Chapter 871: Knowing Advance and Retreat

The two armies of Chuzhou have occupied the city and expanded the territory in Yangzhou, but there are few obstacles, like some towns, leaving a group of soldiers, some cities, and a battalion, even if they are occupied, and if there is a little resistance in the place, there will be a big chaos.

However, when the Chuzhou army was stationed, the whole Yangzhou was as smooth as a cat, and Leng Zhuo's Chuzhou army quickly occupied Yangzhou at the speed of ten cities a day.

And the Chuzhou army can be so smooth, in addition to Leng Zhuo's Jinhe route and Yangzhou Haofu have a lot of interests, but more because of the Nangong family, if there is no Nangong family, the Chuzhou army will definitely run into walls everywhere, even if it can take Yangzhou, it is definitely not only a speed of sending 100,000 soldiers and horses, and advancing hundreds of miles a day.

The Nangong family can be said to be a big tree in Yangzhou, covering most of Chuzhou, the four major families of the empire, and the Nangong family's position above the court may not be the strongest, but when it comes to the foundation, whether it is the East, the West Gate, or the North City, the three major families are not comparable to the Nangong family.

Because the foundation of these three families is rooted in the north, although this makes the three families have great influence in the court, but the local power is far less than the Nangong family, after all, the north is where the imperial power is, and Yangzhou is far away from the emperor, and the Nangong family is rooted in Yangzhou, and the big reason is that the Nangong family is the money bag sent by the empire to Yangzhou.

It is precisely because of the support of the empire that the Nangong family can take root in Yangzhou, and even the three thousand-year-old families of Wang, Xie and Tang have to be willing to be pawns, and after two or three hundred years, how deep is the foundation of the Nangong family!

Prince Qing was able to enter Yangzhou and occupy Suzhou and Hangzhou, Taicang, and there was still an opportunity for the Japanese to invade, and then, the Tang family pulled a group of people to support Prince Qing before he could gain a firm foothold in Yangzhou, but even so, Prince Qing wanted to go further, but he was met with unprecedented resistance.

Especially the Nangong family completely fell to Leng Zhuo's side, the situation of the Qingzhou army in Yangzhou is even worse, the tentacles of the Nangong family are almost all over every corner of Yangzhou, and it is enough to make you uncomfortable if you make it bad.

It can be said that Prince Qing went north, in addition to setting up a big game of chess, he did not capture the three mansions of Yangzhou, but did not get the expected help.

However, in the face of the Nangong family, Leng Zhuo is indeed a little at a loss where to start, the two families are now married, and most of the interests are the same, not to mention that the Nangong family is now fully inclined to the Leng family, some people are out of the way, and they have a strong contribution, if Leng Zhuo targets the Nangong family, it will be like lifting a stone to shoot himself in the foot, and he will not be happy.

But if the Nangong family is not restricted, the power of the Nangong family in Yangzhou will not only not weaken, but will be stronger, and the Nangong family will be a behemoth with a big tail, which is definitely what the superior does not want to see.

Leaving the Inner Mansion, Leng Zhuo returned to the backyard, and entered the study with some depression, the affairs of the Nangong family can only be put aside for the time being, Yangzhou has not yet been appeased, those who have taken refuge in Prince Qing's family are the first to deal with, and then there is the sea disaster, the year before last, the Japanese invaded Leng Zhuo but the memory is still fresh, although the Japanese invaded Leng Zhuo last year, although the Japanese were almost extinct last year, but this year, the Japanese seem to be making a comeback.

Now that the Penglai Islands off the coast of Yangzhou have fallen, they are still in the hands of the Japanese people, and the Japanese people may kill Yangzhou through this springboard at any time, thousands of miles off the coast of Yangzhou, but they can't prevent it, but the naval force in Leng Zhuo's hands is very weak, and the formation of a naval army has never been completed in a short period of time.

Finally, it is the landlord of Taicang Mansion, the whole Yangzhou local land annexation is serious, but fortunately, there are many handicraft workshops in Yangzhou, but there is no big contradiction, but the landlord of Taicang is obviously not an ordinary landlord, from the known situation.

The landlord of Taicang is a big clan and a small kingdom, and the internal unity is abnormal, and even the Nangong family does not dare to come to this place.

Yangzhou on the left, Suzhou on the right, and itself is more known as the Golden Taicang, here is the largest granary in Yangzhou, whether it is the geographical location, or the status of its granary, Leng Zhuo can not ignore it.

For the time being, these three major problems, the first one is best solved, I believe that as soon as the Qingzhou army retreats and the Chuzhou army advances, these people know what to do, kill the chickens and monkeys, and give some lessons, it is enough, and the remaining two are not easy.

In mid-to-late August, the Chuzhou army has occupied most of Yangzhou, and after Leng Zhuo handed over the affairs of Chuzhou to the internal government, he took Nangong Yuhu to Yangzhou City again, Yangzhou City, the Tang family has become history forever, most of them went north with the Qingzhou army, although the Wang and Xie families were inclined to the Qingzhou army at the beginning, but the two families did not throw themselves in the past because of the Nangong family, and now they are still in Yangzhou City, but they have been much more low-key.

At this moment, outside Yangzhou City, there are 30,000 Chuzhou troops stationed outside the city, and they have not yet settled in the city, and Leng Zhuo's arrival has made the Nangong family mansion full of lights, so lively, Yangzhou City has a head and a face, but anyone who feels that he has a little qualification, they all drill the camp to get an invitation, although many people can't see Leng Zhuoqi, but coming, it's better than not coming.

