History of Cannon Fodder Struggle [Qing]

After Zhang Tingyu left, Fourth Master got up and walked to Minning's side and hugged her shoulders, "What's the matter, why are you so angry today?"

After these years of self-cultivation, he has rarely seen her grumpy.

The anger in Minning's heart surged upwards. Seeing Fourth Master's soft voice, she suppressed her anger and said, "It's okay, I just think about that experience when I was a child."

The fourth master understood that Minning's childhood experience was not good, he had been kidnapped, if he hadn't met him back then, he might have fallen into the land of fireworks.

No wonder those words were so harsh just now, it turned out that he was thinking of the past.

Fourth Master grabbed her shoulders, let her head rest on his chest, patted her hand and said, "Okay, okay, these things are over, don't think about it anymore, since you want to change the status of women , I still can’t do it according to you.”

The anger in Minning's heart gradually subsided, and she raised her head to look at him, "I was also wrong just now, I shouldn't have said so many words to Mr. Zhang Ge, wouldn't it scare him?" What she just said was too outrageous.

The fourth master continued to hold her hand and said, "Don't worry, Zhang Tingyu is a smart person. He was able to get to where he is today not because of Zhang Ying, but because of himself. He knows what to say and what not to say." .”

Minning let out a "huh" and leaned peacefully in Fourth Master's arms, "I know that the implementation of the Marriage Law is not reliable at all. I just want to give women a hope. With the support of the law, men will not marry women." As a commodity, you can sell your wife at will."

Thinking of this, Minning raised his head and continued, "You abolished slavery a few years ago. It's a good thing, but there are policies and countermeasures. For example, changing the contract of prostitution to a contract of decades is not slavery in disguise. Why not? Why don’t we change these things and change the contract to a maximum of 20 years. It’s better to crack down on human trafficking, as anyone involved in human trafficking is a crime.”

Fourth Master frowned, "But I remember that under your name, don't you have many people who bought people from neighboring countries and sent them to factories in Qing Dynasty to work?"

Minning sat up straight and looked at him, "Why are you looking for a loophole on my side now?" Then she broke up with the fourth master, "This is not called buying and selling people, it is called labor export, and the people who belong to the country are willing to confess to me. Send some workers to earn foreign exchange. What's more, this is a contract, but there is no restriction on people not being able to return to the country."

"What's more, the laws of my Qing Dynasty can only govern the people of the Qing Dynasty. Others' vassal states have their own laws. We can't forcibly interfere in their internal affairs."

Fourth Master scratched her nose with a smile, "Arrogance." That being said, it was impossible for Fourth Master to feel wronged for the people who belonged to the country, who told them not to be members of the Qing Dynasty.

The next time Minning suddenly thought of something, he asked Fourth Master, "Didn't it mean that my Qing Dynasty is short of population now?"

Thinking of this, the fourth master became a little worried, "It is a little difficult to transport food from the Americas, but last year alone, according to statistics, there were 800 million newborns, and it may be more than a year in the future. , Thinking about the need to feed so many mouths in the next ten years, this little food will not be enough after the Qing Dynasty.”

"There is land, but the factories compete with the land for manpower. Many tenants are unwilling to farm the land and have gone to the factories. Nothing can be seen right now. As time goes by, the current food supply will not be able to feed so many people. "

This is what the fourth master is worried about. Now the Qing Dynasty needs population, but it will take more than ten years for the new population to grow up. The food in the past ten years has to be filled into so many mouths, so he urgently needs population. , What is urgently needed is labor force, who can farm the land and enter the factory.

He intends to do both in commercial farming.

Minning propped his chin, and pondered for a while, "I do know that there is a piece of land that can meet the current food needs of the Qing Dynasty."

"Where?" Fourth master immediately chased after her and asked.

Minning pointed to the east direction, "Northeast, our hometown, that place is black soil, which is fertile and has accumulated fertility for thousands of years. Although it is colder than the south, but two or three seasons a year rice, but we can produce a lot of more food for nothing if we only grow one season’s food.”

