Chapter 130                                                                                                                             

Xin Ai waited in Qingcheng for a summer, but after three reprimanding, the Datong army did not react at all.

Xin Ai could only find a way to connect with Beijing, and secretly felt that she had fallen into Zhou Mengchen's plan. She felt that she was unlucky.

Within the past six months, Beijing has repeatedly fought over Zhang Jing's affairs, and in the end, Zhao Wenhua replaced Zhang Jing in charge of the war in the southeast. However, this incident did not end, but became even more intense. Because in order to establish his authority, Zhang Wenhua was determined to kill Zhang Jing.

Since Zhao Wenhua won, the court admitted Zhang Wenhua's impeachment, that is, Zhang Jing refused to save him when he saw him, and he watched his success or failure, and was a taboo to defeat him. He deceived the emperor and did not die. What is the reason for such a crime?

But everyone in the world knows that Zhang Jing was wronged. Many people run for Zhang Jing, hoping to save Zhang Jing's life. Xu Jie fanned the flames behind him, which brought a great impact to Yan Song. Xu Jie didn't care about Zhang Jing's life or death. If Zhang Jing's death would hurt Yan Song even more, Xu Jie didn't mind Zhang Jing's death.

Yan Song, no, it should be said that Yan Shifan. Yan Shifan reacted violently.

Perhaps many people don’t feel it. But Yan Shifan wants to feel it. Now Yan’s party is at its peak, but everyone knows that when the sun is in the middle of the sky, it is time for him to go downhill. Yan Song can accept this reality, but Yan Shifan cannot accept it. In his opinion, Zhang Jing has already left office. He is a person who can be killed or not. However, in the face of such public opinion, he feels offended and is determined to kill Zhang Jing.

The so-called life and death surrounding Zhang Jing is even more of a storm.

Zhou Mengchen was silent for more than half a year, and he turned a blind eye to Beijing and ignored him. Although he was sympathetic to Zhang Jing, he felt less important than replacing the plan. Moreover, he had no choice.

He is waiting for the autumn harvest and the east wind.

Time seems to be getting very slow while waiting anxiously.

It was finally easy to wait until the autumn harvest in August.

As Yang Jisheng expected, Jiajing had a rare bumper year in 34 years, and the weather was good. Of course, this was also the consequence of Zhou Mengchen's repair of water conservancy. Without a perfect water conservancy project, even if the weather was good, it would not be possible to maximize the effect.

There is also a large amount of corn planting.

Corn is drought-resistant than wheat. And when rainwater conditions are abundant, corn yields are a little higher than wheat.

After the autumn harvest, it took half a month to return the grains to the warehouse. Zhou Mengchen got a total of three million stones of grain in the warehouses of Datong and even the various guards. This batch of grain was enough for Zhou Mengchen to fight a war. But something that Zhou Mengchen never expected happened.

The autumn rain is coming.

Generally speaking, the autumn is bright and cool in the north. Autumn is the most suitable time for Hu Ma to move south. However, Zhou Mengchen never expected that it would start to rain after the autumn harvest, one rain after another. Zhou Mengchen looked at the cool rain outside the window, and there was a fire burning in his heart.

He is very clear about the road conditions.

I won’t talk about other roads. He also carried out some repairs from Datong to Yulin. Even if it rained, the impact was still relatively small. There was no problem with the army passing by. But the problem was that on the grassland, the road from Yulin to Qingcheng was a road formed by merchants.

In other words, there is no repair at all. Zhou Mengchen knew more about what would happen after a heavy rain. The lowest level was that it turned into mud. If a carriage had to pass, it would have to be pushed by people. Originally, a person could walk thirty miles a day, but under such road conditions, it would be a problem to walk ten miles a day.

The most terrifying thing is that the road was directly interrupted. After the heavy rain, the rain formed small lakes on the grassland. The accumulated water would take a long time to dissipate. The lakes on the surface were fine, but the most terrifying thing was that it looked like there was no change from the previous one. But the horizon had been soaked under the horizon.

The big car passed by and fell into it.

It's simply swampy.

Of course, Zhou Mengchen also knew that the direct situation of the latter two might not happen on a large scale. But the first situation alone was enough for Zhou Mengchen to worry. With such a road condition, he could advance quickly and attack Qingcheng's strategy, how to proceed.

