Chapter 296 Iron Hook

Yila Chucai continued to communicate with maritime merchants.

On the third day, Qingqi came rushing from the direction of Yexian County, saying that the Mongolian army sent envoys to Zhongdu, threatening the court to reward the troops in order to appease the generals' anger.

The sudden rise of the Mongols was powerful in terms of force, but they were actually quite careless in terms of diplomatic means.Previously, the two families had come and gone to fight each other, but when the envoy came, everyone in the court of Zhongdu knew that the Mongolian army was about to retreat, and the city was filled with civil and military ecstasy.

The follow-up trend of this matter will naturally gradually affect all places.Since Guo Ning received the news on this day, he sent his congregation to Sanshan Port to hear Chucai's thoughts.

Yicha Chucai had a draft on this for a long time, so he asked his congregation to wait a moment, and wrote a statement with his own pen like flying, and analyzed the situation in detail.He said in the statement that once the Mongolian army retreats, the conflict between Zhongdu and Nanjing will inevitably be fierce, and Yang An'er's troops will try to reach out to the outside world without the threat of the Mongols.

Among these three parties, the Zhongdu imperial court is naturally the loudest and most powerful, but they have no soldiers, but they are surrounded by dilapidated land, food is in short supply, and the situation is the most difficult.So after roaring a few times, it will stop sooner or later.

The Shandong sea route controlled by the Ding Navy is the only stable material in Zhongdu.At that time, it might be possible to join hands with the big shots in the capital to dig out the corners of the imperial court and get some extra benefits.

Yang An'er's department has been repaired all winter, but still has not shown any effective means of governing the local area.On the contrary, the scale of the tribe is getting bigger and bigger, and dragons and snakes are mixed.

What your side should pay attention to is that it is inevitable that there will be fools who are instigated by others to initiate provocations.If someone really provokes them, they must be severely attacked to cut off their fluke thoughts.The harder the beating, the more sober Yang An'er and other leaders will be, and the stability of Denglai Three States will be ensured.

As for King Sui, don't worry about it now.As a son, he is most worried about his father now.Just like what father hates most is his son.In the future, the role of the father and son will be the big one. Maybe both Yang An'er's subordinate and Ding Haijun will only watch the show, that's unknown.

So generally speaking, it's enough for one's own side to follow the steps. You only need to be careful that Yang An'er's shield will get stuck, and you have to be ready to repair the burrs for him.

At the end of the document, Chu Cai also mentioned by the way that maritime merchants acted recklessly, and there was a slight change in the matter of finding a partner among maritime merchants, so we have to wait a little longer.

Guo Ning received the report and read it, and ordered Han Xuan and Qiu Huiluo to increase the level of preparations, and the rest of the places were as usual.As for the maritime business, this was hardly a setback.Zhao Bin and Zhou Keshan followed their own pace and got ready.

In the past few days, Zhao Bin has contacted a lot of old robes in Ye County.

In troubled times, ordinary soldiers are almost one-time consumables. Even experienced veterans rarely survive the battle and remain intact.When Guo Ning eliminated the old and the weak before, he placed most of them in the local area as magistrates in charge of public security, and some of them became the force directly under the Department of Records.

Among them, many people are as unwilling as Zhao Bin; there are still some people who have settled down for a while, and when they feel comfortable, they feel itchy all over their bodies and want to fight.The physical condition and age of these old soldiers are no longer suitable for life in the army. Guo Ning's main force needs to march long distances and fight continuously. The cruelty of money...

This can be done!

How fresh and interesting is this?maritime!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 learn it, mother, I'm floating on the water with a wooden plank in my left hand, and I can draw a bow and set an arrow to kill people with my right hand!Believe it or not!

Okay, okay, I know you can't shoot a bow and arrow with one hand.What I mean is, if Lao Tzu did it, you should tell Xu Xuan to let him go.Under his hands, Haoba in the several places he stared at is as honest as a rabbit, and has nothing to do all day long... The big knife in my hand is already hungry and thirsty, and I have long wanted to move places!
However, within three to five days, Xu Yu's recording department and Yichai Chucai's government affairs department were poached at the same time.Fortunately, not many people were poached, and the total was over a hundred.

