Chapter 46 Talking about the heart
While Lin Renzhao was thinking, the door was suddenly pushed open, and Chen Tie walked in again.
Lin Renzhao heard the sound of the door opening and couldn't help asking, "Who?" ”
"Huzi, it's me." Chen Tie said, with a hint of surprise in his voice.
Lin Renzhao propped himself up a little strangely, glanced out the door, and saw Chen Tie supporting Yang Lian and slowly walking in.
"Renzhao, how is your health?" Yang Lian asked slowly, after walking for a while, he felt that his physical strength was very exertional, and his forehead was full of sweat.
Lin Renzhao hurriedly sat up with difficulty and said, "I'm fine, I will have no problem after a few days of rest at most." ”
"That's good." Yang Lian said, sat down with the support of Chen Tie, gasped for a while, Yang Lian smiled bitterly, and said, "I didn't expect that this time here, I almost capsized the boat." More than 30 people went to the Han Dynasty, and now there are only a few people left, which is my fault. ”
Lin Renzhao shook his head and said, "This time it's Wu Yue who is too cunning, and this revenge must be avenged." ”
Yang Lian nodded and said: "Wu Yue people calculated that we would wait this time, this revenge will naturally be avenged, I am wondering, since an alliance has been formed with the Han Dynasty, is the time ripe to attack Wu Yueguo?" And this time, we found an excuse to use troops against them. ”
Lin Renzhao frowned and said, "This incident is indeed the best excuse. However, how to convince the Tang Dynasty is a problem. ”
Yang Lian gently tapped the soft couch and thought. Chen Tie poured two cups of tea, one to Yang Lian and one to Lin Renzhao. Yang Lian held the fragrant tea in his hand, took a leisurely sip, and said, "In fact, in the past few years, the treasury of the Son of Heaven has been very depleted. ”
Lin Renzhao sneered and said: "The Son of Heaven is so happy, he likes gorgeous things, he is a Moke Sau, in the past two years, he has built a lot of buildings in the imperial city, and the cost is indeed very large." Nowadays, Datang seems to be prosperous on the surface, but in fact, in the Lianghuai and Jiangdong areas, which have always been rich, many people buy and sell their daughters, which can almost be regarded as a poor livelihood. ”
Yang Lian glanced at Lin Renzhao with some surprise, although he knew that Lin Renzhao was a Fujian and that the Fujian Kingdom was destroyed, he didn't have much of a good impression of Datang, but now it seems that Lin Renzhao's attitude towards Datang is indeed not good.
"It is precisely because of this that if I tell him, I am willing to make a military order and take Suzhou. You must know that Suzhou has accumulated a lot of wealth after more than ten years of operation by Qian Yuanhui and Qian Wenfeng's father and son, and Suzhou has always been the land of fish and rice, very rich, and the taxes must not be low. Yang Lian said.
"However, Qian Wenfeng and his son have been running Suzhou for many years, and the defense is extremely strong, and the Wuyue people have fire oil to help them fight, so it is so difficult to break through Suzhou." Lin Renzhao said. Starting from Yang Wu, Yang Wu and his successor Li Tang launched several attacks on Suzhou, but in the end they were still in vain, and even the old fox like Xu Wen had no way to take Suzhou.
Suzhou City can survive decades in the hands of Qian Yuanhui and Qian Wenfeng, in addition to the fact that the two of them are indeed capable, lead the troops well, and have proper defense facilities, there is another important reason, that is, they don't know where to get a kind of fire oil, which burns with great power.
When the two armies fought, the defending side would generally use stone and wood and other things, and sometimes the night pot used fire oil, which was mostly vegetable oil or animal oil, and the quantity was not much, mainly used at critical moments. Therefore, when fighting, the power is not great, after being used once, there is not much left, and the besieging side can still continue to attack the city as long as it adjusts slightly.
However, Wu Yueguo's fire oil, I don't know where to get it, there are a lot of them, they burn, and they are more powerful than ordinary fire oil, with the help of this fire oil, the Qian father and son have successfully guarded Suzhou for decades. Yang Lian once guessed that this kind of thing was the oil of later generations, but he had never seen it, so he could only guess.
In his previous life, even if Yang Lian had a bad geography, he knew that there was no possibility of oil exploitation on the southern continent - as for the seabed, it would still be difficult to mine it in later generations, let alone in this era. In this way, there is only one possibility.
Most of the territory of Wu Yue is bordered by the Tang Dynasty, and the southern part is bordered by the original Min State, and the area of Min Country has complex mountains, so that Wu Yue Kingdom and other countries mostly rely on sea transportation for business, Yang Lian guessed that these hot oil may be obtained from trade with Arabs in the West.
Yang Lian thought about it, and made a decision in his heart, Wu Yue people can get fire oil, and Datang can naturally do it. In terms of shipbuilding technology, Datang's level is not inferior to Wu Yueguo. The naval divisions of the two countries are equally powerful, if the Tang Dynasty can suppress Wu Yue later, and then use the naval division to seize the essence of the coastal areas of Wu Yue Kingdom, the situation will become more powerful for the Tang Dynasty, and the role of Suzhou as a front line will also be greatly reduced. Taking a step back, even if it can't seize the coastal areas of Wu Yue Kingdom, it can at least play a role in harassment, making the Wu Yue people defenseless.
After figuring out this section, Yang Lian already had an idea in his heart, after returning to Jinling, he would persuade the Son of Heaven no matter what, and actively develop sailors, so as to advance by land and water and destroy Wu Yueguo. Where Wu Yueguo is located, most of them are the essence of the Jiangnan area, Suzhou, Huzhou, Hangzhou, Xiuzhou, Mingzhou, these places, can be said to be the land of fish and rice, if you get these places, business for a year or two, Datang's taxes will inevitably increase significantly, and grain production will also rise.
