Chapter 696: It's Good, It's Good!

Ninghai Prefecture Zhimuping County, under the jurisdiction of Wendeng County, is one of the two cities in the east of Shandong Province closest to the sea. Due to the frequent wars in the early Ming Dynasty, three-quarters of the troops in Shandong were stationed here. There are Jinghaiwei in the south, Chengshanwei in the east, Weihaiwei in the north, Ningjin in the southeast to guard the thousand households, Haiyang to guard the thousands of households, Jinshan to guard the thousands of households, and the hundred-foot cliff to guard the thousands of households. The troops from all over the place were combined with the Tuntian soldiers, and there were more than 10,000 people.

In recent years, the number of unrest has gradually decreased, and the population of Ninghai Prefecture has naturally increased a lot. However, the Han King Zhu Gaoxu rebelled against the flag in one fell swoop, and even their places were not immune to the impact.

Since three days ago, more than 500 people occupied the Zhizhou Yamen and took over the defense of the entire city. Seeing the streets full of brightly dressed and swaggering sergeants, people were afraid of it. However, the people living in the city have their own livelihoods, and they have to work hard to live, but when there are no outsiders behind their backs, there are few discussions.

"A few days ago, I sent someone to ask the people of Sixiang to pay tribute to pears, didn't the prince of the Han Dynasty stay here and didn't want to leave?"

"Who says they don't want to go? I heard that the prince of the world was not in Zhizhou Yamen at all at this time, and he took the team to Weihaiwei! ”

"We Shandong has never stopped, listen to my grandfather said, at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, when the world was in turmoil, Shandong bore the brunt, I don't know how many people died, and then Jingnan, this township formed a large army Qin Wang, and countless people died. The first two times were still far away from Dengzhou, but this time the prince of Han is making a fuss with us, and the imperial army will not slaughter the city, right? ”

When the word Tucheng exited, the small tea stall next to the south gate of Ninghai Prefecture City suddenly fell silent. In the early years, Zhu Dijing led his troops to fight, the villages became ruins, the city became a dead city, and the southern soldiers crossed the border and encountered those cities that supported King Yan. If they really want to repeat the mistakes of the past, then should they leave their homes and flee now, so as to avoid this catastrophe first?

"There is no place to live when the spring mud returns, and there are few people for thousands of miles in the red land...... This fire has already burned to our Dengzhou, can other places be too peaceful? This kind of year, it's the same everywhere, it's better to stay at home honestly than to die outside without a whole body! The man who said this was a gray-haired old man, dressed in a white cotton shirt, and he was a well-known old master in the locality. Seeing that a few guards at the gate of the city came over, he waved his hand and signaled everyone not to gather here, and quickly dispersed, sighed softly, and muttered to himself, "Where are these soldiers, they are clearly bandits and evil parties, and what ......kind of people did the Han king gather?"

Before the group of people at the tea stall could disperse, there was a sudden commotion at the south gate. A few young men knew that more was better than less, but they still craned their necks curiously to look at the excitement, and when they heard cheers from the city gate, it was the Le'an Han Mansion that sent reinforcements, and everyone left listlessly. Only the white-haired old master stood on crutches on the side of the road for a while, and when he saw more than 100 cavalrymen roaring past on horseback, he couldn't help frowning.

These people looked completely different from the group of people brought by the original Han Wang's son, and there was such a strong elite in the Han Wangfu?

Smoothly mixed into Ninghai Prefecture, Zhang Yue naturally breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately sent the order straight to the Zhizhou Yamen. It was probably because the group of people brought by Zhu Zhanyan, the son of the Han Dynasty, was too strong and domineering, and now they are such a group of people galloping across the long street, and there is no one in the middle of the road along the way, and when they arrived at the Zhizhou Yamen, he nodded and waved his hand, and immediately someone rushed forward to hold all the unknown people in front of the Yamen, and followed suit, and a group of cavalry who dismounted entered the Yamen in an orderly manner. At this time, he smiled at Fang Ling who was next to him.

"Fortunately, we have your accurate information, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to take the opportunity of that prince to leave and sneak into the city."

"Even if he is here, we can come in lightly and skillfully under the banner of King Han, and my efforts have not been in vain for more than a year." Although the new monarch did not move the position of Jinyiwei when he ascended the throne, Fang Ling has always been a little worried, after all, he is very worried that he is a greedy villain in the eyes of Zhu Zhanji, and now he is ordered to escort Zhang Yue to Dengzhou, he is relieved, and said with a smile at this time, "Besides, the king of Han is stingy with his son, and he actually gave it to such a group of rabble." ”

While the two were talking, the sound of ping-pong fighting and sporadic screams rang out inside. Before these movements subsided, many Wei Yong scattered in the city gradually rushed over, but Zhang Yue and Fang Ling still had more than 20 elites left around, and after a boring fight, a large number of people soon lay down on the ground. Suddenly, an officer from the Zhizhou Yamen hurried out and knelt down on one knee to perform the military salute according to the rules.

