Chapter 139: Quietly Walking
On April 28 of the second year of Jingyan, the drums were beaten twice, and the water gate that had long been closed in Guangzhou City was opened again, and the imperial ships that had been moored in the inner harbor for many days quietly left the wharf. In this way, the imperial ship and the accompanying ships passed through the water gate to meet with the brigade of Yang Fan in the outer harbor, and sailed out of the mouth of the Pearl River to the southwest.
"Fu Shuai, Your Highness is really incomprehensible, this time not only left all the money and grain in the treasury, but also ordered the official to transfer all the taxes collected by the City Shipping Division to the Guangdong Transit Division." Pan Fang said with a wry smile.
"Yes, although the money is only more than 200,000 yuan, but when we came, the entire Shuai Mansion did not have so much money, and His Highness gave it to others with just one sentence. Fu Shuai has to tell His Highness that although it is more relaxed now, it can't be done in such a way! Zhuang Shilin couldn't help but complain.
"Fu Shuai, when we came, we secretly took Guangzhou City, and now we are leaving quietly, how do the Sprinkle family think that our Shuai Mansion Army is like a thief." Zhao Mengjin couldn't help but shake his head and sighed.
After Zhang Zhensun came to Guangzhou, the next day the Marshal's Mansion and the Guangdong Department of Preparation and Development began to hand over, and His Royal Highness immediately moved out of the Guangzhou Mansion and moved to another office. And His Royal Highness did not move all the household belongings in the palace as spoils of war as he said before, but made up the deficit according to the account books of the treasury at the beginning of entering the city before handling the transfer. When the various departments of the Marshal's Mansion left, His Royal Highness ordered that in addition to his personal belongings and documents, all the old things in the government and some of the items that had been repurchased should be left behind and handed over to the Guangdong side, so that he could start working without any other arrangements after he settled in.
With the arrival of the Guangdong army one after another, all the Shuaifu troops withdrew from the city of Guangzhou, and the various defensive areas were also handed over in order, and all the items in the military camp were also transferred to them according to the regulations, and then the whole army gathered in the old village of the original enemy Chima Tanjun in the south of the city. His Highness so arranged. Not to mention that the Guangdong side was amazed, even the officials of the Marshal's Mansion were very puzzled. In the past, the army moved to the defense and did everything they could loot, and those who could take it away would never be left behind, and those who could not be taken away would be resold to others, and those who could leave an empty camp for the latecomers would be worthy of them.
If you give something, you can give it, and what happened next made everyone in the Shuai Mansion even more angry. Even if it is not said that the city of Guangzhou was defeated by the army of the Shuaifu, with the identity of His Royal Highness as the prince of the dynasty and the deputy marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, the local government has to be far closer to send a good reception, and when leaving, he must also send a full ceremonial journey to the city to see him off. Your Highness did not order the whole army to board the ship until the city was closed this evening. After the second watch, he set sail for Qiongzhou, and was strictly ordered not to disturb the place.
Zhang Zhensun and the others also learned that His Royal Highness was going to lead the army to leave when they resigned on behalf of the prince and asked for the water to be opened. But in the middle of the night, where did I have time to prepare, I could only personally lead several chief officials of Guangdong to the dock to see them off, and the two sides parted only a few cups of tea and a few cherished sounds, and the Shuai Fujun and His Royal Highness left quietly in this quiet night.
"You think you are the world, if you can send it to the world!" Ying Jieyan listened to them and said leisurely after complaining.
"Fu Shuai, what does this mean?" Zhao Mengjin is a good hand at fighting, but after all, he doesn't read much. After listening to this, he asked a little confused.
This sentence comes from "Lao Tzu", which means that only those who sacrifice themselves for the world can God entrust the world to him. His Royal Highness has done this, and now I think it is true, since the first emperors and two dynasties. The Tartars invaded the south, the military state used a lot, the court could only take the people to solve the difficulties, and the people paid taxes for the past dynasties. Now almost the whole country has been lost. And the imperial court has not decreased, but the people's financial resources have been exhausted, and His Royal Highness can be sympathetic to the people. Relief of the poor, benevolent government, and the consideration of the country's overall plan, from which to help colleagues, as a great good. Now he has abandoned prosperity and sacrificed himself to go to Qiongzhou, which can be said to be the world. Deng Guangjian took over and explained.
