In the Ziyun Pavilion in the back garden of the Jieya in Zicheng, Yangzhou, the Huainan Jiedushi, riding on a wooden crane, the Prince of Bohai and the Taiwei Gao Pian, suddenly woke up; he felt so confused that he was so heavy that he had to use his hands and feet to barely climb down from this huge puppet that he made a lot of money.

It was not until the moment his bare soles touched the floor, the cold feeling made his senses, which had been dull and numb, come back suddenly, and then turn into some kind of hunger and fatigue like a tide; he could not wait to swallow the purple bud pill for fasting.

However, Zhang Shouyi, the serving boy who should have been waiting by his side at all times, and the real person who specializes in refining the big and small elixirs for himself to remove the filth in the body of the mortal body, disappeared at once, leaving behind a huge quiet room that was empty.

You should know that these Taoist children were specially selected among hundreds of thousands of people in Yangzhou according to their birth date and eight characters, and were born at a specific time. They are said to be born with a natural pure energy and help to practice and ward off evil spirits. After forming a formation according to the ancient Luoshu, they have the miraculous effect of protecting the Dharma.

The essence of hardware, medicine of Jiuzang, treasure of the four seasons, and the size and return elixir refined by Zhang Shouyi can make people transcend the mortal body, enter Qingming, and observe the many magical and strange realms of the Heavenly Court immortal class from afar. However, this old and old body is really hard to support the spirit for a long time;

Therefore, we need to stay away from the troubles and indulgences of the earthly affairs and the troubles of guests and concubines; then use the purple bud pill to fill the marrow and essence to strengthen the foundation, and then drink rootless water/the clear dew hanging in the sky, and enter the way of fasting to vomit the old and accept the new;

But the irrepressible feeling of hunger in his body at this moment made him feel that he was still a common thing and wanted to abandon the constraints of this old-fashioned skin. He gasped and stopped for four times before he walked out of this place where he felt that he was not generous and pure enough.

However, the breeze blowing from the railing made him tremble and almost unable to stand firm. However, there was still no one around. Even though he screamed a few times, the sound disappeared into the wind with a very faint sound.

He reluctantly staggered down the ladder that he had not taken for a long time, but there was still no one in the lower elixir room, only the candles and lamp holders that had been extinguished for a long time; and the elixir tripod originally made of gold and jade was also a layer of dust and dirt, and there was nothing else.

Gao Pian couldn't help but feel anger in his heart. How could he be so lazy and unrestrained when he practiced Taoism? Wouldn't he have to take his own practice and be wasted all his previous efforts? He secretly made up his mind to punish Lu Zhenren strictly to be effective.

However, while searching for the possible residual elixir box, he accidentally knocked down an inconspicuous medicine cabinet. He immediately turned out many medicinal materials and looked familiar. In addition to the Polygonatum, ginseng and red arrows he had taken daily, there were also some strange-shaped objects, like the shape of a dried snake, turtle, toad.

This made Gao Pian's mind more and more chaotic and dizzy, and many unspeakable doubts emerged; however, when he finally arrived at the next level, he finally heard the long-lost silence of human voices.

But this voice was a bit weird, just like the sound made by those concubines who were flattering themselves in their early years. Thinking of this section, Gao Pian couldn't help but feel excited and poked his head out of the window inquiring.

I saw two white flower worms stacked in a row between the flowers and trees below, doing the unbearable things that were scattered by the sky and the earth. The clothes and other objects scattered beside them were dressed as Taoist children who were accompanying the array to practice on a daily basis.

This discovery made him furious and grabbed a pestle with a pounding pestle with his hands, swung it away and hit the two flesh worms. They were rolled down and trampled into a mess of flowers, but they jumped up and grabbed the clothes and went away.

However, at this moment, Gao Pian became even more angry, because he suddenly saw two swaying lumps among the two "Taotong children". How could a woman in his practice protectors get in?

What might be contained behind this made him feel heartbroken, but he trembled all over his body with anger. Had he been deceived and fooled by these lazy and lazy people for so long without knowing it?

However, the next moment, he saw the two flesh worms running away, pushing and escorting the victim who was disheveled and turned back. At this time, Gao Pian, who had already walked to the second floor of Ziyun Pavilion, couldn't help but regain his strictness as a famous general in the country:

"You are waiting for it, please come with me..."

"I've seen the minister..."

