Chapter 246 Watertight Compartment(1/2)
"The identity is subtle, so I can only offend you. If you see Liu, you should show your true face to others!"
"I'm Liu Shaoling. Since you are here, please come in and talk!"
"This is disturbing," Li Yu bowed and then stepped forward.
In an instant, both of the subordinates yelled at the same time, "Young Master, no!"
This also confirms that the man was indeed Shaoling, the Qingyuan Army.
"What's wrong? The brothers in Liu's family guard the Qingyuan and protect the country and the people are great virtuous people. The queen is naturally also a loyal and good descendant. What's wrong?" Li Yu shook his sleeves and climbed up the steps. "You two can stay outside and wait for a while."
"What's wrong? You're visiting the door, and you're still afraid that the three of you will be afraid of them. Please leave. Please follow the servant to the study and sit down." Liu Shaoyun also shook his sleeves and drank everyone away, then made a gesture of inviting Li Yu.
At the same time, a thought arose in the minds of the two of them, "What a courageous person, he is a person who does big things!"
It is said that it is a study room, but there are not many books, but there are many swords and spears hanging on the wall. One of the narrow and slim Japanese swords is particularly eye-catching.
"The way of Kunyi is far from reaching the point of understanding. Who can be poor when cutting jade is passed down from generation to generation?
The treasure sword is close to Japan, and the Yue Jia got it from the east.
Fish skin is equipped with fragrant wood sheaths, yellow and white mixed croquettes and copper.
A hundred golds are introduced to the good deeds, and I admire you for being able to kill evil spirits."
Li Yu chanted casually, and this is the first eight lines of Ouyang Xiu's Japanese sword song.
In fact, he wanted to pull Qiu Jin's red-haired sword song, but he felt that the lyrics were too cliché, which was very unfavorable to his style.
"Cross half of it is not considered copying." While comforting himself, he found a chair to sit down.
The servants of Liuhou Mansion brought the Great Qinglong Tang. Liu Shaoyun waved his hand, and everyone standing beside him retreated.
When Li Yu saw this, he took off the scarf on his face.
When Liu Shaohui saw that he was still a half-aged child, he was obviously stunned.
Then he bowed and smiled, "Let Shaoling meet King Anding!"
"Hmm?!" Li Yu was stunned. How did the other party recognize him?
Then he smiled bitterly again. His expression fell into the other party's eyes, which was equivalent to confirming his identity.
"I have good eyesight after staying, and it's Li Yu."
"This is not a big vision. There are not many people in Jiangning City who have this ability. When they see this age, they will only have the king in the world."
"My misunderstandings in the queen's praise, I really can't afford to say a few wrong poems." Li Yubian humbled himself and silently prayed in his heart, "Ouyang Xiu, my buddy is humble. It's really not that you can't. If you can't, then I should be better than you."
He picked up the big Qinglong soup and took a sip. Liu Shaohui didn't say much, but just looked at Li Yu with a smile.
Li Yu also looked at him with a smile, and the atmosphere was a little bit given to him for a moment.
Still, Shao-Ying couldn't help it and said, "The king came here with his identity at night, but what can I do?"
"It seems that this is a straight man." Li Yu complained in his belly.
"I didn't dare to see the sect, but I heard that the Qingyuan Army and Erliu were great wise ministers, so I came to visit."
Li Yu said this very mysteriously. He first praised Liu Congyi and Liu Congyi's wishes, but also named them as virtuous "subjects". After all, these two people submitted their respects to Li Jing.
Liu Shaoyun didn't know what he meant, but it was not easy to fight back head-on. He just smiled and said, "It's because King Rao Anding came to visit at night."
The meaning of the words is also very clear. You have been here in the middle of the night, so don’t use the principles of the king and the ministers to explain it. Let’s talk about something practical, right?
From entering the door to now, I have read a few poems besides Li Yu. The conversation between the two only lasted three or four times, but there were countless wisdoms hidden in it, which made both sides secretly admire each other's worldly style.
"I'm here, just want to ask for advice on staying."
"I dare not ask for advice. If the king asks me, I will just say everything I know."
"Okay!" Li Yu slapped the table lightly, straightened his upper body, and stared at Liu Shaoling, saying, "Dare you ask Qing Yuanjun, where will he go?"
