Chapter 404: White Arowana Suit

When the Beijing division reached the end of the year, the soldiers of the soldiers and horses guarding the city gate had a lot less work, and the people who came and went on weekdays were at home for the New Year, so the number of people naturally decreased.

When the weather is cold, the guards at the city gate are basking in the sun at the root of the wall, on the twelfth day of the twelfth lunar month, the weather is good, the sun is warm at the root of the wall, and a few veterans are chatting nonsense there, but they are also very happy, and they are talking.

In the distance, a group of more than a dozen horsemen and a carriage approached, and an old soldier who was sitting there muttered to his lips and stood up, swung his spear sideways, and shouted in a long voice:

"From there, the guide can take it."

Hearing the soldier's words, one of the knights on the side turned over and dismounted, took out the paperwork with a smile, and said:

"Master Jun, my master is a Xiucai from Liaoyang, this is a study tour in Beijing, this is a guide and document for an entourage!"

In the Ming Dynasty, there were all kinds of preferential treatment for scholars, Xiucai was a scholar with status, he could travel the world more easily with the certificate of identity, and he could also bring a lot of entourage out, and now the soldier guarding the city gate said that what he saw was a Xiucai named Jiang Huifeng, who lived in Liaoyang, and was ready to study in the world.

Look at the dozen or so horses that are quite good, the carriage is also a very new style, even the dozen or so entourages are dressed very well, it seems that the middle family of the Jingshi may not have such clothes, and the Xiucai named Jiang Huifeng who sat in the middle.

is about thirty-five years old, and there is a fierce power between the left and right, and it seems that he is not so much a show talent as a military general, and he is also tall and strong. Although the soldiers guarding the city secretly said in their hearts that they didn't know that the son of the wealthy family had come out to wander around again, they didn't have any doubts, the so-called 'sword tour the world', all the talents of this era who can wander outside are not weak people, the best example is that when Liu Liu and Liu Qi rebelled, the leader of another person, 'Zhao Maniac', was also born in Xiucai, but one person can deal with four or five rebels without falling behind.

After the inspection was completed quickly, the servant who dismounted to go through the formalities secretly stuffed two taels of silver into it for the soldiers who checked it, and the soldiers who were there immediately put the people into the city gate with a smile on their faces.

From beginning to end, a soldier guarding the gate was busy there, and several other people were squatting there, and one of them saw the action of stuffing silver, and as soon as the team entered the city gate, he shouted with a smile there:

"Lao Zhang, stew mutton and drink soju tonight, but you're in charge!"

Several people on the side laughed one after another, and the soldier was also happy to receive the broken silver, and after weighing it, he knew that it was about two taels more, threw it into the sky, took it in his hand, and said with a smile:

"Count me in tonight, let's get together as brothers."

Among the soldiers who were squatting there, there was always a person who paid attention to the group of people who had just entered the city, and followed him to the city gate to watch, and the old man shook his head when he saw this, and went over to pat the shoulder of the man standing at the city gate, and said in a serious tone:

"I said brother, come to us to guard the city gate, anyway, you can't die of hunger, and you don't have to be so suspicious, this is not your original yamen, besides, if there is a problem, from Liaoyang to us, how many cards and inspections are needed, if you want to check it out a long time ago, let's have a few drinks tonight."

The man who was still looking retracted his gaze, turned around and smiled and said to the old man:

"It's an old habit to run errands in Jinyiwei in the past, don't laugh at my brother, but I vaguely remember seeing that person just now, and I can't remember it clearly in my brain, forget it, no matter how ...... he is"

The discussion among the soldiers guarding the gate of the Beijing Division did not last long, and the conversation soon shifted to mutton and soju at night.

The "land inspection case" is not only the fall of officials, the beheading of the nobles, their old relatives and friends in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty have been purged, fortunately, Emperor Jiajing knows that the investigation and handling of this kind of thing has completely achieved the goal, no need to expand the scope, of course, this does not expand the meaning is not to kill the head and copy the family, many people still lose their official positions or are transferred from the hot yamen to other places, for example, this is an errand in the Jinyi guard yamen, but now he is a soldier guarding the city gate, he is implicated, But it's not deep.

He did see the person who seemed to be the son of a wealthy family who entered the city gate just now, it was nearly ten years ago, when Huifeng Tower was hot in Beijing, many people in Jinyiwei had seen that young man Dezhi, and Jiang Feng, the general banner of Jinyi Wei Nancheng, who was making gold every day.

