Chapter 66: Planting Spies
"What's the matter, Shen Baihu went up the mountain in the middle of the night, did he want to give me a short blade?" Li Jing looked at the blade he dropped, and was immediately happy, what kind of fool is this? actually came to his own territory with a single knife, do you think that your family is Guan Yunchang?
Seeing that Shen Zheng seemed to be stunned, he stood still and greeted him directly, and two secret whistles came out directly, one of them put down his bow and arrows, took out his own saber, and directly pressed Shen Zheng to the ground with one hand.

Seeing this, the other person came up and bent down to pick up the short knife and handed it to Li Jing, "Lord, this person obviously harbors evil intentions, so let's kill it directly, right?" ā
"Ouch! Tap~" Suddenly, the huge force from behind made Shen just not in pain, and the right hand that was turned and twisted was sore, which woke him up, and suddenly heard this murderous word, and suddenly trembled with fright.
Seeing that Li Jing's eyes were not good, he took the short blade and walked towards him, and suddenly became anxious, "King, King, I know it's wrong, spare me this time, spare me!." ā
"Spare you? Hurt me again next time?! Li Jing sneered, and gestured back and forth with a short blade next to his face, of course Li Jing would not kill him, this kind of waste, Wen Cheng is not enough, he doesn't even have the courage to go out and do it, it happens to be under his own control.
But Li Jing won't spare him like this, otherwise everyone will learn from him in the future, wouldn't it be endless?
Shen Zheng was directly pressed to the ground by the two men, struggling for a while, unable to move, and felt the cold light coming from his face, and hurriedly begged for mercy in fright, "King, I really know that I am wrong, I don't dare anymore!" ā
"Ah~~~"
"Don't dare? If I don't teach you some lessons, you won't be able to turn the world in the future? Li Jing pulled out the short blade that was about half an inch stuck in his back, and at the same time pulled his clothes and lifted him up.
"Today's matter, it's not over yet, I don't want to kill you, I just want to try to spread your letter widely, I don't know if the court knows that there is such a hundred households under its rule, I don't know if it will punish your nine clans, or punish your nine clans?!"
These words suddenly frightened Shen Zheng's soul suddenly, and he couldn't even take care of the bleeding pain on his back, he broke out in a cold sweat, thinking about his family's insults to the present day and cursing the early death of the court, once it was made public, I am afraid that it would be difficult for his family to die at that time, and Ling Chi's taste was not good.
"What, don't you believe it?" Li Jing looked at Shen Zheng, who was speechless for a while, and motioned for the two sentries to lift him up, only to find that he actually had no strength in his body, as if he was a mess of mud, and if he let go, he would definitely collapse to the ground.
Seeing that there seemed to be a foul smell coming out, he covered his nose and looked directly at him, "It's really a pus, and I don't know how you got the official position of a hundred households." ā
But this is Li Jing wronged Shen Zheng, the military official position of the Ming Dynasty is hereditary, and Shen Zheng is also handed down from his ancestors, otherwise with his ability, I am afraid that he will not even be able to mix a small flag.
After a long while, Shen Zheng sobered up from his deep fear, regardless of the embarrassment, and directly struggled to twist, that is, the sentry lost his attention, and directly asked him to fall down in front of Li Jing and cry, "The king spares his life!" The little one is willing to give his life to the king, so he begs me to spare a dog's life! ā
"Oh?" Li Jing saw that he was even called a dog at the moment, and felt that he had achieved a few points, so he directly said to the sentry behind him, "You go down to guard first, don't let others come." ā
and directly pulled Shen Zheng, who was thrown on the ground and made a five-body throw, "If this is the case, you can tell what you know about 1510, if it has some effect, I will consider not killing you today!" ā
"I say, I say!" As soon as Shen Zheng heard that his life could live today, where did he dare to hide it, "Today, the magistrate called me, and said that Ningwu invited more than 500 people from the border army, and they would arrive in a few days. ā
"By the way, escort the treasury silver?" Li Jing's eyes lit up, the Ningwu border army came out of the customs to encircle and suppress himself, anyway, his own family occupied the mountain as the king, and the official army would fight sooner or later, but I don't know what the combat power of this army is, now there is such a person who knows the inside story, are you afraid that you can't ask? On the contrary, it was the latter sentence that made him excited.
