Back to the end of Ming Dynasty to be a warlord

Chapter 147 Good News

"There is news, there is news."

Wang Xiao has been hiding in her own shop all this time, not going anywhere, as if she would not show up until the scholar's uproar is over, but she ran to the barracks early this morning, Yang Chao thought there was a boat, but in the end As soon as he met, he shouted that there was news.

"what news?"

Yang Chao asked anxiously. He was most concerned about the news of his family. He didn't fall asleep all night. In his dream, his parents were pushed into the canal by a group of menacing scholars. After Yang Chao woke up, he couldn't sleep again.

Wang Xiao gasped and said, "It's nothing serious, it's a serious problem."

"What's all right?"

Yang Chao grabbed Wang Xiao's shoulder and shook it.

Wang Xiao said: "Uncle, Aunt, and Lingmei are all fine."

Only then did Yang Chao breathe a sigh of relief, pleasantly surprised, but still asked anxiously: "Tell me, what's the matter?"

Only then did Wang Xiao explain the whole story.

It turned out that the family's boat had just arrived in Suzhou, but they encountered a group of scholars waiting by the river to go north. They forcibly seized the boat, drove the Yang family off, and sailed away.

After the Yang family got angry, they went to Suzhou City smartly, and went to the Wang family's shop even more smartly.

The shopkeeper of the Wang family's shop understood the purpose of his visit, and happened to know that the Yang family was the guest of the Wang family recently, and in Hangzhou, Mr. Wang even directly gave up a big house to the Yang family to live in.

The shopkeeper didn't dare to be careless immediately, and immediately arranged for the Yang family to live in Suzhou, and at the same time sent someone to Nanjing to deliver the letter.

Yesterday the Hangzhou scholar's boat arrived in Nanjing, and the boatman brought bad news to Wang Xiao. Today, a letter from the shopkeeper from Suzhou arrived, bringing the good news.

"The shopkeeper is also clever. Thank him for me, give 100 taels of silver, and the money will be directly deducted from my meeting ticket."

Yang Chao immediately said to Wang Xiao.

Wang Xiao smiled and said: "No, no. The shopkeeper is really smart, he is an old man of the Wang family. But you don't have to worry, the Suzhou shopkeeper said that he dare not arrange a boat to send people off for now, for fear of encountering accidents. He also said Yes, if we send a ship, there will be a message in advance. Let you rest assured."

Yang Chao smiled wryly: "Relax? How can I be reassured. I still want to go to Suzhou. You write a letter and ask your shopkeeper to make arrangements. When my people arrive in Suzhou, I will send a ship. Tell him, there must be serious problems. Thanks."

Wang Xiao couldn't resist sighing: "Okay, let's do as you said."

Then Wang Xiao hesitated and said, "However, what are you going to do about the scholar?"

As soon as the matter of the scholar was mentioned, Yang Chao was very dissatisfied, mainly because Xiong Mingyu disgusted him.

There were also scholars who were too daring, and even robbed their own boat. Although there was no danger in the end, Yang Chao believed that his family members must have been shocked too, so he couldn't help feeling disgusted with these brainless scholars.

"Let them make trouble, and see who has made a fuss!"

Yang Chao simply decided to let it go, and let the two hated objects have a headache for each other, and he was determined not to intervene, if he wanted to intervene, he would just fan the flames and make them more violent.

Unless, Xiong Mingyu honestly helped him implement the military merit, and Yang Chao felt a little annoyed when he mentioned this military merit. He had already handed in his honorable military merit for killing the enemy. I don't even know where the problem is.

Yang Chao has been investigating. The last time he asked Fu Yin to help him investigate, Fu Yin was still communicating with Bing Beidao.

During the Wanli period, the imperial court set up ten large naval camps on the Nanzhili River: "The Yangtze River is more than a thousand miles away, there are five battalions on the upper river, and three military ministers; five battalions on the lower river, and two military ministers."

A total of five military routes were set up, three going up the river and two going down the river.

The so-called Shangxiajiang refers to the section of the Yangtze River in Nanzhili, which is basically divided according to the way of upstream and downstream.

