Chapter Fifty-Three: Flattening and Conquering People's Hearts
A large number of Jinyi guards were dispatched, or the team led by Mu Bin himself, where could the family in the Zhao Mansion be able to defeat them?
Mu Bin was chatting with Lu Qi with a smile, and the brocade guards over there had already controlled everyone.
"Your Excellency, the servants and maids inside and outside the Zhao Mansion have all been taken." Qian Ning walked into the house and glared at Zhao Yongqi fiercely.
Zhao Yongqi had already been held on the ground by two fans: "I am a general under the command of the Shenji Battalion!" Why did you Jinyi guard arrest me? ”
Mu Bin smiled: "Why? ”
Saying that, he stood up and walked in front of Zhao Yongqi: "Hehehehe, what reason does Jinyiwei want to arrest people?" Let's just let you die a little more clearly...... It is a capital offense for your own soldiers to use firearms without permission.
Dare to be bold and shoot the people of Jinyiwei!
It even hurt the royal family!
Especially outside the city gates of Beijing!
Not only did I see it with my own eyes, but Fan Ting, the commander of the East Factory, and Wang Yue, the commander of your three major battalions, and hundreds of pairs of eyes of the guards and soldiers!
Zhao Yongqi, Zhao Yongqi, you have the ability! The last time we provoked our three major forces to shoot together, it was Li Guang, hum, your name has to be heard by the heavens! ”
At this point, Zhao Yongqi finally understood what his pro-soldier team had done, and he couldn't help but feel remorseful and gritted his teeth: "Liu Da, you stupid calf!" ”
……
Lu Qi finally settled down and took out two sponges full of wine from his sleeves.
It's true that she's not a good drinker, but today she had to.
So before she came, she ate a lot of fat to relieve her hangover, and she stuffed two sponges in her sleeves, and spit the wine into them when she covered her face with her sleeves.
Because of this, she was full of alcohol, but she was not drunk.
Let Cheng Yanshan support him, Lu Qi walked out slowly, and there was a carriage parked outside the courtyard that had been set, which should be the carriage that Zhao Yongqi said had to take Lu Qi.
Borrow a lantern and lift the curtain to look at it.
The inner wall of the carriage was covered with brocade, and when I touched it with my hand, there was a faint sense of strangeness, and there seemed to be something hidden under the brocade.
Summoned two brocade guards, led the horses away, and dismantled the whole carriage, it turned out that there were many fine needles hidden under those brocades, and if you were not careful, you would be stung by needles, and because the wounds were small, it was difficult to find.
A proficient undercover looked at the needles: "Huh? This needle is quenched with poison! Hiss......
This poison is very hidden, it is difficult to detect when it is first hit, and it will kill you if the poison circulates throughout the body within half a day, and it is difficult to find out the cause of death after death! ”
I see.
Lu Qi already understood that Zhao Yongqi's plan was to get Lu Qi drunk first, and then be stung by a poisonous needle in this carriage, and die in his own home half a day later.
And their words to please are not only to paralyze Lu Qi, but also to show those musicians and dancers, so that they can exonerate Zhao Yongqi as a witness after Lu Qi's death!
What a poisonous strategy!
Lu Qi closed his eyes deeply.
This is officialdom, this is the deepest river in the entire Ming Dynasty, it looks calm on the surface, but there is always an undercurrent surging underneath.
If Lu Qi jumped down lightly today, he would definitely die!
After standing for a long time, Lu Qi shook his head.
"I'm tired, go back."
……
That night, in the Shenji Camp and the capital, the doors of many people's homes were kicked open by Jinyiwei and Dongchang, and the shouts and cries sounded from time to time.
Every time a family is taken away by Fanzi, it doesn't take long for someone to arrest their relatives and neighbors, search along the street, and touch melons along the vines
The commotion did not cease until early in the morning.
At the beginning of the Mao period, the British Duke and Wang Yue went to the Shenji Battalion for a military parade together, and there were suddenly fewer officers in the right sentry battalion, and only Lu Qi was leading the team with black circles under his eyes in the general column.
After the military parade was over, the British Duke and Wang Yue came to the right sentry camp to check the account books, check the inventory and reconciliation, and inspect the withdrawal of firearms in the camp.
