Just when Sun Quan had not made up his mind, an unexpected guest arrived.
Visitors from Cochin.
Sun Qian.
Are they from the old Sun family? Although they are not relatives now, they may have been the same family five hundred years ago, so Sun Quan came to greet Sun Qian very happily.
Although Sun Qian wandered around on the ship for a while, he freshened up and adapted after getting off the ship, and more or less restored the demeanor of a celebrity. "The foreign minister pays homage to the Lord of Jiangdong!"
Uh-huh, Sun Quan likes to hear this. The Lord of Jiangdong is better than any general, right?
Sun Quan said kindly: "Sir, please rise." Generally speaking, from a simple appearance, Sun Quan still has some demeanor.
After Sun Qian got up and sat down, Sun Quan asked his attendants to serve tea.
During this process, Sun Quan looked at Sun Qian carefully and felt that this man was not only good-looking, but also calm in his demeanor. In addition, perhaps due to the wind and frost of the sea voyage, although he was a little haggard, it also made him more handsome. Mature.
Sun Quan smiled and said: "Sir, it was hard work all the way north from Jiaozhou! The sea was unstable and windy and rainy. It must have been extremely difficult for you, sir."
Sun Quan also sent some people to sea, knowing the difficulties at sea.
Although Sun Quan established some very preliminary trade routes from Yemadai, Ryukyu and other places, due to immature navigation technology, such trade routes were very unstable, and sometimes it was inevitable that both men and ships would be lost.
Sun Qian said slowly: "Thank you Lord Jiangdong for taking the trouble. It's actually not difficult. We set out in the next April, when the southerly wind prevailed, so it was a smooth journey along the way."
"South wind?" Sun Quan nodded and said, "Sir, have you ever been to Jiangdong?"
"I've never been here before," Sun Qian replied.
"Then this time, sir, I must stay in Jiangdong for a while, see the scenery of Jiangdong, and show my friendship as a landlord." Sun Quan laughed and said, seeming to be very generous and hospitable.
Sun Qian bowed slightly and said, "It is better to obey your orders than to be respectful and thank the Lord of Jiangdong."
After the two exchanged a few words, Sun Quan turned to the topic and asked, "Shijun Liu...is far away in Jiaozhi, and Mr. Liu has traveled thousands of miles to come here. What's the important matter?"
Sun Qian took out a letter sealed in a bamboo tube from his arms and presented it with both hands.
Sun Quan took it apart and looked at it.
The letter was written by Liu Bei.
Basically, Liu Bei described how he was with Sun Jian back then, and then he also heard about Sun Ce, and then expressed his personal admiration for Sun Quan. It was not until the end of the letter that he briefly mentioned that he hoped to be with Jiangdong. Establish a trade route for mutual trade.
Sun Quan pondered for a moment. Although he could generally make the decision to start trade with Liu Bei immediately, because it was beneficial to both parties after all, as the lord of Jiangdong, Sun Quan still knew that he had to be reserved and not reveal his greed for money right away. Face.
Just like Liu Bei vaguely expressed his willingness to renew his "front relationship" with the Sun family after narrating his emotions with the two generations of prefects of the Sun family at length, Sun Quan couldn't be impatient on the spot. Post it? Speaking of which, Liu Bei actually participated relatively early, so he has some friendship with most of the current princes. But I don’t know if the BUFF Liu Bei has on him will activate against Sun Quan this time... …
Sun Quan slowly put away the letter and said that he would think about it carefully.
This was also the proper intention. Sun Qian had no intention of asking Sun Quan for a reply right away. The two of them immediately put aside their business and talked about some romantic matters.
It has to be said that Sun Qian was quite effective as a diplomatic envoy. Not only did he vividly tell Sun Quan some of the wonders of the sea or anecdotes, but he even described to Sun Quan the conditions, customs and customs of the local indigenous people in Jiaozhi. Habits and so on, Sun Quan was not only surprised, but also very interesting. Unknowingly, he was chatting all afternoon. It was not until the sky darkened that he suddenly realized that time had passed.
Sun Quan immediately ordered his servants to prepare a dinner to entertain Sun Qian, but the two of them had to sit for a long time, so they had to change their clothes...
