Chapter 516: Tianjin is yours
After leaving Fuzhou, Zhang Ru rode his horse all the way, and rushed to Xuanfu with 3,000 people within seven days.
The road was unimpeded, and no one in the guard post along the way asked who these people were, and they swaggered for thousands of miles.
There are people who want to intercept it, but the three thousand well-equipped iron horsemen do not dare to provoke easily.
To say that the most well-equipped troops of the Ming Dynasty are none other than the men and horses under the command of Zhang Ru.
After arriving at Xuanfu, Zhang Ru did not go to Fan Tong first, after all, he didn't know where Fan Tong lived.
Wealthy businessman Xie Fu.
Xie Hongtu, the eldest son who has taken charge of the family's finances today, is very happy that the people and horses stopped outside the city gate are old people he has not seen for many years.
He personally went to the gate of the city to greet him, but he never thought that the gate guard seemed to know his old man, and had already let him in.
Of course, the 3,000 men and horses did not enter the Xuanfu Guancheng, which is also the duty of those soldiers, and now the 300,000 troops are besieging the city in Fuzhou, and they put the 3,000 men and horses into the Xuanfu.
The person who came in was naturally Zhang Ru, who had been in the dust all the way, he ordered the team to rest temporarily, and after listening to Meng Fu's deployment, he entered Guancheng and found an inn to prepare for a wash.
As soon as he entered the room, the bath soup prepared by Xiao Er had just been poured into the wooden barrel, and Zhang Ru, who had taken off all his clothes and pants, put one foot into the wooden barrel, and the other foot was still outside, and the door of the inn was knocked.
"Who?" Zhang Ru shouted very vigilantly.
He deliberately lowered his voice to avoid that the people outside the door were his enemies, and he heard his voice for the first time.
"Hahaha, you're really easy for me to find! If you want to wash off the dust along the way, there is no need to find an inn! Could it be that my humble house will still stain your body? The voice outside the door was familiar, and there was a hint of complaint in his tone.
Zhang Ru's heart was relieved, and he said through the door: "I just made myself naked, and you came to the door, could it be that you have the good of Longyang, and you came over to see my naked body?" ”
The people outside the door feigned anger: "It's really a dog biting Lu Dongbin who doesn't know the hearts of good people, I came to pick you up with good intentions, and you didn't say anything about it when you entered the city yourself, and you ridiculed me." I should have known that I should have let your brother be captured by those people in the capital, so that I would not offend many people in the court. ”
Zhang Ru said with a smile while scrubbing his body: "If you really do that, I guess the first thing I did when I came this time was not to go into the inn to take a bath, but to go to your house to get your head." ”
The person outside the door said with a little grievance: "I knew you were so ruthless, I really shouldn't have known you." Isn't it just not to save your brother, you say that I don't have a problem with this friend if he doesn't have to do it, and you want my head, your heart is really not small. ”
Zhang Ru said: "I believe you are not that kind of person, in case you are that kind of person, I have to make you unable to be an adult." ”
The person outside the door sighed: "Fortunately, I am friends with you and not enemies, otherwise I don't know how miserable it would be!" Let's talk about it first, this time I have to stay in Xuanfu for a few more days, don't keep thinking about leaving Xuanfu. Your little bullshit is so big, it's normal to live and die, don't be pretentious with me. ”
Zhang Ru sighed: "I understand your kindness, and when this time is over, you can accompany you as much as you want." It's really not time for this time, and it's time for the chess game to come to an end, so you have to put more effort into it. ”
He was very fast, and by the time he said this, he had almost finished his bath.
To put it bluntly, it's not called a bath, it's just soaking the body with cold water, then adding fragrant pancreas, and then rinsing it off with water.
Opening the door, Xie Hongtu stood outside.
This son of an invisible rich businessman in the Ming Dynasty is a complete rich second generation. But he is different from the average Yanai, and the things he pursues are much more high-end than those people pursue.
When others were still flying eagles, he was already able to take three or five scholars to check the accounts of various stores. When others were living in the ********, he had already used his friend, Zhang Ru, the Marquis of Dingbian, to occupy a very important position in Fuzhou's maritime merchants.
In the final analysis, the reason why Wenxuan was able to transfer all the industries overnight was all thanks to Xie Hongtu's help.
In the eyes of outsiders, there is not much intersection between Zhang Ru and Xie Hongtu, and it is Zhang Ru's first trip to Datong to meet Xie Hongtu, and he lived in Xie Hongtu's mansion for a few days.
Who knows, in private, the correspondence between the two has never been broken, and many things are difficult for Zhang Ru to come forward, and Xie Hongtu has come forward.
Among them, there are some secret connections with Zhang An.
You must know that after Jinyiwei changed hands, Zhang Ru's control over Jinyiwei was much weaker, and as time went by, the letters that no one dared to check before gradually became unsightly to check.
Those letters that cannot be delivered through the right channels are basically through the operation of the goods of the firm, and finally reach the hands of the recipient.
Xie Hongtu gave Zhang Ru a bear hug: "I have a tail behind me, I guess it's Jinyiwei's people, don't make a noise." ”
Zhang Ru whispered in Xie Hongtu's ear: "Don't be quiet, this tail came in with me, and it has nothing to do with you." He is not a person from Jinyiwei, his style is not like Jinyiwei's style, it seems that he should be from Dongchang. Only the people in Dongchang will hide their heads and tails like this, and they can't hide their tracks well. ”
Xie Hongtu slapped Zhang Ru's back vigorously with his hand, and at the same time whispered very cautiously: "It's okay? ”
Zhang Ru said lightly: "It's okay, but I estimate that I will leave later today, and Fan Tong will take care of you now in Xuanfu." ”
Xie Hongtu said: "You can't always treat me as a subordinate!" I can save Fan Tongyi, I don't think I can save him every time. Besides, I wasted a lot of things this time to save Fan Tong, and you have to compensate me. ”
Zhang Ru said: "I know what you helped me, don't worry, I won't let you suffer." By the way, the next time you talk to me, don't be so philistine, we're friends, I'm not your customer. ”
Xie Hongtu sneered: "Hehe, I'm used to it." ”
Zhang Ru lowered his voice and said: "After this matter is completed, I will return to Fuzhou, and it is not surprising that Your Majesty should strongly support all my initiatives, and Tianjin will be yours at that time." ”
Xie Hongtu was taken aback when he heard his words, his head was raised high, and Zhang Ru took the opportunity to separate from him and said loudly: "I don't have the good of Longyang, don't hold it for so long, otherwise those big girls and little daughters-in-law who fell in love with me at first sight should be sad." ”
