Chapter 145: Chuan Court goes south

Zhang Nai and Shuangxi were waiting outside the inner house and were anxious and wanted to go in several times, but Hong Niangzi's female soldiers stopped him and refused to let him in.

"It's out!"

Suddenly, Zhang Nai exclaimed.

Shuangxi looked inside, and her mind suddenly buzzed, and she was in a bad mood!

In the past, Huiying wore a strong suit and a headscarf, but tonight, she was wearing a long lake green dress, a gold-lined cloud patterned wool, a beaded hairpin on her head, and a light makeup on her face.

Huiying is very beautiful, but the problem is that it is like a female student at the Anti-Japanese University suddenly wore a cheongsam, which was obviously corrupt and degenerate. Besides, this was in the Li Xin family. He and Huiying had known each other for ten years and had never seen Huiying dress like this before, especially as the wind drifted, there was a sensational fragrance of powder.

"Huiying, why do you dress like this?"

Shuangxi's face was calm and she couldn't help but scold her.

Huiying frowned and said unhappily: "Brother Shuangxi, isn't it normal for a woman to wear a skirt? Why can't I wear a skirt?"

"this……"

Shuangxi knew that Huiying’s words made sense, but she felt very uncomfortable.

Huimei explained from the side: "Mr. Li went to the banquet, and the matchmaker invited Huiying and I into the inner house. A few of us set up a table by ourselves. After the meal, Mrs. Zhou taught us to put on makeup. I think it's okay. Of course, we don't care about marching and fighting, but usually, we shouldn't dress ourselves up beautifully? Or, don't you like to see our beautiful appearance? Zhang Nai, you said!"

Zhang Nai embarrassedly, scratched the back of his head and said, "Huimei, of course I like it, but you... I don't know what to say, I always feel that you are not dressing up for me, and I feel uncomfortable. If you stay away from Li's place in the future, he will not be a good thing. By the way, how can you come out after he comes back for a while?"

Huiying asked back, "Zhang Nai, what do you think Huimei and I are doing inside?"

Zhang Nai was asked and said unnaturally: "I believe you have nothing to do with the one named Li, but it's better not to talk to him less. I said he has a bad character. Huiying may think I'm slandering him, but it's better to keep the boundaries between him and the King of Chuang sooner or later."

Shuangxi also said: "Tonight the salt merchant gave him two beauties. He refused and then stopped the show. Zhang Nai and I also had beauties with us, but we didn't even touch each other and didn't take him away when we left. Uncle Yigong can testify."

"So what?"

Huiying said lightly.

"Huiying, can't you see through his true face? That's a lustful person. You're with him and you're tired of playing and kicking you away. What should you do?"

Shuangxi was anxious and said loudly.

If Shuangxi said this to her before seeing Caiyi Caishang, Huiying might feel uncomfortable, but now, she just pity and sympathizes Caiyi Caishang, not to mention that through tonight's indirect attacks, she felt that Li Xin was still very self-disciplined.

Although on the surface, Shuangxi is more self-disciplined than Li Xin, Shuangxi worships the King of Chuang. How many women are there around the King of Chuang? It is hard to say what Shuangxi will be like in the future.

Because she had never considered marrying Shuangxi, Huiying had an objective view of Shuangxi. She always felt that it was natural for men to be greedy and lustful. Like Li Xin, she would be satisfied if she could control her. But like Shuangxi, treating women like a beast, gives her a sense of unreality.

As when talking about Li Xin that night, Sun Ti said, honest people are actually quite terrible. Because of their cowardice, they always swallow their anger into their stomachs, and their resentment will accumulate deeper and deeper. When one day breaks out, they may do something they dare not imagine.

"Okay, I don't want to talk to you about such a topic. You and Zhang Nai have drunk a lot of wine tonight. Let's take a break soon. Huimei, let's go!"

Huiying pulled Huimei up and turned around and left. Huimei sighed.

It was not until the two women's backs disappeared at the corner that Shuangxi couldn't bear it and punched the wall hard, and said hatefully: "Zhang Nai, am I useless? I can't even keep a woman? What's the good thing about the one named Li?"

Zhang Nai was also puzzled, but at the same time, he felt very lucky because Huimei's heart was still tied to him.

...

It is definitely a big deal for Yangzhou to change days. Fortunately, Yangzhou citizens did not feel much impact. They even felt relaxed and at ease due to the layoffs of many yamen. After Li Xin made a detailed list of care for Li Lanzhi, he began to remove the prostitutes and incorporate the literate literacy into the teaching staff. Of course, training is required to take up the post.

