The long-distance voyage more than a month after departure from Longzhu Island has been smoothly expanding the sea and boundaries, which has far exceeded everyone's expectations.

While the officers were relaxed, they had other ideas. They originally thought that the South China Sea was a place of miasma that had been lived in. However, now they have seen it with their own eyes that every piece of land is rare and fertile. If the Song Dynasty wants to expand its territory, the resistance to the South China Sea would be much smaller than that of the strong neighbors on the northwest. Xu Xiaoyun proposed in the military discussion that "lost it from the northwest and take it from the South China Sea." Instead of exhausting the people and exerting money in the north, it would be better to give up Hebei and let Liao and Xia fight in the north. The Song Dynasty defended Henan and even the Jianghuai line, concentrated manpower and material resources to expand its power to the South China Sea. After the country's strength is strong in the future, then make a plan to make a plan to plan for the north.

This proposal was proposed by Xu Xiaoyun, and immediately caused a considerable response among the navy officers.

At this time, the general trend in the court was to devote its national strength to regain the old border. Therefore, the dispute between the "Northern Expedition" and "Expanding the Sea" factions in the navy was also very fierce. Even Zhao Xingde had to personally warn the officers to learn from the lessons of the new and old party struggles in the court that led to the decline of the national power, and the military discussions were stopped by the dispute between gentlemen. Although the South China Sea Navy was not a dead thing that only implemented military orders, such major national policies should be based on the decisions of the court's center. Finally, the debate was limited to the scope of the military discussion and did not deteriorate to the "party struggle".

"After this incident, Zhao Xingde suddenly realized that even he could only stabilize the situation. Even if he said it personally, he could not completely convince the officers. Many young officers in the navy who joined the army had a teacher-student relationship with Zhao Xingde. Zhao Xingde devoted his efforts to these people, but he could not cultivate his parents and children. After discovering this, his mood was a little complicated. He was relieved that Xu Xiaoyun, Feng Mi and others were becoming more and more independent, and he felt a little disappointed.

"Others will be the ones who will be the ones who will be with power, tempt them with righteousness, and conquer them with righteousness..."

Zhao Xingde turned his head and looked at it, but Zhou Heli was beside him and whispered: "I have never seen anyone like General Zhao, letting the generals discuss it. However, I have never heard of the generals who serve so loyally. Is there any trick in this?"

"There is no trick?" Zhao Xingde shook his head and said.

Zhou He was a little older than him. Since the two took the boat to sea, they worked together, and the relationship between the generals and the military supervisors in other camps of the court was very different, and they spoke a lot more casually. Looking at Zhou He's unbelieving expression, Zhao Xingde pondered for a while and explained, "For example, a carpenter must follow the texture of the wood to achieve a long time. The military is talking about national affairs, and for all the generals, it is also clear to the mind and nature. As the saying goes, the benevolent people have their own opinions, and the wise people have their own opinions. The stones from other mountains can attack jade. All the generals in the army are pillars and they also have the intention of saving the world and the people. At the beginning, Zhao took advantage of the situation and forced to understand people. Later, they discussed with each other and saw their hearts more clearly. The roads followed by personal practice, and Zhao didn't need to do anything more."

"But why do I feel that talking about it every day has nothing to do with our navy's military affairs."

Du Chujiao was at the back and said in confusion. Although he occasionally participated in the military discussions of the officers, he was never interested in the national affairs of the Song Dynasty. Du Chujiao was worried about the price of the Zhengxin Hall tickets all day long. However, as a Xia ** official, he was still aware of sharing the worries of the country. He looked at Zhao Xingde and said worriedly: "General Zhao, don't you know if the spoils we got there after we took the Basra were divided on the spot?

Should we send it to the river to sell by land? Or will we ship it back to the Song State by sea? Logically speaking, the army in the river has robbed enough. Our navy is originally a military service. We traveled thousands of miles to deliver food to them. They eat meat. We must let us drink some soup." According to his opinion, since the army in the river has emerged, there is no suspense to win. The Anxi Army relies on its huge power in the Guguo Mansion and the General's Mansion to force the navy to do hard work.

"What do you think?" Zhao Xingde was stunned, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and asked, "Where is the cost-effective way to transport it?"

"Of course it was transported back to Song State for sale." Du Chujiao was excited and said with a smile, "The price of the big food in Song State is much higher than that in the river, and selling at high prices is second. When the treasure cargo of this ship is shipped back, the South China Sea coupon will definitely surge." His fist hit the air hard, and he said annoyed, "His grandma's price must be particularly low now!"

"Then you don't have to regret it." Zhao Xingde was amused by him and continued, "because others may not be able to buy it."

Everyone was laughing, but behind Zhao Xingde's smile, there was deep worries. The Southwest Sea Navy seemed to be smooth sailing, but the two ongoing wars between the East and the West could not control the ending. The failure of any war would have severe consequences. The sea breeze was slightly drunk, blowing his clothes, but at this moment, his mind was not on the calm sea, but he hoped to be on the battlefield and lead his army forward in the bitter cold wind.

............

Shortly after the first month of the year, heavy snow fell in Ezhou, and goose feather-like snowflakes came one after another, and the whole world of ice and snow inside and outside the city became a world of ice and snow.

Late at night, the Prime Minister's Mansion was still carrying lanterns, and the Northern Expedition was already at a critical moment.

"Is there any news about Shuai Yue?" Deng Su stared at the clerk and asked in a deep voice.

