In just over a month, Zhao Zheng went to Huaidong again, this time the accompanying team was huge, Zhao Zheng not only took away all his escorts of more than 100 people, but also Erlang, Gao Linmen, Yan Tianwu, etc. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 In addition, there are more than 20 agricultural officials and 30 experienced old farmers.

Unexpectedly, those peasant officials and old peasants had no complaints about Zhao Zheng letting them go with the army, probably because their trust in Zhao Zheng had reached a very high level, thinking that with the national teacher, Li Quanzhi's rebellion could not set off any storms.

Gao Linmen shouted along the way and was pulled by Zhao Zheng again, he, the grandmaster of the Maoshan Sect, is now about to become Zhao Zheng's personal guard, how miserable.

In the face of Gao Linmen's complaints, Zhao Zheng had to instigate Erlang to pester Gao Linmen all day long to teach him martial arts, otherwise he really couldn't stand Gao Linmen's chatter.

Yan Tianwu has recently plunged headlong into Rousseau's social contract theory, saying very little, basically not communicating with the outside world, only occasionally discussing related issues with Zhao Zheng, but his expression is becoming more and more radiant, and Zhao Zheng knows that she has found her own answer in it.

Zhao Zheng's destination this time is Yangzhou, if nothing else, Li Quan will still choose to besiege Yangzhou this time in order to open the gateway to the south.

After learning about the power of the improved gunpowder, the ordnance supervisor worked overtime for more than a month, made thousands of kilograms of gunpowder, and also pulled it into Yangzhou City with Zhao Zheng.

This time it was a rapid march, day and night, but it arrived in Yangzhou in three days.

When he arrived in Yangzhou, the news that Li Quan had broken through Taizhou had already come from the front, and a large number of military supplies in Taizhou City had been collected, and he was sharpening his sword and rushing towards Yangzhou.

――

Entering Yangzhou City, Zhao Zheng first visited Sanzhao, and Zhao Zheng has always admired Zhao Zheng, a person who can fight and defend the country, and did not take a posture, but took the lead in going to Yangzhou Mansion to visit Zhao Shanxiang.

Zhao Zheng learned from the doorman that Zhao Fan and Zhao Kui were also there, and they were having a meeting in the lobby with a cadre of generals, so he ordered not to go in to report that he was coming, and he just waited in the outer hall alone.

Zhao Zheng's statement was so shocked that he hurriedly confessed, secretly wondering if he or Mr. Zhao had offended the national teacher in something? This kind of deigning to wait outside is what it is like to meet people who are far above themselves.

Zhao Zheng appeased him, and the doorman saw that Zhao Zheng looked fine, so he left with confidence.

Those small officials who were not qualified to hold the meeting were not so calm, and a Confucian official headed by him, who was in charge of the archives and documents of the state capital, came to talk diligently.

Zhao Zheng said a few words with him casually, seeing that this person was too slippery and too explicit, he was a little disliked. These canonical histories are all people who observe words and colors, so I don't know the disgust in Zhao Zheng's heart, so I have to get up and leave.

Gao Linmen sat next to Zhao Zheng, and after seeing that the history of the Dian went out, he ate the fruit on the table, and seemed to be a little dissatisfied with Zhao Zheng's Corporal Lixian, delaying him to sleep. The wind and dust of the past few days have made Gao Linmen a little tired.

Zhao Zheng couldn't help but cry and laugh a little when he saw Gao Linmen eating fruit and smiling, this is really a martial arts wizard? Less energy than myself.

"Lao Gao, if you don't go back to Maoshan for so long, there won't be any problems!" Zhao Zheng casually found a topic to talk to him.

Gao Linmen put down the fruit that he hadn't finished eating and stretched: "I'll have a problem when I go back." Those old guys from the Maoshan faction wish I never went back. ”

When Zhao Zheng was about to ask about the details, the meeting in the lobby ended.

