"Each person performs his duties and is good at tidying up his leisure time, and the army is good at discussing the meaning of the classics..."

"Generals and officials work hard, their knowledge increases day by day, their strategies are deeper, and their elegance is not inferior to those of literati. It is often said that the scholars should look at each other with their attention for three days after they part. Whenever the fleet arrives at the berth, the people are happy, and the innocent and elegant scholars will gather without invitation. The hall is always full, and poetry and rituals are sing and rewarding, and a grand event is a moment. People say that peaches and plums do not speak, and they will form their own paths..."

Zhou He held his pen and thought, frowned. If he continued to write this, the secret message to the court would become a praise for his praise.

Too much is not enough, it is not good for him, and it is not good for Zhao Xingde. The food and salary expenditure of the Jinyan Mansion of the imperial court has been increasing, and the people of the eyes and ears are far more than that of the previous dynasty. Zhou He recorded it every day, and every time he went to a place, the foot of the Jinyan Mansion came to join him. Although he was an old man from Jinyan Mansion, the imperial court specially placed him in the navy to monitor Zhao Xingde, he didn't know if anyone was monitoring him and reported his every move every day.

Whenever Zhou He thought about this, he felt like walking on thin ice...

The hull was shaking slightly. When he first went out to sea, Zhou He vomited a lot. Until now, no matter how he cleaned it, there was a fishy and sour smell in the cabin. However, in more than two months, he finally adapted. Among the entire navy, there were quite a few like Zhou He. The navy floated on the sea, like a small country. Even for officers, the cabin was like a cell, but this cell was slightly larger than the ordinary sailors. Life was extremely boring, which was also the reason why many officers who were not interested in the discussions were attended. There were no restaurants and tile houses at the sea, and gambling was banned. Everyone had to have a channel to waste their leisure, vent and energy. For ordinary sailors, listening to the lecture was a rare opportunity to gain insight. Although they didn't understand it, as long as they remembered just a few words, it was enough to go back and brag about it.

Zhou He closed the notes on going out to sea and was about to pick up a copy of "Taibai Yin Fu Jing" to watch, but he felt the hull suddenly shocked. He raised his head and looked out. At this time, his personal soldiers reported: "Mr. Zhou, you are leaving the state and by the port. Governor Zhao asked Master Zhou to go to the banquet."

"Okay!" Zhou He dressed in front of the mirror, and waited until the boat stopped, and then he stepped out.

If it is elsewhere, he doesn't have to be so cautious, but it is different from other places from other places.

The old emperor was deceived by traitors and exiled the Qingliu scholars who were implicated in the case of Yuanyou and the Qingliu scholars who were implicated in the case of Jietie to Lingnan. Several years later, Chen Dong and others resurrected the Nanhai Reclamation Career. All the resigned officials, who were originally willing to move their clans to the Nanhai Reclamation Career, came from this group of exiled Qingliu. Although these people were loyal and good descendants, they had some resentment towards the court due to their various experiences. The resigned gentry who were displaced in the state

, the entire South China Sea has the most resentment towards the court. In order to prevent the treacherous party from being eliminated, these gentry sent their children out of refuge long before the imperial court settled in Daxing. The island was originally named Jindao, but they called the island. Later, although this place was renamed Lizhou as the imperial court settled the system, not only opened its own official schools, but the gentry also remained close to the court. Not only did they not buy the account of Cai Li treacherous party, but they were not very convinced of the Qingliu leaders such as Chen Dong and Zhao Xingde.

The rest of the settlements in the South China Sea were spent on resting and recuperation, and one of the efforts was spent on building cities and training troops, while Lizhou spent five of the efforts on training and preparing for war. At that time, the Dashi Navy had not yet invaded the coast of Song State. Who were they guarding was known at first sight. However, Xia State also saw the close relationship between Lizhou and the Song State court, and appointed the entire Jindao as the fief of Baoyi Marquis. Although Zhao Xingde declined, the news had spread that there was an embarrassment between Zhao Xingde, the Song State court and Lizhou State, which had become a layer of embarrassment that was difficult to explain. This was also the reason why Zhao Xingde had abnormal behavior and specially held a banquet with Zhou He and other naval officers to entertain the gentry of Lizhou.

Zhou He was thinking and walking, suddenly, someone next to him grabbed his arm and said, "Brother?"

Zhou He was shocked. He was born in Jinyan Mansion and was a martial arts practitioner. Self-defense had become a habit. He was not caught in his arms for a while. He was shocked and suddenly swung his hand, turned around and grabbed the other person's shoulder and pressed it down. The man screamed like a pig: Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, say something, brother, do you have something to say?" At this time, Zhou He looked at the man who was fighting. He saw that he was about twenty years old, wearing a Xiaoyao scarf on his head, wearing a wide robe and big sleeves, holding a folding fan in his hand, begging for mercy with a bitter face: "Sir, I think it's a misunderstanding. Shen has no malicious intentions, but he just wants to inquire about the situation in Hebei."

"Hmph!" Zhou Heyi let him go and said in a muffled voice, "I have something to say, I will do it as soon as I come up. Is your master teaching this?"

