wait for me to be king

In war, what is fought is actually one word, that is money!

Where there is money, there are people, equipment, weapons, intelligence, food, and various resources.

So no matter what Wu Peng and Xie Changfeng want to do, they must first have money!

"Actually, in Jiaozhi, being a pirate is the quickest way to get money!" Wu Peng didn't regard Xie Changfeng as an outsider. The title will be gone, and their family will be lost, and they will become commoners again.

So after Wu Xiang's death, Wu Peng had the cheek to ask the first emperor for a military post, and went out to fight with many founding generals.

At that time, there were battles everywhere. Although Wu Peng had the title of Marquis of Hongyi, due to his age and experience, he could not be the commander-in-chief of the first army, so he could only be the second-in-command everywhere. Instead, he became a general who grew up with "eating a hundred families" .

He looked at Xie Changfeng, as if Ding Guogong looked at him back then, without the fear and unhappiness of ordinary people, but with a little more emotion and melancholy.

There are not many founders who are still alive today. They taught themselves back then, and now they should also benefit future generations and accumulate blessings for their descendants.

Therefore, he said in great detail, "Jiuzhen and Rinan in Linyi Kingdom are excellent seaports, even merchant ships from Fuzhou, Guangzhou, and Quanzhou will go to Nanyang from us, and it is said that Dashi and other countries can also travel along the sea. It can be said that the maritime trade in our area is extremely developed.”

Xie Changfeng silently recalled the map of the South China Sea. Yes, to the west of this place is Thailand, Malacca, India, to the south is Malaysia, Indonesia, to the east is Hainan Island, and after Hainan Island is the Philippines, Taiwan and the Ryukyu Peninsula. Cochin is a natural Hanoi The bay is the place where East and West meet!

And the most coveted thing is that the north of Jiaozhi is Nanzhao, Nanzhao's specialty ivory jade and various spices and jade... Although Nanzhao is also a state of the Chu Dynasty, it is okay to create some conflicts and plunder it!

Thinking about it this way, gold is almost everywhere here! !

"Robbery is not a long-term solution." Xie Changfeng shook his head, "It would be great if we can turn Jiaozhi into a pearl of the South Seas."

Wu Peng was taken aback, "Pearl of the South Seas?"

Xie Changfeng was silent for a moment, swallowed what was on his mind, and changed the subject, "To regain Lin Yiguo, we must use a two-pronged approach. On the one hand, we must step up military training, and on the other hand, we must find ways to make money."

Wu Peng rolled his eyes, "Nonsense."

"Do we have a navy here?"

"Navy? Is it a navy?" Wu Peng sighed, "There are a few shipyards, but the imperial court has never paid attention to navy, and our navy is just wandering around the sea. If we really want to go to sea, it is still a local merchant. The fleet under his command is more reliable."

Xie Changfeng took a deep breath, "I think we need to make a five-year plan."

Making money is not a matter of one or two years. After all, reputation takes time.

Wu Peng looked at Xie Changfeng with great interest, "How to say?"

"We want to do legitimate business, but as the general said, legitimate business is slow and the money is low, so we can combine it." Xie Changfeng unconsciously showed a slightly bloodthirsty smile, "While grabbing and selling, spend a share How do you feel about earning double the money?"

Wu Peng was happy, "Okay, you boy! As long as you can do it and poke a big basket, I will help you!"

That is to say, he dared to say that, it would take two and a half months at the fastest to send the letter from Jiaozhi to the capital, and this is the real command of the general abroad to be disobeyed!

Xie Changfeng and Wu Peng work together in a division of labor. Xie Changfeng is in charge of sea affairs, including making money and robbery. Wu Peng is in charge of all affairs on land, training scouts and weapons for fighting in the mountains. Draw lots and change every ten days to see who is unlucky.

It is said that after taking control of the government affairs of Jiaozhou, the power is not small, but why are the county guards of Jiaozhou unwilling to do it?

the reason is simple.

