Chapter 715

(for monthly ticket! For collection!)

Chen Xiaoru was promoted by Fang Xie. At the beginning, Luo Weiran transferred three people from the bodyguard to follow Fang Xie. Nie Xiaoju is now the deputy commander of Fang Xie's personal battalion. He and Qilin can frighten a large number of people with the personal battalion. Yan Kuang still works in Xiaoqi school, but Yan Kuang is too straightforward and simple, so Fang Xie didn't arrange any particularly important positions for him, but gave him a position second only to Chen Xiaoru in Xiaoqi school.

A while ago, Yan Kuang escorted Mu San to the capital, but after arriving in the capital, Mu San separated from him. Mu San didn't know what Yan Kuang had been arranged. Mu San can't contact Yan Kuang, but Yan Kuang can contact him at any time. It can be seen that the great internal guard office still operates a force that can not be underestimated in the capital, and Luo Weiran, the real commander of the great internal guard office, now sits in Zhuque mountain.

Chen Xiaoru is the safest of the three. As he experiences more and more things, he becomes more and more calm and decisive.

Let him say that there is something not very good, then it must be worth paying attention to.

"What's up?"

Fang Xie asked.

Chen Xiaoru approached and said in a low voice: It was a long time ago that Andrew's younger brother and sister came from Ross to take a lot of trouble. The original act was still hidden and did not cause the attention of the locals. But after the eastern Chu Dynasty, the boat replenish the supplies. Unexpectedly, a few Ross people met Andrew's younger sister, thinking that they were helpless from Ross's country. , I was taught a lesson by the people who sent goods all over the world. "

Fang Xie was slightly stunned. It sounded very general, but Fang Xie knew what a spark was.

"If it's on the ground of the Central Plains, none of the Ross people can go back alive. But in the East Chu, people with goods flowing down the sky can't be too presumptuous. After all, the relationship between the East Chu and the Ross people is very close. But the East Chu has been under strict control and doesn't allow the Ross people to have direct trade with the Central Plains. My subordinates are just worried..."

Fang Xie felt a little uncomfortable. He heard San jinhou mention it. Just because he knew that the foreign country on the other side of the ocean was quite strong, the merchants of Eastern Chu did not allow the Russians to come, and the fleet of Eastern Chu had been blocking the coastline. But now, the Russians actually appeared in Eastern Chu

"My subordinates have arranged for people to go to Dongchu to inquire as soon as possible. My subordinates are worried that... Dongchu has been suppressed by the big Sui Dynasty. Except for the admirable Navy, Dongchu is almost impossible to win the big Sui Dynasty on the mainland, even now. Yang Shunhui, one of the court's assistant ministers, ran to Dongjiang. In addition, Mu's house is in the northeast, so even if the people of Dongchu know that the big Sui Dynasty is in chaos, There is no chance to take advantage. "

"The people of the state of Ross appeared in the eastern Chu this time. I'm afraid there is some collusion between the royal family of the eastern Chu and the people of the state of Ross. The eastern Chu wants to take back more than half of the territory occupied by the Sui Dynasty with the strength of one country. The eastern territory of the Sui Dynasty has not been affected by the war, and the border army system is complete. The two guards controlled by the Mu house and the new left and right guards of Yang Shunhui are also there. Will the people of the eastern Chu I want to use the firearms of the Ross people... "

Chen Xiaoru paused and looked at Fang Xie's face.

"Did you see the Russian warship at the Dongchu wharf when the people who went down through the sky came back?"

Fang Xie asked.

"No"

Chen Xiaoru replied: "Although the people with goods all over the world didn't deliberately check this matter, because they beat the people of Russia and worried about any conflict, they specially observed that there was only one merchant ship with the logo of Russia, which was very small and had no official logo of Russia. In addition, their subordinates analyzed that the people of Russia knew Andrew's sister. Andrew was a poor man in Russia , it can be seen that those people will not have a high status. "

Fang Xie felt a little more secure.

