These thousand households are not stupid.

He sensed a strange atmosphere.

The disharmony between civil and military affairs is the most miserable for the people below.

It is inevitable that there will be various contradictions between the governors, governors, and commanders-in-chief of the military in various places.

Of course, often many times, it is the governor and the governor who make trouble with the chief military officer, who made you a martial artist?

And the people below are not stupid, of course, they do not hesitate to stand by the side of the governor and governor, because they are civil ministers, they have connections, and there are people in the court who can help them speak, which can be said to be up to heaven and control, and they control the life and death of the warriors.

You must know that in the history of the Ming Dynasty, there was a precedent for Wenchen to directly behead the chief military officer.

But these thousands of households soon noticed that Zuo Dudu's words seemed to indicate something, and they always felt that the mountain rain was coming!

According to his many years of experience in fishing, once the storm is coming, there is no room for turnaround, and if you want to fish in troubled waters, or please both ends, this is just looking for death.

Although the chief officer was only a subordinate in front of the superintendent, he still stood on the side of the chief officer without hesitation.

In fact, there is not much analysis, just go by feeling.

The words of these thousand households seemed to make Zhang Jingyi quite satisfied, he glanced at these thousand households, his expression seemed to be much more easy-going, and he smiled: "What is your name?" ”

Qianhu hurriedly said respectfully: "Humble Chen Ke." ”

Zhang Jing bowed his head: "Chen Ke, you are the guide, enter the city in the starry night." ”

Where did Chen Ke dare to slack off, so he hurriedly said: "Yes." ”

The mighty people immediately set off, and Chen Ke found a lot of military horses and led a group of cavalry to go first.

Zhang Jingyi looked at Chen Ke's back, thoughtfully.

In fact, as soon as Zhang Jing landed here, there were already hundreds of local households in the local area, and they received the flying pigeon summons, and they were secretly waiting here.

These hundred households are not inconspicuous at all, and they are not wearing fish clothes, but they are wearing cloth clothes, and his appearance is also ordinary, and he is stuck in the crowd, which can be described as inconspicuous at all.

As soon as he saw the arrival of the giant ship, he waited quietly on the shore, and did not go to see Zhang Jingyi immediately, but went to see Liu Wenxiu first, and then Liu Wenxiu led him to Zhang Jingyi.

Seeing that Zhang Jing must have watched Chen Ke leave, the hundred households bowed down and said, "I've seen the governor." ”

Zhang Jingyi glanced at him at this time, and smiled: "Chen Ke, how is it?" ”

These hundred households glanced at Chen Ke's back, and said very directly: "He is an honest man, he will do whatever he asks him to do on weekdays, in Xijindu, he is still popular, and he does not do anything to plunder the people on weekdays, but if someone gives him a gift, he is also happy to accept it." It's just that because of mediocrity, no one on the Zhenjiang side pays attention to him, and the people on the Zhenjiang side are not deeply entangled. By the way, his father, who fought against General Qi at the beginning, was hereditary because of his military exploits, so he served in the army for generations. ”

Zhang Jing nodded, as if with emotion: "The most people in the world are such people, there are no too bad thoughts, but they are definitely not called good people, people can live like this, although they are mediocre, but they can also be called beautiful things." ”

After that, Zhang Jingyi sighed, in fact, why didn't he want to lie down? It was found that ......

Now that he has carried too many people's expectations and net worth, he wants to lie flat but can't get it, but he is a little envious of people like Chen Ke.

Immediately, Zhang Jingyi put away the melancholy in his heart, and smiled again: "The details have been figured out, right?" ”

"The situation on Zhenjiang's side has already been figured out, and the superintendent's side has also been watched at any time, who is his confidant and who is estranged from him, and there are also counts, in addition to that...... His hometown has also been flying, and his comrades over there have arranged manpower, just to prevent the grass from startling the snake, and he doesn't dare to be too blatant. ”

With that, he pulled out a book from his bosom.

Zhang Jingyi waved his hand and said: "I won't look at it, you can take it, enter the city, and listen to my orders." ”

Zhang Jing immediately turned his gaze and said to Liu Wenxiu: "You also ride a horse to take the first step, be fast, and secretly control the situation." ”

Liu Wenxiu clenched his fists: "Obey the orders of the teacher." ”

…………

At this time, the moon was high, the sky was full of stars, and the night was a little cold, and House was invited to go and walk.

It's still the same as before, it's all in the airtight carriage, quietly going to the backyard where it is.

These days, he stayed in Zhenjiang and haunted every day, in fact, he was not wandering around all day as Wang Wenjun said, but observing the situation of the entire Ming Dynasty through Zhenjiang.

