The world of film and television begins with Ning'an as a dream

Jingcheng, Jinsha Tower

After the Ming Dynasty took control of this area, it held a few public trials and implemented the equal land tax, and then there was no further action.

Wang Yue bought the land at market price and did not force the couple to marry or rob them. The local rich people just lost their land and had more money.

This has stimulated consumption in the three cities. As Jinshalou is a famous gold-consuming place, of course many people will come.

Yuanlu was busy leading the craftsmen to make military equipment and had no time to come, while Qian Zhao was training the army and was filled with righteous indignation and wanted to fight, so he did not come.

Now another war was about to begin, and Qian Zhao was too busy to lead the surrendered soldiers from Wu State alone, so Sun Lang went to help Qian Zhao.

Therefore, Wang Yue, Ning Yuanzhou, Yu Shisan and thirteen others came to Jinsha Tower with some guards.

Wang Yue was still a little worried at first, but after he arrived at the door and saw the guards at the entrance of Jinsha Building, he relaxed.

The guard was the chief of the Wangjiazhai spies. When he walked over, the man recognized Wang Yue and hurried forward to ask in surprise, "Village leader, why are you here? Are you looking for Master Ruyi?"

Wang Yue nodded and asked in confusion, "Wang Shisan, why are you here?"

Wang Shisan said excitedly, "Mrs. Ruyi actually knows the leader of the Jinsha Gang. She is discussing important matters with him. She thought the village chief might come over, so she asked me to wait here."

Wang Yue was stunned for a moment, then asked suspiciously, "Did you see Yu Shisan?"

Wang Shisan nodded and said with a smile, "When he was following us, Lord Ruyi had already discovered it. But because he thought he was from Liudaotang, he didn't catch him. It was because he left that Lord Ruyi thought you might come over."

After Wang Yue understood the situation, he glanced at Yu Shisan and followed Wang Shisan inside.

Ning Yuanzhou saw a warning in Wang Yue's eyes, so he said to Thirteen in a bad mood, "Be careful next time, Wang Yue is my friend, how can you lay a hand on his woman?"

Yu Shisan quickly waved his hands and said, "It's really unfair. I really didn't mean to attack Ruyi. I just wanted to come to Jinsha Tower to have fun, but I didn't expect to see Ruyi on the road. I'm worried."

Ning Yuanzhou didn't believe a word of what Shisan said. He warned again, "I don't care what it is for, but if Wang Yue beats you up for this, I won't stop him."

The meaning of his words was very clear. As long as Wang Yue could keep Yu Shisan alive, he would not care how he fought.

Yu Shisan also heard the warning in Ning Yuanzhou's words, so he walked in depressed, saying as he walked, "They are not married yet! Can't I even take a look at them?"

Ning Yuanzhou didn't hear clearly, so he frowned and asked, "What did you just say? What about marriage?"

Yu Shisan immediately put on a smiling face and said, "I'm saying that among so many of us who are still single, only Wang Yue has a girlfriend and he's not married yet. Isn't that infuriating?"

Ning Yuanzhou rolled his eyes at Yu Shisan, then hurried forward. He also wanted to see the situation here.

If the brothels and brothels in a town are very lively, it proves that the hearts of the wealthy people in this place are basically very stable.

Jinsha Building, Piaoxiang Courtyard

Ruyi didn't expect that the owner of Jinsha Tower was the red-clothed envoy who saved her that year. She chatted with Jin Meiniang for a while and then she knew what had happened.

It turned out that after Jin Meiniang saved Ruyi, she was also injured on her face. In the end, it was the leader of the Jinsha Gang who saved her and asked her to change her name so that she could sit down safely. Later, she was grateful and married the leader of the Jinsha Gang.

It’s just that the leader of the Jinsha City Gang died a few years ago, and Jin Meiniang took over the Jinsha Gang’s business, which led to the current Jinsha Building.

After all, the two hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they had almost endless things to talk about. Just as they were talking, Wang Yue walked in.

Seeing Wang Yue walk in without being informed, Jin Meiniang understood Wang Yue's identity and said with a smile, "Ming Wang, I didn't expect you to be the master's husband. We are really a family."

Chapter 245: The first battle went smoothly!

Wang Yue already knew Ruyi and Jin Meiniang, but he remained calm and pretended to be confused and said, "I don't know why you and my Ruyi are so familiar with each other, but as long as you don't take human life lightly in the city and operate legally, you will definitely be protected."

Seeing Wang Yue say this, Jin Meiniang smiled and nodded, saying, "In fact, your equal land tax is very good, but we are all poor women in our building, and we have let your kindness down.

