Haisheng Mingdi

Chapter 38
After breakfast, the whole army broke out.

Traveling by land and water, they went to Yin County, the prefectural city dozens of miles away.

Before departure, Zhu Yihai deliberately announced his new battalion system, including the newly set military salary, etc. The officers and soldiers of the battalions in Dinghai City had different reactions to this. Most of the officers were skeptical, thinking that Lu Jianguo could not change anything .

However, many low-level soldiers were very excited. In the past, they owed all kinds of wages and deducted all kinds of money.For example, if there are less than 30 days in a month, it will be deducted on a daily basis, and the monthly salary is obviously paid, but the result is still playing.Another example is the buttoning of friends, clothes, and even meals.

At this time, the Ming soldiers would have starved to death if they had not had the opportunity to rob or apportion food.

Jian Guo said that in the future, the real soldiers will be paid, and the officers will be given extra rations, and they will not be allowed to eat empty pay. Regardless of whether it can be done, at least it sounds very comfortable.

What's more, Jian Guo also announced that after arriving in Yin County, the first salary will be paid according to this new salary system.

So everyone is very active, although the sun is shining, but none of us procrastinates.

Wang Zhiren led the Fifth Army Battalion and the Three Thousand Battalion adapted from the original Zhenbiao, Zhu Yihai personally commanded the Banner Bearer Battalion, Wang Xiang commanded the Haimen Battalion, Wu Kai commanded the Shipu Battalion, and Shenji Battalion.

However, the battalions were basically dissatisfied with the reorganization. Fortunately, after a simple reorganization, all the old and weak were cleared out, and those with false names were also cleared.

Wang Mingqian led the Dinghai battalion to stay behind, and the second Yongwei battalion assisted in defense.

Zhu Yihai, Wang Zhiren, Zhang Mingzhen, Wang Xiang, Wu Kai and others led six battalions of men and horses to march northward by land and water, a total of more than [-] men and horses.

Zhu Yihai did not go up the river by boat, but rode along with the entire banner camp.

He used another identity in the Banner Bearer Battalion, Zhu Wu, Admiral of the Banner Bearer Battalion, although everyone knew that he was His Highness Jian Guo, but Zhu Yihai still insisted on doing so.

Riding a fairly docile war horse, wearing cotton armor, with two flintlock pistols in his waist, two three-eyed blunderbuss by the saddle, a bird blunderbuss on his back, and a Qi family knife, With various weapons such as shields, bows and arrows, Zhu Yihai is also very powerful.

Along the way, I did not forget to humbly ask Zhang Mingyang and other officers for some experience in marching and formation.

On the whole, the six battalions have a good number of soldiers and horses. They have to stop the whole team every half an hour or so, and have to rest for a while every hour. Basically, they can maintain the marching ranks, and there is no lagging behind, confusion, etc. Happening.

Even the soldiers and horses on the shore can respond to the soldiers and ships on the river.

The cavalry cavalry can support the infantry brigade.

The spirit of the whole army is also very good. Wang Zhiren, Zhang Mingzhen, Wu Kai, and Wang Pangping all have the confidence to go straight to Huanglong.

Zhu Yihai was not overly optimistic. If these 3000 troops were to meet the Qing army now, they probably wouldn't be able to get anything good.

After all, most of these soldiers and horses still hold spears and broadswords as weapons, and there are very few muskets and cannons.

However, Zhu Yihai was not pessimistic either. Anyway, he was actively running these days, at least he had already pulled up an army, right?
But within half a day, Yincheng, the prefectural city of Ningbo, was already in sight.

······
At this time in the Fucheng, Qian Sule and others have already issued a call to action, calling the people of the whole city to gather in the Town God's Temple.

Because Xie Sanbin met Zhang Mingbin, a Chinese military officer sent by Wang Zhiren yesterday, although he paid 100 taels of silver and several carts of food, wine, meat and food, he felt confident.

So I woke up early, took a shower and changed clothes, cleaned up very neatly, and even sent servants to invite other gentry and wealthy businessmen in the city to go together.

He fantasized about seeing Qian Sule and other rotten Confucian madmen fail, and even fantasized about being the governor of Zhejiang or even the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang with this achievement.

Although Wang Zhiren led the troops into the city, he must have suffered a lot of blood afterwards, but he will not pay the money by himself, even the 100 taels of silver yesterday, he has already written it down in his notebook, and it will be apportioned to the city at that time various.

