Richard hurriedly raised his hands to Zongze and said, "Then there is General Lao."
Zongze nodded slightly and said, "How dare you, how dare you."
.......
.......
Richard did not stay in Yanshan Mansion for a long time, only two days. After he finished discussing with Zongze, he hurried back. After all, their party members were racing against time and had to race against time. Pu Zhiqian also used the fastest speed
Leaving at such a speed, he had a premonition that great changes would occur in the Central Plains, so he had to rush back to inform their king of the situation in the Central Plains, so that he could make arrangements in advance.
Although the Song Dynasty made big moves this time, it was surprisingly fast in diplomacy. This is because everyone has already spoken out and said that the Song Dynasty has clearly stated that it will send troops. It is not the same as before, always equivocating.
However, it is confusing, this time it is very simple, so there is not much to talk about, you just need to decide which side to stand on.
Li Qi had just sent Pu Zhiqian away, and before he could return home, he heard from his servants that Han Shizhong, who had gone to sea, was back. Li Qi hurriedly summoned Han Shizhong.
"General Han, thank you for your hard work."
As soon as Li Qi saw Han Shizhong, he hurried over to greet him.
"The general has met the Privy Councilor."
Although Li Qi was informal, Han Shizhong did not dare to act rashly and bowed respectfully.
"No courtesy, no courtesy. General Han, please come inside."
The two came to the hall, and as soon as they sat down, Han Shizhong immediately asked: "Privy Councilor, when did you come?"
Li Qidao: "It's been a while since I arrived."
Han Shizhong's eyes lit up and he seemed a little hard to speak.
Li Qi chuckled: "Do you want to ask me why I am in Yanyun and not Laizhou?"
Han Shizhong nodded hurriedly.
Li Qidao: "It's very simple, because the emperor has decided to send troops to the Kingdom of Jin."
Sure enough, Han Shizhong said excitedly: "Is the Privy Council serious about what he said?"
"Do I dare to talk nonsense about this matter?"
Li Qi smiled and said: "But we will discuss this later. I also want to ask you about the situation in the waters surrounding Japan?"
Han Shizhong suppressed the excitement in his heart and said: "To be honest with the Privy Council, in fact, when the Privy Council asked me to assist General Niu, I thought I still had some uses. Who would have known that I have been there until now?"
The navy under my command has never fought a single battle when it comes to transporting grain, grass, and weapons, and the waters around Japan are calm. I have to say that General Niu is really a master at using his troops, and Han Wu is very impressed."
At the beginning, Li Qi expected that it would be difficult to conquer Japan, so he asked Han Shizhong to lead the Fuzhou Navy to assist, mainly to control the strait. Who knew that so many accidents would happen, such as the main force of the Ping family being completely annihilated, which was all unexpected
, Therefore, Han Shizhong really served as a grain escort officer from beginning to end, and the only role of his Fuzhou Navy was to transport grain.
Li Qidao: "I know very well how many pounds Niu Gao has. He is definitely not as good as General Han. Moreover, food and grass are very important to the expeditionary army. Transporting food and grass may seem simple and cumbersome, but can the food and grass be delivered to the destination on time?"
, This is not easy. I am really happy that General Han can put down his identity and help Niugao and the others transport food and grass. Come on, let me toast General Han."
Han Shizhong raised his glass and said: "I, Han Wu, are today only because of the promotion of Privy Councilor. This cup should go to Privy Councilor Han Wujing."
The two had a symbolic toast.
It seems that those guys didn't show any flaws. Li Qi felt a little relieved and said: "By the way, will General Han gain anything from going to sea this time?"
Before Li Qi arrived, Han Shizhong was asked to go to sea to search for the missing ship.
Han Shizhong seemed to remember something and said: "Privy Councilor, I was about to report this matter to you."
Li Qi hurriedly asked: "Did you find out anything?"
Han Shizhong nodded and said: "I am now certain that the missing fleet must be stored in Sanshan Port or a nearby island, and I also have a general direction."
These three mountains were where Dalian was located in later generations, and were strategically important to guard the Bohai Strait, while Yingzhou was in Qinhuangdao in later generations. Although the two places are not very far apart, there is a sea area in between. In the past, the Liao Kingdom
At that time, the Sanshan area belonged to Liaoyang Prefecture in Tokyo. However, since the Jin Army established the navy, in order to facilitate unified management and expansion of the navy, Wanyan Sheng decided to place all the coastal areas of Sanshan under the unified management of Yingzhou.
"Three mountains?" Li Qi frowned and said, "What credentials do you have?"
Han Shizhong shook his head and said: "I haven't found any specific evidence yet, but I learned from some fishermen who went fishing in the Sanshan area. In the days when the fleet disappeared, they saw a caravan heading towards Sanshan from a distance.
Sailing away, it was just because the distance was too far. They didn't see it clearly, but how could there be such a huge caravan on the Jin side? If it was our fleet, it should have appeared east of Sanshan, not
west.
In order to confirm what those fishermen said, I immediately sent fishermen Qiao Zhuangcheng to investigate the waters west of Sanshan. However, when they were approaching Sanshan, they were driven away by some boats. I had to ask the fishermen again about the coast west of Sanshan.
However, if we really want to find out what is going on, we will definitely have a conflict with the Jin Navy, so I will come back first."
After hearing this, Li Qi nodded and said secretly that it was originally hidden in Sanshan. No wonder it could not be found. "Then do you know the true and false status of the opponent's navy?"
Han Shizhong shook his head and said: "We still don't know yet. However, Privy Council, the navy has always been our strength. It is precisely because of this that our maritime trade can develop so smoothly. Once the navy of the Jin Kingdom becomes stronger, it will inevitably
It will cause us a lot of trouble, especially in the Sanshan area. This is the only way for our trade and it is very important. Now that the emperor has decided to send troops to the Jin Kingdom, I think we should first send out the navy to eliminate the Jin Kingdom.
Navy, in that case, we can attack the Kingdom of Jin from the sea."
Li Qi frowned and said, "I understand this, but this is not an easy thing to do."
Han Shizhong immediately said: "I have a strategy to defeat the enemy."
Li Qi snorted and said, "General, tell me quickly."
Han Shizhong said: "Although the Jin Kingdom spent a lot of money and manpower to build this navy, they made a big mistake, that is, they should not have divided and stockpiled it when they first established the navy.
, although these three mountains are not far from the mainland of Yingzhou, but because they are separated by the sea, it will take more than half a month at the fastest to go from Yingzhou Port to Sanshan Port. In this way, we can divide and annihilate them.
In short, as long as the Privy Council nods, Han Wu will be 100% sure to capture Sanshan Port and Yingzhou Port in one fell swoop with the navy in his hands."
Li Qi nodded with a smile and said: "It would be great if General Han has such confidence, but now is not the time. Oh, the general just happened to be back, so just stay in Yanshan Mansion for a few more days. I will wait. After the meeting, people will be sent to invite the veteran generals of the Seed Division, General Zhe Kecun, and Yue Fei and others to come to Yanshan Mansion to prepare for the attack on the Kingdom of Jin."
