Chapter 351 It's all Tai Chi

Taiyuan Prefecture is cold and cold, but the soldiers stood still on the school ground. Only with the swing of the flag, the soldiers who were originally standing like wooden plastic suddenly became alive, rolling towards the designated attack location like a tide.

Now Zhang Yin has been promoted to commander of the Three Guards of Taiyuan. Zhang Yin governed the army strictly and ordered it to go down like a mountain. Since a guard was whipped in public and handcuffed for three days for delaying the military order, the army has abide by the order Zhang and no one dared to disobey and delay.

Zhang Yin sat upright on the horse, the camp, the cavalry camp, the chariot camp, the baggage camp, and the cannon camp were trained in turn. The chariot and cavalry melee camp was the most sharp. There were 128 chariots, each with two 100-step killing cannons, 4 muskets, and 4 rocketmen. Once they charged, they charged with fully armed chariots. Within a hundred steps, iron sand was crisscrossed, and then they rushed in with light cavalry. Finally, the infantry was strong enough to withstand the three-wheeled attack of the Mongolian Iron Cavalry.

If the Ming army had all had such configurations, it would be enough to fight against the Mongolian cavalry on the plains. However, due to the mobility reasons, such equipment is suitable for defense and decisive battles. If it is used for offense and is dragged by the Mongols on the boundless grassland, it would be a different matter.

In the smoke of war, a cavalry flew over to Zhang Yin, and whispered a few times. Zhang Yin raised his hand and waved his hand and summoned the central officer and said, "I'll stop here today and withdraw my troops and return to the camp!"

The flag was raised, and the army that was fighting and charging suddenly became quiet. The army began to retreat in an orderly manner, and the whole team quickly formed a square formation. Zhang Yin nodded with satisfaction: Such an army is the army of tigers and wolves. The so-called incense army he organized during the rebellion in Shaanxi was really difficult to compete with such elite soldiers.

Li Fuda, the leader of Maitreya, initially took the poor route, developed forces in the countryside and accumulated momentum to rebel, but unfortunately failed repeatedly. Finally, he left with the money he had plundered and the elites in the sect, took a different approach, and began to take the upper level route, luring some high-ranking officials and nobles into the sect, and arranged for elites in the sect to mingle with the Ming court. So far, the progress was smooth.

Li Fuda was ecstatic about this, thinking that he had finally found a way to quickly expand his power and compete with the court, but this road was also protracted. At least so far, although he could enforce orders and make the entire army bow down and obey orders, he was not sure whether these elite soldiers would still sacrifice their lives to follow once they raised the flag to rebel.

The army returned to the camp in a whole team. Li Fuda, the pseudonym Zhang Yindi, took the lead and led his personal soldiers and guards out of the schoolyard. He returned to the camp first.

"Sir, the military pay has been paid almost a month and a half late. The army is full of complaints. Yesterday, Guan Commander beat more than ten soldiers to suppress the commotion. However, the soldiers' dissatisfaction is still increasing." The speaker was Zhang Yin's personal soldiers. His close guards were all trained from the Maitreya Sect since childhood. They were loyal and skilled in martial arts, but although there were no one around them. They were used to the name of the army. In order to make a mistake, they called the title of the leader, regardless of whether they were in front of others or behind them, they would be called the adults.

Zhang Yin said: "Press up for another three days, and then pay the money!"

"Yes! Last time, the military officer paid the salary for a month, and when the military officer paid the salary, he said that the salary was deducted by the court. This time, the place of the post was 500 taels, which were your private pockets. The officers and soldiers were very grateful. This time, they paid for a month and a half, and I believe you, the soldiers and soldiers were just complaining and there was no abnormal movement."

Zhang Yin smiled slightly and did not make any comments. It is naturally easy to find some excuses to delay the payment of the money. Moreover, the military officer is also his. The Ming Dynasty has not yet been exhausted and people have not lost their hearts. If you want to gain the absolute support of the soldiers, you still need to make all kinds of efforts. There is no need to tell any big truth to these ordinary soldiers. They only focus on mouth food. If you eat a bite, one or two money food, that is the morale of the military.

