Ming Dynasty: My Brother-in-law is Zhu Youxiao

On this day, when Zhang Gui and others had just arrived in the area of ​​Qingjiangpu, an important canal town, and were planning to go straight down to Yangzhou, Huang Degong came to report to Zhang Gui, "Supervisor! The gate of Yangzhou is closed, and no one can be called for a low-level job!"

Zhang Gui smiled slightly: "Yangzhou officials and gentry are planning to rebel?"

Hearing what Zhang Gui said, Zhao Yan said: "Uncle Guo's words are wrong, people are afraid that we are rebels."

"Who is a Han and who is a thief, it depends on who wins!"

Zhang Gui replied.

Zhao Yan nodded.

Zhang Gui said again: "Zhao Butang, now it seems that you and I have to stand up."

After Zhao Yan heard this, he looked forward: "Uncle Guo is right, it's Deli Wei!"

Zhang Gui then asked with a smile: "From Zhao Butang's point of view, how can we gain prestige?"

"Killing kills one's prestige!"

Zhao Yan suddenly replied with a solemn expression.

"It's a good one to kill to gain prestige!"

Zhang Gui couldn't help applauding, and then said casually: "There is an expert surnamed Zhou who said that you should not be afraid to speculate on your enemies with the greatest malice! Therefore, from the point of view of this governor, the gate of the Yangzhou Mansion is now closed, and you are not willing Opening the door for us must be rebellion! Maybe it’s not just the Yangzhou government that is rebellious, I’m afraid that the governor of water transport here and the gentry and salt merchants in this area have all become rebels.”

"Uncle Guo, who is this expert surnamed Zhou? What he said makes sense."

Zhao Yan hurriedly asked.

"Zhao Butang doesn't need to know, all he needs to do is wait for the next step to kill and gain power."

Zhang Gui replied with a smile.

Zhao Yandao: "Since that's the case, can I ask Uncle Guo to lend some cannons to my governor's standard battalion? I have already seen that the cannons carried by Uncle Guo's Xichang Official School are very sophisticated, and they must be powerful weapons to conquer the city."

"Zhao Butang has good eyesight!"

Zhang Gui ordered, "Sun Chuanting!"

"The humble job is here!"

Sun Chuanting stood up.

"You stay here and assist Zhao Butang in attacking Yangzhou City."

Zhang Gui ordered.

"yes!"

Sun Chuanting agreed.

Then, Zhang Gui ordered: "The rest of the official schools in Xichang will follow the governor to Huai'an! The governor of the water transport and others intend to rebel. Pre-emptively capture this traitor, set the standard for punishment, and set the course for justice!"

"yes!"

Therefore, under the leadership of Zhang Gui, most of the official schools in Xichang went straight to Huai'an.

Here, Zhao Yan also ordered his Governor Biaoying and Sun Chuanting's subordinates: "Yangzhou officials and gentry have conspired against the city. This hall is ordered by the emperor to supervise the military and civil affairs of Zhezhi. From now on, follow this hall to attack Yangzhou and wipe out the rebels!"

"yes!"

...

The most powerful official in Yangzhou in the Ming Dynasty was the Governor of Water Transport.

That's why Zhang Gui told Zhao Yan that all the people in this area, up to the Governor of Water Transport, had rebelled.

The full name of the Governor of Water Transport in the Ming Dynasty was the Governor of Water Transport, Governor Fengyang and other places.

The scope of jurisdiction includes the four prefectures of Fengyang, Luzhou, Huai'an, and Yangzhou, and the three prefectures of Chuzhou, Hezhou, and Xuzhou, as well as the eight guards of the left-behind division of Zhongdu, Zhili Dahe and other guards, and also manages the river.

The station is in Huai'an.

Therefore, Zhang Gui led his troops directly to attack Huai'an.

At this time, Chen Jianrong, the governor of water transportation in Huai'an city, did not expect that Zhang Gui would directly lead troops to attack Huai'an city.

He only thought that Zhang Gui and others would go directly to Yangzhou after arriving at Qingjiangpu along the Huai'an Canal.

