Chapter 193 News from Nanyang
Thank you to Zhuhou for smiling at Fenghuo, Fenghua's second brother, sweetlan124 brothers for supporting and monthly tickets. Thank you for your 4th update today.

"Haha, Brother Shen, I said why did this magpies keep calling this morning? It turned out that Brother Shen is here. Please, please, please, the humble house will shine brightly!"
The visitor was the clerk of the Wuying Palace, and the Shachuan Gang general, Shen Tingyang!
Before, Xu Changqing had always wanted to contact Chen Tingyang to see if he could walk the Grand Canal and transport these craftsmen to Shandong.
It should be noted that if you walk the Grand Canal, you can just go from Tongzhou, which is only a short distance from the capital, which will greatly save Xu Changqing's financial resources and material resources.
Unfortunately, Chen Tingyang's whereabouts were too erratic and he went out to sea regularly, so Xu Changqing did not have such sufficient staff to contact him.
Unexpectedly, this guy came to the capital at this time, so he came over to take the initiative to visit him.
Looking at Xu Changqing's sincere and eager appearance, Chen Tingyang also laughed: "Brother, I have read you right, it is indeed a great boost to the power of my Ming Dynasty and the power of the Han people! Great, great!"
Chen Tingyang no longer had the elegance of the past at this time. He hugged Xu Changqing and gave Xu Changqing a thumbs up.
He had realized before that Xu Changqing, a young young man, was very different from the ordinary Ming generals. He was not only brave, but also overbearing and vigorous, but also had a delicate and ambitious heart that is rare in ordinary people!
In the words of later generations, Xu Changqing not only has a good brain, is motivated, and has a strong motivation, but also has amazing execution ability!
This is also the main reason why he and Xu Changqing made a fuss.
However, Chen Tingyang did not expect that his brother was ten thousand times stronger than he thought!
The Battle of Songjin is a past tense at this time. Although many of the things were deliberately beautified and trimmed, it is naturally not difficult to know the core of them with Chen Tingyang's energy.
Among the troops, the slave chief Huang Taiji was killed!
The entire battle of Liaoxi will be determined by one battle, and will save the entire Ming Dynasty from water and fire!
What is this concept?
It is the martial saint Guan Yun Chang Guan Second Master, Yue Wu Mu Yue Grandpa, even the Taizu Grandpa, that year, who was unable to do this!
The two of them came to the main hall with their arms around each other. They were originally the personal soldiers coming to serve tea, but Xu Changqing directly sent the personal soldiers away and called Rui'er to call Li Youwei, Wu Sanmei, Gu Hengbo and Kou Baimen to come over and see Chen Tingyang together.
Soon, Li Youwei and Wu Sanmei's daughters came over and personally served tea to Chen Tingyang.
How could Chen Tingyang not understand what Xu Changqing meant? This is ‘the best thing for the family’!
I was very formal in my greetings with Li Youwei, Wu Sanmei and the others.
Whether it was Li Youwei, Wu Sanmei, Gu Hengbo and Kou Baimen, they all knew Chen Tingyang, and the atmosphere in the hall became more lively for a while.
Li Youwei and Wu Sanmei are the main wife, so they naturally enjoy this right.
Gu Hengbo and Kou Baimen were concubines. They originally did not have such an opportunity to meet the male host's friend, but at this time Xu Changqing brought them all over, which made the two women feel a little indescribable. The eyes of Xu Changqing were filled with indescribable resentment.
After meeting each other, they asked Li Youwei, Wu Sanmei and others to go to pack their lunch themselves. Xu Changqing and Chen Tingyang also sat down and started chatting while drinking tea.
Chen Tingyang came here this time mainly to prepare before the New Year and reserve some gifts. He first visited the big guys who could speak in Beijing and arranged for people to give gifts during the New Year. He would not come at that time because he wanted to go to Macau, including Nanyang during this period.
"I am worthy of being Brother Shen, what a big deal!"
