Chapter 731: Ruthless Killing Intent
Chapter 731: Ruthless Killing Intent
In the Panwan Mountains of Guangxi, when the danger of the three rivers, from Hongwu to Jianwen Yongle, the Yao Rebellion in Guangxi has never stopped, especially the Datengxia Zhuyao is the most difficult to level. This time, Gu Xingzu, the Marquis of Zhenyuan, led 50,000 troops into Guangxi, first leveling the Yao Rebellion in Datengxia, and then Zhao Xian of Chongshan County, the Tuguan Zhi County, raised troops to plot rebellion. However, after all, the Ming army was well-equipped and outnumbered, and after more than a month of marching, Gu Xingzu swept away Si'en Yu Kou in one fell swoop and captured more than 1,000 rebellious people.
Sien County is located in the center of Siyuan Province, with the Huanjiang River to the west. At the end of Yongle, the governance office was moved from Huanjiangzhou to Qingtan Village, saying that it was a county, but in fact there was no city at all, surrounded by dense water systems and large and small mountains, it was a place that was easy to defend and difficult to attack.
It's just that no matter how difficult it is, it can't carry the sharp firearms of the Ming army. Now after the big victory, Gu Xingzu has to give the officers and soldiers a holiday, and let them take turns hunting in the mountains for fun, as for what those officers and soldiers who have not touched a woman for a long time will do when they are horny, and what they will do when they are not greedy, he is even more deaf.
He didn't bring a monk soldier, he fought hard and shed blood, wasn't it just for the fun at this time?
"Master Hou, a total of more than 60 pieces of gold have been seized in the big and small Yao villages, which is equivalent to more than 500 taels of gold, more than 1,000 taels of silver, in addition to more than 1,000 pieces of crude utensils and knives and weapons, and more than 800 stone ...... grain."
"Okay, needless to say, these are poor ghosts, and Benjue knows that there is not much oil and water!" It was not the first time that Gu Xingzu had led his troops to quell the rebellion, so he waved his hand angrily when he heard the scribe report a small half, "You collect a whole number of gold, and the rest, along with silver and valuable utensils, will be distributed to the officers of more than 1,000 households, and the rest of the grain and rice will be distributed to the soldiers below." Order, these three days can be indulged casually, after these three days, they will all give me the truth! Follow Benjue to fight, you won't treat them badly, go! ”
After the scribe had hurried away, he washed his hands in a basin of water, and then his own soldiers removed his armor and helmet. Taking off his boots and lying comfortably on the wicker chair, he waved impatiently away from his own soldier. He closed his eyes and was about to squint for a while, but who knew that at this moment, he heard a voice from outside: "Master Hou, I'm back safely." ”
"Come in!" He suddenly opened his eyes, and when he saw Gu Ping'an hurriedly coming in and kneeling down on one knee to salute, he asked bluntly: "I've been busy fighting wars these days, and I've kept you to deal with those things in Wujing Prefecture, and I haven't asked about it." Since you came over, I think the Xu family sent the money that was owed before? ”
Finding Gu Xingzu's eyes staring at him, Gu Ping'an couldn't help but feel apprehensive in his heart, and it took a long time to bend his other leg, and he actually knelt down on both knees and kowtowed a few times: "Master Hou forgives his sins, the little one is incompetent." News came from the Xu family that Zhang Yuanjie actually borrowed more than 20,000 stone of rice from the various health offices of the capital, and insisted on suppressing all the grain prices in the prefectures and counties of Zhaoqing, Guangzhou. Now the grain ships from Huguang have arrived one after another, and the price of grain is actually above 90 yuan of doumi. The Xu family had a cumulative deficit of tens of thousands of dollars because of the previous high-priced grain, and they wanted to make up some ideas for the merchants at the wharf to receive the goods. Who knows, just a few days ago, the Shibo Mansion and the Yamen of the Political Secretary suddenly joined forces to seal the dock and drive away the original gang. Also, originally they got twenty men and women in private, and they originally planned to sell them overseas, but now it turned out to be the East Window incident, and even the remaining hundreds of people didn't dare to send them out......"
Before he finished speaking, he felt a foot suddenly coming towards him, and he didn't dare to dodge for a while, but he was kicked over by this sudden kick. Finally getting up, he hurriedly prostrated himself and did not dare to look up, and heard a heavy gasp from above, followed by a burst of angry scolding.
"Rubbish, what rubbish! I can't do such a little thing, and I can't do it for so many years! He didn't notice anything about such a big thing as the transfer of grain by the Dusi Yamen, what kind of snake is this? The more bold he is, the more daring he dares to attack the idea of guarding the grain stored, he is not afraid of the trouble of the imperial history to find him, and he is not afraid of the judge to find his shortcomings? Also, when will it be his turn as a political envoy to take charge of the city! Zhang Qian is just that, it's nothing more than wearing a pair of pants with the Zhang family, but what is the matter with Li Long, who is the commander of the capital, when did he and the Zhang family also get into a relationship? ”
Even though he knew that this was not questioning himself, Gu Ping'an still felt frightened. The late Gu Cheng, who was posthumously named the Duke of Xia Guo, had a total of nine sons, Gu Xingzu's father was beheaded by Emperor Jianwen on the charge of rebellion, and he followed his grandfather Gu Cheng since he was a child. I don't know how long it took for the roar in his ears to gradually subside, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief, so he replied in a low voice.
