Chapter 135 King Chong: You, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, must have fallen into the trap of being a thief, right?
Compared with the strange attributes of other vassal kings in Zhu Ming, the Chongwang family's hobby of building temples is indeed nothing. At least it has left some landscapes for future generations.

However, since the Ming Dynasty has reached the end of the world, he has upheld righteousness and revolutionized the tripod. Today, he must let King Chong and his family understand that they cannot keep their wealth by building temples alone.

Thinking of this, Liu Sheng said: "Since King Chong likes to spend money to build temples, he must be generous. Knowing that our rebel army is short of money and food, he will probably help with all his money.

Of course, someone must explain this matter clearly to King Chong. I wonder if Brother Shen is willing to handle this matter for our rebel army? "

Shen Wandeng did not expect Liu Sheng to speak so "humorously".

Then I thought: Doesn’t this require me to submit my certificate of nomination again?

Isn't it enough to arrest the prefect Fu Ruwei?

Although he was confused, Shen Wandeng still clasped his fists and bowed in response: "I am willing."

Liu Sheng nodded with a smile, "Brother Shen is willing to do this, but he can't do it without a name. It just so happens that our Guards Xiaoqi Battalion is short of a cavalry general to be the commander, so Brother Shen should take over.

Among the people who submit with you, as long as they are qualified in riding skills, they can enter the knight camp. "

Most areas of Runing Prefecture belong to plains, with the vast East Henan Plain to the north, the Huanghuai Plain to the east, and the Nanxiang Basin to the west.

Luzhou Prefecture, which is adjacent to the southeast, is the famous horse breeding place where Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, started his business.

Therefore, when developing in Runing Prefecture, defense can rely on high mountains such as Tianmu Mountain, Tongbai Mountain, and Dabie Mountain.

But if you want to expand your territory and fight it out, even if you don't rely on cavalry, you cannot lack cavalry.

If conditions permit, Liu Sheng will definitely expand the cavalry team.

Therefore, the cavalry general Shen Wandeng surrendered, and he directly entrusted him with the command of the Xiaoqi Battalion.

One expresses the trust in Shen Wandeng.

The second is to recruit Shen Wandeng's original team in an honest and fair manner.

Shen Wandeng brought a total of more than 170 people to submit. Even if they were cavalry, they would be diluted if they were included in the already 300-person Qiaoqi battalion.

What's more, Xiaoqi Camp will continue to expand in the future.

At that time, he would also find some reasons to promote Shen Wandeng's important subordinates and transfer them from the Xiaoqi Battalion to other teams.

In addition, most of the other generals in the Xiaoqi Battalion were veterans of the rebel army, so even if Shen Wandeng wanted to rebel, there was nothing he could do.

As for Yang Kuiwu, who had temporarily taken command of the battalion, he must have been aggrieved.

But Yang Kui's five lives were saved by Liu Sheng. He only started to practice riding when he was eighteen or nineteen years old. He was able to temporarily command the battalion entirely because he followed Liu Shengzao and was loyal and reliable.

Therefore, there is no problem in letting him retire as battalion deputy.

Even if Yang Kuiwu knew how to learn more from Shen Wandeng, it would be entirely possible for him to grow into a real cavalryman.

As a Yuan Cong, there will be many opportunities to lead other cavalry units alone in the future.

If Yang Kuiwu cannot see through this and even feels resentful about it, then there is something wrong with his character, and there is no need to cultivate or promote him.

Shen Wandeng didn't know that Liu Sheng was hiding a lot of thoughts in just a mere appointment - after all, Liu Sheng looked like a bold and bold man like him.

He only felt that Liu Sheng was really extraordinary and king-like, and he was even more grateful for Liu Sheng's trust.

He immediately clasped his fists and said, "Thank you very much, leader, for trusting me. I will definitely live up to my trust!"

Liu Sheng smiled and helped Shen Wanteng upright.

"We rebel soldiers only need to salute each other and hold fists. Even if a subordinate is facing a superior, there is no need to bow, let alone kneel.

Coincidentally, all the Xiaoqi battalions came to the government office with me, where Commander Shen selected his subordinate riders to form a new Xiaoqi battalion.

Then I will teach you how to make King Chong happily help our rebel army, hahaha. "

Listening to Liu Sheng's words, Shen Wandeng felt that he could hardly look at the words "help with all our resources".

Riders did account for the majority of the group of people who followed Shen Wandeng.

But Shen Wandeng knew how to measure and only selected 100 people to join the Xiaoqi camp.

