"The subordinate Wang Er has seen the little marquis!" Gollum, a dark shadow fell to its knees.

As soon as Wang Ze entered the big tent, he was really startled by the person inside, the black shadow appeared too suddenly, coupled with such a loud voice, the decibel height was incomparable, it was simply deliberately scary.

However, when Wang Ze saw the appearance of the person in front of him, he couldn't say a word of what he wanted to blame, he kindly picked up the person on the ground, and muttered: "It turned out to be Second Uncle Wang, but we haven't seen each other for a long time!" ”，

Wang Ze, the person who suddenly appeared, recognized that he was his distant relative, and it was said that he was a clansman who had just come out of Wufu with Wang Ze, and he was no longer considered his own family.

Although the name is called Wang Biao, he used to be called Wang Er by everyone because he was very serious when he was in the cottage, and he was also the kind of person who was very low-key but serious about doing things.

In the first two years when Wang Ze first laid out the Southern Dynasty, many of the shadows that were planted at that time were arranged by Xiao Jing, who was the royal family of Xiao Liang, and later Wang Ze thought of this, and personally arranged some people in private for safety.

Wang Biao is five or six years older than when he left, his face is much tanned by the scorching sun of Lingnan, coupled with the shabby hat and clothes on his body, which is typical of the appearance of an unambitious small businessman, this outfit is obviously deliberately made up like this to come to Gaoliang County, it seems that it is not easy to come to this trip.

In the past two years, in the wild land of Lingnan, Wang Biao has been far away from his parents, wife, and children, and he doesn't know how much torture he has suffered, but Wang Biao has persevered here and has carried out the situation very well.

"It's been hard for you for the past two years!" There was a faint apology in Wang Ze's voice, after all, they not only stayed until now, but also continued to stay in Lingnan in the future.

Although Wang Biao has never liked to say much, he has a true temperament, and seeing Wang Ze's taller and taller figure after not seeing him for many years, he said with tears in his eyes: "For the sake of the little marquis's plan, even if Wang Er stays for a few more years, more than ten years, or even a lifetime, what can't he do!" ”

Saying that, Wang Biao said: "In order to prevent panic in Lingnan, the news of the Mei's large-scale attack in Jiaozhou this time was tightly sealed by Ouyang Yu, the governor of Lingnan. The villain heard that the little marquis was coming, because it was a matter of confidentiality, this time he was afraid that many people would reveal his whereabouts, so only the villain came alone, before coming Yang Tao, Wu Ying, Zhang Wei, Li Ke, Zhao Xiuzhi They also asked me to say hello to the little marquis! ”

Wang Ze knew that these five people were Wang Biao's subordinates, and it was Wang Ze who arranged for them to come here to assist Wang Biao's assistants, and these five people, like Wang Biao, also had parents, siblings, or wives and children living in the East China Sea.

Although they have invested a lot in Lingnan in the past two years, and know that they have made a lot of achievements in the past two years, Wang Ze still doesn't know how they took root here, so he was curious: "How have you been in Lingnan in the past two years?" ”

As soon as he talked about this Wang Biao, he opened the conversation, and he recalled: "At the beginning, I disguised myself as a homeless person from Yuzhou Island with Yang Tao, and then transferred to Hai'an County in Huaibei, at that time, there was a naval army of the Southern Dynasty that said that they would recruit immigrants to Lingnan, and as long as they went to Lingnan, there would be a large amount of land allocation, so we took the opportunity to get on the boat!" ”

"After the Hou Jing Rebellion in the Southern Dynasty, the household registration was seriously lost, so we said that we were from Yitang County, Huaibei (later in the south of Lanshan District, Rizhao, Shandong), and no one doubted us, after coming to Lingnan, we were assigned to Luozhou, which happened to be not far from the Zhanjiang Port built by the little marquis, so we did not change places!"

Wang Biao said to himself as if he recalled there: "Soon we got in touch with our people, and I let Yang Tao manage the land while opening a business in Zhanjiang Port, because of the private care of our Nanyang Commercial Bank, we soon made a lot of profits and continued to expand the plantation!" ”

"Soon after, Wu Ying, Zhang Wei, Li Ke, and Zhao Xiuzhi also came here using different identities and channels, and were recruited by me and Yang Tao respectively."

Speaking of this, Wang Biao looked at Wang Ze excitedly and said: "Little Hou Ye, in the past two years, our plantation has had tens of thousands of acres of land and 20,000 acres of mountainous land, and because Nan Chen no longer immigrated to Lingnan, we have privately recruited nearly 1,000 Han people from Huaibei to plant in the plantation, which is enough to serve the little Hou Ye. ”

Wang Ze was very satisfied with the achievements made by Wang Biao and others in just over two years, and he laughed and said: "We are doing so many things to let everyone live a good life, and if you live well, why do I want you to die!" ”

Wang Ze lowered his head and thought about it for a while, and then said to Wang Biao: "In a few months, I will ask the East China Sea to send you a batch of weapons in private, and you will first select two or three hundred young people from the people in the plantation to organize them to train the martial arts of the battle array, on the grounds of preventing the shengliao in the mountains from attacking the plantation!" ”

I have to say that the Shengliao tribe, which has a large number of people in Lingnan and has a fierce temperament, is a good excuse for Wang Ze to use.