The fourth master immediately frowned and thought about it. During the reign of the Supreme Emperor, some people had been relocated to the Northeast, but only a few people moved there, and most of the land was abandoned.

The main reason is that the Northeast has always been regarded as the ancestral land of the Qing Dynasty, where the dragon veins gather, so it was naturally circled by the imperial court.

Fourth Master shook his head and said, "No, there is a shortage of people everywhere nowadays, how can people be relocated from other provinces?"

Minning nodded his chin and gave him an idea, "If you agree to develop the Northeast, I promise to help you find people."

The fourth master naturally agreed that the ancestral land must be protected, but it is also very important to satisfy the Qing Dynasty with so many mouths. If it is not done well, people will go crazy when they are hungry, so it doesn't matter what country or family.

Except for foreign invasions, most of the dynasties that changed on this land were due to land mergers, which forced the common people to lose their lives, and this led to the country's demise.

It's just planting food on the ancestral land, not breaking the dragon's veins, the fourth master thinks it's feasible.

Minning gave him another good idea, "Isn't he rectifying the army recently? It just happened to be dragged to the northeast. The conditions in that place are harsh, and it is sure to be able to sharpen strong men. By the way, let the army garrison on the spot. With the army, there must be commercial needs, and if some merchants are attracted to trade, the people will be attracted to settle in the past. With this starting point, we cannot manage well. Also, our scholars in the Qing Dynasty are too weak, how can we It is important to support the country’s prosperity, and it will take at least one or two years for the imperial court to issue a notice that the scholars of the entire Qing Dynasty will go to support the Northeast. After a long time, won’t the Northeast side rise up?”

"The Northeast is our hometown, so we need to manage it well. In case, what I mean is, in case one day our Manchus are driven back to our hometown by the Han people, then one-third of an acre of land is enough for us to manage by ourselves."

The fourth master snorted coldly, "What nonsense are you talking about? How could we be driven back to our hometown by the Han people?"

Minning shut his mouth and did not speak.

In fact, Fourth Master also knew in his heart that both the Supreme Emperor and he were very wary of the Han people, because they were aliens, and they were always worried that the Han people would drive them out of the Central Plains.

Didn't the tragedy of Prince Zhu's family touch the sensitive nerves of the Supreme Emperor?

However, Minning's proposed development of Northeast China really tickled fourth master's heart.

Instead of keeping the barren land of Dongdong, it is better to develop it. If the Northeast is as prosperous as the south of the Yangtze River, even if the Manchus are driven back to their hometown by the Han people in a hundred years, so what?Relying on the prosperity of the Northeast, it is enough to leave a way out for future generations.

Even if you can't be an emperor, you can be a rich man.

The fourth master suddenly thought of something and asked Minning, "Did you plan ahead?" Otherwise, the railway track would not be built in the northeast. Now the important cities in the northeast have been connected, and the trains have begun to pass up.

Minning shook her head, of course she didn't admit it, "It's nothing." Well, this is indeed one of her plans.

The fourth master glanced at her, "Okay, I will report to the Supreme Emperor Ming first, and if he agrees, I will discuss it with the courtiers."

The fourth master thought that just leaving a way out for future generations would be enough to convince the Supreme Emperor. As for the Manchu ministers, they would definitely agree, and Han Chen's opinions could be completely ignored.

Let Minning go back, Fourth Master stayed in the study and began to study ink, sometimes inspiration bursts out in his mind, after Minning's previous suggestions, Fourth Master has decided to come up with several regulations for developing the Northeast.

After finishing writing and clearing up his thoughts, Fourth Master drove Changchun Garden.

In Changchun Garden, the Supreme Emperor was leisurely playing poker with the triplets, and there was a pile of gold and silver coins with the Supreme Emperor's head on the corner of the table.

These were sent to the Supreme Emperor years ago, and they cannot be spent, but they have a certain collection value.

When the fourth master came over, the triplets saw the poker cards in their hands and threw them away, "Khan Ama?"

Fourth Master looked at the three children but frowned, "I remember today is the day of class, why didn't you guys go to school?"

Although the triplets said they lived in Changchun Garden to accompany the Supreme Emperor, they still had to go to school every day.

