Since destroying Jiaozhi Kingdom, Li Bao was recommended by Yue Fei to be the first naval commander of the Song Dynasty. He has always been in charge of his duties and worked diligently in Hangzhou Bay to train the Song Dynasty Navy.

Today, the Song Dynasty navy has become a large scale, with 30,000 Song Dynasty navy stationed in Hangzhou Bay.

There are a total of ten warships.

The shipbuilding of the Song Dynasty is the most advanced and technical on this planet, and there is no need for time travelers like Zhao Huan to make improvements.

The Maritime Bureau was elevated to the national strategic level during the Zhao Kuangyin era, and the shipbuilding families were passed down from generation to generation.

A month ago, Shen Lang arrived in Hangzhou.

Zhao Gou was ordered to allocate three warships, a total of 10,000 navy, each warship was equipped with ten artillery pieces. Li Bao personally led by Shen Lang to the port in Japan.

The nearby pirates heard that Li Bao had taken three warships to Japan, and were so happy that they ran to Hangzhou Bay to show off the next day. They were besieged by seven Great Song warships, and they were beaten so hard that they didn't even recognize their own mother.

Only 700 pirates brought back were returned.

From then on, the pirates in the East China Sea became much more low-key.

After Shen Lang landed in Japan's port, he was grandly received. On behalf of His Majesty the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, he conveyed His Majesty the Emperor's grace to Japan.

The rampant pirates seriously affected the trade between the Song Dynasty and Japan. In order to protect the coastal order of Japan, the Song Dynasty planned to dispatch a navy to the Osaka Bay in Japan.

As soon as this proposal was put forward, it immediately aroused strong opposition from Japan.

Especially the old nobles and the Emperor faction, they firmly opposed the Great Song Navy stationed in Osaka Bay.

An old nobleman said bluntly: "This is the heart of Emperor Sima Zhao of Song State!"

Two days later, Shen Lang met with Hiratatsumori, the leader of the Japanese Samurai Group, and asked Hiratatsumori: Osaka Bay must be protected by the Song Dynasty Navy.

As a pro-Song faction, Ping Zhongsheng's first proposal by the villain Da Song, he had a very firm attitude towards the meeting.

What is rare is that the Samurai Group and the Japanese Old Talents stood on the same front and refused to control the Song Dynasty in Osaka Bay.

The envoy of the Song Dynasty, Shen Lang, rebuked the ungrateful behavior of Japan and condemned the Japanese emperor for taking the maritime trade between the two countries into dangerous situations and putting the people in trouble.

Afterwards, Shen Lang returned to the Great Song Dynasty warship.

However, the three Song Dynasty warships did not leave, but continued to dock in Osaka Bay.

The conflict between the two sides was suddenly intensified.

A few days later, all the trade in Osaka Bay suddenly stopped.

All Dasong merchant ships who came to the Osaka Bay Port in Japan to check in for fabrics were returned.

All Japanese merchant ships who went to Hangzhou Bay to consign food were detained for collusion with pirates.

Afterwards, the Hangzhou Maritime Bureau issued a warning to Japan that Japanese merchants colluded with pirates and looted merchant ships in Song Dynasty, and their crimes were unforgivable.

After the first sin was sent to Japan, the Japanese Aoqi and the Samurai Group were both angry.

Immediately afterwards, the Song Dynasty announced the second crime to Japan: the Japanese royal family hid Shen Tuxin, a traitor from the Song Dynasty, attempted to fight against the emperor and was sentenced to death!

Normally, the emperor will not convict the kings of the surrounding kingdoms.

This is the first time this happens.

This means that the two countries have entered a state of war.

Three days later, the Hangzhou Maritime Bureau filed a request to the Emperor of the Song Dynasty to attack Japan for the crimes of Japan. Tokyo City immediately issued a charge of Japan for all the wildernesses and issued a manifesto to combat Japan.

At the same time, the Goryeo Kingdom was asked to send 30,000 troops to assist the Song Dynasty in the attack on Japan.

This anti-Japanese manifesto has not yet been spread to Hangzhou. The three warships of the Song Dynasty, Cang Wolf, White Tiger and Xuanwu, fired fire at Osaka Bay respectively.

The artillery shattered Osaka Bay and shocked everyone's hearts.

Within a few days, the Japanese country dispatched 30,000 troops in Osaka Bay, intending to start a war with the Song Dynasty.

At the same time, the Emperor wrote a letter to King Goryeo, hoping to fight against the Song Dynasty with King Goryeo.

King Goryeo was unwilling to send troops 30,000 to attack Japan. He believed that the decree of His Majesty the Emperor of the Song Dynasty was unreasonable, and Goryeo was not able to send troops 30,000, so he adopted a delaying plan.

But five days later, Da Song, who had no response, immediately cut off all the fabrics in Goryeo and cut off all the food supply in Goryeo.

In a short period of time, the top leaders of the two countries were not aware of the situation and were unaware of it.

When the Japanese saw that the Song Dynasty warship was docked in Osaka Bay and did not dare to go ashore, they mocked the Song people for their cowards.

Zhao Huan had just received a war report from the front line, and some people could no longer help but use force against Japan.

The emperor personally ordered the troops to remain motionless, so the three warships stopped at the Osaka port.

When the Goryeo Kingdom saw that the Song Dynasty did not take any measures, someone privately said contemptuously: The Song Dynasty is just like this.

Although the East China Sea battle was full of clouds, Zhao Huan did not pay much attention to it during this period because the battle situation had already been decided.

Soon, there will be a shortage of food in Japan. The consequences of this shortage are the collapse of people's livelihood, domestic riots, starvation to death, and plagues rampant.

Zhao Huan just waited for Japan to kneel in front of him and begged him to give him food.

The same is true in Goryeo. In the past two years, in order to make money, folk merchants have long turned to producing fabrics and selling them to the Song Dynasty.

That kind of high-profit trade, like drugs, is addictive.

Now Zhao Huan is equivalent to cutting off the supply of drugs for the addict.

After turning to Japan and Goryeo, Zhao Huan has been concerned about the grain output of the Song Dynasty recently.

March has entered, and the season of peach blossoms is also the season of busy farming.

The spring rain in the south moistens the fertile land, and this year is a season of harvest.

Some farmers' sweet potatoes are already ripe and are being carried on a shoulder pole to the market for sale.

The third batch of grain transported from Chameng has also arrived at Hangzhou Port and entered Jiangling Prefecture and Central Plains.

Judging from statistics from multiple parties, this year, not only will there be no food shortage, but there will also be grain surpluses.

Zhao Huan thought to himself that after waiting for another year, after the road branches of Hebei Road and Hedong Road were built, there would be enough food and he could attack the Jin Kingdom.

Once the road system is built, the food and grass supply during wartime will be very fast and the army will be mobilized very quickly.

As long as the resources are provided quickly, the Song Dynasty can take turns to fight against the Jin Kingdom.

The Song army had no worries about military rations and military replenishment.

At the beginning of this year, the emperor also assigned a task to the military weapon supervisor, and at the end of the year, he had to create 20,000 muskets and 500 cannons.

This is a hard task. If you don’t complete it, you can go to Qiongzhou to teach.

During this period, the emperor's political affairs were concentrated on agriculture. This season, officials across the country were also focusing on agricultural production.

However, half a month later, a piece of news attracted the attention of the Song Dynasty court.

The Jin Kingdom sent an envoy, and the Jin Emperor condemned the matter of the Song Dynasty's bid for Japan.

This is contrary to the holy way. As a country of etiquette, the Song Dynasty should conquer the world with virtue.
