The more Feng Ang spoke, the more excited he became, and his voice became higher: "The slang people also have their own traditions and culture, although they are not as advanced as the Han culture, but they can't simply be one-size-fits-all and force them to change. ”

"People always have dignity, even if it is an advanced thing, if you force it into them in a forced way, it will be resisted and cause a backlash, the best way is to respect the beliefs and traditions of the Yi people, and at the same time maintain the tradition of yourself as a Han and Han culture, if your culture is stronger than his, are you afraid that he will not take the initiative to learn?"

"Just like our grandmother's family, the Xian family, who has been intermarrying with our Feng family for hundreds of years, and now although they are still the tribal leaders of South Vietnam, the behavior and lifestyle of the Xian family are no different from our Feng family, this is the correct way for the Han people to get along with the Yi people, it is to pass guò subtly, not to insult, force, oppress or even slaughter."

"However, many Han officials who came to Lingnan did not understand this, and they transferred the punishment from the mainland to Lingnan, for example, the slang people used to live in caves, gathering and hunting for a living, and did not farm and live in villages like the Han people."

"However, some officials still forcibly implemented the Han system in Lingnan, sending troops to arrest slang people and forcibly serve hard labor in the name of conscription, and building city walls and palaces, etc., which will intensify the contradictions and cause the slang people to resist."

"Compared with the Han people, the slang people are much more backward, there is no Han army's sophisticated armor, sharp iron weapons, no strong bows and crossbows, and no war horses and cavalry that can be killed vertically and horizontally. In Lingnan, a popular uprising was provoked. Even if the world is in chaos. The heroes rise together, and we Lingnan people do not have the strength and qualifications to wade through this troubled water. ”

"Even if the leader supported by the slang people wins, even if they can miraculously break into the great prosperity and win the world, what will change for the slang people? Can they learn from the Huns, Qian, Xianbei, Qiang, and Di people in the Five Hu Rebellion to enter the Central Plains? Will they be able to adapt to the cold weather and farming-based production methods of Lingbei? ”

"So if they lose, they will be wiped out by a new genocide and annihilation, and they will be lucky enough to win. can produce a new Chen Baxian to dominate the world for the last time, and nothing will change if the slang people are more and more people. General Yang, you said that it was you who had changed, what would you do in my position? ”

Yang Xuangan was also moved several times when he heard it, his nose was sour, and Feng An's accented and strange voice suddenly became so loud and sonorous.

Yang Xuangan let out a long sigh with a stern expression. He arched his hand and said, "I really don't know Brother Feng's hardships, and I have no words. Thank you for your understanding. ”

Yang Su's majestic voice sounded slowly: "Xuan Gan, when you talk and do things in the future, you must first think for the other party, consider the other party, the situation in Lingnan is special, the land is vast and sparsely populated, it is definitely not a place where you can take over the world, if Feng Xian's nephew can keep one side safe in the troubled times, it is already quite difficult, don't be too demanding." ”

Feng Ang saluted Yang Suzhengse: "Yue Guogong is above, Feng Ang has already confessed all the words that have been heartfelt today, we must repay the kindness of Yue Guogong to the lives of our Feng family and the Xian family, but we can't gamble with the lives of the entire family or even the entire nation." ”

"If there is really that day, the Yang family's people are defeated and come to vote, we will take him in, but we will not help him raise troops to chase the Central Plains, if the court comes to ask for it, we can only send him across the ocean and take refuge in the Linyi country."

Yang Su nodded with satisfaction: "Well, very good, Feng Xian's nephew, what the old man appreciates most is your sincerity, if you pat your chest and boast that you will definitely follow us in the future and help us fight the world, the old man will think that you are not credible." ”

"I don't have the strength to boast about this Haikou, such a person may go to tell someone when he leaves my house, and I will definitely not cooperate with such a person."

