Han Hai Tang Ergui

Chapter 658 Nanping finally went offline too
He Jingzhu is good at catapults, and he is brave and decisive.In Weishi, he was the child of Eshuai Li Jian's family.

Most of He Jingzhu's materials that can be found in later generations come from Zheng Wenbao's "Recent Events in the Southern Tang Dynasty" in the early Song Dynasty, or Wu Renchen's "Spring and Autumn Period of Ten Kingdoms" in the Qing Dynasty.

This person seems to be nothing compared to those arrogant and brave generals in the Central Plains during the chaos of the Five Dynasties.

But Zhang Tie, who lived in this era, gradually saw the whole picture of this ugly and short Southern Tang warrior.

Even if this person is in the fifth generation, he is still a leader.

It can be said that since Li Min passed away and Li Jing succeeded to the throne, Southern Tang has always relied on three people in the military.

Huainan relied on Liu Renzhan as a nail to resist the cavalry from the Central Plains.

On the Yangtze River, He Jingzhu relied on He Jingzhu to guard Ezhou to avoid the story of Sui destroying Nanchen.

After the two of them passed away, basically they could only rely on Lin Renzhao as the mainstay.

The rest of Zhu Lingyun, Chai Kehong, etc. are either too famous, or they are not holidays, so they cannot be counted on.

Among the three, although He Jingzhu was less famous than Liu Renzhan and Lin Renzhao, in fact he was more important to the expansion of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

When Wang Min was destroyed in the Southern Tang Dynasty the year before last, the main force of Wang Min's army was actually defeated by He Jingzhu.

In history, the reason why the Southern Tang Dynasty was able to destroy Machu was not actually the Bodhisattva Bianhao Bian who contributed the most.

But as early as when Ma Xie attacked Ma Xiguang, He Jingzhu was ordered by Li Jing, the lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty, to first dispatch the water army of the Wuchang Army of Ezhou and Ma Xie to conquer the important town of Yuezhou and kill Wang Yun, the governor of Yuezhou.

Later, he assisted Ma Xi'e's army to control the Xiangjiang waterway and participated in the attack on Changsha City.

It can be said that before Bian Hao entered Ma Chu, He Jingzhu had already cleared Yuezhou, the biggest obstacle in Southern Tang's control of Chu.

Since then, the waterway from Wuchang to Changsha has been smooth, and Bian Hao can start from Yuanzhou (Yichun, Jiangxi) without worrying about manpower and material resources.

However, there is one point to explain, that is, unlike Liu Renzhan who sticks to Shouzhou with unswerving determination and loyalty, and Lin Renzhao who is willing to sacrifice his ego to help Nantang recover Huainan, He Jingzhu is not so brave to sacrifice himself.

It may be that he was born as a child servant when he was young, which gave He Jingzhu a little bit of forbearance that is rare in ordinary generals. He even endured being robbed of such a great achievement as killing Wang Min.

At the same time, it also caused He Jingzhu to be less loyal to his boss.

In history, he saw Liu Renzhan died of illness, the national power of the Southern Tang Dynasty further declined, and he had no hope of keeping the country, so he immediately chose to resign and retire.

Therefore, it became the only one with a good death among the three pillars of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

At this moment, He Jingzhu was furious in the office of the Wuchang Army.

Not only because Li Jing was too hesitant about seizing Jiangling and Yuezhou, but also because Li Jing chose to blame He Jingzhu after being questioned by Angel Zhang twice in a row.

This made He Jingzhu immediately furious, because in his opinion, Li Jing, as the lord of a country, should resist this matter.

And the most consequences would be to be reprimanded and pay some money. Zhou Guo couldn't do anything to Li Jing at all.

But it would be unreasonable to push the matter onto He Jingzhu.

If Zhou Guo wanted to clean up Li Jing's actions, he would do too much and the gains would outweigh the losses, but for him, He Jingzhu, it would be very easy.

Sure enough, Zhou Guo's angels had already started to go down the river to inform his angel entourage that they had also arrived at Wuchang Water City.

He Jingzhu could only keep his face dark, and let the dental soldiers around him hold swords, guns, swords and halberds, and put on a fierce look, as if he wanted to chop Zhou Guolai with a knife.

