Daming Jingtai: I am the eternal benevolent king
Chapter 215: Who dares to kill me, Ou Xin, in an ambush?
Chapter 215: Who dares to kill me, Ou Xin, in an ambush?
"Dad!" Mrs. Zhou covered her mouth, not daring to cry.
All the ladies looked horrified.
Comparing one's feelings with others, King Mobei could be so cruel to Zhou Neng, so naturally he could be so cruel to their family members.
Moreover, Zhou Neng's grandson is still the prince.
The other ladies and their families are nothing!
King Mobei is crazy!
Zhou Neng was swinging on the ground, taking in less air and letting out more air.
Zhou Shou and Zhou Yu wanted to save him, but when they met Mobei Wang's solemn eyes, they could only lower their heads and cry.
Zhu Qizhen looked sideways.
Mrs. Zhou immediately lowered her head. All the ladies did not dare to look at him and knelt down with frightened expressions.
Zhu Qizhen looked at Xu Gan: "Drag him out!"
"King Mobei, would you like to ask the imperial physician for diagnosis and treatment?" Xu Gan pretended to be a nice guy.
"Drag out!"
Zhu Qizhen picked up the bowl on the ground: "Do you want to eat too?"
"This slave dare not eat it!"
Xu Gan kowtows: "I just want to save Commander Zhou, but I'm afraid he will die. I beg King Mobei to have mercy and let the imperial doctor diagnose and treat him."
"You can pretend to be a good person!"
Zhu Qizhen knew that this was all Xu Gan's acting: "You forced him to come here. It was you who deliberately stimulated me, and you drove me crazy!"
"The King of Mobei has wronged my servant." Xu Gan would naturally not admit it.
"Injustice?"
It’s me who should say that I was wronged!
Zhu Qizhen killed Zhou Neng, and his irritable mood calmed down a lot. He needed a pot to put on Xu Gan's head, so that he could continue to be a clean and good person.
This is his old routine.
If something goes wrong, just take the blame and tell the world that he is a good person.
Those who died for him were all moved by his "goodness".
Snapped!
Zhu Qizhen suddenly put the bowl on Xu Gan's face and pressed hard: "Eat it!"
Xu Gan finally felt the feeling of suffocation.
But his eyes were smiling.
The incompetence of Xiaomo Beiwang will only torture this slave like him!
Slaves are born low, so what if they are tortured?
You, the King of Mobei, are so noble, but you are reduced to torturing your slaves for fun. How sad?
Xu Gan is smiling.
The laughter muffled in the bowl sounded creepy.
"Eat it!" Zhu Qizhen looked visibly angry.
He needs someone to hand him a step up.
The problem is that no one gives it.
His concubines all lay on the ground without caring about his feelings.
Hey!
Xu Gan's creepy laughter came.
The laughter is out of breath!
Zhu Qizhen loosened his grip, not daring to really hold Xu Gan to death.
If he dared, Xu Gan would have died long ago.
Zhu Qizhen's second son, King De, immediately said: "Please, father, let Eunuch Xu go! Please, father, heal the commander of Zhou!"
The virtuous king Zhu Jianlin's mother was Mrs. Wan, and she was extremely favored.
"When will it be your kid's turn to dictate what I do?"
Zhu Qizhen pressed the bowl aggressively. Xu Gan really felt suffocated, but he squinted at Zhu Qizhen.
Zhu Qizhen felt a little creepy.
He threw down the bowl angrily: "For the sake of King De, I will let you go and get out!"
Xu Gan had a red mark on his mouth and his lips were in severe pain.
He respectfully thanked him, but said: "King Mobei, Commander Zhou has passed away!"
What do you say?
Zhu Qizhen looked sideways, and Zhou Neng stared at him with his eyes widened.
Zhou Shou and Zhou Yu burst into tears.
They were crying more about their future.
With the old man supporting the lintel, the Zhou family can still stand up, because after all, Zhou Neng is Mrs. Zhou's father and the prince's grandfather.
They are just younger brothers and uncles, so their relationship is naturally far apart.
"Dog eunuch, get out!"
Zhu Qizhen didn't want to mention this matter.
His good-guy persona cannot be broken down.
"King Mobei, although Commander Zhou's status is not high, he is also the prince's grandfather. He has passed away. He must be collected by the Zhou family."
Didn’t this king give in?
Zhu Qizhen forced out a smile: "Zhou Shou, Zhou Yu, you two can help the spirit out."
Just take the body out.
Zhou Shou and Zhou Yu only felt that King Mobei had a cold temperament.
However, the Zhou family went through life and death for this cold prince.
But ended up like this.
"That slave will meet with King Mobei tomorrow!" Xu Gan bit him to death. As long as Zhu Qizhen didn't let go, he would come every day.
Not only does he come, he also brings your father-in-law with him.
Anyway, your father-in-law has many people.
He glanced around, choosing King De's grandfather and uncle next.
King De's face turned pale.
Mrs. Wan almost fainted.
Mrs. Zhou laughed strangely: The way of heaven is reincarnation, but retribution is not good.
Opening the corner door, Xu Gan returned to the palace to report.
Along the way, he received many mocking looks, and he was so angry that he would visit Wanjia tomorrow.
And in the palace.
Zhu Qiyu was summoning Fan Guang.
Fan Guang arrived first.
As soon as I entered the capital, I immediately went to the palace to pay my respects.
"Fan Guang, I have to order you to return to Beijing."
Zhu Qiyu sighed. The situation in Hetao was very good. As long as Fan Guang survived for a few years, he would probably be awarded the title of Duke.
Now that he has been summoned to come back, I am afraid that the feudal lord may have to postpone it for a few years.
"I hope your Majesty will be relieved."
“It’s just past mid-October and it’s already snowing in the Hetao.”
"The snow came early this year, and there is no war to fight in Hetao. It's just the right time for Wei Chen to return to Beijing."
Fan Guang said respectfully: "Besides, I also miss Your Majesty."
"Haha, I miss you too."
"I can't sleep well without you in the capital."
Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "You fought very well in these battles in Hetao. Although you crippled the Ordos troops you recruited, it doesn't matter."
"As long as the Loop is stable, I can kill as many people as I want."
"There is a long way to go to transform the Mongols into Han people."
Fan Guang quickly thanked him.
He could tell with his toes that there would be verbal and written criticism of him in the court.
It must have been recommended by the emperor.
Besides, if generals perform great feats in battle, how can the central government reward them?
Just like Yue Fei and Han Shizhong, the former was pure and white, but died without a burial place; the latter was greedy for money and lust, but had a good death.
Yu Qian is Yue Fei, and Fan Guang is Han Shizhong.
"This year, I transferred all my confidants out of the capital."
"The Beijing Camp also plans to abolish it."
"But it doesn't work now. Without the guard of the capital, the capital lacks a barrier."
"You go to the capital camp and take charge of the capital camp for me."
Zhu Qiyu's eyes flickered: "Now that the capital has a large population, the food pressure must be extremely high."
"I'm worried that some lawless people will cause trouble in Gyeonggi."
"Winter is coming soon. If we drive people to other provinces at this time, we are forcing them to die."
"I can only spend the winter in the capital."
"The capital's food and firewood are under too much pressure."
Zhu Qiyu said: "You don't have to worry about these, I will arrange them properly."
"You just need to train the best soldiers for me."
"If something happens, you can suppress the rebellion for me and shock the capital."
"I will live up to your majesty's high expectations!" Fan Guang said impassionedly.
"Recruit some soldiers from civilians as appropriate, without delaying farming in other provinces. The number will be around 2."
"All equipped with new fire guns."
"Pinzi, I have provided enough for you."
"I will also keep the war horse for you."
"You must be able to ride and shoot, and be able to go to the battlefield."
"It must be a strong army with one against ten!"
There are too many war horses now.
The court built many horse farms outside the Great Wall and raised all the cattle, sheep and horses.
Mutton is supplied to the court.
"The humble minister obeys the decree!" Fan Guang knew the emperor well. The emperor only mentioned the general direction and how to implement specific actions, completely delegating power.
It was so comfortable to fight under such an emperor.
He fought many times in Hetao and was very outrageous, but the emperor never issued an order to reprimand him and completely delegated power.
The rewards are even more generous.
In this year, all the soldiers in the army had enough to eat, and they were all grateful to the emperor.
In the past, let alone the frontier army, it was the Beijing camp. How many soldiers could feed themselves?
Now, I have enough to eat, and I also have wages and silver rewards. If I die in the war, I will give the money to my family, and I am completely prosperous.
This is something I didn't even dare to think about before.
This is also the reason why the Ming army's combat effectiveness has soared.
In the past, we were always hungry when we fought. If we die in battle, we will have nothing. Who is willing to fight hard?
Fan Guang knew that Zhu Qiyu was still worried about dividing the land among the soldiers.
Not finished this year.
It must be fully promoted next year.
Therefore, the military's morale is towards His Majesty.
If His Majesty can give them a good life, he will naturally be willing to work for the Ming Dynasty.
"Come, I'll show you something good!" Zhu Qiyu handed Fan Guang the secret memorial presented by Xu Jue.
The memorial was curled, indicating that the emperor had read it countless times.
Fan Guang became more and more shocked as he watched: "Your Majesty, is this corn what you dreamed about?"
