Back to the end of Ming Dynasty to be a warlord

Chapter 195
What Yang Chao didn't know was that since the end of the scholars' uproar, the four princes thought they were 'forcing' all the officials in the south of the Yangtze River to perform impeachment memorials, and Emperor Chongzhen finally dismissed Tian Wan, so the four princes thought they had won , It was they who forced the emperor to dismiss his relatives and relatives who had committed all kinds of crimes.

And Meixianglou, which is the origin of the rioting incident, is naturally safe. The fourth young master didn't say anything, thinking that they protected Meixianglou, so he often came to Meixianglou for gatherings. Li Zhenli, the bustard of Meixianglou, is an old friend, and Meixianglou has become one of the regular gathering places of the four young masters.

After Hou Fangyu got acquainted with Li Xiangjun, he immediately had a good impression of him, and even came up with the idea of ​​grooming Li Xiangjun.

In the end, Chen Zhenhui was asked to mention to Li Zhenli that Li Zhenli was very happy that her daughter had a good future, but Li Xiangjun himself disagreed.

In the original history, Hou Fangyu really won the favor of Li Xiangjun, but because of the appearance of Yang Chao, Li Xiangjun's view of Hou Fangyu changed.

Originally, a handsome and handsome young man like Hou Fangyu was very popular with women, but Li Xiangjun witnessed Yang Chao secretly manipulating everything amidst the tumult of scholars, playing with the government and the four young masters. Yang Chao's manipulation of the faction, and even the reason why the fourth son became famous in the south of the Yangtze River.

But the fourth son, Hou Fangyu didn't know himself at all, thinking that all of this was achieved by them, even if someone brought them the details after the matter subsided, they would not accept it.

Therefore, in Li Xiangjun's eyes, Hou Fangyu is no longer a romantic and suave young master, but feels that he is being manipulated secretly, and he is a bit innocent, and without knowing it, he really thinks that he is desperately fighting with the government again, which makes Li Xiangjun feel that Hou Fangyu and the others are very Pitiful.

If a man wants to chase a woman, he can make the woman hate you, scold you, and beat you, but he can't make the woman pity you and sympathize with you.

Because of that kind of pity and sympathy for a lifetime, you actually become a weak person in the subconscious of a woman. Unless you are a woman with overflowing motherhood, it is impossible to fall in love with a poor wretch who is sympathized by yourself. Pitiful.

It's a pity that Li Xiangjun is not such a woman with overflowing maternal instincts, but an extremely staunch woman who can't see a man without ambition, so she has no feeling for Hou Fangyu anyway, no matter how good his literary talent and family background are, Li Xiangjun doesn't feel it. Feeling, so always refused to agree.

However, some people faintly rumored that Li Xiangjun was interested in Yang Chao, which made Hou Fangyu secretly resent Yang Chao. It is rumored that Yang Chao of Jinchai Building secretly manipulated everything, but Erlishe has always denied it. If Erlishe were to move out of Jinchailou at this time, or to launch some attacks on Yang Chao, it would be easy to be regarded as a blow Revenge confirmed the fact that their Erlishe was being teased.

Therefore, the more rumors and rumors there were, the more immovable the four sons of Erlishe would be, as if all the rumors were false.

But it is unavoidable that they are very annoyed at the Jinchai Tower in their hearts, and even they would rather have a private meeting in the Meixiang Tower than in the Jinchai Tower which is close at hand, and they would also invite Chen Yuanyuan who went to the Jinchai Tower to come to the Meixiang Tower Come with Dong Xiaowan.

Yang Chao has been staying in the barracks all the time, so he doesn't know about these recent rumors in Nanjing, and Kang Hui doesn't believe these rumors, because there are too many such rumors in Nanjing City, and they will dissipate in a short time, so he didn't tell Yang Chao.

After Yang Chao left Meixiang Tower, he returned home, only to find that his uncle had arrived with a worried expression on his face.

Uncle already knew that he was going to go to war, and he looked very worried. He wanted to speak a few times but didn't say anything.

In fact, Yang Chao knew what he wanted to say. He was afraid of danger and his son would never come back, so he wanted to ask his son to stay, but Yang Chao couldn't do favoritism at this time. It was hard to say whether Yang Chao could come back. He has never seen the fighting power of Manchurian soldiers, he only knows that they are very strong, but he has never seen how strong they are.

In fact, why did the Yang family worry about Yang Chao? Before he took the transfer order and went out, his mother was full of tears, his father gritted his teeth, and his sister couldn't stop crying.

Uncle finally did not speak. Yang Chao bid farewell to his family and returned to the barracks, only to find that many soldiers had deserted, and even an important officer had escaped.

Yang Chao couldn't help asking: "Where is Brother Chen Bao?"

Zhao Kang said apologetically, "He's sick and has diarrhea and can't get out of bed. His father came to pick him up."

Yang Chao's mood suddenly became gloomy. One of his banner chiefs refused to go to the expedition. He was sick. These were all excuses. The biggest reason was that he was afraid of death and his family stopped him, but in the end he was still unwilling to go to the expedition.

But Yang Chao gritted his teeth and only said hello, and then ordered to count the number of people.

