According to Zhu Houzhao's arrangement before leaving Beijing, Xu Tai should stay in Gyeonggi to suppress the bandits, but this guy still came with a pleading.

When the emperor met King Ning in Jiujiang, Xu Tai and Wei Bin went straight to Nanchang with a thousand cavalry.

The chief official of the three divisions of Jiangxi and the prefect of Nanchang were either forced to be thieves or beheaded, and now everything here is Wang Yangming's final say. There were also prefects, prefectures, and counties in various places who led troops to Qin Wang, and a few stayed in Nanchang City to assist Wang Yangming in maintaining law and order after the war, and arranged for the defeat of the rebels in different categories.

As soon as Xu Tai and Wei Bin arrived with their troops, they immediately alarmed Wu Wending, who was in charge of defending the city.

"Who's coming?" Wu Wending climbed up to the city tower and asked.

Xu Tai sneered and scolded: "Anbian Bo Zhutai, I came to check on the remnants of King Ning by the emperor's order, and you petty official didn't open the city gate quickly!" ”

Sure enough, it came!

Wu Wending's heart sank suddenly, Wang Yangming discussed with him and knew the real purpose of these guys coming to Nanchang.

After a short time, the city gate was opened, and Xu Tai led the crowd into the city.

didn't bother to ask Wu Wending's name and official position, Xu Tai directly ordered: "Where is Ning Wangfu?" Take me there. ”

Wu Wending is the prefect of the fourth grade, and he is called by the military generals as a small official, and the kind of grievance is simply indescribable. He suppressed his anger, squeezed out a smile and said, "Governor Zhu, please come with me." At the same time, he quietly gestured and asked his entourage to immediately go to the Yamen of the Political Secretary and invite Wang Yangming to deal with these people.

Xu Tai swaggered into King Ning's mansion and asked five hundred Beijing soldiers to guard each gate, and the other five hundred Beijing soldiers followed him in.

"Who is presiding over King Ning's Mansion?" Xu Tai asked.

A civil official came over and said, "Xing Xun, the prefect of Ganzhou, temporarily takes over King Ning's mansion." ”

Xu Tai smiled: "Then you can go, Ning Wangfu is now in charge of me." Before leaving, all the treasures, account books, and traitors that you have stolen must be handed over to the Governor of Pontus! ”

Xing Xun was neither humble nor arrogant: "Governor Zhu, according to the system, it should be handed over to the Three Law Divisions, and you have no right to take over the items of the traitorous king." ”

"The Governor of Pontus came on the orders of the emperor to be responsible for clearing the Yu Party of King Ning," Xu Tai sneered, "I think you are like the Yu Party, come here, arrest and torture this prefect!" ”

"You dare!" Xing Xun was furious.

Xu Tai really dared, and the prefect of Zhengsipin said that he would be arrested, and he was ready to torture and force him to hand him over.

Wu Wending hurriedly dissuaded: "Governor Zhu, I have something to say." ”

Xu Tai dragged a chair and sat down, and said with great anger: "It's okay if you don't arrest someone, you just let him be obedient." ”

"Don't think!"

Xing Xun also has a temper, he once said that he would surrender the leader of the bandits alone, and he also led his troops to rush to kill and not retreat, stiffening his neck and glaring angrily: "There is no Sanfa Division, at least Dongchang and Jinyiwei should come forward." If you bring 1,000 Beijing soldiers here, you are following the emperor's orders, and I can also resist and disobey the order! ”

Because Wang Yuan flapped his butterfly wings, Jiang Bin did not take charge of Jingying, Dongchang and Jinyiwei at the same time.

Now, Lu Xuan is in charge of the Jinyi Guard, and Li Ying is in charge of the Jinyi Guard. Zhang Yong supervised the East Factory, and Zhu Ying was in charge of the East Factory - Zhang Yong didn't know what ecstasy soup he had poured in, and he asked the emperor to come to the East Factory for the position of number one. Anyway, Dongchang and Jinyiwei no longer have anything to do with Jiang Bin, Xu Tai and others.

Xu Tai and Wei Bin came in a hurry, and only brought 1,000 Beijing soldiers here, without the privileges of Dongchang and Jinyiwei, and the magistrates could really resist and disobey the order.

"How daring!"

