Chapter 294 The big ship goes to sea

In June of the fourth year of Zhenghe in the Song Dynasty, the water was swimming in Liangshan, the flags were fluttering, and the drums and horns were sounding.

Liangshan horses, Bu and Shui battalions are full of troops and horses. The people are cheering and the horses are shouting. The soldiers are majestic and arrogant, which is intimidating.

Hundreds of ships crowded the Golden Beach Pier.

Under the urging of the commanders of each battalion, all Liangshan soldiers, armed with swords and weapons, boarded the ship.

In the morning, Zhang Zhengdao gave an order, and the Liangshan soldiers who were already ready to go, brave and high-spirited, lined up in a long snake formation and stepped into the cabin one after another.

Once a sea-going ship was full, it sailed away from the Golden Beach and gave way to the dock. Then another sea-going ship docked and continued to load soldiers.

From morning to noon, only half of the soldiers boarded the ship.

"Master of the village, why not let Brother Ruan Xiao go ahead!" Fang Xuedu said.

Zhang Zhengdao looked at the noisy golden beach, nodded and said: "Order the Pinghai Navy to go out to sea first and anchor at the entrance of the sea."

When they saw the leader of the village giving orders, they followed him personally and rushed to the high platform built nearby to pass down the general's orders.

On the high platform, I saw a big man holding two red and green flags, with bare arms, standing under the scorching sun, delivering the military order just now in the form of flag language.

But on the water, hundreds of ships were lined up, and they were the Pinghai Navy that had been plying the sea for a long time.

Ruan Xiaoer stood on the deck of a seagoing ship and was looking at Liangshan Dazhai.

Suddenly I heard the "Tuotou" shouting from the top of the mast: "The leader of the village ordered the Pinghai navy to go out to sea and anchor at the place where it enters the sea!"

When Ruan Xiaoer heard the military order, he quickly ordered the sailors on his left and right, saying: "Send the order and go to sea!"

"Woo...Woo...Woo..."

When the Pinghai navy saw the main ship moving, they followed it in turn and entered the sea along the Beiqing River.

Zhang Zhengdao saw that Pinghai's army was moving and ordered: "Urge all battalions to speed up!"

Fang Xuedu said: "I will arrange it myself."

Seeing that there was still time, Zhang Zhengdao returned to the back mountain alone to say goodbye to his wives and children.

I don’t know when I will be able to return with a great victory from this expedition to Goryeo. In order to prevent the mountain stronghold from being empty and being conquered by the army after the Liangshan army went out, Zhang Zhengdao also left enough soldiers and horses to stay in the stronghold to guard it!

Even in the back mountain, there is also a team of elite soldiers stationed to guard the family members of the village owner.

Entering the courtyard, not only were all the girls gathered, but Mrs. Yu and Mrs. Jia were also among them.

"Dalang, when you go to Goryeo, you must be careful in everything you do. Mom is at home and chanting sutras every day to bless you for your safe return!" Mrs. Yu held Zhang Zhengdao's hand and said affectionately.

"Husband, even though a good man has his ambitions in all directions and is a slave at home, I still recite sutras with my mother every day to bless my husband and be safe!" Wu Yueniang said.

"I wish you, officials, that you will be victorious in every battle when you go to Goryeo!" Mrs. Lin reluctantly left.

Mrs. Wei laughed in a low voice and said: "I heard that the Gaoli girl is the most well-behaved. Officials should not be too happy to miss Shu!"

Some time ago, Zhang Zhengdao broke into the Forbidden Palace at night and leaked the news about Mrs. Wei to Wei Xiurong.

After returning to Liangshan, Zhang Zhengdao spiced up the originally ordinary night visit to the harem and told a story with bizarre twists and turns. Mrs. Wei screamed in surprise and fell in love with the husband she chose for several days.

Let him fool around.

Zhang Zhengdao looked around at the girls and saw that they all looked worried, so he smiled and said: "It's not about separation between life and death, don't make it so sad."

"Goryeo is just a small country with not many troops and horses. After Goryeo is completely defeated, I will send a sea ship to pick you up." Zhang Zhengdao smiled and said: "In the future, you will no longer have to sleep in this water, but you can walk openly and openly.