After all, they are weak women, and even if they have land, they can’t farm it.”

Wang Yue waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "Don't worry, as long as you don't force them, I won't embarrass you. Also, how did you and Ruyi meet?"

Ruyi knew that Wang Yue didn't want to continue the previous topic, so she smiled and said, "Ayue, Mei Niang was my former subordinate. She saved my life."

Wang Yue nodded and said with a smile, "No wonder Gang Leader Jin said he was one of them. In that case, Jin Bang Leader, I owe you a favor!"

Jin Mei Niang was very moved when she heard this and said, "I have kept in mind the promise made by Boss Wang. By the way, I heard from Master Ren that you are going to establish the Jinyiwei?"

Wang Yue nodded and said with a smile, "Yes, the Wang family army needs a stable source of information. If Gang Leader Jin wants to join, then of course I would be very happy."

Jin Mei Niang shook her head helplessly, "In fact, our building is full of eliminated white sparrows. With their methods, they can't get any information at all."

Wang Yue shook his head and said seriously, "In fact, you have a misunderstanding about getting information. In fact, the Golden Phoenix Tower is one of the most convenient places to get information.

You just need to report the news you heard to the higher-ups, and then they will verify it. You don't need to take the initiative to spy on them, and it won't be dangerous to you."

After Jin Mei Niang heard Wang Yue's words, she felt a little confused. This was completely different from the Zhu Yiwei. She asked uncertainly, "Is it that simple?"

Wang Yue smiled and nodded, "You must have heard of Liudaotang, right? The people who gather information and verify information are different people, which reduces the risk of the information gatherer being exposed.

I think this is a good idea, and the Jinyiwei is also planning to do this, but it’s just the beginning, so the news is a bit blocked.”

Jin Mei Niang quickly said modestly, "Your teahouses are open in all the towns of Anguo, and storytellers are also very popular. How could you not have a stable source of information? Village Chief Wang, you are too modest."

Wang Yue looked at Ruyi speechlessly, and then said, "You even told her this."

Jin Mei Niang smiled and explained, "It was Wang Shisan from outside. My people once accidentally saw him meeting someone in the teahouse, and that's how they guessed the truth."

Although Wang Yue didn't quite believe it, he still pretended to be enlightened and said with a smile, "How about it? Teahouses target ordinary people, while your Jinshalou targets dignitaries. I wonder if you are willing to cooperate?"

Jin Meiniang glanced at Ruyi and said with a smile, "If it is Master Ren who leads the team, of course I am willing."

Wang Yue was very happy, so he said seriously, "Then there will be no problem. I have handed over the restaurant and teahouse in the village to Ruyi. If you have any news in the future, just tell her and ask her to send someone to confirm the source of the news."

Jin Meiniang looked at Ruyi in surprise. She asked uncertainly, "Master Ren, are you really going to return to the martial arts world?"

Ruyi said helplessly, "I just want to investigate the cause of Queen Zhaojie's death. It might be too slow to rely on Liudaotang alone, so I want to do it myself."

When Jin Mei Niang heard this, she bowed her hands and said seriously, "If it's for this matter, Mei Niang will do her duty!"

Seeing that Jin Mei Niang had agreed, Wang Yue smiled and said, "Then I won't disturb your chat. I have urgent military affairs to attend to. I will come back after I finish them."

Ruyi roughly guessed what Wang Yue wanted to do, so she simply said, "Be careful!"

Wang Yue said goodbye to Ruyi calmly, nodded to Jin Meiniang, and left the courtyard.

When he saw Ning Yuanzhou in the outer courtyard, he said to Ning Yuanzhou seriously, "There is nothing wrong here, we can continue as planned."

Ning Yuanzhou also breathed a sigh of relief. He said seriously, "In that case, I will have the people from Liudaotang keep a close eye on Bianzhou and Junzhou. If there is an army coming from Guide, I will notify you immediately."

Wang Yue nodded, left Jinsha Tower, and led 50,000 troops to Cangsong Ridge.

Among these 50,000 troops, there are actually only 10,000 elite soldiers from the mountain stronghold, and the rest are new recruits who have just been trained. However, they have only been taught to stand at attention for more than ten days. They are able to follow simple orders and still look very intimidating.

When the 50,000-strong army arrived at Cangsongling, the defender of Cangsongling, Huyan Zan, felt like he was facing a powerful enemy and quickly sent people to ask for help from Jishan Bianzhou and Guideyuan. The defenders of Cangsongling could hardly withstand the attack of the 50,000-strong army.

