Chapter 24: On the Way
Ying Yi took Erniu to avoid the patrol and sent him out of the city without a trace. Then he came to the city without stopping, and asked people to call three hundred household officials and ten chief flag officials to the front.
Of these three hundred household officials, two are the sons of Zheng Yunzhi, both surnamed Zheng, one is called Zheng Liu, and the other is Zheng Jiu. The remaining one is what Zheng Yunzhi said before, telling him about the Orion in the treasure land in the mountains of Fangcheng.
There are 4,000 households in Ye County, with more than 20,000 people. It is not an easy task for so many people to migrate to the mountains. The biggest difficulty is that there is no place to live in the barren mountains. And this hunter Zhang Shi provided him with conditions when Zheng Yunzhi needed it most.
Therefore, he was exceptionally promoted and became an official of 100 households. Even if he can't read.
The other ten chief flag officers, including Zhou Li and Lian Biao, were originally the old men of the Luyang Wei Thousand Households, and only one was left, and the others were all newly recruited and promoted.
Zheng Liu and Zheng Jiu have very similar faces, but they are twin brothers. Both of them are five big and three thick, and they look a little thicker than Zheng Wu. But his brain is not as flexible as Zheng Wu. Zhang Shi is a short, stout man with a simple face and slightly dark skin.
As for the hundred household officials, except for the one left by the thousands of households in Luyang, the others are all local good families.
Each of them is in good spirits.
is the old man of Luyang Thousand Households, who is also honest and honest. Otherwise, with Zheng Yunzhi's methods, if he was a slippery and dirty person, I am afraid that he would have been taken captive long ago.
Zheng Yunzhi established these five hundred households, but not for show, but for some ambition. As a person in the system, Zheng Yunzhi certainly knows the corruption of the health system and the corruption in it. Therefore, this team, with the efforts of Zheng Yunzhi, is completely different from the other guards who have been corrupted and decayed.
The soldiers were all from local young and well-honed families, while the officers were led by the sons of Zheng Yunzhi's family. It's a firm grip.
"By the order of the county lord. Yingyi Zhengse said: "There is something important tonight, and two hundred households need to be allocated." Zhou Li and Lian Biao, the two of you and the hundred households I belong to are counted as one, and who wants to be the other?"
Zheng Liu and Zheng Jiu glanced at each other, Zheng Liu hugged his fists and said, "My subordinates are willing." ”
Ying Yi did not hesitate and nodded: "That's you." ”
Then he said: "The others rotate to patrol according to the custom, and there must be no mistakes." There are two hundred households missing, and the manpower may be a little tight, so the brothers will take care of it tonight. ”
Then Yingyi gathered with two hundred households.
Yingyi said: "Zheng Baihu, the chief flag officer, I need fifty wooden boxes and twenty carriages and horses. Zhou Li, Lian Biao, the two of you took the hundred households to prepare the wooden box, and it must be completed before the time!, remember, the wooden box cannot be perfunctory. ”
"Yes, Baihu!"
Zhou Li and Lian Biao left with people.
Ying Yi said to Zheng Liu: "The matter of twenty carriages and horses will be handed over to Brother Zheng." ”
Zheng Liu said briskly: "Brother Ying, rest assured, my old Zheng will never delay a bit." ”
In the first half hour of the hour, the wooden boxes, chariots, and horses were ready. Wooden boxes are placed on top of the carriage and horses, one is placed on top of two wooden boxes, and three wooden boxes are placed on one carriage and horse. When the child was in time, Liu Yun arrived.
Ying Yi nodded with him, pressed the knife and shouted, "Open the city gate." ”
Under the torches, the city gate creaked open, and Yingyi waved his hand: "Out of the city." ”
After that, he turned over a horse, grabbed the reins, and said to Liu Yun, who was also on the horse, with a side face: "Liu Zongqi, please." ”
A group of more than 200 people, 20 carriages and horses, quickly left the city gate. Yingyi turned around and saw Zheng Yunzhi looking at the city.
