Chapter 139 Quietly Go
On April 28, the second year of Jingyan's reign, the drum was beaten twice, the long-closed water gate in Guangzhou City was reopened, and the royal ship that had been parked in the inner harbor for many days quietly left the dock. There were no people sending pots and pots to each other, and there were no gongs, drums, or firecrackers.
, not to mention the lively scene of hundreds of officials seeing each other off in the street. What accompanied them was only the monotonous sound of the waves and the repeated chants of sailors.
?b i?q?u g?e?.
?c?n?The imperial ship and the accompanying ships accordingly passed through the water gate to meet up with Yang Fan's group in the outer harbor, and headed southwest out of the Pearl River Estuary.
"Commander Fu, Your Highness is really incomprehensible. Not only did he keep all the money and food in the treasury this time, but he also ordered his subordinates to transfer all the taxes recently collected by the Shipping Department to the Guangdong Transportation Department." Pan Fang
Said with a wry smile.
"Yes, although the money is only more than 200,000 yuan, the entire handsome man's family did not have that much when we came, and His Highness gave it all to others with just one sentence. Fu Shuai needs to talk to His Highness, although it is more relaxed now
, but it can’t be such a trick!" Zhuang Shilin couldn't help complaining.
"Fushuai, when we came here we took the city of Guangzhou secretly, and now we leave quietly. Why do the Sa family feel that our Shuaifu troops are acting like thieves when they come and go?" Zhao Mengjin couldn't help but shake his head and sighed.
The day after Zhang Zhensun arrived in Guangzhou, the Handover between the Commander's Office and the Guangdong Production and Construction Department began the next day. His Highness immediately moved out of the Guangzhou government office and moved to another office regardless of his request to stay. And His Highness did not move all the household items in the government office as he had said before.
It was treated as trophies and moved away. Instead, the deficit was made up according to the account books of the treasury at the time of entering the city before the handover was carried out. When the various departments of the commander's office left, His Highness ordered that in addition to personal belongings and documents, the old things in the Yamen and some repurchase items should be taken away.
Keep all the items and hand them over to Guangdong so that they can start working without any additional arrangements after moving in.
As the Guangdong Army arrived one after another, all the Shuaifu troops withdrew from Guangzhou City, and all defense positions were handed over in order. All the items in the military camp were also transferred to them as usual, and then the entire army gathered at the original enemy Chima Detective in the south of the city.
The old military stronghold. His Highness arranged such an arrangement. Not only the Guangdong side was amazed, but even the officials in the commander's office were very puzzled. In the past, when the army moved to the defense, they searched everything they could. Those who could be taken away would never be left behind, and those who could not be taken away would also be
If you resell it to others and leave an empty camp for those who come after you, you will be doing them justice.
Just give the things if they are given, and what happened next made everyone in the commander's office even less angry. Even if it is not said that Guangzhou City was captured by the commander's army, just because of his status as the prince of the dynasty and the deputy commander-in-chief of the world's troops,
You have to give a good reception from far and wide, and you have to send a long journey across the city to say goodbye when you leave. Fortunately, Your Highness, after closing the city this evening, he ordered the whole army to board the ship, and set sail for Qiongzhou after the second watch, with strict orders not to disturb the place.
.
Zhang Zhensun and others also learned that His Highness was going to lead the army to leave when he said goodbye to the prince and asked to open the water gate. But in the middle of the night, there was no time to prepare, so he had to personally lead several Guangdong officials to the dock to see him off.
The two parties only parted with a few cups of tea and a few words of respect. The commander-in-chief and His Highness left quietly in this quiet night.
"You are so valuable to the world, if you can send it to the world!" Ying Jieyan said leisurely after listening to their complaints.
"What do you mean by caressing the commander?" Zhao Mengjin was a good fighter, but after all, he had little education, so he asked a little confused after hearing this.
