————————————————————————————
It's midsummer, and lotuses are in full bloom on Daming Lake, connecting the sky and the earth.
A small boat skirted the green lotus leaves on the shore and slowly paddled to the center of the lake.
Two pretty little maids filled the glasses with wine. Liu Jianwu picked up the wine glass and said with a humble smile: "Master Fang, I wonder how much the scenery on the shores of Daming Lake is comparable to that of Jiangnan?"
Mr. Fang laughed loudly, "Brother Jianwu is so polite! The south of the Yangtze River has the charm of the south of the Yangtze River, but the northland also has the style of the northland! By the Daming Lake, there are beautiful mountains and rivers, and there are many outstanding people! I don't know what Yi An said back then.
Are you living in seclusion here?"
After he finished speaking, he took a long breath, stood up, stood on the bow of the boat, drank the wine in the cup, and murmured to himself: "What a shame that Fang was born at the wrong time! If only Yi An could have been here back then.
If you meet Fang Mou, how can you be framed by that shameless villain and end up depressed?"
At that time, Zhao Mingcheng died of illness on his way to take office as the governor of Huzhou. Li Qingzhao was isolated and helpless. At the right time, there was a small official known as "Zhang Ruzhou". In order to defraud Li Qingzhao of money, he showed his kindness in every possible way and took advantage of the situation. Li Qingzhao had no one to rely on at the time, so he took advantage of it.
Secular Feng married Zhang Ruzhou. However, after the marriage, both of them found that they had been deceived. Zhang Ruzhou did not realize that Li Qingzhao was as wealthy as he imagined, and Li Qingzhao also revealed Zhang Ruzhou's hypocrisy, even to the extent of his subsequent fistfights.
Afterwards, Li Qingzhao reported on Zhang Ruzhou, and the marriage, which lasted less than a hundred days, broke up. However, Zhang Ruzhou, a shameless villain with no name, also left his name in history because of Li Qingzhao.
What Mr. Fang said at this time was exactly this allusion.
Liu Jianwu flattered the horse and couldn't help but smile, "Young Master Fang is indeed knowledgeable and talented, Jianwu admires him! Come on, Young Master Fang, Jianwu will give you a drink!"
Mr. Fang looked at Liu Jianwu's flattering expression with disdain in his heart, but on the surface he smiled softly and allowed Liu Jianwu to fill the wine glass for him. He half-smiled but said, "Brother Jianwu, what's the matter? Fang has already helped Jianwu."
Brother Wu won! But in the future, Fang will still have to rely on Brother Jianwu for support!"
Liu Jianwu was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed, "Thank you so much, Mr. Fang, for your support! Thank you so much, Mr. Fang, for your support! But if there is an assignment, Jianwu will always obey!"
A trace of disgust and disdain flashed in Mr. Fang's eyes, but it only passed away briefly. He smiled and patted Liu Jianwu on the shoulder, "Brother Jianwu, are we brothers? Haha! We should share the blessings and the talents together.
yes!"
"What Mr. Fang said is absolutely true! Jianwu took note of it!" Liu Jianwu quickly responded with his hands and fists.
…………
At this time, the atmosphere in Liu Ruyi's study was freezing!
Liu Ruyi's face was expressionless, her brows were furrowed, and she didn't know what she was thinking about! Liu Hanyi on the side was also dejected. He picked up the wine bottle on the table and drank it all, then slammed the wine bottle on the ground.
He said guiltily: "Ruyi, it's my brother who is sorry for you!"
Liu Ruyi suddenly laughed loudly, "Brother, it's up to people to plan things, and it's up to God to make things happen! Since we have tried our best, why should we be so worried?"
Liu Hanyi was startled, "But, Ruyi, my brother can't do anything for you..."
Liu Hanyi wanted to say something else, but Liu Ruyi waved her hand and looked into Liu Hanyi's eyes, "Brother, has the matter been settled?"
