As if remembering something, An Miaoyi continued to ask:
"What's going on over there at Jiang Yuyan now..."
Facing An Miaoyi's inquiry, Qiqige thought for a while and said:
"Your Excellency has approved Rishengchang Bank's entry into the Qilu market. It is said that Jiang Yuyan had met with Qilu Chief Minister Sun Jing'an before and confirmed the intention of cooperation between the two parties. Now it has been approved by Your Excellency. Not surprisingly, the two parties will soon A cooperation agreement will be reached!”
After hearing the news, An Miaoyi's face remained as calm as water, only a hint of strange color flashed deep in her eyes.
The great success of the Rishengchang bank account in Hebei and Henan has attracted a lot of attention within the Fengwu Army. Officials from all over the country are aware of the huge energy behind this matter and are actively operating it. I want to set up similar voting accounts in various places to use private savings to develop the economy and people's livelihood.
The reason why An Miaoyi attacked Jiang Yuyan was not only disgusted with Jiang Yuyan, but also had a deeper reason.
With the help of the Rishengchang bank account, Murong Yuliang's political performance in Hebei was very impressive, much better than expected. This also allowed Murong Yuliang to sweep away the decline caused by corruption before, and in the Fengwu Army There was quite a bit of limelight inside.
Murong Yuliang was proud, and An Miaoyi naturally couldn't stand it, but An Miaoyi also knew that although Ye Mingsheng allowed certain internal differences and struggles, Ye Mingsheng would never allow the two sides to stumble and hinder each other.
Whoever dares to cross the red line will bear the wrath of Ye Mingsheng's thunder······················
An Miaoyi, who knew how powerful she was, naturally did not dare to cross the red line, but she was not willing to just let Murong Yuliang continue to steal the limelight.
So she just wanted to stir up the relationship between Murong Yuliang and Jiang Yuyan. Through some channels, she found out that in order to pursue political achievements, Murong Yuliang kept asking for money from the Rishengchang Bank, which caused Rishengchang's cash flow to be very tight, and Cash flow is the lifeblood of a bank account.
Once there is a problem with the bank's cash flow, causing people to panic and run, it will be fatal to the bank. Jiang Yuyan is also aware of this problem and has communicated with Murong Yuliang, but Murong Yuliang pursues political achievements. , but he didn't take this seriously and said that Rishengchang Bank must cooperate with the government unconditionally.
After discovering this, An Miaoyi began to make a fuss about this. When Jiang Yuyan came to Yijing, she quietly sent the matter to the Attendance Department and informed Ye Mingsheng through the Attendance Department.
Things were just as she imagined. Ye Mingsheng took this matter very seriously and gave Murong Yuliang an order, telling him not to drain the lake but to develop steadily and sustainably.
In this way, even if Jiang Yuyan did not take the initiative to report, I believe that this is just yellow mud falling into her crotch, which is either shit or shit!

Murong Yuliang must have felt that Jiang Yuyan was using Ye Mingsheng to pressure him, and conflicts and estrangements between the two parties emerged...
Not only that, An Miaoyi, who held Murong Shengwu's handle, also forced Murong Qingwu to deal with Jiang Yuyan. Murong Qingwu also saw An Miaoyi's careful thoughts, but because the second brother's handle was in An Miaoyi's hands, so There was no choice but to ask An Miaoyi to do the same.
With these two moves, An Miaoyi is not optimistic that Jiang Yuyan will completely turn against the Murong family, but their cooperation will definitely not be as harmonious as before.
Just as An Miaoyi was thinking, Qiqige spoke again and said:
"Madam, there is news from the Attendance Department that your Excellency is currently secretly inspecting some businessmen in Qilu!"
As soon as these words came out, An Miaoyi's interest was immediately aroused and she asked:
"Do you know what happened?"
Qiqige shook her head and said:
"My lord, this matter is left to the inner guards, and the attendants don't know much about it!"
An Miaoyi also started to think after hearing this. With Ye Mingsheng's character, he attaches great importance to matters handed over to the internal guards. Although he doesn't know what Ye Mingsheng wants to do, after thinking about it carefully, An Miaoyi Miao Yi believed that this matter must be related to the ticket number.
Although the Fengwu Army has strict supervision over the bank, and most of the money from the bank is either used to lend money to farmers or to build infrastructure, the rate of return itself is not high... ················
However, the transaction amount of the ticket account is hundreds of thousands of taels. Even if you don't eat such fat meat, it will leave some oily smell if you pass it. Not to mention the various hidden benefits brought by operating the ticket account, so after seeing After the success of Rishengchang Bank, large merchants all over the country are also eager to become the next Rishengchang.
