Chapter 581: My Jiangdong clan and the reverse Wei are not together!
- "I have already sent someone to check, and the place Wang Cang said really has white phosphorus, a large amount of white phosphorus!"
Zhu Ling's sentence was light.
But in fact... This process is extremely complex.
Half a day ago, Cao Pi received Wang Cang's guidance and roughly knew where the batch of white phosphorus shipped to "Jiaozhou" was hidden.
Back in the cave, Cao Pi immediately told Zhu Ling this important information.
Zhu Ling didn't dare to slack off, even if he was facing a search everywhere, he still sent his son Zhu Shu to take a group of guards to the corresponding location to investigate.
Must be found out... The authenticity of this white phosphorus hiding place!
It's just that...
Wang Cang's guidance is one thing, and really finding out where the white phosphorus is is another thing.
Outside the entire Anlu City, there are either mountains or endless flat land, and the so-called hiding place is a "hill"... Is the hill so big? Where? Hell knows!
It also happened to be snowing here... Zhu Shu took his personal guards to meet the snow flocculents, with white gas in his mouth, while evading the pursuit of the "enemy" everywhere, while looking for traces of "white phosphorus" in the hills.
The cold wind blew like a knife on his face, and he found nothing from day to evening...
However, they knew that the "white phosphorus" was hidden in this hill, but they did not dare to light torches or build bonfires to keep warm, so they could only rest in the cold wind for a while.
It's hard β
Zhu Ling's personal guards, each of them had a feeling of "the day is a dog", they had already fled to the cave on the border between Jiangxia and Nanyang, and they only needed to take one step... You can escape.
Can... Can... Just because Cao Pi, who didn't know how to be "stubborn", had to make meritorious service and stand up for your second uncle's legs!
So risky, so hard, pinning your head to the waistband of your trousers.
These guards secretly scolded Cao Pi countless times!
It's a dog...
On the other hand, Zhu Shu, he also followed the public and made a "dog" expression...
In fact, all this was a plan, and he also knew where the "white phosphorus" was hidden.
In fact, this batch of white phosphorus was to be transported to Luoyang.
As for what happens after that?
Zhu Shu doesn't know... Zhu Ling doesn't know either, but there is no doubt that... The ultimate consequence of this action... It must be an extremely exciting event, and it must resound in Kyushu.
It is also based on this that even if Zhu Shu knows the specific location, he can't say it too clearly, it's too easy to find, but it's too fake.
"When the morning dawns, we'll continue to look for it."
With Zhu Shu's words, all the relatives and guards nodded...
"Alas...," Zhu Shu showed a hint of dejection, he stared at everyone, "I know you all have complaints, and I also know that it's dangerous here, but... Whether we can return to Luoyang and whether we can take this feat, it all depends on the task of our trip... To live or to perish, it's only a day or two! Ladies and gentlemen... Cheer up and hold on... At least, there is hope! β
Zhu Shu's words seemed to make the atmosphere even more gloomy.
It's freezing, it's uninhabited, and God knows, will it encounter enemies? can be wronged, and at this time, I can only swallow it in my heart.
Alas...
These guards could only sleep with unwillingness and indignation, wrapped in simple quilts, they had to replenish their strength, and when the sky dawned, their journey had to continue.
In fact...
There were already soldiers around who noticed them, and they were soldiers of the Lu family's army.
"Those traitors are hiding here, do you want to tell Childe?"
"Or... Let's catch them first, this is a great achievement! β
It was two young foot soldiers who spoke...
The "childe" they mentioned refers to Lu Xun's son Lu Yan.
Since the "mutiny" of Zhu Ling, it was Lu Yan who was responsible for arresting the rebel army of "Zhu Ling".
It was only before the two young soldiers spoke, and an older soldier, like the leader of this army, quickly stretched out his fist and hammered it into the heads of the two soldiers.
"Grab it, you know how to catch it, Childe has three orders... Don't act rashly, don't you know what it means not to act rashly? β
"But... But they don't have many people, and we have enough soldiers..."
