Brother Zhu Youxiao

Chapter 50

"Quick, quick! Stand still for me, the Fifth Highness will be here soon, if anyone steals and cheats, go and beat the Thirty Army Sticks first!"

On both sides of the market town road outside Andingmen in Beijing, a mile-long army consisting of tens of thousands of people is forming.

But if you look carefully, only the first, second, and third rows are young and middle-aged people, and the fourth, fifth, and sixth rows are basically thin, even scrawny mobs.

Even the young and middle-aged men in the first three rows, many of them don't even wear the right armor, and their helmets are crooked.

The weapons in their hands are even more varied, some with knives, some with swords, some with sticks, and some with axes for chopping wood.

It is unimaginable that the three guards of Habayashi, who are the guardians of the imperial palace, are actually composed of such an army.

Gradually, when the sound of walking chariots and horseshoes sounded inside the Anding Gate, the three commanders of Habayashi Sanwei swallowed their saliva one after another.

After them, the commander's affairs and colleagues also broke out in cold sweat.

They have all heard of the name of His Highness the Fifth Highness who knows the soldiers, if the Fifth Highness commands the army a little bit, then they will be exposed.

The three guards of Yubayashi have [-] people in name, but in fact, because the soldiers in Beijing only have a salary of [-] yuan a year, they can't recruit all the people at all.

Most of the time, [-] young and strong among them took turns to guard the imperial city, and gave the salary of the other guards to one person, so that they could barely recruit people.

Now that the Ministry of War ordered the transfer of Habayashi Sanwei to Changping, this kind of thing will naturally be revealed.

Although the generals of Habayashi Sanwei pooled their money and rented more than [-] people from the market town, this group of people was diverse, and many of them were even hooligans.

If they go to Changping to practice, half of them will die of exhaustion, and the remaining half will flee at least one-third.

But what else?Let's live through the present first...

With this thought in mind, a group of generals waited quietly for the chariot to leave the city, but the chariot stopped just as it walked out of the Anding Gate.

At this stop, the breathing of all the generals was almost stagnant, and the door of the chariot was opened after that, scaring away their three souls and seven souls.

They trotted forward one after another, then knelt down on one knee in front of the chariot.

"Take the command of Habayashi Zuowei, Xu Wenshou."

"Sign up the Commander of Habayashi Right Guard, Xue Che"

"Sign up Habayashi's vanguard commander, Li Sen"

The three commanders saluted with more than [-] generals behind them, but when the door was pushed open, Zhu Youjian didn't look at them. He just glanced at the three guards of Habayashi on both sides of the road, and he saw the clue.

He already knew about the corruption and incompetence of the twenty-six guards of Shangzhi in the capital, and he didn't feel angry. He just said to Xu Wenshou:

"I don't pursue the past matters. Now I will disband all the people who brought you here to make up the number, load the ordnance into the car, and hand in all the lists of the Habayashi Sanwei within a quarter of an hour."

"If you can't make it up, you don't have to leave!"

With that said, Zhu Youjian turned around and returned to the chariot, letting the chariot block the Anding Gate like this.

"This..." Xu Wenshou and others panicked, they couldn't believe Zhu Youjian's words.

You know, eating empty pay is a matter of decapitation, do they really want to confess?
"What should I do?" Xue Che asked Xu Wenshou nervously.

"I...I don't know either..."

"You can't block the Anding Gate like this, right? The longer it is blocked, the bigger the trouble will be."

Xu Wenshou and Li Sen spoke separately, and at this time, Zhu Youjian opened the window of the carriage, and said to Lu Wenzhao who was seeing him off:
"Take your Jin Yiwei and tell everyone here that anyone who pretends to be the third guard of Habayashi will be fined three hundred taels of silver."

"Those who take off their armor and lay down their weapons can leave on their own, without being held accountable for their fault."

"The humble official takes orders!" Seeing what Zhu Youjian said, Lu Wenzhao pulled out the Yanling Saber and shouted to Jin Yiwei behind him:
"Jin Yiwei obeys!"

"Tell everyone here that those who pretend to be members of the Habayashi Three Guards will be fined three hundred taels of silver. Those who take off their armor and put down their weapons can leave on their own and will not be held accountable for their fault."

"Remaining soldiers, register and register separately!"

"Yes!" Jin Yiwei from Sibai Nanzhen Fusi roared loudly. Xu Wenshou, who was kneeling on the ground, panicked at this moment. Before that, Lu Wenzhao immediately stepped forward and put the Yanling saber on his neck.

At this moment, everyone knew that His Highness the Fifth Highness was playing for real, that he really dared to risk the crime of disturbing the Anding Gate and take them down.

"Take down this group of people!"

As soon as Lu Wenzhao gave an order, fifty Jinyiwei immediately controlled the generals and officials of the three guards of Habayashi.

Seeing this, Xu Wenshou knelt on the ground even with his bound hands and shouted:
"Your Highness, Biaoxia is confused, please give Biaoxia time to burn incense, Biaoxia will definitely not hesitate anymore!"

"It's late..." Zhu Youjian's voice came from inside the chariot.

For him, the dozen or so breaths that this group of generals hesitated were enough for him to do it.

Of course, more importantly...

"What are you doing?! Disturbing Andingmen, rebelling?!"

A familiar and energetic voice came, and one didn't need to think too much to know that it was one of the ministers of Gu Ming, and Yang Lian had arrived during the military affairs.

Sure enough, when the sound of hurried footsteps appeared, someone knocked on Zhu Youjian's car window, and he also opened the car window, facing Yang Lian who was wearing ordinary clothes and an ordinary cloak.

"Your Highness Fifth, what are you doing?!"

Yang Lian's questioning tone made people uncomfortable, but that's what Zhu Youjian wanted.

He raised his chin and gestured:

"As you can see in Yang's incident, the three guards of Habayashi are being investigated on the charge of empty pay."

"Huh?" Hearing this, Yang Lian was surprised, but looked highly at Zhu Youjian.

Dare to use the crime of disturbing the Andingmen to clean up the Habayashi Sanwei. This method is very simple, but it is not something ordinary people dare to do.

Yang Lian calmed down a little, and instantly understood that Zhu Youjian was using himself as a knife.

He, Yang Lian, was in charge of the military department. Under his nose, the three guards of Habayashi, who guarded the imperial city, were found out on empty pay. Naturally, he would come forward for such a thing.

Although everyone knew about the fact that the twenty-six guards of the Shangzhi had no pay, but no one was willing to take care of it.

After all, the twenty-six guards of Shangzhi involved not only the civil servants, but also the Ministry of War, as well as nobles.

Xu Wenshou, Xue Che, and Li Sen, these three are nobles, belonging to Dingguo Duke's Mansion, Yangwuhou Mansion, and Fengcheng Marquis Mansion respectively.

If you want to attack the three of them, you will lose the face of the nobles of the three families.

Yang Lian didn't want to be this villain. After all, the main enemy of their Donglin Party was the Qi, Chu, and Zhejiang Party. If they messed with Xungui again, it could be said that the whole court would be enemies.

But Zhu Youjian deliberately blocked Andingmen, making him rush forward angrily, and after finally telling the cause of the incident, things were not simple.

To put it simply, as long as it is found to be true, the crime of disturbing Andingmen is not important at all, but how to punish Xu Wenshou and the three is the most important thing.

Yang Lian didn't want to block the knife for others, but Zhu Youjian regarded it as a knife.

At this moment, Yang Lian's molars were about to be crushed, but there was nothing he could do...
