In front of Hujiazhuang, a mile outside Tongcheng City, two idlers crossed their arms and looked around boredly.

In the eyes of ordinary people, this Hujiazhuang is no different from other Zhuangzi, the villagers say that they come out and do what they say, and they live a peaceful and boring life.

But when something happens, the village becomes different.

Huang Wending strode to the front of the village, and the two idlers suddenly became alert, one went to touch the gong hidden in the grass, and the other shouted fiercely: "Who are you?" ”

"Huang Wending, Zhang Ru asked me to come here, what about Wang Guohua?"

"You are Huang Wending?" The two idlers at the entrance of the village put their hearts at ease, and one of them stepped forward and saluted with a smile: "I have long heard that Brother Huang is a good man in our Tongcheng, and now I can see it, it is really extraordinary!" ”

After a while, two more people came out of the village, one of whom knew Huang Wending well, and he was overjoyed when he saw it: "Brother Wending is here, and great things can be done!" ”

"Haha, where can you be so valued by Brother Guohua." Huang Wending also laughed.

"Brother Wending is the most righteous person, and now that he is here, he is the brother of all of us!" Wang Guohua introduced him into the village, and the joy in his expression couldn't be hidden: "If Brother Wending comes out, the heroes on the left and right will inevitably come to vote!" ”

"I have made up my mind now, how can my husband be a tenant for a lifetime, and now everyone in Tongcheng is arrogant, forcing my generation to have no way to live." Huang Wending said angrily: "Every time I say that the domestic servants can't eat enough belly, I have to serve the servants of those slaves, and they can be driven to pay back, and they are also whipped and humiliated...... Brother Guohua, you are right, such a thing is not human! ”

"Brother Wending, why did you think about it, we persuaded you last time, and you still said that it must not be!" Wang Guohua said overjoyed.

Huang Wending is different from him, Huang Wending has been brave since he was a child, generous and chivalrous, and almost all the tenant farmers in Tongcheng are very convinced of him.

Previously, Wang Guohua and others had repeatedly persuaded him to discuss the plan together, and even waited for the position of leader to be vacant, but Huang Wending was never happy.

"Fang was beaten up by Fang Yingqian's evil servants Yin He and Chen Qian." Huang Wending also did not shy away from saying: "Mr. Mingshan gave birth to such a descendant, which really made him humiliated!" ”

Mr. Mingshan is Fang Xuechuan, is Fang Yizhi's great-grandfather, in the "Guilin Fang", his branch is the long house, and Fang Yingqian's father is Fang Damei, in fact, the sixth room, the two families have been extremely estranged. But in the eyes of the villagers, "Guilin Fang" is one.

"This party should be extremely hateful, if it is done, his whole family will be punished!" Wang Guohua also gritted his teeth.

"That's natural, but this branch of Changfang Fang Lang is still virtuous, and there are many people in the surrounding townships who have received his favor, so Hugh is going to crash into his house."

"Yes, Mr. In-sik is the most just, and I greatly admire it!"

Mr. Fang Langzhong and Mr. Renzhi both refer to Fang Kongzhi, and Huang Wending and Wang Guohua still respect him very much.

The two glanced at each other, Huang Wending saw that the other party was still going around in a circle, and he couldn't help but be a little impatient in his heart, he thought that he had already made up his mind here, and it was meaningless to go around in circles, so he said first: "Brother Guohua, I have made up my mind to come this time, if you want to start an incident, I, Huang Wending, will climb high and shout, hundreds and thousands of people can come at any time, but we can't fight against the Haonu officers and soldiers with our fists." ”

Wang Guohua smiled: "That's natural, Brother Wen Ding, rest assured, the armor banner will not take long to arrive." ”

"If you want to succeed, you need to set off a momentum, shock the Quartet, and make heroes and heroes from all over the world enthusiastically vote." Huang Wending said excitedly: "Since there is a soldier armor banner, then let's do these things well first, and then choose the opportunity to start things!" ”

"Sure enough, it is worthy of Brother Wending, the same as what Brother Zhang Ru saw, and Zhang Ru also meant this."

"That being the case, I'm going to hook up with the heroes of the Quartet!" Hearing this, Huang Wending stopped: "Zhang Ru is proficient in literature and ink, if he comes here, he will ask him to write a proclamation, let's post in all directions, only to act on behalf of the emperor." In addition, Brother Guohua, you send more people to spread the word everywhere, and only say ...... The Eight Kings and the Grim Eye are going to attack Tongcheng! ”

"Shhh

As soon as these words came out, Wang Guohua's face suddenly changed greatly, and the people around him also changed color.

"That's ......"

"If you want to make trouble, make a big fuss, Guohua, you don't have to hide it from me, if this Hujiazhuang does not have the support of one party, where will the endless financial and material resources come from?" Huang Wending thought of Wang Zhaolin's humiliation and contempt for him, and said with a cruel smile: "Since you are determined to do it, then you must not look ahead and backward, it is also a great achievement to be able to introduce the Eight Kings and Ge Liyan into Tongcheng!" ”

"Why did my brother say this?"

"How many soldiers and horses do you see in Tongcheng? In the past two years, there have been bandits around Chaohu Lake, and Huoshan is full of bandits, just because there are no decent soldiers and horses in Anqing and Luzhou! Now that the king and the generals have attracted the soldiers and horses of the Central Plains to the past, if the eight kings and the eye of the Geli can break into our Tongcheng and take the Yingtianfu directly, then it will be the foundation of Emperor Taizu! ”

Wang Guohua was dumbfounded, although he and Huang Wending have known each other for a long time, they have always felt that this person has nothing outstanding except for being generous and heroic, and he has always wondered why Zhang Ru has to persuade this person to come out to help.

