Zhao Hu was transferred back to Guangdong from Nanyang last year and joined Zhu Hongsan's Imperial Guard Division as battalion commander. It has been more than a year now. This time he followed Zhu Hongsan to Nanjing and fought several battles with the Qing army on the periphery of Nanjing. However, even after entering Nanjing, there were some young people in the Imperial Guard Division. These people were eager to make achievements, and now they were idle and couldn't help but complain.

Today, Zhao Hu was on duty. He and a few of his military friends had a tea in the house after dinner. As the few people chatted, they couldn't help but talk about the issue of war in the north.

A captain and deputy battalion commander began to complain first: "Everyone, you know that the Second Division and the Eighth Division left Nanjing and were transferred to Yangzhou last month!"

"Nonsense, why don't we know about such a big deal? Lao Zhang, what are you going to say? Don't talk so much nonsense!"

The captain surnamed Zhang continued: "A comrade in my army is in the Eighth Division. I heard that they were blocked under the city of Yangzhou. The Qing army resisted fiercely!"

Zhao Hu came from Nanyang and knew that most of the Nanyang Navy had been transferred back this time, and the naval warships of this kind of siege war were close to support.

"Old Zhang, didn't the Navy send out warships? The Yangzhou city wall is nothing if it is strong in front of the Navy's twenty-four-pound cannon!"

"Brother Zhao, you don't know that the water system north of the Yangtze River is not as developed as the south. The navy's warships are all large ships of five or six hundred tons. The small canal outside Yangzhou City can only walk dozens of tons of inland ships. The navy's large warships with a draft of five or six meters deep cannot enter. My comrade-in-arms wrote that they fought hard, and without naval support, they could only use the army's twelve-pound cannons."

"The Navy's water rats, each of their thousands of tons of large warships costs more than 400,000 silver dollars, is enough for our army to form a new infantry division. However, when they need their navy, they cannot use their strength. Why does His Majesty the Emperor still allocate funds to build new ships for these water rats?"

The disagreement between the army and the navy has been long. All the officers and soldiers of the Imperial Guard come from the army, so they naturally have to speak for themselves.

The captain surnamed Zhang continued to whisper: "Several colleagues, you don't know about it, right? I heard that Your Majesty ordered the formation of the 10th Division. Guess who the new division commander is?"

Several people in the room were all hung up by Lao Zhang, and Zhao Hu scolded: "Don't keep it a secret, talk quickly!"

"Hehe, you can't guess. The division commander is Zhang Bao from the second group of teaching groups, and the deputy division commander is Jiang Pengju, that is, the blind Jiang who is desperate for war!"

As soon as Lao Zhang said this, several people in the house were thinking deeply. The second group of teaching groups were originally officers in the battalion, but now they suddenly came to the stage to become officials of one side, which means that His Majesty has begun to move from sea to land.

A lieutenant company commander said excitedly: "So, Your Majesty wants to expand the army in batches, so our Imperial Guard Division is not far away when it is released!" The Imperial Guard Division is half a square meter higher than other local troops, and those who go out are basically promoted and appointed, so the few people in the room couldn't help but feel very happy when they hear that they want to expand the army.

Lao Zhang looked at everyone happy and continued, "Everyone, although we are all battalion-level officers, as long as your Majesty expands his army, we will definitely command the new army, and everyone will be promoted by then!"

Zhao Hu was also very excited when he heard Lao Zhang say this. Zhao Hu is now the battalion commander, with more than 800 people under him. He doesn’t have much more than 800 people, but there are no more than 800 people on the battlefield at all. But it’s different if he wants to become a regiment commander. There are more than 3,000 people in a regiment, and he is also a small force on the battlefield. These 3,000 people can completely determine the direction of a battle at critical moments. The young man does not want to make achievements, not to mention that the title of Zhao Hu’s family is left to his younger brother Zhu Bao. If Zhao Hu wants to be a marquis, he can only rely on his own efforts.

At this time, a captain officer in the room stood up and said, "Everyone, why not go out for a drink after handing over the shift tomorrow. I heard that a new hot pot restaurant has been opened in the Confucius Temple in Nancheng. Let's try how it tastes!" These new military officers are all from Guangdong, so they naturally accepted this new way of eating, Yuanyang spicy hot pot. Several people in the room heard that they applauded and agreed to go after handing over the shift.

Seeing that everyone was in a warm atmosphere, Zhao Hu stood up and said, "Everyone, you guys, go, there are still some things in Zhao's family. How about finding a chance to be an organ in the future!"

"Haha, Lao Zhao, come on, who doesn't know that your wife is a princess? Is he afraid of his wife?" These people have been dating Zhao Hu for a long time, and know that Zhao Hu looks vicious, but he is actually a very family-oriented man. In addition, Zhao Hu is Princess Shang, so he often makes fun of Zhao Hu with the fear of his wife.

When Zhao Hu heard that his old friend was exposed, he couldn't help but blush and cursed: "You guys, I'm not afraid of my wife, but I love to know if I love you guys!"

"Come on, Lao Zhao, if you want to prove that you are not afraid of your wife, go to drink with us!"

Zhao Hu gritted his teeth, and thought that it would be nothing to have for a meal. He was about to agree, but suddenly the door of the house opened and someone came in.

Now is rest time, and Zhao Hu is the officer's office, so someone dares to come in without knocking on the door. Zhao Hu was about to get angry, but when he saw that the person came in, he quickly asked with a smile: "The princess is here!"