"Correct!"
"I am an immortal guiding the way."
"The three treasures of corn have been confirmed to be able to grow on the land of Liaoning."
"Liaoning is colder than Hetao."
"As long as we have enough seeds, the Loop is a treasure!"
“These three treasures can be grown not only in Hetao, but also in the entire Mobei.”
"Ten years from now, our Ming Dynasty will no longer be short of food!"
When mentioning this matter, Zhu Qiyu looked excited.
From the first time he handled government affairs, he was troubled by the problem of hunger.
The Ming Dynasty seemed strong, but in fact it was on the verge of starvation.
"Your Majesty, the ancestors must have manifested themselves and given such a treasure to the Ming Dynasty!" Fan Guang choked with sobs.
He knew very well how poor Loop was.
In summer, there is only enough to feed 20 people, but what about winter?What about disaster years?
Therefore, the abandonment of the Hetao is a historical necessity.
"There is a huge shortage of seeds now!"
Zhu Qiyu sighed: "We only have this much, and we want to plant it all over the country. I don't know if we have to wait until the year of the monkey and the moon of the horse!"
"Your Majesty, don't worry, we have been waiting for thousands of years, hundreds of years, at least these few years!"
Fan Guang said seriously: "As long as we can grow food in Mobei, I am willing to drive west for Your Majesty, reopen the Western Region, and regain the Mongolian and Yuan territory!"
He kowtowed solemnly.
"it is good!"
Zhu Qiyu helped him up: "Fan Guang, if I live, I can conquer the whole world; if I live, you warriors will always be able to use your strength!"
Fan Guang trembled and quickly knelt down: "Long live your Majesty, long live, long live, long live!"
"So I sent you back!"
"Someone wants me to die!"
Zhu Qiyu's eyes were fierce: "As an emperor, in order to continue the Ming Dynasty and let the people live a good life, I have offended the interests of too many people, so they want me to die!"
Fan Guang prostrated on the ground and spoke in a high voice:
"This world belongs to Ming Dynasty, and it belongs to His Majesty!"
"Whoever dares to curse His Majesty will be led by a small army to massacre his nine tribes!"
"I swear to protect your majesty to the death!"
He knew that something big must have happened if the emperor suddenly ordered him to return to Beijing.
"stand up!"
"While I am alive, all officials in the court who want to do practical things will have the opportunity to show their talents."
"As long as I live, the Ming Dynasty will become a true heavenly kingdom!"
"As long as I live, this world belongs to me!"
Zhu Qiyu just couldn't explain it clearly.
This is a contest.
Only if he wins this time will he be the real emperor.
"We will follow your majesty to the death!" Fan Guang was the emperor's loyal supporter and he had no choice.
In fact, all the ministers were forced to side with the emperor.
No matter how the emperor suppressed him before, as long as he is an honorable minister, he must defend the emperor.
"By decree, Fan Guang is appointed governor of the capital, Feng Xiao is appointed admiral eunuch, and governor of all the troops in the capital."
Zhu Qiyu put his safety completely in Fan Guang's hands.
"Thank you, Your Majesty Long En!"
And in Guangdong.
The weather in October is still hot.
Ouxin appeared in Zhaoqing.
He was very frustrated along the way.
The food did arrive, but it was only old rice. After eating it, I felt upset, many native soldiers died on the road, and Ou Xin also fell seriously ill.
He questioned the government along the way and received a very helpless answer, saying that Guangdong was short of food.
But is Guangdong really short of food?
Xinyi County, Chen Zhong purchasing grain.
He's from Annan!
He bought grain and returned to Annan!
The Ming Dynasty did not have enough food to eat, but it was sold to the Annan people!
Is it funny?
What Ou Xin recovered was all new food.
The prefect of Zhaoqing was named Lin Hao, and he was a Jinshi in the eighth year of Xuande's reign.
Because a large number of Guangxi troops were crossing the border, Zhaoqing was short of food, so he thought of a way to replace old food with new food.
These days, people will definitely have no food to eat at home.
But things were different in the homes of the gentry. In some homes, there were mountains of old grain, and they would rather feed the rats than distribute it to the common people.
Lin Hao exchanged new grain for old grain and made a fortune.
Transfer the Chen Liang to Ou Xin.
He also wrote to Ou Xin, telling him that there was no chieftain in Zhaoqing Prefecture, so there was no need to bother him.
"Master Fu, the Guangdong general sent me his name and wants to see you." A servant came to report.
Lin Hao was stunned, which Guangdong general?
Then I remembered it was Ou Xin.
"Then let's invite him to come over and talk about it." Lin Hao originally planned to listen to the music, but today a Jiangnan oiran came and he wanted to taste it.
He thought it was a pity and walked to the government office.
He dressed simply and did not live in a big house in Zhaoqing. Instead, he lived in the backyard of the government office with only a few dilapidated houses.
His wife often complained to him, saying that even a magistrate lived in a big house with a certain amount of money, but you, a majestic person in the house, lived in such a bad house, and she would not have the dignity to go out.
What do women know, that swaggering through the streets is a long-term solution?
If you have money and don't bribe officials, how can you get promoted?
Lin Hao went out to meet Ou Xin.
Ou Xin's attitude was respectful, and Lin Hao was very satisfied.
The civil servants had good ears and eyesight. The emperor seemed to have dismissed Ou Xin from his post, but still asked him to lead the army, which showed that Jian was in the emperor's heart.
He also wants to build relationships.
"Lord Fu Zun, let me tell you straight away, it's Chen Mi's business..."
Lin Hao interrupted Ou Xin: "General Ou, this matter is not under my control. This is an order from the Chief Envoy, and there is nothing I can do about it."
Ou Xin smiled and said: "Please listen to what I have to say!"
Lin Hao was stunned.
"With 20 troops in Guangdong, the cost is huge, and I know it well."
"So I am here to visit. I want to ask the Lord of the Palace to report to the Chief Envoy of Guangdong, Lord Hou, to supply our army with food. Just use old rice."
“No need to waste new rice.”
Ou Xin's words would make Lin Hao unstoppable.
The problem is that the grain transported by the chief envoy is all new rice, where can we get the old rice?
If you don’t believe me, go check Changpingcang. If there’s even a grain of grain in it, I’ll lose!
Landlords and rich people have piles of rice and grain in their homes.
This is called hiding rice from the people.
This is wisdom.
"Is this what Ou Shen said out of anger?" Lin Hao was really confused.
"Of course not. I'm new here and don't understand the rules of officialdom."
"No, because of the Xinyi magistrate matter, he was deprived of his official position by the central government."
"People have learned to behave themselves."
Ou Xin kept his posture very low and took out a banknote from his sleeve pocket: "So I want to learn from Mr. Fu Zun."
1 taels!
Lin Hao swallowed his saliva, wanting it.
This Ou Xin is too generous.
"This is?"
"My thoughts."
Ou Xin smiled and said: "Although I am a young man, I still know how to seek some benefits for myself."
In other words, I am also greedy.
The natives may seem poor, but with so many villages destroyed, there must be no shortage of gold and silver.
Lin Hao really doesn't know how to do it anymore, and he doesn't know whether he should accept it or not.
He was a poor prefect. He could earn 3 to [-] taels of silver a year, which was not enough to give gifts, so he served as a prefect for a few years. It would be difficult for him to take another step forward.
On the one hand, there is no one in the government, and the more reason is that there are few bribes.
If you want to be more greedy, you have to go to Fufu Mansion. But when you go to Fufu Mansion, you have to use money. Only by using a lot can you get a good job.
"Please accept it, sir." Ou Xin stuffed it into his hand.
Lin Hao wanted to give it back to Ou Xin, but he couldn't bear it, but he still gritted his teeth and stuffed it back into Ou Xin's hand.
Ou Xin was surprised: "Sir, are you too young?"
"No reward for no merit, what's the matter with General Ou Shen?"
Lin Hao wanted it.
But he has to get involved with Ou Xin.
To put it bluntly, it is just dragging people down and collaborating with others so that they will not be reported.
Ou Xin smiled: "Of course I have something to ask for."
"One, I accidentally hurt the magistrate of Xinyi County, and I feel very sorry for it, so I want to resolve the grudges."
"Both of them also want to find a way to resume their official positions."
"After all, Guangdong is different from Guangxi. I am a military general and can fight, but I am inferior in politics."
Ou Xin bowed to the end: "So I'm here to throw stones and ask for directions."
Lin Hao suddenly realized, stared at the bank note and swallowed his saliva.
Ou Xin offered it with both hands.
Lin Hao accepted it and immediately showed a friendly smile: "Let my wife prepare a table of delicious food, and you and I will chat while we eat."
"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey."
Lin Hao also summoned all the officials from Zhaoqing Mansion to have a toast.
Ou Xin had a very good drinking capacity and got Lin Hao drunk. Most of the officials were knocked down by Ou Xin, and the rest were also drunk.
Ou Xin's head was also in a daze. The scholar was weak, but he drank so hard.
It was late at night before Ou Xin rode out of the city.
Originally, the city gate could not be opened, but a servant from Lin Hao's family said hello. This trivial matter was nothing.
All officials from Zhaoqing Prefecture will stay overnight at Ou Xin.
Ou Xin said that the military camp could not live without people and insisted on leaving the city.
Return to the simple camp.
