Negotiation.

Then he buried gunpowder and killed the Yang thief......

However, this was impossible, because the place of negotiation was the eunuch's tax customs, and immediately after a battalion of Dangkou troops took control of it, and the entire area around the customs was closely investigated, and it was completely certain that there was no gunpowder buried underneath.

There is no chance to be buried.

After all, it was the eunuchs and tax collectors who were stationed at the tax customs, and the tax collectors were hired by the eunuchs themselves.

"Master Hou, how dare you be sorry for you!"

The tax superintendent said tremblingly.

"You're Wang An's man, right?"

Yang Xin said.

"When the little one entered the palace, he did get the blue eyes of the king, but then he was sent to the king of the letter to serve, after the king's crime was revealed, the small one was implicated by it, and was sent to Nanjing to be convicted, this time it was Liu Gonggong who needed a person who was familiar with the people of Jiangnan, so he had to be promoted by Liu Gonggong to be a tax supervisor, speaking of which Liu Gonggong was recommended by Hou Ye, and the small one can have the grace of Hou Ye today, and the small one has only a piece of loyalty to Hou Ye."

The latter quickly knelt down and kowtowed and said.

"Get up, I'll just ask casually, after all, Wang Anyi has been dead for so many years."

Yang Xin said with a smile.

Well, it's also a celebrity.

This is Cao Huachun.

He is a close confidant of Wang An, and he has been thrown in the south by 9,000 years old all these years.

"Uncle!"

Yang Huan walked over and nodded to Yang Xin.

At the same time, Yang Xin raised his head and looked ahead, less than a mile away on the canal, a slightly larger row oarboat was coming quickly, and on the deck of this ship, Xu Xiake was dressed in a blue military uniform, wearing a military hat transformed from a square scarf, looking at the bow of the ship like a handsome man in the early Republic of China, saying that he was not too hot in such a big summer, the famous geographer had completely ignored poetry and the distance, and had to stand up in order to defend Sangzi......

Mostly for the family, of course.

After Xu Jing was imprisoned, the Xu family has been silent for many years, and now because he has risen again, especially after Li Yingsheng's family is over, the Xu family has become a well-deserved leader among the gentry in Jiangyin.

It's inspiring!

"Brother Xiake, don't come unharmed!"

Yang Dudu greeted warmly.

He had already entered the customs by this time, but did not enter the courtyard, but set up a table under a large tree against the wall on the north side of the courtyard.

This way you can be safe.

This place was actually hit by the firepower of Xishan Fort and Huishan Fort, so in order to avoid the two sides from harming the pond fish when the two sides started a war, Cao Huachun also built a high wall outside, although the thickness could not be compared to the fortress, but it was enough to resist those stray bullets. And it is three feet high, although it is within the firing range, but in fact it is nearly two kilometers away from both places, and it is impossible for those cannons to deliberately attack here, so a small courtyard surrounded by high walls can provide sufficient protection.

At this time, Yang Xin is equivalent to having two three-zhang high walls to protect him.

Don't worry about it at all.

"Hou Hejian, you don't want to talk about it like that, do you?"

Xu Xiake stood at the bow of the boat and said.

At the same time, Yang Huan led the Jinyi guards to board the ship, quickly searched their bodies and cabins, and confiscated all the weapons, they must be prevented from disfiguring Yang Xin in case of a real man, who dared to carry a musket to disfigure Yang Xin in person, and now the scientific and technological level of the weapons of the Ming Dynasty has skyrocketed, and it is no longer the kind of wave that can be made at will in the past, if he is really shot in the head by a warrior at close range, Yang Dudu can hardly believe that he can still recover.

"Why not? The shade of the trees here is cool, just enjoy the pastoral scenery in front of you, let's drink tea together and talk about poetry and distance, I heard that you like to travel around, are you interested in listening to me talk about overseas scenery? ”

Yang Xin put down the teacup and said.

Cao Huachun, who was standing next to him, hurriedly poured him tea.

After Yang Huan's search was completed, Xu Xiake disembarked at the dock, and there were not too many people behind him, that is, Chen Zilong, Xu Fuyuan and Chang Jiejun's staff Yang Tingshu.

The latter is from Suzhou, and it is also the core of the Restoration Society, at present, there are a total of six regiments in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and four in Nanzhili and two in Zhejiang, of which in addition to the Tianxiong Army and the Huwei Army, the remaining four have been completely controlled by the Restoration Society, and several systems are indeed not the Restoration Society, including Shen Tingyang. But almost all the staff officers below are, deputy commanders, and more than half of the brigade command level, for example, although Qian Shijin is not in command of the Chang'an Army, his son is, and the staff officers and brigade commanders under him are all so.

After all, the Restoration Society represents the Young Zhuang faction.

And the young Zhuang faction always represents high morale.

It can be said that in just a few years, the Fushe has mastered the absolute force of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, originally they did try to do this in history, but because of the party struggle was destroyed, and this time the gentry of Jiangsu and Zhejiang were persecuted by Yang Xin again and again, and finally chose the Fushe with the same hatred, it can be said that Yang Xin achieved the Fushe, without his persecution of the gentry, the latter would not have been forced to this road.

