Chapter 116: Schadenfreude

Peng Chaodong is not wrong, He Tengxiao's beating of He Shizhong is just a personal fight between the two of them on the surface. However, due to the special identities of the two, if you look deeper through the surface phenomenon, more people will understand this matter as the infighting of the He family.

After this matter reached the ears of the Huang people, the attitude of the Huang people was completely different from Peng Chaodong. Huang Yongtao, Huang Jinjiang and others were overjoyed when they learned that He Tengxiao and He Shizhong were fighting, and the Huang family was naturally happy to see the internal fighting.

The He clan is the only clan in Liaodong that is on par with the Huang clan in strength at present, and perhaps the overall strength of the Huang clan will be slightly better than that of the He clan. However, the two groups are roughly half a catty and eight taels, comparable, the Huang family had better hope that this matter will be as fierce as possible, and the best toss of the He family's vitality will be greatly damaged, and the Huang family will benefit from it.

"The He clan fights, good, good, good, good." Huang Jinjiang said three good words in a row, and he almost applauded.

Huang Jinjiang will never forget the humiliation he suffered on Yunguam Island, especially the name He Tengxiao, which he has always remembered in his heart.

He Tengxiao rose to prominence within a year, rising from a penniless hundred households to a battalion general, and many people were blushing at this. At the age of 20, he became a military attache at the level of a battalion general, and he still relied on real military merits, how could such a dazzling feat not arouse people's eyes? The so-called youth is nothing more than that.

He Tengxiao is only 20 years old this year, and the chaos in eastern Liaodong is the time for martial artists to show their skills and win wealth and meritorious deeds. Where He Tengxiao's big friend comes in, the camp will only be a new starting point on He Tengxiao's career, not the end.

Huang Jinjiang's martial arts rank is also a battalion general, and his quality is not lower than He Tengxiao's, but the gold content of Huang Jinjiang's battalion general is far less than that of He Tengxiao. The imperial court awarded Huang Jinjiang the position of camp general, more because Huang Jinjiang was the only son of the Huang family, rather than because of his military exploits, and the color of comfort was relatively strong.

Although the fiefdom of the Huang clan is richer than that of the He clan, in recent decades, the children of the Huang clan have rarely become famous generals, and Huang Yongtao is barely the last one. The number of famous generals produced by the He clan is considered to be withered compared to the previous generation, but compared with the Huang family, the famous generals produced by the He clan are not small. Not to mention, He Fangxiong himself, He Shilong, He Shihu, He Shibao, He Tengxiao, and He Shijie who died in the first battle of Yingzhou. They are all the top generals in Liaodong.

"This kid, that's it!" Although Huang Yongtao said this, his heart was also happy.

"It's a pity that we didn't take Yun Guam Island, otherwise we would have been able to put pressure on the He clan this time." Yan Pu sighed regretfully.

"Without Yun Guam, can't you put pressure on the He family?" Huang Yongtao frowned, a little dissatisfied with Yan Pu's remarks, "Our Huang Clan Water Camp is the largest water camp in Liaodong, on the sea, the He family is not the opponent of my Huang Clan Water Camp?" ”

"The rest of the He family is okay to say, only this He Tengxiao is not good at stubble, He Tengxiao attaches more importance to the water camp than his subordinates imagined, and the warships of the Yunguam Naval Division are extremely strong, and the subordinates suspect that the warships of Yunguam Island are the warships purchased by He Tengxiao from the Longjiang Shipyard, and the subordinates have never seen such a strong warship except for the warships of the Longjiang Shipyard before."

Yan Pu still remembers the sturdiness of the naval warships of the Cloud Guam Island.

"Can't our He Clan's Wanghai Shipyard build such a warship?"

Huang Yongtao made a bloody investment to build a naval division, Wanghai Shipyard is a first-class shipyard in the north of the empire, the largest shipyard in eastern Liaodong, and when he heard that the warship of the Guam Naval Division of He Teng Xiaoyun was stronger than the warship built by Wanghai Shipyard, his heart was a little blocked.

