Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 76 Opponent
January of 699 was not a very quiet month. With the imperial edict to invite the princes to Beijing to discuss politics, the whole empire was in turmoil like boiling water. , and even many countries and forces such as Liberia/Maqihan/Milan/Japanese have set their sights on their struggling giant neighbor. The change of the imperial power of the Tanghe Empire directly affects the foreign policy of the empire. Taking advantage of this rapidly changing situation to seek more considerable benefits for one's own side has become the focus of attention of all forces. For a time, people from all walks of life gathered in the imperial capital, actively working to achieve their respective intentions and goals.
As Cheng Dayou's confidant, An Long has been following his lord since Cheng Dayou joined the Taiping Army. He has experienced the glory and decline of the Taiping Sect. However, after the Battle of Jiujiang, Anlong began to withdraw from the military and entered the political circle, becoming Cheng Dayou's political spokesperson. Cheng Dayou paid more attention to Anlong's talents in government affairs. Dayou knew that the importance of government affairs was no less important than military affairs, so he entrusted all the government affairs of the entire Jiujiang Mansion to Anlong without hesitation, and Anlong lived up to the heavy trust and managed all the government affairs of the entire Jiujiang Mansion in an orderly manner , Cheng Dayou's own political intentions were also implemented through Anlong's ingenious operation and maneuvering, making the gentry in the entire Jiujiang Prefecture accept Cheng Dayou's ruling power in essence within a short period of time.
Especially after being recruited by the central government of the empire, Cheng Dayou, who has gained a firm foothold in terms of status, has further consolidated his rule in Jiujiang Prefecture, and it is even more successful to win Huzhou, an important south of the Yangtze River. Dayou expanded a vast world. Anlong participated in the negotiations with Situ Tai and finally reached an agreement on the division of the Jiangnan area. The legion has laid a solid material foundation.
The turmoil in the East China Sea and the south of the Yangtze River has brought great opportunities for the development of Jiujiang and Huzhou. Although they cannot compare with the funds and personnel pouring into the western Xinjiang area, Huzhou and Jiujiang still get a lot of money from the adjacent areas by virtue of their good location advantages. A lot of help. The move of a group of industrial and commercial owners made Jiujiang and Huzhou, which were already quite affluent, the icing on the cake. The widening of the river between Taihu Lake and Yajiang even connected Huzhou and Jiujiang into one. Cheng Dayou persistently implemented tax cuts The low burden policy also won him the support of businessmen. On this point, Cheng Dayou and Wufeng's methods are exactly the same. Even when it was the most difficult time to enter Jiujiang, Cheng Dayou gritted his teeth and stood up. Taxes, and these measures of his have laid a good foundation for the prosperity of industry and commerce in the two provinces.
Several large ships docked on the shore of the lake lined up diagonally in parallel. An Long frowned slightly. No need to guess, An Long also knew that there were two smaller warships moored next to the boss's ship. They all belong to the Taihu Water Pirates who have been reorganized into the Taihu Water Army. Anlong doesn't know how his boss persuaded these water bandits who have been on the Taihu Lake and Yajiang River for decades, although Anlong knows that his boss I have never done anything unprepared, but at first I was overwhelmed by the adventurous move of my boss who went to the Taihu Water Village alone to visit the leader of the water bandits—Shuilong Kanda Jinbao after he took control of Huzhou. There are countless cases of accepting the imperial recruiting for peace, but repeatedly recruiting, and then recruiting again. There are countless such cases. Although the imperial inland water army has the upper hand, it has never been able to really control this water area. It can be seen that the gang of water The strength and tenacity of the bandits. However, An Long believed that the gang of water bandits had truly surrendered to his lord. There were at least three chances that the lord could easily kill all the water bandits, including all the leaders of the water bandits. They caught them all, but Cheng Dayou rejected his subordinate's proposal without hesitation, and warned his subordinates that they would be punished severely if they mentioned such topics in the future. Apart from being absolutely sure of mastering the gang of water bandits, there is no other reason to explain it. what?
However, An Long didn't have a good impression of the water army organized by these water bandits. It wasn't because of their water bandit background. The strong aura of banditry on his body made Anlong, who had gradually regarded himself as a regular official of the court, feel uncomfortable. But Anlong also had to admit that the leader of the opponent not only had a strong ability to command water battles, but also had a different view of the current situation. She has a sharp eye, and doesn't fit in with the other party's rude and rude style. Even the boss admires the other party's keen sense of smell.
