I

Mr. Lou came with people from Jingxingyuan, including Fei Rumei, Zhao Zhenfang, Yingchun, Dongfu and others, as well as Fei Chun's parents and younger brother (three years old).

Of course, there is also Fei Yinghuan's youngest son, Fei Rugao, who is only two years old.

The excuse for their trip was to move to Fujian and live with Fei Yinghuan, who was an official abroad.

"Is that Nanchang City? The city wall is so high!" Fei Rumei is fifteen years old and looks very similar to her sister, but her personality is more outgoing and lively.

No wonder Fei Rumei was amazed, the Nanchang City Wall is 9.3 meters high and 6.7 meters thick. Not counting the three-piece soil and stone foundations, there is also a 3.5-meter-deep city wall underground - you can't dig in even if you want to dig a tunnel.

In order to enhance the defense power, the city gates were reduced to seven, and an urn was built at each gate, and each urn was equipped with a thousand-jin gate.

As for the moat, it is 35 meters wide and 5 meters deep.

If you want to attack the city, you must first fill in the moat. This is already a big project.

Without internal support, Nanchang City would be impossible to break!

Zhao Zhenfang ran out and said: "Second sister, mother asked you not to run around and go back to the cabin quickly."

Fei Rumei said: "I didn't run around, I just came out to see the strange things."

"Go in quickly." Zhao Zhenfang said.

Fei Rumei curled her lips, turned around and went back to the cabin, looking at Nanchang City again with nostalgia.

Zhao Zhenfang followed in and said with a smile: "Mom, the second sister is back."

"Don't walk around here, go out after passing Nanchang." Lou warned.

"Why?" Fei Rumei was quite curious.

Lou didn't want to explain, but said, "You'll know in a few days."

Zhao Zhenfang asked: "Mom, I heard that there are rebels in Ji'an Mansion. Aren't we afraid of rebels and robbers when we pass by Ji'an Mansion?"

"Not afraid." Lou smiled strangely.

Today, Zhao Zhenfang is particularly affectionate with Lou and treats Lou as her own mother.

Just because the Lou family treated her well, when the news of Zhao Han's rebellion came back, she treated her even more kindly. Even in private, the slaves in Jingxingyuan called Zhao Zhenfang "Third Miss".

Zhao Zhenfang opened the porthole and looked at the scenery on the shore silently.

She couldn't wait to hear that her brother was also in Fujian, and she could finally reunite with him.

There was a bank checkpoint ahead, and after queuing up to pay, the ship finally passed smoothly, and Ms. Lou breathed a sigh of relief.

Next is Zhao Han’s territory!

Li Maofang, the governor of Jiangxi, has been recalled to Beijing, but his private banknotes are still there. Ding Kuichu, the governor of the left, is very happy collecting money.

Zhu Xieyuan, the newly appointed governor of Jiangxi and governor of the five southern provinces, is still in Guizhou and may not have received any news yet.

However, Zhu Guoxun, the commander-in-chief of Jiangxi Province, had already taken up his post and took a boat straight to Jiujiang to take over the navy from Jiangzhou Bingbei Qianshi.

Zhu Guoxun used to fight in naval battles in Fujian, accumulating military merit by swiping pirates, and was promoted to deputy chief soldier because he participated in the destruction of Liu Xiang. He naturally knew how to fight on the water, and looked down upon the inland navy, thinking that it would be easy to defeat Zhao Han's navy.

At this moment, while he was practicing in Poyang Lake, he sent someone to contact Zheng Zhilong, hoping to buy some artillery equipment on the ship.

Jiangxi's officers, soldiers and rebels are all upgrading their weapons and equipment!

When the ship docked at Fengcheng Pier, Mr. Lou sent people to land to purchase food, and at the same time called Fei Lin and Mr. Ling.

"Madam!" Fei Lin and his wife saluted respectfully.

Lou smiled and said, "Sit down."

"Thank you, Madam." The couple sat down carefully.

Mr. Lou asked: "Do you know where we are going on this trip?"

Ling replied: "Go to Fujian."

Lou shook his head: "Go to Ji'an."

"Ji'an is the territory of rebels." Fei Lin said in shock.

The name of the Zhao thief in Luling has long spread throughout Jiangxi. What's more, the prefect of Guangxin was defeated and died, and only a few hundred of the more than 4,000 village warriors fled back. The people in Qianshan simply changed their expressions when talking about Zhao thieves.

Mr. Lou smiled and said, "The Zhao thief in Luling is Brother Han."

"Han...Brother Han!" The couple were so shocked that they opened their mouths from ear to ear and looked at Mr. Lou with wide eyes.

Mr. Lou added: "Your son is a senior official under Brother Han and helps Brother Han manage money and food."

The couple didn't feel happy. Instead, they were so shocked that their whole bodies were weak, as if the sky was falling.

They are domestic slaves. Even if they are ambitious, they are not too greedy for money. They will become the housekeepers of the Fei family in Ehu from now on. Mrs. Ling was even more groomed and submissive. She had long since given up her desire to be a wife and would never call herself "Mrs. Ling" again.

Rebellion is too far away from them.

Mr. Lou pointed to the city outside the porthole: "This county town also belongs to Brother Han."

The couple looked at each other, their world only consisted of the Fei family mansion in Ehu.

When Fei Lin was young, he followed Fei Yinghuan to visit Qianshan County and Guangxin Fucheng, so he had some experience.

As for Ling, a trip to Hekou Town is like a long trip to her.

The entire city here belongs to Brother Han, which is completely beyond their imagination.

Mr. Lou took out the deeds between the two of them and said, "Under Brother Han's rule, slaves are not allowed. Fei Chun has become a high official, and it is impossible for you to be slaves again. Just take it."

