After being exiled, I led my whole family to rebel.

Chapter 308: Quick horse meeting friends
In the Luzhou frontline military camp.

Jiang Yongkang was reading military documents in the account.

Ever since he learned that the firearms blueprints had been stolen, Jiang Yongkang launched a fierce attack on the eastern battlefield.

If they win another state, they can go to Qiongzhou.

Along the way, they conquered cities and territories. The battle became smoother and smoother, and their reputation became louder and louder. Some counties even welcomed them into the city with gongs and drums.

The reputation of Jinzhou Prefecture spread far and wide. Even in places as far away as Luzhou, ordinary people knew about cowpox vaccine and sweet potatoes, and said they had been looking forward to them for a long time.

Some counties, although still under the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty, imitated the style of Jinzhou Prefecture early on. Not only did they first promote universal education on their own, they even allowed women to attend classes in some academies under the influence of Jinzhou Prefecture.

Even though there are still separate seats for men and women, and a special female teacher is hired, taking this step is tantamount to showing goodwill to the Jinzhou Prefecture.

The more keen students have begun to purchase Jinzhou Prefecture textbooks from Luzhou, and have quietly invited teachers from Luzhou's past. They have secretly studied their arithmetic, physics, chemistry and other knowledge, hoping that once their city is conquered If they win, they can also get a head start in the official assessment.

For a time, Confucianism was abandoned, but the truth-seeking and pragmatic atmosphere in Jinzhou Prefecture took over.

The border area between Luzhou and Jianzhou was under heavy artillery fire. On this vast plain, the two parties fought dozens of rounds, large and small.

The people of Jinzhou Prefecture cherished the soldiers under their command and refused to let the soldiers fight hard. Instead, they relied more on firearms. The soldiers on the Qiongzhou side were all brave at first, but they could not withstand firearms physically and could only retreat step by step.

There was constant artillery fire in the two places, and people were closely watching the checkpoints going to and from Jianzhou. The roads leading from Jianzhou to Luzhou were guarded at all times. Even so, I don't know when, there was a trend of families fleeing from Jianzhou to Luzhou.

They went over mountains and ridges, and they all took small roads. They didn't know which direction they were going from, so it was impossible to guard against them. Some soldiers even wrote letters to their families, asking them to flee to Luzhou first, and then run there with them. This trend continued until the general guarding Jianzhou killed hundreds of soldiers who were preparing to escape.

After seizing Xiangzhou, Jiang Yongkang had to send people to clear out the villages and towns below. Therefore, there were always constant battles and small battles on the border.

And Jiang Yongkang seems to be used to this kind of life on horseback.

In fact, he is not a man with great ambitions. Perhaps when he was younger, he had the idea of ​​becoming a general in the future and honoring his ancestors.

At that time, he simply felt that the general was very majestic.

But as he grew older, his ambition became to take over his father's business and expand the business nationwide.

Until the massacre came.

Suddenly, all his relatives are gone, and he is alone in the world.

And the huge wealth left by his father.

He originally thought that he would become a ghost in the world, but unexpectedly he met her.

That woman with a world in mind and a genius.

He has transformed from a businessman's son into a powerful general, completely getting rid of the notion of status and clan. If nothing unexpected happens, his name may still appear in the history books and leave a mark in the history books.

The young general had some green stubble on his lips due to long days of hard work.

His figure has completely grown, with shoulders and waist, and his brows are cold.

Since he was inside the house at this moment, he took off his silver armor and only wore casual clothes with a narrow waist.

His tent was all plain. Because of his military affiliation and Xu Zhenying's emphasis on the importance of internal affairs, Jiang Yongkang also had strict requirements on personal internal affairs.

His account was all in order, except for the accumulation of various documents on the table, which looked a little messy.

The news that Xu Zhenying might appear in Luzhou came so suddenly.

