Chapter 110 Second Brother Occupies Runing
After Ming Taizu established the Ming Dynasty, on the one hand, he "received the power of the world to belong to one person" to prevent outsiders from coveting; .

The clan was a special group in ancient society, enjoying privileges that other clans did not have, and this privilege and special status gave them an absolute advantage in social competition and distribution of means of production. Become a great harm to the country.

In the Chongwang Mansion in Runing City, Wang Shicong, the military officer, and Fu Ruwei, the magistrate, sat in the main hall of the Wangfu, waiting anxiously.

The two have been sitting here for more than an hour, and they have already drunk their tea, but still no one comes out.

"It's about Wang Qian. I'm afraid that King Chong doesn't want to see us, so why don't we come here today." Fu Ruwei reached for the teacup, but when he found that there was no tea, he put it back on the small table, sighed, and turned his head and said.

However, Wang Shicong shook his head, "Mr. Fu, Governor Sun is in a decisive battle with the intruders. If we win, it will be fine, but if we lose, the consequences will be unimaginable. Runing is now empty of troops, we must recruit troops to protect ourselves, in case the thieves come .”

Fu Ruwei looked dignified, and nodded slightly, "Okay, I will accompany you today, and fight Chongfan to the end, we must ask him to donate some money and food."

While the two were talking, a fat middle-aged man wearing a four-clawed dragon robe, a jade belt around his waist, and a winged crown inlaid with a night pearl the size of an egg, finally came out with the help of his servant.

After seeing Wang Shicong and Fu Ruwei, they hurriedly stood up, and when the middle-aged man sat down on the throne, they bowed together and saluted: "Your Majesty sees Your Highness Qiansui."

The white and fat middle-aged man is one of the two 10,000+ clans in the Ming Dynasty, Chong Wang Zhu Youxi who was enshrined in Runing.

"Why are you two here again?" Zhu Youxi looked at the two of them with some impatience on his face.

As a clan, they don’t need to worry about food and clothing, and they don’t need to worry about state affairs. Of course, they are not allowed to worry about state affairs. What else can they do? What else can they pursue? They can only pursue money, pleasure, and immortality .

Zhu Youxi was drinking and having fun with his brother Zhu Youcai, king of Heyang, when the servant told them that they were coming to see him again, which disturbed his interest and made him feel very dissatisfied.

Wang Shicong saw Zhu Youxi's impatient face, but he still bowed and said, "Your Highness, the thieves are rampant now, and the Runing Mansion is the place where the thieves must attack. After the defeat of Zhuxian Town, the Runing troops have not been replenished so far, and the defense is very tight. emptiness."

As Wang Shicong said, he took a step forward suddenly, and his voice became a little anxious, "At this time of crisis, the officials and Mr. Fufu want to recruit strong and brave guards for Runing, but the treasury has a lot of money, so please ask your highness to send money to recruit soldiers. "

He took a step forward, and when he spoke, his face was ferocious, as if he was going to eat people, and Zhu Youxi fell back in fright.

Zhu Youxi sat upright again, the fat on his face was shaking, and he touched his belly with his fat hands, and said dissatisfiedly: "You have said this before, and Gu also replied to you, the current situation is not good. The tenants in the land have all run away, and there is only one family to support themselves, and there is no money left in the treasury."

Speaking of this, Zhu Youxi waved his hand, "There is nothing else, so you don't come here again."

Wang Shicong's complexion sank. Seeing Zhu Youxi getting up to leave, the magistrate Furu gritted his teeth, rushed forward, grabbed Zhu Youxi's sleeve, and said anxiously: "Your Highness, Runing has a mansion with [-]% of the land. Returning to the vassal mansion, and now that the country is in crisis, please follow the example of the king of Zhou and send treasury money to recruit strong and brave thieves."

Since Li Zicheng left Shangluo Mountain, Henan has been fighting every year, and the money and grain of the state capitals have long been exhausted.

Luoyang was destroyed, Fufan was cooked and killed, and governor Li Xianfeng broke the siege of Kaifeng, but committed suicide in fear of crime.

There are only a few hundred people in Runing City now. Once the bandits arrive, the city will definitely not be able to defend. As a parent and official, he should be killed if he loses his land. In addition, if he loses his relatives, he will definitely die and his family will be implicated.

In order to go all out, Fu Ru ignored the etiquette and directly grabbed Chong Wang to ask for money.Shocked by his actions, King Chong tugged on his sleeves, but couldn't. Seeing that he couldn't get away, he rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Fu Zhifu, the imperial court still owes Gu a hundred thousand taels of salary." Not issued, how about you go to help Gu Yao, and Gu Wang will give you half of it to recruit soldiers?"

King Chong has lived in Runing for generations, and because of his status as a prince, the entire family cannot decline. How could the feudal mansion have no money accumulated over more than 100 years.

Fu Ruwei listened to King Chong's words. At this time, he still wants him to go to the imperial court to ask him for a vassal salary, and then split half of it with him. Not only will he not pay, but he will also earn tens of thousands of taels. Rising red, holding his breath in his chest, he almost vomited blood from anger.

