March is a good scenery in the south of the Yangtze River, the water of the river is extremely clear, and there is a point of indigo 'color' in the three-point clear green 'color', and it is also the spawning season of large groups of migratory fish, from time to time you can see large groups of fish swimming through the nearby river, and the cheers of fishermen's harvest are constantly heard on the water surface.

Gu Bin looked at the sturgeon that was more than four feet long, and his saliva was greedy, if Xiao Langjun wasn't in a hurry, he really wanted to take his group of sailor brothers who were originally fishermen to catch a good handful.

The water of the great river rolls to the east, and it will not take a few hours to reach the Jingkou River, which is one or twenty miles wide when it flows through the vicinity of Jiankang, and is thirty or forty miles wide when it reaches here.

The sun that has risen will sprinkle a lot of light onto the water, turning into sparkling light in the 'waves' formed by the southeast wind.

This time, when Wang Ze left Jiankang, he was followed by a fleet of more than ten warships, and it took less than a day to go down the river from Jiankang to the mouth of the river.

The flags on the ship were blown by the southeast wind, and from time to time there were the sounds of the sailors on the ship being scolded by the superiors and the soldiers laughing.

The third 5,000-stone ship in front of the fleet was Wang Ze's ship, and there were two warships in the front and rear that were also 5,000 stone-level guards.

The other ten warships are doing tactical movements around these big ships, Gu Bin is a little flustered these days, in order to kill boredom and maintain the combat effectiveness of the navy, from the very beginning, he has been walking while directing the naval warships under his command to put on a battle formation, with the change of flags, gongs and drums, the formation of the navy ships is also constantly changing.

Sometimes, the sailors '' and controlled the big boat to row diagonally across the water, and the 'stirring' of water 'flowers' caused the sailor soldiers on the other ships to laugh, but the soldiers of the blue wolf battalion who were on the navy warship were killed.

Although these landlubbers have experienced so many sea voyages, they have sailed well on ordinary merchant ships, and there have been such bumps. In addition, today's southeast wind is getting stronger, and the wind and waves are indeed stronger, and some landlubbers spit out yellow water, but later these guys from the navy regretted it one by one when they rubbed the boat board.

Wang Ze stood on the deck at the highest point of the warship in a light single suit, looking at the nearby Jiangzhu and the scenery on both sides of the river, and thinking of Jiankang City, which had gradually disappeared, he was speechless for a long time.

On the deck below, you can see Cheng Xueying and Zhu Qingqing holding a list, checking and discussing how to distribute the brocade powder and so on purchased this time, and the two laughed from time to time.

Before leaving Jiankang City this time, not only did the two of them purchase a batch of goods, but Chen Qian, Han Zigao, Zhou Wenhua, Chun Yukun and others also gave a large number of various gifts when they saw them off, and finally even Chen Baxian selected a batch of tributes from the palace and gave them to Wang Ze.

Of course, the batch of goods that Cheng Xueying and Zhu Qingqing stored in Chunyu Kun's house before had already been moved to the ship, and the merchant ships that came to the Southern Dynasty with Wang Ze were still doing business in Nanchen at that time, and it was estimated that it would take at least nearly a month to leave, and it was said that the merchant ships were actually equipped with armor and weapons, and even had 'bed' crossbows, so Wang Ze was not worried about the safety of these merchant ships.

"Xiao Langjun, now Nan Chen can wipe out Wang Lin in an instant, it looks like a rise, and Yizhou is on Nan Chen's side, once Nan Chen harbors a bad heart to attack, Qin Jin's rescue will be a big trouble a little later! Are you not afraid that you will be neighbors and tigers in the future to help Nan Chen like this? A voice suddenly came from behind Wang Ze, and without looking back, just listening to the voice, he knew that it was Xiao Jing coming.

Now Xiao Jing is completely dead to the restoration of Xiao Liang, and began to think wholeheartedly about Wang Ze's foundation, and now the Yizhou that Wang Ze wants to pass through is so close to Nan Chen, but Qin Jin, where Wang Ze's current main forces are located, is farther away from Yizhou, once Nan Chen has an unfavorable heart for Yizhou, it will greatly threaten Yizhou.

Glancing up at the Nanchen Navy Commander ship that was patrolling by the nearby river, Wang Ze turned around and smiled at Xiao Jing: "Don't be afraid, Mr. Xiao doesn't have to worry too much, Uncle Chen and King Linchuan are both smart people, they know how to make trade-offs and know what to do." ”

Xiao Jing looked at Wang Ze worriedly: "I also know that Xiao Langjun is quite valued by Chen Baxian, and Xiao Langjun has a great relationship with the King of Linchuan, Han Zigao and the generals of the Southern Dynasty, but in the future, the King of Linchuan may not be able to inherit the Southern Chen Dynasty, you must know that Chen Baxian's son Chen Chang is still in the hands of the Yuwen clan!"

