Li Sihai stretched and said, "When the warship is built, our fourth battalion should be expanded into an army. Let you all take a boat." He paused and cursed with a smile, "Forget it if you have a stinky mouth." He floated on the sea all year round, and everyone was full of hob meat. Lu Qingzhi was not worried if he was scolded.

All the officers were all energetic when they heard this. Because Xia Kingdom is located in the inland, the Fourth Battalion of Chengying is the one who patrolls the sea for many years. If they want to build warships to expand the naval division in the future, the people of the Fourth Battalion will definitely have a future. Li Sihai is a lieutenant and has much more news than ordinary officers. When he is sailing normally, he does not look like a smile, and it is impossible to reveal any news. Only when everyone is in a happy mood when they are in a break from anchoring to land, is it an opportunity to find out.

Wu Mai asked, "What did Captain Li hear about the wind?" The officers and soldiers around him looked at Li Sihai with hope. Li Sihai smiled slightly and whispered: "Where is the wind? We just took over this ship and haven't practiced much yet, the marching department has been busy sending out to patrol the sea, just to use the results of the war to convince the Guguo Mansion to allocate money to build ships. The war in Liaodong is not a trivial matter. Everyone should be energetic and let the Guguo Mansion know that the navy is of great use in addition to protecting merchants."

Lu Qingzhi smiled and said, "Captain, do you have any inside information about the five palaces?" Li Sihai rolled his eyes and said, "This is my general's clever plan, is it okay?" The officers said no, but he kept it a secret, smiled and said without saying a word. Looking at the warship anchored in Taiping Bay, he said, "It's a pity that even if the Guardian Government agrees, starting from selecting materials and releasing materials, it will probably take more than ten years to become a navy. This decision to build a ship must not be dragged down, otherwise, my generation

I can't see the new ship launching. But the morale is strong, so I don't need to explain it clearly to you guys." He shook his head and thought, "I didn't know that the Eighth Battalion had such a big scene in Liaodong and hung the port on Yueyang Island, but it was a little far from the land of Liaodong. In the future, the war will be difficult for our warships to quickly rush to support. It seems that in addition to the Yueyang Island port as the main base, we have to approach the mainland and choose multiple ports for wartime mooring to facilitate the establishment of military merits."

Seeing this, everyone could not ask. Everyone knew it. Anyway, there was hope, and they began to discuss the military affairs of supporting the Han people in Liaodong. Wang Geng sighed: "I heard that the Eighth Battalion has recruited more than 30,000 generals and thousands of strong men. This Zhao Wei is really not a simple person. No wonder he was only thirty years old and could enter the National Guardian Mansion. If this big stall is consolidated, it would be no problem to be promoted to a general."

Obviously, he was seeking wealth and danger, but the soldiers still expressed envy of the great military achievements that the Eighth Battalion could have achieved. He left his hometown and was looking for a title of marquis three thousand miles away. He just mocked the Fourth Battalion for being miserable in Liaodong, and was also mixed with a little jealousy.

Lu Qingzhi nodded and smiled, "I'm afraid that by then, the military government will beg him to accept the general. The mountain is high and the emperor is far away." Since the founding of the country, there have been several founding Dukes for military merits, and there have not been one who have been appointed as kings. In order to win the important land of Liaodong and tens of thousands of military and civilians, the five governments will probably be rewarded with the title of king. He shook his head and muttered, "I'm so nervous."

Wu Mai pondered: "Person Zhao is probably not easy to talk to. I heard from those gunmen that this Person Zhao is a naive person, but he is good at artillery skills and is good at setting rules. If it violates military discipline, it will never be merciless when it falls into his hands. He will write the basic scriptures of their artillery teams by himself. I think we must practice according to the good life, so as not to fall into his hands in the future and have a bad face." Now the sergeants of the Fourth Battalion are just sailors, and according to the planning of the marching department, it is best that sailors and gunners can master each other's simple skills, so as not to be able to switch hands on the ship.

The officers were talking, but Li Sihai only lowered his head and pondered. His face changed several times. After a while, he finally made up his mind and pondered: "The Eighth Battalion is fighting lively, and we can't watch it. We have to make some military achievements. Tell me, where is the right place to fight against the Liao Kingdom?"

Although Li Sihai had no airs, his prestige in the camp was extremely high. He didn't say anything. As soon as he opened his mouth, the officers who had just spoken in a mess stopped and looked down and thoughtful. They could really be called moving like a rabbit and a quiet virgin. The atmosphere changed from a sea to a serious military discussion, but in just a short moment.

