Not everyone can afford Wang Jinghui's land business, and there will be no more than ten in the Song Dynasty, but with this capital, it may not be able to play. Now it seems that Wang Jinghui and Xu's cooperation was the best move at the beginning. Xu's business advantage turned Wang Jinghui's creativity into money, and the two parties helped each other to get to where they are today.

In June of the sixth year of Xining, the Song Dynasty officially launched the personal income tax law, and the pilot areas were Jingji Road, Hebei Road, Liangzhe Road, and Huainan East and West Roads. Such a tax law was completely passed by the charm of Wang Anshi and Sima Guang. Currently, only these two people in the Song Dynasty had such personal charm. This was the first tax law specifically levied against the rich. Although this tax law attracted the rich, the Song Dynasty Shilin praised it very much. Wang Jinghui and other famous people from the Song Dynasty Shilin studied together in the mainstream newspapers of the Song Dynasty.

A large number of articles were published in the magazine, thinking that the new tax law was waving the flag and shouting. Although there were many unknown political contests, most of the scholars in this era had very simple thoughts, which was also attributed to the idea that the founders of the Song Dynasty wanted scholars and kings to share the Han Dynasty with the king. Although I don’t know if Emperor Taizu really planned to let scholars and their country together, the accumulation of hundreds of years of atmosphere made the intellectuals of the Song Dynasty have a thought of "taking the world as their own responsibility" - this is commonly known as "scholars who burned their brains."

"Yu Yan, have there been any changes in the port these days?!" Wang Jinghui asked lightly.

"Sir, the number of ships in Hangzhou's ports has decreased by 30% over the past few days compared to last month. Their destination is north, and the destination is not clear..." Yu Yan is Wang Jinghui's personal book boy. After Yansheng took over the Intelligence Bureau of the Song Dynasty, Wang Jinghui selected two of his second-generation disciples as his book boys. While helping him deal with some things, he also strengthened their training.

After hearing this, Wang Jinghui remained silent. Zhao Xu next to him asked: "Why are you so concerned about the movements of the port ships?"

"Nothing. It's just a calculation of the time when the Song Dynasty sent troops to Yan Yun!" Wang Jinghui said with a smile, touching Zhao Xu's head.

"What is the connection between Yanyun, the ships sent to the Great Song Dynasty, and the ships at the Hangzhou port?!"

"This is a tactic, but no one has used it before! I suggested to your father three years ago that the Privy Council began to prepare after the argument. Now the war in the Liao Kingdom is coming to an end, and the Mogus coalition is at the end of its strength. They are no match for the Khitans in the end. In this case, the Song Dynasty has achieved the strategic goal of weakening the Liao Kingdom, so it is natural to take action personally!" Wang Jinghui said with a smile.

Seeing the two children still confused, Wang Jinghui continued: "I was asking about the situation of the ships in the port of Hangzhou, which was to calculate the preparations for the cross-sea landing operation of the Song Dynasty. This tactical approach was to concentrate 100,000 soldiers of the Song Dynasty from Dengzhou Port on Jingdong East Road, our Dasong Dynasty, and land directly in Laizhou at the back of the Yanyun defense line of the Liao Kingdom through the sea ships. After occupying Laizhou, you can calmly choose whether to attack from the Yanyun defense line in the back direction or directly attack the Dading Prefecture of the Liao Kingdom. In this way, no matter what choice is made, it will greatly disrupt the mobilization of the Liao Kingdom's troops, and the price paid for the Song Dynasty to win will be smaller!"

"Sir, isn't this too risky?!" Yu Yan asked: "Which is certainly a combination of the "shock soldiers" in the military strategy, but 100,000 soldiers crossed the sea and went to the heart of Liao Kingdom, and no matter how much combat power they have after they get ashore, even the supply of defense is extremely difficult!"

Wang Jinghui nodded and smiled and said, "Good question! This is the weak link of the current cross-sea landing combat. Otherwise, this tactic has been prepared for three years since it was proposed, and the entire combat plan has been detailed. Some people from the Liao Dynasty came to the prefecture of the Great Song Dynasty. Many granaries have been built there, which are all prepared for our Song army. Moreover, according to the current situation, once the Song army landed, the direction of the troops is relatively abundant. As long as there is enough supply, you can choose to move towards the Dading Prefecture."

