Chapter 840
The officials waiting in the Yunxiao Pavilion finally looked forward to Song Nan downstairs. For some reason, the Duke of Zhen went to the brothel to rest made these critical guards feel reasonable for the first time. If you can only damage 8,000 soldiers and horses, you will smash more than 80,000 rebels. You also have the capital to openly come to the brothel to sleep with Hua Kui in your arms. The young Duke in front of him has been like a god in the hearts of the soldiers and civilians in Nanjing. No one pointed out that Meng Lang's behavior was improper, because they were all small flaws on the white jade and could not hide his bright light at all.
Song Nan arched his hand down the steps and smiled, "Your Excellency has been waiting for a long time. Why did you come here to see me? Just say it in the lobby of the Military Department. I also want to be quiet and have a good sleep, so I came to this Yunxiao Pavilion to rest.
Huang Jue rushed forward and arched his hand and said, "The subordinates and all the adults were originally here to congratulate the Duke on behalf of millions of people in Nanjing. The Duke taught Zhu Chenhao's nearly 100,000 troops to disappear ashes and be a real god. However, the subordinates and the adults knew that the prince was too tired last night and came here to have a good rest, so they did not dare to disturb the adults, so they all waited quietly for the adults to wake up. Did the adults sleep well?
The officials suddenly looked ambiguous. The Duke slept in the boudoir of Shen Yunyan, the leader of Yunxiao Pavilion, for half a day. Naturally, the scene could be guessed without saying. Huang Jue asked if he slept well, and everyone began to automatically make up for the affairs of the Duke and Shen Yunyan in the room.
Song Nan covered her mouth and coughed several times, scolded these guys for their obsceneness, and smiled and said, "The rest is not bad, and now it's very refreshing. I'm afraid you don't know yet. This Yunxiao Pavilion was my private property. The year before last, when I came to Nanjing, I bought this industry and rest in my private property. Just like at home? Naturally, it sleeps very sweetly.
The officials were stunned. It turned out that Yunxiao Pavilion was Song Nan's property. Although there were such rumors secretly, people did not believe that the Town National Assembly bought a brothel to ruin their reputation. So it seemed that Zhu Chenhao could not get Yunxiao Pavilion, but it turned out that Song Nan was Yunxiao Pavilion. The owner. So it's not a big deal for Song Nan to come here to sleep. Even if the girl in his own building sleeps next to him, there is no one else to talk about. No wonder the prince came here to rest without bending. It turned out to be his own garden, and he didn't have to avoid any suspicion at all.
Song Nan didn't want to gossip about these matters. She waved her hand and said, "Let's go to the Ministry of War to talk. Our large group of officials are gathered here. Naturally, they won't say anything. If they don't know, they still think Song led you to visit the brothel together."
The officials laughed and said, "It's better to go to the government office to talk, so as not to be misunderstood."
An official said, "I'm not afraid of shadows, but I'm not afraid of misunderstandings. I'm afraid that the old slaves in my family will know that I can't help it. If I go home and make a mixed uproar, I can't stand it."
The officials laughed again. Song Nan laughed and said, "It seems that this adult's life is having a hard time. I'm afraid the one in the family will make you suffer a lot."
The official smiled bitterly, "Isn't it? It's unspeakable."
Song Nan took over the rein handed over by Zhao Dapeng and smiled, "It's a blessing to have a tough woman at home. I dare to guarantee that this adult must be a famous virtuous man in Nanjing."
Huang Jue smiled and said, "How did the prince know? Meng Fuzi is the professor of our Nanjing Guozijian, and he is the first erudite and virtuous person in Nanjing.
Song Nan turned over and laughed, "It's very simple. Someone is in charge. If there is no strict wife in the family, how can he be clean and become famous? Don't you know what's wrong with us as men?
In the loud laughter, the officials followed Song Nanhao in a sedan chair and went straight to the military office.
......
When Song Nan was sleeping in Shen Yunyan's sweet boudoir, the finishing work of the Nanjing War was constantly going on. The Nanjing Marine Division led by Mao 18 was not useful during the war. They only patrolled the river downstream of Meizizhou and followed Song Nan's instructions to intercept the leaky fish that broke through the sunken ship belt. . Not to mention, dozens of rebel warships broke through the sunken ship belt and rushed to the river east of Meizizhou. But they are all fragmented and on the verge of sinking. There is no need for Mao 18 to attack, and they will also sink by themselves.
As a result, the only role of more than 100 warships led by Mao 18 became the ecological protector of the Yangtze River to salvage materials and corpses on the surface of the river. 70 or 80 large ships were divided into three teams and lined up on the river, forming three filters, salvaging all the full floating corpses and materials floating down the river and transporting them to the open space by the river.
This work did not end until the afternoon. The salvaged bodies piled up more than a dozen small hills at the mouth of the Qinhuai River. At first, the soldiers of Mao 18 and the sailors frowned quite shockingly. Later, they were numb and looked at the dense bodies as if they saw duckweed on the river. I'm used to it.
There are not many corpses on the surface of the river, and the sporadic corpses rolling in the surging river are no longer a big problem. Mao 18 decided to end the salvage work. Next, he has another important task. Song Nan ordered him to open the passage of the sunken ship after finishing the salvage, so that the sailors can march up through the sunken ship. Enter.
