Bright Spring

The feeling in the dream is different from that in the waking state.The time and scenes in the dream are flowing and jumping, which makes all kinds of feelings clearer; and when I am awake, I pay more attention to what is in front of me.

He seemed to see his late father, who had a sad look on his face, faintly telling that his death was as light as a feather.It was as if he saw Chen Xianzhen again, she was a little girl in a white dress for a while, and a beautiful woman for a while.One moment Ruan Jingyi thought it was beautiful, but the next moment she suddenly pulled out a dagger without warning, and pierced Ruan Jingyi's heart | Mouth: Dreaming!To live is to sin.

"Ah..." Ruan Jingyi woke up suddenly, opened his eyes and saw the face of a strange man.After a while, he found a Ming army general standing in front of him.

The general said: "General Ruan, what's the matter?"

Ruan Jingyi sat up, looked around and said, "I've traveled a long way, I was too tired and fell asleep just now."

The general nodded and said: "This general is called Huang Zhong. According to Marshal Zhang, Marshal of Xincheng, I invite General Ruan to meet you in the study."

Ruan Jingyi stood up, cupped his fists and said, "Obey."

"Please." Huang Zhong said a word, walked in front, and left the corridor with Ruan Jingyi.

One after the other, they walked north along the road, and then entered a corridor built in the yard.

There seemed to be a thunderstorm in Dongguan a few days ago, and the grass and trees in the yard were lush; the weeds also took advantage of the situation, and they were brightly colored under the bright sun, but the painted corridors looked old and dull.The terrain of Dongguan is flat, but the dense vegetation and house walls block the view, and the view is not wide, and the boring singing of summer insects is still pervasive.

A gust of wind blew by, bringing with it the mixed smell of heat waves under the scorching sun and vegetation and soil.Everything is very familiar, after all, Ruan Jingyi grew up in An Nanguo.

However, the familiarity did not make him feel friendly, but rather bored.That is, there is nothing interesting to look forward to, nothing to make him happy, things are familiar but not interesting.

After a while, the two walked into the study.There was only one person inside. He was wearing a red robe, with curly hair and no hat. He was tall and tall. He was probably Xincheng Hou Zhangfu.Zhang Fu turned his back to the door, staring out the window in a daze, he didn't even seem to notice that someone came in.

Huang Zhongzhi said politely, "Commander, Ruan Jingyi has arrived."

Zhang Fu turned around and glanced at Ruan Jingyi.Ruan Jingyi also cupped his fists and bowed, "Meet Marshal Zhang."

"Okay, okay. Sit down." Zhang Fu said, looking indifferent.It seems that Zhang Fu feels the same as Ruan Jingyi, and there is nothing interesting about it.

Ruan Jingyi said: "Thank you, Marshal, for your appreciation."

Without a word of politeness, Zhang Fu asked directly, "What are your plans after General Ruan returns?"

Ruan Jingyi was stunned for a moment: "But let the commander handle it."

Zhang Fu said: "The Holy Majesty didn't punish you, and the general can't do anything to you, don't worry. If you don't want to do anything, you can leave tomorrow."

"What else can I do?" Ruan Jingyi asked.

The tone of the Chinese he speaks is still different from that of Zhang Fu and others.He used to be able to barely speak Chinese, and he was also able to read and write; a while ago, he went to the capital for a while, and then returned with the eunuch Jin Yiwei for thousands of miles, and his Chinese became more and more fluent.

Zhang Fu pondered for a moment, then said: "We have to find a way and do something. Your family in Qinghua no longer exists. I heard that all the servants and relatives of the Ruan family have dispersed. Some may return to their ancestral home, and some may escape. I went to another place to hide my name."

Zhang Fu paused, and then explained: "We are busy dealing with the remnants of the rebel army, and we don't care about your family members. Those who invaded the Ruan family's property, plundered|robbed slaves and maidservants, and bullied the Ruan family's relatives are all local big families Those Annan people have nothing to do with the Ming Dynasty's army. General Ruan can go and inquire at that time to verify whether what the general said is true."

Ruan Jingyi's expression darkened for a while, "Perhaps, I've always been an outsider. It's a bit ridiculous to think that I was still young before."

After listening, Zhang Fu observed him for a while, then thought about something silently.

After a while, Ruan Jingyi said again: "It turns out that there was a nobleman named Ruan Gonggui in the Chen Dynasty. When the Hu family was in chaos, he first joined the Hu family. Of course, he didn't do anything good under the Hu family. Ruan Gonggui Gong Gui was famous for being arrogant|extravagant|excessive|yielding, and later defected to the Ming army. People in Annan were very shameless towards him, and I used to treat him that way; but now it seems that Ruan Gonggui may be the one who understands. "

Zhang Fudao: "Ruan Gonggui is dying now, he has no money to enjoy, and he doesn't have much power, so he just sits and eats with the rest of his family property. The Ming court also hopes that the Annan people will abandon the dark and turn to the bright, but there are so many benefits in Annan, it is impossible Distributed to those who are useless and just willing to take refuge. On the contrary, Ruan Zhi, a fellow of Ruan Gonggui, because of his contribution to the court, is now the magistrate of Dongguan Mansion and one of the confidantes of the Empress Dowager Chen."

Ruan Jingyi nodded: "That's the truth."

Zhang Fu went on to say: "Ruan Zhi used to be a man who couldn't write poems, and couldn't fight wars. He had nothing but a little human relationship. He entrusted Ruan Gonggui's relatives to become a low-level general, but he ended up doing a mess. But Look at the current Ruan Zhi, as long as he can do good things, he can be regarded as an important minister in An Nanguo.

