Chapter 366: Is This Your Loyalty to the Ming Dynasty?
"Lead?"
Gan Hui looked at the water too cold in confusion.
This is the fifth day that Long Xingtianzi has been sick in bed, and they and Jiao Wenyu, the envoy of Xingdu Town, have also made full preparations, and even the four cargo ships that are preparing to block the channel are filled with sand and waiting for the order to start. Two barrels of gasoline and dozens of glass bottles were also sent to him, even including the water ghosts and the snorkels and air bags used, as long as the emperor set off for the south, the channel over there was blocked, and the lurking water ghosts would move.
Then let the emperor completely disappear on the Han River.
Even Jiao Wenyu was even preparing to attack northward, and once the emperor disappeared into the Han River, he simply sent a message to Wuchang that Jin Shenghuan had killed the monarch and then raided Yicheng......
Destroy the corpse.
After all, this kind of thing can't be clean.
Such a large-scale attack will always show some clues, but his subordinates, including a main brigade and three militia brigades, raided Yicheng, plus Gan Hui's brigade, adding up to 20,000 troops, can kill all the people who should be killed. Even the Tang King and they are ready to die together, the water is too cold, and these will also sink into the river, saying that these bastards are also ruthless, they will not make those low-level mistakes in this kind of thing.
But now......
Now it doesn't affect their plans.
Even replaced by their lead, it was more convenient for them to do it, but they needed to quickly send someone south to inform Jiao Wenyu and let their fleet go over and sink the ship.
But what they were puzzled about was this way of giving orders.
"General Gan, Your Majesty's health has improved, and he will set off for the south tomorrow, in order to avoid misunderstanding, Deng Guogong will no longer send forward, as for the imperial camp is not familiar with the situation to the south, so the general's department will go south first as a guide, and go to Xingdu to arrange a pick-up!"
Shui Tailiang said with a smile.
"Why didn't King Tang come?"
Yang Xin took the warrant of the Tang King and said suspiciously.
This arrangement is reasonable, Jin Shenghuan will definitely not dare to send the emperor to the area controlled by the Ming army, don't expect to come back if he goes, and he will also not dare to let the Ming army go north to meet him, so maybe people will not leave! In other words, you have to be cautious and cautious in the days of selling cuteness.,After all, not everyone has the qualifications to sell cuteness at will.。 According to the previous agreement, the place where the Ming army was picked up was in Xingdu, that is, Zhongxiang or Chengtianfu, and the emperor had to go to worship Xianling, after all, he was also a descendant of the Xingxian King's line, and this was his great-great-great-great-grandfather. But it is impossible for those Japanese slaves to understand the situation ahead, it is reasonable for Gan Hui's department to change from the guard to the front, and it is unreasonable that Tang Wang should give this order. Because they are only under the command of the Tang King, they are the army, and although Shui Tailiang is a minister, it is impossible for a criminal department secretary to have the right to command the army in any case.
"King Tang is tired from the journey, and he has been unable to sleep at night in the past few days to serve His Majesty, and he is already so tired that he is bedridden!"
The water is too cold to say.
"Tang Wang is sick?"
Gan Hui was stunned and said, "Then I should go and visit." ”
"General Gan, King Tang had just fallen asleep when the old man came, and he hadn't closed his eyes for many days, so there was no need for the general to disturb him!"
Shui Tailiang said with a smile.
"Then it's even harder not to take a look!"
Yang Xin also said with a smile.
"Mu Zhaigong, Corporal Lixian of Tang Wang, this trip is not based on the humble background of the last general, and the last general will be treated with his heart, and the last general regards the Tang King as a respected elder, since the Tang King is sick, how can there be a reason not to visit, General Gan can stay here and arrange to go south, and the last general can go into the city alone to visit."
He continued.
"This, it's really unnecessary!"
The water was too cold, and he said somewhat unpleasantly.
Yang Xincai doesn't care about him!
Although Shui Tailiang brought a warrant from King Tang, before King Tang mobilized them, they basically came over in person to give orders, or the officers around him came with warrants, but today it was replaced by Qian Qianyi, which is a bit abnormal. At this time, the Ming army was not the civilian officials who held the military power before, and now the civilian officials have no right to interfere in the mobilization of the army, and all orders can only be the staff headquarters of the Dadu Governor's Office, and all localities are in charge, and then the combat troops and military brigades are passed on at all levels. Or directly from the Metropolitan Governor's Office Staff Headquarters to the combat troops, like this kind of combat mission belongs to the battalion system, the command of the battalion commander Tang Wang, any orders must be transmitted by the Tang King through the internal channels of the army system.
It is not proper for civil officials to come.
Even if this civil official carried the warrant of their immediate superior, it was not in accordance with the rules, only the officer in charge of the herald next to the Tang King came with the warrant.
Even the house slaves of the Tang King can't do it.
Even if the Son of Longxing wants to bypass the Tang King and give them orders, all orders must be given by the Tang King, or the staff headquarters in Nanjing, otherwise no one can do it. Even if a cabinet minister has a warrant from the Tang King, they must check it, saying that since Qian Qianyi can come with a warrant, why can't he bring an officer with him? Could it be that there is not a single officer around the Tang King who can come to pass the order, so he has to let a civil official be a scholar?
This in itself is puzzling.