Just when the intellectuals of the Song Dynasty focused their attention on the implementation of the new tax law, on the evening of September 13, the sixth year of Xining, 50,000 Dingxi Army captured Yunneizhou, an important town of Xijing Road in Liao Dynasty, with lightning speed. Then, they headed towards the Datong Prefecture, the capital of Xijing Road in Xijing Road, Liao Dynasty, and the capital of Xijing Road, where they would gather 100,000 imperial guards from Taiyuan Prefecture on Hedong Road and attack Datong Prefecture, and completely included the Xijing Road in Liao Dynasty.

On the afternoon of the 13th, 50,000 cross-sea landing combat troops on Jingdong East Road of Dasong took 300 ships to sea, with their targets directed to the port of Laizhou. After a day of sailing, the fleet finally arrived at Laizhou Port late on the third night. The first to set foot on the port was the 3,000 special forces led by Wuxin, who came specifically to seize the beachhead.

When Wuxin stepped onto the port, there were no Khitan troops except those who came to pick him up. The situation of fierce fighting at the port as the General Staff of the Song Dynasty did not occur. The members of the special forces quickly unloaded all the materials on the ship to the port. In order not to disturb the Khitans, they just controlled the port firmly with the help of Xu and did not attack Laizhou City three miles away.

The entire landing process went very smoothly. Before dawn, a total of 40,000 Song troops and the equipment they carried were assembled at the port. After the water fleet dropped the landing troops, it immediately began to return to the Song Dynasty in an orderly manner, preparing to receive the next batch of combat troops and supplies - the sea route from Dengzhou Port of the Great Song Dynasty to Laizhou Port, the Great Song Navy has surveyed many times, and the help of the Xu family in Laizhou made the Song Dynasty very familiar with this route.

According to the combat plan formulated in advance, a total of two groups of 90,000 people will be implemented in this cross-sea landing operation plan. The second group is now halfway. However, depending on the success of the landing operation, the final amount of troops will be determined. According to the current progress, there are still 30,000 reserve troops that are likely to be invested in this battle.

The Song army was gathering tensely in Laizhou Port. The unintentional special forces and an army of about 10,000 people who had been repaired were ambushing outside Laizhou City. Their mission was to take down this city. Laizhou City had food for the cross-sea landing combat troops for about half a month, and there were also a large number of horses. These were prepared by the Xu family for the Song army. Although the number of war horses was only more than one thousand, it was really difficult for the Xu family to get so many war horses.

The Qi Mingxing in the sky was flashing in the cold wind. A torch suddenly appeared on the head of Laizhou City. After shaking up and down, left and right, the unintentional special forces immediately ran toward the city gate. After the torch was shaking, the suspension bridge of Laizhou City was slowly starting to lower it. This was after Xu bought the generals guarding the city, he sent his family generals to the south gate and quietly occupied the city gate. He lowered the suspension bridge and let the Song army enter the city.

When Wuxin walked through the city gate and ran quickly on the quiet streets of Laizhou with a steel knife, his heart finally breathed a sigh of relief - this plan was the most critical to how to capture Laizhou City. They rushed across the sea for a long distance, and the siege equipment could not be brought with them. It was already the limit to be able to carry a few small crossbows. If Xu could not take the city and let them enter the city, he would probably have to pay a certain price under Laizhou City.

Laizhou never experienced wars after peace in Liao and Song dynasties. A century of peace had made the rulers of Liao give up their interest in garrisoning here. There were less than a thousand old, weak and disabled troops in the city, and they usually maintained public order in the city and had no combat power at all.

After receiving instructions from the Song Dynasty Intelligence Bureau, Xu Rongting and his son began to use their forces in Laizhou to prepare for the arrival of the Song army. Originally, Xu Rongting was a little hesitant, but Wang Jinghui's handwritten messaging made him dispel the last trace of luck. Wang Jinghui clearly told Xu Rongting in the letter that the Song Dynasty had been ready to send troops to Yanyun. Even if the Liao Dynasty could not be destroyed, Laizhou would become a battlefield after the Song Dynasty. He had already prepared the manor fields for the Xu family in the Song Dynasty.

