The world is impermanent.

Lu Ning's fleet had just arrived at the Jiangling ferry when a light boat chased after him from the lower reaches of the Yangtze River.

But it is said that a big shopkeeper of the East China Sea Baixing had a dispute with someone in Quanzhou and was killed!

This big shopkeeper is Wang Jin.

Seeing this urgent report, Lu Ning felt extremely angry for the first time.

Who is Wang Jin? From the East China Sea to follow Lu Ning, once entrusted by Lu Ning, to Yangzhou to auction the so-called elixir and navigation Sinan, is one of the important figures in the establishment of the East China Sea Baixing, but also one of the 26 big shopkeepers of the East China Sea Baixing, these 26 big shopkeepers, plus more than 100 particularly outstanding small shopkeepers, formed the East China Sea Baihang Commercial Bureau, there is a commercial conference every year, Lu Ning will personally listen to the suggestions of these big and small shopkeepers on the development of the East China Sea Baixing.

The East China Sea is like the embryonic state of Western colonial companies in history, although they have just formed a fleet to go to the South Seas, and only have trade relations with the tribes scattered in the Southeast Asian islands, they are still learning from the experience of ocean trade.

However, the East China Sea Baixing has been granted the privilege of the Qi royal family to trade in "all the oceans under heaven", of course, unlike those colonial companies in history, the East China Sea Baixing itself is the royal trading group of the Qi State.

Now a big treasurer has been killed in Quanzhou.

Moreover, it is still Wang Jin.

Lu Ning's face was ugly.

In the cabin, Peng Hong and Feng Yanlu, the directors of the foreign affairs room who were resigning to Lu Ning and preparing to enter Jiangling City, saw it.

"Go ahead!" Lu Ning waved his hand, the plan to annex Nanping could not be abandoned halfway.

After the annexation of Nanping, Li Chongjin of Xiangzhou was really surrounded by the territory of Qi in all directions, and if he did not surrender, he could only say that he was begging for death.

With patience, he ordered Wang Dayan, who followed, to lead the army to camp ashore.

Because of the attack on Wuchang City, Wang Dayan led a hundred dead soldiers to make great achievements, and he has been promoted from the head of the capital to the coach of the Shenwu Army, and the three thousand military horses who came to Jiangling this time were commanded by him.

It is considered to be promoted to three levels in a row, in fact, the Shenwu Army is composed of 3,000 soldiers from the armor-breaking battalion, the Baoxin Army, Jiangling and 5,000 soldiers from the Wuchang Army of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and more than 1,000 people from the armor-breaking battalion and the Baoxin Army are the backbone of the Shenwu Army.

Of course, the most important thing is that Lu Ning is optimistic about him.

I have to say that Feng Yanlu is really a talent in this kind of thing, within a few days, Gao Baorong went out of the city and surrendered, it is said that Feng Yanlu even used bribery to buy Gao Baorong's close attendants, which made Gao Baorong feel that everyone was betraying his relatives and becoming more and more pessimistic.

Of course, if Gao Baorong wants to save his life and even be prosperous and wealthy, there is no second way except to surrender, and the persuasion of the servants and courtiers around him only makes him more sober.

Originally, at this time, Lu Ning should have sat in Jiangling, first, to integrate the officials, soldiers and civilians of the three states of Nanping; Second, wait for Li Chongjin's decision.

However, Lu Ning couldn't wait, leaving Wang Dayan and three thousand military horses in Jiangling, and he only had a few ships to escort him, so he went down the river and returned to Wuhan Mansion.

At this time, Emperor Qi's edict to the Tang King had arrived in Jinling.

The edict was naturally written by Lu Ning on the boat, stamped with a treasure seal, and sent a tiger maid to Wuhan Mansion, and then sent to Nanjing by the three knives in Wuhan Mansion, and issued by Nanjing Xinggong.

And Lu Ning waited in Wuhan Mansion for a few days, and the Tang delegation came in a hurry.

According to the edict of Emperor Qi's anger, the Jingxiang Chu Zhaofu Division of Wuhan Mansion took charge of the dispute and asked King Tang to personally go to Wuhan Mansion to plead guilty.

