Goryeo, outside the city of Kaijing, in a secluded manor.

The wooden door was gently pushed open, making two soft sounds, making Liu Xiaoyuan, who was meditating with his eyes closed, open his eyes.

There were two men in Confucian clothes standing at the door, one was old and had white hair, it was Lu Zhaoqi. The other person is a white-faced scholar, who is Liang Chongru.

Looking at these two, Liu Xiaoyuan smiled and said, "Taiwei Lu, Brother Yifu, please come in." I don't want to meet you in a foreign country, I wonder if you can be happy in Goryeo? ”

The two walked in, and there were no tables, chairs, or benches in the room, just a feast (just tatami mats and stuff). The two took off their shoes and sat down opposite Liu Xiaoyuan. Liang Chongru smiled and said: "Thanks to the care of Kim Xianggong of Goryeo, my husband and son-in-law are quite free in Goryeo. It's just that it can't be compared with Brother Mingjing! ”

Naturally, it can't be compared, Lu Zhaoqi and Liang Chongru are just guests of Kim In-jun in the Goryeo Sect. However, Liu Xiaoyuan was the envoy of Goryeo and the Wa State on behalf of the Great Mongolian State. It represents Kublai Khan, the Great Khan of Mongolia! Therefore, the manor where Yoo Hyo-won lives now is the property of the Goryeo royal family, and it can be regarded as a first-class luxury in Goryeo. As for the various other treatments provided to Liu Xiaoyuan by the Goryeo side, they all refer to Wang Shizi. even selected a few of the daughters of the Wang clan to send them to accompany them!

Liu Xiaoyuan smiled: "The Great Mongolia is the suzerain of Goryeo, and the monarchs and ministers of Goryeo naturally want to curry favor with me, the Mongolian appeasement." But now the most carefree person in the land of Goryeo is Chen Dexing! ”

The news of Tran Dek Heung's occupation of Jeju Island has reached Kaegyong. Needless to say, the city was shocked!

A large area of northern Goryeo has been occupied by the Mongols, and Goryeo Segyeong Pyongyang is under the sword of the Mongol army and can be captured at any time. If Jeju in the south is occupied by the Song military ministers. Goryeo is suffering from the enemy on its back, and I am afraid that the country will not be far away.

Regarding this Song Dynasty army under the banner of the Northern Expedition, the Goryeo side had two attitudes. The anti-Mongolian faction, with a part of the Sanbei military generals as the core, hoped to join forces with Chen Vameng and use Chen Dexing's force to recover the northern frontier of Goryeo. The pro-Mongol faction, led by the king of Goryeo, advocated asking for help from the Mongols.

However, Jin Renjun, who Lu Zhaoqi and Liang Chongru are attached to, did not publicly express his opinion. In the past few days, they have been asking the two of them about the strength of the Chen family army - Lu Zhaoqi and Liang Chongru can only tell the truth, after all, after killing Meng Ke Khan, the prestige of 8,000 or 100,000 has spread to Goryeo.

Listening to Liu Xiaoyuan's sour words, Lu Zhaoqi said in a deep voice: "Such a traitor will be ruined sooner or later!" Today's scenery is just a flash in the pan, what does Liu Zhaofu have to envy him? This Goryeo country is a vassal state of the Great Mongols after all! ”

Liang Chongru was on the side, and couldn't help nodding sadly: "Chen Dexing, the ambition of a thief and a wolf, if he succeeds in Goryeo, he will definitely plot against Liaotu and Yanjing, and if he succeeds, he will definitely go south to usurp the rebellion!" ”

For the Southern Dynasty, which had lost half of the northern wall, there was nothing more important to the prestige of the powerful ministers than overcoming the loss of land. During the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Huan Wen and Liu Yu, who wanted to usurp the country, both used the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains to establish prestige.

Now Chen Dexing is obviously taking such a route, but his Northern Expedition route is different, not from the land city to the city, but to take Goryeo as a springboard, and then enter Liaodong, and then take Yanjing. It looks a bit like the Japanese devil of the year! However, he is a Han man with a red root of Miao Zhenggen, and he is also the envoy of the Northern Land of the Great Song Dynasty, and the envoy of Haidong and Liaodong. Once Liaodong and Yanjing were captured, it would be easy to gain the allegiance of the Han Marquis of the Northland and the Great Song Domain, and it would be easy to go south to seize the throne - at least among the current civil and military courtiers of the Great Song Dynasty, this view is widely circulated.

"Brother Yifu thinks it's not good to replace Zhao with Chen?" Liu Xiaoyuan smiled and said, "If Chen Dexing succeeds in Yanyun, won't the northern land return to the hands of the Han people?" ”

Listening to Liu Xiaoyuan's questioning with a smile, Liang Chongru said in a deep voice: "I was born as a Song minister, and died as a Song ghost, and I will never be reluctant!" And what Chen Dexing did was to destroy my Chinese foundation! If it is allowed to happen, my Huaxia will exist in name only. The so-called restoration of the northern land is nothing more than turning the Mongolian Han Marquis into a feudal town of the five dynasties of the Tang Dynasty, turning the world of coexistence between the two dynasties of the north and the south into a hell where the seven heroes of the Warring States fought each other! It is to turn my gentle and elegant Chinese people into brave and ruthless beasts! It is called to drive out the Tartars, but it is actually the way for the whole country to enter Hu, and it is the way to destroy the country and the world! ”

Lu Zhaoqi was on the side, nodding sadly.

Liu Xiaoyuan smiled: "If the two families of Mongolia and Song join hands and pull the Goryeo people together, maybe they can get the life of this traitor, right?" ”

The voice was faint, but the two people at the table were so shocked that they couldn't speak!