And with your aptitude, ability and status, if you can make a great contribution, your future will be limitless, and you should have a wider path than Ruan Zhi. "

When Ruan Jingyi heard this, he was a little tempted: "What does the commander want me to do?"

Zhang Fu didn't answer for a while, and said again: "There is not only one lady from the Chen clan, a beauty that everyone admires and covetously, in Annan Kingdom. Why don't General Ruan change his mind, when you have power, whoever is not up to you Selection? There are no outsiders here, so I will tell the truth, even if a person like Ruan Zhi falls in love with a reluctant woman, it is nothing serious to do something evil by force, understand? Of course he There should be no need to act like this, there are all kinds of beauties|wives and willing people, if General Ruan doesn't meet the one he likes, it's because he is not strong enough."

Ruan Jingyi knew that Zhang Fu was talking about Chen Xianzhen, he thought about it, and nodded vigorously.

Zhang Fu suddenly asked: "How dare you deal with Li Li?"

Ruan Jingyi was stunned for a while, then said, "How?"

Zhang Fudao: "Try to gain his trust, get close to him, and then cooperate with our guards in the North Office of the Imperial Bureau and the Jinyiwei to report the news; or if there is a chance to chop off the head and bring it back, it's all okay. As long as Li Li dies, the first merit is counted as Ruan. General."

Ruan Jingyi didn't answer right away, because he just learned about it, so he immediately thought about it.

Zhang Fu said again: "After General Ruan was escorted back to Beijing, the matter of being forgiven by the Holy Majesty has not been published in official documents. The people who handled this matter were either the Holy Majesty's confidants, civil and military officials, or special yamen in the court, such as the Supervisor of Rites, The North Office of the Guardian Division, Jin Yiwei, etc. Li Li had no way of knowing such news because he was hiding in the mountainous area.

General Ruan used to be a high-ranking person on Chen Jikuo's side. He is not comparable to the grassroots leaders under Li Li's command, but he is the general that Li Li desperately needs.If you go for refuge, you will almost certainly be reused.As General Ruan, he is a member of the rebel army, so he is easy to be trusted and attracted by Li Li. "

Ruan Jingyi frowned, thinking hard.The previous boring state of mind no longer exists, replaced by a feeling of tension. Sure enough, the man still has to do important things so that he will not be so depressed.

Zhang Fu then said in a deep voice: "We can also cooperate with General Ruan to make it easier for you to gain Li Li's trust. When Liu Sheng escorted the prisoners back to the country, a rebel general committed suicide by diving into the river. The corpse was found downstream. But ordinary soldiers don’t know about the corpse. We can make up a story, say that two people jumped into the river, one died and the other disappeared, and that person is you.”

Ruan Jingyi nodded subconsciously when he heard this.

Zhang Fu said: "We can also spread the news that you may have fled back to An Nanguo."

Ruan Jingyi asked nervously, "Even if I get to Li Li, what can I do?"

Zhang Fu immediately said: "The North Department of the Defense Department will set up strongholds in the counties and counties in the western mountainous area, and maintain the number of pigeons raised in Dongguan. As long as there is news, the few elite teams we deploy will be able to support Ruan. General. As for what to do, it depends on what opportunities General Ruan can encounter, and you can only make a decisive decision."

The two were silent for a while, and Zhang Fu sighed again: "It's the same as leading troops to fight. Even if a famous general leads the troops, how can he manage the tactics of a team of hundreds of households on a certain hillside? Isn't it only possible to rely on The military commander in it makes the decision."

Ruan Jingyi frowned and said, "Let me think about it for a while."

Zhang Fu said: "There is no hurry, but General Ruan is not going out for the time being. I thought it was a little bit good, the most important issue is General Ruan's loyalty. If you let the tiger into the mountain, we will not be able to catch you again. But General Ruan should think twice, if you betray, the Dudu Mansion will reveal that you are a spy; if you are not willing, no one will force you."

"I am willing!" Ruan Jingyi said suddenly.

Zhang Fu asked seriously: "I really think about it?"

Ruan Jingyi nodded and said, "What can Li Li give me? What can the Ming court give me?"

Zhang Fu smiled and nodded lightly: "He who understands current affairs is a brilliant man."

Ruan Jingyi sneered, "I should have abandoned them a long time ago." Zhang Fu immediately asked, "Who are 'they'?" Ruan Jingyi said, "The world."

Chapter 778

The eunuch Meng Ji and his party traveled lightly and traveled back and forth to Annan Kingdom on horseback, which should be relatively fast.But Meng Ji and others may stay in An Nanguo, and they will return to Beijing after learning about the local situation.

So the navy who conquered Tsushima Island first sent the memorial back to the capital instead.

The eunuch Zhou Quan, military general Wan Liang and others who went north went to conquer the Japanese pirates and the Zong family of Tsushima, and everything went relatively smoothly.All civil and military forces have begun to build a fort on Tsushima Island, and more than [-] Lu divisions have occupied and guarded that place.

Wan Liang stated in the memorial that there is not much land available for cultivation near Tsushima Port; while the cultivated land in other parts of the island is relatively scattered, scattered in valleys, making it inconvenient for farming.Therefore, the five hundred-household teams stationed on Tsushima Island could not obtain enough food on the spot if they were stationed for a long time.

Two methods are suggested in the memorial.One is to send food and supplies from North Korea on a regular basis by naval ships; the other is to abolish some of the officers and troops who have landed on the island.
