Chapter 109: Some Dusty Grievances
Wang Qingyan held the letter brought by the senior brother in his heart and didn't let go all night.
The senior brother naturally returned the same way, and after the three jumpers got the letter, they secretly returned to the city and returned a letter to Xie Shence.
This letter, naturally, was written by Xie Shence, and it was urgently transmitted to Huaiyang Dao through secret channels, so that the three jumpers could find a way to hand it over to Wang Qingyan.
At this time, it had been four days since Xie Shence officially accepted the emperor's appointment.
Xie Shence accepted the post of deputy admiral of the Tiqi Division personally appointed by Emperor Jin in the Tiqi Division four days ago, and the emperor personally awarded the Jindai goldfish and mandarin duck double swords.
In July of the fifth year of Zhenglong, Xie Shence officially served as the commander of the Jin State Tiqi Division.
As soon as this news came out, the world was in an uproar.
In the Southern Song Dynasty, the Southern Song Dynasty Emperor Zhao Ju looked at the extremely young Lu Ju in front of him, his eyes were full of questions. Lu Juan smiled slightly bitterly, and said nothing to Emperor Song.
In Western Qin, Ying Si and Zhang Shuo stood in front of the huge map of the world for a long time, and their eyes were full of puzzlement.
In Beiyan, on the seat paved with tiger skin in the main hall, there is a big man with a bare chest and belly lying on his side. There were several beauties beside the big man, wrapped in light yarn, pouring wine and pinching their shoulders and peeling grapes, but none of them dared to exceed the rules, and His Royal Highness knelt with two Huangmenlang. The big man walked with his hands on the beauty, but his eyes were extremely clear. The two beauties were pinched to bruise, and no one dared to show pain on their faces, and the movements in their hands did not dare to stop at all. The Great Han is the Northern Yan Emperor Murong Kui.
As for Xianbei, Tuoba Rui met with Yuwen Hongdu at this time with the Krulun River to discuss launching a final general attack on Duanbu. However, at this time, the big tent of the Chinese army was silent, and Tuoba Rui and Yuwenhong both looked at the open parchment on the table, and their eyes flashed.
In the Great Jin Dynasty, Wang Laoshangshu of Huaiyang Dao heard the news, twisted his beard with two fingers, and kept it secretive, Wang Zhen, Wang Dai, and Wang Ding sat down, and Xie Yun served tea on the side.
In Shandong Road, Li Tu and Wei Liao sat on the left and right, drinking with each other.
This is the reaction of the people of the world to Xie Shence taking over the post of Admiral of the Tiqi Division. A lot of people are waiting for Xie Shence's performance
After the change of commander, there is really not much change in the Ti Cavalry Division, except for the change of master in the Admiral's Office, everything in the Ti Cai Division is running as usual, and even all the strategies formulated by Wei Liao before have basically not changed.
Xie Shence was in the Tiqi Division, sitting at his desk with Zhou Jinmian to check some files.
Zhou Jinmian handed over a file and said, "There have been some recent rumors about Huaiyang Dao, you may be interested. ”
Xie Shence took the file and looked at it, and it was really related to him.
The Wang family will marry the Cai family in August, and the two parties will exchange marriage letters at that time, and Wang Daisan's third lady, Wang Qingyan, will be engaged to Cai Kang, the third young master of the Cai family.
Xie Shence's anger was suddenly ignited.
But he kept his emotions under control very well.
The Cai family is also the leading family in Huaiyang Road, in Wuxi, the Cai family is the first family, the people are prosperous and the family property is extremely strong, people call the Cai family Taihu Cai. It means that the entire Taihu Lake belongs to the Cai family.
Thirty years ago, the south of the Yangtze River was still the boundary of Dongwu, the Cai family was the first family in Dongwu, with the power of mountains, seas, fish and salt, rich in the world, at that time there were no six major business gangs in the world, recognized as several major business groups, Cai was the first in the world.
