1290, Time never defeats beauty

PreviousBack to directoryNext
After one day and one night, the fleet docked at Nanyuan Pier.

The news of Yang Fan's return spread throughout the military camp.

The officers and soldiers all came to kowtow to the commander. They were like a group of motherless children who had seen their own mother, crying and complaining about the grievances they had suffered.

"Uncle, there are treacherous ministers in this court. I won't let the little ones live."

"Commander, you'd better come back and take us."

As Yang Fan walked, he pulled them up and comforted them with gentle words. The soldiers were all good soldiers and the officers were all qualified officers. But the court went too far and chilled the hearts of the soldiers.

Yang Fan asked the female soldiers to take their families through Chaoyang Gate to the Yang Mansion in Shichahai. He went to find Zhang Shize.

This guy was currently in the big tent, drinking and playing skewers, and watching singing and dancing.

Yang Fan was also speechless, this guy is really good, how long has it been, and he still has such a leisurely mind.

"Here we go, take a seat. This is Nuanyulou's singing and dancing troupe. How about it? It's pretty good." Zhang Shize greeted.

"Well, it's really good. I have to say, you have a good eye for women." Yang Fan sat down next to him, pulled out a leg of lamb, and started to chew on it.

"That's it, I dare not say anything else. With the eyes of girls, in these four-nine cities, we are still ranked high."

"It's not an option for you to just let it go. You should go and apologize." Yang Fan took a sip of wine and continued.

"Hey, go to hell. Do whatever you want. Anyway, I have to go home this time." Zhang Shize said with an indifferent expression.

I have to say that although Mr. Zhang was very angry by Dong Jishu and others, he still kept his sense at the last moment. No matter how much trouble he made in the military camp, it was no big deal.

The military camp is like this. Fighting, killing each other, roaring in the camp, etc. happen all the time. Mutinies happen all the time. Because the officers of the Ming Dynasty are too fucked up and don't treat soldiers as human beings.

Although Mr. Zhang fired, he didn't really hit anyone, he just scared them away.

Now that the walls have been repaired, the cement has dried, and the whitewash has been applied, people coming down to investigate can find nothing. Zhang Shize is fine.

On the contrary, it was Dong Jishu who was in trouble. His failure to restrain his subordinates caused the defeated troops to go to Nancheng to cause chaos. This is a serious crime of beheading. I'm afraid he will have no choice but to be imprisoned.

It depends on whether Dong Lin protects him. But if Dong Lin protects him, Xungui will not agree.

The emperor was eager to settle the matter and could not offend Donglin, nor was he willing to continue to irritate the nobles. On the contrary, he felt it was necessary to appease the nobles.

Someone has to be responsible for this.

These few military leaders are all here. Yang Fan returned to Zunhua, it was none of his business.

Zhang Shize is the representative of Xungui, so he can't do anything.

The only choice is to sacrifice Dong Jishu. If it is not enough, then add Zuo Liangyu, who will let him dance happily.

After finishing the meal, we dispersed the dancing ladies so that they could get off work.

Yang Fan rewarded her. She danced really well. It was pleasing to the eye.

I really don’t envy mandarin ducks or immortals, I envy Mr. Zhang every day.

The young ladies happily finished their work and went back. There had long been rumors that Uncle Dingyuan spent a lot of money, but he never came to the brothel to support him. This made them very regretful.

Yang Fan ordered the cavalry from the two regiments and rode towards Yongding Gate with Zhang Shize.

The emperor did not take any more of them from the Beijing camp, and the emperor murmured in his heart, wondering what was happening to these animals now.

As soon as Yang Fan's soldiers entered the city, they immediately shouted with loudspeakers that Uncle Dingyuan had suppressed the ground in accordance with the imperial decree, declared martial law, and arrested all those who took to the streets for no reason. Robbery and crimes were punished on the spot.

As the cavalry quickly rushed to all parts of the south city, gunshots were heard one after another. Those who had no time to run away and the bad guys who took advantage of the situation, except for those who were shot on the spot, were ordered to hold their heads with their hands and kneel on the ground to wait for treatment.

When Yang Fan and Zhang Shize walked to Zhengyang Gate, Nancheng had quickly restored order.

They dismounted in front of the Ming Dynasty Gate, handed over their audience signs, and waited for the emperor to summon them.

They are not qualified to ride horses in the Forbidden City, but Zhang Shize's grandfather is. It is several kilometers from Daming Gate to Qianqing Palace, and you still have to walk in.

Xiao Niangpi and others took the boat directly to the Tonghui River and the moat, disembarked at Chaoyang Gate, and boarded their own motorcade to go to Yang Mansion in Shichahai.

Along the way, I saw many houses burned down, the Royal Guards' tykes were everywhere, and the streets were sparsely populated.

"It seems they didn't bother lightly. I don't know how much our business has been affected." Xiao Niangpi sighed. In fact, she didn't care how many people died in the capital. What she cared about was the Yang family's business.

