Chapter 63: Lu Jiuguo
"Zhang Huangyan, see the prince consort."
Zhang Huangyan, dressed in military uniform, knelt on one knee, bowed to Zhou Shixian and said, "The Cao people are late to save the emperor, so I would like to ask the prince consort to punish him."
"No need to be polite!"
Zhou Shixian quickly stepped forward and helped the person up. He didn't expect that he would meet the famous "Mr. Cangshui" here.
Let me say that although Zhou Shixian did not expect that Zhang Huangyan would just arrive in Qinghe County with the rebel army he organized, he still knew about the other party recruiting and organizing rebel army to serve the king in the south.
After all, this was the true first leadership of the late Ming Dynasty anti-Qing leader who was both civil and military.
Zhou Shixian felt extremely grateful for this "Three Heroes of West Lake" who knew it was impossible to do it, and despite repeated defeats, he still insisted on fighting against the Qing Dynasty for a full nineteen years in his original history and was finally brutally killed by the Qing Dynasty.
admire.
Not to mention, Zhang Huangyan was still a rare stream of clear stream in the late Ming Dynasty when demons were dancing wildly and had no bottom line, and his moral integrity was even more reproachable.
"Mr. Zhang refused to give up his hardships and personally led the righteous army to the north to serve the king. What's the crime?" Zhou Shixian looked at the sword-browed eyebrows and starry eyes in front of him, with a fair face, a silver-white chain mail on his body, and a handle was hung around his waist.
Brother Chu of Shundao's battlefield also politely said:
"I have heard of Zhang Cangshui's name for a long time. It is said that he is both literary and military. When he participated in the county examination eight years ago, he inspected the cavalry and shooting, and all three arrows hit the target. I saw it today, and it was indeed extraordinary!"
When Zhang Huangyan heard this, he was stunned at first. He never expected that the prince consort of the dynasty would pay so much attention to him. Then he was overjoyed and quickly bowed his waist, bowed his fists and said, "Don't joke about the prince consort, where is the name of the grass people?"
"Huang Yan should not be humble. When the country is in trouble, talented people should be exposed, otherwise how can the emperor know who to use?"
Zhou Shixian immediately interrupted and became a life mentor again: "In this way, it actually made those incompetent young people take advantage of it."
"Yes, the prince-consort." Zhang Huangyan said respectfully, but he still couldn't change his straightforwardness and the stimulating and stimulating spirit of a scholar. After thinking about it, he still said what he had just interrupted by Zhou Shixian:
"Your Highness, please make it clear. On that day, the Cao people were hit by the bull's eye, but no one outside the field believed it. After the transmission, it became three arrows. This is definitely a rumor, and it is a thousand days for the Cao people to train hard for ten years and thousands of days.
Great slander."
Now it was Zhou Shixian's turn to be stunned. What a guy, this is too excellent and unbelievable!
Not only did he hit the bull's eye when riding and shooting ten arrows, but he also hit the bull's eye. Even Zhou Shixian heard this, he was a little unbelievable.
"If the prince consort doesn't believe it, you can immediately set the target. The grass consort will demonstrate to the prince consort. On weekdays, the daily training of grass consort is to hit seventeen consecutive arrows. If you shoot a bird, the hit rate is lower, but you can basically shoot two arrows.
Next one.”
As Zhang Huangyan spoke, his tone became Versailles unknowingly, and sighed slightly, "I actually made some mistakes that day, but those who do not practice martial arts also said that Caomin bribed the examiner in advance, no matter what Caomin
He said, he didn't believe it."
"Hahahaha, no need to demonstrate, I believe in you."
Zhou Shixian had heard of Zhang Huangyan's honesty, but he didn't expect that the other party Geng had reached this point, and he didn't know that this "loyal and fierce" hero also had such a side.
The two of them did not hang up on this topic. Zhou Shixian immediately let the other party stand among his generals. Zhang Huangyan naturally understood the meaning.
