After a moment of silence, someone said, "I really didn't expect that we, Hutchison, were so angry in the north. This is really cowardly."

"I have been saying that most of our power is in the north, and the court was so shocked that it was afraid to move, so I let us be so glorious in the south... I'm afraid this is the opposite, right?"

"This time we shouldn't have just come here with just a few people. We should bring the two battalions of soldiers here. I'm afraid that these dog officials would have to greet each other with a smile."

"I want to tell you to just welcome Lord Zhang from the north to Taiwan. Taiwan is our territory. How good is it to be free and easy there."

"Didn't it mean that the grassland is also under the control of Kazuki?"

"The wild land is so small, what's the point of taking up?"

"That's true."

He Bin was climbing the car door and was about to get on the car, but there were still some boxes loading the car. He was not very relieved. He climbed up the car door and opened his eyes to see. The coachman and Lifu were carrying it in the drizzle, and it would be over soon. Not far away, people from the Tianjin Governor's Office and the soldiers of the garrison looked here curiously... He Bin turned around in anger and cursed softly: "You guys say less sluts, and if you say something bad, you will ask you to get on the boat and don't embarrass me here."

He Bin is meticulous and cautious, always with some caution, and rarely curses like this with such a fierce look, so the people below are not afraid of him. However, when the honest man gets angry, it scares these people. Zheng Zhibao comes over with a knife and looks at everyone with his cow eyes open. Everyone shuts their mouths and waits honestly to get on the bus.

Not far away, Lu Da was also standing with a knife. This time, the Fourth Regiment sent two squadrons to be responsible for security work, and was responsible for a company-level commander. Lu Da Da was an old company-level sergeant. He was responsible for some specific things in the team. He was also unable to be lazy at this time, so he stood in the rain with the guards on duty waiting for the loading of the car.

Lu Da was wearing cold-forged iron armor, which was formed into two pieces on the front and back of the chest. After tightening, it could prevent most of the damage. Whether it was a close-range piercing, slashing, or a powerful shooting of bows and arrows, or even a slightly longer distance musket can be effectively defended. The disadvantage is that once there is a gap, it cannot be repaired, and it can only be recasted, which is quite expensive.

In addition to breastplate, there are also protections such as arm guards, shin guards, iron helmets, iron mesh boots. This is the original standard outfit of a jumping warrior. Now the spearmen and sergeant level can also be equipped.

This is also a clear proof of the improvement of the military department's finances over the past year. The Military Industry Department bought a large amount of iron produced in Lingqiu to make armor to supplement the gap in insufficient production capacity in the past two years. Taiwan's supplementary level is quite preferred. Therefore, sergeant chiefs like Lu Da are all wearing iron armor, and they are already rich in safety protection. If the breastplate is broken, they will be replaced with another pair.

The spearmen and the musketeers do not replace the iron armor. At most, the spearmen change armor. The musketeers are still mainly mailed, and even their arms do not penetrate armor. The musketeers' position was originally safer, and the mail was only to prevent the attack of the bow and arrow.

All cavalry were armored, and the production of artillery was also increasing steadily.

Lu Da’s iron armor and robe were wet with rain, so he didn’t care. Such weather was quite difficult for southerners. After all, even in the Little Ice Age, Fujian and Taiwan were quite warm. People born and raised in the local area would feel a considerable degree of discomfort when facing the bad weather in the north... The complaints of those people just now can also be regarded as stress reactions of the human body under the weather. It would be strange if they don’t complain.

The light rain and coldness at the moment are not taken seriously by people like Lu Da who grew up in Datong. Even if he has been in Taiwan for a few years, he has adapted to the warm weather... The influence and memory of growing up since childhood are very deep, but it is not so easy to be forgotten.

Zheng Zhibao held down those who were talking strange things, walked slowly over, and said to Lu Da: "Old Lu, I just told you to hear the joke... Those guys have never left the sea in their lives, and at most they are walking around in several Fujian mansions, just frogs in the well."

"Can you still not ask someone to complain?" Lu Dayi said indifferently: "We are a little breathing too, I don't know what the military officer will do."

"If the north cannot stay, I will be able to return to Taiwan by Lord Zhang, do you think it's okay?"

Lu Da smiled and shook his head and said, "What is our identity for such a big thing? How dare we talk too much?"

"That's the same." Zheng Zhibao smiled and said, "Just hear those muddlers talk too much, just pretend you haven't heard me say that."

Lu Da nodded and smiled, as if he didn't take this matter to heart.

...

The north wind is swaying and the temperature is about to rise. There are already snow in many places in the northern land. Although there is no snow in Zhejiang, the temperature is also cold.

The rich people are already wearing fur clothes, and have to hold copper hand stoves in their arms to keep warm, and they also ride in carriages when they go out.

The poor people rushed to find ways to get money and wanted to redeem the thick robes they had put in the pawnshop last spring before the snow fell.

Fang Congzhe has been returning home for several years since he was born in Huzhou, but his father and grandfather moved to the capital several generations ago and belonged to the Jinyiwei.

After resigning from the prime minister, due to the changes in the capital, the party struggles were quite strong. Donglin initially gained power, but later the eunuch party counterattacked, and most of the Donglin party members were killed. The lieutenant even set off from the capital and went to Suzhou to arrest the Donglin party members, causing chaos in the market. The famous Five righteous men in Suzhou were the events that broke out in the fourth year of the Tianqi period.

