Begging in late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 487 Fengyang Mutiny
In the north of the Ming Dynasty, the heartland was already covered by war clouds, but the Jiangnan and Huaihe Rivers remained the last piece of pure land in the Ming Dynasty. It was already July when Gao Qiqian arrived at the Huaihe River with the imperial decree after starting from the capital. It was the time when Zhuang's parents were at their best, and Fengyang Mansion, which is said to have experienced a drought for nine out of ten years, was actually lush and lush farmland, covered with golden and heavy wheat.

The entire Lianghuai area can be regarded as Song Qingshu's defense area in name, although in fact it is only trapped in Huaixi, Huainan and some cities along the Yangtze River, but this Fengyang is also under his rule. The officials of the Lin party clamored every day that Jiangnan was about to be taken over by someone Song, but from this point of view, it seemed that the rumors were really different from the facts.

If a virtuous prime minister comes here, Song Qingshu can't help being favored and promoted, but Gao Qiqian is an eunuch, and he doesn't care much about the common people. He was just surprised, and then went south all the way. , When he stopped to rest, he didn't even care that the horses accompanying Jin Yiwei went to eat the wheat of the common people.

"Oh, who are you, don't gnaw any more, this is four hundred and two hundred loads of wheat!"

Just when the master of Jin Yiwei was letting his horse comfortably, a fat and fat squire suddenly jumped out of the field, slapped his thigh and shouted, "It's rare to come to Beijing to run the emperor's firewood. When something happened, let alone something happened, Jin Yiwei Qianhu Peng Ju immediately pulled out his knife ferociously, put it on the squire's neck, and opened his mouth to curse.

"Blind your dog's eyes, see clearly, whose car is this, the supervisor of ceremonies holds the pen, and the Lianghuai Road Supervising Army Soldiers and Horses envoy Gao Qi Qiangao's car! Eat some wheat from you to think highly of you! Four taels of silver A load? Still want to blackmail Eunuch Gao? I think you don't want to live anymore!"

"What nonsense are you talking to him?" Xue Le, the other Dongchang stall, went up and pulled out the big shackle with a grim face, "I think this guy is a rogue, pretending to be a commoner to spy on our military situation, and he's done. Blew his house!"

Where have you seen such an arrogant and unreasonable robber?The squire was frightened and stupid, his legs softened, and he kowtowed to beg for forgiveness: "My lord, spare me, the young man has been a good citizen for generations, my late father, my late father was also the magistrate of Taiyuan County, the young one is really not a thief! A thief Let Fool Song recruit them away!"

"If you say no, you are not? I also said that you are..."

"stop!"

Gao Qiqian coughed, raised his hand, and the two vicious dogs that seemed to be biting just now immediately waved their tails, stopped and retreated, and clasped their fists at Gao Qiqian together: "Old ancestor!"

It's not because of kindness or something. This time, he was ordered to kill Song Qingshu and take over the Lianghuai army. The matter has not been completed yet. Gao Qiqian didn't want to cause trouble, so he reached out and recalled two biting dogs. This scheming man The dead eunuch beckoned to the fat man with a pleasant face.

"Tell me, the thieves in these two Huaihe Rivers were recruited away by some idiot Song, who is this idiot Song!"

"Ah, back to Eunuch Gao, this idiot Song is the general soldier of the Lianghuai Song Dynasty. Idiot Song was his nickname in the Jianghu. Call him so contemptuous!"

"Hmph, Song Zongbing is here to bring you peace, but you still despise him? He's a wolf-hearted thing!"

After all, he was born in a warrior. Along the way, he saw how many thieves burned down their houses and ruined their families. It was rare to see some peace. It was rare that Peng Ju, a thousand households, also spoke a fair word, but the squire's words could not be ignored. The high dive could not help shaking his head secretly.

These days, he is a general, and he must have fewer troops than those listed in the military book, otherwise he would go on someone's empty pay, but the rebellious soldiers in Lianghuai were recruited away by Song Qingshu. There are 3 people, maybe there are another [-] to [-], and since he was born as a thief, after killing him, it may not be so easy to control him.

Just in the midst of Gao Qiqian's thoughts, he still kept his kung fu on the other side of the rice field, and a fat man led a dozen guys who looked like buddies just walked over from the other side of the field swaggeringly. They couldn't help being stunned, seeing the fat landlord kneeling on the ground, they also stepped forward and clasped their fists, and immediately asked the fat landlord who was kneeling for the fat businessman.

"Master Kang, this is Song's fifth visit. Our Jiaduobaoliang shop is full of sincerity. We will give you five taels of silver for a load of wheat. Just wait for a word from you. Our shop will give you all the harvesters! Can't you always give me some face?"

Although there was a major event on the table, Fatty Kang really stood firm, and his chubby head immediately shook violently.

"My family's grain is only sold by Rulin Grain, and the rest of the family will not sell it at all!"

Five taels of silver for a load of wheat?
Gao Qiqian already thought he was bragging. He is also a big landlord in Beizhili. Even if the grain in the capital is not so expensive, the eunuch who heard this amount couldn't help but get out of his chair. stood up.