Without waiting for the young soldier to finish his words again, "Enough for your second master!" The veteran hammered him in the head again, "Do you have any misunderstanding of the captain's order, 'Don't act rashly'?" Stay here honestly, eat when you're hungry, sleep when you eat, and plug your mouth better than anything else! β
Belch... At this moment, the two young soldiers were left with a blank and helpless expression.
This... What the hell!
Obviously found the enemy? But can't catch it? This... What do you mean?
That's it, staying up until midnight...
In the hills, a Zhu Ling's personal soldier wanted to relieve a little, and a soldier was thirsty, and the two of them went to the lake under the hill together. It is a product of the Yangtze River flooding into the mountain stream in the past, and it was produced because of the topography.
Of course, the soldiers don't care so much, the upstream should take water to quench their thirst, and the downstream should "shhh The two of them were safe...
The one who "shh "Huh? Isn't that right? β
"What's wrong?"
The soldier shook his waist, and a few more drops dripped down...
He asked unhurriedly, tugging around his pants.
And the exclamation soldier held his chin, pondering, and said, "This is not right... I'm catching water upstream, you're peeing downstream, it stands to reason that... I shouldn't have stains in this water, it shouldn't have changed color, what... How does it look white..."
This...
As soon as the soldier finished speaking, the other soldier quickly rolled up his sleeves, stretched out his arm, and grabbed a handful of mud from the bottom of the lake!
Suddenly, a white lump the size of a grain of rice that could not be watered appeared in his eyes.
This is...
The soldier was shocked, he no longer cared about the biting water of the lake, nor did he care that his "shhhh He could confirm that it was phosphorus!
- It's white phosphorus!
The hard, powder-like object tasted too much like flint.
For a moment, the soldier was crazy in the lake, and after a while, he found another piece... Larger, more irregularly shaped, his pupils opened... Then, he didn't care about the "shhhhh
When he came out again, he groaned excitedly and restrainedly.
"Found it, found it... There's white phosphorus in it, there's white phosphorus..."
You know, the ignition point of white phosphorus is very low, and it will spontaneously combust when exposed to air, and if a large amount of white phosphorus spontaneously combusts, it is tantamount to a "gas bomb" for a city...
Therefore, it is necessary to isolate the air and store it in a substance with a relatively high boiling point.
White phosphorus is denser than water and will sink underwater, so water is used for preservation... Storage in the lake is the most appropriate!
Of course, Guan Lin will also use the "glass bottle" to preserve, but that would consume the glass bottle too much, so only in wartime will white phosphorus be filled into the "glass bottle" for airdrop...
It is also based on this that some lakes around Anlu City will be arranged as places to store white phosphorus, and there is not much protection around, because without protection, it is not easy to leak!
This would have been understandable...
Because there are many lakes in Jiangxia, if there are no clues, it is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack if you want to find white phosphorus from the hundreds of lakes that are longitudinal and horizontal.
"Childe, Childe, found... I found it... I found it..."
When the guard reported the news to Zhu Shu as if he was inviting merit, he finally let out a long breath.
- "I can count on finding it... I'm in a hurry!'
And when Zhu Shu sent out a fast horse... He had to inform his father Zhu Ling as soon as possible, and inform Cao Pishi.
The veteran of the Lu Jiajun who was waiting on the periphery also let out a long breath and sighed with emotion: "I finally found it..."
In fact, what he wants to sigh most is:
- "You're in a hurry to kill me! If I don't find it again, how can I explain to Patriarch Lu Xun and Gongzi Yunqi... Eh, I'm not afraid of a strong opponent, I'm afraid of an opponent with a brain like a pig!"
He sighed so much, so lowly and muttered...
The soldier on the side was extremely curious and asked him, "Brother?" The enemy has already sent his horse back, and I'm afraid that I've already found something, and I'm afraid that if I don't make a move... Just..."
"You're a big-headed ghost!" The veteran smashed another punch on the recruit's forehead, and then, he immediately ordered, "Close, close..."
But suddenly I thought about it, I felt that this was too fake, and the son of Yunqi emphasized it repeatedly...
Be real! Authentic!
It's still so real!
"Wait..."
