Chapter 579: The Old Man Reunites
The news from Nanchang is not optimistic.
According to the ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty, the vassal king can have three guards, and the three guards are full of about 15,000 people, that is to say, the army that a prince can command is only more than 15,000 people, and what to command them must have the orders of the imperial court, such as the holy decree, the letter of the military department, the transfer of troops and tiger talismans, etc., the generals in the three guards are not completely brainless, and the prince will definitely have nothing to say about them to make a fortune, and the prince will not accompany them if they rebel.
I have to say that this is a relatively stable system, which strangled the vassal king's disobedience to death in the cradle, and wanted to rebel? Yes, the premise is that you have the ability to lead more than 15,000 people to defeat a million imperial court troops.
This system was not implemented thoroughly in the Hongwu period of Taizu, because soon after the founding of the country, many former Yuan remnants and bandits and bandits in the country were to be cleared, and there were powerful Mongolian remnants of the army on the border to be exterminated, and the feudal kings of the fiefs on the border had more than three guards, such as the king of Yan and the king of Ning at that time, the two were stationed on the northern front, and the army under their command had more than 100,000 troops, until later Yongle Jing was difficult to succeed, and the weak-hearted Yongle Emperor gave a death order to this system, and the vassal kings had to hand over their military power to those military generals or nobles with foreign surnames.
This is also very easy to understand, after all, the Yongle Emperor was the rebel, and obviously the majestic Yongle Emperor is not very generous in this regard, he can do it himself, but if others want to imitate him, it will definitely not work, this is a matter of principle, especially for the King of Ning, whose fief was relocated to Nanchang, is definitely the object of strict defense, which is another thing that the Yongle Emperor has done. It's just that the youth is too young, the blood is too boiling, or maybe the mouth is too cheap after drinking too much, in short, the sentence "the country and the country will be ruled together" after the success of King Ning, after Emperor Yongle sat on the dragon chair, they all forgot about it, and the major shareholders became a pony, and King Ning could not be said to be aggrieved, and this kind of grievance could not be publicized to the outside world, and the shame was passed on from generation to generation. It finally reached Zhu Chenhao, the king of Ning of this generation.
In the news that Jin Yiwei came back from Nanchang. Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao's troops are still only three guards, and he has not violated the rules at all, but these three guards are all decorations, in fact, he is secretly recruiting troops. Nanchang, Jiangxi has been a water city since ancient times. The city is prosperous by water. There are many rivers and lakes inside and outside the city. There are Gan River, Fu River, Yudai River. Jinjiang and so on, since ancient times there is an ancient proverb of "seven gates, nine states and eighteen slopes, three lakes and nine Jintong Gansu".
Rivers and lakes are rich in many things, such as fish, shrimp, crabs, and thieves.
King Ning's recruitment of troops and horses is mainly the water thieves and water thieves in the rivers and lakes, this is undoubtedly a very practical practice, this kind of people are easy to buy, as long as there is silver, any lawless things dare to do, so a large number of water thieves and water thieves and mountain bandits quickly united around the rebel group with King Ning as the core, among which there are three people led by bandits, named Ling Shiyi, Min Twenty-four, Wu Thirteen.
As you can tell from these three so-so names, they are very sensitive to numbers, especially those related to silver.
His Royal Highness King Ning undoubtedly has the ambition of Lingyun, but it is a pity that Zhida is sparse, relying on this gang of water thieves and bandits to help him fight the world, to be honest, it is better to close the room and draw circles to curse Zhu Houzhao's short life......
So, the phrase "where there's a will, there's a way" doesn't necessarily apply to everyone.
Jin Yiwei's information is very complete, including the personalities, hobbies and hobbies of Zhang Shishi, Liu Yangzheng, Wang Lun and others, who were under the command of King Ning, and were neatly stacked on Qin Kan's bookcase.
The more Qin Kan looked at it, the more he frowned, and his mood was a little bad.
No matter what kind of farce King Ning's rebellion ended in history, but in fact he did rebel, once the war was launched, it was still the common people who suffered, Qin Kan had a lot to do, and he was quite bored by the rebellion again and again, these rebellions have seriously affected his ideals, all along, it is very difficult to build a civilization on a flat land, and it is a collection of generations or even more than a dozen generations of accumulated creation and construction, once a war breaks out, these decades and hundreds of years of civilization are often destroyed overnight. Then it had to be rebuilt from the ruins again, and the history of mankind is a history of destruction and reconstruction.
Qin Kan hated endless wars.
*******************************************************************
I hate it, but I can't help but face it.
Recently, there have been more and more letters and people coming and going from the Fusi of Jinyi Weibei Town, and information has been delivered through various channels, and orders have also been issued through various channels, and Qin Kan has been so busy that his feet do not touch the ground.
The rebellion of the vassal king was too sensitive, and these news were only circulated among a few people in Jinyiwei, and Qin Kan issued a gag order, and nothing was allowed to be revealed to the outside world until he got the real evidence of the rebellion.
