After the northern wall was breached by the Great Zhou army, Han Shizhong and Wang Yu immediately invested most of the ordinary soldiers, and with the support of a large number of bed crossbows, trebuchets, bows and crossbows, fierce fire oil tanks and firearms, they fought street by street and house to fight with the soldiers of the Fangla army.

The official army had an overall advantage in the city of Hangzhou, and constantly pressed the power of the Yongle Dynasty to the south.

The soldiers of the Fang La army were not desperate, but they could only slow down the advance of the Great Zhou army with the flesh and blood of elite soldiers. The national strength of the Great Zhou Dynasty has finally been well reflected.

The gap between ordnance and money is too great......

Han Shizhong and the others were naturally happy to preserve the elite troops. The two of them let the wounded soldiers rest well, and also transferred some of the elite back to ensure the smooth flow of supply lines.

In early July, because of his firm support for the Great Zhou Dynasty, Fanshang not only donated more than 2 million yuan of military funds, but also handed over the elite Arab horse team that had been trained by the Great Zhou Dynasty to the Great Zhou government for mobilization, and was finally allowed to do business on the shores of Taihu Lake, which was relatively safe while the war was not extinguished.

The dedication of elite horses has worked well. Pu Shou finally got his wish and took charge of the Quanzhou City Bo Division!

As the news of the invincibility of the Arab warriors on the battlefield and Pu Shou's command of the Quanzhou City Bosi spread throughout the Great Zhou, the status and fame of the Fanke Huihui were greatly improved.

They were in high spirits, and after coming to Jiangnan, they bought a lot of smart and handsome young men and women. Then let the boys and girls sign the deed of sale, take them to Quanzhou and other places, and even bring them back to the crescent world.

Boys and girls are not the main purpose of the meniscus. They paid a heavy price to obtain the qualification to trade in Jiangnan during the war, mainly by:

Silk, tea, and porcelain, which were particularly cheap during the war, as well as calligraphy and paintings, antique artifacts, and some books that were hard to come by.

If they can take the opportunity to get some masters who make fine porcelain, some silkworm seeds, some mulberry seeds, and some tea seeds, then their generations of descendants will not have to worry about food and clothing!

In fact, as long as you can get the full set of silk weaving technology of the Yanhuang Land, there is no problem in building a country and becoming dominant in the crescent world.

The meniscus merchants controlled most of the sea routes, but they could only exchange a large number of gold and silver, agate, ivory, carpets, gems and other precious items for the three major pieces of the Brilliant Great Zhou, and the depression in their hearts can be imagined.

How did porcelain come about? Burned with clay! How did the tea come about? Planted in the land! How did silk come about? Silkworm baby vomited!

"It would be nice to have a random set of key technologies and produce them in large quantities in the Crescent World......

"Why is there a stable ruling institution in the semi-civilized land of the Great Zhou? Why are these heretics so intelligent? How are they not like the wild people on the islands of the South Seas? ”

"Be a good savage, just eat and give birth, and don't engage in any knowledge, etiquette, and skills. Wouldn't it be good to listen to the wisdom of the one true God and offer all the good things? Damn infidels! ”

There are few of their own people in the big family who really want the other houses to be rich, educated, and cultivated, and jealousy and hatred are everywhere, not to mention the crescent moon merchants whose clothing, appearance, writing, and customs are very different.

The crescent moon merchants who settled in the Great Zhou, that is, the return of the fans, really wished that the Great Zhou would become an indigenous tribal alliance like the Nanyang Islands.

There is no Wenhua, no loyalty, no construction technology, no clothing classics, this is the big week they want!

In that case, they would only have to pay a small price to enslave tens of millions of people and exchange a few pieces of glass for all the good things. And most importantly, to spread the blessings of the One True God, and to leave an indelible mark on the earth!

However, the Great Zhou Treatise on teaching and wealth was at the top of this era. The "strange tricks" of the Great Zhou are no weaker than the crescent moon world in its heyday.

Therefore, the meniscus merchants could only obediently obey the instructions of the Great Zhou government, and use various means to curry favor with the nobles of the Great Zhou Dynasty and reduce the hostility and vigilance of the Great Zhou people towards them. Fortunately, the Great Zhou government attached great importance to their role, and the Confucian literati were extremely friendly to them.

"Didn't get anything at all?"

Pu Shou was dressed in the official uniform of the Great Zhou, looked at the dozens of letters on the table, and asked his eldest son Pu Gengxun strangely.

Pu Gengxun was very depressed, but he tried his best to control his temper, and said with a red face: "I haven't got any tea seeds, tree seeds, and silkworm seeds!" ”

"The only person who provided us with a master porcelain master was killed in one night!"

"Lowly and filthy heretics, ignorant of the great Zhou slut who does not know the one true God. They call us the Great Cannibal, the Fanke Hui or the Crescent Man, and they don't treat us as their own! ”

Pu Shouxin said that porcelain and silk tea are the fundamental lifeblood of the Great Zhou, and the price is more than gold in the crescent moon world and the heavenly world, and it is strange that it can be easily taken away! Looking at the handsome but irritable eldest son in front of him, he was quite disappointed in his heart.

At this time, a servant bent down and handed over a secret letter from a high-ranking official of the Great Zhou Dynasty to Pu Shou.

When Pu Shou saw half of it, he broke out in a cold sweat. He adjusted his breathing and said loudly to his eldest son:

"Let the people of the One True God stop all movements, right now!"

The unfathomable industrial and commercial forces in Jiangnan may not account for boys and girls, and for antique cultural relics, but when it comes to the fundamental lifeblood, who really touches and who dies!

