The Most Powerful Man in the World

After all, Cao Shaoqin had no defense against Du Wen at all, but he was attacked by the other side.

Cao Shaoqin stared at Du Wen with a look of horror, but at this moment there were suddenly figures around him, and they were the people in the rivers and lakes who were in the side hall before.

Cao Shaoqin glanced at those people, and then looked at Mr. Daishan, Jining's prefect and others who came out of the hall. Although he couldn't tell the identities of these people, Cao Shaoqin also vaguely guessed.

I just heard Cao Shaoqin say sharply, "Are you the one who plotted against my family's superintendent?"

Mr. Daishan stroked his beard with a slight smile and said, "Chu Yi, the robber, seems to have chosen to abandon the ship in Jining and go by land, as I expected. I wonder if my guess is correct, Eunuch Cao!"

Maybe most people don't know Cao Shaoqin's identity, but Mr. Daishan is very clear about the people around Chu Yi, especially Cao Shaoqin is impressed.

Cao Shaoqin's expression changed slightly, and he glanced at Du Wen and the others and said, "If you want to murder the imperial envoy, aren't you afraid that the emperor will punish you and kill you?"

Mr. Daishan said with a bit of disdain: "The Son of Heaven committed a crime? Does he have evidence? What if he is the Son of Heaven without evidence!"

The prefect of Jining smiled slightly and said, "Xiaguan can testify that Chu Yi fell into the canal and died, with no bones left."

All the other Jining officials nodded and said, "Yes, we can also testify!"

Seeing this scene, Cao Shaoqin didn't know that Jining was a trap, so he just waited for them to crash in.

Taking a deep breath, Cao Shaoqin turned around and left. He had to bring the news here to Chu Yi. Otherwise, when they all got off the boat, under the unintentional defense, the army would besiege and kill, even Chu Yi might not be able to escape. robbery.

As soon as Cao Shaoqin moved, Jining's guard even shouted, "Stop him for me, and never let him escape."

At the same time, the Jining garrison shouted at several of his subordinates: "Immediately order the troops and horses, follow me to the pier, and destroy the water thieves!"

Even if everyone knew that they were dealing with Chu Yi, the imperial envoy, they still needed that layer of fig leaf. At least they could say that it was not Chu Yi and his party who were killed, but a group of water that broke into Jining. thief.

As the Jining garrison to lead the army to exterminate the water thieves, it is a matter of course and right. No matter where it goes, this is an unbreakable truth, even the emperor can't blame it.

"Hahaha, Lord Guardian, I wish you a great victory here, don't you want to leave any water pirates!"

Chapter 120 Three Water Transport Governor【Seeking monthly ticket】

Chen Li, Mr. Daishan, who is the core of everyone, stroked his beard, and his eyes fell on the person beside him: "Eunuch Fei, I have to trouble you to walk with Master Du!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a white-faced and beardless man walking out. Cao Shaoqin, who was surrounded by the siege, glanced at him and immediately recognized the identity of the other party.

Fei Xi, the person in charge of the East Factory's important stronghold in Jining, Cao Shaoqin did not expect the other party to be bought.

Fei Xi bowed his hands towards Chen Li and said, "Since that's the case, then the slave and maid will go to visit the Governor with Lord Du!"

Du Wen laughed loudly and said, "If Eunuch Fei accompanies him, then Chu Yi will definitely not take the slightest precaution. When the volley of arrows is fired, we will surely be famous all over the world, and the history will be remembered!"

Fei Xi nodded with a smile on his face: "In this case, our family will congratulate Mr. Du first!"

Jining's soldiers and horses have been in a state of waiting for the past few days. Originally, if this abnormality is not unexpected, it will definitely be detected by the people of Dongchang. If Chu Yi received a secret report from Dongchang, then he will definitely be aware of it. To the unusual place of Jining.

It's a pity that the principal of Jining, an important stronghold of the East Factory, was bought by these people. This means that the eyes of the East Factory in Jining are blinded. The news that Chu Yi can receive is naturally Chen Li and others. I want Chu Yi to know.

Cao Shaoqin tried to rush out several times. However, among the gangs that depended on the Grand Canal for a living, they were really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. With the cooperation of several first-class players, they were stunned to kill Cao Shaoqin and other powerhouses who had practiced the Sunflower Collection. hold on.

The rumbling sound of horses' hooves and the slightly chaotic footsteps gradually faded away. The gate of Jining city opened wide, and a group of soldiers held high torches and went straight to the pier outside Jining city.