He even colluded with Yangzhou officials and gentry. When Zhang Gui and others arrived in Yangzhou, he closed Yangzhou City tightly. Then when Zhang Gui and others were stopped outside Yangzhou City and were hungry and thirsty, he sent his soldiers to pretend to be bandits. Attack and kill Zhang Gui and others.

Therefore, he did not let Huai'an City strengthen its defenses in advance.

And Huai'an City is still open as usual, allowing merchants and people to come in and out.

When the Xichang Huang Degong cavalry came, he saw that there were only a few soldiers standing guard inside and outside the gate of Huai'an, but except for two people who were carefully checking the entry and exit, the rest were lazily dozing against the gate.

Seeing this, Huang Degong simply led his cavalry to rush over.

These Huai'an soldiers were just woken up by the sound of horseshoes, when they were chopped down by Huang Degong and others.

Huang Degong and others successfully captured Huai'an City.

Chen Jianrong, the Governor of Water Transportation, was admonishing his confidants and generals at this time: "It is reported that Uncle Zhang Guo and Zhao Butang have arrived at Qingjiangpu and will soon go straight to Yangzhou City. You must clean things up, you know? In addition, whoever can capture or kill Zhang Gui and Zhao Yan will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver!"

As soon as Chen Jianrong finished speaking, a family of Ding Helmets ran in with slanted armor: "Master, it's not good, the official school of Xichang has invaded Huai'an City!"

"What?!"

Chen Jianrong was shocked when he heard this.

The servant cried and said, "He's already coming this way now! There are a lot of people here!"

"How could it be that they came directly to attack Huai'an City? Didn't they go south to implement the New Deal, but came here to rebel? And the intention is to come to Huai'an first to lift the military power of the hall?"

Chen Jianrong murmured.

Gong Guozheng, the commander-in-chief of Chen Jianrong's command, therefore asked, "Butang, do we still have to go to Yangzhou?"

Snapped!

Chen Jianrong threw an inkstone directly at Gong Guozheng's face, and cursed out of composure, "Fuck your mother!"

After speaking, Chen Jianrong said: "Go and meet the job immediately!"

Not long after, Chen Jianrong led all the officials in Huai'an City to the city gate and knelt down to greet him.

When Zhang Gui was also entering Huai'an City at this time, he saw Chen Jianrong kneeling outside the city, and asked, "What are you doing?"

Chen Jianrong humbly said: "Chen Jianrong, the humble governor of water transportation, led Huai'an bureaucrats and gentry to welcome the mission!"

After hearing this, Zhang Gui said, "Get up, everyone."

"Thank you, sir!"

Chen Jianrong stood up after agreeing.

After Zhang Gui made it clear that his Xichang soldiers had completely controlled Huai'an City, he suddenly ordered: "Detain Chen Jianrong, Governor of Water Transportation, and Gong Guozheng, Chief of Huai'an Army! If you dare to resist, you will be shot!"

"yes!"

Huang Degong agreed and waved his hand, and the Xichang Official School under his command detained Chen Jianrong and Gong Guozheng, the commander-in-chief, on the ground.

At the same time, Zhang Gui's soldiers and servants all took turtledove guns and surrounded Chen Jianrong, Gong Guozheng and other officials and their servants.

When Chen Jianrong and the others' servants saw so many firecrackers pointing at them, they didn't dare to do anything wrong.

Naturally, Chen Jianrong and Gong Guozheng were also shocked. They struggled and shouted, "Businessmen, what are you doing?"

"Interrogation by order!"

As Zhang Gui said, he looked at the two of them: "Chen Jianrong, Governor of Water Transport, and Gong Guozheng, General Guard of Huai'an and in charge of Cao Ding, why didn't the water transport arrive at the capital last year?"

"answer!"

Zhang Gui then asked loudly.

Chen Jianrong had already made up a reason and explained: "Jiangnan didn't bring the grain, so we have nothing to do."

