Chapter 277 Bad News
When I saw Zhang Yingying again, she seemed more beautiful. She looked much plump because of her pregnancy, but it added a different kind of charm. Li Yan stared at Zhang Yingying's slightly raised belly in a daze. Calculate the time, the golden wind and jade dew in the twelfth lunar month last year, and she was still a virgin at that time. After more than four months, her belly was already bulging and pregnant. After thinking about it, Li Yan felt that this child was very likely to be herself.
I planted two pieces of land at home carefully, worked hard, but I still didn't make any noise. Why did I get a big stomach when I was accidental with Zhang Yingying?
"Is this child mine?" Li Yan asked with a smile on his face.
Zhang Yingying looked at Li Yan quietly, her face full of tenderness. She was the queen of the sea on weekdays, and thousands of people under her were following her. She worked hard, afraid of any mistakes. When she faced Li Yan, she suddenly felt that she was truly like a woman, but she let go of everything she carried on her body.
She suddenly laughed, but shed tears while laughing, and threw herself into Li Yan's arms.
The guards next to them were stunned. They never expected that the fierce queen of the sea would have such a young side as she had just led them to conquer Qinghai Town.
I have a son, and I want to be a father.
Li Guan was also full of excitement at this time. This sudden surprise made him feel excited. He and Gui Niang Wan'er had not been moved for so long, and he even thought that he might have lost the function of having a son for some reason. Unexpectedly, he suddenly learned that he already had a son, and in a few months, he would be a father.
At night.
The bright moon rises on the sea, and the ends of the world share this time.
After a long separation, a couple snuggled together.
Zhang Yingying completely relaxed herself and buried her head on Li Yan's broad chest. Li Yan's arms spread out and surrounded Zhang Yingying's shoulders, and took off her cloak and draped it on her body.
"Why did you leave? Don't contact me again?" Li Yan looked at her gently and said, "I wanted to find you several times, but I didn't know how to contact you. I thought it was just a meeting of apples and water, and then I would forget each other in the world."
Zhang Yingying arched in Li Yan's arms, found a more comfortable position, and whispered: "You are the best man I have ever met, and it is not an exaggeration to say that you fall in love with me at first sight. When I was in the most dangerous time, you suddenly appeared, like a divine weapon descending from the sky. That night gave me unforgettable memories. It's not that I don't want to see you, but I don't dare to see you."
"Why?"
"Because I was carrying a deep revenge on the sea of blood, my father was determined to do something for Silla, but in the end he was involved in the royal struggle. In the end, he ended up being accused of being a traitor. When my father died, the King of Silla refused to let us go. My two brothers, many subordinates and their families died tragically. If this revenge is not avenged, how can I just think about my children's love?"
Li Guan hugged her a little tightly, "Now I can help you get revenge. Now, I have this strength."
Zhang Yingying looked up and looked at Li Yan and said seriously: "Are you really willing to help me?"
"Of course, you are my son's mother now, so I won't help you with anyone." Li Yan chuckled.
The night is as bright as water, and a couple begins to tell their respective experiences after they part.
"What, did you lead your troops to capture Qinghai Town?" After Li Guan heard the separation, Zhang Yingying took advantage of the Red Pants Peasant Army Uprising that broke out in Silla to recruit soldiers and horses. He was quite surprised when he raided Qinghai Town last month. Calculated that the time he took the Da Xie Fort was exactly the time when Zhang Yingying took the Qinghai Town. It was such a coincidence.
"I have raised the banner now. Qinghai Town now has tens of thousands of soldiers and dozens of warships. In addition, people continue to cross the sea to invest. We have now more than 100,000 people. And we have defeated the Silla official army three consecutive attacks, but we have suffered a lot of damage in several consecutive battles. This time I came to Liaohai. In fact, I am here to find you."
Zhang Yingying said slowly: "When I was in Silla, I always heard that Dengzhou had recently released a young general named Li Guan, which was very impressive. At first, I thought it was a person with the same name and surname as you, but later I heard that you were defeated Feng Zhang and defeated Duli Town. I sent me to inquire and found out that this brave general was you. I came here this time to ask you for help."
"Your business is mine. Just tell me what you need. Why bother me?"
"Although we defeated the invading official army three times, not only did the weapons be greatly damaged, so I want to buy some weapons from you." Although Zhang Yingying was circling the sea, she used to have thousands of armed guards and accumulated a lot of weapons. But before that she was just going to sea, but now she started a war with the Silla Dynasty, which consumed a lot. With the newly recruited troops, the original weapons were insufficient.
She originally wanted to deal with Feng Zhang, but she heard that Feng Zhang and his subordinates were defeated and died in the war. After inquiring, she realized that Li Guan was the one who killed Feng Zhang. Therefore, she took the risk to come to Liaohai in person.
Li Guan pondered for a moment and said, "Give you weapons is not a big problem, but you only have ten thousand people, and most of them are newly recruited soldiers. Now that the war with the entire Silla is going to be held, can you defend it? I think you might as well lead your troops to my Shamen Town. I will control the entire Da Xie Fort and accommodate you. Moreover, you are pregnant now, so don't take risks outside again."
Zhang Yingying refused, "No, this is not my own business, but the tens of thousands of brothers in Qinghai Town and more than 100,000 people who have defected to us. I cannot leave them behind, I hope you can understand."
"I understand, but what about our children?"
"This child is yours, but it is mine. You have long been married and concubine, so I will stay by my side to raise this child. When I grow up, he will become the new King of the Sea and he will inherit Qinghai Town. So, you will help me now and your own son."
