After dinner, Xu Jin returned to the bedroom alone, and suddenly felt empty, very uncomfortable, not lacking furniture and sundries, but missing Xie Xiaowan, a gentle and considerate lady, and Yue'er, a clever and well-behaved girl.

Xu Jin is usually accustomed to the service of his wife and beautiful maid at home, and he stretches out his hand to open his mouth for food, but now he doesn't know what to do for a while.

It is said that Xu Jin has been leaving from Leadshan County with the army for more than ten days, and he still misses Xiaowan in his heart, this is the second time that the two have been separated for so long, and the last time was last year's hospital exam.

Xu Jin sat on the edge of the bed for a while, and then took a set of clean clothes from the baggage and prepared to take a bath, saying that the clothes during this time were all cleaned and taken care of by Erniu, after all, the man was not as careful as the woman, and the clothes were not folded at all, just rolled up and packed like that, making them wrinkled.

Xu Jin couldn't help but be speechless, it seems that Xiao Wan and Yue'er have to be taken over to Nanchang for a while, but now they must be unwilling, King Ning has not been cleaned up by Wang Shouren, and Nanchang is still a dangerous place after all. Although according to the historical trajectory, King Ning will soon be captured by Wang Shouren in Poyang Lake, but God knows if there will be any changes, so it is better to be safe.

Xu Jin was about to find someone to prepare bath water, when there was a knock on the door of the room, and a maidservant's voice asked through the door: "Does the master need to take a bath?" Hot water is ready. ”

Xu Jin was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Send the water to the room!" ”

Soon, two mothers-in-law came in with a bath tub, filled it with hot water, and then withdrew, leaving only an eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl.

The big girl had a medium appearance, and after closing the door, she tested the water temperature, and said with a cramped expression: "Master, you can take a bath!" Then he began to undress himself timidly, revealing his snow-white shoulders, which were only dressed in obscene clothes.

Xu Jin couldn't help but sweat, and hurriedly said: "You don't need to serve here, I'll wash it myself." ”

Although Xu Jin is now accustomed to being served, he is even less accustomed to being naked in front of strangers.

The maid blushed and fastened the two buttons that had been unfastened, and then exited the room and closed the door, relieved and a little lost, it seems that she does not look in the eyes of the master.

Xu Jin didn't know the contradictory thoughts of this maid, and even if he knew, he didn't bother to pay attention to it, he was not Jia Baoyu, and he felt that women were made of water and needed to be cared for in every detail.

After taking a bath, Xu Jin went to the study to read at night, and by the way, he took time to finish the last episode of "Shooting the Condor". Xu Jin has already made a plan, and he will stay in Nanchang before the township examination in August, while studying, and at the same time working as a copyist to earn extra money to help supplement the family.

When Xu Jin put down his pen, it was close to the third watch, and looking at the ending of "Shooting the Condor" that still exuded the fragrance of ink, Xu Jin couldn't help but think of the little slave Zhu Houxi. This kid complained that he couldn't finish the ending before leaving, and he cried even more when he said goodbye, so that he and Xiaowan must take time to see him, and he casually agreed at the time, but more than half a year has passed in the blink of an eye, and depending on the situation, it is impossible to have time to see him before August.

In addition, if you pass the township examination, you have to participate in the spring competition (examination) held in the capital in early February next year, due to the long distance, the people from all over the country will leave for the capital to prepare for the exam soon after the township examination, and this year will also have to be spent in the capital.

According to the trend of history, not long after King Ning's rebellion, Zhu Houzhao would definitely drive the royal expedition in person, and traveled from the capital to Nanjing, and then escorted the prisoners offered by Wang Shouren back to Beijing.

In other words, there is only one or two years left before the little slave Zhu Houxi ascends the throne, and this kid doesn't know that he will soon have shit luck. So Xu Jin hesitated to take time to go to Huguang'an and Luzhou after the township test, so as to heat up the relationship, although this is a bit utilitarian, but people are so realistic, no matter how long the iron buddy has not been in touch, the affection will fade.

……

In the fourteenth year of Zhengde in the Ming Dynasty, on February 26, King Ning led the water division back to rescue Nanchang, and encountered Wang Shouren's counterinsurgency army in the Huangjiadu area of the lower reaches of the Gan River, and a fierce battle occurred between the two sides.

Wang Shouren took Wu Wending, the prefect of Ji'an, as the main general, faced the Ning Wang Shui Division head-on, and successively supported Shi Sheen, the prefect of Ganzhou, Xing Xun, the prefect of Ganzhou, attacked behind the rebels, and Xu Lian, the prefect of Yuanzhou, and Dai Deru, the prefect of Linjiang, were the left and right flanks to flank the rebels from the north and south.

The rebel army led by King Ning came back from a long distance, and the Nanchang nest was occupied, so the soldiers were tired and unstable, and they could not resist the attack of the counterinsurgency army on all sides, and they were defeated after a bloody battle for a long time, and tens of thousands of rebels were killed and drowned.

The next day, King Ning reorganized the naval army and fought again, but was defeated again, led the remnants to flee to Baziyuan, and set up a water village defense, because he was afraid of being scattered, and his soldiers fled by boat, so he ordered people to connect all the warships with iron chains.

Now Ning Wang Ke made a fatal mistake, thinking that Cao Cao did the same in Chibi back then, but as a result, Zhuge Liang's three fires, lupine scarves, were wiped out with a snap of his fingers.

Sure enough, Wang Shouren observed the chain lock ship formation of King Ning's rebels from a distance, and immediately smiled, and immediately decided to follow Zhou Gongjin's example of burning Chibi that year.

Late at night on the first day of the first month of March in the Ming Dynasty, the stars and the moon were not shining, Wang Shouren quietly sent nearly a hundred small boats loaded with firewood and oil, and rushed to the rebels' water village with the wind after burning, and in an instant, the rebels' warships were ignited, but all the ships were locked by iron chains and could not run away at all, and the result was heavy losses, and countless soldiers were burned and drowned.

In this battle, Zhu Chenhao was completely defeated, and he no longer had any power to resist, and fled into Poyang Lake with a few remnants.

……

The night was grey, and the sky above Poyang Lake was red with fire, and the surface of the lake was littered with corpses and rotten ship wood chips, and blood stained large swaths of the lake red.

A two-masted ship was struggling and sailing on the lake, and there were several smaller ships around it, and Zhu Chenhao, the king of Ning, and his sons, concubines, and ministers were all on these boats.

Plop Plop Plop ......

From time to time, someone jumped from the boat into the lake, it was King Ning's concubines who were throwing themselves into the water to die, and the sad cries came and went.

Rebellion is a major crime of raiding the family and exterminating the clan, and now that the army is like a mountain, it is better to commit suicide to preserve his innocence than to be caught and humiliated in the end. Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao was already dead at the moment, and he had no illusions, so he didn't stop the concubines from committing suicide, nor did he send someone to save the drowning person, and even felt a little comfort in his frustration, as a chaste woman should be!
