Su Wan knew Huayang very well. Huayang usually showed obedience and consideration to him just because she was in the right mood. If he really went overboard, he would definitely be rejected by her.
She was the high-ranking eldest princess. She was married into the Su family. Before getting married, the late emperor even asked the Ministry of Rites to re-edit the Su family tree to make him look like a good match for the eldest princess. Before the marriage, the female officials from the palace even came to the house.
Teach them the rules. Even if the princess gets married, she is still a princess. She is not the Su family's wife, let alone his Su Wan's wife. They are not allowed to violate the etiquette in the slightest.
After the princess got married, her mother treated her with great care, not daring to make any mistakes. On the surface, the Su family was no longer what it used to be, and they became royal relatives in the blink of an eye.
In fact, as long as the eldest princess says a word, they will lose everything, and everyone in the Su family will have to live a life of dependence on others.
This is everything that Princess Huayang brought to him.
Therefore, what Princess Huayang said about taking concubines for him and working hard for him was just to give him a chance to express her sincerity. How could he simply believe it?
Once Tian's affairs are exposed, Huayang will naturally not ask for his opinion and will arrange everything privately. If he ignores it, the superficial peace can still be maintained. As long as he bumps into him, Huayang will intensify his actions.
I won't give him any face.
It is impossible to say that Tian's letter was sent by Huayang's order.
Su Wan thought about it and reached out to light the oil lamp on the table, put the letter under the lamp and burned it clean. The firelight reflected the side of his face.
"There's no need to go inquiring about the news. You just need to keep an eye on the mansion and see who is coming in and out there."
Anyone who knows these secrets will die. He may no longer need Huayang, but he still has to maintain the emperor's trust in him.
After a moment of thinking, Su Wan decided to take advantage of this opportunity to send all those people into the hands of the Japanese, so that the Japanese could solve his serious problem.
Finally, his status as a widower can make a big fuss.
Something happened to Huayang, and the emperor could not blame him. He had no idea that Huayang had come to Changzhou.
"We have to leave immediately," Su Wan said, "to supervise the battle at sea." Things here no longer have anything to do with him. This is a foolproof plan.
Chang Shi responded: "I'll go get ready right away."
…
The Japanese ships were all equipped with artillery, and the firearms of the two armies fought first. Before the fleet even approached, the sea was already roaring.
The cannonballs fell into the sea, splashing sea water onto the ship, followed by arrows falling like rain, causing some people to fall into the water and others to fall to the ground.
The cannons purchased by the White Dragon King in advance from Folangji and the firearms purchased through the Zhang family finally came into use.
Song Chengxuan stared at the battle situation not far away. After a brief confrontation, Anyihou was about to prepare a storm.
"Sir," Xue Chen whispered, "I just came to report that the Japanese still have firecrackers in their hands."
Sure enough, since the Folang machine was installed, other firearms would naturally not be spared. If Su Wan wanted to attract the Japanese to attack the Zhou Dynasty, he would have to throw out enough things to seduce them.
The Japanese had suffered losses in firearms in the battle with the Zhou Dynasty, but they had always lacked experience in using firearms. The White Dragon King just made up for this, which gave the Japanese enough confidence.
Su Wan was really thoughtful in this regard.
The Japanese were coming with great force, and the Marquis of Anyi in front naturally had difficulties to deal with them.
Xue Chen didn't know what the young master was thinking. After meeting Miss Xu, he became more and more unsure of the young master's thoughts. In the past, he was sure that the young master would never help An Yihou, but now he dare not say such a thing.
Anything can happen, and Miss Xu can already influence the young master's decision on matters.
Song Chengxuan said calmly: "Keep an eye on Su Wan's boat and tell me when he comes to the sea." If Su Wan goes into the sea, it will prove that Xu Qinghuan's plan has been successful, and he will feel more at ease by trapping Su Wan at sea.
It was not until dusk that the sounds of firearms gradually became less intense.
Song Chengxuan raised his head. There was something wrong with his voice. He glanced at Zhao Tong, who immediately went out to inquire about the news.
After about a cup of tea, Zhao Tong came back and reported: "We stopped the fire first. It must be that Marquis Anyi did not bring enough firearms."
An Yihou's attack was aimed at a surprise attack. Since this was the case, he naturally had to travel lightly to facilitate temporary changes in course, and he must not carry too many firearms. Although they already knew that Su Wan must have revealed Anyi Hou's tactics to the Japanese, An Yihou
Hou could not make too many changes because of this. Su Wan must have placed an informant around Anyihou. Such an action would definitely alert the enemy, not to mention that Anyihou was deliberately showing weakness this time to lure the enemy deeper.
They had discussed before that Anyihou would be used as bait to attract the main force of the Japanese, and they would quietly go around behind the Japanese to find the fake White Dragon King.
The White Dragon King can command Japanese people to work for him because he can control the situation every time. This failure will immediately arouse the Japanese people's doubts. They will take the opportunity to reveal the true identity of the fake White Dragon King, and the Japanese people will naturally know that they have been deceived.
Neither the Japanese nor the pirates will allow anyone to manipulate them. They will definitely seek revenge on the White Dragon King, and by then the situation will be reversed.
Xue Chen looked at the calm expression on Song Chengxuan's face: "What should we do next?"
Song Chengxuan said calmly: "Act as planned."
Xue Chen breathed a sigh of relief. He was extremely surprised that the young master and Marquis An Yi had conspired in this matter. He did not ask them to help Marquis An Yi at this time. This showed that he was not completely swayed by his feelings. He hoped that it was not as bad as he thought.
…
The Changzhou general was just about to rest for a while when the deputy general came in and reported: "Marquis Anyi has already fought against the Japanese."
So fast.
Marquis An Yi was crazy for not waiting until dawn to take action.
The Changzhou commander got up and walked out. Standing on the bow of the ship, he saw fire not far away. It was rockets fired by both sides, followed by the deafening sound of artillery.
Changzhou's commander's face turned ugly: "This Marquis Anyi is too aggressive."
The lieutenant general said: "Should we reinforce Anyihou? The Japanese seem to have been prepared for it. This time Anyihou's surprise attack may be more disastrous than disaster."
"Let him go," Changzhou General Soldier snorted coldly, "I told him to stand still a long time ago, but he refused to listen. If something goes wrong, he still wants me to take the blame for him. I have already said that unless the Japanese come to attack with all their strength...
...Of course that is impossible, we will drag the Japanese to death at sea, and we may win without the death of so many soldiers."
When An Yihou is captured, the entire navy will obey his orders, and no one will be around to tell him what to do. In about two days, the body of An Yihou will be collected.
…
"Master Marquis," Marquis Anyi heard the deputy general's voice, "the Japanese are on board."
As expected, the Japanese were well prepared and gathered their elites to deal with them.
An Yihou wiped the sea water from his face. This was what they wanted. He turned his head and looked into the darkness. Since he had already negotiated with Song Chengxuan, he would try his best to do it. The more Japanese people were held back, the more people in Quanzhou would suffer.
The more confident a person is in winning.
After so many years, he never thought that he would have the opportunity to fight side by side with the people from the Wei Palace.
Although he has lost his former glory, he is not too old to be useful.
"Let them come," An Yihou held the spear in his hand, "I haven't been this happy for a long time." As he said this, he straightened his back and became more powerful.
