Lord of Ming Dynasty

After some investigation, Milin finally knew that with his ancestry, it would be difficult to defeat the Qing army.

There were many Qing soldiers and horses. Jin Shenghuan, Wang Deren and other rebels had already opened up a situation around Jiujiang and Nanchang in the east, west, north and south. It can be said that the army is strong, but now, all other places have fallen, leaving Jiujiang behind. and Nanchang, two isolated cities.

However, the Longwu Ming army transferred most of its troops to Ganzhou and wanted to clear the Qing army there first, so it has all fallen here, and even Li Chengdong's troops had to retreat to the border towns of Fuzhou Prefecture and Tingzhou Prefecture to defend.

Milin had no choice but to send someone to pass the information back to Jinhua Mansion.

Chapter 271 Find Another Way Out (Please Subscribe, Please Collect)

After receiving Milin's report, Zhang Qiang scratched his head, thinking that ten thousand alpacas had passed by, how could such a small matter be so difficult to accomplish?

After discussing with Jin Sheng, Zhu Dadian, Wei Wuji, and Zhou Porridge a few times, Zhang Qiang came to the conclusion that since Wang Deren had reached that point, he could not take Wang Deren's ideas for the time being, and had to find a way from the Longwu court.

Zhang Qiang didn't want to bring up the army to save Wang Deren, it's not worth it, mobilizing the army for a Wang Deren, what's the point of rescuing him?Is it just for his gold and silver treasures?

Although I really want to recruit him to set an example for the officials of the Longwu court, it is not worthwhile to accomplish such a goal with the deaths and injuries of so many soldiers.

So Zhang Qiang and his subordinates figured out a way to go to the Longwu court to buy people, and then let them let Jin Sheng's family out.

After delineating a circle, Zhang Qiang set his target on Qian Bingdeng. Although Qian Bingdeng was a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty, he also had helplessness, and he was quite talented.

According to the records of later generations, "Qian Bingdeng was the official of the Yanping Mansion in the Longwu Dynasty of the Southern Ming Dynasty, the head of the Fine Food Department of the Ministry of Rites in the Yongli Dynasty, and a scholar of the Imperial Academy. Later, he moved to the Imperial Academy to compile and edit the patent. In 165o AD, Guangdong and Guangdong fell, and Emperor Yongli fled from Wuzhou to Nanning. Before Qian Bingdeng could accompany him, he became a monk, and his dharma name was Xigan. After returning to his hometown, he changed his name to Chengzhi, named Yinguang, and his nickname in his later years The old man in the field. He was a writer in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, and he wrote books such as "Cangshan Pavilion Collection" and "Tianjian Collection"."

In history, he later defected to the Yongli court, and now he is still serving as the minister of the Ministry of Rites in the Longwu court after the history has changed. Such a talented person, and he is now the minister of the Ministry of Rites in the Longwu court, so Zhang Qiang's official system reform, There is also the Minister of Rites, a thriving and powerful political entity’s Minister of Rites is definitely better than the Minister of Rites of a panic-stricken and precarious court, so Zhang Qiang still thinks that this person can be won.

Now he is a member of Su Guansheng's camp, and he is firmly opposed to the Jinhua Rebels, but he is not afraid of this. I believe he can distinguish right from wrong.

So Zhang Qiang sent Milin to fight for him and asked others to cooperate with him. As for the convoy delivering supplies to Wang Deren on the way, just come back.

After receiving Zhang Qiang's order, Milin immediately turned around and returned to the front line of Tingzhou Prefecture with his troops from the Military Intelligence Department. He arranged for people to sneak into the city when the guards were lax during the day, contacted the intelligence personnel in the city, and began to buy the city gate with money. Soldiers and guards, lay the foundation for retreat.

Then Milin swaggered into the city with his men, collecting information on Qian Bingdeng and Wang Deren's soldiers guarding the gate of Jin Sheng's mansion.

At night, Milin led his men over the wall and entered Qian Bingdeng's mansion.

Qian Bingdeng hadn't fallen asleep yet, and was sighing and breathing in the study, walking back and forth with his hands behind his back. In such a critical moment for the Longwu court, how could he, as an important court official, fall asleep peacefully?

Huang Binqing, Bai Wenxuan, and even Zhang Tianlu's troops, 7 people, failed to take Ganzhou when they besieged Ganzhou. However, reinforcements from the Qing army came from Guangzhou. Mansion, repelled the reinforcements of the Qing army, but caused heavy casualties to the troops around the entire Ganzhou mansion, mourning everywhere, and the face of every official in the court was getting worse day by day.

