Haisheng Mingdi

Chapter 231 Chaotian Que

When Wang Guangen returned to Dongcheng, his two brothers Wang Guangtai and Wang Chang came to meet him.

"Brother, where is the bird messenger?"

Wang Guangen wiped his forehead, and said with a chuckle, "This emissary is a bit interesting. Yiling Wen'anzhi was originally the Imperial Academy's sacrificial wine. He was in charge of all the young talents and scholars in the world. He is a first-class master. How dare he go alone?" A horse traveled [-] li through the Tartar-occupied area and came to Yunyang, that’s amazing.”

Wang Guangtai, who has a scar on his face, is tall and tall. His real name is Wang Guangxing. After his elder brother was recruited by Gao Doushu, he was also recruited by a letter from his elder brother. Later, he simply changed his name to Guangtai.

Of the three brothers, Guang En is brave and brave to fight, Guang Tai is resourceful, and the youngest Wang Chang is a fierce pioneer.

"This Lu Jianguo looks amazing. It must not be easy for a reclusive Confucian to come here alone." Wang Guangtai wondered.

"It's really not easy. We also gave us Yunyang 20 taels of silver and grain and grass, but we need to take care of it ourselves."

After hearing that Wang Guangen was made the Earl of Yunyang, and he and Wang Chang were both made Earls and Viscounts, Wang Xingtai smiled and said, "The capital is really enough. Is this asking us to die? Is it calling our brothers?" To Qin Wang, or to fight Jingzhou?"

"No, Wen Dujian said that it is good for the state to let us guard Yunyang. If He Zhen in Hanzhong or Yang Wenfu in Xiangyang dare to send troops to reinforce Jingzhou or Wuchang, then we will send troops to support them. He also said that we should preserve our strength and recover as soon as possible. .”

"Hey, this Lujian Kingdom is many times better than Emperor Hongguang." Even Wang Chang could tell that the conditions were too good.

Wang Guangen also nodded, "I thought there was no hope for Da Ming at first, and I wondered if I had to find another way out. Now it seems that it is still unclear who belongs to this country. Maybe Da Ming's energy is not exhausted, and Wang Qi is in the southeast."

"Then won't we also become royal nobles in the future?" Wang En smirked.

Wang Guangtai was not so easy to believe, "The conditions are too good."

"Second brother, you are overly suspicious. When I was recruited by Gao Futai, didn't you also suspect that he wanted to lure us to surrender and then kill us? But later on, I won't be used by Gao Gong, so ah, I think it is credible. And you see that Li Guogao and others were recruited and reorganized into the Zhongzhen Camp, and the Ma Jin Zhongbu was reorganized into the Zhongwu Camp, so why can’t we reorganize it into the Zhongkai Camp?"

Guangtai said, "The rest of the Shun Army claims to have 30 troops, but our Yunyang Sixth Battalion only has about [-] remnants left. It's nothing to compare with."

"What about 30, what about [-], we insisted on defending this Yunyang for more than three years. At the beginning, Li Zicheng had a million soldiers, but he couldn't eat our Yunyang. This ability, this Lu Jianguo shouldn't think highly of it?"

Wang Changdao, who was tall and burly, but had a feverish brain and was a bit insensitive when he was young, "I think what the elder brother said is right, but the second brother is just suspicious. Brother, does Daming have a viscount, how many rank officials?"

"The duke earl is above the first rank, which is a super rank, so the viscount must be equivalent to the second rank, and the baron must be equivalent to the third rank." Wang Guangen is very satisfied with being an earl, and the earl of Daming is very valuable , Even before the fall of Chongzhen, there were not many seals.

I think Li Zicheng was so vigorous in the Central Plains back then, and he kept telling Emperor Chongzhen that he just wanted to be crowned king.

Of course, Lu Jianguo organized the Sixth Battalion of Yunyang and the surrounding troops into Zhongkai Town, and he was led by Admiral Wang Guangen, which made him more satisfied. Jingzhou and other Ming armies gathered from all walks of life, and one battalion was like a mountain top.