Now is really a tense time for the three children to be promoted to the intermediate college. They have to take the entrance examination in one month. For these three children, this time should be very tight. Why are they still staying in Changchun Garden to fish in troubled waters.

As a prince and princess, if you can't even pass a simple entrance exam, it would be a shame.

The fourth master had to take time out of his busy schedule to pay attention to the studies of several children, even the two children Hongli and Hongzhou, not to mention the triplets.

It’s just that Hong Xuan is the only triplet who doesn’t need to worry about his studies. Hong Hao and Tian Tian’s studies are simply scumbags.

The fourth master even wondered if Hong Xuan absorbed all the good things when he was in An Jia's stomach, which made his sister and brother so clumsy.

Fortunately, after An Jia's inspection, fourth master was relieved.It's not that the two children are not smart, but that being smart doesn't have to be on the right track.

In the children's academy, the two children are simply the devil kings of the world. They only want to have fun, and they can mess with their studies as long as they can.

Fortunately, there is no need for two children to inherit any family business. It is said that the nine sons of Longsheng are different, and not every child is as outstanding as Hong Kyung.

However, Minning has already issued an order. The schoolwork for children is relatively simple and you can mix it up. It will not be easy when you enter a secondary school. At that time, you will be thrown directly into the school for a closed education.

Fourth master didn't know what closed education was, but he could tell it was definitely not a good word, so he immediately turned a blind eye to the current situation of the three children.

The triplets push me and I push you, but in the end they are not afraid of the fourth master's sweetness and say, "Khan Ama, the third brother came to our academy yesterday, and he is going to collect a venue for a college football competition. There are two days off at the academy."

The corners of Fourth Master's eyes twitched, and he made up his mind that he would call that kid Hongshi over later and ask him what he did?

Fourth Master did not continue to look after the three children, but greeted the Supreme Emperor.

The Supreme Emperor screamed, stretched out his hand to put away all the messy playing cards on the table, and then asked the three children with a smile.

"Do you want gold coins?"

The triplets immediately gathered around after hearing this, "If you want to, Huang Mafa is the best of you."

After hearing this, the Supreme Emperor happily distributed the gold coins to the three children, "Okay, you all go out to play, Huang Mafa wants to talk to you, Ah Ma, about something."

The triplets clenched the gold coins in their hands, smiled happily, and ran away holding hands.

When the three children had run away, the smile on the Supreme Emperor's face disappeared, he got up and walked slowly towards Qingxi Bookstore.

Fourth Master hurriedly followed.

"After all, what's the matter?" The Supreme Emperor sat down first, and Liang Jiugong offered a cup of tea at the right time.

The fourth master coughed, and Liang Jiugong immediately moved a stool. After the fourth master sat down, he waved his hand, and Liang Jiugong retreated outside the door wisely.

The Supreme Emperor saw this series of actions, but did not say anything.

When there was no one in the bookstore, the fourth master took out the lottery tickets in one tray. The Supreme Emperor was a little moved when he heard it. Although he was old and didn't care much about political affairs, he still had vision. How could he not see the huge profits of this lottery.

"How do you not know if someone will deliberately get out the number and intercept the lottery prize?"

The fourth master said: "If you go back to Huang Ama, my son can't guarantee it. My son thinks so. After a new thing is created, someone will definitely study it and find loopholes. But our court is not static. , can gradually improve these loopholes, and minimize all bad influences."

Speaking of this, Fourth Master said in a low voice: "Besides, the prize money of the lottery is just a drop in the bucket compared to the amount of each lottery. These prize money can attract people to buy lottery tickets continuously." Anyway, it only costs two yuan. It costs only two pennies to make copper coins.

Generally, if you go out to gamble, you don't bring two pennies to play.

The Supreme Emperor nodded, "If you think it's feasible, do it. Anyway, I won't live for a few years. Even if I stop you now, who can stop me after I die."

The fourth master's expression changed, he immediately got up and knelt down and said, "Khan Amahe deserves to live a long life, my son never thinks of that."

