Chapter 173 Yangzhou War Horse(1/3)

Yangzhou Prefecture Jiangdu City.

Not far from Yingtian.

Although it is impossible to drink tea now, it takes only three or two days to walk on the river.

The treasure ship is very big.

He followed the emperor's grandson to Yangzhou to supervise the transfer of thousands of troops from the Salt Transportation Office of the two Huaidu, but only used three boats.

That's it.

It is still the result obtained after pursuing riding comfort.

If it was during wartime, in order to pursue maximum carrying capacity, about one and a half treasure ship could hold these people.

Because I left late.

Three treasure ships walked on the water for three days and two nights.

Finally, on the evening of the third day, I arrived at the canal wharf outside Jiangdu City.

Because it is a treasure ship of the imperial court.

In the canal, there were already small boats that opened the road in advance, cleared the river channel, and left the best location for the dock.

No matter what the Qingliu in Shilin in the south of the Yangtze River.

People in the officialdom showed great attentiveness to Zhu Zhanji, the unreproachable third-generation heir of Emperor Yongle.

It is common for Shilin Qingliu to curse at the court.

The court wouldn't really cut off their heads.

But if someone in the system dares to yell like this blatantly, I am afraid that there is no need to go to Qiongzhou to fish.

Now southern Xinjiang is launching a large-scale military force.

The elderly are probably responsible for logistics affairs in the rear.

Young people are afraid they will go to the front line to be a member of the suicide squad.

All the yamen of all sizes in Jiangdu City sent people to the dock in advance to maintain order.

On the pier, colorful flags were waving and crowded, and everyone was looking forward to the arrival of the crown prince.

Most of the officials in the city, who were not in the city after leaving their official positions, arrived at the dock half an hour in advance according to the news of the treasure fleet.

Zhu Zhanji stood on the top deck of the cabin, holding the railings, and looking at the dock with heels shoulder to shoulder.

All Yangzhou officials showed eager eyes.

At the dock, officials have already started to set up a neat welcome team according to the official ranks.

Not far from the pier, on the plank road in the remote area, there were disharmonious noises and yelling.

Zhu Zhanji, who was about to get off the boat and go ashore, couldn't help but stop and look back.

I saw a group of Yangzhou scholars, surrounded by them, as if they were waiting for someone to arrive.

"Here you come!"

"Here's here!"

"Miss Flower is here!"

On the edge of the dock, the young Yangzhou scholars burst into a cheerful cry.

A pleasure boat, which was not as big as a treasure ship, slowly sailed from the north.

The pleasure boat is not big, but it is better because it is extremely gorgeous and exquisitely created.

Almost everything that can be used was moved to such a small pleasure boat.

On the front deck, there were several maids, with silk skirts and light green long skirts, with light white gauze on the outside, and embroidered shoes with the same color and pattern under their feet.

They were also looking at the pier, and from time to time they pointed at the scholars waiting on the pier, covering their mouths and laughing.

In the cabin of the pleasure boat, there was a sound of zither.

It is Bai Juyi's word.

It tells the old story of Emperor Minghuang of Tang, but it conveys the emotions of today's people.

At the dock, Yangzhou officials who had been waiting for a whole hour showed a slight anger.

The host, Yangzhou magistrate Deng Yongxin, looked angry.

"How did Jiangdu County arrange it?"

Deng Yongxin was the Ming Zun of the Imperial Palace. As soon as he spoke, Tian Xiu, the magistrate of Jiangdu, followed behind, hurriedly bowed his head to apologize.

"That's the pleasure boat of the little lady Hua..."

One sentence made Deng Yongxin stunned on the spot. After a breath, he slowly turned his head and looked at Ye Yingfa, who was wearing a purple robe, a gold belt, a white jade hanging on his head, and a five-beam crown beside him.

Ye Yingfa was the transferee of the Yanhei Department of the Lianghuai Department. His official rank was half a level higher than that of the fourth-rank Yangzhou prefect.

However, he was the prefect of Yangzhou. As the host, he stood in the middle today.

What Tian Xiu, the magistrate of Jiangdu, mentioned was that the little lady Hua was not someone else, but the most famous flower courtesan in Yangzhou today.

But everyone insiders know that this little lady Hua was trained by Ye Yingfa.

