Chapter 13 Jiangnan Changes

"You also read Mencius?"

"The concubine read the Analects when she was young, and Mencius also heard the gentlemen in the palace speak. In the royal family, this is as much a subject as etiquette for every child. ”

"You're saying you have a teacher in Kyoto who specializes in teaching this?"

"How does Master Hou know about Kyoto?" Aiko's eyes widened and she looked at Yun Xiao, since Xu Fu landed in Dongying. For many years, Dongying had little contact with either the Great Qin or the Great Han, although some fishermen or shipwreck survivors knew about it. Great Qin is already yesterday's yellow flower, and the current name of the Central Plains regime is Dahan.

However, the Xu family seems to be secretive about their origins, and they have always refused to come into contact with the Han directly. Therefore, the understanding of Dahan is very limited. Aiko never expected that one of the marquis of the Han Dynasty actually knew everything about Dongying. Even Kyoto in Toei knows this clearly.

"I don't just know about Kyoto, I also know that the cherry blossoms are the most beautiful there. There is also Mt. Fuji, which is covered with snow all year round, and Hokkaido, which is cold. This is Kyushu, and Shikoku is not far away. After the next pass, it is Benzhou, and you know a lot about Benhou. ”

Yun Xiao smiled and told the geography of Dongying that he knew, although it was possible that it was not called this name at that time. But it's okay to bluff people by saying it, as long as Aiko proposes the wrong name. As long as this is the name of our big man, presumably this woman is not wrong.

Aiko's body began to tremble, and he didn't expect that the Han people knew that Dongying had reached this point. Even know the cherry blossoms in Kyoto, and the remote Hokkaido. The four islands of Dongying have been named by Yunxiao, and it seems that the Han people have long coveted Dongying.

"Since you know so much, you must also know who the ancestors of my family are. What are you here for? Could it be that like Emperor Qin, he wants the elixir of immortality? ”

"Hahaha, the first emperor has made great achievements in his life. However, it is inevitable that you will also be deceived by your ancestors, and the delusion is immortality. Just ask the two emperors of Yan and Huang. Yao Shunyu soup they don't want to live forever? Your ancestors call themselves warlocks, and they can refine the elixir of immortality.

But now, are your ancestors still alive? What immortality! What a rejuvenation! You can deceive others with these tricks, but they are still a little worse when used to fool Benhou.

The birth, old age, sickness and death of people contain the ancient truth of eliminating the weak and retaining the strong. If this person really lived forever, he would not have become a goblin. When the time comes, the whole world will be full of people. You let everyone eat and drink. ”

Yun Xiao's questioning dashed Aiko's last glimmer of hope, and he thought of using the elixir of immortality to trick this unpredictable person into taking the poison pill. Even if he was broken into thousands of pieces afterwards, it was better than the entire Dongying fall and the people were displaced.

But Yun Xiao's detachment and calmness about life and death made Aiko's plan stillborn before it began.

"So what do you want? The land here is sparsely populated, and there are often earth dragons turning over. From time to time, the mountains breathe fire, and the sea makes huge waves. What do you want when you come here? ”

Aiko questioned loudly, and at this time she no longer cared about etiquette. She really wanted to know what the barren Dongying could make this Hou Ye Xingshi move the crowd to occupy.

"It's a gem. It is because of the earth dragon turned over. The mountains breathe fire, and the sea roars. You have so much gold and silver here, you may not know it. It's right under the ground beneath our feet. Containing a large amount of gold and silver, the gold and silver in all veins can be described as gold and silver.

Tell me, such a big fortune. How could Ben Hou not be tempted, and how could he not come to crusade against you, the remnants of the previous dynasty. ”

"You've killed so many people for gold and silver?"

"There are only three reasons to start a war, money, money. More money. Because of this gold and silver, you are destined to be crusaded and enslaved. Don't blame me. If you want to blame it, blame your ancestors. Who made him choose such an island for you to live and multiply? According to this, there is a large island comparable to Dongying a few hundred miles to the south, and your ancestors don't want to be obedient to anyone. ”

Everyone in the hall listened to the conversation between the two, and no one dared to interject or want to interject. Even though they have been in Dongying for a few days, these guys have also dug in private. I didn't dig out a bit of gold and silver, and at this time, I didn't prick up my ears to hear the truth when I saw Yunxiao's old things mentioned again.