When he arrived at the central army tent, Zhang Yin jumped off his horse. A guard next to him immediately flashed over and took the reins of the horse. The guard who had just reported the news whispered: "Sir, the great master is waiting in your study."

Zhang Yin nodded slightly, but a hint of nervousness flashed in his eyes unexpectedly.

After entering the study after the central army's tent, a thin old man with a green cloth cotton robe was sitting on a chair drinking tea. This person was Li Dayi's Diye Master Xiao Yueshu, who had participated in the plan to kill Emperor Zhengde in Datong.

Seeing Zhang Yin coming in, he quickly stood up and bowed: "I have seen the leader!"

Zhang Yin closed the door with a roll of sleeves, waved his hand and said, "Yu Shu is back, there is no need to be polite, sit down!"

He walked to the man in the green robe to sit down, clenched his five fingers and said calmly: "How is it? Is there any news of righteousness?"

Although Zhang Yin had a deep cultivation and a very cunning life, when asked about his biological son's life and death, his voice still couldn't help but tremble. He quickly calmed down, raised his glass to pour a cup of tea for himself, and sipped a sip to calm his mind.

The great wizard Xiao Yueshu looked dim and whispered: "I went to inquire about the news everywhere. In order to get the accurate letter, I rushed to Sichuan to ask some people present at that time. Although the government issued a notice that the second young master... the second young master has been sentenced to death, no one has ever seen his body. No one in this sect has received news or signals from the second young master. The second young master... the second young master has been missing since he robbed his horse in Zhaojue Temple..."

Zhang Yin's face was slightly pale. He was stunned for a while before he smiled and said with a dismal smile: "He went to kill Yang Ling, because he must have tried to relieve my anger. He failed and ran away with his wounds. Maybe... maybe... he was discouraged and lived in seclusion with the Liu family's child, so maybe..."

A generation of heroes looked bright and tears faintly appeared. Obviously, he didn't believe his words. It was just that among the three sons, he loved his second son the most, and it was really hard to accept the fact that his beloved son died in his heart.

Li Dayi returned to Datong against his order and sacrificed a large number of people to save an irrelevant woman. This was an unbearable mistake for an ambitious hero, even if it was his son. If things happened again, he would still punish Li Dayi according to the rules, but as a father, he could not do a stern heart.

Seeing Zhang Yin's face, Xiao Yueshu didn't dare to answer the words again, so he quickly changed the topic and said, "I left Sichuan, went east along the river, and headed north along the waterway. When I came back from Shandong, the situation in Qingzhou is about to break out. Yang Hu has contacted the thieves in Taihang, and the government has not yet noticed it. It seems that Yang Hu is about to do something."

When Zhang Yin mentioned this, he was excited and woke up from his sadness. He smiled coldly and said, "It seems that I underestimated Yang Hu. This man was even pulled out of the mountain gate, but he could start the stove again and make a comeback quickly. Hey! Hey, he is a burnt firewood."

Xiao Yueshu also made a smile by his words. He said: "As the saying goes, the times create heroes, and the people of Shandong are suffering from being cheated by corrupt officials, and life has never been easy. Qingzhou hunters helped the government to catch tigers a few days ago, but many people were bitten to death by tigers but did not receive pensions. The matter was very big, and then they were suppressed by blood. They were angry, hatred and depressed, and they had long wanted to rebel, but they just lacked a leader. Yang Hu just took advantage of the situation."

Zhang Yin said seriously: "Otherwise, Yang Hu would not be stupid if he could take advantage of the situation. If Qingzhou was not like this, would Yang Hu move his troops to Qingzhou? Can he still gain a foothold so quickly to conquer the people's hearts? This person is scheming and capable. But if he sees nothing, it would be wrong. Our people have already been infiltrated?"

Xiao Yueshu said respectfully: "Yes, after receiving the instructions from the leader, the three elders who were preaching in Qingzhou donated all their property as local gentry and joined Yang Hu's "Yi" army, so he valued it very much.