"This sentence comes from "Laozi", which means that only those who sacrifice their lives for the sake of the world can God entrust the world's great weapons to him. Your Highness did this and now I think about it, it is indeed true. Since the two dynasties of the former emperors, the Tatars invaded the south, and the military and state spent
There are so many resources that the imperial court can only borrow from the people to relieve poverty, and the taxes and taxes borne by the people are the highest in history. Now almost the whole country is in ruins, and the government's expenses are not reduced, but the people's financial resources have been exhausted. Your Highness can sympathize with the people, relieve the poor, and implement benevolent policies.
He was also able to take the country's national affairs into consideration and benefit his colleagues from them, thinking that he was doing great good. Now he abandoned prosperity and sacrificed his life for the country to go to Qiongzhou, which can be said to be for the world." Deng Guangjian took the words and explained.
"Yes, His Highness is so young that he is known to be a scheming figure in the world, but we are scheming over some frivolous things, and we have already fallen behind!" Pan Fang sighed after hearing this.
"Well, the Sa family understands a little bit. We helped them today, but Zhang Zhishi wants to die in retribution. If we are in trouble in the future, how can he just sit idly by and ignore it. His Highness spent a small amount of money, but got a strong support. This
Calculated, it’s still a good deal.” Zhao Mengjin said with a grin.
"It is said that a gentleman loves money and acquires it in a wise way. Now it seems that a gentleman has to use his wealth in a wise way. Your Highness's thoughts are beyond the reach of others!" Zhuang Shilin said secretly. However, his perspective was different. His Highness's taking of the wealth was not harmed.
The people's power has not been lost to the merchants, but they have gained huge sums; and the money has not cost them a penny, but they have made their colleagues admire them, the people admired them, and they have made these sour and reckless people sincerely follow them. I can't help but sigh that ordinary people have money to buy houses.
Buying fields, raising darling wives and concubines, and buying rare and precious treasures; but when His Highness is rich, he buys people's hearts and minds, and gains the world. This means of financial management is really high.
"Your Highness is gifted with extraordinary talent, and his actions are often unexpected. If you don't think carefully, it is difficult to understand. In the future, you must not judge him with ordinary people's minds and make rash comments to avoid being misunderstood!" Ying Jieyan said with a straight face when he saw everyone relieved.
"Your Majesty, I understand!" Fushuai's words contained a warning, and it was a taboo in official circles to make irresponsible remarks about a superior officer. Why didn't everyone understand? They all responded in unison.
"Everyone, let's take a rest first. We still have things to do tomorrow!" Seeing that everyone no longer questioned, Ying Jieyan nodded. But in his heart, he secretly sighed that it was not easy for him to be the king master. Every time his apprentice did something, he would
I still have to wipe his butt from behind...
Early the next morning, when the city gate was reopened, people suddenly discovered that the soldiers guarding the gate had been replaced by the Guangdong Army. The Shuaifu Army stationed under the city had been emptied of people, and the imperial ship parked at the dock below the city had disappeared. The Shuaifu Army had evacuated.
The news spread quickly in the city, and people who couldn't believe it rushed to the dock to check, but the truth was right in front of them. Not a single warship in the once dense military port was missing.
"Your Highness is benevolent and righteous. In order not to disturb the soldiers and civilians in the city, he quietly left in the middle of the night!" An old man knelt down on the pier and cried, "It has been less than a month since the commander-in-chief's army entered the city, and he has not committed any crimes in autumn. He punishes rape and eliminates evil.
Returning the bright blue sky to Guangzhou allows the tillers to have fields and the poor to have houses. This is the blessing of our people. With Your Highness here, we can hope to restore the Song Dynasty!" All the people were moved by the emotion and knelt down one after another to the southwest to worship His Highness.
Later, the city's boat guild announced that in order to express its gratitude to His Highness for sensing the approaching hurricane and telling the ships to take shelter from the wind, thus saving everyone from shipwreck and loss of lives, they decided to donate money to build a shrine for His Highness in Donghao Inner Harbor as a memorial. For a time, the city was full of people.
The people enthusiastically donated money and materials and worked hard. In less than a month, a magnificent temple was built, enshrining a child with a wicked smile. It is said that it was painted by a painter who had met His Highness based on his memory.
