Chapter 281: I'm not afraid of you not believing

Since September, not all ships have not entered the port. In fact, Zhao Xing's ship is intensifying training, and his fleet has been continuously transporting the supplies he needs from all over the Southeast Asian region. However, these white people said that none of the ships entered the port meant that they had discovered that all the ships entering the port belonged to Zhao Xing.

Originally, it was not a big deal that there was no ship entering the port in this season, because ships sailing entirely by trade winds are now on the day to sail to the west, so only ships leave the port, and no ships enter the port. What this group of white people wanted to express was that from the beginning of the year, they had completely cut off news about the West, which was not a good thing.

Zhao Xing was thinking about this while walking. It seemed that the situation on the African continent was unimaginable. Zhao Xing could guess the reason for this phenomenon. The Crusaders landed in Palestine, and before that, Pisa and other countries would definitely sweep the Arab navy on the West Bank. In this case, the Arabs came up with a strategy to strengthen the naval power on the East Bank so that even if the enemy got that land, they could not get nutrition from the East-West trade and gain a foothold.

The war between the East and the West was in full swing, and Zhao Xingcai didn't care who won or lost. But if the Arabs adopted this strategy and the ignorant Steele crashed into the Arab net and was wiped out, then he would need to re-operate the African power. This was not something that could be done in a day or two, especially when the war between the East and the West was in full swing.

Zhao Xing had not come up with a countermeasure yet, and the military camp had arrived. Now he was leading the white people to visit the general camp composed of the barbarians and the Fujian camp composed of Fujian sailors. These two groups of soldiers were practicing. They lined up neat teams, wearing breastplate, and under the command of the instructor, holding shields in one hand and waving daggers in the other.

The white people's visiting team did not affect the soldiers' training. They stood by the playground and watched quietly for a while. The white man with a noble temperament in the leader shook his head and gently spit out two words: "Shield!"

The other white men in the team couldn't see it, but they thought that Zhao Xing's two large formations were majestic and beautiful. They praised him and asked Zhao Xing idiotically: "Sir, why are their swords so short? Why don't they practice long spears?"

Zhao Xing replied with a smile: "These people are used for jungle warfare. They also have spear training subjects, but that is not the point. Short swords are the main ones. This thing can be used in the forest."

When Shuai Fan saw Zhao Xing coming in from afar, he jogged over to greet him with his helmet. Zhao Xing first greeted him, then turned to the white nobleman. He smiled and said, "You are French!"

The man nodded and answered two words: "Shield!"

Shuai Fan walked to Zhao Xing and asked in surprise: "What did he say?"

Zhao Xing glanced at the white man and whispered to Shuai Fan: "He is talking about shields, reminding me that the training method is wrong. I told him that this is a soldier used to engage in jungle warfare, which is different from the flat-man warfare he understands."

Shuai Fan frowned and asked, "What does the shield mean?"

Zhao Xing took two steps back. He gave up his current position and let the white people observe him. He whispered to Shuai Fan: "There is a priority for the French training of heavy infantry. When soldiers are usually trained, the shield is carried on their shoulders, and a slightly larger stone should be placed on the shield. The soldiers should hold this shield to prevent the stones on the shield from rolling down while practicing fighting.

It is said that if the soldiers trained in this way, their skills of using shields are considered qualified. Because the stones on the shields will always remind them of the existence of shields, this way. After entering the battlefield, he always pays attention to using shields to cover his whole body. Even during the battle, the shield is very skillful in shielding the whole body..."

Shuai Fan's eyes flashed and replied: "It's very interesting. This is actually a way to train both hands to cooperate. He always pays attention to the use of the shield with his left hand and does not forget to wave the dagger with his right hand. Even when fighting... I'm worried that the soldiers will not be able to cooperate with both hands. This method is good. Since adults know, why don't they say it earlier?"

Zhao Xing shook his head: "What we need is the jungle warrior. The jungle warrior does not require too much fancy, or even a large battle formation. It only requires cooperation between groups - now there is not enough time, we need to attack immediately. How many people are there with you now?"

