General Constitution of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 166 Ye Mausoleum
The news of Wang Zhi's entry into the bandits was sent to the garrison office.

The officials of the various ministries who "strengthfully protect" Ning Jue were brought to the garrison hall almost as soon as they delivered the memorial to the General Secretary.

"...Songjiang, Changzhou, and Suzhou prefectures have requested the Zhenwu Battalion to fight."

In the 24th year of Jiajing, the Zhenwu camp was added, and more than [-] people were selected from the camps to join Huai'an and Yangzhou prefectures Ding Zhuang, and Liu Xian was appointed as the governor.

Eight years later, Liu Xian will have a son in his middle age and name him Liu Ting.

The Zhenwu Battalion can be said to be the reserve team for Nanjing.

After the servant finished reading the pond newspaper, there was no sound in the garrison hall, and it was silent for a long time.

There is a question in everyone's mind.

What the hell did this Wang Zhi come for? !

Zhang Shiche, the left servant of the Ministry of War, was the first to react. He stood up suddenly and said, "Hundreds of ships have come to cover the sea. This Wang Zhi is clearly planning a big treason. Eunuch Mai, what are we waiting for? Let's transfer troops."

Zhu Xizhong originally planned to transfer troops.

When Zhang Shiche opened his mouth, he forcibly suppressed Zhu Xizhong's words.

Mai Fu raised his head and glanced at Zhang Shiche.

"Zhang Butang, what's the hurry?"

"Shengmin hangs upside down, why don't you rush!"

Mai Fu stared at Zhang Shiche, and Zhang Shiche felt hairy.

"Zhang Butang, is it really the urgent need of the people?"

Zhang Shiche has nothing to do with the Ganquan School.

But when Uncle Zhang Shiche was in the court, Xie Qian single-handedly promoted him.

Zhang Shiche is not interested in the Ganquan School, but maritime affairs are related to the vital interests of the Zhang family.

"Mr. Mai! If you don't like me, Mr. Zhang, you can write a letter to the Son of Heaven. It's Mr. Zhang's official. Why bother to hold someone's elbow with the common people's affairs!"

Mai Fu sat on the spot and looked at Zhang Shiche with a slight smile.

"Zhang Butang misunderstood. What our family meant was that our family attached Zhang Butang to discuss."

Now it was Zhu Xizhong's turn to be dumbfounded.

"Mike Eunuch! This... this..."

Zhu Xizhong was anxious, but he didn't know where to start.

After all, the only reason he objected was "Zhang Shiche didn't hold his fart well."

And it's not easy to say this in front of so many people.

Seeing Zhu Xizhong's hesitant to speak, Mai Fu stood up and said, "This Wang Zhiruo really came to fight with the court, the victory or defeat of the court is nothing more than another reckless man on the sea."

"But if he hadn't come here to fight the imperial court, there would be an extra hero in the vast sea of ​​Daming."

Mai Fu's eyes became sharper.

"Kill when you kill!"

Zhu Xizhong was completely speechless.

At this moment, Ning Jue suddenly found a little familiar feeling.

After all, Mai Fu is just Jiajing's close minister.

What he did was not for the country, but for the power of the emperor.

This is an opportunity!
"Mr. Mai, they are not the northern captives on the grassland, they are the people who cannot survive in the southeast."

Mai Fu pondered for a moment, and then said: "What does Qian Xian mean by that?"

"This Wang Zhi Chen Bing Jiang faced, neither attacking nor withdrawing, he was clearly begging for peace from the imperial court, can't Eunuch see it?"

Mai Fu suddenly reprimanded: "Our family must kill him because we saw that he came to beg for peace!"

"This kind of character, given time, can they pay off?!"

Wang Zhi Chen Bing Jiang faced, neither attacking nor retreating, just wanted to suppress those "general outside" guards for the imperial court, and use Lu Huai's head as a token of honor.

Ning Jue saw it, Wang Zhi saw it, or in other words, everyone in the garrison hall except Zhu Xizhong saw it.

"Kill Wang Zhi, and the southeast coast will be in chaos. Isn't that exactly what the clothed thief wants?!"

Zhang Shiche patted the desk in front of him, stared at Ning Jue and asked, "Ning Kezhong, you might as well make your words clearer, who does Kezhong think is Daming's thief?!"

