Chapter 1485

Seeing that Zong Ze and Zhong Shidao both looked very patient and listened, Ma Kui felt that there was a chance. After saying this, he quickly took out the detailed chart from his arms and spread it onto the table. Soon, his fingers as thick as carrots poked on the map.

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

"Master Zong really has a keen eye. Yes, this is Juehua Island, which is on the southeast coast of Zhongjing Road in Northern Liao, about eighty miles away from land. Now, the North Sea Navy of our Song Dynasty has wiped out the Liao navy in Chenzhou."

"The remaining few Liao navys dared to hide in Chenzhou Port and survive in vain. The Liao Sea has become a place where the North Sea Navy of the Song Dynasty is free to surround us."

"And this Juehua Island has now become an isolated island hanging overseas on the North Liaodongjing Road. This island is not big, but not small. Moreover, the northern entrance of this island is a natural harbor. There is a low mountain on the island, which is only a few dozen feet high and has a water source."

"If my Song Dynasty can take this island, one can be the base of the North Sea Navy of the Song Dynasty, the other can be convenient for monitoring the movements of the Northern Liao Dynasty along the coast of the Liao Sea. Third, if my Song Dynasty wants to conquer the Northern Liao Dynasty in the future, then this Juehua Island can become a fortress for the troops stationed in the Song Dynasty."

Listening to Ma Kui's endless words, Zhong Shidao and Zong Ze secretly exchanged a look. Although Ma Kui's words were a bit exaggerated, they had to admit that the location of Juehua Island they selected was so good that it could not be better.

"Two sirs, I, Wanhong Trading Company, currently also has shops on Najuehua Island. I know everything about the island."

"The Northern Liao built a Tucheng on the island, called Yanzhou. There were about a thousand people in the Liao Kingdom, all of whom made a living by fishing. It turned out that there were only two hundred defenders on the island. The former commander of Yanzhou City Li Yongkun was a Han Chinese, and the 200 Liao troops under his command were also Han Chinese, and those fishermen were also like this.

By five years ago, after the former governor of Yanzhou was transferred, no Khitan nobles were willing to take over the position of governor of Yanzhou, which had less than a thousand households and had no wealth.

However, after the Liao navy was severely injured, the Liao kingdom was worried that the island was taken by our Song Dynasty, so he specially appointed a governor of Yanzhou, who was a Khitanite Yelu Ke. He also came with this governor of Yelu Ke, and there were also 800 Khitan warriors from the Northern Liao Dynasty.

He also ordered the residents of the island to repair the city, which made the island complain. Even the guard Li Yongkun was regarded as a slave by Xiao Kedan, the Liao general who led 800 Liao soldiers across the sea, and called him around..."

Listening to Wan Bin telling the story of Juehua Island, he clearly stated that it was not only the former guards of Yanzhou City, but also the fishermen and people on Juehua Island. They were extremely angry at the Khitan soldiers of Liao Kingdom who came to the island for their mighty fortunes in recent months and regarded them as enemies.

Ma Kui, who was beside him, lit his head quickly and said quickly.

"Shopkeeper Wan is right. Before, when we passed by Najuhua Island, we captured a fishing boat from Juhua Island fishermen. When we saw that their family was on the boat, we realized that they felt that they could not survive because of the new Khitans on Juhua Island, and wanted to make a living elsewhere..."

Looking at the map and listening to the words of Wan Bin and Ma Kui, this made Zhong Shidao and Zong Ze feel a little moved.

"Juehua Island is indeed a good place, less than a hundred miles away from Zhongjing Road. If my Song Dynasty stationed a small fleet here, you can take a look at the coast of Tokyo Road in Northern Liao."

"You can go straight to the key places of Jinzhou along the Xiaoling River in the north, and Qianzhou, which is facing the sea in the south, will be shocked three times a day. The navy station of the Northern Liao Dynasty is in Qianzhou, and now the navy is gone. So, our Song Dynasty needs to strictly control the west side of the Liaohai Sea to prevent the Northern Liao people from building a navy again and plotting for Liaodong..."

"It's natural to take it. However, now, there has not been a formal declaration of war between the Song Dynasty and the Northern Liao Dynasty. If we rashly start the provocation..."

Ma Kui looked around with some admiration, then lowered his voice and muttered in a low voice.

"It's okay. If the Northern Liao soldiers on Juehua Island kill the lives of my Song people, or the warships on Juehua Island destroy my Song boats and hurt my Song soldiers..."

"Nonsense!" Zhong Shidao couldn't help but change his expression and slapped the table on the table and shouted sternly. "If there is indeed such a thing, then as the tiger bench in 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 something wrong and are found out by this commander, then you should be careful of your head."

After throwing this sentence, Master Zhong rushed out of the room with a dark face, strode away, scolding Ma Kui to his face and rolling his eyes frequently.

"That kind of general is..." Wan Bin couldn't help but feel a little confused. He was clearly saying it well, why did General Zizhong suddenly become furious?

Zong Ze next to him stroked his long beard, narrowed his eyes and looked at the figure of the master who was rushing away, and a strange curve appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Zong Ze, who was appointed by Wang Yang and cooperated with the kind of teacher work, had been dealing with Zhong Shidao for several years. How could he not understand the meaning at this moment?

"Two, come and sit down. You guys, you're too reckless, how can you say that?" Zong Ze waved to Wan Bin and Ma Kui with a smile and signaled.

"Master Zong, what do you mean..." Ma Kui was stunned, not understanding what the old driver meant. However, Wan Bin narrowed his eyes and stroked his long beard, not knowing what he was thinking about.

"I, the Tiger Ben of the Song Dynasty, naturally, wanted to make the decision for the people of the Song Dynasty. There is no doubt about this. Don't you understand?" Zong Ze did not expect that Ma Kui was a good guy in war, but when it comes to emotional intelligence, it was really a bit...

"Thank you, Lord Zong, for your advice. The villain understands. General Ma, let's go out for a drink. Wan has something to do to find you..."

"Hey? I, I haven't finished speaking yet. Manager Wanda, you are..." Ma Kui looked at Zong Ze who was smiling in the room with a confused look on his face, then looked at Wan Bin who kept winking at him, and finally he could only follow Wan Bin away reluctantly.

"I saw that general leaving and the sect's advice in the house meant that we were telling us that there was no need to say it too clearly?" It was not until after dragging Ma Kui out of the house that Wan Bin lowered his voice and explained to Ma Kui.

"You mean, Magistrate Zhong means to let us do it quietly, and then let's talk about it?" Ma Kui's eyes lit up and said with great brilliance.

"Shh, I said General Ma, can you speak softly..." Wan Bin was really convinced by this naval admiral. What the hell, Zhong Shidao and Zong Ze meant that this matter could only be done invisible, and the fewer people knew, the better. Why are you so loud?
