Chapter 187: Uprooted
The so-called one person attains the Tao, and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven.
On Sun Cheng, the pro-army Yulinwei Xiaoqi officer half a year ago, it can be said that it is vividly embodied.
Leave Yulinwei with him and go to the East Palace, guarding the ten officers and soldiers of Yulinwei who was only the emperor's grandson at the time.
Now they have all entered the Jinyi Guard Yamen, and they have all been promoted.
The lowest, who is also a chief flag officer of the Jinyi Guard, leads fifty people.
Tian Mai was the worst of the ten people at the beginning, the chief flag officer of the Fusi Division of Weibei Town, Jinyi.
This time, the superintendent went ashore from Taizhou Mansion and escorted 500,000 stone of grain and grass to the imperial court for disaster relief, and sent it to Taizhou Mansion, and the errand of Jinhua Mansion was carried by Tian Mai.
At this moment, his cheeks were frozen by the ice and snow around him, and he was unhealthily red. With chapped lips, it was clear that he hadn't drunk for a long time.
Behind him were three thousand households and three thousand officers and soldiers of the Haimen Guards of Taizhou Mansion.
Under the ice and snow, this army marching in the snow is silent, as if the Wuzhi Mountain (this is the name on my map) located at the junction of Shaoxing and Jinhua Mansion, and the Puyang River blocks the direct connection between Pujiang County and Hangzhou Prefecture to the north.
In the northwest of Wuzhi Mountain, there are mountains in Zhejiang Province such as Wuchu Mountain and Jiuling Mountain.
These mountain ranges are so linked that the entire Jinhua Mansion can only be detoured south to the Yanzhou Mansion in the west to enter the Hangzhou Mansion. Or go east to Taizhou and Ningbo, and then cross Shaoxing and arrive at Hangzhou.
From Jinhua Mansion to the north to Hangzhou Mansion, there is no official post road. Without this, only pedestrians could pass, and no large armies or caravans could be allowed to pass.
In front is the county seat of Pujiang, and behind him are 3,000 officers and soldiers of the sea gate.
However, Tian Mai's attention and gaze were always at the forefront, as the guide and the real commander behind the scenes, the man wrapped in a black robe.
Men have no official position.
At least in the imperial court, in the treasury of the ministry, no one could find any information about him.
But Tian Mai, the chief flag officer of the Jinyi Guard, did not dare to offend this person at all.
"Big ...... Above...... Dare to ask what to do now? ”
Tian Mai thought about it for a long time, but he still didn't think that he couldn't hold how to call the person in front of him all the way.
The man frowned, this place was a shady slope outside Pujiang County.
On the opposite side, only ten miles away, is Pujiang County, where countless victims have gathered outside the city.
Under Tian Mai's nervous gaze, the man's hand was already on the hilt of a saber that was not a Ming standard.
Ever.
A sound of Jin Ge flint.
Wielding a long knife, the blade breaks through the wind, and the man who chops the snowflakes in the sky swings the knife forward.
"Pujiang County, all officials, gentry and businessmen will be punished!"
Bang.
Under the entire Wuzhi Mountain, it was really like the stone monkey that was pressed on the Wuzhi Mountain in the book, and in an instant, the sky was thundering, and the earth was shaking.
The hundreds of cavalry who had been hiding at the bottom of the shady slope had already circled out from both sides of the army.
When they reached the top of the slope, the spear pressed down, and the red tassels rolled up the snow, and the dragon groaned incomprehensibly.
The cavalry began to charge from the top of the slope.
Ten miles, for these most elite Ming soldiers, it is just an instant.
Then, Tian Mai followed closely behind the man, commanding the rest of the foot soldiers to speed forward and rush down the yin slope.
The cavalry who rushed to the front rushed to the front of Pujiang County with a gust of snow and cold wind.
The officials and gentry in Pujiang County are very decent.
