Chapter 514: The Four Realms of Han Conquer the Barbarians
At the same time, Zhao Xin, who returned to the cabin, was brushing his teeth and recalling the "story" told by Ye Zhanrong.
The style of the phoenix hairpin was good, and the workmanship could not be imitated by ordinary craftsmen. When he and Shen Xuan were getting married, he checked the jewelry of the princess of the Ming Dynasty. Director Liu Da also found someone to order it.
The result is far worse than the real thing.
So the question now is, what does Ye Zhanrong want to do?
Deng Fei told him that Ye Zhanrong wanted to avenge his eldest son's family. Then what? The longer he stayed in the 18th century, the less Zhao Xin dared to underestimate the ancients. Putting aside the difference in knowledge, he was smart about fighting.
No one is any worse than anyone else.
Zhao Xin still doesn't know how He Shen recognized him during the negotiations at Chaoyin Temple last year. Jiang Fan later said that he had the aura of a domineering king, and he naturally stood out when standing in the crowd, which was different from ordinary people.
Only the turtle exudes the aura of a tortoise! In terms of domineering, Liu Sheng said that he ranks second among the traveling people in Beihai Town, and no one dares to say he is the first.
In fact, in the past six years, Zhao Xin would feel elated every time after leading his troops to victory, and his inner desires would expand each time. However, when he returned to another time and space, the modern environment kept reminding him that he
He is just an ordinary person with some luck, who is lonely and has few friends.
Ye Zhanrong is a businessman. Like Shen Jingdan, maximizing profits is the motivation for them to leave their jobs and take risks. Twenty fishing boats were collected from Hoi An. Such a big movement corresponded to the ships used by the North Korean Navy to attack Hue. Afterwards, Xishan Dynasty
The government will find out once they investigate.
After brushing his teeth, Zhao Xin lay on the bed and looked at the ceiling. Now he assumed that he was really the last king of Zhao, so what should he do after learning about the relationship between the ancestor of the Ye family and Princess Zhao?
The golden hairpin is not a jade certificate. It is useless for confirming identity. The so-called jade certificate is actually a family tree. For those who are ambitious and want to be the emperor, the phoenix hairpin can be regarded as circumstantial evidence; but for Zhao Xin,
It is said that Ye Zhanrong, that old and cunning guy, made a wrong calculation.
For almost a moment, Zhao Xin even had the idea of "killing people and silencing them." But then he felt ridiculous. This was no longer a cover-up. There is no airtight wall in the world. When did he start to regard human life as nothing?
?
Forget it, let him go. Before entering the customs, Beihai Town's system must be clarified, and people can no longer misunderstand it under the banner of Qian Ming.
While thinking wildly, Zhao Xin fell into a deep sleep.
After waking up and having breakfast the next day, Zhao Xin summoned Deng Fei, Wang Yuanfang and Hong Tao for a meeting to discuss the next strategy for Annan.
When Zhao Xinyi came up, he first proposed a solution to get Dong Dang and Lang Son back, and also told what he knew about Nguyen Phuc Anh's situation, and the other three people agreed.
Specifically, on the condition of assisting Nguyen Phuc Anh in Quang Nam to conquer Binh Thuan and Quy Nhon, Bei Hai Town recruited troops in Hoi An, and the sources of troops were found from the Minh Huong Society group. In fact, Binh Thuan and Quy Nhon areas are not currently owned by Nguyen Quang Binh.
It was controlled by his eldest brother Nguyen Wen Yue. The historical "Tay Son Regime" actually refers to the three brothers of the Ruan family. The first emperor of the Tay Son Dynasty was not Nguyen Guang Binh, but Nguyen Wen Yue.
Four years ago, Nguyen Wen-yue was proclaimed the Central Emperor in Quy Nhon, and his second brother Nguyen Wen-lu was named King of Dongding, with jurisdiction over Jiading; his third brother Nguyen Guang-ping was named King of Beiping, stationed in Fuchun. Each of the three brothers occupied a piece of land and governed it in separate areas.
However, not long after, internal strife broke out between Ruan Wenyue and Ruan Guangping. Ruan Wenyue was debauched and cruel, and even the wives and concubines of his third brother Ruan Guangping were not spared. The two sides also tried to divide the spoils in carving up the treasures of Lord Zheng in the north and the land in Guangnan.
They all finally met each other in battle.
Nguyen Van Nguyen could not defeat his younger brother at all, but Nguyen Quang Binh did not continue to attack Quy Nhon fortress because he was his eldest brother. The two sides finally used Ban Jin as the boundary, with the south of Quang Ngai belonging to Nguyen Van Nguyen, sublimation, and the north of Dien Phan belonging to Nguyen Hue.