The method is actually very simple. Several ships throw down the hook together and hook the underwater sunken ship together to open the channel. Mao 18 has been looking forward to this moment for a long time, because once the channel is opened, it means that the Duke of Zhen will soon send his sailor to use, and what the remnants of the enemy who attack Anqingfu needs is his own water. Division of soldiers and horses.
Just as Mao 18 ordered all the warships to march to the sunken ships on both sides of Meizizhou, the flag came from the warships in front of them, saying that strange things had been found. Mao 18 ordered his warship to approach the ship in front of him and looked at it in person from the springboard. He saw two bodies lying wet on the deck of the ship, dressed brightly and luxuriously. They were the bodies of a woman who were quietly hugging each other.
It is not surprising that the bodies recovered were recovered. Mao 18 saw tens of thousands of bodies this morning, but they were without exception the bodies of rebel soldiers. The bodies of a pair of women who suddenly appeared tightly together were obviously extremely unusual.
Judging from the clothes, the two women were obviously not ordinary women. When Mao 18 saw that the old woman's fingers had a different look, he suddenly understood, so under his loud scolding, the soldiers who salvaged the body handed over a huge gem tremblingly. Banzhi; Mao 18 also had no intention of scolding them. It was common for soldiers to salvage the bodies and search for some property on the bodies. But the spot in front of him is obviously unusual. The huge ruby is inlaid on the gold hoop, which is engraved with a phoenix-shaped pattern, which is a decoration that can only be enjoyed by noble relatives of the emperor.
Mao 18 realized the special status of the two women, so he immediately ordered to transport the two bodies to his ship and turn around and drive towards Nanjing. He wanted to report the matter to the Duke of Zhen.
In the lobby of the military government, Song Nan is arranging to maintain stability in Nanjing, vigorously search for Ning Wang Yu Party to prevent them from making trouble, and arranging soldiers and horses to attack Anqing Prefecture. In the face of the concerns of Nanjing officials about Zhu Chenhao's escape to Anqing Prefecture, Song Nan did not care.
Because Song Nan knew that tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of Xu Tai on the north coast had approached Anqing Mansion and blocked all the passages on land road, it was obviously impossible for Zhu Chenhao to attack Fengyang Mansion or other state capitals on land from Anqing Mansion. And Zhu Chenhao can't go back to attack the Jiujiang Mansion, which has been beaten by Jiang Bin, Wang Yong, Li Daniu and others. Although Jiang Bin does not have many soldiers and horses, the whole Jiangxi has been controlled by Wang Shouren. Zhu Chenhao must look for his own death when he turns around.
The guards in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and other places on the south bank have also gathered, which is the situation of the siege on all sides. No matter where Zhu Chenhao wants to break through, it is useless. He has become a turtle in the urn and is waiting for Song Nan to catch him. If not, how could Song Nan sleep sweetly in Shen Yunyan's boudoir on the second floor of Yunxiao Pavilion?
The arrival of the two bodies interrupted everyone's discussion. Even Song Nan felt strange when he heard Mao 18's narration. The two women obviously died in last night's fight, but their clothes were neat and there was no trace of injury, and the death was a little inexplicable.
While everyone gathered around the body to check, Huang Jue suddenly lost his voice and shouted. Everyone looked at him in surprise. Huang Jue looked embarrassed and said in a trembling voice: "This... I know this deceased."
Song Nan frowned and said, "Oh? Who is it?"
Huang Jue said, "I forgive you. Before, Zhu Chenhao intended to make friends with the subordinate, and the subordinate had to lie with him... Well... When Zhu Chenhao came to Nanjing, he brought his family. The subordinate had been a guest in his Nanjing house and met this young woman."
Soong Nan said, "Who is she?"
Huang Jue said, "She is the Lou family, the princess of Ning. This time Zhu Chenhao attacked Nanjing City, and his family must have accompanied her. How could Lou die in the river? This is puzzled."
Song Nan frowned and thought for a while, pointed to the old woman and said, "Who is this?"
The professor of the Guozijian probed and said, "From the style and pattern of this ring, it should be a royal thing. It can be seen that this old woman's status is noble. If she is also Zhu Chenhao's family, I'm afraid that only Zhu Chenhao's mother, a noble lady, will receive the reward of the royal thing, otherwise who Do you dare to carry this phoenix tattoo?
This speculation is reasonable. No one has put forward this view before, because everyone can't believe that Zhu Chenhao's mother and Princess Ning will die on the river. After all, Zhu Chenhao escaped unharmed.
"This is strange. Zhu Chenhao escaped. How did his mother and wife die in the river? Is there a civil war or rebellion among the rebels?" Someone said so.
Song Nan shook her head and said, "It's impossible. These two bodies have no scars. Before death, they hugged each other tightly and wore neat and luxurious clothes. Who would usually wear them like this? According to me, it seems that they are going to die. I'm afraid that they are born and have no hope of falling into the river. Zhu Chenhao, you are too failed. Your ambition not only buried your own life, but also your wife and mother can't be saved. It's really a vain person for you not to surrender.
Everyone is deeply convinced that there is no hope after the defeat, and it is not impossible for the woman to throw her into the river and die.
Song Nan waved her hand and said, "I ordered the woman to tidy up and clean them, and use the good coffin to converge good luck on the warship. Tonight, the army will set off. When it arrives at Anqing Prefecture tomorrow, return the coffin to Zhu Chenhao and reunite them."
In the sigh, Song Nan quickly stepped out of the government and stood on the high level to stare. The street scene was picturesque, peaceful and peaceful. Everything was bathed in the golden sunset and beautiful.
