Chapter 52: Zhu Mian, King of the Southeast

Bao Xu held back for a long time and said: "If Miss Liang becomes the eldest brother's woman, then Liang Lie will become your father-in-law, Old Taishan, what if he violates military discipline?" ”

"There is no mercy for killing." To build an iron military code, Liu Zhenglong set the military discipline more is the death penalty, corporal punishment is very little, in this era is the most important thing is people, what is lacking is the general military discipline of steel, only in this way, can we conquer everything, invincible. He said categorically: "Don't say it's Lao Taishan, it's my woman, son, brother, and I still have three words to kill without mercy if I violate military discipline." Of course, whether it is killing or other punishments is still based on military discipline. Bao Xu, you, the god of mourning, are responsible for singing blackfaces, supervising military discipline, and letting the faceless Jiao Ting be your deputy, okay, don't talk about this, call the brothers over for a drink, I guess the other two people should also come over? ”

Bao Xu, the god of mourning, is murderous and ruthless, and the implementation of military discipline is no more appropriate, so he agreed without thinking about it.

On the third day, Yang Zhi, Yan Shun, Jiao Ting, and Yu Baosi came over with Mu Hong and Mu Chun.

When he saw that Li Jun, the big boss of Jieyangling, had joined the Long Xiang Army, why should he and his brothers be stubborn?

Mu Hong pulled Mu Chun to Liu Zhenglong and knelt down and swore an oath. This ceremony made Liu Zhenglong feel helpless and couldn't stop it, but he still decided to improve it and prepare to set up an army self-inspection organization in the Longxiang Army, similar to the Jinyi Guard of the Ming Dynasty, and even the military commanders of later generations, so that on the one hand, he only grabbed this army, and on the other hand, he could also collect intelligence from the outside world and carry out special tasks.

The reorganization of Long Xiangjun is almost completed, Liang Lie's father and son have not yet arrived, at this time, Liu Zhenglong realized that something was wrong, and he asked Li Jun and Yang Zhi to go on a trip to see what happened to Zhang Shun and Zhang Heng's brothers.

After Li Jun and others came back, Liu Zhenglong knew what was going on, it turned out that Liang Lie, the father and son in charge, really couldn't support the wall, and took the navy to Xunyang River, but they were played by Zhang Shun and Zhang Heng, and the two were almost arrested to see the official.

Facing Liang Lie and Liang Hong's kneeling of the father and son, Liu Zhenglong didn't know what to say, he really wanted to kill them, but he hadn't talked about military discipline before, otherwise he really wanted to sacrifice their heads to the flag.

That night, Liang Hongyu took the initiative to come to Liu Zhenglong's room, which frightened Liu Zhenglong, and he said hesitantly: "You, what are you going to do?" ”

"I, I know that my father and brother are in trouble, I don't know how to atone for their sins, as a woman, that's all I can do."

"You can't do that?" Liu Zhenglong stopped Liang Hongyu, he carefully helped this beauty to put on her clothes and said: "Military discipline is like a mountain, if there is such a rout after the military discipline is set, it will be unforgiving." Now, the two of them don't know military discipline yet, so I'm not going to kill them. It's just that if you are not punished for such a rout, how can you convince the public? ”

"Let them leave the Long Xiang Army and become rich men." Liang Hongyu snuggled in Liu Zhenglong's arms like a human, and she said delicately: "People take off their clothes, not only to atone for their fathers and brothers, but also because people like you and want to be your woman." ”

"Silly boy, you're still young, wait two years." Liu Zhenglong, who came from later generations, still felt that the little girl was only sixteen, and it was a bit too early to turn the dragon and phoenix upside down at this time. Besides, feelings still need to be cultivated.

"What's small, my cousin is thirteen years old. Adults don't want me because they don't like Red Rain dancing knives and guns, and they don't want me because of a girl. Liang Hongyu misunderstood, she hugged Liu Zhenglong tightly with both hands and didn't let go, and the little girl said coquettishly: "I don't want any reputation, I don't care about anything, I just want to be your woman." ”

"Two years, two years later, I want you." Liu Zhenglong's thoughts are still unacceptable, after all, in his psychology, the girl sixteen is too young, but how did this guy know that it was normal in the thirteenth and fourteenth days of the Great Song Dynasty.

In the end, Liu Zhenglong gave Liang Lie, Liang Hong's father and son 10,000 yuan, let them be rich men, of course, Liang Hongyu borrowed the identity of a man to nominally control this water army, after all, this water army, although it is only a box army, but after all, it is a regular establishment, which does not need to be approved by the Privy Council, and will not cause the jealousy of the imperial court.

Nominally, the navy is in the hands of Liang Hongyu, but the actual leader of the army is Li Jun, the dragon of the mixed river, she is just a deputy, of course, it can only be like this.

Long Xiangjun set off after half a month of reorganization in Jieyangling, and Liu Zhenglong knew that no matter what, he had to go to Suzhou to visit Zhao Kai, the king of Yun.

