The uncle of the state, Zhang Guojun, arrived by boat, and on board was the imperial concubine Zhang.
Zhu Yihai was surprised when he saw Zhang.
"We said goodbye to Taizhou that day, and in the blink of an eye, we have been apart for several months. I have been looking forward to you day and night in Taizhou, but I have not seen you return. I heard that His Highness returned south, so I rushed to Shaoxing. Unexpectedly, His Highness came to Yanzhou again, so I sent Brother Yang to send me hope.
Your Highness, I apologize, but I have been separated from Your Highness for too long, and I miss you so much that I become ill."
Hearing Concubine Zhang's soft words and the shedding tears, Zhu Yihai could only smile bitterly. She believed that Concubine Zhang must also know about his appointment with Ermeng and Erhuang in Sanwu, and probably even Xiao Huang
Ji is already pregnant, I'm afraid she knows about it.
Now that Zhang Guojun is sending people here in a hurry, his intention to compete for favor is obvious.
However, looking at his demeanor, Zhu Yihai also felt guilty. He had been gone for more than two months. In such a turbulent situation, it was indeed not easy for a young woman.
She stretched out her hand to wipe away his tears, but as soon as he wiped them away, Concubine Zhang's tears couldn't stop falling, like a broken bead curtain.
Zhu Yihai had no choice but to reach out and take her into his arms. Concubine Zhang's body became a little stiff, and then she slowly leaned into his arms.
"I beg you to retire." Zhang Guojun stepped back knowing he was interested.
Concubine Zhang came to meet her husband, so she was naturally not lonely that night.
One is willing to serve, the other wants to compensate, so they are like fish and water, like paint and glue, very loving.
The next day, he slept until three o'clock in the morning before Zhu Yihai woke up.
Concubine Zhang's face was full of spring and charm, and she dressed Zhu Yihai with a shy look.
"When will Your Highness let me meet Meng Ji, Huang Ji and the others?"
"They should be in Shaoxing now. You can see them when you go back."
"Your Highness, please do not drive me away. I would like to stay with Your Highness for a while longer."
Zhu Yihai put on her clothes, bent down and kissed her, "If you want to stay, you can stay a little longer. The scenery here is quite beautiful. I'll ask Guo Jun to lead some guards."
After bidding farewell to the somewhat clingy Concubine Zhang, Zhu Yihai went to meet the ministers.
He proposed a development direction, but the specific implementation depends on the cabinet ministers. This is also the time to test the team's execution ability. It is impossible to have a good plan without execution ability.
Fortunately, after Zhu Yihai's soul questioning yesterday, and the fact that Chen Meng was dismissed on the spot, these cabinet ministers have figured it out and are ready for today.
Sitting there and listening to their advice and suggestions, Zhu Yihai was very satisfied.
The meeting lasted until noon, and the discussion continued after the meal was served.
At dusk, Zhu Shengli reported that many gentry had arrived and wanted to petition the emperor, hoping that the gentry would be given preferential treatment and the harvest would be settled.
"Ignore it."
"Your Highness, we have discovered that some people in the city are conspiring to incite the Ministry of National Security to cause trouble." Chen Qianfu reported secretly.
Fang Guoan's troops in various places have basically been disarmed and are undergoing reorganization. There are tens of thousands of troops in various places, and it will not be easy to reorganize and demobilize them in a while.
"Who is so bold?"
"Some reckless local gentry want to use those members of the Fang National Security Bureau to cause trouble, and then force His Highness to take back his life."
"They really dare to think and do it. How do they control these people?"
"As long as His Highness gives the order, I guarantee that we can catch them all."
Zhu Yihai smiled and said, "Don't be impatient yet. Let the arrows fly for a while and let them perform. Just keep an eye on them. Don't be alarmed. A good show is yet to come."
Those guys were so desperate that they dared to plan such a thing. However, their rank was too low and they wanted Fang Guoan's soldiers to be the scapegoats. They would benefit from behind the scenes, but they didn't even think about what would happen if Zhu Yihai dared to make such a big move here.
Not prepared at all?
He is not an ordinary prisoner. He has just returned from the Northern Expedition of Sanwu and brought thousands of troops with him.
Ever since he decided to kill Fang Guoan and then clean up Yanzhou Mansion, Chen Qianfu had already kept an eye on everyone. Their little actions were not secret at all.
"Are Fang Yuanke and other generals involved?"
