The next day, Zhu Jinghong got up early and went to the Wangfu Primary School, leading a group of guards to play polo.
The polo match was very loud, making the palace uneasy.
But he didn't fight for a while when Deng An came to report that Tang Jian, the governor of the rear army governor's mansion, came to pay his respects.
In terms of long-lasting inheritance, Tang Jian’s Tang family is the most powerful. His ancestor was Tang He who followed Taizu to establish the country. The Tang family’s inheritance can be said to be the same as the country.
However, in accordance with the downgrade to the rank set by the ancestors, the Tang family has now been demoted to the rank of earl.
But at present, there is no actual duke. In the era when the marquis was the highest, the gold content of the earl was extremely high.
But on the contrary, Tang Jian's high-ranking title was still the governor-general, while those with lower titles, such as the Shi family, the Liu family, and the Hou family, now have the highest-level military commanders such as the governor-general.
This also reflects a certain sense of checks and balances. The higher the upper limit of the title, the lower the upper limit. The higher the upper limit of the lower title, the higher the upper limit can be promoted. Among the senior nobles, it is possible to take turns to "take the throne", and the imperial power is as stable as Mount Tai. pattern.
"Invite him in!" Zhu Jinghong responded.
After a while, an old man about fifty years old, wearing gray casual robes, appeared on the campus under the guidance of Deng An.
The polo match is still going on at this moment. The two teams are chasing each other, and the field is very lively.
Although Tang Jian has gray hair on his temples, he is in very good spirits, and that energy may allow him to take further steps.
"General Tang Jian, please sit down!" Deng An ordered someone to bring a stool.
"No need... I can stand and watch, and I can also move around!" Tang Jian declined.
Tang Jian is very cautious, and he knows very well that Zhu Jinghong is playing polo at this moment, and he is not qualified to sit and watch.
After waiting for a few minutes, Zhu Jinghong was no longer picking up the score, so he ordered the guards to continue while he quit.
Deng An quickly led the eunuchs up with towels and tea, but Zhu Jinghong only took the towels.
While wiping the sweat on his forehead, Zhu Jinghong said: "General Tang, what kind of wind...brought you here?"
"Reporting to Your Highness, I will go to Hubei tomorrow. To counter the rebellion, the Holy Father reminded me that if there is anything unclear... you can ask His Highness for advice!"
Tang Jian can indeed grasp the key points, and these words put Zhu Jinghong's mind at ease.
"The affairs in Hunan are complicated. I am afraid that I will make a mistake in handling them, so I came here to ask for advice from His Highness. I hope that Your Highness will not hesitate to give you some advice!"
"You are a veteran in the army, and you know the way. ...Why do you need to ask me for advice?"
Going around Tang Jian, Zhu Jinghong sat on a chair, looked at the horse-riding arena in the distance, and said, "My dad said it casually, but you took it seriously! "
"In the palace
"Look...you don't have a word of truth. It shows that you are indeed an old cunning person!" "
Tang Jian is an earl and leads the governor Qian to do his duties. He is called an old slicker by Zhu Jinghong. At this moment, he has no objection in his heart.
FarewellSpeaking of him, Zhu Jinghong, the commander-in-chief and even the commander-in-chief above him, can now suppress him, and joking with him is just like playing.
Part of Zhu Jinghong's confidence is because he is a prince, but more of it comes from his solid military achievements, which people can only look up to.
Normally speaking, a person with such high merit as Zhu Jinghong should not exist in a physical sense.
Tang Jian hooked his waist and replied: "After all, I have lived all these years. If I don't even know how to be cunning, then I will really be wasting my salary from the Holy Spirit!"
Zhu Jinghong laughed when he heard this, and then ordered someone to bring a chair to Tang Jian, who then sat down carefully.
After having tea with Tang Jian, Zhu Jinghong said in a deep voice: "You are here for Hunan matters, but I have a few words to tell you!"
Tang Jian was immediately stunned. Sitting upright, he looked like he was listening to instructions.
"This time we go, we must prepare carefully in the early stage and do not act rashly. Once we want to move... we must use thunderous momentum to take down the thieves in one go!"
"On a steady basis, Go ahead, launch the most violent and rapid attack, and never give the thieves a chance to breathe!"
Hearing these words from Zhu Jinghong, Tang Jian was actually very surprised. He had similar feelings to the emperor. Zhu Jinghong is making a fuss out of a molehill.
But they were more "professional" after all, so Tang Jian didn't question it.
"When a lion fights a rabbit, you must use all your strength. You must not take it lightly!"
"The three capital divisions of Hunan, Hubei, and Guizhou have nearly 100,000 troops. Even if you only call Half of it is enough for you to kill these rebels!"
Aware of Tang Jian's words, "General Tang, you have to understand... If something goes wrong again, I'm afraid you will end up as an official. ”
It’s hard to convince people with reason, but interests can easily achieve your goals.
If something goes wrong and affects his official career, Tang Jian cannot accept the result.
Now the emperor has authorized him to mobilize troops from the three provinces. Even if it is to keep his official title, he will do his best to attack fiercely.
