Chapter 33: Silver Opens the Way

"The thirteenth master has a good memory, and the minister was promoted to the captain of the martial arts festival the year before last!" Qiu Hong is extremely humble.

Zhu Jinghong nodded, and motioned for Yinglian to pour tea.

"In this way, it is time to upgrade from the fourth grade...... Right? Zhu Jinghong asked indifferently.

Laughing twice, Qiu Hong's face was bitter: "Thirteenth Master Mingjian, it's just how difficult it is to be promoted across grades!" ”

In fact, he was able to rise to the rank of real power general in his thirties, and he was already the best among his peers.

On top of the positive five products, the real power and official positions have been sharply reduced, and it is still a radish and a pit, so it is naturally very difficult to be promoted.

"Is that it...... It's hard to say, but it's easy...... It's easy, too! ”

Zhu Jinghong was eating pastries while talking, looking very relaxed and comfortable, but Qiu Hong didn't think he was joking.

These days, he has also seen clearly, the prince relies on Zhu Jinghong very much, and he has the final say in Jinling's affairs.

"Please also ask the Thirteenth Master to solve your doubts!"

"You're a smart person, why don't you shine when it's critical!"

"Foolishness!"

didn't have the mind to talk nonsense, Zhu Jinghong immediately said: "My Ming Dynasty has always had clear rewards and punishments, and now you bring the troops to the Beijing camp, as long as you make a contribution!" ”

"As long as you have military merits, with your and my affection, I will say a few good words for you after returning to Beijing, and the old man will not reward you with four products?"

Although he was in his thirties, Qiu Hong couldn't help but be excited for a while when he heard this beautiful vision.

"The Thirteenth Master is willing to help me?" Qiu Hong got up again, hooked his waist and saluted Zhu Jinghong, his expression full of hope.

Motioning for Qiu Hong to sit down again, Zhu Jinghong continued: "What is the situation in Jinling now, you know, the coastal officials and troops have to encircle and suppress the Japanese invaders, and they also have to guard against the Japanese invaders from the sea, and the troops can be said to be stretched!" ”

"If you send you to the front line to assist the guards to clear out the Japanese bandits, it must be very easy to make meritorious contributions!"

Fighting a war and making meritorious contributions, this was Qiu Hong's idea of coming to Jinling, but unfortunately the prince never mentioned this matter after he arrived in Yingtian.

"The Thirteenth Master means ......"

"I mean, I recommend that you lead your troops to the east and assist the Guards to clear out the Japanese Bandits!"

In other words, after he Qiu Hong came to Jinling, he could finally lead his troops to battle.

Qiu Hong was excited, and then asked, "Why doesn't Your Highness let Yang Renzhong go with him?" In this way, the two of us occupy the north and the south, and the chances of exterminating the Japanese are even greater! ”

The reason for this is that the temporary transfer of food cannot support large-scale army operations, and it is already necessary to squeeze all localities to replenish the front.

Yang Renzhong led the infantry, and the logistical pressure was relatively small, so it seemed objectively more reasonable for him to go to the front line.

And the reason why Zhu Jinghong chose Qiu Hong was because of the mobility of his cavalry, which was undoubtedly more effective for defending the long coast.

Of course, Zhu Jinghong will not tell these truths.

"What is the meaning of you and me? If there is a good thing, you must let your own people go first, you don't understand this truth? Zhu Jinghong asked angrily.

Qiu Hong hurriedly confessed: "The thirteenth master carries love, and the minister is really grateful!" ”

"Okay, okay, what is grateful or not, it's all empty words...... You have to fight hard and kill more pirates, so as to live up to my love and concern! ”

Hearing this, Qiu Hong was really moved, this is a real benefit!

"Thank you for the love of the Thirteenth Master, the ministers will do their best to strangle the widows!"

"Hmm...... That's the best! ”

With a simple little means, Zhu Jinghong reaped the gratitude of Jinling Dusi and Qiu Hong at the same time, and today can be described as a full harvest for him.

Next, the two continued to drink tea, and Zhu Jinghong encouraged them again, and the conversation between the two was over.

