Daming, originally wanted to destroy it, but the system came

Chapter 378: The Yao people rebel and Yingde falls?

After wiping out Wengyuan Village, Zhu Zhen took a short rest at night and was ready to continue leading the army on the road the next day.

Yingde is on the edge of Wengyuan County, so Zhu Chu passed by Wengyuan County and sent the rescued people home.

At the same time, Zhu Zhen handed over the dirty silver seized from the cottage to the county government of Wengyuan County.

Because it was only three thousand people's dirty silver, and it was not a large-scale smuggling merchant ship like the Xie family's robbery. To put it bluntly, this amount of money was not worth sending a team of people to the capital.

But Zhu Ming did not forget to warn the county magistrate, asking him to carefully investigate the injured people and their families, and use the money to make up for it.

Moreover, a notice must be posted that if Magistrate Weng Yuan dares to commit corruption and he finds out, he will be skinned.

After that, Zhu Chu left Wengyuan County and came to Yingde's territory.

This is not the UK and Germany.

Yingde is also a place with a long history. In the Northern Song Dynasty, it was called Hanwei County. Later, because "洭" was the same pronunciation as "kuang" in Zhao Kuangyin, the name was changed to Hanwei County, and later it was changed to Yingzhou until Qingyuan of the Southern Song Dynasty. In the first year of the year, Yingzhou was promoted to Yingde Mansion, and it was named Yingde from then on.

Moreover, in the Northern Yuan Dynasty, Yingde Mansion was changed to Yingde Road, and finally it was downgraded to Yingdezhou.

In the Ming Dynasty, Yingde County was demoted to Yingde County.

Although it is now only at the county level, the scale of Yingde is not small.

And when Zhu Zhen led the army from the border of Wengyuan County to the boundary of Yingde County, he unexpectedly encountered a group of people, running straight towards them in panic.

Zhu Ming winked at Wang Fu.

Wang Fu nodded understandingly, calmly picked up the Guandao, and rushed out with his horse under his belly.

"Wait a minute," Zhu Zhen called out to Lao Wang angrily. Could this old boy be asking him to kill someone with a wink?

What do you think this king is?

Zhu Chu could only turn to Hua Rong and said, "Little Hua."

Hua Rong has a black streak on his head, is he calling himself?

"Go and ask them who they are, don't scare them," Zhu Ming ordered.

"Uncle Eighteen, I can handle this little thing," Li Jinglong was unhappy.

Zhu Chu glanced over, and Li Jinglong suddenly became silent.

Hua Rong clasped his hands and saluted, then rode forward and stopped those people.

"Uncle Eighteen, do you prefer newcomers too much? It's not good to like the new and hate the old," Li Jinglong muttered.

What is this mess?

Zhu Miao secretly glanced at Xu Miaojin and saw that his sister Xu was unmoved and smiled at him.

Tang Xin just blushed and snorted.

"Come here, you," Zhu Zhen scolded angrily.

When Li Jinglong arrived, Zhu Jingcai lectured in a low voice: "You dandy, you know nothing. The first thing I have to do now is to investigate the situation in Yingde County and the size of the rebels. Are you going? Then scare others." It’s bad, they think we are the villains.”

"You should learn from me and restrain your character. Don't idle around all day. I heard that when you were in the capital before, you did nothing except good things."

Li Jinglong was trained so hard that he finally became more honest.

But at this moment, Hua Rong shouted from the front: "The enemy is attacking, set up your formation."

Enemy attack?

Zhu Ming's heart moved and he looked forward.

I saw that the group of people who were running for their lives had scattered and fled in other directions.

And right in front, a group of people rushed out, holding various weapons and screaming strangely as they rushed over.

They were originally chasing the fleeing people, but suddenly, these people stopped and stopped screaming.

"What are the ghosts called? Kill them for me," Zhu Ming said impatiently.

From behind Zhu Chu, Niu Sheng couldn't wait and rushed out at the lead.

Following closely, Peng Yue and Wang Fu were not to be outdone.

Li Jinglong was stunned at first, but then he realized that even Xu Miaojin and Tang Xin had rushed out, and then he wanted to follow him.

But fifteen thousand cavalry, followed by several generals, all rushed out like a torrent.

