"I just went to Jilin City to live, and I didn't live for a few months and was transferred back, alas, ......"

"Didn't you say it, after the land here is reclaimed, we can live here, you see that this place is actually not bad, we estimate that we can open up a lot of arable land before winter."

"Work harder, don't be grinning."

At the beginning of May, compared with the heat of later generations, Changchun in this era still felt a little cold.

Changchun Institute, which Zhu Yuanzhang ordered and Zhu Gaoxu was responsible for supervising the construction of the Thousand Households, has become a David Institute that can accommodate 5,000 people after a year of construction.

The whole guard is made of concrete and stones, the circumference of the city is five miles, the city is one zhang four zhang high, one zhang wide, there is a military camp in the city, and there are 2,000 dwellings, which is twice as large as Zhu Gaoxu's expected plan.

The fire tunnel and fire wall in the castle have been built, and now you only need to complete the roof and clean it a little before you can move in.

The military households responsible for building houses and cultivating fields here were Shandong military households who were transferred north with Liu Wu's 3,000 households.

They had 1,000 households, and more than 2,000 men.

After a winter of military training, they already had the ability to protect themselves, so at the end of April they were assigned to Changchun to build and open up wasteland, and the original soldiers and horses were transferred to Zhaozhou City to participate in the northern tour.

At noon, they had returned to this place for only five days, and they had already cultivated more than 100 acres of cultivated land outside Zhaozhou with manpower.

If this speed is placed in the south, it will naturally be very fast, but this is outside the Guan, and it is the Bohai Sea.

"Alas, I don't know why His Royal Highness didn't give us ploughing cattle and horses, if there were ploughing oxen and horses, maybe more than 1,000 acres would have been reclaimed now."

A military household complained, but the horn sounded at the head of the city of Changchun.

After the horn sounded, everyone became vigilant, and the officials of the hundred households who were in charge of keeping the weapons in the ridge also began to be vigilant.

Despite the city of Zhaozhou to the north, Changchun was easily attacked by the Uliangha from Liaoze in the summer.

"It's the brothers of Liaodong, take it easy!"

Chu Zhao, the official of the Thousand Households of the Changchun Institute, stood on the road and greeted the brothers in the field, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard it.

Some of them bowed their heads and continued to clear the wasteland, wielding hoes to cut through the wasteland and throw small stones onto the road.

The difficulty of reclamation in Changchun is much smaller than that of Jilin City, which has many river stones, and here there are more stones except for the hills adjacent to the mountainous area, and other places are not common because of the reclamation of the Liao and Jin dynasties.

Because of the ease of cultivation and the flat terrain, it is easy to cultivate fields here.

The soldiers bowed their heads and cultivated until two quarters of an hour had passed, and then they saw the Liaodong army coming from afar on the road that had been deliberately set aside for ten zhang.

"So many people?"

"It's not that we want to tour the north, it's normal to have a lot of people, don't we also send out 5,000 people."

Seeing the comers, many military households took the opportunity to steal a lazy look, pestle hoes and rakes, and watched this group of Liaodong soldiers slowly approach.

In a short time, the forward had already arrived at the Changchun Institute, and Geng Xuan, who was in charge of the front army, also rode his horse to the front of the thousands of households in the Changchun Institute.

He looked around and could easily see that the military households in Changchun had not been trained for a long time, so he asked Chu Zhao: "Which one are you from?" ”

"The last general ......" Chu Zhao explained their origins, Geng Zhen frowned when he heard this, and then stretched.

"Jiangyin Marquis is on the northern tour, do you have extra beans and grain here?"

"No ......" Chu Zhao shook his head and said: "Our grain is only half a month, His Royal Highness said let's wait for the next time the capital will send grain to intercept some of it, dare to ask the governor, can this grain and grass be sent?" ”

Chu Zhao's words made Geng Xuan's heart feel relieved, he was most worried that Zhu Gaoxu would have enough food to eat, and it seemed that it should not be enough at the moment.

"Give them 2,000 stones." Geng Xuan explained to the commander beside him, and at the same time said to Chu Zhao: "Let your people continue to farm, and we will camp in the north of the city." ”

"The last general commands!" Chu Zhao responded, and then made way for them.

Geng led his troops to the north of the city, and the procession stretched for several miles, and it took two quarters of an hour to pass through.

After they left, Chu Zhao's face slowly became flat, and a hundred household officials also walked to his side, and said in a low voice: "Really don't notify Your Highness?" ”

"Your Highness said, let's do business as usual, ignore them, and don't notify Jilin City." Chu Zhao picked up the hoe on the ground and walked to the field.

Seeing this, the officials of the hundred households also picked up their hoes and followed.