The Supreme Emperor snorted, "Why are you making such a gesture? One dies sooner or later, how can everyone live a long life? What's more, as an emperor, my age now belongs to the longest-lived emperors of all dynasties. I think that choosing a good successor for the Qing Dynasty is worthy of the ancestors of the past generations."

Fourth master's heart moved, did this approve him?

Fourth Master was overjoyed, and then his nose was sore, he knelt and climbed a few steps forward to hug the Taishanghuang's leg.

"Khan Ama, my son will definitely live up to your great trust. I only have one hope, and that is that you can live a long life. My son also needs you to guide his way forward."

The Supreme Emperor felt a little soft in his heart, it was rare for the fourth child to make such a gesture, and patted his head, the Supreme Emperor said helplessly: "Okay, I'm already in my 40s, what's the childish gesture?"

Fourth master showed shame on his face, wiped his face, stood up and sat down again.

"There is one more thing my son wants to ask Khan Ama."

The Supreme Emperor raised his head slightly and said, "Speak."

Fourth Master collected his thoughts and said, "My son plans to grow rice in the three provinces of Liaodong."

The Supreme Emperor felt that he was whimsical, "Do you know that the three provinces of Liaodong spend more than half of the year dripping into ice, which is not suitable for growing food at all."

The fourth master explained his reasons, "My son thinks that no matter how cold Liaodong is, there will still be times when the climate is warm. Didn't no one in the capital dare to grow rice before? It's Khan Ama who ordered people to grow rice in the capital. The common people followed suit. The climate in the east of the capital is similar to that of the capital, and my son thinks it is also suitable for growing rice. Even if there are only three months of warm weather in a year, it is enough to plant a season of rice. Not to mention that the generation of Liaodong has been growing rice for thousands of years. The fertility of the land has not been consumed, this is a piece of fertile land, and a straw can be planted to survive. My son has thought about this, if the entire Liaodong is developed, so let me add half of the grain for no reason."

Liaodong has a vast territory. If all of it is developed to grow food, it will definitely be comparable to the output of Jiangnan. Don't forget that the land in Jiangnan has been planted for thousands of years, while Liaodong is still a virgin land.

Although the Supreme Emperor agreed with what he said, he still raised his own question, "How to solve the manpower problem?"

At that time, the Supreme Emperor had already relocated part of the population from other provinces. The Supreme Emperor originally thought of which provinces could still transfer the population there.

The fourth master said his own idea, "My son plans to move the soldiers of the Eight Banners to hoard the fields first. The three provinces in Liaodong have already been connected by trains. These grains can be taken to Shengjing, and from Shengjing to the capital." Why not in the capital? The construction of the railway is nothing more than the fact that the capital is the capital of the Qing Dynasty. Everything here must be carefully considered and considered. The imperial court will not approve the construction of railway tracks in the capital unless everything is safe.

The Supreme Emperor shook his head and said, "This method is not advisable. If the soldiers of the Eight Banners know that they are being transferred to a place of bitter cold, it may cause a mutiny in the barracks."

Fourth Master's face was serious, thinking of this possibility, his face became ugly.

"Then clear out the entire barracks!" Fourth Master gritted his teeth and said.

The Supreme Emperor got up and walked over to pat the fourth master on the shoulder, "Fourth brother, this matter is of great importance. If you want to develop the ancestral land, it is of great importance. You have to obtain the consent of the clan." That place is not just the Aixinjueluo family The hometown is still the hometown of various big families in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the development of other people's hometowns must first settle the people.

The fourth master gave his reasons, "The reason why my son transformed the three provinces of Liaodong into a land of fish and rice is because he has his own reasons."

The Supreme Emperor put his hands behind his back, "Tell me about it."

The fourth master only uttered one sentence, "My son wants to mobilize the power of the whole country to reform the three provinces of Liaodong, and find a way out for the Qing Dynasty."

The Taishanghuang's pupils shrank suddenly, he didn't expect the fourth son's pursuit to be so far-reaching.

"Are you not optimistic about my Qing Dynasty controlling the Central Plains?"

