As soon as he saw the three words of the South Shore Army, Liu Chuanzhi immediately couldn't sit still, as the number one military leader in Annan Province, how could he not know the name of the South Shore Army. The fact that this army, which claims to be 200,000 people, has been completely defeated outside the city of Dongfang Port www.biquge.info this is enough to prove that what he saw in Dongfang Port during the May Day military parade was not a bluff, and people do have this ability.

Now that the people have the ability to defend Dongfang Port, and the army of 200,000 is powerless against them, what else can they do on their side? With the 40,000 or 50,000 people under the hands of Annan Province itself, they are simply filling in the gaps between the people's teeth, and even if they can get the emperor's holy decree to transfer "guest troops" from other provinces, at best they will only have 300,000 people.

He sat down on his stool and gasped for breath as he stared at the ceiling. This group of people has been here for more than half a year, and at first he received a report from An Yun, and he just thought it was an ordinary pirate landing and attack, and just ordered Zhou Jinfeng to defend An Yun and wait for the thieves to go. But this group of people not only didn't plan to leave, but actually started to build a city directly near the Beihaiwei beacon tower, this week Jin Feng threw three urgent documents a day to Beihai, but where did he Liu Chuanzhi not know his own catties? It's almost the same to bully and bully the common people, if you go to fight pirates, your combat effectiveness is really not as good as that of ordinary villagers.

Zhou Jinfeng finally made a move after half a month of distress letter sinking into the sea, and thousands of people under the Township Yonghui led by Liu Jiazhai and Ruan Shimin, a thousand households in the west of An Yun City, went to besiege the city built by the people in a short period of time, but they were defeated, and later had to negotiate peace with the pirates - this matter was obviously not authorized by himself, but he really didn't want to blame Zhou Jinfeng, because in addition to negotiating peace, An Yun had no ability to stop the invasion of these pirates.

But the imaginary invasion of the pirates did not appear at all, and they did not even pay for it, and the people only asked for the land for construction, and at the same time paid for the local people to work—and the money was quite generous. It was at this time that Zhou Jinfeng's emergency document came to an abrupt end, and with the efforts of these local people and the displaced people who followed, they actually established a city called "Oriental Port" between a barren beach and a dense forest.

A few months ago, Jinyi Wei Annan Qianhu Cen Min arrived at his post, and when he saw Zhou Jinfeng's emergency documents, he went to An Yun, and when he came back, he brought two big truckloads of "strange goods", and made a lot of money after he made a lot of money through the housekeeper in Beihai. These "strange goods" made the rich merchants of Beihai City flock to them, and they inquired about the source of these strange goods, and he Liu Chuanzhi knew that these were originally produced by the people in Dongfang Port. Cen Min reported to him that after occupying the Beihaiwei Beacon Tower, the Yan people had established a huge city nearby, which far exceeded the size of Anyun County. The people set up workshops in Dongfang Port, where they produced a large number of various rare and exotic seafoods, and even the Yaning strange goods that came from far and wide were not as good as a few of them.

These people are obviously business-oriented, they not only produce products, but also build a port in the Oriental Port, a large number of merchant ships wander around the port every day waiting to enter the port to purchase the goods produced in the city, all his goods are given to him by the people, let him take the North Sea to try the market, if he is interested, he is also welcome to come to the Oriental Port to purchase, but also for every merchant who comes to the Oriental Port through his introduction, will leave him a certain amount of pump.

After the Chinese New Year this year, the people of the Beard even directly claimed to be the founding of the country, what is it called "China", this matter naturally spread to Beihai at that time, at that time he was already counting a few thousand households of troops to prepare to go south to pacify this group of people, and even if it was not good, they would be frightened to abandon the city and flee. However, the plan can't catch up with the changes, and the thousands of households here are still making trouble, and there is not enough money to draw money, and their own troops can't bring it, so Zhou Jinfeng sent a lot of bandit heads. After inspection, these heads are all true, there is no good killing, and every head is worthy of the number, there are hundreds of them before and after, in addition to the heads, there are also a hundred and ten prisoners of bandit leaders, these captives are tied up and escorted directly from An Yun to Beihai, and many of them are wounded. After interrogation, the captives all recounted that they had been planted at the hands of the army of the Beards, who often approached silently at night and then attacked the city at dawn. Moreover, the army of the people is particularly good at long-distance raids, and can often march hundreds of miles in a night, silently appearing on their escape routes, chasing and intercepting them all the way, and there is no escape at all.

