Ganzhou has fallen. The Sacred King Shouren is here!

Wang Shouren did not choose to die in the land like Sun Sui, the governor of Jiangxi. He left Ganzhou in a small boat.

He didn't do it out of timidity. King Ning's rebellion must be quelled as soon as possible, so that the people of Jiangnan can suffer a little less crime.

The only person in the entire Jiangnan who has the ability to quell the rebellion as soon as possible is only me, Wang Shouren!

So, I'm going to live!

He took a boat and headed east with ten retinues. The boat sailed on the river all night.

Early the next morning, the retinue walked into his cabin. I found that the ground was full of paper, and on each piece of paper was written four big characters on the back of the paper, "Swear to die to serve the country".

Wang Shouren gathered a group of his entourage in the cabin. He said: "Once the boat arrives, it will dock in Linjiang Mansion." When you come to the shore, run for your life. ”

An elder asked, "What about you, Lord Futai?" ”

Wang Shouren said: "Don't care. ”

Linjiang Mansion is the only way for King Ning's rebels to march towards Yingtian.

The elder followed his first reaction: The main family has just escaped from Ganzhou, why did he go to Linjiang to find death?

The elder reminded: "Futai, you don't have a single soldier in your hands. ”

Wang Shouren stared at the elder and said a deafening sentence that went down in history: "One person is enough." ”

The boat docked at the river on the same day. Wang Shouren's entourage scattered and fled, and became involved in the crowd of fleeing.

The entire Linjiang Mansion is full of ordinary people who are fleeing with their families and mouths. The inside and outside of the city became a pot of porridge.

Wang Shouren changed into a three-grade official uniform and strode into Linjiang City.

He saw a servant in the crowd. The rebels are coming, not to mention the common people, and the yamen who usually show off their military power have also mixed into the fleeing team.

King Ning's rebels were not the Jingnan Yan army of the year. Most of the Jingnan Yan army belonged to the border army. Although military discipline is not flattering, at least it will not engage in large-scale massacres in the style of executioner Genghis Khan.

Most of the rebels of King Ning were ruffians, thieves, and bandits from Jiangxi. Every time these men conquered a city, they killed people when they saw them, robbed things when they saw them, and threw themselves at women when they saw them. It has caused bloody cases in more than a dozen prefectures and counties.

The rebels have a reputation for murderous brutality. It is not surprising that the people of the city and the people fled in all directions.

Wang Shouren grabbed the official and asked, "What about Dai Deru?" ”

Dai Deru is the prefect of Linjiang.

The official looked at Wang Shouren's official uniform and replied: "When I ran out, our Dai Fuzun was in the back office to pack up and prepare to run!" ”

Wang Shouren let go of the government and went straight to the Linjiang Mansion.

At the gate of Linjiang Mansion, more than a dozen people from Dai Deru's family were hurriedly carrying things to the carriage.

The tolerances and the entourage are almost gone. The prefect who is usually pampered can only do it himself.

A concubine shouted: "The three Nanmu boxes that my mother's family married are still in the bedroom. ”

Dai Deru scolded: "My life is almost gone, what's the use of asking for a few broken boxes!" ”

At this moment, a familiar voice sounded in Dai Deru's ears: "Dai Deru! ”

Dai Deru turned his head and saw Wang Shouren.

At this moment, he saw Wang Shouren, like seeing Yunni in a year of great drought.

Yasheng and Soldier Immortal King Shouren are famous in the entire Jiangnan. Four years ago, the large-scale banditry in Jiangxi and Fujian was easily quelled by the king and the sage in just a few months.

Now that Linjiang Mansion is about to fall, Wang Bingxian is here, and Linjiang will be peaceful! Wang Bingxian is here, and the blue sky is there!

Dai Deru walked quickly in front of Wang Shouren, bowed his head and bowed: "Dai Deru, the prefect of Linjiang, has seen Wang Futai." ”

Wang Shouren said: "The situation is critical, so there is no need to be polite. ”

Dade stood up. Wang Shouren looked at the three carriages and the Dai family.

Wang Shouren said: "Find a reliable person and send your family away." You stay in Linjiang and help me put down the rebellion! ”

Dade Ru is actually not a spineless person. It's just that his strength is limited, and fighting desperately with hundreds of thousands of rebels is tantamount to a moth to a fire, so he wants to smear oil on the soles of his feet.

Now that Wang Bingxian is here, his courage has increased by three points: "The lower official is willing to follow Lord Futai to the death!" ”

Dai Deru instructed his eldest son to lead his mother and a group of young ladies to get into the car and flee.

