Chapter 0332 [Autumn Hunt Assassination]
Zhengde frowned and said, "Okay, you can try, but you have to pay for it yourself, and I don't have the strength to support you." ”
Duan Fei said with a smile: "This is natural, but if Ruochen researches a new musket, Jinyi Wei will have to equip it first." ”
Zhengde waved his hand and said, "Yes, if you can really make something good, I will merge the Ordnance Bureau into the Jinyi Guard for you." ”
"Emperor Xie, the emperor said that the minister will definitely show the results to the emperor as soon as possible!" Duan Fei let out a bold statement.
Zhengde smiled, holding the arquebus and couldn't put it down, Duan Fei smiled and said: "Your Majesty, the minister was ordered to verify the unjust case of the edict and prison, and also found out a detailed crime, which was about Duoyan Sanwei. ”
"Oh?" Zhengde put down the gun, and Zhengse said, "What's the matter?" ”
Duan Fei told the two spies who had discovered Saihan, and took out the confession and the information he had obtained from his arms and handed them to Zhengde for a look.
After Zhengde read the confession and intelligence, Huo Ran said angrily: "Damn Buri Gude, I only received the tribute he sent a few days ago, as well as the prayer for the opening of trade, and I also rewarded the envoy, but I didn't expect him to be a wolf with ambition, and he was fighting the idea of Liaodong Zhuwei!" ”
Duan Fei comforted: "Your Majesty, please calm your anger, Duoyan Sanwei is capricious, how should this case be handled?" It is better for the emperor to make a decision as soon as possible. ”
Zhengde said hatefully: "Kill, kill and then talk." ”
Duan Fei suggested: "Your Majesty, instead of killing them directly, it is better to send those two spies back to Fuyuwei along with their confessions, which can not only let them know that the treacherous plan is exposed, but also hit their morale." ”
Zhengde thought about it for a moment and said, "Will this be an excuse for them to attack the guards?" ”
Duan Fei said: "Your Majesty, this is possible, but as long as we deal with it properly, we don't have to worry about the attack of Duoyan Sanwei." ”
Zhengde said: "Deal with it properly, and deal with it appropriately, why don't you talk about how to deal with it?" ”
Duan Fei said with a smile: "Since the emperor wants the minister to say, the minister said it boldly, the minister thinks that the emperor can first make a decree to order the Liaodong guards to strengthen their defense, and then they can issue an order to order the Liaodong Tashan Qianwei and other Jurchen troops to put pressure on Duoyan Sanwei, and then you can release rumors, saying that the emperor was originally ready to open the mutual market and trade, but suddenly caught the spy and learned that Duoyan Sanwei was about to sneak attack the Liaodong Zhuwei's treacherous plot, so he was furious, declaring that as long as Duoyan Sanwei dared to do it, the Ming Dynasty would strictly lock the pass, and would not consider opening a ban on trade within ten years. As long as our propaganda can go deep into the three guards, even if Fuyu Wei is powerful, the other two guards will consider whether to put it aside and move closer to Daming first. ”
Zhengde said: "It's easier said than done, more things are better than less, these two people should be killed quietly, just treat it as if it didn't happen." ”
Duan Fei was silent, Zhengde glanced at him and said, "What? Don't you think so? ”
Duan Fei replied: "Your Majesty, Duoyan Sanwei's behavior is provoking my Ming Dynasty, if we ignore it, they will be even more arrogant, Your Majesty, the war is like chess, it is strength and morale, if we ignore it, the morale of the guards in Liaodong will be even lower, and the enemy will get enough property after plundering, and the strength will become stronger, which is to raise tigers." ”
Zhengde said helplessly: "I also know, but what can I do?" If it weren't for the dirty silver you paid, I wouldn't even be able to pay my food, and how would I be able to afford a big war? ”
Duan Fei said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the ministers are willing to give it a try, and the corpses will not be sent back, and several other ministers implore the emperor for support!" The minister does not need the emperor to move a soldier to make Duoyan Sanwei suspicious, and he will not dare to spy on the land of the Ming Dynasty for a few years! ”
Zhengde said helplessly: "Okay, I can give you an order, but if you fail to stop the three guards of Duoyan from sending Liaodong, and people know what you did, I won't be able to protect you." ”
Duan Fei said: "The emperor can rest assured, the minister has full confidence, if the minister messes this matter, the minister will never dare to come back alive to see the emperor!" ”
Zhengde sighed lightly and said, "Why are you suffering, alas...... Zhang Aiqing, did you hear Duan Aiqing's words? I ordered you to secretly give Duan Aiqing enough support, and if he fails, you are also responsible. ”
Zhang Rui was eavesdropping with his ears pricked up on the side, hearing that Duan Fei had taken on such a big responsibility, he was overjoyed, and was secretly thinking about how to make Duan Fei's success lose his favor from now on, Zhengde suddenly tied him to Duan Fei's chariot with a word, Zhang Rui was stunned, and said: "Your Majesty, Lord Duan is confident, but the old slave has no bottom in his heart, Your Majesty, this matter is better than being handed over to Guo Zhen of Dongchang." ”
Zhengde said: "Aren't you in charge of the factory guards? Who will I give it to if I don't give it to you? Needless to say, it's decided, Duan Aiqing, you are so self-conscious. ”
"Obey the order!" Duan Fei replied, Haikou has boasted, what should I do about this? Seeing that it is October, Duoyan Sanwei is about to send troops, and there is not much time left for him.