You can even take this opportunity to make a fortune by yourself.

Isn't Xie Sanbin's million-dollar family wealth accumulated little by little?

When Xie Sanbin arrived in front of the Town God's Temple with his servants, Qian Sule and others had already arrived, and thousands of people had already gathered here.

The servant of the Xie family waved his stick to open the way and shouted loudly, "Mr. Xie is here, get out of the way!"

Many country gentry received the invitation and came here with some trepidation. When they saw Xie Sanbin coming, they all surrounded them, hoping that he would come to make up their minds and take control of the situation.

"Xie Gong, you can't let them mess around like this."

"If the time comes to annoy Beishuai and send a large army, we, the people in the city, will be miserable."

When Qian Sule heard that these gentry were so weak, he couldn't help being furious.

Leaning on crutches, he stepped forward and reprimanded them loudly, "The country has not yet perished, but you are determined to surrender to the thieves, and you are all thieves of the country!"

Xie Sanbin had his own support, so he scolded Qian Sule, "If you want to be your loyal minister, do it, why don't you want to die, and instead come here to make trouble, and insist on hurting the innocent?"

The student Dai Erhui stepped forward angrily, and raised his fist, "Xie Sanbin, you coward, you have been honored by the country, and you have to eat inside and out!"

Xie Jiajia Ding hurried forward to protect Xie Sanbin, and the scene was chaotic for a while.

Suddenly there were several gunshots.

The footsteps of the brigade came, and a group of people drove up in the distance.

He rode his horse and rushed to him, shouting, "General Wang Zongzhen, the general who suppressed the Japanese, has arrived!"

Xie Sanbin was overjoyed and hurried to take the lead to greet him.

And Qian Sule and others have seen Huaxia who came back, and know that things are going better than expected. Not only Wang Zhiren is loyal and loyal, but even Lu Jianguo has joined Dinghai King Zhiren's army.

So today everyone is confident.

For a moment, Xie Sanbin, Qian Sule and other people from both sides rushed to greet him.

As soon as Xie Sanbin saw Wang Zhiren, he said loudly, "Wang Zongzhen, Qian Sule and other rotten Confucians and fanatics gathered to rebel, please take them all quickly, just catch them all!"

Wang Zhiren stroked his beard.

"No hurry, everyone sit down first, I'm here today, and I'm going to introduce an important person to you first."

In front of the Town God's Temple, a lot of tables and chairs had been prepared, Xie Sanbin smiled and invited Wang Zhiren to sit on it.

But Wang Zhiren bowed respectfully and abdicated to a young man.

"Everyone, be quiet. I, Wang Zhiren, would like to introduce to you all now. This is His Royal Highness Lu Jianguo who was immediately enthroned by the gentry and common people in Taizhou."

As soon as these words came out, the smile on Xie Sanbin's face froze, and he stared at the young man, stunned on the spot.

But Qian Sule and others had already guessed that this person should be Lu Jianguo. As soon as Wang Zhiren introduced him, Qian Sule took the lead and bowed to the ground.

The excited Qian Sule even cried aloud.

"The minister Qian Sule is late to welcome you, and you will die!"

Lin Shiping and other sages and righteous men from Ningbo fell to the ground in great excitement.

Zhu Yihai looked at the black crowd and stood facing south.

He said in a loud voice, "In the past, my great ancestor, Emperor Gao, swept away the atmosphere of the group and unified the district. Emperor Wen of Chengzu established the capital of Yandu, and his power shook Huayi. Benevolence and righteousness are cultivated, and the relationship is heavy."

"When is the number of Dangyang Nine, when the Tartars come down from the sky? In the past, those who were alone in Jibei were deeply troubled, and now Jinling has the hatred of Nanyuan again."

"I'm lonely and sad, and I'm ashamed. I'm thinking about the same hatred, and I'm asking you to have aspirations."

"The day before yesterday in Taiwan, a group of subjects persuaded them to come in, until three times. They said that the captives invaded the south of the Yangtze River, and people have no firm will. The thief ministers had a knee-jerk discussion, and the whole country was ashamed to hide their faces. Looking at these words alone, I feel tears , Pain at the fall of the thread of reunification, and feel sad that there is no king in the world. I have no choice but to obey the public opinion and obey the supervision of the country."

