Chapter 675
When talking about Mrs. Xu, Zhao Bing knew more about her husband. He came from a famous family, Dongshi Township, the Shidu, Jinyi, outside the south gate of Quanzhou Prefecture, Fujian. His ancestors were the nephew of Xu Yiran, the descendant of Xu Ji, the minister of the Ministry of War, during the reign of Emperor Dezong of Tang Dynasty. From Xu Ji to the Song Dynasty, his ancestors and uncles of all dynasties and ten dynasties were passed by the emperor. Xu Hanqing and his family members of the Xu family built a prefecture in Xuzhaixiang, their hometown, inherited their ancestral business and operated ocean shipping and became a local rich man. Because of their wealth and power, they were also known as "Xu Baiwan" by the locals.
However, Zhao Bing was all told, and he had a relationship with him. That day was the first day he traveled through time, and the next day after the bloody night in Quanzhou. At that time, Emperor Jingyan was protected by Zhang Shijie, from the east gate of Quanzhou, from the water route through the Fengjiang River to Weitouwan, and he and the queen mother fled to Xianian Village by land. At this critical moment of national security, Xu Hanqing and his wife quickly led the Ding of the Xu clan and the righteous soldiers came to serve the king and protect the young master.
Along the way, he fought with the Yuan army in Ku Tombpu, and fought to break through. Zhao Bing was able to escape from danger and met him in a hurry. He passed by Xu Xikeng and as planned, he and Zhang Shijie met at the Nanyue Temple in Tatou. Due to the sudden change in the situation, Zhang Shijie had already protected Emperor Jingyan to the Shuiying in Zhangzhou to go to Nan'an first. At this time, Pu Shougen led his troops to suppress Kemu Village. Xu Hanqing immediately sent someone to protect him and fled westward. He was responsible for the rear of the palace and organized his clan relatives and other Yi soldiers to fight with Pu Shougen in Kemu Village.
After a long period of fierce fighting between the two sides, Xu Hanqing retreated to the Dongshi Shejia Village and burned the surrender letter. He refused to surrender and beheaded the enemy envoy, rather than surrender, sacrificed his life to seek justice, and sacrificed his life to sacrifice his life to the country. Zhao Bing also set up a sacrifice in Jiazi Town, and his spiritual throne was his only consecrated. After he conquered Quanzhou, he sent people to find descendants of the Xu family. Only then did he realize that the Yuan soldiers implemented a strategy of suppressing the village and extermination. The rebel general Pu Shougen cooperated with the Yuan army to carry out a large-scale suppression of the Xu family in Quanzhou and the Xu family along the south of Quanzhou, burning the Dongshi Shejia Village, Xu's alley was flattened, and the mansion was turned into ashes. Those who killed the Xu family members, killed them, and fled to the mountains.
"You mean Mrs. Xu is Xu Hanqing's vain?" Zhao Bing asked in surprise after hearing Zheng Huchen's recommendation.
"That's right, but I don't know these, they still have a deep connection with our dynasty!" Zheng Huchen said.
"Tell me!" Zhao Bing said in surprise.
"Your Majesty, Mrs. Xu's family's surname is Chen. He is the daughter of Chen Wenlong, the political affairs officer before his martyrdom for the country!" Zheng Huchen said.
"This... is such a coincidence!" Zhao Bing stood up and stuttered when he heard this. This was too unexpected to him. He couldn't help but secretly scold Chen Dun, a bastard boy, for not knowing that he had something else to hide from him.
"This is what Your Majesty is..." Zheng Huchen hurriedly explained when he saw His Majesty's expression.
It turned out that Mrs. Xu's surname was Chen Shuzhen, and was from Putian, Fujian. She was recruited as a politician. She was the daughter of Chen Wenlong, a deputy to the government official. She married Xu Hanqing as his wife, so she was commonly known as "Mrs. Xu". During the Jingding period, she was ordered by Weng and Gu to move her family to Xuzhaixiang, the army of Renhe, Liaotou, Qingyuan, and was responsible for the transportation of grain and boating. In a few years, her husband, Xu Hanqing, had a million yuan in his family, and stood in Longjiang Ao, and released her ships and had many profits.
