send troops and horses to help Zhancheng?" ”

Li Richao couldn't help but shake his head and said: "Mr. Cai is resourceful, but the affairs of the soldiers may not be able to see clearly, although my Dayue country has 100,000 soldiers, but the coast is also extremely long, and there are countless ports, and everywhere must be guarded and guarded. What if the Song army divided its forces and took several other ports and attacked Thang Long Mansion instead? ”

Li Richao's worries were not unreasonable, naval warfare was no better than land warfare, and in land warfare, every pass and stronghold could become a male pass that the enemy could not cross, and if he held one place, he could stalk the enemy's throat like a fishbone. However, the naval battle was completely inconsistent, as long as it was a port town, the naval division of the Great Song Dynasty could be presented there, and everywhere was the target of the Song army's naval division, and it could not capture the city for a long time, and it could land in other ports at any time, and at that time, a large number of Vietnamese troops gathered in the city would immediately be in a passive position.

Cai You was also silent for a while, his net worth and life have been connected with the Jia Yue Kingdom, if the Song army broke through Da Yue, where would there be a place for him in the world?

Ji Richao clenched his fists and said, "Then defend it, I want to see what the Song people are capable of." ”

The war is imminent" in a few days, and sure enough, the news came out from Quanzhou, it was Quanzhou that had promulgated the Yue Edict, and the entire Dayue Kingdom was immediately in chaos, the king of Dayue was still in Quanzhou, life and death were uncertain, and the Dayue Kingdom was leaderless. (w/w/w..)

For the Great Song Dynasty, the Dayue people have contempt, but in the face of this behemoth, there are also people who are afraid. Therefore, the hundred officials of the Great Yue Kingdom immediately elected the crown prince as the king and agreed to be the Song army.

Then the Great Yue Kingdom announced the war book, which said, "Although the country of China is a thousand times, it is not afraid of the country of the sub-multiplication." ”

Immediately, Zhao Ji's ten major crimes were announced, and the whole country tried to resist stubbornly.

Close to the Viceroyalty of Saigon, this up-and-coming port city gradually flourished due to trade and the concentration of a large number of Han merchants. The population of the city has crossed 50,000, and Han Chinese account for more than ninety percent, but today, the whole city immediately becomes tense.

The battle between Song and Yue was inevitable, and the nearby Vietnamese troops had also issued an ultimatum to the Han people to immediately get out of the governor's territory, and from then on, it was still under the control of Dayue.

In the governor's jurisdiction, there are only 500 servants under the governor's yamen to maintain law and order, although there is a ship of the Nanyang Naval Division moored outside the port, and a group of sailors is stationed, but the number is only more than 100 people, and it is only used for the purpose of arresting SI. With such a small amount of manpower, if the Yue people really want to enter and take back the governor's territory, how can they parry?

In addition, there are many warehouses in this jurisdiction, I don't know how many goods are hoarded, the merchants are definitely unwilling to go, and once people leave, although they save their lives, but the loss is too great.

Therefore, on the side of the governor's yamen, it is already in a hurry, and several big businessmen of the local chamber of commerce and some famous local gentry are arguing with the governor.

The governor is called Liu Mingxiang, subordinate to the Haizheng Yamen, he looks majestic, but in fact he is just an official of the eighth grade, the system of the Haizheng Yamen, in fact, is not an official of the imperial court, to be honest, if it is really the imperial examination, people may not be willing to go to the vassal country to be a governor. Scholars always have a fear of the unknown world, and going to a foreign domain to be an official is more frightening than going to Jiaozhou and Qiongzhou to play in the mud at the end of the world.

The people of Jinshiju refused to come, the officials simply didn't care, the palace was indifferent, and even the three provinces forgot the existence of this governor's jurisdiction, so the king of Pingxi simply didn't do anything, and selected the officials by himself, the so-called governor, in fact, they were all old soldiers who had retired from the water division. These people are quite familiar with foreign domains, and they have some knowledge of navigation, plus the result is a martial artist, so they can be a little decisive. Therefore, as long as you join the selected exam, after passing the exam, you will be directly awarded an official position, and you will be supported according to the salary of the eight-rank official.

Liu Mingxiang originally served in the Xinghua Naval Army, and later stayed in the Nanyang Naval Division for a period of time, and then instigated to serve as the governor of the Governor's Office of the Governor of Dayue State.

In fact, as a governor in this governor's jurisdiction, life is very comfortable, usually just urging the subordinate officers to supervise the merchant ships in the port to dock and collect taxes, and then there are not many things to clean up the public security gate, and the Great Song fleet that docks here also has its own rules and regulations, self-restraint, and nothing will happen.

But today, Li Mingxiang's face is really not good-looking, in front of so many businessmen and gentry, wearing a sauce-colored official uniform, he patted the table and roared: "This is what His Highness's order means, in order to avoid retaliation from the Yue people, there is no need to take care of the property, all of them are withdrawn, let the fu and the children get on the boat first, this town and you are postponed, these property, today is handed over to the Yue people, sooner or later, one day, we will get it back ten times and a hundred times, and our lives are gone, what are you doing with this?" Li Mingxiang was a quick-tempered man, and he slapped the table endlessly, and continued, "The Vietnamese army in Saigon City has 6,000 people, and this town is not afraid of the enemy......