No matter how many victims gathered around the county, the road leading to the county gate always left enough for a dozen riders to ride in parallel.
And these more than 500 Haimen guard cavalry rushed into this road.
The surrounding people were probably really numb, and they didn't react when they saw these menacing officers and soldiers in vain.
They just quietly watched as these officers and soldiers who showed their long knives rushed to the county seat.
And the officers and soldiers on horseback were already chanting.
"The imperial court has a decree, the consul general of the King of Qin will supervise the disaster relief in Zhejiang Province, and the grandson of the emperor of the country and the governor of the Chinese military will co-organize."
"The government of Pujiang County, Jinhua Prefecture, is greedy for grain and grass for disaster relief, and the heavens are intolerable, so Qin sent it to ask for it!"
"The officials and gentry of Pujiang County colluded, the gentry and merchants intercepted grain and grass, raised the price of grain, bought wives and children, and caused the destruction of the people's families, and they were sent to ask for it!"
"I'm waiting for the order to kill the official and ask for the thief!"
"Kill the official and beg the thief!"
"Kill the official and beg the thief!"
By the end, more than 500 horsemen had already shouted out the purpose of this time in unison.
The victims outside Pujiang County, there were gradually more different things in their numb and cold eyes.
The cold eyes began to gradually become rosy.
Before they could respond, the cavalry in front had already rushed into the county.
On the snowfield behind, more officers and soldiers rushed over.
They also shouted in unison to kill officials and thieves.
Outside Pujiang County, the hearts of the victims gradually settled down.
In the county seat, several thick black smoke has risen.
Faintly, there were sounds of begging for mercy and the sound of unresponsive swords.
……
At this time, it was the Lantern Festival in the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu.
Probably because of the disaster in Zhejiang, this year, in Hangzhou, there is less lively atmosphere in previous years, and few people hang red lanterns at the door in the streets and alleys.
Families are tightening their belts to get by, and no one knows if the surplus food in their granary pockets will be able to support the day the disaster leaves.
"The Legend of the Fairy Tree"
However, the world is always unequal.
Some people are going through tribulations, and some people are enjoying luxury.
This is the real world.
The white wall of the Zhejiang Road is outside the Liu's house.
Zhu Yunxi was just wearing a wool coat, with a drag in it, and a goose feather knife hanging from his belt.
Dressed like this so that he might kill someone today.
Behind him, in the alleyway in front of the entire Liu Mansion, there were no less than 100 Jinyi guards, led by Sun Cheng, the deputy Qianhu.
Farther away, with Liu Fu as the core, were the guards of the Hangzhou Mansion of Zhejiang Province led by Tang Li after more than half a month of integration.
According to the practice of the imperial court, from the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Zhu Yunxi gave the officials in Hangzhou annual leave.
Today is the day of harvest.
When he set off at Yingtiancheng Longwan Pier a year ago, Zhu Yunxi didn't expect that the prince's father was actually in a wheelchair, starting from the imperial city all the way through Yingtiancheng, rushing to the dock outside the Jinchuan Gate, and handing over the secret guard to himself.
These people either accompanied or quietly lurked into Zhejiang Dao, and now they have been wearing stars and moons and suffering from frost, and everything they have paid has also reached the harvest time.
glanced at the Liu Mansion standing in the plain door.
In the courtyard wall, there is constantly the sound of silk and bamboo.
Zhu Yunxi sneered silently.
Is this the outward defeat of gold and jade?
On the surface, he looks like he is suffering with the people, but behind the scenes, he is enjoying the life of the people's fat and people's anointing, and he is drunk and gold-obsessed.
Defying the wind seems to be what these people are most passionate about.
Zhu Yunxi couldn't understand why they always had such boldness.
Can't figure it out.
Then the only way to solve it is to use the sword.
"Kill!"
Zhu Yunxi gave an order.
The gate of Liu Man's mansion, the political envoy of Zhejiang Daobu, fell down with a bang.
