Good morning Daming

Chapter 1003: Being courteous for nothing

Just as the powerful people in Huating were licking their wounds at home and cursing Jiang Qing in secret, Jiang Qing's people had already left Songjiang Prefecture.

In a military camp more than 20 miles away from Songjiang Prefecture, several generals were discussing matters.

"Jiang Qingzhi arrested more than ten generals in Songjiang Prefecture on charges of corruption."

The leading officer was called Wang Tian. He was in his forties, short and stocky, with a protruding belly, and did not look like a brave man.

The deputy captain was named Yang Yue. He said, "Captain, Jiang Qingzhi first attacked the powerful people in Songjiang Prefecture. The local guards thought they were spared, so they were able to be attacked by him. Otherwise..."

"What else? Do we dare to rebel?" A deputy captain complained, "Jiang Qingzhi led the entire Tiger Guards to the south this time. It is said that some people in Shanghai County were ready to make a move, and dozens of people were arrested. The local garrison was silent."

Yang Yue sneered, "Those people think they can escape disaster by surrendering?"

"How come you know the inside story?" Wang Tian's heart moved.

"Whose ass is clean these days? They are all a pile of shit!" Yang Yue said, "Those people think that the law does not punish everyone, but they forget one thing."

"What's the matter?"

"When Jiang Qingzhi purged the Beijing Guards, who was spared?" Yang Yue said coldly, "All the generals involved in corruption were arrested. Those who should be killed were killed, and those who should be exiled were exiled... Many people were confused by their own actions. Jiang Qingzhi never left room for others."

Wang Tian took a deep breath and said, "This is the case. We are in danger!"

The lowest rank among those present here is a centurion, and everyone is involved in corruption.

Everyone looked unhappy, and someone said, "What should we do then? Should we just sit there and wait for death?"

"I won't wait to die." Yang Yue grinned and said, "Now there is a way."

"What method?"

"Jiang Qingzhi will come in person." Yang Yue lowered his voice.

Under the candlelight, the figure flickered...

……

Jiang Qingzhi is heading south.

There were three hundred cavalrymen accompanying him, led by Chen Bao.

During the suppression of Songjiang Prefecture, the Wolf Soldiers were in charge of Qingpu County. It was said that when the Wolf Soldiers appeared, those clamorous tyrants were still cursing. Hua Yan was furious and immediately ordered the capture of more than ten tyrants and beat them up in the downtown area. If it were not for the dissuasion of the accompanying officials, there would have been deaths.

Afterwards, someone asked Hua Yan why she was so angry, and Hua Yan said: "My father wrote to me, asking me to follow Chang Wei Bo well and treat Chang Wei Bo as my real father..."

Nima!

Curse my dad!

If I don’t kill you, I’m not Hua Yan.

When Jiang Qingzhi heard this, he couldn't help but smile.

Dear dad!

He is just a little older than Hua Yan. Isn't it good to be his brother?
The wolf soldiers then launched a massive search in Qingpu County. Those wild wolf soldiers captured many people, smashed some shops, and took away some things.

The local officials complained, and Jiang Qingzhi appointed the officials who were accompanying the supervisor to come back and apologize, saying that they were incompetent.

The incompetence of officials is one thing, and the wildness of the wolf soldiers is another.

So Jiang Qingzhi simply took the wolf soldiers with him, but as he had a lot of things to do, he took the cavalry ahead.

That night, Jiang Qingzhi and others who missed their destination camped in the wild.

The wolf soldiers also followed, and Chen Zheng was amazed, "These people can actually keep up with the horses?"

"Unless you are in a hurry and don't hesitate to use all the horse's strength, the longer you walk, the more inferior the horse will be to you," Xu Wei said with a sense of superiority.

The wolf soldiers all have a pair of iron feet. Even after walking for a whole day, they are still full of energy. As soon as they arrive at a place, they will make a lot of noise.

Jiang Qingzhi came over with his men, and Hua Yan roared, "Quiet down!"

When the wolf soldiers saw Jiang Qingzhi, they all quieted down.

Chen Zheng was curious, so he went over and asked a wolf soldier, "Why are you afraid of Long Wilbur?"