Ye Zhuanluo was not used for personal gain, but she has always made Hua Xiaoniang famous in Yangzhou.

The big man can't guess what he thinks.

But it does not prevent those in Yangzhou who love to seek flowers and willows from pursuing flower girls.

Now, because he knew that it was the news caused by the little lady Hua, Deng Yongxin couldn't say anything more. He just snorted heavily at Tian Xiu, the magistrate of Jiangdu, and waved his hand to signal the other party to go away.

Ye Yingfa, the transferee of the Huaihedu capital, smiled slightly: "Mr. Deng, the grandson is not a stubborn person. The grandson went to Zhongdu, went to Huizhou, and went to southern Xinjiang. He never performed great etiquette. Please keep your heart in your stomach."

After saying that, Ye Yingfa didn't care what Deng Yongxin thought.

He had already taken the man forward and rushed to the grandson who had already got off the treasure ship.

Deng Yongxin was still stunned, and he saw Ye Yingfa and the officials from the Salt Transportation Commission were already walking in front.

He quickly shouted softly, waved his hand, and took Yangzhou Prefecture to catch up, not giving Ye Yingfa the chance to meet the grandson alone.

"I, Ye Yingfa, the salt transport commander of both Huaidu, met the grandson."

"I am the governor of Yangzhou, Deng Yongxin, and see the grandson."

Deng Yongxin, who finally caught up, did not let Ye Ying go to the point of falling out of his mouth, agreed.

Zhu Zhanji smiled faintly and looked at the two people in front of him, feeling something interesting.

He asked the two of them to get up, and then he watched the dazzling array of birds and beasts in front of him.

"Wan Gao, the Yan Censor of the Two Huaihe Rivers, and Dai Wei, the commander of Yangzhou Guards, where are the two now?"

No one expected that the first thing the crown prince asked about when he got off the boat and went ashore was these two people.

Deng Yongxin looked hesitant and questioned for a moment, and glanced at Ye Ying beside him with a slight look.

Ye Yingfa cursed in his heart, then smiled and replied: "Return to the grandson, Censor Wan is now inspecting salt affairs in Huai'an. However, Censor Wan has already obtained your visit to Yangzhou. At most, you can come to Jiangdu tomorrow or the day after tomorrow to see you."

Zhu Zhanji said oh, thinking that the two Huai Yan Censors Wan Gao were also an interesting person.

He set out from Yingtian, and although he was the government commander, he set out the next day.

But the news of his coming to Yangzhou would always be transmitted from the Jinyiwei to Yangzhou in advance.

But unexpectedly, Wan Gao was still staying in Huai'an to inspect salt affairs.

Temporarily pressing down the curiosity in his heart, Zhu Zhanji asked again: "Where is the man in Daiwei?"

Ye Yingfa didn't speak anymore and looked back at Deng Yongxin slightly.

Dai Wei is the commander of Yangzhou Guard and is in the same group as him, Deng Yongxin.

Deng Yongxin replied with a smile on his face: "Return to the grandson, Commander Dai, he was still in the city yesterday. However, there was military information in the army last night, Commander Dai led his troops out of the city early in the morning."

Zhu Zhanji raised his eyebrows and asked: "The territory of Yangzhou is unstable?"

Deng Yongxin smiled bitterly, nodded and shook his head: "Yangzhou is peaceful, the people are diligent. It is Liujiazhuang, Baijuchang, and Fu'an. There are a few Japanese pirates causing trouble..."

As he said this, Deng Yongxin felt his face was dull.

He is the prefect of Yangzhou. If Japanese pirates cause trouble on the coast of Yangzhou, his political achievements will be very bad. Now he only hopes that Dai Wei, who has led his troops, can win a big victory and return to the city to repay his achievements with the Japanese pirates' heads.

Zhu Zhanji was slightly silent, although the Ming Dynasty is now in its prime and the world surrenders.

But there are always some people who want to be jumping clowns from time to time.

Not to mention the thieves on the small island as big as a palm, they never have a memory, like a hungry wild dog.

From time to time, when you see the opportunity, you will rush over and take a bite.

Dog shit can't change it.

Although the Ming Dynasty has been very strict in its defense, the Japanese pirates can break it into pieces, use their flexibility, look for loopholes everywhere, and hold on to the idea of ​​taking a bite and robbing the people of Ming Dynasty.
To be continued...
