When it got dark, the sailors of the Zheng Dynasty finally began to sail out of the water village one by one and headed downstream, and Li Xiang was already on the way to Guangping at this time, and once she and Zheng San and the two were properly discussed, she would immediately return to Guangping.
Going ashore is almost the sphere of influence of Changnan, the token voucher issued by the civil affairs yamen is really very easy to use, there is almost no delay along the way, and even they changed a few horses in a small military camp, and finally when the lanterns are on, she rushed back to Guangping City.
Li Xiang dared to swear that when she woke up in the humble inn in the vestibule this morning, she never thought that her day would be so "colorful", however, she already felt a little unbearable, continuous long-distance travel, even for a strong man, is also a test of physical strength and physical bones, she is a weak woman, can hold on until now, has shown that she has long been far stronger than ordinary people.
Rao is so, when she saw the city wall of Guangping, she still felt as if her whole body was about to fall apart, especially the inner side of her legs, it was even more painful, and the tender skin there had already been rubbed off little by little in the bumps on the horse, and she didn't even need to look at it to know that it must be a mess.
The reaction of Guangping City was much faster than she imagined, just explaining her identity and intention to the guards at the city gate, after a stick of incense, Li Xiang appeared in the Guangping Civil Affairs Yamen, and this time, she saw not only Lin Qiaoqiao, in addition to Lin Qiaoqiao, there were two more girls, and in her judgment, these two girls were probably Su Qinghan and Lin Xiaohong, the leaders of the Guangping Civil Affairs Yamen and the Military and Political Yamen.
Until now, that Lin Wushuang has not appeared, and his shelf is really big.
Li Xiang was slightly resentful, but this negative situation was quickly expelled from her head, and the heads of the two major yamen, the military and civil affairs of the other party, appeared together, this specification is not too low, at least, it is much stronger than the last time she faced Lin Qiaoqiao, a young girl.
"My Chaoshui division has already set off from Shuizhai two hours ago, heading downstream, if there is no accident, at most one day later, it will rush to the location where your trapped fleet is, Assistant Lin, fortunately not disgraced" "General Changnan is loyal to the Zheng Dynasty and the third prince for their friendship" Lin Qiaoqiao was not the head of this conversation, but Lin Xiaohong: "Miss Li, can you contact your sailor at any time?"
"Yes" Li Xiang nodded, how could it be impossible to get in touch, isn't this a nonsense "If you have a heart, then please wait for Miss Li Xiang to contact your sailors, and tell them that my soldiers and horses in Changnan are also advancing towards the Ruan Dynasty, if they see two armies fighting on the shore, don't be surprised, let alone mix up, you show your banner, avoid all interference, and get to the location as soon as possible."
Lin Xiaohong paused and told the other party: "We have informed the whole army that for your sailors, they will not take the initiative to attack, and hope that they will not cause accidental injuries, which is very important, in addition, the rest of the things can only rely on you, and we can't help anything anymore."
"Understood, I'll contact the sailor immediately" Li Xiang Zhengse nodded, this was a big deal, she decided to do it once the meeting was over.
"After a tiring day, Miss Li is very sorry not to go, we have prepared a good meal and room, the girl will rest for a night, and we will talk about other things tomorrow."
"Is there a good meal" Li Xiang smiled slightly: "Thank you to Assistant Lin, I have seen it, but when it comes to tiredness, physical fatigue is not as tired as mental fatigue, if you don't talk about things well, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep tonight, anyway, I've been tired for a day, and I don't care about this moment, if a few people are free, I might as well say it for a while, just take it as a little reward for my running around for a day."
"In that case, it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate" The chef of the Yuelai Restaurant estimated that he had been waiting for the order here, and in less than a stick of incense after Lin Xiaohong promised Li Xiang to talk again, a good banquet appeared in front of several people on the table, although the exaggerated posture at noon could not be compared, but at this time, the hot soup and hot food were still very comforting to the tired Li Xiang.