Feng Ang smiled: "Our Feng family has lived with slang people for a long time, they are all very simple and straightforward people, not as many fancy intestines as our Han people, so we have to talk about faith in treating people and things." Please rest assured that I will make it clear what I can do and what I can't do. ”

Yang Xuangan, who had been listening to the conversation between the two with a smile on the side, suddenly thought of a question and blurted out: "Father, Lin Yiguo is about to be attacked by General Liu, and it can be regarded as an enemy country, if it is an enemy country, how can it be possible to take in the people of our family?" ”

Yang Su smiled and waved his hand: "There are many ways to do this, you can be incognito when you get there, and you don't even need the surname Yang, just say that you are doing business in the Central Plains, and no country will refuse this kind of rich person." As long as you honestly don't want to be anti-guest-oriented, take the throne, and live in a simple place so that people don't recognize you, you can keep safe. ”

"And Lin Yiguo and Lingnan are separated by more than 3,000 miles, isolated by land, and can only take the sea route, when Feng Xian's nephew said that you are boating into the sea, even if you want to catch you, you can't find it."

"But it is necessary to send General Liu to lead a large army to fight a dozen Linyi countries, Linyi countries have been separated from the Han soil for hundreds of years, the people of the country are fierce and barbaric, do not obey the king, they do not live with the Han people like Lingnan, so they can't see the advanced Han culture and way of life, in their eyes, the Han people are just lambs they can use to rob."

"Therefore, to deal with this kind of uncivilized barbarians, the only way to deal with this kind of uncivilized barbarian is to add their country to the power of heaven, destroy the country and kill the king, and destroy their temples, so that they can know the military power of our Han family, and from then on, they will not dare to have any crooked thoughts about our Han businessmen in the future, otherwise if you rashly bring a huge amount of money to settle down, there is a chance that the local powerful wealthy families will attack you."

Feng Ang took over the conversation and said: "Yue Guogong is right, in recent years, there are few businessmen who have gone to Linyi Country to do business in Gaozhou, Luozhou, and few of them have not been blackmailed and insulted by the local evil businessmen. It's because the local natives don't take us Han people seriously. ”

Yang Xuangan nodded, he could see from this experience of going to Shuofang and Longxi that only with the backing of strong national strength could this kind of caravan trade have a minimum guarantee. If in the eyes of others, they are just a herd of lambs who are powerless to resist. Sooner or later, death will come.

Yang Su continued: "Liu Fang broke the queen of the Lin Yi Kingdom. We will not garrison troops there and set up counties, but will stay for a while and then return to the division, when the time comes, these Linyi people will be afraid of our country's heavenly might, and we will send some capable people to do business there, and we will slowly be able to gain a firm foothold, and even if there are changes in the future, we will be able to operate a reliable place. ”

Feng Ang smiled: "With the huge amount of funding from the Duke of Yue, our Feng family's caravan is also guaranteed there." At that time, the two of us can cooperate to make a lot of money, even if the world is peaceful in the future, there is no war, just for the sake of doing business, this matter will be beneficial and harmless. ”

Yang Xuangan suddenly thought that Feng Ang was still the Taishou of Hanyin, so he asked: "But Brother Feng is still the Taishou of Hanyin, how can he go back to Lingnan to operate and report the news?" ”

Feng Ang laughed: "This is also an important reason why I want to cooperate with Yue Guogong, I just came out of Lingnan, and I have no roots in this Central Plains, even if I want to send a message home." You have to go to the guò post station, and confidential things can't be done in this way. ”

Yang Xuangan suddenly understood. took over the conversation and said, "So you cooperate with our family, use our family's intelligence system, and let my father's intelligence agent go back and forth to Lingnan for you?" ”

Feng Ang nodded and said: "Exactly, even that way of secret language transmission is also the teaching of Yue Guogong, as early as when the Great Sui destroyed Chen and grandmother raised troops to protect the territory, Yue Guogong had already agreed with his grandmother to contact him in this way, and the cooperation between our two families began as early as that year." ”

"Even the impeachment of Zhao Ne is also the idea of Yue Guogong, originally according to his grandmother's intention, he was taken down directly so as not to destroy the evidence when he heard the rumors, but Yue Guogong, who was the left servant at the time, directly sent a special envoy to verify it, and asked his grandmother to submit the evidence to Daxing, which saved time and did not let the dog official have time to react."

