    Chapter 245 Surprise Attack Ouyang in Tokyo was worried about the life and death of those flat-bottomed merchant ships.  Not only because these people were instigated by themselves, but also because the safety of these ships is related to the outcome of the battle and the life and death of the 30,000 people ahead.  The arrow is on the string, it has to be.  Tong Guan, who was in charge of the middle road, was unaware of these problems. When the appointed time came, the Northwest Military Road and Yongxing Military Road moved slowly towards the Dihe River.  It would take less than half a month for them to reveal their intention to start a war, because in the strategic arrangement, Laizhou needs to attract enough attention from the southern army so that they can move covertly and quickly.  Waiting is painful. Zhao Yu thinks that Ouyang is a heartless person. Although he asked Ouyang not to leave Tokyo for the time being, Ouyang is too relaxed. He travels around, visits friends in the business association, and is interested in holding meetings with local businesses.  , held a symposium on the spirit of promoting rising land prices in Tokyo.  In Yangping Baiyun District, only houses and land use rights are sold, but in Tokyo, land is sold.  How does land become valuable?  Then we must build on the land suitable for humanistic life and create a comfortable living environment.  If everyone helps with the hype and spreads rumors, Tokyo will have more officials, richer people, and stronger purchasing power, so land prices will naturally go up.  However, when Ouyang was relaxed, he unexpectedly discovered that Zhao Yu had gone to Guangde Palace.  Ouyang came over after hearing the news. He also lived in Guangde Palace.  Ouyang knew that Zhao Yu did not believe in Buddhism. The fact that she came here showed that she was really unsure and lacked confidence.  To Ouyang's dissatisfaction, he caught a Taoist priest on the way and inquired and learned that Wang Wenqing asked Zhao Yu to burn incense and bathe in silence for three days in accordance with the rules to show his sincerity.  If this had happened in Yangping, Wang Wenqing would probably have gone to jail.  It's nonsense. The current situation is so unclear. As an emperor, I am in the mood to waste three days here.  But when Ouyang arrived, he could no longer see Zhao Yu.  The guard at the door was sorry and said to Ouyang: "Your Majesty has ordered that no one be disturbed for three days. If you have any important matters, you can ask Prime Minister Li to deal with it." Ouyang asked: "I wonder if I rush in, will you kill me?  " Nei Wei hurriedly said: "Of course not, but Mr. Ou will not embarrass the brothers, right? " Ouyang asked: "Who suggested that the emperor come?" After thinking about it, Nei Wei said: "It seems to be Li Xiang.  "Come on." "Li Gang?" Ouyang was shocked. Li Gang couldn't be that idiot.  "No, it's Li Bangyan, Prime Minister Li." Huh?  This guy can't be that idiotic.  Ouyang suddenly remembered the batch of supplies, and an idea flashed. Could it be that Li Bangyan was responsible for that?  Could he still do bad things?  The motive was definitely there. The emperor trusted Li Gang and basically ignored the two right ministers.  Moreover, Li Gang and Li Bangyan have long become political enemies.  Li Gang's two demotions were both related to Li Bangyan's behind-the-scenes instructions and false accusations.  This kind of villain may not be able to do something.  Ouyang said: "I have something important to see the emperor." Nei Wei shook his head: "Master Ou really wants to force his way in, and we can only use force. We will not be able to explain to your majesty after we hurt him, so please don't embarrass us, sir.  " "Alas" Ouyang could only sigh and leave.  ¡­ ¡­ When Taixuzi heard that the emperor was encouraged by Li Bangyan to practice in seclusion, he jumped up: ¡°There must be a conspiracy.¡± ¡°What conspiracy?¡± Ouyang asked.  "It's too simple." Taixuzi said: "The emperor ordered General Li Gang to send everything to the Political Affairs Hall. If it was sent to the emperor, who would dare to do anything from the eunuchs to the imperial guards to the internal guards? But the Political Affairs Hall  It's different. There are many people and things to do, and Mr. Li has to deal with a lot of official documents. If there are one or two important documents, the emperor will immediately find trouble for Mr. Li as soon as he comes out. For example, take the military road boy in Yongxing.  If Guan suddenly needs to change his strategy, he must send the official document to Beijing for review. Without the emperor's approval, the established plan cannot be changed. It may take a month to find out that the official document has not been delivered. This is a delay.  Fighter." Ouyang shook his head: "It may not be such a coincidence." Tai Xuzi said: "It's not such a coincidence, but Li Bangyan is not a magician." "" Ouyang  Taking a breath of air, he asked: "You know the filial son who was hanged, right? His relatives seem to be arriving in the next two days." "You mean someone incited his relatives to cause trouble?" "Think about it, after all, he is in the Li Mansion.  