To Jinyi Weihu Guang walk, it is necessary to identify the authenticity of the waist card.

Huang Yanzhong nodded after seeing the waist card, and then said to Gu Shilong: "I have arranged four people in Changsha City, and the news has been cut off for more than a month. ”

Gu Shilong understood what he meant—he only sent a waist card.

Maybe he was caught in the city, maybe there was fraud.

Gu Shilong only stared at the envoy who came out of the city to ask for surrender: "What position do you hold in Changsha Weizhong?" ”

“…… The sin will only be the general flag officer of Weizhong, whose humble name is Feng Sanhu. ”

"Who is the head of the city now?"

"The original commander Jin Xianghong."

Gu Shilong looked at the name on the surrender letter, closed it and said indifferently: "Since the rebellion is the first, and the imperial army is besieging the city behind, if you want to surrender, then the city gate should be opened, and all the officers and soldiers will go out of the city, abandon the armor and kneel to welcome the king, and wait for the court to deal with it." What is said above is controlled by Tang Peiyu, Ben Hou doesn't believe it, and he doesn't talk about conditions. You go back and tell Jin Xianghong that he has also met Ben Hou twice, and he knows Ben Hou's temper. How to choose, give you half an hour's work. ”

After this Feng Sanhu was escorted out, Gu Shilong said to Huang Yanzhong: "There is such a change in Changsha City, and my army has only entered the city in two or three days. Please Huang Xing hurry to the Shenji Camp and confirm with General Ji what the rebel generals who went out of the city to rob the camp look like today, and see if Tang Peiyu is really no longer in Changsha City. Si Cong is also over there, and then he has to bother Huang to dispatch Jinyi Wei's manpower to investigate the front line of Xiangtan and Hengzhou, and be sure to keep an eye on the defeated rebel army. ”

Huang Yanzhong knew Tang Peiyu, and when he heard that he hugged his fists and took his life, he began to gallop to the south.

When Huang Yanzhong also left, someone spoke: "Master Hou, don't you really take Yangmei Mountain into Beijing first?" ”

Gu Shilong had a calm face: "The city has not been taken, and the people have not been captured, what is the use of Your Majesty wanting this good news?" ”

After that, he had no intention of eating, and went straight to the front of the camp and looked at the city gate not far away.

If you rebel first and then surrender, you will have a way to live, what will this make some people in other provinces think? If you don't give a way to live, although the morale of this Changsha city has been drained and there are not many soldiers, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack after all.

What's more, if the city is devastated by the war, and the Changsha Mansion is full of complaints due to the continuous rebellion, the danger of the disaster victims and displaced people is also very great.

I hope that if the four brocade-clothed captains in the city are still there, they can understand what Gu Shilong needs now.

In Changsha City, Jin Xianghong couldn't help but stand up after hearing Feng Sanhu's return: "Half an hour? ”

"It's been more than two moments." Feng Sanhu asked anxiously, "General, what should I do?" ”

Jin Xianghong was the former commander of Changsha Wei, so he naturally couldn't be held hostage by Tang Peiyu. It's just that in today's battle of Yangmei Mountain, half of the elite soldiers in the city have gone, and Tang Peiyu himself has fled to the south in defeat, how can this Changsha City be defended?

"I've already captured the rebel Zhu Jianjun, Fu Rongzhong and others, can't the Hou Ye still believe me?" Jin Xianghong asked Xiao Kai, the captain of Jinyi, who came forward to contact him and persuade him to surrender.

"I have long persuaded Jin Yanshi to tie up Zhu Jianjun and others, and Kaicheng to surrender, Jin Baishi has to use my waist card to send an envoy to negotiate conditions. The rebellion is true, the documents have been sent, does Jin Yanshi think it's child's play? "Xiao Kai is actually being guarded now, he just came forward boldly.

Jin Xianghong's face was ugly.

His official position was already very high before, if he couldn't open the net, how could he leave this life?

