The private room of Jingu Hong is on the third floor of the Fei Le Building, which is very spacious and close to the West Lake. When Qu Fatzi and Bai Zhanji arrived, there were two brightly dressed women and two rather clever young men standing at the door.

The former is a person from Fengle Building, who brings tea and water and sings small songs, accompanies wine and sleeps with poetry, and is proficient in everything. And they are all young and beautiful, and they can also be mixed with red heads when they go to Wazi Lane. Now he is mixed up in the "securities company" -- it's not that this Fengle Lou is not serious, but that the restaurants of the Song Dynasty are all virtuous. Now it has been changed to a securities company, and it is not good to fire everyone, so it will be retained. But Bai Zhanji is right, these women earn a lot more in Fengle Lou than Wazi Lane, and they are not easy to be deceived by romantic talents.

And the latter is also a person from Fengle Building, who is called a tooth man, which is the meaning of a broker, and his actual job is to report the market and help place orders. Each private room is equipped with two dedicated tooth people. But now the woman and the tooth man are guarding the door, and there are obviously people inside talking about something important.

The four people at the door all recognized Bai Zhanji and diligently informed him to push the door. Bai Zhanji walked in with Qu Fatzi.

In the private room, two people were sitting against the window, and they all got up to greet Qu Huajie when they saw him come in. One of them is Liu Xiaoyuan, and the other is Deng Qiuzhong.

The four of them already know each other and know their respective identities, which can be regarded as forming an intelligence network. It's not safe from the point of view of intelligence work, but the current shape is special, and it can't be controlled so much.

After Bai Zhanji brought Qu Fatzi here, he retreated to guard outside the door. Only Qu Huajie, Liu Xiaoyuan and Deng Qiuzhong were left in the room.

After taking separate seats. Deng Qiuzhong was the first to speak: "The news I just received, Zhao Xin'an has already submitted a request to Zhishi. ”

"What?" Qu Fat Man was stunned for a moment.

Zhao Xin'an is Zhao Kui, the current ambassador of Jiangnan East Road to pacify. The ambassador was placed along the river and sentenced to build a Kang Mansion. At the same time, he is also the old benefactor of the two Huai generals, and the oldest military general in the Great Song Dynasty.

Deng Qiuzhong said: "Zhao Xin'an is almost eighty years old, and he has indeed reached the age of returning to the office. ”

To be honored is to retire with honor. Zhao Kui is a lot older, and it's time to retire. But in the past four years, Lao Zhao Kui has been guarding Jiankang like the door god of Lin'an. Most of the town marshals of Lianghuai and Jinghu are his juniors, and they can always be calmed down.

"What does the imperial court mean?" Qu Huajie asked.

"Naturally, it's gracious, Zhao Xin'an is almost eighty years old after all."

"Then who will take over Jiankang?"

"Li Tingzhi." Deng Qiuzhong is very well-informed. He said, "There is only one Li Tingzhi available in Jia Rudao's entrainment, his 6,000 Chu Yong also has some combat strength, and his Wurui army now has 20,000 people." It's also a powerhouse. ”

Tuanlian and Xiangyong have always been said together. Now the group training of Song Guo Daxing. They are all called by the name of the region where their hometown is located, and the word Yong is added. Li Tingzhi is a native of Suizhou, Suizhou belongs to Chu, and his soldiers are called "Chu Yong". Jiang Wanli's soldiers are all from Jiangxi, so they are naturally "Gan Yong". As for Ma Guangzu and Shi Yanzhi, both of whom are from Zhejiang, their soldiers are "Zhejiang Yong". In addition to Chu Yong, Gan Yong, and Zhe Yong, there are Wu Yong in Jiangdong, Min Yong in Fujian, and Yue Yong in Guangdong. Taken together, these "six braves" have become the basis of the military force of the Great Song Dynasty today.

As for some prefectures and counties, which are directly under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, Huaidong, Hunan, and Guangxi, there are no group exercises. Because the literary style of Hunan and Guangxi was not prosperous at this time. There is no famous scholar to rely on. And Huaidong ...... It was the place where Chen Dexing lived, and he was under the control of the two Huai generals for a long time. The Southern Song Dynasty court really didn't dare to rest assured.

Qu Huajie noticed that Liu Xiaoyuan and Deng Qiuzhong both showed excited expressions, so he asked: "Zhao Xin'an, is there something going on on Jiangnan East Road?" ”

Deng Qiuzhong said: "Song Yingxiong, who was born in Huaishang, is the old department of Zhao Xin'an, and now he is stationed in Chizhou, with more than 10,000 troops. As soon as Zhao Xin'an retreated, Song Yingxiong was unstable, and he was either deprived of military power by the imperial court, or he asked for an envoy. ”

After the military generals in the border towns were divided and the Jiangnan scholars ran their own group training, the military generals and military leaders who still accepted the control of the imperial court are now in a relatively embarrassing position. On the one hand, the imperial court did not trust them, and there was also force to replace them, and they were no longer needed; On the other hand, these warriors were also tempted when they saw the scenery of the border towns. Even Zhao Kui was not very obedient in Jiangdong, and gathered a lot of troops who withdrew from Lianghuai to cross the river and formed a guerrilla army, which can be regarded as his own descendant force. However, Zhao Kui is already seventy or eighty years old after all, and he is no longer ambitious. Now I go to the book to ask for it, so as not to get caught in the conflict between the Ming and Song dynasties and it is normal to not be able to protect the late season.

Anyway, his old man's face is big, and Chen Dexing's grandfather was all pulled by him. Even if Chen Dexing becomes the emperor, he will not lose his family's wealth, what are he waiting for if he doesn't recuperate early? Is it difficult to wait for Chen Dexing to call?