He hurriedly retracted Fang Cai's words, and then "chirped" his mouth, "Continue to guard and wait... When the enemy really sends people to carry it, we will kill it again..."
The veteran's idea is that superficial kung fu... It's still necessary to make a show.
But in the ears of a soldier, in exchange for a sudden realization: "Captain... Or do you have the foresight, put a long line, catch a big fish, high... It's really high! β
That's it...
Zhu Ling informed Cao Pi of the situation on Zhu Shu's side, and Zhang Fang also heard it in his ears, maybe because of weakness, maybe because he thought of something, he didn't respond.
Cao Pi couldn't hide his excitement..."Is this serious? β
"Wu'er Shu has personally investigated, and it's true, but..."Zhu Ling's words paused before continuing, "However, this is Jingzhou's territory after all, just our words..."
Zhu Ling voiced his concerns.
Cao Pi was categorical, "If it is white phosphorus, the Taishan army in Nanyang will not stand still, send people to contact them, and cooperate with the outside world... Be sure to transport this batch of white phosphorus to Luoyang City! β
As he spoke, Cao Pi's eyes flickered... He seemed to have seen that he and the position of the son... It's that close again!

β¦
In the Anlu City Office.
Guan Lin and Lu Xun were playing against each other.
Although some news would come from time to time, and it would reach the ears of Guan Lin and Lu Xun through the mouths of soldiers one by one, the two of them always remained calm and calm.
Their chess pieces jump on the chessboard like soldiers and horses on the battlefield, and every move is well thought out.
Just as Guan Lin threw down a sunspot, a personal guard came to report, "According to Gongzi's orders, General Zhu Ling has discovered the lake where White Phosphorus is hiding, and sent fast horses, as if to contact the Taishan army in Nanyang!" β
Oh...
Guan Lin's throwing hand paused, and raised his eyes slightly, as if he had stagnated.
At this time, another soldier came to report: "Son, the Jiangdong clan headed by Gu Yong, the patriarch of the Gu family, has already contacted those Taoists and is negotiating specific bargaining chips!" β
When this news came, Guan Lin's expression was as usual, but it was Lu Xun... His complexion changed slightly, and he hurriedly asked, "Gu Yong?" How could Yunqi send Gu Yong to contact that Daoist Zuo Ci and Ge Xuan? Koto clan... The word is the head, you have to be careful with the cloud flag! β
Faced with Lu Xun's questioning, Guan Lin withdrew the chess pieces, and he explained with a smile: "The hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and the big clans are particularly profit-seeking, and the word profit is the head, so it's okay... Then I'll give them benefits... Let them not bear to give up, can not abandon the profit! β
"Give?" Lu Xun just chanted such a word, he suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly asked: "What do Yunqi mean are those ore veins?" β
"Haha..." Guan Lin didn't answer, but smiled heartily, and handed a letter on the table next to Lu Xun with it.
He said: "This is a letter from my second brother Mi Zifang, Bo Yan might as well take a look at this letter first, and you will know... How can I trust these Jiangdong clans? β
This...
With doubts, Lu Xun unfolded the letterhead.
Originally... Collecting these "disobedient" Jiangdong clans for their own use was also part of Guan Lin's Northern Expedition plan.
He first sent Guan Yinping and Lu Yanzheng to dispatch people to excavate the veins of two copper mines in Jiangdong and the veins of a salt mine... Then, news of the excavation of these veins was deliberately disseminated.
Naturally, these Jiangdong clans, who were originally "spreading the land into the mu", "competing for farmers", and "dividing cultivated land", did not cooperate with Mi Fang everywhere, and they keenly smelled the huge benefits!
This is a "copper mine" or a "salt mine"!
There are "copper" and "salt" stored in it, not to mention that "copper" is the currency of this era, digging out copper veins is equivalent to "picking up wheat to open a mill" without profit and trading.
The amount of "salt" that can be extracted from the "salt mine" alone is terrifying!
You must know that the level of salt production in this era is not high, and the so-called seawater extraction and brine boiling salt method are still in the exploration stage, and most of the salt produced is coarse salt.
The real large-scale salt production depends on the refining of this "salt mine"...
