Chapter 589: Bandits are rampant
A piece of holy decree went out of the west gate, and the world moved.
This is a very warning decree, which was hastily written by Yang Tinghe, a member of the Cabinet University, and sent to the celebrant to be stamped with the emperor's treasure seal, and then approved and promulgated by the General Administration.
Regarding the matter of King Ning's dominance, Yang Tinghe's performance seemed to be very enthusiastic, and Zhu Houzhao didn't care about anything after throwing out a sentence of "Shen Yu Warning", and the rest was almost all Yang Tinghe was busy working.
The person sent to recite the holy decree was also personally appointed by Yang Tinghe, and the weight of this person was not small, he was the eldest brother-in-law of Emperor Hongzhi, the uncle of Zhu Houzhao, the husband of the eldest princess of Changkang, Cui Yuan, the commander of the horses, and the marquis of Jingshan.
As for why Cui Yuan was sent to announce the decree, Yang Tinghe also had his small abacus, and he didn't look at the content of the decree, if King Ning hadn't been caught by the door like Gonggong Zhang, he would definitely be able to judge the meaning of the Jingshi court to him from the identity of the person who announced the decree. The matter did not make a big fuss, and the emperor wanted to keep it within the scope of family affairs.
I have to say that Yang Tinghe is well-intentioned, he is doing his best to eliminate this military disaster, it doesn't matter what King Ning has done before, as long as the holy decree arrives in Nanchang, King Ning can be alert and stop the precipice in time, then this matter can still continue to cover the lid, and the world is still peaceful.
…………
At the same time as the holy decree left Beijing, a fast horse also followed out of Beijing.
This ride has nothing to do with the Holy Decree. It was the old brother and old team of Nanjing sent by Qin Kan privately, and his speed was obviously much faster than that of Cui Yuan, the commander of the horses, and he was almost a man of March, and he could be regarded as a fast horse for eight hundred miles.
His mission is also related to King Ning, Qin Kan gave a death order to the Jinyi Guard spies lurking in Nanchang City, and rescued Tang Yin from King Ning's Mansion at all costs!
Qin Kan doesn't have many friends, and with the rise of his status, he has fewer friends, and if a friend like Tang Yin who is poor dies, there will be one less, and Qin Kan can't afford to lose.
To this sour scholar. Qin Kanwei was really angry. Now that the war between the imperial court and King Ning is imminent, the two sides are secretly fighting their own troops, and the war clouds in Jiangxi are dense, and Tang Yin actually broke into King Ning's territory without knowing whether he was alive or dead. It's just looking for death.
Anger is anger. Wait for Tang Yin to return to Beijing safely from Nanchang. Qin Kan would rarely beat him, but his friends must not watch him die at the hands of King Ning, or be coerced by King Ning and lose his name for the rest of his life.
******************************************************************
Tang Yin also wanted to escape. More than anyone else, he wanted to leave the ghost place of King Ning's Mansion urgently.
Since the last time he seized the opportunity but got lost in the palace, Tang Yin learned from the pain and summed up the lessons and lessons, and also started a new round of escape planning.
Night is coming, the sunset is all over the sky, and it is already the time to hold the lights.
Zhu Chenhao, the king of Ning, sat in the study of the palace, and in front of him sat Shi Li Shishi, the chief of staff.
The arrow is already on the string, Zhu Chenhao is getting busier and busier, the army needs a lot of conditions, military morale, ordnance and salary, public opinion, and even climate and geography, etc., these are all necessary to prepare well before the army is launched.
"Lord, don't worry about the food, enough for the army to last ......more than a year," Li Shishi said calmly.
King Ning also nodded, of course, he knew the details best: "In the past few years, this king has used many thunderous means, and the collected food and salary are piled up, but this king is not worried about this, but he ...... I have suffered the people of Nanchang City, and this king has guilt for them......"
Li Shishi hurriedly said: "Those who want to achieve great things must not have the kindness of a woman for a while, the people of Nanchang City have indeed suffered, and the prince will ascend to the great treasure and reign in the world, and then compensate the people of Nanchang well." ”
King Ning nodded, saying guilt in his mouth, but in fact, his heart was indifferent, as if he had shouted a meaningless slogan, and soon moved on to the next topic.
"How's the ordnance aspect?"
"The ordnance is almost ready, yesterday Ling Shiyi came to report, a total of 20,000 long knives, 10,000 round shields, more than 20,000 ash spears were hoarded in the arsenal of the palace, and these princes bought 2,000 bird guns secretly from the officials of the Beijing Division of Industry and the Creation Bureau, a hundred tigers rushed arrows, 2,000 arrows from the Divine Fire Flying Crow, 2,000 arrows from the fire dragon out of the water, and ......a number of gunpowder iron bullets."