At this time, his face was calm, but his heart was already very excited. The ambition of resisting the Qing Dynasty and saving the country that had been buried in his heart seemed to be about to be realized.
Now that the war outside Qinghe County has ended, the magistrate of Qinghe woke up in time. After Zhou Shixian sent the emperor and empress into the city, he immediately arranged for the generals under his command to perform their duties, organize the battlefield, count casualties, and reorganize the system.
Zhang Huangyan's troops have nearly a thousand people. Although they were trained by Qi Jiguang's military arts, the army array was still neat, but the weapons and equipment were not good. They didn't even have the most basic muskets, and there were very few armors. Archers basically did not wear armor.
Soldiers are all heavy and less armored.
However, a scholar, not only did he say that he could walk through the Yang in a hundred steps, but also had the ability to train troops, and he had passed the test of history. How could Zhou Shixian miss such a talent?
After Zhang Huangyan received the task at Xue Laoer, Wu Xingye, Zhang Hong, Wang Chaodong, Sun Hu, Li Daxi and others, he was immediately assigned to guard the prisoners.
This is not a joke. If Zhang Huangyan had not arrived in time, Zhou Shixian would really not know who to hand over this task to, so that he could not only grasp the allocation power of these three thousand elite troops, but also maintain the balance and unity of the generals under his command.
.
After arranging these things, Zhou Shixian brought a few personal guards to the city tower, where he saw Lu Jiude who had just woken up from a coma.
Lu Jiude sat on the ground with a dead look on his face. He watched Zhou Shixian walk in with a calm expression. He looked at the outfit and probably guessed the other person's identity in his heart.
But he did not respond at all, neither respectful nor speak.
"Eunuch Lu, have you been in Fengyang for many years? Did you learn this? Which law in the Ming Dynasty stipulates that you met the prince-consort of the current dynasty? Is it your current appearance and attitude?"
Zhou Shixian scolded him while sitting in front of Lu Jiude, and two personal guards stood on his side.
However, Lu Jiude was still unmoved at all, just like a pool of mud, as if all this had nothing to do with him.
Seeing this, Zhou Shixian knew that the other party was planning to fight against all the crimes himself, but he wanted to die. He smiled slightly, then changed the subject and asked, "Where are Lu Zhenfei people, have you killed?"
"Mr. Concubine, Lu Zhenfei is our family's good friend, an old acquaintance, and a loyal and kind person. Why did our family kill him?" Lu Jiude immediately retorted when he heard that he was questioned in this way.
"At the latest tonight, he should break free from his shackles and come to Qinghe to welcome him."
"Isn't really killed?" Zhou Shixian looked surprised and couldn't believe it.
He hadn't tried Wang Hui yet, and he didn't know that the other party just tied up Lu Zhenfei.
With his understanding of this era, Lu Jiude should have already killed himself, but the result was completely beyond his expectations.
Lu Jiude did not continue to speak, or he did not want to say much to Zhou Shixian after proving his innocence.
Zhou Shixian originally wanted to win over Lu Jiude and let this eunuch with outstanding abilities serve him. After all, in Nanjing, there are probably not many ministers who can match Lu Jiude's integrity and ability.
Moreover, the opponent's ability to lead troops is indeed not low. At least there are more than 2,000 direct troops who can carry out small-scale combat.
To put it bluntly, most of the nobles in the Nanjing court are inferior to even a single eunuch. They are not only moral integrity, but also civil and military talents.
"Actually, you don't have to die. With your father-in-law's talent, if you use it in a serious place, you will be able to be a great use and have a future. Nowadays, the bandits and the Tartars are all there, and the Ming Dynasty is in danger. What if your father-in-law seeks to die at this time, what if you want to die at this time?
Are you worthy of the court?”
Zhou Shixian naturally wanted to say such things to Lu Jiude, regardless of whether he fully recognized it or not.