The capital is the market with the highest consumption power in the Ming Dynasty. It is the trading base of the Yang family. It earns more than three million taels of silver a year. Luxury goods are the most consumed in the two capitals because there are the most wealthy people here.

The reason why Xiao Niangpi supported Yang Fan to come back to quell the chaos was mainly because of Qian'er. Whoever she wanted to vent her anger on could not be angry with Qian.

When I think about the big holes every year, I get anxious and wish I could make more money. Although I don't know where the master's money comes from, I can always rest assured because of the money I make from my business.

Lin Yueru curled her lips, she didn't care about the capital. Since it was not in the hands of her adoptive father's group, the worse they were, the happier she was. In her opinion, this was like a dog biting a dog. They all deserved it.

After the convoy entered Huangcheng North Street, the situation was suddenly different. The place was basically unaffected because there were security guards everywhere. Those owners who had paid property fees realized that the money spent was really worth it.

There are always people here at General Zhengxi's Mansion, responsible for guarding and cleaning. It is kept very well and clean.

Even the plants in the garden are taken care of very well and the lawn is neatly cut.

When several people returned home, they first went to their own rooms, put away boxes and cages, took out their clothes and daily necessities, hugged pillows, and then went to the second bedroom where Yang Fan lived.

They don't want to go back to their own houses. It's easy to go back, but it's not easy to come back to the master's place. They have to live in the master's place.

At night, Yang Fan came back.

The family was chatting about today's events while eating. They were all concerned about how the matter would be resolved.

This chapter is not finished yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "It's not a big deal. Now order has been restored in Nancheng. The defeated soldiers have been gathered outside the city and detained. Everyone has passed the customs to investigate the chaos in the city. Beicheng has also calmed down. There is no fighting anymore. I heard that the two sides are negotiating now." Yang Fan said while eating.

He was really hungry when he came back so late.

The ladies didn't eat, and were waiting for him to come back and eat together. Xiao Niangpi served him a bowl of sea rice and winter melon soup, and gently wiped the rice grains from the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief. She told Yang Fan to eat slowly and not to choke.

Yang Fan has an old habit of gobbling up food, which is a habit developed in the military.

"This matter has caused such a big fuss, someone must be responsible. So many people have died in Donglin. How can they just let it go?" Xiao Niangpi asked.

"Everyone is dead, so what can be done? The murderer can't be caught and has run away long ago. It is said that the nobles are willing to pay compensation privately." After Yang Fan was full, he put down the bowl and took another sip of tea.

"Dong Jishu was imprisoned and said that he was mainly responsible for plotting to cause chaos. Although Zhang Shize was making trouble in the military camp and did not leave the camp, he fired artillery to scare friendly troops and led to the bombing of the camp. He also had some responsibility. He was dismissed.

"

"The others, Zuo Liangyu, who is as powerful as a tiger and as fierce as a tiger, all went home to wait for help."

"The emperor has dispatched the general troops of the four towns to temporarily station in the city. It is estimated that they will be stationed for a while."

The little girl rolled her eyes, as if she was thinking about something.

"Where are you, sir? This time I helped His Majesty again, but he didn't show any sign of it." The young lady asked unwillingly.

The emperor owed Yang Fan a marquis, and he owed her a first-grade lady.

Yang Fan smiled bitterly and said: "What are you thinking about? You can't even pay for your merits at this juncture. If you want to lose the face of the court, how about trading your title?"

Xiao Niangpi asked: "Then what will the emperor do for you?"

"Zhang Shize and I can't let go these two days. We have to stay in power for a few more days. No one but us can hold down the Jingying Camp and half of the Xuanwu Army. We just walked around the streets, watching and waiting.

It will be fine after it calms down completely in two days. Let's go home." Yang Fan said calmly.

Xiao Niangpi felt very strange and asked, "What about Jingying?"

"The emperor has appointed Sun Chengzong as the Prime Minister's Minister for the Reorganization of the Beijing Camp to preside over the reorganization and reorganization of the Beijing Camp. His Majesty means to defeat the 40,000 soldiers and horses of the Beijing Camp, Che Camp, Rumi Gun Camp, the General Soldiers of the Four Towns, and Dong Jishu's troops

They have been dispersed and reorganized. We are recruiting some good family members to add more. The total number has reached 150,000."

Xiao Niangpi was a little disappointed. She didn't expect that the emperor had no intention of using Yang Fan anymore. This time, he used his authority to calm down the chaos. From now on, Jingying and Cheying will have nothing to do with Yang Fan.

"That's fine. If you're not in your position or pursuing political affairs, I'll take a break. From now on, I won't have much to do with their troubles." Xiao Niangpi said with a smile.

"Do you think I care about it? If I hadn't considered messing up the capital this time, I really wouldn't want to care about it."

This is also a good thing, at least I can spend more time with them.

The next day, Yang Fan and Zhang Shize walked around the streets with their soldiers. They had no destination, they just came out to show their faces. They told those who still wanted to cause trouble to think about it.

These two are actually able to control the ground. Yang Fan is famous for his fierceness, and Zhang Shize is also a famous second generation ancestor in the North, a great disaster.

