Two hundred and twenty-fourth chapter Zongzi Shixiong
"It's just that this road is difficult! The surrounding area of Guangfu has become a mess, especially the counties suppressed by the Kun people's military force. But once they leave the territory under the jurisdiction of the Kun people, the villagers and bandits everywhere will become lawless. If we take the 6th road
, whether it is going to Hunan, Jiangxi or Fujian, it is not safe. In this way, if you want to go to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, you can only borrow the Kun people's sea route and go straight to Shanghai." Speaking of this, Liang Cunhou could not hide it.
Feeling the strange feeling in his heart, he sighed softly, and then said: "I just don't know if the Kun people are conducting strict interrogations. This method of taking the Kun people's sea route may be more dangerous than taking the 6th route..." After that,
This is enough. Liang Cunhou stared at Huang Hankun closely.
Huang Xunkun hesitated and pondered for a long time - Liang Cunhou originally wanted him to go to the more remote counties in the Pearl River Delta to launch a rebellion. This plan later came to an abrupt end. It turns out that although the Australians spread the word everywhere, but in remote areas,
Road security is very chaotic,
The temporary disappearance of the authority of the government caused the already weak respect for the "King's Law" to completely disappear. Taking advantage of the troubled times, gangsters hoping to make a fortune were everywhere, and the rural landlords and clans formed strongholds to practice bravery to protect themselves. For a time, people were everywhere.
They were all kinds of "people". Bandits, clans, local tyrants, all kinds of old and new grudges broke out together, and the countryside was instantly plunged into melee. All ships from Guangzhou to the inland rivers of the Pearl River Delta were stopped. You can also walk on the 6th road.
It was not safe. The person Liang Cunhou was preparing to meet in other counties also lost contact because of the traffic interruption. No matter how ambitious Huang Hankun was, he would not dare to die blindly, so he had to stay in Liang's house to kill time. His daily pastime was
He explained "Kun Studies" with people from Yuyuan Society and talked about his experiences in Lingao and Qiongzhou.
Liang Cunhou sometimes participated in such "lectures", but other than that he was invisible and no one knew what he was busy with - the servants of the Liang family kept silent about their master's affairs. He just
Living like this is like living under house arrest.
Recently, there has been progress in the "security crackdown" work everywhere. At least in the states and counties around Guangzhou, the roads and river transportation are basically safe. There are also armed escort teams in more remote places, so it is possible for this plan to continue to be implemented. This matter
He had already mentioned it to Liang Cunhou, but nothing happened. Unexpectedly, he was now asked to go to Jiangnan to seek help!
From the bottom of his heart, he said that he did not want to go to Jiangnan for help. He could imagine this feeling - it was a hot-faced affair, and the words were all depressing things.
Among them, living a comfortable life, how many people who are worried about the country and the people would listen to him, a bereaved dog, "howling in mourning"?
He would rather do what Mr. Liang had planned, sneak into remote counties alone, form volunteers, practice local bravery, kill bandits, and relive the past when he followed his father to lead troops to suppress bandits and destroy bandits - every scholar has a
Huang Hankun is no exception to the dream of "drunk and burning the light to watch a sword".
Liang Cunhou knew what he was thinking and said: "There are hundreds of thousands on Qiongya Island and more than a million in Guangzhou. There are people who are familiar with the relationship and there are people who are impassioned. The only one who can do both is Huang Xiandi!"
When the words came to this point, he had no choice but to agree, and then resolutely said: "I know, the person who sent the message must also be familiar with benevolence. Looking at this land of millions of Guangfu, who else can I do?"
!Everything depends on Brother Liang’s orders!”
Perhaps because this "Internal Training Material" was too stimulating to everyone present, everyone in the garden today lost interest. After a while, a few people dispersed. As usual in recent months, everyone here
As soon as they dispersed, there was a noise in the partition with the bead curtain screen, as if someone was going out from another direction. Everyone still thought it was the elders of the Liang family listening to their discussion in the partition, and they didn't take it seriously.
As usual, they didn't bother to ask Mr. Liang any questions. They said goodbye to each other and then went their separate ways.
However, Huang Hankun did not leave immediately. After everyone had left, he brought up the topic of gathering volunteers in other places again.
"Brother Xian doesn't need to worry about this matter." A mysterious smile appeared on Liang Cunhou's face, "Brother Yu already has a more suitable candidate."
Liang Cunhou stood at the door of the courtyard and watched Huang Kunbu and others leave. He did not go back to his study as usual, but turned around several corridors and arrived in front of an elegant room in the back garden of his father's courtyard. He straightened his clothes and sang
The famous saying was: "My younger brother Cuunhou, please send my greetings to my eldest brother, my dearest brother!"
This "eldest son and elder brother" is Zhang Dai. Ever since his interest was aroused by his friends in the society, Zhang Dai has been planning a trip to the south to see the new scenery of Kun people in person. Of course, more importantly, to taste it.
Taste authentic Australian and Song Dynasty food. However, the material conditions of that era made it impossible to "travel on the go", so Zhang Dai's trip was postponed until the end of last year.
Zhang Dai's grandfather, Zhang Rulin, was a Jinshi in the 23rd year of Wanli. He was in the same year as Liang Cunhou's grandfather, Liang Younian. Later Liang Younian became the right chief envoy of Zhejiang, in charge of Zhang Rulin's hometown; Zhang Rulin also became the governor of Guangxi.
