Start: Datang Wanli a lonely city

Chapter 516 The Legend of the Sea Kingdom
"Qin Zhongcheng, Xiangzhou is not far ahead, and he is about to enter the territory controlled by the Yue family army of the Great Song Dynasty."

A Jin Guomouke centurion acting as a guard, a Jurchen named Tata, reported this to Qin Hui in the carriage.

During the whole process, no matter the expression on the face or the tone of voice, they were quite polite.

Seeing this, even with such an expression and tone, it was not the first time Qin Hui had encountered him; but he was still a little flattered, as if he was not used to it.

no way!Who called half a month ago.

Not to mention facing such a Jurchen Muketata, even if it is an ordinary Jurchen, Qin Hui would have to make a flattering smile.

It's like a dog wagging its tail after meeting its owner.

All of a sudden, such a person who used to have to work hard to please himself has become a person who takes the initiative to please himself; not to mention, Qin Hui was not used to it for a while.

Of course, although he felt a little unaccustomed, he still felt a little exasperated in his heart.

It was only when he thought about the reason why these Jurchens who once wished to grow their eyes to the top of their heads had such an astonishing change.

The whole person is a little bad...

Today is the 22nd of November, the first year of Maode.

Ever since that day, the Emperor of the Kingdom of Jin, Wanyan Wu, begged to buy, and a group of nobles and high-ranking civil and military officials had agreed in the court hall on how to deal with the Northern Expedition of the Great Song Dynasty.

On the second day, Qin Hui, who was threatened and exhorted by Wan Yanchang Haosheng, took his wife, Wang Shi, and under the protection of this Jurchen, the centurion, and fifty or sixty golden soldiers, began to rush. Return to the Song Dynasty.

Before leaving, what did Wan Yanchang tell him?
Why not tell him clearly after handing over millions of money and treasures to him:
After returning to the Great Song Dynasty, we must use the money to help them lobby for Dajin, so that the Song people will give up their plan for the Northern Expedition.

As long as such a task is completed, there will naturally be more benefits,

If not, all the good and scandalous things he did in the Kingdom of Jin that amounted to defecting to the enemy would all be publicized in the Song Dynasty, so that he would not have a good end.

It is also for such a reason, after hearing the saying that 'I am about to enter Xiangzhou and return to the territory of the Song Dynasty'.

Qin Hui sighed in his heart, the Tata, which used to be so awesome, is actually so condescending.

Involuntarily raised his head and looked forward, although there was still a long distance between Xiangzhou City and he couldn't see anything now, he still couldn't help but keep looking over.

The emotions in my heart are quite complicated.

On the one hand, he, who has long been accustomed to the prosperity of the Song Dynasty, has indeed been quite unaccustomed to it during the period of time in Jinren's territory.

Being able to return to Song Dynasty and Kaifeng, I was naturally overjoyed.

On the other hand, he is very worried now, or he may put it another way, and he doesn't know how to complete the account of the Jurchen under the circumstances that 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 in Zhuxian Town, the situation of the Song and Jin countries has been reversed; just like the former Jin country, no matter what, they would not let go of such a big piece of fat as the Song Dynasty.

Now that Song Dynasty clearly has an absolute advantage, how can he let go of Jin Guo, a big enemy.

Just when Qin Hui was very worried about this matter, a voice behind him said: "Officer, are you worried about the Song Dynasty's strike? I have some solutions here."

After hearing these words, Qin Hui immediately lifted his spirits.

The person who spoke was none other than Qin Hui's wife, Wang Shi.

The Wang family is not simple, she is the granddaughter of Wang Gui, the famous "Prime Minister of the Three Orders" during the Shenzong period of the Northern Song Dynasty, and she is definitely a descendant of a famous family.

Even Hu Biao and the others are very familiar with each other. The dead eunuch Tong Guan and Tong Taishi are the godfather of this Wang family.

Therefore, after Wang, a woman who was born in a famous family and had extraordinary knowledge since she was a child, opened her mouth, Qin Hui immediately asked:
"Oh, what's the trick, madam?"

There was a look of anticipation in the eyes while speaking.

As for Mrs. Wang, a pretty woman at her current age, she was between voluntary and forced during this period of time in the Kingdom of Jin.

Qin Hui didn't care much about what happened with those Jurchens.

After hearing the words, Mrs. Wang immediately expressed her plan:
"How else? The so-called gentleman can deceive others. The court of the Song Dynasty is different from the Jin Dynasty. It always cares about the opinions of the people, especially the scholars.
The concubine's natal family still has some relations among the officialdom and scholars in the Song Dynasty.

As long as the officials send some goods to them, they will surely come out and say the words "God has the virtue of being good, and conquering people with virtue"; as long as enough people say it, it will always have some effect. "

Under such a statement, Qin Hui immediately felt a sense of enlightenment.

He is also a scholar, so of course he is very clear about what some of them are.

With a relaxed mood, he immediately said affectionately to Mrs. Wang: "Madam, you are really my good wife~"

Hearing such a compliment, Mrs. Wang also winked on the spot; but without waiting for the two of them to do anything else, she suddenly heard the Jurchens seeking to conquer the centurion.

