Chapter 497: After Death
He Wan was born as a merchant and experienced life and death at sea, and when he heard Wang Xiao talk about these 'colonial' things, he thought more about the wealth that this event could bring.
He Wan does not love the wealth itself, although he is a concubine, but he was born in the He family, when he was young, food, clothing, housing and transportation were not short, if he only wanted to spend all his life, now the silver in his hand is actually inexhaustible. He loves the process of acquiring wealth even more, setting sail in the midst of the turbulent waves, controlling the fate of others, and subduing the nations across the seas, which in itself can give him a great sense of achievement.
In other words, He Wan did not reject colonization, but rather ...... Rewards.
- Who came up with such a solution? It can raise the interests and status of businessmen to the extreme.
- East India Company...... He is a role model for my generation!
He felt excited, but seeing Wang Xiao angrily denounce 'dirty and evil', his eyes seemed to be shining with justice, He Wan's excitement was suppressed, and he even felt a little ashamed.
Until the words 'a piece of the pie' came into my ears, the heavy token and the bright holy decree were stuffed into my hands...... He Wan trembled unconsciously.
Wang Xiao took in his expression, shook his head and sighed: "The nature of a capitalist. ”
He Wan had unfolded the decree.
Above is a dignified style of small Kai, graceful, mellow and elegant, ups and downs. The middle and end sections are stamped with the square seals of the Treasure of the Royal Decree and the Treasure of Guangyun......
"Don't look at it, it's fake. I asked He Boyong to write many congratulatory notes to my father, and collected my father's handwriting and seals. Wang smiled, "The above content is also simple, in the future, your fleet will represent the Marquis of Huaiyuan, and you will be the imperial merchant of the imperial seal." Well, it's okay to scare someone else. ”
His expression was calm, as if it was no big deal to forge a holy decree.
"Originally, it's really not difficult to get one, but I can't do it temporarily when I'm not in the capital. If I can come back, this falsehood will be true; If I don't come back...... Take advantage of it yourself. Remember, what really matters is your strength, and if you have strong artillery in the future, even if you have a strong artillery, even if you are the emperor, you have to pinch your nose and admit it. On the contrary, it is the true divine decree that is taken, and it is also at the mercy of others. ”
He Wan clenched his fists and said excitedly: "He remember." ”
He thought for a while, but then asked, "Master Hou, but I only have one caravan, and my firepower is not strong. It's ...... to compete with the Redbeards for a share."
"I know." Wang Xiao raised his hand, and a guard came over with a stack of brochures.
Wang Xiao picked up one first and said, "This is for you...... My second brother is running in Denglai, and he can be your backer, he has money in his hands, and you must buy artillery, guns, and sea ships at any cost, and form a sea force. The prisoners of war and captives who were brought back these two times had already been killed by Jiannu, but you can use them as sailors, or you can let them grow grain in the fields around Luzon. This booklet contains the plans and charts I have given you, and if you follow them, you may become a sea giant like the Zheng family in five years. As long as the situation is stable and the imperial court supports it, it is not a problem to catch up with European maritime merchants. But...... Let's talk about it. ”
He Wan was stunned, but he didn't reach out to pick it up, but just asked, "Master Hou, are you ...... Tell me what happened? ”
Wang Xiao didn't answer, and said to himself: "In addition, this booklet is for the eldest brother and the second brother, I actually told them about the development of the industrial park a long time ago, but these days I think of something to add, and I write it on it." Remember to remind them from time to time that the long-term development of industry is to develop industry, combine with your sea caravans, and bring back raw materials to export high-priced goods. Jiaodong is small, growing grain a year at most two crops, now the Chu Dynasty is not in the war, in Jiaodong grain planting may not be stable, it is best to establish an overseas grain production land to raise soldiers...... Of course, it's up to my brothers to adjust. ”
"Lord Hou......"
"These letters, you let the second brother send them out for me." Wang said with a smile, picking up a few letters.
This is for Tang Qianqian, Ying'er, Qian Duoduo, and Chunning respectively......
"Master Hou." He Wan called again and said, "Why do you need to go to Shenyang in person? ”
"You have sailed on the sea for many years, and your experience is exchanged for your life, and I can't replace you in going to sea. In the same way, I am the concubine of the Chu Dynasty and the Marquis of Huaiyuan of the Chu Dynasty, and my father asked me to supervise Liaodong, so no one can lead the Guanning Iron Cavalry to attack Shenyang for me. The king smiled and said, "One person has one person's responsibility, and one person also has one life." ”
He Wan said: "You and I have only met a few times, but I can see how much ambition you have, and how much you have thought about this world." If it weren't for the social considerations, why would you have so many such thoughts?! Then you don't want to take the rest of us with you to do it? One day, our Chu Dynasty will return to its peak. My Chu Dynasty ships passed by, and the four Yi competed to surrender, and no one dared to attack it! Doesn't Hou Ye want to achieve these things with his own hands? ”
He Wan said excitedly, and said: "I don't want to look at this booklet on paper, the plan can't catch up with the changes, and the benefits of the ship and artillery are not something I can deal with with with a booklet......."
