Come to Daming with military supplies

Soon, the noisy street became quiet again.If someone passed by here at this time, they would never have thought that dozens of officials had been beaten here just now.

Yang Wu and the others were still staring wide-eyed, waiting for the "enemy" to come. According to their thinking, more than 20 yamen servants they sent suddenly disappeared. It is reasonable for Wei Hui to make some moves.

Regrettably, one night passed, and when the sky began to light up to herald the arrival of a new day, there was still no movement, which made Yang Wu really disappointed.

Besides, Qi Zhai, Qi Bushen's mansion, early in the morning, he was still sleeping with his concubine in his arms, when the housekeeper suddenly yelled outside, "Master, it's not good! It's not good ,master."

"What's going on?" Qi Bushen, who was awakened from the dream, got up from the bed with a displeased face, put on a piece of clothing casually, opened the door of the bedroom, and then asked the housekeeper who was yelling outside. with. "Master is fine, but you are the one who disturbed people's dreams early in the morning. What do you want to do? Tell you, if you don't give me a reason, I won't spare you today"

"My master is not well. Niu Zhi and the others didn't come back all night, and I don't know where they went? They couldn't be killed by those people." The housekeeper didn't listen to what Qi Bushen had to say. Said with a panicked face.

Last night, after arranging Niu Zhi's errand, he came back to sleep.It wasn't the first time he had done such an errand, he just had to issue an order and get up in the morning to see the result.But when he went to the government office in the morning, he realized that more than 20 people including Niu Zhi disappeared as if the world had evaporated.The remaining yamen servants thought that Niu Tuotou was doing some important business and needed to go far away, so they didn't see anyone all night and didn't report.

After the butler heard the news, he panicked immediately.The other courtyard of the Chang family is in the city of Hangzhou. Speaking of which, it is not far from the government office, and it will not take half a year at most. How could it be possible that he did not come back all night?

His intuition told him that something must have happened.At that moment, he ran and crawled back to the Qi mansion, and woke up the master.Originally, Qi Bushen still had a look of anger on his face, but after hearing the words of the housekeeper, he froze there like a thunderbolt. It wasn't until a few breaths passed that he realized it, and exclaimed loudly, "This How is it possible, how is it possible."

"Master, it's absolutely true. Those people must be daring. Master, it's been one night, and no one knows what will happen. Otherwise, let's report to the police." The frightened butler stood there incoherently. Some tremblingly put forward their own suggestions.

"Report to the official? You bastard, the master is the official." Qi Bushen, who was so angry at this sentence, couldn't help cursing again.

"No, no! My lord, the small thing is to report to the Hangzhou Guards and let them send troops into the city. Maybe only when they show up can those daring criminals be suppressed." The butler consciously made a slip of the tongue and corrected it. Talking hastily.

After this reminder, Qi Bushen's flustered expression flashed with joy, but then he shook his head again, "No! No. It's a serious matter, and we need to investigate it first. If it's a misunderstanding, it will become Big joke."

Once Hangzhou Wei was alarmed and the army was mobilized, the matter would inevitably be reported to Nanjing. If the emperor and the court were really alarmed, there would be little room for change.Qi Bushen shook his head, but decided to clarify the matter first.

The so-called clarification, the matter naturally fell on the head of the housekeeper.For this task, the butler naturally had some headaches, but since the master said it, of course he didn't dare to shirk, and after agreeing to it, he rushed to the government office in a hurry.

After returning to the government office, the housekeeper ordered another twenty government servants, and four other arresters who had learned martial arts, they went straight to the other courtyard of the Chang family.This time it was broad daylight, but he didn't believe that anyone would dare to do anything to him?Of course, it's not that he didn't make preparations, he left a message in the government office when he left, that is, if he didn't come back in an hour, he would notify the master and send troops to save people.

Making preparations does not guarantee that I will not be afraid, and I still came to the Chang's other courtyard with some apprehension.Unexpectedly, the gate had already been opened here, as if he knew someone would come, and when he saw his team from a distance, a man with a smile on his face had already greeted him. "But I don't know the identity of the person who came? Please report it."

The other party was so polite, the housekeeper didn't want to rush forward, so he clasped his fists and said, "I am the housekeeper of the prefect of Hangzhou, surnamed Wu."

"Housekeeper?" The person facing him shook his head before he could finish his sentence, and then said, "With all due respect, this matter cannot be handled by you alone as a housekeeper. You should go back and call your master." Come here in person."

