Chapter 109 Grand Earl Zhao

Zhao Fuzhong outside Suzhou City lived in two beautiful women in a row within a few days, but Zhao Million didn't seem to be happy at all. Although these two fairy-like women nominally belong to Zhao Kang's little wives, Zhao Million's group of little wives guard against them all day long, after all, in the eyes of women, there is no difference between a man who only thinks with his lower body, whether he is thirteen or eighty-three years old. urged Zhao Million to send them to Shaanxi all day long.

In fact, Zhao Million can't help it, now the thieves in Henan are making trouble, and they don't dare to take the Yellow River at all. It was a detour to Shandong and Hebei, but Caoyun was intercepted by Li Qingshan again, and it was not safe to confront the officers and soldiers in the Liangshan area. can only temporarily settle Chen Yuanyuan and Dong Xiaowan at home.

Dong Xiaowan is better, at least Zhao Million ransomed her home with her consent, and Zhao Million's move even feels like sending carbon in the snow to her, for an arrogant girl like her, it is much better to live in Zhao's house than to drink and laugh in a brothel by the Bantang River. In order to make Dong Xiaowan and Chen Yuanyuan live as well as possible, Zhao Million also instructed Zhao Laocai to assign a maid to each of the two girls to take care of their daily life.

But Chen Yuanyuan washed his face with tears all day long and was heartbroken. Originally, she had already made a marriage contract with the talented man of Jiangnan, who knew that she was bought into the door by Gong Ruofu, when she was completely ready to let go of the people in her heart and go to the Gong family as a concubine with peace of mind, but the door of the Gong family was sent to this Zhao Mansion before she entered the Gong family, and I heard that it would not be long before she was sent to northern Shaanxi. Chen Yuanyuan, who feels that fate is unfair, has no control over his life at all, how can he not be sad?

Chen Yuanyuan is also a person who reads poetry and books, and he has no common language with those illiterate and semi-literate people in Zhao's mansion. Fortunately, in this Zhao Mansion, there is also Dong Xiaowan, who has the same fate and is also talented. The relationship between the two became deeper and deeper, and they even became sisters, studying poetry and songs, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting in the Zhao Mansion every day, which can be regarded as self-enjoyment.

——————————————————I am the dividing line of evil——————————————————

Thousands of miles away, in Yulin City, Zhao Kang ushered in his old acquaintance Wang Jixiang again.

"Oops! Princess! I miss me, I haven't heard from you for so long, I really think about it day and night, I don't think about tea and dinner, you see, I've lost a few pounds! As soon as Wang Jixiang got off the carriage, Zhao Kang greeted him with a smile on his face and enthusiasm.

Of course, it was because he had already received the news that the court wanted to make himself the governor of Mongolia and Yu Linbo, otherwise how could Zhao Kang's character be as polite?

Wang Jixiang also walked over with a smile on his face, and said politely like an old friend who hadn't seen him for many years: "Congratulations to Lord Zhao, congratulations to Lord Zhao!" In the future, it is estimated that our family should change their words to call Lord Zhao Uncle Zhao! ”

Only then did Wang Jixiang take out the holy decree from his bosom and said loudly in the voice of a male duck unique to eunuchs: "Governor Yansui and Zuo Du Imperial Envoy Zhao Kang receive the decree!" ”

Glancing left and right, I saw that Zhao Kang led all his subordinates to kneel on the ground, and Wang Jixiang began to read.

"Fengtian carried the emperor's edict and said: Zhao Kang, the governor of Yansui and the imperial envoy of Zuo Yandu, has both talent and morality, Wen Tao and martial arts, and is proficient in everything, recovering southern Mongolia and expanding the territory for thousands of miles. I hope that he will make persistent efforts, send troops to the northeast, save Hong Chengchou and Zu Dashou in Jinzhou, and make meritorious deeds! ”

Zhao Kang said loudly: "Minister Zhao Kang received the order, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

When the title of Earl of Yulin was in hand, Zhao Kang was also satisfied, and immediately arranged for people to cook cattle and slaughter sheep in Yulin City, hold a banquet, and give Wang Jixiang a catch.

After three rounds of drinking, Zhao Kangcai said to Wang Jixiang: "Princess, are you satisfied with the beauties you sent last time?" This time, I made a special trip to study the special hobbies of the princess, and specially prepared a few girls from Shanxi, how tender and smooth they looked, which was more than a grade higher than the Mongolian barbarian women last time, and the princess must like it! ”

After the last "tent door" incident, how dare Wang Jixiang still play with women on Zhao Kang's turf? What if I was secretly drawn by the swordsman Ximen Fuxue nicknamed "Snow Mountain Flying Fox"? hurriedly refused: "Since I returned to Beijing last time, I have learned from the pain and have decided to stay away from women and become a qualified eunuch for the country and the people." ”

After speaking, he asked, "When is Lord Zhao going to send troops?" Hong Chengchou and Zu Dashou are afraid that they won't be able to last long in Liaodong. ”

Zhao Kang said: "This is not in a hurry, we have to study how to save them first." You see that it is so far from Yulin to Jinzhou, it is very likely that we are still halfway and they will be wiped out by the pseudo-Qing, and when the time comes, we will not retreat, nor will we retreat, but it will not be good. ”

Wang Jixiang said: "Aren't your subordinates equipped with those loaders and transport vehicles?" It should be no problem to travel thousands of miles a day, right? It takes less than three days to get from Yulin to Jinzhou. ”

Zhao Kang said bitterly: "Father-in-law, you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are at home, although the loader and the transport truck don't eat grass, but they want to drink oil, and the oil is more expensive than silver, do you know how much oil the 100,000 army has to drink from Yulin to Jinzhou?" One million taels of silver is estimated to be not enough! There is also the food, drink, and Lazar of the soldiers on the road, which has to be counted separately. ”

Wang Jixiang obviously put on a look of disbelief: "Then last time you led a large army across the Mongolian steppe, why didn't you hear that you wanted so much silver?" ”

Zhao Kang's face was not red and his heart was not beating and he continued to talk nonsense: "My Zhao family is a famous big family in Suzhou City, just because of the last time I fought Mongolia, nearly one million taels of silver passed down by several generations of my family have been completely defeated by me, when I think of this, my heart is bleeding!" And I heard that the elites of the Eight Banners of Huang Taiji all have miraculous power and body protection, invulnerability, and invulnerability, and thousands of Tartars can suppress tens of thousands of Liaodong elites of our Ming Dynasty. In the front, there were Yang Hao, Yuan Yingtai, Xiong Tingbi, Wang Huazhen, and then Sun Chengzong, Yuan Chonghuan, Gao Di, and Wu Aheng, all of whom were defeated by the Tartars with the weak, and our Ming Dynasty was defeated worse than a dog. Whether these Eighth Route Army under my command can defeat them is still a question. ”

Wang Jixiang said: "Uncle Zhao, don't you believe those rumors?" If those Tartars were really that powerful, wouldn't they have broken through Beijing City long ago? I hadn't seen how powerful a real tartar was, but I thought a loader would be able to crush it as well. ”