"Regarding my battle against the water division this time, we want a little return" hurriedly filled his stomach, and Li Xiang said what he wanted to say.
"You say" Lin Xiaohong glanced at Su Su, who had not spoken on the side, and nodded at this Li Xiang.
"Military 100,000" Li Xiang had already thought about how he was going to open his mouth along the way, and at this time, he said it almost without hesitation, and he also believed that the other party would never bargain or anything.
"It's fair, this is no problem" Su Su said: "Cash or silver tickets, Miss Li Xiang can withdraw them at any time, this military fund, I Changnan still took it out" "I heard that Changnan once sent a batch of firearms to Ruan Wen of the Ruan Dynasty, at least nominally, the third prince of my family is also a little interested in Changnan's sharp firearms, and we are not too much to ask, since Changnan can give Ruan Wen, I want to come, and it is no problem to give the same batch to our prince" Li Xiang said while paying attention to the eyes of the few people in front of him, if the requirements for military funds are taken for granted, the requirements for firearms are a little sensitive, so he first threw out the precedent that the other party had given firearms to the Ruan Dynasty, and then made a request, that is, there is only one meaning, the enemy who is on the same level as you, you can still give away a batch of firearms, then, now you will not treat your allies who are in the snow "There is no problem with this" Su Su didn't hesitate, didn't even look at the other two, and agreed: "How many firearms we gave to Ruan Wen at the beginning, and now we will also give a batch to the third prince, only a little more."
The big man spoke, it was so happy, Li Xiang didn't have to think about the people below at all, the other party cared about how many of these firearms there were, and what kind of efficacy they had, she couldn't afford to lose that person, and the other party couldn't afford to lose that person, after reaching a consensus between each other, the specific small things would be handled by the people below.
"And the soft armor on your generals, it is said that it is also unique to Changnam, we want a little" Su Su nodded, this time, he didn't even bother to say that there was no problem, if the other party asked for this, she felt that the other party was really just like that, these requirements didn't need him and Lin Xiaohong to rush here in a hurry, Lin Qiaoqiao could handle it.
"Is that all" Lin Xiaohong said with a smile: "If there is only these, tomorrow Miss Li wakes up, we can prepare for Miss Li, I heard that Miss Li plans to do some business in our vestibule city, Director Su also specially ordered the forecourt civil affairs yamen to allocate a place for Miss Li to make others blush, to show our gratitude to Miss Li in this matter, of course, all this does not cost money, and Miss Li's property, in the vestibule city, is to enjoy the treatment of our own people in Qingfeng Camp, I hope this little gift will satisfy the girl."
If the front is a business matter, then what Lin Xiaohong said at this time is a private matter, since the official affairs have been completed, then if the person who handles this matter can't get any benefits, it is too impersonal, in this regard, whether it is Su Su or Lin Xiaohong, there will be no lack of this bit of human sophistication.
"If you have a heart, then I will be disrespectful" Li Xiang first put the thing in his arms, smiled and thanked him, and then said with a little hesitation: "Actually, we still have one last request, but this request is afraid that it is a little sensitive, I said it, don't think I have ulterior motives."
"It's okay, everyone is friends, if you have anything to say, it's better to hide it in your heart and let the other party guess" Su Su said with a smile: "You have done us such a great favor today, you say it, we can promise you, we will not prevaricate" Li Xiang has not been an official in the officialdom, nor has he understood the breadth and profundity of the clichés of the Ming officialdom, Su Su's seemingly all-encompassing words, in fact, can be understood from another aspect, what can be promised, will not prevaricate, then, if you can't agree, then naturally there is no room for negotiation at all, what can be promised and what can't be promised, isn't it a matter between the minds of the people who said this Therefore, Li Xiang heard what the other party said, his expression relaxed slightly, and it seemed that he was brewing for a while before he spoke: "I heard that outside Guangping City, there is a heavily guarded mine, which produces some precious ores, and the meaning of our third prince is that I can visit the mine to see if I can find such a mine in the territory of my Zheng Dynasty in the future, and when the time comes, we will develop it together, and sell it to you to open up, which can also make the relationship between our two families more solid."
