    Ouyang smiled bitterly: "You are a magic stick. You will not let the sea be waveless. You are just gambling on luck. What else can you do? Do you really want to see 30,000 people being eaten by the Liao people?" The sea-going ship has a keel, a deep draft, and can  Weather the storm.  River boats are relatively simple in craftsmanship and can easily be overturned in high winds and rough waves.  In addition, the water level of river boats is relatively shallow, so it is easy for a wave to come over and cover the cabin.  But if the weather is calm, it's not impossible.  Kublai Khan used flat-bottomed inland ships to attack Japan.  Sea ships have keels that river ships don't have, and the keels can withstand strong winds.  Due to no weather forecast, Kublai Khan's fleet encountered a strong typhoon storm in the Sea of ??Japan after sailing for six days. All ships sank overnight.  The journey from the Yellow River to Laizhou is only four days' sea journey, and it is all offshore navigation. If you are lucky At present, the dead horse Quan can only be the living horse doctor, and Tai Xuzi immediately went out to the political hall.  Li Gang was overjoyed when he heard about this method and immediately went to see Zhao Yu.  After getting permission, he left the palace and started negotiating with the merchants.  There are not many merchant ships staying on the Bian River, but there are about twenty ships.  It can transport hundreds of heavy cannons and gunpowder.  But when the merchants heard that they were going to sea, they refused, but the price they offered drove Li Gang crazy.  Li Gang originally wanted to collect it by force, but when he saw that the boat was empty, not even a boatman could be seen.  Knowing that compulsory measures will inevitably cause a lot of trouble and delay for a long time.  Besides, river boats cannot be forced to take risks on the sea.  He can bear the infamy, but Zhao Yu cannot.  In desperation, he had to respond to Zhao Yu.  "Eight thousand and eighty-eight thousand trips per ship?" Zhao Yu almost jumped up.  This is robbery. He asked: "Which businessman is so bold?" "It's Lord Ou." Li Ganghan said: "Master Ou said it's a life-threatening job. We must consider that they may die at sea, so they need more money.  The point is to subsidize the widow. "Zhao Yu was furious: "You Ouyang" Li Gang said hurriedly: "Originally, the boatmen were not willing to take the risk, but Mr. Ou finally agreed after hard persuasion and intimidation.  It makes sense. Since you are taking the risk, you have to give him some housing expenses." It also makes sense. After thinking about it, Zhao Yu said, "Go back and tell him, if you don't do it, you can do it." Ouyang did it.  So he started loading the goods, and Ouyang paid an agency fee of 3,000 per ship.  It¡¯s necessary to get things done and earn some pocket money along the way.  Merchant ships belong to two shipping companies, which are quickly coordinated and enjoy one-stop service for cargo transportation and loading.  Compared with Xiangjun's loading, it is only faster but not slower.  That night, the fleet set sail under the escort of the Forbidden Army.  And Tokyo sent fast horses to recover the batch of supplies that had not left the Song Dynasty.  ¡­ ¡­ People¡¯s attitudes are different. Li Gang is grateful to Ouyang for his help.  Zhao Yu scolded Ouyang for half an hour in the palace. The main words were: national financial crisis, failure to the emperor, failure to the ancestors, lack of morals, etc.  When Ouyang saw that Zhao Yu was tired, he said: "Your Majesty, that's not how the accounts are settled. The danger of inland ships traveling on the sea is huge. If half of the ships are destroyed, Your Majesty will be accused of being an unjust and ignorant king." Ouyang dared to say this.  .  Zhao Yu asked feebly: "What else?" "But it's different if your Majesty gives a boatload of 10,000 yuan. Everyone will say that your Majesty is worried about the soldiers and it's because the businessmen are evil. Even if they all die at sea, no one will  "I don't think there's anything wrong with your Majesty." Zhao Yu nodded: "You mean, I made a profit?" "That's why you collected three thousand guan per ship?"  , Their internal price is four thousand, and the extra six thousand that Weichen can get is half of it per person." "You" Ouyang said hurriedly: "If they don't accept ten thousand, it doesn't mean that they are evil.  They were not allowed to make more, so they cut off part of it. " "Four thousand, you dare to give me eighteen thousand." Zhao Yu gritted his teeth and said, "You are really serving the country and the people." Ouyang said with shame: "Both the merchant and Prime Minister Li are grateful.  Wei Chen, Wei Chen is really flattered. " "" Zhao Yu was speechless, saying that he also wanted to thank Ouyang for solving a big problem.  Besides, this person has always had this kind of character, but this time he actually said that the money he received was also for the imperial court, which was really too shameless.  Zhao Yu was the emperor after all, so he asked calmly: "I heard that the strategy arranged by Tong Guan was your suggestion?" "Yes" Ouyang did not expect a reward.  