Wuxing nineteenth year, September.

Hangzhou Mansion.

At this time, Lin Xiao's heart was a little tormented.

In front of him, there were Hangjiahu generals, several guerrilla generals, and the commanders of the guards of several nearby prefectures, and the troops of northern Zhejiang had been gathered together at this time, all under the city of Hangzhou.

"Chief soldier, my subordinates toast you! This time to support the Beijing army, when you get to the battlefield, please take care of your little brother. ”

Some people raised their glasses and bent over, looking flattering.

The 3,000 Beijing troops sent by the imperial court were surrounded by suspected rogue troops, and now they were struggling to support themselves in a dangerous place, Lin Xiao used this as a reason, after discussing with the governor of Zhejiang, ordered all the troops in northern Zhejiang to gather and prepare for rescue, and these generals did not suspect him, and they were now drinking the last meal of Zhuangxing wine before sending out the army.

That's the Beijing Army! Although it is also a little slack because the Beijing division has not fought for a long time, whether it is equipment or training, it is not comparable to their guards after all.

can surround and fight more than 3,000 Beijing troops, and this unknown force either has a lot of people or is particularly capable of fighting.

In either case, it seems that the mission of this support is particularly dangerous.

They are all pointing at this chief soldier now, after all, this person who beat Zhang Xianzhong to the point of losing his armor is naturally very flattering.

At the same time, they were also a little puzzled, where did this rogue come out of nowhere, with such a powerful combat power, and at the same time silently, he didn't get any news?

Yes, the rogues, mainly in their imaginations, really can't think of other possibilities.

After all, there are 3,000 Beijing troops! They are not without landlords and gentry in their local areas, but they don't have that ability at all.

Lin Xiao looked at them, but his expression was a little dazed.

He knew that the 3,000 Jing troops he was going to rescue had actually been buried in the valley of bones a long time ago, and the few survivors had been thrown into the mine day and night labor reform, and this rescue was originally a scam.

A one-catch-all scam.

He also knew that the Yan family was doing this in a naked rebellious act, and once they failed in the end, their followers would definitely die.

He is actually very entangled, he is mixed with the Yan family, firstly, because his ancestors, since he followed Taizu to fight the country and got the official position of Shaoxing Wei commander, he has basically had a connection with the adjacent Yan family, and with the development and growth of the other party, their connection is deeper, he just conformed to the choice of his ancestors for generations; Secondly...... They also give too much.

Although he gradually discovered later that the allies of this generation did not seem to be so peaceful, and now, it has reached the point of completely breaking with the imperial court.

But there was no way back for him.

Their family is too deeply entangled with the Yan family, and after careful investigation, he can't escape at all.

When the time comes, let alone defeat Zhang Xianzhong, it will be useless for him to defeat the king of heaven.

He is just an ordinary person, in this troubled world, between the two great forces, there is no room for him to turn around.

But he just wants to live his life in peace! Those heroes go to fight for their world, whoever wins, a little person like him will follow whom, wouldn't it be good?

He suddenly hated his ancestors, why did he choose to take refuge in the Yan family in the first place, so that he is facing such a situation now, if the other party can succeed, it is fine, if it fails, it will be a catastrophe.

But the opponent is that huge dynasty!

……

Or not...... There's no turning back anyway.

One way, go to the dark! After drying this glass of wine, even if the final ending is the road to the Yellow Springs, it is not lonely!

Lin Xiao's throat rolled, he suddenly raised his glass, and drank the liquor bitterly, as if he was drinking Zhuangxing wine, the wine fell from the glass and fell along the chin, but this heroic momentum encouraged the generals present, they laughed and drank the same full glass, and drank it in one gulp.

The governor of Zhejiang was also smiling, watching Lin Xiao's fingers gripping the wine bowl loosen and slammed the ceramic bowl on the ground.

"The chief soldier is so courageous!" The governor's compliments got stuck in his throat, and he heard the grinding of iron pieces on his armor coming from outside the house with neat footsteps.

In the blink of an eye, countless blue-armored soldiers armed with muskets poured into the lobby, and the muzzles of the black holes were aimed at everyone except Lin Xiao.

This is a feast!

……

In Beijing, the Son of Heaven of the Ming Dynasty held a court meeting, and countless courtiers knelt at the foot of the dragon chair to offer long live blessings to the emperor.

The emperor leaned on the dragon chair and ordered to be flattened, and Wang Tiqian announced for the emperor that if there was a report among the hundred officials, he could do it.

The officials looked at each other quietly.

As His Majesty grew older, his temperament became more impatient and violent than when he was younger.

A few days ago, some officials were stripped of their official robes and sent to prison just because their performance did not conform to the emperor's wishes, which made everyone here more and more aware of the skills of "protecting one's self with wisdom" and "reporting good news but not bad news".

So everyone in the court naturally began to pick the best ones to tell the emperor:

"Your Majesty, Inspector Lu led the army to approach Nanyang, the two thieves are at the end of the road, and they can be peaceful! His Majesty avenges the clan, and his love for his relatives can be seen, and when the second king confers the head, he can be dedicated to the temple to comfort the ancestors......"

"Your Majesty, the general Zuo Liangyu defeated Zhang Xianzhong in Wuning, Jiangxi, and there were only more than 1,000 people left under the thieves, and they fled into Huguang in embarrassment, and the ministers asked for credit for the left general."

……

As for the fact that there are many displaced people at this time, and rebels are rising one after another, except for a few areas where there are powerful generals, the rest of the places are already full of wolf smoke, and of course they will not talk about it now.

Anyway, it's all a good thing, and I heard that the corners of Emperor Wuxing's mouth were raised, and he stroked his beard, and he was in a very happy mood.

In the midst of the joy, a soldier suddenly broke in in a hurry, his clothes were disheveled, his face was covered with dust, and he was obviously in a hurry, this appearance was particularly eye-catching among the well-dressed adults, and naturally it quickly attracted everyone's attention.

Emperor Wuxing frowned, and before he could speak, Wang Tiqian had already taken the first step to scold him:

"On this temple, before the Son of Heaven, what kind of system did he become...... What's the matter, don't tell your majesty quickly! ”

The soldier gasped twice and fell to his knees. He pulled a letter from the leather tube around his waist and held it high above his head.

A eunuch took it and read it aloud for the emperor:

"Huizhou Emergency:"

"On September 15 of the 19th year of Wuxing, it has been verified that the Yan rebellion of Ningbo Prefecture has been completed, and all 3,000 Beijing troops have been wiped out, and the tax envoy and the imperial history are rumored to have died in the hands of Kou."

"Ningbo, Shaoxing, Jinhua, Taizhou and other prefectures all fell overnight!"

……

"Zhejiang's chief soldier Lin Xiao rebelled, and the officials of Hangzhou were martyred or surrendered to the enemy, and Hangzhou fell!"

"The situation is critical, please send troops to help the court quickly!"

Everyone's shocked expressions froze on their faces.