. . . .

To say that Wang Jiu's courage is really big!
Zhang Ting's arrangement was to let him wait at the Hanchuan Ferry, and then send his entourage to notify He Jingzhu to go to Hanchuan to accept the reprimand.

But Wang Jiu was afraid that the attendant would be timid and unable to complete the task, so he pretended to be an attendant and came to Wuchang City.

Seeing He Jingzhu's formation, Wang Jiu couldn't help but sneer. The Uighur Khan Jieli Pija in Gaochang really dared to kill him, Wang Jiu was not afraid, how could you be afraid of He Jingzhu's small formation.

He walked up to the formation of swords, guns, swords and halberds set up by the soldiers of the Wuchang Army, and asked someone to move a small square stool to sit down. with.

Oh, right!There was an hourglass at his feet.

He Jingzhu waited in the office for a long time, but Wang Jiu didn't move at all until the hourglass was half leaked, He Jingzhu couldn't hold back, so he had to go out to see him in person.

"You are only a small official of the Zhou Kingdom, and I am a general of the Tang Kingdom, how dare you be so arrogant?"

"Although a certain official is a small official, the Holy Week is a kingdom of heaven. You occupy the high position of Jieshuai, but the Southern Tang Dynasty is nothing more than a subject."

Wang Jiu smiled coldly, and continued to teach He Jingzhu a lesson.

"A certain family saw that Jieshuai started from the humble beginning, and it is not easy to climb to the current high position, so he suggested that Jieshuai, Jiangning City is the Lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty, not the Lord of the Tang Dynasty. There is only the Southern Tang Kingdom here, not the Tang Kingdom."

He Jingzhu was about to explode with anger. He suddenly drew out his sword and gestured at Wang Jiu, and the soldiers and generals of the Wuchang Army around him also raised their weapons, threatening to attack and kill him.

Wang Jiu knew very well that at this time, he must not show his timidity, not only could he not show his timidity, but he had to be more confident than the other party.

He stood up abruptly, kicked the hourglass next to his feet, and then pointed at the surrounding Wuchang soldiers and shouted.

"Yeah followed Wang Shilang to Jiangning, even Li Jing dared to reprimand him, how could he be afraid of you?
Why put on airs here, He Jingzhu, if you dare to kill a certain family, then come, let me see if your Wuchang army can stand up to the imperial conquest. "

He Jingzhu blushed aggrievedly. If Zhou and Tang started a war, he would stick to Ezhou, even if he was in a desperate situation, he would not be afraid.

But now the emperor of Jiangning City is afraid first, if he kills the people from the court and causes Ezhou to be attacked by the court, Jiangning City will reprimand him for causing more troubles.

With many twists and turns in his heart, He Jingzhu finally let out a long sigh helplessly, and said to Wang Jiu's angel entourage.

"Since the angel of Shangguo came here by order, why didn't he come to Ezhou City? Are you afraid that I, He Jingzhu, will harm him?"

Wang Jiu said indifferently: "The angel came all the way and felt the wind and cold. Today, he is stationed at Hanchuan Ferry. Please come and see the commander-in-chief. This Ezhou City, don't bother the angel to come."

"Jie Shuai can't do it!" A Wuchang Army General loudly dissuaded him, "Zhou Renzai suddenly refused to leave in Hanchuan, there must be a fraud. Jie Shuai is responsible for Jiang's defense, so he must not take any risks."

Wang Jiu, on the other hand, looked at Yajiang who was speaking with disdain, "Isn't Hanchuan under the jurisdiction of Wuchang Army?

Angel Wang Shilang, a scholar, dares to come to this dragon's pond and tiger's lair. You are so cowardly and self-proclaimed a hero, you are really a thief! "

Yajiang was so angry that his eyes were full of fire, but Wang Jiu didn't care, he turned his head and said to He Jingzhu: "This is just a small official passing on the news, whether He Jieshuai is going or not, just give me an answer."

He Jingzhu frowned and thought for a moment. In fact, he really didn't know why Zhou Guo sent an angel to reprimand him, but didn't enter Ezhou City.
It's normal for a ruthless person like Yuan Heng to take him away directly, and it's normal that ordinary people can't guess it.

