"Well, Wen Jun, you are very saying." Xu Zixian nodded and said, "I guess Li Gu, Xu Ziwen will definitely send people to the bandit army, but these people are all incompetent people with high vision and low skills. They are probably either imprisoned or killed."

"Kill them all?" Chen Wenjun's face was a little pale. Although she knew a lot of military and political affairs, when it came to killing, the girl from the civil servant's mansion was still frightened when she heard this.

Xu Zixian smiled calmly and said, "I don't know what Li Kaiming would do, but if it were me, I would definitely kill all the people in the Zhao royal palace."

"Why?"

"One is to have fewer constraints. They sent people to divide their troops and power. If one team cannot unite within the army, what else can they fight? Secondly, they are firmly determined by the subordinates. If King Zhao leads his troops to encircle and suppress the situation in the future, and promises to give good conditions when recruiting the amnesty, there are old subordinates of King Zhao who are originally from King Zhao, and they are sent out to restrain and influence the thieves. If these people are kept in the subordinates and turn against the water at a critical moment, wouldn't they dig their own graves? Therefore, in my estimate, this afternoon, these people will not be left and all of them will be killed. Even if King Zhao, Li Gu and others are angry, the agreement has been completed, and Li Kaiming has no desire for anything at all. A strategist like Li Gu is really stupid and stupid. They are used to dealing with dignitaries, nobles, gentry and businessmen, and they don't know what the bandits are about!"

When Xu Zixian spoke, Chen Wenjun looked at him with a wonderful look, his eyes full of admiration.

The man next to him was a little older and had a beard, but he could still tell that he was a young man in his early twenties. He was extremely mature and extremely open-minded. His open-minded and confident attitude was not comparable to Xu Ziwen? Xu Ziwen's reserved and arrogant aura was a pedantic word. Compared with the two, there was a difference of tens of thousands of miles, which was really not comparable.

"As for the next step..." Xu Zixian said what he pondered and said to Chen Wenjun: "I really don't know how to make a decision."

Chen Wenjun said: "Don't Mingda has many helpers around him?"

Xu Zixian shook his head slowly and said, "I can only decide such a big deal."

When he was speaking, there was a breath of a superior person on his body, but it was invisible, which made Chen Wenjun even more intoxicated.

Although hesitated and difficult to make a decision, Xu Zixian had some answers in his heart.

...

"It's really a big trouble..."

Fang Shaoqun was the lightest, with a high-spirited and quick-witted mind. He swung the folding fan lightly and said first: "We must make sure first. King Zhao used this matter to seek the power of opening the government. At least the court entrusted him with the power to attack the thieves. Isn't it wishful thinking?"

"No!" Fang Shaoqun asked and answered himself, and said first: "Li Gu, the counselor of King Zhao, was deeply wise, dared to make plans and make decisions. At this time, the road of Fujian was in chaos, and the court could only entrust the military and political power, at least to the great power of the fight against thieves to His Highness Zhao. This was undoubtedly a matter of no doubt."

Li Yi, Kong He and others were all pondering, but Chen Daojian said in a deep voice: "Mr. Fang said very well, and I also judged it like this."

Xu Zixian nodded slightly and said, "This is why King Zhao, Li Gu and others, and the Pu family cannot continue to delay, and they will definitely do this at this time. If they delay, after half a year, I can fight for the power to control the army. I can even say that with strength, reputation, and ability to lead troops, the court will only choose me first, and the emperor will not be able to compete with the two prefectures. At this time, when I first entered Fujian Road, my authority was not strong, I had not sorted out the Xiang army, appeased the local forces, and stored it for my use... Now such a big thing happened, the court attaches the most importance to the bandits and treats it as a major concern. King Zhao has been guarding Fujian Road for many years, and the imperial guards can be used by him. Transport and local governments can support it with money and food. In order to protect the financial resources in the southeast, the two prefectures can only rely on King Zhao..."

