"It's hard to put it into words, this trip to Jiangnan lasted a few months, and if Su Qin was just to understand the thoughts of the Jiangnan Shu forces represented by Liao Qichang, it wouldn't have taken so much time. www.biquge.info Of course, Jiangnan is also my main destination, and it is naturally a good thing to be able to win the support of the industrial and commercial forces in Jiangnan for adults, but this Jiangnan is far away from our northwest, even if Lord Li's ideas and policies are in line with their interests, but they have to wait until Lord Li's power can reach the step of influencing Jiangnan, I am afraid they will really sit down and think about these issues, and now they feel that it is a little too early to talk about this step. Su Qin shook his head, with a look of regret on his face.

The trip to Jiangnan is as he imagined before he set off, those businessmen's eyes are still too short-sighted, and they have never been able to see through the current superficial situation, the empire is no longer the empire of the past, in the face of the aggressive posture of the Taiping Sect, the three feudatories took the opportunity to expand, the battle for the succession of several princes has begun, and the empire has obviously shown a tendency to be unable to control the changes in the overall situation, and the Maqi Khans and the northern countries will definitely not stand idly by in this struggle related to the situation of the entire Eastern Continent, even Milan, At this time, it would be a little naïve to remain neutral and sit and watch the situation change, Jiangnan has been rich for a hundred years, how many people are full of desire for the wealth of this land, can they get out of this coming storm? Su Qin did not believe that this kind of thing would happen.

"Rats' eyes! It is not wrong for businessmen to pursue profits, but if the leader of the merchant power does not have a far-sighted vision, then it is likely to pay a heavy price, Jiangnan's economic strength is strong enough, but politically it has been suppressed by the upper nobles of the empire, and the Milanese have always been angry about the Jiangnan businessmen's monopoly on the industry, commerce and navigation and transportation industry in the eastern continent, not to mention the Maqi Khan, the hundred years of accumulation of Jiangnan merchants, they are afraid that they have long coveted the wealth of Jiangnan, I heard that the Great Khan of the Maqi Khan himself has admired the customs of Jiangnan for a long time, and even traveled to Jiangnan several times in disguise, It's just that the empire still maintains a huge military structure and doesn't dare to act rashly, if the empire is in chaos, this kind of once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, do you say they will let it go?" Xiao Tang shook his head and sighed, as a politician, not only should he pay attention to the development of his own power, but the rise and fall of the surrounding forces is also the focus of attention, since the power in the northwest extended to Kansai, Xiao Tang has paid attention to the southern region of the empire.

"Brother Xiao, this is just our own point of view. Looking at it from another position, there is nothing wrong with Liao Qichang's approach, His Royal Highness is originally a royal line, which is enough to represent the orthodox dynasty of the empire, and at this time, he personally came to Jiangnan to promise to win over, plus the Milanese in the south have an inextricable relationship with His Royal Highness Seven, in this case, it is good that we can win some of their support. Su Qin smiled bitterly, "After all, these Liao Qichang are just representatives, and the final decision still depends on the mainstream ideas of the businessmen, and their vision cannot be as far as ours." ”

"Hmph, at this time, Situ Yuan needs them to contribute to his plan to win the heir, so he naturally wants to do everything possible to win over the connection, but behind Situ Yuan is the upper nobles of the empire, could he betray his foundation for the benefit of the merchants in Jiangnan?" Xiao Tang sneered and said: "Once the use value is lost, the rest should be squeezed for the economic benefits of their existence, and at that time, it will become a relationship between fish and meat, and it is difficult to say what will happen." ”

Su Qin was speechless for a while, how could he not know the profundity of Xiao Tang's words, these words were also euphemistically conveyed by him to those merchant families, but whether the other party could accept it or not was not something he could decide, it was a pity that most merchant families were not very optimistic about their masters, at least they thought that Wufeng's forces would be difficult to help the merchants in Jiangnan in a short period of time.

There was silence in the big study, only the self-striking bell kept ticking, and Xiao Tang and Su Qin were thinking about something until Wu Feng arrived.

After listening to Su Qin's report silently, Wu Feng also fell into deep thought, he didn't expect that the situation in Jiangnan was full of twists and turns, and even Liao Qichang couldn't control the group of wealthy businessmen, judging from the current situation, the Jiangnan businessmen seemed to be more inclined to form an alliance with Situ Yuan, and they didn't seem to be too interested in the olive branch they had thrown, which was also expected by Wu Feng, and it was too difficult for them to make those businessmen who only focused on their immediate interests make a big change in the current situation when the current situation was not clear.

"My lord, on this trip to Jiangnan, Su Qin failed to complete the work, and he really bears the trust of the adults. Su Qin also felt Wu Feng's disappointment, and said with some trepidation.