As the ancient saying goes, 'once a son of heaven and a courtier', once Chen Ba drives first and Chen Chang ascends the throne, even if the generals of the Southern Dynasty have a good relationship with Xiao Langjun, I am afraid that they will no longer be able to help Xiao Langjun. ”

Wang Ze looked at Xiao Jing, who had a solemn face, and couldn't help laughing, Xiao Jing, who was only laughing, couldn't figure it out, attracting the nearby naval soldiers to look at it.

It wasn't until Wang Ze stopped laughing that he said to Xiao Jing: "Mr. Xiao, you are also from the Xiao Liang clan, don't you know the phrase 'since ancient times the heavenly family has no kindness'?"

Now Nan Chen is following Chen Baxian, Chen Qian's uncle and nephew, once Chen Baxian dies and inherits the unification is not Chen Qian but Chen Chang, I think even if Chen Qian is willing, those generals under their command will never agree. ”

Chen Qian is not a second ancestor who completely relies on her uncle to ascend to the throne, and her own ability is also relatively outstanding, and she has contributed a lot to the establishment of Nan Chen.

Whether it was sweeping away the rest of Hou Jing's troops at the beginning, destroying the remnants of Wang Shengzhi, Du Gong, Zhang Biao and other Wang monks, or later in the battle between Chen Baxian and Xiao Liang and others, Chen Qian can be said to have contributed a lot of strength, and he was also deeply respected by many generals of Southern Chen led by Hou Andu.

And Chen Chang followed Emperor Liang Yuan in Jiangling before, because of his "beautiful appearance, beautiful expression, elegant nature" and intelligent argumentation, and "Ming Xi political affairs" There are also a large number of talents around him. In the years of being taken captive by the Northern Zhou Dynasty, because of the need to contain Chen Baxian, the Yuwen clan was also very courteous to Chen Chang and others, so there were still a large number of people who followed.

Once Chen Chang ascends the throne, then Chen Chang will inevitably reject the old ministers of Nan Chen who were close to Chen Qian before, and vigorously promote his former old subordinates, such a situation that Hou Andu and other Nan Chen generals do not want to see.

Of course, Xiao Jing, who had been a minister of Emperor Liang Yuan before, also understood this truth, he thought about it and said ashamedly: "It seems that I am too worried!" ”

In any case, Xiao Jing is thinking about the safety of his foundation, and he still has to praise this attitude.

Wang Ze took Xiao Jing's hand and comforted: "Where did Mr. come from?" Mr. is so worried about the safety of our inheritance, and what Mr. Fang Cai said is not bad, there is still some vigilance against Nan Chen, but as long as Nan Chen still has to face the pressure of the Northern Dynasty, then whoever is the emperor will inevitably 'befriend' with us.

Moreover, Jiankang, the capital of Nanchen, is close to the river, and more than 200 miles east is the sea, as long as Nanchen's 'desire' is not conducive to me, I only need to send a naval army to go up the river and 'insert' Jiankang, Jiankang City is at our fingertips, and then Nanchen will naturally succumb to me.

Besides, even if Southern Chen Xiongqi defeated the Northern Dynasty and recovered the Central Plains, I don't know how many barbarian tribes there are in the desert and grassland further north, and they are everywhere! ”

Hearing Wang Ze's series of layouts, Xiao Jing exclaimed: "Xiao Langjun is really far-sighted, so he is not afraid that Nan Chen will not be conducive to me and wait, but even if Nan Chen reaches this situation one day, it will be a matter of one or two decades later!" ”

Regarding Xiao Jing's flattery, Wang Ze didn't answer, he tilted his head for a while, thought about it, and asked Xiao Jing: "Mr. Xiao, last night I asked you to secretly arrange a group of people to settle in various parts of the Southern Dynasties, can you arrange it?" ”

Because Chen Baxian decided to develop the Ganshui Basin and Lingnan 'Jiao' Guangzhou, in order to quietly lay a secret pile in these two places, Wang Ze instructed Xiao Jing, Cao An and others to quietly arrange a group of reliable people disguised as Nanchen.

In order to be more authentic and reliable, of course, these people must have the real household registration of the prefectures and counties of Nanchen, that is, the people of the households, most of whom are disguised as poor people from all over Nanchen, and a small part of them have become merchants and wealthy households in various states and counties.

These people will gradually spread to all parts of Lingnan in the 'waves' and 'tides' of the Chen Dynasty's development of Lingnan, and of course, the plantations and ports jointly established by Wang Ze, Chen Qian, and Feng Fu will continue to be opened.

As soon as he heard Wang Ze ask about the implementation of those people's household registration, Xiao Jing couldn't help but be a little complacent: "Xiao Langjun, don't worry, although we have been away from the Southern Dynasty for several years, the relationship between those friends is still there."

A small part of them are looking for those families who cooperate with us to help arrange, and most of them are 'spending' money to buy some small officials in various states and counties, and now there are many people who left their hometowns in the Southern Dynasty due to the war 'chaos', and now the Nanchen household registration is a 'chaos' and 'chaos', even if there is no previous household registration record, no one will suspect it. ”

Hearing Xiao Jing's report, Wang Ze nodded with satisfaction, now that he has sown a large number of seeds, it can be said that as long as he carefully applies 'fertilizer' and waters, he will get a rich harvest in the future.

