Yan Chengjin said frankly: "It was the lower official who recommended the adult." ”

Wang Yue was stunned for a moment, and then his face changed greatly: "Why did the virtuous nephew want to harm the old man?" ”

"It's a great way to build merit for adults."

Wang Yue groaned a few times, and his face was embarrassed: "Even if the old man makes more achievements, he can't be a marquis, it's better to be a legendary gentleman who is praised by the world. ”

"Then you have to go."

Wang Yue looked dazed.

"If you want to wash your reputation, you have to give your name to your majesty, this is the second step plan formulated by the lower official for your lord, and your lord can write this experience of suppressing bandits into his confession.

The chapter name is called ......

Pacify the bandits and rule the prosperous world!

If the adults pull out this cancer, the people will be grateful, and the reputation of the adults will rise, and the real name of Mr. Chuanshi will be exposed......"

Lao Wang, you have to do public welfare!

Wang Yue's mind is so active, he understands it as soon as he says this.

When he was on the border, the people on the border were very supportive and loved him, and they even came to the big tent to send him cattle and sheep.

Isn't it because he killed the captives who plundered the border, and in addition to the great trouble in the hearts of the people, that he was loved?

But when he returned to the imperial court, he had no reputation, because the people here were not protected by him.

Wang Yue's old eyes were cloudy, and he sighed: "For the sake of the old man's reputation, the virtuous nephews have lost weight." ”

"The adults helped me earn a lot of silver, and the adults were fortunate."

Wang Yue happily agreed to go, Yan Chengjin told a serial plan to suppress bandits, Wang Yue listened, immediately entered the palace to resume his life, and ordered his subordinates to go back to the house to pack up and leave the palace.

When he went out on the expedition, he always only brought a green steel sword, and now that the green steel sword was given to Yan Kesong, he had to bring a new one and carry his own Wanshi bow on his back.

Jiujiang Prefecture,

In the past few days, Jiang Cheng, the prefect of Jiujiang Prefecture, has been sweating in a cold day, and he is so anxious that he has been looking forward to it in the yamen all day and night, but he has not seen anyone sent by the imperial court.

As soon as the river and lake pirates heard that there was money and grain to be escorted, as if they had distributed money, they rushed ashore to loot and reported their names to the government, without paying any attention to the officers and soldiers.

"If the court ignores it, ignore it, at the end of the month, this batch of tax grain is robbed again, and the old man will give the thief as his own uncle, anyway, when the time comes, the court will blame it, and the black gauze hat will be dropped, maybe he will have to go to the army." Jiang Cheng cried with a sad face, and said angry words to the master on the side.

"Master, there is an old man outside, who said that he was sent from the imperial court." The door soap ran back to report.

Jiang Cheng's face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly went out to greet him, but he didn't expect that there was only an old man and two entourages to usher in.

Jiang Cheng was anxious: "Could it be that the lower official didn't say it clearly enough in the recital?" The bandits are roughly estimated to have thousands of people, why are there only three adults? ”

What he didn't know was that in fact, Emperor Hongzhi only sent Wang Yue alone, and the two entourages were still Wang Yue's own pro-army.

Wang Yue muttered: "Why are there only a thousand people? ”

“？？？” Jiang Cheng felt as if someone had stabbed him in the heart.

In fact, for Wang Yue, he has come to the world, and it is a suppression to suppress a hundred people, and a suppression of 10,000 people is also a suppression.

It's better to make a big splash and add a good name to Mr. Heirloom.

Wang Yue got off the horse and ordered: "The old man must not leak it to the outside world when he comes here, so he said that the imperial court only let Jiujiang Mansion suppress the bandits by itself." ”

Jiang Cheng didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd, but Wang Yue was sent by the imperial court, and he had to follow the documents.

Wang Yue asked his entourage to post the will of the imperial court, join the reserve of the military garrison, reduce taxes for one year, retain the civil registration, kill the thieves and bandits with silver rewards, and pay the court with silver when they die.

Now that the weather is very cold, the harvest is already small, I heard that the tax is exempted for one year, and the household registration is retained, and after the fight, the people can be returned, and the robbers are killed and there is silver?