Because no matter what changes they make and what new policies they add, once Wu Peng is dissatisfied, the family will encounter bandits and pirates, and then... there will be no more.

After Wu Peng iron-bloodedly killed several idiots who played with power, no one wanted to take over government affairs anymore.

"This bunch of bastards, as long as they have power in their hands, they dare to play tricks on you, and even dare to collude with pirates to come and rob the county. Anyway, as long as you are killed, everything will be fine, so in Jiaozhi, you don't care about any mess, the most important thing It is my own life, and the soldiers in my hands!"

When Wu Peng taught Xie Changfeng his experience, his face was full of murderous intent, "Kill those who are disobedient! Kill those who dislike you! Kill those who play tricks! Kill those who resist! Kill those who cause disaster!"

"In this kind of extraterrestrial place, the teaching of saints is a piece of shit! Knife and blood are the truth!"

Xie Changfeng was stunned when he heard this, and he always felt that he was back in Datang, stepped on the road of three lives, and ran to the Valley of the Evil.But he likes this kind of simple and rude tune the most, so he nodded repeatedly to show that he has been taught.

After making a decision, Xie Changfeng got busy. He first investigated all the shipyards and merchants in Cochin, and then asked these shipyards to use their ships to offset taxes, and how many buildings, boats, yachts, and fighting ships were handed in each year, otherwise he would arbitrarily sell them Check!

The owner of the shipyard was naturally unwilling. Someone reported to Wu Peng and was suppressed by Wu Peng. Someone secretly played tricks on Xie Changfeng and was stabbed to death by Xie Changfeng. Seeing Xie Changfeng's fierce personal combat power, they finally became honest one by one.

Among them, Imperial Physician Liang played a huge role. Those who poisoned, those who used Gu insects, those who used evil fragrances, and those who used exotic flowers and herbs to do no good, all fell into the hands of Imperial Physician Liang.

Imperial Physician Liang also changed his previous listless appearance, researching local medicines all day long, as if he had rejuvenated a second time, and sometimes, Imperial Physician Liang wanted to slice Xie Changfeng for research.

He couldn't understand why Xie Changfeng could always guarantee that he was fine in the face of these mysterious and unpredictable poisonous insects and medicinal fragrances?

——Hehe, that’s because since arriving in Jiaozhi, Xie Changfeng has switched to the iron prison law inner strength method =v=

Under the Iron Prison Law inner strength method, a layer of Gang Qi will automatically appear on the outside of the user's body, which is like iron armor, unbreakable, and can also obtain the effect of impregnability and tenacity. Those messy things have not even approached his body. It was crushed into slag by that layer of Gang Qi.

And ever since he passed the test of Emperor Xuanming's cheating mother-in-law incense, Xie Changfeng has become more careful. As long as he doesn't use martial arts and consumes a lot of internal energy, he will automatically switch to internal breathing. On the one hand, he can cultivate internal energy all the time, On the one hand, it can also prevent messy breath.

That's why Xie Changfeng himself was safe and sound compared to the bloody Wu Peng who came here at the beginning, so the victims were his military adviser Zhao Ping and many personal guards.

If something happened to one of his own people, Xie Changfeng would be angry, and when he was angry, blood would flow like a river.

After this kind of thing happened several times, all the big clans in Jiaozhi County became quiet. If Wu Peng sometimes had scruples and would compromise a little, then the General Xie Changfeng Xie who came this time had no scruples.

He didn't bring a wife and children with him, he was powerful, clear-headed, and full of evil spirits, such a murderous god stared at everyone every day...

Ha ha.

By the time Xie Changfeng settled everything, the time had come to the end of the year, and it was the New Year.

Xie Changfeng was alone, and he was not in the mood to celebrate the New Year. After Wu Peng heard about it, he sent someone to invite him to celebrate the New Year with him.

