Chapter 64 Robbery Permits
In the case of basically equal numbers, Wang Yu could come up with such a way to kill all the Jurchens, which was simply an unprecedented battle. Although the troops of the two sides www.biquge.info invested not much, they could have killed so many in a large-scale battle.
"Wang Yu, you have such talent, I don't know if you are willing to join the army?" Xiong Tingbi looked at Wang Yu for a while, and suddenly said.
The so-called thousands of troops are easy to obtain, but a general is hard to find, and people like Wang Yu are rare among generals in Liaodong. Xiong Tingbi is also a person who loves talents, and there is a lack of such generals under his command now, so he took the initiative to invite Wang Yu to join the army.
Wang Yu knew in his heart that if Xiong Tingbi had been in Liaodong all along, it might not be possible to eliminate the Jurchens, but it was absolutely impossible for the territory of the Ming Dynasty to fall so quickly.
However, Xiong Tingbi's life was not good, and it seemed that it would not take long to be dismissed. It's okay to let yourself join the army, but what if Xiong Tingbi is dismissed, meets the next commander who is blindly commanding, and lets him be sent to death?
If you don't obey the command, you will disobey the military order, and if you obey the command, I am afraid that your life will have to be sent in.
After thinking for a moment, Wang Yu said: "The villain is just a businessman, although he knows a little about the art of war, he only knows a little about the skin. If you join the army, you are afraid of losing your family business, if you don't join the army, but you are afraid of living up to the good intentions of adults, it really makes the villain hesitate. ”
"Although you keep saying that you are a businessman, in the eyes of Ben Shuai, you don't seem to be an ordinary businessman......" Xiong Tingbi said with a smile.
Businessmen dare to fight on the battlefield, and there are so many colors on their bodies, Xiong Tingbi is not a fool, how can he believe it easily.
Wang Yu also saw that it was almost impossible to use the identity of a businessman to hide from Xiong Tingbi. Maybe his identity as a businessman is not believed by his own people, but some people are selfish and don't expose it, but Xiong Tingbi is selfless, so he naturally wants to ask for clarification.
Wang Yu hesitated for a moment, but still thought that it was better not to hide it, so as not to make Xiong Tingbi suspicious of him. So he told the truth, "Lord Xiong, although the villain doesn't read much, he also knows what it means to rise and fall the country." At present, the Jurchens are raging, although they are strong and strong, but after all, they are a small domain, and their military needs are limited. If it weren't for the fact that some businessmen secretly colluded with the Jurchens and sold military supplies for their own selfish interests, how could the Jurchens grow stronger. Therefore, the villain is not talented, and specializes in the business of inquiring about who colludes with the Jurchens. ”
His words were more subtle, but the meaning was also very clear, to put it bluntly, it was to rob those businessmen who colluded with the Jurchens. And his identity, which is about to come out, is simply a bandit.
No, after Xiong Tingbi heard this, he couldn't help but praise, "The rise and fall of a country is the responsibility of the husband!" ”
It turns out that in Wang Yu's opinion, this sentence is just an ordinary sentence, there are often such lines on TV, and even no matter what dynasty, some people say so. For example, in the great director John Woo's "Red Cliff", Zhao Wei also said that the rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of women.
But this sentence was not at all in the Three Kingdoms. This is a famous quote by Gu Yanwu, a great thought in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties.
At present, Xiong Tingbi doesn't say that he has read more than 10,000 books, it's almost the same, and even he has never heard of it.
"Thank you, Shuai for the compliment." Wang Yu hurriedly said.
"Wang Yu, what are you doing, Ben Shuai knows, what you have done is actually what the imperial court should do. ......Speaking of this, Xiong Tingbi couldn't help but sigh, because he knew that this kind of thing was by no means so easy to eliminate, and it was impossible for the imperial court to say that it would intercept a caravan if it encountered it, and it was basically no different from bandits.
Of course, sometimes the army is bandits, but many of these businessmen have some deep backgrounds and collude with the civilian clique in the imperial court. If you catch their hands and necks and say that they are enemies, then it is no problem, but if you don't catch any evidence of their dealings with the Jurchens, you just detain the goods, then you will wait for bad luck.
Then, Xiong Tingbi looked at Wang Yu again and said, "Are you really just doing this kind of business, not anything else?" ”
This is something in the words, which means to ask Wang Yu, are you really just robbing those businessmen who colluded with the Jurchens, and have not robbed other businessmen?
Wang Yu immediately said with certainty: "The villain is willing to use his life to guarantee that he will only do this kind of business!" ”
Xiong Tingbi nodded and said: "This kind of business is actually not bad, if you are sincere and do not forget your original intention, Ben Shuai is very supportive." ”
"Thank you, Dashuai!" Wang Yu immediately said solemnly.
Xiong Tingbi is nicknamed Xiong Manzi, which is not to say that he is rude, but that he does not play cards according to common sense, which is often unexpected. He himself is an informal person, and he does things in an eclectic way, and Wang Yu happens to be the kind of talent who is eclectic.
If there is a group of people responsible for robbing and killing those bandits who collude with merchants, it is actually good. Because it is more convenient than the officers and soldiers coming forward. If something happens, the soldiers and horses in Liaodong don't have to take responsibility, there is a shortage of soldiers here, and you have to take risks when you run here to do business. As long as you weren't robbed by officers and soldiers, and you were robbed by others, you should be handsome! If you let Ben Shuai go all out to suppress the bandits, then who will resist the Tartars, I don't have enough soldiers and horses, you can send me reinforcements.
