Chapter 520: What a Brainless ......
Chapter 520: What a Brainless Thing It Is
Anton Wei's matter does seem to be very big.
According to Yin Fengyi's report, the person who accompanied Ni Pet on the expedition to Anton Wei was actually the housekeeper of King Lu's Mansion, whose name was Liu Renchu. According to the Ming Dynasty's regulations on the management of vassal kings, vassal kings and their relatives could not leave their fiefdoms without receiving the emperor's order, and they were not allowed to leave the city, otherwise, they would be punished for treason. Zhu Yujian, the original Tang king, was forced to leave the fiefdom with his troops and tried to go to King Qin, but he was ordered by Emperor Chongzhen to take it down and demoted to a commoner.
However, the stewards of the feudal prince's mansion were not among them. The steward was an outsider and was not subject to the regulations governing the feudal lord. The butler is generally a close confidant of the vassal king, a confidant of the vassal king, and has won the trust of the vassal king, so if there is any major matter in the vassal king's mansion, the butler is often sent to deal with it. Everyone knows that the housekeeper represents the vassal king's mansion. The arrival of the steward of the vassal king's mansion said that the vassal king attached great importance to this matter.
It was precisely because of Anton Wei's matter, involving the housekeeper of King Lu's mansion, that Yin Fengyi wanted to ask Zhang Zhun for instructions. Zhang Zhun wants to rebel, Yin Fengyi will not understand wrong. Zhang Zhun wants to control Anton Wei, which is also not misunderstood. Zhang Zhun will not be polite to the vassal king of the imperial court, which is also not misunderstood. However, at present, whether to make a move on Lu Wangfu, Yin Fengyi is a little uncertain. To be cautious, he decided to report the matter first.
The strength of the Lu Wangfu is much greater than that of the Heng Palace, and the relationship with Emperor Chongzhen is also much closer. In Yanzhou Mansion, King Lu's Mansion is a complete imperial court. The Lu Mansion also controlled most of the Yanzhou Prefecture's fields and economic lifeline. Someone has calculated that in Yanzhou Mansion, at least more than forty percent of the fields belong to the Lu Wangfu. If the business of Yanzhou Mansion earns ten yuan, at least four of them belong to the Lu Wangfu. It is conceivable that the strength of the Lu Wangfu is known.
In Andongwei, King Lu's Mansion also has a large number of fields. The fields of Yanzhou Mansion could no longer satisfy the appetite of King Lu's Mansion, so they expanded to Qingzhou Mansion. According to the most conservative estimates, the Lu Wangfu is in Andongwei, and there are at least 40,000 acres of fields. This is also the reason why Lu Wangfu is so anxious to interfere with Anton Wei. Zhu Shouhong, the king of Lu, was unwilling to look at his own 40,000 acres of land, which was snatched away by a group of poor military households. If they had implemented the policy of dividing the land by referring to the "Juntian Order" of the Tiger Ben Army, the loss of the Lu Wangfu in Andongwei would have been too great.
In Zhang Zhun's eyes, Anton Wei's affairs are not very big, and there is nothing remarkable. The key to the matter is still in King Lu's Mansion. If you put the Lu Wangfu in your eyes, the matter is very big. If you don't take the Lu Wangfu in your eyes, there is nothing remarkable about it. In Zhang Zhun's eyes, there is no Lu Wangfu at all, let alone a butler who is a fox and a fake tiger.
"I'm going to Antonwei for a few days."
Zhang Zhun pondered for a moment and said lightly.
Yin Fengyi's ability, there is no problem in fighting, and the thousands of Ming troops led by Ni Chong are not the opponent of the Minzi Battalion of the Tiger Ben Army at all. The problem is that if Zhang Zhun doesn't handle some political issues personally, the people below will really not handle them well. Especially when it comes to the issue of the Lu Palace. The strength of the Lu Wangfu, Zhang Zhun is still relatively clear, and it is by no means comparable to the Heng Wangfu.
Soon, Zhang Zhun took twenty snipers and re-boarded Li Jicheng's flagship and marched towards Anton Wei. Because there was no danger in this route, even the three escorted Cangshan ships were saved. After sailing from Weihaiwei for a day and a night, Zhang Zhun came to Anton Wei smoothly.
