Chapter 524 Wei Renpu's Peak Moment
Wei Renpu carried a sword in his hand, his beard fluttered, and his majestic standing on the bow of the ship.
Not to mention whether you can kill the generals and the enemy, this kind of demeanor makes people admire you from the bottom of your heart.
Did you hear that, what did Mr. Wei call us?
brother!
A group of stinky pirates are worthy of fighting side by side with the Prime Minister. Are they called brothers and brothers? But Mr. Wei shouted out, and it was so natural and so warm.
If Wu Yue had such a wise prime minister, they would not have been holding their heads to be pirates and lived and worked in peace at home. How great would it be!
It has to be said that Wei Renpu is indeed a bit of a trick to win people's hearts. Of course, his tricks are not very good, but the pirates' level is too low. In addition, Ye Hua had already conquered most of the people before, Wei Renpu only took the last stretch of the way, with four words, he went with the flow.
Old Wei knew it clearly, but these pirates couldn't figure it out for a moment!
They were all moved and screamed, swearing to protect Xianggong Wei with their lives.
This time Ren Tianxing brought thirty warships, which in comparison was only one-quarter of the opponent's, and the difference in strength was huge. He knew very well that although his morale was strong, the one he could really rely on was the bed crossbow.
"Pull me at Nan Tang's ship and beat me hard! Don't be polite!"
Ren Tianxing is really capable. He doesn't have many days to get the bed crossbow, but he takes his subordinates to train every day and lets the sailors manipulate it over and over again, and has already practiced to a very familiar level.
Just now, Wei Renpu gave him a telescope, which Ren Tianxing also used.
He personally observed the enemy situation, commanded the ships, and seized a favorable position.
Ren Tianxing was very sensitive to discover that the combat power of the ship came from the bed crossbow, and only when the bed crossbow was horizontal can he concentrate more firepower to attack the opponent.
He used this tactic of facing the enemy with the side to become a "Ding"-shaped battle formation.
The pirates quickly prepared, seized the horizontal head of the character Tin, and aimed the crossbow at the Yangtze River Navy in Southern Tang. The battle was about to begin... At this moment, Ren Tianxing discovered through the telescope that the Navy in Southern Tang... had retreated!
What's going on?
They came in a fierce manner, and they ran away without even fighting. What's going on?
Ren Tianxing was stunned, but his subordinates couldn't help laughing, and they were particularly happy.
"See, the rats in the Southern Tang Dynasty are afraid of the Great Zhou!"
"They were afraid of Prime Minister Wei, so they ran away with their tails!"
"The Prime Minister is mighty!"
"The power of the Great Zhou Dynasty!"
...
These pirates couldn't help but attribute the victory to Wei Renpu, making a shocking roar, and dancing excitedly.
Old Wei was also confused.
When he met the Nantang Navy, he was also scared.
What Lao Wei is most afraid of is that these pirates are not moral and give him to Nan Tang directly. If that happens, he will not even have a place to shout for justice.
Therefore, Xianggong Wei pretended to be righteous and lived and died with everyone. In fact, in his heart, what he feared most was to be abandoned.
He was obviously afraid of dying, but he wanted to act as if nothing had happened. Wei Renpu's acting skills could kill ten actors in seconds. Next, Lao Wei's acting skills were even more explosive.
Nan Tang suddenly withdrew his troops, and he didn't know what was going on, but he could hold it back.
When Ren Tianxing reported to him, Wei Renpu just nodded lightly, lifted the sword, wiped it with his sleeve, and then put it back on the scabbard. His eyes were a little disappointed, as if he hadn't cut and killed a few of them himself, which was quite regretful.
After he handed the sword back to his followers, he said calmly: "The Southern Tang Dynasty is not worth worrying about when sheep is made of tiger skin, phoenix feathers and chicken gallbladder. Let the brothers be more careful and comfort the people of Suzhou. This is the main business."
Wei Renpu finished speaking lightly, then turned his head into the cabin.
That cloud is light and that kind of demeanor is cool!
What is the prime minister of the country? What is the big scene that is used to seeing!
It’s really a dream that a few bad ships from the Southern Tang Dynasty also want to scare the Prime Minister of the Great Zhou!
Ren Tianxing was completely convinced and gave Wei Renpu a thumbs up in his heart. If Old Wei asked him to surrender to the Great Zhou at this moment, Ren Tianxing would have nothing to say.
He asked several ships to investigate the situation from afar, and then personally directed the fleet toward Liujiagang in the direction of Taicang.
Old Wei and Ren Tianxing didn't know what was going on, and they thought the Navy of the Southern Tang was scared away.
In fact, it wouldn't be so easy to retreat, and Li Hongji wouldn't have to mess around anymore.
It turned out that after Wei Renpu moved south, Ye Hua immediately ordered Shi Shouxin to lead three thousand cavalry south. Of course, these troops could not attack the city, but Ye Hua was so bad that he placed the attack target on the salt field.
