Chapter 282: Kill
September 23, the ninth year of Chongzhen, Hunyuan Prefecture
Today's Hunyuan Prefecture has become a quite prosperous city, the continuous influx of displaced people, the rapid increase in population and the continuous development of industry make Hunyuan Prefecture become a very busy construction site, every day there are endless caravans and vehicles shuttling around the city, in order to cope with the rapid increase in vehicles and the skyrocketing population, Yueyang has built more than ten four-lane cement roads in the surrounding towns, with a total distance of nearly 100 kilometers, especially in the official road leading to the Yingzhou capital in Hunyuan Prefecture is endless. Countless caravans and horse-drawn carriages ply and flotsed along this road.
Today, on the official road from Yingzhou Mansion to Hunyuan Prefecture, a team of mighty people and horses drove up, and on one side of the sign that reads "Ci Shangfang Sword", "Qincha Governor Xuanda, Shanxi Military Food", and "Zuo Shilang of the Military Department" were held high, followed by a huge scarlet flag, embroidered with a big "Chen" character, followed by the banner, and a burly personal soldier with a helmet and armor, it looks indeed majestic.
These horses walked on the wide and smooth cement paved official road, and the team of thousands of people crowded this official road that could accommodate six carriages in parallel, and dozens of soldiers who opened the road along the way were galloping on the official road with vigor and vigor, and when they met passing vehicles or caravans, they quickly stepped forward and rudely drove each other to the side of the road, while those caravans and vehicles could only hide aside in anger.
Xu Dingchen and his number one aide, Master Tang, sat in a carriage in the middle of the convoy and watched as the soldiers in front of them drove the vehicles full of goods to the side of the road, and the other party hurled insults and even punches and kicks if they were a little slower. Seeing this, Master Tang couldn't help but snort coldly and said: "Our new governor is so powerful, a huge official road can't accommodate a few carriages, and you have to drive people to the side of the road, I'm afraid the emperor is not so domineering when he travels, right?" ”
Xu Dingchen frowned and sighed lightly, "Chen Xinjia and Gao Qiqian are here to shake their prestige this time, don't you see that Chen Xinjia can't even wait to pull out the newly built supervision camp?" And that high diving dive. actually set up a guard of honor, is this kind of guard of honor that he can put on as a eunuch? These two people can't wait to control Yue Yang and their mortal enemies now! ”
Master Tang pondered for a while before he said: "Dong Weng filtered, then Yue Yang is not a good stubble, according to the student's shallow opinion, if Gao Gonggong and Master Chen persecuted too much, I'm afraid he will go crazy, don't forget, he has 18,000 elites in his hands." ”
"So, this time, Chen Xinjia brought in Hu Dawei, Yang Guozhu, Wang Pu, the general soldiers and the soldiers and horses of the supervision battalion, and brought more than 2,000 soldiers and horses. In order to support himself, with these general soldiers and soldiers and horses to give him a town, presumably Yue Yang will not dare to blow up no matter how bold he is, unless he really dares to pull the flag and rebel, otherwise he can only endure whatever Chen Xinjia and Gao Qiqian say this time. But the question is, Yue Yang, does he dare to pull the flag and rebel? And in front of so many Shanxi Wenchen generals. Speaking of this, Xu Dingchen shook his head, it was obvious that Xu Dingchen didn't think that Yue Yang had the guts.
"This ......"
Master Tang narrowed his eyes, although Xu Dingchen's words were not unreasonable. But he always felt that something was wrong, and he had a hunch that something would happen today......
When this long army of men and horses walked to a distance of about ten miles from Hunyuan City, Xu Dingchen felt a little wrong, because according to the unwritten unspoken rules in the officialdom. The three giants of the highest province have arrived together, and as the main officials of Hunyuan City, they should have already welcomed the new governor, governor and town guard eunuch here, why can't they see a single figure now.
Just when Xu Dingchen was puzzled, Chen Xinjia and Gao Qiqian were also sitting in another carriage. The two glanced at each other with gloomy faces, they were already almost in Hunyuan City, and Yue Yang hadn't even come out to greet them. That's a lot of information.
Chen Xinjia really couldn't figure it out, he could understand that Yue Yang didn't buy his account when he was the inspector of the imperial history, after all, he was not his direct boss at that time, but now that he is the governor of Xuanda, the other party is still so arrogant, what does he want to do?
Gao Qiqian also scolded in a low voice with a blue face: "The vertical man dares to be so unreasonable, just a small general, looking at how our family will clean him up." ”
"Hmph, even if he doesn't come out to greet him, when we enter Hunyuan City, he can't stay at home and not come out, if so, we can join him for the crime of contempt for Shangguan!" Chen Xinjia's face was not much better, he thought that after becoming the governor, he could punish this guy, but he never thought that this guy was still so arrogant, and he didn't even go out of the city ten miles to greet Shangguan when he arrived, which was too arrogant.
The brigade of men and horses marched very fast on the smooth and wide official road built with cement, and soon came to a mile away from the city gate, Gao Qiqian and Chen Xinjia finally heard the news that the sergeant who opened the road in front of them reported that the officials of Hunyuan Prefecture had greeted their group at the city gate.