It is said that he also had an unknown relationship with Wang, and his mouth was filled with a terrified roar: "No, the enemy is attacking, everyone quickly form an array..."

Three days later, on the front page of the "Da Song Times", there was an article like this:
...According to the urgent report from Xiangzhou Yue's deputy privy envoy Kuai Ma, three days ago in the border area of ​​Xiangzhou, Qin Hui, the prime minister of the former imperial censor of the Great Song Dynasty, and his wife, Wang Shi, encountered the famous thief "One Ear" in the area.

After a fierce battle, Qin Yushi was killed by the owl's head after being hit by more than twenty arrows.

Xi Wang's wife, after being humiliated by everyone, died of a ruptured Gu Dao.

After hearing the news, Deputy Privy Envoy Yue quickly mobilized an army to encircle and suppress "One Ear" and a group of followers under his command; but this thief saw that he had caused a heinous disaster, and immediately disbanded and fled without a trace...

It is also heard that the Jin people took the initiative to release Qin Yushi and return to Song Dynasty at this time.

The fight is to return the plundered royal nobles, civil and military officials of the court, all the gold and silver goods, and to profess my ministers to the Song Dynasty in exchange for stopping the Northern Expedition.

Our reporter interviewed the prime minister of the Song Dynasty, the privy envoy, and the Duke of Qin Hu Yitong Hu Gong on this matter.

Hu Gongyan, Wanyan Wu begged to buy a false emperor who stole a high position, and all the Haidong Jurchens were people who feared power and did not cherish morality; this time begging for mercy was just trying to delay time.

When he regains his strength in the future, he will definitely continue to spy on my flower-planting artifact without dying of ambition.

So give up all the mention of the Northern Expedition, all the royal family, nobles, civil and military officials, I, the Heavenly Soldiers of the Song Dynasty, will personally rescue them.

I also respectfully tell Wanyan Wu to beg to buy the false emperor, if I don’t want the whole family to be destroyed after the Heavenly Soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty are killed, it is best to bind myself in front of our army, and let the Jurchen clan have some way to survive.

If not, destroy its species and exterminate its descendants...

In short, in the above headline news, the content expressed is:
Qin Hui and his wife met robbers and died on the way back to the Song Dynasty, and they died miserably.

It's a pity that the 'one ear' escaped, but it doesn't matter, Da Song has already issued a sea arrest document, and this villain must be brought to justice.

In addition, the grandchildren of the Kingdom of Jin, don't think about the good thing of stopping the army.

Putting down your weapons and surrendering is your only way to survive.

Not to mention that such a "Da Song Times" was sent back to Shangjing when the Jin people didn't know how many good horses ran to death.

Seeing the above content, Wanyan Wu Qimai and all the senior executives of the Kingdom of Jin had to give up their final fantasy while cursing.

Regardless of the Northland at this moment, it has entered the season of ice and snow.

They began to mobilize as much as possible, with all the strength at hand.

Facing a group of local powerful people such as Han, Liao, Xi, Bohai, etc., they are now separated from each other, each with their own ideas, and began to pretend to be a snake.

The Jurchens mobilized all males over the age of 14 and under the age of 60.

Began to frantically build weapons and armor, and even forced the master craftsmen of the Han people to find ways to build some ballistas and gunpowder weapons to fight against the enemy.

In Kaifeng City, after Hu Biao put down the "Da Song Times" in his hand.

Facing the singer, the owner of Dongchang, he nodded and said:
"This matter is done well, but there should be no future troubles, right? If this is the case, we will have a better reputation, and I'm afraid we will be stigmatized again."

After hearing the words, the singer replied confidently:
"Worry about the wool, only 'One Ear' himself knows that our Dongchang ordered this incident; the other bandits thought it was just an ordinary robbery.

'One Ear' has taken advantage of the troubled times in recent years, and his subordinates have been stained with the blood debts of many people. Now they have already been dealt with, and the dead can't speak. "

After hearing this, Hu Biao let go of the last worry in his heart.

Yes, that's right!The fact that Qin Hui was attacked halfway was not an accident at all.

Since the first battle in Zhuxian Town, although all the local tyrants in the Northland have not taken the initiative to join them with great fanfare so far.

However, such things as private contacts and courtships have not been done less at all.

It can be regarded as the intelligence network of Dongchang in the North, but it has expanded rapidly like rolling.

Therefore, when Qin Hui and his wife were in the carriage and they arrived near Yanjing, the relevant information was sent to Singer and Hu Biao through Fei Ge's letter.

Without any hesitation, they made a plan to kill Qin Hui and his wife on the way.

Why?In the Song Dynasty, there was a stinky rule of not punishing scholar-bureaucrats.

Even when Geng Nanzhong voluntarily confessed to the top-level crime of surrendering to the enemy and traitorous country under the circumstances of the joint trial of the three divisions, the people still have huge opposition to the decision to execute him.

To be more precise, it was a group of scholar-bureaucrats 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.

After Qin Hui came back, even if they produced relevant evidence, it would still be troublesome to kill this guy.