, each doing their own thing.
In fact, the real culprit of the "Jiading Massacre" was not only Ruan Guangping, but Ruan Wenyue was also one of them.
Zhao Xin finally reminded the three of them: "This army in Hoi An must be in our own hands, and we must not let Ruan Phuc Anh get involved. However, Ruan Phuc Anh's strength is also bad. According to the information, the French have given ships and ships another
He helped train tens of thousands of people, but he actually fought with Er Ruan for several years."
Hong Tao interjected: "This shows that the French in this era are not very good!"
The other three people all laughed after hearing this.
Zhao Xin continued: "As for Luzon and Java, my opinion is to deal with the Dutch in Batavia first, and then the Spanish in Manila. There are two purposes: first, to declare the strength of Beihai Town and let those Westerners
No matter whether you are aboriginal or not, you will no longer dare to take advantage of the Chinese. In addition to a public apology, you must pay compensation!"
"Totally agree!" Hong Tao slapped the table and shouted: "If you don't agree, fire! Bloodbath Batavia and Manila!"
"Haha," Zhao Xin continued: "The second thing is to clarify the ownership of Mindanao, especially the southern part."
Hong Tao blinked and looked at Zhao Xinda: "Prince Zhao, you are not eyeing the gold mine again, are you? Are you done yet? Are you planning to take over all the big gold mines in the world?
"
Zhao Xin smiled bitterly and said: "Doctor Hong, do you know how much our steel plant in Khabarovsk costs? Eight tons of gold, at least! What's more, the area under the jurisdiction of Beihai Town is not rich in copper mines. The copper mine on Mindanao Island
But it’s ranked sixth in the world and first in Asia!”
"Okay, you succeeded in convincing me again." Hong Tao spread his hands and shook his head helplessly.
Deng Fei said at this time: "Is there anything else besides these? I remember you said you wanted to cause trouble for the British?"
"Yes. Thank you for reminding me, I almost forgot to say it." Zhao Xindao: "After you are done with Luzon, if you still have energy, you can stop by and visit the East India Company in Bangladesh. If there are more opium transporters to Guangzhou
, as long as they are British merchant ships, we will see one ship sinking and the other sinking."
Wang Yuanfang and Deng Fei looked at each other and smiled bitterly: "You really think of us as donkeys! I estimate that this trip will not be completed in a few months."
"I really want to trade with you. How about you go to Siberia?"
"No! The south is great, but you are the worst at Russian among us, and I am not."
"That's right." Zhao Xin said to Deng Fei again: "Old Deng, you are strong in French, so you can deal with the French people on Ruan Phuc Anh's side. Be careful of that priest named Peter. Catholicism has stretched its hand too far in Annan, Ruan Phuc Anh.
The treaty signed with the French government was brokered by him. What was ceded in it were Hoi An and Con Dao. Both of these are currently under our control, especially Con Dao, which is the closest to Malacca. I am considering using it as a north-south route in the future.
The last link."
"North-South route?" Hong Tao asked: "Are you planning to go directly to Beihai Town?"
"Yes, it was like this before entering the customs." Zhao Xin said and drew a schematic diagram on the whiteboard on the wall. "Beihai Town, Jeju Island, Southern Kyushu, Xiando Islands, Luzon, Hoi An, Conlun Island
, Malacca, Batavia, Mindanao.”
"Good guy," Hong Tao joked, "You are so ambitious! You might as well occupy Australia and go straight to Antarctica."
"Stop it, this is not something to consider in the eighteenth century. Besides..."
Just as Zhao Xin was about to continue speaking, there was a sudden knock on the door of the conference room, and then a confidential officer from the Thor hurriedly walked in and handed a telegram into Zhao Xin's hand. Zhao Xin opened it and frowned.
He wrinkled slightly, but then his expression returned to normal.
Deng Fei asked: "Is there a situation?"
"No. Little things."
Zhao Xin did not say the content of the telegram, but put the message paper into his trouser pocket, then tapped the whiteboard with the pen in his hand and continued: "Now Guangdong has more people and less land, and the people are having a hard time, forcing them to go to sea to make a living.
To keep it a secret, except for the three of you, only a few people know about this. The inventory of silver ingots in Beihai Town now exceeds three million taels."
Deng Fei, Wang Yuanfang and Hong Tao were surprised: "So much! Did your father-in-law earn it from the Manchus?"
