Chapter 278: Junior Sister, I Willingly Serve You as the Darkest
In the end, Yang Kang only offered six or seven suggestions, letting them make their own choice, and then he took Guo Fu to the backyard to train her. This was his future daughter-in-law, and if he allowed Huang Rong to spoil her, his son would be miserable in the future. He couldn't let his son lose his arms and legs.
Hong Qigong is more inclined to the idea of fighting behind enemy lines as Yang Kang said, launching resistance in the Western Regions, Khwarezm and other places, organizing the Hu people to resist Mongolia, and making them fall into the vast ocean of the people's army. It was Mongolia that expanded its territory too much. A larger territory means that they have more enemies. Many of those defeated people must be resentful. Hong Qigong does not rule out this method.
Hong Qigong did not object, which had a lot to do with the fact that he had accompanied Yang Kang on a trip to Ryukyu and Luzon. However, Guo Jing disagreed. In his eyes, all the people were innocent, and innocent people from any place should not be dragged into the war for no reason.
In fact, Guo Jing really wanted to lead his troops directly to the grassland and have a head-on decisive battle with the Mongolian army. If he won, everything would be fine, and if he lost, it would be all over. However, Yang Kang wanted him to lead a group of bandits and horse thieves to burn, kill, loot and destroy on the grassland in order to consume Mongolia's vitality. This made Guo Jing, who had lived on the Mongolian grassland since he was a child, very unhappy, and he almost fought with Yang Kang.
Guo Jing's thoughts are very simple and naive. Unlike the pragmatic Yang Kang, Guo Jing has always been an idealist. He has his own persistence and is willing to die for it. Yang Kang admires and is troubled by this, but he wishes to stay away from him. He really can't deal with such a person.
He may become a hero, but the price he pays is too high. The people around him are destined to have a bad end because of him, unless they are very self-centered elders who can escape in time, like the Old Boy and Yinggu, who are the most typical representatives. It is impossible for them to choose to be buried with Xiangyang.
Yang Kang lay flat on the soft mat, gazing at the sky. He stretched out his fingers to tease little Guo Fu, who was lying on his belly, kicking her legs up and down. He shook the candy in his other hand and said with a smile, "This is the fruit candy I brought back from Luzon. If you want some, just repeat to me that Guo Jing is a big fool, and I'll give it to you."
Guo Fu twisted Yang Kang's hand hard, and called out in a childish voice, "Big idiot, big idiot."
"Okay, I'll call him Guo Jing and you call him Big Idiot." Yang Kang stuffed the candy in his hand into Guo Fu's mouth. The girl rolled over and lay on his chest, kicking her legs hard, hitting his belly with a banging sound, and she was having a lot of fun.
Yang Kang called out "Guo Jing" here, and little Guo Fu called out "big idiot" there, and at the same time did not forget to reach out for candy. Huang Rong, who wanted to take her daughter back, and Guo Jing, who almost fought with Yang Kang because he was too excited and wanted to apologize, could not help but laugh and cry when they saw their childish behavior. Especially Guo Jing, his face couldn't help but get hot when he heard his daughter calling him a big idiot.
The next morning, Hong Qigong and Guo Jing said goodbye together. They wanted to go to Xiangyang to investigate the situation there, go deep into the people to see their situation and listen to their ideas, and then go to Henan and Shanxi. If possible, they even wanted to go to Shandong to learn from others, so that they could truly withstand the invasion of the Mongolian army.
According to Yang Kang's suggestion, Huang Yaoshi planned to go upstream along the Yangtze River to its source, and then go downstream into the sea to comprehend his martial arts. Huang Rong stayed in Zhoushan to familiarize herself with the operation of Zhoushan and see if there was any more profitable business suitable for them. Brother Jing was guarding Xiangyang, and no matter which path he chose, it would be very expensive in the end.
Guo Jing is no longer the Mongolian prince consort, and Huang Yaoshi is no longer a wealthy man. Defending Xiangyang requires years of dedication, and the Beggars' Sect cannot provide them with much financial support. How long can they sustain it by relying solely on Huang Yaoshi selling his accumulated antique calligraphy and paintings?
Lu Chengfeng was willing to help, but he had a family to support. In the end, Huang Rong decided to make money from Yang Kang. She had hundreds of thousands of disciples of the Beggar Gang and the Taihu Lake bandits under Lu Chengfeng and Lu Guanying, so she could definitely sell them for a good price.
Lu Chengfeng brought his son to visit his master and junior sister. Although his master didn't see him, he was still very happy when he knew that he could serve his junior sister. He also told Huang Rong that in addition to himself, Feng Mofeng was also working under Yang Kang, and was the leader of the blacksmiths in the Goryeo Iron Mine. He could provide weapons and equipment for Xiangyang, and there were people inside who could get discounts, and the discounts were very large.
Huang Rong rested her chin on her hand, pondering. Senior Brother Feng Mofeng was crafting weapons and equipment in Goryeo, while she was in charge in Zhoushan and Senior Brother Lu Chengfeng was providing support in Taihu Lake. Was she still short of an informant in Shandong? Should she ask her master to officially accept Sister Mu Nianci as a disciple, and then help her get some goodies out of that bastard Yang Kang?
Discount? Senior Brother Feng Mofeng is just a blacksmith leader. How much control can he have? How much convenience can he have for himself?
It seems that I need to work harder tonight and try to get a few more promises from Yang Kang. That bastard is also a greedy person. He actually took his troops to experiment with some weapons on the sea and will not be back until tonight. Moreover, he has been away for a year and now he must want to go back to Shandong immediately. If I hadn't held him back, this bastard would have left long ago.
"Senior Brother Lu, if you go directly to Yang Kang and become the commander of his navy, he shouldn't refuse, right?" Huang Rong asked tentatively.
Lu Chengfeng shook his hand and pulled out a few strands of his beard. He said distressedly, "Junior Sister, King Qi has many talented people under his command. The sea is not like rivers and lakes. I estimate that even if your senior brother really joins his army, he can only be a small leader in the Yangtze River or Taihu Lake. It is not that easy to become a naval commander."
"Hmph, senior brother is my father's direct disciple, full of talent, outstanding ability and extraordinary martial arts. If he dares to use you lightly, I will let my father find him and argue with him. Senior brother, when you become the commander of the navy under the command of King Qi, remember to transport more ships of weapons and equipment to Xiangyang every year." Lu Chengfeng couldn't help but frown after hearing what Huang Rong said. "Junior sister, you want Junior Brother Feng Mofeng to make weapons and I will transport them to Xiangyang, and you don't intend to pay a penny."
Hei, Junior Sister, I have to say, compared to Master and Senior Hong Qigong, you are the most ruthless one. When it comes to dealing with King Qi Yang Kang and extracting benefits from him, I would like to regard you as the most ruthless!
