"Kuang Zixin."

"The last general!"

Kuang Zixin's expression was dazed, and he hurriedly hugged his fists in response.

Han Zhen asked, "What happened to the Shenzhou battleship group?" ”

Last month, under the work of a group of craftsmen day and night, the first Shenzhou battleship was successfully launched.

On the hundred-meter-long ship, ten field guns and one siege gun were installed.

Plus five frigates, the strength is terrifying.

In order to make the deck strong enough to support the reaction force of the guns when fired, the craftsmen racked their brains.

Originally, Han Zhen planned to go to Jimo to inspect after the year and personally experience the combat power of the Shenzhou battleship group, but this happened and could only be postponed.

Kuang Zixin replied truthfully: "At present, it is still in trial flight, and the investigation is insufficient." ”

When a sea ship is launched, it needs to be tested for a month or two, and it can be put into use only after it is confirmed that there is no problem.

Especially for a behemoth like the Shenzhou battleship, it is necessary to test various performances, find deficiencies, and return to the dock in time for rectification.

Otherwise, when it comes to the battlefield to drop the chain, it will be too late.

Han Zhen instructed: "After the New Year's Festival, you will return to Jimo and step up the sea trial." Within three months, I want to see the Shenzhou battleship group put into service. ”

"The last general commands!"

Kuang Zixin bowed down and answered.

Liu Qi said excitedly: "The grain and grass baggage, and even the field artillery, can be transported to the port of Niguhai by naval warships, and 40,000 soldiers can go into battle lightly at that time." In this way, it can not only save grain and grass, but also avoid the attack of the Jin cavalry. ”

Shi Wenhui said: "Liu Dutong must not be careless, the sea is high and the waves are urgent, and there are pirates Pan Heng, and there are also sailors in Jinren." ”

Li Nanjia, who had been silent, spoke: "The enemy at sea, Shi joins the army and doesn't have to worry, my sailor will solve it!" ”

Since seeing the artillery and the Shenzhou battleship, Li Nanjia is full of confidence.

Han Zhen opened his mouth and said: "The army is the main force in this battle, but the cooperation of the sailors is equally important. ”

"The last will be saved!"

Li Nanjia and Kuang Zixin responded with solemn faces.

Then, Han Zhen made another personnel arrangement.

Once the war is about to start, Wei Da will sit in Yidu and coordinate the source of troops in Shandong.

Wu Jue, Xiao Wu, and Zhang He each led 10,000 soldiers and stationed in Shanzhou, Puzhou, and Jinan Prefecture to prevent Zhao Song from stabbing him in the back.

Although normal people can't do such stupid things, given that the other party is Song Huizong, Han Zhen thinks that he has to guard against it.

Who knows if this old boy will have a hot head, or follow the advice of some great clever, and suddenly send troops to quell the rebellion.

No one can say for sure.

The three of them have a steady style, especially Wu Jue, who can be called a master of a generation of defensive counterattacks.

Oh yes, and his brother Wu Lan.

arranged for the three of them to be stationed at the border pass, and Han Zhen was still very relieved.

With the combat power of the Qingzhou army, plus the assistance of firearms and artillery, the soldiers of the Zhao and Song dynasties needed at least ten times the strength of the troops if they wanted to capture a city.

Of the hundreds of thousands of Zhao and Song soldiers hoarded around Shandong, most of them were newly recruited recruits, and they had no combat power at all, only the 30,000 Western troops mobilized from the northwest were still decent.

So, 30,000 people are enough.

"The last general will definitely live up to the trust of the county magistrate!"

Wu Jue's face turned red with excitement.

As a demoted general, not only did he not receive a cold reception, but also temporarily replaced the commander of the army with the official position of brigade commander, and this trust made him extremely moved.

And Nie Dong, Han Shizhong, Liu Qi, Huang Kai and others will follow him to the north to cut gold.

Han Zhen's gaze crossed the crowd and looked out of the main hall: "I have a hunch, the Jin people will not delay for too long, you wait to hurry up and train the soldiers and prepare for battle!" ”

"The last general commands!"

Everyone shouted in response, their eyes shining with excitement.

After dispersing, Han Zhen stepped back to the harem.

Stepping on the thick snow, he made his way to Yinshuangzhai.