"This" Liu Shaohui was stunned, and then smiled and said, "The king is really telling a joke. Liu's family asks to guard the southeast for the saints, so naturally everything is to follow the saints and horses."
"Oh? What if the saints wanted to transfer a few people to Beijing to entrust state affairs?"
Liu Shaoyun's face changed color, but Li Yu could see that the fear was more than anger. "Don't panic after Liu. I'm just giving an example. The court does not have this intention at the moment!"
"really?"
"Of course it's true, there's really nothing right now." Li Yu looked at Liu Shaohuang meaningfully. "It's not to be hiding it. It's imperative for our Tang Dynasty to attack Chu. Ma Chu is now at the moment when the horses are fighting for trenches. When the army arrives, they will naturally plow the courtyard and sweep the caves, but what after that?"
"In addition, in the battle to destroy Fujian last year, the Fujian Kingdom was originally the world of Zhangwu, Qingyuan and Yong'an. The Tang Dynasty spent millions of money and grain and 100,000 soldiers. As a result, it only won the most barren Yong'an army. But then again, it was a good thing for me. After that, there were more dragons and phoenix groups in Jiangning City than before." Li Yu began to tell a cold joke.
This is a visible threat. As long as the destruction of Chu is successful, the subsequent military attacks of the Southern Tang Dynasty will mostly choose one between the Qingyuan Army and the Zhangwu Army occupied by Wu and Yue to attack.
The Wu Yue Kingdom behind the Zhangwu Army. Although the troops were weak, Fuzhou relied on the advantage of sneak attacks behind the scenes and defeated the tens of thousands of troops of the Southern Tang in one fell swoop, which was the biggest victory in the history of the Qian family. This battle also made the Southern Tang Dynasty feel a bit of a shadow on Wu Yue.
In addition, Wu and Yue have always been prosperous and can constantly transfusion blood to the Zhangwu army and provide various weapons, equipment, food and horse materials, so that the Zhangwu army can hold back the Southern Tang Dynasty.
Just as Li Jing did to the San Jiedu.
So according to Li Jing's personality of pinching soft persimmons, the next step after fighting Ma Chu is probably the Qingyuan Army, and Quanzhou and Mingzhou are both important ports.
Of course, it is not so convenient to fight. The route of the Southern Tang attack can only be through Jiangxi and heading south through northern Fujian. Two roads are not as good as Li Yu's previous life's high-speed rail connections. Eastern Jiangxi and northern Fujian are mountainous terrain. Although there are many convergences between them, the water flows are turbulent and cannot be released.
The army can only cross the mountains, which will drag down the marching rate and reduce the number of soldiers invested in the first wave of energy, and put greater pressure on logistics.
Therefore, the Southern Tang felt a bit useless to the Qingyuan Army. It was tasteless to eat, but it was a pity to abandon it. In addition, he was attacked by Wu Yue that day, losing tens of thousands of troops, and countless weapons, food and fodder. In addition, Liu Congxiao Liu Congyuan's brothers were smart and courageous, and seized the opportunity to directly cede land and become warlords, so there were two years of peace.
Today, the strength of the Southern Tang Dynasty has almost recovered. If he uses the power of defeating Ma Chu and then turns the gun to attack, Erliu will be confident that he can barely defend it. However, after this battle, I am afraid that the wealth that the Qingyuan Army has finally accumulated will be defeated.
Especially the most valuable strategic resource population! The number of households in the Southern Tang Dynasty is more than one million, while the Qingyuan Army has less than one hundred thousand.
Therefore, it was painful for the Southern Tang Dynasty to die, but it was acceptable, but for the purpose of staying, it was to destroy the country.
These thoughts instantly redirected in Liu Shaohuang's mind. They were all the clear cards on the table, and the comparison between the two sides was clear at a glance.
"The absolute quantity advantage is the quality advantage." Li Yu began to say a joke again. This is a famous saying by Lenin, the revolutionary mentor of his previous life. It seems appropriate to be stolen by him.
Although Liu Shaoling heard the words quantity advantage and quality advantage for the first time, after a little thought, he immediately understood the meaning of it.
However, the people in southern Fujian have always been fierce, and during this period of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the family members were really good to the people under their rule, which does not mean that they are good men and believers.
Liu Shaohuang's father Liu Congyuan was appointed as the governor of Nanzhou after killing his immediate superior. As for Liu Congxiao in Zhangzhou, he tried his best to retain his great foundation.
