Chapter 375: Think of it together

Zhang Zhouyi probably knew what he was talking about.

Who else in the south of the Yangtze River wants to rebel? Zhu Chenhao, who just won the throne, or those vassal kings from various places who have lived in the south of the Yangtze River for a long time and do not know the cold winter in the north

Lu Wan didn't make it clear, maybe Lu Wan He also knows that if something is said too convincingly, then he, the whistleblower, is likely to be connected with someone behind the scenes, and others will become more suspicious of him.

Immediately, Zhang Zhou wrote to Tang Yin who was on his way to Shenyang, asking him to arrive in Shenyang as soon as possible. He seemed not to pay attention to Tang Yin's thoughts at all.

At this time, Tang Yin and his party were already short of people and horses, especially those Koreans who followed the new leader of North Korea, Li Yi. Many of them did not even have carriages and horses, so they had to walk this distance. After entering the Ming Dynasty, people can't keep up with the team.

The team had originally been ordered to be stationed that afternoon, but they received a temporary notice and had to travel overnight.

On the North Korean side, some women and children were told to get in the car and drive to Daming.

"Auntie, what are they talking about?" a seven or eight-year-old girl asked Zhang Lushui who had just communicated with Ming soldiers.

The little girl is not very good at understanding Daming's language. She is also learning from Zhang Lushui along the way, with a bit of innocence on her childish face, and a bit of uncertainty about the future. , left her hometown at a young age. Although she had been ordered to bring her family with her, she only had an adoptive father and mother by her side, and her adoptive parents were responsible for cooking for the North Korean retinue who followed the team.

Zhang Lushui said, "We are going to travel at night so that we can reach Shenyang in the Ming Dynasty before sunset tomorrow. Can you speak what I taught you?"

"Yes. ”

The little girl tried and said again the Chinese that Zhang Lushui taught her, “The daughter of the people comes to see Mr. Lai Guogong and wishes Mr. Lai Guogong a long life, a supreme minister, and a high official.” I wish you good luck and prosperity."

Zhang Lushui shook his head and said, "You still don't speak fluently enough. How can you make a high-ranking official of the Ming Dynasty favor you when you meet her like this? "

The little girl's eyes were shining with tears, and she seemed a little anxious about her poor performance. She asked, "But why should I get his favor?"

This question But Zhang Lushui was stunned.

From Zhang Lushui’s background and experience, what she has been pursuing for half her life is how to attract men’s attention and how to use her physical condition to obtain resources for survival.

She was first given to Tang Yin, and now she was ordered to follow the Ming envoys to the Ming Dynasty. She knew that the second half of her life would be no different from the first half.

Faced with a little girl who was "dependent on each other" with her, she didn't know what to say.

"Jang Geum, I have a daughter, but she is not as old as you. She is still in North Korea and did not come with me." Zhang Lushui said, "I treat you as both a daughter and a niece. Look, you have a lot to learn from me in the future. You have to remember that I will not harm you.. ”

“Yeah. "The little girl nodded.

"Practice a few more times. Remember, you are the girl that Duke Lai Guo found in North Korea. I don’t know why he is looking for you. Even Lord Park Yuanzong doesn’t know his intentions. Since you are the one he chose, you must follow the rules of the Ming Dynasty. They like to hear things like this. ”

“I understand. ”

The two got into the carriage together.

There was a separate carriage prepared for them, and there was even a woman in her forties who was responsible for taking care of their daily life.

p>

In the North Korean envoy team, the status of the two women will be relatively high. They will be regarded as North Korea's "tributes". Protecting their stability along the way is what North Korea focuses on. < /p>

The carriage creaked and moved forward, not very fast, because it had rained a little and the road was still a bit muddy. The team often had to stop, and no one knew where it got stuck.

"Auntie, I went to look for my grandma earlier and saw a carriage there. It was tightly closed inside. Only grandma was delivering food inside. I took a look and saw a woman in luxurious clothes inside. "Who is she?" the little girl asked.

Zhang Lushui said, "Maybe it was a gift from an adult in North Korea to a high-ranking official in the Ming Dynasty." "

The little girl said, "But I saw that Aniang respected her very much. She said that she was of noble birth, and some people even knelt down to her. She is very young, many years younger than her aunt. ”

“Then I don’t know. Zhang Lushui said, "She is different from us. We just mind our own business." Now learn the language of the Ming Dynasty from me, and you must learn it carefully. In the future, even if you just serve tea and water, you must also learn the basic language, otherwise you will not understand what the adults say, and you will be punished. ”

“Okay. "

"Listen to me, there is tea, tables and chairs."

