Chapter 630: Wang Dun is about to die
When the news that King Yan intended to dismiss the Laoshan Trading Company and set up the 'Imperial Merchants' spread to the outside world, it caused a huge shock, especially some super-rich businessmen. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Over the years, as long as you are not a fool, you can see how profitable Laoshan Trading Company is, and no one is jealous in the middle, just because Laoshan Trading Company has a strong background, and no one dares to act rashly.
Originally, the wealthy businessmen thought that they would survive in the shadow of the Laoshan Trading Company in this life, but they did not expect that today's King Yan not only 'cut off his arm' - deposed the huge Laoshan Trading Company, but also gave the Guangshang Merchants the status of 'Imperial Merchants' to replace the status of the Laoshan Trading Company.
When the original shareholders heard that King Yan intended to dissolve the trading company, many people ran to Zhu Wen and Zhang Dalang to inquire, and later learned that King Yan did not want to ban the Laoshan trading company, but divided it into five and named it the imperial businessman, and everyone was at ease.
At the same time, after getting the news, merchants from all over the country gathered in Laoshan to try to obtain the name of the emperor.
ā¦ā¦
Gu Yu City is a very young city, the city was built in the Huangwu period of Eastern Wu, the real name of Gu Xiao, but before and after the establishment of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
At that time, the imperial court considered that Gu Xiaocheng was "forced to come to Jiangzhu, merchants gathered, and fish and salt gathered!" ā
Then the city was guarded, and the salt and rice were accumulated here, and the south of the city was close to the Gu Xi River, because it was called the Gu Yu City.
The geographical location of Gu is very important, and the "Taiping Mansion Chronicles" records: "Gu Yu Chong wants, and the secret is in Beijing." "Longshan refers to the south, and Niuzhu borders to the north." "The victory of the country is the wonder of the world." "The left Tianmen, the right Niuzhu, the iron urn is straight to the east, and the stone pillow is to the north."
It has been a barrier to Jiangdong since ancient times.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Sun Ce conquered Niuzhu and then occupied Jiangdong to become the Three Kingdoms;
Yu Yunwen of the Southern Song Dynasty commanded nearly 20,000 stragglers here to defeat the 400,000 led by the Emperor of Jin, creating a miracle in military history.
Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, conquered Guyi City, obtained a foothold in Jiangdong, and then seized Jiangdong, laying the foundation of the Ming Dynasty.
In the first year of Taining, the general Wang Dun led his army into Guyi, threatening the safety of Jianye all the time.
And Sima Shao, the son of heaven, tried every possible way to seize Gu and eradicate Wang Dun.
While Wei Shuo was busy rectifying the Laoshan Trading Company, Sima Shao, the Son of Heaven, finally waited for the opportunity to pacify Wang Dun.
Since the beginning of spring in the first year of Taining, the general Wang Dun's health has deteriorated day by day, and there have been signs of terminal illness in recent days.
With Wang Dun's poor health, Guyu City has been placed under martial law, and any person who travels with him will be closely interrogated by Wang Dun's sergeant.
In autumn, the streets of Guyu gradually feel more and more pleasant coolness, and the surrounding scenery changes day by day. With more than ten years of peaceful years of accumulation, coupled with the fact that Guyu is located on the main traffic artery, the prosperity of Guyu is not much worse than that of Jianye and other big cities.
However, compared with the lively street market, the streets near the General's Mansion in Guyu City are very quiet and solemn. It turned out that Qian Feng, Wang Han and others thought that the noisy people would disturb the general's cultivation, so they specially ordered the soldiers to guard the streets near the general, and strictly forbade any idle people to approach.
At noon, a young man of about twenty-seven or eighteen years of age, under the protection of four sturdy guards, came hurrying from a distance. The guards concerned were about to step forward to scold, but after seeing the true face of the person who came, the guards didn't dare to say anything more, and let him rush to the direction of the General's Mansion.
The young man came to the door, threw the reins to the guards, and ran straight to the inner hall without saying nonsense.
Unexpectedly, the young man just wanted to break inside, but he saw Deng Yue flash out and stop him: "Xiao Langjun, wait a minute, the military advisor is discussing important matters with the lord, and he has ordered the last general not to let anyone disturb him." ā
Wang Ying only glanced at Deng Yue casually, and said indifferently: "I also have an urgent military situation here to report to my father, you go in and pass it on." ā
Deng Yue glanced at Wang Ying with some embarrassment, and after hesitating for a moment, he still blocked the door, not letting Wang Ying in.
Wang Ying frowned slightly, and couldn't help but reprimand: "The military situation I want to report is not only urgent, but also quite important, and it is a matter of life and death for the army, how can it be delayed?" You go in and report it yourself, whether you see it or not, your father will decide, and I will bear the blame for the general, what are you rubbing here? ā
"Who's making noise outside?"