Ou Xin washed his face, sobered up, and saw He Wei coming in: "How was the investigation?"
"I understand everything."
"The grain shipped from Guangzhou is half new and half old."
"The new grain that was shipped was exchanged with the local gentry and they ate the price difference."
"They are all old grains that are more than ten years old."
“It’s weird if you don’t feel bad after eating it!”
He Wei also washed his face, it was too hot today.
He also fell seriously ill, and the ten years of old food was like a rat competing for food. "Half of the old grain?" Ou Xin was surprised.
"It must have been done by Guangzhou Prefecture."
What this means is that when the goods came out of the Guangzhou treasury, all the new grain was credited to the account. As a result, half of the new grain was replaced, and the money went into someone's pocket.
The remaining half is allocated to Zhaoqing Mansion.
But Lin Hao was ruthless and greedy.
Normally, he wouldn't be able to share much profit, after all, he has to leave a little head for Ou Xin.
Finally, mix the new rice and old rice together.
There is also corruption at every level in the army. When it reaches the mouths of the soldiers at the bottom, there is probably only a bowl of porridge left.
However, the emperor issued decrees several times that the soldiers must be fed and corruption was not allowed in the army.
He, Ou Xin, wanted to gain credit, not to get more money, and his family was not short of money.
Therefore, he remained motionless and no one in the army dared to move.
If the top doesn't move and the bottom moves, that's courting death.
Only when the top and bottom are greedy together is true greed.
Ou Xin nodded: "Which landowners are involved?"
"It hasn't been confirmed yet, but the landlords in Zhaoqing, Gaoyao, Sihui, Xinxing, and Gaoming counties are all involved."
He Wei asked him: "Why do you have to go to such trouble? Either arrest him or submit a letter to His Majesty."
"No, His Majesty is far away in the capital, beyond our reach."
Ou Xin sneered: "Besides, why bother Your Majesty with this trivial matter?"
"What do you want to do?" He Wei asked.
"are you tired?"
He Wei smiled bitterly: "Are you not tired? I walk every day and my legs are getting thinner."
"Ha, you can talk so well. Are you just not tired?"
The corners of Ou Xin's lips turned up: "Catch the thief and the dirt. We will take action tonight. You will show the way. I will personally lead the army to clean up Zhaoqing!"
"what?"
He Wei was frightened: "Purge Zhaoqing now? Is it too early?"
"Your Majesty is so kind to you, how should I repay you?"
Ou Xin said sternly: "Your Majesty wants the sky to be clear and clear, then Ou Xin is your Majesty's pawn. He will never give up! Go to war!"
He immediately went out and counted 2000 people.
The reason why 2000 people were chosen was because the 20-strong army had no weapons.
The court was obviously on guard against the natives.
The natives were not given enough equipment, only wolves.
The Guangxi army is all like this. The Han soldiers have fire blunderbuss and waist knives, while the natives only have wolves.
Ou Xin selected two thousand elites, half of whom were natives.
Riding out of camp.
Ou Xin got the advantage of getting Zhaoqing Prefecture's prefect, Tongzhi, Tongpan, and other officials drunk. The cavalry left the camp without anyone stopping them.
The Huang family closest to Wei Tiao.
There are three major surnames in Zhaoqing, the largest is the Huang family, which has produced two Jinshi, and the oldest official served as a minister.
The Huang family's land stretches across the three counties of Zhaoqing, Gaoyao and Sihui.
Not to mention the business, it won’t be small.
However, the Huang family is a scholarly family, with two senior officials and more than a dozen scholars.
He also opened a bookstore in the county seat.
Support poor students.
In fact, it is to invest in capable students but from poor families.
If he succeeds in the exam, he will marry his legitimate daughter to him and make him his son-in-law; if he is a scholar, he will marry his legitimate daughter to him, in short, he will become one of his own.
This is an old trick used by landlords and wealthy people to control the discourse.
Bang!
Ou Xin led his troops and kicked open the door of Huang's mansion.
This place is called Huangjia Town, adjacent to Zhaoqing and Gaoyao, and built on the water.
The cavalry broke into the house.
The servants holding the open fire were frightened.
I thought they were robbers, but I found out that they were all wearing official clothes.
These days, soldiers are no different than robbers. Wherever the soldiers go, they cause harm.
The Huang family servants thought Ou Xin was asking for money.
Call on the people to stop the soldiers.
"All killed!"
Ou Xin was too lazy to talk nonsense.
The musketeer fires the musket, and the crossbow shoots the arrow.
In an instant, hundreds of people fell in a pool of blood.
This is the regular army!
Before the servant died, his eyes flashed with mourning.
The sound of the gun scared the Huang family.
Ou Xin sent people in to arrest him.
Mr. Huang looked confused and was dragged out of the house by the soldiers.
"How many Mr. Huang have we arrested?" Ou Xin joked with He Wei.
There are many people with the surname Huang in Guangdong.
"Friend, I'm Huang Jue, in what year did you do this?" Huang Jue was shocked when he saw the blood in the yard.
"I am the acting Guangdong Counselor General, Ou Xin!"
Ou Xin said coldly: "Don't be too close, I'm not your friend!"
Candidates in the same year will call each other friends.
Huang Jue's expression changed: "General Ou, Ou Shen?"
"Do you know me?"
Ou Xin dismounted, put the riding crop on his waistband, and grabbed Huang Jue's hair: "Then you should know what I am here to do?"
"I don't know if I am a late student!" Huang Jue is a civil servant, but he is also afraid of soldiers who look like bandits.
When a scholar meets a soldier, there is no reason to explain it.
Snapped!
Ou Xin took a few steps back, pulled out his riding crop, and slapped him hard on the face: "I'll give you a chance to tell yourself why I'm here?"
A whip mark appeared on Huang Jue's face, and he grinned in pain: "My lord is an official of the imperial court, how can you break into your house at night..."
"what!"
Before he could finish his words, a young man was shot dead with a gun.
That is Huang Jue's son.
Huang Jue's body softened and he lay on the ground: "Sir, please spare my life!"
"Say!"
Ou Xin raised his gun again, this time at Huang Jue: "This is your last chance. Do you want your whole family to die?"
"It's Chen Mi's business!"
Huang Jue gave up everything.
His family used old rice and replaced it with new rice.
"But they were all bought by my family, and the government didn't miss a penny!" Huang Jue's implication was that Lin Hao was corrupt.
"Where is the granary?" Ou Xin asked.
"That's my family's food..."
Bang!
The gun went off, Huang Jue's eyes widened, and his chest was shot through.
People fell in pools of blood.
"Whoever answers will live!" Ou Xin was very courageous. The two words the emperor gave him were to let him make trouble in Guangdong as much as he wanted.
Jiangxi is half of the south of the Yangtze River, and it is not close to the sea. At most, it is connected with maritime merchants.
But Guangdong is different.
Guangdong is on the sea.
The emperor allowed Ou Xin to cause trouble in order to cause chaos in Guangdong, draw out all the maritime merchants, and kill them all!
The Guangdong army aimed its blunderbuss at the Huang family.
Someone immediately spat.
"Send someone back to take the food away as they said!"
Ou Xin glanced at the Huang family: "As for them, they are all taken into the military camp and no killing is allowed!"
He went to the second house.
This family's surname is Lu, and they started their business mainly through business.
Take pictures of cats and tigers.
Draw a scoop according to the gourd.
He didn't care about anything else. He was only responsible for transporting the new rice back to the camp and leaving a confession.
As for the rest, he didn't check or ask anything.
One night, more than a dozen gentry were served.
Chaos broke out in Zhaoqing early in the morning.
"What did you say?" Before Lin Hao sobered up, he heard the bad news like a bolt from the blue.
Ou Xin sent troops to torture Xin Mi from house to house.
"It's over!"
Lin Hao only felt that the sky was dark and the earth was dark, and it was completely over.
No matter how Ouxin will be dealt with.
His official title will definitely not be saved. Based on the emperor's ruthlessness, he will probably be executed by the Nine Tribes!
"My lord, it's better to take the risk!" Tongjian Chuzhen is his confidant.
Lin Hao was confused.
"Sir, if the central government investigates, you will be doomed." Chu Zhen is from Shaoxing and can be regarded as Lin Hao's master. After a little work, he became the sixth grade general judge.
Lin Hao jumped: "Mr. Chu, Your Majesty, will your Majesty kill my nine tribes?"
"Even lower officials can't escape!" Chu Zhen looked frightened.
"so what should I do now?"
"Take a risk!"
Chu Zhen looked fierce: "Kill Ou Xin, and then give gifts to the chief envoy. Please help cover it up, sir."
"Intercept and kill Ou Xin? Then Ou Xin has 20 troops in his hands, who can sacrifice his life for us?" Lin Hao felt that he had only one way to die.
"not necessarily!"
"Say quickly, stop talking in circles!" Lin Hao was anxious.
"Sir, Hailangsuo Qianhu is related to you by marriage."
That's right, Zhuang Fang, a Qianhu of Hailang, married his cousin and was considered his brother-in-law.
"Far water can't quench the near thirst. Zhuang Fang is in Hailang. Even if we send a message now, how many days will it take for him to come?"
Lin Hao shook his head: "Can we use the government army?"
