[Comprehensive] The five elements are short of money

The road is tortuous, but the future is bright. After this crisis, the future will be smooth.When he arrives in Wuzhou, he integrates land and water trade routes, cooperates with overseas merchant ships, and turns Wuzhou and even Guangdong into a commercial holy land, resulting in a separatist situation. Is he still afraid that the royal family will turn their backs in the future?The biggest difficulty was Fang Xiaocun, the prefect of Wuzhou, who did not cooperate. He was not afraid.

With a beautiful dream in mind, Xue Xun went all the way south along the canal, preparing to enter the sea from Hangzhou Bay.

Zhu Qing is considered to be a sister-in-law who has aroused great repercussions among the maids. In the past, no matter how nice Xue Xun said, everyone listened to it. Even if they were moved in their hearts, it was just a big cake. Now looking at the sister who was on duty with him yesterday, Today I became a "Miss, Miss" who wanted to salute, how could I not be shocked.

Zhu Qing is not an arrogant person either, he is still calm and kind, he just said: "We are all sisters, and in the future my brother will find a way for everyone, there is no need to be polite, we are still sisters."

The maids thought half of it was paid, and the remaining half was to see Zhu Qing's marriage. If Xue Xun could find a good family for Zhu Qing, the rest of them would probably devote their lives to Xue Xun wholeheartedly.

Juanbi said it well, "Serving someone is not serving, at least the master treats us as human beings."

The merchant ships led by the Xue family stopped at the pier in a mighty way. Looking around, the prosperous Hangzhou city in the past is now dilapidated and desolate.The refugee rebellion was more serious than Xue Xun thought, and it was more serious than the court thought. Jinling could break the city, not to mention Hangzhou, which is further south.

The merchant ships following Xue's family docked one after another. The terminal of their water transportation was Hangzhou, and the rest had to go by land.

"I don't know what's going on in the south, but the sea route is smooth?" Xue Xun sighed looking at the ruins outside. In every war, tens of millions of people died on this land. I heard that there was a typhoon in the south last year, and natural disasters* , Let the population decrease rapidly, and the city decays rapidly.

Xue Xun still had time to worry about the country and the people, so Yinshuang trotted in and said, "Master, has Nanchang been destroyed?"

"Nanchang? How is it possible? Isn't Qi Wei in Nanchang? Garrison guards, the refugees can beat them?" Xue Xun couldn't believe it.

"It's not the refugees, it's the rebellious army. Someone rebelled. He called himself the Little White Dragon King and led the hungry and crazy refugees to attack the military grain warehouse in Nanchang! There are also rebels in the garrison. Under the attack of internal and external troubles, the garrison is vulnerable Defeat!" At the beginning, Qi Wei, Minister of the Ministry of household affairs, was assigned to Nanchang to manage the south and radiate the surrounding area. Nanchang's geographical location is critical, close to Poyang Lake, and connected by the Ganjiang River. Antarctica, Guangdong and Fujian, connected to the river and the sea, are not empty words.Such an important strategic location has been breached, and one can imagine the extent of the situation crisis.Sending the Minister of the Household Department here, it is difficult to guarantee that the royal family has no intention of leaving a way out, and the companions of spare tires have become like this, the court is in danger!

"Who is Little White Dragon King? Is Qi Wei still alive? Has Nanchang City been occupied by Little White Dragon King? Did he massacre the city? What is the way?" Xue Xun asked anxiously.

"Little White Dragon King claims to be a god who came down to earth and was a real dragon. He led the people to overthrow the false dragon court in Daqing. His name has not been found out yet, and his background has never been announced. It seems to have popped up suddenly. But according to his subordinates' investigation, He should be a water bandit on Poyang Lake, the refugees are rampant, natural disasters are rampant, and even robbery can't fill his stomach. After Qi Wei went south, he commanded the garrison to sweep up the bandit villages everywhere. This little White Dragon King should have had an enmity with Qi Wei at that time. It's strange to say that if someone else has acquired a major city like Nanchang, they would not hurry up to send troops to strictly guard it and manage their power, but after the Little White Dragon King attacked and looted for a while, the handsome man hid back in Poyang Lake, which is really puzzling."

The one who dares to be the first to show that the chariots and horses turned against the court cannot be a fool without any plans.It is an excellent qualification and bargaining chip. No matter whether it is to occupy the city in order to achieve great things, or as a bargaining chip to recruit security, Nanchang should not be given up.

"Is the original food treasure in the city still there?" Xue Xun asked.

"It was evacuated." Yinshuang was stunned. Could it be that she was really just a water bandit leader who was used to it?

"This Little White Dragon King is really cautious. What is he guarding Nanchang City? The court realized that he was the first one to encircle and suppress him. He has many capable ministers and generals who can appease the people in the city. Taking advantage of the common people, set off a mutiny again. Returning to the old lair in Poyang Lake is much safer, anyway, the food and treasures have been taken away, and now in this world, no amount of money can compare to the realness of food." In troubled times, food is the hard currency.

"According to Master's analysis, this little White Dragon King is not a fool." Yinshuang sighed.

The one who dares to be the first to stand out, even if he is stupid, is also a courageous person. I don’t know how many peasant uprisings have been set off for thousands of years. Only Chen She and Wu Guang listed "family" separately, isn't it just a first word?Bring out the banner first, and when people want to find a way out in the future, he will be the first thing that comes to mind.Xue Xun had the same idea to connect with the merchants on the boat.

