Chapter 861: A Different Sky Someone in the south of the Yangtze River looked up at the sky and murmured to himself that he wanted to be emperor. The Moupingyang people of Eastern Xinjiang were rampant in the city, and the merchants of Eastern Chu disappeared. None of this seems to have anything to do with Fang Jie, but if you look down from the sky, you will see that all the forces, big and small, are on a chessboard, and no one knows which one is the hair that affects the whole body, so what? Maybe it doesn't matter? After Chen Xiaoru reported that the Eastern Chu merchants had disappeared in Mouping, Fang Jie felt a little nervous. If this was as he speculated, the changes in the pattern of the Central Plains would no longer be led by the Han people themselves. He ordered the ship to stop at the shore and said he wanted to wait for someone. And the person he was waiting for was currently rolling towards this side with 1,200 iron cavalry following the official wind. If anyone knew that Fang Jie had come to Eastern Xinjiang, their first reaction would be four words: make friends at a distance and attack at a close distance The Black Flag Army and the Mu Mansion are in the east and west. If they form a temporary alliance, it will definitely affect the world. But who would have thought that Fang Jie was not here to make an alliance, but to make enemies? Not long after the big ship docked, a small boat caught up from behind and leaned against the big ship. Wu Yiyi, who had already changed into a suit of brocade clothes, got on the big ship with a serious expression and went straight to where Fang Jie was. "Lord" Wu Yiyi bowed and saluted after entering the door. "Master Marquis" Fang Jie glanced at him: "Are you here because of my order to stop the ship?" Wu Yiyi nodded: "I can understand why my lord deliberately angered Mu Mansion, but I don't understand why he stopped the ship and waited. After all, The safety of the lord is more important than anything else, and everything must be considered based on this. Mu Guangling's cultivation is very strong, and his subordinates have just learned that in order to deal with the great practitioners they will face on the battlefield in the future, Mu Guangling specially trained a group of practitioners. Very special cavalry. My subordinates still don¡¯t know what special means these cavalry have, but since the Mu Mansion is well prepared, why did the Lord stop the ship?¡± Fang Jie told the news that Chen Xiaoru had reported, and Wu Yiyi¡¯s expression changed. Variety. "If so, we should really stay and warn him. If the foreigners launch troops in the Central Plains, the people of Mu Mansion will be restrained. At that time, it will also be of great help to the Black Flag Army's march out of the southwest." Wu Yiyi can guess Fang Jie Why deliberately offend the Mu Mansion? No matter how far the Mu Mansion is from the southwest, sooner or later it will face the Black Flag Army. Once Mu Mansion's troops enter the Central Plains, they will immediately become the common enemy of many forces. It was precisely because Mu Guangling knew this that he did not raise troops for a long time. His son Mu Xianjun even secretly ridiculed his father for being timid and cowardly, but how could he have such deep thoughts as his father? Without complete preparations, no matter how powerful the Mu Mansion is in Eastern Xinjiang, how can they dare to enter the Central Plains and face enemies all over the world? Mu Xianjun is too naive, and Mu Guangling is very cunning. By then, once all the forces in the Central Plains unite to fight against the Mu Mansion, it will be of no benefit to the Black Flag Army if it is revealed that Fang Jie had entered Eastern Xinjiang to form an alliance with the Mu Mansion. Everyone has a sense of region, and they are all Han people. However, the people from the Central Plains themselves fought extremely fiercely, but they did not allow the people from the Eastern Xinjiang to interfere. Many powerful people in the Central Plains and Jiangnan will never allow a force from Eastern Xinjiang to finally take away that chair. ??????????????? No matter how hard we fight, it has always been the people from the Central Plains who have taken turns to take charge. But once the people from Eastern Xinjiang intervene and succeed in the end, then the forces of all parties will be reshuffled in the future. How much interest can these powerful people still have? Originally, they were the ones who shared the big piece of cake in the Central Plains. Now that an outsider is here, I am afraid that they will eat more, and they will not agree. Fang Jie¡¯s goal is to become the leader of all forces in the Central Plains in the future. It seems unwise to offend Mu Mansion now, but it will be different later. It was precisely because Fang Jie had seen through the minds of the powerful people in the Central Plains that he had no intention of establishing a good relationship with Mu Mansion from the beginning. Now it seems that the foreigners really want to invade the Central Plains. Wu Daodao thought that Fang Jie meant to tell Mu Guangling about this matter, so that Mu Guangling would not dare to leave easily. After all, Eastern Xinjiang was his foundation. . Once he leads his troops westward into the Central Plains, how can Eastern Xinjiang resist the invasion of foreigners? ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? "But" Wu Yiyi was silent for a while and then said: "This matter does not involve the lord in danger. It is better to tell Mu Xianjun about this matter and then leave him alone. He will naturally tell Mu Guangling." Fang Jie was shaken. Shaking his head: "You haven't seen Mu Xianjun's eyes Even if I tell Mu Xianjun about the invasion of foreigners, he will not tell Mu Guangling. The ambition in Mu Xianjun's eyes is too great, In order to be able to sit on that chair in the future, he will not be reluctant to leave Eastern Xinjiang. Since ancient times, those who sit in the Central Plains are the orthodox people in the world. If the Mu Mansion army can really take over the Central Plains,?What else do you want from Dongjiang? " "This person can't be so stupid, right? " "He's not stupid, he's paranoid. Fang Jie smiled: "Don't worry, Mr. Hou, I won't let myself be easily involved in danger." It's just a good chance that you're here. I originally planned to send someone to invite you over. " "What are your orders, my lord?" "Wu Yiyi asked. "The first thing is, everyone on this ship will be transferred to another ship. You will be in charge and continue to return westward. The ship is parked here and I am left alone. Don't say