Chapter 145: Global Wanted
The fire burned brightly, and there was a tooth-aching creak from the flames.
Kang Ning turned around and left, not estimating Xu Hongru who was standing beside him, but just ordered He Guan who came up: "Go and search, we don't have much time." ”
He Guan was stunned, almost not understanding what Corning asked him to search.
"Go search for Wang Haoxian! To live is to see people, and to die is to see corpses. The White Lotus Sect must not leave a remnant of sins. ”
He Guan bowed down to receive the order, and rushed out with a large group of people.
Kang Ning walked straight to Hu Luguang and asked, "Hu Luguang, did you send someone to control the warehouse inside the stone Buddha's mouth?" ”
"Every warehouse has been watched, but we don't know if there is a secret passage in the warehouse. So I still have to give the order of Childe and ask those who were captured to do me a favor. ”
"You're responsible for that. You don't have to give them too many benefits, after all, you have to put them on a desert island to reclaim, and you can do it yourself. ”
Hu Luguang nodded in agreement, turned and left.
The next thing Corning didn't see anyone, leaving the whole camp to spend the night in joy and busyness.
What is he doing?
It turned out that he was discussing with his recently subdued subordinate Liu Yuewu how to report this victory to Emperor Wanli.
Compared with anyone who knows the atmosphere of officialdom better, the details of the communication between monarchs and ministers have been seen throughout the entire regimental training camp, and they are not as clear as Liu Yuewu, the newly appointed governor of Shuntian.
One night later, two urgent reports were sent to the palace, but one was sent by Kang Ning to the newly returned Huo Wu, and the other was the normal route of civil officials. This one is naturally from Liu Yuewu's handwriting.
The reason why Liu Yuewu was also asked to send out a copy was to let the civil officials also know what happened today.
In this way, the old emperor will naturally give an explanation. This was a rebellion that had already been detected by the Jinyi Guard, and I was going to send a large army to clean it up, but the Jinyi Guard used the power at hand to settle the battle cleanly. This is since the adaptation of Jinyiwei last year. The latest victory.
Of course, he will also remind his courtiers that all kinds of actions of Jinyiwei need to be kept secret. The explanation for this matter to the outside world is that there is a large-scale armed fight between quantitative or religious sects, as for why cannons can also be used in armed fighting, it is not something that he, the emperor, needs to bother to explain, and he has his own local officials to play freely and give a reasonable explanation to the people under their rule.
As a result, various propaganda versions of the whole thing began to spread in Hebei and Shandong. And the two places have Liu Yuewu and Shi Ziming co-ordination for their own purposes. It turned out that there was not much difference between the various versions. This is a good disguise for the existence of Corning and others.
Don't look at the slow speed of information transmission in ancient times, but it is not very easy to achieve stealth completely.
At least the next action will make a big noise.
Kang Ning had not yet received satisfactory news from He Guan, and although He Guan had made an inventory of every mountain within a radius of twenty miles, he had never found any trace of Wang Haoxian.
On the other hand, Hu Luguang brought an unexpected surprise, in addition to more information about Wang Sen's treasury, some people claimed to know Wang Haoxian's whereabouts.
But the location they reported was so far away that Corning had to make a massive rapid sortie.
And the urgency of the matter. He even suggested that Kang Ning reveal his identity as a brocade guard, so that the officials in various places along the way could draw appropriate troops to cooperate.
Because they may face another rebellion.
"Gong Mengchun. This guy who should have defected on April 14 was due to my intervention. changed the original trajectory of his life, but he eventually reversed. ”
Kang Ning was talking to Hu Luguang as he opened the map of Henan.
"It's too far. Unless one person and three horses are guaranteed, it is difficult to arrive in a short time. And. Those who don't go must be the elite of the elite. Luoyang City is not something that can be captured by cavalry. ”
Hu Luguang was also very depressed: "Tell me about this Wang Haoxian, who never discussed the rebellion with her father, but ran to Luoyang, Henan. Contact that called Gong Mengchun. I just don't understand, what are they going to the map? ”
Kang Ning snorted coldly: "What else can I do, the soldiers mutinied, and the yellow robe was added." Who is Gong Mengchun? Although he is only a thousand households, there are only eight hundred soldiers under his hands, but these soldiers are all soldiers of the Fuwang Mansion. Although King Fu went to the vassal more than a year later than in history, this rebellion is still about to happen this year. It's just that I didn't expect that Gong Mengchun's mutiny would have the shadow of Wang Haoxian. This Wang Haoxian is really capable. All kinds of connections are everywhere, and I'm almost exhausted. ”
Only then did Hu Luguang understand that Wang Haoxian still had this hand.
