At this moment, a loud shout suddenly came from behind the crowd, and a dozen soldiers pushed aside the crowd, commanding Jiang Jin to rush over in a hurry.
"Woo, woo..." Seeing the savior arriving, Wang Dapao's fat face turned red instantly. He struggled desperately, but his mouth was tightly blocked, and he couldn't speak at all. He could only let out waves of low muffled hums!
"Young Master?" Xiao Liu'er held the machete high for a moment, then raised his head and looked in the direction of Liu Ruyi.
Liu Ruyi couldn't help but sneer in her heart!
This armory is indeed the most important vacancy in the Acropolis! Even the normally aloof commander Jiang Jin can't sit still! However, this time, they are afraid they will be disappointed!
Liu Ruyi glanced at Xiao Liu'er and said nothing, just nodded slightly.
Xiao Liu'er understood, he took a deep breath, concentrated on his arms, sharply raised his 60-pound machete, and slashed hard at Wang Dapao's neck!
Xiao Liuer's machete is somewhat similar to Guan Erye's Qinglong Yanyue Knife. The entire blade is forged from the finest fine iron. Two blood-letting grooves about an inch deep are embedded on both sides of the blade. Not to mention
It's the fragile cartilage on a person's neck, but it can be split in half even if it's a strong cow!
In the blink of an eye, there was a crisp sound of 'collapse', blood was like a fountain, and Wang Dapao's head rolled to the ground!
However, he seemed unwilling to believe the facts in front of him. He kept his eyes wide open until he died, aiming in the direction of Liu Ruyi. It was so terrifying!
The pungent smell of blood filled the air, and everyone fell silent!
For a moment, the conductor Jiang Jin rubbed his eyes vigorously, and then realized that what he saw was not an illusion, but a bloody reality!
"You, you——!" He pointed hard at Liu Ruyi. For a long time, he couldn't say a word!
Liu Ruyi shook his neck from side to side, gently soothing his nerves. As if nothing was wrong, he turned over and dismounted, knelt down on one knee in front of Jiang Jin, "Liu Ruyi, a lowly Nancheng garrison, please see the commander!"
"Liu, Liu, Liu Qianhu, you, you are so brave! You dare to kill the imperial official in front of someone! Are you, are you going to rebel?" Jiang Jin shouted angrily, pointing at Liu Ruyi's
My fingers are trembling.
Liu Ruyi glanced at Jiang Jin pretending to be confused, "Sir, what do you mean? I don't understand what you mean!"
"You——!" Jiang Jin almost spat a mouthful of blood on Liu Ruyi's face. His face was ashen and he was trembling and speechless!
But after all, he was in a high position and was born in the army. He quickly adjusted his attitude, pointed at Wang Dapao's ferocious head and shouted: "Liu Qianhu, Mr. Liu, this, wasn't this done by you?
I have seen it with my own eyes, do you still want to default on your debt?"
"Sir, are you talking about him?" A slight smile suddenly appeared on Liu Ruyi's lips.
"You know it, can't you ask?" Jiang Jin also felt Liu Ruyi's disdain, and he was even more angry, "How can you explain this to me? If you can't explain the reason, I will definitely report it to the imperial court, and the Emperor's Holy Spirit will
Break!"
"Master Commander, are you threatening me?" Liu Ruyi slowly stood up, her words were cold and she lost any respect.
Two hundred heavily armed soldiers behind him also quickly formed a circle, surrounding the commander Jiang Jin and his personal entourage in the center.
"You, are you really going to rebel?" Jiang Jin said angrily.
"Why do you say this, sir?" Liu Ruyi stared into Jiang Jin's eyes without fear and said loudly: "According to the emperor's order, Liu will go to the Central Plains to suppress the bandits and put down the rebellion! But who knows that this Wang Dapao is not only low-level
Liu took away the weapons and armors of more than 800 brothers in Nancheng. Liu came to ask for them in person. Not only did he not give them to me, he also slandered me and deducted our brothers’ food and wages wantonly! Such evil thieves without kings and fathers,
Even the Emperor's oral instructions dare to act recklessly, so what's the use of keeping them?"
After Liu Ruyi finished speaking, he suddenly pulled out the sword from his waist and stabbed it into the ground, "Master Commander, if you speak like this to this evil thief, is it possible that you also want to hinder the emperor's holy will?"
"You!" Jiang Jin's expression changed drastically, and he took a few steps back.
Since the eighth year of Chongzhen, several groups of refugee armies, including Zhang Xianzhong, Lao Huihui, King Sweeper, and King Taiping, broke through Fengyang, the central capital, and excavated the tomb of the ancestor Zhu Yuanzhang. The refugee army has become a serious problem for Emperor Chongzhen!
According to historical records, after Emperor Chongzhen learned the news, he immediately put on mourning clothes, ran to the Ancestral Temple, knelt under the memorial tablet of his ancestors and cried loudly.
After that, Emperor Chongzhen ordered Hong Chengchou, the governor of the five northwest provinces, to enter Henan from Shaanxi. At the same time, he appointed Lu Xiang, the left minister of the Ministry of War and the right minister of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, to be promoted to the premier of the five provinces of the Central Plains, commanding the military affairs of Zhili, Henan, Shandong, Sichuan, and Huguang provinces.
, jointly encircled and suppressed the peasant army.
But the refugee army has become a climate, and the situation is not optimistic!
