Part 4 Crazy Against the Sky Chapter 4338 Soldiers are in the Lu Branch
Chen Yiyi shook his head: "Brother." It's not that I'm rejecting you plainly. My husband is a very well-behaved person. The free trade zone was exclusively enjoyed by Song merchants. This is the power that Song Shang bought with money. They refuse to involve others. How could my husband break the rules, if he really broke the rules. How can a businessman pay for the resale right in the future? Without their sponsorship. How could the navy buy new warships? Inspect and maintain trade ......
My brother said this. It's not that I don't help you. After the husband returned. Establish rules with one mind. Each yamen follows the prescribed procedures. It was the husband who had the heart to intervene. I'm afraid I can't get involved, you know. The scholars and doctors of the Great Song Dynasty were arrogant. The emperor's edict dared to be dismissed at will. The rules that the husband set for them. I repeatedly emphasized that I must abide by the rules. Wakafuro behaved inappropriately. I'm afraid no one listens. β
Chen Gongchuan asked unwillingly: "There is really no way." I have heard that many of the officials in the yamen are students who have left people. Don't you know a few? Give them a message in private. Can't they help? β
Chen Yiyi shook his head: "Fu Lang is now engaged in a special responsibility system. How much power does each official office have. He is responsible for everything. are clearly stipulated. That's where I found them. But there are governors overseas. Those governors were all drawn at the expense of merchants. Da Viet merchants participated in overseas trade. It's not one or two. Those Governors Ken. I'm afraid that the merchants of the free trade will be stiffened. The husband only dismissed them according to the rules. It's not easy. β
Chen Gongchuan sighed: "It's the dry season again. I don't know what the situation is in the country right now. But presumably the kingdom of Zhenla is about to invade again. Now the treasury of Da Viet is empty. The kingdom of Chenla is going to invade. I'm afraid that I can't even make up the military salary in the country. Younger sister. Do you really want to see the Great Yue Death Kingdom? β
Chen Yiyi was silent for a moment. Asked, "Brother." Today's Dayue. How does it compare to Guo Kui back then? Today's Great Song. How does it compare to Guo Kui back then? β
Chen Gongchuan was silent for a moment. Frustrated replied: "Guo Kui back then." The national strength of the Great Song Dynasty is no longer something that my little Jiaozhi can compete with. But Guo Kui's Great Song Dynasty. Compared to the current Great Song Dynasty. It's even more immeasurable. Guo Kui's Great Song Dynasty. It also makes people feel lucky. Now the Great Song. It can only make people feel hopeless. β
Chen Yiyi's face revealed a look of pride. The whole face glows with pride. said proudly: "Guo Kui used 200,000 troops back then. I've been with each other for years. However, we will occupy the five northern provinces of our country. My husband's talent. Ten times more than Guo Kui. He wants to come forward to kill me. Not more than 200,000 people. Two thousand are enough; It won't take more than a year. Twenty days is enough. Does my brother believe it? β
Chen Gongchuan has no temper at all. He replied depressedly, "Of course." Zhao Liren once demonstrated a hand to us back then. Now Dali in the upper reaches of the Mekong River is in his hands. At the mouth of the river downstream is Cam Ranh City. He's going to kill me. It doesn't take too many people. Send a thousand men from each upstream and downstream. You can go straight down the river to Thang Long Province. The more I want to live, the more I don't want to die. That's a fluke. β
Chen Yiyi replied firmly: "My sister is here." The husband will not make a move to destroy Da Yue. But my sister isn't there. Even Zhao Hai's child. It's not something my sister can control. If he intends to be the lord of Daviet. Presumably, the husband will only clap his hands and applaud. Two thousand people. There is no need for Da Song to contribute. It was the husband's family that gathered together. It's enough, too.
Brother. Daiyue still exists today. It's already my sister who is tired of maneuvering left and right. Kefujun has a bottom line in doing things. Once the sister crossed the line. The fall of Dayue was in an instant. Brother. Don't embarrass your sister. β
Chen Gongchuan was silent for a moment. He whispered two words: "Zhenla ......"
Chen Yiyi categorically vetoed: "My brother is not sober yet. My husband is a master who takes advantage of it. Now Cochin is surrounded by both north and south. If Jiaozhi invites her husband to intervene in the war. I'm afraid that Cochin will be surrounded on three sides. Chenla leads to Dali by land. My brother thought. The husband went to Zhenla. Will be willing to take a few small dollars. and he returned to the land which he had occupied. Taken over by Cochin? β
Chen Gongchuan gritted his teeth: "Sister." Zhao Liren intervened in the Zhenla war. I'm not dead in Vietnam, but Zhao Hai. Zhao Hai still has my Chen bloodline. I, Chen, originally came from Fujian. Now back to Fujian. It is also a way out. to the worst. Zhao Hai will not treat me badly Chen.