This information was quickly sent to the Son of Heaven, along with a letter from Corning. Because he made a quick decision, he asked Huo Wu to use the identity of Jinyi Wei to rob six hundred war horses from the nearby military camp. The officers there saw that their beloved war horses had embarked on the road of doomed borrowing and no return, and they cried bitterly on the pillars of the gate.
The cry almost made Huo Wu give up his plan, but thinking of the possible consequences of Gong Mengchun's mutiny, he gritted his teeth and left with his war horse.
"It's still not enough." Fire Dance, who returned to the camp, didn't expect Corning to say such a sentence bluntly. He had no choice but to say: "It's not easy." We've robbed them of their hearts. ”
Kangning shook his head, and scraped together 1,500 war horses, which could only be distributed according to the standard of one person and three horses because of the long and rapid march, so these war horses were only enough for 1,500 people to ride.
Because He Guan failed to catch Wang Haoxian, he reported himself and bravely asked to join the war, but he did not get Kang Ning's permission. Only the five hundred elites carefully selected by Hu Luguang participated in this trip, including the cavalry carefully trained by Hu Luguang, and the escort of the Huanglin caravan brought by the Water Committee.
The others were responsible for escorting the loot back to Qingzhou Mansion and handing it over to Zhuge Liang for disposal.
Xu Hongru led his men and horses back to Yanzhou Mansion. After confirming that Kang Ning, who had risen but was co-opted by Huang Lin, would not be his enemy in a short period of time, he was ready to go back to develop with peace of mind.
He Guan and PLO alternated between transporting and guarding the surplus supplies, and soon transported them in batches to the port of Tianjin, where they were then transported by boat to Qingzhou Prefecture.
Kangning's cavalry troops passed through the prefecture and county, but at this time they still failed to reach the territory of Henan.
At this time, the old emperor received Kangning's urgent secret music, and he was immediately furious. Ordered the military headquarters to go out immediately and protect King Fu. However, the order of the Ministry of War had not yet left the capital, and the news of the mutiny of the soldiers of the Fuwangfu Mansion had already reached the capital.
Immediately afterward, there were many rumors in the capital. It is rumored among the people that Zhu Changxun, the king of Fu, is preparing to raise troops in the fiefdom of Luoyang to stand on his own because he resents that Emperor Wanli did not give him the position of crown prince. However, Gong Mengchun and others were loyal and courageous, and resolutely refused to obey, but His Royal Highness King Fu was forced to force each other, so they had no choice but to mutiny, and would rather betray King Fu. Nor can you betray the emperor and the Ming Dynasty.
For a time, there were many people in the capital who praised the mutineer Gong Mengchun. It was not until this matter reached the palace that the emperor was furious and ordered the soldiers and horses of the five cities to investigate the matter thoroughly, and it was temporarily calmed down.
The old emperor was already anxious like an ant on a hot pot at this time. His favorite son is now in danger and could become a tool for the mutineers at any moment.
Wanli was actually worried about what Corning was worried about. The rebels put a yellow robe on King Fu and turned him into a puppet emperor, so that they could achieve their goal of being a marquis and worshipping the prime minister.
The courtiers had also received news from the eunuchs, saying that the old emperor did not know how to eat and could not sleep. I am worried about the safety of King Fu all the time.
And at this time, the most angry person is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Zhu Changluo. Every time he thought that his father cared more about that younger brother, there was an inexplicable anger burning in his heart.
However, his father is the emperor above all people, and he can only pray that he will sit in that seat as soon as possible, otherwise he will have a little disobedience. There is a possibility that your life will be lost.
Today's Wanli Emperor will take out Kang Ning's plea at every turn, and silently chant that Kang Ning's legs and feet can be faster, faster.
News of the successful crossing of the Yellow River by the Corning Division. was sent to the emperor for the first time. When Jin Yiwei commanded Luo Sigong to run to the emperor out of breath, he was tired and lay directly on the ground.
The emperor didn't care whether he was acting or not - this possibility was still very high - he rushed over and picked up the recital, and after reading it, the old emperor let out a sigh of relief. Suddenly, I felt my belly ringing like a shock.
The eunuchs on the side had already noticed the change in the emperor and hurriedly passed the imperial meal in.
This express was sent by Kang Ning's troops when they crossed the Yellow River, and when it arrived in the capital, in fact, Kang Ning and others had already come to Luoyang City.
Kang Ning casually glanced at the ancient capital of Luoyang, and there was no other feeling except for the antique.
Others may think that this city is tall and magnificent. But for Corning, who has seen the **** capital and magic capital of the later generations, and even visited Mexico City, the world's most populous city, once, this is nothing.