Not long after, they joined the team of clearing the wasteland, the only difference was that a batch of grain was ushered in their warehouse.

"Why do you bring them food?"

In the north of Changchun, when the officers and soldiers began to set up camp, Geng Zhen asked Wu Gao, who was inspecting the barracks, and Wu Gao also said as he walked: "It's okay to give them food, if Zheng Gongzhi fails, transfer them to the south." ”

"If they succeed, they are also the officers and soldiers of my Liaodong Metropolitan Division, and the allocation of food can also appease them and make them lower their vigilance."

Wu Gao said this, and at the same time looked at the map in his hand.

This map was handed over to Zhu Yuanzhang by Zhu Gaoxu, and was copied and sent to Wu Gao by Zhu Yunwen.

At present, there are two roads leading to Jilin City, one is from the east of Changchun Institute directly through the Great Black Mountain to Jilin City.

The other road is the former post road, from Changchun to the north to go more than 100 miles, and then along the Songhua River all the way to the south, so that another 60 miles, you can reach the Jixi Pass of Jilin City.

When they arrived at Changchun, they parted ways with Zheng Gongzhi.

Zheng Gongzhi led 2,000 soldiers to Jilin City under the pretext of transporting grain, while Wu Gao and the others had to disguise themselves as a northern tour to the north, take a detour to the farther road, and camp next to the Songhua River in the north, waiting for news from Zheng Gongzhi.

However, Wu Gao was always wary of cutting Zhu Gaoxu, so he did not plan to follow the original plan.

"Tomorrow, after Zheng Gongzhi goes to Jilin City, you and I will go north for more than 30 miles to camp, and then send a thousand cavalry north to Sheling Pass.

"If he fails, we will immediately go south, and at the same time transfer the military households and food from Changchun."

Wu Gao regarded Zheng Gongzhi as an outcast, and Geng Zhen also agreed very much.

In the past few days, he has seen Zheng Gongzhi yelling at them, obviously just to inspect the imperial history, but he is in charge of him, the governor.

Even if that person was alive, Geng Zhen and Wu Gao did not plan to work with him.

If it weren't for the fear that Zhu Gaochu would really be forced to rebel, they all hoped that Zhu Gaochu would pull out a knife and slaughter that disgusting guy.

While they were thinking like this, it was getting dark.

Zheng Gongzhi saw in a dream that after his successful reduction of the domain, his teacher Fang Xiaoru spoke well for himself, and then became an official and became a knight, serving as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

It's a pity that his dream didn't last long before it dissipated, and because he was accustomed to the time of the early dynasty, when he woke up, the hour was not too late, and the sky was not yet bright.

"Imperial History ......"

The soldiers at the door greeted him, but Zheng Gongzhi frowned after bowing his head and said, "Why don't you pack up and leave?" ”

"Uh...... It's only two minutes (3:30). The soldiers were stunned by what he said, after all, when they were marching outside, they usually only got up at four o'clock to cook, and ordinary soldiers would only get up at seven o'clock to eat.

Normally, most of them don't leave until four o'clock, so there is plenty of time.

"Herald to go!" Zheng Gongzhi ordered with a cold face, secretly scolding these soldiers for being lazy.

He felt that he could get up at the right time as a literati, and that these soldiers should be more hard-working than he was, but now it seemed that these were all lazy soldiers, and they could not be used.

When Zheng Gongzhi thought so, he didn't want him to ride in a carriage, and the soldiers walked on their legs.

At his request, the soldiers had no choice but to call up the two thousand soldiers who had been assigned to him yesterday.

For a while, there was a lot of scolding in the camp, and Zheng Gongzhi was even more sure that these soldiers were lazy soldiers after hearing it.

At his urging, before the hour arrived, two thousand soldiers and horses set foot on the road to Jilin City.

Wu Gao, who was woken up, saw this scene and kicked the horse next to him in anger.

"These brothers only fell asleep last night, but they only slept for three and a half hours before they were woken up by this Zheng Gongzhi, if he was allowed to lead the troops out of the fortress alone, I am afraid that he would be slaughtered by his subordinates before he met Hu Bing."

Geng Xuan, who also got up, shook his head and sneered, and the whole person lost interest in continuing to rest, got up and began to patrol the camp.

Zheng Gongzhi didn't know about their evaluation, and at the moment he was still immersed in the dream of successfully cutting the feudal domain and becoming an official.

With 2,000 people under his command, he walked to Jilin City, and the road of more than 200 miles took four days to complete, and when they came to Jixi Pass, the Jixi Pass guard also stopped them.

"We came to deliver food, and in addition, Your Majesty has a will for me to hand it over to the King of Bohai County."

