Chen Gang went out and found a pro-soldier: "After a while, the people inside will go out, and you let the sixth man follow quietly to see if there are any accomplices." ”

"The other party is Jinyiwei, you must be careful, you would rather lose it than be discovered."

"Whoa."

He turned around and took twenty taels of silver, Luo Haishan thanked him, and hurried away with the silver.

After going out, Luo Haishan quickly disappeared into the crowd, then turned left and right, and looked back from time to time.

A quarter of an hour later, they came to a back port, in which sat a beggar with a bowl in front of him, and when he saw him coming, he quickly got up.

"How? What did Yun Yangbo say? "It turns out that there is more than one brocade guard.

Luo Haishan said in a deep voice: "Looking at his reaction, there should still be His Majesty and the court in his heart." ”

"But we still have to be careful, I said before that I was alone, and he asked me how many people?"

"If you are sure that you are a person, he killed you, thousands of miles away, no one knows that you have come." The other brocade guard sneered.

"So let's be careful, from now on, let's separate, don't be together, na, here are ten taels of silver, you take it."

"Okay." Another brocade guard said: "If he dares to touch you, Lao Tzu will return to the capital and let His Majesty kill his entire family." ”

The two chatted a few more words, hugged their fists goodbye, and went separately.

At the same time, Chen Xu's mansion was on.

Chen Gang was staring at Chen Xu: "What should we do now?" ”

Chen Xu looked at the secret decree in his hand, and thought about Mu Pingshan's words during the day, he was really in a dilemma.

Do you want to do it? Do you want to poke King Han's ass? Going to fight Yunnan?

Chen Xu paced back and forth in the room, thinking about the possibility, success, and failure of this matter in his mind.

His brain is a hundred times stronger than Sun Xiaolao, and Sun Xiaolao thinks that he can do great things by casually agitating people's hearts.

Chen Xu thought a lot.

Even if Mu Pingshan and Sun Bo were killed, I don't know how many Han king's cronies there were in the army, Chen Xu remembered very well that a few days before the 150,000 army was sent in by Mu Sheng, the king of Han had the final say at that time, and he changed many generals one after another.

Because there were more than 100 generals at all levels at that time, who were transferred back to China, the King of Han was equivalent to more than 100 people, like Sun Bo was replaced at that time.

Chen Xu didn't expect King Han to rebel at that time, so he didn't pay attention to these people.

Then the king of Han returned to Yunnan, Mu Sheng presided over the military affairs of Jiaozhi, and a group of generals were changed one after another.

Before and after, in the 150,000 army, the generals of more than 100 households were replaced by at least 200 people.

Well, there are only a few people in more than 100 households.

Chen Xu estimated that among the 150,000 Ming troops in Angkor, there were more than 100 households, about 1,002.

That is, Han Wang and Mu Sheng changed one-sixth before and after.

Then King Han and Mu Sheng successively promoted a new batch of more than 100 households, all of which were the previous general banners and small banners.

From the occupation of the city to the fight against Angkor, King Han and Mu Sheng were constantly promoting and replacing military generals.

In this way, there may be more than 100 households, at least one-fifth of them can be regarded as the people of the Han King.

Well, even if you can succeed in holding the army hostage, go back in the direction of Champa and Cochin.

There are now soldiers and horses of the Han Dynasty stationed there, is it possible that the Ming army will fight the Ming army?

Also, if the ships of Cochin and Champa did not support them, it would be difficult for them to travel by land, and they would have to grab a number of ships.

Mu Sheng has at least sixty or seventy thousand soldiers and horses in Jiaozhi, and after such a long time, they must all be surnamed Han.

If you want to fight Yunnan, it is not easy to control the whole army.

"It's a tough thing to do." Chen Xu sighed and shook his head: "It's difficult, it's difficult, it's too difficult." ”

"Where is the main force of the Angkor dynasty now?" Chen Xu suddenly asked Chen Gang.

"They all retreated to Angkor Thong (the capital), probably to gather the main force of the whole country and defend the capital." Chen Gang said.