"Sir, everyone in the city knows that Ou Xin is an official of the imperial court. Who dares to kill him?"
Chu Zhen said: "Sir, Zhuang Fang is actually in Lanke Mountain."
"what?"
Lin Hao was surprised: "How dare Zhuang Fang leave his post without permission? This is a matter of losing his head. Why did he go to Lankeshan?"
"Sir, don't ask so many whys now. It's up to you whether you want to go all-in or not?"
Chu Zhen's words were very provocative.
"I am destined to die anyway. I have no choice. I will follow your instructions and go to tune Zhuang Fang..."
"Don't worry, sir. Your subordinate will definitely persuade Zhuang Fang to lead his troops to attack Ou Xin!" Chu Zhen asked Lin Hao to write a personal letter and took away the official seal of the prefect.
Lin Hao was upset.
He stuck his head into the water tank and took it out for a long time to wake up.
Why is Zhuang Fang in Lankeshan?
Lanke Mountain is located in the south of Xinjiang, very close to Zhaoqing.
Why did Chu Zhen encourage him to kill officials and rebel?
What on earth is Chu Zhen going to do?
Lin Hao suddenly remembered that last night Chu Zhen kept helping Ou Xin to drink, and even hooked up with Ou Xin; the idea of exchanging new rice for old rice was also Chu Zhen's.
what happened?
And outside the city.
Ou Xin didn't sleep all night, and he was in high spirits.
He took the lead and kicked open the door of a mansion.
He Wei grabbed Ou Xin and said, "Brother Ou, you are the soul of the entire army."
"If anything happens, the entire army will be completely in chaos."
"So you should not take the lead, but hide among the troops and give orders."
"This is the way to be a general."
Hewei Na Xia Houyuan gave an example: "Xia Houyuan, the famous general of Cao Wei, took the lead in fighting, but he suffered losses on the battlefield."
"When fighting now, there is no need for generals to charge and kill."
He earnestly.
But Ou Xin couldn't listen: "Haha, brother's blood comes and goes. I'm used to it. The Lord of Hell doesn't dare to take my brother's life."
Ou Xin didn't take it seriously.
Lead the army in.
All the gentry north of Xinjiang were arrested.
New grain was also found.
This is Webster's at the foot of Lanke Mountain.
In Zhaoqing Mansion, Webster is very mysterious. No one knows what business Webster is doing, but his family is so rich that he is known as the richest man in Zhaoqing.
All the land from Xinjiang to Cangbu River has the surname Wei.
The head of the family, Wei Jie, did not enter an official career, but he was a guest of the prefect. Even the chief envoy of Guangdong had to give him three cents of noodles.
Such a business giant.
Very rare in Ming Dynasty.
Perhaps because Webster was too low-key, the emperor forced merchants from all over the world to come to Beijing. This Webster only sent a branch to Beijing, and his own clan did not go.
The court doesn't know yet, but it can be said that he has great magical powers.
In Webster's Cunning Rabbit's Three Caves, Ou Xin broke through four towns and conquered twelve mansions, but still could not find Wei Jie.
The Wei family's servants are powerful in combat and are not afraid of death.
call out!call out!call out!
The moment I broke into this house.
Countless arrows and crossbows instantly turned the horse Ou Xin was riding into a hedgehog.
Ou Xin was hit by an arrow in the leg.
But the arrows kept coming. Even if Ou Xin hung behind his horse and used his horse to block the arrows, countless arrows would still hit him.
An arrow shot from the side where Ou Xin was hiding.
Ou Xin caught it with his peripheral vision and wanted to hide, but the arrow rain from the opposite side was too fierce.
If you turn over, you will be instantly shot into a hedgehog.
He has no way out.
Can't dodge either.
laugh!
The arrow pierced the chest, and the blood flowed freely.
"Brother He!" Ou Xin's eyes widened.
Unexpectedly, at the critical moment, He Wei suddenly rushed over and helped him block an arrow!
It was Hewei who helped Ou Xin block the arrow.
"Don't move, I'll help you block it!" He Wei's voice was broken.
shhhhhh!
Countless arrows instantly turned He Wei into a hedgehog.
"Brother Ou, you must put your own safety first. You are a commander, not a general. You cannot lead the way!"
"Remember, don't fight stupid battles, put your own safety first!"
"Guangdong cannot live without you Ou Xin. If you die, there will be chaos in Guangdong and Guangxi. Destruction is easy but construction is difficult. Guangdong cannot live in chaos!"
"Someone is planning to kill you, which means they are afraid. You have touched their interests..."
"Brother Ou, hold on, don't be ashamed of His Majesty's kindness!"
He Wei said intermittently: "The Ming Dynasty can live without He Wei, but it cannot live without you Ou Xin!"
"You, when you see His Majesty one day, tell Your Majesty that Wei and I are worthy of His Majesty and the Ming Dynasty!"
"I... deserved to die!"
He Wei lost his breath.
However, the person is still standing.
Block countless arrows for Ou Xin.
Ou Xin's eyes were blood red: "Here comes someone! Kill them! Kill them!"
Unprecedented anger overwhelmed Ou Xin's mind.
Ou Xin looked like he was crazy.
Pfft!
When the war horse fell, he rolled and avoided the horse's torso, otherwise he would be smashed into pulp.
Ou Xin drew out his sword and fired his bow left and right to block the arrows.
He really underestimated the enemy.
Because it was too hot, I didn't wear armor.
He was the first to kick open the door of the house and lead the way.
For the sake of pleasure, he disregarded his own safety.
He is so stupid for putting Guangdong in dire straits!
As a result, the enemy took advantage of his weakness and took the opportunity to shoot him!
"Brother He, Brother He!" Ou Xin burst into tears when he saw He Wei who was still standing.
He slapped himself hard twice!
It’s all my fault for not listening to advice!
You are stupid!Just fell into the trap!
"Master General!"
The subordinate came to report: "The people who shot the arrows were all masked men and have been withdrawn."
"Everyone ran away?" Ou Xin's eyes were bloodshot.
"Sir, there are no survivors, all the survivors have escaped!"
Ou Xin gritted his teeth: "Okay, if someone wants to kill me Ou Xin, I, Ou Xin, will wait here to see who dares to kill me!"
He slowly smoothed Hewei's eyes and let him close them.
"Brother He, I will take care of your wife."
"You are right. I have touched their interests. I have checked it correctly!"
"I will repay your kindness with death!"
"When I meet you, I will tell you your Majesty's feats before your death."
"Your revenge has caused Yuqiongbi to fall into hell. I, Ou, swear to avenge you!"
Ou Xin stood up, regardless of the injury on his leg: "Catch everyone in this house and interrogate them one by one!"
He looked at Lanke Mountain, which towered into the clouds.
"Check, check to the end!"
In Zhaoqing, Lin Hao heard that Ou Xin had mobilized troops from the camp and led more than [-] troops to speed up the cleanup of the farms near Lanke Mountain.
When Lin Hao heard about Lan Keshan, he jumped all over.
"What happened?"
"I heard that He Wei died, and he died to save Ou Shen."
Lin Hao's face turned pale. It's over. An army of [-] people. The more natives there are, the more terrifying they are.
The natives don't care who lives or lives.
They just want to rob.
It shows that Ou Xin is furious and does not care about the life and death of the gentry in Zhaoqing Prefecture.
Zhuang Fang sent people to ambush Ou Xin's secret, I'm afraid he can't keep it a secret.
Lankeshan.
Three days have passed, but Ou Xin has never smiled again.
He has been drinking.
The doctor advised him not to drink alcohol. Drinking alcohol would be harmful to the body and not conducive to wound healing.
But Ou Xin didn't listen.
He was very decadent and his eyes were filled with murderous light: "Where is Wei Jie?"
"Return to my lord, we haven't been caught yet!"
"All the Wei family members will be captured by this officer! Capture them and I will personally interrogate them!"
Ou Xin stood up.
The soldiers wanted to help him, but he pushed them away.
Limping to the back house.
It's a nice big house, the front hall is normal, but the back house is filled with screams, completely forming a execution ground.
They were all people caught within the Wei family's sphere of influence.
"Tell me, where is Wei Jie?"
He was attacked in the Wei family's house.
And the house was still empty, indicating that it was a carefully planned trap.
For this trap, they used twelve houses to create a false impression for Ou Xin and deliberately lured Ou Xin into taking the bait.
This house's surname is Wei, so it must be closely related to the Wei family.
He didn't care that he was assassinated.
But Hewei is dead!
He died to save him, and he vowed not to be a human being unless he avenged his death.
"You have such a tough mouth, kid."
Ou Xin looked at a young man, but this man was dark and thin, and smelled of the sea. He looked like someone who was making a living at sea.
"I'll ask you again, where is Wei Jie?" Ou Xin asked again.
"hey-hey!"
The young man, who was covered in injuries, smiled strangely at Ou Xin, and then spat a mouthful of bloody phlegm on Ou Xin's face.
Ou Xin directly burned him with a hot iron.
But he kept laughing.
I don't care at all.
This is a desperado. How could there be such a person in Wei Jie's family?
There was more than one, Cunning Rabbit Three Caves, and such people were caught from many houses.
It just shows that this Wei family has a problem, a big problem.
"What a tough guy!"
Ou Xin was also happy: "I have a lot of experience in dealing with tough guys like you."