When the team arrived in Shenyang, Zhang Zhou and Lu Wan led people out of the Acropolis to greet them in person.< /p>

Tang Yin and Xu Jing, accompanied by the nominal envoy of North Korea, Jin Shoutong, the prison guard, came to greet Zhang Zhou.

"Where is the Lord of Jincheng?" Zhang Zhou laughed.

Jin Shoutong was startled. He heard that as long as Zhang Zhou still called Li Yi "Jincheng King", it meant that Li Yi's position as the leader of the country had not been officially recognized by the Ming Dynasty. , now Li Yi is only regarded as the crown prince at most.

Xu Jing rushed to say, "It's really inappropriate to talk about it in the horse carriage at the back. I was sick on the road and couldn't see the wind." "

The golden birthday boy also quickly explained to their future king, "Forgive me, Duke Lai, but my Lord is still recovering from his illness. "

"Haha. "Zhang Zhouyi smiled.

Lu Wandao next to him said, "Is it to recover from illness, or is he deliberately pretending to be ill because he will have to meet sooner or later. Do you need to push back and hold back like this when meeting Duke Lai Guo?"

Obviously the one who came with him was the king of North Korea, but in the Ming Dynasty he was a prince.In front of me, the Koreans seemed to have no face at all.

This depends on the strength of the military, and it is also related to the fact that the "Jingguo Incident" in North Korea was promoted by Tang Yin.

Originally, the envoys of the suzerain country were very powerful. If they were still Duke Lai, they would not be able to find fault.

Tang Yin said, "I have been diagnosed, and I am sick."

Zhang Zhou smiled and nodded and said, "Bohu, this time you go to North Korea, you can fight for the Ming Dynasty." , I have reported it to Your Majesty, and I will give you a promotion after I return." "No need." Tang Yin really doesn't want to be promoted this time.

Although he didn't say much, the subtext of these two words was, please, senior brother, please don't torment me again in the future.

I have had to live or die for the past six months, and I would be happy to come back alive. If being promoted to a higher position means that I will continue to be tormented by you in the future, then I would rather be a local official. It is better than risking your life and continuing to run through mountains of swords and seas of fire.

The group entered the city.

Many soldiers and civilians in the city came out to greet him, and even the merchants were beating gongs and drums.

Liaodong has never been taken seriously by the Ming Dynasty in the past. Although Shenyang was nominally the largest trading city in Liaodong, it was not the capital of Liaodong during the Ming Dynasty. From the perspective of the Chief Envoy, Shenyang was under the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty. Shandong only exists as a military area. Most of the people are hijacked by military households. It is normal to capture strong men during wars.

Now through Zhang Zhou, Liaodong seems to be showing signs of revitalization.

The residents of the city also had a sense of pride, especially when the leader of North Korea came to the Ming Dynasty as a "captive".

After Li Yi checked into the post house, Zhang Zhou went to visit him in person. After all, his main purpose of staying in Shenyang was to accompany Li Yi to the capital. The safety of Li Yi along the way was nominally his responsibility. Zhou Lai was responsible. If something happened to Li Yi and he was assassinated or died on the way, Zhang Zhou would not have much responsibility. At most, he would send someone back to inform North Korea and ask them to choose another country leader.

"Your Majesty Li Yi, I have met Duke Lai Guo. Please forgive me for not being able to stay at the hotel to greet him." Li Yi lay on the bed, looking at the group of people coming in with an ashen look on his face. The leader was naturally Zhang Zhou.

Zhang Zhou smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you are too polite. There is no need to surrender before meeting Your Majesty. It means that he has not taught Chinese well yet."

Zhang Zhou said while looking to the side. golden birthday boy.

Jin Shoutong hurriedly said, "Your Majesty is proficient in Chinese, but it still needs to be perfected."

This shows that Li Yi was not valued by the royal family in the past, or that he died when he was young. After his father, his elder brother Yanshan Jun did not pay close attention to his education in order to prevent him from usurping power in the future, but instead imposed various restrictions on him.

"Then teach them well along the way. In the future, as the leader of a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, you must also pay attention to using the Ming etiquette to govern the country." Zhang Zhou gave guidance with a smile.

"Chen"

When Jin Shoutong heard that Li Yi was making a mistake in addressing him again, he hurried upGive me some advice.

Li Yi then changed his words and said, "The students have been taught."

As the leader of North Korea, he claimed to be a student in front of the officials of the Ming Dynasty. , It seems that the leader of North Korea has devalued himself.

