Although the Tokyo edict had not arrived in Qingzhou, Wang Lin knew that the matter was irreversible, so he began to prepare in advance.
There are many sea outlets along the eastern coast of Shandong.
Dengzhou, Laizhou, Weizhou and Weihaiwei all have natural good ports. Since the Song Dynasty, Dengzhou maritime trade has long developed to a peak stage. In the past, the Jurchens crossed the sea and took the Denglai Sea Road.
The straight-line distance from Dengzhou to Liaodong of the Jin people is only more than 200 miles.
If there are no wind and waves and the route is accurate, you can arrive in a few days.
Wang Lin stared at the chart and pondered silently.
He actually discovered such a critical issue long ago:
From Denglai to cross the sea to attack the Jin Kingdom, then from the Liaodong Peninsula to the north, you can directly attack Beijing.
If the Jin people attacked the Song Dynasty from Hebei and Hedong, then could they go against the rules and send a surprise troops across the sea to attack the Jin Kingdom, thereby greatly alleviating the pressure of the Jin people invading the Central Plains?
Strategically feasible.
But there is no doubt that in order to achieve such a strategy, in addition to having strong maritime transportation capabilities, we also have to take a certain degree of risk. After all, there are still quite a lot of unknown risks in cross-sea combat.
But the basic conditions are met.
Back then, the Emperors of the Tang Dynasty were able to cross sea to conquer the east, not to mention that the Song Dynasty, which is now more developed and more mature, has been in the Song Dynasty.
However, the current shipping capacity is limited, and the troops that can be transported to the opposite sea without realizing it is really limited. If you are not careful, you will fall into the vast ocean surrounded by the Jin people.
But once this idea grows, it will be difficult to curb it like weeds in spring.
For two consecutive days, Wang Lin was thinking about the possibility of cross-sea gold collection.
Although the shipbuilding capacity and maritime transportation capacity of the Denglai line are weaker than the southeast coastal line, if we do not hesitate to invest in the construction of large-scale troop transport ships, it will not be impossible to achieve large-scale cross-sea troop transport operations in the future.
Establish a navy?
This is the first time Wang Lin has considered this issue seriously.
As for the joint efforts to destroy Liao, Wang Lin felt that since Emperor Zhao Ji had accidentally arranged for him to cross the sea to negotiate with Jin, this was a good opportunity.
He can go along the way to test the reality of the Jin Kingdom, and secondly, he can find ways to destroy the Song and Jin alliance.
At least make it a makeover.
The so-called maritime alliance is very clear: the Jin Kingdom is responsible for attacking the Dading Prefecture of the Zhongjing of Liao Kingdom, and the Song Dynasty is responsible for attacking the Xijin Prefecture of the Nanjing of Liao Kingdom. If the war is victorious, the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun will be returned to the Dasong.
The Song Dynasty paid tribute to the Jin Kingdom annually for the annual tribute to the Liao Kingdom.
That is, 100,000 taels of silver and 200,000 pieces of silk per year.
Therefore, this is a covenant that the Song Dynasty sought in a low manner. From the beginning, Zhao Ji consciously regarded himself as a child emperor.
But what is the final result?
The Song Dynasty did not take over the land of Yanyun, but the Jin people later destroyed it.
The Jin people who destroyed the Liao Kingdom were instantly awakened to the weakness of the Song Dynasty, and then showed their ferocious fangs. Two hundred thousand troops invaded the south in two directions.
The Jin people always used the Song State, rather than truly forming an alliance with the Song Dynasty.
Wang Lin remembered a joke that Zhang Shuye told him when he was in Tokyo.
According to the past, when the Liao people's mission entered the Northern Song Dynasty, the Song people would deliberately go around a long circle and arrive in Tokyo after walking from Hebei for more than a month. In the past two years, the Jin people's missions had landed in Denglai after they landed in the past two years.
In order to please the Jin people, officials at all levels in the Song Dynasty all the way were green, and they chose the shortest shortcut to rush to the capital, and they could reach Tokyo in less than ten days.
This allowed the ambitious Jin people to understand the geographical situation of the Northern Song Dynasty.
This is why the Jin people seized the eastern territory of Shandong and firmly controlled the sea outlet after invading Hebei.
Therefore, the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty was essentially not the fault of Song Huizong alone, nor was it simply the fault of the six thieves in Cai Jing who harmed the country and the people, but the corruption of grouping from top to bottom.
There is another more important question.
Wang Lin knew very well whether there was a Song-Jin Alliance or a Maritime Alliance, the Jin people would sooner or later destroy the Liao Kingdom, but it might be delayed for two years, up to three years.
The territory of Jin and Liao are connected, and the Jin cavalry swept through invincible. As long as the Jin people slowly advance with their meal strategy, the Khitan group, which is also corrupt, cannot withstand it.
As long as the Jin people destroyed the Liao people, there would be no barrier between the Jin people and the Song people, and a full invasion would be difficult to avoid.
