Taiping Province.

"Rest assured, my reputation is indeed not good!"

At the banquet of the mansion, Yang Xin held the wine glass and said excitedly.

"But that's all slander!"

Then he said.

"Yes, it's all slander, it's all people with ulterior motives who are slandering Yang Yanshi! Yang Yan doesn't have to care, Yang Yan is trusted by His Majesty, and he will inevitably be jealous of the villain and deliberately spread rumors and slander, which is also inevitable, but as long as we are loyal to Your Majesty and have a clear conscience, why do we care about this? ”

Zhao Zhilong, the uncle of Xincheng who had just attacked the lord, raised his glass and smiled.

"Yes, yes, it's all slander!"

The Taiping prefect who was sitting at the same table said with a smile.

Then a group of civil and military officials, local tyrants and inferior gentry raised their glasses one after another.

Yang Yanshi, who suddenly appeared in Anqing, immediately put his 1,500 Dangkou troops on the boat, and then went straight down the Yangtze River, stopping along the way to ask for bribes, drifting for four days and finally arriving at Taiping Mansion, and then landed on the shore to be greeted by Zhao Zhilong and local officials who had arrived here in advance. The former is on behalf of the Nanjing noble group headed by Xu Hongji, the Duke of Wei, although the status of these more than 20 princes is higher than Yang Xin, but for this kind of real power around the emperor, at least on the surface, it is necessary to maintain respect.

"No, no, you don't understand what I mean.

I do do act a little impulsively, but that's only because I'm too loyal to Banzai, so as long as I carry out Banzai's will, I don't think about anything else.

But as far as I'm concerned, I still have a lot of respect for the Lords.

I Yang Xin came from a humble background, and I am not afraid to say it clearly, I was still a sailor two years ago today, and I was selected by the gods as a treasure giver because of my confusion, and since then I have been appreciated by Emperor Shenzong, and because of my uncle's relationship I met Long Live Lord, and in two years, a sailor has done the second grade.

I also have low self-esteem.

I have respect for the princes of Gongon.

I also learned to compose lyrics!

You see, today I will not throw my men ashore to the north shore in order to prevent them from coming ashore and disturbing the people? I'm not the ignorant kind of person, and I know what to do and what not to do.

But I'm just a gun after all, and whoever stabs me can't help it......"

Yang Xin said somewhat shakingly.

"Uncle, you're drunk!"

Yang Huan, who was standing in the back, snatched his wine glass and said.

"Why, you don't care if I drink with Uncle Xincheng, Uncle Xincheng, with the snow outside, I'll make you a snow song to listen to. Something flies in the sky, a pile in the east and a pile in the west. Could it be that the Jade Emperor built a golden palace and sifted lime and sifted lime. ”

Yang Xin shouted.

As soon as this poem came out, everyone was shocked.

The atmosphere froze instantly.

Then when Tu County Commander finally couldn't control it, a sip of wine sprayed on the face of the old squire next to him.

"Good poetry, good poetry, straightforward, clear!"

Zhao Zhilong took a deep breath and suppressed the urge to squirt wine, high-fived and sighed.

"You see, Xincheng Bodu said good poetry, no, this is the word, I will chant a gale song for you again......"

Yang Xin said excitedly.

"Uncle, you really drank too much, Uncle Xin Cheng, everyone, I will send my uncle back to rest first, my uncle is a little drunk and talking nonsense, don't think about it."

Yang Huan said.

After speaking, he glanced at the other Jinyi guard, and the two of them set up Yang Xin and left, and Zhao Zhilong and the others sent them out later, watching them disappear into the moon gate not far away, and then they looked at each other......

"Why is he pretending to be crazy and stupid?"

Zhao Zhilong said suspiciously.

Yang Xin must be pretending to be crazy and stupid, how can he be a real fool until now.

"Admit defeat, knowing that Jiangnan is not the place for him to go wild, he was so frightened that he first ran to recruit a group of subordinates as bodyguards and then pretended to be crazy and stupid to admit defeat, in the end he was scared."

The Taiping prefect sneered.

"Anyway, it's not like we're going to have a headache, this snow ......"

Zhao Zhilong finally couldn't help it.

"I can't stand those poetry anymore."

He laughed.

"It's a pity that I don't know how he should surprise the four of them when he makes that gale song!"

The prefect said with the same smile.

By this time, the object of their joke had already entered the bedroom......

"Tomorrow, I will say that I have drunk too much and have a headache, and I dare not see the wind, and then find someone to put on my clothes, use a carriage to the dock and get on the boat directly, don't let people see the flaws, stop and wait in front of Jiang Xinzhou, someone asked don't let him get on the boat, just say that I am sleeping, and when I come back, you will go directly to Pukou to pick me up."

Yang Xin said.

As he spoke, he had already taken off his outer clothes.

"Uncle, don't worry, my nephew is measured."

Yang Huan said.

As he spoke, he picked up the forged steel armor on the side, quickly helped Yang Xin put it on the outside of the silk armor, and then put on the outermost night clothes.

"You do things, I don't worry!"

Yang Xin patted him on the shoulder and said.

This was originally one of the five tigers who were nine thousand years old, and he was indeed very capable of doing things.

