Chapter 378: Quiet Thoughts, Seeking Three Beauties
In the Qianqing Palace, many of Li Nan's wives and concubines and followers of beautiful women gathered together to play mahjong.
A few months ago, the Song army besieging Jiaozhi and Dali retreated on all fronts, and all of them retreated to the state capitals on the Guangnan West Road to avoid the battle.
The Zhennan army, which had a large number of catapults and gunpowder, would not be difficult to capture these cities, but Li Nan decided to postpone the operation after thinking about it.
For the Great Song Dynasty in Tokyo City, Li Nan's blatant rebellion in Lingnan actually did not have much impact on them, anyway, this land of poor mountains and bad rivers has no output every year.
At present, the Song River, which is not far from the city of Tokyo, and Fangla, which occupies the main grain producing areas of Liangzhejiang Road and Jiangnan Road, are the henchmen of the imperial court.
Li Nan didn't want to attack Zhang Shuye for the time being, firstly, the people of Guangnan West Road disappointed him, and secondly, he was afraid of attracting the attention of the Song Dynasty.
After Zhang Shuye withdrew his troops, he really asked the imperial court for support from the Western Army, but... It has not been taken seriously at all, so it is only natural that there is no follow-up.
As soon as the external danger was eliminated, Li Nan immediately asked Kress to lead his troops to Dali, where he would support Lu Zhishen to clean up the mob instigated by the Duan family.
Taking advantage of the rare calm time, Li Nan took people to inspect Jiaozhi, Zhancheng and other places, and it can be said that after several years of development, both places have undergone earth-shaking changes.
The most obvious thing along the way is that the amount of jungle covering the land has decreased, and the roadside is full of large tracts of farmland and rubber forests, and the policy of deforestation seems to be working well.
Several new shipyards were built in Champa, because Li Nan had not obtained the corresponding technical information, and the warships of the Ice and Fire World and the Persian Empire were not too advanced, so now they could only build some wooden sailing ships for naval warfare.
The firearms arsenal in Qiyuan Prefecture is now starting to produce three-eyed firearms in large quantities, ready to be redressed for infantry regiments.
Several of the top craftsmen recruited from Tokyo City began to study large bronze firearms, but although the rudimentary weapons of this artillery have some power, they have many drawbacks, and they cannot be used in war for the time being.
After inspecting his territory, Li Nan brought Princess Jiaozhi Qinghua, who was placed in Thang Long City, to Guangyuan City, although she was only married to quell the Jiaozhi rebellion, but the matter has come to this point, and it is impossible for her to marry anyone else.
Princess Li Tianxin of Qinghua is already sixteen years old, perhaps because Li Nan destroyed the Li dynasty in Jiaozhi, she is timid and cautious every time she sees Li Nan.
Although Li Nan is an out-and-out lustful person, when he met this kind of little girl, he had no interest, and took her back to Guangyuan City with him, just to give an explanation to the people of Jiaozhi.
Now that the beauty of Zhennan's palace is finally gathered, Li Nan is drinking flower tea, leisurely watching his women playing, and his heart is full of joy.
After Pang Qiuxia had just won hard, she suddenly saw Li Nan drinking tea alone on the soft couch, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and hurriedly called Xiaohong to replace her.
Pian Ran came to Li Nan and sat down, Pang Qiuxia asked in a coquettish voice: "Official, why don't you play with us, what are you thinking about here alone?" ”
"I haven't had any adventure world to go to recently, and Song Jun on Quang Nam West Road doesn't have any challenges, so I feel a little bored, so I want to go out for a walk."
"What?" Hearing this, Pang Qiuxia suddenly said unhappily: "You haven't been back for a long time, and you want to leave again, is our sister so annoying to you?" ”
"Hahaha......"
Li Nan laughed and pulled Pang Qiuxia over, gently kissed her delicate cheek, and after seeing the shy appearance of the beauty's red face, he said: "Those who were sent out to find Ludia's three daughters have not sent back useful news, so I plan to take someone to find it myself." ”
Hearing Pang Qiuxia's exclamation just now, all the women who were playing cards came over curiously.
