Looking at the half-hidden woman holding a pipa in the portrait, Ye Mingsheng couldn't help but be attracted for a few seconds...
When Ye Mingsheng came to his senses, he was a little dissatisfied with Zhang Zhiwen, who wrote this memorial. In such a serious official document, he actually included such a portrait of himself. What was his intention?
With such doubts and dissatisfaction, Ye Mingsheng looked up the content of the last page of the memorial. According to Zhang Zhiwen, during the process of his reform, the vast majority of wealthy businessmen and bureaucrats chose a non-cooperative attitude, and even Some people adopted more extreme confrontational methods, but only the Yujing Wang family fully supported the reform and handed over 50% of the shares of the Yuchuntang company controlled by the family to Zhang Zhiwen.
In addition, the Wang family actively responded to the banner of relieving the victims, opened up the family's granary and handed over more than 100,000 shi of grain, and used the family's personal connections to call on more gentry and merchants to participate in the reform.
These actions of the Wang family also moved Zhang Zhiwen very much. For this reason, he also specially wrote to Ye Mingsheng to ask the Wang family to become the franchised dealer of Dadongsheng Company in Hebei, and to establish the Wang family as a model of cooperation between merchants and the Fengwu Army. Let more gentry and merchants see the benefits of cooperating with Fengwu Army and join the reforms promoted by Fengwu Army.
And the portrait Zhang Zhiwen attached to the memorial is exactly the portrait of the current head of the Wang family, Mrs. Wang Jiang!
Seeing this, Ye Mingsheng couldn't help but look at the portrait again. The skin was like cream, the eyes were like peach blossoms, and the eyebrows were full of charm. If the real person is the same as the portrait, it is indeed a mesmerizing beauty... ·······················
Thinking of this, Ye Mingsheng couldn't help but frown slightly, remembering the comments he had heard about Zhang Zhiwen before. Many people said about him that he was very capable. When he was the county magistrate in Liaoyang, in just a few years, he made a In the small county where people were starving, everyone could afford to eat, and this person was not greedy for money. When he was transferred to the Chief Secretary to be responsible for land inventory work, countless people wanted to give him money and beg him to be kind, but they were all rejected. He refused!
It is precisely because of this person's merits that Ye Mingsheng sent him to Jiyu and promoted him to be the deputy chief envoy. At the same time, it was also because Wang Ke, the current chief envoy of Jiyu, was just a stopgap measure. After completing the reform, Ye Mingsheng would kick him away, so Ye Mingsheng was also examining Zhang Zhiwen's ability and character to see if he could be the chief envoy of Hebei and the parent of millions of people in Hebei. ,
However, although Zhang Zhiwen is very capable and not greedy for money, he has a disgusting hobby, that is, he prefers women, and they are not ordinary beauties, but wives from good families, especially those with dignified manners. What makes him most unable to give up is
A businessman once redeemed Goulan's red cards and gave them to him, but he flatly rejected them. The reason was that he disliked these red cards. Although they were beautiful and charming, they were just a little bit of red lips and were tasted by thousands of people. He, Zhang Zhiwen, felt dirty.
When Zhang Zhiwen was serving as Chief Secretary, he cheated on his subordinate's wife. After Ye Mingsheng found out about this incident, although he cherished Zhang Zhiwen because he was a rare talent and couldn't bear to hide him, he also gave him a hard education. The cuckolded subordinate was given some compensation and transferred from the Chief Secretary························
With such a criminal record, Zhang Zhiwen mentioned the Wang Jiang family in the memorial this time. Could it be that he got involved with this Wang Jiang family and then used this opportunity to benefit the Wang Jiang family? Are the two engaging in power and sex deals together?
Thinking of this, Ye Mingsheng's expression became serious again, and he immediately ordered to Ye Cheng beside him:
"You can tell the Coordination Office later and ask them to compile a copy of the information on the Wang family and the Wang Jiang family and send it to me tomorrow!"
"yes!"
Ye Cheng instinctively responded to Ye Mingsheng's order, but when he heard Ye Mingsheng's words clearly, he hesitated and said to Ye Mingsheng:
"Sir, I know something about this Wang Jiang family! I met this Wang Jiang family more than a month ago!"
"Oh? Tell me about it?"
Ye Mingsheng was a little surprised when he heard that. As his attendant, Ye Cheng basically stayed by his side. How did he meet Wang Jiang who was far away in Jiyu?
