261 Letters from the Family
Yan Song wanted to ask his former henchmen for some entanglement, but at this time, no one dared to open the door for him, and even the temple was unwilling to contain him, so he had to take off his brocade robe and change into coarse cloth clothes, a cane, a bowl, and a water bag.
On crutches, in the direction of his hometown, he began to beg, knelt down, and begged for a mouthful of food and a bowl of water.
All he wanted was to go to his hometown and die next to his deceased wife.
Everyone was very tacit, no one went to embarrass the old man, no assassination, no poisoning, no insult, because they knew that for this old man, every moment of his life would be painful, let him suffer longer.
In the midst of this turmoil, the Yan Party scattered. And within the Yan Mansion, only one family did not disperse, but was caught from one fire pit to another.
Yang Shouquan's family, from the boundaries of the Yan family, was taken to the territory of the Xu family, freedom is temporary, and house arrest is necessary. From beginning to end, Yang Shouquan and his wife never asked questions such as why and where to go. Although Xu Jie's accommodation is a little smaller, it is better oriented.
Unexpectedly, Xu Jie personally summoned Yang Changgui, talked a few words and liked him very much, and he was promoted to enter the country for further study. Yang Changgui didn't have time to mourn for Yan Hong, who appreciated him, so he inexplicably got on a new boat. He has completely figured out that his fate is never in his own hands, and all he can do is continue to study and study hard.
Fortunately, there are countless books in the country.
The dust of the death struggle between Korea and China has finally come to an end, but the southeast uprising is intensifying.
The Flying Dragon Kingdom attacked several cities in Guangdong, built the imperial palace with Raoping as the center, cultivated good fields, was unstoppable, supported more than 100,000 troops, and the soldiers attacked Fujian, Guangdong and Jiangxi in three ways. The officers and soldiers of the Sanlu County Guard, seeing the flying dragon flag or fleeing or surrendering, almost none of them resisted, the people of the three places embroidered the flying dragon flag, only waiting for the flying dragon country to attack when the rod was revealed, and for a while, the flying dragon country was prosperous, and the three provinces were shocked.
As the great man said, the spark can start a prairie fire, the Ming Dynasty has never been short of uprisings, but like the rapid development of the Flying Dragon Kingdom, the officers and soldiers have no will to fight, and it is rare for the people to embroider flags and look forward to uprisings, which shows the depth of the strict party and the country. The officers and men were corrupt and weak, and the people were dissatisfied, and this year broke out completely.
In July, Lin Zhaoxi visited Moss Bay again. This time it was a secret visit, and he didn't make any noise, Yang Changfan was afraid of falling into the handle, and he didn't want to have too much intersection with the Flying Dragon Kingdom, so he only met with Xu Wenchang privately.
Last time, it was all kinds of high-sounding rhetoric, but this time, it was about facts.
I haven't seen him for a few months, Lin Chaoxi came to Moss Bay Mansion, and he was not as shocked as the last time, plus the rapid development of the Flying Dragon Country, which made him feel a little more confident again, and he was a little more proud between his words.
At least from the perspective of the territory, the Flying Dragon Kingdom has far surpassed the Huiwang Mansion, of course, this is without counting the ocean territory.
Lin Chaoxi got straight to the point this time, and sat on the seat unabashedly: "Emperor Zaoli is willing to work with the owner of the ship to plan the world." ”
The most undisguised thing about this is that Emperor Li wants to plan the world with the shipowner, not the Huiwang Mansion.
Without waiting for the other side to answer, Lin Chaoxi continued: "Now I am the three-way army of the Flying Dragon Country, everywhere I go, the thieves flee from the wind, the people open the city to greet them, and the unification of Jiangxi and Fujian is close at hand. ”
The ideal is very plump!
The Flying Dragon Kingdom does have a reason for self-confidence, the three-way army is pushed in three ways, whether it is the support of the people or the defeat of the Ming army, it has boosted their momentum, not to mention Guangdong and Fujian, the world can also eat for you.
