Chapter 627 Xie An
"If Nanchen is also destroyed in my hands, three of the four southern dynasties in the Southern and Northern Dynasties era will be destroyed by me..."

Wang Jing suddenly thought of this.

Among the four dynasties in the south, Liu Song's martial arts was the most prosperous, and Xiao Liang's martial arts was good. As for Nan Qi and Nan Chen, each was worse than the other.

If Emperor Zhou Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty had not died early, the great cause of unifying the north and the south would never have been delayed until the Sui Dynasty.

"Our army is about to confront the Ming army, and famous ministers such as Xie An and Xie Xuan will vote, and they have created an excellent strategic opportunity for our army. It can be seen that the king's destiny has been manifested!"

Gao Yan said respectfully.

"Destiny!"

Wang Jing smiled.

Destiny is also man-made, if he hadn't seized the opportunity to destroy Soochow and Liu Song one after another, occupying the fertile land east of Jiangnan, Xie An would not have defected to him.

Of course, after defeating Liu Song and Liu Yu's downfall, Wang Jing did find himself somewhat smooth sailing.

Luck is like a tide, constantly surging.

"Zhaoxuan, you go back to Yangzhou first, ask the Ministry of Industry to expand the Guiyan Palace, and lead people to practice etiquette... This is very important, you have to do it with your heart!"

Wang Jing said.

Hearing the words, Gao Yan quickly knelt down on the ground and said respectfully, "I understand!"

While speaking, Gao Yan was emotionally agitated. The king asked himself to preside over the expansion of the palace and practice etiquette. This is to prepare for the founding of the country and proclaiming the emperor.

The so-called three words and three concessions are just for outsiders to see.

The confidant who truly belongs to the monarch has long known the intention and decision of his master.

To be entrusted by the king with such a big event means that he has become a confidant of the king, and in the future court, he can be at the forefront.

In addition to building palaces and practicing etiquette.

When Gao Yan returned to Yangzhou, he also intended to go to the town temporarily.

Now that Su Wei has been transferred to the south of the Yangtze River by Wang Jing, Yang Kan is the only military commander left in Yangzhou. Government affairs in various places and matters in the direction of Lujiang need someone to preside over them.

Especially Xie Xuan in the direction of the Lujiang River is very important for whether the Huai Army can outflank Jinling in the future.

Only an important minister like Gao Yan presided over it personally, so that no mistakes can be made.

It's urgent.

Gao Yan soon left Jiangyin.

And Wang Jing will stay in Jiangyin for a few more days, waiting for Chenjun Xie to arrive and prepare to meet Xie An in person.

……

In the countryside.

Hundreds of people sat on several cloud chariots, and under the escort of three hundred Huai army cavalry, they galloped towards Jiangyin.

Xie An and his eldest son Xie Yao sat in one of the cloud cars.

They leaned against the car window and looked out. They could see the traces of the war in the border of Jiangyin, but there were already pedestrians on the road.

"King Huai was able to defeat Liu Song in more than ten days, it is really unexpected!"

"There is also the Lord of Qi, Xiao Daocheng, who unexpectedly joined Duke Huai so easily. Until now, it still shocks the child... I don't know how wise and powerful Duke Huai can make Xiao Daocheng surrender without a fight!"

Xie Yao sighed in a low voice.

Xie An's expression remained unmoved, and he said calmly, "Master Qi is a smart man with great wisdom! Not everyone can find out the power and wealth, and even more can abandon it with great determination!"

"The vassals in the south of the Yangtze River are fighting for the front. Lord Qi has no famous generals under his command, and besides Chu Yuan, he has no talents under his command. How can he compete with other vassals in such a situation?"

"Being able to defect to King Huai ahead of time has made great contributions to King Huai's going south. Although this Lord Qi no longer holds great power, as long as King Huai does not fall, he can enjoy wealth and continue his clan. Doing so is no worse than ruining the country and family. , what will happen to the scattered clans?"

Xie Yao thought for a while and said, "Father taught me that it's the child's wrong thinking!"

While chatting.

Yunche quickly approached Jiangyin City.

Xie An and the members of the Xie clan got off the cloud chariot, and immediately saw the tall and majestic city not far away. He looked at the cloud chariot again, and he admired Duke Huai even more in his heart.

It is said that the cloud car was first developed under the order of King Huai.

Up to now, cloud chariots have spread among princes in various parts of the south of the Yangtze River. Before that, there were also cloud chariots in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, but most of the cloud chariots in the Eastern Jin Dynasty were built by aristocratic families with a lot of money.

The purpose is to go out for an outing.

However, very few of them are actually used in the military.

When he arrived at the territory controlled by the Huai Army, Xie An found that the popularity rate of cloud cars in the Huai Army was very high, and the speed was extremely fast.There are hundreds of people in their family, and they came to Jiangyin from the border of Yixing in just one day.

It can be called more than a thousand miles a day.

"Father, look..."

Xie Yao approached slightly, and pointed to the north in shock.

The city gate to the west of Jiangyin, where they are located, faces the mighty and endless river. Everyone can hear the roar of waves coming from afar. Scholars with strong spiritual power like Xie An and Xie Yao can feel it even more. The water vapor in the void is like rippling waves.

Xie An looked from a distance.

On the big river, there are more than a dozen behemoths. In the river water, they look like ferocious giant beasts.Can tear all enemies apart.

These behemoths are the five-tooth warships that have been retrofitted.

During the Huai Army's southern expedition, the five-toothed warship that was thought to be of great use ended up serving only as a troop carrier. The navy only fought against the Soochow Navy once in the river north of Changshu.

In addition, it is to continuously transport troops and food, and do some auxiliary chores.

This made many navy soldiers who wanted to make meritorious deeds very aggrieved.

Admiral Lin Renzhao took advantage of this time to personally communicate with the shipbuilders of the construction department to improve the already very powerful five-toothed ship.

The improved five-tooth warship has the ability to imprison the vitality fluctuations of the surrounding world.

It can greatly reduce the damage caused by the bombardment of warships by ninth-level generals.The defense power is greatly enhanced.

Based on this alone, the combat effectiveness of the five-tooth warship can be increased by two or three times.It is no longer a target for the ninth-rank generals to stare at.

"What a ferocious warship!"

Xie An's mental power is at the forefront of the current Shenzhou world, and with a single thought, he can sense the fluctuations from the five-fanged ship in the distance.

After seeing these dozens of five-toothed ships, his expression was moved.

What is the most important thing for a sailor?Admirals, well-trained sailors, and warships are all indispensable.

When the Eastern Jin Dynasty faced the Ming army, it was restrained from the beginning.

The connection between the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the border of Lujiang was blocked by the navy of the Ming army. As a result, Xie Xuan, the number one general of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, could only stay in Jiangbei, and could not return until the Eastern Jin Dynasty fell.

The navy of the Huai army is several times stronger than that of the Ming army.

Xie An could already foresee that when the Huai army faced the Ming army in the future, the warships of the Huai army's navy would cut through the waves and enter Jinling.

At this time.

The sound of drums and music sounded outside the gate of Jiangyin City.

Wang Jing, Xiao Daocheng, Chu Yuan, and Xie Hui and Cen Wenwen who came from other places came out of the city to meet them...
