Chapter 222 The Harvest of Conlun Island!
Chapter 222 The harvest of Kunlun Island!
"There is this possibility. If Ruan Wenhui died at this time, Prince Guangzan was not even ten years old, he would definitely not be able to take charge of the rule. However, Ruan Wenhui has always been strong. Although the civil and military officials under his command cannot be said to be a mess, no one can control the overall situation alone. If he is in a stable time, he can choose a person who can match the forces of all parties and maintain neutrality, and can maintain loyalty to Prince Guangzan to control the overall situation, he may be able to hold on. However, now, there are tigers and wolves in the north and south, and under the internal and external difficulties, no strong person integrates them into one. The Xishan Dynasty is indeed dangerous."
Sun Shijie, who was urgently summoned by Liang Pengfei to the warship, listened to the analysis of Liang Pengfei and Shi Xianggu, thought about it for a while and came to such a conclusion.
"Then I dare to predict that if Ruan Wenhui was either seriously ill or seriously injured in the battle, she would probably be alive soon. Therefore, she was already arranging a way out for her son." Liang Pengfei took a deep breath and made his judgment.
"My lord's words are reasonable, and I think this is the greatest possibility." Sun Shijie nodded and followed.
"So, there is one more thing to do now." Liang Pengfei raised his strong sword eyebrows and said.
Sun Shijie shook his head and frowned, as if he had encountered an intractable problem: "But sir, this matter is probably not difficult. You are now a military general in the court and are in a hostile relationship with Ruan Wenhui. You also led the troops to kill nearly 10,000 soldiers in Xishan Dynasty and captured Guiren, the important city of Xishan Dynasty. If they had ulterior motives, your safety... If they did not want to surrender to the Qing Dynasty and the Xishan Kingdom was destroyed, then they still have a way to go. Go south to join Nguyen Phucing. If so, it would be very disadvantageous for Master's plan. After all, although the navy of the Xishan Army was small, they were all elite. If they joined Nanruan, they would definitely be able to help."
"How about this, my Shi family will recommend it and thread it into a needle." Shi Xianggu saw that Liang Pengfei and Sun Shijie were silent, and couldn't help but say. "Mo Guanfu and my Shi family are cousins and have a good relationship. In addition, when his cousin Mo Guan was excluded and suppressed by Zheng Lianchang, my Shi family once extended a helping hand. Although he dared not say that he could guarantee it, it was always a choice for him."
Liang Pengfei thought for a while, raised his eyes and looked at Shi Xiang Gu. "Your brother should do this. Your health has not yet fully recovered. In addition, you still need you to take charge of the overall situation. Besides, I only need your brother to introduce Mo Guan to me to help me, and I will talk to him."
Hearing Liang Pengfei's words, Shi Xianggu couldn't help but feel sweet. Looking at her lover's Qiushui's eyes, the meaning of love and happiness flowing in her eyes was something that even the blind man could see. As a subordinate, Sun Shijie was embarrassed to watch the big show, so he had to stare at his tea bowl and study whether the tea leaves inside were Mingcha or Yucha.
After the Liang family army cleared the port and dock, the fleet of King Crab Island directly unloaded all the people and supplies to the dock and left Guiren and returned to the base. They gathered together in just one day, making Liang Pengfei and Shi Xianggufen unable to leave outside the country.
"In a few days, if you need it, I will come to see you again. In addition, I will ask my brother to come and help you as soon as possible." Shi Xianggu held Liang Pengfei's hand. Although the smile on her face looked so sweet, there was a hint of melancholy about to part.
"Well, I know, let me tell Bingjie and Maria that I'm fine, so that they don't have to worry about me." Liang Pengfei whispered in Shi Xiang Gu's ear. Shi Xiang Gu subconsciously pouted, but nodded. While Liang Pengfei couldn't see enough of his inadvertent jealousy, he also felt that it was really a bit like that if he asked Shi Xiang Gu to pass on such words.
"Don't worry, I will definitely bring you my words, but you must be obedient and don't take risks at any time. Otherwise, even if I spare you, we Baoer will not spare you. He hasn't seen his father yet." Seeing Liang Pengfei's embarrassed expression, Shi Xianggu couldn't help but burst into laughter and said sweetly.
Liang Pengfei tightly held Shi Xianggu's soft hand tightly: "Don't worry, I will take care of myself. By the way, when I arrived at King Crab Island, I would like to tell my godson that he wanted to make achievements and had opportunities. His current task is to study hard. When he finished learning the abilities of the teachers on King Crab Island, he could come to me when he would."
Now that Zhang Baozai is almost ten years old, but a little kid wants to kill people, set fire and make achievements all day long, and he is also very troubled. Liang Pengfei had no choice but to throw this little guy to the Crab King Island and let him study hard there. He can't spoil this guy as a little bully.