In order not to destroy the combat effectiveness of the Xiaoqi Battalion, Shen Wandeng discussed with Liu Sheng and classified these 100 people as a separate sentry.

In this way, the number of Xiaoqi battalion reached four sentries.

As for war horses, there is no shortage of them in Runing City...

Prince Chong's Mansion is located in the southwest area of ​​Ruyang City, covering an area of ​​several hundred acres. Compared with other famous vassal princes' mansions in the Ming Dynasty, it is not too large.

Because Prince Chong’s Mansion was built on the basis of the original Prince Xiu’s Mansion.

Xiu Wang Zhu Jianshu, the fifth son of Baozong and the half-brother of Xianzong.

Because he grew up in Nangong, he has a gentle personality, even a little submissive.

Therefore, in order to avoid the Confucian Temple next to it, Prince Xiu's Mansion was initially built relatively small, which was still a shoddy project.

However, King Xiu died within two years of his reign.

Moreover, he had no sons and only had two daughters. They were taken back to the capital to be raised by Emperor Chenghua Zhu Jianshen, and King Xiu was eliminated from the vassal.

Emperor Chenghua was a man who knew how to live a good life. He thought that after the vassal palace was built, it should not be left empty and wasted.

So he granted the title of Chong Wang Zhu Jianze to Ruyang, his brother-in-law and the sixth son of Baozong.

Because they were brothers from the same mother, the Chongwang family was favored in the Chenghua, Hongzhi, and Zhengde dynasties.

The first generation of King Chong was not as docile as King Xiu. When he came to Ruyang to see the palace, he first asked the Confucian Temple to be moved for expansion, and then he wrote a letter crying that the palace was like dregs.

In this way, the water lakes, riverbanks, and open spaces in Guide Mansion, Chen, Sui, Shou, Ying, Huoqiu, Shangshui, Luyi and other places that were originally rewarded to King Xiu were collected.

Then they also brought over the vegetable orchards, horse ranches, water and land gardens, extraction factories and some customs duties departments of the King Shunyang of the Zhou Dynasty who were also expelled from Runing Mansion, as well as the skilled craftsmen.

It is equivalent to saying that the Chongwang lineage inherited part of the legacy of a prince and a county king.

He was favored for three consecutive dynasties and received many rewards.

Therefore, although King Chong was only passed down for six generations, his wealth was no less than that of some of the vassals passed down from the Hongwu and Yongle years.

The palace does not occupy a large area, but it is magnificently built.

As the contemporary Chongwang, Zhu Youfan was granted the title at the age of ten and has been the master of this palace for nearly 30 years. He is not short of money and his life is extremely comfortable.

Although he is 38 years old, he looks like he is in his early thirties. He is neither fat nor thin, and his complexion is fair and rosy. He is really a rich man in the world.

But at this time, Zhu Youfan was restless in the main hall of the palace, his face full of worry.The bandit army has entered the city, and they might arrive at the palace in the next breath. Can he not be worried and afraid?

Although since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there has been no precedent for a vassal king to fall into the hands of the traitor army, but after thinking about it for a moment, Zhu Youfan knew that the result would not be too good.

Now, Zhu Youfan only hoped that the government troops could drive out the thieves who had invaded the city, so as not to cause disaster to Prince Chong's Mansion.

When Zhu Youfan was spinning in circles in worry, a tall middle-aged man walked in.

This person was wearing a rather gorgeous cloth armor. He was tall and mighty, but he was Gao Douheng, the commander of the palace guards.

"Your Majesty, Shen Youji is here!"

Gao Douheng's position was inherited from his family. He had some martial arts skills, but he had never experienced any battles at all. He was just a piece of shit.

After learning that the bandit army had broken through the city, he was very frightened and didn't know what to do.

When he saw Shen Wandeng leading hundreds of soldiers outside the palace, he felt that he had found the backbone.

Zhu Youqi perked up after hearing this. In panic and fear, he didn't think much at all, and immediately said: "Let Shen Youji come to the main hall to talk!"

"Yes!"

After a while, Shen Wandeng came to the vicinity of the main hall with [-] knight guards disguised as battalions.

When he followed Gao Douheng into the main hall, he naturally winked at Yang Kuiwu, Li Rongguang, and Wang Sanjia (formerly the captain of Shen Wandeng's family). After he entered the main hall, the three of them directly commanded the following guards to surround him. main hall.

Until now, several people were in disbelief.

I didn't expect them to enter Prince Chong's Mansion so easily.

Inside the main hall.

Seeing Shen Wandeng, Zhu Youfan took the initiative to greet Shen Wandeng without caring about the prince's dignity, and asked urgently: "Shen Youqi, what is the situation in the city now? Can the rebels be driven out?"

