"Okay, Aiqing is really a good idea, if that's the case, then let's go to Paju."

Chapter 1495 Strategic Shift

Chapter 1495 Strategic Shift

The movement of the army has naturally been under the attention of countless scouts. When King Ning's men turned east, there were already scouts flying horses to report back to He Jiaan.

"Say it again, King Ning's army is actually coming to Paju?"

He Jiaan thought about countless possibilities, but he never thought that King Ning would give up the opportunity to cross the river first and turn to Paju.

What does he mean?

In addition, why didn't Wang Lun hear about such a big event?Could it be that he thought that King Ning might really become a great treasure, and turned around and assisted him?

Thinking about this possibility, Wang Lun was originally a duplicitous person. Of course, he was forced to surrender by the situation, and it is normal to betray himself now.

However, when he thought of King Ning's army, He Jia'an still showed a trace of caution. If he was at sea, he would naturally not be afraid. Right now, this fleet should be an invincible army in the whole world, but how can it deal with King Ning? Great army, the effect is definitely not very obvious.

King Ning's army is already known as 20 people, if they swarm up, I am afraid that I will not be able to bear it.

Soon, Xue Yi was found by someone. When he heard that King Ning's army had turned to Paju, Xue Yi was quite excited at first, but after being excited, he was dumbfounded.

He is the army, and he is the navy. Even if he wants to fight, he can't fight him.

"My lord, what should we do now?" Facing the pressure of 20 troops, Xue Yi was also a little worried.

"You asked me, but I still want to ask you." He Jiaan smiled angrily.

"Or, let's go now." Fighting on land, your own strength is definitely not as good as the opponent's. Instead of sticking here, it's better to just go directly to Temasek, and leave this place to King Ning, let him follow that Faint king dog bites dog.

It's not that He Jiaan didn't think about leaving, but he didn't want to leave at this time. He patted his ass and walked away. What should the people of Paju do?

King Ning's subordinates are all composed of a group of bandits and thieves. They don't talk about benevolence, justice and morality, and they might just slaughter Paju.

Therefore, it is not shameful to walk away if you can't beat it. The key is what should these people in Paju do.

After thinking about it, He Jiaan didn't think of a good solution, but Xue Yi rolled his eyes and directly gave He Jiaan the most thoughtful proposal.

"Master He, otherwise, we can take all these people to Temasek by boat."

"Ah?" Xue Yi's words immediately caused He Jia'an's face to be bewildered. Temasek's place is big enough, not to mention the tens of thousands of people in Paju, even if there are hundreds of thousands more, it will not be a problem.

The crux of the problem is that these people will go with themselves?What if they don't follow me after I finish talking about my thoughts?

At that time, if I ask them to transfer them, they will not believe it. When King Ning's army arrives, staying here will be like waiting to die.

"Will it be too rash?" He Jiaan was a little worried.

"How could it be?" Xue Yi shook his head bluntly, and continued to persuade: "Your Excellency, don't even think about it. With your prestige in the hearts of Pazhou people now, let alone go to Temasek, let's take them to Frangji. I'm afraid everyone will go with you."

This is still a bit unrealistic. After all, a trip to Temasek will take about a month at sea. So many people need so many supplies. These are all problems that need to be solved.

After the He family told Xue Yi about these problems, Xue Yi didn't think it was a problem, and simply said: "That's not easy, first send people to stop on the boat halfway, prepare fresh water and food, as long as the big boat As soon as they arrive, they can receive supplies, and as for the problem of the boats, it is easy to solve, let everyone find a small island to live for a while, and when Tang Lin's fleet arrives, all the tens of thousands of people can be transported to Temasek at once."

It sounds like this strategy is indeed to attract him, after hesitating again and again, He Jiaan finally made up his mind, King Ning's army is only three days away from here, he really can't afford to delay, if he wants to leave, he should make up his mind.

"Pass down the order. Tomorrow morning, all the people in the city will gather at the pier. I have something important to tell everyone."

In a short time, the order has been passed on. Paju is not very big, and the residents are relatively concentrated. In recent days, the news of King Ning's rebellion has spread all over Paju, and the people seem to be doing well. After being prepared, when he heard the news, he naturally connected King Ning with this place.

Only He Jiaan, there is no time to stop this night. At such a critical moment, many things have to be stopped. Cannon casting and shipbuilding are all ready to start relocation, but these two are heavy industries. It is not so easy to move, even if according to He Jiaan's idea, only take away the most important parts, it will take seven or eight days to do it.

