Chapter 696 Nanjing is alive(1/2)
"Alas, the traitors are in power, and the creatures are in trouble. But we have no power to tie up and are useless. There are thousands of ravines in our chest, but no strand can be smooth! I am sorry for what I have learned, and I am sorry for the teachings of the saints..."
"Brother Hou, Brother Hou, you have drunk too much, so say a few less words."
"Drinking too much? Do I seem to have drunk too much? Brother Chen, look at me and my eyes. Do I seem to have drunk too much? Open your eyes and see, what have these vulgar martial artists made in this world? Hundreds of thousands of people in Xiangyang were all slaughtered! Didn't you go to the river to see the floating corpses? Haha, hahaha! This is the important minister you have been the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is here to tell me?!"
"Brother Hou, you're really drunk too much, be careful of the ears of the wall..."
"There are ears in the wall? I am not afraid of ears in the wall! Others dare not say that others are afraid of him, but I, Hou Fangyu, are not afraid! Even if I am broken into pieces, what are I afraid of? I, Hou Fangyu, want to leave this innocence in the world..."
Nanjing, on the banks of the Qinhuai River.
In the gauze-like dusk, the second floor of a well-known restaurant along the river was half drunk. A young man in a gorgeous dress was full of wine and shouted passionately, which attracted the attention of the drinkers around him.
Many young scholars wanted to refute, but when they saw that this person was the beloved son of Mr. Hou Ge of the dynasty, they immediately swallowed the words back.
no way.
Because the war in Huguang was led by the fact that Mr. Hou Ge was "in popularity" at this time and had a lot of voice. These scholars all had little arms and legs. Who would dare to touch his bad head at this time?
However, it is different from the past that everyone has been relatively closed. At this time, because the Haicheng Morning Post was released almost at the same time as Nanjing, only one day apart, many scholars in Nanjing could also learn about Haicheng's news, especially the many enlightenment cultures in it, and no one was simply passionate and impulsive.
Seeing that Hou Fangyu was pulled by several people, he was struggling like he was about to jump off the building while spitting out of the building. A young soldier from a distance couldn't help but spat: "With this ability, why are you trying to fight here? How good is it to go to the Huguang battlefield to kill the enemy? Anyway, we are the generals who fight the thieves, and it is their father and son who are supporting us!"
"Brother Jiang, be careful of your words. Don't let the trouble come from your mouth."
A colleague was busy next to him whispering.
The scholar spat again and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp. "Drinking wine doesn't make people feel excited. It's really a big deal. Brother Lu, Brother Qian, let's change to a quiet shop later. I'll treat you to continue drinking!"
Although the other people on the table did not reveal it, they could no longer stand the Hou Fangyu and the others' table and nodded.
However, just as the few people were about to kill the wine glass, they continued to change places. On the street downstairs, a sudden burst of restless noise came from the street, like thunder.
"What's going on?"
The few people were shocked and came to the balcony to check.
Nanjing was the core of the Ming Dynasty at this time, and the place of charity was the most feared. The people were in chaos. None of the scholars had caught up with the imperial examination at the end of last year and had not yet entered the officialdom. However, at the beginning of the year, news came out that they might have to be admitted to the Encyclopedia this year, so they all came to Nanjing early. On the one hand, they were asking for information, and on the other hand, they also got to know some colleagues in advance and had more ways, so they also paid special attention to changes in the current situation.
"What's going on! Where did the troublemakers come from? "
Hou Fangyu and others also heard the news and hurried to the balcony to check it out.
After successfully passing the imperial examination last year, Chen Zhenhui, who had already entered the government, frowned and said, "Is it possible that something happened in Wuchang and news came here?"
The expressions of the few people changed suddenly.
This is also one of Nanjing's biggest shortcomings as the capital. It is located in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. Once something happens upstream, there will be a panic here soon.
Hou Fangyu couldn't help but feel even more heartbroken and whistled to the sky: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, who will save my thousands of creatures in the Ming Dynasty and kill the evil ones!"
However, before Hou Fangyu's speech was settled, the cheers in front became clear.
"Report—"
"Good news--"
"Haicheng Hou Xu Changqing made a quick report of 800 miles! The Marquis of Haicheng and the Marquis of Haicheng set up an ambush in the Kuandian Mountains in the north of Zhenjiang more than ten days ago, successfully defeated the main force of the two red flags, beheaded nearly 30,000, and captured the Tartars's lords's lords' flag, Gushan's Ezhen Daishan, and killed the Tartar royal family on the spot. Luo Luohun, the master of the Red Flag, and seized countless armor, weapons, and flags..."
As he shouted all the way, the messenger's voice was already hoarse, but he still shouted heart-wrenchingly, trying to convey the news brought by his voice to everyone who could hear it.
After one, the other continued to shout.