"Well, Baozai has been working hard, and now he is getting taller. In addition, he has studied hard for half a year and is like a little adult when speaking and doing things." When Zhang Baozai mentioned, Shi Xianggu's face had a smile, which seemed to have blown away the sorrow of parting. "It's time for me to leave."
"Well, go, it takes three to five months, and it takes one year. At that time, I will come back." Liang Pengfei hugged Shi Xiangu tightly in his arms, sniffing the fragrance on her cheeks deeply and whispered.
This time, Shi Xianggu didn't care about the people around her, and wrapped her arms around Liang Pengfei's waist and nodded lightly.
"Young Master, what should I hide in the supplies, what should I do if the new staff are coming?" Bai Shusheng walked to the edge of the dock, looked at Liang Pengfei, who could no longer see the shadow of the tall sail, and cleared his throat and reported.
"Let them stay in the place we arranged, and let them test them, and see if their Annan language is authentic or not. If they want to be an imperial guard for Li Weiqi, the king of Annan, it is impossible for them to even speak Annan dialect. If that is the case, why should I ask them to come? In addition, let Wu Qianjin draw 500 loyal and reliable people from the recruits, let them take two of them one, and give them another month, at least they will be smooth."
"Yes, I'll do it now." Bai Shusheng knew that Liang Pengfei was in a bad mood now, so he naturally didn't dare to talk nonsense. After receiving the order, he hurriedly walked towards the other side.
Liang Pengfei took a deep breath of the air mixed with the salty smell, thinking that in the next time, he would have to be busy, and he would have to be busier than before. Now, Nan Ruan made the Nanyang Navy led by Zhang Xingba dizzy. The bow cup and snake shadow caused Zheng Lianchang to divide his navy into three parts, one calms Jiading, one calms Jinlan Bay, and the other patrols along the coast to prevent those "Spanish warships".
According to the information they received, they had definitely gained a lot on Kunlun Island. Although there were not many precious metals such as gold and silver on Kunlun Island, they had the best shipbuilding material teak, a ship designer and three shipbuilding technicians hired from France. In addition, more than 600 skilled shipbuilders were all captured by them to Nanyang in one go.
What Liang Pengfei was most pleased with was that he got these craftsmen and French. With them, the Central Archipelago could build a shipyard to build warships in the shortest time.
You should know that the current ship craftsmen in the Lao Liang family can at most be able to repair and repair, and at most they can build armed clutches. The Spanish treasure ships, as well as the captured Spanish warships and British warships, are definitely not something they can explore and build in a short time.
Although these warships have samples, many things cannot be learned by seeing them. However, these French people have been exposed to various Western merchant ships and warships, and their understanding of these ships must be deeper. With them, Liang Pengfei's goal of designing and building more powerful warships can finally be realized in advance.
It is still the era of great sailing. Moreover, at this time, Liang Pengfei's eyes were peering at the South Ocean, even Australia further south, North America far away from the ocean, and India heading west. In this era, if you want to roam the ocean, you rely on warships and sea strength. Liang Pengfei did not expect that he could form a fleet that could only compete with the British at sea in a short time, but at least he could be able to resist the enemy from the country.
At least during the period when he was cleaning up the Qingting, the Westerners would not want to take advantage of themselves. Therefore, Liang Pengfei thought about occupying Kunlun Island and letting Najuan and others help plunder the craftsmen and equipment.
Now, the looted French people have raised their greedy hands in front of money. These people originally came to Asia for wealth and came to Kunlun Island to design and build warships for Nguyen Phuc Ying. Now that they have been plundered by Zhang Xingba, they naturally will not take any pretentious measures after they have received generous compensation in both psychological and material aspects. This made Liang Pengfei feel very pleased, and fortunately, the Europeans are worthy of being the executor of interests.
Ding Kesheng was worried about his discomfort in the low and narrow Fumei City. Every day he arranged a large number of spies to pay close attention to the movements in the south. However, what surprised him was that the Qing Dynasty naval gentry general had no intention of going north. He was practicing troops every day, as if this was his purpose in Annan.
As the opponent's strength continued to expand, Ding Kesheng had no choice. First, the troops in his hand were not enough to launch another attack on Liang Pengfei; second, even if he had enough troops, he still had to consider whether he could defeat this Qing general who scared him.
The opponent's dense gun roar and the terrifying weapon that made the war elephant retreat were like a demon nightmare hovering in his sleep, which made him really unable to find a way to deal with it.
However, when the prince Guangzan arrived in Hue under the escort of Chen Tianbao and Prime Minister Ruan Guanghe, and the envoy sent by Ruan Wenhui did not blame him for his defeated army, but only allowed him to firmly uphold Fumei's will, his uneasy finally got much better.
