The winter in Kyoshi is very cold, especially after the snow, and the people on the street are in a hurry to walk, and everyone does not dare to stay on the street for too long.

The snow on the ground creaks and creaks when walking, making people's hearts a little irritated. The north wind swept up and blew the fallen leaves obliquely, like a sword blade cutting the skin painfully.

Since the beginning of winter, the court and the capital have been stable, and nothing major has happened in the court, and the officials have finally lived a stable life, which is a relief.

The people of the capital are preparing for the New Year safely, and the Jingshi in the evening is shrouded in the afterglow of the setting sun, which is slightly cold.

Due to the heavy snowfall, the lively market in the past is empty today. However, no matter what time it is, there are also lively places in the capital, such as the Qinglou Chu Pavilion and the casino.

It's just that recently, there has been another lively place in the capital, and this place is called Green Food Zhai.

Just by the name, you can tell what kind of place it is, specializing in selling green vegetables.

In fact, the fact that the DPRK and China are growing green vegetables has spread in the capital.

After all, His Majesty had sent someone to reward the ministers and nobles a few days ago, and they had already eaten them. Ordinary people have not eaten it, but they have heard of it.

Under such circumstances, the opening of Green Food Village naturally caused a sensation. Although everyone didn't necessarily go over to buy it, they all ran to see the excitement.

Green Food Zhai was opened on a nondescript street, which was now blocked by people and horse-drawn carriages.

Many nobles and relatives rushed to the green food to order. People like this are not bad for money, and they have to eat vegetables and fruits every day, so they are delivered to the door on time and on time.

After people are registered, they will not send people to buy it, basically every day what they need will pull a list in advance and send it to the green food house, and then the green food will be sent to the house.

Green Food Zhai is also atmospheric, and dozens of stores have been opened in one go. People come and go every day, and many people are hired to deliver goods to their homes.

Whether it is picking outside the city, delivering it to the city, or delivering it to your door, it all requires a lot of manpower. Now it's winter again, and the people have nothing to do at home, so Green Food Zhai can be regarded as providing a way for the people to live.

Although the vegetables and fruits sold are much more expensive than at other times, anyone who has eaten fresh will never want to eat pickled vegetables again.

Every morning and evening, the carriages and horses of the Green Food Zhai are busy transporting a cart of vegetables covered with oilcloths, which can be regarded as adding some popularity to the lonely Jingshi and making the Jingshi not so gloomy.

West Garden.

Recently, Zhu Youxiao has completely bid farewell to basking in the sun, and will only bask in the sun under the eaves when the weather is particularly good, otherwise it will be too cold.

The north roared angrily, like a fierce horse that had escaped the reins, wreaking havoc in the air with debris, hitting his face like a whip. The pennant in the distance was torn and hunted, and Zhu Youxiao raised his eyes to look at the white sky above, and it was about to snow again.

Looking at this situation, the snow outside the city has accumulated very thickly, and I am afraid that it will not melt until the beginning of spring. Presumably, the things of Green Food Zhai are selling very well.

Zhu Youxiao turned around and returned to the warm pavilion, put down the question book in his hand, glanced at the long-awaited father-in-law Zhang Guoji, and nodded with satisfaction.

He reached out and picked up the peppercorns on the plate and took a sip of the wine, and said with a smile: "This time the Internal Affairs Office has done a good job. ”

"Aiqing has been in the Internal Affairs Office for more than half a year, and the internal government has been well organized and done very well, and Aiqing can be regarded as a meritorious person. When I turn around, I will let the reward be sent to me. ”

Hearing Zhu Youxiao's words, Zhang Guoji's face showed a smile, but there was some sourness in his heart.

Since I arrived at the Ministry of Internal Affairs, I have done this errand one by one, but I really don't have many times when I have a good time, and most of the time I am being poked and scolded in the back.

Since taking charge of the Internal Affairs Office, Zhang Guoji has asked his wife to pull out the white hair on his head every day. Before he wanted to come to Beijing, he had black and shiny hair, but now he ......

Now getting the praise of himself, the emperor's son-in-law, makes Zhang Guoji a little sour.

But all this is worth it, he finally got a firm foothold, and the internal affairs government is on the right track. This is very good, it is enough for Zhang Guoji.

"Thank you Your Majesty for your praise, I don't dare to take the size of the merit, I really don't deserve Your Majesty's reward." Zhang Guoji hurriedly said with faint tears in his eyes.

"If you have merit, you will be rewarded!" Zhu Youxiao looked funny, and said more and more gently to Zhang Guoji: "Aiqing retreat first, I have to think about this reward." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, the minister retires."

After Zhang Guoji left, Zhu Youxiao stretched his waist and stood up.

This is finally the New Year, and this year is about to pass.

Speaking of which, it's been a year since I crossed over, and I've done a lot of things, but this is just laying the foundation, and it's not yet solid. The real test doesn't start until next year, so let's hope everything goes well.