The Chief Secretary, Councilor, is in charge of the Liang family's financial resources. In their later years, the two old guys each rose to high positions in the feudal lords, but they became closely connected. This "year-old friendship" was maintained and maintained as generations of people in the two families were elected.
At a tepid level, of course, in the generation of Zhang Dai and Liang Cunhou, there are more economic ties with Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and extensive economic ties. Zhang Dai started to think about going south, and this was naturally the place of choice for his family and himself.
The Liang family of "world friends". The original plan was to go to Guangzhou two years ago and spend a Guangli-style New Year at the family home of world friends. After the bustle of the first month was over, we would go to Lingao to see the wonders. However, we didn't want to first encounter the bad weather this year and Guangzhou.
It actually snowed, and before the Lunar New Year was over, the Kun people actually captured the city of Guangzhou. Naturally, Zhang Dai was "trapped" in the city of Guangzhou and did not dare to run around at will.
Although Guangzhou was "lost", the Liang family could not suffer Zhang Dai anyhow. When he first panicked, the Liang family also suggested that he hide in the Liang family's old house in Xingtan Town. However, Zhang Dai was reluctant to let go of the foodie talent he inherited from his grandfather.
There are all kinds of novel foods that are easy to eat in Guangzhou. Secondly, the Kun people’s activities in Guangzhou city also aroused Zhang Dai’s interest. Instead of hiding in the countryside, it is better to observe them closely in the city. Liang Cunhou’s father
Liang Wendao thought about it and felt that he was justified. After all, Zhang Dai had nothing to do with Kun Ren, and he came to Guangli to "visit friends." There was no need for Kun Ren to touch him. In fact, in his mind, Kun Ren was no longer a "bandit."
However, necessary measures were still needed, at least to show that the Liang family "valued" Zhang Dai, so Zhang Dai moved from the side room to live in the Accord in the back garden of Liang Wendao's own yard to "temporarily avoid the limelight".
After all, Zhang Dai is still a figure of Liang Cunhou's generation, and Zhang Dai's literary name and background are far from those of Liang Cunhou in Guangli, so Liang Cunhou also deliberately tries to please Zhang Dai. When he first came here, Zhang Dai made it clear that he was interested in Australian thieves, and Liang Cunhou
So he asked Zhang Dai to participate in the activities of re-seating in the small building of Yuyuan Society. Originally, he wanted Zhang Dai to sit in the cubicle once or twice, and then Liang Cunhou would grandly introduce the "Shaoxing celebrities" to the stage. But he didn't sit in once or twice.
The city of Guangzhou has changed. For security reasons, Liang Cunhou did not dare to let Zhang Dai appear casually - in an extraordinary period, a northern scholar suddenly appeared in the "enemy-occupied area", and Liang Cunhou could not keep everyone in the society united - so
In the past few months, Zhang Dai has still been "auditing" the activities of Yuyuan Society through a screen and beaded curtain. Today, Liang Cunhou also specially asked Zhang Dai to attend because he was planning to follow Zhang Dai's path and bring about "the great changes in Guangfu".
"The news was brought back to Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and even the capital.
"A good brother doesn't need to be polite." Zhang Dai was in his forties, so he naturally accepted the title "Brother" when facing Liang Cunhou, who was in his thirties. Just when Liang Cunhou was seeing off his guests, Zhang Dai had already sat down.
While savoring the newly launched Australian snack called "Cookie", he read a book of application sample questions. Next to him were several different versions of various exam materials, which the Liang family collected from the market.
of.
"Brother, what do you think of Huang Xunkun?" Liang Cunhou and Zhang Dai had been very close to each other during this period. Knowing that he had a casual temper, he stopped being polite and went straight to the core of the problem.
"He is an enthusiastic person." Zhang Dai responded calmly. This attitude surprised Liang Cunhou.
Zhang Dai was silent at first. After reading the question in his hand, he turned over the page and then replied: "There's nothing wrong with going north to deliver the news. This guy is very good. It's just that I don't plan to go back with him." He paused.
After a pause, Zhang Dai turned his head and looked at Liang Cunhou with firm eyes and said, "I still want to go to Lingao to visit."
Liang Cunhou couldn't help but frown after hearing this. Could it be that Zhang Shixiong was also bewitched by the Kun thief? I guess not, his family business and population are all in Shaoxing, and the hostility shown by the Kun thief this time towards Confucian scholars is even worse.
It is so obvious that Zhang Dai cannot have a good impression of Kun thief - but maybe...if we think about it from the perspective of loyalty, does this Zhang Shixiong want to go to Lingao in person to "explore Kun's love"? After all, Huang Henkun is a "
"Outsiders", although they could get in touch with the gentry of Jiangsu and Zhejiang through the old connections of the Liang family, they did not have a strong voice after all. And if Zhang Dai, the big boss of Fushe, went to investigate in person, what he said would be more credible.
"Is Brother Shi going to go into the tiger's den himself? This is an act of sincerity and justice..." Liang Cunhou followed the "loyalty line" to praise Zhang Dai, while observing Zhang Dai's expression, but found that his expression did not change.
"They are all human beings," Liang Cunhou commented in his mind, and stopped wasting his energy. After a few more pleasantries and some gossip about food and daily life, he left and went directly to his father Liang Wendao to report the new situation.