A cadre of officials and generals walked out of the lobby, and it was very strange to see a young man and a young man sitting in the outer hall, but looking at the clothes of the two people, they were not ordinary people, but they did not see anyone waiting next to them.

"Who's coming?" An official asked, although he was wearing the robe of a civil official, there was a heroic air between his eyebrows, and he was in his prime, which made people feel that he was a character at first glance, and he should be extraordinary.

Zhao Zheng and Gao Linmen don't like to wear Taoist robes on weekdays, so it's normal for these people in front of them not to guess their identities: "Xiaodao Zhao Zheng!" ”

The first official with gray hair should be Zhao Shanxiang, hearing Zhao Zheng's self-reported name, he still has some doubts in his heart, who is this person?

Gao Linmen was not lazy to watch from the sidelines, and immediately said: "This is the national teacher!" Zhao Zhenren. I am high-...... "I haven't finished my self-introduction. The lobby suddenly came back to their senses, and then it became a sensation, and they surrounded Zhao Zheng with some compliments, and completely surrounded Gao Linmen, they knew from the holy decree that the national teacher would come, but they didn't expect that the national teacher of the dynasty was actually such a teenager.

In ancient times, the way of communication was word of mouth, and Zhao Zheng's image has changed several times in the process of communication, and some rumors are rumored to be an elegant young man with a weak crown, otherwise how could he make a mistake, such a sad and poignant vernacular poem at that moment. There is also a rumor that Zhao Zheng is an old man who is over 100 years old, who has mercy on the world and rains down fairy melons, and fairy beans benefit the people. Recently, it has been rumored that Zhao Zheng is a martial artist who is angry and angry, and he sent down thunder and split Li Quan's 10,000 soldiers and horses outside Baoying City.

All in all, Zhao Zheng's age is exaggerated in rumors, and probably people are a little older in their hearts to be more in line with Zhao Zheng's image.

Zhao Shanxiang is not in Lin'an, so he naturally doesn't know what Zhao Zheng looks like, but from the letters of Lin'an's friends who are officials in the court, he knows that today's famous national teacher is a young man, but the specific age is not explained. Who knows if Zhao Zheng has the art of rejuvenation, he is obviously 100 years old but only a teenager.

"This official has not seen the doorman report, and he still looks at Haihan where he neglects the national teacher." Zhao Shanxiang's posture was lowered, although he was not afraid of this kind of fortunate person, at least he didn't want to offend, and the relationship between this national teacher and Shi Xianggong was also so entangled, ambiguous and unclear, whether it was an enemy or a friend also made outsiders confused. Therefore, it is even more impossible to offend.

"Bachelor Zhao is serious, I don't know much about the military affairs, there are Bachelor Lao and the officials and generals, I came here to convey my support to the officials, you just need to capture the thief, I am in charge of the rear, and I will not break your elbows. I won't interfere in the rest, of course, what's the use of getting the trail to tell me! "This official title is generally called by the high official title, and this Huanwen Bachelor can be compared to the dignity of the system, so Zhao Zheng can call Zhao Shanxiang Zhao Bachelor, or Zhao Huanwen.

Zhao Shanxiang saw Zhao Zheng's statement like this, naturally he couldn't ask for it, if Zhao Zheng interfered in military affairs in a hurry, Zhao Shanxiang really didn't know what to do: "Don't dare to do it!" In the future, there are still things that need to rely on the national teacher, and I hope to give advice, the national teacher came day and night this time, and he was also tired, and the official set up a banquet for the national teacher to catch the wind and wash the dust at night! ”

Zhao Zheng waved his hand: "The thieves are not peaceful, and the people of Li are suffering, this is not necessary, and on the day of your triumph, I will set up a banquet to celebrate the achievements of all officials!" ”

Zhao Zheng's words made the officials nod again and again, this national teacher seems to be really as rumored, kind-hearted, modest, and able to recognize the general situation and take into account the overall situation, which is really rare for people in high positions. It immediately won their favor.

