Legend of the Knight

Chapter 273
Because of the particularity of [Sheng Sheng Hua Dan], Huang Xiaoshi decided to go to Beijing with Huang San.

Huang San judged the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, thinking that Huang Xiaoshi wanted to take his credit, but because the magic pill must be activated by Huang Xiaoshi with the unique internal force of his sect before taking it, he had to hold his nose and admit it. .

Huang Xiaoshi didn't want to grab that little credit, he just wanted to go to the palace to see the emperor this time.

For some reason, Huang Xiaoshi felt that the crazy emperor might be easy to communicate with, and he wondered if he could talk to the emperor calmly about the succession of the throne if conditions permit.

The emperor only has two daughters, and even if he recovers from his illness, he will never be born again in this life.

Thinking about the relationship between Dongfang Weiming and Feng Chuixue, Huang Xiaoshi suddenly thought of a reasonable solution to the problem of succession to the throne.

Let Yan Yu's son marry the emperor's daughter and take charge of the country as a son-in-law.

In this way, the imperial power is still in his own hands, and the emperor should be satisfied; Chen Chongying will also be satisfied if he loses a substitute son and let the blood of the prince (Huang Xiaoshi) regain the country; After his identity is revealed, the ministers will also be satisfied; Yan Yu won the country for nothing, and married a little Bai Fumei loli, so he is naturally very satisfied.

The only one who suffers is King Cheng, and there is really no way to take care of it.

After the marriage, Huang Xiaoshi is not afraid of whether the emperor will go back on his word.

Huang Xiaoshi reckoned that even if the emperor was rescued, he might not live for too long, and he would live for another ten years.

Instead of being a moth again, he might as well fill in his own hole first, so as not to go to the bottom of Jiuquan and be surrounded and beaten by a group of old ancestors of his family.

As for how the world will be pacified after the Great War, the hostility in people's hearts should have been vented enough at that time.

After seeing too much blood, people's hearts will naturally feel stable.

People will feel that although the past hardships were difficult, at least they still have a life.

Under the knife, the man said that he was gone.

Better to die than to live.

Besides, the foreign aggression has been eliminated, and the emperor has freed up his hands to govern the country. As long as he doesn't have to think about building a spectacle or something, he should have the means and courage to resolve the previous problems.

After all, this is a ruthless character who dared to kill even the royal family when he first took the throne, and killed monkeys to show chickens. Land annexation is nothing, the big deal is to bury all those who are unwilling to give up their land in fertile fields. down.

……

After deciding to go to the capital, Huang Xiaoshi summoned his subordinates and announced a few things.

First, Shennong Baicaomen immediately began to organize people's bravery and practice more.

Second, there are no eunuchs or eunuchs in Luoyang. The people of Luoyang just want to live a good life. If King Cheng is sincerely on the side of the emperor, he should make a northern expedition instead of heading towards Luoyang.

Third, it’s fine if King Cheng’s army doesn’t enter Luoyang, and everyone will live in peace. If King Cheng wants to come to Luoyang to burn, kill and loot, he will be an enemy of Shennong Baicaomen.

Not only Luoyang Shennong Baicaomen, but Shennong Baicaomen all over the world are the enemies of King Cheng.

Huang Xiaoshi's words were not only for internal speeches, he also asked the caravan of Shennong Baicaomen to take their words with them wherever they went, that is to say, they were actually for King Cheng.

On the day of Huang Xiaoshi's speech, all the people in Luoyang City also knew about it, because Shennong Baicaomen started to mobilize the people.

All stockholders who have males in their homes will draw one for two, and two for three. After the draw, Shennong Baicaomen will form a formation and conduct unified training.

Luoyang Shennong Baicaomen's combat effectiveness is not as good as Chengdu's main gate, but it doesn't mean it is weak, it's just that there was no need for organization before.

When the people in Luoyang called the sky should not call the earth not working, someone jumped out to bear the head, and it was Shennong Baicaomen.

