Five days later, Hong Tao's boat slowly approached the Yaoliu Shazhou Wharf, which was still a desert island with only a dozen households on the official register, but the actual situation was completely different.

There are no less than 800 low-level officers of the New Army trained by Wang San alone, plus the personnel responsible for guarding the base, the New Army and the logistics personnel, and the resident population exceeds 1,000, which is completely a military base.

Wouldn't the gathering of so many people attract the attention of the court officials? It's hard to do, but it's done.

The officials who paid attention to this area died wave after wave, and the later officials slowly understood that this sandbar was unlucky, who saw who was sick, and who could see death if they saw too much, or honestly take the money offered by the maritime merchants to be blind.

Anyway, Tongzhou is also a small land, barren and remote, except for the Li & Fung Salt Factory, there is no oil and water, and the maritime merchants are willing to build warehouses on the desert island to store their goods, so let them go.

"What, Zhao Hao died!" Before Hong Tao stepped on the dock, Wang San rushed to the gangplank in a hurry and stuffed a secret letter.

When I opened it, Hong Tao was dumbfounded, it was just an expedient measure to let the stand-in enter the palace, and if Queen Pang was not transferred, she brought so many palace maids with her, and her family couldn't drill the dog hole.

That letter is even more of a game production, Zhao Hao forced himself to almost become the king of the dung bucket, and he left quietly in line with his character, and he must be disgusted and disgusted.

I didn't think that the blood vessels of the old Zhao family were not very strong, the eldest brother died of happiness because of the victory in Youzhou, and now the second uncle is hanging up because of his letter, I don't know what the eldest princess will think, royal nemesis!

"What is the reaction of the imperial court?" What the eldest princess thinks is a later story, Hong Tao immediately realized a problem, now the power of the court is in the hands of several prime ministers and queens, if they want to push the little prince to the throne, King Qi will be in danger.

"The secret security that just came in the morning, the imperial court doesn't seem to have made any movement except for sending post guards to the state capitals to deliver letters. The committee couldn't make up their minds, so the children waited for their fathers, and they were all meeting in the Yangtze River College. Wang San handed over another secret letter, which only had a simple sentence on it, which was of little value.

"Let's go, get on board!" Hong Tao felt that it was indeed time to hold a meeting, the reaction of the imperial court was too abnormal, and the original plans had to be summed up again, and strive to calculate all the possibilities. Then don't wait and see on Yao Liu Shazhou, the emperor is dead, go back to Yangzi Town directly.

“…… W- Is this what my husband did? In addition to going back to the meeting, Hong Tao had one more thing to do, to inform the eldest princess of the news of Zhao Hao's death. This woman is really difficult, her mother has just died, and she has not yet been relieved of her grief, and her second brother has died again, so no one can think about it.

"I swear to the sky for my husband, I really didn't do it, otherwise there will be five thunderstorms in the sky!" Now to talk to the eldest princess about the details is to bring about his own troubles, this is not a deception, no one can prove that Zhao Hao was angry with himself, it can only be regarded as a coincidence.

"Well...... I also hope that my husband will not embarrass my sister-in-law and nephew in terms of husband and wife. ”

The eldest princess really doesn't believe it, if you want to say that her husband is planning to escape all the time as soon as he arrives in Kaifeng City, and he hasn't even seen the second brother's people, it is not appropriate to say that he killed him.

But with a woman's intuition, she feels that the death of the second brother will never be incompatible with her husband. But at this time, it is useless to pursue these things, people cannot be resurrected after death, all she can do is think more about the living.

"The lady's words are a bit heavy, didn't we say before that no matter when you are a husband, you will never be an enemy of the royal family. The queen and the prince naturally want to protect it, so I will go and write to the court. Yes, yes, let's go to the book together, the lady's words are much stronger than those of the husband, and it is better for you to write it. ”

Hong Tao clicked his lips, knowing in his heart that it was difficult to take off this big black cauldron again. The eldest princess has a weak personality, but she is not stupid, on the contrary, she is quite smart.

If she decides on something, as long as there is no particularly conclusive evidence, she will not easily change her opinion, but she just doesn't say it or express it. But this kind of emotion is not good for the relationship between husband and wife, and she has to slowly find a way to untie her heart knot.