Qiu Hong returned with all his happiness, and at this moment he was full of fighting spirit and vowed to lead the troops to fight the Japanese invaders.

"Childe, why do these officials see you like mice and cats?"

"What the hell does your house do?"

In the pavilion, Yinglian asked this question in person.

Everyone hid it from her, and her strong curiosity had made her unable to hold back, and she had to ask about it at the moment.

Of course, she also saw that Zhu Jinghong was kind-hearted and would not be angry with her before asking, after all, the little girl was still quite smart.

The residue of pastry on his hands, Zhu Jinghong clapped his hands and said; "Actually, it's nothing, it's just a good father!"

"What does your house do?"

Zhu Jinghong smiled slightly and replied, "My family...... It's sitting in the world! ”

"Sitting in the world?"

Just after a little thought, Yinglian's face suddenly changed greatly, and the whole person froze directly in place.

After a long time, Yinglian trembled and asked, "Childe, are you ...... Rajah? ”

The emperor's son is the prince, and this rule has been more than 300 years since Zhu Yuanzhang, and it has become common sense in the world.

"It's not...... But it's almost there! Zhu Jinghong's tone was still calm, as if he was talking about an ordinary matter.

But these days, through Yinglian's observation of the palace, she knows that Zhu Jinghong is telling the truth, and only this result is reasonable.

"The Thirteenth Master of Qiqi, Jinling asks to see the son of He Gujin according to the inspector!"

The sudden sound of the announcement outside interrupted Zhu Jinghong's conversation with Yinglian.

Zhu Jinghong turned his head, looked up and down at Deng An, who came to pass the word, and asked slowly: "This person has no official status, how can he get close to the palace gate?" How can I find you to spread the word? ”

Deng An came to pass the word after receiving the money, and was questioned by Zhu Jinghong at this moment, he said that it was not right to tell the truth and lie, and he was stunned for a while.

"Damn it, slave take his favor!"

This Deng An is a smart person, and he knows that he can't hide Zhu Jinghong from lying, so he simply tells the truth.

"Hmph, you're good at business!"

Looking at Deng An, who was kneeling on the ground, Zhu Jinghong asked in a deep voice, "What is he doing here?" ”

"Back to the Thirteenth Master, this person brought a lot of things, including weapons and horses, I'm just afraid of ...... I'm here to give a gift to my lord! Deng An replied cautiously.

"It's the first time I've been bribed...... It's so much fun! Zhu Jinghong's eyes were like torches.

After reviewing the current pattern of Jinling, Zhu Jinghong guessed that this person must have something to ask for, so he ordered Deng An to bring people in.

Leaving the pavilion, Deng An wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, which could be regarded as frightening him, so he wanted He Jiayan to double the money.

Hurried to the palace gate, Deng An first said how troublesome it was to help pass the word, and then reminded how complicated the rules were for entering the palace to meet people, but he could help with people.

So for the sake of convenience, He Jiayan shot a hundred taels, and Deng An smiled.

"He Gongzi, please come ......"

He Jiayan looked embarrassed, glanced at the convoy behind him, and asked, "But these things ......?"

Perhaps because he was happy to get the silver, Deng An said indifferently: "Let the guards check it and bring it in!" ”

"That's great!" He Jiayan was very happy.

In the forbidden place of the palace, people have to be interrogated and inspected when they enter, and it is no exception to carry things.

Soon, from the things He Jiayan carried, he found swords, bows, crossbows, and even armor and firearms that belonged to the controlled products.

In the end, after He Jiayan's good explanation, plus Deng An's life as a guarantee, these things were able to be sent to the palace.

It's just that, in order to ensure absolute safety, Qianhu on duty sent thirty soldiers to escort these things into the palace together.

"He Gongzi, I will guarantee your life for you, how can you repay this child's love?"

"Don't worry, father-in-law, I know it in my heart!" He Jiayan replied with a smile.

"If you want me to say...... Just give a few hundred taels of silver! ”

only gave two hundred taels, which is a few hundred taels when he opened his mouth, He Jiayan secretly scolded Deng An for being insatiable.

"Well said...... Say! He Jiayan endured the heartache.
