What Yang Chao didn't know was that since the scholarly commotion ended, the four princes thought that they had 'forced' the hundred officials in Jiangnan to take those dispensable impeachment chapters, and Emperor Chongzhen finally deposed Tian Wan, and the four princes suddenly thought that they had won, and it was they who forced the emperor to depose the emperor's relatives who did all kinds of evil

As the starting point of the disturbance, Meixianglou is naturally safe, the four sons don't say it, they think that they protect Meixianglou, so they often come to Meixianglou to party, plus Chen Zhenhui in the four sons is an old friend of Li Zhenli, the bustard of Meixianglou, and Meixianglou has become one of the fixed meeting points of the four sons.

And after Hou Fangyu got acquainted with Li Xiangjun, he suddenly had a good impression, and he actually had the idea of combing Li Xiangjun.

As a result, Chen Zhenhui mentioned it to Li Zhenli, Li Zhenli was very happy that her daughter had a good way out, who knew that Li Xiangjun herself disagreed.

In the original history, Hou Fangyu really won Li Xiangjun's favor, but due to the appearance of Yang Chao, Li Xiangjun's view of Hou Fangyu changed.

Originally, Hou Fangyu's handsome son with outstanding literary talents was still very popular with women, but Li Xiangjun witnessed Yang Chao secretly manipulating everything in the scholarly commotion, playing with the government and the four princes, and the four princes' impassioned style again and again, and even the reason why the four sons became famous in Jiangnan were all manipulated by Yang Chao.

But the fourth son, Hou Fangyu didn't know anything about himself, thinking that all this was obtained by them, even if someone mentioned the details to them after the matter subsided, they refused to accept it.

Therefore, Hou Fangyu is no longer a suave son in Li Xiangjun's eyes, but feels that he is a little innocent being secretly manipulated, and he really thinks that he is desperately fighting with the government without knowing it, which makes Li Xiangjun feel that Hou Fangyu is very pitiful.

If a man wants to chase a woman, he can make the woman hate you and scold you. beat you, but only can't let women pity you and sympathize with you.

Because of that pity and compassion for a lifetime. In a woman's subconscious, you have actually become weak. Unless it is a woman with overflowing motherhood, it is impossible to fall in love with a poor worm who is sympathized with by herself, and it is pitiful to really look at charity.

It's a pity that Li Xiangjun is not this kind of woman with overflowing motherhood, but an extremely strong woman, and she can't see men without ambition the most, so she has no feelings for Hou Fangyu no matter what, no matter how good his literary talent is and how good his family background is. Li Xiangjun didn't feel it, but he didn't feel it, so he always refused to agree.

But there were faint rumors that Li Xiangjun liked Yang Chao, which made Hou Fangyu secretly resentful of Yang Chao, but because of the scene, he couldn't attack, and he couldn't even move Erli Society out of Jinchai Tower, because there were already scholars who rumored that Yang Chao of Jinchai Tower secretly controlled everything, and Erli Society has always denied that if Erli Society was moved out of Jinchai Tower at this time, or launched some attacks on Yang Chao. It's easy to be thought of as revenge, and it confirms the fact that their two clubs were teased.

Therefore, the more gossip there is, the more immobile the four sons of the Erli Society are. It's as if all the rumors are false.

But it is inevitable that they will be angry with the Jinchai Building in their hearts, and even they would rather have a private meeting in Meixiang Lou than in the Jinchai Tower, which is close at hand, and they will invite Chen Yuanyuan and Dong Xiaowan from the Jinchai Building to come to Meixiang Lou.

Yang Chao has been staying in the barracks, so he doesn't know about these recent rumors in Nanjing, and Kang Cheng doesn't believe these rumors, because there are too many such rumors in Nanjing City, and they will dissipate in a short time, so he didn't tell Yang Chao.

After Yang Chao left Meixiang Building. When he returned home, he found that his uncle had arrived. A melancholy face.

My uncle already knew that he was going to go on the expedition, and he looked very worried. I tried to open my mouth several times, but I didn't say it.

In fact, Yang Chao knew what he wanted to say, he was afraid of danger, afraid that his son would not return, and wanted to open his mouth to let his son stay, but Yang Chao couldn't show favoritism at this time, and it was hard to say whether Yang Chao could come back or not, and he had never seen the combat effectiveness of the Manchurian soldiers, he only knew that it was very strong, but he had never seen it.

In fact, how could the Yang family rest assured that Yang Chao, before he went out with the order, his mother was full of tears, his father gritted his teeth vividly, and his sister couldn't stop crying.

In the end, the uncle did not speak, and Yang Chao said goodbye to his family and returned to the barracks, only to find that many soldiers had deserted, and even an important officer had fled.

Yang Chao couldn't help asking, "What about Brother Chen Bao?" ”

Zhao Kang apologized: "He was sick, he had diarrhea and couldn't get out of bed." His father came and took him away. ”

Yang Chao's mood suddenly became gloomy, and his subordinate flag chief refused to go on the expedition, what was sick, this was all an excuse, the biggest reason was that he was afraid of death and his family to stop him, but in the end he was unwilling to go on the expedition.

But Yang Chao gritted his teeth and only said yes, and then ordered the number of people to be counted.

