Han’s Son is Not a Slave

Zhou Shixiang had bandages on his legs and a fixed wooden board. He had been sitting there during the conversation. When he received the imperial decree just now, he also made a symbolic bow and was led by Gui Yongzhi. After sitting for a long time, Zhou Shixiang felt a little numb in his right leg, and wanted someone to help him up, but he was afraid that this would make Pan and Hong think that he was chasing guests, so he forced himself to bear it.

Pan Yinglong had nothing else to say here, but Hong Yuao had another business, which was about the Loyalty Camp.

Since he handed over Wuchang to Zhongzhen Camp, Zhou Shixiang did not intervene in the affairs of Hubei. Hubei was split from Huguang. Although it is not as good as Jiangsu and Zhejiang, it is also a land of fish and rice. It is rich in products. Since the mid-Ming Dynasty, there has been a saying that "Huguang is cooked and the world is full".

The population of Hubei is also much larger than that of Guangdong, Guangxi and Yunnan and Guizhou. It is conservatively estimated that the population should be more than 2 million. Hong Chengchou also deliberately governed Hubei when he was appointed as the manager of the five provinces. Therefore, the production and life of the main prefectures and counties in the territory are much restored than when the Qing army went south. Therefore, the loyalty camp can get Hubei to support soldiers, it is no less than a pie in the sky.

The Taiping Army's surrender of Hubei is also enough to prove Zhou Shi's friendliness and support for the Zhongzheng Camp. Even the Taiping Army currently stationed in Hunan also regularly supports the Zhongzheng Camp with a batch of money and grain every month. It can be said that as long as Li Laiheng, Yuan Zongdi, Hao Yao They don't make big mistakes. With time, the Loyalty Camp will be able to create a new world. You must know that Guangdong, the foundation of the Taiping Army, has a population of just over 1.5 million today (not counting the 70,000 hard labor in Annan).

"The sage has a lot of faith in the King of Xianyang, and Gu also has high hopes for the King of Xianyang and the soldiers of the loyal camp. If it wasn't for Jiangbei's military affairs, Gu would have gone to the King of Xianyang for a while. In the early years, when Da Minggu was in the new club, he was like thunder..."

Zhou Shixiang said with a smile that he knew that Hong Yuao would not mention Li Laiheng and the others for no reason. This Hong Da scholar is the spokesperson of Zhongzhenying and Yaohuang Thirteen in the Dingwu Dynasty, so he will not aim at nothing.

Sure enough, Hong Yu'ao really had intentions, but he hired the governor of Henan to wave the flag for Hao.

"Henan has been restored at the end of the period, is it too early to be the governor now?"

Zhou Shixiang promised Henan to go out without random, but it was not that he could not agree to this matter. Henan is the location of the Central Plains. In ancient times, it was said that those who had won the Central Plains had the world. But after 30 years of war, the Central Plains is a bit exaggerated to describe it as a thousand miles of red land, but it is a fact that there is no one inhabited in a hundred miles. Zhou Shixiang had no intention of seeking such a broken Central Plains.

"Hao Yaoqi and the others are fighting against the Qing army in the south of Henan. Now they have recovered three prefectures, one state and twenty-seven counties. The momentum is surging. If Henan can be recovered, I will be able to regain another province, which is of great significance. After a while, he said again: "This matter is also what the King of Xianyang and the others mean."

Hong Yuao apparently thought that if the governor of Henan was exchanged for Hao Yaoqi and they restored Henan for the Dingwu court, it would definitely be cost-effective for the court, and it would also be beneficial to Zhou Shixiang. to reduce the pressure on Jiang Zhun's Taiping army. In the future, the Northern Expedition can be carried out again, and the two armies can also advance together, and have a greater grasp of success. The purpose of moving out Li Laiheng is nothing more than to remind the Zhongzheng camp that the upper and lower ranks are integrated, and that it is not only the intention of Hao Yaoqi to ask the governor of Henan, but also the intention of others.

