Sha Po Lang

Throughout the nine years of Long'an, there was a smell of gunpowder smoke in the girder.

At the end of May, the imperial court, represented by King Yan, met with thirteen charitable merchants who entrusted the first batch of beacon tickets as representatives, announcing the expiration of the first batch of beacon tickets. Set up the main village in the capital, and set up branches in various places. Before the establishment of the branches, the government will temporarily handle all affairs, responsible for collecting and paying the expired beacon tickets.The next day, Longan Bank announced several alternative payment methods, which can be cashed in cash, or you can open an account in Longan Bank to convert bill silver into deposit silver, which can be used throughout the territory of Long'an Bank, and the share reaches a certain standard If you want, you can also exchange shares from the official factories held by the Canal Office. All the prices are listed, which is fully written into a thick account book, which makes Fang Qin and others grit their teeth. Think about it.

In the past, there were various banks in Daliang, some were privately run, and some were established by the imperial merchants, which were exclusively used by the government for foreign trade and exchange. As soon as King Yan changed his gentle and elegant image, since he came back, his whole body seemed to be taken away by something, and he became frantic day after day.

Although Huang Shang has the word "Huang" on it, most of the big families are behind him. He always thinks that there is an "Huang" on his head when he wants to bully others. When he wants to fill his own pocket, only "Shang" is left around him , I am used to not distinguishing between public and private, account books are not separated from muddy water, and the entanglement of interests is not clear after three days and three nights. I have long regarded the official property as my own. Indiscriminately "deprived of the family business"?

From May to August, it can be said that the court is full of chaos every day.

A leader of Guanzhuang acted as an early bird and resisted to death. He was immediately found out for fraud and embezzlement and was imprisoned. His house was searched and his wife was pregnant. Life.

The mother-in-law is an old man. On her [-]th birthday, the late emperor personally mentioned the "old birthday star".

All of a sudden there was an uproar, and all the princes in the capital wished they could pull Yan Wang out to have skin cramps.

During Fang Qin's flight, he cleverly let Prince Yan, who is a nobleman in Tianhuang, direct his spearhead at the Military Aircraft Department, contacted six various forces, and jointly signed a letter denouncing the Military Aircraft Department with [-] crimes. Temporary Institutions of War".

Of course there is no bare-bones commander behind the Military Aircraft Department, of course they have to fight back, and all the nasty things that have been going on for a long time are all shaken off the table, full of open guns and dark arrows, fighting to the death, even if you have never been in it, just strolling past You have to take one or two arrows.

As the Mid-Autumn Festival approached, it was already heating up, and even a cautious person like Jiang Chong was involved in a case, and his duties were suspended pending investigation.

Everyone knew in their hearts that the emperor seemed to be impartial, but in reality he was secretly protecting King Yan, otherwise he wouldn't have remained steadfast despite all the ups and downs.

It was so chaotic and noisy until the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

As usual, Li Feng was going to the harem to have a family banquet, and on the way he met the third prince, no matter how strict a person is, he is somewhat tolerant of the youngest son, so Li Feng called him over tenderly and held him in his hands.The third prince was as afraid of his father as his elder brothers, so he didn't dare to say a word, he tried his best to reach his hand and trotted along with his footsteps, his face turned red after a while.

The servant had no choice but to remind him, and then Li Feng looked down and saw the trembling appearance of his younger son. For some reason, he remembered the appearance of King Goose sitting on the grass that day weaving grass and insects for this little thing.

Li Feng: "Go and call Yan Wang into the palace and have a family feast."

The waiter on one side rushed to meet him, but he ran around a lot, but he didn't bring him back.

"Your Majesty, the slaves have not found His Royal Highness King Yan."

Li Feng frowned: "Aren't you at the military plane?"

The servant said cautiously: "Isn't there something wrong with Mr. Jiang recently? Someone is clamoring for the disarmament plane. His Highness has said that he is avoiding suspicion these two days and has stopped his daily affairs...The apology note is still on your desk. up?"

Li Feng rubbed the center of his brows, and remembered this matter: "Didn't go to look for it at home? The palace? And the Marquis of Anding's mansion..."

"I found it," the servant said in a low voice, "the family said that the prince has left the city to go to the Huguo Temple, and he has been in the monastery of Master Qingran for the past two days."

Li Feng: "..."

On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, thousands of families were reunited, and Prince Yan, who is under one person and above ten thousand people, actually stayed alone under a poor monk, the Qingdeng Ancient Buddha.

... There are still a group of covetous people trying to pull him off the horse.