Anton Wei has a dock, Yin Fengyi has already controlled the dock in advance, and is waiting for Zhang Zhun's arrival on the dock. Behind Yin Fengyi were the officers and soldiers of the Minzi Battalion who were waiting for battle. Looking at their expressions, they all seem to be holding their breath! You don't need to ask to know what the housekeeper of King Lu's Mansion brought it.
"Where is the butler of King Lu's Mansion?" Zhang Zhun said straight to the point.
"It's just across the street, and that big fat guy is." Yin Fengyi said in a low voice.
Zhang Zhun looked up casually. Opposite him, about fifty meters away, there was a big fat man, who was watching his arrival impatiently. The clothes on his body are very expensive, and he also wears a lot of gold, silver, jewelry, and jewelry, as if others don't know that he is rich and powerful. Around him, there were about a hundred followers, all of them well-dressed and radiant.
Zhang Zhun frowned quietly, the people in King Lu's Mansion are really majestic, even a small housekeeper has so many entourages. According to some intelligence, at least more than forty percent of the wealth of Yanzhou Mansion is concentrated in the hands of Lu Wangfu. It seems that this figure is highly likely to be true. Now that I am very short of money, do you want to go to Yanzhou Mansion for a walk?
"Are you the butler of King Lu's Mansion?" Zhang Zhun asked quietly.
From Yin Fengyi's intelligence, Zhang Zhun learned that the housekeeper of King Lu's Mansion was called Liu Renchu. When he saw this name on the intelligence, he thought he was a literati, but he didn't expect that he was like a butcher, and all of his body was fat. If you want to talk about the weight of the body, this housekeeper of King Lu's Mansion is probably on par with King Heng of Qingzhou Mansion.
"I am the housekeeper of King Lu's Mansion." The big fat man Liu Renchu replied proudly.
It can be seen that he is full of arrogance and very impatient. The word "me" shows his mentality even more. As the steward of the Lu Palace, no matter where he goes, he represents the majesty of the Lu Mansion and the majesty of the royal family. Therefore, Liu Renchu has become accustomed to such a commanding scene. In his opinion, Zhang Zhun will definitely look at the golden lacquer signboard of King Lu's Mansion and give him enough face.
In order to show that he attaches great importance to family affection, Emperor Chongzhen is generally more doting on vassal kings. The Lu Wangfu lineage, in the eyes of Emperor Chongzhen, is relatively close. If anyone upsets King Lu and complains to Chongzhen, Chongzhen will definitely favor King Lu. King Fu is in Henan, and there are so many things that Chongzhen is biased, not to mention the more intimate King Lu? This is also the reason why King Lu's mansion is powerful.
However, Zhang Zhun did not give Liu Renchu any face at all. He dared to expel even the dignified prince, let alone a little housekeeper? He is the dignified governor of the Houjun Governor's Mansion, and even if he sees the righteous prince, it is just a simple salute. A little palace housekeeper dares to deal with himself, and dares to condescend to despise himself, isn't this looking for death?
"Liu Renchu, my family is here, you come up quickly and salute!"
Mo Yulang shouted.
"You want me to salute you?"
"I don't want you to salute me, it's already settled."
Liu Renchu may be really arrogant in his usual times, and without the slightest hesitation, he directly cross-examined. When he spoke, the fat on his chin shook and shook, as if it would fall off at any moment.
"Despise your boss!"
"It's time to fight!"
Mo Yu said expressionlessly.
"You want to hit me?"
"Who are you?"
"Do you have the prince in your eyes?"
I don't know what kind of medicine I took wrong, Liu Renchu was obviously not afraid of Mo Yu's words, but became even more arrogant, squinting at Zhang Zhun with a look of indifference and even contempt. He is usually arrogant, as long as he brings out King Lu, he can shock everyone.
"Someone!"
"Drag it off!"
"Ten sticks first!"
Zhang Zhun shouted coldly.
The surrounding soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army immediately stepped forward and dragged Liu Renchu down.
Liu Renchu's entourage hurriedly came up to rob people, but they were restrained by the bayonets of the Tiger Ben Army. These retinues, who also carried muskets, did not dare to shoot first. The reason is very simple, on the side of the Tiger Army, there are six or seven hundred people, while on their side, there are only a hundred or dozens of people. If they really want to fight, they will definitely suffer. What they relied on was the majesty of the palace of King Lu. Once the other party didn't care about the Lu Wangfu at all, they would immediately be helpless.
