Chapter 28 This woman should only be found in heaven

Let’s talk about Wang Pu.

Because there were no masts and sails, Wang Pu's large ship had to march towards Jinshanwei under the guidance of two naval warships.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, before arriving at Jinshanwei, Wang Pu let the more than 200 surviving servants shaved off the "money rat tail" behind their heads. More than a dozen North Korean sailors who were lucky enough to be blown away by the tornado were also ordered to be executed secretly and their bodies were sunk into the sea.

This is not a fault for Wang Pu's ruthlessness.

As far as Wang Pu knows, the censors in the Ming Dynasty were all very perverted. These guys who claimed to be righteous are actually a group of idle people who were full and had nothing to do. They were originally just trivial matters, but if these guys rush on the left and the right, they would become a huge disaster in a blink of an eye.

Wang Pu didn't want to be grabbed by these idle people by his braids.

Wang Pu and more than 200 subordinates stayed in Jinshanwei for one night. That night, while it was dark, Wang Pu took Xiaoqi and other confidants to buy a house near Jinshan, buried a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry, leaving only 500,000 taels of silver, as well as forty boxes of dry goods and a small amount of ginseng jewelry to bring to the army.

After hiding, Wang Pu also hired an honest farmer to take care of the house.

Wang Pu must be more careful. If all these gold, silver and jewelry were taken to the capital, who would know if Emperor Chongzhen would have a slander?

The next morning, Songjiang Prefect Qian Heng brought all the officials of all the prefectures and well-known gentry to greet him. This was a remarkable thing at that time.

You should know that the status of military generals in the Ming Dynasty was very low. The so-called general officer was just a wolf dog that could bite people under the local governor. In the eyes of the gentry and the people, the general officer who commanded tens of thousands of troops was not as good as a seventh-rank magistrate. Qian Heng was a fourth-rank court official. When he came to welcome Wang Pu, the small general, it seemed to be a bit self-deprecating, but it was not.

Qian Heng is also an old man in the officialdom. How could he not see that Wang Pu’s future is promising?

Although Wang Pu is still a small general now, it is a foregone conclusion that he has captured the slave chief Huang Taiji alive and has won the title. When will Qian Heng not be flattered at this time?

Qian Heng held Wang Pu's hands tightly, his face was already smiling, and he kept saying, "Oh, I don't expect General Wang to be so young. This is really a heroic young man. The younger generation is terrifying, and the younger generation is terrifying."

"Where are there." Wang Pu responded with a slight smile, "Sir, I guess he is Songjiang's parents, Lord Qian, right?"

"It's the lower official." Qian Heng was shameless enough to claim to be the lower official in front of Wang Pu, a general of unqualified rank. After that, he took Wang Pu's hand affectionately, turned around and pointed at Qian Qianyi and introduced, "General Wang, this is Qian Qianyi, the leader of the clan of the lower official, the famous talented man in Jiangzuo."

"Oh, it turns out that Mr. Mu is in front of him, and he is disrespectful."

Wang Pu couldn't help but feel respect. Wang Pu lacked favor for the Donglin Party and Fushe who claimed to be a gentleman, but he admired Qian Qianyi's poems and articles. However, this person was truly famous because he married a famous and beautiful wife, Liu Rushi, the leader of the Eight Beauties of Qinhuai.

I just don’t know if Liu Rushi has already married Qian Qianyi at this time?

Wang Pu's respect made Qian Qianyi very helpful. Liu Xu, who was holding his chin, responded happily: "Today I saw a young hero like General Wang, even I want to join the army and fight on the battlefield, haha."

Everyone laughed.

Qian Heng pointed at Chen Zilong again, and Xia Yunyi introduced: "These two are our famous talents in Huating, Chen Zilong and Xia Yunyi."

Seeing that Wang Pu was gentle and talked freely, he did not have the vulgarity of an ordinary martial artist at all, he already had seven points of favor in his heart. Moreover, they were very impressed by Wang Pu's feat of leading his army alone into Liaodong. At that moment, the two stepped forward and clasped their fists and said, "I have met the General."

Wang Pu also clasped his fists and smiled: "Good to meet, lucky to meet."

Qian Heng said again: "The rest of the officials and famous officials will not introduce them one by one. General Wang and his soldiers have been wandering on the sea for more than half a month and must have suffered a lot. Now that he has arrived in Songjiang, he has returned home. The officials have already set up a banquet in the government office to welcome General Wang and all the soldiers. Please!"

Wang Puyesu said, "Please."

Wang Pu and his party were nearly 300 people escorted the prisoners, and the wealth and goods came straight to Huating, Songjiang Prefecture City, accompanied by Qian Heng and others.

Not to mention Qian Heng, he was attentive to treat Wang Pu in Huating, and then Qian Heng's Tang News was sent to Nanjing. Nanjing official Xunqi also learned the news that Wang Pu had arrived in Songjiang. Soon, the news spread throughout Nanjing. That night, even the beggars outside Nanjing knew that Wang Pu had arrived in Songjiang.

Nanjing, also known as Liudu.

After Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty, he established the capital in Nanjing. Later, King Yan Zhu Di raised an army to rob his nephew, Emperor Jianwen, and moved the capital from Nanjing to Beijing. However, Nanjing still retained its status as a sub-capital capital, and even the six ministries, the Kedao, and the Censorate Office were retained.

In other words, since Emperor Yongle, the Ming Dynasty has retained two government teams, but only the government team in Beijing is playing a practical role. The government team in Nanjing is actually only used to install frustrated officials and retired officials, and does not have any real power.

