Chapter 157 The Worthless Wang Xiaojie

"As long as we continue to capture Yangzhou, a large amount of supplies will be continuously transported to our base camp. This is a great victory."

After hearing this, Shanxian Youpeng calmed down a lot.

Indeed, although this plan is tragic, as long as they win Yangzhou, everything will be worth it.

Thinking of this, Shanxian Youpeng calmed down.

"Okay, in that case, let's spare the lives of those losers for the time being. Send the order, continue the attack, and strive to break through Yangzhou as soon as possible."

"Hi!"

……

Yangzhou.

Since the Japanese pirates attacked that day, the Yangzhou Navy has strengthened its defenses and has people on duty almost 24 hours a day.

Worried about another Japanese pirate attack, the people in Yangzhou City also became nervous.

And outside Yangzhou City, five thousand soldiers and horses were stationed.

After a day and a night, Hei Te Changzhi finally led his troops to Yangzhou City.

Above the Golden Palace, Wu Zetian had become angry more than once.

"It's unreasonable that mere Japanese pirates can attack our country again and again! The last time it was the Western Zhou Dynasty, this time it was Yangzhou, but what about the next time? Could it be Chang'an City?"

Listening to Wu Zetian's words, all the officials in the audience fell silent, and the Minister of War trembled and knelt on the ground: "I will die!"

"That's all, the Ministry of War is not to blame for this matter."

Wu Zetian sighed, and then ordered: "Remember Hei Chi Changzhi's achievements and let him be granted the title of Marquis!"

"Yes!"

All the civil servants looked at Hei Te Changzhi with envy.

They knew that Hei Te Changzhi's contribution was much greater than that achieved by Wang Xiaojie and others.

After all, this time the Japanese pirates were almost in full force, but Yangzhou only had a few thousand troops.

The difference between so many people is enough to prove the preciousness of this military merit.

"My minister agrees!"

"My minister agrees!"

Although Hei Te Changzhi is from Baekje, no one can deny his contribution this time. Therefore, when Wu Zetian proposed to grant Hei Te Changzhi the title of county boy, no one jumped out to object without a shrewd eye.

This also made Wu Zetian look much better.

She waved her hand and said calmly: "Since all the ministers have no objections, let's act in accordance with my will."

………………

In the Yamen of the Governor of Yangzhou, Chen Lin was sitting behind the papers.

Looking at the secret report placed on the table, his face darkened.

This was just delivered yesterday.

"Damn Japanese pirates." Chen Lin gritted his teeth and cursed in a low voice.

The Yangzhou Navy suffered a large number of attacks last night, and the cause of all this was those damned Japanese pirates.

This move by the Japanese pirates made Chen Lin hate the Japanese pirates deeply.

"Sir, Lord Black Teeth would like to see you." The guard walked into the hall and informed.

"Xuan!"

Soon, Hei Te Changzhi strode into the lobby.

"General Hei Te will see you, Lord Governor." Hei Te Changzhi saluted.

"Please trouble General Black Teeth more this time, otherwise once Yangzhou City is captured by Japanese pirates, the people will be in dire straits." Chen Lin expressed his sincere thanks.

Since the previous governor Li Jiang stepped down, Chen Lin has been elected to this position.As a direct descendant of the Mengjin Chen family, Chen Lin also had a profound background. However, before taking office, he was repeatedly told by the elders in his family not to mess with Wang Xiaojie.

Because this guy and that mad dog Yang Yanzhang are wearing the same pants.

Therefore, during this period, Chen Lin worked conscientiously in the governor's mansion every day, for fear that Wang Xiaojie would come to trouble him.

Unexpectedly, Wang Xiaojie not only did not come to trouble these days, but also tried his best when the Japanese pirates came to attack, buying precious time for the court's reinforcements.

Chen Lin was relieved. It seemed that Wang Xiaojie was not as difficult to get along with as rumored.

If Black Teeth never comes, he plans to wait to visit Wang Xiaojie.

"Mr. Chen's words are serious, this is what I should do." Hei Te Changzhi said respectfully.

"General Black Teeth, I heard that your parents and brothers all died under the swords of Japanese pirates. How pitiful you are." Chen Lin suddenly said.

Hearing this, Hei Te Changzhi's body shook violently and his eyes turned red.

Yes, when Heiji Changzhi was still in Baekje, a pirate attack caused Heiji Changzhi to lose his parents forever.

After a long time, Hei Te Changzhi slowly returned to normal, and then said: "Yes, my humble parents and clan members were all killed by those Japanese pirates."

"Oh, I have heard that you are the only one left in your family. It's a pity, but you don't need to be too sad. After all, people can't be resurrected." Chen Lin sighed, and then spoke up change:
"But since you have surrendered to the imperial court now, the imperial court should also help you defeat these Japanese pirates and avenge your parents."

"Your Majesty is kind and will certainly be willing to send troops to assist you."

"Thank you for your great kindness, Emperor." Hei Te Changzhi said excitedly.

"General Black Teeth, I still have official business to deal with, so I won't keep you here." Chen Lin said with a smile.

The next day, Chen Lin came to visit Wang Xiaojie at the Navy Admiral's house with gifts.

"How come Mr. Chen is interested in coming to my place for a drink today?" Wang Xiaojie was a little surprised.

Chen Lin smiled slightly and said: "I heard about Admiral Wang's deeds and admired him very much, so I specially prepared a little wine to calm the admiral's shock."

"Haha, I'll thank you in advance."

"Why are you so polite? I will rely on Admiral Wang to take care of Yangzhou affairs in the future."

Chen Lin's face was full of sincerity.

After chatting with Wang Xiaojie for a few words, Chen Lin saw a look of impatience on the other person's face and quickly left wisely.

Chen Lin frowned, and Wang Xiaojie immediately jumped like a rabbit looking for Yang Yanzhang.

"Yan Zhang, guess who I just met?"

"Who?"

"Chen Lin, the governor of Yangzhou!" Wang Xiaojie said hehey.

"Huh?" Yang Yanzhang raised his eyebrows: "Why is he looking for you?"

"Guess!" Wang Xiaojie chuckled and pretended to be secretive.

"Get out of here and stop talking nonsense with me." Yang Yanzhang rolled his eyes at Wang Xiaojie angrily.

Seeing that Yang Yanzhang was angry, Wang Xiaojie suddenly withered and became submissive.

After all, Yang Yanzhang is his cash cow now, and he cannot afford to offend him.

"Brother Yang, how is the perfume business you mentioned a few days ago going?"

Wang Xiaojie asked.

Yang Yanzhang chuckled and said, "Don't look at our current strength. With our current strength, we can completely monopolize half of Yangzhou's commodity market."

"So much? Then you can earn hundreds of taels of silver in one day!" Wang Xiaojie's eyes were full of stars.

Yang Yanzhang glanced at Wang Xiaojie with disdain, feeling like he was in a high place.

Then he stretched out two fingers towards Wang Xiaojie.

"One month, 2 taels of silver."
