Spoilers for The Red Mansion, Daiyu’s mentality is broken

Next, Jia Huan retained Mo Da and asked him to temporarily serve as the supervisor of the shipyard, responsible for integrating the shipyard's business and getting the shipyard up and running first.

Jia Huan decided to rest at Qingzhou Guard for two days before taking a boat south and heading straight to Haizhou.

The next day, the personnel from Haitian Island rushed to Qingzhou Guard.

A part of the manpower is responsible for assisting the University of Mexico in handling shipyard affairs.

As for Drunk King Ni Er, he led two people and directly obeyed Jia Huan's orders.

Now Ni Er is in charge of the intelligence system. The Haidongqing and several falcons that Jia Huan received as a gift in the Southwest Campaign were handed over to Ni Er.

With these aerial investigators, the intelligence system's detection capabilities and information transmission speed are greatly enhanced.

And Ni Er's coming this time is also responsible for coordinating intelligence liaison with Haitian Island.

In this mission to annihilate the red-haired pirates, Jia Huan plans to involve Haitian Island.

First, it can play a role in training troops, and actual combat can allow these new recruits to grow up quickly.

Secondly, if Haitian Island wants to get a share of this process, it must participate.

And it has to be done in secret.

If his whereabouts are revealed, it will be difficult to explain to the court at that time.

Therefore, Ni Er's task as a messenger is crucial.

After contacting Jia Huan, Ni Er and the two cronies he brought with him all changed into the clothes of personal guards.

The personal guards led by Jia Huan were already close confidants, so they were not afraid of them leaking the news.

After resting at Qingzhou Guard for two days, Jia Huan took his personal guards and headed straight for Haizhou by boat.

There was no words all the way. Ten days later, Jia Huan took a boat and arrived at Haizhou.

On Haizhou's side, military camps have been prepared for the Red Flame Army.

All material supplies are also provided by Haizhou.

After arriving at the military camp, Jia Huan summoned his deputy Zhou Tong and asked Zhou Tong about the situation after they arrived at Haizhou.

Zhou Tong was quite unconvinced with Jia Huan before the battle in the southwest.

He was transferred to the Red Flame Army by Emperor Chongkang, and he was eyeing Jia Huan's position as the head coach.

But in the southwest battle, Zhou Tong was defeated by Jia Huan.

This battle made Zhou Tong realize that he might be stronger than Jia Huan in terms of personal bravery.

But when it comes to commanding operations, there is still a certain gap between himself and Jia Huan.

In terms of knowledge, Jia Huan went even further than he knew how many miles ahead.

The knowledge here does not refer to literati knowledge such as the Four Books and Five Classics, poems and articles.

But various knowledge related to war.

For example, Jia Huan used a special whistle to successfully defeat the wolf army of the Southern Barbarians.

Without this special whistle, they would not be helpless when facing the wolf army, but there wouldn't be much they could do.

War horses are afraid of wild wolves. This is natural and cannot be reversed without human intervention.

And precisely because of this special whistle, not only can the wolf army of the Southern Barbarians be easily defeated, but this can even be used to cause the Southern Barbarians to make wrong judgments.

Therefore, after the Southwest Campaign, Zhou Tong was already half convinced of Jia Huan.

It's just that his evil intentions are still alive.

But usually, he respected Jia Huan very much and did not do anything out of line.

He would not find fault with Jia Huan in such details.

Zhou Tongtong reported to Jia Huan what happened after they arrived at Haizhou.

In terms of garrison and logistical supplies, it can be summed up in four words, that is, everything went smoothly.

The Red Flame Army is the emperor's close army. Haizhou's supply to the Red Flame Army will eventually be supplied by Hubu.

In fact, Haizhou didn't have to spend a penny on his own. In this case, there was no need for Haizhou to do anything like a sinner.

As for the movements of the red-haired thief, they have not yet received definite information.

The decline of the navy left Daxia without effective means to control pirate movements.

They can only dispatch coastal guards from various places, as well as some Daxia intelligence systems, and use other means to judge and control the movements of the red-haired thieves.

Fortunately, the health stations along the coast are very serious about this and there is no excuse.

Mainly because they are also afraid that the red-haired thieves will choose them as their next target.

According to the intelligence currently controlled by the court, it is more likely that the red-haired thief's next target will be Haizhou.

Even if it is not Haizhou, it should be a place not far from Haizhou.

Haizhou is a place that can be centrally connected.

After Zhou Tong retreated, Jia Huan called Miaoyu in.