Zhu Xizhong winked at Ning Jue desperately.

Ning Jue didn't see it.

"Whoever wants chaos in the southeast is a thief in clothes!"

Zhang Shiche looked at Mai Fu with some excitement and said repeatedly: "Mr. Mai, the traitor has already jumped out by himself! What Mr. Lu said is true!"

Ning Jue still confronted each other: "So what if you jumped out?! Which of those Japanese pirates couldn't survive at home, so they escaped to the sea. The only one, Wang Zhi, even if he is a genius in the sky, he would be very successful without these refugees. ?!"

Zhang Shiche pushed the memorial in front of him, and said loudly: "Nearly ten thousand people in the southeast are killed by Japanese pirates every year! Doesn't Ning Ke finally think that these people also deserve to die?!"

Before the words were finished, Ning Jue said suddenly: "But the southeast is in chaos, and there will only be more people who will die, not less!"

"The strong draw their swords against the stronger ones, and the weak draw their swords against the weaker ones. Zhugong Shiludongnan should care about the people, but they know that the sea ban is not feasible and dare not fight against the powerful families. How is it different from those Japanese pirates?"

"Today you see me as a traitor, but I see you as a national thief!"

Zhang Shiche sat down on the chair, panting heavily.

Mai Fu's expression became more and more ugly: "Ning Qianxian, our family is a dog sent by the emperor to Nanjing to guard the house for the emperor."

"Our family doesn't care whether you have any relationship with Wang Zhi, but Wang Zhi, a hungry wolf who steals food, must die."

Ning Jue censored himself: "Mr. Mai, how can you be so kind, Zai Xu and Niu!"

"You are presumptuous!"

"Jue, stand ready to be killed."

"Okay, then our family will help you! Come and take Ning Jue down!"

Zhu Xizhong stood up straight away, looked at Mai Fu incoherently, then at Ning Jue, and finally only sighed.

"Eunuch Mai, I, this... my brother, can't... oh."

Zhu Xizhong sighed and could only watch Ning Jue being taken to the prison.

After Ning Jue was taken away, everyone in the garrison hall came back to their senses.

They don't care whether Lu Huai is dead or not.

This is a great opportunity to kill Ning Jue.

Once Wang Zhi died, the matter would be settled.

After the garrison hall discussion was over, all the officials present at the meeting and the disciples of the Ganquan School reached a consensus.

Keep going Baoning Jue! ——
On the surface of the river, Wang Zhi's boat landed steadily on the surface of the river in Dantu County, Zhenjiang Prefecture.

Looking west from the deck, Baohua Mountain can already be seen faintly.

"Father, shall we go on...?"

Further west of Baohua Mountain is Zhongshan, where Xiaoling Mausoleum is located.

After Wang Zhi pondered for a moment, he ordered: "The fleet doesn't have to move forward."

"Only our boat goes west, to Yanziji."

Wang Fu froze in place.

I couldn't believe my ears and asked, "Yanziji? Let's go..."

"Just go to Yeling." Wang Zhi glanced at Wang Fu meaningfully.

"Don't forget to bring a boat, don't miss the hour."

Wang Zhi waved his hand and sent Wang Fu away.

Yanziji is the first ferry in the south of the Yangtze River.

There are countless ships waiting to cross the river at Yanziji every day.

It is also the only way for Zhenwuying to enter the three prefectures of Songjiang.

Just as Wang Zhi sailed towards Yanziji.

However, Mai Fu did not order Zhenwuying to go straight to Songjiang, but ordered Zhenwuying to line up at Yanziji to meet the enemy.

Only when Wang arrived at Yanziji, was Mai Fu most worried about the result.

When he saw only one boat sailing across the river, Mai Fu's expression became more and more ugly.

"Old ancestor, that Wang Zhi really came."

"Prepare to take people." Mai Fu said lightly, and more than a hundred soldiers lay in ambush in Yanziji.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Wang Zhi put down a small boat by himself, and a man dressed as a Confucian scholar stood at the bow, and just swaggered towards Yanziji.

Before the boat docked, Wang Zhi's voice sounded.

"Wang Zhi, an overseas orphan of the Ming Dynasty, from Huizhou, pays homage to Eunuch Mai, Supervisor of Rituals!"