Li Feng suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

Although he was impressed by Chang Geng's categorical "willing to serve the Lord Shang" in the imperial garden that day, he still had a headache for the troubles caused by Yan Wang's excessive means during this time. .But at this time, it was not a taste, and it gradually changed in Li Feng's heart. After all, King Yan was still from the Li family. Even if he acted too hastily during this period, it was to plug the hole of the imperial court. Dude, he didn't say anything when he was the emperor. These gentry and officials rushed to jump their feet, which is too contemptuous of the royal family.

Back then, Li Feng knew that Wang Bao had a problem, but when Tan Hongfei came to question aggressively in Peking University, he furiously kept Wang Guoji in the palace. It was because Li Feng was born to be a soft-hearted person, and he was willing to take action to maintain balance. It's one thing, but this time the big families join forces to deal with King Yan is another thing.

"Some people are too much," Li Feng thought.

However, before the seed in the emperor's heart germinated, on that night, a major event happened thousands of miles away——

The Western Navy, which had already retreated to the coastal port, was still pretending to send festive congratulations to the Jiangbei garrison the day before.

Massively invaded Liangjiang Garrison in Daliang.

Since Gu Yun took charge of Liangjiang, the patrolling requirements of the local garrison are basically the standard of Xuantieying. Although the wildfires in the backyard of the imperial court have been burning all the time, Jiangbei Jiao, Eagle, Light and Heavy Armor and other major troops are all loose on the outside and tight on the inside. state of readiness.

It was night, and the southeast watchtower, which was closely watching the enemy's movements, was the first to notice the movement of the Western navy, and immediately turned on the alarm lights, and the extremely bright white light shot through the dark water like a rainbow, without waiting for the commander's order, and finally The short dragons on the front line will gather at the first time, and the iron fence for wartime defense will be quickly erected on the water near the ground. At the same time, the sentinel who reported the message will fly directly to the commander's tent from the watchtower.

On the main ship of the Western Army, Mr. Ya rushed in out of breath: "Your Majesty, they have been closely monitoring our army and they have been discovered."

"That's normal," the Pope didn't raise his eyes. "Their coach just passed away last time, and the old and new leaders didn't hand over. We were lucky enough to succeed once. Now the Daliang Army is already very regular, and Gu Yun is in charge again. Don't think about it." Unrealistic good luck, go, since the other party has noticed, let's say hello to our old enemy Mr. "

As soon as he finished speaking, the orderly had already rushed to convey the order.

Mr. Ya frowned: "Your Majesty, I was wondering... Maybe we have chosen an inappropriate timing? Why can't we wait a little longer? Daliang is also facing the same power transfer problem as the Holy Land, maybe after a while Time, they can have an opportunity inside..."

Before he could finish speaking, a loud noise came from outside—the fast and maneuvering vanguard warship fired!

The firing was out of control, and the sound of explosions rang out one after another. Mr. Ya shivered for a moment, realizing that he had to focus on the battle situation, after all, he had suffered a lot under Gu Yun's hands.

The Pope briefly removed his eyes from the clairvoyance, and turned to Mr. Ya: "I have a hunch, this is the best time - go full speed!"

The black shadow-like sea monster mountain pushed out the icy sea water with a tsunami. It had been dormant for a long time, and it once again rushed to the border of Daliang, waving its ferocious minions.

However, this time, the weak Daliang Navy is no longer what it used to be.

In the Liangjiang garrison, the sentry had just taken over the position of the sentry from the hands of a dead old comrade. It was the first time he had to deal with such a critical moment as the commander's eyes and ears. The military plane made a violent dive with the eagle armor on its back. When it landed, it ran for dozens of steps and couldn't stop.

"Urgent military situation, I want to see the commander in chief..." The sentinel was panicking, when a hand that was supporting him suddenly lifted up and touched his head.

The sentinel was startled, and when he looked up, he realized that the person he thought was in charge of defense was Gu Yun himself.

"Don't be afraid, I'm just defeated." Gu Yun patted the back of his neck, smiled at the young sentinel and said, "Go, follow me to meet them."

Within the time of these two sentences, the land armored soldiers and light cavalry in the entire camp had all been assembled, countless eagle armors lit up with purple flames in the dark night, Gu Yun gave a long whistle, and the flying eagles soared into the sky with a murderous look.

"Long Jiao and Short Jiao form three to five, leave the port!"

"The eagle hangs a white rainbow on the iron fence."

"What else is there?" Gu Yun leaned back the Wind Cutting Blade as if it were an ornament, and rubbed his chin, "Oh, yes, there is still something to send back to the Spiritual Shuyuan." Dim Sum' get ready, I'll give some chews to my old friends who came from afar when I get tired later."

