Chapter 452: Brothers Gather

August 12, 2nd year of the Great Song Dynasty (964 AD)

At noon, Zhao Zizhong and Boris were discussing things, and a beautiful figure suddenly broke into the headquarters.

"Big brother, you guys are so uninteresting, such a fun thing, don't tell me in advance, I'm angry!"

Zhao Zi looked at the angry woman, shook his head and smiled bitterly:

"Sister, you are still in such a hurry, where did I offend you?"

Wei ~ Hongye and Cui Daoshu, who followed behind, glanced at each other and smiled helplessly.

"You just offended me, if it weren't for the pigeon letter from Shushan Island, we wouldn't have known about it in the Ryukyus, and you would have made such a big battle. Big brother, you are so majestic, even Wu Yueguo was destroyed, and you also caught the lord of the country, Qian Hongyu, you are amazing, little sister, I really admire you. ”

"I don't dare to be it, I really don't dare to be a compliment to my sister. Hongye, why did you and Daoshu come here? Zhao Zizhong asked.

Wei ~ Hongye said with a smile: "After I received the pigeon letter from Qishan Island, I was surprised, so I came directly to Hangzhou City with two warships and more than 300 guards. I'm really worried about you, what you did this time is really scary! ”

Cui Daoshu also explained: "I just returned to Qishan Island from Yangzhou, and I knew about it. Immediately followed by the convoy.

The first fleet to return to Qushan Island frightened everyone, and everyone rushed to transport it for a day and a night before they transported all the gold and silver treasures and silk and silk into the warehouse. Many people were so tired that they slept directly in the warehouse, surrounded by expensive silk and satin, and everyone was just covered with quilts. ”

"Haha," the brothers laughed, and Boris asked:

"Old Seven, have you finished everything in the Great Song Dynasty?"

"When I was done, I handed over the last batch of weapons and military supplies to the officials of the Great Song Dynasty in Yangzhou, and I received a letter from you, saying that you were going to Shamen Island to rescue Du Dalei and Li Jilong, and I immediately took people and slipped away. I went to Jinling City by the way, and I only returned to Qishan Island yesterday. ”

"What's going on in Jinling?"

"There is no problem, our products are selling very well in Jinling City, Zhang Renyao and Han Xizai urged the officials of the Southern Tang Dynasty to desperately mine Nanshan iron ore. Li Yu continued to live a life of drunken dreams and death, that is, Emperor Zhou E was seriously ill, and it is estimated that he is about to hang up. ”

Zhao Zizhong and Boris glanced at each other: "You send Pang Xu and Wang Minglong brothers to Jinling City." It seems that we have to act sooner, otherwise Emperor Zhou E will not last long. ”

Boris agreed, and Cui Yinger asked puzzled:

"Big brother, what are you talking about? What happened to Emperor Zhou E? Which one are you going to make trouble again? ”

Zhao Zizhong and Boris diverted the topic and talked to Cui Daoshu. Wei ~ Hongye pulled Cui Ying'er to the side and whispered in her ear for a while, so Cui Ying'er didn't ask.

In the evening, the seven brothers got together for a drink.

"Hey, it's not easy, it seems like we brothers haven't drunk together for a long time." Wei ~ Hongye said.

"yes, it's not easy. Think about this time the year before last, in addition to Lao Qi, the six of us were still hanging around in Nagada in the northeast. Du Dalei gnawed on his big elbow and said vaguely.

"In the past two years, everyone has worked very hard, and they have created a foundation through hardships, and this time they have brought down the city of Hangzhou and captured the lord of a country. Now that I think about it, I'm afraid, tell me, why was I so impulsive at that time, and I dared to attack Hangzhou City with more than 2,000 people? Did the brain let the donkey kick? Zhao Zizhong sighed.

Everyone laughed, and An Dalang raised his wine glass and drank it all, "Brother, you don't have to blame yourself." At that time, Lao Du and I instigated you to do it, and Boris was also beating a side drum next to him. ”

Na Zhe interjected: "A few of you are militants, Lao Wei and Lao Qi were not at home at that time, I was alone, and I didn't have any supporters." As a peace-loving person like me, I will not listen to any persuasion I will give you, and I must send troops to take revenge. Now that you've come to your senses, you're scared, right? ”

Boris said solemnly: "The third brother is right, we are a little impulsive. The next time you send out troops, you must have a careful plan. But now that I think about it, although this time the troops were hasty, the results were huge, and they avenged the brothers who died in the battle, which is what a manly man should do! ”

"Well, that's great!" An Dalang's blood was surging and he screamed.

Du Dalei also coaxed: "Yes, what Xiao Liuzi said is right, a man should be ruthless, whether it is to himself or to the enemy." ”

Na Zhe pouted: "A group of martial artists, not peace-loving at all. ”

Zhao Zi saw that Du Dalei was about to quarrel with Na Zhe again, so he hurriedly stopped him.

