Dong Xiaowan completely moved out of Jinchai Building, and the river house next door to Jinchai Building was bought by him a few years ago, where he lived with his mother. This article is written by: 520。 To read the latest chapters of this book for the first time, please go to bn

But this time she moved out of Jinchai Building, but she moved directly into Yang's house.

Zhao Lan, the old lady of the Yang family, has already stated that she will give Yang Chao a concubine room, which is Dong Xiaowan.

Dong Xiaowan's wife's route has finally paid off.

Previously, Dong Xiaowan was deeply loved by Mrs. Yang, but because of her identity as a woman in the Qinglou, although she had the intention to let Yang Chao take a concubine, she always couldn't make up her mind, if Yang Chao was willing, she would not object, and if Yang Chao was not interesting, she would not force it.

But this time she changed her mind, and she decided that no matter what, as soon as Yang Chao came back, she would give Yang Chao a concubine.

So one midnight at the end of April, a sedan chair was sent to take Dong Xiaowan to the Yang family, which was officially regarded as the Yang family.

Dong Xiaowan's success broke Li Xiangjun's heart.

She is the youngest and simplest of the famous prostitutes in Nanjing, and she falls in love with Yang Chao entirely because of her feelings.

And often this simple feeling is the saddest.

Dong Xiaowan lived in Yang Chao's night, but Li Xiangjun was drunk.

Her friend Gu Mei accompanied her to drink.

scolded Dong Xiaowan for being scheming.

Gu Mei complained vigorously, devaluing Dong Xiaowan's actions for nothing.

Yang Chao went north to King Qin, Li Zicheng captured Beijing, the news of Chongzhen's death reached Nanjing, and there was a flood of mourning immediately, some civil officials gave Chongzhen filial piety, some literati lamented the defeat of the country, and even the common people felt that the country was lost.

But when people encounter blows, they are often much stronger than they imagined, and when they wake up the next day, everyone should still live their lives, and the common people should still work and work, dare to eat and eat, and the civil officials began to plan to welcome the new monarch and divide the south of the Yangtze River to defend half of the country.

But the Yang family has always been extremely nervous, because of the Chengpo of Beijing, the news of the death of the Ming Dynasty came. [800] Yang Chao has not been heard from.

Zhao Lan once again took her family to pray everywhere for blessings and make wishes everywhere, after making a wish last time, Yang Yong, the master of the Yang family, still felt that his wife had spent too much money. But this time, he didn't pity money at all, and supported his wife to go to various temples to make wishes.

Dong Xiaowan followed Mrs. Yang and Miss Yang every day at this time, from this temple to that temple, from Taoist temple to monk temple.

The Yang family's wish is nothing more than saying to the gods that if Yang Chao is fine. He was willing to donate money to repair the mountain gate, or build a road, or coat the idol with gold leaf.

But Dong Xiaowan may be willing, he said that if Yang Chao returns safely, she is willing to reduce her life span by ten years!

Mrs. Yang was greatly moved by Dong Xiaowan's wish, and finally made up her mind to take Dong Xiaowan to her home, and at the same time told her in-law Dong's mother that she would never let her daughter go to Jinchai Tower to sing in the future, and gave Dong's mother a large dowry, and did not want a dowry.

Dong Xiaowan completely faded out of the literary and artistic world.

But her means. made other famous prostitutes in the literary and artistic circles very disdainful, and at this time, the entire circle of famous prostitutes in Nanjing stood on Li Xiangjun's side.

Li Xiangjun's fancy to Yang Chao has long been spread, and even Yang Chao, who has rarely interacted with Qinglou, has heard of it, not to mention other people.

It's just that everyone saw that Yang Chao was very busy, and most of the time he was outside during the year, and most of them stayed in the barracks after returning to Nanjing, so he didn't develop with Li Xiangjun, but he didn't expect Dong Xiaowan to take the lead. And he took the route of his wife, which made these children of Lehu, who have always been straightforward and direct, very dissatisfied, thinking that Dong Xiaowan had broken the rules.

The words of the parents who ordered the matchmaker to be a concubine were normal people's families. The merry woman of the Qinglou should dare to love and hate, although she is only a concubine in the end, but she wants to talk about a love and I wish, what is the matter with you, the lady of the Yang family.

Gu Mei scolded Dong Xiaowan enough, and then persuaded Li Xiangjun to consider Hou Fangyu.

Li Xiangjun shook his head and refused, saying that he wanted to wait for Yang Chao to come back. Finally, I met Yang Chao.

Yang Chao was thousands of miles away in Linqing at this time, and he didn't know that someone was sad for him, Yang Chao was in a good mood at this time.

"Congratulations, Your Highness, Huai'an has sent someone to greet you!"

Yang Chao entered the crown prince's room, specially reported the good news to him, and at the same time urged the crown prince to prepare and prepare to move to Huai'an.

Jinbao used both soft and hard methods, and finally persuaded Huai'an Mansion.

Lu Zhenfei sent a general judge to Linqing to greet him.

In fact, Lu Zhenfei has no choice, he wants to wait for Nanjing's decision, but the officials under him can't stand the temptation, today a master, tomorrow a canon, the day after tomorrow a county, all to Jinbao to express their support for the prince, he is not standing in line.

