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

Zhao Ren just laughed when he heard the words: "Don't you understand? When we went all the way to the southeast by land, we were exhausted and we still had the strength to fight? Let's go to Tianjin to borrow a boat from the navy and go all the way to Ningbo by sea. How good is it to go to Fujian to fight Japanese pirates after the war in Ningbo is over?"

Ma Yuan was pleasantly surprised: "Yes... Is that so? Although the Tianjin navy is considered to be our own family, it is not so easy to lend us their warships, right?"

Zhao Ren smiled and said, "Isn't the Shipbuilding Department of the Maritime Academy of the Polytechnic University over there? A few days ago, I heard that the warships they built for the Suzhou Navy have already been launched. When we go, don't we just escort Suzhou there?" ? Don't worry, I'll tell you when the time comes, let's follow Hua... President Qian's footsteps!"

As he said that, Zhao Ren touched a certain bag on his body, and there was an extremely important seal lying in it...

And the teenagers didn't notice his weirdness at all, they just kept cheering up: "That's great! I've wanted to see the battleship for a long time!"

"Mr. Qian's move must be extraordinary, I haven't seen that big boat before!"

"I heard from the little six who sent the cannons earlier that the boat was tens of feet high!"

"Nonsense! Do you believe his bragging?"

"Speaking of which, Fenghua is fighting land battles, right? I knew that Mr. Qian would take us with him even if he went out when he went out. The navy's land battles were taught by us from Xishan!"

"That's right, we were the ones who followed Mr. Qian first, but in the end, the navy showed his face first. Where does this make Xishan's face go?"

A group of teenagers talked a lot, with high enthusiasm and fighting spirit.

Zhao Ren listened for a while, and waved his hands cheerfully: "Brothers, let's run faster! The pirates will be defeated by Mr. Qian if we are late!"

"Here!"

With a hundred people and two hundred horses, the speed of changing horses without changing people is extremely fast, and the distance is already gone in a while.

……

Holding on to a ten thousandth hope, Xu Dacheng and Huang Zichao, who chased to the foot of the West Mountain, went completely half-crazy when they saw the horseshoe prints on the ground.

"Xu Banban, Your Highness is going to Tianjin..." Huang Zichao's voice was very bitter: "Did you block the road to Tianjin?"

Xu Dacheng's voice was equally bitter: "Our family thought His Highness would go directly south, so most of the roads blocked were from Baoding Mansion..."

The roads outside the capital extend in all directions, so Xu Dacheng can't block them all. Moreover, Zhao Ren had set off more than an hour before Xu Dacheng gave the order. Even if he knew that he was running southeast around the capital, it would be difficult to stop him... …

"Then what are you talking about, let's chase!" Huang Zichao turned his horse's head and wanted to chase in the direction of Tianjin.

"It's late!" Xu Dacheng's face turned ashen: "Your Highness is carrying His Majesty's seal, and the journey can be said to be unimpeded. When you arrive at Tianjin Wei, you only need to forge a decree to board the ship and go south... Sigh!"

The imperial edicts and secret edicts of all dynasties existed. This is the prerogative of the emperor, and the edicts do not go through the cabinet or the general secretary. Will have questions or opinions.

In other words, Zhao Ren carrying the seal is equivalent to bringing an emperor in front of him, and he can order whatever he wants...

Could Dacheng be so angry?

Huang Zichao asked eagerly, "What if I don't chase after him?"

"You ran back and forth from Xishan to the capital, can you keep up with the horsepower? It takes half an hour to change horses up the mountain, but..." Xu Dacheng pointed to the horseshoe prints on the ground: "Look at the number, His Highness must want to If you change horses but don’t change people, it’s no wonder that you can catch up!"

"Then...then what should I do now?" Huang Zichao went crazy.

Xu Dacheng pondered for a while, then sighed: "Return to the capital, and send someone to the southeast to report the letter to Uncle Xishan... Well, when His Majesty came out, he ordered that our family can do things cheaply, and Deputy Huang Qianhu took two Let's chase it with a battalion of hundreds of households, no matter whether you can catch His Highness in Tianjin Weidu, you will lead people to chase down the sea, and our family will be scolded when we go back, alas..."

411. Emperor Guangxing's Decision

In the imperial study room, Emperor Guangxing was so angry that he almost fainted.