It’s not that he doesn’t know how to torture people, it’s that he doesn’t bother to torture people.

(End of this chapter)
"Dad!" Mrs. Zhou covered her mouth, not daring to cry.
All the ladies looked horrified.
Comparing one's feelings with others, King Mobei could be so cruel to Zhou Neng, so naturally he could be so cruel to their family members.
Moreover, Zhou Neng's grandson is still the prince.
The other ladies and their families are nothing!
King Mobei is crazy!
Zhou Neng was swinging on the ground, taking in less air and letting out more air.
Zhou Shou and Zhou Yu wanted to save him, but when they met Mobei Wang's solemn eyes, they could only lower their heads and cry.
Zhu Qizhen looked sideways.
Mrs. Zhou immediately lowered her head. All the ladies did not dare to look at him and knelt down with frightened expressions.
Zhu Qizhen looked at Xu Gan: "Drag him out!"
"King Mobei, would you like to ask the imperial physician for diagnosis and treatment?" Xu Gan pretended to be a nice guy.
"Drag out!"
Zhu Qizhen picked up the bowl on the ground: "Do you want to eat too?"
"This slave dare not eat it!"
Xu Gan kowtows: "I just want to save Commander Zhou, but I'm afraid he will die. I beg King Mobei to have mercy and let the imperial doctor diagnose and treat him."
"You can pretend to be a good person!"
Zhu Qizhen knew that this was all Xu Gan's acting: "You forced him to come here. It was you who deliberately stimulated me, and you drove me crazy!"
"The King of Mobei has wronged my servant." Xu Gan would naturally not admit it.
"Injustice?"
It’s me who should say that I was wronged!
Zhu Qizhen killed Zhou Neng, and his irritable mood calmed down a lot. He needed a pot to put on Xu Gan's head, so that he could continue to be a clean and good person.
This is his old routine.
If something goes wrong, just take the blame and tell the world that he is a good person.
Those who died for him were all moved by his "goodness".
Snapped!
Zhu Qizhen suddenly put the bowl on Xu Gan's face and pressed hard: "Eat it!"
Xu Gan finally felt the feeling of suffocation.
But his eyes were smiling.
The incompetence of Xiaomo Beiwang will only torture this slave like him!
Slaves are born low, so what if they are tortured?
You, the King of Mobei, are so noble, but you are reduced to torturing your slaves for fun. How sad?
Xu Gan is smiling.
The laughter muffled in the bowl sounded creepy.
"Eat it!" Zhu Qizhen looked visibly angry.
He needs someone to hand him a step up.
The problem is that no one gives it.
His concubines all lay on the ground without caring about his feelings.
Hey!
Xu Gan's creepy laughter came.
The laughter is out of breath!
Zhu Qizhen loosened his grip, not daring to really hold Xu Gan to death.
If he dared, Xu Gan would have died long ago.
Zhu Qizhen's second son, King De, immediately said: "Please, father, let Eunuch Xu go! Please, father, heal the commander of Zhou!"
The virtuous king Zhu Jianlin's mother was Mrs. Wan, and she was extremely favored.
"When will it be your kid's turn to dictate what I do?"
Zhu Qizhen pressed the bowl aggressively. Xu Gan really felt suffocated, but he squinted at Zhu Qizhen.
Zhu Qizhen felt a little creepy.
He threw down the bowl angrily: "For the sake of King De, I will let you go and get out!"
Xu Gan had a red mark on his mouth and his lips were in severe pain.
He respectfully thanked him, but said: "King Mobei, Commander Zhou has passed away!"
What do you say?
Zhu Qizhen looked sideways, and Zhou Neng stared at him with his eyes widened.
Zhou Shou and Zhou Yu burst into tears.
They were crying more about their future.
With the old man supporting the lintel, the Zhou family can still stand up, because after all, Zhou Neng is Mrs. Zhou's father and the prince's grandfather.
They are just younger brothers and uncles, so their relationship is naturally far apart.
"Dog eunuch, get out!"
Zhu Qizhen didn't want to mention this matter.
His good-guy persona cannot be broken down.
"King Mobei, although Commander Zhou's status is not high, he is also the prince's grandfather. He has passed away. He must be collected by the Zhou family."
Didn’t this king give in?
Zhu Qizhen forced out a smile: "Zhou Shou, Zhou Yu, you two can help the spirit out."
Just take the body out.
Zhou Shou and Zhou Yu only felt that King Mobei had a cold temperament.
However, the Zhou family went through life and death for this cold prince.
But ended up like this.
"That slave will meet with King Mobei tomorrow!" Xu Gan bit him to death. As long as Zhu Qizhen didn't let go, he would come every day.
Not only does he come, he also brings your father-in-law with him.
Anyway, your father-in-law has many people.
He glanced around, choosing King De's grandfather and uncle next.
King De's face turned pale.
Mrs. Wan almost fainted.
Mrs. Zhou laughed strangely: The way of heaven is reincarnation, but retribution is not good.
Opening the corner door, Xu Gan returned to the palace to report.
Along the way, he received many mocking looks, and he was so angry that he would visit Wanjia tomorrow.
And in the palace.
Zhu Qiyu was summoning Fan Guang.
Fan Guang arrived first.
As soon as I entered the capital, I immediately went to the palace to pay my respects.
"Fan Guang, I have to order you to return to Beijing."
Zhu Qiyu sighed. The situation in Hetao was very good. As long as Fan Guang survived for a few years, he would probably be awarded the title of Duke.
Now that he has been summoned to come back, I am afraid that the feudal lord may have to postpone it for a few years.
"I hope your Majesty will be relieved."
“It’s just past mid-October and it’s already snowing in the Hetao.”
"The snow came early this year, and there is no war to fight in Hetao. It's just the right time for Wei Chen to return to Beijing."
Fan Guang said respectfully: "Besides, I also miss Your Majesty."
"Haha, I miss you too."
"I can't sleep well without you in the capital."
Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "You fought very well in these battles in Hetao. Although you crippled the Ordos troops you recruited, it doesn't matter."
"As long as the Loop is stable, I can kill as many people as I want."
"There is a long way to go to transform the Mongols into Han people."
Fan Guang quickly thanked him.
He could tell with his toes that there would be verbal and written criticism of him in the court.
It must have been recommended by the emperor.
Besides, if generals perform great feats in battle, how can the central government reward them?
Just like Yue Fei and Han Shizhong, the former was pure and white, but died without a burial place; the latter was greedy for money and lust, but had a good death.
Yu Qian is Yue Fei, and Fan Guang is Han Shizhong.
"This year, I transferred all my confidants out of the capital."
"The Beijing Camp also plans to abolish it."
"But it doesn't work now. Without the guard of the capital, the capital lacks a barrier."
"You go to the capital camp and take charge of the capital camp for me."
Zhu Qiyu's eyes flickered: "Now that the capital has a large population, the food pressure must be extremely high."
"I'm worried that some lawless people will cause trouble in Gyeonggi."
"Winter is coming soon. If we drive people to other provinces at this time, we are forcing them to die."
"I can only spend the winter in the capital."
"The capital's food and firewood are under too much pressure."
Zhu Qiyu said: "You don't have to worry about these, I will arrange them properly."
"You just need to train the best soldiers for me."
"If something happens, you can suppress the rebellion for me and shock the capital."
"I will live up to your majesty's high expectations!" Fan Guang said impassionedly.
"Recruit some soldiers from civilians as appropriate, without delaying farming in other provinces. The number will be around 2."
"All equipped with new fire guns."
"Pinzi, I have provided enough for you."
"I will also keep the war horse for you."
"You must be able to ride and shoot, and be able to go to the battlefield."
"It must be a strong army with one against ten!"
There are too many war horses now.
The court built many horse farms outside the Great Wall and raised all the cattle, sheep and horses.
Mutton is supplied to the court.
"The humble minister obeys the decree!" Fan Guang knew the emperor well. The emperor only mentioned the general direction and how to implement specific actions, completely delegating power.
It was so comfortable to fight under such an emperor.
He fought many times in Hetao and was very outrageous, but the emperor never issued an order to reprimand him and completely delegated power.
The rewards are even more generous.
In this year, all the soldiers in the army had enough to eat, and they were all grateful to the emperor.
In the past, let alone the frontier army, it was the Beijing camp. How many soldiers could feed themselves?
Now, I have enough to eat, and I also have wages and silver rewards. If I die in the war, I will give the money to my family, and I am completely prosperous.
This is something I didn't even dare to think about before.
This is also the reason why the Ming army's combat effectiveness has soared.
In the past, we were always hungry when we fought. If we die in battle, we will have nothing. Who is willing to fight hard?
Fan Guang knew that Zhu Qiyu was still worried about dividing the land among the soldiers.
Not finished this year.
It must be fully promoted next year.
Therefore, the military's morale is towards His Majesty.
If His Majesty can give them a good life, he will naturally be willing to work for the Ming Dynasty.
"Come, I'll show you something good!" Zhu Qiyu handed Fan Guang the secret memorial presented by Xu Jue.
The memorial was curled, indicating that the emperor had read it countless times.
Fan Guang became more and more shocked as he watched: "Your Majesty, is this corn what you dreamed about?"
"Correct!"
"I am an immortal guiding the way."
"The three treasures of corn have been confirmed to be able to grow on the land of Liaoning."
