A merchant is a businessman who sells what is from the east to the west. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Zhao Hua is not strictly a businessman, but he has always been doing what businessmen do.

Before leaving, Zhao Zheng deliberately transferred him from Linhu to Wanghai City to serve as a caravan transfer envoy, purchasing leather goods, medicinal materials, and precious wood from Dongping, and then selling them to Qichu across the heavy sea.

Zhao Hua had already done the same thing once, and gradually mastered the tide of the sea, and he was a little unhappy, because it meant that he would continue to serve as a transshipment envoy.

"Fourth brother, do you want to be a nobleman of the Yue Kingdom when you look at my dress."

Ji Jing was wearing a wide-sleeved robe, and there was incense powder on his body, and the irritated Zhao Hua just wanted to sneeze.

"Like, it's too similar, it's just one more thing, otherwise you're more like a Yue countryman."

"What's that?"

Zhao smiled evilly and pointed at Ji Jing's crotch.

"Huh~"

Ji Jing hurriedly covered it and scolded: "Master, I don't study yet, the more feminine the more women are feminine, no wonder the country is lost." ”

"Don't be so loud, we're going to be in the capital of Yueguo, so that the Yue people will find trouble with us when they hear it."

"What are you afraid of", Ji Jing deliberately made a loud voice, "Although the Yue Kingdom was prosperous for a while, it was not destroyed by the Chu State, and it was a reckless army, and now it is barely a county to survive with the support of the Son of Heaven, and it is not easy to protect itself, and it dares to trouble us." ”

"You... Keep a low profile. ”

A black head appeared in the distance, and when he heard Ji Jing's words, he couldn't wait to rush up, and when he heard Zhao Hua's words, he couldn't wait to wipe his neck.

Yue Guo was originally a descendant of Dayu, Shaokang Shuzi had no more to build a country, and the country has been unfailing for thousands of years, even if the Yue King Gou Jian was humiliated by King Wu as a slave, Yue Guo still survived.

But once comfortable, the Yue Kingdom forgot the previous lesson of the country, and was finally attacked by the Chu State to break through the national capital Langyu, and later fled to the Great Zhou.

In order to contain the Chu State, Zhou Tianzi still remembered the glory of the hegemony of the ancient Yue State in Huiji, and supported Wuzhong in the restoration of the country in Huiji, but after the conquest, the Yue State only had one county, and the soldiers were less than 20,000.

With such a small number of troops, Chu State naturally doesn't care, and is happy to give Zhou Tianzi a face, but he has to pay tribute every year and greet him every year.

The capital of Yueguo Huiji, its geographical location is about the first generation of Hangzhou, the port is wide and deep, suitable for large ships to dock. Therefore, Zhao Hua anchored the fleet here, stopped the ship to unload, and sent more than 10,000 Chu troops on board back to Chu by the way.

After arriving on the shore for more than a month, Zhao Hua had already dumped all the goods on the ship, and the Chu State was blocked by the Jialing River and the Han River, and it was difficult to communicate with the Central Plains. The other passed through the Huai River to the country of Qi.

Although the Han River and Tianzhu Mountain can also do business, the two countries of Zhou and Chu have been tugging here for a hundred years, and the two sides have stationed nearly 300,000 troops, and a radius of 500 miles has become a military forbidden area.

Therefore, Zhao Hua's arrival immediately aroused the love of the princes and nobles of Chu, and they drove to Huiji City to select and buy their favorite goods.

A foot-long mountain ginseng, a sacred object; Pure white fur, treasures, not to mention fist-sized pearls, half-human-high coral.

Originally, there were more of these in the Chu Kingdom, but it was a pity that a warm current that traversed thousands of miles brought countless treasures to Beiting.

"Thousands of miles of wealth, but the king of the world."

Zhao Zheng once commented on Ashina Yan's wealth in Beiting, which was completely given by God, as long as he threw off his arms and dug it out, Ashina Yan could sit on the title of the richest man in the world.

"Poor, let's brave the wind and waves, sell it once in thousands of miles, it's better to dig a mine in Beiting for a month."

Ji Jing suddenly sighed, "It's a little interesting when I first went to sea, the more boring I became, and I always ate bean sprouts, and it was endless." ”

Zhao Hua smiled: "That's right, you are still fat for a month at sea, but you know what those fishermen have become without bean sprouts to eat their skin."

And to tell you the good news, yesterday the fleet was purchased, tomorrow we will be back sailing, if you miss the food on land, eat more tonight. ”

"Don't say it early", Ji Jing ran away with a smoke, leaving Zhao to laugh on the spot.

"Friend, haven't you come out to say hello after watching it for so long?"

He had already discovered that someone was watching, and he didn't do it for a long time in order not to startle the snake.

When it was discovered, the swarthy head immediately retracted and ran away. The country is mountainous, even the port has a few hills, the person who is watching is obviously the Shanyue people, a few breaths, the birds in the forest are frightened, and the people are gone.

"Running very fast", Zhao Hua laughed, his expression immediately became solemn, a few days ago he received a flying pigeon message, Mi Xin did not measure his strength to attack Wanghai City, and was besieged by Wang Jian Pi Room Mountain. The news has reached the Central Plains, and it is likely to reach the Chu State, and Zhao Hua should deal with it carefully and go to sea immediately.

