Chapter 224: King Ning's Rebellion: The King's Destiny Banner

The little eunuch held his head high, stood at the top, slowly opened the scroll of the holy decree, and read: "Fengtian carries the emperor, and the edict says: Jinning thieves have raised troops, and the society is uneasy, but fortunately, there is King Yong." The order is the chief military officer of Jiangxi, and the Anqing Mansion listens to its moderation and gives the king a flag. There is the right to act cheaply, first cut and then play. There is no loss in keeping Anqing. Chin. ”

"The minister takes the order." Zhu Houhuang knelt down to receive the order. I was overjoyed.

Immediately, two people came out from behind, holding a big flag in their hands, but the big flag was rolled, and it was not clear what was written on the flag. Zhu Houhuang stretched out his hand to take it and shook it away abruptly. But the meeting was a yellow flag. It has crouching tiger stripes on it. It looks majestic.

Zhu Houhuang was excited in his heart, this is the royal flag. It is a military talisman of the Ming Dynasty.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the king's flag was very tightly controlled. There are only a dozen of them, but there are more and more in the future. There has been some decline in authority, but some unspoken rules still exist, such as the absence of the royal flag. There is no power to lead the troops, and the most important thing is that with this royal flag. Zhu Houhuang can justifiably order the Anqing Mansion, even if it is the Anqing Prefect, Wu Wending. Nor can he resist Zhu Houhuang's order.

Zhu Houhuang said: "Li Liangqin." ”

"The minister is here." Li Liangqin, who had been silent, suddenly said.

Zhu Houhuang said: "You are the lonely flag officer. The flag is in the people, and the flag is dead. ”

Li Liangqin was very excited, he has been in the army, he has been exposed to it, and he also knows something, this royal flag has a secret mark of the Ministry of War, and it cannot be destroyed, even if it is destroyed, it must be destroyed by the Ministry of War, and there is also a secret mark of the Ministry of Industry, only the Ministry of Industry has the right to make this kind of flag.

If it is not kept properly, or if it is lost, it is a big crime, and Zhu Houhuang asked him to keep it, which is the greatest trust in him. Li Liangqin said loudly: "The minister receives the order, the flag is in the people, and the flag is dead." Immediately, from Zhu Houhuang's hand, he took over the banner and firmly erected it on the ground. It's like it's made of copper and iron.

Zhu Houhuang looked at Anqing City in the distance and said, "Let's go, I'm going to Anqing." ”

Zhu Houhuang took his personal soldiers, and after a while, he came to the city of Anqing, where hundreds of torches surrounded Zhu Houhuang, and Zhu Houhuang and the royal flag behind him were extremely dazzling.

A few soldiers with loud voices shouted loudly under the city: "Wu Wending, the prefect of Anqing, obeys orders, and Zhu, the chief military officer of Jiangxi, has arrived with reinforcements." Hurry up and open the door to greet you. ”

Now Ning Wangjun is in the west of Anqing, thirty miles away. Wu Wending was so nervous that he couldn't sleep at all, and he had already explained that if there was any disturbance at the city gate, he would report it immediately. Therefore, after Wu Wending got the news, he didn't dare to slack off. Hurriedly looking at the city, he looked down and saw that the first thing he came to was none other than the banner of the king's order.

Although it is a little far away, as a person in the system, it is impossible to make a mistake about such a thing. He couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw this, and was about to open the door to greet him, but after thinking about it, he said secretly: "King Ning was good at dancing with long sleeves at the beginning, and he got the style of the king's flag, so he may not be unable to make it." I have to be careful. But the enemy army is thirty miles away, if the reinforcements are placed outside, if something can be missed, who will come to the rescue of Anqing? ”

Wu Wending pondered for a moment and said, "Open the city gate and put them into the urn city." ”

The Urn City is a small city built behind the city gate. It was often used to ambush soldiers and horses, or to continue to hold on after the city gates had been breached.

After Zhu Houhuang and his entourage entered the urn city. Wu Wending asked the soldiers and horses around the urn city to get ready, and he personally went down to greet him.

He took dozens of cronies and walked towards Zhu Houhuang. Halfway through. Suddenly, one of his cronies said to Wu Wending: "My lord, there is one person I know, who came to call the door today and let us rescue the wounded. ”

It's a pity that I found it a little late. When this cronie said it to Wu Wending. The people on Zhu Houhuang's side also heard it. Zhu Houhuang simply revealed his identity and said: "Wu Wending, the prefect of Anqing, will receive the order. ”

The little eunuch stood up with a scroll of holy decrees.

