The sturdy life of crossing

Chapter 158 Changes in the situation

The confluence of the two forces, no matter how self-deceiving people are in the county, they also know that those outside are helpless against Mrs. Jane and his party. Some forces in the county that were originally on the sidelines were disappointed by this situation, and the actions and reactions of the people outside are too poor Liao unexpectedly failed to see through Master Jian's and his party's conspiracy at all, and seemed to have no knowledge of Jian Leyang and the forces he formed, so he stumbled on this man.

Outsiders can't count on it, so they have no choice but to show their favor to Jian's family, so let's follow Master Jane honestly.

This wave of goodwill started with the wife's diplomacy. From time to time, the wife of a wealthy family sent a post to visit Jian Niang. Under the guidance of Mrs. Jiang, Jian Niang knew that these were unavoidable, so she simply selected some people to meet, and Those who used beauty tricks to win her favor before were all rejected by her, and those who got the news beat their chests with regret.

The deterrent effect of force is very good, and soon people in Jinhai County will find that the sooner they board the ship of the Jian family, the greater the benefits they will get, and those who are not optimistic about the Jian family, it is useless to regret it, because They will quickly become ordinary people in Jinhai County.

Xu Dun's action was very fast. Not long after, a list was sent from the stockade. Jian Dong led his men to arrest a group of people vigorously. They never expected that the neighbors around them, or the good people who usually look up and look down, would be the nails hidden among them by pirates or Japanese pirates. Unrecognizable.

There is a party in the Zhou Mansion of Yazhou Prefecture. The initiator is Zhou Zhanhong, the prefect of the prefecture. The faces of the participants are very ugly. The action that was thought to be foolproof ended up in a disheveled situation. They didn't pay attention to a weak scholar like Jian Dong, but they unexpectedly stumbled hard on this person. If this matter is not handled well, they all have no good fruit to eat.

"What should I do? What should I do now? I have been an official for so many years, and I never thought that there would be a day when I was wrong. Now Jinhai County has completely changed. Whether it is Huang Feihu or Fang Hu, they have all been defeated. A bunch of useless things can't count on them." Zhou Zhanhong's face turned pale with anger, when he was sitting in the mansion to receive the good news, the news that came back almost made him vomit blood and pass out.

"I didn't expect Fang Hu and Huang Feihu to be so useless. According to people who came back, the group of people in the town of Jinhai County belonged to the Canghai Fleet. Understand?" Li Tongzhi asked Dai Zongbing.

Dai Zongbing is a military officer in his 40s. At this moment, his eyes are full of hostility. It is a shame for a military officer like him to be played by a weak scholar: "I said it should be solved on the road. They, save the night and dreams, are doing well now, I also want to know what to do?"

He suggested that people dress up as robbers and kill the people on the boat on the way. The sky is high and the emperor is far away. It's not up to them to say how people died. Besides, this business is not such an important person. , even if the death is unclear, is there still someone in the capital who can't hold them accountable for them?The current situation is tantamount to returning the tiger to the mountain, and it will be difficult to find people out.

"As far as the current plan is concerned, in my opinion, it's best to lure people out to deal with it outside. The name of the Canghai Fleet is really very famous. Those people on the sea are afraid." What are you afraid of?I'm afraid I wouldn't dare to attack them lightly, Sun Tong offered advice.

"My lord, there is an urgent letter from the capital." Zhou Zhanhong's confidant hurried in and handed him a sealed letter.

Zhou Zhanhong's expression became more dignified. He dared not hide anything from Beijing. Whether it was Jian Dong and his party who arrived in Jinhai County safely and took office smoothly, or the powerful warehouse fleet hidden behind Jian's family, it was no small matter. He immediately sent a letter to Jingli when he got the news. Calculating the time, Jingli should reply as soon as he received the letter, which shows that he attaches great importance to it.

The more he paid attention to it, the more disturbed he became. After opening the letter and reading it quickly, his expression changed again and again.

