"Finally arrived in Tianjin. Looking at the gradually enlarging coastline from afar, Xie Hong was quite emotional.

When he first proposed the opening of the sea, his preferred port was Tianjin. It's not that he knows much about Tianjin, but also because of its location, which is the most convenient place to connect the capital with the ocean.

Now, after going around and around for nearly a year, I have finally arrived here and are about to incorporate it into the overall plan. Merely...... After seeing the scene on the coast, Xie Hong frowned slightly.

"Brother Xie, there is something wrong with the situation on the shore, it doesn't seem to be our people, and they seem to be on guard...... Hey, the monk that idiot hasn't arrived yet, if he misses a big deal, let's see how he cleans him up. Jiang Bin also noticed something strange and scolded the monk viciously.

Xie Hong shook his head and said with a wry smile: "It may not be that Brother Shang made a mistake, it is likely that the second brother has another problem......

"Well, well, it's hard to say." Scarface touched the back of his head and smiled wryly, but he didn't pick up the stubble.

According to the original plan, Xie Hong sent a letter to the capital, and then the capital would send the 3,000 battalions with the strongest mobility to suppress the ground of Tianjin Wei with the holy decree, and receive goods by the way.

But when Xie Hong deliberately delayed the time, the current Tianjin Wei is still in the hands of hostile forces, so something must be wrong.

Nowadays, the military strength of the capital is basically controlled by Zhengde, and the combat power of the 3,000 battalions of cavalry is far above that of the local army.

Therefore, in Xie Hong's mind, this situation can only be caused by Zhengde, and according to his guess, I am afraid that Zhu Houzhao will not be able to bear the surname, so he will personally go to Tianjin Wei.

The holy car came out in person, and it must be accompanied by the Guards, although this army is elite, but it is all infantry, and the marching speed is naturally not too fast, it is not surprising that there will be such a situation at the moment.

There was no way, so I had to wait, Xie Hong pursed his lips and sighed: "Forget it, idle is idle, I'll write a letter and send someone to send it to see the attitude of the local officials." ”

Jiang Bin naturally has no objections, he has been floating on the sea for so long, and he doesn't care about the day or two, and it is simple to send the letter, as long as he finds a North Korean sailor to send it.

…… Don't look at the posture has been pulled out, but several officials on the coast have not actually formed a unified opinion, and several people are arguing at this moment.

"Lord Bingxian, if there is an enemy attack, it is the duty of our warriors to strictly guard the coast, even if they die on the battlefield, there is no complaint, but the current situation is ......" Yuan Jie pointed to the sea, and on a ship led by him, the Yellow Dragon Flag was waving in the wind, showing the meaning of majesty and dignity, he gritted his teeth and said: "The last general thinks that it is right to collect the troops and return to the camp for the time being, and receive the party first." ”

"Commander Yuan's words are reasonable...... Shi Pan twisted his beard, his face was expressionless, but looking at Yuan Jie's eyes, there was clearly encouragement, and he also agreed with him.

"Well, Commander Yuan's words are not too old-fashioned, they are all serving in the imperial court, and they are rashly meeting each other with soldiers...... Alas, wouldn't the same roommate be laughed at by outsiders? Tongzhi Zhou Wen also bowed his head frequently, obviously agreeing with the other two.

"Humph!"

Of course, there are people who have opposing opinions, otherwise they would not have put on this battle, and the principal Fang Xiaohan snorted angrily: "The imperial court? How can that annihilator represent the imperial court? is a courtier who brings disaster to the country and the people, everyone is a righteous man and a gentleman, Yuan Jie, do you dare to talk about the government as a martial artist? ”

“…… The last will not dare. ”

Although the top boss is Shi Pan, theoretically Yuan Jie doesn't need to look at Fang Xiao's eyes, but in fact, he can't afford to offend any of the people present, even if he shouldn't take care of it, he can't stand the fact that others have classmates and elders! The boss's hat was buttoned down, and Yuan Jie really couldn't bear it, so he could only bow down and confess.

"Hmph, it's good to know who you are." After retreating Yuan Jie, Fang Xiao flicked his sleeves, turned to Shi and Erren, and asked: "The two adults are known for their names, and the lower officials have heard about it when they were in Beijing, although the official business has not been for a long time, but they also feel that the rumors are true. However, if it is said in today's view, this name is probably still debatable, right? ”

Shi Pan has served in Tianjin Wei in the eighteen years of Hongzhi, and Zhou Wen is even later, just a few months in office, although the grade is higher than Fang Xiao, but in terms of qualifications in Tianjin Wei, it is really worse than Fang Xiao.

"Lord Fang, don't misunderstand, that fleet is flying the Yellow Dragon Flag, and this official and Lord Shi are just more serious, for fear of misunderstanding......" Zhou Wen has not been out of office for a day or two, and of course seniority is not the main reason why he is afraid of Fang Xiao, but he understands the threat in the latter's words.

Scholars pay attention to a good reputation, and what this reputation is, it is all up to people. If there is someone to support it, and then fight for your own family, it will naturally be famous and spread to the world; If it's the other way around, it's a bad street.

The reason why Xie Hong and the current emperor have such a bad reputation is because they offended Shilin too hard, even the emperor is like this, not to mention him Zhou Wen, a small official with a big sesame seed?

Moreover, neither the emperor nor Xie Hong are scholars, and they don't care much about reputation, but he Zhou Wen cares.

That Fang Xiao can serve as such a fat shortage, the force behind it must be not small, if he really disobeys the other party's intentions and is caught by him and spreads it, then his own future will be over.