Liu Hanyi nodded and explained in a low voice: "This matter could have been solved safely! But somehow, it seems that someone from the top has spoken out, and there is nothing we can do about it! As expected, I guess there will be another seven or eight
On the same day, the formal appointment documents will be issued, so you have to prepare in advance!"
Liu Ruyi nodded slightly, thought for a moment, and suddenly sneered: "Brother, since they want me to work hard, they have to give me some benefits, right?"
"Yes!" Liu Hanyi couldn't help but smile bitterly, "The position is still Nancheng Guard Qianhu, but if you can make some meritorious deeds during this trip, they promise to promote you to guerrilla!"
"Is this a bad check?" Liu Ruyi sneered.
Jinan City is the capital of Shandong. It originally had two guerrillas. One was stationed in the Beicheng Camp, and the other was stationed in the Xicheng Camp. They were both under the direct jurisdiction of the Shandong General Army! The current situation is chaotic, and there are some soldiers who can fight.
, have already been deployed to various places to suppress bandits, and almost all of them have been pulled under Ni Chong's command. Now Liu Ruyi is asked to go to suppress bandits, where will this force come from?
Liu Hanyi didn't know how to comfort Liu Ruyi. He took out a stack of banknotes from his arms and handed it to Liu Ruyi, "Ruyi, this is one hundred thousand taels. Apart from your fifty thousand taels, the rest belongs to me and the old man."
Come on, it never hurts to bring a little extra money when you go out!"
Liu Ruyi nodded, did not refuse, and put away the banknote, "Brother, I know this matter well! However, after I leave, you must be more careful, some people are afraid of being evil! If it really reaches that level,
Brother, you can discuss with the old man and retreat to this Colorful Stone Town with your family! Although my town is small, it is extremely strong. With your ability, there should be no problem in defending it!"
Liu Hanyi was also a little moved. He held Liu Ruyi's hand tightly and said, "Ruyi, don't worry! After I get back, I will explain the interests to the old man!"
…………
Five days later, the Ministry of War officially issued a transfer order!
Liu Jianwu, who was originally a guard of thousands of households in Zhangqiu, was promoted to a guard in the north city of Jinan City. Although his rank has not changed, his position is different. Liu Jianwu has made a big step forward!
Liu Ruyi, a former official of the Hundred Households in Caishi Town, was a promising man, brave and good at fighting, and was promoted to the garrison of the south city of Jinan City. However, due to the chaos caused by bandits in the Central Plains, Liu Ruyi's headquarters was specially transferred to Henan and attached to the command of the chief military officer Zuo Liangyu.
Xiang Min, a former guerrilla from Zuoying in Jinan City, was promoted to the rank of general. From that day on, he led his troops to Henan and attached himself to Hong Chengchou, the governor of the three sides, to encircle and suppress the main force of bandits.
…………
After more than a dozen transfer orders, seven to eight thousand troops were mobilized from all over Shandong and rushed to Henan. The imperial court was really determined this time!
Looking at the newspaper in her hand, Liu Ruyi frowned.
At the end of the ninth year of Chongzhen, Gao Yingxiang, king of Chuang, was captured in Ma Zhaoyuan. The refugee army fell apart and their morale plummeted!
At the beginning of the tenth year, the bandits "Eight Great Kings Zhang Xianzhong's Tribe", "Lao Hui Hui's Tribe", "Cao Cao Luo Rucai's Tribe", "Chuang Taotian" and other tribes moved eastward along the Yangtze River and were blocked when they reached Anqing.
In March, a small number of thieves went west, while most of them fled to southern Henan.
In April, Yang Sichang, the chief minister of the cabinet and Minister of War, returned to his hometown to be his father Ding You. Xiong Wencan, the former governor of Guangdong and Guangxi and governor of Guangdong, took over as Minister of War and concurrently served as the right deputy capital envoy.
In May, the newly appointed Secretary of the Ministry of War Xiong Wencan, the governor of the three frontiers Hong Chengchou, the governor of Shaanxi Sun Chuanting, and the governor of Xuanda Lu Xiangsheng led troops into Henan. Together with Zuo Liangyu, who had been lingering on the edge of Henan, they hoped to take advantage of the thieves' weakness and defeat them in one fell swoop.
