Jin Li had already gone south to Fujian, and Su Yan, who got the news, was not in the mood to stay in the center and left.

After explaining to Zhu Chenggong, he was ready to return to Quanzhou Mansion, but after hearing Su Yan's resignation, Zhu Chenggong thought for a while and said: "You go back this time, the next time you see you may be after the war, Fu Bo, you lead An Guo to meet with Wu Niang." So saying, he instructed the old butler who was standing beside him.

"Yes." The old butler who called Fu Bo saluted, then looked at Su Yan and said, "Please, General Su." ”

"This ......" Su Yan hesitated a little, but since Zhu Chenggong had spoken, he still bowed and left the front hall with the old housekeeper.

In this era, except for the men of the family, outsiders are not allowed to enter the back hall where the female dependents live, and Su Yan is no exception, so Fu Bo first brought him into a room, and then sent a maidservant to inform Zheng Chagu to come over, and let Su Yan wait for a few minutes before Zheng Chagu, who was dressed in a white robe, walked in with broken steps.

"General Su." She entered the room and said a blessing to Su Yan.

Su Yan returned the salute, and after that, the two fell into silence, staring at each other wide-eyed, not knowing what to say.

Although he is a human being in two lives, he is not very experienced in facing girls, and even if a girl takes the initiative to give him a hug in his previous life, he will pretend to be stupid and pretend not to understand the other party's hints - without him, it is purely without worldly desires.

Looking at Zheng Chagu's fair face, After a while, Su Yan finally broke the silence and said: "Fifth girl, I will return to Quanzhou today, the army of the Qing court will be in Quanzhou in less than two months, at this critical juncture, I will go back to preside over the situation and fight with the Qing army." ”

"General Su, take care." Zheng Chagu whispered, "The sword on the battlefield has no eyes, don't risk your life, the slave family will wait for the general in the center and left." ”

After speaking, she took out a red sachet from her sleeve and tied it around Su Yan's waist herself, then took a step back and said: "This is the sachet sewn by the slave family last night, and the picture of the tiger descending the mountain is painted on it. ”

Su Yan picked up the sachet when he heard this, and saw that the sachet was indeed tattooed with a roaring tiger, which was lifelike, and at a glance, he knew that the owner who sewed it had a deep handicraft skill.

"Thank you, Fifth Girl." Su Yan clenched his fists and said, "Yan will definitely keep in mind the girl's entrustment, and the day when Yan breaks the golden stone will be the time when the matchmaker comes to the door to propose marriage." ”

After saying that, he said goodbye again, and left the room under the gaze of Zheng Chagu.

A few steps after walking out, Su Yan suddenly patted his head with some annoyance, and said in his heart: "Why did I set up such a big one just now, if this is put in a TV series or a book, before the war, most of the people who said that they would come back to marry after the war would most likely die in the battlefield." ”

But the words had already been spoken, and it was useless to think about it again, so Su Yan continued to walk out.

……

When Su Yan came to the gate of the Zhangguo Mansion, Zhu Chenggong was already waiting there.

On the street in front of the Guogong Mansion, Chen Ying led the general's guard and two groups of line infantry to wait in line.

Their movements were uniform, silent, and the mere mere standing gave people an air of solemnity.

"Anguo." Zhu Chenggong patted Su Yan's shoulder affectionately, and said: "I won't say anything superfluous, take care, after the war, I hope to be able to eat your celebration wine, as well as your and Wu Niang's wedding wine." ”

"It's nature."

Su Yan bowed his head, and he beckoned to Chen Ying at this time, who hurriedly stepped forward, stood at the foot of the steps, and saluted: "Handsome!" ”

"Bring me my gun."

Su Yan said.

Chen Ying agreed, took out Su Yan's flint short hair, and respectfully held it to Su Yan.

Su Yan took the short gun, looked at Zhu Chenggong, and said, "The kid doesn't have anything in his hand to give to the fifth girl now, this flint short gun is my belongings, and the eldest brother is bothered to transfer it to the fifth girl." ”

Zhu Chenggong nodded, took the short gun, and said, "An Guo's intentions, I will turn into a position." ”

"Thank you."

After Su Yan finished speaking, he and Chen Ying left the Zhongzuo Institute together and went to Xiamen Port.

……

In the afternoon of the same day, Su Yan returned to Quanzhou Mansion by boat.

As soon as he returned to Quanzhou Mansion, Su Yan began to order the construction of chariots to be used in the car battalion.

It is not necessarily said that it is a combat vehicle, but it should be said that it is a mobile fortress.

In just one month, Su Yan had to build as many chariots as possible, and in order to defend against cannon projectiles, he had to nail another layer of skin on the surface of the chariots.

In order to speed up the construction period, Su Yan was also ruthless, and gathered all the carpenters in the six counties of Quanzhou Prefecture and rewarded them with a lot of money, so as to boost the morale of the carpenters.

Because of the artisan household system in the Ming Dynasty, craftsmen have always had a very low status, but now they are so valued by Su Yan, and there are additional rewards, so they are naturally grateful, and even their work efficiency has improved a lot.

On the other hand, Su Yan did not forget what he thought when he was in Xiamen, and returned to the Admiral's Mansion - oh no, it should be called the General's Mansion now.

After returning to the General's Mansion, Su Yan ordered his multi-functional adjutant Chen Ying to buy some subordinates in the Yahang in the city to add some popularity to the General's Mansion.

After Chen Ying returned, there was an extra housekeeper, eighteen servants and ten maidservants in the house, all of whom had fled from the north, to ensure that each of them had no unscrupulous hobbies and was innocent before being selected.

Of course, in order to prevent spies from the Qing army from getting involved, Su Yan also asked Jinyi Wei Wang Yuan to investigate them.

……

On the other side, Fuzhou Prefecture.

Zhang Yingmeng, who returned to Fuzhou from Xinghua Mansion, followed Chen Jin, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, to meet Jin Li, who had traveled south from Zhejiang.

Jin Li, the Han army inlaid with the red flag, outstanding achievements, great contributions, was only canonized by the imperial court last year as the general of Pingnan, can be described as a bright future.

However, after he went south to Fujian, his great future was destined to be lost here.

Because, what he is about to encounter is his biggest enemy in this life - Su Yan.

Jin Li didn't know his future fate yet, at this time he was dressed in official clothes, bowed to Chen Jin, and said, "The last general, Jin Li, meet the governor." ”

"General Jin, I've worked hard all the way." Chen Jin said with a smile: "This is Lord Zhang Yingmeng, the governor of Fujian's land routes. ”

"The last general has seen Master Zhang."

Jin Li saluted again.

Zhang Yingmeng nodded with a smile, and the hand he hid in his sleeve subconsciously grabbed the silver ticket in his hand.

"This governor has already set up a feast in the drunken immortal tower in the city, so please ask General Jin to go with him on a different route." Chen Jin said.

"Your Excellency the Governor asks for an invitation, how can the last general refuse?" After Jin Li finished speaking, he made a gesture and said, "Your Excellency the Governor, please." ”

Chen Jin nodded with a smile and took the lead in the direction of the Drunken Immortal Tower in the city.

Before leaving, Jin Li recruited his lieutenant general and ordered him to lead the Red Banner Army that followed the south to camp in the barracks outside the city.

On the way south, Jin Li had heard some gossip about Quanzhou Mansion, and now seeing Chen Jin and Zhang Yingmeng so attentive, he suddenly had some speculation.

"Could it be that something really happened to Quanzhou Mansion?"

Looking at the backs of Chen Jin and Zhang Yingmeng, Jin Li secretly pondered in his heart.