Zhao Yu nodded and said casually: "I heard a rumor and I don't know if it is true." "What rumor?" "It is rumored that you and a woman named Myolie Wu are quite attached." "Your Majesty is joking." Ouyang said: "  Little girl, my eldest niece. I have some friendship with her father Hu Wansan. " "Your boss is not young anymore," Zhao Yu said, "Since you and General Liang separated.Never married.  "According to the rules left by Song Renzong, a man should marry at the age of fifteen and a woman at the age of thirteen. But it seems a bit unreasonable, but even according to the Tang Dynasty's rule of twenty for men and fifteen for women, Ouyang was too much. The Han Dynasty recorded that women at ten  If you are not married between the ages of five and thirty, you will be fined five times. In the Song Dynasty, it is not clear whether a woman is one year old or not. Of course, Ouyang is very surprised.  Yu suddenly mentioned this, didn't everyone marry everyone? So she asked cautiously: "What do you mean, Your Majesty?"  " "I want you to marry a woman as soon as possible.  Zhao Yu said: "The Ministry of Civil Affairs sent a list of illegal officials a few days ago. You, Ouyang, are the only ones who have not married when they reached the age."  I often visit Jiyuan, but the reputation is very bad.  "This is not the first time. Especially since Ouyang is a county magistrate, it is a serious violation to not take the lead in getting married. In ancient times, the mortality rate was high and it was a labor-intensive society, so every dynasty paid great attention to increasing the birth rate. " Ouyang Dao  : ¡°Your Majesty is not yet unmarried.  " "Iit's none of your business that I'm not married.  "Zhao Yu looked around, and there was only one Ninth Eunuch. Ninth Eunuch was sweating profusely, and he seemed to know a lot. Fortunately, Zhao Yu withdrew his gaze and said: "I am in my position, and I have nothing to do.  " There was a hint of helplessness in Zhao Yu's words. Since the emperor said it, Ouyang said politely: "If your Majesty really cares about Wei Chen so much, let Wei Chen marry General Liang.  " "Nonsense.  Zhao Yu shouted: "Don't you, Ouyang, want to be a family member of the army?"  " "Then don't marry for the time being.  "If you have the ability, you will be dismissed. Anyway, I can afford the fine. Ouyang actually knows that his behavior is wrong. According to the requirements of the ruler, as the magistrate of the county, the parent officer must take the lead. Fortunately, it is more tolerant now. In the Southern Song Dynasty,  , Ouyang would be impeached for being unfilial if he didn't marry under these conditions, which was a serious crime. Ouyang didn't say that if he really wanted to marry, he would marry Zhao Yu. After all, his first time was occupied by him, let alone ancient times.  , even in modern times, you have to show some attitude. Or marry Liang Hongyu, or any other famous lady, Zhao Yu is not interested and said: "It's up to you.  I have something serious that I would like to hear your opinion on, but it may be too early to talk about it now, but if we don¡¯t talk about it, I¡¯m afraid I won¡¯t be able to find you, the wandering magistrate, by then.  " "Your Majesty, please speak.  " "If according to the plan, the Song Dynasty will occupy the south of Dihe River, with Laizhou and Jinzhou as prominent marching areas.  To the north is Tongzhou, which connects Huanglong Prefecture.  If the Liao people retreat north to Tokyo, a situation will be formed such as the Northern Liao Kingdom, the Southern Song Kingdom, and the Eastern Jin Kingdom.  You also know that the Jurchens and the Khitans are currently in a truce.  Even though it has been announced to the outside world that they will unite Liao and Jin, there is still no war between Liao and Jin.  Can you think of a way to change this situation?  " That is to sow discord, at least not to let them share the same hatred and turn enemies into friends. Ouyang Xiangxiang said: "The one who is setting up defenses in Tongzhou and Tokyo is the only and most difficult famous general of the Liao Kingdom, Yelu Dashi. This man is not only good at military affairs, but also understands military affairs.  politics.  On the other side of Huanglong Mansion is Wanyan Zonghan, the son of Sa Gai, the prime minister of the Jin Kingdom.  This man is brave and resourceful, and is a first-rate general.  The generals on both sides are the best generals from the two countries, and their wisdom, bravery and strategy are not inferior to those of General Han.  It is quite difficult to provoke them.  " Zhao Yu asked: "Is there anything that Ouyang can't do?  " "Your Majesty, what you say is too flattering to a humble minister.  However, rebellions often broke out in the Liao Kingdom.  Yelu Dashi was from the Liao royal family and was dissatisfied with Emperor Tianzuo's mediocrity.  But you can consider alienating this person.  Anyone in the Liao Kingdom would be easier to deal with than this person.  "Historically, Yelu Dashi established himself as king and founded Xiliao when Emperor Tianzuo refused to listen to his dissuasion. He really complained about Emperor Tianzuo's mediocrity. "Yes.  Zhao Yu said nothing more and stood up and said: "It's rare to have a free day, come with me for a walk." "Yes" Ouyang regretted that he was caught as a young man for no reason. Is it easy to make such a small amount of money? He still had to stir up relations between Jin and Liao.   