Hearing that it was true that there was gold and silver here, the generals were so happy that they couldn't keep their mouths shut. The thirst for money tears off the veil of disguise. It exposes people's most primitive desires.

Looking at the bandit-like generals in the hall, Yun Xiao couldn't help but laugh. The gold and silver contained in Dongying are probably more than the gold and silver circulating in the entire Han Dynasty. As long as these gold and silver are in their own hands, it is estimated that there will not be many years. The Han Dynasty will no longer have copper ingots, and this annoying thing exists.

Until then. Only the people who trade can use real money. Aiko looked at the person who was sitting in her husband's seat high up. It feels like this person is a devil, he can know the past and the future, and he can know the one in this world.

"Well, that's not what we're going to discuss. If you don't want your husband to have trouble with the captured soldiers, go to the streets and tell the people of Fukuoka. As soon as you follow my instructions, from today onwards this is the territory of the future. Oh, forget jΓ¬ sue sΓΉ you. The name of this marquis is Yun Xiao, and he is knighted as the Marquis of Lintong of the Han Dynasty. You can call me Yunhou. ”

As soon as Yun Xiao's words fell, suddenly a guard ran in from outside the main hall. This guy was so tired and out of breath that he couldn't speak with his mouth open. Go to the center of the hall and salute, then hand over a piece of letterhead.

Yun Xiao took the letterhead suspiciously, and found that it was sent by Canghu. There are three chicken feathers on the letterhead, and this is an urgent letter. No wonder the guards behaved like this.

"Give him these melons and fruits." Yun Xiao pointed to the melon and fruit in front of the table and said. Immediately a guard came and brought the fruit to the herald.

Yun Xiao unfolded the letter and looked at it carefully, and the more he looked at it, the more solemn his face became.

The third year of Jianyuan was destined to be an unquiet year, and Yun Xiao attacked the city and plundered the land in Dongying. Liu Che was busy fighting with the Dou family for the Han regime in Chang'an.

And far away in the south of the Yangtze River, two small countries are fighting in full swing. After years of recuperation in private, Ou Zhenfu, the king of Donou, finally couldn't bear it. Under the pretext that the soldiers of Minyue crossed the border without authorization, he visited his younger brother Yiniao General Ou Zhenming and led his troops to attack Minyue.

Dongou has raised troops for many years, and Ou Zhenming's soldiers are fierce and belligerent and well-equipped. On the other hand, the Minyue army was poorly equipped and demoralized. As soon as Urai fought, he was defeated by General Itori and his soldiers scattered and fled.

Ou Zhenming took advantage of the victory to pursue, and the army smashed the capital of Fujian and Yue like a bamboo. The king of Minyue, Wuzhu, was forced to ask the Han for help. Hope to get the support of the Great Han to defeat Donou.

After the Han court received the document of Minyue's urgent report, there were many debates between the government and the opposition. There were even cases where courtiers fought with each other during court debates. Liu Che and the Empress Dowager's opinions are to the left, but Liu Che, who has no military talisman, is like a toothless tiger, which makes people seem to be able to shout with anger. But there can be no substantive action.

Canghu's letterhead explained the matter in great detail, it seemed that this guy was in the Great King City, but his ears stretched out. Things in Chang'an. Three days later he would know. In this era when there is no mobile phone and no SMS Weibo, the delivery speed of Canghu is already amazing.

"Take them down to take care of them, and don't embarrass them." Yun Xiao glanced at Aiko who was kneeling below, and commanded the little bear.

"No" Xiaoxiong waved his hand, and naturally a guard escorted them away.

"What happened to Master Hou?" Seeing that Yun Xiao's face was different, Goshawk couldn't help but ask out loud.

"There was chaos in the south, and Dongou and Minyue fought. Min Yue couldn't bear it, so he asked Dahan for help. Our majesty wants to fight, but the empress dowager doesn't want to fight. The two sides are at a stalemate. Presumably Chang'an must be very lively. I heard that there were also two middle doctors beating each other in the court.

