Emperor Ming Dynasty

Chapter 177 Interest Relationship
It was already halfway through the night, the waning moon was fading away, Cicadas shouted more and more happily, and the heat wave was rolling in. Even with the ice basin, Zhu Yixi was still hot and bored.

Lying on the bamboo mat in the courtyard, he secretly calculated the harvest of this trip in his heart.

Soldiers, money, prestige, territory, and so on.

Sichuan and Hanzhong are connected as one, and they can be attacked when they advance, and they can be defended when they retreat.

For Li Zicheng, he was his obstacle, so he had to be careful.

"Master, is it cooler?" Sun Xuan'er was holding a fan and sitting sideways, fanning the air-conditioning on the ice cubes.

The elastic thighs were cold, and Zhu Yixi couldn't help absorbing the coolness, and snorted comfortably: "Not bad."

Knowing that His Highness was particularly fond of her long legs, Sun Xuan'er couldn't help leaning closer, her curvy figure made people linger.

Zhu Yixi couldn't help getting closer.

After a while, Sun Xuan'er's face became more and more red, her eyes were watery, and the passion inside was almost overflowing.

"Your Highness—"

At this time, a girl came over.

She has a baby face, an exquisite and graceful figure, and her beautiful eyes are full of care.

Mature and pure coexist, which is particularly conspicuous.

"What?" Zhu Yixi looked up, and immediately focused on the burden on his chest, and then took aim at the delicate little face.

Ninety body, ninety face, this is not a one plus one relationship.

"It will be the Mid-Autumn Festival in two days. I made mooncakes for you and my sister to try."

As he spoke, he walked up cautiously, bowed to the two of them, and then looked at them with expectant, grape-like eyes.

Sun Xuan'er was quite dissatisfied with the interrupted two-person world, but she felt happy in her heart because they had a sister for each other.

"Really?" Zhu Yixi looked at the golden moon cake, a little moved.

Looking up, the moon that gradually dissipated in the sky was indeed much rounder.

Before you know it, the Mid-Autumn Festival is almost here.

Thinking about it, Zhu Yixi looked at the two beauties and couldn't help saying: "You came at the right time, come here!"

Looking at the scared girl, Zhu Yixi said kindly.

Huang Jie'er twisted her handkerchief, seeing Sun Xuan'er and King Hanyang approaching, she walked over step by step with white teeth, and approached the other side.

Seeing her timidity and shyness, Zhu Yixi smiled, hugged her waist, threw a big arc in front of her chest, and instantly hit the ball into her arms.

And he saw that the other side was quite spacious, so he patted Sun Xuan'er's thigh.

The latter opened his red lips lightly and wanted to say a few words, but his long legs fell down involuntarily and fell into his arms.

Hugging left and right, the blessing of Qi people, Zhu Yixi suddenly felt that it was not hot anymore.

Sun Xuan'er squeezed forward, resting her head on her chest in dissatisfaction, wrinkling her nose slightly, looking at the shy Huang Jie'er, swearing her sovereignty.

Huang Jie'er noticed his eyes, and couldn't help shrinking back, blushing, and didn't dare to look up.

Zhu Yixi noticed the girl's retreat and patted her buttocks: "If you go further, you will fall."

"At this time, it is the best."

Zhu Yixi sighed, feeling inexplicably happier.

From the beginning of survival, to escape, until now it is enough to protect itself.

The scene of carelessness is gone forever, and the enthusiasm for power in the chest bursts out again.

Man Qing is really coming.

……

Since the soldiers and horses swelled to [-], plus more than [-] captives, the withdrawal from Chengdu was carried out step by step.

Flowing upstream into Sichuan, the river is fierce, and once you take a boat down the river, you can reach Jingzhou in a few days.

Although it is not enough to return to Jiangling in one day, it is enough to wait for three or four days.

Until then, Zhu Yixi once again noticed the importance of the navy, so he gathered hundreds of shipbuilders and went to Huguang together.

Similarly, how could he forget other craftsmen who started his business as a craftsman?Regardless of Sanqi 21, just take it away.

Sichuan generals such as Yang Zhan, Zeng Ying, Cao Xun, and Wang Xiang also accompanied them.

