Chen De was very surprised when he heard Ning Xiaofan's words, and quickly said: "General Ning, don't worry, I, Chen De, am definitely not that kind of corrupt person. General Ning gave me such an important place as Jiangxin City. This
This shows that General Ning trusts me, and I, Chen De, will definitely live up to General Ning’s high expectations for me."
Ning Xiaofan nodded and said, "That's very good."
Suddenly an old man walked in outside.
The old man is none other than Jin Chanzi.
Seeing Jin Chanzi coming, everyone present immediately saluted like Jin Chanzi.
But Chen De had a confused look on his face. It was obvious that he didn't know Jin Chanzi, let alone who Jin Chanzi was. But when they saw Li Hu, Li Kun and Lu Wen, they were all very interested in the old man in front of them.
respect, which made him a little confused.
You must know that Li Hu and Li Kun are all senior generals of the Ning family army. They are also relatively rough people and do not look down upon anyone. But when facing the old man in front of them,
They were so respectful. It was obvious that this old man must be extraordinary.
Therefore, he did not dare to look down upon him, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Old man, I don't know why you are here?"
Jin Chanzi glanced at him and said flatly: "Looking for a disciple."
When Chen De heard what he said, he immediately laughed and said: "Old man, this is the General's Mansion. I'm afraid there are no disciples of yours here. We are discussing important matters here, so I would like to invite you..."
"master!"
At this moment, Ning Xiaofan, who was sitting in the upper position, suddenly said to Jin Chanzi with a smile.
Ning Xiaofan's words shocked Chen De.
Chen De is a smart man, so when he heard Ning Xiaofan's words, he immediately understood what was going on. It was obvious that the old man in front of him must be Ning Xiaofan's master, and Ning Xiaofan was this
The old man calls him his disciple.
Chengde quickly said: "It turns out that the old gentleman is General Ning's master. It's disrespectful and disrespectful. The boy Chen De is too blind to see Taishan. I hope that the old gentleman will not blame you."
"I'm sure I won't blame you. I'm not that stingy. And I heard that now that you are my disciple's subordinate, we are our own people. I have always been tolerant towards my own people.
Jin Chanzi then looked at Ning Xiaofan and said, "I see there are a lot of people outside who want to see you. I should meet you at this time."
Ning Xiaofan was a little confused when he heard Jin Chanzi's words.
He had just come in not long ago, and he really hadn't heard that anyone wanted to see him. More importantly, these people were right outside the door. This was a bit abnormal. He turned to look at Chen De.
Chen De quickly said: "General Ning, uh, he is from several other families. They really want to see you, but I think you have just entered the city, so you should rest first before going to see them. After all, if you give them too much
If you want to save face, they will look down upon General Ning."
Ning Xiaofan said: "So that's it, it doesn't matter. Since they are all local gentry in Xincheng, we should meet them. After all, we have to let them know who they should be loyal to now. What's more, we should let them know.
Who will these people pay taxes to in the future?"
Chen De heard this and said quickly: "What General Ning said is very reasonable. I will let them come in and pay tribute to General Ning."
Then he walked out quickly, said a few words to his men at the door, and then turned back.
Jin Chanzi walked up to Ning Xiaofan and said, "What did you say just now? Did you mean to say that this territory is now ours, and did you also say the same to the Song Dynasty?"
"I think you can say that. Besides, the Song Dynasty probably doesn't dare to claim this territory."
Jin Chanzi said: "Why don't they want this territory? This was originally their territory, but it was occupied by the Yuan army before. Now that the Yuan army has withdrawn, they will naturally want their territory back."
At this time, Li Hu said: "Fight them if they dare to come and ask for it? It's nothing."
Jin Chanzi immediately looked at Li Hu.
When Li Hu saw Jin Chanzi looking at him, he immediately closed his mouth and did not dare to say anything more.
Ning Xiaofan said: "With our current strength, it is obviously unrealistic to fight with the Song State with real swords and guns. However, the current Song State really does not have the strength to dare to return to this place.
, even if they want to, they will never dare to speak, because if they take this territory away again, all the anger of the country will be killed on them. Even if Yuan Guo will not take action now, all the Yuan Guo will
All hatred will be in Song Dynasty
This is something the Song State absolutely does not want to see, so they will never dare to take away this territory easily, because for them, this territory is actually a hot potato now.
It might be better to put it on the ground first, and wait until the hot potato has cooled down a bit before they can pick it up. But by the time the hot potato can be picked up by hand, I'm afraid it's no longer up to them.
