The huge fleet of the Great Song Dynasty did not always stay on the coast of the Jurchens in the East China Sea, on the contrary, they were constantly transporting soldiers and supplies between the Wa Kingdom and the Jurchens, and the merchant ships of the Great Song Dynasty were recruited to be used as transport ships temporarily, so as to ensure that the Great Song could continuously send troops and materials to the Jurchens.

After that, the warships of the Great Song Dynasty completely gave up transportation, for this war, the mobilized merchant ships have fully met the needs of transportation, the sea ships of the Great Song Dynasty are not as simple as dozens of hundreds of ships, thanks to the trade between Zhao Zhen and the Abbasid Dynasty......

After decades of trade, the sea ships of the Great Song Dynasty have long been much more advanced, even if they start from Quanzhou and Mingzhou, they can reach the Arabian Peninsula thousands of miles away, not to mention from Dengzhou to the Wa Kingdom?

After so many years of operation, the number of sea ships in the Great Song Dynasty has already exceeded more than 2,000, and even some merchants have a fleet of dozens or even hundreds of ships, which can already catch up with the ordinary sailors of the Great Song Dynasty.

But they were cautious to abide by the laws of the Great Song Dynasty, once the bottom line was crossed, the fleet would never be able to pass through the blockade of the South China Sea countries, and the Great Song Dynasty had heavy troops stationed in the Strait of Malacca......

The merchants of this era are not as mercenary as later generations, nor will they do anything for profit, their sense of belonging and self-esteem are even far higher than the moral standards of later generations, and they disdain to do things that are free without prohibition by law.

Therefore, when Zhao Zhen issued an order to issue a war mobilization order to the merchants of the Great Song Dynasty through the Department of Commerce, he received almost a unanimous response from the merchants of the Great Song Dynasty.

The amount donated by the merchants alone has reached tens of millions, so much so that Zhao Zhen had to issue an edict strictly prohibiting officials and the imperial court from accepting donations from the merchants............

At the beginning, some people thought that these businessmen donated all their family property in order to get a wife and a son, what is this called, and what is the difference between spending money to buy an official? For Zhao Zhen, he didn't want to have such a convenient way of spending money to buy officials in the Great Song Dynasty.

But soon he found out that he was wrong, although these merchants did not make any excessive demands to the imperial court, but only hoped that the imperial court could treat him fairly and justly.

This situation is also inevitable, and it can even be said that Zhao Zhen caused it himself, Cai Ji is the first to bear the brunt, after Cai Ji, there is the queen's Bi Yaxuan, and there are more clan names and official business names.

And when this situation intensified, Zhao Zhen suddenly realized that he had forgotten the impact of the power effect, which was often beyond the control of the development of things themselves, and now the business of the Great Song Dynasty is like this.

All these businessmen hope for is a fair business environment, but it is difficult for Zhao Zhen to change this situation now. There are many reasons for this, and the change now is bound to touch the interests of the privileged class, and it is harmful and unhelpful to the Great Song Dynasty, which is in a state of war.

Now with the support of the merchants, it is much more convenient for the Great Song Dynasty to transport officers and soldiers, grain, grass, supplies, ordnance, etc. to the Jurchens, and logistics is still the top priority of a war, and the war machine of the Great Song Dynasty must rely on a solid logistics line to ensure his normal operation.

These merchant ships continued to travel back and forth between the Great Song Dynasty and the Wa Kingdom day and night, and now they once again took on the responsibility of the Great Song naval army and began to transport to the Jurchens, at first they were afraid that the Jurchens would attack the merchant ships, but soon found that this was simply impossible.

The Jurchens even go out to sea to fish boats are small sampans, not to mention large sea ships, as long as they dodge those pirates who fall into the sea for various reasons, and now the news of the Great Song Dynasty's recruitment of merchant ships has been released, once the pirates reach out to these merchant ships...... The consequences are unimaginable.

Who knows if the merchant ship in front of him is full of rich goods, if not the goods but the armor of the Great Song Dynasty? Wouldn't that be self-defeating?!

Therefore, the waters around the Great Song Dynasty were almost calm during this time, and the merchants of the Great Song Dynasty had no scruples about being at ease on the sea, and they no longer had to worry about the attacks of pirates, which was an unexpected harvest!

The merchant ships of the Great Song Dynasty replaced the warships of the naval army, but these warships did not stop, but were loaded with more than 30,000 Great Song soldiers all the way to the north, leading the team of newlyweds who were none other than Rat San and Duo Fidelity.

Duo Baozhen was completely disappointed in Wu Gu Nai after seeing his true face, the Jurchens' daring to love and hate made her relationship with Rat San very "harmonious", and she supported the Jurchens sent troops to the Great Song Dynasty.

Zhao Zhen once described a beautiful prospect to her, completely crushing a chaotic and broken Jurchen, recasting a complete Jurchen, and letting them live a happy life.

She saw this kind of peace with violence from the Great Song Dynasty, the Dali people were like this, they did not resist much after being annexed by the Great Song Dynasty, on the contrary, they lived better than before, and the party members were not to mention, they quickly integrated into the Great Song Dynasty, and became one with the Song people, and now compared to their life in Western Xia, I don't know how much better.

And Duo Fidelity hopes that the Jurchens can be like this, she has been in the Great Song Dynasty, she knows what the Great Song Dynasty is like, and she is not very exclusive to foreign races, and Duo Fidelity knows that this is Zhao Zhen's means to integrate foreign races into the Great Song Dynasty.

The fleet traveled along the river, and Duo Baozhen knew the land of the Jurchens very well, so she became the guide of the Great Song Dynasty fleet, entering from the mouth of the Mingtong River on the quilt, and along the Mingtong River, as long as she walked along this river, she would soon reach the Yazi River Yazi River.

The Duck River is a river that crosses the Jurchen land, with many branches, one of which is the Lishui that Shi Yuansun has just crossed, the waters of Liaodong are wide, and the water depth also meets the needs of the Great Song Dynasty ships, so this road is basically unimpeded.

It seems that God is also helping, the water level during this period is very high, and the warships of the Great Song Dynasty are unimpeded, but because they are going upstream, the time is delayed a little, but fortunately, there is a northwest wind to help, the ship borrows the wind, and the wind helps the ship to go, and it does not delay much time.

Duo Fidelity gently stroked the metallic cannon on the ship, it was hard to imagine that this cold cannon body would emit scorching flames, she had seen the power of this cannon as early as the sea, and the Great Song Navy must have a test cannon before going into battle.

To this day, Duo Fidelity still can't forget the shock of these ships' cannons, the deafening roar of the whistling sound, the destruction of the world by the blast of artillery, and the choking of the pervasive punishment......

"Is war really inevitable?"

Duo Fidelity, who was a little confused, turned her head to Rat San and asked, her mood at this moment could no longer be described as complicated.

Rat San nodded stiffly, he knew that Duobao was really worried, but he could only tell her: "The war has begun......"
