The five hundred and fourteenth chapter meet (two)
Information dissemination in today's world is inefficient and slow, and people lack sufficient mobility.
Don't look at it. During the Jinling War, many of Chuzhou's intentions were directly frustrated at the hands of Han Qian. Everyone wanted to catch Han Qian and lay waste to his ashes. However, the entire Huaidong had actually met Han Qian face to face and recognized him.
There are very few people with a face like Han Qian's.
Even if there are, almost all of them are concentrated around Wang Jun.
In addition to wearing a patched old clothes to hide his identity, Han Qian had not shaved for several days and his stubble was a bit messy. He did not change his face to disguise himself. He walked up the stairs and sat calmly in front of the window.
There are three other people on the second floor of the teahouse. They are the manager of the Wang family in Jianyuan and Wang Wenqian's two personal guards.
Wang Wenqian's two personal bodyguards had served with Yin Peng in the Chuzhou Pavilion in their early years, and the steward of Jianyuan had followed the boss Wang Jixiong to Xuzhou to mourn Han Daoxun. Naturally, they all recognized Han Qian.
In addition to these three people, several people came up from downstairs at this time.
They had a look of astonishment on their faces. They must have recognized Han Qian's face just now, but they never expected that it was actually Han Qian himself. They didn't report anything. They were so surprised that they couldn't help but go upstairs to see what happened and see if it was true.
They were dazzled.
These people were precisely the maids around Wang Jun and the four soldiers who had been guarding the street and the tea shop just now. They were "captured" with Wang Jun in Maoshan.
Seeing the weird atmosphere on the second floor of the tea shop, these people quickly shrank back without waiting for the punishment, but the expressions on their faces were extremely rich, so rich that Wang Wenqian wanted to scold his mother when he saw it: This grandson is a killer.
, suddenly appearing in Yangzhou is definitely a disaster rather than a blessing for Wang Wenqian. Do you, your grandsons, really think that Wang Wenqian’s uncle is here to recognize his family?
Wang Wenqian had a gloomy face and glanced at Wang Jun beside him. Wang Jun lowered his head and secretly looked at Han Qian, confirming that she did not know anything about it beforehand. He thought that she was not so stupid as to join forces with outsiders to plot against his father, so he sat down.
He straightened up, stared at Han Qian and asked: "The Marquis of Qianyang is also the lord of Fanzhou now. He left the town without permission. Presumably the Marquis of Qianyang does not need Wang to remind him, and he knows very well what the crime is, right?"
"Xuzhou has poor mountains and rivers, and is a barren and swampy land. Living there for a while will make people bored. I secretly ran out to take a breath. I was still thinking that I was an old friend with Mr. Wang. It would be no problem to come here to ask for two glasses of water and wine. But,
I don’t want Mr. Wang to scare me with this matter just after we met, Mr. Wang, I really misjudged you." Han Qian said calmly.
Han Qian said it easily, but Wang Wenqian couldn't be the least bit relaxed.
Yin Peng stood in front of the window and did not sit back at the table. However, after observing the window for a moment, Yin Peng's expression became more solemn. Wang Wenqian also knew very well that the area around the tea shop should be under the control of Xuzhou's lurking personnel at this moment.
They only had dozens of guards and servants downstairs, and there was no way to spread the news in a short period of time. They had to mobilize troops from nearby military camps, so they had no way to take the initiative.
This also shows that Han Qian spent a lot of time planning for this meeting, and then deliberately lured him to Zhuyu Bay to meet him in the name of a juggler in Guangde Mansion.
Han Qian's purpose was clear, but Wang Wenqian had to guess Han Qian's motives and intentions in a very short period of time. How could his expression and mood be relaxed?
Seeing Wang Wenqian's serious expression and his unsmiling expression, Han Qian asked, "Would you like to ask the irrelevant people to leave so that I can reminisce about old times with Mr. Wang?"
"There is nothing irrelevant. If the Marquis of Qianyang has anything to say, please tell me." Wang Wenqian was so angry that he invited everyone in the tea shop downstairs to come upstairs to watch. He was not willing to discuss anything with Han Qian. Some things are not Qing Dynasty.
Zi Qing said, "Since Marquis Qianyang dares to show up in Huaidong, he probably won't be afraid of Huaidong coming to His Majesty to complain no matter what he says."
"That's right. Your Majesty must be willing to believe whatever Huaidong says," Han Qian said with a smile. "Although life in Xuzhou has not been easy in the past year or so, when Li Zhigao successfully captured Chao
Zhouzhou, it’s Huaidong’s turn to have a hard time. By the way, I’m also going to write to Your Majesty to give him some advice on how to make Huaidong become trapped in a cocoon—Master Wang, are you interested in hearing it?”
Wang Wenqian looked gloomy and did not say a word.
Han Qian asked: "His Royal Highness King Xin sent his troops to retreat north, coercing tens of thousands of descendants of the family clans and hundreds of thousands of slaves to cross the river - An Ning Palace plotted to murder the late emperor and usurp the throne. These people had an affair with An Ning Palace. It is really disgusting. King Xin
They deserve the punishment His Highness punished them, but His Majesty is generous and merciful and allows them to serve their crimes in Huaidong, or form an army of their own to attack the rebels or Liang captives. I believe that neither His Highness King Xin nor His Majesty the King can stop them, right?"
Regardless of whether Wang Wenqian's face looked ugly or not, Han Qian thought to himself and said: "There are thousands of people in Chu, and their salt depends on Huaidong. However, there are 40,000 kitchen households who are cheating and cheating. Your Majesty should use the system of garrison and military mansion."
