Chapter 514: The Han-State Barbarians in the Four-person World

At the same time, Zhao Xin, who returned to the cabin, brushed his teeth while recalling the "story" told by Ye Zhanrong.

The style of the phoenix hairpin is fine, and the workmanship is not something that ordinary craftsmen can imitate. When he was married to Shen Xuan, he checked out the accessories of the princess of the Ming Dynasty. Director Liu also asked someone to customize it, but the ones made were far worse than the actual ones.

So the question now is, what exactly does Ye Zhanrong want to do?

Deng Fei told him that Ye Zhanrong wanted to avenge his eldest son's family. Then what? The longer he stayed in the 18th century, the less Zhao Xin dared to underestimate the ancients. Putting aside the difference in knowledge, no one is worse than anyone else in terms of fighting and being smart.

Zhao Xin still doesn't know how Heshen recognized him during the negotiations at Chaoyin Temple last year. Jiang Fan later said that he had the aura of domineering power and was naturally conspicuous when standing in the crowd, unlike ordinary people.

The turtle is just emitting the aura of a turtle! If you want to be domineering, Liu Sheng, among the time travelers in Beihai Town, said that he ranks second, but no one dares to say that he is first.

In fact, in these six years, every time he led his troops to win, Zhao Xin would feel elated, and his inner desires would expand again and again. However, when he returned to another time and space, the modern environment kept reminding him that he was just an ordinary person with some luck, saying that he was a lonely and had no friends.

Ye Zhanrong was a businessman. Like Shen Jingdan, maximizing interests was the driving force for them to sacrifice their families and take risks. Twenty fishing boats were collected from Hoi'an. Such a big change was corresponding to the ships used by the North Navy to attack Hue. Afterwards, the Xishan Dynasty government could understand it after investigation.

After brushing his teeth, Zhao Xin lay on the bed and looked at the ceiling. Now he assumed that he was really the last descendant of the Zhao king. So what should he do after learning about the friendship between the ancestors of the Ye family and the Princess Zhao?

The golden hairpin is not a jade letter, and this thing is useless to confirm identity. The so-called jade letter is actually a family tree. For guys who are ambitious to be emperor, the phoenix hairpin can be regarded as a circumstantial evidence; but for Zhao Xin, the cunning guy Ye Zhanrong made a mistake in his plan.

Almost for a moment, Zhao Xin even had the idea of ​​"killing people to silence the mouth". But then he felt it was ridiculous again. This was not enough to cover up, and there was no airtight wall in the world. When did he start to regard human life as a mustard?

Forget it, let him go. Before entering the pass, the system of Beihai Town should be clarified and no longer misunderstood under the banner of the former Ming Dynasty.

While thinking about it, Zhao Xin fell asleep in a drowsy way.

After waking up the next day, Zhao Xin called Deng Fei, Wang Yuanfang and Hong Tao to have a meeting to discuss the next strategy for Annan.

Zhao Xinyi came up and first proposed a solution to get back Tongdeng and Lang Son, and also told him what he knew about Nguyen Phuc Ying. All the other three agreed.

Specifically, it was to assist Nguyen Phuc Ying in Guangnan to conquer the two prefectures of Pingshun and Guiren, and let Beihai Town recruit soldiers in Hoi'an, so the source of the troops was found in the Mingxiang Society group. In fact, the area of ​​Pingshun and Guiren is not currently under the control of Ruan Guangping, but is managed by his elder brother Ruan Wenyue. The "Xishan regime" in history actually refers to the three brothers of the Ruan family. The first emperor of the Xishan Dynasty was not Ruan Guangping, but Ruan Wenyue.

Four years ago, Ruan Wenyue called the Central Emperor in Guiren, and appointed his second brother Ruan Wenlu as the King of Dongding and governed Jiading; his third brother Ruan Guangping as the King of Beiping and stationed in Fuchun. The three brothers each occupied a piece of land and ruled in different districts.

However, not long after, an internal strife broke out between Ruan Wenyue and Ruan Guangping. Ruan Wenyue was licentious and cruel, and even his third brother Ruan Guangping's wife and concubine were spared. The two sides were uneven in dividing the stolen goods and land in the north of Zhengzhu Caibao and Guangnan, and finally met in war.

