Chapter 254: Meet
Zhang Jingxian left Dinghai gloomily and returned to Ningbo City, and was led to the government by the government officials as soon as he entered the city, and met Zhu Zhikui, a fellow acquaintance of Ningbo. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info Zhang Jingxian told Zhu Zhikui the meaning of going to Ren Siqi.
"This, this surname Ren is so bold?" Zhu Zhikui was furious, but what followed was fear.
If Ren Siqi really attacked Ningbo brazenly, then the paper would no longer be able to contain the fire, and it would definitely cause the imperial court to shake. Most of the land in Jiangbei has been lost, and the rich Jiangnan area is the last honor guard of the Southern Ming court.
And as a fellow governor of Ningbo, in the case of a vacancy in the prefect, he is the highest governor, and he has the responsibility to defend the territory.
"Brother Zhang, you are from a Yinxian family, and you have a lot of relationship with that general, so you didn't persuade him to quit the army?" Zhu Zhikui walked up to Zhang Jingxian in a few steps and asked eagerly.
"Lord Fuzun, the little girl and Ren Siqi had a marriage contract, but it has been dissolved, and this matter is well known to everyone in Yinxian County." Zhang Jingxian hurriedly cleared himself.
"Brother Zhang misunderstood, I didn't doubt what you meant." Zhu Zhikui waved his hand and said, "I mean, in Yinxian County, you may be the person who has the deepest relationship with General Ren, you must know his true intentions, is he really going to send troops to Ningbo, or is he just lying and intimidating?" β
"This ......" Zhang Jingxian hesitated for a moment, "Yufuzun, I really can't take this." When I saw Ren Siqi, he swore an oath, and said that he must send troops to Ningbo and give those families a little color. β
"Oh, that's it!" Zhu Zhikui's expression calmed down, and he turned around and sat back in his seat.
"Brother Zhang, you've worked hard, go home and rest!"
"What do you think, Master Kong?" Zhu Zhikui asked the general judge Kong Wenyu on the side with a relaxed expression.
Kong Wenyu said with a smile: "Lord Fuzun already has an idea in his heart, so why bother to take the school again." However, according to the lower officials, the bell still needs to be tied to the bell, since the trouble is caused by those families, let them have a headache by themselves! β
From Zhang Jingxian's words, it can be seen that Ren Siqi only sent troops blatantly because he was not angry that the family colluded with Wang Zhiren to attack Cen Gang. And although Ren Siqi himself is domineering, he has no intention of rebelling, he may really come to Ningbo, but he will never attack the city. β
Zhu Zhikui laughed: "Master Kong knows my heart very well." In this way, you go to Yang's house and warn them sternly, so that they can solve the trouble they caused and clean their butts. Otherwise, I will write to the court and inform the court of the whole story, and then don't blame me for being unsympathetic! β
"Yes, the next official will go. These families are making too much trouble, controlling the locality, smuggling and prosecuting widows, and taking up lawsuits, and they don't pay attention to the government at all. It's time to teach them a lesson! Kong Wenyu said with great interest.
The Yang family slaughtered the family, which family has Jinshi Juren, and there are people who are officials in the court. On weekdays, even Zhu Zhikui is unwilling to offend them easily. But these people are too disrespectful, and they never take Ningbo Mansion in their eyes.
The profits of going to sea are so large that everyone knows that these people control the sea trade, and each family has hundreds of thousands of taels of silver every year, but they never refuse to share profits with Zhu Zhikui and others. Now that there is finally a chance to rectify them, Zhu Zhikui and Kong Wenyu are naturally unwilling to let go.
Besides, Zhang Jingxian, after leaving the mansion, he was immediately stopped by the servants of the Yang family who had been waiting outside the mansion for a long time, and led him to the Yang mansion. Yang Bingnai, Tu Xianchen and others were waiting there, waiting for Zhang Jingxian's reply.
Zhang Jingxian didn't say anything more, he repeated Ren Siqi's reply, ignored everyone's retention, and immediately left. He didn't want to get involved in this matter anymore, and decided that no matter who came out to plead in the future, he would never get involved in this matter again. Ren Siqi and the Yang family Tu family have their own calculations, and they are not fucking good things. If he is too involved, Zhang Jingxian is afraid that he will be implicated. Now he suddenly became suspicious of Yang Bingnai's marriage with himself.
Zhang Jingxian returned to the mansion, and before he could sit down, he saw his wife crying and crying in front of him.
"Master, you're finally back!"
"What's wrong again?" Zhang Jingxian asked tiredly.
"Master, Pujia, Pujia is gone early in the morning." Madame wept.
"What? Where did she go, did she leave a message? Zhang Jingxian jumped up suddenly.
"Left a letter saying that she was going to Dinghai and asked Ren Siqi to quit the army." Mrs. handed a piece of paper to Zhang Jingxian and cried bitterly: "Ren Siqi rebelled in Dinghai, there was chaos outside, she, she was a weak woman, if there were three long and two short, how could I live!" β
Zhang Jingxian stretched out his trembling hand, took the letterhead, and looked carefully, and saw a few lines of juanxiu handwriting written on it, which was Zhang Pujia's handwriting.