Originally, the cavalry could reach the distance under Qingcheng City in just one day and one day at most, but it turned out that it would be ten days and half a month that could not get out.

It seemed that all plans were washed away by the rain.

Zhou Mengchen was furious and his mouth became swollen as he saw it with his naked eyes.

But what's the use of Zhou Mengchen's worry? Who can control God?

It was the end of September and early October that it only took a few days to clear up.

Zhou Mengchen had already become seriously ill from a minor illness.

He half-lying on the bed, letting the sun shine in. Xu Wei stood beside Zhou Mengchen and said, "The capital has been decided, and Zhang Jing asked for the first time on October 10th."

Zhou Mengchen looked pale, snorted coldly, and said, "Ge Lao Xu has done too much."

Xu Wei said: "Wang Shizhen also wrote to me, saying that this time, the people with ambition in the world would be reproached. The father and son of the strict party acted and destroyed the scholars and officials. It has reached the point where it is intolerable. The people in the world will be more willing to eliminate the strict party. He asked the Lord to help him."

Zhou Mengchen looked pale and said, "Who can change your mind? Your Majesty really doesn't know what happened to Jiangnan? It was not Zhao Wenhua who really made Zhang Jing die, but Xu Jie. Now, the court has no backer in the court and cannot do anything locally. Zhang Jing's backer was Xu Jie. Xu Jie gave up Zhang Jing, and Your Majesty judged that Zhang Jing could not accomplish anything. Useful ministers and useless ministers are different from Your Majesty. Of course, it may not be that Your Majesty misjudged the situation in Jiangnan, thinking that after this battle, the Japanese pirates would not dare to go ashore."

"Yan Song is useful to Your Majesty, but Zhang Jing is useless. Your Majesty naturally won't refute Yan Song's face for a useless person."

"As long as Xu Jie supports it, even if Zhang Jing dismisses his post, he will not die. Unfortunately, Xu Jie is unreliable."

Xu Wei said: "How do you reply to Wang Shizhen?"

Zhou Mengchen asked, "What are Wang Shizhen doing now?"

Xu Wei said: "He has now recovered and is in the Nanjing Ministry of Justice. But he is probably going to be transferred to the local area soon."

Wang Shizhen had been in the Ministry of Justice before, but after his father died, he went home to mourn. The problem was that Wang Shizhen offended Yan Song, and Yan Song could make Wang Shizhen feel better. However, Wang Shizhen was not an ordinary person. The Wang family in Taicang was also a first-class portal. He was an official for several generations and had a network of relationships, so even Yan Song could not do anything.

But Yan Song gently wrote, and he was originally in the Ministry of Justice in Beijing, so he went to the Ministry of Justice in Nanjing. But the power of the two cannot be compared with each other. Wang Shizhen was in the Ministry of Justice in Nanjing, even if he was eating with him. If it were normal, that would be fine.

Anyway, Wang Shizhen's literary reputation is so famous all over the world, and Jinling is a place of fireworks. Wang Shizhen's official position and he may not be able to live happily in Nanjing. But now is an extraordinary moment. When Wang Shizhen was mourning at home, he did not want to avenge his father for a day. This is the reason why he returned to the officialdom. Otherwise, he would be a rich and idle person. With the wealth of the Wang family, he needed a mere embellishment of a member of the Ministry of Justice of Nanjing? Moreover, the entire Jiangnan was covered with soldiers. Countless officials who had been at home were beaten to the front of the Japanese pirates. They all demanded to take office to fight against the Japanese pirates. There were many such officials, the most typical of which was Tang Shunzhi. He was on the front line of the anti-Japanese war at this moment, and even in the battle of Wang Jingjiang, it might not be without Tang Shunzhi's efforts.

How could Wang Shizhen sit down?

So, this time, Wang Shizhen was rescued and rushed around. Now he also wanted to transfer to the place and go to the front line of the anti-Japanese war.

Zhou Mengchen shook his head and said, "Wang Shizhen should be in Nanjing. The situation in Jiangnan, fighting against Japanese devils is just a matter of focus. The real fight is not on the battlefield, but behind the battlefield. Xu Jie cannot let Yan Song monopolize Jiangnan. After that, there will be a bloody storm. Just push him. Tell him about these and let him wait for the opportunity."

Zhou Mengchen said that he was waiting for the opportunity. Suddenly, he saw the sky rising from outside again. He felt uncomfortable and his face turned a little pale again.
