The two palace maids laughed together, but in this shop they were much more free than in the palace, and there were not so many rules.

"Stopped, stopped, somebody came to buy something." Li Chengcheng got up and smiled to see the excitement, but saw someone walking towards the store, and hurriedly reminded him.

Only then did the palace maids stop laughing and playing, and they all returned to each other, standing in a dignified manner.

When Zhu Youxiao walked into the store with Zhang Yuer, there were already customers selecting goods, and an idle palace maid stepped forward to greet him.

"Just take a look, I'll trouble you when I buy it." Zhu Youxiao was annoyed by a promoter behind his ass in his previous life, and he waved his hand to send the palace maid away.

Most of the goods on the shelves are from the palace, such as wine, sauce, vinegar, and candy. But there are also some that are not, Zhu Youxiao was a little surprised.

"Is this preserved fruit sour?" Zhang Yuer stretched out her finger and asked uncertainly.

"It's not very sour, it's sweet and sour." The palace maid who had just walked away hurriedly turned around and introduced with a smile: "If the young lady is sour, you can dip it in sugar, or smear some honey before eating." ”

As she spoke, the palace maid turned around and took a plate from the counter, which was a variety of preserved fruit compotes cut into small pieces, and there were toothpicks on the side of the plate, "Miss can taste it and see which flavor you like." ”

Well, this way of doing business can have. Zhu Youxiao nodded secretly and smiled and motioned for Zhang Yuer to taste. He walked to the chair next to him and sat down, fiddling with the folding fan, and bowed his head slightly.

Zhang Yu'er was a little uncomfortable with the title of Miss, and said with a smile: "My name is Zhang Yu'er, don't call Miss Miss." ”

"Then call Miss Yu'er." The palace maid changed her name very interestingly, and smiled and held the plate in front of Zhang Yu'er.

Li Chengcheng felt a little familiar when Zhang Yuer entered the store, and while looking at it from time to time, he frowned slightly and recalled where he had seen it.

Suddenly, Li Chengcheng's eyes widened, and she remembered.

When I walked outside the East Palace, I heard cats barking inside and again, mixed with the exclamations of the women. Then, it was this young woman who hurriedly came out with a white and chubby cat in her arms and walked towards the Qianqing Palace.

Qianqing Palace, of course Li Chengcheng knew that it was the palace where the emperor was, and he had also heard that there was a cat named Bai Niangniang who was very popular with the emperor.

In this way, isn't she the palace maid who waits for Bai Niangniang in the Qianqing Palace? Can a palace maid leave the palace casually? Of course not. Then the young man next to her, is it......

Li Chengcheng was shocked when he had such a conjecture, and he began to pay attention to Zhu Youxiao's speech and demeanor again.

For such a long time, Zhu Youxiao has been in a high position for a long time, and naturally formed a momentum of a superior person. To put it simply, it is the feeling of Lao Tzu being the first in the world.

Moreover, for those goods that came out of the court, he was not interested in them after just glancing at them. If it is a different person, it is rare to ask or complain about the high price.

The more he looked at it, the more he looked at it, Li Chengcheng felt that his heartbeat was faster, and something he couldn't have dreamed of had happened. The Supreme Emperor of the Ninety-Five Dynasty appeared in front of him so peacefully and casually.

With his eyes rolling, Li Chengcheng decided to make a bold move.

She quickly poured a cup of tea, held it and came to Zhu Youxiao's side, bowed down and offered it respectfully, but when Zhu Youxiao gestured to put it on the small table with a fan, she said softly: "White Arowana suit, see the sleepiness." Nobles should not be careless. ”

The idiom of the white dragon fish suit originally refers to the white dragon turning into a fish swimming in the abyss and being injured by the fisherman. It is a metaphor for a noble person to travel in micro-clothes, and there may be an accident.

Zhu Youxiao's eyes flashed, and he guessed that most of the palace maids recognized him. But he can speak vaguely and not loudly, but it is very much in line with his heart.

"What's your name?" Zhu Youxiao was also very curious that this palace maid had some talent, and she just stayed at the counter, and she seemed to be the manager of the store, so she asked with a smile.

