Chapter 532 Eat a clean Zhao Er
Qian Hongchu disguised himself as he changed his clothes, came out of Hangzhou City, and headed straight to the dock, without even wanting to delay for a moment. He swears that he would never want to come back in his life, and it was really unbearable to look back on it!
Speaking of which, during this period, Qian Hongchu has experienced more things than the previous ten years, more strange and more heartbreaking!
First of all, there was the Jinghai Rebellion. A pirate leader actually conquered the city and seized Jinghai. Wu Yue's navy was vulnerable.
Without strength, there is no respect. The Great Zhou despises Wu Yue and has no choice but to send Cheng to the Southern Tang, give annual monies, and accept the Southern Tang currency. Isn’t it just money? It’s better to avoid disasters when money is lost. People are not as good as peaceful dogs. People don’t say this often, but why do they all regret it when things come to an end?
Suzhou merchants rioted and stole the city and drove away all the people from the court.
The pirates bullied me, and the merchants bullied me too. Qian Hongchu was really angry. He plundered the national treasury, concentrated money, mobilized people, and wanted to destroy Su Shang.
But at this time, the Great Zhou sent Grand Secretary Wei Renpu to the south!
asshole!
I am the King of Wu Yue. Your Zhou Dynasty is blind. You would rather rely on pirates and merchants than take me seriously!
It's simply unbearable!
Qian Hongchu became even more angry, but where did he get the courage to turn against Da Zhou?
what to do?
Endure it!
But some people refused to let him bear it. Li Hongji sent an envoy to ask Wu and Yue to raise an army with the Southern Tang Dynasty to fight against the Zhou Dynasty. Of course, Qian Hongchu refused, and he wanted to sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight.
But he soon discovered a problem. Wu Yue's court was completely in chaos. As the king, he completely lost control.
Qian Hongchu was really late to realize it, this was an era of drastic changes.
The Great Zhou vigorously promoted the clearance of the land and the equalization of land. Li Hongji also encouraged industry and commerce to enrich the country and strengthen the army. The two giants were running with all their might, and the wind brought by the brought wind was enough to make Wu Yue in chaos.
Some people advocate learning from Li Hongji and working hard to govern, while others suggest imitating the Great Zhou Dynasty, forcing equal land to win back the hearts of the people.
No matter which of these two paths is very difficult.
Qian Hongchu didn't choose any of them. He chose to be an ostrich. He pushed forward the car without falling down. It was a good life to deal with it.
Humans are animals with a strong sense of crisis. Life is less than a hundred years old and always worry about thousands of years. At this moment, without doing anything is the greatest incompetence.
Wu Yue's subordinates became more and more disappointed and tired of Qian Hongchu.
This is also the root cause of Su Shang’s rebellion.
There are no black swan events in this world. If a black swan appears, it can only be said that some very important things have been ignored in the past. When it happens, you will feel a sudden occurrence and be caught off guard.
The civil and military officials of Wu and Yue were divided into two factions that were close to the Great Zhou and the Southern Tang Dynasty, and they argued endlessly.
In contrast, the Southern Tang was so close that Li Hongji worked hard to bribe him, and many upper-class civil servants and generals had been drawn to the Southern Tang.
Therefore, they firmly advocated sending troops with the Southern Tang Dynasty to attack Suzhou and regain the territory belonging to Wu and Yue.
Qian Hongchu was shocked to realize that the overall situation was out of control. He had no choice but to go with the flow and let the ministers close to the Southern Tang lead troops to attack Suzhou. He wanted to concentrate on solving internal problems and regain lost power.
However, Qian Hongchu did not expect that the people left, the ministers close to the Southern Tang Dynasty were exiled, and the merchants in Hangzhou had completed the connection. They tried to imitate Suzhou and control the entire city through the chamber of commerce, and even the Liangzhe River!
They forced Qian Hongchu to exchange for big money, otherwise they would go into the palace!
Because the business class in Hangzhou is complex, including maritime merchants, silk merchants, and officials and businessmen who rely on the upper class, they compete for each other. Before they could make trouble, internal chaos began to arise, fighting each other, and even fighting, completely losing order.
When Zhao Er arrived, he was facing such a mess.
Qian Hongchu was completely desperate about his country. He could not defend himself against important civil and military officials, nor did he have the strength to deal with those powerful businessmen.
He only has one way left, that is to escape!
"I am very grateful for the fact that Shangguo can take it in. This is Wu Yue's jade seal, so I'll ask the imperial envoy to keep it for you." Qian Hongchu smiled flatteringly and sent the jade seal to Zhao Er.
Zhao Er just snorted, and he looked down on the King of Wu Yue. If it weren't for his usefulness, Zhao Er would have wanted to kill him with one knife!
"Prince Qian, are you going to Dazhou like this?"
"This..." Qian Hongchu said in a chinese manner: "Sir, what else do you have to give?"
"I dare not say the order. I hope Prince Qian can bring some meeting gifts and I can also speak for you." Zhao Er was really rude and asked for it directly, without even covering it.
Qian Hongchu slapped his forehead and shouted, "It should be, should it be, is it for money or a beauty? The imperial envoy, our Wu Yue is the hometown of Xi Shi. The beauty is famous for her, such as chess, calligraphy, painting, playing, playing, playing, playing, singing, and everything..."
"Pooh!"
Zhao Er said angrily: "Do you think I am a drunkard?"