This is the general trend.
The general trend is irreversible.
All Wang Lin is doing now is just to gain time, strengthen combat readiness and reorganize the army, and prepare for this inevitable battle in the future.
As for Song Ting, he had no power to turn the world back.
But even if the Northern Song Dynasty will definitely perish, he still wants to do his best to prevent the Jingkang disaster. At least, the Jin people will not massacre so many Han people, and then abduct the Zhao Song royal women and suffer all the humiliation!
Although the royal family of the Zhao Song Dynasty was unjust, the descendants of the Han family, including the Zhao Song Dynasty, were so innocent. This shame that concerns the country and the country was so painful when Wang Lin thought of it!
As soon as he thought of this, Zhao Fujin's bright eyes and white teeth flashed in front of his eyes, and he couldn't help but sigh.
...
Murong Wan'er hurriedly walked into Wang Lin's study. Because of the incident of crossing the sea to Jin, she had frequented the royal palace in the past two days.
The Murong family has a great hidden power in the Jin Kingdom and is familiar with the situation, so the Murong family's people are the best guide for Wang Lin's mission to send the Jin Dynasty this time.
"The envoys and slaves have already arranged to go to the sea from Penglai and cross the sea to Suzhou, my Murong family will respond in Suzhou, and I believe the Jin people will also arrange reception in Suzhou. But..."
This Suzhou is the Jin people's Suzhou, basically the Dalian area of modern society.
Murong Wan'er hesitated for a moment and said softly: "Murong and the Jin people have been dealing with the Jin people for many years. Although the two countries are about to establish a covenant, the Jin people have always been cruel and untrustful. The key is that they have constant internal disputes... So Wan'er thought about it before and after
, I still think the risk of your escape is quite high."
Wang Lin chuckled, he knew more about these things than Murong Wan'er.
"If the envoy must go, then, I suggest that the envoy should bring at least one guard of no less than a thousand people, and to all cavalry to facilitate mobility. If something goes wrong, return to the sea immediately, and the Jin people will have nothing to do with it.
.In addition, the slave ordered people to prepare more than ten large ships on the coast of Penglai for the envoy to call..."
Wang Lin was silent for a moment before saying, "I have ordered people to mobilize large ships, ten ships are far from enough. Madam Murong, in addition to the necessary military and horse supplies, the caravans of your Murong family and Bohai merchants can also follow me.
Let's go together and we can't suffer any losses when we run this far away."
Murong Wan'er was overjoyed: "Thank you, I will make arrangements now."
Murong Wan'er rushed away excitedly.
With Wang Lin's mission and guards, their Murong family and Bohai merchants transported a large amount of supplies to trade with the Jin people and made a lot of money.
You can even go to Goryeo through Liaodong.
A business that is stable and profitable.
Looking at Murong Wan'er's beautiful back, Wang Lin chuckled a little lightly at the corner of his mouth.
He actually wanted to try the possibility of large-scale cross-sea transportation.
Of course, it would be a slight effort to make money from Murong and his Bohai business.
Murong Wan'er didn't know that Wang Lin decided to take Yan Qing's three thousand tiger divine guards over.
The Tiger God Guard can even cross the sea and land in a few days in advance.
Therefore, Qin Ming and Huang Xin, including Zhao Mingcheng in Laizhou, have been working hard to collect and supervise Wang Lin's large ships to prepare for Wang Lin's cross-sea gold.
At this time, Yan Qing had already led the Tiger God Guard to Dengzhou and standby.
After careful consideration, Wang Lin decided to take Wu Song, Shi Jin and Li Kui as escorts to accompany him. After all, when he was in a tiger and wolf nest like the Jin people, he could be said to be dangerous step by step and could not be ignored.
Wu Song and Shi Jin Li Kui and the other two were heroes in the battle, so it was most appropriate to serve as guards.
The three of them have now left the military camp, moved into the Jiedu Mansion, and entered the escort state in advance.
...
One minute at noon.
Wang Lin was reading the official documents of various states in his study, and suddenly heard from the Marquis of Yu come to report: "There is a great man named Lin who said he was an old acquaintance of the envoy and made a special trip to ask for a visit."
Wang Lin browed, the surname Lin?... Could it be Lin Chong?
Wang Lin slowly stood up, and what should come will come eventually.
To be honest, he has been waiting for this day for a long time.
In the front yard, Lin Chong carried his luggage, held a spear, and a hat, with a dusty face.
Wang Lin walked out slowly and said lightly: "Who am I supposed to be? It turns out to be the leader of Lin! Lin Chong, you are so brave. You dare to come to Qingzhou alone and dare to enter the official house of the governor of the Fuhu Army.
,Aren’t you afraid that my official will order someone to take it down?"
Lin Chong's expression remained unchanged, and he bowed his hand with his fists: "I'm here to ask about it. I'm definitely not here as a person from Liangshan. Please don't be surprised."
