Chapter 164: A Chance Encounter
Song Chengxuan calmed down.
Zhang Zhenren was a little puzzled by what Gongzi meant: "Do we want to check the White Dragon King carefully." ”
Song Chengxuan said: "No need to check, let people send a letter back, if the military adviser finds out that the big ship of the Japanese is coming, immediately open artillery attack, don't let them have any chance to breathe, when the Japanese turn the bow of the ship and escape, don't pursue, stick to the coast of Quanzhou, and tell the soldiers that you can't let a Japanese go ashore."
Prepare a few more flat-bottomed clippers and fortified ships equipped with artillery on standby, and as for when to attack, presumably the military division can judge. ”
Zhang Zhenren nodded: "Before I went to Changzhou, Gongzi had already asked people to send a letter to the military division, and the military division must have arranged manpower to prevent the Japanese people, and now it is determined that the other party is the White Dragon King, and the prince instructed him again, is the White Dragon King really coming to Quanzhou?" ”
Song Chengxuan narrowed his eyes slightly: "He will not attack Quanzhou with great fanfare, his purpose is not the Quanzhou Sailor, although the Japanese have suffered a lot in Quanzhou, if they can win a battle, they will definitely lift their spirits, but the White Dragon King does not want this," Speaking of this, his eyes flashed with compelling brilliance, "Moreover, he has no ability to take Quanzhou." ”
Zhang Zhenren thought along with this: "Then what is the White Dragon King going to do?" He didn't have Childe's quick thinking, so naturally he couldn't think of too much reason, but just now he said the name "White Dragon King", and Childe didn't have an unexpected look on his face, which showed that Childe had already thought about it in his heart.
Song Chengxuan said: "There are so many pirates on the sea, many of them are powerful, most of them are bent on strengthening their fleets, they want the fear of the caravans to them, so most of them are in the name of gangs, because it is impossible to rely on one person to sail in the sea."
This White Dragon King is different, he doesn't care about the fleet, he has been building momentum for him himself, his name with 'Dragon', whether it is for the Great Zhou or the Japanese and other countries, 'Dragon' has the supreme significance, it can be seen that what he really seeks is not a pirate, but a status comparable to his title. ”
Zhang Zhenren understood: "The White Dragon King wants to be the king, and he has recruited a lot of Japanese warriors, and he has close contacts with the Japanese people, and if he finds the opportunity to occupy a part of the land of the Japanese people, he can naturally get the status he wants." ”
Song Chengxuan continued: "Although the pirates are cruel and have their own fleet, no matter how they are, they can't see the light of day, it is easy to occupy the territory, but it is difficult to get the approval of the Japanese nobles.
The White Dragon King had already thought of this, and planned for this, I guess he bought saltpeter and other things from the Zhang family at a very high price, and when he got the saltpeter, he also caught the big fish of the Zhang family.
Being able to do business with the imperial relatives of the Great Zhou Dynasty was such a move that set the White Dragon King apart from other pirates, and the White Dragon King wanted to take advantage of this as much as possible to show his talent in political affairs. ”
Just like Xu Qinghuan said, the White Dragon King has always maintained a relationship with the Zhang family, and now the White Dragon King has attacked the Zhang family, it is because the identity and status of the White Dragon King have changed, that is to say, the White Dragon King has achieved his goal.
The White Dragon King has gained power, and the next step is to stabilize his position.
So he arrested the people of the Sun family, and then attacked the fleet of the Sun family that came to retaliate, so that the uncle of the Sun family fled in disgrace, and threatened the Zhang family, and played the powerful people of the Great Zhou Dynasty in the palm of his hand in full view, such a move must have won the followers of many Japanese people.
It's a power struggle, and every action has a very important meaning.
The White Dragon King's move also has the intention of gathering people's hearts,
Buying saltpeter all year round, provoking Da Zhou at a critical moment, and inciting the emotions of his followers by suppressing the power of the Sun family, this is simply preparing for war.
The Zhang family had already learned of such news, but they tried their best to cover it up, perhaps thinking that the other party was just a little pirate, and they were opposed to the Zhang family because they had been suppressed by the Zhang family for too long and wanted to vent their emotions, so the Zhang family would cover it up in every possible way, thinking that they could expose it quietly.
Song Chenghuo's expression became cold, the Zhang family has been arrogant for too long, and they don't take anyone in their eyes, in the Great Zhou, they can rely on the identity of their relatives, and in places outside the Great Zhou, why are they rampant.
Da Zhou is really weak, why should they enjoy wealth and glory.
The royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty is so unbearable, and it is no wonder that a small pirate dares to make a move against the Great Zhou.
Song Cheng shouted: "I guess they will attack Changzhou." ”
Zhang Zhenren was even more surprised.
Song Cheng said: "Changzhou is close to the capital, the Japanese can land from Changzhou, whether they can reach the capital or not is of great significance to them, even if they lose, for the aggressive Japanese people, the White Dragon King is also a real hero, this is what the White Dragon King really wants, as for the attack on Quanzhou is just to give Da Zhou an illusion, let Da Zhou make a mistake in judgment, delay the fighter." ”
Every time he heard Childe talk about this, Zhang Zhenren couldn't help but be surprised in his heart, Childe could always analyze the other party's motives clearly.
It is because of this that the military advisor desperately wants to support his son all the way.
Zhang Zhenren: "Is the prince ready to report this matter to the imperial court?" ”
Song Chengxuan remembered that Xu Changrong pointed to the deer as a horse, if he had such a subordinate on the battlefield, he would have stabbed him under the horse with a sword.
If such a person is kept, it will also bring disaster to the country and the people.
In the past few days, the three legal divisions have been tried, as if everyone is dutiful and busy, but in fact, there is no efficiency at all.
The White Dragon King must not have many manpower, otherwise where would he give the Great Zhou Imperial Court such a long time to react, maybe he would have already let the Japanese people land and harm the coastal people.
Even if he said at this time that the White Dragon King would bring people to attack Changzhou, the Zhang family would try their best to cover up the past, and in the eyes of the Zhang family, the lives of the people and soldiers were not worth mentioning.
Song Chengxuan said coldly: "The Zhang family should also taste the taste, the saltpeter they gave with their own hands, and the Buddha machine of the Japanese people should also point to them." ”
If Zhang Yucong is unwilling to go, then he will come to help Zhang Yucong.
Song Chengxuan stopped talking and looked down at the paperwork.
"Childe, that's it?"
Song Chengxuan responded lightly.
Childe obviously didn't have anything to say, but Childe himself wouldn't take the initiative to mention it, where did he dare to ask.
Is this the matter of the Xu family?
Zhang Zhenren retreated, Song Chengxuan's eyes were removed from the official document, and there is another person whose whereabouts are now unknown, this person is the businessman who was rescued by Wang Yun as Li Xu said, and the case is up to now, and there are still some people hiding in the dark and quietly watching everything.
What clues did Xu Qinghuan see from those corpses?
The Marquis of Anyi's Mansion seemed to abandon the case, but in fact, it wanted to lure those people out.
At the critical moment, the Marquis of Anyi's Mansion withdrew, so who will deal with the Zhang family.
Song Chengxuan frowned and ordered Yongye to prepare a horse.
Getting on the horse and galloping all the way, Song Chengxuan felt a lot more comfortable in his heart, seeing that the sky was getting darker and darker, he immediately turned his horse's head back to the city, and just entered the city gate not far away, a carriage appeared not far away, and Song Chengxuan, the little girl who followed outside the carriage, knew that it was Meng Lingyun who Xu Qinghuan often ordered to go out to inquire about the news.