Qian Hongchu was scolded to the boss, "Then, I wonder what the imperial envoy wants?"
"What do you want? Besides the navy, what else can the Great Zhou like to see?" Zhao Er didn't say nonsense and immediately forced Qian Hongchu to write an order and stamp it with a seal. He personally took it and asked Qian Hongyi to follow him to mobilize the navy of Wu Yue.
After continuous defeats, the morale of the Wu Yue navy was low and had no combat power. Many soldiers and sailors had already escaped privately, with more shortages. This is a waste force, but Zhao Er still values the Wu Yue navy. The reason is very simple, it is these hundreds of large ships!
Who made Jiaozhou Shipyard just start building ships? There is still a long way to go before building a powerful navy. There is no way, so I can only use Wu Yue’s to charge it first!
Zhao Er directly found Xue Wen, the commander of the navy commander, who was Qian Hongchu's confidant.
"The king of the country has a decree, and you will immediately lead the navy to the north and rush to the battlefield in Suzhou."
Xue Wen was very embarrassed. With the current situation of the navy, how could he go north? What's more, Hangzhou City is in chaos and the king suddenly issued an order. What does this mean?
The person in front of him is very unfamiliar, where did he come out?
Xue Wen hesitated and did not accept the order. He said calmly: "Who is the Lord Envoy? Why haven't I seen him?"
Zhao Er smiled, "It's not surprising that you haven't seen me, you must have seen him."
After flashing, Zhao Er retreated aside, Qian Hongyi rushed over, and he escorted several people, including men and women, old and young, and was Xue Wen's family!
"You!" Xue Wen was furious and couldn't help but grab the sword with his right arm.
Zhao Er said: "Don't be anxious, it's not about threatening you with them, but about letting them go with you."
“Where to go?”
"Go to Haizhou, not only you, but your king will also go together!"
...
Zhao Er controlled Xue Wen, and Wu Yue's navy finally took action, but after working for a long time, only more than 200 ships raised sails. Other warships lacked sailors and could not act!
Xue Wen had already known Zhao Er's identity and said helplessly: "Please forgive me for the imperial envoy of the country. Why don't you wait any longer and let the general send someone to arrest the Ding?"
"No need!" Zhao Er pondered for a moment, "Go, let your ships surround the merchant ships and let them follow!"
"ah!"
Xue Wen was shocked, "How can this work?"
"Why can't it be! When they went to the Great Zhou Dynasty, the imperial court would not treat them unfairly. By the way, I also went to find all the best shipbuilders in Hangzhou and get on the boat and go together!"
"Isn't this abducting the population? What if they don't want to?"
Zhao Er was too lazy to talk nonsense to him, so he stepped in front of Qian Hongchu, "Prince Qian, the more things you bring to the Great Zhou, the heavier the gift, the better your life in the Great Zhou. Do you know what to choose?"
"I understand, of course!"
Qian Hongchu turned his head and said to Xue Wen: "Get on your move quickly, don't let those businessmen know the news, otherwise they won't be able to leave."
The king said so, can Xue Wen still refuse to agree?
He had no choice but to send his confidant to catch people and rob the ship.
Just imagine, can you not disturb others if you are so troubled on the dock?
Several groups of wealthy merchants in Hangzhou were hooking up with officials, with their hands and eyes wide open. The news of Qian Hongchu disguising himself and sneaking out of the palace had long been spreading. When the dock was moving, these people would know immediately.
The navy is the most important force of Wu and Yue, so how can it be lost?
They rushed to the dock, and many officials also came.
Unfortunately, they were one step late.
Two hundred and seventy warships, more than one hundred merchant ships, and three hundred shipbuilders followed Zhao Eryangfan to sea and sailed towards Dazhou together.
Before leaving, Zhao Er stood at the bow of the boat, full of energy.
"Hahaha, it is a wise move for your king to follow the will of heaven and submit to the Great Zhou Dynasty. If you are smart, you should surrender as soon as possible, so as not to lose your life!"
The merchants in Hangzhou are different from Su Shang. Wu Yue is empty at the moment, and they want to be the eldest son. Besides, even if they want to surrender to the Great Zhou, they have to sell for a good price. If the navy loses, what value will they have!
"Chase!"
The remaining ships in the dock were gathered, and someone led them to chase them directly.
These two fleets were like two dark clouds, one in front and one behind, leaving Hangzhou Bay.
Zhao Er was full of energy and had turned so many ships and shipbuilding craftsmen. After returning, he was a great achievement! While he was flirting with his eyes, he found that these ships were getting slower and slower, and were gradually caught up by the fleet behind him. Some ships even turned the bow and ran away quietly!
Zhao Er's hair was standing up.
"The surname of Xue, what's going on?"
Xue Wen had no choice but to say sadly: "My Imperial Commander, our army is depressed and lacks food and salary. In addition, many of the sailors colluded with the Chamber of Commerce. I am afraid that they are unwilling to go north together!"
"It's okay if you don't want to!"
Zhao Erhong roared with his eyes naked, "Your king, your family are all in my hands! If you dare to let a ship go, I will chop you!"
Zhao Er pulled out his sword, like a living bandit.
Xue Wen had no choice but to order not to escape, but the stricter he ordered, the more ships he ran, especially a huge merchant ship, which knocked over a small boat, turned around and sailed towards Hangzhou Bay.
Seeing that the duck that was about to fly, Zhao Er was so anxious!
Chapter completed!