A five-grade envoy Si Yamen accepted the Tang King's plea, which shows that Emperor Qi was really angry this time, and the news immediately came that the Jiangdong Army and the Jiangxi Army began to mobilize several heavy people, and the Chaohu Water Army also appeared on the Yangtze River.

Of course, Tang King Li Jingsui did not come in person, but his mission can be said to be of a very high standard.

There are three people in the country, and they are all children of the original royal family.

Li Jing then removed the emperor's title, so the original kings of the Tang Kingdom were also demoted to the princes of the country, and the three princes of the imperial family came to Wuhan together, and they had to say that they were sincerely afraid.

However, if you look at who these three princes are, it is obvious that Li Jingsui has thought it through again.

Li Yu, the chief envoy of the mission, Li Jingyi, the deputy envoy of Baoning, and Li Congxi, the prince of Nanchang.

Li Yu and Li Jingsui didn't need to say that Li Jingsui felt that these two had a relationship with Emperor Qi, and they didn't feel distressed when their heads were cut off by Emperor Qi.

But only these two people were sent, and Li Jingsui was not at ease, so he added his second son Li Congxun, firstly to express sincerity, and secondly, to supervise.

Although the second son Li Congxun and Emperor Qi used to have a bad relationship, and he was also impetuous, he was not the most suitable candidate, but he could not send his eldest son, if he had to sacrifice a person, Li Jingsui would naturally give up this second son who did not learn and did not know how to do it.

In the Si Ya Hall, Lu Ning couldn't help but have mixed feelings when he saw Li Yu and Li Jingyu again, but he didn't want to say goodbye and meet again in this situation.

As for Li Congxun, he is even more arrogant, but he obviously knows the situation he is in, but in front of him, a five-grade petty official, he is a little trembling, where is there still the flying and domineering when he fought cocks in Jinling?

Obviously, he was very afraid of Qi people.

His father, Li Jingsui, probably didn't expect this son to be so unbearable as he was so strong, and he was afraid that what he was telling him was more to stop making trouble and try to be patient.

There is a huge long table between the two sides, but the seats of the three princes of Jiangnan are slightly shorter and simpler, but Lu Ning's seat is tall and very luxurious, and the momentum is overwhelming.

Lu Ning put forward the conditions for the emperor of his country to calm his anger, and the Tang State ceded the six prefectures of Jiangzhou, Hongzhou, Fuzhou, Tingzhou, Zhangzhou, and Quanzhou to the Qi State, and all the people involved in Quanzhou, including the officials in charge, were imprisoned, and after the arrival of the officials of the country, the case of the murder of the royal merchants of the country was tried.

Li Yu and Li Jingyu were both startled, and they never thought that the Northern Dynasty would open their mouths so loudly.

This condition is equivalent to a long straight line of territory from Jiangzhou, a port on the south bank of the Yangtze River, to Quanzhou, the southernmost outlet of the sea, and a long straight line of territory was ceded to the Qi State.

Moreover, among the six states today, Jiangzhou, Hongzhou and Quanzhou are the three largest and most prosperous weeks in the Tang Kingdom except for the capital Jinling.

Li Congxun was beside him and didn't dare to speak, Li Yu was also a little stunned, only Li Jingxuan, Zhengse said: "Professor Wen, this matter is definitely not feasible, and I also ask Professor Wen to make clear the decree of the Holy Lord." ”

Lu Ning looked at him and sighed in his heart, King Baoning, as he did back then, in fact, he was very heroic in his heart, not afraid of power, and among the children of the Li family today, he was still a rich prince with some integrity.

Think about the words that helped him fight cocks, played with him in the East China Sea, and looked at the Khitan direction, but I really hope that one day I can fight with him in Beijing for a few days and nights.

It's just that the current self, the son of Qi Guo, in his eyes, is already an enemy.

After all, in his bones, the blood of the Li family in Jiangnan still flows.

"The Holy Son of Heaven is so clear, if you can't wait to be the master, just repair the book and ask the Tang Lord!" Lu Ning flicked the sleeves of his robe and left.
