Chapter 931 Blacklist
America District, Liberty City.
When Jack learned that Daxia had signed the "Trans-Mediterranean Trade Partnership Agreement" with the Mediterranean, he couldn't help admiring: "Good means, great courage, and good heart!"
Jack became more and more interested in this opponent.
*************
On August 12th, Shanhai City.
The trade agreement was successfully signed, the negotiating team is about to return, and a great event is also ushering in Shanhai City.
"Queen Da Xia is pregnant!"
As soon as the news came out, there was a sensation in the court, and all officials congratulated.
When Song Tianxiong got the news, he laughed three times happily, feeling extremely happy.
The king has an heir, the country is expected to continue, and the people's hearts are stable. Ouyang Shuo issued an edict that the queen is pregnant, the whole world celebrates, and amnesty the world to show the emperor's favor.
In this way, the whole country celebrates together, and the emperor's grace is mighty.
…………
On this festive day, two generals from the Sui and Tang Dynasties defected to the Great Xia Dynasty. These two people are none other than Shan Xiongxin and Wang Bodang, two Wagang heroes.
Summer Palace, Hall of Martial Arts.
After verifying their identity and registering them, Du Ruhui, Minister of Military Affairs, led the two of them to a formal meeting.
Right now, the Great Xia Army is urgently needing to recruit a group of mid-level generals. After hearing the news, Ouyang Shuo decided to meet him in person. If not, it would be appropriate to directly hand it over to the Privy Council for arrangement.
"The last general Shan Xiongxin, pay homage to the king!"
"The last general, Uncle Wang, pays homage to the king!"
In the main hall, two Wagang heroes saluted at the same time.
Ouyang Shuo sat on the throne, looked down, and looked at the two people in the hall.
Shan Xiongxin, who appeared in the wilderness, was a middle-aged man with small eyes, a short beard, and a righteous face. He didn't look like a general, but more like a hero.
Shan Xiongxin is very brave and good at using horses. He has a friendly relationship with Xu Shiji in Tongjun and vows to live and die together.
At the end of the Sui Dynasty, Shan Xiongxin and Xu Shiji joined Zhai Rang's Wagang Rebel Army to fight against the Sui Dynasty. After Zhai Rang was killed, during the Yanshi battle between Li Mi and Wang Shichong, Shan Xiongxin surrendered to Wang Shichong, and Xu Shiji defected to Li Tang.
In the third year of Wude, Li Shimin led the army to attack Luoyang, Shan Xiongxin led the army to fight, and charged Li Shimin with guns and horses. Xu Shiji appeared to stop Shan Xiongxin, and Shan Xiongxin retreated.
In May of the same year, Wang Shichong was defeated by Li Shimin and his army surrendered. Li Yuan ordered Shan Xiongxin and other generals to be executed. Xu Shiji pleaded with Li Shimin, hoping to save Shan Xiongxin from death, but was rejected.
In prison, Shan Xiongxin comforted Xu Shiji and said, "It's okay, I know I will die."
Xu Shiji said: "Loyalty and righteousness are hard to come by. I will take care of your family after you die." As he spoke, he cut off a piece of his own meat and gave it to Shan Xiongxin to show that he hadn't forgotten his original vow.
After Shan Xiongxin ate it, he went to die generously.
The official history "Old Tang Book" said that Shan Xiongxin was a brave general, but in the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, the image of Shan Xiongxin was gradually ugly in dramas, which was despised by others.
Interestingly, Shan Xiongxin was killed by Li Yuan. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, Shan Xiongxin's eleventh generation Sun Danxing, Shan Wang, Shan Mao, and Shan Sheng joined the Huang Chao Uprising, known as the "Four Heroes of the Huang Army".
It can be said that tit for tat is not happy with retribution.

...
Wang Bodang stood beside Shan Xiongxin, with long hair and two small braids, very exotic style, a mustache, and a pair of piercing eyes, as if he was hiding something on his mind.
This person's real name is Wang Yong, style name Bodang, a native of Yitang, Hejin, Shanxi, a general in Wagang Village, Li Mi's student, and defected to Wagang Village with Li Mi, and became Li Mi's confidant.
Li Mi and Wang Shichong fought in Yanshi and ordered Wang Bodang to guard Jinyong City, the rear base.
Soon after Li Mi was defeated, Wang Bodang also abandoned Jinyong City to meet Li Mi. Li Mi decided to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, and Wang Bodang expressed his willingness to follow him to the death.
After falling to the Tang Dynasty, Li Mi decided to rebel because he was not reused by Li Yuan.
Unable to persuade Wang Bodang, he decided to live and die with Li Mi. After Li Mi attacked Taolin County, he wanted to join Zhang Shanxiang, but was ambushed by Tang General Sheng Yanshi on the way, and both Li Mi and Wang Bodang died.
【Name】: Wang Bodang (Wang class)
【Dynasty】: Sui Dynasty
[Identity]: General of the Great Xia Dynasty
[Occupation]: Senior General
[Loyalty]: 60 points
[Commander]: 70 [Force]: 75 [Intelligence]: 58 [Politics]: 45
[Speciality]: Riding and shooting (increase the attack power of archers by 20%, and increase the marching speed by 20%)
[Cultivation method]: None
[Equipment]: Nameless Bow
[Evaluation]: A loyal man with unparalleled archery skills.
Some people commented that Wang Bodang was a loyal man, while others said that Wang Bodang was foolish and loyal. He chose an unreliable master like Li Mi and didn't know how to adapt to changes like Qin Qiong and others.
Ouyang Shuo looked at the two people in the hall, his heart was also full of doubts.
Wang Bodang took the initiative to vote, but the value of [loyalty] just passed, which is really strange. Ouyang Shuo couldn't help asking, if Wang Bodang appeared in the wilderness, where is Li Mi?