Through crushing, processing, dissolving, filtration, evaporation, and drying of "salt mines", it is finally made into edible salt, which is more "fine" than "coarse salt".
You know, you can be meatless, but you can't be saltless...
For soldiers to fight, this sentence is ten times more important!
Fine edible salt is used as a "military quartermaster" and is rarely seen on the market.
It is no exaggeration to say that no matter the two copper veins, the excavation of this salt vein alone will bring the degree of wealth... Far more than the sum of Wu Zhisi's surnames, this is extremely terrifying.
And that's based on this...
The patriarchs of the major clans led by Gu Yong rushed to Mi Fang's side as soon as possible.
ββSpread into acres... Cooperate!
ββFarmers not only grab it, but also send it!
- As for arable land, it should be given... These big clans are all extremely generous to Mi Fang, what should not be given, as long as Mi Fang speaks, they will all be given!
The main thing is to be responsive!
And the patriarchs of these big clans have only one purpose, these two copper ore veins, a salt ore vein, you have to take them to play together!
Rich... Let's earn it together!
As for Mi Fang's reply to them, it had already been discussed with Guan Lin.
These two copper veins and a salt vein were mined by Lu Jiajun and Mi Jiajun together, and it was impossible to share a piece of the pie with them when they saw the benefits and inputs.
Hear this...
These Jiangdong clan patriarchs suddenly frowned, and one by one they stomped their feet in frustration.
Yes, this feeling of seeing others make money is even more uncomfortable than not making money yourself...
But Gu Yong, Zhang Wen, and Lu Dai were willing to compromise, they made a look, and the juniors in the clan immediately knelt down, and directly hugged Mi Fang's thighs firmly, with a very clear attitude... If you don't play with them, they won't leave, and they will hold on to them forever.
"Oops..."Gu Yong said with emotion: "General Mi is the second brother of Yunqi Gongzi, and Yunqi is a person respected by our big clans, so after all, we are a family, and the family does not speak two words... This vein, the vein... General Mi must be merciful, and share some with us! It's also good for us to work together for the Prince of Yunqi and General Mi..."
"This... This..."
Mi Fang deliberately "chirped" her mouth and made an extremely embarrassed appearance.
He was embarrassed for a long time, then he spread his hands and opened his mouth: "These three ore veins, no matter what you say, they have nothing to do with you, but... According to what my third brother said, there are no less than twenty ore veins in the north against Wei, and there is also a gold mine in Huainan in the nearest one..."
If it is said... When it was mentioned that there were twenty veins in the northern Wei Dynasty, the patriarchs of these Jiangdong clans were already bright-eyed.
So, when mentioning that there is a gold mine in Huainan, the patriarchs of these Jiangdong clans are not as simple as their eyes shining, their eyes are round and huge, as if... What appeared in front of me was a mountain of gold.
Then, they clenched their fists, and what appeared on their faces was a line of big characters - we are not in the same sky with Wei Wei!
Oh, yes...
You have twenty ore veins against Wei, and there is a gold mine in Temeow, which... This...
It is no exaggeration to say that in this world, if these big clans can work together to dig out a gold mine, then... Then they just didn't do anything, and at that time, there was no family that could compete with them financially, even... In the future, they will still have enough capital to compete with the big clans of the Central Plains... This is a big event that affects the whole body!
Shine, shine, shine β shine β shine brightly, shine brightlyβ
However... Mi Fang's words continued, "Actually... Although there are many veins in the north of the Wei Dynasty, they are far less than those overseas, if they are based on Jiangdong, the development of the navigation industry... The ocean-going continents in the middle of the sea, where the gold... It's incomparably rich! Oh, yes... My second brother mentioned that at the end of the sea there is a 'San Francisco', as the name suggests... There is a mountain of gold, and the wind and the sun are blowing... The colors have become old, just waiting for someone to go there and take them away! β
Belch... Ocean Voyages...
San Francisco? Mountains of gold?
At this moment, the patriarchs of the Jiangdong clan in front of Mi Fang were all stupid, and they seemed to have fallen into a new round of madness again before they woke up from the previous round of madness.
