Chapter 155: The Line of Life and Death
Cao Jixiang was the first under Wang Zhenmen, and in the early years of orthodoxy (1436), the imperial court sent a large army to Luchuan to discuss Si Renfa, and Cao Jixiang served as the supervisor.
In the ninth year of orthodoxy (1444), Cao Jixiang participated in the conquest of Wuliangha, and sent troops with Zhu Yong, the duke of Chengguo, and Liu Yong, the eunuch.
In the thirteenth year of orthodoxy (1448), he went to Fujian with Ningyang Marquis Chen Mao to suppress the peasant uprising led by Deng Maoqi, and supervised firearms with the eunuch Wang Jin. Every time he sent troops, he selected some brave generals and nimble soldiers to belong to his account, and after the class, he kept them at home, so that there were many weapons and warriors hidden in the house.
Because of his good performance, he was promoted to the first eunuch of the master of ceremonies, and nominally held the transfer power of the Jinyi Guard of the East Factory.
But only in name, in fact, whether it is the Wang Zhen period or the current Jin Ying period, he is only in name only. The only thing that can be mobilized is the 500 warriors hidden in the house.
This eunuch, who was nominally in charge of the Jinyi Guard, suddenly heard the news of a large number of transfers, and immediately sent someone to investigate. He has always behaved very honestly, so much so that even though everyone knew that it was Wang Zhen's person, Jin Ying did not immediately attack him. But this doesn't mean that he is really honest, he just lacks a chance to rise.
This eunuch of the Ming Dynasty in history, who even participated in the rebellion, finally became a little restless at this moment.
Seeing that Jin Ying slapped Zhu Qiyu's sycophants and assisted him to become a powerful eunuch, Cao Jixiang did not make a move immediately, but kept waiting. In his eyes, the situation of the court is not too clear, at least the Warat people who defeated Yingzong Zhu Qizhen are a big threat, and no decision can be regarded as completely correct until they are repelled.
Even if you can become a powerful eunuch, scheming is indispensable. It was in this wait that things changed. From the mouth of his cronies, he knew that Yingzong might still be alive, and selected Yang Chendong as the pioneer of returning to his teacher.
This news is undoubtedly quite exciting for Cao Jixiang, who has been silent, and while he saw the dawn, his whole person became ready to move.
Opportunities are called opportunities because they don't come often and need to be seized. Cao Jixiang was ready to seize this opportunity, and immediately he called his nephew Cao Qin, his righteous son Cao Xuan and Cao Duo, and told him his decision to help Yang Chendong.
Cao Jixiang has always been known for his thoughtfulness, and some even call him the youngest old fox. refers to not looking at his age, but he is very discerning, even if he has such a decision, his subordinates will naturally raise their hands in favor. After reaching a consensus, more Jinyiwei and Dongchang's fans began to gather.
has been a factory official in Dongchang for several years, although it is only nominal, in fact, Wang Zhen has always been pressurized above, and major decisions also need to be under the command of this person. But this does not prove that Cao Jixiang has done nothing.
On the contrary, he has been secretly building his own system, and now that Wang Zhen is gone, the heavy stone on his head is gone, and it is time for Cao Jixiang to show his strength. Soon, Dongchang and Jinyi Weifanzi, who numbered no less than three thousand, began to concentrate, and under the personal leadership of Cao Jixiang, they headed towards Yangjiazhuang.
Outside Yangjiazhuang, it was very lively at this time.
Tang Tong led a thousand Jinyi guards in front, and the Jinyi guards commanded Han Zhi to pursue with three thousand Jinyi guards. Behind them, there were also three thousand brocade guards and Dongchang Fanzi brought by Cao Jixiang to become yellow birds, following closely behind them.
The officers and soldiers of the Five Cities of the Ming Dynasty, who were guarding the south gate, looked at the Dongchang and Jinyi guards who walked out of the city as if they were watching the lanterns. They guessed that something big must have happened, but what kind of big event it was was far from being imagined by their intelligence.
On the five-mile avenue outside Yangjiazhuang, the ghost sniper team hidden in the dense forests on both sides of the road is ready, just waiting for the enemy to deliver a thunderous blow when they arrive, and this will also become the place where they will show their fangs again.
Yang Si stood in the middle of the road alone, and Tang Tong and the others could already be seen in the distance, still unhurried. It was as if the army of thousands of troops coming from the opposite side seemed to be non-existent. Until Tang Tong ran in front of him, he waved his hand and said: "Loyal and courageous, the warriors loyal to Yingzong stand behind me, as for the others who want to invade Yangjiazhuang - kill!" ”
Yang Si's voice was not very loud, but it did have a deterrent effect, Tang Tong and the others consciously stood behind him and formed a formation.
That is, when these were just done, a dense crowd of people came in the distance, all of them were dressed in flying fish suits, holding embroidered spring knives in their hands, and their faces were murderous.