At that time in Soochow, in addition to being rich, the Cai family also had power, and the ancestors of the Cai family had the "Four Worlds and Three Dukes" in the history of Soochow, and they were real protégés everywhere, and the peach and plum were all over the world. It is said that in the last years of Eastern Wu, the decree of the Emperor of Wu went out of Jinling City, if there was no permission of the Cai family, it would be a dead letter.
Later, the Jin and Song Dynasty coalition forces attacked Wu, all the way like a bamboo, and after capturing the quarry, it was under the cooperation of the Wu family that they took the Jinling City that could not be attacked in March. Later, the Cai family attached itself to the Southern Song Dynasty, led the Jinling Assassin History, and the military forces of Jiangnan Province, truly achieving the hegemony of the party.
However, the good times did not last long, and the Jin State did not get the coveted jade seal, and made enemies with the Qin State, causing the Song State to take the opportunity to attack the Jin State. The Song Kingdom won at the beginning and then lost, and was connected by Xie Yi for more than 50 cities, so there was later Xie Yun's "Guanshan Fifty Prefectures". The Cai family did their best in that war, but later it all came to naught, and the Cai family was also washed by Xie Yi's unreasonable blood, and the century-old power was under Xie Yi's butcher's knife, and there was almost no eleven in its heyday.
In the later negotiations between the knife and the pen, the Southern Song Dynasty ceded a large area of land in Wuxi Taihu Lake and even Hangzhou as compensation to appease the anger of the Jin state.
The Cai family was naturally also included in the territory of the Jin Kingdom.
So the Cai family, which could be called the first family in the world back then, declined into a second-class family in Huaiyangdao of the Jin Kingdom.
Huaiyang Dao eight families, except for the Wang family as the first, the remaining seven are all second-class.
Therefore, after Xie Shence saw that it was a marriage with the Cai family, in addition to being very angry, he also had twelve points of contempt.
The remnants of the Xie family's knife in the past, An dare to commit the tiger again!
Xie Shence played with the seal of the Tiqi Commander left by Wei Liao, and calculated in his heart.
He's going to ruin the marriage.
Naturally, he couldn't explain it directly to Mrs. Xie or Lao Shangshu, so he could only start from the Cai family.
Xie Shence took a copy of the Cai family's file from Zhou Jinmian and looked at it carefully.
The history of the Cai family is not clean, when he rebelled against Wu and left the Song Dynasty, he was scolded by Xie Yi at the face of the old lady of the Cai family and scolded the "three surnamed slaves", and the current emperor is more majestic than benevolent to the Cai family after he ascends the throne. Such a disloyal, unfaithful, unrighteous and unkind family is something that any emperor will strictly guard against.
The Cai family has been living in the Yangwang family for twenty years. Although it is still the largest family in Wuxi, the original benefits of mountains, seas, fish and salt are gone, and even many legitimate businesses have been squeezed out by the Gu family, which is extremely difficult.
This is the current situation of the Cai family's existence.
So at this time, the marriage between the Wang family and the Cai family is indeed a life-saving medicine for the Cai family.
In fact, the Cai family was preparing for this family affair very early, but their goal at that time was Wang Jiehua, but what they were caught off guard was that the tacit understanding between Taifu Xie and Wang Laoshangshu disrupted the rhythm of the Cai family. Fortunately, the Wang family also has a Wang Qingyan of the same size.
So ten years ago, the Cai family began to plan this day.
Of course, it is definitely not only their Cai family who is planning Wang Qingyan, in addition to the Cai family, the six families of Xiao Gu, Chen Zhou, Zhang Yan are also actively fighting, and it is not easy for the Cai family to achieve their wishes, but fortunately, in the end, Wang Laoshangshu chose the Cai family.
The Cai family's only understanding of this is: the Cai family is obedient enough.
However, Xie Shence was sneering.
Is it necessary for the owner to save the best piece of meat for the most loyal dog?