Hanged outside the door. There are already various discussions among the people. If there is such a commotion, some bad guys will be distracted from handling this matter. For example, an official document may be issued in the name of Prime Minister Li.  The supplies were not in place, so the Northwest Military Road and the Yongxing Military Road were not allowed to attack. Afterwards, Prime Minister Li could not tell the truth, and the matter was so serious that it would be difficult for the people to get angry without killing Li Gang. "Taixuzi wondered: "Will anyone take it?  Are you kidding me about the lives of 30,000 soldiers?¡± ¡°Zamao, you are staying in the Kingdom of Jin.¡±The people below are relatively united.  If you look at history, you will see how many people have ignored national interests in order to frame political opponents.  "Ouyang knows about Yue Fei from afar. Although Yue Fei is a bit self-respecting, who doesn't know what trouble Yue Fei will be without. Qin Hui also used his reputation as an anti-corruption pioneer to defeat a bunch of political opponents.  There is also the art of concealment that has been learned in political struggles in the Tang Dynasty. Tai Xuzi also understood that Li Gang and Li Bangyan could only exist together. Their ideas and personalities were very different. Li Bangyan had always been very hostile to his political opponents.  For example, Wang Fu, who was very popular during the reign of Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, was at odds with Li Bangyan. In order to directly attach himself to Cai Jing, Li Bangyan secretly colluded with Cai Jing's eldest son Cai You and Liang Shicheng, causing Wang Fu to lose his official position.  He was demoted to a commoner. Therefore, Li Bangyan was always second only to Cai Jing in Song Huizong's group, because such a ruthless person was still relatively rare among Song officials. Although Wang Fu hated him deeply, he still hated him.  I don't dare to offend him. Now Zhao Yu is a wise man, and Zhao Yu trusts Li Gang. Sooner or later, Li Gang will deal with officials like him, so it is very possible for Tai Xuzi to take advantage of him.  A group of officials who were pulled down by Li Bangyan nodded and said: "This person was originally the first minister of Cai Jinghou. I didn't expect Mr. Li to suddenly take the position. He must be very dissatisfied."  However we don't have the right to enter or leave the political hall, so we can't guard against it at all.  " A servant came in: "It would be great if Mr. Ou is here. The uncle of the filial son who died a few days ago carried the coffin of the filial son from the Yi Zhuang to the door and asked the master to give them an explanation.  " "Have you notified Prime Minister Li?  " "The master has told me that he will handle this matter personally, so he has sent someone to invite it.  " Tai Xuzi said to Ouyang: "It seems that someone is going to cause trouble.  what to do?  How about you go see the emperor secretly?  " "Damn, such a bad idea.  What if the emperor is taking a bath?  Even if not, sue me for blasphemy in the future, causing God xx to go berserk, and I will be left unprepared.  Ouyang said angrily: "You will sacrifice me to fulfill your master. Your wages are mine. Don't forget."  " Taixuzi smiled apologetically: "What should we do?  " "You go out first." Ouyang asked the servant to leave and think about it before whispering: "Since he can frame him, let's frame him too.  I wonder if there are any official documents written by Li Bangyan?  " "Of course there is, I'll ask someone to find it for you.  " Ouyang smiled and said: "However, you have to run an errand for me after the matter is completed.  ¡± ¡­ While Li Gang was communicating with his filial uncle, more than twenty forbidden troops entered the political hall. The leader was Zhang Xuanming, who had been unknown for a long time. There were also two internal guards sent by Ouchi. Why were there internal guards?  Ouyang borrowed two people to do business, and Ouchi would still give him face. There were many people in Zhengshi Hall. When everyone saw such a battle, Zhang Xuanming, the team leader, knew that someone was going to be unlucky. Wang Min and Li Bangyan were in charge.  The Vice Minister naturally came out to greet him. Zhang Xuanming did not enter the room, but took out a letter and asked, "Whose private seal is this?"  " Li Bangyan took a breath and looked at Wang Min without answering. An internal guard shouted: "Whose private seal is it?  Is it from your political affairs hall?  " Li Bangyan said dissatisfied: "You six-, seventh-, and low-grade people actually dare to break into the political hall privately.  Is your attitude still so arrogant?  Who is in charge?  " Zhang Xuanming ignored him, pointed at the officials watching the excitement and said, "Come here and see if it is the private seal and handwriting of someone in your political affairs hall?  " One of the accused officials did not have the courage of Li Bangyan. He walked over, took a look and said: "This is the private seal of Prime Minister Li, and the words on it seem to be 70% to 80% similar.  " Zhang Xuanming nodded and shouted: "Li Bangyan has evidence of collaborating with the enemy. Someone come and capture it for me and wait for the emperor's judgment.  " "False accusation, when will I, Li Bangyan, collaborate with the enemy?  " "Prime Minister Li, I am a sixth-rank official. If there is no evidence, do you dare to take Prime Minister Li?  Zhang Xuanming pointed at the person who had just recognized the handwriting and private seal and said: "Unless he is lying?"  "The official said hurriedly: "At a glance, it seems that there are only four or five images.  " "Forty percent or 50%. Didn't you just say 70% or 80%?  Zhang Xuanming said coldly: "You should make it clear."  You're not the only one here who can recognize it.  " "Eighty percent, at least eighty percent.  "The official replied hurriedly. Zhang Xuanming nodded and said: "I, a junior official, do not dare to embarrass Prime Minister Li. However, in order to avoid anyone collaborating with the enemy, Prime Minister Li will stay with me in the Privy Council for a few days.  "Li Xiang, please" "What is unfounded? Unfounded means that there may be something, maybe not. Since there is suspicion, isolation is normal. Li Bangyan wondered who wanted to frame him? It was impossible for Li Gang. Li Bangyan knew his opponent, Li Gang  He is an upright gentleman, but it is impossible not to leave now. Li Bangyan snorted in dissatisfaction.?, throw up your sleeves and leave.  Zhang Xuanming ordered: "You will accompany General Internal Guard to check whether Prime Minister Li has any suspicious official letters." "Yes" Li Bangyan was detained. Although there was a Gyeonggi Proof of Sentence in the afternoon, the handwriting on the letter was forged.  It was not written by Li Bangyan, but Zhang Xuanming still detained Li Bangyan.  Ouyang's temporary counterfeit letter still couldn't stand the test.  There is no result here, but there is good news over there at Zhengshitang.  After Li Gang heard about this and returned to the political hall, he could not find the seal.  Finally found in Li Bangyan's room.  The ancient office was a bit like today's companies. Managers have their own offices and employees use open offices.  The room is only separated by a screen, and there are many gaps where you can see the movements of people in the room.  When he questioned Li Bangyan, Li Bangyan said that he had been framed. He said that someone framed Xiangyin and put him in his room.  Zhang Xuanming also interrogated the provider of the fake letter, a servant of Li Gang's house.  The servant said that someone took advantage of the chaos in front of the door and stuffed it into his waist.  He didn't dare to make the decision, so he went to find Ouyang who was a guest at Li Gang's house.  Ouyang then contacted Zhang Xuanming.  There are many witnesses for the servant. Several servants discovered that there was a letter on the servant's waist.  Moreover, this family is illiterate, so it is impossible for them to have the means to copy.  Of course Zhang Xuanming guessed that Ouyang might have done it, but he did not dare to accuse him without evidence.  So the letter became a mystery.  When Zhao Yu came out of seclusion and heard about such a thing, he knew that he had something to do with Ouyang.  However, Zhao Yu was not a fool. Although he came here and was detained for three days because of a fever, he also regretted it very much during that period.  Naturally, I would also wonder why Li Bangyan did this.  Zhao Yu didn't know that Li Gang and Li Bangyan were not on the same page, but this was the art of balancing.  If Li Gang did something bad, Li Bangyan would definitely report it.  And if Li Bangyan did bad things, Li Gang would not let him go.  If the prime ministers all vented their anger through the same nostril, Zhao Yu would be worried that they would deceive others.  Apparently Zhao Yu thought Ouyang's views on Li Bangyan were too extreme.  Ouyang actually did not insist on his own ideas. He was not sure whether Li Bangyan would delay the national military operation because he wanted to kill Li Gang. Everything was just speculation.  But Ouyang insisted that what he did was right, and said righteously: Li Bangyan must be framed.  Zhao Yu couldn't do anything about Ouyang and waved Ouyang back to Yangping and not to interfere in the court affairs.  In the end, Li Bangyan became an idler because he could not prove that he did not have the moving seal and could not rule out suspicion.  The official rank is still the first rank.  Ouyang was also responsible for instigating the relationship between Jin and Liao. Since he had an agreement with Taixuzi, Taixuzi had no choice but to take Ouyang's famous assassin and find Han Shizhong.  With Tai Xuzi as a magic stick, Ouyang believed that there was a possibility of a fight between Jin and Liao.  Almost at the same time, Laizhou City experienced a war.  Wang Yan led 5,000 people to Laizhou in a hurry.  After nightfall, they used the clothes of hundreds of Liao people who were killed to trick them into opening the city gate.  Five thousand forbidden troops were divided into three teams to conduct a city-wide raid.  The Liao people did not expect that the Song people would rebel, let alone that the Song people would come so quickly, without any preparations, and their own military was weak.  