"Sir, what if you want to capture Zhenhai Mansion? It is said that most of the ships of the Liao Kingdom entered the port there. If they were taken down, they would definitely be a big victory." Lu Qingzhi suggested.

Li Sihai glanced at him and said, "Zhenhai Prefecture is an important city for the coastal defense of the Liao Kingdom. The city wall facing the seaside is more than 100 miles away. It is backed by the heart of the Liao Kingdom. There are endless reinforcements. We five ships to attack, which is probably similar to tickling it. Even if we take it by chance and lose it immediately, it doesn't make any sense."

Wu Mai said in a deep voice: "How about fighting Fuzhou? The news from the Military Information Department said that there are thousands of mature Jurchens in Fuzhou. Now that the Jin Dynasty is in full swing, these Jurchens have long been restless. Let's add more fire to him."

Li Sihai shook his head and sighed: "The Jurchens must be more careful, don't work hard and marry someone."

"Then..." Wu Mai pondered for a moment and said, "Then let's fight Suzhou Pass. Suzhou is facing the sea. It is easy to moor boats to go out to sea in the south. The Liao people are forbidden from the sea and are not allowed to live in the south of the Guannan. Therefore, there are no one-man lands there. There are probably tens of thousands of acres of wasteland that can be reclaimed. At that time, let the people from the Eighth Battalion take the people to farm. The Liao people's naval army is weak and it is impossible to attack from the sea. The Eighth Battalion takes the men to guard the wall and we fire artillery at the sea to help the Jurchens. Then thousands of troops came, and it is difficult to break. At that time, our military achievements will definitely be indispensable."

As the Sima of the marching, Wu Mai was naturally well aware of the terrain of the battlefield. After hearing his introduction, Li Sihai's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he said in a deep voice: "Take the map and take a look." Wu Mai hurriedly took out the maps that were always kept around him. The officers put their heads together. After carefully looking at them, they were amazed at the terrain of the peninsula that was almost broken from the land in the south of Suzhou Pass. Wu Mai pointed out the location of an excellent port. Li Sihai nodded and said in a deep voice: "We can't do it alone. Wu Mai followed me to go ashore and planned to do something big in Liaodong with the Eighth Battalion."

After killing the dark horse and forming a bloody alliance, Han Ningshuang returned to Kaizhou with his accompanying guards. Zhao Xingde was on the same journey with them, and he discussed martial arts with the Han army generals along the way, but he didn't feel tired.

On this day, a team of Jin soldiers escorted the slaves who were recovered. The sun shone in the sky, and these ragged people seemed to be ghosts in the dark night, and like walking corpses who had lost their souls. If the tribes fought, the defeated side would naturally be denied slaves. If they were unwilling to surrender, they would have to fight to the death. Most of the Han people under the households of the prefectures and counties of Liao Kingdom had no tribes, and there were not many powerful people who could resist the Jin soldiers. As a result, the Liao people were defeated and left.

Later, the Jurchen Jin Kingdom followed the rules of tribal struggle and randomly occupied the people of the occupied prefectures and counties as slaves. They also continued to forcibly incorporate the exiled people into Meng'an Mouke, either as a people or as a slave. Many people were unwilling to be cows and horses for people. Those who were brave would wait for an opportunity to escape, but once they were caught, they would not only suffer a lot of torture, but also the word "slave" was stabbed on the face and forehead of the man, and the word "maid" was stabbed next to it with the owner's mark.

At this time, the Xia State had completely abolished the slave system, and even the palace servants used by the Damen were hired by the internal officials, which was essentially the same as those employed by ordinary wealthy families. Although the Song State had slaves, under the protection of the court's laws, the situation of slaves was much better than that of the Liao and Jin states, and it was even more unheard of those who had big words on their faces.

Most of the Han generals on Han Ningshuang's side had just returned from Xia Kingdom. When they witnessed this scene, their faces were also very gloomy. Whenever they saw the words "slave" and "maid" as big as the child's palm, many people felt as heavy as a huge rock in their hearts.

Wang Xuansu sighed: "There are all ethnic groups in Liaodong, and even fewer people can read. Many people only recognize the word "slave" and "maid" in their lives. Many brothers in the villages are from escaped slaves, so the eldest lady would rather offend the Jurchens than promise them to return the escaped slaves."

Zhao Xingde looked forward, and Han Ningshuang rode his horse slowly in front of him. The black hood covered her appearance and couldn't see her expression clearly.

Note: Suzhou Pass during the Liao Dynasty, now Dalian, the wall of the pass was about 6 kilometers long. Both sides face the Yellow Sea, Bohai Sea, and the south of the pass is Lushun District.