Nowadays, the ordinary soldiers, small flag officers, chief flag officers, and even hundreds of households can be said to be involuntarily, but more than 1,000 deputy households, none of them can stay out of the matter.

What should I do if I can't hold it and can't hold it, and if I drop and get killed?

"General, what should I do?" Feng Sanhu urged him.

Xiao Kai stared at him and said, "If you don't have an idea, please hold back and listen to me." ”

Jin Xianghong was silent for a moment and then waved his hand, and when there were only two people left in the room, he asked, "What do you have in mind?" ”

"To tell you the truth, Jinyiwei is in the city, but I'm not the only one. If a great war breaks out, you won't be able to keep all the doors open. ”

Jin Xianghong's face changed, and he stared at him.

"If you resist stubbornly, the clan will be punished. If you and a few people above the fifth grade can shoulder the blame, and let the rest of the generals of Changsha Wei escort the rebel king out of the city and surrender, they will offset their merits and demerits, and at most they will be guilty of the crime. ”

"When the message was sent, there were many brothers who didn't even know it! It's just that it's already a rebel, what can you do? Jin Xianghong said indignantly.

"But you Jin Xianghong know, otherwise before Tang Peiyu left the city, why would he want you to lead the defenders in the city?" Xiao Kai was unceremoniously, "Don't worry, I said let you bear the blame, not to die." ”

“…… What do you mean by that? ”

Xiao Kai stared at him and said, "Self-immolation." You go with me, from now on incognito, I will explain to the walk, and in the future, you will all go to the factory and go to Nanyang! ”

Jin Xianghong didn't expect such a proposal.

“…… Outside the factory? Down to the South Seas? He gritted his teeth, "How do you have such ability?" ”

"The sooner the rebellion is put down, the better, and if you don't resist, it's a success; Catch the rebel first, voluntarily ambush last, and leave a bloody book, which can protect the family. In Daming, you must be ambushed! As long as this result gets out, why does Your Majesty have to really kill you? In Nanyang, he made meritorious contributions, and the foreign inspection factory is short of people! ”

Not everyone is willing to go to Nanyang, but the people in the Jinyiwei walking system know that His Majesty has set up internal and external factories, and what will be the future ambitions.

Jin Xianghong only asked, "How can I trust you?" ”

Xiao Kai replied in a cold tone: "Do you still have a choice?" ”

Jin Xianghong was silent.

More than a quarter of an hour later, a fire was lit in Changsha City, and then in the north corner of the east of the city, Feng Sanhu and others looked at the fireworks in the southwest with tears in their eyes.

What they heard was a rhetoric from Jin Xianghong.

Now I cry, not because I believe it or not, but because I still have an uncertain fate after leaving the city.

Glancing at Zhu Jianjun and the others in front of him, who were cloaked and tied up with five flowers, Feng Sanhu spat hatefully, and then shouted: "Open the city gate!" ”

From the raising of the flag of rebellion on July 23 to the surrender of Changsha City on the night of August 27, and the capture of Zhu Jianjun and Fu Rongzhong, a total of more than a month passed.

Under the protection of his own soldiers, Gu Shilong, surrounded by the rest of the army, surrounded the more than 3,000 people who knelt there after leaving the city.

Zhu Jianjun lost the hesitation and ambition of a month ago and the high spirits when he killed Wang Bangrui and others to sacrifice the flag, and when Jin Xianghong led people to break into the palace, he found that his influence on Changsha was limited to Tang Peiyu. And Tang Peiyu, I'm afraid he just needs his flag.

Gu Shilong just glanced at him indifferently, and after glancing around, he asked, "What about Jin Xianghong?" ”

“…… A total of five people, including the Marquis, Jin Zhishi and more than 1,000 households, all knew that their sins were unforgivable, and they had left a blood letter in the city, pleaded their feelings, and committed suicide. Capture the rebel king to surrender to sincerity, and make a decision to do things with real money. We are really helpless to take the officers and soldiers of the Wang Division into rebels. ”

One of the deputy Qianhu present now said it sincerely—for him, it was like this.

