Chapter 709 Zhengde's Wish

There is an additional update today, which should be the third update, but if you are out, you may also have the fourth update because you don’t want to leave any suspense, well, that’s it.

———

Xie Hong also has some considerations if he doesn't rush to return to Beijing.

He was not very worried about Jiangnan. Last time he was in Ningbo, he had already shown his strength and beautiful vision to all families in all directions. Those people were not stupid, they could not listen to the wind or the rain, and immediately turned to the side of King Ning.

At most, King Ning only had high officials and generous salaries. Compared with the practical and feasible blueprint of navigation proposed by Xie Hong, it can only be said to be very illusory. There are only so many positions in the court, and if given to the Zhang family, it cannot be given to the Li family. Those who benefited from the change of dynasty have always been only a few people. Unless it is the general trend, the people of Jiangnan should not respond in groups.

The key is the battle in Yingzhou. When the news of the victory reaches Jiangnan, King Ning's army may collapse without fighting. Even if it is a bit unexpected, Wang Shouren is there. Brother Bo'an is the nemesis of King Ning, so what should I worry about?

It is more troublesome to make Zhengde return to Beijing. The little guy has already lost his heart this time. If the situation in Jiangnan deteriorates or the news has not yet been sent back, he will probably be clamoring to go to the expedition in person. What should he do if the political reforms he is brewing or liquidation?

If there is no emperor here, things will be difficult to make a big deal. After the Xuanfu changes, Xie Hong felt that political reform was an urgent task and could not allow those people to engage in conspiracy.

You should know that in the original history, less than two years after Zhengde won the Battle of Yingzhou, the literati and officials successfully plotted against him and took advantage of the opportunity that Zhengde was wandering around outside.

Xie Hong couldn't bear to see Zhengde. He could only find a way to eliminate those potential enemies first. Even if it implicates innocent people, he would have to do it once.

After presenting facts, reasoning, and various temptations, they persuaded Zhengde, and the army finally returned to Yingzhou.

At this time, Yingzhou was full of busy scenes.

While the war was going on, the soldiers and civilians in Yingzhou were worried. For them, the Tartars were the most terrifying dream. If these beasts won, they would definitely rob Yingzhou; it would be troublesome to lose because they had a relatively high motivation. During the defeat and escape, they would also plunder the four fields to vent their anger.

Therefore, when the shouts of killing were silent, Yingzhou was also closed, and people from all over the countryside hid in the city, hoping that the city walls that were not too high or too thick could protect themselves.

When they saw the returning team transporting the wounded soldiers, they were first surprised and then happy. The long-suppressed emotions suddenly burst out. It was obvious that they could win the battle if they could transport the wounded soldiers calmly. If the Tartars win, it would be a question whether the Ming army could escape, not to mention transporting the wounded.

Everyone acted quickly, and the entire Yingzhou regarded the resettlement and rescue of the wounded as the most important thing.

Local officials naturally tried their best. After the emperor won such a crucial battle, the general trend of the world became completely clear. With this strong army as a backing, there is no obstacle to the implementation of the new policy implemented in Tianjin and the three border towns. Maybe Datong is the next goal.

Not only those from the Han family like Fang Zhizhou, many aristocratic families have changed their courses afterwards, and they have to follow the trend. Anyway, I have never done anything before. They should not be listed in the target of liquidation. If you work hard now, at least you can save your life. Why bother to go all the way?

The people were much more simple. These soldiers and the emperor drove away the Tartars and saved Yingzhou. It was no exaggeration to be grateful. They gave up the spaciousest and warmest houses, took out the good things they usually couldn't bear to eat, and took care of the wounded in every possible way.

The army stationed in large numbers does not disturb the people, but can fight tough battles. The military appearance and discipline of the Guards have amazed the people. Most of their origins are military households in border towns. For the people of Yingzhou, these young people are just like their own children. The title of soldiers makes them feel very close.

Therefore, when the army returned, the purpose was to work hard to support the army.

He fooled Zhengde so much that he had to fulfill his promise when he arrived in Yingzhou. Xie Hong originally planned to accompany him out immediately, but as soon as he left, he ran into an uninvited guest.

"Jiang Song? Why are you here?" Jiang Song was his first subordinate to the Nanzhen Fushi Office. Later, he led a group of gangs to establish a rights protection department, which specialized in cleaning up those who engage in pirated copies. In addition, he also had debt collection business, and was considered a branch of the Jinyiwei.

"Marty, what you explained before was quite secret, so Admiral Qian assigned the task to his subordinates..." Jiang Song replied respectfully.

"I've told you..." Xie Hongwei was stunned and soon remembered. Isn't Datong's mission just to find the legendary Liu Liangnu? He urged him repeatedly: "Have you found it? Where is the person? Hurry up, invite her here, the emperor..."

Xie Hong is happy. If you have a companion, your second brother can be at least two months of rest? It is best to have a relationship at the beginning, and the honeymoon statement is still very reasonable. If you have a relationship and have sex for two months, your second brother will not care about Jiangnan and you will have time to settle the matter. How great it is.

