    In the Tongtuofang of Luoyang City, with Luoshui on its back, is the Shen family's residence.  Strictly speaking, this is the residence of the "big" family. After the Zuoluo naming system, the barbarians did not know the etiquette and took "big" as their surname. As his son, Damenyi naturally also had the surname "big" and passed it down to Shenxi's generation.  , he changed his surname. Taking "Shen" as his surname has its own meaning.  With a smile on her face, Shen Xi broke away from the surroundings of warblers and came to a small temple in the courtyard alone.  He did not enter the temple, but Heshi prayed silently for a moment. After that, his face turned dark.  Perhaps only when a person is alone, his sense of being a wandering child will all subside and be replaced by a kind of depth.  At this moment, he heard footsteps outside.  The moment Shen Xi turned around, there was a smile on his face again.  "Langjun, I would like to see Ye Langjun, who came to our house last time." The butler who came in said with his head down.  "Ye LangjunYe Chang?" "Exactly." "Oh, he is an interesting person. In Chang'an City, he caused a bloody storm, and in the blink of an eye he came to Luoyang again. Could it be that he wanted to  What big case is going on in Luoyang?" Shen Xi said to himself, but a trace of deep fear flashed in his eyes.  Shen Xi originally thought that Ye Chang was a hero and a talented person, so Shen Xi wanted to make friends with him. However, as he got to know Ye Chang better, especially the news that came from Chang'an City a few days ago, Shen Xi gradually understood that this Ye Chang was  Chang is definitely not a person he can subjugate.  Even getting close to him may be dangerous.  However, the other party came to visit suddenly, and it was at this time, just after the Spring Festival, so it was not difficult to turn him away.  Thinking of this, Shen Xi said, "Invite him in and I'll meet him in the garden." Not long after, Ye Chang appeared in front of Shen Xi.  Compared with when the two met before, Ye Chang was taller and his skin color was much darker. He was tanned on the Longyou Plateau.  When the two met, Ye Chang cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Shen's style is still the same. Today I was an uninvited guest. I hope Mr. Shen won't blame you." Shen Xi smiled and said, "You don't come to the door if you have nothing to do, and there is nothing good to do if you come.  "Ye Langjun, have you ever saved my life? If you have any orders, just tell me." Ye Chang looked around, Chen Xi understood, and sent everyone away, but he was even more suspicious in his heart:  What does Ye Chang have to say?  "I heard that there are many giant trees on Baishan Mountain in Bohai State. Is it true?" Ye Chang asked.  This question made Shen Xi stunned. After a while, he nodded and said, "The elders in the family really said so. "I have something I want to ask Mr. Shen for help.  "Ye Chang pondered for a moment, and then continued: "I am determined to search for true immortals overseas, so I tried to build a sea ship in Wuzhi. Now the ship has been built, but I heard that the East China Sea is very stormy, and there are giant whale sharks in the sea, and  The sea is vast and supplies are not easy.  The boats I'm building now are not enough. I need to build a bigger boat.  " Chen Xi suddenly realized. Although Ye Chang himself did not publicize the matter of Ye Chang building a ship and trying to go to sea, Shen Xi was not unaware of it. He even knew that the reason why Ye Chang talked about moving Princess Yuzhen was to go overseas.  Looking for the Fairy Mountain "I grew up in the Tang Dynasty, and I don't care about Anton's affairs" "Why does Mr. Shen recruit heroes?"  "Ye Chang interrupted Shen Xi's words rudely. Shen Xi's face changed slightly, but he didn't respond. Ye Chang stared at him and smiled slightly: "Mr. Shen, people don't tell secrets. I want to take the giant tree of Bohai Country.  Shipbuilding, so he wanted to build a shipyard in Liaodong. Shen Langjun wanted to return to his hometown. The two of us could cooperate sincerely.  "    "cooperate?  " "I need to borrow Shen Langjun's manpower temporarily. Shen Langjun can use our shipyard as a cover.  " Ye Chang also worked hard on Shen Xi. Now the leader of the Bohai Kingdom is Da Qinmao, the son of Da Wu Yi. He and Shen Xi are actually cousins, but this person is different from his father Da Qin Mao.  On the surface, he was quite respectful to the Tang Dynasty, so he sent assassins to Luoyang City to assassinate Shen Xi. There must be a reason why he dared to do such things that would offend the Tang Dynasty. The most likely reason was due to some of Shen Xi's actions.  It angered Da Qinmao, and may have even made Da Qinmao feel threatened. From these signs, Ye Chang judged that Shen Xi was definitely not someone who was willing to be lonely. "The shipyard is a cover?"  I'm afraid that just when your shipyard is opened, a group of tigers and wolves will swarm around.  Ye Langjun, don¡¯t overestimate the situation in Liaodong.¡± ¡°I have four enemies. One of them is the Silla people, the second is the Bohai County, the third is the remnants of Goguryeo, and the fourth is the various tribes in Liaodong.  ¡ª¡ªI know what kind of place it is, but there is the Tang Dynasty behind me.  "When Ye Chang said that "there is the Tang Dynasty behind him", he naturally had a kind of arrogance and confidence. Shen Xi was silent for a moment, but he had to admit that what Ye Chang said was very reasonable. This was the most powerful season of the Tang Dynasty, and the surrounding areas  Almost all the barbarians were defeated by the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty also suffered defeats. Some of the defeats were terrible, but they were powerful.The national strength allowed Datang to recover quickly, but the surrounding barbarians would never be able to make a comeback as long as they were defeated once.  "Sure enough, can we get the support of Governor Anton, Fan Yang, and Pinglu Jiedu?" Shen Xi asked, "Are you sure?" "The imperial decree, just rest assured."  Seeing that he was a little moved, Ye Chang added: "You know best what the situation is in Liaodong, and you also know the court's attitude towards Bohai."  How can a Bohai Kingdom leader who goes well and rebels at times be like a Bohai Kingdom Lord who was born and raised in the Tang Dynasty and is naturally close to the Tang Dynasty?  " As soon as these words came out, Shen Xi's heart skipped a beat. " He is a smart man, so he will not hide his ambitions under the pretense of indulging in women, but it is precisely because of this that he hopes to have a chance to return to Bohai  "The imperial court is in a state of unrest. I'm afraid it won't be willing to cause trouble on the border, let alone send troops to help me, right?"  "Chen Xi said hesitantly. "Of course the court won't help you. It's me who will help you," Ye Chang pointed at his nose. "YouI" Shen Xi immediately understood that helping Ye Chang was not the same as helping him.  It is different. At least for now, Liaodong still belongs to the Tang Dynasty in name. Although in fact the decrees of the Tang Dynasty can hardly be implemented here, both Silla and Bohai State recognize this place as the territory of the Tang Dynasty.  If the imperial court supported him in Shen Xi, it would be a direct threat to the Bohai Kingdom, and Bohai would definitely be in trouble. On the contrary, the imperial court only supported Ye Chang to build ships and go to sea. The Bohai Kingdom could not raise troops for such a trivial matter, even if they knew that Ye Chang was  With many of Shen Xi's supporters on the side, Bohai State could only fight in small quantities. Even if it sent troops, it would only attack in small quantities and not dare to attack on a large scale. Moreover, Shen Xi also had deeper problems in mind.  Come, the Central Plains is prosperous. Unless you are from Bohai like him and want the throne of Bohai, how can a person like Ye Chang be willing to go to the cold and remote Liaodong? Therefore, as Ye Chang said, "building ships and going to sea to seek immortals and visit the road."  Shen Xi still believes half of the reasons. If this is the case, the shipyard's power will not last long, and if he uses more of his people, he can even occupy the magpie's nest. "Ye Langjun really wants to go?"  " "That's natural, otherwise why would you come to Shen Langjun for help at this time?  " After confirming Ye Chang's determination, Shen Xi made a decisive decision: "Well, please Ye Langjun come with me.  " Leading Ye Chang into the small temple in his backyard, Ye Chang was a little strange. If he wanted to have a secret conversation with him, he should go to the study room, but why would he come to this temple. " Rich people build a temple in their back garden.  Temples are not a strange thing at this time. Usually they are hosted by widowed and childless women at home, but this temple of the Shen family is a bit strange. No one takes care of it. After entering, he felt that the place was small, Ye Chang  Frowning, he was confused, but he saw Shen Xi walking straight to the Buddhist hall. He prayed silently for a moment, then turned around and said, "Silla and Goguryeo people believe in Confucianism, but we Bohai people believe in Buddhism. There is something important about it.  The things are hidden in the Buddhist niches.  " After saying that, he went up to the confessional and reached behind the Buddha statue in the niche. After a while, he took out a scroll. Seeing how cautious he was, Ye Chang was a little curious and didn't know what the scroll was. Then,  Shen Xi cleaned up the confession, unfolded the scroll in front of him, and laid it on it. Ye Chang went over to take a look, and then couldn't help but be speechless. "Ye Langjun, you are in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms".  Remember, Zhang Song presented the map of Xichuan to Liu Xuande. Today I will present to you the "Ten Thousand Miles Map of the Bohai Sea". When Chen Xi showed this map in front of Ye Chang, his tone was full of pride. He didn't wait for Ye Chang's reaction and took care of himself.  He said: "My late father fled back from his homeland. He took neither gold, silver, nor pearls and jade. He only took two things with him. One was the Buddha statue in this Buddhist niche, and the other was this "Ten Thousand Miles of Bohai Sea".  Balhae, Goryeo, Silla, Andong, Heishui, the territory of thousands of miles, are all here." If others see this map, they will definitely feel shocked. In this era, maps are treasures. But they have seen the satellite map of another life.  Ye Chang, looking at the black crosses and red circles painted here and there, really felt shabby. "Well, why, Ye Langjun thinks this picture is not good?  " Shen Xi boasted for a long time, but did not get a response from Ye Chang. He was surprised. He turned his head and saw that Ye Chang's face was calm and not excited at all. He felt unhappy. "No, it's very good, but a certain family can't see it very well.  Understand.  