Yang Xuangan didn't expect that even the impeachment of Zhao Ne was the credit of Yang Su, he was slightly stunned, and when he turned his eyes to look at Yang Su, he saw him stroking his beard, and there was a slight smug look on his face.

Feng An's half-lazi Chinese with a strange tone continued to echo in Yang Xuangan's ears: "Although it is now Han Yin Taishou, you can pass on the secret word of Yue Guogong to the eldest brother and second brother in his hometown, and let them arrange things there." ”

Yang Xuangan nodded, and suddenly thought of something that seemed inappropriate, so he asked, "Then Brother Feng came in such an eye-catching costume today, won't it be a surprise?" ”

Yang Su smiled slightly: "Xuangan, you don't understand, only by coming here like this will the emperor and the prince not be suspicious." Now our house is surrounded by ears and eyes, and anyone who enters and leaves our house will be seen. Even if Feng Ang pretends to be a Han Chinese, his physical characteristics are too obvious, which will make people suspicious. ”

"But if Feng Ang is dressed as a Lingnan slang, plus he brings some local specialties and rare treasures, people will think that these barbarians don't know the situation in Beijing, and they think that I, Yang Su, are still in power, so they want to bribe me Yang Su to be promoted, and Feng Ang came at night, and it is even more clear that he wants to offer treasures and seek progress."

"The emperor and the crown prince are worried that we are befriending local forces and plotting against them, and as for this kind of corruption and bribery, they don't care much about it. When the water is clear, there are no fish, and this kind of thing is never used as a reason to attack the minister. ”

"If you think about it, when you dismissed the high officials, the reason why he got it was that he received Wang Shiji's horses, how much were the horses worth? But it was sent by the traitor Wang Shiji, who intended to rebel, and it became a great crime. ”

"The reason why I can't get it on the table is that Gao Gong supports the former prince Yang Yong, and Gao Gong has also collected a lot of money over the years, but only this time the matter of collecting Wang Shijima can be put on the table, understand."

Yang Xuangan nodded, he was even more familiar with Wang Qian's self-defilement, the king has never been afraid of courtiers being greedy for money, but he has a natural vigilance against their greed for power.

Yang Su looked at Yang Xuangan and Feng Ang who were standing below, stood up, and said: "Then let's discuss here, as soon as we do it according to this plan, the old man will transfer 10 million yuan in cash from Qianzhuang in various places in the near future, and transport it to Feng's Mansion in Gaozhou in the form of a team to transport goods, and the next thing will be to worry about Lao Xian's nephew." ”

Feng Ang smiled: "When Liu Fang's army triumphs, I will immediately send a caravan to Linyi, after the military disaster, it is a time when everything is in ruins, they will definitely not refuse our help at this time." ”

Yang Xuangan asked, "Can Liu Fang win?" Labor expeditions have always been very risky, and just a few years ago, the Han King Yang Liang went out to Goguryeo and almost completely wiped out. Will it succeed this time? ”

Yang Su's expression became stern: "Of course, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers. Although Liu Fang is a veteran of the battlefield. There is no problem with the number of troops, but there is a real possibility of defeat. ”

"Linyi has always been able to cut off the king, one is by geographical advantages, and the other is by climate, the soldiers of the Central Plains are often unsuitable for water and land, and diseases are always more lethal than local soldiers."

"If it is a land march, thousands of miles away, nine times out of ten it will lead to the plague rampant. Before he reached Linyi, he collapsed, so this time Liu Fang decided to follow the tactics of General Fubo's horse aid, advance by land and water, and cross the sea with the main force to penetrate the south of Linyi. ”

Yang Xuangan had heard this tactic just now, and he always felt that something was wrong, but this time he heard Yang Su mention it again, and his heart sank, and he understood where his worries came from, and blurted out: "When the expedition to Goguryeo that year, the navy encountered wind and waves, and the entire fleet was almost drowned in the North Sea. The sea is vast and vast. If you get lost or encounter a storm, won't you have to repeat the mistakes of the Goryeo navy? ”

Yang Su nodded: "What you said is that there is such a possibility, but we have the help of the Feng family this time, don't forget that the caravan under his command is specialized in doing business with Lin Yiguo by water, and when the time comes, with experienced guides, more than half of the success will be possible." This is not the same as the last expedition to Goryeo, when Yang Liang, the commander, was incompetent, had no guides, and hastily dispatched troops without mastering the hydrology and climate of the North Sea. ”

"The biggest advantage of taking the water route is that you can avoid the diseases caused by not adapting to the water and soil when you take the land route, and the other is that you can attack the enemy unprepared, and once you succeed, you can almost certainly destroy the enemy country."

