Chapter 406 The young wife who just passed the door

Fengyang Prefecture, Zhongdu Left-behind the Department.

After a full month of fierce battles, the Ming army defenders finally cooperated inside and outside to repel the attack of the rioters. The Shaanxi rioters led by Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and others were unable to capture Fengyang Prefecture and had to retreat to the direction of Luzhou Prefecture and Anqing Prefecture. On the entire Fengyang Prefecture front line, the rioters left thousands of corpses. For the Ming army, this was a rare victory in recent years. After the victory was brought forward, Long Yan was very happy and ordered commendation.

On the sixth day of the third month, Yang Yipeng, Minister of Revenue, Governor of Fengyang, and Governor of the Grain Transport, held a celebration banquet to reward the soldiers who had made contributions. The Ming army leading the army to assist Fengyang Prefecture was quite active, so the leaders of the Ming army were invited by Yang Yipeng. Since Hong Chengchou was still in Shaanxi, Zhu Dadian, the governor of Shandong who led his army to support, was naturally the first contribution. Therefore, Yang Yipeng asked him to take the position of the head.

Of course, Zhu Dadian had to refuse. Yang Yipeng's official position should be above him. More importantly, Yang Yipeng was a Jinshi in the 38th year of Wanli. He was in the 44th year of Wanli, which was six years later than the other party. The distance between these six years was very fatal. When placing the seniors, the year of the Jinshi was the most important. This is also the main reason why Shi Kefa wanted to be a junior in front of Zhang Shenyan. In the end, Yang Yipeng sat on his head and Zhu Dadian sat on his head.

Of course, Zhu Dadian was also very satisfied with his contributions. Among the reinforcements that rushed to Fengyang Prefecture this time, he was the most active. He killed the most enemies and made the most contributions. Therefore, while maintaining respect for Yang Yipeng, it is also OK to damage someone who did not attend the celebration banquet. With the intention of drinking, Zhu Dadian said intentionally or unintentionally: "Brother Yang, if that Hong Laojiu comes, he will naturally be the first one, but it's a pity...haha."

Yang Yipeng smiled meaningfully and said casually: "The Fengyang Mansion is too small to accommodate big people."

Yang Yipeng was really annoyed about Hong Chengchou. When the rioters attacked Fengyang Prefecture, Hong Chengchou, the governor of the five provinces, was still in Shaanxi and had not arrived in Henan yet! If Zhu Dadian and others had not actively rushed for help, Fengyang Prefecture would have fallen long ago. Fengyang Prefecture fell, and he, the governor of Fengyang, would have been the fate of siegeing his family and exterminated the clan. Therefore, Yang Yipeng was angry and fiercely participated in Hong Chengchou's book. The two of them were in the same power and had deep hatred. Even if Hong Chengchou arrived at Fengyang Prefecture today, he probably wouldn't attend this celebration banquet.

Zhu Dadian laughed and said nothing.

Like him, Hong Chengchou was a Jinshi in the 44th year of Wanli. The problem is that Hong Chengchou was one round smaller than Zhu Dadian, in other words, he was twelve years younger. But now Hong Chengchou is the governor of five provinces and has a lot of extremely prominent titles. Zhu Dadian is just the governor of Shandong, and he only has an inconspicuous right assistant minister of the Ministry of War, which is far inferior to Hong Chengchou.

As a result, Zhu Dadian was a little unhappy. He was not willing to be inferior to others, and he was even more unwilling to be inferior to his superiors. He and Hong Chengchou were both Jinshis of the same year, and Hong Chengchou had a title that was much higher than him. When they met, he would inevitably be etiquette of subordinates. As soon as they thought of this, Zhu Dadian felt very awkward.

There is actually a reason why Zhu Dadian, who was full of confidence, rushed to Fengyang Mansion so actively. He has always been staring at Yang Yipeng's butt: the position of the Governor of the Canal Transport. The Governor of the Canal Transport is so greasy. Zhu Dadian was so jealous that he was about to get angry.

