Chapter 195: How Much Is Governor Lu's Inheritance?
Lu Wenyang's rebellion only lasted for a few days, and even before the news about Lu Wenyang's Qingjun side spread, Lu Wenyang was defeated, which made people look like Lu Wenyang cooperated with Chu Yi to pit a large number of officials in Beijing.
There are dozens of officials implicated in Lu Wenyang this time, not counting many officials on the front line of the Grand Canal.
Although it is said that Lu Wenyang fought to the death for the sake of Qingjun's side, and most of his henchmen were transferred from both sides of the Grand Canal, but these henchmen were far and close to the Beijing Division, and when Lu Wenyang was defeated, there were even henchmen from the south of the Yangtze River who led the men and horses along the Grand Canal towards the Beijing Division.
Therefore, when it comes to the rebellion of Lu Wenyang, from the Beijing division to the locality, I am afraid that there will be at least hundreds of officials involved, but now that the Beijing division has stabilized, the next place is naturally the place.
Lu Wenyang was taken, and the position of the governor of Caoyun was naturally vacant, and this position was prepared by Chu Yi for Bi Heng, so Chu Yi directly asked the Son of Heaven to appoint Bi Heng as the new governor of Caoyun.
Zhu Houzhao naturally has nothing to hesitate about the candidates recommended by Chu Yi, plus Bi Heng is also an old minister, and even relied on his own ability to rise step by step from the local to the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, Zhu Houzhao still has a lot of information in his heart.
Coupled with Chu Yi's recommendation, Zhu Houzhao directly ordered the appointment of Bi Heng as the governor of Caoyun, and in order to prevent the remnants of Lu Wenyang from being troubled on the front line of the Grand Canal, he even dispatched a team of Yulin Wei from among the twelve guards to accompany Bi Heng to Tianjin Wei in person.
In fact, if the hundreds of people in the Yulin Wei team really encountered any trouble, it would not be of much use, but Yulin Wei is the personal guard of the Son of Heaven, and generally speaking, he rarely leaves Beijing, and now he is sent by the Son of Heaven to escort Bi Heng to office, and fools know that the Son of Heaven values and favors Bi Heng, as long as it is not really without a little knowledge, no one will definitely jump out to embarrass Bi Heng.
More importantly, under the leadership of Han Kun, the commander of Wei, tens of thousands of troops in the imperial court seized Lu Wenyang's big ship one step earlier, and went straight to Tianjin Wei along the Grand Canal.
Tianjin Wei is Lu Wenyang's lair, but Lu Wenyang just left thousands of people to guard Tianjin Wei, in fact, there is no problem with Lu Wenyang's move, as long as he can successfully capture the capital, behead Chu Yi, and even replace the Son of Heaven, he will naturally be the existence of the world.
As for Tianjin Wei, no matter how many people are left behind, it is meaningless, let alone defeated.
The remaining guard of Tianjin Wei is Lu Wenyang's brother, Lu Wenlu, and Lu Wende are generally Lu Wenyang's two arms, but compared to Lu Wende, he controls the soldiers and horses for Lu Wenyang, and Lu Wenlu controls government affairs for Lu Wenyang.
The battle of the capital came to an end too quickly, and Lu Wenyang ended up in a complete defeat in the first battle, which few people may have thought.
When Han Kun led the army straight to Tianjin, Lu Wenlu was left behind and was busy preparing grain for Lu Wenyang to make logistical preparations.
In Lu Wenlu's opinion, the capital is difficult, and even if Lu Wenyang can hook up with the officials in the city, he is afraid that he will not be able to capture the capital in three or five days, so the necessary grain and grass must still be prepared.
On this day, Lu Wenlu was checking the accounts in the mansion and preparing to send someone to load the prepared grain and straw on the ship, when suddenly he saw a domestic servant stumbling over with a panicked look on his face outside the gate.
When he saw Lu Wenlu, the servant couldn't help but say in horror: "Master, there are many boats on the canal, and there are so many soldiers and horses on board!" ”
Lu Wenlu couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, his expression changed slightly, and his mind turned, this Grand Canal is their Lu clan's territory, it can be said that if it is the soldiers and horses from the south of the Yangtze River, they may have heard of it, but it is only the soldiers and horses from the Beijing Division.
"Could it be that my brother took the capital so quickly?"
Stunned for a moment, Lu Wenlu took a deep breath and looked at the servant and said, "Can you see clearly, what kind of banner is the person coming?" ”
Since it is a large army, it will inevitably play the banner of the main general, so Lu Wenlu has this question.