"Bang!"
Some entourages tried to rush up, but Zhang Zhun took a tiger and shot it.
The sound of gunfire resounded in the sky, bringing a strong deterrent effect.
"Who dares to step forward!"
"Kill or kill!"
Zhang Zhun drank cold without thinking.
Those followers, you look at me, I look at you, and in the end, they all stood there obediently and didn't dare to move. Everyone can see that Zhang Zhun is definitely not threatening and intimidating, if they really go up, the Tiger Army will really shoot. The number of the Tiger Ben Army is more than five or six times that of them. It's really irrational to be a hero at this time.
"Smack!"
"Smack!"
"Smack!"
When the two sides confronted each other, over there, the big fat butler had been pressed to the ground and executed the military stick. It happened to be the hooligans and Brother Wei who carried out the punishment. Liu Mang's favorite thing is this. This dead fat man actually dares to be arrogant in front of Zhang Zhun, isn't this looking for death? Damn, the master beat you to death today! I only saw him pick up the arm-thick military stick and hit the buttocks of the big fat man's palace steward one by one.
The heavy military stick fell, and Liu Renchu suddenly screamed like a pig, wailing. The fat on his face was distorted by the pain. The fat of the buttocks was even more beaten. Liu Mang hated the other party in his heart, and he was ruthless, followed by another stick. Liu Renchu couldn't do anything except wail desperately. After the ten sticks, Liu Renchu was already dying, and his ass had been completely opened.
Zhang Zhun said coldly: "Are you still the housekeeper of King Lu's Mansion?" β
Liu Renchu rolled his eyes helplessly, angry, but anxious and angry, feeling as if he was being bullied by Zhang Zhun, and couldn't help but say intermittently: "I...... Be...... Lu Wangfu ...... Target...... Chamberlain...... I'm going to tell the king...... You ......"
Zhang Zhun said coldly: "Or a housekeeper?" Do you want to tell the prince? Come! Ten more sticks! β
"Smack!"
"Smack!"
"Smack!"
Liu Mang immediately raised his arm-thick military stick and hit it down again.
Liu Renchu suddenly screamed like a pig again, and the screams were one after another. As the stick fell, his ass was completely bloody, and every time the stick was lifted, it had to bring up a lot of blood. However, Liu Renchu's pain turned to pain, but he never lost his breath and did not pass out. All this is because he has too much fat on his body.
In fact, Liu Mang wanted to directly beat the other party to death with a military stick, and he could vaguely feel Zhang Zhun's killing intent. Killing this dead fat man, Zhang Zhun will definitely not blame. Therefore, he is absolutely ruthless. It's a pity that Liu Renchu has too much fat. The arm-thick sticks couldn't hit the key points at all, and all of them hit the fat. Unless it's a stick on the head, the watermelon is directly scooped. However, if that is the case, it is too brutal.
After the ten sticks, Liu Renchu lay on the ground and couldn't move. There is only inlet air and no outgas. He is also a pampered figure in the Lu Palace, when has he been beaten like this? It's already very good to be able to save a small life. Now he has finally come to his senses, what Zhang Zhun wants to target is not him at all, but King Lu!
In other words, even if there were a hundred Lu kings here, he would only be killed. Because, Zhang Zhun just wants to use him to warn King Lu: You, King Lu, don't meddle in anything in Qingzhou Mansion, otherwise, I will kill you directly! If I can expel King Heng, I can expel you! Even, cut you directly with a knife! The reason why he is still alive is because of the fat on his body, but he has nothing to do with King Lu.
Zhang Zhun asked coldly, "Are you the housekeeper of King Lu's Mansion?" β
Where did Liu Renchu dare to say that he had something to do with Lu Wangfu? He snorted and cried, and shouted with all his might, "No...... I'm not the housekeeper of King Lu's mansion...... I don't have anything to do with Lu Wangfu...... I'm impersonating...... I'm a pretending ......."
Zhang Zhun said coldly: "Illegal people, dare to pretend to be the housekeeper of King Lu's mansion!" Sins are unforgivable! Remember that you are a first-time offender, spare your life! If I see you next time, I'll beat you with fifty more sticks! β
After saying that, waving their hands, Liu Mang and Brother Wei let go.
