Chapter 404: His Royal Highness the Prince is virtuous

Xie Qian smiled and said nothing about Shen Wen's words.

Soon, the report from the grain team quickly arrived at the Jingying Camp stationed in Lingqiu County.

And in this Beijing camp, tens of thousands of people gathered here urgently, waiting for the battle.

In addition, the Jinyiwei, the Eastern Factory and the staff stationed in various departments have long been waiting anxiously here.

The tens of thousands of Beijing cavalry selected were elite.

Because of Your Majesty's attention, I personally issued an order to take charge of the British Duke Zhang Mao.

Countless news from Datong, Lingqiu County, and the capital are summarized here.

The Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, almost like a "kidnapping", only brought a few escorts, and then rashly entered Lingqiu County.

And based on the school captains and Lishi who were mixed into Lingqiu County like sand, the news of the entire Lingqiu County was brought out.

The army was stationed here and did not enter rashly because the roads here were not open to traffic and horses, and they were all shabby trails. Even the grain teams in Xishan could only transport food to the inside by manpower.

The loss of human grain transport is extremely large. The general loss ratio of the military supplies supplied to the border towns in the Ming Dynasty was nine to one. In other words, if the Ming Dynasty requisitioned a civilian with 100 kilograms of grain carried by a civilian, the loss of this civilian back and forth on the road may have to eat 90 kilograms of grain. The actual food that fell into Jinzhou may be only about 11 kilograms, and the rest will be all lost on the road.

In Lingqiu County, ten thousand troops entered. If tens of thousands of people were not recruited to supply food in the endless supply of food, it would not be able to meet the supply of food and grass for the army. Therefore, now they can only be stationed on the periphery and send scouts and horses to inquire about the news. Once the thief is found, the army can not only be shocked, but also send an elite team of soldiers to enter the mountains when they are in a hurry.

As for the safety of Xie Qian, the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, Zhang Mao was worried. Mr. Xie left too anxiously. More than a dozen officials were carrying such a little escort, and even the coachman and sedan chairmen were left outside. It was really unwise.

The only thing Zhang Mao can do now is to send a large number of people to clean up the official road!

Although this road was cleaned up by the people of Xishan Academy, the purpose of their cleaning was to find a path that could be passed, just to enter the disaster area. However, a large number of military horses were really needed to enter, and to keep up with the supply, but the roads washed away by rocks and broken rivers were constantly cleaned out!

Otherwise, a large number of people would go in rashly, which would be like letting a group of troops with swords and guns but no food go in to grab the food of the victims.

Without food and grass, even the elites of the Beijing camp could not guarantee that a group of hungry soldiers could be restrained.

However... a large number of factory guards brought a lot of good news from it, which made Zhang Mao feel a little relaxed.

There are no traces of thieves found in it. The so-called thousands of thieves in the rumor are so huge that they will definitely have nests and their range of activities must be wide. As long as you explore, you will definitely find traces. In fact, the so-called thieves are invisible.

"God bless you!" Zhang Mao couldn't help but look at Xiao Jing beside him, and his tense face had finally sootheed a little.

This time, Xiao Jing also came, and the commander of the Jinyiwei, Mou Bin.

Xiao Jing and Mou Bin also breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

"There is good news!" Xiao Jing said with a smile: "The monk found a camp with a large number of victims inside. His Highness and the people from Xishan Academy were there. In other words, His Royal Highness is safe and sound. This is... good news, but... what is going on inside? What is the situation inside? What we brought back is just a one-sided statement. To be honest, we have no idea what we do. We still don't dare to report good news to His Majesty, for fear that something will happen, so we ordered people to continue to investigate."

Zhang Mao nodded in agreement and couldn't help but sigh: "What do you think about this Xishan Academy? What can a group of scholars do in such a difficult environment? Your Highness... Cough cough..."

Speaking of this, Zhang Mao subconsciously glanced at Xiao Jing and Mou Bin, and immediately shut up. He almost forgot that the two spy chiefs of the Ming Dynasty were standing in front of him.

Although Zhang Mao didn't say anything, Xiao Jing still understood Zhang Mao's meaning and smiled and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince is making a little nonsense. There is nothing to say. If Your Majesty is here, he will say this. We are all your Majesty's confidants and understand many things. When you go back this time, Your Highness the Crown Prince will definitely be beaten hard, and Fang Jifan... harms people..."

Now that everyone's safety has been roughly determined, Xiao Jing's mood has been relaxed!

He had never had a good impression of Fang Jifan, and he continued with a smile: "When he and His Highness built the academy, they said clearly and clearly. What did they say? That was to teach and educate people, and they wanted to come in to study. Therefore, the officials in the court were willing to send their children in. But as this guy read a ghost book, read, and read, the academy was gone, and all of them went here.