After Lin'an lost, the Yuan soldiers rushed south. Xu Hanqing and his wife spent all their wealth, recruited the Xu clan, organized the rebel army, and stepped up the training to prepare for the fight against the Yuan Dynasty. Zhang Shijie and Lu Xiufu fled south with the Emperor of Song, and Xu Hanqing drove to the ship to serve the king and sacrificed his life for Song. Later, Xinghua Army was attacked from both sides, and the defender, Chen Wenlong, was also captured and refused to be demoted. On the way to Lin'an, he sacrificed his life to the Yuewumu Temple.
Mrs. Xu, who was rushing to western Fujian, heard that her relatives had died one after another, further aroused her determination to resist the Yuan Dynasty. She continued to recruit rebel troops in southern Fujian, contacted the She chief, Empress Dowager Lan, and formed the 24-dong She soldiers together with the She leader Chen Dianyan, and the northern Fujian Zhenghe Huang Hua, and continued to resist the Yuan Dynasty. In July of the second year of Jingyan, she and her clan brother Chen Dianyan led the She Han rebel army to assist Zhang Shijie's troops to attack Pu Shougeng, a traitor who was entrenched in Quanzhou.
Then the Yuan army advanced to Qianwan, Guangdong. Zhang Shijie withdrew the siege of Quanzhou in order to protect Qianwan, and the rebel army suffered heavy losses. In the third year of Jingyan, Mrs. Xu took over the old subordinates and fought in Jianning, Zhenghe and other places in northern Fujian, and fought with the Toutuo army led by Huang Hua and others, and defeated the Yuan army repeatedly. Last year, Mrs. Xu and Chen Diaoyan led tens of thousands of She and Han uprising troops to capture Zhangzhou City and kill Kan Wenxing, the governor of the Wanhu Prefecture.
It is said that Mrs. Xu has been wearing men's clothing since she was a child. She usually likes to fencing and play iron balls. She has the technique of wearing willows and wind, and has learned Shaolin light skills. Once, she went hunting with Xu Hanqing in the mountains and accidentally got a male and female sword, which was bright and sharp. It is said that it was cast in the Zhou Dynasty and took about two thousand years. Mrs. Xu kept it secretly and showed it to others. Every night on the bright moon, it was easy to play in the courtyard, circling left and right, and flying up and down. The viewer sprinkled with beans and sprinkled with water and could not get close to her. The skill was great.
"I heard you say this, I remember that there were indeed people who used slingshots in the volunteers that day. He fired iron pills with bows. Those who were either killed or injured, but they didn't expect that the man was a woman!" Zhao Bing recalled the past, and was surprised to see the volunteers fired iron pills with bows and crossbows in that day.
"Your Majesty, don't underestimate those women. It is reported that Chen's sister Chen's eyes is also very good at kung fu. A long sword makes it superb, and even a few strong men are difficult to get close to you!" Zheng Huchen sighed when he saw the little emperor and said again.
"Oh, now it's a chaotic time, this woman is forced to shoot her sword and shoot!" Zhao Bing sighed and smiled bitterly.
"Your Majesty doesn't know that this She people are brave and aggressive, and they are martial, and they are all good at it." Zheng Huchen hurriedly explained, "Your Majesty, I heard that Mrs. Li from Daning Village has also put in a lot of effort..."
"Don't talk nonsense, do you mean that if I don't practice my kung fu well, I will be beaten up in the future!" Zhao Bing suddenly said angrily.
"Oh, hehe, your Majesty, don't bother me, I have no intention!" Zheng Huchen was stunned by the scolding, but suddenly realized his Majesty's heart disease, waved his hand and smiled.