The old soldier in his early [-]s quickly packed his bags and followed Zhao Bin to prepare to set off.

Zhao Bin turned back to Jieshuai's mansion, and discussed with Zhou Keshan his next step.

Zhou Keshan made a suggestion, but Zhao Bin was dumbfounded.

"What? Shifting Wind Town?"

After Zhao Bin agreed to Guo Ning, he made preparations and rushed to a new foothold.Now it turns out that this group of people who are full of pride and are about to go to the sea is based in the interior?Or is it the Tunbao of Yifeng Town that Zhao Bin took pains to build?
What's the point?Is it really that clever?

Zhao Binhu questioned: "Old Zhou, are you kidding me?"

Fortunately, Zhou Keshan is indeed a great expert in this field. He laughed and took the map to explain to Zhao Bin on the spot.

The maritime trade between Song and Jin naturally centered on the Jiaoxi market officially recognized by the two countries.The so-called Jiaoxi Quechang is located in Banqiao Town, Mizhou.

After Taihe defeated the Song Dynasty, the Kingdom of Jin closed the Jiaoxi market in a fit of rage, and the entire Banqiao town also declined rapidly.But in the past few decades, there are still many smuggling merchants operating there. Even if Dinghailing invites merchants in Sanshan Port, many people still gather in Banqiao Town, intending to do some business with Yang Aner's subordinates.

This Banqiao town is indeed a treasure.The sea outside the town is not directly a deep sea, but a huge bay first.This bay has a radius of a hundred li, and the opening is narrow, even though the outside world is stormy like mountains, the inside of the bay is still calm.

And looking inland where the town is located, there is a river with abundant water, called Zhanshui, just beside the town.On both sides of the water, there used to be many docks that could repair sea-going ships like Tongzhou and lucky boats of the Song Dynasty.

Zhanshui is a river that flows from north to south. The river course is very wide, and sea ships can sail directly into it, even going tens of miles along the Hebei without any problem.

Sometimes when the wind direction at sea is not right, some sea merchants will go directly north by dipping in the water, and then transfer the materials by land to the port on the Bohai Sea side of Laizhou.

This operation has been going on for a long time, and 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 mentioned?"

"It's Yifeng Town."

Zhou Keshan clicked on the map and said with a smile: Let's settle down in the jurisdiction of Ding Haijun, go down the river, and go to Yang An'er's land to go to sea.It's good to go in and out, right?After you arrive in Yifeng Town, I will go to Fushan Island again, recruit some sailors, and try to find a way to bring another boat... Don't worry, there will be one sooner or later! "

Zhao Bin let out a hey.

He was mainly in charge of fighting, since Zhou Keshan had already made arrangements, what else could be said?At that moment, a group of people set off to return to Yifeng Town.

Most of the people in the group were old soldiers with great military achievements, and the military government respected them very much, so they specially dispatched a team of carts to travel.Because the matter of the caravan was still confidential, Guo Ning did not send off with great fanfare, but only sent someone to drive an extra cart to join the team.The passengers in the cart were not human beings, but eight strong, bleating sheep.

Wang Erbai laughed out loud, saying that Guo Jiedu is really a good person.

He sat in that cart the whole way back, stroking the sheep and giving each one a name.

But when they arrived at Tunpu in Yifeng Town, they found that the Tunpu was a bit chaotic.Many villagers shouted and drank on the outer wall, and some ran out with knives and guns, without even forming a formation.

The old soldiers who accompanied him immediately laughed and laughed at Zhao Bin's team for failing to manage Tunbao well.

Zhao Bin frowned, and immediately asked someone to question him.

After asking a few words, he returned 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 feel that I, Mr. Zhao, is going to stand up! Our luck has come!"

"luck?"

"Well, don't believe me when I tell you, we already have a boat."

　In Yifeng Town, sea boats can really go there.I remember that at that time, a merchant ship from Goryeo was hit by a sea breeze, and it ran all the way to Yifeng Town, and was arrested by the villagers... It was written in the book, I can't remember it, but it happened.
