Fang Zhiwen took Xiaoyi for three days, and the news was transmitted to the ears of the Jiangdong family through the mouth of the player, the Zhu family, the Lu family, the Gu family, the Zhang family, the Xu family, the Yu family, the Sun family, etc., as well as the Wu County Taishou Shengxian, who was having a headache whether to step down, all knew the news that a big tiger had appeared next to him. (the most stable,

So, everyone gathered in the Zhu family's mansion, after all, the relationship between the Zhu family and Fang Zhiwen is relatively close, of course, gathering to the Zhu family may not have the intention of asking the teacher, but the Zhu family felt that they were really wronged, they didn't think about luring the wolf into the house, and they didn't have any dealings with Fang Zhiwen and the Zhen family.

Zhu Zhi's face was already quite dark, but now it is even darker.

"Everyone, whether you believe it or not, my Zhu family definitely didn't hide that you had any dealings with Miyun or the Zhen family, Fang Zhiwen's navy went south, and it was not our Zhu family's idea, as for the whole story, you even know better than me, please don't doubt the Zhu family for no reason, this kind of self-destruction of the foundation, the Zhu family is not too stupid to see it."

The representatives of the various clans or parents present looked at each other, and Zhu Zhi said very reasonably, this kind of thing is indeed not beneficial to the Zhu family, who makes a living from shipping.

"So, what did Jun Li Shicai say, what did Fang Zhiwen want to go south?"

Zhu Zhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that his tough attitude this time had temporarily dispelled everyone's suspicions. In fact, although the Zhu family did not collude with Fang Zhiwen, the Zhu family did have a lot of interests in Miyun, so the Zhu family was not very resistant to Fang Zhiwen's move to raise troops south.

Fang Zhiwen's southward movement was more of a strategic consideration than a commercial consideration, and Fang Zhiwen had communicated with the Jiangdong family before, hoping to get a military port in the sea off the Yangtze River, so as to serve as a pedal for the Miyun Navy to extend its military power to the south, but at that time, the Jiangdong family refused for various reasons, and as a member of the Jiangdong family, Zhu Zhi had no reason to resolutely stand on Fang Zhiwen's side. (The most stable, so he also voted against it at the time.)

Now I want to ask why Fang Zhiwen came, of course, not to pacify Jiangdong, or to covet the land industry of the Jiangdong family, but for that springboard to the south.

Zhu Zhi was about to speak, but Zhu Qigongzi beside him had already spoken first: "What else can you do for it, isn't it just for the military port!" With this military port, Fang Zhiwen's navy can control the entire northern channel of the East China Sea to the north, and to the west, it can echo with the Jingxiang naval army to control the Yangtze River channel. To the south, you can open up and control the route to Jiaozhou. Hearing that Jiaozhou is rich in grain and spices, Fang Zhiwen, a thief, is obviously already salivating1

Zhu Zhi frowned, but he didn't say anything, just glanced at Zhu Qigongzi coldly, Zhu Qigongzi shrunk his neck slightly, and the irritability in his chest just now was suddenly swept away by this cold glance, and was replaced by the fear and awe of the eldest brother accumulated since childhood.

Zhu Zhi naturally knew what his younger brother was thinking, Zhen Jiang's matter had passed for so many years. This younger brother of his still remembers it, and transfers all his hatred to Fang Zhiwen, but he himself can't understand it, compared with Fang Zhiwen, one is a sparrow under the eaves, and the other is a nine-day Kunpeng, Zhen Jiang is blind. I won't choose my stupid brother!

And he is still entangled in the comparison and competition with Fang Zhiwen, if he continues, this inexplicable hatred will eventually ruin him, and even his own family will suffer. It seems that he has to be ruthless, and now that the Jingnan trade road is gradually opening, it seems that it is time to send a person in charge to the Jingnan area.

"Oh? In this way, Fang Zhiwen's southward movement is extremely harmful to us, this is not the same as putting the rope around the neck, when the time comes, what can we do? ”

"Yes, this thing must not be tolerated, today he only needs a small island, tomorrow he may want to go ashore, let alone the day after tomorrow he wants the whole Jianye City1

"Disaster is coming1

"No, they must be expelled as soon as they are not firmly established, or it will be too late to regret it.1

"That's right! Expelled him 1

Everyone discussed it babblingly, and most of the people were inclined to expel Fang Zhiwen's army by force, and it had to be as soon as possible, otherwise Fang Zhiwen's foundation would have been formed, or the Jingxiang army would go down the river to support it, which would not be a good thing for the Jiangdong clan.

However, Zhu Zhi was still keenly aware that Sun Ben, the representative of the Sun family, was a little overly enthusiastic and even hypocritical, why did Sun Ben seem to be hot and cold about this matter? Could it be that Sun Jian has some exchange with Fang Zhiwen, or some deal with Cai Mao? So what is the deal that Sun Jian needs most now? Could it be the dominance of the Koto clan? If that's the case, the Lu family

Sure enough, Sun Ben seemed to be deliberately inducing the Lu family and the Zhu family to send troops, because in terms of fleet management, these two are undoubtedly the largest, Zhu Zhi was vigilant, and when he looked at the problem, he naturally had an extra mind, and while casually perfunctory, he thought about the weirdness and doorway in this matter.