"Back to the two adults, the Zhizhou Yamen has been cleaned up, and it is said that the Zhizhou Lord is imprisoned in prison, do you want to release people?"

"Naturally, it's released!" Zhang Yue replied without thinking about it, and when he saw that the officer got up to leave, he called him again, "Send a few more people to the north and south city gates, and try to hold all those guards." Remember, it has to be complete one by one, so that if Zhu Zhanyan comes back, he won't be able to see the flaws. From now on, the city gate is allowed to enter but not to leave, and then send someone to tell the whole city to see what the situation of the yamen officials is now, and drive them to patrol the streets to maintain law and order, and put up a notice in my name to reassure the people! ”

Fang Ling saw that Zhang Yue's piles were arranged in an orderly manner, and he couldn't help but give him a thumbs up in admiration. Only he accompanied him, but he was also a spy set up here by Jinyiwei in advance, so he said to Zhang Yuefen, and he left in a hurry with two subordinates. And Zhang Yue dismounted and entered the yamen, and saw two sturdy soldiers carrying a middle-aged man with bruises on a stretcher.

"It's all incompetent...... The lower officials can't dissuade these rebellions! The people in the city are innocent, and please give me mercy! ”

Seeing that it was the people who were entrusted by the Zhizhou with tears in his eyes, Zhang Yue hurriedly agreed, and ordered someone to ask for a doctor, and then went to the public court to write a notice for the people, and asked the sergeant who knew how to write in the entourage to copy more than a dozen copies. At noon, the servants who were originally subordinate to the Zhizhou Yamen had a notice and scattered them all over the city to post them, and the people who were confused by the changes in the city immediately helped the old and the young to watch.

"Tell the people of Ninghai Prefecture that the king of Han will not seek rebellion, and heaven will not tolerate it. Han Shizi and the traitors occupied Ninghaizhou, beat Zhizhou, and bullied the people, and the official was ordered by the Son of Heaven to clear and pacify, and restore the place Qingning. Now our emperor has announced to the world that he will defeat the enemy and sweep away the rebellion in one fell swoop, and the people of the world can rest assured......"

The white-haired old master standing at the front read aloud word by word, and because the words were easy to understand, the people who had never read the book behind could also understand them, so they gradually showed joy. The white-haired old master read it to the end, but he paused, staring at the payment and the official document for a long time.

"Old Master Huang's ......"

"Zuo Du Yushi Zhang Yue, it's really good to come......" He muttered to himself and read the signature, suddenly turned around with his cane, and said loudly to everyone, "It's Lord Xiao Zhang of Qingzhou Mansion in front, and it's Lord Xiao Zhang who leads the troops!" ”

Although he was old, this was a heartfelt voice, and everyone in the four places could hear it clearly. With a cheer, everyone shouted along with the shout, and for a while, the big locust tree was full of cheerful shouts. Not only in this place, but almost every place where the notice was posted erupted into the same scene. The people who were worried for a few days put down their minds, not only because the imperial court finally sent someone, but more importantly, the person sent by the imperial court was Zhang Yue!

Although that Lord Xiao Zhang once cut off hundreds of heads in Qingzhou in one go, now the whole of Shandong has implemented the rules of mutual assistance, and policies such as tax exemption for land reclamation have also been implemented all the way, and they, the people of Dengzhou Mansion, have also benefited. Besides, as long as Xiao Zhang has come out over the years, almost nothing has been unsuccessful, and the prince of Han will definitely be a problem!

When the security notice successfully calmed down the people in the city, Zhang Yue had already counted the people and was ready to go. Previously, Liu Zhong had rushed to Weihaiwei with one hundred and eighty people, and at this time he expected to have bumped into the prince of Han. Although he firmly believed in Liu Zhong's ability, he was not sure about the veteran's words, so he decided to rush over there to meet him.

"Brother Fang, I'll leave it to you here. The people defending the city camp have already gathered, and the second gate is closed, as long as it is not attacked by a large army, it will not be hindered for a while. ”

"You really don't need me to come with you?"

"Don't worry, they are either your subordinates, or the elite drawn from the Beijing camp, and it is no problem to deal with a few rabble."

Fang Ling really couldn't imagine where Zhang Yue's confidence came from, but he expected that the emperor would dare to send Zhang Yue out of the horse, and he would not touch the stone with an egg, so he had to stop. personally sent people out of the north gate, and seeing the smoke and dust of the dozens of horsemen rolling away, he immediately cheered up and turned back to renovate the city that had just been "recovered". According to the eyeliner report, there are still quite a few nails here.