However... my subordinates don't understand that our power in Qingzhou has been exposed, and the three elders have absorbed the land clans and the wealth accumulated is not small. Is this kind of land worth it? If anyone like Yang Hu can accomplish anything, then isn't it much better to call the Xiang army to raise an army directly than to support him?"

Zhang Yin shook his head slightly. He was originally superstitious about the ability of the people to rebel, thinking that he could successfully recruit religious scholars and call him up, just like the Ming Cult who fought against the Yuan Dynasty and successfully won the world. However, since the Shaanxi General Assembly was cleared by the government, he did not think that it was his uncle and he was not prepared enough. Moreover, there were traitors who reported it at that time. He was defeated by the officers and soldiers, but he thought it was the peasant army vulnerable. Instead, he was superstitious about subverting it from within the Ming Dynasty.

Especially after he served as the commander of the Taiyuan Guard, his territory was the elite Ming border army. Zhang Yin felt that the peasant rebel army, who had never been systematically trained, could not forcefully compete with the government.

Zhang Yin smiled contemptuously and said, "No, our original plan remains unchanged. We will still strive to get Ning to get the throne, and then provoke internal struggles among the Zhu royal family and replace it in the chaos. However, the emperor is a young man now. Since Bai Dengshan was attacked by the rebellion and Jieyu revealed his identity, he has been more vigilant around him, and it is difficult to find another opportunity to assassinate. It seems that there is no way to get Ning to get the throne.

King Ning has just obtained the three guards, and Daren is helping him train his army. If the situation is going to improve today, if King Ning spends three or five years and trains his troops, the world will be rich and stable in the Ming Dynasty. At that time, Zi has grown up and is in the prime of the Spring and Autumn Period. If we want to win the world again, we will have to wait for hundreds of years.

Yang Hu rebelled, and although he chose a place where the people were prone to follow, there were heavy border troops in the northeast, with no support to the sea in the east, and hundreds of thousands of troops in the capital in the west. I guess if he was uprising, he would not be able to support him for three months. If we don’t lend him some people, horses, money and food, how could he disrupt the Ming Dynasty for me?"

Zhang Yin put down the teacup and walked slowly in the room. Xiao Yueshu also stood up. Zhang Yin stopped and stood with his hands behind his back, saying slowly: "Heroic people can be achieved by the momentum of the world. There is no way to achieve the momentum of the world. However, heroic people often enter the gap because of their gap, perseverance and unchange. Therefore, the momentum of the world can be achieved and cannot be solved.

Yang Hu is taking advantage of the power of Qingzhou, and we are taking advantage of the power of Yang Hu. Haha, the court has nine tripods, and the world has nine provinces. Qingzhou is one of the ancient nine provinces. Maybe this Yang Hu can really leverage the nine tripods for us, disrupt the corner of the nine provinces, buy us time and create opportunities."

Xiao Yueshu said worriedly: "I'm afraid that raising a tiger is a disaster. Even if Yang Hu is not worth worrying, if Yang Hu can really accomplish great things under our secret support, we will have to go through some trouble if we want to get rid of him. Since the leader decided to support King Ning first, then lead the vassals to attack him and take advantage of the chaos to make profits. With Yang Hu, a powerful enemy, on his side, this idea is unlikely to be fulfilled."

A cold light flashed in Zhang Yin's eyes and said with a faint smile: "This... I naturally thought about it. Not only did I give Yang Hu a lot of ready-made soldiers and horses, food and grass, in order to help this group of grassroots accomplish things, I also prepared another gift for him. Can this gift be used for the tiger now, and you can knock off the tiger's teeth in the future and replace it!"

A big gift?

Li Dali?

Xiao Yueshu's heart flashed. Fang wanted to speak, and saw Zhang Yin's arrogant expression. He swallowed the words "Three Young Master" that rushed to his mouth. He lowered his head and said respectfully: "Yes, the leader has made all plans. Uh... When his subordinate came back, Yang Ling was searching the mansion of an official in Bazhou. Somehow, four local charlatans offended him. He was burned to death by his plan. Yang Ling had to stay in Bazhou for a while. This person repeatedly ruined the major affairs of this sect. Now that he is a Duke, he has fewer minions around him. Should he... send some people to kill him?"

