Chapter 325 First Leaving the Capital.
"I know." Emperor Xianzong was silent for a moment: "We will report to you about the new imperial army later, you don't need to go to Jinshanwei, go directly to Shanghai County, and build a new garrison there, Just call it? Just call it Haiwei."
"Add guards at will, have you told the British government?" Wantong looked at Emperor Xianzong in surprise.
"I've said it." Emperor Xianzong shrugged childishly: "He agreed, and the old man also said that I should have taken care of the guards long ago, and told me that if I was going to retire when I was old, I would use osmanthus cake to block it." Shut up, don't let him keep saying he's old, old! What's old? I know that, the day before yesterday, he was waving a whip, and said he was going to whip his little boy who didn't beat him for two days and went to the house in three days Where's the grandson! He's even faster than me! Now I want to catch that little girl of the Fifth Princess, but I can't even catch her!"
The fifth princess is very nimble in running and jumping, not to mention the emperor, even the nanny who served her in Zhaode Palace couldn't catch her if she tried to catch her, but Wan Zhen'er, the mother, snorted, and she was well-behaved.
"There is also a navy." Wantong reminded him: "Longjiang Navy..."
"I have already given things to Zhang Shen. If he dares to cock his tail, you will deal with him. I asked you to supervise the army, not to let you be controlled by eunuchs." Emperor Xianzong sternly said this: "Japanese pirates!"
"I understand." It seems that the discussion with the emperor was good, and the emperor finally paid attention to sea power.
"Have you brought all the people who should be brought?" Emperor Xianzong asked Wantong: "Is there anything missing?
"Bring them all." Wan Tao said: "Don't worry, the emperor, at least three years, at most five years, I will definitely give you an explanation!"
"If you don't explain it, it's the next thing." Emperor Xianzong said with a sad face: "You will return safely? You don't know. Ever since you knew you were leaving, your sister has been making trouble all day long. I apologize now. , she still doesn't forgive me, do you really want me to kneel on the washboard?"
Wantong coughed lightly, reminding Emperor Xianzong not to talk about such things here!
"Take care all the way here, and remember to report your sister's safety." Emperor Xianzong whispered to him: "Otherwise, I'm afraid she will really run out of the palace to see you..."
Wantong also shivered, thinking of the occasion when he went to Zhaode Palace that day...
Wan Zhen'er had already lost a younger brother, and because of this incident, she valued her brothers even more. Why did she enter the palace back then?Just because the family can't support too many children, and she is a girl.
Someone persuaded Wangui, Wan Zhen'er's father, to give the baby girl to someone's family as a child bride, so that the family would have less money to eat.
But Wan Gui couldn't bear it, why did he give away his daughter when she was fine?
But the life at home was so bad that Wan Xi was just born at that time, and Wan Zhen'er was three years old and less than four years old, and she suffered for another two years. Being a court lady in the palace is at least better than being a child bride.
Wan Zhen'er, who was precocious at that time, still remembers the way her father hugged her reluctantly with tears streaming down his face.
Although she has suffered a lot in the palace for many years, Wan Zhen'er does not blame her father, she is already very satisfied that his father did not give her away as a child bride.
But when she was able to promote her own family, the second brother went out to perform a mission and died because of his low status. Wan Zhener didn't have much relationship with the second brother, but the good brother disappeared when he went out. The corpse, the old father also became seriously ill because of it, Wan Zhen'er was really hit hard.
So she was most afraid that she would not see her two younger brothers and cousins.
Now that the youngest brother is going out to work in a place she has never heard of, how can she not be worried?
When he saw Wantong, he babbled all over his head and face, and Wantong was so dizzy that he didn't dare not listen. At the end, the tears fell in pairs, and Wantong was even more numb.
"Sister, don't cry!" Wantong wanted to kneel down next to him: "I'm going to the emperor to see the situation in the south. There are 1 people following my brother!"
"What is 1 people?" Wan Zhen'er had her own thoughts: "The late emperor claimed to have an army of 20, and he wanted to crush the Mongol king's tent? What happened? Didn't there have been civil fortress changes. You just 1 people, where are you going? The ends of the earth?
"Eldest sister, it's just a small place, what danger can there be? My younger brother used to be a domineering one." Wantong had no choice but to put it another way.
"The emperor trusts you so much, and you still go out to act like a domineering?" Wan Zhen'er also changed her words: "I don't think about how to serve the country, so let you go out and bully the people?"
This hat is too big, but Wantong absolutely dare not admit it: "How can I do that? I just went to see the situation over there. You know, the Japanese pirates have gone too far recently, my lord." I have also been annoyed many times because of this. I went to have a look. If possible, let people clean up those Japanese pirates. You don’t know, elder sister. Now many people say that the north is dangerous. In fact, the south needs more attention. If it doesn’t work anymore Cracking down on Japanese pirates is going to breed thieves in the future!"
Wan Zhen'er couldn't understand this, so she didn't argue with him at all: "What do I know as a woman? I know that you are going to work in a corner that I have never heard of. ? Why don’t you serve as a commander at Jin Yiwei’s side? Why do you want to be a commander at some other guard?”
Wantong has one head and two big ones: "That's also a promotion.
"Ah bah!" Wan Zhen'er pointed at her nose for a good lesson!
Emperor Xianzong didn't say a word at the side, for fear that Wan Zhen'er would notice that he was the same, so he would know to play with the second son in his arms.
Thinking of this, Wantong's face turned black: "Of course!"
"Your sister is also worried about you." Emperor Xianzong whispered: "Once you leave, I have to go back to coax your sister.
Wantong thought for a while: "You can call my elder brother and younger brother's family into the palace to see the elder sister. Once she is happy, maybe...? So there will be no trouble?"
"That's right!" Emperor Xianzong suddenly realized: "This method is good!"
