Chapter 275: A Spy

"Have you all looked carefully, who else is there besides the people who sell the fabric?"

Zhang Hongfan looked at the corners of the cloth printed with the red words "Dabao Weaving Bureau", which was particularly eye-catching.

"Well...... There were some officers and soldiers who looked like guards, and they also carried long iron pipes on their backs. ”

The iron pipe is a musket, and Zhang Hongfan also understood that this was Zhao Rui's desire to ensure the safety of the field.

"Alright, you all go back!"

Thinking about the defeat in the war, and the other party also blatantly established a field, Zhang Hongfan's mood was not too good. But those women really don't open any pot.

"My lord, can we come and buy cloth in the future?"

"What kind of cloth to buy, hurry up, this is a combat area, no one is allowed to enter without permission!" Zhang Hongfan waved his hand impatiently and sent them away.

The change of role is quite uncomfortable, Zhang Hongfan still spent all his efforts to attack the city, but now the army he leads has become a military force to prevent the border.

Zhao Rui in Xiangyang City on the other side did not spend his mind on the war, but was worried about whether the Yuan Dynasty could accept this field.

The victory of Zhao Rui in the Xiangfan War to break the Yuan army can be said to be of far-reaching significance, and for the Southern Song Dynasty, which was afraid of Zhao Rui's forces, it was even more afraid to make any changes.

And Borkin, who is far away in Dadu, also has a clear understanding of Zhao Rui's power this time, saying that he is young or insufficient, but he really conquered Xiangyang, which means that Zhao Rui's military ability has surpassed the Southern Song Dynasty and has become a new force that cannot be ignored by the Yuan Dynasty.

Zhao Rui's protrusion is in a trance, isn't it going to fall into a situation where the world is divided into three points again?

At this time, the Dabaojiao, which was gradually growing in the hinterland of the Southern Song Dynasty, was also believed to be a force deliberately formed by Zhao Rui in order to disintegrate the control of the Southern Song Dynasty.

When Zhao Rui received the report explaining this matter, he couldn't help but become interested in this Great Treasure Sect, and the leader of this organization must meet him himself, so he will take advantage of the situation and ask for his permission, they should pay a naming fee.

There is no media in this era, if someone wants to ask clearly, Zhao Rui must clearly dissociate from the relationship, but now the people have acquiesced, and it seems that there is a tendency to cross the evil.

Zhao Rui's establishment of the field was reported to Dadu by Zhang Hongfan as soon as possible.

At this time, Borgin was losing his temper above the Golden Palace, and below were Ahri Hague and Liu Zheng, both of whom were their right-hand men, so Borgin was also the most disappointed in their performance.

"Your Majesty, you don't have to worry, I'm ready to fight again!"

Ahri Hague was also extremely aggrieved at this time, like before, when had he ever fought such a humiliating defeat?

"Well, what about Liu Zheng's opinion, how should we win?"

Although Emperor Yuan was dissatisfied, but the fact was already like this, his temper had also been released, and he would have to use them to fight in the future, what could he do.

It's just that Liu Zheng has always been resourceful, and Emperor Yuan still attaches more importance to Liu Zheng's ideas. The previous strategy of besieging Xiangyang was proposed by Liu Zheng, and Emperor Yuan implemented it, and it was obvious that the Song army was in chaos.

"According to the lower officials, it is better to have a temporary truce." Since Liu Zheng has invested in the Yuan Dynasty, he naturally has to think about the Yuan Dynasty, which may be misunderstood, but this is also the best way at present.

As soon as the words came out, the room was full of surprise.

Thinking about when did the iron cavalry of the Yuan Dynasty stop? Liu Zheng, why does he think so?

Everyone was still waiting for Liu Zheng's explanation, and Ahri Hague on the side couldn't bear it anymore, and he recalled what Liu Zheng said to him that day.

At that moment, Ahri Hague said coldly: "Liu Zheng, don't you want to say that the firearms are sharp, Zhao Rui is invincible?" Don't talk nonsense if you want to grow the morale of others and destroy your own prestige, is it possible that you have defected to the Song Dynasty again? ”

This is not undeniable, as if pushed into other camps, it will be brought over at any time to talk about things, which is the most taboo thing for Liu Zheng and other Song officials.

Above the court, their faces also changed suddenly.

"Watch the words!" Borgin glanced at Ahri Hague in public, but he had the same idea in his heart, since these Song generals can betray the Song Dynasty, then one day in the future, the Yuan Dynasty will not be able to do it, if they betray again, Borgin will not be surprised at all, but the necessary maintenance work on the face still has to be done.

After all, the Central Plains is vast and rich, and whether it is for conquest or management, it requires too many Song Dynasty officials.

Such a mind has been known to passers-by since Borgin ordered the division of people into four classes.

Feeling uncomfortable is uncomfortable, but Liu Zheng didn't show any abnormality, but his words were full of sincerity to express his heartfelt feelings for the Yuan Dynasty.