Knowing that they were going to fight the Tartars, more than 200 soldiers from the military households of the Navy Guards sneaked away. Yang Chao had a way to make them punished. They are military households, they have families, and they are not afraid that they will not be found.

But Yang Chao didn't post this article right away, because the paperwork for hundreds of people was very complicated, and he was about to go out at this time, and he didn't have time to confuse with the Ministry of War at this time. Bring to justice, even if there are relatives of your own.

The most important thing is to reorganize the army. Many teams have vacancies, and it is too late to reorganize. For the time being, they can only be vacant for training. At the same time, let Zhang Dawei prepare the ships. He must first go to Guazhou, and then go north along the canal to Huai'an Water Transport Governor Shi Kefa. reports.

Some people are afraid that they will not come after death, while others follow desperately.

Huang Fengfu arrived at Daying at noon, and sincerely wanted to follow Yang Chao.

In fact, he has expressed several times that he wants to return to Yang Chao's side as an assistant, but Yang Chao doesn't believe him, so he just comforts him by letting him stay in Erlishe, saying that he is most useful there.

In fact, Yang Chao felt that he had not done Huang Fengfu any favors, but this person always showed his loyalty to himself. How could this be possible? There is no reason for loyalty.

In the Erli Society, Huangfeng's mansion is like a fish in water, and the fourth son has taken it seriously. He has already stated that he will help him achieve a scholar's fame as soon as the court exam opens next year, but Yang Chao can't do it, because Yang Chao knows Ti Xueyu. Shi Xu Zhihuan was killed by Zhang Xianzhong in Luzhou, and Yang Chao no longer had any relationship with the school.

The relationship between Yang Chao and Huangfeng Mansion was just because he was tricked into helping him for a few days and did not give him any benefits. Yang Chao wanted to win him over, but he didn't know how to win him over. Huangfeng Mansion is not a money-grubbing person People, but ambitious people, and Yang Chao didn't think Huang Feng's mansion would think highly of him, because no matter how he looked at it, it was much better for a scholar to seek refuge with the Fourth Young Master than to follow Yang Chao.

However, Huang Fengfu expressed his desire to help Yang Chao over and over again, and wanted to leave the Fourth Young Master's side.

If it is said that this is the idea of ​​the fourth son, if he wants to plant nails around Yang Chao, he will not believe it if Yang Chao is beaten to death. Why put nails around.

So Yang Chao couldn't figure it out all the time, couldn't figure it out and didn't dare to believe it, but now he couldn't help not believing it.

Because Huangfeng Mansion is going to fight with Yang Chao to deal with the paperwork for Yang Chao.

Other scholars' legs trembled when they heard that they were going to the battlefield, and they were even more frightened when they heard that they were fighting Tartars, but Huang Fengfu took the initiative to invite Ying.

Yang Chao patted him on the shoulder: "Okay! I happen to be short of a document."

Yang Chao has always insisted on writing files for the youngest soldier, and he and Hu Quan can only handle the official documents. Lu Mo has to lead the troops himself, and his literacy level is far inferior to Yang Chao and Hu Quan's, so Lu Mo can only be half a scholar. use.

Now joining a Huangfeng mansion, there will be one more person, and Yang Chao can relax a lot.

He patted Huangfeng Mansion again, then called Hu Quan, introduced him, and asked Huang Feng Mansion to follow Hu Quan to do things.

"Can a scholar really die for a confidant? Don't care about money, don't care about honor, don't care about everything, just for the kindness of a friend?"

Yang Chao could only understand that Huang Fengfu offered his loyalty to him out of the worldview of ancient scholar-bureaucrats.

Yang Chao laughed at himself that maybe he was a bit of a bastard.

Yang Chao originally had more than 800 soldiers, but this time there are only 610 soldiers left, a decrease of more than 200 soldiers.

Even the flag is always missing one.

However, this Banner is also the only officer, and none of the rest of the Bannermen who came from the Navy Guards ran away.

Only some soldiers escaped from the military households of the Navy Guard.

This at least shows that the poor navy military households value the status of a small officer more than the Xiaolingwei military households.

Yang Chao intentionally waited two days longer, but a dozen soldiers came back.

After they came back, some said they were called back by their family members, some said they had something to do temporarily, some said they went home to bid farewell, and some said they went back to give their families military pay. There were all kinds of reasons.

In short, they came back, Yang Chao didn't take any punishment, and welcomed them back to the team.

At this time, there were actually 630 soldiers, still more than 200 less.

Yang Chao didn't wait any longer, and set sail.

The three large boats are enough for all the soldiers to board, and the four shallow boats with grain can all be loaded with military rations and weapons, as well as a large sum of money.

Wang Xiao has once again obtained the privilege of his father to mobilize the power of shops along the canal, and has already gone to set up along the canal in advance. Yang Chao asked Wang Xiao to prepare meals, camps, and necessary supplies for his soldiers along the way. I believe that as long as Yang Chao If the fleet enters the canal, it will be able to get a good rest along the way.

The wind direction was not too favorable. It took five days to arrive at Guazhou Ferry on the opposite side of Zhenjiang from Nanjing.

Eat a full meal in Guazhou, recuperate for half a day, and at the same time load up the army rations, and receive four shallow boats from the Wang family, and then set off again northward.