After hearing Li Nan's plan at this time, Hu Bing, who had recently been nourished and became more and more beautiful, said: "Officials value love and righteousness, and it is normal to worry about their safety, but now that the Song army occupies Guangnan West Road and has not left, if you leave, what if something happens?" ”
Huang Cai'er, the side concubine from the Gu clan, also said: "Lord Wang, you are one of the people who the Song Dynasty wants to get rid of the most, if you have any mistakes, then what should we do?" ”
Li Nan's risky plan was opposed by all the women present, Pang Qiuxia and other wives and concubines were worried about his safety, while followers such as Ruiwen and Shiranui were even more worried, because if Li Nan died, they would all die together.
The women chattered around him to dissuade him, Li Nan was dizzy from being fired, and hurriedly said: "Stop!"
When these women gradually quieted down, Li Nan breathed a sigh of relief and slowly explained: "This time, I plan to travel secretly after disguise, so you don't need to worry." With Ruiwen pretending to be me in Guangyuan City, no one can see through it, and no one can guess that I went to Song Realm. Besides, you don't know how good I am. ”
After getting along for so long, Li Nan's character and the women also know more or less, and they have all said words of dissuasion, since he insists on going to Song Realm, although he is unwilling, everyone is helpless.
Seeing that although the women no longer objected to taking risks by themselves, but their pretty faces were unhappy, Li Nan smiled and said, "Why, one by one, you still have to show me your face." ”
Pang Qiuxia said angrily: "The prince has just been arbitrary, and our sisters don't dare to be angry. ”
"Oh, Xia'er's little touch is likeable, hahaha."
Li Nan looked around at the various beauties around him, laughed and said, "Except for Xiaohong and Xiaolu, don't leave at night, I'll help you dissipate your anger." ”
"Faint King!" When Pang Qiuxia heard Li Nan say such shameless words, she suddenly said with a smile on her face.
"Master, can you really handle so many sisters?" This is the voice of Shiranui Mai with suspicion.
"Lord Wang, this... It's not good. Princess Qinghua Li Tianxin said timidly.
Seeing the shyness and beauty of many beauties, Li Nan couldn't help but laugh......
Needless to say, the night was full of spring, and the next day Li Nan began to prepare for a secret trip north.
After Li Nan left, all matters in the territory were handed over to Pang Qiuxia, Lu Zhishen and Hu Bing to decide.
Since there are three people in power, even if there is a difference of opinion between them, it can solve the problem.
The Demon Maiden Raven wants to stay in Guangyuan City and pretend to be Li Nan, Asha and Artemisia want to expand and train the Champa navy, Spartacus and Kress want to train the army to use firearms, and everyone has their own things to do.
After some selection, Li Nan chose Ashur, who was familiar with the Great Song Dynasty's trade routes, Hattori Hanzo, who was good at stealth assassination, Miranda, who had unique interrogation skills, and of course, Zhang Hao's 100 Wang Zhi's guards equipped with firearms to protect him.
Raven's natural ability is to transform into all kinds of people, so she usually delves into other people's speech tones and body appearances.
This time, in order to make Li Nan's image different from the past, in addition to letting him grow a long beard, he also taught his own amazing skills, which are comparable to the makeup techniques of the island country, to Miranda, who accompanied him.
After the two girls dressed up, Li Nan's image changed greatly, and he couldn't recognize himself anymore when he stood in front of the mirror.
The long-distance journey must have a suitable identity, so this time Li Nan and the others still pretended to be maritime merchants from Qiongzhou, and sold glass mirrors made by craftsmen from the Ice and Fire World.
Since ancient times, the mirrors in China are mostly made of copper, although they can also shine on people, but after all, they are not clear, and they have to ask craftsmen to polish the mirrors for a long time, and the glass mirrors from Europe will appear in the Ming Dynasty.
The three horse-drawn carriages, equipped with rubber wheels and shock-absorbing equipment, were loaded with glass mirrors of various sizes and various shapes of glass, which were never before sold in the city of Tokyo, and would have been comparable to the pace of money grabbing.
If you want to go to Songdi, you have to go through Guangnan West Road, Li Nanyi is bold, and it is also for testing, so the first stop is Qinzhou City, which Zhang Shuye led his troops to garrison.