Liu Shaoqing was influenced by them, naturally, was not the fuel-saving lamp like Li Congshan. When he heard Li Yu's threat, he didn't take it seriously. He just smiled and said, "Respect and receive the teachings, and the king told him overnight. It's just that I, Liu's family, have always been loyal to the Tang Dynasty. Today's saints treat people even more kindly. We should not promote unknown soldiers and attack loyal and good ministers."
"If the saint really has this intention, then staying at home should be the emperor's decree." After saying that, he looked at Li Yu and sneered.
Liu Shaoyun also understood that although Li Yu's words were a real threat, the time was wrong. To talk about this secretly at night, it must have another purpose.
But he couldn't figure out what it was. In life, there were only wine, sex, money and energy. Qingyuanjun did not have good wine, which is known to everyone in the world.
As for wealth, this person's teahouse and Hongrong Saipai shop make money every day, and it is probably not enough to ask Qingyuanjun to extort money.
Qi is already a famous poet from all over the country. He has also created a new font, so that Yang Ningshi, the world's number one, respects him as his teacher. He looks good and is still a prince. Liu Shaoling really doesn't understand who else can give him anger?
As for sex, let alone Pan Lu Deng Xiaoxian, this person may be a little "small", but after all, he is only thirteen years old.
Since these are excluded, there is probably only the right. Liu Shaoyun probably said something alarmist first, and then took a picture of his chest and sold it. So he made it clear that if he was really anxious, then he would post a statement and make everything public.
"There is no oil and salt in it." Li Yu felt a little sweaty on his forehead.
If you just get left to Shaoling back like this, it would be too shameful.
Suddenly, when I thought of my second brother’s advice, I suddenly had some thoughts in my mind.
"I heard that Zhangzhou and Mingzhou are a good port in the world, and the good ships are well-known in the world."
"The king praised it, the blessings and the vast ships have their own advantages"
"In fact, I have long admired the reputation of the two governors. Today I came to make friends with you, but I was in a hurry and not ready."
Liu Shaoyu didn't say anything, just smiled.
Li Yu continued: "I am a bachelor of Chengxintang. However, I have always seen some drawings of sea ships in the collection of Chengxintang. The shape and structure are very ingenious, and it can greatly improve the ship's ability to resist wind and waves. I wonder if I will be interested in it after staying?"
Liu Shaohui was stunned at first and then laughed, "The king underestimated my shipbuilder in Quanzhou. Quanzhou has been a good harbor since the Han Dynasty. Shipbuilder passed it on from generation to generation, but I am afraid that the drawings in Chengxin Hall were still drawn by Quanzhou."
"Is that right?" Li Yu also smiled.
He was glad that he was lucky to be a time traveler. His second brother Li Hongmao was indeed a very smart person, but he could not escape the flaws of the times. Or the traditional Chinese thinking fell into the ancients inexplicably. He always felt that the ancients were better than the contemporarys. He might be able to be established in the philosophical and ideological system, but in natural science and engineering technology, future generations will always be better than those of the previous generations.
If you really follow Li Hongmao's idea and use the Tang Dynasty sea ship drawings hidden in Chengxintang as a tool to release goodwill, then Shao Ling's mockery just now will only eat all the words.
But although I am not a shipbuilding major now, I have visited many museums in my previous life and even visited several foreign antique sailboats. This knowledge is not good at building ships, but it should be enough to deceive the ancients.
"I would like to ask, how many can I come back for every ten boats in Quanzhou put out?"
"It depends on that if you take a coastal route to trade with the Khitan in the north, you can get back to seven out of ten points. If you go to Fusang or go to Southeast Asia, half of which you can get back will be blessed by Mazu."
"I have seen a roll of ancient drawings in Chengxin Hall, which is very clever and can make the safety of the ship better!"
"What? Please let the king know?! This move affects the lives of thousands of ships. The king said it to be the Buddhas of thousands of families!"
"What if I don't say it?" Li Yu sneered.
Since entering the door, we have been laughing at each other, but the confrontation has never stopped.
Although Li Yu wanted to recruit, or even form a temporary alliance, Liu Shaoyun was extremely cunning and repeatedly did not speak the truth.
"This" Liu Shaoyun also realized his abruptness when he heard Li Yu say this.
To be continued...