It won't take long for this royal hunting team to come to the Nanyuan hunting ground, here is the royal hunting ground of the Ming Dynasty, a large area surrounded by a wall is stocked with many elk, roe deer, rabbits and other herbivores, by many too many more than 1,000 untouchables here to take care of and maintain, Zhengde entered the hunting ground in the small palace to rest, can enter the palace to rest on a few royal relatives, the rest of the people set up their tents, autumn hunting for two days, today to spend the night here, tomorrow evening to return to Beijing.
In the middle of the day, Zhengde walked out of the palace, Zhengde wearing the royal clothes was in good spirits, very handsome, the dragon and the tiger walked quickly, and as soon as he turned over, he rode his sweaty horse from the Western Regions.
Zhengde rode his horse towards the depths of the hunting ground, and the others followed, at first in a neat line, but soon after they dispersed, except for the Praetorian and Jinyi guards, who were still in a neat line, the rest of the family guards were all in disarray, and were left far behind.
Duan Fei followed closely by Zhengde's side, and the big bow next to the saddle had been carried in his hand, this bow looked like a five-stone strong bow, but in fact, it was a two-stone bow that Duan Fei asked Bao Daxiang to help him specially make, and it was exactly the same as the five-stone strong bow.
The two-stone bow is not bad, many of the soldiers of the Daming Guard can't even pull a stone bow, and the bows used by those royal relatives are even more ridiculous, there is no half stone, it is purely a decoration.
Zhengde suddenly opened his bow and shot an arrow, and an elk's head poked out of the grass, and an arrow in Zhengde's gallop hit the elk's neck, but it didn't seem to hit the vital point, and the elk turned around and ran away after being frightened.
Zhengde cheered and chased down, Duan Fei also cheered with the people around him, and continued to follow closely by Zhengde's side, the arrow had been wound.
The elk didn't run long before falling to the ground, Zhengde galloped up, suddenly came to hide in a kick, bent down and grabbed the elk's hind legs, dragged the whole elk up, and then sat back on the saddle with his upright, Zhengde held the elk high with both hands, and screamed in his mouth.
"Oh ......" as Zhengde's horse Huanhuan stopped, the team that followed him also reined in the horse, seeing the elk in Zhengde's hand, everyone was excited, so soon the emperor hunted such a big elk, what a good omen!
"Congratulations to the emperor!" "The Emperor's Divine Arrow!" A group of people stepped forward to congratulate, Duan Fei was beside Zhengde, and expressed his congratulations and envy to Zhengde for the first time.
Zhengde was also very happy, he threw the prey in his hand back, and the guards behind scrambled for it, Zhengde shouted loudly: "I have hunted the first beast, how long will you Aiqing wait?" Let's go our own way, and whoever gets the most will be given a thousand taels of silver!" ”
The reward was not much, but it would be great if it could be favored by the emperor, so everyone cheered and dispersed to hunt.
Zhengde turned around and saw that Duan Fei was still following behind him, and said with a smile: "Aiqing, aren't you going?" ”
Duan Fei said with a smile: "The minister's martial arts are not good at archery, but he still follows the emperor honestly and sees the emperor in power." ”
Zhengde smiled and said: "Well, it's good to have self-knowledge, you are good at handling cases, you can compose lyrics, poems and songs, there are few people in the Manchu Dynasty who can compare with you, if you are both civil and military, wouldn't you be jealous of others?" So you don't have to worry about it, you can share half of what I hunted. ”
Duan Fei said gratefully: "The emperor is really good to the minister, although the minister's martial arts and archery skills are not very good, but the minister's marksmanship is good, a few days after the minister came to the capital, he used a musket to kill a master of the Hundred Poison Gate lurking in the East Factory in Longfu Temple, I don't believe that the minister will show the emperor the power of this Western arquebus." ”
"Okay, I'll see." Zhengde said.