The other one who didn't say much but slowly frowned was Gu Yong, what Zhu Zhi could see, Gu Yong could also see, the problem was that this matter was unfounded, even if Gu Yong had doubts, he didn't dare to raise any objections at this time.

And no matter how you look at this matter, it seems that it is a matter between the Sun family and the Lu family, Gu Yong has been entangled for a long time, and thinks that it is better not to get involved, the Lu family is arrogant, even if he says something, people may not admit it.

Everyone discussed for a long time, and the plan was decided, the Lu family and the Zhu family both expressed their full support, in order to expel the hateful Fang Zhiwen, the two of them would go out of the boat, and the other families also had people who contributed money, and they were ready to meet Fang Zhiwen with a real chapter, of course, before that, they still needed to go to Taishou Shengxian to get Sheng Xian's approval.

Basically, Sheng Xian should not object, Sheng Xian is actually quite aggrieved to do this Wu County Taishou, the Jiangdong clan is very strong, and very grouped, basically the foreign household Sheng Xian's decree is in line with the interests of the Jiangdong clan, and it will soon be implemented, on the contrary, it will naturally be violated by the yang and the yin, and in the end, it will not be done.

However, during Sheng Xian's tenure, one of the things he did the most was to crack down on Shanyue, which was very in line with the interests of the Jiangdong family, so Sheng Xian was slowly recognized by the Jiangdong family with the help of this banner, but Sheng Xian also knew that this recognition was actually very unreliable, once he wanted to exclude the Jiangdong family from the power decision-making level, he would definitely be strongly counterattacked by the Jiangdong family, so when an edict came from Chang'an, wanting to transfer him to Dongjun, Sheng Xian wanted to resign from illness, but he knew, Dongjun is more terrifying than Wu County, so don't get involved with those clans anymore.

It's just that he didn't expect that before he could resign, Fang Zhiwen's army here has already reached the bottom of his nose, Sheng Xian has a good relationship with Kong Rong, there are often correspondence exchanges, Kong Rong praises Fang Zhiwen, Sheng Xian also wants to meet this Pingbei general, but he didn't expect that this Pingbei general is coming, but he is coming with a large army, which makes Sheng Xian feel very uncomfortable, and even complains a little about Kong Rong.

Sheng Xian knew that the most anxious person now was definitely not himself, but those Jiangdong clans, Fang Zhiwen's move was tantamount to lying down a tiger beside the Jiangdong clan, if the Jiangdong clan could fall asleep, it would be strange!

Sure enough, the day after the news came, the Jiangdong clan represented by Gu Yong, Lu Jun and Zhu Zhi came to the door.

Looking at their imposing appearance, Sheng Xian regretted it in his heart, he knew that he had resigned earlier, this kind of bad thing would not be his turn to be unlucky, Jiangdong's affairs should be solved by the Jiangdong clan themselves, looking at their appearance, they are not ready to compromise, this battle is fought, whether it is won or lost, it may not be a good thing for Sheng Xian.

Sheng Xian forced a smile on his face to invite a group of representatives of the clan in, and listened to their impassioned statements, simply put, it was to denounce Fang Zhiwen's intrusion into Jiangdong for no reason, causing the people in Jiangdong to panic and make the neighbors uneasy, so after consultation, the father and squire of Jiangdong decided to plead to Sheng Xian, asking Sheng Xian to send a navy to sweep away such small things, and the Jiangdong clan was willing to contribute people to help Sheng Xian achieve great success.

Sheng Xian hesitated for a long time, and finally spoke: "Fathers and elders, I understand what you mean, but General Pingbei has always taken it as his responsibility to destroy foreign tribes and expand his territory, and he has not heard of the fact that he has taken the initiative to attack his neighbors. ”

Zhu Zhi was a little embarrassed, so he had to keep silent, Gu Yongzheng wanted to nod, but after thinking about it, he couldn't help it, Lu Jun unceremoniously lowered his face and said: "Is the adult afraid of Fang Zhiwen, or the adult intends to collude with Fang Zhiwen to take Wu County in one fell swoop?" ”

"Virtuous nephew be cautious! This official and Fang Zhiwen are officials in the same dynasty, and they have nothing to do with anything else, and they have never exchanged letters, what this official said is a good intention, and what General Pingbei took is just a small island in the open sea, and it is not owned by Er, and it is also to open up the territory, why are you so panicked? １

"Your Excellency's words are wrong, General Pingbei's jurisdiction is in the north of Youzhou, but now he is waving his army south, isn't this a reckless attempt to ignore the king's orders? As the people of the Han Dynasty, we should do our best for the country, and where there is any panic, there is only righteous indignation! Since the Lord is timid and does not want to act, we should tell Lord Assassin Shi to plead his case. ”

Sheng Xian was overjoyed when he looked at Lu Jun's invincible appearance, but his face sank as he pretended to be angry: "It's okay, this official has recently felt that his body is decaying, and he is about to resign from the official, but he doesn't want to do much, everyone is light, and this official will not send it 1."

Lu Jun was stunned for a moment, then stood up angrily and threw his sleeves away, Zhu Zhi and Gu Yong looked at each other silently, and had no choice but to bow and retreat, but they were secretly more vigilant in their hearts.
