Chapter 391
August [-]th is approaching the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is a day for reunion. Families gather together to worship the moon god and eat moon cakes. Many businessmen who are doing business abroad will rush home to reunite with their families as long as they have time.

But today in Quanzhou, I don't know how many families cannot enjoy the joy of reunion.

On the north side of Quanzhou Bay, a few miles to the north of Jinjiang No. [-] Salt Field, there are few people.

At the hour of the hour, the golden scales swayed endless light and heat, and the two battalions consisted of a thousand soldiers and two hundred auxiliary soldiers, one after another boarded the new warships docked on the pier.

Twenty feet long, the widest part of the hull can reach four feet.

Wang Zhong and Zhizhou Chen Jun came to see them off in person, and after saying some exciting and morale-boosting words, Gu Er and a group of soldiers had a farewell drink, and watched Gu Er lead a group of soldiers board the warship, Chen Jun, who had no idea in his heart, couldn't help looking at Wang Zhong who was beside him.

"Brother Zihou, if we fight so hard, can we really wipe out those pirates?"

Wang Zhong looked at Chen Jun with a smile and said, "Minggong Mingjian, as long as the sea trade exists, pirates will never be eradicated. Who doesn't want to do business without capital?"

"Hey!" Chen Jun sighed, and said helplessly, "People's hearts!"

Wang Zhongdao: "That's why we want to promote education."

Chen Jun closed his eyes, shook his head with a bitter smile.

As time passed day by day, several good news came from Gu Er's side one after another. However, within seven or eight days, two groups of pirates had been completely wiped out, and no one knew how much loot was captured.

Zhizhou Chen Jun's face was full of joy, compared with the contrast before the army set off, it was not insignificant.

But the most important thing is that the maritime merchants in Quanzhou knew that the government sent troops to the sea to hunt down the pirates, and the cloud that had been hanging on their faces gradually disappeared. Although they also knew that there was no way to completely eradicate pirates. But what they want is the attitude of the government. If the government can wipe out a group, they will take less risk.

When Gu Er led the army back, it was late September, almost October.

Out of a thousand soldiers, nearly a hundred were lost, and more than a hundred were injured. The main reason was that many soldiers were enlisted in the army for the first time, had no experience, and the pirates were extremely ferocious.

However, the results of the battle were very gratifying. Eight gangs of pirates were wiped out, more than [-] thieves were killed, and more than [-] people were captured. There were also nearly a thousand pirates' families, women and children, occupying a total of six large and small islands. opened a sea route to and from Ryukyu.

Looking at the ashes of the fallen soldiers piled up in front of him, Wang Zhong felt a little heavy: "Order, this time the fallen soldiers will receive double the pension, two years of tax exemption, and one of their children can choose to be sent to school for two years. Within the period, all repairs will be exempted."

"Judgment to Gao Yi!" All the soldiers shouted at Wang Zhong.

Wang Zhong looked at the crowd and said: "These soldiers are all heroes who sacrificed their lives for the country. Naturally, the imperial court will not treat them badly, and so will you."

Zhizhou Chen Jun brought over a dozen pigs and sheep, and specially invited the chef from Taibai Tower to cook for the soldiers and reward the three armies.

Soldiers go through life and death at sea, fighting pirates, all they want is wealth!
The seizures from the pirates' lairs were piled up into a hill. The military clerks had already recorded the military achievements of the soldiers. Chen Jun personally led the people, and according to the achievements recorded in the list, they were converted into gold, silver and copper coins and distributed to the subordinates. sergeant.

The seizures on the battlefield, plus the rewards issued at this time, were enough for the soldiers below to buy a few acres of paddy fields, build a new house, and beg for a wife.

"Chen Sanshui, the second and fifth team of the first battalion!" the clerk held the booklet and shouted loudly.

"To!"

Chen Sanshui immediately stood up from the team.

"Behead the sixth level, ascend twice first, and capture a pirate leader! Is there any mistake or omission?" The scribe looked at Chen Sanshui and asked.

The corners of Chen Sanshui's smile almost reached his ears: "There are no mistakes or omissions!"

"A reward of 30 taels of silver, [-] guan of copper coins, promotion to deputy capital! Do you have any objections?"