Ruan Wenyue could not beat his younger brother at all, but Ruan Guangping did not continue to fight the Guiren Fortress because the other party was his elder brother. In the end, both sides took Banjin as the boundary, returned to Ruan Wenyue to the south of the broad meaning, sublimated, and returned to Ruan Hui to the north of the dianpan, and worked their own affairs.

In fact, the real culprit of the "Jiading Massacre" is not only Ruan Guangping, but Ruan Wenyue is also one of them.

Zhao Xin finally reminded the three of them: "The troops in Hoi An must be in our own hands, and we must not let Nguyen Phuc Ying get involved. However, Nguyen Phuc Ying's strength is also bad. The information says that the French helped train tens of thousands of people for the ship, but he actually fought with Erruan for several years."

Hong Tao interrupted: "This shows that the French in this era are not very good!"

The other three people all smiled when they heard this.

Zhao Xin continued: "About Luzon and Java, my opinion is to first deal with the Dutch in Batavia, and then the Spaniards in Manila. The purpose is two: First, we must declare the strength of Beihai Town, so that those Westerners and natives will never dare to make the Chinese again. In addition to having to publicly apologize, we must pay compensation!"

"Totally agree!" Hong Tao slapped the table and shouted: "If you don't agree, fire it! Batavia and Manila are bloody!"

"Haha," Zhao Xin continued: "The second thing is to clarify the ownership of Mindanao, especially in the south."

Hong Tao blinked and looked at Zhao Xin and said, "Prince Zhao, are you looking at the gold mine again? I said you still have any ends? Do you plan to take all the big gold mines in the world?"

Zhao Xin smiled bitterly and said, "Doctor Hong, do you know how much we spend in the steel plant in Boli? Eight tons of gold, at least! Moreover, there is no abundant copper mine in the jurisdiction of Beihai Town. The copper mine on Mindanao is ranked sixth in the world and the number one in Asia!"

"Okay, you have successfully convinced me again." Hong Tao spread his hands and shook his head helplessly.

Deng Fei said at this time: "Is there anything besides these? I remember you said you wanted to mess with the British?"

"Yes. Thanks to your reminder, I almost forgot to say it." Zhao Xin said: "When you finish Luzon's business, if you still have the energy, you can visit the East India Company in Bangladesh. If there are any other people who transport opium to Guangzhou, as long as it is a British merchant ship, you will see one ship sinking."

Wang Yuanfang and Deng Fei looked at each other and smiled bitterly: "I really treat us as donkeys! I guess this trip will not be over in a few months."

"I really want to change with you. Why don't you go to Siberia?"

"Don't! The south is very good. Among us, you are the best Russian language among us. I can't."

"That's it." Zhao Xin said to Deng Fei again: "Old Deng, your French strength, you will deal with the French people on Nguyen Phuket. Be careful of the priest named Peter. The Catholics stretched out too long in Annan. The treaty signed by Nguyen Phuket and the French government were made by him. The ones ceded were Hoi An and Kunlun Islands. These two places are currently controlled, especially Kunlun Island is closest to Malacca. I consider using it as a link on the north-south route in the future."

"North-south route?" Hong Tao asked: "Are you planning to go directly to Beihai Town?"

"Yes, this was the case before entering the pass." Zhao Xin said that, and then drew a schematic diagram on the whiteboard on the wall. "Beihai Town, Jeju Island, Nan Kyushu, Xian Island Island, Luzon, Hoi'an, Kunlun Island, Malacca, Batavia, Mindanao."

"Good guy," Hong Tao joked: "You have such ambitions! Just take Australia and go straight to Antarctica."

"Stop it, this is not something to consider in the 18th century, let's talk about it..."

Zhao Xin was about to go further and said that the door of the conference room was suddenly knocked, and then a confidential officer on Thor rushed in and handed a telegram to Zhao Xin. Zhao Xin opened it and frowned slightly, and then looked as usual.

Deng Fei asked, "Is there any situation?"

"No. small things."

Zhao Xin did not say the content of the telegram, but put the paper in his pocket, then knocked the whiteboard with the pen in his hand and continued: "Now, Guangdong has many people and few land, and the people are struggling to spend the day, forcing them to go out to sea to make a living. Let's talk about the secret, except for you three, only a few people know about this. Now the inventory of silver ingots in Beihai Town has exceeded 3 million taels."

Deng Fei, Wang Yuanfang and Hong Tao said in surprise: "So much! Did your father-in-law earn it from the Qing Dynasty?"

