At the moment, the discussion stopped, Han Meiting hurriedly went to mobilize the guards, and Zhang Juzheng took the attachés to prepare and set off immediately. This big sacrificial wine has been a jinshi in the twenty-sixth year of Jiajing, and has been a Qingliu official in the capital all the year round, this is the first time to encounter such a practice, and he was a little excited and nervous, and scolded Fang Yu there, urging the attachés to hurry up and prepare their bags, and asking He Bingzhong if the guards were ready, and then asking people to hurry up to see General Han's side, why the guards have not been transferred?

Yan Hong, after all, he has seen the world, and he can't help but be a little funny when he sees Mr. Zhang, a great reformer who has always behaved well, so excited. He went over to persuade Zhang Juzheng and said: "Mr. Zhang, Yangzhou is a long way to Nanjing. Why don't you wait for the news? ”

Zhang Juzheng shook his head and said, "Don't wait." If I am not at the scene, it will be difficult to explain to the heavenly family when I turn back. ”

By the time the chaos was ready to stop, it was already dawn on the second day of the seventh month. The attachés and soldiers were called up in the night to prepare, and now they yawned one by one. Zhang Juzheng was also busy all night, but he drank two cups of strong tea, was in good spirits, and ordered his subordinates to hold the royal flag and march with him. On this road, at the front was the 300 Beijing army led by the general He Bingzhong, and in the middle was Zhang Juzheng's Qincha team, including more than 70 attachés and officials below Jiang Zhou, and more than 40 followers, who were responsible for defending the 200 Jinyi led by Liu Lian, the deputy of the Jinyi Guard. Behind them were the 200 Beijing troops led by the guerrilla general Yu Huajiao, and more than 200 craftsmen and miscellaneous servants accompanying the Qincha team. The five hundred local guards mobilized by Han Meiting were led by Han Songnian, who followed at the rear. These guards were all negligent in battle. Although there is no shortage of strong young men who are tall and big. But one by one, the knives and guns were dragged to the end. At the beginning, he was full of energy, and he began to be listless after walking for a few miles. The soldiers in the Beijing camp behind were secretly muttering to themselves, these boys were more of a burden than guards. If we really want to fight, I'm afraid we have to prevent them from disrupting our team.

Yan Hong also didn't sleep all night. Seeing Zhang Juzheng's team out of the west gate of Yangzhou and wandering away, Yan Hong muttered: "Mr. Zhang is a scholar after all, and he has not experienced any major events. Is this a mutiny? It's not the Tartars who broke the city, and the White Lotus rebelled. If you wait for him to make trouble for two days, you won't be able to turn the world around. Besides, from Yangzhou to Nanjing, in terms of the virtue of these guards, I think it would be good to be able to go in three days. What's the difference between you waiting three days and waiting four? Forget it, Ben Qin sent the deputy envoy here, but he still has to marry a concubine. Seeing that I am calm and calm and rejoicing with the people, that is called the demeanor of the general. ”

He muttered. Go back to your room and rest. Zhang Qingyan then asked two questions. Yan Hong told her. I fell asleep with my head next to the pillow, and I don't know how long I slept, and I was suddenly woken up by Zhang Qingyan: "Xianggong, Xianggong, the little young master of the Mo family is here!" Yan Hong opened his eyes and saw that the sky was already bright, and he hurriedly turned over. Last night I was lying down in a kimono, but now it is convenient, so I got up and put on my outer robe, and went out into the courtyard. But I saw that Mo Xingzu jumping and running: "Brother-in-law! ”

Yan Hong frowned, what is this little fat man doing? He hurriedly said: "Xingzu, what's the matter?" How is your aunt? How is your sister? ”

Mo Xingzu said: "It's not good. Mother let me ask you, there are rumors all over the city this morning, what kind of mutiny happened in Nanjing, so can you still do it about marrying my sister? ”

Yan Hong turned his head to look at Zhang Qingyan, and said secretly in his heart, what is the name of this Nima, how can the news that was only sent at dusk yesterday spread all over the city. He said to Mo Xingzu: "Of course I have to do it, didn't I see my brother-in-law and I still stay here?" Go back and tell your mother, do it tonight! It's that Mr. Zhang has gone to Nanjing, and I have to find another elder to sit down. ”

It stands to reason that Yan Hong has a secret decree issued by Emperor Jiajing, and regards the military preparation of the southeast. In the matter of the Nanjing Mutiny, he was actually more justified than Zhang Juzheng. And the reason why he didn't want to rush over was that he didn't want to get involved in that pile of bad things like this, and second, since he promised Mo Qing'er to marry her on the second day of July, if there were twists and turns again because of this matter, he was afraid that the little girl would be too careful. Besides, if the Nanjing Mutiny is really going to break out, no one can guarantee whether Yangzhou will be too stable. Now Yangzhou City is his basic territory, and Uncle Yan is personally sitting here, so it is always safer. If he leaves, in case Yangzhou is in chaos, it will be bad for the Mo family's mother and daughter or Wang Cuiqiao to be implicated. So he made up his mind and left after the wedding.

