Mo Qian hurriedly stepped forward and saluted and shouted, "Son-in-law, see Lord Taishan." ”

Yang Sichang turned his head to look at Mo Qian when he heard the sound, and saw a young man in a cyan regular uniform standing at the door saluting him.

Yang Sichang was sitting on the chair, took a sip of the tea in his hand, and said leisurely: "You are Mo Qian, right?" ”

"It's the son-in-law!"

As soon as Mo Qian's words fell, Yang Sichang suddenly threw away the teacup in his hand and scolded angrily: "I don't have a son-in-law like you, my son-in-law Yang Sichang should be loyal to the country, serve the country and serve the country loyally, not some thief!"

The teacup fell to the ground and shattered into dozens of pieces in an instant, and the sound attracted the soldiers in the front hall of the house.

The soldiers rushed out of their sabbets and came to the rear office, and they were stunned when they saw the scene.

Yang Sichang saw that Mo Qian's personal soldiers actually rushed in when they heard the voice, and his face turned cold immediately, and then said: "Okay, it seems that you, the thief, want to kill my father-in-law with your own hands, right?" ”

When Mo Qian heard this, he suddenly felt wronged, he waved his hand and said, "My father-in-law has misunderstood, how dare my son-in-law do this." ”

Then Mo Qian turned around and scolded his own soldiers, "What are you doing here?" Don't get out yet! ”

The soldiers looked at each other, and immediately realized that they had made a big mistake, quickly put their sabers back into their sheaths, and fled with their necks bent.

Seeing the soldiers leaving, Mo Qian turned around and said, "Father-in-law, calm down, my relatives don't understand the rules, please forgive my father-in-law!" ”

Yang Suxin, who was on the side, also hurriedly stepped forward to persuade Yang Sichang at this time, "Father, this is all a misunderstanding, please don't take it to heart!" ”

Yang Sichang glared at the two of them angrily, and said: "Hmph, it is clear that he has already ambushed the knife and axe hand, and wants to kill me by smashing the cup, I am a second-class member of the imperial court, you are a thief, since ancient times, the thief and the government have not been separated, how dare he, the anti-king, let me go so easily!" ”

"Father misunderstood, how could Brother Qian harm you, Brother Qian has never had this kind of thought, it is really that the soldiers in the house are too nervous, thinking that this is dangerous, so they came in, and please calm my father's anger!" Yang Suxin didn't want her father to have any estrangement with her husband, so she hurriedly persuaded her.

Mo Qian also hurriedly explained: "Father-in-law, this is really a misunderstanding, although I Mo Qian is a thief, but I have never had the intention of harming my father-in-law, I have already married Su Xin, it was my grandfather who single-handedly promoted our marriage, if I want to harm my father-in-law, why wait for my father-in-law to enter the mansion, just send a team of people to set up an ambush on the way back to Wuling, and then declare to the outside world that it was a bandit, isn't it logical?" ”

As soon as Yang Sichang heard this, the doubts in his heart were reduced.

He looked at Mo Qian and asked very seriously: "Since you are married to Su Xin, you are my son-in-law Yang Sichang, although I have now asked Your Majesty to return to my hometown Ding Wei, and I no longer have an official position, but I may be seized at any time, in case Your Majesty sends me to Jiangxi as a governor or governor, and wants me to exterminate you, then you and I will meet on the battlefield, but what should I do?" ”

When Mo Qian heard Yang Sichang's question, he had already prepared in advance.

He said: "Father-in-law, although there is no father and son on the battlefield, but after all, you are a father of Su Xin, my father-in-law, if there is really such a day, the son-in-law will never be embarrassed by his father-in-law, and he must first retreat from the army to be full of filial piety." ”

When Yang Sichang heard this answer, he nodded with satisfaction in his heart.

"Since you and Su Xin are married, it's not easy for me, an old man, to tear you two apart again, but after all, the old man and I are officials in the imperial court, and the relationship between you and me must be kept secret.

I came to Yuanzhou this time to pick up my father's bones and send them to the ancestral grave for burial, so I came, Su Xin, can your grandfather be buried? ”

Yang Suxin shook his head and said, "Husband knows that you will definitely send someone to take away Grandpa's body, so you just cremated Grandpa, not buried!" ”

Yang Sichang was even more relieved to hear that his father Yang He was not buried, he was really afraid that his son-in-law would bury his father in Yuanzhou on his own initiative, and it would be too unlucky for him to dig a grave as a son at that time.

"In that case, Su Xin, give me my grandfather's ashes, I will be buried in the ancestral grave of Wuling!"

"Yes!"

Yang Suxin quickly took the ash altar containing Yang He's ashes, Yang Sichang took the jar and put it on the desk, and asked Yang Suxin to take paper money and incense candles, after lighting the incense candles, Yang Sichang took three incense, and then respectfully kowtowed to Yang He's ashes altar three times.