Shuai Fan frowned in embarrassment and replied: "Sir, I am unwilling to assemble muskets to them. Soldiers could play these swords and swords. If I only use swords and crossbows to fight, my soldier has been trained. But sir, now, the casualties must be very high. The resources of each of our soldiers are very precious, sir..."

Zhao Xing shook his head: "No need to say more, you are ready to set off here. I will start building public opinion now. We will set off within ten days and go to Southeast Asia to take a look."

Zhao Xing paused and looked at Shuai Fan and replied: "You go with me too. I can't ask about the Nanyang area in the future. You need to have an understanding of that area of ​​sea."

According to the prior division of labor, Shuai Fan was in charge of the army and Chen Buqun was in charge of the navy. This time, Zhao Xing brought Shuai Fan with him. Shuai Fan was eager to try, while worried and said, "We are both gone, Wanqi Jishi independently supports the overall situation..."

Zhao Xing cut off his words: "Li Gefei and Li Hanlin are back, let him share some of the burden. Nanyang is a big deal. We must go over and see what the situation is there. Other places are not enough for the time being."

In November, the situation on Guangnan East Road seemed to suddenly become tense.

First, news came out, saying that "a group of vicious pirates attacked Song Shang in the Nanyang area", causing Song Shang to "sink more than a dozen ships". The passing Song Shang discovered this situation and quickly fled the scene. Afterwards, he reported the tragedy to the Nanyang Navy.

It is said that the incident occurred in the waters of Champo - that is, the modern South Vietnam region, which was called Champo in the Song Dynasty. The double-season rice in the Song Dynasty was introduced from Champo.

Originally, the court did not care about such things. The court always thought that going to sea to do business is to be left to fate. The government only cared for tax collection, regardless of the people's regional experiences. Unexpectedly, Zhao Xing, the current Guangnan East Road Transport Author, immediately jumped out to support the maritime businessmen when he learned about this. He sent an envoy to submit a letter to Zhan Po and asked the State of Zhan Po to give an explanation. At the same time, several stamps were reported to the Privy Council a day, requesting that the Privy Council approve him to use small-scale troops for armed escort.

Soon, another news came, "Song Shang was robbed again in the Boni Country waters" - Immediately afterwards, robbers seemed to be everywhere in the South China Sea area, and wars were everywhere...

That month, the most serious thing happened: Zhao Xing took a boat to sea to inspect the Guangnan Coastal Control Department (Guangnan Navy) patrol the anchorage and was "suddenly attacked by pirates". The pirates seemed to mistake Zhao Xing's land ship as a merchant ship, and launched an attack. After a "fight", Zhao Xing repelled the pirates and "watched the pirates into the waters of Chameng". Because he did not get the authorization to send troops, he returned with hatred...

Subsequently, the incident of harassment of coastal pirates seemed to be becoming more and more rampant. In just one month, the tax revenue of Guangzhou Maritime Bureau dropped by 90%. Zhao Xing successively delivered the form and sealed the case. He asked the Privy Council to permit the Guangnan Coastal Control Department to retaliate, but the Privy Council refused because he was "not allowed to open border quarrels privately" - mainly because the court had no money to fight, so he did not want another change in the Southeast financial and taxes.

In December, the late court report finally arrived in Guangnan. At this time, the real face of the Huanqing Road war was shyly revealed. Zhao Xing looked at the battle situation on Huanqing Road and couldn't help laughing: "Zi Lian, guess how Lu Huiqing reported the results of the battle. He said that he built two villages to prevent the invasion of the Xixia people. Therefore, "The enemy arrived, if you want to attack, the city would not be approached; if you want to plunder, the wilderness would have nothing to gain; if you want to fight, the generals would not move; if you want to fight, the generals would not move; if you want to be south, they would be afraid of being attacked by the enemy from both sides, so they would stay for two days and then trap Jin Ming...'

