Text Chapter 157 Finally home
Zhu Hongsan is now like an arrow, and he has no time to watch the beautiful scenery along the way. It's just that when I passed through Jinhua Mansion, I entered the city and led everyone to eat Jinhua ham, which felt very ordinary. Most of the rest of the time is on the road.
Along the way, only when supplies were insufficient, they entered the state capitals along the way to resupply. It took more than half a month to enter Jiangxi in this way.
Zhu Hongsan entered Yushan County, Guangxin Prefecture, Jiangxi Province on the fourth day of July, and although Zhu Hongsan was in a hurry to go home, he did not dare to go too fast. After all, Old Man Feng is almost seventy years old, and it will be troublesome to hang up on the road if he doesn't make a mistake.
Feng Ruoshu is the key to whether Zhu Hongsan can develop in Guangdong in the next three years, and if there is no governor of Liangguang and governor of Guangdong, it will take a lot of time for Zhu Hongsan to occupy Guangdong.
But now the time is not on Zhu Hongsan's side, there is still a year and a half before the Qing army will reach Guangdong, and he only has more than 6,000 horses now, which is not enough for the Qing army to stuff their teeth.
Zhu Hongsan is in a hurry to become a dog, but Feng Ruoshu Feng and Old Man Feng still have to play in the mountains and rivers. Get up late every night and go to bed early, go to see the places of interest when you pass by, and write a poem when you are happy. On the side, his apprentice Wang Yunchang and the two masters still wanted to hold stinky feet. I was really angry with Zhu Hongsan.
Zhu Hongsan can still bear these, and the most annoying Feng Ruoshu, the old guy, still wants Zhu Hongsan* to get him an aphrodisiac. Zhu Hongsan looked at the toad caught by his subordinates, and he wanted to buckle it to Old Man Feng's head.
The team slowly advanced like this, and Zhu Hongsan looked at Feng Ruoshu eating aphrodisiacs made of toads every day, and scolded in his heart: "Why don't you kill you old bastard." ”
The team finally arrived in Ganzhou, the southern gate of Jiangxi, on July 26.
Zhu Hongsan remembered that a big battle broke out in this place later, and took the opportunity of the team to stop supplies and go into the city to have a look. At this time, Feng Ruoshu came to Zhu Hongsan and said, "Lord, can you find a doctor after entering the city." ”
When Zhu Hongsan heard this, he was happy, you old guy finally had an accident, right?
But on the surface, you have to pretend to be concerned, and ask, "Sir, is he not feeling well?" Is it taking too much medicine? ”
Feng Ruoshu blushed and said: "Don't speculate, the lord doesn't speculate, it's not that the old man is in trouble, it may be that there is joy in the cheap." ”
Zhu Hongsan was stunned, he didn't expect this old guy to have a lot of firepower, he was almost seventy years old and he could still get a child, did he find someone to help?
Because Zhang Jiayu was dismissed, he was temporarily hired by Zhu Hongsan as the master, and he was responsible for the purchase of all the personnel. Feng Ruoshu talked to Zhu Hongsan many times because of this matter, and asked him to stay away from this Zhang Jiayu.
Zhu Hongsan thought to himself: "Old man Feng asked me to stay away from him, who will settle the account, let your apprentice come and you won't do it." So Zhu Hongsan didn't listen to Feng Ruoshu.
However, Zhang Jiayu is very grateful, he used to take care of these clans when he was the champion. As the ruling class, it is natural to be high.
But now Zhang Jiayu has made himself a stinky shit, and everyone in Nanjing is shouting and beating, and in this team, other scholars are hiding far away when they see him. Only Zhu Hongsan, the king of Chu, can not dislike Zhang Jiayu when he is unhappy, so Zhang Jiayu is very grateful to Zhu Hongsan.
Zhu Hongsan knows what will happen to Zhang Jiayu in the future, this person may be a loss of personal morality, but there is absolutely no problem in terms of righteousness, so he also entrusts Zhang Jiayu with important responsibilities.
Zhu Hongsan called Zhang Jiayu over and whispered: "The old guy is very powerful, he can still make children when he is seventy, it seems that the toad aphrodisiac is useful." In the future, when I make medicine, make double servings, and leave me a copy. ”
Zhang Jiayu said with a smile: "Don't worry, the prince knows." ”
Zhu Hongsan nodded, and arranged for someone to follow Zhang Jiayu to the city to buy and find a doctor for Miss Chen San. He led Zhu Hongyi and a few people around Ganzhou City to watch the terrain.
Ganzhou Mansion is located at the confluence of Zhangshui and Gongshui, and the terrain is mainly mountainous and hilly. There are four gates in Ganzhou City, but the scale of the city is not as large as that of Huguang and Nanzhili. It is equivalent to the size of a county seat.
The population of Ganzhou is less than 50,000, at this time Zhang Xianzhong just finished the scourge of Jiangxi, although Ganzhou did not suffer from the military disaster, but a large number of displaced people in the north went south, and there were 50,000 or 60,000 displaced people outside the city of Ganzhou.
Zhu Hongsan asked people to inquire, and came back to say that a large number of displaced people had gone south to Guangdong.