But in fact, Zhang Zhou knew that the so-called title did not mean anything. The most important thing was not to rely on respect from others, but to rely on fear in the heart.

Zhang Zhou brought a doctor, but Zhang Zhou himself can also be a doctor.

After diagnosing Li Yi, it was just ordinary wind and cold. The so-called not being able to see the wind was more of an excuse for Li Yi to avoid seeing him.

The reason why you can’t see the wind when you get cold is reasonable.

"He was tired from the journey and some psychological things, which made him feel a little wronged. I don't know why."

Zhang Zhou came out and saw Cheng Xiyan was introduced by Jin Shou Tong.

Cheng Xiyan did not serve as an envoy this time, but as Li Yi's personal bodyguard. Cheng Xiyan did not represent North Korea, but more Park Yuanzong, and some private matters could not be controlled. The golden birthday boy is responsible, or in other words, the golden birthday boy does not serve as the "Jinguo hero", and his right to speak seems to be very low.

Cheng Xiyan said, “Maybe it’s because of the princess.”

Zhang Zhou nodded and said, “I heard that the concubine of the Jincheng Lord is a woman from the Shen family. , was forced to reconcile with her, and she also got the consent of Concubine Cishun, right?"

Cheng Xiyan replied, "Based on precedent, although Concubine Yuan's family has been deficient in virtue, Concubine Yuan is not at fault, and it is not a reasonable reason to give up." Tang Yin said, "Cheng Zuoxiang, you can't say this nonsense."

"Yes" Cheng Xiyan said quickly. Lower your head.

Cheng Xiyan is now the Minister of "Left Affairs". Although this official position is only temporary, it also shows that Pu Yuanzong plans to take good care of Cheng Xiyan in the future.

Tang Yin came over and whispered, "Shen's daughter is also in the team. But the Lord of Jincheng doesn't know."

"Yes." Zhang Zhou nodded, and then said loudly, "Although the Lord of Jincheng is unwell, when it comes to his succession, it is also for the sake of the stability of North Korea, so there can be no delay. He will leave before noon tomorrow and continue to the capital. No problem, right"

"We can't wait any longer." Tang Yin talks more now, and he seems very tough in front of the Koreans. , "This is His Majesty's order, no delay."

The golden birthday boy looked at Cheng Xiyan. Even Cheng Xiyan didn't object, so he could only lower his head and approve the plan.

That night, Zhang Zhou held a banquet in the tent of the military camp where he lived, and invited Tang Yin and Xu Jing to a banquet.

At the wine table, Xu Jing kept coming over to toast Zhang Zhou.

Zhang Zhou smiled and said, "You two, this trip has been hard."

"It's not hard." Xu Jing said with a smile, "Master Zhang, it's more hard for you, all the way to Liaodong. , now LiaoThe seas, rivers and rivers everywhere in the east are really clear, and people everywhere are praising your merits. ”

Tang Yin glanced at Xu Jing and couldn’t help frowning.

I asked you to curry favor with Zhang Zhou and make a career, so you don’t have to be so groveling

You can’t follow E Xuexue

Zhang Zhou said, "Just don't blame me. There are some things I didn't expect, such as North Korea only sending five thousand soldiers and horses, and what happened to you in Duobi City. Although I never sent Reinforcements, but I told Bo'an that once the Jurchens make any changes to Dobi City, he will launch a full-scale attack to rush for reinforcements. It was useless in the end. ”

Tang Yinxin said, I believe you, you big-headed ghost.

We were trapped in the multi-walled city for several months, and we didn’t see any reinforcements. In the end, you took the people there yourself. He sent us some food and weapons, and then asked us to go to North Korea to rebel, and said that he was not trying to trick us

Zhang Zhou seemed to be unaware of Tang Yin’s psychological activities, and sighed, “But because of this, he can be regarded as Bohu. The potential in your heart has been stimulated. You see how well you performed this time. I might as well tell you. I have already asked Your Majesty. If possible, you can follow me back to the capital. When you come back, this land in Liaodong will be yours. Come be the governor. "

"What?"

Tang Yin stood up as soon as he heard this.

Looked very excited.

Zhang Zhou said, "Don't be too excited. Excitement, this is all part of being a senior brother. "

Xu Jing next to me is so envious.

Following Zhang Zhou, you can get the official position of governor. This is what many people dream of. If you want Wang Shouren to be the governor, you have to rely on it. He received the meritorious service in the Battle of Weininghai, but Tang Yin only went to North Korea to help the Koreans create a counterattack, and he had almost no meritorious service to the Ming Dynasty.