Zhen'er cared about him, so outside, Zhen'er gave him face very much and never disobeyed his wishes. Tranquility, submissiveness and gentleness are Wan Zhen'er's motto.
But when no one is around, Wan Zhener is really in charge of Emperor Xianzong. He is not allowed to mess around, and he is not allowed to go to the harem for a long time. Every month, Wan Zhener still has ten days of bedtime. The queen also has ten days, and the remaining ten days are shared equally among all the people in the harem, but it is strange to say that if the rain and dew are so uniform, either no one in the harem is pregnant, or the fetus is unstable, or the baby is born...all Princess!
Now the princesses have reached the eleventh princess.
Wantong looked at the time: "Your Majesty, I'm leaving, please take care."
"You too, if you have anything to tell me." Emperor Xianzong said: "I will protect your sister and children in the palace."
"Zhongming believes in brother-in-law!" Wantong clasped his fists, beat his horse and left Yujia.
Wantong used to call "Emperor" or "Emperor", but it was the first time he called "Brother-in-law" and Emperor Xianzong was very satisfied.
Unfortunately, he left after shouting.
He couldn't make him call himself brother-in-law a few more times.
But...Emperor Xianzong clicked his mouth, can you find Wanda.
It is impossible for Wanxi to call him brother-in-law. Wanda is said to be very honest, so it would be easier to deceive...
The large army moved forward slowly. In fact, there are more than [-] people, and there is no limit.
Especially when there are more than [-] of these people.
There were hundreds of servants who were taken away alone, because Wantong and Zhang Shen were the kind of masters who almost took away half of the servants in the family.
The ones from Wu Youwei’s place are not counted. There are also graduates from Tao Wen Academy. These people are young people who can read and write. Some of them are already scholars. Wu Youwei took them away to broaden their horizons , In the future, you can continue to take the examination of Juren and Jinshi.
A total of 28 people went with him this time, and the leader was Cui Tieniu from Cui Sijia, who happened to be this year.
It's already engaged, and it's set to be Li Chan'er, the granddaughter of Mrs. Li's family.
Some of the rest are engaged, some are not, but Unification is going to get married in three years, and they want to go out with the master to see the outside world.
There are also parents here who are slaves. Now it takes three generations to pass the imperial examination before becoming a good citizen. Following the master to take office is actually a way for the children to work. It is better to work under the master than to go out and make a living. many.So when Wu Youwei said, more than 20 juniors came to Tao Wen Academy.
These children go out for the first time, and everything is lively, but because Taowen Academy also has outings in spring and autumn outings, they have quite a lot of experience in going out, but they have never traveled far, and most of them are Mengjia Academy, which is associated with Taowen Academy Going there for a stroll is the academy of Wu Meng's natal family, in Tongzhou.
But with Wu Youwei and the servants Wu Youwei brought, it was still possible to take care of these twenty or so young people.
The car passed by the road, and the Jingzhong official road was well repaired, not so smooth, but it was already a very good road in ancient times.
Wu Youwei's cement formula has already been presented, and it is not known when the research will be successful.
They went out and walked quickly for a day. Because the weather was not bad and they had two meals, they arrived at the first station.
It may be because this is not yet out of Zhili, the post station is very large. Looking from a distance, the hundreds of meters high post city wall stands on the dusty roadside, showing the vicissitudes of the years.
Wu Youwei had traveled to Jiming Station scenic spots at public expense back then, and knew what ordinary post stations looked like. However, the post stations he saw in the Ming Dynasty were more prosperous than the scenic spots of Jiming Station he saw at that time.
The post station is divided into three parts: post station, station and shop.
The post station is a transportation organization for the government to receive guests and arrange government supplies.
A station is an organization that transmits important documents and military information, and is dedicated to military systems.
The shop is led by the local government, state, and county governments, and is responsible for the delivery of official documents and letters.
The shop is used to deliver official documents.All official documents between states and counties are sent by the courier.
In fact, it is the ancient postal system, but it only works for the imperial court, and the common people are not qualified to use post stations.
In the Ming Dynasty, except for the post station from Shenyang to Lushun, post stations were set up on other main roads.
This is different from the fact that post stations were only set up on two main lines in the Yuan Dynasty. In the Ming Dynasty, delivery stations were also set up. These post stations are independent from the post stations and specialize in the organization of cargo transportation. Their main task is to prepay the country's military supplies, tribute and reward.Managed by various health offices.The delivery office was first established in the first year of Hongwu.
Generally speaking, thieves would not dare to rob and steal important documents of a postman, lest they be subject to official suppression.However, the enemy at war will often send spies to intercept the intelligence on the way, so they often take various measures such as sending troops to protect or changing the transmission route.
And this is the post station for entering Beijing, which is the last stop, so this place is extremely prosperous.
Officials who come to Beijing will always stay here for a few days to rest; all kinds of flying reports to Beijing will change horses here without changing people;
So the station here is very big, as big as a small city!
When they got here all the way, there was already someone waiting to receive them, because the inspectors from Zhenwei camp had already arrived here to give orders.
Seeing the person in charge of the post station, Wantong just nodded at him, without getting off his horse, and directly escorted Wu Youwei's carriage into the post station.
The person in charge of the post station may have seen too many dignitaries, and he was not unhappy at all. Instead, he brought a lot of people to help, and he had to carefully arrange the eating and drinking of more than 1 people.
Followed all the way to the arranged house, the person in charge made Wantong smile at him with a word: "Is this your relatives? Please sit in the house, this is the backyard, and ordinary people cannot enter.
"What did you say?" Wu Youwei opened the curtain of the car and jumped out: "This is the backyard? The place where the female relatives stay?"
The person in charge of the post station was dumbfounded, why did he get out of the car, was it a man?