"Is Qi Wei alive?"

"There is no news yet. Even if Qi Wei is alive now, he won't be able to live for long. Your Majesty is not a benevolent person, and the crown prince is watching." Yinshuang sighed. It is better to just guard the city and give the family members (hostages) who stay in Beijing a way to live.Since they haven't heard from Qi Wei yet, it proves that he is not dead.

"The prince is still there?" Xue Xun asked in amazement, is it really a scourge for thousands of years?

"The people are in a panic, so naturally the prince needs to stabilize the people's hearts. Now when the wind and rain are turbulent, he can't stand the wind and waves." Yinshuang replied.

Xue Xun was right when he thought about it. The prince is also an important symbol of the stability of the court. The presence of a prince proves that the court's succession is hopeful. The peasant uprisings in every dynasty have never stopped. If you really want to give up the prince for the sake of the peasant uprising, then the prince of the country is too unhappy. valuable.Now what the emperor is asking for is nothing more than the word "stability", if there is another rebellion in Beijing, the court will really be over.

Xue Xun regretted that he didn't take the opportunity to pull the prince down, and don't let the prince ascend the throne in the future.

Xue Xun sighed, the number of news letters reporting to him was getting thicker and thicker day by day, there were more and more things that the world needed to pay attention to, and there were more and more things that required him to make up his own mind, the chaos in the world could be seen.

"Forget it, what do you have to do with me, get ready to go into the sea." Xue Xun put his hands away. What he should worry about was Wuzhou, where it was relatively calm.

Rest in Hangzhou City for one night, and then enter the sea. From then on, the sea is wide and the fish leaps. Xue Xun enters the dream with a beautiful imagination, and then wakes up in the middle of the night.

"Wow..." Xue Pan cried out at the right time, and Wang Xue got up in panic, fearing that something might happen again just like in Jinling City.

"Relax, coax the child first, I'll come as soon as I go." Xue Xun comforted him. If it was really an emergency, the visitor would not knock on the door outside, but just barge in.

Xue Xun put on his clothes and opened the door, only to see Yinshuang standing at the door anxiously. As soon as Jian went out, he immediately said: "Master, Nan'an has been defeated!"

Xue Xun's eyes widened, and he couldn't even ask a rhetorical question. He was so surprised and strange. That was a so-called 20 army. How could he not be able to handle even a small Qianxiang country? Qianxiang used to be a vassal state of Daqing. !

Yinshuang went on to explain the situation clearly: "The King of Nan'an was defeated. Qian Xiang launched an attack during the Chinese New Year, pretended to be defeated to lure the enemy, and defeated the army in one fell swoop. Now the defeated army is rushing towards Hangzhou!"

Destroy the army!This is worse than the army blocking the way. The army still has discipline to speak of. The defeated army can only be organized and skilled bandits. With such a large number of bandits blocking the sea, what should they do?

"How did King Nan'an lose?" Xue Xun jumped in anger.

"Subordinate..."

"Forget it, don't worry about how he was defeated, what should we do now? Where is the defeated army? Are you sure they are going to land from Hangzhou? Why didn't they land from Huating? How many ships came over? How did Qianxiang react? Already?" Xue Xun was dying of anxiety!

"The scouts came to report that the rout army is about to land in Hangzhou in five days' journey. The navy that came was defeated and fled. The number of manpower and ships can't be counted. Qianxiang Kingdom has also landed." Yinshuang sighed, they used eagles and falcons Sending messages is a little better than fast horses and fast boats, but it is not much better. The news is not so easy to inquire about, and they often cannot deliver it in time.

"What should I do? What should I do?" Xue Xun blocked the door of the bedroom and circled around, knocking himself on the head non-stop. Civil strife and foreign invasion are completely different.

"Master, don't worry too much. Qianxiang should fight for peace, and then go back after burning, killing and looting." Yinshuang comforted.

"You don't understand!" Xue Xun sighed. For thousands of years, there has never been an example of a country rebelling against the Central Plains dynasty. No one knows how ambitious the country is, but Xue Xun, who has experienced it, knows that half of the country fell, and countless people with lofty ideals threw their heads. It is blood that drives away the invaders, no one understands better than Xue Xun!

"Master, go to the study." Yinshuang reminded.

After being reminded by Yinshuang, Xue Xun realized that he was at the door of the bedroom, and Wang Xue must have heard what he said just now.Xue Xun remedied: "The imperial court is incompetent, and the king of Nan'an County is incompetent. The 20 troops will not all die. Heroes emerge in troubled times. Which general in the original army is not as solid as the airborne King of Nan'an County. As long as the remnants are gathered, there will be no one left The power of battle. The main battlefield is still in Huating, Hangzhou is safe. You go and transfer our two ships with forts, even if we meet, we will not be slaughtered."

Yinshuang answered Xue Xun's signal loudly.

"By the way, where is the person who came to meet him?"

"Second Master's fleet is already on the way. It's inconvenient to send news by sea. I don't know where it is."

"As soon as the second younger brother came, he became even more powerful. Let's go, let's go to the study to discuss."

Xue Xun talked nonsense with his eyes open, and dragged Yinshuang away.

Xue Wang, who was only one door and window away, stood behind the door in a daze. She was fully dressed, hugged Xue Pan, and was ready to evacuate at any time.