"No, this matter has nothing to do with you, you don't have to blame yourself, not to mention that there are always some people who show interest in us, which proves that our influence is gradually expanding, although it is impossible for them to express anything too openly now, but it will not take too long for this kind of intention to be transformed into a substance surname, and we can't expect them to directly express their attitude to our northwest now, and we don't have that strength now, so it's no wonder they do." "Wu Feng's analysis is very objective, the northwest is thousands of miles away from Jiangnan, even if it is at stake, it is unlikely to directly interfere with Jiangnan, and it is already quite a good result to win a certain amount of economic support from businessmen.

In addition, the information obtained by Su Qin in the five lakes and Donghai counties is also quite important, and its significance is no less than that of a trip to Jiangnan. I didn't expect this Jin Zhengyang to come to such a set, stepping on two boats, he was not afraid that Situ Jun would know about peeling his skin?" Wufeng said this, his tone was much more relaxed, "Real people don't show up, I didn't expect that this guy Situ Biao could actually control the Sixth Legion in his hands, in this way, our plan has to be carefully considered, without the support of the Sixth Legion, it is doubtful how much hope Situ Jun has." ”

"My lord, this news may not be accurate, Kim Zhengyang was born in the Praetorian Guard, as far as we know, this guy has always been cunning, in the Praetorian Guard has always been good friends with the commander of the corps Ma Yuan, is a typical wall grass, the commander of the Southern Military Region Meng Hai is simple-minded, although he is loyal to His Majesty the Emperor, but he can't control the Fifth Army and the Sixth Army at all, now since this Jin Zhengyang and Situ Jun and Situ Biao are on the line, it means that he is also on the sidelines, and this guy will take the initiative to report the contact between the other party and himself to the masters on both sides to seek more support, anyway, this kind of thing is tacitly knownWhich side he will eventually stand on depends on the change of the situation, which side is more favorable, which side offers a higher price and many other factors. Su Qin hesitated for a moment and still gave his thoughts and thoughts, "But now that the empire has been reorganized, The Fourth Legion has attracted the attention of many people, I don't know whether this is the intention of His Majesty the Emperor, or the idea of the Ninth Highness of the current Central Supervision State, if it is the idea of the Ninth Highness, the control of these two legions will inevitably be firmly controlled in his hands, plus the Praetorian Legion also supports him, whether the City Guard Legion in Qinghe is thrown into the Ninth Highness or not, the general trend is very clear, with the military strength of three or four legions, plus the support of the ministers of the court, this crown* will be a bit of a water. ”

"Brother Su, things don't seem to be so simple, don't underestimate these royal highnesses, maybe it's not their forte to govern the country and fight the army, but if you want to talk about the tricks of playing with power and calculating others, I'm afraid that none of them will have descendants. Wu Feng pursed his lips and smiled slightly, "Let's talk about the Sixth Highness for example, I don't know who would have thought that he would hook up with Kim Zhengyang before? Who knows if he has other means? You must know that if you want to ascend the throne, you are afraid that you can only think of it if you don't blow a pillow wind in front of Your Majesty and the support of a legion, Situ Biao is not stupid, he will not think of this." ”

Xiao Tang and Su Qin nodded at the same time to express their master's opinion, the battle for the throne has entered a white-hot stage, maybe more and more things that were not known to others will gradually surface, and no one will make many reservations about the contenders who have entered this stage, and it is indeed too early to make a conclusion about who is the final victor.

The weather near the spring festival is really not very good, especially the Mangye Town directly next to the Tengger Grassland is even colder, it is a little inaccurate to say that it is close to the Tengger Grassland, the location of this Mangye Town is actually a part of the southeast corner of the East Tengger Grassland, but in addition to the nomadic Youli people and many other small tribes from the grassland, there are also many Tang people living near the market town. With the continuous increase of the northwest power in the East Tengger Grassland, the Tang people also began to appear in all corners of the East Tengger Grassland, and the Tang cultural and historical traditions also began to penetrate into the ordinary life of the grassland people.

Mangye Town is such a typical example, although the nomadic residents from the grassland living here are not few, but these residents who have settled here have gradually adapted to the way of life and the surname of the Tang people, when the Spring Festival is coming, almost every household in the market town, whether it is the Tang nationality or other ethnic groups, has begun to hang lanterns, clean the house, and paste the couplets of the gods to prepare for the arrival of the Spring Festival.

In winter, it is dark early, just after dinner time, the sky is already dark, but Mangye Town is not as good as other deserted towns, here is the most prosperous and prosperous market town in Qingyang Mansion, the special geographical location and ethnic composition have also created a deformed prosperity here, it can be said that there are almost all entertainment and pastimes in Qingyang Mansion City, there are almost all here, but the scale is slightly smaller, but this is enough for the residents of Mangye Town to show off to foreign merchants.