It was immediately discovered that there was a problem with the accounts, and it was suspected that General Zhao Yongqi and six junior officers under his command had committed serious crimes such as embezzlement of military salaries, withholding of military supplies, and illegally reselling firearms in the camp.
And Zhao Yongqi also sent his own soldiers led by Liu Da to chase and kill the Jinyi guards with firearms outside the south city gate, killing Cen Qun, many Jinyi guards and innocent people, and injuring the imperial family.
There are many crimes, and it is difficult to write a book!
Something so big happened, the British Duke immediately ordered Zhao Yongqi and others to be dismissed from the military, and the Yi clan was put in prison to wait for the emperor's ruling.
Although these people have already appeared in the edict of Jinyiwei.
In the future, the military affairs of the right outpost camp will be all led by Lu Qi.
……
After noon, Lu Qi reorganized the whole army, promoted several junior officers with good troops, and filled the vacant positions.
"Deputy Dusi Wang, no, it's time to call you Dusi Wang." Lu Qi supported his head with one hand and handed him the seal ribbon.
Wang Dusi was still stunned, he was beaten yesterday and scolded Lu Qi in the camp for a long time, and only learned that Zhao Yongqi had fallen this morning.
originally thought that the right sentry camp was going to become Lu Qi's Yiyan Hall, but he was desperate for the future, but he didn't expect that the first thing Lu Qi did after mastering the right sentry camp was to promote him?
"What's wrong?" Lu Qi shook the seal ribbon: "Is Wang Dusi unwilling to be promoted?" ”
Wang Dusi hurriedly took it: "No, isn't it...... Uh, it's just that I was in the tent yesterday ......"
"Really?" Lu Qi interrupted him.
Wang Dusi raised his head suspiciously, but saw Lu Qi looking at him with a smile, with a look of understanding in his eyes, and finally slowly understood:
"It's the heart of a lowly villain, the belly of a gentleman, thank you to the general for ignoring the past suspicions!"
On this day, Lu Qi rewarded the good and punished the evil in the camp, and set up a new account, so that the purchasing officials could use the new accounting method to record.
It wasn't until almost evening that Lu Qi returned to the mansion rubbing his aching forehead.
……
Cen Qun was no longer there, and Mu Bin hadn't thought of who to send to follow Lu Qi for a while, but Lu Qi already had a pro-army team led by Cheng Qishan behind him, so there was no need for this.
Knowing that Wei Cheng was injured, Zhu Houzhao was so distressed that he sent someone to take his younger brother into the palace early in the morning, who was a famous medicine and a famous doctor, for fear that he would not recover well enough.
On the morning of the second day, Lu Qi finally waited for Emperor Hongzhi's decree.
“…… Lu Yun, the general of the right sentry under the Shenji Battalion, commanded the right sentry camp, strictly enforced military discipline, guarded firearms, and equipped the three armies with the flintlocks. ”
Lu Qi ignored those gorgeous pun texts and noticed Emperor Hongzhi's true intentions: He wants me to spread the flintlock and equip the entire Shenji Battalion?
After receiving the order, Lu Qi hurriedly asked people to call the craftsmen who specialized in the development of flint guns from the military craftsmen under the jurisdiction of the Yamen of the Beizhili Prefecture under the Shenji Battalion.
After the warmakers arrived, Lu Qi asked.
It turns out that since being summoned by the crown prince, the development of the flintlock gun has been constantly developing, and last time it was only a prototype, and now more than a dozen experimental guns have been made.
"Lord Lu, this is what the latest flintlock looks like, you see." A lean craftsman stood at the bottom, it was the same military craftsman he had seen at Zhu Houzhao last time, named Red, who was an expert in this area of firecrackers.
Lu Qi looked at it for a long time, the shape of this experimental gun was very close to a modern flintlock pistol, and then he went to the school field to test shoot, and it felt good.
"Good!"
Lu Qi smiled and patted Red's shoulder: "Master Lei, you did a good job, you will be rewarded!" Come, reward him with two hundred taels of silver! ”
Red originally stood beside him resignedly, but when he heard this, he raised his head in surprise and gave a big salute: "Thank you, General!" ”