By organizing the kitchen households, this will not only prevent the kitchen households from cheating and cheating, and pick out one out of ten, but also organize three to four thousand elite salt soldiers to patrol the salt roads to prevent the proliferation of illegal salt and the proliferation of bandits. By the way, in order to facilitate this,
I worked out a new method of drying salt in Xuzhou, which can eliminate some of the shortcomings of the current method of boiling salt. However, it requires a more orderly and large-scale organization of kitchen households to implement it. Once the new method is completed, it will be possible every year.
Increase revenue by 400,000 to 500,000 dans of sea salt. Of course, if we eliminate the private salt that flows into Huaidong, we can increase the revenue by at least 100,000 dans of sea salt..."
"...Chuzhou is south of Hongzepu, and the rebel navy is very powerful. Xiaota River, Shiliang River, Changjin River and other water can enter and exit the Yangtze River, threatening Jinling's bed. At this time, there is no chance to take Shouzhou from the north.
The Forbidden Army should gather heavy troops and station them in Chuzhou, and then slowly plan to seize Shouzhou..."
"What benefits can Xuzhou gain by doing this?" Wang Wenqian couldn't help but retorted.
"Shang Wensheng died in Donglu Mountain, and Mr. Wang was behind the scenes to add fuel to the flames. What benefits did he get?" Han Qian asked.
"The Marquis of Guizhou Yang came all the way to Yangzhou, isn't he just here to raise an army to investigate the crime?" Wang Wenqian narrowed his eyes and stared at Han Qian and asked.
"I returned to Xuzhou, saying that I have nothing to do with Guangde Mansion anymore, but there are people who stir up trouble, especially those like Mr. Wang who add fuel to the flames. And if Guangde Mansion really wants to cause a big chaos, I don't know what will happen.
I don’t know how many people will be killed or injured, and how many people will be displaced. I guess some people will blame me for these things. In the end, no matter how clean I am, I am still a sinner of history - Mr. Wang, I
To tell you the truth, I am also very troubled." Han Qian sounded as if he came here just to complain to Wang Wenqian, "So, I can only work hard and come here to beg Mr. Wang to show your respect in the future.
Don't get excited and add fuel to the flames when you see the old Zuo Guangde Army and go do something. Of course, Mr. Wang may not be able to take charge of this, but please tell Mr. Wang that since I took the trouble to make this trip,
I still hope His Highness King Xin can give me some thin noodles!"
Wang Wenqian stared at Han Qian uncertainly and asked: "What the Marquis of Qianyang means is that in the past, the old Zuo Guangde Army had nothing to do with the Marquis of Qianyang, but from now on, the old Zuo Guangde Army has nothing to do with the Marquis of Qianyang."
Does it matter?"
"Since I've tried every possible means to get rid of the relationship, I'm at a loss, Mr. Wang, don't you think so?" Han Qian asked with a smile, "Besides, this matter can't be considered a bad thing for Huaidong, right?
"
Wang Wenqian frowned slightly and said: "I understand what Marquis Qianyang said - apart from this matter, does Marquis Qianyang have anything else to advise?"
"No more," Han Qian clapped his hands and stood up, saying, "It seems that I am not a person popular with Lord Wang, so I won't disturb Lord Wang anymore - I will stay alone in Zhuyu Bay. I believe that His Highness the King has
Any reply can be conveyed through him."
Abnormalities here may alert the garrison south of Zhuyu Bay at any time, and no matter what Wang Yang Yuanyan decides in the end, Wang Wenqian will find a way to temporarily detain him, so Han Qian cannot stay here for too long.
After saying these words, Han Qian, Xi Rong, Kong Xirong and others went downstairs and left.
Wang Wenqian and Yin Peng stood in front of the window and saw Han Qian, Xi Rong, and Kong Xirong walking into the inn opposite. Then they saw three carriages coming out of the backyard of the inn opposite and going in three directions, making them unable to tell.
Which carriage did Han Qian hide in when he left Zhuyu Bay?
On the long street, people and horses from Xuzhou were obviously lurking in. They also followed the three carriages and fled in three directions.
"They must cross Hangou as quickly as possible and escape to Chuzhou." Yin Peng gritted his teeth and said, obviously he suggested sending someone to summons at this time and deploying troops and horses as quickly as possible to blockade the line along Hangou.
, search for any ship that looks suspicious.
"Look across the way." Wang Wenqian gestured to Yin Peng to look at the window on the second floor of the inn opposite. There were arrow clusters in the corners of the windows flashing in the sunset. It was obvious that Han Qian still left his troops behind. As long as they made any movement, these troops would be very dangerous.
They might attack by force to give Han Qian more time to escape.
"He played riddles for a long time and then left. What did he want to do?" Yin Peng asked bitterly. They only had a dozen people around them and they really didn't dare to act rashly.
"Uncle Yin, Han Qian seems to be hinting that Zuo Guangde's old army will rely on Yangzhou to gain a foothold, and the imperial court noticed that Zuo Guangde's old army was still following Han Qian's instructions, and the suspicion of Huaidong will drop to Xuzhou...
..." Wang Jun said in a soft voice, looking out the window. She didn't know which carriage Han Qian was hiding in and then fled away. She thought that she had been coming to Zhuyu Bay for the past three days, but she didn't
I couldn't say a word, and I don't know how long he will stay in Chuzhou, and I don't know if there will be a chance to meet again...
