After the Lantern Festival, willow buds.

There may be a cold spring, but the footsteps of spring can already be heard.

There are not many affairs in the Jin Palace.

Every few days, Zhai Zhe would come over to see the two Hai Dongqing. There was no hunting ground in Jiangnan, so he could only feed the two birds of prey with cut strips of meat in Fuzhong.

No matter how fierce a bird of prey is, it will become sluggish if it stays in the cage for a long time. There are guards who are specially responsible for feeding Hai Dongqing, and they often take these two eagles to hunt in the mountains and forests of Guangde Mansion.

Only those closest to them have the opportunity to accompany King Jin to watch these two Haidongqing. After Ji Hong returned to Nanjing from Huguang, he finally saw the two big birds that were rumored to be boiling in the outside world.

Zhai Zhe was throwing meat slowly, and these two Haidongqing reminded him every day of the shrewdness and ferocity of the Jurchens in Liaodong.

Ji Hong stood very close to observe, and when the male Haidong Qingci saw him, maybe the smell was wrong, he used a fierce gaze to patrol his face from time to time.

Ji Hong said: "Lord Wang, these two birds are very beautiful"

Zhai Zhe smiled very happily, Ji Hong was the only one who gave the two Hai Dongqing beautiful evaluations, and he had the same opinion. In his eyes, these two Hai Dongqing are just two ornamental birds, birds for ornamentation.

He praised: "You have a lot of vision"

Ji Hong accompanied Zhai Zhe to laugh, he used to be very fierce, so the eyes of these two birds did not fall on his face, just like a breeze.

After the envoy of the Great Western Army came to Nanjing, there was no information after returning. Ji Hong has been in the layout of Yunnan in the past few months, and he is very efficient and has gained a lot.

Zhai Zhe pointed to Hai Dongqing and asked, "Is Sun Kewang this male bird or a female bird?" ”

Ji Hong smiled: "Sun Kewang is a male bird, but several other female birds also consider themselves to be male birds."

"It's not going to be easy"

Zhai Zhe understood what Ji Hong meant. The Great Western Army does not have a unified leader, Sun Kewang, Li Dingguo and other four people have their own subordinates, and Sun Kewang's status is only similar to that of the alliance leader.

Ji Hong told Yunnan in detail: "Sun Kewang has a lot of ideas, and he will implement the unified payment of grain by the officials and gentry in Yunnan to increase military resources. The Great Western Army was originally like a dog in a hurry, but after a year's rest in Yunnan, it had recovered its vitality and gathered more than 100,000 troops, which should not be underestimated. ”

Zhai Zhe exclaimed: "He is really a male bird"

What Sun Kewang is doing in Yunnan is exactly what he wants to do yet. The place where it is managed and the forces that it relies on are different, and the decisions made are very different. Sun Kewang's Great Western Army is a guest army in Yunnan, and there is no direct external threat, so he has much less scruples about doing things, but Sun Kewang has the idea and courage to implement the integration of officials and gentry to pay food, which is enough to impress him.

"I've heard some rumors about the Great Western Thieves before they came to Nanjing last year."

"Tell me about it"

Ji Hong cleared his throat and said, "The four mansions of the Great Western Army are reorganized, and Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo were a little dirty before. Sun Kewang proposed to send someone to Nanjing to ask for the king, and Li Dingguo said that he wanted to 'want to be the king and call himself the king, why ask the Ming court to reward him,. ”

He deliberately imitated Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo's tone, as if he was telling a story, and Zhai Zhe laughed when he heard it.

"Li Dingguo is frank and sincere, but he is a little unruly, and he is afraid that he is not Sun Kewang's opponent."

Ji Hong said: "What the prince expected is true, but it is only half right"

"Oh," Zhai Zhe was surprised.

