Chongzhen Undergraduates

Wang Yingxiong reached out to block Fan Yiheng's words, he had his own considerations.And from Wang Yingxiong's point of view, his method is absolutely foolproof.

"Don't panic, I guess the imperial court has no time to take care of Yunguichuan. Zhang Xianzhong's troops are not easy to mess with. Without the assistance of our 10,000+ army, the emperor wants to use the tens of thousands of new recruits on the stone pillars to wipe out the thieves? It's simply wishful thinking."

Civil servants basically have a common problem, most of them think they are very smart.All of these scholars have been academic masters since they were young, so in the eyes of these people, no one in the world can surpass them in intelligence.

They are egotistical, cocky, and self-confident.So they feel that they can play with everyone and applaud them, and in the end they are constantly trying to find a political opponent for themselves. This kind of thinking is deeply rooted in their bones.

"Master, what should we do if the emperor sends people from Nanjing to the southwest?" Fan Yiheng was also a Jinshi, but he didn't have the opportunity to enter the capital to become a capital official, and he didn't have Wang Yingxiong's morality.

"The imperial court will only send a few people here at most, and can they change the entire Southwest? Isn't it up to us to decide on the Southwest?"

In Wang Yingxiong's opinion, it is impossible for Nanjing to send hundreds or even thousands of officials to the southwest at once, and such a thing has never been heard before.He believed that the so-called high officials of the imperial court were nothing more than one or two high officials like Lu Daqi coming over.

For Lu Daqi, Wang Yingxiong completely despised him. When he was the elder of the cabinet and minister of the Ministry of Rites, Lu Daqi was just a governor of Gansu.

"What the supervisor means is that we will be obedient and obedient, and when the time comes, we will take Lu Daqi out of the way and control the military power instead?" Fan Yiheng felt that Wang Yingxiong's method was really clever, so they were still the local emperors of the Southwest.

"On my territory, can I still let them decide?" Wang Yingxiong stroked his beard very proudly.

Almost all the gentry and bureaucratic groups in central Sichuan were concentrated in Zunyi, and Wang Yingxiong felt that he had completely taken the initiative based on this alone.He, Wang Yingxiong, is the reborn parents of these people, how could these people not listen to him?

And Wang Yingxiong has more than this card in his hand. Yang Zhan from Jiading (Leshan), Fan Wenguang from Xuzhou (Yibin), Pi Xiong from Tongren, Wang Xiang from Renhuai, etc. add up to more than [-] people. Wang Yingxiong feels that relying on these Soldiers and horses, Qin Liangyu's Xinchuan army can't stand it at all, what can he do?

At the end of the winter of the 19th year of Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, Lu Daqi and Mu Tianbo led the [-] Yunnan Army to the outside of Zunyi City, and Lu Daqi took over the Governor's Mansion.

In front of everyone, Wang Yingxiong pretended to give the governor's seal to Lu Daqi, and pretended to retire and return home.

"My lord, I am acting on behalf of the emperor, please forgive me." From the bottom of his heart, Lu Daqi did not want to offend Wang Yingxiong.

Everyone was from Donglin, and Lu Daqi's influence was even smaller than Wang Yingxiong's. In addition, Wang Yingxiong's current behavior made Lu Daqi feel that Zhu Youjian was suspicious.

"Your Majesty Lu, you are polite. Mr. Wang is old, so he should have taken off his burden long ago. This is the world for you young people." Wang Yingxiong can completely sell his old age, and his Jinshi was 15 years earlier than Lu Daqi.

"Then the official is going to read the emperor's will?" Lu Daqi was very embarrassed, thinking that Zhu Youjian had sent an imperial order a few days ago, and the meaning was completely incomprehensible to him.

"Lord Lu just proclaims the decree, and Wang will not refuse." Wang Yingxiong said with a smile, as if he was a dying old man who was harmless to humans and animals.

Chapter 3 and Four: Sliding Pole Army

Wang Yingxiong thought that Zhu Youjian's imperial decree would allow Lu Daqi to replace him as governor, and he had already planned for this.

However, the imperial decree brought by Lu Daqi made Lu Daqi Governor Yungui place Zunyi under the jurisdiction of Guizhou.In addition, a governor of Sichuan was established separately, and Wang Yingxiong was appointed as the governor of Chongqing.

In fact, Zhu Youjian did not tell Lu Daqi that he had arrived in Chongqing, and Lu Daqi was even secretly relieved after seeing the imperial decree, no matter how he did not offend this Wang Yingxiong.

Wang Yingxiong was taken aback after hearing the imperial decree, he didn't know whether to be happy or sad.Wang Yingxiong ran to Zunyi because he didn't dare to fight and hid here to avoid the war. If he wanted to fight, why would he leave Chongqing.This should be sad.

However, all the troops under his control were along the Yangtze River in southern Sichuan. Letting him go to Chongqing did not mean to take away his power from the outside, but instead strengthened Shizhu's troops to him.This should be hi.

Moreover, Zhu Youjian's arrangement is very strange. This is to leave Tongren's fur bear in Guizhou, but let Wang Yingxiong's confidant Wang Xiang follow Wang Yingxiong to the north.The imperial decree made it very clear that the imperial court was going to concentrate its elite troops to wipe out the thieves, so it needed the most capable generals.