"When I came to Ningbo today, I once again reiterated to the people of the world that I will personally raise the six divisions, respectfully ask for heaven, restore the emperor's house, drive out the Tartars, and save my ancestor's career.
Clean up the embers, restore the southern capital, Zhang Huang's Sixth Division, welcome back the jade, extract the emperor's spirit after the scatter, and save the people from the soup and fire! "

The crowd in front of the Town God's Temple was excited and their voices vibrated for nine days.

No one expected that a supervisor came to Ningbo City!

"My lords, be safe!"

Zhu Yihai pressed his hands empty to calm everyone down.

Then in front of everyone, I took a letter from Wang Zhiren and began to read it in public, but it was the letter written by Xie Sanbin to Wang Zhiren to quell the chaos with the help of troops.

"Xie Sanbin, you were originally a servant of the imperial court, Shaoqing, why are you so eager to betray the imperial court and your fellow villagers?"

Xie Sanbin never expected that such a result would happen today.

Wang Zhiren asked for an order, "Your Highness, please issue an order to cut down this traitor's sacrificial flag!"

As soon as he finished speaking, four servants walked out behind him, rushed over and knocked down Xie Sanbin's servants, picked up Xie Sanbin like an eagle catching a chicken, and threw him in front of Lu Jianguo.

Huaxia and other passionate righteous men shouted, "Kill the national traitor!"

"Kill the traitor!"

Xie Sanbin was so scared that his face turned pale, and he kowtowed repeatedly to Zhu Yihai, "Your Highness, spare your life, Your Highness, spare your life, this old slave is willing to donate ten thousand gold to help pay, to redeem the dog's life!"

Zhu Yihai looked past Xie Sanbin who was in a state of embarrassment, and looked at the group of Ningbo gentry behind him. These people from the big and famous families in Ningbo prefecture city felt a little bit sad when they saw Xie Sanbin.

They were originally unwilling to participate in Qian Sule's incident, and even sent letters to Hangzhou in the early morning or secretly, and even sent people to deliver gifts.

The rabbit dies and the fox is sad, no one wants to be Xie Sanbin's second.

A few old country gentry couldn't bear it, and boldly stood up to intercede for Xie Sanbin.

"Your Highness, expelling the Tartars requires more military pay. Please forgive Mr. Xie for a while, and allow him to atone for his crime?"

Someone took the lead, so more people stood up to intercede for him. They were actually interceding for themselves. If Xie Sanbin was not guilty, then they would be able to escape even more.

Zhu Yihai walked up to Xie Sanbin.

"Xie Sanbin, Gu Ye has heard of your name for a long time. You know Jiading County, and you have also benefited one side. You patrolled Shandong and helped suppress Donglai rebels. Your son died in the Jiashen State Rebellion and was loyal to the country. Even your ancestors There have been several loyal and virtuous ministers, why do you want to betray the country and the country with thieves?"

"Your Highness, please forgive me, I would like to donate ten thousand gold to help the salary." Xie Sanbin kowtowed like garlic.

Seeing Zhu Yihai staring at him coldly, he cruelly increased the price by another 1 taels.

But this only resulted in Zhu Yihai shaking his head in disdain.

"Originally I wanted to spare your dog's life, but you regarded Gu as a bargaining object. A dog has no country in its heart and no ruler in its eyes. What's the use of staying here?"

"Sword come!"

Zhu Yihai stretched out his right hand, and Wang Zhiren handed him his sword.

Seeing Zhu Yihai lift the sword, Xie Sanbin scrambled back in fright.

"Press that bastard!" Zhu Yihai said coldly.

Two generals, Wang Xiang and Wu Kai, stepped forward and each held down his arm.

Zhu Yihai raised his sword and walked forward slowly.

With a cold snort, the sword rises and falls.

Xie Sanbin screamed, his neck was cut in half, and blood spattered.

Zhu Yihai raised his sword and slashed several times, completely cutting off Xie Sanbin's head.

This scene shocked countless people.

Several of the squires who pleaded for Xie Sanbin just now sat on the ground in fright and became incontinent.

The common people who watched the excitement were extremely surprised, they didn't expect that the Lu Jianguo would behead Xie Sanbin with his own hands, and forcibly chopped off his head.

This is really a ruthless person.
