Yes?

After seeing Yang Kang killed by the sudden firecracker, everyone present was stunned, and even Qi Qi looked in the direction of the sound.

But he saw a young eunuch in brocade sitting on horseback, it was a fair and handsome face, thin lips slightly raised, and he seemed very satisfied with what was happening in front of him.

"Kill this eunuch, we have to avenge Commander Yang!" The Qianhu next to him saw that Yang Kang was killed, and ordered angrily.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

A well-trained team with a modified version of the Three-Eyed Musket has stepped forward to light the arquebus and shoot at the point of fire in the face of the rebels who might be charging at them.

As if they didn't need an order, or they themselves yearned for killing, and the merciless buckshot roared towards the Yangzhou guards who tried to come over.

Burst! Burst! Burst!

Yangzhou Wei has long been in the habit of armor piercing, and when facing the oncoming lead bullet, he has no way to avoid it, and he immediately fell to the ground after being shot.

The blood soon stained the ground where they were, and the Yangzhou guards who fell to the ground were wailing in pain, and the scene was very miserable.

"The miscellaneous family is Wang Zhi, the eunuch of the Nanjing garrison, if you dare to follow the thief, according to the law, the three clans!" Wang Zhi faced this group of Yangzhou guards who tried to ignore the imperial power, and he looked calm and calm.

The voice was as sharp as that of many eunuchs, but with tenderness and determination, this person was like a ruthless killing machine with some feelings.

Just now, it was just that Qianhu roared, and no matter what choice those hesitant Yangzhou guards made, he had already shot on his side, which seemed decisive and domineering.

This......

The soldiers present were stunned by the round of strafing just now, and now they learned that the other party was the famous Wang Zhi, and they couldn't help but look at each other.

Although the West Factory has been withdrawn for many years, and Wang Zhi has disappeared from the court for a long time, who lives in this era, who doesn't know the prestige of Wang Zhi, the governor of the West Factory?

At the beginning, the West Factory was first established, and "Sanyang" was already a model of the civil official group and a model of literati, but they did not know that the Yang family, who had been in Fujian for most of their lives, had already become a cancer.

Yang Rong's grandson Yang Tai and great-grandson Yang Ye relied on Yang Rong's glory to brutalize the people and kill innocents indiscriminately in the local area, resulting in dozens of deaths, and the people had no way to surrender.

Wang Zhi learned about this, and later learned that Yang Ye and Jin came to Beijing to investigate officials to deceive the matter, and immediately ordered Yang Ye and relevant insiders to be arrested and tortured at the West Gate, and finally obtained the facts of the Yang family's crime.

After receiving the confession submitted by Wang Zhi, Emperor Chenghua ordered the house to be raided, even if he was faced with the Yang Rong family, one of the famous Three Yangs, and beheaded Yang Tai, the grandson of Yang Rong, who had committed many crimes.

Although Wang Zhi only did a thing to punish rape and eliminate evil, because the object of the treatment was the family of Yang Rong, a model civil official, Wang Zhi's reputation was stinky and hot, and he became the most hated eunuch of the civil official group.

It's just that no matter how everyone thinks of Wang Zhi, whether he is loyal or traitorous, judging from what Wang Zhi has done before, he is indeed worthy of the name of "Wang Ruthless".

Now the vigorous and resolute style of acting, if it is not Wang ruthless and Wang Zhi, who else can it be?

When the Qianhu saw his subordinates wavering, he immediately questioned: "I see that you are clearly with them, so don't swagger here......"

Bang!

There was another bang, and a soldier next to Wang Zhi holding a smoking three-eyed gun looked expressionless and held the gun.

Burst!

Before the words of Qianhu were finished just now, when they were shot and fell to the ground, because they hit the vital point, the whole person made a final struggle in the blood that flowed and he swallowed.

Wang Zhi looked at Qianhu in a pool of blood, as if he saw a dead dog, and slowly looked at the Yangzhou guards holding weapons in his hands, with a faint smile in his eyes.

"Surrender!"

"I surrender!"

"Please forgive your father-in-law!"

……

An inexplicable fear swelled up in the hearts of all the soldiers, and they immediately dropped the weapons in their hands and did not dare to resist anymore, and they all knelt down and pleaded with this ruthless man who killed decisively.

"That's it, arrest a few people with military positions for interrogation, and find Yang Kang's comrades for punishment!" Wang Zhi looked at the Yangzhou guards who were kneeling on the ground, and shook his head with some disappointment.

thought that he could take the opportunity to practice his Shenji battalion, but in the end, he overestimated this Yangzhou guard, and he surrendered before the official confrontation.

The two commanders next to him immediately surrendered, and then began to clear the weapons of the thousand-strong army, and at the same time arrested all the officers who were close to Yang Kang.

