The night is like ink.

A hidden courtyard somewhere in Tianfu.

The candlelight flickered, and it was extremely dim, and some people with their faces hidden in the darkness sat together.

"The soldiers of the two rivers are all red scarves, how can there be a peach source to avoid Qin? Immediately short-clothed and multi-chuke, the city is high-haired and half-Huai people......"

Someone sighed.

"Now that Huai people occupy a high position, it will be difficult for us to reuse it after all......"

The other person also said indignantly: "And we are waiting to be an official, if there is a slight difference in the pool, it is the head of the clan, and the whip is humiliated, and the slightest difference in the Tuntian labor is a big crime, who dares to be an official!?" ”

"Those Huaixi martial artists, even if they are wrong, but they whip and cut the lord, and the superior is too conniving with the martial artists!"

"Shh

Someone next to him motioned for him to whisper.

"This is also impossible, many civil officials in the former Yuan are reluctant to come out, the old officials are exploited, the officials recommended from all over the country, the rich and luxurious, the tax talents, those who can be officials and officials, the upper positions are all trying to pull them to be officials, just say that this tax household talents, if you pay more taxes, you can be an official, don't you know that the upper position will be chaotic?"

"No one is available......

Another voice was hoarse and old, and said angrily: "This newly opened Taixue, there is no sacrificial wine, a doctor of the industry, a teaching assistant, and a supervisor, and there are no surprising principals, professors, and directors, and simplified words, which is really crooked!" ”

"I'll wait, we have to find a way out for each other."

The candlelight flickered, and these officials of the Ming Dynasty began to plot in a whisper......

Inside the East Palace.

Zhu Biao is rarely free, and he sits with Zhu Xiongying, Zhu Yunwen, and Zhu Yunxi to play.

There is also Zhu Xiongying's sister Princess Jiangdu, and her younger sister Lord Yilun.

The family is happy.

With a smile on his face, Zhu Biao pulled Zhu Xiongying aside, looked at his step-concubine Lu who was playing with his children, and whispered: "Xiongying, you don't respect Confucianism, the ministers in the court have a lot of opinions, and even your stepmother is not very happy." ”

Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Yunwen again.

"There are a few Confucian ministers in the court, who like Yun Wei very much, some recommend themselves as pen washers, and some invite them to accompany readers......"

Zhu Xiongying smiled and said: "This matter is very good, my father might as well push the boat down the river, as for Yun Wei, do you say that he believes in me more, or listens to his mother more?" ”

Zhu Biao narrowed his eyes.

He put his hands behind his back, his face was calm, and he gently flicked the sleeves of his robe: "If he is a few years older, he will listen to his mother, but he is still young, and he admires your eldest brother a lot, I am afraid that he will be calculated by your eldest brother." ”

"Dad, I'm not calculating!"

Zhu Xiongying pursed her lips and whispered: "I'm also doing this for Yun Wei's good, he can't be a big man with this temperament, as for his stepmother, hey, you also know that she can't decide many things, I think the old people of the Lu family who she brought into the palace are all moths......"

Zhu Biao closed his eyes, opened them again, and felt a little unbearable: "For mothers, after all, they are towards their own parents, this is human nature, and my father will give you an explanation......"

……

Daming, Guangzhou.

The sea trade here is prosperous, in the Yuan Dynasty, and Quanzhou was bright for a while.

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Shao Zongyu, a native of Nanhai, Foshan, rebelled first, and led nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses to attack the Marshal Mansion of Guangdong Province in the Great Yuan Dynasty.

However, after he captured Guangzhou, he did not think about rectifying the civil affairs of Guangzhou, but instead plundered the army.

Even to a certain extent, it was more ...... than the Mongol soldiers of the Yuan Dynasty

As a result, Dongguan Bo He Zhen led another angry Liangguang Township volunteer army to expel Shao Zongyu.

But the prosperous city of Guangzhou fell into decay, and even was not much better than the early years of the Yuan Dynasty......

In that year, the Yuan Dynasty attacked the Southern Song Dynasty, and the Liangguang region was the main battlefield, and Guangzhou, as one of the most prosperous seaports in the Southern Song Dynasty at that time, was very fierce resistance from the army and the people, resulting in the Mongols directly ordering the slaughter of the city after capturing the city of Guangzhou......

Later, the Yuan Dynasty built the city of Bo Division, because the city of Guangzhou was dilapidated and unusable, so it had to turn to set up the City Bo Division in Quanzhou, Fujian.

At this time, in charge of the war in Guangdong was Zhao Yong, the Marquis of Nanxiong, who was leading a team of soldiers and horses to meet the ship of Dongguan Bo He Zhen outside the city of Guangzhou.

The wind is fierce, and the battle flag is unfurled.

