Xu Ying's restaurant has changed places, although the location is still not good, but it has become a two-story small building.

It was named Shunde Building.

The fame has gradually spread, and even vegetable farmers outside Jinxianmen have begun to grow chili peppers in large quantities. Just because the business of Shunde Building is good, other restaurants also use chili peppers, and the demand for chili peppers in Nanchang City has skyrocketed.

Upstairs, a group of scholars were gathering.

The restaurant opened by Xu Ying has become the base camp of the "Homecoming Association".

There are more and more members of the Returning to the Hometown Association, including the newly occupied Linjiang Prefecture scholars, and many have fled to Nanchang to live.

Before the dishes were ready, Xiao Puyun, the head of the meeting, said in a low voice: "Governor Li is afraid that he is leaving Jiangxi." ”

"After suffering a big defeat, I can't go if I don't leave, I'm afraid I will have to go back to Beijing to ask for the guilt!" A scholar named Chen Heming said.

Xu Ying said curiously: "Governor Li is gone, who will kill the rebels in Raozhou?" ”

Although the anti-thieves in Raozhou Mansion have a small territory and are not fierce, it is the territory of King Huai.

King Huai's name is Zhu Yiju, and he has the same name as King Jing more than 100 years ago, so it can only be said that he was too careless when choosing his name, and this kind of rare name can also crash.

Zhu Yiju is in his Chinese New Year's Eve, and he himself runs fast. But the princesses and concubines of the previous generation of King Huai, as well as his own princesses and concubines, including his eldest son, who was only four years old, were all captured by the peasant rebels.

As for the end, it can be imagined.

This matter is as tricky as the Luling Zhao thief, Li Maofang used all his strength to Raozhou to suppress the thief in order to atone for his crimes.

Xiao Puyun said with a smile: "The Raozhou thief is gone." ”

"From the dispatch of troops to suppress the thieves to now, it has only been more than a month, and the Raozhou thieves have been exterminated? It's too unbeaten. A scholar named Lu Yu couldn't help but sneer.

"You are the thief who is the Luling Zhao Yan?" The person who spoke was Zuo Xiaocheng, who fled to Nanchang.

Which pot is not opened and which pot is mentioned, as soon as this statement came out, everyone was silent.

The Luling Zhao thief is so hateful that he has already defeated two governors, and he doesn't know when he will be exterminated.

After a cold meal, Xu Ying hurriedly eased the atmosphere: "Eat vegetables, eat vegetables, try the boiled beef in our store." This beef is not easy to buy, I bought two catties yesterday. ”

"Yes, yes, eat vegetables!" Xiao Puyun also said.

The previous Chen Heming asked: "Since Governor Li has exterminated the thieves in Raozhou and is making atonement for his crimes, why do you still say that Governor Li is leaving?" ”

Xiao Puyun said with a smile: "Chen Yushi's impeachment chapter was delivered to the capital at the beginning of the year, and there was no war with Zhao Thief at that time. Chen Yushi impeached Governor Li, saying that he had looted the people's fat and ointment, and filled his own pockets in the name of military training. After Governor Li's defeat, Chen Yushi asked the reason and impeached Governor Li for plundering Linjiang Mansion, causing the people to hate the officers and soldiers and follow the thieves. Yesterday afternoon, there were pedestrians and horsemen who arrived in Nanchang by boat, most of them for the governor. ”

"Bang bang bang!"

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and Xu Ying went to open it herself.

A soldier came in panting, scooped a spoonful of soup to moisten his throat: "Something is wrong, Li Ruolian, the chief soldier of Jiangxi, was demoted and returned to Beijing." Wang Siren, the military commander of Jiangzhou, was demoted to the county governor of Qianjiang. ”

Everyone looked at each other, completely unaware of the situation.

Obviously, this battle was defeated, and the governor of Jiangxi should be responsible, why was it the chief soldier and the servant who were questioned?

Quite simply, Li Maofang activated the money ability.

The officials of the three divisions of Jiangxi all helped Li Maofang speak. Many ministers of the imperial court also helped Li Maofang speak.

Shoufu Wen Tiren, he is not greedy, and he does not accept bribes. But his henchmen and allies are greedy one by one, and Wen Tiren does not say a word about Jiangxi's affairs.