"Even if it's tribute wheat, it can't be five taels of silver for a load, right? You actually accept it for five taels of silver, and you, a businessman, accept five taels of silver for a load. Are you stupid?"

"My lord, what do you know? We are the grain number under the command of the Lianghuai Song General Army. We are rich and powerful, and we can afford this money!"

As expected of a business commissioner, a big shopkeeper who purchases, never forgets to put money on his business name!But seeing the fat man smugly patting his chest, Gao Qiqian couldn't help revealing a greedy look in his eyes.

Unexpectedly, this Song Qingshu is so rich, this time to take him down, he must copy everything to the sky!

.........

With a belly full of greed, Gao Qiqian arrived in Fengyang County, Fengyang Prefecture on July 2000th. As soon as he entered the city, he immediately went to the governor's office. A while ago, Ma Shiying took Fengyang Prefecture soldiers to Huguang to participate in the war against Zhang Xianzhong However, after Zhang Xianzhong entered Shu, he was sent back because of the lack of food and pay, and the [-] men were of no use.

Ma Shiying was blocked in the study by Gao Qiqian before waiting to go to the newly renovated Fengyang government office.

"Ma Shiying, do you know the crime?"

This stern roar scared the Fengyang military and political leader into a big jump. He immediately threw himself on the ground and kowtowed again and again: "Mr. Anju, I really don't know what crime I committed?"

"Not guilty? You are a dignified second-rank official of the imperial court. You let a vulgar warrior turn upside down and drive him like a dog. The majesty of the court and the face of His Majesty have been thrown away by you. How can you still not be guilty?"

After saying this, Gao Qiqian was clearly in Ma Shiying's eyes, and he could see a deep jealousy, and he couldn't help being happy when he saw it. Sure enough, these civil servants are all arrogant, how could they be willing to be ridden on their necks by warriors? .

Killing Song Qingshu is not the main purpose, the main purpose is to receive the troops of the Lianghuai River and Huaihe River, and by the way, accept Song Qingshu's Wanguan family wealth. This requires the help of him, a local snake, to use the prestige of the governor to suppress the generals of the begging army who are about to move. Ma Shiying angrily kowtowed and apologized again and again, Gao Qiqian's gloomy face showed an old fox-like smile again, and he stretched out his hand to help Ma Shiying up.

"However, the emperor and his elders also know that Governor Ma is weak alone, and you are not strong enough to deal with vulgar warriors like Song thieves. This time, I have specially sent this governor to help Governor Ma. Your Majesty wants to eradicate Song thieves and let Mr. Ma Let’s take a look at the military affairs of the two Huaihe Rivers! Shang Fang’s sword is here.”

For a split second, Ma Shiying's eyes were full of ecstasy, and he immediately followed suit and bowed: "Ma has been suffering from this warrior for a long time, thank you father-in-law for coming to help, but father-in-law, this Song thief is not easy to kill! His men There are a total of 6 to [-] people, and most of them are rebellious, and there are only [-] people in the hands of the humble officials, and the strength is very different. It is difficult to kill him!"

As expected of an eunuch, full of scheming and tricks, after pulling Ma Shiying to sit down, Gao Qi hinted with a sinister smile: "Don't you see how Yuan Chonghuan killed Mao Wenlong back then? And all the generals under the Song thief were loyal to him? After all, this world belongs to the imperial court, as long as we get rid of Song Qingshu and lure him with the position of commander-in-chief, we don't have to worry about them not obeying orders, Master Ma just needs to prepare candidates in advance!"

Hearing this, Ma Shiying's eyes lit up again, and he stroked his beard and began to think. After a while, he immediately nodded emphatically.

"Liu Zongmin, the lieutenant general of the Song thief army, has always been arrogant and domineering. He was reprimanded several times by the Song thief. He must be dissatisfied. There is also Sima Sun Chuanting who joined the army. He was born as a scholar and has a heart of loyalty to the court. There is also guerrilla Zhou Yuji. Loyal man!"

"Very good, this time the emperor ordered our family to bring the imperial decree. Mr. Ma needs to step up preparations in the past few days. At that time, he will be recruited to Fengyang in the name of negotiating salary. At that time, let him come here without returning!"

The slack face suddenly revealed a ruthless look, Gao Qiqian immediately slapped the table hard, and said murderously.

…………

The governor's mansion in Fengyang has been really busy these days. Among the two thousand governor's pacesetters, five hundred of the most elite soldiers were selected, led by Ma Biao, the governor's mansion, to ambush inside the governor's mansion. There are more than 100 masters specially selected in Jinyiwei and Dongchang, and more than 100 capable Jinyiwei are also ambushed in the corridor under the main hall. If you want to say that the Ming Dynasty’s routine is not ordinary, when Emperor Chongzhen trapped Yuan Chonghuan, he gave The reason for the payment was to discuss the salary, and this time it was also for Song Qingshu. On July [-]th, Song Qingshu, the general soldier of the Huaihe River and Huaihe River, was recruited to discuss the salary in Fengyang Mansion for the purpose of crusade against trespassers.