"Back to the Hou Ye, Zhang Yuanjie is indeed bold, but, according to the small report, now Du Si and Zhen Si are the only ones who look forward, and they both command Li Long to get at least two or three thousand benefits in this Pingguang, plus he sent troops to arrest Qin Huai at the dock before, I heard that this time Zhang Gonggong also brought praise. As for Yu Liang, the envoy of the Imperial Procuratorate, he won the blue eye of Gu Zongxian of the Metropolitan Procuratorate because of the impeachment of a large number of officials with the Imperial History of Guangdong, and it is said that he can be transferred to the Metropolitan Procuratorate after the expiration of this term......"
"Okay, very good, it seems that Zhang Kill will not only kill people, but also buy people's hearts!"
Gu Xingzu snorted coldly, his heart suddenly appeared, and he slowly walked into his place and sat down. After pondering for a while, he ordered Gu Ping'an to get up, and then suddenly asked: "You mentioned before, when Qin Huaijin Jin Cicada came out of its shell, there were assassins who plotted to assassinate a cadre of officials from the Guangzhou Mansion, and they were all Li people?" ”
"Yes. Why did Master Hou ask this? ”
"These Li people have confessed to having dealings with the Yao people in Guangxi?"
After receiving Gu Ping'an's affirmative answer, Gu Xingzu suddenly frowned and thought about it. After a while, he lightly ordered: "You can just let people pay attention to the affairs of Guangzhou, let it go for the time being, and don't need to contact the Xu family." Greedy and incompetent, if it weren't for the fact that most of the Gu family's money was run by them, I wouldn't be too lazy to care about their business. I have already obtained it before Qin Gongwang, and now you will bring two proper people to the trial. Remember, any punishment can be used, and even he can be allowed to live. As long as he confessed to colluding with the Li people in Qiongzhou Mansion in Guangdong, he tried in vain to echo each other and rebel. With this confession, I can fight in the ring, you know? ”
Gu Ping'an didn't understand the purpose of his master's order, but he didn't wake up until he heard it, and he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. It's just that he just wants not to be angry with himself for the moment, and he doesn't care about the rest, and immediately tiptoes out of the house as soon as he agrees. When he got outside, he couldn't help wiping his forehead, but found that his hands were already wet, and his back and head were all sweaty, sticky and uncomfortable.
And Gu Xingzu, who stayed in the room, walked back and forth a few steps, and finally let out a sneer. If you want to kill the head, that little hairy child is far away! Although Zhang Yue can't come to Guangxi, he wants to let the other party see what corpses are everywhere!
At the beginning of September, the good news of Gu Xingzu, the Marquis of Zhenyuan, was released. It was reported that Sien County was restored, and Qin Gongwang and other rebels were all arrested. In order to calm the barbarian troubles and stabilize the people's hearts, more than 1,000 and 50 people under Qin Gongwang were beheaded.
The British Mansion of Jingshi Qingshui Hutong.
In autumn, the capital has gradually cooled, so the people in the house replaced the green yarn on the window with strong cotton paper early, and took advantage of the good weather to check out many big plush clothes and put them in the sun to dry. In addition to taking care of the affairs of the inner house, Mrs. Wang often goes to the study to quietly watch a few children who are reading.
Because Zhang Yue once mentioned that the children in the family were of the same age, it was better to study together, and now Zhang Fu complied with this proposal, packed up a spacious study, and let a group of children listen to the lecture together, but he gave Liang Zang a silver ring ruler and set strict rules. Now, in addition to the cousins Zhang Jing and Zhang Tian, there are also Meng Ang and the young Tianci, as well as Zhang Chen, who comes to listen to his homework from time to time.
Liang Zang is now in his early twenties, although he is young, he is from a scholarly family after all, he has a solid foundation, and he is also proficient in reading scriptures and history. Although he attaches great importance to male and female defense, after all, the two female students are not yet ten years old, so he is not uncomfortable. Originally, he was worried that the children of the family were stubborn, but as a result, except for the older Meng Ang and Zhang Jing, who were a little naughty, and Zhang Jing was eccentric, the rest were all honest one by one, and even Tianci was sitting upright. Over time, he also fell in love with this group of sensible little guys, and taught them to write and draw when he had nothing to do.