"Taking a step back, even if I am really unlucky and encounter a storm and the whole army is wiped out, I will choose another strong general, and once again lead the army to go out, and it is not too difficult for us to send an army of forty or fifty thousand people."

"All in all, Lin Yi Guo must be beaten, until he is convinced, until the people of Lin Yi tremble when they see us Han people, and until they can be used as an overseas paradise for the safety of our Yang family."

When Yang Su said this, his voice became louder and louder, his head was held high, his fists were clenched, his eyes were bright and shining, his beard was floating without wind, and even the candle flame on the butter giant candle was blown to sway.

Yang Xuangan understood his father's determination and courage at this time, and nodded vigorously, while Feng Ang was also impressed by Yang Su's awe-inspiring momentum, and he bowed deeply to his waist.

Since the three of them have discussed it, Yang Xuangan was ordered by Yang Su to send Feng Ang out of the house, and along the way, the two casually chatted about some anecdotes in the Lingnan area, which also made Yang Xuangan grow a lot of knowledge, and Yang Xuangan ate a lot of noodles and cakes in Longxi along the way, and he could also chat with Feng Ang about the diet and daily life in Hanyin.

Outside the main gate, the two parted, Feng Ang came in an ordinary carriage, the car has been waiting at the door, Yang Xuangan was still pedestrians in the market when he first went home, and he didn't pay attention to this car, now that it is past the hour, the street is empty, and this carriage is particularly conspicuous.

Feng Ang boarded the carriage and said goodbye to Yang Xuangan, who watched the carriage disappear around the corner of the distant street before turning around and returning home.

After Feng Ang got into the carriage, Wang Shichong in the carriage smiled at him: "Brother Feng, how did you talk with Yue Guogong?" ”

Feng Ang sighed: "Sure enough, it's exactly the same as what Brother Wang said, the Duke of Yue has the heart to raise troops, if you hadn't reminded me in advance, I really couldn't believe it." Brother Wang, has the emperor's illness really reached the point of incurability? ”

Wang Shichong's eyebrows furrowed: "Even Yue Guogong has begun to leave a way back for himself, will this still be fake?" Besides, didn't you also hear the wind and came to me first? ”

Feng Ang spread his hands helplessly: "It seems that the world is going to be in chaos, even Yang Su has begun to arrange a way back for his family, and I have to prepare early." ”

Wang Shichong let out an "oh": "What, didn't they pull you to raise troops together?" ”

Feng Ang laughed: "Yesterday I made it very clear to Brother Wang, we Lingnan do not have the strength to compete for the world, no matter who wants to pull us into trouble, I will not agree, since I haven't even agreed to your brother Wang, an old guy who has cooperated with us for more than ten years, how can I agree to Yue Guogong?" ”

Wang Shichong laughed: "So Yue Guogong has nothing to gain, will he accept this fact so calmly and let you out?" ”

Feng Ang waved his hand: "Of course not, later he retreated, hoping that I could arrange for Yang Shizi and his clansmen to go to sea and defect to Linyi after their family was defeated." ”

Wang Shichong was a little surprised, and asked, "Lin Yiguo? But the Lin Yi that the general Liu Fang is now conquering? ”

Feng Ang nodded: "Exactly." Liu Fang was promoted by the Duke of Yueguo, and there were many guides sent by our Feng family in his army, so it seems that the Duke of Yue Guo had already laid out this move. ”

Wang Shichong slapped his thigh fiercely: "You can think of this trick, Yue Guogong is really powerful." He thought to himself, Yang Su seemed to have found a way out for his son and family, did he have any plans to give it a go? And it looks like I'm going to have to find a way to leave myself an escape route. (To be continued......)
