choke element

Jia Sidao's eyes widened, he looked at Xuan Zeng for a long time, and then took a deep breath.

Xuan Zong asked: "Why, isn't my nephew willing to take a trip to the north with me? Cough cough, there is no business to do this trip, maybe if my nephew pays for it, I"

Jia Sidao laughed dryly: "My uncle has his own ideas about diplomatic maneuvers. When Jia... my father discussed cooperation with Ding Haijun, there was indeed such a clause. However, I originally thought it was a precautionary clause. I thought Da Song wouldn't be able to..."

Jia Sidao smacked his lips, not knowing how to express it.

In fact, he is not from the Song Dynasty. When he was in the north, he was used to drawing a knife to determine the outcome. Now he found that when officials in the Southern Dynasty considered the safety of the border, they would actually place their hopes on the military support of the enemy country. To be honest, he felt a little admiration in his heart.

Xuan Zeng thought that he was dissatisfied because the dignified court wanted to humiliate the northerners, and felt that the young man's arrogance was still there, so he was a little relieved.Now he said in a deep voice: "Nephew, Shi Xiang's thoughts are originally like this, and there is nothing worthy of doubt. Otherwise, you would not need to rush back and forth. When the Jin Kingdom is all in the north and is my enemy, we can only strictly enforce it." There is no time for defense and long-distance strategy. It was not until the Kingdom of Jin was divided that there was room for us to maneuver."

Jia Sidao nodded.

Xuan Zong said again: "Zhongdu was attacked by Mongols, and the territory is poor, so they are eager to reach a commercial cooperation with us to make up for the consumption of those rough warriors, so they have to be ordered by me to defend me; A Nanjing Road supports the deserted half of the wall, and it is even more public and private. Without the support of the Song Dynasty, it will become a bandit sooner or later. Both of them intend to use force to obtain benefits. We use profit to drive force and use it for dual purposes. To control it... this is a matter of course!"

Facing two thugs who are armed to the teeth, they are complacent because the thugs have no money in their pockets and can’t eat enough for lunch, thinking that they can always use a few pastries in their purses as bait... This is to treat the two gold as a bait. Do you train a dog?
Is this considered far-fetched?

Jia Sidao has been hanging out in the Southern Dynasty for a while, and has met many scholars of the Southern Dynasty, among whom Xuan Zeng is considered to be extremely talented.But even he... no, Jia Sidao's cheap father, Jia She, is also like this. Whenever something happens, he only thinks about talking with money, and concentrates on buying or bribing.

These two people can be regarded as taking a prudent approach, and those people with radical political views actually have the same routine.For example, Ying Chunzhi and Li Jue were the main fighters in the court. After being transferred to Huainan, they naturally wanted to make meritorious service abroad.As a result, they were not too busy training soldiers and getting together. First, through Jia She's relationship, they found a few leaders and went to Zhongdu to assassinate them.

If they succeed, can they send troops to the north and engage in military adventures?
How weak it is to be weak, and how frivolous it is to be frivolous.

Perhaps the people of the Southern Dynasties have indulged in the breeze and drizzle for too long, and they have too much confidence in their prosperity.Or is it that they themselves have no confidence in the improvement of their own government and military affairs, knowing that the Song Dynasty is already rotten?

It has to be said that if things develop as expected, Da Song will simply win.But Jia Sidao reckoned that Zhou Guogong's thoughts would definitely not be as Song people expected.

He has followed Guo Ning for a long time and knows that Guo Ning has never taken an ordinary path.

After the navy was established to take control of the central capital, this freshly baked Zhou Guogong has been patiently governing the state affairs for half a year, while accompanying his wife and children by the way.Now that the government affairs in the central capital are generally straightened out, and the things that should be started in the local area are being rolled out one after another, it should be said that he should be free for a while, and he is still thinking about moving.

Then, he will agree to send troops to contain Kaifeng for Song?
With his ferocious temperament like an old man, the enemy has no openings and he will punch a steel bone to see the result.Now that these two families are fighting in Huainan, Ding Haijun will really make a move.But what kind of action that would be, Jia Sidao really couldn't guess.

Thinking of this, Jia Sidao nodded slightly, lest Xuan Zeng notice that he was smiling.

