The location of the station is different, and the scenery seen is of course different.

Liu Suifeng is planning for Zhai Zhe, but in Zhai Zhe's eyes, he is the whole Ming Dynasty.

If the Qing captives were allowed to hold the counterattack of the Ming army in Huguang, or even defeat the Ming army in Huguang, Jiangnan would face pressure from both directions.

Is centralization more preferred, or is it more preferable to stabilize the war situation? Zhai Zhe's contradiction is here.

Huguang is in the upper reaches of the south of the Yangtze River, if He Tengjiao is defeated, the Qing court can go down the river, or cross the river in Yangzhou, and Jiangnan will face a situation of being attacked from both sides. He had become Dorgon's number one enemy, and Jiangnan would face the greatest pressure from the Qing court.

He had to make a decision as much as he could.

The West Lake is very beautiful, and he is far from the time to return to the field.

No one can share anything with him, and this is the loneliness of those in high positions. Zhai Zhe now understands that it is no wonder that the emperor would call himself "lonely" or "widowed".

After resting in West Lake for nearly a month, he took the time to walk around Hu Guanghou's Yuhang weapons workshop.

Hangzhou has the convenience of canals and water transportation on the Xin'an River, and Hu Guanghou's weapons workshop has more than 2,000 people, which is more than a few months ago, and many of them are newly recruited apprentices. Zong Mao's order will be placed until the middle of next year, and half of the deposit will be paid immediately after the firearm leaves the factory, and the other half will be paid two months after delivery.

Hearing is false, seeing is believing, and after walking around, Zhai Zhe is very satisfied. Jiangnan's production capacity of firearms and armor has doubled compared with half a year ago, and there is no longer any problem with the poor quality in the past. The reason why Zong Mao wanted to press the money for two months was to wait for the feedback from the non-commissioned officers of the barracks. He was right, as long as he had money to earn, maybe in a few years, he should worry that the firearms and armor produced would have nowhere to go.

Hangzhou is calm, Nanjing is noisy.

More than a month later, the scientific expedition in Nanjing was over, and this scientific expedition was different from the previous ones.

Zhai Zhe returned to Zhenjiang.

When he was hidden in Hangzhou, there were various theories in the city of Nanjing, and when he arrived in Zhenjiang, it seemed that he had disappeared overnight, and no courtiers dared to talk about it at will.

Zhu Yujian only let out some rumors first, of course, he would not have the illusion that Zhai Zhe would really hand over Tian Fu to the imperial court. This is not only related to the south of the Yangtze River, but also Huguang, Fujian, Guangdong, and Guangxi, which affects the whole body, and he pins his hopes on He Tengjiao. As long as Huguang stabilizes his foothold and can firmly support the imperial court, he can act step by step.

Zhai Zhe did not enter Nanjing, and the qiē born there has nothing to do with him now.

In the middle of the month, very bad news came from Huguang, He Tengjiao led the East Road army from Yuezhou to attack Wuchang, and was defeated by the Qing captivity Belle Ke Dehun led the army, and the defeated army of 50,000 or 60,000 retreated to Changsha.

After Zhai Zhe and Zheng Zhilong discussed, he wrote a letter asking for his life, willing to lead the army west to aid Huguang.

Zhu Yujian was disappointed and frightened, he didn't expect He Tengjiao, whom he had high hopes for, to be so unbearable. Although the Huguang army was defeated, the Hubei campaign was still in progress, and Du Yinxi was besieging Jingzhou, and there were nearly 100,000 people under He Tengjiao. On the grounds that the Jiangnan defense line was more important, he categorically rejected Zhai Zhe's request.

If General Pinglu's power is expanded to Huguang, he will no longer have the capital to bargain with the military town, and it is not an exaggeration to say that Huguang is his lifeline.

Zhai Zhe wrote again, and Zhu Yujian rejected it again.