The people from Shennong Baicaomen have already said that if the rebels are allowed to invade Luoyang, not to mention whether they will kill people and set fire to them, this business will definitely not be able to continue.

At the end of the day, Shennong Baicaomen will not treat you badly, and help everyone get their shares back at 100 Wen per share.

As soon as these words came out, not only Luoyang, but the entire Heluo area was boiling.

Not to mention those poor families who sacrificed their lives to get a few shares and plan to pass them on to future generations, those rich families who have a lot of wealth and hold hundreds of shares also jumped up.

Is this a matter of 100 Wen?
However, Shennong Baicaomen has always issued shares according to 100 documents, and it is benevolent and righteous to withdraw the shares at the original price during the war.

But for those wealthy landowners who sold their land in exchange for shares, it was really fatal.

Now they have the money to pay, and the food to pay, and they are going to support Shennong Baicaomen with all their strength.

In just a few days, the Minyong of Shennong Baicaomen has recruited thousands of people, and everyone has a sense of mourning.

There are so many people here and there is no fuss. After all, Shennong Baicaomen has extremely rich experience in forming caravans, so it is enough to apply the original structure.

As for the coach, at the beginning Ji Wushuang, based on the attitude of disregarding public and private interests, pulled all the remaining elites of the Tianlong Sect in the Central Plains to Shennong Baicaomen.

On the other hand, it can be regarded as a good life for those old subordinates who are loyal to themselves.

Unexpectedly, these people will soon come in handy.

Tianlongjiao is originally a combination of military and education. For these elite disciples promoted from the grassroots, training recruits is a basic skill.

After these recruited minyongs have practiced, they may not be able to plunder land in field battles, but they are enough to defend the city, and they are still guarding the house.

The officials in Luoyang also heard Huang Xiaoshi's words. Although these words sounded a bit harsh, and he even said that he was in peace with the thieves, Huang Xiaoshi's attitude was obviously on the court's side.

For Luoyang civil and military officials who are like ants on a hot pot, it is already a great thing.

It may sound a little funny, a drug seller dares to threaten a rebel, isn't that too overreaching?

But it's not really funny.

Although Shennong Baicaomen will not attack King Cheng directly, King Cheng is a "master of justice" after all. Firstly, fighting Shennong Baicaomen is thankless, and secondly, it will destroy the reputation he has accumulated over decades. You beat the drug seller to death, who will treat your injuries.

All kinds of pills and wound medicines provided by Shennong Baicaomen have played an extremely important role in the wars in recent years.

King Cheng's army is not an iron man, they also need a lot of material support, which includes the indispensable Shennong Baicaomen elixir.

Therefore, after King Cheng raised his army, in order to raise military expenses, he seized all the caravans on the road in the name of spies, but he behaved well to the caravans of Shennong Baicaomen. Otherwise, the caravan would not be able to return to Luoyang.

Once King Cheng and Shennong Baicaomen turn against each other, they will inevitably be subject to a trade embargo.

Although smuggling will never stop, but you can buy medicines at a cheap price, why do you have to buy goods at black market prices? Is it true that Cheng Wang has too much money in his bag?

Therefore, Huang Xiaoshi's words are more intimidating than ordinary people think, but how effective his arrangements are will be known in the future.

What Huang Xiaoshi is doing now is actually to make a statement, he hopes to let the emperor know that he is on his side.

Afterwards, Huang Xiaoshi arranged some other affairs, and then he brought Shang Jingzhong and Huang San, and the three of them rode fast horses towards the capital.

The boss is gone, so there is naturally a lady boss watching at home.

Ji Wushuang is now at the helm of Shennong Baicaomen.

Many people will be confused by Ji Wushuang's appearance and think that beautiful women are not too smart, but Ji Wushuang is an exception.

In the small courtyard of Shennong Baicaomen, Ji Wushuang was teaching Feng Chuixue how to dance, but Feng Chuixue was obviously out of shape today.