At this time, Qian Bingdeng felt that the country was about to perish, and a deep sense of powerlessness came to his heart.

For some reason, he had a thought in his mind, "If you ask the Jinhua Rebel Army to go out, you will definitely be able to defeat the Qing army's idea of ​​driving the Qing army out of Jiangxi."

But this kind of idea was always vetoed and extinguished by him just a little bit. The Jinhua Rebel Army has now shown their ambition to set up a separate court and fight against the Nanming court. This is absolutely not allowed.

As a scholar deeply favored by the emperor, he would not allow such a situation to happen. Even if the Longwu court were to die, he would not be able to allow a Chuang Wang to reappear in Daming Jiangshan.

This is a common thought between him and Su Guansheng.

He didn't know that at this time, Jin Sheng didn't follow their ideas to lobby the Jinhua Rebels at all, gave up the idea of ​​​​separatist regimes, turned to be loyal to the court, and handed over the army to the court, but returned to the territory of the Jinhua Rebels. Jin Sheng, who has a good impression and is loyal to the Nanming Longwu court, has given up on the Longwu court because they perversely tied up his family and detained him, and turned his allegiance to Zhang Qiang.

Since Jiujiang and Nanchang were successively wiped out and captured by the Qing army, there are now two isolated cities left. Wang Deren and Jin Shenghuan's request for help came one after another, which made the entire Longwu court anxious, but there was nothing they could do. The meeting was held. After three or four days, no solution was found. The final decision was to resolutely clear the Ganzhou Mansion on the side, let Li Chengdong fight against the Qing army in the east and north, and transfer the main force to the surrounding area of ​​Ganzhou Mansion. Ganzhou Prefecture.

Under such circumstances, the entire court had forgotten Jin Sheng's purpose as an envoy, and Jin Sheng had already sent an envoy to the Jinhua Rebel Army. No one mentioned the word Jinhua Rebel Army, which is now taboo in Longwu.

Just when he was in a trance, he heard the door hinge ring, and he said without turning his head: "Madam, rest first, I'll go back to my room and go to bed later."

He didn't say anything after he finished speaking, he believed that his wife would not be so ignorant, and continued to bother him at this time.

But after he finished speaking, no one responded for a long time. He felt something was wrong, so he turned around suddenly.

I saw three big men standing at the door, not saying a word, but the door was wide open, and the corners of the clothes could be seen outside the door, but they were not from his family, but the kind of nocturnal clothes that righteous men and knights often wear. His face turned pale.

Encountered robbers who broke into a house, or, it was not a robber at all, but an enemy. As an official, there must be political enemies. Sending people to clean up political enemies is not uncommon in the Ming court.

"Strong man," he said in a low voice, scared, then stood up, took half a step back, and looked at three burly men who seemed to be strong and burly with fearful eyes. I don't know what kind of powerful weapon is contained in a bag.

Officials in ancient times, loyal or cowardly, tyrants or corrupt officials, are not like those shown on TV. When encountering such things, they are all people who are not afraid of death and want to reprimand such thugs with righteous words. , as an ordinary person, they must be afraid, and then consider themselves first, and then consider the safety of their families.

Milin stared at Qian Bingdeng with a frightening gaze, and said in a calm and stern voice: "Master Qian, I'm here to make a deal with you. I wonder if you will accept this deal?"

As a scholar and a high-ranking official, Qian Bingdeng wiped the sweat from his forehead with his wide sleeves, and said in a trembling voice: "As long as the strong man doesn't hurt his family and doesn't do anything cruel to me, I promise to do it." gone."

He didn't have the courage to confront these people head-on. That's what generals do. Peace is the most important thing, and self-preservation has always been the Chinese way of doing things.

Chapter 272 Talented and Loyal

Milin originally thought that Qian Bingdeng, who sounded great in the court and had a great reputation, would glare at him, scold him, and then, in order to show that he was not coerced, loyal and courageous, he would die , this time to increase the difficulty of his task, did not expect, what kind of soft bug did he see?

It greatly subverted his impression and expectations of these senior officials.

He brought a few elite guard soldiers into Qian Bingdiao's study to prevent Qian Bingdeng from jumping over the wall in a hurry, yelling, making it known to everyone, and affecting his mission. He didn't expect Qian Bingdeng to be so weak that he didn't speak yet. Without making a move, he softened, and the situation was worse than that of an ordinary citizen.