There were also 600 new troops who returned to Yangzi Town with the training ship, although they were all trained according to low-ranking officers, and it was too wasteful to use them directly to fight the war.

But at this time, there was no way to take care of it, and if the imperial court did not respond, the Promotion Society would not be able to transfer troops from Sichuan, but if the troops were not transferred, they were afraid that Yangzi Town and Yangtze River College would be damaged, so they could only use these officers to make up for it first.

At present, there are a total of 1,100 new troops in Yangzi Town, most of whom are officers, and the more than 10,000 new troops in Sichuan are facing a serious shortage of low-level officers.

An even more strange phenomenon appeared immediately, there were more than 500 forbidden troops in the northern camp of Yangzhou City, and Hong Tao was busy with promoting social meetings to lead the overall situation all day long, so naturally he could no longer train the forbidden army.

But he didn't forget this task, and since he promised it, he fulfilled it. On the surface, this is called credit, it is character, in essence, Hong Tao also hopes to sell the rear-loading smoothbore gun to the imperial court, otherwise who will use it when it is produced, and it will all have to be smashed in his hands.

The new army and the forbidden army may well become enemies on the battlefield, but in Yangzhou they actually became masters and apprentices. Not only did the local officials and garrisons not understand it, but even the trained forbidden troops could not understand it. It is estimated that many officers of the forbidden army can't sleep at night, for fear that they will accidentally become the ghosts of the instructors during the day.

Fortunately, the days of such fears were not long, and in early October, the news of the emperor's death finally spread with the official documents of the imperial court. People everywhere are not very sensitive to this news, but they feel that this year is not very auspicious, and the queen mother and the emperor are two big people in a row.

But in the eyes of officials everywhere, the death of the emperor is not just the death of a person, but marks the demise of an old pattern, and a new era is about to come.

Chunjiang plumbing duck prophet, officials are ducks, they can immediately feel the slightest change in the political wind, and immediately make corresponding countermeasures. This time the wind direction is not just a slight change, it is simply reversed.

The little prince is less than a year old, and whether there is an edict or not, he looks too thin compared to King Qi, who has a heavy army and occupies the Special Zone.

Compared with his background, King Qi is also a prince, and he is even corrected. Compared with his age, King Qi is in the prime of life, and his accession to the throne is pro-government, without the help of anyone. Compared with the merits, the King of Qi has conquered Liao and destroyed Xia, whether it depends on King Liang and the new army or not, anyway, no one can look around the Great Song Dynasty.

Now it's even more incredible, and there are political achievements. Under his leadership, the lands of Western Xia, which had just been conquered for a short time, were quickly restored. It is said that Yinzhou City was built tall and large, and the local people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and there were not a few people in the interior who traveled thousands of miles to flock to it.

Even though the state capitals at the border gates strictly forbade the Song people to go north, there was no special zone. Lanzhou City opened its gates all night to welcome the pioneers, providing them with temporary shelter and a hot meal, and only when they had enough 200 people would organize local militia escorts to settle down in various parts of Yinzhou.

Even in Kaifeng City, there have been many fewer homeless people in the past few months, and even many street gangsters have come together to raise some money, dragging their families to the north, trying to fight for wealth.

I want to ask why everyone is so keen to go to the desolate Northland to suffer, not because of the influence of the Ganliang Road. At the beginning, ten people who dared to take risks made a fortune, and the last time they were homesteaders with a low of 100 acres, and there were not a few of them who took the money to return to the inland cities to show off, and of course there were also those who came to Kaifeng City.

The deeds of making a fortune have always been liked by people, and after some oil and vinegar, Ganliang Road has become a myth, but anyone who is not very happy wants to try it.

It's a pity that time is running out, after this village and then want to rely on a passion to start from scratch is not so easy, how do you look at the current Yinzhou like the Ganliang Road in previous years, with the previous example, the people who muster up the courage to fight must be multiplied several times.

But the most important factor is not the excellence of King Qi, but the King of Liang standing behind him. This military and political achievements are top-notch, and the people's livelihood and economy are excellent, and the King of Qi can only bow down to him compared to him.

In fact, many officials understood in their hearts that many of the halos on King Qi were deliberately given by King Liang. Speaking of which, King Liang is indeed the teacher of King Qi, and the title of the crown prince is still on his head.
