"You don't have to thank me. If this happens, the Holy See will value you!"
"This is a heavy responsibility, so you must do it well!" Zhu Jinghong said seriously.
Whether it is out of the idea of repaying a favor or for his own honor and disgrace in his official career, Jia Yucun will work hard to complete his errands.
Jia Yucun solemnly replied: "Your Highness, don't worry, even if I die... I won't let those people cause trouble!"
Obviously Jia Yucun knows that someone will cause trouble, so he knows it very well. At least he knows better than an outsider like Zhu Jinghong what he should do.
Next, the two of them discussed the situation in the southeast, especially the local situation. Only then did Zhu Jinghong realize that the situation was more serious than he thought.
If Jia Yucun really suppressed these people, then his position as the imperial envoy was not for nothing. After all, this job is not ordinary difficult.
While the two of them were chatting freely, in a house somewhere in the east of Yingtian City, there was a young girl sitting alone in front of the window, looking at the bright moonlight in the sky in trance.
"Girl..."
The person who spoke was Zicuckoo. After being called by her, Daiyu just turned around.
"Father fell asleep?"
"Father fell asleep..."
Daiyu didn't ask more about the situation because the situation had reached its worst point. , his father is now exhausted, and it could happen at any time...
Thinking of this, Daiyu shed tears again.
"Girl, the uncle and the second uncle sent someone to deliver the message again, saying that they would like to invite the girl to discuss important matters together!" Zicuckoo said with a troubled face.
The so-called important matter to discuss is actually Lin Ruhai’s posthumous affairs, or more precisely, the Lin family’s property.
Although Lin Ruhai was an incorruptible official, the property and cash passed down from his family amounted to almost one hundred thousand taels after conversion.
With the current purchasing power of silver, this is already a very rich inheritance, and it is even more precious for the collateral members of the Lin family who live an average life.
Lin Ruhai has been unable to get up recently. Everyone could see that he was about to die, so these Lin family disciples came to find him.
"Just let...let...they wait for two more days!"
Of course it is impossible to refuse directly. After all, Daiyu has to rely on the help of these family members for Lin Ruhai's funeral. Her daughter cannot do many things at home.
"Yeah!"
In fact, once Lin Ruhai passes away, she will lose her right to speak in the Lin family, unless the Jia family can help her.
But the Jia family is in Beijing, too far away from Yingtianshi, and there are many things that they can't help at all.
"Girl... should you send someone to send a message to the Xue family and ask the Xue family to help us!"
Zicuckoo's words are really not out of the blue, because Baochai and Dai Due to the close relationship with Yu, the princess sent messages to the Xue family many times, asking them to do more to help the Lin family.
It’s just that Daiyu didn’t want to trouble others, so she never took the initiative to ask the Xue family for help.
On the contrary, Xia Yuegui took Baochai’s words to heart.He invited Daiyu to the house several times for talks and sent many medicinal materials and supplements to the Lin family.
"After all, it is our family matter. It is not good to involve the Xue family rashly. After all, Sister Bao is also in trouble now!"
Prince Xiang's Mansion has been impeached repeatedly and is always at the forefront, so Daiyu didn't want to cause trouble to Baochai.
Indifferent, it is also because Daiyu's news is too late, and it is all piecemeal. It is impossible to make an accurate judgment on the situation in the capital, which is why she has these current concerns.
It is precisely because of the lack of information that Daiyu has no idea that Zhu Jinghong arrived in Yingtian today.
Zicjuan then persuaded a few more words. Daiyu listened to some and not to others. In fact, she had a rough idea of what to do, but she only considered her father's affairs. She had no idea about where she would go. Pass.
In the middle of the night, Daiyu rested early while being served by Zijuan and several other girls.
She got up early the next day, washed herself briefly, and then went to her father's house. At this time, the servants had prepared the soup, and Daiyu personally fed it to her father one spoonful at a time.
Of course, servants can do these things, but Daiyu just wants to do more things, which will make her feel a little better.
After she finished feeding him the medicine, Lin Ruhai fell asleep again. At this moment, he was already skin and bones, which would scare even the faint of heart.
Daiyu walked out of the house and was walking to her small courtyard when she heard some girls talking.
"I heard from the waiter outside that we now have two princes in Yingtian Mansion!"
"Two princes, which two?"
" I don’t know...I’ll ask later, it’s quite novel!”
The girls walked away with their utensils, but Daiyu felt very uneasy inside, and she also wanted to know something new! Who is that coming?
Is it him?
There was a guess in Daiyu's mind. She really hoped it was the person in her heart, but she felt that it couldn't be true.