Crazy...
This San Francisco is crazy!
It's crazy that the gold is piling up.
"Eh..."Mi Fang looked at their cheeks with her afterglow, looking at them with a fascinated look, Mi Fang then sighed: "It's a pity, Jiangdong was initially decided, my energy is focused on Jiangdong here, and my second brother has every opportunity... There are too many things that he needs to handle, whether it is this northern attack against Wei, or ocean sailing... We also have more than enough heart but not enough power! I won't tell you anything, I don't know... These veins and gold mountains are fine, once I know about them, obviously they are there, but I can see but can't touch them, this feeling... I'm suffocated, oops, I'm suffocated! β
This...
This...
With Mi Fang's words, the patriarchs of the Jiangdong clan looked at each other.
Actually, what Mi Fang said... It's mysterious.
It's a gold mine again, it's a gold mountain again, it's the Northern Expedition again, it's the Great Voyage... If you change someone to tell Gu Yong and Zhang Wen about them, these big clans must think that this person is a psychopath, and there is absolutely no possibility of believing it, but now... This special meow has been dug up in Jiangdong!
And proposed... The location of the vein is Guan Lin, Guan Lin, Guan Lin!
This... Credibility, full of -
After they exchanged the "greedy" glances with each other.
"Brother Zifang... You tell us this, you are our reborn parents! β
Obviously, Gu Yong is older, but in the face of Mi Fang this time, the sentence "Brother Zifang" has completely pulled the relationship in place, to the extreme...
He has the posture of a subordinate! In fact, in the face of such a big interest, let alone a "Brother Zifang", it is a shout of "Daddy Zifang"... That... These patriarchs of the great clan did not hesitate for a moment.
Compared to the prosperity of the family, compared to the innumerable wealth, dignity... Count it as a hammer.
"Gu Lao... You, I... I... I can't afford it! β
"Brother Zifang!" Gu Yong grabbed Mi Fang's hand, "From now on, we are the advocates of the various clans in Jiangdong, but you are the patriarch of our big clan patriarchs, no... You are the leader of our alliance! You just say what to do, right? For the gold mines of Huainan, for the veins of the north, for the overseas San Francisco... From today onwards, you point to the east, we will never hit the west, you guide, we will never hit the north, from tonight onwards... We're on board the big ship of you and the Cloud Banner Prince, and we'll be both prosperous and lossy! β
This...
looked at the hot eyes of Gu Yong and these big clans.
Mi Fang was in a trance...
That seems to be going well, right? It went even better than expected!
But then again, Mi Fang can understand them very well, this kind of thing, they change positions, and he will do the same when he regards wealth as his life... It can even put down its dignity even more.
Really... Greedy people all have something in common.
"Ahem..."
I only heard Mi Fang cough lightly, "This ocean voyage is in a hurry, you need to take it step by step, take your time... Fortunately, my third brother has provided some drawings, and according to the drawings to build a ship, you can try it in the ocean for a year and a half... As for... Those veins in the north! β
Speaking of the northern border, that is, the veins of the reverse Wei, Mi Fang couldn't help but hold his chin in his hands, and he said in embarrassment while "chirping" his mouth: "If Cao Cao doesn't get out of the Central Plains?" Where are we going to dig these veins..."
"But my third brother has a way to get Cao Cao out of the Central Plains... It is... It's just that you need some fresh faces for Wei Wei, and you have to calculate them! Trick them. β
Fresh faces?
Calculate?
Cheat?
It stands to reason that these big clans in Jiangdong often encounter trouble, and they are determined to retreat one by one, and there is absolutely no reason to take the initiative to ask for help and take the initiative to dedicate themselves.
But now it's different, it's about a huge wealth, it's about Guan Lin, Mi Fang... With or without them to play.
Immediately...
"I'll go..."
"I'll go..."
"Don't fix it, my face is the most raw... Let me go! β
"You can't do it, if you calculate, then let me go. During this time, I always went against General Mi, and I didn't hear of how the reverse Wei was, only I came forward... is the most credible! β
It was none other than Gu Yong who said the last words!
