The Only Favourite Ugly Husband Chapter 166: Leaving Daqi
lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the ugly husband!
Jiang Zhen had always done business with Dongyang before, but recently, this business has been broken.
Not only that, he also sent some people to patrol the waters near Hexing Mansion. Once he saw pirates, he would arrest them.
The weather is getting colder and colder, but the pirates are getting more and more rampant, because they suddenly discovered that the people of Daqi are really easy to grab. Most of them, even after seeing them, only know to beg for mercy. No power to fight back.
Until now, all pirates, whether they are Orientals or Daqi people, have been collectively called pirates by the people and the government.
The Japanese infestation is getting more and more serious, and many people along the coast have suffered, but the lives of the people along the coast of Hexing Mansion are the same as before.
Those Japanese pirates did not dare to make trouble in Hexing Mansion.
This is a good thing for the people of Hexing Mansion, but for some people, it makes them sleepless.
When winter came and spring came, and the peach tree gave birth to a tree of flower bones, a boat went south along the coastline of Daqi, and finally stopped at the pier of Yabian Village. After a while, he got off the boat. A middle-aged man with a cold face.
The person guarding Yabian Village is Jiang Ming. Seeing that person, Jiang Ming was a little surprised: "Master Hou?"
This person is the one who has been asking Jiang Zhen to help purchase grain and grass for these years, Qi Qingqi Hou Ye.
It was Luo Tianci who brought this man to Jiangnan and brought him to see Jiang Zhen. He didn't tell Jiang Zhen of his identity at first, but then he cooperated, but Jiang Zhen knew that he was still a clan.
Daqi has lasted for more than three hundred years. At the beginning, there were not many people in the royal family, but now there are tens of thousands of people. And the relationship between Qi Qing and the royal family is a bit far away, but it hasn’t Decline, this Qi Qing is a little capable, and now he has inherited the title, has become a lord, and at the same time is a general of Liaodong iron cavalry.
"I want to see Jiang Zhen." Qi Qing said.
Jiang Ming quickly brought this person to Jiang Zhen.
"Master Qi, what is going on looking for me?" Jiang Zhen looked at Qi Qing with a little puzzled.
"Jiang Zhen, in the previous winter, the Rong people acted frequently and burned one of our granaries. Our Liaodong iron cavalry was also recruited... Now that there is a shortage of grain and grass, I hope you can buy another batch of grain and grass and send it to Liaodong. "Qi Qing immediately said when he saw Jiang Zhen.
"It's just this? It's just that, don't Master Qi make a special trip, right?" Jiang Zhen looked at Qi Qing somewhat puzzled.
"Jiang Zhen, I came here personally because Liaodong can't get the money now. If you can, I hope you can advance it." Qi Qing said.
Jiang Zhen believed that Liaodong Iron Cavaliers couldn't make any money.
Don't look at Jiangnan is very prosperous. Except for the Japanese pirates along the coast and the people's life is more difficult, everyone else has a good life. Looking at the whole Daqi, it has always been not very peaceful.
For example, in the year he followed Zheng Yi to Beijing, a part of the route was hit by a drought. For example, a few years ago, there were floods, not to mention that the Rong people were still trying to move...
In addition to the fact that there are many officials, clans, and armies, the expenses in various aspects are very high, and the court often cannot make ends meet. It is said that sometimes the officials are still in arrears.
Although the imperial court has always attached great importance to the Liaodong iron cavalry and did not treat them badly, it is impossible to get enough food.
"You can be in arrears, but before next time, you must settle the silver." Jiang Zhen said.
"Yes." Qi Qing breathed a sigh of relief.
Because people in Jiangnan are more willing to grow mulberry or cotton than to grow grain, and then weave and sell for money, the price of grain in Jiangnan is not cheap, and it is not very easy to buy.
Of course, no matter how expensive it is, it is cheaper than the north.
It took Jiang Zhen some work to buy some of the grain and grass, and under Qi Qing's urging, he sent a fleet to send the grain and grass to the northwest.
The fleet left, but Qi Qing didn't leave, planning to stay and buy more food.
Jiang Zhen is not surprised by his approach. This is in ancient times. Whenever a natural disaster occurs, the people will not be able to harvest it. So almost everyone likes to store food. It is more normal for Liaodong iron cavalry to store food. .
On this day, after having dinner with Qi Qing, Jiang Zhen went back to his home in Yabian Village and slept.
As a result, in the middle of the night, he was suddenly awakened by the sound of horns and killing.
Someone sneaked an attack on Yabian Village, that's fine, the people who came to sneak attack were officers and soldiers.
If you are an ordinary businessman, and the local officials arbitrarily set yourself up for a crime, you may be put in jail, and your family property will be stolen.
But if you have too much power in your hands... With Cheng Yongzhen's lessons learned, Jiang Zhen knows it very well, and it will definitely arouse people's fear.
It's just that Jiang Zhen didn't expect the actions of the court to come so far.
There are people in the Zheng family. He has always asked Zheng Yi to help him watch a bit, but this time, Zheng Yi didn't send him any news at all!
