9.19 Clean up Jinling, prepare for war

That night, in Jinling City, in the backyard of the governor's yamen, Wei Xu didn't let the girls work hard, flew into the city by himself, and brought a group of elite soldiers from his home to surround the place directly.

"My lords are still discussing state affairs so late, it really makes Wei feel ashamed!" Looking at the bustling banquet scene in front of him, Wei Xu had a deeper understanding of "the wine and meat of the wealthy family stinks, and the bones on the road are frozen to death".

In the backyard hall in front of you, there were four tables in total, and nearly thirty officials all drank a lot, and they didn't intend to leave at all. Even when Wei Xu brought people in, some people continued to serve dishes with trays.

The wine is the first-class daughter red, and the dishes are extremely complete. There are eight cold and eight hot dishes, plus the big ones in the middle, such as abalone, sea cucumber, bird's nest and shark's fin. unclear.

Just a table of food and drink, without 20 taels is not enough, and this is the cost price. A well-off family in a feudal society could not afford a table of chewing fruit for a year. Converted to modern times, this table is more than [-] , A banquet ate up the down payment for buying a house in an ordinary county-level city!
"General Wei?" Zhao Hang, the governor, was stunned for a moment before he realized, "You only know how to fight when you are not outside the city, what are you doing here—no, Jinling City is still under siege, how did you get in?"

"It won't be soon." Wei Xu didn't care about his last question, he just wanted to take advantage of the last chance to get some information, "Why, have you discussed how to deal with me after the war? I just don't know, it's nothing or nothing crime?"

"Huh?" Wang Bo was the first to wake up, and realized that his own plan had been leaked, and some things naturally matched, "It turns out that the youth of the militias in various places has completely fallen, and there has never been a single case of success. It is all because of you." Damn it! Aren't you afraid of retribution after the fall?"

"Then it's none of your business." Wei Xu smiled disdainfully, "It's been such a long time, and you still want to play 'local power', you want Jiangnan to return to the state of the former Ming Dynasty?

The gentry don’t pay taxes or serve in the military. The army is the lackeys of the civil officials, and the people are the pigs and sheep of the gentry. Apart from your benefits, there is nothing in the world that cannot be sold. Even if there is a foreign invasion, you can continue to surrender, right? "

The faces of all the people present changed drastically. Zhao Hang and Wang Bo looked at each other, their expressions became extremely dignified. They had already realized that they might not be kind today.

"It seems that we won't survive tonight." Zhao Hang managed to regain his composure, but his tone was still terrified, "Aren't you afraid of the imperial court's law if you act like this today?

Don't forget, we are just Jiangnan officials, and the imperial court is in the capital. If we die, it doesn't mean that you will be fine in the future. As long as the imperial court sends more officials, this matter will definitely be investigated further, and you can't escape of! "

"Wei doesn't understand what you mean." Even though it was a completely overwhelming advantage, Wei Xu still didn't let go, "I just didn't expect that the Bailian rioters would dig a tunnel under Jinling City and send an elite force into the city to harass the city, in an attempt to attack both inside and outside.

Unfortunately, your lords are gathering to discuss matters, and it is too late when you find the rioters. Your lords are so talented, but they are killed in the hands of a group of rioters. Alas—alas! "

As for the tunnel, it is naturally the one that the Xu family of Chengenhou Mansion communicated with the outside world. With the current spiritual cultivation of the Wei family, it is not a big deal to find an underground tunnel less than two meters from the ground. Haichuan's external tentacles.

I don't know how much he paid for building this tunnel. For example, the entrance inside the city is a large courtyard, which nominally belongs to a big Jinling family; the exit outside the city happens to be in a courtyard in a poor area, belonging to a small gang under the White Lotus Sect.

"No wonder I always feel that something is wrong when I see your wars these days. So you have turned your back on it!" When the scene was full of panic, Wang Bo suddenly spoke, and he pointed to the core in one sentence.

"Oh?" Wei Xu didn't even bother to refute, what's the real deal with a group of dead people? "Don't mind telling me, how did you find out?"

"So you're really rebellious?" Now everyone's face turned pale, and Wang Bo lost his composure just now, "I lied to you just because I was a little suspicious, I didn't expect you"

"I thought you really saw something." Wei Xu's mood faded, "Okay, everyone, if you go all the way, you must be able to get a sacrificial oration written by His Majesty, and maybe there will be a court sacrificial offering."

"General Wei, the last general has long seen that the world is in turmoil, and he intends to follow the Ming Lord to do great things. Now that he is lucky enough to meet him, it is really an eye opener, and please accept the master general!" The speaker was a commander of the city defense army, Responsible for the east wall.

"General, the lower officials are also willing to serve"

"My lord is really a gift from heaven, and he will be able to dominate the world in the future"

What made Wei Xu speechless was that a small half of the people in the hall shouted disgusting slogans and declared that they would take effect, so that Zhao Hang and Wang Bo turned pale with anger.