Zhu Luo had heard these guys making fun of Zhao Hu outside the house. After entering the house, he smiled and said, "Husband, I went to the palace to visit the prince's brother and went to visit my husband on the way. I wonder what my husband and all the uncles are talking about?"

Everyone in the house recognized the tiger Zhu Luo, knowing that this person was not easy to mess with. The older Lao Zhang smiled and said, "It turns out that the princess is here. We didn't say anything, but made an appointment to go out for a drink after get off work tomorrow. When the princess comes, we won't disturb Brother Zhao Hu anymore. Let's go!" After Lao Zhang said that, he led several officers out quickly, leaving Zhu Luo and Zhao Hu in the house.

Someone in the house was pretending to behave, but now no one in the house Zhao Hu quickly sat down for Zhu Luo and asked in a low voice: "Princess, isn't you going to work for your husband? It's really a bad impact for you, who is always here to find a husband!"

Zhu Luo rolled his eyes and asked, "What were you just saying? Are you talking bad about me behind my back?"

"Old Zhang and the others dared. They invited me to have a drink after get off work tomorrow morning. If I could agree to them, I would naturally refuse them. For my husband, I would go home to accompany my wife!"

Zhu Luo smiled satisfied when he heard Zhao Hu say this and cursed: "Who needs you to accompany you? You can go and have a drink with your friends!"

Zhao Hu knew what Zhu Luo's temper was like this year. If he was stupid and agreed to go to drink, Zhu Luo would definitely ask if he wanted to find a few singers when he had a drink? Did he eat with the singer? After the meal, was he looking for a few concubines for you? Zhao Hu didn't know this trick the previous few times, and was deeply hurt by it. The most important thing was that his mother was also standing on Zhu Luo's side, making him completely isolated and helpless. After a few times, Zhao Hu also learned his lesson, that is, no matter what Zhu Luo said, he would not get into a trap.

Zhao Hu patted his chest and promised, "Princess, don't worry, how could I leave the beautiful princess alone at home to stay in the empty room, and go to drink with those bastards of Lao Zhang, and go home to accompany the princess after work tomorrow!"

Zhu Luo nodded satisfied when he heard Zhao Hu say this, saying that he let Zhao Hu go.

When Zhao Hu saw Zhu Luo let him go, he secretly spoke up and asked, "Princess! Now it's time for his husband. If the princess is fine, go home!"

Zhu Luo remembered what happened today when he heard Zhao Hu say this, and quickly told Zhao Hu about what happened at home.

When Zhao Hu heard that he suddenly had such a second grandfather, he asked, "This Zhao Mingliang is not a fake, what does my mother say!"

"It shouldn't be. My mother-in-law also believes that he is my father-in-law's second uncle. You know that my father-in-law's second uncle was here when my father-in-law got married, so my mother-in-law should not remember it wrong!"

Zhao Hu lowered his head and thought for a while and said, "My father is not in the garrison house now. He should be with His Majesty. I'll talk about such things when my father comes back!"

"Zhao Hu, why are you like girls now? You know what the imperial prison of the Jinyiwei looks like. It is not certain whether your cousin Zhao Dequan can come out alive when he goes in. Think of a solution quickly!"

Zhao Hu had no choice, what could he, a major battalion commander do?

"But I'm on duty, I don't know what the princess has to do!"

Zhu Luo whispered: "I just went to the prince's mansion. Old Huang said that Zhao Dequan was framed by Qian Sunai and was admitted to the Jinyiwei Prison. If it really doesn't work, let's arrest Qian Sunai and see what he can do!"

Zhao Hu didn't whisper in front of Zhu Luo, because he was afraid of his wife. You should know that Zhao Hu was also a person who fought in Annan and had more than a dozen lives in his hands. Now he heard that his relative was framed by Qian Sunai and was in the imperial prison, so he couldn't help but get angry. Zhao Hu came outside the door and found a platoon leader of the lieutenant and ordered: "Take thirty people to the Qian Pavilion Mansion in the city and arrested Qian Pavilion!" The guard division only had the emperor in his eyes. Not to mention you, the prince, the commander of the Jinyiwei, as long as the above orders say he was arrested, he would be arrested. The lieutenant didn't ask anything, and went out to take people to the Qian Pavilion on the bank of Mochou Lake in the west.

Qian Sunai separated from Prince Zhu Hai in the morning and took the people back to her home outside Sanshan Gate. After returning home, she realized that her father was not at home. She had taken the housekeeper Qian Gui back to her hometown in Changshu. Now the only one of her wife Chen and Liu Rushi are at home at home.

Qian Sunai visited Liu Rushi and asked his family to prepare. After all, he had been away for so many days, so he had to take a good rest after all.

Qian Sunai was about to rest after lunch, but unexpectedly, his family came in panic outside the door to report that a group of soldiers who looked like wolves came outside the door, saying that they were here to capture Qian Sunai.

Qian Sunai was stunned when she heard his family say this. Now Nanjing is under Zhu Hongsan's control. The officers and soldiers in the city are all Guangdong New Army. In the past, the soldiers of the guards were disbanded by Zhu Hongsan. The military discipline of the Guangdong New Army has always been harsh, so how could there be such a blackmail?

Qian Sunai asked the family who reported the incident: "Do you see clearly what part of them are?"

"The Second Young Master, it should be the imperial guards in the palace. They all wear their high-top bear-skin hats, which is easy to recognize!"