"Yes, His Royal Highness is so young that he knows that the world is planning, but we are worried about some vain things, and this is the only thing that has fallen behind!" Pan Fang sighed when he heard this.
"Well, the Sprinkle family understands a little. Today we have helped them, and we look at the messenger who wants to repay him with death. How can we sit idly by and ignore our difficulties in the future? His Royal Highness spent a small amount of money, but he got a strong reinforcement, which is still a good deal. Zhao Mengjin grinned.
"It is said that a gentleman loves money and takes it in a way, and now it is seen that a gentleman needs to use it in a way if he has wealth, but His Royal Highness's thoughts are very human!" Zhuang Shilin said secretly. However, his perspective is different, His Royal Highness did not hurt the people's power or businessmen, but he gained a huge amount of money; And the use of money did not cost him a penny, but it made his colleagues admire and the people admired, and let these sour and reckless men sincerely die. I can't help but sigh that ordinary people have money to buy houses and fields, raise beautiful wives and concubines, and buy rare treasures; But His Royal Highness has money, but he buys people's hearts and public opinion, and what he gets is the world, and the means of financial management are really high.
"Your Highness has a different talent, and he often does things unexpectedly, and it is difficult to understand them if he does not think carefully. In the future, you must not live up to ordinary people's hearts and talk about it in vain, so as not to be misunderstood! Ying Jieyan saw that everyone was relieved, and said with a straight face.
"Xiaguan understands!" Fu Shuai's words have a warning meaning, and arguing about Shangguan is also a taboo in officialdom, how can everyone not understand, they all responded.
"Let's rest first, we have something to do tomorrow!" Seeing that everyone no longer questioned, Ying Jieyan nodded. In his heart, he secretly sighed that it was not easy for him to be a king, and every time the apprentice did something, he had to wipe his ass in the back......
In the early morning of the next day, the city gate was reopened, and people suddenly found that the soldiers guarding the gate had been replaced by the Guangdong army, the Shuaifu army stationed under the city had been emptied, and the imperial ships anchored at the wharf under the city had disappeared. The news of the evacuation of the Shuaifu army quickly spread through the city, and people who couldn't believe it flocked to the docks to check, but the truth was in front of them, and not a single warship was missing in the military harbor that had been like a forest.
"Your Highness is benevolent, in order not to disturb the soldiers and civilians in the city, he has quietly left in the middle of the night!" An old man fell to his knees on the dock and cried, "The army of the Shuaifu has been in the city for less than a month, and the autumn has not committed any crimes, punishing the traitors and eliminating the evil, and returning the Langlang Qingtian to Guangzhou, so that the cultivators have fields and the poor have houses, which is the blessing of my people." With His Royal Highness here, I am hopeful that the Great Song Dynasty will be restored! All the people were moved by the feelings, and they knelt down to the southwest to bow down to His Royal Highness.
Later, the head of the city boat guild announced that in order to thank His Highness for sensing the hurricane and informing the ship to enter the harbor to take shelter from the storm, so that everyone could avoid the shipwreck, he decided to donate funds to build a shrine for His Royal Highness in Donghao Inner Harbor to commemorate it. For a time, the people of the city enthusiastically donated money and materials, and contributed to the work, and in less than a month, a magnificent temple was built, dedicated to a boy with a wicked smile, which is said to have been painted by a painter who had seen His Highness according to his memory.
In order to avoid His Royal Highness's name and name of the ancestral hall called the 'Six Kings Temple', because the legend of His Royal Highness has the sky and the sea, the prediction of the wind and clouds can only, all ships will go to the temple to pray for peace before going to sea, and regard it as the 'sea god'......