Wu Wending hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to kneel down and accept the order.

Generally speaking, although the holy decree in the TV series is read by the eunuch nine times out of ten, in fact it is not the case, only the decree is read by the eunuch. Other different holy decrees will also be read by different people, such as Hanlin of the Hanlin Academy, and the Han general of the Jinyi Guard. Wait a minute.

Therefore, Wu Wending was a little hesitant. Eventually, he decided to listen to what the decree had to say.

The little eunuch read the holy decree given by Zhengde to Zhu Houhuang. After listening to this, Wu Wending understood what was going on, looked at Zhu Houhuang with a wry smile, and said, "His Royal Highness King Yong, the lower officials have admired the name for a long time. I heard that the envoy of King Ning is with you. But I don't know what agreement King Yong and His Royal Highness King Ning have reached to come here to earn the city. ”

"Bold." The little eunuch said sharply: "His Royal Highness King Yong came by the emperor's order, how could he come to earn the city." ”

Wu Wending said sharply to the little eunuch: "There is no place for you to speak here. ”

The little eunuch Ji Lingling shivered and didn't dare to speak.

Zhu Houhuang said: "How to do things, it's not your turn to point fingers." If you don't obey your orders, don't blame me for being unkind, please put out the king's flag, and you will be cut first. ”

Theoretically, not everyone can kill the royal flag, at least one prefect, not if you want to, you can kill it.

However, Zhu Houhuang is not an ordinary person, he is sure that if he kills Wu Wending, he will be able to pass in front of Zhengde. But he couldn't bear the consequences of killing Wu Wending.

In the history of Gain, it is very clear that the end point of King Ning's Eastern Expedition is Anqing City, and he finally entered Anqing City, and then was taken out of the nest by Wang Shouren, that is, Wang Yangming, and then he was defeated.

That is, if there is no Zhu Houhuang, Wu Wending can also resist King Ning's attack. For those who are capable, always be patient.

"Hmph." Wu Wending snorted coldly and looked at the fire system behind Zhu Houhuang who was already aiming. Look at the colorless soldiers around him, and he knows that he has miscalculated. One of his own lives was pinched in Zhu Houhuang's hands.

"If you want to kill, you will kill, and if you want people to be thieves, you can't." Wu Wending said coldly.

Zhu Houhuang said: "Okay." Wu Zhifu, you don't believe Lone's words, but Lone is by no means King Ning's person, the relationship between Lone and His Majesty is known to the world, with Lone and His Majesty's closeness, Lone defected to King Ning, what are the benefits that His Majesty can't give Lone. Lone is only suspicious at best, but now that Lone is here to kill you, your death is a small matter, and you have thought about who can shoulder the heavy responsibility of keeping Anqing after you die. Lone knows that you are a good official and have the trust of the people of Anqing, Lone just killed you, and it is difficult to subdue the people of Anqing. As a result, Anqing is difficult to keep. King Ning will not last long, and when the officials and soldiers come back in the future, Anqing will have to suffer, and the two military disasters are all because of your thoughts. ”

Wu Wending was in a cold sweat by what he said, but he still insisted a little stubbornly: "If you are here to earn the city, wouldn't I be an accomplice?" ”

Zhu Houhuang simply has no way to take Wu Wending, there are such stubborn people in the world. I also know why King Ning returned in vain under Anqing City, without a stubborn person like him to defend the city, you don't have to think of any ingenious methods, the siege of 1510 is.

Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang's strategy of building cities high, accumulating grain, and slowing down the king's reign made him suffer from a kind of crazy city building, and many big cities were built during the Hongwu period. They are all extremely strong, and this Anqing City is the same.

As long as he can give full play to the function of Anqing City itself, King Ning will fight his 100,000 army, and he may not be able to capture it.

Zhu Houhuang gritted his teeth, took a few steps forward, took out the long sword at his waist, turned the hilt of the sword and stuffed it into Wu Wending's hand, and said, "Lone puts Lone's life in your hands, so you can trust me." ”

Wu Wending was stunned for a while. When Zhu Houhuang pulled out his sword just now, Wu Wending thought that Zhu Houhuang was going to kill him, who knew that this was the case. Wu Wending's heart was moved, he returned the long sword, and said: "Wu Wending, the prefect of Anqing, pays a visit to His Royal Highness King Yong. ”

This is the etiquette for subordinates to meet their superiors. It is to say with practical actions, I believe in you.
