Every plan Xu Shiyang has made now is not something that can be successful overnight, or even ten or eight years.

Fortunately, he doesn't need to be too anxious, after all, he only has a Qingzhou in his hand now, plus a small piece of land near Jining County of the Grand Canal, so it would be good to be able to build a framework.

Of course, there are jobs that will soon see results.

This included the establishment of full-fledged military factories and steel plants, and the relocation of gunpowder factories from densely populated areas.

It also includes efforts to further transform the social system in Qingzhou-controlled areas, which Xu Muhe praised for setting up an agricultural company, which he intends to expand to the entire Qingzhou province.

For those dock castle owners who were still semi-independent forces in the alliance, Xu Muhe planned to take advantage of the aftermath of the great victory, and semi-force them to use the land they held as shares and join the agricultural company, so as to deprive the foreign surname of the dock castle lord of his military rights.

Having lost their land and personal control over the people of the fort, the lord of the fort would no longer have the ability to threaten the nascent Qingzhou regime.

In addition, after occupying the three dock forts near the canal, the Qingzhou Army actually formed a flanking attack on about half of Yanzhou's land east of Jining County and west of Fei County.

Xu Muhe planned to take advantage of this opportunity to force the lord of the dock fort in these areas to join Qingzhou and continue to expand the scope of Qingzhou's territorial control.

The idea is good, but this work must wait for Xu Shiyang to intercept and pro-ship the fleet before it can be carried out.

Because Xu Shiyang got the news, the Heqin fleet has entered the scope of Qi Province and is slowly coming towards Jining County.

……

"General Xu, His Royal Highness sent slaves and maids to ask, where is this? Why are the waters so vast? ”

A servant girl walked lightly into Xu Ning's cabin and asked in a low voice:

"Is this in the middle of the sea?"

"Alas......"

Xu Ning, who was responsible for escorting the pro-team, the commander of the golden gun squad of the Great Zhou Forbidden Army, and now had the name of a nondescript pro-protector general, sighed helplessly:

"Please return to Your Highness, this is in Shandong, with Dushan Lake to the east and Nanyang Lake to the west, that's all."

As a princess who grew up in Lin'an, how could Renfu not know what the sea was like? How can these two small lakes on the east and west sides be compared to the sea?

Princess Renfu deliberately sent someone to ask, I'm afraid that she still hides her thoughts of fleeing into the sea and staying away from the world, right?

How is this possible?

Princess Renfu is powerless, even if she is allowed to escape into the sea, what is her safe haven? What's more, the canal is far from the sea, and there is no room for her to leap.

'It's a pity. ’

Xu Ning thought.

Although he didn't know what to pity.

It's a pity that a delicate beauty is going to fall into the hands of a tartar?

What does that have to do with him? The princess was given to Tartar by her father, the current Emperor Jianxing, what is there to pity about him Xu Ning?

What's more, he is also difficult to protect himself now - no one dares to say that the Tartars can release the forbidden army that escorted the pro-team home according to the agreement, everyone was detained, and it was not impossible for the Tartars to be slaves, and it was not impossible to go to Liaodong to shepherd sheep.

It's a pity that the princess can't escape?

Again, what does that have to do with him?

Ah no, this has something to do with him - the prince has fled, and he, the general who protects his relatives, will inevitably become the target of the emperor and the Tartars' inclined anger, so he Xu Ning will be to blame for his death.

In other words, Xu Ning must dispel the princess's desire to escape, ask her to go to Liaodong honestly, and let the Tartars spoil .......

Is this human work?

Anyway, he is also a seven-foot man, a self-proclaimed kung fu hero, and he actually does this kind of work of giving women to the enemy to spoil them, and he can simply lose the face of the eighteenth generation ancestors ......of the old Xu family when he says it.

"Alas......"

Xu Ning sighed helplessly again.

This escort and pro-team into Liaodong will be a stain that he will never be able to wash away.

"Forget it, it's a while if you can delay it."

Xu Ning sighed:

"Someone come, pass on my general order, and the front of the whole army will give Jiazhuang a few days of rest."

He remembered again that his friend Lin Chong, who was now in the same fleet, seemed to want to settle his family here, so it was better to stay for a few more days.

"If you have spare money, you can get off the boat to sell wine and recruit concubines, and I will not stop you."

……

They're finally here.

Xu Shiyang stood on the edge of the canal, squinting at the huge fleet of ships that were parked on both sides of the canal.

According to Jiangnan's intelligence, the fleet of Heqin included the maids, slaves, craftsmen, family members, soldiers and shipwrights of the forbidden army who were married by Princess Renfu, as well as the caravans of dozens of large households in Jiangnan, with a total of nearly 20,000 people, and more than 1,000 ships of all sizes.

Now that I look at it, it turns out to be so.

The scale of the Heqin fleet is so large, the front team has occupied the river in charge of Zhujiazhuang, but the back team has just entered Hujiazhuang, and all the canal channels have been filled by this fleet.

Of course, for Xu Shiyang, the larger the fleet, the better it is.

This means that there will be even greater gains in this operation.

Xu Muhe, who had been sitting in the rear, also rushed to hear the news, and to intercept the Great Zhou fleet, it may be necessary to contact some Great Zhou officials in the fleet, and he, the head of the family and the envoy of the festival, should be present.

"Shiyang, how are you going to detain them?" Xu Muhe stood beside Xu Shiyang and asked curiously: "There are five thousand forbidden troops, and hundreds of families of wealthy families in Jiangnan, there are quite a few people." ”

"It's just a rabble of people who have no fighting spirit." Xu Shiyang replied with a sneer: "I suspect that the vast majority of people in the forbidden army do not want to complete their tasks at all, and even have a confrontational mood. ”

"No matter how many teams like this come, it's useless."

"Wait a minute, tonight, I'll send someone to disarm them."

……

Xu Ning didn't want to be bored on the boat, so he landed with Lin Chong and a few other good friends in the forbidden army, and chose a tavern to sit down in Zhujiazhuang.

Xu Ning shouted: "Xiao Er, cut ten catties of mutton, ten catties of fresh fish, and sell twenty catties of wine!" ”

"Brother Xu, don't drink too much." Lin Chong persuaded.

"It's okay, let's rest here for a few days, and then we will set off, Brother Lin, you are just waiting for your brother named Lu Zhishen to settle down with your sister-in-law." Xu Ning smiled bitterly: "We are working for the Tartars this time, why are we so diligent?" It's better to drink, it's better to drink! ”

"Wine and meat are coming!"

The shopkeeper should be in harmony, leading a few big men to serve a few large plates of meat and fish to the officers of the Golden Gun Squad, and bring two jars of turbid wine.

"Come on, let's eat first!" Xu Ning beckoned his friends to move his chopsticks.

"Wait a minute!"

Lin Chong frowned, looking at the shopkeeper and the strong men who followed the shopkeeper with suspicious eyes.

"Who the hell are you?"

"We are the villagers in this village." The shopkeeper replied in a calm tone.

"Banker? I think you're a martial artist! ”

As he spoke, Lin Chong stood up and stood back to back with the officers who also found that something was wrong, looking vigilantly at the so-called "Zhuang Hu" who faintly surrounded him.

"Do you know who we are?" Xu Ning shouted dissatisfiedly: "Tell Zhulong to come out to see me!" ”

"Zhulong?" The shopkeeper opened his mouth and smiled: "If you want to see him, you have to go to Qingzhou Mansion." ”
