Chapter 375

Song Nan unreservedly informed everyone about the Ansu thieves breaking through, and the Zhuozhou military and political officials on the seat were all dumbfounded, and a question was tumbling in everyone's hearts, Hemao Mountain Wei Bauhinia Guanwei two guards and horses, 13,000 people, and the surrounding Baoding, Xiongzhou, Xin'an soldiers and horses also have seven or eight thousand, at least more than 20,000 officers and soldiers surrounded by an iron bucket array, but the thieves and soldiers unknowingly broke through to the north, and also took Maoshanwei's hometown, how stupid should the leader be?

But everyone just muttered in their hearts, but they didn't dare to say it, because the governor of the West Road to suppress the thieves and lead the army was Gu Dayong, who was the eunuch of the head of the imperial horse prison in the inner court, and the red people around the emperor and Liu Jin, and they couldn't slander it in half a sentence, so they could only slander it in their stomachs.

Huang Mengyuan coughed and said, "The thief is really cunning, he actually ...... actually came up with a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain and attack the west...... This...... And it's no wonder. ”

Song Nan sneered: "Does Lord Huang really think so? It is better to say that the thieves are cunning than to say that the officers and soldiers are stupid. ”

Huang Mengyuan said in his heart: This is what you said, but I didn't say it, you also have a share.

Song Nan drank and ate food, the atmosphere was a little dull for a while, and there was a sudden whistle on the street below the restaurant, and the sound of scolding and scolding was endless, and some people were crying and shouting that they were wronged, and their voices were poignant and harsh.

Song Nan frowned, Huang Mengyuan hurriedly turned his head and ordered: "Go and see who is making noise, don't you know that the adults of Jinyiwei are drinking here?" ”

An errand officer turned around and went downstairs to check, and after a while, he staggered upstairs and said: "Lord Qiyu Zhizhou, it's not a big deal, it's the government officials who are arresting the people who are sitting on thieves, these guys are still shouting wronged, running around the street, and they were arrested by the king and ended up with two." ”

Huang Mengyuan nodded and said coldly: "Let them get aside, don't disturb the wine of the Jinyi Guard." ”

The messenger hurriedly agreed to pass the word, and Song Nan frowned and asked, "What kind of people from thieves sit together?" ”

Huang Mengyuan hurriedly said: "Commander Song still doesn't know? Oh yes, Commander Song is entangled with the thieves, I'm afraid I haven't received the news, and the holy decree was only conveyed to me in Zhuozhou this morning. ”

Song Nan became more and more curious: "What holy decree?" ”

Huang Mengyuan said: "I heard that the thieves on the East Road entered Shandong, and the number of thieves reached more than 20,000 within ten days, and the court hated it, so it promulgated the "Law of Shiwu Liansit" for the people who followed the thieves. Although the thieves in Zhuozhou will attack and harass in the future, there are many people who have fled and come here, as well as the relatives of the thieves in other state capitals, who live here, and according to the holy decree, they must be arrested and brought to justice. ”

Song Nan slammed the slap on the table, his face turned pale, all the officials were startled, and the Jinyi guards were all angry, even the officials who did not belong to the Jinyi Wei were weak in their legs and stomachs, and they didn't know why.

"Nonsense, it's just nonsense!" Song Nan gritted his teeth.

Hou Dabiao looked at the Zhuozhou officials present, leaned into Song Nan's ear and said: "My lord, this is a holy decree, in front of outsiders......

Song Nan closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths, his face gradually calmed down, and he hugged his fists and said to Huang Mengyuan and several guard commanders: "Everyone, Song Mou is out of shape, I'm very sorry; Song is not aimed at you, but because of the depression in his heart and the feelings are not good, thank you for the banquet I want to invite, Song said goodbye! ”

Huang Mengyuan was stunned and said: "This wine ......"

Song Nan got up and said: "Thank you, don't drink, we will leave Zhuozhou early tomorrow morning and go to Beijing, you don't have to bother to see you off, don't say goodbye." ”

Then he got up and strode away from the table, and staggered down the stairs; Hou Dabiao, Wan Zhi, Wang Yong and others also got up and left, and Hou Dabiao did not forget to grab a roast goose leg when he left, and gnawed while walking.

The officials of Zhuozhou were stunned, and after a while, Zhuozhou Tongzhi Wu Zhen said in a low voice: "This Song Nan has a big temper and a big shelf. Our prefect and the generals of the guard gave face like this, but he slapped the table in front of everyone, he really didn't know how to lift; Is Jinyiwei amazing? ”

Huang Mengyuan's face turned pale, turned around and looked at Wu Zhen angrily and said, "What did you say, if it weren't for the presence of everyone, this official would not spare you; Do you say that Song Nan is whatever you can say? He is not only the commander of the Jinyi Guard but also the son-in-law of the British Mansion, and the Battle of Xinpingbao single-handedly saved the emperor from the army and awarded the title of Earl of Yongguan, which is also arranged behind your back? ”

Na Tongzhi's face turned pale and bowed his head and he was silent, Huang Mengyuan said in a soothing tone: "Song Nan is not angry at us, he is angry at this Shiwu method of sitting together, it is indeed undebatable for the court to issue this order, hey, don't say it, disperse; Wu Tongzhi ordered someone to send some wine and meat to the Jinyi Guard Yamen so that Lord Song's deployment could eat and sleep for one night, and they would leave tomorrow, and no one was allowed to bother much before that. instructed the yamen to arrest quickly, and to suspend the arrest of Lian Sitting. ”

Song Nan was upset, whipping the horsewhip and running wildly on the street, everyone followed behind and did not dare to speak, and when he rushed back to the door of the Zhuozhou Jinyi Guard, Song Nan's feelings calmed down a little.

