please make me king

Chapter 1124 Fei Yizai

"General Zhenxi, the elders in the city are waiting for you. They have already prepared cattle, sheep and wine to wait for the master!" As soon as Chen Changzhu arrived at the east gate of Lanzhou City, Wei Congyi led the officials of Lanzhou City, big and small, to greet him outside the city gate. road.

"War is a trifling matter?" Chen Changzhu couldn't help raising his eyebrows coldly when he heard the words, and scolded.

"As the elder brother of King Shun, this general is not short of money, beautiful women, and food and drink. Let's go!"

"Everyone, don't worry, if you can't wipe out the thieves this time and keep one side safe, I would rather return the shrouded horse leather!"

When Chen Changbing said "return the body shrouded in horse leather", he specifically pointed to the coffin behind him.

Everyone was taken aback when they heard the words, and they couldn't help but feel relieved.

Although the chieftains of the Lu family, Dongqi, and Dongli had a strong family background and strong strength, compared with the rebel army that shook the world and even broke the main force of the Ming army, no one thought that they had comparable strength.

Since the rebel army has newly occupied Shaanxi, they are facing threats from enemies in all directions. Whether or not they can mobilize troops to fight to the death with the chieftain of Gansu is a question that everyone cares most about.

However, this time, King Shun not only sent his righteous brother Chen Changliang to come, but also accompanied by a coffin, which gave everyone a reassurance.

Chen Changzhu didn't necessarily have to bring the coffin and return lying in the coffin, but the rebel army's determination to completely suppress the "traitors" gave Lanzhou hope.

"General Zhengxi, this way!" Lanzhou General Fei Yizai led the way.

Shanxi Town originally had one officer in charge, one deputy commander in charge, and five generals in charge.

Among them, the general who guards Lanzhou in Shaanxi Province, also referred to as the general who is Lanzhou for short, is one of these five people.

"This Lanzhou city is quite big!" Today's Chen Changliang has traveled all over the world, and he can be called a well-informed person.

Just looking at the scale of Lanzhou City, I couldn't help but be extremely surprised.

"What a joke, what a joke!" Fei Yizai said with a smile upon hearing this.

"Lanzhou City is located on the border of Xichui, and it is the most important town in the Northwest, so there is a lot of construction work."

"At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the city was set up to be six miles and two hundred paces. The height of the city was three feet five, and the width was two feet six. There were one gate in each of the southeast, northwest, and four gates in total. This is the beginning of the inner city."

"In the reign of Xuande, the outer city was added, with a circumference of [-] miles and [-] steps. In the Zhengtong period, nine gates were added to the outer gate, and the general shape of Lanzhou city was determined so far."

"Eighteen miles?" Chen Changzhu couldn't help but gasped when he heard that.

Now under the rule of the Rebel Army, the largest city, Xi'an, is forty miles around, and the second largest city, Luoyang, is only over eight miles. The outer city of Lanzhou is actually about ten miles longer than the city wall of Luoyang.

"It's not comparable to Luoyang. Although Luoyang is small, most of it has no city, and there are still many people outside the city. Although Lanzhou is large, it has two cities inside and outside. In fact, it is mainly for military defense." Fei Yi could not help explaining.

"General Fei is really more than a magistrate, it's really impressive!" Chen Changzhu said in surprise when he heard this.

Unexpectedly, as a warrior, this person knows the history of Lanzhou City like the back of his hand.

The allusion to his name Fei Yizai comes from the Analects of Confucius. As the name suggests, the so-called "Fei Yizai" is the county magistrate of Feiyi.

According to the Analects of Confucius, Zilu, a disciple of Confucius, recommended Zigao as the governor of Feiyi.As a result, Confucius said: "The son of the thief lady!"

What do you mean?That is to say, "You are harming other people's children."

It turns out that the situation in this place is complicated, and his disciple Zigao has never been favored by Confucius, so there is such an argument.

But later Zigao still served as the governor of Feiyi, and his achievements were outstanding, which was completely beyond the expectations of Confucius.

Fei Yizai's parents took this name, of course not only expecting him to be a "Hou Lihou" in the future, but also hoping that their child can be like Zigao, who can have a great future under the circumstances that are not favored by others.

This kind of allusion in the Four Books and Five Classics is very rare to modern people, but it is familiar to the Ming Dynasty people who use the Four Books and Five Classics as their basic textbooks.

Chen Changbing was not as ignorant as Zhang Shun, even though he was only a martial arts student, he was familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, and knew the allusions in them.

