Chapter 2458 Recruiting the True Dragon

The county magistrate was stunned.

No one thought that there would be such a powerful summoning object on this mountain.

dragon?

"Is that a real dragon?"

"No, it must be an illusion!"

Even so, the morale of the strong men from the county completely collapsed after seeing this scene.

When someone first saw the tens of meters long dragon from a distance, some people wanted to run away.

And now the dragon took another breath and turned into a hurricane.

Is this good enough?

Almost everyone turned around and ran away.

Fortunately, Rich Master Liu's people didn't have much training, so they just yelled and didn't catch up.

Otherwise, a few of them will be scared to death.

After some twists and turns, no one died in the battle.

However, more than a dozen people fell to their death in panic after falling off the mountain road while escaping.

Not a single person actually died in the battle.

In the end, the county magistrate didn't think it looked good and declared the two related people who fell to death as killed in battle.

Not only did people fall to death on the road, there were even more missing people.

More than 1/3.

This is because some people were afraid and did not dare to run home, so they ran directly into the mountains to hide.

As for the reason, he was probably worried about offending Shenlong and being punished, which would bring harm to his family.

The county magistrate of Jinshi was too lazy to take care of these losses.

After he returned to the county seat, he immediately began to write letters, write notices, and report to the superiors.

And it’s still 100 miles express.

With his power as county magistrate, he can send urgent letters hundreds of miles away.

If you want to send an expedited shipment of 300 miles, 600 miles, or even 800 miles, you must be in an important stronghold, a provincial capital or the like, to have the ability to send this kind of expedited service.

His notice soon reached nearby Fucheng.

After the prefect saw the notice he sent, he immediately said disdainfully: "What is it?"

"What do you mean someone summoned a dragon?"

"It's just ridiculous."

"What a bunch of country women!"

"I guess he mistook the birds in the sky for dragons."

"Or think of a giant earthworm as a dragon."

"It's ridiculous, not worth mentioning."

The prefect ignored it.

However, Nazhi County issued emergency reports one after another.

This shocked the prefect a little.

"What's going on with this guy? Is there something wrong with him?"

"Does he think these things can just be handed out?"

The prefect was very angry, but after getting angry, he felt strange.

So he decided to send his confidants to see the actual situation.

It's rebellion again, and it's dragon's again.

If he was unsure, he would not dare to report it as is.

So the prefect sent two of his own soldiers to protect his master's confidants and went to the county town to see for himself.

When the master and his soldiers came to the county town, they visited and heard hundreds of people saying the same thing.

Everyone swears by it.

Said they all saw the dragon.

Moreover, the magistrate himself drew a painting to prove the existence of this dragon.

At the same time, he also talked about the wealthy man Liu who established himself as emperor.

After hearing this, the master immediately knew that something was wrong.

This shouldn't be fake.

You must know that if this report is lied, this Jinshi will probably have his whole family executed.

If it's not true.

He wouldn't dare lie like this.

So the master immediately sorted out the relevant information and asked the county magistrate to sign it.

Relevant people also signed and pledged their signatures.

In the end, hundreds of people's paintings were collected.

He once again took the magistrate's painting with him and rode all the way back to the magistrate's home in person.

Without the approval of the prefect and the transfer order from above, the county magistrate cannot leave his residence at will.

Leaving the station is regarded as treason or escape.

Abandoning one's county seat will result in execution, at worst, dismissal from office.

After receiving the news from his cronies, the magistrate stamped his seal and allowed the county magistrate to come and report in person.

So the county magistrate made another trip.

This is feudal society.

The process is lengthy and inefficient.

Otherwise, why can't we defeat the nomadic tribes repeatedly?

The county magistrate soon arrived at the magistrate's office in Fucheng.

After he reported his matter in person, the prefect finally felt the seriousness of the matter.

He solemnly said: "Well, it seems that I want to ask Lord Bingbeidao to mobilize troops to suppress these rebellions."

Afterwards, he went to Bingbei Road Yamen.

And the military preparation method cannot be used to deploy troops casually.

He could only summon more than 100 people from his headquarters.

This is something he can call directly, but he cannot leave the city 50 miles away.

In order to prevent the emergence of generals, these local generals do not have the power to mobilize troops.

Only governors, governors, and other officials personally appointed by the imperial court have the power to mobilize troops.

Of course, in troubled times, in order to facilitate the raising of grain, these officials gradually seized the power of local governance and were able to control local administrators.

Eventually, it slowly became a new feudal town.

The most typical example is Zuo Liangyu of the Ming Dynasty.

There are also four towns in the south of the Yangtze River, which are typical vassal towns in the late Ming Dynasty. They no longer listen to the court and collect taxes on their own.

But now is still a time of peace, and these peacetime commanders cannot mobilize their troops.

Therefore, the two began to send urgent reports to the Chief Envoy Si Yamen above, and both directed the Envoy Si to report.

At the same time, a report was sent to the court and cabinet.