After running away, Mr. Xie was pitiful. He had a lot of old bones. He had to suffer a lot of hardships when he came here with the emperor's life. According to the person carrying the sedan chair, when he arrived at the foot of the mountain, the road was rugged and rocks were everywhere, and carriages and horses and sedan chairs could not be entered. Mr. Xie wanted to slow down and let someone clear the way first, but he gave a group of assistant officials. He was almost tied up in the mountains. Fortunately, nothing happened. If something happened, wouldn't the sky fall?"

"So..." Xiao Jing looked at Zhang Mao, then looked at Mou Bin, and then continued: "Our family thinks that the most important thing is Fang Jifan."

Zhang Mao said with a slight smile: "This is wrong. The students went to Xishan Academy to study, but their parents insisted on sending them in. Is it? Fang Jifan let him go in and study, but he didn't take out a knife and put it on the neck of the students. Oh, these students are too old, where are they going? Wherever Fang Jifan asked them to die, will they go? Fang Jifan asked them to die, will they go? Fang Jifan also asked them to eat*, and they also eat? From this, it can be seen that the problem of Xishan Academy is not Fang Jifan's own business, it is a conspiracy, how can everything fall on one person? Well, there is a saint at the end. This is not something we are worried about. What we have to worry about is to ensure the absolute safety of Your Highness, Xie Gong, and the people of the academy. The detailed work sent in must be investigated all the places inside, and no mistakes are allowed."

Zhang Mao paused and said, "There is also the matter of cleaning up the official road, but there are not enough people in the civilians, and Shuntian Mansion doesn't know what to cook."

After a while of complaint, I heard someone outside shouting: "Report, a report is coming from the mountains."

Report………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

When Zhang Mao heard the report, he immediately cheered up and said quickly: "Come in."

A lieutenant hurried in, carrying a report in his hand, and said, "It was sent by the grain team, and it is said to be written by the Xie Gong."

Xie Gong...

Everyone's eyes lit up.

Mr. Xie still had the leisure to deliver the memorial at this time, so it was even more appropriate to come.

Zhang Mao took over the report. It was an unusual report, without a wax seal or a seal. It was thought that the situation in the mountains was quite difficult, so even the paper was used by ordinary scholars. Not only that, it was more like a letter than a report, but it was just folded after it was written.

Zhang Mao looked down at the folded paper, looked at Xiao Jing and Mou Bin and said, "Eunuch Xiao, Commander Mou, this report, go directly to the palace?"

Xiao Jing frowned and cursed Zhang Mao’s old fox in his heart.

This is the first-hand news from Mr. Xie, which is completely different from the news sent by those detailed works and tents. Mr. Xie's observation in the mountains is definitely different from ordinary people, that is, this is the most important first-hand information for them at the moment.

"You have to see." Xiao Jing said: "Although the minister's memorials are not related to people, they cannot be easily checked, but the specific situation inside has not been completely understood yet. We are ordered to bear heavy responsibilities here. If there is some important information here and we miss it, who will be the one who will happen?"

Zhang Mao looked at Mou Bin.

Mou Bin said expressionlessly: "Eunuch Xiao is right."

Zhang Mao said seriously: "Eunuch Xiao said he could see, then let's see."

Xiao Jing was so angry that he was filled with smoke from his orifices. What does Eunuch Xiao mean? You don’t want to see it? You are really a thief. Although you are in a hurry to follow the power, if something happens, you and Zhang Mao can clearly tell the relationship between you and Zhang Mao.

Zhang Mao said, and easily unfolded the folded paper.

Three people, three pairs of eyes, fell on the paper in a daze.

Zhang Mao looked over at the sight of ten lines, his face becoming more and more strange.

What kind of memorial is this?

Too strange.

Mr. Xie is too flattering, right?

There are so many stingy and flattering things inside, and even Eunuch Xiao, who has always been shameless, is afraid that he can't say it.

When His Royal Highness comes in, shouldn’t this be described as naughty or nonsense? Why did it become the savior of the victims and the model of the virtuous?

If it was not Xie Qian, but Zhang Mao or Eunuch Xiao who came in, and said these shameless words, they would have said it.

But the problem is... the one who speaks is the honest and bold Mr. Xie.

"Is this the handwriting of Mr. Xie?" Zhang Mao looked at Xiao Jing, with suspicion in his eyes.

Xiao Jing is a eunuch who wrote a letter to the official secretary of the Ministry of Lishui. After the memorial was drafted by the cabinet, he would first send the official secretary to his review. After the official’s annotation, he would need to send the official secretary to a red stamp. Therefore, Xiao Jing is familiar with Xie Qian’s handwriting!

He nodded subconsciously: "Yes, it must be his. I know all the words turned into ashes."

Next, the three of them raised their eyes from the memorial, and looked at each other and looked confused!

However, Zhang Mao said: "It is reported that His Highness the Crown Prince is very good at copying and printing."
