Chapter 725 Secret Letter(2/2)
…………
…………
After leaving the prison where Wang Wenqian and Yin Peng were imprisoned, Shen Yang and the others walked into the prison next door.
The prison has long been cleared of other prisoners and is currently used exclusively to detain Han Wenhuan, Han Daoming, Feng Yi, Chen Jingzhou, Yun Puzi and their sons Chen Yuanchen, Chen Jixian and others.
Watching Shen Yang, Yang Zhitang and others walk in, Feng Yi stood behind the gate and said: "Prince Shou used Aoshan Island as a mortgage to borrow 1.2 million yuan of money and grain from the Xuzhou Official Money Bureau, and agreed to pay it every month. If you default on the interest on Aoshan Island, Tangyi will take it yourself. Lord Shou has defaulted on paying the interest for half a year. Tangyi's naval army attacked Aoshan Island this time to get back the interest money as agreed. Lord Shou, you are really doing something wrong now. Authentic?"
It was clearly Liang Jun's navy who was the master of provocations, but Feng Yi kept saying that he had breached the contract first. Yang Zhitang's temples jumped suddenly, and he wanted to kick him off.
Feng Yicai didn't care how ugly Yang Zhitang's face was, and said to himself: "Don't talk about you, Prince Shou. Prince Xin has been in arrears with the government interest bureau for half a year. Paying back debts is a matter of course. Next, my family Your Majesty sends troops into Chuzhou to collect debts, Prince Shou, you should be more patient!"
"Do you really want to use troops in Huaidong instead of sending troops to invade Xiangbei and capture Huangzhou?" Yang Zhitang laughed angrily and asked coldly.
"Master Zheng and my superior are in harmony. There is no reason for my superior to send troops to seize Huangzhou," Feng Yi shook his head like a rattle and said, "Prince Shou, you are too worried..."
Yang Zhitang ignored Feng Yi's rogue look, looked at Han Wenhuan and Han Daoming who were sitting on the floor in the next cell, and asked coldly: "Mr. Han, do you really want to use your head on your neck to make Han Qian's name of unfaithful and unfilial? ?”
"I'm already eighty-six this year, and Daoming is already sixty. Is it possible that he can't even tell the difference between life and death?" With Han Daoming's help, Han Wenhuan struggled to stand up, walked to the gate of the cell, and said , "Since you all have seen through Qian'er's plan, I have nothing to hide - over the years, whether Qian'er likes to take the wrong approach or not, has he ever owed you anything? You can all pat your chests. Say, you are selfless to Da Chu, and your sacrifices and contributions to Da Chu are comparable to Qian'er? If you are really willing to see the real traitor succeed and lose the advantage of the fishermen, I can lend you my head on my neck... "
"What kind of peace negotiation conditions does Han Qian need?" Zheng Chang asked in a deep voice.
"Master Zheng..." Seeing that Zheng Chang could not hold back his temper and showed weakness at this time, Yang Zhitang shouted in a long and frightened voice.
"Han Qianchan succeeded to the position of leader of the Liang Kingdom, not because of treason and surrender to the enemy, but because he had to stand up and turn the tide and resist the Hulu - and after Han Qianchan succeeded, he sent an envoy to express his vassalage. He is still loyal to Dachu, and we can't delay it.
It was because of this that the disaster on Aoshan Island occurred, and the blame cannot be placed on Han Qian." Zheng Chang said in a calm and deep voice.
Zheng Chang took the initiative to speak so much to Wang Wenqian just now. Zhang Xian and Xue Ruogu realized that the attitude of the Zheng family might have changed, but they did not expect that Zheng Chang would switch sides so simply and neatly at this time.
Zhou Qinian also slapped his forehead in pain.
Zheng Chang's words are really understandable. If Liang and Chu finally break up completely, in order to protect Huangzhou's foundation, even if the Zheng family will not directly surrender to Liang Jun, they will choose neutrality - obviously Zheng Yu and Zheng Chang have already resigned from Tang.
When the Yishui Army raided Aoshan Island, Han Qian decided to send troops to seize Jingxiang after seeing that peace could not be reached before September.
"What benefits did Han Qian give you to the Zheng family?" Yang Zhitang asked angrily.
"Prince Shou, my clan brother and Zheng Chang are loyal to Chu and are determined not to change. How can they change their minds for the mere benefits promised by Han Qian? However, the conflict between Liang and Chu has resulted in the fishermen benefiting, which is not what the clan brother and Zheng Chang want.
," Zheng Chang bowed indifferently and said, "Xiang Shen and Marquis Yang know best the aspirations of clan brother and Zheng Chang..."
Shen Yang and Yang En both sighed. In fact, in March, although Zheng Yu and Zheng Chang did not publicly express their opinions, when they exchanged opinions in private, they all agreed to directly send troops to Huaixi at that time.
At this time, the Youlongque Army was unable to obtain the supply of anti-miasma wine. Not to mention the spread of epidemics in Xijiang, Liang Chu was really going to break up. It was destined that Huangzhou, the foundation of the Zheng family, would be the first to be involved in the war, and the Zheng family could not help it.
The trend has changed.
However, in March, it was Yang Zhitang who was the most firmly opposed to directly sending troops to Huaixi and insisted on watching the development of the war in Heluo before making a decision.
The reason is also very simple. In March and April, troops will be sent directly to Huaixi. Youlong Wujun is destined to be the first batch to enter Huaixi. Yang Zhitang is reluctant to spend all his hard work accumulated over the years to compete with the elites of Tangyi.
Each family has its own plans, and as a result of today's situation, the Zheng family has become a grassroots first, but why?
Yang Zhitang was filled with anger and could not vent it no matter what. He said angrily: "Mr. Zheng really wants to help the tyrants, and I, Yang Zhitang, may not be able to stop him. I will go see the two empress dowagers right now and ask the two empress dowagers to settle everything..."
To put it bluntly, Yang Zhitang still wanted to force the Empress Dowager Chang Xin and Ming Cheng to express her position first. However, she used force to force the Zheng family to bow. Zheng Hui was leading the Youlongque Army on an expedition to Lingnan. He relied on Hunan for food and fodder. He did not believe that the Zheng family dared to pat their butts and directly invest in the army.
