Dominate Marvel

Failure to keep things secret will lead to death. There are many lessons learned from ancient times. How could Mr. Zhang not make any preparations? Although several people had sympathy for each other, they were all motivated by their own interests. As soon as it was said that they could not protect each other, some people turned around and went to Zhoumu Yamen to surrender and sell him.

Therefore, the petition must be signed.

The petition listed Luo Zhi Ying Yi's "sins" in detail, and included all kinds of curses and curses. Ying Yi's descendants from the eighteenth generation of ancestors to the thirty-sixth generation of descendants were cursed all over, and they all swore to kill Ying Yi in the name of their ancestors.

When the four of them looked at it, their faces were ashen.

But looking at the calm look on that old man's face, there were faint sounds of movement around him. The four of them were all old foxes. How could they not understand the principles of "breaking a cup as a sign" and "a knife and an ax hand"?

Mr. Zhang has made it clear here that if he doesn't get on his boat, he may not be able to get out of this back hall.

The four of them had no choice but to bite their fingers, press their fingerprints, and sign their names.

"good!"

Mr. Zhang laughed: "You and I are one, as it should be."

The four people looked gloomy and remained silent.

Then I heard Mr. Zhang continue: "The old man has foreign aid and internal support. The foreign aid is the governor of water transportation, the governor of Fengyang, Huai'an, and Yangzhou affairs, the right minister of the Ministry of household affairs, the censor of You Qiandu, and Shi Daolin."

"Shi Daolin?"

One person heard this and said in surprise: "But the history of Xiangfu's people can't be punished?"

The other three people also reacted upon hearing this.

Shi Kefa, whose courtesy name was Xianzhi and whose nickname was Daolin. His ancestral home was Zhengzhou. He was born in Xiangfu County, Kaifeng. He studied under Zuo Guangdou, a veteran of Donglin. He was a Jinshi in the first year of Chongzhen.

His reputation is widely spread in Kaifeng.

Mr. Zhang nodded slightly and said quite contentedly: "Old man and Shi Daolin are old friends. The traitor Ying went against the grain and brought disaster to the country and the people. I sent a letter to someone early and got a response."

The four of them felt a little at ease after hearing this.

Shi Kefa was the governor of water transportation and had many troops under his command. If Shi Kefa comes to help, with the strength of Ying Yi's troops left in Kaifeng now, the possibility of success is not small.

"What about this insider?"

someone asked.

Mr. Zhang chuckled and stood up: "Follow me."

Then he walked all the way out of the backyard, got into a dilapidated carriage, walked through the streets and alleys, and finally arrived at the back door of the original courtyard of Prince Zhou's Mansion.

When several people got out of the car and took a look, they were surprised.

Said: "King Zhou?"

Said: "I heard that the King of Zhou has succumbed to the Ying thief, reduced his title to the king, even changed the plaque, and did not see us, I am afraid it is not safe, right?"

The other three people all looked at Mr. Zhang.

Zhang Lao smiled and said: "The surrender of the King of Zhou does not mean the submission of the Zhou Palace."

He stepped forward and knocked on the door nine times. The door opened and he saw a young man. When the boy saw it was Mr. Zhang, he hurriedly said: "It turns out to be Mr. Zhang, please come in quickly."

Boss Zhang stepped inside, and the other four followed after hesitating for a moment.

The young man led Mr. Zhang and others to find a quiet place. After a while, they came to an attic. Upon entering, he saw a middle-aged man in a brocade robe drinking tea.

The four people took a look and said, "It turns out to be the crown prince!"

The crown prince of Zhou.

When Prince Zhou saw Mr. Zhang and others arriving, he smiled slightly, waved his sleeves and said, "Please sit down."

He smiled and said: "Since you are here, you must have signed the blood letter?"

Zhang Laodao: "Your Majesty, don't worry."

The Crown Prince of Zhou nodded slightly: "The four of you are either wealthy businessmen or nobles. How sad is it that you are losing your dog now?"

One person was dissatisfied and said: "Is it possible that the fate of Prince Zhou's Mansion could be so good?"

Prince Zhou nodded: "It's really not good. Even the prince passed down from our ancestors is gone."

An attendant served tea.