Zhu Hongsan nodded secretly, it seems that there will be no shortage of labor force in his own development. Zhu Hongsan asked people to spread the news, saying that Guangzhou and Dongguan were rich, and the local government also sent grain to them, so that they could go south to Dongguan in groups.
As for how many of these people can survive to Dongguan, this is not Zhu Hongsan's control. In this troubled world, Zhu Hongsan has seen too much life and death, and Zhu Hongsan has become more and more cold-blooded.
At this time, the winter in Jiangxi is still very cold, and now it is July, and the weather is starting to get colder. In winter, without food and clothing, it is easy to freeze to death. So when some displaced people heard this, many people began to leave Ganzhou and go south to Dongguan.
Zhu Hongsan stood on the side and watched the effect was good, and said to Zhu Hongyi: "Big brother, if you see a large group of homeless people along the way, you have to send people to spread the news. ”
Zhu Hongyi nodded, indicating that he understood.
Ganzhou City is very small, and Zhu Hongsan took an hour to turn around. After reading it, Zhu Hongsan found that if the Manchu Eight Banners were used to attack the city, there would be no 108,000 people who could not capture it. This place is bordered by water on three sides, and one side is backed by mountains, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
In addition, the climate of Jiangxi is different from that of the Northeast, and many people can be killed if they are not adapted to the soil and water in this place. It seems that some people in later generations said that after the Manchu Qing Dynasty occupied Beijing, there was no more organized dispatch of the Manchurian Eight Banners, and the entire Southern Ming Dynasty was fought by Manchurian generals with traitor armies, and this statement is very credible.
After reading Ganzhou, Zhu Hongsan felt that this kind of speech was very reasonable.
Zhu Hongsan, who didn't see much for a while, led the people back to the camp tent, just in time to see Feng Ruoshu coming out to send a doctor with a smile on his face.
Seeing Feng Ruoshu's smile, Zhu Hongsan knew that it must be good news. Zhu Hongsan stepped forward and arched his hand: "It seems that I want to congratulate my uncle, this is an old man." ”
Feng Ruoshu said with a smile: "The old man is here to thank the lord." ”
Looking at Feng Ruoshu's triumphant appearance, Zhu Hongsan scolded in his heart: "This old shameless one, this will be a death in the future generations." Can he still laugh? ”
Next, continue to hurry, this time Miss Chen San checked her pregnancy, and there were two pregnant women in total, plus Princess Zhu Yujiao. Zhu Hongsan really didn't dare to hurry up.
It's okay in Zhejiang, the roads are smooth, and some places can also be transported by water. But after passing through Ganzhou, it is all mountainous. One of the five ridges, Yuling, is at the intersection of Jiangxi and Guangdong. It is also the only way for Zhu Hongsan and his entourage.
It took nearly a month to travel from Ganzhou to Zhu Hongsan in Nanxiong Mansion in Guangdong. It departed from Ganzhou on July 27 and arrived at Nanxiong Mansion on August 20.
Looking at Zhu Hongsan, the city of Nanxiong Mansion, he really wanted to cry without tears, and he originally planned to go to Dongguan before August 15. I didn't expect to arrive in Nanxiong at the end of August, when will I get home?
The group came to the outside of Nanxiongfu City and saw a group of people standing outside the city, all of whom were officials. Zhu Hongsan wondered, did the local officials know that the letter came to greet him?
When they came closer, they realized that these guys were here to greet their top boss Feng Ruoshu.
Feng Ruoshu came out to greet these officials one by one, and what made Zhu Hongsan angry was that these stinky old nine all looked at themselves with their nostrils when they heard that they were the queen of Chu.
Even if they saw the unlucky guy Zhang Jiayu, these officials also arched their hands, but they saw Zhu Hongsan as if they didn't see it. Looking at the looks of these officials, this is still giving the governor of Liangguang Feng a face, or he will come up and beat his own heart.
Zhu Hongsan scolded in his heart: "This fucking is that the young master is old and has a small temper." I'm going to kill you stinky old men before I put it. ”
Zhu Hongsan saw this, Feng Ruoshu must not leave. Zhu Hongsan thought about it, he really couldn't rely on him, and there were a lot of things in his family.
Zhu Hongsan found an opportunity to say to Feng Ruoshu: "Uncle, you and your daughter will walk slowly behind, and I will take the team to go first." I'm really worried about it at home. ”
Feng Ruoshu also saw that Zhu Hongsan was in a hurry, and said, "Okay, the lord will go first." I'll write to you when I get to Zhaoqing Mansion. After speaking, he took out four letters of appointment, that is, the letters of appointment of the four prefects and handed them to Zhu Hongsan.
Zhu Hongsan did not enter the city after taking it, leaving a hundred people to escort the female dependents, and the others rushed to Dongguan with Zhu Hongsan.
Without moving forward with the old and weak, the team is naturally fast. Zhu Hongsan and his entourage passed through Shaozhou Mansion, Yingde, and Zengcheng, and finally returned to Dongguan on the fifth day of September.
Zhu Hongsan looked at Dongguan County from a distance and shouted, "Haha, Lao Tzu has finally gone home." ”