He, as the governor of Shandong, is actually not easy to fix. The Wenxiang Sect made Shandong a mess, and its fiscal revenue continued to decrease. The Wenxiang Sect's people failed to build, but they were very troublesome to deal with. Shandong has suffered from severe droughts for years, and there was no harvest in crops. The court has increased the salary year after year, and tax revenue has become less and less. Simply put, there is really no place to make money in Shandong at present. If you continue to stay in Shandong, you will never expect a chance of promotion in your life.

Zhu Dadian did not get much credit for the last time when he wiped out Tianheng Island. All the main reasons were Yang Wenyue and others. The most fundamental reason was that of the chief minister Wen Tiren. Although Zhu Dadian was greedy for money and power, he was still a relatively upright person. When Wei Yin was in chaos, he also wrote a letter to impeach Wei Yin, but was dismissed from office and exiled. Wen Tiren continued to use Wei Yin's remnants, so he naturally had to stop Zhu Dadian's promotion. Therefore, Zhu Dadian's later promotion was also very unsuccessful, and it was not until the fifth year of Chongzhen that he was promoted to the governor of Shandong.

Fortunately, now I finally guarded the clouds and saw the moon bright. The memorial to report the victory should be able to move it. This time, even if Wen Tiren had a gap with him, I had to suggest moving him? As long as I leave this ghost place in Shandong, I will not have to be angry with Wen Tiren.

"By the way, Zhang Zhun, has there been any movement recently?" Yang Yipeng suddenly asked during the banquet.

In the first month of the year, Zhang Zhun dispatched a large army to rush around Laizhou Prefecture and captured the entire Laizhou Prefecture. Yang Yipeng knew that the attack on Laizhou Prefecture means that Zhang Zhun was truly and completely on the road of rebellion. Yang Yipeng advocated a resolute attack on such a rebel and was never ruthless. However, the battle in Fengyang Prefecture made Yang Yipeng have some complicated feelings for Zhang Zhun. After all, Zhang Zhun reminded him that the rioters were about to attack Fengyang Prefecture.

In fact, the rioters did attack Fengyang Mansion. This matter was very dangerous. Without Zhang Zhun's reminder, without preparation in advance, and without asking Ming troops from all over the country to quickly rush for assistance, Yang Yipeng felt that Fengyang Mansion could not be saved. Fengyang Mansion could not be saved, so naturally he and the eunuch Yang Ze of the military supervisor would not be saved either.

Because of this, Yang Ze, the good-looking man, has a good impression of Zhang Zhun. He is an old man, and he has no extravagance and just wants to live a stable life. Zhang Zhun's reminder just made the military eunuch turn bad luck, so the old eunuch would talk about Zhang Zhun's benefits from time to time. He also discussed with Yang Yipeng that if Zhang Zhun was caught, what would happen to save Zhang Zhun's life. If Zhang Zhun could work hard for the court, it would be even better.

Zhu Dadian said proudly: "Wait until I go back and get rid of him!"

Zhu Dadian was fully confident about this. His personal soldiers were all the healthy soldiers he recruited, with a total of 4,000 people. Among them, 1,500 were cavalry. Whether it was training or weapons, Zhu Dadian felt very good. In this battle to aid Fengyang Mansion, his 4,000 personal soldiers performed very well, killing the riot army so hard that they were overturned and blood flowed into a river. Among the riot army, there was a general named Hao Yaoqi, who was almost caught by him.

Of course, it is not low to raise these 4,000 personal soldiers, but it costs a lot of money. Because of the need to raise soldiers, when Zhu Dadian was the governor of Shandong, he did do his best to fill his pockets. The same is true for the position of the governor of the Cao Transport. It would be impossible for him to take the governor of the Cao Transport in his own hands and train tens of thousands of personal soldiers.

Seriously speaking, Hong Chengchou has been slow to go out in Shaanxi, because the training of the soldiers has not been completed? According to the news he received, Hong Chengchou formed a team of 6,000 people in Shaanxi, divided into two battalions, and is practicing day and night near Tongguan. Nowadays, if there is no personal soldiers of his own, you should not expect to win a battle! Other people's soldiers will never listen to you at the most dangerous times!