Therefore, although Zhou Wen was of high grade, Fang Xiao was polite, even if he was very reluctant, he still came with him, and did not stop Fang Xiao from ordering Yuan Jie to deploy defenses along the coast.

"We scholars, since we have been taught by the sages, we should know when to be benevolent, Governor Zhu has a letter here, and there is a public discussion between the DPRK and China, how can we succumb to the Yinwei of Annihilation? The two adults can rest assured, after talking about things today, Fang will be the court and prepare for today's affairs, which will be a tribute to the two of them. ”

Slap and give a sweet date, don't look at Fang Xiao's low grade, but he is very disciplined, although his identity is here, he is a bit arrogant when he says this, but combined with the forces behind him and his identity from a family, it is reasonable.

At least Zhou and Shi didn't have any dissatisfaction on their faces, but they were just grateful. Of course, the various slanders in their stomachs are not known to others.

"My lord, there's a messenger from the fleet."

Fang Xiao didn't read the letter either, waved his sleeves, and shouted categorically: "Hmph, cut off the person who delivered the letter, to show our determination, and swear not to be in the same stream as Annihilator!" ”

He knew that Zhou and Shi were just afraid of Shilin's pressure, and temporarily succumbed to it, and their position was not firm, in case Xie Hong was on the boat, and then resorted to some means, maybe these two people would be shaken or even turned.

Therefore, he also disregarded etiquette, and immediately ordered the envoy to be killed, which is also the meaning of breaking the cauldron and cutting off the retreat of the two people, as for Yuan Jie, bah, a martial artist, what qualifications do you have to talk about your position? He listens to what he says.

"It's just that my lord......" The herald had a difficult look on his face and was very hesitant.

Fang Xiao said awe-inspiringly: "Just go, hoeing and annihilating is the duty of this official, at the moment of righteousness, killing his messenger is just a small section, even if there is infamy, this official also deserves it, go!" ”

"My lord, that messenger is a North Korean sailor, this ...... Want to kill too? The herald was at a loss, he wanted to communicate why he was a North Korean, and he also couldn't understand why Fang was killing without even reading the letter.

In fact, he was also confused as to why the adults would put up such a big battle, and even the soldiers guarding the canal were transferred to guard the coast, so there were so many questions.

"So it is...... Well? North Korea? Why are it North Koreans! Fang Xiao was dumbfounded, this matter was too weird, and it was also beyond his comprehension.

According to the normal situation, Xie Hong has done so many bad things on the side of the Yalu River, shouldn't the North Koreans hate him to the bone? How could he run to be a sailor for him, and still run to deliver letters?

Fang Xiao glanced at the sailor out of the corner of his eye, although the man didn't understand Chinese and looked stupid, his expression was clearly a little excited, well, could it be that he still felt that he could receive some reward?

Master Fang was a little dizzy, and it was obvious that he didn't know much about the customs of North Korea.

"Show me the letter......

Without Fang Xiao's noise, Shi Pan also came back to his senses, he took the letter first, he was not in a hurry to read the content, he directly saw the signature at a glance, and immediately gasped again.

"Lord Shi?" Zhou Wen was also very nervous, and his inquiring gaze contained very complex meanings, including fear and worry.

"Thank you...... Champion Hou is on board! Shi Pan stumbled in his mouth, and unconsciously changed his title.

"Oh my God!" Zhou Wen was also struck by lightning, and his whole body was violently shaken.

Zhu Qin's letter was vague, and he himself could not be sure whether Xie Hong was personally on the ship. After all, according to the previous news from Liaodong, until the beginning of June, Xie Hong should still stay in Liaoyang.

Therefore, the few people who read the letter were even more ignorant, they all thought that this fleet was under Xie Hong's command, but they didn't expect the other party to be here in person.

At this time, when they heard it at first glance, Shi and Zhou Erren were shocked and inexplicable in their hearts, and they couldn't even care about Fang Xiao on the side, the two glanced at each other, and then nodded slowly.

In fact, Fang Xiao didn't care about the title, he was also taken aback, so he sat down on the ground with a butt.

This man has always planned and acted, and the means are endless, and how many people with lofty ideals have been deflated in front of him, can he and a few companions who are not firm in their position stop this person?

Not to mention anything else, the other party sent a messenger casually, and he already made himself a little confused, seeing that the fleet had dropped anchor in a hurry, looking like a good time, how could Fang Xiao have confidence in his heart?

He raised his head, his eyes were a little blank and searched through the crowd, as if he wanted to get some help, the two civil officials on the side looked at it with some contempt in their eyes, they shouted loudly just now, but when they heard the main lord coming, they were still numb, is it considered a strong infighting?

At this moment, Fang Xiao's gaze suddenly froze, as if he had found what he was looking for, and his disgraced face glowed again. With a little hideousness, he sneered: "Hmph, it's just in time, today is the time for Fang to hoe and annihilate the Daming Jiangshan Society!" ”

Zhou and Shi were both shocked, and they immediately reacted, knowing that Fang Xiao Bacheng had gotten some hints, when the two of them hurriedly raised their eyes, they saw a surge of people, where could they see anything unusual?

However, they also had some guesses in their hearts about what the person who could give Fang Xiao a hint and quickly arouse the morale of the other party would be and who he represented.

In addition to being suspicious, both of them secretly complained in their hearts, the two strong forces competed, harmed the pond fish, and they hid for thousands of years, after all, they were still involved in the battle between the two major forces...... What can I do about it?