A merchant said, "In the governor's jurisdiction, there are 50,000 Han Chinese, and the Yue people dare to come, and what are they afraid of him doing?" ”

In fact, the so-called blood and guts lurk in anyone's heart, just to see if there is any hair, just like these businessmen, their lives are in this jurisdiction, so many goods, how can they give up? In order to make a profit, they can take risks, and now they have to take care of their belongings, so what's the harm in fighting for it?

Liu Mingxiang was angry, and said angrily: "Just to save your family wealth, you want to take so many lives? 50,000? Hmph, what's the use of 50,000 people! ”

, "Lord Governor, 1 Bu people have an idea, it is better to let some ships carry Fu Yu back to Quanzhou first, leaving Qingzhuang, weapons and other areas in the jurisdiction, here are the most sailors, are brave and ruthless, as long as they are guarded, what are you afraid of him?" ”

This proposal, Liu Mingxiang did not accept it, from the reputation, he did not want to run away in disgrace, in the end, he came out of the water division, and now he is the governor, and he has the responsibility to defend the land, and he will inevitably be ridiculed when he goes back. He was silent for a moment, and said, "If you want to fight, you must not make a fuss, everyone listens to the adjustment of the town, the governor's jurisdiction is there, and you can also contain a part of the Vietnamese army, but since you want to defend the jurisdiction, the dead and bloody are certain, and it has been discussed today, and there will be casualties at that time, so you don't have weak legs." ”

The businessmen said, "Live and die with the jurisdiction!" ”

Liu Mingxiang slapped the table and said fiercely: "Post the list of articles and welcome the thief!" ”

After sending off the merchants, Liu Mingxiang immediately wrote a letter asking someone to send it out by speedboat, and urged Fu Yu to evacuate, ignoring the monthly capital of Saigon.

At the dawn, the flotilla of ships that covered the clouds sailed all over the sky, the seagulls hovered over the masts, making bursts of gull chirps, and the thousands of ships and soldiers of the sailors divided into four directions, heading towards one goal.

Occasionally, a few merchant ships heading towards the Quanzhou target would meet this huge fleet, and the merchant ships were frightened at first, and then saw the flag of the Nanyang Naval Division, and finally magnified their courage, and when they passed by the ships, there were bursts of shouts from the deck.

He had been sailing in the sea for half a month, and half a month was a kind of torment for the sailors' body and mind. The more this is the case, Shen Ao gave an order, and the drill is still going on, except for the sailors and dukes who are needed, the sailors still have to practice on the deck every day, and they must not rest.

The bronze-skinned sailors, exposed to the scorching sun and the fishy sea breeze, were already a little numb in their movements, but this kind of exercise also made them hold their breath while being lonely. Just like a man whose energy has nowhere to vent, as long as the time comes, they will become a flood beast and tear everything apart.

What Shen Ao was holding in his hand was a report sent by the clipper, and the governor's jurisdiction actually made his own opinion, ready to resist stubbornly, and live and die with the jurisdiction, Shen Ao raised his eyebrows, and his slightly dark skin showed a trace of displeasure, and he pursed it slightly, with anger in his eyes.

"Bastard! is good at advocating, and Liu Mingxiang is still out of the water division! After reading the report, Shen Ao tore the paper into shreds, and couldn't help but get angry, war is imminent, and the governor's territory has become the target of public criticism, and it is okay to withdraw as soon as possible, and now the people are still in Dayue, who knows what will happen.

Yang Guo sat on the bench in Shen Ao's cabin and said, "Your Highness, Liu Mingxiang is a military attaché, and it is difficult to move some .......

……”

Shen Ao interrupted him and said, "There's no need to intercede for him, if something happens, he will take care of it." Shen Ao paused, and then said, "I can't afford him, Commander Yang, there is still a lot of time before Zhancheng, can you arrive within three days?" ”

Yang Guo held his breath and said, "Full speed ahead, you can roughly get there." ”

A hint of leap flashed in Shen Ao's eyes: "At the beginning of the fourth day, when the fourth day dawns, this king will rest in Zhancheng, tell him to go down, and prepare for war with all his might!" "Shen Ao's impatience is actually understandable, if you take the city as soon as possible, the entire Dayue Kingdom will definitely be alarmed, who will take care of obtaining the governor's jurisdiction at that time? I am afraid that it is the top priority to bring troops to the king, and the faster the progress of the sailor side, the safer the Han people in the governor's area will be.

He slammed his fist on the table and said, "The Yue country said wildly, since he wanted to hit the stone with an egg, then the king told him, what is the country of ten thousand times to fight the country of a thousand times, and the country of Yue must not be destroyed for a month, and the king himself took off his clothes and went to Beijing to ask for guilt..
