"Dad, our official ship of the Great Song Dynasty has already met with the fleet of the Grand Duchy of Uzmo, according to the current speed, they will arrive at the dock of Lin'an Mansion tomorrow, and the person who reported to us also came back, saying that the mission had talked to their king about trade, but their king did not agree, but he did not directly refuse, because he said that since his son has arrived in our Great Song Dynasty, he will wait for his son to go back and ask about the situation!"
In the evening of the same day, Hu Mingyu came to Hu Zhizhong and said: "......
This is to be expected!
In other words, our next target is Mori?
If you get him done, then ......
Oh, by the way, you know how many ships they have gotten into the bet!
”Hu Zhizhong nodded and said: Indeed, the trade between the two countries is definitely not just talking, especially since these two countries have just established diplomatic relations, right?"
It's only 80 boats in total!
In other words, it is only 100 boats before it, if it is at this rate, plus the result of today's discussion between the little lord and Mo Li, that is, the blind chess will increase the bet of 400 boats of rice, it is estimated that by the time of the Dragon Flag Festival, Mo Li will not be able to make up the bet!
”Hu Mingyu frowned and said, "The little lord is really shrewd!"
If these bets can't be made, then at the time of this Dragon Flag Festival, wouldn't Mo Li Tuo be able to bet against the little lord!
In other words, this year's Dragon Flag Festival at least the Recruiting House will not worry about anything!
”Hu Zhizhong said: "That's what I said!
And we lost 10 million taels of silver today, although the loss is not very big for everyone to share equally, but ......
Dad, can you still draw with hand talks?
It can't be the little lord who did something!
”Hu Mingyu asked: "At first, my father did think so, but later I repeatedly deduced the chess games I got back, and I found that this situation can be called one in ten thousand, and it can only be said that the little lord is lucky, after all, even if he just wants to have such a situation, I'm afraid it will be difficult!"
After all, this is something that has never been done before!
”Hu Zhizhong said: "That's good, that's good, in fact, the child is afraid that the little lord will do it deliberately, if so, the little lord's chess strength will be too high, and then Mo Li Tu and the little lord had a dispute, they also made an appointment with blind chess, at that time, looking at Mo Li Tu's face and thick neck, the child thought that he would at least not be in the same league with the little lord, or that he should not be necessary!"
”Hu Mingyu said: "Well, there is no problem with this statement, especially after Mo Li Yan heard the rumors in the market, he went to find the little lord, how about it I warned you before, don't think that Mo Li Yan's chess strength is high enough, just think that he can defeat the little lord, the little lord that guy is unfathomable at any time, fortunately, Mo Li Yan did not lose, it doesn't matter if the official trade with the Grand Duchy of Uzmo is unsuccessful, as long as the mission comes back, he knows the specific location of this country, and tells Lord Liu, Let him talk to the shopkeeper and others, can they go to the local area to buy goods!
There is no problem for the Guogong Government to trade with the Grand Duchy of Uzmo, but if we pay a high price and buy back a large amount of rice milled rice in their country......"
Hu Zhizhong said: "Understood!
Son, do it!
”Hu Mingyu said......
"My lord......"
Late that night, a figure entered Harim's room and said, "Is Tuhetuo you?"
Call the young master!
”Harim said: "It's the young master!
”Tuheto said, "You're back?
Is the fleet of the Grand Duchy of Uzmo back?
”Harim asked, "They haven't yet, they need to come back tomorrow, I secretly disembarked after the fleet stopped tonight, and then hired a clipper to come back one step earlier!"
”Tuheto said: "Quick, tell me about the situation in the Grand Duchy of Uzmo!"
Especially how strong are their military?
”Xiao Liu asked on the side, "Yes!"
This Grand Duchy of Uzmo was built on a huge island in the sea, and the island was small and stood on a high place, very big, and the small one thought it was also a huge land, but the small one asked the people there, but the problem was that we couldn't understand what their people said, but fortunately, their people were not strict-mouthed, I asked a sergeant who was with us, and he said that they were either land or islands, but the island was very big, and if their fleet went around for a week, it would take a month!
Although I don't know if what he said is true or not, but the little one thinks it's about the same, and their royal city is on the edge of an area of the island, although there are no magnificent city walls, but the defense facilities there are very good, not to mention, the most important officers and soldiers are also very strong, and their armor and weapons are also very sharp!