Fang Shaoqun smiled coldly and said, "If King Zhao can defeat the bandits, let some go into Jiangnan West Road or Liangzhe Road... As we all know, even if the bandits run away a few hundred people, they will not be eliminated, and there will be more than 100,000 people in half a year. The court can make trouble in the Central Plains, Shandong, Hedong, and Qin Feng can't make trouble in the southeastern Jiangnan. In order to appease the local area and make the King Zhao serve sincerely, it is not natural to give him the power of the government? The emperor did not like our king, and took the opportunity to order the king to return to the East Vanguard, devote himself to developing the navy, and suppress the sea fronts. For the important officials of the two prefectures and many officials and gentry, this choice is not bad?"

When it comes to Xu Zixian's title of king, Han Zhong and other important officials were also half public and private. Their selfishness was to stimulate the emperor and transfer the conflicts to the emperor, King Zhao, and Xu Zixian's contradictions.

It also involves secret matters such as imperial inheritance and zongzi selection, which Han Zhong deliberately did.

There is also public intention. The Southeast is rich and wealthy, and it is indeed necessary to entrust a royal family who is good at fighting to entrust important tasks to become an important town in the Southeast.

If King Zhao can defeat the bandits and prove that he has the ability to stabilize Fujian Road and even the southeast, why should the two prefectures support Xu Zixian and fight against the emperor and King Zhao?

Kong He sneered: "The national affairs and government affairs of the Great Wei Dynasty are all caused by these private conspiracies, and shameful activities are broken. Thinking about it, it is really annoying."

No one present paid attention to it... Fang Shaoqun continued: "Can we be sure of this level? Below we are forcing ourselves to stay on Fujian Road, fight with King Zhao, or give in first, and temporarily retract back to the East Vanguard?"

plum

Yi pondered: "Retracted back to the Dongfan, the arrangements and various investments in Nan'an, as well as recruitment and other matters, I am afraid that they will die in the middle of the journey."

"It's okay, let's retreat completely first." Xu Zi said without thinking again, "Most of the soldiers and civilians in Nan'an, Gukou and Shuikou towns retreated to the Dongfan, built ports in Qizhou, and built merchants thought that the trade in Nan'an and Dongfan were supplemented with naval troops and a small number of troops."

"You can also stifle the sea entrance of Fuzhou." Fang Shaoqun laughed, his eyebrows were not as reluctance as Li Yi, Kong He and others, but he was very excited.

The rest of the people were quite complicated. Li Yi frowned and Kong He even sighed.

The prosperity of Nan'an Town and the power of Zhongshan Prince's Mansion will surely fall into storm.

Everyone was already used to Xu Zixian's judgment. The king's order to retreat temporarily must have a reason. Although he was reluctant to leave, he stood up one after another and clasped his fists to express his obedience to the order.

...

"The flag of the cavalry camp." Chen Zuocai looked at the military cavalry flying in front of him, and then saw the whistle cavalry jumping on the beach and fields, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

It was almost evening, and the setting sun radiated a golden luster. The surface of the Minjiang River, which was originally like a jade belt, was also bright. Some small boats were fishing on the river. When the oars were shaking, they broke the tranquility of the river. The river water sprinkled with golden bells and fluttered.

On the shore, Chen Zuocai, Chen Daojian, Fang Shaoqun and others were led by Jin Baoyi, Wu Weisan, Gao Huairen and other generals led their troops to wait on both sides of the official road outside Nan'an Town, followed by Lin Dingyi, Yang Shizhi, Wei Jiuzhen, Xu Yanda and other senior officials of the Chamber of Commerce. Then came Fuzhou officials, ordinary merchants and civilians, and one of the few official households in the Zhongshan Palace in Nan'an Town.

Many official households had long been moved to the Dongfan, and the remaining official households were not large, and the amount of land cultivated increased a lot, and the amount of money and grain paid to the royal palace increased accordingly. The original labor service was reduced a lot due to the relocation of the royal palace.

The lives of the officials and the people of Nan'an towns are quite good. From their brighter robes and rosy faces, it can be seen that the ordinary people outside the officials, the shopkeepers, the garrisons, and their families mostly have similar expressions.

After the news came out of Fuzhou City, some big bosses rushed over from Fuzhou. Chen Zuocai and others were preparing in the town. When the news that Xu Zi had to arrive in the town in advance, Chen Zuocai and Fang Shaoqun met. They felt that something happened suddenly and extraordinary. So, in addition to spreading all the defensive forces in the town, even the new army soldiers were all out.