The envoy of the imperial court hurriedly went to Nanchang to recruit Jin Shenghuan, and Zhu Yujian promised in a secret letter that if Jin Shenghuan shaved anyway, he would rush to Huguang and defeat the Qing soldiers to be crowned king. Since he has already sealed two kings, he is not afraid of sealing another one, and it will be worthless if there are more princes.

The city of Nanjing was immersed in an atmosphere of anticipation, and only a handful of people here were paying attention to the war in Huguang.

Most of the talk in Fireworks Willow Lane is the topic of scientific research, and the banks of the Qinhuai River are lively again.

The opening of the imperial court this time was driven to the shelves by the Pingyu General's Mansion, and Zhu Yujian was mostly focused on Huguang, and Zhu Dadian was always in charge of it.

On the eighth day of the first month, the imperial court posted a list.

A bunch of scholars did not go home for the Spring Festival, they were all waiting for this moment.

Looking at the list from beginning to end, there were not many people who were not admitted to the exam, and the scene sighed. In the middle of the morning, it was the time when the most scholars watched the list, and many people were depressed and crowded out. Suddenly, a young scholar stood up and shouted: "I know that Tanhua Hu Jincai, who can't even write his own name, how did he become Tanhua." ”

He waved his arms, grabbed the people around him, and shouted: "Everyone, stop, don't go, the court is unfair, this scientific expedition is boring." ”

The crowd around him stopped, all looking at this man with suspicion.

"I am Zhou Di of Huizhou Mansion, that Hu Jin is my fellow villager, it is true that the Hu family is rich, but the son of the Hu family is also famous for not learning and not knowing.

As soon as he said this, he had a nose and eyes, and the person who was supposed to leave turned back.

The soldiers didn't dare to do anything to these soldiers, and they were helpless when they saw the messy scene, so they immediately went to report to the officials.

Zhou Di stood in the middle of the field, looked at the crowd gradually gathering around him, and said: "Hu Jincai spent the night on the bank of the Qinhuai River yesterday, and if you don't believe it, follow me to see if what I said is true or false." ”

Seeing the excitement, they were not afraid of big things, and the scholars who did not pass the exam were feeling aggrieved, and more than 300 people immediately followed Zhou Di and went in the direction of the Qinhuai River.

When the soldiers of Ying Tianfu rushed to the Qinhuai River, they saw a white and chubby middle-aged man surrounded by a group of angry scholars, it was Hu Jincai, the new science detective.

"That's this man!"

This time, the soldiers were no longer polite, and each of them was beaten with sticks, and he was about to drive the soldiers away, and two rows of city defense soldiers rushed from the street around the corner.

These men were not holding clubs, but long knives.

For a young man, his face was still childish, and he spoke like an old-fashioned person: "Staying in the capital, where did the soldiers dare to whip the soldiers on the street, and they didn't stop me." ”

The person who came was Xu Du's son, Xiao Zhiyan's righteous son Xu Yiyang, who brought these two hundred soldiers to the Qinhuai River in the early morning to ambush, and finally waited for this time.

The soldiers of the Admiral's Mansion were under the control of Zhu Dadian, and the soldiers of the city defense had always entered the water and did not violate the river, and when they saw the large number of people on the opposite side, they remembered the order conveyed by the Shangguan and were in a dilemma for a while.

Xu Yiyang stood on the periphery, pointed to Zhou Di and Hu Jincai, who were tied together, and ordered: "Bring those two people to me." ”

Two brightly armored soldiers stepped forward and snatched the two out like eagles catching chickens.

Ding Qian, a soldier from Ying Tianfu, didn't know Xu Yiyang, but he knew that these people's posture was not easy to mess with, so he stepped forward with a smile on his face and arched his hand: "This little brother ......"