After speaking, he looked outside, walked out directly and went up to the courtyard wall, behind which Yang Huan quickly closed the door, and then stood in front of the door and posed in a protective posture, while Yang Xin disappeared into the night at a very fast speed in the scattered snowflakes. This Lord Qincha, who was supposed to be drunk and sleeping, walked through Dangtu City like a flower thief, and soon climbed out of the city wall, and then directly carried a wooden plank into the Yangtze River, crossed the Yangtze River through Jiangxinzhou, went straight to Hezhou on the north bank, and then ran wildly along the road to Quanjiao.

An hour later he arrived at Quanjiao.

"Didn't disappoint me!"

On the dock outside Quanjiao City, Yang Xin looked at his five hundred recruits with satisfaction.

These people landed on the north shore the day before yesterday, by the two Jinyi guards of the supervising army, a few hired guides led by a small boat straight into Chaohu Lake, and then took the land route to the east of Chaohu Lake, passed through Hanshan and then turned into a waterway to Quanjiao, three days of water and land travel 300 miles, but the main time is on the waterway from Wuwei to Chaohu Lake, after passing the Zhaoguan is to drift downstream, in addition there are hundreds of miles of land in the middle.

"If it weren't for the river all the way, the little ones would have been faster!"

Interpreter Huang San said with a smiling face.

This guy in his forties is from Hengyang, and he has more than 20 young people, one of whom is his own son, Yang Xin gave the name Huang Biao, who became the captain through the military campaign, and became the battalion commander through the force, and was appointed by Yang Xin as the temporary commander of this detachment, and he is his son's brain.

"Are there any disobedient people on the road?"

Yang Xin said.

"Back to the Admiral's words, no, the big guys all listen to you, you let the dogs take them, and they will naturally listen to the dogs."

Huang San said.

Of course, looking at his son's expression may not be.

And in the light of the torches, several of these soldiers were wounded.

The two Jinyi guards of the prison army wanted to step forward to say something, but they were stopped by Yang Xin raising his hand.

"That's right, you all have to listen to me, if I'm not there, I will listen to the person I designate, this is the rule, if you want to earn that two taels of silver a month, or even get promoted and get rich, then you must first understand the rules. You already know who I am, and you yourself know very well, I give you this opportunity, even if your ancestral graves are smoking. If you don't know how to seize this opportunity, then you will have to suffer in the mountains from generation to generation, and your descendants will continue to suffer, of course, you don't even have descendants, which woman will follow you?

Follow me!

In the future, when you have money and a woman, I will give you land, so that you can be upright.

But first, you have to play by the rules.

If you don't follow the rules, you die.

Don't think I can't kill, Jinyiwei doesn't kill? ”

Yang Xin said.

The interpreters hurriedly relayed it, and all the soldiers were silent.

"Aren't you good at walking? Everyone picked up their torches, and we still had hundreds of miles to go before dawn, and nearly half of them were mountainous. ”

Yang Xin then said.

All the soldiers hurriedly raised their torches, and the team followed Yang Xin and began the rapid march on the snowy night.

At this time, the Qingliu Pass was seventy miles away.

"Brother He, don't be afraid, as long as Yan Shenggong bites to death and encounters bandits, then what excuse does Yang Xin have to trouble you? Say you're not good at rescue? Did he himself escape? What's more, you are not under his control. ”

Li Sancai's nephew said.

He Shoubei and the officers looked at each other anxiously.

Yang Xin's sudden appearance brought them a huge panic, after all, if Yang Xin wanted to retaliate, he first had to use them as a breakthrough.

"But what if he's going to forcibly arrest someone?"

He Shoubei said.

It is true that the Holy Father of Yan will not sell them.

Anyway, it was impossible for Yang Xin to arrest Yan Shenggong and put him in the Imperial Prison for punishment.

In the same way, they are indeed not under the control of Yang Xin, the two sets of military systems of the Ming Dynasty, although the Nanjing Five Army Governor's Mansion can only manage these guards around Nanjing, but the Guangwu Wei to which they belong happens to belong to the Nanjing Right Army Governor's Office, and Nanjing also has a military department, and the Nanjing military department is the real power.

But......

How could it be so simple in the Ming Dynasty.

He is a Jinyi guard, what can he do if he comes to arrest him and torture him?

"How can he catch you without a sticker? Even if he asks for an order from the capital, the criminal department still can't help you if he doesn't sign it, Yan Shenggong said that he encountered bandits, why did the criminal department sign him a driving sticker? If he dares to arrest people without driving stickers, he really thinks that the Governor's Office, the Military Department, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Criminal Department of the Five Armies in Nanjing are all dead people! The faces of those princes in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies were beaten by him casually?

This is not the capital.

It's not up to him to say it here.

Even if he wants to take you by military law, it is Guang Wuwei, why should he take you if he has no driving sticker for a brocade guard? ”

Li Sancai's nephew said.

"I always feel like I've been cheated by you!"

He Shoubei said with a bitter face.

"The money was given to you for free? You took the silver, 200,000 taels of white silver, we are generous enough, just want the silver and don't want to take the risk, how can there be such a good thing in the world? ”

Li Sancai's nephew said disdainfully.

"Drink, drink, get drunk and relieve a thousand sorrows!"

He Shoubei said helplessly.

Then the officers who were also grim-faced raised their glasses.

"That's it, it's time to drink and drink, let the brothers all drink, what a big deal!"

Li Sancai's nephew said.

His house slaves held the jars of wine one after another, and immediately poured wine among the soldiers.
