Physician of the Song Dynasty: Zhang Kai and Li Qingzhao have a private life-long contract

In the vast sea, the waves are rough.

A huge Shenzhou is riding the wind and waves, galloping away to the north, followed closely by thousands of ships, and the momentum is extremely magnificent.

On the bow of the Shenzhou, Tong Guan stood facing the wind, feeling extremely proud.

Tong Guan was very proud of his voyage to Nanyang this time. With such a huge fleet, all the countries in Nanyang were frightened wherever they went, and they all greeted the King of the Song Dynasty respectfully. This made Tong Guan receive great courtesy.

What Tong Guan didn't expect was that the land of Nanyang was so rich in products, with countless rare treasures, and the people were not civilized. They only needed to exchange for a large amount of treasures at a small price. Every ship of the caravan on this trip was Received a generous reward.

Moreover, Tong Guan also obtained nautical charts from the countries in the South China Sea and knew that there were many countries in the West that were more prosperous and more prosperous. Unfortunately, most of the goods on the accompanying merchant ships had been sold out. In addition, nearly a year had passed and everyone was homesick. Tong Guan regretfully ordered the return voyage. If he wanted to sail to the Western Ocean, he might have to wait until the next time he goes to sea.

"Come here, where is the fleet now?" Tong Guan asked.

"I am reporting to my father-in-law, the Shenzhou fleet has crossed the Yangtze River and will arrive in Dengzhou in the near future!" An accompanying eunuch looked at the chart and reported.

"Call the ships to move forward at full speed and reach Dengzhou as soon as possible!"

After crossing the Yangtze River, it was not far from Dengzhou. Tong Guan felt like returning home and immediately gave the order.

Then the Shenzhou flag was raised, and all the fleets immediately took orders, raised their full sails, and headed towards Dengzhou quickly driven by the strong sea wind.

After several days of sailing, Dengzhou Port was soon in sight.

"Shenzhou returns from Nanyang!"

There was a sudden sensation in the entire Dengzhou Port. Today's Dengzhou Port has changed drastically. Quanzhou, as the northern starting point of the Maritime Silk Road, has ushered in a short-term prosperity. In addition, everyone knows that the Nanyang fleet is coming. People from all over the world have Merchants gathered here, ready to enjoy this super wealth feast.

"The official decree orders Eunuch Tong to lead a thousand ships to the Bohai Sea to intimidate Nanjing of the Liao Kingdom!"

However, just as the fleet was about to dock, a ship carrying a messenger from the imperial court boarded the Shenzhou, completely disrupting the plan.

"What, you want us to continue heading north to threaten Nanjing of the Liao Kingdom?" Tong Guan couldn't help but be shocked and looked at the decree in his hand in disbelief.

The messenger solemnly said: "Now the Liao and Xia countries are jointly sending troops to the Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty is in danger, and among all the armies, only the naval army has the potential to win. Fan Taicheng came up with an evil plan and let the navy threaten Nanjing, Zhongjing, and Shangjing of the Liao Kingdom. ! To frighten the Liao Kingdom."

Tong Guan's face suddenly became solemn and he said: "Please go back and report to the officials. If the Liao Kingdom dares to send troops to the Song Dynasty, the three capitals of the Liao Kingdom will never have peace in the future!"

After the messenger retreated, Tong Guan said with a solemn face: "I ordered the ships to stop docking at Dengzhou Port and turn around to threaten Nanjing of the Liao Kingdom."

Soon, the ships received the order, and they not only ignored it, but immediately followed the order. Now that Tong Guan is out at sea, the ships are making a lot of money. If they offend Tong Guan, they may completely cut off their wealth, let alone the country. If you try to escape, even domestic business will be greatly affected.

At that moment, all the ships turned around and headed towards Nanjing of the Liao Kingdom, leaving only the merchants on the shore of Quanzhou to watch and sigh.

After a day and night of sailing from Dengzhou to Nanjing in the Liao Kingdom, densely packed ships stopped at the mouth of the Haihe River, which immediately shocked the entire Nanjing Road.

"What, the Song Navy navy appeared off the coast of Nanjing?"

When Liao Emperor Yelu Hongji got the news about Tong Guan's fleet, he couldn't help but feel suddenly.