But He Jingzhu knows one thing, if he doesn't go, Zhou Guo will definitely take the opportunity to make trouble, right!You must have thought so, but there are two results.

First, if he didn't go by himself, Zhou Guo took the opportunity to attack Ezhou, taking advantage of the high morale of the naval army that had taken in Nanping and Ma Chu, and used this as an excuse to attack Ezhou.

The second is to go by himself, suddenly hold him hostage, and call open Wuchang City with his life.

Thinking about it this way, He Jingzhu had nothing to fear, and if he didn't go, he would give Zhou Guo an excuse to start a war. With the current military equipment of the Southern Tang Dynasty, he would definitely suffer a big loss.

And when he went, Zhou people threatened to open the Ezhou city with their own lives, so why should he be afraid of death?Besides, he can make arrangements in advance.

So He Jingzhu arched his hands, and immediately changed his face, "Since the angel is ill, I'll go see him at a certain family, but the city is busy, so please go and make some arrangements."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Wang Jiu to reply, He Jingzhu immediately turned around and returned to the office.

Immediately, he recruited more than ten generals from the Wuchang Army, and ordered them to immediately lead [-] sailors out of the city to cruise near Hanchuan. If something went wrong, they would surround the Hanchuan ferry. Go up and enter Hanchuan City.

Finally, he told the officials of the Jiedu Office that if Zhou people threatened his life, they would never open the door.

After doing this, He Jingzhu met Wang Jiu again, and agreed to go to Hanchuan with Wang Jiu to meet the angel.

. . . .

On the second day, just after dawn, He Jingzhu took a fast boat and went upstream towards Hanchuan with Wang Jiu.

Wang Jiu knew what was going on immediately after seeing the Wuchang army's large and small ships coming and going on the river after they left Wuchang Water City, cruising all over the river.

He Jingzhu was looking at Wang Jiu with a smile, "How would you like to see my Wuchang army athlete? But how can the Nanping and Nanchu naval forces compare?"

Wang Jiu replied seriously: "He Jieshuai is a pillar of the Southern Tang Dynasty, a dragon on the water."

He Jingzhu laughed, and continued to make fun of it, but Wang Jiu suddenly looked at the guard around him, who took out a large firecracker filled with gunpowder from his waist, and immediately ignited it.

With a bang, the explosion of the firecrackers startled everyone around.

He Jingzhu's guards on the boat were about to approach, but Wang Jiu unbuttoned his clothes, which were filled with at least seven or eight cannon sticks.

"This is the Hexi God Fire Thunder. Under the bombardment, not only the body will not survive, but the soul will also be destroyed. Whoever is not afraid of death, come here and have a try."

While speaking, five or six small boats suddenly came out of the reeds by the river, and all of them were Zhou Jun holding bows and arrows.

The boatman of He Jingzhu's boat was immediately overturned and fell into the river.

He Jingzhu was furious: "How dare Gou Nuan harm me? If the old man is injured, the angel of Hanchuan City will also die without a place to bury him."

"Hahaha!" Wang Jiu looked up to the sky and laughed, "A certain family is the left servant of the Rites of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the angel Wang Jiu.

He Jingzhu, as a subject, you don't know the time, and you dare to instigate the vassal to rebel against the suzerain. If you are so rebellious and guilty, the emperor specially ordered someone to take you back to interrogate you. "

He Jingzhu was shocked, only then did he realize that the extremely annoying little official from the state of Zhou beside him was the angel himself, and that the state of Zhou was not going to call him to open the gate of Ezhou city, but to take him away.

For a moment, He Jingzhu didn't know whether to be proud or sad.

He is proud that he, He Jingzhu, was able to get such calculations from Emperor Zhou, and he is considered a threat to the certification of Emperor Zhou.

The sad thing is that Zhou Guo had such a great advantage over Southern Tang that Jiang Ning's emperor was still hesitating in the face of an excellent opportunity.

But Zhou Tianzi was willing to deal with such a general as him, and the gap between the monarchs of the two sides was too great.

