The Ming Dynasty started with caution

Yan Chengjin said frankly: "It was the lower official who recommended you."

Wang Yue was stunned for a moment, then his expression changed drastically: "Why would my wise nephew harm me?"

"This is to help adults build merits."

Wang Yue pondered for a few times and showed a troubled look on his face: "No matter how much merit I make, I can't be granted a title. I might as well be a legendary gentleman who is praised by the world. Speaking of which, I have encountered a bottleneck recently and am about to think about how to continue. I’m writing, but I really don’t have time to leave.”

"Then my lord must go even more."

Wang Yue looked confused.

"If you want to clear your reputation, your Majesty must bestow it on you. This is the second step of the plan that I have made for you. You can write this experience of suppressing bandits in your confession."

The chapter name is just...

Put down the bandits and achieve great prosperity!

The people are unbearable when thieves come ashore and do evil. If you remove this cancer, the people will burst into tears of gratitude, and your reputation will also rise. When the time comes, Mr. Chuanshi's true name will be exposed..."

Lao Wang, you want to do charity!

Wang Yue's mind was so quick, he figured it out as soon as he said this.

When he was guarding the border, the people on the border loved him very much and even came to his tent to give him cattle and sheep.

Isn't it because he killed the bandits who raided the border and removed the serious worries of the people that he was loved?

But when he returned to the court, he had no reputation because the people here had not received his protection.

Wang Yue's eyes were cloudy and he sighed: "For my reputation, my good nephew has lost weight."

"Your Excellency, you have helped me earn a lot of money, so I am lucky to have such a hard time."

Wang Yue happily agreed to go, and Yan Chengjin told him a series of plans to suppress the bandits. After Wang Yue listened, he immediately returned to the palace and ordered his men to go back to the palace to pack their bags and leave the palace.

When he went on an expedition, he always brought only a green steel sword. Now that the blue steel sword was given to Yan Kesong, he had no choice but to bring a new one and carry his own Ten Thousand Stone Bow.

Jiujiang Prefecture,

In the past few days, Jiang Cheng, the prefect of Jiujiang Prefecture, was sweating hot and anxious in the cold weather. He was waiting in the yamen all day and night, but no one from the imperial court came.

When the river pirates and lake pirates heard that there was money and grain to be transported, as if they had been paid, they swarmed ashore to plunder, and even reported their names to the government, not paying attention to the officers and soldiers at all.

"Just ignore it if the court ignores it. If this batch of tax grains is robbed again at the end of the month, I will become the brother-in-law of the thieves. Anyway, when the court blames me, my hat will fall off, and I may have to go to the army." Jiang Cheng looked sad and said angrily to the master beside him.

"Master, there is an old man outside, he said he was sent from the imperial court." Men Zao ran back to report.

Jiang Cheng looked happy and hurried out to greet him. Unexpectedly, only an old man and two followers were greeted.

Jiang Cheng became anxious: "Did the official not make it clear enough in the memorial? It is estimated that there are thousands of bandits. Why are there only three adults here?"

What he didn't know was that Emperor Hongzhi actually only sent Wang Yue alone, and the two followers were Wang Yue's own personal troops.

Wang Yuefuan muttered: "Why are there only a thousand people?"

"???" Jiang Cheng felt as if someone had cut him in the heart.

In fact, for Wang Yue, everything has come. To suppress a hundred people is to suppress, and to suppress 10,000 people is also to suppress.

It's better to make a big noise and add a good name to Mr. Heiron.

Wang Yue dismounted and ordered: "Don't let anyone know that I am here. Just say that the imperial court only allows Jiujiang Prefecture to suppress bandits on its own."

Jiang Cheng didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd, but Wang Yue was sent by the court and had documents, so he had no choice but to obey.

Wang Yue asked his followers to post the court's decree, join the military reserve, receive a one-year tax exemption, retain their citizenship, receive silver rewards for killing bandits, and receive silver pensions from the court upon death.