But if Zhao Liren sits and watches the success or failure of my toe and Zhenla. Jiaozhi died in Zhenla. I Chen died and there was no one to be buried. Since my sister can't make sense, Song Guo is open to me for sea trade. Then he asked the Song army to send troops to help in the battle. Assist me in defending my toes against real wax. β
Chen Yiyi nodded: "With my husband's temper." This request he will definitely agree to. My brother had a hard time. Go wash it first. Look at the time. It's time for my husband to bring the child back. My brother is disheveled. It's hard to see him. Let's go to the resettlement first. β
Chen Gongchuan arched his hand: "Please sister!" β
Chen Gongchuan took his leave and left. Soon. Zhao Xing led the child into the castle. Chen Yiyi stepped forward. Serve Zhao Xing's wide clothes. Then he massaged Zhao Xing's back with his little hands. Soft language introduction: "My brother is here." He came to report the funeral. Princess Lezhi died. Li Yuan was very sad. He and Le Zhi had no children. There was only one woman in the Li clan. Li Yuan was seriously ill. The people of the country panicked. It just so happened that the Jinla army invaded. What my brother means. I want to ask the Great Song Dynasty to send troops to help in the war. What are your plans? β
"Good thing!" Zhao Xing's eyes were shining: "Great thing!" Lezhi died. The Great Song Dynasty has no worries in Jiaozhi. If Li Yuan dies again...... You tell your brother. The only surviving princess of the Lee family wanted to marry. Marry my family Zhao Hai. This is the condition of my troops! β
"I knew you would say yes". Chen Yiyi pinched Zhao Xing a few times. Then he said worriedly, "So it is." Zhao Hai is afraid that he will stay in Jiaozhi for the rest of his life. I'm a mother. I was a little reluctant in my heart. β
Zhao Xing immediately replied: "Then let's have another one." I've been busy with outside stuff for just a few years. I don't care about my family. Idle now. Let's have another one. It's good to accompany you. β
Chen Yiyi took a sip. immediately took advantage of the situation and said: "Zhao Hairuo went to Jiaozhi." Whether overseas trade has an opening for Cochin. It's my kid after all. It can't be treated badly. β
"That's right. I can't treat my children badly. Anyone who has anything to do with my children. They can all be allowed to register in Guangzhou. I admit their identity as Song merchants. They were allowed to participate in the maritime trade of the Song merchants, which was called double nationality.
And so it goes. It won't be long. The wealthiest class in Cochin are all supporters of my children. They are also supporters of the Great Song Dynasty, and they are Song people. No doubt. β
Chen Yiyi cheered. The voice fell. There was also a cheer outside the door. Shuai Fan led an officer in a hurry. He waved a dossier in his hand as he walked. "Found it," he shouted. Got it. They finally found the water source. β
Zhao Xing winked. Chen Yiyi stood up. Suddenly retired. Wait for her to step down. Zhao Xing took the text from Shuai Fan's hand. Ask: "Where?" On the side of what? β
Shuai Fan replied: "It's two small towns." One was named Rufuha. The other is called Hadurshu. These two towns fit your needs. They are fifty to a hundred miles from the coastline. The authentic water source can hold 10,000 people for drinking water. Pity. There can only be 10,000 more than that. β
Zhao Xing checked the information in his hand. While saying: "Ten thousand people is enough." We can use three thousand musketeers. Plus 7,000 support staff. At all costs. can ensure that the advance and retreat are free. β
Shuai Fan smacked his lips regretfully. Answer: "Ten thousand horses." There can only be 3,000 soldiers. Let me think about it. Among the three thousand soldiers. It is to be armed with at least six thousand muskets. Set aside two thousand men as musketeers. Three guns per capita. Plus a thousand gunners. A thousand gunners could only operate a hundred cannons. More than 7,000 men, all armed with spears. Equipped with waist knives and handcuffs. Usually do auxiliary work. When fighting, take a spear into battle......
We were able to raise 2,000 men for supplies in the Gurkhas. Furthermore. At present, the newly reorganized Guangjie Army and Xuanyi Army can draw 1,000 people to participate in the battle. The soldiers of the Gurkha could serve as a reserve. And the officers drawn by Guangjie and Xuanyi can command those thousand people. My lord. Point soldiers. β
Zhao Xing shook his head: "Speaking of which." We have a lot of soldiers at hand. What can really be used for expeditions is not handy. The soldiers of Guangjie and Xuanyi did not have the tenacious will to fight. If you let them know that you are going to go on a long journey. I'm afraid they will start a mutiny first.
