Ming Dynasty fake eunuch

Chapter 443 Arriving at Jinling
Duke Wei's Mansion in Jinling, inner study.

Xu Hongji and his son Xu Wenjue sat facing each other, their eyes were full of anger. Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the Xu family had never suffered such humiliation.

There is no impenetrable wall in the world. Tong Kui entered Ye Xun's barracks and never returned. Not even one of his guards came out. Who would believe it if he said it was all right?
How can I say that the Xu family still has energy in Jiangnan? Even though Ye Xun's blockade was so tight, the Xu family still used various means to find out the truth of the matter. After knowing the whole story, the Xu family father and son were angry and afraid.

Isn't this dead eunuch too courageous?He even took down all the thirteen generals in Nanjing at one time. Except for Emperor Hongwu back then, it seems that no one in the country has ever done such a big deal. What does he want to do?
The Xu family also has countless fertile fields in the south of the Yangtze River, and Jinling has the most nobles living in places other than the capital. In the past few days, nobles have come to their door one after another, hoping that the Xu family can take the lead in resisting the imperial court's new land policy.

When it comes to their own actual interests, resistance is inevitable, but without the support of the army, it is no different from a toothless tiger.

The Xu family has guarded Jinling for generations, and the relationship among the various armies in the south of the Yangtze River is also intricate, so it is not necessary to have Tong Kui.

But according to the ancestral system, the Xu family can only directly intervene in the army when wars occur. If they dare to mobilize the army in peacetime, it will be easy to be labeled as treason, so Xu Hongji dare not act rashly.

"Father, you are here to attract him. My son went to Beijing to find His Majesty. The Xu family has been loyal for generations. I don't believe that Your Majesty will allow the Xu family to be bullied by a eunuch."

Xu Wenjue's words didn't impress Xu Hongji, he is a mature man, these words are not for nothing.

Shaking his head slightly, he said: "There has been news from the middle of the capital. Your Majesty is ill and will obey this eunuch. Even if you enter Beijing, you may not see your Majesty. Besides, that old bastard Zhang Weixian is also right. This eunuch is extremely protective, if it is as expected by the father, they may have reached some kind of secret agreement."

"In the current situation, it is better to be still than to move. Something happened in Fengyang. Someone in the court will definitely impeach him. We might as well wait and see. After he arrives, you will send an invitation in person, because the father wants to talk to him. talk"

Xu Wenjue nodded, smiled suddenly, and said, "When I came back from outside, I heard someone mention that eunuchs like little girls. Father, if someone lined up to send girls to him, what would others think of him?"

"Nonsense! How can the majestic Duke of Wei participate in such a thing?"

Although he was scolding his son, there was a smile in his eyes.

I don't know what Qian Qianyi and those bastard celebrities are thinking. As a native of Jiangnan, he actually helps outsiders to wave the flag and shout. When the eunuchs leave, let's see how my country will entertain you
Unbeknownst to the Xu family and his son, as Ye Xun's team got closer and closer to Jinling, an explosive news spread around the south of the Yangtze River.

"The imperial court intends to abolish the military household system. Soldiers are mainly recruited. It used to be the military household's guard. Under the leadership of the guard general, they can go to the first battalion of the Jinling New Army to report, or they can go by themselves. Some military households go by themselves. , the officers of the guards shall not stop them, and those who pass the review and can join the new army will be given the Anjiayin taels immediately, and the military salary will only be lower than that of the frontier troops."

This is indeed news, because it has not been written yet, but it is enough. After hearing the news, many guards and military households sent representatives to Jinling quietly.

After the civil uprising in the Huai'an area subsided, the follow-up work would naturally be done by the local government. Lu Chun only needed to leave a small amount of troops to help maintain order, so Ye Xun went to Jinling, and he led his troops to follow.

Lu Chun knew very well that although Ye Xun appointed him as the head of the first battalion of the new army, there are many generals in the south of the Yangtze River who are higher in rank than him and have a stronger relationship. Replaced by someone else.

With the addition of Lu Chun's men and horses, Ye Xun has six or seven thousand available soldiers around him. Although it is far from comparable to the number of garrisons near Jinling, it is not enough to leave Ye Xun with no available soldiers.

Early in the morning, Yao Yizhi led the civil and military officials of Jinling to wait at the ten-mile long pavilion outside the city, because Ye Xun did not take a boat, but came by land.

Among the officials, Wang Yiming stood calmly behind Yao Yizhi, so there was no need to say anything more at this time.

In fact, Wang Yiming didn't know how Xu Hongru planned to deal with Ye Xun. Xu Hongru just told him that everything was well planned and he just had to wait for the development of the situation.

Without keeping Jinling's officials waiting for long, a dark team soon appeared at the end of the official road.

After the dragon flag of the Xuanhuang regiment is the large flag with the character of Ye Xun representing Ye Xun's identity. Under the guard of honor of various flags, there are forests of swords and guns, and guards with red cloaks clustered around a large carriage. Needless to say, sitting in the carriage It must be Grandpa Ye.

Ye Xun's guard of honor is different from that of other officials. No matter where he goes, he is quiet. He has never sounded a gong to clear the way, nor has he played drums in unison. It seems very low-key, but the invisible coercion is just as impenetrable. angry.

When they were more than a hundred steps away, the imperial envoy stopped, and then Ye Xun, who was in python robe and jade belt, stepped out of the carriage.

Seeing this, Yao Yizhi and the others quickly stepped forward, and bowed to salute after being far away.

"Officials and others, please refer to Imperial Envoy Ye Gonggong"

"My lords are free of courtesy. My lord is alive. During this time in Jinling, please cooperate a lot. My lord thank you here."

Ye Xun didn't put on airs either, he cupped his fists at the officials and said.

Yao Yizhi, representing the Jinling officials, did not even dare to say that he did not dare, and immediately said: "My father-in-law has been exhausted all the way, and the subordinate officials have already ordered someone to set up a banquet, and I would like to invite my father-in-law to reward you."

Although Ye Xun doesn't like this kind of scene, he still has to leave when he goes to the country to do as the Romans do.

He nodded and said, "Is the Jinling defense here?"

After hearing Ye Xun's question, a burly general appeared behind Yao Yizhi.

"The end is here!"

"General Laojin took my men and horses to rest"

Guard surnamed Jin was taken aback for a moment, thinking that I haven't reported my name yet, how could he recognize me?

Confused, he quickly agreed, and when he looked up, Ye Xun turned his gaze to his side again.

"This must be Mr. Chief Executive Wang?"

Including Yao Yizhi, no one thought that Ye Xun knew everyone. A thought flashed in everyone's mind, could it be that Eunuch Ye has been to Jinling?
Hearing Ye Xun directly click on his name, Wang Yiming couldn't help jumping in his heart. Before he could think about it, he hurried forward, bowed and said, "I'll see Eunuch Ye!"

"Hehe! No need to be too polite. When I was in the capital, I heard that Lord Wang was very respectful of the new land policy of the imperial court. His Majesty even ordered me to reward Lord Wang. I may want to respect Lord Wang for a few more glasses of wine later, haha"

Hearing what Ye Xun said, Wang Yiming was even more shocked. He knew what he thought best, not to mention supporting the new policy of the court, and even always resisted it, but he didn't know why Ye Xun said that?