After getting Yang He's ashes, Yang Sichang said to the two: "I'm about to leave for my hometown in Wuling, you two must take care in the future!" ”

"Father, why are you in such a hurry? Why don't you stay for a few more days, so that Brother Qian and I can do our filial piety to you! ”

Yang Sichang smiled and waved his hand: "I was a former official of the imperial court, the governor of Xuanda, and rashly appeared in the anti-thief's mansion, if this is seen and stabbed in front of His Majesty by someone with a heart, what will I use to explain this matter at that time?" Moreover, I have already met Lu Xiangsheng in Nanchang, Lu Xiangsheng knows that I have come to Yuanzhou, if I stay in Yuanzhou and he learns about it, if he joins me in front of His Majesty, my Yang family will not be in trouble!

As a father, I don't live here, I want to hurry up and set off with your grandfather's ashes, the sooner I leave Yuanzhou, the better it will be for my Yang family, and the less likely it will be for our relationship to leak out. ”

After speaking, Yang Sichang turned his head to Mo Qian and reminded: "Remember, no matter what time it is, don't tell anyone that I am your father-in-law, understand?" ”

Mo Qian nodded, "Son-in-law understands, please rest assured father-in-law!" As he spoke, Mo Qian took out a token from his sleeve and handed it to Yang Sichang: "Father-in-law, this is the token of the son-in-law, and the father-in-law can enter and exit the city gate at will in the four mansions under my rule with this token, and no one dares to stop him!" ”

Yang Sichang took the token, only to see that the copper token was engraved with a regular script Mo, he smiled and nodded: "Well, I hope you and my son-in-law will not meet on the battlefield!" ”

Yang Sichang left the government with this sentence, got into the carriage at the door with the urn, and quickly left the city from the Xichang Gorge Gate and went straight to Pingxiang County in the west.

.......

Yang Sichang said goodbye from Nanchang City, which made Lu Xiangsheng a little surprised in his heart.

Lu Xiangsheng and Yang Sichang had a dispute in their eyes because of the issue of foreign strategy, and finally the two broke up unhappily.

After returning to the governor's yamen, Lu Xiangsheng felt that he was not wrong, the Jiannu outside the gate were wolf ambitions, they were the henchmen of the Ming Dynasty, how could they negotiate peace with such barbarians?

Even if the Ming Dynasty did not have the national strength to support a two-sided war, it would not be able to negotiate peace with those jackals outside the border.

Once peace is negotiated, then they will definitely open their mouths, ask for huge sums of money and food, and even ask for land cession.

Lu Xiangsheng said to himself in the bedroom: "I think that my Ming Dynasty has been two hundred and seventy years, and there has never been a foreign enemy to cede land and pay compensation, if it is really peaceful, the Tartars will inevitably put forward a request for land reparation, if you agree, where is the face of the ancestors, where is the prestige of the Ming Dynasty?" Negotiation is not feasible! ”

Lu Xiangsheng made up his mind in his heart that if anyone in the court dared to propose peace, he would be the first to write a letter to impeach that person and resolutely oppose it!

Early the next morning, Lu Xiangsheng wanted to negotiate with Yang Sichang again, hoping to dispel Yang Sichang's mind to negotiate peace.

But when he brought people to the inn, he found that Yang Sichang and his party had already left the room in the morning.

Lu Xiangsheng sent someone to inquire, only to know that Yang Sichang took his family out of the city and went south.

A lieutenant general beside Lu Xiangsheng immediately said to him: "Dashuai, then Yang Sichang must have gone to Yuanzhou to pick up his father's corpse, that Yuanzhou is the territory of the Mo thief, should we send someone to chase Lord Yang and persuade him not to go." ”

Lu Xiangsheng thought for a while, raised his hand and said: "No, Lord Yang has a heart of filial piety, how can we stop it, if we stop it, it is unreasonable to be reasonable, as for him to enter the territory of the thief, it is his own business, and it has nothing to do with us." We have more important things to do, you go and prepare, seven days later, this official will crusade against the cult of Guangxin Mansion! ”

It has been five months since Lu Xiangsheng came to Nanchang, and his new peasant army has finally been trained.

Lu Xiangsheng organized and trained 20,000 peasant new troops, these months, 20,000 horses and horses practiced every day, by December, Lu Xiangsheng felt that the army had basic combat effectiveness, he decided not to shrink in Nanchang, ready to destroy the demon Zhang Puwei of Guangxin Mansion first.

Since Zhang Puwei rebelled in the summer, he coerced hundreds of thousands of people to rebel in Guangxin Mansion, and captured the capital city of Shangrao, killing the king of Shangrao and local officials.

As soon as Lu Xiangsheng arrived in Jiangxi, he first formulated a plan to suppress bandits first in the east and then in the west.

Yuanzhou's Mo thief's strength was too great, and Lu Xiangsheng asked himself if he was not sure that he would annihilate him in a battle, so he could only fight Zhang Puwei of Guangxin first.

Since Zhang Puwei captured Guangxin Mansion, he proclaimed himself the king of Wuwei, and his subordinate Jiang Yi was the king of the East, Zhou Ba was the king of the West, Zhou Qingjun was the king of the South, and Feng Shanji was the king of the north.

