Chapter 315: Embarrassed
Chapter 315 The wolf bèi is a traitor
"Brother Chen! Hahaha, long time no see, I miss my brother. Wu Xiang, who stood on the dock, came up with a hug, and the enthusiastic Cheng dù reached the point of numbness. Outsiders look at it, they are really like brothers, a pair of good friends.
"Brother Wu, it's so polite, how can you ask your driver to pick it up in person?" Acting or something, Chen Xie's current business ability is also at the level of an actor, the two hugged "warmly", and then pointed to the cargo ship on the dock while politely smiling without saying a word.
"Now the imperial court is keeping a close eye on the military and the imperial history, otherwise my eldest brother should also come to pick up Brother Chen. No, my brother, the one who treats the guilt, has come to pick up Brother Chen, don't take it to heart if you are slack. Wu Xiang's words are really "sincere", and there is no way not to be sincere. His side is running a reinstatement, and military merit is needed. When Chen Xie was fighting Haizhou, the Guanning army dispatched a small force, walked around the Daling River and even Guangning, and came back empty-handed after making a show.
If you don't have a head, you have no military merits, Wu Xiang knew very well in his heart, and he immediately got on a cargo ship without looking at the direction of Chen Xie's finger. Lifting a board, there was a thick stench. Wu Xiang showed a look of joy, the weather was still a little hot, and the smell was not unbearable. The head of a full cabin was enough for him to resume his official position.
"Don't say anything, thank you for being a brother, my brother for giving face." Wu Xiang bowed his hand, this time I really thank you.
Chen Xie waved his hand indifferently: "Thank you, it's hot, it's not good to leave it for too long, otherwise I can bring you more." It's useless to ask for more than that. The court will not give me a reward or two of silver. ”
Wu Xiang nodded, and after getting into the carriage together, only when the two of them were in the carriage, Wu Xiang said in a low voice: "Brother, I have heard that the civil officials of the imperial court can impeach you, and one of them can be taller." ”
Chen Xie didn't care at all when he heard this, and said with a faint smile: "General Soldier Zu and I are both feudal towns now, if the world is too peaceful, it is estimated that the Son of Heaven will not be able to tolerate me and wait." This time come. I just want to save face with Mr. Zu. Everyone worked together to buy and sell the goods to Horqin. I will ship the goods, you will send out the channels, and everyone will cooperate. You shall take thirty percent of the money you earn. ”
Don't look at Wu Xiang's war. When it comes to buying and selling. He's getting stronger. Immediately bargained: "This, it's not suitable, right?" We're taking a lot of risks. Why do you have to open five or five, right? "Having said that, in fact, everyone understands it in their hearts. Guan Ningjun took the risk of an egg. Over the years, I have been smuggling goods to the grasslands, right? Fan Wencheng's business, crossing the Great Wall is like entering a no-man's land, isn't it all relying on the escort of the Guanning Army? For the sake of silver, he will do anything.
Chen Xie sighed twice, and said in a "affectionate" tone: "Old brother, Ming people don't say secret words. To put it bluntly, if you want to talk about a war, the entire Ming Dynasty, that is, the Guanning Army, can have a draw with the Dengzhou battalion. I really hope that the two families will cooperate well, otherwise Xuanda will not be unable to get out. In this way, don't be embarrassed, I'll go talk to Mr. Zu. ”
The fat on Wu Xiang's face twitched a few times, and Chen Xie said that, it was not a sincere confession, it was a threat. Why do you want to take your Guan Ningjun's territory? What else can be taken out other than being closer? Everyone is in equal circumstances, that's true. If you want to talk about fighting, Guan Ningjun is so capable of fighting, what kind of head do you want from someone? A thousand heads, which were given for nothing.
Since the elder brother said this, the elder brother also confessed. It's not just the younger brother who walks this path. Now this grassland, but listen to Houjin's greeting. What Guan Ningjun does is a business that is released, and when he opens his eyes and closes his eyes, he must say the past in his face. "This is probably the bottom line, small-scale smuggling, the Guanning army often does, and large-scale caravans. The nature of Guan Ningjun is to charge fees.
Chen Xie knew what he meant, that is, he had to live on face. Collusion is always under the table, just don't put it on the table. "Old brother, when did you see the trader coming under the banner of the younger brother? They're all serious traders, right? The brothers below have been guarding the border for many years, and they have worked very hard, and it is not a big deal to collect some money and drink. ”
Wu Xiang smiled when he heard this, nodded and said, "Okay, let the principal come to me." Turning back, he said whoever he let pass, then let whoever passes. Chen Xie smiled and patted his thigh: "Okay, it's decided." The affairs at sea are handed over to the Dengzhou Naval Division, ensuring that not a single boat can pass. If there is his own person, my brother asked him to contact the person I sent and hang a flag, the sea surface of Goryeo is guaranteed to be good, and the sea surface of Dongying is not necessarily, and we have to wait for next year. ”
There were other meanings in these words, and Wu Xiang understood it clearly, but he was still a little hesitant. After all, things on the sea are even more uncontrollable. The Dengzhou Navy Division held the Bohai Bay, there was no problem at all, and it was really hard to say about other seas.
Just think that young people like to brag, just bully Jiannu, and want to break hands with those people in the southeast, Wu Xiang is not optimistic.
