As a salted fish, I was forced to become the teacher of all ages

Nie Wenbing's eyes widened when he heard it halfway: "You...you are talking about this person..."

Hua Manlou ignored him, and said to himself: "This talented man's father is full of righteousness and strict control, so he didn't dare to talk about it with his father at all. And later this talented man I don't know why he didn't go to that small courtyard all of a sudden, so he didn't know until he hanged the southeast branch that the girl in the courtyard had a secret womb and gave birth to a son..."

Hearing this, Nie Wenbing grabbed Huamanlou's neck and said angrily, "How do you know about this? Did you do something secretly?"

Hua Manlou looked innocent: "He hates me, but I don't hate him, so what should I do? As for how to know... It's just because the rich man who was fawning on the big talent happened to have a good relationship with me, so he left the capital. He just said something to me while I was there. Originally, I didn’t bother to pay attention to it, but now that you’ve spent all the money, I’ll just tell you by the way. As for whether you want to do something, I don’t care.”

"...If what you said is true, I will only follow you from now on!"

408. Show off

What Hua Manlou said was the truth, because it was Gu Xinghuai, director of Xishan Trade Department, who told him about it.

Before the poetry meeting last year, Gu Xinghuai often invited Nie Yuantu to drink and play in the brothel in order to make friends with him. After a few visits, Nie Yuantu fell in love with a certain nobleman—you see, the essence of a man is like this, this guy is crying and saying He has a deep affection for Wen Liang, but he never refuses other girls, so Gu Xinghuai acted as a pimp once, redeemed it for the noble man, and gave Nie Yuantu a secluded courtyard.

Nie Yuantu didn't dare to let his father know about it, so Gu Xinghuai's people were in charge of the small courtyard's food and clothing expenses.Although Xiao Gu boarded Huamanlou's boat, this did not prevent him from forming a good relationship with Nie Yuantu, so even if he signed a contract with Huamanlou, he didn't specifically break the matter and draw a clear line until Nie Yuantu After Nie Wenbing and Hua Manlou got into a pinch, he felt the need to ask about the situation.

And Hua Manlou didn't care at all when he heard about it. After all, he and the Nie family really didn't have a deep hatred, why bother to kill them all?

But at that time, Hua Manlou was not in the mood to tell Nie Wenbing about the situation, and he didn't think of it until today.

And what...

Although Nie Wenbing seems to be eating vegetarian food and praying to Buddha now, who knows if this old man will jump out again in a foolish way to make things difficult for others?So Hua Manlou simply talked about the matter, so as to prevent this old man from getting blocked every time he thinks that he has no descendants, and then he will get a cerebral thrombosis and become a demon again.

And looking at Lao Nie's performance, he knew that after the trumpet training was abolished, he was overjoyed when a small trumpet suddenly appeared, so the hatred was insignificant.

Enemies should be resolved rather than knotted. With the full support of the Minister of Rites, the sea will be smoother and the dangers to avoid in the future will be less. Why not?

As for why you want to open the sea ban...

Huamanlou is actually too lazy to bother with these things, but Pingwa and Haiyun are one with Kaihai. If you only fight the Japanese pirates and ignore other things, the Japanese pirates will make a comeback in a short time. very?Just like what Qi Jiguang's soldiers said back then, shouldn't it be enough to drive them away?

Hua Manlou is too lazy to run to the southeast every time, or stay here all the time-the young daughter-in-law is still a widow!

What's more, Tianjin Wei has already fiddled with a den, and the shipping on the other side must be done. If not, a group of shareholders can eat up the whole building.Among the shareholders, there is an old Wen Ge who wants to open the sea. Hua Manlou is sure that after a while of shipping, Lao Wen will definitely do something to trigger the sea opening event, so it is better to do more foreshadowing now than to be in a hurry, right?

So this matter is entirely for the future to be able to do the hard work of salted fish, this hard work...

Anyway, it sounds sad.

……

As Nie Wenbing said, after killing a few chickens, most of the monkeys in Jiangsu and Zhejiang who received the news prepared generous gifts and rushed to Ningbo Mansion. Let this group of people weigh themselves for a contract that has been tinkered with for a long time.

This contract is actually a replica of the one signed with Ying Guogong and his group when he was in the capital, but at that time the sailors did not write a word, but now the Japanese pirates are all disabled, so the price is more than doubled, and the share is less Even the year is very short, and a large part of the investment money is the navy's military expenses, but even so, this group of people are flocking to it.

After all, everyone is not stupid, and everyone knows how profitable shipping is, who wouldn't settle the bill?

So it didn't take three days for the monkeys to sign the contract and go home to prepare money, and Huamanlou got another large sum of money.

