The news of the erosion of the two roads south of the Yangtze River by the Yongle puppet dynasty has already reached Bianjing, but most of the people at the bottom do not know about it.

After the Spring Festival, officials of all sizes in Bianjing, wealthy families, and generals of the forbidden army gathered around the stove to discuss the situation in the south of the Yangtze River.

Many literati scolded the incompetence of the martial artists in the Qinglou, and then gave three strategies, as if once the court adopted it, Fang La could only commit suicide.

Most of the high-ranking officials and generals are still practical.

They will consider how to block it based on the situation in Jiangnan, the strength of the enemy and the court, and then eradicate the Fang La army. Whether or not specific issues such as where to transfer troops, how to supply grain and grass, and how to march into the army have been thoroughly considered is an important criterion for whether or not a strategy has taken shape.

Xunyang, Shiyan, Nanyang, Xiangyang, the entire Nanyang Basin and the Xiangyang Passage were anxious to get rid of the guilt of the Mingyueji riots, so they jointly played a joint performance to support the war in the south of the Yangtze River. This kind of initiative to send troops and food is too rare, and many people who don't know the complicated situation of Mingyueji scoff.

After careful consideration, the Beijing officials above the fifth grade, especially several Zaizhi, found that in the entire Great Zhou, only the vicinity of Nanyang could transfer troops, although Liu Chengdong had already taken away 3,000 Nanyang Xiang troops.

Although Da Zhou raised millions of soldiers, he was a little careless at the moment:

To the north of the Yellow River, the Jin State has already attacked the Liao State again, and the bandits in Hedong and Jingdong are rampant, so they can't draw too many troops and horses;

On the Jinghu Road, in view of the ineffective response to the Jianghuai flood and the lessons sent to Fang La, the local government and the Xiang army are trying their best to resettle the displaced people, clear out the water bandits, and are unable to send troops;

Lingnan Road, the local people's livelihood has not yet recovered, Dali and Nanyue still need to be guarded against, and many officials have not taken office;

The Sichuan-Shu Road has money and food, but Wu Jue and Liu Qi still need to guard against the Tubo tribes on the plateau, as well as the Dali Kingdom in the south, and the soldiers who can be sent are limited;

The two roads of Jianghuai have not yet recovered from the great flood and bandits, and the local Xiang army is most afraid that Fang La will cross the north of the Yangtze River;

Jingdong East Road, a place where heroes have been born since ancient times, and now there is another Liangshan Bo Song River, who once captured dozens of towns, and the officials and soldiers did not dare to leave;

On the Fujian Road, there are too few troops, and it would be good to be able to use the mountains to block the offensive of Fang La's army.

Zhao Ding, Li Gang, Wang Boyan and other important officials of the court urgently consulted, and found that there were few homeless bandits near Nanyang, and the public order has been improving in the past two years, and there have been no major natural disasters in three years, and it is still located in the hinterland of the Great Zhou Dynasty...... It's best to transfer troops from here.

Several Zaizhi also privately obtained the details of the Mingyueji riot through various channels.

Some details still need to be verified, but several rulers have already seen the general context: because of personal enmity and interests, the Huang Cheng family attracted some high-ranking families, and blatantly attacked Mingyuezhuang, but all kinds of mistakes occurred, causing the situation to get out of control.

Since there was no rebellion, and the big officials near Nanyang were so knowledgeable, several rulers who had been worried about the soldiers' money and food had no choice but to open up the net in order to solve the Yongle puppet dynasty as soon as possible.

Zhao Ding and Wang Boyan both admitted that they underestimated Fang La, and were ready to mobilize a large army to support Jiangnan, and the Xiang troops in Xunyang, Shiyan and Xiangyang had to transfer a large part of it.

The two pillars of the court are now crazy. There is news from Jiangnan that Fang La can't resist the persuasion of his subordinates, and he is about to become emperor!

