Wei Lian stepped out of the crowd, clasped his hands into fists excitedly, and said: "Your Excellency is so loving, Wei is a liver and brain, and I want to repay your trust." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Huang Hansheng didn't think much about it, he also knew that the master arranged Wei Lianheng to participate in the battle, and he had his own reasons, and he also said at the moment: "Follow the master's arrangement, and everyone will work together to repel the officers and soldiers." ”

The general framework of the battle plan has been set, and weapons and ammunition must also be fully prepared. In the summer, Nan ordered the arsenal to increase its production capacity and reserve sufficient ammunition to ensure the consumption of battleships and convoys during the war.

After the military deployment was completed, Xia Nan felt that with the help of a sea force beyond the times, it was not a big problem to repel the government's large-scale attack this time, and he was not even as nervous as the first time, although the strength of the official army this time was five times that of the first time -- the naval division had not yet been counted.

However, he ignored a problem, the opponent was the governor of Liangguang, and the resources at the disposal of the people's political army were far from comparable to those of a mere Qiongzhou prefect, and the means of dealing with him were far more than military means.

The news that the Governor was going to attack the thief surnamed Xia who was entrenched in Bofu did not take long to spread among the market, and for the ordinary people, there was no direct stake in them, but it was just an after-dinner conversation, and for some people, it was far from being so simple.

Gao Hongtu has reined in a lot since he was attacked by the summer south night, and he has never had trouble with Zhang Mingli again. The handle of the secret communication with the Shaanxi thieves was mastered by Xia Nan, and it was a thorn inserted in his heart, and he wanted to pull it out quickly, otherwise he would be exposed at some point, and he would be destroyed by the government in an instant.

But in the summer, Nanyuan was in Qiongzhou, and no matter how arrogant and domineering he was in Guangzhou, he was just a businessman, after all, he was not a bandit, and there was no way to get rid of the other party by force. However, he has been paying attention to Xia Nan and Zhang Mingli, and he has heard that the recently popular "Tianya Xiang" soju is also Xia Nan's business.

This attack made him feel that he had an opportunity, and immediately used his connections to ask to see the Governor.

However, he did not see Wang Zunde himself in the end, and after spending a lot of money to dredge up, he could only see a confidant named Lu Yizhong next to the governor. As a governor, Wang Zunde has a high position and authority, and has always been known for his simplicity, and he rarely interacts with the wealthy merchants in Guangzhou, and he also looks down on these merchants.

Even if Lu Yizhong was willing to see him, it was only for the sake of the silver. The prime minister's door is a seven-rank official, although he is only a staff member, his status is far better than that of ordinary officials.

When meeting Gao Hongtu, Lu Yizhong only wanted to send the other party away with a few words, which was regarded as giving the other party a face. He didn't believe that such a huge army was marching into the pirates, and a merchant who ran a money bank could have any clever plan to offer, it was better to donate a few thousand taels of silver.

Gao Hongtu didn't know the other party's psychological activities, he told what he knew: "Mr. Lu, the villain has dealt with the Xia thief. This summer thief has opened a lot of shops in Guangzhou, and now the hot soju 'Tianya Xiang' in the city is from him, as well as the Qiongzhou cloth that has been selling well, is also his business. These two major deals are said to make the summer thief make money every day, and if the store is seized, the summer thief will be like being cut off his wings, and he will be defeated. ”

Lu Yizhong's eyes lit up, these two big deals turned out to be Xia thieves!

He bought it in Qiongzhou, and he also drank "Tianya Xiang", all of which were good things, and I heard that he also opened a number of branches in the city, and he made a lot of money. He keenly discovered the opportunity: Yu Gong could cut off the wealth of the summer thieves by sealing the shop, and there would be no financial source for making guns and casting cannons; Privately, if you can handle this matter specifically, you will not be able to take the opportunity to make a fortune when you handle it.

He was itching in his heart, and he couldn't wait to go to the house to seal the store to make a big profit, but he didn't have the heart to listen to it, so he served tea and sent it to the guest: "The high shopkeeper's plan is very good, if the production is adopted, you can cut off the wings of the summer thief." I will speak well for you in front of the table. ”

Gao Hongtu's goal of using the governor's hand to destroy Xia Nan was basically achieved, so he took the opportunity to leave.

Seeing off Gao Hongtu, Lu Yizhong immediately went out to the Governor's Palace. Halfway through, he thought about it for a while, and felt that it was difficult to swallow this benefit alone, and it was too ugly to eat, so he had to pull an ally, so he turned around and went to Li Xijue.

When Li Xijue heard it, he also understood the wonders. If the strategy is adopted by the adults of Taiwan, it will undoubtedly raise his position in the hearts of the adults, and when the store is closed and confiscated, a windfall will naturally not be able to escape. However, Lu Yizhong is willing to share the credit with himself, and he also has to be interesting.

"Brother Lu, the two of us will talk about this plan together, but we must make it clear that it is the news you heard. If the production platform can let us handle the closure of the store, it will naturally be led by you, and I will do my best to help. This shows that the credit allows Lu Yizhong to share more, and the benefits let Lu Yizhong take the lion's share.

Lu Yizhong was very satisfied, but he humbly said: "I can't promote this matter alone, so naturally I have to rely on my brother's help." ”

In the governor's palace, Wang Zunde listened to this plan and praised it with his palms.

"If it is true that the Xia thief made the cannon and cast the cannon, the shop in Guangzhou City must be its main source of wealth, if the store is sealed, it will be the bottom of the kettle, and the summer thief's financial route will be cut off, and the army will definitely succeed!"

Lu and Li echoed: "I see it clearly. ”

"The Great Army Sacrifice Flag is just around the corner, and the matter of sealing the store must be handled immediately. The matter will be co-chaired by the two of you. ”

The two were overjoyed and took the order to leave.

Zhang Mingli also heard the news that the governor was going to send troops to attack Lingao, and the object was his partner Xia Nan, who was worried and wanted to rush to Lingao to inform the other party, but he never expected that he would be the first to suffer.

Before he could leave for Lingao, the shopkeeper came to report that the head office of the cloth shop and the winery had been seized by the government, and it was said that the governor himself ordered it. Both the cloth shop and the winery stockpiled a lot of goods, all of which were sealed, and the running water in the store was also counted and confiscated. Fortunately, the monthly turnover was put forward in time, and a part was left according to the proportion, and the rest was transported to Lingao, and the loss was not too big, but the loss of 20,000 taels could not be avoided.

Zhang Mingli was so anxious that the store was investigated, and there was no warning beforehand, not even time to transfer the flow and goods. However, he immediately thought that someone must have secretly done it and revealed his relationship with Xia Nan to the Governor's Mansion.

The efficiency of the government was surprisingly high, and there was no time for him to react, and then the shopkeepers of the rest of the branches also came one after another, saying that the branches had also been seized.

At this time, Zhang Mingli calmed down instead. He said to the shopkeepers, "Take your men and go to the countryside to take refuge, and wait until the limelight has passed." ”