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the three girls opposite suddenly became very subtle, Su Su and Lin Xiaohong were okay, both of them could control their expressions, but Lin Qiaoqiao's face was a little weird, so strange that even Li Xiang could see that something was wrong.
"Did I say something wrong" Li Xiang was a little uneasy, the military funds in front, firearms or something, the third prince didn't care at all, he cared about this last one, the other party in front of him agreed to his request, if he refused on this request, then he didn't get anything.
"No, I didn't say anything wrong" Lin Xiaohong coughed, reminded Lin Qiaoqiao to pay attention, and then turned around: "Miss Li really just wants to visit, and then see if there are any similar mines in your Zheng Dynasty?"
"That's right" didn't lie at all, so Li Xiang didn't hesitate at all when he answered, of course, as for what he said later, there should really be a similar mine, and the two would jointly develop or sell it to Changnan, just listen to this kind of thing, if it is serious, it can only be said that it is too naïve.
"The purpose of the ore produced in these mines, presumably Miss Li Xiang is also very clear" Lin Xiaohong made a solemn face.
Li Xiang nodded, but looked directly into the other party's eyes, that's right, we just know what your ore is for, know how your firearms come from, our Zheng Dynasty has no shortage of skilled craftsmen, what is lacking is only some skills and raw materials.
"To be honest, this request is very difficult for us" Lin Xiaohong's appearance, as serious as possible, not like nonsense at all: "However, we attach enough importance to the friendship of the Zheng Dynasty and the third prince of Zheng, so even if this request is a bit excessive, we still promise you, and we can even promise you to take away a batch of ore for samples, but, that's all, in addition, we will not agree to any request about this ore cave, this, Miss Li Xiang, can you understand" It is completely understandable that if the third prince is in the hands of such a mine, he will definitely not be so generous, Li Xiang can be sure of this.
The source of this militaristic weapon that can arm the army, anyone who monopolizes it in their hands, will bring huge returns, from this point of view, Changnan does things, there is really no discipline, or rather, there is no ambition, change the explanation, if you replace the opposite side with yourself, Li Xiang asked herself, a friendly fleet and a fleet that can make your own army rise, between the two, I am afraid that my choice will be like the third prince, I would rather give up that fleet, than let the monopoly resources in my hands be open to others Changnan is short-sighted and difficult to achieve great things This was the first thought that came to Li Xiang's mind when he returned to the room he had arranged, this time it was almost the result of the meeting at the top of Zheng San's strength and Changnan's strength was harmonious, friendly, and win-win, but in the same way, it also made Li Xiang feel that he had seen through the other party.
Also, a group of women to take care of the forces, where can the atmosphere go, I heard that the important generals of their troops, among them are also women, the three major battalions of the Qingfeng Battalion, and the commanders of the two major battalions are all women, and the whole of Changnan is a yin and yang.
For the general Changnan who he has never met, Li Xiang has almost sketched the image of the other party, lustful, greedy for pleasure, nepotism, but his life is good enough, and when he makes a career, he can master the resources for making firearms, otherwise, maybe this person is just a nameless person.
Perhaps, the more incompetent he is, the better he is for the prince She muttered to herself, tied the written letterhead to the pigeon, and released it in the night, and the pigeon flew into the sky, carrying the results of her busy day, towards the fleet of Zheng Chao's sailors, who were slowly moving downstream in the night.
Farther away, after a day of fierce fighting, the Dongfan fleet was repeatedly wounded beasts, and they were wounding themselves on the river, and the river was full of floating corpses, and the river water in this section of the river, because of the existence of these corpses, also became extremely slow, and the turbid river water, and even a faint red color rolled in it. aa2705221 t1706231537:
