"Qin Zhongcheng, Xiangzhou is not far ahead, and it is about to enter the territory controlled by the Yue family army of the Great Song Dynasty." A centurion of the Jin State Mouke, a Jurchen named Tart Tower, who acted as a guard, reported to Qin Hui in the carriage.

The whole process, whether it is the expression on the face or the tone of voice, is quite polite. Seeing this, even with such an expression and tone, it was not the first time Qin Hui had encountered it; But I'm still a little flattered, and I'm a little unaccustomed to it.

No way! Who called it more than half a month ago. Not to mention that in the face of such a Jurchen Mouke Tart Tower, even if it is an ordinary Jurchen, Qin Hui has to pay a flattering smile.

It's like a dog that keeps wagging its tail after meeting its owner. Suddenly, such a character who used to need to work hard to please himself has become an active person to please himself; Not to mention, Qin Hui was still a little unaccustomed to this product for a while.

Of course, although he felt a little unaccustomed, he still felt a little exhaled and raised his eyebrows in his heart.

It's just that when he thought about it, what was the reason for these Jurchens who had eyes that had grown to the top of their heads, after such an amazing change.

The whole person is a little bad...... Today's time is the 22nd day of November in the first year of Maode.

Since that day, the Emperor of the Jin State has finished begging for money, as well as a group of nobles and high-ranking civil and military officials, after agreeing on how to deal with the Northern Expedition of the Great Song Dynasty in the court.

On the second day, Qin Hui, who had been threatened and admonished by Wan Yanchang, took his wife Wang, escorted by this Jurchen centurion and fifty or sixty Jin soldiers, and began to return to the Song Dynasty in a hurry.

Before leaving, what did Wan Yanchang explain to him? After handing over him millions of dollars and treasures, he clearly told him one thing: after returning to the Great Song Dynasty, he must use this money to help them lobby for a good time, and make sure that the Song people give up their plans to go on the Northern Expedition.

As long as such a task is completed, there will naturally be more benefits to be sent, if not, all the good and ugly things he did in the Jin Kingdom that are equivalent to defecting to the enemy will all be publicized in the Song Land, so that he will not have a good end.

It is precisely for this reason that after hearing the saying that 'I am about to enter Xiangzhou and return to the realm of the Great Song Dynasty'.

Qin Hui sighed in his heart, the tart tower that used to be so coaxing was actually so condescending.

I couldn't help but look up and look ahead, although there was still a long distance away from Xiangzhou City, and I couldn't see anything now, I still couldn't help but keep looking at it.

The emotions in the heart, that is called a rather complicated. On the one hand, he has long been accustomed to the prosperity of the Great Song Dynasty, and he has indeed been quite unaccustomed to this period of time in the Jinren territory.

was able to return to the Great Song Dynasty and Kaifeng, and naturally his heart was overjoyed. On the other hand, he is now very worried in his heart, or to put it another way, he doesn't know how to complete the Jurchen confession when he can't turn back at all.

In Qin Hui's view, it was almost an impossible task to persuade the Song people to give up the Northern Expedition.

Because since the first battle of Zhuxian Town, the situation between Song and Jin has been reversed; It's like the former Jin Kingdom, no matter what, he would not let go of such a big fat piece as the Great Song Dynasty.

Today's Great Song Dynasty has an absolute advantage, how can he be willing to let go of the great enemy of the Jin Kingdom.

Just in Qin Hui's heart, when he was very worried about this matter, a voice behind him sounded: "Official, but you are worried about the matter of the Great Song Dynasty's dismissal?" The concubine is here, but there are some ways. As soon as he heard this, Qin Hui immediately lifted his spirits.

The person who opened his mouth was Qin Hui's wife Wang. Wang's person is not simple, he is the granddaughter of Wang Qi, the famous 'Three Decrees Prime Minister' during the Northern Song Dynasty Shenzong, and he is definitely a famous family.

Even Hu Biao is very familiar with them, the dead eunuch Tong Guan and Tong Taishi are still the godfathers of the Wang family.