The communications soldier was sweating from running. He handed over the latest military report and said breathlessly: "The prefect of Luzhou came to report that over in Xiangzhou... Minister Zhao Qionian from the Supervision Department suddenly appeared and asked people from the Supervision Department to take the lead. A female secretary from the government office left. Now Minister Zhao and people from the Supervision Office are stationed at the government office, investigating eleven officials and encouraging people to report corrupt officials... This inspection was vigorous... Xiangzhou The officials are all in danger, and now there are rumors that this storm will spread to Luzhou..."

Jiang Yongkang slowly wiped his face with a handkerchief, "This inspection happens every year. This year we started to conduct patrol inspections. It's just a routine action. It's just that this time Zhao Qionian traveled so far, which is unprecedented. This Zhang from Luzhou Mr. Fu, his hands are clean, what are you afraid of?"

The communications soldier lowered his voice and was obviously a little excited, "No! News came from Xiangzhou that someone saw Zhao Qionian accompanied by dozens of military experts and a well-protected carriage. The identity of the person inside was unknown. They separated from Xiangzhou, and now the carriage was heading towards our Luzhou! Some people suspected that the carriage was carrying His Royal Highness. The prefect was very anxious and asked us if the military had received it. Is there any news that His Highness is coming to Luzhou?”

Jiang Yongkang's expression changed slightly, "What? Your Highness... is coming to Luzhou?"

Naturally, the communications soldier didn't know.

Jiang Yongkang's voice became deeper, "When did it happen?"

"About half a month ago. According to the distance, if Your Highness had not stopped on the way, we should have almost reached the border of our Luzhou. General, Your Highness... will she... really come to our Luzhou?"

"She is as willful as ever!" Jiang Yongkang complained, but there was joy on his face, "Quick, prepare your horse!"

The signal soldier also looked happy and immediately went out to fetch the horse.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Jiang Yongkang opened the curtain, he saw a beautiful figure standing hesitantly outside the tent.

Jiang Yongkang immediately frowned and looked at the personal guard beside him, "Why is she still here?"

The personal guard could only complain repeatedly: "General, I have tried to persuade you countless times, but she just refuses to leave. And Miss Wang said that she will stand at your door, silently, waiting for you... It will not affect your work. "She's an unmarried girl, so I can't force her to leave."

As soon as the girl saw Jiang Yongkang coming out, she immediately stepped forward. She was still holding a food box in her hand, and she seemed a little attentive at the moment: "General, you are busy with government affairs, I am afraid you are hungry. I made the pastries with my own hands. , if you don’t mind my crude craftsmanship, please accept it——”

Jiang Yongkang took half a step back, frowning, and his face became more and more impatient: "Miss Wang, please respect yourself. I have said many times that it is my duty to save you. Even if it wasn't you that day, I would save others. Now. This is a military camp, please leave immediately if you are not interested. If you come back again, don’t blame me for treating you like a spy.”

Miss Wang's face turned pale instantly.

She didn't understand why Jiang Yongkang, who was just polite and distant a few days ago, suddenly spoke so mercilessly today.

Thinking that she was the daughter of a county magistrate in Luzhou after all, her father kept her here to check her. Although her life experience was a little different, she was a woman from an official family. Now that her figure was so low, why would he refuse to do so?

Miss Wang's eyes turned red and she bit her lower lip, looking pitiful. "General, I just want to repay the kindness of saving my life. I thought that there was no one to take care of the general, so I wanted to take care of the general's food and daily life. Why bother, general?" To make people feel so embarrassed?"

Jiang Yongkang didn't know what women were doing. He simply hated women who cried when something happened.

Especially this girl Wang, who is thin and loves to cry, and her voice is like a mosquito buzzing. The key is that now she is blocking his way!
"I have housekeepers here to eat and wash clothes, so you don't have to worry about it. If you are really so idle, why not find a serious job."

Jiang Yongkang said this coldly, then turned and left. The personal guard officer brought the horse.

He turned over and ignored the shocked look of Miss Wang, and said to the guard: "If I come back and she is still here and has not left, you can leave!"

Jiang Yongkang rode away without any hesitation.