After speaking, the person who greeted the guests turned around and left. It could be seen that he seemed a little displeased.Butler Wu knew that his status was still a bit humble, but since he came, he couldn't ask everything clearly, so he rushed to the back of the other party and shouted, "Hey, are Niu Zhi and the others in your hands? What happened to them?"

"Niu Zhi? Hehe, you mean the man who was beaten into a pig's head. If you want to know how he is, let your master come in person." After entering the courtyard, the gate was closed.

The man was Yang Wu, who was greeted by the Sixth Young Master at the door. He thought it would be the prefect of Hangzhou. If the other party was sensible, it would not be a big deal.But the one who came was only a housekeeper, and under the unequal status, many things naturally couldn't be discussed.

Finally got the news from Niu Zhi and the others. After confirming that it was the other party's actions, the butler turned around and left. His face was no longer nervous and frightened. With this one, the opponent is dead!

An hour and a half later, the Hangzhou Guard stationed nearby moved.

Headed by [-] cavalry, followed by [-] infantry, the brigade entered Hangzhou from Nancheng, and galloped all the way on the streets, attracting waves of turmoil.

Tong Qiao, the commander of the Hangzhou Guard, has 600 people and five thousand households under his command.The first thousand households had 1120 people, and there were ten hundred households under its jurisdiction, with 112 people in each hundred households.Usually responsible for the security around Hangzhou.

It is said that they are responsible for safety, but in fact there are not many things that can really make them do it.Unless there is an enemy invading from the sea, otherwise, most of the time is just dawdling.This time, he suddenly received a request from the prefect Qi Bushen, saying that a gang of villains appeared in the city, and they even detained more than 20 officials sent by them privately, and it seemed that they had resorted to tricks.

When the news first came, Tong Qiao hadn't heard it clearly.Of course, more people still can't believe it. This is the world of Ming Dynasty. Officials represent the image of the country. How could anyone dare to attack them?Are you not afraid of the criminal law?Or is it that the person's status is extremely high, and he can do things without any scruples.

But the following news made Tong Qiao interrupt such thoughts.It was said that those gangsters lived in the other courtyard of Chang's family, a wealthy businessman in the south, and this alone made him feel relieved.

Again, the status of businessmen was still very low at that time.If he is really a person of status, how could he be willing to live in a merchant's other courtyard?That's just self-defeating.Even if he is a person without authority, Tong Qiao doesn't mind picking a soft persimmon and pinching it. It just so happens that the brothers haven't fished for a long time.By the way, that's the Chang family. I heard that the wealth is incomparable to the country.

In this way, a group of 700 members of the Ming army entered the city mightily. There were police officers from the government office waiting to lead the way, and then the group came outside the Chang's courtyard and surrounded the place.

"The front and rear doors are all guarded, and no one is allowed to slip away. After the general gives an order, everyone just rush forward. If anyone dares to resist, they will be greeted with swords and guns." Tong Qiao can be described as majestic.

Under his command, Chang's other courtyard was surrounded very quickly.Then two hundred Ming soldiers armed with swords and guns came bravely to the main gate.They formed a row of ten people, and every time they took a step forward, they would shout, not to mention that the voice was very uniform, but it had some momentum.

Chapter 338 Goodbye Kuang Ye

In the garden of the Chang family courtyard.

The small bridges and flowing water, the green grass, the charming and colorful flowers, the pavilions, the pavilions, the carved beams and painted buildings are all made by famous craftsmen.It's just a separate courtyard, and it's all so luxuriously managed. If it can be seen that the Chang family is indeed rich and powerful.

In the middle of the garden, a gazebo stands, and on the stone table below, various fruits and snacks have already been placed, and the young and the old are sitting here drinking tea and chatting.

"Lord Zhongdan, we haven't seen each other for nearly two years." On the opposite side of the table, the old man in a plain gown was smiling, speaking in a good spirit, and seemed to be in a good mood.

"Master Kuang is still handsome, I'm happy to congratulate you." Yang Chendong, who was dressed in green, was also smiling, and raised the teacup in his hand as a signal.

"Haha, Mr. Zhongdan was just joking, I have to thank you for everything. If you hadn't turned the tide on the battlefield back then, I'm afraid this old man's bones would have been buried in the ground long ago, thank you." The old man Kuang Ye also said Lifting the wine in his bosom, he sighed.