Li Guan persuaded him for a while, and finally realized that there was no hope. Zhang Yingying was not an ordinary woman. In fact, a resistance organization that could gradually dissipate and finally grew up again. She counterattacked and seized Qinghai Town, which her father once runs, recruited soldiers and gathered tens of thousands of soldiers. How could such a woman be an ordinary woman? It was unrealistic to ask her to follow her back to Shamen Town, with green bricks and green tiles, and a deep courtyard to be his concubine, raising children with peace of mind.
Finally, Li Guan agreed to Zhang Yingying's request. If she wanted to keep the child, she would stay. Anyway, she would be her own son. He did not refuse the matter of weapons. Shamen Town originally had a deal in the arms trade. Who would sell it, and it would be sold to his son's mother, and there was nothing to say.
After some discussion, the two agreed that Li Guan would sell 5,000 spears, 5,000 horizontal knives, 3,000 bows, 1,000 crossbows, and 3,000 shields to Qinghai Town. In addition, there were 300 heavy crossbows, 100 guns, 100 feather arrows, and 100,000 crossbow nails to Qinghai Town. Even the specialty divine fire of Shamen Town also purchased 500 altars.
Of course, these things cannot be given for free, even for your son's mother. Relationships are relationships, and transactions are transactions.
However, Qinghai Town has money. The caravan led by Zhang Yingying over the years is the largest caravan in the entire Three Seas. Their transactions cover more than a dozen countries, and the money is large. Zhang Yingying directly paid a price of one million guan for this batch of weapons. However, they would not trade money directly with such a large amount of money. Instead, gold, silver, copper coins, and cloth. The most are raw materials, various iron and copper materials, and even sulfur saltpeter paint.
Both sides were very satisfied with the result of this transaction. Zhang Yingying received the urgently needed weapons, while Li Guan got a lot of money and raw materials, which was considered a profit.
"I know you have a lot of warships, and I wonder if you can sell some of us?"
Zhang Yingying has many ships, but most of them are merchant ships and few warships. Now, he rebels and occupies archipelagos such as Qinghai Town, so warships are indispensable.
"No big problem. Go back and go to Shamen Town and choose it yourself." Li Guan replied directly. He said this with enough confidence. Almost two-thirds of the warships in Daxie Village have become his. And half of the warships in Duli Town have become his spoils. In addition, those who seized the one-eyed dragon, as well as many warships of all sizes obtained by the bandit suppression some time ago, as well as the Zhendonghai recruitment. Li Guan now has many warships, and there are no more warships to use at the Zhenhai Camp and Nutao Navy Battalion. Especially the warships obtained by the bandit suppression, many of them are not very good.
Since Zhang Yingying wanted it, Li Guan took the opportunity to deal with these warships, which can be considered as clearing the warehouse.
Zhang Yingying was naturally very happy to get both the ordnance and warships easily.
"Thank you."
"Why are you so polite to me? They are all your own people. Since you insist on staying in Qinghai Town, I can't force you. But we are still a family. In the future, our two families can strengthen cooperation. If you need weapons, warships, etc., come to me. As long as you take money, silk or grain, or various ore raw materials, slave prisoners of war, etc., you can exchange them for what you need."
Qinghai Town is between Silla and Japan, and Zhang Yingying not only owns this land, but also has the largest caravan on the three seas. Working with her is definitely a business that only makes money and never loses.
Li Guan took Zhang Yingying's boat to Daxiezhai City, but Li Guan didn't dare to go back to Shamen Town directly. Since Zhang Yingying was unwilling to stay, he was too lazy to take her back to Shamen Town, so that she would have caused all kinds of trouble after being seen by her family. Now that there are still a few women in the family who have not solved it, he will save him from causing trouble.
As soon as he arrived at the South Island, Li Guan immediately began to prepare the various ordnance warships ordered by Qinghai Town. On the other hand, he also began to mobilize various battalions to Wuhu Town. On the other hand, Li Guan sent several envoys to Longshan Camp, Dongmu Shouzhao, Chishan Town and Zhizhou Barracks of Dengzhou to give generous gifts to the generals, lobbying them to send troops together to intimidate Duli Town, and promised that after the matter was completed, there would be greater gifts.
Under such temptation, all the battalions were a little moved. They had heard that Li Guan had just blackmailed a lot from the Duli Town and received a huge compensation of 3 million yuan. Who wouldn't be moved, even if they only earn 300,000 or 100,000 yuan, would be a big deal. After a few days, all the troops finally decided to send troops to join Li Guan's coalition.
The Cui Town in Chishan Town directly sent a thousand troops to Daxie Village, and the rest of the Longshan Camp sent five hundred, Dongmu Shouzhai also sent five hundred, and the Dengzhou Prison City was the least sent, and Han Zhong sent the soldiers, and also sent three hundred. In addition, several Dengzhou camps, ranging from two to three hundred, each sent troops.
According to the last statistics, a total of eight companies responded, and sent 5,000 troops to gather on the southern island of Daxiezhai. Just as Li Guan was ready to rush the 5,000 troops and 10,000 troops in Shamen Town to the front line of Wuhu Island and put pressure on Duli Town, he suddenly received extremely bad news.
Li Lingfu suddenly sent troops alone to attack Duli Town one day ago, but he was defeated and died. The troops stopped for ten times and eight times. Before they could return to Qingnipu, the Beisha City soldiers who had already retreated suddenly appeared and surrounded Qingnipu in one fell swoop. Now the situation in Qingnipu is extremely dangerous, and there is a possibility that the troops will not be broken at any time.
