Chapter 60
Zhao Xingde was stunned and said in a daze: "What happened?"
"That's right," Li Sihai said slowly, "The Henghai Camp Army of the State of Song was very powerful. In just one month, dozens of Han villages in the South China Sea respected the Song Dynasty as the main story. Although they were all foreign vassals who paid tribute to a penny every year, abandoning Xia and joining Song would greatly damage the reputation of our dynasty." He sighed and said with regret, "If the war in Liaodong was not too tight, my gunships would have to be transferred south, hum. I heard that Yue Fei, the commander of the Henghai Camp Army, was a general. If there was a chance in the future, he would meet." He paused and smiled, "However, I have found out clearly that the famous Zhao Yuanzhi of the Southern Dynasty was Zhao Yuanzhi, who was the name of the man who was the one who gave Chen Dong the training of the new army. This bad debt was no longer the same as Brother Zhao."
Zhao Xingde frowned tightly and did not answer. He did not expect that the Song State had just trained a new army of muskets. Before he could recover Yanyun and consolidate the north, he launched a border provocation and became a feud with Xia State. Now that the Jin army is defeated, the Liao State has no worries in the back and the army is strong. However, Song and Xia in the south have their own hidden worries. Will the two countries have military exchanges give Liao State an opportunity to take advantage of.
Seeing him bowing his head and silent, Li Sihai sighed in his heart that although this man was talented, he was born in Guandong and had a deep foundation in the court. He was worried about the storm. Although he was also a captain of Chengying, Li Sihai’s news was many times more powerful than Zhao Xingde. Today, he was exposed to Zhao Xingde and had the intention of making friends and showing kindness, so he comforted him: “Brother Zhao was promoted to the captain for several years, and some trees were very popular. Some people in the court used this to slander Brother Zhao, trying to recreate the injustice of Li Ling and Li Xu. The court will naturally conquer the Ming Dynasty, so Brother Zhao doesn’t need to worry too much. As a colleague of Chengying, Li did not tolerate others calling a deer a horse.”
Zhao Xingde looked up when he heard the sound and said with a reluctant smile: "Thank you, Brother Li, for your advice." He no longer called him the title of lieutenant, but he accepted the favor of Li Sihai.
Li Sihai waved his hand, and he looked at Zhao Xingde and whispered, "Xingzhi, I, Daxia, use people in a variety of ways. Although you are from Guandong, you have gained merits and promoted merits quickly, and no one can say anything, but you will be sure of yourself." Zhao Xingde's heart was shaking, but he heard him pause and sighed, "The world will be divided for a long time, and the Xia, Song and Liao tripods have been in a long time," Li Sihai turned his eyes to the cabin, and the blue sky was out of sight, and whispered, "Now Liaodong is doomed, Yelu Dashi breaks the deadlock with his strength. Who would have thought that this would be the first opportunity for the unification of the world?"
Li Sihai's age seems to be no older than Li Ruobing, and he is not much older than Zhao Xingde, and he is not usually dependent on his shape. However, when he says this, it seems like a tone of vicissitudes of life. Zhao Xingde is a little uncomfortable and has no words for a moment, saying, "Brother Li is saying."
Li Sihai seemed to come back to his senses, took out a letter from his arms, and smiled and said, "I am a person who is distracted and irrelevant. This is a letter from my younger brother to Brother Zhao, and he is transferred on his behalf." Although Li Yong set up his own business, he did not break away from the Bowang Hou Mansion, so his business with Zhao De did not hide the brother's concealment, and he briefly mentioned it in his letter.
Zhao Xingde's heart burst and thought to himself, did Li Sihai know about the partnership with Chen Dong? But he didn't know that it was an open secret that the powerful and powerful people in the State of Xia and the State of Song made profits in the commercial banks. Even the Cao family in the Xijing camp and the Zhe Yang family in the Hedong camp still had many contacts with Xia Guo in the caravan. Chen Dong was involved in the Yajiaoxing, which was just that. Zhao Xingde took the letter and Li Sihai handed the paper cutter, and opened it in front of him. After reading it, his face changed a little.
