Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 737 Shili Qinhuai is a Good Place

"Do you think the military leader has come together? What is the intention of the Zhili fleet to come to our Nanjing city at this time?"

"I don't know at all. The Zhili Fleet usually only sends a formation to patrol the Yangtze River waterway occasionally. It has never seen the main force of the fleet come together. I think there are strange things in this incident."

"Do you think something happened to us in Nanjing City, which caused the Zhili fleet to go to war?"

All the officials in Nanjing were terrified by the arrival of the Zhili fleet.

The Yamen of the Jianghuai Chief Secretary is located in Nanjing City, and important officials are also here. Most of them are officials in the late Ming Dynasty. They are very sensitive to the wind. When they saw the Zhili Fleet arriving in Nanjing City for no reason, they knew that the rain was coming. The wind is all over the building.

A gray-haired official walked over slowly, and said to these anxious officials: "As long as you don't do anything wrong, you don't have to be afraid that someone from above will send us to investigate us. Our Chief Secretary of Jianghuai has worked hard for the past two years, and nothing should happen. trouble."

"What Mr. Zhang said is true." The civil servants of Jianghuai Chief Secretary said one after another.

This old official, who is nearly seventy years old, is Zhang Yandeng, Civil Affairs Officer of Jianghuai Chief Secretary, who has been an official in the Ming Dynasty for more than 40 years, from the Wanli Year to the present.This person rewarded honesty and punished corruption, and had a high reputation, so he was appointed by Chu Yun as the Civil Affairs Officer of Jianghuai Chief Secretary, so that the officials of the Ming Dynasty in Nanjing City could adapt to the changes.

After Zhang Yandeng finished the training, he looked at the Victory ship moored at the pier, and there was a trace of uneasiness in his eyes. He didn't know whether the huge warship had brought Chu Yun, and if Chu Yun came, what was it for?Since the sea troubles were eliminated, the Jianghuai Chief Secretary has occupied the advantageous geographical location at the mouth of the Yangtze River, and has opened many textile factories, shipyards, and smelters. Logically, his political performance will not be too bad.As for corrupt officials, it's not that Jianghuai Chief Secretary has not been found out in the past two years, but compared to other provinces, Zhang Yandeng believes that he can lead by example, but not much.So what is the purpose of the arrival of the Zhili fleet?

Xu Jisheng, the commander of the Fourth Corps, was waiting at the pier with a small group of officers from the Fourth Corps in straight military uniform.Compared with the restless civil servants of Jianghuai Chief Secretary from top to bottom, his mood is more excited than uneasy.He used to fight with Chu Yun from Dongjiang Town until now. Thanks to Chu Yun, he has his current position, and he hasn't seen this old boss who is younger than him for more than a year.Even if Chu Yun came in person, Xu Jisheng didn't think he would be the one to cause trouble, because he had been leading the Fourth Corps to frighten the restoration forces here in the south of the Yangtze River, and he thought he had done nothing wrong.

"The ship's ladder has come down!" An official reminded in a low voice.

Sure enough, an external ladder protruded from the upper deck of the Victory and landed on the pier. First, a team of guards came down to ensure safety, and then Chu Yun led a group of naval generals and high-ranking officials from the capital.

Everyone in the port was greatly shocked. Regardless of whether the officials knew Chu Yun or not, they all knew that such a formation was enough to show that the military leader had come to Nanjing City in person!
"My minister, Zhang Yandeng, has met the military leader." Zhang Yandeng brought the restless Nanjing officials over to salute Chu Yun.

"Zhang is an old man, so there is no need to be polite." Chu Yun hurriedly said when he saw this old official who was nearly seventy years old.

"Military Master!" Xu Jisheng was obviously excited when he saw Chu Yun.

"Long time no see, do you hold grudges against me for not transferring you to the front line?" Chu Yun asked half-jokingly.

