"Your Majesty, I can certainly do this. This is not only for the people of my country, but also for my husband. Please grant me your permission."
Finally, the emperor agreed and assigned 500 imperial guards to protect her safety.
In order to get there as quickly as possible, Jiang Tuantuan took two sets of clothes and some dry food and set off without even having time to say a few words to his family or even to say goodbye to Yubao properly before leaving with the imperial guards.
Jiang An and Jiang Li volunteered to go with them to protect Jiang Tuantuan's safety. They didn't expect that their brother, who always made her angry, would go with her regardless of danger at the critical moment. They were deeply moved.
Jiang Dafeng and Feng Xiaoli immediately helped the two pack their luggage and set off with Jiang Tuantuan.
Before leaving, I went to Zhou's house specifically because Mr. Zhou was doing business in Jiangnan and he must know many caravans in Jiangnan. If he could come, things would definitely go much more smoothly.
Jiang Tuantuan had originally only hoped to get some information about the Jiangnan Merchant Corps, but she hadn't expected Master Zhou to actually go along in person. "The country is in trouble, how can we hide behind? Madam Jiang, I'm going with you!"
"Okay, thank you, Master Zhou."
Seeing that her father and Tuantuan were going, and Jiang Li was also going, Rou'er applied to go with them to help and do her part, but was rejected by Master Zhou, "You should stay at home. That kind of place is dangerous, you can't go."
Of course, Rou'er, who was rejected, became more and more courageous. She simply packed up her luggage, slipped out through the back door, then mounted her horse and followed the team.
I remember that the last time I returned to Beijing from Jiangnan, it took at least half a month. This time I have to speed up.
The entire army was rushing towards the south of the Yangtze River at a rapid speed, and Master Zhou felt as if his old bones were about to fall apart.
Rou'er, who had followed behind for three days, was almost exhausted and felt that her father would definitely not drive her away at this time, so she came to the front during the meal break. After seeing Rou'er, everyone didn't even bother to eat, and Master Zhou was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
He had never lost his temper with Rou'er since she was born, but this time he started scolding her directly, "I told you not to come, why did you follow me here?"
"I want to serve my country too!"
Mr. Zhou was so angry that he was speechless. Jiang Tuantuan quickly tried to smooth things over, "Don't be angry. Since you're here, just come with us. It's not a battlefield, so the danger isn't that great."
It has been three days, and Mr. Zhou is worried about letting Rouer go back alone, so he finally agrees reluctantly.
Because of this incident, Mr. Zhou didn't say a word to Rouer along the way, but he was always concerned about whether she had eaten enough and was cold.
It only took ten days for us to reach Jiangnan, and several horses had died from running away.
At this time, Li Jingchen also led his troops to the border. The two sides joined forces, and the team suddenly became stronger. Now the number of people was the same as that of the rebels, or even more.
The snow outside finally stopped.
As the general of this war, Li Jingchen sat in the first seat.
General Zheng told Li Jingchen the whole story of the battle, and he had a clear idea of what was going on.
"We still have plenty of food and winter clothes."
"Our food and fodder can only last until spring, but we don't have enough winter clothes. This is mainly because we didn't have such heavy snow in previous years, and there weren't any wars. In winter, everyone huddled together in the house, warming themselves by the fire, and we were able to get by. But this year, it's difficult."
Because winter has just begun.
There was still a thick layer of snow outside that had not melted. Fighting at this time would be extremely unfriendly to the rebels, but it would also be difficult for them to attack.
So both sides chose a truce.
Wait until the snow melts before playing.
The rebel generals knew that reinforcements had arrived, so they took advantage of the time when the snow melted to ask the king of Changman for troops.
The king was immersed in the land of tenderness at the moment. When he heard the report from his servant, he immediately pushed away the woman in his arms and walked into the study.
“We haven’t taken it yet!”
"It's because of the heavy snow that lasted for ten days. The weather was so cold that it was difficult to attack. Also, because of the heavy snow, the enemy reinforcements had all arrived, making it difficult to fight."
The king pondered for a moment, then said slowly, "I will give you another 10,000 soldiers. Once the snow melts, attack immediately!"
"yes."
After Jiang Tuantuan and his party arrived in Jiangnan, they first found a place to put their luggage and stay, and then began to discuss how to buy cotton.
Mr. Zhou said, "Give me a day. I'll go find the caravans I know and learn about the current situation."
Mr. Zhou shook his head again and said, "Forget it, half a day is enough!"
The rest of the people were not idle at home either. Jiang Tuantuan asked the elf to help monitor the situation within 3,000 meters and report any movement immediately.
Because many species have been collected in Jiangnan, the detection distance of the elf has now increased to three thousand meters.
The elf didn't notice anything unusual.
However, Mr. Zhou got a lot of information.
When the caravans that were on good terms with the Zhou family heard that the royal family wanted to collect cotton to send to the soldiers on the front line, they were willing to sell it at a low price for the sake of the Zhou family.
There are also many finished garments that are being sold out, and they are also sold directly to the royal family.
After hearing the news, some other small caravans and cloth shops were willing to contribute to the country. They sold their yards at a low price, as long as they did not lose money. This would save the emperor a lot of money.
The main reason was because of Master Zhou, so everyone believed it. Besides, there was also Jiang Tuantuan, who was a legitimate princess and her husband was the prince, who had both gone to the battlefield, so everyone had no doubts about it.
Because the situation was urgent, everyone worked overtime to purchase and sort the goods. After two days, we had collected a lot.
Now the only two remaining families in Jiangnan are the Bai family and the Song family. They refuse to sell at a low price and have even raised the price.
They had too much cotton and ready-made clothes in their hands. If they could buy them all, they could at least solve the problem of 30,000 soldiers surviving the winter.
But when Mr. Zhou and Jiang Tuantuan arrived, they were turned away. The other party ignored them completely and was very arrogant.
It has come to such an emergency, the country is in ruins, where can they find a place to settle down?
But the two big families refused to listen and insisted on their own ideas.
Jiang Tuantuan felt that it was useless to be angry, so he calmed down immediately and asked the elf to keep a close eye on the patriarchs of the two major families. As long as they were human, they would have weaknesses. As long as they found the weaknesses, they would be able to make a breakthrough.
This matter was handed over to Jiang Tuantuan, and Master Zhou found many people to come and make clothes from the cotton, and finish them all as soon as possible and take them to the border.
This is already the third day, time waits for no one.
But there was no point in being anxious, so Jiang Tuantuan had no choice but to go and sew clothes as well.
When Mr. Zhou saw this, he didn't urge her to ask, but waited quietly.
In the second half of the night, the elf said excitedly: "Host, wake up and don't sleep anymore!"