The little prefect dared to resist the order, Xu Tai was directly angry, and shouted: "Drag it down and fight, don't worry about killing it!" ”

Wu Wending stopped: "Governor Zhu, Governor Xing is a hero of the rebellion, and you can't be so insulted." ”

Xu Tai sneered: "What counterinsurgency hero? I think he is the remnants of King Ning, otherwise how could he resist the decree and not let the governor of Pontus check King Ning's belongings. ”

Xing Xun was dragged to the courtyard like this, and was whipped by Xu Tai's personal entourage.

Subsequently, other officials who stayed in Ning Wang's Mansion to work were also detained by Xu Tai and tortured to extract confessions. If you don't cooperate, you will immediately be tortured by Ning Wang Yudang, and you can easily get the sealed items.

"King Ning is rich in the world, and everyone in the capital knows about it, how can there only be these goods?" Wei Bin was a little dissatisfied.

Xu Tai gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "It must be those civil officials who swallowed it privately, let's be a step late." ”

Wu Wending explained: "King Ning's money and wealth have been used to recruit troops and buy horses, and he has been rewarded to the rebels in battle, so there is really only this bit of wealth left. ”

Where did Xu Tai believe it, pointed at Wu Wending and said: "I think you are also like Ning Wang Yudang, dragged out and tortured together!" ”

This collective torture yielded no results, and Xu Tai became more and more depressed.

Wei Bin said in a low voice: "It seems that King Ning really doesn't have much silver left, so he has to find some other way to get money." ”

Xu Tai asked, "What is the method of Eunuch Wei?" ”

Wei Bin said: "King Ning has been planning a rebellion for many years, and there must be countless remnants of the party hidden in this Nanchang City. ”

"Hahahaha, the hero sees the same thing!" Xu Tai laughed arrogantly.

When Wang Yangming received Wu Wending's news, he quickly came to Ning Wang's Mansion, only to see many officials covered with scars.

"Zhu Dudu, why is this so?" Wang Yangming asked.

Wang Yangming is Wang Yuan and Li Ying's teacher, Xu Tai behaved politely, and said: "I was ordered by the emperor to investigate the rest of Ning Wang's party, so naturally I must strictly investigate and not let go of any suspicious person." ”

Wang Yangming suppressed his anger: "Is there a gain? ”

Xu Tai smiled: "Not for the time being, but soon." ”

Xu Tai and Wei Bin did not do it themselves, but sent their subordinates and rushed into the mansion in the city when they saw it. It doesn't matter whether these rich families have relatives in the DPRK civil officials or not, they will be tortured on the spot when they are arrested anyway, and only when they give enough money can they prove their innocence.

No matter how clever Wang Yangming is, he can't stop it at all, he can't lead troops to fight with the soldiers of the Beijing camp, right?

He could only send someone to Jiujiang on the one hand and let Wang Yuan sue in front of the emperor. While advising the rich families in the city to leave quickly and go to the countryside to hide for a while, there are still many rich people who are lucky.

The entire city of Nanchang was completely chaotic, the army lost its restraint and could do anything.

These cavalry of the Beijing camp who followed Wang Yuan's array to behead Dayan Khan were originally well-known good men, but now they have collectively incarnated as jackals, tigers and leopards. They committed heinous crimes in Nanchang, and people died every day, and they were tortured to death.

As for beautiful women, don't mention it.

A few days later, the messenger who went to Jiujiang came back to report to Wang Yangming that Wang Yuan had accompanied the emperor to leave Jiangxi.

"Teacher, what should I do?" Ji Yuanheng asked.

Wang Yangming said: "Attack the heart! ”

Wang Yangming was followed by more than 20 students, and immediately went out to organize the people in the city.

Niu Zhen was a banner officer of the 3,000 battalion, he had followed Wang Yuan to conquer Turpan, and he had also followed Wang Yuan to fight against Dayan Khan in the valley, and was promoted from an ordinary soldier to the general banner. In the past few days, he led the soldiers to torture more than 30,000 taels of silver, but Xu Tai did not say anything, and everyone had no idea how much he could share.

It had just rained in autumn, and the weather had suddenly turned cold.