As for the Quang Nam Army. The southern soldiers are unbearable. The diminutive Quang Nam soldiers met the tall Seljuks. I'm afraid I'm going to collapse first. And the demon slayer entered the palace again. Can't pull it out......"
Shuai Fan sighed: "You mean." Originally, we were only worried that 10,000 men would be too small. But actually. We don't even have 10,000 people on hand. β
Zhao Xing nodded. Answer: "Only with the 1,000 Suzaku Army." In addition, the backbone of the army will be drawn from each army. Form an expeditionary legion. You guard Hangzhou for me. I'll do it myself. β
Shuai Fan frowned. I was trying to say something. Wan Qiyong led the Arab giant Pu Yi'an in. Wan Qiyong winked. Shuai Fan quietly stepped aside. The Arab merchant Pu Yi'an had a gloomy face. Bow to Zhao Xing: "Zhao Daguan." I wonder if my Lao Pu is qualified to continue to use this title? β
Zhao Xing stood up. A warm welcome on the side. While humbly, he said, "Where." You and I are friends in trouble. How could I see Brother Pu? β
"You're out!" Pu Yi'an had a calm face. While shaking his head. While complaining: "I want to be the beginning." You tempted me with an island. Just when our business is booming. I have been deceived by you. Went to Tamna Island. Now it seems. The biggest mistake of my life was believing in you.
Now look at you. You are one of the best generals in the Song Kingdom. Holding a quarter of the world's soldiers and horses in his hands. The whole of the South Seas trade is under your control. Every day the gold coins flow into a river. It's flowing to your house. I can't stop it. And me. You're a former business partner. Now just stuck on an unknown island. Daydreaming of the king.
Zhao Daguanren. You tell me the truth. Can I really be a king? Don't deceive me again with false lies. Tamna Island 24 percent. How much do you control? And how much can I control? Even if I have a chance to be king. I don't think it's a good chance. But even so. I am also a puppet in your hands. β
Zhao Xing slowly found a chair and sat down. He crossed Erlang's legs. Said slowly: "Pu Daguan." Can I be blamed for all this. It's your own choice. Moreover. You and I cooperate. When did I lose your share?
As a business partner. If I embezzle your share. You have the right to come to me and complain. But now. Did I embezzle?
Speaking of which. And what do you have to complain about. In your words just now, you called the land under your feet the Song Kingdom. But isn't your son the envoy of Quanzhou City in this country? Your son is an official of this country. But I don't hear respect for this country in your words.
Again. You and I are in completely different circumstances. The reason why I am where I am today. It's not the result of your efforts. It was given to me by the imperial court. I am a scholar and a first. Step by step, to get to the current position. During this period. What I have achieved should have nothing to do with you. So. No matter how different I am from your position now. You shouldn't complain. Because I still sincerely consider you a friend. And my present is not made by you.
Speaking of the difference between you and me. Did you go to Tamna Island? I'm not transferring the trade between Japan and Korea to you entirely. And I didn't get involved. Isn't that enough? I used all of Japan's relations with Goryeo. Open up business routes for you. You think I do. Not friends enough? β
Pu Yi'an's body trembled. The fat all over his body fluctuated in waves. He narrowed his eyes. He sighed deeply: "Lord Zhao." Why shy away from it? You know where my resentment comes from. Are you planning to attack my homeland now? Where did my mother grow up and use my people to find out the news for you? β
Zhao Xing pointed to Shuai Fan who was standing on the side. Calmly replied, "That's right." We are just deliberating on this. But you're not right. You say I have used your people. Pu Da Guanren. Remember. They have already joined the Great Song nationality. It is the people of my Great Song Dynasty. I am an official of the Great Song Dynasty. Your son is an official of the Great Song Dynasty. I assigned his men to inquire about the news of Arabia. Stand to reason. Pu Da Guanren. I ask you not to think that they are just your people. Those people were also subjects of the Great Song Dynasty. β
Pause. Zhao Xing asked again: "Pu Daguan." As a friend. I can give you a right to regret. Your son is currently running Quanzhou. The whole of Quanzhou has become the backyard of the Pu family. If you regret it. It is possible to return from Tamna. I'll trade you for an island in the South Seas. β
Pu Yi'an went to Tamna Island. Single-handedly manage the forces of Tamna Island. It was because of the fact that Tamna Island could control the trade between Goryeo and the Wa Kingdom. In his mind. The son remained in the country. With the support of Zhao Xing, Quanzhou Foreign Trade Port is operated. And he worked hard to run Tamna Island. And so it goes. The Pu family was able to completely control the trade between the Song Kingdom and the Goryeo and Wa Kingdoms.
