Chapter 200 Return of the Fleet

"The Qingyiwei is really powerful!"

Li Changxian and Zhang Kewen talked about the Lingnan Prefecture's lockdown and encirclement in the county government. The Qingyiwei dispatched three seventh-grade masters to lead many Qingyiwei, and cooperated with the Lingnan Prefecture's officers and soldiers to kill nearly 2,000 people, which made all those who hated the rebels very happy.

Although all the infiltrating rebels were not arrested, they severely attacked the rebels lurking to Lingnan Prefecture, making them unable to attack Lingnan Prefecture for a while.

Moreover, the culprit of this incident was sitting in the Wanling County Government Office, drinking tea happily, and making a fuss about the rebels' casualties. If Wu Damazi knew about it, he would probably be so angry that he would be half-irritated.

But no one expected that Li Changxian was causing trouble. Even if someone suspected Li Changxian, he could not find any flaws. Even Wu Damazi thought that their people were exposed in Lingnan Prefecture, or that the rebels were infiltrated by the Qingyiwei.

"The encirclement and suppression of Lingnan Prefecture has also reduced some pressure, but don't take it lightly. It is said that many rebels have fled, hiding around Lingnan Prefecture. Maybe someone will escape to us."

Zhang Kewen analyzed Li Changxian and reminded that the more than 2,000 people killed this time were probably only a small number of rebels lurking in, and many others were not caught.

"I have already talked to Abuda and the others about this matter. In the past few days, I have increased my troops on the road from Lingnan Prefecture to Wanling County."

"Oh, how are the influx of refugees now?"

Li Changxian thought about it and then asked: "Where are the rebels who retreated from Shanzhou City now?"

Zhang Kewen frowned slightly and said, "After this time the rebels made a fuss in Lingnan Prefecture, many Lingnan people also fled to Wanling County. In addition, the refugees who fled, the county government is under great pressure, so many tribes connecting to the refugees also complained a little.

As for the rebels who retreated from Shanzhou City, according to the official residence report, although many county governments organized officers and soldiers to resist along the way, the effect was not great. Moreover, the number of rebels was large and fierce, and many county towns had been massacred.

I'm afraid that the rebels will arrive at Lingnan Prefecture in not long after."

"Is there any abnormal movement among the people of Shiguo?"

Li Changxian asked the people of Shi again. In Li Changxian's opinion, the threat from Shi people in the south brought greater pressure to Wanling County. After all, there is a natural barrier of Lingnan Prefecture in the north of Wanling County, which can somewhat prevent the rebels from moving south. However, Shi people are like psoriasis, which always makes people feel uncomfortable behind them.

Zhang Kewen thought for a while and said, "According to the information sent by Ma You and the others, the Shi people just gathered their teams and did not immediately invade the Great Jin Dynasty."

Li Changxian sighed and said, "The people of Shiguo are not all fools. It seems that they will only take action after seeing us fight against the rebels."

"Yes, Shi Guoren and Wu Damazi are not easy people!" Zhang Kewen nodded and agreed with Li Changxian's point of view.

At this time, Li Zhu walked in from outside and said happily: "Young Master, the people who went to Nanyang are back!"

Li Changxian and Zhang Kewen were both overjoyed when they heard this, and hurriedly stood up and asked, "Where have they been?"

Li Zhu suddenly said in a daze and said, "Young Master, I just heard that someone from the south came to the county government to report the message, but before I could ask in detail, I reported to you."

"If you say that, it will take several days to come back!"

Li Changxian and Zhang Kewen sat down slowly again and were not so excited. Even though the roads in the southern part of Wanling County were almost completed, it would take two or three days for so many people to come to the county town.

However, this is already good news among many bad news. Not only Li Changxian and Zhang Kewen are happy, but even the entire Wanling County people will be excited and encouraged.

After a while, he saw He Yue coming over from the front hall of the county government office with a smile.

Before entering the door, He Yue said loudly: "Good news, great news, the fleet that went to Nanyang is back!"

But when he saw Li Changxian and Zhang Kewen sitting on the chair without moving at all, he had no sign of surprise, but instead looked at him with a smile.

Have they already received news from the fleet? After He Yue entered the door with doubts, he found Li Zhu standing behind the door, and then suddenly realized that it was Li Zhu who had already informed Li Changxian and Zhang Kewen.

But this did not affect He Yue's good mood at this time, and then he told the news of the arrival of the fleet again.

"I heard from the people who sent the letter that this time I went to Southeast Asia to gain a lot of rewards, but the person who sent the letter could not express the specific amount of harvest. He only knew that the jewelry and spices that were transported by many ships were all hot-selling things in the market of the Jin Dynasty."

Both Li Changxian and Zhang Kewen knew that as long as the fleet could return safely from Nanyang, it would inevitably make a lot of profits. If millions of things were shipped out, they would get a profit of millions of taels or more after they came back.

Li Changxian said with a smile: "Should you wait for two more days. I guess the person who came back is already on the way at this time."

Sure enough, at noon on the third day, a large number of carriages and horses filled with cargo rushed into Wanling County, and then drove into the military camp according to Li Changxian's wishes. First, there were many people in Wanling County, and they were afraid that many refugees would temporarily have any bad intentions about the goods they were transported.

On the other hand, there are more than 10,000 people in the military camp training, and even if there are people who want to rob, they dare not go to the military camp at this time.

Li Changxian has met many acquaintances one after another, such as people from tribes such as Adeba and Abdul, as well as many local businessmen who have returned from overseas.

Although each of them looked much darker than before, they were all energetic and smiled on the faces of every returning person.

"Thank you for your hard work!"

Li Changxian and all the officials from Wanling County Government stood at the gate of the military camp and warmly welcomed those who returned to Nanyang.

Adeba and others who walked in front all laughed and said, "It's not hard, it's really not hard!"

Although it is not hard, everyone knows that going to the South China countries to do maritime trade is not smooth. On the contrary, the future is extremely difficult and dangerous. The fleet not only faces pirates and strong winds and waves, but also trades with local indigenous people in the face of a lack of fresh water and food, and may encounter more dangers.

It is already very lucky that the fleet was not damaged by typhoons in the sea. As for the fact that some crew members and soldiers were not adapted to the sea environment, death was inevitable.

But Adeba and others did not say that they were blinded by the huge gains of this trip to Southeast Asia, and forgot about the dangerous sea life and various potential risks on land.

Adeba and others did not say that Li Changxian and all the county government officials were unwilling to mention these things. They all wanted to take advantage of the surprise of the fleet's return to make the haze brought about by the large influx of refugees during this period to a certain extent.

"The curfew is temporarily lifted, and welcoming the return warriors together in the military camp!"

Li Changxian ignored the dissuasion of He Yue and others and directly announced that Wanling County would lift the curfew in the past two days, intending to let all Wanling County people feel this exciting moment.
