Section 0474 Three or five days of trust
The ships that have been prepared at the Guangzhou wharf for a long time, Feng Ang has many small sea boats, these ships cannot go to the far sea, that is, they are active in the Lingnan coast, and the boats at this time are all hard-sailed flat-bottomed boats, and the fastest downwind can reach a speed of almost 30 kilometers per hour, and the crosswind can also reach about 24.
The place where Liu Mu is going is already going abroad in the modern age of later generations.
Ha Long Bay.
A little further east from here is the Feng Ang logistics base, relying on this port Feng Ang can transport supplies and troops to his own territory. At this time, it was called Vu An Chau, and that wharf was later called Hai Phong City in modern times.
And the willow wood took Dugu Lan to go to Ha Long Bay.
Liu Mu believes that the scenery of Halong Bay at this time will definitely not be worse than it was 1,400 years later.
After only three days and three nights, Liu Mu's boat had arrived at Ha Long Bay, leaving two boats here for Dugu Lanruo to play, and Liu Mu went to Jiaozhou City, which is the location in the northeast of modern Hanoi City.
There are already 20,000 soldiers here.
The Xian family and the chief of the Nong clan transferred 5,000 soldiers, the patriarch of the building brought 3,000 Miao soldiers, and the Ning and Chen families each gathered 2,000 people. Feng An's five thousand elites are still on the way, and the rest of the families are also gathering support here.
Aizhou is the stronghold of the Wen family, and the Wen family is unwilling to admit defeat.
There is also a big city between Jiaozhou City and Aizhou, called Changzhou City, and the leader of this city is in a dilemma at this time, he does not dare to fight, so he can only choose to surrender to one side.
Feng Ang had already sent someone over to exert pressure.
Liu Mu arrived, and Feng Ang greeted him outside the city.
"Brother, you can't fight. At least not in a hurry. As soon as Liu Mu saw Feng An, he said anxiously: "I am a layman in the marching battle, but it is good not to be in a hurry to fight, we set up a business to make money, and if the guards of the business are killed and injured too much at the beginning, it will lose people's hearts." If too many people are killed here, there will be resentment among the people. ”
Feng Ang didn't respond urgently, but welcomed Liu Mu into the city first.
After sitting down, Feng Ang asked Liu Mu: "It's your opinion to fight, and it's also your opinion to say whether to fight or not now." Here are just you and me, you have to give me an explanation. ”
"Don't worry, give me three days."
"Okay, I'll give you three days." Feng Ang is not in a hurry to fight in the past few days, it will take some time to transfer troops and horses, transport grain and grass, etc., so Liu Mu will not say that it will take three days, it will be no problem if it is five days.
There are people from Liumu here, and Liumu has made Li Junxian find two hundred guides.
"Take our people into the mountains, the grass, fruits, grass roots, and flowers that we have never seen here. It's best to let the locals take us to find the agarwood tree. Hurry up and go, whatever you find within three days you must come back. ”
Liu Mu only knows that there seems to be only one variety of agarwood in China, but there are many in South Asia.
Li Junxian wrote down Liu Mu's request, took 2,000 people, and divided into 50 teams with 200 guides from Jiaozhou City to the northwest, west, and southwest.
Feng Ang saw that Liu Mu had taken action, and found Liu Mu: "Don't say three days, it's okay to have a good word in five days." You don't know Aizhou, less than fifty miles southwest of Aizhou, there is a mountain forest, where there are countless small dragon incense trees. We don't destroy the forest, even if we only scrape the dragon incense, we can scrape out thousands of catties. ”
Feng An's attitude was very clear, these thousands of catties of spices were worth at least tens of thousands of dollars when they were brought back to Chang'an.
Liu Mu said: "Old brother, it takes about twenty days for a boat to go from here to Chang'an, from sea to Hangzhou, and then go upstream, how can it take forty or fifty days to get to Chang'an, just to pull thousands of catties of spices, and how dangerous the sea is, these tens of thousands of dollars of spices are placed on one boat." ”
Feng Ang thought for a while: "It seems reasonable, this sea is not very safe, who knew that the gust of wind could destroy the ship." ”
That's what he said, so when I went north, I was ten or twenty boats at a time, and the valuables were scattered. In case that ship sinks, it's not a big loss, right? The cost of a boat, not counting the wood, is 500 yuan, and the wood and sails are a few hundred yuan. ”
"Yes! Right. It's just that what are twenty boats loading? ”
"It's not in a hurry, send someone to find it first, I guess there are good things. My brother asked me to give you an explanation, but I know that many businessmen have followed you here to wait for a fortune, three days, we will make a fortune, and then slowly clean up his Wenjing. ”
"Okay."
Since this place can start making money, Feng Ang is not in a hurry to storm Aizhou, he can slowly try to do it.
Let's talk about Chang'an.
Li Shimin personally searched for four days in Qin Qiong Mountain, and finally found Xue Wanche.
After another day of hard persuasion, Li Shimin persuaded Xue Wanche to put down his weapon and walk out, and then brought him back to Chang'an.
Tai Chi Temple.
Li Yuan, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, who had locked himself up for twenty days, left the palace for the first time. Xue Wanche knelt down in front of Li Yuan and wept bitterly, Li Yuan gently patted Xue Wanche's head: "Get up, I don't intend to blame you." But if you are not punished, it will be difficult to convince the public, and you will be demoted to the rank of captain of the forbidden army, and you will be guarded by the gate of heaven. ”
Xue Wanche knelt on the ground and just cried bitterly.
Li Yuan didn't care about Xue Wanche anymore, he knew Xue Wanche, he was simple-minded, too simple, and had clear grievances. Of course, Li Jiancheng has a life-saving grace for him, so he remembers to repay the favor, but he doesn't know how to distinguish between right and wrong.
The next day was June 18.
This was the first time that Li Yuan participated in the court meeting after a full month of Li Jiancheng's rebellion.
Under the deliberate arrangement of several important ministers, all the courtiers knew about the events of May 18 or not, and put aside those bad seals for the time being, and all they took out was good news.
"Sage, Jiangnan Dongdao ......" a waiter in the household department reported a good news, Jiangnan Dongdao planted 100,000 acres of mulberry forest, is expected to increase the output of 5,000 quintals of high-quality raw silk for Datang next year, the growth of mulberry trees in the next year, will increase every year, and will reach its peak in five years.
This is good news, Li Yuan, who was sitting on the throne, suddenly stood up.
This action made the entire Taiji Hall instantly quiet.
I saw Li Yuan stretch out his hand and sweep all the things on the entire imperial case in front of him to the ground, and then raised his leg to kick the imperial case, the case was very big and heavy, Li Yuan kicked it without kicking, took out the knife and slashed it heavily on the imperial case, and the knife was stuck between the wood.
No one dared to persuade them, and the petty officials didn't know why the Tang Emperor was so angry.
But the ministers did not know how to persuade them.
The Tang Emperor Li Yuan suppressed his emotions for a month and vented them at this time, Li Yuan sat on the throne panting, except for Li Yuan, the rest of the people in the entire Taiji Hall did not even dare to come out, and Li Shimin was the same.
"Why did Wei Zheng go from prison to prison?" Li Yuan suddenly spoke.
Liu Zhenghui, the secretary of the Criminal Department, stepped forward, but before he could speak, Li Shimin took the lead and said: "Father, this is the meaning of the son, if the father wants to punish the son, he is willing to accept the punishment." ”
