Chapter 620 Have I lost my partner?(1/2)
Wu Litu also held the knife and rushed towards Chu Yi, his eyes full of murderous intent: "Even if Chu Yi, the most powerful person in the Ming Dynasty, is here, he will not be able to escape the fate of siege and killing. Wang Shouren, you really underestimate us."
In the eyes of Wu Litu and others, Wang Shouren was too arrogant and actually announced the imperial decree in this commanding tent. Isn’t this putting himself in a dangerous place?
Even if Chu Yi, who is known as the number one in the Ming Dynasty, so what if he is strong, can he be stronger than so many of them?
The sword light enveloped Wang Shouren. It has to be said that Wu Litu and his team up to attack were really not something that anyone could take. However, the object they chose was not someone, but a powerful man of innate level like Wang Shouren.
Just as Wang Shouren stood there motionlessly, just as the sword light drowned Wang Shouren's figure, he heard a jingle sound. The next moment he stabbed a long spear out. In just a few strokes, the several Jurchen powerhouses who besieged Wang Shouren were picked out one by one, and then they were shot to the ground by Wang Shouren with the spear in his hand.
Wu Litu and others lay on the ground and spitted blood, looking at Wang Shouren with horror on their faces.
It is really that Wang Shouren's elegant appearance is too confusing. Even if Wang Shouren is famous in the army, Wu Litu and others think that Wang Shouren is outstanding in strategy and never thought that Wang Shouren had such a profound cultivation level.
As one of the few innate powerhouses in the world, Wang Shouren should not be too relaxed in dealing with Wu Litu and others. Otherwise, how could he risk his life to put himself in an unfavorable situation?
It is precisely because of this that the leaders of the Wu Litu tribe, such as Wu Ji tribe, jumped into the trap prepared for them without any defense.
Wang Shouren glanced at the leaders of the Jurchen tribe who were cursing on the ground and waved his hand and said, "Take everyone down."
There was a lot of movement in the big tent, so naturally it alarmed the two rebels outside the big tent. The warriors of the Jurchen tribe tried to rush into the big tent one by one, but were blocked by the elite soldiers under Wang Shouren.
Just as the two sides confronted each other, Wang Shouren walked out of the big tent, and behind him were the leaders of the Jurchen tribe who were tied up.
Wang Shouren heard a sudden shout: "Wu Litu and others have been killed, and you will surrender and not kill you!"
When they saw the Wu Litu and the others tied up behind Wang Shouren, the warriors of the Jurchen tribe opened their eyes one by one, looked at them with disbelief and looked dejected with guilt on their faces.
Seeing this situation, Wang Shouren took a step forward, and his powerful aura spread out, and he shouted: "You can't surrender quickly!"
"Kill, kill this dog official and rescue the leader..."
With a shout, the surrounding Jurchen Warriors surrounded Wang Shouren and others.
Wang Shouren sighed softly, shook his head slowly and said, "Kill!"
With Wang Shouren's order, the soldiers around him actually took out powerful crossbows one by one.
The arrows fell like rain, just a blink of an eye. All the attention was placed on Wang Shouren and others. The Jurchen tribe warriors who had been watching Wang Shouren and others had never thought that the Ming soldiers around them would hide such a powerful weapon as a powerful crossbow.
Each arrow is enough to take away a life. No matter how brave it is, it is so good that it can fight the bear and tiger. If it goes down, it will be buried on the spot.
Even if hundreds of warriors waved their swords and guns, it would be easy to face the Ming soldiers who were prepared for a long time and be surrounded and killed by hundreds of powerful crossbows.
It took only a dozen breaths, and the surroundings were calm besides screaming. Seeing the warriors in one of his tribes being shot and killed on the spot, even Wu Litu and others couldn't help but look horrified.
These warriors can be said to be the foundation of their foothold and the backbone of the tribe, especially some tribes that live between mountains and forests, rely entirely on these warriors to struggle to survive in the mountains and forests. Once these warriors suffer too much losses, it can even affect the rise and fall of a tribe.
If all the warriors of a tribe die, then the tribe is destined to disappear.
"Stop, stop, we are willing to surrender, we are willing to surrender..."
At this time, the leaders of Wu Litu could not help but pleaded with Wang Shouren one by one.
Unfortunately, Wang Shouren didn't even look at them, and had no intention of stopping. Wang Shouren did not speak, so the powerful crossbows in the hands of the Ming soldiers were naturally aimed at the Jurchen tribe warriors who shot.
Gradually, bloody aura spread around, and the powerful crossbow in the hand of a Ming soldier broke with a crack, and it seemed that the powerful crossbow with almost dozens of arrows shot out was broken.
Although I dare not say that every arrow can shoot a Jurchen, if three or five arrows are used, it will definitely take away a life.