Duan Fei took out the arquebus and said, "Your Majesty, please see, as long as the arquebus is lit, this gun can be ready to fire at any time, and in case of emergency, one shot can save lives." ”
Zhengde took out the arquebus that Duan Fei gave him from his arms, and said with a smile: "Although it is much more convenient, it is still very troublesome to carry a large bundle of arquebuses all day long when fighting. ”
Duan Fei said with a smile: "Chen also thinks that this is a problem, as long as it is improved slightly, it is still very promising." ”
Zhengde smiled: "Then you light it, lest a rabbit suddenly come out and you rush to light the fire rope, and when you can light it, the rabbit will run away." ”
A chuckle suddenly sounded behind the two, Zhengde looked back and said with a smile: "Houxi, Yongfu, why are you still following me?" Go hunting. ”
Duan Fei also turned around, only to see that there were two people behind him, one of them was naturally Princess Yongfu, she was wearing a set of silver-white power suit today, her hair was tied up with red silk, and then wrapped up, like a big red flower blooming on top of the silver wrap.
The young man beside Princess Yongfu was dignified, somewhat similar to Zhengde, about eighteen or nineteen years old, but he gave people a sense of maturity and stability.
Seeing Zhengde asking, the young man replied respectfully: "Brother Huang, our brother and sister can't lift the sword or open the bow, just to join in the fun, Yongfu said early in the morning that the emperor's brother is excellent in martial arts, and today I want to see it with my own eyes." ”
Zhengde glanced at the small bow next to Princess Yongfu's saddle, and said with a smile: "Uncle never took you out hunting?" Well, if you follow me, it will be considered an autumn outing. ”
This hunting ground is quite wide, and after the thousands of troops and horses dispersed, they all disappeared quickly, Zhengde's five thousand guards and Duan Fei's one hundred brocade clothes followed Zhengde all the way forward, suddenly, Zhengde Lema stopped, and said to Duan Fei: "Aiqing, it's your turn!" ”
Duan Fei followed Zhengde's gaze and saw that a fat hare was gnawing on the grass in the grass, it was looking at this side vigilantly, and it might escape at any time.
Duan Fei is 100% sure of using a bow and arrow at this distance, but it is difficult to say with a musket, the accuracy of the musket in these years is very low, it may be no problem to fight elk, and it is easy to hit a rabbit, but since the emperor has spoken, Duan Fei has to be stubborn.
He raised the arquebus, which had already been lit, aim, fired!
'Bang' a gunshot, the rabbit fell to the ground, Duan Fei didn't have time to be happy, but the horse under his crotch stood up in shock, screamed for a while, the horse's hooves fell, and then rushed out like an arrow.
Duan Fei quickly calmed down after being startled, he clamped his legs and lifted his body slightly, letting the horse run wild, and after a while, the horse's speed slowed down, Duan Fei gently reined in the horse, while stroking the horse's neck, the horse gradually stopped.
Duan Fei looked back, Zhengde and they were riding their horses to hurry, and there was such a big mess, Duan Fei was annoyed in his heart, kicked the horse's belly with his heels, and said, "Stupid horse, stupid horse, you can hurt me now." ”
The horse suddenly shrugged his ears, and neighed again, Duan Fei heard the sound of the bowstring trembling almost at the same time, and then as far as his eyes could see, he saw a black shadow shooting straight at lightning speed, silently burrowing into the horse's belly, Duan Fei's crotch and the horse screamed, falling to the side, Duan Fei reacted quickly and kicked the stirrup, his left hand pressed on the stirrup, his figure did not fall but rose, dodging the second arrow that flew in.
When the hidden killer shot another arrow, Duan Fei had already drawn his knife in his hand, and Duan Fei, who was suddenly attacked after the embarrassment, roared angrily, and the internal force rolled wildly into his hand, and the dragon's tooth blade cut a cold light, splitting the arrow in two.
Duan Fei and the broken arrow landed almost at the same time, and when the arrow was blue and jumping on the ground, Duan Fei's left foot jerked to the ground, and his body rushed towards the direction of the dark arrow like an arrow from the string.
"The operation failed, and after killing him, retreat immediately!" Someone let out a low shout, and then more than a dozen black-clothed people suddenly appeared in the grass, holding a snow-bright steel knife in their hands, and rushed towards Duan Fei.