There is another sentence at the end, but it is not explicitly stated, the messenger knows Zhao Hua very well, and he does not allow threats to exist.

If the king of Chu tears his face, he will definitely send sailors to encircle and suppress him, and he will be able to reach Dongping safely after Zhao Slip at that time.

"The show has begun, and after two months of holding, it has finally opened again."

There were two more ships in the fleet abruptly, this was Zhao Hua's hole card, and he divided the twelve ships into two groups, one group of ten ships for transporting goods and Chu soldiers, which seemed to be doing business; Only two of the other group were fully loaded with artillery.

The munitions ship had been fifty miles behind the cargo ship, a distance from which the human eye could only see a small black dot, but the telescope could see it accurately.

is to take advantage of this sight distance difference, Zhao Hua wants to play a big one.

"The whole team is ready, all return to the ship after midnight, and set sail back to Dongping as soon as it is dawn."

At the same time, the naval division of Xiang Yan, the general of the Chu State, was also close to Huiji, but because the Jialing River and the port of Huiji were far apart, Xiang Yan decided to go to sea from Gusu and take the opportunity to ambush the Gushan caravan.

Although Mi Xin was bold and rashly attacked Wanghai City, he should not have besieged him to death. The news spread through various channels, and it had already changed, and the King of Chu didn't know whether to believe it or not, but fortunately he had planned to deal with Zhao Zheng early on.

This is not the first time to fight, the first time is Wuyang, Li Yuan finally brought the Tiger Capture Army of Shudu to the interior of Yan Kingdom, but was blocked by Zhao Zheng with a group of miscellaneous troops.

At that time, the king of Chu had already moved to kill Zhao Zheng, but he wanted to recruit Zhao Zheng more, and later came to the Northern Expedition of the Zihui League, and the Chu army unexpectedly gained a large piece of overseas territory, but the old opponent Da Zhou gained nothing, but almost lost three Yin Eighth Divisions.

At this time, the murderous intent of the king of Chu prevailed, and such a figure became a prince, and he would definitely not want to be subservient, and it would become an obstacle for the Chu State to sweep the Central Plains in the future.

It's just that Zhao Zheng prefers to go against Da Zhou, and the King of Chu likes to hear it, and "benevolently" lets Zhao Zheng live a few more years and harass Da Zhou for a few more years.

But now Zhao Zheng dared to provoke the Chu State, blew up the warships of the Chu State Expeditionary Army, and besieged Mi Xin and others to death.

Even the fake King of Chu believed it, and from the moment he heard that the warship was blown up by Gushan, he didn't plan to let the fleet led by Zhao Hua go back.

There is always a need to recoup some interest, anyway, this fleet is a cargo ship, relying on the experience of long-distance sailing, and ran to the gate of Chu to show off its might.

"Mi Tao, are you sure there isn't a single cannon on board?"

Qi Tao nodded: "Back to my king, the cannon is huge, and heavy as a stubborn stone, the minister has carefully inspected it when he was on the ship, but he did not find it." ”

"Hmm", the king of Chu nodded, but he was still uncomfortable in his heart, and Qi Tao said that the artillery was a god that destroyed the world and made him moved, but it was a pity that the craftsmen of Chu State could not make this thing.

"Alas, it's a pity that this thing is not owned by people with virtue, otherwise it will definitely be able to win the Central Plains and reproduce my great Chu hegemony."

Alas, sighing needs to be so loud, the king of Chu naturally said it to the ministers of the palace.

I saw an old man with a wrinkled face and calluses in one hand coming out of the queue and saying: "I, Wang Mingjian, the old minister learned that Yan Guo had imitated this thing, and bought a picture with a lot of money.

Within three months, Lao Chen was confident that he would imitate artillery to boost Wang Tianwei. ”

"Good", the King of Chu excitedly got down from the dragon chair and walked to the old man's side, "Gongyi Kang, as long as you can imitate the artillery, the widow will give you a golden order and make you the head of the Gongyi family." ”

In the past, the public loss class was in the Lu State, and was denounced by Confucianism as a strange and ingenious skill, and in a fit of anger, he went south to the Chu State, presented a sharp weapon to the King of Chu, and helped the Chu State attack the ten cities of Lu.

As a result, the Gongyi family took root and settled in the Chu State, but in later generations, the patriarch of the Gongyi family became more and more advocating Taoist inaction, living in seclusion, and unwilling to let the Gongyi family serve the princes.

Gong lost Kang Nai Gong lost Duo's uncle, but because he strongly advocated being born, he was disliked by the previous patriarch, and Gong lost the hatred to inherit the patriarch's position, and lived in seclusion in Taihua Mountain, not seeing the world.

Gongyi Kang endured until he was forty years old, and was finally born as an official, in order to be the patriarch, this time he boasted of the imitation artillery in Haikou, but also wanted the king of Chu to intervene and support him to win the position of patriarch.

The two careerists coincided, trading openly and secretly for a piece of artillery, and the real artillery has roared again at the mouth of the Jialing River.