Xu Daochong also tried his best to persuade his father, and finally made the Xu family in Laizhou stand firmly on the side of the Song Dynasty. Xu Rongting already knew in his heart that the Liao Kingdom was definitely not the opponent of the Song Dynasty. He had also carefully investigated the war in the north. The information he obtained was extremely unfavorable to the Liao Kingdom. In addition, the continuous increase in taxes in the Liao Kingdom over the past year had endangered the interests of the Xu family. Instead of living in this country where hope had lost, it was better to go to the Song Dynasty to live a stable life. However, Xu Rongting felt a little sorry for his foundation in Laizhou for many years.

The entire battle went very smoothly, only a small-scale battle occurred in the North Gate. After a few people were damaged, the Song army finally controlled the four gates of Laizhou. When the large army began to enter the city, the sky had already begun to brighten. Some of the rich Khitan families in Laizhou still had sporadic resistance, but as the Song army closed the city gate and began to attack unscrupulously, these resistances were quickly disintegrated.

"Mr. Xu, I am really grateful to have been able to occupy Laizhou so smoothly this time! My son-in-law asked me to say hello to you!" Wu Xin came to Xu Rongting's manor. Without Xu Rongting's help, it would be impossible for the Song army to occupy Laizhou so smoothly. The entire battle only cost more than a dozen people were killed or injured, so it would be quite cost-effective to be able to exchange for such a city.

"General, you are polite. What's the point of being a little bit!" Xu Rongting said with a smile. Now the Xu family has started to clean up and down, and this place must not be left. Even if others don't know that Xu helped the Song army take Laizhou, this place will soon become a battlefield. A gentleman does not stand up a dangerous wall. Although he is reluctant to leave, he and his family must leave here.

"Come!" After Wu Xin finished speaking, a side general stepped forward and took a small iron box and handed it to Wu Xin.

Wuxin opened the iron box and said to Xu Rongting: "This was what the prince-consort told me to submit to Mr. Chuzhou and Hangzhou. There are 200 hectares of fertile land in Chuzhou and Hangzhou, and there are good manors everywhere. There are more than a dozen commercial real estate in two places. The prince-consort said: 'Mr. Xu's family sacrificed a lot for the Song Dynasty. Although these were pre-proven conditions, it caused Mr. Xu's family to move to the Song Dynasty and his family to move to the Song Dynasty. He felt very dissatisfied. In addition, he offered 500 taels of gold to the Song Dynasty Xingguo Bank as the settlement fee!' Please accept these with a smile!"

After seeing these priceless bills, Xu Rongting felt somewhat at ease. In fact, he has made no less profit when working for Wang Jinghui in the past few years. Think about it a few years ago, the Xu family was just a relatively wealthy merchant in Laizhou. In less than ten years, he was able to be a name among the rich families in the entire Liao Kingdom. He did not take advantage of the young man. Even if the other party gave him nothing, it would be no problem to be a rich man in the Song Dynasty based on his accumulation over the past few years.

After Xu Rongting took the small iron box from Wuxin's hand, he smiled and said, "The prince-in-law is really a kind and righteous person. When I arrive in the Song Dynasty, I will come to thank you in person!"

Wuxin smiled and said, "Mr. Xu, you are welcome. The court will not forget that you can do so many things for the Song Dynasty. When Mr. return to the Song Dynasty, my Emperor of Song Dynasty will have another reward! I wonder how my family is doing. There are special boats waiting for Mr. Wang at the port outside the city. If it is done, please get on the boat immediately!"

After settling down the Xu family, Wuxin was about to take the Xu family to continue to arrange the next battle, Xu Daochong chased after him and shouted Wuxin, saying, "General, I have a reluctant request, and I will ask the general to respond!"

Wuxin replied with a smile: "Brother Xu is someone he once praised. As long as he can do it, he will definitely do it for Brother Xu!"