"Liaoning is colder than Hetao."
"As long as we have enough seeds, the Loop is a treasure!"
“These three treasures can be grown not only in Hetao, but also in the entire Mobei.”
"Ten years from now, our Ming Dynasty will no longer be short of food!"
When mentioning this matter, Zhu Qiyu looked excited.
From the first time he handled government affairs, he was troubled by the problem of hunger.
The Ming Dynasty seemed strong, but in fact it was on the verge of starvation.
"Your Majesty, the ancestors must have manifested themselves and given such a treasure to the Ming Dynasty!" Fan Guang choked with sobs.
He knew very well how poor Loop was.
In summer, there is only enough to feed 20 people, but what about winter?What about disaster years?
Therefore, the abandonment of the Hetao is a historical necessity.
"There is a huge shortage of seeds now!"
Zhu Qiyu sighed: "We only have this much, and we want to plant it all over the country. I don't know if we have to wait until the year of the monkey and the moon of the horse!"
"Your Majesty, don't worry, we have been waiting for thousands of years, hundreds of years, at least these few years!"
Fan Guang said seriously: "As long as we can grow food in Mobei, I am willing to drive west for Your Majesty, reopen the Western Region, and regain the Mongolian and Yuan territory!"
He kowtowed solemnly.
"it is good!"
Zhu Qiyu helped him up: "Fan Guang, if I live, I can conquer the whole world; if I live, you warriors will always be able to use your strength!"
Fan Guang trembled and quickly knelt down: "Long live your Majesty, long live, long live, long live!"
"So I sent you back!"
"Someone wants me to die!"
Zhu Qiyu's eyes were fierce: "As an emperor, in order to continue the Ming Dynasty and let the people live a good life, I have offended the interests of too many people, so they want me to die!"
Fan Guang prostrated on the ground and spoke in a high voice:
"This world belongs to Ming Dynasty, and it belongs to His Majesty!"
"Whoever dares to curse His Majesty will be led by a small army to massacre his nine tribes!"
"I swear to protect your majesty to the death!"
He knew that something big must have happened if the emperor suddenly ordered him to return to Beijing.
"stand up!"
"While I am alive, all officials in the court who want to do practical things will have the opportunity to show their talents."
"As long as I live, the Ming Dynasty will become a true heavenly kingdom!"
"As long as I live, this world belongs to me!"
Zhu Qiyu just couldn't explain it clearly.
This is a contest.
Only if he wins this time will he be the real emperor.
"We will follow your majesty to the death!" Fan Guang was the emperor's loyal supporter and he had no choice.
In fact, all the ministers were forced to side with the emperor.
No matter how the emperor suppressed him before, as long as he is an honorable minister, he must defend the emperor.
"By decree, Fan Guang is appointed governor of the capital, Feng Xiao is appointed admiral eunuch, and governor of all the troops in the capital."
Zhu Qiyu put his safety completely in Fan Guang's hands.
"Thank you, Your Majesty Long En!"
And in Guangdong.
The weather in October is still hot.
Ouxin appeared in Zhaoqing.
He was very frustrated along the way.
The food did arrive, but it was only old rice. After eating it, I felt upset, many native soldiers died on the road, and Ou Xin also fell seriously ill.
He questioned the government along the way and received a very helpless answer, saying that Guangdong was short of food.
But is Guangdong really short of food?
Xinyi County, Chen Zhong purchasing grain.
He's from Annan!
He bought grain and returned to Annan!
The Ming Dynasty did not have enough food to eat, but it was sold to the Annan people!
Is it funny?
What Ou Xin recovered was all new food.
The prefect of Zhaoqing was named Lin Hao, and he was a Jinshi in the eighth year of Xuande's reign.
Because a large number of Guangxi troops were crossing the border, Zhaoqing was short of food, so he thought of a way to replace old food with new food.
These days, people will definitely have no food to eat at home.
But things were different in the homes of the gentry. In some homes, there were mountains of old grain, and they would rather feed the rats than distribute it to the common people.
Lin Hao exchanged new grain for old grain and made a fortune.
Transfer the Chen Liang to Ou Xin.
He also wrote to Ou Xin, telling him that there was no chieftain in Zhaoqing Prefecture, so there was no need to bother him.
"Master Fu, the Guangdong general sent me his name and wants to see you." A servant came to report.
Lin Hao was stunned, which Guangdong general?
Then I remembered it was Ou Xin.
"Then let's invite him to come over and talk about it." Lin Hao originally planned to listen to the music, but today a Jiangnan oiran came and he wanted to taste it.
He thought it was a pity and walked to the government office.
He dressed simply and did not live in a big house in Zhaoqing. Instead, he lived in the backyard of the government office with only a few dilapidated houses.
His wife often complained to him, saying that even a magistrate lived in a big house with a certain amount of money, but you, a majestic person in the house, lived in such a bad house, and she would not have the dignity to go out.
What do women know, that swaggering through the streets is a long-term solution?
If you have money and don't bribe officials, how can you get promoted?
Lin Hao went out to meet Ou Xin.
Ou Xin's attitude was respectful, and Lin Hao was very satisfied.
The civil servants had good ears and eyesight. The emperor seemed to have dismissed Ou Xin from his post, but still asked him to lead the army, which showed that Jian was in the emperor's heart.
He also wants to build relationships.
"Lord Fu Zun, let me tell you straight away, it's Chen Mi's business..."
Lin Hao interrupted Ou Xin: "General Ou, this matter is not under my control. This is an order from the Chief Envoy, and there is nothing I can do about it."
Ou Xin smiled and said: "Please listen to what I have to say!"
Lin Hao was stunned.
"With 20 troops in Guangdong, the cost is huge, and I know it well."
"So I am here to visit. I want to ask the Lord of the Palace to report to the Chief Envoy of Guangdong, Lord Hou, to supply our army with food. Just use old rice."
“No need to waste new rice.”
Ou Xin's words would make Lin Hao unstoppable.
The problem is that the grain transported by the chief envoy is all new rice, where can we get the old rice?
If you don’t believe me, go check Changpingcang. If there’s even a grain of grain in it, I’ll lose!
Landlords and rich people have piles of rice and grain in their homes.
This is called hiding rice from the people.
This is wisdom.
"Is this what Ou Shen said out of anger?" Lin Hao was really confused.
"Of course not. I'm new here and don't understand the rules of officialdom."
"No, because of the Xinyi magistrate matter, he was deprived of his official position by the central government."
"People have learned to behave themselves."
Ou Xin kept his posture very low and took out a banknote from his sleeve pocket: "So I want to learn from Mr. Fu Zun."
1 taels!
Lin Hao swallowed his saliva, wanting it.
This Ou Xin is too generous.
"This is?"
"My thoughts."
Ou Xin smiled and said: "Although I am a young man, I still know how to seek some benefits for myself."
In other words, I am also greedy.
The natives may seem poor, but with so many villages destroyed, there must be no shortage of gold and silver.
Lin Hao really doesn't know how to do it anymore, and he doesn't know whether he should accept it or not.
He was a poor prefect. He could earn 3 to [-] taels of silver a year, which was not enough to give gifts, so he served as a prefect for a few years. It would be difficult for him to take another step forward.
On the one hand, there is no one in the government, and the more reason is that there are few bribes.
If you want to be more greedy, you have to go to Fufu Mansion. But when you go to Fufu Mansion, you have to use money. Only by using a lot can you get a good job.
"Please accept it, sir." Ou Xin stuffed it into his hand.
Lin Hao wanted to give it back to Ou Xin, but he couldn't bear it, but he still gritted his teeth and stuffed it back into Ou Xin's hand.
Ou Xin was surprised: "Sir, are you too young?"
"No reward for no merit, what's the matter with General Ou Shen?"
Lin Hao wanted it.
But he has to get involved with Ou Xin.
To put it bluntly, it is just dragging people down and collaborating with others so that they will not be reported.
Ou Xin smiled: "Of course I have something to ask for."
"One, I accidentally hurt the magistrate of Xinyi County, and I feel very sorry for it, so I want to resolve the grudges."
"Both of them also want to find a way to resume their official positions."
"After all, Guangdong is different from Guangxi. I am a military general and can fight, but I am inferior in politics."
Ou Xin bowed to the end: "So I'm here to throw stones and ask for directions."
Lin Hao suddenly realized, stared at the bank note and swallowed his saliva.
Ou Xin offered it with both hands.
Lin Hao accepted it and immediately showed a friendly smile: "Let my wife prepare a table of delicious food, and you and I will chat while we eat."
"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey."
Lin Hao also summoned all the officials from Zhaoqing Mansion to have a toast.
Ou Xin had a very good drinking capacity and got Lin Hao drunk. Most of the officials were knocked down by Ou Xin, and the rest were also drunk.
Ou Xin's head was also in a daze. The scholar was weak, but he drank so hard.
It was late at night before Ou Xin rode out of the city.
Originally, the city gate could not be opened, but a servant from Lin Hao's family said hello. This trivial matter was nothing.
All officials from Zhaoqing Prefecture will stay overnight at Ou Xin.
Ou Xin said that the military camp could not live without people and insisted on leaving the city.
Return to the simple camp.
Ou Xin washed his face, sobered up, and saw He Wei coming in: "How was the investigation?"
