The Hidden Dragon Out of the Water Chapter 1 Section 2 Merchant Debate 059/020
The big ship docked, and the soldiers reported that the Nanling ferry arrived.
Wen Tingyu and Ren Tianmin went out of the cabin together and boarded the bow of the ship. But seeing that the mountains and rivers in the south of the Yangtze River are spreading, the river wind blows a chill.
Wen Tingyu didn't feel a shiver.
Ren Tianmin's sharp eyes hurriedly took off the big red satin cloak on his body and stepped forward to put it on Wen Tingyu, and said with a smile: "Jiangshang has always been windy, general, you must pay attention to your body! Now you are the commander of the first army, and you have all the opportunities for the day, but you can't stand the wind and cold at all! If you make a slight mistake, it will affect the morale of the soldiers of the whole army!"
Wen Tingyu glanced at Ren Tianmin and said with a smile: "Brother Tianmin is really joking, I am not the kind of weak little woman in your room! Now that this beautiful Jiangnan has finally seen it, our peaceful days of living happily for a year or two have finally come to an end, and the army encirclement and suppression does not know when it will be the end, and life in the army has always been poor and boring! Are you really not thinking about your world-class wealth and business now? Your brother Tai is really going to the wrong way to be a soldier and eating military salaries, and the loss is not small!" Wen Tingyu looked back at Ren Tianmin and smiled.
Ren Tianmin said with a smile: "The big handsome is joking, how can the last general's little money be regarded as the wealth of the world, but it is just enough to have no worries about food and clothing in the village, how can it be compared with the four major money villages in the world! Besides, the little bit of money of the last general may be called rich in Guangling, but it is not comparable to the prosperity of today's right village!"
A little red shook his head and smiled: "Brother Tianmin's words are wrong! How can this be compared! Ben Shuai has been in Yangzhou for several years, and you still know a little bit about the situation in the general village, and the richest man in Guangling is none other than your Ren Jiabao general village; as for your right village, it is the home of Houmen." The wealth is incomparable, how can it be compared with your total village!"
Ren Tianmin arched his hand and smiled: "What the big marshal said is true." The last general, father and son, have been running around all their lives to earn this meager yield, but it is not as good as the second master of Youzhai to raise his hand! I am ashamed to say it! The last general is now waking up from a big dream. I am willing to be more open, chase after the handsome, and ask for a little merit, so that the ancestors will be glorified, and there will not be too many right villages!"
A little red patted Ren Tianmin's arm, and said with a smile: "Look at what kind of polite words your brother Tianmin is talking about, Ben Shuai is now just a substitute for the principal, and he can't help himself; and thankless, to put it bluntly, we are also working hard for you Renjiabao Right Village! Besides, the position of Ben Shuai's general is also earned by nine deaths, but your brother Tianmin's title is not easy to obtain! Hey, Wen is still an outsider after all!" A little red's mood was much darker, and he watched with his hands behind his back as the sergeants began to carry supplies to the shore.
Ren Tianmin paused for a moment. smiled: "It's not that the last general is ruthless, my general Wang Qi has no information for so many days, I'm afraid that he has already suffered misfortune, in fact, the backbone of this Xuzhou soldier is now none other than the marshal......"
A little red shook his hand to stop Ren Tianmin, and said lightly: "Brother Tianmin, don't you think you are too much, everything I do today is due to the general king, and worrying about the general is also our duty as a vassal, and it is also our duty as a subject to quell the rebellion for the lord of the country! Today, the Xuzhou soldiers are still strong, and they have been ordered to go to war. You and I will definitely make concerted efforts to establish new achievements in order to add to the honor of my Xuzhou soldiers! No matter when the great general Wang returns, the Xuzhou soldiers will still be worshiped by the two ladies of Renjiabao, and their surname Ren will never be given the surname of the side! If anyone dares to spread the rights and wrongs of the great general Wang in the future, this commander will severely punish him!" Wen Tingyu brushed his sleeves and left.
Ren Tianmin was stunned.
A little Red Colonel invited Ren Tianmin into the cabin.
A little red hand nodded with a cup of strong tea and asked Ren Tianmin to sit down, and said with a smile: "Seeing that this army will meet in two or three days." I don't know what your brother Tianmin thinks about this raising troops and bandits?"
Ren Tianmin took the tea handed by the little school, looked left and right, and laughed in a low voice: "Dashuai, it's not that the last general is too talkative." You are now the head of the Xuzhou soldiers, which is extraordinary. There can't always be a few women around to serve you! Men are naturally clumsy; besides, if these officials and masters in Lin'an know about this, they won't make fun of my Xuzhou soldiers' ignorance and shallowness! The last general heard that this Nanling realm has been rich in beautiful women since ancient times, and they are neither tall nor short. Not fat, not thin, not noisy, can be called a stunner in the world, no, after getting off the boat, I will personally go to choose a few little women for the handsome?"