All the eight thousand Liao troops stationed inside and outside the city blew up their camps and fled towards Jinzhou.  Wang Yan killed them all the way until noon the next day. After Wang Yan ransacked a county, he broke into pieces and divided the team into five. Each of them was entrenched and hidden in the mountains, isolated villages and other places where they were originally planned to be stationed.  Wang Yan and Zhang Jun calculated that the Liao people would think that they were all sticking to Laizhou City.  On the third day, Zhang Jun's main force entered the empty city of Laizhou. While setting up defenses, he sent out scouts to search for the Liao army.  At noon on the fourth day, the Hangzhou fleet arrived in Laizhou and unloaded 20,000 imperial troops. Zhang Jun ordered these people to repair near the dock for two days before being incorporated into the battle team.  The empty ship Hangzhou fleet returned to Dengzhou base to replenish and transport supplies.  Another thirty warships will assist in the defense of Laizhou.  So Laizhou became a key point to contain the Liao people.  If we don't work together from all sides, we won't be able to win Laizhou at all.  If all four sides join forces, it will be equivalent to letting the Northwestern Road and Yongxing Road advance in two directions.  If ignored, the Hebei East Road Forbidden Army in Dengzhou will continue to replenish troops and supplies to Laizhou by sea.  Once it grows stronger, it can directly take Linhuang Mansion.  Laizhou is surrounded by mountains to the east and the sea to the north.  Only the south and west can be marched.  The first Liao army of 5,000 men arrived first, but the general leading this army was brave, but not very wise.  They actually chose to station themselves ten miles north of Laizhou and wait for reinforcements.  The Hangzhou fleet had already understood the local hydrology, forced it into the beach, and carried out a violent bombardment.  The density of the ship's guns is quite high, with twenty incendiary cannons on one side and five ships lined up, firing a hundred cannonballs at a time.  The Hangzhou fleet also bullied the incompetent Khitans and even deployed two rows of ships to bombard the Liao army.  You must know that in such a formation, if the enemy attacks, they will not be able to turn around quickly. They can burn these ten ships with a few rockets that are not close or far away.  It's a pity that all the Liao troops ran away.  After this battle, no one in the Liao army dared to approach the north.  The remaining gates that can be attacked are the south and west gates.  However, the Song people also overestimated the war coordination capabilities of the Khitan troops. It was not until seven days later that 60,000 Liao troops were gathered nearby and stationed in two camps.    The time gained was five days longer than expected, which allowed the seasick Imperial Army to recover. The most important thing was to wait for the supplies delivered by the caravan.  Maybe it's the effect of Zhao Yu's worship to God, or maybe it's good luck. The wind in the Bohai Sea has been very light recently, and the waves are no more than three meters high.  Zhang Jun and others burst into tears when they saw this batch of weapons.  Looking at the weapon list again makes me even more happy.  There are 20 heavy cannons inside that are exploding projectile cannons that are being tested, followed by more than 200 manufactured cannonballs.  After the cannonball hits the ground, it will explode again at regular intervals. The iron sheets inside and outside the cannonball will be blown into pieces, killing the enemy.  After actual combat, the effect of solid heavy artillery is far inferior to that of burning heavy artillery.  But the incendiary heavy artillery has a relatively short range.  The emergence of blooming bombs made up for this shortcoming.  But what made Zhang Jun collapse was that this firecracker was indeed a product under testing. In the first round of test firing, two cannons were canceled, killing one person and injuring three others.  Little did he know that these were the goods of the Tokyo Manufacturing Bureau, and the inventory had long been shipped to the Liangjun Road or to Dengzhou.  But the power did give Zhang Jun some comfort.  The gunnersthe regular ones called thunderbolt gunners have also learned to be clever. They will run away as soon as the fuse is touched, for fear that something bad will happen to them.  In addition to cannons, there are also about ten guns, which are the ¡®rocket guns¡¯ that Ouyang asked Tong Guan to purchase.  Zhang Jun is quite satisfied with this thing. Its lethality at close range is quite large and accurate.  Yangping military rations are the same as Yangping military weapons. They are unpalatable, but they are edible.  Prices have risen and procurement fees have been fixed. The quality of this military ration is even worse than the first batch of military rations produced.  Zhang Jun was quite satisfied with his inspection of the city, and his morale was relatively high.  Firstly, it was because of the help of the big guy like Hangzhou Fleet.  Secondly, it is because insurance protects you from worries.  But Zhang Jun didn't understand, why not get some defensive weapons-landmines?