"Who is this?" Zhao Zheng asked the middle-aged civil official who had just reprimanded his identity.

"Xiaguan Zhao Kui, if you offend, you still hope that the national teacher Haihan."

"It turned out to be Senator Zhao, what a talent! Family Roots. As soon as Zhao Zheng's words came out, the officials present all changed color.

This Zhao Kui was promoted by Zhao Shanxiang to serve as a senator at the meeting just now, how could the national teacher know about this, could he really pinch his fingers and not be able to do it?

Zhao Zheng saw that everyone's color changed, and he was slightly puzzled: "But what did Xiaodao say wrong?" ”

"The national teacher is really a god!" The officials sighed.

――

After visiting a group of officials, Chengdao came to report that a big house had been sold in Yangzhou City, and when Zhao Zheng had not yet entered the city, he asked people to look at Yangzhou through his glasses on the hot air balloon to see where there was a big vacant house, and then after entering the city, he went separately to find the owners of those houses.

Those houses learned that the person they wanted to buy was a national teacher of the dynasty, and the price was generous, so they were also willing to sell the idle house to Zhao Zheng.

This is a courtyard with four entrances and four exits, but it is completely insufficient for Zhao Zheng's team of nearly three hundred people, so he asked people to choose a nearby courtyard or inn to rent, all of which made Zhao Shanxiang feel that he was a soldier when he learned about it. Zhao Shanxiang was deeply worried about the strength of Zhao Zheng's guards, and wondered if he should send a battalion of men to protect Zhao Zheng.

――

When Zhao Zheng saw that it was already his own big house, he looked up to the sky and laughed: "It's good to have money!" ”

"National teacher, where are the twenty carts of things?" Chengdao couldn't bear to disturb Zhao Zheng's emotion, but he was very afraid of the things in the carriage, and there was a person in the Taoist temple who died from this thing.

The carriage was loaded with two artillery pieces, as well as five grenades, and the rest were gunpowder, which were originally intended to be used as military funds to send to Zhao Shanxiang, but the key is that none of them would use this thing, but it is indeed a little unsafe to put it in their own yard, and those gunpowder are military funds, and it is a little taboo to put them in their own homes.

"Let's go and invite Mr. Zhao to come over, just say that I want to discuss things."

When Zhao Zheng explained that the carriage was the gunpowder that broke Li Quan outside Baoying City that day, Zhao Shanxiang's confidence immediately became sufficient.

"With this thing, although the Li thief is powerful, he is just a local chicken and a dog."

Zhao Zheng hurriedly stopped Zhao Shanxiang's overly optimistic thoughts: "Bachelor, this thing should not be preserved, it is easy to get wet, be sure to put it in a dry place, and do not encounter open flames." ”

Zhao Shanxiang frowned, it turned out that after the improvement of this thing, the shortcomings were the same as the previous gunpowder, and these restrictions made this thing only work under certain circumstances, which was indeed a pity.

"However, I still have two things here, and it is enough to break the enemy's might."

"What?"

"Master Zhao, come with me." Zhao Zheng led Zhao Shanxiang to his backyard, and then pointed to the rockery in front of him that he hated very much. Someone took out a grenade and bounced it, then ripped off the pull tab and threw it at the rockery. Immediately asked someone to drag Zhao Shanxiang into the house.

Zhao Shanxiang hasn't reacted yet.

The explosion was loud and his ears buzzed, and he ran out to see the smoke billowing and the rockery being blown into a pile of rubble.

Zhao Shanxiang looked at the mess in front of him, his hands and feet trembled, with this artifact, why not break it! Even the restoration of the Central Plains is not impossible.

Zhao Zheng in the house was not too excited, and instructed Cheng Dao: "Change to a better rockery." That one was too ugly just now, and now it's gone. ”

It's good to have a big house, it's okay if the backyard explodes, it's a big deal to change to a new house, it's good to have money!
