Chapter 74: Southbound 1
Yang Xin also has no choice, he has no one available in his hands now, this Bai Youcai and Xu Shengneng can become the leaders of the three battalions of the new army and the hundred households, the ability is naturally there, and the prestige is acceptable, so they can only be reluctantly used.
Since arriving in Tianjin, I have been non-stop, and after the discussion, I can finally calm down and be alone with the princess.
After not seeing her for many days, I felt that the princess was becoming more and more delicate, and when I arrived at the princess's room, Yang Xin couldn't help but grab the princess's hand.
The two were silent for a long time, the atmosphere was ambiguous, the princess lowered her head and blushed, so she had to change the topic and said, "Brother Yang, can you think about how to go to Nanjing?" ”
Yang Xin came back to his senses and told the princess his thoughts, saying: "Now we don't know anything about the situation in the south, and the road to the south is also a mess, I plan to go to Shandong to have a look first, and when the situation is clear, I will send you to Nanjing, I am worried that your father's whereabouts are unknown, and a new monarch has been established in the south, and you are afraid of danger in the past." ”
The princess was stunned, this was something she hadn't expected, and she was at a loss for a while.
Yang Xin continued: "Your father's whereabouts are unknown, at this time Nanjing is very likely to set up a new monarch, if you venture to Nanjing and fall into the hands of the new monarch, it may be unfavorable to your father." ”
Yang Xin didn't understand why Chongzhen didn't hang himself in the coal mountain in this time and space, since Princess Changping didn't have her arm cut off, and Li Zicheng didn't fight the Qing army before the Qing army entered the customs, I am afraid that the development of the situation has deviated from the trajectory of history, and he is now not sure whether the south will be the new king of Lifu according to the original history.
The princess also experienced hardships, and after thinking about it carefully, she felt that Yang Xin's words were not unreasonable, she was too anxious before, and she always remembered what Uncle Wu told her to flee to Nanjing.
So he nodded and said, "Wei'er is up to Brother Yang's arrangement." ”
The two chatted about the things they had encountered since they parted, and Yang Xin told the princess about Xishan's escape from death, and couldn't help but sweat for him.
And the princess chatted with Yang Xin about the distress at the dock, Yang Xin was very interested, asked the details in detail, and sighed after listening: "In this way, this scorched lame, as well as Lin Fatzi, Xue Laosan are all talents, and today asked me about the salary of the new army, presumably it is this scorched lame!" ”
The princess chirped: "Phew, this fat man Lin is full of bad water, Xue Lao Sanji can act, I really thought he was so hungry that he had no choice but to steal the porcelain of a big family, only that scorched lame man, he is righteous, he doesn't tell lies, he is a sincere person." ”
Yang Xin said with a smile: "In these years, people who are too honest will not live long, this coke and lame man does not have these two brothers with bad stomachs, and he must not be able to be the boss of this epidemic, you are stupid, a group of people are in rags, how can the family of a big family dress like this, you shouldn't be nosy in the first place, others are the bureau of cloth!" ”
The princess suddenly realized, patted her chest and said, "It's true, this fat man is really necrotic!" ”
The two looked at each other and laughed, chatting until late at night, and Yang Xin reluctantly returned to his room next door.
Early the next morning, Yang Xin ordered Heizi to summon the three Jiao Cripples, and now that Huang Fuxing has been entrusted with the important task, Yang Xin appointed Heizi as the new captain of the guard, leading ten soldiers as his own and the princess's guard.
When the three of them came to the hall, Yang Xinli ignored the three of them, letting them stand, and he was concentrating on drawing something on the paper with a brush.
Lin Fatzi was suspicious, and a little uneasy, worried that Yang Xin would settle accounts after the autumn and punish the three of them for offending his wife before.
The two of them stood quietly with indifferent expressions.
Yang Xin looked down at the expressions of the three of them from time to time, and he already knew the characters of the three of them in his heart.
After a pillar of incense, Yang Xin finally finished painting, glanced up at the three of them, and said lightly: "General Ben heard that the three of you are making a living at the dock, I don't know if you can drive a boat?" ”
Jiao Cripple hurriedly said: "General Hui, the three of my brothers can sail a boat, especially my second brother and third brother, they are from the seaside of Fujian, because the family offended the people of Zheng Jing, the general soldier of Fujian, so they had to flee north to the territory of the Dashun army, they have been making a living in the sea since they were children, and they are familiar with driving boats." ”
Yang Xin was taken aback, when he came to this era, he heard of Zheng Jing for the first time, that is, Zheng Chenggong's father, and he didn't expect that he actually had Zheng Jing's opponent under him.
So he glanced at Lin Laosan and the two, looked at his expression, and found that Lin Fatzi's face did not change, the water was too deep, and it was estimated that it would be difficult for him to get the truth, so he set his eyes on Xue Laosan and asked, "Oh, Xue Laosan, you say come and see, how did you offend the Zheng family?" ”
That Xue Laosan was very bold, and he was not afraid of Yang Xin's gaze at all, and said: "General Hui, I and Lin Fatzi's family originally followed Boss Gao to live on the sea, and the Zheng family was also mixed at sea, since Xiong Wencan's recruitment, I wanted to dominate the sea alone, our Gao Boss was not convinced, fought a battle with them, lost, and died a lot of brothers, the Zheng family is now huge in Fujian, so we had to flee to Tianjin with our family." ”
Yang Xin finally understood, these two people turned out to be pirates, no wonder they had bad stomachs.
"Very good, General Ben decided to form the 4th small flag as a water army, with Jiao Cripple as a hundred households, you go to recruit fifty people, all of them must know water, preferably by the sea, and do it within three days, I will send the quartermaster Bai Youcai to cooperate with you, the treatment is still the same as you, the moon rings in half and two, go and do it!"
Yang Xin finally found a talent suitable for sea trade, and a bold plan surfaced in his heart.
And the three of Jiao Cripple stood on the spot, they didn't expect that they had only been in the Yang Family Army for ten days, and they were entrusted with such a heavy task, you must know that the entire Yang Family Army currently has three small flags, and now with them, there are four.
"What are you doing? Any questions? ”
Yang Xin saw that the three of them didn't react, looked at himself with his mouth wide open, and asked.
Jiao Cripple finally spoke, and said, "General, is the hundred households ringing for three taels of silver in the moon?" ”
On the side, Xue Laosan hurriedly pulled him and said softly: "Are you stupid, is this also a problem?" General Zhang has already said that 100 households will be doubled! ”
Lin Fatzi smiled, hugged his fist to Yang Xin and bowed to him: "The three of us brothers have to be reused by the general, and we will not disgrace our mission, it is not difficult to recruit soldiers who know how to water, Xue Laosan and I have brought a lot of people from Fujian." ”
Yang Xin nodded again and again when he heard this, but said lightly: "Very good, since you are brothers, you usually have to assist your eldest brother, so let's go!" ”
Only then did the three of them thank them and leave, laughing and laughing all the way.
Yang Xin stretched out his hand and beckoned the sunspot, and said, "You call Bai Youcai and Xu Sheng to come over." ”
Yang Xin picked up the paper in his hand and looked at the crooked graphics, which was the map of Shandong he drew from memory, which was naturally a mess, and he shook his head when he saw it, thought about it, and threw it into the trash.