He said that the Xixia people suffered a great loss when they met him, and they could not fight. Because "the generals did not move" and they wanted to loot the people, they could not rob them, because he built two castles to strengthen the walls and clear the fields, so the Xixia people "cannot capture Jinming Village" and then retreated depressedly - omitting the facts is not the fact, he omitted some facts, such as before and after the Xixia people captured Jinming Village, they robbed around Jinming Village. It lasted for thirty days. In the end, they captured 80,000 people and returned with a full load.

Let us add all the default facts: Lu Huiqing said that the Xixia people suffered a loss when they encountered him, because they encountered an enemy invasion. They were best at "stand still, resolutely not counterattack, resolutely not fight, resolutely not fight, resolutely not resisting, so in the face of his "stand still", the Xixia people suffered a great loss - how big is this loss? The Xixia people captured a military fortress with slight battle losses, "helplessly" carrying the large bags and small bags he collected, "disheartened" with 80,000 prisoners, and "depressed" to suffer such a "big loss" and "very frustrated" to go home for the New Year.

He won, and Lu Huiqing actually won the war. Relying on his advanced strategy of "holding troops" he led the people of Huanqing from one victory to another, so that the Xixia people would only gain '80,000 prisoners' every time they failed, and they had to retreat. Because of this great contribution, Lu Huiqing, therefore, "please go to the palace, (Your Majesty) refused. To build Weirong, Weiqiang City (the reason), add Yinqing Guanglu Dafu, be appointed as Baoning, and Wusheng Jiedu."

Shuai Fan was stunned: "Lu Huiqing dares to say this. Isn't this challenging the intellectual level of the court and the intellectual level of the people across the country? I... I know why he only built cities and did not fight with the Xixia people. Because he could get kickbacks for building castles and embezzle project funds. When fighting with the Xixia people, the Xia people would never give him kickbacks, so he only built cities and refused to fight with the Xixia people. The court did not know the Xixia people, didn't he know Lu Huiqing's habits? It's really cold! He, Lu Huiqing, had such a "victory", does my Song Dynasty still exist?"

Zhao Xing laughed, his smile was a little discouraged: "Every time I see the imperial court's newspaper, I always enjoy a superior intelligence - Lu Huiqing succeeded, and the adults in the court believed that he won an anti-aggression war by relying on "stand still, refusing to resist" and published the results in the imperial court to publicize them to the people of the country...

Haha, politics is something that is raised by a bitch. For the purpose of a political party, it can be decorated with a high-sounding excuse for the sake of a party.”

Shuai Fan was almost crying, and the expression on his face was despair: "How can this be done? Two million people in Bianliang City in Tokyo even believed that 'holding troops' could defeat the invasion. How could this be done?"

Zhao Xing's smile became cold, and he said coldly: "You are desperate when you hear this news. If you hear "hide and seek to die" and push-ups make people 'being suicide',... Should you cry to death?

Humph, even if the people in the world don’t believe it, so what? You forgot that Lu Huiqing is a proud disciple of Wang Jinggong, and is best at the "three no fears" strategy: not afraid of the ghosts and gods of heaven and earth, not afraid of the people, not afraid of the ancestors and kings...

Uncle Wen. Don’t worry about him, what should we do next to us?"

Li Gefei sighed and said with a serious face: "Last month, the Guangnan Navy had suffered seven attacks. It seems that it is Guangxi's turn this month... Otherwise, the adult's ship was 'robbed again'?"

Wan Qi Yong shook his head: "This is not good. The great Guangdong Strategic Pacifier is enough to be 'robbed' once a year. How could he be 'robbed' by pirates every month? This..., this is too outrageous?!"

Zhao Xing's serious head: "If I hadn't been 'attacked' frequently, how could it be that the tension in the South China Sea was demonstrated - so I wrote: I was attacked again yesterday, located in the waters of Champo; today when I returned to the voyage, I was attacked by another pirate nearby. Two consecutive attacks made me unbearable and I was about to get angry!"

