When the owner of the horse village brought his grandson out like a treasure, the guests couldn't help but praise it.

"This kid grows strong and looks strong!"

"Tsk, it looks like it's not light!"

Only Huo Wu's father and son were familiar with Huo Bao like this, looking at this similar eyebrows and eyes, and hugged the child.

Life and death, such a coincidental birthday, the father and son also sighed.

Huo Bao, the "uncle and grandfather", also hugged the child himself, and his heart was not sour.

Huo Bao is not very old, but since he beat his brother and started a family, he has also mentioned the matter of his nephew a few times, worrying that the colt is active and will not be a mother.

Now that the little nephew has it, he still looks like this, but he can't see it as an uncle.

When Uncle Huo, Huo Shun, and Shi saw this child, they were also sad.

The owner of the horse village was not only satisfied with the appearance of the little grandson without Xiao's mother, but also noticed the sentimentality of the Huo family, so he accepted the joy on his face.

In the eyes of outsiders, there is no need to speculate.

Ma Juzi is a son-in-law, this child's surname is Ma, and he wants to inherit Ma's incense.

But Ma Liuye married a wife?

Where is the grandson kissing the son?

Is this regretted?

Everyone paid attention to the reaction of the Shi family.

Shi Jin and Shi Cong's cousins are in Hangzhou with Monk Feng, not in Jinling.

The former is the patriarch of the Shi family, and the latter is Mrs. Shi's father.

Both of them are gentry masters, and they are both elders of the owner of the horse village, and they came to the door in person for the "washing three" wine of a great-grandchild, which is the statement of the historian.

During the banquet here, everyone pushed the cup and changed the lamp, and in the hotel, Yuan Er and his party had been detained.

Yuan Er was dumbfounded, glaring at Niu Qing full of anger: "What can't be discussed, why did the fifth master go back on his word?" ”

Niu Qing is the captain of Huo Wu's personal guard, so naturally he will not be ordered by others.

Niu Qing looked at Yuan Er, but he didn't mean to explain much.

Yuan Er hid his fear: "Let's talk to Lord Lin, what about Lord Lin?" ”

Niu Qing waved his hand, and his subordinates had already taken rags to block Yuan Er's mouth.

"Woo woo woo ......"

Yuan Er struggled desperately, and a little despair was born in fear.

What's going on?

Didn't the Chuzhou Army agree to Taizhou's annexation?

Could it be that the eldest brother has repeated it again?

But weren't the soldiers and horses of the court defeated?

In addition to the Chuzhou Army, who else can the eldest brother vote for?

*

On August 16, the good news from Taizhou arrived.

The Chuzhou army has taken Taizhou and captured Yuan Guozhen alive.

Hou Xiaoming and Qiu Wei led their troops to Wuzhou, and the Jia brothers and Shi San led their troops to Mingzhou.

Shi Jin stayed in Taizhou, Jin Cuo stayed in Yuezhou, and the water entered the main town of Hangzhou.

Deng Jian, Monk Feng, and Marshal Yu led the troops back to the division.

In addition to the previous Muzhou, Hangzhou, and Huzhou, the Chuzhou Army has seven more states on Jiangnan East Road.

Not to mention the siege of the city and the seizure of land, but only to say that the land of the four states that swallowed the white shirts of Taizhou made the Chuzhou army excited.

If it is divided today, Taizhou Baishan is also a force that can be counted, with hundreds of thousands of soldiers.

The territory is not large, but it guards the "cornucopia", the salt works in the south of the Yangtze River, except for part in Songjiang, most of the others are in the territory of the Taizhou Army.

In addition, Taizhou White Shirt was one of the first White Shirt Army to revolt, and the Chuzhou Army took it, which was also a deterrent to other White Shirt forces.

The owner of the horse village also brought joy: "If you can catch Yuan Guozhen, it is a complete achievement, otherwise he will run overseas, and we will have a headache when we turn back." ”

Du Laoba also smiled: "This time we are down-to-earth, right?" ”

The Chuzhou army occupied the richest place south of the Yangtze River, but it fell into a position where the enemy was everywhere.

Now that the Taizhou army has been removed, the backyard is stable.

"The fifth master has won three points of the world, and he has the qualifications to rule the river with the imperial court!"

Master Lin looked solemn.

Huo Wu didn't think so, waved his hand and said: "It's still early, Jiangnan is rich, but the people are weak, and now the main force of our Chuzhou army is still the children of Huainan!" ”

Huang Nan's disciples, who went south to fight the Jiangnan soldiers, took the advantage.

But it really has to wait until that day, and the Chuzhou Army's "Northern Expedition" is another situation.