Just as the two men worked together to sweep away the Central Plains refugee army and made some progress, at the end of June of the ninth year, the Manchu Tatars broke through the Great Wall fortress Xifengkou and approached the capital. Lu Xiangsheng, who was fighting in Huguang, was forced to return to the capital and fought with Hong Chengchou.
The situation of "east-west suppression" no longer existed, and the refugee army also escaped!
Afterwards, Zhang Fengyi, Minister of War, committed suicide due to dereliction of duty and fear of crime!
From this time on, all the civil servants who led the army or were involved in the defeat of the army were killed by Emperor Chongzhen without exception!
Jiang Jin is such a shrewd person. When he heard Liu Ruyi's words, he couldn't help but tremble in his heart!
If this crime of "trading the soldiers' armor and depriving them of their food and wages" were spread to the ears of Emperor Chongzhen, then even if he had a hundred heads, it wouldn't be enough to chop him off! If not, he might be punished by the Nine Tribes.
!
The guard system at the end of the Ming Dynasty was actually equivalent to the armed police reserve force in later generations. The actual combat was done by the main field army!
For example, Ni Chong, the commander-in-chief of Shandong Province, is equivalent to the commander of a certain field army. His subordinates are all soldiers, while Jiang Jin, the commander of the Acropolis, is equivalent to the commander of an armed police reserve division. When the main force is lacking,
It is the latter that makes up for it.
Although Jiang Jin is the commander, he only has the power to control troops and does not have the power to mobilize troops. If he wants to mobilize troops, he still needs the emperor's word and the deployment order from the Ministry of War. Therefore, compared with Ni Chong and Zuo Liangyu, Jiang Jin, the commander, is just an empty show.
, the rights are far from comparable to those of the first two.
At this time, Liu Ruyi had figured out what Jiang Jin was thinking. Without further ado, he first pulled off a big hat. If the military plane was really delayed, then at least 80% of it would fall on his butt.
What's more, Liu Ruyi also has a nominal backer, 'Zuo Liangyu!'
This man, in this land of the Central Plains, there are not many people who dare to offend him!
"Brother Liu, Liu, this, so-and-so doesn't know about this! Is there any misunderstanding here?" Although Jiang Jin was itching with hatred, he had to accept it on the surface.
Liu Ruyi burst out laughing, "Your Majesty, Commander, is wise! Liu was also angered by Wang Dapao. If I have offended him in any way, please forgive me, Commander!"
"Brother Liu, what are you talking about? They are all doing things for the Holy One. If Jiang doesn't even have such a big heart, how can he convince the brothers?" Seeing Liu Ruyi's change of tone, Jiang Jin also felt relieved, but he
His face was as gloomy as water, and the forced smile was simply uglier than crying!
"What the commander said is absolutely true!" Liu Ruyi didn't say much and just looked into Jiang Jin's eyes with a smile.
Jiang Jin still didn't understand what Liu Ruyi meant, so he forced himself to smile and said: "Since this evil thief has been eliminated by Brother Liu, if Brother Liu has any requests, please tell me!"
"My lord is wise! Thank you for your love!" Liu Ruyi hurriedly knelt down on one knee to salute, but there was an indescribable smile at the corner of her mouth.
…………
Seeing 1,200 sets of armor and spears being moved out of the armory's warehouse, Jiang Jin's original round face turned into the shape of a bitter melon. He trembled and wanted to say something, but nothing came out.
Liu Ruyi saw his expression in her eyes. She had swallowed enough on a daily basis, and it was time to spit out some!
One thousand, two hundred sets of armor and spears is not a small amount. The two hundred soldiers who accompanied Liu Ruyi could not carry it. Jiangjin had no choice but to order fifty mules and horses to be used by the soldiers.
.
As for the soldiers' salaries and the food and grass on the march, Jiang Jin had no choice but to order his men to collect them, and pulled some out of the warehouse and sent them to the Nancheng camp.
"Brother Liu, what about food and grass? Brother can give you more, but it's just the salary..." Jiang Jin looked at Liu Ruyi with some embarrassment.
Liu Ruyi smiled softly and said, "Liu has kept the kindness of the Commander in mind! This is enough. Brothers are all sensible people, so they can understand the difficulties of the Commander!"
Regarding Jiangjin, Liu Ruyi didn't want to push him too hard. Liu Ruyi was very satisfied with the receipt of these soldiers, grain and grass. As for the salary, it was considered good to be able to pay three achievements!
After all, after three hundred years of dynasty, this has become an unwritten rule!
Watching the mules and horses go away, Liu Ruyi smiled and bowed her hands to Jiang Jin, "Master Commander, I will bear in mind my kindness today and take my leave now!"
After saying that, Liu Ruyi got on his horse and quickly disappeared from Jiang Jin's sight, surrounded by Xiao Liu'er and many soldiers.
Seeing that Liu Ruyi's back was no longer visible, Jiang Jin kicked Wang Dapao's head aside, "Domineering, domineering! It's really too domineering! These idiots, I will make you regret today!"
"
…………
Returning to the Nancheng camp, Liu Ruyi unexpectedly saw a luxurious carriage at the door. A pretty maid came forward and said with a faint smile: "Sir, the princess invites you to come over!"
Liu Ruyi was slightly stunned, but she saw a pretty face like a flower emerging from the carriage window...