In some respects, the Crescent Moon merchants were more aware of the terrible power of industry and commerce in Jiangnan than the Great Zhou Dynasty.

They could only reluctantly stop their small movements and retreat to find Yongle Chao to smuggle this time, but found that this road could not be followed.

The Crescent Moon merchants wanted to exchange medicinal herbs, spirits, and cloth with the Yongle Dynasty, which was on the verge of the end, for what they wanted, but they gained little. Because Li Yifu's people have been doing this!

The time entered the middle of July, and Fang Lajun retreated to the south of Hangzhou City to survive. The smuggling between the Nanshan Fort forces and the Yongle Dynasty flourished in such a situation.

Craftsman, arithmetic, clerk, langzhong, storyteller, boat runner, reader, children's voice, showman...... People with different specialties have different prices according to their abilities and ages.

Antiques, cultural relics, calligraphy and paintings, etc., it is enough for Nanshan Fort to swallow some, and no matter how much money there is, it will not be able to turn over. Fang La had no choice but to order these things to be traded with other people.

Li Yifu attaches the most importance to books, especially the full set of official engraved books, so Fang La deliberately raised the price of some books to exchange them for some necessary things on the way.

One evening, Zhang Yongnian and Ding Shihang were traveling offshore with a boatload of famous doctors and rare books, and were suddenly robbed by two boats returning from Fanke.

Zhang Yongnian and Ding Shihang put on bamboo paper armor and iron helmets, and let everyone use big shields to resist each other's arrows, stones and fireballs.

"You can't kill me, you don't dare to kill me. I am the only true God's people, protected by the great officials of the Great Zhou! ”

In less than half an hour after the battle, Zhang Yongnian put his knife on the neck of a bearded man. The bearded man emphasized his identity inwardly, counting on Zhang Yongnian and others to let them live in the Great Zhou Mansion.

It's a pity they messed with the wrong people......

Zhang Yongnian calmly wiped the knife on the bearded corpse, and said depressedly: "Grunt, I don't know what you're talking about." I wanted to rob our proprietor of something, and I killed a few brothers of Lao Tzu, what else is there to say. Something is wrong with the brain......"

A scream came from another ship not far away.

Zhang Yongnian clearly saw Ding Shihang cut off the head of a crew member dressed as a big Zhou, and then pointed to the next one. The dozens of people who were tied up collapsed directly, whether it was the Da Zhou people or the Fanke back, they all shook their heads and begged for mercy.

Moments later, the two dhows, which had been killed after the robbery, leaned together.

Ding Shihang jumped over the boat gang quickly, wiped the blood from his face and said:

"It's a bit of a problem. It must be some people in Jiangnan who are instigating it, otherwise how could these meniscus mongrels find us?! ”

"They're here for the craftsmen and the books. Damn, Fang La can't control his subordinates, the weight of the spy is not light! ”

"What should I do?"

Zhang Yongnian smiled, revealing a mouthful of crazy white teeth, "What else can I do?" Since there will be trouble if you stay, then you will not do anything. ”

"Leave a few tongues that give the most explanation, and all the others will be tied to the boat, and the ship will be scuttled and sunk a hundred! Their canvas and cables are interesting, take them off and give them to the proprietor, maybe the proprietor will like it. ”

"Makes sense, just do it!" Ding Shihang nodded in agreement. He and Zhang Yongnian are both representatives of outstanding young people in Nanshanbao, and their form and style can almost represent the younger generation.

The two ships slowly sank into the sea. Ding Shihang and Zhang Yongnian didn't care about cherishing the boat, and Zhang Man's sail quickly returned to the officer.

The officials didn't dare to comment on the way Ding and Zhang acted, because Qinling Mountain Yong was one of the few taboos for the proprietor!

The official only frowned and pondered for a while, then wrote a letter to contact, asking the Nanshan Fort people who had not yet left Jiangnan to be careful, and to sort out and hand over the information they had collected about the Crescent Moon Merchants. He didn't take this matter too seriously, and after stamping the letter, he called Yuan Renyu in to inquire about the appeasement of the newly recruited women.

Only two days apart, Pu Shou, who had lost his face in front of the crescent moon, used the center wolf pen to write three big characters on the snow-white rice paper: Li Yifu.

"Where did Li Yifu get the Arabic numerals, which are better than those improved by the sages of Baghdad? Where did you get the pinyin literacy method to have so many connections with the Greek city-states and Latin? If he really learned it from a Taoist priest, could that Taoist priest have traveled to the Crescent Moon World and the Heavenly World at the same time?! ”

"These deeply hidden people in Jiangnan are so terrible, they just came back at the slightest offense. Forget it, it's nothing to get married to Li Yifu, the two sides are separated by five or six thousand miles of water......"

From Zhenjiang to the west, follow the Yangtze River to Jingzhou City. Then from Jingzhou City to the north along the waterway to Xiangyang-Danjiangkou-Xunyang-Mingyueji, and then from the mountain road controlled by Nanshanbao to go deep into the Qinling Mountains, is where Li Yifu is now.

Li Yifu stayed at Shanyang Pass for two days. From Shanyang Pass to the north, you can reach Shangluo Town through the mountain road, and you can reach Shangnan Town by walking through the ravine to the east, and there are Great Zhou garrisons in both places.

"There should be a pass, a village, and a garrison here!" Li Yifu said.

The proprietor adhered to the control line of the Great Zhou Mansion and headed eastward, preparing to return to Nanshan Fort from the extremely dangerous Black Tiger Village. During this period, Zhang Wanli and others hurriedly carried out a series of changes, and Zhao Bo, Cheng Jianghai and Na Shusen hurriedly completed the reorganization of the private team.
