The people of the Ming Dynasty Thirteen Cheng announced that the political envoys did not understand what was going on, and the officials and people in Guangxi were even more confused by the second monk, why did the imperial court send a large army to Guangxi?

Guilin Prefecture governs Lingui County, and the yamen of the Guangxi Chengxuan Political Envoy Department is located here.

At this moment, there was already a lot of noise in the yamen, and in the back hall of the yamen, the high-level civil and military officials of the eleven prefectures under the jurisdiction of Guangxi, one by one, wearing official robes, all gathered here, talking loudly with each other, and the expressions on their faces were not very good-looking.

"What's this all about? Although there are occasional bandits in my Nanning Mansion, but it is by no means rampant, why does the political envoy want to tell the Lord Long Live that the land of Guangxi is full of strong and evil bandits? ”

Xie Sichen, the prefect of Nanning Prefecture, was about to have his beard pulled off, and he couldn't understand what was going on.

"Brother Sichen, don't say it's you, even we can't figure it out." Another middle-aged man wearing a prefect's robe and a little fat smiled bitterly: "Our Taiping Mansion is not like this, although our Guangxi is far away from the emperor of the mountain, but it will not even be able to send some news back to Nanjing City, right?" Could it be that you believe like this? ”

"Okay, Brother Xie, Brother Huang!" At this time, a young man with beautiful eyebrows and eyes who looked no more than thirty years old interrupted the conversation between the two, "The political envoy Cui actually called us, presumably to explain this matter to us, the tone of discussion here is fruitless, it is better to wait for the political envoy to come out and explain to us." ”

"That's right, or Brother Wang thinks it thoroughly, let's just wait for Master Cui?" Xie Sichen pulled off his beard, and another handful of black and shiny beards were pulled down by him, "Han Feng, are you going to see if Master Cui is here?" ”

Guarding the door of the back office, a young man in a fast-catching costume nodded, and was about to walk out.

At this moment, a loud voice just came in from the door of the back office: "Your Excellency, have you been waiting for a long time?" ”

This person's name is Cui Yu, and he is the political envoy of Zuo Bu of the Guangxi Chengxuan Political Envoy Division, although he has the same name as the judge in the prefecture, but he is definitely much more amiable than that.

"Xiaguan has seen Master Cui!" Seeing the visitor, everyone in the lobby saluted Cui Yu one after another.

Cui Yu waved his hand and said with a smile: "Ladies and gentlemen, please excuse me, just now this Shi is discussing important matters with Lord Shi, so I came back a little late, and please don't blame the lords!" ”

"Don't dare, don't dare...... Master Choi laughed! A group of civil and military officials from the Guangxi Chengxuan Political Envoy Department hurriedly waved their hands to Cui Yu, and they didn't dare to accept this Cui's apology.

"Yesterday, I posted a post to invite you to come to Guilin Mansion, I think you have heard of it." Cui Yu went straight to the front of the back hall, looked at the adults in the hall, and his expression was very indifferent, "You think well, the excerpt that says that our Guangxi is full of powerful people, evil bandits are in charge, and the people flee from their homes are the ones in this history." ”

"Master Cui, what do you mean by this?" Xie Sichen said that he didn't understand, "Although we are not free of bandits and bandits in Guangxi, we will not reach the situation where bandits are in power, right?" You are so gifted, don't you say that our treasure land in Guangxi has become a chaotic place with poor mountains and bad waters, and bandits are rampant? This, this is not ......"

"Isn't it smearing our Guangxi?" Cui Yu took over the conversation and said with a smile: "All the adults in the hall are all ministers of my Ming Dynasty, and they are all people who are trusted by Long Live Forever, so I will tell you the truth in this history." This matter was instructed by Long Live to be done in this history, even in the court of that day, and so was the court discussion! ”

"But why?" Hearing this, Xie Sichen and the others didn't understand even more, what did Banzai want to do?

"The reason why Banzai did this is to introduce the 100,000 troops of the imperial court into our Guangxi territory." Cui Yu didn't go around in circles with everyone, but said with a smile: "As for why the army was introduced into Guangxi, you can understand it yourself." ”

"Do we understand it ourselves? Adult, you're not kidding, are you? Xie Sichen felt that his whole person was square, when did the political envoy become so naughty, when was this time, why was he still joking?

"Okay, okay, Benshi just feels that the atmosphere in the hall is too tense, and I want you to relax, who knows that you don't even have a little humor, it's really ......" Seeing the look of surprise on everyone's faces, Cui Yu shook his head slightly, and said: "Long live Lord, I'm going to do something to Jiaozhi!" ”

"What?"

