Chapter 497
He Wan was born as a businessman and experienced life and death at sea. When Wang Xiao talked about these "colonial" things, he thought more about the wealth that this incident could bring.
He Wan loves not wealth itself. Although he is a concubine's son, he was born in the He family. He had never had enough food, clothing, housing and transportation when he was young. If he only wanted to spend all his life, the money he had in his hands is actually endless. What he loves more is the process of seizing wealth. He sets his sails and waves, masters the fate of others' life and death, and traverses all over the world to conquer the nations. This thing itself can allow him to enjoy a great sense of accomplishment.
In other words, He Wan was not opposed to colonial behavior, but instead...rewarded.
Which genius came up with such a solution? It can actually improve the interests and status of merchants to the extreme.
East India Company... is really a role model for us!
He was excited, but when he looked at Wang Xiao's angry rebuke of "Dirty and Evil" with anger, there seemed to be a light of justice in his eyes, He Wan's excitement was suppressed, and he even felt a little ashamed.
Until the four words "Die a cup of rice" were heard, the heavy token and bright imperial edict were stuffed into his hands... He Wan trembled unconsciously.
Wang Xiao took his expression in his eyes, shook his head and sighed: "The nature of a capitalist."
He Wan has spread the imperial edict.
The above are small regular scripts with a dignified style, graceful temperament, round and elegant, and ups and downs. The middle and ends are covered with square seals of royal edicts and fortune treasures...
"No need to read it, this is fake. I asked He Boyong to write many congratulatory forms for his father and collect his father's handwriting and seals." Wang smiled, "The above content is also simple. In the future, your fleet represents the Marquis of Huaiyuan, the imperial merchant. Well, it is okay to scare others."
He looked calm, as if it was no big deal to fake an imperial edict.
"Originally, it's not difficult to get it real, but I can't handle it for the time being if I'm not in the capital. If I can come back, this fake one will be true; if I can't come back... you can make good use of it yourself. Remember, what is really important is your strength. If you have strong weapons and artillery in the future, even the father will hold his nose and accept it. On the contrary, you will get the true imperial edict and will be slaughtered."
He Wan clasped her fists and said excitedly: "He remembers it."
He thought about it, but asked again: "Marty, but I only have one caravan and my firepower is not strong. It is really important to compete with the Red Beards for share..."
"I know." Wang Xiao raised his hand, and a personal guard came over with a stack of booklets.
Wang Xiao first picked up a book and said, "This is for you... My second brother is in Denglai, but he has money in his hand. You have to buy artillery, guns, sea ships and build maritime power. The prisoners who were carried back in the past two times have been killed by Jiannu, but you can use them as sailors, or let them open fields and grow grain in the Luzon area. This book contains the plan and charts I gave you. If you act according to this, you may become a huge sea bandit like the Zheng family in five years. Our Chu Dynasty has a vast land area. As long as the situation is stable and the court supports it, it is not a problem to surpass European maritime merchants. But... let's talk about it."
He Wan was stunned for a moment, but did not reach out to answer, but just asked, "Mr. Marquis, are you... explaining the funeral?"
Wang Xiao didn't answer, and said to himself: "In addition, this booklet is for the elder brother and second brother. I have actually told them about the development of the industrial park, but I have thought about some things to add these days, and they are all written on it. Remember to remind them from time to time that vigorously developing industries, combining them with your maritime caravans, and transporting raw materials and exporting high-priced commodities is the long-term development plan. Jiaodong is small, and it is at most ripe for two a year to grow grain. Now that the Chu Dynasty is in constant war, it is probably unstable to grow grain in Jiaodong. It is best to build an overseas grain-producing land to raise soldiers... Of course, the specific situation depends on my brothers' adjustment."
"Marty..."
"You ask your second brother to send these letters for me." Wang Xiao said, picking up a few letters.
But this is for Tang Qianqian, Ying'er, Qian Duoduo, Chunning...
"Mr. Marquis." He Wan called out again and said, "Why do you need to go to Chenyang in person?"
"You have been sailing in the sea for many years, and your experience is exchanged for your life. I can't replace you to go out to sea. Similarly, I am the son-in-law of the Chu Dynasty and the Marquis of Huaiyuan of the Chu Dynasty. My father asked me to govern Liaodong, so no one could lead the Guanning Iron Cavalry to attack Chenyang for me." Wang smiled and said: "One person has the responsibility of one person, and one person has the life of one person."
He Wan said, "You and I have met several times, but I can see how many ambitions you have and how much you have thought about the whole country. If you hadn't been thinking about the country, why would you have so many such ideas?! Then don't you want to take us to do it together? One day, our Chu Dynasty will return to its peak. Wherever my Chu Dynasty ships pass, the four barbarians compete to surrender, and no one dares to repel them! Don't the Marquis want to achieve these with your own hands?"
He Wan was excited and said, "I don't want to look at this book to talk about war. The plan cannot keep up with changes. The benefits of the barbarians' strong ships and cannons are not something I can deal with with with a book..."
