Chapter 454: The Mighty Southern Expedition

Lu Lanzhen saw that her lover's ambition had been decided, so she knew that she couldn't be comforted, and she suddenly said: "Honglang, you remember, if you have three longs and two shorts, I will never be the only child." If you cherish me in your heart, don't do that risky thing. If the war breaks out, you will flee back quickly, the imperial uncle is angry, and my father will bear it for you, not to mention that there are Yuanfu and Xiaoge Lao, it is expected that the left and right will be just a dismissal. I am not greedy for your official position, or you have become a white man, and I am willing to marry you. ”

Yan Hong just smiled and said, "You can rest assured that you are waiting for my good news, when I come back this time, I will hurry up and get our affairs done." ”

Lu Lanzhen said: "Since Honglang has made up his mind, then I will also give you something to defend yourself." After that, he got up, took out a package, and handed it to Yan Hongdao: "This is a special treasure armor given to my father by the emperor's uncle, even the treasure blade of the world, and it is difficult to pierce it easily...... It's as if the little sister is by your side. Speaking of this, I couldn't help blushing again.

When Yan Hong took this treasure armor and looked at it, it was made of metal sheets and silk threads that he didn't know what to do, and the weight was not light, poking with his fingers, it was very tough, and it was much stronger than the rhinoceros leather armor that his grandfather gave him when Qingyun Ban assassinated Yan Mansion. He didn't say anything polite to Lu Lanzhen, thanked him, and accepted the armor.

The two were intimate again, Lu Lanzhen was like falling apart, snuggled in Yan Hong's arms and said, "When you return to Beijing, marry me." Sister Hu's side, no matter how much money she wants, just give it to her. ”

Yan Hong pretended to be sad and said: "Hey, Xian Mei, if I become a couple with you, it will naturally be a beautiful thing like a fairy." I just think of my ex-wife's late mother, how miserable. After all, I can't bear it. He knew that he was not yet a childish girl like Lu Lanzhen. The more nostalgic you pretend. On the contrary, the more it can arouse good feelings. He and Lu Lanzhen originally coped with an upright marriage, and they used this trick to cover up their inconsiderateness. Lu Lanzhen had to persuade again.

In a few days, everything has been arranged. His Majesty Yan Hong resigned from the Son of Heaven and left the Beijing Division. Yan Shifan specially instructed again: the power is in hand, everything is as you like, the holy will is in line with the will, and the public opinion is suppressed. The implication. You are now a prince, and you should press and scare Wang Fang. If that guy dares not to comply, as long as he writes a letter, it is not difficult for the government and his family to exert their efforts, and it is not difficult to find a way to cut off this governor Wang.

Yan Hong wrote down a little bit, packed his bags, and then went straight to Jiangnan in early February. The itinerary is to take the waterway from Beijing to Hangzhou, and then go down to Fujian from Hangzhou, and change the warship of the water division. Then to Guangzhou. It's a boat trip all the way. Companions, except for the deputy Shi Jinxiao. It is Wang Ting and other four brocade clothes and hundreds of households, as well as forty brocade captains to protect them. The Yellow River Shuangxia already had the identity of brocade clothes at this time, and they also took it with him. As for Liang Rufei, the newlywed Yan'er, Yan Hong couldn't bear to tell him to say goodbye to his husband and wife. And more importantly, this time when they went south to the trench realm, everyone in the Yan Mansion felt that the problem was not too big, so they couldn't mobilize the first master of the Yan Mansion, so it was better to stay in the mansion to protect the old lady and the master. Therefore, the family members who carry him are still Yan Feng, Yan Fu, and Bao Chan's hardcore Xi Tong.

Now that Yan Hong is Lu Bing's son-in-law, he has greatly offended the White Lotus Sect, and in order to prevent retaliation, the security is stronger than before. Ten of the forty Jinyi attachés were born in Feihu Mountain and were later recruited into Jinyi, and the other thirty were also members of the team who participated in the Battle of Jinan, and they were loyal. Not only is his martial arts strong, but each person was also issued with a bird gun, and according to Ye Zhengfei's suggestion, the ammunition was ordered in advance. It's just that the equipment for the charge has been changed from a bamboo tube to a paper shell. Thinking about it, even if there is a White Lotus Demon who intends to assassinate, with these forty fast guns, it is Da Luo Jin Immortal, and there is no life.

This accompanying deputy envoy Shi Jin filial piety word Qida, this year forty three, is Jiajing Jiachen year (Jiajing twenty-three years, 1544) three top with the Jinshi origin, awarded the pedestrian division of the pedestrian. Originally, the position of a pedestrian was not allowed to be a jinshi, and it belonged to a noble place. Dafan Dynasty Jinshi, the pride of the sky, most of them are just transitioning in this position, and then they should go to other posts to report. Shi Jinxiao District is the same as Jinshi, and it is a great honor to be able to become a pedestrian.

But this Lord Shi was born in poverty, and he was a veritable noble son from a poor family. There is no room in the family, there is no ridge in the land, and later the hometown is water, and there is no family property, all the relatives are gone, and the parents and sisters are all gone. He studied hard, and although his livelihood improved greatly after he became a scholar, he still couldn't call it rich. The Beijing official has little oil and water, not to mention the first-class poor yamen like the pedestrian division, and there is no benefit to be made, so the poor jingle rings and does not have much money left to go up and down. In this way, the position that was supposed to be a temporary springboard has been hanging up.