Zhao Xin rolled his eyes and said: "The profits of the Ministry of Trade are not that high. Some of this silver is a by-product of gold mining, and it is also captured on the battlefield. Finally, it is purified from the bean plate silver extracted from the island country using North Sea coins.
.I have calculated that if all of them were minted into Bei Hai Yuan, it would be a little over 3.67 million."
Hong Tao suddenly pointed at Zhao Xinda and said: "Oh~~! I remember, when you created new money, you said you would use our money to arbitrage the island country's silver. How long have you been doing this?"
Zhao Xin nodded and smiled: "More than two years."
"Haha, why do I feel so happy?!" Hong Tao punched the table twice happily, and then asked: "How much did you earn?"
"As of the end of last month, there were eight hundred and eighty-three thousand and one taels. Both gold and silver."
In fact, during the few years that Pingtai was in the island country, Zhao Xin, in addition to asking him to cut off the "Eternal Line" step by step and collect intelligence on the shogunate and various vassals, his main job was to open up the business circles of Osaka, Nagasaki and Kyoto with the Hokkai coins.
Large-amount exchange channels in China.
Since the armistice agreement signed between Hokkai Town and the shogunate the year before last, a large number of Hokkai dollars and coins have openly flowed into the island country from Sendai Domain and Minami Kyushu. In order to obtain the silver and gold coins on the island country market, Hokkai Town even minted "cent coins"
It came out; a 50-cent coin is equivalent to 2 soybeans in the island country, and a 5-cent coin is equivalent to 2 cents of silver.
Because Haizhen’s coinage materials include copper-aluminum alloy for dimes and aluminum-magnesium alloy for cents, they look shiny. In addition, copper-aluminum alloys will turn black due to oxidation, which makes many islanders think that Beihai Town’s coins are made of copper-aluminum alloy.
Silver coins contain silver.
Zhao Xin finally told the three of them: "After you arrive in Hoi'an, ask Ye Chengxiang to take Zheng Lianchang's people to Siam to buy thirty more Guangdong ships with thousands of materials. Let's set up another 'Nanhai Trading Company'. We will occupy
51%, and let Zheng Lianchang and the Ye family participate in the rest. From now on, we will send people from Guangdong to Nanyang for free. In addition to farming, we will also open rubber farms as soon as possible, and then transport Nanyang products to Hoi An or Ryukyu."
Deng Fei nodded in approval: "I agree! No one can be faster than our fleet of motor boats and transport more cargo. When the clipper ships are built next year, Beihai Town will have the final say in sea trade throughout Southeast Asia!"
This closed-door meeting, which will determine the situation in South Asia for more than a hundred years in the future, lasted from morning to noon. The fate of countless people was rewritten in this conference room on the Thor, including the families of He Xiwen and Ye Zhanrong.
.
"What? King Zhao is gone!"
In the evening, Ye Zhanrong and his son boarded the Thor again to ask for an audience with Zhao Xin, but were told by Deng Fei that "King Zhao" had already left by boat in the afternoon.
Looking at the disappointed expressions of the Ye family and his son, Deng Fei felt a little funny, but he still said seriously: "Just in time, I also have something to ask you two for help. The thing is like this..."
When Ye Zhanrong, who had plans, listened to the three things about recruiting soldiers, buying ships and "Nanhai Trading Company", his heart finally fell into his stomach. Now he finally embraced Beihai Town, and the prosperity of his family business was just around the corner.
Another day later, when He Xiwen completed the "scraping three feet" operation of the Royal Palace in Hue, the joint fleet of the Northern Navy and He Xiwen departed from Hue and headed south. Their next stop was Hoi An.
Vu Van Dung, Nguyen Van Hoa and others who retreated to Xiangxiang County received news from the sentinels and confirmed that the Northern Navy had left, and then they impatiently sent troops northward. However, what awaited them was the palace that had been looted by the pirates to the last hair.
...
At dusk, in the hospital located on the west side of the central square of Beihai Town, a graceful girl carefully carried a three-layer "Baobao embedded" food box to the door of a room. She lightly touched the door.
After knocking twice, I heard someone in the room say: "Come in."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The girl opened the door and walked into the house. She saw the man sitting on the bed leaning against the bed, holding a thick book in his hand and spreading it on the quilt. The girl frowned
She frowned slightly, then said softly, "Miss Wang, I've brought you dinner."
Wang Zhenyi, who was on the hospital bed, smiled and said, "Miss A Miao, thank Madam for my trouble."
A Miao walked straight to the bed, placed the food box on the small table, picked up a folding wooden table from the side, opened it and placed it in front of Wang Zhenyi, and then took out the contents of the food box one by one.