"The owner of the village is really talented," Fang Weiliang was in the carriage, thinking about the various arrangements made by the owner before and after the whole incident, and admired it so much, "Now that the owner of the village appreciates it, let me accompany me to Jiangnan, but I have to behave well." Mingyuezhuang has firmly sat in the position of a big hero, and it can be expected to be rich for decades. ”

On the way back to Mingyuezhuang from Bianjing, Li Xiang found out a lot of information about the seven households surnamed Liu from Fang Weiliang, and was very impressed by this shopkeeper who had clear thinking, extensive knowledge, and did not dare to spend bribes.

After the conflict between Huang Liren and Mingyuezhuang began, Fang Weiliang decisively abandoned the warehouse in Nanyang City and withdrew to the Yexian transit station according to Li Xiang's instructions.

At the same time that the officers and officers colluded to attack Mingyuezhuang, the various warehouses set up by Mingyuezhuang on the way from Nanyang to Bianjing were also affected, and two warehouses were destroyed.

Fang Weiliang arrived at the Yexian transfer station, and in the face of the impact of the green-skinned ruffians, black and white forces, and big households, he decisively counterattacked with the guards, and the loss of the Yexian transfer station was very small.

Fang Weiliang entered Li Xiang's line of sight.

Li Xiang went to Jiangnan, he didn't want to expose too many things in Mingyuezhuang, he planned not to make a move, so he didn't make a move, but he wanted to ensure that he could rescue his cheap father-in-law. In order to achieve his goal, Li Xiang needs talents from all walks of life.

When Fang Weiliang guarded the warehouse, he did not blindly shout and kill, but after showing the strength of the guards, he flexibly used various means such as coercion, inducement, and provocation.

Fang Weiliang used his three-inch incorruptible tongue to provoke the centrifugal forces that attacked the warehouse, and then shouted the finishing touch: "You might as well sit and watch Mingyuezhuang divide the winners and losers." If the two Huang Cheng families win, they will hand over the intact warehouse to the next hand. "That's true.

"If the seven households surnamed Liu fail, you have today's feelings, and you are afraid that you will not be taken care of by this village? You won't lose money, everyone. ”

The first time Li Xiang saw Fang Weiliang, he knew that he was not a good thing. Fang Weiliang's house, many years ago, because of greed, ended up running away with his family. When he came to Mingyuezhuang, Fang Weiliang became the shopkeeper of the Nanyang Warehouse, but he was a little smarter, and accepted bribes from seven families surnamed Liu and some big gentry, but he didn't dare to spend it.

Good people have the usage of good people, and treacherous people have the use of treacherous people.

Li Xiang brought Fang Weiliang to Jiangnan, let him do things under his nose, and let the officials return to the right from the side. For Fang Weiliang, the trip to Jiangnan is both a grind and a test. That's a later story, so I won't mention it for now.

Time comes back to the present.

In the carriage that was moving at a constant speed, Fang Weiliang closed the paperwork of the public middle school, and lit the paper containing confidential information with a fire fold.

The carriage drove on the slush road to the mouth of the Danjiang River.

Fang Weiliang put his hand into the sleeve of his robe, shook his legs, and thought: I heard that the official was born in Ye County, and he was not treated better than me in the village, but I don't know what kind of person he is?

"Ahh Cheng took the cloth towel handed over by his son, wiped his nose and tears, and continued to complain to his nephew Cheng Jianghai, "Uncle can be regarded as looking forward to you, but you don't know in Bianjing, uncle is bitter." ”

"Everything else here in Mingyuezhuang is good, heavy work, rules, and regulations, and it is taboo to covet other people's family property. But my uncle has a big family, and he always has to have a certain status, and your younger brothers, none of them are good at studying or learning martial arts. ”

Cheng Jianghai came to the house of the Cheng official, and finally took off his black robe and showed his true face. When he heard this, he looked at the three smiling cousins with big hands and feet, and almost didn't squirt out the wine.

Somehow, it may be the retribution in the mouths of some people, as a member of the Xu family, none of the sons born are outstanding. When he came to Mingyuezhuang, the officials knew that their sons could not meet the requirements of the public middle school, the elder battalion and the guards, so they gave up.

The clerk asked his sons to practice their crafts diligently, handed over the shipyard to them as early as possible, and went to the public middle school to find a job after learning about the customs and customs of Mingyuezhuang and the laws and regulations of Gongzhong.