Yan Pu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "The warships built by Wanghai Shipyard are superior warships, but compared with the warships manufactured by Longjiang Shipyard, the gap is still relatively large. ”

Yan Pu was born as an officer in the naval division and was relatively expert in warships. Longjiang Shipyard has nearly 300 years of shipbuilding heritage, and the shipbuilding technology should be abandoned by Wanghai Shipyard, which has only been established for more than ten years. Not only in terms of shipbuilding technology, but also the gap between the shipbuilding craftsmen of Wanghai Shipyard and Longjiang Shipyard in terms of shipbuilding materials and Longjiang Shipyard is not a star and a half.

"Although He Tengxiao's warships are strong, as far as this king knows, all of He Tengxiao's warships add up to no more than ten, and there are more than a hundred warships of my Huang Clan's sailors, and in terms of quantity, my Huang Clan's water battalion is far more than He Tengxiao's small water battalion." Huang Yongtao looked at Yan Pu with half-squinted eyes, "Yan Pu, are you interested in going again?" ”

"If there is any change in the He clan, Yan Pu is willing to go again." Yan Pu hugged his fists.

The moonlight is like a blur, and the dark night sky is like thick ink that cannot be dissolved.

Fuzhou, Wu'an Mansion.

There were several lanterns hanging on the corridor opposite Wu Angong's study, and after the night wind blew, the lanterns were swayed by the night wind.

The grass and trees planted in front of He Fangxiong's study swayed in the wind, and the shadows of the trees swayed.

"These two boys, isn't this a deliberate attempt to let outsiders see our He family's jokes?" He Fangxiong was very irritable, "Now the entire Liaodong is boiling, how can this end!" ”

He Fangxiong tried his best to control his emotions, especially the two hidden arrows tied to his arms. These two sleeve arrows are the two sleeve arrows that He Tengxiao gave him, He Fangxiong likes it tightly, and he ties the sleeve arrows to his arms when he has nothing to do on weekdays.

Fortunately, these two sleeve arrows are not very heavy, otherwise He Fangxiong has two pieces of metal wrapped around his arms at his age, and it is estimated that He Fangxiong's two arms will not be able to lift it in a few days.

"Young people are strong for a while, who is not impulsive when they are young, it will be fine after a while, the rumors outside are all messages, Wu Angong doesn't need to take it to heart." He Mingye comforted He Fangxiong.

"I'm afraid it's not that simple." He Fangxiong did not agree with He Mingye's opinion, "He Tengxiao, I'm not worried, I'm worried about He Shizhong's kid, this matter started because of him, and he was beaten again, this kid has never suffered such a big loss since he was a child, and besides, this kid is narrow-minded, I'm afraid he won't be able to swallow this breath." ”

He Shizhong is also the object of He Fangxiong's final cultivation, and his performance when he was a child was also good, and he has made several rounds of soldiers and made some military achievements. Since then, on the issue of choosing the commander of the Xiaoqi battalion, He Fangxiong chose He Shijie instead of He Shizhong, and He Shijie's identity as the eldest grandson is a reason. A more important reason is that although He Shizhong has some talents, but his character is not good, he is the number one gentleman of the He family, He Fangxiong is not at ease to hand over the Xiaoqi camp that he has worked hard to build in the second half of his life to He Shizhong, but let He Shizhong take the Teng Leopard Battalion.

"Or the head of the house will bring them both? persuaded He Tengxiao to bow his head to He Shizhong and admit his mistake and settle the matter. He Tengxiao should be able to understand the general situation. He Mingye asked for He Fangxiong's opinion, He Shizhong was arrogant, if He Tengxiao could give He Shizhong a bow, maybe he could calm the resentment in He Shizhong's heart and understand this matter.

He Fangxiong pondered: "I can only do this, it's just that Teng Xiao is a little aggrieved, and the fault of this matter is not Teng Xiao." Tomorrow I will write a letter to Teng Xiao to talk about. ”

Looking at the shadows of the trees under the moonlight outside the window, a sense of sleepiness came up, He Fangxiong rubbed his temples and said to He Mingye: "Mingye, you go down first, I'm a little tired." (To be continued.) )