"It's a pity...there are no war horses..." Sun Quan sighed in a low voice.
Although according to Sun Qian, there were war elephants in Jiaozhi that were larger and more powerful than war horses, Sun Quan also knew that those things were unreliable. If they were really that powerful, Shi Xie would not …
By the way, Shi Xie, the Shi clan.
"Come here!" Sun Quan called out, and then said to the guards who came, "Send the order! Hang the head of the Zhanshi clan on the city wall!"
Before, Sun Quan kept some people from the Shi family because he thought they would be useful in case of emergency, but now they are not used.
……щ(Дщ)……
"My lord killed the Shi family..."
Zhu Zhi sat in the hall, folded his hands on his chest, and sneered, "This is for someone to see..."
Speaking of which, although Zhu Zhi still maintains the appearance of being pure and unmoved, he knows that this time, there is some trouble.
Two days ago, after the news was delivered to Wu County, Zhu Zhi went to ask for a meeting with Sun Quan, but Sun Quan did not see him at all. Then Zhu Zhi wrote a sincere memorial, and after delivering it, there was no reply.
Although Zhu Zhi was sitting in the mansion at the moment, pretending to be closed in, his mind was on the outside. If there was any slight disturbance, he would know it immediately.
Some people may think that Sun Quan killed the remnants of the Shi clan in order to sell favors to Liu Bei. In Zhu Zhi's mind, this may be part of the reason, but more of it should be to Zhu Zhi and other people who have made changes. People demonstrate.
"Sure enough, it's still Sun's tradition..." Zhu Zhi shook his head and muttered in a low voice, "Don't you want to change it?"
In fact, most people want others to change it, so that they can save themselves the trouble of not having to change it.
Zhu Zhi obviously didn't realize this problem, so he turned to Zhu Ran and asked, "What do you think?"
"I'm afraid that these gangsters are using their name to bully the family," Zhu Ran said thoughtfully, "In addition, the last time Mr. Gu came to ask for help, my father didn't reply... I'm afraid it has something to do with it..."
"Turn the world upside down, from outside to inside, this hand is used wonderfully..." Zhu Zhi nodded and said. Even if there is no Gu family behind the scenes, there is still some flavor.
Together they drag down the smell of water.
Jiangdong has a lot of water.
Only when we get into the water together and get wet together can we consider ourselves together.
This is tradition.
So if Jiang Dong and his gang didn’t do anything here, who would believe it? Unfortunately, the question now is, does Sun Quan know about this matter, or does he not know about it?
It was like putting on a show for a certain prefect when he came to inspect. On the surface, he pretended to have abundant supplies and the people were happy. The prefect smiled when he saw it, and the lower-level officials who followed him laughed. After the prefect left,
He just moved the collected supplies away again and gave two copper coins to the group performers to get rid of the problem.
Then, does this prefect know how to show off, or does he not know?
You know, why do you know? If you know, why do you pretend not to know? If you don’t know, why don’t you know? Since it is an inspection, isn’t it just to know, why don’t you know? The mystery of this is what Zhu Zhi encountered now.
There is a problem. Zhu Zhi must find out whether Sun Quan knows about this matter or not.
What? The two Chen brothers?
What does this have to do with the two Chen brothers? The two Chen brothers are just an introduction, and the key point of detonation will never be in the introduction.
Although Zhu Zhi is not known for his wisdom and cunning, he just thinks about these things more slowly. He can see clearly even if he thinks quietly at home. After all, Zhu Zhi is also in Jiangdong.
I've been dealing with these guys for quite some time.
With Zhu Zhi's approval, Zhu Ran went on to say: "My lord, my lord, by acting like this, I have offended the people of Jiangdong... Now the people of Jiangdong are counting on my lord, my lord, to advance and retreat with them... My lord, my lord."
I probably haven’t made up my mind yet... After all, if I do, there will be no room for maneuver..."
"The Lord is too ambitious and longs to be in the center, but he doesn't know that Jiangdong..." Zhu Ran continued in a deep voice, "Jiangdong has been different from the Central Plains since the pre-Qin Dynasty... How can Chu Feng and Qin Opera be the same?"
If everyone is upright and prosperous, we can work together to reform the old and make new things. But if the country is not peaceful, my lord, I am afraid that this old thing will be... difficult to achieve..."