"I understand everything."
"The grain shipped from Guangzhou is half new and half old."
"The new grain that was shipped was exchanged with the local gentry and they ate the price difference."
"They are all old grains that are more than ten years old."
“It’s weird if you don’t feel bad after eating it!”
He Wei also washed his face, it was too hot today.
He also fell seriously ill, and the ten years of old food was like a rat competing for food. "Half of the old grain?" Ou Xin was surprised.
"It must have been done by Guangzhou Prefecture."
What this means is that when the goods came out of the Guangzhou treasury, all the new grain was credited to the account. As a result, half of the new grain was replaced, and the money went into someone's pocket.
The remaining half is allocated to Zhaoqing Mansion.
But Lin Hao was ruthless and greedy.
Normally, he wouldn't be able to share much profit, after all, he has to leave a little head for Ou Xin.
Finally, mix the new rice and old rice together.
There is also corruption at every level in the army. When it reaches the mouths of the soldiers at the bottom, there is probably only a bowl of porridge left.
However, the emperor issued decrees several times that the soldiers must be fed and corruption was not allowed in the army.
He, Ou Xin, wanted to gain credit, not to get more money, and his family was not short of money.
Therefore, he remained motionless and no one in the army dared to move.
If the top doesn't move and the bottom moves, that's courting death.
Only when the top and bottom are greedy together is true greed.
Ou Xin nodded: "Which landowners are involved?"
"It hasn't been confirmed yet, but the landlords in Zhaoqing, Gaoyao, Sihui, Xinxing, and Gaoming counties are all involved."
He Wei asked him: "Why do you have to go to such trouble? Either arrest him or submit a letter to His Majesty."
"No, His Majesty is far away in the capital, beyond our reach."
Ou Xin sneered: "Besides, why bother Your Majesty with this trivial matter?"
"What do you want to do?" He Wei asked.
"are you tired?"
He Wei smiled bitterly: "Are you not tired? I walk every day and my legs are getting thinner."
"Ha, you can talk so well. Are you just not tired?"
The corners of Ou Xin's lips turned up: "Catch the thief and the dirt. We will take action tonight. You will show the way. I will personally lead the army to clean up Zhaoqing!"
"what?"
He Wei was frightened: "Purge Zhaoqing now? Is it too early?"
"Your Majesty is so kind to you, how should I repay you?"
Ou Xin said sternly: "Your Majesty wants the sky to be clear and clear, then Ou Xin is your Majesty's pawn. He will never give up! Go to war!"
He immediately went out and counted 2000 people.
The reason why 2000 people were chosen was because the 20-strong army had no weapons.
The court was obviously on guard against the natives.
The natives were not given enough equipment, only wolves.
The Guangxi army is all like this. The Han soldiers have fire blunderbuss and waist knives, while the natives only have wolves.
Ou Xin selected two thousand elites, half of whom were natives.
Riding out of camp.
Ou Xin got the advantage of getting Zhaoqing Prefecture's prefect, Tongzhi, Tongpan, and other officials drunk. The cavalry left the camp without anyone stopping them.
The Huang family closest to Wei Tiao.
There are three major surnames in Zhaoqing, the largest is the Huang family, which has produced two Jinshi, and the oldest official served as a minister.
The Huang family's land stretches across the three counties of Zhaoqing, Gaoyao and Sihui.
Not to mention the business, it won’t be small.
However, the Huang family is a scholarly family, with two senior officials and more than a dozen scholars.
He also opened a bookstore in the county seat.
Support poor students.
In fact, it is to invest in capable students but from poor families.
If he succeeds in the exam, he will marry his legitimate daughter to him and make him his son-in-law; if he is a scholar, he will marry his legitimate daughter to him, in short, he will become one of his own.
This is an old trick used by landlords and wealthy people to control the discourse.
Bang!
Ou Xin led his troops and kicked open the door of Huang's mansion.
This place is called Huangjia Town, adjacent to Zhaoqing and Gaoyao, and built on the water.
The cavalry broke into the house.
The servants holding the open fire were frightened.
I thought they were robbers, but I found out that they were all wearing official clothes.
These days, soldiers are no different than robbers. Wherever the soldiers go, they cause harm.
The Huang family servants thought Ou Xin was asking for money.
Call on the people to stop the soldiers.
"All killed!"
Ou Xin was too lazy to talk nonsense.
The musketeer fires the musket, and the crossbow shoots the arrow.
In an instant, hundreds of people fell in a pool of blood.
This is the regular army!
Before the servant died, his eyes flashed with mourning.
The sound of the gun scared the Huang family.
Ou Xin sent people in to arrest him.
Mr. Huang looked confused and was dragged out of the house by the soldiers.
"How many Mr. Huang have we arrested?" Ou Xin joked with He Wei.
There are many people with the surname Huang in Guangdong.
"Friend, I'm Huang Jue, in what year did you do this?" Huang Jue was shocked when he saw the blood in the yard.
"I am the acting Guangdong Counselor General, Ou Xin!"
Ou Xin said coldly: "Don't be too close, I'm not your friend!"
Candidates in the same year will call each other friends.
Huang Jue's expression changed: "General Ou, Ou Shen?"
"Do you know me?"
Ou Xin dismounted, put the riding crop on his waistband, and grabbed Huang Jue's hair: "Then you should know what I am here to do?"
"I don't know if I am a late student!" Huang Jue is a civil servant, but he is also afraid of soldiers who look like bandits.
When a scholar meets a soldier, there is no reason to explain it.
Snapped!
Ou Xin took a few steps back, pulled out his riding crop, and slapped him hard on the face: "I'll give you a chance to tell yourself why I'm here?"
A whip mark appeared on Huang Jue's face, and he grinned in pain: "My lord is an official of the imperial court, how can you break into your house at night..."
"what!"
Before he could finish his words, a young man was shot dead with a gun.
That is Huang Jue's son.
Huang Jue's body softened and he lay on the ground: "Sir, please spare my life!"
"Say!"
Ou Xin raised his gun again, this time at Huang Jue: "This is your last chance. Do you want your whole family to die?"
"It's Chen Mi's business!"
Huang Jue gave up everything.
His family used old rice and replaced it with new rice.
"But they were all bought by my family, and the government didn't miss a penny!" Huang Jue's implication was that Lin Hao was corrupt.
"Where is the granary?" Ou Xin asked.
"That's my family's food..."
Bang!
The gun went off, Huang Jue's eyes widened, and his chest was shot through.
People fell in pools of blood.
"Whoever answers will live!" Ou Xin was very courageous. The two words the emperor gave him were to let him make trouble in Guangdong as much as he wanted.
Jiangxi is half of the south of the Yangtze River, and it is not close to the sea. At most, it is connected with maritime merchants.
But Guangdong is different.
Guangdong is on the sea.
The emperor allowed Ou Xin to cause trouble in order to cause chaos in Guangdong, draw out all the maritime merchants, and kill them all!
The Guangdong army aimed its blunderbuss at the Huang family.
Someone immediately spat.
"Send someone back to take the food away as they said!"
Ou Xin glanced at the Huang family: "As for them, they are all taken into the military camp and no killing is allowed!"
He went to the second house.
This family's surname is Lu, and they started their business mainly through business.
Take pictures of cats and tigers.
Draw a scoop according to the gourd.
He didn't care about anything else. He was only responsible for transporting the new rice back to the camp and leaving a confession.
As for the rest, he didn't check or ask anything.
One night, more than a dozen gentry were served.
Chaos broke out in Zhaoqing early in the morning.
"What did you say?" Before Lin Hao sobered up, he heard the bad news like a bolt from the blue.
Ou Xin sent troops to torture Xin Mi from house to house.
"It's over!"
Lin Hao only felt that the sky was dark and the earth was dark, and it was completely over.
No matter how Ouxin will be dealt with.
His official title will definitely not be saved. Based on the emperor's ruthlessness, he will probably be executed by the Nine Tribes!
"My lord, it's better to take the risk!" Tongjian Chuzhen is his confidant.
Lin Hao was confused.
"Sir, if the central government investigates, you will be doomed." Chu Zhen is from Shaoxing and can be regarded as Lin Hao's master. After a little work, he became the sixth grade general judge.
Lin Hao jumped: "Mr. Chu, Your Majesty, will your Majesty kill my nine tribes?"
"Even lower officials can't escape!" Chu Zhen looked frightened.
"so what should I do now?"
"Take a risk!"
Chu Zhen looked fierce: "Kill Ou Xin, and then give gifts to the chief envoy. Please help cover it up, sir."
"Intercept and kill Ou Xin? Then Ou Xin has 20 troops in his hands, who can sacrifice his life for us?" Lin Hao felt that he had only one way to die.
"not necessarily!"
"Say quickly, stop talking in circles!" Lin Hao was anxious.
"Sir, Hailangsuo Qianhu is related to you by marriage."
That's right, Zhuang Fang, a Qianhu of Hailang, married his cousin and was considered his brother-in-law.
"Far water can't quench the near thirst. Zhuang Fang is in Hailang. Even if we send a message now, how many days will it take for him to come?"
Lin Hao shook his head: "Can we use the government army?"
"Sir, everyone in the city knows that Ou Xin is an official of the imperial court. Who dares to kill him?"
