"Why did you choose me to be the helmsman?"
Jiang Chuhan laughed: "When I, Jiang Chuhan, was in Jiangnan at the time, I was just a seven-grade sesame official, and I was able to get the full support of the inner sect to become the helmsman, if there was no inside information, I don't believe it." ”"Yes, there is."
Yang Bo turned around and sighed lightly: "Actually, it's very simple, my inner sect has already fallen apart, but under the strong pressure of the Lin Gang Master, nothing has happened for a long time, however, we need someone who has a common enemy with us, the Outer Sect, and at the same time, this person must be an official, so the Lin Gang Master has chosen you." ”Jiang Chuhan nodded, and said without showing any surprised expression: "So, I became the helmsman, and now, the inner sect of the Earth Council has been disbanded, so I, the helmsman, no longer exists, right?"
”After a deep sigh, Yang Bo pointed to the tomb and said lightly: "Dare to ask Lord Jiang, do you know who is buried here?"
”"Who?"
Jiang Chuhan said in surprise."
The first helmsman of my earth!"
Yang Bo said categorically: "Now, the outer sect of the Earth Society has long since turned into a rebel organization, and the only remaining inner sect that maintains the righteousness of the Earth Society has now existed in name only, it came too fast, it came too fast, it came too fast." ”"What's next, what are you going to do with the Men Cao Gang?"
Jiang Chuhan was silent for a long time, and then suddenly asked."
What else can I do?"
Yang Bo smiled and said: "Rely on it, it's just that after breaking free from this shackle, our Cao Gang and the underground forces below the Cao Gang will also get rid of the fate of several generations on our bodies from now on, in fact, it is a good thing for them to come." ”"Serve the court."
Jiang Chuhan sighed and said.In fact, Jiang Chuhan had already had this thought, but first, he was just a powerless and powerless Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, and I was afraid that the weight of his words was not as strong as that of this Yang Bo in front of some court officials."
What do you mean?"
Yang Bo's eyebrows were raised, and he said lightly."
Serving the imperial court, right now, ah no, I'm afraid that in a few years, the general trend will probably change against the grain, and at that time, the situation will change your Cao Gang, can you be used by the imperial court?"
Jiang Chuhan asked in a deep voice.It's just that as soon as Jiang Chuhan's words came out, it immediately caused Yang Bo to laugh: "Lord Jiang, Lord Jiang, worthy of Lord Jiang, if you change to someone else, you will only use it for your own use, where will this force really exist in the imperial court?"
”"This" Jiang Chuhan was stunned suddenly, to be honest, Jiang Chuhan did have this thought, but due to some non-special factors, this idea was forcibly dispelled, in fact, who doesn't want to really control this force?
Jiang Chuhan thought, I'm afraid anyone wants to!
Yang Bo nodded and continued: "Sai Sai is the daughter of the previous gang leader, if it weren't for Lin Gong also dying together, the gang leader should also be Lin Gong's, since the lord married Sai Sai as his inner relative, my Cao gang should also be obedient, I don't know what Lord Jiang wants?"
”"What do you mean" After a long time, Jiang Chuhan finally reacted, and said with a hint of trembling: "Are you, the Cao Gang, willing to be used by me?"
”"Definitely!"
Yang Bo said categorically, and in the end, Yang Bo's face finally showed a smile: "In fact, I, Yang, have already thought about the way out, Jiang is a generation of talents, and my Cao Gang should serve the people, not to mention my son Sunshine, who also wants to establish a reputation, seeing that the troubled times are about to rise, the outer sect will never let go of this opportunity, so my Cao Gang should choose the Lord and sacrifice, so my Cao Gang should serve the Lord!"
”"Good, good!"
Jiang Chuhan was so surprised that he was about to stop talking, and in the end, he saw Yang Bo suddenly bow down and say in a low voice: "My subordinates see Lord Jiang!"
My Cao Gang is willing to help and serve, and I will never regret it!
”"Good!"