Xu Changqing was also very excited after hearing this and sincerely gave Chen Tingyang a thumbs up.
Nanyang, but Xu Changqing had already booked the territory, and history has proved the wealth in it.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
and importance.
Of course, it is definitely not possible at this time, but this does not prevent Xu Changqing from communicating with those ghosts about technology and technology, including wealth.
Why did Xu Changqing spend a lot of effort to get along with Johnson Chan before?
Although the Chinese have a history of civilization of 5,000 years, Zu Chongzhi accurately measured the pi to the seventh decimal point in the Southern and Northern Dynasties a thousand years ago, including Zhang Heng, who invented the armillary sphere, seismometer, etc. as early as the Eastern Han Dynasty.
However, at this time, the country was closed and the exchanges were not smooth, and the Ming Dynasty was already at a disadvantage in modern and modern science.
Not to mention the history of another time and space, the barbarity and ignorance of wild boar skin completely made the entire Han nation sink into the abyss. It was not until the older generation of pioneers tried their best that the Han nation stood in the world again.
At this time, Johnson Chan had a lot of professional knowledge in modern science, especially gunpowder, mathematics, and foreign languages.
Xu Changqing's catapult can allow the men to fire based on their feelings and talents, but real artillery, real artillery, not real talent, will definitely be finished with just talent.
If we can rely on Johnson Chan himself, including the relationship behind him, to establish a new war system for Xu Changqing and cultivate a new education system, whether for Xu Changqing or the Chinese nation, this is really ten thousand gold, and million gold is hard to buy.
"Oh? Changqing, do you also know about Nanyang affairs?"
Chen Tingyang was also very energetic at this time and looked at Xu Changqing excitedly.
It should be noted that at this time, the Ming Dynasty was still the country of the Celestial Empire. Not to mention Nanyang, Liaodong was transformed into foreign barbarians. Those who went to Nanyang to make a living were all unfamiliar people who were not tolerated by mainstream society. In the consciousness of mainstream society, those who went to Nanyang were all spicy.
Chen Tingyang really didn't expect Xu Changqing to know Nanyang.
"learn?"
"It's not a question of understanding, it's just very interested."
Xu Changqing smiled, "Brother Shen, why do you suddenly want to go to Nanyang?"
Chen Tingyang and Xu Changqing did not shy away, and said with a smile: "Changqing, you don't know that business is difficult now. I only have this acre of three-point land. Maybe I can survive for a few years, but what about a few years later? It will definitely be unfavorable. Some time ago, my eldest brother, an official, invited me to go to Nanyang together. I also want to try my luck there."
"Brother First Officer?"
Xu Changqing narrowed his eyes slightly and said to himself: "Is this master also trying to make an idea of Nanyang now?"
Soon Xu Changqing also realized that the eyesight of the first official must be fine. He was afraid that the Ming Dynasty could not compare with the news channels in the south, so naturally he could not watch those white-haired ghosts holding money in Nanyang without any idea!
However, with the mirror of history, Xu Changqing understood very well that Brother Yiguan’s ambition was still too small, and he was a bit reluctant to do business, let alone further colonization.
But it is a super good thing for Chen Tingyang to have this opportunity at this time, both for Chen Tingyang and Xu Changqing.
Speaking of 'Brother Yiguan', Chen Tingyang also became interested and smiled and said, "Changqing, you should have heard of the famous brother Yiguan, right? Don't look at those white-haired ghosts in Nanyang who show off their power, but they have to admit defeat in front of Yiguan. Now the warship of Yiguan..."
If you drink a friend, you can drink a thousand cups of wine, and you can't speak a lot without any speculation.
It is obviously the former between Chen Tingyang and Xu Changqing. Both of them can talk about any topic until they are dry.
Although Yiguan is a junior of Chen Tingyang, he admires Yiguan's elder brother Chen Tingyang very much. He unconsciously couldn't stop it and introduced Xu Changqing a lot of things about Yiguan's elder brother.