"Thank you for your advice, Your Highness!" Tang Jian said solemnly.
…………
In the blink of an eye, more than a month has passed, and the time has come to the end of August.
In a mountain col in Chenzhou Prefecture, Hunan, Liu Zhuming was sitting on the rocks with a knife in his hand. At this moment, his face was ashen and he was staring at the gravel on the ground.
His head was wrapped in a cloth, and the cloth was stained with blood, which showed that he had been seriously injured.
Besides him were a group of remnant soldiers, almost all of whom were injured. Some were being bandaged, some were resting, and some were eating...
Previously Liu Zhuming did not win the game, but wanted to play steadily and continue to consolidate his own strength.
Later, he did exactly what he did, inciting the people while building city defenses, and at the same time sent people to spread the theory of the uprising.
Dividing fields, winning people's hearts, and winning over scholars... these things are his fundamentals.
He justThe purpose is to occupy as many prefectures and counties as possible while the court is still recovering, so that there will be more room for maneuver.
His next plan is to establish a foothold in Chenzhou and then develop in the mountainous areas to the south and west. The strength of these local governments is relatively weak.
Everything was as he expected, but after mid-July, things changed.
The imperial court sent a new governor, Qian Shi, to mobilize elite troops from Hubei, Hunan, and Guizhou provinces to encircle and suppress him from three directions.
Due to the coordination of high-level generals, the three capital divisions did not argue with each other, and they cooperated very well in marching and fighting, forming a very stable encirclement.
Although the three capitals only used a total of 30,000 troops, they were defeated and lost their armor. They lost their cities one after another and were driven back to the mountains.
However, the imperial court did not stop the strangulation. Even if Liu Zhuming hid in the ravine, the officers and soldiers were already guarding the important roads and at the same time sent troops into the mountains to pursue him.
For more than half a month, Liu Zhuming has been hiding in Tibet, with fewer and fewer followers around him. Now there are only a hundred or ten people left.
"Your Majesty, the officers and soldiers are following closely behind, we should hurry up!"
The speaker was Li Qinghou. Although the military advisor was not injured, he looked panicked. Even more embarrassed.
"Your Majesty, it's all bullshit..." Liu Zhuming smiled bitterly.
How lofty his ideals were once, but now Liu Zhuming is so decadent.
At this time, he wished he could kill himself with a knife, so that he would no longer suffer from the pain.
"Your Majesty, please keep the green hills here and don't worry about running out of firewood... It's time for us to leave!" Li Qinghou said with a serious expression.
He wants to live, so he is more anxious than Liu Zhuming.
"Do we still have a chance?" Liu Zhuming smiled bitterly.
Li Qinghou nodded: "As long as you live, you have a chance!"
"I will believe you again!" Liu Zhuming stood up.
Looking at the brothers in the distance, Liu Zhuming shouted: "Brothers, it's time to hurry up!"
Everyone immediately stood up and followed him towards the depths of the mountain. , the only way to escape is to hide in the mountains.
Liu Zhuming did not know that as he was defeated like a mountain, there was an undercurrent deep among his subordinates.
The person who stirred up this undercurrent was a secret agent from the Jinyiwei Hunan Qianhu Office. He had infiltrated the ranks of the thieves as early as half a month ago.
Now that the rebels have been defeated and are as panic-stricken as a lost dog, it is time for him to make contributions.
Privately, he has spread the reward for his connections. Anyone who captures Liu Zhuming alive will be pardoned and will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver.
Not to mention the generous reward of a thousand taels, just the pardon of innocence is enough to make many people have different intentions, but Liu Zhuming knows nothing about it.
After leading the team for a while, they came to a cliff. It would take a lot of effort to cross it.
Everyone took out the ropeThe hooks were thrown up to the edge. After several times, one hook came out of the tree, and then a person with strong skills climbed up.
After this person went up, he tied two more rope ladders, and then everyone climbed up.
In order to calm people's hearts, Liu Zhuming chose to go up last at this time, which gave the "traitors" an opportunity to take advantage of.
After most of the people went up, the man who had been appointed as Qianhu by Liu Zhuming approached Liu Zhuming with a few confidants.
"Your Majesty, there is something... I need to ask you for a favor!"
"What favor?" Liu Zhuming asked subconsciously.
But when he turned around, he was directly knocked down by several people approaching, and then his weapons were disarmed. This scene shocked everyone present.
The people who took action did not dare to delay. They dragged Liu Zhuming away and ran away, for fear that others would come to "rescue him."
But these people really thought too much. Although it was surprising that Liu Zhuming was captured, for most people it was still important to escape.
In addition to more than a dozen people scolding him, only two people followed him. However, after chasing for a few steps and seeing that no one else was moving, they both stopped.
The most anxious Li Qinghou immediately turned around and stayed away after scolding him. He was afraid that he would also be robbed by these people.
But before he had taken a few steps, he heard someone behind him say: "Military advisor, why are you leaving in such a hurry!"
Liu Zhuming was arrested just now, which obviously had a certain demonstration effect. , so there will be the second only if there is the first.