At the same time, another important thing is training. The current revolutionary army recruited a large number of salt residents to join the army and surrendered Ming army. After screening, 36,000 people were left behind. The regiment was not suitable for the maximum organization. Li Xin promoted the regiment to a brigade, four musket regiments, two artillery regiments, and two bow and archery regiments to brigade-level combat units. The regiment commander was directly promoted to brigade commander, and officers at all levels were promoted in sequence, and the remaining troops also rose to one level.

Before we knew it, three days passed, Yangzhou city was calm and public security was initially restored. Yangzhou urban construction is still in the stage of intention and coordination, and a preliminary investigation of Yangzhou was started. It is estimated that it will not be until the end of the year before the details can be found.

It was also on this day that on the west bank of the canal, a group of about 10,000 Ming troops moved downstream along the river. This team of Ming troops was the Jing camp led by Sun Chuanting. Compared with the local garrisons, the Jing camp officers and soldiers were well-equipped. With only 10,000 people, there were as many as fifty red cannons, the Shenji camp accounted for half, with a total of 3,000 archers and cavalrymen, and only two thousand were sword and shield soldiers.

Although the Beijing camp was arrogant, Sun Chuanting was famous and had the Shangfang sword given by Chongzhen, which was enough to suppress the arrogant soldiers and generals of the Beijing camp. However, Sun Chuanting's face was calm. The news of the fall of Yangzhou had spread. Li Xin summoned tens of thousands of salt dynasties, and it was heard of it. Even when he was transiting Gaoyou, he seduced several people in Gaoyou to inquire about the situation. As a result, he realized that Li Xin was different from thieves like Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, and he also had the intention of attacking Gaoyou while Gaoyou was weak.

He was afraid of being trapped in Gaoyou, so he was besieged by Li Xin, so he decided to go to Nanjing first and recruit money and grain personnel, but Chongzhen only gave him half a year, which made him feel uneasy.

What can I do in half a year?

After slept in the imperial prison for two years and was released, Sun Chuanting realized that the world today was very different from two years ago. At that time, Li Zicheng was chased by him like a stray dog, and Zhang Xianzhong was trapped in the small Gucheng. At this time, Li Zicheng gathered in the Nanyang area, and the court was unable to interfere. Zhang Xianzhong broke Xiangyang, killed the whole family of King Xiang, and the fifth camp of the Greedule went down the mountain to rob Luzhou. Li Xin emerged from the Jianghuai army, threatened Nanjing and the canal transportation.

“Oh ~~”

Sun Chuanting sighed. If the situation was still beneficial to the court two years ago, then two years later, the court would be like a candle in the wind, shaking. The root cause of all this was Chongzhen. If Chongzhen had not been eager for quick success and instant benefits and transferred Hong Chengchou and himself, even if Li Zicheng escaped into Shangluo Mountain, he would probably not dare to show up. But what's the use of these?

"Build the army, there is a boat coming down the canal!"

At this time, there were personal soldiers around him pointing towards the canal.

I saw several warships on the calm river, flowing down the river.

"Hmm? It's the thief's ship! Get up the cannon!"

Sun Chuanting's heart moved and ordered repeatedly.

The red cannon was set up along the canal, and the Flang machine on the ship was completely powerless to fight back. But what surprised Sun Chuanting was that a ship in the middle pushed out two fat men, and someone shouted: "Who dares to be rude to the prince and the prince here?"

"Don't fire, don't fire, I am King Fu, Wanli's parent-child!"

One of the big fat men shouted.

Although Sun Chuanting had never seen King Fu, and although King Fu was only wearing ordinary coarse clothes, his demeanor was obviously the royal prince. Sun Chuanting had a letter, so he waved his palm.

The soldier stood still with a beating torch.

"Let the prince be released soon, and the headquarters can let you go!"

Sun Chuanting shouted sternly.

“Haha~~”

A loud laughter came from the ship: "But Sun Chuanting? Haha, I have been jailed for two years and was released. You have to thank our commander-in-chief. I advise you to go to Nanjing to take office honestly. Don't be too troublesome, otherwise it won't be a big deal if we die. If King Fu is killed, I'm afraid Chongzhen will destroy your nine clans!"

"presumptuous!"

Sun Chuanting's beard was trembling. When did the thief become so rampant?

But King Fu was on the ship, which was equivalent to a hostage in his hand. He really didn't dare to fire the cannon. It was no joke to kill King Fu.

"Military ~~"

Someone next to him hesitated to speak.

"Sink another ship first!"

Sun Chuanting was not a threatened master, and he shouted loudly.

Another long laugh came from the boat: "Sun Chuanting, as long as you dare to fire one shot, I will chop up the King of Fu's arm, fire five shots, chop up his five limbs, and come if you have the general!"

Sun Chuanting was almost mad, but he didn't dare to take this risk, so he could only say angrily: "Follow him!"
