Jinling, a thousand households in the east of the city. ★ New Thinking Chinese Network members hand-played ★

Jia Yuan looked at the letter in his hand and was speechless for a long time.

He had already heard the news about the Chuzhou army's entry into Hezhou, but he didn't expect Hezhou to be so vulnerable.

A strong crossbow? Artillery?

Where does Huo Wu want to go?

Jia Yuan shuddered inexplicably.

Jia Yan frowned and walked in: "Second brother, the food is going to be cut off." The military salary has been delayed for half a year, and this grain is getting ...... later and later every month."

The two brothers donated on behalf of hundreds of households.

Because of the trend of buying and selling officials in Jinling officialdom in the past six months, Jia Yuan made a thousand households, and also gave his brother a palm print.

The two brothers have one military affairs and one logistics, and more than 1,000 people in the east of the city are almost as private soldiers.

This is not in line with the rules of officialdom, but where are the rules now?

Henan Province and Huainan Province have been in chaos for more than half a year.

Jiangnan is not very peaceful, Taizhou as early as three or four years ago there were salt merchants gathered to rebel, when the imperial court Zhao'an, and now take advantage of the Central Plains chaos, began to divide the place, attack the neighboring state capital.

It is also Jiangnan West Road, fortunately, it is separated from Jinling by 900 miles, so you don't have to worry about them calling.

Jia Yuan gritted his teeth and said: "Is this selling out the rice in the official warehouse and starting to sell military rations?" ”

Jia Yan sighed: "It's all crazy...... The imperial court, is there really no hope? ”

Jia Yuan smiled bitterly: "What else can you hope for?" Henan Province and Huainan Road were in chaos, and finally the Shandong soldiers recovered Xuzhou, and when they arrived in Huainan again, they were recruited back without fighting. ”

"Just because the generals of the Shandong Army are from the queen family?"

Jia Yuan nodded and said, "That's it." News from the capital, this year's queen in the thirtieth spring and autumn period, someone asked the crown prince to ......"

Jia Yan gasped: "Isn't the queen's son dead?" ”

Jinling is prosperous, and the news of the capital is always continuous.

"The queen adopted the four princes from the palace last year......"

"I don't want to come, the emperor doesn't want to."

The position of the prince, in all dynasties, has been established by the heir, and the long or love is established without the heir.

The young man ascended the throne today, reigned for eighteen years, and had four princes.

The eldest son was born to the queen and died at the age of two; The second son and the third son are all from the noble concubine Yin, one is thirteen and the other is ten years old; The fourth son is the son of the palace man, who is three years old.

Yin is a Goryeo tribute girl, five years older than the emperor, the emperor was a tea palace maid when he was young, and she was also the first concubine, and she has been favored for more than ten years.

For this concubine, the emperor also deposed a queen Yuan.

However, as an emperor who ascended the throne as a teenager and was overridden by the prime minister, his "deposed queen" also took advantage of the trend.

Empress Yuan is the granddaughter of the former prime minister, a noble daughter of a high family, with a strong temperament, and once whipped the Yin family.

With the emperor's pro-government, he supported a new person to replace the former prime minister, and the queen of the Yuan Dynasty was also deposed and given dove wine.

It's just that Yin's status is lowly and he has no chance to take the posterior, so today he chose the successor from a high family, which is the current queen.

The queen's father and brother are both generals in the army, and his uncle is the current prime minister.

How could the emperor let the son of his concubine who had grown up not stand up and set up a milk doll?

The power of the later clan leaned towards the government and the opposition, and I was afraid that if the four princes made the prince, his life as the emperor would come to an end.

When the queen mother is in the court, who is the world in this world?

Now the court is at an impasse.

If you want to send troops to quell the rebellion, then the weight of the descendants will become heavier and heavier.

The second prince is getting farther and farther away from the crown prince.

This year, someone asked for the crown prince, but it was not because of the chaos in Henan Province and Huainan Province.

wanted to use this to blackmail the emperor and make the queen's adopted son the crown prince.

It's just that the emperor is the emperor in the end, how can he be willing to be threatened?

And before this emperor, four or five emperors were all violently killed and poisoned, which is enough to make people take warning.

Jia Yan didn't speak.

Since ancient times, the struggle between imperial power and relative power has been endless.

Chengxiang is a high gate, and his family is Chinese Wu Manchu Dynasty.

If the prime minister is defeated, Daning's vitality will be greatly damaged.

If the emperor is defeated, the queen will help the young lord to ascend the throne, and even if the rebellion is quelled, Daning will have to change the master.