But he didn't expect it. Although Zhao Xing abides by the agreement. No longer involved in the trade between Goryeo and the Wa Kingdom. However, Goryeo and Wa were deeply influenced by the culture of the Central Plains. I also like to stubbornly insist on "not my race." their hearts will be different". Although Zhao Xing does not interfere in the trade between the two countries. But businessmen from both countries came to China. But he only recognized Zhao Xing's family. This stubborn prejudice made it difficult for Pu Yi'an to open up trade between the two countries.
With the rise of Guangzhou Boshi. The trade in the South Seas is flourishing. Compare it to. The populations of Goryeo and Wa are small. The market capacity is limited. Therefore. These were two business partners at the beginning. Zhao Xing is advancing at rocket speed. Pu Yi'an is trekking hard at snail speed. Just a few years. The net worth of the two is no longer comparable.
Truly. As Zhao Xing said. The current situation. Pu Yi'an couldn't blame Zhao Xing. The people are born in the imperial examination. Half borrowed the power of officialdom. Half borrowed their own business. We've come to this point. And Zhao Xing's promises to him have been fulfilled one by one. He did through his own forces. The son of Pu Yi'an was drawn to the position of envoy of Quanzhou City. And never interfered in the affairs of Quanzhou. Let the Pu family run Quanzhou. In that sense. Pu Yi'an has come to this point. It's no wonder that Zhao Xing is to blame.
As for the use of the Pu Yi'an family to find out the situation in Arabia. Zhao Xing also said that it is reasonable, those people are now Song people. They worked for Song Dynasty officials. It is also to serve the country. Even if they are looking into the original "affairs of the motherland".
Pu Yi'an gasped for half a day. Answer: "That's it." If I were to Palembang. Will you give it to me? β
Zhao Xing nodded: "You want Palembang." I can give it to you! β
Pu Yi'an's eyes widened: "Then." What about Sri Lanka? β
Zhao Xing was furious: "Pu Daguan." Don't ask for more than you can handle! β
Pu Yi'an sighed deeply: "So to speak." Are you really planning to go to war with the Arabs? β
Zhao Xing replied categorically: "The knife has been sharpened." The sword is out of its sheath. At this time. You and I can't stop it......
But perhaps. You still have a chance. Go back to your hometown and be king. I know that Arabs live in tribal groups. Which piece of soil did you choose? I can clear the land of the natives for you with cannons and muskets. Support you as a tribal chief. I believe. In this case. You're more likely to build a nation. A country that belongs to your tribe. β
Pu Yi jumped up calmly. But right away. He sat down breathlessly again. Ponder for a moment. He replied without hesitation: "If so." My son ......"
Zhao Xing replied: "Your son is still a Song person. He's still my friend's son. β
Pu Yi'an was silent for a moment. Slowly, "Actually, you know. Our Arabic name is Ibrahim. If we can occupy a ...... of water in Arabia"
Zhao Xing added meaningfully: "Then." In the future, your son will be in the Song Kingdom. You are in Arabia. You can resell Arabian products to the Song Kingdom. And the Song Kingdom can pass you. Sell your goods to the whole of Arabia, and I can appoint you the Governor of Arabia. Sell all of the Song trade through your port. This is an official position that you can announce to the Arabs. It is also possible to just do things. Quietly. β
Pu Yi'an's eyes flickered. Answer: "Give me a few days." Zhao Xing immediately answered: "Your time is running out." We are planning to move our forces south. β
Pu Yi'an immediately stood up. Say, "When you go south." I hope you stay in Quanzhou. β
"Stay for one day. Stay only one day! β
Pu Yi'an nodded. Get up and take your leave: "I believe." You won't regret your stay for the day! β
After Pu Yi'an left. Shuai Fan asked curiously: "He asked for Palembang just now." How could you be willing? Gave Palembang to him. What about those of us businessmen? β
Zhao Xing looked at Pu Yi'an's back. Said slowly: "He can't take Palembang." That side has already begun to establish a system of self-government. He went as a governor. Can only be a puppet. β
Shuai Fan immediately asked again: "Then why." He wants Sri Lanka. But you won't? (To be continued.) If you want to know what will happen next. Please log in. qdancmγ More chapters. Support the author. Support genuine reading! )
