Zheng Sen stayed in Nanking for another two days, visited some friends, and then boarded the ship again, except that there was a handsome young man and his scholar among the entourage. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The Anjiang continued to swim upstream, and it was also only three days before arriving at Anqing. The Anjiang docked at the Anqing Wharf, but Zheng Sen did not get off the boat, but just asked Zheng Fu to get off the boat and rent two cars. They remained on the boat for the night, and the next morning, two donkey carts arrived at the docks.

"Young Master, it's these two cars." Zheng Fu glanced at Zheng Sen, and seemed to be a little worried that he thought the car was too shabby, and it was not a horse but a donkey that pulled the cart, so he said: "Young Master, this side is much poorer than Nanjing, and there are no horses." Some time ago, there were still rogues who passed here, and when the officers and soldiers pursued the rogues, they took away all the horses and other things in the city, so ...... Moreover, the road here is not as peaceful as that in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, if it looks too luxurious, the villain is afraid of causing trouble. ”

Zheng Sen nodded and said, "Uncle Fu, you are an old adult. We can rest assured that you will do something. Besides, Tongcheng is not far from Anqing, if it weren't for their inability to walk, we would have walked all the way to Anqing, in fact, it was nothing. If you want to be true, there are not many of you who can walk better than me. ”

Zheng Sen is not boasting, since he crossed over to this era, Zheng Sen has really never relaxed about the exercise of his body. In Beigang, every morning, he has to run five kilometers with the students of Beigang Military School.

A few people got off the boat and came to the donkey cart, and the donkey's strength was naturally not as strong as the horse, and besides, the two carts were only pulled by one donkey, and the cart was naturally very small, and it could barely sit two people. Li Xiangjun and Huan'er naturally got into one car, and Zheng Sen got into another car. As for the other seven or eight followers, they had to follow on foot.

But even in the car, in fact, it is not comfortable, there is only one bench in this donkey cart, compared to Zheng Sen in Beigang used to use the four-wheeled carriage with spring suspension and soft seats, the comfort level of this fully rigid suspension donkey cart is really poor, especially most roads in this era are so-called non-paved roads, which are naturally bumpy and bumpy. Zheng Sen almost immediately remembered Mr. Lu Xun's article on Confucius's examination that Confucius often took a carriage because he traveled around the world, and as a result, "he had a heavy bag of pasta in his stomach, and he sat in the cart and walked on the road with seven highs and eight lows. Zheng Sen felt that if he stayed in this car and bumped around, he was afraid that he would also have stomach problems.

Zheng Sen thought again, it seems that during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the nobles rode in the car, and they all stood on their backs and did not sit. To be honest, in this kind of car with completely rigid suspension, it is still more comfortable to stand. It's just that the roof of this donkey cart is very low, and it can't stand up in it at all. So, Zheng Sen, who was really unbearable, had to stop the donkey cart, and then got down from it and walked on foot with everyone. Seeing that the donkey cart suddenly stopped, and then Zheng Sen jumped off the donkey cart, Zheng Fu hurriedly went over and asked:

"Childe, why did you come down?"

"It's too stuffy inside this car, and it's too bumpy, it's better to walk comfortably." Zheng Sen shook his arm, kicked his leg again, and said, "Uncle Fu, you can go up and sit down and try it yourself." My whole body was numb. By the way, I guess they're choking on a bumpy enough, so let's take a break, drink some water and go. ”

According to the plan, Zheng Sen and his entourage are going to Huaining County today, Huaining is not too far from Anqing, but seventy miles, that is, ordinary people, can go in one day, and for Zheng Sen's followers, walking more than seventy miles a day is not a big deal. So it's okay to stop and take a break more.

So the group stopped, and Zheng Sen walked to the donkey cart behind and helped Li Xiangjun get out of the car. They drank some water and ate some dry food, and then went on their way. Li Xiangjun and Huan'er are both small-footed, so naturally they can only sit in the car, while Zheng Sen said that he would not get into the car and suffer again, so he followed and walked next to Li Xiangjun's donkey cart, chatting with her with a hitch.

In this way, in the afternoon of the same day, the group rushed to Huaining. Originally, according to Zheng Sen's habits, they could leave for Tongcheng immediately the next day, but this time with Li Xiangjun and Huan'er, the two of them were obviously very tired after this day's travel, and they were almost unable to move. Seeing that Li Xiangjun still wanted to hold on strongly, Zheng Sen declared that he was also tired and needed to rest for a day before leaving. So there was another day of delay on the road, and it was only on the third day that I arrived in Tongcheng.

The Fang family is also a big family in Tongcheng, and there have been Jinshi for several generations, and their house occupies almost half of the street. It's easy to find. Zheng Sen and the others didn't make much effort to find a place.

Hearing that Zheng Sen was coming, Fang Yizhi was naturally overjoyed, hurriedly greeted him, and asked someone to call Gu Jiang, and smiled at Zheng Sen: "I've been looking forward to Damu coming over for a long time, but I can be regarded as looking forward to you." It's good that you're here, and the people of the province are arguing with people again. ”

Zheng Sen listened and said strangely: "Who is Ning arguing with?" ”

"It's not like I got into trouble with Hou Chaozong because of your book. As a result, the real fire was found, alas...... Oh, by the way, but this is not the time to talk about it. Let's have a cup of tea with me first, and then we can relieve my fatigue. ”

Then he turned to Li Xiangjun who was standing aside and smiled: "Since Xiangjun returned from Taiwan, he has been living upstairs and has not seen guests. A few days ago, even Hou Chaozong had a closed door at your place. Now he has followed Damu to the rivers and lakes and arrived here...... Sure enough, since ancient times, beauties love heroes. ”

Li Xiangjun blushed slightly, but did not answer, and Zheng Sen could only smile. Several people walked into the living room while talking, and at this time, Zheng Sen's entourage was also taken to rest by the people of the Fang family, and only Li Xiangjun followed with Huan'er.

