Chapter 369 Jingkou
When Wang Jing and his officials were talking about the princes in the south of the Yangtze River, some people in the south were also talking about him.

South of the great river, Jingkou City!

Jingkou was also called Dantu, and Danyang and Jintan in the south were the borders of the Liu Song Dynasty. At this time, the streets in Jingkou City were crowded with many people and businessmen.

It was not affected by the war in the west at all.

Jiangnan is densely populated. In just two or three years, cities have been built in all the key points of the mountains and rivers, and the plains and swamps have been developed and filled to serve as farmland to provide food and grass for the major forces.

Whether it is the Ming army or Liu Bi, the princes in the south have talents in civil affairs under their command, and they all follow the orthodox government line, and they attach great importance to grain, grass and land.

Those small and medium-sized forces that only know how to run around and plunder have long since been destroyed in the confrontation of several princes in the south of the Yangtze River.

In a restaurant in the north of Jingkou City, the three floors of the restaurant below were full of guests. Among them were many businessmen who traveled all over the place.

In the elegant room upstairs.

Two scribes are drinking and talking near the window.

Their eyes were dimly lit, and it was obvious that their mental strength was not weak. They could clearly hear the voice of the businessman below.

One of the scribes stood at the window, and across the pier, he saw the mighty river in the north, which looked like a vast ocean.

The surface of the river is full of steam, and there are many merchant ships sailing under the risk of being attacked by strange beasts in the river.

These merchant ships either went to Changshu or Jinling upstream.

Whether it is the Ming army in Jinling or the Liu Song soldiers in Jingkou, they only prohibit the passage of naval warships, but they do not turn away these merchant ships.

When the Ming army and Liu Song soldiers fought each other, merchant ships also flowed in an endless stream.

"Liu Yilong's Wenzhi is good. In a short period of time, Jingkou and Danyang can be governed to be extremely prosperous, and the people can live in peace... It's a pity that he has too few generals under his command, and he is no match for the Ming army!"

The scribe who was sitting on a chair drinking slowly sighed.

He looks extremely handsome and has an outstanding figure. If you don't observe carefully, you might think he is a woman disguised as a man...

It seems that in order to avoid being misunderstood, the scribe has two beards, showing a little more masculinity.

In addition, the scribe standing at the window has an extraordinary temperament and sharp eyes.

"There are so many generals in the Ming army, it's normal that Liu Yilong can't stop him!"

said the scribe.

In the mouths of the two scribes, there was no scruple in mentioning the name of Song Wendi Liu Yilong.

At this moment, the two scribes suddenly shut their mouths, pricked up their ears, and heard the words of several merchants below the restaurant.

"Yangzhou changed hands, the Sui court was defeated... King Huai Wangjing has opened up the north-south canal, and now there are businessmen who are ready to take the risk of crossing the river north?"

After a while, the handsome scribe sitting on the chair was stunned for a moment.Apparently hearing the news for the first time.

This is also normal.

Nowadays, the land of Shenzhou is vast, and Jingkou and Yangzhou are separated by a ten-fold widened river. Without the passage of strong ships, it is very troublesome to travel between the two sides of the strait.

As for the information about Wang Jing of the Huai Army, the princes in the south of the Yangtze River sent spies to know it immediately.

But they will not spread these news casually to the ears of ordinary people.

Although the two scribes in the restaurant have extraordinary identities and abilities, they hide their identities now, and on the surface they are just ordinary scholars in Jingkou City.

It's okay to know the situation in Jiangnan, but it's difficult to know the news about Jiangbei.

This is also one of the reasons why they stay in the restaurant. They want to get the information they want to know from the merchants who travel around.

"Duke Huai is really fast. He captured Yangzhou and penetrated the canal so quickly!"

The handsome scholar showed admiration on his face.

It was not the first time for the two of them to hear about Wang Jing, they just got the news slowly, and they were not ignorant.

After knowing the history of the expansion of the Huai army, those who are willing to go to Mingzhu to show their ambitions will have some admiration for Wang Jing.

"Brother Yanlong, I remember that under Duke Huai's command, there are General Yang Kan, Xiao Yuanming and other relatives of the Xiao family who defected... Now that His Majesty is gone, why don't you and I go north to defect to Duke Huai?"

The handsome young man said.

Speaking of their origins and identities, they are all extraordinary.

The scholar named Yanlong is Fan Yun, the hero who assisted Xiao Yan in establishing Nanliang, and Xiao Yan's most trusted confidant. He is the prime minister of Nanliang, with first-class literary talents and government affairs.In the history of the original world, when he died of illness, Xiao Yan shed tears for it, feeling extremely mournful.

And the handsome young man was Shen Yue who was also known as the eight friends of Jingling along with Fan Yun.Xiao Yan is also one of the eight friends of Jingling, and he is not only a friend, but also a monarch and minister, and has a deep friendship with them.

Shen Yue is also the prime minister of Nanliang, very smart and talented, he repeatedly bumped into Xiao Yan in Yuan Shi's later years, and made rude remarks.

He was the one who urged Xiao Yan to accept Zen at first, but after dreaming of the scene of the last emperor of Southern Qi committing suicide, he secretly wrote a memorial to heaven, saying that receiving Zen was not his attention, and told the last emperor of Southern Qi not to seek revenge from him, but to find him if he wanted to. Find the right owner...

Later, I compared my memory of allusions with Xiao Yan, and memorized three less allusions than Xiao Yan. As a result, he told people when he came out of the palace that the emperor wants to save face and protect his weaknesses!I was giving way to Xiao Yan, otherwise I was afraid that he would die of shame!

If anyone dares to do so in other monarchs.

It is not an exaggeration to smash the corpse into ten thousand pieces and destroy the three clans!It can only be said that Shen Yue's constant killings and not being beheaded by the furious Xiao Yan is enough to prove that their friendship is indeed extraordinary.

When they arrived, they didn't follow Xiao Yan. When they were about to go to Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan was defeated by the Ming army before he developed.

After Xiao Yan's defeat, the two had nowhere to go, so they hid their identities and came to Jingkou.

The Ming army defeated Xiao Yan, they would definitely not go to Daming, and Liu Yilong had killed Shen Yue's father in the original history, and Shen Yue would definitely not serve Liu Song.

Compared to Shen Yue, Fan Yun was more thoughtful.

Therefore, among the two, Fan Yun's opinion prevailed.

"Yang Kan and Xiao Yuanming have defected to Duke Huai. It is not bad for us to go north to join the Huai army!"

Fan Yun pondered.

Shen Yue immediately raised his wine glass, drank it down, and said: "I see the princes in the south of the Yangtze River, except for the Ming army, which is not bad, the other princes can't compare with King Huai!"

"We went north to join the Huai army, and we will definitely have the opportunity to cross the south and go down the river in the future, and then we will face off against the Ming army to avenge His Majesty!"

Mention Xiao Yan.

There was a hint of sadness in Fan Yun's eyes. After coming to this world, he didn't have time to see his old friend, and the other party was gone.

What a pity.

Xiao Yan's martial arts and martial arts are extraordinary, and the establishment of Nanliang was also at its peak in history, but unfortunately, Nanliang and Xiao Yan could not compete with the Jinling Ming army after all.