Although Zhou Jinfeng kept claiming that the bandits were all his own credit, he Liu Chuanzhi understood that this was the man who sold him Zhou Jinfeng's face. However, he also can't blame Zhou Jinfeng, it is a very cost-effective thing to kill thieves with thieves, the strategy of driving the tiger and devouring wolves is not what he Zhou Jinfeng is using, Xiong Wencan, who is far away in Fujian, also surrendered Zheng Zhilong, and used Zheng Zhilong to calm the chaos in Fujian, and was rewarded by the emperor. At present, the thieves have defeated and eliminated more than 10 bandits in Anyun in just one month, and the arrogant bandit leaders in the past have either been arrested and killed, or they have fled to the north and south of Annan with their bandits in fear, and the bandit problem that has been plaguing Annan Province has been easily eliminated by this group of unknown bandits.

In this way, he had no reason to attack the skull, so he sat back and waited for Zhou Jinfeng to report on the surrender of the skull. But he didn't wait for the surrender, but he heard Zhou Jinfeng report that he was going to participate in the "May Day Review" of the people. Liu Chuanzhi was taken aback at that time, if the pirate parade was usually heard, he would inevitably laugh at the pirates' monkeys and take the crown, but at present, this group of pirates who have eradicated An Yun's bandits in a month or so is definitely not a joke. In line with the purpose of reconnoitring the enemy's situation, he personally rushed to Dongfang Harbor with more than a dozen of his personal entourage on the eve of 1 May, and set up a restaurant to spy on the strength of the people.

After the May Day military parade, he Liu Chuanzhi began to feel hopeless about the extermination of the thief, the soldiers of the thief are all firearms, although they don't know the lethality of the geometry, but from the terrible wounds on the bandit prisoners, it can be seen that the power is absolutely extraordinary. In addition to the guns, there were also cavalry and cannons, which were far smaller in caliber than those supervised by Wang Zunde, the governor of Guangdong, but he could tell the difference between the two at a glance. The artillery body of the Wu Dynasty is irregular, the shape of the artillery body cast by clay mold is extremely irregular, and the bubbles produced in the casting cannot be avoided at all, sometimes the air hole of the small soybean and the size of the bowl can be directly seen on the gun body, even if there are many such cannons, they are often blown up as soon as the cannon is fired. The Wu Dynasty Shenji Battalion often scoffs at these "great generals' cannons", and will never be put into use unless it is absolutely necessary. On the other hand, the artillery he saw was smooth, the muzzle was neat, and at a glance he knew that it was well-made, and it was by no means something that could be made by those artillery factories in Zhaoqing, Guangdong. On the first day he arrived at the Oriental Harbor, he was not very impressed by the huge steel ship moored on the seashore on the first day, how could steel float on the water? This is probably a trick used by the Beard people to deter the Medeno people. But on the day of the May Day parade, he saw the ships of the Medeno people moving back and forth on the sea, and they were also cheering in the distance. Linked to the fact that this group of people are from the sea, could it be that they have a background in the Maidno people? Although the "real hairs" he saw on the castle tower were all Han faces, it should still have some face for the Meedno people to be able to make the ships of the Medenor people sail to the beach to fire cannons and cheer, right? As for the wooden bird flying in the sky, it didn't leave much impression on him, such a thing that can fly is nothing more than a trick and trick, and it definitely can't control the overall situation on the battlefield, and the matter of fighting still depends on the soldiers charging into battle in the end. However, in the eyes of his long-term military general, those soldiers who marched under the city wearing unified military uniforms and silently marched into the battle must be one as ten, and as far as the entire army of Annam Province is concerned, they will definitely not be able to deal with them.

Sighing again, he turned a page of Zhou Jinfeng's paperwork, and the things that followed made him excited, it turned out that the man was showing favor to An Yun. He couldn't help but sit up straight excitedly, and carefully read the contents of the letter, the Yan people were willing to buy the existing land in Dongfang Port, and they were also willing to pay a sum of silver and many "tributes" to the Wu Dynasty court to show the goodwill of the Yan people.