When the two guard officers saw that Miss Wang was about to cry again, they were at a loss. However, one of them had a quick reaction and immediately grabbed the female soldier next to him and asked for help.

Miss Wang has been walking around outside Jiang Yongkang's tent every day in the past few days. Everyone in the military camp knows it. If it weren't for Jiang Yongkang's thoughts, many female soldiers would have been disgusted with it!

She cries in front of men all day long, like a weak willow supporting the wind, shedding tears after just two sentences. This is exactly the kind of person that these hot female soldiers hate the most!

In front of this group of female soldiers from Jinzhou Prefecture who dare to break out and do anything, weakness is the quality they despise most.

So when they saw Jiang Yongkang speaking, the female soldiers looked down upon Miss Wang's behavior, but they still kept their words in mind, "Miss Wang, don't stand in front of our minister's door. Others will see it. You don't care. We Minister Jiang still wants to save face. You don’t know what the rumors have become in the past two days. Do you want to repay your kindness like this?”

However, some people were not as polite as this one, "Really, how can such a well-behaved girl stay in front of a man's tent day and night? Even the reputation of our female soldiers has been dragged down in the past few days. We have all worked hard. , passed five levels and killed six generals, and became a female soldier based on her own ability. However, when some people came, people would question whether we female soldiers only think about finding men all day long. Bah, it really embarrasses us women. !”

"That's right, Miss Wang, you can't repay a favor with a grudge! Minister Jiang is not short of people to take care of you. If you really have nothing to do and want to repay your favor, why don't you apply for a job at the Military Logistics Department. Then you will still have a monthly salary, and you can rely on your own ability. Isn’t it better to make money by relying on a man’s toughness?”

The girl Wang blushed in shame and stamped her feet again, "You are vulgar! I won't tell you, but when the general comes back, you will be the one to look after me!"

After saying this, Miss Wang ran away.

The few female soldiers and girls were left looking at each other.

"No, she wants evil people to complain first? Which of the things we said are not the truth?"

"That's not right. She said this as if she was very close to Minister Jiang? Minister Jiang didn't even look at her..."

"That's right, I just want to cry if I can't say it anymore. If you have the ability to make a few gestures——"

"Oh, I'm tired of crying all day long. It's good to go... to save Minister Jiang from being upset."

"Speaking of which, the girls from Luzhou are all slender and thin, and they look like they are going to fall if they follow the wind. I have to suggest to the instructor that the girls from Luzhou also go out for morning exercises with us to practice their fitness, otherwise the girls from Qiongzhou will People are coming to fight, these girls with little feet can’t even run fast——”

Several female soldiers were chattering, but the two personal guards looked at the two female soldiers who walked over. Their tendons were trained to be stronger than them, and they said silently in their hearts: Who said girls can't beat men? ? Look at these people, each one is stronger than the other, they are indeed female soldiers from Jinzhou Prefecture——

Jiang Yongkang was riding a horse, he was very anxious.

As soon as he rushed out of the camp, he threw away the personal guards behind him from a distance.

The guards didn't know why, and while they were looking at each other, they heard a horse coming up from behind. The man was Jiang Yongkang's long follower. He was also riding non-stop at this moment. Seeing that they were being thrown away by Jiang Yongkang, they hurriedly said: "Hurry up, hurry up, there is news that His Royal Highness Prince Zhao has come to our Luzhou—"

"What? Who?"

"His Royal Highness King Zhao! His Highness King Zhao!" Some people were still confused, "Which His Highness King Zhao?"

"God! Apart from His Highness Prince Zhao of Jinzhou Prefecture, how many other His Highnesses are there in this world?"

There was a gasp, and the guard's saddle was held down, "You mean...the legendary Prince Zhao is here?"

"Hurry up! Didn't you see that Minister Jiang rushed to greet us!"

"Hey, hey, wait for us -"

This was a big deal. As soon as everyone heard that Xu Zhenying had come to Luzhou, they almost immediately became excited and whipped their whips into the air.