Looking at those people again, their eyes were wide open, they turned around in fear and wanted to run away.

Good guy, there is an army of 25,000 people behind Zhu Zhen, and these people are only about a hundred or so. It is enough to chase down some fleeing people, but facing such a large-scale regular army, it is one-sided. massacre.

More than 10,000 cavalry charged, and the cavalry was flattened with their horses' hooves without any need for cavalry action.

In the end, Wang Fu even captured one alive and brought him back.

Zhu Ming looked at Wang Fu strangely and asked, "Do you think I understand Miao language?"

It turns out that although the Yao people are not the Miao people, it is always easy for people to confuse the two ethnic groups and mistakenly think that they are the same thing.

But it is said that Panhu, the ancestor of the Yao people, married the third princess of Emperor Ku, and his descendants became the Yao people.

The ancestor of the Miao people is Chi You.

But I don’t know why, the Yao and Miao people both speak the Miao language.

Therefore, the Miao language is generally considered to belong to the Miao-Yao language family of the Sino-Tibetan language family.

Zhu Chu was speechless. Although there were Miao people in his vassal territory of Yunnan, he didn't understand the Miao language, and he didn't know if Aqiu understood it.

"Kill, kill," Zhu Ming waved his hand impatiently.

"People from the Ming Dynasty, you are so cruel, but our leader will definitely avenge us. Damn the people from the Ming Dynasty, and the dog officials of the Ming Dynasty, all go to death," the Yao tribesman suddenly burst out in Chinese, and then did not wait for Zhu Ming. After reacting, he fiercely pressed the knife on Wang Fu's neck and wiped his neck.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

"It turns out he understands Chinese. You should have said it earlier," Zhu Chu reacted belatedly.

He does not understand Miao language, but the Yao people have lived in Yingde County for so long, so they may not be unable to learn Chinese.

But seeing the other person wiping his neck and blood flowing all over the floor, we couldn't let him get up and reply first before he died, right?

Zhu Ming sighed and looked at Wang Fu.

Wang Fu put away the knife and said, "Your Highness, this is not my fault."

Zhu Ming had no choice but to say: "Forget it, there are plenty of people anyway. Didn't he say that their leader wanted to kill all of us Ming people? Then let him kill us."

Zhu Ming said he wanted him to kill him, but the murderous intent in his tone made it clear that it was not certain who killed whom.

After briefly cleaning up the corpses, Zhu Zhen led the army and continued on the road, heading deep into Yingde County.

On the way, Hua Rong said with a solemn face what he had asked the fugitives before: "Your Highness, this matter is not trivial. These Yao rebels are not all local Yao people, but a group from Guangxi. They came from Lianshan. I'm afraid the scale is tens of thousands."

"Besides, between Lianshan and Yingde, there is also Yangshan County, which I'm afraid has been captured now."

It seems that this Yao rebellion is not a trivial matter. It has even spanned two provinces, all the way from Guangxi to here.

Zhu Ming's heart moved and he couldn't help but said: "It seems that there is no news coming out of Guangxi?"

Hua Rongxin said, is this important?

What Hua Rong is thinking now is that we only have more than 20,000 people, and the enemy may be several times our number, and we don't know the enemy's current situation. It will definitely be dangerous to continue to penetrate deeper rashly.

It is better to return to Guangzhou Mansion, then report it to the court and wait for follow-up arrangements.

No matter what happens, you can also mobilize other guards in Guangzhou Prefecture to fight against this sudden rebel enemy.

Zhu Ming saw Hua Rong's thoughts and comforted him with a smile: "Don't worry, I won't let you die on the battlefield. It's just tens of thousands of people, why do you care? Go back and ask my people, back then Were they ever afraid on the grassland?"

"I will follow His Highness to the death."

These soldiers who had followed Zhu Chu for so long shouted loudly, which made the two guards of Guangzhou Prefecture brought by Hua Rong surprised.

How many taels of silver do you earn in a month? As for being so desperate?

Seeing that Zhu Chu insisted on this, Hua Rong could only let it go.

So the army continued to go deep into Yingde County.

But when passing by a village, dozens or hundreds of people suddenly rushed out. They were dressed in simple clothes, holding incense and kneeling there.

