Jiangnan Water Division, Mingzhou, Zhao Tongzhi, Zhao Fangshi, Deng Gonggong......

When you don't catch the clue, everything is like a fog, knocking east and west, you can't find the connection at all, but once you have a direction, those seemingly unrelated things are strung together little by little, the fog is dispersed, and the rest is a stunned result.

Jiang Muyuan's breathing couldn't help but be much heavier.

He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and slowly opened them again, looking at the broken warships parked on the bank of the river, his expression becoming heavier and heavier.

He thought, he kind of understood what Sun Rui had been doing in the past few years and what he wanted to do.

Sun Rui hated Jia Gui, and he was unwilling to welcome Jia Ting as a side concubine, judging from the losses he suffered on the Jia family in his previous life, this kind of rejection was not unusual.

It's just that in order not to marry Jia Ting, he coped with it more intensely.

Jia Ting has vaguely noticed Sun Rui's actions in the past two years, but she is just a daughter of an official family, and no matter how much she hates Sun Rui, there is no way to retaliate.

Of course, Sun Rui not only rejected the Jia family, but the candidates for the main concubine and side concubine that the palace found for him were all pushed by him, so that the saint, Yu Guifei and the queen mother could not discuss a mutually satisfactory candidate, let alone annoy Sun Rui.

Sun Rui's only side concubine is Zhao Zhiyu, and this person was chosen by Sun Rui himself.

What is a random circle, this can't fool people, Jiang Muyuan just didn't understand why Sun Rui picked Zhao Zhiyu.

The Zhao family is too ordinary, and Zhao Zhiyu's grandfather has come to an end in the position of Tongzhi in Mingzhou in this life.

But Jiang Muyuan now understands that Sun Rui is interested in Zhao Fangshi's fellow acquaintance.

In terms of reading and being an official, Zhao Fangshi is not very capable, and he has repeatedly failed in the exams that year, and he was finally nominated, and he is also worthy of being on the list.

He couldn't wait for the lack of Beijing officials, and finally went to Mingzhou to start from Jiupin, so many years to climb to Tongzhi, with his age, even if he married Sun Rui, I am afraid he would not be able to wait for promotion.

is such a person, but he fell into Sun Rui's eyes.

From the perspective of the full court, a Tongzhi can't be seen, but in Mingzhou, a big city south of the Yangtze River and the sea, Tongzhi is enough.

Because Zhao Fangshi is an old man in Mingzhou officialdom, decades of hard work are enough for Zhao Fangshi to build a circle of relationships in Mingzhou and even the Jiangnan area, inside and out.

That year, Wu Ye and Yuan Er met Gonggong Deng in Mingzhou, and for a few days in a row, Zhao Fangshi was respectful and visited Gonggong Deng.

Jiang Muyuan guessed some of the stories at that time, it must be Sun Rui who wanted Zhao Fangshi to do something, but unfortunately the fifth master didn't find out anything after several inquiries.

Later, Yuan Er inquired from Wei Yan that Zhao Fangshi had been in charge of merchants' shipping, goods going to sea and entering customs, and caravans, everything had to be nodded by the government, and Zhao Fangshi was extremely clear about the checkpoints.

In addition to doing business with the West over the years, Jiangnan has also been doing business with the East.

Dongyi had countless frictions with the imperial court during the first emperor's years, and also attacked countless caravans, after Emperor Shunde ascended the throne, he bullied him young, and repeatedly violated the border, until he was beaten by Su Ningbo to bow down to the courtiers, and then became honest.

Dongyi has become a vassal of the imperial court, and he no longer dares to harass him easily, and the common people below want to make money, and there are gradually more contacts.

But is Dongyi really dead?

In his previous life, when there was continuous civil strife in the imperial court, Dongyi was indeed still honestly handing over the silver, but he kept bargaining, and the tribute was shoddy.

Dongyi is not a sincere submission, but it is not strong enough to confront the imperial court.

