Ming Zuo

Chapter 1560 Excuses
Zheng Jiada and Liang Yue broke up unhappy when they met for the first time.

Zheng Jiada was not surprised that the negotiations did not yield results.

After all, it is a major event that determines the life and death of hundreds of thousands of people, and even a province or even the entire Northwest, and it must be delayed for a long time.

Fortunately, he was in no hurry.

The general trend is on the side of the empire, and the final victory will also belong to the empire.

Although Liang Yue yelled to fight and kill, and became furious when he heard Zuo Menggeng's name, he did not cut off Zheng Jiada's head in the end, which made the situation irreversible.

This is enough to show that Liang Yue is no longer the illiterate farmer, but a hero who knows how to think about pros and cons.

Talk to someone like this.

But judging by Liang Yue's appearance, although nearly 20 years have passed, he is still full of hatred.

The negotiation process is bound to not go smoothly.

Zheng Jiada lived patiently in the city of Xi'an.

He was waiting for Liang Yue to regain his composure and start the second round of negotiations.

In the enemy camp, surrounded by wolves, he was as indifferent as if he was on an outing.

Walking on the streets of Xi'an, he observed the scenery while admiring it.

And what he saw put him in a good mood.

Xi'an, the ancient capital city, has long since lost its royal air.

The dust that has been falling continuously for thousands of years has already buried all the past glory.

Witheredness is the only atmosphere in this city at present.

Among the pedestrians walking on the road, there was not a fat man in sight, and no one walked steadily.

His complexion was blue and yellow, his steps were flimsy, and even though he was wrapped tightly in his clothes, he was shivering from the cold.

Only at long intervals on both sides of the road can one see broken banners soliciting business.Obviously without customers, even this kind of thing has lost its vitality.

Zheng Jiada walked several streets, and all he could smell in his nose was the stench of dust.

As for the fireworks in the world, it seems that they have long since disappeared in this city.

As a result, his legs swelled and hurt, and he managed to find a noodle shop that was open.

"Only hot skin, seasoning is not complete, if the guest officer wants to eat it, the villain will make it right away. If you don't want to eat it, please let me know."

There are no waiters in the small noodle restaurant, only a shopkeeper and cook, who is neither polite nor polite.

Zheng Jiada smiled wryly.

"If I don't eat with you, I will starve to death on the road."

The shopkeeper nodded and turned to go to the back.

When he came back, he was holding a Erhai Bowl.However, there is only a shallow layer of dough in the sea bowl.

In Zheng Jiada's view, it's not that there are few seasonings, but that there seems to be no seasoning.

"In normal seasons, the villain's noodle restaurant is a signature in the entire East City, but nowadays, it can only be so-so."

Zheng Jiada was a little dissatisfied.

"This is not enough."

The shopkeeper is not in awe.

"This is the only amount available today. No matter how many there are, there will be no more small shops."

Zheng Jiada had no choice but to eat noodles.

The noodles without seasoning are just boiled in boiling water, tasteless, especially hard and hard to swallow.

The shopkeeper seemed extremely bored, so he couldn't help talking too much.

"There is no more food in the city. Many people starve to death every day. Those who have connections have already left. Those Qiu Bajun's discipline is getting worse and worse. Maybe the guest officer will not see me tomorrow."

Zheng Jiada just listened and couldn't answer, he actually ate the noodles at the bottom of a bowl for half an hour.

He decided that such a noodle shop would never come again.

In order to avoid trouble, he threw ten copper coins on the table.

The more you give, the less trouble you have.

Sure enough, seeing him get up and leave, the shopkeeper did not cause trouble, but quickly put away the copper coins, and then began to close the stall.

Today's Annan is divided into four forces, the Zheng family and the Ruan family are neck and neck, and the Mo Dynasty is lingering.

Although the southernmost city of Champa is also declining day by day, thanks to its good geographical location, it is very prosperous commercially.

Merchant ships from all over the Central Plains and Southeast Asia gathered here in an endless stream, and then carried out transactions, and left happily with the goods they needed.

This led to the city being extremely prosperous, with a continuous stream of people of all colors and various languages ​​intermingling with each other.

A few Han businessmen ran rampant on the street, with their chests and stomachs puffed out, looking superior to others.

They are entitled to this.

Because behind them is the empire.

Now in Nanyang, other ethnic groups should be more careful when they see Han people.

Because the Central Plains Dynasty changed its master.

The new owner's temper seems to be a little grumpy, and he is unreasonable to defend his shortcomings.If the Han people are bullied in Nanyang, the warships of the new dynasty will rush in soon.

They didn't ask the reason at all, and they didn't search for the troublemakers, they just bombarded the local area.

Every time after doing this, the local officials will definitely find out the troublemakers and behead them in front of the Han army.

For a period of time, all parts of Nanyang were afraid of the Han people and hated them at the same time.

However, with the passage of time, people gradually discovered that as long as they did not bully the Han people and ensured fair trade, the Han army was reasonable.

Order is gradually established under such circumstances.

Of course, what has been re-established is the proud bones of the Han people.

After all, anyone can be arrogant if there are thousands of cannons behind him to help him at any time.

The same is true for the people here in Champa. They have to be careful and happy when they see the Han people.

Because the Han people are very rich, they will buy a lot of goods every time they come, and the prices are very fair, and they do not take advantage of it by chance.

In the eyes of the local people, every Han Chinese is shining.

But today there was an accident, someone actually clashed with the Han people.

Those few Han merchants were surrounded by a group of Annan people.

When the Annan people saw them, their eyes were full of irresolvable hatred, and the shouting and cursing in their mouths never stopped.

Although the number of Han people was small, how could they be afraid of this, and immediately fought back.

The scolding quickly turned into a fight, and the fight quickly turned into a conflict.

If the conflict escalates, there will be blood.

When they saw a Han businessman whose stomach was pierced into a hole, and blood was spraying from his mouth, and he was unwilling to fall down, everyone had a premonition...

Disaster is coming!

Temasek.

The third detachment of the South China Sea Fleet is stationed.

The commander of the detachment, Xu Xizhong, dressed neatly early on, stood upright at the command post, and stared at the sea.

He is waiting.

Waiting for the results already known.

He smiled when he saw a clipper ship come into port with its ass on fire.

"The whole army set out, the goal is to occupy the city."

Temasek, which had been calm for a long time, quickly became noisy.

The merchant ships coming and going in the strait were all like sheep meeting a tiger, and they all fled to the side in panic.

They widened their eyes, watching a huge fleet consisting of fifteen Tier 110 battleships, [-] Tier [-] strategic ships, and [-] transport ships heading north along the coast aggressively.

This is a force that can destroy a country.