How happy Emperor Guangxing was when he received the news of the victory in the Battle of Fenghua the day before, how angry he is now—or rather, Emperor Guangxing has been in a bad mood since the early morning.

Before that, Emperor Guangxing wondered why a large number of Japanese pirates suddenly appeared in Ningbo Mansion, but now everything is clear after the arrival of Nie Wenbing's memorabilia.

What happened to Yin Bowen in the Ningbo Mansion was shocking. Just attacking the navy, attacking the imperial envoys, and privately accumulating soldiers is enough for the three tribes of the barbarians three times. Add up...

It seems just enough for the Nine Clans?

In short, the clean-up of the Ningbo Mansion is another clean-up of the entire family in Dazhao in a short period of time after Datong.This made Emperor Guangxing feel a little depressed while being furious—is there a problem with his own governance, or is it, as Hua Manlou said, that some parts of Dazhao have completely rotted?

But before he could settle the matter, the crown prince actually ran away...

At that time, Emperor Guangxing only had one thought: Do these bastards think that I have lived too long, so they want to anger me to death?

When Xu Dacheng, who was trembling, returned to Beijing to return to his command, he knelt on the ground and did not dare to lift his head after talking about the situation in Xishan, only waiting for Emperor Guangxing to be furious.But after waiting for a while, there was no movement from Emperor Guangxing, so he mustered up the courage to look up, but saw that Emperor Guangxing was just sitting there blankly, seemingly without the energy to get angry.

Xu Dacheng quickly lowered his head, not daring to look any further.

At this moment, Emperor Guangxing said: "Dacheng..."

"The servant is here."

"Recall all the people you sent out." Emperor Guangxing looked dejected.

Xu Dacheng was surprised: "Your Majesty, this...His Highness is leaving Beijing..."

Xu Dacheng didn't even say anything in a hurry.

There has always been no reason for the prince to run around, especially in Da Zhao.In addition to safety considerations, the crown prince is also concerned with the state system - his future governance strategy, views on state affairs, officials, and his aspirations will all affect the operation of the country, so the education of the crown prince is extremely important, and it must be cautious Be cautious.

To put it bluntly, it is to be carefully taught by great Confucian scholars and scholars to turn him into an obedient prince, and then become an honest emperor like Emperor Guangxing.

This is in the interests of civil servants, right?

So once the civil servants knew about Zhao Ren's whereabouts, they would definitely have such doubts: the crown prince went to fight the pirates himself. Does this mean that the future emperor is a material of Emperor Wu?

In Dazhao, Wencheng Wude has always been just talking, and no civil servant wants to see the emperor become a warmonger.

From the perspective of the civil official group, Emperor Wu is bound to use a large number of military generals and nobles, which is extremely inconsistent with the interests of civil officials, and if there is a mess, how can the civil officials take advantage of their leisure like in peacetime?

Excluding the selfishness of civil servants, from the national level, the pressure exerted by an overjoyed emperor on the country is catastrophic. He can cause tens of thousands to 10 people to die on the battlefield with a single thought.

Therefore, in order to prevent the emperor from becoming such an emperor, generally speaking, the civil servants instilled in the emperor and the prince is to rule with the arch, but in the end the scriptures were recited wrongly-the emperor, the emperor should bring the emperor in the palace. With a benevolent heart, you should open up branches and leaves for the Tian family. When you encounter something, just ask us how to do it. Don't worry about other things at all...

Don't doubt, this group of people thinks so and does so, and a certain Mr. Jiangling really told Wanli so.

So speaking of it, Zhao Ren is sneaking out of the capital now, so it's fine if he doesn't get discovered. Once people know that he has gone out to fight, what kind of chaos will the court be?

"Let him go!" Emperor Guangxing sighed: "It's good to go and take a look, see what the people are living, and see how crazy the bureaucrats are. After reading it, maybe you can understand something. ?”

Ever since Zhao Ren came back from Xishan crying and asked about the people of Emperor Guangxing, Emperor Guangxing had a feeling that although his unlucky son's behavior was a bit sloppy, he was sympathetic to the people anyway.

That is to say, if he is allowed to really see the situation in the southeast and feel the hardships of the people, at least in the future he will follow his way of treating the people generously, so that he will not lose the country, right?

In addition to this point, Emperor Guangxing made this decision because of Nie Wenbing's trip to the southeast, and the things he found out were so subversive.