The words of Huang Mengyuan, the prefect of Zhuozhou, are still in his ears, and the thieves on the east road have entered Shandong, which means that the plan of the imperial court to send Xu Yande to lead the army to exterminate the thieves on the east road has failed, and further south of Shandong, it is the place where the Ming Dynasty's troops are weak, and it is more beneficial to the supply of thieves and soldiers in the Jianghuai area, not to mention the rich land of fish and rice.

That's not all, the imperial court actually launched the method of Shiwu sitting, which seems to be to warn the people not to obey the thieves, but Song Nan knows that most of the people are coerced to join, and the coerced people may still escape from the thief and soldiers.

In other words, once one of the people of Shiwu Baojia is forced to obey the thieves, the rest of the people may not need to be persecuted by the thieves and can only join the thieves for their lives, otherwise the government will have to deal with the thieves, what a stupid policy.

Song Nan didn't know who proposed this policy, why no one opposed it, and allowed Zhengde to promulgate it, but he knew that if he couldn't ban this ordinance as much as possible, the already deteriorating shape would be even more erosive.

The next day, Song Nan led the crowd out of the city, and on the way, he quickly whipped his horse and whipped up, never stopping in the state capital along the way, running wildly for a day and night, and finally arrived in the capital in the early morning of September 17.

In the capital, the people were bustling in the streets, as if they didn't know that the Ming Dynasty was experiencing a huge catastrophe, Song Nan ordered everyone to go back to the yamen, and they didn't have time to go back to the palace directly.

At this time, just approaching, Zhengde had just announced the dissolution of the dynasty, and the ministers were still bowing down and waiting for Zhengde to go to the side hall before daring to withdraw, and suddenly, I heard someone shouting outside the hall: "Your Majesty, and slowly retreat from the court, the minister Song Nan has a performance." ”

Zhengde and the ministers were all stunned, but when they saw Song Nan running quickly from the steps outside the hall and rushing directly into the hall, Zhengde hurriedly turned around and said in astonishment: "Song Nan, when will you return to Beijing?" ”

Song Nan gave a salute, gasped and said: "Your Majesty, the minister has been traveling for four days and has just returned to Beijing." ”

Zhengde said: "It's hard work, why don't you go back to your home to rest for a day?" ”

Song Nan said: "I can't rest, the minister has something important to report." ”

Zhengde said: "Is it the news that the thieves broke through from Ansu?" I already know that Gu Dayong has ordered someone to come to report the situation, although you are at fault for this matter, but after all, the thieves are too cunning, and I will not blame you. ”

Song Nan frowned and said, "What does the emperor mean by this?" Could it be that Gu Dayong blamed me for this fault? ”

Zhengde soothed: "I have already said it, I will not blame you. ”

Song Nan said quietly: "The minister wants to know how Gu Dayong discussed this matter. ”

Zhengde looked at Song Nan, walked back to his seat and said, "Okay, since you have something to play, the morning will be delayed today, Song Nan, what do you have to do?" ”

Song Nan said coldly: "The minister only wants to know now how Gu Dayong broke through the siege of the thieves." ”

Zhengde frowned and said: I will save face for you in front of the ministers, you have to ask, I said that I don't blame you, this Song Nan is really tough.

Zhengde sighed, waved his hand, and Liu Jin, who had a somewhat thin face, slowly stood up.

"Song Nan, Gu Da said with a play, you privately transferred a thousand soldiers and horses from Baoding Mansion to guard Xin'an County, so that Baoding Mansion was empty of soldiers and horses, and the thieves coerced the people to attack, forcing the Bauhinia Guard army to be saved, so that the thieves escaped overnight; Yes and no? ”

Song Nan's face turned pale, his teeth bit out a row of marks on his lower lip, and he laughed loudly.

Liu Jin frowned and said, "Song Nan, this is above the court, how can you be so crazy." ”

Song Nan shouted: "Shut your mouth, it's not your turn to teach me a lesson." ”

As soon as Song Nan said this, the hall was shocked, and he scolded Liu Jin in the hall, no one has dared to do so in recent years.

Zhengde was dumbfounded, Liu Jin's face changed drastically, the British Duke frowned and shook his head, Yang Tinghe smiled indifferently on his lips, all kinds of people in the hall, with different expressions and different moods, only one thing was the same, they all looked at the battle of dragons and tigers in the hall.
