Chapter 277: Bad News
Seeing Zhang Yingying again, she seems to be more beautiful, she looks a lot plumper because of pregnancy, but it adds a different style. Li Jing looked at Zhang Yingying's slightly bulging abdomen with some daze, calculating the time, the golden wind and jade dew of the last year, a few degrees of plum blossoms, she was still a virgin at that time. After more than four months, her belly has bulged and she is pregnant, and after thinking about it, Li Jing feels that this child is very likely to be herself.
The two plots of land at home are deeply cultivated and cultivated, carefully served, and worked hard, but there has been no movement until now. How could I have an accident with Zhang Yingying, but I had a big belly.
"This kid is mine, isn't it?" Li Jing looked at Zhang Yingying and asked with a smile.
Zhang Yingying looked at Li Jing quietly, her face was full of tenderness, she was the queen of the sea on weekdays, and thousands of people under her command followed her. She was desperate for fear that something would go wrong. When she faced Li Jing, she suddenly felt like a woman, but she let go of everything she was carrying.
She suddenly laughed, but tears flowed as she laughed, and threw herself into Li Jing's arms.
The guards next to them were dumbfounded, they never imagined that the queen of the sea, who had just led them to capture Qinghai Town, would have such a childish side.
I have a son, and I'm going to be a father.
Li Jing was also full of excitement at this time, and this sudden surprise made him a little uncontrollable excited. and Gui Niangwan'er have not moved for so long, and he even thinks that for some reason, he may have lost the function of having a son. Unexpectedly, he suddenly learned that he already had a son, and in a few months. He's going to be a father.
Night.
The moon rises in the sea. The end of the world is at this time.
Reunion after a long absence. A couple snuggled up to each other.
Zhang Yingying completely relaxed herself, buried herself in Li Jing's broad chest, Li Jing's arms spread out around Zhang Yingying's shoulders, and untied her cloak and draped it on her body.
"Why did you leave and never contact me again?" Li Jing looked at her softly and said, "I wanted to look for you several times, but I didn't know how to contact you." I thought it was just a meeting between Apple and Water, and then I forgot about it. ”
Zhang Yingying arched in Li Jing's arms and found a more comfortable position. He said softly: "You are the best man I have ever seen, it is not an exaggeration to say that I fell in love at first sight, when I was most in danger, you suddenly appeared, like a divine soldier descending from the sky." That night gave me memories that I will never forget. It's not that I don't want to see you, but I don't dare to see you. ”
"For what?"
"Because I was burdened with a deep blood feud, my father was bent on Silla, but in the end, because he was involved in the royal battle, he ended up being falsely accused of being a traitor and died. My father died. The king of Silla still won't let us go, my two elder brothers. There were also many subordinates and their families, and countless people died tragically. If this revenge is not avenged, how can I only think about the personal affairs of my children? ”
Li Jing hugged her tighter, "Now I can help you take revenge together, and now, I have this strength." ”
Zhang Yingying raised her head, looked at Li Jing and said seriously, "Are you really willing to help me?" ”
"Of course, you are now my son's mother, I won't help you help anyone." Li Jing chuckled.
As the night darkened, a couple began to recount their experiences after separation.
"What, you led your troops to capture Qinghai Town?" After Li Jing heard about the separation, Zhang Yingying took advantage of the uprising of the Red Pants Peasant Army that broke out in Silla to recruit troops and horses, and was quite surprised to raid and capture Cheonghae Town last month. Calculated, the time when he took Da Xie Yan happened to be the time when Zhang Yingying took Qinghai Town, and there was really such a coincidence.
"I have now set up a banner, Qinghai Town now has 10,000 soldiers, horses, dozens of warships, and people continue to cross the sea to vote, and we have a population of more than 100,000. Moreover, we have defeated three consecutive crusades of the Silla official army, but we have also suffered a lot of damage in several consecutive battles. This time I came to Liaohai, in fact, I came to look for you. ”
Zhang Yingying said slowly: "When I was in Silla, I always heard that there was a young general named Li Jing in Dengzhou recently, which is very good. At first, I only thought it was a person with the same name and surname as you, but then I heard that after you defeated Fengzhang and defeated Duli Town, I sent it to investigate, only to know that this brave general was you. I'm here to ask you for help. ”
"Your business is my business, just say it if you need it, why bother?"