Kill to share the emperor's worries!
From this point of view, when Liu Ruyi is showing weakness, the court's move is really understandable! However, Liu Ruyi's heart was still clouded by placing himself under the command of the 'thief general' Zuo Liangyu.
shadow.
…………
"Ruyi, my son, you must be careful, you must be careful!" Outside the gate of Liu Mansion, Mrs. Zou held Liu Ruyi's hand tightly and refused to let go for a long time.
Xiao Zixin, Chun Yunu and Qing'er also had tears on their faces and gathered around Liu Ruyi, heartbroken.
Liu Ruyi also had mixed emotions in her heart. She finally got rid of the stumbling blocks on her way forward. She had just returned home and had only stayed for a few days, but now she was about to go on an expedition again!
"Mom, don't worry! The child will definitely come back safely!" Liu Ruyi gently hugged her mother, Zou, and then hugged the girls in front of her.
Chunyunu and Qing'er had already been close to Liu Ruyi. They threw themselves into Liu Ruyi's arms and cried loudly. However, Xiao Zixin, who was originally reserved, also threw herself into Liu Ruyi's arms with force. She was fiercely in Liu Ruyi's arms.
Liu Ruyi took a bite on his chest and shouted loudly: "Ruyi, you must come back alive! Otherwise, I will wait for you forever!"
Liu Ruyi felt sad in her heart, but she didn't know what to say, so she could only turn around silently, not looking at their pretty, tearful faces.
At this time, Zhao Canghai quickly rushed forward and whispered in Liu Ruyi's ear: "Sir, everything is ready!"
Liu Ruyi nodded and called Jia Dazhuang, who was left behind, "Everything in the town and the brothers' families will be handed over to me!"
Jia Dazhuang knelt down on the ground and kowtowed three times hard, blood oozing from his head as he knelt, "Don't worry, sir, the city is alive and the people are there, but the city dies and everyone dies!"
"Okay!" Liu Ruyi pulled him up, "Good man! Good brother! Ruyi, please!"
Originally, Liu Ruyi wanted to leave Zhao Canghai to guard Caishi Town, but due to insufficient troops, he had to go to Jinan Nancheng to receive nearly a thousand troops from the former Nancheng garrison Yang Yibin. Liu Ruyi did not dare to be careless, so he had to leave the relatively honest and steady Zhao Canghai.
There is no other way for Jia Dazhuang to stay!
This time, there were nearly 600 soldiers in Caishi Town. Except for 200 who stayed to guard, Liu Ruyi pulled out all the remaining 400 people. Moreover, he also selected 30 strong people from the craftsmen's households.
, specially used to make the 'Mountain Thunder'. After all, the time was too short, and it was too late to make a blunderbuss. Liu Ruyi could only bite the bullet and rush forward!
"Sir, the auspicious time has come!" A soldier stepped forward and whispered.
Liu Ruyi gritted her teeth, straightened her neck, and without looking at her mother and Xiao Zixin's daughters behind her, she fiercely pulled out the sword from her waist, pointed it in front of her, and shouted loudly: "I am the Ming Dynasty——"
"Wan Sheng!"
"Wonderful victory! Wonderful victory!"
Nearly four hundred soldiers shouted loudly, and their voices echoed through the sky!
Liu Ruyi looked at these hot faces and felt proud in her heart!
'War may be a very scary thing to others, but to you, what does it mean? It's just a shortcut to your promotion and fortune! How can a mere thief stop you?
Steps forward?'
At this time, several military men came up with several large bowls of strong wine. Liu Ruyi opened his palms, cut a hole with his sword, and handed them to several wine bowls. Zhao Canghai, Xiao Liuer, Huo Lang,
The same goes for Chun Wa and the other officers!
Liu Ruyi picked up the wine bowl, signaled to everyone, drank the bloody liquor in one gulp, threw the wine bowl to the ground, and shouted loudly: "Let's go!"