Li Gefei smiled uncontrollably and picked up his pen. He helped Zhao Xing compile the Guangnan sea merchants, Guangnan navy, and even Zhao Xing himself was robbed by pirates. Li Qingzhao blinked beside him and asked curiously: "Uncle, aren't you lie? The saint said: War is a major event for the country. How can the two countries bleed together and bleed thousands of miles away? "

"Lie?!" Zhao Xing asked happily: "Little Lady, with the IQ of the imperial court that even Lu Huiqing's memorials, would you dare not believe what I made up? If so, then you have to blame your father, and your father's fault is not as good as the 'Fujian son'!"

Li Qingzhao bit his little finger and said, "Uncle Zhao, you are a 'Zhao Tiger'! How many years have you been rampant in Southeast Asia? On that ocean, there is really a man-made man who has far-sighted your ship but still has no escape. You should have been caught in the mine five years ago and digging a hole for you. You can ask around Guangdong. You have made up lies in the past few days. Who believes it? You go to Chameng to inquire. Do they believe it?

Uncle Zhao, do you think the intelligence of the court ministers is not as good as that of those Kunlun slaves? They don’t believe it, can you blame my father?... Well, but in my opinion, uncle should get angry quickly. The legitimate father made up stories for you every day. He can’t think of a new plot anymore, and he is so worried that he can’t eat every day. I know it today. It’s not easy to make up lies."

Zhao Xing clapped his hands and smiled and coaxed the little girl: "Uncle Wen, how did you teach such a smart person? Let me reveal your parenting experience?... Li's little lady, don't worry, the ministers in the court do not believe it, they must believe it even if they reduce their intelligence, because I am not like Lu Huiqing, a "hand-reaching school", I am a "box-carrying school", the box I carry is full of treasures - the court's finances are tense, and I can't see any money in the naked eye. As long as I put the box in front of the ministers, even if they reduce their IQ, they must believe me.

Have you heard that the Nanyang area has been trading with us since the Tang Dynasty. Many antiques from the Tang Dynasty and even the Han Dynasty were lost among the people of Nanyang. I found a Tang Dynasty phoenix-mouth bottle in Mayi and gave it to my teacher Po Gong... Li's little lady, remember, don't tell others when I hear the local affairs today. If I go back to Nanyang, I will also get you a Tang Dynasty phoenix-mouth bottle as a mouth closure fee. How about it?"

Li Qingzhao is not that easy to coax, she curled her lips and replied: "Uncle, don't tease me. Now, you can take out any phoenix-mouthed bottles in the Tang Dynasty when your family wants. I heard that you hid a household porcelain kiln on the island in Hong Kong, which specializes in imitating fake antique porcelain for Cai Jing - I don't want the fake antiques you made in your family, unless..."

Zhao Xing replied casually: "I promise you everything you want."

Li Qingzhao blinked and replied: "Unless Uncle Zhao takes me to Nanyang with me, I will personally watch my uncle take out the treasure from the Zhanpo people, and I believe it is the real thing."

Zhao Xing blinked regretfully and sighed, "It's a pity that my family doesn't have Qilin's son. Brother Li, such a smart girl, don't rush to get engaged. I will live up to this cleverness when I choose him a master of the world."

When a girl from other places talks about marriage, she will be ashamed to avoid it. Even if she pretends to be shy, she will pretend to be like that. Li Qingzhao doesn't hide. She looked at Zhao Xing and blinked her eyes and asked, "Uncle, is this agree?"

No matter how much Li Gefei spoiled her, he could not let her go to the battlefield. He quickly scolded: "Zhaoer, don't mess around, we are talking about serious matters."

Li Qingzhao flattered her mouth: "Mr. Zhao is going to cheat people. When is the legitimate father?...Don't worry, Lord Zhao will rush to the front and fight to the death personally? That's what the young master did. Uncle Zhao is the general and will never rush to the front line. I will follow Lord Zhao and promise not to see an enemy. When the war is over, if I break a piece of oily skin, it is because Uncle Zhao is not capable enough."