On the Jining Wharf, Chu Yi and the others looked at Jining City in the distance, and the water of the river was rolling behind them. Even Chu Yi couldn't help but sighed at the convenience of the Grand Canal.

When it comes to the officers and troops stationed at various nodes on the Grand Canal, we have to mention the water transport of the Daming Dynasty. The water transport born by relying on the Grand Canal is like a large artery that transports nutrients and blood to the giant of the Daming Dynasty.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the Taizu set the capital in Nanjing. Naturally, food, vegetables, silk, etc. in the south of the Yangtze River did not need to be transferred to the capital and could be solved on the spot. However, after Chengzu moved the capital to Beijing, the land in the north was simply not enough to supply the capital needed by the capital. It is necessary to transfer the food from the south to the land of the capital.

Therefore, the Grand Canal became prosperous all of a sudden, and the post of the General Soldier of Water Transport was born.

During the Chengzu years, the imperial court transported taxes, grains, silk and other materials to the capital from the south, partly by way of the Grand Canal, and partly by sea.

Chengzu Zhu Di personally appointed Chen Xuan, the uncle of Pingjiang, to be the first Caoyun Commander. At this time, it was not the Caoyun Governor headed by literati, but the Caoyun Commander headed by military generals.

When it comes to the water transportation of the Ming Dynasty, it is impossible to avoid Chen Xuan, the first water transportation commander of Pingjiang. Chen Xuan led the southern navy to surrender to Zhu Di when Zhu Di was in trouble. Because of his talent in river management, Zhu Di appointed him as the first water transport commander.

And Chen Xuan lived up to his high expectations. During his tenure, he dredged the Grand Canal and was in charge of more than 120 guards along the Grand Canal. There were as many as 10,000+ troops and tens of thousands of ships of all sizes under his jurisdiction. The transportation capacity of water transport has doubled several times. This person has served as the general of water transport for several generations of emperors. For more than 400 years, he has been running through the water transport from north to south. Every year, [-] million stones are sent to the capital.

However, by the time of Emperor Jingtai, the power of civil officials was growing, and the Governor of Water Transport was established.

When the civil officials became more powerful, the Caoyun Chief Soldier had become a subordinate of the Caoyun Governor, and everything was under the command of the Caoyun Governor. Even in the Wanli period, the Caoyun Chief Soldier was dismissed, and the entire Caoyun system was subordinate to the Caoyun Governor. hand.

The Grand Canal can be said to be the lifeblood of the entire Ming Empire. When Chengzu Zhu Di seized the Jining node of the Grand Canal and Emperor Jianwen lost control of the entire Shandong, when Zhu Di seized the node Yangzhou, the entire Jiangnan fell.

Although it is an exaggeration to say that the Grand Canal is elevated to the rise and fall of the country, it can also see the importance of the Grand Canal, and at the same time, it can be seen how powerful the governor of water transportation is.

For example, the garrison of a guard station in Jining, as the governor of water transportation, has the right to recruit and dispatch. More than 100 guard posts along the Grand Canal are escorted to the capital every autumn, and all 10,000+ soldiers along the way are subject to their constraints.

Just as Chu Yi was watching the Grand Canal with his thoughts flying, Fang Li, who was standing beside Chu Yi, suddenly brightened his eyes and said, "Master, look, someone has left the city."

Countless torches appeared in the distance, and they continued to come. If there was no accident, it should be Cao Shaoqin who brought people here.

Chu Yi glanced at it but frowned and said, "What's going on with Cao Shaoqin, why is there such a big commotion?"

Fang Lili clearly understood that what Chu Yi was referring to was the soldiers who had arrived. With such a big movement, the whole city of Jining would be disturbed.

"Professor, I think it was Eunuch Cao. He was worried about what happened, so he specially invited Jining garrison to lead troops and horses to escort him."

After speaking, he looked at the river behind him, and said, "With such a big movement, even if there is any problem on the canal, think about it, they have to withdraw their outstretched hands."

The journey from Jining City to the wharf was nothing but a cup of tea. Soon, a group of cavalrymen headed by them came. Although there were only a dozen cavalrymen, they came roaring, and the momentum was somewhat extraordinary.

Du Wen turned over and dismounted to look at Chu Yi and the others who were not far away, a look of joy flashed in the eyes, and the soldiers behind him also rushed over at this moment, and there were more than a thousand people.

There are naturally more than a thousand soldiers under the jurisdiction of Jining, but there are actually more than a thousand soldiers who can take it out and have some combat power.