Wang Yue originally intended to train his troops, and he kept practicing military exercises in front of the Cangsongling formation, asking Yuanlu and his men to quickly install new catapults, and he was not in a hurry to attack.

Huyan Zan was also a veteran. After several hours, he also realized that there were a large number of timid recruits in Wang Yue's army, so he was relieved and even looked down on Wang Yue's 50,000 troops.

He said to the deputy general with contempt, "If I had known this would happen, I would not have sent anyone to ask for help."

The deputy general also smiled and complimented, "They were so neat when they were on the road, they looked like elite troops, it's normal that the general didn't see it at first. Sir, should we rush out, we will definitely kill them all!"

Hu Yanzan nodded and said, "Okay, but they have a lot of people after all, so we should not let our guard down. If there are some elite soldiers among them, we will be trapped down there. If someone takes over the checkpoint in the chaos, we will all lose our heads."

The deputy general nodded quickly and said, "General, you are wise!"

While the two were chatting, they suddenly saw a huge fire in the direction of Jishan. Hu Yanzan exclaimed, "Oh no, we have fallen into a trap. Their purpose is just to burn the military rations."

The deputy general was also panicking, and asked hurriedly, "Sir, what should we do? That is the only ration the army has left! If you send someone to ask for help, they will definitely put the blame on you."

Hu Yanzan gritted his teeth and said fiercely, "For now, we can only atone for our sins by defeating these 50,000 Ming soldiers!"

Although the deputy general was a little scared, he knew there was no other way, so he quickly put on his helmet, followed Huyan Zan to lead out the war horse, and opened the gate of the checkpoint.

Originally, Wang Yue was still training his soldiers to boost their courage. After seeing the fire at Jishan, he knew that they had succeeded. He quickly replaced 10,000 elite soldiers at the front and ordered Yuanlu's catapults to prepare to throw gunpowder.

After Huyan Zan rushed out, he found that something was wrong with the soldiers in front of him, but he had already rushed out, and it was too late to regret. He could only bite the bullet and rush towards the well-organized Ming army.

He believed that the opposing infantry would not be able to withstand the charge of his 3,000 cavalrymen.

But he was wrong. They had not charged far when the gunpowder thrown by the catapults started to throw explosives. Only the hundreds of cavalrymen at the front of him passed safely. The cavalry and infantry behind him were knocked off their horses by the explosion.

Huyan Zan was not much better off. He endured three waves of arrows and finally rushed to the front of the formation, but was blocked by chevaux de frise.

He originally wanted to use horsepower to reopen the chevaux de frise, but he didn't expect that the chevaux de frise had been modified by Yuanroku and was deeply embedded in the ground, causing his horse to hit the chevaux de frise and he fell into the Ming army and was pinned to the ground by several soldiers.

Seeing this scene, Wang Yue felt that this was a rare opportunity, so he immediately shouted, "Hu Yanzan has surrendered, and those who surrender will not be killed!"

The other Ming soldiers also hurriedly followed suit and shouted. They were already numerous and powerful, and the new recruits saw that the situation was favorable, so their morale was very high.

The Anguo soldiers couldn't find Huyan Zan's flag, and their heads were not clear from the explosion. The Ming army rushed towards them with great momentum, so they simply laid down their weapons and surrendered.

Cangsong Ridge, which was easy to defend but difficult to attack, was captured by Wang Yue. Unless An Guo crossed the river, he could only attack Cangsong Ridge by force to threaten the Ming army.

When Wang Yue captured Canglong Ridge, Jishan, the nearest province, which originally had only 3,000 baggage soldiers, also sent out more than 2,000 to support him. However, their combat power was inferior to the elite troops in Wang Yue's hands, not to mention the new recruits who were a little hot-blooded and had just won a great victory.

After destroying the reinforcements from Jishan, they of course rushed towards Jishan and wiped out the more than 1,000 defenders who had just put out the fire.

Wang Yue sent people to escort a large amount of food and grass that had not been burned back to He County, leaving only 5,000 elite troops and 10,000 new recruits who had experienced the war to guard Canglong Ridge.

Ning Yuanzhou, who had been waiting here for a long time, smiled and congratulated Wang Yue when he saw him, "Congratulations, King Ming. After this battle, the Ming army has gained momentum and can now gain a foothold in Hebei."

He was not joking. If Wang Yue took over three cities and added the three cities in Hebei given by Wu State, they could completely defend the river. It would be very difficult for either An State or Wu State to take them back.