It's almost impossible to survive.

Upon hearing such a good thing, many people rushed to sign up.

"Do you want a homeless?"

"As long as you have the strength, you don't care."

The news spread at once, and people from all over the country rushed to the camp.

The two people brought by Wang Yue were both good hands in the army in the past, and they had kung fu in their hands, so they pretended to be homeless people, and spent a little money to introduce them into the bandits' den.

In these years, it is more popular to fall into the grass, and the two of them have kung fu in their hands, so they were hit by the bandit leader.

Two days later, the news came.

One person successfully infiltrated the undercover of the lake bandits, and the other successfully infiltrated the undercover of the river pirates.

Jiang Cheng didn't know what this god of war was going to do, but he saw that on weekdays, he wrote books and practiced calligraphy, and he was not in a hurry.

He was in a hurry, seeing that the last batch of late-harvested grain was about to be transported to Taicang, the name of Wang Yue's military god, he had already heard of it, but even if you have three heads and six arms, it is impossible for one person to beat hundreds or thousands of bandits, right?

After signing up, there are now 30,000 people, and Wang Yue naturally wants to practice.

Together with the officers and soldiers of the sub-patrol road, after practicing for 15 days, he ordered Jiang Cheng to transport grain, afraid that the bait was not big enough, and he also released the news that this year's tax silver of tens of thousands of silver would be transported to Taicang together, or that way.

On the second day, Wang Yue got the news that the river thieves and the lake thieves wanted to eat this batch of grain and silver.

Wang Yue pulled out the green steel sword: "Go with the old man to kill the thief!" ”

…………………………

More than ten days have passed in the blink of an eye, and no news has been sent back from Jiujiang Mansion.

Emperor Hongzhi was a little anxious, Yan Chengjin said that he was only 30% sure, could it really be that there were only 30%?

The bandits in Poyang Lake have been plagued for a long time and have been suppressed repeatedly.

Even some of the ministers who had previously supported them began to waver, and suspicions appeared.

Ma Wensheng, the secretary of the Ministry of War, thought about it and thought about it, but still felt that it was inappropriate: "Taking the people as soldiers, taking some risks, officers and soldiers can't exterminate thieves, how can ordinary people be the opponents of thieves." ”

Qu Shen also said in the middle of the war: "I don't know how many people have to pay for their lives, and I am afraid that it has increased the arrogance of thieves." ”

Li Dongyang's old face was slightly red, but he agreed to increase the military garrison at the beginning.

At this time, a telegram sent from Jiujiang Mansion was finally delivered to the capital, and the eunuch presented it to the warm pavilion.

Emperor Hongzhi's face was solemn, and he opened it: "The more the minister and the king look up to see the emperor's appointment of the heart, the more cautious the intention of the machine, the minister should be self-conscious, loyal and make up for the wrong...... The minister lived up to His Majesty's high hopes, recaptured the tax grain, exterminated 382 river thieves, and exterminated 1,324 Poyang Lake thieves, including thieves, women and children, the minister could not bear to slaughter, and begged His Majesty to forgive! ”

Li Dongyang and the others all looked at Emperor Hongzhi with blank eyes, only to see Emperor Hongzhi laughing: "Wang Yue lives up to expectations!" ”

Exterminated?

Ma Wensheng and the others looked at each other.

Of course, ordinary people are not opponents of thieves, but what Ma Wensheng doesn't know is that the people of Jiujiang Mansion have long been forced to suffer by thieves, and there are already 30,000 recruits, and there are only 1,000 thieves.

Can a thief fight three, but can he beat ten?

"Your Majesty, can you let the minister see ......" Ma Wensheng said incredulously.

Wang Yueyang wrote thousands of words, explaining how His Majesty valued himself, how he repented and reflected, how he made up for his mistakes, and how he couldn't bear to kill women and children.

Ma Wensheng ignored these nonsense, looked directly at the key points, won the war, recaptured the tax grain, served the nest, and got a lot of money and food hoarded by thieves?