Huai'an has jurisdiction over Haizhou, Pizhou and Shanyang County, Qinghe County, Andong County, Taoyuan County, Yancheng County, Shuyang County, Ganyu County, Suqian County and Suining County.

If Lu Zhenfei was still holding back at this time, he would cause public anger, and he found that the Huai'an garrison was already preparing to overthrow him.

Therefore, under the general trend, Lu Zhenfei also decisively changed the court, and threw the Nanjing court aside to express his support for the crown prince.

As soon as the official from Huai'an arrived, Yang Chao immediately ordered the army to set off.

Not only the army, but also the 300,000 refugees gathered in Linqing.

Yang Chao naturally arrived a few days earlier than the officials in Huai'an when he received the news, so he posted a notice in advance to tell the refugees that the prince was about to go south, and those who were willing to follow would be given grain and rice on the way.

Most of these refugees were from Gyeonggi, and a few were from Shandong, but the increasingly chaotic situation during this period made their hope of returning home very slim, and in desperation, a considerable number of them immediately expressed their willingness to follow the prince.

After some people came out, others did not wait and watch, and in the end, most of them were willing to go.

Yang Chao sent people to form these people in formation, hoping that there would be no trouble on the road.

Fortunately, these people have leaders, people are group animals, after gathering together, there will naturally be some leaders, or a strong person, or a respected person, and then others will take the initiative to attach, of course, more are the escape teams with each family as the core, with the patriarch of the big family as the core, and finally gather a small group of a township and a county.

Yang Chao acquiesced in the power of these leaders, telling them to let them follow with the people, don't mess around, and give them the benefit of sending some extra food.

At the beginning of May, Yang Chao took many men's headquarters as the forerunner, thousands of people pulled fiber, played the crown prince sent by Xuzhou and Jining, and went south with great fanfare, followed by hundreds of thousands of people, and found that most of them were willing to go with the prince, and finally those hesitant refugees also followed, and the last one to press the formation was the 10,000 recruits newly formed by Lu Mo plus Hu Quan's artillery team.

The elite soldiers protected the prince in front, and the common people followed in the middle, and finally there was Lu Mo pressing the formation, there was still a certain distance between the three teams, and the people were not allowed to get close to the prince, and they kept a hundred zhang, and the common people also maintained this distance from Lu Mo's army.

But the long marching procession was stretched out ten miles away, after all, it was a team of more than 300,000 people.

As a result, when they arrived in Jining, tens of thousands of refugees followed, all of whom were refugees from Shandong, who fled because of the military borders of Liu Zeqing and Gao Jie and the conquest of Li Zicheng's army.

Refugees gathered along the way, but fortunately, the continuous delivery of grain along the canal was barely able to support the minimum calorie supply for hundreds of thousands of people every day.

For these sick and dead people, Yang Chao immediately organized the people to bury them to avoid the plague.

Although there were dead people, the number still expanded rapidly, and by the time they arrived in Xuzhou, 500,000 people had followed.

Although the supply pressure caused by the refugees is very great, Yang Chao still fully accepts these refugees, not because Yang Chao has any special intentions, but because Yang Chao is out of humanitarian feelings, he is worried that if he can't stabilize the Jiangnan form in a few months, and immediately go north, Shandong and even the area north of the Yangtze River will inevitably be invaded by the Manchu Qing who entered the customs, and few of these people may survive at that time.

If Yang Chao can take one away, he will save one more person, so he will do his best to obey the fate of heaven.

But such a large team frightened the states and counties along the way.

Every state and county is ready to fight, and the soldiers are kicking the city, and the armor is sharp.

Yang Chao asked people to convey the will of the crown prince, telling these states and counties that refugees would not enter the city, and hoped that the states and counties would provide some supplies, food, firewood and clean water.

Although Huai'an, Xuzhou, and other places have already put into effect, relying on the financial and material resources of Huai'an and other places, supporting more than 500,000 people to eat and drink is already the limit, and thousands of boats are shuttling on the canal at the risk of being routed and plundered by bandits, and they can barely maintain the food supply of more than 500,000 people for a day.

With the ability of Huai'an and other state capitals, it is already very difficult to increase so much supply, and with the financial resources of the Wang family and the Du family, it is actually very painful to buy these grains, and it is impossible for them to break the family, so it is indeed very difficult for Yang Chao to bring these people, so it is impossible to increase the number of ships or goods.

However, the difficulties were compensated for by an additional compensation, and the states and counties along the way saw hundreds of thousands of people following the crown prince southward in an orderly manner, and the crown prince also tried his best to provide them with shelter, and the people were grateful to the crown prince, and the states and counties along the way immediately began to sing praises of the crown prince's benevolence.

It's just that the crown prince didn't show up once, so he hid in the boat, and didn't have half of the intention of consoling and caring for the refugees, but Yang Chao was as tired as a dog, but most of the merits were counted on the prince, which made Yang Chao a little crying and laughing.

The closer to Huai'an, the less risk it takes, the less time it takes, the better the logistical situation, and the food supply for the refugees has also increased, from an average of half a catty of rice per person per day in the past to 10 taels, an increase of 2 taels.

Therefore, Yang Chao's situation is getting better and better.

But the closer Yang Chao got to Huai'an, the more it made Nanjing Fuwang Group feel in crisis. (To be continued.) )
