That night, Wang Xian refused to stay overnight with Zhang Sala, so he went back to Xingyuan to stay for the last night. Xingyuan, what a noble name, but it’s a pity that he will no longer belong to him after tonight... Of course, he will sleep in it for one night as a mark of remembrance. Instructions
After Zhou Yong and Wu Wei packed their bags, Wang Xian came to Zhang Wu's room. Zhang Wu's body had recovered well and he could already walk on the ground with a chair. However, his muscles atrophied severely and he would probably have to go through a period of arduous rehabilitation.
Wang Xian was very familiar with this scene because he had had the same experience. Although the other party was a master of martial arts, he was probably far inferior to him in terms of rehabilitation knowledge. He taught Zhang Wu a set of rehabilitation exercises and treated Zhang Wu as a master every day.
I took the trouble to explain to him the things to pay attention to. Zhang Wu was very surprised and asked, "How do you understand this?"
"I have also experienced such a period." Wang Xian briefly talked about his past, leaving Zhang Wu dumbfounded. After a while, he said: "It's really unexpected that your Excellency has such a legendary experience."
"Haha, you can't believe that a few years ago, I was just a gangster who ignored me." Unlike many people who try their best to cover up their experiences after becoming successful, Wang Xian never hid his past. He laughed while talking.
He said: "Brother, the most important thing is to be with the right person. If I hadn't been appreciated by the prince, I would still be a gangster now." This was actually over. Before he took the line of Zhu Zhanji, he had already achieved the transition from civilian to official.
Then he jumped to the third level. Naturally, he had a purpose for saying this...
"My lord, there is something in what you are saying..." Zhang Wu really understood and said with a bitter smile: "Who would take in a bandit like me who only has half his life left?"
"Then why am I talking nonsense to you?" Wang Xian rolled his eyes and said sternly: "A hero should not ask about his origins. I think your brother Zhang Wu is a good man who is affectionate, righteous, courageous and resourceful. I want to give you a hand, but I don't know what you are doing."
how about?
"This..." Zhang Wu thought in his heart. He knew that Wang Xian wanted to make him his personal servant. This was actually more reliable than accepting the imperial court's recruitment, because he would get his protection, so at least his future safety would be guaranteed. And it would be safe anytime.
Because Wang Xian held a high position and had great power, he did not want the power in his hands to be usurped by the subordinate officials allocated to him by the court, so he assigned it to his personal subordinates.
Wu Wei, who Wang Xian relies on the most, is such a character. Although he has no grades, he actually has more power than anyone under him... With Zhang Wu's current situation, it is naturally a dream to gain Wang Xian's trust.
But he was cautious by nature and could not open his mouth to agree, "I am wrongly loved by you, so what does it matter if Zhang Wu sells his life to you? I just don't know how your lord is going to arrange it for my eldest brother and all the brothers?"
Wang Xian knew that with Zhang Wu's temperament, he would not live alone if Liu Zijin and his brothers did not find a good home. "His Royal Highness Taisun has asked the emperor for instructions to eliminate only the chief culprits and leave the rest alone. Those who are willing to join the army will be included in the army."
, Those who are unwilling to join the army will be given travel expenses and sent back to their hometowns." He said with a smile: "It's a good time for them. The imperial court has gone through two fierce battles in Mobei and Annan, and its troops have been greatly depleted. All armies are in urgent need of replenishing their troops...
…”
Zhang Wu frowned but did not relax, "Who is the culprit?"
"Liu Zijin and Yu Gui," Wang Xian said slowly, "but Liu Zijin will commit suicide midway out of fear of crime..."
"How are you going to arrange for him?" Zhang Wu knew that the so-called suicide due to fear of crime should be a trick like Li Daitao's death. Since no one wants to see Liu Zi enter Beijing, this should be a result acceptable to all parties...
"Do you know the Zheng family in Zhengzhai Town?" Wang Xian asked.
"I know, the first family in Jiangnan. It is said that the town was reduced to ashes overnight and the whole family disappeared without a trace. It is rumored that they were massacred by the emperor." Zhang Wudao.
"They did not die, but went to Nanyang." Wang Xian said lightly: "I was working as a pawnbroker in Pujiang at that time." The latter sentence is to prove the previous sentence.
"It turns out that the emperor is not as murderous as the rumors say..." Zhang Wu said a little surprised. He didn't realize that he had begun to subconsciously clear the emperor's name. This was a sign that he was preparing to go to sea.
Wang Xian laughed and said nothing. He had no interest in clearing Zhu Di's name. If Zhou Xin hadn't taken the risk of forging military orders, the Zheng family would have been reduced to rubbish by the Zhejiang Navy.
"Sir, you want my eldest brother to go to Nanyang?" Zhang Wu calmed down and returned to the topic.
"Yes. In fact, it's okay to go to the East, but there are too few Chinese people in Korea and Japan. It's better to go to Nanyang. At least you can meet compatriots with the same culture and race wherever you go." Wang Xiandao. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, a large number of Chinese people went to Nanyang to escape the chaos.
Especially the remaining troops of Zhang Shicheng and Chen Youliang, who later competed with Zhu Yuanzhang, and their dependents numbered hundreds of thousands of people. At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang did not even go to sea and imposed a strict maritime ban. Later, Zhu Di formed an invincible fleet to sail to the West. In fact, all of these were targeted.
The meaning of abandoning the people of Nanyang is that Zheng He frequently fought with Nanyang pirates during his previous voyages to the West, and wiped out all the large groups. From then on, there was no more Chinese influence in Nanyang, and the Ming Emperor could finally sleep peacefully.