Although Wang Siren is a member of the Donglin Party, many of the Donglin Party in the court have received money and are unwilling to help Wang Siren speak.

The Donglin Party is mixed, and there are contradictions between each other, which can be differentiated with silver.

In this defeat, Wang Siren carried the cauldron, and the court determined that he fled in fear of the enemy, and the defeat of the navy army caused the collapse of the main force. Li Ruolian is incompetent in governing the army, and his subordinates burn, kill and loot the people, and Li Maofang puts all the things he does on Li Ruolian.

Of course, Li Maofang, as the chief official, will definitely not escape punishment.

The official was demoted by one level, reduced his salary by six stones, continued to patrol Jiangxi, and accused him of making meritorious contributions, which was the imperial court's treatment of Li Maofang.

"Poof!"

Xiao Puyun slapped the table and was furious: "Li Maofang is incompetent, if he continues to be the governor, when will the Zhao thief be exterminated?" ”

"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty will be deceived by traitors. Lu Yu slumped in his chair, as if he had been drained of his strength.

The scholars of the Homecoming Association are extremely dazed at the moment, and they don't know what is going on in this world.

They trusted Wang Siren the most, thinking that Li Maofang was a fool, but the court completely reversed.

In the end, the scholar who came to report the news said: "The imperial court still has a decree, Ji'an and Linjiang prefectures will raise people, but if the hometown is occupied by thieves, the Jiangxi political secretary must subsidize the travel expenses to go to Beijing for the examination." ”

Xiao Puyun was moved to tears: "Your Majesty is still thinking of our Jiangxi scholars, all of whom are traitors in the DPRK and China who have corrupted the situation. Two years later, I will definitely be able to inscribe the title of the gold list, and at that banquet, I will personally tell the truth to Your Majesty! ”

"Everything depends on Brother Xiao!" The crowd rose to their feet.

Among these members of the homecoming association, Xiao Puyun is one person.

Although Liu Tongsheng also fled to Nanchang, he stayed at home and studied hard, looking forward to the imperial examination wholeheartedly. This is also the idea of many people, the land is gone, and the Zhao thief is not easy to exterminate, so he will go all out to get the Jinshi, and maybe he can buy land in other places.

Xu Ying suddenly took out a copy of "Datong Collection": "As soon as I was a business friend, when I passed by Ji'an Mansion, I was forced to sell "Datong Collection" by Zhao thief. The words contained in this book are all rebellious, and you will circulate them here. ”

Everyone immediately surrounded, and finally finished reading it for a long time, and then they scolded.

Among them, "The Theory of the Mandate of Heaven" and "The Theory of the Family and the Country and the World" openly put forward the theory of rebellion, which is simply terrifying to death.

Xu Ying said: "The number of words in this book is not much, we can refute it one by one, and raise funds to print hundreds of copies of the content after the refutation, and distribute it to all students." Let the scholars of Nanchang Mansion see what kind of evil intentions the Zhao thief is! ”

Xiao Puyunhu said suspiciously: "No one will read this book and be a thief, right?" ”

"All the students of the government are reading sage books, how can they be bewitched by Zhao Thief," Xu Ying said, "What's more, we are not printing the original text." Instead, he learned from the strengths of others and refuted these words of calamity word by word. With our comments, how can readers still not understand the truth? ”

Xiao Puyun hesitated for a long time, and finally said, "Okay, just do it!" ”

In the evening, Xu Ying returned to her residence.

The little widow Liu has already prepared a meal and invited a maid.

When she heard the door open, she immediately walked out quickly to greet her, and said with a smile on her face: "Uncle is back, and the meal has been prepared." Is Uncle going to eat now, or is he going to rest for a while? ”

"Let's rest for a while, there is a sister-in-law Lao." Xu Ying was a little afraid to face Liu.

The two live under the same roof, and they are talented and beautiful, so it is inevitable that they will fall in love for a long time.

Especially Liu's recent enthusiasm made Xu Ying feel a little frightened, he was afraid that he would not be able to control it, the charm of the little widow was really terrible.