anything more. It's much easier for me to escape on my own than to escape with most of them. I will ask Taoist Master Xiang Qingniu to support me secretly, so you don¡¯t need to persuade me anymore. " "Second thing, tell me to go down and do our best to investigate Dong Chu's affairs. No matter how quickly Dong Chu is destroyed, there will eventually be people who stay outside and never go back. Only Huotong Tianxiaxing has the strength to find these people. " "Here" Wu Yiyi nodded: "I asked Lian Dan and his wife to go with another big ship. Please stay here. " He bowed his head and leaned over: "When I go back, I will ask the Lord to punish me for disrespecting military orders. " Fang Jie was silent for a while and did not refuse. He nodded: "Then let's arrange it this way. " After saying this, Fang Jie turned to look at Chen Xiaoru, who had been standing aside: "Send a secret message to Zuo Mingchan. I guess he won't be able to return to the camp for a while. If foreigners really invaded, the first stop would be Mouping. Let him stay with his men. Once the foreign army moves in, Zuo Mingchan's people will break into pieces and lurk. I need them to find out all the news about the foreign army. " "Here! " Chen Xiaoru responded, turned around and went out to do things. Fang Jie glanced out the window and said to himself: "I don't know how many people will forget the disputes over interests at that time I don't know how many good men will. Killed by gunfire" Wu Yiyi didn't understand what he said and was stunned for a long time. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? There is no trace of Dongchu people in the entire Dongchu capital. All Dongchu residents are ordered to stay in their homes, and any Dongchu people found taking to the streets privately will be killed by at least 100,000 troops from the Opulu Empire. They sailed into this city, which is known as the richest in the world, and then put countless gold and silver on the ship and transported it back to the other side of the ocean. Standing at the highest point of the Imperial Palace in Ruyi City, the capital of Dongchu, you can see the Opulu Empire swimming back and forth on the sea. Warships. The beasts covered with a layer of iron look very different from the warships of the Dongchu people. The warships of the Opulu Empire do not look gorgeous or even ugly, but they are undoubtedly real war machines. From time to time, you can see fire on the warships, which is the power of the ship's artillery. Some Dongchu fishermen tried to escape from the Opulu Empire's warships in small boats, but they were mercilessly blasted to pieces by the artillery. The light of the group is not as beautiful as fireworks, but there is only a cold and murderous atmosphere. The scale of Ruyi City is definitely not as large as Chang'an, but it seems to be more magnificent because the whole city is built according to the mountain. It extends from the mountainside of the mountain near the sea and then extends to the shore. Unlike Chang'an City, except for the magnificent palace built on the mountainside, Ruyi City has no city walls along the coast and is the heart of the country. In this way, they were exposed to the enemy's warships and artillery. The people of Dongchu always thought that they were the rulers of the sea, so they never worried about the safety of the capital. On the contrary, they always thought that the ultimate enemy would be the Sui Empire in the Central Plains. They are not foreigners from overseas, so they deploy all their troops on the western front. Although Ruyi City has a guard that is said to be armed to the teeth, in the face of a sudden disaster, it is obvious that the fighting will of the Dongchu people is far less than that of the Han people in the Central Plains. , only half of the mighty imperial guards chose to take up arms and surround Ruyi City, and the Dongchu fleet, which was known as the invincible in the world, was destroyed before the crossbow ropes on the Dongchu warships were even mounted. At the critical moment, the enemy's shells had already landed on the bow of the ship. This was a war with a huge disparity in strength. The enemy was well prepared, but the Dongchu people were completely unprepared. wonderful. "Standing in front of the palace hall, the Emperor of the Opulu Empire, who was revered as Emperor Leman, stood with his hands behind his hands. He stood there overlooking the entire Ruyi City, watching his fleet continue to besiege the remaining Dongchu on the sea. Navy. "They have such a prosperous economy, such magnificent buildings, such luxurious palaces, andSuch a wealthy noble did not have an army that could keep up with the times. Moreover, their will to resist seemed not as strong as I imagined. Most people quickly accepted the fact of defeat However, there happened to be a group of wonderful people who had some kind of natural power who were loyal to the royal family and could Rescued the Emperor of Dong Chu from the siege of the army. " He seemed a little confused: "Why are those people so powerful? Is the sky above us on the other side of the sea really different from the sky above this land? " "My respected Majesty. " Archduke Hullens, who had gray hair and a hunched back, said respectfully: "Those are just a few people. Relatively speaking, the people on this land are weak sheep, and those powerful people are just caregivers. These sheep are just lions. This is a very strange composition, but there is no doubt that the number of lions is far from being able to protect the sheep Moreover, it would be okay if the sky here was really different from the sky over there before. , because you are already standing on this land, the sky will also change. Emperor Lyman smiled, looked at Hullens and said, "Do you know why I like to take you with me?" " Grand Duke Hullens lowered his head: "Because I am loyal enough. " "This is just one of the reasons, and the other is you can always say something that makes me happy. I know how accomplished I am, so I need someone around me to sing my praises. Otherwise, life would be so meaningless. Hullens smiled humbly, showing the yellowed teeth in his mouth. "My respected Majesty, do we want to continue the attack immediately?" " "Of course" Emperor Leman turned to look at the Central Plains: "I heard that there is a city called Chang'an over there. It is ten times bigger than Ruyi City in Dongchu, and even bigger than the capital of the Aupulu Empire. several times. I want to go there and kill all those lions and put all the sheep in my fold to produce my wool. "Haha" Hullens laughed, seeming to particularly admire Emperor Lyman's humor.