Presumably the former Li Zicheng was also like this, the uprising was much simpler than imagined, as long as he grabbed a gap.
Yang Changfan only didn't feel pain and said: "I wish the Flying Dragon Kingdom to dominate the world as soon as possible." ”
"Doesn't the shipowner have any idea about the world?" Lin Chaoxi raised his eyebrows, "If the Flying Dragon Kingdom and the Huiwang Mansion join forces, and let the land and sea go to the sea, there will be no place for the Ming thief." ”
Xu Wenchang asked vigilantly, "Does Emperor Zaoli want us to send troops?" ”
"Mr. Xu is really clever." Lin Chaoxi said sincerely, "Now that the Zhejiang soldiers are pouring into Fujian, Zhejiang is the time of emptiness, if the Hui Wangfu sends ships and troops, Wenzhou, Taizhou, and Ningbo are at your fingertips!" Emperor Li is willing to share Zhejiang with the Huiwang Mansion and share the world! ”
Yang Changfan immediately replied: "Our sergeants are good at water affairs, not land warfare, and the number of soldiers is not as large as that of the Flying Dragon Country, so we really can't beat Zhejiang." ”
Lin Chaoxi pursed his lips and chuckled: "The shipowner should not have said this, he could still burn Hangzhou back then, let alone today?" ”
Yang Changfan followed with a smile: "Indeed, I am confident that I can take one city and one pool, but I have no confidence in keeping it for a long time, so I am burning Hangzhou, not occupying Hangzhou." ”
"Today is different, with my Flying Dragon Country, the thieves are just a rabble, even Nanjing can be defended."
"In that case, I'll be blunt." Yang Changfan had no intention of fighting again, and directly clarified his position, "I have the Huiwang Mansion, and I have no interest in the land of the Ming Dynasty." ”
"......" Lin Chaoxi showed a surprised and embarrassed expression.
In his eyes, rebellion is nothing more than to claim the king and dominate the world, and isn't the world the land of the Ming Dynasty?
Yang Changfan is nothing more than that, just a water thief who occupies an island and builds a village.
"Doesn't the owner think about it anymore?"
Yang Changfan shook his head: "Have you eaten it?" I told the kitchen to cook some barbecue seafood? ”
"Not necessarily." Lin Chaoxi got up, "Since the owner of the ship has no ambition to swallow the world, there is no need to talk about it anymore." ”
"I hope that the Flying Dragon Kingdom will dominate the world as soon as possible."
Seeing Lin Chaoxi leave angrily, Xu Wenchang snickered: "They are also afraid." ”
"I don't think so, I don't think they're afraid of anyone."
"Then why did you ask us to contain the Zhejiang soldiers?"
"This is the most normal strategy, reduce the positive pressure, Zhejiang is more important than Fujian, if we really occupy Wenzhou, the hard battle on the front line will immediately become ours."
"I'm still afraid, I'm afraid that I won't be able to defeat the Zhejiang soldiers." Xu Wenchang smiled slightly, "But the imperial court seems to be scared too." ”
"yes."
The two sat down again, and the discussion was far from over, because just a day earlier, the imperial court had put forward a similar idea, but it was not proposed by any court official, but by a young man, Yang Changgui.
Since Yang Changfan burned Hangzhou to board the ship's owner, he drew a line with his family, and Yang Changgui never dared to write a letter, for fear of having anything to do with it. But not long after Yan Shifan's death, a letter from home actually reached Moss Bay.
In the letter, Yang Changgui was sincere, first talking about his parents' advanced age and wanting to return to their hometown, but they couldn't do it. Talk about the strict party has been calmed, the government is back on track, and then talk about the general trend of the world, the people are in hardship, if Yang Changfan still thinks of his family and the people of his homeland, please reply. He believed that as long as Yang Changfan was willing to send troops to suppress the thieves, the imperial court would inevitably give the Huiwang Mansion a name. (To be continued.) )