Among them, Zeng Ying was the most important, and the Mingying camp under his jurisdiction was expanded to five thousand, and the rest of the generals were only three thousand, and they did not have a camp number.

It is heard that the King of Hanyang will report to the imperial court and promote him to be the commander-in-chief, which arouses the envy of everyone.

Among the generals in Chuan, he is faintly headed by him.

Wang Xiang was not convinced, looking at Zeng Ying's background, quite jealous.

Poor him, he stayed in the Zunyi mansion well, but he was called to Chengdu and became the general of King Hanyang.

So, he found his former owner, the current governor of Sichuan, Wang Yingxiong.

Wang Yingxiong's complexion changed when he heard this, and he sighed: "Your Highness is worried about me!"

After speaking, he raised his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Since the King of Hanyang thinks highly of you, he must go to Huguang."

"But--"

Wang Xiang wanted to speak again, but was interrupted by Wang Yingxiong:

"Ruiwu, this time is not that time, the king of Hanyang is powerful, who dares not follow in Sichuan? Has Zhang Xianzhong been driven away?"

Seeing this, he responded indignantly, with a hint of joy in his heart.

Who wants to be a slave to the old master who can follow the famous King of Hanyang?If he didn't want to leave a way out, how could he come here.

Walking out of the mansion happily in his heart, Wang Xiang smiled and said, "I've been staying in that ghostly place in Zunyi for more than ten years, and I'm already tired of staying there. It's finally my turn to show my talents."

"Zeng Ying can be the chief soldier, why can't I?"

Thinking of this, he couldn't help grinning.

At this time, His Royal Highness the King of Hanyang, who was loyal to Daming, sat on a boat to meet the two of them.

One of the literati was recommended by the King of Hanyang, the new prefect of Chengdu, who once participated in politics in Eastern Sichuan, Liu Linchang.

As a Jinshi in the 47th year of Wanli, Liu Linchang offended the eunuch party because of his uprightness, and cooperated with Zeng Ying to guard Fuzhou and Wangjiang Pass, brave and resourceful.

And Zhu Yixi valued his selflessness and integrity the most, so he was appointed as the chief envoy of Sichuan, so as to hold back Wang Yingxiong.

Eastern Chuandong participated in politics, and he was originally under the command of the chief minister, and he was regarded as a deputy envoy. From the third rank, it was logical to be the chief minister.

The governor is in charge of military affairs, and the chief envoy is in charge of civil affairs.

As for his lack of power to order officials?
Hehe, to express to the court, thousands of miles away, can you still object?
Even if it is re-appointed and dismissed, the imperial edict cannot pass Xiangyang.

"Liu Fantai, Sichuan is entrusted to you."

Zhu Yixi said solemnly.

"Your Highness, please rest assured that I will not disappoint your expectations."

Liu Linchang cheered up.

Participating in politics to chief executive, this step is really important.

In Sichuan, the King of Hanyang at this time represented the imperial court.

After Liu Changlin left, Zhu Yixi took a serious look at Zeng Ying's long beard, and couldn't help laughing, "You're all on par with Guan Gong!"

"Hey, Your Highness, I still can't hide some of the last general's thoughts from you."

Zeng Ying hurriedly apologized with a smile.

He was afraid that King Hanyang would be jealous.

Zhu Yixi was noncommittal, and then said softly: "Your appointment as commander-in-chief must be coming soon."

"Zeng Ying, I wonder if you are interested in Hanzhong?"

"Wherever Your Highness tells me to go, I will go there!"

Zeng Ying patted her chest and said.

"Okay!" Zhu Yixi liked such an upright general more and more, he said loudly:

"You will replace Zhu Meng from Dasan Pass, and sit in Hanzhong to resist the intruders. You must not take it lightly."

"Don't worry, when it's time to kill the thieves, we will not stop. If it's not the right time, we won't take an inch."

Zeng Yinghao said angrily.

After the two left, it was Shaanxi merchants.

After Zhu Yixi entered Sichuan, Shaanxi merchants also entered the salt industry in an instant, and the salt wells in Fushun County (Zigong) were fully revitalized.

As a result, following the Grain Industry Association, the Salt Industry Association was successfully established.

According to preliminary estimates, the monthly salt production can reach 200,000 shi.
