Chapter 702

After capturing Qiantang, Yunqing personally led people into the governor's mansion. In front of the Governor's Mansion, there are two majestic stone lions guarding it, and three vermilion beast gates. A magnificent plaque is hung on the gate. On the plaque, the five characters of "Governor's Mansion in the South of the Yangtze River" are smudged in the sunlight.

The layout of the house is similar to that of Prince Pingxi's Mansion, but here it is more exquisite, and it is equipped with a large number of plaques, through stacking mountains and rivers, planting flowers and trees, configuring garden buildings, and using a large number of plaques, couplets, calligraphy and painting, carvings, and steles. The May Day inscription is not a famous artist in the world.

Du Zheng said to Yun Qing: "Before, I always said that Lao Feng's house is very exquisite. Compared with this, Lao Feng's house is not enough." Every courtyard in this house is different and has its own characteristics. sè.

Yun Qing didn't have much interest in what the house looked like, no matter how big the house was, no matter how many rooms there were, he could only sleep in one bed. Yun Qing said: "Look what's left here?"

The soldiers searched, but did not find much valuable things. Yunqing was not surprised by this, Yu Baojia ran so calmly, he must have taken all the valuables away.

Seeing that Yunqing was leading the troops to leave, Du Zheng asked in surprise: "My lord, don't we live here?" It's a pity that such a good house can't live here.

Yun Qing said: "Go back to the barracks." No matter how sophisticated and wealthy he is, he is unwilling to live in this house.

Seeing this, Du Zheng could only follow him out, even though he felt very reluctant.

On the one hand, Yunqing wanted to stabilize the situation in Qiantang, and on the other hand, he sent troops to subdue the surrounding counties, so the next days would not be easy. Fortunately, these Yunqings are already very proficient, so they are not too busy**.

In six days, except for the surrendered officials and generals approved by Yunqing, other officials and wealthy households were confiscated. Among them, Yu's family alone copied millions of gold and silver.

If it was in other cities, everyone would be very happy to get so many spoils. It's a pity that this time, Du Zheng said with a gloomy face: "My lord, the things confiscated here are only half of those in Jinling." Since the dispatch of troops to the present, Jinling has collected the most loot.

Yun Qing said: "Half is already good." In the past few days, Du Zheng mainly ransacked his home to collect the loot, while Yun Qing mainly stabilized the situation.

Du Zheng was very dissatisfied, and said, "I don't know if Qiu Qian has caught up with Yu Baojia? It's been so many days, and there is no news at all." Qiu Ye is the general soldier of Fujian, and he certainly cannot lead his own troops to intercept him. Yu Baojia. This time it was Qiu Ye's confidant general Qiu Qian who led the troops.

Yun Qing said: "We can only wait for the news." These days, Qiantang is sunny every day, but he doesn't know what's going on at sea.

Du Zheng knew that they had no choice but to wait now, so he said, "My lord, we also need to have our own navy." Otherwise, we will have to rely on others when we encounter such a thing. This feeling is very uncomfortable.

Yun Qing glanced at Du Zheng, and said two words: "No money." The navy is no different from the army, the navy must first have ships. It is conceivable how expensive it is to carry a ship with hundreds of people. Not to mention, it is necessary to equip the soldiers with weapons. The Northwest is now short of money, and the gold and silver seized this time is only enough to fill the loopholes. And even if he had money, he had to destroy Beiyao first. As for the navy, build it if you have the money.

Du Zheng also knew that the good days of the soldiers in the army were all thanks to Yunqing and Yuxi's frugality.

Yun Qing felt that there was no need to continue this topic, so he changed the topic: "Pack up these trophies and send them back to Pickaxe City?" The captured trophies, except for keeping a part of gold and silver for expenses, the rest were packaged and sent back to Pickaxe City. city.

Du Zheng nodded and said, "Okay." The spoils confiscated by Jinling should have already arrived in Pickaxe City.

Yun Qing thought for a while, and chatted with Du Zheng about the daily life: "Did you not write home recently?"

Du Zheng asked nervously: "What's the matter? Is something wrong with my family?" You must know that Yunqing never asked about the housework of his subordinates,

Now I suddenly asked if there was an accident out of ten.

Yun Qing shook his head and said: "No, Ah Hao said that you haven't written back for a long time, your wife and Ah Shao are very worried." This is what Brother Hao mentioned in his letter to Yun Qing.

Du Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, he thought it was an accident at home: "I've been busy recently, so I don't have time to write a letter back." To be exact, he hasn't written a letter from home since he dispatched troops.