This sum of money, apart from making up for the previous deficit of Xishan, what is left is to build warships and recruit soldiers for the Suzhou Navy and the yet-to-be-established Ningbo Navy, Quanzhou Navy, Fuzhou Navy, and Qiongzhou Navy.

By the way, Huamanlou of the Ningbo navy sent people to go to Yiwu to recruit soldiers according to Qi Jiguang's original selection strategy. He wanted to see if he could build a Qi family army like Qi Shaobao did. After all...

It is said that the kind of group fight that changed the history of the Anti-Japanese War really exists in this world.

As for why he, the chief soldier of Zhejiang, wants to run the Quanzhou and Qiongzhou navy...

A certain Zhang Guogong is still playing in Jinling now, and he sent the seal letter to Huamanlou a few days ago, and the governor Liu Qiran also naturally sent someone to tell him to plan for Fujian after he wiped out the pirates in Ningbo. What else do you think he can do?

Tianhua Manlou was so angry that he directly lifted the table, and cursed the Fujian General Soldier in the magistrate's yamen for the rest of his life...

And when the Japanese pirates in Ningbo Prefecture gradually subsided, and only a few hungry and half-dead Japanese pirates suddenly appeared in a few places, the court received a battle report from Suzhou.

"This battle report...why did Liu Qiran play it? What is Huamanlou doing?" The corners of Emperor Guangxing's mouth twitched, and he didn't know whether he was happy or annoyed.

Ordinarily, no matter what happens in the battle of Fenghua, Hua Zongbing should send someone to send the military report, or the prefect of Ningbo should send it up.But the prefect of Ningbo died, Mr. Hua Qian...

I really didn't report anything to the court.

Xu Dacheng was also speechless: "Return to Your Majesty, Mr. Liu's people said that Uncle Xishan didn't care about this at all. The military newspaper was sent by General Geng Tianding to reply when Mr. Liu sent someone to ask about it."

Emperor Guangxing rubbed his head with a headache: "Why does this Shuzi always behave like this?"

Xu Dacheng took a peek at Emperor Guangxing's expression, and said uncertainly: "Xu is...Xu is Xishan Bo who wants to surprise His Majesty? Or wants to report after the dust settles..."

"Surprise?" Emperor Guangxing patted the battle report in his hand: "More than [-] naval forces defeated more than [-] Japanese pirates in one battle, isn't that surprising enough?"

"Uh... The slave girl guessed, Xi Shanbo didn't think this was a surprise..." Xu Dacheng couldn't make it up.

But Emperor Guangxing laughed when he heard this: "I know, this Zhu Zi has always done something that makes people's scalp numb, and then waits for others to find out, and then he looks calm and calm." Why do you look so surprised by this little thing, let everyone be shocked... Well, isn’t it written in the military newspaper that nearly [-] Japanese pirates will be sent back to the capital by land in a few days, what do you think this guy wants to do?”

"My servant thinks that uncle Xishan is trying to boost the morale of the soldiers and civilians along the coast?"

"Well, that's what it means, but it's not all." Emperor Guangxing couldn't laugh or cry: "Other people do this with the intention of asking me for credit, but this Zhuzi is just playing, just trying to scare others! I also said before that He is old-fashioned and prudent, but he never thought that he would like this tune! After all, he is a young man!"

After several years, there are a few words that can accurately describe what Emperor Guangxing wanted to express, such as Versailles and Ji Cao Wu Liu.

But now there is no such word, and there is no such way, so Emperor Guangxing couldn't laugh or cry for a while before he said: "Is it time to report to the mansion tomorrow? Go, give this army report to the board, if he wants to show the limelight, I will report it to you." Just let him shine!"

409. Chase!

With Emperor Guangxing's words, Hua Manlou will really shake the world this time.

You know, Da Zhao has never fought a decent battle in the past 80 or [-] years. In the past, when the Tatars went south, they killed dozens of Tatar cavalry. , Occasionally, there are some unscrupulous guard officers who kill good people and take meritorious service. In the end, they kill dozens of people and lose hundreds of records.

For example, in the Battle of Chongming, despite the special circumstances at the time and the commanders and colleagues serving as internal support for the Japanese pirates, there were actually thousands of guards guarding the shore, and they were defeated.

Therefore, I don’t know when the number of people in Dazhao’s battles must be piled up ten times and dozens of times, and even so, there are more defeats than victories. One pass of impeachment.

Now, with 4000 people, Huamanlou attacked more than 3 people and took more than [-] prisoners. On the frontal battlefield, only two Doubi were injured. Isn't that powerful?

So after the news spread, whether it was in the court or in the middle of the country, or among the people, it was a complete sensation.

