Chapter 742: Entering the city

This thousand households are not stupid.

He felt a strange atmosphere.

The mismatch between civil and military affairs is the most miserable for the subordinates.

There are inevitably various conflicts between the governors, governors and general officers in various places.

Of course, often, the governor and the governor are asking for trouble for the general officer. Who made you a warrior?

The lower-headed man was not stupid, of course he stood by the governor and the governor without hesitation, because he was a civil servant, had connections, and someone in the court could speak well, which was a great master and controlled the life and death of the warriors.

You should know that in the history of the Ming Dynasty, there was a precedent for civil officials to directly kill the general officer.

But the thousand households soon realized that the words of the Left Governor seemed to indicate something, and they always felt that the storm was about to come!

According to his years of experience in fishing, once a storm is coming, there is no room for maneuver. If you want to fish in troubled waters or please both ends, this is just a search for death.

Although the general was only a subordinate in front of the commander, he still stood on the side of the general without hesitation.

In fact, there is not much analysis, just by feeling.

The words of Qianhu seemed to satisfy Zhang Jingyi. He looked at Qianhu, and his expression seemed to be much easier-minded, and he smiled and said, "What's your name?"

Qianhu hurriedly said respectfully: "I'm humble to Chen Ke."

Zhang Jing nodded: "Chen Ke, you are the guide and enter the city at night."

Chen Ke didn't dare to be negligent, so he hurriedly said: "Yes."

The vast crowd set off immediately, and Chen Ke found a lot of troops and led a team of cavalry to go first.

When Zhang Jing looked at Chen Ke's back, he felt thoughtful.

In fact, as soon as Zhang Jing logged in, there were already hundreds of local households in the 100 households who received a letter from Fei Ge and were secretly waiting here.

These hundred households are not at all conspicuous, and they are not wearing fish clothes. They are just wearing cloth clothes. They are also ordinary in appearance and are tied in the crowd, which is inconspicuous at all.

As soon as he saw the giant ship arrive, he kept waiting for his orders on the shore silently, and did not immediately go to pay homage to Zhang Jingyi, but went to see Liu Wenxiu first. After that, Liu Wenxiu led him to Zhang Jingyi.

Seeing Zhang Jing watching Chen Ke leave with certainty, the hundred households bowed and said, "I have seen the governor."

Zhang Jingyi looked at him at this time, smiled and said, "How about this person Chen Ke?"

The hundred households looked at Chen Ke's back and said directly: "He is an honest man. He will do whatever he asks him to do on weekdays. In Xijindu, he is quite popular and does not do anything to plunder the people on weekdays. However, if someone gives him gifts, he will be happy to accept it. It's just because of mediocrity that no one pays attention to him in Zhenjiang, and he has little entanglement with the people in Zhenjiang. By the way, his father had fought against General Qi at the time. Because of his military merits, he inherited the Thousand House officials and therefore joined the army for generations."

Zhang Jing nodded, as if he was moved: "There are the most people in the world who are like this. They don't have any bad thoughts, but they are definitely not a good person. Although they are mediocre and mediocre, they can be called a good thing."

After saying that, Zhang Jing sighed. Actually, he didn't want to lie down? He found out...

Now I have carried too many people's expectations and wealth and lives. I want to lie down and cannot get it, but I am a little envious of people like Chen Ke.

Immediately, Zhang Jingyi put away the melancholy in his heart and smiled again, "You have figured out the details?"

"The situation in Zhenjiang has been cleared up, and the commander's headquarters has been kept abreast of him. He has also figured out who is his confidant and who is alienated from him. In addition... his hometown has also been written and asked his comrades there to arrange manpower, just to prevent the attack on the snake, and he dare not be too blatant."

After saying that, he took out a book from his arms.

Zhang Jingyi waved his hand and said, "I won't look at it anymore. You can hold it away. Enter the city and listen to my order."

Zhang Jingyi immediately turned his eyes and said to Liu Wenxiu: "You should also take the lead by riding a horse, be quick and secretly control the situation."

Liu Wenxiu clasped her fists: "Abide by the order of his mentor."

…………

At this time, the moon was hanging high, the stars were everywhere, and it was a little cold at night, so House was invited to go there.

As before, it was just like the ones that were airtight, and quietly reached the backyard where I was walking.

These days, he stayed in Zhenjiang and was wandering every day. In fact, he was not wandering all day long as Wang Wenjun said, but was observing the entire Ming Dynasty through Zhenjiang.

And House was still shocked by the place.