The Qincha Guards led by Lu Song couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but when they saw Wang Zhi solving Yang Kang so vigorously, they couldn't help but admit that this was indeed a ruthless person.

Although their identities are noble, Wang Zhi has just revealed his identity, which can probably deter Yang Kang, but how can Wang Zhi's approach come happily, and the imperial power must be maintained with blood.

If everyone is like Wang Zhi and shows their swords and guns without saying a word, then there will not be so many people in the world who ignore the imperial power, and these two capitals and thirteen provinces can truly become the land of kings.

"It's over!"

"How so?"

"This time it's really over!"

……

Li Zhiqing and the others just saw the hope of getting out, but they didn't expect Wang Zhi to appear with his troops, and he quickly solved Yang Kang, and suddenly muttered like a dead heart.

Yang Kang can be said to be their last trump card, after all, in the end, it is still the fists that speak.

It's just that who would have thought that Wang Zhi would personally lead troops from Nanjing and get rid of Yang Kang even more resolutely.

Their so-called hole cards are powerless, and they even end up worse than them.

Wang Yue saw Wang Zhi coming towards him, and he also smiled slightly and arched his hand: "Father-in-law Wang, I haven't seen you for many years, you still haven't changed at all, and your demeanor is still the same!" ”

Unlike those Wenchen who rejected eunuchs, he did not have much prejudice against the eunuch group, and even admired this assertive eunuch Wang Zhi very much.

In those days, not to mention those important ministers who were greedy for life and afraid of death, even if Yu Zijun, the secretary of the military department at the time, strongly opposed it. Fortunately, with the support of Wang Zhi, Wang Zhi served as the supervisor and himself as the commander, and finally led the elite cavalry to attack Weininghai overnight.

It is said in the world that the surprise attack on Weininghai is his own credit, but Wang Zhi also contributed to that battle, if it were not for Wang Zhi's support, he would not have the opportunity to lead the troops to the battle at all.

"Prince, you haven't changed, the good Qin Cha plays like a marching war, it's really a clever plan after a clever plan!" Wang Zhi saw this old friend, and responded with a smile.

Wang Yue thought that he had just been almost recognized by Li Zhiqing as Yang, so he touched his nose in embarrassment and said: "The water in Yangzhou is too deep, if I come directly with the identity of Qincha, I am afraid that all I see are Qing officials who are worried about the country and the people, not a nest of snakes and rats!" ”

"That's right! Back then, it was said that after the Yang family was a virtuous minister, it must be a scholarly family with a strict family style, and I was stunned to believe that the descendants of the Yang family had mutilated the lives of dozens of people! Each of these scholars can say a bunch of big truths, and what kind of official they meet can become what kind of official, but behind the scenes, they are actually reluctant. Wang Zhi seemed to have seen through it, and looked at Li Zhiqing and the others and couldn't help but fall into the road.

Li Zhiqing, Yang Mingyuan, and Zhang Zhushan knew that their true colors had been revealed, but they knew that it was useless to justify, so they silently lowered their heads.

Zhang Zhushan originally thought that his reputation as an iron-faced imperial history could save him, but when he saw Wang Yue's disgusted eyes, he knew that he would not be able to escape this catastrophe.

Wang Yue and Wang Zhi have a special relationship, so they sent out an invitation: "I haven't seen you for many years, let's talk tonight!" ”

If Wang Zhi hadn't been forced away by the civil officials in collusion with the internal supervision back then, he would have been wronged as a poet and resentful, and Wang Zhi would definitely have spoken for him, and would not have ended up in the dilemma of no one in the court to avenge his grievances.

"Very good!" Wang Zhi also admired Wang Yue's talent and responsibility, so he nodded gently.

At dusk, Yangzhou City was paved with a faint golden light.

"Did you hear that? Li Zhiqing was arrested! ”

"Not only Li Zhiqing, there are more than twenty officials locked up inside!"

"My good man, how many officials are there in our Yangzhou City? It's going to catch them all! ”

"It's just to catch them all, these officials are not only greedy for ink, but they don't know how many illegal things they have done!"

……

When the people of Yangzhou City learned that Li Zhiqing and more than 20 other officials, large and small, had been sent to prison, they did not have the slightest of the same, but applauded one after another.

Strictly speaking, Yang Zhiqing and these people are greedy for the money of the imperial court, and the local people should not hate it.

However, these people relied on their money to buy houses and land everywhere, and thus began to squeeze out the means of production of ordinary people, and even ordinary people had nowhere to sue when they went to the government to justify themselves.

But now everything has changed, those who were originally in Yangzhou City to show off their might, now all of them are in prison, and it is Qincha Wang Yue who does these things.

"This time it fell into the hands of Wang Yue, I'm afraid that those people will all lose their heads!"

"It's hard to say about this matter, there are too many people involved, maybe someone above is guaranteed!"

