By the time we set off for the return voyage, it was late November. Although Yang Wen is reluctant to give up his daughter, he is even more reluctant to give up his baby son. Of course, Yang Yan wanted to go back to Chongqing Mansion with Ouyang Xuan, but she never thought that Yang Bangxian was also clamoring to go, to see the new atmosphere under the rule of the Thunderbolt Army with her own eyes, and to follow her brother-in-law to see for a long time. Yang Wenwen thought about his youthful nature, and after a while, he just stopped arguing, so he scolded him angrily with a straight face.

Unexpectedly, Yang Bangxian didn't give up at all, so he first went to Yang Yan and Ouyang Xuan, and asked his sister and brother-in-law to go to his father to speak for him. Although Yang Yan doted on this younger brother, she didn't dare to go to her father. Yang Bangxian is the son of the Yang family, and he will be the lord of Banzhou in the future. Going to Chongqing Mansion with him, doesn't he become a hostage of an alliance in the eyes of the outside world? Yang Yan had this concern, and Ouyang Xuan didn't dare to speak for him. Seeing that his sister and brother-in-law refused to help, Yang Bangxian went to find his uncle Yang Dasheng, Mr. Tian and the patriarchs of the major families in Banzhou. When these people saw that Shizi was coming, they naturally had a good life of persuasion, but they did not expect that although Yang Bangxian was small, he was unusually clear and calm, and listed the benefits of going one by one, and actually persuaded them.

Many powerful figures in Banzhou came to intercede for Yang Bangxian, which surprised and proudly Yang Wen, and was surprised that he actually persuaded so many people, and it was proud that it could be seen that this kid was quite skillful, and it would be possible to make Banzhou more prosperous over time. The people who came to help Yang Bangxian intercede were the pillars of Yang Wen's rule in Banzhou, and Yang Dasheng and Tian were his right-hand men, so they naturally wanted to buy them some face. Of course, in the end, it was the reason for Yang Wen to agree to Yang Bangxian to go to Chongqing Mansion, and after thinking about it, Yang Wen felt that it was not unreasonable.

Yang Bangxian believes that he has many benefits from going to Chongqing Mansion. The first is that you can learn from your brother-in-law and increase your knowledge. Ouyang Xuan knows astronomy and geography at the top, and has amazing unpredictable prophetic skills, and his vision pattern is far from being comparable to ordinary people. Even if you can learn a little from him, it will not be beneficial to Banshu. The second is to study advanced tactics and concepts. In just over two years, the Perak Army has risen from a 50-member Xiang Army grain collection squad to a strong army, and it has managed the ruined Chongqing Mansion and Qiongzhou and other places to prosper. According to Ouyang Xuan, ideas play a decisive role in this. The third is to learn knowledge and technology. The resources under the rule of the Thunderbolt Army were far inferior to those of the government governments such as Yuxing and Luzhou, and in addition to the fact that the land was fertile, the resources were even inferior to Banzhou. However, the Thunderbolts not only had a surplus of food, but also produced an astonishing amount of salt, iron, and other materials, thanks to their advanced knowledge and technology.

As for the security concerns of everyone, Yang Bangxian disagreed. The Thunderbolts are safe and unstoppable. He is both Ouyang Xuan's brother-in-law and a guard, so he is naturally very safe. As for leaving the territory of the Perak Army, it is definitely to participate in military operations. Although there will be casualties on the battlefield, the Yang clan has a tradition of leading troops to fight since ancient times, and they have never been afraid of battle. The ancestor Yang family will be full of loyalty and martyrs, and they will be proud of the horse leather shroud. After entering the anchor state, every time there was a big war, the head of the Yang family personally led the troops to defend against the enemy, and was proud of his achievements in killing the enemy on the battlefield. The martial spirit is the fundamental reason why the major families and surrounding tribes in Banzhou are in awe and are willing to obey the orders of the Yang family.

Looking at Yang Bangxian's still immature face, although Yang Wen still had a trace of hesitation in his heart, he also agreed that he would go to Chongqing Mansion with Yang Yan for a period of one year. He knew in his heart that although his son was quite talented, he still needed to go through a lot of trials and hardships before he could become a qualified lord of Banshu. At that moment, he called Yang Yan and asked her to take care of her younger brother, and told Yang Bangxian to obey the discipline of his sister and brother-in-law when he went out, and not to provoke right and wrong. Seeing that his father agreed to go to Chongqing Mansion by himself, Yang Bangxian was too late to be overjoyed, and naturally agreed to the advice.