Shen Liyan was suddenly said by the general, and the boss was unwilling to do so. Just now, he looked at Zhou He's back, as if he was in his twenties. Unexpectedly, when he turned around, he was about as old as his father, and he taught himself a lesson with his elders. He had to explain respectfully: "Shen Liyan, a student from Xiazhou, is from Gaoyang County, Hebei Province. He was just eager to be a homeland and was rude. He hoped that the general would apologize for his sins." As he said that, he bowed deeply to apologize for the courtesy. No matter how he taught his family, the land of reclamation was much more wild than that of the Central Plains, and ethics could not be so strict. Shen Liyan was easy-going and frivolous, otherwise he would not have held the arm of a navy officer who had never met before and spoke.

"Yes." Zhou He nodded, "Since that's the case, be careful next time."

He looked sharp. Did the other party really apologize? He knew at first sight that Shen Liyan was not as arrogant as an ordinary student in the bones. So much so that Zhou He was not good at blame, he shook his head and said, "To be honest, when the navy set out from Guangzhou, the army of Yue had not crossed the river. We don't know what the Northern Expedition Army was." He said, while walking towards the front deck of the tower ship. Shen Liyan hurriedly followed his footsteps and asked, "Well, the general thinks, how successful or failure of the Northern Expedition?"

"The war is just a very good situation, but the wonderful use lies in one's heart." Zhou He said casually, "Victory and defeat are commonplace in military affairs."

"The general's words are reasonable." Shen Liyan said in his heart that Lord Zhao's command was full of talents, and it was indeed not a false news.

Zhou He smiled slightly with a very expert demeanor. He was secretly proud and didn't say anything. He took Shen Liyan to the front deck.

Although he has a high official rank, he has always been a martial artist. He has been under Zhao Xingde's command for a long time. He has read 300 Tang poems and can even recite them. This time, the students in the imperial examination admired him very much, which was a bit of it. Even when he saw Shen Liyan, he became pleased with him and said intimately: "It is better to see him than to hear it. It is said that the gentry in the Lizhou and the court are disagreeable. This surnamed Shen is a little conscientious. He can mention a secret report to the court. Whether the minister in the court can look at him or not, the future will depend on his personal fortune."

Shen Liyan didn't know that he had no idea about Mount Tai, but this time he got the other party's help.

He followed Zhou He to the front deck, and there were more than a dozen round tables arranged. The gentry and officers of the Navy were taking their seats. Before the banquet officially began, the topic was indeed centered on the Northern Expedition of the court. Zhou He's position in the Navy was second only to Zhao Xingde. He patted Shen Liyan on the shoulder and walked straight to the upper seat. Shen Liyan was stunned and saw that the "a little knowledgeable general" sat next to his uncle, Xuezheng Shen Mingchen. There was a seat between the magistrate Lin You and Shen Mingchen. It happened that he came over because he and Zhou He entered the venue and nodded slightly to Shen Liyan.

Shen Liyan's mind suddenly turned blank: "Mr. Zhao actually nodded to me?"

Here, who else can sit in this position except the famous Zhao Yuanzhi? He hurriedly saluted the other party, and then went to find his position at a loss. Because he was too excited, he almost knocked over the stool behind him, and was pulled down by his friend Xu Qi. Xu Qi looked at Shen Liyan with envy: "You are so developed, how can Mr. Zhao recognize you?"

"I," Shen Liyan's mind was still immersed in incredibleness and murmured, "I don't know either."

After a simple arrangement, the front deck of the navy governor's ship had completely changed. Although it was not too late, a bunch of big red lanterns had been hung on the mast. There were eighteen large round tables on the deck. The tablecloths were all the best silks in Jiangnan. The gentry of Lizhou and the navy officers of the prefecture of the dock quickly filled the tables. Apart from the seats, the navy did not specify a position for every guest. Therefore, there were always a few who were not familiar with each other at a table. Before the banquet officially began, everyone exchanged greetings and realized that it was very lively. Zhao Xingde's command was full of talents, and he could be called a place where the dragons and tigers were hidden. Although the Lizhou Qingliu was extremely high, he was not ignorant. He treated the navy officers as rude and unwilling hawks and dogs.

"The children have no knowledge, so Lord Zhao laughed."

Shen Mingchen bowed to Zhao Xingdedao and Zhou He again: "Just just now, we are asking Lord Zhao for advice on the Northern Expedition, and Lord Zhou also took a look at it." His attitude was very humble. If Zhou He had not read this person's file, he would never have thought that this man over 50 years old had driven away three officials sent by the court and forced the Guangzhou Maritime Shipping Office to pinch his nose and appoint the so-called "state school" of Lizhou, and even established a Lizhou regiment that was powerful enough to shake Jindao.

When the chief of Jindao drove away the Song people, Shen Mingchen and Lin You led the Lizhou regiment to practice without any concessions. Shen Mingchen even carried the coffin to the city to help the battle. Later, he was deceived and detained by the enemy in the name of peace. Shen Mingchen continued to go on a hunger strike. Eleven days later, the news of the Song army's victory in Guangzhou reached Jindao, and Shen Mingchen was released to Lizhou. At that time, the fifty-year-old man had only half his life left, but he forced his remaining energy to force the chief of Jindao to kill the national teacher who had slandered him, greatly weakening the power of the Dashi merchants.