Unlike the last time when some people dared to question the record, this time no one was talking about the record at all.

After all, everyone has said that more than [-] captured Japanese pirates are still on their way back to Beijing. Now that they doubt it for a while, they will be slapped in the face when they turn around, and they may have to be persuaded by Emperor Guangxing. Who is willing to do this kind of thing? What are you doing?

Therefore, Huamanlou once again reproduced the flood of flattery that Uncle Huai'an returned to Beijing at the court meeting. Even if the civil servants couldn't see a military officer so showy, they had to pinch their noses and praise him.

Emperor Guangxing was in a good mood, and his Highness ordered to reward the army.

Apart from the fact that Huamanlou didn't like to report this, Emperor Guangxing felt that Huamanlou was really good everywhere, and he could do whatever he wanted, and he specialized in treating difficult and miscellaneous diseases of Da Zhao.

Godson didn't admit it in vain!

Compared with Emperor Guangxing, Zhao Ren in Xishan was extremely depressed after hearing this.

"Alas..." In Huang Zichao's office, Zhao Ren held the military newspaper and shook his head repeatedly.

Seeing this, Huang Zichao couldn't help asking: "Why is Your Highness sighing?"

"Are you envious?" Zhao Ren looked at Huang Zichao with burning eyes.

"Envy... what?"

"War!" Zhao Ren patted the military newspaper in his hand: "Look at Huamanlou, a few thousand people dare to fight tens of thousands, and they win so easily. Don't you envy him?"

Huang Zichao was stunned when he heard the words, and then smiled wryly: "It would be a lie to say that I don't envy you, but Mr. Qian has his own reasons for not taking us there..."

"Bullshit!" Zhao Ren cursed and said, "This guy must want to claim this victory for himself! Right now, the pirates in Jiangsu and Zhejiang are all finished, and there are also pirates in Fujian and the three big pirates. We still have a chance to go now! Hurry up! Hurry up and gather our troops and horses, let's set off today, and grab the credit!"

Huang Zichao opened his mouth wide: "Order... order the soldiers and horses? Your Highness, our Xishan Guard has more than a thousand people, and how can we act without a military order?"

Zhao Ren said angrily, "What military order do I need here? I am the military order!"

"This...then what..." Huang Zichao is now looking forward to Hua Manlou's return soon, because Zhao Ren, a brat, has been unable to hold back since he came to Xishan after school started a few days ago: "Your Highness, don't make trouble!" ..."

"You!" Zhao Ren stomped his feet, and was about to say something, but his eyes rolled: "Do you want a military order? Is it from the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies or the Fusi from Beizhen?"

"Uh..." Huang Zichao was caught off guard by this turn: "Okay... It seems that it can't be done without His Majesty's order..."

This is true, Xishan is nominally under the administration of Beizhen Fusi, but in fact it is directly responsible to the emperor, and Beizhen Fusi does not dare to regard Xishan as a thousand households of Xuanwuwei, and Well, Huang Zichao's intention in saying this was that Zhao Ren retreated in the face of difficulties, after all...

Maybe he would have to be beaten up when he ran back to ask for orders, and he would probably stop being a monster after the beating-so let's see, how much this brat bullied an honest man like Huang Zichao.

Zhao Ren was stunned when he heard the words, and then nodded: "Is it the will? I'll go back and ask for one! Let's go!"

"Uh..." Looking at the back of Zhao Ren leaving, Huang Zichao suddenly couldn't bear it: "Your Highness...although he escaped a bit, but he is not bad, so he is going to be beaten...that's all, anyway, he Safety is the number one priority..."

Huang Zichao looked forward to Huamanlou's return soon.

What Huang Zichao didn't expect was that he received a decree the next day, asking him to pack up his things and go to Beijing to meet the saint.

Although the decree was inexplicable, the imperial decree is the imperial decree, so he immediately rushed to the capital with a few guards, but when he was about to arrive at the capital, he saw Xu Dacheng coming towards him with a group of angry people.

Huang Zichao knew Xu Dacheng, and when he saw him coming in a hurry, he immediately hid beside the road and waited for him to pass.But who would have thought that when Xu Dacheng saw him, he immediately rushed over, grabbed him, pulled him aside and asked in a low voice, "Where is Your Highness?"

"Your Highness? Your Highness returned to Beijing yesterday?" Huang Zichao looked confused.

Xu Dacheng said angrily, "Did you get the imperial decree to come to Beijing to face the Holy Spirit?"

"Uh... yes."

"That's His Royal Highness's forged will!" Xu Dacheng was about to cry: "Not only that, he also forged a seal for himself, and made himself a position in Xishan with thousands of households and hundreds of households... Maybe you just left Xishan. Take people away!"