Yun Qing was very dissatisfied with this attitude: "No matter how busy you are, you don't even have time to write letters. There are often battle reports ahead to send back, otherwise you would have to worry your wife and children to death." Write a letter home in two days. Of course, Yunqing's situation was special, his family letters were all sent back to Pickaxe City along with the battle report.

In fact, Du Zheng regretted what he said just now. No matter how busy he is, he can be busier than the prince. Du Zheng accepted Yun Qing's criticism humbly: "I'll write it when I get back."

It was also on this day that Qiuqian finally caught up with Yu Baojia's fleet. The guard hurried over and said outside the cabin: "Qi Ye, it's not good, there are enemies coming."

Yu Baojia's face changed slightly, and he said, "It came so fast." He also got the news that Han Yuxi sent someone to persuade Qiu Ye to send troops, and he was worried that if the time dragged on, nothing would be able to keep him, so he would be on the day of Yunqing's siege. Abandon the city and flee.

Yu Chunhao didn't speak, he didn't even know how to fight land battles, let alone sea battles.

When Yu Chunhao heard that Yu Baojia was about to abandon the fleet and flee, he was a little reluctant: "If we flee now, the morale of the army will definitely be lost. Judging from the current situation, Qiu Ye will return to Yunqing sooner or later. Why not take advantage of this to weaken the strength of their navy."

Yu Baojia shook his head and said: "We don't know how many people they have come? If they have more people than us, we will definitely lose." The combat power is not as good as others, and if the number is smaller than them, we will definitely be defeated. At that time, if you want to escape I can't escape.

Yu Chunhao thought that if they abandoned the ship and fled, Yan Wushuang might not be ashamed if they reached the capital.

Yu Baojia said: "I don't want to die without a place to die. We have done what Yan Wushuang said, and now that we leave the fleet, he will have nothing to say when he arrives in the capital."

Yu Chunhao was silent, because he knew it would be useless to say more. For a person who is afraid of death, wouldn't it be ridiculous for you to let him go all out.

Although Yu Baojia and Yu Chunhao escaped, the generals of the navy still stuck to their duties and fought Qiuqian for a long time. Although it was only half a day, it also gave Yu Baojia enough time to escape.

Qiu Qian had always known that the Jiangnan sailors were weak, but he never expected to be so weak. More than 10,000 people were defeated after only fighting for half a day, what a bunch of trash.

It was night, but the ship was as bright as day. The subordinate came over with an ugly face and reported: "General, these twenty or so ships are all antique calligraphy, painting, porcelain and jewelry, as well as leather and medicinal materials, but no gold or silver." Transport tens of millions of gold and silver to the capital. But now, not a single ingot of silver was seen.

Hearing the subordinate's reply, Qiu Qian cursed a few words, and then told the subordinate: "Set sail and go back."

The subordinate said: "General, those gold and silver treasures must be ahead, as long as we catch up to them, these treasures will be ours!" Unexpectedly, it turned out to be such a result.

Qiu Qian said: "What do you talk so much nonsense, return to the voyage." He is also greedy for so many gold and silver treasures. But he was even more worried that there would be an ambush ahead, and it would be a loss if the gold and silver were lost without fighting for their lives. With these twenty search boats, it was enough for them to go back and exchange business.

Although the subordinates were reluctant, they did not dare to disobey orders.

In the early morning of the next day, Yu Baojia met Fan Jiang who came to support him. Knowing that Yu Baojia abandoned the fleet and fled, Fan Jiang looked down on him a hundred times. It's just that everything has fallen into the opponent's hands, and the sailors in Jiangnan were also defeated. The more than 10,000 soldiers and horses he brought could not beat Qiu Qian at all, so he had to give up.

It took Guan Tai two days to take Yongcheng. On the fifth day after he captured Yongcheng, seven large ships suddenly appeared in the port.

Si Bonian said outside the room: "My lord, General Guan sent someone to send an urgent letter." The use of urgent means that the matter is more urgent.

Du Zheng saw that Yun Qing's face was a little ugly after reading the letter, and asked, "What's wrong? Did something happen in Yongcheng?" Logically, nothing should happen!

Yunqing said: "Qiuqian intercepted Yu Baojia's fleet, but there was no gold or silver on the twenty-four ships." Although antique calligraphy and paintings are very valuable, it was in peacetime. Stuff is just worthless. And gold and silver are hard currencies at any time.

Du Zheng's face was also very ugly when he heard this: "Where did all the gold and silver go?" So much gold and silver can't just disappear out of thin air.

