At the end of the day, the rain stops, the sky breaks, and the gloomy clouds recede.

On Guan Street, a group of ox carts headed north straight to Genshan Gate. The soldiers escorting them were laughing and laughing, as if it was the New Year.

"Boss, this newly appointed governor is really good, he keeps his word!"

"Don't tell me, I also thought that Mr. Zhang was so generous. Not only did he give us food, but he also bought us wine and meat!"

"Hurry up, I'm so hungry. I haven't seen meat or fish in almost a year."

"Tell me, this governor, in one word, hits the mark!"

Several soldiers talked happily and walked briskly.

Following the grain transport convoy were Zhang Yinli and Zhang Huangyan, both on horseback. Behind them was the convoy transporting wine and meat. These were all the money Zhang Yinli took from the prefect's Yamen to reward the army. What he thought was that anyway

They all want to appease Fang Ying, so let’s just do it in one step and not play any tricks, so that Fang Ying can do his best in the upcoming war.

As for military pay, the prefect's Yamen can't afford it, so he can only wait for the Supervisor and the Governor's Yamen to find a way.

The weather cleared up, and people began to take to the streets. Soon, the official street returned to its former bustling scene, and vendors and vendors went to work one after another. They didn't expect the scene of the coming war. Zhang Huangyan rode on the horse and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, no matter what,

The passion for life of the people is always indelible. These people who did not abandon the city and flee, presumably really love the city of Hangzhou, and the people's support can be used!

Soon, the convoy left the Genshan Gate and arrived at Fang Guoan's military camp.

The guards at the camp gate saw the long motorcade from a distance, and they rushed into the camp with great joy and went straight to the Chinese army tent.

"Report! The military rations have arrived outside the camp gate!"

In the tent, Fang Guoan put on his boots slowly and smiled bitterly at Fang Yuanke: "Let's go and see how many grains of rice we can get."

The two of them immediately went to the camp gate to receive the food.

From afar, Fang Guoan seemed to smell the aroma of wine, and thought it was because the soldiers were drunk, so he didn't pay attention until he saw the eye-catching big jar in the long motorcade, and was surprised.

Fang Yuanke was very excited and said to Fang Guoan: "It's food, a lot of food! And wine!!!"

When Zhang Huangyan, who was waiting, saw the general approaching, he stepped forward and said, "I'm the Governor Zhang Huangyan. This is Mr. Zhang Yinli, the prefect of Hangzhou. The two of us have been ordered to come and send food to reward the army."

"General Fang Guoan, please come to the camp soon. Thank you very much!" Fang Guoan was overjoyed and greeted the two of them humbly, without any pretense of being a general.

"Master Zhang, please!" Zhang Huangyan asked Zhang Yinli to go first.

After the carriages and horses entered the camp, Fang Yuanke personally arranged for the unloading of the carriages. Fang Guoan arranged for people to go to Hangzhou City to buy vegetables while entertaining Zhang Yinli and the two men to the Chinese military tent.

......

Hangzhou Magistrate’s Office.

The man who had been rescued by Zhang Yinli on the street woke up leisurely in the wing room in the backyard of the Yamen. In the room, the servant who was looking after him hurriedly handed over a bowl of hot soup and said with concern: "The doctor said that you have cold air in your body. This

This is ginger soup that has just been boiled. You can drink it to get rid of the cold."

"Where is this?" The man took the pottery bowl in confusion and asked.

"This is the Hangzhou government office. You fainted on the official street, and it was my master who happened to rescue you." The handyman explained.

"Thank you so much, sir. It seems that my life should not be cut off." The man drank the ginger soup in his hand, wiped his mouth, stood up and got off the couch.

"Hey, hey, what are you doing? My master said that he will deal with you when he comes back." Seeing that the man was about to leave, the handyman hurriedly stopped at the door and shouted loudly.

"Hahaha, you do your job sincerely, yes, but I have something important that I cannot delay. When I finish it, I will come back to apologize to your family." The man said with a smile on his sallow face.

After two sentences, I was out of breath and looked extremely weak.

The handyman looked around and felt that this person was very popular and did not look like an ordinary citizen, so he hesitated.

Seeing this, the man picked up his coir raincoat and bamboo hat and staggered out of the house. The servant did not stop him and followed him silently. The man noticed and did not say anything, so the two of them walked in tandem and finally arrived at the door of Prince Lu's Mansion.

The handyman was startled and secretly thought that he was indeed not an ordinary person. He hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Sir, the doctor said that your body needs good health and you should not be overworked. Please take care of yourself. I will leave first."

"Thank you very much. Tell your master that I will come to your door in person one day to thank you for saving your life." The man smiled kindly at the handyman, then turned around, looked at the plaque of Prince Lu's Mansion, and secretly sighed in his heart that we have finally arrived.

On this trip, he traveled by land and water for nearly a month.

When the guards of the palace saw someone coming, they stepped forward and asked, "Who are you and why are you here at the palace?"

"Please report to the Supervisory State that Lu Ruoteng came to vote for the former Ningbo Sea Patrol Road!"

"Wait!"

When the guards heard that he was an official, they didn't dare to be negligent and hurried to pass the news.

Soon, a young eunuch came to greet Lu Ruoteng and brought him to the main hall, where Zhu Changqi was waiting.

As for Lu Ruoteng, there was nothing about him in Zhu Changzi's memory. The First Emperor decided to meet him before talking about it. At this time, there were only two kinds of people who could come to him, one was loyal and dared to die for the restoration of the Ming Dynasty, and the other was

It is not difficult to distinguish between those who are opportunistic and want fame and fortune.

After a while, the young eunuch led a man in.

"Your Majesty, Lu Ruoteng, pays homage to the Supervisor!"

"Get up and sit up. With your clothes on, people would think you were a fisherman." Zhu Changzi sighed. Lu Ruoteng was so worn that at first glance he thought he was a beggar.

"Excuse me for being rude. I came from Tong'an County, Quanzhou Prefecture, and spent a month sleeping and sleeping in the open air. It's really..." Lu Ruoteng stood up tremblingly as he spoke. Li Bao, who was standing in the hall, saw this and said,

He hurriedly stepped forward to help him and helped him sit on a chair beside him.

After saying this, Zhu Changzi was speechless for a moment, and felt a rare touch in his heart. At this time, the Qing army was moving south, and everyone else was heading south to escape disaster. Lu Ruoteng actually went north alone, traveling thousands of miles to Hangzhou. This is really...

.Be brave and loyal.

Looking at the weak and loyal minister in front of him, the First Emperor was touched in his heart. He couldn't help but recall whether there was such a minister when the Qin Dynasty was destroyed. He pondered for a long time and turned into a long sigh.

"What's the point of being disrespectful? I wish your beloved could come to help me, which is what I ask for!" Zhu Changzi's tone was full of admiration.

"The words of supervising the country are serious. I am willing to sacrifice my body for the Ming Dynasty, and I will never live an ignoble life!" Lu Ruoteng said firmly with all his strength. Once you receive the favor of the country, you will shed your blood for it, so that you can live up to the teachings of the sages. Originally,

He wanted to go to Nanjing to serve the imperial court, but he heard the bad news of Nanjing's surrender not long after setting off. He was confused and didn't know where to go, so he wandered around. Until he heard that King Lu was supervising the country, he strengthened his new belief and went straight to Hangzhou.

Zhu Changzi saw that Lu Ruoteng was weak, so he didn't talk much. He ordered Li Bao to arrange for him to stay in the mansion and asked the royal medical officer to do his best to nurse him back.

Just when the matter was settled, a chamberlain came to report.