But this trick is really effective, on July 200th, Song Qingshu brought more than [-] personal soldiers, and they really came!
This year, he was busy developing Taiwan. Song Qingshu was a little older because of the busy work. The young man, holding a long knife and wearing a high samurai ponytail, seemed quite energetic.

It seemed that he was used to coming to the Governor's Mansion, and led his soldiers to the gate. With only a dozen or so people with him, Song Qingshu walked into the Governor's Hall very normally. Then he raised his spirits and gave Gao Qiqian a hug. Fist, warmly greeted: "Gao Gonggong, Guangzong is farewell, the style is still the same! It's not like a man with poor fortune, but he is a bit older."

"Hehe, Song Zongbing was joking. Mr. Zongbing is in his prime, and everyone says he is old. Isn't my old bone going to be put in a coffin?"

After a few polite words, Gao Qiqian immediately turned serious, and said to Song Qingshu again: "Our family is on official business, and the military situation in Henan is urgent, let's put public affairs first and private affairs first! The emperor has an order, and Song Qingshu, the left governor, listens to the announcement !"

"The final general will accept the order!"

Seemingly unaware of the imminent danger, Song Qingshu clasped his fists as a matter of course and knelt down, looked at his head below, and sighed regretfully in his heart, he is a good general, but his ambition is too great, it's a pity, The eunuch lowered his voice and read with high spirits.

"Following the heavens, the emperor ordered that Song Qingshu, as the commander-in-chief, did not think about reporting the emperor's favor. He repeatedly resisted orders and disrespected him. He refused to send troops. He was arrogant and domineering. He blocked the grain roads. It is so serious that it cannot be tolerated by the laws of the country, and it will be handed over to Gao Qiqian, the eunuch of the supervising army, to take it down!"

What he said was really stern, he glared at King Kong, and after reading the imperial decree, Gao Qiqian lowered his hands in enjoyment, wanting to see the frightened and remorseful expression on Song Qingshu's face, but what surprised him was that Song Qingshu didn't care He yawned and stood up slowly.

"Eunuch Gao finished delivering the decree? Then I will leave. I didn't sleep well last night, and I was very sleepy!"

I really don't know if Song Qingshu was too nervous or didn't hear clearly. Gao Qiqian felt dumbfounded for a while, but it was Jin Yiwei Qianhu Peng Ju who took the lead to draw out his knife and yelled loudly: "Song thief, you are still pretending to be crazy when you are about to die. Take it!"

"Tsk tsk, brother, don't get excited, accidents are easy!"

Song Qingshu was still nodding his head slowly, while Jin Yiwei, who had been in ambush for a long time, had already drawn his knife under the corridor, but before these twisted perverts rushed up excitedly, a change happened. The governor's pacesetter who planned to deal with Song Qingshu's personal soldiers did not know when he went around the back, and a neat row of bayonets pierced through them. After a few swipes, a full seventy or eighty guards in brocade clothes fell to the ground first.

"Fengyang soldiers have rebelled!"

Don't care about killing Song Qingshu, the imminent killing intent forced those Jinyiwei, the Dongchang masters had to shout and hurried back, and surrounded the courtyard with the governor's elite soldiers, fighting in the corridor, the Dongchang masters did have some real skills, As for Xue Le, the head of the double-hammer wheel, a pair of 30-pound sledgehammers was wielded violently by him. After being pierced through the waist by two bayonets at the back, and pierced into a gourd of blood by seven or eight bayonets in the chest, he fell to the ground very hard.

There are more than 50 people around Gao Qiqian, seeing the ambushes like this, Peng raised a corner, what kind of sky-shattering kite Dinghaishenzhen took out his fellows, roared and rushed forward, but Song Qingshu's soldiers who had been waiting at the door for a long time also pressed Unable to bear it, the double revolvers also rushed in and started working left and right, and saw gunshots crackling in the room, iron cloth shirts covered with gold bells, and white stripes in the waves of a reed crossing the river, all fell to the ground vomiting blood.

As for the leader, he was ruthless at the critical moment. He dragged two subordinates to block the guns. Taking advantage of the time to change the bullets, Peng Ju threw at Song Qingshu ferociously with an embroidered spring knife.

"I killed you!"

With a bang, the young man in green beside Song Qingshu unsheathed his saber, and his footsteps flew up to meet him. The two of them staggered, the saber flashed, and immediately they held the saber at the same time as in the TV drama.

Impressively withdrew the saber, wiped off the blood on his fingers, returned the saber into the sheath in a smooth manner, and the heroic young man returned to Song Qingshu arrogantly with his arms folded, with a plop, Peng Ju fell to the ground with a puff , a large stream of blood gushed out from his neck.

There are more than 200 people in Jinyiwei and the East Factory. At this time, only Gao Qiqian stood there dumbfounded holding an imperial decree, watching Song Qingshu yawn again...
