Yili Chucai continued to communicate with maritime merchants.
On the third day, light cavalry came rushing from the direction of Ye County, saying that the Mongolian army had sent envoys to Zhongdu to intimidate the imperial court and reward the troops to quell the anger of the generals.
The sudden rise of the Mongols, although they are powerful in terms of force, is actually quite rough in terms of diplomatic methods. Before, the two families were just fighting each other to kill each other. As soon as this envoy came, everyone in the Zhongdu court knew that,
The Mongolian army was ready to retreat, and the whole city was immediately filled with civil and military joy.
The subsequent developments of this matter will naturally gradually affect various places. Since Guo Ning received the news on this day, he sent his servants to Sanshan Port to hear the idea of moving Chu materials.
Yizai Chucai had already prepared a draft about this, so he asked his disciples to wait a moment. With his writing skills flying, he wrote a statement detailing the situation. He said in the statement that as soon as the Mongolian army retreated, Zhongdu would be destroyed.
The conflict between the two sides in Nanjing will inevitably be fierce, and without the threat of the Mongols, Yang An'er will also try to reach out to the outside world.
Among the three parties, the Zhongdu court naturally has the loudest voice and the most momentum, but they have no soldiers, but there are ruined lands on all sides. Food is in short supply, and the situation is the most difficult. Therefore, after a few roars, sooner or later they will stop.
The Shandong sea route controlled by the navy is the only stable source of supplies in Zhongdu. At that time, maybe we can join hands with the big shots in Zhongdu to dig into the corners of the court and get some extra benefits.
Yang An'er's headquarters has been renovating all winter, but it still hasn't shown any effective means of governing the place. On the contrary, the size of the tribe is getting larger and larger, with dragons and snakes mixed together.
What our side needs to pay attention to is that there will inevitably be idiots in its unit who are instigated by others and initiate provocations. If someone really provokes them, they must strike hard to cut off their chance thoughts. The harder the blows, the more conscious the leaders such as Yang An'er will be, and Denglai will
Three states can also ensure stability.
As for King Sui, don't worry about it for now. As a son, what he is most worried about now is his father. Just as what a father hates most is his son. The next drama between father and son will be the main part, maybe Yang An'er's command and Ding Haijun
They are all just watching the show, so there is no way to know.
So generally speaking, we can just follow the steps step by step. We just need to be careful of Yang An'er's shield and be prepared to repair the burrs for him.
At the end of the document, Yizai Chucai mentioned in passing that the maritime merchants were acting unscrupulously. The previous statement that they were looking for collaborators among the maritime merchants had slightly changed, and they would have to wait a little longer.
Guo Ning received the statement and read it, and ordered Han Xuan and Qiu Huiluo to increase the level of preparations for war. The rest of the places were as usual. As for the maritime business, this was not a setback. Zhao Bin and Zhou Keshan first followed their own plans.
Just get ready at the right pace.
In the past few days, Zhao Bin has contacted many former lords in Ye County.
In troubled times, ordinary big-headed soldiers are almost disposable consumables. Even experienced soldiers rarely survive long wars with their bodies intact. When Guo Ning eliminated the old and weak before, he used most of them to
They were all placed in local areas and served as local officials responsible for public security, and some of them became the military force directly under the Recording Department.
Among them, there are many people like Zhao Bin who are unwilling to give in; there are also people who have been stable for a while, and after feeling comfortable, they are itchy and want to fight. The physical condition and age of these veterans are no longer suitable for life in the army.
, Guo Ning's main force needs to march long distances and fight continuously. They can't bear it no matter what, but if they want to go to the sea to fight and do some ruthless things that kill people and steal wealth...
This is okay!
How fresh and interesting is this? The sea! I went from the grassland to Tangluo and then to the city of Zhongdu. I really don’t know what the sea looks like!
What? You said I can’t swim? Can’t I learn? Even if I can’t, damn it, I’m floating on the water with a board in my left hand, and I can still hold a bow and arrow in my right hand to kill people! Believe it or not!
Okay, okay, I know I can't shoot a bow with one hand. What I mean is, if I do it, you can talk to Xu Jin and ask him to let him go. Under his hands, there are several local tycoons he is watching.
Badu is as honest as a rabbit, and has nothing to do all day long... The sword in my hand is already hungry and thirsty, and I have long wanted to move it!