With the torches, you can clearly see Du Wen and the others in military uniforms. At this moment, Du Wen nodded to Fei Xi. The two walked forward in unison, bowed to Chu Yi and said, "Meet the Governor."

Chu Yi glanced at Fei Xi and Du Wen and said slowly, "Where is Cao Shaoqin?"

Fei Xi hurriedly said: "Returning to the governor's words, the slave is the director of the East Factory in Jining. At this moment, Duke Cao is preparing a place for the governor to stay in the city of Jining..."

Du Wen, who was on the side, stared at Chu Yi secretly, and looked at Fei Xi. Fei Xi noticed Du Wen's inquiring gaze and nodded slightly to indicate that the person in front of him was Chu Yi, not Fei Xi. others pretend.

Chu Yi's eyes fell on Du Wen, and suddenly he stretched out his hand and grabbed it towards Du Wen. Du Wen was shocked and almost instinctively swung his knife towards Chu Yi.

However, at most, how could he compare to Chu Yi in military kung fu, and he fell into Chu Yi's hands in the blink of an eye. The moment Chu Yi made his move, Yu Huatian also made a decisive move, restraining Fei Xi in an instant.

The two fell into the hands of Chu Yi and Yu Huatian in just a blink of an eye, and they heard their expressions change greatly: "What do you mean by the governor?"

At this moment, one of the soldiers in front of him shouted: "Everyone, I am the official under the magistrate of the prefect. The guard is captured by the water thieves. Everyone kill the water thieves with me, the first rank and the reward of one hundred taels of silver!"

These soldiers didn't know what the origins of Chu Yi and others were. Suddenly, they saw Du Wen being captured by the other party. When they heard their Shangguan shouting, they didn't care what the origins of Chu Yi and others were. A hundred taels of silver on the head, enough for them to spend for a few years.

"Kill!"

Du Wen heard the familiar voice. The other party was the clerk of the Jining prefect, but he did not know when he actually mixed into the army. Now, he saw his subordinates waving weapons and their eyes were full of greed. When I came up, my expression changed greatly, and I immediately realized that I was abandoned by the other party.

Shi Kui took a step forward and waved the big knife in his hand to sweep down the flying arrows and said to Chu Yi: "The governor quickly returns to the boat, Jining Mansion is a trap!"

At this moment, even an idiot can see that the Jining defenders are coming at them, otherwise they would never dare to deal with them after the first army's garrison was taken down.

Chu Yi looked at the despairing look in his hands, and then Du Wen, who was terrified and angry, said slowly: "As a military general, do you still hope that these civil servants will take care of your life? If Chu expects it to be good, then they will I will definitely kill you together, and then I will help you to ask the court for credit, and I will tell you to exterminate the water thieves.

As he said that, Chu Yi glanced at Fei Xi, who fell into Yu Huatian's hands but was trembling all over, and a murderous intent flashed in his eyes: "I am waiting for you, I never thought that you would be bribed by these people, That being the case, what do I want you to do!"

"Professor, forgive me, I was forced..."

The next moment, Yu Huatian grabbed Fei Xi's throat slightly on the spot.

The despairing Du Wen looked at Chu Yi and said, "You...how do you see that we are going to be bad for you!"

Chu Yi sneered: "Cao Shaoqin is a confidant of the governor. Can the governor not know what kind of temperament he is? Since the chief of the governor sent him to invite people, he will definitely come back in person."

Du Wen understood immediately, but looking at Chu Yi, there were shouts of killing all around, Du Wen smiled miserably: "Even if you see through, this Jining is a Jedi at all, since you bumped into it, then There is only one dead end."

Chu Yi stretched out his hand to grab an arrow that came, and sneered: "Really? Since they dare to shoot, let the Governor come to see who is stronger!"

Several figures flew over from a distance, and the leader was Cao Shaoqin, but Cao Shaoqin seemed quite embarrassed at the moment. Under the siege of several first-class players, Cao Shaoqin was even injured in order to break out of the siege and left Jining. There was a long whistle from the city, and a sharp voice came from the night sky: "Jining is dangerous, the governor, go quickly!"

[Double monthly pass is the last few hours, see if there is a monthly pass, smash it, continue to code. 】

Chapter 120 Four Governor's Second Hand 【Ask for monthly ticket】

Obviously, when Cao Shaoqin left Jining City, he immediately warned Chu Yi and others, and he didn't even realize that they were fighting together in the distance.

Chu Yi was relieved when he heard Cao Shaoqin's voice. Cao Shaoqin was his right-hand man. If Cao Shaoqin was trapped in Jining City, he would be heartbroken.