Shen Zheng saw that Li Jing had no intention of killing himself, and suddenly relieved his spirit, "Yes, in previous years, the taxes in the county were escorted by me after the autumn, but this year, I heard that there were bandits in the south, and the province asked the counties to pay taxes in advance, so I just borrowed this official army to accompany me." ā
Li Jing was undecided, on the one hand, the officials and soldiers who were attacking, and on the other hand, the taxes of a county, it was really embarrassing, and finally thought for a moment, or asked, "How much silver?" ā
Thinking that Shen Zheng was just a hundred households, where did he know so much, he could only shake his head in horror, for fear that Li Jing would kill him if he didn't agree with him, "I really don't know!" But don't be anxious, when I escort you, you will definitely send someone to tell the king! ā
"What about the official and military equipment! With or without armor? How many firearms? Li Jing asked again, since the matter of the silver cannot be sorted out for the time being, then deal with this group of officials and soldiers first.
Tianya Wufeng Mountain, although it is not a natural and precipitous place, but the officers and troops have to attack on their backs, and they are condescending from their homes, and they have armor, bows and arrows.
"I heard that the Kang family came out with blood this time, giving 7,000 taels of silver and 500 stones of rice and grain, and the families in the county made up 1,000 taels of silver and 100 stones of grain. Shen is the Tao of 1510, and just listening to this group of soldiers and horses makes him frightened.
In these years, those who can ride horses are elite soldiers, and they also carry cannons, with this kind of equipment, they are not bandits and strongmen can resist, no matter what stockade you have, if the officers and soldiers can transport the cannons up, they will collapse as soon as they bombard, Shen Zheng really has no confidence in Li Jing's department, otherwise he would not have made this stupid move.
"There are horses, there are cannons, this is not an ordinary Ming army." When Li Jing heard this, he immediately gasped, if he felt that the combat effectiveness of the Ming army was not good at the beginning, it was based on the general military households of the guards, their shortage was already serious, coupled with factors such as land annexation, it was better to say that it was a military household, it was better to say that it was a serf, and if they went into battle in a hurry, what combat effectiveness could they have?
However, from what Shen Zheng heard, this is obviously the main force of the border army, there are 100 cavalry for 500 people, and they also carry artillery, according to the history books they have read, the border army of this kind of equipment is at least 40 percent or more, if you go up at home, I am afraid that a charge will collapse.
Even if you barely hold the cottage, as long as the Ming army sends the artillery team up, a few cannons come down, the cottage can't hold it, close combat, the Ming army is like everyone with armor, how can they be opponents?
Thinking like this, the more I think about it, the more annoying I become, what is wrong with me, other traversers, in ancient times, were either born rich and noble, or commanded the three armies, and everyone loved wherever they went, the ancients did not mention how wisdom was, anyway, they worshiped when they met, and when they arrived at their own home, how could they encircle and suppress wave after wave, suppression, should the peasants at the end of the Ming Dynasty suffer from poverty!
No, since the people who are forced by this world have no way to live, then I will simply pull the flag against this day, thinking like this, and shouted to Shen Zheng in a deep voice, "You don't have to think about it too much, if I have an accident, this letter will definitely spread all over the world, and your only way is to help me get through the current difficulties, otherwise we will die together." ā
"The king, please command, the small ones must do it, and please don't announce it!" This move hit Shen Zheng's lifeblood and directly told him to kneel down and beg for mercy.
Li Jing sneered, anyway, what he wanted was to blackmail you, and directly reveal his original purpose, "You go back, 1510 listen clearly, I will send two brothers to follow you, as soon as there is a situation, come to report immediately, if I have any action, I will also send someone to inform you." ā
said this, and didn't forget to knock him a few words, "If you don't care about your own life, just report me, and see if the court will spare you!" ā
Shen Zheng listened to it as long as he listened to it, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, but his heart was still heavy, and while wiping the cold sweat, he responded carefully, "Don't dare, the little one won't dare!" The king can rest assured, after I go back, I will definitely listen to the news for the king. ā
"Okay, you can go back quickly," Li Jing felt that time was pressing, so he hurriedly urged, and replied at the end, "By the way, you know how to cover this wound, right?" Don't let others see the difference. ā
Seeing that he had finally let himself go, Shen Zheng quickly nodded, "Don't get in the way, don't get in the way!" If the king has nothing else, the little one will retire first. ā
Li Jing waved his hand, stopped him, and called the two secret sentries of Fang Cai, carefully advised, and asked the two of them to follow Shen Zheng left and right, not leaving for a moment, and escorted him all the way down the mountain trail.
Seeing the three of them disappear into the night, Li Jing sighed and turned back......