The first thing at the beginning of next year is the imperial examination, and at that time, the civil officials and scholars will definitely have to make trouble, but they are ready.

It's just that I don't know how things are going in the southwest now, and there is no news.

At this time, the battle in the southwest was still very fierce.

Guizhou, in the city of Bijie.

Yuan Keli sat at the table, drinking the bland tea without a sip, and the expression on his face was very indifferent.

There are two generals standing around him, one is Zhang Yanfang, and the other is naturally Zhang Cheng.

With the expansion of the army during this period of time, Yuan Keli's strength has swelled very much, and his military strength has almost reached 50,000. Although most of them are raw melons and eggs that have not been in actual combat, they are enough to bluff people.

After having such military strength, Yuan Keli naturally couldn't be idle.

Glancing at Li Biao beside him, Yuan Keli said with a little disgust: "Haven't their people arrived yet?" Let someone go and pass a message to them, and if they can't arrive tomorrow, then they won't be used. ”

"Yes, Todo-sama." Li Biao didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly said.

Since he had more troops in his hands, Li Biao found that Lord Dutang's temper had grown.

Of course, it's not for his own people, but Lord Todo must be very kind to his own people, after all, everyone is their own people.

However, Lord Dodo can be said to be more arrogant and domineering towards those southwestern toasts and the like; is even more unreasonable to the rebels, and there is absolutely no one left behind who can be killed, and it is simply a butcher in the world.

Li Biao didn't expect that Lord Dutang would have such a side.

What Lord Dutang is doing now, Li Biao is quite in favor of. That is to convene the toasts to discuss and let them follow along to fight An Bangyan.

First, it can unite people's hearts, second, it can stabilize the place, and third, it can reduce An Bangyan's strength, which can be said to be a good strategy for killing many birds with one stone.

It's just that the news has spread, but now it doesn't have much effect. There are a few toasts, but they are all toasts of small tribes, and there seems to be no news from the big tribes.

Li Biao himself is a little anxious, let alone Lord Dutang?

Therefore, Li Biao didn't feel strange about Lord Dutang's order, and he didn't even dissuade him. He felt that such an ultimatum would work.

Just then, a man walked in from outside.

The expression on this person's face was rather embarrassed, and the whole person was full of anger.

The person who came was none other than Zhang Zhongmou, the deputy envoy of Guizhou.

After Zhang Zhongmou came to the lobby, he saluted respectfully and said, "The lower officials will see Lord Dutang and Lord Governor." ”

"Alright, get up." Yuan Keli said: "But there's news? ”

"Lord Huidutang, there is indeed news." Zhang Zhongmou hurriedly said: "We just received news that after An Bangyan rebelled, many toasts also rebelled. It's just that the news was not smooth before, and we didn't receive the news. ”

"Now that An Bangyan has been repelled by us, we have also received the news. Judging from the news coming back now, at the beginning of An Bangyan's rebellion, An Xiaoliang, the local prefect of Wusa (now Weining, Guizhou), had already taken refuge in him. Sichuan Dongchuan (now Huize, Yunnan), Yunnan Zhanyi (now Xuanwei, Yunnan), Guizhou Hongbian (now Kaiyang County, Guizhou) and other places have risen up to respond. ”

The more Zhang Zhongmou spoke, the more angry he became, and the expression on his face was very ugly. Obviously, the news has made a big fuss, and I originally thought it was just An Bangyan rebelling, but now more and more people are affected, and the rebels are becoming more and more powerful.

After Li Biao heard this, his face was also ugly. He glanced at Yuan Keli and said with some hesitation: "The lower official is guilty!" ”

Li Biao's meaning is obvious, he has been in Guizhou for so many years, not only indulged An Bangyan, but also failed to deter other Tusi, he is simply a very failed official.

Yuan Keli waved his hand and said directly: "Now is not the time to talk about this. ”

Yuan Keli can't say that Li Biao is not guilty, nor can he say that Li Biao is guilty, because this matter needs to be decided by His Majesty in the palace, and Yuan Keli himself will definitely not express his opinion at this time.

Yuan Keli said indifferently: "It's okay to do this, it saves me the trouble." But there is one thing to worry about, that is, on the Sichuan side, I don't know what happened to Sun Chuanting and Qi Yuangong. If we can't send reinforcements over, they're afraid they'll be unlucky. ”

After hearing this, Li Biao's expression was also very heavy.

Because according to the original plan, Yuan Keli needed to quickly quell An Bangyan's rebellion, and then rush to support Sichuan. But now the result is that I can't get over it.

At this time, the sound of footsteps was remembered outside.

Then someone shouted in surprise: "My lord, my lord, good news!" ”

When they heard this, all the people stood up. Yuan Keli hurriedly took the lead and walked out.

