Chapter 60: The Boy in the Green Shirt, the Message
However, it was said that on the day that Lu Yi and Li Mubai arrived in Dengfeng, Lei Qingshan galloped day and night and finally arrived in Beijing, because the matter was urgent, he didn't even look for a foothold, so he went straight to the palace according to the address his father told him. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Wang Fu's mansion is not far from the left side of the Guozijian in Andingmen, this is the mansion he specially chose after he was promoted to the military department squire a few years ago, the whole mansion is not big, just a few simple houses, two courtyards, there is no grand and flamboyant mansion gate, and there is no luxury and magnificent pavilion, but only with the big plaque with yellow background vermilion lacquer above the front of the mansion, and the word "Wangfu" that the dragon and phoenix dance, it can make people passing by admire, words and deeds respectful.
Without it, just because this door plaque is given by today's son, the word palace is the title of Emperor Yingzong's own handwriting, in order to show his outstanding achievements, such glory is ordinary princes and nobles may not be able to have, the word "palace" can be a few points heavier than the weight of the real palace.
Lei Qingshan entered the capital from Yongding Gate, and he was not in the mood to appreciate the prosperity and liveliness of the Beijing Division, nor was he in the mood to put on his brocade guard spy as soon as he entered the capital, and went north to the palace, passing through the entire Forbidden City.
What made Lei Qingshan feel strange was that the Jinyi Guard, who had been following him in the back, suddenly disappeared, and what made him even more strange was that the Jinyi Guards and Dongchang spies could be seen everywhere in the entire capital, but there was no sneaky person in this place.
No matter what the reason was, these brocade guards retreated by themselves and saved him a lot of trouble, thinking of this, Lei Qingshan didn't delay any longer, and went straight to the door of the palace to identify himself and handed over the greeting post.
The servants of the palace heard Lei Qingshan say that he was the son of the old man's old friend, where did he dare to slack off? I took the prayer slip and hurriedly transferred it to the house to report it.
After a while, only to hear a steady and powerful footsteps sounding in the courtyard, Lei Qingshan looked intently, and saw a middle-aged man in a coarse robe striding out of the mansion, followed by the servant who had just received the post.
Lei Qingshan thought that the middle-aged man was the housekeeper of the palace, and when he was about to say hello, the middle-aged man suddenly laughed and said, "This is Lei Xian's nephew, right?" Sure enough, he is heroic, quite a father's style, hurry into the house, hurry into the house! ”
Only then did Lei Qingshan understand that this middle-aged man who was dressed inconspicuously was Wang Fu, a dignified second-class member and a squire of the military department, and hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Lei Qingshan has seen an adult, so he took the liberty to disturb and invite Haihan." ”
"Haihan, what?" Wang Fu laughed, "I have been friends with your father for many years, and there are not so many rules in my place, just call me uncle, call me an adult, an adult, and I am upset when I hear it." ”
Lei Qingshan was suddenly shocked, the dignified second-class official in front of him was really different from most people in the officialdom, after Yu Qian was killed, Xu Youzhen, Cao Jixiang and Shi Heng took power, many officials were panicked all day long, lest they would be targeted by Jinyiwei and Dongchang's spies one day, I am afraid that only Wang Fu dared to say that he was upset when he heard others call him an adult.
Although Lei Qingshan was frightened, he was used to walking the rivers and lakes, and he didn't like that set of red tape and rules, Wang Fu was very angry with him, so he was no longer polite, and said according to the etiquette of the rivers and lakes: "The little nephew will call you uncle!" ”
"Hahahaha, worthy of being the son of 'righteous Haoran'!" Wang Fu nodded and said, "Then let's go into the mansion and talk!" As he spoke, he took Lei Qingshan's hand, turned around and ran towards the house.
Wang Fu is not tall, lean, uninhibited in his words and deeds, quite a momentum of looking down on the world and not taking the world in his eyes, Lei Qingshan couldn't help but think secretly in his heart: "It is worthy of being the person who dares to break into the Wara camp alone, and Ren is the first to put the knife on his neck and is unmoved, I am afraid that he is the only one in the court today who can compete with Xu Youzhen, Shi Heng and Cao Jixiang." ”
Lei Qingshan once heard his father say that when he first took Emperor Yingzong to invade Beijing, he threatened to welcome all the ministers of the Ming Dynasty, but at that time, a kind of officials did not dare to come out, only Wang Fu petitioned to go, and when he arrived at the Wara camp, Wang Fu still did not change his face in the army, and he was unmoved in the face of the threat of the first sword, and the righteousness was strict.
It was also that trip, Wang Fu, a little-known general political senator, left a deep impression on Emperor Yingzong, and when Emperor Yingzong returned to the dynasty and re-ascended the throne, he immediately promoted Wang Fu to the head of the military department, and he passed through the northern frontier, and since then he has been introduced as a minister of the humerus.
Wang Fu won the trust of Emperor Yingzong, and as a squire of the military department, he happened to restrain the ambitious military secretary Xu Youzhen, so as to prevent the entire military department and the five armies from falling into the hands of Xu Youzhen and the general Shi Heng.
In order to completely control the military department, Xu Youzhen and Shi Heng had repeatedly slandered and falsely accused Wang Fu in front of Emperor Yingzong, but Emperor Yingzong not only did not believe it, but reprimanded the two in person.
