Chapter 120: Capture
In the hall, Lu Ning held a letter and looked left and right.
Mi Zhu stood respectfully on the side, since Lu Ning revealed her identity to her, some things also need her to do, and it is rare to have time to train her, so she also has to go to her brute force and let her act more brainily.
The letterhead in Lu Ning's hand was a letter drafted by Feng Yanlu and Sun Sheng to Gao Rong, the assassin of Chaozhou in the Southern Han Dynasty, in which Lu Ning asked Gao Rong for 300,000 yuan of firewood, filial piety and funeral expenses on behalf of Long Rubu.
Sun Sheng has already pleaded guilty, and this letter is mainly done by him to polish his pen, and he is full of joy and righteousness.
Nodding, Lu Ning was very satisfied with the letter.
In fact, for the Southern Han Dynasty, not only this letter will be sent, but also a letter of state will be sent from Nanjing to Xingwangfu (Guangzhou), the capital of the Han State, and the letter of state states that the State of Qi will recruit the native barbarians of Chu and Lingnan in Daozhou of Chu, and train them to go to the Nanyang countries as a soldier.
Daozhou is at the southern end of Chudi, and further south is the territory of the Southern Han Dynasty.
Guizhou, Yongzhou, Rongzhou, Liuzhou and other places are barbaric, not far to Daozhou, and these states are almost the most barbarian state capitals in Lingnan and West Dao.
Of course, to recruit the barbarians, Lu Ning naturally paid a lot of money, and whoever was selected as a barbarian could get twenty yuan, that is, a settling-in fee, which was a lot of wealth for the remote barbarians, of course, paid to the barbarians, it could also be distributed in the form of food and cloth.
Of course, such a high price to recruit the barbarians, naturally will also be the best of the best, the recruitment of the barbarians, there are only two thousand places, of course, if the number of barbarians who go to Daozhou is very small, the number of recruits will also decrease.
This army recruitment fee, Lu Ning had already said that he would pay for it, and the cabinet agreed, but then returned the annual currency to the inner government, and the Tang State had 100,000 yuan a year, even if it could finally recruit the barbarians, it would only be used less than half.
Lu Ning of the Red Tiger Army is ready to temporarily make up 5,000 people, and now there are 500 swordsmen, if the barbarians can count enough, they can recruit 2,000 people, plus some recruited by the Longru Department, hundreds are recruited in Quanzhang, and the remaining more than 1,000 people are drawn from Chu, of course, after the transfer, not only the soldiers, but their families will naturally move to Quanzhang.
Nowadays, although all the small princes of Chu are nominally subordinate to the Qi State, they are all in their own ways, Wang Hanshi has just arrived in Changsha not long ago, naturally he will not see the effect so quickly, and the military horses are drawn from Chu, first, it is true that the Red Tiger Army needs soldiers, and there are many soldiers in Chu; Second, it is also a step to disrupt the existing pattern of the small princes of Chudi.
Of course, recruiting barbarian soldiers in Lingnan in Daozhou, where is the Han lord willing to release people, but in this way, it will inevitably make many barbarians dissatisfied with the Han lord.
For the Southern Han Dynasty, there was only one conquest, because the lord of the Southern Han Dynasty claimed to be the emperor.
The year before last, Liu Sheng, the former Han lord who killed more than a dozen brothers, died of illness, and was succeeded by his eldest son Liu Gang.
Speaking of which, from a certain point of view, Lu Ning admires Han Guo very much, and what he doesn't dare to do, Liu Sheng, Liu Jun, father and son, have done a full job.
Two years before Liu Sheng's death, he actually made two palace people as maids.
These two palace people, one is called Lu Qiongxian, and the other is Huang Qiongzhi.