The Liao Kingdom was famous for its cavalry and archery. On land, the Liao Army considered itself invincible. Although he knew that the time had not come to destroy the Song Dynasty in this battle, he would never retreat if the Song Dynasty did not pay the price.

Of course, if there was a chance, he didn't mind Song. However, he didn't expect that Song not only had a tough attitude and refused Liao's conditions, but also sent a navy to threaten Liao.

"How dare a small navy threaten the Liao Kingdom?" Yelu Yanxi snorted angrily.

Yelu Yanxi had already studied the military strength of the Song Dynasty. The strongest in the Song Dynasty was the infantry, followed by the cavalry. As for the navy, it was not a concern at all. He did not believe that the unknown navy could threaten the Liao Kingdom.

"To report to the great grandson of the emperor, the Song army has stationed thousands of ships outside the Haihe River, and the number of troops is probably tens of thousands." The official who came to report said with a bitter look on his face. When he saw the Song fleet stopped with his own eyes, Outside the Song Dynasty, people were also horrified.

"Thousands of ships!"

"Tens of thousands of troops!"

The grandfather and grandson were shocked and exclaimed.

In the Liao Kingdom's intelligence on the Song Dynasty, there were not so many naval forces at all. Could this be the Song Dynasty's secret weapon specially used to deal with the Liao Kingdom?

"Your Majesty, I don't dare to lie to you. Thousands of ships are now outside the outlet of Haihe River. Your Majesty can witness it with your own eyes." The official said with a shocked face.

At that moment, Yelu Hongji could no longer sit still. Regardless of his old age, he immediately rode towards the seaside.

Nanjing of the Liao Kingdom was not far from the seaside. When Yelu Hongji galloped up his horse, he soon reached the Bohai Sea. He saw a dense fleet on the sea parked outside the Haihe River, and his eyes widened.

"When did the Song Dynasty form such a huge fleet?" Yelu Hongji said in disbelief.

Yelu Yanxi, who followed closely, was also shocked. With so many warships, only tens of thousands of men and horses were already few. Even if each ship had a hundred men, that would still be a hundred thousand soldiers. This was enough to turn the tide of the war. the power of.

"If it's not what my granddaughter expected, these fleets should be the fleets of the Maritime Silk Road of the Song Dynasty." Suddenly Yelu Nanyin's voice sounded behind him.

She had just returned from the Western Regions. When she heard that the Liao-Song Dynasty was about to fight, she immediately rushed back. She happened to meet Yelu Hongji heading to the Bohai Sea, so she followed him.

When she saw the merchant ships on the Maritime Silk Road, she couldn't help but be shocked. She controlled the Silk Road and made millions of dollars every year.

However, the land Silk Road required camel caravan transportation, and the carrying capacity was very small. On the Maritime Silk Road, one ship was almost equivalent to several large caravans, and there were thousands of such ships in the Song Dynasty. What a scale this was. caravan?

"The Maritime Silk Road fleet?" Yelu Hongji breathed a sigh of relief.

"They are just a group of merchant ships. The Song Dynasty actually dared to scare us, the Liao Kingdom." Yelu Yanxi said with a worried look on his face.

Just now, he was almost shocked by these thousands of ships, and now he was not only a little unhappy.

Yelu Nanyin shook his head and said: "Brother, don't underestimate the caravan. Sometimes the caravan is no worse than the soldiers. My sister runs the Silk Road, but she knows a lot about the Silk Road caravan in the Western Regions. If the Silk Road caravan does not have a strong Force cannot protect one's property at all. Sometimes, when a powerful caravan encounters a small caravan, it will transform into a bandit and plunder them all."

The Silk Road on land is like this, and the Silk Road on sea is probably no exception. Without powerful force, such a huge fleet and so much wealth may just become someone else's wedding dress.

Yelu Yanxi's face darkened. In this way, these merchant ships all have good combat effectiveness.

"And today these fleets may be filled with ship merchants, but someday they may be full of soldiers. Moreover, these fleets are elusive on the sea, and the Liao Kingdom has no navy to control them. Today, the Song Dynasty can intimidate Nanjing, and if it goes north, it can threaten Zhongjing and Tokyo! Yelu Nanyin frowned.