"Sun Kewang insisted on sending Pan Guofeng to Nanjing, what did the prince guess Li Dingguo said?" Ji Hong paused slightly, but he didn't dare to worry too much about Zhai Zhe's appetite, and continued: "Li Dingguo said, 'If we accept the reward from the imperial court, we will no longer be thieves, and we must be loyal to state affairs,"

Zhai Zhe reached out and touched the head of the male eagle and asked, "Oh?" Did Li Dingguo really say so? ”

The male Hai Dongqing, who did not mince words to Ji Hong, was as docile as a sheep under Zhai Zhe's palm. Livestock are like people, and they also know the trend of inflammation, these two Hai Dongqing have been by Zhai Zhe's side for half a year, and they can see who is their real master.

Ji Hong said: "That's true, the internal discord of the Great West Thief is difficult to become a climate, Sun Kewang begged the court for a reward, not really asking for surrender, but just wanted to follow the prestige of the Ming court to suppress the other three, so the lion opened his mouth." ”

Zhai Zhe nodded, only then did he understand, and said: "That's right, no wonder he is so reckless, the higher his status is to ask for a reward, the higher his prestige within the Great Western Army, and he can bargain whether he succeeds or not, and he is not in a hurry now." ”

Ji Hong said: "If the Great Western Army wants to go north, it must first solve internal discord, after the king of Zhenxi returns to the Ming Dynasty in Sichuan anyway, Sun Kewang and the other four people dare not act rashly for the time being, but they are afraid that they will let the envoy go north."

Zhai Zhe threw away the last strip of meat and said, "Then let's talk slowly, as long as they don't move, I'll be relieved."

The combat effectiveness of the Great Western Army is not bad, and there are not so many soldiers in that place in Yunnan, although he is concerned about it, he is not afraid. Now that he is sitting in the position of the general of the King of Jin, imprisoning Emperor Longwu in the deep palace, what else is there to be afraid of?

Maybe it was Li Zicheng's defeat after entering Beijing that gave him a warning, or maybe it was his relatively peaceful character, Zhai Zhe walked very steadily every step, so he might miss some opportunities, but he would not leave opportunities for others.

No matter what the decision of the Great Western Army was, it could not stop Zhai Zhe from preparing for the Northern Expedition. After the year, Feng Qin had led 20,000 people to migrate from Suzhou Mansion to a remote place in Songjiang Mansion to conduct closed training

"Fujian and Guangdong should be kept an eye on, and things in Yunnan and Sichuan have just started, but the two terrains are special, and they should not be rushed."

Ji Hong replied: "Obey"

"You are away all the year round, you have to go home often when you have time, Ningbo is no longer as quiet as before in the past six months, you can move your family to Nanjing or Suzhou"

A trace of emotion flashed in Ji Hong's eyes, and it was still those two words: "Obey"

Leaving the Jin Palace, Ji Hong took a boat south and went straight to Ningbo.

Zhai Zhe's words poked at his softest place, if the general had not yet returned from the expedition, what he was doing now was endless busyness.

He can walk the shadow of a broken arm, and he abandons martial arts and literature, and Yongying is very meritorious. If he were to choose again, he would rather go to the battlefield and break his arm again than live in the shadows.

But the king of Jin was as kind to him as a mountain, and since he was rescued from the herdsmanship, his life was the king of Jin's.

Ningbo Mansion is getting closer and closer.

Getting off the boat, walking into the familiar street, and seeing the old locust tree that had not changed for several years, he saw a back, a very familiar back.

There is also a woman in the family, who is similar to Yongying and is more talkative than Yongying.

Ji Hong was actually a little afraid of his sister-in-law.

There are many reasons for this.

Lu Ying is stronger than his sister, and she is also more scheming than her sister. Yongying may not have imagined that her sister has a deep sisterhood with her, but every time she comes to Ningbo Mansion, it is not just for the sake of sisters.

Before Zhang Mingzhen's mutiny in Nanjing, Ji Hong still had some contacts with Zong Mao. After that, the two never crossed paths again. After Zong Mao's comeback, he always wanted to repair the relationship between the two.

Ji Hong's position is too important, so important that everyone thinks of him and has no bottom in their hearts.

It's not that they want to oppose King Jin, but very few people will not make mistakes, Ji Hong will not pass on all the information to King Jin, he only reports the most important information and the information that King Jin needs.

Well, there are plenty of opportunities to choose from.