Chen Xu thought about the location, Angkor Tong is still far away from here, if there is turmoil within the Ming army, it must be quelled as soon as possible, in case the Angkor people find an opportunity, I am afraid that the 150,000 army will not be here.

"First of all, there can't be chaos here, and the time can't be long, otherwise it will be robbed by the Angkor people." Chen Xu said.

Chen Gang said: "I'm afraid that Sun Xiaolao will make his own decisions, and he will have the courage to do bad things." ”

"Your Majesty's secret decree has arrived, and we have to make two preparations."

Chen Gang's eyes lit up slightly when he heard that his hands were ready.

"After tomorrow's, you call our own brothers, more than 100 households, all over."

Chen Gang nodded, Chen Xu will convene his henchmen and more than 100 households tomorrow to discuss the matter.

Whether to do this or not, Chen Xu may still have to depend on everyone's opinions, and he can't act arbitrarily, because without the support of the generals below, he, the general who commands the army, only has more than 200 personal soldiers in his hands, plus Chen Gang's men, there are less than 500.

Chen Xu is preparing with both hands, betting on both sides.

The courtyard on Mupingshan's mansion is full of boxes of treasures.

Mu Pingshan was taking out a treasure from one of the boxes and placing it in his hand to watch, it is said that this is one of the treasures of the Angkor Palace, a jade Buddha statue, but Mu Pingshan can't see any difference.

After looking at it for a while, he said, "This box is sent to the Han Wangfu in Yunnan." ”

"Wow," someone on the side immediately agreed.

"This box is sent to the Xiping Hou Mansion."

"This box will be delivered to my house."

The bottom kept chattering, it turned out that this was a good thing for him to rob privately, of course, he was not only greedy, but also knew how to send it to King Han and Xiping Hou.

But there is no gold and silver here, because Mu Pingshan knows that when the Han King fights in front of him, in addition to food, he needs gold, silver and copper coins.

There were several people standing in the courtyard, and Zhou Shun was also there.

Zhou Shun, as the leading party, is now appointed by the King of Han and the prefect of Angkor Province (King Han set up Angkor Province).

"Governor Zhou, two boxes have been delivered to your house, check it out for yourself later."

"Don't dare, don't dare, it's also Zhou's honor to serve Wang Shi." Zhou Shun didn't pay much attention to money originally, but no one cared if there was a lot of money.

It's just that he is a scholar, suddenly turned into a prefect, and has a large number of financial announcements, which feels a little unreal.

But he knew that all this was given by King Han.

"How's the autumn tax?" Mu Pingshan took a treasure at this time and looked at it carefully, and asked while looking at it.

"Angkor has developed water conservancy and high grain production, and Angkor can collect 500,000 stone in tax this autumn."

Angkor Province is relatively large, accounting for one-tenth of the land of the Angkor Dynasty, and the population is also quite large, according to the heavy tax of the Han Dynasty, it is expected that this year's autumn grain harvest is 500,000 stones.

However, this does not mean that Angkor can collect 5 million a year, because the Han Dynasty occupies the most densely populated area with more grain fields, and the other is near the new capital of Angkor.

Two or even three crops of rice can be planted here a year, and the output of summer grain is far higher than that of Daming.

The key is that in the past, everyone helped the Angkor Dynasty to plant, and the land was not their own, and they had to pay heavy rent, and the people did not care.

Now the land is given to him by the king of Han, and what is planted is his own, so the yield also rises.

If there is no war next year, production will only be higher.

Zhou Shun said: "The first batch of 100,000 stones should leave the port tomorrow and be sent to Jiaozhi Haiphong first." ”

"Okay, Governor Zhou, it's done well."

"This is what Xiaomin -—— subordinate officials should do." He still hasn't adapted to his current position.

Mu Pingshan said a few words to Zhou Shun again, mainly because food is very important, and silver and copper coins should also be sent to Jiaozhi on time.

Don't hurry up to exploit the local minerals, you can use the help of the Ming army to recruit local Angkorians.

