Jiang Shangyan spent almost half a month, almost all over Jinghu County, everything he saw, made him depressed, all along, he thought that his hard work, not afraid of death, can make the people live a happy and healthy life, but the reality gave him a heavy blow.

The life of ordinary people is not better, but worse.

Why is this happening? He couldn't figure it out. In the Ming Dynasty, every time the soldiers hit a place, what followed was the great governance of that place, and the lives of the common people were like sesame seeds blooming, and they began to change at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In the Ming Dynasty, when he was stationed in Kaiping County, Kaiping County had just been recovered from the hands of the Qin people. In just one year, when the Baoqing Battalion to which he belonged was transferred out of Pingjun and stationed in Yongping, Kaiping County had undergone earth-shaking changes, and the people there were at least no longer worried about food and clothing.

Jiang Shangyan had always taken this for granted, and things were supposed to be like this, but now, the situation in the state of Chu had taught him a cruel lesson.

Not every place is like Daming.

Got there, went wrong?

During this time, he was not only watching, but also listening. From what he learned, the current situation of Jinghu County is actually quite good in Dachu. At least as the Wailey said, he could live. And in more places, even survival has become a luxury, and countless people who can't survive have risen up and started rebellions.

In the past, Jiang Shangyan hated those who rebelled very much, thinking that if it weren't for these people who made trouble, how could Da Chu be so difficult, and these people should be beaten down to eighteen layers of hell. But now, he suddenly realized that when even living was a luxury for a person, then why didn't he rebel?

In the more than a year since he returned to the Chu State, Jiang Shangyan has been buried in the army, either training the army or fighting outside, basically hearing and turning a blind eye to other things. But now, he suddenly understood, if it weren't for people like Wei Li who were working hard with all their might, and they were still supplying the army on the front line without enough food and clothing, how could they have supported until now?

Without these people, the army would be a source of water and a tree without roots, how could it survive for a long time?

Many places in Dachu are already in chaos, how long can Jinghu County be able to support it?

Jiang Shangyan was completely messy.

Leading the war horse, he walked on the way back in a little confusion, in Jinghu, except for the military camp, he had nowhere to go.

Maozhen, the important place where the Qi army was blocked, this small city that was almost destroyed into a blank land at that time, has now flourished again, but with the stability of the Jinghu War Zone, the destroyed city walls here have not been rebuilt, but houses have risen from the ground on top of the original ruins.

Now this is a place where merchants gather, and the merchants here are almost exclusively engaged in one kind of people's business, and that is the military. As a key point connecting Jinghu County, almost all those who return to the county town or leave the county town will rest in this small town about 50 miles away from the county town, which is also a transit point for all kinds of materials transported to the front line. However, with the capture of Wanzhou City, his importance has decreased significantly, and Jiang Shangyan knows very well that more profit-seeking merchants will leave this place, and here, it will inevitably be depressed.

Because there are very few aborigines here.

Walking on the street, out of Jiang Shangyan's surprise, the lively market in the past has been deserted a lot, although every shop, the restaurant is still open, but there are not many people in and out, many shops at the door, parked a carriage, some people dressed as men, are busy loading things on it, it seems to be moving.

"General Jiang!" A shout woke up Jiang Shangyan, who was in a trance, and he looked up to see a dark and thin middle-aged man at the door of the store, looking at him with some surprised expressions.

The other party's appearance is very familiar, Jiang Shangyan frowned and thought for a long time, and suddenly reacted to who the person in front of him was, and his face changed a little. This person's name is Tian Kang, and he is the deputy commander of the Ming Eagle's Nest, a guy who holds great power hidden in the dark. Others may not recognize him, but Jiang Shangyan has seen this person.

How could such an important person in Daming appear here, and he appeared in front of him with his true face, Jiang Shangyan knew that Qianmian, another important person in Daming's Eagle's Nest, was best at disguise, and the mask he made was almost to the point that it could be real, if Tian Kang didn't have another purpose, then he would never show his true face in front of him.

Jiang Shangyan suddenly understood that the other party was waiting for him here.

"Why are you here?" His face sank. But the place that the important people of the Eagle's Nest are concerned about is not a good thing for the people of the place itself.

Tian Kang smiled slightly: "General Jiang, it's been a long time, it's really a coincidence, if you come a day late, I'll leave here, or let's sit together for a while?" ”

Jiang Shangyan snorted, obviously deliberately waiting for himself here, and wanted to pretend to meet by chance to show others. He thought for a moment, threw the reins of his horse to an ordinary-looking fellow next to him, and walked inside.