Ye Chang smiled and said: "Where is the river, where is the river, where is the mountain?"  "It's not that he really doesn't understand, but in front of Shen Xi, he decided to hide his clumsiness. "Oh, let me tell you something.  " Shen Xi probably looked at this map often, so he pointed at random, which side was the White Mountain, which side was the Black Water, where was the capital of the Silla King, and where was the territory of the Bohai County. He just said it casually. Ye said it casually.  Chang read it and was secretly surprised: when I paintedThe person who painted this picture was not thinking about just the Bohai County, but the entire Northeast. "Who made this painting?" He glanced at the gap and asked.  "It took two generations of ancestors to complete" Shen Xi said this and glanced at Ye Chang.  The two of them laughed at the same time, and Shen Xi said proudly: "The ancestors and ancestors had great ambitions, but I, an unworthy descendant, only want to get back what belongs to me." This was a confrontation between the two of them. Ye Chang asked,  In fact, it means that Chen Xi's ancestor Da Zuorong was very ambitious in drawing this picture, but Shen Xi said that he was satisfied just thinking about being the leader of the Bohai Kingdom.  In fact, both of them knew it well in their hearts.  Shen Xi grew up in a place close to the Tang Dynasty and was most familiar with the culture and techniques of the Tang Dynasty. If he could go back and become king, how could he not introduce the system and techniques of the Tang Dynasty to strengthen the country and eventually compete with the Tang Dynasty? But Ye  Chang sneered in his heart, the Northeast was a treasure land, if he had established a firm foothold in Liaodong, how could he tolerate others snoring next to his bed?  "How many people does Brother Shen have?" Although the two had their own agendas, they had reached a tacit understanding in a short period of time, so Ye Chang asked directly.  "Don't worry about the manpower. It's more than enough to help you build a shipyard. Ye Langjun, where do you think is the most suitable place to build a shipyard?" "Duli Town." Ye Chang pointed to the Jianjian Road at the southernmost tip of the Liaodong Peninsula.  This is the Lushun of later generations. It is also the closest to Shandong. Occupying this place will make it more convenient for supplies from Shandong.  Moreover, this place is easy to defend and difficult to attack. As long as the main road to the north is blocked, it can give the rear a sense of security.  In terms of products, this area can be used for drying salt and fishing. The mineral deposits are rich in limestone, clay, quartz stone, dolomite, etc., and are easy to mine. As for coal and iron, although there is not much, it is far away from coal and production.  The iron place is close. Moreover, because it is close to Shandong and there are many Han people, it is suitable as a starting point.  Chen Xi saw Ye Chang pointing here, and he had no doubts in his mind. In his opinion, the terrain here was small, but it only had a good harbor. Ye Chang wanted to build a ship, so it was a good place to use it.  "There are people of mine in Liaodong." Shen Xi pondered for a while: "However, Ye Langjun, brothers still want to settle accounts clearly. There are things we have to say clearly between us. What good does it do me? Don't say you are protecting me.  "If you are like this, my subordinates who are loyal to me will still be fine in Liaodong." "I'm afraid the number is getting smaller and smaller." Ye Chang stabbed him, and then said with a smile: "But the sea journey used to be long.  That's why travel is not easy. If I were to settle in Duli Town, I would have to open a regular flight from Duli to Denglai - that is, as long as the weather permits, there will be a ship traveling between Duli and Dengzhou every ten days.  If you want to convey the news, you can use this flight." "As Ye Chang said, although there are still Bohai people loyal to Shen Xi's group in Liaodong, their number has become smaller and smaller. In fact, Shen Xi's group has become smaller and smaller.  The impact of the branch on the Bohai Sea has become smaller and smaller. After all, twenty years have passed.  The key reason for this situation was the lack of information. The condition put forward by Ye Chang made Shen Xi nod.  But it¡¯s not enough. It¡¯s still far from what Shen Xi wants.  "Second, if you want to train your troops, I can provide you with food, grass and equipment." Ye Chang put forward the second condition, which immediately made Shen Xi feel full.  Raising and training troops is not a trivial matter, and requires a large amount of money to be spent.  Although Shen Xi now has some property, it is not enough to support him in raising soldiers. Without soldiers, let alone regaining the family property.  "How many soldiers?" "It depends on how many people you have, limited to two thousand." Ye Chang stretched out two fingers: "You know my ability to make money, so don't worry." "Okay, okay, okay.  Is there anything else?" Ye Chang laughed: "Isn't this enough? If you want to find more, it's not difficult But when the time comes, your people in Liaodong will have to find mines for me.  Transporting precious goods, especially giant trees, as you said, brother Shen, you can't just let me take care of you if you have a brother to settle accounts, right?" Shen Xi didn't hesitate. He didn't have anything anyway.  He could lose it, so he immediately stretched out his palms: "Nuo and the two of them struck three palms in a row as an oath.
