Chapter 679 The enemy is in Kaifeng mansion seven
Yongzhen Taiwan, Luzon, Ryukyu!
Think about it, the future is bright! Although the light may be hundreds of years later, the predecessors plant trees and the future generations enjoy the cool!
Moreover, as long as Liu Da, Wang Bao and Niu Ji, the three bad guys can find a piece of land in Taiwan, Luzon and Ryukyu, they are the dignified officials of the Song Dynasty! At least they have to borrow from the third rank of the ninth rank plus the head of the village, and they can also establish their own officials, set up tax cards, and recruit military troops themselves, just like a king... Although they still have the intention of occupying the island as king, they are "island kings" with certificates and entrusted. They are not afraid of the government's desire to pursue them. What a good future?
After drawing the big cakes and drinking the wine, the day after the turn of the day was the day when the "Columbus" of the Song Dynasty set sail.
Jiehe Commercial City, Naval Academy Port.
The weather was not very good. The sky was filled with thick dark clouds, and the north wind was strong, causing the ships next to the dock to fluctuate. The sailors and sailors affiliated with Jiehe Maritime Bus Company had already boarded the ship. The bad people who had a big meal last night also carried their luggage under the supervision of the fully armed Zui Bu Zhannu Soldiers and boarded the ship for the first time.
Although bad people will become "great men" in future history books, Wu Haogu still treats them as thieves now. When he was having dinner at the municipal office last night, the 200 Bu Zhan slave soldiers were wearing iron armor and swords and shields, ready to suppress them at any time!
Today, along the way from the municipal office building, Jiehe Shang City Police Station and Dadu Security Station all sent cavalry to block the road along the way. The 200 Bu Zhan slave soldiers were fully armed and escorted all the way!
In addition, there were no sharp tools on the three merchant ships of "Taiwan", "Luzon" and "Ryukyu" where bad people were riding. There was not even a kitchen knife! The sailors only had sticks to use the tools of self-defense.
All the weapons and armors equipped for the "bad people" are installed on the "Zhaocai".
On the "Zhaocai" warship, there were more than 200 fully armed Maritime Marine Division sailors. They were all officers and soldiers under the jurisdiction of the Wudao Commander. They were all transferred to the Jiehe Maritime Division by Wu Haogu and picked up military pay several times higher than before.
However, this generous salary is not easy to get! Wu Haogu adopted the "regular assessment system" and the "end elimination system" to deal with these old soldiers who had not trained for many days. After several months of rectification, this group of people could finally pull the bow, shoot archery and jump to the water battle.
At the same time, because of the name of the Wudao Envoy, Wu Haogu could justify the "Zhaocai" with "controlled weapons" such as bed crossbows, large fireballs, iron fireballs, etc.
Although the armed forces of the "Zhaocai" are far from being compared with sail warships equipped with artillery. However, in this era, there was only one "quasi-navy" of the Song Dynasty naval army. The "Zhaocai" with no rivals was actually an "invincible warship" that could roam the sea.
Wu Haogu also went to the Pier Dock of the Shipbuilding School to see off the bad people on the expedition. Hu Yanqing, who served as the commander of the long-distance fleet, was with Wu Haogu at this time, and his dark face showed a hint of tragedy.
"Xuanzan, they will never come back, right?" Hu Yanqing asked Wu Haogu in a low voice.
Boat tickets to Taiwan, Ryukyu and Luzon are all one-way!
Wu Haogu nodded, "It's worth not to come back! The seaside is more than 100,000 miles, there are always people who want to expand their territory! They are only the first batch, and there will be more people going to go in the future. There are so many evil people in our Song Dynasty, and the total number of people sentenced to exile and death sentences is more than 10,000 people every year. If they are all scattered, how much land can they occupy?
Xiadu, our Maritime Conservatory fleet will continue to expand in the future. We will leave it to you, Wu Side and Huaman Cang. Do it well, this is a great achievement in opening up the territory! In the northwest, thousands of casualties can only be killed or injured. We can occupy an island with only a few hundred people, which is too much cost-effective."
"What Xuanzan said is very true."
Wu Haogu looked up at the sky, "It's getting late, Xiadu, go and go early... When I arrive in Mingzhou, remember to send a message to the Suhang Industrial Bureau to report safety. If you need it, you can also ask the Suhang Industrial Bureau for help."
"The official understands, the official said goodbye!"
"There will be a time later!"
Of course, Hu Yanqing's fleet would not drive directly from Jiehe Shangshi to Ryukyu, so he would not find the direction to drive like this. Therefore, the route that Huamancang, who had been running for half his life (he was the bow of the Zhaocai ship), set for Hu Yanqing was to go south to Mingzhou first, and then hire a guide in Mingzhou to lead the way to Ryukyu.
After taking down Ryukyu, he went from Ryukyu to Yizhou (Taiwan), established a stronghold in Yizhou, and then returned to Mingzhou to rest and replenish supplies. Finally, he set out from Mingzhou to bypass Yizhou and go to Luzon.
This series of actions certainly requires a yamen to provide support in Mingzhou. This yamen is naturally the Suhang Construction Bureau.