In the past few months, big businesses from all over the country have been thinking about ways to get quotas to open ticket accounts. However, Ye Mingsheng has not delegated the final review power of ticket accounts, so these people can only do it. in a hurry.
However, based on An Miaoyi's understanding of Ye Mingsheng, she felt that Ye Mingsheng, who understood the effect of the ticket number policy from Jiang Yuyan's report, should gradually relax the approval of ticket numbers.
So now Ye Mingsheng asked the internal guards to review Qilu's big business, I'm afraid the matter is also related to this.
Thinking of this, An Miaoyi remembered an interesting thing. Jiang Yuyan spent a lot of effort to get Ye Mingsheng to allow Ri Shengchang to go to Qilu to develop the market. Most of his intention was to monopolize the Qilu market.
And now if Ye Mingsheng allows others to open a ticket account in Qilu, it would be a bit unkind to Jiang Yuyan!
However, An Miaoyi was happy to see the result. Thinking of this, she ordered Qiqige:
"Let them keep an eye on it! If you choose someone, please send a message immediately..."
"yes!"
································
································
Huainan, Jinghai
"Kill! Be loyal to Marshal Xu!"
"The commander-in-chief has ordered that the first person to climb the city wall will be promoted to the third level and rewarded with two silver coins! He will capture Jinghai and loot it for three days!"
"Brothers! Charge me!"
···········
···········
Amidst the chants, countless soldiers of the Zhennan Army, under the cover of firearms, carried ladders and rushed into the vehicle to launch a new round of charge.
On a heavily guarded watchtower in the Zhennan Army battle formation, a gloomy-looking Xu Zhaojie was holding a telescope to observe the attack on Jinghai County.
In the past two months or so, his plan has generally been progressing very smoothly. He has basically eliminated some opposition voices in Huainan, refused to accept the military forces north of the Huaihe River, and captured half of the land of Jingchu.
Although the plan was progressing very smoothly, there was one thing that Xu Zhaojie did not expect. This was that Cao Huan, who had fled to Jinghai County, turned out to be a traitor!
To be honest, after killing the old man of the Cao family, the stragglers of the Cao family did not pose much of a threat in Xu Zhaojie's eyes, so he boldly led the Zhennan Army into Jingchu.
At this time, Cao Huan, who fled to Jinghai, began to suffer hardships.
On the one hand, Cao Huan professed his loyalty to the Fengwu Army and expressed that the hatred for killing his father was irreconcilable. He, Cao Heng, would fight Xu Zhaojie to the end as long as he had breath left in his life.
Although the Fengwu Army's strategic focus is currently on Yunbin, hoping to defeat the Luo'an court, the Fengwu Army naturally does not want to let Xu Zhaojie continue to develop and grow... ······
Therefore, he was also happy to see Cao Huan restraining Xu Zhaojie in Jinghai, so he also asked the Coordination Office to provide Cao Huan with internal intelligence of the Zhennan Army.
When in contact with the Fengwu Army, Cao Huan also followed his father's instructions before his death and actively contacted Jiangnan. He even went to Jiangnan in person to meet with Governor Lu Jianchao, stated his interests to him, and expressed his willingness to block Zhennan at Jinghai. The army protects the pure land south of the Yangtze River.
Lu Jianchao was already worried about Xu Zhaojie's invasion of Jiangnan, so Cao Huan's move played into his heart, so he secretly provided Jinghai with a large amount of money, food and firearms.
After receiving intelligence from the Fengwu Army and obtaining money, food and firearms from Jiangnan, Cao Huan also grew rapidly in Jinghai. He soon expanded his troops to 20,000 and repelled the encirclement and suppression troops sent by Xu Zhaojie.
In this way, Cao Huan finally attracted Xu Zhaojie's attention. This time the Zhennan Army came out with all its elite troops. Xu Zhaojie personally led an army of 50,000 in order to completely pull out the nail in Jianghai.
Although Cao Huan defeated several encircling soldiers and horses, in Xu Zhaojie's heart, he still did not take Cao Huan seriously. In his eyes, Cao Huan was still the second son of the Cao family who had no ability and relied solely on his father's influence. Shi Zu is a complete and utter traitor!