Gu Shilong was looking everywhere again: "Where is Xiao Kai?" ”

"Captain Xiao is not a rebel, so he welcomed the marquis into the city at the city gate."

Gu Shilong looked in the direction of the city gate: "First take it to the Weiyang Guard Camp to watch it." ”

After saying that, he patted the horse to the outside of the city gate, and Xiao Kai stepped forward to salute: "Jinyi Weihu Guang walked Xiao Kai under his command, see Hou Ye." Hou Ye quelled the rebellion quickly, and his achievements were unparalleled. ”

Gu Shilong frowned: "Jin Xianghong, did they really commit suicide?" ”

Xiao Kai nodded: "The blood book is here." ”

Gu Shilong looked at the "blood book" at this city gate, which was nothing more than the fact that Tang Peiyu and Zhu Jianjun had conspired to capture many officials in Changsha Mansion who were unwilling to rebel, and Changsha Wei's rebellion had become a fact. If the army arrived today, in order to avoid the misery of Changsha Mansion, it surrendered after Tang Peiyu was defeated and fled. They knew that although they were coerced, they failed to revolt and capture the rebels at the beginning, which is also an unforgivable sin. committed suicide, but I hope that Your Majesty will open the grace of heaven and save the clan from being punished.

“…… Master Hou, how to write good news? ”

Gu Shilong glanced at Xiao Kai deeply: "Huang Xing said, in addition to you, there are three Jinyi captains in the city, where are they?" ”

"Master Hou forgives the sins. If it weren't for the military situation, neither the lowly nor the walking adults should let people know their identities. After this time, the lowly and walking adults must have been sent separately. ”

Gu Shilong turned around and said: "Send this blood book, the anti-king treasure seal, etc. to Beijing along with the good news, which also states that Jinyi Wei is commanded from Luo to Captain Xiao, and there is also the role of the Shenji Battalion in the battle of Yangmei Mountain in conquering Changsha. Please ask Your Majesty, Tang Peiyu fled south, Pu Zitong and Zhan Huabi have not yet been captured, Ben Hou took a short rest in Changsha City, and then went south to Hengzhou Mansion in a few days. ”

……

Zhu Jianjun is not the main owner of the rebel text, he put King Rui in the first place.

For Gu Shilong, the symbolic significance of overcoming Changsha is greater than the practical significance - what can be called the real result is that Changsha Wei was defeated nearly 1,000 elites in the battle of Yangmei Mountain.

But Tang Peiyu escaped, and Pu Zitong and Zhan Huabi were still alive.

He, the general soldier of Huguang, stayed in Huguang for several years, and as a result, there were a total of three guards who rebelled, and Gu Shilong couldn't afford this credit.

Even if the rebellion is completely suppressed, it will not be worth it.

But His Majesty needs to let the world see the power of Jinyiwei and Xinjingying.

Lubu Feijie, from Changsha to Beijing, arrived in seven days.

On the fourth day of the ninth lunar month, there was no court meeting, and Zhu Houxi was accompanying Zhu Zaiyun and Zhu Zaiji's two sons.

One of them is almost two years old, and the other is only half a year old.

The reason for accompanying them is because the end of the month is Halloween. These two princes will also be present at that time and see many fresh faces.

If the prince is healthy, decent, and intelligent, it will be especially reassuring for the courtiers who follow Zhu Houxi in this dispute between the old and the new.

Sun Ming and Lin Qingping were there, watching Zhu Houxi let Zhu Zaiyun play with the toys that Zhu Zaiyun had played.

And Zhu Zaiyun had a lot of fun on both sides of the Huagai Palace, relying on the newly built "slide" of the cloud platform.

This was naturally Zhu Houxi's request, and he gave the approximate meaning, and then the craftsmen used wood to plane such a "large toy".

