Chapter 51: The white-haired veteran is mighty

At this moment, two teams of people outside the Yamen of the Chief Secretary are fighting.

Mao Xiang was not idle during this period of time, he suddenly attacked Hangzhou Jinyi Wei Qianhu, took down Hangzhou Jinyi Wei Qianhu, integrated Jinyi Wei Qianhu, plus Mao Xiang's own manpower, it was enough to catch Guo Heng and others.

But Mao Xiang never expected to meet Hangzhou Qianwei and Hangzhou Youwei here, and these two guards in Hangzhou suddenly appeared here.

The two sides bumped into each other, and there was no time to explain. There was a fight on the long street outside the Zhejiang Political Division.

It must be known that the combat effectiveness of the guard post in these years is quite good. There are more than 10,000 people in the two guards. The vacancies are minimal. Moreover, many officers at all levels are veterans who participated in the founding of the country, and their combat effectiveness is very good. Jinyiwei is certainly elite, but there are too few people. It is also because the streets of Hangzhou Mansion are not too wide, which makes the two sides stalemate, if it is in the wilderness, and now the winner has been decided.

Mao Xiang pressed the embroidered spring knife in his hand, gritted his teeth and said: "Shout to me, Jinyi Wei will take Guo Huan on behalf of His Majesty, and those who do not obey will be punished for the same crime, and there will be no forgiveness for killing." ”

As a result, hundreds of brocade guards shouted loudly. The voice was heard far away.

According to the inspector Wang Zhong's face was pale, and beside him was the Hangzhou avant-garde commander's pale face, round face, full of panic, and immediately said: "Lord Wang." What should I do? ”

Wang Zhong's face turned pale, and he said, "What should I do?" What else can I do? You also took the money. You are in Hangzhou in the house, the manor outside the city. How did the beauties in the house come about? And now at this time, what will it look like if we are tied up? You are also an old man who follows Your Majesty. What will Your Majesty do, don't you know? ”

The conductor's face turned pale to iron, and then to red.

To tell the truth, when this commander was young, he also fought in blood and fire. From a small pawn step by step to the present. It's just that when the Ming Dynasty opened the country, he could be called a fierce general, and he could climb to this position, which can be regarded as his own limit.

Originally, he was retired as an avant-garde commander in Hangzhou.

was pulled into the water by Guo Huan.

The wealth and glory of the past ten years have already exhausted his blood and energy back then. It's just that when he thinks of His Majesty's methods today, he is cold to the bone. Gritting his teeth, he shouted, "Protect the envoy." On the opposite side is disguised as Jinyiwei, the original Hangzhou Jinyiwei Qianhu, who has been killed by thieves. ”

"Kill the enemy quickly."

Therefore, the two sides could not fight.

There was a trace of cold sweat on Mao Xiang's forehead. If he really wants to provoke Hangzhou to rebel, this is his sin, such a big crime is enough to ask for Mao Xiang's head.

The reason for this situation. Or Mao Xiang underestimated Guo Huan. Mao Xiang's attention has always been on He Xi, a noble man, and he has not looked at Guo Huan at all, jokes, are there still fewer ministers of the Jinyi Health Office back then?

A mere political envoy is nothing.

It's just that Mao Xiang didn't think that when he ran those ministers, he was in Beijing, with Zhu Yuanzhang in charge, and more than a dozen Beijing camps. The garrison in Hangzhou City, that is, the two guards of 10,000 people, as for the other guards, some of them were conscripted to the prefecture to suppress bandits.

Even if there are some left, it is a little far from Hangzhou.

It is difficult to save the fire from far water.

At this time, suddenly Mao Xiang felt the ground shake slightly, Mao Xiang was immediately startled, and said secretly: "It's a cavalry." Minimum 100 rides. ”

The Ming Dynasty was not without cavalry. And the vast majority of the Ming cavalry was in the north. All parts of the south are mainly foot soldiers, even in the city of Hangzhou, there are not many cavalry. That is, the officers have horses to ride, and as for the formed cavalry, there is none.

On the one hand, there are fewer horses. On the other hand, the terrain of Jiangnan is also used a lot.

And now where did this horse come from?

Mao Xiang was worried that it was Guo Huan's hidden killer feature, and for a while, his forehead was sweating, and the whole person couldn't stop it.

The "-----" sound is so sharp that it can almost pierce the eardrum, and it's nothing else. It's the Ming Dysprosium. That is, to play short on the arrow. As the arrow flies, the air passes through the hole. Make a high-pitched sound.

A rain of arrows shot at the place where the two sides were fighting. A considerable part of it was shot on the ground, and most of them were bounced off by the bluestone slabs on the ground. Only a dozen or so stuck into the ground. A considerable part of them were shot into the soldiers of both warring sides, leaving several corpses at one time.

"Da-da." This is the sound of a horseshoe hitting a bluestone slab. But I saw a white-haired veteran, dressed in armor, riding on a horse, surrounded by more than a dozen horsemen behind him, and a big banner behind him: "Tang." ”

This is the Ming Dynasty Yan'an Hou Tang Shengzong.

Tang Shengzong's eyes were like lightning, he swept around, and said, "What are you doing here?" Lay down your arms for me. ”

Jinyiwei's side could still withstand Tang Shengzong's roar, but the soldiers of Hangzhou's avant-garde, one by one, were like quails, and immediately threw the weapons in their hands on the ground. Don't dare to disobey the slightest.