Xiong Tingbi said this, in fact, he basically acquiesced to Wang Yu's industry.
However, Xiong Tingbi continued: "Your words, Ben Shuai remembered, but if you went against your original intention and deceived Ben Shuai, then don't blame Ben Shuai for the ruthlessness of the knife in his hand!" ”
"Please rest assured, the villain will never let the big man down." Wang Yu said sincerely.
"That's good." Xiong Tingbi nodded.
The two of them didn't speak loudly, and they walked in front, basically there was no one around, and the conversation between the two could only be heard.
At this moment, Wang Yu is also completely behind, because with Xiong Tingbi's words, he can basically sit back and relax. Not only that, but he got a more important thing, that is, a permit to rob in Liaodong.
Of course, Wang Yu also understands that this license is not for him to grab casually, but only those businessmen who collude with the Jurchens, serious businessmen, that cannot be robbed. Otherwise, Xiong Tingbi wouldn't be able to spare him.
Of course, there is no room for sand in Xiong Manzi's eyes, and he can say this, it is Wang Yu's skill there. You know, it has never been possible to kill a thousand Tartars at once, and it has been done by such a few people.
Not to mention that Wang Yu is an unknown bandit, even if he is a famous Jiangyang thief, with this credit, all previous charges have been cleared.
As they walked forward, about twenty miles, they suddenly came in front of them with a few fast horses, not a few people, only a dozen people.
Soon these people came to the front of Xiong Tingbi's queue. The person on the horse immediately jumped down, clenched his fists and bowed down and said, "The last general, Li Huaixin, see the big handsome!" "The last general, Sun Mao, see the marshal!"
"It's all forgiven!" Xiong Tingbi sat on the horse and said with a grin.
"Thank you, Dashuai!" ...... Li Huaixin and Sun Mao said respectfully.
The Ming Dynasty used literature to control the military, and although Xiong Tingbi was a civil official, he had the temper of a military general. And his martial arts are even higher than many generals.
Here in Liaodong, Xiong Tingbi has done a lot of great things since he took office, so the generals in Liaodong are not only convinced by Xiong Tingbi, but also very in awe.
Xiong Tingbi glanced at Li Huaixin, then at Sun Mao, and then pointed at Sun Mao with the horsewhip in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Sun Mao, just now Wang Yu, a merchant from Liaodong, came to Ben Shuai to plead his grievances, saying that you copied his whole family for no reason, but is there such a thing?" ”
"Handsome! Please don't listen to Wang Yu's nonsense, Wang Yu secretly colluded with the Jurchens, the last general has already investigated the truth, and learned that he went to Black Tiger Mountain to trade with the Jurchens, so he led his troops to raid his whole family, just wait for him to come back, and even arrest him! Sun Mao hurriedly bowed down and said.
"How did you know that he colluded with the Jurchens and wanted to go to Black Tiger Mountain to trade with the Jurchens?" Xiong Tingbi asked lightly.
"Yes, yes...... It was the villain who recently paid close attention to whether the merchants of Liaodong had colluded with the Jurchens, and he heard about it a few days ago. Sun Mao said.
"I see, that handsome man will show you something, and then we'll talk about it." Xiong Tingbi waved his hand and said loudly: "Bring all the materials and Jurchen corpses captured by Mao Wenlong and Wang Yu!" ”
"Yes!" The soldiers in the back immediately agreed.
Immediately, truckloads of Jurchen corpses and truckloads of ordnance were all transported.
Seeing so many Jurchen corpses and trophies, Sun Mao and Li Huaixin were a little confused, not knowing where this came from.
Xiong Tingbi said at this time: "Wang Yu did go to Heihugou, but he went with Mao Wenlong, they heard that there were businessmen who wanted to trade with the Jurchens, so they set up an ambush, killed all the Jurchens, and captured more than 700 war horses, countless weapons and baggage, and the corpses of the Jurchens approached. But now, you say that Wang Yu colluded with the Jurchens, what is the reason, could it be that you killed these Jurchens! ”
In the end, Xiong Tingbi's voice became extremely stern.
Hearing this, Li Huaixin gasped, he knew that Mao Wenlong led his troops out to patrol the defense, but he didn't expect Mao Wenlong to do such a vote. What a credit it is to kill so many Jurchens at once, and to capture them like this.
And Sun Mao was dumbfounded, he said that Wang Yu colluded with the Jurchens, and now Wang Yu has killed the Jurchens in front of him and seized so many things, so his words are simply untenable.
colluded with the Jurchens, but killed so many Jurchens, you are joking with Lao Tzu.
"This ......" Sun Mao trembled, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
"Li Huaixin......" Xiong Tingbi looked at Li Huaixin and said: "Sun Mao is your general, he framed Zhongliang, mobilized troops and horses, and raided Wang Yu's home, do you know about this!" ”
"I don't know!" Li Huaixin replied very quickly, and he didn't use his brain at all, so he blurted out directly.
He didn't know about it, and even if he knew, he wouldn't know. Fools can see that Wang Yu has made such a great contribution, this is to ask Xiong Tingbi to avenge himself. Sun Mao, this is going to be unlucky. No matter who Sun Mao is instructed to do, or who is behind him, this time it will not be better.