"General Ming, please spare your life. Although we are from the Yao people, we are not rioters, and we dare not commit rebellion. Please spare your life, and please accept us," these people took the initiative to beg for mercy.

"Oh?" Zhu Chu raised his eyebrows and looked at them lighting incense and kneeling there. Although he didn't know what it meant, he still said: "Since you are good citizens, then get up and be innocent."

Only then did those people get up.

One of them also said: "General Ming, because we are unwilling to rebel with others, we are afraid that we will be retaliated against in the future. Please take us in. Otherwise we will all die."

Just when Zhu Chu was about to speak, Qian Gui and Gu Wen both shook their heads at him and winked.

Xu Miaojin also showed a thoughtful expression, with a thoughtful look in her eyes.

Even Tang Xin looked at those people with doubtful eyes and said straightforwardly: "In this case, why don't you just escape from here in the direction we came from?"

Why insist on joining their team? Said it twice?

Those people looked at each other in confusion.

One of them gritted his teeth and pretended to be gnashing his teeth, and shouted: "These bastards are simply black sheep and have ruined the reputation of our Yao people. I can't wait to kill them. Please give us a chance, General Ming, we want to Kill them all and serve the country loyally."

"Okay, what a loyal person to serve the country," Zhu Zhen seemed to have been touched by some switch, and shouted on the spot: "We are in need of people like you who understand the righteousness. In this case, I will accept you. Remember, I, the king It’s the King of Dian, Zhu Xun.”

King of Dian?

The eyes of the Yao people widened, some lowered their heads, and some had a strange gleam in their eyes. That look of surprise, that he could take refuge with such a big person?

In other words, you actually met such a big shot?

Because Zhu Zhen agreed to them, the army accepted them.

But because these people had no horses, they could only follow Hua Rong's rear troops.

At this time, Qian Gui, Gu Wen and others came to Zhu Chu one after another.

"Your Highness, how could you let them in so easily? Not only are these people of unknown origin, but they are also too attentive. The so-called courtesy for nothing is either rape or theft," Gu Wen complained.

Qian Gui also said: "What's more, these people are still Yao people. Now that the Yao people are rebelling, they are the same clan, how can they betray easily. Moreover, the people who first met before escaped from this direction. I am afraid they live nearby, or even The Han people living in this village. Since those who are chasing them have not harmed them, I am afraid they are deceitful."

Zhu Ming kept smiling and listening to their analysis, and finally nodded and said: "Don't worry, I am not stupid. But I am more curious about what they want to do."

At the same time, Zhu Ming also had his own trump card. He deliberately accepted this group of people and has been silently paying attention to the changes in the system.

As long as Zhu Ji can win over people's hearts, and as long as the local people support him, the system will automatically divide it into Zhu Ji's territory.

Once Zhu Chu belongs to him, Zhu Chu can use the 'national internal affairs system' in the system to observe the situation in the territory at any time, and even break down the loyalty issues of each person.

He can even know whether an official is corrupt or bribery, and whether a person has committed a crime or violated laws and disciplines.

However, these people obviously did not really submit to Zhu Ji, because they were not his subordinates. It seemed that their verbal allegiance was simply false.

That's why Zhu Chu said before that he would serve the country with loyalty and loyalty.

Forget about your exquisite grains and moonlight cables. Why don’t you swear to me on Luoshui?

I can still believe it a little more.

It turned out that he knew from the beginning that this group of people could not be trusted, but he was very curious, what were they here for? What kind of mission does it have?

"It seems that the entire Yingde County has fallen into the hands of the Yao rebels. Everyone should be careful next time," Zhu Zhen warned everyone in turn, and then continued to march deeper.

His current goal is to go to the county seat of Yingde County. Even if he has guessed that the entire Yingde County may have fallen, he still has to go and see.

What if Yingde County is still holding on against the city wall?

However, it turned out that Zhu Ming had overthought things. When he arrived at Yingde County, he discovered that it had long been occupied by the Yao people.

Moreover, Yingde County was built along the Beijiang River, and the river water could be diverted to form a moat around the city, making it easier to defend and harder to attack.

But since it is easy to defend but difficult to attack, how did the Yao people defeat it?

Now, looking at Zhu Chu's 25,000-strong army approaching the city, countless Yao people appeared on the city wall. They were dressed in the traditional service of the Yao people and had bows and arrows in their hands.