Li Chengcheng bowed and stood up, and replied softly: "The slave's surname is Li, and his name is Chengcheng." ”

Chengcheng? Cheng Cheng?! Zhu Youxiao raised his eyes and looked at it, but he didn't know whether it was his beautiful appearance or elegant temperament, but he really looked so similar.

"Very good." Zhu Youxiao bowed his head slightly, appreciating the cleverness of this palace maid, and even spoke impeccably, calling himself a slave instead of a slave, and said: "Li Chengcheng, remember you." ”

Li Chengcheng bowed his head and gently pursed the corners of his mouth, revealing a happy smile.

Over there, Zhang Yuer also tasted the candied fruit, bought two packs of her own money, and walked over happily.

Zhu Youxiao stood up, glanced at Li Chengcheng with a kind face, turned around and walked out of the store with Zhang Yuer.

The palace maid Xiao Mo sent away another patron, looked at Li Chengcheng in surprise, and said, "Sister Chengcheng, I seem to have heard you tell that young man his name!" ”

"You heard me wrong." Li Chengcheng had a ghost in his heart, but he forced himself to calm down and said, "I told him to come and visit often." ”

Xiao Mo blinked, the look of doubt on her face was undiminished, but she was not sure.

"Alright, report the account, I'll make a note of it." Li Chengcheng entered the counter, picked up the pen, and also diverted the topic.

……………… Divider...............

Outside the soil must first be settled inside, which is also the main reason why Zhu Youxiao retreated in western Liaoning first.

First, the combat strength of the Ming army was insufficient, and it was necessary to change course and train a strong army that was well-equipped and capable of fighting;

The second is to solve the hidden dangers within the Ming Dynasty, promote the good and eliminate the disadvantages, so that the finances are rich and the society is stable.

However, internal problems not only include the accumulation of shortcomings in reform, but also the rebellion in the southwest, whether it can be pacified as soon as possible, and whether the Ming army can concentrate its forces and launch a counteroffensive against Jiannu.

You must know that the Extravagant Rebellion lasted in history until the tenth year of Chongzhen, and it was completely suppressed.

In other words, if there are no variables, it will take fifteen or six years, which is absolutely unacceptable to Zhu Youxiao.

And although this war is called the Extravagant Rebellion, Zhu Youxiao knows that Extravagant Chongming is not fearful, and the Shuixian family is the main reason for the long delay of the war.

You must know that the Shuixian family has been more than 1,000 years from the first year of Shu Han Jianxing to the present. It can be said that it has a deep foundation, a long history, a four-party marriage, the strongest army, and the most extensive area.

The main reason why the rebellion could last for such a long time was that the terrain of Shuixi in Guizhou was too complicated, with dense forests and deep ravines and dense mountains.

In history, the Ming army suffered a lot of losses, and Wang Sanshan, Lu Qin, etc. were all martyred because of this; Even Wu Sangui's expedition to Shuixi was almost trapped to death.

Therefore, it is easy to defeat the rebels, but when the rebels retreat back to their nests, it is difficult for the officers and soldiers to plow the court and sweep the holes and eliminate them in one fell swoop. After the rebels recuperated, they jumped out to make trouble.

Zhu Youxiao did not have a good solution to this problem. But it is imperative to keep the rebels in a position to hold back as quickly as possible.

As early as two months ago, Zhu Youxiao issued an order that this year's gold and silver should be halved and sent to Beijing, and the rest of the money and grain would be transferred to Changde, Chongqing, and other places, so as to increase the supply and reserve of food and salaries for the counterinsurgency officers and soldiers.

A month ago, Zhu Youxiao drew 3,000 men and horses from each of the two battalions of Yongwei and Xuanfeng to the south along the Cao River to reinforce Guiyang.

In addition to the reinforced army, Zhu Youxiao also selected 200 students from the martial arts to form a field observation group and go to the southwest for actual combat training.

At this time, the reinforced troops had already completed the Cao Road, changed to the ships of the naval division at the Yangtze River, and traveled up the river to Changde.