There were not many vassal kings in the Ming Dynasty who were wise. King Fu was sitting on hundreds of millions of wealth. Others persuaded him to reward the soldiers. Served.

After King Chong finished speaking, seeing that Fu Ruwei was stunned for a moment, he hurriedly pulled out his sleeves, turned around and wanted to leave the hall quickly.As he hurried away, he thought, "What do you want to learn from King Zhou? King Zhou spent all his savings in the treasury, and Kaifeng kept it? Isn't he living outside without even a guarantee of life!"

Zhu Youxi was about to get away, but there was a sudden commotion outside the palace, and then a guard rushed into the palace, seeing Zhu Youxi, he quickly knelt down, pointed to the outside of the palace, and said in panic: " Your Highness, something is wrong, bandits entered the city and blocked the palace."

Zhu Youxi's steps froze for a moment, Fu Ruwei and Wang Shicong's expressions in the hall changed wildly, and they suddenly became shocked.

In Beicheng, Second Brother Gao led the troops into the city gate. Lu Yifang sat down on the city wall in shock. Wang Baihu was shocked. Even if he was dead, he could not stop fifteen hundred bandits. .

Lu Yifang came to his senses, knew that he had made a big mistake, jumped up suddenly, and was about to jump off the tower, but he didn't want Wang Baihu who was next to him, but hugged him immediately, and said urgently: "Mr. Lu, calm down!" Come on, this city is not high, and you can't fall to death, so it's better to make me rich!"

Lu Yifang thought that Wang Baihu wanted to persuade him, and he didn't want to hear such a sentence. He was stunned for a while, and immediately cursed and struggled desperately.

At the city gate, Gao Yihuan only killed a few people, and the officers and soldiers inside the gate either surrendered or fled. He reined in his horses on the street, feeling very happy, as long as he entered the city, the big thing would be settled.

"All ministries act according to the plan." Gao Yihuan pointed his sword into the city and shouted orders, "Zhao Zhuzi, you go to the barracks, Xiangang, you go to block Chongwang's mansion, Huang San, you control the city gate!"

At the side, Gao Yizhen hurriedly said: "Second Brother, don't kill anyone!"

Gao Yihuan ignored him, and directly rode his horse into the city, while a large number of Gao soldiers in the gate accelerated through the gate and poured into Runing City.Seeing this, Gao Yizhen didn't follow, and rode his horse into a street.

Huang San drew out his waist knife and led a group of people up the steps to the tower, but Wang Baihu on the top pushed the tightly bound Lu Yifang forward, and then threw the knife, "Good man! I've turned my back on you!" !"

Huang San and the others who rushed forward couldn't help being slightly taken aback, wondering whether to fight or not.

The people in the city were completely unprepared, Zhao Zhuzi quickly took down the barracks, and the four gates were quickly controlled.Hundreds of officers and soldiers in the city were disabled, the resistance was very weak, and most of them surrendered with weapons.

The whole operation went smoothly and unexpectedly. This was not only because the second brother Gao came too suddenly and the officers and soldiers had no command, but also because the court had not paid for a long time, and the officers and soldiers did not even have a full meal. In addition, after the battle in Zhuxian Town, The imperial court did not provide pensions, which made the soldiers feel a little chilled.

After the four gates and the barracks were under control, the only threat in the city remained was Chongwang Mansion.

At this time, on the wall of the royal city, Zhu Youxi, who weighed more than 200 kilograms, walked up the wall with the support of the guards. He came to the wall and looked down. He saw hundreds of bandits moving outside the city gate. Tables, chairs and other objects blocked the street connecting the city gate, and his face turned pale for a while.

At this time, Gao Erge and Zhao Zhuzi led more than a hundred soldiers and rushed outside the royal city.

Zhu Youxi saw that there were more and more bandit soldiers outside the city, he couldn't help fighting, and almost wanted to leave first. The night pearl inlaid on the golden silk winged crown on his head also trembled along with his body trembling.

Seeing the bandits blocking the door, Zhu Youxi's Adam's apple squirmed, swallowed a mouthful of spittle, then hurriedly stepped back, and suddenly grabbed Fu Ruwei who was in the upper city, as if grabbing a life-saving straw, and begged urgently: "Fu Zhifu, Don’t you want money, the lonely king will give you 10 taels, no, the lonely king will give you [-] taels, so that you can recruit troops to defend against bandits!”

"Bah!" Fu Ruwei spit on Zhu Youxi's face and cursed, "Leave the money to the intruders! I was killed by you!"

Zhu Youxi was sprayed all over his face, but he didn't wipe it off. He stood there blankly with despair on his face. Fu Ruwei shook off his hand, walked to the city wall and glanced at the bandits below, and sighed in his heart. The whole person jumped down from the city wall and smashed it heavily on the bluestone ground in front of the city gate. Immediately, the dark red blood flowed like a stream along the cracks between the bricks~