The wolf soldier said: "Chang Wei Bo is Qian Hu's father, Qian Hu is our father, then Chang Wei Bo is our grandfather, and grandsons naturally have to respect their grandfather."

In Guangxi, the people in charge of the villages and towns are not the government or the law, but the elders.

Those elderly people have the power to decide the life and death of an entire family or an individual.

Xu Wei smiled and said, "Grandfather?"

Jiang Qingzhi was so upset that Hua Yan came over and said after bowing, "Master, these people are used to being unrestrained. I can only suppress them with difficulty. I am afraid that I will not be able to suppress them for too long."

"Human nature is free." Jiang Qingzhi smiled, very kindly, and then he was stunned. Why the hell do I look like an old father?
This is not right.

Jiang Qingzhi coughed dryly, "After a while, you will naturally have a chance to vent your anger."

The wolf soldiers were cheered up.

"Where is it?" Hua Yan also smiled happily.

This girl is very straightforward. She once said that she wanted to ask Jiang Qingzhi to be her adoptive father. However, Jiang Qingzhi was not willing to accept such a big daughter as his adoptive father. If the news spread, people would probably say that this adopted daughter was unfaithful. It might even be that Jiang was trying to save the country in a roundabout way in order to avoid the power of the tigress in his family.

Not to mention the melon field and the plum tree, Sun Chonglou and Hua Yan fell in love with each other, and it was unknown when they would become husband and wife.

Thinking of Sun Chonglou kneeling in front of him and calling him his foster father, Jiang Qingzhi couldn't help but shudder, feeling as if he had changed his surname to Wang.

——Wang Yun and Lu Bu.

"East."

"East?" Hua Yan looked to the east, and when Jiang Qingzhi turned around and went back, she grabbed Sun Chonglou.

"Stop pulling and tugging." Sun Chonglou was a little embarrassed.

"Hey! Which is the east that Uncle is talking about?" Hua Yan asked.

"The sea is to the east!"

"Sea?" Hua Yan, who had never seen the sea, was stunned for a moment. "What's on the sea?"

"There are many things, there are pirates, Japanese pirates, navy, Portuguese, and... Japan. Look at that woman, she is a Japanese pirate." Sun Chonglou said, pointing at Matsuki Yoshiko who was following at the back.

Matsuki Yoshiko was tied up and guarded by two soldiers.

People didn't know why Jiang Qingzhi kept this woman around, and some even maliciously speculated that Jiang Qingzhi liked Japanese women. There were many people who liked Japanese women in later generations, but that kind of liking was a kind of... well, a hobby.

The Japanese women at that time were short and ugly, so there was no way Jiang Qingzhi would like them.

Chen Zheng followed Jiang Qingzhi, looked at the dusk, and sighed, "Songjiang Prefecture has calmed down, you should take action against the entire South next!"

"No." Jiang Qingzhi shook his head.

"Eh! Although I don't understand military tactics, I know the principle of striking while the iron is hot. Are you willing to give up such a great opportunity? Yes, if you make another move, the southerners will be saddened by the death of the rabbits and the foxes... It will inevitably be like driving a dog into a dead end. A wise man would not do that. Well, stop for a while and let everyone slow down."

Chen Zheng felt that he had guessed Jiang Qingzhi's plan, but he saw King Jing's mouth curled up, as if he was mocking him.

King Jing's pride was inherited from Dao Ye. Chen Zheng thought he could conceive this boy, but from the moment he left the capital, he found out he was wrong.

King Jing was very polite to him, but not respectful at all.

Being polite is in keeping with his identity - the Emperor's teacher.

"Prince Jing thinks it's not right?" Chen Zheng felt more and more that Prince Jing did not have the bearing of a benevolent monarch and was not the best candidate for the crown prince.

King Jing nodded and said bluntly, "When my cousin uses troops, no one has ever guessed his final resort."

You are no exception!
Chen Zheng laughed angrily, "So, what about you?"

King Jing raised his eyebrows, "Although I don't know what my cousin will do next, but the pace of the new policy will not stop!"

"Why?" Chen Zheng wanted to find an opportunity to warn King Jing.