However, the moment these soldiers saluted, they rushed forward and clamped him up, dragged him out and ran away, and said in a not very respectful tone:

"There are evil people in the city who are in trouble and want to rob and harm the Lord. The real person ordered us to escort the Lord to settle down in the Taoist temple."

At the same time, it was like confirming the words of these soldiers, and the faint noise and impact sounds came from the front yamen in the distance.

——I am the dividing line—

In Yidu City, the capital of Qingzhou, Solomeng, who is a business representative of the Taiping Army and a marine businessman in Fujian, was also introduced to the yamen back flower hall of the Pinglu Jiedushi for the first time, and like most merchants in this world, he showed a variety of expressions of shock and awe.

His apparent identity is still from Fujian. He belongs to Zheng Yi, a former Fujian Observer appointed by the court a few years ago. He was appointed as Lianshuai of Fujian, a Tu tribe who was named Lianshuai of Fujian Province. He was just a member of the official under his command.

But in fact, a few years after he was forced to flee to the Taiping Army, he easily realized his long-cherished wish to return to his family and take revenge. Since Chen Yan, who was self-established as the Fujian Observer, was defeated and seriously injured and died because of his unsuccessful attempt to obtain Zhejiang East, the opportunity to return to his hometown has been sent to Solomeng.

But he resisted the temptation of this opportunity at his fingertips and insisted on completing the initial recruitment mission of Fujian, which was only a sea separated from Yizhou. Even though he passed by the coast again and again, he never tried to do anything except inquire about the news, and even went to the shore to spy on his own.

Later, he participated in the development of the Japanese waterway and the Northland trade route, and risked his life to gain enough weight and qualifications for his Northland navigation affairs; and then finally waited for the opportunity to ease the ripe melon-like permission.

As the Taiping Army swept across Jiangdong and pacified the last remnants of southern Zhejiang, it formed a land encirclement against the five prefectures in Fujian from the north, west and south. On the sea route to the east, no one could compete with the patrol fleet from Canton or the Taiping Navy heading south.

However, due to the subsequent influence of Chen Yan's defeat, Fujian Province fell into chaos in the struggle for power and profit and the slowdown of local people's hearts, so everything happened naturally.

Those who had participated in the persecution and division of the Solo family, as long as they were not dead, were tied to Solomon by their family, and still failed him; they only wanted to untie his knots and hatreds, and leave a way out for these Fujian sea merchant families.

After all, with the barren situation of "seven mountains and two rivers and half divided fields, half divided in the sea", there is no need to send troops to attack, but as long as they have the ability to block the coastal ports and cut off their channels for making a living and profit at sea, that is, they will cause serious famine and survival crises in the coastal areas of various prefectures in Fujian.

However, at this point, after experiencing the glory and glory of returning home in glory, and the avenge of revenge for his previous shame, Solomon felt a little dull and boring. Because he had seen the new world bigger and better, he no longer cared about the pitiful benefits of his hometown fighting for generations.

Therefore, in addition to sank more than a dozen related culprits, including the clan brothers who framed and designed themselves and occupied the concubine, and went to the mouth of the Minjiang River to worship the Dragon King of the Sea God, there was no more killing or harm. Even their relatives and families were spared, but were exiled to Yizhou on the other side.

Then he personally presided over the division of the huge Sok family into many small families, gathering the young and strong people to settle in Yizhou; he cut off the last bit of bonds and bonds with the past old background.

However, as a relative means of punishment/compensation, he also coerced and tempted these maritime merchant families and local heroes to hand over a large number of children of tribesmen to carry tools and animals, and then cross the sea to Yizhou;

Then, using these local families as media and springboards, they were allowed to get more exiles from the inland areas for a fee. Because he also remembered that the Taiping Army authorized himself to dig out the population resources along the coast of Fujian nearby to accelerate the demand for the development of Haiyizhou.

Therefore, the three states of Fu, Zhang and Quan along the coast of Fujian are now within the sphere of influence of the influence of the Taiping Army and controlled by the coastal inspection.

As long as the order from Canton or Dantu is called, although it is not possible to prevent Chiban from going out to sea; as long as a slightly larger sea ship, if you dare to go out to sea without permission, you will end up going but not returning (detention or sinking).

His personal actions of not forgetting the public also received corresponding rewards and commendations; because while tracing along a large stream on the Yizhou Island, he found coal seams that could be dug out in the open air and golden veins hidden in mountain rock cracks.