Jiang Zhen led people out of his residence and saw Qi Qing who was protected by some soldiers. When Qi Qing saw him, he said loudly: "Jiang Zhen, you surrendered early, so I will report to Ming Sheng and give you a way out."
Because of the chaos around, Jiang Zhen did not hear Qi Qing's words very clearly, but he also heard a general idea, and even the word "Shengshang" clearly.
It's the Lord, not the Queen Mother.
It was also at this time, he finally understood why all this happened so suddenly, without warning.
When he followed Zheng Yi to Beijing seven or eight years ago, the queen mother was in the middle of the court to cover the sky, but now seven or eight years have passed, the little emperor at that time has grown up.
Since he has grown up, he will naturally start to squeeze. Although the Zheng family has shown good things to the little emperor in recent years, he certainly cannot win the trust of the little emperor.
Under such circumstances, Zheng Yi didn't get any news, but it was normal.
"Qi Qing, I have worked hard for the Liaodong Iron Cavalry for several years. That's what you did to me?" Jiang Zhen sneered.
This Qi Qing is a decent gentleman, he really didn't expect that this person would suddenly attack himself.
Qi Qing frowned slightly, his face not very pretty.
He first came to Jiangnan three years ago. When he saw the Jin Zhen Escort, he knew that the Jin Zhen Escort was not easy, but at that time, everything was still controllable, and he did not. doing what.
In the past three years, the Jin Zhen Escort has become stronger and stronger.
A little carelessness, another Cheng Yongzhen may come out!
Of course, he suddenly shot Jiang Zhen, and the reason was not the only one.
His allegiance is your Majesty, and most of the rights in the court are still in the hands of the Queen Mother... This Jiang Zhen, really speaking, is still from the Queen Mother's side!
Jinzhen Escort, absolutely cannot be kept, and this is the first time your Majesty has shown himself to the Queen Mother as a test.
"Jiang Zhen, you let your subordinates lay down their weapons and surrender. I will never kill innocent people indiscriminately." Qi Qing said again.
Jiang Zhen sneered.
He is not Cheng Yongzhen, and he will not easily hand his life into the hands of others.
"After surrendering, these people will only chop off our heads to lead the army! Everyone fight with me, maybe there is a way to survive!" Jiang Zhen said loudly.
If Jiang Zhen, like Cheng Yongzhen, had never had any other thoughts, he would definitely be driven to ruin now.
But he has never been the same as most people at this time.
He had already prepared a retreat, and never planned to be loyal to the emperor and patriotic to willingly sacrifice his life.
He doesn't kill indiscriminately and has no intention of conspiring, but he can choose to leave.
And Jiang Zhen's men are different from ordinary people in Daqi.
Nowadays, most of the people around Jiang Zhen are people from the Hongjiang Salt Field. These people don't trust the court in any way. What's more, Jiang Zhen has consciously done some brainwashing when training them these years.
That night, the officers and soldiers raided Yabian Village. After that, Jiang Zhen, like Cheng Yongzhen before, chose to leave.
He really... surrounded by countless officers and soldiers, he left with his men!
When boarding and leaving, Jiang Zhen was very silent.
He didn't want to cause any chaos, let alone confront the officers and soldiers, but this is the case in this era.
Qi Qing made a lot of preparations for the arrest of Jiang Zhen this time. He first used Jiang Zhen to send grain and grass to Liaodong as an excuse to distract Jiang Zhen from a lot of manpower, and then let Sun Qiyun lead his troops to sneak Jiang Zhen. Surrounded, not only that, but he also sent people to the mansion of Hexing Mansion to arrest Brother Zhao Jin.
In the beginning, before Cheng Yongzhen fled to Ryukyu and became king, his family was taken to prison. They did not think that they would not be able to catch the Zhao family.
But they haven't caught Zhao Jin yet.
Jiang Zhen has never kept anything from Brother Zhao Jin. For so many years, he has been cultivating Brother Zhao Jin. Brother Zhao Jin has long since been the same villager.
What's more, the intelligence work of the Jin Zhen Escort Bureau is very good.
Brother Zhao Jin didn't know that the imperial navy wanted to attack Yabian Village, but he found someone surreptitiously near his home, and soon realized that someone might be against him.
These people...there are still many! There are even people from the court!
After discovering this, Zhao Jin chose the same path as Jiang Zhen—to leave.
This was explained by Jiang Zhen long ago. At that time, he didn't know why Jiang Zhen said this, but now he understands it.
He didn't want to die, let alone hurt Jiang Zhen. In that case, he would naturally run away as soon as he encountered danger.
Those who were lying in ambush near Zhao’s house and wanted to do something against Zhao Jin were finally dealt with by the Jin Zhen Escort. Not only that, Zhao Jin took Zhao Liu’s couple, two children, and Jin Zhen Escort. Many of the people got on the boat and left Hexing Mansion.
The big ship left the river in Hexing Mansion and entered the ocean.
Many people in the Jinzhen Escort, especially the family of He Chunsheng and others, are actually very at a loss. They don’t understand why they were suddenly taken on the boat and left, but Zhao Jinge looked at the endless sea, but immediately got off. Orders were issued one by one.
