Chapter 473: Panicked
"Father, there is news on both sides of the Wanshou Pagoda and the Liuhe Pagoda, and no trace of the Song Army has been found!" A tall middle-aged man with yellow hair and blue eyes stepped forward to say goodbye after an obese old man had finished his morning prayer. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Whew...... Let's eat! The old man got up and sighed, and seemed to let go of his heart and said, and then he actually looked like a foreigner with a high nose and blue eyes, and a white robe showed his faith, which was not new in Quanzhou, where the Tibetan people gathered, and it was not conspicuous in the crowd, but no one in Quanzhou City did not know his name Pu Shou Geng.
"Shisi, it's been five days since you instigated Quanzhou, right?" Pu Shougeng walked out with the support of his second son and said.
"Father, the consolation envoy has only been gone for three days!" Shisi replied. And in his heart, he secretly laughed that his father was really old, since a few days ago, the little emperor of the Southern Dynasty had been restless after the imperial conquest of Zhangzhou, and after the left minister of FJ Province instigated the troops to help, it was even more difficult to sleep and eat. Specially sent people to monitor the sea off Quanzhou on the two commanding heights of Quanzhou, Liuhe Pagoda and Wanshou Pagoda, and only after hearing the return of safety and soundness did they refuse to eat.
"Three days?! He's only been gone for three days, and I thought it had been five. Pu Shougeng sighed and said, "Why are you upset about the little emperor's attack on Zhangzhou this time?" You must not be careless, send more sentinel ships to inspect the sea, and immediately close the city gate as soon as there is anything wrong, and go to Zhangzhou to ask for help. ”
"Father, don't be anxious, it doesn't take ten days to break the enemy, besides, there are thousands of soldiers and horses in our city, plus there are 10,000 government soldiers, and there are also 1,000 Tanma Red Army led by a hundred slaves! Even if they came to attack, it would not be so easy, and the distance between Quanzhou and Zhangzhou was only three hundred miles, and it would only take three or two days to instigate the starry night to help. Shi Si comforted his father, but he was a little disdainful in his heart, I don't know why my father was so afraid, is it possible that people become less courageous when they are old?
"I always have an ominous premonition, thinking that the little emperor is coming for our Quanzhou, and Zhangzhou is just a suspicious soldier for his hometown!" Pu Shougeng said as he walked.
"No, I'm afraid the little emperor of the Southern Dynasty doesn't have so much courage, where can a child have such a heavy scheming!" Shi Si smiled disappreciatively.
"Don't take it lightly, we have formed a mortal enmity with the Zhao official family, killed so many of their clan children, and forced them to the sea. After that, in the name of the edict to the merchants of various countries, he also asked the Great Khan to conquer and suppress them, and sent troops to assist Zhang Hongfan in attacking Yashan, thinking that they could be wiped out and never suffer in the future, but I didn't expect Zhang Hongfan not only to be able to destroy the Zhao Guan's family, but also lost his life, which is really a big trouble! Pu Shougeng's fat face trembled a few times and said.
"Father, then why did you destroy the Six Great Kings Temple in Guangzhou!" Shi Si asked again, the gods enshrined in the six major temples of Guangzhou are said to be very effective, and ships entering and leaving Guangzhou will go to worship, but his father asked the emperor to add Mazu as the god of the sea, which made him very strange why he wanted to set up two sea gods.
"You're such a fool!" Pu Shougeng said in a deep voice, "The six kings enshrined in Guangzhou are the Wei kings who fell into the city that day, and the current emperor of the Southern Dynasty, calling the six kings just to cover people's eyes and ears, how can we let them become the god of the sea!" ”
"Oh, I see, then the little emperor is not an ordinary person!" Shi Si frowned and said, not everyone can be revered as a god, especially a living person.
"Hmph, why do you think anyone can be an emperor, it is the heavenly god's mansion, so I will be uneasy to learn that he has become an emperor, if he is worshiped by all living beings again, the future will be even more terrifying!" Pu Shougeng snorted coldly.
"Well, I know, I'll strengthen the city defense tomorrow!" Shi Si nodded.
"We must strictly check the people who enter and leave the city, Quanzhou was once the fief of King Wei, and he also served as a foreign Zongzheng, and now that he is the emperor, he will not let us occupy Quanzhou, and will also avenge us for killing the clan in the city. And although the people and the remnants of the clan here seem to be subservient, they still miss it, and as long as they lead troops here, they may respond to it and capture us and sacrifice us to his ranks! Pu Shougeng said.
"Father, there will be more than a month when the merchant ships of the four countries gather, and now all the merchants have also gathered in Quanzhou, and the population of the city will increase by more than 100,000. With so many people in and out of the city, it would be uneasy to be strictly investigated! Shi Si said with some embarrassment.
"Life is important, or money is important. The accumulation of our Pu family for several generations is all in this square inch of the city, the business will not succeed this year, and there will be next year and the year after next, as long as we keep this treasure land, our Pu family will not fall, and there will be endless gold and silver! Pu Shougeng glared at his son angrily, blaming him for being short-sighted and wanting to miss a big thing.
"My son got it!" Seeing that his father was unhappy, Shi Si quickly replied.
"Today, you bring some gifts to the Propaganda Department and visit the next hundred slaves. Allocate some more money and food to the left wing army, and the guards in the palace will also find a reason to reward them! Pu Shougeng admonished again.
"Father, as the governor of FJ Province, it is not normal for you to give gifts to hundreds of slaves, right? And the left-wing army relies on our Pu family to provide food and drink, and there has never been a shortage of money and food, so why do you need to allocate more? Shi Si said puzzledly, the cost of this gift and reward is not a small amount.
"Fool, the hundred slaves are the sons of the instigated capital, who have been in the army since childhood, brave and good at fighting, and we have to rely on him to defend the city, and do not forget that their father and son are Mongols, the confidants of the Great Khan. Although I am older than his officials, I can instigate them to bankrupt their families with just one sentence, and there are no chickens and dogs left, and we can only respect those who cannot afford to offend. ”
"Since those people in the Left Wing Army can turn their backs on the Lord for money, they will also turn their backs on us for money. Besides, if you expect a dog to bite someone, you always give it a bone to eat, so that it will bite into the bone. If your eldest brother is at home, I will never worry about these things! Pu Shougeng sighed helplessly and said, this is also a son, why is there such a big difference? The eldest son, Shiwen, can go to overseas places on his behalf to edict countries to come to trade, but this time Zishi Si is in charge of the affairs of the mansion, and he is so careless in doing things, which makes him a little disappointed.
"The son is not right, and he makes his father angry, Shi Si will definitely work hard and never let his father down again. Let's eat first! Shi Si carried his father into the hall, and he said with a smile. But he was indignant in his heart, his father always said that he was not doing things properly, and handed over all the major affairs in the house to the eldest brother Shiwen to deal with, and only let himself do some trivialities, which made him very dissatisfied in his heart, but it was difficult to distinguish, so he could only hide it in his heart.
"Hurry up and do it, don't let me down again!" Pu Shougeng sat down, waved his hand and said...... (To be continued.) )