The current black flag army has no ability to influence the eastern Chu and the eastern territory of the great Sui Dynasty. There is no doubt about the control of the Mu government over the eastern territory, and the new two guards of Yang Shunhui can not be underestimated. Coupled with the well-established border army in the eastern territory, the people of the eastern Chu are not stupid enough to declare war on the great Sui Dynasty. Moreover, although the great Sui Dynasty is chaotic, the great Sui Dynasty is still the biggest source of interest for the merchants of the eastern Chu Dynasty Once the great Sui Dynasty fought with the eastern Chu, the great Sui Dynasty blocked the business road, and the eastern Chu suffered great losses.

"The eastern Chu royal family should not be so stupid..."

After thinking about it, Fang Xie ordered: "send competent people to the East with my famous post to visit the general of Mu house and Yang Shunhui respectively. Please pay attention to the border defense of the East. Although I have no contact with the people of Mu house, I still have a few friends with General Yang Shunhui."

"Here"

Chen Xiaoru responded, took out the second secret letter and handed it to Fang Xie: "This is a secret report from Zhuque mountain. Andrew and his team have successfully improved the configuration of gunpowder, which is much more powerful than before. The trial products of artillery have also been successful. After the trial firing, they will start mass casting. However, the conditions of the workshop are limited. Even if they start working day and night, it is still difficult to reach the equipment firearm camp in a short time."

"In addition..."

Chen Xiaoru said, "Jin Shixiong seems to have a vague idea of what we should do in exchange for a large amount of iron ore. since last month, he began to make things difficult. Over the past year, the grain he exchanged from us with ore has been enough for him to use for a while, so he began to be dishonest."

"The southwest is rich..."

Chen Xiaoru sighed and said, "but there is no iron ore, and the northwest is poor, but it must be more than the iron ore in Jin Shixiong's hand. Most of the military industries in the Sui Dynasty were built in the northeast, and there are iron ores in the northern regions and eastern regions. If our firearm Camp wants to develop, it will be too bad to exchange iron ore in this way."

Fang Xie nodded: "when I clean up Nanyan first... There is no iron ore in the southwest, but Nanyan has. After killing Nanyan, I don't need to bargain with Jin Shixiong. No one likes to be coerced, so Jin Shixiong is really not a material for doing business."

"Teach him a lesson?"

Chen Xiaoru asked tentatively.

"First, check how many spies Jin Shixiong sent in Huangyang road can pull. In addition, let Duan Zheng's Navy patrol back and forth in the huangniu River to stop all traffic in Hebei. Jin Shixiong has enough food in his hand for up to three months, or on the basis of not expanding the army. He wants to threaten me with iron ore because he wants to expand the army... In addition, let San jinhou order, All commercial firms are not allowed to provide any goods to the northwest, no matter what! "

"Here!"

Chen Xiaoru leaned over and said, "my subordinates will leave first."

Fang Xie waved his hand: "go... In addition, after the destruction of Xinyang City, let Dugu Wenxiu come to Yongzhou to see me immediately."

"Here!"

……

……

Fang Xie poured himself a cup of tea and handed it to sun Kaidao sitting opposite. Sun Kaidao, who had just arrived from Zhuque mountain camp on Huangyang Road, obviously didn't adapt. He quickly got up and picked up the tea cup with both hands. Since Fang Xie went south, the civil official who was first in the black flag army and even second only to Fang Xie for a period of time has become idle. Except that Fang used him during the negotiation with beihui Road, he has not been arranged to do anything since.

As a result, his position in the black flag army was gradually replaced by the rising star Dugu Wenxiu. Now Dugu Wenxiu has been appointed governor of huangyangdao by Fang Xie, and the civil affairs of huangyangdao, the prime minister, and even the military affairs of Xinyang City have been entrusted to him and Chen Dongshan. It can be said that there is no second civilian official in Zhuque mountain camp.