As soon as I walked out a short distance, I saw someone rushing in with good news.

When the visitor saw everyone, he hurriedly said, "My lord, I am very happy! Luzhou victory! ”

After hearing this, everyone was stunned, and then looked at each other.

Yuan Keli hurriedly asked, "Where is the good news?" ”

The man didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly handed the good news to Yuan Keli's hand.

Reaching out and taking the good news, Yuan Keli took a quick look at it, his face was full of joy, and the sorrow just now disappeared, and then he laughed and said, "Okay, Sun Chuanting did a good job!" ”

While speaking, Yuan Keli handed the good news to Li Biao and said with a smile: "Take a look." ”

Reached out and took the good news. Li Biao also took a quick look, and then said with a laugh: "In this way, there are no worries." ”

The content of this good news is very clear, that is, Sun Chuanting and Qi Yuangong won in Luzhou.

In this good news, Sun Chuanting wrote in detail about his entry into Sichuan, how to gather soldiers, how to adjust morale, and how to attack Luzhou, all of which were written in great detail. At the same time, he also wrote the next plan, and the army had been drawn and went straight to Chongqing.

Judging from this good news, although Sun Chuanting may not be able to quell the rebellion in Sichuan, he has at least been able to protect himself.

This is enough for Yuan Keli, he can rest assured that he can do things boldly in Guizhou and quickly clean up An Bangyan and them.

Yuan Keli turned to Zhang Cheng and said: "Let people send this good news to Beijing, and by the way, send my question book in, 600 miles to expedite, all the way quickly, don't make any stops!" ”

"Yes, sir. I'll arrange it right away. Zhang Cheng hurriedly agreed.

After Zhang Cheng went out, Yuan Keli said: "Since the matter has come to this point, there is nothing to say, let's prepare to do it, we must destroy An Bangyan as soon as possible." Since those toasts have chosen An Bangyan, we don't have to take care of them. ”

"Yes, Todo-sama." Everyone bowed down and agreed.

At the same time, the order was also spread, the news spread quickly, and the army was also moving, ready to attack at any time.

On the Sichuan side, Sun Chuanting and Qi Yuangong led people to Chongqing.

The two of them didn't have much effort along the way, after all, now that the army is in hand, they defeated Fan Long and Fan Hu in Luzhou, and defeated Hao Yin, and the rebels can be said to be a thousand miles away.

The two of them continued to advance from Luzhou, and Hejiang did not provide them with any effective resistance at all, and were directly beaten down by the two people.

The army continued to move forward and went straight to Chongqing, with a fierce momentum, as if it was going to defeat Yu Chongming under the city of Chongqing.

At this time, under the city of Chongqing, in the camp of the rebels.

Yu Chongming looked at his son angrily, and at the same time looked at Fan Long and Fan Hu.

This is the son and general he sent out, and he brought back such a result for himself?

"How many people are there in the Ming army?" Luxury Chongming sat back in his chair and asked with a calm face.

I've been throwing a tantrum just now, and now I'm getting angry a lot, so it's time to get down to business. Yu Chongming directly asked this crucial question.

"About 30,000 people." Fan Long said on the side: "They have lost some in the battle of Luzhou, plus Hejiang should also have losses, I think there should be more than 20,000 people." If it is replenished on the road, it should be about 30,000 people. However, there was a team in the Ming army with particularly sharp firearms, and the minister led an army of 8,000 to attack them 5,000, but they were repulsed, and they suffered heavy casualties. ”

Yu Chongming glanced at Fan Long and didn't say anything.

This is his own henchman, Fan Long's ability is known to Chongming, and he already knows a rough idea of the matter in Luzhou, basically he can't blame Fan Long's head, and if he wants to blame his stupid son, he can also blame his stupid son.

However, if it were his own, he probably wouldn't have imagined that the Ming army would be so able to fight.

Yu Chongming said in a firm tone: "Then destroy them." As long as these 30,000 Ming troops are annihilated, there will be no one to support for a while. ”

"From Guizhou? What's going on in Guizhou? Didn't An Bangyan send a letter a few days ago saying that he was going to rebel? Why hasn't there been any movement until now? Really want to pick up a bargain? ”

Everyone listened to extravagant Chongming's words, and no one dared to talk.

After seeing this scene, Yu Chongming waved his hand and said directly: "It seems that Chongqing City can't be captured for the time being, so let's go and fight the Ming army that doesn't know the source first." ”

"Haoyin, I'll give you 20,000 people, you besiege Chongqing for me here, just besiege without attacking, wait for me to come back. If the Ming army in Chongqing City is killed, you can take the opportunity to take Chongqing City. ”

"Yes, Father. This time, my son will definitely get things done! Hao Yin hurriedly said.

His tone was very excited, and his heart was full of gratitude.

He knew that this was a chance for his father to turn over.

I haven't been given up yet.