There were only a thousand people, but after experiencing such a rain of arrows, there were less than a hundred people who could stand there.
"vomit……"
"Surrender, I surrender, don't kill me, don't..."
The remaining people were almost scared and murmured as if they were crazy.
Not to mention these people, even if it were others, there were corpses of companions around them, and they were locked by arrows, they might lose their lives at any time. No matter how tough the mentality is, they would be scared crazy.
In one day, Wang Shouren completely solved the senior management of the three guards of Jianzhou and the leaders of the Jurchen tribes who were in trouble outside the pass.
The Jurchen tribe, where the leader left, was like a headless fly. With Wang Shouren's order, tens of thousands of troops in the court directly divided into several divisions, and rushed towards these Jurchen tribes like wolves and tigers.
If the leaders of these Jurchen tribes were still alive, they might be able to resist that, but now being plotted by Wang Shouren, everyone's leaders were either killed or captured. The moment when the Daming Heavenly Soldiers came, the Jurchens didn't even know how to deal with it.
Wang Shouren, who pacified the land outside the pass, returned to the court in one battle, was bound to the emperor's imperial decree. Also with Wang Shouren's return, coupled with Yang Yiqing and others, the power of the Wu Wang Party naturally increased greatly, and easily suppressed the bad signs revealed by some officials.
After all, Chu Yi has been away from the capital for nearly a year, and people are forgetful. Even if someone like Chu Yi is still forgotten in the face of time, he will not have much deterrence.
Fighting for power and profit is human instinct, especially those officials who enter the court as officials. If they do not fight for power and profit, that would be abnormal.
Wang Shouren and Xie's return of great victory immediately caused the Wu Wang Party to rise sharply, stabilizing the situation in the court.
Zhu Houzhao did not forget Chu Yi's advice. Although there are virtuous and important officials such as Wang Shouren and Yang Yiqing in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Houzhao has never missed an early court. It can be said that he is dedicated to his duties. Even the censors who are full of thoughts to find fault with the emperor cannot find any problems.
In the imperial study room, Zhu Houzhao was sitting there, and opposite were Wang Shouren, Yang Yiqing, Chen Ding and other cabinet masters.
Apart from formal occasions, Zhu Houzhao actually has no imperial airs. In this imperial study, the monarch and ministers sit opposite each other, looking harmonious with the monarch and ministers.
At this moment, Wang Shouren said to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Majesty, news has been heard from the place outside the pass. As autumn begins, the people who have moved to the pass have already made a harvest. Although the food produced is not enough to welcome everyone, for the court, the burden of transporting food outside the pass can be greatly reduced."
Zhu Houzhao nodded slightly and said, "I can't feel at ease about this matter."
After a big killing, most of the Jurchen tribes outside the pass were destroyed. Even if some survived, the remaining people were largely a group of old, weak, sick and disabled.
Wang Shouren's name is outside the pass, especially among the remaining alien races, so Zhu Houzhao directly handed over the affairs outside the pass to Wang Shouren for handling.
Now it is obviously very effective. I think that at most another half a year, when the people who moved to the outside of the pass open up more worlds, at that time, if you think outside of the pass, you will no longer have to rely on the allocated grain support within the pass.
Zhu Houzhao sat there. Although he heard several cabinet masters report to him about the specific situation of some major events in the court, it was obvious that he was not thinking about it.
As the chief minister of the cabinet, Yang Yiqing naturally noticed that the emperor was distracted. With a light cough, Yang Yiqing looked at Zhu Houzhao and said, "Your Majesty, you are not worried about Your Highness Wu again."
Zhu Houbao looked at Yang Yiqing and sighed: "It's been almost a year. At the beginning, Dalian also sent back his letters, but it has been half a year since Dalian hadn't even sent back a letter. How can I not worry?"
Several people looked at each other, and Yang Yiqing smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, King Wu is so prepared for such a large fleet. The eunuch of the Three Treasures could return safely when he went to the West several times, so His Highness King Wu can also return smoothly, it's just a matter of time.
Wang Shouren said: "The reason why King Wu did not hear back is because the distance is too far. After all, the sea is stormy and every letter must cross the ocean, thousands of miles away. In this case, no one can guarantee that every letter can be delivered to the capital smoothly."
Wang Shouren said nothing, Zhu Houzhao immediately said: "So, Daban's fleet is very likely to have something unexpected, otherwise, how could it be that there would be no letter for so long?"
While he was speaking, an eunuch walked in quietly outside the imperial study room. Wang Zheng, who was standing next to him, hurried forward when he saw this.
The eunuch handed a letter to Wang Zheng and then quietly retreated, which did not affect the dialogue between the emperor and the ministers.
Wang Zheng looked down at the letter, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
However, as the emperor's close attendant, Wang Zheng hurriedly walked to the emperor and whispered in the emperor's ear.