King Ning's face was slightly happy: "With these ordnance and firearms, it is enough to attack the city and plunder the land, these things are the treasures in the heart of this king." ”
Li Shishi said with a smile: "These things are the capital to help the prince achieve great things, but we can't rely too much on firearms after all, the foundation of the prince is the hearts of the people of the world, and the generals and soldiers and horses in his hands, they are the foundation of the prince to fight for the world." ”
Speaking of the people's hearts, King Ning's expression was solemn. Li Shishi is right, the people's will is the most important thing.
"Have you written the uprising?"
"It has already been written, and as long as the prince gets up, the text can be spread to every corner of the world within a few days......"
Li Shishi squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "The prince sent people to spread rumors in Beijing, saying that the current emperor was not born to the first emperor, and now it has been spread to everyone, even if that little faint monarch is full of mouth, it is not clear that the prince used this reason to start an incident, under the banner of recovering my surname Zhu's bloodline, it is really a wonderful idea......"
King Ning Ha Lu Ha Da Lu smiled: "Yes, I have so many clans surnamed Zhu, how can a little bastard of unknown origin be qualified to sit on the country?" When Jianwen was built, the thief Zhu Di lied to my ancestors, saying that the country and the country should be governed together, and now that he Zhu Di has been sitting in the country for more than 100 years, it is also my turn to be King Ning! ”
Everything was ready, King Ning was in a good mood, he just closed his eyes, and he seemed to see the yellow dragon chair in the Jingshi Golden Palace beckoning to him.
Li Shishi saw King Ning's happy appearance, he knew what King Ning was thinking at the moment, and said softly: "Lord Wang." We are different from those who don't want to do anything but know how to set up a flag to rebel and divide the fields, since ancient times, the rebellion needs to be chaotic, and now the Zhengde Emperor is mediocre, favoring Liu Jin, Qin Kan, Zhang Yong and other traitors, forcing Liu Jian Xie Qian Liu Daxia These loyal old ministers and famous ministers to sue the old man one by one, many loyal ministers in the court have been killed and degraded, and the court and government have been made into a miasma by these people, which has the conditions for chaos, and now the most important thing for us is to win the hearts of the people in the world. The people's hearts are in hand. When the prince can look at the world, then all the people will welcome him, so that he can be called a righteous army. can be called orthodox. Only then can we cut off the last trace of luck in Zhengde. ”
In the end, I used to be a squire. I have to say that Li Shishi's vision is much broader than that of ordinary rebels, and he directly points to the most critical point of seizing the world.
King Ning thought so. kept nodding, thought for a while, and suddenly stood up and said: "This king goes to take a look at that stupid genius Tang Yin, this person's reputation is not small, if he agrees to join this king's command, even if he doesn't do anything, it will be a big banner for scholars and scholars in the world." ”
Li Shishi smiled and nodded: "What the prince said is exact." ”
The two were about to walk out of the study, but the door was suddenly opened, and Liu Yangzheng, another staff member of the palace, walked in with an anxious face.
"Lord Wang, it's not good, Tang Yin...... Lose your marbles! ”
King Ning gasped: "Crazy? How can it be! ”
Li Shishi's expression was solemn: "How could he be crazy when he is so good?" ”
Liu Yangzheng said regretfully: "The student saw that the prince had frequently persuaded Tang Yin to return to his command in the past few days, but Tang Yin refused to agree, and the student wanted to share his worries for the prince. After a few drinks with him, Tang Yin seemed to be a little drunk, and told the student that he suffered from epilepsy when he was a child, which was complicated by madness, and that he had improved a lot over the years, but he still made mistakes occasionally, especially sometimes he also committed ...... when he drank too much."
Liu Yangzheng said bitterly: "...... Of course, the student didn't believe his nonsense, so he smiled and patted him on the shoulder, laughing and scolding 'naughty', but Tang Yin's face suddenly changed, his whole body trembled, and he fell to the ground with a plop, and his whole body was violently swinging, and his mouth was foaming, rolling his eyes, and his legs were kicking ......"
King Ning sneered: "Hmph, pretending to be sick, this king is the ancestor, Tang Yin's way is far behind!" ”
Liu Yangzheng smiled bitterly: "The student was frightened at the time, but he couldn't help but believe it, although this kind of thing is often heard, but few scholars can give up their face to really do it, and then the student called the maid to pinch Tang Yin, Tang Yin's eyes were red after waking up, and he ran around crazy, not only peeing in the yard in front of the maid, but also grabbing the mud and stuffing it into his mouth, crying for a while and laughing for a while......