"The first push is strong, the second is weak, and the third is exhausted." King Jing sighed, "Governing is like using troops, the best way is to push hard. What's the use of stopping? Once you stop, it will give those people a chance to breathe. Once they join forces..."

"Haha! Boy, do you know the current atmosphere in the South?" Chen Zheng said, "I have received a lot of letters recently. The South is in turmoil.

Long Wei Bo had a great time killing people in Songjiang Prefecture, but it also made other places give up their hope of luck. Since there is no chance of luck, there are two options: one is to surrender, the other is to fight back...

The road ahead is full of thorns! How can we go on without stopping?"

"My cousin will always find a way."

King Jing's words were filled with strong confidence.

Chen Zheng was startled, and looked carefully. In the twilight, King Jing was looking at Jiang Qingzhi, his eyes...

Be respectful.

King Jing turned his gaze to look at him, the corners of his mouth curled up again, and the sarcasm in his eyes reminded Chen Zheng of his emperor disciple.

It seems as if all the people in the world are monkeys.

Including him, Chen Zheng.

The older people get, the more likely they are to go to two extremes under the threat of death: either they seem to be detached and not care about anything, or they fight for everything.

Chen Zheng said: "Chang Wei Bo started a massacre in Songjiang Prefecture, but this is the Ming Dynasty. If there is further killing in Songjiang Prefecture, it will inevitably cause a backlash. Boy, those people did not resist, not because they are cowardly, but because they are forbearing. Once they can no longer bear it..."

"Raising the flag of rebellion." King Jing smiled and said sarcastically, "Who raised the flag at the end of the Yuan Dynasty?"

Not a scholar-official!
Not a scholar.

"My cousin once said that it would take ten years for a scholar to rebel. Those powerful people in Songjiang Prefecture would rather collude with the Japanese pirates than raise their own flags. This shows the fear in their bones. They are afraid of death and exile..."

As for those...the Five Tigers, their rebellion was more like child's play.

"Sun Huan of Shanghai County confessed that someone once suggested raising the flag for rebellion, but was immediately rebuked by everyone. I asked Sun Huan why he did not dare to rebel. Do you know what he answered, Mr. Chen?"

"fear death?"

"Yes, he is afraid of death, but at the same time he thinks that if he can successfully reverse the situation, he will be able to gain great benefits. He is hesitant and starts well but ends badly... Can such a person accomplish anything?"

King Jing smiled.

Chen Zheng felt a little uneasy. Although he scoffed at the so-called Confucian spirit, he did not want to see Confucianism decline and Confucianism fade into obscurity.

"Your Highness...are you a Confucian or a Mohist?" Chen Zheng asked.

This question...King Jing looked at him and said, "Me? I am no one."

"Hmm?" Chen Zheng frowned.

"I am who I am." Chen Zheng was stunned by King Jing's arrogant attitude.

“Why should I belong to someone else? I was born between heaven and earth and should not be bound by anything.” King Jing said.

Even Chen Zheng was silenced by these remarks.

Is this the subtle influence of Jiang Qingzhi?
He looked at Jiang Qingzhi in front of him.

More than ten riders came galloping and were intercepted on the outskirts.

"My Lord, it was the local guards who heard the news and came to greet us."

Jiang Qingzhi said calmly: "You are being courteous for no reason!"

Then, several generals came.

"Your humble servant Wang Tian greets Lord Earl." Wang Tian looked at Jiang Qingzhi with respect. "When your humble servant heard that Lord Earl was heading south, he wished he could follow him. Today, he learned that Lord Earl was near our army, so he packed up and invited Lord Earl to rest."

Chen Zheng is old and doesn't like camping in the wild, so he couldn't help but be moved when he heard this.

The wolf soldiers didn't care, and the three hundred riders were indifferent.

Wang Tian's hands hung down, and his five fingers moved nervously a few times.

Facing this uncle, he felt like he was facing an indestructible mountain.

My back gradually became wet with sweat...

I don’t know how long it took, but Wang Tian felt that it might have been a day, a year…

Jiang Qingzhi spoke.

"Alright!"

In an instant, Wang Tian felt relaxed.

He clenched his right hand into a fist.

Great thing, accomplished!