The imperial court's expectation for Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, is to recover Hangzhou, as for the rebellion against the rebellion, it is the matter of the right guard general Pan Jing, of course, the Great Song Dynasty will always be the civil official as the main commander, and the military general can only serve as the deputy marshal. Once King Yun Zhao Kai leaves, then the imperial court will definitely send a new Xuanfu envoy to Jiangnan, either a civil official or a eunuch, which Liu Zhenglong knows very well, so he must hurry up to see King Yun.

These days, Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, is worried, he is confused when he comes to Jiangnan, he doesn't know how to quell the rebellion, and he doesn't know how to recover Hangzhou, in fact, it's not that this prince doesn't know, but Pan Jing doesn't know.

When he saw Liu Zhenglong, Yun Wang Zhao Kai seemed to have seen a savior, he took Liu Zhenglong's hand and said, "You are here, what are you busy with these days?" What should we do now, how should I reply to my father. ”

"Your Highness, our mission to the south of the Yangtze River is different, your task is to recover Hangzhou, General Pan's task is to quell the rebellion, and my task is to capture Zhu Mian."

"Don't go around in circles with this king, just the two of us here, you just tell me what to do next, the lonely king can't return to Beijing for the New Year, but the spring festival must not be missed, you know this better than anyone else."

Yes, time is tight, Liu Zhenglong knows that he can't participate in the Spring Festival, but the palace exam in April should be able to catch up, anyway, he is a protΓ©gΓ© of the Son of Heaven, as for not participating in the imperial examination, he will directly enter the palace examination, which is a headache for the adults of the Ministry of Rites, and he doesn't have to worry about it himself. But King Yun must participate in this scientific expedition, otherwise where does the name of this champion prince come from.

Liu Zhenglong said with a smile: "Lord Wang, there is no problem, you just need to introduce me to Zhu Mian." Hangzhou is recovered, I will find a way, and it will not delay your return to Beijing. It's just that once you leave Beijing, it is very important who the imperial court will send over to supervise the army next, do you have an idea about this, prince? ”

"Nope." Yun Wang Zhao Kai really has no idea, he knows a lot of courtiers, but that person can lead the overall situation of counterinsurgency, this young prince really doesn't know, he knows what it means to pacify Fang La, and he also knows that once he fails, then he will be completely out of touch with the prince, and it will be impossible to compete with the crown prince Zhao Huan for the throne.

Liu Zhenglong's head is bigger, he knows too little about the imperial court, Zhang Shuye has the ability, but the level is not enough, but if he doesn't handle this matter well, then he won't make wedding dresses for others in vain.

"That's it, lord, let me think about this matter, you should prepare to return to Beijing now, the matter of Hangzhou, I promise to recover Hangzhou before you arrive in the capital."

Liu Zhenglong finally set his eyes on Pan Jing, no matter what, the second master of the Pan family, a meritorious family, should know that those officials in the imperial court are suitable.

Pan Jing has also been in turmoil recently, he led 30,000 forbidden troops to the south, but he really faced Fang La's millions of people, and it was not easy to put down the rebellion.

Originally, Pan Jing didn't like Liu Zhenglong very much, but when he saw Liu Zhenglong at this time, he was like seeing a big savior, and he couldn't wait to confess this guy.

Pan Jing set up a banquet to entertain Liu Zhenglong, and also hinted that he was willing to give the most beautiful Pan Jinxu of the Pan family to the other party, and finally this guy said: "This army has come to Jiangnan, what should I do next?" ”

"Regain Hangzhou and compress Fang La to a reasonable range!" Liu Zhenglong said it very easily, as if this matter was caught.

"You say be specific, I'm going crazy these days, you recommended that Uncle Zhang didn't come up with a specific battle plan, if you can't recover Hangzhou, the court will definitely blame it."

At this time, Liu Zhenglong understood that Pan Jing didn't believe Zhang Shuye at all, and Zhang Shuye was also timid, and did not come up with an effective combat plan, so that the 30,000 army did not dare to attack Hangzhou.

It seems that Fang La's millions of thieves are indeed able to bluff people, and even Confucian generals like Zhang Shuye have been bluffed. Liu Zhenglong can't be relied on now, he can only rely on himself, he smiled and said to Pan Jing: "It's not difficult to recover Hangzhou, the problem now is that King Yun will return to Beijing soon, and then who will come to supervise the army, I don't know much in the court, your Pan family should have important ministers of the court who you know, or eunuchs, you must be qualified to supervise the army, and it is friendly to the Pan family, and you must support King Yun." ”

"I'm not familiar with this, let me tell my eldest brother, he should have a way, now you don't talk so much, now hurry up and talk about how to take Hangzhou."

Now, Liu Zhenglong understands that Pan Jing just can't support the wall, maybe the entire meritorious group is like this, and he can't blame this guy. He thought for a while and said, "You call Uncle Zhang over, and I'll come and finalize the battle plan with him." ”

"Okay, I'll tell my eldest brother about flying pigeons today." Pan Jing doesn't have anything to do now, he knows that he can only take one step at a time now, it is obvious that this Liu Zhenglong has a way, just see how long it will take to take Hangzhou.

In fact, it is not difficult to take Hangzhou, now Hangzhou is full of holes, most of the rich are in exile, the city is chaotic, there are smashing and looting everywhere, and there is bloodshed and killing people everywhere. It can be said that the once prosperous Hangzhou has become a hell on earth.