Pan Yinglong opened his mouth and said that the Holy Master was also pleased that the soldiers of the Loyalty Camp had recovered Henan.

Zhou Shixiang glanced at Pan Yinglong when he heard the words, and the latter smiled lightly. Zhou Shixiang was noncommittal. At this time, Gui Yongzhi, who had been standing there, suddenly said: "I heard that King Han is in the army of Hao Yaoqi. I wonder if Lord Hong can write to General Hao and have someone **** King Han to Nandu to settle down, so that the prince of the royal family will not be outside Dianpei."

"This?...."

Hong Yuao hesitated for a moment and agreed. He knew in his heart that this was probably an exchange. Zhou Shixiang could give the governor of Henan, but Hao Yaoqi could no longer hide Prince Daming.

In the light of the fact that Zhongzheng Camp is a friendly army after all, and can indeed share the pressure of the Taiping Army, Zhou Shixiang agreed to this, and asked some more about the battle situation of Zhongzheng Camp in Henan. At the mountain gate, blind Li took someone to pick him up.

"Since Your Highness is here, I will go to meet His Highness."

Zhou Shixiang got up and went to see the princess. Although he was the king of Qi, he was a prince with a different surname, but the princess was the princess of Zhu family. Fan's only bloodline is his wife, Zhou Shixiang, who has never been there, so it is reasonable for Zhou Shixiang to wait for his daughter-in-law to take the initiative to see him. It's just that his legs and feet are inconvenient, so Pan Yinglong dissuaded him, but Zhou Shixiang insisted on welcoming him, saying that he was a minister after all and should not be rude.

Pan Yinglong couldn't persuade him, so he could only go with Hong Yutong to meet him. When Gui Yongzhi pulled Zhou Shixiang to get up, he was instructed in a low voice to ask the Ministry of Military Intelligence to investigate the connection between the palace and the outside world. Gui Yongzhi froze and retreated quietly.

Zhou Shixiang had bad legs and walked slowly. Pan Hong and the two were not in a hurry. They walked all the way and talked about Nandu all the way. Soon, the three of them came to the outside of the mountain gate, and when they stepped out of the mountain gate, Zhou Shixiang saw a woman in a palace dress, supported by a maid, quietly looking at the Yangtze River to the north.

Seeing the arrival of the commander, the smiling blind man Li was busy stepping forward to report to the princess. Zhou Shixiang saw the princess looking at the Yangtze River fascinated, and waved to the blind man Li not to move. He thought for a while, and stepped forward lightly, thinking in his heart how to say the first sentence of his daughter-in-law, and how this daughter-in-law looks like, I hope he doesn't scare himself. UU reading www.uukanshu. However, seeing the silhouette of the princess is still dignified, and her appearance and figure are considered to be Zhou, and I am gradually satisfied. As the saying goes, one white hides three ugliness, and this person's figure is also the same. Not fat or fat, and the face is not too bad. From a distance, seeing a chubby or short woman standing quietly facing the Yangtze River, Zhou Shixiang would definitely be depressed. If he really was dumb eating yellow lotus, he couldn't tell the pain.

Seeing this, Hong Yuao and Pan Yinglong glanced at each other, but did not follow, only smiled and watched Zhou Shixiang lightly step forward.

"Should I call Her Highness or her name Shuyi, or should I call her Miss Zhu?"

Zhou Shixiang only felt that his heart was beating fast and his breathing was a little short. When he was in a dilemma about how to address each other, he heard the princess say a word to the maid beside him.

"The waters of the Yangtze River are rolling in the east, and the waves have washed away the heroes. The success or failure is turned into nothing, the green mountains are still there, and the sunset is red several times. The white-haired fisherman is on the river, and he is used to watching the autumn moon and the spring breeze. A pot of turbid wine is happy to meet ancient and modern times. It's all a joke."

The billowing water in the east of the Yangtze River is very familiar to Zhou Shixiang. Isn't this the opening song of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in the previous life? At that time, I stood there: Could it be that this princess also came from time to time?
