Chapter 24: Ambush

More than 300 people behind Huang Shouzheng were wearing tattered mandarin duck battle jackets, but the weapons in their hands were polished. Between movement and stillness, an array is faintly formed.

From this point, it can be seen that Huang Shouzheng is different from other guards. The soldiers in their hands have good combat power.

"This king came out of Jinling in embarrassment, I thought that Huang Qianhu would leave me, but I didn't expect that Brother Huang would not give up at this time, I underestimated Brother Huang!"

Feng Yuan simply said what he thought in his heart, and apologized to Huang Shouzheng seriously.

This is an expression of attitude, wanting to win people's hearts.

"The little prince is serious! The villain is ashamed!"

Sure enough, Huang Shouzheng's face turned red when he was moved by Feng Yuan's attitude, and he hurriedly bowed down again, his voice trembling a little.

"During the period when the little prince came to Jinling, he recruited strong and strong, trained soldiers, had great ambitions in his heart, and the villain was not talented, so he was willing to join the command of the little prince and go to the soup and fire!"

As a guard, he was born with the label of weakness.

Huang Shouzheng is a thousand households, and he has been trained in sword and gun martial arts under the cultivation of his father since he was a child, and he has developed a skill. But every time I go to Jinling, I will be blinded by those scholars and wealthy businessmen. No one looked at him squarely.

He is also an ambitious person, and he is often stimulated by this, and he has long thought of finding an opportunity to go into battle and kill the enemy and make great achievements.

After making a contribution, let those bullshit literati in Jinling know his ability.

When Feng Yuan began to recruit strong and trained scholars, Huang Shouzheng heard about it, and then sent someone to pay attention to it quietly, and he had some understanding of Feng Yuan, the grandson of King Zhou, so he thought about taking refuge.

At present, Feng Yuan attaches so much importance to him, which makes Huang Shouzheng's blood boil, and this feeling of importance is what he desires the most.

"Okay, good! Qing will live up to me, I will live up to Qing! In the future, Brother Huang will be the right guard of my Zhou Palace!"

Feng Yuan laughed.

In the early Ming Dynasty, the vassal king could have three guards and horses, each of which had tens of thousands of guards and thousands of people. However, with the accession of Ming Chengzu to the throne, the prince's personal guards were gradually withdrawn. However, on the surface, the system of the feudal prince's personal guard was not abolished.

When he began to recruit guards, Feng Yuan had already organized the three hundred people trained by Jiang Yingjie into the left guard of the palace, and Jiang Yingjie was the commander of the left guard.

After that, Feng Yuan will enrich all the three personal guards of the Zhou Palace, forming a large army.

"Huang Shouzheng, the right guard of the palace, Huang Shouzheng, Xie Xiao Wang Ye promoted!" Huang Shouzheng commanded loudly.

Zhao Heng, Sun Qi, Cui Wanfu and others saw this scene, and their faces showed envy, as soon as Huang Shouzheng came, he became the top five figures in Zhou Wangfu.

However, they also knew that Huang Shouzheng was originally a thousand households in the imperial court, and when he defected, he also brought more than 300 horses. It's normal to be valued.

After Huang Shouzheng officially surrendered, the group did not waste time, and immediately took grain, grass, baggage, gold, silver, and ordnance to rush towards the north ferry.

On the way, Feng Yuan pulled Huang Shouzheng and Jiang Yingjie to talk constantly, intentionally or unintentionally, to teach a few words.

"Huang Shouzheng's martial arts and training ability are similar to Jiang Yingjie's, and he also has a certain ability to command the battle array, he is a talent!"

For the subordinates he had just received, Feng Yuan secretly made an assessment.

There was a faint sound of the river ahead.

After walking on the road for more than half an hour, everyone finally arrived at the ferry port in the north of Jinling, and two big boats had docked by the river, which were the ferries arranged in advance.

"It's a little strange! We killed a thousand households and slapped those grandfathers and uncles in the face, and they didn't send anyone to chase and kill?"

I was about to get on the boat and go to Jiangbei, but Gu Rujin had some doubts on his face.

According to his calculations, after their group joined Jiang Yingjie, Jinling's pursuers would arrive. He also deliberately reminded everyone to be on guard.

But the expected pursuers did not arrive for a long time. It's a bit confusing.

"It's not that the chasing soldiers didn't arrive, but they rushed to the front of us! Little prince, brothers, you haven't been in Jinling for a long time, and you don't know much about Xin Chengbo and Wei Guogong!"

Huang Shouzheng explained aloud.

"The battalion soldiers in the city are completely useless, it's okay to let them wave their flags and cheer, and it is even more difficult to let them go into battle and kill people than to ascend to the sky! Xin Chengbo and Wei Guogong are not the battalion soldiers who can fight the most in their hands, but their family members and the good players of a few dart bureaus! The backers behind those dart games in the city are the nobles of Jinling!"

"Another point, that is, to use a large team of men and horses to fight outside Jinling City, the impact is too great, they are well-informed, no matter where we go ashore, we can't hide the eyes and ears of the other party!

"Let them come, are you afraid that they won't succeed?" Jiang Yingjie said coldly.

Feng Yuan didn't speak, and glanced at Huang Shouzheng deeply, the other party's thinking was clear and worth reusing.

Half a day later.

Feng Yuan and his seven or eight hundred men had already crossed the river and came to Jiangbei. Their destination was near Pizhou in Huai'an Province.

Huai'an Mansion is close to Shandong, a large number of displaced people in Shandong go south, you can choose young and strong soldiers to train, and the rivers here are vertical and horizontal, the land is fertile, and the tuntian army is twice the result with half the effort.

In the future, after the Jiashen Tian Change, King Fu, King Lu, King Chong, and King Zhou who broke through from Kaifeng Mansion with Fengyuan all gathered here, and the generals Liu Zeqing and Gao Jie also withdrew from Shandong to Huai'an.

If Feng Yuan can co-opt all these people, he can become one of the few people who can influence the general trend of the world.

"Little prince, the mountains and forests in front are dense, and it is a necessary place to go to Huai'an Mansion, be careful of the enemy ambush!"

When he came to a major road, Huang Shouzheng looked at the surrounding environment and hurriedly stepped forward to remind him.

"Master Sun, Master Cui, you go to the front to investigate!"

Feng Yuan nodded slightly, and with a wave of his hand, the more than six hundred people who were hurrying stopped and stood on guard. Zhao Heng and Jiang Yingjie pressed the handle of the knife on their waists.

Sun Qi and Cui Wanfu were very lightweight, and after receiving the order, they immediately ran towards the mountains and forests in front of them, the two of them were like birds, agile and fast, and they ran out of the distance in a blink of an eye.

Soon, there was a commotion in the mountains and forests ahead, and there seemed to be the sound of weapons colliding and fighting.

Sun Qi and Cui Wanfu rushed out a little embarrassed, and Cui Wanfu also had a color on his shoulders.

"Be careful, there's an ambush inside!"

It seems that the ambush is ineffective, and a large number of people and horses are pouring out of the mountains and forests. There are thousands of them.

Everyone was sinister, and there were seven or eight men dressed in different costumes at the front. Two of them were gray-haired and not young.

"The five elders of the Wen family of the Shiliang faction?"

After Zhao Heng saw these two old men, he recognized each other's identities and was taken aback. He didn't expect that the nobles in Jinling City would actually have a relationship with the Shiliang faction.

"Master Zhao, do you recognize these two people?" Feng Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked ahead.