Liu Renchu, who picked up a small life, lay on the ground, the flesh and blood on his buttocks were blurred, and he felt like he was about to die. However, his heart was put down. It seems that his life has finally been saved. knew that if he provoked the Tiger Army, there would be such an end, why did he suffer? This Zhang Zhun is really ruthless!
Zhang Zhun was indifferent at all, and he didn't look at the other party. Whether Liu Renchu is dead or alive, it doesn't matter now. The message he wanted to pass on to King Lu's Mansion had already been delivered. As for whether Lu Wangfu can understand it, after understanding, whether it can accept it or not is a matter for Lu Wangfu. Anyway, he is not afraid of things, no matter what Lu Wangfu makes a move, he will follow.
"My lord, Ni Pet is here."
Suddenly, Lu Yidian came to report.
Zhang Zhun frowned quietly and said quietly: "Please come over!" β
Lu Yidian went out. A moment later, a thin officer came to Zhang Zhun. It is Ni Pet, the chief soldier of Shandong. He and Liu Renchu are just two extremes. Liu Renchu is tall and big, and his whole body is full of fat. He, the chief soldier, was black, thin, and short, and he felt like a ground mouse that had come out of nowhere. If he relied on his military exploits, if a person like him could get the rank of chief military officer, it would definitely be a miracle in the world.
Of course, Ni Pet didn't come by himself. He brought all the 3,000 soldiers under his command. The location where the Ming army soldiers were stationed was only less than fifty zhang away from the Tiger Ben army. These soldiers of the Ming army are also fully armed, and it is obvious that those who are good do not come are not good. It was with the support of 3,000 soldiers that Ni Chong did not take Zhang Zhun in his eyes.
Zhang Zhun said coldly: "Chief Ni? Rare, rare. β
Ni Pet said coldly: "You and I are both general soldiers, so don't be polite." β
Zhang Zhun said coldly: "In that case, what is Chief Ni doing here?" β
Ni Pet said bluntly: "Zhang Zhun, you are the chief soldier of Dongjiang Town, Anton Wei's affairs, it's not your turn to meddle, right?" β
Zhang Zhun said casually: "Mo Yu, tell him, how many titles do I have?" β
Mo Yu, who had been following behind him, immediately stepped forward and said loudly: "Chief Ni, my family is the Governor of the Houjun Governor's Mansion, the Chief Military Officer of Dongjiang Town, and is also in charge of the military affairs of Laizhou Mansion and Dengzhou Mansion, and the commander of Dengzhou Naval Division......"
Ni Pet said a little annoyed: "So what? Zhang Zhun, let me tell you, your hands can't control Qingzhou Mansion! In the edict, there is no mention that you are also in charge of the military affairs of Qingzhou Mansion! β
Zhang Zhun still looked ignorant, and said coldly: "Mo Yu, tell him, what does the Houjun Governor's Mansion do?" β
Mo Yu immediately said backwards: "Chief Ni, the duties of the Governor's Mansion of the Houjun Capital, you have listened well!" The Governor's Office of the Five Armies is divided into all the guards in Beijing except for the pro-army command envoys and the guards of all the capitals outside. All military officials, liuguan, and local officials are replaced, preferential, and preferential, and all belong to the government, and the government will then forward it to the military department for selection. After being selected, it will be sent to the capital by the government. The selection and granting of the chief officials are all by the officials. β
"Others, such as the military attachΓ©'s edicts, the training of water and land foot cavalry, the army's clearance and substitution, rations, tun fees and tun equipment, boats and vehicles, military information, border maps and documents, and charcoal and thorn reeds, will be transferred to the relevant agencies for joint handling. Each province only has the right to command troops, and the power to transfer troops lies in the military department. Whenever a war broke out, the emperor ordered the general to be the commander and transfer the soldiers of the guards under the jurisdiction of the Governor's Office of the Five Armies to go out to fight. When the army is returned, it will be returned to the court, and the soldiers will return to the guard station......"