Not long ago, Brother Yiguan's fleet defeated a notorious pirate team in the Annan Sea and seized more than a dozen large ships.
But this battle was won
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Victory, Brother Yiguan suffered a lot of losses. After careful analysis, Brother Yiguan found that his artillery had already fallen behind.
This is also the core origin of this trip to Southeast Asia.
After hearing Chen Tingyang's words, Li Youwei, Wu Sanmei and others also began to serve wine and food in person.
Xu Changqing said before that they were letting them cook, but it was impossible to really let them cook. It would be okay to have fun when they were fine.
At this time, the chef named She who was responsible for the kitchen in Xu Changqing's mansion was the chef who had made porridge for Emperor Chongzhen before and was later awarded to Xu Changqing by Emperor Chongzhen, and was nicknamed "She Yidao".
His real method was not to make porridge, but to make a knife skill, especially to make a "carved sweet and sour carp". By chance, he came to Xu Changqing's mansion.
At this time, although the dishes were simple, the beauty of the craftsmanship made Chen Tingyang, who was spitting everywhere, stunned.
When Chen Tingyang saw this sweet and sour carp like a dragon and a phoenix dance, he couldn't help it anymore and hurriedly said, "Brother, where did you find the chef? This is too exaggerated, right?"
Xu Changqing laughed loudly and whispered to Chen Tingyang in a low voice.
"this……"
Chen Tingyang was amused and cried for a moment, and turned to Xu Changqing's eyes and felt indescribable envy.
He is so jealous of his little brother.
Xu Changqing and Shen Tingyang didn't eat much. They had their stomachs full and drank a few glasses of wine. After each of them was in better condition, Xu Changqing started with Nanyang affairs and told Chen Tingyang his own requirements.
After hearing this, Chen Tingyang put down the wine glasses on his lips: "Changqing, you, do you want to hire those white-haired ghosts? Even if these white-haired ghosts are better than us, what's the use? Don't waste money."
This guy is still the character of a "people from the Heavenly Kingdom" and is of inferior quality.
Xu Changqing smiled without saying a word.
After a moment, he explained: "Brother Shen, how can I say this matter? I can't explain it clearly for a while. Just help me find it! Whether it is artillery, musket craftsmen, soldiers with war experience, or teachers who teach language, as long as I bring one, I will give you fifty taels of silver here!
Of course, you also explained to these white-haired ghosts that as long as they come over, their salary will definitely double!
If someone has outstanding abilities, it is no problem to increase five times and ten times!"
"this……"
Chen Tingyang was a little speechless, but Xu Changqing had already spoken. He could not have given Xu Changqing this face and nodded, "Okay, I'll pay attention to this matter for you."
As he said that, he also smiled: "Brother, if I find too many people for you, don't blame the elder brother for making money."
The two of them looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh.
After drinking a few more glasses of wine, Xu Changqing also expressed the primary purpose at this time, and needed to transport the Grand Canal.
This matter is no longer difficult for Chen Tingyang.
Although he had already begun to turn to sea transportation, he had some ways in the Cao Gang and smiled and said, "Brother, there is no need to talk about money for this little thing, just arrived in Cangzhou. Just think of it, I'll help you find someone in the future."
Xu Changqing smiled and did not refute. For Chen Tingyang, this was really a small matter that could not be even more small.
With Xu Changqing's confidence, he is not afraid of not being able to repay Chen Tingyang's favor.
Afterwards, the two exchanged opinions on many things, and the result was that Chen Tingyang was drunk and had no shape at all, and fell directly on the table.
He personally sent Chen Tingyang to the guest room for rest. Xu Changqing washed his face and took some fresh air in the garden. His condition had already recovered most of the time.
Just now, Xu Changqing had something that he had been very concerned about, but he didn't talk to Chen Tingyang on the spot.
Chapter completed!