Li Mi was born in a family of four generations and three lords. When the world was in chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, he became the leader of the Wagang Army, known as Wei Gong. He led the Wagang Army to defeat the Sui Army repeatedly, and his power shook the world.
Because Li Mi killed Zhai Rang, the former leader of the Wagang Army, which caused internal instability, he was repeatedly defeated by the Sui Army. Later, he was recruited by Yue Wang Yang Tong, and because of heavy losses in the fight with Yu Wenhuaji, he was soon defeated by Wang Shichong, and led the remaining troops to surrender to Li Tang. Not long after, he rebelled against Tang Zili and was beheaded by Tang general Sheng Yanshi in Xiong'er Mountain.
It can be said that Li Mi is a traitor.
It's embarrassing that such a character is followed by a hero like Wang Bodang to the death.
Although he had doubts in his heart, Ouyang Shuo remained calm.
After seeing the two of them, he negotiated with Du Ruhui and determined their whereabouts.
Tiao Dan Xiongxin entered the Somali Corps as the division commander, enriching the generals of the Somali Corps. Wang Bodang was placed in the Second Army Corps of the City Guards and served as division commander under Mu Guiying.
Wang Bodang behaved suspiciously, that's why Ouyang Shuo wanted to put this person under his nose, but he wanted to see what kind of tricks Li Mi was going to play.
As for the transfer of Shan Xiongxin to the Somali Corps, it was Ouyang Shuo's painstaking effort to let Shan Xiongxin get out of this whirlpool and not get involved with this matter.
In principle, Ouyang Shuo still admires Shan Xiongxin and other strong generals. Furthermore, Shan Xiongxin also involved Xu Shiji, which made Ouyang Shuo's heart flutter even more.
Ouyang Shuo keenly sensed that Shan Xiongxin breathed a sigh of relief when he learned that he was assigned to the Overseas Corps, which confirmed Ouyang Shuo's guess.
Shan Xiongxin and Wang Bodang were not in the same group, even if they were, they were dragged onto the boat by force.
...
Back in the imperial study, Ouyang Shuo recruited Shen Buhai, the Commander of Shanhaiwei.
"Kings!"
Ouyang Shuo said: "Send someone to quietly watch Shan Xiongxin and Wang Bodang, especially that Wang Bodang, let me keep a close watch on him, to see who he contacts secretly."
"promise!"
Shen Buhai nodded.
"If it is found that Li Mi is playing tricks behind the scenes, immediately arrange for shadow guards to catch him, regardless of life or death." Ouyang Shuo didn't want to play cat and mouse games with Li Mi.
Maybe Li Mi thinks he has the right to disturb the world, but in Ouyang Shuo's eyes, he is just an obstacle that can be removed at any time.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty!"
Shen Buhai was equally confident.
*************
On August 13th, Violet led the negotiating team back to Shanhai City.
Ouyang Shuo went to the teleportation array to greet them personally, and gave the negotiating team the highest courtesy. The secretary of the Miwen Pavilion, Lang Bai Nanpu, read out the court's awards to the negotiating team members in public.
In addition to rewarding gold, silver and jewelry, some officials were also promoted to titles.
"Thank you, King Shang Long En!"
Violet took the lead in thanking her, but there was no interest in her eyes anymore.
During this trip abroad, Zi Luolan's understanding of Ouyang Shuo deepened, but she didn't dare to act presumptuously.
That afternoon, another big piece of news came out.
The Commercial Administration of the Great Xia Dynasty issued a notice that the caravans of the seven [Yanhuang League] territories of Handan City, Scarlet Blood City, Overlord City, Danyang City, Swordsman City, Fallen Leaf City, and Shura City are not included in the "Trans-Mediterranean Trade Partnership Agreement" Within the scope of the agreement, the corresponding tariff preferences and investment convenience cannot be enjoyed.
Of course, in view of Daxia's previous commitment to sharing trade routes, [Yanhuang League] caravans can still do business on the great route, and the ports along the way will not refuse caravans to stop for supplies.
It just increases the transportation cost and tax cost compared to other caravans.
At the same time, the Daxia Commercial Administration stated that caravans from other territories in China are not subject to this restriction, and can enjoy the same treatment as Daxia caravans.
While suppressing [Yanhuang League] forcefully, while wooing neutral territories, Ouyang Shuo's Tai Chi skill can be described as proficient, which makes people can't help but praise.
As soon as the news came out, it was naturally a double sky of ice and fire.
[Yanhuang League] The caravans in the territory are crying, and they will inevitably experience some turmoil during the period, which may even cause a large number of chambers of commerce to leave. The caravans in other territories in China are gearing up, preparing to make a big splash in ocean-going trade by taking advantage of the shareholder wind that Great Xia has set off.
Special commodities in China will be continuously transported to western countries through the great air route.
To be honest, the Great Xia Dynasty's move was quite surprising.
In the past, Daxia always responded passively to the provocations of the [Yanhuang League], and was used to stopping them quietly; this time, Daxia took the initiative, and immediately hit the [Yanhuang League] with no mercy .
Such cases are really rare.
Some people jokingly said that the [Yanhuang League] caravan was blacklisted by Daxia, and they were in a dire situation.
This time, the Great Summer is going to completely break with the [Yanhuang League], which will make all the people who eat melons excited, while some people who are "concerned about the country and the people" are anxious.
There were gossip rumors that Daxia's move was revenge for the [Yanhuang League]'s previous attempt to poison Zhang Yi.
In this way, ordinary players can't accuse Da Xia of anything, at most they can only say: "[Yanhuang League] This is self-inflicted, if you don't have that strength, don't provoke the lion!"