"Your Majesty, how can you be so unstable in front of the vassal kings, lords and ministers?" Sun Ming asked worriedly, "I should teach them some etiquette." ”

Zhu Houxi smiled and fiddled with the geometric wooden block wrapped in colored cloth hanging on the cradle: "It's just a child, why do you know how to be knowledgeable?" There should be rules, Zai Yu knows. ”

The rebellion in the south did not affect the progress of many affairs in the city of Beijing, but Sun Ming was actually worried about her father and the war in Huguang.

As soon as this incident came out, her father, the Marquis of Jing'an, was too late to enter Beijing. Zhu Houxi also made a decree, promising a few honorable relatives to enter the city without entering Beijing to congratulate and quell the rebellion in the local area.

Someone rebelled, and most of the relatives left their posts temporarily, which was also an opportunity for local unknighted generals to make meritorious contributions.

Zhu Houxi, who has been sitting on the throne for more than three years, has become accustomed to calming down, after all, strategically he does not think about local rebellions, and has paid full attention to tactics. As the emperor, he only had to sit in the capital and wait for the news to come, whether it was good or bad.

Now, when Zhu Zaiyu played for a while and took the initiative to run over to say that the recess was over, Zhang Zuo hurried to the Huagai Palace.

"Your Majesty! Huguang reported that the Marquis of Zhenyuan had conquered Changsha City and captured the rebel king Jianjun and the rebel Fu Rongzhong! ”

Sun Ming and Lin Qingping's faces were full of joy, but Zhu Houxi didn't have much joy, but said to Zhu Zaiyu: "Father has something, let Aunt Xian teach you in today's literacy class." ”

After saying that, he stood up, and glanced back at the Huagai Hall on the way to the Heart Cultivation Palace.

When everything is dealt with this year, it is time to start sowing seeds again, and Wen Suyun and the concubines are also eighteen or nineteen years old.

In the future, the vassal kings will not leave Beijing, and the young sons of the clan and the relatives will be able to come to this "Huagai Kindergarten" to go to school.

I guess they'll be happy.

When they arrived at the Yangxin Palace, Yang Tinghe and Cui Yuan, who had arrived after hearing the inquiry, were all overjoyed, and congratulated Zhu Houxi after seeing him.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty for your planning, Jing'an Hou and Zhenyuan Hou have a good plan, Jinyiwei and Shenji Battalion are brave and strategic, the traitor has captured one of them, and all the traitors are just around the corner!"

Zhu Houxi just nodded first and looked at the good news.

When he saw the back, he added: "There are also professors, worshippers, military warfare bureaus, and ordnance supervisors in the Huangming University." The battle to make cleaner glass, to improve iron-smelting and casting processes, and to practice new tactics all illustrates the importance of these things. ”

Yang Tinghe and Cui Yuan still subconsciously ignored these details.

There are some details of the battle of Yangmeishan in the good news, but in their opinion, it is more of a plan set up by Gu Shilong.

If the rebels in the city do not go out of the city to rob the "tired army", then Gu Shilong will attract the main force in the east and north of the city, and the tiger squat cannon carried by the Shenji battalion and the Wuchangwei who sneaked to the southeast will give the defenders in the south of the city a surprise.

If the rebels in the city left the city, it would be the result of setting up an ambush to defeat many elite soldiers and winning the first battle to boost morale.

In the first war, Tang Peiyu was beaten away, and the captain of Jinyi Wei Huguang who was lurking in the city made meritorious contributions again, and persuaded the city guards to open the city and surrender, which can indeed be called the emperor's plan before he was calculated.

Zhu Houxi said that the telescope, the tiger squat cannon, the grenade and the new tactics worked.

Yang Tinghe reacted: "What Your Majesty said is that the Physics Avenue is infinitely mysterious and extremely useful, and this battle is proof of this. ”

Yan Sheng's justice is being investigated, Zhang Fujing has already said in the Confucian Temple that the emperor is the successor of the mantle of the ancestors, and His Majesty has shown more and more obviously that he attaches special importance to the way of physics in the theory of the three principles of heaven, matter, and man.

