Zhang Zhongjian was extremely angry.
If he had his previous temper, if this little bastard dared to act like a big-tailed wolf in front of him, he would definitely be beaten violently, letting him know how high and thick the sky is.
When traveling in the world, you must respect your predecessors!
But after all, more than ten years of forbearance have long since smoothed the edges and corners, and the age of shouting and killing at every turn has long passed. Moreover, coming to Lin Yiguo this time did not get the support he wanted. Perhaps the purpose of this trip can only be realized with Fang Jun, and he had to give up another three points...
Taking a deep breath, Zhang Zhongjian frowned and said, "Are all the officials in the Tang Dynasty today like you? Hum, shameless people in the court have seized high positions. In my opinion, how long will this Tang Dynasty last?"
Fang Jun just laughed, you only have such a little ability to ridicule?
It may be that these decades of seclusion have caused you to fall out of touch with society...
"Thick face, dark heart, this is the only way to run in the officialdom. Be it the Tang Dynasty, the Sui Dynasty, or even as far back as the Qin and Han Dynasties, this is the case. Senior, your words really flattered the younger generation. My father has criticized the younger generation for being too shameless many times. Bo, I’m afraid I won’t be able to do anything in the officialdom…”
When Zhang Zhongjian heard this, he immediately laughed angrily.
Is this a compliment to you?
This face is really invincible!
Then Li Er seemed to be a wise and wise man in the past. How could he summon such shameless people to the court and still use them in such a high position?
It's so stupid!
There were footsteps at the cabin door, and then the door was pushed open and a person strode in.
Liu Rengui and Liu Renyuan were the only two people in the entire navy who could enter Fang Jun's cabin without a pass. Liu Rengui was the third member of the Navy besides Su Dingfang and Fang Jun. He was deeply trusted by Fang Jun and his status was unquestionable. Fang Jun allowed him to have this privilege. Liu Renyuan was carefree and didn't care about any rules or regulations. Fang Jun didn't bother to pay attention to him. The others strictly abided by the rules. Although Fang Jun didn't give strict orders to enter and report, they didn't dare to go in or out easily.
The visitor was none other than Liu Rengui.
After glancing at Zhang Zhongjian, Liu Rengui walked to Fang Jun and whispered: "Fan Zhenlong personally came to the port to greet the Marquis. He has already arrived at the dock. Lord Marquis, look..."
Coming here to discuss the construction of Da Nang with Fan Zhenlong is a top priority. As for this old man who seemed to have strong martial arts skills, it was not worth it for Fang Jun to delay his business.
Fang Jun was very sorry. Now he had something to ask of Fan Zhenlong, so he couldn't wait any longer. If he was kept waiting at the dock for a long time, he might have resentment in his heart, which would be detrimental to the overall situation. But he still wanted to take advantage of Zhang Zhongjian and heard many secrets from him, so he had to give up now.
"Senior, since you like Mr. Fang, don't say anything about asking or not. If you have something to do, it's okay to just say it. As long as it's within the scope of Mr. Fang's ability, never postpone it."
Look at the Buddha's face without looking at the monk's face. Although he and Li Jing are not familiar with each other, they have always admired and worshiped the military god of the Tang Dynasty. Moreover, Li Jing's disciple Su Dingfang is his general. This kind of affection will always be sold to Zhang Zhongjian. .
Zhang Zhongjian's face softened slightly: "It may be a big deal for others, but it is not difficult for you, Mr. Hou. There are many former Sui immigrants on a certain island, but they are deeply loved by the indigenous Tagalog people on the nearby big island. It is unbearable to be harassed by people, so I want to purchase a batch of weapons and armor, but I have no way to do it. I hope that the Marquis can make it happen."
If it wasn't for the helpless people who were crossing the ocean in search of a stable life in a pure land, how could Zhang Zhongjian, a man of seven feet, beg for help in such a humble manner?
It's a pity that he doesn't have the skills to slay dragons, but he has no choice but to deal with the overwhelming number of people in Tagalog, so he has to lower his proud head for the people of the island.
And it’s not necessarily possible.
The Marquis in front of him looks young, but in fact he is as cunning as a fox and has a thick heart. He would not agree to such a big deal so easily even if he gave his name to sell weapons and armor without permission, which is tantamount to treason.
But what surprised him was that Fang Jun actually agreed...
"It's absolutely no problem, just not too much, otherwise I won't be able to explain it. Please note that the weapons in the army are strictly recorded. How much is given to you, I will have to make up for it from my own blacksmith shop. Don't come here. The less can be filled by coming, but if there are too many, I will not be able to handle them, so I hope you will be considerate, senior."