The prince said: "That's why we must punish the thieves. I really don't want to see the inheritance of my ancestors fall into the hands of thieves."

One person said: "Although your prince's words are good, I have a question."

"But it doesn't matter." The prince said.

He said: "I dare to ask the prince, there are history and law for foreign aid, there are soldiers and generals for history, there is nothing to say. However, how can the bird in the cage of the prince have any internal response? Judging from the prince's appearance, I am afraid that this matter was secretly hidden from the king of Zhou. Because, if the King of Zhou knows about it..."

The prince smiled slightly: "I won't let my father know about it. As for the internal response, my father surrendered and handed over one hundred thousand hectares of fertile land, which has won the trust of the traitors. This prince still has some dignity. If Shi Kefa leads troops to attack, this Kaicheng This prince will shoulder all the affairs of the sect."

Then someone else asked: "But what if the city is destroyed? The enemy has strong soldiers and generals. If Kaifeng is lost, it may not be impossible to get it back."

The prince laughed loudly: "If Kaifeng is captured, will Hou Xun of Hebei still be able to sit still? Hou Xun, who has commanded the army of seven towns, once he crosses the south of the river, is he afraid that he will not be able to suppress Kaifeng?"

When everyone heard this, they were suddenly enlightened.

So there was no more hesitation.

The Crown Prince of Zhou then said: "The traitor is using work as relief to repair the city wall. I have already deployed people. Once something happens, we can seize the city wall immediately and open the city gate with ease. Now that you and I are on the same boat, we can't just watch. . I believe that even if they are bloodbathed by Ying's thieves, you still have some strength in your hands. You must be prepared. Once something happens, it will bloom. You must hold off Ying Yi's remaining soldiers and horses to buy time for Shi Kefa!"

So some arrangements were made in detail, and detailed strategies were not made until dark.

Finally, the Crown Prince of Zhou said: "Before the incident occurs, you must restrain yourself and make sure not to expose any clues. I will write to Shi Kefa and ask him to raise troops to attack the thieves."

...

Shi Kefa was the governor of water transportation. Although his position was not high, his responsibilities were extremely important.

Water transportation connects the north and the south and is the main channel for material exchange between the north and the south. Now that the Central Plains has been lost, the importance of water transportation has become increasingly apparent.

Since taking office, Shi Kefa has inspected water transportation and dismissed several grain supervisors in an attempt to sort out the water transportation route. However, Shi Kefa was beyond his power. Even by removing officials, it was difficult to reverse the corruption of the interest groups involved along the water transportation route.

He was the governor of water transportation. He not only had to shoulder the important task of transferring grain from the south to the north, and was responsible for the grain and fodder needs of the capital and the northern front, but he also had to guard against bandits from the Central Plains fleeing eastward. Therefore, he was very cautious and extremely urgent.

A few days ago, I heard that the Central Plains had turned upside down, and a strong general emerged from the sky and defeated the bandits. I was so happy, but I didn't expect that this man was so ambitious that he eliminated the bandits but replaced him instead. Shi Kefa is like a gleam on his back.

"If this person advances eastward, it will be very difficult to resist with his army."

Shi Kefa is thin and dark, but energetic.

Henan is nearby, and Shi Kefa knew what happened very early.

However, this person has always behaved well. Although he was worried, he could not do anything.

I got a letter from Kaifeng the day before yesterday. Knowing the details, I was even more worried, so I called in my confidants to discuss it in detail.

"The traitor Ying Yi has just settled in Kaifeng and has not yet established a firm foothold. If he can mobilize heavy troops to attack him quickly, he will surely achieve great success!" Shi Kefa's staff officer praised Yan Ermei and said: "Sir, please don't hesitate. You can quickly order Liu Zeqing, Liu Liangzuo, and Liu Zhaoji. When we attack Henan, we have internal support and there is no risk of defeat."

When Shi Kefa heard this, he looked hesitant and said: "It is reasonable to use your words, but we will not mobilize troops without orders. I, the governor of water transportation, dare to attack the thieves without permission? Why don't you wait for me to give a hint, and the emperor gives the order, then come again District.”

When Yan Ermei heard this, she moved her lips and was speechless for a while.