Since Tian Kang is standing here, these ordinary guys are afraid that they are not ordinary at all.

The house was also full of things in large bags, and it looked like it was indeed going to move, Tian Kang took Jiang Shangyan into a small room inside, closed the door gently, and the hustle and bustle outside immediately disappeared from the ears of the two.

"Sit, I'll make tea!" Tian Kang smiled and said authentically.

Jiang Shangyan didn't talk nonsense, sat down and stared at Tian Kang, "You shouldn't be here." ”

Tian Kang smiled, made tea for Jiang Shangyan and brought it to the coffee table beside him, sat down too, looked at Jiang Shangyan and said, "General Jiang, why can't I appear here?" Now we know that Chu is an ally, and besides, I haven't done anything to endanger the Chu State when I'm here. ”

The devil believes it! Jiang Shangyan snorted coldly in his stomach, Cheng Shuai Ke said to him that Da Ming didn't have any good intentions towards Chu Guo, and he was vigorously supporting Chu State on the surface, and secretly he didn't know how many knives he stabbed Chu State, even if it was supported now, it was just to allow Da Chu to consume more of Qi State's strength.

"General Jiang has seen a lot of things along the way, right? It's described as very haggard, and there is probably not much money left in the purse! Tian Kang looked at Jiang Shangyan, "But General Jiang, now that Jinghu County is like this, how many people can you help alone, and now that Da Chu is like this, how much can you help?" ”

Jiang Shangyan Huo Ran changed color: "Tian Kang, you eagle's nest is following me?" He stared at Tian Kang angrily.

Tian Kang's expression was very calm, and he nodded directly: "Yes, General Jiang, we have always paid close attention to General Jiang." For the general's affairs, we also spare no effort to collect. ”

"What do you want to do?" Jiang Shangyan asked annoyedly.

"General Jiang, although the two of us have not fought side by side on the battlefield, but for our Daming, your General Jiang will always be our brother, you have returned to Dachu, but in Daming, there are still many brothers who will never forget you, especially the brothers in the Baoqing camp." Tian Kang said solemnly.

Jiang Shangyan's expression gradually calmed down, her head tilted slightly, but what flashed in her mind was those years in Daming, and unconsciously, there was a smile on the corner of her mouth.

Those years were indeed his happiest days.

"That's why you're following me?"

"Of course not." Tian Kang spread his hands: "The main thing is that Your Majesty is obsessed with the general, let us report to him at any time on General Jiang's recent situation, you know, if Your Majesty hadn't seen you kneeling outside the palace for too long, you might have been frozen and crippled, you, come back from rest." ”

Jiang Shangyan sighed, His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty is indeed a Ming lord, and he has always been very good to him.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for me!" He whispered.

Tian Kang looked at Jiang Shangyan and said after a while: "General Jiang, you have been wandering around all this time, I'm afraid you don't know some news yet, right?" ”

"What's the news?" Jiang Shangyan sat up straight all of a sudden, looking at Tian Kang's expression, he felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

"Cheng Dashuai is gone!" Tian Kang said word by word.

Jiang Shangyan's body stiffened suddenly, and after a while, he said in a trembling voice: "Here in Jinghu, there is no news coming out. You don't want to talk nonsense. ”

Tian Kang glanced at Jiang Shangyan with a hint of pity.

"Naturally, there is no disclosure, but if General Jiang, you go to the county town now to see Bian Wushuang and Suqian them, you will naturally know. Cheng Dashuai has no news, and everything that should be known is already known. And on the public newspaper, the news is that Cheng Dashuai has been tired in the past few years, and he fell ill when he returned to the capital and is recuperating in the mansion. In fact, the big marshal didn't even go to the gate of the capital before he entered it. Tian believes that in the next few days, Cheng Dashuai's illness will gradually become serious, and the news that the medicine stone will eventually become ineffective and die will be slowly released one after another. ”

Jiang Shangyan straightened up, without a trace of expression on his face, and glared at Tian Kang. "Why didn't you have a handsome?"

"Fifty miles away from the capital, the emperor's secret envoy met with Luo Liang with the marshal, a word of mouth, a pot of poisonous wine. The handsome couple were both killed, and those who entered the city were actually only the remains of the handsome couple. Tian Kang said.

With a bang, Jiang Shangyan smashed the coffee table next to him with a punch, gritted his teeth tightly, and wisps of blood flowed from the corners of his mouth. After Tian Kang's mouth said this news, he would not suspect that it was false at all.