A little red shook his hand, put down the teacup, waved his hand to call the entourage to retreat, looked up and smiled: "Brother Tianmin, don't mess around, you and I don't want to contribute to the court and the society in this war, but I only think that it is not the right way to enjoy yourself! You are the first time to go out with the army, this commander does not blame you, and I will not take it as an example! Besides, this is the first time that my Xuzhou soldiers have been recruited to fight against it is not a child's play, we must not be careless!"
Ren Tianmin said with a smile: "What the marshal instructed is that the Xuzhou soldiers should not act rashly for the first time to eliminate harm for the country, and the last general means that although our Xuzhou soldiers can meet 20,000 elites in three or two days, it is inconvenient for us to rush to success." Since we don't need to be in a hurry, then what can we do in this barbaric place, eight words: follow the customs of the locals, and wait for changes!"
A little red blinked, and said with a smile: "You Brother Tianmin don't have to pretend to be modest, Ben Shuai knows that you are from a businessman, good at calculation, and good at grasping the timing, but you should talk about how we should follow the local customs and wait for the change!"
Ren Tianmin laughed dryly twice, and said with a smile: "The last general will never dare to hide in front of the marshal, let alone be arrogant, he only knows that what he says is all up to the marshal." Dashuai, think about it, the bandits of Nanling are not a one-day disaster, since ancient times, no one has been able to conquer and step on the level, even the martial saint Huaiyin Marquis Han Xin is no exception; although the current imperial court has repeatedly used troops, it is also a victory and a defeat; even my family Lang Tianhui has also suffered enough of the suffering of this gang of bandits. What does this mean? It shows that this Nanling bandit suppression is by no means as light as a matter of one and a half months! Dashuai, you must be mentally prepared, and the time is long, and the losses will be so great that you and I may not be able to think about it! Secondly, this time we came to be constrained by the Marquis of Kyushu, his people are mysterious and deceitful, and no one in the world knows the true face of Lushan, and our every move can be seen clearly under the noses of others, and if we are not careful, we will fall down and not get up;
A little red nodded, a little worried on her face.
Ren Tianmin said: "Since it is the Hou of Kyushu who takes the lead in suppressing the bandits, we should have no decision-making power and no guilt to bear, then we should not act recklessly, neither seize the first place to cause others to resent, nor dare to make indifferent sacrifices thankless." This does not take the first place to take credit, it means that we are conscripted and not transferred, and only when we see the official letter of the Ministry of War can we justifiably send troops to attack; without making sacrifices, it means that we can't come in vain, this army has not moved the grain and grass first, and we have to supply the daily expenses of the army to the fullest. Shuai, did you say that?"
A little red couldn't help nodding yes, frequently casting satisfied eyes, and hesitating: "Ben Shuai is just worried that it's not time to rashly export before this war starts!"
Ren Tianmin smiled: "Shuai, you are too worried." Now, if this Lin'an can settle this Nanling by itself, can we still use our Xuzhou soldiers and horses! Since it is the imperial court that asks for us, we can't look down on ourselves, and we should not be embarrassed to open up what we should take, what we should want, and what we deserve; besides, if our Xuzhou soldiers come to suppress the bandits, they will shed blood from the dead, and the marshal will not ask the imperial court for more things at this time, and what will he take to comfort the soldiers at that time!"
A little red nodded and said, "What Brother Tianmin said is true, and Ben Shuai will go to the court later." ”
Ren Tianmin said: "Since we are here from afar, we should not return empty-handed, otherwise your reputation will be greatly discounted in front of the generals, so the purpose of our visit is to completely set foot on Nanling." As for how to set foot on the Nanling Tomb, does it depend on the imperial court and the Marquis of Kyushu? No, it depends on the local people and the Nanling Dutong Tianhui Uncle!"
Ren Tianmin looked at a little red and smiled: "Does the marshal know the purpose of the Nanling woman mentioned by the last general?"
A little red was puzzled: "Could it be that you mean to call Ben Shuai to marry a local big family?"
Ren Tianmin slapped his thigh and said, "Exactly." The imperial court repeatedly sent troops to clear the land without success, and that was because the imperial court was not allowed to enter the mountain and the village. Isn't it true that a large number of dead soldiers are dispatched to deal with Qianyuanzhuang today in order to get a secret passage into the mountain? I heard that the Nanling Dirty Dragon Pond has spread for 500 miles, and how can there be only one secret passage that is connected to each other, otherwise how would the armor and iron ore of this dragon pond be smuggled out? If we want to make immortal merits, we don't need to rely on those fools in the imperial court at all!"
A little red suddenly realized, got up and laughed, and said: "God help me, God help me!, this handsome brother Tianmin is like a tiger, yes, our Xuzhou soldiers know the secret way into the mountain, why do you need to look at other people's faces!"
A little red and excited face flashed red, as if he had conquered Nanling, as if he was the lord of Nanling.
Ren Tianmin got up and whispered: "Don't be too careless, although we can ignore the imperial court, we can't help but unite with Uncle Tianhui!"
A little red, don't turn your face, a little unhappy, and said: "Why is this, could it be that my Xuzhou soldiers are not as good as the defenders of thousands of Nanling?" (To be continued......)