The early morning sun shone into the room, the gentle breeze blew into the room, rolled up the light gauze curtain, Nangong Yuhu lay on Leng Zhuo's chest, and the white jade fingers drew circles on Leng Zhuo's chest.

"Actually, I know you have a pimple in your heart, the Nangong family is indeed like the Emperor of the Earth in Yangzhou, most of the officials, and even most of the families are related to our Nangong family, this is like a big water banyan, the rhizome of the banyan tree is constantly entangled, and the big one can cover an island, and the roots of the Nangong family cover most of Yangzhou!"

"Now that Yangzhou is yours, my Nangong family has become a thorn in your side!" Nangong Yuhu said leisurely, Leng Zhuo smiled bitterly, and wanted to refute, but was held down by Nangong Yuhu's fingers: "You listen to me!"

"Since ancient times, a courtier's powerful power has made the emperor feel worried, and the fate of that courtier will definitely be very bleak, unless this courtier rebels and becomes the emperor himself, does anyone in my Nangong family have such ambitions, I don't know, but at least my father just wants to strengthen the Nangong family!"

"Father is also dizzy with joy, if you believe me about this, let me talk to my father, the Nangong family only wants to be rich and noble, and does not want to be an emperor!"

Leng Zhuo looked at Nangong Yuhu, but he was a little moved in his heart, if he had a wife like this, what more could he ask for! Leng Zhuo turned over and directly pressed Nangong Yuhu under him: "Madame is like this, it makes me a little embarrassed, but I guarantee that as long as my Leng family holds power for one day, the Nangong family can ensure that the generations are rich and noble! How about the two generations being in-laws?"

Nangong Yuhu's initiative to open his mouth undoubtedly swept away the biggest depression in Leng Zhuo's heart, and the Nangong family took the initiative to let Xian, which was undoubtedly the best result.

There is a bridge of Nangong Yuhu, which undoubtedly makes Leng Zhuo and Nangong family less estranged, after Nangong Yuhu went for half a day, in the afternoon of the same day, Nangong Lie came to the courtyard where Leng Zhuo lived, accompanied by Nangong Yuhu.

"You kid, you still have my father-in-law in your eyes, you just came to Yangzhou and wanted to suppress your father-in-law, but it's really unkind!" After Nangong Lie came in, he slapped the table directly and scolded Leng Zhuo.

Leng Zhuo was still stunned when he heard this, but when he saw Nangong Yuhu who was smiling behind him, he immediately understood that this father-in-law also wanted to be face-saving, and it seemed that this matter was very clear, Leng Zhuo hurriedly clenched his fists and sneered: "It's really a bit unkind, but this matter doesn't make my father-in-law's family suffer, if one day I Leng Zhuo can get to that position, the status of the Nangong family is like today's Sangong." ”

"Well, isn't it a little too far, let's be practical, Yangzhou has given you the Leng family, our Nangong family can make a little money, and the Ping An Bank will give me five more points for the Nangong family, how about it!"

Leng Zhuo smiled and nodded, with the expansion of Leng Zhuo's territory, the importance of Ping An Bank is self-evident, this is the institution that will manage the world's finances, taxes, money and food in the future.

"Then this matter is settled, my Nangong family is in charge of the huge Yangzhou, dealing with various families, speaking of scenery, but behind the scenes, it can make people have a headache to death, if you want to continue, I will hand it over to you, our Nangong family will only look at the money from now on, and will never help the mountain!"

Leng Zhuo was suddenly made by this father-in-law's slogan and couldn't smile bitterly: "Don't, govern Yangzhou, how can there be less Nangong family, it's better to be like this, if your father-in-law doesn't mind, you can be a politician in my political office, if there are any good talents in the Nangong family, my father-in-law should not hide his secrets, as the so-called virtuous do not avoid relatives, this place in Yangzhou still has to rely on the help of my father-in-law!"

"Hehe, you kid can speak, then my Nangong family won't let it, if there is anything overstepping, don't block it in your heart, we are in-laws, a family, everything is easy to discuss, if you don't open your mouth, let Yuhu spread the word, now the future of my Nangong family is betting on you!"

Leng Zhuo nodded, the Nangong family knew how to advance and retreat, Leng Zhuo couldn't make people feel cold, he groaned for a while, and said, "Father-in-law, I just have a big deal to do, but I don't have the energy to handle it now!"

"Oh, big deal, let's hear it!"

"Shipbuilding, the empire has two major rivers, many big lakes, and to the east, there is a vast and boundless sea, my father-in-law also knows that now that the Penglai Islands have fallen, the Japanese have eaten the sweetness last time, and sooner or later they will cross the sea and come, they can't hold it, they can only fight at sea, and this requires a lot of warships!"

"Maybe one day, we have to cross the sea, the east expedition to the island, the shipbuilding industry will be very prosperous in the future, with the strength of the Nangong family in Yangzhou, it must be easy to make achievements, when the time comes, the Nangong family can also form a huge transport fleet, covering the route trade, it is estimated that it is not difficult to enter ten thousand gold a day!"

Hearing this, Nangong Lie nodded, and said, "Okay, just listen to you, I'll handle this matter personally, isn't it just shipbuilding, how much you want, I can build as much for you!"

"Hehe, then I will also make a guarantee, I will want as many boats as my father-in-law builds, of course, the quality must be guaranteed!"

"Okay! That's it, don't fool you kid when the time comes!"