And this Shi brother is so good that he will not die, and he worshiped under Xia Yan's door again and handed over the protégé's post. He became a pedestrian as a fellow jinshi, which was recommended by Xia Shoufu, and naturally had a good relationship with Xia Yan. But Xia Yan is honest and honest, and he will not let his disciples do evil for the sake of the friendship between teachers and students. Shi Jin worshipped Xia Yan as a teacher, except for this pedestrian position, he didn't get any benefits, and he didn't expect that it would not be long before the situation changed abruptly, Xia Yan was completely defeated by the Yan family, and Xia Ge Lao also moved his head. This stone envoy who handed over the protégé's post was stealing chickens and rice, and he didn't get the benefits, but became the enemy party of the new cabinet elder Yan Song.

Partial Shi Jinxiao belongs to the top three ci with the Jinshi background. At that time, there were bitter literati who made couplets with added words: such as Mrs. and Tongjinshi; For example, the wife washes her feet and is born with a jinshi; Wash the feet of Mrs. Ru and give him the same Jinshi background. This has the same word as Jinshi, and it is far less popular than Jinshi. Yan Dang naturally avoided him and didn't retaliate. And Xu Jie and others can't take care of their fellow Jinshi backgrounds, how can they take care of such a lady to wash their feet, ah no, it's a gift to the same Jinshi background.

In such a mode where grandma is not close and uncle is not loved, this Shi Daren has worked to this day in the position of pedestrian department with great development prospects. Speaking of this envoy to the trench realm, he also worked hard and walked countless ways to barely win it.

In terms of other attachés, as usual, there are the second stewards or nephews of the princes, marquis, and uncles. These people are well-informed, and when they heard that there was talk of opening the port, they knew that if this matter was successful, it would be a rolling source of money, how could they dare to relax? A group of cronies and descendants were sent into the Qincha team, in order to seize the benefits as soon as possible. The honors and nobles also took advantage of the last time to borrow the official title card to get a little relationship with Sun Yuerong, send out their daughters, and make friends with Sun Yuerong, Yan Hong wants to come, this female man is estimated to not be bored during this time. It's just a pity that Hu Wanniang was left out in the cold, she witnessed this situation, and she was even more sad and sad, and washed her face with tears.

Originally, one large boat was enough for this person, but in fact, it was enough to use three boats. This is not to say that the staff is overstaffed, or that Yan Hong deliberately shakes his prestige and supports pomp. There was too much cargo to be shipped onto the ship. Originally, this official ship went out to pull some private goods to do private affairs, and seek some personal small money, which is the proper meaning of the question. Yan Hong himself didn't bring a lot of things, and Yan Shifan even bought a lot of goods to take the opportunity to make a fortune. Even Yan Hu, who had always been wrong with him, pulled down his face, carried some goods, and made a small fortune.

The meat and soup are also fat, and it is not surprising that the entourage will definitely take the opportunity to do some small business. But I didn't expect those noble families to be so crazy, these three big ships are full, how much did my mother bring, the quantity is a hundred and ten times more than her own goods, and the appearance is unsightly.

Seeing Yan Hong frowning, Xu Lu, the second head of the Dingguo family, stepped forward and saluted: "Little Xianggong, this time there are many of us and the ship is big." There are so many places on the ship, and they are empty, and we also want to make a small fortune. Please be old and hold your hands high. As he spoke, he handed over an envelope.

Yan Hong pushed: "This can't be helped, what kind of friendship do I have with my little grandfather?" If you do this, it will inevitably show that I am not a friend enough. ”

At this time, a nephew from the Chengguo family stepped forward and said, "Brother Chunchen, you can't say that. Friendship is friendship, business is business, and our friendship with each other naturally has nothing to say, but if you make your brother suffer a loss because of this, it will be a big lack of friends. Take it, take it, we all have a heart, if you don't accept it, it will make it difficult for us. This is still a rental fee, and there is an escort fee for the Jinyi brothers, and I will send it to you when I go back. ”

Yan Hong had no choice but to accept the gift money and go back to the cabin. These nobles also saw the opportunity to negotiate with Foyi this time, and made a heavy bet. There are many items such as tea, silk, porcelain, medicinal herbs, Western sugar (called Chinese sugar by foreigners), and even wood. That's not all, there are others, just things that don't see the light very much. According to Wang Ting's secret investigation, there are several items in this cargo that have been stolen in the palace in recent years, so it can be inferred that this is probably also involving the lieutenants in the palace. Those people stole things and did not dare to sell them at will, for fear of accidents. This time, since it was a foreigner who made a transaction, and the goods were sold overseas, there was naturally no trace, so these forbidden items were also brought to the ship.

The so-called upward and downward effect, since those heads of the family are like this, the people below, and even the people in each room, who doesn't want to make benefits from it? The eunuch can sell the things in the palace, and the family members of the Xungui family can naturally sell the things they usually come out of the lord's house. There are also houses that hope to take this opportunity to make a sum, and they have taken out the private money of each house to purchase goods, which is naturally to load three full ships.

Yan Hong accepted the money and didn't say more, but just sent Wang Ting and the others to investigate, and when the ship set sail, he had already heard and understood. This time, the draft line of the three big boats has reached the end, and if they catch up with the dry water area, I am afraid that there will be trouble. Therefore, he hurriedly ordered Jinyiwei to stop the dock and not allow the goods to be loaded again, whoever loads the goods, don't blame Yan Qincha for throwing all the goods that have been loaded into the water before.

It was easy to wait for the auspicious time, Ye Zhengfei gave an order, forty brocade guards and birds chirped in unison, and the three big ships raised their sails and untied the cables, trembling with a full warehouse of goods, leaving the dock and cleaving along the canal. (To be continued......)