Wang Lin smiled faintly: "Well, today I will not treat you as Lin Chong, Lin Chong, but only treat you as Lin Chong, a hero in the martial arts world. If you have something to do, just say it."
"I'm asking the envoy, I'm in my wife, but I'm in my envoy's mansion?"
Lin Chong's lips pursed and his face twitched.
Wang Lin's expression remained unchanged.
The incident of his rescue of Zhang Zhenniang in Tokyo was very disturbing at the time.
It is inevitable that the news will be leaked.
In addition, he had saved Zhang Zhenniang and Jin'er several times before. If Lin Chong had conducted a detailed investigation, these things would not be difficult to detect.
Besides, he never wanted to escape or deny these things.
"Lin Chong, how can your wife be in my mansion?" Wang Lin said with a smile.
Lin Chong clenched his teeth: "Wang Lin, you are a second-rank official from the Song Dynasty, with a high position and a powerful position. Since you have done some things, can you still deny them?"
Wang Lin couldn't help laughing: "Lin Chong, what I did has nothing to do with you, what do I need to deny? I think you must have confused a key issue - the lady you mentioned was written as early as you did back then
I gave up my divorce letter and disappeared when I left Tokyo. From then on, I left each other and didn’t owe each other. Didn’t this be said by you in person?”
Lin Chong looked angry: "I wrote the divorce letter at that time, but I had to do it! I went to Tokyo to visit my wife one day, but I didn't expect that my wife was actually raped by you, Wang Lin, relying on your power, I just want to come to you today
Ask for justice!”
"Isn't it a hero who robs a wife and daughter? Wang Lin, aren't you afraid of being ridiculed by heroes in the world?"
Wu Song, Shi Jin and Li Kui heard the movement and broke out. Seeing Lin Chong like this, Wu Song couldn't help but say angrily: "What a thief, how dare you disrespect the envoy!"
Li Kui even said nothing, and swung his axe and rushed upwards.
He didn't care about anything. Anyone who was enemies of Wang Lin was his life and death vengeance, and he could only fight to the death.
"Stop! Stay there!"
Wang Lin waved his hand to stop Wu Song and the other two from intervening, and sneered: "I'll steal your wife? Lin Chong, are you shameless?!"
"Do you have to do it? Did you do it with it? Or did you want to draw a clear line with a weak woman at that time so that the Gao family and son would not let you die?"
"Lin Chong, you are so hypocritical that people look down on you. Even if you wrote your divorce letter out of helplessness, what can you do? After you settled in Liangshan, why didn't you go to Tokyo to visit as soon as possible? What did you do?"
"You know how arrogant and domineering Gao Yanei is, and you know what Zhenniang will face alone in Tokyo, but you didn't help you in time. What's the reason? It's just that you are afraid of Gao Qiu's power and unwilling to be a woman.
Forge a life-and-death hatred with the Gao family."
"Wang Lin, don't swear by others. How can I, Lin, be afraid of Gao Qiu, this traitor!"
"You don't admit it yet? Since you are not afraid of power, why don't you kill Gao Yanei's disaster with one knife and eliminate the harm for the people?"
Wang Lin sneered in his heart, Lin Chong is a person who is afraid of both the powerful and the rat. Gao Qiu was captured by Song Jiang in Water Margin. If you were bloody, you would have killed Gao Qiu at that time. What can Song Jiang do to you?
But in the end, Gao Qiu escaped safely. I didn't see you doing anything to Gao Qiu.
"You still have the face to come to my house and ask for justice from me? When Gao Yanei repeatedly bullied and humiliated your wife, why didn't you ask for justice from Gao Yanei and Gao Qiu?"
"If you were a little bit masculine, you should have killed Gao Yanei and Lu Yuhou to save your wife from being humiliated, and then left, why would you be framed by Gao Qiu and stabbed Cangzhou and eventually become a bandit in Liangshan!"
"Good guy, now I feel that I have become the Lord of Liangshan, have soldiers and courage in my heart, so I dare to come to my house to seek justice?"
Lin Chong was angry, but he was talking about him: "I hate to seize my wife, Wang Lin, don't think you are now in a high position and powerful position and have heavy troops. Lin dared not do anything. Today, I will rely on the gun to save me.
My wife comes out!”
Wang Lin laughed furiously: "Hate of taking away your wife? Lin Chong, you are a poor worm on both ends of the head and rat, a turtle who fears the powerful and lacks blood. Just because of you, a stupid grass-roots person,
Dare to be presumptuous in front of me!…”
Before Wang Lin finished speaking, Zhang Zhenniang was supported by Jin'er and turned quiet and turned from the backyard.
Her quiet and thin body stood under the light red arch, and she glanced coldly at Lin Chong. Then she bowed to Wang Lin for a blessing, and then said softly: "I'll ask my husband not to be angry, since he has come to the door,
I will talk to him.”
"Okay." Wang Lin nodded.
Lin Chong's face suddenly became ferocious and distorted.
His wife actually called Wang Lin the husband, which shows that what he found was true.
