Heaven's Martial Fate

Chapter 147 Relying on others is worse than relying on yourself
Weihaiwei, Beiyang Navy naval port camp.

"My lord, there's news from Senior Brother Wu that just now they have caught a few more spies who have been young for a while!"

"How many more spies have you caught?"

Admiral Ding looked displeased, and said in a deep voice, "Is it true?"

"It's true, this subordinate has sent someone over to verify it before!"

The officer who reported hurriedly explained: "The confirmation is correct, and the person has been tied with stones and thrown into the sea right now!"

"It's ruthless enough to act over there!"

Admiral Ding pondered: "What's going on these days, don't you think about it?"

"Senior Brother Wu sent word that the young days will take risks!"

The messenger officer looked relaxed and said disapprovingly, "Tell us to be more careful!"

"This guy is just too cautious!"

Admiral Ding chuckled, shook his head and said, "Turn around, thank him for me!"

"As for the little days, he doesn't care about it, it will be dealt with by the court!"

"If he has the heart, give us more cotton cloth, that's better than anything else!"

The reporting officer quickly nodded in response. Seeing that Admiral Ding had no other orders, he immediately took his leave and left without daring to disturb him any longer.

In this way, Wu Dong's reminder again was still directly ignored by the senior management of the Beiyang Navy.

Fortunately, he was not present, otherwise he would have to make a serious note.

If the Beiyang navy did not attract enough attention, it would certainly not get rid of the fate of the two major bases in history, Lushun and Weihaiwei navy.

To be honest, even if several naval battles were defeated, the blow to the Beiyang Navy would not be that serious.

After all, there are still many warships left behind in the three major naval bases of Lushun, Weihaiwei, and Dagukou. As long as they are prepared, they can still fight.

Even if they can't do it in the end, it won't be so miserable that the whole army will be wiped out.

It's just a pity that they ignored Wu Dong's reminder.

On the other side, at the Yuanshun Escort Bureau in Beijing, Wang Wu, who had just returned to the capital, received a letter from Ludi.

After reading the contents of the letter, Wang Wu burned the letter paper with a heavy face, and walked back and forth in the room full of thoughts, feeling a little at a loss for a while.

In the past few years, Yuanshun Escort Bureau has developed well, and Wang Wu's reputation has become even louder.

Of course, the biggest change is that Yuanshun Escort has opened up a new business and has become a newly rising cotton cloth supplier in the entire capital area.

Because of the continuous supply of cotton cloth from Ludi, it forcibly occupied a small piece of land in the cloth market in the capital.

Even so, Yuanshun Escort's income has also risen, and the life of ups and downs is extremely nourishing.

As the head of the escort, Wang Wu also has the confidence to refuse some escort business that he doesn't like very much, quite relaxed.

These changes are naturally inseparable from his relationship with Wu Dong, the elder brother of Ludi Dharma Altar.

The cotton cloth from Ludi is provided by the cloth factory under Wu Dashixiong.

With a close relationship of interests, the relationship between the two is even closer.

Every year, Wang Wu would personally go to the Jiao'ao area of ​​Ludi to live there for a period of time, and had frequent exchanges with Wu Dong.

Wu Dong, I only exchanged some judgments about the situation with him last year, but I didn't expect that these judgments were basically fulfilled, and Wang Wu was shocked for a while.

However, every time he thinks of some of Wu Dong's conjectures, Wang Wu feels not so refreshed, and even a little resentful.

Is the imperial court blind, can't see the wolfish ambitions of the little days?
Most of Yuanshun Escort's entrusted dart business is outside the customs, and Wang Wu's personal connections outside the customs are not usually strong.

As long as you have the heart, you can easily inquire about some imperceptible information.

But this information just proved the accuracy of some of Wu Dong's guesses.

Recently, there has been a lot of trouble in Korea.

In order to fight for power and profit, the top leaders of Goryeo are almost losing their minds.

All this information was obtained through his friends outside the pass.

If there is chaos in Goryeo, the neighboring areas outside the customs will naturally not have a peaceful life.

If according to Wu Dong's guess, Xiaotian might take the opportunity to invade, then the situation would not be so good.

How could Wang Wu not know what the Qing army stationed outside the pass was like, they were just a bunch of soldiers.

One is not good, as long as the small-time army dares to fight hard, the Qing army outside the pass is likely to collapse directly, and the consequences will be disastrous.

Although these are just simple sand table deduction, no matter how Wang Wu thinks, he feels that this matter is likely to become a reality.

This made Wang Wu very upset. He knew that something might happen to Gao Li and outside the customs, but he didn't dare to speak out, and it was really uncomfortable to hold back.

Fortunately, Wu Dong told him that when he is not optimistic about the court, he can only rely on his own ability to make some efforts and arrangements.

Among other things, even if the worst happens, the intruder cannot be made easy, it's as simple as that.

Even, Wu Dong assigned tasks to Wang Wu in advance.