As long as the Ming army approaches, they will shoot arrows to kill the enemy without hesitation.

In ancient times, if you wanted to complete a siege battle, you not only needed to have several times the number of troops as the defenders, but you also had to bear huge casualties, otherwise it would not be completed.

Zhu Zhen looked at the Yao people on the city top from a distance, narrowed his eyes slightly, and sneered silently.

At this time, on the city wall, a tall and thin man got the news and came to the top of the city.

The man looked at the Ming army below the city, his eyes full of hatred and anger: "Damn the Ming army, damn the Ming dog officer, you all deserve to die."

He was still clinging to the wall at the top of the city, as if he was holding the head of the Ming army general in his hands, and he wanted to tear off the head of the Ming army general outside the city.

Suddenly, someone next to him asked: "Big Chief, since you hate Ming people so much, why not kill all the people in the city. Keeping them will only waste food."

"That's nonsense, what the fuck is your mother doing." Unexpectedly, the big leader turned around angrily and cursed: "So many of our tribesmen died unexpectedly, all because of the Ming Dog Officer's inaction, and he didn't even allow us to go out to survive on our own. , because of his black gauze hat, he didn’t even dare to report to the court. But besides us, didn’t those Han people also die countless times?”

"We are all brothers who are suffering. If we also bully them, how are we different from those dog officials?"

"We, the Yao people, our brothers and sisters from the Zhuang people, and the Han people all died because of the inaction of the dog officials of the Ming Dynasty. The dog officials are our enemies."

"You all must remember that as long as you are a dog official of the Ming Dynasty, you will all die. But the people are innocent. No matter what ethnic group they are, they are our brothers and sisters."

The big leader shouted loudly to the people around him.

The Yao people who heard this did not dare to contradict. At the same time, the Han people near the city also secretly breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

It turns out that although Yingde County has fallen into the hands of the rebellious Yao people, the people in the city have not been massacred and can even live normally.

It's just that the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty who usually patrolled have now become those Yao people who wear unique clothes and serve.

It was also because this big leader had done no harm to the common people that he did not encounter strong resistance. Anyway, after these Yao people came, they just killed their county magistrate and Qianhu Guards. What did it have to do with them?

They were still very scared at first, but now, it doesn't seem to have any impact on them?

Outside the city, Zhu Zhen did not dare to get too close because of the threat of arrows on the city, so he did not hear the shouts of the Yao leader.

Seeing that Yingde County has fallen, the Yao people are strictly guarding the city wall, and there is a moat under the city wall, it seems that a forceful attack will not work.

So Zhu Chu simply led his army back ten miles and prepared to set up camp on a flat land.

After the Chinese army's tent was set up first, Zhu Zhen asked the important people to come over one after another.

Zhu Chu sat in the first place, with Xu Miaojin and Tang Xin on his left and right.

The most taboo thing in the general army is to take the female family members without permission, let alone to observe?

But for the two women Xu Miaojin and Tang Xin, apart from Hua Rong, who in the army dares to disobey them?

Even Qian Gui and Gu Wen had seen their bravery in killing Japanese pirates, and after knowing that they were the daughters of Tang He and Xu Da respectively, they no longer had any doubts.

Although Qian Gui and Gu Wen were only seventh-rank officials, they were subordinates of Prince Zhu Chu's palace, and they might even be closer to Zhu Chu than others, so they also had a place.

Wang Fu, Peng Yue and Niu Sheng are naturally not to mention.

Then there is this guy Li Jinglong.

Hua Rong was the last one to come in and found that everyone was already gathered together. He quickly apologized: "I asked someone to arrange for the hundred or so Yao people. That's why I came late."

Zhu Chu smiled and said: "Don't be too strict. I still want to see what they want to do."

Hua Rong was stunned for a moment, then he understood and said: "When I get back, I will have people outside and inside to keep an eye on me secretly."

Zhu Ming nodded with satisfaction.

After everyone was seated, Zhu Zhen said slowly: "I plan to attack the city tonight."

Everyone was shocked. A strong attack would come at a heavy price. In his eyes, didn't the life of a soldier count as life?

As a result, I heard Zhu Ming say: "In the middle of the night, I will personally go to the top of the city and open the south, north and east gates for you."