Seven or eight days.

That King Ning's army can arrive at Paju within three days, doesn't that mean that he has to persist for another four or five days.

After thinking about it, it is not impossible to rely on these Franco cannons in the city.

Therefore, He Jiaan arranged for the workers to take away important tools, and at the same time began to deploy the defense of Paju City.

On the next morning, the people of Paju gathered at the pier in an orderly manner. When He Jiaan appeared at the pier with a tired face, he was greeted with cheers from the crowd.

It is true that since Paju had He Jiaan, the people no longer had to worry about it, and the tyrannical Japanese pirates in the past never appeared in Paju again, and life went more smoothly.

All of this was brought by He Jia'an, so when he appeared on the high platform, the sky-shattering cheers immediately rang out.

With so many people present, it is impossible for He Jiaan's voice to be heard by everyone. I have prepared many messengers on the pier, and every word I say on the stage will be spread through their voices. More people will hear it.

He Jiaan stood on the stage, but his heart was surging. With a wave of his hand, the cheers all around suddenly stopped neatly, and then He Jiaan shouted loudly: "Fathers and folks in Pazhou, everyone must have heard that King Ning rebelled. However, I just got the news yesterday that King Ning's army has suddenly turned around and is heading towards Paju."

Sure enough, I guessed right, that damn guy really came to Paju.

He Jiaan's words made the people below excited, and after waiting for a while, the emotions below calmed down a little, at this time a big man suddenly shouted: "Master He, King Ning's soldiers and horses are here, Are you going to be recruited, count me as the other two."

"Count me in too."

"I also need to go."

As soon as they heard that soldiers were being recruited to defend their homeland, the people below suddenly became chaotic again. After everyone finally calmed down, He Jiaan said loudly: "Raise soldiers for a thousand days, use them for a while, of course there are officers and soldiers in wars, but King Ning The momentum is huge, 20 horses cannot be stopped by our mere Paju, so I have an idea, and I will discuss it with you today, and whether I agree or not is all up to the individual, and I will not force it."

"Master He, just say it, as long as it is what you say, we will agree to everything."

"Okay, then I'll say it."

Chapter 1496

Chapter 1496

The sea breeze blew, and the pier that was still chaotic just now suddenly became quiet. Tens of thousands of people gathered together, but they didn’t even make a sound. The whole pier was as quiet as death. Thinking about whether He Jiaan's words are true or not, did he really leave the land where he was born and live in an unknown land?

He Jiaan was not in a hurry, just looking at the tens of thousands of people in the audience, what he made was not an easy choice. Before making this choice, everyone should carefully and carefully consider whether to go or not. , or not.

Finally, someone below the stage raised his hand and said loudly in the direction of He Jiaan: "Master He, I am fifty-three this year, old man. In the first two years, I am afraid that I would have been punished by those corrupt officials long ago." I was forced to die, thanks to Mr. He coming to Paju, the old man, I was able to survive, and not only survived, but my life was much more comfortable than before. These good days are brought by Mr. He. I can't control other old men. As long as Mr. He says to go, the old man will go, I will not stay here, waiting for other corrupt officials to exploit me, I will go."

Finally, the first person stood up and walked to the open space beside him. The others looked at him for a while, thought for a while, and then someone came out again, the third, the fourth...

In a short time, most of the originally neat team left, and the remaining people looked at me and I looked at you, and finally another person raised his hand and asked: "Master He, everyone is from Paju." The common people all know that you are good to the people of Paju, but there is one other thing that I can't make up my mind about."

"Please tell me if you have something to say." He Jiaan replied with a smile.

"Look, we have houses and land here, but after the Temasek you mentioned, will there still be houses and fields?"

"Of course there will be." He Jiaan nodded with a smile and said: "I know, everyone is still skeptical about this point, thinking that Xiyang is a poor place with nothing, but in fact everyone guessed wrong, needless to say anything else, just The sweet potatoes and corn we usually eat are all seeds brought back from the West, so it can be said that there is no difference at all except that the climate there is slightly hotter than here.”

"And there is one more thing I can assure you. After we get there, we will not live a life of hard work in the fields every day. We will leave those things to those Westerners. What we have to do is Turn Temasek into an untouched Taoyuan, where you can make a lot of money and make a fortune every day by relying on the trade."

These people really don't know much about trade, but they do know one thing, that is, after He Jiaan came here, he has never lied to everyone. As for him saying that he can make money, he must be able to make money.