"No objection! No objection! Thank you, my lord! Thank you, my lord!" Chen Sanshui hurriedly cupped his hands in thanks, with a brighter smile on his face.

"If you want to thank, thank Zhizhou, thank Tongjuan, thank our general!"

"Yes Yes Yes!"

"Okay, let's get the reward!"

Chen Sanshui walked to the side, and there were already officers in the army who had collected a thousand rewards. The 30 taels of silver were all broken silver, which was not much and could be stored in a bag, but there were a lot of copper coins in a hundred taels. Use a big bamboo basket to put it in, and a saber for the vice capital.

Not to mention anything else, just the whole basket of copper coins, the sergeants next to him looked envious and their eyes lit up.

The meritorious deeds and rewards are still going on, those soldiers who unfortunately died in battle, their military achievements are also read out in front of all the soldiers, once the rewards are awarded, people from the law enforcement team in the army will send them to the dead soldiers at home.

After such an operation, these township warriors returned to their hearts, and they all mustered up their strength, looking forward to the next expedition.

On the same day, Zhizhou Chen Jun held a banquet in Taibai Tower to celebrate the triumphant return of the generals above Yuhou in the army.

Gu Er, the leader of the army, was also the biggest contributor to this great victory, and naturally he was highly praised by the prefect Chen Jun.

"The general employs soldiers like a god. Chen admires them. Tongpan and I have already submitted a petition to the court to ask for credit for General Gu. I believe there will be rewards in the near future."

The more Chen Jun looked at Gu Er, the more satisfied he became.

Wang Chong echoed with a smile: "Zhonghuai is a thousand-mile horse, and Minggong is Bole. There are not a few talented people in the world, but if there is no Minggong's insight to recognize talents and trust Zhonghuai so much, how can Zhonghuai show off?" The opportunity of the director?"

"What Zi Hou said is very true. If there is no guidance and full support from Ming Gong, how can he be dismissed from office today!" Although he has not experienced any changes in the Gu family, Gu Er is no longer the old Gu Er with his eyes high above the top and his heart proud. Erlang.

Beheading hundreds and capturing more than a thousand people, this is no small matter, and Gu Er is still the second son of the Ningyuan Houfu. Among the nobles, he can be regarded as the top group. His father, Marquis Ning Yuan, has served the imperial court for more than ten years on the frontier, and he has worked hard and made great achievements. The Gu family's influence in the army is not small.

Chen Jun has also heard some of the absurd things about Gu Er, but he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with it. It's all about vindictiveness, and there is no overnight hatred between father and son.

Now that Gu Er came to Quanzhou to join the army alone, he was a prodigal son who turned his back on his past mistakes, and now that he has made such military exploits, and with Wang Zhong's face, Chen Jun is naturally happy to recommend Gu Er.

Why not make a good relationship with the Ningyuan Hou Mansion?
After pushing the cups and changing the cups, during the banquet, there were singers singing, musicians playing the piano, and dancers performing dances. Although it looked a little corrupt, it also presented a scene where the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves and enjoyed themselves harmoniously.

In the northwest of Quanzhou, thousands of miles away, in Bianjing City, in the imperial city, the papers from the princes in the imperial court requesting for the establishment of the reserve are piled up on the table every day, which makes Emperor Jiayou very upset. Emperor Jiayou, who was famous for his political affairs, didn't even bother to read the memorial now.

"Your Majesty! There is a good report from Quanzhou. Do you want to review it?"

Emperor Jiayou looked at Li Neiguan, who was standing sideways, and was puzzled, so he couldn't help asking: "Quanzhou? Where is the good news from Quanzhou?"

Li Neiguan smiled and said: "A few days ago, Quanzhou Zhizhou wrote a letter saying that pirates attacked passing ships in the coastal area, killing people and robbing goods. Many people have suffered disasters. Quanzhou Zhizhou Chen Jun and Quanzhou Tongju Wang Zhong unanimously decided to send troops Kill the pirates."

"So you won the battle?" Emperor Jiayou raised his brows slightly, and his frown that had been frowning all day finally relaxed a bit.

