Chapter 496: Voyager

"Ci is not in charge of the army?" Qin Xuance muttered, stunned and looked at the ruthlessness in Wang Xiao's eyes.

For Qin Xuance, he has seen more of the cruelty of war than Wang Xiao. But the war he experienced was a battle between soldiers and horses on both sides, not a brutal bullying of weak civilians.

Jiannu has entered the fortress many times, and he has heard the tragic situation of the four northern provinces of the Chu Dynasty countless times. But it wasn't until he saw with his own eyes today, and the heart-rending howls really entered his ears, that he really understood the cruelty......

"But, you...... You weren't like that before...... You weren't like that when I knew you. ”

"And what else do you want me to do?!" Wang Xiao scolded suddenly.

"You think I look relaxed? You think I'm willing to do this? Don't I want to stay in the capital and live comfortably with my sweetheart? However, this Chu Dynasty is already terminally ill, and the extinction of the dynasty is just around the corner! Qin Xuance, you can show me everything in Xiping Fort today! If you dare to hesitate a little, all this will happen in Jinzhou, in Beijing, Yangzhou, and Nanjing...... The world is so big, you and Zuo Mingxin will not have a place to stay! ”

Qin Xuance was pushed by Wang Xiao and fell under the horse.

His martial arts skills are superb, I don't know how many times higher than Wang Xiao, but he didn't react at this moment.

Immediately the two teenagers on the ground looked at each other and fell silent.

~~

Wang Xiao and Qin Xuance are actually two completely different people.

Zuo Mingxin sees this most clearly.

She once made a judgment in her heart - "Xuan Ce seems to be uninhibited, as if he is a gangster." But in fact, the heart is kind; It looks like a game of flowers, but in fact, it is single-minded. The prodigal spirit shown in him is used to hide the softness of his heart in the atmosphere of Liaodong.

As for Huai Yuanhou, he seems to be pure and obedient on the outside, but in fact he is scheming; seems to be an upright gentleman, but in fact he is amorous. ”

……

At that time, these two teenagers with different temperaments looked at each other for a while, and in the end, Qin Xuance relented first.

"I know, I just want to say: Now that this case is opened, the military discipline of the Guanning Iron Cavalry is broken, and it will be difficult to change it in the future......

"Later?" Wang Xiao still sneered: "There is no future, I led them across the Liao River, and I never thought of coming back alive." ”

Qin Xuance was stunned.

Wang Xiao raised his hand and pointed at Qin Xuance, and said lightly: "You will get on He Wan's ship tonight, and I will ask him to send you to the capital." ”

"I'm not leaving!" Qin Xuance roared, "I will be the first to conquer Shenyang......

"Who told you that I was going to conquer Shenyang?" Wang said with a smile: "Without an army of 200,000 carrying a large amount of grain, grass and equipment, and without a stable rear and long-term combat deployment, what are you dreaming of capturing other people's Shengjing?" I might as well say it bluntly, this time, we are going to die. When the main force of the Eight Banners in the fortress comes back, we can die! ”

Qin Xuance opened his mouth, but he couldn't speak.

"You see, you can't be a famous general, you are soft and used to bragging, and you are mediocre compared to your uncles. There's no point in following along...... Hop on board and go back, that's what your grandfather meant. ”

Qin Xuance looked at it, and saw Wang Xiao's brows furrowed, and he looked a little disgusted.

In the past few days, Wang Xiao has to belittle him from time to time, he used to be just a joke, but he didn't expect Wang Xiao to really dislike himself......

Qin Xuance only felt a basin of cold water coming down, and a huge disappointment surged in his heart.

After two wins, a pride is piled up in the chest...... Only at this moment did I understand that it was again in vain.

He thought of Zuo Mingxin's sentence "You must come back alive" in his mind......

The next moment, Wang Xiao waved his hand, and several guards surrounded him, escorted Qin Xuance, and headed for the big boat by the river.

~~

He Wan was holding an abacus in one hand, and the other hand was crackling on it.

"According to the time of return, you can take another two hundred and seventy-one people, and the rest of the captives are not allowed to board the ship again."

"That ......"

"Kill it." He Wan commanded.