Zhang Yin's face darkened again. He knew that this was Xiao Yueshu who wanted to avenge Dayi. He was Dayi's master and had been running around for the great cause of the Holy Church for so many years. Dayi had been with Xiao Yueshu for longer than by his side. The two of them were really like father and son.

Furthermore, in terms of personal future, Xiao Yueshu is one of the four chief masters of this sect, and his status cannot be improved anymore. Only when Li Dayi becomes the leader can he be superior to the other three masters. Once he gains the world, he can also be granted a king and a marquis and a great minister. Once Dayi dies, it is equivalent to severing his future. His hatred for Yang Ling is no less than himself.

Zhang Yin thought for a moment and shook his head and said, "No, this is the time and there is a moment, Yang Ling cannot kill now. Now, we must try our best to urge Yang Hu to raise an army as soon as possible to create opportunities for us. If Yang Ling dies, the court will inevitably lead to the world. Maybe Yang Hu will not be able to get out of the Taihang Mountains and cannot take this risk. Yang Ling has become a Duke and it is difficult to interfere in the government affairs. If we want to do big things, we cannot be petty about these personal grievances."

He turned around and saw that Xiao Yueshu was still unwilling to accept his expression, so he patted his shoulder and said warmly: "If you want to take revenge, we will take over the country of Ming Dynasty. Revenge this revenge thoroughly. To achieve great things, we must know how to judge the situation and use the situation. We must not lose the big picture because of small things. Compared with this country, what is Yang Ling?"

"What is Yangling? Don't be dissatisfied. Let you go to Datong. Can you beat Boyan's fire to sieve 70,000 iron cavalry and escape, leaving behind more than 10,000 corpses? They attacked the border every year. From Yongle to now, many famous generals have encountered more than a hundred years of experience, and have never suffered a great loss.

Besides, in Jiangnan, the little dwarfs in Japan also pulled sails along the wind every year and ran ashore to make trouble. This was a hundred years of trouble. The more the trouble it was, the more they were, and they couldn't kill them. How long did Yangling take to uproot them? Brother Zhang bought four Japanese ladies to serve him. Isn't it just the wives and daughters of the Japanese? They used to be the ones who were kidnapped by us.

There is also Sichuan. I heard that all the men, women, young and old are all in total, with a total of 200,000 people relying on the dangerous mountains of forests. The Ming Dynasty sent 200,000 troops, but they could not even attack the mountain pass. They blocked the mountain pass for three years, and died of 50,000 or 60,000 officers and soldiers. They couldn't do anything about it. How many people did Yang Ling lead and how long did it take to destroy them? These are all a century-old store. If you don't agree, you can do it?"

"Evil, brother, your Zhang family is also a century-old store. What's wrong with him? "Feng Lei said with a chubby smile.

Xing Laohu was wearing a purple flower burqa and a melon-shaped hat. There were two furry ears on both sides of the hat. He sat cross-legged on the kang like a rich man and said, "I heard that his word "六nian" is called Wannian. Yes, the emperor gave him land."

Liu Qi slapped the table with a "bang" and pointed at his nose and cursed: "If the emperor gives him a word called Wu Song, you will be beaten to death by him sooner or later!"

Xing Laohu handed his hands in his sleeves, lifted it up and wiped his nose with his sleeves, and stopped talking.

Feng Lei laughed: "Xing's sister-in-law happened to be surnamed Pan."

Xing Laohu rolled his eyes and rolled his eyes. The funny face, two round small eyes, and a red garlic nose, looked very funny.

The weather is still cold, and his hidden house is westward. There is no sun in the sun all day long. There is no warm wall in the house. The fire pit below burns hot. If you don’t have a pad, you will burn your butt, but the air above is so cold that it choked. Xing Laohu’s name is Xin, but it is the main person who doesn’t touch alcohol, so the tip of his nose is frozen and red.

Liu Qi cursed angrily: "Damn it, Yang Ling has caught all the charlatans in Bazhou. Now you two pretend to be a god. If he calls him Wannian, he will defeat him for a hundred years. You...you..."

