Yong Ye listened carefully and did not dare to say another word. When he exited, his feet were faster than anyone else. He wanted to behave well before the young master abandoned him.
Halfway through, I passed a person.
"Yongye, where are you going?"
Yong Ye glanced at Xue Chen and moved a little faster. The military advisor... is now a bad person who abducts children. He must draw a clear line now to prevent him from being harmed.
Yong Ye disappeared in a blink of an eye. Xue Chen was stunned there. What happened to this child? He ran away when he saw him these days. Yong Ye also looked cautious when standing in front of the young master. After all, he was a child who had not experienced the wind and rain.
, everything is a big deal in the eyes.
In his opinion, everything was normal after the young master returned to Quanzhou. He entered the military camp that night, and then deployed and prepared for the war. Quanzhou was full of joy because of the young master's return. Even though the young master was only a minor official on the surface, his prestige in the army
But it was very high. No one could match the prestige gained through life and death. He sat at the general position and watched the soldiers approaching the young master. He felt like he would be pulled down at any time, but this feeling
But he enjoyed it very much.
Xue Chen walked outside the big tent and saw the lights on. It was obvious that the young master was inside. There were people holding hands around the big tent. Ordinary people could not approach here, so they could talk freely.
Whenever this happens, the young master will ask, "Is the military advisor here?"
Just when Xue Chen thought of this, he heard someone say, "It must be the military advisor!"
Xue Chen smiled and walked into the military tent.
The two of them sat down and Xue Chen said, "The White Dragon King has appeared. Our scouts did not see the face of the White Dragon King and said that he was wearing a set of heavy armor that covered his face."
Song Chengxuan asked, "How old are you?"
Xue Chen said, "Around thirty or forty years old. He has received support from the old Japanese tribe in the Japanese country. He has integrated a lot of troops and is preparing to lead the troops himself."
This is different from what Song Chengxuan had inferred before, especially regarding the age of the White Dragon King. There are some discrepancies, but thirty or forty years old is still in the prime of life, so it is not impossible.
Xue Chen said, "Now that the war is imminent, the White Dragon King came forward to stabilize the morale of the army. Normally, there should be no problems. Unless he has a bigger plan, he will play tricks on this matter. I will let people continue to keep an eye on the White Dragon King."
, as long as there is any clue, I will send a letter back."
Song Chengxuan asked, "Have you found out the background of the White Dragon King?"
Xue Chen shook his head, "I just call myself a remnant of the previous dynasty. My ancestors were officials in the previous dynasty and were loved by the people, and the family was prosperous for a while. Later, war broke out, and the ancestors died fighting hard. The women and children of the family left their homeland to seek refuge.
This is just the usual method of the White Dragon King, to justify himself before going on an expedition, and his words are often exaggerated. It has been a hundred years since the founding of the Zhou Dynasty, and the White Dragon King's fleet is just these years, where did it come from the previous dynasty."
Song Chengxuan's dark eyes darkened slightly, "What he said is not the truth, but it may not be all lies."
Xue Chen said, "In any case, this White Dragon King is different from those ordinary Japanese. We must be more careful. The court does not give many manpower and the coastal defense line is weak. There are many flexible eagle ships in the White Dragon King's fleet, which can be turned around at any time."
Direction, we are planning a sneak attack, but there is good news..."
Xue Chen stroked his beard when he said this, "Marine merchants sent many Cangshan ships for our emergency use."
Another maritime trader.
Suddenly all the maritime merchants became enlightened and took the initiative to send these things instead of requisitioning them.
Xue Chen seemed to be feeling something and said, "Young master, a young hero, and with the help of others, it is really the right time, place, people and people. No matter what happens to An Yihou, we will definitely win a great victory. In the future...success is just around the corner.
I want to congratulate you, sir."
Song Chengxuan said nothing.
Xue Chen said, "Young Master, don't worry too much about the rest. Marquis An Yi and the eldest princess consort who supervises the war are in charge of Changzhou. They will try their best to figure it out. The one who is really suffering is Anyi Marquis." The imperial court suddenly arranged for the eldest princess and consort to be in charge. It was because they did not believe An Yi.
The situation of Marquis Anyi at this time can be imagined.
Song Chengxuan didn't know what he was thinking about.
Xue Chen's words came to my ears, "If I hadn't hoped that the people would not suffer due to the war, I would think that An Yihou brought the blame on himself and deserved this disaster. Even if he died in the battle, this should be his fate."
After Xue Chen finished speaking, he continued, "Our Quanzhou is considered the gateway to the southeast. If we guard it very well, the southeast will definitely be in the young master's pocket in time. Everyone in the world will be willing to rely on the strong. Then everything will become logical."
Xue Chen's eyes flashed brightly.
"So the young master should never do anything dangerous again. The most important thing is to take care of yourself." Xue Chen had long wanted to persuade him, but he was afraid that the young master wouldn't listen. Now that everything is stable, he can finally give his advice.
Song Chengxuan raised his head and said calmly, "I understand, but neither Quanzhou nor Changzhou should be ruined by the war. If we only care about our own safety, it is not what our Quanzhou Navy should do.
Whenever we find that Changzhou is in danger, we will definitely send more troops there to repel the Japanese to defend the southeast gate. This is something that military advisors must not forget."
Xue Chen naturally understood this truth, "I will arrange reinforcements so that the young master can feel at ease."
Xue Chen walked out of the camp, and Song Chengxuan looked at the dancing lights. He had never thought of standing idly by when the Japanese invaded. Since he was a general of the Zhou Dynasty, he had to guard the country's gates in order to give an explanation to the people.
But that's all he can do. As the military advisor said, he still has things he must accomplish, and he cannot act arbitrarily, which would be a disservice to the soldiers around him who have been with him through life and death.
He hoped that there would be no more mistakes on her side. If something went wrong again, he would be helpless.
…
Changzhou.
The seventh lady looked at the account in her hand, and then handed it to Xu Qinghuan, "According to what you said, we have done everything we can. Those Cangshan boats, but our entire wealth, after meeting you, all I have done is loss-making business."
."
"That's not necessarily the case," Xu Qing said with a smile, "If we are no longer allowed to trade in the future, it will be useless for Madam to keep the Cangshan Ship. Taking it out now can be considered as a contribution to this war.
Not for immediate benefits, but for long-term considerations. This move will not only allow the merchants to prove their innocence, but also regain the trust of the court, which can be regarded as solving the urgent needs of the merchants. After the war, the merchants will definitely regard his wife as her boss."
The Seventh Lady sighed, "People's hearts are fickle, and I'm afraid that after the crisis is over, no one will remember this."
Xu Qinghuan said, "At least after the war, when the market was re-established, my wife had the right to speak. This is more important than anything else."
The seventh lady looked at Xu Qinghuan deeply. "You understand," she said, with a flash of interest in her eyes. "Have you ever thought about doing business here? It's much more interesting than being at home." She didn't expect this delicate girl.
The eldest lady disguised herself as her "cousin" and followed her to Changzhou. She also stayed with her, lobbying the maritime merchants to help her control the situation, and she seemed so comfortable with it.
Before Xu Qinghuan could say anything, a servant came to report, "Madam, someone from the government office has arrived outside the door."
The seventh lady looked at Xu Qinghuan, probably because of the Xie family's case.