So he led the captain to drive straight in front of Gong Mengchun, who had already occupied King Fu's mansion.
It turned out that after Gong Mengchun staged a mutiny, local officials took decisive measures to besiege them in King Fu's mansion. and forced them to hand over the blessed king many times.
This is a slight deviation from the original history, but as a time-traveler, Corning naturally knows about the butterfly effect, and he doesn't care if he sees a lot.
Therefore, he simply threw the old emperor's secret decree to the local officials, and claimed that the fugitive Wang Haoxian they were arresting was the real mastermind behind the rebellion.
Although the officials didn't believe it, the official document from the Ministry of War happened to be delivered. It is very clear from the above that everything will be handled by Yizhou Shizi Kangning. It's just because he knows the White Lotus Sect's tricks best.
Although the local officials were very distrustful of the young man who had not grown all his hair, they still acted according to the official documents. It's just that the grain and grass are enough, but the soldiers and horses are not allowed to be transferred.
At this time, Kang Ning, who was angry, scolded in the tent, but he, a scholar, was nothing, and in front of them, he was not even qualified to jump.
However, Kang Ning still skipped this stubble and directly began to attack the Fu Wangfu.
Local officials were taken aback. They hurriedly came out to stop Kang Ning, because they were very worried that Gong Mengchun and others would tear up the ticket and kill King Fu directly. At that time, the charge of losing their relatives will be deducted from their heads.
But Corning didn't care about this, and continued to lead his troops to attack.
The cavalry could not carry cannons, but the guns were carried on their backs. So the newly completed Fuwang Mansion was beaten with holes.
Gong Mengchun was so angry that he shouted in the palace, claiming that he would directly kill King Fu to vent his anger, which frightened the Luoyang officials and hurriedly came to persuade Kang Ning to stop firing.
Kang Ning smiled coldly and scolded inside: "Gong Mengchun, you idiot! Who to scare? If you really controlled His Royal Highness King Fu, I'm afraid you would have turned him into a puppet long ago. Now he has not been given a yellow robe and pushed out to be a puppet emperor. This proves that you have not been able to control him. If I'm not mistaken. His Royal Highness King Fu should have hid in the underground secret room, but you have not been able to find the entrance to the underground secret room. You deserve your bad luck! ”
After Kang Ning finished speaking, Gong Mengchun inside was speechless. At this moment, the Luoyang officials could see that Kang Ning's words obviously hit Gong Mengchun's sore spot. No wonder the Ministry of War, oh no, it was His Majesty the Emperor who asked this young man to deal with this matter. He really understands the other party's routines very well. Your Majesty is really wise and powerful.
So, the local garrison in Luoyang sent fifteen cannons, although they were all shoddy no matter how you look at them, but before they could fire, someone inside opened the door and surrendered.
With a wave of Kangning's sword, Hu Luguang immediately led people to rush in, chopping melons and vegetables all the way, and wiped out the rebels in the palace.
After waiting for the shouts of killing to subside, Kang Ning slowly walked into the palace, but the soldiers searched the entire palace and did not find His Royal Highness King Fu.
Kang Ning had no choice but to wander around Wang Fu, shouting loudly as he walked: "Washing machine, refrigerator ......"
The local official asked puzzledly, what are you talking about?
Kangning replied, "This is the secret message between me and His Royal Highness King Fu. You are not allowed to say it, you will lose your head. ”
The officials did not dare to underestimate Corning now, and they all immediately fell silent.
As soon as they shut up, they heard a bookshelf collapse in the next room. Everyone rushed in and saw a big hole behind the bookshelf. And His Royal Highness King Fu is coming out of it.
Kang Ning let out a sigh of relief, and stepped forward to hug Zhu Changxun, the blessed king.
"I wiped it, I thought you were hanging."
"If you don't come again, I'm really going to hang."
The two hugged each other warmly, making Luoyang officials think that there was a secret between them.
"That's right." Kang Ning suddenly asked, "What about Wang Haoxian?" ”
As soon as King Fu heard this name, he immediately became angry: "That bastard actually came to my palace to make trouble." Luckily, I found it in time, otherwise I would have been caught by them. But that bastard seems to have left the palace halfway. What did you say about going back to Hebei to move the rescue troops. ”
Kang Ning snorted coldly: "I heard that the Hebei White Lotus Sect was wiped out by me, so I quickly ran for my life." However, even if he runs to the ends of the earth, I will cut the grass and eradicate the roots. ”
"That's right! I'm going to write to my father, we're wanted all over the world, damn, I don't believe she can still run. (To be continued.) )