"They are under house arrest and have no chance to contact those people. Your Highness, they cannot always be locked up. How to deal with them?"
The officers under Fang Guoan's command range from Yuan Kemahan, the commander-in-chief, to Fang Renlong, etc. There are a total of thirteen commander-in-chief, deputy generals, generals, guerrillas, and more than one hundred officers.
As for the generals, generals, and generals, there are even more.
This also shows some of Fang Guoan's ambition and arrogance. He himself is just a general military officer, but he appointed thirteen general military officers, deputy generals and more than a hundred guerrillas. These were all appointed by him.
, and then just sent a notice to Shaoxing Xingzai.
The seals and so on were all engraved by myself.
Anyway, it's totally a warlord style.
Fang Yuanke and other generals and officers were basically his subordinates who had followed Fang Guoan in the southern expedition for many years. To be honest, they were all experienced officers.
However, the imprint of Guoan on these people is too deep, and their behavior is completely different from that of Fang Guoan.
It would be a pity to kill him.
Leave it useless.
On the contrary, it has become useless. I can’t put it away for the time being, so I can only keep it for now.
At this time, Zhu Yihai was more and more glad that after raising the flag, he did not stay in Taizhou, or go to Shaoxing, but traveled around, even went to the north to Sanwu. If he had stayed in Taizhou and became a prisoner, then
Now he doesn't have the confidence to face Fang Guoan like that.
Even if you are lucky enough to kill Fang Guoan for a while, you may have to try your best to appease or even reward his tens of thousands of subordinates, and then win them over for your own use.
After all, in times of trouble, more soldiers and horses means more strength.
Fortunately, he now has a more reliable imperial army under his command. Although there are many new recruits among them, after all, he raised this army single-handedly, so he can completely ignore Fang Guoan and Fang Guoan's generals.
.
He could also calmly arrange for the disbandment of the various rebel armies along the Qiantang River.
suburbs.
Liu Mu, the chief military officer of Warrior Town, was wielding a large sword weighing more than 100 kilograms with his bare arms to practice his strength. Although this heavy sword is not his weapon in battle, it is very good for polishing his strength in his hands.
But it can make flowers dance.
After finishing the broadsword dance, Liu Mu put away the sword.
"Father!"
After taking a shower and changing into his clothes, Liu Zhaoji and his brothers were already waiting for him.
The third master sat and chatted for a while, while Liu Mu was thoughtful.
"It seems that we are lucky to have encountered the situation of supervising the country and killing Fang Guoan in Fuyang, otherwise we might not have been able to escape the consequences of being reorganized or dismissed."
"Do we really want to send all the rebels away?"
Liu Mu clenched his fists and said, "What a rebel army? They are just a ragtag group of people. Just like the battalion recruited by Miao Faxin, they have never won a battle, never lost an escape, and have never fallen behind in looting. What do you think of this so-called rebel army?"
What's the use? Not to mention that the prison country doesn't look down on it, I don't look down on it either."
The people recruited by the Liu family were mainly members of the Liu clan, and then Liu Mu's relatives, friends, disciples, and old troops. He himself had served as the deputy general of the army, so he was stricter in managing his subordinates. Although it was inevitable to collect food and pay, it was still easier.
When it comes to looting and looting, let alone fighting, the Liu family's soldiers can still fight and dare to charge.
"His Royal Highness will transfer you to Qianniu Town, you must work hard and serve."
"Father, don't worry, Qianniu Town is newly built, and we can be considered the backbone."
Liu Mu is now the commander-in-chief of Yuying Warrior Town. Both of his sons have been transferred to serve in Qianniu Town of Yuying. They have also been awarded Qianniu Swords and are guards of the Supervisor. This is a good thing. It shows that the Supervisor trusts their father and son. Otherwise, how would they have done it?
This opportunity.
"I heard that Zhang Mingzhen served his country with all his heart because of his backstabbing. As a result, he won the trust of the prison country. Now he has been appointed as the governor of Liangjiang and granted the title of Zhendong Bo. Mr. Zhang is a role model for our generation."
When Zhang Mingzhen was working as a guerrilla in Shipu, he was the deputy general of the Yingtian Navy. Now Zhang Mingzhen is the admiral of Liangjiang, Zhendong Bo, and the minister of the Ministry of War. It is said that he is the most trusted right-hand man in the army.
"Damn it, it's just tattooing. What's the point? I can do it too. Find someone who knows how to tattoo and tattoo it for me. You two will do it too."
