Nanyang, the fiefdom of Tang Wang Zhu Juan (jing).
The palace of the Tang Dynasty was grand in scale.
In the palace, Nan and Hou Fangying were covered in armor, standing with their swords in hand, standing on the bank of the rockery, looking at the distance not far away in a daze. If he had a way to turn back when he reached Nanyang, then when he entered the Tang Palace now, he would never be able to turn back.
Because at this moment, the palace is surrounded by a large army!
Coming to the Tang Palace is not just a guest.
It’s about money!
Since you want to do big things, you can't do it without money. Generals can ask for titles, but the soldiers at the bottom can't see that far. They prefer real money, and once the army returns to Gyeonggi, there will be no supply of food and grass along the way.
So food and grass are also needed.
Unfortunately, there is a rich man in Nanyang.
Tang Wang Zhu Qiongjing (da).
This is a big tycoon.
It's not that Zhu Qiongjin is good at making money, the key is that his father Zhu Huang is good at making money.
In the second year of Yongle, Zhu Kuang was granted the title of King of Tang Dynasty in Nanyang by Taizong.
Zhu Huang was extravagant and extravagant, and he built a luxurious Tang palace with more than 800 palaces. In order to satisfy his extravagance, Zhu Huang ordered the people to change their three meals a day to two meals a day, and all the remaining rations for one meal were used.
Hand it over to the Prince's Mansion.
But he had a good relationship with Taizong, so no one dared to interfere.
Of course, Taizong Zhu Di's idea was simple.
As long as you don't make trouble, support Lao Tzu Zhang Guo to achieve political achievements and compare with his eldest brother Zhu Biao, and prove that Lao Tzu's peace is beneficial to Ming Dynasty, no matter how corrupt you are, there will be no problem.
When Zhu Gang passed away, Zhu Di also stopped looking at the court for fifteen days.
Well, there will be no court meeting, but the chapter will need to be revised.
So Tang Wang Zhu Qiongjing was a rich man.
But the royal palace has few guards.
In Fang Ying's eyes, Zhu Qiongjing is just a fat pig that is extremely rich. If not, who will he kill?
Fang Ying still felt uneasy.
It's not that I'm worried that Zhu Qiongjing won't get the money, because he can't help it.
I'm worried about what's next.
In the current situation, everything is going according to plan. To quell the chaos, the three groups of troops in the north of the town are led by Chen Ruyan, Liang Yue and Chen You because Chen Ruyan is active in the military department.
very smooth.
But it was a little too smooth.
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Zhu Qiongjing in casual clothes coming in a hurry before anyone arrived, saying, "Your Majesty, the Marquis, is coming to my humble abode. I am sorry for the delay in greeting you from afar. Please forgive me."
Zhu Qiongjin has a good reputation in Nanyang.
People are smart enough.
Fang Ying didn't want to embarrass him too much, so she smiled and said, "A humble house?"
If this huge palace is also called a humble residence, the palace in the Forbidden City is probably just a small courtyard.
Zhu Qiongjing laughed and went straight to the point, "How much does the Marquis cost? How much food?"
Fang Ying was stunned for a moment.
I really didn't expect that Zhu Qiongjing was so smart.
Then he said slowly: "Thirty thousand people."
This time we sent troops to Hu Guang to quell the rebellion. He had 30,000 troops under his command, all of whom were regiments. After hinting and communicating along the way, only two generals were willing to follow the uprising. The number of troops they could mobilize was only 3,000.
The Henan Dusi Twelve Guards, six Thousand Household Divisions, seven Yiwei Divisions, and four Group Herding Stations under the jurisdiction of the Fifth Army Governor's Office are connected with the Sixth Guards and four Thousand Household Divisions, with a total strength of about 30,000.
enough.
As long as you have enough money and food, you can drive straight into Gyeonggi and be caught off guard!
Zhu Qiongjing immediately said: "It will be ready to be sent to the Marquis' army tomorrow."
Fang Ying smiled, she was a sensible person.
Turn around and leave.
But he will not withdraw his troops before getting money and food, and of course, he will not kill Zhu Qiongjin.
Zhu Qiongjing looked at Fang Ying's back, raised the corner of his mouth and snorted.
Someone wants to die.
Is it so easy to rebel?
However, Zhu Qiongjing knew very well that he had to provide money and food today, otherwise the Tang Palace would be bloodbathed by Fang Ying. However, this was a temporary measure, and it would inevitably be liquidated afterwards.