Pushing open the door, a wave of heat suddenly hit the face.

Take off the big hat and put your hands on the stove to burn.

Xiao Heyue sat on the bed and played with Han Zhang's family, and when she saw her father coming, she immediately grinned, and waved her little hands at the same time.

The little guy is now six months old, eats well and sleeps well, and is now white and fat.

At this point, I was able to roll over and sit alone flexibly, but I couldn't climb yet.

"Daddy is coming!"

When the palm of his hand was hot, Han Zhen came to the bed with a smile.

Bang Bang Bang!

Xiao Heyue slapped her hands three times, giggling while patting back.

Han Zhen raised his eyebrows: "The little guy has a lot of strength." ”

Hearing this, Han Zhang's on the side took the opportunity to complain: "You don't look at how thick her little arms are, she slapped the slave in the eye this morning, and it still hurts." ”

Han Zhen said seriously: "You are not allowed to beat A-Niang in the future, you know?" ”

He was responded by small hands flapping indiscriminately.

"Woo, the big tiger is coming to eat the baby."

He gently arched his head on Little Heyue's belly, making the little guy giggle.

After playing with her daughter for a while, Han Zhen asked, "What about them?" ”

"Build a snowman in the Lingxi Pavilion."

Han Zhang said, a hint of yearning flashed in his eyes.

After all, she is not that old, and she will only be twenty after the New Year.

In the next life, I am in my sophomore year.

Seeing this, Han Zhen chuckled and said, "If you want to be stubborn, you can be stubborn, don't take care of it." ”

Han Zhang shook his head and said, "That's not possible, the slaves are all people with children." ”

"Guy, you have to die to save face and suffer sin."

Han Zhen couldn't help but shake his head and laugh.

obviously has a girl's heart, but she has to pretend to be an adult.

"Ahh

At this time, Xiao Heyue also called twice, as if echoing her father.

Han Zhen was immediately happy, and teased: "See, even Xiao Heyue thinks I'm right." ”

"Erlang~"

Han Zhang's greasy voice was disgusted.

Han Zhen said softly: "Go stubborn, life is only a few decades, don't let Shaohua down." ”

Han Zhang's heart was a little moved, he bit his lip, and said hesitantly: "That...... Slave gone? ”

"Go, it's cold outside, remember to dress thicker, don't get cold." Han Zhen admonished.

"Hmm."

Han Zhang nodded, put on a thick cloak, and rushed out of the door.

Seeing that A-Niang was gone, Xiao Heyue blinked her big eyes, and then looked at her father again and cried loudly.

"This ......"

Han Zhen was dumbfounded.

The nurse outside heard the cry, walked in, hugged and coaxed, and it didn't take long to get better.

The baby is like this, the mood is unpredictable, crying fast, and the good is fast.

……

Bang bang bang!

At midnight, fireworks once again burst into the sky over the county.

In the tsunami of nearly 200,000 people, the seven years of Xuanhe were ushered in.

The seven-day annual leave was over, and the officials began to get busy again.

Although Han Zhen did not say it explicitly, all the officials knew that the war was about to start.

In Shandong, the most belligerent is not Han Zhen, nor Liu Qi's generals, but the supplementary officials in the yamen of various ministries.

As a result, tens of thousands of officials in Shandong began to roll up frantically.

Every time Han Zhen expands his territory, it is an opportunity for them to leap into the dragon's gate.

If you grasp it, you can reach the sky in one step.

A truckload of saltpeter ore was transported to Linzi County, where it was refined and purified, and then sent to a gunpowder workshop in the depths of the barracks along with sulfur and charcoal.

The large ordnance workshop on the banks of the Zishui River is once again running at full capacity, day and night.

A cart of grain and grass was transported along the highway to Jimo.

The third day of January.

Zhang He, Wu Jue, and Xiao Wu set off for the border pass.

Han Zhen ran more and more frequently to the barracks, and sometimes simply spent the night in the barracks, deducing the battle situation with Han Shizhong, Liu Qi and other generals all night.

……

……

Tokyo City.

In the Yanfu Palace, Wang Ximeng is painting with a pen.

The object of the painting is a beautiful woman sitting upright in the temple.

In terms of facial features, this woman has reached the extreme, even among the three thousand beauties in the harem, she is also the only one.