Zongbing Dai frowned: "Brother Zhou, does the capital have any new explanations?"

Zhou Zhanhong handed over the letter and said, "Look for yourselves. Now the higher-ups mean that we should try our best to win over the Canghai Fleet. It seems that the higher-ups value this fleet very much, but they haven't been able to find out which side it belongs to. , so there is nowhere to start, and the current situation in the capital is not very good."

The letter reveals a meaning, that is, the old emperor's body suddenly weakened for some reason. If he doesn't get better, he may not have much time to live. It can be expected that the situation in the capital will be very tense next. Which one? The superiors, this is related to the fate of the people below them, if the masters above them fail, then they will have no good fruit to eat.

The faces of several people were even worse. One was worried about their own fate and future, and the other was that they were still discussing how to deal with the Jian family and the Canghai fleet. However, before the discussion came to a conclusion, a new order came, asking them to The Jian family and the Canghai Fleet were drawn over. The two situations before and after belonged to two extremes. Then the Jian family was not stupid, and they would be drawn over so easily. Entering a critical period, the people above are afraid that the sharp weapons in the hands of the Canghai fleet, whether it is the crossbow or the explosives produced, can play a vital role in the critical moment of the battle. If there are a large number of these With this kind of weapon in hand, perhaps the palace can be controlled in an instant.

"What should I do?" Zhou Zhanhong asked unwillingly.

"I'm afraid we have to think of a way as soon as possible, and grab them as soon as possible before other forces attack, or they will fall into the hands of others..." Sun Tongjuan worried, and the other people's faces changed when they said this, but No, if it falls into the hands of others, it will be like a tiger with wings added. If it really falls into the hands of others, it is better to completely destroy them.

"The master also said in the letter that you can promise high-ranking officials and rich salary. As long as they are willing to use them for the master, you can temporarily agree to any conditions they ask. The things in the hands of the team, as long as there are things, people can train them again, and when these things fall into their hands, those people can go with peace of mind Send someone to Jinhai County to negotiate with Jian Dong. "Zhou Zhanhong spit out the depression in his heart and asked questions

Several people discussed and discussed, and finally came up with a candidate, and immediately set off for Jinhai County without any delay.

Jinhai County.

Two new masters have arrived, and Jian Dong has been divided into a lot of affairs that need to be dealt with throughout the day, but the burden on his shoulders is not easy. With the end of the closure of the city, various news spread. Fang forces are thinking about how to deal with them.

The two masters, one surnamed Lou and the other surnamed Ma, had a contest with each other on the road. This team was able to arrive smoothly without being spotted on the road, and it was also because of their role that they played a big role. Now that they have arrived in Jinhai County, they found that Jane Next to Dong is a scholar named Luo. The two of them dare not relax at all, but they don't want to be compared by others. To be reused by Jian Dong and even Jian Leyang, you must make yourself very useful.

Luo Tao, also known as Uncle Luo, was also referred to by Jian Dong after a period of probation, acting as a master. Compared with Master Lou and Master Ma, Luo Tao's advantage lies in his familiarity with the local area, and he can often propose The more constructive opinions were adopted by Jian Dong.

Several people were also discussing how to deal with the officials above. Jian Leyang walked in. Uncle Luo and the others stood up and saluted Jian Leyang. With the current situation in Jinhai County, Jian Leyang played the most important role, lacking the crucial deterrent of force Well, it is impossible for Jian Dong to gain a firm foothold here, and now many forces in the county have joined him.

Jian Leyang waved his hand, telling them not to be polite, and said to Father Jian: "Father, the situation has changed, maybe we don't have to worry about how outsiders will deal with us, but have to deal with all kinds of temptations."

"How do you say it? There have been changes in the capital?" Jian Dong also gained some insight and judgment.

"I'm afraid the battle for the throne is about to enter a critical moment." This was the guess of Mr. Lou and Mr. Ma.