"Don't dare, dare not, the last general was originally from Xi'an, and he knew the border affairs quite well. He was originally the general of Hezhou, because the general of Lanzhou was transferred to the governor of the three sides, Liang Tingdong, and died in battle, so he moved the town here." Na Feiyi mayor Hearing this, he laughed.

"I just happened to do some homework, and I just met the general, so I spoke out."

"From Xi'an?" Chen Changzhu couldn't help looking Fei Yizai up and down when he heard the words, and asked with a smile, "Which Wei is from?"

"Don't dare to hide from the general, he is actually from Xi'an avant-garde!" Fei Yizai heard this and sweated his forehead.

"How much land was confiscated by the rebels at home?" Chen Changzhu asked with half-closed eyes and stroked his long beard on his chest.

"Um... almost eight or nine hundred hectares!" Fei Yizai broke out in a cold sweat.

It turned out that the rebel army cleared the farmland of the Xi'an Prefecture Guards, and those who occupy more than [-] mu of farmland will be taken back to the public.

As a member of Xi'an's vanguard army, the Feiyi steward has accumulated many family properties through ten generations.

As a result, when the rebel army came, not only confiscated all of them, but also lost nine out of ten.

Although the benefits of the rebel army clearing up the farmland were great, the evil consequences were gradually revealed.

"Eight or nine hundred hectares?" Chen Changzhu couldn't help being shocked when he heard that.

For one hectare and one hundred mu, these eight or nine hundred hectares are eight or ninety thousand mu.

The Daming feudal prince who did not mix well is probably only at this level.

As the saying goes: "Taking money from someone is like killing one's parents."

What the rebel army did not only kill their parents, they literally dug up their ancestral graves, which made Chen Changzhu not surprised.

Fortunately, Chen Changbing also reacted quickly, since this guy didn't collude with the chieftains of Lu, Dongqi, and Dongli to rebel, he must have some ideas.

He couldn't help smiling and comforting him: "Don't worry, King Shun has always been rewarded for meritorious deeds and punished for his deeds, and there is nothing wrong with allowing Jue to hold on."

"Although Fei's lost some acres, it doesn't matter. He will earn it back with his ability in the future."

"If you really follow King Shun wholeheartedly, His Highness will certainly not have any grievances, and you will have nothing to lose."

If it is said that Fei Yizai has no complaints in his heart, then no one will believe it.

However, when his family wrote to him to tell him that the rebels had "robbed" his family property, Fei Yizai was also furious, and almost wanted to raise troops to fight "the thieves to the death".

However, the "thief" is powerful, and Zhang Yingchang, his immediate superior, Lintao general, has wholeheartedly voted for the "shun thief". What can he, a small Hezhou general, do?
When Zhang Yingchang was afraid that he would cause trouble and sent him to Lanzhou as a general, Lu Yunchang, chieftain of the Nalu family, actually wrote to him, asking him to "anyway".

Fei Yizai thought about it for a long time, and finally secretly burned the letter, just pretending that this had never happened.

It turned out that he weighed himself in his heart: "The thief is powerful, and the governors of the three sides are all talents in the world, and they are still not his opponents."

"Now that Zhang Yingchang, Zuo Guangxian and others have joined him one after another, it is obvious that the Yulin generals have already hooked up with him."

"Then there are three towns in the three borders and four towns in Shaanxi, and three towns are in the hands of others. How can it be a big deal with just a few chieftains?"

"So, it's better to save your life and wait and see what happens!"

That's why Chen Changbing found out that he was following him.

Chen Changbing's words immediately moved Fei Yizai a little bit.

The person in front of him is the sworn elder brother of His Highness King Qin, and also his capable general in charge of the party.

If I can follow him, make contributions, make a lot of contributions, and earn twice the family property, it may not be impossible.

Thinking of this, Fei Yizai quickly expressed his loyalty: "General Zhengxi, don't worry, I can trust the character of His Royal Highness King Qin."

"But what is a few acres worth? What's more, the rebel army left some land for my family to live on, and the days are still passable."

"If General Zhengxi doesn't dislike it, I'd rather be by your side, and take the credit for being a wife."

"Okay, what a man!" Chen Changzhu couldn't help being overjoyed when he heard that, and patted him on the shoulder.

"If you are not afraid of death, follow me!"

"Manly man, there are not so many twists and turns. If you can fall into the battle, climb first, capture the flag, and kill the general, I will personally write a letter to ask for credit for you."

"If unfortunately you die on the battlefield, shrouded in horse leather, then I will personally ask for a sympathy for you!"