"Talking about serious things!" Zhao Bing was just a little nervous. Modern girls like to practice taekwondo, karate and other things. They also used them to discipline their boyfriends while dealing with perverts. However, they did not expect that ancient women were so tough that they would be beaten even if they were not done well.
"I'm still laughing! Do you think Mrs. Xu can be used by us?" Seeing that he was still laughing, Zhao Bing stared and shouted.
"Report to Your Majesty, I think it's OK!" Zheng Huchen saw that the little emperor was annoyed and immediately stood up and polite.
"Tell me the reason!" Zhao Bing said in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty, one is Mrs. Xu, who was a loyal and kind descendant, was deeply favored by the emperor, and was no more than those common people; the other is that his father and husband died at the hands of the Tartars, his family was destroyed, and his clan members were separated. This hatred was irreconcilable, so he would never surrender to the Yuan Dynasty; the third is that his younger brother was still in court, so he could be a qualifier, so he did not have to worry about his rebellion." Zheng Huchen replied after a brief thought.
"Bastard, do you want to put me in a place of unkindness and justice?" Zhao Bing said after hearing this, slapped the book and said, and at this moment, a thunder broke out outside the house.
"Your Majesty, my subordinates are loyal, how could they control your Majesty injustice?" Zheng Huchen didn't know that it was a coincidence. He thought this was the thunderous anger of the saint, and said with a white face.
"All the old people in the General Manager's House know that Chen Dun and I are close to each other as brothers, but you want me to take it as a charity. Isn't this arguing for injustice?" Zhao Bing said unremittingly.
"Your Majesty, my subordinates only have His Majesty in their hearts, but the others don't care much. Besides, my subordinates' intention is just to imply that Chen Dun is favored by His Majesty in the court, let him know his kindness, and let him be afraid of the rat!" Zheng Huchen said again.
"Okay, you can speak, don't pretend to be wronged and show me!" Zhao Bing understood at first sight. This old boy was showing his loyalty to him, so as to show that he would not take anyone but himself to heart. As long as he was sacrificed for himself, he would not be angry anymore. He could only smile and let him sit down.
"Thank you for not blaming your grace!" Zheng Huchen said politely again, but he was also moved. Chen Dun said that he was a loyal minister, but in fact he was His Majesty's playmate. In this way, His Majesty would rather give up the important matter of recruiting the rebel army, and he would not lose to His Majesty's position in His Majesty's heart.
"To control the rebel army in Fujian, I think we can support Mrs. Xu, so that she can become the leader of the heroes and then master this force, and use it for the court. At least she must use it to restrain Chen Zhaoyan!" Zhao Bing returned to the preaching.
"Your Majesty's intention is to use a strategy of fighting and pulling to dismantle Chen's eyes and lose the threat to the court!" Zheng Huchen said.
"Yes, although Chen Dianyan had helped the court, his father died at the hands of the court and killed officials to rebel. Now he is a king, and if he is allowed to grow, he will not take the court seriously. If he is not wiped out by the Tartars, it will definitely become an obstacle to our march into Fujian. Huang Hua is too greedy, and this kind of person is not strong and cannot withstand temptation. At this time, he may obey the imperial edicts of the court, but as long as he has a slight setback or has thicker legs to hold, he will betray the court. Such a person who is swaying is not the best candidate, but will bring immeasurable losses to our restoration!"
"Mrs. Xu is a woman but she is not afraid of strong enemies. She can gather people to be a father. Her husband is revenge, which shows that she is firm in her heart. Her father, her husband, was once a court official, and she also spent millions of wealth to help the king. Her loyalty can be expressed. Therefore, although she is the weakest of the three ministries, she is the most loyal to the court!" Zhao Bing concluded after analyzing what she knows.
"Your Majesty said it is right, but Your Majesty also knows that Mrs. Xu is the weakest, so it is not easy to support her!" Zheng Huchen said with a frown.
