Zhao Zhen had to take over Liaodong. The importance of the land of Liaodong to the Song Dynasty and the Liao Dynasty was something that everyone could see. This is an indisputable fact, but the most important thing was the treasures hidden under the land.

The Song Dynasty had a while before the food crisis, but the black soil in Liaodong was indeed something that the Han Dynasty could not help but sniff at. Anyway, the Han people were born with an almost crazy obsession with fertile soil.

Under the leadership of Pang Ji and Xia Shun, and under the cover of Bao Zheng, all court officials believed that this was a tentative attack launched by the officials on the Liao Dynasty, in order to observe where the Song army could reach the farthest, and the shortcomings of supply, logistics, reserved troops, etc.

Many people think that it is too many to use 400,000 people as a test, but this just reflects the seriousness of the Song Dynasty's attitude. Only when the number of people reaches the scale can we know the shortcomings. Otherwise, where can we find data to compare?

The voices of opposition in the court gradually decreased. Since even Pang Xianggong and Xia Ganzheng knew about it, what else can you object as an ordinary official? As long as the Song Dynasty did not follow the trend, spend some money, it would be considered as an exercise...

But they didn't know that on the sea, the Song Dynasty's fleet was plucking up sails and heading south. After bypassing Goryeo, they headed to the Da Song Dynasty's naval dock Shaman Island for supplies. The firearm battalion that had already been prepared here began to transport supplies and ammunition on the ship.

Due to its special status and sensitivity to the products produced, except for a soldier who developed and stationed in Beijing, all the others were moved to the small-scale Shamen Island.

This is an overseas island, which is best for preventing leaks. As for the prisoners who were originally exiled here, they were all escorted to Hainan Island. Zhao Zhen believes that criminals are also a kind of human resources and should not be wasted. You should know that these people are not all evil bad people.

Some of them can also turn back and have to be shore, of course they need waste... Make good use of it, as for how to use it? Labor reform is the best way. The land in the south is fertile and lacks strong labor, so these criminals were escorted to Hainan Island. The ones on the island are responsible for clearing land and growing grains, and the ones on the coast are drying salt... Of course, these outputs have nothing to do with them, and the court is only responsible for providing them with three meals a day...

Shaman Island is actually not just a lonely island, but there are many small islands around it, forming an archipelago with Changdao, Alashu Island, Mo Island, Daxi Island and Temple Island.

After so many years of operation, these archipelagos have now established a mutually connected wharf between them. All the original residents on the island have been assigned to military households. From then on, they have been people in the imperial army. They are extremely excited to eat imperial food.

What they have to do is to help the firearm battalion carry out some transportation work, and the most important thing they do is to help maintain the ship.

Of course, they can't go anywhere. Some places are still viewed from afar and not approached. If they get closer, someone will immediately arrest them and take them away. Anyway, they know that those who were taken away will never appear on the island again.

Cai Boqi looked at Shi San, then turned to look at Duo Feizhen and said, "Sister-in-law is a woman, how can she be suitable for the hard work of boats? If you don't dislike it, how about taking the arranged carriage to Beijing City? My princess has seen it with you for a long time. It's better to reminisce about it, don't be surprised..."

Duofeizhen nodded slightly. At this moment, her gentle appearance was exactly the same as that of the women of Dasong, but Shi San wanted to speak but stopped. Finally, he sighed helplessly. At this moment, he could feel that Duofeizhen's whole state was already wrong.

After all, it was the Song Dynasty invading the Jurchens. Even under the banner of being taller, invasion is invasion, and there is no way to defend this behavior. Especially for a party like Shu San, he always knew in his heart that the government's will surely win against Liaodong, and it was not the Jurchens who could control it.

In other words, even if the land is not owned by the Jurchens, even if the Liaodong occupied by the Liao people, as long as the officials want to attack them, they will send troops to attack.

Cai Boqi's arrival undoubtedly solved his crisis. Of course, he also came with the will of the official family. After the Song Dynasty's fleet attacked the Jurchens with pain, he walked all the way into the East China Sea and finally returned to Shamen Island.

During this period, I took a break for a while. Now I saw the people from the Firearms Camp bringing boxes of ammunition and supplies onto the boat, and I knew that I was going to go to sea again. However, this time it was not a beautiful beauty who accompanied me, but an old fried dough stick Cai Boyi...

"The official knows that doing this will make you feel a little embarrassed with Du Fei, but you should also know that things are not as simple as you think. This time I come, it means that the official has made a big move."

"For Shi Yuansun?"

Cai Boqi shook his head: "For the sake of Liaodong, you should also know the officials' concerns about Liaodong. The Jurchens occupied Liaodong and made the officials very angry. This time, there is only the power to expel the Jurchens."

Shu San's face changed: "Didn't he Chineseize the Jurchens like Dangxiang people? Why did he expel them... Where did he expel them?"

Cai Boqi smiled and said, "Can you go anywhere? It's either the Liao Dynasty or it's further north. Where can I go besides?"

Shit San no longer spoke. It seemed that what he said to Duofeizhen was about to break his promise again. The official did not want to accept the Jurchens at all. At most, he accepted a very small part, such as Duofeizhen Tang Kuo clan...

"Where is the imperial edict of the official family?"

Shi San, who had been silent for a long time, asked Cai Boqi that dispatching the entire naval army is of great importance, and there must be an emperor's imperial edict. Cai Boqi could not transfer the entire naval army away and requisition it.

Sure enough, Cai Boqi pulled out an imperial edict from his sleeve and handed it to Shi San: "Look at it yourself! Don't be shocked and dropped your chin...... This time you are the master and I am the deputy, and you have the final say in the navy. As for how to fight, you will obey you. I will only bear the responsibility of supervising the army."

Shi San nodded slightly, but when he unveiled the imperial edict and saw that the target location was actually the Suzhou Prefecture of the Liao Dynasty, he was shocked: "This... is this to... attack Liao?!"

Cai Boqi smiled bitterly and said, "Yes! The plan to surround Wei and save Zhao. The Liao people have sent troops from Liaoyang Prefecture to head north. They have arrived at Huanglong Prefecture, only one day away from Wanyan's tribe. This is to intimidate Shi Yuansun..."

"So the officials plan to attack the Liao Dynasty and force the Liao people to surrender the siege of Xie Shi Yuansun?"

Cai Boqi looked at the shocked look of Shi San, turned his head to look at Dahai and nodded slightly, "Yes! Even you are so shocked, let alone the Liao people. He would never have thought that the official move was to rescue Liaodong!"

Shi San nodded thoughtfully: "Yes! The official moves are always like antelope hanging on its horns, which is unpredictable..."