Looking at the Bohai Rui pawn at the gate of the city, Zheng Gongzhi suddenly became nervous.

Seeing that the thousand-household official was going to continue to ask, Liu Wu, who was secretly waiting, also walked out, and he said to the thousand-household official with an urgent face: "Wang Kui, don't stop the angels, so as not to catch the handle for the imperial court." ”

"But this ......" Wang Kui looked at the cart that didn't look like a grain truck, and hesitated.

Seeing this, Liu Wu asked everyone to withdraw from the rejection without waiting for his reaction, and let Zheng Gongzhi escort more than 2,000 people into Jilin Bay.

For more than 20 miles of road, Liu Wu opened the way for Zheng Gongzhi and others, and this was also the first time Zheng Gongzhi saw the appearance of Jilin City.

Millions of acres of cultivated land in the entire river bay have been reclaimed, and the road does not look like a blue brick road in the south of the Yangtze River, let alone a rammed earth road, and looks like a connected stone.

"What is this made of?"

Zheng Gongzhi asked Liu Wu about the concrete road under his feet, and Liu Wu said without thinking: "It's cement, and the king of Bohai County has hidden many things that he has not let the court know, such as the ...... over there."

Liu Wu motioned to Zheng Gongzhi to look east, and sure enough, as soon as Zheng Gongzhi looked up, he saw patches of rice.

"Can rice be grown outside the gates?" Zheng Gongzhi couldn't believe it, and Liu Wu also said: "It's not just rice, there are many things here, just wait for Zheng Yushi to read them one by one after you win the queen of Bohai County." ”

Before Zheng Gongzhi succeeded, Liu Wu had already celebrated for him, Zheng Gongzhi's heart fluttered after hearing it, but he was still a little vigilant: "How many soldiers are there around Jilin City?" ”

"There are 1,000 people in Jixi Pass, 1,000 people in the barracks, and 1,000 people in the city, among which I have transferred my subordinates to the city, plus the Jinyi guards in the army, and the 1,000 people in the city are all our people."

"Jixiguan is twenty miles away from Jilin City, and the military camp is five miles away from Jilin City, so as long as you quickly take the Bohai Palace, a major event can be decided."

"Isn't there a guard in the palace?" Zheng Gongzhi asked, and Liu Wu bowed: "Only the Bohai County Royal Mansion has three hundred guards, but as long as you give an order, those three hundred people will definitely not be able to support the arrival of reinforcements from the military camp and Jixi Pass." ”

"Good...... So I'm relieved. Knowing the situation in Jilin City, Zheng Gongzhi also breathed a sigh of relief.

However, when he looked at the group of people in the surrounding fields, he thought of what Wu Gao said, so he asked Liu Wu: "There are many people in this Jilin City who are Jurchens, won't they help the King of Bohai?" ”

"The men are all farming outside, and only the academies in each city have more than 30,000 students, but no more than 7,000 of them are over the age of 15."

"Besides, they are unarmoured, and they are no match for soldiers."

"Good!" Hearing Liu Wu's words so firmly, Zheng Gongzhi nodded and gradually let down his guard.

Not long after, as Liu Wu said, the defenders in Jilin City had no defense against them, and simply let them enter the city.

Under the guidance of Liu Wu, two thousand Liaodong capital soldiers went to the Bohai Palace, led by Zheng Gongzhi, and many people looked at them vigilantly along the way.

Feeling these gazes, Zheng Gongzhi hurriedly asked Liu Wu: "Why do they look like this?" ”

"I have heard that the south is cutting the feudal domain and is hostile to the imperial court, this is just the strategy of the Bohai King to fool the people." Liu Wu explained, and they also arrived at the gate of the Bohai Palace.

"Stop!"

The hundred sharp soldiers on duty at the Chongli Gate of the Wangfu shouted loudly to stop Zheng Gongzhi and the others, and Liu Wu hurriedly scolded when he saw this: "This is an angel sent by the imperial court, you dare to hinder it, are you impatient?" ”

"Liu Wu! Who the are you soldier, elbowing out?! ”

The reprimanded young Baihu official lost his temper and taught Liu Wu a lesson.

"Naturally, I am a soldier of the imperial court, and so are you!" Liu Wu stood up proudly, and at the same time scolded the hundred household officials: "Wang Rong, don't shout at your father because he is the commander, this is Zheng Yushi from the imperial court!" ”

Hundreds of household officials dare to be angry Liu Wu naturally has a reliance, although he is young, but his father is the commander Wang Yi, because of this, the palace guards are all done by him, and he also admires Zhu Gaoxu very much.

