Just as Qiu Yuanwai and the others had expected, the current Ye Zhong would definitely not dare to bring the matter to the Emperor Chongzhen, even if he wanted to compare his relationship with the officialdom, Ye Zhong would kneel down to the princes and princes.As for using force to snatch back the private iron ore?It's better not to stuff minced meat into the tiger's mouth.

Now there is only one way left, which is to rely on the organization to find the eunuch union.

But at that time, even though Ye Zhong followed Wang Chengen's door, the relationship between the two of them was twisted and twisted, and there was no direct relationship.It was entirely because Ye Zhong sent the most money at that time that he got the fat job of mine supervisor.

But it doesn't matter.If there is no way, then use silver to open the way.Ye Zhong took out more than half of the remaining family property, prepared a generous gift and sent it to Wang Chengen along with a letter of plea for help.

But after Wang Chengen got the letter, he was immediately confused.It doesn't make sense, does it?Wang Chengen knew that those noble families would never touch Nanyang Iron Mine, not even the nominally abandoned mine.Because this is the emperor's property after all, if the emperor finds out, it would be a big taboo!

Besides, Wang Chengen is also quite friendly with those nobles.Especially Xue Lian, Marquis of Yangwu, would prepare a generous gift and send it to Wang Chengen's mansion whenever there were festivals.

Because Xue Lian still has a big request for Wang Chengen.That's what the little friend Xue Chenglin canonized as his son.

At that time, Xue Lian recruited Wu Shigong, and later had a grandson Xue Chenglin very smoothly.If Emperor Tianqi does not die and Wei Zhongxian does not step down, then Xue Chenglin will easily get the canonization of the son.

But later it was Emperor Chongzhen who came to the throne.And Emperor Chongzhen didn't want to see Xue Lian, so when Xue Lian asked the emperor to canonize Xue Chenglin as his son, after Xue Lian presented it, Emperor Chongzhen kept him on the grounds that "there was no such precedent".

In the Ming Dynasty, different from ordinary families, the princes, princes, princes and other royal families and the heirs of the Xungui family all wanted to be canonized by the emperor.It cannot be specified by itself.

Of course, those who can be the eldest son basically follow the rules of the eldest son, and the canonization of the emperor is just a formality.However, if the emperor is not satisfied with the candidate for the son, he can also appoint another candidate for the son.

Take Xue Chenglin as an example.According to the inheritance rules of the Ming Dynasty, the son-in-law gave birth to a son to be the head of the family and his grandson.Therefore, according to the rules, Xue Chenglin is now Xue Lian's eldest grandson.Although there are not many such special cases, Xue Chenglin is indeed the first candidate for the son of Marquis Yangwu.

But for so many years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there has never been a single incident of nobles and nobles recruiting relatives.So Emperor Chongzhen stayed in China for that unprecedented reason.It also makes sense.

Besides, Emperor Chongzhen could also let Xue Lian's eldest nephew inherit the title, which makes sense.Who told Emperor Chongzhen not to wait to see Xue Lian?Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen's stay in China still saved Xue Lian some face.

But Xue Lian is in a hurry!He watched his lovely grandson grow up day by day, but it was a long time before he could get the canonization.She was afraid that her plan would become the moon in the mirror, which became Xue Lian's heart disease.

And now all hope of doing it.Xue Lian pinned on Wang Chengen.The reason why it hasn't been done yet.It's not that Wang Cheng'en doesn't help.

Emperor Chongzhen's character was a bit headstrong.If Wang Chengen just put it up so straight, it is very likely that Wang Chengen himself will be trapped.Then Wang Chengen definitely wouldn't do that.If the Emperor Chongzhen was in a bad mood again and changed the candidate for the heir, it's no joke, then Xue Lian would probably have the heart to jump into the river.

Therefore, now offend the inner court for some yellow and white things.Isn't Xue Lian insane?

But guessing is still guessing after all, just to be on the safe side, Wang Chengen still sent people to the British Duke's Mansion and Yangwuhou's Mansion to ask.

After hearing the news, Duke Ying and Marquis Xue Lian of Yangwu were shocked.They all swore that they never thought of Nanyang Iron Mine.If something happened on that side.That must be the personal behavior of Wu Shigong and Li Lu.For this reason, Yinggong and Xue Lian both made up a gift and sent it to Wang Chengen's residence to express their apologies.

Especially Xue Lian was so angry!At that time, I saw that my son-in-law was still honest, so I recruited him.But after so many years, Xue Lian wiped his son-in-law's buttocks so much that it was so troublesome that he was about to become a son-in-law's special toilet paper.

Then, Ying Gong and Xue Lian immediately wrote to Henan, ordering Li Lu and Wu Shigong to withdraw from Nanyang Iron Mine immediately.Of course, Xue Lian also knew that Wu Shigong was now fighting in Shandong, and his letter was addressed to Xue Yongli.