After receiving Ye Mingsheng's order, Ye Cheng organized his speech and said:
"Sir, this Wang family was originally a prominent family in Yujing. They had hundreds of hectares of fertile land in Hebei and Henan and thousands of tenants. Fifty years ago, when Emperor Tai De was in power, there was even a six-book minister. And the Wang family who passed away last year The old man Wang Zhong also once served as the left minister of the Ministry of Industry. However, due to a case at the Ministry of Industry in the early years of Anhe, he was forced to retire early and return to his hometown... ·············”
"The current Wang Jiang family is the official wife of Wang Yingjie, Mr. Wang's only son. This daughter is the daughter of the clan, and she is very beautiful and charming. Because of this, there are rumors that Wang Yingjie died three years after marrying her. It was on her that she died of exhaustion!”
"One year after Wang Jiang and Wang Yingjie got married, they had a child, but it died before it was full term. However, Wang Yingjie's concubine gave birth to a son who was adopted by Wang Jiang. This is why after Mr. Wang passed away, Wang Jiang can become the person in charge of the Wang family!"
Hearing this, Ye Mingsheng couldn't help but become interested in the Wang Jiang family, so he took the initiative to ask Ye Cheng:
"How do you know so much about her? And how did you meet her?"
When Ye Mingsheng asked about this, Ye Cheng said without thinking:
"I'm telling you, your lord, the Wang family's Yuchuntang is in the jade business. Their jade is the best in all of Henan, and the ornaments are all exquisitely made. It happened that the old lady dreamed of a jade Buddha some time ago, so the eldest lady wanted to I wanted to buy one to help the old lady realize her dream. After Yuchuntang got the news, Wang Jiang personally came to Yijing with a jade Buddha and some jade jewelry bracelets, wanting to dedicate it to the old lady and all the ladies!"
"But the eldest lady did not agree. She bought the jade Buddha and jade jewelry at the market price. She gave the jade Buddha to the old lady and distributed the jade jewelry to the women in each room. I heard that the old lady was very fond of the jade Buddha. If you like it, you should worship it carefully every day!"
"It's because of this Jade Buddha that I met Mrs. Wang Jiang..."
At this point, Ye Cheng seemed to realize something, and his voice suddenly stopped, as if he was hesitating whether to continue speaking.
Seeing his hesitant look, Ye Mingsheng also looked at him. Seeing this, Ye Cheng was also in trouble, because the Su sisters were sent to Ye Mingsheng's arms through him, so there were some people in the Fengwu Army who He was very dissatisfied, thinking that he had induced Ye Mingsheng to indulge in women, which made him subject to a lot of criticism and was considered a traitor in the Fengwu Army.
So now when it came to the most critical moment, he still had some scruples, but feeling Ye Mingsheng's gaze, Ye Cheng still chose to tell the truth and said immediately:
"Although I have met this Mrs. Wang Jiang, she was wearing a veil when she met me. I couldn't see her true face clearly, but I could only feel the elegance and noble temperament in her gestures. It was so wonderful to be with her. Very pleasant and very comfortable!”
Listening to Ye Cheng's introduction, Ye Mingsheng's expression became playful, and he became more and more interested in this Wang Jiang family who has the bloodline of the Zhou royal family! ..
After pondering for a while, Ye Mingsheng asked:
"Is this Wang Jiang family still in Yijing?"
Ye Cheng shook his head and said:
"It seems that after selling the Jade Buddha to the family, Wang Jiang left with his servants, but their Yuchuntang should be opening a branch in Yijing... ·············”
Ye Mingsheng nodded slightly and said:
"Let the Coordination Office come up with a report as soon as possible!"
"clear!"
··································
··································
Chengfeng County, Zhennan Army Camp
Xu Zhaojie looked at the sand table in front of him attentively, while his personal attendant Liu Chaohu beside him reported the battle to him from the front line.
"Sir, three thousand cavalry from the enemy's First Army Cavalry Battalion originally stationed in Fengqiu made a surprise attack on Huai'en County. Our army suffered a lot of casualties. However, Huai'en County is still in the hands of our army. However, the enemy's cavalry did not attack Huai'en County. In love with the war, they followed the southern road towards Huaiyuan County and killed them!"