Duan Fei was taken aback, he didn't expect that there were so many assassins lurking here, the distance between the two sides was very close, Duan Fei didn't have time to change directions, he was surrounded by the men in black.
Duan Fei's heart was horizontal, and he used the force under his feet to rush towards the man in black who was coming at a faster speed.
Seeing Duan Fei's continuous acceleration, the man's expression changed slightly, and he roared and rushed forward quickly, wielding a steel knife to fight with Duan Fei fiercely.
There was a local sound, and the steel knife in the man's hand was actually split into two pieces by the dragon tooth blade, Duan Fei knew that life and death were in a thought, how could it be possible to keep his hand, the next moment when the dragon tooth blade cut off the steel knife in the man's hand, it split the man in black all the way from his neck to his waist ribs, it was as simple as cutting tofu.
The corpse was knocked away by Duan Fei's body, and Duan Fei's whole body was full of internal strength, and there was not a drop of blood on his body.
Seeing this situation, those black-clothed people were all stunned, but Duan Fei didn't stop, and broke straight into the bushes, the threat of that archer was relatively great, and this way could temporarily avoid the group of black-clothed people behind, and hand them over to the guards behind, Duan Fei rushed into the grove and heard the sound of stampeding in front of him and was moving away quickly, he chased after it without hesitation, only to see two black-clothed people fleeing in front, one of them was holding a folding crossbow in his hand, it was he who shot Duan Fei three arrows in a row just now.
The threat of archers was much larger than those black-clothed people with knives, and Duan Fei roared angrily: "Where to go, dare to sneak attack your grandfather, leave me with my life!" ”
Another man in black drew his sword, pushed the man in black with a crossbow, and shouted, "Hurry up!" I'll stop him! ”
"Don't! Daddy, let's kill him together! The person with the crossbow did not take the opportunity to flee, but turned back to hang the arrows, and three arrows flew towards Duan Fei again, this time at the same time, and the power was much greater.
The voice of the crossbow bearer was very immature, it seemed that he was no more than sixteen or seventeen years old, Duan Fei faced their fire-breathing gaze, his heart was stunned, and his anger decreased slightly, but this did not affect his pursuit footsteps, in the face of the flying crossbow arrows, Duan Fei blocked the horizontal knife, and after three dings, the crossbow arrows had been knocked away, and the black-clothed man with the knife had blocked in front of Duan Fei.
"Who are you?" Duan Fei slashed head-on, it seemed that there was no order, but in fact, there was a lot of mystery, and the person facing Duan Fei only felt that he was like a mouse being targeted by a snake, and his actions and reflexes seemed to be a little sluggish.
This is a move in the Demon Cult's 'Fatal Knife', called 'Crazy Lion Fighting Rabbit', the Killing Knife is not heavy, just like the name of this move, fighting with the mentality of the lion fighting the rabbit, that kind of coercion is enough to make the opponent restrain his hands and feet, and annihilate him in one fell swoop.
That person's strength is not weak, he screamed in his mouth, he struggled to dance the knife and rushed towards Duan Fei, that desperate posture made Duan Fei's heart messy, the wild lion fighting rabbit was broken, the two knives collided together, that person flew back with strength, Duan Fei's combat experience was insufficient after all, he was deceived by him, and after scolding Duan Fei chased after him, the two of them kept dodging through the woods, and escaped, Duan Fei chased for a while and finally gave up, stopped and shouted angrily: "If there is a kind, leave a name, and the official knife will not kill the nameless!" ”
How could the two of them pay attention to him, and they fled without a trace in a blink of an eye, poor Kou Mo chased, Duan Fei remembered this word, he turned around and left, and when he returned to the edge of the woods, he only heard someone shouting: "Who, stop!" ”
Duan Fei shouted: "It's me, Duan Fei!" ”
"Lord Duan is back!" Two brocade guards flashed out from behind the tree, and they excitedly shouted, "Your Excellency, you're not hurt, are you?" ”
Duan Fei shook his head and said, "I'm not injured, where is the emperor?" Is the emperor okay? ”
The two brocade guards said: "It's okay, it's just that the emperor is very angry when he sees the assassination of the adult, and he has sent the guards to search around, and he must find the adult, I didn't expect the adult to come back so soon, this is really good, my lord, you go to see the emperor quickly." ”
Duan Fei walked out of the woods quickly, only to see the corpses of the black-clothed men scattered everywhere outside the woods, and two other prisoners, Zhengde was standing in front of the two captives, shouting angrily.