Weihai Weiwei city wall stone base, outside the brick lay, inside solid rammed earth, the city is five feet wide, eight feet deep, occupies more than six miles of the place, it is a fortified fortress in the east of the sea, the army is about 2,000 people, but because of the repeated resistance to the Japanese invaders, the combat power is stronger than the Qingzhou guard Yanzhou guard and so on.

At this time, the scene of saber rattling in the foyer of the Health Department had been going on for a long time. Zhu Zhanyao, the prince of the Han Dynasty, led a group of subordinates to occupy the right side, while Liu Zhong and others occupied the left side, but the commander Wei Qing did not look at these two people, only stared at the middle-aged officer standing next to Zhu Zhanyan. Finally, he couldn't hold back the anger in his heart anymore, and shouted: "Licheng, as a commander, you dare to rebel? ”

"Rebellious? Commander Wei had better understand the current affairs, you must know that the king is defeated, and the father and king of the other day have taken over the world, and the master is the first-class hero! Zhu Zhanyan closed the fan hard, and said with a smile, "Commander Wei has not been guarding this Weihaiwei for a day or two, and he has won the praise of the people here, and he is also very disciplined in leading the troops, but you have the same name as the famous general Wei Qing, do you have the opportunity to stretch your talents?" You have been under Liu Zhong for many years, has he ever recommended you and promoted you in the slightest? No! ”

Zhu Zhanyan was submissive in front of his father Zhu Gaoxu, and he was inconspicuous in the capital, but now that he was finally sent out to take charge alone, he had the heart to gather some of his own team, and he had to put aside the demagogic words that had been dotted many times a long time ago: "If you kill Liu Zhong and return to your father, you will be a hero of the other day; If you are obsessed, you can only die with him! Master Li was personally brought up by you, and you should know what his prestige is in the army......

"Not all the people in the army are fools, how can they listen to your demagoguery!"

Liu Zhong couldn't help but be annoyed when he saw that Zhu Zhanyan actually treated himself as fish on the chopping board. He is also the man who was killed in the blood rain, at this moment Huo Di stood up, suddenly tore open the placket of his clothes, revealing his still chest, and then he beat his right chest hard: "Liu's life is here, if you have the courage, come and take it!" But don't forget, I don't care about my life, the person who can do it will be a rebellion of the court from now on, and there will be no chance to turn back, you must know that this time it is the emperor's personal expedition! ”

Although Zhu Zhan arrived first and controlled the situation first, Liu Zhong was one step behind, but at this time, the situation was already divided. After all, the seal of loyalty is engraved in the hearts of most people, and no one is willing to bear the name of rebellion. Seeing that all the people around him were a little cowering, Zhu Zhanyan realized that he had made a mistake. Even his Laozi Han King Zhu Gaoxu, he only raised the banner of Jingnan, and he didn't dare to justifiably say that he wanted to seize the world.

But the water that was spilled out of the words could not be collected at this time, so he had to turn his heart sideways and said viciously: "Father Wuyong is invincible in the world, that is, Emperor Taizong is also known as Yong'er, even if he is pro-conquest, he will inevitably break his feathers!" Commander Wei, I will only give you another chance to breathe, if you are obsessed after ten breaths, don't blame me for being polite! One! ”

Counting together, the situation that Liu Zhong was so easy to pull back just now suddenly changed again. The group of people behind Zhu Zhan drew their weapons, while the number of people on the other side was slightly smaller, although the swords were unsheathed, they all had solemn faces. Just as Zhu Zhanyan slowly recited a cross, there was a sudden earth-shattering noise outside. The next moment, a voice came through the courtyard.

"At sea, dozens of ships have sailed over at sea!"

Hearing this voice, Wei Qing, who had been standing still, suddenly pulled out his waist knife and said sharply: "Licheng, if it is because of you that the Japanese invade the internal chaos, not to mention the upper and lower guards, who can spare you among the people of Shandong!" ”

In the midst of the panic and suspicion, Licheng is also as earth-colored. At this time, a sergeant who had just been sent by Licheng to guard the outer courtyard rushed into the hall in a rage: "My lord, it's not good, the sea is ...... The sea seems to be a great treasure ship! Also, outside the city, more than 100 cavalry rushed over outside the city, under the banner of ...... It's Zhang! ”

"Hahaha, it's good, it's good!"

At this moment, Liu Zhong, who had known in advance that there was such a step, couldn't help laughing. In the midst of laughter, I don't know how many steel knives fell to the ground with a bang, and the crisp sound was unusually terrifying.