Ni Pet interrupted Mo Yu's speech, and said angrily: "Zhang Zhun, don't talk nonsense with me!" Qingzhou Mansion is not under your jurisdiction, and your presence here is a passover! I have the right to complain to the Ministry of War! The military department will hold you accountable! An Dongwei's rebellion has seriously endangered the interests of the Lu Palace, you should weigh it yourself! β
Zhang Zhun smiled slightly, glanced at Ni Pet with slanted eyes, and said meaningfully: "Ni Pet, you said that I crossed the line with an army, and I will be held responsible." So, let me ask you, did you transfer troops without authorization and get Zhu Dadian's approval? β
Ni Pet was slightly suffocated, his eyes were a little annoyed, and then he said in a strong voice: "I...... This is my business, and I don't care about you. β
Zhang Zhun said coldly: "You crossed the governor of Shandong and transferred troops without authorization, this is a capital crime!" β
Ni Pet said gloomily: "What I accepted was the order of the prefect of Yanzhou Mansion, and I was accompanied by the housekeeper of King Lu's Mansion, what can you do to me?" Zhu Dadian wants to hold me accountable, first ask the prince if he is willing! β
Zhang Zhun's face was a little strange, and he said slowly: "Ni Pet, if I kill you now, Zhu Dadian will add another procedure, and I will not even have a place for you to redress your grievances." Do you think Li Maofang can save you? He is a small prefect of Yanzhou Mansion, and he actually wants to command the Shandong General Army? What is this behavior? Is it to set up Zhu Dadian? Do you think the Lu Mansion can save you? The collusion of the vassal king with foreign officials is a capital crime in itself! The matter was exposed, and he didn't have time to clear it up, and he still saved you? β
Ni Pet laughed, his face was gloomy, and he said fearlessly: "Zhang Zhun, do you want to use Zhu Dadian to suppress me?" Let me tell you, Zhu Dadian is about to step down! He embezzled money, bought a lot of war horses, tried to reorganize the cavalry battalion, do you think we don't know? The note for his impeachment has now reached the Cabinet! β
Zhang Zhun looked at Ni Pet in front of him with pity.
How brain-dead you have to be to say something like that. He actually thought that he relied on Zhu Dadian's protection to get into his current position. If you want to say that he has a human brain, Zhang Zhun really wants to open his brain to see what kind of human brain he is so confused. However, Zhang Zhun was very interested in the news revealed by Ni Pet. Zhu Dadian actually began to form a cavalry camp again...... Is this going to send war horses to the Tiger Army? That's so gracious!
Seeing that Zhang Zhun was silent, Ni Chong thought that Zhang Zhun was suppressed, his expression suddenly became proud, and he said coldly: "Zhang Zhun, I want you to leave Andongwei immediately!" Right now! Right away! Immediately! β
Zhang Zhun said quietly: "So, you are going to meet my sword soldiers?" β
Ni Pet said arrogantly: "That's right......"
Zhang Zhun suddenly pulled out the eagle-eyed gun and shot Ni Pet's head.
"Bang!"
A gunshot rang out throughout the port.
Ni Pet snorted, and his head suddenly opened. Blood splattered, red and white, all flew out. After Zhang Zhun fired, he took two steps back to avoid being hit by the dirt splashing out of the opponent's skull. Ni Pet's corpse then slowly fell backwards. His eyes were still wide open, as if he didn't believe that Zhang Zhun would really kill him.
Zhang Zhun stretched out his hand and pushed Ni Pet's body. Ni Pet's body fell to the ground. His eyes were still wide open, staring at Zhang Zhun deadly. Liu Mang, who was next to him, went up, stepped on his face, and wiped his eyes with the soles of his feet. Zhang Zhun withdrew the eagle eye gun and said to himself: "What can I do to you? What do you say we can do to you? β
"Bang bang bang!"
"Bang bang bang!"
"Bang bang bang!"
A barrage of gunfire rang out.
Since Zhang Zhun has shot, of course the other Tiger Ben troops will not be polite.
For a time, there were constant gunfire on the battlefield. The three thousand soldiers brought by Ni Pet, those in the front row fell one after another. If you want to talk about fighting, where is the opponent of the 700 Tiger Ben Army of these 3,000 Ming Army? Yin Fengyi and the others wanted to do it early in the morning, so they naturally wouldn't be polite at this time.
The armies of the two sides, about 30 zhang apart, are the best distance for the tiger to exert its might. On the contrary, the range of the Ming army's guns was not so far. In the crackling gunfire, the number of casualties of the Ming army continued to rise. Soon, the Ming army was left with hundreds of corpses and retreated hastily to the west.
"My lord, all the officers and soldiers have retreated."
After a while, the gunfire gradually subsided, and Yin Fengyi came up to report.
"Let's go!"
"Let's enter Andong City!"
Zhang Zhun sneered slightly and said without hesitation.