It's time."
Jin Chanzi said: "Then what are you thinking now? How do you want to make Song State give up this piece of fat?"
"It's very simple. With our Pangu Army guarding here, our Pangu area will still be regarded as the territory of the Song Kingdom in the future, but we will be autonomous within the Pangu area."
"Pangu area?" Jin Chanzi said with a puzzled look.
At this time, Li Hu chuckled and said: "Senior Jin, Mr. Ning just gave the territory we occupied a name called Pangu. From now on, the people on our territory will be Pangu people. If we build a country in the future,
Then we are the Pangu Kingdom, and we all think it is very good. Senior Jin, do you think there is anything else that needs advice?"
Jin Chanzi smiled and said: "Pangu haha, this name is loud enough, and I think it's pretty good. From now on, we will all be Pangu people. Xiaofan, I roughly understand what you mean, that is to say, let's make it clear."
Let the Song State know that our area belongs to a territory that is subject to the Song State, and this territory is different from other areas. We manage it ourselves, and at the same time block the pressure from the Yuan State for the Song State, right?"
Ning Xiaofan said: "Yes, that's what I envisioned. But at the moment, I don't know the situation on the Song side and whether they will agree."
Jin Chanzi said: "I think they will definitely agree. After all, we are closer to the Yuan Kingdom. Although they don't have a good impression of us, they are still much stronger than the wolf, tiger and leopard of the Yuan Kingdom. After this
After the war between the Song and Yuan Dynasties, the current Yuan Kingdom was simply number one in the world to the Song Kingdom.
The powerful enemy of the Yuan State, everyone in the Song State will know very well in their hearts. If we had not intervened, the Song State would have had the only way to destroy the country, so it is up to us to block the pressure from the Yuan State. This is in vain for the Song State.
Of course, there is no benefit but no harm. The only disadvantage is that we lose these hundreds of miles of territory."
Ning Xiaofan said: "Yes, I think so too, that's why I dare to imagine this. However, before that, we must win these territories as soon as possible. Only by controlling all these territories in our hands, can we
Only the Song State will negotiate with us, and even the Yuan State will look at us seriously."
Jin Chanzi nodded and said, "This is correct. Now that we have thought about this strategy, we will follow your strategy."
Ning Xiaofan nodded.
Just then, five or six people came outside.
Jing Xiaofan recognized these people at a glance. They were all people who had a party at Chen's house last night.
They are all the patriarchs of various families.
It was obvious that they came here for Ning Xiaofan.
They have now also heard that Chen De from the Chen family has been in contact with Ning Xiaofan. They were very angry when they learned about these things.
Because they originally thought that they and the Chen family should be in an alliance, but what they didn't expect was that after Ning Xiaofan led the Ning family army to take over the new city, the Chen family didn't even say hello to them and got close to Ning alone.
Xiaofan.
This situation of eating alone makes everyone very disgusted.
So when these people walked into the lobby of the General's Mansion, their faces were very ugly after seeing Chen De.
But after walking in, they immediately felt a little uneasy, because there were several people in front of them, but it was really hard to tell which person was the real leader, and there was an old man among them, and there was a young man in his early 20s next to the old man.
, in their eyes, neither this old man nor this young man is probably the leader.
So after they came in, you looked at me and I looked at you, and they didn’t even know what to say.
"Gao Quan, what are you doing here? How come you don't even have the courtesy to see General Ning? Is it possible that you don't even have General Ning in your eyes?"
Chen De's words were obviously extremely vicious. When those people heard Chen De's words, their faces became even more angry.
They couldn't have imagined it.
Originally, they didn't know who General Ning was, but now that Chen De said this, it simply put them in a bad position.
Of course, Ning Xiaofan is very clear about Chen De's thoughts. Chen De is now very afraid that Ning Xiaofan will get too close to people from these families in front of him, because that will greatly damage the Chen family's status in front of Ning Xiaofan.
Yes, and he is now more and more convinced that Ning Xiaofan is different from other generals. He is a man with the world in mind, so if he is popular in front of Ning Xiaofan, he will definitely bring his entire family with him in the future.
Rapidly prosperous.
Chen De was absolutely unwilling to give this opportunity to anyone else. He just wanted to leave this opportunity to the Chen family forever.
However, it is absolutely impossible for Ning Xiaofan to let one family dominate Xincheng forever. This will not do him any good.
