The predecessor of the Pro-Army Governor's Mansion was the Gongwei Division, which was established in the first year of Wu and was originally subordinate to the Dadu Governor's Mansion, which was responsible for the protection and honor of the Janissary Guard.

In the third year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang made it independent and changed it to the pro-military governor's mansion, responsible for the palace guards and the honor guard when the royal travel.

In layman's terms, it is the work of the Ouchi guards.

Therefore, its officers and soldiers must not only be tall and long-legged, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and strong in martial arts, but most importantly, they must also be absolutely loyal.

There are roughly two of its soldiers, one is the children of the soldiers who sacrificed in the process of fighting for Zhu Yuanzhang. These orphans were raised by Zhu Yuanzhang since childhood, and there is absolutely no doubt about their loyalty.

The second is the children of those noble and high-ranking military generals. It has been a tradition since ancient times that the children of meritorious heroes serve as honor guards, and there are many benefits, so there is no need to repeat them.

But there is also a downside, that is, it is not as simple and reliable as the former......

~~

With the sharp sound of the brass whistle, the tall guards poured into the school field from all directions.

In less than 20 breaths, 400 guards and soldiers in the yaya were already neatly draped, carrying swords and crossbows, and lined up neatly on the school ground.

"I am instructed to immediately go to the Deqing Marquis Mansion with the pro-army Governor's Mansion, and you must not harass your family, you must not hide or damage your property, and you must not disclose any internal information about the raid. Right Lieutenant Cao Xiu announced loudly.

"Yes!" The guards responded in unison.

Cao Xiu nodded and said: "Mei Yi, Zhu Xian, you two lead the team, go to Hongwumen to meet the people of the household department, and go to the Deqing Hou Mansion to raid the house!" ”

"Whoa!"

After speaking, he glanced at the other commander and said, "Hood, you stay. ”

"Yes." Hood was a little upset, but he still kept his voice down.

"Remember, this time it's not about raiding, it's about checking! You must bring back everything that has words, and as for the property in the house, it will be registered and sealed by the household department, and you must not be greedy! Cao Xiu repeatedly admonished:

"For the New Year, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty are all watching, don't make trouble for the emperor!"

"Understood!" The subordinates roared in response.

"Let's go." Cao Xiuyi waved his hand.

Under the order of the avant-garde commander Mei Yi, the soldiers turned backwards in unison.

Seeing that the soldiers were divided into two columns and walked out of the Yamen of the Governor's Mansion with neat steps, Cao Xiu's expression was very solemn.

It is said that this kind of thing should be properly led by himself, but he really doesn't want to get involved.

This is the first noble to be raided after the founding of the Ming Dynasty! And it is also the Marquis of Deqing, who has made great contributions and is not under the national government.

Cao Xiu felt that what happened to Liao Yongzhong would definitely cause the death of the Manchu Dynasty minister. They don't dare to throw their faces at the top, and if they don't keep it, they will spill their anger on their heads.

"The emperor doesn't let his son interfere, we can still avoid it, let's avoid it." Cao Xiu said in a low voice. This was said to himself and to Hood on the side.

"Thank you, Captain Cao, for your protection." Hood nodded. But I knew in my heart that the real reason why I didn't let myself participate was because I was Hu Weiyong's nephew.

The emperor is not at ease, for fear that he will make a hindrance......

'Emperor Shengming, I really guessed. Hood smiled meaningfully.

~~

Nanjing City on the second day of the Lunar New Year is still the time when the flavor of the New Year is strong.

There are door gods, spring couplets, peach charms hanging at the door of every house, and the streets are full of colorful and exploding skins. Ordinary people in new clothes are carrying gifts from house to house to visit the New Year.

Suddenly, a rapid gong and shout sounded at the corner of the street:

"Evade evasion!"

The common people hurriedly flashed to the side of the road, and saw an elite army wearing red tasseled iron helmets, wearing blue and green brocade clothes, and stepping on long cowhide boots, trotting towards them, the pace was uniform, and the atmosphere of slaughter penetrated the long street.