"According to the investigation report from the Secretary of the Imperial City, the battle was indeed won, and it was a big victory!" Li Neiguan had a good sense of proportion, and only said that it was the news obtained by the Secretary of the Imperial City, but did not mention the content of the memorial. .

It's not that Emperor Jiayou was ignorant of the fact that a country without a crown prince would inevitably be in turmoil, but when it came to choosing who would inherit the throne, Emperor Jiayou really had a difficult time. As the king of a country, what he had to consider was the succession of the throne , not a small family of the people chooses an heir, but chooses an heir for the entire dynasty, chooses a monarch for the whole world, and for the people of the world.

If he was a little careless and chose the wrong person, what would he bring to the people of the world and the Zhao Song Dynasty? Emperor Jiayou didn't dare to show it at all.

In the history books, there are many examples of the emperor's stupidity, which is why Emperor Jiayou was so entangled and couldn't make a decision for a long time.

In addition, there is another reason, that is, among the children of the clan, there is not a single character and virtue that can completely reassure Emperor Jiayou, and now the two most popular princes in Tokyo.

One is King Yong, who is greedy for flowers and lust, and has no opinions, and Princess Yong is arrogant and domineering, which is no longer a day's work.

One is King Yan, who is ambitious and over-the-top, and secretly recruited countless courtiers. The key point is that King Yan has a violent temper, which Emperor Jiayou really didn't like.

Recently, there have been rebels in the land of Huaihe River and Huaihe River, and there is still a lot of noise. It is during this eventful autumn, but a group of important officials in the court headed by Grand Minister Han Zhang are also pressing hard on Emperor Jiayou. Now it is not easy There came a memorial with no news about Li Chu, but it was still good news. Emperor Jiayou's tense heart could finally relax a bit.

"I want to see what kind of victory it is!"

Li Neiguan found the memorial and handed it to Emperor Jiayou. Emperor Jiayou opened the memorial and read it patiently, but after reading it for a while, his brows frowned again.

"When did Erlang of Ningyuan Hou Gu's family go to Quanzhou? Why did he become the temporary Quanzhou Military Superintendent?" Emperor Jiayou couldn't help but look at Li Neiguan next to him.

Li Neiguan said: "Returning to Your Majesty, Gu Erlang fell out with his family not long after he failed the imperial examination. I heard that he left Bianjing out of anger. Never looking back at home, after the Second Young Master Gu left Beijing, he went straight to Quanzhou. First, he was recommended by Wang Tongpan to train Xiangyong in Quanzhou. Later, when Quanzhou sent troops to wipe out the pirates, Wang Tongpan recommended him to Chen Jun, the magistrate of the state. Commander-in-Chief."

Li Neiguan knew very well that Yang Wuduan's matter was Emperor Jiayou's rebellion. Gu Tingye, a dignified second son from the Ningyuan Hou's mansion, touched Emperor Jiayou's heart because of a sentence he said for Yang Wuduan when he was young. Ni Lin, the Ni Lin of the dragon, is angry when touched, Gu Tingye also fell off the list because of this, and Emperor Jiayou Jinkouyu said that he would be the same as Yang Wuduan, and take the exam after 50 years old.

"He's a rich dude, yet he can command troops to fight?" Emperor Jiayou obviously had a prejudice against Gu Er.

Li Neiguan said: "According to the investigation report of the Imperial City Division, this time to suppress the pirates, Mr. Gu's command was determined, he predicted the enemy like a god, and he made a series of surprise schemes. This is how he won the victory."

Just after Emperor Jiayou finished speaking, he realized that he was somewhat prejudiced, and he regretted it a bit, but the words were out of his mouth, so naturally it was impossible to take them back. Now that he heard what Li Neiguan said, the expression on his face changed a little, He nodded and said: "So, this Gu Erlang has inherited Gu Hou's ability to lead troops to fight."

Li Neiguan said: "The Marquis of Ningyuan has served in the army for generations, and has lived and died for the court. Gu Houye also guarded the border for more than ten years in his early years. The eldest son of the Gu family was weak and sick since he was a child. I heard that the second son of Gu is the Gu family. Among the children of this generation, he is the only one who has received the art of martial arts from Gu Hou himself!"

