Chapter 25 Encounter, (Part 1)

"Ma'anshan, you are talking about Ma'anshan Iron Mine." Zhu Chongjiu was stunned for a moment, and blurted out his shocked words.

Countless memory fragments quickly flowed through my mind, and some of them were accidentally ignored by him before, quickly amplified and clear. Ma'anshan iron ore, another major iron ore base in Jiangnan in time and space, is famous for its high yield and high quality. The mining area is close to the Majiang and the Yangtze River, so it can be shipped directly to any place where it needs it.

"The chief executive had known that place for a long time." At this moment, Tang Zihao's shock was no less than Zhu Chongjiu himself. He was holding a charcoal pen and looked surprised, "Yes, there are indeed two stones called Ma'anshan, which are said to be transformed from the saddle of the King of Western Chu."

"I heard that, I just heard it." Zhu Chongjiu couldn't answer the other party's questions at all. He smiled and whispered perfunctorily, "I know it definitely is not as detailed as Lord Tang, otherwise, Zhu would have sent troops to take it away long ago. Why should I sit here every day and worry about the lack of iron ore?"

However, the more careful he was, the more he fell into the eyes of Tang Zihao, the left envoy of the Great Light, the more he wanted to cover up. "Tang forgot that the Grand Chief Manager was reincarnated by Maitreya." He patted his head vigorously, and Tang blamed himself in a daze. Then, he added very carefully, "Someone near Ma'anshan has picked up natural copper ingots. I believe the Grand Chief Manager also knows it clearly. There is iron and copper, and Huaiyang's huge workshop, the time when the Grand Chief Manager unified the world is just around the corner."

"I really don't know very well. That big-bellied Maitreya has nothing to do with me." Zhu Chongjiu was embarrassed and waved his hand with a frown. As the Huai'an army won again and again, while his prestige increased, the hat of Maitreya's reincarnation became tighter and tighter. Even many professional geniuses of the Ming Cult who were active in the two Huai Rivers began to secretly emphasize among believers that the Grand General Manager was the real heir of the late Ming King Han Shantong. After the Ming King's body ascended, everything in the world must be left to the Master Maitreya to control.

In response, Zhu Chongjiu had ordered officials at all levels to interfere many times, but each time it had little effect. Those preachers at all levels of the Ming Cult will immediately restrain themselves for a few days after being warned by the government, but as soon as the wind freed, they began to become active again. There were also many lower-level officers and officials who were originally from the Ming Cult who secretly indulged in secret, hoping that the people would now offer their lords to the shrine and burn incense and worship them every day.

"The lower official knows, and the lower official knows that the Grand Chief Manager does not want to make people feel delusions." Tang Zihao immediately bowed and bowed again, his face full of understanding. "The lower official just wanted to remind the Grand Chief Manager that it is the best opportunity to cross the river now, and to take Jiqing, Taiping, Ningguo, Guangde, and Jiande, so that the Grand Chief Manager's Office will completely grow its wings and will soon be able to reach the sky."

"It is of course the best opportunity to cross the river right now, but the Zuo Envoy Tang was not very good." As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Bowen walked over from the path with four steps and said with a sneer at everyone.

"I came here as a lay Buddhist Qingtian. Tang has long admired his reputation." Tang Zihao's face changed several times in an instant. He turned around and bowed to Liu Bowen, "Do you want to attach to Qinglong's tail horse? Or you want to be greedy for the great achievements of the world?"

"What did Liu do? Don't worry about Tang Zuo's envoy." Liu Bowen opened his body unhappily and waved his hand hard. "But the plan that Tang Zuo's envoy today was clearly to use the hands of my lord to intimidate Peng, Zhang, Zhu, Guo and others. The plan was so light that he only regarded all the civil officials in Huai'an as deaf and blind."

"You" Tang Zihao was flushed and red in his mouth, and his mouth was wet and could not make any sound. His already thin body instantly trembled like the remaining lotus in the wind.

Seeing this, Zhu Chongjiu immediately understood that Liu Bowen's words might not be aimless, but he couldn't bear to see Tang Zihao being frustrated like this, so he had to clap his hands and smiled and ordered, "Okay, Bowen, Tang Zuo Envoy is my guest, and everyone had discussed the strategy of going south before, not Tang Zuo Envoy's first initiative today."

"The lord said it very well." No matter what Liu Bowen was to Tang Zihao, he always maintained the respect that his ministers should have when he was accepted. "The strategy of going south was not offered by the left envoy of the Tang Dynasty, but the lord's previous goal of going south was only in Jiqing and Zhenjiang. In a short period of time, he stopped south at most at Guangde, but he did not consider that Lian Taiping and Ningguo were included in his hands. It was too greedy and his sharpness was too strong. Isn't it that the wood was fascinated by the forest and the wind would destroy it."

"Hmm?" Zhu Chongjiu frowned and pondered in a low voice.

The Huai'an Army has limited military strength, and the General Administration has not recovered from the fierce battle with Tutuo last year. Therefore, when setting the next goal, no one dared to take too much. He only planned to gain a solid foothold in Jiangnan after taking Jiqing and completely resolve the problem of food and grass supply. He did not intend to have direct conflicts with other heroes around him now.

While hesitating, Liu Bowen heard Liu Bowen's loud dissuasion: "Over the Taiping Road is Luzhou, and the Chizhou Road of Monk Peng is just connected with Ningguo Road. If the lord wants to eat the five routes of Jiqing, Ningguo, Taiping, Zhenjiang and Guangde in one breath, he must be prepared to conflict with Zhu Yuanzhang, Peng Yingyu and Zhang Shicheng at any time, and if necessary, he must even fight three."

As he spoke, he also walked to the map, grabbed the charcoal pen, and brushed it for a few strokes, and painted the several places he had just mentioned to light black. In this way, the situation of the Huai'an army was about to be faced immediately became extremely clear. After capturing the Taiping Prefecture, it was equivalent to blocking the gate of the Hezhou army to the south. Zhu Yuanzhang's power would be completely held on Luzhou Road. Whether it was south, north or east, he had to clash with the Huai'an army.

Peng Yingyu's development direction can only be in the southwest. Although he is asking for the Huaian Army at present and the relationship between the two sides is very close, if he is really threatened, no one can guarantee that he can continue to live in peace with the Huaian Army.

The remaining Zhang Shicheng is probably not a fuel-efficient lamp. He finally got rid of the control of the Huaiyang General Administration and built a foothold in Jiangnan. When he turned around, he suddenly found that his hiding nest was exposed to the gun mouth of the Huai'an army. It would be strange if he was scared to his hair standing up immediately.

"Lord, there is one thing that I don't know whether to say it or not." Seeing that Zhu Chongjiu might be convinced by Liu Bowen, Wu Liangmou suddenly squeezed into the map and made a loud advice.

"Youtu, please tell me that our Huai'an army has no rules that people cannot speak." Zhu Chongjiu raised his head suddenly and said meaningfully.

"Then the general will be usurped." Wu Liangmou looked at Tang Zihao, who was pretending to be pitiful after his little thoughts were exposed, and then looked at Liu Bowen with a solemn face, and added loudly, "The general thought thought that the Huai'an army is the lord and the Huaiyang people. They should deal with the princes around them. They want to fight. Even if they release the horses, the general will not believe that they can be more powerful than the Tartars. As for blocking whoever does not block the door of the other family, it is even more nonsense. It is said that the Qin people lost their deer and the whole world will chase them. Since sooner or later, our Huai'an army will not attack the door to kill him when they are weak. It is already a complete righteousness. How can we make way for him to leave enough land and raise a tiger to be a disaster!"