The Suhang Arts Bureau was a specialized yamen for the production and collection of rare artifacts led by Wu Haogu's father Wu Chengzhi and Mi Fu. It was considered a dispatched agency of the palace. The yamen was not big, but it was able to reach the sky. Wu Haogu not only entrusted the support for Taiwan, Ryukyu and Luzon to the Suhang Arts Bureau, but also used the name of the Suhang Arts Bureau to set up a "horse-picking service" in the Qitong Port of Quanzhou, which was specially used to acquire the Tianzhu Zheer horses transported by sea.
...
"Xiao Li worship, how did you come back from Kaifeng Mansion?"
After watching the four sea boats commanded by Hu Yanqing set sail and heading east along the Jiehe River, Wu Haogu just returned to his mansion in Jiehe Market and ran into the dusty Li Yan in his living room.
This Li Yan is the big dick among the six thieves in history. He has not reached that level yet, but he has already made his mark. He has taken some unknown means, and has recognized Li Zhong, who is now promoted to the Imperial City Department, as his godfather, and was also elected by Li Zhong as an agent of the Jiehe Yingfeng Bureau. A month ago, he had just taken a batch of high-quality wood imported from the Liao Dynasty to Kaifeng Prefecture, but he did not expect to return to Jiehe Commercial City so soon.
Li Yan is not very old, with a straight facial features and a white face. However, he is not the kind of "sissy" eunuch, but Kong Wu's powerful military eunuch, who is really a bit like his godfather Li Zhong.
When Li Yan heard Wu Haogu’s question, he smiled bitterly: “Xuanzan, do you think our family likes riding horses day and night? Isn’t it that the official has ordered our family to travel day and night to Jiehe Commercial City?”
"During day and night?" Wu Haogu was stunned, "Is it because the officials are worried about something unusual in Liao?"
Now the northwest Song and Xia have officially started fighting, and the Song Dynasty has also taken the lead and demonstrated extraordinary combat effectiveness. It is not surprising that the Liao Kingdom has intervened to a certain extent under this situation.
Before Li Yan could speak, Wu Haogu laughed: "Don't worry, the Liao Kingdom can't make any move at the moment. The son of Mogus, Huerzhahusi, rebelled again, and he will have to struggle for a few more years."
Zhu Bukelie's tribe was simply a stubborn young hero. After a few years of my death, my son Huerzhahusi took over the cross banner of rebellion and fought against the Daliao.
Although the strength of the Khalid tribe is limited, it will definitely not be able to defeat the Khalids. However, with them making trouble on the grassland, the Khalids were unable to use troops south. After all, the Khalids are no longer as good as before. They can fight only tens of thousands of palace tent soldiers and elite tribes. The Zubu grassland is boundless, and the Zubu tribe is also erratic. The troops invested too little, so I couldn't find where the Khalid tribe was.
So after using tens of thousands of elite troops to attack the Kelie tribe, the Khitans could not withdraw their troops to threaten the Song Dynasty.
Moreover, through investing in Jiehe Market, most of the prominent people in the Great Liao Kingdom made a fortune.
In this case, who is willing to provoke a war easily?
"No, not the north." Li Yan shook his head. It was the west. He took out the handwritten edict written by Zhao Ji, "The official's order is here, so you can read it yourself."
"West?" Wu Haogu was stunned, but he still took Zhao Ji's order, looked carefully, and laughed, "It turned out to be a house business..."
Li Yan said: "Xuanzan, this is not a trivial matter... The adoptive father asked our family to send you a message: The future of Taiwei Gao depends on whether there is a house!"
"Isn't it just a house?" Wu Haogu smiled, "A small matter!"
...
"Just 3,000 houses, it's not difficult for Wu Haogu..."
At the same time, Cai Jing and his son, who were sailing slowly on the Jinshui River, were also talking about the house issue.
"Even the officials feel that Wu Haogu will have any tricks?"
Cai You obviously didn't believe his father Cai Jing's comments. He was also someone who played with Zhao Ji, so he naturally knew what Zhao Ji was thinking. 3,000 houses are indeed a bit too much! According to the current market price of a three-bedroom "tube building" unit in Kaifeng Prefecture, this is nearly 10 million!
It took only a few thousand elite soldiers to spend 10 million yuan, which makes the officials feel distressed!
Cai Jing smiled and shook his head: "If the official family can do everything, what should we do if they do? The official family is born with a blessing, so they should enjoy richness and rule the world. The ability of Wu Haogu is to keep the official family unrestrained in the word "money" and can do whatever they want. Don't doubt this."
"Sir," Cai You frowned, "Then let's just look at Wu Dalang and Gao Qiu proudly?"
"Perfect?" Cai Jing glanced at his son, "The father's opponents are always Er Su and Lu Huiqing. Wu Haogu, so what can Gao Qiu be proud of? He is the third yamen in charge of the army, the military governor, the Grand Marshal, and the Duke of the Kingdom... Even if he becomes the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, he is just a military officer, and it is no big deal."
“What the adults taught me is.”
Cai Jing nodded and said, "After all, this dynasty uses civil servants to control military affairs. They are military men. We are civil servants. Civil servants must learn how to use military men."
“My sir means…”