The Western Army came suddenly, but the Liangjiang garrison did not respond hastily.

On one side was the pope who had regrouped and traveled all the way across the ocean from the Holy Land to fight, and on the other was Gu Yun, the miraculous Marquis of An Ding in folklore. The two finally faced each other head-on under the condition that they were evenly matched and there were no idlers to add to the chaos.

Gu Yun is not Chang Geng's kind of young man who dares to go into battle with a mouthful of blood. He methodically opened up the battle lines on the shore and the water, and tried to test the enemy's main ship while pretending to be true.

It's a pity that the match is against the opponent, this time the one who commanded the battle was not Mr. Ya, the coward who would take it seriously when given a stick, Old Jiang was very hot, Gu Yun teased him a few times, a team of sneak attacking short dragons almost took the enemy's right wing away several times, the enemy The main ship of the Chinese army still reacted quickly and drew back immediately.

The sea monster in Xiyang looks bulky, but in fact, this huge monster is not only highly defensive, but also covered with thorns. The ugly iron armor on the surface is lifted, and the muzzle is connected with the muzzle. The sea monster can be filled with unimaginable purple gold, Ammunition, even flying eagles and even Xiaojiao.

There is such a thing, the flying eagle can drop supplies at will, and it can suppress opponents in the air wherever it goes. At the same time, its control and cohesion of the surrounding sea turtles are irreplaceable. Like a queen bee or ant queen, it can perfectly Gather together a group of subordinates who are not smart enough and have uneven levels.

Gu Yun said to Yao Zhen who was beside him: "See? It's neat enough, the autonomy of the left and right wings is replaced by the big guy in the middle—it seems that the pope finally packed up the shit-stirring stick between them and sank it into the sea."

Yao Chongze looked worried: "Marshal, they are the ones who have been shy and want to talk about peace. Why are they suddenly turning their faces now?"

Gu Yun licked his lips: "I guess the weather has changed in their country, and someone gave them a tube of chicken blood. I know a little about the style of that old thing. At the beginning, I like to bombard the way wildly. It is also a test. Once it fails , will be adjusted immediately, but you see that he is not today, if the supply is not particularly abundant, he would not dare to be so confident. The supply should have come from the East from the open sea, and we are powerless over there. "

Yao Zhen had a clear mind, and immediately said: "Commander, if that's the case, we can't help but resist. The railroad track has not been repaired yet, even if we go to adjust it now, there may not be enough time, what should we do?"

The artillery fire of the Western Army raged across rivers and seas, burning the surface of the water like the legendary Abi Hell, and the money-free Ziliujin was wiped out in the hearts of all the iron monsters into thin white mist of steam, engulfed in tiny impurities and The gunpowder smoke from the artillery rose into the sky, quickly covering the moonlit and starry night sky with a layer of haze, and the accumulated water formed clouds, which stuck together in the middle of the night, and it actually started to rain.

At this moment, an orderly trotted over: "Commander, the sea squid is ready!"

"The dragons on the water gather, the main ship is launched, and the eagles are all on board." Gu Yun strode towards the deck of the main ship, and said to Yao Zhen who was following him closely, "Brother Chongze should sit on the shore, don't follow. "

Yao Zhen laughed loudly and said: "Although I have always been greedy for life and afraid of death, what am I afraid of following the commander in chief?"

However, Master Yao, who spoke so much, regretted it not long afterward. Unfortunately, he got seasick beside Gu Yun—the power system of the main ship was modified by the Lingshu Academy according to Gu Yun's ideas. There is no need to give up, the general main ship will not be so "unsteady", but it is a pity that the person who gave the order is Gu Yun, even if he flies, the surrounding tens of thousands of long and short dragons are also in his hands.

The Western Army did not dare to neglect, and immediately began chasing and intercepting them on a large scale.

In this way, the invincible and solid formation of the Western Army immediately became a constraint. Gu Yun has a strong sense of rhythm, sometimes loosening and sometimes tightening. Once the artillery fire is concentrated, the fleet will immediately disintegrate into pieces, and after a while, it will re-condense into a murderous fleet. , as if a sharp knife is always on the side of the neck, forcing people to follow his rhythm.

Gradually, the word "steady" will be added after every explicit order in Sea Monster.

However, the scene was not so stable.

Gu Yun quickly figured out the weakest point of the Western sea monsters. The Daliang navy immediately gathered a sharp knife and stabbed it. The Western sea monster with a big tail had no time to react. Heavy artillery, get out of the way—"

At this time, Gu Yun smiled at Yao Zhen: "The idea of ​​the sea monster, the Westerners, is actually worth learning from, but the reason why we haven't decided with the Lingshu Academy is because their ideas are correct, but the technology is not up to standard—maybe after a while. In 20 years, we can build a better..."