"I believe you know the importance of money than me!" Zhao Bing said with a smile.
"Your Majesty wants to use money to bribe Mrs. Xu!" Zheng Huchen raised his eyebrows and said.
"How can we say it so unpleasant? We call it aiding the rebel army against the Yuan Dynasty!" Zhao Bing said with a little dissatisfaction.
"Yes, yes, we are helping!" Zheng Huchen slapped on his mouth, but he felt that although the meaning was the same, it was indeed much easier to accept after a change.
"The main source of income of Huang Hua's ministry now is to sell private salt, so we can reduce the supply to it and transfer most of the business to Mrs. Xu to enhance its economic strength!" Zhao Bing said.
"Your Majesty, Huang Hua is a salt man. He has been operating in northern Fujian for many years. Even if Mrs. Xu gets some business, she will probably find it difficult to compete with her!" Zheng Huchen said with some concern.
"You just said that the Xu family operates maritime trade, and it relies on Mrs. Xu's management to save millions of households over the years. Obviously, it is not a mediocre person. As long as we give priority to supply, the salt price can be further reduced if necessary, and even the military pay can be provided as free of charge as the court's military pay. I don't believe that Huang Hua will not be defeated!" Zhao Bing said with a smile.
"Well, with His Majesty's help and Mrs. Xu's shrewdness, Huang Hua could not curb her rise. However, his income from losing private salt gradually declined, and everyone betrayed his relatives and was forced to give way." Zheng Huchen nodded. He understood that no bandit could fight against the court. Even if you are a bandit with tens of thousands of troops, it would be difficult for you to beat the tightly organized government. "But my subordinates were worried that Huang Hua would find that his business was snatched away by Mrs. Xu, would he rush to fight. With Mrs. Xu's current strength is not his opponent."
"Your reminder is very good!" Zhao Bing thought for a while, "But we can lead the trouble east and blame others, let them fight against cranes and clams, and our fishermen benefit!"
"My subordinates... I am stupid, please let Your Majesty make it clear!" The little emperor's series of idioms stunned Zheng Huchen. Although he was also a Jinshi, he could not say that he could not understand the mystery, but he still could not understand the mystery. He said with a bitter face.
"Stupid!" Zhao Bing pointed out, "You think Chen Dianyan has also sold private salt, and his rebels are mostly local people, and they can still fight while farming, and plunder the prefectures and counties to maintain their strength, but their strength has increased sharply, with as many as 50,000 troops. It is difficult to maintain operation with those fields. It is difficult for those days, and the team will be difficult to lead. He watched Huang Hua continuously transport private salt from his territory to various places to make a fortune. How could he not have any ideas?"
"Your Majesty is right. There are not many people in the world who are not moved by watching the large amount of silver and money flowing through our eyes. The source of goods is in our hands, so they can not provide it to him on the grounds that they can make their own decisions. Therefore, if Chen Diaoyan wants to obtain salt, he can only rob Huang Hua's, which will trigger a conflict between the two sides and make him have no time to deal with Mrs. Xu." Zheng Huchen woke up.
"Chen Dianyan's life is still alive, and we will not rashly destroy the alliance. In this way, we can help them. In addition to reducing the supply of Huang Hua, we can also mobilize people to get rid of the black man and rob the goods on Chen Dianyan's territory. At that time, the yellow mud fell into the crotch, and it was either shit or shit!" Zhao Bing continued.
"Your Majesty, this is a scapegoat. The one who benefits from their fight is Mrs. Xu!" Zheng Huchen nodded, but he thought it was appropriate to kill someone with a knife.
"No, it's the court that benefits. Think about it, we can get tens of thousands of bravery by just using some salt. This transaction is a big profit!" Zhao Bing said proudly, but seeing that Zheng Huchen's face was not right, he asked again, "Master Zheng, do you think I am too bad?"