Zhao Yu asked all the maids and eunuchs in the imperial garden to get out and asked: "Have you read Dream Travels?  " Ouyang replied: "Wei ministers usually only read the books of sages, universities, and the Doctrine of the Mean.  " "You said that one day I will be tired and no longer want to be emperor, but I am not sure about leaving the country to the descendants of the Zhao family. What should I do?  " Ouyang knew that none of the princes and princes who were sent to Tokyo University for further studies could catch Zhao Yu's eyes. In fact, many emperors were worried about the handover of the throne. Mingjun could only tell his sons to pay attention to this and that, but few  There are people who I think are completely suitable or better than myself. However, this question is not something Ouyang can answer. Ouyang replied: "Your Majesty, this is an internal matter, and the ministers are only external officials.  " "I read Dream Travels, and it said that there is a capital, which is a constitutional monarchy.  It is said that the emperor makes laws, but he has no real power.  " This question was problematic, Ouyang asked quickly: "Your Majesty, do you want me to take care of you?The author of the book was found and killed?  " Zhao Yu still ignored Ouyang and continued: "The book says that this system has been passed down for two thousand years, and the emperors are still descendants of the same surname.  It doesn't matter whether the emperor is fatuous or shrewd.  Even if you are a fool, you can still pass it on.  I think over the thousands of years, one period can only last up to eight hundred years.  Some only last a few decades.  " Ouyang wiped away cold sweat: "Your Majesty, what do you mean?  " "What do I mean?  I'm not interested.  Zhao Yu said: "The Supreme Emperor is fatuous and incompetent. How many more Supreme Emperors will be like this?"  " "" Ouyang said: "There are some wise kings like your Majesty.  " Zhao Yu waved his hand in a half circle and asked: "What do you see?  " "I didn't see anything.  " "The palace is deep and the walls are high.  Zhao Yu shook his head and said: "I'm afraid Wu Zetian regretted becoming the emperor after she became the emperor. Why did she become the emperor?"  Ouyang, if we can successfully pacify the Liao and Jin Dynasties, I also want to be the Supreme Emperor.  The prosperity of the Song Dynasty was created by me, shouldn¡¯t I enjoy it?  " Ouyang asked cautiously: "Does your Majesty have someone to choose?  " "Ouyang is Ouyang. Li Gang was scared to death when he heard about it, and then he said he couldn't do it without me.  Zhao Yu said, "I'm not very satisfied with the selection."  " "After all, they are not their own children.  "Ouyang almost said that he would give birth to one by himself. Whether it is his own child is a very important issue. He loves his own child and wishes he could pick all the stars in the sky for him. "As for today, you can just know it in your heart.  Zhao Yu said: "I just want you and Li Gang to help me share my worries if necessary in the future."  " Ouyang smiled and said: "Your Majesty has become the Supreme Emperor, so I will take your Majesty to take a tour of the Song Dynasty.  " "You really can't speak.  "Zhao Yu smiled and didn't care. Ouyang is such a person. He won't try to dissuade him at all costs. If you don't want to do it, I will take you to play. Zhao Yu looked into the distance and said to himself: "I don't know what happened to Zhang Jun.  Like?  "  Zhang Jun found out a few days later that he had encountered such a troublesome person. Due to the lack of information, all the scouts in Liao were assigned by the Liao people. Zhang Jun simply didn't know why there was no news about the supplies. Seeing that he was leaving Dihe, it became more and more difficult.  The distance was getting closer, and the scheduled rendezvous with the Hangzhou fleet was getting closer. I was anxious, so I asked Xue Bing to discuss it. After discussion, the two thought that there must be a problem with that batch of supplies. How to solve the problem?  The two had some differences of opinion. The two of them had in common that they wanted to take Laizhou first, but Xue Bing believed that the lack of supplies and the presence of powerful enemies on all sides had failed to achieve the strategic goal. Zhang Jun's idea was to retreat from Laizhou and wait for rescue.  Xue Bing disagreed and took out the information and map provided by the Si family and said: "General Zhang, look, we have 100,000 Liao soldiers in Tongzhou and 15,000 in Jinzhou.  There are 80,000 Dading Prefecture troops in the west and 8,000 Dihe garrison troops in the south.  It is six times the strength of our army. To capture Laizhou, our army only needs two or three days to prepare for war.  Moreover, our army's equipment is far inferior to that of the Liao people.  The nearby Liao people possess 150 heavy artillery pieces with a range of 500 steps, more than 800 rocket vehicles, and countless hand cannons.  Coupled with the fact that Laizhou's low ground is unfavorable for defense, once our intentions are discovered and flanked on three sides, we will have no choice but to jump into the sea in a hurry.  Zhang Junze said: "These places are where the Liao people have heavily stocked up their troops. It is estimated that all the firearms of the Liao people are here. If they dare to take them all out, we will destroy half of them. Besides, they still have to keep some of their firearms.  