There are four water gates in Yangzhou City, namely the South Water Pass of the Old City, the North Water Pass of the Old City, the South Water Pass of the New Town, and the North Water Pass of the New Town.

Now, Zhou Yuji had to come to one of the water gates.

Zhou Yuji's wife Liu came, as a super lady, Liu stood on the bow of the boat wearing a leather armor, not only came, she also brought her own women's army, these people are brave and good at shooting, in fact, it is commonly known as a fierce woman.

In fact, not only these people and boats, but also many boats in the back, drained far in the canal, were full of soldiers with weapons in their hands.

For Mrs. Zhou's style, Zhou Yuji is accustomed to it, and Mrs. Liu is actually a Mongolian, and she is born with that kind of heroism. The surname Mrs. Liu was given by the emperor, and although several generations have passed, the Liu family has always been proud of it.

Looking at the vigorous and familiar figure who jumped off the boat, Zhou Yuji began to smile.

Mrs. Liu looked at her husband, also smiled, took a few steps forward, but said first with some surprise: "There are distinguished guests in the back!" ”

Zhou Yuji was a little stunned, distinguished guest, what kind of person can be called a distinguished guest in front of him? It won't be his mother, because there is no need for this, and at such a moment, Liu, who is very knowledgeable, will not let his mother come to Yangzhou.

Looking at her husband with a puzzled face, Liu Shi leaned closer: "It's Hui'er." ”

It turned out to be Zhou Huchen's fiancée, his distant niece, Zhou Yuji's head was big for a while, this daughter-in-law who didn't pass through the door was really a distinguished guest!

is not only a distinguished guest, but also the young master wife of these soldiers, it is not surprising that there is such a powerful battle.

But when was this? Ran to Yangzhou, and this hasn't passed the door yet, in what capacity is it received?

Liu's face was full of helplessness, and she couldn't help it.

Just yesterday, Ma Ping'an took his sister, two maids and a few servants to Zhenjiang. Nominally, to visit the old lady. However, Ma Ping'an stayed in Zhenjiang, and Ma Hui said that he would come to Yangzhou anyway. The old lady didn't know how she was fooled by this future granddaughter-in-law, but she agreed.

Liu couldn't go against the old lady's wishes, and after the painstaking persuasion failed, she could only bring a large number of people to Yangzhou with her future daughter-in-law.

This lady was so rough, she meant; Can you stop it? Or can I hold it?

Hearing the explanation, Zhou Yuji was helpless, but he was obviously more proficient in world affairs than his wife, and Zhou Yuji immediately reacted: "It's my niece who is here, so hurry into the city." ”

The daughter-in-law who has not passed the door is not in accordance with the rules when she runs around. But the identity of having a niece is completely different, Zhou Yuji is not slow to react, and it can be regarded as solving this nominal embarrassment.

Zhou Yuji spoke, and everyone hurriedly arranged for the ship to enter the city, but the future master of the First Army was obviously a little unexpected, she actually appeared at the bow of the ship at this time. In front of everyone's eyes, the future master of the First Army appeared in the bow of the ship very generously.

It's so beautiful!

The hair is tied into a weeping bun, and a hairpin like a snow jade hairpin is inserted obliquely. He also wore a moon ornament. Clear eyes, cherry lips like flowers, skin like condensation, eyebrows like ink drawing. The upper body is an emerald green knee-length armor. Inside is an emerald green pleated skirt, although it is not powdered, it is so pure and beautiful.

The fairy-like beautiful girl stood at the bow of the boat in such a beautiful way. Then, the girl smiled.

A smile can be described as such!

Beautiful but not enchanting. The girl melted everyone in this way, and there was silence near the entire water gate.

"Niece to see uncle!"

A blessing for the girl Yingying brought everyone back to the world.

This is the first time Zhou Yuji has seen this niece, and he has to marvel at the beauty of this niece, his son really has a vision!

It's deliberate!

"Excuse me! Let's go into town! Zhou Yuji didn't know what to say, so he could only go into the city to talk about it.

"My father said that my niece must come to Yangzhou so that my uncle and cousin can fight with peace of mind."

Zhou Yuji understood, this was Ma Guoji's idea, he let his daughter calm the army's heart, and this niece came to Yangzhou to show up to arrange haode, which was made for the soldiers of the entire Yangzhou, in order to improve the morale of the army. As for the effect, Zhou Yuji doesn't know.

