Yang Chao could not stay in the barracks and left the barracks the day after recruitment, because there was very bad news in Nanjing.

It's not about the fourth son, it's not about the Erli Society, it's not about the government.

But where did Wang Xiao come from, it was the news of Yang Chao's family.

During this time, Yang Chao has always been more concerned about the news of his family, and even asked Wang Xiao to send someone back to inquire.

It's only been ten days, and it is said that the news did not come back so soon, but the news is coming.

It turned out that the Yang family did set off at the beginning of the lunar month, but when they arrived in Suzhou, they were robbed by a group of scholars.

After the boatman of the Wang family dragged the scholar who grabbed the boat to Nanjing, he notified Wang Xiao, who felt that the situation was serious and immediately told Yang Chao.

"What about my father and mother, what about my sister? Where are the people now? ”

As soon as he heard the news, Yang Chao became angry, and immediately couldn't care about anything else, what the fourth son, what the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War, what promotion and wealth, all of them couldn't take care of.

"Brother Yang, don't worry, uncle, aunt and Ling Meiji have their own natural appearance, and they will definitely be fine. I've already sent someone to Suzhou to investigate, maybe there will be news in a few days. ”

Wang Xiao comforted.

Yang Chao said: "No, I want to go to Suzhou in person." ”

"Ahh

Wang Xiao exclaimed: "Don't do it, the current situation in Nanjing, how can it end up Brother Yang." ”

Yang Chao smiled bitterly: "I can't care so much." Let Xiong Mingyu ask for more blessings for them. ”

It's all because Xiong Mingyu doesn't talk about credit, otherwise Yang Chao has no need to help the fourth prince build momentum, help the fourth prince make suggestions, let them take the opportunity to set up a society, and suddenly raise the height of the four to the level of Zhang Pu, who is more than Chinese New Year's Eve years old.

Wang Xiao sighed and said, "Okay, Brother Yang, when will you go." I arrange the boat. ”

To get to Suzhou, you have to take the canal and you have to take a boat. Because whether it's on horseback, or in a carriage. The boat will not get tired, it can move continuously, but it is much faster than the horse.

It's just that Yang Chao's big ship can't enter the canal, so he can only borrow a Wang family's boat.

Yang Chao thought for a while and said, "As soon as possible!" ”

Wang Xiao said: "That's good." Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, my family will have a ship to Nanjing, and Brother Yang will go to Suzhou at that time. ”

Yang Chao sighed: "That's all it can be." ”

After saying that, he rushed back to the barracks, he didn't want to go alone. This time, I have to take someone with me, in case the family encounters an accident, someone in hand is easy to deal with.

If you encounter a scholar making trouble and affecting the safety of your family, don't blame Yang Chao for being a killer.

Xiong Mingyu has not had a good time these days.

Just because he didn't want to put himself in it didn't mean he didn't want to get the scholar to stop making noise as soon as possible.

A few days ago, he and Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites met with the four sons of Jinling and made some promises to them, such as promising not to take out the scholar's academic records and not to remove some famous people. However, they said that they could not punish the emperor's relatives Tian Wan, and the so-called handing over Tian Wan was even more nonsense, because Tian Wan was no longer in Nanjing. I have long since returned to Beijing.

The fourth prince also knew that he wanted to punish Tian Wan, but the Nanjing government did not have this power, so the emperor had the final say, not to mention that Tian Wan was the father of Chongzhen's beloved concubine and Chongzhen's father-in-law.

Anyway, after the fourth prince passed this arrest and release, he was already famous in Jiangnan. Faintly became the leader among the young scholars in Jiangnan, and they got everything they wanted. Therefore, I don't want to make extraneous complications, after getting the government's guarantee. They were going to take it when they saw it.

As a result, it seems that the scholarly commotion is about to subside.

But suddenly, the fourth prince set up a second society, the first time there were 300 people to join, these people are obviously diehards, not afraid of the government's threat of going to school, redressing fame, and not afraid of the government arresting people, this is not counting, Suzhou, Hangzhou's scholars, still a group of people rushed to Nanjing, these scholars who can come all the way to Nanjing, are obviously diehards, and as soon as they come, they even chose to join the Erli Society without scruples.

The joining of these die-hard elements also brought a tough character to Erlishe, and they re-proposed to punish Tian Wan, and also sent a note to the emperor to ask them to hand it over, looking at those blood books that I don't know if they were written in pig blood or sheep blood, Xiong Mingyu was very unappetizing.