You know, in fact, as early as decades ago, a missionary arrived in the inland of the Ming Dynasty and recorded the situation of the Ming Dynasty.

At first, House did not believe that this Eastern dynasty was as recorded by missionaries.

But now he witnessed it with his own eyes, he finally believed it.

As recorded by the missionary: "The men and women in this country have good physiques, well-proportioned and beautiful people, slightly taller; most of them have wide faces, small eyes, flat noses, and sparse beards, but some have big eyes and beards, with very uniform faces."

"Their first is extremely clean, not only in their houses, but also in the streets. They usually have three or four necessary or public rest areas on the streets, which are well arranged, so that those who are busy with official duties will not stain the streets and get supplies from there, similar ways to access all roads across the country. Some cities have navigable streets, like Venice, Italy."

"The avenues of the country are the best and best known to be built. They are very flat, even on the hills, and are opened by labor and hoes, maintained by bricks and stones... There are many bridges, especially on wide and deep rivers. In Fuzhou City, opposite the house of the King's Grand Tax Museum, there is a tower, which, according to the affirmation of those who see it, surpasses any building in Rome. He erected on 40 pillars, each of which is a square of stone, big and high."

These records were also seen by House himself and were shocked by it.

Compared with Europe in this era, the Ming Dynasty, especially the capital and Jiangnan, was almost a paradise on earth, without being dirty, people like cleanliness, generally prosperous, people are polite, and there are many construction projects for building facilities, especially people's livelihood.

Even in an inconspicuous Zhenjiang, its population size and a wide range of shops and economic prosperity have surpassed almost all cities in Europe.

House could not imagine what it would be like if he went to Beijing, Nanjing, or other places.

Of course, he keenly realized that it was precisely because of this relatively comfortable environment, coupled with the long-term peace, that although the Eastern dynasty had a complete set of military structures, in fact... it was quite a bit of a sense of civility and martial arts, and they were not good at dealing with enemies from the sea.

Although House enjoys the comfortable life here, his heart may not be admiration, but a kind of jealousy, or even a kind of vigorous ambition.

He thought he was right, and there were indeed countless wealth here. As long as the peace negotiations were successful this time, he received a lot of compensation, and obtained a large number of trade ports, and in the navy, he ensured that he could be overwhelmed by the Eastern dynasty, then this rich land would become the lambs they were slaughtered and could be taken.

With this thought, House's appearance was silent, and he was even a little impatient.

This time I saw Wang Wenjun again, and Wang Wenjun greeted him.

House even learned from the Ming Dynasty and hugged a fist.

However, this is just a gesture. House is a European. Europe has experienced hundreds of years of melee. The war has never stopped. For those who live in war every day, they never believe in the so-called "ritual". The so-called "ritual" is just a means of seeking profit.

House was the first to get straight to the point and said through the news: "Half a month has passed since the peace agreement. Isn't it still a result? If this continues, I have to leave and I can't delay it."

Wang Wenjun hurriedly said, "I will be surprised if I see you soon. If nothing unexpected happens, there will be a result within ten days."

After these words came out, House was already ecstatic, but he still had to look reluctant on his face, and said impatiently: "Have you have to wait ten days? My time is limited, and we have made the biggest concessions, if there is no result..."

Wang Wenjun took a deep breath and remained kind and said, "I am the commander of the army. I will never deceive you. Good things are too hard, but... If you really have a chance, I am afraid that you will go to the capital. After arriving in the capital, I will pay my respects to my emperor. Do you know what to say?"

House said: "Nature knows."

Wang Wenjun seemed to think that this person didn't understand, so he said patiently: "You must be humble in your attitude, and you must be intimidated and trepidated when speaking. Your Majesty and the court want a step. If the steps are given enough, then naturally everything will be convenient. But if people cannot get out of Taiwan, then I can't do anything."

House wanted to laugh in his heart. The extremely high minister of the Ming Dynasty in front of him is now conspiring with him to deceive his emperor!

House said: "What else should I pay attention to?"

Wang Wenjun pondered for a moment and said, "You must be humble when you go to the capital, but you cannot just do this. Instead, you need to show your abilities and let Your Majesty know how strong you are. If you can reveal it again, now some of you have planned to cut off the canal directly and... occupy the position of the Yellow River, and plan to dig the river water... Then it will be twice the result with half the effort."

House listened seriously and wrote down one by one in his heart, and said sincerely: "Your proposal is very helpful to me."

Wang Wenjun said lightly: "I did this not for you, nor for turning war into jade, the two countries quit and be harmonious with each other."