"Hey, this seems to be the emperor's personal guards...... "The people in the capital are knowledgeable.

"yes. I've never seen them go out alone, and there are so many people...... "Some people feel that something is not ordinary."

"Isn't there something big?"

"What can happen to the New Year? The yamen still doesn't try the prisoners. ”

The commander of the left guard of the Governor's Mansion made Zhu Xian follow the team on horseback, listening to the gossip of the people absentmindedly, but his mind was full of the situation of last night......

~~

Last night, the elders drank in the palace, and their juniors also gathered in the Song Guogong Mansion to drink New Year's wine.

When he came out to pee, Hood came out too.

The two stood side by side in the thatched hut, shining together.

In the midst of the uproar, he listened to Hood say:

"Did you hear that? Liao Yongzhong was arrested. ”

"When?" Zhu Xian was stunned for a moment and broke the stream.

"Just half an hour ago," said Hood softly, "Uncle asked 1 to sue me." ”

"Oh." Zhu Xian's head was very bright, and he hurriedly asked in a low voice, "What does Hu Xiang command?" ”

"Uncle said that with the emperor's temperament, he will definitely raid the Deqing Marquis Mansion soon, and I will be excluded at that time, and I can only count on you or Deng Zhen."

"Hmm." Zhu Xian nodded, obviously knowing a lot of things.

"If you are asked to raid the house, you will be like this when the time comes, ...... like this," Hood said in a low voice, and said, "Deng Zhen, I will also instruct you." As for Mei Yi, my uncle will find a way to make him turn a blind eye. ”

"What about Tang Ding, he's not easy to buy, right?" Zhu Xian asked again. The pro-army Governor's Mansion has a total of five guards, five guards in the front and back, left, middle and right, and five commanders.

"He's on another business." Hood said lightly.

"What if the two lieutenants lead the team in person?" Zhu Xian is still a little worried.

"No, uncle said, Liu Ying must look at Liao Yongzhong in case he is killed. As for our right lieutenant, you still don't know his current virtue? Hood said confidently.

"Okay." Zhu Xian couldn't think of anything anymore, so he had to nod his head.

~~

Although Hu Xiang had already made arrangements, after all, it was the first time for Zhu Xian to do this kind of thing, and it was inevitable that he would beat the drum in his heart.

He knew that if he exposed his stuffing, the emperor would definitely peel off his skin. Even my father can't keep himself.

glanced at Mei Yi on the side again, and saw that his old god was there, just like a person who had nothing to do, very relaxed.

After thinking about it, he heard Mei Yi say softly: "It's here." ”

"Oh." Zhu Xian hurriedly raised his head.

On the door of the Hou Mansion, the plaque of the royal pen inscribed "Outstanding General, Zhimai Xiongshi" came into view.

It's just that at this time, it seems that the irony is simply full.

Yesterday, the whole house was grounded. At this time, the door of the mansion was closed, and there were officers and soldiers of Yulin Guard guarding the door.

Mei Yi showed the edict to the thousand households guarding the door, and when the officials of the household department also submitted the text of the Chinese book, Yu Linwei opened the door and let them in.

As soon as he entered the house, he was blocked by more than 100 fierce family members armed with knives, guns and sticks.

All the nobles had family members in their homes, as well as honor guards and guards allowed by the imperial court, and the same was true for Mei Yi and Zhu Xian's families.

Oh, forgot to introduce. Mei Yi is the eldest son of Mei Sizu, Marquis of Runan, who was scolded by Marquis Deqing that night, and Zhu Xian is the eldest son of Zhu Liangzu, Marquis of Yongjia.

So this was what they had expected, so Mei Yi read out the edict again, and said politely: "We are also on an errand, brothers, let go." ”

"But we have this!" Liao Yongzhong's eldest son, Liao Quan, showed off an iron coupon the size of a tile with the golden words 'free from death' engraved on it, and said indignantly: "The emperor won't even recognize this, right?!" ”