Zhao Xin rolled his eyes and said, "The profit of the Ministry of Trade is not that high. Some of these silvers are companions for gold mining, as well as seized on the battlefield, and finally purified from the island country's bean plate silver that was set up with Beihai coins. I have calculated that if all of them were cast into Beihai Yuan, it would be almost more than 3.67 million."

Hong Tao suddenly pointed at Zhao Xin and said, "Oh~~! I remembered that when I made new money, you said that you would use our money to trap silver from the island country. How long have you been working?"

Zhao Xin nodded and smiled, "It's been more than two years."

"Haha, why am I so happy?!" Hong Tao pounded the table twice happily, and then asked again: "How much did I earn?"

"As of the end of last month, there were 883,01 taels. Both gold and silver."

In fact, during the past few years of Heita's time in the island country, Zhao Xin, in addition to asking him to cut off the "Eternal Series" step by step and collect information from the shogunate and various vassals, his main job is to open up large-scale exchange channels for Hakkai coins in Osaka, Nagasaki and Kyoto commercial circles.

Since the Buhai Town and the shogunate signed an armistice agreement the previous year, a large number of Buhai Yuan and coins have flowed into the island country from Sendai and Mian Kyushu. In order to obtain silver and gold coins on the island country, Buhai Town has even made "cent coins"; the 5-cent coins are equivalent to 2 bean silver in the island country, and the 5-cent coins correspond to two cent silver.

Since the coin materials in Haizhen are made of copper-aluminum alloy and the cents are aluminum-magnesium alloys, they look shining. In addition, copper-aluminum alloys will become oxidized due to oxidation, which makes many island people believe that the silver coins in Beihaizhen contain silver.

Zhao Xin finally told the three of them: "After you arrive in Hoi'an, let Ye Chengxiang take Zheng Lianchang's people to Siam to buy 30 more thousand-stock Guangzhou ships. We will set up another 'Nanhai Trading Company', and we will account for 51%, and let Zheng Lianchang and the Ye family share the rest. In the future, we will send people from Guangdong to Nanyang for free. In addition to farming, we will also open a rubber farm as soon as possible, and then transport the Nanyang products to Hoi'an or Ryukyu."

Deng Fei nodded and praised: "I agree! No one can be faster than our sailing fleet and transport more cargo. When the fly-scissors are built next year, the entire Haimai Beihai Town in Southeast Asia will have the final say!"

This closed-door meeting, which determined the situation in South Asia for more than a hundred years, started from morning to noon, and the fate of countless people was rewritten in this conference room on Thor, including He Xiwen and Ye Zhanrong's family.

"What? King Zhao is gone!"

In the evening, Ye Zhanrong and his son boarded the Thunder God again and were about to see Zhao Xin, but Deng Fei told the "King of Zhao" that he had already left in the afternoon.

Looking at the Ye family father and son with a disappointed look, Deng Fei felt a little funny, but he still said seriously: "It just so happens that I have something to ask you two for help. This is the case..."

When Ye Zhanrong, who had some intentions, listened to the three things about recruiting soldiers, buying ships and "Nanhai Trading Company", his heart finally fell into his stomach. Now he finally held Beihai Town's thighs, and his family business was just around the corner.

Another day later, when He Xiwen completed the "scraping the ground three feet" operation against the Hue Palace, the joint fleet of the North Navy and He Xiwen left Hue and set off south. Their next stop was Hoi'an.

Wu Wenyong, Ruan Wenhe and others who retreated to Xiangshui County received news of the sergeant, confirming that the Northern Navy had left, and then they could not wait to send troops north. However, what was waiting for them was the palace that was plundered by the pirates, which was not even left.

......

At dusk, in the hospital on the west side of the central square of Beihai Town, a graceful girl carefully carried a three-story "Treasure Inlay" food box and came to the door of a room. She knocked on the door twice, and then someone in the room said, "Come in."

The girl pushed open the door and walked into the room. She saw the man on the bed sitting on the head of the bed, holding a thick book in her hand and spreading it on the quilt. The girl frowned slightly, and then Zhan Yan said softly: "Miss Wang, I'm here to bring you supper."

Wang Zhenyi on the hospital bed smiled and said, "Miss A Miao, thank my wife for her for her trouble."