At this time, Gu Jiang also rushed over, and when he saw Zheng Sen, he was also overjoyed and said, "You are here, how is it in Luzon now?" Also, do you have any new ideas now? ”

"Ningren, Damu and Xiangjun are far away, and the saddle horse is tired, and they always want to let the family rest and talk about things, do you say yes or no? How can we meet like this. Fang Yizhi interjected.

And there is a good reason for that. But it's not mine. Gu Jiang also nodded, and said, "It's just that others are okay, but I know Damu's body, these rushes, changing others, naturally have to be tired and lie down, after changing Damu, I guess Damu is actually not too tired, right?" ”

Gu Jiang and Zheng Sen fought against the Spaniards at sea for many months, and of course he knew Zheng Sen's physical condition.

"Brother Ning Ren is right, plus we still have another day of rest in Huaining, so we are really not too tired." Zheng Sen also smiled.

"Da Mu came all the way today, how can he not be tired? But it's just a matter of being strong. Li Xiangjun said.

"Oki came all the way?" Fang Yizhi was taken aback.

"I originally rented a car, but I didn't want the car to be so bumpy that I couldn't stand it, so I might as well go." Zheng Sen said, "Actually, it's not too tired, but there is one thing that will disappoint Ning Ren, that is, I haven't read much recently, and I don't have any new ideas." However, as you know, before I came, I went to see Mr. Makisai. I also sent our book to my husband, and he has a lot of good ideas. And it's all annotated in the book, and now I've brought all those annotations, if Brother Ning Ren is interested, you can take a look. ”

Gu Jiang listened, nodded and said, "But I just want to read it." In addition, Damu is so busy now, but he came here at this time, what is it for? ”

"I did have something to do when I came here this time, but it's a bit complicated to say." Zheng Sen said, "Well, Mr. Mizhi, Brother Ning Ren, what do you think of Yang Sichang?" ”

"Woe to the country!" Before Gu Jiang could speak, Fang Yizhi first shouted loudly.

Zheng Sen knew that because of his opposition to Zhao'an Zhang Xianzhong, Fang Yizhi's father, who was the governor of Huguang at the time, offended Yang Sichang, and later Zhang Xianzhong rebelled, but Yang Sichang had already transferred the nearby Ming army, and as a result, Fang Kongzhi was defeated by Zhang Xianzhong, and then Yang Sichang threw all the defeated pots on Fang Kongzhi, and the harmful Fang Kongzhi almost lost his head. In the end, although he was rescued by many parties, he was still degraded to Shaoxing. Therefore, Fang Yizhi naturally hated this person to the core.

When Gu Jiang heard this, he also nodded and said, "I think this person is stubborn and self-serving, and whoever disagrees with him will frame him." It is indeed a traitor to the country. It is rumored that Mr. Lu Jiutai was framed by this person. Poor Mr. Lu fought and died for the country, Yang Sichang even slandered Mr. Jiutai for abandoning the army and absconding, it is really unpopular! ”

"Actually, this is not the worst thing about Yang Sichang." Zheng Sen shook his head and said, "The most evil thing about Yang Sichang is that he does what the king likes, and uses the Daming Jiangshan Society to take risks in exchange for his personal status. ”

After saying this, Zheng Sen looked at Fang Yizhi and Gu Jiang again, and then said: "Mr. Mizhi, Yang Sichang's 'four positive and six corners, ten sides of the net', once also achieved remarkable results, and the rogues in various places were either destroyed or lowered, and the remaining ten are not one of them." Why are there such results? In fact, it is just exhausting the national strength to strike a blow at it, and it wants to succeed in a blow. However, before Yang Sichang, why did no one come out here? It is too risky to cover this strategy, and if we do our best to strike a blow, if we miss a blow, our national strength will be exhausted, and the society will be in danger. And the Jingshi was forced by Jianji, not for a day. If Yang Sichang wanted to carry out the strategy of 'four squares and six corners, and ten sides of the net', he had to mobilize the strength of Gyeonggi's defense, so Gyeonggi would inevitably be empty. If Jianxuan takes this opportunity to kill, Gyeonggi will be in danger! Children know this reason, can Yang Sichangan not know? Yang Sichang actually intended to make peace with the slave chief Huang Taiji, using this as a delaying tactic, in order to destroy the rogue before Huang Taiji understood. But I don't want Huang Taiji to be cunning, how can he be easily fooled? He made peace with Huang Taiji because he wanted to slow down Huang Taiji's soldiers, but he didn't want to, Huang Taiji made peace with him, but it was also so that he could drain the troops of Gyeonggi. When he transferred Gyeonggi troops, he could really be sure that Hwang Tae-gil had been fooled? Hehe, for the sake of personal merit, this person does not hesitate to use my Ming dynasty's national fortune to bet on whether Huang Taiji is a fool. Putting one's personal status and fame on the Daming Jiangshan Sheji, and using the Jiangshan Shejibo for one's own selfishness, this is the real great evil. ”