"It is impossible for this Song Yingxiong to honestly hand over the military power, he will definitely go to the table to ask for the envoy to be sealed!" Liu Xiaoyuan shook his head with a smile, "It's nothing more than 100,000 and 200,000 yuan of military expenses, Pu Shougeng will ask someone to be a lobbyist tomorrow, this matter is nine out of ten!" ”

Deng Qiuzhong frowned: "Now that the imperial court has abundant troops and financial resources, how can you let Song Yingxiong possess a state?" will inevitably make Li Tingzhi crusade. At that time, the Yangtze River channel should be cut off, will the price of this rice ......"

"It's going to go up!" Qu Fatzi snapped his fingers and said, "Isn't Pu Shougeng just waiting for this opportunity?" No matter how good Li Tingzhi can fight, it will always take one or two months from dispatching troops to pacifying. Now it's ...... In March, if Song Yingxiong had raised troops in early April, it would have been quick to pacify him in June. ”

"It's not that easy!" Liu Xiaoyuan is knowledgeable about military affairs, he sneered, "These veteran oilers are just looking at money when they fight, as long as Pu Shougeng comes up with a million, Li Tingzhi will not be able to calm the chaos by the end of the year." ”

Qu Fatzi smiled and said, "I can't reach the end of the year...... Because by the beginning of June at the latest, Pu Shougeng will be bankrupt! ”

……

"God help me!"

In West Lake, Xilin Bridge, and Haiyun Hall, Pu Shougeng has also received the news of Zhao Kui's request for Zhishi.

Pu Shousheng looked at his younger brother and asked calmly, "What's the matter?" ”

Pu Shougeng patted the case, gritted his teeth and said, "Zhao Kui, that old thing!" The above table is asking for help! ”

"This old man is almost 80, it's time to pay tribute."

"This old thing is making way for Chen Dexing......"

"Make way for Chen Dexing?"

Pu Shousheng thought about it carefully, and it seemed to be the same thing. No matter how much Kublai Khan slapped his swollen face, he couldn't compare to Chen Dexing's growing territory on the map. How shrewd is Zhao Kui? Do you know that the Battle of Hebei was a complete victory for the Ming Dynasty? And Chen Dexing is the overlord of the sea, who knows when he will cross the sea and come to take Jiangnan? How will Zhao Kui be good then?

"In vain, his reputation is in vain, and the matter is like a coward!" Pu Shousheng looked disdainful.

"It's not surprising that he is just surnamed Zhao, and he is not a royal person." Pu Shougeng waved his hand and said, "The Han people did not change their surnames once or twice, and few ministers were martyred. If you come to Mongolia, the situation is different. ”

"Haiyun, what are we going to do?" Pu Shousheng looked at his younger brother and frowned deeply, "We are not even Han Chinese, why bother with Chen Dexing?" ”

When Pu Shougeng heard this, his tears were about to fall: "It's not because of the Heavenly Sect?" Big brother, do you want our Pu family to be a Kafir? ”

"Doesn't the scripture say that when the strength is not enough, you can temporarily obey Kafir?"

"No, ......"

Pu Shougeng shook his head repeatedly, "We are all things not the Lord, but Allah." The Ming Dynasty is omnipotent, only Taiyi! ”

Such was the inclusiveness of 13th-century monotheism! In the West, the war between the two monotheistic religions is still going on. On Chen Dexing's territory, although it is not absolutely forbidden to have other monotheists outside the Tiandao Sect, it has never allowed any other monotheistic religious sites to appear.

As for the captured Semu people, in order to be released as slaves, in addition to paying a ransom, there is now one more condition, they must be converted to the Heavenly Daoist Sect, and a senior Taoist of the Heavenly Daoist Sect must personally introduce them to the Daomen. If the Pu family, who used to be an enemy of Chen Dexing and is still against Chen Dexing, wants to change his face, it is at least necessary to convert to the way of heaven.

"Let's go......" Pu Shousheng was silent for a long time, but still sighed. If the Pu family is just their two brothers, believe in the way of heaven and believe in the way of heaven. However, the Pu family still has a lot of deployment and clansmen, and now the Pu family's merchant fleet is still active in the southern waters and the Indian Ocean. The deployment and people of these Pu families all believe in the true God. If the two heads of the Pu family convert to the Heavenly Dao, then the people below will definitely rebel. At that time, Pu Shougeng and Pu Shousheng can only retire in Daming.

"That's right! Or just walked away. Pu Shougeng said with a smile, "When Liu Xiaoyuan comes back, I will give him 200,000 yuan, I know his ability...... It's going to make a mess. When the time comes, the late appointment will definitely rise sharply, and we will win. But after winning, how to go has to be summed up, maybe there will be 30 million! ”

"You definitely can't send money through Tiandaozhuang...... It is impossible to take 30 million pieces of copper out, and the Song State banned the export of copper, and the amount is small, but it is impossible to go out 30 million pieces at a time. ”

Pu Shousheng frowned and thought about it, although the money had not yet arrived, but in his opinion, it was already nine out of ten. However, it is very difficult to take away so much money.

"You can only buy it and ship it away!" Pu Shougeng said, "Where are our boats?" Can you get to Quanzhou in time? ”

"Luzon, our ships should have arrived in Luzon by now, and I asked them to be concentrated there."

Pu Shousheng said: "That place is relatively remote, and the wind direction is not smooth, if it is not our dhow, we have to take a long detour, there are not many Han people there, a plate of scattered sand, it is useless, the fleet of the Northern Ming Dynasty has been to it a few times, but it has not been occupied." ”

Pu Shougeng said: "Let our ship transport spices to Quanzhou before the end of May!" (To be continued......)
