Chapter 1590: Kaikyo

"Sister, how are you doing these days?" Beizhai came to Kou Baimen's home in Wuding Bridge. Kou Baimen was not involved in this incident because of Beizhai, but she was about to get married, and her husband The son-in-law was taken down and beheaded, which was a lot of blows, and because the sisters who had been friends with him in the past did not dare to come to the house because they were afraid of being implicated by Zhu Guobi, Kou Baimen was quite depressed.

"At the beginning, I was still complaining about my sister's coming, thinking about my happy life, but my sister refused to come to the door. Looking at it now, I am afraid that the only one who remembers me is my sister." When he saw Beizhai, Kou Baimen rushed She fell into her arms and began to cry, "Why is my life so miserable? I finally managed to escape the sea of ​​suffering, but this ended up like this."

"Good sister, don't cry, don't cry." Beizhai hurriedly hugged Kou Baimen to comfort him. In fact, she felt a little guilty because she told Shen Long about this matter after all. Of course she also knew that Zhu Guobi's brain was twitching. Lu Wenzhao and Cao Huachun would still be able to find out about such a big noise even if she didn't tell her, but they still feel a little sorry for Kou Baimen.

"Hey, to be honest, when my younger sister was going to marry Zhu Guobi, I persuaded you several times, but this person was not a good match. However, my younger sister was fascinated by him at that time, and now it seems that it may not be a bad thing. "Beizhai and Kou Baimen talked about Zhu Guobi's past experience. This person has a temperament that loves the new and dislikes the old. Every time he meets a girl he likes, he will dote on her in every possible way, but as soon as the freshness wears off, he forgets her and ignores her. .

In Duke Baoguo's mansion, there were quite a few concubines like this, they were by no means inferior to Kou Baimen, but after Zhu Guobi got married, within a few months at most, these girls were completely neglected and lived in depression.

In history, Kou Baimen was also in the same situation. Not long after this grand wedding, Zhu Guobi threw her aside and continued to have fun on the Qinhuai River. Kou Baimen quickly became the envy of all Jinling women became a joke.

And the situation after that was even worse. After the Qing army went south, Zhu Guobi surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. Soon after, he went to the capital and was put under house arrest by the Qing government. , Kou Baimen said, "If you sell your concubine, you can only get a few hundred gold, and if you send your concubine back to the south, you will get ten thousand gold in one month to report to the public."

After Zhu Guobi thought about it, he agreed, and Kou Baimen returned to Jinling with his maid Douer on a horse in short clothes. Although Kou Baimen felt sorry for Zhu Guobi's fickleness and ungratefulness, after making a decision with Zhu Guobi, he still raised 20,000 taels of gold for Zhu Guobi. He redeemed himself for Zhu Guobi.

After Zhu Guobi got away, on the one hand, he still felt that such a beautiful woman was reluctant to let go, and on the other hand, he might have been really touched: it is not easy to find a woman who can be so righteous in times of crisis, so he wanted to reconcile the old relationship with Kou Baimen, but now The white gate is not the same as before, it is no longer his plaything, she said honestly: "Back then you used money to redeem me from the brothel, now I also use money to redeem you, you and I will not owe each other." One clean break.

Since then, Kou Baimen has returned to the Qinhuai Opera House, where he spends his days dreaming and drinking with literati and poets. Unfortunately, he falls ill. At that time, there was a literati named Han Sheng. He had a relationship with Kou Baimen, but During Kou Baimen's illness, one night, when Kou Baimen begged him to sleep by her side for the night, Han Sheng didn't miss the old love, pushed Kou Baimen's hand away, abandoned her, and met her in the next room. One of her maids made fun of her, Kou Baimen was overwhelmed with grief and indignation when he heard this, and became sicker and sicker. In a few days, a generation of chivalrous and erotic brothel girls passed away so sadly.

From this point of view, it may not be a bad thing for Kou Baimen that Shen Long cleaned up Zhu Guobi, at least he doesn't have to suffer this crime anymore.

"Isn't there a man who can be relied on in this world?" Kou Baimen asked in tears. Zhu Guobi's various crimes have been repeatedly exposed these days, and what Beizhai told her just now, Kou Baimen The door's impression of Zhu Guobi was much worse, and his mood eased.

"I once met a strange man,

He said to me, why does my daughter's family have to rely on others? As long as we are self-reliant and self-loving, we can still live a happy life. If my sister feels bored staying at home, why not go live with me for a while. "Beizhai issued an invitation.

"There is such a strange man? It's really unimaginable. If I meet by chance in the future, my sister will have to introduce me." Kou Baimen showed a look of longing, while Bei Zhai sighed in his heart, and see him next time I don't know when to go.

At this time, the man Beizhai liked was on the campus of Jinling, admonishing the soldiers of the Jinling Guard. Because of Zhu Guobi's incident, Jinling's nobles were wiped out, and the commanders, Qianhu, and Baihu of Jinling's army were also there. A considerable number of them were arrested and imprisoned for crimes; later, Shen Long took the opportunity to reorganize Jinling's army, weeding out the old and the weak, and recruiting the young and strong. Officers who came from the capital served as commanders, thousands of households, and hundreds of households. , These soldiers are very disturbed.

"Although you were said to be soldiers of my Ming Dynasty, in fact, they were just domestic slaves of Xu Hongji, Zhu Guobi and others. The military salary was deducted, and they had to work for them every day. They worked hard all day long but had no food and clothing. Even their own family members There is no way to support yourself! But it is different now, the imperial court will prepare to pay you a full amount of money every month, and this money is enough for you to support yourself!"

"What you have to do is to practice every day and practice martial arts well to fight for your own future! Why can Xu Hongji and others do this? Isn't it because their ancestors have made great achievements for me? Now you also have such an opportunity..." Shen Long also took Ding Run as an example. Two years ago, he was just an ordinary person, but now he is a commander, and he also has the title of Earl. Hearing this, these soldiers were fascinated by it.

"Long live your Majesty, long live, long live!" With sufficient salary and a bright future, these soldiers shouted long live. Afterwards, Shen Long made an arrangement for Ding Run to stay in Jinling to train these soldiers. He gave Ding Run After one year, these soldiers will follow Zheng Zhilong's fleet to Nanyang to restore the old port Xuanwei Division for Ming Dynasty.

It's just that at that time, the Xuanwei Department of the Old Port will no longer be the territory of the Ming Dynasty, but will be under the direct jurisdiction of the Ming court, and will set up prefectures and counties to dispatch officials.

"That's it, I'll leave the Jinling matter to you!" After all this work, Shen Long should go back. Before leaving, he said to Ding Run, the Jinling civil servant and the new guarding eunuch.

"The ministers will definitely do their best." Everyone saluted.

"That's good, I'm going back to Beijing!" Shen Long got on his horse and headed north.