"Zicjuan, go and ask...what's going on!"
Ask what's going on. It's not very clear, but Daiyu believes that Zijuan understands it. mean.
After Zicuckoo responded, she quickly trotted forward.
Standing there, Daiyu felt very complicated. She really hoped that Zhu Jinghong would come, but she was also very afraid that her hope would fail.
For a while, Daiyu began to worry about gains and losses.
Although Zijuan was only there for a few minutes, Daiyu felt that a long time had passed.
"Girl..."
Zicuckoo failed, but Daiyu was extremely anxious.
"Who is here?"
"It's Master Thirteen who is here!" Zicuckoo's face was filled with smiles.
At the next moment, Daiyu also had a smile on her face. Although it was very shallow and fleeting, she was still noticed by Zicuckoo.
Daiyu is indeed very happy at the moment. Before, she felt lonely and helpless, had no clue about the future and was extremely pessimistic. Now these negative emotions are allGone.
Although Zhu Jinghong was not in front of her, she still felt that she had support, and the long-lost sense of security enveloped her again.
Such a state really made her happy.
It was just the circumstances at home that made it impossible for her to laugh.
"Girl, those people want to bully you, don't be afraid of them now!"
"Just tell Master Thirteen, those people will not end well!"
"Okay... those people are still harmonious now, then they are still a family!" Daiyu sighed.
The deeper meaning of this statement is that if those people dare to persecute her again, they will no longer be called her family.
In other words, there are some things you have to do at your own risk.
"Be calm and don't move around, so as not to miss his business!"
Hearing Daiyu's instructions, Zijuan innocently replied: "Girl ...I didn't say anything!"
"And...who is he?" After saying this, Zicuckoo covered her mouth and snickered.
Daiyu's face turned red, and she was about to act like a girl and teach her a lesson, but when she saw Zijuan's smiling face, she didn't want to make a fuss.
"I really can't control you!"
"Girl, if you can't control me, you can ask him for help... Haha!"
"You..."
It was very rare that the master and servant started to fight, and Daiyu's depressed mood improved a lot.
One day passes, and another day comes.
On the third day, there was more and more news about Zhu Jinghong, but this man did not send anyone to contact the Lin family, which made Daiyu worry about gain and loss again.
Could he have forgotten me? Or is he too busy? Or...
Daiyu thought a lot. This is the normal state of mind of a girl in love, who will worry about gains and losses over small things.
You really can’t blame Zhu Jinghong for this situation, because he has been really busy these three days.
During these three days, he met with local officials in Jinling and went to several large warehouses around Yingtian to learn about the situation of military grain reserves and the preparation of ordnance, artillery, shells and other supplies.
After the period, three officials in charge of the treasury were dismissed, and another three officials and seventeen minor officials were executed on the spot.
The first of the three things a new official did when he took office was bloody, and it also severely shocked the officials in Jinling.
Many people want to make a stumbling block, but now they have to weigh whether their neck is strong enough to survive Zhu Jinghong's butcher knife.
In addition, he also went to Jinling Shipyard to learn about its shipbuilding capabilities and maintenance capabilities.
June 11th was the fourth day Zhu Jinghong arrived in Jinling.
Today's schedule was also very full. After breakfast and getting ready to set off, he finally remembered that Daiyu was also in Yingtian.
"Yu Hai!"
Yu Hai's schedule is later, but it was also yesterdayArrive at Yingtian.
"The slave is here!"
"You can go to Lin's house later and take a look for me!"
"Yes!"
"Be low-key and don't make a fuss!"
"I understand!"
Yu Hai works calmly and Zhu Jinghong is relieved.
After breakfast, he led his guards and set off. Their destination was the Jinling Naval Station. This was his first stop to inspect the army after taking office.
With one person and three horses, they were a group of more than 200 people, rushing towards Tongzhou hundreds of miles away.
After nearly five hundred miles, Zhu Jinghong arrived in Tongzhou near noon the next day.
The news came the day before that Zhu Jinghong was coming to inspect, and the entire Jinling Navy was already ready.
The team had been assembled an hour in advance, and now they were all lined up in the military camp.
Outside the gate of the military camp, Jinling Navy Admiral Wang Long has led his subordinate generals to wait in line.
The smoke and dust are getting closer and closer, and the sound of horse hooves is getting louder and louder.
After a few breaths, Zhu Jinghong reined in the reins and stopped in front of Wang Long and others.
"I bow to your Highness, may you be a thousand years old!"
Wang Long led a group of generals and saluted Zhu Jinghong.
"Get up!" Zhu Jinghong said calmly.