"Mr. Lawton, I was going to give you a night's rest and invite you to talk tomorrow. I didn't expect you to come directly to me when you arrived in Yongzhou."

Fang Xie smiled, pointed to the chair and said, "sit down and talk. There are so many rules between you and me."

Sun Kaidao's face was a little different. His hand holding the cup trembled slightly.

"General, find your subordinates, but what's your order?"

Sun Kaidao asked in a low voice.

"Nothing..."

Fang Xie smiled gently: "It's just that I haven't seen my husband for a while, so I'm worried. I remember that when I first went north from Huangyang Road, it was with the help of my husband that I could gradually gain a foothold in the northwest. Later, I led the army to the east to save the former emperor. My husband led the troops to guard the langrushan camp, which was very safe for both military and civil affairs. It was precisely because of my husband's presence that I could safely and boldly lead the troops out to enlist War. "

"Later, sir pointed out that he went to the grassland for development, which coincided with me. If he had not gone to the grassland, there would have been no cavalry of the black flag army later. After returning to Huangyang Road, Mr. Zhang still managed the reclamation of farmland. In the first year, hundreds of thousands of mu of wasteland were opened. Without Mr. Zhang, the logistics supply of Zhuque mountain camp would not be so complete."

"The general praised falsely. That's what his subordinates should do."

"Yes... My duty..."

Fang Xie seemed to repeat it to himself, and sun Kaidao's face immediately became ugly again. Originally, Fang Xie's warm words before made his worries relax a little, but this sentence tightened his heart again.

"General... Subordinates..."

Fang Xie glanced at him: "why, sir, have something to say?"

Sun Kaidao was silent for a long time, and finally shook his head: "No."

"Well"

Fang Jie let out a sigh of disappointment. He got up and went to the window. The night outside was open for a long time. Sun Kaidao sat in his chair and looked at the cup in his hand.

I don't know how long it took. Fang Xie looked back and smiled at him: "Sir, I'm tired of driving all the way. I'd better go back and have a rest. If anything, I'll wait until dawn."

Sun Kaidao opened his mouth and hesitated for a while. Then he got up and saluted: "my subordinates will leave."

"Go"

When sun Kaidao reached the door, Fang Xie suddenly said in a very light tone: "take good care of your body, sir. The climate between the north and the South has become much worse. Yongzhou is wetter than Huangyang road. Sir is from the north. Pay more attention..."

"Ah?"

Sun Kaidao was stunned, then said thanks and left quickly.

After sun Kaidao left for a long time, Fang Xie sighed and said to himself, "if you don't say something, I can't say it. If you mention it yourself, everything can be said well... If I mention it first, will I kill you?"

……

……

Sun Kaidao didn't sleep all night and paced back and forth in the room. He thought about what he had done with Fang Xie in recent years from beginning to end, thinking about how much credit he had made and how many mistakes he had made. Throughout the night, he made a wrong comparison between one credit and another, and then found that if all the credit was taken away, he should still be beheaded.

Take bribes, buy and sell official positions, and have contact with Jiangnan aristocratic family. These things, on others, which are enough to be killed by Fang Xie once. So the more he thought, the more he was afraid. Finally, when it was almost dawn, he finally decided to find a solution and make these things clear.

After changing his clothes, as soon as he was about to go out, he saw Chen Xiaoru with several people waiting for him at the door.

"By the order of the general, please go to the south of the city to see your new house."

Chen Xiaoru smiled and said, "the senior general has bought a big house for you at the foot of the south mountain of the city, and it has been cleaned up. In the future, sir will live there for a long time. He doesn't lack any money in his hands, so the servants will choose by themselves. The senior general said he won't care about these things."

"In addition... The general asked me to tell you a word."

Sun Kaidao asked with a pale face, "what did the general say?"

Chen Xiaoru said, "the general said, thank you, sir."
