But Xiao Chen, as the governor of Yanyun County, was also a close friend of the Emperor of Zhou Dynasty... There was no problem for his close friends to come here to pay their respects even if they pretended to be here.
Xiao Chen finished reciting the 'imperial edict' and 'cryed loudly' in front of the soul. Only then was the entire procedure completed.
Under the grateful eyes of the shogunate, accompanied by Xiao Lin Haitang personally, he went into the thatched hut next to the mourning hall to drink tea to soothe his throat.
Others were too smart and didn't follow up.
"What the hell are you doing?" Ren Haitang felt angry after being tormented by him for a long time.
"You're welcome." Xiao Chen said while sipping the tea.
"Who asked you to come!" Ren Haitang became even more angry when he saw his kindness.
She hasn't closed her eyes since yesterday. She is exhausted physically and mentally. She just wanted to take a moment to squint, but you did it!
"Mr. Xiaolin Daoguang's spirit in heaven?" Xiao Chen said with a smile.
"Stop smiling at me!" Ren Haitang said angrily.
"Eh?" Xiao Chen said he was shocked, "How come you can change your face faster than you can turn the pages of a book?"
"You saved my life, so I will naturally be grateful to you, but don't think that because you have physical contact with me, you can be rude to me!" Ren Haitang said.
"Oh...didn't we agree that no one should mention what happened yesterday?" Xiao Chen said, "I've even forgotten it, why do you still remember it?"
She said in her heart that this woman is really ruthless. Yesterday, when the two of them were in love in the sea of her consciousness, she was so delicate and graceful, so flattering, but now she has such a face!
You really treat me like a scumbag. This is it.
Are you and Ren Tiantang biological sisters? You are both biological sisters, so why are there such big differences between women!
The gap is bigger than the difference between Yunxiu and Yunxiu.
"I know you are very talkative and I can't defeat you, but you have to remember that although you saved me and I am grateful to you, it doesn't mean I won't kill you!" Ren Haitang said.
"Kill me to silence me?" Xiao Chen said.
"I will do this if necessary." Ren Haitang said, "But I will also hold a grand funeral for you, which is worthy of you."
"Then you still have to kill Fatty and Yunxiu..." Xiao Chen said, "Can you come over?"
In fact, what it really means is, do you dare to kill the disciples of the four major families?
Did you kill it?
"Shaoyan Mingguang is looking for you?" Ren Haitang avoided the topic.
"Hmm." Xiao Chen said, "What do you think he wants from me?"
"Xiao Chen, I need your help." Ren Haitang knew what was going on without even guessing, so she was talking about something else.
"You want my help? Why haven't the Yin Talismans in your body been cleared yet?" Xiao Chen looked surprised, "But you are in mourning... This is really difficult to handle."
"Can you be more serious?" Ren Haitang suddenly realized that Xiao Chen might be much smarter than he thought.
"Sigh...if it wasn't for you...your sister Tiantang's sake, I actually wouldn't have to help you at all." Xiao Chen almost said it was for the sake of your biological father Qiu Xuanxuan, but then he thought about it.
Ren Haitang probably didn't know that Qiu Xuanzhan's soul came to find her, so there was no need to tell her.
I guess she actually wants to know the whereabouts of that secret book, right? Hey, you didn't expect it to have fallen into my hands!
"You have to understand that you are helping me and yourself." Ren Haitang said, "Do you think I don't know what you want to do? So although we have different paths, we can work together."
To put it bluntly, we are going to deal with Li Wanjiang together.
"What's the plan?" Xiao Chen said.
"First of all, my position as shogun must be firmly established, which requires the blessing of some military merit." Ren Haitang said.
"No, you, you still want to fight?" Xiao Chen said, "Who are you going to fight with?"
I don't care if you want to fight, but the question is who do you want to fight?
It's not like you want to hit me.
"Andinisa." Ren Tiantang said, "You should know this place, right?"
Of course Xiao Chen knew that Antinisa is actually a transliteration of Western language, which means 'archipelago in the sea', and Antinisa is just a general name. It is located in Southeast Asia and consists of thousands of large and small islands.
Nowadays, Andinisha is divided and occupied by several tribes from southern Xinjiang countries, including Siamese, Luzon people, Javanese, Chenla people, and Westerners...
Zheng Baiqing also told Xiao Chen last time that he wanted to send troops to occupy several islands. However, because the situation there was very complicated and Lingzhou's strength was not very strong at the moment, Xiao Chen thought it would be better to hold his troops still and wait and see what happens.
, and then take action.
Unexpectedly, Ren Haitang also intended to do this?
It turned out that Japan had previously sent a fleet to Baiyin Island to chase down the remnants of Nanchen Zhongtian, but encountered a strong storm on the way and damaged a lot of warships. In order to avoid the storm, they had to go to Antinisa to borrow ships.
Temporary shelter at the port.
But the Javanese navy stationed there thought that the Japanese were coming to attack them, and immediately launched a counterattack. As a result, the Japanese fleet was almost completely annihilated...
Although it was later confirmed that this was a misunderstanding, Liang Zike was also forged. Later, the Japanese high-level officials focused their strategy on the north and did not send any more fleets south.
Now that the situation in the north has undergone "extremely unfavorable" changes, the Japanese have to adjust their strategy and turn their attention to Nanyang again.
This is not to say that Emperor Shenzhao is very warlike, but that he urgently needs a victory to boost the morale of the army, stabilize the domestic situation that is already showing signs of turmoil, and consolidate his throne.
Ren Haitang, who had just ascended the throne as shogun, urgently needed to prove his ability and establish his prestige on the battlefield.
Since you want to start a war, you must first find an enemy. Yanyun, Dazhou, Rus, and Gao Juli are obviously not suitable. Siam, Luzon, and Java are also not suitable... Only the Borderland Andinisha is
A relatively good choice.
But Antinisha was too far away from the mainland of Japan. The abominable Li Wanjiang turned his back and broke the contract, and they were not allowed to garrison in Yizhou, thus losing a good transit place.
In this case, the attack on Antinissa would require a long-distance attack. Not to mention victory or defeat, first of all, supply was a big problem.
Therefore, although the Japanese military has formulated a preliminary attack strategy, it will still face many difficulties if it is implemented...
"What do you want to fight against Andinisha? What does it have to do with me?" Xiao Chen responded casually, but his mind was already racing.
"I need your help." Ren Haitang said.
"You want me to send troops?" Xiao Chen pretended to be shocked.
"Are you kidding?" Ren Haitang couldn't laugh or cry, "We just finished fighting, how can we join forces?"
"Ask me to pay, but I don't have any." It's impossible for Xiao Chen to pay.
"Who asked you to pay?" Ren Haitang said angrily.
"A stranger?" Xiao Chen smiled playfully, "Then I am willing to accompany you for a while."