"Bold Wang Rong, Your Majesty's will is here, do you dare to hinder my will?!"

Zheng Gongzhi looked at Wang Rong's hundred people, and felt contempt in his heart, after all, there were two thousand soldiers and horses from Liu Wu and Liaodong Dusi standing behind him.

"I don't dare to resist the decree, but His Royal Highness has already issued an edict, if someone from the court comes to announce the decree, only one angel will be allowed to enter the palace."

Wang Rong spoke coldly, and Liu Wu also drew his sword and pointed at Wang Rong when he saw this: "Hold them up, whoever dares to do it will be a rebellion!" ”

Under the command of Liu Wu, the soldiers of the Liaodong Metropolitan Division also stepped forward with guns.

They had already prepared, and before entering the city, they changed into Ming armor, and the armor was complete, and the three spears of Zhang San held Wang Rong and others, forcing them back with only short soldiers.

"Open the gate of the palace!"

Zheng Gongzhi opened his mouth with a cold face, and Wang Rong tried to resist but was held to his neck with a knife by a general flag officer on the side.

"Liu Meng, what do you mean!"

Wang Rong, who was framed, gritted his teeth, and Liu Meng, the chief flag officer, also spoke: "The lowly position is Jinyiwei, and today I am on an errand by His Majesty's order." ”

"Bastard!" Wang Rong was only seventeen years old, and his heart was young, and when he heard Liu Meng's words, he was angry.

"Leave me alone, stop them!"

He opened his mouth to give an order, but at this time, the gate of the palace opened, and Yishaha walked out of it and said to Zheng Gongzhi on horseback: "Your Highness has an order, please Zheng Yushi enter the palace with the holy decree." ”

"Collect the knife ......" also lost a cold face and ordered everyone to put away the knife, although the Bohai sharp pawn who heard the words was unwilling, he still obeyed the order to collect the knife.

Then Liu Meng let go of Wang Rong and retreated to Liu Wu's camp.

Wang Rong touched his neck and looked at Liu Meng gloomily.

"Wang Qianhu is stationed outside, and Liu Qianhu led his troops into the house with me."

Zheng Gongzhi saw that Zhu Gaoxu had given up resistance, and immediately asked Liu Wu to lead a thousand soldiers and horses into the Bohai Palace.

On the square of the carrier hall, more than 100 Bohai sharp soldiers held spears in their hands, and looked at Zheng Gongzhi and others who walked into the square with unkind faces.

Compared with the soldiers and horses of Liaodong, their number is too small, but the momentum crushes them.

Walking on the high platform, Liu Wu left hundreds of soldiers to guard the more than 100 sharp soldiers, and he took the remaining hundreds of people to accompany Yishiha and Zheng Gongzhi up the steps, step by step on the high platform, and came to the gate of the carrier hall.

The door of the carrier hall is open, and there are more than 100 soldiers on the left and right in the hall, which can accommodate hundreds of people.

However, Zheng Gongzhi was not worried about this, because there were thousands of Liaodong soldiers behind him.

led the troops into the hall, and more than 300 Liaodong soldiers confronted more than 100 Bohai sharp soldiers with weapons.

Yizha walked onto the stone platform of the Bohai Palace, on which sat Zhu Gaoxu.

He was tall and sat on the couch, with armor and an iron shovel in his hand.

He wiped the iron shovel with a coarse cloth, and did not pay attention to Zheng Gongzhi, Liu Wu and hundreds of Liaodong soldiers who walked into the hall.

"Gao Xu, the king of Bohai County, Your Majesty has a will, kneel down and accept the order!"

Zheng Gongzhi already felt bad when he saw Zhu Gaochu wearing armor, but when he thought of the Liaodong soldiers behind him, he still mustered up his courage and held the holy decree to let Zhu Gaochu kneel.

However, in the face of his words, Zhu Gaoxu absentmindedly wiped the iron shovel, and ignored Zheng Gongzhi and them as if there was no one around.

Zheng Gongzhi held the holy decree in embarrassment, and finally became angry and directly opened the holy decree and read it.

"I heard that Bohai opened a private market, collected money, and wrote letters to the king of Xiang to plot rebellion. However, it is not difficult for me to know that he can blame himself and will be a good person. He ordered the king of Bohai County to send his troops south to the capital, and introspective himself in Beijing, and then ......"

Zheng Gongzhi read out the will, the content of which was nothing more than Zhu Yunwen attacking him with the Jurchens, and at the same time framing himself and the King of Xiang for plotting rebellion.

The third division asked for a verdict, but Zhu Yunwen was still exculpating himself, reducing the capital crime to seizing troops and going south, and the house introspected.