Yang Yipeng nodded thoughtfully and said slowly: "If this person can be used by us, he may be able to play some role."

Zhu Dadian smiled and said, "Kuncen, aren't you kidding?"

After saying that, he pointed at the sky with his finger.

Yang Yipeng shook his head mockingly, then nodded, and said helplessly: "Yanzhi's words are reasonable, because I think too much."

Zhu Dadian pointed to the sky, which naturally means that Emperor Chongzhen’s edict was not dry, so you have to change the emperor’s edict? Isn’t this seeking death? Without his old man’s edict, who dares to take the initiative to discuss peace with Zhang Zhun? Look at Chen Qiyu and Xiong Wencan, what is the outcome now? The two were imprisoned, because they were negotiated with peace with the car box and gorge?

Holding up the wine glass, Zhu Dadian said confidently: "When I go back, I will fight Ruan Dacheng with both sides. I must be good-looking Zhang Zhun."

Yang Yipeng thought, I was afraid that things might not be that simple. If Zhang Zhun was really so easy to deal with, Yang Wenyue and others would have dealt with Zhang Zhun long ago. Now, the fact is that Yang Wenyue was transferred away in shame, and Zhang Zhun controlled the entire territory of Shandong. Judging from Zhang Zhun's handling of Zheng Zhilong's subordinates that day, the combat effectiveness of this kid's subordinates should be quite amazing.

Now Zhang Zhun has his tail up to the sky. This guy doesn't know how to keep a low profile at all, nor does he know how to keep a low profile. He causes trouble everywhere, fearing that the world will not be in chaos. But he is so arrogant, so unscrupulous, and so arrogant that the Ming army around him has no choice but to deal with him. However, Zhang Zhun is still in Shandong's internal affairs, so he can do whatever he wants.

Zhu Dadian drank a glass of wine and said to himself: "This kid is only at this time that he has the chance to be arrogant. Shandong's troops are empty, which gives him a chance to take advantage of it. When I return to the army, he will have no chance to be arrogant."

Yang Yipeng nodded with a serious expression.

At this moment, a horse was catching up from outside the door, and came to Zhu Dadian with a nervous expression, and whispered a few words in a low voice.

Zhu Dadian drank a few more glasses of wine, and his heart surged. He didn't hear it clearly, so he said loudly: "What did you say? Tell me loudly, I can't hear it!"

Hesitated for a moment and looked around.

Zhu Dadian said impatiently: "Speak loudly, what did Zhang Zhun do to make trouble again?"

When they heard Zhang Zhun's name, almost everyone subconsciously closed their mouths. Liu Zeqing and Song Degang, generals from Shandong, subconsciously looked at the spy. Their first reaction was that Zhang Zhun might cause some trouble again. He is not a calm person!

The spy had to say loudly: "Report to the master, the army of the traitor Zhang Zhun attacked Qingzhou Prefecture! Qingzhou City was lost! Hengwang Mansion was lost!"

For a moment, the entire hall was silent.

Everyone present could hear every word from the spy clearly. However, some people reacted quickly, and some people reacted slowly. However, even those who reacted slowly were shocked and then reacted. Then, everyone's eyes were open, and they felt as if they had heard the most terrible news.

"What? The Heng Palace was conquered?"

Zhu Dadian's face was shaking, and his hands holding the teacup were shaking.

God! Zhang Zhun really can do anything!

Detain a vassal king!

It may even kill a vassal king!

When Zhu Dadian thought of this, his whole body felt cold. The Ming Dynasty was in trouble internally and externally. It had been a turmoil for several years. The royal palace had not been conquered and the prince was detained. The Shaanxi army made a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace in Henan, and several vassal kings in Henan were not frightened. Unexpectedly, such a precedent actually appeared in Shandong!

Liu Zeqing and Song Degang were also shocked. The two generals looked at each other and saw the fear in each other's eyes. Zhang Zhun actually conquered Qingzhou City, conquered King Heng's Mansion, and seized King Heng! This guy really had every move, and he wanted to take the world's worst and set a precedent in history!