Zhao Xing clapped: "Miss, right. I have been planning this matter since last year. I went to sea several times this year and all set up battlefields... This war is not difficult. It is just a group of native people in the South China. Their biggest reliance is the humid and stuffy climate. If the normal situation is normal, hundreds of Muslims can destroy their country by waving torches. I don't believe it. With the remaining power of China's thousand-year-old civilization, those small countries in South China dare not bow down to their surrender.

Don't worry, this war is an armed parade. Our Song Dynasty bullies the natives of South China, and it is not like giants bullying children. It is purely a performance event. The only difference between this performance and the Tianning Festival Imperial Army parade is that it is not me who pays for the parade. It is very likely that the people who pay for the small kings of various countries in Southeast Asia.

The countries of Nanyang are rich - Champo was established in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. Since the local Champo people killed our Han Dynasty, the magistrate of Xianglin County, and has been independent. The Champo royal family has accumulated over a thousand years. The treasures are countless. I heard that their kings even had pure gold urinals, covered with gems, and each of them is of extraordinary value. I was planning to enjoy their urinals in the palace.

The Li family’s little lady is going, no problem, let’s go together. The urinals of his house belong to you. This is a thousand-year-old antique, well, I remember that it was called ‘Huzi’ at that time. Later, he avoided the Tang Emperor Li Shimin and Li Yuan’s taboo. I heard that the guy’s nickname was ‘Huzi’, which means ‘Bedwetting Little Brat’. Later, he became the emperor, and the people used the ‘Huzi’ had to be called ‘Uzuka’. Little Girl Little Girl, you love the archaeology of gold and stone, are you right?”

Li Qingzhao curled her lips: "Uncle Zhao is really an idle person. Apart from you, who has the time to study the ancient and modern titles of the 'urinal'?"

"Wrong. From now on, it will be 'Li Family Huzi'." Zhao Xing continued to laugh.

At this time, Shuai Fan had already looked at Lu Huiqing's report with an incredible look. He could not help but throw the report aside and asked lazily: "Have you confirmed your first goal? Then what are we waiting for?"

Zhao Xing replied leisurely: "If you are ready, then let the soldiers board the ship and we will set out tomorrow."

Shuai Fan shook her body and confirmed, "Sir, have you decided? Don't carry a musket? Can you deal with Nanyang with just a grenade?"

Zhao Xing's expression remained unchanged and said lightly: "The situation in Nanyang is complicated. We have firearms, so don't show it first. The climate there is humid and the firearms are not perfect, so it's better not to use it if you don't have it. Grenades are enough. In order for the return of 'Li Family Huzi' as soon as possible, start your move!"

"The Urinal War, this name is so bad," Shuai Fan muttered and stood up, adding: "Well, let the idiots in the court know what the real battle to destroy the country is, without rebates - it's worth a urinary!"

"Antique Urinal", Zhao Xing specifically emphasized: "The Tang Dynasty! Inlaid gemstones!"

But obviously, Shuai Fan Wuxin listened to his explanation...

On the second day, the Guangnan Navy fleet emerged in an empty group.

The first one to leave the port was the fleet led by Chen Buqun, followed by Zhao Xing and Shuai Fan. After that, the Guangnan Navy successively sailed out many supply ships. When Zhao Xing drove all the ships to the sea, it happened to be the Spring Festival. Most officials had already had a holiday and their official duties stopped.

The large ship rectified its queues on the Jiaozhi sea surface, and several foreigners drove ships joined the fleet. The fleet walked out of the Zizhi route on the sea surface in the wind, and soon sailed into the southernmost end of the Champo Kingdom, which is the entrance to the Mekong River in southern modern Vietnam.

Zhao Xing's fleet had twenty giant boats and fourteen small supply ships. When the large boat entered the mouth of the Mekong River, a small stone fort at the mouth of the river was in a panic. After a while, several whirlwind cannons appeared on the city wall. The city behind the city wall was in chaos. Everyone was dragging their families to hide in the forest in the distance. Zhao Xing and Shuai Fan saw this scene on the boat building. Zhao Xing ordered: "Rise the flag."
Chapter completed!