Although Wang Guangen is the commander-in-chief, the battalions did not fully obey his orders.Now, it is justifiable to integrate all battalions and unify dispatch.

"Brother, I think we should pay a visit to Wen Dujian."

"Well, Wen Anzhi is the supervising army sent by the superintendent of the country, so he really has to worship."

"Brother, it's best to ask Wen Dujian to write a thank you letter to Shao Tianxing for our brother, thanking the supervisor for the reward, and expressing our brother's absolute loyalty and support." Wang Guangtai said again.

Wang Guangen always listened to his brother's advice, so he collected some gifts and went to see him.

In the Yamen of Fuzhi in Yunyang, Wen Anzhi, Gao Douyun, and Xu Qiyuan were eating.

Yunyang has been under blockade for a long time, and there is a shortage of supplies. On the dining table is porridge made of sweet potatoes and some rice, and some dried salted fish.

This meal was originally invited by Xu Qiyuan, Yunyang Fuzhi, but Wen Anzhi said he was here to invite him, and in the end he got this sweet potato porridge and salted fish.

"There are two other good things, bestowed by Jian Guo, to share with Ergong."

Wen Anzhi took out two things, but they were a jar of Shaoxing rice wine and a piece of Ningbo rice cake, "Toast the rice cake, and drink this rice wine."

The things were not rare or valuable, but Gao and Xu couldn't help weeping when they saw the items sent thousands of miles away from the east of Zhejiang.

The two got up and went north to pay their respects.

The rice cake had just been cut into long strips and baked on the fire when the three brothers Wang Guangen came.

Seeing that Gao and Xu were there, Wang Guangen didn't mind, so he went up and put a large bag of gold and silver at Wen'an's feet, "A little gift is not a respect."

Gao Doushu couldn't help but said, "What's the matter?"

Wen Anzhi chuckled, "Although I am in charge of the army, I am not the one who is corrupt and extorts bribes. I am here to restore the honors and rejuvenate the Ming Dynasty together with you. Uncle Xiangyang please put away these yellow and white things and keep them for later." In the future, when the world is in peace, it’s also good to buy land in your hometown.”

"Mr. Wen doesn't think it's too little, and he doesn't have much. It's because the Tartars have blocked it for too long. We have all the money in our hands to buy grain. We sent people to Xiangyang, Nanyang, Jingzhou and other places to smuggle grain, and those **** profiteers took the opportunity to raise the price. , One stone of grain gets five taels of silver..."

"When Jingzhou and Wuchang are recovered, Yunyang will not be so embarrassed. You came just in time, and you are baking Ningbo rice cakes. This is a gift from the State Supervisor. Let's taste it together. There is also Shaoxing rice wine given by the State Supervisor."

Wang Guangtai didn't speak all the time, but just carefully observed Wen Anzhi secretly, looking at this world-renowned great master, he felt that this person was really magnificent.

I didn't put my eyes on the gold and silver at all.

While eating roasted rice cakes, Shaoxing rice wine, some sweet potato porridge with dried salted fish, the meal is really unique.

"The soldiers in Yunyang are really working too hard. We have to find a way to open up the situation as soon as possible. We can't just wait." Wen Anzhi said.

"Uncle Yunyang, you are now the imperial envoy, admiral Yunxiang, etc., contacting Yizhen in the Qinyu area, opening the camp with loyalty, and bearing the seal of General Wu of the town. You have been fighting Yunxiang for a long time, do you have any good suggestions?"

Wang Guangen grinned from the heat of the baked rice cakes, "When the soldiers come to block, the water comes and the soil floods, the battle is over."

Wen Anzhi chuckled.

"Du Jian, the general has an idea, please correct me." Wang Guangtai got up and saluted Wen Anzhi, and then said.

Wen Anzhi had a good impression of this very polite commander in chief, "Please tell me!"
