Chapter 110: A Lost Friend
Chen Di listened to Zhao Wenhua's words, and his lungs were about to explode! The Eight Formations of the Iron Bucket King is the magic weapon of the Flying Tiger Army's repeated victories over the Japanese Bandits. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info That Zhu Houjun actually said that the formation used a variety of weapons to insult the army? Is the army used to see or to fight?
Chen Di asked Zhao Wenhua again: "When I left Zhejiang, the Flying Tiger Army had a considerable number of guns and cannons. Did Lord Zhao ever see the Flying Tiger Army when he was patrolling? β
Zhao Wenhua replied: "Commander Zhu said that the guns and artillery are all strange tricks. To go into battle and fight, you still have to see blood with real knives and guns! So all the artillery guns were sealed up by him! β
"What?!" Chen Di was so angry that he threw the tea bowl on the ground!
This Zhu Houjun is really a complete bastard. Chen Di painstakingly planned to build the Flying Tiger Army into a firearms army that surpassed the times, and Zhu Houjun actually went against the tide to beat the Flying Tiger Army back to the original form of the cold weapon army!
Zhao Wenhua persuaded Chen Di: "Don't be angry! I advise you, since you have left Zhejiang, don't worry about Zhejiang's affairs anymore! Not in his position, not in his politics! I heard that the emperor has decreed that you will be the head of the Hanlin Academy, isn't it very good! The lifelong dream of many scholars is to be able to enter the Hallym Academy! Entering the Hanlin Academy is the supreme honor of every scholar in my Ming Dynasty! What's more, you're going to be a master! β
Chen Di was silent. Regardless of Zhejiang's business? Do you sit back and watch the Japanese invaders slaughter the people of Zhejiang?
After sending Zhao Wenhua away, Chen Di angrily found Jiang Guang, the squire of the military department.
"Lord Jiang, let me ask you, are all the Ming armies under the command of the military department?" Chen Di asked Jiang Guangdao.
Jiang Guang nodded: "This is nature." β
Chen Di said: "Then the Flying Tiger Army in Zhejiang should also obey the orders of the Ministry of War?" β
Jiang Guang nodded again: "The Flying Tiger Army is also the official army of the Ming Dynasty, so naturally it should listen to the Ministry of War." β
Chen Di said to Jiang Guang: "The new commander of the Flying Tiger Army commanded the soldiers indiscriminately, discarded a large number of firearms, and did not use the exquisite formations, but let the soldiers practice useless spearsγγγγγγ β
Jiang Guangdao: "Master Horse, since the Flying Tiger Army has changed its generals, you still don't bother to ask about the Flying Tiger Army!" That Zhu Houjun is a member of the royal family, how does he want to train the Flying Tiger Army, our military department is not good at pointing fingers! β
Chen Di pondered for a moment, calmed down, and said: "Alas, pity my Flying Tiger Army, which is obviously an elite army, but it is going to be taken into a fish belly division by this straw bag Zhu Houjun!" β
Chen Di knew that he had come to the military department on impulse. No matter how much trouble with Jiang Guang is, it won't change anything.
Could it really be that Emperor Jiajing would reactivate him and let him re-command the Flying Tiger Army until Zhejiang fell?
Chen Di returned to the house with a stomach full of anger. Xiaoqing, Xiaobai, Xiaohong, Old Butler Yan, and Liang Erhei were waiting for him to eat.
Chen Di didn't say a word, sat down and began to eat. Several people present saw that Chen Di was in a bad mood, and no one dared to speak.
As soon as he finished eating, Lu Fang led hundreds of fathers-in-law and palace maids to the Earl's Palace.
Lu Fang said to Chen Di: "Master Ma, there are still ten days left for your wedding with the princess, and today the miscellaneous family specially brought someone to decorate your mansion!" β
Chen Di arched his hand and said: "How dare you bother Grandpa Lu for some trivial things?" β
Lu Fang said with a smile: "Princess Xiaoyan's wedding is not a trivial matter!" At that time, all the officials in the capital will come to congratulate, and even the emperor may come in person! Even if the miscellaneous family has a hundred guts, they don't dare to slack off! β
Chen Di said: "Then there is Lao Lu's father-in-law!" β
Lu Fang led a group of eunuchs and palace maids to be busy, and after wiping the Earl's Mansion up and down, he replaced it with red silk and red lanterns everywhere.