After Zhu Houxi put down the good news, he said: "The merits of everyone, let the military department discuss it first." This time, the work should be fast. As for the next step, there is no hurry. ”

“…… Not in a hurry? Cui Yuan was a little confused.

Zhu Houxi nodded: "King Rui is young, so he was naturally used." I am not dim, how can I not distinguish between right and wrong? The rebels are actually Zhu Jianjun, Fu Rongzhong, Tang Peiyu, Pu Zitong and others, even if there are other accomplices, they will never be King Rui. Now there are two things, one is to rescue King Rui and his sister-in-law, and the other is to slowly quell the rebellion in order to suppress the training of soldiers. Don't they want the war to drag on? Then drag it out. ”

Yang Tinghe looked at Zhu Houxi with some confusion.

To suppress the training of soldiers?

"At the junction of Hunan, Guangdong, Jiangxi and Fujian, there are many mountains, narrow land and few people. Surround them in some mountainous areas, and let them go as bandits. This time, the two feudal domains of Changsha Mansion and Jianchang Mansion are going to be removed, and the two feudal domains will be divided into good fields first, and the people in the border area of Hunan, Guangdong, Jiangxi and Fujian can mobilize and relocate. When the war is coming, they must also avoid it. As for the rebels, they always have to be eaten and chewed. Surround and slow down, let them open up wasteland, build roads, and grow grain there. ”

Yang Tinghe only thinks: Can there still be such an operation?

What emperor would sit idly by and watch such a gang of separatist "bandits" exist in his territory for a long time?

They didn't know what Zhu Houxi was in his stomach, and after turning his head, he tasted something.

After all, the five years of Jiajing have not yet arrived, and when the new law is implemented in the provinces, the name of this rebel army is ...... It seems that it can be used all the time, so why put down the rebellion so quickly?

It's just that if the war drags on, if we can really block this group of people on the mountain for a long time and not rush down the mountain to cause trouble to any prefecture or county, the food supply and transportation difficulties required will not be half a star.

After raising this question, Zhu Houxi replied: "Military needs are also a driving force for the operation of money and grain. With this scourge, Huguang, Jiangxi, Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong, and even Nanzhili and Sichuan all have opportunities to make contributions. This time, the local guard station rebelled first, and those who wanted to make meritorious contributions would go to suppress the bandits. Those who are still staring at the blood of the soldiers and the military cantonment, then weigh the strength and weakness of the garrison battalions in the provinces after training with the bandits. ”

“…… Provincial garrison battalions? ”

"Dispatch elite soldiers, use the system of recruitment, and learn the new tactics of the Beijing battalion. When the provincial garrison battalions are first formed, the old system of local military cantonments should be moved. Zhu Houxi said calmly, "The grand strategy is like this, and the most important thing now is to rescue the mother and son of King Rui, wait for the opportunity to capture the bandit leader, and the other is to surround the rebels to the Wuyi Mountains east of the Hunan Waterway from Guangdong to the junction of Jiangxi and Fujian." When these two things are done, everything is decided. ”

"The Rescue......

Zhu Houxi looked at Cui Yuan: "I have already given Luo An an order, and this matter will be handed over to him." ”

Changsha Wei is so unbearable, how strong can Chang Dewei and Hengzhou Wei be?

Zhu Houxi wants to use it to make an example of chickens and monkeys, but they are just some people who are the leaders. Along with the good news, there was also a secret report from Jin Yiwei about the handling of Jin Xianghong and others, and Zhu Houxi felt that this was the best use of things.

Luo An's future provincial special service teams that were ordered by him and trained under his guidance will be able to perform a decapitation operation this time under the accumulation of information from the various provinces of Jinyiwei and the cicada owners of the inner factories, it depends on Luo An's ability.

If it doesn't succeed, it's a grand strategy of slow encirclement and suppression.

If the erodive local guard center in the south can't train some elite soldiers, who will be used to recover Jiaozhi in the future?