This woman's surname is Pei, because Song Huizong saw it, she was shocked by heaven and gave her the name Chang'e in the month.

Song Huizong, you can scold him for being mediocre, but you can't deny his artist's vision.

Being able to be named Chang'e in the moon by him shows how outstanding this Pei Shurong's appearance is.

Pei Shurong is eighteen years old this year, and entered the palace as a royal attendant at the end of last year.

Entering the palace at this age, it is really a little old, but I can't stand it and look too beautiful, and my temperament is dusty, and I have a bit of fairy spirit.

Since being favored by Song Huizong, he has jumped from the imperial attendant to Shurong, and directly crossed the talent, beauty, Jieyu, Chongyuan, and Chongrong...... and other four-order eighteen grades, ranking nine concubines.

Further up, there are the four concubines and the queen.

The key is that it has only been more than a month, which shows Song Huizong's love for it.

Today, Song Huizong had a whim, and felt that such a beauty, if he didn't leave a painting, it would be a pity.

So he summoned Wang Ximeng and ordered him to draw a picture of a beauty.

At this moment, the eunuch Li Yan hurriedly stepped into the hall with a happy face.

was about to speak, but saw Song Huizong waving his hand at him.

Li Yan has seen this scene countless times, and he stood aside obediently.

I don't know how long it took, Wang Ximeng said, "Your Majesty, the painting is finished." ”

"Hmm."

Song Huizong nodded, carefully looked at the woman in the painting, and tasted: "I haven't seen you for a few months, Wang Qing's painting skills have improved a lot, and the ink used here is extremely exquisite!" ”

"Thanks to His Majesty's teaching."

Wang Ximeng bowed and said.

This is not sycophancy.

Song Huizong once founded a painting academy in the Hanlin Academy, recruited a group of good ministers, and personally instructed painting skills.

The so-called good minister is the Jinshi of the art examination high school.

Well, the inclusion of painting in the examination is also an original creation of Song Huizong.

Even, he also divided the "art examination" into six subjects, namely Buddhism, people, landscapes, birds and beasts, flowers and bamboos, houses and trees, etc., and the examination questions were based on poetry propositions, which he personally presided over and acted as an examiner.

When Wang Ximeng was in the academy of painting, he was taught by Song Huizong to guide the brush and ink technique, so that his painting skills soared, and at the age of eighteen, he painted the "Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" that has been passed down through the ages.

Hearing this, Song Huizong was in a good mood, stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Although I have the insight to know people, Wang Qing himself is also a rare talent. ”

After rewarding Wang Ximeng with a pair of jade bibs, Song Huizong said to Li Yan: "What's the matter? ”

Li Yan reported the good news: "Your Majesty, General Liu sent back the battle report and captured the Zhong thief alive three days ago. ”

"Oh?"

Song Huizong was overjoyed, and hurriedly ordered: "Submit the battle report." ”

Since the death order of Song Huizong was beaten, Liu Yanqing has been attacking wave after wave as if he had been beaten with chicken blood.

However, Zhong Xiang is not an ordinary thief, and the soldiers and people under his command are not coerced, but attracted by preaching.

Moreover, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Zhong Xiang learned the lesson of Fang La, distributed money and land to his believers, and implemented the policy of equalizing the rich and the poor.

This made the believers more supportive of him and more courageous in battle.

Relying on the complex water potential of Dongting Lake, he was stunned and repelled the officers and soldiers several times.

Seeing that the hard one didn't work, Liu Yanqing planned to come to the soft one, sent soldiers to take refuge for the people in disguise, and then took advantage of his unpreparedness to capture him alive.

Taking advantage of the anti-thief chaos, Liu Yanqing took advantage of the situation to launch an attack, killing hundreds of people, and Zhong Xiang's eldest son, Zhong Ziang, also died on the spot.

However, although Zhong Xiang was arrested, Yang Qi and others were still there, and when he turned his head, he supported Zhong Ziyi, the second son of Zhong Xiang, as the emperor, and continued to deal with the officers and soldiers in Dongting Lake.

But Song Huizong didn't care so much, in his opinion, if he could capture the Zhong thief alive, he had already completed the task of counterinsurgency.

The rest of the water thieves are nothing more than scabies.