The fourth master smiled wryly, cupped his hands and said, "My son can only pursue the present age. As for the descendants of future generations, maybe one generation will have an unworthy descendant and lose the country. The reason why the barren land of the three provinces of Liaodong was developed is that I hope to leave a retreat for future generations. Even if I lose the throne, I can return to my hometown."

The Supreme Emperor started to walk around the room, groaning as he walked, and finally stood still in front of the fourth master, "Since you want to do this, I will naturally support it. As for the clan and other Manchu surnames, I still have an old bone to help you." Get rid of those obstacles."

The fourth master was overjoyed, and immediately knelt down on one knee and said, "My son thanked Ama Khan here."

The Supreme Emperor frowned deeply, this matter is not easy to handle.

Here, the fourth master was sensational and eloquent, and finally encouraged the Supreme Emperor to help as a shield.

On the other hand, Hong Kyung, who is located in the south of the Yangtze River, is having a hard time.

Hong Kyung came out this time mainly to increase his experience, because Uncle Jiu was there, he completely regarded this trip as a special trip, and he didn't think he could intervene at all.

However, what I didn't expect was that shortly after arriving in Jiangnan, a big situation appeared.

All the salt merchants in the south of the Yangtze River gathered to oppose the imperial court, and even the local officials secretly tipped off the news.

Uncle Jiu and Li Wei were busy dealing with this matter, and Hong Jing suddenly became idle and went out for a stroll.

Fortunately, he and Uncle Jiu were divided into two teams and had never been in contact with each other, so no one connected him with the imperial envoy sent by the imperial court.

This wandering around was followed by people. After all, he spoke fluent Beijing dialect, so it was hard not to make people suspect his origin.

Hong Jing soon left Haining County and went to Jiaxing, just to avoid being implicated in Uncle Jiu.

However, as soon as he arrived in Jiaxing, Hong Kyung found himself being followed.

"Look for an inn to stay at first." Hong Kyung didn't intend to continue to leave, but waited to stay where he was and wanted to see who was staring at him all the time.

Hong Kyung didn't have any eunuchs around him, and all the people around him were people who belonged to the sticky pole.

A young man was followed by several guards, and he could tell at a glance that he came from a big family.

There are no big families in Jiaxing, and the real big families are all gathered in Suzhou and Hangzhou.

It's just that this is the junction of the Yangtze River, and many forces that often walk along the Yangtze River have set up a foothold here.

Hong Kyung barged in like a fat sheep. Many people turned their eyes on him, sharpening their knives eagerly to make a fortune.

Young masters like this who don't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth, and roam the rivers and lakes are the most welcome.

Hong Kyung found an inn that looked clean and tidy, and stayed there.

While he was planning to find out who was staring at him, he was also planning to wait for Uncle Jiu in Jiaxing.

Haining belongs to the county below Jiaxing, and the situation there will spread to Jiaxing sooner or later.

What's more, now that Jiaxing's port is tightly controlled by the imperial court, Hongkyung doesn't worry about his personal safety at all when he lives in Jiaxing.

"They're going to find out who is staring at us." After checking into the inn, Hong Kyung told the people around him.

After the people retreated, Hong Kyung spread out a piece of paper and began to write what he had seen and heard during this period of time.

This is the task his mother entrusted to him. There is no need to do anything else, let alone interfere with what Uncle Jiu is doing. All he needs to do is write down what he has seen and heard during this period.

After returning to Beijing, Er Niang will test him.

Hong Kyung keeps this task firmly in his heart, and writes down everything that happened today during the rest time every day.

This time I recorded what I saw and heard on the way from Haining to Jiaxing.

"On the way to Jiaxing, my son found that the price of local official salt is too high, and private salt has a price advantage. In addition, during the Yongzheng period, the population has doubled compared to the early Kangxi years, and the demand for salt is increasing. This is why This leads to the flood of private salt, while the official salt is in a state of no one's interest..."

Hongkyung wrote down the reasons for the proliferation of private salt. The reason is that official salt is heavily taxed and the price is high. Because of market protection, some cheap official salt cannot enter a certain place, which leads to the proliferation of private salt.Coupled with population growth, the demand for salt also increased, which created the demand for private salt.