Xu Yiyang coughed lightly, and a murderous man behind him pulled out his knife and stood up, the tip of the knife pointed directly at the throat of the general manager, and shouted: "Hou Ye's son, you dare to call him a brother?" ”

That man is a personal soldier who has followed Xiao Zhiyan for ten years, his movements are extremely fast, and the sharp blade tightly presses that Qianzong, and a coolness penetrates into the skin.

Mr. Qian immediately opened his hands, looked down with his eyes, and said tremblingly: "The villain knows that he is wrong!" ”

Xu Yiyang waved his hand, turned around and commanded, "Xiao Shi, go!" ”

Xiao Shi put away his knife, and the city defense soldiers escorted Zhou Di and Hu Jin before leaving, and left behind Xu Yiyang. Ying Tianfu's Qian Zong was frightened by the ferocity of Xu Yiyang and Xiao Shi, and did not dare to compete with the city defense soldiers, so he sent people back to report to him, and asked people to follow Xu Yiyang and others.

The battle on the banks of the Qinhuai River lasted for a short time, from the time Zhou Di brought a group of unsuccessful scholars to find out Hu Jincai, to Xu Yiyang's appearance and took away these people, there were only two quarters of an hour in total. Some people in the nearby river square poked their heads out to watch the excitement, and some people hid behind the curtains to peek at the scene.

In a river square not far from here, four scribes and two women were chatting there, and a scribe with a thin face waited for these people to walk away, turned his head and sat in, and sneered: "It's nothing to see, dog eats dog, Zhu Dadian is in trouble." ”

He saw a woman still standing at the window, thinking about the city guards Ding Yuan, and said impatiently: "Hedongjun, what are you still looking at?" ”

Liu Ru retreated from the window, her brows still locked, and said, "That young man, I've seen it!" ”

"Which one?"

"That young man is the righteous son of General Xiao of Jingying!" She turned her head and saw Hou Fangyu's face full of puzzlement, and explained: "That is, Gu Mei's righteous son." ”

"Gu Mei? She's on the top now! Hou Fangyu's tone was sour. At the beginning, a woman like Gu Mei posted it to him as a concubine, and he wouldn't ask for it, but now she has become the first-class lady of the imperial court and the wife of the Hou Ye.

"Zhu Dadian is really going to be in trouble!" Liu sighed. Now that the gods are fighting, it's better for them to stay away. Jiangnan Shizi is nothing more than a tool for the game between General Pingyu and the imperial court.

Hou Fangyu was indignant and said: "Zhu Dadian is not a good thing, so he almost reached out to ask others for money!" ”

They were talking about the intervention of the generals and warriors in the government, but now they turned to attack Zhu Dadian. People sitting in the court will inevitably be scolded, which is the custom of the Ming Dynasty.

The farce on the release day spread rapidly, and a group of scholars were reluctant to disperse, and crowded in Yingtianfu to ask for an explanation. It is mainly a scholar in eastern Zhejiang, and there are other counties and counties. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that it would be strange if there was no one behind this kind of thing.

Zhu Dadian was anxious.

As long as Hu Jincai is caught in his hands, there is still room for redemption, and seeing that Ying Tianfu soldiers returned empty-handed, he knew that there was a big trouble.

In his capacity as a cabinet assistant, he urgently summoned Xiao Zhiyan's dignitaries.

But Xiao Zhiyan just prevaricated, saying that this matter is a matter of importance and related to the stability of Jiangnan, and he has already reported to Zheng Zhilong and Xiao Zhiyan, the two princes, and will discuss it when the two princes arrive.

In the cold winter, the city of Nanjing is in an inexplicable excitement.

None of the scholars who failed to leave the list left, and on that day, the soldiers of Yingtianfu beat the soldiers on the banks of the Qinhuai River, causing many people to be dissatisfied, and the government and the opposition were scolding endlessly. Zhu Dadian was domineering, and he was in a hurry to rescue Hu Jincai, so he made a mistake.

Zhai Zhe and Zheng Zhilong entered Nanjing City two days later, and Zhu Dadian urgently went to the palace to meet him.