Being unofficial and light-hearted, Yang Fan and Zhang Shize let go. They walked around and tried some delicious food. If there were good things, they bought some and took them home.

To be honest, I have been in Daming for more than two years, and I have yet to really take a good tour of the capital.

The two of them walked to Liubukou Street and saw a group of people walking across the street. This group of people was really strange.

Because the leader was a very tall woman. The others were very short and looked very uncoordinated. These people came from the Hubu Yamen. They should be here to do business.

Yang Fan saw it and smiled. There was actually an old friend.

The woman was very beautiful, she looked to be in her thirties, and she was super tall. Behind her was a man in his twenties or eighties, who was also about 1.8 meters tall. There was also a girl next to him, who was over 1.7 meters tall.

The girl was stunned for a moment when she saw Yang Fan. She randomly showed an expression of surprise.

This girl is actually Zhang Fengyi!

When the woman opposite saw Yang Fan and his group, she was also stunned for a moment. She actually walked straight over.

Zhang Shize, the beast, suddenly became a little nervous, and even straightened his clothes. He respectfully stepped forward and said, "My nephew has met Aunt Qin. Aunt Qin is in good health."

The woman opposite smiled and said, "Fortunately, I can still wield a knife and a gun. Shize, long time no see. You have grown so big. Are you married yet? Do you have a girl you like?"

Yang Fan was stunned for a moment, why did this woman speak so directly? Even if she was familiar with the Zhang family, she didn't ask so directly.

Zhang Shize said a little shyly: "This important matter of marriage, parents' orders, and matchmaker's words are naturally decided by the family. My nephew is waiting."

"It's true that your family's situation is complicated, and you are a British prince, so you must be cautious about marriage. Are your parents in good health?" the woman asked.

"My father and mother are both in good health, but my grandfather keeps getting sick and his health is not as good as before."

"The old man is not young anymore, and some old diseases are normal. Just take good care of him." The woman turned to look at Yang Fan. She seemed a little surprised by Yang Fan's temperament.

Obviously she has experienced the world for a long time and read countless people.

Yang Fan looks to be about the same age as Zhang Shize, but he has the aura of a superior. Although he is wearing casual clothes, he does not look like an ordinary person. He looks like a scholar in Tsing Yi, with a scholarly air, but he exudes the aura of killing.

This kind of person is usually only found in military generals. Only those who often fight will have this kind of evil spirit.

"Shi Ze, is this your friend?" The woman turned around and looked at Yang Fan and asked.

Yang Fan looked carefully and felt that this woman was not simple.

First of all, this person is too tall, more than 1.86 meters tall. She looks like she is in her early thirties. She has almond eyes, peachy cheeks, and a cherry mouth, willow shoulders, thin waist, and long legs. She is a standard traditional Han beauty.

She is obviously a woman, but she is dressed in men's clothing like a scholar. She is holding a sandalwood fan and a Hetian jade pendant in her hand. Behind her are two dark and thick female generals, each carrying an iron sword on their shoulders. The color is dark.

, there is no sheath or blade, and it looks very heavy.

This woman was very tall. Yang Fan had to raise his face to look at her. He felt very oppressive and uncomfortable.

Yang Fan could feel that this woman must have been very beautiful when she was young. Even now, she is very eye-catching. She is not thin, but plump and fat, with a tall frame, and she looks very charming.

She also has a kind of frankness and freedom that is rare in this era. It can be seen from her words.

Yang Fan took the initiative and said, "I, Yang Fan, am Shi Ze's friend."

Since he is Zhang Shize's elder and has met him as his son-nephew, there is nothing wrong with him.

The woman seemed to have heard this name somewhere, and it felt very familiar, but she couldn't remember it for a while. She stared at Yang Fan and thought.

At this time, Zhang Fengyi ran over and said: "Mom, this is Uncle Dingyuan. I call him Brother Yang. He is an old friend of our family."

Yang Fan was shocked. He suddenly knew who the person in front of him was.

He heard from Zhang Wudian and Huo that Zhang Fengyi was married to Qin Liangyu's son Ma Xianglin from her childhood finger. Before Zhang Fengyi was born, she was promised to Qin Liangyu's ten-year-old son as his wife.

At that time, Zhang Quan was presiding over the situation in Liaodong. Qin Liangyu, the chieftain of Shizhu, led troops to help Liao. The two parties became friendly and the marriage was decided.

Then the handsome man in his twenties or eighties behind Qin Liangyu is Zhang Fengyi's fiancé Ma Xianglin.

Their Ma family is the descendant of Fubo General Ma Yuan and Shizhu Chieftain. It can be regarded as a famous family in the southwest.

Yang Fan was surprised that Hua Mulan, who was so famous in history, did not look old. Yang Fan knew all the figures in the late Ming Dynasty in detail. Of course he knew Qin Liangyu.

She was born on the bank of Mingyu River in Fuzhong County, Chongqing in 1574. She is 55 years old this year.