So Hu Biao and the others simply killed the pair on the way, so as not to quarrel after returning.

As for why, Hu Biao must kill Qin Hui and his wife?In such a world, they don't have time to do so many wrong things. Is there any need for this?

joke!Hu Biao and the others are just a group of ordinary people, and they are not plane judges who talk about evidence and reason.

If I really want to let Qin Hui go, I won't be able to sleep thinking about it when I go back...

*******
As time went by, the time had come to December of the first year of Maode.

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

However, in Kaifeng City, with the preparations for the Northern Expedition, one after another, the atmosphere in Kaifeng City became more and more heated.

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

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

Thanks to the existence of a large number of veterans, the formation process is relatively smooth for the current [-] divisions.

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

Talent, no matter where it is placed, will always be talent.

Among these people, Yu Yunwen, the youngest, is only sixteen or seventeen years old now, but in just a month or so, during the training in the new barracks, he has already stood out because of his outstanding performance far surpassing the 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 resume, look at it, good guy!Isn't this some familiar names and characters in later generations?
As for how to arrange these people, should they be promoted while they are still there.

Such things caused Hu Biao to temporarily call everyone over for a short meeting tonight.

After some discussion, Hu Biao interrupted the quarrel among the people by knocking on the table, and began to say: "Well, let's not do that.

Moreover!Today's new army of the Song Dynasty is completely different from the previous army. Even some veteran generals may not be able to play with the firearms army.

Therefore, Han Shizhong, Zhang Jun, and Yang Cunzhong, these three have rich military experience, it is good to arrange a company commander first.

With the abilities of these people, I believe they can still stand out with their solid military exploits.

At that time, according to the rules of the military, it is good to promote normally.

As for Liu Guangshi, he is a bastard among the four generals of ZTE, and his fame is only a hero made by the times; let him deliver food and grass during the Northern Expedition, and then wait to be eliminated by history.

For Yu Yunwen, I think it’s best to let him go to the navy for some experience, and it can be regarded as cultivating a seed for Dahanghai after we leave. "

After saying this, Hu Biao turned his head to look at the imperial concubine again, and said something in his mouth:
"Don't say that we don't promote style. Gao Chong, a fierce man, can be your guard, but pay attention to the influence, so don't just find someone to talk about poetry and songs?"

Hu Biao's exhortation was mainly because after seeing Gao Chong's name, the concubine's expression became quite excited.

"Fuck you, how much you don't believe me~" After hearing this sentence, the concubine lost her composure which is rare.

In the following time, he solemnly explained:
"It is true that after hearing the name of the little brother Gao Chong, I was more excited, but that was only based on the excitement of fans seeing idols.

So let Gao Chong go to the cavalry division and become a company commander, it's a pity to stay by my side. "

In response to such a statement, Hu Biao nodded immediately, and it was considered that the arrangement of the above personnel was confirmed.

In the following time, everyone didn't even have an activity to have a supper together, so they hurriedly dispersed; after all, they are so busy that they are about to fly...

After everyone left, Hu Biao glanced at the clock in the corner, and found that the time on it was past eleven o'clock in the evening.

What needs to be explained is that this kind of boss clock is a new product recently launched by the Department of Commerce.

It belongs to the product that Hu Biao and others put forward a concept, and then some jewelry craftsmen developed it; with the craftsmanship of these people, as long as the concept is established, processing is not a problem at all.

Although he was a bit bigger, he finally didn't have to rely on the watchman to tell the time.

Even though it was late at night, Hu Biao sat at his desk again after washing his face with cold water and stimulating his spirit.

But this time, instead of continuing to review official documents, he began to organize the language and write a book called "Pictures of Sea Countries".

Specifically, in the book, it is proposed that the world they live in is actually a huge sphere.

The most important thing is that after introducing the topography, population, sea route and so on of each continent on this sphere.

Among them, Hu Biao emphasized.

In the island country across the river from them, there is a huge Iwami Silver Mountain, which contains 200 tons of silver, which is more than 5000 million taels.

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

Among them, the land is fertile, and crops can be grown as long as the seeds are dropped; various specialties such as gold, silver, and fur are abundant.

The natives living above are all descendants of merchants with yellow skin and eyes.

Although he occupied the treasure land, he still lived a backward life like a savage.

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 Dasong.

Above, there are only a few sporadic indigenous lives, but it is the land promised by God to grow flowers.

In short, Hu Biao wants to use such a book to stimulate the impulse of the Song Dynasty to start a great voyage; to occupy all these treasured places early on.

Let the teeth of later generations, John's family, eat all of them.

It is precisely for this reason that he drew many pictures of "Galenian Ship", "Clark Ship" and "Treasure Ship" on the back of the book.

Although the appearance is a bit ugly, but it can also be used as a reference for the craftsmen behind, so as to avoid some detours.

As for why this book is still called "Pictures of Sea Country"?
That's Wei Yuan who wrote this book. This big man who was originally known as "No. 1 in planting flowers and opening his eyes to see the world" in history is actually a fellow of Hu Biao.

It can be regarded as a way to pay tribute...
