072. To Fort Xiulin

Remember [Literature Bus] in one second, and read it for free without pop-ups!

In the past two quarters of an hour, Zhao Dongting and the guards still failed to catch up with Sha Wanli.

Sha Wanli is burly, has martial arts practice, has four arrows stuck in his body, and has been hit by a palm, but he has never declined.

As he galloped, the archers could no longer shoot him with arrows.

In this way, before I knew it, I was running in front of a continuous walled city. The houses in the stockade are tall and row upon row.

Zhao Dongting and the others rode to the front of the walled city, but there was no trace of Sha Wanli. At the gate of the wall, there are many people with swords and torches waiting for them.

Looking at the posture of these people, it is clear that they are all practitioners.

Yue Peng immediately shouted: "Did someone break into your village just now? ”

Zhao Dongting looked up at the plaque of the walled city, but he was thoughtful.

Schulinburg ......

How did Sha Wanli come here?

None of the guards answered.

Yue Peng drove his horse up a few meters and asked, "General Ben asked you, did anyone break into your village just now?" ”

A man who looked like a leader replied, "He broke in." ”

Yue Peng immediately raised his gun and shouted: "Go in with General Ben and get people." ”

At the very least, they had to rush into the stockade.

But I didn't expect that those walled guards would not let them, and they still blocked the door to death.

Yue Peng said angrily: "I'll wait to go in and arrest the important criminal, but dare to stop you?" ”

"Don't bother the general."

At this moment, a hearty laugh came from inside. Then more than a dozen people came out of the walled city.

The leader was a spirited old man with a strand of gray hair in the middle of his forehead. He was holding something in one hand, and it was Shawanli.

At this time, Sha Wanli was already out of breath.

The old man walked out of the gate of the walled city and threw Sha Wanli's body in front of Yue Pengma, "The general is looking for the culprit, but he is?" ”

Shawanli's body rolled on the ground several times, and finally faced up. The eyes turned out to be round with a self-stare.

Yue Peng couldn't help but be slightly surprised, although Sha Wanli was injured, but after all, his kung fu was very good, and he was killed in such a short time after breaking into the walled city?

But at this time, the people in the walled city had already thrown out Sha Wanli's corpse, and he could only give up his hand and say: "It's hard!" ”

The old man at the head said: "The general is polite, I should serve the imperial court in Xiulinbao. ”

His words can be described as righteous and resolute. Immediately, his eyes glanced at Zhao Dongting and Li Yuanxiu.

Zhao Dongting looked deeply at the hanging "Xiulinbao" plaque, and said to Yue Peng: "Bring back the head of Sha Wanli, go!" ”

Yue Peng slashed Sha Wanli's head with a gun, held it in his hand, and a group of horse soldiers guarded Zhao Dongting and left quickly.

Along the way, Zhao Dongting always frowned.

He wondered how Sha Wanli could gallop to this Xiulimburg, was it because of a coincidence?

After walking not far, in the night in front of the road, more than a dozen people suddenly galloped forward, and the speed of running was not much slower than that of horses.

Yue Peng was shocked and hurriedly stopped in front.

When they came near, they stopped and were beggars in rags. The person at the head is Hong Wutian.

Zhao Dongting was slightly surprised, and shouted, "Senior Hong, why are you here?" ”

Hong Wutian suddenly knelt on one knee and fell to the ground, and then said to Zhao Dongting: "The beggar gang helps Hong Wutian, and brings the elders of the beggar gang to see the saint!" ”

The beggars behind him also knelt down, "Knock on the emperor!" ”

The old beggar who was kidnapped by Sha Wanli and injured Sha Wanli by surprise was also among them.

Zhao Dongting sniffed out some unusual smell, and asked suspiciously: "Senior Hong, who are you?" ”

Hong Wutian stood up and explained with a smile: "Please also ask the emperor to forgive me, after I found Sha Wanli, I deliberately asked a few elders to dress up as ordinary beggars to guard him. Being held hostage by him in the mountain temple was just deliberate. ”

Zhao Dongting was stunned for a moment, and suddenly said: "Senior Hong is testing me, right?" ”

Hong Wutian smiled a little wryly, and then said: "The emperor cares about the common people in the world, and is willing to let go of Sha Wanli for my beggar disciples, and the old man is also relieved to hand over the beggar disciples to the emperor." It's just that...... I don't know if the emperor is willing to include my beggar disciples in the army? ”

Zhao Dongting was overjoyed and hurriedly asked, "How many disciples does the senior beggar gang have?" ”

Hong Wutian said: "There are more than 10,000 people who can enlist in Leizhou!" ”

"Good!"

Zhao Dongting was even more overjoyed, "I am special...... Divine Beggars! Tomorrow, we will arrange for the generals to accept the beggars and help the children enlist in the army! ”

The elders of the beggar gang beside Hong Wutian were all overjoyed when they heard this.

Ordinary beggar gang disciples are not like them, most of them are forced by life and displaced to join the beggar gang. The leader of this trip came to Leizhou with tens of thousands of disciples, and survival has become a problem, if he can't join the army, he is afraid that he will be scattered again. Now that Zhao Dongting personally promised and set up a beggar army, those beggar disciples will finally be able to worry about food and clothing in the future.

Moreover, Kuang Guo to save the people was originally the purpose of the beggar gang in history.

Hong Wutian also said: "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

After he tested Zhao Dongting, he recognized Zhao Dongting, and naturally he was no longer as arrogant as before.

