Chapter 256: On the Road
At dusk on the third day, Zhu Changming ordered someone to invite Xing Jiamu over, and this time Zhu Changming not only invited Xing Jiamu, but also invited Zhu Youzhen and a person named Zhao Yingjie.
This Zhao Yingjie, Xing Jiamu originally knew, this person is the commander of the Shangzhiwei, the commander-in-chief of the four guards in the capital, is a real power faction, before Zhu Changming did not break through, he summoned this person several times, but in the end they all broke up unhappily, but this time, Zhao Yingjie's attitude has changed significantly.
Xing Jiamu knew in his heart that this should be Zhu Changming's secret manipulation.
After the people arrived, Zhu Changming glanced at the three people: "I have mobilized 300,000 troops, tomorrow Xing Lao will be the marshal, Zhao Yingjie will be the general, and the two of you will go to the northwest together to exterminate the chaotic party." ”
"In addition, the Jianghu heroes recruited this time have a total of 2,300 people, of which 1,000 people will go with you on the expedition, as for how to use these people, the two of you will discuss it."
"These thousand people, although they are strong in martial arts, have not undergone formal training, and I am afraid they will not play a big role on the battlefield!" Zhao Yingjie said.
"Although it is not very useful on the battlefield, but the two armies are facing each other, and the competition is not necessarily on the battlefield, if General Zhao doesn't look down on these people, then how about these people being handed over to the old man to deal with with them?" Xing Jiamu lost no time in saying his thoughts.
Just kidding, these are all people who have rolled on the edge of the knife, and all martial arts are not low, if these thousand people can really obey their own dispatch, then their position as a marshal will be no one who dares to question it, at least no living person dares to question it.
"Since Marshal Xing has worked tirelessly, then all these forces in the rivers and lakes will be handed over to the marshal to deal with." Zhao Yingjie naturally knew Xing Jiamu's thoughts, but at this time, after seeing Zhu Changming's methods, he had already given up the heart to resist, and he was no longer interested in doing things like fighting for power and profit.
"Since the two of you have no opinion, then early tomorrow morning, Xing Lao will leave with the 1,000 people, go to Datong Mansion to raise troops, General Zhao will press the team, and then arrive." Zhu Changming said.
"Go to Datong Mansion to raise troops?" Xing Jiamu said puzzled.
"Nurhachi has always been eyeing the north, and I can't give you all the soldiers in the capital." Zhu Youzhen said with a smile.
"King Xin is right, this time I can only transfer 100,000 people from Jingshi to you, as for the remaining 200,000 people, please ask Elder Xing to go to Datong Mansion to mention it." Zhu Changming said.
"But as far as I know, the soldiers of Datong Mansion have always been in control, in the hands of Zhang Younian, this person is not a good talker, this soldier, I'm afraid it's not easy to mention!" Xing Jiamu said with an embarrassed face.
"Don't worry, I've already said hello to Zhang Younian, you go this time, he Zhang Younian doesn't dare to embarrass you." Zhu Changming said confidently.
After explaining the matter of the expedition, after Zhu Changming sent Zhao Yingjie away, he said to Xing Jiamu: "Old Xing, after you go on the expedition, I plan to let King Xin ascend the throne as soon as possible, I don't know what you think?" ”
Although Zhu Changming's strength has improved now, he still needs to consult Xing Jiamu about some things about the political situation and history, which is also one of Zhu Changming's advantages, although he is confident, he is not arrogant.
Xing Jiamu stroked his beard and said with a smile: "King Xin's accession to the throne is what everyone expects, Professor Zhu wants to ask about it, I'm afraid it's not this!" ”
Zhu Changming laughed and said: "Xing Laoye, who knows me, say, do you have any way to let King Xin ascend the throne without power." ”
Xing Jiamu said: "Public opinion." ”
"It's as simple as that?"
"It's as simple as that."
"Okay, then according to what Xing Lao said, I will do the rest." Zhu Changming never doubted Xing Jiamu's ability, which was also the main reason why he took Xing Jiamu through.
Seeing that the two of them made the matter of the change of the emperor lightly, Zhu Youzhen, as the protagonist, was shocked again, although he had been influenced by the emperor's art since he was a child, but compared with the two in front of him, he seemed to need to improve.
Early the next morning, Xing Jiamu didn't say hello to Zhu Changming, and left directly with the thousand people, he left this time without He Yue, because this time, He Yue didn't need to take action.
Among these thousand people, a person named Gong Biao was selected to be the temporary leader of these people to help him coordinate these heroes and powers.
This Gong Biao is the boss of the Dingshan Gang in the capital, and he has a high prestige among these people, and he has a mountain knife in his hand, and it is difficult to meet an opponent within a radius of a hundred miles in the capital, which is also one of the main reasons why Xing Jiamu chose him.
Xing Jiamu went out this time, not in a sedan chair, but like these high-rollers, he rode a horse.
In the morning, this group of people rushed for nearly two hundred miles, looking at the smoke and dust billowing behind, Xing Jiamu called Gong Biao over.
"We're going to be too big a target, and it's also a waste of time." Xing Jiamu Road.
"What does the marshal mean?" Gong Biao said respectfully.
Before Gong Biao left Beijing, all his family members were invited by Zhu Changming, not only him, but these high-rollers, as long as they had family members, were all invited to the capital without exception, and all Zhu Changming was not worried about their loyalty at all.
"After a while, you will break all the people into pieces, and rush to Datong Mansion in groups of ten, let them rush to Datong Mansion by themselves, and when they arrive, find a place to live by themselves, remember not to stay in guest houses, all of them must live in private houses, scattered around the mansion, and listen to my unified deployment when the time comes." Xing Jiamu commanded.
Half an hour later, after everyone was sent away, looking at Gong Biao in front of him, and the dozen or so people behind him, Xing Jiamu nodded, this Gong Biao is still good at doing things, and he knows that a few people are left to take care of the lives of the two of them.
Looking at the crowd that was gradually moving away, Xing Jiamu said: "Let's go too, find a place where no one will be in a while, change their clothes, and put the guys in the package, it's too ostentatious to go on the road like this." ”
Half an hour later, a group of people appeared in the teahouse next to the official road, and judging from the way they dressed, they were officials who had returned to their hometowns with a few entourages.
This group of people is Xing Jiamu and others who have changed their clothes, the reason why Xing Jiamu wants to be like this is that he doesn't want to be too ostentatious, and secondly, he also wants to see the customs and customs of this road and see if this road is peaceful.
Although he went back and forth on this road more than once during this time, the few times he was traveling in large groups, and he couldn't see anything at all.
Although Xing Jiamu has confidence in Zhu Youzhen, but now this Daming country has rotted to the bones, and it cannot be reversed in the short term, so he must go deep into the people and fully understand the suffering of the people, so that he can prescribe the right medicine.