Just when Xiao Jing wanted to boast again, Cheng Xueying and Zhu Qingqing on the deck below didn't know what was going on, and said loudly in unison: "Da Lang, come quickly, we have something to look for you!" ”

Looking at Wang Ze's figure in the distance, Xiao Jing had no choice but to 'touch' his nose with a wry smile, but thinking about it, Wang Ze's power has expanded so much in just a few years, and he is a hero from the dragon, and he can still be a 'mixed' Shangshu Ling in the future, so Xiao Jing is full of expectations for the future.

Because the ships of the fleet were all sea-going ships, including five ships of the 5,000-stone class, the fleet entered the sea from the waterway south of the sandbar at the mouth of the Yangtze River.

All the way north, there were no eyeless pirates to 'disturb', which made Gu Bin and others quite regretful, when Xiao Jing fled north, he was attacked by pirates one after another, but now it is gone.

A few guys don't want to think about it, when Xiao Jing went north, Hou Jingzhi's 'chaos' had just been quelled by Chen Baxian and Wang Sengbi, and the princes from all over the country were divided, followed by the invasion of the Northern Qi army, and the north and south of the Huai River were a chaotic scene, of course, many people couldn't survive and took risks.

Now Chen Baxian went on a northern expedition, especially after occupying the three counties of Yitang, Langya and Donghai in Haizhou, because Emperor Yang of Sui had not yet dug the Grand Canal, so it was extremely inconvenient to transport materials to Huaibei.

Although there was a small river called Swim River, which could go in small boats of less than 500 stones, it was far from enough to transport food supplies to the army, and a large number of Chen Jun's sailors sailed directly from the sea to Donghai County.

Imagine being a pirate on such a sea route where the Nanchen Navy is constantly coming and going, it should be how 'fat' you have to be to do it, and the people who have 'cramps' in their brains back then are not counted.

Because the ship was hung with a flag presented by Chen Baxian, Wang Ze's fleet was not blocked by anyone, and the road was unimpeded, and Wang Ze finally experienced the wonders of the ancient version of the special certificate.

In order to save time, the fleet did not stop when it passed through Yang County and Hai'an County, but sailed along the southeast wind for two days in a row, until Yuzhou Island, which is Donghai County currently occupied by Nan Chen, was ready to stay for one night to make some supplies.

Since Hou Andu, the former governor of Haizhou, is still besieging Xiapi County, where Murong Yan is stationed, with Cheng Lingxi, there is no need to visit again.

The reception of Wang Ze and his entourage was Nan Chen's top general stationed in Donghai County, but because Donghai County was an isolated island, there was no need to face the military pressure of Northern Qi, so the person stationed here was only a partial general.

Obviously, this general is also a person with a deep background, so he knew about the major events that happened in Jiankang City so quickly, and he also knew Chen Baxian's attitude towards Wang Ze better, so he was also very respectful to Wang Ze, which made Wang Ze, who didn't know what was going on for a while, a little 'touching' his head.

The general was busy introducing himself: "I have seen Xiahou, the young general Du Qian Du Zizhong, and his father Du Ling is the leader of the army under His Majesty!" ”

Well, it's another second-generation official! Wang Ze immediately understood the reason why Du Qian's attitude was so good. The heart said, no wonder he has such a good attitude towards us.

Du Qian's father is called Du Ling, and people are indeed much more like his name, when Chen Ba wanted to kill Wang Seng first, he shouted that Hou Andu, who was the most trusted, and Du Ling discussed in the secret room together, but this old brother was good, and he didn't agree.

Fortunately, Chen Baxian was soft-hearted and pitied that he was a rare loyal and upright man, but he strangled him with a handkerchief and left a small life.

However, the Du Qian in front of him is obviously different from his father Du Ling, and his words seem much more slippery, but it seems that he still has some ability, but he is not exactly a gentleman.

Because after a few days at sea, most of the big guys disembarked except for the sailors on duty, and the soldiers of the blue wolf battalion had to go ashore to recover.

Cheng Xueying and Zhu Qingqing followed Wang Ze to prepare to go here to take a look at the Qindong 'gate' left by Qin Shi Huang, it is said that there are north 'gates', west 'gates', and south 'gates' around Qin Shi Huang's mausoleum, but there is no east 'gate', and this Qindong 'gate' may symbolize the east 'gate' of Qin Shi Huang's mausoleum.

Du Qian sighed: "The Qindong 'Gate' is long gone, and when Emperor Wu of Liang built the city wall of Quxian County, the newly built East 'Gate' was called the Qindong 'Gate'!" ”

Wang Ze was dumbfounded, people come to see the 'gate' of Qindong to see Qin Shi Huang built, you have only been built for one or two decades of the city' 'gate', who wants to go all the way to see it?

As he was talking, he suddenly heard a cry from in front of him, Cheng Xueying immediately took Zhu Qingqing's hand and ran forward, and Wang Ze had no choice but to follow quickly.