Wu Peng's wife is not a Han Chinese, but the daughter of the Miao patriarch who fled from Nanzhao. After he married this wife, he dared to pat his chest and say that he had sex, otherwise the endless strange poison here would be enough for him to drink A pot is up.

Xie Changfeng has no prejudice against ethnic minorities, and he doesn't think wearing gold and silver clothes is weird and inappropriate, so when facing this Mrs. Wu, his attitude is calm and generous, and he treats him as a friend, which makes Mrs. Wu feel good.

Afterwards, Mrs. Wu also said to Wu Peng, "It is said that the Han people despise us barbarians, but that General Xie didn't think so of me!"

Wu Peng laughed, "Because he is similar to Lao Tzu's three views!"

Madam Wu smiled coquettishly for a while, then sighed again, "Are you really planning to leave here?"

Wu Peng hummed, and gently stroked his wife's long hair, which was adorned with all kinds of silver ornaments, which made her black hair darker and her fair skin whiter, "I have been married to you for so many years, and I always want to take you back to my hometown. Then the underground parents will see you."

Mrs. Wu felt uneasy, "Will your family despise me?"

"Who dares to despise you?!" Wu Peng cheerfully said, "Whoever despises you, I will beat him to death!!"

Mrs. Wu's heart is sweet. Back then, she wanted to marry this Han family despite the obstacles of the elders of the clan, because he was so eloquent and promised so much money.

"Wait a few more years, and I will take you to live a good life."

Wu Peng said softly, "The capital is beautiful and has everything. Let's build a big mansion and dig a river for you so that you can go boating on the river. If you miss your hometown, I will ask the emperor for leave and return to the fields. Let's travel the world..."

Mrs. Wu nestled gently in Wu Peng's arms, her eyes were like water, and her affection was long.

Two years later, Xie Changfeng led a fleet to sail, and Wu Peng led [-] troops, divided into two groups, to attack Jiuzhen of Linyi Kingdom by surprise. After three days and nights of fighting, the Chu army defeated Linyi, and the battle line directly advanced to the Jiude area.

Xie Changfeng discussed with Wu Peng again that Wu Peng would stick to the nine virtues, and Xie Changfeng would attack Champa from sea and land, trying to break through the opponent's imperial city.

The Lord of Linyi Kingdom held on to Zhancheng for three months, Xie Changfeng couldn't attack for a long time, so he had to retreat temporarily, and joined Wu Peng who had rushed to Xijuan.

At this time, Emperor Xuanming, who was far away in the capital, knew that the Chu Dynasty had already started a war with Lin Yiguo? !

Emperor Xuanming scolded Wu Peng and Xie Changfeng angrily, and issued an order to reprimand them, and asked them to withdraw their troops immediately and return to court to plead guilty.

It's a pity that the imperial decree had not left the Gyeonggi area, but the good news came that Xie Changfeng and Wu Peng broke Linyi, and Linyi destroyed the country.

Emperor Xuanming: =口=! !

Qi Yuan took the opportunity to say, "Congratulations to my father for expanding the territory and adding another territory to our Great Chu Dynasty!!"

Emperor Xuanming thought right!He can be regarded as making up for the great achievements of the first emperor, and will be recorded in the annals of history in the future. He can also be regarded as an emperor with martial arts and martial arts!

So he was happy again.

Emperor Xuanming was even happier when the memorial written by Zhao Ping himself reached the capital.

In the memorial, Zhao Ping praised Emperor Xuanming a lot, and then said that the people in Linyi all hoped to submit to the Great Chu and bathe in the emperor's favor, and the ministers did not dare to act recklessly, and asked His Majesty to make a decision.

Emperor Xuanming was overjoyed and asked Wu Peng, governor of Jiaozhou, to personally escort the royal family of Linyi Kingdom to Beijing. As for Xie Changfeng...

The corner of his mouth twitched, forget it, this kid will continue to stay in the south!