Wang Xiao frowned slightly.
He Wan felt a little incoherent, and solemnly stared at Wang Xiao's eyes and said, "He is stupid, please ask Master Hou to mention it from time to time." Please Hou Ye sit on this ship to direct the war in Liaodong, and you don't have to take risks yourself. ”
"I'm more desperate than you." Wang smiled: "Sitting in command? When dawn came, as soon as the soldiers and horses of Jiannu arrived everywhere, the Guanning Iron Cavalry became a lone army trapped in a heavy siege, how to command it on the ship? This time, it is not possible not to go, the main force of the Eight Banners has entered the fortress, and it is not only the lives of the people in the Guannai who have been ruined again...... Tang Zhongyuan was about to go east, and Xuanfu and Datong faced its front. Once Jiannu besieged Beijing again, where would the capital draw troops and horses? At that time, the destruction will only be in the moment. I can't help it. Even, if Jiannu was more ruthless, he wouldn't even want his own Shengjing City...... I don't even dare to think about it. In short, I must go in person, stir it upside down, and let the main force of the Eight Banners not come back to help. ”
As he spoke, he patted the booklet in his hand and sighed: "The second brother has just arrived in Shandong, and our prospects have just begun. If you can't cross this hurdle, then it's all over. At present, it is a dead end, and only by not dying can you earn a trace of life, and you can have the possibility of Xu Tu's development. ”
"Master Hou, why don't you want to think that you can only turn the tide if you live?!"
Wang Xiao pointed to Xiping Fort and said with a smile: "It is countless people who have turned the tide, General Luo and his three thousand soldiers who guarded Xiping Fort, and Lu Gong, who has spent his life fighting for Sheji for a year, there are countless people like them in this world. Tomorrow, I will cross the Liao River with these 30,000 cavalry, and I will only become one of these people. But if I don't come back, it's up to you...... Even if you fail, that's okay. In two hundred or three hundred years, there will always be people in this country who will stand up. ”
He Wan was stunned.
He thought that Wang Xiao was probably crazy.
He opened his mouth to say something.
"Shut up! Listen to me, time is running out. Wang smiled: "If Tang Zhongyuan wins the capital and wins Sheji." There are two possibilities, first, if he can beat Jiannu, he can let my two brothers lead you to the past. But remember, don't let him be forbidden to the sea. The disadvantages of closing the country to the outside world, I don't say that you understand it. I have a handwritten letter about this matter, and I ask my brother to hand it over to Qianqian, and she will help make it happen. In addition, you have to find a way to send Chun Ning and King Qi overseas......"
"Second, if Tang Zhongyuan still can't beat Jiannu, then the situation will be complicated, I'll tell you one by one......"
The water of the Liao River slapped against the hull of the boat, and the grass nest by the river formed another layer of ice. 137
In the distance, groups of cavalry cheered back and converged into Xiping Fort.
On the deck, Wang Xiao explained what happened after his death little by little, but he felt infinite attachment to life.
Finally, before dawn, a loud military horn sounded in Xiping Fort.
"Hmm, Old Man Qin got up." Wang Xiao said and stood up and patted He Wan on the shoulder, "There will be a period later, capitalist." ”
He Wan stood on the deck in a daze, watching Wang Xiao get off the boat and get on the horse.
"Master Hou, come back alive."
Wang Xiao didn't turn his head, he raised his hand casually and waved.
"Got it, pick me up here in two months."
……
The flames suddenly lit up in the Xiping Fort.
"Burn all the grain and grass that can't be taken away!"
A shout of applause came from afar......
Then, a column of cavalry rushed out and rode across the Pingyang Bridge.
The light of the day lit up little by little in this way.
The big boats on the Liao River turned their heads awkwardly and went down the river to the sea.
Suddenly.
"Boom!"
Cannonballs flew out of the ship and landed on the Binh Duong Bridge with a bang!
The bridge shook, kicked up countless smoke and dust, and slowly fell into the water......
On the east bank of the Liao River, 30,000 cavalry turned their heads to look at the ruins on the river and at Xiping Fort, which was full of smoke and flames, and was silent.
In the silence, Wang Xiao rode his horse up the hillside, raised his knife and shouted: "Go here, don't break the oath of Jiannu and never return!" ”
After a little silence, the 30,000 cavalry suddenly shouted loudly.
"I am willing to fight to the death with the Hou Ye!"
"We will fight to the death and will not retreat!"
"Fight to the death! Death ......"
……
"Fuck it!"
"Robbed the big jade ......"
~~
A wave of pride surged between Wang Xiao's chest. He took a deep breath and was about to say something more......
Suddenly, he rubbed his eyes.
In the array, he saw Qin Xuance raising his spear and shouting with all his might.
Niang Xipi! How did this kid get off the boat?
……
30,000 iron hooves gallop across the vast land of the Liaohe Plain.
Qin Xuance tied a spear to his back, and between the horse and the military formation, his heart was agitated.
"Hahaha......"
"There is an oath in the chest that is deeper than the sea, and I am willing to make Shenzhou sink on the land?!"