Lu Zhaoqi and Liang Chongru just looked at Liu Xiaoyuan and said sneeringly: "Chen Dexing has tens of thousands of strong soldiers...... Even if there is a combination of the Great Mongolia and the Great Song Dynasty...... You may not be able to take Jeju Island, right? After all, this Jeju Island is an island, how can it be defeated without a naval army? It's just that how can the naval armies of the Great Song Dynasty and Mongolia defeat Chen Dexing's naval armies......"

Liu Xiaoyuan smiled and said softly: "To take the life of the thief Chen, you should use wisdom." ”

"Resourceful?" Liang Chongru's eyes widened, but Lu Zhaoqi had an expression of disbelief.

Liu Xiaoyuan's expression was very leisurely, and his eyes looked past them into the distance: "The wedding of Chen Dexing and Princess Shengguo always has to be handled well, right?" With such a great opportunity in front of us, can we just waste it? ”

The wedding of Chen Dexing and Princess Shengguo? Lu Zhaoqi and Liang Chongru just looked at each other, and they didn't understand what kind of trick Liu Xiaoyuan was going to use?

Liu Xiaoyuan looked at them and smiled faintly: "The two of you just need to act according to the plan below!" The day of Chen Thief's wedding is the time of his death! ”

……

The night gradually shrouded, and the torches burned high inside and outside the sandbar camp. The generals of the Chen family army were all neatly tied, holding weapons, and were heavily guarded inside and outside the barracks, lined up on the dock to greet each other. A scene of waiting for General Chen to return to the camp.

On the wharf, in addition to a few generals of the Chen family army who stayed on the sandbank, Monk Liu, Zhang Shijie, Zhu Sijiu, Kong Yu and others are Chen Dexing's mother-in-law Guo Fuer and Li Cuixian, Princess Baoyin, Wang Ronger and Yang Po'er. Oh, there is also a Cui Yue'er, who is also waiting by Li Cuixian, who is pregnant with Liujia, and it seems that she is also ready to follow Li Cuixian into Chen Dexing's room.

The long galleys were already on the dock at this time. Chen Dexing returned to the sandbank with five galleys, including the Haitian, which was equipped with six bronze cannons. However, these 6 bronze cannons are not the only six in the world.

Just when Chen Dexing was almost poking a hole in the sky outside, Qi Ta and his craftsmen, who stayed on the sandbank, had already cast another 12 bronze cannons that could be used - the yield of the cast cannons was not high, and it would be good if 2 of the 10 guns were usable, and the rest had to be returned to the furnace.

In addition to the cannons, the craftsmen of the Sandbank camp also built a gunboat that was sail-driven, the Thunderbolt, a four-masted galleon that cobbled together the slender hull of a Chinese hard sail and an oar. The load is more than 8,000 stones! Converted to metric tons, it is also close to 400 tons, which is not a displacement, but a deadweight ton, which is estimated to be between 1,000 and 1,200 tons if calculated in terms of displacement.

In addition to the 18 cannons on the deck, the ship also has a gun room inside the hull, which can also be equipped with 18 cannons. That is, the battleship could carry up to 36 guns! If Chen Dexing really had so many cannons available......

This kind of firepower was nothing in the era of sail battleships in later generations, but it is almost invincible in the present, and the only disadvantage is that the speed is a little slower.

"If you change to an Arab spinnaker, the speed of this ship can be improved." Chen Dexing, who stepped off the springboard, glanced at his new flagship and nodded with satisfaction.

The Arabian spinnaker is a soft sail, the sail area is larger than the Chinese hard sail, but it is easier to maneuver than the Western style sail, and the disadvantages are similar to the Chinese hard sail, and it is difficult to make the spinnaker very large due to the limitation of materials. On large sailboats, spinnakers are often just a supplement.

However, for sailboats under 1,000 tons, the layout of the spinnaker is still very practical.

……

"Mother, these days the child is wandering outside, but the mother is so tired that the mother is worried about the child."

Chen Dexing withdrew his gaze from the newly built warship, and saw his adoptive mother Guo Fu'er with full charm at a glance, with her hair combed obediently, faintly emei, light red lips, and a jade hairpin inserted in her bun, and her face was also very charming, obviously carefully dressed. It's just that this body has been slightly reduced, and Chen Dexing feels distressed for a while. When he went up, he bowed and saluted.

"What are you worried about? Wu'er has done a great job, and it's too late for my mother to like it. Guo Fu'er smiled, stretched out her snow-white jade hand to gently help Chen Dexing up, looked at Chen Dexing carefully with a pair of bright eyes, and then smiled lightly: "Wu'er is really a heroic man, even if the world can be it, it seems that there is a blessing for the mother." ”

When Chen Dexing heard this, he grinned and said: "This ......, this is still early, the child's career has just started, and it is still early from that day." ”

Guo Fu'er looked at Chen Dexing happily: "Sooner or later, there will always be that day!" The big officials in Lin'an have told me so, they must not be wrong! ”

"Oh, my mother has seen my uncle?" Chen Dexing was slightly stunned, he didn't expect his father to come to Shazhou.

Guo Fu'er said, "The big official is in Yangzhou, and he came with you Liao Shibo, and Ming'er should come to Shazhou to see you." ”

"Oh, he's just in time." Chen Dexing smiled, already understanding that his father and Liao Yingzhong were here for the affairs of the Pu family. He smiled, put his arm around Guo Fu'er, and beckoned to Li Cuixian and Baoyin: "Let's go, go home first, these days, I miss my mother's cooking a little bit." I must have a good meal today. ”R1152