The power of the general, as soon as it is.

Although Tang Shengzong is not a first-class general of the Ming Dynasty, he can be called a general. Follow Zhu Yuanzhang to fight in the south and in the north. I don't know how many difficult and dangerous wars I have fought, and in the past two years in Zhejiang, I have suppressed bandits, and Tang Shengzong has seen all the officers of the guard.

At the same time, these middle- and lower-level officers have also seen Tang Shengzong.

Of course, although Tang Shengzong has accumulated profound prestige, he did not roar and make thousands of troops lose their power. In the final analysis, the Ming Dynasty is a nascent dynasty. It's still very clear. Guo Huan can buy middle and upper-level officials, but he can't buy most of the middle- and lower-level officers and the majority of soldiers.

In fact, the soldiers are not fools.

Just Shangguan let the fight, they had to from. It's not that there is no doubt that there is a cat in it. Now Tang Shengzong appeared. Not to mention that Tang Shengzong had the right to control all the soldiers and horses in Zhejiang because of the suppression of bandits, and he also commanded them in Zhejiang. Just say that Tang Shengzong is a marquis.

He is a veteran who follows His Majesty. In the hearts of the soldiers, they can represent the court better than their own bosses.

Of course, they didn't know that there was also a knot between this veteran and His Majesty.

He Xi wrote a letter very early to ask Tang Shengzong to return to Hangzhou.

This decision, He Xi couldn't find Guo Huan's handle in Hangzhou, so he had already made a decision to invite Tang Shengzong back.

The reason is very simple, Hangzhou is ironclad, He Xi is very worried, and he may not be able to get out of the whole body if he finds out anything. Of course, this is just a matter of preparedness, if there is no matter, it is not too late for He Xi to make amends to the old general, anyway, there is the support of the prince.

He Xi has room to do a lot of things.

Even if Tang Shengzong doesn't give He Xi face, he has to give face to the prince.

It's just that He Xi didn't expect that this thing would really evolve step by step into what it is today. He Xi was waiting outside Hangzhou for Tang Shengzong. Tang Shengzong did not disappoint He Xi either. Even if he only brought more than 100 personal guards, as soon as he showed up, he seized the military power of Hangzhou City.

This is the prestige of the founding generals, and perhaps the reason why Zhu Yuanzhang is jealous.

As soon as Tang Shengzong appeared. The whole situation is doomed.

Guo Huan's face couldn't hold back any longer, and he heard a voice outside. His face was pale without a trace of blood. He knew he was going to die. He turned his head to look at He Xi and shouted hysterically: "Come on, kill him, kill him." ”

The whole person is like crazy.

Wang Qianli sighed, the long knife was unsheathed, and the whole person blocked in front of He Xi. His face was resolute, and his lips were going to bite and bleed. It seems that Wang Qianli is ready to sacrifice his life to protect He Xizhou.

Guo Huan's manpower was slow to react one by one. Although the swords and guns were unsheathed, no one was ready to come out.

He Xi was stunned for a moment, and immediately seized the opportunity.

Although Wang Qianli is a guard in the East Palace, what kind of ability he has, He Xi doesn't know. But he knows one thing, with Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, the loyalty of the officials who can serve in the East Palace is reliable. It's like Wang Qianli, he doesn't think about himself, he also thinks about his family. Now that he has died in battle, the East Palace will definitely take care of the family. But if he survives today, He Xi is dead. Not to mention that he himself will not be able to live, his family will also be implicated.

Therefore, Wang Qianli not only dared to work hard, but even had a feeling of begging for death. After all, the ratio of friend to foe is too much, there are dozens of people on the other side, and he is alone. It is estimated that he can't protect He Xi, what he has to do is to die in battle before He Xi dies. So that he will be innocent.

But Guo Huan doesn't look at the crowd on his side. But in reality, it doesn't work at all.

It's not that these people are bad at martial arts. It's that all Guo Huan can give them is money. But what is going on outside, they have all felt it. It's easy to kill He Xi, and they won't have a way to live. Especially when this kind of defeated army, everyone obeys Guo Huan's orders with will. But in my heart, I am afraid that I care more about my own life.

He Xi saw this clearly, and immediately said: "I am the secretary of the Ming Dynasty. On the orders of His Majesty, Guo Huan's corruption and desecration were investigated. Otherwise, when the soldiers enter, you will know what will happen. ”

Guo Huan said frantically: "Kill He Xi, reward 10,000 taels of gold." Wherever you go, you will be rich. ”

"Gold is good, but it is only possible if it has a flower." Suddenly, a person said, "Lord He, what you said counts. ”

He Xi said: "A gentleman's word, the horse is difficult to chase." ”

"Okay." This person suddenly reversed the long knife, put the long knife on Guo Huan's neck, and said, "Lord Guo, Zhang can't help it." Thank you Lord Guo for taking care of her over the years, but Zhang still has to think about his brothers. ”

Guo Huan looked at the long knife on his neck, and the whole person suddenly became decadent, sneered twice, and didn't want to speak.

At this time, there was the sound of eager footsteps outside the door. There was already the sound of armor scabbards colliding, and He Xi knew that it was the soldiers outside who came in. He suddenly let out a sigh of relief, feeling that today was too Meng Lang. No matter what, you can't gamble with your own life.

Still, it won.

It's a good feeling.

Fighting with people is endlessly fun.