There are seven prefectures and three states in Shangjiang, which are Fengyang, Luzhou, Anqing, Chizhou, Huizhou, Taiping, Ningguo, Guangde, Chuzhou, and Hezhou; Xiajiang has seven prefectures and one prefecture, which is Yingzhou. Tianfu, Suzhou, Songjiang, Changzhou, Zhenjiang, Yangzhou, Huai'an and Xuzhou.

Shangjiang is basically the Anhui Province of later generations, and Xiajiang is the Jiangsu Province of later generations.

There are five water camps in Xiajiang, and there are two soldiers and soldiers, Yingtian soldiers and Su Song soldiers. The management of the water camps near Nanjing is naturally Yingtian soldiers and soldiers.

Ying Tianfu Yin has some friendship with Bing Beidao, Bing Beidao agreed to help with the inspection, but military books and documents are frequently exchanged, and those small officials in the government are not serious about their work, so it is not so easy to check, so there is no news yet, and there is no It may be that Ying Tianfu Yin didn't seriously help. Anyway, Yang Chao hasn't received the news yet. He originally planned to find time to visit Ying Tianfu, but he never took the time.

"My lord, Xiong Da Sima's servant please see me!"

I had a conversation with Yang Chao in the camp, and said that Cao Cao had arrived, and was talking about his problem with Xiong Mingyu. He wanted to ask Wang Xiao if he had any connections to help him find out what went wrong, but in the end there was a The team is coming to report that Xiong Mingyu has sent someone.

Wang Xiao said: "Brother Yang, please take shelter below."

Yang Chao nodded.

It's still the servant Xiong San.

"Xiong San met Master Yang."

Xiong San is the servant of the Minister of the Ministry of War. The so-called seventh-rank officials in front of the prime minister's door are comparable to the seventh-rank officials. , but this Yang Chao made his master unable to do anything. After scolding him last night, he had to be sent here today.

"Well, Mr. Xiong, sit down."

Yang Chao asked Xiong San to sit on the chair opposite to him, and the two talked through a desk.

Xiong San said straightforwardly: "My lord has said that Mr. Yang must quickly find a way to stop the scholar from making trouble. If the trouble continues, it will be too late if the scene can't be stopped."

Yang Chao snorted coldly: "What else did your lord say?"

Xiong San was puzzled for a moment, and his master really guessed it right, this Master Yang really wanted to ask.

Xiong San continued: "My lord also said that he is rushing to deal with your matter, and it will be finished within three days. Please put the overall situation first, my lord."

Yang Chao didn't know what tricks Xiong Mingyu was playing with his family.

Yang Chao only cared about his own affairs, and this time he made up his mind not to scatter eagles when he sees rabbits, and not to shoot when he sees military achievements.

Yang Chao was unmoved and said, "Then you go back and tell your lord to come find me in three days."

Xiong Sanyi thought this was also guessed by his adults, so he still had something to say, so he didn't need to go back and ask for instructions.

His lord said that if Yang Chao refused, he would tell Yang Chao: "My lord said that he will have a banquet with Admiral Cao Jiang tonight, and your affairs will be settled. If Master Yang doesn't believe it, you can go to the banquet together."

Yang Chao sneered in his heart. He didn't know the truth, but he would never trust an old fox like Xiong Mingyu easily.

With one hand for money and one hand for goods, it is absolutely impossible to do business with these people and then collect money.

So he said: "Go back and tell your lord that I am very busy recently. My family was robbed by scholars in Suzhou. Now there is no news. I am going to Suzhou. If there is anything, I will talk about it when I come back." .”

Xiong San was taken aback, Yang Chao was about to leave, his lord hadn't guessed it, he left, what should he do with his lord's affairs.

But Xiong San didn't know what to do, so he left immediately, rode back to the city in a hurry, and reported back to Xiong Mingyu.

As soon as Xiong Sanyi left, Wang Xiao came out again.

"What will Mr. Bear do?"

Wang Xiao couldn't help asking, what would Xiong Mingyu do if Yang Chao said he was leaving and quit.

Yang Chao smiled and said, "Probably someone will be sent to look for me soon."

Wang Xiao nodded, and had to admire Yang Chao's work, as if he could always control the overall situation steadily.