Ma Hui's arrival became a topic of conversation in Yangzhou, and the arrival of Zhou Huchen's beautiful fiancée undoubtedly alleviated the tension in Yangzhou.

The Yangtze River is still very busy, countless refugees from the south have gathered on the riverside, Shen Tingyang and Shi Bin's transport ships have been busy, their dutifulness has infected the people of Yangzhou, many private transport ships have participated, and soon, many private ships from Jiangdu, Zhenjiang, and Guazhou have also participated.

No one knows how many people have crossed the river, it seems that there are no less than hundreds of thousands of refugees, it is not difficult to transport, but it is difficult for these people to make a living, how they can live without starving.

The imperial court has no time to take care of it, but Zhou Yuji can't help it, so many people need a lot of food, Yangzhou and Zhenjiang have a lot of grain, but Yangzhou is about to face a threat, these stocks of grain belong to the military grain, and Zhou Yuji can't be used to help the victims.

When Zhou Yuji was worried, the arrival of a person solved this problem.

There is a supervisor in Jiangbei, and the position of this official position is not necessarily very high, but it is very powerful, and it belongs to a very fat shortage. Therefore, this supervisor is generally held by someone who is more trusted by the imperial court. Who was most trusted by the emperor? It is a eunuch, because eunuchs belong to people without roots, and people without roots naturally have no queens, so these eunuchs without queens can only rely on their own service objects, and it is natural that the service objects trust them.

Gao Qiqian is the old man of Lao Fuwang's hidden mansion, which means that he once served the father of the current emperor Zhu Youxiang. Gao Qiqian had served as a supervisor in the Chongzhen Dynasty many times, and was very trusted by Emperor Chongzhen, but his military talent was really not flattering, and there was no need to elaborate on all kinds of fear of the enemy and escape.

Of course, the new emperor had to use someone he trusted, and this Gao Qiqian who fled to Nanjing became the Jiangbei prison officer.

Chuzhou is the gateway to Nanjing, close to the Yangtze River, and Gao Qiqian is in Chuzhou to supervise the salary. Zuo Liangyu in the south went north, and Jiannu in the north went south, these two news made Gao Qiqian panic, this big eunuch who was good at seeing the opportunity to escape could not be said to be unpleasant, as soon as the news arrived, Gao Qiqian began to flee along the river with some people.

Gao's goal was to escape to Suzhou in the east and the coastal areas of Zhejiang, and he did not dare to go to Nanjing, for fear of being beheaded.

Okay, Gao Qiqian ran to the Zhenjiang area and met Zhou Huchen's river defense team, these water men who are not afraid of the ground have just received Zhou Huchen's martial law order on the river, and they immediately controlled Gao Qiqian.

Gao Qiqian, the overseer, didn't bring many people or food, but he brought a lot of silver. Zhou Yuji is not a domineering person, and he has always been quite disciplined, but he will not be polite to Gao Qiqian, because he has a deep hatred for Gao Qiqian.

This kind of hatred is because Gao Qiqian indirectly killed Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Xuanda, whom Zhou Yuji has always respected, and in the political struggle of the past years, because of the issue of peace and the main war, Lu Xiangsheng, the main war faction, became a victim of grief. Zhou Yuji once served under Lu Xiangsheng for a short time, and it was in this very short period of time that Lu Xiangsheng let Zhou Yuji know how to be the soul of his soldiers.

Zhou Yuji's combat style comes from Lu Xiangsheng, he is never afraid to fight against any enemy, and that unyielding heart comes from Lu Xiangsheng. Lu Xiangsheng's death has always haunted Zhou Yuji, and because of this, Yang Sichang and Gao Qiqian have been suppressing Zhou Yuji, until Yang Sichang stepped down, Zhou Yuji had the opportunity to become a province of feud.

The silver brought by Gao Qiqian naturally belonged to Zhou Yuji, and it happened to be used by Zhou Yuji to relieve the victims. Zhou Yuji is far less domineering than his son Zhou Huchen, he just took care of Gao Qiqian.

Zhou Huchen's martial law on the river was simple; You are only allowed to come and go.

The meaning of this martial law is that anyone can be allowed to run across the river, but if they want to run from Jiangnan to Jiangbei, unless it is a normal military movement of the state, no one is allowed to cross the river and go north except for officers and soldiers and officials with court documents.

The consequences for violators are serious; Kill them outright, or be imprisoned. (To be continued......)