Soon a guard came over and took the reins from Zhu Jinghong.
Leaping off his horse, Zhu Jinghong walked towards the gate of the military camp accompanied by his guards, hands behind his back.
Today, he is wearing a red python pattern, a hood, a pearl folding hat, and a saber hanging on his waist. He looks very capable and in line with the military style.
When Zhu Jinghong walked towards the military camp, Wang Long also waited for the generals to follow him.
"When the Thirteenth Master came to Jinling, he first visited the Jinling Navy. All the officers and soldiers of the Navy felt deeply honored..."
It sounds like this Wang Long said it very sincerely, like kneeling down and licking it, because this was what he felt in his heart.
Zhu Jinghong is a celebrity, especially in the military. Both infantrymen and sailors know his victorious deeds.
Most people have only heard of his deeds but have not been able to see him.
Now this legendary figure has officially inspected the garrisons in various places in the southeast, and chose the Jinling Navy as the first stop, which shows that Zhunhua attaches great importance to this army. The officers and soldiers of the Navy naturally feel and honored. Yan.
"Your Highness, King Xiang, may you live a thousand years longer!"
When Zhu Jinghong entered the military camp, the officers and soldiers lined up on the left knelt on one knee and shouted slogans in unison.
Zhu Jinghong took a rough look and found that the number of these teams ranged from one hundred to three hundred people, and most of them were around a hundred people.
So Zhu Jinghong speculated that each team belonged to a battleship. There were more Class C battleships, so there were more Centurions.
As he walked deeper into the military camp, hisThe sounds of worshiping come and go, and the voices are getting louder and louder, which shows how popular Zhu Jinghong is.
According to the itinerary, Zhu Jinghong went directly to the port and boarded a warship under the guidance of Wang Long.
This is a Class C battleship, equipped with thirty-two cannons and manned by one hundred and fifty sailors.
Zhu Jinghong did not simply take a look. He entered the cabin and carefully checked the condition of the artillery and ammunition, as well as the sailors' operational level.
So this warship really fired three shells in a row, and its loading speed was quite satisfactory to Zhu Jinghong.
"General Wang, I would like to change the way of playing, is it possible?" Zhu Jinghong turned his head and asked, looking at the splash of the cannonball in the distance.
Although Zhu Jinghong was joking, Wang Long did not dare to neglect him at all. He respectfully replied: "Please give me instructions, Master Thirteen!"
"We'll see the second class later." How about I randomly pick a few people to test their loading skills on the ship?"
Because they were notified in advance, Zhu Jinghong had reason to suspect that Wang Long sent the most elite soldiers to the ship and could not represent them. Everyone is at this level.
And he, Zhu Jinghong, came here mainly to check the combat readiness, how could he be fooled by others at will.
In recent years, the emperor has attached great importance to the navy, so the several navy admirals he has replaced are people who really want to do things. Wang Long, who is only in his forties, is a standard workaholic.
In the more than a year since he took office, he has really devoted himself to training the Navy, so the reloading speed of those soldiers just now really represents the level of the Jinling Navy.
"The Thirteenth Master can choose at will!" Wang Long replied confidently.
Zhu Jinghong was not polite either. He sent three guards respectively and selected different teams from different fleets.
After these people boarded the ship, they operated in sequence according to Zhu Jinghong's arrangements.
Each team fired three rounds each, and once they were done, they proved to Zhu Jinghong that the Jinling Navy was indeed an elite force.
Although the result satisfied him, Zhu Jinghong still felt it was not enough.
So he ordered again: "I want to see the first-class ships of the Jinling Navy in a while!"
The first-class ships are the most powerful ones at the moment. Battleships, both Chinese and Western, are the absolute main force.
After waiting for the ship, Wang Long thought that Zhu Jinghong was going to test-fire again, but the latter asked the warship to sail out of the harbor.
"Leaving the port?" Wang Long was surprised.
"Yes... get out of the harbor and slip away!"
Now is wartime, Zhu Jinghong is responsible for commanding the armies in the southeast, and his words are military orders that must be implemented.
So even though the movement was a bit loud, Wang Long still ordered the sails to be raised.
After a while, the battleship started to move and slowly sailed towards the sea.
"Turn left..."
"Turn right..."
"Strike forward..."
Zhu Jinghong again and againAfter giving the order, he was testing the maneuverability of the warship. At present, it was necessary to obtain a more favorable shooting angle, which was a very critical and important capability.
The results of the inspection still satisfied Zhu Jinghong, at least better than he imagined. The transcoding has been serious recently, which makes us more motivated and updates faster. Please use your little hands to exit the reading mode. Thank you
