Chapter 1607

Early the next morning, Xie Chong, the Minister of the Ministry of rites of the Southern Ming Dynasty, got out of Kyoto. Outside the Nancheng gate, many central court officials came to see him off.

With the expectation of all the people, Xie Chong stopped in front of the city gate for about half an hour and left in a whole team. When the team left Kyoto, Xie Shangshu, sitting in the soft sedan chair, sighed and said to himself, "you don't want to fight with the five-star army. Do you think I want to? But what Nanming did before may have aroused the anger of King Wunan. At this time, it would be so easy to stop the war?"

With these words, he sighed again, and Xie Chong slowly closed his eyes. Regardless of the way ahead, even if the emperor ordered his name and he was in the position of minister of rites, he was bound to go this time. In fact, he was not sure whether he could complete the emperor's order.

It was just when Xie Chong and his new delegation headed for Guangxi. The five-star army led by the first cavalry army and the second Lengfeng Division has already attacked the city and pulled out the stronghold. That is, after conquering Sicheng, they respectively attacked Qingyuan mansion and Liuzhou Mansion by force, reaching Zhen'an mansion before Nanning mansion, the best place in Guangxi.

This will become the last barrier in front of Nanning government. Once we capture this place, Nanning government will be right in front of us. At that time, there will be a final result for who the whole land of Guangxi belongs to.

In Nanning mansion, Bai Kun, the new left envoy of Guangxi, is like an ant on a hot pot, walking back and forth in the main hall of the mansion from time to time.

From time to time, he would stop and look outside. He had to wait for the latest instructions of the Southern Ming court. Unfortunately, he looked at each other again and again in exchange for disappointment.

Up to now, the Nanming court has not given him a statement, which makes Bai Kun don't know what to do. Stick to Nanning government? To tell you the truth, he really doesn't have much confidence. News has long come from the front. The artillery of the five-star army is very powerful. The hard city is like paper paste in front of it. I'm afraid I can't defend it if I want to.

Can we go back? Nanning's position is so important that there is no holy order. If he dares to retreat, the result waiting for him will only be a bit more serious than the battlefield.

He could not advance or retreat, which made him suffer every day. Sometimes he even reflected on whether it was right or wrong to surrender to Nanming. If you had known this earlier, you might as well have surrendered to the five-star army. At least now you don't have to be so embarrassed.

"Report."

Bai Kun, who was sighing in the mansion, suddenly heard a voice behind him, which was reflective. He was looking back and saw the herald entering the mansion. He was happy and asked in a hurry, "but is there any will from the Southern Ming court?"

"No, general. It's the news from Zhen'an house that the general of Zhen'an house has surrendered, and now the five-star army has entered the city." the herald's voice was a little timid. But those who report like to report good news rather than bad news. Many times, it is not uncommon for soldiers to be beheaded on the spot.

"What?" hearing that the general of Zhen'an mansion surrendered, Bai Kun just felt a dizzy turn. He thought that with the strength of the five-star army, a Zhen'an government could not stop the other party, but at least he had to fight a war, consume some strength and delay some time. But where did you think that you surrendered without even fighting? In this way, doesn't it mean that there are no obstacles between them and the five-star army?

Without obstacles, that is to say, the next target of the five-star army will be himself. Now he doesn't even know whether to fight or withdraw, how can he not give people a headache.

Seeing that Bai Kun had no extra orders, the herald hurriedly withdrew and left the general standing alone in the main hall. No one knew what he was thinking.

Zhen'an mansion.

Tian Hu and Xiao Feng were in a good mood when they took the city without blood.

Although they have already experienced a hundred battles, they have absolute confidence in winning the land of Guangxi. But this time, the task given by Yang Chendong is to attack cities and seize land without destroying the original appearance of the city as much as possible, which means some test.

Daming is no better than other places, some small countries or regions. Although there are some cities, the city walls are not tall, and even some are just the existence of symbolic significance. To capture it, you only need a cannon blast, or even a cavalry charge, and you can easily capture it.

Because of this, the task is more difficult. But fortunately, the Nanming army in the land of Guangxi did not have a strong will to resist. It did not encounter great resistance all the way. Often, the city will change hands soon when the cannon rings. Now at Zhen'an mansion, Kaicheng surrendered directly, which gave Tian Hu and Xiao Feng more confidence to complete the task. They also made a discussion and took a day off in Zhen'an mansion. The day after tomorrow, they sent troops to Nanning mansion, where there may be a big battle to fight.

......

Nanjing Kyoto.