So if you really want to change the policy of the salt administration, you must first solve these two problems.

Hong Kyung is still very smart, and has a very unique perspective on things, which has something to do with the education he received since he was a child.

He knew that this time he was afraid of coming to the south of the Yangtze River, and he would definitely consider his handling of the salt administration when he returned, so even though he hadn't done anything since he came here, he still observed everywhere and kept everything in mind.

He stopped the pen in his hand, but after the page was dry, he turned to another page and continued writing.

He waited until he was almost done writing before putting away the notebook in his hand.

It was already evening at this time, and the kerosene lamps were already lit in the house.

Hong Jing was a little unaccustomed to it. Electric lights were turned on where he lived in Haining, but he didn’t expect that kerosene lamps were used here in Jiaxing.

Pursing his lips, Hong Kyung sent someone out to find out why.

After a while, the guards came in and said to him, "It was originally Jiaxing's turn to turn on the electricity, but the local forces in Jiaxing want to invest in the power plant. Naturally, the provincial government will not allow it, and the local forces will stop it. The quasi-power plant entered, and the matter was deadlocked. The reason why Haining County was connected to the electricity was moved from Yancheng. You also know that Yancheng is a place for drying salt, so the demand for electricity is a bit high. A power plant was specially built.”

Hong Kyung nodded, and then became puzzled again, "Who is this local power, who dares to fight against the government?"

The guard said, "The situation here in Jiaxing is complicated. It is located in the Yangtze River Delta, where forces from all over the country are rooted here. Some forces even have connections with the court and China. It is probably because they have a backing and are rushing to confront the government."

Hong Jing shook his head, "Things are not that simple. Even if there is support, he would not dare to work with the court in such an open manner, and this time he did not pass it to Beijing at all. There must be something hidden here in Jiaxing, and he does not want to be noticed by outsiders. This If the power plant is built, it will inevitably attract a large number of outsiders. Perhaps the government sent here before played a double play with Jiaxing, and took advantage of the opportunity to prevent the power plant from entering Jiaxing."

The guard said, "I'm really like this, Jiaxing is in danger, master, why don't we leave first."

Hong Jing said, "If you don't enter the Tiger Mountain, you won't get a tiger cub. What's more, these are just my guesses. If you want to explore the bottom of Jiaxing, you can see what invisible things are hidden here."

The guard looked troubled. For him, his main responsibility was to protect the safety of the third prince, and it was his negligence to put the third prince in danger.

It's a pity that Hong Jing will not listen to persuasion at all. It happens that Uncle Jiu is attracting attention from Haining, so he can also find out in Jiaxing.

After making a decision, Hong Kyung took action and listened to the news in teahouses and restaurants for several days.

Even ran to the flower boat on the river.

It's a pity that despite such a warning, there is still no major breakthrough?

In the end, Hong Kyung even made up his mind and decided to take the risk by himself, to see the bottom of those people for himself.

Within two days, the news of Hongjing's disappearance quickly spread to Haining County. After receiving the news, Lord Jiu acted as if his parents had died, and hurriedly sent his men to Jiaxing to search, while sending letters to Feige in the capital.

Before the carrier pigeon reached Beijing, Zheng Jun from Jiangnan got the news first.

That night, he began to mobilize manpower and rushed to Jiaxing overnight.

At the same time, the forces in Jiaxing also found that there were many new faces in Jiaxing, and these people shrunk their necks.

If it is still possible to dominate the local area, then for these overlords in the south of the Yangtze River, the local forces in Jiaxing are not worth mentioning.

Immediately, some gossip spread secretly throughout Jiaxing.

"I heard that the son of a rich family in the south of the Yangtze River disappeared in Jiaxing."

"No wonder there are so many people looking for it. I heard that the largest and largest Tiger Power Gang in Jiaxing also helped to find it."

"I remember that the Huwei gang took refuge in the Huo family in Jiangnan. The one who lost this time should not be the young master of the Huo family, right?"