Knowing that he was going to fight the Tartars, more than 200 soldiers from the military household of the Navy Guards quietly slipped away, Yang Chao had a way to make them be punished, and they went to the military department, and they could not escape the sanction of deserters, because they were military households, they had families, and they were not afraid of not finding them.

But Yang Chao didn't send this article immediately, because hundreds of people had a lot of paperwork, and they were already about to go out at this time, and they didn't have time to be confused with the military department at this time.

The most important thing is to reorganize the army, many teams have shortages, it is too late to reorganize, for the time being, there can only be a shortage of training, and at the same time let Zhang Dawei prepare ships, to go to Guazhou first, and then go north along the canal, to Huai'an Caoyun Governor Shi Kefa to report.

Some people are afraid that they will not come, and there are others who are desperately following.

Huang Fengfu arrived at the camp at noon, and he was very sincere to follow Yang Chao.

In fact, he had already expressed several times that he wanted to return to Yang Chao's side as a staff member, but Yang Chao didn't believe him, so he comforted him and let him stay in Erli Society, saying where he was most useful.

In fact, Yang Chao felt that he had not given any benefit to Huangfeng Mansion, but this person always showed loyalty to himself, how could this be, where was there loyalty for no reason.

In the Erli Society, Huang Fengfu is like a fish in water, and the four sons are heavy, and they have already said that as soon as the hospital opens next year, they will help him operate a show of talent and fame, but Yang Chao can't do it, because Xu Zhihuan, the imperial history of the school that Yang Chao knew, was killed by Zhang Xianzhong in Luzhou, and Yang Chao has no relationship with the Yamen.

The relationship between Yang Chao and Huang Fengfu was just that he was fooled into helping to do things for a few days, and he didn't give him any benefits, Yang Chao had the intention to win him over, but he didn't know how to win him over, Huang Fengfu is not a greedy person, but an ambitious person, and Yang Chao doesn't think that Huang Fengfu will look up to himself, because no matter how you look at it, it is much better for a scholar to take refuge in the fourth prince than to follow Yang Chao.

However, Huang Fengfu repeatedly expressed his desire to help Yang Chao do things, and wanted to leave the fourth prince's side.

If this is the idea of the fourth prince, to plant nails next to Yang Chao, Yang Chao is not convinced, the first fourth prince does not have that heart, the second fourth prince does not look down on Yang Chao, what is the purpose of planting nails next to Yang Chao, a military attaché.

So Yang Chao has always been unable to figure it out, and he can't believe it if he can't figure it out, but now he can't help but believe it.

Because Huang Fengfu wanted to go out with Yang Chao and deal with the paperwork for Yang Chao.

Other scholars trembled when they heard that they were on the battlefield, and when they heard that they were playing tartars, they were even more frightened, but Huang Fengfu took the initiative to ask for help.

Yang Chao patted him on the shoulder: "Okay!" It just so happens that I am missing a paperwork. ”

Yang Chao has always insisted on compiling files for the youngest soldier, and the official documents can only be handled by him and Hu Quan, and Lu Mo himself has to lead the troops, and his literacy level is far inferior to Yang Chao and Hu Quan, so Lu Mo can only be used as half a scholar.

Now that you join a Huangfeng Mansion, there will be one more person, and Yang Chao will be much easier.

patted Huang Fengfu again, and then called Hu Quan, introduced him, and asked Huang Fengfu to follow Hu Quan to do things.

"Can a priest really die for his confidant? Don't care about money, don't care about honor, don't care about everything, just for the grace of a knowing? ”

Yang Chao could only understand that Huang Fengfu was loyal to him out of the worldview of ancient scholars.

Yang Chao laughed at himself, maybe he was a little bit of a king.

Yang Chao originally had more than 800 soldiers, but this time there were only 612 left, less than 200.

Even the flag is always missing.

However, this flag general is also the only officer, and none of the remaining team leaders from the naval guard station have run away.

The only soldiers who escaped from the Navy Guard Station were soldiers.

This at least shows that the poor navy military households value the status of a petty officer more than the Xiaoling Wei military households.

Yang Chao deliberately waited for two more days, and as a result, more than a dozen soldiers returned.

After coming back, some of them said that they were called back by their families, some said that there was something temporary, some said that they went home to resign, and some said that they went back to give their families military salaries, and there were all kinds of reasons.

In short, they came back, and Yang Chao did not punish them without any punishment, and welcomed them back to the team.

At this time, there were 630 soldiers, which was still more than 200 short.

Yang Chao didn't wait and set off.

Three large ships were enough for all the soldiers to board the ships, and the four shallow ships with light grain were all loaded with rations and weapons, as well as large sums of silver.

Yang Chao asked Wang Xiao to prepare food, camps, and necessary supplies for his soldiers along the way, believing that as long as Yang Chao's fleet entered the canal, they would be able to get a good rest all the way.

The wind direction was not too smooth, and it took five days to start from Nanjing and arrive at the Guazhou ferry port opposite Zhenjiang.

After a full meal in Guazhou, he recuperated for half a day, and at the same time loaded with military rations, received four shallow ships of the Wang family, and then set off north again. (To be continued)