Yajiaoxing and the Southeast wealthy merchants sold treasure goods to the Song Dynasty, and also sold silk and porcelain from the Song Dynasty to the Dashi princes. During this period, some Dashi princes wanted goods from the east, but did not have enough treasure goods to exchange, so they used Kunlun slaves and Hu Ji who were plundered in the war to make up for the count. Li Yong also collected all the Kunlun slaves overseas to reclaim wasteland, while Hu Ji transported them to Jiangnan, Hebei, and sold them to Qinlou Chuguan or wealthy families. Although the Song Dynasty was still in full, the Kunlun slaves were sent overseas to Jiangnan, Hebei, and sold them to Qinlou Chuguan or wealthy families.
It is known as a country of etiquette, but he cannot help but take concubines, and the government and the country are fond of prostitutes, and there is a shortage of supply. Li Yong even instigated the princes of Dashi to continue to attack and plunder slaves to make up for the difference in trade between the two sides. In order to expand the results of the war, he even sent people to operate in the Guguo Mansion to sell arms to the Dushi to the Dushi. Because slaves had been banned in the territory of Xia, this letter was specifically sought to Zhao Xingde to support Yajiaoxing's slave business in the Guguo Mansion.
"It's really, ridiculous, ridiculous." Zhao Xingde folded the letter paper and murmured.
"I didn't expect that Xingzhi's business was so big, and I would have to take care of Brother Yu in the future." Li Sihai handed the letter to Zhao Xingde to see his expression at this time, and he felt extremely happy. He thought to himself, "When the Fourth Battalion opened the Linjiang Tower, you pretended to be a gentleman, but now your business with your second brother is even more successful than mine."
"Isn't this violate the court's laws?"
"The population transactions are both outside our territory. Does our law still control the great cannibals and Song people?"
Zhao Xingde pondered and said, "It's just..., whether... should... do not do to others what you don't want." Li Yong mentioned regretfully in his letter that because the cabin was simple, sometimes 600% of the slaves who were trafficked died of illness and thirst at sea, which were all cost-effective. Zhao Xingde remembered that these people's families were broken, their families died in a foreign land, and their miserable tragedy was buried in a fish's belly.
"You have lived in the Song Dynasty for a long time. I don't know that the barbarians in the world are endless. If you don't accept the king's transformation, you can even kill them. You can consume their vitality and not let their evil seeds reproduce and grow. Otherwise, you will tolerate and raise evil spirits and raise tigers. "Li Sihai pressed his hand on the hilt of the knife, and his smile became a little cold. "The Jin Dynasty moved the barbarians inwardly, causing the Five Barbarians to invade China. The former Tang Dynasty used Hu to expel the Han Dynasty, and there was the Anshi Rebellion. The world's fortunes may not always be in the Han Dynasty. My Daxia would not take advantage of the sharp edge of the blade to eliminate the troubles of future generations and descendants, and when will it last!" Although he regarded himself as a minister of the Xia Kingdom, he would not go too far into the Tang Dynasty's faults, and only counted the decline of the Tang Dynasty on the heads of the Hu people in Anshi.
Zhao Xingdedao: "Born in distress and death in peace, leaving half a room for action, luck may not be in the Han Dynasty." He was seriously injured and regained his spirits and fought with Li Sihai. Although he was hoarse, his voice was weak, which seemed to be in vain.
Li Sihai was silent for a moment, his eyes changed several times, and sighed slowly, "You have the kindness of a woman, so it is not appropriate to be in charge of soldiers. The battlefield where heroes compete for the destiny are all tigers and wolves. Although the world is big, there is no thought of kindness. I would like to say more, it is better to quit my military position and take Mrs. Zun back to Chang'an. You should do an errand with this kindness of kindness in the scholar's house." Although this is a bit abrupt, it comes from the heart. After Li Sihai finished speaking, he stopped talking and looked into the distance. The sea boat was limited, and he did not have a beard, and his cheeks and chin were shaved with a knife. At this time, he suddenly became serious, which was very different from usual, and he seemed to be un angry and powerful, just like a general in the martial arts temple.