Even the crazy cheers of the crowds around him rang out, just like mountains and seas.
"What?"
"He, he, he, he, what did he say just now? Why didn't I hear it clearly??"
Mr. Hou, who was about to continue to make a statement, was as if someone had a slap in his head. His drunkenness instantly dissipated most of his eyes. He rubbed his eyes hard, and he was still a little disbelief.
Chen Zhenhui was also a little dumbfounded and shivered uneasyly.
Hou Fangyu didn't hear it clearly just now, but he undoubtedly heard it clearly. After all, the messenger worked so hard.
But he could not describe his feelings in words at this time.
It turned out that Xu Changqing did not care about the war in Huguang, but... changed to another dimension, a dimension that they could not even imagine...
"Report, good news..."
At this time, the messenger began to shout for the next round, and finally broke away from the crowd and rushed towards this side.
Suddenly, they were surrounded downstairs again, and under their noses, they shouted with the certificate of victory.
This time, even if you don’t want to hear it, you won’t be able to hear it.
"Swish!"
Hou Fangyu's little face turned pale immediately, it was even cleaner than the white wall next to him, and he felt a burning pain on his face.
How could he do this?
Xu Changqing did not go to Huguang, but actually went to Liaodong. The key is that he actually made such great achievements...
How can he play this with Mr. Hou?
Especially his performance just now... he was like a jumping clown who couldn't get on the table...
"Hahahahahahahaha, it's worthy of being the Marquis of Haicheng! I'll just say, who is the Marquis of Haicheng? What a great talent! How could he watch the dogs and Tartars bully our Ming Dynasty! It turns out that Marquis of Haicheng is waiting for that here! It's great, happy, happy, and you must be a big deal!"
The young scholar who had just spitted on Hou Fangyu could no longer hold back and laughed freely. He picked up the wine pot and drank it as a headache. He didn't care even if the wine was poured over his clothes.
The other people also threw Hou Fangyu directly into the sky and agreed loudly.
I don’t know when, as long as they hear Xu Changqing’s name, they will feel at ease!
And when Xu Changqing was news came at this time, it was still such a big victory that would definitely control the overall situation of the world!
This means that the war is likely to change rapidly, and Enko may not be able to escape this year.
"Haha, I'll do it!"
"The Marquis of Haicheng is mighty!"
"Model Jun is such a good man..."
Soon, everyone could hear it clearly and could no longer suppress it. The whole street would become a sea of joy.
Even Chen Zhenhui couldn't help but shook her arms excitedly!
Even though he couldn't stand Xu Changqing's actions, especially from the perspective of Hou Fangyu's friend, he couldn't help but give Xu Changqing a thumbs up!
What are the pillars and beams of the country?
That's it!
Only Hou Fangyu was stunned and muttering, muttering 'How is it possible'.
But no one has paid attention to him.
After this battle, the reputation he had accumulated over the years was really going to collapse completely.
...
Soon, the news spread to the imperial city.
Hall of Care for Heart.
Zhu Cixuan was having a meal quickly, waiting to see the cabinet next time, and quickly found a way to deal with the war in Huguang.
He suddenly heard the news and didn't come back to his senses for a long time. He choked and didn't realize it.
He was still a palace maid with sharp eyes. When he saw that his face was almost bruised, he hurriedly brought him a bowl of herbal tea.
Zhu Cilang subconsciously took a few big sips, and then he felt much better, but he couldn't help but whistle at the sky: "Haicheng Hou, Haicheng Hou, you did not disappoint me! All my grievances are worth it... Hurry, go to the queen of Tongbing's mother. No, I want to go in person..."
...
cabinet.
Shi Kefa, Ma Shiying, Hou Xun, Qian Qianyi and others were about to enter the palace. When they heard the news, everyone stood there and couldn't control themselves for a long time.
After a while, after the battle report was handed over and everyone checked it in turn, then they came to their senses.
Hou Xun was already covered in cold sweat and murmured: "Marty of Haicheng, he actually has such a brave man... Isn't this? Isn't it just abolishing the two red flags of the Tartars..."
Shi Kefa and Ma Shiying looked at each other, and both of them showed unspeakable bitter smiles on their faces.
What are the two of them fighting for?
Under Xu Changqing's control, their little one is even worse than playing house...
Only Qian Qianyi's eyes seemed to be about to spurt out of fire, and he felt that there was no pore on his body uncomfortable!
Do you still have to worry about following a master like Xu Changqing?
Now that I don’t want to say anything, I can’t keep my low profile…
...
It was almost like a gust of wind.
The news of the Kuandian victory spread throughout Nanjing in the blink of an eye. The entire Nanjing city swept away the haze of this period, and the entire city suddenly became alive, emitting a huge and indescribable vitality.
To be continued...