Let's just say that the Qi Chun army in the west is still not to be underestimated.

News came from Wuchang Mansion that the Qi Chun army continued its "southern expedition", and in the past few months, it has also defeated several state capitals.

Not only that, perhaps it was the Chuzhou Army that blocked the road of the "Eastern Expedition", and the Qichun Army also began to divide its troops to "Expedition to the West", which was also a remarkable achievement.

If you talk about the territory occupied, it is still Qi Chunjun who is slightly better.

"The resettlement of Yuan Guozhen, wait for everyone to come back and then discuss!"

Yuan Er was closed, and Huo Wu was also a little hesitant about Yuan Guozhen's arrangement, and did not make a direct decision.

When the father and son were left, Huo Wu mentioned his concerns to his son: "Yuan Guozhen can't be killed for the time being, otherwise, if you turn back and face Taizhou Baisha and Bozhou Baishan, you will only have to fight to the death." It's just that this person can't stay for a long time, and if he stays, he will be ...... again and again."

Huo Wu is different from Deng Jian.

He doesn't kill, and he also cherishes talents.

Like Pang Liang, Bu Jian and other sailor generals who have no bad deeds, Huo Wu was locked up and not killed.

did not coerce and lure right now, but waited for the court to fall apart and the families of the two were no longer hindered.

But for Yuan Guozhen, who was a hero, Huo Wu never thought of subduing him.

"It's not a person who lives under people, and it's such a repetitive character, even if you really want to accept it, it's me who doesn't worry about him, he doesn't worry about me, and he always has to turn against him......"

Huo Bao thought for a while and said, "If Dad wants Yuan Guozhen to be a horse bone?" ”

Huo Wu nodded and said: "It means this, but horse bones can only be horse bones!" ”

In today's troubled times, there are many heroes.

The Chuzhou army is not afraid to confront other forces, but there is no need to fight to the death.

Yuan Guozhen is more useful to live than to die, but if it will bring trouble, then there is nothing to be reluctant to......

On the day of the Double Ninth Festival, 80,000 Chuzhou troops returned victorious.

Huo Wu took the people who stayed behind and personally greeted the marshals under the city gate.

Jinling City is boiling up and down.

Since the Chuzhou army entered Jinling, less than a year.

The Chuzhou army has made several expeditions, all of which have been victorious.

Now in the mouths of the people, there is only the Taiwei Mansion, only the Huo Jiajun, and there is no voice of the court.

There are only some sour Confucians, who sighed behind their backs: "The country will not be a country, and the demons will dance wildly!" ”

Even the gentry who are still loyal to the Daning Dynasty can't say with a clear conscience that Jinling is not good today.

Today, it's business as usual in the city.

The city gate canceled the entry tax, and the commercial tax in the city was ten taxes and one, which was not low, more than the fifteen taxes of the Daning Dynasty, but there were no miscellaneous taxes, only this one.

The rest of the labor draws are all three draws of one and five draws of two, and the longest is one month, and the shortest is not more than ten days.

You must know that the former prefect scraped the ground, and half a year's work caused a lot of harm to Jinling.

When they arrived at the Chuzhou Army, the merchants couldn't find a way to "make offerings".

There is a Xue Qiye, who was born in a businessman, and has some incense with everyone, but he is a dragon who sees the beginning and the end.

Only Mrs. Xue brought a handful of women and children to the Xue Mansion, and there were no male guests.

The rest of the people, everyone wants to use silver to smash a door out, and they also have to weigh it.

The civil and military officials in the Chuzhou military territory have "quarterly inspections" and "annual inspections", and many heads have to be cut off after the inventory is completed every year.

The crime of accepting bribes is not serious, and the small amount is only a fine, but if the corresponding "favoritism" is discovered, the punishment will be exile at least and the death penalty at worst.

For this reason, when the money is given out, either no one dares to accept it, or it does not do anything.

Over the past year, Jinling City has become more prosperous than in the past.

Not to mention the reopening of local merchants, there are more and more foreign merchants.

Although the Chuzhou Army "auctioned" the property of the Feng family, the richest man in the world, it did not scare everyone away.

The Feng family has "bad deeds" in front of him, who will copy the house if he doesn't copy the house?

It can only be said that Feng Wanwan is confused, and he has a younger brother who does not support him, and supports a house slave to come out.

The wings of this house slave are stiff, and he has another thought.

When the Chuzhou army had already reached Yangzhou, tens of thousands of officers and soldiers were abducted, which pitted the Feng family.

Otherwise, even if there is an "enemy" of the Feng family in front of him, for the sake of Monk Feng, he will not end up raiding the family.