The two hit it off, negotiated the conditions, settled in the city, and naturally had to be warmly received. The best wind and moon places to set up wine, and the most popular girl called. It's so unhappy to talk about love and sing songs, hugging left and right. Necessary entertainment, Chen Xie is not hypocritical at all, when he is slightly drunk, it is necessary to take advantage of the girl next to him.
While he was playing, the door opened, and a stout man entered, not young in age, with gray hair on his head. Chen Xie saw the girl beside him, stood up and arched his hand: "Chief Soldier Zu, under Chen Xie, you are polite." ”
Wu Xiang is also going to introduce it, and these are all exempt. Zu Dashou came at night, naturally to avoid people's eyes. If it is known that he will meet Chen Xie at night, the court will have to boil the oil.
Zu Dashou is also simple, Chen Xie has a good reputation in trading, not to mention anything else on this trip, a thousand real slave heads are enough for Wu Xiangguan to be reinstated. Just rush this, you can be polite as much as you want. As for buying and selling, that's all a trivial.
"Mr. Chen is polite, he came from afar, he was not well entertained, and he was very forgiving." After sitting down, Zu Dashou gave face very much, drank three glasses of wine in a row, put down the cup and said: "The Guanning army is not as good as the Dengzhou camp, and the court has so much silver every year, so I can't do without it." This time I was too cautious and didn't seize the opportunity to make a profit, which is a pity. ”
This opening statement is also honest, Zu Dashou really regretted that he didn't seize this opportunity to make a profit. Since the battle of Tongguò has verified Chen Xie's combat effectiveness, it is necessary to seize the opportunity for future cooperation.
"Have the two elder brothers ever thought about how we should deal with ourselves if this Jiannu is really destroyed?" Chen Xie threw out such a sentence, and Zu Dashou and Wu Xiang both showed expressions of deep approval. In the past, this was heard as a joke, but now that Chen Xie is saying this, everyone has really come to listen to it. There's no way it's not serious. The Dengzhou battalion landed, and the Jiannu of Gaizhou and Yaozhou fled in despair. Who would dare to think about this situation before? The troops who hit and defended Haizhou only lasted 7 days, but in fact they only held it for 5 days. The remaining two days are delayed by the clearance.
This statement is reasonable, if the Tartars and Jiannu outside the gate are gone, they will be cunning and lackeys will cook. This kind of thing is not new. Zu Dashou deeply sympathizes, Chen Xie said bluntly, and he doesn't hide it. It is a matter of wealth and life, and this issue cannot but be discussed.
"The Guanning army is holding the front line of Guanning, and the Dengzhou battalion will not plan to go through Fuzhou in the future. Even in the past, there was nothing to grab. Chen Xie's words were direct, and the two people present knew that this was the truth. This time, Chen Xie played too ferociously, and even the beams of other people's roofs were removed and pulled away, which was crazy. According to the estimates of these two, within five years, Gaizhou, Yaozhou, and even Haizhou will have nothing to grab. If you want to grab it, you have to go inside, and Chen Xie will not take this risk.
After reaching a private agreement, Chen Xie stayed overnight, got up in the morning and sunburned his buttocks, and the two women around him, I don't know if they were tossed miserably last night, or if they were pretending to be asleep, anyway, they wouldn't open their eyes. Master Chen, who was romantic all night, didn't have the heart to spend on this. After getting up, there was a maid to wait, freshen up, clean up your thoughts, and the sound of Wu Xianghahaha's laughter came.
This time is really accurate, Chen Xie doesn't care, other people's territory.
To be honest, Wu Xiang wished that Chen Xie would leave quickly, this matter really couldn't be discovered. After some politeness, Wu Xiang personally sent Chen Xie to the dock, the previous lucky boat had sailed away, just when Wu Xiang was wondering, a big ship appeared on the sea, when he saw this ship, Wu Xiang raised his binoculars, and the red flag of the Dengzhou camp was the only one.
"Hehe, the boat that picked me up is here." Chen Xie's words were very timely, and Wu Xiang's legs trembled a little. Dengzhou shipbuilding is amazing, this is not news, I have known it for a long time. The 500-material fortune boat is like dumplings, and a large number of imported timber every year, Guan Ningjun has not made less money here. Now this ship is really different, this is not a lucky ship, this is a big ship of Tessie.
"This is a Dingyuan-class warship, and this one is the Dingyuan, the flagship of the Dengzhou Naval Division." Chen Xie looked at Wu Xiang proudly as if he had eaten shit, and his heart was so beautiful. Why did you choose the name Dingyuan, that is another idea. The historical names of Dingyuan, Zhenyuan, and Zhiyuan appeared in Edo, and then bombarded Edo, and I felt my blood boiling when I thought about it.
The warship had to stop at a sea surface of 1,500 meters, otherwise there would not be enough draft on the sea. Chen Xie said goodbye to Wu Xiang and got on the boat. When leaving, he kept waving his hand, what a good pair of "friends". When Chen Xie disappeared, Wu Xiang's expression also changed, and he hurriedly got into the carriage and told the coachman to rush back.
Similarly, Chen Xie, who boarded the battleship, had a look of disdain on his face. Guan Ningjun, not enough trouble.
On the deck, the two sailors lined up, and the name of Dengzhou Sailor could not be changed for the time being, so Chen Xie could only make do with it first. The commander of the naval division, Xi Laojing, was promoted to guerrilla and submitted to the military department. With such a big credit, it's no problem to get a few guerrillas. The main reason is to satisfy the vanity of these foreign devils, and it is necessary to print the documents of the military department to be convincing. (To be continued......)