In the battle of Tumubao, because of the random command of the eunuch Wang Zhen, the army was in a state of chaos, and was defeated by the Oala army.All the courtiers died or escaped, and there was chaos.At this time, Yang Chendong, who was unremarkable in the team, stood up and rescued nine important court officials one after another, and finally rescued the besieged Emperor Yingzong Zhu Qizhen.

Among the nine important officials of the court was Kuang Ye.In the past, he was the minister of the Ministry of War of the Ming Dynasty, and now he has become the minister of the Ministry of War of the Southern Ming Dynasty. It is said that he is extremely trusted by Emperor Yingzong.This time he was ordered by the emperor to come down to check the situation of the central guards of each army. Unfortunately, he learned that Yang Chendong had returned to his hometown to worship his ancestors, so he rushed here to meet him early in the morning.

It is a coincidence, but Yang Chendong has inquired about everything a long time ago. Kuang Ye is a good old man. Although he is older, he still has abilities. It is within his plan to meet here and get some things done. .

At this moment, both of them met each other as they wished, and with the bond of saving their lives, it can be said that the host and guest had a good time.

It's just that all these harmonious scenes were disrupted by the shouts and killings outside the courtyard.

Although Kuang Ye is a bit older, he is not blind or deaf, so he can clearly hear the shouts outside.Immediately, he frowned and looked up at Yang Chendong.

Yang Chendong, who had been paying attention to Kuang Ye's actions for a long time, said with a smile: "Hehe, I was targeted by someone for some reason yesterday, and some people came to try to find bad luck for my country, but they were caught by my family. Mobilize the army."

"Nonsense, who gave them the power to mobilize the army. Guan Ying, go and have a look." Kuang Ye said with a straight face.This time he came to see Yang Chendong not just to reminisce about the past, he came with a mission.But the beggar said that he hadn't had a chance to speak yet. First, his own people lost the chain. If he made a mistake, it would directly affect his mission. How can we not make people angry?

Guan Ying, seven feet tall, has a powerful body, and his muscles seem to explode at any time. People can tell at a glance that he is a practitioner.

Of course, the reason why Kuang Ye arranged for him to go out was not only because he brought him here, he was his confidant, but more importantly, he was an official of the Ministry of War, who was appointed as a member of the Ministry of Military Affairs, and was the fifth rank.

Wuxuan Qingli Division was signed by the official, and it was an institution under the Ministry of War in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.Take charge of the grade, selection, promotion, and reward of military officers, examine the dangers of various places, and build camps respectively; manage the succession and granting of chieftain military officers inhabited by ethnic minorities.

In many cases, officials of Ming Dynasty may not be able to tell their size from their ranks. The most important thing is how much power they have.It's like the original cabinet scholar is equivalent to the emperor's private secretary, such as Xie Jin when Ming Chengzu was the fifth rank.

Don't underestimate this Genuine Fifth Rank, you can talk in front of the emperor, it is much stronger than the ordinary Fourth and Third Ranks.It seems that this Guan Ying is only the fifth-rank status, but because he is in charge of military officer promotion and meritorious service, he has great power, even the commanders of many guards and capital guards (the third rank ) also had to bow his head and smile when he saw him.

Now that the capital guards have been mobilized, it is really appropriate to send Guan Ying to have a look.

Yang Chendong was naturally aware of this, Dang even smiled, and then said politely: "It's such a trouble to Guan Yuanwailang."

"You're being polite." Guan Ying's complexion didn't change much. After saying this sentence with a serious face, he bowed to Kuang Ye before retreating.

As soon as Guan Ying left, Kuang Ye's laughter came out again, "Don't worry about being a loyal and courageous man. This person has such a temper. He is serious in speech, but he is still very serious in his work and has some ability."

"Well, being able to be taught by Mr. Kuang's side is undoubtedly a talent." Yang Chendong also smiled and flattered.Then he raised the teacup in his hand.With Guan Ying to deal with the outside affairs, he naturally wouldn't worry.

Kuang Ye also raised his teacup with a smile, took a sip and then put it down lightly, and then said: "Lord Zhongdan, the Japanese suddenly violated the border at sea a while ago and attacked Tianjin Wei. You must have heard."

"Well, the Beiming court had been arguing about this matter for a while, how could they not know." Yang Chendong seemed to nod his head casually, but in fact only he knew in his heart that Kuang Ye finally started to get to the point. .