Chu Zhen said: "Sir, Zhuang Fang is actually in Lanke Mountain."
"what?"
Lin Hao was surprised: "How dare Zhuang Fang leave his post without permission? This is a matter of losing his head. Why did he go to Lankeshan?"
"Sir, don't ask so many whys now. It's up to you whether you want to go all-in or not?"
Chu Zhen's words were very provocative.
"I am destined to die anyway. I have no choice. I will follow your instructions and go to tune Zhuang Fang..."
"Don't worry, sir. Your subordinate will definitely persuade Zhuang Fang to lead his troops to attack Ou Xin!" Chu Zhen asked Lin Hao to write a personal letter and took away the official seal of the prefect.
Lin Hao was upset.
He stuck his head into the water tank and took it out for a long time to wake up.
Why is Zhuang Fang in Lankeshan?
Lanke Mountain is located in the south of Xinjiang, very close to Zhaoqing.
Why did Chu Zhen encourage him to kill officials and rebel?
What on earth is Chu Zhen going to do?
Lin Hao suddenly remembered that last night Chu Zhen kept helping Ou Xin to drink, and even hooked up with Ou Xin; the idea of exchanging new rice for old rice was also Chu Zhen's.
what happened?
And outside the city.
Ou Xin didn't sleep all night, and he was in high spirits.
He took the lead and kicked open the door of a mansion.
He Wei grabbed Ou Xin and said, "Brother Ou, you are the soul of the entire army."
"If anything happens, the entire army will be completely in chaos."
"So you should not take the lead, but hide among the troops and give orders."
"This is the way to be a general."
Hewei Na Xia Houyuan gave an example: "Xia Houyuan, the famous general of Cao Wei, took the lead in fighting, but he suffered losses on the battlefield."
"When fighting now, there is no need for generals to charge and kill."
He earnestly.
But Ou Xin couldn't listen: "Haha, brother's blood comes and goes. I'm used to it. The Lord of Hell doesn't dare to take my brother's life."
Ou Xin didn't take it seriously.
Lead the army in.
All the gentry north of Xinjiang were arrested.
New grain was also found.
This is Webster's at the foot of Lanke Mountain.
In Zhaoqing Mansion, Webster is very mysterious. No one knows what business Webster is doing, but his family is so rich that he is known as the richest man in Zhaoqing.
All the land from Xinjiang to Cangbu River has the surname Wei.
The head of the family, Wei Jie, did not enter an official career, but he was a guest of the prefect. Even the chief envoy of Guangdong had to give him three cents of noodles.
Such a business giant.
Very rare in Ming Dynasty.
Perhaps because Webster was too low-key, the emperor forced merchants from all over the world to come to Beijing. This Webster only sent a branch to Beijing, and his own clan did not go.
The court doesn't know yet, but it can be said that he has great magical powers.
In Webster's Cunning Rabbit's Three Caves, Ou Xin broke through four towns and conquered twelve mansions, but still could not find Wei Jie.
The Wei family's servants are powerful in combat and are not afraid of death.
call out!call out!call out!
The moment I broke into this house.
Countless arrows and crossbows instantly turned the horse Ou Xin was riding into a hedgehog.
Ou Xin was hit by an arrow in the leg.
But the arrows kept coming. Even if Ou Xin hung behind his horse and used his horse to block the arrows, countless arrows would still hit him.
An arrow shot from the side where Ou Xin was hiding.
Ou Xin caught it with his peripheral vision and wanted to hide, but the arrow rain from the opposite side was too fierce.
If you turn over, you will be instantly shot into a hedgehog.
He has no way out.
Can't dodge either.
laugh!
The arrow pierced the chest, and the blood flowed freely.
"Brother He!" Ou Xin's eyes widened.
Unexpectedly, at the critical moment, He Wei suddenly rushed over and helped him block an arrow!
It was Hewei who helped Ou Xin block the arrow.
"Don't move, I'll help you block it!" He Wei's voice was broken.
shhhhhh!
Countless arrows instantly turned He Wei into a hedgehog.
"Brother Ou, you must put your own safety first. You are a commander, not a general. You cannot lead the way!"
"Remember, don't fight stupid battles, put your own safety first!"
"Guangdong cannot live without you Ou Xin. If you die, there will be chaos in Guangdong and Guangxi. Destruction is easy but construction is difficult. Guangdong cannot live in chaos!"
"Someone is planning to kill you, which means they are afraid. You have touched their interests..."
"Brother Ou, hold on, don't be ashamed of His Majesty's kindness!"
He Wei said intermittently: "The Ming Dynasty can live without He Wei, but it cannot live without you Ou Xin!"
"You, when you see His Majesty one day, tell Your Majesty that Wei and I are worthy of His Majesty and the Ming Dynasty!"
"I... deserved to die!"
He Wei lost his breath.
However, the person is still standing.
Block countless arrows for Ou Xin.
Ou Xin's eyes were blood red: "Here comes someone! Kill them! Kill them!"
Unprecedented anger overwhelmed Ou Xin's mind.
Ou Xin looked like he was crazy.
Pfft!
When the war horse fell, he rolled and avoided the horse's torso, otherwise he would be smashed into pulp.
Ou Xin drew out his sword and fired his bow left and right to block the arrows.
He really underestimated the enemy.
Because it was too hot, I didn't wear armor.
He was the first to kick open the door of the house and lead the way.
For the sake of pleasure, he disregarded his own safety.
He is so stupid for putting Guangdong in dire straits!
As a result, the enemy took advantage of his weakness and took the opportunity to shoot him!
"Brother He, Brother He!" Ou Xin burst into tears when he saw He Wei who was still standing.
He slapped himself hard twice!
It’s all my fault for not listening to advice!
You are stupid!Just fell into the trap!
"Master General!"
The subordinate came to report: "The people who shot the arrows were all masked men and have been withdrawn."
"Everyone ran away?" Ou Xin's eyes were bloodshot.
"Sir, there are no survivors, all the survivors have escaped!"
Ou Xin gritted his teeth: "Okay, if someone wants to kill me Ou Xin, I, Ou Xin, will wait here to see who dares to kill me!"
He slowly smoothed Hewei's eyes and let him close them.
"Brother He, I will take care of your wife."
"You are right. I have touched their interests. I have checked it correctly!"
"I will repay your kindness with death!"
"When I meet you, I will tell you your Majesty's feats before your death."
"Your revenge has caused Yuqiongbi to fall into hell. I, Ou, swear to avenge you!"
Ou Xin stood up, regardless of the injury on his leg: "Catch everyone in this house and interrogate them one by one!"
He looked at Lanke Mountain, which towered into the clouds.
"Check, check to the end!"
In Zhaoqing, Lin Hao heard that Ou Xin had mobilized troops from the camp and led more than [-] troops to speed up the cleanup of the farms near Lanke Mountain.
When Lin Hao heard about Lan Keshan, he jumped all over.
"What happened?"
"I heard that He Wei died, and he died to save Ou Shen."
Lin Hao's face turned pale. It's over. An army of [-] people. The more natives there are, the more terrifying they are.
The natives don't care who lives or lives.
They just want to rob.
It shows that Ou Xin is furious and does not care about the life and death of the gentry in Zhaoqing Prefecture.
Zhuang Fang sent people to ambush Ou Xin's secret, I'm afraid he can't keep it a secret.
Lankeshan.
Three days have passed, but Ou Xin has never smiled again.
He has been drinking.
The doctor advised him not to drink alcohol. Drinking alcohol would be harmful to the body and not conducive to wound healing.
But Ou Xin didn't listen.
He was very decadent and his eyes were filled with murderous light: "Where is Wei Jie?"
"Return to my lord, we haven't been caught yet!"
"All the Wei family members will be captured by this officer! Capture them and I will personally interrogate them!"
Ou Xin stood up.
The soldiers wanted to help him, but he pushed them away.
Limping to the back house.
It's a nice big house, the front hall is normal, but the back house is filled with screams, completely forming a execution ground.
They were all people caught within the Wei family's sphere of influence.
"Tell me, where is Wei Jie?"
He was attacked in the Wei family's house.
And the house was still empty, indicating that it was a carefully planned trap.
For this trap, they used twelve houses to create a false impression for Ou Xin and deliberately lured Ou Xin into taking the bait.
This house's surname is Wei, so it must be closely related to the Wei family.
He didn't care that he was assassinated.
But Hewei is dead!
He died to save him, and he vowed not to be a human being unless he avenged his death.
"You have such a tough mouth, kid."
Ou Xin looked at a young man, but this man was dark and thin, and smelled of the sea. He looked like someone who was making a living at sea.
"I'll ask you again, where is Wei Jie?" Ou Xin asked again.
"hey-hey!"
The young man, who was covered in injuries, smiled strangely at Ou Xin, and then spat a mouthful of bloody phlegm on Ou Xin's face.
Ou Xin directly burned him with a hot iron.
But he kept laughing.
I don't care at all.
This is a desperado. How could there be such a person in Wei Jie's family?
There was more than one, Cunning Rabbit Three Caves, and such people were caught from many houses.
It just shows that this Wei family has a problem, a big problem.
"What a tough guy!"
Ou Xin was also happy: "I have a lot of experience in dealing with tough guys like you."
It’s not that he doesn’t know how to torture people, it’s that he doesn’t bother to torture people.
