The county seat of Hui'an was attacked by the Japanese invaders, and as soon as the news came out, the Quanzhou Prefecture and even the entire Fujian Chengxuan Political Envoy Department were shaken.

What is the relationship between pirates and pirates, and what is the relationship between maritime giants and pirates, the locals naturally know very well, the Longxi Chen clan and the Zhangpu Lin clan, as local maritime tycoons, actually connived at the Japanese robbers to attack Hui'an County, which is really a bit excessive.

This time the Japanese can attack Hui'an County, will the Japanese have any scruples next time, if this kind of thing is not cared for, it is very likely that they will suffer next time.

Therefore, the squires of Quanzhou Prefecture and even the entire Fujian Chengxuan Political Envoy Department have raised some questions about the irresponsible practices of the local maritime tycoons.

Originally, they treated the Longxi Chen family and the Zhangpu Lin family equally, that is, the two families scolded together, but later, a lot of more and more "insider" news came out of Quanzhou Mansion, and the target was directly aimed at the Longxi Chen family.

It turned out that these would-be robbers were actually recruited by the Longxi Chen family, and their purpose was to take revenge on the Hui'an Yang family, and even they even said that they wanted to destroy the Hui'an Yang family!

If the Hui'an Yang family was really wiped out by the Longxi Chen family, maybe the local squires would not dare to be angry, the problem, this time the Longxi Chen family didn't seem to be successful, and the Hui'an Yang family didn't suffer any losses, this guy, the result will be very different.

Longxi Chen's obviously wants to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys, if the chicken of the Yang family in Hui'an is really wiped out by Longxi Chen's family, then the local squires and these monkeys will definitely be silent.

However, the Longxi Chen clan's chicken killing operation obviously failed, and the local squires and monkeys naturally couldn't be frightened.

What happens if they are not intimidated?

Naturally, he jumped up and scolded Longxi Chen.

Sani Nai, the chicken that killed your horse!

Your Longxi Chen clan is a chicken, right, the maritime merchant family is amazing, right, you Longxi Chen clan wants to be the king and hegemon, rampant in the township, right, the nest is so ruthless, believe it or not, we will unite and report to the imperial court, and kick your Longxi Chen clan out of this "chicken nest".

The public is angry, this time the Longxi Chen family was really scolded miserably, the old man of the Chen family was so angry that he almost didn't slaughter Chen Wenjie, the culprit, if it weren't for Chen Wenjie's father who was the imperial history of the Imperial Procuratorate of the Dynasty, this time, he might really be dealt with internally by the Longxi Chen family.

The old man of the Chen family was angry, but Li Xixian was happy, when Chongwu reported his military exploits, he really couldn't believe his eyes, more than 30 Japanese robbers were captured, and there was no casualty in Chongwu's guards, this thing is really unbelievable!

However, the more than 30 Japanese robbers were real, and when the guards of the Chongwu Institute escorted the Japanese robbers, none of them were injured.

This military feat, I'm afraid the entire government and the opposition will be shocked, right?

Li Xixian was really happy, to be honest, he was actually not comfortable as a commander, because he had not made any achievements in the past few years since he came to Yongningwei, and it seemed that he was very incompetent.

Although he has the identity of the emperor's uncle, he can sit firmly in the position of the commander without any credit, but everyone has to have a face, and he doesn't want to sit in this position and live a foolish life.

Well, with this earth-shattering achievement, his face is bright, the Lu family's face is also bright, and even the emperor's face is bright.

.....

Vulgar things have been disturbed, which has delayed Yang Cong for more than a month, what he cares about at this time is not whether there is light on his face, but whether he can be named on the gold list, and after solving the problem of widows, he began to concentrate on studying the "Notes on the Collection of Chapters and Sentences of the Four Books".

Winter went to spring, and after nearly half a year of hard reading, he finally read through the "Annotations to the Four Books and Chapters and Sentences", and at this time he was going to start preparing to go to Jinling to catch the exam.

The straight-line distance from Quanzhou Mansion to Jinling City is more than 2,000 miles, plus the road is tortuous, and there are at least more than 3,000 miles on the official road, even if you take a carriage, it will take at least a month, because the carriage will reach the sky for about 100 miles a day, otherwise even if people can stand it, horses can't stand it.

It will take more than a month on the road alone, plus thousands of miles away from home, so it is natural to prepare well, the entourage and vehicles, the route to Jinling and the food and accommodation along the way, etc., all of which must be planned in advance.

Yang Cong and Yu Dayou discussed it, and finally decided to live in the post station along the way and not go to those county towns or Fucheng, because the post stations are generally next to the official road, and many of the Fucheng and county towns need to be detoured, and he is not going to travel, let alone to have fun, so there is no need to go to the city at all.

As soon as he finished planning the route, Xue Nantang and Li Du rushed over when they heard the news, they wanted to take a hitchhike and go to Jinling with Yang Cong to participate in the township test.

They don't have as much money as Yang Cong, Li Du may still be able to afford to sit in a carriage, Xue Nantang definitely can't afford to sit in a carriage, and this Yang Cong is generally a pile of guards when he travels, so he doesn't have to worry about safety on the road with him.

Not long after, Xu Jie ordered someone to send Yang Cong a letter, which not only gave him a detailed introduction to the matters that need to be paid attention to on the way to Jinling, but also brought him a dispatch document.

It turned out that Xu Jie heard that he wanted to eat and live at the post station along the road, so he asked the new Fujian Chengxuan political envoy Wang Dong to write him a dispatch document, which roughly means that Wang Dong, the left senator, sent him, a guest of the curtain to Jinling on a business trip, and invited one or two guests at the post station along the way, and even the clerk who Wang Dong hired him as a guest also came over a little.

From the beginning, the post station of the Ming Dynasty was specifically responsible for supplying the post guards who delivered official documents, the cavalry who transmitted military information, and the accommodation and travel tools of some officials, and the management of the post station in the early Ming Dynasty was very strict, and it was a felony for non-official officials to use the post station.

However, in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the nature of this post station slowly changed, becoming a bit similar to the nature of the guest house in later generations, the managers of the post station wanted to make money, and the officials who came and went also wanted to make money, and everyone was making money from the court through the post station, so the post station at this time was generally not afraid, as long as you had money, you could live.

This is also the reason why Yang Cong decided to eat and live at the post station, as long as you stuff some money into the post station, the food and accommodation conditions are even better than ordinary inns, because they greet you with the money of the imperial court, and they will not feel distressed at all.

Of course, with Wang Dong's dispatch document, even if he doesn't stuff money at the post station, he can eat and live very well, you must know that the local magistrate of the fourth grade is already a big official, how can a post man with no grade dare to offend such a local magistrate.

The things on the road are almost ready, and the next thing is to arrange the things at home, the things in this house are actually mainly about safety, Longxi Chen will not fall for a day, and he will not be able to relax his vigilance for a day.

Fortunately, at this time, Chongwuwei near Hui'an has been in the hands of Yu Dayou, although Yu Dayou and Tang Kekuan are going to take the exam this time, Deng Cheng has no intention of going, this guy doesn't seem to be very interested in martial arts, but he is very addicted to being an official.

It just so happened that Chongwuwei's affairs were handed over to him to take care of, Yu Dayou was relieved, and Yang Cong was also relieved.

Yang Cong simply told Yang Jinfeng that when he was away, he would go directly to Deng Cheng if there was something, so that Chen Wenjie could know as soon as there was anything on Deng Cheng's side, and he could rest assured.