Zhang Zhongjian was shocked: "So happy?"
Fang Jun said with emotion: "Whether it is the people of the Tang Dynasty or the survivors of the former Sui Dynasty, they are all descendants of the Chinese and Han families! It is a family matter for us to fight behind closed doors, but when we go outside, we only have one name. ——Han people! How can we allow those savage natives who live like raw hair and drink blood to run wild on the heads of my sons of the Han family? I am fully responsible for this matter!"
Zhang Zhongjian has been observing Fang Jun's eyes. When he said these words, his eyes were bright and upright and solemn. Judging from Zhang Zhongjian's long experience in the world, it is completely sincere and straightforward.
This guy is a bit interesting...
Zhang Zhongjian immediately stood up, clasped his fists and said solemnly: "Well, thank you Lord Marquis for your deep friendship! I will leave first, and someone will go to Da Nang to meet Lord Marquis later. If you are destined to meet him in the future, you might as well go to the small island of so and so. In a few days, let me show my friendship as a landlord. By the way, I can bring some good friends to my brother... Alas!"
The brother he calls is naturally Li Jing.
They were sworn friends and treated each other with sincerity, but they almost turned against each other because of a woman. Although he cherished this brotherly love and resolutely left to fulfill the two of them, in the final analysis, they parted ways, and they have been separated from each other ever since...
How can you not feel deeply sad?
Fang Jun was overjoyed: "That's what I wanted! Since the senior invites me, how can I refuse? I will bring some fine wine to my senior to chat with him for a few days. There are still many things I haven't discussed with my senior in detail. It's really hard to scratch my heart!"
"This...goodbye!"
Zhang Zhongjian's face darkened and he regretted saying these humble words. This kid is an inquisitive person, how could he forget it?
After that, he hurried towards the cabin door.
When he reached the door, he suddenly stood still, turned around and said to Fang Jun with a calm face: "I almost forgot, you brought two kilograms of tea to someone."
Fang Jun's eyes twitched.
Damn it, two pounds...
Why don't you go and grab it?
*****
"I'll take care of this matter, don't worry, Lord Marquis."
Seeing Fan Zhenlong, Fang Jun explained his intention, and the former agreed.
The land has been sold and the troops have been stationed. Is this the last step left? Good people, let's do it to the end! Anyway, the Zhenla people have just retreated, and Lin Yi's military equipment is empty and the sky is full of wasteland. It is the time when the Tang Dynasty needs protection, and it must not be offended.
Fang Jun breathed a sigh of relief.
Fang Jun really had no choice but to go around in such a big circle to save the country, but as long as he had a clear excuse, the corrupt scholars in the country would not go too far.
Everything is ready, Fang Jun plans to return.
He has already made plans for the ports in Da Nang and Cam Ranh. He only needs to follow them and there is no need for him to stay here permanently. Lin Yiguo cannot compare with the Tang Dynasty. It will take at least two years to complete the construction of such a huge port plan. It is impossible for him to stay for such a long time...
Fang Jun chose Liu Rengui as the garrison general.
Liu Rengui has a calm personality, is calm in the face of trouble, and is quite proficient in both military strategy and business affairs. He is really the best candidate for "officer stationed abroad". Being able to hold this position is also a kind of qualification. If you stay for two years steadily, as long as there are no mistakes, you will be promoted to another level.
Liu Renyuan has an impulsive personality and is too selfish. He is really not suitable for such a position of control. Xue Rengui is super capable, but after all, he has only been in the army for a short time and lacks tempering, so he needs a little more refinement.
As for Mr. Xi’s purchase, I’m not willing to...
In Xi Junmai's words: "We just need to follow Mr. Hou. If we stay here and have to worry about a bunch of crap all day long, how stupid can we be?"
Fang Jun was speechless...
This is a guy who has no ambitions and is content with a small amount of money. He is a perfect candidate for the hawk's henchman.
Returning to Da Nang, allocate 200 men in full armor and weapons to the people left behind by Zhang Zhongjian.
Zhang Zhongjian's men were so happy with the steel horizontal swords produced by the Fangjia Iron Works in Qingyishui'er and the complete set of armor made by water-powered forging hammers that they thanked him profusely before boarding the ship and returning to meet him. Garuk people fight...
With these two hundred sophisticated equipment, those natives must have suffered a brutal massacre, right?
Fang Jun is happy to hear about this.
Only by killing them all can the hatred be relieved!