From Nan'an Town to Shuikou and Gukou, there are figures of Zhongshan Prefecture troops everywhere.

At the junction of the towns, the official roads to Jianzhou and Quzhou, along the river beaches, defenses were arranged everywhere, and a small number of cavalry scattered out to inquire about the news.

Of course, Gao Huairen, Li Shouli and others have already reported that the convoy passed through and there was news that the bandits in Jianzhou might raise the flag. This information is very high in the Military Intelligence Department's secret level, and they don't know the specific reason. However, the situation in Jianzhou is unstable and the news has been almost cut off for a day or two. Everyone did not suspect that something was wrong in Jianzhou, but instead bet on Fuzhou City.

The whistle cavalry was in front, and the rest of the cavalry were on both sides. Among the infantrymen of the three capitals, Xu Zixian's king flag was flying high in the middle... The other cavalry camp military flags and infantry flags followed the king flags. The armored weapons were dazzling, the army was extremely neat, the grand and majestic posture, which made the army pass by, and the people were all like the wind blowing down the bend of wheat, lowering their waists, and with the most respectful and respectful attitude, welcoming the King of Zhongshan to his mansion to the courtyard.

Almost all the people, merchants, gentry, and officials here have seen Xu Zixian.

Xu Zixian is as outstanding as the sun and the moon. Although his appearance is ordinary, he has an unconcealed aura. Although he is noble, he does not have a proud aura. At a rough look, he only has the temperament of a martial artist. After closer look, he has the confidence that he has been in the position for a long time, which makes people feel a sense of trust.

Such men actually have the blood of northerners, which is very different from ordinary people who are black, thin and low. However, Mr. Xu Zi was in Fuzhou and grew up in Fuzhou. At least in the eyes of the scholars and people in front of him, Xu Zixian was a standard Fuzhou native. He was a relative of the royal family, but he was also their own.

Amid the cheers, Chen Zuocai, Jin Baoyi, Wu Weisan, Gao Huairen and others all breathed a sigh of relief and went up to meet them at the same time.

"I've seen the King."

"I've seen Your Highness."

"I've seen the king."

It was not that everyone and Xu Zixian had never seen each other for a long time, but they were mostly just crossing their hands to greet each other, or bowing halfway to finish the ceremony.

After the greetings, Xu Zi drove to the carriage next to him. Everyone watched Chen Wenjun being helped out. Surrounded by maids and servants, the bright and beautiful girl nodded to everyone, with a slight smile on her face. Although it was just one or two moves, the dignified and generous attitude of the lady from a family was fully displayed.

This is really a combination of heaven and a good match that Zhongshan King has no second choice.

At least this is true on Fujian Road.

Chen Wenjun also knew that in the future, she would have to take charge of Xu Zixian's affairs and help him socialize with foreign guests. Of course, these men did not need her to show up. Her main responsibility was to host the internal guests. The foreign guests they met were also wives, men or concubines of these identities, but they were not qualified to meet with the princess.

However, since you show up, you must of course greet everyone. This is the difference between a lady from a family and a girl from a small family. If you change to an ordinary woman, even if you receive education similar to Chen Wenjun, how can you get a chance to experience such a scene? You are afraid that you will be so panicked that you are at a loss and don’t know what to do.

"I've seen Uncle Zhu." When entering the door, Chen Wenjun greeted Chen Duzhu, the distant uncle, with a smile, and then walked into the door of the mansion with Xu Zi first.

Today, the gate of the royal palace is of course open, with soldiers who are guarding, a large number of officials, merchants, onlookers, and countless servants and maids surrounding him. This wealth and prosperity scene is the first time since the construction of this villa, and it also makes some elderly people over the age of sixty sigh and sigh at the past.

"Wen Jun will be the best helper of the king." Chen Duzhu saw many noble people, and when he was running around in Jiangling, many princes often ran around the mansions. He would not feel dazzling because of the scene in front of him. He was only half happy and half moved and said: "The king has never chosen many choices, and he always knew that Wen Jun was the one who wanted Wen Jun. Although he had the will of the king's ancestor, the king himself saw that Wen Jun was the most suitable candidate."

