Compared with the tense atmosphere in Shengjing, Jinling seems to have more flavor and atmosphere of the New Year.

Nearly two months ago, this place has been captured by the Second Brigade of the Beihai Volunteer Army, and after Li Guoxin, the commander of the three feudal domains in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, was killed, this land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River and a tax area has been firmly controlled by Chen Yejun.

At this time, there was already a large number of handicrafts here, with salt, silk, grain and some handicraft products as the main components, and the industry and commerce were also quickly restored.

The local government has been taken over by the volunteers, and their ties with the three feudatories have been completely severed.

Half a month ago, the Beihai Division led by Feng Zijing eliminated the last of the Three Naval Divisions in the Yangtze River basin and declared that they had all control over the Yangtze River channel.

So far, in addition to a small number of remnants of the three feudatories in the more remote areas, the Beihai Volunteer Army has fully controlled the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions, and then occupied most of the important towns and military places such as Anhui, Hubei, and Jiangxi.

Since there was no longer a strong enemy, the 2nd Brigade was divided into parts, and with companies as units, it attacked all parts of the country to eliminate the remnants of the enemy.

Everywhere you go, unimpeded and invincible.

Right now. They have few rivals. The biggest enemy is distance. The vast majority of the day was spent on the march.

Before the Chinese New Year, the troops near Jinling, Shi Song's second regiment, all returned to Jinling for the New Year.

Feng Zijing also led the sailors to celebrate the New Year in Jinling.

Now, Chen Yejun, Feng Zijing, Shi Liu, Cao Wuji and others are in the old mansion of the Jinling Shi family.

Today is the thirtieth day of the lunar month, and they will celebrate the New Year in this old house.

After the four families of King Jia Shixue moved north to the imperial capital, they left an old mansion in Jinling.

Although these mansions are not as big as their mansions in the imperial capital, they can be regarded as large mansions in the local area.

Naturally, the masters all went to the imperial capital, and those who stayed here were all subordinates, guarding the house while taking care of the land and limited property here.

Except for the land, the families left in Jinling did not actually have any decent industry.

Due to the distance, the masters neglected to manage, and these industries did not make much money, and the money they made was also subsidized to the repair of the house and the subordinates.

There are still many clansmen from major families in Jinling. Today, the clansmen of the Jia family, the Xue family, and the Wang family also came here to visit Chen Yejun and others, and sent some New Year's goods.

In addition to these three families, there are also representatives of the local government, Ying Tianfu Mansion Yin and other officials, and the leading figures of the local business community have also sent labor and military goods.

Among them, there is a person Chen Yejun and others who are familiar with, that is, Zhao Bancheng.

Zhao Bancheng came into contact with Jia Min as early as when Jia Min made the first batch of wine, and bought the technology of making wine from Jia Min.

Later, the city wall of Bukui was built, houses were built in Bukui, and ticket numbers were opened, all of which had the shadow of Zhao Bancheng.

Zhao Bancheng even went to Bu Kui in person. Now Zhao Bancheng's ticket number in Bukui has also extended its tentacles to Beihai and opened a branch in Beihai.

Therefore, he and Chen Yejun are also old acquaintances.

Another important guest is from the Zhen family in Jinling, and this time it is Zhen Baoyu, the representative of the Zhen family.

The Zhen family was raided in the Yuanheng era, so its vitality was greatly damaged.

However, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and as a big family, there is still some background. Jinling has been prosperous and rich since ancient times, developed industry and commerce, and the Zhen family has worked hard, although there is no longer the scene of the heyday, but it has also recovered some vitality.

It was precisely because of the seizure of the house by the previous dynasty that after the three feudatories came, the Zhen family was blessed by misfortune and was not harmed, but took the opportunity to traffic in illicit salt and made a lot of money.

Zhen Baoyu, because she looks very similar to Jia Baoyu, has a very similar personality and behavior. When Chen Yejun was still in the imperial capital, he had heard of this person. As a member of the Shi family, Shi Song naturally knew this person.

When they had just captured Jinling, the Zhen family came to visit Chen Yejun, and invited Chen Yejun, Shi Song and other officers to the mansion for a banquet.

Because of the close relationship with the Jia family, the Zhen family naturally received a lot of care from the volunteers this time.

Zhen Baoyu sent something, chatted a few words, and said goodbye with the others, leaving only Zhao Bancheng, who was still staying here.

It's the Chinese New Year, and it's supposed to be at home. Even if there is something, you should go home as soon as possible.

At this time, Zhao Bancheng still didn't leave, obviously he had something to say.

"Boss Zhao, we are also old acquaintances, you might as well say something directly."

Chen Yejun guessed Zhao Bancheng's thoughts.

"Well, yes......."

When Chen Yejun saw him spitting, he knew that he had something to say and didn't want others to hear.

"You all go out, I'll discuss something with Boss Zhao."

Feng Zijing, Shi Liu and the others went out, and Zhao Bancheng spoke.

"Has Brigade Commander Chen not yet decided to marry?"

"I have been in the military all these years, and I have not yet decided on a marriage."

"I have a good family here, and it happens to be a match made in heaven with Brigade Commander Chen."

"Marriage matters should be decided by the elders. Contemptible people don't dare to call the shots without permission. ”

"Brigade Commander Chen is reasonable, and I admire it. However, there is no such thing as being rigid either. Huaiyuan does things, but he doesn't follow common sense, and he makes his own decisions when he has something. ”

"This ......, Boss Zhao, I also envy Chief Min for being able to make his own decisions, but my family is different from him."