Following Liu Chaohu's narration, the soldiers on the side quickly rearranged the sand table. Looking at the position of the Fengwu Army's three thousand cavalry on the map, Xu Zhaojie said lightly with a look of appreciation on his face:
"Back then, I didn't even know that there was a person like Yuan Song in the Forbidden Army. Now it seems that this person has some courage and actually wants to take the initiative to attack before our army is fully assembled!"
Listening to what Xu Zhaojie said, Liu Chaohu nodded and said with some worry:
"Yuan Song seems to be aiming at the lack of cavalry in our army and poor mobility, so he wants to use the rapid movement of cavalry to disrupt our army's deployment. If our army lets it go, this Fengwu cavalry is very likely to They will follow the road of Huaiyuan County and fight directly to Anqing City to scare our army!"
Xu Zhaojie also fell into thinking. These three thousand cavalry were not too much or too little. If these cavalry were really allowed to attack Anqing City, although the actual impact on Anqing City would be very limited, in terms of politics and In terms of military morale, it was a major blow to the Zhennan Army, which would make the people and gentry doubt whether the Zhennan Army could hold Anqing... ····
The most terrible thing is the threat that this group of cavalry poses to the frontline food road. Once the food road is cut off by this Fengwu Army cavalry, the situation will become very bad.
Therefore, he must not leave this group of cavalry alone. He must destroy them or drive them out of Anqing. If the Zhennan Army, which lacks cavalry, wants to achieve this goal, there is only one way left, and that is to mobilize a large number of infantry. To block and intercept, this will inevitably require giving up the previous offensive deployment against Jiyu!
And this is undoubtedly what Yuan Song wants to see. Xu Zhaojie has no doubt that as long as his side retreats, Yuan Song will lead his troops out of Fengqiu and go straight to Anqing, placing the battlefield in Anqing to fight with him. To break his offensive against Jiyu.
Realizing this, Xu Zhaojie also had a slight headache. Yuan Song's move was undoubtedly a conspiracy. No matter how he retreated or did not retreat, he fell into his calculation. As the saying goes, one wrong step will lead to the next wrong step. As long as this is the case now, If you make one wrong move, you will lose the initiative on the battlefield and end up exhausted and passively beaten!
But if Yuan Song thinks that he can control himself in this way, then he really underestimates himself, right?
Thinking of this, Xu Zhaojie asked Liu Chaohu:
"What's going on around the area and Yunbin?"
Faced with Xu Zhaojie's inquiry, Liu Chaohu organized some words and introduced:
"On the Qilu side, after we gave Yin Biao five Zhengdong cannons, Yin Biao also intensified his offensive on the Bohai Sea. According to reports from our spies in the Bohai Sea, Han Wenbao's men suffered heavy casualties. It should not take long for Yin Biao to conquer Bohai Sea································"
"As before, half of the soldiers and horses of Yuan Song's Sixth Division in Jiyu are guarding Yujing, and the other half are in various places in Hebei and Henan to quell the riots. The only one in front of us is the First Division of the Fengwu Army!"
"As for Yun Bing, according to the information sent two days ago, Shangguan Hongyuan sent another 50,000 troops to Yun. Now the total strength of the Jinyang Forbidden Army and the Liang Army exceeds 200,000. They are expected to follow the same pattern as before. Our army's agreement is to launch an attack from Dagu County to Jinzhong on the 20th of this month, that is, three days later!"
"And Ye Mingsheng also sent 50,000 people from his Third Army to Yunbin. According to our intelligence, the Fengwu Army currently in Yijing only has a newly formed 7th Division and 9th Division, a total of three Thousands of soldiers and horses!”
Regarding Liu Chaohu's narration, Xu Zhaojie silently calculated and asked:
"Where are Zhao Zhun and his 20,000 people now?"
"In reply to your lord, General Zhao's 20,000 soldiers and horses, the news sent last night is that they have passed Shouchun, and there are still about five to seven days before they can enter Anqing territory!"
Xu Zhaojie ordered with a serious look on his face:
"An order was sent to Zhao Zhun to lead his troops to Anqing within five days. In addition, our troops in Huai'en County, Huaiyuan County, and Xiaoqing Mountain were also mobilized. The Fengwu Army cavalry that came in surprise must be restrained. In the area formed by Anqing City, Huai'en, and Huaiyuan County!"
"yes·······················"
(Doing a little research, I have an idea, which is to arrange a time traveler for the protagonist’s harem. What do you think of this idea? Are you looking forward to this setting?)_&