After speaking, Wang Zhi bowed at the bow of the boat, and then got off the boat.

I heard that Wang Zhi reported his family name.

Mai Fu's heart sank again.

After all, a monster was raised in the sea.

Mai Fu pondered for a moment, then stood up abruptly and said, "Please come and speak, Captain Wang."

The little servant who delivered the message ran out of the Chinese military tent and shouted loudly.

"The ancestor asked Captain Wang to come and speak!"

Hearing this, Wang Zhi didn't hesitate at all, Dang Shi followed the servant and walked towards the Chinese military tent where Mai Fu was.

When he was outside the tent of the Chinese army, Wang Zhi stopped again and bowed down.

"Wang Zhi, an Hui native, would like to pay homage to the lonely overseas Chinese of the Ming Dynasty."

"Captain Wang doesn't have to be polite to our family." Mai Fu came out from the tent, but kept a distance from Wang Zhi.

"I don't know why Captain Wang sent his teachers here?"

Wang Zhi bowed his head and said, "Go back to Eunuch Mai, Xiaomin came here to pay respects to Eunuch Mai and to help the new law of the imperial court."

Mai Fu's eyes gradually narrowed, and he couldn't help laughing: "It's true that the father is virtuous, and the pirates who stole the isolated island also know that they have a heart for the court."

"Mai Gonggong, please forgive me for being bold."

"Captain Wang, but it doesn't matter."

Wang Zhi heard this, and then raised his head and said: "Mr. Mai, who is born willing to be a grassroots bandit! We are all people with lofty ideals, but there is no way to serve the country!"

Mai Fu's conversation suddenly changed.

"Is your ambition to plunder the southeast?!"

Wang Zhi fell to his knees with a "plop".

"Grandpa Mingjian! The Japanese pirates are at sea, but it doesn't mean that all the pirates are at sea!"

"The holy emperor wants to calm the sea, and we are all willing to run like dogs and horses."

"We are all lonely loyal overseas!"

Listening to Wang Zhi's words, Mai Fu couldn't help but sneered.

"From this point of view, Captain Wang is actually Hei Saburo Hubaoyi?"

"Little people don't dare, but there is only one who is more loyal than Saburo."

Behind him, two servants moved two chairs.

Mai Fu sat down on his ass, and said leisurely: "Hu Baoyi knows that it is poisonous wine, but he still pretends to be the court in his heart. Captain Wang compares himself to Saburo, how dare he drink our glass of wine?"

As soon as the words were finished, a servant came to Wang Zhi with a jug.

"Little people are willing to drink!"

Wang Zhi took the flagon almost without hesitation.

"Mr. Mai, since Xiaomin dares to go ashore, he is naturally willing to drink this wine."

"Then our family told you that this is poisonous wine?"

"But drink without regret."

Wang Zhi raised the jug and wanted to drink heavily, Mai Fu stared at Wang Zhi, Wang Zhi raised his head and drank the wine in the jug in one gulp.

Seeing Wang Zhi drank the wine in one gulp, the murderous intent in Mai Fu's heart became more and more intense.

"Captain Wang is really courageous!"

Wang Zhi boldly threw the flagon to the ground.

"Yanziji is only [-] miles away from Xiaoling Mausoleum. If he died in front of Taizu Emperor Gao's mausoleum, what can he say?"

Mai Fu shook his head with a smile and said: "Boss Wang's words are wrong. From here to Xiaoling, it is nearly fifty miles along the official road..."

Before Mai Fu finished speaking, Mai Fu froze in place.

The official road is to go fifty miles.

But if you look at the straight-line distance.

Isn't that thirty miles? !

Cannonballs don't have to follow the official path!

Wang Zhi stood where he was, still looking at Mai Fu with a harmless smile.

"Mai Gonggong, please forgive the ignorance of the common people."

"Your cannon can hit thirty miles?"

"Mai Gonggong was joking, there is no cannon in the world that can shoot thirty miles away."

Mai Fu suddenly raised his head, and at a glance, he saw that the boat on the river had twenty or thirty muzzles that were much thicker than the general's cannon, and they had already pointed in the direction of Xiaoling.

But if this shell collapses, a tile of Xiaoling will be destroyed.

The emperor is about to issue an imperial edict!
Wang directly bet on Mai Fu and dare not bet.