"Leave them alone, just drive in through the city gates!" Chen Xinjia, who had already lost his anger, decided to teach these people a good lesson, and directly gave an order to the sergeant of the supervising battalion that opened the way.
"Get out of the way...... Get out of the way...... Say what about you, get out of the way! ”
As the subordinate troops of the Governor-General, the sergeants of the Supervisory Battalion enjoy the best salary and treatment, and naturally they have reasons to be proud, especially when these sergeants of the Supervising Battalion are all "elites" selected by Chen Xinjia from the Beijing Battalion in the capital, these people even put the word arrogance on their faces.
Yue Yang rode on a red horse, quietly looking at the oncoming team in front of him, with a look on his face that no one could understand.
At this time, Jiang Xin, the prefect standing next to him, asked him tremblingly, "Lord Yue, is it really appropriate for us to do this?" ”
"How is it not appropriate?" Yue Yang said with a smile: "Emperor Taizu stipulates that officials from all over the country are not allowed to leave the city to greet them without authorization when Shangguan inspects, so as not to waste financial and material resources, has Lord Jiang forgotten?" ”
"The official naturally hasn't forgotten, but ......" Jiang Xin was so anxious that he was about to cry, today's Jiang Xin had already wanted to go ten miles forward to greet Chen Xinjia, Gao Qiqian and Governor Xu Dingchen and his party, but he was stopped by Yue Yang, and he was stunned and didn't let him go out, Jiang Xin naturally didn't agree, but Yue Yang was stunned and forcibly pulled him down.
Jiang Xinxin said: My ancestor, you don't know what year it is, who else abides by this rule now, you have already torn your face with Lord Chen and Gonggong Gao anyway, but I still have to work in the position of prefect, don't pull me if you want to die.
Suddenly, the galloping sound of horses' hooves came in front, dozens of knights in bright armor galloped, unscrupulously riding horses galloping across the official road, a knight's riding skills were estimated to be a little tidal, so that a small cart on the side of the road was grazed, but the rider did not stop at all, still galloping towards the city gate, and the group knocked over a lot of roadside vendors and vehicles on the way.
Seeing this situation, Yue Yang's brows only furrowed, but the faces of the officers next to him already showed a trace of irrepressible anger, these sergeants were also too arrogant, they were so arrogant in broad daylight, they didn't care about his thoughts at all, but all the people and things that hindered their progress were knocked into the air or whipped by them.
Soon, this team of sergeants came to Yue Yang and the others and stopped, and one of the sergeants led by him still rode on his horse and said arrogantly to Yue Yang and Jiang Xin, who were the leaders: "You should be Jiang Xin, the prefect of Hunyuan Prefecture, and Yue Yang, the general of the staff, right?" On the orders of Governor Chen, you and other officials did not need to greet them at the city gate, but could directly follow the governors into the city. ”
Yue Yang and Jiang Xin hadn't said anything yet, but the people behind them began to surge with anger, this Chen Xinjia was too arrogant, letting a second-rank Fengguo general and a first-rank prefect follow behind the team, he regarded the dignified fourth-rank prefect and the second-rank general as something, a house slave?
Yue Yang turned his head and looked at the officer next to him with an angry face, he turned his head to the sergeant of the Supervising Battalion in front of him and said with an expressionless face: "This is no problem, but before that, this officer has to deal with one more thing with you." ”
The sergeant was stunned, pointed to himself and asked, "Follow me...... What's up? ”
"What's the matter?" Speaking of this, Yue Yang smiled coldly: "Shicai waited for the horse to hurt people along the way, and the official can see it clearly, don't you want to explain it to the official?" ”
"Riding a horse hurts someone?" The knight seemed to have heard the funniest thing in the world, and everyone looked at each other, and then laughed, and dozens of people rode on their horses and laughed as if they had heard the funniest joke in the world, and the leader was actually so laughing that he was lying on the back of the horse and couldn't stand upright.
"Hahaha...... Riding horses hurts people, I'm just driving away a few untouchables, you still take it seriously, and say that I'm waiting for horses to hurt people, hahaha......"
Looking at these knights of the Supervising Battalion who were laughing, Yue Yang's face was still so cold, and the generals behind him were already murderous. In their eyes, Yue Yang is their backbone, the target they follow in their hearts, these knights of the Biao Battalion are at most just ordinary sergeants, and the biggest official is a chief who is even a chief, and he dares to talk to him like this, it is simply impatient.
"Hehehe......"
Yue Yang's suddenly sneered, nodded and said, "Okay, it turns out that the person trained by Chen Duchen is like this, rampant and unscrupulous, and regards the laws of the Ming Dynasty as if they were correct, it seems that they need to be rectified...... Chen Dazhi! ”
"Here!"
The captain of the pro-soldier who was following behind Yue Yang immediately stood up.
"Take down all these people, and if there are any resistors, they will be killed!"
"Yes!" (To be continued......)
