Liberty City, American Quarter.

When Jack learned that Daxia had signed the Trans-Mediterranean Trade Partnership Agreement with the Mediterranean, he couldn't help but admire: "Good means, good courage, good heart!" ”

Jack is becoming more and more interested in this opponent.

************

August 12, Shanhai City.

The trade agreement was successfully signed, the negotiation team is about to return, and Shanhai City is also ushering in a great event.

"Queen of Great Xia, pregnant!"

As soon as the news came out, the court was a sensation, and all officials were happy.

When Song Tianxiong got the news, he laughed happily three times, and he was so happy.

The king has an heir, and there is hope for the continuation of the country's society, and the people's hearts are stable. Ouyang Shuo issued an edict that the queen was pregnant, and the whole world celebrated and granted amnesty to the world to show the emperor's favor.

In this way, the whole country celebrates, and the emperor's grace is mighty.

…………

On this festive day, two Sui and Tang generals defected to the Great Xia Dynasty. These two are none other than Shan Xiongxin and Wang Bodang, two good men in Wagang.

Summer Palace, Wuying Palace.

After verifying the identity and registering the book, the Minister of Military Affairs Du Ruhui led the two to the official meeting.

At present, the Great Xia Army is in urgent need of replenishing a group of middle-level generals, Ouyang Shuo got the news and decided to meet him in person. Otherwise, it would be appropriate to leave the matter directly to the Privy Council.

"The last general, Shan Xiongxin, meet the king!"

"The last general, Wang Bodang, meet the king!"

In the main hall, two heroes saluted at the same time.

Ouyang Shuo sat on the throne, looked down, and looked at the two people in the hall.

Shan Xiongxin, who appeared in the wilderness, is a middle-aged man with small eyes, a short beard, and a righteous face, not like a military general, but more like a good man.

Shan Xiongxin is brave and martial, good at using horse lance, has a friendly relationship with the county and Xu Shixian, and vows to live and die together.

At the end of the Sui Dynasty, Shan Xiongxin joined Zhai Rang's Wagang Rebellion against the Sui Dynasty together with Xu Shiyun. Hou Zhai Rang was killed, and during the battle between Li Mi and Wang Shichong, Shan Xiongxin surrendered to Wang Shichong, and Xu Shichang defected to Li Tang.

In the third year of Wude, Li Shimin led the army to attack Luoyang, Shan Xiongxin led the army to fight, and took Li Shimin directly with a gun and a horse, Xu Shixin appeared to stop Shan Xiongxin, and Shan Xiongxin retreated.

In May of the same year, Wang Shichong was defeated by Li Shimin and surrendered. Li Yuan ordered Shan Xiongxin and other generals to be executed, and Xu Shiyun pleaded with Li Shimin, hoping to save Shan Xiongxin from death, but was refused.

In prison, Shan Xiongxin comforted Xu Shiyun and said: "It's okay, I know that I will definitely die." ”

Xu Shiyun said: "Loyalty and righteousness are difficult to achieve, I will take care of your family after you die." As he spoke, he cut off a piece of his own meat and gave it to Shan Xiongxin to eat, to show that he had not forgotten his original oath.

After Shan Xiongxin ate it, he went to his death.

In the official history "Old Tang Book", it is said that Shan Xiongxin is a powerful general, but in the Yuan and Ming dynasties, the image of Shan Xiongxin was gradually scandalized in miscellaneous dramas, which was despised by people.

Interestingly, Shan Xiongxin was killed by Li Yuan, and in the last years of the Tang Dynasty, Shan Xiongxin's eleventh generation Sun Shan Xing, Shan Wang, Shan Mao, and Shan Sheng joined the Huangchao Uprising, known as the "Four Heroes of the Yellow Army".

It can be said that one report is one report, and the retribution is unpleasant.

……

Wang Bodang stood beside Shan Xiongxin, with long hair and two pigtails, very exotic style, a mustache, and a pair of bright eyes, as if he was hiding something.