"I think that the results of Zhao Rui's current development of firearms have greatly exceeded our expectations, and now they have a lot more muskets, and there are also the kind of top-down artillery, which is even more unguardable. Even with the siege of an army of five or six hundred thousand, he easily repelled us, which is rare in ancient and modern times. Even, we need to defend against the possibility of Zhao Rui attacking north. ”

Liu Zheng was talking about the fact of the defeat and the ideas he had from it, although he was suspected of self-denial, but no one in the court felt that what he said was wrong.

It wasn't until this question was put on the table that the minds of the civil and military officials finally realized how terrifying Zhao Rui's huge ability was.

The current situation has long been planned in Borkin's heart, what Liu Zheng said is not much different from what he thinks, and he is really guarding against Zhao Rui at present.

Just as Borkin was about to make a summary, a military report from the north of Xiangfan happened to be delivered to the court.

"Huh...... Something interesting! ”

Borkin looked at it, and actually laughed out loud, and asked the guard to hand it to Liu Zheng, so that he could also take a look.

"Buying a field? Zhao Rui actually opened a field outside Fancheng! ”

Liu Zheng's surprised voice raised uncontrollably, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty heard it, and they were all equally surprised. When it was Lu Wende who played stinky chess and allowed the Yuan Dynasty to set up a field outside Fancheng, so the Xiangfan crisis was caused, Zhao Rui was doing something obviously wrong, what did he mean?

"Is this a provocation to us?" Ahri Hague easily thought of such a purpose, and looked a little resentful.

"It won't be that simple!"

Liu Zheng said again: "Zhao Rui is definitely not out of whims, he has already won the battle of Xiangfan, so there is no need to prove anything!" ”

After Liu Zheng finished speaking, he was immersed in thought, and Ahri Hague on the side was refuted by Liu Zhen twice, and said with dissatisfaction: "What do you mean? Is it possible to let Zhao Rui arrogantly open a field and let everyone in the world see the jokes of our Yuan Dynasty? ”

Liu Zheng's mind was racing, and he already had an idea at this time, but he regained his self-confidence again, and said confidently: "There is no joke to say, I think Zhao Rui opened a field, which is an opportunity for our Yuan Dynasty to take advantage of." One of the main reasons, why is Zhao Rui's firearms so powerful, if we get it in the Yuan Dynasty, wouldn't it be like a tiger? ”

The ministers below these words talked a lot, and even Borkin raised his eyebrows at this time, showing strong interest.

Yes, if you get the secret of Zhao Rui's firearms, wouldn't the Yuan Dynasty be invincible in the world, and there will be no obstacles?

Looking at everyone's reactions, Liu Zheng said unexpectedly: "So, Zhao Rui's field will be opened by him, not only will we not obstruct it, but we will also participate in it, he just wants to make money, and we are closer to the secret of firearms......"

Wow...... There was another discussion in the audience, but now everyone showed yearning for joy, obviously 100% in agreement with Liu Zheng's scheming, and even Borkin couldn't stop nodding.

Although Liu Zheng is a native of the Song Dynasty, he is really an indispensable talent of the Yuan Dynasty!

At this time, Ahri Hague finally came out of his simple thinking, and obviously saw the purpose of Liu Zheng's proposal, he was really for Dayuan, so far he was a veteran and couldn't help but feel guilty.

So Liu Zheng's proposal was approved by the Manchu Dynasty, and the news of the release of the field reached Zhang Hongfan's hands, and Zhang Hongfan didn't understand what kind of decision this was, how could there be a truce and trade?

However, Emperor Yuan's decision was not something he could repudiate, on the one hand, it opened the passage from the north to Fancheng, and on the other hand, it also conveyed to the nearby prefectures and counties that allowed free trade.

Before you know it, the field is gradually becoming lively.

In the past, only people from the neighborhood came here to buy fabrics, but they found that there was neither food nor drink, and there were not even latrines.

So some people with active minds spontaneously went to the market to sell some food.

At this time, Zhao Rui also saw the vitality exuded by the field, so he built a latrine at the downwind, and even built a teahouse for entertaining large merchants in the future.

The weather is gradually getting warmer, it is really the season when the willows are still in the willows and the grass grows and the warbler flies, Zhao Rui sat on the second floor of the teahouse, looking at the green plants that had just been planted by the river for a few days, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

At this time, the street outside was already bustling, and Zhao Rui even had the illusion of being located in the market, as if he had returned to the days when modern goods were sold for a while.

Looking up, in addition to the largest and most popular stalls selling cloth on the street, there are all kinds of small traders, and now there are all kinds of small vendors in the market, and now the food and clothing in the field can be said to be readily available, and the market that was originally just thinking about buying cloth once became the largest market in the vicinity, which is what Zhao Rui had thought of, but it will definitely not develop so fast.

The Yuan Dynasty must have recognized this field, and now there are more people entering the market from the north than in any direction.

Zhao Rui was distracted by the tea bowl, thinking that the sales of cloth had been good in recent days, but he had not yet looked forward to buying it from a relatively large merchant.

"Huh? Zhao Gong, bring up the person I am pointing at! ”

"Yes!" Zhao Gong saw which one it was, and hurriedly ran downstairs.

Zhao Gong didn't make much effort, and subdued the person with a few strokes, and then a few soldiers pushed a person with a big tie upstairs.
