"On October 15, our army under the command of General Chen Tianbao and others, has broken through Jiading City, when it is said, the Southern Dynasty Ruan Fu Ying and the crown prince Ruan Fu Hui took our army to attack Jiading, led a small number of elites, has absconded to the north to Xining City, and Jiashou City has only resisted for less than an hour, the defenders have already led the army to surrender, at present, our army has implemented a curfew in Jiading City, Jiading is well ordered, prices are stable, a large amount of rice oil has been prepared in place...... Sun Shijie read out to Liang Pengfei with a look of affection that the battle report that had just arrived. 【Reading.com】

"Flee to Xining?" Liang Pengfei raised his eyebrows, looked at the map, and found the location of Xining City. "What's going on in Xining?"

"Xining City was originally an important town for Annam to defend the north, but for decades, the Kingdom of Cambodia has gradually declined, so the city defense of Xining has long been gone, let alone Jiading, however, since my army began to advance south, Nguyen Phuc Anh has been preparing grain and grass materials in Xining City, and sent his henchman General Nguyen Chang to guard it. It seems that Ruan Fuying's heart is actually very uncertain about whether she can keep Jiading. But please rest assured, Li Dashuang has already led his troops to approach Xining City. In a few days, the best situation will be reported. Wang Jing next to him replied with a smile.

Liang Pengfei nodded, and his fingers tapped lightly on the precise and detailed map: "Be sure to force that Nguyen Phuc Ying to withdraw from Xining City and retreat into the territory of the Kingdom of Cambodia." However, tell Li Dashuang that as long as Ruan Fuying withdraws from the border of Annam, he cannot be pursued, after all, there are still many small countries in the Indochina Peninsula, since we have inherited the name of China, we naturally have to be lenient and virtuous, and everything must have a good reason, understand? ”

Liang Pengfei's words made the group of staff officers and generals in the room all have extremely strange expressions, mainly because what he said was really different from his way of doing things, just like he was now driving Na Nguyen Phuc Anh to Cambodia, obviously thinking about how to tear up and swallow Cambodia and Siam in the future, but he wanted to pretend to be a living Bodhisattva.

"What do you see me doing?" Liang Pengfei glanced at these guys and snorted: "Remember, military and politics are always related to conspiracy and habits, a dignified and upright teacher, that is to his own people, not those who are not my people, for foreign enemies, our army is the division of tigers and wolves, you are a group of conspirators who think about the law, make good use of this division of tigers and wolves, and how to extract the maximum benefits from the hands of the enemy, understand?" ”

"Got it, sir." All the staff officers and subordinates stood upright and replied in high spirits, although what Liang Pengfei said was somewhat inconsistent with the education they had received since childhood, the longer they followed Liang Pengfei's side, the more they felt that although this young master Liang's words and deeds, and his every move, could not escape from despicability and even obscenity, but the glorious victories again and again, and the jaw-dropping results of the battles, told them with reality that this was the reality.

"It is enough for the port country to leave 5,000 soldiers and horses to guard the town, in addition, send a teaching battalion to call on the local Chinese people to join the army enthusiastically, and in addition, let Mo Guanfu move to Xiangao, then Rama I of Siam, I want to see if he dares to go south again." Liang Pengfei pondered for a long time and issued a new order, next to him, Ni Ming quickly wrote down Liang Pengfei's order, then raised his head to look at Liang Pengfei and said, "My lord, will the remaining thirteen thousand soldiers let them return to the garrison?" ”

"I think about sending 4,000 men to Temasek and the rest of the troops, leaving their munitions and guns behind, and then returning to their original positions and standing by, and then by the way, we can equip those new recruits with weapons."

After dealing with the affairs, Sun Shijie hurried to his courtyard, where there was still a lot of information from all over the country that he needed to review and dispose of, and Wang Jing needed to rush to Baiyun Mountain in Guangzhou to check the progress of the construction, and the others also had their own affairs, but Liang Pengfei and Ni Ming were a little more leisurely, the two chatted about cigarettes, and chatted in the garden in the front yard.

talked about Ni Ming's newly married wife, as well as his father-in-law, who was once extremely angry, and now, he has also gone south and served as an administrative official on an island in the South Seas.

"I really didn't expect that you and that little cui girl would actually become husband and wife, I didn't expect it, eh, I said that you kid fell in love with Xiaocui at first sight?" Liang Pengfei still has the slightest appearance of the head of state of China at the moment, more like a boring person who is idle and likes to inquire about the gossip of friends.