At this moment when the ship was out of the river mouth, the sea wind was suddenly violent, and the sail mats were blown up, the Dingfeng flag fluttered, and the bamboo bundled horizontally between the sail curtains also collided with the mast from time to time, making crackling noises.Because the ship was lightly loaded and did not carry much cargo, the hull was heaved by the waves.

The two hurriedly held on to the railing of the ship.As soon as he stood still, he heard the order from Houtou Gang, asking the sailors to line up in two teams to pull the rope, and put down the water draping board on the leeward side of the hull to increase the water resistance.

There were too many idlers on the deck, so Xuan Zen stopped talking, but Jia Sidao suddenly stretched out his hand to signal, summoned a sailor, and gave some instructions.

The risk of sailing at sea is not low.Those who do this business must either work for a few years and then go home to retire, otherwise they are likely to die at sea.There are many storms at sea, diseases, hunger and thirst, and pirate attacks, etc., there are dangers everywhere, and death is inevitable, so most of the sailors have their heads tied to their waistbands, and their tempers are a bit fierce.

The sailor squinted at Jia Sidao, at first he didn't care about it, but suddenly he cheered up, cupped his hands again and again, and ran to talk to Gangshou.

The ship was nominally owned by Xuan Zang, and Xuan Zang didn't even shout at the sailors easily, but Jia Sidao could convince them?What is the untold secret in this?
Xuan Zeng couldn't help asking questions, but Jia Sidao smiled and didn't answer, as if he really had a unique secret.

He only said that since there is an urgent matter, the voyage of the ship needs to be fine-tuned, so he specially supervised the sailing of the ship, and told the sailors to replenish fresh water in Haizhou after crossing the Huanghuai estuary, and then arrived in Dengzhou in one go.

The reason for calling at Haizhou is naturally because the postal route from Shandong to Zhongdu has been restored. Haizhou is the southernmost point of the Ding Navy's control area, and the equipment for express delivery is particularly intensive.For example, people with special status, such as Zhongdu Zuosi Langzhong, can initiate an express delivery of [-] miles a day and night as long as they have a gold medal with them.This speed is faster than a sailing ship with a smooth wind, and it is enough to spread the news of the Huainan War and the Southern Dynasty's intention to use troops to rescue the situation to the Central Capital.

Just as Xuan Zang and Jia Sidao were sailing northward, the battle between the Song State and the Kaifeng Jin Army was still going on.

In Huainan, the Song army only relied on the strength of the loyal army to fight against the Jin people. In Chenzhou, Suizhou, Junzhou and other places, there were Jinghu defenses that had been in operation for many years, which caused the Jin army to suffer successive setbacks.

Wugu, the commander of the Jin army along the way, reported to the Kaifeng court with great fanfare on celebrating his birthday, saying that he had beheaded [-] people in World War I, obtained [-] horses, [-] cattle, and defeated [-] soldiers from the Song Dynasty. Zhi, Tian Zhuo and the others had no eyes for anything, and immediately discovered that Wu Gu had lied about his military achievements and concealed casualties when celebrating his birthday.

Wugu Lunqingshou was immediately dismissed and sent to prison, and Kaifeng immediately sent more elite soldiers to continue southward.

Compared with the turmoil in these places, the territory controlled by the Ding Navy these days is as peaceful as an idyllic.

Just under a rock wall in Qushan, Haizhou, Xu Zhuer, who is a little taller and no longer thin, took a chisel and scraped hard on the rock wall, hitting it with a hammer from time to time to deepen the deep marks.His wrist strength was not bad, the stone powder fell under the chisel, and soon he drew a huge sea ship.

Xu Zhu'er took a few steps back, thought for a while, and then continued to tap and scratch.

The traces that appeared this time were small and complicated, and it was only after careful identification that it was the crooked three characters of "Ding Haijun".

Xu Zhu'er wiped the sweat off his brow with satisfaction, and looked back at his companions, suddenly startled.

No wonder the teenagers who climbed the mountain with him were silent just now, they all looked in awe at a tall young man in a gray military robe.

And the tall young man applauded again and again, and said seriously: "Not bad, not bad, pig, your carving is good, and the handwriting is also good, better than mine!"

Lianyungang's Liu Zhizhou Mountain really has boat-shaped petroglyphs...