This world is really hopeless.

Jia Yuan handed the letter in his hand to his brother.

Jia Yan took it, looked at it in a hurry, and his expression changed greatly: "Chuzhou, Hezhou...... The next step should be Luzhou...... Luzhou has Chaohu Lake Naval Army......"

"Big brother also sees it?"

"Perhaps...... Is it to fight Yangzhou? Yangzhou City also has a naval army, and if you want to take Yangzhou City, you need to use both land and water......"

"What about taking Yangzhou? There is only one Chuzhou left above, and there is a sect leader in Beihe and Henan Province, so it can't be that the imperial court has not yet quelled the rebels, and the white shirts everywhere are killing each other, right? ”

Jia Yan looked at the letter again: "Aren't these two too conspicuous?" ”

"The military rations are going to run out, what's the use of keeping them? As for the gap of 100 zhang, does Jinling still need to guard it? That's a piece of fat. ”

Jinling is opposite to Hezhou across the river, how could Huo Wu allow others to occupy Jinling?

Whether it is artillery or crossbows, they are all in the hands of the Jinling defenders, and it is not their turn to live in thousands of households on the outskirts of the city.

"Shi Jin's side?"

In the past six months, the brothers of the Jia family have been promoted, Shi Jin, as the head snake and the old man in the army, has also been promoted from a thousand households to the deputy envoy of the Jinlingwei Command Envoy, who is the fourth product, and his subordinates are in charge of 3,000 defenders.

"Brother Shi is an understanding person, he pulled our brother before, we can't leave him."

Shi Jin is cautious, but in fact, he has always sold favors to Huo Wu......

……

And the state state government, posted a notice early in the morning.

Many gentry and common people gathered around to watch.

"In the eighth year of junior high school, students will study in the state to prepare for the examination, and those who pass the examination will go to Chuzhou to become officials, and those who are above the child will register in the state government...... If you are good at counting the numbers, you can pass the preliminary examination to obtain the qualification for the examination......"

"The above children are still reliable, why do you list the number of surgeries alone? Isn't that the end of the bookkeeper? ”

"Maybe there is a shortage of bookkeepers."

"Chuzhou is poor, who rarely goes?"

"As an official, you are not rare, people are rare!"

“……”

No matter how Chuzhou is, there are many people who are tempted.

Not only the poor scholars, but also the children of the gentry are also more tempted.

Learn to write and martial arts and sell it to the emperor's family.

Marshal Huo is the lord of the two places, shouldn't he serve as a servant?

This is the difference between Hezhou and Chuzhou.

The Chuzhou gentry never forgot the imperial court before.

was cleaned up by the Chuzhou army several times, but they were all semi-forcibly pulled into the Chuzhou army, and many people were still watching.

When they came to Hezhou, they didn't need Huo Wu's coercion and temptation, they would persuade themselves themselves.

Not long after the notice was posted, people went to the yamen one after another to sign up.

……

At noon, Huo Bao came out of Mr. Lin's place.

Zhu Gang and Liang Zhuang were already waiting outside.

Since arriving in Hezhou, Huo Bao has restored the previous Chuzhou rules, studying "Historical Records" with Mr. Lin in the morning, and going to the state camp in the afternoon to watch Ma Juzi and others practice soldiers.

Two thousand child soldiers were also in the state camp, watched by Huo Bao.

Huo Bao saw Zhu Gang, remembered something, and said: "There is nothing to do recently, you and Xiao Er clean up, clean up, go back to Binjiang for a few days, and accompany your parents......"

I mentioned it to Lieutenant Zhu once before, and asked Zhu Qiang to return to Binzhou for a period of time, but then I forgot about it when there was a lack of people.

Now the four places of Hezhou have begun to recruit soldiers, and it is Shuijin who is responsible for recruiting troops in Hezhou.

In addition to the 2,000 people in the Monk Division, there are 5,000 and more than half of the new soldiers, and they are not conscripted for the time being.

It's time for leisure.

Hezhou is less than 100 miles away from Binjiang, and it is too late to summon back if there is something.

Zhu Gang hesitated: "...... beside Bao Ye"

"Everyone is here, and there is still a shortage of people to call for it? Don't be verbose, give you a ten-year vacation. ”

Huo Bao Dao.

In the past six months, everyone's spirit has been tightened, and they must also be relaxed.

Thinking of this, he said to Liang Zhuang: "A few of you, you also take turns on vacation, if you want to visit relatives and friends, or take a leisurely stroll, just take advantage of this lukewarm time......