Yang Xin ignored Qian Qianyi at all, and then boarded a boat to cross the river by the Han River, the water was too cold and he could only follow him, and then the two arrived in Xiangyang......
"General Yang!"
They met Jin Shenghuan who was leaving the city in front of the gate of Xiangyang City, and the latter immediately greeted him with a smile on his face, saying that he was a prince on one side, and he was so enthusiastic about an ordinary general of the Ming army, and this cute skill was also perfect.
"What does Deng Guogong want to do?"
Yang Xin smiled and returned the courtesy.
"There is a little mess under the rule, I will not send General Yang and General Gan, and the brothers to see them off, and I will go back and ask the dog to send a thousand taels of silver to the brothers."
Jin Shenghuan said.
"Uh, thank you Deng Guogong for the reward!"
Yang Xin hurriedly said.
Then Jin Shenghuan waved his hand, and the team behind him immediately stepped aside, Yang Xin smiled and said Don't enter Xiangyang, he didn't notice the anxiety on Jin Shenghuan's face. Obviously, Deng Guogong's chaos this time was not small, so much so that he immediately moved away from Xiangyang as fast as possible after Yang Xin and the others entered the city, as if the fire was burning in the city that was actually controlled by him, and the fire had already burned to his back.
After Yang Xin and the others entered the city, they went straight to the palace, the palace was busy, those Japanese slaves had already begun to pack up, Shui Tailiang took him directly to the residence of King Tang, but he was blocked out of the bedroom door by two cronies of King Tang......
"General Yang, the king has rested!"
Said the first slave.
The door behind them was closed, there was no sound inside, there were no other officers, there were only two house slaves in the whole courtyard, but outside the courtyard a group of Japanese slaves were looking in.
"I'm careful, I won't make a noise with the king!"
Yang Xin said.
In fact, seeing these house slaves, he was relieved, these two people were the real henchmen of Tang Wang, they used to be from Tang Wangfu, and they grew up with Zhu Yujian and went through hardships together. They are here to mean that Zhu Yujian is really sick, but this is also normal, after all, this period of time is the most stressful for Zhu Yujian, and it can be said that he has exhausted his energy. This matter itself is just Yang Xin and Gan Hui's habitual caution, after all, they don't think there will be any accidents, but now that they are in front of the door, they always have to go in and take a look.
"General Yang, the king hasn't slept for two days!"
The slave said dissatisfied.
"Then it won't make a noise with the king!"
His blocking made Yang Xin really a little suspicious, the two didn't know each other, Zhu Yujian was not a deep girl, and it was inconvenient for men to see it in bed. I haven't closed my eyes for two days, and it's not easy to wake up when I fall asleep, let alone be woken up just because he went in to take a look.
After speaking, Yang Xin walked directly to the door.
The water behind him was too cold, and his face immediately changed, and he gestured to the two house slaves with his eyes.
The two house slaves leaned towards the middle, firmly blocking the door, and one of them immediately pressed the hilt of the knife to stop Yang Xin with a firm gaze, and the personal soldiers accompanying Yang Xin directly pulled out their short guns. And Yang Xin looked at the two of them sternly, the eyes of the two flickered a little, and Yang Xin's hand was also pressed on the handle of the saber, but at this time, the water was too cool and walked forward with a gloomy face and inserted it in the middle.
"General Yang, you're too rude!"
He said angrily.
"Mu Zhaigong, I just want to take a look at King Tang!"
Yang Xin said with a smile.
As he spoke, he didn't take his hand off the hilt.
Similarly, the soldiers behind him also turned on the faucet of the short spear......
"No need, this king is not dead yet!"
The voice of Tang Wang inside suddenly sounded.
"Is the king really okay?"
Yang Xin said suspiciously.
"Will the king be bedridden?"
Zhu Yujian inside said angrily.
Yang Xin could confirm his voice, and immediately removed his hand from the hilt of the knife, and the personal soldier behind him put away the short spear.
"It's the last general who is reckless, the king, please rest in peace, the last general will leave for the south immediately!"
Yang Xin then said.
After speaking, he didn't delay any longer, ignored Qian Qianyi and turned around and left directly.
Behind him, Qian Qianyi watched him disappear from his sight, then he breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head and waved back, and a group of Japanese slaves who were originally outside this courtyard suddenly poured in, raising their guns one by one to aim at the two house slaves. The two house slaves threw away the knives and short guns with an indignant face, and then let these Japanese slaves come forward to bind themselves, but Qian Qianyi didn't care about them, and went straight forward and pushed open the door, and Zhu Yujian inside looked at him with a gloomy face. But at this time, the Tang King was not bedridden, but sat upright on a chair, but the muzzles of two flintlock pistols were pressing against his head, and a dozen Japanese slave soldiers were surrounding him with guns.
There were even blood stains on the floor of the room that hadn't been cleaned up, and there were several obvious knife marks on the walls.
"Mu Zhaigong, this is your loyalty to Daming?"
Zhu Yujian, who was wrapped in a bandage on his leg, sneered.
"King Tang, the lower officials are also for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, and they have to do it as a last resort, fortunately, Your Majesty has woken up, and you have wronged the king in the past few days, and when Your Majesty is still in Nanjing to correct the world, the lower officials will make amends to the King of Tang again!"
The water was too cold, bowed deeply, and said.