After the family left, Dai Deru asked Wang Shouren: "I don't know how many people Wang Futai brought to Linjiang to quell the rebellion?" ”

Wang Shouren held up a finger.

Dai Deru asked, "Ten thousand?" ”

Dai Deru thought to himself: 10,000 against 100,000 is still a slight disadvantage.

But the sage said that the soldiers are not many but fine. If these 10,000 people are an elite division, it is more than enough to deal with a rebel army composed of 100,000 rabble. You must know that the commander of this 10,000 elite soldiers is Wang Yangming! Wang Yangming!

Wang Shouren shook his head slightly.

The hope that had just been ignited by Dai Deru was extinguished in an instant. He stammered, "One, a thousand?" ”

Wang Shouren continued to shake his head.

Dai Deru's face was as dead as ashes, and he regretted that he had just agreed to follow Wang Shouren: "There shouldn't be only a hundred people, right?" ”

Wang Shouren finally said the real number: "I'm the only one." ”

Dai Deru almost hit his head against the south wall. He smiled bitterly: "Wang Futai, just the two of us, can we put down the rebellion?" ”

Wang Shouren replied: "Yes." ”

Dai Deru asked: "Why are you so sure?" ”

Wang Shouren replied sonorously. This sentence was later recorded in the history books.

"I am here, and the rebellion will be quelled."

For some reason, Dai Deru actually felt the confidence that thousands of troops could not bring from this sentence.

Dai Deru said with a straight face: "Please act under the orders of Lord Futai." ”

Wang Shouren asked: "Is there a garrison in Linjiang?" ”

Dai Deru replied: "There is a thousand households. But it was not subject to the magistrate's control. ”

Wang Shouren pointed to his official uniform. His official uniform was bulging: "I have the king's flag on my body." All the guards in Jiangxi can be mobilized. ”

The Banner of the King's Order is two things. The same is a square flag, the same is a round card. Usually hung on two spears.

This thing is equivalent to the combination of Shang Fang's sword and the tiger talisman in the play.

Previously, the local governors could act cheaply with the royal order banner given by the emperor, and they could also mobilize local garrisons.

Wang Shouren was lying.

In order to suppress the civil power, Emperor Zhengde had already withdrawn the royal order banner issued to the governors of various places. What he was carrying in his arms was nothing more than a teahouse wooden banner that he had just picked up on the street.

Dai Deru didn't have the slightest doubt: "With the king's order flag, it's easy to transfer troops!" I immediately went to inform the Linjiang garrison! ”

The Linjiang garrison had a thousand households. According to the roster, there should be 1,120.

But eating empty pay is the traditional art of the Ming army. The actual number of thousands of households in Linjiang is only 700.

Of the 700 men, 400 had already anointed the soles of their feet. The remaining three hundred people had not yet had time to run.

These 300 people chose to stay and follow Wang Shouren. Wang Shouren is in Jiangxi and belongs to characters like Zhuge Kongming in the play. Everyone believed that they could not lose the battle with him.

Three hundred people were assembled in front of the government office.

Dai Deru asked Wang Shouren: "Your Majesty, this will arrange for the brothers to go to the city to guard?" ”

Wang Shouren's words surprised Dai Deru: "No, let's retreat and leave Linjiang Mansion." ”

Dai Deru was dumbfounded: "Wang Futai let us run?" ”

Wang Shouren said: "It's not running, it's transferring." I do want to put down the rebellion. But the place to counterbalance the rebellion is not in Linjiang, but in Ji'an. ”

Ji'an, Jiangxi, is a place with simple folk customs. As an aside, Ji'an has produced 46 generals in the May Fifth Congress, and it is a well-deserved revolutionary holy land.

In the twelfth year of Zhengde, when Wang Shouren put down the rebellion, he restored the protection system among the Hakka people in Jiangxi. Similar to the later generations of Zeng Guofan, he engaged in regimental training.

Later, Emperor Zhengde seized military power, so naturally he would not allow the militia trained by the local governor to exist.

Jiangxi's 30,000 "soldiers" were compressed and incorporated into 3,000 by the guards, and were given the establishment of 3,000 households, and the station was in Ji'an. Half of the 3,000 people are locals from Ji'an.

Wang Shouren's purpose in getting off the boat to Linjiang was not to fight the battle to defend Linjianggrad.