These child soldier leaders, even if they are from displaced backgrounds, are from the capitals of the prefectures.

Liang Zhuang's face flushed, and he said a little shyly: "If it's cheap, my subordinates want to take a few days off...... Take a trip back to Lingshui...... My mother told me about a family affair before she died, and she was a cousin of my uncle's family......"

Huo Bao knew that Liang Zhuang was from Guanlingshui, his parents died, and there was a severe drought last autumn, and he fled to Jinling with his fellow villagers.

Even among the Scouts, there are two teenagers who are his fellow villagers.

I didn't expect there to be relatives like my uncle.

"Your uncle's house is still in Lingshui? Didn't run away? ”

"My uncle's family has a few acres of land, and there is a craft, which is a carpenter......

Huo Bao couldn't help frowning when he heard this.

Mother's uncle, this is not a lie.

Liang Zhuang is fifteen this year and fourteen last year.

He grew up tall and strong, and although he was not yet a man, he could be called by most of the labor.

It doesn't matter if it's a nephew like this, or a future uncle or uncle?

Let him escape?

"Why didn't you go to your uncle last year?"

“……”

After a while, Liang Zhuangfang said: "Uncle and aunt live carefully......

Huo Bao was speechless.

It is said that the mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, and the more she looks at it, the happier she becomes, and this Liang Zhuang aunt is obviously an exception.

And the uncle, the man who is the master of the house, really wants to protect his nephew, and can he let his mother-in-law be a demon?

Most of them hate the poor and love the rich, and have the heart to regret their marriage.

Liang Zhuang knew that his aunt didn't like it, but he still wanted to visit his relatives, which was because he cared about this family business.

Inseparable.

Huo Bao is not good at stopping.

After all, it was he who opened his mouth to mention the rotation of rest, and Liang Zhuang mentioned it.

It's just that Lingshui is different now, but more than 10,000 people of the Bozhou army are stationed.

In July and August, Deng Jian took enough people to toss again, and he had enough hatred.

They didn't dare to hit Chuzhou City, and they didn't dare to take a few Chuzhou troops to vent their anger?

Huo Bao said uneasily: "I should have asked you to bring more people and return to your hometown with beautiful scenery...... But Marshal Liu is now in Lingshui, and the two sons of his family are not understandable people, in order to prevent extraneous branches, you still hide the identity of the Chuzhou army, go back as the shop manager of the seventh uncle's side, prepare more courtesies, don't say that you have leaked your mouth. ”

Liang Zhuang has no objections.

As he spoke, several people went out of the state office.

A young man wandered not far away, looking at the state government with a hesitant expression.

Seeing Huo Bao and the others, he took a few steps back.

After seeing Huo Bao's appearance clearly, he stepped forward again.

"Stop!"

Zhu Gang held the hilt of the knife and scolded the young man.

Liang Zhuang also stood sideways in front of Huo Bao, looking at the young man with a guard.

"Eun Gong!"

The young man bowed to Huo Bao.

In half a year, Huo Bao's body has been raised by several inches, but he is still a teenager, and his facial features have not changed much.

But the young man has changed much.

It's not the rich young master like before, it's much calmer.

This is none other than Shi Cong, who met the Huo family's father and son on the way after the war accident in Nanshan Village.

"Second Master Shi!"

Huo Bao walked out from behind Liang Zhuang and was very surprised: "You didn't go to Bozhou?" ”

"When we said goodbye to Engong and Second Brother Jia, we went all the way north, and within one day, we encountered two groups of robbers, and most of the family ran away...... I didn't dare to go again, so I wanted to take a detour from Hezhou, but I didn't expect my sister to be seriously ill, so I delayed it......"

Shi Cong explained his experience after parting in a few words.

Outside is not the realm of talking, Huo Bao said to Zhu Gang and Liang Zhuang: "You two go back to the camp, tell the leopard about asking for leave, and hand over the errand at hand, I won't go over......"

Zhu Gang and Liang Zhuang responded, and Huo Bao said to Shi Cong: "Second Master Shi, please come in with me to talk." ”

Shi Cong looked at the state government and Huo Bao, and was surprised: "The benefactor's surname is Huo, but is the family of Marshal Huo of Chuzhou?" ”

Huo Bao saw that his expression didn't seem to be fake, and said, "In the past six months, Second Master Shi hasn't returned to Jinling once?" ”

If you go back, you should know the identity of Huo Wu's father and son.

Shi Cong's expression was gloomy: "The remnants of the sin dare not show up rashly, for fear of affecting the people of the Loving Family......"