It is to rely on his name to vigorously make friends with heroes and horse bandits outside the customs, hoping to be useful at critical moments.

Unexpectedly, Wu Dong asked him to come forward in person, and the letter to sit outside the pass was delivered suddenly.

In other words, the information that Wu Dong speculated before is likely to be the worst.

Every time he thinks of this, Wang Wu feels resentment against the court, which is too bad.

I was suffocating in my heart, and my emotions were not very good for the next few days.

However, he still made a quick decision and stayed outside the customs for a year. In addition, he wrote letters to many familiar friends of Kansai swordsmen, inviting them to go there together.
The specific reason will naturally not be disclosed, but he said that he needs the help of his friends.

It has to be said that Dasao Wang Wu's contacts and friends are quite powerful. Even if the situation is not clear, there are still a lot of Kansai swordsman friends who rush out of the pass without saying a word.

When Wang Wu settled down in the farm outside the pass, dozens of swordsman friends had already followed him.

In other words, in the Lushun military port area, Wu Dong was also arranged early.

Just like Zhuangzi in the model of Jiaoao Boxer Farm, there are six buildings around Lushun Military Port.

However, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, they are not called Boxer Farms, but ordinary Zhuangzi.

This is outside the customs, there are not a few villages unique to the nobles of the banner, there are a few more farms, and they are still established in the wilderness, which have not attracted the attention of outsiders at all.

After the Great Sword King Wu left the pass, he settled in one of the Zhuangzi.

A group of his swordsman friends also lived temporarily in Zhuangzi.

When I got here, the swordsman friend who came here without hesitation because of his letter was a brother who could really trust his back.

He wasn't hypocritical either, so he told his swordsman friends about the possible invasion of Xiaotian.

"When you live here for a while, you will know how bad the Qing army outside the pass is, and you don't need to count on them at all!"

"Actually, with our little manpower, it is nothing compared to thousands of troops, but I am very unwilling!"

"It's fine if the little days don't come. If it really comes, the knife in our brother's hand is not a vegetarian!"

"Of course, I don't want the brothers to fight against Zheng alone. This is a very irrational behavior!"

"With our martial arts and riding skills, can we play game at all, as long as we can create unhappiness and trouble for the little life!"

Some impassioned words made the blood of the Kansai swordsmen who came here excited, and they all expressed their support for Wang Wu's decision.

If things were really as Wang Wu said, they would naturally not stand idly by.

Even if Wang Wu's guess is wrong, he should just come here for a tour of the mountains and rivers.

Wang Wu was so moved that he lived peacefully on the farm outside the pass.

In a few days, the farm sent people to send Wang Wu to the offshore sea ship, and arrived at Jiao'ao wharf directly from Lushun.

During this period, no matter whether it was the Qing army navy in Lushun military port or the Qing army navy in Weihaiwei military port, they turned a blind eye to the sea ship he was on.

In addition to lamenting how quickly the Qing army's navy degenerated, he was also secretly shocked by the depth of Wu Dong's penetration of the Beiyang navy.

Just to save face, such a situation will not happen.

When he got on the pier, the city of Jiao'ao that Wang Wu saw before his eyes was very different from the last time he came.

Due to the establishment of steam textile factories, steam peanut oil factories and other factories, their products were quickly exported to Beijing and other northern regions, attracting homeless people to come to work one after another.

With a large population and a little extra money after working, it is difficult for Jiao'ao City to develop rapidly.

Naturally, Wu Dong would not let it develop in an orderly manner. The layout of the city was planned early on. The main roads are straight and clean, giving people a different feeling.

There were people coming and going on the street, and many public service facilities had appeared, which made Wang Wu dazzled for a while and was not surprised.

"This Jiao'ao City is really good!"

Wang Wu couldn't help sighing, what he was referring to was right, it wasn't a scene of thriving business and people coming and going.

After all, the development time is too short. Compared with those century-old or even thousand-year-old cities, the background is not a little bit worse, and the development level of the city is also very different.

What he meant was that the energy of the pedestrians here was completely different from other places, and Wang Wu was shocked by the vigor and vitality of looking forward to the future.

Wu Dong naturally understood what he heard, and said with a leisurely smile: "Here, there are no messy government servants and local snake forces outside, and the people don't need to be exploited and suppressed!"

"As long as you work hard, you don't necessarily have to be rich and prosperous, but it's no problem to fill your stomach. With the intentional guidance from the Dharma Altar, you can have this kind of weather!"

"It's not easy!"

Wang Wu has traveled all over the world for many years, and what he sees most is the kind of miserable situation where he can't even fill his stomach after working hard.

In contrast, the urban area of ​​Jiao'ao under Wu Dong's control is already rare.

"Brother Wang, there has been chaos in Korea. The situation is very bad. You have to be prepared!"

Just when he came to the temporary office, before his butt fell down, Wu Dong announced a shocking news...