"Mr...." Jiang Song could squeeze out the water with a bitter face.

This task is very simple, but it is too difficult to execute. The brothers turned Datong into the sky, but they couldn't find the real master. I thought the Marquis had just given orders casually and forgot it over time, but now it seems that the Marquis' expectations are very deep. It is difficult to say that Datong's great function cannot divert the Marquis' attention.

"Have you found it yet?" Xie Hong was very disappointed. Why is it so difficult to find someone? His second brother has arrived in Datong and has also been to Xuanfu. Is it because it is too early? That real master has not yet developed?

"Mr. Marquis, I am here to report to you about Datong..." Seeing Xie Hong's face full of melancholy, how could Jiang Song dare to bother with this topic? He quickly talked about the serious matter.

"Datong?"

"Yes, the settlement fort has changed its banner, and people in Datong City are in panic. As long as the sage arrives, they will definitely surrender."

The activities of Jiang Song and other Jinyiwei in Datong have long fallen into the eyes of the Scholar Party, and even played a certain role in promoting the Jin Party's determination. Otherwise, how could mysticism kill people?

After the final conspiracy was launched, Cui Yan was not polite to the Jinyiwei. He pretended to be a bandit as a robber, and suddenly launched the attack, which immediately brought the Qianhukou in Datong City. Fortunately, Jiang Song and others failed to search in Datong City, they had already dispersed to other places, so they escaped.

Later, the situation changed, and the enemy cavalry suddenly entered Datong territory. Although Jiang Song did not understand the situation, he did not dare to continue wandering in the wild. Therefore, he brought more than a dozen people into the settlement fort. Although Cui Yan was guarding against the enemy, he could not explicitly order the various guards to suppress them. After all, the other side was the emperor's personal army, and he was still worried before the dagger was discovered.

As a result, Jiang Song did not complete his job, but instead found some points in the village fort. After feeling Xie Hong's disappointment, he quickly presented the treasure.

"Yes." Xie Hong pondered slightly. Since this is the case, the Jin Party could not make any tricks. As for whether to quickly advance to Datong...

Before he could come up with something, Zhengde complained unhappily, "Brother, you pointed to the nunnery last time and said it was a monk temple. I won't bother with you, but this time you ignored me. Do you and me have no common language? We have only met once in the past two years. Don't you miss me?"

"Aren't I busy with serious business?" Xie Hong felt a cool breeze blowing on his body. Second brother, what you said is easy to misunderstand.

"What a serious matter? I heard you just now that you were looking for someone." Zhengde asked in the bottom of the question.

"I'm looking for someone," Xie Hong rolled his eyes and pulled Zhengde and said mysteriously: "I heard that Datong is a place with outstanding people, especially girls... Well, they have a broad mind, so I told Admiral Qian and asked him to send someone to find him."

"Have you found it?" Zhengde's eyes lit up.

"Not yet..." Xie Hong shook his head. Seeing Zhengde's face collapse, he quickly remedyed: "But it should be soon. Datong is just such a big place, so it's not easy to find someone? Especially with the obvious characteristics, second brother, don't worry, maybe you will bump into it these days?"

"Well," Zhengde nodded happily, "The mistress said the same thing. As long as you go to the temple to worship more, the wish you made to the meteor a few days ago will be realized soon. General Wen and his wish will be realized. Although their wishes are too simple, your method is still very insightful."

"The whole thing is to rely on the Emperor's great blessing..." Wen He was also helpless. Before the war, who could not pray for victory? Eunuch Gu was smarter and made his wish one step further. He hoped that the chief of the enemy would be awarded the title, which was indeed above himself. That is, you, the strange third old man made his wish, was not adjusted, so it was not realized, right?

"So that's it. No wonder you are in a hurry to fulfill your wish." Wenhe didn't hear Xie Hong's words, so he didn't guess Zhengde's wish, but Xie Hong was like a mirror in his heart. Not only was he anxious, but his second brother was anxious, and he thought about it, who can't be anxious for life?

"Third Dame-in-law, what wish did you make?" The emperor was not anxious, and the eunuchs were anxious, let alone the current situation?

Xie Hong was very curious. The third father-in-law's skill in flattering is still a little worse than Fatty Gu. After all, the latter is a congenital eunuch, and the third father-in-law entered the industry later. Naturally, the proficiency of flattering skills is worse. To talk about the desire to get more itchy than Fatty Gu, could he guess his second brother's thoughts and wish his second brother to solve his personal problems as soon as possible?

"Mr. Marquis, don't ask, I'm embarrassed to say it." The third father-in-law's face turned red with a rare moment. He was so embarrassed that he just refused to come to the real trick.

"Brother, don't ask. San'er's wish is very difficult. Wouldn't it be even more unrealistic if you say something? Let's leave him some hope." Zhengde shook his head deeply, then sighed: "It's better to worship more. If you worship more, it may work."

"Yes, what Master Long lived is saying." The third father-in-law nodded like a chicken, and a long-lost light appeared on his old face.