Therefore, with this qualification alone, he could successfully retire from the second line as a pioneer and founder, and his position as a business manager in the north of the Shangshui Bureau was transferred to the role of remote control and commanding others behind the scenes.

But he was still running on the front line between the north and the south. On the one hand, he was not satisfied with his current foundation and achievements, and wanted to gain a better position and go further in the new dynasty represented by the Taiping Army. For example, he cleared away the reputation of the descendants of cruel officials and passed it on to the world as capable ministers and officials.

On the other hand, he also felt some urgency and threats; because just before and after the gradual pacification of Jiangdong, the Taiping Governor's Office transferred back the merchant Kong Liluo, who had always been active outside the Western Seas; he participated in the Sino-Turkey sea trade affairs.

In addition, the other party also allowed him to reopen the corresponding business and business as the chief clerk of Wenzhou because of his performance in the southern Zhejiang strategy. This made Solomon, who was already a little fluttering in Fujian, wake up.

Therefore, the line of Pinglu Town, located in Qingzi, was accidentally developed on his way to Japan. Now it has a shop and berth stationed in Banqiao Town and Penglai Port. In this Qingzhou city, there is also a shop specializing in selling southern specialty products such as silk porcelain tea paper pen and ink.

Between Solomeng's thoughts, Wang Jingwu, who looked thick and thin, looked like Kong Wu, walked in with a loud sing of the newspaper. The Big Malaysian Golden Knife stood in front of Solomeng who quickly stood up to salute, and shouted sternly:

"I just asked you, can you get five thousand crossbows and one million kilograms of cold iron from the southeast? Of course, it would be better if you can get more and better. Afterwards, a family will receive a reward."

Solomeng couldn't help but be shocked. Has his identity been exposed? Then he suddenly realized that this matter was probably related to the Caizhou army of Qin Zongquan who was currently in full swing on Huai.

Although the three Huai Shang towns (Xu Si, Qing Zi, Yan Hai) that were born in the old Ziqing system formed a triangular alliance of offense, defense and mutual assistance after the collapse of the imperial court, and they also surrendered to the new dynasty of Daqi far away in Chang'an; it did not hinder the continued war between these towns in order to compete for land, land, household registration and wealth.

Among them, Shi Fu, who was located in Xusi, was pressed by the Caizhou Army step by step. He suffered losses of troops and generals along the way, and almost all the land lost were lost. Only Xu and Su were left to the north of Caohe.

The second is Pinglu Town. Among the three towns of Heshuo, which is the source of war in the Central Plains, there was originally only one adjacent Weibo Jiedushi. However, since the Henghai Jiedushi in Cangzhou, Hebei was also attacked by Wang Jingrong, the governor of Chengde Jiedushi from Jizhou, he was trapped in a situation of attack on both sides.

Although Cao Xiang, who unexpectedly returned from the Tianping Army, rose up and joined hands with Zhuge Shuang, the Heyang Army and Zhu Laosan, the Marquis of Yu in the southeast of the Great Qi capital, worked together to defeat the expansion of Weibo Town, resulting in the killing of the Jiedushi Han Jian and the replacement of Le Jingyan's rise to power, fell into a temporary dormant renovation.

However, the rest of Chengde Jiedu governor Wang Jingrong, who came from the north bank of the Yellow River, was in a state of embracing the power of annexing several towns and was vicious in his eyes and skills. He was still under great pressure on the Pinglu army, which was facing the Jiaodong Peninsula three times.

Because the Zhenji Army under the rule of Changshan County Prince was not as greedy as Wei Bozhen, which attacked by bulls, and was very steady while taking the whole way. Unlike Zheng Hua, who was annexed by Wei Bo, the balance land was only eliminated and there was almost no room for repeated repetition.

Finally, among the three towns on Huai Shang, Wuning Town, located in Yanhai behind the two, was obviously the least pressure, but the military force was the weakest. Under the most basic interest, he could only do his best to support and rescue.

Solomon quickly understood the mess in his mind, and said with a humble smile that was not lost in charity and greed:

"I thank the commander of the Qixiang, and I am willing to share my worries, and I dare to ask if there is anything worth it in the army?"

"Pinglu horses, Laizhou gray lead, salt, rice and silk, and produced on Huai River can all be verted..."

A Confucius official standing behind Wang Jingwu quickly responded:

"Actually, as the villain saw, the army was in Baoshan but didn't know it!"

When Solomon heard this, he calmed down, but remembered the section he saw along the way.
Chapter completed!
