Chapter 1476 Let's work quietly, let's do it first (first update)
Chapter 1485

Seeing that both Zongze and Zhong Shidao were listening patiently, Ma Kui felt that there was something interesting, and after saying this, he quickly took out the detailed sea chart from his arms and spread it out on the table. Quickly, a carrot-thick finger poked on the map.

"Hey, isn't this Juehua Island?" Zong Ze only glanced at it before calling out the name of the island.

"Your Majesty Zong is indeed insightful. That's right. This is Juehua Island. It is located on the southeast coast of the Zhongjing Road in Beiliao, about [-] miles away from the land. Now, the North Sea Navy of the Great Song Dynasty has taken over the Liao Kingdom's navy. It has already been wiped out in the land of Chenzhou."

"The rest of the navy of the Liao Kingdom would only dare to hide in Chenzhou Port to survive, but the Liaohai Sea has already become a place where our North Sea Navy of the Great Song Dynasty can roam freely."

"And this Juehua Island has now become an isolated island suspended overseas on Tokyo Road in Beiliao. This island is not big, but it is not small. Moreover, Mohekou in the north of the island is a good natural harbor. There are low mountains on the island. One is only tens of feet high, and it also has a water source."

"If my Great Song Dynasty can take this island, first, it can serve as the base for my Great Song Dynasty's Beihai Navy; secondly, it will be convenient for monitoring the movements of the Northern Liao Dynasty along the coast of the Liaohai Sea; thirdly, if in the future, my Great Song Dynasty wants to Conquer the Northern Liao Dynasty, then this Juehua Island can become the fortress of our Song Dynasty troops."

Listening to Ma Kui's endless words, Zhong Shidao and Na Zongze secretly exchanged a look. Although Ma Kui's words were a bit exaggerated, they had to admit that the Juehua Island they chose The location couldn't be better.

"My lords, I, Wanhong Trading Company, currently have shops on Najuehua Island. I know everything about the island like the palm of my hand."

"Beiliao built an earthen city on the island, called Yanzhou. There are more than a thousand people in the Liao Kingdom, all of whom make a living by fishing. The original defenders on the island were only 200 people. The former guard of Yanzhou City, Li Yongkun, was Han. , the two hundred Liao troops under his command are also Han Chinese, and so are the fishermen.

Five years ago, after the former governor of Yanzhou was transferred, no Khitan nobleman was willing to take over the post of governor in Yanzhou, where there were only less than a thousand households and no money.

However, after the naval division of the Liao Kingdom was severely injured, the Liao Kingdom was worried that the island would be taken by our Song Dynasty, so they specially appointed a governor of Yanzhou, who was Yeluke from Khitan, and he came with the governor of Yeluke. , and [-] Khitan warriors from the Northern Liao Dynasty.

He also ordered the island residents to repair the earthen city, which caused complaints on the island.Even the guard general Li Yongkun was treated like a slave by the Liao general Xiao Kedan who led [-] Liao soldiers across the sea, and was ordered around..."

Listening to Na Wanbin talking about Juehua Island, he made it clear that it was not just the former defenders of Yanzhou City, but the fishermen and common people on Juehua Island. The domineering Khitan soldiers of the Liao Kingdom were extremely resentful and regarded them as enemies.

Ma Kui, who was on the side, nodded his head quickly, and said in a hurry.

"Treasurer Wan is right. When we passed by Juehua Island, we captured a fishing boat belonging to Juehua Island fishermen. We saw the whole family on the boat, so we realized that they felt that the Juehua Island was affected by those people. The newly arrived Khitan people are so oppressed that they can't survive, and they want to go to other places to make a living..."

Looking at the map and listening to the words of Wan Bin and Ma Kui, Zhong Shidao and Zong Ze couldn't help but feel a little moved.

"Juehua Island is indeed a good place. It is less than a hundred miles away from Zhongjing Road. If my Da Song stationed a small fleet here, I could have a panoramic view of the coast of Tokyo Road in Beiliao."

"In the north, you can go straight to the key point of Jinzhou along the Xiaoling River, but Qianzhou, which faces the sea in the south, will be shocked three times a day. The navy stationed in Beiliao is in Qianzhou. Now the navy is gone. Then, my Song Dynasty , it is necessary to strictly control the west of the Liaohai Sea, so as to prevent the people of the Northern Liao Dynasty from building a navy to plot against the Liaodong..."

"It would be great to take it. However, there is no formal declaration of war between the Song Dynasty and the Northern Liao Dynasty. If we start a provocation rashly..."

After Ma Kui glanced around ghostly, he lowered his voice and muttered in a low voice.

"It doesn't matter, if the soldiers of the Northern Liao Dynasty on Juehua Island killed the people of our Song Dynasty, or the warships on Juehua Island destroyed our boats and wounded our soldiers..."

"Nonsense!" Zhong Shidao couldn't help but suddenly changed his face, and slapped the table with his hand and shouted sharply. "If there is such a thing, then as the tigers of the Song Dynasty, we will naturally seek justice for our people of the Song Dynasty or our soldiers of the Song Dynasty. However, if you do anything wrong and are found out by this commander, then you should be careful about yourself head."

After throwing down such a sentence, Zhong Shidao rushed out of the room with a dark face, strode away, and scolded Ma Kui with a depressed face and rolled his eyes frequently.

"That kind of general is..." Wan Bin couldn't help but be a little confused. He obviously said it well, but why did General Zizhong suddenly become so hairy?

Zong Ze next to him stroked his long beard, squinted his eyes to see the figure of the teacher leaving in a hurry, and the corner of his mouth raised a strange arc.

Zong Ze, who was appointed by Wang Yang to cooperate with that kind of teacher's work, has dealt with Zhong Shidao for several years, so it's strange that he doesn't understand what it means at this moment.

"Come and sit down, you two, you are too reckless, how can you say that?" Zong Ze waved to Wan Bin and Ma Kui with a smile.

"Master Zong, what do you mean..." Ma Kui was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding what the old driver meant.On the contrary, Wan Bin narrowed his eyes and stroked his long beard, wondering what he was thinking.

"My Great Song's Tiger Ben, naturally wants to be the master of my Great Song's people. There is no doubt about this, don't you understand?" Zong Ze didn't expect Ma Kui to be a good fighter. But when it comes to emotional intelligence, it's a bit...

"Thank you, Mr. Zong, for your guidance. The villain understands. General Ma, let's go for a walk. Let's go out for a drink. If Wan wants to find you..."

"Eh? I, I haven't finished my words yet. Master Wan, you are..." Ma Kui glanced at Zong Ze who was smiling in the room with a confused face, and then at Wan Bin who kept winking at him. In the end, he had no choice but to leave with Wan Bin reluctantly.

"Seeing the general leaving and the lord Zong giving pointers in the house, does that mean to tell us that there is no need to speak too clearly?" After dragging Na Ma Kui out of the house, Wan Wan Only then did Bin lower his voice and confess to Na Ma Kui.

"You mean, Commander Zhong means let's do it quietly, and we'll talk about it first?" Ma Kui's eyes lit up immediately, and he said with all his might.

"Shhh, I said General Ma, can you keep your voice down..." Wan Bin really convinced the admiral of the navy, what the hell is he saying that this matter can only be done in secret, and what Zongze said? The less people know, the better. Why are you so loud?
Seeing Wan Bin glaring at him fiercely, Ma Kui, knowing that he had lost his composure, smiled sheepishly and slapped himself in the ear. "Blame me, blame me. Shopkeeper Wanda, don't be angry. Let's go. Hurry up. Let's go find a place to have a drink and discuss it slowly..."