"Master, what does the emperor mean?" After receiving the imperial edict, Fan Yiheng hurriedly went to Wang Yingxiong for advice on how to deal with it.

"It's nothing more than wanting us to fight Zhang Xianzhong!" Wang Yingxiong sneered. He has been in the court for many years and knows the court's extravagant thoughts.It's nothing more than using the local real power to work for the imperial court. I don't know how many years I have been playing this game.

"Then shall we go?" Fan Yiheng hurriedly answered the question.

"Of course we're going. When we went to Chongqing, we took over the Xinchuan Army, which just happened to increase our strength." Wang Yingxiong had already made up his mind, and he also got some information about the Xinchuan Army.

Wang Yingxiong knew that the so-called Xinchuan Army was based on only 10,000 to [-] imperial court camps, and the rest were still Qin Liangyu's subordinates and some chieftain soldiers.He can't control these armies with his [-]+ subordinates.

"What about Tongren's fur bear? Just give it to Mu Tianbo?" Fan Yiheng himself has few people under his command, he is like a vicious wolf now, he wants to eat as long as it is a soldier.

"You need to keep your eyelids a little farther away. When you arrive in Chongqing, I will let you lead Shizhu's white soldiers." Wang Yingxiong despised Fan Yiheng for a moment. In his opinion, Zhu Youjian made a foolish move. A golden opportunity for him to grow.

When Wang Yingxiong went to Chongqing, of course he had to bring his confidant Wang Xiang and [-] troops under Wang Xiang's command. This was the most reliable strength in his heart.

Wang Yingxiong took Wang Xiang on the road quickly, and they almost emptied more than half of Zunyi City as if they were moving house.

Lu Daqi stood at the north city gate and looked at the group of people going away, and shook his head helplessly.

"Prince Mu, are these Wang Yingxiong's property?" Lu Daqi asked, pointing to the supplies transported by countless Yunnan horse and camel teams.

"I've asked. Not all of these things belong to Wang Yingxiong, and many of them belong to those big families in central Sichuan. They almost robbed all the mules and horses in Guizhou. Look, where is the army marching? A bunch of rich people are moving."

The rich men in the south of the Yangtze River either moved by horse-drawn carriage or by boat.But in this area of ​​Yunnan and Guizhou, horse-drawn carriages are not available at all. The rich people here travel by carrying sedan chairs, also called sliding poles.

After leaving Zunyi Mansion and going to Loushan Pass, the road was relatively easy, and the team had just set off, and all the gentry and officials had strength.Everyone purely regarded this trip to the north as a winter trip.

But after entering Loushan Pass, these people couldn't stand it anymore.They are usually used to enjoying the blessings, so how can they bear the pain of bumps.

When crossing Loushan Pass, the team gambled for three full days, and the whole traffic jam was worse than the traffic jam in the magic capital of later generations.

Naturally, Wang Yingxiong crossed Loushan Pass to Tongzi smoothly, but all his luggage was blocked at Loushan Pass.

"Master Supervisor, hurry up and get people to recruit civilian husbands. If this continues, I don't know how many people will starve to death in Loushan Pass." Fan Yiheng reported anxiously, sweating profusely.

Wang Yingxiong was taken aback. They ran smoothly from Sichuan to Zunyi. Why are they stuck here now?

Wang Yingxiong didn't know that when they fled south, they didn't run there in a large group, but gathered so many rich people from central Sichuan one after another.Now that he is going to Chongqing to become a high official officially conferred by the court, these people all expect to follow him back to Sichuan.

"Have you heard? The imperial court is going to wipe out the thieves on a large scale. Mr. Wang is the supervisor and leads 20 million heavenly soldiers." This is something that all the squires know.

"Then let's quickly take our belongings and go to Chongqing with the supervisor. I don't know how my family has been ruined by the thieves. I have to go back and see."

"But I was shopping in Tongzi just now, why did all the untouchables here run away?"

"Can you not run away? I heard that when Wang Xiang's men came to Zunyi, they caused disasters all the way. Are they stupid and waiting for the army to snatch them?"

"I just heard that Mr. Wang searched for three days in Tongzi, and recruited [-] people from the nearby mountains."

"How can this few people be enough? It is estimated that there are tens of thousands of people just lifting the sliding pole."

......

"Half a month has passed, why hasn't Wang Yingxiong arrived in Chongqing yet?" Qi Jiang and Zhu Youjian were a little impatient, they had been waiting here for Wang Yingxiong.

"Don't worry, your majesty, Wang Xiang's army marches [-] miles a day, it's just going slower." Zuo Maodi smiled.

"No matter how slow it is, it won't be half a month, right?" Zhu Youjian shook his head helplessly.

"The emperor also read the military information sent over the day before yesterday. Once Wang Xiang's army passed through Loushan Pass, all the people along the way ran away. Wang Yingxiong only arrested civilians in Tongzi for three days, and only arrested 500 people in total. arrive."

"There are more than a dozen villages and towns along the way, but they still want to arrest civilian husbands?" Zhu Youjian thought he was wrong when he saw the information at first.

"The minister is also very puzzled. Before the army is dispatched, there should be civilian husbands accompanying it. Why do you need to recruit civilian husbands halfway?" Zuo Maodi was also a little confused.

"Report! A large group of troops is coming from Zunyi. There are 3000 forwards and nearly 10 soldiers in the Chinese army. The forwards are less than fifty miles away."