Zhu Qiongjing's mind turned quickly and he quickly made a decision.
I invest in both sides!
Fang Ying left the Prince of Tang's Mansion, and as soon as she left the gate, she saw Sheng Lin, the young eunuch of the Internal Affairs Bureau, coming in a hurry, with a sharp voice that hurt her eardrums, "Master Marquis, why don't you march quickly into the territory of Huguang to suppress the rebellion? Do you want soldiers to besiege the Tang Palace?"
Fang Ying glanced around and said coldly: "Cut it off!"
Came just in time!
Now that the food, grass and military pay issues have been settled, what else is there to do with Sheng Lin as the military governor?
Hearing this, the guards on the left and right drew their swords.
Poor Sheng Lin, before he could figure out what happened, his big head rolled to the ground.
Fang Ying returned to the commander's tent, summoned many regiments and soldiers, and said: "I just got the military report, Datong, Xuanfu has been attacked by the cavalry of Duerbote's tribe, and the front is pointing directly at Huailai, while Zhunge'er's tribe The cavalry also appeared north of the Great Wall, and there is a strong tendency to take advantage of the chaos to invade the south and make a fortune. The key is that Li Manzhu of Jianzhou is also determined to be evil, and Chen Bing is outside the pass."
All the generals were shocked when they heard this.
Somewhat unbelievable.
There are already a lot of troops on the border of the northern town, and there are also Chen You and Tang Xingshuaijun to support them. How come Guancheng was conquered so quickly?!
The commander Wang Linyuan immediately said: "Huguang has the Marquis of Funing in charge, why don't we go back to the army with the Marquis of Qin?"
This is one of our own.
Playing a double act.
A general named Zhou Donglai asked suspiciously: "What did the Ministry of War say?"
Fang Ying said coldly: "Let me lead the Henan Dusi to return to the army with King Qin, and then gather the troops of the remaining regiments to defend the north!"
Zhou Donglai became increasingly suspicious.
It's weird.
For such a big matter, Fang Ying neither produced the documents from the Ministry of War nor the imperial edict from His Majesty, but he spoke with certainty. In addition, Fang Ying sent two thousand people to besiege the Tang Palace. This matter is very strange.
He asked: "May I ask, Lord Marquis, if you have His Majesty's imperial edict or documents from the Ministry of War?"
Fang Ying had no expression on her face, "It's His Majesty's oral order."
Oral instruction, what do you want me to show you?
The general asked: "Where is the father-in-law who delivered the order?"
Fang Ying, "In the Tang Palace, His Majesty's oral instructions are given, asking the Tang Palace to provide money and food. If nothing unexpected happens, His Highness the Tang Dynasty will prepare military pay and food for many soldiers of the Henan Dusi tomorrow!"
As long as you dare to go to Tang Prince's Mansion, you will die.
Zhou Donglai stopped talking.
Because Fang Ying's explanation was reasonable, it also explained why he wanted to surround the Tang Prince's Mansion with a large number of troops, because if he didn't surround it, His Highness the Tang Prince might not be willing to pay for the money and food, and even if he did, he would still be short-changed.
Fang Ying continued: "But Henan Dusi wants to leave some troops behind, and the combat strength is low, so I will lead three thousand elite troops on the regiment camp, and Deputy Commander-in-Chief Huang Shi will lead the rest of the troops to continue southward into the jurisdiction of Huguang .”
He is not worried that the regiment camp will return to the army to chase him.
Yu Qian's position was obvious to everyone in the regiment and camp, and by the time Huangshi saw the situation clearly, he had already entered the Gyeonggi area. At that time, if he led his army to turn around, he would be unable to make a comeback.
When Huang Shi heard this, he thought, Wow, I can lead the army alone to put down the rebellion.
This is a great opportunity for promotion and salary increase!
Agree immediately.
As long as the counter-rebellion is successful and Yu Shaobao supports him, he should be an uncle no matter what.
Even Huang Shi agreed, what could the others say.
That's it.
Fang Ying immediately ordered his troops, joined Zhou Donglai, and commanded Tang Yu and his three thousand households. A total of 3,000 people followed Fang Ying back to Beijing. These 3,000 people had all participated in the defense of Beijing and were the best among the best!
Among them, two generals, Wang Linyuan and Tang Yu, had contacts with Wang Zhen during the Baozong period. For this reason, they were ostracized in the regiment camp.
Yu Qian also had a repressive attitude towards them.
So I am willing to follow Fang Ying to start a rebellion. This chapter has been completed!