Xu Ying stayed in the study for a while, and Huang Daliang finally came back, came in and reported: "Young master, my uncle is doing business with the Li family in Nanchang and sent some guys to help. These guys are all working in Lee's firm. Uncle said that he would settle down in Nanjing, Zhenjiang, and Yangzhou first, and send four people each, a total of 12 people. The rest of the guys sent four to Jiujiang, and the rest stayed in Nanchang. ”

"I know, you go and make arrangements, I want to meet these guys." Xu Ying nodded.

"Knock knock!"

There was a knock on the door, and Liu shouted outside the door: "Uncle, the food is going to be cold." ”

"Just come." Xu Ying opened the door with a smile.

That night, Xu Ying began to refute "Datong Ji" sentence by sentence, deliberately chaotic logic, and it seemed to make some sense, anyway, it was all nonsense.

Xu Ying not only wants to spread the "Datong Collection" in Nanchang, but also asks those scholars who return to their hometowns to pay for printing.

A few days later, before the rebuttal was finished, Xu Ying had already received the exact news and sent a secret letter to Zhao Han: "Governor Li Maofang stayed in Jiangxi, Gansu General Yang Jiamo was transferred to Jiangxi General Army, and Dong Xiangheng, a member of the Ministry of Officials, was transferred to Jiangzhou Military Preparation. ”

These appointments show that although the princes of the court received Li Maofang's silver, they also attached great importance to Zhao Han.

Yang Jiamo is the chief soldier of Gansu, the governor of the Houjun Prefecture, and the hussar general, and has been fighting with Cao Wenzhao for a long time. Now, the war in the north is tight, and being able to transfer this kind of "fierce general" to Jiangxi can be regarded as giving Zhao Han enough face.

However, if you can mix with Cao Wenzhao, you must also be able to mix with Li Maofang, and the people of Jiangxi will definitely experience what it means to be "a soldier is like a grate".

Cao Wenzhao fought fiercely, but he killed the people fiercely enough, and there is a nursery rhyme that says: "Rather be robbed by thieves, than teach Cao Bing to block." The thieves robbed limitedly, and the Cao soldiers did endless harm. Thieves robbed the people's property, and Cao soldiers killed the people's lives. ”

As for Dong Xiangheng, who replaced Wang Siren, he was born in the Donglin Party and is also a fierce man.

When Dong Xiangheng patrolled Shandong, he dared to gallop into the anti-thief camp alone and ordered those anti-thieves to surrender quickly. Later, he served as a military garrison in Fujian and participated in the pacification of the civil unrest in southern Fujian, and he also performed very well.

By the way, Dong Xiangheng is Dong Qichang's clansman.

Zhao Han received the secret letter and immediately went to consult Li Banghua.

Li Banghua frowned and said: "Yang Jiamo is a person with corrupt military discipline, and he is used to killing good people and risking merit. His soldiers are indeed brave in battle, but they are easy to flee when they encounter setbacks. He was transferred to the Jiangxi General Army this time, and he will definitely bring his family with him, and he must guard against cavalry charging when fighting. You can order the armory, recruit carpenters, and build chariots to defend against cavalry. ”

Yang Jiamo's family, Yishui's Gansu cavalry. Although Jiangxi's water network is vertical and horizontal, and the cavalry cannot run long distances, it is also of great use at critical moments.

Because the people of Jiangxi had never seen the cavalry rushing into battle, they were suddenly subjected to that kind of terrifying scene, and they were likely to collapse because of fear.

Li Maofang and Wang Siren went to rescue Fengyang, but they were frightened by Zhang Xianzhong's cavalry, and the Jiangxi soldiers began to flee before they could meet the enemy.

Li Banghua said: "As for Dong Xiangheng, although I know him, I don't know what his ability is. ”

It means that there is a junior, and the time they have worked together is very short, and there is no in-depth contact.

Zhao Han immediately ordered someone to build a chariot, which was actually a rejecting horse that could be moved. However, the function is very diverse, it can carry food, grass and ordnance when marching, and it can be placed in front of the battle to resist the cavalry.

At the same time, the battle in Linjiang Mansion finally spread throughout Jiangxi, and the name of King Zhao could stop children from crying at night.

Leadshan County is in the easternmost part of Jiangxi, and now it has also received news, and Fei Yinghuan has gone home!