The servant shook his head blankly and said to Lu Wenlu: "Master, the little one doesn't know how to read at all!" ”
Lu Wenlu couldn't help but be stunned, he really asked Yu Blind, how many of the servants around him were literate, and he actually asked the other party whose banner it was, if the other party knew, it would be strange.
Lu Wenlu said slowly: "Someone, prepare a sedan chair, this official wants to go to the port to check!" ”
Soon, a sedan chair was carried away by several sturdy sedan chair drivers, and dozens of elite soldiers on both sides went straight to the port under the surround of dozens of elite soldiers.
Needless to say, the big ship that the servant said before was naturally from the Beijing Division, and the tens of thousands of men and horses on the ship were also the soldiers and horses of the Beijing camp led by Han Kun.
Taking advantage of the sound of the great victory, Han Kun led the army down the canal, but arrived at the port of Tianjin in just one day.
Standing on top of the big ship, he looked at the harbor in front of him and saw that there was no defense at all except for some large and small ships, which made Han Kun breathe a sigh of relief.
When the ship docked, it was the most dangerous, but the city of Tianjin seemed to be defenseless, but it allowed him to avoid the most dangerous step.
Han Kun said in a deep voice to the herald: "Raise the command flag, and the herald army will immediately abandon the ship and go ashore!" ”
As the flag waved, on the big ships, many generals received orders and ordered their soldiers to disembark.
It was just a cup of tea, and with the landing of the first batch of soldiers, Han Kun stepped on the ground, and looked at Tianjin City in the distance under the escort of his own soldiers, with a little joy on his face.
According to the information obtained, there are at most thousands of people left in Tianjin City, and he has brought tens of thousands of troops this time, even if he storms Tianjin City at that time, it will be enough to go down in one go.
Now that the army has landed, Tianjin City can be said to be in the palm of his hand.
Thinking that Chu Yi specially ordered him to lead a large army to capture Tianjin Wei, Han Kun couldn't help but feel a burst of gratitude in his heart, which was clearly to give him credit.
Fools know that with the defeat of Lu Wenyang, no matter who leads tens of thousands of troops to come, this Tianjin Wei can easily take it, but this is a military merit.
If there was no Chu Yi to name him, Han Kun would definitely not be able to compete with those generals who had the support of the Xungui Group behind him, so looking at Tianjin City, Han Kun was not only grateful to Chu Yi in his heart, but also grateful, and gave birth to a feeling of death for a confidant.
Just when Han Kun led the army to land, Lu Wenlu also came to the port in a sedan chair, but the army landed with such a big movement, and many people working on the port were naturally panicked.
And Lu Wenlu was sitting in the sedan chair, only to hear the chaos outside, and there was a famous Caoyun man running by.
Surprised in his heart, Lu Wenlu got down from the sedan chair, and what he saw was a figure running around in a panic, Lu Wenlu frowned, and inexplicably felt a little bad in his heart.
Lu Wenlu stepped forward, stopped a man and said, "What's going on, what's wrong with everyone?" ”
The man ran with everyone like a headless fly, and was stopped at this time, almost instinctively wanting to scold, but when he saw Lu Wenlu's silk and satin, plus dozens of strong soldiers on the side, the dirty words came to his mouth and swallowed again, looked at Lu Wenlu and said: "This adult, the little one doesn't know what's going on, everyone runs, and the little one naturally runs along." ”
Lu Wenlu couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and the man hurriedly said: "But the little one heard that it seems that a large army has landed, and everyone is afraid of being hit by a military disaster, so they will flee." ”
Lu Wenlu waved his hand and said, "Get out!" ”
The man hurriedly ran away as if he had been amnestied, while Lu Wenlu strode forward and went straight to the port, but he was only a few hundred meters away, and as he turned a corner, the huge port appeared in sight.
Lu Wenlu only saw the big ships on the canal approaching the port, and a famous soldier was quickly landing, and there was already a black pressure of soldiers before the port.
As Lu Wenlu's personal guard, Bai Mang couldn't help frowning and said, "My lord, these troops are not like those soldiers and horses that the Governor brought to the capital?" ”
There is naturally a difference between the soldiers and horses of the Beijing camp and the local guards, which even Lu Wenlu can see.
This will make Bai Mang glance, Lu Wenlu said to a soldier: "You go and check it out, and see if the adult has successfully broken the Jingshi and sent someone back?" ”
Although this is unlikely, Lu Wenlu has at least not thought about the news that Lu Wenyang has been defeated at this time.