A serious matter like this kind of rebellion can be reported beyond the level.

The boss will definitely be unhappy.

But don't skip the level. If something big happens, the three clans will be wiped out.

The prefects and above in this area have the privilege to report to the cabinet and the six ministries when encountering urgent matters.

After all, this is not an ordinary world, it is a world with summoned objects.

Once a dangerous summoned object appears, if the court cannot know it immediately, then the problem will be huge.

Of course, in order to limit random submission of memorials, the county magistrate cannot do it, and a second confirmation from the magistrate is required.

Otherwise, everything will be auspicious and the court will not have to work.

After taking these measures, the prefect and Bing Beidao began to drink tea in front of the anxious county magistrate.

They can't dispatch local soldiers to send troops without permission.

It is one thing for a county magistrate to take his government officials to the countryside and arrest a few villagers who rebel.

Officially sending troops is another matter.

The county magistrate was extremely worried.

He knows that if time delays by one point, the opponent will expand by three points.

Because dragons control wind and rain, these things are too easy to attract stupid people.

Those who have no food to eat and are beggars and homeless people are easily deceived.

Of course, it doesn't have much combat effectiveness.

But it’s easy to build momentum.

After this incident, even if it goes down, he, the county magistrate of the place where the incident occurred, will definitely end up being executed.

If you are lucky, your family will not be affected.

If you are unlucky, your family will also be exiled.

But the prefect didn't move at all.

Because he does not have the authority to deploy troops.

To be honest, he was also anxious.

But don't rush, this is the rule of the court.

The local garrison must obtain troop deployment orders from above before they can mobilize troops.

Fortunately, after the report was submitted, the superiors took it seriously this time.

After all, there are so many people drawing stamps and images.

This dragon thing is unlikely to be fake.

This time the memorial and news were first copied to the governor of the province.

As an imperial envoy, the governor has the power to mobilize troops.

Of course, he can only command 2,000 troops in his headquarters.

Able to mobilize the military strength of a province.

In the governor's Yamen.

Governor Zhu frowned as he looked at the copied news.

Then I gave it to the masters to see.

One of the masters said: "It should be true that he proclaimed himself emperor in a mountain village. After all, if the administrators below were not stupid, they would not lie about such a thing."

"Because this is a worrying matter, the supervisor will report good news but not bad news. If he reports bad news, it means it must be true, and it will be much bigger than what he reported."

The governor nodded.

Seventy percent of happy events are fake.

Worry should be expanded by seven points to be real.

This is the experience of being an official.

"If they could annihilate the compatriots on the spot, they would definitely have annihilated them. Now that they have reported it, it means they cannot annihilate them. They are afraid of making the matter bigger in the future, and in the end they will be accused of not reporting the knowledge, so they will report the matter to the police."

Report it."

"However, this dragon thing may be half-truth and half-false. It may be that in order to shirk responsibility, the local people treat a dragon-like summoned thing as a dragon." The master said clearly.

The governor nodded.

So he ordered the Yamen to be put into operation and began to order the deployment of troops.

Issue an order to mobilize troops, order nearby troops to prepare roads, and gather soldiers at guard posts.

Soon, the governor gathered 8,000 people within one month and recruited 4,000 civilians.

Liangqi carries 20,000 stones, two months' worth of food.

He also ordered nearby counties to prepare food supplies.

After everything was ready, we began to enter the mountains to encircle and suppress them.

This number is already very high.

The governor was dubious at first.

It wasn't until he led his troops and saw a tens of meters long dragon flying in mid-air that he was suddenly surprised.

"Is there really a dragon?"

As soon as this dragon appeared, the morale of his 8,000 elite troops plummeted.

You must know that this is a good soldier who can give you one and a half silvers a month.

The morale is still there.

It also took more than half a year of training.

But now many people are trembling with fear.

There are only 2,000 governor's standard battalions, which are considered relatively elite and can barely sustain themselves.

Others have started to look around.

This is similar to the performance of those young and strong people who make up the numbers.

And Wen Rensheng took another breath.

This feudal era soldier is too easy to defeat.

Because their morale and organization are so poor.

Too uneven.

Unlike modern times, they are basically the same.

If you don't hit the last 30%, you will often not collapse.

Wen Rensheng's two words directly caused 6,600 of the 8,000 people to run away.

The whole mountain road was crowded.

Many people fell directly into the ravine.

More people dropped their weapons and headed into the mountains and forests.

There is no courage to fight at all.

When the governor saw this, he knew he was defeated.

He was not surprised.

Because such an enemy is simply not something they can fight against.

It can fly and it is a dragon.

It can also call for wind and rain.

Gods and supernatural beings have magical powers, but mortals simply don’t have the guts to wield a sword.

There are a few guerrillas and generals who are somewhat courageous.

They also wanted to use bows and arrows to shoot the dragon.

Only a few sharp arrows were seen, shooting directly at the dragon's head.