At present, the territory of the Kyushu Army is vast, and a large number of generals are required to be distributed to guard it. Naturally, many generals who followed him in the past could not go to the front line to obtain military exploits.

Xu Jisheng was familiar with Chu Yun's character and knew he was joking, so he didn't panic: "How dare my subordinates? At that time, Liu Bei was in Jingzhou for several years. When drinking with Liu Biao, he suddenly burst into tears. Liu Biao asked him in surprise, and Liu Bei said, 'I Always stay on the saddle, all the flesh on the legs disappeared; now I don’t ride again, the flesh on the inside of the legs has grown'. I don’t mean to compare myself to Liu Bei, but I just went to the gentle village in the south of the Yangtze River, and after some stable days, the fat has grown a lot .”

"Is there any good place to go in Jiangnan?" Chu Yun asked.

"If you want to talk about Jiangnan, you have to mention the Qinhuai River, which is ten miles away. There is a river separated by two banks. On one side is the Jiangnan Gongyuan, and on the other side is the old courtyard, the Pearl Market, the place of fireworks and willow lanes, and many talented and famous performers..."

Xu Jisheng talked about Shili Qinhuai, but he immediately noticed the women Aila, Xiao Xiuer, and Goya who were following Chu Yun. Among them, Aila looked at him with a half-smile, and immediately fell silent.He and Aila were almost in the same batch of people who joined the Kyushu Army, and he knew that the intelligence department was terrible. If he offended Aila because of the hilarity, he would really have no way to live a happy life in Jiangnan in the future.

"Sister Xiao, the ten-mile Qinhuai River he mentioned seems to be a good place. Shall we take a chance to see it?" Goya said to Xiao Xiu'er in a completely different style.

"Hush, that's not a good place." Xiao Xiu'er knew what "Firework Willow Alley" meant, and whispered to Goya.

"It seems that you have learned a lot of skills." Chu Yun showed Xu Jisheng an expression that I understood. Basically, talking about this topic can bring the relationship closer to a man, and he doesn't mind Xu Jisheng's hobbies.Of course, Chu Yun himself has no interest in these places. Shili Qinhuai's little tricks of showing off his talents and choosing the best oiran are already outdated in the eyes of Chu Yun, a descendant of his descendants, but officials of this era still regard it as a romantic thing.

"Hey." Xu Jisheng patted his crew cut embarrassingly.

Zhang Yandeng, a Civil Affairs Officer of Jianghuai Chief Department who was nearly [-] years old, saw Xu Jisheng openly talking about the place of fireworks when he saw Chu Yun.This is equivalent to when Emperor Apocalypse visited the south in the past, the local commander-in-chief stood in front of the emperor and told him that the ten-mile Qinhuai River was a good place, would you like to visit it, Your Majesty?When Zhang Yandeng thought of this scene, he couldn't imagine how beautiful it was.

"This time I personally went to Nanyang to quell the rebellion of the vassal states, and I have brought the whole of Nanyang into our Chinese territory. This time I came back triumphantly, passing through Nanjing City, thinking that this was once Nanzhili, and it is now one of the most prosperous places in China One, that's why I came here for inspection." Chu Yun looked around at the officials of Jianghuai Chief Secretary.

When the officials of the Jianghuai Chief Political Department heard that Chu Yun had taken all Nanyang, they were terrified.They have all seen the "world map" newly drawn by the Kyushu Army and distributed to various provinces and governments. They know that Nanyang is vast, but they did not expect to be defeated by the Kyushu Army!
"The leader of the army is wise and powerful, and his achievements will surpass the ages!"

"You don't need to flatter me, because this time I will stay in Nanjing City for a month to conduct inspections. Those who are meritorious will be promoted according to the situation, and those who have done it will be relegated." Chu Yun said.

It's here for a surprise inspection!The officials of the Jianghuai Chief Secretary all complained in their hearts, why did the military master focus on their Jianghuai Chief Secretary alone.