This person's real name is Wang Yong, the word Bodang, a native of Hejin Yitang in Shanxi, is a general in Wagangzhai, a student of Li Mi, and defected to Wagangzhai with Li Mi, and is Li Mi's confidant.

Li Mi and Wang Shichong fought a decisive battle in Yanshi, and ordered Wang Bodang to guard the rear base of Kim Yong Cheng.

Soon Li Mi was defeated, and Wang Bodang also abandoned Kim Yong Cheng and met with Li Mi. Li Mi decided to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, and Wang Bodang expressed his willingness to swear to the death.

After the Tang Dynasty, because he was not reused by Li Yuan, Li Mi decided to rebel.

Wang Bodang couldn't persuade him hard, and decided to live and die with Li Mi. After Li Mi attacked Taolin County, he wanted to surrender to the general Zhang Shanxiang, but was ambushed by the Tang general Sheng Yanshi on the way, and Li Mi and Wang Bodang died.

[Name]: Wang Bodang (King Level)

[Dynasty]: Sui Dynasty

[Identity]: General of the Great Xia Dynasty

[Profession]: Senior general

[Loyalty]: 60 points

[Commander]: 70 [Force]: 75 [Intelligence]: 58 [Politics]: 45

[Perk]: Mounted Archery (Increases the attack power of archer units by 20%, increases the marching speed by 20%)

[Exercise]: Not yet

[Equipment]: Nameless Bow

[Evaluation]: Loyal and righteous people, unparalleled archery.

Some people evaluate Wang Bodang as a loyal and righteous person, and some people say that Wang Bodang is a foolish and loyal, and he chose an unreliable master like Li Mi, who does not know how to adapt like Qin Qiong and others.

Ouyang Shuo looked at the two people in the hall, and his heart was also full of doubts.

Wang Bodang took the initiative to vote, but the [loyalty] value had just passed, which was really strange. Ouyang Shuo couldn't help asking, Wang Bodang appeared in the wilderness, so where was Li Mi?

Li Mi was born in the family of the fourth and third dukes, and when the world was in turmoil at the end of the Sui Dynasty, he became the leader of the Wagang army, called the Duke of Wei, and led the Wagang army to defeat the Sui army repeatedly, and shocked the world.

Because Li Mi killed Zhai Rang, the old owner of the Wagang Army, it caused internal instability and was repeatedly defeated by the Sui army. Later, he was appeased by Yang Tong, the king of Yue, and suffered heavy losses in the fight with Yu Wenhua, and was soon defeated by Wang Shichong, and led the remnants to surrender to Li Tang. It didn't take long for him to rebel against Tang and stand on his own, and was beheaded by Tang General Sheng Yanshi in Bears Ears Mountain.

It can be said that Li Mi is a traitor.

There are such characters and heroes like Wang Bodang who swear to follow him, which is really embarrassing.

Although he had doubts in his heart, Ouyang Shuo remained silent.

After meeting the two, he negotiated with Du Ruhui and determined their whereabouts.

Shan Xiongxin entered the Somali Corps as a division commander to enrich the thickness of the Somali Corps generals. Wang Bodang was placed in the Second Army of the City Guard Army and served as the division commander under Mu Guiying.

Wang Bodang's appearance is suspicious, it is precisely because of this that Ouyang Shuo wants to arrange this person under his nose, he wants to see what tricks Li Mi wants to play.

As for transferring Shan Xiongxin to serve in the Somali Corps, Ouyang Shuo also worked hard to get Shan Xiongxin out of this whirlpool and not get involved in this matter.

In principle, Ouyang Shuo still admires fierce generals like Shan Xiongxin. Moreover, Shan Xiongxin is also involved in a Xu Shiyun behind him, which makes Ouyang Shuo's heart even more moved.

Ouyang Shuo keenly sensed that Shan Xiongxin was quietly relieved when he learned that he had been assigned to the overseas corps, which confirmed Ouyang Shuo's guess.