Civil officials have always used propriety, righteousness and shame, and put the way of saints on their heads to attack others, but how do they actually do it themselves?

Full of male robbers and female prostitutes.

Taking this incident as an example, I thought that the magistrate’s yamen was supervised by the censor, and there were secret agents of the Xuanwu Guard in the local area. They cover up the sky and deceive the top and bottom with one hand in the local area. Are the people suffering?

Whether it is Wang Jin or Yin Bowen, or the original prefect of Datong, they all transferred from the Imperial Academy to the local government during the Guangxing Dynasty. They were moral models when they were in the Imperial Academy. I have attended class, but why did they become like this when they left Beijing?

Therefore, Emperor Guangxing gradually didn't believe what these people said - just like when he discussed with Zhao Ren that "honor and disgrace are known by the truth", Emperor Guangxing felt more and more that the theory of studying things to know is correct.

Reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles. Once you read them, you will know the local situation, and it will be difficult to be deceived by officials, right?

To be honest, if Yin Bowen hadn't happened when Zhao Ren slipped away, Emperor Guangxing would never have such an idea.But two things happened at the same time to produce such an effect, it was amazing.

Xu Dacheng didn't know Emperor Guangxing's plan at all, but he understood the seriousness of the matter: "But Your Majesty, Your Highness still has a seal, in case... in case some troubles are discovered..."

Emperor Guangxing said: "Generally, there will be no accidents from Tianjin to Ningbo Mansion, and there is no place to use seals on the way. As for the place...you send someone to tell Huamanlou about the matter urgently. , let him find a way to solve it."

"Uh... yes."

Emperor Guangxing believed that Zhao Ren would not make a big mess if Hua Manlou was watching.Moreover, after Zhao Ren went to the southeast, he could still help Huamanlou—just like what happened to Yin Bowen this time, if Huamanlou could send even a forged secret letter when he sensed something was wrong, it might not be able to stop it. Where are a large number of Japanese pirates landing?

Therefore, with Zhao Ren by his side, the process of Huamanlou's fight against the Japanese will be greatly accelerated, and the resistance from the locality will be greatly reduced, which is another benefit.

As for the bad parts...

The matter of stealing printed letters must be censored, and it must be censored to death.It wasn't because Zhao Ren secretly exercised the power of the monarchy. After all, this power will belong to him in the future--the only son, if he is in the mood to do something, it's better than fighting cocks and crickets in the palace?

but……

Da Zhao's prince, stealing things?

Thinking about it, Emperor Guangxing became angry again: "By the way, by the way, tell Hua Manlou to give that rebellious son a hard blow to relieve my hatred, and I will do the rest after the rebellious son returns to Beijing!"

Xu Dacheng: ...

According to what this means, the first meal is the interest, and after returning to Beijing, you have to take the same meal with the interest?

412. I hope so...

Is Zhao Ren afraid of being beaten?

Not at all, even though he acted cowardly when he was beaten, but being cowardly doesn't mean he's afraid—a good man doesn't suffer from the immediate disadvantages. When he is beaten, he is more cowardly and pitiful, so can he save two blows?

Just like when Zhao Ren and Zhao Ren were endorsing, they often stumbled and pretended that they didn't pay much attention. When being beaten, it is the best way to fight against domestic violence by keeping silent and silent. It might be a beating that can’t get out of bed for several months-crying children not only have milk to eat, but also can be beaten less...

That's why I said, pretending to be cowardly doesn't mean being afraid. How could Zhao Ren do this if he was really afraid of being beaten?

So the result is: benevolence is not afraid of beating, so why be afraid of beating?

According to Xu Dacheng's estimate, Huang Zichao didn't catch up to Zhao Ren. Rather, when he rushed to the shore, the warships on the sea could barely leave the shore, and there was a brat on the poop that was waving and laughing...

At this moment, Huang Zichao could hardly hold back the rebellious thoughts in his heart.

"Mr. Zhao, is it okay for us to do this?" When Zhao Ren stood on the poop of the battleship and laughed happily, Ma Yuan, the general flag, came over and asked.

Zhao Ren felt that the title of Chief Zhao was extremely novel, and he was in a good mood: "Huh? What's the problem?"

Ma Yuandao: "Didn't the people in the dock just say that this battleship is newly improved, and it has only been tested once or twice in the water, and it is not sure whether it can go to sea. We just launched it like this, and something went wrong. What about accountability?"