But those Chinese people living abroad have completely lost their asylum.
Wang Xian always wanted to send cohesive families like the Zheng family, Liu Zijin, or bandit leaders to Nanyang. One of the reasons was that he hoped that they could establish a foundation there and provide shelter for the Chinese there... He even often thought that if he were in
If we can no longer survive in the Central Plains, we will take our brothers to Nanyang to seize an island country and establish our own world. Wouldn't it be better than suffering the arrogance of those emperors and princes in the Central Plains? Of course, it is easy to think about this kind of thing, but I really want to put it into action.
But as the old saying goes, it's hard to leave the soil. It's really difficult.
Shaking his head and getting rid of these thoughts, Wang Xian looked at Zhang Wudao: "If you want to reunite with him, you can wait for him to hide in Nanyang for a few years and then come back with a different identity. Who still knows him?"
"It all depends on your arrangements." Zhang Wu nodded, pushed himself to the ground, knelt down on one knee to Wang Xian and said, "Thank you for your kindness, and I am willing to serve you as a dog and horse."
"Haha, great..." Wang Xian pulled him up and said: "From now on, we are brothers of life and death who share weal and woe. We share blessings and hardships. I, Wang Xian, will never let you drink what I have eaten.
"thin"
Zhang Wu is so sweaty, how can he be a big shot accepting retainers? It's obvious that they are just copycats, but it's okay, so you don't have to worry about being out of tune with this group of people.
"How is your health?" Wang Xian considered whether he should sleep in the same bed as Zhang Wu tonight to express his respect. Later, it was too disgusting to think about it, so he had to find another way.
"To be honest, it's much better." Zhang Wudao said: "I just feel weak all the time. This is really annoying.
"Didn't I just say that?" Wang Xiandao said: "You have to recover, take your time, don't rush. If you insist on rehabilitation, you will be able to recover by the summer."
"I still have to eat for half a year..." Zhang Wu smiled bitterly and said, "My lord, this business is a big loss."
"The days are long, and my business will make a huge profit." Wang Xian laughed and said: "I am going back to Beijing tomorrow, and I am in a hurry. You are in a hurry. You may not be able to bear it. You might as well spend some time and follow His Highness Taisun back to Beijing."
"Sir, I have a heartfelt request..." Zhang Wu said a little embarrassedly. Normally, he had just changed his identity, so what he said was a bit inappropriate.
"I know what you want to say, go ahead." Wang Xian said thoughtfully, "I feel completely relieved to have you in Guangling County."
"Thank you, sir." Zhang Wu actually felt a little bit like "A scholar will die for his confidant," and his blood surged up as he said, "Don't worry, sir, settle down the brothers. I will go to Beijing immediately to report to you."
"Well, please pay more attention to your health." Wang Xian nodded. He told him to be careful, then took out a paper bag from his sleeve and said with a smile: "This is for when you insist on leaving, but
Now you can use it too."
Zhang Wu took the bag and opened it. He saw a complete set of identity certificates, five hundred taels of gold notes, and large banknotes. He couldn't help but be stunned... The things inside could change his name.
Change your surname, buy land and property in Jiangnan, and live a comfortable life.
Zhang Wu's eyes couldn't help but moisten. He rubbed his sore nose and took out the money and gave it back to Wang Xian. Wang Xian pushed it back to him and said, "I just said that we share the blessings and the hardships together. Just follow me."
You don’t regard me as a brother, do you?”
"This..." Zhang Wu didn't care whether he took it or not, he was at a loss with a grimace.
"Take it, I'll do some favors for your old brothers. This little money may not be enough. But it doesn't matter. I'll ask Wu Wei to give it to you later..." Wang Xian laughed and left his house. This trip to Shanxi
Apart from anything else, His Highness the King of Jin suffered from bleeding twice, which made his pockets burst. He felt really regretful if he didn't show it for fun.
When passing by Erhei's room, Wang Xian saw that there was a light on inside. It was early for people to go to bed at this time. According to this time, this guy should have gone to bed long ago. Wang Xian opened the door and went in, only to see him lying on the bed with all his clothes on, in a daze.
Woolen cloth.
"You worthless thing." When Wang Xian saw what he looked like, he became very angry and cursed: "Now you are also a sixth-grade military attache with great wealth. When you return to the capital, you will be flat and round.
Square, what kind of woman wouldn't you choose? Why do you have to..." He wanted to say pick up someone else's worn-out shoes, but this was too hurtful, so he changed it to, "How about unrequited love for a flower?
"I think it's more civilized now... but I'm really upset.
"I thought the same way when I was in Guangling," Erhei, who had been hanging around too much with Xu Huaiqing and his gang of Yankees, also kept talking about "I, I," and said depressedly, "But when I came back and saw Miss Long, my heart suddenly changed.
It's so up and down, what do you think we should do?"
"It's simple. When she goes back to Zhengzhou, you go to the capital, and each of you looks for her mother. Then your brothers will find you another one. If you don't find ten girls who are prettier than her, you won't have time to think about her." Wang Xian crackled.
, blew out the light and said: "Go to bed quickly, we have to travel tomorrow, be careful if you fall asleep on the horse, how can you find a wife if you fall into a cripple?"
"Oh." Erhei responded vaguely and covered his head with the quilt. Wang Xian looked at him and shook his head helplessly. A full man doesn't understand the hunger of a hungry man.