"Parents are above, please redeem your daughter's unfilial piety and say goodbye without saying goodbye. Ren Siqi brazenly raised troops and captured Dinghai, which was a great rebellion. Although her daughter had no marriage contract with Siqi, she didn't want him to go astray and become a rebel and thief. Therefore, he went to Dinghai to persuade Siqi to quit the army. Dozens of miles of water in Dinghai, Yinxian County, my daughter will return in a few days, and parents should not read it! β
"This unfilial girl, I'm so angry!" Zhang Jingxian sat back in his chair, and the letter paper fell from his weak hand, falling to the ground like a fallen leaf.
"Master, what should I do?" Madame suddenly grabbed Zhang Jingxian's arm and shook it.
"What else can I do? Spread my word, don't make a noise about this, and tell everyone who knows the inside story to be careful. If this matter goes out of the house, our Zhang family will become a laughing stock! A yellow flower woman dared to go out to find a man without permission, and outsiders didn't know what to say! β
......
In Dinghai, the whole army of Daishan Army was in a state of jubilation. It was an unprecedented victory. The opponent is not a rabble of pirates, but the regular troops of the Ming Dynasty, which are the most powerful naval army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang!
After the first battle, more than 50 warships were captured, and the lair of Dinghai Wang Zhiren was captured. There are more than 30 large and small artillery pieces on the Dinghai Customs Fort alone, of which there are as many as 10 red-coated cannons.
Ren Siqi had already ordered all the artillery to be unloaded and shipped back to Daishan. The copper and iron that Daishan had purchased before had been basically exhausted, and ten red-coated cannons were built, as well as several small cannons for land warfare. This batch of artillery will be a good addition, and the next step is to think of shipbuilding, modeled on the model of Western ships, to build a warship that can carry a large number of guns. If there are twenty sailing ships like the "Princess", it is enough to run rampant in the Daming Sea, and no one can beat it!
In addition to the most valuable artillery, countless other materials were captured, such as spears, swords, shields, gunpowder, military uniforms, armor, and countless other substances.
Wang Zhiren poured out of the nest, and all the family funds stayed in Dinghai, which was cheap for Ren Siqi.
According to statistics, there are more than 2,000 spears and more than 1,000 shields in the Dinghai treasury alone, and what interests Ren Siqi the most is the armor, and there are more than 100 fish scale armors in the Dinghai treasury.
A strong army, not only attacking, but also have enough defensive power, take the Daishan army as an example, this battle, more than 200 casualties, of which more than 100 died under the arrow. If each person has one set of armor, the casualty rate will be greatly reduced.
The Daishan Army was founded, but the foundation was really insufficient, and the muskets and spears were still not fully equipped, not to mention the armor. Moreover, the armor is not made as much as others, and its craftsmanship is very complicated, and it is not something that can be made by those craftsmen of the Daishan Army.
Now, with Wang Zhiren's lair and a large amount of materials seized, the foundation of the Daishan Army will be greatly improved, and the combat effectiveness will be raised to a higher level. Compared with these strategic materials that are not easy to buy with money, the 50,000 or 60,000 taels of silver seized are nothing!
Song Liben and his people were busy taking inventory, and the materials that had been counted would be loaded onto the ship and transported back to Daishan Island.
Ren Siqi was busy when Xiong Er suddenly appeared in front of him with a strange smile on his face.
"What's the matter, you're smiling so happily, your wife is born?" Ren Siqi didn't have a good airway.
Xiong Er has worked hard day and night since marrying Widow Li, and Widow Li finally became pregnant a year ago.
"It's early, she said, it should be born in September." Xiong Erurn said.
"Xiucai, someone is looking for you, you can't guess who it is?" Xiong Er said mysteriously to Ren Siqi.
Now in the Daishan Army, there are only a few people such as Xiong Ermao and Eighteen who still call Ren Siqi by Xiucai, but they are only called in private. For Ren Siqi, the general's inspection or something is far worse than Xiucai's listening.
"Who the hell is it? I don't have time to guess. Ren Siqi said impatiently.
"Alas, you're really boring," Xiong Er said stupidly, seeing that Ren Siqi glared at him, he didn't dare to sell Guan Zi again, "It's Miss Zhang, it's your former fiancΓ©e." She's looking for you! β
Zhang Pujia, why is she here? Ren Siqi stood up suddenly and walked outside quickly.
"Hey, she's closing it." Xiong Er shouted behind Ren Siqi.
"Miss Huang in Zhoushan hasn't been solved yet, and now there's another Miss Zhang, it's really troublesome." Xiong Er muttered.
She stood by the river under the gate, standing by the water, the soft green silk fluttering with the river breeze, and the cyan curtain covering her face, but her graceful figure was still so familiar.
At this moment, the busy situation has long been left behind, and the landscape of X-Trail is completely ignored.
At this moment, the other scenes completely disappeared from Ren Siqi's eyes, and Ren Siqi's eyes only had her, the woman standing near the water!
"Pu Jia!" Ren Siqi called softly, and there was a slight tremor in his dry voice.
"Hmm." She hummed, raised her hand slightly, lifted the curtain attached to her face, and a beautiful face suddenly appeared in front of Ren Siqi.
At this moment, there is only her in Ren Siqi's eyes, only that familiar and beautiful face, and everything else can no longer be seen. (To be continued.) )
