On the river between Wuchang and Hanyang, a sampan wooden boat connected by steel cables crosses the river, and the river is cut off for a while. In Wuchang and Hanyang under the city of the Taiping army camp station, soldiers in and out, a busy scene, and rumbling cannons, is constantly in Wuchang under the city of sound, since three days ago after the pontoon bridge was repaired, but also in the north of the city Guanhan tower to build a fort, outside the city along the river all over the barracks, tens of thousands of Taiping troops besieged Wuchang day and night, in order to take the "nine provinces thoroughfare" place.

Compared with the hustle and bustle of Wuchang and Hanyang, Hankou, one of the three towns, but it seems to be a little calm, except for the Taiping officers and soldiers who patrol back and forth inside and outside the city, the war seems to be far away from here, and in a large camp outside the city, there are soldiers walking around from time to time, and on the flagpole inside, there is a yellow silk banner of "the main general of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom of the True Mandate of Heaven, the main general of the left army, Yiwang Shi".

This is Hanyang's Yiwang camp, because the siege of the city, all presided over by the East King, so this Yiwang is also idle, in a tent in the camp, the oil lamp exudes a light that is not very bright, and there are several soldiers in yellow clothes standing outside the tent.

"It's so cold!"

Shi Dakai, who was sitting in the charcoal brazier, looked at Shi Zhenji in front of him and said, as a native of Guangxi, it was the first time he experienced such a cold wind, and it was the first time to experience the cold of the cold winter wax moon, as well as the wind and snow in the sky.

Hearing what the Wing King said, Shi Zhenji hurriedly laughed and said.

"Five thousand years old, if you don't look at it from the villain's point of view, you would have moved into Hanyang City, aren't there still a few houses in the city? No matter what those houses are, they are better than the place, and now this is the place to make up first. ”

Hearing his brother of the same clan say this, Shi Dakai just nodded and said.

"It's better to let others pay attention first, the brothers are all living in tents, I can't just think about myself, let's wait until Wuchang is defeated......"

When mentioning the defeat of Wuchang, Shi Dakai's brows frowned, and he was slightly unhappy in his heart, when he was in Changsha, after arguing with the king of the east because of the siege of the city, he was "hanged" here by the king of the east during the attack on Wuchang.

Seeing that the Wing King seemed to be unhappy, Shi Zhenji hurriedly responded.

"Actually, it's okay now, let's just fix it up, go back and fight with Xiang Rong, maybe here Dongwang has beaten Wuchang, over there, let's clean up that Xiang Rong......"

Nodding slightly, Shi Dakai continued.

"Aji, don't call for five thousand years and three thousand years old, you and I are blood relatives of the same family, you are also a military commander now, don't be so angry with your own family, I asked the cook to fry a few dishes, in the past few years, we have always been fighting from east to west, and there is no chance to talk together."

As soon as he shouted, he saw a few people come in, one holding a few hot dishes in his hand, and several people quickly set the dishes, and after the interview, Shi Dakai and Shi Zhenji ate together.

After the two of them ate a few bites of food and drank a few mouthfuls of food, Shi Zhenji suddenly asked.

"Five thousand years old, do you think this Wuchang can be defeated? In my opinion, if you can't take it, just take a breath and go straight down the river, otherwise, when the Qing demon reacts and the army surrounds it, it will always make people unable to put their minds at ease. ”

Shi Dakai shook his head, took a sip of wine and said.

"It's not in a hurry for the time being, although this Wuchang is said to be the capital of a province, but there are only a few thousand demons in the city, even if there are more than 10,000 regiments of bravery, what can be, although Xiang Rong led more than 10,000 demons outside the city to tear up our army, but the demons have already been frightened, as long as there are more than 10,000 to prepare for it, as long as we take Wuchang, then the country will be shocked, and then down the river, along the way the demons will not dare to go against the might of our army, so that we can ......get twice the result with half the effort."

"Isn't it still ......?"

Shi Zhenji continued,

"It's good to beat it, but if you can't beat it, wouldn't it be ......?"

"It's not that you can't beat it, the key depends on how you fight, in Changsha, if it weren't for ......"

Referring to the old things in Changsha, Shi Dakai shook his head and changed the topic again.

"As for whether to go or fight, let's wait until later, after all, at the moment, if you can fight, you still have to fight Wuchang......

Looking at Shi Dakai's melancholy eyes, Shi Zhenji asked.

"Five thousand years old, you seem to have something on your mind."

Shi Dakai nodded unabashedly and said.

"Although a lot of seizures have been made after conquering Yuezhou, but at the moment, I am afraid that it will not last long, and then tens of thousands of troops consume a lot of food, although they have taken Hankou and Hanyang, but there is not much food in the two places after all, and there is no military funds.

"There's nothing you can do with this lowly position."

Shi Zhenji sighed, since he jumped out of the 100,000 mountains in Guangxi, the shortage of food in this army has not been a matter of one or two days.

Shi Dakai didn't say anything, just took a sip of wine, his brows were tightly locked, although he had conquered Hanyang a few days ago, but there was not much grain in Hanyang City, although he copied a few grain merchants, he couldn't solve the current predicament of the army.