Yang Yipeng was even more shocked and smiled bitterly. Zhang Zhun was really something that others dared not do, and he dared to do it. It was a pity that Zhang Shenyan and Shi Kefa wanted to convince him to serve the court. Now, even King Heng has been taken down by him, so why do you still talk about serving the court?

"Return to Shandong!"

Zhu Dadian's face turned pale, he crushed the wine glass in his hand with a bang, and shouted in anger.

...

"Master, this is mung bean cake."

"Master, this is Zhipan roasted pork."

"Master, this is the three-page cake."

"Master, this is a happy chicken and duck."

"Master, this is Ma Songbing."

"Master, this is mushroom stewed asparagus."

"Master, this is a fish from Xianyue Lake."

Yun Shang explained to Zhang Zhun one by one.

She was assigned to Qingzhou City by Ji Yuqing to serve Zhang Zhun. After all, Zhang Zhun is a man with strong physical desires and needs a lot of physical desires. If she cannot vent for a long time, she will have psychological problems. Now there is a mess outside, and anything may happen. If Zhang Zhun can't control her desires, it will be troublesome.

Ji Yuqing didn't want Zhang Zhun to do something untamed, such as rape of someone else's wife or something. Now the world is in chaos, whether it is the officers and soldiers or the chaotic army, if you catch a beautiful woman, you will definitely not let it go. Instead of letting Zhang Zhun become a person like Huang Chao and Zhu Wen, it would be better to arrange a few sisters by his side! It's clean and hygienic at least, right?

"So many delicious foods? It seems that I'm lucky today."

Zhang Zhun looked at it carefully and said with a smile.

These snacks and dishes are actually specialties from the surrounding areas of Weixian. They were specially brought to Zhang Zhun when Yunshang passed by Changle County. There is a very regrettable thing like Zhang Zhun, which is that he cannot easily go out to the people and taste these most primitive delicacies. Last time in Laiyang, he was plotted against by the Scented Sect. With such a lesson, Zhang Zhun now has basically no chance to visit him in private.

Zhang Zhun picked up a three-page cake and took a bite. He found it very delicious. These three-page cakes were made of refined flour, fine salt, water and dough, and raw soybean oil. They were rolled and baked. They were as thin as cicada wings, soft as brocade, and soft as brocade. They were fragrant with the mouth. Therefore, there is a saying that "three pages are like one, leaves are as thin as paper, and one shakes three times open", which makes people eat them for nothing and think of them as old as before.

He picked up a three-page cake and delivered it to Yun Shang's little mouth, and said with a smile: "Come on, I'll feed you."

Yun Shang opened her cherry mouth shyly and took a bite.

Zhang Zhun shook his head, took back the Sanyebiao, and said with a smile: "Every time I see you three sisters eating, it seems like they are pinching an ant to death. I swallow it slowly and chew it carefully. It takes half an hour for a meal, and I feel so painful. If I had eaten like you, I would have starved to death long ago."

Yun Shang's pink face turned slightly red and said in a low voice: "I am different from the master. The master is a person who wants to go to the battlefield. Of course, he has to eat enough to have the strength to fight against the enemy!"

Zhang Zhun looked at her belly and said with a smile: "Maybe you are two people eating now. You can't eat so little. Don't starve my child!"

Yun Shang's pink face became more and more blushing, and she was a little happy, and she whispered: "Master, I am actually very full. If I really had Xiaobao, I wouldn't be hungry."

Zhang Zhun nodded and said with a smile: "You like Ma Song cake so much. From now on, I will ask someone to send you some every day. This thing is worthless and tastes quite energetic."

Yun Shang was eating by her side and had a special liking for Ma Song cakes. Ma Song cakes are made of dough with light salt water. The water is soft and soft, so soft that it can almost flow. After the dough is mixed, it is put on and "wake up" for more than an hour before rolling it. It is usually rolled two pieces of dough. It is divided into three layers, applied oil layer by layer, and after baking, it is rolled into one piece, stretched and shaken, and it will spread into three pages. Each page is almost transparent, but it is evenly thick and thin without holes. The baking flowers are fine and evenly ripe and not paste. It tastes soft and strong, soft and delicious, with rich oil but not greasy, slightly salty and fragrant, and the more you chew, it will become more fragrant, and it will be enjoyable.