Zhao Ren waved his hand: "No problem, I will bear it all when the time comes! And Mr. Qian is actually very talkative, so don't worry!"

"Yes...is that so?"

"Well, definitely!" Zhao Ren had a smile that didn't escape the summer heat: "Mr. Qian told me in the past that first-class people have skills but have no temper, second-class people have skills and temper, and third-class people have no skills and no temper... ...I think he's first class anyway, don't you?"

"Uh... huh?"

"Isn't that enough?"

Ma Yuan was speechless for a while, and then asked: "What else is there? Although we have brought all the sailors and charts in our hands, we are not very familiar with the sea routes. How about we go along the coast?"

I didn't feel it when I was on the shore, but after boarding the boat and leaving the shore, Ma Yuan felt a little uneasy... Or rather, everyone was a little uneasy. Everyone thought it was better to stay closer to the shore. If something goes wrong, maybe you can swim to the shore, right?

Zhao Ren thought for a while and said, "Why do I feel that there are too many hidden reefs along the coast? That's not right. Let's go according to the chart. Isn't that the way Mr. Qian went before? Don't worry, it's no problem!"

Ma Yuan saw that Zhao Ren was confident, so he didn't ask any more questions, but told the sailors to act cautiously after finding them. If they were in danger, safety must be the top priority.

In short, a foolish and bold man took a group of young soldiers and a group of sailors who hadn't sailed far at all, and just went into the sea and set sail...

……

When Huamanlou was sent to Huamanlou urgently at eight hundred miles from the capital, he had just selected recruits from Yiwu and returned to Ningbo.

To be honest, the Yiwu people who can leave a strong mark in the history of the anti-Japanese war are really not built. Huamanlou specially selected a dozen naval soldiers to practice against this group of recruits from Yiwu. You may have practiced battle formations, but you just relied on brute force and bloody courage to beat the navy soldiers on the ground, and they couldn't hold back...

Therefore, Yiwu is not only famous for small commodities.

On the way back to Ningbo, Huamanlou was still thinking that he wanted to form a Huajia army equivalent to Qi's army, but the person who was worthy of returning to the government office to report the letter arrived, unfolding Emperor Guangxing's secret decree and only glanced at Huaman Lou went crazy and said, "Damn! It's a bad thing!"

Qi Wanrong from the side came over: "What's wrong? What's wrong?"

Hua Manlou handed the will to Qi Wanrong, and then said angrily, "Come here! Come here! Let the entire Tianjin navy assemble! Call Mu Wenbin to come to my place to discuss matters, hurry up!"

Qi Wanrong also finished reading Zhongzhi at this time, she was dumbfounded and said: "This... this is really a bad thing..."

Hua Manlou dragged her to a place where there was no one else, and then said: "Zhao Ren can't have any accidents, if something happens to him, Da Zhao will be in chaos! You bastard! You're such a bastard!"

Qi Wanrong nodded and said, "What are you going to do? Go pick up the prince?"

Hua Manlou rubbed his eyebrows desperately and said: "If you don't go, you have to go, otherwise what should we do? Not to mention the hidden reefs, wind and waves, counting the time, the three Japanese will probably know that the navy has pacified the Japanese pirates in Jiangsu and Zhejiang , maybe they will send someone to inquire about the news, if they meet..."

This is what Hua Manlou had long guessed. After all, most of the pirates in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces had shadows of the Three Great Woks behind them. It will be some time before these pirates are wiped out, and the news will naturally reach them.

According to the normal way of thinking, the three big wolves will definitely send people to inquire about the news, because this is related to the future strategies of the three big wolves - if they think they can beat them, they will attack them aggressively; Either they will surrender to Da Zhao, and there is no other way to go.

At this juncture, Zhao Ren also came to Ningbo Mansion, just in case...

It would be better if it was a small group of Japanese pirates, but if the opponent had three or four warships, the only seedling of the old Zhao family would be gone.

Calculating the time, Hua Manlou said again: "If there are no accidents, Zhao Ren should have passed Weihaiwei. If we set off now, we might meet him in the east of Huai'an Mansion, but finding a boat on the vast sea... is terrible. !"

Not to mention things like global positioning systems and instant messaging systems these days, even telescopes haven't been tinkered with, so the difficulty of finding a boat at sea is roughly equivalent to finding a distinctive sand on a mountain ,This……

Hua Manlou felt insane.