You should know that since the Great Zhou took over Yancheng, the Southern Tang Dynasty only had a section of coastline centered on Rugao, and this place became a salt jar of the Southern Tang Dynasty, which was extremely precious.
Without salt, not only will the price soar, but it will also damage the combat effectiveness of the three armies, and no one can be careless.
On the one hand, Ye Hua sent troops to threaten Rugao Salt Field, and on the other hand, he sent Li Yu as an envoy to Jinling, denounced the Southern Tang and bullied Wu and Yue, and asked the Southern Tang to immediately use the issuance as the top ten money to loot the proceeds and return it to the people of Wu and Yue, otherwise the Great Zhou would have to launch an army to punish him.
Note, Ye Hua said that he wanted to raise an army to seek punishment, but he did not say that he would start a war immediately, which left behind a foreshadowing and also left room for imagination.
Of course, Li Hongji was not so naive. He would not believe that war could be avoided, but he had to make the worst plan.
So Li Hongji ordered the stockpiling of salt to prevent it from being cut off by the Great Zhou Dynasty. In addition, he mobilized the navy and headed north along the canal, preparing to raid Chuzhou at any time. In addition, he mobilized another 30,000 troops to reinforce Shouzhou.
With all efforts to prevent the Great Zhou Dynasty, Li Hongji also mobilized his troops to prepare for military service in Suzhou.
He actively mobilized to prepare for war, so he naturally did not want to have a hasty conflict. Although he transferred the navy back to Yangzhou, he took the opportunity to act.
Ye Hua tried his best to restrain Nan Tang, but unfortunately he became an unknown hero and the hero behind the scenes.
All the lottery in front was obtained by Wei Renpu alone!
Not only did the pirates convinced, but when they heard that Mr. Wei broke through the obstacles of Wu Yue and Southern Tang and arrived at Liujiagang, the whole of Suzhou was in full bloom.
The people from the Chamber of Commerce, Shilin students, peddlers, and even ordinary women at home all came out. They left Suzhou City and ran to Liujiagang, waiting for Wei Renpu's arrival.
Ren Tianxing stood at the bow of the boat and looked at it with the telescope that Wei Renpu gave him. There were people everywhere, densely packed, endlessly filled the entire field of vision!
What a fucking majesty!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but secretly look at Lao Wei, thinking that this person must be very proud, right?
In fact, everything was fine in Wei Renpu. Although this scene was very big, compared to Ye Hua's previous restoration of Youzhou and returning from Zaiyu, the scenery along the way was still incomparable.
After all, one was a big victory, and the other was just a welcome ceremony.
Old Wei thought secretly that he always let Ye Hua show off in the past. It’s not that I’m incompetent, but that I’m just disdainful of doing that kind of thing.
Ye Hua, you kid should regret it. If you dragged me into the water, you will be fine.
Wei Renpu thought about it and made up his mind.
When the big ship entered the port, he got off the springboard and stepped onto the land of Jiangnan. Old Wei had a warm smile on his face. He waved at the welcome crowd, which immediately attracted a burst of cheers.
Waiting for the crowd to calm down, Old Wei said loudly: "The elders and villagers of Suzhou, you follow the heavens and respond to the people and surrender the land. The emperor already knows. Therefore, the emperor specially sent me to Jiangnan to see the big guys. All the people of the Great Zhou, no matter where they are, my Great Zhou court and the soldiers of the three armies are your backers!"
Old Wei waved his arm and said with force: "I am just a new arrival, and there are still many situations that are unclear. But I know that you have suffered a lot of money and suffered heavy losses. The Southern Tang Dynasty knocked bones and sucked marrow and exploited the people. It is really anger and resentment from the heavens and people, which is outrageous! On behalf of the Great Zhou, I promise you that you must maintain the stability of the currency value. The Great Zhou will provide all assistance. I will discuss with the wise masters of Suzhou and come up with specific strategies. In short, the Great Zhou will not allow chaos in Suzhou, and will not sit idly by! Whoever dares to disrupt the order of Suzhou will be the enemy of the Great Zhou!"
Wei Renpu, an old man, is already extremely talented, and after observing Ye Hua for many years, he has figured out people's hearts thoroughly. Although war is terrible, it may not affect everyone, but the currency is different. One is the top ten money, which will cost many people all their money, and the wealth accumulated over several lifetimes will be gone.
For the small people, who cares about how to deal with it, everyone is looking at their own interests. The reason for rebellion is because the Nan Tang robbed and Wu Yue was unable to compete, so they made anger.
When Lao Wei first set foot on Suzhou's land, the first thing he did was to announce the stable currency value. This promise was to guarantee everyone's wealth!
The weight is so heavy that it is simply awesome and hits the point!
If everyone was just curious just now, come and see the prime minister of the Zhou Dynasty.
After hearing Wei Renpu's words, the eyes of the gentry, merchants and people in Suzhou were red.
Mr. Wei, your old lady understands the voice of our common people, and she said it very well.
Many people couldn't help but bow to the ground and cried bitterly. Some even bit their fingers and swear to the sky that they would be loyal to the Great Zhou and stop until death.
