Chapter two hundred and seventy-third the disaster

On the busy dock, some coolies were bare-armed and carrying goods larger than theirs on their shoulders, running back and forth.

This is how the men at the dock are. No matter how rich the Southern Tang Dynasty is, there are still poor people.

Moreover, the poor people here are even poorer because the rich have already thought about the ways to make money. The idea of ​​exploiting hard labor has been accumulated and improved over time, which can be said to have achieved the maximum exploitation.

Even so, transporting goods at the dock is not a job that anyone can get.

Groups of foremen are at the dock every day, choosing cattle and horses, and choosing coolies to work for themselves.

Three large ships came from afar. The people rushed up, but after they found the flags on the ship, they scattered again.

This is a ship from Daqi. Everyone knows that they carry their own labor and they all carry things on the ship without unloading the goods.

Xue Liangping stepped down from the deck, looked around and said, "You probably have to stay here for three days. I happen to go to Hangzhou. If you can't get back, you can set off by yourself. I will go back with the next boat."

The man under his command asked, "Boss, where are you going?"

"It's still a question. The girl in Hangzhou is famous for being a sensual spirit. The boss has made a lot of money, so he has to go and have a free time."

"You say this as if you are fart!" Xue Liangping cursed with a smile: "I will go and send something on the order of the marquis."

The subordinate patted his chest and smiled and said, "I dare not let the boss go there in person, I will run for you!"

"This was the marquis who gave himself the order, so I can't be careless." Xue Liangping smiled and said, "I'll just go by myself."

He took a few people out of the dock and took out the Qiantang Chamber of Commerce's road guide from his arms. The guards at the dock suddenly became respectful.

Xue Liangping took back the road and walked out for three or five steps, and turned around and asked, "Do you know Miss Du Luorui?"

"I don't know about this?"

Zhenjiang Prefecture, East Street.

In front of me is a magnificent building. Although it is only three floors, it is more than six meters high. Behind it is a building with flying eaves and brackets above it. The two buildings are more than ten meters apart and are connected in the air by a complex road. Next to it is the Yangtze River Navy Camp, with a magnificent momentum.

A huge stone in front of the door carved the three words "Yuchi Mansion" in a font of more than one person, with cinnabar filled in the characters.

As dusk came, a string of huge lanterns beside the stone was clearly visible. The handwriting on the stone was illuminated by the lanterns, and even in the distance, it could be seen clearly.

The two servants ran out and lay on the ground and kowtowed a few times. They waited for the people in the carriage to get off the car on their backs before getting up and following closely behind.

"General, the governor has been waiting for you for a long time."

"I understand, lead the way."

When you enter inside, you are even more luxurious. A golden lacquer screen stands in the building, with green jade, agate and pearls embedded in flower and bird patterns. A string of lotus lanterns hung on each corner, and the lamps are carved with white jade. Once the lights are reflected, the entire screen is magnificent. Behind the screen is a corridor, with more than a dozen pretty maids standing on both sides.

There is a hall inside the building, with the space supported by sixty-four giant pillars extremely spacious. In such a large hall, there were only two tables. A maid hurriedly put on the cushion. When the person lifted his robe and sat down, he asked, "Are you talking about Chen Shou's people going to Du's mansion?"

Yuchi Xin nodded and said, "That's right, our people followed us all the way and saw clearly. He was holding a box in his hand, and he looked very concerned and didn't leave his hand."

"Where is that person?" The identity of the visitor was obviously higher than that of Yuchi Xin. He was General Huaide of the Southern Tang Dynasty and Zhou Baiqing, who commanded the navy.

Yuchi Xin's face changed a little, and he said in a deep voice: "That is Chen Shou's confidant, it's a bit strange, we didn't catch him."

Zhou Baiqing snorted coldly, and did not continue to pursue the matter, saying, "The two daughters of the Du family are said to be included in the palace by His Majesty on his birthday. The old man is going to be the national uncle, hehe."

"General, this matter..."

Zhou Baiqing stretched out his hand and said, "It's okay, Chen Shou's hands are long enough. He first took food from our Jiangnan, and now even his uncle has contacted him. Do you think the Du family is colluding with Chen Shou or acting as the microphone for Chen Shou and His Majesty?"

"You mean, Chen Shou wants to join forces with His Majesty?"

"If they join forces, what can they do? What else can they like?"

Yuchi Xin sweated on his forehead, "Only our navy."

"It is better to believe that this kind of thing is not trustworthy than that of nothing. If a mistake is made, it is just killing a few people in the Du family. It is no big deal. If it is true, if we don't do anything, we will end up with death."

Zhou Baiqing's face was not good-looking. When the Huai Army was defeated, the entire navy was filled with a sense of hostility.

They both hated Chen Shou and cut off their wealth, and also hated the Huai Army for being too incompetent.

"Now, the government and the people all use our navy as a joke. It's time to kill a few people and shut up."

Yuchi Xin's expression also became sinister. He was the governor of the Zhenjiang Navy and the front pawn, and he was ridiculed the most.

The navy always felt that he was the only barrier in the Southern Tang Dynasty and was above everything else.

Without the navy, how many days can you enjoy this peaceful day with flowers and fire cooking oil?

"This matter cannot be limited to the Du family. It is necessary to completely make things worse, so that His Majesty and Chen Shou have some concerns and dare not be open again."

They were really a little scared. If Emperor Yuhui wanted to get rid of the navy who was too big to lose his head, his only way was to seek help from Daqi.

Because in the world, the one who can pose a threat to the Tang Dynasty navy is probably the Daqi.

Yuchi Xin said: "Okay, then let's plan again."

Huaiyin City, black clouds are overthrowing the city, and large soldiers are on the verge of the territory.

Countless people camped under the city, and the surroundings were already falling. The gentry and nobles in the city had already fled south to Yangzhou Prefecture.

What remains here is a group of abandoned people who have no desire to fight.

This city is too close to Xuzhou, but it is on the edge of Lianghuai, but it is the center of the Lianghuai.

Taking down this city is of great significance, because it is similar to the Bianliang of the Huai Army.

Zhang Zhengyuan felt a little funny. Some people were strong but still buried their heads in development, fearing that they would fall a little bit, such as the Zhongyong Hou; some people were not prepared at all, but when their minds were hot, they would compete for hegemony, such as the Huai Army.

In such an important place in Huaiyin, there were not even a few decent fortress and auxiliary cities, and it was lost so simply when something happened.

If Huaiyin is taken down, the morale of the Huai army will definitely collapse, and the people who surrender in Huaidong will also double.

The Marquis said that he would win the Lianghuai within half a year. At that time, he thought the Marquis was very happy, but now it seems that they are overestimating their opponents.

"Send the order and attack me... and follow me into the city."