Only Chu Yi could be heard shouting in a deep voice: "Everyone forms, our reinforcements will arrive immediately!"

Hundreds of elite soldiers under Shi Kui's men were like city walls, and they kept the soldiers from Jining City coming out. Compared with these elite soldiers trained by Shi Kui, the soldiers brought by Du Wen could only be regarded as average at best. , Although it is said to have the advantage of the number of people, it is impossible to see the posture of breaking the defense for a while.

After a few ups and downs, a figure landed next to Chu Yi and the others, it was Cao Shaoqin.

Cao Shaoqin looked embarrassed, but he was relieved to see that Chu Yi and others were okay, only to hear Cao Shaoqin say: "Professor, this Jining City is simply a trap, I suspect there is a big hand In controlling all this, gangs of all sizes on the canal and even the civil and military of this city are their pawns."

Chu Yi's eyes flickered with brilliance, and there was a slight smile on the corner of his mouth. He turned his eyes to Du Wen, but Du Wen shook his head with a wry smile.

A group of people were leaving Jining City at the moment. A few sedan chairs were parked not far away, and several figures were seen walking out of the sedan chairs, not Mr. Daishan Chen Li, Jining Prefect Wang Guan and others.

Previously, the official hurriedly came to Chen Li and Wang Guan, the prefect of Jining, and said, "Mr. Daishan and the prefect, there has been a small accident, but Chu Yi and others have been surrounded by everyone. Waiting for people to be slaughtered."

Mr. Daishan Chen Li couldn't help frowning when he saw the chaotic scene in the distance. In his opinion, Du Wen came with a large army, and by surprise, beheading Chu Yi and others was a simple matter, and the result was good , even he can see that it has become a stalemate at this moment.

I just heard Chen Li snort coldly: "Where's Du Wen, let Du Wen come to see me. The old man wants to ask him, is that how he leads the troops?"

The official bowed his waist and hurriedly explained: "Mr. Hui, Du Wen and Fei Xi have exposed their horse's feet at some point. The gelding dog noticed that they had fallen into each other's hands. When they saw this, they quickly ordered the army to besiege."

The prefect Wang Guan stroked his beard and nodded: "You have done a good job. After this matter, this official will definitely reward you."

Mr. Daishan couldn't help but said angrily: "Trash, it's really trash, he came here with an army, and even fell to the enemy, why didn't he die."

Between the words, Chen Li said: "The most important thing is to wait until I step forward to boost morale and kill the neutered dog quickly."

Soon the soldiers separated, and under the protection of a dozen fierce gangsters, Chen Li and Wang Guan arrived in front of the battle and saw Chu Yi and others not far away.

Although he said he didn't know Chu Yi, but he was surrounded by a big cloak, if he couldn't identify who was Chu Yi, then he could only be a fool.

Naturally, Chu Yi also noticed the sudden appearance of several people. Needless to say, the two leaders should be the Jining prefect who was in charge of dealing with him in Jining this time, and the Mr. Daishan.

Although Du Wen didn't know who was behind this big net, he provided Mr. Daishan and Jining's prefect and others.

Taking a few steps forward, Chu Yi looked at Mr. Daishan Chen Li and Jining Prefect Wang Guan, and said slowly: "Chen Li, Wang Guan, you dare to drive the army to besiege the imperial convoy, do you know the crime?"

Chu Yi's voice spread all over the place, and even those soldiers could hear it clearly. Many people heard that they were besieging the imperial court, and their expressions changed, one by one showing panic.

Chen Li was shocked when he saw this, and Wang Guan, the prefect of the prefecture, said in a loud voice: "Is this official still not able to recognize the imperial commissioner, you and other little water thieves dare to pretend to be the imperial commissioner, this is a capital crime, everyone. If the officers and soldiers kill all the water thieves in the prefect, this official will not hesitate to reward them."

Compared with the illusory imperial envoy, these soldiers obviously believed more in Wang Guan, the prefect who controlled the life and death of their family, so after listening to Wang Guan's words, these soldiers rose up one by one to besiege them again.

Chu Yi looked at Wang Guan and Chen Li and sighed softly: "You are really stubborn and don't know how to repent. If that's the case, then don't blame the governor for being ruthless."

While speaking, Chu Yi waved his hand, and saw a dazzling signal flare flying out of a fanzi's hand, and saw the signal flare made of fireworks fly into the night sky and explode with a bang, clearly visible within a radius of several miles.