He brought this little nun all the way to Haizhou, and now it was time for her to show off.

If she could contact her eldest brother in time and successfully find the red-haired thief's overseas base.

They can just knock on the door and don't have to work so hard to wait in one place.

Soon, Miaoyu rushed over.

After Miaoyu saluted and said hello, Jia Huan couldn't help but ask: "Master Miaoyu, can you contact your elder brother now?"

Hearing this, Miaoyu said with embarrassment: "Master Hou, I am in Haizhou, and I live in a distant place. If I want to contact my elder brother, I am afraid I will need the help of Master Hou."

Jia Huan could understand this.

It would be weird if she could contact her eldest brother at any time.

This can only show that they have contacts in the capital.

In other words, his eldest brother has been paying close attention to her, otherwise he would not have been able to contact her so quickly.

But now she wants to contact her eldest brother and use her own strength.

It is enough to show that they have no contact on weekdays.

Thinking of this, Jia Huan couldn't help but said: "Master Miaoyu, I wonder how I can help you?"

Miaoyu couldn't help but said: "Please also ask the Marquis to draw some six-petal plum blossoms on some corners of Haizhou City."

"If I meet my brother, I will leave his contact information at the Chenghuang Temple outside the city. Then I can contact my brother."

Hearing this, Jia Huan's face turned dark.

Is this the way you used to contact your elder brother?

Now you don't even know where your eldest brother is, or whether your eldest brother is in Haizhou.

In this way, wouldn’t it be like finding a needle in a haystack? Completely based on luck?

If Miaoyu had said she was using this method to contact her eldest brother, Jia Huan would definitely not have brought her here.

Jia Huan was so angry that he was speechless. He looked at Miaoyu helplessly and said nothing.

Miaoyu Xiafei's cheeks stammered: "Master Marquis, I didn't mean to deceive you. It's true, it's true..."

"By the way, my eldest brother once said that as long as such a code is drawn in a big coastal city, he will definitely send someone to contact me."

Huh?

If you say that, I won't be sleepy.

If Miaoyu and her eldest brother and sister were not lying, then Miaoyu's eldest brother must have inherited part of the strength of their Qin family.

And these forces are quite powerful, otherwise, there would never be such confidence. If this is the case, as long as he can contact Miaoyu's eldest brother, it might be of some use to him.

Thinking of this, Jia Huan couldn't help but said: "In that case, I will trust you again."

"I will send people to draw the secret code, and then I will send people to guard the Chenghuang Temple outside the city."

Hearing this, Miaoyu couldn't help but be overjoyed and hurriedly thanked Jia Huan.

After Miaoyu left, Jia Huan called Mo Da, and a moment later, Mo Er walked in.

Jia Huan then remembered that Mo Da was left in Qingzhou Guard by him and was not with him.

Jia Huan gave Mo Er some instructions, and Mo Er immediately followed the order and left.

In fact, Jia Huan didn't have high expectations for being able to contact brother Miaoyu.

After all, several years have passed since Miaoyu entered Beijing.

If brother Miaoyu is really so powerful, why has he not contacted Miaoyu all these years?

Sending Mo Er this time was just a matter of luck.

What Jia Huan didn't expect was that three days later, he actually got in touch.

And Miaoyu's brother actually came to visit him personally.

Jia Huan invited the people in, and then discovered that Miaoyu's brother was about thirty years old, with a fair face and a slight beard, and a very talented person.

After seeing Jia Huan, brother Miaoyu clasped his fists and said, "Qin Huaiyu, a common man, has met the Marquis!"

"Thank you very much, Lord Marquis, for taking care of my sister-in-law in the past few years. This time, Lord Lao escorted my sister-in-law to Haizhou."

"Master Marquis has a mission, and Qin will never shirk it."

Qin Huaiyu?

Isn't it because his father has read too many Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties?

Jia Huan stood up quickly and said, "Brother Qin, there is no need to be polite. Please sit down and talk."

"My sister is just a guest in my Jia family, so I can't really talk about taking care of her. This time she went south to Haizhou with me, and it was just a little help, so why bother?"

"Brother Qin can pick up your sister at any time if it is convenient."

"I have something to ask, and I would like to ask Brother Qin to give me some advice."

Qin Huaiyu couldn't help but said: "Master Hou, my Qin family was destroyed by the joint efforts of seven families that day. The hatred of destroying the family cannot be forgotten."

"Now I dance on the tip of a knife every day, walking between death. I really don't want to take my roommate back to fight for my life with me."