Six years ago, when Xu Daochong secretly went to the Song Dynasty on behalf of his family to meet Wang Jinghui, he once met Wu Xin. He knew that the Song army general in front of him was just a book boy next to Xiao Wang's son-in-law back then. He didn't expect that the other party's identity has changed so much to this day, which made him sigh a little.

"The prince consort is awarded. I want to ask the general to ask the general is a small village town of Hejiaji 50 miles east of Laizhou. Our Xu family also has merchants there. Our Xu family's caravan has more than 400 large cars. If it weren't for their return from Tokyo Road, we would have arranged this caravan in Laizhou. If the generals can use it, just take it. However, this caravan has been working in our Xu family for many years. If possible, please take more care of the generals. It is best to bring them back to the Song Dynasty!" Xu Daochong knew that the other party's military situation was urgent, so he stopped talking about the matter and told him directly.

Wuxin thought about it and said, "This carriage is something we urgently need, and we also need a large number of civilians to carry supplies. We can use this caravan just so that they can follow us. I will definitely bring them back to the Song Dynasty, but I don't know them..."

"General, please rest assured. This caravan travels between Laizhou and Tokyo Road all year round. There are naturally many robbers when they encounter long journeys. This caravan may not be comparable to the soldiers under the general, but there is no problem in dealing with a small number of robbers. They will never miss the general's major affairs!" Xu Daochong said with a smile.

"Okay! Brother Xu, please don't worry, I will be concerned about this matter!" Wuxin replied, and after that, he got off the Xu family.

When more than 100 people from the Xu family came to the port with their luggage, they saw dozens of large Song Dynasty ships moored in the port. The Xu family took both sea and land, and naturally they were familiar with this large ship built by the Song Dynasty. Seeing the busy Song army soldiers in the port, the Xu family felt a different feeling. They were about to leave this place where they had lived for hundreds of years, and they felt a little sad.

"Youyuan, how do the Song army treat the people in the city?" Xu Rongting looked at the Song army who was carrying boxes on the ship and asked his son casually. He was not unfamiliar with the boxes that the Song army was carrying on the ship. The patterns on the boxes were Khitan style. From this we can see that these boxes were the spoils of the Song army.

"The Song army has strict military discipline. As long as they do not resist, they will never be attacked. However, after entering the city, the Song army was counterattacked by some Khitan families. The Song army generals have issued an order to search all the property of the Khitan families in the city. These are probably the spoils to be transported back to the Song Dynasty!" Xu Daochong naturally knew what his father wanted to ask, so he answered truthfully.

Xu Rongting nodded silently. Xu Daochong continued in his eyes: "Now the Song army has strictly guarded the city and port of Laizhou, and everyone can only enter and not exit, so now other places should not know that the Song army has occupied Laizhou. Looking at the Song army's appearance, there are probably a large number of soldiers who will be transported from the sea. It seems that the Song Dynasty is really going to take serious action against the Liao Kingdom!"

"The Song Dynasty has been thinking for so long and has to endure it until today. This momentum will naturally not be small. Originally, when Mogus invaded the south, the Song Dynasty would probably come over, but he did not expect that when both the Khitans and the Bu people were about to be exhausted, the Song Dynasty took action and unexpectedly captured Laizhou from the sea. Such a plan is really terrible!" Xu Rongting said in a low voice.

"The power of the Song Dynasty is booming. After the destruction of Western Xia, it has already shown its power to unify the world. It's ridiculous that the Khitan court still had fantasies about the Song Dynasty. The young man that my father met in Dading Mansion two years ago was also a disciple of Xiao Wang's prince consort. He was able to put such an important person around him in Dading Mansion. It can be seen that the Song Dynasty has a lot of plans, and the mere land of Yanyun may not be able to satisfy the Song Dynasty!" Xu Daochong has always been proud of the Han people, and his youthful spirit will naturally not speak in a low voice like his father.

"The Land of Yanyun may be enough for the Song Dynasty, but it may not be able to satisfy that person! You far away, it is impossible for us to return to Laizhou in a few years. No one is more familiar with this Tokyo Road than our Xu family. I guess that when we return to the Song Dynasty, that person will come to us!" Xu Rongting said with a smile.