The two of them are not female officials in the Wu Zetian era, but they really wear court clothes and crowns to discuss with the ministers in the temple, and Liu Sheng especially trusts the two of them, the so-called "clan nobles, slaughtered." ”
Now that Liu Gang has succeeded to the throne, he still retains two maids, and Lu Qiongxian is named a talented person.
can make the father and son two emperors fascinated, this Lu Qiongxian is naturally described by the outside world as a stunner who captivates the country and the city, "light body, snow-white skin", and said that she "sings and dances, and is a superb scholar" and so on.
And Lu Qiongxian has a lot of legends in later generations, and the people of the Ming Dynasty have gods and monsters who say, "Chongzhen, there are people who invite immortals, Qiongxian to, and the title cloud is 'light and not allowed to be neutral in the wind, and the wrist is white and sorrowful to teach the moon to see." Obviously, later generations are also very fascinated by her demeanor, and they feel that she should be in the immortal class, even if she is not a true immortal, she is also a scattered number.
However, in the history books, as long as the women involved in political affairs are naturally criticized, the absurdity and brutality of the two generations of emperors of the Southern Han Dynasty are naturally done under the charm of Lu Qiongxian, such as Liu Sheng killed more than a dozen of his brothers, also because of Lu Qiongxian's fallacy.
Nowadays, the outside world also says the same, Lu Qiongxian and the witch Fan Huzi, plus the eunuchs, controlled the government of the Han Kingdom.
Of course, judging from the secret intelligence, this statement is not unreasonable.
And it is precisely because of this uncertainty of the Southern Han regime that the recruitment of barbarian soldiers in Daozhou is actually a little bit possible.
Donghai Baixing had already sent a small shopkeeper to the Southern Han Dynasty to bribe Lu Qiongxian, hoping that she would persuade Liu Gang to agree to the matter.
However, this Liu Gang has a bit of a bad brain, and no one knows what crazy things he will do in the next moment.
Historically, it was Liu Gang who took the initiative to attack Daozhou, which had been subordinated to Zhao Kuangyin, that is, the state capital where he was now going to recruit barbarian soldiers.
This made Zhao Kuangyin overjoyed and immediately crusaded against the Southern Han Dynasty.
So, there are a lot of things that I really can't predict.
While pondering, the scribe from outside said, "The General Academy, Commander Wei has arrived!" ”
"Please come in!" Lu Ning slowly leaned back in the seat, and Wei Ling strode in from the outside.
Lu Ning looked at him and suddenly said, "Commander Wei, are you guilty?!" ”
Mi Zhu, who had already been ordered by Lu Ning, immediately took two steps, pulled out the scimitar in his hand, and the four giant swordsmen behind the curtain on both sides walked out, all holding the Han Sensen giant sword with both hands, and it looked like Wei Lan dared to resist and was killed on the spot.
Wei Lan's face changed slightly, "General Wenyuan, what does this mean?" ”
Lu Ning stared at him: "Li Shanxing has been captured, and in two days, he should be deported here, do you understand what I mean now?" ”
Wei Luan's face changed again, and he shook his head and said: "My subordinates don't know, but the General Court of Literature can't cover the sky with one hand, even if I and the General Court have a crush on the same woman, the General Court should not announce that personal vendetta frames me!" ”
Since he wants to pour dirty water on Wen Ada, no matter what, this kind of word will have an impact on this Wen Ada, and maybe, someone will turn over old accounts in the future, which is also a stain on Wen Ada.
"Bold dog!" When Mi Zhu heard him so rude, she was already furious, and rushed up and kicked the fat soles of her feet in Wei Lan's lower abdomen.
Wei Lan took off his saber before entering the yatang, and how could he dare to resist, this kick was solid, his face turned pale immediately, he took two steps back, covered his lower abdomen and slowly knelt down, and couldn't get up for a while.
The greatswords of the greatswordsmen on both sides were across his neck.
"Go to jail, Mizhu, you take care of it yourself!" Lu Ning waved his hand.
"Great! Host...... Rest assured! Mi Zhu patted the trembling ** guarantee, and gestured to the giant swordsman, set Wei Lan up, and escorted him out.