Suddenly, someone knocked on the door in a hurry, and before Shi Dakai shouted "come in", a scribe came in, and as soon as he entered the house, he quickly knelt down and kowtowed.

"Humble to meet the Wing King five thousand years old, may five thousand years old thousand years old thousand thousand years old!"

As soon as he saw his warden coming, Shi Dakai hurriedly asked.

"How about it, did you send that foreign brother back smoothly?"

"Back to the age of 5,000, the foreign brothers have been safely sent back to the minor seminary, on the way to the minor seminary, the humble luck to recruit a group of good men who came down from Zhaoshan to serve our army, but no one can do it, but only two hundred ......"

"Wow!"

Without waiting for the warden to finish speaking, Shi Dakai's face suddenly showed joy.

"Although 200 people are not many, they also came from afar, which shows that my kingdom of heaven can be said to be worthy of the hearts of the people of the world! You've done a great job this time! ”

Shi Dakai suddenly stood up and said quickly.

"Okay, good, Warden Chen, you have done this well, and this king will personally ask the king of heaven for credit for you."

Glancing at King Zhong, Chen Shuyang hurriedly said again.

"The lowly position does not dare to take credit, all the lowly duties are done according to the orders of the 5,000-year-old, and the other 5,000 years old, after the lowly duty sent the foreign brothers back to the church, they met a foreign businessman from Shanghai in the church, and the foreign businessman hoped to trade with my heavenly kingdom!"

"Commerce!"

Shi Zhenji looked at Chen Shuyang with some surprise, this is a new thing, although the big guy is out of the mountains of Guangxi with the intention of fighting the world, but along the way, they are called "rebels", and there are many people who come to the door to defect to the kingdom of heaven, but the foreign brothers who came to the door to talk about trade are the first time to listen.

"Oh?"

Confused, Shi Dakai asked.

"What about people?"

"Wait outside."

"Call him in."

Listening to the instructions of the East King, Chen Shuyang waved outside the door, and Zhu Yifeng, who had been waiting for a long time, walked in with the two card knife players, and as soon as he entered the house, he saw a young general wearing a golden silk crown and a handsome appearance, this is Shi Dakai?

Looking at this young general who seemed to be only three or four years older than him, Zhu Yifeng suddenly remembered his evaluation at the forum in later generations.

"Shi Dakai! Stone dare to be! The Winged King is 5,000 years old! At the age of sixteen, he went out of the mountain, at the age of nineteen, he commanded tens of millions of troops, and at the age of twenty, he became the king! Ling Chi died at the age of thirty-two! It's a very cool life, **Explosion? ”

It's a blast...... But at this time, for some reason, when he saw this famous figure in the history books, Zhu Yifeng's heart was very calm, and he didn't have a trace of excitement to see the historical figure, but calmly bowed and saluted according to Chen Shuyang's previous explanation, of course, with Pierre, and now Zhu Yifeng's identity is "interpreter". After Pierre's salute, Zhu Yifeng first translated a few polite words into Chinese, and then saluted alone.

"The villain Fenghui Foreign Company comprador Zhu Mingzong has seen the East King 5,000 years old, a thousand years old!"

This is the translation of the foreign brothers?

Shi Dakai looked at the pigtailed Zhu Mingzong in front of him, and he didn't kneel, but he didn't feel very comfortable, but thinking that he came with a foreign brother, he forgave this person's rudeness, not to mention, he also wanted to hear how this "trade" is a common law.

After Zhu Yifeng saluted, Shi Dakai gave the foreign brother and Zhu Yifeng a seat, and then looked at him and said.

"Zhu comprador, this king first thanks you and your family for traveling across the ocean to help our army and military supplies, this king will ask you again, what is the general law of trade that everyone in your family is talking about?"

Zhu Yifeng, who originally thought that Shi Da would be polite at the meeting, did not react for a while in the face of his directness, and after a while, he hurriedly replied:

"Five thousand years old, Pierre's visit to Wuchang this time is to reach a trade agreement with your army."

When answering Shi Dakai's question, Zhu Yifeng's heart tumbled, and what he thought was simple, but he just took the opportunity to hook up with the Taiping Army, seeking huge profits by smuggling arms, and laying the foundation for the future.

"This trade agreement means that our bank is responsible for transporting the latest long and short muskets, cannons and gunpowder made from foreign countries to Hangzhou according to the needs of your army, and your army will pay in cash and raw silk!"

Hearing him say this, Shi Dakai was stunned at first, then slightly surprised, and at this moment, he listened to him continue.

"The 5,000-year-old should know that the reason why this foreigner was able to defeat the Qing demon all the way in Guangzhou was because of the sharp guns and guns of the strong ships, and the reason why he came to Wuchang in person was to sell some sharp foreign guns and foreign cannons to the Heavenly Army, so as to help the Heavenly Army become ......."

"Oh!"

After a moment of surprise, looking at the two people in front of him, especially when the foreign brother looked curiously left and right, the corners of Shi Dakai's lips raised and sneered.

"The foreign gun you are referring to, but this is this thing!"

While speaking, Shi Dakai put a pistol on the table, and looked directly at the so-called "foreign brother", and after a moment's effort, he could already see that the foreign brother was just a deaf man's ear, and the real master of the house was probably surnamed Zhu.