There were more than 300 ships on the return trip, most of which were merchant ships carrying goods. In addition to the supplies procured from Banzhou, these ships also included Yang Yan's dowry. In addition to the nitrate, mercury, and tung oil that the Perak army urgently needed, these dowries also included nearly a hundred cows and ponies, and even more than a dozen cans of poison used on arrows. Yang Yan's dowry also included Ran Zhong and the guards of more than thirty people, but she knew that Ouyang Xuan was extremely disgusted with personal dependence, so she had been relieved of these people's status as domestic slaves. However, Ran Zhong and the guards did not want to leave, and still wanted to follow him to Chongqing Mansion.

According to the agreement, the Perak Army and Banju Trading will be operated by a joint caravan established by both parties, each holding 50% of the shares, and the name of the caravan will be Nanyang Company. Yang Wen knew that although Ouyang Xuan was the leader of the Thunderbolt Army, he didn't have much property, and it wasn't like Banzhou was the Yang family's private property. For fear that his daughter would suffer hardship in marrying in the past, he decided to divide half of Banzhou's shares in Nanyang Company as Yang Yan's private money, and authorized him to manage Nanyang Company on behalf of Banzhou. Ran Zhong and the members of his guard will be transferred to the Nanyang Company as a whole to engage in business or security. Cui'er originally knew the words after following Yang Yan, and she would also be in charge of finance at Nanyang Company.

Not all of the people who came to Banzhou with Ouyang Xuan returned to Chongqing Mansion this time. Zhu Zhuozi, as the plenipotentiary representative of the Perak Army, will stay in Banju City with the accompanying business personnel, on the one hand, to implement the preliminary agreement, and on the other hand, to prepare for the next step of the Thunderbolt Army's arrival. It can be expected that with the construction and operation of the mine factory and the development of caravans, there will be a steady stream of technicians coming to Banshu. Also remaining in Banzhou were the accompanying special companies, who would stay in Hailongtun to train the Banzhou soldiers in the tactics of using firearms, which had been learned from the bloody battles with the Mongols, and to protect Zhu Zhuozi's commercial activities.

When Ouyang Xuan made the decision to leave the special company in Banzhou, Dong Hu was worried about the safety of the return trip. In this regard, Ouyang Xuan smiled and told him that he didn't have to worry about it. Sure enough, Banzhou not only sent 100 elite soldiers to accompany it, but also sent people to Chongqing Prefecture, Luzhou Prefecture and Jiading Mansion by fast boat to submit an official document, asking the local naval army to take care of it. This was essentially a reminder to the government along the way that the Banju Yang family would be passing through their jurisdiction by boat. At present, there is no Mongol naval army on the Sichuan River, and the water bandits along the way are simply unable to resist such a large fleet, and only the government naval army can pose a threat.

As the main force of the Sichuan battlefield to resist Mongolia, the Banzhou Yang clan was extremely relied on by the Lin'an court. At present, the situation of resistance to Mongolia is severe, and the official army either flees under the attack of the Mongolian army, or surrenders the city, and there are few strong troops who can fight and fight well, and the Yang family is one of them. What's more, the Yang clan in Miao Jiang also set an example for other barbarian tribes. Therefore, not only did the important ministers of the court try their best to befriend the Yang family, but even Song Lizong often sent people to comfort him. If the Yang clan is attacked by the official army, it will inevitably cause thunder and anger on the Lin'an side. In addition to surrendering to the Mongolian army, the only way for the officials in charge to be killed is to wait for the killing.

The flotilla with the flags of the Banju Army and the Perak Army sailed from Banju to Chongqing Province. The government sailors along the way who got the official documents in advance not only did no one dare to make things difficult, but also sent people to drive the small group of water bandits out of sight. At the moment, Lu Wende was not in Chongqing but still in Ezhou, after Yu Xing won the battle for Jingyan, after returning to Jiading, he led his army to the border Yi District, and heard that a gold mine cave was found there, so Ouyang Xuan did not order to stop in these two cities. He actually wanted to go to Diaoyu City to visit Wang Jian, Zhang Jue, Wang Li and others, but when he saw that everyone was eager to return home, he ordered the fleet to sail straight to Chongqing Mansion.