After all, it was only a day before Lu Wenyang went to Jingshi, and even tens of thousands of pigs shouldn't be defeated so quickly.
The soldier approached the army, and was naturally discovered by Han Kun and others, and was taken down as soon as possible, and learned from the soldier that Tianjin City was left behind, and Lu Wenyang's brother, Lu Wenlu was actually in front, Han Kun couldn't help laughing.
Soon Han Kun took his guards and horses straight to where Lu Wenlu was, and when Lu Wenlu reacted, he was already surrounded.
Looking at Lu Wenlu, who was slightly flustered, Han Kun grinned as if he was looking at a little white rabbit: "Haha, God really helps me, I thought it would take a lot of effort, but I never thought that I would find Master Lu here, Tianjin City can be easily broken!" ”
Listening to Han Kun's words, Lu Wenlu sighed in his heart and said, "What is the name of the general, I don't know where it came from?" ”
Han Kun looked at Lu Wenlu with interest and said: "Lord Lu, listen up, this official is one of the commanders of the Tengxiang Four Guards, Han Kun, who came to receive the Tianjin Guards ...... on the order of Chu Yi Chu."
"Why, this is impossible, the Governor led a large army to attack the city, how could the Chu thief have the opportunity to send someone to Tianjin Wei!"
Hearing Lu Wenlu mention Lu Wenyang, Han Kun said with disdain: "How can Lu Wenyang be the opponent of Chief Chu, Chief Chu is just opening a big net, but Lu Wenyang obediently jumped in, just last night, Lu Wenyang and the others were still all taken." ”
When Lu Wenlu heard this, he only felt like five thunderbolts hitting the top, and his body shook and he almost lay on his back directly.
Looking at Lu Wenlu's appearance as if he was mourning, Han Kun waved his hand and said, "Take everyone down to General Ben!" ”
How dare those guards resist in the face of wolf-like soldiers and horses, and even obediently put down their weapons and capture them, otherwise, it seems that there is only one way to die.
"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible ......"
Lu Wenlu, who was lost and depressed, seemed to be a little crazy, and kept muttering in his mouth.
Han Kun asked people to escort Lu Wenlu to lead the soldiers and horses straight to Tianjin Wei, you must know that he came this time, on the other hand, there is an important task, that is, to protect the safety of the tens of millions of taels of silver that were robbed by Lu Wenyang, and at the same time blockade Tianjin City, waiting for the new Caoyun Governor appointed by the court to come and preside over the confiscation of Lu Wenyang's mansion.
There is no bottom in everyone's hearts about how much silver can be copied in Lu Wenyang's mansion, but one thing is certain, that is, Lu Wenyang has been sitting in the position of the governor of Caoyun for nearly ten years.
But just looking at Lu Wenyang's big arm bribing Chu Yi, you know that Lu Wenyang's net worth is definitely not simple, and even if he doesn't copy tens of millions of taels of silver, no one will feel a little strange.
If it is true that tens of millions of taels of silver can be copied from Lu Wenyang's mansion, plus tens of millions of taels of silver that were robbed by Lu Wenyang halfway, then the two add up, Tianjin Wei has 20 million taels of silver.
This is a rather terrible number, which is enough to cover the tax and silver income of the Ming Dynasty for several years.
If it weren't for that, how could a mere Tianjin guard let Chu Yi send Han Kun and lead tens of thousands of troops to come.
In the final analysis, it is not the rebels of Tianjin Wei who are worth dispatching so many soldiers and horses, but the wealth of Tianjin Wei, so much wealth, it is best to be guarded by a large army to make people feel at ease.
Lu Wenlu has been captured, and the remaining rebels have a little idea of resistance after learning the news of Lu Wenyang's defeat, so they were naturally easily taken, and so far the four gates of the Tianjin Acropolis fell into the hands of the army led by Han Kun.
As soon as Han Kun sent soldiers and horses to guard the Caoyun Mansion and Lu Wenyang's mansion and other courtyards, under such strict defense, even a fly would not want to fly in and out, although tens of millions of taels of silver were tempting, but under the shock of this army, even the most daring people would not dare to fight the idea of the huge property left by Lu Wenyang at this time.
On the second day after Tianjin Wei was taken by Han Kun, a large ship carrying the new Caoyun Governor Bi Heng and the hundreds of Tianzi pro-troops who escorted him docked at the port.