"Long live the Lord is really ready to do something to Jiaozhi?"

"Great, great, Jiaozhi, a place of bandits, is finally going to be cured!"

Hearing Cui Yu's words, all the civil and military officials in the hall of Guangxi Chengxuan Political Envoy Department became excited, over the years, none of them in Guangxi officials have been angry, and now this old and difficult problem is finally going to be solved by Long Live Lord, can they not be excited?

"Okay, okay, outsiders don't know about it, only the lords present know. This matter is only known to the rank adults in the hall, if this history hears someone talking about this matter outside, thus destroying the holy will of the Long Live Lord's strategy, no matter who spread the news, once it is found out, it will definitely wipe out the Nine Clans! ”

Cui Yu's face turned cold, and he said to everyone: "After the rank lord goes back, you must be cautious, and if you can't go to Jiaozhi, you won't go, otherwise when the time comes, it will be planted in the hands of Lord Wei Guogong, and even this history will not be able to save you!" ”

"Yes, the lower officials will obey the orders of the adults!" A group of ministers bowed in unison.

……

No matter what the group of civil and military officials of the Guangxi Chengxuan Political Envoy Department thought, on the official road that was about to arrive at Jiaozhi hundreds of miles away, a caravan of about 300 people was escorting truckloads of goods, all of which were packed in boxes, and it was impossible to tell what they were from the outside.

The whole caravan, about fifty servants, a dozen grooms, and the rest were guards in soft armor.

There were fifteen carriages in the caravan, and the carriage in the middle was very gorgeous, and on the carriage, Zhu Song, who was dressed like a young and wealthy merchant, and three young men who were also dressed in silk were eating snacks and chatting.

These three young men are not others, but Zhu Youyi, Zhu Mengcan and Zhu Yuexian.

"Uncle Songhuang, let's just go to Jiaozhi with such a swagger, I'm afraid that we will be robbed, right?" Zhu Mengcan pulled the clothes on his body a little awkwardly and said, "Don't let us capsize in the gutter at that time." ”

"You kid just can't spit ivory out of your mouth." Zhu Song glared at Zhu Mengcan angrily and said, "The reason why we are doing this, isn't the purpose of it to attract a big force?" We are here to occupy the mountain this time, and we must be a hit, otherwise who will obey us? ”

"Meng Can, don't you always say that you've been reading military books lately? Why can't you even understand this? Zhu Youyi said a little strangely: "Yesterday, didn't you kid still praise Uncle Song's plan?" ”

"Yes, that's what I said, but I didn't expect Uncle Songhuang to divide the team of 1,000 people into three, or march to Jiaozhi from different directions." Zhu Mengcan touched his head innocently, and said, "Besides, they are disguised as caravans and fugitives respectively, only Brother Shan and they are in Jiaozhi as officers and soldiers." ”

"The cunning rabbit is still three holes." Zhu Song shook his head and said, "These will be effective in the future." ”

"Master, if you go over that mountain further and you're into Cochin, shall we stop and rest for a while?" At this time, Han Wangfu, who was driving, guarded Han Dong and reported to Zhu Song.

"A mountain?" Zhu Song frowned, "If I'm not mistaken, that mountain is called Blue Wolf Mountain, and it is one of the forces within a radius of ten miles from Jiaozhi County, and its notoriety is ranked as the seventh?" ”

When he came to Jiaozhi, Zhu Song had already investigated some of the larger forces in Jiaozhi, among which this Blue Wolf Mountain was impressively listed.

"It's that Blue Wolf Mountain!"

Han Dong replied: "The leader of the village on the Blue Wolf Mountain is named Tie Le, nicknamed the Wild Wolf. There are probably more than 700 bandits in the entire stockade, all of whom are bandits with blood debts. And because this is an official road, the government has organized several encirclement and suppression, but in the end it was in vain. ”

When he said this, Han Dong paused and continued: "The caravans and people who passed by, unless they are fully prepared, will never dare to go this way. Master, do you think we should stop and let the brothers be on guard? ”

"Well, there's no need to rest, let the brothers prepare the firearms, if the bandits on the Blue Wolf Mountain really dare to come and loot, don't be merciful, come as many as you want, kill me as many as you want!" Zhu Song gave the order unceremoniously.