However, within three to five days, Xu Jin's Secretary of Records and the Secretary of Government who had raped Chu Cai were poached at the same time. Fortunately, not many people were poached, and the total number of people poached was over a hundred.
The soldier, who was in his early 100s, quickly packed his bags and prepared to set off with Zhao Bin.
Zhao Bin then returned to Jieshuai's Mansion and met with Zhou Keshan to discuss his next step.
Zhou Keshan made a suggestion, but Zhao Bin was stunned.
"What? Yifeng Town?"
After Zhao Bin agreed to Guo Ning, he made preparations and rushed to a new foothold. But now it is said that this team of people are full of pride and are about to rush to the sea. The base is actually inland? Or was it built by Zhao Bin with all his efforts?
Yifeng Town Tunpu?
What's the point of this? Is it really such a clever method?
Zhao Binhu asked: "Old Zhou, are you trying to trick me?"
Fortunately, Zhou Keshan was indeed a great expert in this field. He laughed and took the map and explained it to Zhao Bin on the spot.
The maritime trade between the Song Dynasty and the Jin Kingdom was naturally centered on the Jiaoxi Forging Market officially recognized by the two countries. The so-called Jiaoxi Forging Market was located in Banqiao Town, Mizhou.
After Taihe conquered the Song Dynasty, the Jin Kingdom closed down the Jiaoxi foraging market in anger, and the entire Banqiao town also declined rapidly. However, the lingering shadow of the past few decades still lingers, and there are still many smugglers operating there, even if
Ding Haijun invited maritime traders at Sanshan Port, but many people still gathered in Banqiao Town, intending to do some business with Yang An'er's headquarters.
This Banqiao town is indeed a treasure. The sea outside the town is not directly the deep sea, but there is a huge bay. This bay has a radius of hundreds of miles, and the opening is narrow. No matter how windy and rough the waves are outside, the inside of the bay is still calm.
Looking inland where the town is located, there is a river with abundant water next to the town called Zhanshui. On both sides of Zhanshui, there used to be many shipyards, which could repair Tongzhou-like sea ships and Song Dynasty's lucky ships.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Zhanshui is a river that flows from north to south. The river is very wide, and sea ships can sail directly in, and even go north along the river for dozens of miles without any problem.
Sometimes the wind direction at sea is wrong, so merchants will take advantage of the water and head directly north, and then transfer the materials via land to the port on the Bohai side of Laizhou.
After doing this for a long time, this material transfer point on the water has become an inconspicuous but real link in the entire coastal trade route.
Zhao Bin narrowed his eyes: "So, where is the link you are talking about?"
"It's Yifeng Town."
Zhou Keshan clicked on the map and said with a smile: We will settle in the jurisdiction of Ding Haijun, go down the river, and go to Yang An'er's territory to go to sea. You can advance and retreat, which is very suitable, right? I will go after you arrive at Yifeng Town.
Once at Fushan Island, recruit a few sailors and find a way to bring another ship... Don't worry, what should be there will come sooner or later!"
Zhao Bin chuckled.
He was mainly responsible for the fighting. Since Zhou Keshan had already made arrangements, what else was there to say? Immediately, a group of people set off back to Yifeng Town.
Most of the group were veterans with outstanding military achievements, and the military government respected them very much, so they sent a team of large vehicles to travel with them. Because the caravan was still confidential, Guo Ning did not come out to see them off with any fanfare, and only sent someone to drive an extra large vehicle.
Join the team. The passengers on the cart are not people, but eight strong bleating sheep.
Wang Erbai laughed loudly and said that Guo Jiedu was really a good person.
He spent the entire return journey sitting in the cart, petting the sheep one after another and giving each one a name.
When they arrived at the camp in Yifeng Town, they found that there was a bit of chaos inside the camp. Many villagers were shouting and shouting on the outer wall, and some were running out with swords and guns. There was no formation at all.
The accompanying veterans immediately laughed and laughed at Zhao Bin, whose team was unqualified and did not manage the camp well at all.
Zhao Bin frowned and immediately called for questioning.
After asking a few questions, he came back with a strange expression.
The old soldiers are already packing up their armor and weapons.
Zhou Keshan asked: "What's wrong?"
Zhao Bin sighed with emotion: "Old Zhou, I think I, Zhao, am going to make a comeback! Our great luck has come!"
"luck?"
"Well, don't believe me when I tell you, we already have a boat."