Liu Mu was slightly unconvinced. He and Zhang Mingzhen were actually old friends. After all, they were both from the south of the Yangtze River. Later, they worked together in the capital. He was admitted as the top martial arts scholar in Beijing, and Zhang Mingzhen also made a fortune in the capital camp. But now,
It's far less than that.
Liu Mu's personal soldiers immediately went to find someone to tattoo for him. In the late Ming Dynasty, people also liked tattoos, especially those young knights and gangsters. If they didn't get tattoos, how could they be in the world of martial arts?
mix.
Therefore, there are many shops specializing in tattoos all over the country.
"Give me a tattoo, tattoo the four characters "Kill the Thief with a Heart."
The man was very skilled in craftsmanship, and soon he had four big characters tattooed on Liu Mu's back, which read, "Kill the thief with all your heart." It was very big and domineering.
Liu Mu looked at the mirror and looked at it, "Well, it's good, but I can't bare my back every day. Won't others be able to see it when I put on clothes? Give me a tattoo on my face too."
"Dad, the tattoos on the face are those of prisoners from the Song Dynasty who were exiled to the army."
"Fuck you, you little brat. You're worthy of being sent to the army. I'm happy to do it. Just give it to me."
After having the words "kill thieves with a sincere heart" tattooed on his face, he still felt a little dissatisfied.
"Isn't there still a lot of free time, stabman!"
The assassin's hand shook.
"Junmen, are you still stabbing?"
"Prick, tattoo a character for one penny."
"Get it right!"
The tattooist became excited now and applied the needles very quickly, fearing that Liu Mu would regret it. After a while, Liu Mu had already tattooed one hundred and eight "kill" characters on his face, which were densely packed.
Coupled with the four big murderous thieves on the left face, the face is very unique and unique. Both Liu Zhaoji brothers couldn't bear to see it, but they didn't dare to say anything more. When they were young, they practiced martial arts and were beaten by their father.
Some psychological shadow.
Liu Mu looked at the bronze mirror and was very satisfied.
Open your mouth and say reward.
"Wait a minute, the lips are still empty, tattoo them for me too!"
"Okay!" The assassin was very positive.
Liu Zhaoji and his brother were speechless as they watched their father turn into a weirdo with a face full of words.
"Get tattoos on them too!"
"The eldest brother will be tattooed with the word "loyalty" and the second child will be tattooed with the word "righteousness".
The two brothers Liu Zhaoji did not dare to object, so they were forced to sit there. First, their faces were tattooed with the four characters "Kill the Thieves with a Heart," and then they were tattooed with 108 loyal characters. Liu Zhaoxiang's face was tattooed with another 108 characters.
meaning word.
There are three brothers, one is killing, the other is loyal, and the other is righteous.
"Well, it's pretty good. Isn't it better than Zhang Mingzhen's?"
Liu Mu was very satisfied.
Then he looked at the servants at the door and waved.
"Stab them all too."
The tattooer's hands were soft and trembling slightly, but his heart was extremely excited. One word was one tael. How much money did he earn today? The third man tattooed more than 300 words, which was more than 30 taels.
Liu Mu finally tattooed all his servants, but as this was not enough, he asked the tattoo artist to tattoo all his wives and concubines as well. They were so frightened that their faces turned pale.
Finally, after begging in every possible way, Liu Mu allowed him to tattoo only the word "loyalty" on his arm.
"What else is missing!"
Liu Mu looked left and right.
"Tab the backs of both my ears. The left ear is pierced and I forget about home and country when I go out. The right ear is pierced when I am in battle and I forget to die. My son and my servants are all pierced like this!"
The tattooist finally left with one hundred taels of silver. Although he wanted to tell Liu Mu that he had received more than three hundred taels of silver in total, looking at the room full of tattooed shirtless men, he still held back and held two taels of silver.
A big ingot and run away quickly.
Liu Mu looked left and right in the mirror, feeling very satisfied, regardless of the burning pain in his skin after the new prick, "Son, come with me to pay homage to the Imperial Highness!"
"Dad, wouldn't this be too obvious?"
"Yes, will we be laughed at for imitating others?"
Liu Mu said, "You know nothing. Loyalty has to be shown. His Highness trusts us father and son so much, so why don't we show it too hard? Go ask the Supervisor if we need those of Fang Guoan's subordinates.
All the remaining officers were trapped and killed."