Wang Shouren wanted to go to Ji'an, but the situation was chaotic, and there were many bandits and bandits along the way who would take advantage of the fire to rob. He went to Ji'an alone, and I was afraid that he would be robbed before he arrived.

The purpose of his coming to Jiangfu was to find a few hundred bodyguards to escort him to Ji'an. Just the sauce.

Dai Deru felt that he was being swept away by Wang Bingxian. But after thinking about it, maybe Wang Bingxian did have a strategy to break the enemy?

Thinking of this, Dai Deru said: "We are all sent by Lord Futai. ”

Wang Shouren waved his hand: "Open up!" Go to Ji'an! ”

Let's talk about the capital.

In the past few years, Chang Feng and Wang Miaoxin have worked hard to run the Nanzhen Fusi, which is not given for nothing.

The intelligence of King Ning's rebels can be described as full of sweat in the stall of Nanzhen Fusi.

In the leopard room.

Emperor Zhengde was listening to Chang Feng and Wang Miaoxin's report on the details of King Ning's rebels.

Chang Feng said: "Your Majesty." King Ning's rebels claimed to be 160,000. The actual number is around 100,000. Among them, 10,000 are the guards of King Ning's Mansion. The remaining 90,000 are local ruffians, bandits and thieves in Jiangxi. ”

"There are three generals under King Ning. Ling 11, Min 24, Wu 13. All three were born as thieves leaders. He doesn't know the art of war, and he hasn't fought a serious battle. ”

As soon as Chang Feng reported it, Emperor Zhengde's heart blossomed.

It is clear that King Ning's men are a rabble. Then I led the heavenly soldiers to quell the rebellion of the vassal king, and the name left in the history books was not captured?

Emperor Zhengde's southern expedition had two purposes. The first is to stab the nest of civil officials. The second is the meritorious service of establishing counterinsurgency, which will be remembered for centuries.

Chang Feng said again: "Originally, with the strength of the Jiangxi Weisuo Army alone, it was completely possible to extinguish the rebellion of King Ning. At least the rebellion can be suppressed on the territory of Jiangxi. ”

"It's a pity that the eunuch yamen of Nanchang town has recently transferred several main guards from Jiangxi to Fujian to prepare for the Japanese."

In fact, this matter was instructed by Emperor Zhengde. King Ning's rebellion is not big, how can it seem that he can fight well?

Emperor Zhengde asked, "How is King Ning's salary?" ”

Chang Feng replied: "Although King Ning has exhausted all dirty means to accumulate wealth over the years. However, the scope of wealth accumulation has always been in a few prefectures near Nanchang. Nan Si calculated that the food and salary in his hands could support the needs of 100,000 rebels for half a year at most. ”

Emperor Zhengde frequently bowed his head: "Hmm." The information of Nanzhen Fusi is really detailed! ”

Suddenly, he added: "Why didn't you report it to me before?" ”

If it weren't for the fear of losing his honor in front of the king, Chang Feng would not have been able to give Emperor Zhengde a big eye on the spot.

I'll report it to you, and you have to see it too!

To put it bluntly, King Ning is a chess piece on your big game of chess. Everyone knows it. Why did something happen to find the back account of our Nanzhen Fusi. Your Majesty, you don't pay attention to it!

Chang Feng didn't say a word, and his face was displeased.

Emperor Zhengde hurriedly said: "Ah, I didn't mean to blame Nanzhen Fusi. Alright, all right, you go down first, and get ready to go with me! ”

This time Emperor Zhengde's southern expedition, there is a very strange thing.

The only civil official who asked to accompany the southern expedition was Wang Qiong, the secretary of the military department.

Yang Tinghe and the cabinet members took the initiative to ask to stay in the capital.

Emperor Zhengde was a little confused by the second monk. Usually when I go out of Beijing, you all want to stick to me.

This time I went to your Jiangnan lair, it was very unusual for Yang Ting and those guys not to ask for a car.

However, the soldiers and horses in the capital are all in the hands of my imperial aunt. You gang of powerless rotten people can't turn the sky upside down.

So Emperor Zhengde gladly agreed. Yang Tinghe led the cabinet members to stay in Beijing to manage the government.

Let's say that Chang Feng left the leopard room and came to the military department. He had to inform Wang Qiong, the secretary of the Ministry of War, of the rebel army.

Wang Qiong is Wang Shouren's Bole. He was the one who recommended Wang Shouren to serve as governor of Nangan.