Li Neiguan knew that it was not suitable for him to express his opinion, so he just told Emperor Jiayou verbatim what he knew.

"Hey!" Emperor Jiayou sighed, looking at the memorial for Gu Er's credit with some cloudy eyes, "Leading a group of brave men who have never been on the battlefield, beheading more than 360 levels, and capturing pirate youths There are more than seven hundred strong people, more than a thousand women and children, old and weak, and only a few hundred people lost by myself, so there is indeed some ability!"

"Your Majesty, there is another letter handed over by Wang Tongpan. Would you like to take a look at it?" Li Neiguan said suddenly.

"Anything else?" Emperor Jiayou was a little puzzled: "Take a look."

Li Neiguan hurriedly took a memorial without getting up and handed it to Emperor Jiayou.

Wang Zhong's memorial was not many words, first he was concerned about Emperor Jiayou's body, and then he said that although he was far away in Quanzhou, he also heard that there were rebels in the two Huaihe Rivers recently, saying that Emperor Jiayou had the virtues of Yao and Shun With the whole world in mind, lest Emperor Jiayou worry about the people in Lianghuai and hurt his body, he recommends Gu Tingye, who has changed his past and acted as the temporary governor of Quanzhou, to help put down the rebellion. I hope Emperor Jiayou can give Gu Tingye a service to the court. Chance.

After watching it, Emperor Jiayou couldn't help showing a smile on his face, pointed to Zhezi and said: "This prince is thick, he is afraid that I will have a grudge against Gu Erlang, so he deliberately praised me first in the memorial, saying that I have a broad mind, Derby Yao and Shun..."

As he spoke, he couldn't help shaking his head and said: "After all, he's still young, his thoughts are written between the lines, I'm afraid I won't be able to see it!"

Li Neiguan said: "Wang Tong judged that he was a successful young man with amazing talent, but without the precepts and deeds of his close elders, it is inevitable that he lacks a bit of thoughtfulness in doing things."

"He is indeed a rare talent for managing the world!" Emperor Jiayou raised his head, suddenly feeling a little emotional, and said in a sighing tone: "In just a few years, Quanzhou has been managed to such a state!"

"That way of drying the salt is really powerful!" Li Neiguan praised.

Emperor Jiayou said: "Salting salt is just one of them. Wang Zihou also called on the people in Quanzhou to reclaim terraced fields, build water conservancy, open up mountains to grow tea, gather people together, provide relief with work, and spread education."

"In the past few years alone, under his call, more than [-] mu of terraced fields have been reclaimed, hundreds of tea mountains, and tens of thousands of mountain people and refugees have gathered..."

The more Emperor Jiayou spoke, the more emotional he became: "I can vaguely see a bit of the shadow of Fan Wenzheng in his body."

Li Neiguan knew that Emperor Jiayou attached great importance to Wang Zhong, but he did not expect that Emperor Jiayou's trust in Wang Zhong was so important.

That was Mr. Fan Wenzheng, the leader of the Qingli New Deal in the past, and the prime minister at that time, who was deeply relied on by Emperor Jiayou.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty, another capable minister!" Li Neiguan hurriedly cupped his hands to Emperor Jiayou to congratulate him.

In fact, the situation in Quanzhou has always been paid attention to by the Secretary of the Imperial City. After all, it is a place that the officials pay attention to. Naturally, it is necessary to report from time to time, and many things are known to Li's internal officials.

"It's a pity!" The smile on Emperor Jiayou's face stopped abruptly, and he sighed regretfully: "It's a pity that I'm already old, I don't know how much time I have left!"

"Your Majesty is at the peak of spring and autumn..." Before Li Neiguan finished speaking, Emperor Jiayou raised his hand and interrupted him.

"I know my body well, so I don't need to say these flattery words!" Emperor Jiayou looked at the booklet in his hand, pondered for a while, and finally said: "Send someone to the Ministry of War, and let the Ministry of War reward you for merit. If you have neglected the hero, go to the Privy Council and let the Privy Council issue a decree to dispatch troops, let Gu Tingye go to Lianghuai to suppress the rebellion!"
