Chapter twenty-four on the way
Ying Yi took Erniu to the patrol and sent him out of the city without a trace. Then he came to the top of the city without stopping, and asked someone to call three hundred household officials and ten general flag officials to the front.
Two of these three officials from the hundred households were the sons of Zheng Yunzhi's family. Both surnamed Zheng Liu and the other named Zheng Jiu. The remaining one was what Zheng Yunzhi said before, telling him the hunters of the treasure land in Fangcheng Mountain.
There are 4,000 households in Ye County, with a population of more than 20,000. It is not easy to move so many people to the mountains. The biggest difficulty is that the mountains are barren and have no place to settle down. This hunter Zhang Shi provided him with conditions when Zheng Yunzhi needed it most.
Therefore, he was promoted to an official of a household, even if he was illiterate.
The other ten general banner officials, including Zhou Li and Lian Biao, were only one of the elderly people in the Qianhu House of Luyang Wei, and the others were newly recruited and promoted.
Zheng Liu and Zheng Jiu have very similar faces, but they are twin brothers. Both of them are big and thick, and they look a little thicker than Zheng Wu. But their brains are not as flexible as Zheng Wu. Zhang Shi is a short and strong man with a simple face, with a slightly dark skin.
As for the officials of the hundreds of households, except for the one left by the thousands of households in Luyang, the others are all local good children.
They all have good mental outlook.
Even the old man from the Qianhu House in Luyang was also a honest and honest person. Otherwise, with Zheng Yunzhi's methods, if he were a slick and dirty person, he would have been captured long ago.
Zheng Yunzhi established these five hundred households, but had some ambitions. As a person within the system, Zheng Yunzhi certainly knew the corruption of the garrison system and the corruption in it. Therefore, with Zheng Yunzhi's efforts, this team is completely different from other garrison soldiers who have already corrupted and corrupted.
The soldiers were all young and strong local children, while the officers were headed by Zheng Yunzhi's family. They were firmly controlled.
"Fengxian respects the master's order." Ying Yi said seriously: "There is something important tonight, and two hundred households need to be allocated. Zhou Li, Lian Biao, you two are one of the hundred households to which I belong. Who wants the other one?"
Zheng Liu and Zheng Jiu looked at each other, and Zheng Liu clasped his fists and said, "I am willing."
Ying Yi nodded without hesitation: "Then you."
Then, "Others who take turns patrolling according to the customs must not make any mistakes. If two hundred households are missing, the staff may be a little tight. Tonight, brothers will take care of them."
Then Ying Yi brought two hundred households to gather.
Ying Yi said: "Zheng Baihu, dear general flag officials, I need fifty wooden boxes and twenty cars and horses. Zhou Li, Lian Biao, you two take the hundred households to prepare wooden boxes. You must complete them before midnight! Remember, the wooden boxes cannot be perfunctory."
"Yes, hundreds of households!"
Zhou Li, Lian Biao and others left.
Ying Yi said to Zheng Liudao again: "Leave the twenty cars and horses to Brother Zheng."
Zheng Liu said cheerfully: "Brother Ying, don't worry, I, Old Zheng, will never delay the slightest."
Half an hour before midnight, the wooden boxes and chariots were all in stock. The wooden boxes were placed on the chariots and horses, one was built on two wooden boxes, and one carriage and horse was placed on three wooden boxes. At midnight, Liu Yun arrived.
Ying Yi nodded to him, pressed the knife and shouted: "Open the city gate."
Under the torch, the city gate creaked open, and Ying Yi waved his hand and said, "Get out of the city."
After saying that, he turned over and took a horse, grabbed the reins, and said to Liu Yun, who was also on the horse, and said, "President Liu, please."
A group of more than 200 people and twenty cars and horses soon left the city gate. Ying Yi turned around and saw Zheng Yunzhi looking out of the city.
Ying Yi hugged his fists on the horse's back and shouted, and the group gradually disappeared into the darkness and disappeared.
Zheng Yunzhi watched them disappear into the darkness, and a trace of worry flashed across her face. She also went down to the city wall and went back to the city.
...
Ying Yi and Liu Yun rode together in the same horse, and Zheng Liu was behind the formation. Two hundred households, one on the left and one on the right, protecting the carriage and horses. Because the wooden boxes were empty, the speed was not slow. Although the night was dark, there was no chance of not being able to see the road along the official road.
Ying Yi can ride a horse, but is not proficient. Fortunately, his physical coordination is unparalleled, and it becomes smoother and smoother as he rides.
"According to the current course, you should be able to reach Erlang Mountain before dawn."
Liu Yun said: "Brother Ying's plan is very good, and Lord Qianhu will definitely adopt it."
Ying Yi shook his head: "I hope so. The news was leaked here, and hundreds of thousands of thieves were under his nose. To be honest, if there were thieves intercepting and killing them, and there were too many people, I'm afraid things would be worrying."
Liu Yun smiled: "I heard that Brother Ying is invincible and was confident before, so why are you worried now?"
His words were gentle and there was no irony.
Ying Yi smiled and said, "Although I have a high opinion of myself, hundreds of people, thousands of people are all minor things. But if there are tens of thousands of people, if I cannot kill the thief's head as soon as possible, I cannot guarantee safety. In front of Zheng County Zun, I cannot sigh."
Liu Yun nodded with a smile: "It's impossible for tens of thousands of people."
Ying Yi said in surprise: "Can Mr. Liu be sure?"
Liu Yun smiled and said, "Don't forget who I am."
Ying Yi was stunned, and then suddenly realized: "Yes, General Liu is the emperor's personal army of Jinyiwei, and his ears and eyes are all over the world. Do you know what the inside story?"
Liu Yun said: "Brother Ying is involved here, and there is no need to hide some things. We have obtained some information from the thieves. After speculation, we predicted the military pay. Among the thieves, only the thieves general Hao Yaoqi knew about it. The thieves are greedy. If I were Hao Yaoqi, I would not make any announcements, but would block the news to be taken solely. Since I could not make any announcements, then there would be no big disturbances in the tens of thousands of thieves under Hao Yaoqi's command. If he wanted to intercept and kill, he would definitely only send a small number of elite troops, and there would never be more than 5,000 people."
Ying Yi was surprised.
The reputation of the Jinyiwei was well-known hundreds of years later. At its peak, the tiqi cavalry was spread all over the world with countless ears and ears. Hundreds of years later, many people believed that in the late Ming Dynasty, when Chongzhen ascended the throne and overthrew Wei Zhongxian, they were overestimated and destroyed the Jinyiwei and the Dongchang.
Among them, many ministers helped to use the emperor's own hands to blind the emperor's own eyes.
Therefore, Chongzhen was repeatedly deceived and deceived by officials.
In Ying Yi's view, there were only three true wise rulers of the Ming Dynasty. The first one was Taizu Zhu Hongwu, the second one was Chengzu Emperor Yongle, and the third one was Emperor Hongzhi. Others except these three had defects, such as Emperor Jiajing, who had not attended court for decades. But the government was still under his control. This was not only because of the powerful imperial skills, but also because he had always firmly grasped the eyes and daggers of this country - Jinyiwei and Dongchang.
The existence of these two institutions was the greatest deterrent to all officials of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, they were jealous of officials. After Chongzhen ascended the throne, his experience was too shallow and he was stunned by some ministers, and he foolishly broke his hands and eyes.