"Stop coming." When Yang Si saw that the distance between the Jinyi guard on the opposite side and him was already sixty steps, he suddenly roared, and the sound of a wild roar came out, making Han Zhi, who was the leader of the team rushing to the front, involuntarily stop his horse.
"Who are you? Dare to block the way of my Jinyi Guard's army, do you know that you have committed a capital crime? A fierce gaze fell on Yang Si's body, and Han Zhi's eyes were full of murderous aura.
"In front of him is the private estate of the loyal uncle, and no one is allowed to trespass without an order, otherwise it is a capital offense. I'm going to ask you, how many heads do you have, do you think your life is long? Facing the angry Han Zhi, Yang Sihui sneered, with disdain and disdain in his eyes.
Yang Si's momentum was seen in Han Zhi's eyes, he was originally angry, and he turned his face directly, "Boy, I am now on the order of Gonggong Jin to come to arrest these betrayed Jinyi Wei remnants, and the acquaintance dismounted and knelt down to beg to surrender, otherwise, I will blame the official for being ruthless." ”
Yang Si, who shook his head lightly and narrowed his eyes into a slit, didn't say anything, the warning had already been sent, if the other party still insisted on going his own way, the ghost sniper team would tell them what was the end of the road and what was despair.
Seeing that Yang Si no longer spoke, Han Zhi's momentum couldn't help but become much higher, and he looked sideways to the left and right and said: "Go, arrest Tang Tong and those who led the rebellion, if anyone resists, there will be no forgiveness for killing, and the three clans will be punished!" ”
"Yes." Several Jinyi guards who were swept by the gaze raised their heads at the moment, and rode forward with a look that could not be seen, and their right hands pressed the embroidered spring knife on their waists at the same time, and there was a big picture of whoever dared to resist would kill whom.
"Puff puff." The sniper step with the silencer fired at the command of Bai Sa. There was no movement at all, and four brocade guards who were driving forward fell from the top of the horses, and when they fell to the ground, their eyes widened one by one, and they looked unwilling and puzzled.
The four Jinyi Guards were suddenly killed in place, and there was indeed no sign at all, which frightened the others. For a moment, the brocade guards who were moving forward all stopped in place, looking around, as if looking for something.
"Don't look at it, if anyone is watching, I guarantee that he will be the next to die." In order to increase the sense of mystery and also to deal a fatal blow to the morale of the other party, Yang Si's shout came over.
There was an obedient lieutenant, and he immediately stopped the action of asking around. But there were also two people who didn't know whether they were alive or dead, and they didn't take Yang Si's words seriously in their eyes at all, and they were still looking around to find the reason for the death of their colleagues. But within a second, the two of them were corpses, both of them falling from their horses.
Six people died in a row, and this sudden change suddenly made a burst of exclamations from the crowd of Jinyi Guards.
If you want to say that death is not terrible, but the death is not clear, and even because of what died, who killed it does not know, it becomes very terrifying.
Han Zhi is also a physical body. With the help of Jin Ying's power, once he gained power, such a person naturally cherished his life more than ordinary people. Glory and wealth are in front of you, and if you die without enjoyment, how unjust is that!
Seeing that his brothers had killed six people in a row, he really couldn't find the reason, and his face changed again and again, and he said to the left and right: "Go, a few of you rush over, this official wants to see who is doing it in secret." ”
Han Zhi didn't figure out the reason, so naturally he couldn't go back and communicate with Jin Ying. For the sake of his position, in order to give the above explanation, he also needs more people to risk his life and find the real killer move.
The names of the several brocade guards who were named suddenly changed their faces. Knowing that it is death and must come forward, there are often only two kinds of people. One is to have a strong faith, and the other is to be a fool.
For these Jinyiwei, faith is not to talk about, and they see more power and money in their eyes.
If you can be elected to the Jinyi Guard, you will naturally not be a fool. Without any benefit, how can they be willing to risk their lives? At that moment, several people looked at Han Zhi with pleading eyes, and the meaning of the prayer was very obvious.
"What? Has no one listened to the orders of the Commander? Tell you, rushing up to fight and die, that is dying for the country, and the family will receive a pension. On the other hand, those who disobey orders will not only die themselves, but also their families will be affected, so you can choose for yourself. Han Zhicai, who was angry, would not reason with his subordinates, he directly made it clear that it was a powerful relationship.
From an outsider's point of view, Jinyiwei is very beautiful, and even the important ministers can be caught. But at the same time, their internal rules are also very strict, so strict that if you make a small mistake, you may die. Even though Han Zhidu made a threat, they had no other choice, after a few people glanced at each other, their eyes showed a look of determination, and after shaking the reins with both hands, several people jumped away.
"Puff puff" After a few faint gunshots, none of the Jinyi guards who rushed out survived, and all of them fell off their horses and died.