The five of them claimed to be the king and hegemon in Guangxin Mansion, and Zhang Puwei occupied the palace of King Shangrao as his own palace, and sent his subordinates to Guangxin to collect beauties and gold and silver treasures for his pleasure every day.

At first, the people of Guangxin were robbed by Zhejiang soldiers, so they had no choice but to rebel with Zhang Puwei.

But since the Zhejiang soldiers left, Zhang Puwei became the king of Guangxin, and the people quickly realized Zhang Puwei's true face.

This person is a Wuwei Heavenly King, he is simply a robber, and the Wuwei Sect he created is all included in some ruffians and hooligans.

In the name of the king of heaven, the ruffians and hooligans do all kinds of evil in Guangxin Mansion every day, they rob the people's daughters, occupy houses and fields, ask for money, and those who do not obey will be executed in the name of the king.

In addition, Zhang Puwei also pretended to be the patriarch of the Sanqing Dynasty, saying that he could ask God to possess him, and asked every family to invite a master of the Wuwei Sect to go to the cave house on the night of marrying a new daughter-in-law.

During the practice, there can only be two brides and Taoist priests in the cave room, and the rest of the people are not allowed to enter, even the courtyard gate, otherwise this practice will not work.

When Lu Xiangsheng heard these absurd information, he was furious, and he knew that the time had come to exterminate the cult.

On the eighth day of the eighth lunar month of the eighth year of Chongzhen, Lu Xiangsheng led 20,000 new troops from Nanchang, and after five days of marching, the army arrived in Guixi County, at the western end of Guangxin Mansion.

Zhou Ba, the Western Heavenly King who was in charge of guarding Guixi, led 3,000 disciples to resist for only one hour, and then he was so frightened that he abandoned the city and fled to Yiyang.

Lu Xiangsheng led his troops to chase closely, all the way from Guixi to Yiyang, and the officers and soldiers beheaded more than 2,000 and successfully recovered Guixi.

The people of Guixi were all overjoyed when they saw the officials and soldiers under the banner of the Ming Dynasty, and everyone rushed to tell each other, saying that the officials and soldiers of the imperial court had fought back.

As soon as the people heard that the officers and soldiers of the imperial court had returned, they followed the example of when they rebelled against Zhang Puwei, took out a flat pole and a hoe from their homes, and followed the officials and soldiers to kill the disciples of Wuweijiao.

How did they kill the officers and soldiers of the Wuwei Sect in the beginning, but now they kill the Wuwei Sect.

Lu Xiangsheng didn't expect the people of Guangxin to welcome them so much, and the morale of the officers and soldiers was suddenly shocked, and the momentum was like a bamboo, breaking through the three county towns of Guixi, Yiyang, and Xing'an in one day.

The defenders of the three county towns did not even resist at all, and as soon as they saw the soldiers and horses of the imperial court coming, they were so frightened that they abandoned the city and ran.

That night, the vanguard of the official army arrived outside the city of Shangrao, the city of Guangxinfu.

Zhang Puwei, who was doing exercises with the princesses in the palace, heard that the officers and soldiers had actually called, and he was immediately frightened.

He called his cronies to ask, and then he learned that it was Lu Xiangsheng, the new governor of Jiangxi, who led the troops to destroy him.

Zhang Puwei had long known that Lu Xiangsheng had been appointed governor of Jiangxi, but since July, Lu Xiangsheng had not done anything to him, which made Zhang Puwei arrogantly think that Lu Xiangsheng was a coward and did not dare to send troops to fight him.

Moreover, in the west of Nanchang, Mo Wen, another anti-king of Yuanzhou Mansion, had conquered Gao'an County, and his soldiers and horses could already endanger the safety of Nanchang.

Zhang Puwei was even more sure in his heart, even if he Lu Xiangsheng used soldiers, he would not attack him first, and he would definitely fight with Mo Wen, who occupied Gao'an, first.

Zhang Puwei enjoyed his hard-won good life in the palace of King Shangrao, and indulged in pleasure with his wife and concubine in the palace every day, singing every night, this day is simply more chic than the Jade Emperor.

It wasn't until the rout fled into Shangrao City that Zhang Puwei knew that the official army had taken three cities in one day.

He sat down on the carpet in fright.

Lu Xiangsheng thought that it would take a lot of effort to recover Guangxin, but he didn't expect this battle to go so smoothly.

From morning to night, the army actually ran a hundred miles in one day, and without much effort, carved three cities in a row, beheading more than 4,000 people, which can be described as a great victory.

Lu Xiangsheng was full of confidence, and he instructed his generals to ask the army to enter Shangrao overnight tonight, surround the city, and absolutely not let go of the demon Zhang Puwei and the so-called Four Heavenly Kings.

That night, the officers and soldiers marched all night after having a hurried dinner, and when they got up early the next morning, Zhang Puwei received good news from his cronies.

"King, king, it's not good, Lu Xiangsheng's 30,000 army and Shangrao are surrounded!"

When Zhang Puwei heard this, he suddenly became angry and fainted!