"Don't worry, Xiaoxue." After Ji Wushuang completed a dance movement, she turned to Feng Chuixue and said, "Sister, I grew up watching wars, and I have seen this scene a lot."

After a pause, Ji Wushuang suddenly said to Feng Chuixue in a serious tone: "If there is any danger, you should go first, and then you will be Yasha."

……

After King Cheng raised his troops, many Central Plains sects had to consider standing in line as his troops arrived, and most of them were forced to get involved.

Zhujian Villa by the West Lake is a typical representative.

Director Zhuang Haoran originally wanted to use his identity as King Cheng to jump out of the disputes in the rivers and lakes and martial arts, but he didn't expect to fall into a bigger whirlpool.

Of course, judging from the results, no matter whether he is willing or not, the only way he can choose is to follow King Cheng to rebel.

King Cheng's rebellion required a large number of weapons. Zhujian Villa has mastered the top smelting technology, and it can manufacture standard weapons. Any apprentice in Zhujian Villa is a master.

Under the order of King Cheng, Zhujian Villa immediately began to expand the production scale, and this place will become King Cheng's arsenal.

Ren Haoran was naturally grateful for this important task, but only in the dead of night, when the father and son of the Ren family sat silently in front of the oil lamp, did Ren Haoran dare to express the regret in his heart.

"Son, dad shouldn't have stopped you from wandering the rivers and lakes back then. At the very least, you should be in Luoyang now, not here."

Ren Jiannan shook his head after hearing his father's words, and said, "Since father is here, how can a son be free and easy outside?"

Ren Haoran sighed and said: "This is the doom of our Ren family.

Son, you are not young anymore, it's time to get married. "

Ren Haoran seemed to say two irrelevant words, but Ren Jiannan understood.

Father wants him to get married as soon as possible, and it is best to marry two more concubines at the same time, so as to leave a queen for the Ren family as quickly as possible.

Tuogu is the last resort of the big family, including the royal family, and the Ren family has come to this point unexpectedly.

Looking at the beating lights on the table, Ren Jiannan felt that the love and fantasy of the past were as ethereal as the flames.

"Okay, Dad."

Ren Jiannan agreed expressionlessly.

……

In addition to the sects that were passively involved, there were also sects that actively joined King Cheng.

For example, the Sea Shark Gang, whose strength ranks only below Happy Valley.

On the day when King Cheng's army captured Hangzhou City, Xiong Tianba, leader of the Haisha Gang, brought his younger brothers to welcome Master Wang.

The Sea Shark Gang was formally incorporated into King Cheng's command. During the subsequent capture of Nanjing, the Sea Shark Gang's fleet blocked the Yangtze River waterway. A group of officials from the Six Ministries of the Southern Metropolis who wanted to flee looked at the water and sighed. They were finally killed by King Cheng's sergeants on the Yangtze River. Catch them one by one, and take them back.

With the Sea Shark Gang controlling the Yangtze River, before defeating it, even if the imperial court has an army of one million, it can only stare blankly at the north bank of the Yangtze River.

Naturally, the imperial court also had its own navy. The shipbuilding technology in the Central Plains was not weak. At its peak, the navy had more than [-] ships of all sizes, including more than [-] ocean-going warships.

However, the seemingly invincible navy of the imperial court was defeated by the Sea Shark Gang in one fell swoop, and the entire army was wiped out. People on both sides of the Yangtze River were shocked.

If someone can understand more information behind it, they will find that this result is not surprising.

The first is the dislocation of the configuration. Most of the navy ships of the imperial court are only used for transportation.

After all, the Central Plains imperial court is a continental country, and the biggest role of ships is to transport troops, food, equipment and ferry troops.

Although there are only about a hundred ships of the Sea Shark Gang, all of them are warships.

The second is the tactical difference.

The naval tactical guidance of the imperial court is still stuck in the thinking of "Naval battle is just a big ship to win a small ship, and more ships are better than fewer ships".