But Huang Wending's words made him suddenly realize that this person is by no means ordinary!

At this time, the elite of the Ming Dynasty had been completely involved in the north of Shanhaiguan, the inferior ones were guarding against the Mongols in Datong Xuanfu, and the second one was fighting with the anti-kings in the Central Plains. Southern Anhui, Jiangsu and Zhejiang have indeed been peaceful for a long time, even the Japanese are gone, the garrison is extremely empty, if a main force of the righteous army breaks into here, if it goes well, it can really attack the city of Nanjing!

For the Ming Dynasty, it is the disaster area of the extinction, and most of the wealth of the Ming Dynasty now depends on the southeast half of the wall!

"What my brother said is very true!" Wang Guohua immediately grabbed Huang Wending's arm: "The matter of contacting the Eight Kings and Ge Liyan will be handed over to the younger brother, the elder brother has worked hard and colluded with the heroes of the Quartet, these Xu Yinliang, please take it to the elder brother!" ”

"Don't worry!"

Huang Wending took the small bag containing silver taels, nodded, turned around and walked out of Hujiazhuang again.

As he walked out of Hujiazhuang, Tongcheng, which seemed to be peaceful, suddenly surged with an undercurrent.

At the same time that Huang Wending left Hujiazhuang, Yu Guozhen also left Lushanzhuang, at the gate of the villa, Fang Qiyi reluctantly pulled Qi Niu's arm: "Go back to the Xiliu Courtyard, you have to teach me to ride a horse!" ”

"Hehe, little young master, just give orders." Qi Niu and Fang Qiyi are also very close to each other, and they respectfully obey their orders.

"Brother Secret, what I asked me to do, I also ask Brother Secret to help me do it as soon as possible." Yu Guozhen explained with wisdom on the other side.

"Don't worry, it's not just me, it's the boss, I will also urge you, in addition, Qian Muzhai, Zhang Ximing, Chen Wozi, I will also write to urge you to ......"

Yu Guozhen laughed: "In this way, please leave it to my brother!" ”

After saying goodbye, he glanced at a corner of Lu Villa, and above the pavilion in that corner, a figure that seemed to exist quietly stood quietly.

"Let's go, Shi Weng, old cow!" He glanced at the figure again, then commanded.

The first purpose is to invite Fang Kongzhi and Fang Yizhi to write articles, Fang Kongzhi has promised to write a "Confucius Huayi Examination", Fang Yizhi also wants to write a "Yashan Three Hundred and Fifty-four Years Sacrifice", in addition to the two of them, Yu Guozhen also asked them to invite manuscripts from Qian Qianyi, Zhang Pu, Chen Zilong and other famous artists.

Fang Yizhi didn't quite understand Yu Guozhen's wanton request, but when he heard Yu Guozhen say that he would compile everyone's articles into a book and print them, Fang Yizhi was happy. At this time, how could the literati not want their manuscripts to be printed into books, but although China is the hometown of movable type printing, for many reasons, it is still engraving printing at the moment, and the cost of printing books is expensive, but not everyone can realize this dream.

Yu Guozhen's second purpose is to reach a tacit understanding with the Fang family on the marriage, and now he only needs to invite another matchmaker to choose Ji Ji to hire him, and the marriage can be finalized.

If it is only in terms of age, Yu Guozhen is not in a hurry to get married, he is only sixteen years old now, and Fang Ziyi is even less, only fourteen years old, although Yu Guozhen has long been familiar with personnel and knows how to love beautiful and delicate girls, but getting married at this age is a barrier for women. It is precisely for this reason that although the elders of the clan all regard Xiaolian and Liu Ru as the people in his room, in fact, he has not done anything upright.

In this era, he will not be hypocritical, but he will not be abusive.

The boat took him into the Yangtze River, then down the river, and then entered the Xihe River at Liujiadu, and it took six days from the time he left Xiang'an to Fushan and the time he returned. Most of the time was because he lived in the Fang family, and discussed miscellaneous knowledge with the Fang brothers.

Before landing on the shore, Yu Guozhen noticed some changes, and he said in surprise: "What's wrong?" ”

"Little official, the fifth master has come back, and he has brought a few boatloads of people, and they have just arrived, and they have already been settled according to the regulations of the little official." Luo Jiuhe, who came up, replied with a smile.

At this time, along the West River, a total of six guard towers were built in Xiliu Courtyard, so when Yu Guozhen's boat was still a few miles away, Luo Jiuhe got the news. Hearing him say this, Yu Guozhen was stunned again: "So fast? ”

At the end of February, after the auction of the art of planting beads, Yu Yixuan went to Denglai to continue recruiting refugees according to the arrangement, and now it is April 12 (there was a mistake before, I checked the perpetual calendar, this year's lunar calendar February 22 is only seven days away from Qingming), more than a month, Yu Yixuan brought people back, faster than Yu Guozhen imagined.

Because this time there are twice as many teenagers to be recruited as there were last time, there are nearly 200 teenagers!

"Mr. Xu helped, this recruitment went very smoothly, but the Denglai Rebellion has been settled." Luo Jiuhe replied.

It turned out that Xu Lin used his connections, and Yu Guozhen nodded. The so-called pacification of the Denglai Rebellion actually created greater trouble, Geng Zhongming and Kong Youde, who were sentenced to rebellion, fled to Liaodong, and the craftsmen who went away under duress cast cannons from the church's vulgar Houjin.