"Alright, you're honest, and there's serious things to study. Everyone think about it, now that we have occupied Hangzhou City, what should we do next? Let's talk about it. ”

An Dalang immediately spoke: "Brother, why don't we take down Wu Yueguo's territory." You are directly the emperor of Wu Yueguo, and it's not bad for us to be a prince, hehehe. ”

An Dalang smiled stupidly, and when he saw that his brothers were shaking their heads, he asked:

"What, is there something wrong with what I said?"

"It's a big problem," Na Zhe said, "Da Lang, we have such a small number of manpower, we can't even occupy Hangzhou City, do you still want to occupy the entire Wuyue Kingdom?" This is no joke. ”

"Yes, yes, what Xiao Shi said is right, there are too few of us, and it is unrealistic to occupy Wu Yueguo." Du Dalei said.

Zhao Zizhong looked at An Dalang and said, "Da Lang, I'm not interested in being an emperor, so don't think about being a prince." I guess everyone doesn't want to be a prince. ”

"yes, it's not interesting to be a prince."

"It's just a little name."

"It's a boring thing." The brothers echoed each other.

An Dalang said helplessly: "Brothers, don't say it, can't I give up this idea?" Anyway, it's enough for me to drink wine every day, and it's not appropriate for this prince to be a prince. ”

"Then let's grab a handful and leave? And then return the city of Hangzhou to Qian Hongyu? That's too cheap for him, isn't it? What if people hold a grudge and have the strength in the future and seek revenge on us? Du Dalei asked suspiciously.

"No, I don't think Qian Hongyu can continue to be the emperor of Wu Yueguo. He must have hated us to death, and he will definitely seek revenge on us in the future. Na Zhe was a little worried.

The brothers looked at each other, and there was nothing good to do.

Cui Daoshu, who had not spoken, spoke: "Brothers, I have an idea, that is, to let Qian Hongyi, the assassin of Mingzhou, take over the position of the lord of Wu Yue Kingdom. ”

"Ah, is this possible?"

"Qian Hongyi is also the royal family of Wu Yue Kingdom, can he not hate us?"

"And Wu Yueguo's civil and military officials, as well as the gentry, can they accept Qian Hongyi as the emperor? What if they object? ”

"Yes, this is likely to cause a civil war in Wu Yueguo."

Cui Daoshu Wen Yan said: "The concerns of the brothers are very reasonable, but I have thought about it, Qian Hongyi is the lord of Wu Yue Kingdom, which is very beneficial to us, and I have the following reasons.

First, Qian Hongyi is very familiar with us, he was very blue-eyed to us when he was in Mingzhou and took good care of us, so he can win him over.

Second, we cured his lung disease with cephalosporin, so to speak, and saved his life, and he was very grateful to us.

Third, Qian Hongyi's character is very good, he is sympathetic to the people, and he is honest and honest, I think he can govern Wu Yueguo well, at least he should be stronger than Qian Hongyu.

Fourth, he and we have a common interest, I gave him the method of making spirits, and he opened a few winemaking workshops in Mingzhou, and the income is not bad, so Qian Hongyi is very happy. In addition, the sea salt business we cooperated with him also made a lot of profits in the Mingzhou area, and Qian Hongyi also hoped that we would supply him more.

Those are my reasons, and I thought I could give it a try. ”

The brothers all thought about it seriously, and no one spoke for a while, only An Dalang, a rough embryo, who kept drinking.

After a while, Wei ~ Hongye said: "Lao Qi's reason is very good, I think you can try." ”

Du Dalei also said: "I have also thought about it, and now there is really no better candidate than Qian Hongyi." It's just a big one, you should let Qian Hongyi try it. ”

Na Zhe was a little puzzled: "You all think that Qian Hongyi is suitable, but have you thought about it, can Qian Hongyi be willing to do it?" What if he doesn't agree? ”

Boris spoke: "I thought of a way, we can take Qian Hongyu, as well as his concubines, princes, and princesses away." There are also other imperial relatives who have not fled Hangzhou, and they are packed and taken away together.

Then we will negotiate with Qian Hongyi, I estimate that Qian Hongyi will definitely be afraid that we will hurt these royal families, and he should agree. ”

"What if he doesn't care about the lives of these people?" Na Zhe asked.

"Hehe, Qian Hongyi is not a ruthless person, and he cherishes his reputation very much. I don't think he can do anything righteous to kill his relatives. Cui Daoshu explained.

Zhao Zi thought about it again and said: "There is still one point that can be used, if Qian Hongyi is really a person who cares about the people, in order to prevent civil strife in Wu Yue Kingdom, he should agree to us and take over the position of the head of the country." ”

Wei ~ Hongye looked at everyone: "Now let's raise our hands to vote, if you agree to talk to Qian Hongyi, please raise your hand." With that, he raised his right hand.

Du Dalei, Cui Daoshu, Zhao Zizhong, Na Zhe, and Boris raised their hands one after another, and An Dalang saw that everyone had raised their hands, and they also raised their hands.

Du Dalei teased him: "Da Lang, you haven't drunk yet, do you still know how to raise your hand?" ”

An Dalang's drunken eyes were hazy, and his tongue was a few times bigger: "Hehe, the brothers have raised their hands, and I will follow suit, anyway, you won't let me suffer." ”