The Sea Shark Gang, which has fought bloody battles with the Japanese pirates for many years, has already mastered more advanced tactics, including front arrow formation, wheel formation, shark formation and so on.

More importantly, in the process of cooperating with Thunderbolt, the Sea Shark Gang has mastered the secret of making Thunderbolt.

When the court navy was still using the old style of ramming and jumping, the Sea Shark Gang had already used super-large slingshots to catapult thunderbolts, thunderbolts and fierce fire oil in naval battles.

It's like everyone is desperately using knives, and someone suddenly pulls out a gun, even the most primitive muzzle-loading flintlock.

The giant warship of the imperial court was sunk before approaching.

The last is to underestimate the enemy.

The Sea Shark Gang has already reached the nose, and the court's navy ships are still parked at the pier.

Everyone thought that these pirates would find a place to land and start a land battle, so they lined up troops on the shore, ready to drive ducks into the water.

As a result, a burst of fire rained down from the sky, burning up all the ships of the navy.

Affected by this, Xiong Tianba was awarded the command envoy by King Cheng to take charge of the navy, and Shi Yi was named the commander and assistant to manage the navy.

After capturing Nanjing, Shi Yi received a letter from Luoyang brought by the Shennong Baicaomen Caravan. He opened the letter and saw that it was a letter of persuasion from his brother Shi Gang.

Shi Yi pondered for a moment, then he wrote a reply letter to Shi Gang.

There was only one word on the entire sheet of reply letter, a big word: Absolutely!
There are no historians brothers in this world anymore, only enemies who are their own masters.

……

In addition to being passively involved and taking the initiative to join, there are also some sects that try to remain neutral, such as the Beggars' Gang with its headquarter in Nanjing.

After Nanjing was captured by King Cheng, everyone in Nanjing, from the dignitaries to the traffickers and pawns, was in a panic, and they dared not leave, and could not escape.

However, even if King Cheng's soldiers blocked the city gate, a group of people could still come in and out freely.

It's funny to say that the reason they can come in and out freely is simply because they are not treated as human beings in the eyes of others.

This is a beggar who is worse than a wild dog.

Today, in an open space outside Nanjing, a large group of beggars sat together seriously, debating whether to support King Cheng or the emperor with serious expressions on their faces.

If someone else heard it, they would be laughed to death: Just you bunch of stinky beggars who want to go to the city to join King Cheng, they are not willing to waste food.

However, members of the beggar gang don't think this way. In their hearts, even if they are begging for food, they still have the backbone not to eat what is cheap.

Now, the people who are arguing are Li Hao and Xiao Yao, while the gang leader Ke Jianglong has been silent from the beginning.

Xiao Yao stood up and said impassionedly to the people sitting on the ground: "In today's temples, rotten trees serve as officials, and in the halls, beasts eat their salary; wolf-hearted people are in power, and servile servants are in power one after another.

The emperor's behavior was not right, he was suspected of killing his brother to seize the throne, but after winning the world, he became a commoner, treating human life as worthless.

Mencius said: The king regards the people like grass, and the people regard the king like a bandit.

Not to mention anything else, there are tens of millions of people in our beggar gang, which one is born to beg for life?
Who doesn't want his wife and children to be hot on the kang, and live a lifetime of peace and beauty.

However, has this cannibalism let us go? !
If we want to be loyal to the imperial court, do we all starve to death with peace of mind, that is called loyalty? ! "

What Xiao Yao said was not clear, but everyone understood.

It's not that the other beggars have a high literary quality, but that the feelings in Xiao Yao's words are the painful experiences of everyone.

Who the hell doesn't want to have a good time?
Who the hell doesn't have a family?
And now!

On the contrary, Li Hao talked for a long time, and repeated the words of "loyal to the emperor and serve the country", which did not resonate with everyone at all.