"How do you become the governor of water transport? Are the 100,000 water soldiers and civilians under you just for display?! If they don't come, they don't know how to collect them? Your Majesty gave you the right to supervise the water transport, not to let you just wait in Huai'an city Let them bring the grain here!"

Zhang Gui asked Chen Jianrong a lesson.

"The minister is dereliction of duty!"

Because Zhang Gui is now being asked to speak by order, and Zhang Gui's identity is the imperial envoy who went south on behalf of the emperor, so Chen Jianrong proclaimed himself a minister in front of Zhang Gui.

"I don't think you are dereliction of duty, you are rebellious and rebellious, and you deliberately conspired to cut off the food supply and destroy the foundation of my Ming Dynasty!"

Zhang Gui also spoke in the tone of the emperor because he was asking questions according to the order.

After hearing this, Chen Jianrong hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I am wronged! I dare not have such thoughts, I really just dare not accept it."

"Don't tell the truth, do you have to wait to be hacked into pieces, or do you have to wait for the people in Yangzhou to confess all the evidence?"

Seeing this, Zhang Gui asked Chen Jianrong.

Chen Jianrong heard Zhang Gui say this: "I said, I said, I am willing to recruit everything. It was Zhao Nanxing and Zuo Guangdou who wrote the letter to the minister and told him to do this. The minister colluded with the Yangzhou officials and gentry to plot Uncle Guo and Zhao Butang were also instructed by them."

Then, Zhang Gui looked at Gong Guozheng: "Is what he said the truth?"

Gong Guozheng didn't dare to hide it at this time, and hurriedly said: "It's the truth!"

"Let them write the detailed process as a confession, and then sign it!"

Zhang Gui therefore ordered.

A quarter of an hour later, Chen Jianrong and Gong Guozheng signed the written confession and pledged it.

And after Zhang Gui got these signed confessions, he handed them to Huang Degong: "Seal it immediately, and send it to Beijing with an express delivery of 800 miles!"

Then, Zhang Gui looked at Chen Jianrong and Gong Guozheng and said, "You two are quite honest. For the sake of both of you telling the truth, this governor spared you from the death penalty on behalf of the emperor. But since he has committed the sin of corrupting the state and murdering imperial envoys, he has to bear the consequences of doing so."

As he said that, Zhang Gui ordered: "Cut these two in front of all the officials and gentry in Huai'an! Then pack up their heads and take them away!"

"yes!"

After hearing this, Chen Jianrong cried out in panic: "I beg Uncle Guo to spare me the death penalty for my humble job! I don't want to die for my humble job! I really don't want to die!"

Gong Guozheng also said: "Uncle Guo, please forgive me. I promise that I will never listen to them again and murder Uncle Guo. I beg Uncle Guo to give me a way to survive!"

Zhang Gui didn't respond.

He knew that from the moment he decided to support the reform, he could not be merciful to the reactionaries, because throughout the history of the reform, the losers of the reform and reform have never treated the reformers because of the softness of the reformers.

What's more, top-down reforms are actually no different from revolutions if they want to carry out thorough reforms.

"Uncle Guo is so kind! We dare not cut off the water transportation again!"

Chen Jianrong, the governor of water transportation, was pinned to the ground just as he was shouting, his neck was exposed.

Click!

Immediately, a knife fell.

Chen Jianrong's head fell to the ground, blood spilled from the severed neck, and the Huai'an officials and gentry present turned pale with fright.

Gong Guozheng, the general officer of Huai'an who co-organized the water transportation, was also beheaded, and his head rolled to the ground, which made the Huai'an officials and gentry present pale with fright, and trembled all over.

None of them expected that when Uncle Zhang Guo came to the south of the Yangtze River, he would kill a governor of water transport and a general of Huai'an first.

Seeking to read, can you not keep books first, because the historical flow is too small, there are not many people who read history, and I have a lot of words, so there are 200,000 words, and only more than 6,000 collections. Fortunately, the recommendation is to read. The results of reading, so I ask those who like this book to keep reading, don't keep it for now.