He Jingzhu suddenly couldn't arouse much resistance. Since ancient times, the confrontation between the North and the South has been the unification of the North and the South, not to mention that the Southern Tang Dynasty is not even the Southern Dynasty.

Of course, even if He Jingzhu wanted to resist, it would be too late. Under the threat of the divine fire and thunder on Wang Jiu, the dental soldiers on the boat were forced to dive into the water one after another. Army boat opponents.

In the middle of the river, a few Wuchang army clippers who had discovered that something was wrong and chased after them were shot by the prepared Zhou army sharpshooters and suffered heavy casualties before they arrived.

Wang Jiu and the others made great achievements, exerted [-]% of their strength, held He Jingzhu hostage, and ran to Yuezhou.

. . . .

Zhang Tie originally wanted to see He Jingzhu, but before He Jingzhu arrived in Yuezhou, he tore his hair, tore his clothes, and covered his face to show that he didn't see anyone, so Zhang Tie didn't make fun of himself.

Not everyone in this world likes to hug their thighs.

After thinking about it again and again, Zhang Tie still gave He Jingzhu a certain degree of decency.

He sent the eloquent Li Fang to reprimand He Jingzhu for taking in Gao Baoxu and conspiring to seize Yuezhou, and then ordered He Jingzhu to be the Dezhou military supervisor. In fact, he planned to imprison He Jingzhu in Kaifeng Prefecture, Tokyo for a period of time .

After He Jingzhu got the appointment, he neither accepted nor rejected it, but he still agreed to send a letter in his own handwriting to have someone take him back to Ezhou, bring back more than [-] members of his family, and ask his confidants to escort Gao Baoxu and others to Yuezhou.

. . . .

In the second year of Shaoming, 947 A.D., on the fourteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, Zhang Ting took a large number of treasures and rode [-] horses. He set off from Yueyang Mansion and returned to Jiangling Mansion upstream.

As soon as he arrived outside the city, Ma Zhaoyuan (Ma Yaozi) who came out of the city to greet him brought an important news to Zhang Tie.

That is, after another four or five months of struggle, Gao Conghui, Jing Wang of the Nanping Kingdom, was completely dead.

At this moment, Gao Conghui had someone carry him to the Yamen of Jingnan Jiedu Envoy Office, hoping to see Zhang Tie.

After Zhang Tie heard this, he immediately led five hundred relatives and rushed into Jiangling city with light clothes.

Unlike the second generation like Ma Xie, Ma Xiguang, and Li Jing, Gao Conghui, who bears the reputation of Gao Laizi, but is quite slick, can still get some respect from Zhang Tie.

When Zhang Ting arrived, Gao Conghui was carried over by the shoulders, and Zhang Ting almost didn't recognize him. Although Gao Conghui had a sick face when he left, he didn't lose his shape.

But now, Gao Congjiao looked haggard, almost completely out of human form, as if all the water in his body was about to be drained.

Seeing Zhang Ting coming, the two brothers Gao Baorong and Gao Baoyin were weeping beside Gao Conghui, Zhang Ting was furious and yelled at them.

"It's already this time, what are you still worried about? Why didn't you bring King Jing into the mansion earlier in such a cold weather? Do you remember the kindness of mother, father, and father?"

The two hurriedly carried Gao Conghui into the house by themselves, and Gao Conghui on the shoulder heard Zhang Ting's voice, a gleam of brilliance appeared on his face like withered bark, and his eyes were half closed all the time. It's not that muddy look, but it has a bit of expression on the contrary.

"If you dare to ask the saint, can Southern Chu be regarded as peaceful?" Gao Conghui asked in a low voice.

Zhang Tie moved a brocade stool, sat beside Gao Conghui and nodded.

"King Laojing is worried, everything is going well, the traitorous thief Ma Xie was captured alive, and Ma Xichong has already been beheaded by someone himself."

Gao Conghui shook his head with difficulty, "King Ma Wumu is magnanimous and generous. He knows people and uses them well. He is really a great talent! It's a pity that Hunan is not a place where great things can be achieved."

"Ma Yin really wants to be the Lord of England!" Zhang Ting also nodded in agreement.