Tang Yin hurriedly defended, "I was born in Jiangnan, and I am not accustomed to it." Northern weather. "

"Pa"

Zhang Zhouyi slapped the table, looking surprised and said, "You won't believe it even if you tell me, I think so too, so I plan to let you go to Zhejiang As governor, it's up to you to train the navy. You see, our senior fellow apprentices thought of going together."

""

Tang Yin was speechless for a moment.

He seemed to understand what Zhang Zhou just said. He is the governor of Liaodong, and his feelings are digging holes for him.

Just wait for him to say that he is not used to the weather in the north, and then use Po to tell you that there is a "hard" job waiting for you in the south of the Yangtze River.

Xu Jing saw Tang Yin’s reaction and tentatively said, “Is Jiangnan too far?”

“Oh. Zhang Zhou seemed to be thinking, "Actually, if you want to build ships and train naval forces, you don't have to go to Zhejiang. How about this? I will set up a good job for you at Tanggukou on the Bohai Sea. Please give you the status of governor and let you go." Build ships over there and train the navy at the same time, and observe the situation in the south of the Yangtze River at any time, what do you think?" Tang Yin swallowed and asked, "Is there any other choice?"

Zhang Zhou shook his head, "It's best to have no other choice. ”

Xu Jing said with a smile, “It’s better to be in the Bohai Sea.”, close, and there is also the care of Duke Lai. Come on, Bohu, I’ll toast you too. ”

Tang Yin suddenly felt that he was going to be stuck in a quagmire again, but this time, it didn’t seem that complicated.

Just do something to make a difference, look. It was not life-threatening.

This time Zhang Zhou picked up the wine pot and poured wine for Tang Yin himself. By the time Tang Yin reacted and wanted to stop him, Zhang Zhou had already filled the glass of wine, "Bohu, I I know you yearn for comfort, but as an official, how can you do nothing? Doing nothing will not leave your name forever. ”

Tang Yin wanted to say that my goal in life is not to leave a name for eternity at all.

Zhang Zhou said, “Although your future errands are quite hard to think about, it is not after so many experiences.” After the two battles between Bicheng and Hanyang City, it doesn't matter if you think about it again. I have experienced big things, and my mentality must be more mature. I will rely on you in the future, so you have to give me face. ”

Tang Yin picked up the wine glass. This was Zhang Zhouzhu’s wine. He had to drink it if he didn’t want to.

Otherwise, it would be a penalty for not eating the toast.

p>

After midnight.

After Zhang Zhou ended the banquet and sent Tang Yin and Xu Jing away, Zhang Zhou, who drank a lot, continued to write about himself to Zhu Youtang as if he was fine.

In fact, he had not planned the call for Tang Yin in advance, but only decided it after discussing it with Tang Yin.

Zhang Zhou has a big goal next.

"Sail afar, even if I can't send troops overseas, at least it will allow me to understand the situation in the New World. Ming Dynasty's maritime trade still needs me to protect it. You can’t get out of touch with the world. "

Zhang Zhouzheng is contemplating grand plans for the future.

Liu Gui's voice came from the door, "Master, I'm back. "

"Come in, come in. ”

Zhang Zhou put down his pen and went to the door to meet Liu Gui in person.

Liu Gui appeared in front of Zhang Zhou with a smile on his face. Seeing Zhang Zhou was like meeting a relative. There were still tears in his eyes.

Zhang Zhou nodded and said, "It's not easy. I have experienced a lot this time and grown a lot. I will reward you well when I go back." At least he is also a member of the Jinyiwei Deputy Qianhu. You can go in and hang out in the East Factory. "

"It's okay, I just want to stay with the master. Liu Guidao.

Zhang Zhou smiled and said, "It's not a problem to follow me all the time. If you want to join the army, I'll try to help you get a general or something like that. But it's a bit difficult if you don't have a martial arts scholar." It's better to take a martial arts exam"

"Younger ones don't have that ability. "Liu Gui then cried sadly.

"Then don't take the exam and continue to be a royal guard. From now on, it is better to be the leader of the capital than to go out to fight and kill. "Zhang Zhou smiled and patted Liu Gui on the shoulder.

Liu Gui said, "Sir, I have brought you all the people, and they are all good at singing. I am also planning to plunder a few more Korean girls for you. Wazi, but Mr. Tang doesn’t allow it. ”

Zhang Zhoubai glanced at him and said, “The lives of North Koreans are also lives. They really treat themselves as thieves.”Have a good rest tonight, and I will reward you for your merits when you return to the capital." Please remember to bookmark it.