After looking at the dishes on the table, Zhang Zhun said again: "Just eating vegetarian food is not enough. You have to eat more chickens and ducks every day. You have to eat some meat to get energetic."

Yun Shang obediently agreed, just like a young wife who had just passed the door. In fact, she was indeed a young wife who had just passed the door. She was Zhang Zhun's third woman after Bai Snake and Ji Yuqing, so Zhang Zhun naturally loved her very much. Perhaps the two of them couldn't say that they had any feelings now, so they could definitely be cultivated slowly in the future.

After eating and drinking, Zhang Zhun took out a small cloth bag from his arms and gave it to Yun Shang, and said with a smile: "Well, let me give it to you!"

Yun Shang took it curiously, felt heavy, and asked in confusion: "Master, what is this?"

Zhang Zhun smiled and said, "You won't open it yourself to see?"

Yun Shang opened the small cloth bag in wonder and his eyes lit up. It turned out that inside the small cloth bag was an egg-sized sapphire. It was crystal clear, like a blue sea. The faint blue light covered Yun Shang's pretty cheeks and emitted a faint blue glow.

This sapphire was specially given to Zhang Zhun by the people of Changle County. Changle County was originally the hometown of sapphires. In the Han Dynasty, Changle's sapphires were royal tributes. By the Ming Dynasty, the sapphires here were even more famous. During the Wanli period, a special mining supervisor was stationed here to be responsible for mining sapphires. All the high-quality rubies opened were royal tributes.

Ordinary sapphires, the size of fingers, are extremely precious. Egg-sapphires are even more precious. If they were in a normal year, such a sapphire would definitely be sold for tens of thousands of taels of silver. Now in a chaotic world, sapphires are not that valuable, but it is still okay to sell 5,000 taels of silver at random. No wonder Yun Shang had to shiny eyes, this is a treasure worth at least a few thousand taels of silver!

Yun Shang's cheeks were slightly red, sweet and excited. She hurriedly put away the sapphire carefully and said repeatedly: "Thank you, Master."

Zhang Zhun said with a smile: "Since you and I are husband and wife, why are you doing politely?"

Yun Shang was both shy and sweet when he said this. He held the sapphire in his hand and felt happy. It seemed that a woman like her would be blessed to be able to follow Zhang Zhun. They were originally from brothels and their most desire was naturally to be good. However, it is not so easy for prostitutes to be good. Just the cost of redeem is a lot of money.

The person you like may not be able to give out such money. And the person you can give out money may not be what you like. Therefore, many prostitutes end up marrying businessmen as good people, because only businessmen have enough funds to redeem them. Even a talented woman as Li Qingzhao will eventually marrying businessmen, let alone other people.

Yun Shang felt very lucky, and followed Ji Yuqing to Zhang Zhun and naturally left the family. By chance, he had a husband and wife with Zhang Zhun. I think there would be no less title to be a concubine in the future. If he could give birth to a child and a half of his daughter, he could live like a normal person.

Zhang Zhun took out two more small cloth bags, put them in front of Yun Shang, and said casually: "This is for Yun Pei and Yun Yi, you can give them together."

Yun Shang hurriedly thanked him and took it. When he opened it, he saw that there were two egg-sized sapphires inside the two cloth bags. The sapphires given to Zhang Zhun in Changle County were three in total, just for the three sisters of the Yun family. As for the other women, there were naturally more appropriate gifts.

After dinner, Zhang Zhun moved in the courtyard. The place where he lives now was the side hall of the Heng Palace. Zhang Zhun was reluctant to burn such a gorgeous palace, so he stayed there for a few days. The courtyard had been cleaned up, and the bodies, blood, and fallen flowers had been removed. At first glance, there were only the blooming peach blossoms, as bright as clouds.

Footsteps came from outside, followed by Maoyan Department’s information: Shandong Governor Zhu Dadian led his army to hurriedly return from Fengyang Prefecture. Hong Chengchou, the governor of the five provinces, also came out of Shaanxi.
Chapter completed!