"Shameless, you shameless people, who have been favored by the emperor in every life, did such shameless things. I am ashamed to be with you!" Zhao Hang roared angrily.

"Okay, stop yelling. If you have anything to do, you can go to Huangquan Road and chat slowly." Wei Xu waved his hand impatiently. This kind of wall grass and trash snacks are useless.Just when he brought people in, he cleared away all kinds of guards and servants along the way. Now in the governor's office, all the living people were in this hall. After a burst of screams, everything returned to calm.

"My lord, we've checked everything, and no one is left alive." A chief banner came in to report.

"Okay, clean it up and withdraw it. Anyone who suspects that they are not dead will be repaired. I don't like to leave tails behind." Wei Xu's tone now is a standard villain, "Remember to set the fire when you are done, and watch Burn it clean and go."

"Yes, young master!" Zong Qi went down to make arrangements in a cold sweat.

Back home, the girls at the "Zhengwukou" didn't rest, they all saw the soaring flames coming from the direction of the governor's office!
Not only those officials, but also the major families in Jinling, and even the southern branch of the four kings and eight princes have tidied up a little half, so as not to let people see the flaws, the manpower is naturally left over from before.

If we don’t clean up these “future troubles” that have failed to succeed but failed, it is impossible to talk about controlling Jiangnan. If they are allowed to take root in the local area, then we will never even think about truly controlling Jiangnan!

"Husband, after all, the news from the capital was a few days ago. Although your plan is good now, is there still time?" Qin Keqing personally stepped forward to pick up Wei Xu and handed her herbal tea, her tone full of worry.

"Don't worry, the [-] Beijing Battalion may really be the elite, but first Xuzhou and then Jining Mansion, after more than a year of idleness, the entire army may have already herded sheep, and it was not so fast to clean up.

All the armies in this world are not like us, who are ready to fight around the clock and all the time. With money in the capital, it takes time to prepare military supplies, and it takes time to transport food and salaries. Even if it is along the canal, it will take ten or eight days. No play.

Besides, on the army side, even if they try their best to pack up an army that has herded sheep, half a month is considered fast. This is based on the fact that they are really elite. If there is moisture, it will only be slower.

Counting the full fight and the marching time, when they arrive in Xuzhou to meet us, one month is the fastest, maybe it will take longer, even if it is only 20 days, we are all finished. "Wei Xu is completely confident about this.

"That's good." Qin Keqing breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brother Xu, what's going on outside?" Xue Baochai said, pointing to the outside of the city in surprise. It wasn't in one direction, but Jinling City was illuminated by fire on all sides like daytime!
"Tomorrow is going to be a decisive battle. I asked Yu'er and Yun'er to use the fire talisman to warm up the rioters outside, so that they won't be too energetic tomorrow and cause us any losses." Wei Xu said casually.

"Brother Xu, will the civil unrest in the south of the Yangtze River be over after the war tomorrow?" Xue Baoqin asked in surprise.

"The general direction is almost the same, but I still have a part of the county below. I want to clean it up completely. It will be at the end of the year, but I am still sure that the people will have a peaceful year.

Although tomorrow's battle is sure to win, but just in case, you should stop running around, stay at home and wait, when I come back, when will be safe. " Wei Xu said with a smile.

"Husband, we're not weak girls who don't leave the door and don't take the second door." Qin Keqing said angrily, "Even if something goes wrong, won't we run away?"

"I know you can do it!" Wei Xu embraced her with a long kiss, and then he took Baozhu to the bedroom, and after thinking about it, he pulled Xue Baochai. Chuan Shizuka, take it away once, so as not to be full.

Xue Baoqin blushed and spat, pulled up Zhen Yinglian who wanted to follow her and ran out of the room.

"Husband, Yinglian is not young anymore, let's pick a day to let her get started!" I don't know how long they have been flying together, Qin Keqing has long since lost her original shyness, and she still doesn't forget her little maid.

"I regret it a bit." Wei Xu smiled wryly and shook his head, "It's not that you don't know about our family's situation, but she really can't support the wall with mud, how can she keep up in the future? When I married Rui Zhu, That's why."

"That won't work!" Unexpectedly, Qin Keqing's attitude was very firm, "Don't talk about cultivation, just look at her appearance, is it possible that she can still marry?"

"Let's talk about it!" Wei Xu didn't want his wife to be raped, even if it was just because of her looks, but the fact is like this, so we can only see the situation.

"Husband, there will be war tomorrow." Qin Keqing was still worried.

"It's been arranged earlier, and now we don't need to go to the battlefield by ourselves, besides, don't you want to?" Wei Xu asked with a smile.

Then, of course, there was nothing to say.