Shen Wandeng almost couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

But thinking of Liu Sheng's instructions, he still tried his best to use his acting skills and said: "When I came over, the enemy had already captured four gates, but the city was very big, and the officers and soldiers were still fighting with the enemy in the streets everywhere."

"Ah?" Zhu Youyi was shocked when he heard this, and said in a trembling voice: "How come the city was broken so quickly and four gates were captured by the bandits? Where are Magistrate Fu and Zhu Tong and them?"

"I don't know, maybe he died in the battle."

"This..." Zhu Youfan didn't expect the situation to deteriorate like this. He couldn't help but slumped on the ground and murmured: "It's over, I can't escape now..."

Shen Wandeng thought to himself that this Prince Chong was indeed a loser.

But his face said seriously: "Your Majesty, I saw that the situation was not good, so I gathered hundreds of soldiers and came here to protect your Majesty.

This is the palace after all, and the king has thousands of guards. If you leave it to me to command, maybe we can keep the enemy out of the palace until reinforcements from the court arrive. "

"Yes, yes, Shen Youyi is right." Zhu Youyi got up again, "Commander Gao, hurry up and summon the guards. All listen to Shen Youyi's command!"

Gao Douheng looked embarrassed, "Your Majesty, there are only a few hundred guards in the palace now..."

"Hundreds of people?" Zhu Youfan was slightly stunned after hearing this, and then said angrily: "You Gao Douheng, how dare you take the free salary of the lonely king's guard?"

He said that he was going to fight Gao Douheng.

Gao Douheng did not avoid Zhu Youfan's fists, and just shouted: "Your Majesty, I have been wronged. I took part of my free salary, but you and the late king also ordered to reduce the number of guards."

"When did I give the order to reduce the number of guards?" Zhu Youfan seemed to have forgotten the order he had given.

Shen Wandeng didn't want to waste time with the two of them, so he interjected: "Commander Gao, no matter how many palace guards are left, let them all gather in front of the main hall and just listen to my orders."

"Okay, I understand."

Gao Douheng was really afraid that Zhu Youfan would pursue the matter of eating empty wages, so he hurriedly took the opportunity to leave.

At this time, Zhu Youfan couldn't help but said: "So yesterday I heard that the bandit army was attacking the city, and I thought that if the bandit army did not retreat in two days, I would use money and food to reward the soldiers.

Who would have thought that you guys didn't even last two days before letting the bandit army break through the city.Where did these thieves come from, and are they so powerful? "

Shen Wandeng sighed: "The enemy army is indeed powerful, with more guns and armor than us."

Originally, Zhu Youfan had some confidence in guarding the palace because of Shen Wandeng's words, but when he heard that the rebels had guns and cannons, this confidence immediately disappeared.

After all, Prince Chong's Mansion does not want to be a city within a city like some palaces. Although there were defensive facilities when it was first built, there were not many.

Although Zhu Youfan didn't understand military affairs, he didn't think the palace could withstand an artillery attack.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but expectantly said: "Shen Youyi, if it is difficult to defend the palace and the lone king surrenders, will the thieves give him preferential treatment?

As long as Gu and everyone in the palace can save their lives, Gu can give the thieves any amount of food they want. "

Hearing this, Shen Wandeng couldn't help but look strange.

He never expected that Zhu Youfan would consider surrender.

This is the vassal king of the Ming Dynasty. The country of the Ming Dynasty belongs to the Zhu family. How could he surrender so easily?

So what do the soldiers who died defending the city yesterday and today count?
With these thoughts pouring out, Shen Wandeng felt more and more that he had made the right choice to defect to the rebels this time.

However, if they had known that Zhu Youfan was so greedy for life and afraid of death, they would not have had to perform this scene.

If we just come in and capture this person, we might be able to achieve the leader's request to quickly and completely control Prince Chong's Mansion.

Thinking of this, Shen Wandeng said: "If the king sincerely surrenders and seeks to survive, he can wait until he meets the leader and speak for himself."

"Yes," Zhu Youfan nodded subconsciously after hearing this, "I should say this alone..."

Halfway through the words, Zhu Youfan felt that something was wrong.

Why does Shen Wandeng call the thief his leader?
Is it...
Thinking of something, Zhu Youfan couldn't help but stare at Shen Wandeng, and said in a trembling voice: "Shen Youyi, you, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, can't you be a thief?"

Shen Wanteng smiled and said: "It seems that the king is not too stupid."

After saying that, he drew the sword in his hand.