They had no choice but to support the Fushe in their struggle against Yang Xin by force.

Just like in the old days they supported the Donglin Party.

To put it bluntly, who can speak for them and who they support.

In the past, the Donglin Party spoke for them through the imperial court party struggle, but now the Donglin Party has actually failed, and the way through the party struggle has been proved to be impassable by failure again and again. Even if it is not just a simple support for the Restoration Society, even the more advanced stage of the Restoration Society, that is, Xu Du's direct rebellion to establish the Datong State to completely solve the problem, is already among the options of the gentry.

Now it's on the edge.

Is it a struggle within the framework of the imperial court of the Restoration Society, or is it Xu Du's kicking away from the imperial court to stand on its own.

The Jiangnan gentry have already stood on the wall and hesitated to jump in which way, this struggle to block Yang Xin is because they are still struggling, in fact, in their hearts, they are already yearning for Xu Du's way, but their confidence is not enough, they don't dare to guarantee that they can win, although Xu Du is currently in a state of strength, but that is when Yang Xin did not participate in the war.

If Yang Xin entered the war, Xu Du would most likely have failed.

The gentry were not so stupid.

They were not sure that they could defeat Yang Xin, and they would not take the risk of learning from Xu Du.

"Overseas scenery? Xu can't take care of it anymore, the land of Sangzi is almost unsaved, how can he still care about any overseas scenery. ”

Xu Xiake said.

As he spoke, he walked over to the table.

Yang Xin looked at Chen Zilong, and Chen Zilong had no choice but to step forward and call his uncle.

"Brother Xiake's words are strange, could it be that Jiannu has already hit Jiangnan? Isn't Jiangnan still peaceful and prosperous? Looking at the fragrance of rice flowers in front of me, why don't I see any danger that can't be saved? Li Zhizao, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, has just been appointed by His Majesty as a Western consolation envoy, and set off for the south in Tianjin, preparing to go to Europe to comfort the western Thai countries. ”

Yang Xin said.

Li Zhizao has indeed set off.

In a month and a half, the Gegu shipyard built him three large cruisers with a displacement of 600 tons, but with reduced plank thickness, because it was a friendly visit, and the number of guns was also reduced to 36, and it also did not use short and heavy guns, that is, twelve-pounder guns and smaller, mainly to deal with the pirates that were bound to be encountered along the way.

Li Zhizao, who was the right attendant of the Ming Rite Department, was a Western ambassador and even gave Shang Fang a sword, with his devotion to faith and enthusiasm for pilgrimage, went to Europe at the age of 60.

Bring the greetings of the Ming Emperor to the people of Europe.

Accompanied by nearly 1,000 believers recruited from Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong, as well as John Tang and dozens of ecstatic missionaries, and nearly 100 Portuguese sailors, this huge mission was Gegu, which had left five days earlier, and it was estimated that it had already gone south from Dengzhou at this time and would soon reach Zhoushan.

"Don't work between the rivers, Xu is not interested in traveling across the ocean!"

Xu Xiake said.

Of course he knew about it, and the move also aroused the alarm of the Dutch.

After all, they were enemies with the Portuguese, and this time, in order to cobble together the mission, they also recruited a large number of believers in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the most devout believers were almost exhausted, and even the Dutch were shocked by the fact that there were so many believers of the old religion in this country.

There are signs of a thaw in relations between the Ming and the Vatican, which is not good news for the Dutch.

They had just established themselves in the country, and the soaring trade volume of the past few years had plunged the Dutch East India Company into a carnival, with a steady stream of goods shipped from the Yangtze River to Europe through their merchant ships, and then bringing huge profits. But if the Ming Emperor and the Vatican become friends, then the Holy See will certainly exert influence on them, finding ways to keep them out of the official list of trading partners, as it has done in the past.

Therefore, they are increasing their efforts to woo the Susong gentry.

Of course, Xu Xiake knows this.

"How do you know you're not interested? Why don't you give it a try? Imagine a waterfall that actually flows down 3,000 feet, a real 3,000 feet instead of an exaggerated description, a giant bird as big as an elephant on a distant island, a million wildebeest galloping across a river on a vast grassland, know the East African Rift Valley? It stretches for more than 10,000 miles, and the deepest canyon is nearly 1,000 zhang. ”

Yang Xin said in a seductive tone.

"Hejian Hou, let's get down to business!"

Xu Xiake hurriedly stopped him.

"Serious business, is there anything serious between us? Or is there anything serious to talk about between you, a child, and I, a marquis? ”

Yang Xin said.

Xu Xiake took a deep breath.

It is said that this is his deepest pain, although he is rarely comparable among the local gentry because of his perennial travel, and his knowledge is rarely comparable among the local gentry, so he was elected to command Chang Jiejun, but the identity of Tong Sheng is indeed the main weapon of those internal enemies attacking him.

O child!

Forty years old!

"Hejian Hou, this is the order of the Nanjing Military Department."

He placed a document directly on the table in front of him.

Yang Dudu smiled and put Shang Fang's sword on the table.

"Why should I pay attention to the orders of the Shangshu of the Nanjing Military Department?"

He said.