Wang Xiao frowned slightly.
He Wan felt a little incoherent and stared at Wang Xiao's eyes solemnly and said, "He is stupid, so please ask the marquis to remind you from time to time. Please ask the marquis to take the ship to instruct the war in Liaodong, so there is no need to take risks in person."
"I cherish my life more than you." Wang Xiao said, "Be in charge of command? When dawn, when the Jiannu soldiers and horses arrive everywhere, the Guanning Iron Cavalry will become an isolated army trapped in a siege. How can I command on the ship? This time, it will be impossible not to go. The main force of the Eight Banners enters the Frontier, not only will the people in the Guandi betray again... Tang Zhongyuan is about to march eastward, Xuanfu, and Datong faces its front. Once Jiannu surrounds the capital again, where will the capital be drawn from? By then, the destruction will only take place. I have no choice. Even if Jiannu is more cruel and doesn't even want his own Shengjing City... I dare not even think about this situation. In short, I have to go in person to make it upside down and make the main force of the Eight Banners not return to help."
As he said, he patted the booklet in his hand and sighed: "My second brother just arrived in Shandong, and all the scenery has just begun. If we can't overcome this hurdle, then everything will be over. It's a dead end. Only by not having life can you earn a little chance of life, and you have the possibility of Xu Tu's development."
"Why don't the Marquis think that you can turn the tide only by living?!"
Wang Xiao pointed to Xiping Fort and said with a smile: "There are countless people who have turned the tide. General Luo, who guarded Xiping Fort, and his 3,000 soldiers, have spent their whole life to fight for the country for a year. There are countless people like them in this world. Tomorrow I and these 30,000 cavalry will only become part of these people. If I can't come back, I will see you in the future... Even if you fail, it doesn't matter. Two hundred years or three hundred years, people will always stand up in this family and country."
He Wan was stunned.
He thought Wang Xiao was probably crazy.
He opened his mouth and wanted to say something.
"Shut up! Listen to me, there is not much time left." Wang smiled and said, "If Tang Zhongyuan seized the capital and won the country, there are two possibilities. First, if he can beat Jiannu, he can let our brothers lead you to surrender. But remember, never let him ban the sea. If I don't tell you, you will understand the disadvantages of closing the country. I don't tell you. Regarding this matter, I have a handwritten letter, and ask my brother to give it to Qianqian, and she will help to help. In addition, you must find a way to send Chunning and King Qi overseas..."
"Second, if Tang Zhongyuan still couldn't beat Jiannu, then the situation would be complicated. I'll tell you one by one..."
The Liao River water slapped against the hull, and another layer of ice was formed on the grass nest by the river. 137
In the distance, teams of cavalry returned cheering and joined Xiping Fort.
On the deck, Wang Xiao explained his affairs little by little, but felt his infinite attachment to life.
Finally, before dawn, a loud military trumpet sounded in Xiping Fort.
"Well, Old Man Qin has gotten up." Wang Xiao said as he stood up and patted He Wan's shoulder, "There will be a time later, capitalist."
He Wan stood blankly on the deck, watching Wang Xiao get off the boat and ride on his horse.
"Mr. Marquis, come back alive."
Wang Xiao didn't turn his head, and raised his hand casually and waved it.
"I know, I will pick me up here two months later."
...
The fire suddenly lit up in Xiping Fort.
"Burn all the food and grass that I can't take away!"
A call came from afar...
Then, cavalry lined out one after another and rode their horses across Pingyang Bridge.
The sky light lit up little by little during such a marching journey.
The big ship on the Liao River clumsyly turned over and flowed down to the sea.
Sudden.
"boom!"
The shells flew out of the ship and landed on Pingyang Bridge!
The bridge shook, raised countless smoke and dust, and slowly fell into the water...
On the east bank of the Liao River, 30,000 cavalry turned their heads to look at the ruins on the river surface, and at the Xiping Fort where fireworks soared into the sky, silently.
In the silence, Wang Xiao rode his horse up the hillside, raised his knife and shouted: "I will never return until I go here!"
After a little quiet, the 30,000 cavalry suddenly started to shout, and the sound was surging.
"I wish to fight to the death with the Marquis!"
"We will fight to the death and never retreat!"
"Fight to death! Fight to death..."
...
"Snatch the fuck!"
"Snatched Da Yu'er..."
A sense of pride surged between Wang Xiao's chest. He took a deep breath and was about to say something...
Suddenly, he rubbed his eyes.
In the array, he saw Qin Xuance raising his spear high and shouting with all hissings.
Mother Xipi! How did this kid run off the boat?
...
Thirty thousand iron hooves sprinted to the vast land of the Liaohe Plain.
Qin Xuance was tied with a spear on his back, and between his horse and the military formation, and his heart was filled with excitement.
"Hahaha……"
"I have a vow in my heart that I will make the land sink in China?!"