"Let it go." Someone said a word.

He Wan turned around, and saw Wang Xiao stepping onto the deck, and greeted He Wan: "Hello, capitalist." ”

"What if Master Hou puts the rest of these coatings? Then your whereabouts will be exposed......"

"It has been exposed, there is wolf smoke on Xiping Fort, and the army of Jiannu will arrive tomorrow." Wang smiled, "But, it's okay to be exposed." "The whole book

He Wan nodded.

"You also sent someone to transport the grain and grass from Xiping Fort, and I didn't bring baggage."

"He has already calculated, the cabin is so big, it can't be moved."

"Got it, I'll take care of the rest."

The two of them chattered for a few words, and Wang smiled and said, "Xuan Ce asked you to take him back to the capital, you take care of him." I also trouble you to go to Jinzhou and take away the old and young women and children of the Qin family...... Qin Xiaozhu must be taken away. In addition, tell my eldest brother and second brother, the share of the industrial park and all the money and food in my hand, and give half to the Qin family......"

"Don't want Jinzhou City then?"

"It's going to be a ......"

He Wan looked at the east bank of the Liao River and said in a low voice: "Qin Chengye sold his 30,000 men and the Ningjin defense line in exchange for his family's wealth and stability?" ”

He said, feeling a little disdainful.

Wang Xiao shook his head and said with a smile: "On the other hand, why didn't Qin Chengye and the Liaodong soldiers throw away their lives in exchange for saving hundreds of people in the Guannai from being slaughtered by the main force of Jiannu this time?" ”

He Wan was slightly stunned.

"Is he like that?"

"Who can tell what kind of person someone else is? It's not a merit, and let it go. ”

Wang smiled and said, looked at He Wan, his face became solemn, and he said in a low voice: "That thing, are you ready?" ”

"Little Pearl...... No, your second brother is doing it himself. He Wan said, "After sending me on the ship, he is ready to set off." ”

"Okay."

This matter is secret, there is no need to talk about it, Wang Xiao nodded and waved his hand again.

- Success or failure is here.

He thought for a moment, sat down on the deck, and watched the waters of the Liao River flow.

"I have a few things to tell you."

"Master Hou, please command."

"Don't be so serious, I'm just chatting with you. You are my eldest brother's friend, and I don't have much contact with you, but I greatly appreciate and fancy you, and I know that you will have a great future in the future. Wang smiled and said slowly: "Now, it is the middle of the seventeenth century......

He Wan didn't understand a little.

But for some reason, he always felt that in Wang Xiao, he could feel a great prospect.

This may just be an intuition, but it is this intuition that drives He Wan to listen to what Wang Xiao said.

Now, Wang Xiao may want to lift the curtain for him.

"More than 100 years ago, the Age of Discovery began...... Forty or fifty years ago, the Dutch and the British established the East India Company. Europe has begun colonialism, they have formed their own mercenaries, issued currency, established colonies around the world, built factories, plundered and monopolized......"

"Now is the time for them to accumulate primitive capital, with armed occupation, pirate plunder, fraudulent trade, bloody slave trade...... All kinds of means, depriving countries of a lot of wealth. From black slaves, tooth chips, saltpeter, to tea, cinnamon, cotton, indigo, as long as it brings wealth, they sell everything, and they rob everything......"

Wang Xiao said for a long time, and finally said: "The wealth of the whole world is flowing with the ship to Europe, and this process may last one or two hundred years. ”

"You say, how dirty and evil are these methods?!"

He Wan was shocked.

It was as if he saw an endless ocean of silver and gold...... In comparison, the He family's small family property is a drop in the bucket.

I saw Wang Xiao take out a token and a scroll of bright holy decrees from his sleeve and hand them to him.

"I'm going to Shenyang this time, and I may not be able to come back, so I'll hand these over to you first."

He Wan stretched out his hand and took it.

He thought that this was his reward for leading a gunboat to Xiping Fort.

But the next moment, Wang Xiao slowly spoke again.

"From now on, you and your ship will hang the banner of Marquis Huaiyuan, on behalf of our Great Chu Dynasty, I want you to ...... No, it's my father who wants you to go...... Get a piece of the pie! ”