After receiving the report from the Songjiang Prefect Qian Heng, the Minister of War of Nanjing, Shi Kefa, and the honorary Qi Zhao Zhilong, who was in charge of Nanjing's military affairs, did not dare to neglect them. They immediately condemned the quick horse and reported to the capital urgently, and then urgently transferred two thousand Jinyiwei from Nanjing to Songshan to respond.

It is said that Wang Pu, the general, is not necessary or worthy of mobilizing troops to support and protect him, but the few Jiannu prisoners in his hands are extraordinary. If something goes wrong on the ground in Nanjing, with the severity of Emperor Chongzhen, the two of them should have moved their heads.

Three days later, Chang Yanling, Qianhu of the Jinyiwei and Li Zushu rushed to Huating with the two Qianyiwei.

Wang Pu immediately said goodbye to Qian Heng and others, and headed towards Nanjing under the escort of the Two Thousand Jinyiwei.

Chang Yanling and Li Zushu, the Jinyiwei Qianhu, were hereditary honoraries. Chang Yanling was a descendant of Chang Yuchun, the founding marshal of the Ming Dynasty. Li Zushu was also a descendant of Li Wenzhong, the founding general. Because he was a famous general, he never took the heroes of the world seriously, but he admired Wang Pu from the bottom of his heart.

Chang Yanling and Li Zushu are both powerful men, and they are young men in their early twenties. They are usually idle in Nanjing and the masters of fighting. Wang Pu was also a gangster before traveling through time. It was really a foul-like person to get together and colluded.

Within a few days, Chang Yanling made Li Zushu familiar with Wang Pu, and finally started to call him brothers and brothers.

On that day, the large group of people walked to Wuxian County, Suzhou and had just set up camp outside the city. Suzhou magistrate Wang Shicheng brought officials of all sizes and gentry and celebrities in Suzhou City to welcome him.

The Suzhou prefect Wang Shicheng is like the Songjiang prefect Qian Heng. They are both talented and believe that Wang Pu will definitely be valued by the Emperor Long Live after returning to Beijing, and his future will be limitless, so they all deliberately please and curry favor with each other. Moreover, Wang Shicheng and Wang Pu are still in their own family, so they must be even more comfortable with each other.

Wang Shicheng bowed to Wang Pu and said respectfully: "The lower-ranking official, Wang Shicheng, the governor of Suzhou, will meet General Wang."

Wang Pu hurriedly stepped forward to support Wang Shicheng, and smirked and said, "Oh, Lord Wang has ruined the young general."

Wang Shicheng introduced the gentry and celebrities behind him to Wang Pu one by one, but Wang Pu only remembered one of the little old men, Feng Menglong. Who is Feng Menglong? The author of the famous popular novel "Three Words" in the Ming Dynasty. This old man is a well-deserved master in the ancient Chinese novel world.

After the greetings, they treated them again as usual.

Wang Shicheng had already asked someone to set up a banquet in Wujiang County Government, and specially welcomed Wang Pu. After three rounds of wine, Wang Shicheng suddenly stood up and raised his hand to signal, "Please be quiet."

After everyone calmed down, Wang Shichengcai continued: "It's a bit boring to just drink, how about singing and dancing to cheer up?"

Everyone applauded.

Wang Shicheng smiled slightly and looked at Wang Pu and said, "Today, in order to welcome General Wang, I specially invited the Yufeng Kunban from Kunshan to sing a special show to help the wine."

The Kunqu opera of the Yufeng class is a great choice in Jiangnan. It costs a lot of money to invite them to perform special shows. Wang Shi became a small student who cursed Wang Pu, and he was willing to spend all his money.

As Wang Shicheng finished speaking, a pleasant drum music sounded outside the courtyard. Then two teams of drum musicians beat drums and gongs into the backyard of the county government. The drum music stopped abruptly when the two shifts sat down. An old troupe in his fifties came forward with a playbook and said respectfully: "Who will ask for a play?"

Wang Shicheng smiled and said to Wang Pu: "General Wang, please give me some play."

"How can I be embarrassed about this?"

When Wang Pu was about to refuse, Chang Yanling and Li Zushu, who were sitting beside him, frowning at him and saying, "Brother Wang, click, click the jade hairpin."

Wang Pu followed the boat and said, "Then let's have a story about jade hairpin."

"Okay." Wang Shicheng said loudly, "Then sing the Jade Hairpin."

The old troupe bent down and bowed, holding the playbook.

The drums and music of the two classes started again, and a beautiful figure had already walked in through the round arch.

The gentry and celebrities who were drinking immediately held their breath, and even the eyes of Chang Yanling and Li Zushu were staring at the beautiful figure. Wang Pu first glanced casually, then turned around and continued to drink as if nothing had happened, but soon he turned his head and his eyes fell on the beautiful figure again.

Wang Pu was a big gangster in his previous life. He had seen many beauties and had slept with many beauties. His mistresses were also considered beauties. There were also Hai Lanzhu and Bumu Butai whom Wang Pu had captured from Liaodong. They were even more charming beauties, but compared with the one in front of them, they looked overshadowed.

Wang Pu couldn't think of any appropriate adjective to describe the woman in front of her. Her eyes were like two soft springs. No matter how hard a man was, he would be easily transformed. Wang Pu couldn't help but think of an ancient poem: This woman should only be found in the sky, and she was originally a fairy exiled to the mortal world.