Changde, known as "Wuling" and "Langzhou" in ancient times, is located in the north of Hunan, on the west side of Dongting Lake in the south of the Yangtze River, at the foot of Wuling Mountain, and is known as "the throat of Sichuan and Guizhou, the gateway of Yunnan and Guizhou".

From Changde to the south, through Chenzhou, through Yuanzhou (which has been occupied by the rebels), the Hunan and Guizhou roads were opened, and only Tongren was left on the road to reinforce Guiyang.

How to march, supplies along the way, combat strategies, etc., are all repeatedly studied and decided by the military department and martial arts. Of course, Zhu Youxiao did not forget to remind the officers who went to help, and ordered the prefectures and counties along the way to make arrangements in advance.

Clouds float in the blue sky, ripple in the undulating river, and large and small ships proudly head west.

Xu Hongyu stood on the deck, looking at the scene on both sides of the strait, pursing the corners of his mouth slightly, showing a few smiles.

For him, who was born in Jiangnan, these are familiar scenes, but when he sees them again, he has a different feeling.

Now, he is not playing in the mountains and rivers, nor is he escaping from the shackles of the deep mansion, but is approaching the battlefield of conquest and embarking on the road of meritorious service.

"Third young ......" Xu Xiaoqi just shouted half a sentence, and was glared back by the young master.

He was dressed as a small soldier, and he didn't participate in the Beijing camp for a long time, but as a native of Jiangnan, he was naturally selected, which was also to minimize the attrition caused by the lack of adaptation.

"Sir." Xu Xiaoqi saluted dignifiedly, which was recognized by the young master's jaw.

Xu Hongyu pointed ahead and said, "In one more hour, we will almost reach Dongting Lake." We've been here before, haven't you forgotten? ”

Xu Xiaoqi nodded and said, "I remember, three years ago, I swam across the lake with the young master, and it was really big!" ”

After a pause, Xu Xiaoqi continued: "I heard that the Yimin people are very barbaric and fierce, and there are hundreds of thousands, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to relieve the siege of Guiyang, right?" ”

Xu Hongyu patted Xu Xiaoqi's arm and said with a smile: "How can there be hundreds of thousands, and it will not exceed 100,000 if it is full." As for what barbarism and ferocity, it is even more nonsense. Don't worry, with our two battalions, let's not talk about the siege of Guiyang, there is no problem in blocking one side. ”

Xu Xiaoqi thought for a while and grinned: "Yes, it's not our two battalions of men and horses who are quelling the rebellion, but also the officers and soldiers of other provinces!" ”

Saying that, Xu Xiaoqi looked back at the east with some hope, and said: "When the battle is over, can we have a holiday, let's go back to Nanjing Mansion to have a look." ”

Xu Hongyu shrugged his shoulders and said, "There's nothing to look at, I don't want to." ”

Xu Xiaoqi wanted to say more, but saw an officer coming over and hurriedly saluted.

This officer, like Xu Hongyu, was a member of the observation group, but he was a native of Guizhou, and even his family lived in Guiyang, so he was more eager than Xu Hongyu to break the siege.

The two got together, pointed out the situation, and talked enthusiastically, but there was no room for Xu Xiaoqi to interject.

At this time, the situation at the front line had changed a lot from when they set out from the capital.

At the junction of Sichuan and Guizhou, officers and soldiers fought many battles with the rebels of Hao Chongming in the areas of Jianwu, Changning (now east of Juexian County, Sichuan Province), Juexian, Yibin, and Zunyi, and there were victories and defeats with each other, showing a stalemate.

The new governor Wang Sanshan led the army to recover Yuanzhou, and sent the chief soldier Zhang Yanfang to lead 20,000 troops to aid Guiyang, but was lured and defeated by the rebels in Longli.

Wang Sanshan had no choice but to stop the action for the time being, on the one hand, to accumulate grain and troops, and on the other hand, to wait for reinforcements from Huguang, Guangxi, and Yunnan to arrive.

However, the arrival of reinforcements from Beijing indicates that the historical trajectory has changed again, and the counterinsurgency war has entered a new stage.