As the most hated official of the Zhuang people, he entered the public middle school, and the official was the first.

Cheng Cheng watched his sons touch their heads and smirked, and they didn't dare to say a word in front of Cheng Jianghai, looking up and sighing, with some loveless meaning.

The two little dolls broke the curtain, ran in with snow slag all over their bodies, squeezed directly into Cheng Jianghai's chair, and shouted crisply: "Uncle Jiang Hai, Uncle Jiang Hai." If you eat meat, you should eat meat. ”

Cheng Jianghai picked up his nephew and niece and kissed him a few times, took turns feeding a few mouthfuls of pig's head meat, and pinched a few handfuls on his two little faces.

Cheng Cheng's wife and concubine walked in and greeted Cheng Jianghai. Cheng Jianghai stood up straight and saluted.

The two women straightened their faces and tried to take the two troublemakers away.

The two little dolls screamed, using benches, charcoal stoves, tables and chairs and other objects to constantly "defend", and when they ran to Cheng Jianghai, they didn't forget to open their mouths.

The adults laughed, the two women were angry, the little doll shouted excitedly, and the room was filled with joy. Laughter pierced through the walls of the house, and snowflakes fell in the sky.

The little doll was still caught.

Cheng Jianghai saw that the two little ones were about to cry, picked up a bowl, and filled the dishes that the two dolls loved to eat and handed them over. The two troublemakers didn't care about wiping their tears, hugged the big bowl, and found a place to share the spoils. The voices of the clerk and the two women came: "Don't get used to them......"

Cheng Jianghai's parents and eldest brother ended up too miserably, and he attached great importance to family affection.

Uncle Zhao arranged a place for him to stay, and Li Mengkong personally registered him and paid him his salary during his stay in Bianjing. Cheng Jianghai didn't even care about tidying up the house, so he came to his uncle's house as a guest and revealed some news by the way.

Annoyedly, he asked his three sons to step down, and the clerk continued to complain, "When I arrived at the public middle school, my uncle was very dedicated to his work, and he never dared to break any rules, which made people look down on him. Supervising matters, collecting commissions, and reconciling conflicts, there are few who are better than uncles. ”

After drinking a large bowl of wine, the official straightened his beard, his face was slightly red, and his hands were spread, "It's useless." Zhuang Min hated me as a Xu official, and those people in the public disliked my uncle because he was born into a family...... Alas, they had reason to despise their uncle. ”

"But watching the young people go up, a few of them are still in a mess, so they are in charge, and my uncle feels uncomfortable."

Cheng Jianghai peeled a few nuts and ate them, "Uncle doesn't have to get on fire." The owner of the village came back this time, since he directly promoted you, no one will be too embarrassed in the future. ”

The clerks felt a little better.

Cheng Jianghai lowered his voice and said: "The owner's thoughts, the nephew is not easy to guess, but according to the owner's habits of doing things, I am afraid that the public will have to change greatly." As long as my uncle tries his best to work in Jiangnan, he is afraid that he will not have a good position when he comes back? ”

"Over there in Jiangnan, don't you mainly rely on Zhang Qingping and Yang Yingdong?" The clerk was surprised. He originally thought that he was sent to Jiangnan because of someone suppressing him. "Uncle's body, it's not as good as being a small soldier, he can only count money, food and materials, and deal with some paperwork, how much credit can he have?"

Cheng Jianghai knew Li Xiang's way of doing things, but it was hard to elaborate, so he just said ambiguously: "The place in the south of the Yangtze River has become a pot of porridge." ”

"Fang La has obtained the materials from the wealthy family and Mingzhou Port, and his momentum is very high, I am afraid that he will not be able to increase his troops by 100,000? The owner of the village brought hundreds of people over, did he have to fight hard with Fang La? ”

"If the owner of the village really recruits soldiers in the local area, participates in the war with the whole army, and rescues the great commander, it will be a trouble-inducing move. The owner of the village brought his uncle, Old Man Zhang, Cheng Clerk, Radar and others over, what is the intention, uncle understands, right? ”

The clerk thought for a moment, and after thinking about it, he was overjoyed: he is in Jiangnan, and he has a lot to do!