Shan Xiongxin and Wang Bodang are not in the same group, even if they were, they were all hardlifted onto the boat.

……

Back in the imperial study, Ouyang Shuo summoned the commander of Shanhaiwei to make Shen harmless.

"Your Majesty!"

Ouyang Shuo said: "Send someone to quietly keep an eye on Shan Xiongxin and Wang Bodang, especially that Wang Bodang, and keep an eye on this king to see who he is secretly contacting." ”

"No!"

Shen nodded without harm.

"If it is found that Li Mi is behind the ghost, immediately arrange for the shadow guard to arrest him, regardless of life or death." Ouyang Shuo didn't want to play a cat-and-mouse game with Li Mi.

Maybe Li Mi thinks that he has the qualifications to stir up the world, but in Ouyang Shuo's eyes, he is just an obstacle that can be removed at any time.

"Your Majesty, rest assured!"

Shen is also full of confidence.

************

On August 13, Violet led the negotiating team back to Shanhai City.

Ouyang Shuo personally greeted the teleportation array and gave the negotiation team the highest courtesy, and Lang Bai Nanpu, the secretary of the Secret Pavilion, read out the imperial court's commendation to the members of the negotiation team in public.

In addition to rewarding gold, silver, and jewelry, some officials were also promoted to knighthood.

"Thank you, King Shanglongen!"

Violet took the lead in thanking her, and there was no more playfulness in her eyes.

On this trip abroad, Violet's understanding of Ouyang Shuo has deepened, but she doesn't dare to be presumptuous.

In the afternoon of the same day, another bombshell news came out.

The Commerce Department of the Great Xia Dynasty issued a notice that the caravans of the seven [Yanhuang League] territories of Handan City, Red Blood City, Overlord City, Danyang City, Sword City, Fallen Leaf City and Shura City are not within the scope of the Trans-Mediterranean Trade Partnership Agreement, and cannot enjoy the corresponding tariff preferences and investment facilitation.

Of course, in view of Great Xia's previous commitment to sharing trade routes, the caravans of the [Yanhuang Alliance] can still do business on the Great Route, and the ports along the way will not refuse to allow the caravans to dock and replenish.

It's just that compared to other caravans, the cost of transportation and taxes have increased.

At the same time, the Great Xia Commercial Bureau stated that caravans in other territories in China were no longer subject to this restriction and could enjoy the same treatment as the Great Xia caravans.

While vigorously suppressing the [Yanhuang League] and co-opting the neutral territory, Ouyang Shuo's Tai Chi can be described as perfect, which makes people can't help but applaud.

As soon as the news came out, it was naturally two heavens of ice and fire.

The caravans in the territory of the [Yanhuang League] are a wail, and they will inevitably experience some turmoil during this period, and may even cause a large number of chambers of commerce to leave. The caravans in other territories in China were gearing up, ready to take advantage of the great momentum set off by Great Xia to show their strength in the ocean trade.

China's specialty products will be shipped to Western countries through the Great Shipping Route.

To be honest, the Great Xia Dynasty's move was quite a surprise.

In the past, Great Xia had always passively responded to the provocations of the [Yanhuang League], and was accustomed to static braking; This time, Daxia took the initiative to make a move, and as soon as he came up, he dealt a heavy hand to the [Yanhuang League], showing no mercy at all.

This is a rare occurrence.

Some people jokingly said that the [Yanhuang League] caravan was blacklisted by Great Xia and was in a worrying situation.

This time, Daxia is going to completely tear his face with the [Yanhuang League], which makes the people who eat melons excited, while some people who are "worried about the country and the people" are uneasy.

There is gossip that Da Xia's move is revenge for the [Yanhuang League] previous attempt to poison Zhang Yi.

In this way, ordinary players really can't blame Da Xia for anything, at most, they can only say: "[Yanhuang League] This is self-inflicted, don't provoke the lion if you don't have that strength!" ”