A Miao walked straight to the bed, placed the food box on the small table, picked up a folded wooden table from the side, opened it, placed it in front of Wang Zhenyi, and then put it out one by one in the food box.

"This is the river fish sent from Boli. The meat is the most tender in winter. The teacher said, Miss Wang, you can't eat greasy, but you can eat more fish. This is bean curd mixed with celery, this is egg custard steamed with crab leg meat, this is mixed grain porridge..."

The "teacher" that A Miao mentioned was Hong Tao's wife Director Liu. A few years ago, A Miao worked as an apprentice with Liu Siting for two years, but the girl became a little depressed because she often couldn't see Zhao Xin. Zhao Xin felt a little distressed at the time, so she told A Miao not to be a nurse anymore, and then she stayed with her.

Wang Zhenyi was a little overhead, looked at the table full of sluts, and smiled bitterly: "I have eaten so much, why don't you eat with me?"

A Miao smiled and said, "I have eaten everything before I came out. You eat something. The teacher said that you should supplement nutrition and have enough rest so that the disease can be cured quickly."

After saying that, she hesitated for a moment and plucked up the courage to say, "Miss Wang, don't be angry if you have something. I, I sent him a telegram the day before yesterday."

When Wang Zhenyi heard this, holding the porridge bowl paused for a moment. She turned her head and looked out the window. From the gap between the curtains and the window, all she could see was the howling heavy snow in the sky. She smiled bitterly and murmured: "It's too far away, even if she knew he wouldn't come back."

A Miao blinked and thought to herself that you really don’t understand him!

After Wang Zhenyi slowly drank half a bowl of porridge and ate a few bites of the dishes, she could no longer eat it. When A Miao saw that she had no temper, she had to put the things away and talked with her. The content mainly revolved around Zhao Xin's son.

".........A few days ago, Miss Tang came over to teach me Nu Hong. When she entered the door, Mo Mo saw it. Okay, he walked over staggeringly, hugged Miss Tang's legs, just, hahahaha~~~"

Wang Zhenyi said curiously: "What's wrong? You said it."

A Miao covered her mouth and said, "He hugged Miss Tang's legs and called her mother, which made Miss Tang so embarrassed. The wife was so angry that she said he was an ungrateful wolf, but Momo actually grinned and silly. I was so happy."

Wang Zhenyi smiled with her lips pursed and then felt a little sad again. When she was tired and was hospitalized, Wu Xianning carefully checked her and told her to take good care of her this time, otherwise even if she got married in the future, it would be very difficult for her child to have a child.

Wang Zhenyi practiced medicine with her father Wang Xichen for many years, and she knew some medical skills herself. After she knew what disease she had, she realized that Wu Xianning's words were just comforting.

Since she had a skin relationship with the man on the beach that snowy day, Wang Zhenyi even thought that when she followed Lao You for two years, she would marry into a wife, take care of her husband and children, and even her concubines would recognize her. But now this disease has left all wishes in vain...

At 8 o'clock in the evening, Ah Miao went back. As soon as Wang Zhenyi continued to read a book, the nurse outside turned off the light. In desperation, Wang Zhenyi had to lie on the bed and think about it randomly, including mathematics and the scene where the horn shot across the halberd outside the horses and the figure of that person flashed during the scene.

At this time, in Wu Xianning's study room, Zhao Xin, who had just returned to Beihai Town, asked anxiously: "What kind of disease is she?"

"Congenital heart disease." Wu Xianning still heard the word "Since the future, the descendants may..."

After he said that, he glanced at Zhao Xin. As a relative of Chen Xuan's adoptive mother, Wu Xianning thought that the rumors outside the past two years seemed to be something about Zhao and Wang Zhenyi, but it seems that it is true today.

The problem is that Beihai Town cannot marry a concubine, but you, King Zhao, personally issued a rule. I have to depend on what you do. If you really want to get an outdoor room, your colleague, Wang Xichen, who is in charge of the imaging department, will definitely chase you all over the world.

Zhao Xin left the Wu family with an expressionless face, and returned to his home in the heavy snow. His sudden appearance surprised everyone in the family except A Miao. After talking to his parents for a while, he teased him for a long time, he didn't recognize his son. Zhao Xin felt a little hungry.

While eating, Chen Xuan, who was sitting beside him, suddenly whispered: "Miss Wang is sick, you'd better take time to go and have a look tomorrow."
