One Piece of Song Dynasty

After Li Xin left, everyone sat down and Wang Gui said, "Let's talk about what to do about this matter."

Zheng Bangjie sighed: "What else can we do? Since ancient times, the people have not fought with the officials. What's more, the court can't be regarded as robbery. As the fleet expands, we will definitely earn more, and the % taken by the court is not too much." If you can earn a good reputation, go back and inform other colleagues."

When Li Xin returned to the government office, he wrote to Wei Yuan and asked him to come to An as soon as possible. Li Xin planned to leave the task of conquering the pirates to him.

In the Pingjiang mansion camp, Yue Fei received the imperial edict and ordered people to bring the new recruits into the military camp. Li Ruoxu said: "With the new recruits, the general will have an army of under his command. It seems that the prince will soon This will complete the troops promised to the general."

Yue Fei nodded and said: "Yes, but training new recruits every day is quite boring. I really want to go to the battlefield and have a good fight with the Jinren with real swords and guns."

Li Ruoxu smiled and said: "It's useless for the general to be anxious. Didn't the prince make it clear when we met at the beginning? The Northern Expedition is a major event that affects the whole body. It requires the whole country to play chess. No one can act without permission. Now we can only Forbearance, wait for the country's strength to increase, I think the prince will take action in a few years."

Yue Fei said: "I don't know how Yun'er is doing. I haven't seen her since I left last time."

Li Ruoxu asked: "Isn't it said that Dalang was sent to study by the prince?"

Yue Fei nodded and said, "Yes, I heard what Madam said. The last time Yun'er came home from the prince, she packed some clothes and left. It's been almost a year since she left."

Li Ruoxu joked: "I don't know why the prince fell in love with Da Lang, but he actually betrothed his eldest daughter to him. The general is so lucky. By the way, the general obviously has a crush on the prince's eldest daughter."

Yue Fei shook his head and said, "Not yet. I've been in Pingjiang. How can I find the time to see her?"

Li Ruoxu changed the subject and said: "General, all the generals below are okay."

Yue Fei shook his head and said: "I'm almost sick. I have no use for my strength. I can't talk to them about important matters."

Li Ruoxu asked: "How is the general's research on Yan Yun?"

Yue Fei said: "I can only say that the task will be very arduous. Once we land, we must seize five passes as soon as possible before the enemy can react. They are Yuguan, Songtingguan, Gubeikou, Juyongguan, Zijingguan, Zhuozhou, Yizhou, The nine places of Jizhou, Jingzhou, Tanzhou, Shunzhou, Pingzhou, Luanzhou, Yingzhou and Yanjing City are our targets."

Li Ruoxu said thoughtfully: "It's okay to say that Yu Pass and Songting Pass are relatively close to the seaside, but the other three passes are relatively far away. Especially Zijin Pass is an important pass that blocks enemy reinforcements from the direction of Xijing."

Yue Fei nodded and said: "Yes, but I don't want to become a fat man in one bite. When I land, it must be at night. I can occupy the three passes of Yuguan, Songting Pass and Gubeikou overnight to block the direction of Liaoxi. I will be satisfied with the reinforcements. If I can avoid being discovered by the enemy on the second day, then I will wait until the night of the second day to seize the other two passes. If I are discovered, I can only forcefully march during the day to seize those two passes. It’s closed.”

Li Ruoxu said: "As long as we can seize these five passes, we can control the states in front of the mountain. The states behind the mountain can only be discussed later."

Yue Fei sighed: "I now understand why the prince attaches so much importance to ethnic relations. A hundred thousand troops spread over such a large area are simply not enough to guard the gates and the city. If we don't do a good job in ethnic relations, we will be in Yan." The cloud is untenable.”

While the two were talking, Wang Gui came over and said, "Brother, I just received a letter from home that the old lady is seriously ill."

Upon hearing this, Yue Fei hurriedly said: "Mr. Li, Wang Gui, I will leave the military matters to you first. Don't relax on the training."

Yue Fei hurried back to his home in Pingjiang Mansion. He hurriedly came to his mother's bed and saw Li Wa feeding his mother-in-law medicine. He quickly asked his mother why she was ill. Li Wa said that since her mother-in-law came to Jiangnan, she has never been able to adapt to the southern weather. When the mother-in-law saw that Yue Fei had returned and his illness seemed to be half recovered, she asked Li Wa to help him sit up: "Oh, the winter in the south is cold and wet. Water can sometimes squeeze out of the quilt, and I am getting older again."

Yue Fei immediately took off his cloak and covered his mother. He took the medicine bowl and tasted it himself, then knelt down and fed it to his mother.

The mother-in-law complained: "Yun'er has been gone for almost a year, and I don't know what's going on. You, the father, don't care."

Yue Fei said: "Mom, don't worry, Yun'er has been sent to study by the prince, and everything will be fine."

The mother-in-law sighed: "I know how old I am. I'm afraid my time is running out. If I can see Yun'er again before I leave, I'll be satisfied."

Yue Fei said strangely: "Mom, please stop talking nonsense, you will be fine."

Seeing that his mother was seriously ill, Yue Fei immediately wrote to Li Xin asking for leave to take care of his mother at home, and asked Li Xin to let Yue Yun come back to see his grandmother.

After receiving Yue Fei's memorial, Li Xin agreed to Yue Fei's request considering that there had been no war recently, and told Yue Fei that he would notify Yue Yun of his return soon.

After Wei Yuan arrived in Lin'an, Li Xin immediately summoned him: "Wei Yuan, I will give you a task. Based on your current seventy ships, you will transfer forty Gonggong II ships from Xinghan. The model and ten Dayu- warships form a -ship South China Sea Fleet stationed in Wanning City, Qiongzhou. Your task is to patrol the large sea area one hundred kilometers south from Zhejiang to Qiongzhou and sweep away All pirates in this area ensure the safety of merchant ships traveling in this area.”

Wei Yuan replied: "I obey the order."

Li Xin continued: "After you arrive in Xinghan, ask the shipyard to build another fifty Dayu Type and a hundred Gonggong Type II warships. I will also transfer more to you from the Water Ghost Team in Jeju. People, form another -strong water ghost team and deploy them to your fleet to cooperate with your actions to eliminate pirates."

Wei Yuan clasped his fists and said, "Don't worry, my lord, I will destroy all pirates and ensure the safety of all merchant ships."

At this time, a new place was built next to the Xinghan City Shipyard. Today is the official launching ceremony of this place. For this launching ceremony, Xinghan Establishment Envoy Li Miao, Xinghan Defense Envoy Ma Kuo, Liu Laohan, and Zhao Xi, Liang Peng, Wang Ding, Qin Ruijie, Feng Yu, Jiang Shan, and Peng Lei all came. Of course, in addition to these people who were the first to follow Li Xin into contact with new knowledge, the most important thing was Li Xin's sister Li Jing and his son. Li Zhongqing also came, and there were many students from Xinghan.

Li Miao said: "You don't have to do this little thing, Princess. Just leave it to the ministers."

Li Jing shook her head and said: "You don't understand. We have been fighting for it for several years. With it, our Han civilization will move to a new height. It is also a stepping stone to lead our Han nation to the industrial age, so today I I have to come and witness this moment in person, and I believe that if my brother can spare some time, he will definitely come.”