Therefore, after the Wang family, a woman who was born in a family and has been very knowledgeable since she was a child, opened her mouth, Qin Hui immediately asked: "Oh, what is Madame's plan?" As he spoke, there was a look of expectation in his eyes.

As for the Wang family, a woman who is still a little thin and beautiful at this age, she has been between voluntary and forced during this period of time in the Jin Kingdom.

What happened to those Jurchens, Qin Hui didn't care much about it for a long time. After hearing this, Wang immediately said his plan: "What else? The so-called gentleman can deceive the party, the court of the Great Song Dynasty is different from the Jin people, and always cares about the discussion of the people, especially the scholars, and the concubine's family still has some relationship between the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty and the scholars. As long as the officials send them some goods, they will surely come out and say, 'Heaven has the virtue of a good life, and convince people with virtue', as long as there are enough people to speak, it will always have some effect. Under such a statement, Qin Hui immediately had a feeling of sudden enlightenment.

He is also a scholar, and of course he knows very well what some of them are.

In a relaxed mood, he immediately said affectionately to the Wang family: "Madam, you are really my virtuous help~" The Wang family heard such a compliment, and his eyes were like silk on the spot; But before the two of them could do anything, they suddenly heard the Jurchen centurion Mouke centurion in his ears.

It is said that Tart Tower, who also had an unclear relationship with Wang, was full of frightened roars: "It's not good, the enemy attacked, everyone quickly formed a formation...... Three days later, on the front page of the "Great Song Times", there was an article like this: ...... According to the Xiangzhou Yue Deputy Privy Envoy Kuaima Urgent Report, three days ago in the Xiangzhou border area, my Great Song Dynasty Emperor Qin Hui and his wife Wang encountered the famous thief 'one ear' in the place.

After a fierce battle, Qin Yushi was killed by the head of the owl after more than 20 arrows in his body. It is a pity that a woman of the Wang family was even more humiliated by everyone, and the valley road broke and died.

After hearing the news, Yue's deputy privy envoy hurriedly dispatched a large army to encircle and suppress 'One Ear' and a number of henchmen...... It was also heard that the Jin people took the initiative to release Qin Yushi to return to the Song Dynasty at this time.

The fight is to return the royal nobles who have been plundered, the civil and military officials of the imperial court, the gold and silver goods, and the practice of claiming to be a vassal to our Great Song Dynasty in exchange for stopping the Northern Expedition.

The reporter of this newspaper interviewed the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty, the privy envoy, and the Duke of Qin Hu Yitong Hu on this matter. Hu Gongyan said that after Yan Wu begged to buy a puppet emperor who was in a high position, all the Haidong Jurchens were afraid of power but not virtuous; This time he waged his tail and begged for mercy, just to stall for time.

When he recovers his strength one day, he will definitely be immortal and continue to peep at my flower artifact. Therefore, all the things that were abandoned in the Northern Expedition were not mentioned, and all the royal nobles, civil and military officials, and my Great Song Heavenly Soldiers personally went to rescue them.

I also respectfully told Yan Wu to buy the puppet emperor, when my Great Song Heavenly Soldiers arrived, if you don't want the whole clan to burn the jade, it is best to bind yourself in front of our army, and let the Jurchen clan have some way to live.

If not, destroy their seed and exterminate their seed...... In short, in the above headline news, the content expressed is: Qin Hui and his wife died when they encountered thieves on the way back to the Song Dynasty, or they died miserably.

It's a pity that the 'one ear' escaped, but it doesn't matter, Da Song has already gone to the sea to catch the paperwork, and he will definitely bring this thief to justice.

In addition, the grandchildren of the Jin Kingdom, don't think about the good thing of stopping the army. Laying down your arms and surrendering is your only way to live.

Not to mention that in such a "Great Song Times", when the Jin side did not know how many good horses had been killed, they were sent back to Shangjing.

Seeing the above content, Wanyan Wu Qimai and a group of high-level officials of the Jin Kingdom had to give up their last illusions in the scolding.

Regardless of the Northland at this moment, it has already entered the season of ice and snow. They began to mobilize as much as they could, with all the forces at their disposal.

In the face of a group of Han people, Liao people, Xi people, Bohai people and other local heroes, they are now detached from morality, each has some ideas of their own, and begins to think of it as a snake.