It is indeed not easy to force these industrious masters to be rough. I really want to see what kind of scene they were fighting in Weiyang Palace. ”

"Hey, those guys aren't diligent. What can be seen, Hou Ye wants to see Xiao Xiong arrange two wrestling matches for Hou Ye. That's what makes it interesting. ”

"Ben Hou is not in the mood to watch your gang of guys wrestling, and you are familiar with the situation in Jiangnan. Tell me what is going on between Minyue and Donou. ”

As soon as Zhang Nian saw Yun Xiao calling him, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute and replied: "If you go back to the Hou Ye, this Minyue and Dongou are actually the same country. When Gaozu was originally crowned the king of the opposite sex. I felt that the Minyue country was too big, and the king of Minyue was a foreign race, which was difficult to govern.

The Minyue Kingdom was divided into two, and it was named the Dongou Kingdom near Poyang Lake. In the Wuyi Mountains near the sea. It is also called Minyue. Although Minyue and Dongou are originally born from the same root, most of the Minyue people are ancient Min people. The Dongou Kingdom is mostly of the She nationality, although the two ethnic groups used to belong to the same Minyue Kingdom. However, the She ethnic group has a small population and is quite oppressed by the Minyue people.

Sue sΓΉ demarcated the edge of Poyang Lake to let the She people establish a country, in fact, there is also the meaning of using Dongou to contain Minyue. Unexpectedly, after the founding of the She nationality, the Ou family worked hard. In addition, the shore of Poyang Lake is also regarded as the land of fish and rice. In the past few decades, the national strength has risen sharply, and it has surpassed the Minyue country by a lot.

On the other hand, the king of Minyue is cruel and tyrannical, indulgent in drinking and singing, and lascivious. actually included his sisters and sisters in the harem for his own enjoyment. The domestic people's livelihood economy is even more confused, and some good years are just fine. In a disaster year, children and women fill the roadside.

If Dongou attacks Minyue. I can't hold on long if I want to come to Minyue. ”

"The matter of dogs biting dogs, how they are is none of our business. Master Hou don't worry about these irrelevant things, it's true that he should take us to dig out the gold and silver here. ”

The bear was full of gold and silver all over the place, and he was in no mood to bother with anything else.

"Little Bear Ye is not right, the war between the two countries is really related to our family. There is fine iron in Wuyi Mountain, which is an excellent material for forging blades. Moreover, the tea in Wuyi Mountain is also an important source of income for our family. There are also some things such as medicinal herbs, and the annual income of the forest is really not small.

And these things have to pass through the territory of Dongou Kingdom before they can reach the area controlled by our family. If the two countries go to war, our trade routes will be blocked. More importantly, what our family is on the way. In case you are robbed or killed by Dongou or kill our family, my father will definitely not ignore it at that time. ”

"Oh, if that's the case, I'd have to think about what to do." As soon as Xiao Xiong heard that it was related to the interests of the Yun family, he immediately stopped talking. Especially when I heard that there was a kind of fine iron in Wuyi Mountain, I touched it and begged Zhang Nianyi to get some. In the future, I will find a big hammer to hit a peerless treasure knife, and this mace will be used crookedly. It's handed down by my father, and I can't destroy it.

"Yes! It is necessary to think carefully about countermeasures, and the situation in Jiangnan may become more tense when the army is launched. Our family is the richest there, and we also need to guard against the bad ideas of Dongou Kingdom. If they pretend to be bandits, they suddenly want to attack your father.

I can't break the hands here, let alone the father and son soldiers in battle. Nian Yi, you go back to the Great King City and ask Canghu for 3,000 soldiers. It is up to you to take the waterway back to Jiangnan and tell your father to deal with it carefully. There are also people who are sent out to pick up our merchant ships on the way, and they can't let the Dongou people rob them, even if they lose something. You can't be okay with people, you know? ”

"No, read it and understand." When the troops were stretched, Zhang Nianyi was able to take away 3,000 people at once, which shows Yunxiao's importance to Jiangnan.

Historically, it was the Minyue Kingdom that attacked the Dongou Kingdom, and this book was reversed because of the plot needs. Please also ask the officials not to complain. (To be continued......)