"I naturally understand this. The number of rites that should be there should be should be according to the number of rites. However, if you don't know anything about the woman, and it's not all beautiful, wouldn't it be better to take the number of courtesies after you like it? ”

"This ......."

Actually, it makes sense.

Seeing Chen Yejun like this, Zhao Bancheng knew that he was tempted.

"The girl I'm talking about is none other than someone else. Maybe Brigade Commander Chen has seen it, but it may not be. He is the second lady of the Zhen family. Gentle and virtuous, born is as beautiful as a flower. ”

Speaking of this second lady of the Zhen family, Chen Yejun has really seen it.

There are three young ladies in the Zhen family, the eldest lady has been married, and the second and third ladies are still waiting to be written. The second lady has reached the age of marriage, and the third miss is still young.

"Don't hide it from Boss Zhao, I've really seen this second lady, and she looks like she has a good character."

"This is the fate of heaven, it can be seen that there is a fate to meet thousands of miles away. To tell you the truth, I told Master Zhen about this, and they were also willing, and after asking the second miss, the second miss also nodded. If Brigade Commander Chen has no objection, he will return to Beihai in the future, and call his family to propose marriage. ”

"It's just that Beihai is far away from here, I'm afraid it's too inconvenient."

"It's nothing, it's fast by water. When you have to get married, you might as well welcome it back by the way. It saves the delay on the way back and forth. ”

"It's good that this matter is good, but now that I'm fighting, I'm afraid it will be delayed for a while. Besides, if it is undecided today, and the sword has no eyes, if there is a three-long and two-short, it will be set early, and it will be mistaken for life. ”

"I naturally understand this truth. I also told the Zhen family. Still, people are willing. In fact, the people here have already understood the general trend of the world, and the world will be far away sooner or later. As Huaiyuan's confidant, you have a great future in the future, and now I don't know how many people want to slap you. ”

"Boss Zhao is so confident in us?"

"Huaiyuan has confidence, why don't I have confidence?"

"Thank you Boss Zhao for that. When the world is calmed down in the future, this will be done. ”

"Brigade Commander Chen is happy, I'll take my leave."

"It's okay, I won't keep you for the New Year today."

Zhao Bancheng left, and Shi Song and Feng Zijing came in again, and their faces were a little grim.

Shi Song handed Chen Yejun a letter.

After reading the letter, Chen Yejun's face couldn't help but change.

"How so? In this case, Chief Min will have trouble with him. ”

It turned out that this letter was sent by Qiu Liang.

After Qiu Liang followed Chang'an and others back from Goryeo, he was sent back to the imperial capital by Jia Min, responsible for collecting intelligence in the imperial capital and liaising with Shengjing and Jinling.

The information sent by Qiu Liang this time was about the plan of the three feudatories to collude with the Mogu people and want to deal with Jia Min.

At this time, the news that Jia Min had defeated the Mogu people had not yet reached the imperial capital. Qiu Liang's information is only a situation where Song Kuan and Mo Guren have reached an agreement.

In the intelligence, there was no mention that Jia Min had already started a war with the Mogu people, which naturally meant that Qiu Liang did not know that Jia Min had gone deep into the Mogu grassland.

"Did you two read it?"

"Look, things don't seem good. The ancient Mogu soldiers were strong and strong, and there were many people, so it was not easy for Chief Min to deal with them. ”

"This move of the three feudal clans is indeed clever. Over there, the Mogu people will deal with Chief Min, and they will be able to free up their hands to deal with us and Chief of Staff Feng in the future. Looks like we're going to have to hurry up. ”

"Brigade Commander Chen is saying that we are going north?"

"It's not going north, it's going south."

"To the south?"

"Yes, let's go south, meet with Chief of Staff Feng as soon as possible, and after the south is completely pacified, there will be no worries, and then we will go north."

"Where's Chief Min?"

"Don't worry, with Chief Min here, the Mogu people can't take advantage of it. Even if you can't beat the Mogu people, you can still get out of the way. In the future, with enough ammunition, it will not be too late to clean up the Mogu people. ”

"When are we going to pull out?"

"Don't worry, after the sixth day of the first month, the seventh day of the first month will be opened. Let's make a plan. ”

"This three feudatories, for the sake of their own country, is simply crazy, and even does such a thing as tearing the soil and sealing the king. Aren't you afraid of becoming a sinner for the ages? ”

Feng Yejing said indignantly.

"They are also dogs jumping over the wall in a hurry, and they are in a hurry to go to the doctor. It's not useful, it's just to delay us for a while, and sooner or later we'll have to defeat them. ”

In the midst of discussions, several people formulated a plan of action for the future.

Feng Zijing's sailors, who no longer had any opponents here, left a small number of them, temporarily under the command of Chen Yejun, mainly responsible for the troop transportation tasks of the Second Brigade.

Feng Zijing led the main force of the naval division south to Qinzhou, landed for battle, and went to make peace with Feng Ziying.

Shi Song led his troops and went south with Chen Yejun to make peace with Molik's Mamluk regiment.

Qin Zhong's first regiment, which is currently in Shandong, began to approach Zhili. will not go south for the time being, but also expand in Shandong.

"Chiefs, it's time to eat."

Cao Wuji came to call.

"Let's go, eat and drink, and have a good New Year."

Chen Yejun waved his hand and took the lead to go out.

Although they got news from Qiu Liang, they all had an almost blind trust in Jia Min, and they were not too worried.