So now, the Jiangnan Navy Division has no combat power, Sun Ruiruo let Zhao Fangshi provoke the antipathy of Dongyi, and the sea route defense in the Mingzhou area, Zhao Fangshi is clear......

With Sun Rui's temperament, he did this kind of thing!

Sun Rui didn't care about whether the court could withstand such a close war at all, he was just waiting for the court to be dragged down!

Otherwise, the dam of the two lakes on the front foot will burst, and the Di people on the back foot will raid and the city of the North will be broken; The north has not been cleaned up, and Sun Bi and Dong Zhiwang in the south have been forced to rebel by him; Nanling is still at war, and Shu is raising troops again......

Not to mention that the treasury is already difficult, even if there are mountains of gold and silver, Sun Rui can't consume them one after another.

At this moment, once the East is against it, the imperial court is powerless to meet it.

Even if this was just his conjecture, Jiang Muyuan didn't dare to slack off in the slightest.

He said to Gu Yunqi: "I can't wait for dawn, I have to go back to Xiaguan first, the Jiangnan Navy Division does not exist, I am afraid that Dongyi will take advantage of the weakness to enter." ”

Gu Yunqi's breath stagnated.

He didn't think Jiang Muyuan was alarmist, the Gu family had been fighting with the Di people in the north for a hundred years, and he had seen a lot of this kind of scene.

Foreign enemies of foreign races, they can be honest for a few years, once they find that your troops are not strong, they will rush out and bite you at the opportunity, they have a sharp nose, and they will never let go of this opportunity.

They don't want you to have as many cities or land as you want, and they will run away after robbing food and livestock, and they can't prevent it, and they are so annoyed that they will die.

The two discussed a few words, Jiang Muyuan hurriedly returned, urged the rain to arrange dry food for the horses, and hurried all night.

The rain went away, and it didn't take long for him to come back and say, "The fifth master is here." ”

Friday is dusty.

He settled Cheng Jinzhi in Shudi, and helped Jiang Muyuan to set up some contact secret piles, a few days ago I received a summons, Jiang Muyuan was afraid that Sun Bi would be intercepted and killed halfway, and the fifth master hurriedly prepared people to secretly guard, he was so busy that his feet did not touch the ground, and when he learned that Qiao Jing sent troops, he hurried to Yiling.

"This battle was fought beautifully." Wu Ye said with a smile, he had already heard about the specific passing.

Jiang Muyuan's expression was very solemn: "The loss is too great." ”

How could the Friday master not know that the battle damage was amazing, but this kind of war, if you don't go out to fight, there is no way to crack it, the Jiangnan Navy Division is damaged, but Qiao Jing didn't get the slightest good, and the Shu Water Master is also abolished, even if Qiao Jing wants to come again, there is not so much wood that can be used in shipbuilding!

Jiang Muyuan shook his head at him: "I'm not worried about Qiao Jing, but, Dongyi." ”

Wu Ye frowned, listening to Jiang Muyuan talk about his worries.

"Sun Rui did this, and only in this way can it be explained why he wants to marry Zhao Zhiyu," Jiang Muyuan said, "Dongyi can't be reversed, at least not now, the court can't afford to fight." If you don't come today, I will have to inform you that you will stop Dongyi, and how long can you stop it. ”

When the fifth master went to Jiangnan that year, it was not just as simple as inquiring about the news, the Zhou family bought and sold a lot, and there were also those who had access to the sea, so they could deal with Dongyi.

"I'm trying my best to stop it, but it's hard to say whether I can stop it or for how long." Friday replied.

Jiang Muyuan knew that this matter was not easy to do, he drank saliva, moistened his throat, and smiled a little helplessly: "The same again, I am always one step behind Sun Rui......"

Wu Ye also smiled when he heard this: "Little grandfather, you and him are completely different people.

What court officials and people in the world, Sun Rui never cares, but you are all in your heart, how can you not be controlled by him?

You are such a person, so when you came to Yecheng to say such an unbelievable thing to me, I will believe you and do things for you.

For another person, I am still in Yecheng and in front of my old lady as a good grandson. ”