Of course, the Cai family is a dog, and Wang Qingyan is definitely not meat.
Even if it's meat, that's what he's thankful for!
This move was definitely not something that Wang Laoshangshu came up with.
Xie Shence has been with Wang Laoshangshu for ten years, and he is definitely the person who knows him best in Chuzhou except for Lao Shangshu's three sons and his aunt Xie Yun. Xie Shence already knew that Wang Qingyan liked him, so he wouldn't think that Lao Shangshu, who was calculating the world, would not be able to see it.
At this time, it was already mid-July, and judging from the news from the three jumpers, the decision to marry the Cai family was definitely after Xie Shence became the governor, that is to say, Lao Shangshu knew and after the whole world knew about it, he decided to marry Wang Qingyan to Cai Kang.
This is where Xie Shence is puzzled.
Since the Wang family has formed an alliance with the Xie family, they will never find another ally, and this ally is really not good enough. Wang Qingyan likes Xie Shence, and Xie Shence undoubtedly likes Wang Qingyan, so what is the intention of marrying Wang Qingyan to the Cai family, who has a grudge against the Xie family?
The reason why it is said that the Xie Cai family has a grudge is because of Xie Yi's words.
When Xie Yi went down to more than 50 cities in the Southern Song Dynasty, he once killed the Cai family's long house, and when the old lady of the Cai family trembled and signed the agreement with Toucheng, Xie Yi said "three family slaves" The old lady Cai, who had just finished signing, vomited blood three liters and died.
This can be regarded as a blood feud. Even the second room, the contemporary head of the Cai family, who was lucky enough to ascend to the throne because the long house was all killed, also maintained the greatest hostility towards Xie Yi and the Xie family.
So Xie Shence didn't quite understand what the basis for Lao Shangshu to do this.
Under both sides. Concentrate?
Just kidding, the current Cai family is not worthy of being the opponent of the Xie family at all, and the Wang family will definitely not be so stupid.
So what is the reason?
Xie Shence brought the file of the year and looked at it slowly.
The Great Jin Dynasty was the most stormy Great Jin, three consecutive national wars, the twenty years of hard work of the four famous ministers of Zhongxing were ruined, Sima Deguang, who was known as the rock of the Great Jin Dynasty, died of illness after the Battle of Hangu Pass, if it were not for the birth of Xie Yi, the Great Jin would be worried.
After the war, the Great Jin Dynasty's top priority was not to repair relations with all parties, but to digest the fat of Jiangnan Province that was snatched from the Southern Song Dynasty, and to consolidate the narrow strategic points taken from the Qin State along the line from Hangu Pass to Tongguan. And the most urgent among them is not even to consolidate Hangu Pass, but to urgently obtain fresh blood from Jiangnan Province.
At that time, Wang Jianghuai, who had already established the prototype of Huai Shang, was already a secretary of the household department, and he proposed that Jiangnan Province be annexed to Huaiyang Province and implement a unified new policy, and the young emperor Tian Qi agreed with this opinion, so in a very short period of time, Huaiyang Province Jiangnan quickly prospered.
The prosperity of Jiangnan brought about the rise of the Wang family and Huai merchants, and since then there has been the story of the six major merchant gangs in the world.
The rapid maturity of the Huaishang Gang helped the Great Jin Dynasty recover quickly in a very short period of time, and the two fed each other, and in the past two decades, the national strength of the Great Jin Dynasty was raised to an unprecedented level of strength.
This is the greatest achievement after the three national wars of the Great Jin Dynasty more than 20 years ago.
And in the process. The Huaishang Gang played an irreplaceable role.
In the Huaishang Gang, the Cai family also played an irreplaceable role.
But where exactly did the Cai family work? What irreplaceable role has it played? What role does the Cai family play in the Huaishang Gang and in the Great Jin Dynasty?
This is the focus of Xie Shence's search.