"You can't be considered a hero, you can only be regarded as a hero for a lifetime." Gao Conghui disagreed with Zhang Ting's words, he looked at Zhang Ting and said.

"Ma Yin's actions are far inferior to His Majesty. Your Majesty is the Holy Son of Heaven who was born in 500 years. The good days of the world are coming soon."

Saying that, Gao Conghui looked at Gao Baorong, "Sanlang, hand over the things to Your Majesty!"

Gao Baorong nodded quickly, and took out a bunch of things that looked like keys from his arms.

"Saint, there are three temples built by the Gao clan in Jingshan Mountain to the west of Jingmen City.

Under the three temples, there are dark vaults, each of which contains armor, knives and guns, gold and silver, etc., with a total of about [-] guan coins and two thousand sets of armor.

It was the treasure left by King Wuxin to the descendants of the Gao family to restore it. Now it is dedicated to the country and helps the saints to rule the world. "

Zhang Ting was speechless, this Gao family really belonged to thieves, not to mention blocking the road and robbing, but also hid such a treasure for himself.

Ok!Suddenly there was more than 8 yuan in money, and he got two thousand sets of armor, as well as countless swords, guns, swords and halberds, which is not bad. Of course, this also shows the complete surrender of the Gao family.

Here, before Zhang Tie made a statement, Gao Conghui suddenly became short of breath, his body twitched slightly, and after he almost lost his breath, Gao Conghui said quietly to Zhang Teng: "Your Majesty, I have no time too much!"

Well, Zhang Tie thought about it for half a second, and immediately understood. He looked at Gao Conghui and said, "I'm sure, King Jing please act according to the rules!"

A few turbid tears flowed from Gao Conghui's dim eyes. He asked Gao Baorong and Gao Baoyin to help him up, and personally kowtowed to Zhang Tie.

. . . .

On the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, Gao Congjiao surrendered to teach, and ordered Gao Baorong to take pictures of Nanping affairs, and to lead both internal and external soldiers and horses.

On the sixteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, Gao Baorong was ordered to take over the throne of Nanping.

Of course, all of this was carried out in the Jingnan Festival Office, it was just a ceremony.

Obtaining the inheritance right of Nanping, Gao Baorong immediately went out to Zhang Ting who lived in the palace in the north of the city.

Zhang Ting was in the palace, and Gao Baorong was conferred the titles of Jingwang, Jianxiao Taiwei, Jingnan Jiedu Envoy, Xia, Gui Erzhou Observation and Disposal Envoy, and Jiangling Prefecture Governor.

So far, the ruler of Nanping Jing Kingdom has finally changed from Gao Congjiao to Gao Baorong.

Gao Conghui was completely relieved that the little Nanping created by his father Gao Jixing was finally not lost in his hands.

On the eighteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, Gao Conghui, king of Jing, died of illness in the Yamen of Jingnan Jiedu Office.

On the second day, Gao Baorong, who had not yet started to deal with his father's funeral, came to see him, asked for the sacrifice of Natu, and resigned from the post of Jingnan Jiedushi.

Zhang Tie specially issued an order to comfort him, allowing him to come again after the first seven days.

On the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month, Gao Baorong asked to see him again. Zhang Tie summoned Gao Bao to join the meeting. Gao Baorong was removed from the official positions of the governor of Jiangling Prefecture, Hexia, and the inspector of Gui Erzhou. False title.

Gao Baorong was overjoyed, and immediately expressed that he would send Gao Conghui back to Zhili Shanzhou for burial, and Zhang Tie immediately agreed.

Before leaving, Gao Baorong asked Zhang Tie to pardon Gao Baoxu again.

Originally, Gao Conghui repeatedly asked Gao Baorong not to care about Gao Baoxu, so as not to disgust the emperor, but the good old Gao Baorong still couldn't hold back.

After careful consideration, Zhang Tie severely punished Gao Baoxu with ten sticks, executed Li Duan and others who had conspired with him, and dispatched Gao Baoxu three thousand miles to Shuofang to guard the border.

Then Gao Baorong left Nanping with the rest of the Gao clan.

23 years after the founding of the country, Nanping Kingdom, which was controlled by the Gao family for 40 years, no longer exists.