Zhao Yong sat on a tall horse, he was slender and strong, with broad shoulders and a thin waist, sword eyebrows and nose, and indifferent eyes.

As one of the members of the first generation of fierce generals in the Ming Dynasty, he is also familiar with the navy, and can fight both land battles and shallow seas.

As a result, when Daming and Chen Youliang were fighting, Zhao Yong and his brother Zhao Zhongzhong guarded Anqing and met Zhang Dingbian, the first fierce general at the end of the Yuan Dynasty......

This person can be called a mythical figure in the late Yuan Dynasty, attacking the city as if entering a no-man's land, and capturing Anqing under the rain of bullets and bullets, Zhao Zhongzhong was frightened, and fled back to Yingtian from Anqing in one go, and was directly beheaded by the angry Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhao Yong was punished, and he should have been beheaded.

Fortunately, Zhu Yuanzhang later met Zhang Dingbian in the water battle of Poyang Lake, and his boat was almost captured by Zhang Dingbian......

There's no way, Zhang Dingbian is really too fierce.

So, Zhu Yuanzhang named Zhao Yong as a servant, and promoted and reused, the south and the north for many years, in the Northern Expedition, is often an important general in the Northern Expedition, and his military achievements are impressive.

This man is known for his resourcefulness, military knowledge, and is good at protecting himself......

When he was often killed in the army during the Northern Expedition in the spring, Zhao Yong was startled and felt that it might be Zhu Yuanzhang's hand......

Because of the first generation of fierce generals of the Ming Dynasty, there were several fierce generals who were burly and rebellious, and they died violently.

If it's a coincidence, it's a coincidence.

So he was careful everywhere under Li Wenzhong, the new commander of the Northern Expeditionary Army, who succeeded Chang Yuchun, and later worked very hard when attacking Yingchang on the way to the Northern Expedition.

If it is appreciated in terms of merit, Zhao Yong must at least be crowned a national prince......

I also want to give Danshu iron coupons, and gold medals to avoid death......

This person is usually not greedy for money, nor is he greedy for good land, so Zhao Yong gritted his teeth and decided to defile himself, when the army lieutenant general and colonel did not accept his wife and concubine, and there were prostitutes in the army, he ordered his subordinates to report that he had privately hired slaves and maids in Yingchang, violated the laws of the Ming Dynasty, and pleaded with Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang saw that he was interested, so he did not confer the title of Duke of the country, but condemned him to the title of Marquis, Marquis of Nanxiong.

The inspector next to him came and said: "Master Hou, the Dongguan Bozuo ship will arrive in a moment." ”

Zhao Yong nodded slightly, he took a deep breath, and shook the convenient and close-fitting cotton armor on his body.

He was very powerful with this cotton armor, but it was hot in Guangzhou, and he was stuffy in his clothes, and his brows furrowed slightly.

Since he was named the Marquis of Nanxiong and came to the Liangguang region, there have been continuous rebellions here, and it has also seriously affected Jiangxi and Fujian, resulting in difficult tax collection, Zhao Yong is really bitter and can't say, at the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, these areas are because of the mountains and roads, and the clan fortresses are lined up to resist the Yuan army very fiercely, and it is the same now......

The big families who have lived here for a long time are either the Han people who traveled south in the Wei and Jin dynasties, or the Han people who moved from the Northern Song Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty.

Not only is it difficult to collect taxes and immigrate, but the resistance of the people is also very strong.

At the peak of the Yuan Dynasty's military power, it conquered a territory of 100,000 li, but it was unable to make the Tu clans here surrender at all.

Even now, when the Ming Dynasty shouted to expel the Tartars and restore the banner of China, they were still very wary.

Zhao Yong pacified chaos everywhere in Guangdong, and made many contributions, but he was annoyed by the inexhaustible killing of bandits......

"Lieutenant Zhao, do you know what He Zhen is doing here?"

Between Zhao Yong's words, dozens of Daming treasure banknotes in his hand were sent.

The Zhao Zhongguan he called was the current Bo Si of Quanzhou City, Daming, who specialized in dealing with the tributaries of Ryukyu, Annan, and other countries, and was the eunuch sent by Zhu Yuanzhang to give orders to the King of Zhongshan in the Ryukyu Kingdom, and he was also very trusted by Zhu Yuanzhang before.

His official surname is Zhao, and he and Zhao Yong are from his own family, so they have frequent intersections.

Seeing the silver money, Zhao Zhongguan pinched the Daming treasure banknote with a smile, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Nanxiong Hou, our family thinks that most of you are going to get out of trouble, you see who sent Dongguan Bolai?" ”

Zhao Yong looked carefully and found that the sea ship was actually flying the flag of the navigation marquis Zhang He.

He was just about to say something, but suddenly he saw something, and his eyes shrank......