Zhu Zhi nodded slightly, and the three strands of ink on his chin trembled.
Jiangdong doesn't need to be able to fight...
After all, everyone who could be beaten was either injured or dead.
It will take a hundred days to break the muscles and bones, and most of those who die will die without a burial place.
So Jiangdong only had a few things left that could be dragged away, dragging the good ones to damage and the bad ones to cripple.
Zhu Zhi and others were all like this, and even Lu Xun in the future played the procrastination card well, dragging Uncle Liu Huang to death, and then set him on fire, destroying hope.
Sun Quan wanted to move up, but the problem was that the Jiangdong people under Sun Quan didn't want to move.
Why, take the life and death of Jiangdong people to pave the way for Sun Quan?
Why?
Right?
Then people in Jiangdong think that making money is the most important thing. When Sun Quan fights Qingxu, he wants to ask whether he can make money. If Sun Quan fights against South Vietnam, he also wants to ask whether he can make money. But if he can't make money, don't even think about it, let alone listen to Sun Quan's orders.
Got to do things.
If you open a business road and everyone makes money together, it's no problem and everyone laughs together, but if you have to spend money, you'll fall out immediately.
Why is this happening? In fact, it is because Jiangdong is too far away from the Central Plains. In the early Han Dynasty, the center of the Han Dynasty was in Chang'an. Later, it was moved to Luoyang under Emperor Guangwu. However, whether in Chang'an or Luoyang, Jiangdong was a remote area.
This remoteness is not only geographical remoteness, but also includes psychological distance.
If a bowl of water cannot be treated equally, the Han Dynasty cannot talk about treating all counties and counties equally. Political differences naturally form regional cultural deviations.
It is natural for Zhu Zhi and Zhu Ran to be able to understand the truth and the truth. After all, he can survive to a certain extent in Jiangdong and still survive the fluctuations of the Sun family, so he is certainly not a fool.
Nowadays, the Gu family, or Jiangdong's group of people, want to take the opportunity to drag the Zhu family into the water. Zhu Zhi also knows it in his heart. After all, the Zhu Zhi family is not only half of Jiangdong, but also half of the veterans. Back then, Sun Jian and Sun Ce
At that time, Zhu Zhi represented the old-school forces among them. If Sun Quan really took action against Jiangdong, he would naturally need to honor these Huaisi foreign ministers and veteran generals in the army. And Jiangdong's group was likely to be suppressed.
,lost heavily.
It's a matter of personal wealth and power, so it's no wonder that the Gu family and the people from Jiangdong acted so cruelly...
Zhu Zhi was silent for a while and asked: "Is there any commotion around the county?"
Zhu Ran nodded and said: "This is natural. How can there be no discussion?"
Zhu Zhi nodded and said, "What about the army?"
"There is no news from the army yet," Zhu Ran replied.
Zhu Zhi nodded again, and then smiled.
Zhu Ran looked at Zhu Zhi's expression and said, "Father...could it be that the military is the key?"
Zhu Zhi stood up, then slowly walked forward, arrived in front of the hall, looked out of the courtyard, and said: "That's it. If the army doesn't move, it means it's not the right time. After all, as soon as the soldiers move, it will be day and night."
Spending money and food at night, even if you are prepared in advance, will not last long... If you are disturbed in the army again, causing the soldiers in the army to riot, then even if you march for days to suppress and deal with those who disturb the army... But the more this happens
, it further shows that the army is unstable... Once the army is in turmoil... Jiangdong... Hehe, hehe..."
Zhu Ran thought for a moment, and then asked: "Father, but it is impossible to drag it out like this..."
"Wait a minute, maybe there is someone..." Zhu Zhi looked up, "I always feel that this matter is not that simple..."
"Who?" Zhu Ran asked, and immediately followed Zhu Zhi's gaze, and after a while he suddenly said, "I see... what my father said is true..."
……ヽ(^o^)丿……
Mizuro.
Zhou Langmei.
Beauty is a habit, and it is also a self-promotion.
I am beautiful, so I am different from all other living beings.
But now, Zhou Lang didn't know what was beautiful, but he knew that he was annoyed.