There is Jeju between Luzhou and Xiangzhou. According to Xu Zhenying's footsteps, Jiang Yongkang estimated that they should have entered the territory of Luzhou.

So he rode through the mountains and forests at high speed, splashing the birds all over the mountains and forests. It is when the grass grows and the birds fly and the ice and snow melt, the mountains and forests are green, and the spring breeze blows on your face, giving you a warm feeling.

As soon as they saw the checkpoint, the soldiers stationed there heard the rapid sound of horse hooves in the distance, and then saw Jiang Yongkang's face, "Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

he shouted eagerly.

The garrisoned soldiers immediately recognized the young east-facing general and moved the roadblock without any delay.

Then the man disappeared in front of everyone like the wind.

Immediately afterwards, another small group of people rushed past.

After they were far away, the soldiers stationed on guard said in a daze: "What big thing happened?"

"Is it possible that someone from Prince Ming is calling?"

"If it was Prince Ming's people calling, then why did Minister Jiang run to Jianzhou?"

The sun is setting in the west, and the setting sun shines like golden light on the mountains and forests.

A quick glance, the horse's hooves rushing.

Soon, Jiang Yongkang saw a rickety carriage coming down the official road. The carriage was not going very fast, and there were dozens of people surrounding it. Not even a fly could get in front or behind.

The coachman obviously had a familiar face.

From a long distance away, the coachman Ming Xiaoshuang waved to him, and almost immediately said to Xu Zhenying in the carriage behind him: "Your Highness, Minister Jiang! It's Minister Jiang!"

No wonder Ming Xiaoshuang was excited.

Although both of them were old people who first made a fortune on the road of exile, unlike everyone else, Jiang Yongkang did not rise to prominence at the beginning. But from the time he killed the bandits, Jiang Yongkang seemed to have taken a completely different path from them.

While others were still wavering, Jiang Yongkang defected to His Highness early. By the time others realized it, Jiang Yongkang had already made great achievements, and his achievements were astonishing, leaving others far behind.

To use an unfortunate metaphor, Xu Zhenying and Jiang Yongkang are like a family with an inner circle and an outer circle.

Xu Zhenying guarded Jinzhou Prefecture and managed it, while Jiang Yongkang conquered the city and expanded his territory.

Not to mention, Jiang Yongkang was proficient in the art of war and marched westward, occupying six cities in three or four years.

It can be said that most of Xu Zhenying's empire was built by Jiang Yongkang.

Even though Jiang Yongkang stayed in Jinzhou Mansion for a short time, legends about Jiang Yongkang were spread everywhere in Jinzhou Mansion.

It is said that Jiang Yongkang is a young talent who is not only familiar with the art of war, but also proficient in all eighteen martial arts.

It is said that Jiang Yongkang has a handsome face and a gentle temper.

It is said that Jiang Yongkang is the dream man of countless girls in Jinzhou Prefecture.

Everyone knows that Minister Jiang to the west is like a divine needle that can fix the sea. Since then, he has almost never been defeated in a battle to the west.

What's more, he is a veteran figure in the Xu family's political affairs team. Even people like Xu Yinxi, Ming Xiaoshuang, Fang Xun and others have to avoid Jiang Yongkang.

"Is Jiang Yongkang here?" With a chuckle, Xu Zhenying opened the car curtain and saw the familiar figure on the mountain road in the distance in the afterglow of the setting sun.

Xu Zhenying narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he wanted to see the person coming more clearly.

It was several years ago that she met Jiang Yongkang.

In these years, she lived in Jinzhou Prefecture, sleeping and sleeping, while Jiang Yongkang made great achievements in the east. The two were the closest friends, but also the farthest partners.

Hearing Xu Zhenying's call, he seemed to sense his master's mood, and even the horse under Jiang Yongkang became impatient.

The horse swooped down and then slowly stopped in front of the carriage.

Ming Xiaoshuang immediately jumped off the carriage, punched Jiang Yongkang in the chest, and said with a smile: "What a boy, you have grown so tall! The young man at that time has now become a general guarding one side. Jiang Yongkang, you still have to recognize him. Brother Ming?”