When class ended this day, because tomorrow was the day of the Double Ninth Festival, Liang Jian naturally assigned another homework outside of schoolwork, but asked everyone to go back and paint a picture together, as long as the topic of Chongyang was cut. As soon as they heard this, the little ones all looked at each other, and when they left the courtyard of the study, they couldn't help but chatter. Zhang Jing puffed up her mouth and said: "Mr. has taught us to draw flowers and plants before, but now we want to draw what Chongyang Festival, can we still draw any Chongyang climbing map?" It's easy to take a day off, but it's such a problem. ”
Zhang Tian gently pulled Zhang Jing's sleeve and whispered, "Sister Jing, it's not good to say bad things about Mr. behind your back. ”
"Good, good, I know that you respect Mr.!" Zhang Jing grinned and took Zhang Tian's hand, and then smiled at Meng Ang, "Brother Ang, you have the most ghost ideas, and this is the oldest for you and Fifth Brother, so I'll leave the matter of thinking to you!" ”
When Meng Ang reacted, he saw that Zhang Jing had already pulled Zhang Tian and Tianci away from the smoke, and couldn't help but stomp his feet angrily and said, "Third aunt, you are so cunning!" Seeing Zhang Cheng standing there thoughtfully, he had no choice but to step forward and complain, "Fifth uncle, you are an elder brother, you should also take care of the third aunt, and let him bully us every time!" ”
Although he is the oldest, Zhang Qian is only Zhang Xin's son after all, he was originally in the clan study, and now he is only an observer, where do he dare to argue with these cousins and cousins, at this time, when he saw his nephew Meng Ang complaining about himself, he couldn't help but be speechless. Meng Ang was a human spirit, and when he saw him like this, he came to his senses, and couldn't help but pat him on the shoulder as if he were an adult.
At this end, Zhang Jing pulled Zhang Tian and Tianci along the white stone path and ran into the corridor, and saw a few girls chasing after her and panting, so she smiled at the two of them: "Brother Ang and Fifth Brother are clever and fast-mouthed, and the other is a stuffy gourd, these two people are a perfect match, let's save worry!" Now we go around the window and enter the courtyard through the corner gate, which scares the aunt! ”
Zhang Tian is honest, God's gift will eventually return to the small, and Zhang Jing has always been the only one who looks forward, plus one side is tightly pulled, and the two can't say anything anti-dialogue, so they have to follow her. When the three of them panted and made a big circle to the back window of Madame Wang's courtyard, they heard a sound of talking from inside.
"Master, didn't the Queen Mother mention it before, saying that the emperor is young, please do your best to assist. Now that you have just been promoted to the rank, is it too hasty to resign as the governor of the Chinese military capital and the governor of the government? ”
"Doctor Guanglu, Zuo Zhuguo, Chao Shuowang, this is undoubtedly the treatment of those honored ministers. And serving the emperor day and night, planning military affairs, this is almost the same as the cabinet ministers. The implication is that if I don't know how to read it, it will be really boring. After all, it is taboo to hold military power for a long time, even if you don't think about the family members who are now popular, you have to think about it. ”
The three children who were standing under the window eavesdropping couldn't help but look at each other, especially the youngest Tianci, who was even more confused because he heard his name. This one was careless, and his foot kicked the stone below. Although it was only a slight crackling, the words inside immediately stopped, and immediately after, the wooden window was suddenly pushed open. Zhang Fu, who held up the window with one hand, saw three stupid children under the window, and his originally gloomy face suddenly showed an angry and funny expression.
"What are you guys doing, don't come in yet!"
Zhang Jing quietly stuck out her tongue, hurriedly pulled up the left and right people, hurriedly bypassed the east wall of the courtyard, and entered the courtyard from the main gate. When she entered the main house and saw that Mrs. Wang was glaring at her angrily, she hurriedly saluted, and then explained curtly: "I originally just wanted to take them through the corner gate to avoid people sneaking in to scare the eldest aunt, but I happened to hear it through the back window when I passed by, and I really didn't mean to eavesdrop." Tianci heard the hall uncle say his name, so he kicked the stone......"
"If you hear it, you hear it, don't walk behind the window in the future, the girl's house should be like the girl's house!"
Seeing Zhang Jing nodding obediently, Mrs. Wang couldn't help sighing, thinking that Zhang Zhuo and the Sun family were both cautious outside, how could they give birth to such a daughter. Seeing that Zhang Fu was already smiling and sitting down, she stretched out her hand to call the children over, asked a few words of schoolwork, and taught Tianci earnestly: "Learn from Mr. Xiaoliang well, and you will have to take on heavy responsibilities in the future, understand?" ”
Seeing the three children standing there and nodding violently, Zhang Fu couldn't help but close his eyes and ponder. Zhang Zuo went to Guangdong to help his son, but his career was completely unwanted. He wanted to do the same, but unfortunately his son was still too young. Now that he is planning a military matter, he still has to take care of the places that should be managed. Gu Xingzu, the Marquis of Zhenyuan, killed more than 1,000 Yao people in Guangxi to build a Beijing Temple, and the song was written impassionedly, but the source of that murderous spirit was strange, and he needed to send someone to remind Zhang Yue.