"What, news from the fleet!"
With a low voice, Zhu Houzhao's face showed a look of surprise, and subconsciously looked into Wang Zheng's hand.
It was a letter, and it was obvious that the letter was well protected, but Zhu Houzhao couldn't wait to take the letter.
With a glance, Zhu Houzhao's eyes shrank, because from the mark on the letter, Zhu Houzhao could confirm that this was a letter sent back by Cheng Yi, the Qianhu official of the Jinyiwei who was traveling to the West with Chu Yi.
This letter was sent from Cheng Yi, and passed through more than a dozen countries along the way, and experienced storms. The Jinyiwei staff who were responsible for delivering the letter almost collapsed and died several times.
Generally speaking, if the fleet has nothing to do, the Jinyiwei will not take the initiative to convey the message to him.
After all, Zhu Houzhao sent the Jinyiwei, and the people from the East Factory were not on the way to monitor Chu Yi, and he would not monitor Chu Yi. He just sent these people, hoping that Chu Yi could use it more easily.
Now Zhu Houzhao looked at the letter sent from Cheng Yi, a Qianhu of the Jinyiwei, and Zhu Houzhao felt a little uneasy in his heart.
"Is there something wrong with Da Pang... No, no, Da Pang will definitely not have any trouble!"
Zhu Houzhao murmured softly, and Yang Yiqing, who was sitting opposite Zhu Houzhao, Wang Yangming and other cabinet masters also noticed the letter Wang Zheng handed to Zhu Houzhao.
Hearing Zhu Houzhao's involuntary muttering, Wang Yangming and others suddenly understood that the letter actually came from the fleet voyage to the West.
If we count, if the journey was extremely smooth, the fleet would have been thousands of miles away after so long.
Just as the emperor said, the news about the fleet has been cut off for almost half a year. Everyone doesn't say it, but it would be strange if they say nothing is worried.
At this moment, a letter from the fleet suddenly appeared, especially the letter was sent by the people from the Jinyiwei, and everyone stared at the letter in the hands of the emperor.
Yang Yiqing took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty!"
Aroused by Yang Yiqing, Zhu Houzhao realized that he had just lost his composure. He nodded to several ministers who had trustworthy letters, and then placed the letter on the table in front of him and said: "This is the message sent by Cheng Yi, the Jinyiwei Qianhu, who I sent to assist his partner. It only depends on the date above. It took more than three months to deliver it to the capital. If there is a slight mistake during this period, this letter may not be in front of me."
Anyone who is familiar with the emperor will notice that although Zhu Houzhao was explaining the origin of the letter to everyone, he only looked at his robe and sleeves, and his hands were slightly tightly clenched and loosened. After repeated repetition, he could see that Zhu Houzhao was not as calm as he showed.
Wang Yangming stroked his beard and looked at the letter on the table. His eyes fell on Zhu Houzhao's slightly nervous face. He sighed in his heart, and then he said, "Your Majesty, since it is news about the fleet, Your Majesty, please open it."
Zhu Houzhao looked at the letter, and felt a little uneasy in her heart. She slowly reached out to look towards the letter. The moment she touched the letter, Zhu Houzhao's hand paused slightly.
However, Zhu Houzhao is an emperor of the generation after all, and it is only when he encounters Chu Yi's affairs that makes him so strange.
Taking a deep breath, Zhu Houzhao slowly opened the letter, and his eyes naturally fell on the lines of handwriting.
Zhu Houzhao's breathing became heavier and heavier. Suddenly, Zhu Houzhao slapped the table on her face, and shouted with anger: "The waste is all waste, and so many people can't find one!"
Cheng Yi honestly summoned Chu Yi's disappearance in the letter, and then they spent a while, almost digging three feet to search, but they couldn't find Chu Yi's traces one by one in the letter.
What Zhu Houzhao was most worried about was something unexpected happened to Chu Yi. Although he only said that Chu Yi was missing in the letter, he did not say that Chu Yi had any accident.
But even if it was missing, it would be unacceptable to Zhu Houzhao.
Why did so many people disappear? Chu Yi just disappear? If you want to say something dangerous when Chu Yi encountered, Zhu Houzhao would not believe it first.
What kind of cultivation is Chu Yi? If Zhu Houzhao didn't know what kind of cultivation is in the past, but if he followed Shao Yuanjie and Zhang Yanxi, two Taoist innate powerhouses, Zhu Houzhao had heard Shao Yuanjie and Zhang Yanxi admire Chu Yi's cultivation more than once.
Both Shao Yuanjie and Zhang Yanfeng praised Chu Yi's cultivation level very much. He said bluntly that if Chu Yi's cultivation level was second, then no one dared to say that he was first.