"This is river fish sent from Khabarovsk. The meat is the most tender in winter. The teacher said, Miss Wang, you can't eat greasy fish, but you can eat more fish. This is yuba mixed with celery, and this is steamed with crab legs.
Egg custard, this is multigrain porridge..."
The "teacher" in A Miao's mouth is Hong Tao's wife, Director Liu Da. A few years ago, A Miao worked as an apprentice with Liu Siting for two years. As a result, the little girl became a little depressed because she often couldn't see Zhao Xin. Zhao Xin looked a little depressed at the time.
I felt distressed, so I asked A Miao to stop being a nurse, and then she stayed with her.
Wang Zhenyi was a bit big-headed. She looked at the small table full of food and smiled bitterly: "How can I eat so much? Why don't you eat with me?"
A Miao smiled and said: "I ate everything before I came out. You should eat some of everything. The teacher said you should supplement your nutrition and get enough rest, so that you can recover quickly."
After she finished speaking, she hesitated for a moment, then plucked up her courage and said, "Miss Wang, don't be angry about something. I, I sent him a telegram the day before yesterday."
When Wang Zhenyi heard this, her hand holding the porridge bowl paused for a moment. She turned her head and looked out the window. From the gap between the curtains and the window, all she could see was the whistling heavy snow in the sky. She revealed a wry smile and murmured: "
It's too far away, even if he knew it, he wouldn't be able to come back."
A Miao blinked after hearing this, thinking that you really don’t understand him!
After Wang Zhenyi slowly drank half a bowl of porridge and took a few bites of vegetables, she couldn't eat anymore. A Miao lost her temper, so she had to put the things away and chatted with her. The content mainly revolved around Zhao
new son.
"...A few days ago, Miss Tang came over to teach me about female beauty. When she walked in, Momo happened to see her. Okay, he walked over unsteadily, hugged Miss Tang's legs, just, haha
Haha~~~"
Wang Zhenyi asked curiously: "What's going on? You should tell me."
A Miao covered her mouth and said: "He hugged Miss Tang's legs and called her mother, which made Miss Tang so embarrassed. Madam also angrily called him a white-eyed wolf, but Momo actually grinned and giggled. I was so happy.
Already."
Wang Zhenyi smiled with her lips pursed after hearing this, but then she felt sad in her heart. When she was hospitalized due to exhaustion, Wu Xianning checked her carefully and told her to take good care of herself this time, otherwise even if she gets married in the future, her child will probably die.
Very difficult.
Wang Zhenyi had practiced medicine with her father Wang Xichen for many years, and she knew some medical skills. When she found out what kind of disease she had, she realized that Wu Xianning's words were just comfort.
Ever since she had a physical relationship with that person on that snowy day at the beach, Wang Zhenyi even thought that after she studied with Lao You for two more years, she would get married, raise a husband and raise children, and even accept her as a concubine. But now
This disease makes all wishes come true...
At 8 o'clock in the evening, A Miao went back. Just as Wang Zhenyi continued to read for a while, the nurse outside turned off the light. In desperation, Wang Zhenyi had no choice but to lie on the bed and think about it, including mathematics and riding a horse.
Outside the fortress, there was a scene of shooting a horizontal halberd from a corner, and the figure of that person flashed in the background.
At this time, in the study room of Wu Xianning's home, Zhao Xin, who had just come back to Beihai Town, asked eagerly: "What is her disease?"
"Congenital heart disease." Wu Xianning heard this word from Liu Siting. "I'm afraid that in the future, my descendants will..."
After he finished speaking, he glanced at Zhao Xin. As a relative of Shen Xuan's adoptive mother, Wu Xianning thought that in the past two years, there had been rumors that King Zhao and Wang Zhenyi had something to do with each other. Today, it seems that it is indeed the case.
The problem is that concubines are not allowed in Beihai Town, but this is a rule set by King Zhao himself. I want to see what you do. If you really want to find an outhouse, your colleague, Wang Xichen, who is in charge of the imaging department, will definitely hunt you down all over the world. .
Zhao Xin left the Wu family expressionlessly and returned to his home despite the heavy snow. His sudden appearance surprised everyone in the family except A Miao. He accompanied his parents. After talking for a while and teasing for a long time, Zhao Xin felt a little hungry now that he no longer recognized his son.
While eating, Shen Xuan, who was sitting next to her, suddenly whispered, "Miss Wang is sick. You'd better take the time to check on her tomorrow."
Zhao Xin's heart skipped a beat and he glanced sideways at Shen Xuan. When he saw the other person's face was calm, he replied "Oh."