Everyone knows that as Sun Quan grows older, his desire for power is also growing day by day. Now he is the Lord of Jiangdong, but Sun Quan wants more and bigger, and even thinks that he can ascend to the Three Sophora Towers.
Tang, kicked Cao Cao and Fei Qian down.
As Sun Quan's ambition flourished, it naturally brought more and more troubles.
Sun Quan's temper was getting worse and worse. Some of the servants in Sun's family had no idea what mistakes they made, but they were directly punished, scolded, or beaten, and some were beaten to death directly.
and was thrown into a mass grave. As a result, all the servants in the Sun family's house were doubly cautious and kept silent, for fear that they might accidentally provoke Sun Quan and be beaten to death, or
Life is worse than death...
Zhou Yu knew why.
Because it has been difficult for Zhou Yu to receive news about the happenings in Sun Quan's house recently.
There must be someone else's spy in the Sun family's house.
This is something that can be understood with your toes without even thinking about it in your head.
But the problem is that Sun Quan was too reckless in doing so.
Why can't you teach it?
Sometimes Zhou Yu also has a headache.
The best way is obviously not to kill them, because they will accidentally injure flowers and plants.
For Sun Quan, Zhou Yu, and some Jiangdong nobles, of course they knew that this was Sun Quan's spy to clean up the house, but for the ordinary servants in the Sun family house, they had no idea why such a horrific incident happened.
No one explained it to them, or in other words, even if it was explained, they might not be able to understand it.
So you don’t want to explain? The consequence of not explaining is that the servants of the Sun family will be frightened and uneasy. If they are uneasy, they will easily become resentful. If there is too much resentment, it will turn into hatred. Then it will be easier for other people to find some opportunities and give them some benefits.
, when necessary, these servants will become new informants...
Did Sun Quan not know this, didn't think of this, or did Sun Quan think of it, but he didn't care at all? Anyway, there are a large number of untouchables who would fight to become servants in the Sun family house, as long as Sun Quan gives more money.
The best way……
Zhou Yu looked back at his desk.
On the desk, there is a piece of information pressed with a piece of sapphire.
Information from Guanzhong.
The intelligence stated that the Hussars General seemed to have set up a special department in Guanzhong, which had begun to verify all officials, and then implicitly stated that replacements could be arranged as soon as possible, and at least there should be a deputy who can be used in Wanzhong.
Blocking a knife in one situation is not, but covering each other...
This is the correct approach. At least Zhou Yu believed that Fei Qian's approach was better than Sun Quan's.
The best way is to make specific people feel fear, rather than making everyone feel fear. Once everyone becomes afraid, it will only be bad and not conducive to doing things.
Suddenly there was some noise outside, Zhou Yu's eyebrows moved slightly, and someone reported, "My nephew has arrived and asked to see the governor."
Zhou Yu waved his hand to signal the visitor to come in.
After a while, some footsteps were heard. A person arrived in front of Zhou Yu Hall and bowed deeply, "My nephew pays homage to my uncle..."
Zhou Yu looked at the visitor and said calmly: "Sit down. Are you well at home?"
The visitor is Zhou Jun, the son of Zhou Yu's elder brother.
Zhou Yu had two or three brothers, but not many survived. Now only one Zhou Hui is still in Jiangbei, and Zhou Jun is the posthumous son of Zhou Yu's other brother.
The genes of the Zhou family are relatively good. Although Zhou Jun is not as handsome as Zhou Yu, his appearance is also dignified, with a slight beard. He looks majestic and majestic, but the weathered color on his face is heavier than that of Zhou Yu.
.
This is also helpless. After all, losing his father at a young age, even with Zhou Yu taking care of him, life is not so smooth. It is always harder than the average child with both parents.
It is precisely because of this that Zhou Jun started working as an official early to earn some salary to support his family.
"Thank you for your concern, uncle. Everything is fine at home." Zhou Jun saluted again, "Jia Ci also said that it would be disrespectful for me to pay my respects to my uncle after a long time..."
Zhou Yu smiled and nodded, "I have the intention... But I'm afraid it's not my sister-in-law who is talking about it, but... my lord is talking about it, right?"
"Ah?" Zhou Jun was startled and couldn't speak for a while.