But at this time, he found that Yang Chao didn't care about it, and he didn't have any ideas at all, so that Feng Kezong, the brocade guard who jumped out to do things, was directly blinded, and he was in a hurry recently.

The sudden turn of the situation made Xiong Mingyu think of Yang Chao again.

Previously, he had put Yang Chao aside, and when he saw that the scholars had regained their senses, he directly talked to the scholars, and now the scholars were crazy again, and he didn't want to set himself on fire, so he thought of Yang Chao again.

But when he thought of Yang Chao, Xiong Mingyu was a little embarrassed, because he had promised Yang Chao something, he might not be able to do it.

Last time, he promised Yang Chao to give him an explanation within three days, and Yang Chao promised to solve the commotion within ten days, Yang Chao did suppress the commotion through a series of actions, but Xiong Mingyu couldn't give Yang Chao an explanation.

Because he found that the matter of Yang Chao's military exploits was too complicated, it was not the two yamen of the military preparation road and the imperial history of the patrol river, but directly involved the yamen of the imperial envoy of the Caojiang capital.

After Emperor Chongzhen came to power, he changed the practice of being in charge of this yamen by civil officials in the past few decades, and appointed the lord as the governor of Caojiang.

If it is a civil official, Xiong Mingyu always has three points of thin face and some friendship, but after these founding heroes, under normal circumstances, there is very little interaction with civil officials, so Xiong Mingyu is a little unable to intervene in the hand of the Yamen of the Admiral of Caojiang.

Through official channels, he only knew that Yang Chao's merit report documents were seized in the Caojiang Admiral Yamen, that is, there was no reason for the detainment, and he asked the Caojiang Admiral Yamen, but there was no reply, and he asked too much, and the other party directly said that the 'Jiang bandits' killed by Yang Chao were not real Jiang bandits, implying that Yang Chao killed good and risky merit.

However, Xiong Mingyu found through the understanding of the other party, and found that the merchants in the area of Xinjiangkou said that Yang Chao's warship was to help people deliver goods, and they met Jiang bandits, and then killed Jiang bandits and reported the goods, and now those merchants believe in Yang Chao very much and let Yang Chao protect them across the river.

Although Xiong Mingyu didn't fully believe it, he also knew that there must be something wrong with it.

It seems that Yang Chao offended the people of the Caojiang Admiral Yamen, but what makes Xiong Mingyu strange is that the reason why Yang Chao can be this general is that the way to go is the Caojiang Admiral Yamen, and it is recommended in the name of the Caojiang Admiral, so he became a general manager that no one does, and the relevant guarantee documents are left in the military department.

I can't figure it out, and I can't control it, so Xiong Mingyu didn't care about it, and it happened that the scholar's commotion was weakening at that time, so he didn't mention it again.

Now that the situation is serious again, Xiong Mingyu has to think about whether he has to help Yang Chao support him, and whether he has to come forward in person to meet with Gu Zhaoji, the Marquis of Zhenyuan, and let Gu Hou Ye sell him a face.

However, compared to the face of his military department, Xiong Mingyu felt that it was better to suppress Yang Chao's face.

"Someone."

Call the next person.

"You go and tell Yang Chao that he should deal with the scholar's matter for the official immediately, otherwise don't blame the official, and tell him that although he is the head of the water battalion, the military department can still control him."

The military department has the right to transfer troops, but not the right to transfer troops, and the commander of Caojiang has the right to transfer troops, but has not transferred troops.

However, the civilian government also has another power, that is, it controls the promotion of officers, and controls the payment of military salaries.

"Forget it, let's write a letter from this official."

Xiong Mingyu sprinkled a letter and immediately asked the family to send it to Yang Chao.

After Yang Chao received the letter, he just read it, he snorted coldly, slapped the letter on the table, not only did not help himself solve his military exploits, but even threatened himself.

The Ministry of War is indeed able to manage the payment of military salaries to the army, and is responsible for verifying military merits and promotions.

But Yang Chao can't be promoted now because of his merits, and as for the military salary, he has never seen it, and I heard that there is not much to deduct to the level of the thousand president, let alone the general manager, anyway, Yang Chao has never seen the military salary.

Since the military salary and military merits are not in the hands of the Ministry of War now, Yang Chao does not need the Ministry of Bird Soldiers.

In addition, he was angry and anxious because of the disappearance of his family, so he immediately wrote a letter.

Xiong Mingyu's letter was faintly threatening, and Yang Chao simply threatened and intimidated, claiming that he would resign.

After Xiong Mingyu received the reply, he immediately slapped the table and scolded Yang Chao for being a bastard. (To be continued)