”"So they are also a warlike people?"
”Harimu frowned and asked: Yes, you can see the gap between the national policy of the Great Song Dynasty and the Great Jin Kingdom from here, right, Hu Zhizhong is an important minister of the Great Song Dynasty, but he can be said to have not mentioned anything about the military strength of the Grand Duchy of Uzmo!
We didn't even ask him, as if that country had nothing to do with us, and it was so far away from us that it wasn't on a continent, right?
Even if their policy is to expand externally for our Great Song Dynasty, as long as you don't come to fight us, then there is no problem, if you come to fight us, even if we pay compensation or something, anyway, it is best to calm things down, if not, we will fight in the end!
Salute before you soldiers!
And what about Harim!
They didn't ask a word about trade, they just asked whether the country was strong, what was the scale, especially the so-called national policy, right?"
They are a warlike people, and they are also a people who live on the sea, not to mention how the troops on their island are fighting, after all, what we see is that the island is mountainous, and there are very few war horses, even if there is, the small ones think that they don't have much land to use, and they have a lot of donkeys, and the small ones think that their country is not in any danger, but when we return, or we don't want us to run in vain!
Two huge fleets, yes, each with more than a hundred ships!

And it was half an hour later that they returned to their station, when those fleets came back, the people on the island went to greet them, both young and old, and they all went to the dock to greet them, and then the young master guessed what the little one saw!
”Tuheto said, "Tell me, who knows what you see!"
I also learned to hang the young master's appetite!
”Xiaoliu said: "Hey, hey, hey!
Those fleets actually went to sea to plunder, and they plundered back a lot of people, because many people were very excited at that time, so I asked the sergeants who were with us, and he said that this is their habit, they have a total of 12 fleets overseas, each of which has more than 100 ships, and every time they go out to plunder, either the population or the goods, yes, the small ones see, when the two fleets come back one after another, one of them robs back the population, about 3,000 people, The other team snatched back the goods, but the details are not clear, because by that time we had already set sail and turned back!
”Tuheto said, "Shhh......
This is definitely a belligerent people!
And they actually have 12 fleets of more than 100 large ships plundering overseas?
”Harim gasped and asked, "Yes, he thought of a terrible question, that is, those pirates on the sea!"
Isn't it from this country?"
Listen to them say so!
But I don't know the specifics, but the small ones have two fleets, and when we went, there were so many ships on the dock that the small ones were almost dazzled!
”Tuheto said: "Then their ships are all big?
”Xiao Liu asked: "There are big and small, but the largest ship is not less than the largest ship in the Great Song Dynasty, and the tonnage of the small ship is not small, the scale is about half of the big ship!"
”Tuheto said: "......
Do you know how many people they have in a ship!
”Harim asked: "The young master I asked, a ship has a minimum of about 100 people, this is what the one said when he bragged to the little good sergeant, of course, he said an average!"
But he said that if it was going to be a landing operation, those big ships would carry at least 500 sergeants, which was still the carrying capacity of one ship!
In addition, after getting acquainted with him, he also asked him how many people there were in this Grand Duchy of Uzmo, and he said that he didn't know this, but he knew that there were at least ten cities of their royal size in the middle of that island!
And that's not the scariest thing!
He said that there were Janissaries in every city alone!
Although the small one doesn't know if what he said is true or not, the royal city by the sea, the small one will not have less than the total strength of the people, and there are also those fleets that may come back at any time!
”Tuheto said: "Yes!
You've done a good job, even if the sergeant has an element of bragging, but what you see shouldn't be fake!
Even if everything else is fake, if nothing else, just those two huge fleets, at least it's true!
And if a big ship goes out to war, more than 100 people are necessary, so look at it this way, the fleet plus the strength of the dynasty, the minimum is about people, and at the same time, you say that their armor is bright and their weapons are sharp, and since you can't see the head of the island from a high place, it can be said that its island is very large, just like the Wa Kingdom in the far north of us, how can this be compared?
”Harim asked: "I don't dare to say it, but it seems to be such a reason!"
They are all island countries......"
Tuhetuo nodded and said: Travels in the Southern Song Dynasty