"What Zhu Lao said is very much."

"I have heard that the third-ranked female princess in Changwen Hou Mansion is amazing. When I saw her this time, the rumors were indeed true."

Most of the people present agreed with Chen Duzhu's words. Even if they had some disagreements, no one of these people was a good person, so how could they sing the opposite tune on such occasions?

Chen Duzhu said leisurely again: "This time the group merchants have arrived, the King of Zhongshan will definitely see us again, but the details have been agreed upon in the Dongfan. From now on, no matter we are from the Dongfan, we will travel thousands of miles a day and a lifetime. It seems that we will enjoy our old age with wealth and honor under the support of the king."

Children of big families like Chen Duzhu have their own private property and have a share of their output from the public. However, the large family has deep roots and many children, and the output from the public is also distributed according to relatives and distant relatives. The benefits obtained by distant clans are quite limited. When they entered school, they began to use the power of their families to travel to business in middle age. Of course, the industry they obtained must be given back to the family. Over the years, private wealth has not been much profitable.

If Chen Duzhu himself can benefit greatly by cooperating with Dongfan and opening up a business path, that is, what he said is that ends with wealth and prosperity is no longer a dream.

Everyone present was in the same situation, and there would not be much difference between the children of aristocratic families in this matter.

"Old Zhu said very well," Wei Jiuzhen said confidently: "The East Fan will be thousands of miles a day, and it will never be threatened and restrained."

Xu Yanda also said: "The navy and the cavalry camp and the camp are together, which is enough to stand out for all the heroes. Moreover, the king is good at managing finances and does not have to worry about military supplies. From then on, the king is not only in charge of Fujian, but also in the southeast pillar."

These people were born in civil servants or noble families, and their sources and realms were superior to ordinary merchants. Judging from the opinions of these people, the imperial court's suppression of the King of Zhongshan and the faint hostility of the emperor were simply unreasonable. They used both water and land, and opened the government to guard the southeast, and gave the title of Prince Edge. This is what the increasingly embarrassing emperor and the two palaces should do.

"We should be a supporter," Lin Dingyi said: "Old Zhu, Brother Wei, and Brother Xu have been in Nan'an for many days. The chamber of commerce is running and the establishment of the business group training should have a detailed charter for the outsiders to know and follow the implementation."

Chen Duzhu agreed very much and said, "It is natural that this is the best time."

Indeed, the King of Zhongshan was married and sent troops to guard the army. Nan'an Town was recruiting troops, and his strong attitude was quite obvious.

Taking advantage of this good opportunity to expand the chamber of commerce to the outside world, it is most appropriate to prepare for smooth business channels.

While everyone was discussing, calculating, and heading to the mansion, Chen Daojian hurried back and saw the many chambers of commerce gathered in one place, he immediately clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness has an order to inform you, gentlemen, boss, to expand the chamber of commerce to the outside world, and to make an agreement on the alliance, and to postpone it for the time being."

Everyone, including Chen Duzhu, looked at each other and didn't know what to say for a moment.

After a while, Xu Yanda and Wei Jiuzhen, who were still close to each other, said together: "I don't know what the king is about, please Xiaoyu, let me know clearly."

"Your Highness said that you will know the bottom within one or two days." Apologies appeared on Chen Daojian's face, but he still said firmly: "It's not a good time yet, and you may have to wait for a while."

"Well." Chen Duzhu's face showed a slight dissatisfaction. Many advancements and the drafting of the treaty were led by the royal palace of the Dongfan. Now everything is ready, but the King of Zhongshan is going to postpone it. Does it take a delay in the wedding? Logically speaking, the King of Zhongshan is not a ridiculous personality. He has never made any mistakes in his rise in recent years. However, at this moment, even Chen Duzhu couldn't help but doubt it.

"There must be something important." Lin Dingyi, who has been following the Zhongshan Prince's Mansion, was quite sure. He said to everyone: "Maybe it is related to the fact that Your Highness went to Nan'an in advance. I guess something amazing happened. Now we guess is useless, so why not wait for Your Highness to declare."

"It makes sense."