Liu Liu picked up the big bowl and drank a sip of wine, grabbed a lamb leg and tore the meat and chewed it in big mouthfuls. He said vaguely: "Don't make a noise, my brother said something is reasonable. Why are we robbing the house? For the sake of the popular and spicy food, if we can really become officials, and from now on, life will be worse and worse?

You think that if you live a good life, this kind of official is better than being a thief secretly? You have seen the officials' homes. We have robbed them, but they don't. But the wealth in the family is enough for us to rob them for the rest of our lives. Brother. Make it clear, the court really does not blame us, and you are willing to be an official?"

Zhang Mao nodded and said, "Duke Wei Guo, what he said in public is still credible. Duke Wei Guo promised that as long as you surrender, you will forgive all your previous crimes and be assigned to the guerrillas in Bazhou. Each person will be at least 100 households, and then reward them for their achievements in the future.

The eldest brother is not a person who is afraid of death. He just thought that being a thief is not a long-term solution after all, and it is an opportunity to have the opportunity to become an official. Besides, Bazhou is cleaned up by him, and our existence has been discovered by the court. Even if it is not caught this time, life will not be easy in the future. Heroes all come from the situation and come from time to time. This is a rare opportunity."

He picked up the glass of wine and said calmly: "What should I do? You guys will discuss it before you can talk about it. No matter what, I have to go back. My cousin and my two sons are remanded in prison. Don't worry. If you refuse, my brother will not blame you. He should have made a plan to hit the neck. He will poke it calmly for his brother and will never frown."

Liu Liu frowned and said, "Brother, don't say such despicable words. You are taking us to be officials, not to behead us. Two of the four major enemies of the East China Sea really surrendered to the court. They are now in high-ranking officials in a province. We have heard of this, well... I think I can go to meet Yang Ling and talk in person."

He was the head of these people. He decided at once. All the people stopped smiling and turned a little awe-inspiring. Liu Qi calculated and said, "Brother, we are talking about horse thieves. The capital is just to make people unable to touch the details. The government has a headache. If we say that the capital is not as strong as the four major bandits of the East China Sea. I heard that the four bandits of the East China Sea were delayed and the sea dogs were robbed of their nests. However, the snow cat took people to Fuzhou and was rumored to be rebelled before being wiped out.

After leaving his old nest, he ran to Fuzhou City to rebel. My brothers always felt that this was a bit mysterious. Maybe he saw Duke Wei, but his sincerity was not as real as Wang Meiren and Bai Xiaocao, so he was destroyed by Yang Ling. How can a person who cut more than a thousand heads in one go? Even if we want to go, we have to be careful."

Liu Liu rolled his eyes and asked, "What do you mean?"

Liu Qi said: "Leave one person and leave a group of people. In this way, if the court really uses us, then we will no longer be a thief. What if we are trying to swear and try to mercenate us slowly after we have sex? With this secret chess, we will not be able to control all the details in the hands of the government and make the ground move."

Liu Liu's eyes lit up and he said, "Yes, this plan is very good. You can attack when you advance, and you can defend when you retreat. It is right to keep your back."

Xing Laohu wiped his nose again and asked, "Leave all the people to support him, yes, who will stay?"

When he asked, the few people were stunned. Then they thought of an important question: If you seek refuge in the government, you must become an official. The people who stayed will definitely lose this opportunity. You will never be an official who has been a year or two. If you admit it to the court, you will still have a group of people. Let the court give it another official? As an official... who stays?

Several people looked at each other and were speechless for a moment. These heroic men were not afraid of life and death, but they also valued loyalty. However, such a major event that concerns one's life cannot be without any personal considerations.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little awkward, Feng Lei slapped his chest and said, "I'll do it! I'll stay!"

Liu Qi shook his head and said, "You can't do it. When you robbed the prison cart, you were already exposed. The officers and soldiers knew that there was a man named Feng Lei."

Xing Laohu sniffed and said slowly: "Actually, no matter who stays, I believe that there will be no objection to us brothers. For me, we have already purchased a hundred acres of land. Even if we don't become officials and become a gentry, I am content. The question is, the people who stay in the land cannot be divided into the fields, and they are also black households. These things will never be seen. Will the sufferings agree? They are all brothers who accompany us to have sex for the sake of stuttering and eating. How can they appease them?"