Because of the geographical location, after Zhu and the others crossed Beijiang, they were located in the north direction of Yingde County. And because Beijiang is to the west, the three nearest city gates were the north gate, then the east gate, and finally It's the south gate opposite.

"Wang Fu, I want you to lead five thousand cavalry around the south gate. Once the south gate opens, don't rush into the city immediately. If anyone wants to escape, block it and annihilate them all. Can you do it?" Zhu Ming The most difficult task was given to Wang Fu.

The reason why it is said to be the most difficult is because according to the order in which Zhu Min opened the city gates, by the time he opened the south gate, the other two gates had already been breached. Once the enemy forces in the city could not withstand the pressure, it is conceivable that they would use all their strength. Break out toward the south gate.

Otherwise, it is impossible for these Yao people to commit suicide by jumping into the Beijiang River, right?

Wang Fu said nothing and agreed: "I will live up to my command."

Zhu Ming nodded and said: "Okay, as expected of the old king. I will give you all the one hundred guards."

There is a hidden meaning in it. The one hundred guards now control twelve big pineapples, which is the strongest firepower.

But Wang Fu subconsciously looked at Xu Miaojin and Tang Xin.

"Don't worry about them." Zhu Zhen knew what Wang Fu meant and wanted a hundred guards to protect the two girls. However, he was confident and looked at the wives beside him and said with a smile: "There are very few people in the world who can hurt them in the slightest." ”

This is the truth. Even if Tang Xin has not yet broken through to the second level of Qi Refining Art, after such a long period of nourishment, the true energy in his body is already extremely huge.

Not to mention Xu Miaojin.

I would like to ask how to deal with the sudden chaos of several big cultivators in the canonical history? How to break this situation? Just asking you how to deal with it?

Why does Zhu Chu want to attack the city tonight? And you have to go up the city wall and open the city gate yourself?

Naturally, it's because he has this confidence and ability.

Just give them a little shock.

Then Zhu Chu continued to make arrangements.

"Ximen has the least pressure. Peng Yue, I will give you three thousand cavalry. Is that okay?" Zhu Zhen looked at Peng Yue.

Peng Yue also agreed without hesitation: "General, I will accept the order. I will never let His Highness down."

Zhu Ming finally looked at Niu Sheng and Hua Rong, and was about to speak.

Li Jinglong quit and shouted: "Uncle Eighteen, have you forgotten me?"

"Tsk," Zhu Xi smacked his lips.

But after thinking about it, I did say that I wanted to train him, so I said: "Hua Rong, you lead 10,000 infantrymen to go up last. Niu Sheng, I have left 7,000 brothers for you. I will let you kill one tonight." happy."

When he was on the grassland, Niu Sheng was an indomitable warrior. Even the Mongolian men were turned upside down by the people he killed.

Niu Sheng licked the corners of his mouth, opened his mouth and said with a smile: "Your Highness, please take a look."

Finally, Zhu Chu said to Li Jinglong: "Follow Peng Yue and let Peng Yue take care of you."

"If I don't go, I still have to go into battle to kill the enemy," Li Jinglong was still unhappy.

Zhu Ming said in a funny and angry tone: "You kid, don't play tricks on me, I don't want anything to happen to you. You should call me Uncle Eighteen anyway, and my father, your imperial uncle, handed you over to me. I have to take you back. And don’t underestimate Peng Yue. This kid’s strength is not inferior to that bull’s, and his intelligence is not inferior to that of Lao Wang. If you can learn his skills, you will be able to use him throughout your life.”

Peng Yue said reservedly: "But in terms of force and strategy, I am still not as good as Lao Niu and Lao Wang. Especially Lao Wang, his force crushes Lao Niu and his intelligence crushes me. He is the strongest among His Highness."

Zhu Ming also looked at Wang Fu. This guy is really a treasure. His loyalty is not a problem and his ability is beyond doubt.

It can be said that Wang Fu and Zhu Yu are equivalent to Xu Da and Zhu Yuanzhang.

Ability is secondary, the key is loyalty.

"Alright, let's go get ready. Get your energy up first, and then we'll start killing in the middle of the night."

"Here."

"By the way, don't forget to let those Yao people perform a carefully arranged show for us."