Capturing the two thieves' leaders will exempt them from guilt. Everyone who escaped knew this news, but they were afraid of Liu Zhuming's danger and did not dare to move.
Now that someone is taking action, others will be bolder!
So, the two people who caused chaos in Hunan were captured in a slightly ridiculous way.
That afternoon, Liu Zhuming and his two men were brought to Tang Jian. They had more injuries than when they were arrested at noon. Obviously, the whole transfer process was not less painful.
The rebellion was completely wiped out. Tang Jian was in a very good mood at this time, so he felt less hatred towards the two rebels in front of him.
Going towards the two people kneeling in the hall, Tang Jian looked at them carefully and said to the people around him: "Why did the beating end up like this?"
It had been agreed before that if the thief was captured alive, The leader will be sent to a public trial. If he is beaten to death, Tang Jian will not be able to explain.
The commander-in-chief of Hunan Dusi was present and saw him leaning forward and replied: "Commander, because of these two people,"
Tang Jian did not say much, but looked at He turned to the guard on one side and said, "Let them talk!"
After receiving the order, the guard immediately stepped forward and removed the gags from the mouths of the two men.
"What do you two have to say?"
Tang Jian wanted to hear the two men apologize, but Liu Zhuming asked: "Who are you?"
Tang Jian almost laughed when he heard this. The two of them were still in the mood to ask him questions.
"This general...is the governor of the rear army governor's mansion, and a trusted minister Bo Tangjian!"
Liu Zhuming was deeply surprised, and then asked: "I am a little thief, why bother you, a great god!"
Tang Jian sat back on the throne, He said slowly: "To be valued so much by the Thirteenth Master, you are not an ordinary thief!"
"The Thirteenth Master? Prince Xiang?" Liu Zhuming asked belatedly.
Picking up the tea cup, Tang Jian calmly replied: "Exactly!"
"It seems that after all, he is the real dragon and I am the loach... The loser is not unfair, the loser is the winner." No injustice!" Liu Zhuming was completely convinced.
The last and most powerful opponent he set for himself was Zhu Jinghong, but he had nothing to say after losing to this man.
Tang Jian saw that this man was completely depressed. He wanted to say something but felt it was meaningless, so he ordered people to take the two of them down.
"Commander, the bandits have been wiped out, you can rest assured!" the commander of Hunan Dusi said with a smile.
"Yes...you can't sleep peacefully!" Tang Jian said with a smile.
…………
Seven days later, Liu Zhuming and his two men were taken to Changsha Mansion, where the provincial government of Hunan is located.
Wang Pei'an, who was governor of Hunan, had only been in office for ten days, but he had already done a lot.
The first one is that the Chief Secretary has been obeyed by the Chief Secretary. Now he only feels respectful and respectful in doing things.
As for Hunan local magistrates, he has basically met them all, and has already carried out preliminary crackdowns on these people.
Wang Pei'an is not afraid of offending people, and others know that he is upright. The most important thing is that his background is very tough, so they dare not neglect him at all.
So in just ten days, he established his authority in Hunan and was able to carry out drastic governance.
Of course, his main task now is to verify, and it is not time to move people yet.
When Liu Zhuming and Liu Zhuming were brought, he immediately convened a trial.
There are more than 20 officials in total including the Chief Secretary, the Inspector General, the Censor of the Patrol City, and the chief officials of nearby prefectures and counties.
The case was being tried at the Changsha government office, so all the officials arrived early, and no one dared to show off to Wang Pei'an.
However, many people thought they had arrived early, only to find that Wang Pei'an had arrived early.
Everyone chatted for a while, and soon the trial officially began, and Liu Zhuming and his two men were escorted up.
"Rebel, do you know your crime?" the prefect of Changsha asked after patting the scaffolding.
“I was forced by the tycoons of the government to have no way to survive, so I just raised an army to seek survival... What crime am I guilty of?”
“Nonsense, in this peaceful and prosperous age, why do you have no way to survive? ?" the Changsha magistrate scolded.
"Peaceful times? The county government levied taxes five times in the first half of the year? The landowner forced us to pay donations. I had no money and my land was taken away. My house was burned down... This is what you call peace. "A prosperous age?"
Of course this is what happened, and Liu Zhuming is not the worst person.
As a parent official in one place, the same is true for many people.this.
As long as the court tasks can be completed,
Chenzhou Prefecture is out of trouble, and all the officials in the prefecture and county will apologize, which will sound the alarm to others.
"Since there are such evil things, why don't you report it to the official?"
Hearing the words of the official in the hall, Liu Zhuming laughed and said: "Why didn't Zhu Chongba report it to the official?" "Reporting to the official?"
This sentence almost scared everyone present to death. At this moment, all the officials' eyes were swept to the quiet room on the east side, where people from Jin Yiwei and Dongchang were listening.
There was no movement inside at this time, which made the officials feel more at ease.
"Come here, give me a severe punishment!" The Changsha prefect threw the command arrow.
At this time, no one dared to stop the torture, not even Wang Pei'an.
After being severely punished, Liu Zhuming no longer looked like a human being, but he was also really tough and would not say anything except some treacherous remarks.