The two were communicating, and suddenly a personal soldier came over outside: "Deputy General Sun came to the door to ask for a meeting." ”

"Come to the antechamber, please." Mu Pingshan hurriedly went to the front hall.

The main commander of these 150,000 people is Chen Xu, and Mu Pingshan is the deputy general, which can be regarded as the second-in-command.

Originally, the Ming army would have a left deputy general and a right deputy general, but this time there was only one deputy general Mu Pingshan, specifically highlighting his status, and at the same time, Mu Pingshan also led the Chinese army.

Sun Bo is the left deputy general of the Chinese army, and he can be regarded as his deputy.

Sun Bo's fathers, Sun Lin and Qu Neng, attacked Sichuan from Yunnan at that time, so they were obviously the henchmen of the King of Han.

Mu Pingshan even knew that among the 150,000 troops, there were many people from the Han King.

Mu Pingshan hurriedly came to the front hall and looked at where Sun Bo was with the two people.

Sun Bo is still relatively young, only in his early twenties, but he has been honed in the army all the year round and looks relatively calm.

"Meet General Mu."

Sun Bo was the first to meet him and introduced him to him.

One is a thousand households Sha Laojiu, and the other is a thousand households Baifu.

Both of them were born in the Han Dynasty's own soldiers and learned to read and write.

Bai Fu and Sha Laojiu almost said in unison: "Someone wants to rebel." ”

"Ahh Mu Pingshan was shocked.

It turned out that when Bai Fu and them entered this army, the king of Han had recruited them, and ordered them to be humble and low-key after they came to the army, not to be proud of their background in the Han Wangfu's own soldiers, to make more friends with middle and lower-level officers, to treat sergeants well, and if necessary, to strive for marriage.

King Han said that whoever can successfully marry will have a heavy blessing from the king.

Mu Pingshan was stunned when he heard this, thinking that the King of Han would marry everywhere in Yunnan, but he didn't expect to use this trick here,—— hey, I don't know what to say."

Bai Fu and Qianhu Wang Xia'er are good friends, and they fought side by side when they were in Jiaozhi, this Wang Xia'er is Wang Fubao's fellow villager, and he is Wang Fubao's confidant.

After arriving in Angkor, the two often drank in private, and once drunk, when they heard that Wang Xia'er had a younger sister, Bai Fu proposed marriage, and Wang Xia'er agreed, and was very excited.

Because Wang Xia'er also knew that Bai Fu was born in the Han King's own soldiers, of course, Wang Xia'er didn't know when the Han King was reversed.

The corners of Mu Pingshan's mouth twitched slightly, thinking to himself, King Han's marriage is really invincible.

It didn't take long for the news in the army that the king of Han had rebelled, but everyone didn't dare to talk about it in private, and they didn't know.

Bai Fu knocked on the side and found that Wang Xia'er's attitude towards herself had not changed, and she seemed to be more enthusiastic, so she knew that this marriage still had an effect.

Today, Wang Xia'er was taken as Wang Fubao's confidant and called over to discuss private matters.

"Tomorrow, after they will conduct the exercise, they will lead troops to raid the general, kill the general and General Sun first, and then force Chen Xu." Finally, Bai Fudao.

"Mother's." Mu Pingshan scolded angrily: "These dog things, the King of Han is so good to them, he actually wants to oppose the King of Han? ”

Sha Laojiu also said. He asked one of Chen Xu's henchmen to drink tonight, but he was rejected, and Chen Xu should have made a move there.

Originally, this matter was nothing, but Sha Laojiu was stationed at the Angkor Thom Armory and the artisan office, and the Ming army was gathering local craftsmen here to make artillery.

Today, someone with Chen Xu just went over to watch and inquire about the progress of the cannon.

In the past, Chen Xu never cared about this matter, and Mu Pingshan was in charge, Sha Laojiu felt that something was wrong, so he told Sun Bo about it, and happened to meet Bai Fu to report the news.

Mu Pingshan was silent after hearing this: "Chen Xu is easy to deal with, he is a smart person, he will not bet easily, first teach Sun Lao and Xiao a good lesson." ”