Liu Liu frowned: Yes, each of these people has a considerable family possession. In fact, the real problem is how to make those subordinates willing to sacrifice. Most of these people take the family with their families and do horse thieves to fill their stomachs. They sacrificed their lives to make a living for the whole family. Now they are not allowed to steal, and they are not allowed to become good people. Who can afford to support so many people? What year and month will they have to raise?"

Liu Liu took a breath and said, "Forget it, this method is not feasible. It is easy for us brothers to arrange it. The difficulty is that it is impossible to appease such brothers. We brothers have always advanced and retreated together. Is it a blessing or a disaster? This time, we still advance and retreat together!"

His tiger eyes swept, "It's settled, tomorrow morning. Feng Lei and I will go to Bazhou to meet Yang Ling, Duke Wei of the State. If he is indeed sincere and agree on the terms, Xiao Qi. You and Lao Hu will take your brothers into the city and accept the revenge!"

The specifications and forms of building lands in various places will vary according to the rich and poor and folk customs of different places, but the lobby is almost printed on the same mold. The only difference is that the size of the lobby is different depending on the size of the yamen.

The lobby is where the case is asked; the second hall is where the service is located; the third hall is also where the case is asked, but it is only used for secret court hearings. Major and injurious criminal cases are interrogated in the three halls, and it is usually prohibited to listen to it.

Early in the morning, Bazhou Prefecture interrogated the criminals, and all in and out of the three halls were in the three halls. The corruption of officials was publicly announced to the people and the people were their crimes. The court had to take good care of the decency. It was rare to interrogate corrupt officials to allow the people to listen and let them explain in detail how to cheat the people and harm the people, so as not to arouse the people's anger at the court.

It was just dawn. The lights in the three halls were bright, but they were solemn. There was a sound of iron shackles, and the awe-in-the-climbing wood in the hall began to be sentenced to the sentence. All three yamen runners arrived, and soldiers were also everywhere inside and outside the hall.

The presiding judge is the new acting governor of Bazhou. It was a little cold in the morning. In addition, he was nervous. Lord Mu's face turned blue. He said one by one. His legs were a little soft, his face began to turn blue, and he was really a little cunning. The arrows of the word "slash" were thrown by him so weak.

On the left and right, two people stood solemnly on the left. The man on the left was wearing a robe, with a squinted eyebrows, a big mouth and a squinted eagle's nose. He was very cold and warm, but at first glance, it made people feel fearful. A new Bazhou Promoter Hua Yu was a new leader. On the right, he had a chain armor, a red tassel helmet, and a saber. He was thin and had high cheekbones, and a sarcastic look on his face. He was a general under the command of the Bazhou guerrilla general.

These two evil spirits, coupled with the Magistrate Mu in the middle, with no human expression on his face, two rows of yamen runners holding big sticks in their hands, and dozens of soldiers holding guns and swords, made a small three hall like the Hall of Yama.

Outside, officers and soldiers were even lined up at the gate. The main streets of Bazhou City were covered with soldiers standing guard. The inspectors were walking around with geese-feathered swords. They were usually deserted and surrounded by white cloth today. The three-level officers and soldiers and the one-sided swords quickly made the surrounds the circumference of the circumference. The people knew something was wrong.

The news spread quickly, and countless people crawled out of the hot bed and went to the street to inquire about the news. Such a big battle, wouldn’t it be that people were going to kill? Who could they kill if they wanted to kill? Are those greedy officials who were not consciences? Didn’t the emperor kill people all in the autumn? Those were all high-ranking officials, so they killed them so quickly?

When the first ray of bright sunlight shone on the ground, a commotion came from a distance. The wooden prison van that had not been oiled for a long time made a sour sound, it was really a killing corrupt officials! The first prison van was Zhang Feishai, the eunuch of the Bazhou custody; the second prison van was Fan Heixin, the governor of Bazhou; the third..., a blood-red arrow with the word "Zhou" was inserted behind the neck of every person with a terrifying face.
To be continued...
