After listening to this, Qin Tai knew that this was the discretionary words of His Royal Highness King Han, and the gap between the strength of the north and the south was enough to see it in this battle of Jingjing.

It is said that when the world was in turmoil at that time, Jianwen once made a decree to let Qin Tai lead troops into Beijing King Qin, but at that time, Qin Tai saw that King Yan and King Han had already hit Yangzhou, and in his opinion, King Yan and King Han entered Yingtian, it was a matter of time.

Before, so many marshals went to stop King Yan and King Han, but as a result, the result was that every time one person went, one person would be defeated. Geng Bingwen, people like Li Jinglong are defeated, will they be their opponents?

So when Qin Tai saw King Han, his mood was more or less complicated.

Qin Tai took Zhu Song to watch the martial arts exercises of the soldiers of the Zhejiang Guard, before this Qin Tai had given a death order, so that the soldiers under his command should show their spirit in front of His Royal Highness King Han no matter what, so these soldiers, even if some of them have never participated in the war, but at this time they still took out the spirit that a soldier should have, and the martial arts are not bad.

His Royal Highness King Han is in front, and Zhejiang Sansi is behind. These soldiers are under the pressure of a mountain, even if they have never experienced war and are a group of new soldiers, they have to show momentum.

After watching the martial arts performance, Zhu Song took the lead in applauding, and the officials of the three divisions behind him also clapped their hands and applauded in unison.

"Commander Qin, the training of the soldiers in this Zhejiang Guard Station is still good, and it is already much stronger than the vast majority of soldiers in the Ming Dynasty who have not experienced war, and they are truly reborn, and now they are only one round of battle formation!"

"This king plans to ask the emperor for his life after a while, and the soldiers and horses of the world's guards will take turns to go to the north to defend the border, and fight a few battles with the Yuan people in the north, and they will definitely be reborn after a few wars."

After hearing this, Qin Tai thought about it carefully, and felt that this was a good way, it was not possible to train the soldiers, if you wanted to create an elite army, you had to fight.

Qin Tai immediately clapped his hand and said: "Your Highness, if this method is feasible, then my Ming soldiers can become elite soldiers, and they no longer have to fear foreign invasions, this is a really good thing!" ”

At this moment, Wu Qian stepped forward and hugged his fist.

"Your Highness, if you finish reading this guard, there is still someone in our Hangzhou City who wants to see His Highness's demeanor, I wonder if His Highness is willing to meet this person?"

Zhu Song sneered in his heart, it seemed that they finally couldn't stand it anymore.

"Oh, is it? But are there any officials in Zhejiang who have not seen this king? ”

Zhou Tong said with a smile next to him: "His Royal Highness Shishi, there is indeed another official His Royal Highness has never seen, and His Royal Highness has come to the crane this time, and there is a great relationship outside this pass, this official is Yao Dongwang, the transfer envoy of the Zhejiang Salt Transit Division, when His Royal Highness first landed in Hangzhou that day, this transfer envoy was not in Hangzhou at that time, but went down to other places in Zhejiang to collect salt taxes. ”

Zhu Song smiled after hearing this, and pretended to say casually: "If this is the case, then it seems that the news of this king is wrong, this king remembers that on the day of this king's first arrival, this lord was in Hangzhou, and he did not go to other places to collect salt taxes, could it be that the news of Jinyiwei is wrong?" ”

Zhou Tong and Wu Qian heard Zhu Song's words, their feet were soft, and they almost didn't kneel on the ground, and the facial features of the two of them were all twisted together, they knew that Zhu Song was deliberately beating them, and this was also telling them from the side, don't think about deceiving this king, this king has a lot of eyes and ears.

Zhou Tong hurriedly said: "Xiaguan estimates...... Maybe this Lord Yao came back on the day of His Highness's arrival, maybe his wife was too tired, and Lord Yao is already waiting for His Highness. ”

Zhu Song turned his head to look at Zhou Tong and Wu Qian, smiled and said, "Since Lord Yao is the transfer envoy of the Salt Transit Envoy, then this king will listen to the two adults and meet this transfer envoy." ”

Fortunately, Zhou Song didn't open his eyes and was about to kill in anger, Zhou Tong and Wu Qian left the guard with His Royal Highness King Han, and did not return to Hangzhou City, and took Zhu Song all the way up the Qiantang River and stopped in front of a small village.

Zhu Song got out of the carriage, and he saw an official wearing a blue official robe, carrying the official robe and running over in small steps.

"Zhejiang Salt Envoy Division Transit History, Yao Dongwang knocked to see His Highness."

Zhu Song helped Yao Dongwang up decently.

"Lord Yao, this king finally saw you, you don't know that this king is looking forward to the stars and the moon, this time I came to Zhejiang for you, but on the first day of this king's arrival, I heard that you were not in Hangzhou, but the Jinyiwei arranged by this king by your side clearly told this king, you are in Hangzhou?"

This Yao Dongwang chuckled in his heart when he heard this, only to feel that the sky was spinning, his feet were soft, and he almost sat on the ground. Zhou Tong and Wu Qian, who were standing behind Zhu Song, kept giving him glances, and Yao Dongwang quickly came back to his senses and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead.

"Your Highness, the lower official did go out that day, and later came back, after the lower official came back, His Royal Highness had already returned to Xingyuan to rest, so the lower official did not bother."

"Oh, yesterday the lower official went to His Royal Highness's line, but His Royal Highness was not in the line at the time, no way, there are many things in this yamen, so the lower official will go back to deal with business for the time being, and today I finally saw His Highness."

Zhu Song made a sudden realization: "Alas, it turns out that this king has misunderstood Lord Yao, Lord Yao does not need to panic, since this king has seen Lord Yao, this king will be steady." ”

"Lord Yao, how much is the salt tax this time?"

Yao Dongwang never expected that this Zhu Song would be so neat and straight to the point, and directly asked himself how much money he received, which made it clear that he was running for money, this is not just a bandit, he is simply a bandit!

"Your Highness, this year's salt tax has not been collected yet, because this year is not a war in the imperial court, and our salt tax in Zhejiang has already been paid, but Your Highness can rest assured that the salt tax in the second half of the year can still be collected, and this time it can almost be collected by about hundreds of thousands of taels."

Zhu Song's face was sad when he heard this.

"If there are only a few hundred thousand taels of deferred taxes, I'm afraid it will be difficult for this king to go back. In this way, this king will stay in Zhejiang for a few more days anyway, let's think of a way together, if this king can't bring back the amount that satisfies the saint this time, I'm afraid that not only this king, this from top to bottom, the court is going to rise up again! ”

Zhu Song's words were simple and rude, but if the officials who were still unclear about the situation really wouldn't say such things, it would be a suspicion of being forced, but everyone knew that the salt tax in the past four years must have been deducted by the officials of the two Zhejiang and Huai provinces for various reasons.