"No, but it's not too far off. I heard that it's the cousin of the Huo family. He's a son from the capital. Then he disappeared suddenly when he was playing in Jiaxing. Huo Huo was alarmed."

The Huo family is a behemoth that has suddenly risen in the past decade or so. It owns land, countless factories, and supports at least hundreds of thousands of workers and tenants.

He is well-known here in the south of the Yangtze River. Even when he went to the Yamen, he was regarded as a guest of honor, and he was secretly called Huo Huohu.

Of course, this has no derogatory meaning. Even if the Huo family made money, they would spend a large sum of money every year to build bridges and roads in the south of the Yangtze River, build a nursing home, build a children's academy, and recruit children from ordinary farmers to go to school for free.

It can be said that it is a living Bodhisattva in the entire south of the Yangtze River.

Huo Huo Huo, this sentence means that the Huo family is a big tiger entrenched in the south of the Yangtze River. With such a tiger, it can protect the people.

Not only are the various forces murmuring, even the forces that kidnapped Hong Kyung before feel a lot of pressure.

I thought it was just a rich man from out of town, so if he was tied up, he would be tied up, but what I didn't expect was that this rich man had such a big background, related to the Huo family.

There are two giants in Jiangnan, one is the Huo family in Jinling, and the other is the Zheng family in Hangzhou. These two are evenly matched, and occasionally cooperate and occasionally fight.

No one can figure out this kind of situation of being both an enemy and a friend.

However, when faced with a threat, the two will join forces to eliminate the opponent, so many people understand that as long as one of them is offended, the other is offended.

Perhaps these two are just businessmen, but the basic necessities of life in Jiangnan cannot be separated from the relationship between these two.

As long as one of them is offended, it is best for this person to leave Jiangnan, otherwise the lack of food, clothing, housing and transportation will make life difficult in the future.

"Don't worry, all the traces are wiped clean, I think the Huo family can't find out that we have arrested someone." The force that captured Hong Jing was still thinking about luck.

If they could, they would have handed him over a long time ago, but they took him out of Jiaxing overnight on the night they caught him.

Hong Kyung knew nothing about the turmoil in Jiaxing.

When he was caught, he didn't resist, and let the hidden guards around him quietly follow, just as he also wanted to meet the messenger behind the scenes, so he pretended to be true.

However, what he expected was that he was sent out of Jiaxing overnight, and he was stuffed in the dark cabin of a cargo ship, only listening to the merchants coming and going on the ship.

It can be regarded as a catastrophe for Hong Jing. The most difficult life for him growing up was nothing more than a few years ago when he lived with Hong Shi in a small house in the capital. abdomen.

Then this time it was stuffed into the dark cabin of the cargo ship, because the kidnappers didn't come during the day because they wanted to avoid people's eyes and ears.

Only two pieces of hard steamed rice buns with mixed noodles were given at night, and they were eaten with half a bowl of hot water.

Besides, eating, drinking and drinking were all in the dark cabin, and after only staying for two days, Hong Kyung was almost driven crazy.

He really wanted to run, but he didn't know what medicine the gangster gave him, which made his whole body weak and he couldn't use his strength at all.

Fortunately, on the night of the third day, he was taken to the upper cabin, and Hong Kyung understood that he planned to take him down quietly at the next ferry.

When the gangsters went out in the daytime, Hong Jing finally saw the anxious dark guard, he was relieved to be relieved, fortunately the dark guard did not lose him.

He comforted and persuaded Hong Jing to leave, but was rejected by Hong Jing. He wanted to see who was so bold as to kidnap a prince elder brother?

The hidden guards had no choice but to pass on the news secretly, and recruit the people near the sticky poles to protect the safety of the third prince.

At the same time, the letter sent by Jiu Ye Feige to the capital was also handed over to Si Ye's desk.

Fourth master tore open the letter without paying attention.

His face looked gloomy, and the cabinet ministers who were discussing below couldn't help but stop talking.

The fourth master understands that the most important thing now is to cover up the news of Hong Kyung's disappearance, otherwise, if the rebels and people with good intentions learn that Hong Kyung is now in the south of the Yangtze River, that would be the worst situation.
