After watching the guards from the Clan Mansion escort Yue Le away, Wang Xu and his party boarded the ferry again, and under the escort of ten small boats from the Qing Army Navy, sailed to the south with the north wind, towards Wuchang, which was occupied by the Wu Army. city. Accompanying him, apart from Xiong Cilu and Kong Sizhen, the two deputies sent by Kang Mazi to Wang Xu, there were Zhou Chang, Zhou Peigong, a talented Qing scholar who volunteered to be Wang Xu's lobbyist and debater, and the traitorous daughter-in-law, Princess Jianning. With his second grandson, Wu Shilin, and the victim sent by Kang Mazi to avenge the old traitor Wu, the murderer who 'killed' the eldest son of the old traitor Wu, Wu Yingxiong¡ªthe eleven wives, concubines and children of Aobai!
Because old traitor Wu had already been sent to inform in advance, as soon as Wang Xu and others landed, Wu Yingqi, Hu Guozhu, Xia Guoping and other son-in-laws of old traitor Wu, as well as traitor Wu's relatives such as Wu Yingjing and Fatty Lu, had already rushed to the shore. Arrive at the pier to welcome the marquis¡ªof course, Kang Mazi's envoys definitely did not have such a big face, the old traitor Wu sent them to welcome his daughter-in-law and grandson.
Prior to this, Princess Jianning and Wu Yingxiong had returned to Yunnan Province to kiss once, and they were quite familiar with the nephew, nephew and son-in-law of the old traitor Wu. When my nephew met, he couldn't help crying. It was also at this moment that Wu Yingqi, who is usually rude and rude, rarely showed some ordinary feelings. He hugged his little nephew Wu Shilin and wailed in public, crying bitterly for his dead brother's death; and it was not good to impress Fatty Lu Princess Jianning also wiped away her tears, constantly lamenting that Wu Shilin could be returned to the Pingxi Palace, and she could have an explanation to Wu Yingxiong even if she died, which made everyone in the Wu army weep.
"My lord, my lord, why did you just leave like this? You are called an official, and you are called a nephew. What should I do in the future? My lord"
When the cat was crying and the mouse was howling pretentiously with its fat head lowered, Fatty Lu's shoulder was suddenly patted lightly. Fatty Lu wiped away a handful of tears that were never worth anything. When he looked up, he was surprised to find that he was standing in front of him. Yes, it is my close friend, Mite Qing, who has saved my life, and the current minister of the Ministry of War¡ª¡ªWang Xu!
"Brother Zizhuan!" Fatty Lu yelled, without saying a word, he immediately bowed to the ground with his hands clasped together.
"Brother Sanhao." Wang Xu hurriedly bowed his hand to return the salute, and also touched the ground with a bow, and said excitedly: "My dear brother, please get rid of the courtesy! I haven't seen you for more than four years. Will you be safe again, my dear brother?"
When he was speaking, Wang Xu couldn't help but tears flickered in the corners of his eyes. These were real sad and emotional tears, not the hypocritical crocodile tears that Fatty Lu could burst out at any time. And Fatty Lu was rarely emotional, Mung Dou's small eyes glistened, and he said with a choked voice, "Brother Xie Zizhuan, I'm fine. Brother Zizhuan, you've lost weight again, and your braids have turned gray"
"Brother Sanhao, I'm not afraid of you laughing when I tell you." Wang Xu also confessed, and said with a wry smile: "Brother Yu's braids are partly because of you, Brother Yu. Brother Yu, you follow Prince Pingxi from the side of the Qing Dynasty. When he was in danger, he was ordered to be transferred to the Minister of the Ministry of War, and each was his own master. Brother Yu had to worry about how to defeat the virtuous brother during the day, dispatch troops, allocate money and food, and worry about the position and safety of the virtuous brother at night. , I can¡¯t figure it out.¡±
Wang Xu's words were frank, direct, and full of sincerity. Even though Fatty Lu had a different standpoint from him, he couldn't help but be extremely moved. He cupped his hands and bowed again, choked up and said: "My brother is not righteous, let brother Zizhuan work so hard for me, my brother capital offense."
"The three good virtuous brothers have already said that each is their own master. What is the fault of the virtuous brother?" Wang Xu hurriedly hugged Fatty Lu, and said happily with tears in his eyes: "It is my virtuous brother, this time, you let Brother Yu I was surprised again. I didn't expect that the virtuous brother is not only of high moral character, knowledgeable about heaven and man, but also majestic on the battlefield. At the time of the glorious record, I feel sorry for my virtuous brother, but I can't help being proud of my virtuous brother, and I admire my talent."
"Brother Zizhuan, thank you." Fatty Lu replied modestly: "My little brother just won a few small victories by chance, but Zizhuan, you are in the rear and dispatched money and grain troops. To be able to keep the people on the front line calm, to ensure that the soldiers on the front line have enough food and clothing, and that there is a steady stream of support is the real military and political talent. If my Pingxi Palace can have such a great talent as Brother Zizhuan, let alone Wuchang Mansion, it will be the city of Nanjing , We have already taken it down."
"Where are you talking?" Wang Xu shook his head and said sincerely: "Brother Yu is just taking advantage of manpower and material resources, so that he can barely protect the frontline soldiers from suffering from hunger and cold, but brother, you have repeatedly defeated the strong with the weak, and defeated the masses with the few. , this is the real genius! It is the blessing of the prince that Prince Pingxi can get an all-round talent like you, and he is also the old thief of Oboi.The prince is considerate of the difficulties of the court and will allow some time appropriately. "
"This is difficult." Hu Guozhu said in embarrassment: "Master Wang, I think you also know that Yunnan and Guizhou are both poor provinces in the Qing Dynasty, with weak financial resources. This time, to help the emperor and the court eradicate Oboi Traitor, our Pingxi Prince¡¯s Mansion has long been living without food, and we are stretched thin. We still owe countless money and food to the common people and merchants, and we owe countless pensions and silver taels to the soldiers who died in battle. We have agreed to pay them back within three months. If Mr. Wang wants us to If the prince grants time, then our prince will lose his trust in the world and feel ashamed of the people of Yunnan and Guizhou."
Wang Xu is an honest man, he was immediately speechless when Hu Guozhu pushed him like this, but Zhou Peigong next to him immediately said: "General Jin Wu's words are wrong, according to my humble opinion, if Prince Pingxi agrees to allow time, not only will he not I am ashamed of the people of Yunnan and Guizhou, and have broken the trust of the world. On the contrary, I will win the hearts of the people of Yunnan and Guizhou and the hearts of the world even more."
"How can you see that?" Hu Guozhu asked with a sneer.
"General Jinwu, don't worry, please listen to the humble official and speak slowly." Zhou Peigong smiled gently, cleared his throat, and said loudly: "Dare to ask General Jinwu, why did Prince Pingxi raise his troops? On the side of the Qing Dynasty, kill the traitors of Aobai and wipe out Aobai Worshiping the traitor party! And who did it, the current emperor, the Qing court, and the people of the Qing Dynasty all over the world! If you are humble, I would like to ask General Jinwu, the people of Yunnan, Guizhou, merchants, but the people of the emperor, the people of the Qing Dynasty?"
"So what?" Hu Guozhu asked with a sneer, but he secretly raised his vigilance in his heart, because Hu Guozhu has such a good niece and son-in-law, and every time he goes around like this, making Hu Guozhu dizzy and refuting. Speechless, forced to act according to words. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets.