"Although we have defeated the invading officers and soldiers three times, not only the loss of ordnance is extremely heavy, so I would like to buy some ordnance from you." Although Zhang Yingying crisscrossed the sea, she originally had thousands of armed guards and accumulated a lot of ordnance. However, it used to be only at sea, but now it is at war with the Silla Dynasty, which is extremely expensive, and with the new recruits of soldiers and horses, the original armament is insufficient.
Originally, she wanted to trade with Feng Zhang, but when she heard that Feng Zhang and his subordinates were defeated and died, she learned that it was Li Jing who killed Feng Zhang. Therefore, she took the risk to come to Liaohai in person.
Li Jing pondered for a moment and said, "It's not a big problem to give you weapons, but you only have 10,000 people, and most of them are newly recruited, can you hold on to the war with the entire Silla now?" I think you might as well lead your troops to come to my Shamen Town, I now control the entire Da Xie Yan, and there is still more than enough to accommodate you. And now that you're pregnant, don't venture out again. ”
Zhang Yingying refused, "No, this is not my business alone, but the matter of tens of thousands of brothers and more than 100,000 people who have defected to us in the entire Qinghai Town." I can't leave them behind, I hope you understand. ”
"I understand, but what about our children?"
"This child is yours, but it's mine. You already have a wife and concubine, so I will keep this child by my side to raise it, and when he grows up, he will be the new king of the sea, and he will inherit Qinghai Town. So, if you help me now, you're also helping your own son. ”
Li Jing persuaded for a while, and finally understood that it was hopeless. Zhang Yingying is not an ordinary woman, in fact, a resistance organization that was gradually dissipating was able to re-energize, and in one fell swoop counterattacked and captured the town of Qinghai, which her father once run, recruiting troops and horses, and gathering 10,000 soldiers. How could such a woman be an ordinary woman. I want her to follow her back to Shamen Town. Green bricks and green tiles. It is too unrealistic to be his concubine in the courtyard of the deep mansion and raise the children with peace of mind.
In the end, Li Jing still agreed to Zhang Yingying's request, she wanted to leave the child behind, anyway, it was her son who stayed. He didn't refuse the ordnance matter, there was already a trade in weapons in Shamen Town, and whoever sold it was not sold. And she is the mother who sold it to her son, and there is nothing to say.
After some discussion, the two finally agreed that Li Jing would sell 5,000 spears and 5,000 horizontal knives, plus 3,000 bows, 1,000 crossbows, and 3,000 shields to Qinghai Town. Plus 1,000 iron armor, 3,000 leather armor, and 10,000 skulls. In addition, there were three hundred heavy crossbows. A hundred throwing cannons, and a million feathered arrows. 100,000 rounds of crossbow nails. Even the Shenhuo, a specialty of Shamen Town, Qinghai Town also purchased five hundred altars.
Of course, these things can't be given away for free, even if it's for their son's mother. Relationship is relationship, and buying and selling is buying and selling.
However, Qinghai Town has money, and the caravan led by Zhang Yingying over the years is the largest caravan in the entire Three Seas, and their trade covers more than a dozen countries, and there is a lot of money. For this batch of ordnance, Zhang Yingying directly offered a price of one million yuan. But with such a large amount of money, they will not trade it directly. Rather, it is gold, silver, copper coins, as well as cloth and other materials, and the most is raw materials, all kinds of iron and copper, and even sulfur saltpeter paint and so on.
Both sides were very satisfied with the outcome of this transaction, Zhang Yingying got the much-needed ordnance, and Li Jing got a large amount of money and raw materials, which was also considered to be a profit.
"I know that you have a lot of warships, I wonder if you can sell us some?"