Zhao Dongting asked with a smile: "Then the old Hong seniors and the elders, did they also join the army with the crowd?" ”

Naturally, he was looking forward to it. Hong Wutian's kung fu is not lower than Li Yuanxiu, and there are these beggar gang elders, if they join, the imperial court will no longer be so powerless to deal with the people in the martial arts in the future.

It's just that Hong Wutian politely refused, and said: "The old decay is used to being casual, so it's better to stay in the rivers and lakes and lead the disciples to continue to resist the Yuan army." ”

The rest of the elders also meant the same thing, and no one said that they wanted to enlist in the army.

Zhao Dongting had some expectations in his heart, but he didn't feel too disappointed after listening to it. He just had just had a little hope.

Usually, these people are reluctant to join the imperial court, after all, they don't know how to govern, and it is not easy to lead troops to fight. Otherwise, there would not be so few masters in the Southern Song Dynasty.

Zhao Dongting arched his hand, "That's fine, the seniors are righteous." ”

Hong Wutian also arched his hands freely, "Your Majesty, don't let that old decay pass for the time being." ”

As he spoke, he smiled and left with all the elders.

Zhao Dongting looked at their free and easy appearance, and muttered in his heart, "This is the people in the rivers and lakes......"

For a while, he was a little envious of the freedom of these people in the rivers and lakes.

This night, he had to go out of the mountain to Dongyang, kill Sha Wanli, and beggars helped more than 10,000 children, which finally dispersed a lot of the boredom in Zhao Dongting's heart.

When he returned to the palace, he practiced the internal skills and the room technique, and then fell into a deep sleep.

It had been a long time since he had fallen asleep so easily.

Early the next morning, before the early dynasty, he took Li Yuanxiu out of the Zhizhou Mansion and personally went to Xiang Dongyang's house to ask Xiang Dongyang to go to the early dynasty.

Li Yuanxiu was holding the official uniform in both hands, which was the official uniform of the Xuanhe Palace.

When he arrived at the door of Xiang Dongyang's house, Zhao Dongting personally knocked on the door, and when he saw Xiang Dongyang, he said: "Please let Xiang seniors be my master of the Xuanhe Palace to assist in political affairs." ”

"This ......"

Xiang Dongyang looked at Zhao Dongting in shock, then knelt on the ground, and said gratefully: "The minister bows to thank the emperor." ”

He really didn't expect Zhao Dongting to give him an official position so easily, and he was a bachelor of Xuanhe Palace. Although the bachelor is not an official with real power, he is the third product of the Eight Classics, and in the Southern Song Dynasty, only the emperor's favored ministers can receive this honor.

Li Yuanxiu smiled and handed the official uniform to Xiang Dongyang, and said, "Congratulations to Bachelor Xiang." ”

Zhao Dongting said: "Mr. is talented, only this false position is naturally wronged." As long as the field division system is implemented, I will be rewarded separately. ”

Xiang Dongyang bowed again, "Thank you, Holy Lord." ”

Fortunately, it was dark at this time, and there were no pedestrians on the road, otherwise I was afraid that it would be a scene of kneeling on the street.

Zhao Dongting helped Xiang Dongyang up, and then, when Xiang Dongyang closed the door, he went to the palace of the Zhizhou Mansion.

When the hundred officials arrived, they saw Xiang Dongyang, who was wearing the official robe of the Xuanhe Palace, and they all looked puzzled.

Zhao Dongting sat on the dragon couch and said, "Introduce a colleague to all Aiqing." ”

said and pointed to Xiang Dongyang, "This is Mr. Xiang Dongyang, Mr. Xiang is talented, I asked him to go out of the mountain to assist in political affairs, and temporarily reside in the position of a bachelor of Xuanhe Palace." Although this is a vacant position, the Scholar has the right to discuss the affairs of the various ministries and departments of the Ministry of State, and you must not neglect your proposal to the Bachelor. ”

The ministers were even more surprised, they didn't know where this old decay Xiang Dongyang came out, and he was so trusted by the emperor.

But Zhao Dongting had already said this, and they all had to respond: "The ministers obey the order." ”

Zhao Dongting nodded, looked at Su Quandang, and said: "General Su, the beggar gang will have more than 10,000 children enlisted in the army in the near future, I have promised to set up a special beggar army, you will go to set up a recruitment camp for the beggar army, register the disciples of the beggar gang, and the beggar army will be commanded by you for the time being." Everything you need in the army will be provided to you by Lord Shang Shuliu of the Military Aircraft Logistics Department. ”

Su Quandang was overjoyed, and Liu Shangshu of the Military Aircraft Logistics Department should be at the same time.

Zhao Dongting looked at Mu Kangxun, the governor of Leizhou, and said, "Mu Zhizhou, the murderer Sha Wanli has been beheaded last night, you will remove the wanted warrant for Sha Wanli on the same day!" ”

"This!"

Mu Kangxun said with a bitter face: "The thief Sha Wanli has been ambushed? ”

Zhao Dongting was puzzled: "What's wrong?" ”

Mu Kangxun slurred: "Yesterday...... Yesterday evening, some local nobles and gentry gathered in front of the palace to make trouble, and the Queen Mother suspected that they were related to the thieves who assassinated them in the Wuliang Palace Mountain, and they were all imprisoned......"

"What?"

Zhao Dongting's face instantly became a little difficult to look at, "How many people are there?" ”

Mu Kangxun trembled and replied: "There are dozens of people, all of whom are well-known people in this Leizhou Mansion. ”

Zhao Dongting was stunned and came from the heart.

Originally, I thought that according to Xiang Dongyang's method, the field division system should be able to be implemented smoothly, but now it seems that I am afraid that I will have to add to the waves.

Those nobles were arrested and imprisoned, and they were afraid that they would complain about the court......