Nowadays, the weather is very cold, and the harvest is already low. I heard that the tax will be reduced for one year, and the household registration will be retained. After the war, you can return the people, and kill the robbers and still have money?

This is almost unbearable.

Upon hearing such a good thing, many people rushed to sign up.

"Do you want the refugees?"

"As long as you have the strength, it doesn't matter."

The news spread immediately, and people from all over the country rushed to the camp.

The two men Wang Yue brought were both good soldiers in the army in the past. They had great skills and pretended to be refugees. They spent some money to introduce them to the bandits' den.

These days, it is more popular to turn into bandits by falling in love with others. In addition, the two of them have great skills and were spotted by the bandit leader.

Two days later the news came.

One person successfully infiltrated as an undercover bandit in the lake, and the other successfully infiltrated as an undercover bandit in the river.

Jiang Cheng didn't know what the military god was going to do. He only saw that he wrote books and practiced calligraphy on weekdays, and he was not in a hurry.

He was anxious to death. Seeing that the last batch of late-harvested grain was about to be transported to Taicang, he had already heard about Wang Yue's reputation as the God of War. But even if you have three heads and six arms, it is impossible for one person to defeat hundreds of bandits. ?

After the registration was completed, there were now 30,000 people, so Wang Yue naturally wanted to practice.

After practicing for fifteen days with the patrol officers and soldiers, Jiang Cheng was ordered to transport grain. Fearing that the bait would not be big enough, he also let out the news that this year's tax collection of tens of thousands of silver would be transported to Taicang together, by the same route.

The next day, Wang Yue got the news that the river pirates and lake pirates wanted to eat this batch of grain and silver.

Wang Yue drew out his green steel sword: "Follow me and kill the thieves!"

……………………

More than ten days passed in the blink of an eye, but no news came back from Jiujiang Mansion.

Emperor Hongzhi became a little anxious. That guy Yan Chengjin said he was only 30% sure. Could it be that it was really only 30%?

Bandits in Poyang Lake have been around for a long time and have been suppressed repeatedly.

Even some ministers who supported the idea before began to waver and became suspicious.

Ma Wensheng, the Minister of War, thought about it and still felt that it was not appropriate: "It is risky to use civilians as soldiers. The officers and soldiers cannot eliminate the thieves, so how can ordinary people be the opponents of the thieves?"

Qu Shen, the Minister of War, also said: "I don't know how many people will pay their lives, and I am afraid that it will increase the arrogance of the thieves."

Li Dongyang's old face was slightly red. He was the one who agreed to set up the military preparation road.

At this time, a report sent from Jiujiang Prefecture finally arrived in the capital and was presented to the warm room by the eunuch.

Emperor Hongzhi looked solemn and opened it: "I, Wang Yue, have seen the emperor's intention to appoint his confidant and be cautious about state affairs. I should cleanse my mind and reflect on myself, and make up for my mistakes with loyalty... I have lived up to your majesty's high expectations, recovered the tax grain, wiped out 382 Jiang thieves, and wiped out 1,324 Poyang Lake thieves. Among them were evil thieves, as well as women and children. I couldn't bear to kill them, and I beg your majesty to forgive me!"

Li Dongyang and others looked at Emperor Hongzhi eagerly, only to see that Emperor Hongzhi laughed loudly: "Wang Yue has lived up to everyone's expectations!"

Was it wiped out?

Ma Wensheng and others looked at each other.

Ordinary people are certainly no match for thieves, but what Ma Wensheng didn't know was that the people of Jiujiang Prefecture had long been forced to suffer by thieves. There were 30,000 applicants, but there were only a thousand thieves.

One thief can beat three, can he beat ten?

"Your Majesty, can you let me see..." Ma Wensheng said in disbelief.

Wang Yue wrote several thousand words to explain how the emperor valued him, how he repented and reflected, how he made amends, and how he could not bear to kill women and children.

Ma Wensheng ignored these nonsense and went straight to the point. He won the battle, took back the tax grain, destroyed the old nest, and got a lot of money and grain hoarded by the thieves?