"Hmph, our family asks the prince consort not to be foolish. It is absolutely impossible for our family to do things and behave as one person. It is even more impossible for us to say anything more, and it is even more impossible for us to help the prince consort as a certificate."
However, Lu Jiude seemed to have no interest in this and sneered: "What's more, if one servant does not serve the two masters, our family is not a complete person, but it is also reasonable and loyal."
"Hahaha, this is my father-in-law's point."
Zhou Shixian immediately smiled and said, "Besides, this prince consort doesn't need any evidence for you. Who do you really want to kill? There are a hundred ways to do this prince consort, so why do you need evidence?"
"you......"
Lu Jiude glared at Zhou Shixian fiercely, unable to speak for a while. He had a premonition that the person in front of him was definitely not scaring him.
"Don't worry, Eunuch Lu, this prince-consort is not the kind of cruel, unreasonable person. Besides, at this moment, indiscriminate killing can only be said to be counterproductive and will be of no use to the country."
Zhou Shixian said lightly: "But Eunuch Lu really doesn't consider what my prince-consort just said?"
However, Lu Jiude shook his head and didn't say anything. He had already given the answer.
For Lu Jiude, the Fu Wang lineage was his master, and it was natural for him to serve him. Although Zhou Shixian was the son-in-law of the current dynasty, he did have the aura of a lord, but this was not worthy of his service.
"but......"
Lu Jiude suddenly had a little bit of spirit in his eyes, fearing that Zhou Shixian would refuse, so he quickly spoke: "However, there is still a request before our family dies, I hope the prince consort will fulfill it. Our family wants to meet the prince consort's leader,
Such a talent, the prince consort must be more important."
After hearing this, Zhou Shixian was slightly stunned, as if he didn't hear it clearly, and then he burst into laughter.
Lu Jiude looked at the other party smiling, a little confused, so he thought that the other party no longer planned to pretend to be a talented person for him who refused to cooperate, and even laughed in his heart:
"The Guangzong lineage has no virtue, and now it's revealed its strength."
After Zhou Shixian was stunned, he immediately realized what Lu Jiude was saying. It turned out that the other party was still thinking about the person who defeated him.
After laughing, he stood up and said slowly: "The person you are looking for is my prince consort."
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Lu Jiude looked silly and didn't believe it at all. After all, if the other party had this ability, would it be so far to flee south to Qinghe?
"Why, my father-in-law doesn't believe it?"
Zhou Shixian didn't mean to blame him, so he paused and continued, "Then think about it carefully, which of these soldiers and gangsters in the Beijing camp, the Jinyiwei general flag that knocked you off the horse, can command it.
Move the other person?"
After hearing this, Lu Jiude thought about it carefully and found that it was indeed the truth: except for Chongzhen, the royal prince consort, who is most favored, can do such a complex relationship.
Chongzhen was naturally excluded, so the only son-in-law was the prince-consort.
And the other party seems to be only seventeen years old this year. Even if he had this strength before, he might have...
Looking at the surprised expression on the other side, Zhou Shixian knew that this smart man had figured out the matter, and immediately said: "Eunuch Lu, you are a human being, not someone's slave, what kind of master and two masters, why bother to trap yourself?
With the talent of my father-in-law, how many people can compare to me, why should I lose this good life in vain?”
Lu Jiude seemed to be moved, looked up at Zhou Shixian, but he still didn't say anything. He was so complicated in his heart now. If everything the prince consort said in front of him was true, then... Ming Dynasty,
There will be hope in the Ming Dynasty.
Seeing this, Zhou Shixian knew that the other party had been persuaded, and continued, "If you want to save King Fu, you have to save the Ming Dynasty. My father-in-law should not be confused. How can you finish your eggs after the nest is destroyed?"
Zhou Shi saw that the other party was obviously touched, and approached again, looked at Lu Jiude, and said again:
Chapter completed!