The rectification of the matter of the students in prefectures and counties was abandoned due to the opposition of the vast majority of academic and political schools. The Northern Expedition has become the last chance for the court to regain the situation. The prefectures and counties have already slandered and discussed it. If there is no progress in the Northern Expedition, I am afraid that the prime minister will be replaced if I cannot pass this year. However, Deng Su is worried here. Yue Fei, who is in the Hebei front line, and Cao Liangshi, who is in Bianliang, seems to have a "drag" trick. He always uses the excuse of insufficient supplies and refuses to send troops to capture Sanguan and Youzhou. Deng Su repeatedly urges but fails, and can't help but wonder whether the intentions of these two people are colluding with the forces of the Lishe Society in prefectures and counties. Some people have already proposed that Wu Zilong is the prime minister and Cao Liangshi is the political participation.

After repeated urging, Deng Su finally lost patience.

On the second day of the first lunar month, the 20th battalion of the newly trained imperial guards in Ezhou swore a battle. Ten thousand horse and siege musketeers escorted grain and grass to Hebei to reinforce the Northern Expedition Army. Wang Wuguan, the Minister of Personnel, wrote a letter, suggesting that Wang Gui be appointed as the Hebei Road General Commander to take over the military power of the Hebei Front. Although Yue Fei still maintained the name of the commander of the Northern Expedition, he was actually assigned to the front line by Wang Gui, and the commander's tent was also placed in Daming, responsible for the second-line defense and baggage transport behind the Northern Expedition Army. At the same time, Liu Duan, the Minister of War, also served as the position of left-behind Tokyo. Cao Liangshi was expelled from the position of Minister of War and was transferred to Hebei Henan Transfer Envoy, responsible for urging all prefectures and counties to transport grain and supplies to the army.

After hesitating for a long time, Deng Su finally agreed to Wang Wuguan's letter.

At the same time, Deng Su used Yue Yun's merits to defend the capital and quell the rebellion and requested His Majesty to be granted the title of Marquis of Dingxi.

When Cao Liangshi and Yue Fei seized commander in Bianliang, the three towns in Henan were in a state of separatism. Now the old story repeats itself. If Yue Fei has self-respecting his troops, he refuses to hand over military power, and if he says "the general is not allowed to be ordered by the king outside", or even "clear the emperor's side", the court's face will be ugly. Yue Yun is less than thirty years old. Although he has the great contribution to suppress the rebellion, the Ministry of War will have to suppress it, so as not to reward the great achievements in the future. The reason why Deng Su made the story of the Yue father and son who had been granted thirty titles to the marquis of the two generations was to let Yue Fei know that he only needed to give up the current situation and the court would repay him for a generational general like Yang, Cao, and Liu families. However, after the edict and the Jun order were issued at the same time, Deng Su was still a little nervous, waiting for the north's reaction almost day and night.

Although he firmly believed that Yue Fei was a loyal and brave general, with his strong temperament, it was not easy to be honest in his orders.

"My husband, General Yue's memorial has been handed over!" The clerk carefully presented a memorial.

"Why don't you need to rush to hand it over?" Deng Su frowned and scolded sternly, "When the two countries are fighting, the army is changing commanders in front of the army, it is the most negligent. How can such a major matter be handled carelessly?" He was anxious to wait for the news from Bianliang, so he was very angry and his tone was a bit harsh. The prime minister was as majestic as a mountain. Usually he saw him and his gentle clerk with such fright, and he immediately stuttered and defended: "This, this is the case when he was sent from Bianliang. He originally thought it was an ordinary military book, a villain, and wait, and after it was opened, he realized that this was Lord Yue's memorial."

"Hmph!" Deng Su had no time to pay attention and opened the memorial and looked at it.

The black patent-skin memorial is the most important one among the memorials of the states and camps. Not only did he walk slowly on the road, but he was in the prime minister's mansion, but he was also a memorial that was submitted in the end. It was not known how many times it took to get from Bianliang to this place. However, as his eyes moved, Deng Su's face did not improve, but became more gloomy and even with some anger. This memorial was not a secret memorial, so the clerk had read the content in advance. He looked at the prime minister with a gloomy face and secretly annoyed: "Why did you let me encounter this?" He quickly buried his head deeply again, "Don't harm the villain when fighting a god."

Just muttering silently, "Bang" a loud noise almost brought out the soul of the clerk. He looked up and peeked, and Deng Suzheng almost angrily patted the memorial on the desk. The prime minister was so angry that even when Cao Gu rebelled and attacked Ezhou, the clerk had never seen it before. "Release the Jia and return to the field, return to his hometown to recuperate, Yue Pengju, you are not considered tying the court, so what is the threat?"

In the memorial, Yue Fei actually asked to go back to his hometown to recuperate on the grounds of not being able to take the matter as a reason to ask for help from his home. All major events in the Northern Expedition Army could be handed over to Wang Gui and the generals. Although the memorial was written respectfully and tactfully, it still made people feel a sense of pride, dissatisfaction, and alienation. After reading it, Deng Su felt anger surged over his head. "This is to threaten the court." He confirmed this judgment, "and it must be relied on! I am afraid it is a trick to collude with Wu Zilong and Cao Liangshi. It won't take long before the Qing Dynasty will compile some plots of "jealousy of the virtuous and jealousy, and harming loyal and kind". "He used to have three parts of regret for Wang Gui's seizing Yue Fei's military power, but at this moment there was not even a single point left. He didn't even care about venting his anger, and just thought about how to break the situation of cutting off the firewood from the cauldron.