"That's right, that's true. I have received a letter from the capital. The old emperor's health is not very good. The few people in the capital don't care about us. At present, it is more important for them to seize the throne. Before Canghai It was not revealed which side the fleet belonged to, and they had nowhere to go when they wanted to make up their minds, which is different now."

Jian Leyang received two letters in his hand, one was from a person who stayed in the capital, and the other was from He Yunzhang. He Yunzhang's letter analyzed in detail, and explained the dispositions of the people who seized the throne. He Yunzhang said in the letter that after the situation on their side was reported back to the capital, there was an uproar in the capital. There were all kinds of opinions about the relationship between Jian Leyang and General Yunqing. Fame is louder.

Of course, there were also a lot of belittling words, but He Yunzhang didn't write them out. He knew that Jian Leyang didn't care about those words, so he dismissed them.

"So it looks like it's a good thing for us." Jian Dong said thoughtfully, his thoughts became more and more unorthodox, the old emperor was dying, and the princes would definitely fight to the death if they seized the throne, how could he? There is a feeling of watching fun, it is really treasonous, but in this way, those people will not be able to deal with Brother Yang, and it will take at least a few years when the situation stabilizes. The power will increase several times, let alone worry about them making a move.

"That's right, it seems that our Jinhai County will have guests coming soon, and Lord Jane needs to be more vigilant." Master Lou said.

Jian Dong nodded, he is not afraid of this, even if he just let it go, nothing in this world is more important than his family.

Several people discussed the possible comers and the means of attack from all parties. After Jian Leyang talked about the situation in the capital, he sat on the sidelines and listened, and did not interrupt, because now the person who is in charge is his father. Of course those people are looking for his father, even if those people know that Jian Leyang is the owner of the Canghai Fleet, probably those people are not willing to negotiate with a brother.

Ha ha

It just happened to save him trouble.

In the capital, as He Yunzhang said in his letter, all parties reacted strongly to the news sent back, but Jian Dong's success in taking office is nothing, his life is of no use, but the master behind the Canghai Fleet has surfaced, That was tantamount to dropping a bomb in the hearts of all the big names in the capital, and the degree of shock was beyond words.

Mrs. Gu did not know much about it before, but now he is a little dizzy when he hears the news. After all, it has not been a year or two since the Canghai Fleet appeared on the sea, and the wealth they have amassed is also amazing. A bit of news spread, after all, the fleet would stop at coastal ports to unload cargo, deal with various merchants, and fight pirates at sea to occupy islands. After a long time, people will focus on this fleet, and their combat effectiveness and the weapons they use are even more eye-catching.

It’s just that the behind-the-scenes owner of this fleet has always been very mysterious. It was not leaked at all before, but now it is told that it belongs to a brother. An unmarried brother has such combat power and amazing wealth. Everyone is going to faint. It's too late to regret it, if I knew this, why can't I wait to release him from the capital, and after leaving the capital, the family will be like a fish in the sea and there will be no more constraints.

Gu Min shook his head and sighed: "So, Brother Yang has hidden his wealth very low-key in the capital, and now there are all kinds of things outside, and it is said that Brother Yang has more than one mountain of gold and silver in his hands, so how many are there?" Wealth."

He felt that Brother Yang's current wealth was beyond what he could have imagined. How old was Brother Yang, and even if General Yunqing was reborn, he would not be able to reach such a level.

Gu Jin was also deeply moved: "Yeah, at the beginning I thought there would be some ups and downs when I went to Jinhai County, but I didn't expect it to be so smooth. I heard that they killed all the local bullies and bandits as soon as they passed. Now it's said that Brother Yang There are murderers and devils."

"Father, Grandpa, shall we go to Yang Geer's place to play? I have long wanted to go to the sea to see it. I heard that the sea boat built by Yang Geer is very big. I really want to see it." Gu Yinzhen took her father's arm She said coquettishly, she didn't dare to tell her mother this, she knew her mother didn't like Brother Yang, but she admired Brother Yang so much, he was so amazing.Gu Yinquan's eyes were also shining brightly, and he yearned for the outside world very much.