Wang Yue was not so optimistic. Although he had a navy to block the river, the border was too long and there were too few people. If he wanted the Ming Dynasty to survive, he could not make any mistakes in every step.

But he couldn't show his worries, so he asked very seriously, "Next, I plan to use Hu Yanzan and Shentuchi to propose conditions to Anguo. I think the delegation will not have to pass before the negotiation is over."

Ning Yuanzhou understood what Wang Yue meant. He asked solemnly, "It may not be so easy to change the negotiation location between Wu and An to Ming."

Chapter 246 Death of Zheng Qingyun!

Wang Yue looked at Ning Yuanzhou, and knowing what he was worried about, he said seriously, "As long as Wu Country doesn't come to cause trouble, I am fully confident."

Ning Yuanzhou understood what Wang Yue meant. He was silent for a while, then said seriously, "I will send a letter to Wudu right now to see what Prince Danyang and Zhang Song say. I will inform you when I have news!"

Wang Yue nodded and changed the subject, saying, "We don't have many soldiers and our territory is too large. In the days to come, we will need to trouble the brothers of Liudao Hall to keep an eye on An Guo's movements."

His meaning was very clear, which was not to make things difficult for Ning Yuanzhou. He would arrange people to keep an eye on Wu State.

Ning Yuanzhou certainly understood why Wang Yue only talked about An Guo. It was not because he did not trust them, but he was afraid that they would be embarrassed.

He smiled and said, "This is a simple matter. If there is any disturbance in Anguo, you, the wise king, will be the first to know."

After the two of them had discussed it, they went about their business, as they both had a lot of things on their plate.

Ning Yuanzhou was busy fighting for the manpower of Liudaotang in the six cities controlled by the Ming army. The Liudaotang in several cities was severely damaged and many people were stranded outside. They had to be found.

Wang Yue was not only busy with reorganizing military affairs, but also had to deal with the government affairs of several cities, so he had no time to care about anything else.

……

Guideyuan, Emperor An's Camp

Emperor An was furious after hearing the report. He said in dissatisfaction, "Deng Hui, how do you, the Red Guards, do things? Why don't you have any information about the Ming bandits' sneak attacks on Cangwu Ridge and Jishan Camp?"

Deng Hui knelt down immediately and said solemnly, "Your Majesty, when I received your order last time, I immediately sent the Right Envoy Jia Ling to personally check on the cities controlled by the Ming army.

What was unexpected was that Jia Ling brought more than a hundred Red Guards masters with him, but they never returned. Therefore, I suspect that the Six Paths Hall or the bad guys from various countries must have been involved. Otherwise, how could the small Ming army have such strength? "

After hearing what Deng Huizhi said, Emperor An said uncertainly, "Are you saying that Wu State or other countries have taken action?"

Seeing that the emperor believed it, the eldest prince had an idea and immediately retorted, "Father, I think it is very unlikely that Wu State will take action. If the strength of Liudao Hall is still there, even if we can defeat Wu State, we should not be able to capture Emperor Wu.

Therefore, I think it must be the bad guys from various countries who took over, and even the three cities we just captured were taken away by them!

The so-called bandits are just an excuse! The other countries must have seen our two countries’ weakness and took advantage of the opportunity to attack us.”

When the Second Prince heard this, he immediately agreed and said, "Father, I also think that the possibility of Zhuguo is greater. Wuguo is currently fighting for the throne in the court, and should not have time to take back the territory. We must be on guard against Zhuguo, because only Zhuguo is adjacent to both Wuguo and Anguo."

The reason why the second prince agreed with the eldest prince was because Li Tongguang's contribution was so great this time that the two princes felt a sense of crisis, so they wanted to suppress Li Tongguang's contribution.

Seeing his two sons saying so, Emperor An frowned and said, "According to what you said, the possibility of the various countries is greater, but why wasn't it done by the King of Danyang's people?"

The Second Prince finally won over General Shentu, but he was caught. He was seriously injured by Wang Yue's sneak attack. Seeing what Your Majesty said, he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, if it was done by the King of Danyang, he would have publicized this matter long ago. He could have taken advantage of the situation and waited for the base. Then the Wu Emperor in our hands would be completely useless.

Therefore, I think that it must be the work of the various countries. Your Majesty, please make the decision for me!"

When Emperor An heard what several people said, he felt more and more that the possibility of the various countries was too great. However, they had already gone to war with the Wu Kingdom, and they could not afford to offend the other countries again.

Emperor An thought about it carefully and felt that other countries probably also saw this point, so he did not expose it.