The Jurchens mobilized all the men over the age of 14 and under the age of 60. began to frantically build blades and armor, and even forced a group of Han masters to find ways to build some ballistas and gunpowder weapons to fight the enemy.

And in Kaifeng City, after Hu Biao put down the "Great Song Times" in his hand. Facing the singer, the factory of the East Factory, he nodded and said: "This thing is done well, but there shouldn't be any trouble, right?" If this is the case, we will have a better reputation, and I am afraid that it will stink again. After hearing this, the singer replied confidently: "Worried about a yarn, only 'One Ear' himself knows that this matter was instructed by our Dongchang, and the other robbers think it is just an ordinary robbery." 'One Ear' has taken advantage of the troubled times in recent years, and his subordinates don't know how many people's blood debts have been contaminated, and now they have long been disposed of, and the dead can't speak. After hearing this, Hu Biao also let go of the last bit of worry in his heart.

Yes! Then what happened to Qin Hui being attacked halfway was not an accident at all. Since the battle in Zhuxian Town, although the local tycoons in the Northland have not taken the initiative to take refuge in them so far.

But these things that are secretly contacted and shown in private are not less done at all. Even if it was the intelligence network that made Dongchang in the Northland, it was expanding rapidly like a roll.

Therefore, when Qin Hui and his wife were in the carriage, and they were still near Yanjing, the relevant information was passed through the flying pigeon and sent to the singer and Hu Biao.

With almost no hesitation, they made up a plan to kill Qin Hui and his wife halfway.

Why? Da Song has a foul rule of not being a sergeant. Even Geng Nanzhong's goods took the initiative to confess to the top crime of defecting to the enemy and betraying the country under the circumstances of the triage of the three divisions, and there was still huge opposition from the people to the decision to execute him.

More precisely, it was a group of scholars and doctors who raised objections. In essence, it doesn't matter to them whether Geng Nanzhong dies or not, the key is that they can't lose such a privilege.

Thinking that after Qin Hui came back, even if they came up with relevant evidence, it would still be a trouble to kill this thing.

So Hu Biao and the others simply killed this pair of goods halfway, so as not to have a war of words when they came back.

As for why, Hu Biao must kill Qin Hui and his wife? In such a world, they actually haven't had time to do so many wrong things, is it necessary to do this?

Joke! Hu Biao and they are just a group of ordinary people, and they are not dimensional judges who talk about evidence and reason, what they want is to have a clear mind in their hearts, as well as their own happiness and hatred.

If you really want to let go of Qin Hui, you won't be able to sleep when you think about this after you go back......******* as time continues to pass, the time has come to December of the first year of Maode.

As a heavy snow began to fall, Kaifeng City also entered winter, and the temperature dropped suddenly.

However, in Kaifeng City, with the preparations for the Northern Expedition, one after another steadily advanced, the atmosphere of the entire Kaifeng City became more and more popular.

Especially now, a group of recruits have finally completed their training in the boot camp with a shortened time.

As a planned army gradually began to be organized, even some women in the city who only cared about three meals a day felt the footsteps of war getting closer and closer.

Thanks to the existence of a large number of veterans, the process of organizing the troops with a total of 15 divisions is relatively smooth.

The only small problem is that for Hu Biao and others, Han Shizhong, Zhang Jun, Liu Guangshi, Gao Chong, Yu Yunwen, Yang Cunzhong, these famous anti-Jin generals in the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, how to arrange a matter.

Talents, no matter where they are placed, will always be talents. Among these people, Yu Yunwen, the youngest, is only sixteen or seventeen years old now, but in just a month, when he was training in the recruit camp, he had already stood out because of his excellent performance far beyond others.

As a result, the list of these people fell behind in the eyes of Hu Biao and others. Combined with some personal information and resumes, good guys!

Aren't these some familiar names and characters in later generations? How to arrange these people, should they be promoted while they are still there?

Such things also made Hu Biao temporarily call everyone over, and came to a temporary short meeting this evening.