Niu Zhen came out of a rich family's house and shivered in the wind. Suddenly, his subordinates said, "Fifth brother, what kind of battle is this?" ”

But it was more than 20 people in shabby clothes, who came with coarse tea and light rice. The leader said: "This general, King Ning usually killed us miserably, thanks to the general who brought troops over to quell the chaos." You must torture well and find out all the people of King Ning, so that the people of Nanchang can live a stable life in the future. ”

Niu Zhen was stunned, and said with an embarrassed smile: "Fellow villagers, rest assured, I will not let go of a Ning Wang Yu party." ”

The man held a rice bowl and handed it over: "General, we are all poor families, and there is nothing to reward the officers and soldiers, there is only these things left at home, please don't dislike the shabby." ”

A bowl of gruel, a few vegetable leaves, mixed with bran and gravel.

Niu Zhen didn't eat it, nor did he eat it, so he excused himself and said: "I will understand the kindness of the villagers, and I will bring back these foods." ”

Those people immediately knelt on the ground in unison, shouting gratitude to Dade, and they would be sacrificed to the army in life and death.

Niu Zhen and his subordinates could only drink porridge hard, and at the same time, it was difficult to swallow, and at the same time, they felt strange and awkward in their hearts.

After walking for a while, he suddenly met a civil official.

The civil official walked over and said with a warm smile: "All the soldiers have worked hard! ”

Niu Zhen is just a general flag, not even a general, flattered and said: "It's not hard, thank you for your concern." ”

The civil official frowned and said, "The weather is cold, how can you wear single clothes?" Don't get cold. ”

Niu Zhen was speechless, could he say that he was hot when he tortured the rich man, so he took off the stolen fur?

The civil official patted Niu Zhen on the shoulder: "Far away in a foreign land, take care of your body, don't let your wife and children at home worry." ”

"Eh, I see." Niu Zhen nodded again and again.

The civil servant went to talk to the other soldiers, asked them about the state of their homes, and asked for warmth.

Niu Zhen couldn't help but say, "Dare to ask Mr. Daming?" ”

The civil official smiled and said, "My name is Wang Shouren." ”

Niu Zhen was surprised and delighted: "But Wang Erlang's teacher? ”

"Exactly." Wang Yangming nodded.

Niu Zhen admired incomparably: "I have followed Wang Shilang on two expeditions, and I was promoted from a soldier to the general flag, all of which are the credit that Wang Shilang led us to fight." Wang Shilang's teacher is our grandfather. Grandpa is above, please bow to Niu Zhen! ”

Wang Yangming praised and encouraged: "You and the others go into battle to fight, and make great contributions to the country and the people, but also because you take care of your health." Put your clothes on, don't catch a cold. ”

"It's not cold down there." Niu Zhen didn't dare to wear it, and he didn't have the face to wear it, the fur fur was snatched.

Wang Yangming was concerned again, and then walked away.

Niu Zhen and his subordinates fell silent in an instant, and they were always panicked in their hearts.

"Fifth brother, this is a bit excessive."

"That's right, Peng San insulted a woman yesterday, and when he met him on the street, he pulled it to do it. Looking at the woman's dress, she didn't look like a wealthy family. If we continue to do this, we may be insulted to the families of the people who are bringing us food today. ”

"And Wang Shilang's teacher, what a good official, just now warned me to be filial to my parents. I'm ...... I'm ...... It's a shame! ”

"Let's not talk about the things on the skin, Xu Taizhen is not a thing. We have been working tirelessly for the past few days, knocking out tens of thousands of taels of silver, and Xu Tai has not rewarded a penny. ”

"I'm not going to do it, whoever likes to do it. Let's create evil, he Xu Tai takes money, there is no such thing in the world! ”

“……”

In the whole city of Nanchang, there are people everywhere, and there are also many civil officials and scholars.

After only a day or two, the 1,000 Beijing soldiers no longer obeyed the order, and they did not work hard when they tortured the "dirty silver".

Seeing that his income had plummeted, Xu Tai could only scold angrily, and even whip and insult the soldiers in public. Such a stark contrast caused the soldiers under his command to deviate from morality, and gradually they didn't even bother to pretend, and were ordered to go out to copy silver but hide in the restaurant to drink.

On the third day of Wang Yangming's "attack on the heart", the 1,000 soldiers of the Beijing battalion only could, but only a few dozen taels of silver.
