Zhu Zhanyan didn't kill anyone, whether it was Zhang Sheng or Tuhuan, even if he had enough reasons.

With Dehuan, with Zhang Sheng, and with his own prince guards and Wusi Zangdu Division, a total of nearly 100,000 troops, Zhu Zhan Yan marched towards Xi'an Mansion in a mighty manner.

Zhu Zhan Yan was going to turn to the waterway in Xi'an, take a boat on the Yellow River to enter the canal, and then go to Shuntianfu.

Although the Yellow River was not suitable for navigation, it was only relative to large-tonnage ships, and there was nothing wrong with wooden ships in this era, and they did not carry cargo.

The only problem is that 100,000 troops, some are too much.

If you want to take this 100,000 army together, it will take at least more than 100 boats, and the current Chang'an is no longer the capital of the Han and Tang dynasties, and water transportation is not abandoned, but it is also too bad.

Moreover, it is not a simple matter to requisition a hundred ships in a short time.

Shunting a boat is not the same as a shunting car, the car can be transferred from all directions, but the boat can only be transferred from both sides of the river.

Don't bring people from the Usizang Dusi into Beijing? Zhu Zhanyan didn't want to do this.

Right now, that cousin of his own is about to put himself to death, and as the emperor, he even gave all the artillery to the wolf's ambition to be exposed, what else can't be done?

Just when Zhu Zhanyan was about to give up the convenient waterway and take everyone by land, a ...... No, it was a group, an unexpected group of people who found him.

Jin Shang.

Speaking of Jin merchants, Zhu Zhan Yan did not have any good feelings, because he knew very well what the historical Jin merchants did during the period from the middle of the Ming Dynasty to the end of the Ming Dynasty.

Let's put it this way, the fall of the Ming Dynasty was the collapse of the system, the greed of the corrupt Confucians, the inaction of the faint king, and the bottom line of the merchants.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Jin merchants were the first traitors, and they peddled large quantities of grain, weapons, armor, and other things that should not have been given to foreign enemies to the Jurchens.

In the first seven years of Yongle, Zhu Zhan's main target was the southeast maritime merchants when he first cracked down on corruption, but at that time, a considerable number of Jin merchants were pulled out of the radish and brought out of the mud.

However, at that time, there was no name of Jin Shang on the surface.

And now, they took the initiative to find Zhu Zhan and wanted to mobilize ships for Zhu Zhan Yan.

Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief.

Zhu Zhanyan knew very well what Jin Shang wanted, but he didn't care, and he was willing to make empty promises.

But at the same time, his dislike for the merchants of this era is also a little deeper.

Everyone is good and bad, and the same is true for businessmen, but judging from Zhu Zhanqi's own experience, he can only say that in ancient times, he always emphasized agriculture and suppressed business, and it was not unreasonable to say that businessmen valued profit over righteousness.

Weishui Wharf.

Zhu Zhanyan glanced at the Jin merchants who were waiting outside the dock, beckoned, and asked Zhu Ling to take the prince to guard the ship to check first, while he took advantage of the crowd to surging, and when his figure was blocked, he pulled over the Danba Wangdui.

"I'll take 30,000 people first, and I'll leave the rest to you."

"Remember! Be careful! These people are not well-intentioned! ”

"Yes!" Danbawang nodded very cautiously.

The figures were crowded, and Zhu Zhan Yan, who was blocked by the crowd, appeared again, and Danba Wangdui stood behind Zhu Zhan Yan, very respectful.

It's as if nothing had happened.

After about a stick of incense, after Zhu Ling and the others finished checking and confirming that there were no problems with all the ships, Zhu Zhan Yan began to take people on board.

Danba Wangdui stood at the pier, with more than 70,000 people, watching Zhu Zhanyan leave.

However, what no one saw was that on the third floor of a restaurant outside the dock, a person was staring at the departing ship.

……

It was night, in the restaurant outside the Weishui Wharf.

Mobilizing ships capable of carrying more than 70,000 people is not a trivial matter, nor is it an easy task.

It is true that the Jin merchants have money and connections to mobilize ships, but even if they can contact a sufficient number of ships immediately, it will take time for the ships to come.

On the third floor of the restaurant, two people stood by the window, looking at the soldiers of the Usizangdu Division on the dock.

More than 70,000 people, it is not easy to find a place to spend the night, normally speaking, the army usually has to spend the night outside the city, but they have to leave by boat tomorrow, and it is a very disturbing thing to go back and forth.

Simply, Danba Wangdui took people to station at Weishui Wharf.

Anyway, they will leave tomorrow, and there was a curfew at night in the feudal era, which would not affect ordinary people.

"Will it work?"

On a quiet night, this abrupt voice seemed to be very loud, but because there were no people and the distance was too far, there was not much reaction.

"No problem, I specially observed how Zhu Zhan's Shizi guards inspected the ships during the day today, if this Danba Wangdui and Shizi guards inspect in the same way, then they can get by."

"Then it should be no problem, Danba Wangdui is a person from the Wusi Zangdu Division, and he can't touch the ship at all on weekdays, he should be a learned person who follows Zhu Zhan's son to escort and inspect."

"Then go to bed early, tomorrow...... I'm afraid it will cause an uproar ......"

The night is silent again.

Time doesn't stop for anyone, and no one knows what tomorrow will look like, even if something happens tomorrow the way some people envision.

But some things happen the way others envision.

……

Royal Palace, Kunning Palace.

It has been less than a year since Emperor Hongxi died, and this year is still the first year of Hongxi, so even if she is now the queen mother, the Zhang family still lives in this Kunning Palace.

Wait until next year, it will be the first year of Zhu Zhanji's Xuande, and then this Kunning Palace will have to change hands, and it is not yet known where the Zhang family will live at that time.

In the impression of later generations, Qianqing Palace is the emperor's bedroom, Kunning Palace is the queen's bedroom, and Cining Palace is the queen's bedroom.

But in fact, there is no Cining Palace in the Shuntian Emperor Palace today, and the Cining Palace, which is widely known in later generations, was built in the fifteenth year of Jiajing.

However, it is too early to think about this, because it is not something that should be considered now.

Zhang knelt on the ground and in front of her was a small Buddhist shrine with the spiritual seats of her father-in-law and husband.

The shrine and the shrine were spotless, the incense in the incense burner was new, and even the smoke stains around the incense burner were wiped clean.

Zhang has never been a believer in Buddhism, but now she has become a devout believer.

Think about it, whether it is Zhu Zhanji or Zhu Zhanji, the mothers of both of them seem to have similar experiences.

They have gone from having no faith to becoming devout believers today.

And now, Zhang's heart is full of pleading, praying that the gods and Buddhas who don't know whether they exist or not will be able to hear her appeal.

Her son has changed, and now she can't control this once obedient and filial son, so he can only pray.

Pray that the gods and Buddhas of the heavens will hear her appeal, that her father-in-law and husband will have knowledge, and that tomorrow will come slowly.

However, time is never merciless, it brings everything and takes everything away, never speeding up or staying at anyone's will.

Listening to the sound outside, Zhang's body trembled slightly.

The sky is dawning......

Yesterday, because there was an urgent matter in my hometown, I went back to a trip, and the missing update will be made up, at least one more for a while, two more if there are more, and the rest will be made up tomorrow.