On the street."

Zhang Zhengdao casually pulled Meng Yulou to his side, kissed him, and then kissed Pan Jinlian, Jia and others in turn. Then, with the reluctance of the girls, he left the back mountain and rushed to the golden beach.

It was already evening when we boarded the ship of the Treading Waves Navy.

Eight hundred miles away, there is still a hustle and bustle.

Zhang Zhengdao stood on the bow of the ship with his hands behind his back, feeling filled with pride in his heart. He looked at the village leaders surrounding him and said loudly: "Go to sea!"

The sound of the horn echoed over the water and spread far and wide.

Zhu Fu, who was sitting in the city of Jeju far away, inquiring about the news, heard the sound of the horn, got up and went to the front of the door, facing the direction of the water pool, and said silently in his heart: "On my trip to Liangshan, I will definitely conquer Korea. I hope my brothers are safe and sound."
The governor of Jeju had long heard the trumpet sound from Shuibo Liangshan and thought that this group of puddle bandits wanted to attack the state capital. He urgently ordered the sergeants to close the city gates and not allow anyone on the streets. They all rushed home.

In the middle, only the Forbidden Army and the Xiang Army were left in the city to patrol continuously to prevent bandits from attacking the city.

However, it was said that hundreds of ships from Liangshan went straight down the Beiqing River, passing through Qingzhou, Dengzhou and other places along the way, but no one dared to stop them.

The fleet went to sea smoothly and formed a super fleet with the Pinghai Navy. Along the coastline, it headed steadily towards Jeju Island.

The hydrological information on this route has long been mastered by the Liangshan navy. They know exactly where there are reefs, where there are whirlpools, when to sail and when to anchor.

Without complete assurance, Zhang Zhengdao would not make a desperate move and drag the elite soldiers from Liangshan Mountain to the land of Goryeo to start a battle.

After all, this is a war to destroy the country. If Goryeo cannot be captured quickly and falls into a stalemate, in the end, it will be Liangshan Dazhai that suffers.

One hundred thousand armored soldiers destroyed the country, those were the fierce Jurchens.

At present, Liangshan is afraid that even the imperial court's Western Army cannot resist it, let alone the Liao and Jurchens.

But Zhang Zhengdao was quite confident in bullying Goryeo Bangzi. After all, a few years ago, all the elite soldiers in Goryeo were lost to the Jurchens.

In Goryeo, it is difficult to raise an army of 100,000 at this moment.

If the King of Goryeo, Wang Ma, was ruthless, he could also mobilize an army of 200,000 in Goryeo.

It's just that they are so aggressive, I'm afraid that before Liangshan is defeated, the country will be full of war.

Zhang Zhengdao was in the cabin, thinking about the conquest of Goryeo, and suddenly remembered that it was in October of this year that Wanyan Aguda launched an army against the Liao Dynasty, kicking off the decades-long war between the Liao, Song, and Jin Dynasties.

Wanyan Aguda will defeat the Liao soldiers in Ningjiang Prefecture and Chuhedian in October with 2,500 people. In the following year, he established "Dajin", named it "Shu Guo", and established the capital.

Ning Mansion, plus the Great Sage Emperor.

On the other hand, we already have 100,000 elite armored soldiers. No matter how bad we are, we cannot fall behind the Jurchens.

Thinking of this, Zhang Zhengdao steeled himself and called Fang Xuedu, Qiao Daoqing, Fan Rui, Sun An and others into the cabin to discuss military affairs all night long.

The fleet sailed at sea for seven days before arriving at Jeju Island.

At this time, there were hundreds of thousands of people on Jeju Island, spread across the livable areas of the island, building county towns, and reclaiming wasteland for planting.

At the Shenzhen Port in the north of Jeju Island, Zhang Zhengdao stepped off the ship and set foot on the island for the first time.

"Welcome to the leader of the village!" Wen Huanzhang, the island guard, led all the officials of Jeju Island to wait at the pier for Zhang Zhengdao's arrival.