"I just ask the Marquis to take care of my sister-in-law for a while and let her live a normal life. The Marquis is so kind and kind, and Qin will definitely be rewarded."

"I wonder what the Marquis asked me about? Mr. Qin must have told me everything he knew."

Hearing Qin Huaiyu's words, Jia Huan couldn't help but look thoughtful on his face.

It turned out that Qin Huaiyu had been plotting revenge. Jia Huan felt that this guy was probably leading a team of Japanese pirates.

However, as long as you don't do many evil things, you can use it for yourself.

It's just preliminary contact now, and we still need to make more observations before making any calculations.

Thinking of this, Jia Huan couldn't help but ask: "Brother Qin, do you know where the overseas stronghold of the red-haired thief is?"

Qin Huaiyu couldn't help but said: "The red-haired thief and our eight families have been doing business for many years."

"And they are not completely wary of us. However, in recent years, when I was secretly investigating the details of the six families, I also found out some information about the red-haired thieves."

"But because it has nothing to do with revenge, I didn't pay much attention to it. Since the Marquis asked about it, I will definitely ask my brothers to find out more about it after I go back, and then I will inform the Marquis."

Hearing Qin Huaiyu's words, Jia Huan couldn't help but feel relieved.

Jia Huan felt that Qin Huaiyu probably knew where the red-haired thief's secret base was.

The reason why he shied away from going back to find out more before telling himself was probably just to sell himself a favor.

The purpose is nothing more than to let him take care of his sister more.

For Jia Huan, this is just a piece of cake.

Not to mention that Miaoyu has a certain amount of assets, she is a little rich woman.

Even if she was penniless, it wasn't like Jia Huan couldn't afford to support her.

Next, Jia Huan and Qin Huaiyu had a conversation.

The two had never known each other before.

Qin Huaiyu must have heard of Jia Huan, but Jia Huan knew nothing about him.

The process of conversation is also a process of mutual testing between the two.

Although both of them had something to hide, they also got something useful from each other.

Of course, these two people also deliberately leaked this information.

Jia Huan learned from Qin Huaiyu that he still had a team of more than 2,000 people with more than 30 small boats, and they mainly made a living selling private salt.

Maybe he would hide something, but at least Jia Huan had a general understanding of him.

This is a force that can be fought for. Even if it cannot be incorporated, at least everyone can cooperate.

Qin Huaiyu had a hard time surviving with this hidden power.

Because these years, the Six Families have been looking for them and are ready to eradicate them.

They can be said to be surviving in the cracks.

Jia Huan thought for a while and decided to help them.

Thinking of this, Jia Huan couldn't help but said to Qin Huaiyu: "I wonder if Brother Qin knows about Haitian Island?"

Hearing this question, Qin Huaiyu couldn't help but said: "Of course I know, Haitian Island has always been a relatively active trading place."

"They seem to have changed their controllers recently. The island has its own escort and has become more powerful."

"Their business has expanded a lot. Currently, Haitian Island has attracted the attention of many forces."

The development of Haitian Island is still very fast, after all, there is the capital support of Jia Huan behind it.

The development of Haitian Island has always been under the control of Jia Huan and is developing step by step.

If Jia Huan hadn't ensured that Haitian Island's economic strength and military strength would develop simultaneously, Haitian Island's development would actually have been faster.

Jia Huan couldn't help but ask: "I wonder if Brother Qin has any intention to cooperate with Haitian Island?"

"For example, we can transport some supplies to Haitian Island. Or start some cooperation in other aspects?"

Hearing this, Qin Huaiyu couldn't help but be overjoyed.

He hurriedly said: "Yes, we are very willing to cooperate with Haitian Island, but we can't find a way."

"Can the Marquis help us build a bridge?"

Jia Huan nodded with a smile and said: "This is natural. If you are willing, I can help you connect the bridge at any time!"

Qin Huaiyu said happily: "In this way, Qin will thank the Marquis for his great kindness on behalf of two thousand brothers."

The great man once said: Unite all the forces that can be united to make more friends and fewer enemies.

If Qin Huaiyu's power can be used for himself, then Ping Hongmao's confidence will be increased by three points.

Jia Huan nodded and said, "In that case, Brother Qin can come to Taibai Restaurant for a banquet in three days' time. Then we can have detailed discussions with Haitian Island."

Qin Huaiyu expressed his thanks again.

After Qin Huaiyu left, Jia Huan called Mo Er and told him to arrange a meeting with Qin Huaiyu in three days. (End of chapter)