"That's it!" Zhu Gaoxu, who couldn't listen anymore, threw the coarse cloth in his hand on the table, interrupting Zheng Gongzhi.

Without waiting for Zheng Gongzhi to react, Zhu Gaoxu looked at Yishuha: "How?" ”

"It's all arranged." also lost his response, and Zhu Gaoxu's eyes signaled him to retreat without armor.

Yisha retreated, and Zheng Gongzhi also reacted, scolding: "Bohai Shuren! How dare you be rude to Your Majesty! ”

Zhu Gaoxu slowly stood up and sneered: "He hasn't said enough yet, but I've heard enough......"

He glanced inside the hall and looked at the Bohai Rui pawn in the hall: "Brothers from Bohai and Liaodong, this holy decree says that I am rebelling, do you think I am rebelling?" ”

"In vain!! In vain!! In vain!! ”

The voice of injustice was sung, the soldiers of Liaodong Dusi bowed their heads, and the Bohai Rui soldiers sang.

This sudden change made Zheng Gongzhi and Liu Wu's faces ugly, and in front of them, Zhu Gaoxu also picked up the iron shovel.

"When I led my soldiers and my brothers from Liaodong to defend Jilin City, why didn't Emperor Gao say that I had rebelled......

"When I went on an expedition to Wuliang Ha Bald City and beheaded nearly 10,000 people, why didn't Emperor Gao say that I had rebelled......

"When I traded with the Jurchens and appeased the Jurchens outside the Guan, why didn't Emperor Gao say that I had rebelled......

Zhu Gaoxu counted every thing he had done, and also moved out Zhu Yuanzhang, who knew about it.

"Now, when he takes the throne, he says that I have rebelled, and the king of Xiang has been forced to death by you, do you want to force me to death now?"

He glanced at everyone, the Liaodong soldiers were even weaker, and Zheng Gongzhi and Liu Wu also noticed that something was wrong.

"It's a pity that I'm not the king of Xiang, I'm the king of Bohai County canonized by Emperor Taizu Gao, and it's also Emperor Taizu Gao who allowed me to exchange markets with the Jurchens."

"You really think it's ...... to add sin to your desires"

"Do it!!" Zheng Gongzhi shouted, and Liu Wu immediately took more than ten soldiers to pull out short soldiers and kill Zhu Gaoxu.

The Bohai soldiers and the Liaodong soldiers also pulled out short soldiers and fought in this palace.

"Emperor Taizu Gao said: There are no ministers in the court, and there is treachery in it, so he will train soldiers to fight against it, and he will clear the evil on the side of the monarch."

Zhu Gaoxu calmly looked at Liu Wu and more than ten others who rushed towards him, and slowly spoke: "...... today"

"Bohai Shuren, Hugh is crazy!!"

Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Liu Wu and others rushed to kill, Zhu Gaoxu jumped down with an iron shovel, and Liu Wu and others swung their hammers and smashed them.

During the hand-to-hand combat, Liu Wu only felt the sound of bones shattering, and when he came back to his senses, he saw his hand hanging in the air in a strange posture.

"Ah!!h

In one blow, the weapon was knocked away, the arm was smashed hard, and Liu Wu's tragic situation made the scalp of the soldiers who rushed with him numb, and Zheng Gongzhi was even more frightened and sat on the ground.

Without waiting for them to react, Zhu Gaoxu swung his shovel and smashed over the two soldiers who rushed in, grabbed one of the soldiers whose weapons were knocked away, lifted him up with one arm, and slammed it on the hall.

The dull voice and Liu Wu's screams reminded Zheng Gongzhi of Wu Gao's words: 'The king of Bohai County has the courage of ten thousand people'.

"Kill him! He's only one man! Uhh......h

Liu Wu, who had a broken arm, retreated, clenched his severed hand, and couldn't help but let out a wail while giving orders around.

Zhu Gaoxu glanced at everyone, half of his face was stained with the blood of Liu Wu and others.

"Kill!!"

Dozens of soldiers came towards him, but he continued what he had not finished just now: "Today, I am alone at the behest ......of Emperor Taizu Gao."

"Qingjun's side, Yasukuni is difficult!!"

"Bohai Chronicle": "In May Xinwei, Wu led the troops to rebel, led Gongzhi into the city, Gongzhi sent troops to besiege the house, led the troops into the palace to be bound and killed, led the guards to bear the armor, beheaded a hundred levels and did not taste an arrow, and was created"

"Ming Shizong Record": "In May Xinwei, Jianwenjun sent 2,000 troops to surround the palace, falsely accused of plotting chaos, and fought with a negative armor. All thieves stain their blood, and they are strong. ”