Ying Yi hugged his fists on horseback, shouted, and the group gradually disappeared into the darkness.
Zheng Yunzhi watched them disappear into the night, a flash of melancholy flashed on her face, and she also went down the city wall and went back to the city.
...
Yingyi rode parallel to Liu Yun, and Zheng Liu pressed behind. Two hundred households, one left and one right, escorted the carriage and horses forward. Because the wooden box is empty, the speed is not slow. Although the night is dark, along the official road, it is not impossible to see the road.
Ying Yi can ride a horse, but is not proficient. Fortunately, the body coordination is unmatched, and the ride is getting smoother and smoother.
"According to the current footsteps, we should be able to reach Erlang Mountain before dawn. ”
Liu Yun said: "Brother Ying's strategy is very good, and Lord Qianhu will definitely adopt it." ”
Ying Yi shook her head: "I hope so." The news leaked here, and the hundreds of thousands of thieves are under their noses, to be honest, if there are thieves intercepting and killing, and there are too many of them, I am afraid that things are worrying. ”
Liu Yun smiled: "I heard that Brother Ying is invincible, and he was confident and heroic before, why are you worried now?"
He speaks softly, and there is no hint of sarcasm.
Ying Yi smiled: "Although I think very highly of myself, hundreds of people, thousands of people, are all trivial. But if tens of thousands of people come, if I can't kill the thief as soon as possible, I can't guarantee safety. In front of Zheng Xianzun, he couldn't sigh. ”
Liu Yun smiled and nodded: "It's impossible for tens of thousands of people." ”
Ying Yi was surprised: "Liu Zongqi can be sure?"
Liu Yun smiled: "Don't forget who I am." ”
Ying Yi was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized: "Yes, Liu Zongqi is the brocade guard of the Son of Heaven's pro-army, and his ears and eyes are all over the world." Do you know what's going on?"
Liu Yun said: "The Ying brothers are involved here, and there is no need to hide some things. We got some news from the thieves, and after speculation, it was expected that the matter of military salaries was determined among the thieves, and among the thieves, only the thief general Hao Shaoqi knew. Thieves are greedy and excessive, if I were Hao Shaoqi, I would definitely not make a noise, but block the news to be swallowed for myself. If you can't make a noise, then the tens of thousands of thieves under Hao Shaoqi's command can't make a big move. If he wanted to intercept and kill, he would definitely only send a small number of elites to come, and it would never exceed 5,000 people. ”
Ying Yi was surprised in her heart.
The name of Jinyiwei is also thunderous hundreds of years later. At its peak, Tiqi was all over the world, with countless ears and eyes. Hundreds of years later, many people believe that at the end of the Ming Dynasty, that is, when Chongzhen ascended the throne and overthrew Wei Zhongxian, he overcorrected and crippled Jinyiwei and Dongchang.
Among them, many ministers added fuel to the fire, borrowing the emperor's own hands and blinding the emperor's own eyes.
Therefore, Chongzhen was repeatedly deceived and deceived by officials.
The real Ming monarch of the Ming Dynasty, in Yingyi's opinion, is only three. The first is Taizu Zhu Hongwu, the second is Emperor Chengzu Yongle, and the third is Emperor Hongzhi. And in addition to these three, the others have such and such defects, such as Emperor Jiajing, who has not been in court for decades. But the government is still under his control. This is not only because the emperor's magic is powerful, but also because he has always firmly grasped the eyes and daggers of this country - Jinyiwei and Dongchang.
The existence of these two institutions is the greatest deterrent to all officials of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, it is taboo by officials. After Chongzhen ascended the throne, his experience was too shallow, and he was stunned by some ministers, and he stupidly crippled his hands and eyes.
Ying Yi sometimes thinks that if the Jinyiwei and Dongchang in Chongzhen's hands are still at their peak, then will Li Zicheng and these people die in their beds one night?