And in House's heart, he was still shocked by this place.

You know, in fact, as early as a few decades ago, there were missionaries who arrived in the interior of the Ming Dynasty and recorded the situation in the Ming Dynasty.

At first, House did not believe that this Eastern dynasty was as the missionaries had written.

But now that he saw it with his own eyes, he finally believed it.

As the missionary recorded: "Both men and women in this country are of good constitution, well-proportioned and pretty, slightly taller; Most of them have broad faces, small eyes, flat noses, and sparse beards, but there are also people with big eyes and beards, and their faces are very even. ”

"They are extremely clean, not only in their houses, but also on the streets. They usually had three or four necessary or public resting places in the streets, well arranged, so that those who were busy with official business did not stain the streets, and received supplies from there, and a similar method was used to pass all the roads of the country. Some cities have navigable streets, like Venice in Italy. ”

"The roads of the country are the best and best known to be built, they are very flat, even on the hills, and are made by labor and hoes, and are maintained with bricks and stones. …… There are many bridges, peculiar in their construction, especially on the wide and deep river. In the city of Fuzhou, directly opposite the mansion of the King's Great Tax Collector, there was a tower, which, according to those who saw it, surpassed any building in Rome, and which he erected on 40 columns, each of which was a stone, large and high. ”

These records were also seen by House's own eyes, and his heart was shocked.

Compared with Europe in this era, the Ming Dynasty, especially Jingshi and Jiangnan, is almost a paradise on earth, there is no filth, people love cleanliness, generally wealthy, people are polite, building facilities, especially the people's livelihood construction projects are very large.

Even a humble town with a population and a thriving economy with a wide variety of shops surpasses almost all cities in Europe.

House couldn't imagine what it would be like if he went to the capital or Nanjing, or whatever.

Of course, he was keenly aware that it was precisely because of this relatively comfortable environment, coupled with the long period of peace, that although the Eastern Dynasty had a complete military structure, it was actually ...... But they are very civil, martial, and they are not good at dealing with enemies from the sea.

Although House enjoyed the comfortable living conditions here, at this time, his heart was not necessarily admiration, but a kind of jealousy, and even a kind of ambition.

He thought that he had come to the right place, that there was indeed untold wealth here, and that if he could negotiate peace this time, and get a large amount of compensation, and a large number of trade ports, and in terms of navy, ensure that he could be overwhelming over the Eastern Dynasty, then this rich land would become a lamb to the slaughter, and they could take what they wanted.

With this thought, House's surface was silent, and he was even a little impatient.

This time I saw Wang Wenjun again, and this Wang Wenjun and he exchanged salutes.

House even learned from Da Ming's appearance and hugged his fist.

However, this is just a gesture, Haus is a European, Europe has been through hundreds of years of melee, the war has never ended, for those who live in war every day, never believe in the so-called this, the so-called etiquette, is just a means to seek profit.

House was the first to get straight to the point, and said through the general matter: "Half a month has passed since the peace treaty, isn't there no result?" If this continues, I will have to leave, and I cannot delay. ”

Wang Wenjun hurriedly said: "There will be eyebrows soon, and it is not surprising that within ten days, there will be results." ”

When these words came out, House's heart was already ecstatic, but he still had a seemingly reluctant look on his face, and said impatiently: "Ten more days to wait?" My time is limited and we have made the greatest concessions if there is no more result......"

Wang Wenjun took a deep breath, still with a pleasant face: "The old man is a supervisor, and he will never deceive you, there are many good things, but ...... If you really have eyebrows, I'm afraid that Your Excellency will go to the capital. After arriving in the capital, I met my emperor and knew what to say? ”

House said, "Of course I know. ”

Wang Wenjun seemed to think that this person didn't understand, so he said patiently: "The attitude must be humble, and the speech must show sincerity and fear, Your Majesty and the court want a step, if the steps are enough, then naturally everything will be convenient." But if people can't get off the stage, then the old man can't do anything. ”

House wanted to laugh in his heart, but the minister in front of him, who was extremely high, was now conspiring with him, planning how to deceive his own emperor!

House said, "What else should I pay attention to?" ”

Wang Wenjun pondered for a moment and said: "You must be humble when you go to the capital, but you can't blindly do this, but you need to show your skills, and let Your Majesty know how strong you are...... occupies the position of the Yellow River and intends to dig up the river...... Then it's even more effective with half the effort. ”

House listened carefully, wrote down everything in his heart, and said sincerely: "Your proposal is very helpful to me. ”

Wang Wenjun said lightly: "The old man is doing this, naturally not for you, nor for the sake of turning hostility into friendship, the two countries will suspend their troops and make peace with each other." ”