This matter also came to an end, and Wang Chengen thought it was over.But unexpectedly, Li Lu wrote back from Nanyang and said: Wu Shigong lent this army to Li Lu to protect their original private iron mines, and Li Lu did not have the power to order this army.

But Xue Yongli replied: Although Wu Shigong lent this army to Li Lu, only my uncle can command this army because the uncle controls the army very strictly.Therefore, if you want to withdraw your troops, you have to wait until my uncle returns from fighting in Shandong.

This is why Li Lu and Xue Yongli have Xiao Jiujiu in their hearts and have established an offensive and defensive alliance.They just want to delay things as long as possible.But Ying Gong and Xue Lian, who received the reply, could not rush to Henan to check the real situation, so they had no choice but to believe the words in the reply, and told Wang Chengen the content of the reply.

But for Wang Chengen, this matter is actually a trivial matter.The reason why he wanted to ask about this matter was nothing more than to show Ye Zhong the concern of the eunuch union.

Now that the result has been obtained, it is to give Ye Zhong an explanation.Anyway, Ye Zhong didn't dare to lose a penny for his filial piety, so what would happen to Ye Zhong?The relationship between Wang Chengen and him has not yet reached that point.

So Wang Chengen took care of British Duke and Xue Yongli, and asked them to tell Wu Shigong: After Wu Shigong returned from fighting in Shandong, let him immediately order the army to withdraw from Nanyang Iron Mine.

After that, Wang Chengen put the matter behind him.And Ye Zhong, who got the response, was looking forward to the stars and the moon in Nanyang, looking forward to Wu Shigong's early return!

After more than three months of construction, Wu Shigong and Liu Zeqing's front camp has built an earthen city.Now, Wu Shigong and Liu Zeqing are leading a group of military officers from the front battalion to patrol the Tucheng wall.

"Brother Changjing! There has been no movement for more than three months, and the bodies of the sons are almost rusted. It is better that you, the Runing Camp, have prepared enough, and even brought the single clothes. When my son left home, he would He was still wearing cotton jackets. It was a hot day, so he had to borrow some from the people nearby. But they were all dressed like beggars. But this is not enough, look, those boys are still shirtless." Liu Zeqing laughed said.

"That's right. The hole thief is too weak. In the first month, they often sent spies across the Shahe River. But in the past two months, they refused to come across the Shahe River. It's still really disappointing!" "

"That's because your spies are too ruthless. Come one to kill one, come two to kill one pair. In this military record, it is Chang Jing who turned in the most heads. You are afraid of killing the hole thief."

"What's the use of that? One general is incompetent and affects the whole army. The governor only knows how to caress, caress, caress! In the end, he was tricked by Kong Thief. At the beginning, with our morale, Forcibly rushing across the Shahe River. Not to mention defeating the Kong bandits. At least they were able to repel the Kong bandits and break the siege of Laizhou City. But now? I heard that the other roads were all surrendered by the Kong bandits. We were defeated. And our morale also dropped. If Laizhou City was not still nailed there, the bandits Kong would have come here long ago.”

"I'll tell you some news." Liu Zeqing said mysteriously, "I heard that the imperial court is already dissatisfied with our Governor. There will be a change of commander in two days."

"Change in command?" Wu Shigong raised his eyebrows, "Aren't you a civil servant again? I guess the level of leading the army is about the same as the current governor."

"It's different this time. I heard that the new commander-in-chief brought reinforcements. Among them are cavalry from Liaodong."

Wu Shigong suddenly laughed: "I really didn't expect that! Brother, I was going to Liaodong to rescue them. I didn't expect them to come to rescue us now. Sigh——! I hope their arrival can open up the situation. I I have been out for more than half a year, I really want to go home earlier!"

"What? Missing my siblings?" Liu Zeqing teased, "I really want to vent my anger, brother, I'll send you a few."

"I don't want those women you got in a mess." When it comes to silly jokes, every man is excited.

"How can it be. They all came here voluntarily. Alas——! The Kong thief has beaten Denglai to a disability. The people there are all displaced. The girl's family can't survive, so you have to do this. You Don't worry, the few I gave you are all daughters of rich families, and they haven't been touched yet. If you don't believe me, go and see Daying. The surroundings of Daying are full of brothels. I can't see it. Let's go down."

"Still not. It's not good for Erlang in the army to see. When will you find some free time and go out to the camp with brother Hezhou to be cool. But brother Hezhou, your tone is wrong today? When did you become so worried about the country? Are you a civil servant?" Wu Shigong also made fun of Liu Zeqing.

Unexpectedly, Liu Zeqing had a serious face: "Brother, I am also from Shandong. Seeing the local folks like this, I still feel uncomfortable!"

At this moment, a messenger rushed over from the camp, and when he saw Wu Shigong and other military officers, he immediately half-knelt and said: "Report——! Your Excellency has an order. Tomorrow, the new Governor of Shandong Province will arrive, so that the military officers above the garrison in the army , went to the military tent in the big camp to listen to the training at Maoshi. There must be no mistakes!" (To be continued..)