So this time, Xu Zhaojie thought that the conquest of Jinghai was just a matter of searching for things. Counting the round trip time, it could be done in three to five days... ···
However, the reality gave Xu Zhaojie a merciless fight. As the saying goes, people should look at each other with admiration after three days of separation. The death of his father, Mr. Cao, made Cao Huanshi grow up a lot.
In order to one day be able to chop off Xu Zhaojie's head to avenge his father, Cao Huan did not waste a day during his stay in Jinghai, thinking about strengthening his strength all the time. Therefore, at the beginning of this confrontation, Cao Huan led Jing Haijun actually took some advantage.
However, Xu Zhaojie is Xu Zhaojie after all. Just when Cao Huan, who had taken advantage of him, became more confident and prepared to lead Jing Haijun to fight Xu Zhaojie to the death, Xu Zhaojie defeated Cao Huan with three strikes, five divided by two, and could only escape back to the city. The city was defended.
To tell the truth, the two sides set up a field battle. Xu Zhaojie had a hundred ways to defeat Jing Haijun. Cao Huan had to die however he wanted Cao Huan to die!
However, in the critical battle, even Xu Zhaojie did not have many options. He could only let the soldiers of the Zhennan Army under his command keep attacking.
Although Jinghai is only a county town, in the past few months, because it has been facing the threat of Zhennan Army all the time, Cao Huan also tried his best to strengthen the city defense. With his efforts, Jinghai City Defense has made great progress. promote·······················
And because of the funding from Jiangnan, the Jing Navy's firearms are more advanced than those of the Zhennan Army. Although it is not equipped with heavy artillery, it also has thousands of Weiyuan blunderbuss and dozens of improved Tiger Crouching Cannons. These firearms organized a firepower network, causing the Zhennan Army to pay huge casualties every step forward.
It was precisely because of these that Cao Huan made it possible for him to attack what Xu Zhaojie thought was an easy task. He had to attack Jinghai for ten days at the cost of more than 7,000 casualties, but he still could not completely capture Jinghai.
Looking at the situation on the wall of Jinghai City, the gloom in Xu Zhaojie's expression eased. Although the performance of Cao Huan and Jing Haijun far exceeded his expectations, it only ended there!
Although they have blocked the onslaught from their side in the past ten days, their consumption has been very high. Judging from the current siege situation, Jing Haijun is at the end of his strength. Even if they grit their teeth and survive today, There is absolutely no way he can survive tomorrow!
Thinking of this, Xu Zhaojie also began to think about what to do next. Recently, Xu Zhaojie has been ordering his men not to have military conflicts with the Fengwu Army... ···
Doing this does not mean that Xu Zhaojie is afraid of the Fengwu Army, but because Xu Zhaojie clearly recognizes the strength gap between the two sides!
When he was idle at home during the imperial tour of the south, and when he heard that Ye Mingsheng was developing better and better in Liaoyang, he was full of disdain. He thought that if he was sent out, he would definitely do better than Ye Mingsheng, and he would definitely become a leader. Overtaking in a corner and overturning Ye Mingsheng!
But the reality is that in the struggle with Fengwu Army, although he briefly gained the upper hand, the final outcome often ended with him being defeated miserably.
Now Ye Mingsheng doesn't even have to deal with him with all his strength. He only needs to send a partial force to make himself miserable. If it were other people, they would be crushed by this sense of powerlessness, but Xu Zhaojie didn't believe in this evil. In terms of personal ability, Ye Mingsheng is better than him.
Xu Zhaojie only believed that Ye Mingsheng was luckier than him, and had entered the game earlier and gained the upper hand. If he had come to the place that year and started to develop, he would have done better than Ye Mingsheng. He had even taken over Ye Mingsheng's business by this time. It is possible to make your own chamber pot from your head!
Although he will never be convinced by Ye Mingsheng, Xu Zhaojie still has to bow his head in the face of reality. He knows that once he makes a high profile and attracts the attention of Fengwu Army, his side will be completely finished. The current Zhennan Army cannot hold Fengwu Army at all. Wu Jun's thunder blow······························
Therefore, you must keep a low profile at this time and try not to conflict with Fengwu Army. It is best to let Fengwu Army ignore you!
As the saying goes, when the snipe and the clam quarrel, the fisherman will gain. When the two tigers of Fengwu Army and the Luo'an court compete, one will be injured. It is better for him to sit back and reap the benefits of the fisherman!