Liu Yangzheng's eyes gradually appeared frightened: "Lord Wang, the student really just patted him on the shoulder casually......"
King Ning's face suddenly became ugly: "The trick of pretending to be crazy, Zhu Di, the king of Yan, did it back then, he pretended to be crazy at least he was elegant, at most he only smirked at others or robbed things on the street, this surnamed Tang was even willing to eat dirt in order to escape from the control of this king, did this king make him so disgusted?" ”
******************************************************************
After half a month's journey, Wang Shouren finally entered the Jiangxi boundary.
As soon as he stepped into Jiujiang Mansion, the northernmost part of Jiangxi, Wang Shouren was warmly welcomed by the people of Jiangxi, and the way of welcoming him was quite chic.
Within two days, Wang Shouren and his entourage encountered a total of four attacks by bandits and bandits, although the opening remarks were different, most of them did not deviate from the scope of "I opened this mountain, and I planted this tree", and the bandits were obviously well trained, and they were well prepared for attack and defense when fighting, and to be honest, the regular officers and soldiers of the ordinary guard of the Ming Dynasty were inferior to them. Even the Great Sage Wang Shouren couldn't help but spend the belly of the gentlemen of the bandits and bandits with the heart of a villain, and I really wondered if they were the officers and soldiers of the guard who lacked money to spend disguises to engage in side jobs......
Qian Ning and more than 100 Jinyi guards under his command were responsible for protecting Wang Shouren, when they encountered the first group of bandits, these Jinyi guards who were used to eating Taiping grain in the Beijing division also swaggered and showed their waist cards and shouted, who knew that the bandits may not be literate or they don't want to give Jinyiwei face, not to mention that the head is a knife......
It wasn't until they encountered the same situation twice that Qian Ning and his brothers gradually understood a truth, on the ground of Jiangxi, the signboard of Jinyiwei really had no effect, and the bandits robbed and beat the iron-faced selfless children, and they didn't buy it at all.
So Qian Ning and his brothers simply stopped taking the waist card out to offer ugliness, and when they encountered bandits and bandits, they would meet them with real knives and guns.
Only two days after entering the Jiangxi territory, more than 100 brothers under Qian Ning's Jinyiwei were killed in battle and more than 20 were seriously injured.
Qian Ning was tired, and he didn't want to kill anymore, he just wanted to shake his hand and send a cloud-piercing arrow to the sky, and then thousands of troops would meet him......
"Lord Wang, we can't go anymore, we must inform the officers and soldiers of the government and the guards in Jiangxi, the lower officials didn't expect that the bandits in Jiangxi are so rampant, and we are afraid that more than 100 of us will not be able to protect the adults, my lord, your identity as the governor should be revealed." Qian Ning said bitterly.
Wang Shouren has always behaved unhurriedly, as if the current predicament had been expected by him, his expression was as calm as a monk, and even his laughter was so unfathomable.
Qian Ning and the others, who were originally uneasy, saw Wang Shouren's determined expression that everything was in the palm of their hands, and everyone gradually calmed down as if they had taken a reassuring pill.
They know that the person who can be introduced by Grandpa Qin, the boss of Jinyi Wei, as a close friend in his life, is definitely not a simple character, look at his smile, the Buddha is not as ethereal as he laughs, look at his Erlang legs, how calm he trembles, look at the corners of his eyes that keep twitching...... Can ordinary people smoke so beautifully?
In short, Lord Wang must have a way to let everyone get to Nanchang alive, it is necessary.
"Please also ask Lord Wang to take a charter, and the lower officials and others will only look forward to the adults." Channing clenched his fists heavily.
Wang Shouren nodded slowly: "Hmm...... Bandits in Jiangxi are indeed rampant, and the official did not expect it to be so difficult to deal with, and hard work is not the way, so the official decided to march to the next market in a hurry, and then buy a horse for each person......"
Qian Ning's eyes lit up: "Yes!" Let's use cavalry to deal with the bandits, and a single charge can cause heavy casualties to the bandits......"
Wang Shouren glanced at him lightly, and said leisurely: "Who said that this official wants to use cavalry to deal with bandits?" ”
Qian Ning was stunned: "What do you mean by ......"
Wang Shouren sighed: "Fools know the way, it's faster to run away on a horse......" (to be continued......)