Before he could finish his sentence, he saw the Western sea jellyfish that had been clinging tightly to the sea monster in front of him suddenly scattered in a mess.

Gu Yun: "There's a breach, 'Squid' don't stand still!"

Yao Zhen: "Don't worry about the breach, Commander! Be careful!"

I saw that sea monster brazenly lifted its black back cover, revealing a row of thick muzzles below.

Gu Yun "Advance at full speed in the southwest direction, bomb, these small boats can't stop it!"

Two loud bangs sounded one after the other almost at the same time. The short cannons fired by the Daliang Fleet first blew up a group of Western Short Jiaos that had just fled in all directions, and broke into the enemy's position as if no one was there. Finally, almost brushing against them, the main ship shook violently, Yao Zhen clung to a pillar with all four feet on the ground, and Gu Yun couldn't stand still and slammed into the side of the hull fiercely.

Yao Zhen was startled by the movement: "Master!"

Gu Yun shook his head and got up nonchalantly, his eyes were terribly bright: "Dim sum is here."

The surface of the water, which had been bombarded by large and small artillery fires, fluctuated violently, and no one saw the strange-looking "Jiao" hidden under the water. They were a batch of "Sea Squids" recently sent by the Lingshu Academy. Expendables can sneak under the water. The driver can directly abandon the ship and dive after locking the direction. The battleship that pushes the sea squid will have a rope to bring them back, and the unmanned sea squid can keep moving forward at the same speed. Until it hits something on the bottom of the sea, the force of the impact can detonate the pirate.

This is tailor-made for the giant squid with extremely deep water.

The impenetrable battle line of the Westerners was blown away by Gu Yun, and then a water splash tens of feet high suddenly exploded on the sea for no reason. The sea water was extinguished, and before the Westerners had time to figure out what it was, they saw the sea monster-like main ship twitch violently, and caught off guard and ate a sea squid.

The shell like a copper wall was not invulnerable. The entire main ship of the sea monster tilted violently to one side. The Western soldiers who had been lighting up the order did not make a sound, and fell directly from the sea monster, and exploded in another wave. , I don't know whether it is dead or alive.

The enemy's purge queue suddenly fell into chaos, and Gu Yun never gave him any time to breathe. The eagle who had boarded the boat immediately pursued the fleeing Long and Short Jiao at an absolutely suppressed speed.

This thrilling naval battle was fought from dark to white in the east, and the abundant supplies of the Westerners hadn't been exhausted yet, but the formation had already been broken up. The Pope learned for a while the cunning and cunning of Gu Yun when he was in battle. Ever-changing, holding a mouthful of old blood, I had to retreat temporarily and wait for an opportunity to come back.

Gu Yun suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and said in a hoarse voice: "Fake pursuit, don't love to fight."

If the Westerners don't retreat, a large number of short dragons will soon lose their power and have no time to go back to the shore for supplies. At that time, even Gu Yun will be very passive. Mr. Ya's thinking is correct. It still lacks the ability to fight in the open sea.

"The commander of the enemy army is old, and he is cautious and cautious. It is not easy to be fooled, but he is also cautious. If the one I am facing today is He Ronghui from our Xuantie camp, even if the main ship is completely blown up, he will grab a small boat to follow him. I'm going all out, then it's going to be really difficult." Gu Yun whispered, rubbing his eyes subconsciously—his vision was blurred, and he didn't notice it because he was too nervous just now, and now he realized that he should drink After the medicine was finished, he smiled at the shocked Yao Zhen, and ordered, "Go back!"

Back in the commander's tent, Gu Yun didn't dare to rest. He wanted to make up an emergency battle report to the imperial court, and he also had to deploy battle preparations to avoid this kind of stretched situation from happening again, so he had to ask someone to boil a bowl of medicine for him first. While waiting for the effect of the medicine, he was pondering how to deal with the Western Army in the future. Suddenly, a sharp pain shot up from his back and the back of his head that had been hit black on the boat just now. Gu Yun's hands trembled. The millstone fell out of his hands.

He gritted his teeth, stretched out his hand to support the table, and waited for the wave of pain to pass.

But this time the pain was extraordinarily severe, and it took him half an hour to toss, and Gu Yun's back was covered in cold sweat before the numbness gradually eased.

At this time, Gu Yun discovered a serious problem.

He should have regained clear sight and hearing, but did not.