Chang Feng explained his intentions, but Wang Qiong was a little unimpressed: "Just report the military situation and be exempted." Useless. ”

Chang Feng was surprised: "As the saying goes, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will not be defeated in a hundred battles." Military intelligence is the key to victory or defeat, why does Wang Shangshu say that it is useless? ”

Wang Qiong took a sip of tea: "Let me tell you the truth, the emperor is gathering 150,000 troops in the Beijing camp again, and he is personally marching in the imperial carry, and he is tossing blindly." ”

Chang Feng was stunned.

Next, Wang Qiong said a sentence recorded in the history books: "I raised Shouren as the governor of southern Jiangnan, just for today's things." Shouren is in Jiangxi, and the rebellion will be peaceful within the month, and King Ning will be captured. ”

Wang Qiong, this old guy is so confident.

Wang Qiong has a very bad reputation among civil officials. This person is very good at pulling relationships. has a very good relationship with Jiang Bin and Qian Ning. It's okay to drink a lot of wine in one place.

But poor reputation does not mean that he is a bad person, nor does it mean that he is a mediocre official.

In terms of leading troops to fight, he may not be as good as Wang Shu, Ma Wensheng, and Liu Daxia.

If you want to know people and employ people, Wang Qiong does not lose to any ancient virtuous ministers.

Chang Feng was a little surprised: "Why did Wang Butang say this?" I have known Shouren for more than 30 years. I know that he is an all-rounder who can write and calm the world, and martial arts can go to the horse to determine the world. ”

"But there is a way, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice. Wang Shouren has no soldiers in his hands, what can he do to quell the rebellion? ”

Wang Qiong disagreed: "The whole house is full of Jiangxi, is there no one available?" Wang Shouren will pull up the counterinsurgency. You don't need to worry about him. ”

"I suspect that when the southern expeditionary army reaches the Shandong border, the good news of the successful counterinsurgency will be delivered."

Lao Wang Qiong became a prophecy. Naturally, those are all afterthoughts.

It is said that Wang Shouren, under the protection of Dai Deru and hundreds of Linjiang guards, rushed to Ji'an Mansion, where the people were simple, day and night.

The prefect of Ji'an is a ruthless man. His name is Wu Wending.

Wu Wending, a jinshi in the twelfth year of Hongzhi, was the same year as Wang Shouren. At the time of the exam, his examination room was next to Tang Yin.

After the title of the gold list, this old man was awarded the official of Changzhou Mansion.

The magistrate is in charge of a prison. After Wu Wending took office, he severely punished the underworld forces in Changzhou with ruthless methods.

For example, he caught a ruffian who bullied men and women. He was afraid that the prefect would take bribes, so he convicted the local ruffian leader of a misdemeanor. So he simply put the ruffian in a prison, and for five days he was not given water, only dry food. Kill the ruffians alive with thirst.

The people of Changzhou say that he is the blue sky. But the gangsters said he was a cool official.

Later, Liu Jin took power in Beijing. Wang Shouren and Chang Feng angrily scolded Liu Jin for being demoted to the dragon field.

Brother Wu, who was far away in Changzhou, was also not ambiguous, and scolded Liu Jin bitterly. Liu Jin sent people to arrest him in Beijing and put him in prison.

This old man has survived in a purgatory-like edict on earth for four years. survived until Liu Jin lost power.

After Liu Jin's death, he was exonerated and promoted to the governor of Jiaxing Prefecture. As soon as I arrived in Jiaxing, I caught up with Yao Yuan's bandits.

The prefect of Jiaxing was a coward, and he ran to Hangzhou in the name of reporting the thief's situation. The matter of suppressing bandits fell to Wu Wending, a fellow intellectual.

His way of quelling the bandits is relatively simple - except to kill is to kill.

Banditry is tantamount to rebellion. Isn't it reasonable for me to kill the family of the rebel?

Give you three days to surrender. If you don't surrender, I'll kill all your fathers and wives.

Killed about 100 bandits. All the bandits went down the mountain and surrendered.

In the tenth year of Zhengde, he was transferred to Ji'an as a prefect. After another two years, Jiangxi was in turmoil. The imperial court sent Wang Shouren to quell the rebellion.

Wu Wending became the number one cadre under Wang Shouren.

However, Wang Shouren is both purging and appeasement. The ruthless Wu Wending never caressed him, but only killed him.

In short, Wu Wending is a ruthless man. Wang Shouren came to Ji'an for two reasons. First, there are 3,000 new troops in Ingian. The second is that Wu Da is ruthless in Ji'an. (End of chapter)