Ten years have passed, and the unruly and fiery young man at that time is now the prince in charge, and the temperament of the whole body is already very different, and even the people who saw him back then are watching from afar, and the impression in his heart has either forgotten or has become very faint.

Moreover, in Daming, except for some big people along the coast and in the center, no one has heard of Jiang Feng's name.

According to the time, Jiang Feng has not stepped into the land of Daming for nearly six years, and for his trip, people who know about this matter are strongly opposed.

Whether it is Jiang Feng's mastermind Liu Twelve or Liu Shunhua, who is in charge of civil affairs, they are all opposing opinions, and Liu Twelve is very straightforward:

"Haven't you heard the allusion of the White Dragon Fish Suit, you entered the enemy territory so alone, where are the foundations of the three places, where are the millions of people, and where are the 100,000 soldiers!"

Jiang Feng has been a little accustomed to the allusions of these literati around him over the years, but he still thought about this white dragon fish suit for a while before he reacted, and couldn't help but say angrily:

"I'm not Sun Ce, and I won't make such an idiotic mistake."

When he said this, Luo Yi, as well as Liu Shunhua, and Zhao Xiucai were all in the room, Luo Yi didn't have any opinions, the martial artist looked at things more directly and simply, he felt that Jiang Feng went to Guanwai and went to Daming was the same, as long as he was in Huazhou, he just gave the governor a good home.

Liu Shunhua, who was sitting on the side, said in a deep voice:

"Lord Governor is the lord of the three lands, since the governor has already made up his mind, the subordinates do not dare to stop it, but they just want to give everyone in the house a reasonable reason......

Liu Shunhua is Jiang Feng's father-in-law, and is the Taishou of Huazhou, in Jiang Feng's system can be said to be a noble status, since he said so, it means that Jiang Feng wants to give this time to go deep into the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty to come up with a feasible reason, now Huazhou, Yizhou and the military, government and civil affairs outside the customs have a complete system, although they only call themselves the state capital, but in fact they are already independent of the Ming Dynasty.

The king of a country rashly went deep into the hinterland of hostile forces, which is too unreasonable from that aspect, but the authority of this supreme leader must also be maintained, so I asked him to give an explanation, Liu Shunhua's identity and relationship are there, Jiang Feng must make a gesture, clear his throat there, and say loudly:

"Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, in order to win a hundred battles, it has been six years since I left the Ming Dynasty, the changes within the Ming Dynasty in the past six years can be said to be earth-shaking, far from what I looked like when I left, the changes in the past six years turned out to be like a hundred years ago, although various ways are also known some, but such huge changes, you still have to observe with your own eyes, experience it yourself to know."

Everyone here has some understanding, Sima of the Governor's Mansion is engaged in the work of collecting intelligence, these former people in the rivers and lakes, and the smugglers are all active in Daming, and they constantly pass back all kinds of news through the merchant ships at sea, in the eyes of these people, these news are enough, why should Jiang Feng go there in person.

Jiang Feng had already seen everyone's expressions in his eyes, knowing that the reason just now did not convince everyone, there was always an opinion among these people, that is, Huazhou is getting stronger and stronger, and Daming is getting weaker and weaker.

But Jiang Feng knew that in fact, although Jiang Jiajun had made huge profits in sea trade, but the industry and commerce of the Ming Dynasty were also making a lot of money, and the relationship between the two sides was not a conflict, but a mutual benefit.

The population, mobilization capacity, and resources of the two sides are even more disparity, Jiang Feng believes that if the two sides go to war and the war machine of the Ming Dynasty starts, he will not have any advantage, after all, the current Jiajing Emperor is not the kind of emperor who can't receive any money except Tian Fu.

Moreover, the intelligence system on his side cannot analyze the weaknesses of the Ming Dynasty from the various complicated information of the military, government, industry and commerce of the Ming Dynasty, Jiang Feng wants to see for himself and see what fatal flaws there are in this huge empire.

After a period of silence, someone was about to open his mouth to refute, but Jiang Feng continued:

"There is another purpose for this trip, to find someone! Do you know that we are short of people in Huazhou, although Huazhou, outside the Guan, Yizhou three people are already more than two million, 30,000 soldiers, but do you know that among the two million people, there are only more than 400 talents, six people, now Huazhou, Yizhou many civilian officials are served by soldiers, this is not a long-term solution, if the world is won in the future, can it not be relied on them to defend it......