That's right, Zhao Ren planned to bring a hundred people to support Huamanlou—he was smart enough not to go to the Shenji Camp or the Three Thousand Battalion.

Zhao Ren plotted for a long time after returning to Beijing yesterday, and today he took advantage of the court meeting to settle everything.

And most coincidentally, Nie Wenbing's report just arrived today.

What Nie Wenbing reported was of course the good deeds of Yin Bowen and other criminal officials. Emperor Guangxing Longyan was furious, so the court meeting was delayed for a long time, and it was already half an afternoon when he found out what happened to Zhao Ren...

The funniest thing is that what Zhao Ren sent to Huang Zichao was a secret decree, and he sent a little Huangmen who didn't know anything to send it in the name of delivering the letter - after all, it's a secret decree, so it should be kept secret, right?

But Huang Zichao thought that the secret decree was for Emperor Guangxing to prevent Zhao Ren's identity from being discovered, so although he found it strange, he didn't doubt it at all...

Now after hearing Xu Dacheng's brief explanation of the matter, Huang Zichao also looked dispirited, and immediately turned his horse's head and ran back.

Xu Dacheng patted his horse and followed, with a face full of tears: "Vice Huang Qianhu, did your Highness say anything yesterday?"

"Your Highness said that he was envious of the achievements of President Qian, and that he wanted to go back and ask His Majesty for military orders..." Huang Zichao slapped his thigh at this point: "He is going to the southeast! Companion, I will go back to Xishan to have a look. Companion, please call the East immediately." The factory is closed!"

"When our family went out, the order was given..." Xu Dacheng wanted to cry even more without tears: "But is it still too late? More than one hour is enough for His Highness to do many things! Don't forget, there are good horses in Xishan!"

"Don't talk about it, companion, let's chase after it!"

410. With the Emperor...

When Emperor Guangxing was trembling with anger, Zhao Ren had already set off from Xishan in joy.

Is it a serious crime to forge imperial edicts and pass on military orders?

Yes, and it is a serious crime of the Yi tribe, which is almost equivalent to rebellion.But having said that, Zhao Ren's three clans still include Emperor Guangxing, can you follow this argument?

And the most interesting thing is that if ordinary princes dare to play like this, it is estimated that the next moment will be to abolish the prince and deprive him of the right of inheritance. After all, the monarchy is too sensitive, to the point of "If I don't give it to you, you can't take it", then Even his own son can't mess around.

But Zhao Ren...

There is only such a seedling in the old Zhao's family, what can you do with him?

If it can't be done, isn't the final result still being beaten by Emperor Guangxing?

That's why Zhao Ren, who was used to being beaten for a long time, didn't give up this trick. Anyway, if he stayed in the capital, he might be beaten if he made some trouble that day, and he would be beaten if he led troops to fight Japanese pirates—wait for a beating, beating the country ?

That's right, that's what Zhao Ren thought. When he led his troops out of Xishan, he pretended to be upright and awe-inspiring for the country and the people.

What Zhao Ren took with him was the hundred-household battalion that he often hangs out with. The special thing about this hundred-household camp is that there are no hundred-households... In other words, the hundred-household officer was originally the agent of a general banner of the East Street Hundred Households Office. Later, Qi Wanrong took his place, and Hua Manlou dispatched the unlucky General Banner to another place. Therefore, Zhao Ren suddenly became Chief Zhao. How doubtful.

after all……

Although they didn't know Zhao Ren's identity, all of them could see Zhao Ren's specialness. Although he was in the camp, everyone knew about his relationship with Hua Manlou.So now that Zhao Ren went to 'beg' a hundred household officials to take everyone to support Huamanlou, everyone was excited for a moment, how could they control the authenticity of the transfer order?

A battalion of one hundred households does not need to bring extra food and grass, so Zhao Ren took a full two hundred good horses from Xishan to go on the road, planning to change people without changing horses. boxes, Purdue three boxes, and...

Two hot air balloons.

From Zhao Ren's point of view, it would be foolish for Huamanlou not to bring a hot-air balloon to fight Japanese pirates. After all, one can stand high and see far away.

Because there was not much time to prepare, and Zhao Ren was afraid that he would be discovered—there were still a group of people in the Western Mountains who knew his identity. In order to avoid complications, he packed up and brought people down the mountain within half an hour. up.

"Mr. Zhao, aren't we going to the southeast to support President Qian? How can we go this way?" A general flag named Ma Yuan approached Zhao Ren with a puzzled expression on his face: "Is this road going to Tianjin? "

The teenagers of Xishanwei had all been to Tianjin because of Bailian's robbery of Huamanlou, so they were very familiar with the path Zhao Ren chose.