Linhuang Mansion and Laizhou may not be able to bear the pressure. General Xue, don't forget that the Jurchens are still in Huanglong Mansion. Do the Tongzhou troops dare to go south to Laizhou? By accident, the Jurchens come out and take Tongzhou.  We can attack Linhuang Mansion."  Not only will they not mobilize reinforcements from the south and southwest, but they will alert the enemy and send reinforcements to the south and west with Linhuang Mansion as the center. " "Including those transported by the Hangzhou fleet, I have 50,000 people. He dares not to send reinforcements.  Go directly to Linhuang Mansion." Zhang Jun felt that he had mischosen his words: "The military order I received is to stick to Laizhou and wait for the opportunity to occupy Jinzhou. I know that I will die, but I will not hesitate.  I just hope that the Lord Supervisor will cooperate with me to restrain the soldiers." Having said that, what else can be done?  Although Xue Bing is the supervisor of the army, he is also responsible for the staff and supervision of rebellion. Changes in strategy and marching routes, the supervisor has no right to participate.  Xue Bing could only clasp his fists and say: "Xue will do his best." "Thank you, come here." Zhang Jun ordered his soldiers: "Send someone to the rear army to convey the order, and immediately rush to catch up with the main army." "Yes" The rear army has ten thousand people.  Due to various reasons, they fell hundreds of miles away. Their duty was to seize supplies, use some heavy weapons to set up defenses, and the rest headed towards Laizhou.  At present, the supplies cannot arrive on time.??, Zhang Jun did not want to take any chances anymore, decisively gave up the interception, and rushed to Laizhou with his entire army.  That night.  Zhang Jun called the generals and commanders at all levels to the big account.  A general has certain command authority over the military and horse headquarters.  The battalion command and compartment command are the settings of the commander's headquarters.  There are not many generals in the Forbidden Army, not because they are unwilling to do so, but because generals sometimes have to fight independently, and their ability requirements are very high.  Some generals also dare not fully trust their generals to follow their own rhythm of attack and retreat.  But general generals with strong abilities like to set up, and having a general's headquarters can be flexible.  Zhang Jun's headquarters has only one general named Wang Yan.  Historically, this man was an anti-golden hero stationed in the Taihang Mountains of Malaysia. He founded the Eight-Character Army and had hundreds of thousands of people under his command.  Looking at history, there were many righteous soldiers in the Song Dynasty. Zongze actually gathered two million troops that year, and was called Grandpa Zong by the Jin people.  Of course, because he didn¡¯t know how to manage money, Grandpa Zong forgot about the daily expenses of two million people, and lacked strong support from the court, so he couldn¡¯t support such a large family business. Not to mention Zongze¡¯s time, even now he has to support it.  An army of two million is also very difficult.  Unless civil servants take a pay cut.  Wang Yan¡¯s five thousand men will serve as the vanguard and attack Laizhou City after marching for a day and night.  According to Zhang Jun, there are docks in Laizhou City, and after all, there are city walls. If the troops are dispersed everywhere, they can only be defeated individually.  But there are also negative effects. The enemy can concentrate heavy artillery attacks.  For this reason, Wang Yan asked for a battle himself. After capturing Laizhou, he dispersed his headquarters and used dead soldiers to attack the enemy's heavy artillery, food and grass logistics.  Zhang Jun is willing, this can greatly relieve the pressure of defending the city.  After all, the Liao Kingdom was not a pure cold weapon army like Xixia.  Since the advent of heavy artillery, the city walls have become weaker and weaker.  Part of the Hangzhou fleet carries the Forbidden Army, and the other part will provide maritime fire support inside and outside the city.  When necessary, you can log in to assist in defense.  Although the ship's cannon is limited, it can be regarded as a way to boost morale.  During the Northern Song Dynasty, the Forbidden Army was the absolute main force, but in the Southern Song Dynasty, the Zhang Jiajun, Yue Jiajun and other warlord-like armies became the main force.  That night, Xue Bing led his own guards to attack the 300 Liao people who were following the army, and captured them in one fell swoop without losing any soldiers.  At dawn, when the camp was lighted, Zhang Jun waved the flag and announced the true purpose of the trip.  Fifteen thousand soldiers are not afraid, well fear is useless.  The collective response was to go out to Laizhou.  The vanguard army had already set out in the middle of the night. In addition to a knife, each person only carried three days of rations and eight hand cannons.  Wang Yan broke the cauldron and sank the boat. He did not go to Laizhou for three days. The whole army would rather starve to death.