When Mo Xingzu heard Yan Hong say this, he clapped his hands and said, "That's great." I'll just say, brother-in-law, you won't lose your trust. Okay, I'll go back and tell my mother, and I'll wait for you and my sister to drink the wedding wine tonight. ”

Yan Hong said to Mo Xingzu: "Xingzu, you go back and tell your mother and aunt, add more...... Well, let's just say that let's pay attention to the softness of the house, so as not to lose things when there are too many people at the wedding banquet. ”

Mo Xingzu promised and went back. Yan Hong sat in the courtyard, and Zhang Qingyan brought tea and came early to eat with him. Before he finished eating, another Jinyi guard came to report: "Qincha, the lady of the Wang family has come to ask to see." ”

This Jinyiwei originally followed Yan Hong to Shaoxing to save Xu Hai, and he was very familiar with Wang Cuiqiao, and he also knew that she and Yan Hong had done something unclean later, so when he told him, he had a smile on his face. Yan Hong hurriedly ordered to come in. After a moment, Wang Cui came suddenly, Zhang Qingyan smiled with a smile on his face, and stepped forward to greet him: "Sister Wang, hello." ”

Wang Cuiqiao nodded at Zhang Qingyan and said to Yan Hong: "Brother Hong, what's going on in Nanjing?" ”

Yan Hong said: "Sister Cuiqiao, I'm wondering." Yesterday evening, an urgent report from Nanjing came over, saying that the Zhenwu camp had made trouble early in the morning, but it was urgent news for 600 miles. But how could there be rumors in this city so early? It's okay, Qin Chazheng has already led the team over. If you want to come to this small mutiny, it is not a problem to suppress it. ”

Wang Cuiqiao said: "I'm afraid this matter is not that simple." I have been in Yangzhou for so fast a year, because of the sale of salt, my subordinates have also sent a lot of people to find out the news. I heard that this Nanjing Zhenwu Camp was originally set up to fight against the Japanese invaders, but many of them were local evil and scoundrels, among which the good and the bad were mixed. However, the guards in the provinces south of the Yangtze River were exploited by the officials, so that they had no food and clothing, but it was true. Now, if this Zhenwu army finds an excuse to incite the guards, just like the matter of our Jiangnan pirates, a few scheming villains coerce the desperate majority of the poor people to make trouble, and this matter will not be easy to settle. ”

Yan Hong said: "If that's the case, then you have to take it seriously." But in any case, we must first suppress the arrogance of the rebels before there is follow-up rectification. In this way, I will immediately send two Ti to ride Pegasus to catch up with Mr. Zhang's Qincha team and give his old man a reminder. According to his skills, it is not difficult to settle this matter. ”

Wang Cuiqiao nodded and said, "There is one more." Brother Hong, you marry a beautiful woman tonight, but aren't you afraid that someone will be unhappy? ”

Yan Hong smiled: "Sister Cuiqiao, what kind of person I am, you know it." The little girl of the Mo family has to marry me, I will give her a name, and you also have multiple sisters, which is a good thing. ”

Wang Cuiqiao took a sip: "What do you say to me?" Brother Hong, let me tell you, now that Nanjing is in trouble, I don't think Yangzhou is necessarily peaceful. My salt shop buddy, in the past two days at the dock, I often see some people who are alive, some of them are still carrying weapons, but the accent is also from the Jiangnan area. Combined with the Nanjing incident, I see, Brother Hong, you have to be careful, don't give you a happy and sad night when you marry a newcomer tonight. ”

When Yan Hong heard this, he blinked his eyes twice and sneered: "I see." It seems that the White Lotus Sect is not happy to find it in my Yan again. It's okay, then I'll make you unhappy. Today, Lao Tzu is doing a happy event, and everyone is happy. Yangzhou is Lao Tzu's territory, if you want to make Lao Tzu unhappy tonight, Lao Tzu will call you unhappy for the rest of your life! ”

After speaking, Yan Hong opened his throat and shouted: "Come on, go and invite Wang Ting, Shao An, Tao Zhi, Yun Chuqi, and Ye Zhengfei!" (To be continued......)