After some discussion, Hu Biao knocked on the table, interrupted the quarrel between everyone, and began to say: "In this way, we don't engage in pulling seedlings to help grow." Besides! Today's Great Song New Army is completely different from the previous army, even some of the original generals, and they may not be able to play with firearms troops. Therefore, Han Shizhong, Zhang Jun, and Yang Cunzhong, these three people with rich military experience, it is good to arrange a company commander first. With the ability of these people, I believe that they can still stand out by relying on their real military exploits. When the time comes, according to the rules of the army, it is good to be promoted normally. As for Liu Guangshi, he is a bastard among the four generals of ZTE, and being famous is just a hero created by the times; During the Northern Expedition, let him transport grain and grass, and then wait to be eliminated by history. Yu Yunwen, this little brother, I think it's best to let him go to the sailor to experience it, and it can be regarded as cultivating a seed for the Great Voyage after we leave. After saying this, Hu Biao turned his head to look at the concubine again, and said a sentence in his mouth: "Don't say that we don't carry forward the style, Gao Pet, a good man, can be your guard, but pay attention to the influence, don't find someone to talk about poetry and poetry at every turn?" Hu Biao said this, mainly because after seeing Gao Chong's name, the girl's expression became quite excited.

", how much you don't believe me~" After hearing this, the concubine had a rare gaffe.

In the following time, he solemnly explained: "Indeed, after hearing the name of the little brother Gao Chong, I was more excited at the time, but it was only based on the excitement of fans seeing idols. So let Gao Zhong go to the cavalry division and be a company commander too, it's a pity to stay by my side. In response to such a statement, Hu Biao immediately nodded, which can be regarded as confirming the arrangements of the above personnel.

In the following time, everyone didn't even have a supper together, and they began to disperse in a hurry; After all, now they are all so busy that they are flying...... After everyone left, Hu Biao glanced at the table clock in the corner and found that it was already more than eleven o'clock in the evening.

It should be noted that this kind of grandfather clock belongs to a new product recently launched by the Department of Commerce.

It belongs to Hu Biao and others who put forward a concept, and then some jewelry craftsmen developed products; With the craftsmanship of these people, as long as there is a concept, there is no problem in processing at all.

Although it's a little bigger, it finally doesn't have to rely on the watchman to tell the time. Even though it was late at night, Hu Biao sat down at the desk again after washing his face with cold water and stimulating his spirits.

This time, however, he did not continue to review the official documents, but began to organize the language while writing a book called "The Atlas of the Sea Kingdom".

Specifically, in the book, they propose that the world they are currently living in is actually a giant ball.

Most importantly, it describes the topography of the continents, their populations, how they arrived by sea, and so on.

Among them, Hu Biao emphasized. In the island country separated by a water from them, there is a huge Iwami Silver Mountain, in which the silver content is enough to 200 tons, that is, more than 50 million taels.

If you use the island country as a springboard and take advantage of the monsoon and ocean currents all the way to the east, you can reach two continents that are many times larger than the Great Song Dynasty, Dajin, Western Xia, and Western Regions combined.

The land is fertile, and crops can grow simply by throwing seeds; Gold, silver, fur and other specialties are abundant.

The natives living on it are all descendants of merchants with yellow skin and eyes. Although he occupies a treasure land, he still lives a backward life like a barbarian.

If you go straight south from Quanzhou, after bypassing the large and small islands of Java, there is also a large island several times the size of the Song Dynasty.

Above, there are only some scattered indigenous life, which is the land that God has promised to plant flowers. In short, Hu Biao wanted to use such a book to stimulate the impulse of the Great Song Dynasty to start a great voyage; Occupy all these treasures early.

Let all the teeth of the future generations, John's family, eat Xiang. It is precisely for this reason that he drew many drawings on the back of the book, such as "Galen's ship", "Clarke's ship", and "treasure ship".

Although the appearance is a little ugly, it can also be used as a reference by the craftsmen behind and avoid some detours.

As for why this book is still called "Atlas of the Sea Kingdom"? That is Wei Yuan, who wrote this book, this old man, who was originally known as 'the first person to plant flowers and open his eyes to the world' in history, is actually Hu Biao's fellow countryman.

It can be regarded as a tribute in such a way......