The crowd on the street is surging, and all kinds of shouts on both sides of the street are heard, which is very lively. It's no exaggeration to say it's a prosperous age.

They were not affected by the war in Guangxi at all, as if they were people separated by two worlds.

This is naturally affected by the news blocking, but at the same time, there are also reasons why the imperial court deliberately suppressed the relevant news. After all, once the people's minds are confused, it will only make the Nanming court more headache.

In a restaurant called wangkeju, the waiter is walking through quickly and will shout twice from time to time. For example, what did the guest at a table order and how much silver did the guest's mansion reward.

Being able to open a restaurant that can hold hundreds of tables in the downtown of Kyoto itself proves the boss's extraordinary. In fact, the boss is really strong. His surname is Yang, his name is Yang and his character is Wu De.

Yang Yang, the fourth brother of Yang Chendong, king of Wunan, is now the business representative of Yang Department in Nanming. No matter what kind of identity is said, it is shocking enough to make people have to look up.

Over the years, Yang Yang, who followed his sixth brother out of the capital of the northern Ming Dynasty, settled in the land of the Southern Ming Dynasty. At first, it was only developing in Fujian. Later, after entering Kyoto, it got out of control and stopped here.

Yang Yang, who holds the power to decide to trade with Yang and holds a large supply of goods, has always been the object of the merchants of Nanming Dynasty. Often, in order to purchase more shares, these businessmen have racked their brains to try to please Yang Yang. Over time, Yang Yang not only has a feeling of floating.

Today, Liu Yuan, one of the largest businessmen in the Southern Ming Dynasty, hosted a banquet for Yang Yang at Wang's guest house. The Liu family has been doing business for generations. After several generations, it is not said to be an enemy country, but it is not far away.

As the leader of merchants in the Southern Ming Dynasty, Liu Yuan always had his eyes above the top. It was extremely difficult for easy businessmen to meet him. But now, he stood at the door of the guest house as if he were waiting for someone.

Those who know Liu Yuan will inevitably be surprised. They wonder what kind of person they are, and what kind of person will make Liu family leader bend to others here? Can it be said that which senior official in the court is not successful?

Whether in the northern Ming dynasty or the Southern Ming Dynasty, there is one thing in common, that is, the status of businessmen is very low, especially in front of scholars and officials. It is a reflection of the development of social status. No wonder some people think so.

However, when the business reaches a certain scale, its influence will inevitably contact some figures in the officialdom, especially those like Liu Yuan. Even if the senior officials he welcomes are at least at the level of ministers, only officials above the third grade can make such a performance.

When many diners were thinking about who the visitor was, Yang Yang appeared, just with two family like figures and a folding fan in hand at the door of the guest house.

"Fourth master Yang, you're here at last." when Yang Yang appeared, Liu Yuan, who was originally arrogant, hurried forward, just like a dog shaking its tail when it saw its owner.

When the diners saw that Yang Yang was coming, they knew it in their hearts.

Yes, Yang Yang is qualified. It's normal for Liu Yuan to lower his attitude because he is the fourth brother of Wu Nan Wang and holds the purchasing power of Yang series items. Considering that wangkeju is Yang Yang's private property, but most people who ask Yang Yang will choose to treat here for dinner, then everything is normal.

Facing Liu Yuan's bow, Yang Yang just nodded modestly.

He has long been used to such things. To put it bluntly, Yang Yang's existence is the God of wealth of those businessmen. Often, if his goods are tilted to someone, that person can earn more. I don't know how much. In contrast, being respectful is nothing.

"Brother Liu, let's go." Yang Yang said with a smile. Although the other party is more than ten years older than himself, he is still the host. However, Yang Yang took the lead in walking up to the fourth floor of wangkeju, which is also his special place to eat. There is only one elegant room on the whole fourth floor. From there, you can see far away, and you can see less than half of Nanjing.

"Please, please." Liu Yuan didn't show any dissatisfaction because Yang Yang took the first step. On the contrary, he half bent down like a dog leg and stretched out his hands to make a gesture of invitation.

Yang Yang in front, Liu Yuan in the back, straight into the fourth floor. Along the way, many diners also got up and said hello. Yang Yang also greeted the guests who were willing to patronize his restaurant with a smile.

Liu Yuan took two servants, Yang Yang took two servants and a line of six. Now they have to go through the lobby to the corner on the first floor. Seeing that people had been able to climb the stairs, when they ran up the second floor, several people happened to come down.

They are not tall, and even a little short. All five people in a row keep their heads down.