Jiang Yongkang reluctantly moved his eyes away from the green curtain, and then showed a slightly shy smile to Ming Xiaoshuang: "Brother Ming."

Ming Xiaoshuang responded, seeming to be proud of having teased Jiang Yongkang, and also seemed pleased that even though Jiang Yongkang was now in a high and powerful position, he still cared about their friendship in his heart.

However, Xu Zhenying opened the car curtain and stared at the visitor with a smile, "Jiang Yongkang, do you still recognize me?"

Jiang Yongkang's face immediately turned red. Although he has been on the battlefield all year round, his skin is still very white. When he lowered his head, his ears were red, which looked particularly beautiful under the broken light of the setting sun. "Greetings to Your Highness. I haven't seen you in the past few years. How is everything, Your Highness?"

"It's very good. I'm wide and fat, and it tastes delicious."

Mr. Lin looked at the tall and thin man in front of him, and looked back and forth between him and Xu Zhenying. Then he stroked his beard and smiled with an unfathomable look on his face: "Jiang Yongkang, Minister Jiang, right? It's really better than hearing it a hundred times." As soon as I saw him, he was worthy of being the most powerful general in my Jinzhou Prefecture, and he was worthy of being the dream lover of thousands of girls in my Jinzhou Prefecture. "

Xu Zhenying's expression paused.

Good, good, very good.

Mr. Lin is now speaking more and more skillfully.

Jiang Yongkang was made red-faced.

Jiang Yongkang quickly turned over and dismounted, bowed respectfully to Mr. Lin, and said with a sincere expression: "Old Lin, I have long heard that you have arrived in Jinzhou Mansion. I should visit you earlier. We are destined to be here today. The encounter between mountains and rivers allows me to show my friendship as a landlord. "

Mr. Lin seemed to be very satisfied with Jiang Yongkang, "Easy to say, easy to say!"

Jiang Yongkang habitually observed the people brought by Xu Zhenying.

Many of them are new faces.

This also proves that Jinzhou Prefecture is developing rapidly.

The person riding in one of the carriages should be her secretary, the one with a dignified manner and a smile should be Zhou Houfang. The other girl is wearing a military uniform and has sharp eyes. You can tell at a glance that she is a member of the army. She should be Qu Min who was transferred from the military department.

And Zhou Houfang was also observing Jiang Yongkang.

She only saw him once from a distance at first, and she had to sigh in her heart: What a handsome young man.

He has the magnanimity of a noble family and the ruthlessness of a soldier.

Especially that face, it can be said to be extraordinary handsome.

She seemed to understand why the girls in Jinzhou Prefecture could not forget Minister Jiang Yongkang.

Jiang Yongkang can indeed bear the four words of being both civilized and military, talented and beautiful.

Several people nodded slightly and said hello.

Jiang Yongkang looked at Xu Zhenying again. He seemed to have many questions to ask, but he also knew that this was not a good place to talk, so he had to mount his horse again, "Your Highness, it will be dark soon. We are still about thirty miles away from the military camp. It’s better to hurry up and get to the military camp.”

"Okay, you lead the way."

The dozen or so people following Jiang Yongkang all looked excited.

There was even a soldier with a Chinese character who grabbed the person next to him and said, "Quickly pinch me and let me see if it is real or not. I actually saw His Highness King Zhao!"

The people around him took the opportunity to pinch him hard.

The soldier with the Chinese character's face screamed in pain, causing the escorts to burst into laughter.

That night, the entire Luzhou Camp was in an unprecedented sensation.

From the soldiers who set up roadblocks to the generals in the military camp, they all heard about the arrival of His Highness King Zhao early, and they all rushed to the gate of the camp, almost causing a stampede.

In the end, the leading people had to drive most of them back, and some of the fish that climbed to high places slipped through the net. When they were being driven back, the people who climbed the trees shouted excitedly to report the news: "It's coming! It's coming!" His Majesty King Zhao’s carriage has arrived!”