"It's the same way, Li Zhiqing has been able to enjoy the scenery in Yangzhou for so many years, and there must be a big backer in the DPRK!"

……

Although they all know that it was Wang Yue who brought Li Zhiqing and others to justice this time, many people still don't believe Wang Yue, but are worried that Li Zhiqing will be protected by the backers behind him.

They live in an era ruled by civil officials, and the relationship between these civil officials is complicated, and when things come to the top, Li Zhiqing may be rescued by the backers behind them.

Although Zhu Youzhu wanted to change this era, and Wang Yue also wanted to eliminate evil for the people, this era was controlled by the civilian clique for too long.

Like the Yang family back then, if it weren't for Zhu Jianshen's casual action, if it wasn't for Wang Zhi arresting Yang Rong's great-grandson Yang Ye and torture him, things might be like the Songjiang Xu family in the back was saved by the important ministers of the court.

When night fell, the lights on both sides of the Xiaoqinhuai River were bright, but the noise was obviously lowered by a notch.

It is not only Li Zhiqing and other officials who were arrested today, but also the salt merchants who participated in the subscription of salt quotations on the ship were all imprisoned, and these people can also be regarded as tigers.

As for the silver taels they deposited in Jiangdu Qianshi, they had been seized by Zhang Cai as soon as possible, and the silver taels of snowflakes there would be returned to the national treasury.

Affected by the arrest of a large number of salt merchants, tonight's Qinglou was naturally greatly affected.

Inviting the eunuch to the Qinglou was probably only done by Wang Yue, but Wang Yue was no wonder about this matter, but Wang Zhi took the initiative to come to Yangzhou Mengqinglou to take a look.

Unlike those eunuchs who have lost their interest, Wang Zhi likes to dance very much.

Due to the arrival of the two big figures, others naturally avoided it, and there were only two people drinking in the hall of Nuoda, and there was a wonderful dance performance on the stage.

Wang Zhi picked up his wine glass and looked at the performance on the stage, but suddenly said: "Prince, you have been scheming this time, and you have not hesitated to risk to get on the boat, I'm afraid you have already gained something, right?" ”

"Yangzhou's non-commissioned officers can be killed!" Wang Yue thought of the situation on the ship, and his eyes flashed with a fierce expression.

Wang Zhi stopped the wine glass that was brought to his mouth, but said expectantly: "In this case, the miscellaneous family wants to stay and take a look at the prestige of your king's beheading, and this beheading miscellaneous family must join in this fun!" ”

"I can't ask for it!" Wang Yue has already regarded Wang Zhi as an old friend, which means that he welcomes him.

Wang Zhi took a sip of wine, but expressed his worries: "It's just that you really want to cut off this knife, and the resistance is no less than when I wanted to cut Yang Rong's grandson!" ”

"Father-in-law Wang, why do you say this?" Wang Yue's brows frowned slightly, even if he was confused.

Wang Zhi poured the remaining wine from the glass on the table, and then dipped his finger in the wine and wrote a word.

After Wang Yue saw it, he couldn't help but sigh secretly.

Wang Zhi took out a silk handkerchief from his sleeve, wiped his fingers and said: "If I were you, I would have a treasure sword in my hand, and now I will be a hundred if I cut it, otherwise I am afraid that I will have a long night and a lot of dreams!" ”

"There are too many people this time! And His Majesty's resourcefulness is not weaker than that of the previous emperor, and now that the fact that these officials stole salt profits has been conclusively proven, I don't think anyone will really be forgiven! Wang Yue picked up his wine glass, and then said sharply: "I have seen the military appearance of the Shenji Battalion of the Nanjing Battalion, but now it is indeed reborn, and your three-eyed gun seems to be even more powerful!" ”

"It is not an idle job for the miscellaneous family to stay in Nanjing as a garrison eunuch, and Your Majesty also has high hopes for the miscellaneous family!" Wang Zhi put the silk handkerchief back in his sleeve, which was a serious and authentic way.

Wang Yue also stopped the wine brought to his mouth, and said curiously: "Your Majesty has special instructions?" ”

"Drill the Nanjing Shenji Battalion, build the first firearms army of the Ming Dynasty, and develop firearms called flintlock pistols!" Wang Zhi met Wang Yue's gaze, and even revealed.

After the emperor recalled him to the capital, since the matter of the 12th battalion had been resolved, after soliciting his own ideas, he appointed himself as the eunuch to garrison Nanjing.

Different from the city of Beijing, the Nanjing Beijing camp is mainly responsible for training the officers and soldiers of the Nanjing Zhuwei Institute in large and small teaching fields, which are mobile soldiers, but Nanjing also retains the Shenji battalion left over from the Taizu period.

It is with the emperor's secret financial and ordnance support that the Nanjing Shenji Battalion can be reborn and is working in the direction of the first firearms army of the Ming Dynasty.