Can't help being disappointed, waved his hand impatiently, and said coldly: "My lord, if you think about it, you know it. It's not difficult to guess it with your intelligence. Let me bring you a sentence. Go to court tomorrow and try my best to plead with the emperor. Please let the Jin Sheng family return to the territory of the Jinhua Volunteer Army, otherwise, the warriors I left behind will kill your whole family later tomorrow and chase you to the ends of the earth."

"Yes, yes, what the general said, Qian will definitely do it, and he will never dare to be half-hearted." Qian Bingdeng's sweat flowed down like a waterfall, wet the front of the front, printed the back, and his body trembled like a shock machine.

Milin glanced at him, not wanting to talk to him any more, turned around and walked out of Qian Bingdiao's study, looked back at Qian Bingdiao inside the door, "Just rest here, after washing up tomorrow morning, when you go to court, You know what to say, otherwise dozens of people in your family are waiting to be buried with you." After finishing speaking, he said to the two guards beside him: "You watch him tonight, follow him tomorrow, and send him out after washing. After the mansion, we will close the gate of the mansion and lead the people here to guard his family. When we receive the news, we will retreat. If he does not abide by the agreement or other accidents happen, we will kill his whole family and then retreat. Waiting for you outside the city."

Qian Bingdeng waited for the crowd to leave, and he couldn't help weeping with grief from his heart. In such troubled times, even as the Minister of Rites of the Longwu court, he didn't feel how great he was. With passion and enthusiasm for loyalty, he insisted on going to court every day, doing things desperately to relieve the worries and worries in his chest, and the Longwu court was already in chaos, and he ignored the head and the tail. At such a time, suddenly appeared A strong guy told him that if he disobeyed, he would kill his whole family, which made him at a loss as to where the paradise in his mind was.

He already has the idea of ​​retreating.

After crying, he didn't dare to leave the study room, so he lay down in the study room with his clothes on, but couldn't sleep all night. The next day, he carefully opened the door of the study room, and saw two guards in black standing at the door of the study room. After a whole night, but looking back at him, his eyes were still sharp and fierce, with his hands on his waist, as if he was always ready to violently hurt someone, he couldn't help but feel breathless, quickly closed the door, then tossed and turned in the study, and turned around for a while , I don't know how to get out, or how to complete the task that the big man in black gave him yesterday.

After a while, there was a commotion in the yard. It was obvious that his family members got up and saw the fierce men in the yard yelling, but soon, their yelling turned into crying. The cry turned into faint sobbing, he couldn't bear it anymore, opened the door of the study, and walked out, the big man standing at the door didn't stop him, he saw his family and servants.

After talking for a while, the family fell silent, and he turned to the big man beside him and said, "I want to change clothes. Go up to court"

The big man in black stretched out his hand and said politely: "Master Qian, please—"

Returning to the bedroom in fear, Qian Bingdeng went up to the court after changing clothes under the service of the servants. Before leaving, he heard the big man in black remind him, "Don't forget what you promised. If you can't complete the task, then Meet your family underground!"

Qian Bingdeng decided to throw his hands away, but once he got angry, he was discouraged when he got to the point of speaking. He didn't have the guts to ignore the comfort and comfort of his family.

In the court, the ministers were arguing again and again over some trivial matters. Qian Bingdeng looked at them coldly without saying a word. At this moment, he felt that these people were the same as himself. There is no way around, no one can compete, meet each other, no one can do anything to the other, the final result is nothing, but once they encounter what he encountered last night, I am afraid that each of them will be more timid than him , Scared the shit out, maybe some people are brave, but what's the use of that?

Facing those desperadoes sent by the Jinhua Rebel Army last night, what could they do except die?Is it possible to revive the family and make the Jinhua volunteers shed a hair?

The Jinhua Rebel Army must not only have gone to their own family, they died a few people, it is nothing, it is said that the Jinhua Rebel Army has more than [-] soldiers, and they are all elite fighters, the Jinhua Rebel Army has never failed in previous battles, this is why they , the reason why he and Su Guansheng wanted to capture the soldiers of the Jinhua Rebel Army, unexpectedly, the righteousness of the court could not suppress them, sent a Jinsheng, and never came back.

He glanced at Long Wu who was sitting on the court hall. Long Wu's temper became more and more irritable, and he completely lost his shrewdness and composure. He didn't know how long such a court could last. Could he just follow this gang Is it easy for a person to die?

At this time, his mind was shaken by the incident of Jin Sheng's family.