Zhao Xingde was stunned and had not answered yet. At this time, a shout came from outside the cabin: "Suzhou is here!"
Li Sihai's eyes sterned and stood up. The green mountain line appeared at the intersection of water and sky in the east, which was the ridge of Laotie Mountain in Suzhou. The ships of the Fourth Battalion of Chengying came and went to Liaodong and were already familiar with the important mountainous landforms along the coast. The Han army's lookout post on the shore had not yet responded, and the sailors on the ship had already shouted loudly. At this time, the navy was far less disciplined than the later navy. As they were about to dock, the sailors were running around and telling each other on the deck.
Not long after, the Han army's fortress on the Tieshan Mountain also fired a cannon. In order to prevent the enemy from cheating the camp, although the scouts saw the Xia flag clearly in the Qianli Mile Mile Mile, the Han army's water village still strengthened their vigilance. It was not until Han Ningshuang sent the general order that the Han army's water village had opened the gate of the dock gate, and hundreds of wooden boats sailed out of the water village. The Han army's ships were divided into ten teams and lined up on the sea surface to welcome them. At the same time, the cavalry and slew of the Han army's cavalry generals also led their own soldiers to come, and thousands of people raised the camp flags and gathered at the dock to welcome them.
Although the news of Han Ningshuang's rescue had already been informed by Feige, the Han generals were always worried. Wanyan Aguda had just died, and immediately killed each other. As a result, the Liao people looked at the opportunity and were defeated. This was the lesson of the past. After the defeat of the Jin Dynasty, the Liao army was overwhelmed, and the Han army was bound to be masters. After learning that Han Ningshuang had finally returned to Suzhou safely, the generals finally let go of their hearts.
The closer you approach the shore, the more turbid the sea water becomes. The shape of the gunship in Xia Kingdom is different from that of ordinary merchant ships. The hull is narrow and long, filled with iron cannons, ammunition and cargo, and the draught is far deeper than that of ordinary wooden ships. When entering the port, a water diversion ship sent by the Han army should be protected and guided to sail from front, back and left and right of the ship. The hull plowed out two turbid waves and slowly moored into the port. The sea ship drove closer to the port, and the Han army sailors on both sides of the waterway and the horses and infantry soldiers on the port docks saw the big flag of Qilin and cheered loudly. The Han army camps far and near cheered together when they heard the sound. The whole of Guannan in Suzhou was very lively, as if they had won a great victory.
"The Liao army was in a hurry. If it were not so popular, it would probably be deflated." Han Ningshuang waved to her subordinates on the shore and explained in a low voice.
Zhao Xingde nodded. He and Li Sihai each changed into soft armor and stood on both sides of Han Ningshuang. Li Sihai's ears were singing and smiled slightly when he heard the sound. The soldiers of the Fourth Battalion of Chengying were temporarily used as Han Ningshuang's personal soldiers, and the armor was surrounded by her and the Han army's Qilin flag was cast. Li Sihai had long asked the woman on the boat to sew pulp and wash the fitted robes for Han Ningshuang. At this moment, not only did he not have the hasty momentum of escaping from the battlefield, but he also seemed extraordinary.
At this grand welcome ceremony, the family members of Chengying's Eighth Battalion were all hiding in the cabin. Zhao Zhuo and Zhao Yong's two children, with their heads squeezed in the window, and opened their eyes wide and looked at the strangeness. Zhao Zhuo looked at Han Ningshuang being guarded by the generals like stars in the moon, and enviously said: "Mom, I have grown up and I want to be like General Han."
Stars flashed in her daughter's eyes. Li Ruoxue looked at the energetic Han Ningshuang, and her eyes returned to the cabin and landed on the fine linen strap that was untied from Zhao Xingde's wound. She recognized that this was a woman's thing, but did she give it back to her, or didn't? Why did she repay this love? Even though Bingxue was smart, Li Ruoxue sighed softly.