Li Hao is a member of the Clean Clothes Sect. He really has no deep-rooted pain for begging. Coupled with the things that have happened in the Central Plains for all to see, Li Hao wanted to defend the emperor, but he couldn't find the right words.

When everyone turned to Xiao Yao and clamored that the beggar gang should join King Cheng, Li Hao finally couldn't help it anymore, he stood up and shouted at Xiao Yao angrily: "Xiao Yao, you said that you really want to join King Cheng, but in fact He wanted to take the opportunity to be a spy with King Cheng.

Don't think that I don't know your details, that Lu Shaolin who you have been in contact with from time to time, he is a stray dog ​​from Dongchang! "

……

Since Hangzhou City was captured by King Cheng, King Cheng's money bag, the Golden Wind Escort, suddenly closed down.

Over the years, King Cheng's proceeds from smuggling smuggled salt have all been hidden in the Golden Wind Escort, and King Cheng feels bad about its closure.

King Cheng's sergeant broke into the yard after breaking the door lock of the Golden Wind Escort, and saw that there were escort vehicles, flags and other utensils in the Escort, and there was no shortage of firewood, rice, oil and salt in the kitchen. It seemed that the people in the Escort had suddenly withdrawn.

King Cheng's sergeants dug three feet into the bodyguard and finally found the vault where the gold and silver were stored, but there was nothing in it except for a letter.

King Cheng looked at the letter, he was so self-cultivated, and he was so angry that his veins burst out. Then the news that Lu Shaolin was the spy of Dongchang spread throughout the city of Hangzhou.

Immediately afterwards, all those who had anything to do with Lu Shaolin, including the old lady of Yichunyuan and a few top names, a total of hundreds of people were arrested by King Cheng and put into prison.

The subsequent torture was as crazy and brutal as those eunuchs when they were handling the case.

However, Lu Shaolin just disappeared, and nearly 10 taels of gold disappeared with him.

Xiong Tianba and Shi Yi went to King Cheng's mansion to plead guilty, and King Cheng personally untied them from the rope and forgave them: "This is not the fault of the two of you, it's all because Lu Shaolin is too cunning."

In the subsequent Battle of Nanjing, the two Xiong and Shi committed crimes and made great contributions to King Cheng.

……

Turning around to talk about the beggar gang, Li Hao suddenly launched an attack, causing everyone to look sideways.

Ke Jianglong, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke, and he asked Xiao Yao in a deep voice: "Xiao Yao, everyone knows that Lu Shaolin is a secret agent of the East Factory.

To be honest, do you know his details? "

After listening to Ke Jianglong's words, Xiao Yao was silent for a while, then he opened his mouth and explained to Ke Jianglong: "Master, the thing is like this.

That time in Luoyang City, I accidentally met Lu Shaolin, he looked very anxious..."

……

A major incident happened to the beggar gang. Xiao Yao, a disciple passed on by the leader of the gang, betrayed the gang for glory, and took refuge in Dongchang.

Ke Jianglong, the leader of the beggar gang, killed his relatives righteously. After chasing Xiao Yao to the edge of the Yangtze River, he smashed him into the surging river with a palm.

Afterwards, the gang of beggars chased along the Yangtze River for tens of miles, but they didn't see Xiao Yao's body floating ashore again, it must have been washed into the sea.

After that, Ke Jianglong announced that the beggar gang should be loyal to the emperor and serve the country, not only to eradicate the eunuchs, but also to swear against the thieves in troubled times.

It's just that no one cares about the words of a group of beggars.

……

There is no 10 taels of gold in Jinfeng Escort at all, all of them are fake accounts and blindfolded.

Bai Jiuchi has a bad habit, he likes to read reports but never checks them in person, so Lu Shaolin only used a small amount of gold, repeatedly tossing and turning, and easily fooled Bai Jiuchi.

The letter Lu Shaolin left to King Cheng was short but deeply affectionate. It said:
You have been lied to, I am the emperor's man.
