Zhu Youzhen was persuaded by Shang Shu Tian Ji of the Ministry of War, and finally made up his mind, "If you go outside, you must first settle inside." If he doesn't get rid of Wei Zhongxian under his nose, he can't eat enough and can't sleep, like a fish in his throat and a manga on his back.

A few days later, King Fu of Luoyang came up, and King Xiao Fu confessed his guilt bitterly. However, he did not admit that he had a self-respecting army and entered the capital. Instead, he blamed himself for not disciplining his subordinates well, and in a book of repentance of thousands of words, Xiaofu Wang Yang sprinkled thousands of words of repentance, describing his soldiers and horses as entering Beijing to ask for rewards after their meritorious service, and described the most egregious problem of supporting soldiers and self-respect as the corruption of military discipline of newly recruited soldiers.

Regarding his recital, Zhu Youzhen sneered and threw it on the ground, not believing a word. However, the will of the imperial court came down immediately, and he expressed his appreciation for King Fu's "gust of wind", of course, because the court was poor, it must have been only a verbal reward. The soldiers and horses of the original "gust of wind" must immediately withdraw from Kaifeng, dismiss the displaced people who rebelled from the thieves, and return to their hometowns for resettlement, and the court will not be held accountable.

As for the backbone of the "gust of wind" and the soldiers who had nowhere to go, they were transferred to Heishidu, Henan Prefecture, Yue Chenfeng was the general, Wang Jun was the deputy general, and the others had no official positions. Zhu Youzhen's move was very insidious, he originally wanted to plant this time bomb near Luoyang, as long as they rebelled again, Luoyang would suffer. It's a pity that the intelligence system of the imperial court is firmly in the hands of Wei Zhongxian, who is not treated well by him, and he doesn't know the relationship between this gang of rogues and King Xiaofu.

In the palace of King Fu of Luoyang, Zhu Yousong laughed with the holy decree and shouted "I don't have to worry about it". He was afraid that the emperor would deal with him, but in fact, the emperor was not afraid that he would suddenly attack when he dealt with Wei Zhongxian. In my impression, Chongzhen succeeded to the throne and it took two or three months to completely settle Wei Zhongxian, and in these months, his Luoyang was not in danger. But Zhu Yousong also knew that once Wei Zhongxian fell, his stable days would come to an end.

So he decided that he must make preparations first, Luoyang is his base camp, there are soldiers, horses, guns and cannons, but his industry in other places is about to face a catastrophe. So from the time of Kaifeng, Zhu Yousong decided to go to the south to help the Zou brothers establish a force that was not afraid of the imperial court. At this time, the Daming Sailor was mainly guarding against the Japanese people in the north, and the demons were dancing on the sea in the south. As long as you can occupy a place in the South China Sea, you can be a wealthy businessman and a giant when you retreat, and you can be a giant thief across the sea.

Last time, Zhu Yousong went out of Luoyang and almost died when he went to Xuzhou, but this time he was going to the south, thousands of miles away, and the cronies of the palace tried their best to dissuade him. But Zhu Yousong is different from other lords, he has absolute authority in this group of people, and no one can really stop him from what he is determined to do. As soon as everyone saw that the dissuasion was ineffective, they demanded that they must bring enough manpower, but Zhu Yousong vetoed it again. Now he has too many enemies, if Wei Zhongxian's Jinyi Wei finds out his traces, that is the way to die.

brought a always capable Zhang Yuanhua and his subordinates, as well as dozens of guards carefully selected by Zhao Hong in the palace who were strong in martial arts and alert, disguised as merchants heading south. With the protection of these people, the south is relatively peaceful now, and there will be no danger easily, and everyone is a little relieved.

When passing through Heishidu, Zhu Yousong took someone to visit his father-in-law by the way, Yue Chenfeng heard that he was going to go far away, shook his head, and said worriedly: "Fu Ba, your life is not suitable for long travel, every time there are many disasters and difficulties, let everyone be afraid, I think it is better to send someone." ”

Zhu Yousong couldn't cry or laugh, and said: "Father-in-law, this matter is very important, if I don't go in person, it's hard to rest assured." Zhu Yousong insisted on going in person, and he had his own reasons. No one knew what he was thinking, and if the Zou brothers were allowed to be in the south, they might follow the instincts of merchants and make endless fortunes. But these riches will be like duckweed, once the court is in trouble, all of them will come to naught, and they will even be used by the court against themselves.

Yue Yingying was full of interest, clapped her hands and said, "Okay, I've never been to Jiangnan." ”

Zhu Yousongqi said: "Yingying, who said you are going too?" ”

Yue Yingying's eyebrows were raised, her crescent-like eyes narrowed into a slit, and she looked at her and asked, "What do you say?" ”

Zhu Yousong had a sense of danger, his back was cold, and he said: "I'm going, I'm going, I'm here to pick you up this time." Yue Yingying turned her anger into joy, and after giving him a big white eye, she said: "Daddy, don't talk endlessly, Fuba is such a big person, can you still stay in the house and not go out." Besides, with me here, you can rest assured. ”

Yue Chenfeng shook his head helplessly, and said, "Since you insist on going, I will choose a few reliable people for you to take with you, after all, it is good to take care of things when you go out." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that the brothers in the hall were all looking at him with eager eyes, as if to say, "Choose me, choose me." Yue Chenfeng scolded with a smile: "Look at your appearance, none of you have ever seen me in the world." ”

Ge Jiu hurriedly said: "Big brother, the brothers have all traveled through the south and the north before, except for the eighth and sixth brothers who were folded in the hands of the officers and soldiers last time, but I have never been to Jiangnan, don't rob me if you are brothers." ”

Yue Chenfeng looked at it, and indeed no one robbed him, and said, "Then you are not allowed to cause trouble, you will listen to Fuba on the road." ”

Ge Jiu was overjoyed, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, big brother, I promise to bring my uncle back completely and safely, and I won't lose a single or two meats." Coming out of Heishidu, Zhu Yousong's army of "merchants" had dozens of big men, these people were bright-eyed, their steps were steady, and their bodies were sturdy.

After the group came to Xuzhou, Zhu Yousong sent Zhang Yuanhua to rent a big boat, board the ship at Xuzhou Port, carry a full load of goods, and go south along the canal.

On the wide river, this big ship with eight sails in front and behind, puffed up its sails, and stirred up layers of waves all the way. Yue Yingying stood at the bow of the boat, her clothes fluttering, her slender legs were fully displayed by the wind, and her waist was slender but not bending, as firm as the round outline of her chest. The sideburns fluttering in the wind are close to the ears, standing proudly in the wind and waves, and the elegance is peerless!

Zhu Yousong walked over slowly, took off the cloak on his body, wrapped it around her, and said with a smile: "Don't be handsome here, the sky will be hot and cold in the evening, be careful of the wind and cold." ”

Yue Yingying turned around and smiled, and said softly, "Fuba, I haven't been on a boat yet." Besides, I'm different from you, how can I get sick so easily. By the way, what does it mean to be handsome? ”

Zhu Yousong dotingly helped her cut her hair, hugged her off the bow of the boat, and said, "Be handsome, that's what you look like now." ”