Since ancient heroes have been so generous and accepted Yang Bo's gift of service, Jiang Chuhan has already burst into tears at this moment.The Dragon Boat Festival is very lively.There is no other reason, just because in this place, the current emperor Chongzhen will receive the envoy from the Tatar State Guiying Chataiji, and at the same time, the imperial court forbidden army will also hold a huge dragon boat race, one is to play a role in watching, as for the second, our Chongzhen Emperor, more or less there is some meaning to promote the prestige of the Ming Dynasty.Of course, in this way, Jiang Chuhan and the other family will naturally not miss this opportunity, after Mei'er, Saisai, Chen Yuanyuan and other three daughters dressed up, Jiang Chuhan took the three daughters to watch the forbidden army dragon boat race in Beijing.Qiu Feng and others had already sent guards, servants and hired idlers to the Jinming Pond to occupy a place where the willows were still in the view, the brocade mattresses were paved, and the various plum red boxes were filled with sweets such as sugar yuanzi, crystal horns, lychee paste, plum ginger, and apricot slices, and Pan Lou also prepared wild duck meat, dripping crystal tart, winter moon pan rabbit spinning, fried slots, brain meat and other chewy food, together with the newly brewed plum wine and apricot wine, all of which were packed with high-quality silverware.Jiang Chuhan and other families occupy this viewing place is a hill next to the Jinming Pond, looking out condescendingly, only to see that the Jinming Pond is full of brocade tents and feasts of officials, businessmen and gentry, surrounded by children and maids.The bustling people of Shun form a lively circle around the tricks, watching the iron sword, playing puppets, spitting five-colored water, spinning mud balls, miscellaneous plays, scripts, piano flutes, drums and flutes, going to the knife mountain, playing monkey plays and other tricks, in addition, there are fortune tellers, charades, and medicine sellers wandering around, making the Jinming Pond seem very lively.More ordinary people, three or five people found a big tree, facing the water of Jinming Pond and sat on the ground at will, with a bamboo blue of various colors in the middle, and some stood on tiptoe on the bank of Jinming Pond and looked at the waterfront hall on the opposite bank.However, after Jiang Chuhan settled the three daughters, he had to return the same way, Jiang Chuhan was an official of the imperial court, and he had to serve the emperor according to the system.In the past, the empty waterfront hall is even more grand at this moment, countless flags cover the sun, the soldiers of the forbidden army in front of the hall are dressed in red brocade robes, the hats and hairpins are blooming flowers, the swords and guns are out of the sheath and the cold light is shining, and they are reflected in the sun.The cavalry garrisoned the horses, and the infantry troops lined up neatly beside the temple.In the Linshui Palace, the Huangluo umbrella cover, the golden chair and other royal utensils are impressively visible, which shows that His Majesty Chongzhen is coming here to participate in the Dragon Boat Festival celebration today, the palace is full of royal relatives and relatives, and there are countless eunuchs and palace maids, holding gold and silver spittoons, white jade fruit plates, peacock tail feather fans, jade handle dust and other royal things, although it is white, but there are two hundred palace people carrying red gauze lanterns and glazed palace lamps in the periphery of a circle.There is a large open space next to the water palace, before the soldiers of the forbidden army officially start the dragon boat race, the army discharged all kinds of tricks and juggling into the house of the presenter, some are singing, some are lion and leopard dances, some are dancing waist drums, some are climbing bamboo poles, some are doing somersaults, some are naked sumo wrestling, some are fighting with rattan waist knives, some are spitting fireworks, because it is deliberately prepared, it is a hundred times more wonderful than the juggling watched by the people opposite Jinming Pond, and there are hundreds of musicians in the palace music club next to it to harmonize with orchestral silk and bamboo, it is really a carnival.Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty is the minister in his left hand, the prince's family in his right hand, and the beauties and princesses of the harem behind him.Chongzhen looked out, only to see that the hundred officials outside the Linshui Hall were crowned with court clothes, outside the ranks of the hundred officials, the front division of the palace specially selected the tall Zhendian warriors to be powerful and extraordinary, and the envoys of the Tatar State next to them were very respectful."
I don't know how many of the hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the Ming Dynasty are juggling?"
Guiying Chataiji said softly, and the voice could only be heard by Jiang Chuhan, who was closest and had just stood here."
How many of the so-called elite soldiers in your country have been given to the monks of Buddhist temples?"
Jiang Chuhan replied-for-tat, the nobles of the Tatar Kingdom worship Buddha and become obsessed, and many princes and nobles actually gave to the Buddhist temple the people of the leather room who have followed them for generations, which is also a joke in the Ming Kingdom.Chongzhen's eyesight is very good, and when he saw that the envoy of the Tatar State, Guiying Chataiji, dared to look up, he couldn't help but snort softly at the end of his nose, remembering the alliance with the Jurchens who made a lot of noise in Beijing the previous time, and instigated and supported the harassment of Liaoyang by the Jurchen vassal in the northern part of the Tatar State, which was worth a try.The commander of the guard pro-army infantry division made Xiong Can come to report that all the troops were ready to stop, Chongzhen signaled that the dragon boat race could start, after the three horns were sounded, in the deafening cheers of more than 100,000 Shun residents, nine dragon boats slid offline, and there were twenty-four big men on each dragon boat, naked and bare, and under the hard rowing, the dragon boat seemed to be speeding on the water."
Keep it up!
Fast!

”The Iron Cavalry Captain Cao Bianjiao was shirtless, revealing a tattoo of a white-fronted tiger with hanging eyes, and struggled to beat the drum, but his own voice was louder than the drum, and the green tendons on his short and thick neck rose, and the elite soldiers of the Iron Cavalry Army selected by his subordinates did not dare to slack off, and after a while, they were sweating profusely, but their arms did not dare to relax at all, with the beat of Cao Bianjiao's drum, the frequency of the oars became faster and faster, the splash brought up became bigger and bigger, and the cheers of the crowd watching the battle on both sides of the strait became stronger and stronger."