Fang Congzhe was not surprised by this change and evolution, and it can even be said to be within his expectations.

Leaving the capital where he lived for the past and returning to his hometown in Zhejiang to live, he had the intention of avoiding the wind.

Fang Congzhe, Eunuch Wei, who has always been ruthless, didn't catch any tricks. In the past two years, people with a capital accent appeared in Huzhou from time to time. The only thing they inquired was news from Mr. Fang. All the answers received were not fishing. After two years, people from the capital did not appear again. Fang Congzhe breathed a sigh of relief and knew that he could wait for his old age to die.

Yesterday night, the north wind was winding and dark clouds covered the roof. Fang Congzhe picked up a pen and wrote a few small slips in his study, and asked his servant to send them in advance. He wanted to invite several gentry from the same city to come to the mansion to have a drink.

When he got up in the morning, the weather was dim, so Fang Congzhe didn't care. He went out in a coarse cotton jacket and a straw raincoat.

The Fang Mansion is only a few miles away, and most of the people in the city recognize this old prime minister. Many people stood by the roadside with their hands crossed their hands, and bowed to the courtesy when Fang Congzhe came over.

Several servants from the Fang Mansion followed, and several people stood cross-legged, not asking people to get too close.

Fang Congzhe refused to sit in a sedan chair, walked as a car, and walked slowly. In this case, he could only be careful to avoid any accidents.

Fortunately, the city is safe inside and outside. No matter how powerful the wars and disasters in the north are, Zhejiang is calm. The place is calm and relatively wealthy. Even if the people don’t wear headscarves, they are a bit gentle. Fang Congzhe is actually quite unfamiliar with this land. People are willing to recognize him as a fellow villager and think that the old prime minister is his own family. In fact, Fang Congzhe’s own hometown is the huge northern city, the huge imperial capital that smells bad in summer, the spring breeze and sand swells, and the winter is biting ice, but in autumn, you can go to Xiangshan to see the red leaves.

There is his real hometown, where he was born and raised. He was born and raised in the Jiajing year. He passed the imperial examination in Wanli in his early years and passed the Jinshi in eleven years. Looking back now, almost all those with the same qualifications as him have been admitted to the land. Not many people stayed in the world, and there are only a few who are still using their remaining energy on the stage.

Looking at the recent diary, many of the ministers appointed, including the chief officials of the border, were already Jinshi in the second year of Tianqi. They were separated by more than a dozen subjects, which really made people feel like they were a different world.

Everything in the north was both strange and familiar. He was glad that he had escaped from the chaos in the north and had the blessing of peace at present. He was also very concerned about everything in the north. It seemed that he was still in the center and was still in the cabinet. He later sent the ticket to the Grand Inner Palace, waiting for the Sili to approve the rewards and promulgate it into a national policy.

It is difficult for a person who once held the highest position to fully wake up from his past state. Fang Congzhe is a relatively calm person. Sometimes there is a clear feeling of melancholy on his face, but he is not a person who is particularly close to him, so he can't tell at all.

At the end of Chen, it was snowing lightly in the sky. As expected, Fang Congzhe did not care about it, and he did not mention the fishing rod, but he still fished with peace of mind.

The straw raincoat soon accumulated snow, and the servant wanted to come up to help brush the snow. Fang Congzhe waved his hand and told the other party not to be troublesome.

It is less snow in Huzhou than in the capital, and it is difficult to have heavy snow that is knee-deep in the capital. Fang Congzhe grew up in the north since childhood, so he didn't care about this little snow.

At this time, a carriage came from the west of the riverside. The body was painted black and oily and very bright. Fang Congzhe turned his head and glanced at it, and knew that it was Zhu Guozhen's carriage coming.

Of course, Zhu Guozhen was also among the banquets today. When Fang Congzhe was in the cabinet, he was the only prime minister for seven years. Zhu Guozhen was the minister of the Ministry of Rites in the third year of Tianqi. In the third year of Tianqi, Zhu Guozhen was the Minister of Rites and entered the Wenyuan Pavilion. At that time, Fang Congzhe had resigned from the cabinet and was dismissed from the office and returned home.

Zhu Guozhen resigned after being impeached by Li Fan. Wei Zhongxian evaluated him as an evil person, but he did not do evil, which means he did not directly fight against the eunuch party, so he was able to land safely and return home safely.

The two were once political enemies, Fang Congzhe was the Zhejiang Party, but Zhu Guozhen was the Donglin. They were both from Zhejiang, but their party interests were different. They had almost never dealt with each other when they were in the capital. They both resigned and retired. They were old and no longer had the hope of regaining again. Therefore, they usually had much closer contact with each other than when they were in the capital.

There are two retired cabinet masters in one city. Huzhou is also a prominent figure and reflects the important position of Zhejiang people in the power sector of the Ming Dynasty at that time.

When Zhu Guozhen got off the pillar staff and walked slowly to Fang Congzhe, Fang Congzhe took the fishing rod and smiled and said, "Why is Ping Han Gong here when the snow falls?"

Zhu Guozhen said: "The capital is changing, and the old seniors are still fishing here. Are they really so indifferent?"