In the early summer of the third year of Zhengde, a middle-aged man with a beard and scumbag appeared outside the Chaoyang Gate of Beijing with his luggage, his eyes were full of tears, and he fixed his eyes on the banner on the city gate and the quaint vicissitudes of the city wall, and at the same time he breathed a long sigh of relief, tears fell from his eyes.
After two years of farewell, and then stepping on his homeland, there is a feeling of being reincarnated, wearing a gray shabby robe, he actually stopped and wandered outside the city gate, and did not dare to enter the city for a long time.
Hometown cowardice, once loyal and hot-blooded, once proud, now returned, only in exchange for empty bags, no strength, today back to the long-lost hometown, he hesitated and did not dare to do.
Not daring to go home, not daring to see relatives and friends, he lingered in front of the city gate and thought for a long time, and finally decided to enter the city to meet a person, a benefactor who gave him rebirth, no one can see him, but this person must be seen.
…………
…………
When the sun set, Qin Kan finished a day's work, stretched his waist and walked out of the North Town Fu Division, and then, at first glance, he saw Wang Shouren who was standing quietly outside the gate of the Zhen Fu Division and waiting.
He was dressed in a shabby and patched gown, dusty and messy hair, carrying a patched bag on his shoulders and a cane in his hand.
Qin Kan didn't recognize him at first sight, seeing him grinning stupidly at him, Qin Kan ignored him, waved his hand and pointed in a direction: "Go to Xishikou if you want food, there are many people there, there are many generous people, Jinyiwei is not only poor but also has a bad temper, you are destined to be unlucky if you ask for food here......"
Wang Shouren: "............"
Qin Kan sighed and got into the sedan chair, still muttering in his mouth: "Do one line of love, one line of dedication, people are already poor to this one, their brains are not bright, and they are poor to death......"
It wasn't until Qin Kan's official sedan chair was about to set off, and countless guards beside the sedan chair separated Wang Shouren, that Wang Shouren couldn't help but say loudly: "Marquis Qin, do you remember Wang Yangming who drank the stolen daughter red together?" ”
This sentence is more impressive than the summer rain lotus on the shore of Daming Lake.
"Get off the sedan car!" Qin Kan hurriedly shouted in the sedan chair.
The sedan chair fell, Qin Kan couldn't wait to open the sedan curtain and walked out, staring at Wang Shouren in a daze for a long time, and finally recognized him.
"Brother Wang!" Qin Kan stepped forward excitedly.
Wang Shouren smiled: "You finally recognize me." ”
"Brother Wang...... Didn't the imperial court pay you for your journey? You came to Beijing all the way from Guizhou to ask for food? ”
Wang Shouren's face darkened when he heard this, and he threw the crutches in his hand: "I'm not asking for food!" ”
Qin Kan sighed: "Brother Wang, why hide it, throwing away the crutches cane can't cover your temperament of asking for food now." ”
Wang Shouren straightened his shabby clothes: "Again, I'm not asking for food." ”
"Let's go, Yan Lailou, I'm in for a treat, today's old people meet, wine and meat are entertained." Qin Kan didn't listen to Wang Shouren's defense at all, pulled his sleeve and rushed forward.
Someone invited a treat, and Wang Shouren's face looked a little better: "From the meeting to the present, you finally said the first human words." ”
"Brother Wang, let's say okay first, when you get to Yanlai Tower, you have to restrain your emotions, don't sing things like lotus falling......"
"I-no-yes-want-food-!"
"Hard-mouthed ......"
Qin Kan was disgusted and pushed Wang Shouren to stumble, as affectionate as the city management drove away the shoes-shiner......
…………
…………
Sure enough, it was "hospitality", the wolf-like guards rushed into Yanlai Building in advance, and the entire building was covered, Qin Kan and Wang Shouren walked to the front of the building, and the old bustard piled up a smile on his face to the greatest extent, and carefully saluted the powerful grandfather of the country, as for why the young and handsome grandfather of the country brought a man named Huazi to the door, the old bustard didn't dare to ask.
Seasonal fruits, eight cold dishes and eight hot dishes, all kinds of delicacies and delicacies are placed on the table, the wine is still the old daughter red, only Qin Kan and Wang Shouren sit on the side of the huge table, a group of very bewitched warblers Yanyan poured wine for the two like butterflies wearing flowers, and in the corner of the private room, the beautiful woman stroked the strings with her bare hands.
Obviously, today's two distinguished guests are a bit vulgar, completely ignoring the bewitching woman next to them, one only cares about drinking, and the other only cares about eating.
The beauties laughed a little reluctantly, and a grudge was cast on the young and handsome grandfather like a flying knife, secretly hating the concubine's life as thin as paper, and Lang's heart was as strong as iron, such an excellent opportunity for the powerful to get out of the sea of suffering, but this grandfather of the country was not chaotic, like an old monk who was settled, without any waves, and the opportunity to be good could only watch it pass.
Wang Shouren's eating is really not good-looking, I don't know how many hungry meals, the most slumped back and poured a glass of wine into his mouth, his eyes widened in vain, pursed his lips and swallowed the wine for a long time, and then he took a long breath.
"Good wine! This is the real wine, how can what Guizhou drink be considered wine, it is simply urine. ”