This idea was not come up with by Wang Ze, but there was a previous incident that the plantation set up by the wealthy family of the Nanchen family in Lingnan was attacked by the local Shengliao tribe, so even the plantation established by Wang Ze and Feng Fu in partnership strengthened the protection force.

In this way, Wang Ze just used this ready-made excuse, and he would not attract the attention of Nan Chen's official mansion and Mrs. Xian. 163

Under this pretext, a small convoy was set up and then slowly increased in size as the situation evolved.

Moreover, because these plantation estates were established in shadows, they did not seem to have anything to do with Wang Ze at all, as if they were spontaneously formed by the local immigrants in Nanchen, and once these armies were formed, they would have a great effect on Wang Ze's influence in Lingnan in the future.

"Yes!" Wang Biao agreed to Wang Ze's order without hesitation, and then he asked: "Little Marquis, then the plantations established by those people arranged by the other Xiao Junshou should also let them organize the escort team together?" ”

Wang Ze glanced at Wang Biao and said, "You also have a connection with them?" Do they know that you are one of our people? ”

Wang Ze hurriedly bowed his head and said: "They don't know that I was personally sent by the little marquis, but because the business has some business dealings with them, they also know each other, and I know almost all of their contact points in Lingnan!" ”

"Oh?" Wang Ze glanced at Wang Biao in surprise, he didn't expect that this was really a spy master, so he said with a straight face, "You don't care about the people arranged by Xiao Junshou, you must keep your identity strictly secret, and wait until this year's Jiaozhou Mei's army is pacified by Nan Chen, you try to move the main force of the plantation to Jiaozhou!" Re-establish a larger plantation there! ”

"Huh!?" Wang Biao's mouth opened in surprise by Wang Ze's order, Guangzhou in the land of Lingnan is not bad, at least there is a large army of the imperial court led by Ouyang Yu to garrison, and there is Mrs. Xian, who is known as the 'Slang Virgin', so it has never been too much trouble, but Jiaozhou in the southwest is different.

Not only was the power of the imperial court much weaker, but even the population of the Han people was very small, and there were many Xiyue people, or Ouyue people and Zhan people, as well as a large number of unspeakable chaotic indigenous tribes.

These tribes have always been at odds with the imperial court, and because of the instigation of the neighboring Linyi State in the south, they will make some big trouble from time to time, and then they will be sent by the imperial court to kill a large army, and then they will be quiet for a while, and when their strength recovers a little, they will immediately jump out to find abuse.

Therefore, Wang Biao was very puzzled by Wang Ze's order to focus on the development of Jiaozhou forces in the future.

Seeing Wang Biao looking at himself puzzled, Wang Ze smiled and said: "You must know that although Jiaozhou is very chaotic, it is precisely because of the weakness of the Nanchen Imperial Court that we have more opportunities to exist, and we will have more space to show our hands and feet when we get there!" ”

Saying that, Wang Ze said in a very tempting tone: "When you get to Jiaozhou, it is best to go to Jiuzhen County and Rinan County, I will migrate a large number of slaves and people from other places, and I will also send instructors to help you train the escort team, and I will also wipe out the local natives!" You'll be our hero then! ”

Wang Ze planned very well, the indigenous tribes of Jiuzhen County and Rinan County were purged by the army of Nanchen and Lady Xian last time, and the local indigenous forces were weakened a lot, and a large amount of fertile land was left vacant.

At this time, Wang Ze only needs to secretly send people to buy a large amount of land, and then establish a tunbao, relocate the people, and slowly consolidate his power here.

In addition, Wang Ze also planned to build a base in the southernmost part of Zhuya County, which was probably located in Sanya in the later generations, even in the New China period, it was a place suitable for a large military port, and it was suitable for a sub-base of the Nanyang Fleet.

Although this place nominally belongs to Mrs. Xian now, even the nominal owner Mrs. Xian doesn't pay much attention to this place, if it weren't for the fact that Wang Ze and Feng Fu set up a large salt farm in the southwest of Zhuya County, I'm afraid that even most of Zhuya County would not be in Mrs. Xian's eyes.

With such a layout, Wang Ze was confident that he would be able to suppress the local indigenous forces in less than ten years, and then he could plan how to deal with the Linyi Kingdom further south.

Wang Ze didn't have much affection for this small country called Zhancheng State in the Ming Dynasty in the later generations, and it was not a country that was established by splitting the Ninan County in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

That is, the Western Jin Dynasty and the Eastern Jin Dynasty at that time really had no ambition, otherwise if I changed the master and saw that I would not slaughter him, Wang Ze hated and thought in his heart, this baby always substituted the Vietnamese devils of later generations into the role of Lin Yi State, and it seems that this country will be tragic sooner or later.

It's just that Wang Ze has another worry about moving Linyi, that is, Linyi is closely adjacent to Funanguo, a powerful country in Nanyang at that time, and it would be bad if he did it to Linyiguo, which would lead to the intervention of Funanguo.

Thinking about it, I'm afraid I have to pretend to be a pirate to fight Lin Yi Guo, first weaken the naval force of Lin Yi State, and then encroach on Lin Yi State, otherwise if there is a large-scale attack, not only will there be no need, but it will also be restricted by Funan State.

Thinking of this, Wang Ze was very unhappy in his heart, and he said in his heart, "First arrange the base in Jiaozhou, and if Funanguo really wants to interfere in the war between himself and Linyi in the future, I'm afraid I will really have to do one!" ’