Xu Youzhen, Shi Heng and others hated Wang Fu to the core, but they didn't dare to show the slightest, and even the arrogant and domineering, known as "the upper can monitor the princes and nobles, and the lower can check the people of Li", Jinyiwei and Dongchang did not dare to cruise in front of the palace to monitor, and Wan Yanlie, who has always been above the top, had to respectfully call "Lord Wang" when he saw Wang Fu.
Wang Fu guessed that Lei Qingshan's sudden visit at the order of his father must have something important to discuss, so he withdrew the servant maid, and after the old servant closed the door and left, he suddenly looked like he said: "Virtuous nephew, Ling Zun said in the letter that there was a change in the Tartar?" Are you here for this? ”
Wang Fu is forty years old and is already a second-grade soldier in the official residence, naturally he has his superiority, don't look at the way he smiled in front of everyone just now, at this time, the momentum of the whole person was suddenly again, sitting there as if he was in the depths of the mountain, giving Lei Qingshan a deep and unfathomable feeling.
Lei Qingshan didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly bowed and said: "As my uncle expected, the little nephew encountered an extremely strange thing in Luoyang City before the first month, so the matter is very important, after I gave my father, my father knew that you passed through the northern Xinjiang, and specially ordered me to come to you to explain the inside story in detail......
At that moment, Lei Qingshan described the situation he saw when the Grand Hyatt Inn in Luoyang City was on fire in detail and word for word to Wang Fu.
Although Wang Fu is not a person in the rivers and lakes, but because he is not in the same stream as Xu Youzhen, Cao Jixiang and others in the officialdom, he will reject the Mongolian tribes in the north on the battlefield, and he is very respected by the people in the rivers and lakes, such as "righteous Haoran" Lei Haoran, Gusu Murong family head Murong Zhiyuan and other martial arts people have a lot of friendship with him, that is, Lu Yi's father "Kyushu Yanyu" Lu Jiuzhou also admired him during his lifetime, and he passed through the northern Xinjiang, and there are naturally many capable people under the account who always pay attention to the movements of the Wara Sanfeng Sect and the Shendaomen, I also vaguely heard the news of the "mysterious potion" of the Three Peaks Sect.
Since the first battle of Tumubao, the 150,000 elite divisions of the Ming Dynasty were wiped out, and the elites of the three major battalions of the Shenji Battalion, the three thousand battalions and the five military battalions were almost lost, although there were generals like Wang Fu who passed through the northern frontier, the combat effectiveness of the Ming army has been greatly improved, and then after the defense of the Beijing division and the harassment of the Ming border several times, coupled with the strong soldiers and horses of the Mongolian troops, brave and good at fighting, the combat effectiveness of the two sides is really different.
In the case of the huge disparity in the combat effectiveness of the enemy and us, the role of equipment and tactics has become more and more prominent, but now most of the generals in the border pass are Shi Heng and Shi Biao's uncle and nephew, but the two uncles and nephews, especially Shi Biao, are only brute and unstrategic, in fact, the tactical tactics of the Ming army are not too clever compared with the elite division of the Mongolian army.
The soldiers are not as strong as the enemy, the horses are not as strong as the enemy, and the tactics are not as good as the enemy, and even the swords of the Ming army may not be as sharp and strong as the Mongol soldiers, and the only advantage in this case is only firearms.
The Mongolian army is good at horse warfare, but can only dance swords and swords, although their speed is amazing like the wind and clouds, but if they encounter the Ming army equipped with firearms and well-trained, they will definitely suffer a big loss, that is, in this case, Jiangnan Thunderbolt Tang's unique secret weapon "Thunderbolt Blood Thunder" and "Thunderbolt Fire Bomb" began to be used in the Ming army, and later the major gunpowder bureaus of the Ming Dynasty simply cooperated with Thunderbolt Hall to develop more advanced weapons such as "Serial Fire Guns", especially the soldiers of Gansu, Ningxia and Guyuan trilateral towns controlled by Wang Fu, They even armed firearms to the teeth.
After cooperating with the government, not only did the government expand its financial resources, but also the government helped to expand its power, and its strength has increased dramatically in recent years, coupled with the hall master's "righteous spirit" Lei Haoran's unique skill "palm thunder" has been perfected, and he has become one of the four great masters of martial arts, and now the prestige of the Thunderbolt Hall has surpassed that of the other three major families.
Xu is often suffering from the Ming army's firearms, and it is rumored that the Warat Taishi Brunai specially asked the national teacher Aharahu to develop a mysterious potion, it is said that no matter what this potion is applied to, it can not be afraid of fire.
At that time, the Ming army and Warat were at war, and the lethality of shooting and killing Warat soldiers with firearms was secondary, and what made Brunais and others a big headache was that Wang Fu often took advantage of the arid and windy and sandy climate outside the Cypriot to lead the Warat army to the downwind of the overgrown grass, and then it was a litter of thunderbolts and thunderbolts, thunderbolts and blood mines, which ignited dry firewood to form a fire, burning the Warat army, resulting in heavy losses.
If Aharahu really developed a potion that could not be afraid of fire, then the only advantage that the Ming army had would be greatly reduced, and after listening to Lei Qingshan's narration, Wang Fu's brows suddenly wrinkled tightly, and his expression became more and more solemn.