Chen Di was very upset. He suddenly thought that in the Beizhen Fusi Prison, isn't there still a teacher of his own, Hu Yuanchun? After returning to Beijing, he forgot about his mentor.
Chen Di found Lu Fang: "Father-in-law Lu, I want to go to Beizhen Fusi Prison to see my old friend." β
Lu Fang complimented Chen Di and said: "Although the master of the horse is rich, it is really rare to not forget his friends when he was in trouble!" You take the miscellaneous family's waist card to the edict, there is a miscellaneous family's waist card, no one will stop you. β
Chen Di came to the edict with Lu Fang's waist card, but saw that Hu Yuanchun's original cell was empty!
Chen Di asked the jailer: "What about Hu Yuanchun, the criminal officer who was originally imprisoned here?" β
The jailer replied, "I've been released and gone home this morning!" β
Chen Di was shocked, this Hu Yuanchun has been locked up in the edict prison for decades, how could he suddenly be released and go home?
Chen Di asked the jailer: "Do you know where Hu Yuanchun's family lives?" β
The jailer shook his head: "Little one doesn't know. I only know that Hu Yuanchun's hometown is from Hubei, so he should go back to his hometown in Hubei, right? β
Chen Di asked again: "Hu Yuanchun was just released in the morning?" β
The jailer replied, "Exactly! β
It seems that he and Hu Yuanchun will rarely have the opportunity to meet in the future. Chen Di entered the cell, nostalgic for the time he spent with Hu Yuanchun. saw a line of small characters by Hu Yuanchun on the wall: "Little friend Chen Di, the old man has been released and returned home." In his hometown in Hubei, he has no relatives or friends. Therefore, he planned to live in the capital. If you want to see me, you can go to Buku Hutong to find me. β
Buku Alley? It turned out that Hu Yuanchun did not return to Hubei!
Chen Di came to Buku Hutong again, and at the mouth of the alley, he saw an old man holding a few bricks to repair the broken courtyard wall. This person is Hu Yuanchun!
Chen Di walked forward quickly and patted Hu Yuanchun on the shoulder.
Hu Yuanchun exclaimed: "It turned out to be your little thing!" β
Chen Di smiled: "I said Mr. Hu, you are exonerated, but you didn't come to my house to look for me." β
Hu Yuanchun said with a smile: "You are now a celebrity in front of the emperor, the head of the Hanlin Academy, and you will soon be a concubine." In the entire Ming Dynasty, you may be the only one who can be so saintly! How embarrassed am I to go to your house to climb the high branches! β
Chen Di said: "You old man, you are still so stubborn! Come on, I found you so easily, this is how you, the former emperor, entertained guests? β
Hu Yuanchun led Chen Di into the house. Hu Yuanchun chuckled and said: "There are guests who come to worship tea as wine, but I don't even have tea here!" Let's make do with some boiled water! β
Chen Di was angry all day long, and his mouth was very thirsty. He raised the broken bowl and drank the boiled water: "Oh, it's so happy!" β
Chen Di asked Hu Yuanchun: "Old man Hu, how did you get acquitted?" Tell me about it? β
Hu Yuanchun said: "This is thanks to that Xia Yan Xia Shoufu!" I've been locked up for decades, and he still remembers the township test, and it was I who ordered him to make a name for himself! He made my affairs holy to God. The saint said that even if he was guilty, he had already suffered for decades. Then an edict was issued to allow me to be released and pensioned! β
Chen Di said: "Alas, I didn't expect Xia Yan's old stubbornness to miss the old love so much. β
Hu Yuanchun said: "I see that your kid is angry, what's wrong?" β
Chen Di told Hu Yuanchun how Emperor Jiajing ordered to be taken under the command of the Flying Tiger Army, and how the new commander Zhu Houjun led the troops indiscriminately.