Hearing Wang Dun's question, Wang Ying glanced at Deng Yue with a blank face, and replied loudly: "Father, the child has an emergency military intelligence report, and General Deng stopped the child from entering. ā
There was silence inside for a while, only to hear a slightly tired voice come out, "Ying'er, come in and talk!" ā
Wang Ying didn't say much, glanced at Deng Yue arrogantly, and regardless of the other party's reaction, he walked into the inner hall with his head held high.
Looking at Wang Ying's back, Deng Yue couldn't help but feel pessimistic about the future, now that Wang Dun is seriously ill, it is all up to Qian Feng to maintain the operation of the General's Mansion.
Once Wang Dun has three longs and two shorts, how can Wang Ying, who only relies on the sons of gentlemen, have the ability to inherit Wang Dun's career? Although Qian Feng is extraordinary, he is just a staff member and has no qualifications to command the whole army. Not to mention that Zhou Fu wouldn't listen to Qian Feng, even Deng Yue was not very willing.
Knowing that today, Deng Yue would not be in a hurry to take refuge in Wang Dun, it is better to take refuge in King Yan like Mao Bao.
Not to mention that Deng Yue, who was guarding outside the door, had a messy mind, just said that as soon as Wang Ying entered, he saw his father Wang Dun lying on the couch, and the person next to him was his mastermind Qian Feng. The two seemed to be talking about something, and they kept talking to each other sideways.
"What the hell is going on to make you break in like this?" Wang Dun was slightly dissatisfied.
Seeing this scene, Wang Ying didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Father, my son has an urgent military intelligence report here, and he has just received a report from the secret agent who is in charge of monitoring Xi Jian, and after Xi Jian arrived in Danyang, he immediately betrayed us and took refuge in the imperial court again. He received a large amount of supplies from Sima Shao, and was reorganizing his troops and horses day and night, intending to attack Guyi. ā
"After all, Xi Jian is the person that the first emperor once relied on, and he was only forced to come to Gu Yi because of the power of the general, and now when he goes out of Danyang, I am afraid that he has already colluded with Sima Shao."
Qian Feng added worriedly: "These are not the most worrying, the key is that Xi Jian has been in Gu for many days, I am afraid that he has thoroughly observed our army, if he tells the Son of Heaven the details of our waiting, it is difficult to guarantee that Sima Shao will not take advantage of the general's critical illness to eradicate us!" ā
Originally, Wang Dun's illness had improved slightly in the past few days, and he wanted to clear his ears for a few days, but when he heard Wang Ying and Qian Feng's reports, his face suddenly sank, and he felt that he had been deceived by everyone, and his chest was surging with qi and blood.
"The shaft is abominable! The angry old man is also! Wang Dun screamed, vomited blood, and fainted.
ā¦ā¦
In the evening, in the new pavilion by the river, Wang Dao walked here alone, watching a new moon emerge from the direction of Guyi, and he fell into painful memories......
Eighteen years ago in Luoyang, his brother Wang Dun pulled him with one hand and Wang Kuang with the other, and said angrily: "The life and death of my Wang family's wealth and wealth are here!" ā
When they first arrived in Jianye, Wang Dao and Wang Dun brothers followed behind Sima Rui's shoulders, and they were in their prime.
At that time, Wang Dao, Zhou Yi and a group of celebrities often met in the afternoon to drink in the new pavilion, every time until late at night, how comfortable.
It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, and his brother Wang Dun became more powerful and ambitious, so he actually attacked Jianye for the first time in the name of "Qingjun's side", and asked him: "Can Zhou Yi and Dai Yuan be killed?" ā
And, there's ...... Sima Rui's wizened hands reappeared like a dream......
Soon Director Wang remembered that a few days ago, he received the news that his cousin Wang Dun was vomiting blood and fainting, and according to his estimates, Wang Dun did not have much time to live.
Even though he had a conflict with Wang Dun, when the news of Wang Dun's dying came, Wang Dao still felt sad about it.
Wang Dao Muran leaned on the edge of the pavilion, looking at the glowing stars looming in the night sky, and the past came to his mind like smoke......
Boren is gone, the first emperor is gone, and the middle is dying, who else can I drink and have fun with in the future?
With Wang Dun suddenly becoming seriously ill, the situation in Jiangdong suddenly became clear.
Sima Shao in Jianye City was in high spirits, and immediately declared Wang Dun a rebellion, and issued a letter to the surrounding areas to crusade against Wang Dun.
After receiving the letter from various places, Guo Mo, Su Jun, and Zu Yue, the three generals of Huainan, Tao Kan, the military governor of Guang Erzhou, and Xi Jian, who guarded Danyang, and other generals from all over the country raised troops to respond to the call of the Son of Heaven.