"Uncle Songhuang, there are so many of us, they don't dare to rob us, right?" Zhu Mengcan didn't think those guys would dare to rob them, "I see, your plan won't succeed this time." ”

"Who can say for sure?" Zhu Yuexian picked up an osmanthus cake from the small table in front of him and said, "Maybe as soon as we entered Guangxi, someone has been staring at our tips!" ”

In this way, the caravan had gone forward for half a pillar of incense, and the convoy suddenly stopped.

Zhu Song lifted the curtain and said to Han Dong, "What's the matter?" Why is it stagnant? ”

Han Dong said to Zhu Song: "Master, the brother in front of me came to report, the terrain in front of us is very dangerous, if the bandits of Blue Wolf Mountain want to do something to us, they will inevitably be in this kind of extremely dangerous terrain." ”

"Huh? I'll check it out! Zhu Song frowned slightly, stood on the wheel, and watched with a monocular.

I saw that the boundary of two or three miles ahead was really steep, and the official road actually passed through the low mountains, and the low mountains on both sides were steep and densely vegetated, which was a good place to kill people and sell goods.

"Really!" Zhu Song put down the binoculars and said, "Let the brothers load the guns, let's continue to move forward!" ”

Zhu Song doesn't care if the terrain is dangerous or not.

You know, in the box of the carriage in front, there are still portable artillery, from assembly to loading to ignition, it is just the time for tea, I am afraid of a wool!

In this way, when the caravan passed through the small mountain pass, from the bushes on both sides of the valley, suddenly three or four hundred bandits wearing soft armor and armed with knives, guns and clubs rushed up, shouting and rushing up, not only blocking the front of the convoy, but also rushing to the carriages around them.

Immediately afterwards, a young man who seemed to be the leader, wearing silver armor, with a handsome face and a sledgehammer on his shoulder, surrounded by dozens of mountain bandits, rode away and blocked the front of the caravan: "Leave the carriage and the horses you sit on, Lao Tzu will spare you from death, otherwise, kill or bury!" ”

"Look, here, here,, they're finally here." In the carriage, Zhu Youjiao and a few of their little guys were trembling with excitement, looking forward to it, but they could be regarded as looking forward to these guys.

"What's the matter? Scared after waiting for so long? Zhu Song glanced at the three little ones and laughed.

"Afraid? Will I be afraid of Zhu Mengcan? Zhu Mengcan snorted coldly, quickly took out a firearm from the side of the carriage, and said, "Uncle Songhuang, do you want your nephew to use a firecracker?" ”

Zhu Song rolled his eyes and said, "You kid took it out and asked me, isn't this an extra move?" ”

Zhu Mengcan laughed: "Hehe, Uncle Songhuang, since returning from the 'Japanese slave control area', my nephew has been practicing shooting, this time I will let you see my nephew's shooting ability." ”

"Okay, you go, remember to capture the thief and capture the king first, and kill the boss of the mountain bandits, the mountain bandits will be chaotic!" Zhu Song gave an order and directly carried Zhu Mengcan to the carriage, but he did not pull the curtain.

Zhu Song pointed to the outside of the carriage and said, "Stretch out the mouth of the gun, let Uncle see if you can ...... a blow."

Bang!

Well, before Zhu Song finished speaking, Zhu Mengcan glanced at this, and with a snap of the index finger of his right hand, a brass bullet was snatched out of the barrel, and with a 'poof' sound, the eyebrows of the leader of the Junyi Mountain bandits in Zhongshan were in the middle.

The guy didn't even have time to let out a scream before he fell off his horse.

"Less, less master!"

The mountain bandits who surrounded the leader of the Junyi Mountain bandits saw their boss fall off the horse, and they were immediately anxious, and they stepped forward to help him up.

But when they looked down, they found that there was a bloody hole in the center of the guy's eyebrows, and the arrogant expression on his face had not dissipated, but he had already raised his interest rate completely, and he couldn't die anymore!

"Oh no, the young master is dead, they killed the young master!" The bandits were all in chaos.

"Firebolt, it should have been shot out of the carriage!" Some guards recognized the attack of this firebolt, and couldn't help shouting, "Let go and kill, the master has already died, and no one will be left!" ”

Bang bang bang!

Some guards shouted, and in an instant, all the guards with firearms in their hands moved, directly raised the firearms, and aimed the guns at the mountain bandits on the opposite side, shooting at will.

The horses were neighing, the people were roaring, the flames were bursting, the blood was flying, and in an instant, there were two hundred corpses, and those mountain bandits who were lucky enough not to be shot were so frightened that they were shaking like chaff, and they actually peed their pants one by one.
