Need for a Guard

The news of Kang Shanzhen's assassination spread in the early morning of the second day, like the water waves produced by throwing stones into the lake, swaying endlessly layer by layer.

The entire imperial court was also like a rippling lake, setting off layers of vortexes.

Countless ministers came to visit Kang Shanzhen's house, and they had different attitudes. Some were loyal to Kang Shanzhen, some were stakeholders with Kang Shanzhen, and some were wall-sitters. Naturally, those loyalists hoped that Kang Shanzhen would get better soon. Stakeholders are worried that their own interests will be damaged, and they are afraid of being suppressed by foreign parties, while those who sit on the fence don't need to sit on the fence, and are considering whether to fall to Xiao Yan.

When they saw Kang Shanzhen's dark complexion, they vaguely guessed that Kang Shanzhen really couldn't make it through.

The little emperor Yan Jing also came to check on Kang Shanzhen's condition in person, his brows were furrowed, and he was extremely melancholy. Xiao Yan also came to cry like a cat and mouse: "Commander Kang, wake up! Hey... Commander Kang has served the country all his life. , but why did you die in such an unclear way? Commander Kang, although we have political disagreements, we are all for the prosperity of Dayan. I still admire you very much in my heart. I feel so sad when you leave like this ah."

Xiao Yan said he was sad, but there were no tears in his eyes, but there was a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Bai Mochou scolded hooliganically: "Fuck, who the hell did it? I curse him for having sores on the top of his head, pus on the soles of his feet, giving birth to children without piercing eyes, and cutting off children and grandchildren." While yelling, he kept looking at Xiao Yan. .

Xiao Yan was terrified with anger: "Old hooligan, what are you doing cursing people?"

Bai Mochou raised her arms and snorted, "If you don't look at me, how do you know that I look at you? Why do you look at me when I curse? Are you guilty of guilt?"

"You...Bai Yushi dare to speak nonsense again, be careful of retribution."

Xiao Yan was really guilty, snorted angrily, walked out of the Kang residence with his back on his back, and sullenly said to Cheng Ye in a low voice, "This old rascal, I think he is tired of his life."

Cheng Ye whispered: "You can't do it! At this time, we must stabilize the situation, and we must not make people suspect that we did it."

"Speaking of it, why don't you understand the truth?" Xiao Yan scratched his bald head, cursing: "Why isn't Kang Shanzhen dead yet? Hurry up and die."

Cheng Ye said: "Yue Zhang don't worry, he will die in three days, Tata said, no one can resist the poison of spider silk."

All the ministers believed that Kang Shanzhen would pass away soon, except for a few diehards, most of the officials had already started looking for a new master and tree.

The selected objects are only two complete big trees, plus two small trees that have not grown up.

Bai Mochou and Xiao Yan are naturally big trees, while Tian Fen and Shi Yue have shallow roots, so they are naturally small trees, and these two small trees are also inextricably related to the big tree.

Overall, just the two factions.

Kang Shanzhen’s series of officials, apart from the loyal ones, all backed up the big gifts, and went to pay respects at Xiao Yan’s and Tian Fen’s mansions respectively. As for the officials who visited Shi Yue, they came directly to Bai Mochou’s mansion. Weng and son-in-law, it can be regarded as two become one.

Although Shi Yue was worried about Kang Shanzhen's injury, he must not be confused about important matters. The two thousand militia regiments sent to Haizhou must not be delayed and must be separated immediately. He will send Fu Qiang, Sun Meng, Lei Dahu, Zhang Yunhai, Cui Long, People like Wang Hongce, Liu Baohe, and Tao Lei called together to Mingyue Tower. After drinking for three rounds, and dismissing the idlers, they said: "There is an important matter, and I need to discuss it carefully with my brothers. It is risky, but it is also a problem." An opportunity to make a name for yourself and plead for the people."

Sun Meng, Lei Dahu and the others immediately widened their eyes, "Brother Shi, if you have something good to say, hurry up, we are all waiting."

"Water transportation in Haizhou is very important, but it was invaded by Japanese pirates. I plan to form a militia..."

Shi Yue gave a general overview of the situation, but he concealed many real allusions of Su Xiaoxiao, and finally added: "You don't have to worry that it is the boundary of the south of the Yangtze River and you will not be able to gain a foothold. I will write to the eldest princess and let the eldest princess ask about this What’s more, don’t think that I’m just forming a militia group to drag you into the water. I actually have a long-term plan. The brothers are all landlubbers. Have you raised a dry navy for fun? The Haizhou navy is rotten, so you can The end of life, do you understand what I mean?"

As soon as Shi Yue finished speaking, he was afraid that everyone would be stunned for a moment. He looked at each other left and right, his eyes sparkling with excitement - they could all hear that Shi Yue wanted to form a navy in the name of militia to protect the pier , Slowly eat the Haizhou navy.

This appetite is big enough!

Lei Dahu frowned in embarrassment: "But we are all landlubbers, we can't play anything in the water."

Sun Meng said: "Brother Lei, you are so worthless, you can learn from it."

Lei Duhu glared, "Learn what! Those soldiers can learn, but we are generals. Generals don't know how to swim, so why won't we be bullied to death?"

The crowd laughed!

Zhang Yunhai stood up and said, "Vice Envoy Shi, to tell you the truth, my elder brother used to be a lieutenant of the Haizhou Navy. The decline was unbearable, and my elder brother also disarmed and returned to the fields, and indulged in the mountains and rivers."

Shi Yue said with a smile: "So, your elder brother is quite a talent."

Zhang Yunhai said: "I am also proficient in water skills. My elder brother is called Zhang Yunshui, and I am called Zhang Yunhai. Both of them cannot do without water. I used to be a sailor too. I practiced diligently and learned a lot of water warfare with my elder brother. But then my elder brother was disappointed with the Haizhou navy, so I naturally gave up my wish to join the navy and became a black guard..."

"Haha, I didn't expect Brother Zhang to be an amphibious talent!"

Shi Yuexi: "Brother Zhang, are you interested in forming a militia group in Haizhou? Your elder brother is also a talent, can he come out again?"

Zhang Yunhai said with a smile: "Your Excellency is so ambitious, do I dare to follow? The Japanese pirates are vicious. They are called bandits. They are actually Japanese officers and soldiers pretending to be Japanese. They are very rampant and hateful. I must punish them. My brother is unemployed and kills pigs at home. That's a pair." It's a pity to kill pigs when you're a soldier."

Everyone laughed.

Shi Yue said: "Okay, that brother Zhang counts as one, you two brothers have to go together! Who else, who is willing to go?" His eyes fell on Lei Dahu, Sun Meng and Fu Qiang.

Lei Dahu and Sun Meng raised their heads high while the other lowered their heads, ignoring Shi Yue's gaze.

Fu Qiang pointed at these two guys, and joked: "Since the two brothers gave me this opportunity, how dare I be ungrateful?"

Shi Yue's eyes lit up, "Brother Fu is willing to go?"

He thinks a lot. When it comes to the ability to lead troops, Fu Qiang, Lei Dahu, and Sun Meng have learned from him. Running the army is far better than Liu Baohe, Wang Hongce and others. If you really want to form a militia, you must Only people like Fu Qiang and the others can control the field, and together with brothers Zhang Yunhai and Su Xiaoxiao's brother Su Buhui, it will be possible.

Seeing that Fu Qiang took the initiative to stand up, Shi Yue breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Brother Fu, let me tell you, I really let you pick it up, work hard, and from now on you will be Su Ping's second, let Lei Dahu, Sun Go ahead and regret it."

Everyone laughed.