However, the next moment, the wind started to rise.

He scraped the arrow back.

It can be seen from this that these few people are really loyal generals of the imperial court.

How dare you attack the totem that has been passed down by all peoples for thousands of years.

The governor sighed when he saw this.

Loyal minister.

But in the end I'm afraid I will be dragged into being a scapegoat.

Once the court certified that the dragon was real.

These people must die.

Including him.

Thinking of this, he quickly looked for a way to protect himself.

There was nothing he could do about it.

Their shooting is meaningless, just a waste of arrows.

After all, this is a real dragon.

There is still a dragon with supernatural powers!

Then the governor knew that he was finished.

He couldn't handle it anymore.

He ordered his own soldiers to suppress the formation and retreat slowly.

After finally gathering more than 3,000 people, they retreated to a nearby county.

Then he began to report to the court.

The court didn't believe it at first, but thousands of people said they saw the dragon.

This has to be believed.

The problem is that there is no problem with real dragons.

But the real dragon was summoned by the son of a rebellious careerist.

This is big trouble.

Within the cabinet.

The emperor was discussing with several great scholars.

"Your Majesty, since ancient times, we can only recruit those who do not claim to be emperors, but those who claim to be emperors cannot be recruited," said the bachelor of Shoufu.

"That's what the first assistant said." The second assistant's bachelor followed.

"You can only kill it."

"Kill the father and keep the son, recruit his son, keep the true dragon, and our dynasty will be able to survive for thousands of years." Shofu University Scholar continued.

The emperor nodded slightly.

"Just draw up the edict according to this idea, and make it clear to the world."

"Then the Governor of the Southeast is ordered to personally lead 50,000 troops to encircle and suppress them with troops from the five provinces."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

soon.

The governor of the southeast brought 50,000 elite troops, including 8,000 cavalry, 20,000 infantry, 2,000 musketeers, and 20,000 baggage troops.

They specially brought the eight-oxen crossbow to deal with the real dragon.

And the Governor also has capable people under his command.

The governor-general suggested: "According to the students' investigation, in Liujia Village, the person who proclaimed himself emperor was Mr. Liu, and the others are just stupid people."

"All it takes is an assassin to kill Rich Master Liu, and his son will naturally be stunned. We will then come up with the emperor's decree and recruit his son to safety."

"And of the 50,000 troops, only 10,000 need to be dispatched, and the remaining 40,000 troops will be paid and fed..."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The Governor smiled slightly.

"good very good."

"Seventy percent of the remaining military pay will be sent to the emperor's inner treasury, and 30% will be divided among ourselves."

"Understood." Master smiled and nodded.

In fact, 30% goes to the emperor and 70% goes to them.

Some words should be listened to in reverse.

The Governor will not leave any evidence behind the scenes.

If something goes wrong, it's the people's fault.

If the master really only leaves 30% for the governor, he will not be able to see the sun tomorrow.

Then, the governor began to let people march.

Ba Niu Crossbow, directly use crossbow arrows to shoot the dragon.

Although it is just a show, it also contains the intention of testing.

If it was just an illusion, just a fake dragon, wouldn't it have deceived the emperor?

But the situation remains the same.

The governor's crossbow arrows were also blown away by Wen Rensheng's breath.

Seeing this, the governor no longer had any doubts.

This dragon cannot be killed.

Even if you can kill, you can't kill.

He will not bear this infamy.

Today you can kill the dragon, tomorrow you will dare to kill the emperor.

After all, the emperor is the real dragon emperor.

Then he secretly sent someone to secretly send him wine and beautiful women, and at the same time ordered an assassin to kill him.

I saw that Mr. Liu suddenly fell into celebration.

Addicted to pleasure.

Then he was easily assassinated.

Wen Rensheng saw it at a glance.

But he didn't bother to care about it.

He gave the other party the best protection.

If Li Zicheng had such protection as him, he would have successfully rebelled five years in advance.

If you are not afraid of the invasion of the army, you can develop with peace of mind.

Do you really think Li Zicheng wants to be a bandit?

The problem is that all the people sitting on the land have been hanged.

Later, Li Zicheng occupied Xiangyang and started operating it.

I'm just still a little impatient.

He did not understand that the real enemy was the Manchus. He still maintained his previous thinking, thinking that the Manchus were just nomadic plunderers who would leave after plundering.

Unexpectedly, after the other party established the country, he wanted to enter the pass and seize the world.

This prevented him from concentrating his main forces and dispersed his forces to conquer the four sides along the way, which led to the Manchu Qing entering the pass early and losing the decisive battle.

And the same is true for this rich man Liu.

He was immediately poisoned to death by a beautiful woman.

The little fat man no longer had a father at that time.

Ordinarily, the little fat man would be recruited later, and then the real dragon would return to the court.

However, at this moment.

Wen Rensheng discovered an interesting thing.

That is, the little fat man was frightened to death, and then a time traveler possessed him.