Fei Lin subconsciously took it and slapped himself suddenly.

Not dreaming!

The couple was so frightened that they even forgot to thank them and just stood there dumbly.

"You guys go and have a rest. You can drink some rice wine to calm down the shock." Lou said.

The couple came to the adjacent cabin as if they were sleepwalking, and each sat in silence for a long time.

Suddenly, Mrs. Ling asked: "Chun'er became a high-ranking anti-thief official?"

"It should be...right." Fei Lin was still a little confused.

Mrs. Ling suddenly covered her mouth and cried loudly, crying: "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

Fei Lin was also trembling with fear and comforted himself: "No, no. Luling Zhao... Brother Han is very powerful. I heard that even the officers and soldiers can't win against him."

"No matter how powerful a rebel is, he is still a rebel. If the emperor sends bigger officials to beat him, how can he defeat him? It will be over by then!" The more Ling thought about it, the more scared she became, and she cried more sadly.

"Cry, cry, cry, what's the point of crying?"

Fei Lin was upset by crying and scolded: "My son has become a thief, how can I cry him back by crying? Madam has her own opinion. She also went to Ji'an. Whatever she does from now on, we will follow her."

"Yes, yes, madam, go too..." Ling was suddenly stunned, "Master Ruhe, could he have become a rebel as well?"

Fei Lin suddenly woke up, slapped his thigh and said, "No wonder Madam treats Chunfang (Zhao Zhenfang) so well. It turns out that she knew about this. Young Master Ruhe must be a thief, Chun'er went out with him."

It seemed that Fei Ruhe's family became thieves, which gave them a sense of security, and Ling suddenly became less afraid.

Not only was she not afraid, Mrs. Ling also became excited: "If Chun'er becomes a high official, won't we be able to enjoy happiness in the future?"

"What are you thinking about?" Fei Lin said speechlessly.

Mrs. Ling began to fantasize: "I want to buy ten maids and ten boys to serve me. Every day, I will open my mouth for food and stretch my hands for clothes. By the way, what is your ancestor's surname?"

Fei Lin shook his head and said, "I don't know."

"Then your surname should still be Fei, and there is no need to change it," Ling suddenly scolded, "You are not allowed to take concubines!"

Fei Lin didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "What are you thinking about?"

Ling sneered and said, "That's hard to say. Which powerful man wouldn't take a concubine?"

It's okay not to say it, but when Mrs. Ling said this, Fei Lin was really tempted and began to fantasize about how many beautiful concubines he could have.

In the couple's fantasy, the passenger ship slowly sailed to Ji'an Mansion.

Every time they passed a county town, they were excited because it was Brother Han's territory.

When they arrived in Ji'an Fucheng, the couple followed Lou ashore.

Ling said in a low voice: "Brother Han's territory is really big. I heard there are more than ten counties, but we have only passed through a few. In my opinion, Brother Han will be the emperor in the future, and our Chun'er will be the founding hero of the country. Just wait and enjoy happiness for the rest of your life."

"Don't talk nonsense, don't talk nonsense." Fei Lin reminded her again and again, but she felt happy in her heart.

The soldier responsible for picking up the people ran to the General Military Mansion to report, and guards immediately came out to greet him.

The two maids Yingchun and Dongfu also gradually felt that something was wrong.

But he didn't know what went wrong, so he had no choice but to go in with Lou.

This place used to be a government office. Although half of it is an office space, the area of ​​​​the inner house is also very large.

After walking through the corridor for a while, I finally saw someone.

Several soldiers who went to Qianshan to pick up the people immediately gave a military salute and said: "Headquarters, the people have been brought here."

"Very good, thank you for your hard work." Zhao Han said with a smile.

Fei Rulan held the child in her arms and followed Zhao Han forward.

"Lord Tai Shui."

"mother."

Mrs. Lou smiled with joy and said happily: "Okay, okay!" She took her grandson and asked, "What's the name of the child?"

Fei Rulan replied: "It has not been a hundred days and I haven't given a big name yet. My nickname is 'Guan'er'."

"Gu'er?" Lou didn't understand.

"It's a fire gun," Fei Rulan said helplessly, "Not long after the gun was born, one of his subordinates offered him a fire gun."

The mother and daughter were talking here, Zhao Han winked at his sister, and Zhao Zhenfang suppressed the joy in her heart and just smiled.

Fei Rumei finally came to her senses: "Sister, you are married to Brother Han? Then shouldn't I call you brother-in-law?"

"Don't you like it?" Zhao Han asked with a smile.

Fei Rumei smiled and said, "I like her very much, brother-in-law!" She turned to Zhao Zhenfang and said, "My sister has become your sister-in-law."

Zhao Zhenfang quickly saluted: "I've met my sister-in-law."

"Eh!"

Fei Rulan was very happy, took Zhao Zhenfang's hand and put a jade bracelet on her.

After everyone reminisced about old times, Fei Lin and Ling's couple were sent to Fei Chun's own mansion.

Those above the county magistrate level are all equipped with public houses to live in, either brought by the yamen, or snatched away by the tyrants who killed the bullies. These public houses cannot be bought or sold, and after transfer or resignation, they must be given to the next person.

Zhao Zhenfang doesn't care about any rebels, she just follows her brother.

After walking around for a while, Zhao Zhenfang suddenly sighed sadly: "Such a beautiful house, it would be great if the eldest sister is still here."

Zhao Han comforted him and said, "I have sent people to look for him."

Really already looking for it, Zhao Han asked someone to draw a portrait and asked Xu Ying to help find out.

The portrait will definitely be distorted, relying mainly on names and clues.

There are spies from Zhao Han in Yangzhou, Zhenjiang, Nanjing, Jiujiang and Nanchang, and they are currently mainly trying their luck in these five cities.