Lin Renzhao saw Yang Lian thinking, so he didn't bother him, Yang Lian thought for a while, and said with a smile: "There must be a way before the car reaches the mountain, and I am waiting for an opportunity to return to Jinling." ”
Lin Renzhao nodded, thinking deeply, after all, things change rapidly, sometimes it is planned, and it often changes, the two chatted for a while, and Yang Lian, with the support of Chen Tie, stood up. After saying goodbye to Lin Renzhao, Yang Lian went to see the others.
Counting Lin Renzhao and Chen Tie, this time there were only five people left of more than 30 people, which made Yang Lian sigh, seeing that the three of them were lying on the bed although they were weak, they were still in good spirits, as long as they recuperated for a while, they could be healed, Yang Lian comforted him with kind words, and then stood up and left.
Back in the house, Yang Lian felt weak, he had lost too much blood, his body was extremely weak, and he ran around for a while, he couldn't support it anymore, so he lay on the soft couch and slept again. This sleep was very sweet, and it was not until the beginning of the moonlight that Yang Lian woke up. When I opened my eyes, under the moonlight, by the window, a woman was standing there, looking up at the bright moon in the sky.
The moonlight is sprinkled, and the woman in white is like Chang'e in the Moon Palace, with indescribable beauty, the long black hair seems to have turned golden, and the golden step on her head shines with moving colors under the moonlight. raised his hands and feet, so that Yang Lian was stunned.
It wasn't until the woman turned around that Yang Lian came back to her senses.
"Are you awake?" The man spoke, but it was not Fu Marigold, but Mi Shiwei.
Yang Lian was slightly stunned, he thought it was Fu Jinzhan just now, but he couldn't imagine that he had misjudged it.
Mi Shiwei lit the candle, saw Yang Lian's slightly stunned expression, and couldn't help but say, "What, disappointed you?" ”
Yang Lian shook his head and said, "Miss Mi, where are you talking about this?" ”
"Humph!" Mi Shiwei snorted coldly, walked over, and helped Yang Lian sit up.
Yang Lian slowly stood up, Mi Shiwei had already prepared the well water, Yang Lian washed her face and rinsed her mouth again, and then asked, "When is it?" ”
"It's time." Mi Shiwei replied.
Yang Lian scratched his head, he couldn't imagine that he had slept for so long, and at this time, there was a gurgling sound from his stomach, which made Yang Lian quite embarrassed.
Mi Shiwei glanced at him and said, "You wait a while, the food is in the kitchen, and I'll bring it over." ”
Yang Lian nodded and said, "There is Miss Laomi." ”
Mi Shiwei looked at him in surprise, wondering why this person was getting more and more boring.
Yang Lian sat down, poured a cup of tea and drank it to himself, I am afraid that Jinling does not know about it, now it seems that it is necessary to let them know, but it has happened, and there is no need to rush for a while, write an excerpt tomorrow, and let people send it to Jinling as soon as possible.
As for the rest, Yang Lian also asked him to fight as much as possible, after all, these more than 30 people died at the hands of Wu Yueren, and they sacrificed their lives for the country, Yang Lian wanted to fight for more pensions for the dead soldiers, and the living also fought for as many benefits as possible. As a Shangguan, Yang Lian needs to care about his subordinates and make them live better.
When she was thinking about it, Mi Shiwei came in, holding a few side dishes in her hand, still steaming, thinking that she had just warmed up. Mi Shiwei put the plate on the table, put down two more steamed buns, and said, "You can't eat too much now." ”
Yang Lian nodded and said with a smile: "Is there any wine?" ”
"No, you can't drink right now." Mi Shiwei refused.
"Just a cup." Yang Lian said.
Mi Shiwei shook her head very firmly, Yang Lian looked at her helplessly, so she had to fill a bowl of chicken soup first and drink it slowly. After drinking the chicken soup, I slowly began to eat.
Mi Shiwei looked at him from the side, her expression was a little complicated, and asked, "What's the matter, the food is still appetizing?" ”
"Not bad." Yang Lian was talking as he ate, a steamed bun slowly disappeared, and his stomach was no longer growling.
Mi Shiwei suddenly smiled and said, "I made it myself." ”
"Miss Mi's craftsmanship is not bad, I don't know if that little husband will have this blessing in the future?" Yang Lian smiled slightly, picked up a steamed bun and ate it again.
The original shining brilliance in Mi Shiwei's eyes disappeared a little, and she said curtly: "What's the use of this?" I care about him, but he doesn't care about me. ”
Yang Lian looked at her with a smile and said, "The little prince of that family is so uninteresting, you tell me, I will carry a knife to kill him." ”
Mi Shiwei shook her head, sighed, and said, "How do you know how to fight and kill." ”
"In this troubled world, only with a hard fist can you not be bullied. You know this better than I do. Yang Lian smiled and eliminated another steamed bun, then gradually stopped and ate the dish slowly.
"Perhaps." There was a faint sadness in Mi Shiwei's words, and she didn't know who broke her heart? It's like the bright moon in the sky, which was bitten by a tengu and became incomplete again.
Yang Lian shook his head and said, "Miss Mi, although you are a woman, I think that if you really have a sweetheart, you might as well say it directly, you are a child of the rivers and lakes, and you don't need to be coquettish." Happiness is your own, and you must always strive for it. Yang Lian is not shocking, and he is endless.
"Really?" Mi Shiwei muttered to herself, her eyes were a little confused, perhaps, he was right. In this life, there are always things that need to be insisted on. (To be continued.) )