Zhang Yingying had many ships, but most of them were merchant ships, and there were few warships. Now that the flag is pulling the flag and rebelling, and it is occupying an archipelago like Qinghai Town, warships are indispensable.
"It's not a big problem, you go back to Shamen Town with me and pick it yourself." Li Jing replied directly. He has enough confidence to say this. Almost two-thirds of Da Xie's warships are now his. And half of the combined fleet in Duli Town became his trophies. In addition, the one-eyed Jiao was captured, as well as many large and small warships obtained by the large-scale bandits some time ago, as well as those brought by Zhendonghai after Zhao'an. Li Jing really has a lot of warships now, so much so that the two sailor battalions of Zhenhai Camp and Nu Tao can't use so many warships at all. In particular, many of the battleships that were obtained by the bandits were not very good.
Since Zhang Yingying wanted, Li Jing just took the opportunity to dispose of these warships, which could be regarded as a clearance.
The ordnance and warships were easily obtained, and Zhang Yingying was naturally very happy.
"Thank you."
"What's so polite with me, it's all my own people. Since you insist on staying in Qinghai Town, I can't force you. But we are still a family, and we can strengthen cooperation between the two of us in the future, and you need ordnance warships, etc., just come to me. As long as you take money, silk or food, or all kinds of ore raw materials, slaves, prisoners of war, etc., you can exchange them for what you need. ”
Qinghai Town is between Silla and Japan, and Zhang Yingying not only owns this territory, but she also has the largest caravan in the three seas, and cooperating with her is definitely a profitable deal.
Li Jing took Zhang Yingying's boat directly to Daxie City, but Li Jing did not dare to go back to Shamen Town directly. Since Zhang Yingying was unwilling to stay, he didn't bother to take her back to Shamen Town, saving her from all kinds of trouble after her big belly was seen by the family. At present, there are still a few women in the family who have not solved it, so he will save more trouble.
As soon as he arrived in Nandao, Li Jing immediately began to have people prepare all kinds of ordnance and warships ordered by Qinghai Town, and on the other hand, he also began to mobilize various battalions of men and horses to go to Wuhu Town. On the other hand, Li Jing sent several envoys with rich gifts to Longshan Camp, Dongmu Guard, and Chishan Town and Dengzhou Zhizhou Barracks, to give generous gifts to the generals, lobbying them to send troops together to intimidate Duli Town, and promised that after the deed was completed, there would be greater gifts.
Under such a lure, all battalions were a little moved. They had already heard that Li Jing had just extorted a sum of money from Duli Town and received a huge compensation of 3 million. Who is not impressed, even if it is 300,000 or 100,000, it will be a big deal. After a few days, all the ministries finally decided to send troops to join Li Jing's coalition army.
Cui Zhen, who had a large number of Chishan Town, directly sent 1,000 men and horses to Da Xie Yan, the rest of the Longshan battalion sent 500, Dongmu Shouju also sent 500, and Dengzhou Prison City sent the least number of soldiers sent by Han Zhong, and also sent 300. In addition, there were several Dengzhou battalion heads, ranging from two to three hundred people each, to send troops.
According to the last statistics, a total of eight companies responded, and a total of 5,000 soldiers and horses were sent to gather on the South Island of Daxie. Just as Li Jing was ready to rush 5,000 soldiers and horses from Shamen Town, a total of 10,000 soldiers and horses, to the front line of Wuhu Island to put pressure on Duli Town, he suddenly received an extremely bad news.
Li Lingfu suddenly sent troops alone to attack Duli Town a day ago, but the soldiers were defeated and died, and the soldiers and horses stopped eight times, and before they could return to Qingnipu, the soldiers of Beisha City, who had already retreated, suddenly appeared and surrounded Qingnipu in one fell swoop. Now the situation in the whole Qingnipu is extremely dangerous, and there is a possibility that the army will not be able to break the city at any time.
Hearing the news, Li Jing, who was eating, was shocked that his chopsticks fell directly to the ground. (To be continued......)