But the footsteps did not stop, An Long went straight to the side of the boat, a sergeant had already come to put the boards on the boat for An Long and signaled An Long to board the boat, the side of the boat was even higher than the wharf by a large margin, this was originally a Taihu water bandit Captured a building ship of the Imperial Inland River Fleet, but was borrowed by the other party to offer flowers and Buddhas to become the boss's ship. It traveled between Taihu Lake and Yajiang River for a long time, and also became the itinerary mark of Cheng Dayou, the deputy commander of the Imperial Southern Military Region and patrol envoy of Taihu Lake.
Walking into the cabin, a wave of heat rushes towards your face. Although it is in the south of the Yangtze River, the severe winter has come. The charcoal stove was full of enthusiasm, and a maid had already come to undress Anlong, take off his outer clothes, and invite you to be seated..
Looking up at everyone present, An Long found that in addition to his boss and the current navy commander Tian Jinbao, there were two more men who looked like literati. An Long was a little surprised that he was able to board this boat. Apart from the few women of his boss, there are only a few capable generals in the army and himself, but these two people seem to have never met before, but they are able to stand proudly and disrespectfully in it, which is obviously deep. A person who is valued and trusted by the boss.
Sitting next to Cheng Dayou, the middle-aged man has a hulking back, a head like a bronze bell, a face like a full moon, a face of a sitting Maitreya Buddha, and a pair of slightly closed eyes that are cold. This is known as the number one in Taihu Lake The heroic Whale King Tian Jinbao, who once represented Taihu Lake pirates and pirates on his own in the Atlantic Ocean, competed with the numerous pirates and ronin in the Atlantic Ocean, but did not lose the wind at all, and won the imperial waterway. The heroes are unanimously praised.
He sat firmly on the top spot of the Taihu Lake heroes for thirteen years. His success fell short, and in the later period, he repeatedly defeated the inland river fleet of the Imperial Navy. He repeatedly recruited the Empire, but he always controlled the main force of the Taihu water bandits, which made the Empire helpless. But he was growing up. After Hui You worshiped the mountain gate, he honestly surrendered to Cheng Dayou's command, which also surprised many heroes who lived on the waterways in the empire.
Cheng Dayou had a thoughtful expression on his face, it seemed that the conversation just now gave him a lot of things worth aftertaste, which he couldn't fully digest for a while.
It should be said that he has transformed from a young general of the Taiping Army into a semi-independent warlord. In the past few years, Cheng Dayou has taken care of himself, and he already has the appearance of a lord of the land. It is indeed true to choose a suitable time to surrender to Situ Lang. He won a lot of points for Cheng Dayou. With the brand of imperial orthodoxy, the Jiujiang gentry who had a good impression of Cheng Dayou's policies became closer and closer to Cheng Dayou, and Huzhou was also in the bag. It made Cheng Dayou a little more ambitious.
"My lord, the disintegration of the empire is a foregone conclusion, and the Situ family's civil war is inevitable. Situ Biao thought that he could control the overall situation by controlling Ma Yuanxiang, but he underestimated Situ Tai too much. Situ Tai's means It is also ruthless enough and willing enough to tear apart several division heads who have been pinched in Ma Yuanxiang's hands ~IndoMTL.com~ Except for the confidant of Huangfu Tiancheng and Ma Yuanxiang who will never understand, the other three division leaders The regiment has changed to a new master, and there are too many variables in it. Situtai has three imperial guard regiments as backup, and the imperial capital will change the king's banner at any time." The scribe on the left is slightly thinner, A faint arrow mark passed between the cheeks, as if piercing just right, the falcon-like eyes were extremely sharp, but the slightly blue lips were thinner, and they looked not so kind.
An Long was startled, his eyes followed the thin scribe's words, and he happened to meet the other's gaze. Could it be that this guy is the guy who has been hiding in the dark, the intelligence director of his boss?
Seeing An Long's eyes looking over, he nodded kindly, and the skinny scribe continued: "There is another huge variable that is Li Wufeng, Li Wufeng is too strong now, so powerful that no one in the empire can restrain him Even Situ Tai is far inferior, perhaps the only thing that can restrain him is public opinion, but how long this so-called public opinion can restrain Li Wufeng, I am afraid even Li Wufeng himself does not know."
"The Kamans will not give up this opportunity so easily, but how they will use this opportunity and how deeply they will get involved is also a variable. It is said to be a huge threat, but it is a suitable partner in many people's minds at certain times and on certain occasions. Many members of the Situ family have had inextricable ties with the Kamans and the Poole people The connection between enemies and friends is too frequent, which makes people feel a little awkward. While they are choosing each other, the Kamanians are also choosing partners. And this storm will be their best How well they perform depends on their good fortune.”