This sentence made Ni Ming roll his eyes, and he always felt that the lewd smile on the boss's face and the evil gaze were more like a little rascal, which made people feel the urge to beat him up.

Subconsciously reached out and scratched his scalp, and smiled a little embarrassedly: "Actually, it's not, it's just that at first I felt that this girl was too pitiful, her father was ruined because of opium smoking, and a good family ruined, and her little girl's family almost fell into such a fate......" Thinking of the scene when he first met that Xiaocui on Taiwan Island, Ni Ming couldn't help but flash a trace of distress and pity in his heart at this moment.

"Yes, it's all the opium that the dogs say." Liang Pengfei couldn't help but pat his thigh a little gloomily, although now, the opium trade has been cut off by his own hands, and those Westerners no longer dare to transport those drugs to the mainland to harm people, so that China's opium disaster has just begun to come to an end, but there are still many families who have been ruined because of this.

"My lord, if that opium is so harmful, why do you still make deals with those Westerners and buy them in large quantities from those Western colonists who colonized India?" Ni Ming was a little curious, although he knew that Liang Peng flew to the country to sell some longevity cream, but the output of opium cultivation in India was increasing year by year, and the country couldn't sell so much at all, but Liang Pengfei still purchased a large number of them, which really made him a little curious.

"Hehehe." Liang Pengfei laughed slyly. "The more they plant, the less good it is for them."

"But my lord, every year the acquisition will cost a lot of silver, which is an astronomical amount." Ni Ming was a little dissatisfied, how could he think that Liang Pengfei's current appearance was full of eleven losers.

"It's not silver, it's silver." Liang Pengfei continued to rejoice: "Those Western fools now want to earn the difference in the price of silver from Lao Tzu's hands, it is unthinkable, besides, most of the opium I buy from them is traded on a ship-to-goods basis, and there is still a large amount of silver to make every year." ”

At the beginning of last year, through the steam press, Liang Pengfei's sphere of influence has gradually eliminated the use of silver taels, and turned to the use of silver coins for trade, and in the Nanyang area, it was originally the territory of Western colonizers, and the currency trade methods used were also settled with various Western gold and silver coins, so Liang Pengfei's monetary system was not affected at all, but after the restructuring, a large amount of silver returned to him and made him a lot of money.

"Of course I know this, but my lord, in the long run, if the other party's output doubles or three times, then we will lose money." Ni Ming rubbed his temples that were a little sour, and complained a little depressedly.

"Oh, it seems that there is one thing I forgot to tell you, in fact, in fact, the opium was sold to those Western colonists in the end." Liang Pengfei whistled lightly, but the corners of his eyebrows and eyes were full of a smell of successful trickery.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

"What? Why don't I know, besides, those Westerners know that opium is harmful, and since they sold it to you, why do they buy it back? Ni Ming felt that it was not his nerves that were wrong, that his hearing had some kind of disorder.

"It's still opium that is sold, but it's been perfectly packaged." Liang Pengfei's expression suddenly became serious, if there is another book in his hand, and then a pair of eyes on the bridge of his nose, he is absolutely sanctimonious like a scholar with a strong literary atmosphere: "It has all become medicines, excellent antipyretic painkillers, and it has a very good effect on respiratory pain, I believe that it will definitely save countless patients from the torture of illness, but ...... Addiction is tens or even hundreds of times more than opium, and that's none of my business, because there is no explanation for today's medicines, and there is no need for the pharmaceutical company to explain what side effects it has. ”

Hearing this, seeing the righteousness on Liang Pengfei's face, Ni Ming subconsciously shivered. I felt that my throat was a little dry: "My lord, you can't tell the truth, right?" ”

"Of course it's true, and, so far, about 5,000 pounds of medicine have been sold to those Western colonizers, and now, the sixth batch of finished medicines, 3,000 pounds of medicines, from the King of Crab Island Pharmaceutical Factory, has also been shipped.

The first two batches have already been shipped back to the countries of Europe, where the civilized people are now treating their ailments with these medicines, may their God bless them, and see, I have made a great contribution to the medical cause of Western civilization. Liang Pengfei said in the end, the seriousness and seriousness on his face could no longer be disguised, and he laughed heartily.

Looking at Liang Pengfei's smug and extremely arrogant smile, Ni Ming reached out and wiped the sweat on his forehead that was getting denser and denser, and he was really speechless.