Yun Qing said: "I'm afraid that these gold and silver were sent to the capital ahead of time." Whether his guess was right or not, he will know soon. With such a large amount of money, once it landed, it would be impossible to hide it.

Du Zheng was distressed and had to do it: "Yan Wushuang has made a lot of money this time." Tens of millions of gold and silver piled up to form a mountain.

Yun Qing said: "Qiu Qian sent us seven ships, and Guan Tai hasn't sent someone to check the things on them. But it's worth a lot of money." Compared with the tens of millions of gold and silver, the items on these seven ships There is not enough to see. But no matter how small the mosquito is, it is still meat. Since it was delivered, it must be accepted.

Du Zheng said: "This Qiu Ye keeps his word, but things are not divided like this." They have to divide 30% of the twenty-four ships intercepted, but it is seven ships. The problem is that the things on these seven ships don't know what they are. If it's all worthless things, it will be a loss.

Yun Qing felt that Du Zheng had lost money: "Since he sent these seven ships here generously, he definitely wouldn't do anything."

After Du Zheng listened, he didn't speak any more.

While talking, I heard Si Bonian's voice: "My lord, my concubine has a letter."

After reading the letter, Yun Qing fell into deep thought. After a while, she raised her head and said to Du Zheng: "The princess said in the letter that she is going to send Han Jianming to Fujian as a lobbyist, hoping to convince Qiu Ye to submit to us." They are all empty. Although a huge amount of loot was seized, the appeasement and governance after the war were also a huge expense. Therefore, if Fujian can be resolved peacefully without sending troops, it will reduce a lot of burden.

In the letter, Yuxi also said that Han Jianming was asked to be the governor of Jiangnan after the matter in Fujian was over. Yunqing recognized Han Jianming's ability. So he didn't object to Yuxi's suggestion. It's just that it's not appropriate to talk about it before it's officially written.

Du Zheng was a little surprised, but he nodded quickly and said, "It's a good thing to subdue Fujian without sending troops. I'm afraid Qiu Ye won't want it."

Yun Qing shook his head and said: "Qiu Ye agrees to cooperate with us, it's actually a kind of show of favor." If Qiu Ye didn't have this thought, Qiu Qian wouldn't be so forthright at all to send [UU READING 00kxs] the spoils of seven big ships Come.

Du Zheng saw that Yunqing's expression was serious, and asked, "If that's the case, what is the prince worried about?"

Yun Qing said: "Qiu Ye surrendered, we will definitely not be able to release his military power. I am worried that he will continue to support himself and disobey the dispatch as he does now." If this is the case, it is a huge hidden danger.

Du Zheng said: "What did the princess say?"

Yun Qing shook his head and said: "The concubine did not mention this in the letter." But Yun Qing can be sure that Yu Xi must have thought of what he was worried about a long time ago.

Du Zheng thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, if Qiu Ye dares to support his own troops and refuses to obey orders, then he will send troops to attack." After a pause, Du Zheng said: "If the matter in Fujian can be resolved peacefully, then we can wait for Jiangnan After the matter is settled, it will be much easier to attack Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangdong."

Yun Qing hummed and said, "We'll wait until the issue in Fujian is resolved." Now there are still one-third of the counties in the south of the Yangtze River confiscated, and it may take until next year to attack Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangdong.

The trophies of Jinling were transported into the city of pickaxe one by one, like a long dragon. The people of Pickaxe City, upon hearing the news, all came to watch the excitement. However, there was an army to maintain order, and there was no chaos.

According to Yuxi's instructions, these spoils of war were all put into the official treasury, and antique calligraphy, paintings, silk and satin were sent directly to Pingxi Palace. There are too many things, and the whole palace is busy.

Brother Rui's triplets got the news, and immediately went to Yuxi after practicing martial arts: "Mother, I heard that Jinling's spoils have arrived. Mother, where are our weapons?"

Yuxi asked: "What weapon?"

Brother Rui said cheerfully: "Mother, you forgot that the weapons that Dad found for us were sent back together with this batch of spoils of war."

Yuxi was so busy all day long that she really forgot about it: "There are too many things, and they need time to sort them out, and they will be sent to the backyard tomorrow." Yuxi hoped that this time Yunqing would not Give the triplets a sword that cuts iron like mud. The triplets are not serious, and they are easy to hurt.

Brother Rui didn't want to wait until tomorrow, so he hurriedly said: "Mother, the things father gave us must be marked, you can ask someone to ask." He was eager to know what kind of weapon his father was looking for. Sample.

Yuxi smiled and said: "Success, mother, let someone ask you." Brother Rui is also impatient. (to be continued)