"There's a door!" Liu Chuanzhi couldn't help but sit down excitedly and read this passage carefully, and there was a list attached to it, and the people wanted to send a batch of "rare sea goods" to Beijing through the Beihai to show their respect for the Wu Dynasty, and also hoped that the Wu Dynasty would be able to treat China's relations correctly. Flipping back a little further, he couldn't help but be stunned, this was a piece of white paper with nothing peculiar, no different from the previous blank papers, he knew that this was the "standard paper" produced by the people, and he himself had it. However, there was a big seal on the paper, and if you look closely, it turned out to be the Great Seal of the Kingdom of Annam, the Emperor of South Annam, who was canonized by the Wu Dynasty.

Liu Chuanzhi couldn't help but pick up the piece of paper and look at it carefully, it turned out that Nam Annan suffered a coup d'état a few months ago, Hue was trapped, and the emperor was injured and fell into a coma and fled to Dongfang Port with the princess and the guards. Dongfang Port treated Ruan Fuyuan very well, and also granted the status of a veteran of Princess Ruan Jiao. Therefore, Nguyen Phuc Yuan passed the throne of Annan to Ruan Ji, who also authorized the eunuch to supervise the country a few months ago. Seeing this, Liu Chuanzhi couldn't help but gasp. The coup d'état in Annam, the fall of Hue, and the eunuch in charge of the country, the meaning of this is already very clear, and the eunuch has naturally taken over the ownership of the southern Annan country, even if the new Annan dynasty is a vassal to the Wu Dynasty, before getting the Great Seal of the Annan Kingdom, it is not justifiable.

"No wonder the South Shore Army will attack the Oriental Harbor." He couldn't help muttering to himself, but his mind was spinning rapidly, these people are really not good, not only have a strong army, but also take over Nan Annan, and then defeat the South Shore Army of more than 100,000 or 200,000 people, at this time, not only justifiable, but also have terrible strength, they now have no problem at the junction of the North and South Annan Kingdom and the Wu Dynasty Annan Province San'an. Thinking of this, Liu Chuanzhi couldn't help twitching the corners of his eyes, turned a page forward, and carefully looked at the gifts that the people were going to send to Beijing.

============================= divider =============================

"Two luxury Rolls-Royces and one extended Rolls-Royce." Xiao Jing took the piece of paper and looked at Gu Qingqian, "Are you sure you want to give these things to Zhu Youxiao?" ”

Gu Qingqian nodded, "Yes, according to the records of the Great Library, Zhu Youxiao is a well-known carpenter emperor, so he should be particularly interested in these human-powered wooden vehicles, since we are giving gifts, of course we have to do what they like." ”

"Then why don't you send a set of manpower boats over and let him tread water in Zhongnanhai?" Xiao Jing couldn't help laughing, but his suggestion was immediately rejected by Gu Qingqian, "Don't even think about it, you have to know how he died in the old world?" It was when he was playing in the lake that the boat was blown over by the wind and fell into the water, and then he fell seriously ill and died. Give him the boat is a wooden manpower boat, if he doesn't keep it, he will also race like the pilots on the dock, if the boat capsizes and drowns the emperor, isn't this the truth for the Wu Dynasty to attack us? ”

Xiao Jing was speechless for a while, and only after a while did he say, "Yes, after all, safety comes first, if you fall off the Rolls-Royce, it will be a bag on your head, and if you really capsize the boat, you may drown directly." He flipped through the list in his hand, "But what does this pure gold Yue Fei statue mean?" Where did his beard go? ”

Gu Qingqian pouted and smiled, "You know that you still want to ask me?" ”

Xiao Jing couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, "Are you really planning to shoot Wei Zhongxian's ass?" Gu Qingqian nodded with a smile, "Of course, Dongchang has always respected Yue Fei, and we sent a pure gold statue of Yue Fei to the past, just to pat the eunuchs' sycophants, so that they can cause us less trouble, as for Yue Fei's beard, of course, it was removed, so as not to make those eunuchs feel inferior." ”

"Then you might as well directly make a golden statue of Jinyiwei and send it over, to ensure that Wei Zhongxian takes it over with a fart." Zhang Yuan laughed on the side, but was immediately hit by Xiao Jing, "You think beautifully, if you send a golden statue of Wei in brocade clothes, we will wear Wei Zhongxian's little shoes." You, just know about industry, you don't know all about history, Jinyiwei is the Son of Heaven's army, Wei Zhongxian is the East Factory, are two different things. ”
