Lu Wenyang glanced at Zhang Yong indifferently and said with half a smile: "If this governor rebels, I wonder what the manager will do?"
As he spoke, Lu Wenyang said: "Should the manager take Lv and offer it to the emperor to ask for merit, or should he join Lu in the rebellion?"
Zhang Yong's expression became extremely ugly and he stared at Lu Wenyang.
However, Lu Wenyang laughed loudly and said: "No wonder the general manager can't beat Chu Yi. Compared with Chu Yi, the general manager is far behind."
Lu Wenyang's expression became serious and he said: "General Manager, don't try too hard to guess what I am going to do. I am gathering troops just to seize the more than 10 million taels of silver that Chu Yi brought back from Jiangnan!"
Zhang Yong secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. As long as Lu Wenyang didn't rebel directly, if Lu Wenyang really wanted to raise a flag to rebel, then he really didn't know what choice to make.
Taking a deep breath, Zhang Yong stood up and said to Lu Wenyang: "In this case, just pretend that our family has never been here!"
Zhang Yong was ordered to come to greet Gao Feng and his entourage, and escort tens of millions of taels of silver back to the capital. Ordinarily, Zhang Yong should stop him when he learned that Lu Wenyang was planning to get tens of millions of taels of silver.
However, Zhang Yong said that he would just pretend that he had not come to see Lu Wenyang, and his meaning was self-evident.
Looking at Zhang Yong's leaving figure, Lu Wenyang stroked his beard and showed a sarcastic smile.
Almost dozens of miles outside the Tianjin Acropolis, a group of soldiers and horses that have been beaten by the weather are stationed there. This group of people is Gao Feng, Shi Kui, Chu Fang, Fang Li and others.
After Chu Yi successfully returned to the capital, Chu Fang, Fang Li and others chose to inform Gao Feng.
After all, even if he continued to hide it, he couldn't hide it for long. When Gao Feng heard about it, he was first surprised, and then sighed in his heart.
Compared with Chu Yi's status in the emperor's mind, he, who was the chamberlain next to Zhu Houzhao at that time, had the least sense of existence.
However, Gao Feng didn't have any bad thoughts. Instead, he made up his mind to escort the tens of millions of taels of silver back to Beijing smoothly.
On the one hand, you can make good friends with Chu Yi, and on the other hand, you can win favor with the emperor.
After more than ten days of traveling, Gao Feng and his soldiers were exhausted. The only advantage was that they didn't have to rush. As long as they could return to Beijing safely, it didn't matter if they were delayed for a few days along the way.
On this day, in a temporary tent, Gao Feng, Shi Kui, Fang Li, and Chu Fang were all there.
Gao Feng, who was sitting at the top, said that he had the highest status among everyone. At this moment, Gao Feng could only hear Gao Feng say: "Everyone, the Tianjin Acropolis is in front of us. Should we consider entering the city to have a rest?"
Fang Li coughed lightly, saluted Gao Feng and said, "Manager Gao, please forgive me for my rude remarks."
Gao Feng looked at Fang Li's words, nodded slightly and said, "Young Master Fang, you might as well speak frankly."
Gao Feng already knew about Fang Li, so Gao Feng valued Fang Li quite a lot. In his opinion, as long as someone like Fang Li didn't fall in love with the wrong person, he would one day become a great person.
.
Feeling that Gao Feng valued him, Fang Li still remained respectful and said: "General Manager Gao, Tianjin City is the territory of Lu Wenyang, the governor of water transportation. Lu Wenyang had plotted against the governor in the previous episode. If General Manager Gao hadn't arrived in time,
I’m afraid the consequences will be disastrous.”
Gao Feng nodded slightly.
Fang Li continued: "Although Lu Wenyang seems to have restrained his little actions since then, if we bring tens of millions of taels of silver into the city, there is no guarantee that we will not attract the other party's prying eyes. Xiaosheng thinks that not only will we not be able to enter the city,
It is best to go around the city and stay away from Tianjin City."
Gao Feng glanced at Shi Kui and said, "General Shi, what do you think?"
Shi Kui, who was still wearing his armor, heard the words and said in a solemn voice: "General, I think what Fang Li said is very reasonable. You should be careful in everything."
Gao Feng pondered for a while and said: "In that case, I will give the order for the soldiers to have a good meal and rest early. They will go around the city early tomorrow morning and continue on their way."
As the camp gradually became quiet, the entire camp was silent except for the patrolling soldiers.
Shi Kui walked out of the camp dressed in military uniform, and Fang Li was with him.
Shi Kui glanced at Fang Li and said, "Fang Li, you are no better than a warrior like me. You have been patrolling with me almost every day these days. If you keep doing this, I'm afraid you won't be able to hold on."
Fang Li looked tired and shook his head: "Fang can only sleep peacefully after patrolling the rear with the general at night."
After listening to Fang Li's words, Shi Kui nodded slightly and said: "That's all, in that case, let's set off."
To be honest, Shi Kui didn't trust Gao Feng's soldiers very much, so these days, he, Fang Li, and Chu Fang followed Chu Yi's instructions and used their subordinates to personally protect the tens of millions of taels.
Pattern silver, and every time he camped, Shi Kui would inspect it to make sure everything was fine before resting.
The night fell, and the city of Tianjin looked like a ferocious beast lying on the ground. The originally closed city gate creaked and slowly opened, and then a group of soldiers and horses were seen coming out of the city gate like a torrent.
The first person is guard Lu Wende. Just by hearing his name, you can tell that he has a close relationship with Lu Wenyang. He is the brother of Lu Wenyang's compatriot.
Next to Lu Wende were several Qianhu officials, and then there was Li Ke sent by Lu Wenyang.
Lu Wende was riding on a tall horse, looking at the army behind him, and said with a bit of disdain: "Brother, it's true that you asked me to bring so many people. You must have overestimated the few people under Chu Yi's command.
"
Several other Qianhu officials were all Lu Wenyang and the die-hard confidants of the Lu Wende brothers. After hearing Lu Wende's words, they all had low eyebrows and no one answered.
Li Ke coughed lightly and said, "The Governor is also so cautious to ensure safety."
Lu Wende waved his hand and said: "Okay, okay, I listen to the elder brother. If you ask me, the elder brother is also true. He should have sent people to rob the Chu thieves of this piece of silver. That is tens of millions of taels of silver."
."
The movement of nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses made a lot of noise. Shi Kui, Fang Li and others who were on night patrol had already noticed it when they were still a few miles away from where Shi Kui, Gao Feng and the others were stationed.
Seeing the team that suddenly lit up torches and vaguely surrounded the entire camp like a long dragon, Shi Kui felt something bad in his heart.
Fang Li even exclaimed: "No, that old thief Lu Wenyang must have become greedy, and he took action anyway."
It can be said that what Shi Kui, Fang Li and the others are most worried about is Lu Wenyang's level. As long as they pass Lu Wenyang's level, they won't have to worry about anything else.
Entering the land of Gyeonggi, under the emperor's feet, even if there are some thieves, there will never be a large group of thieves. As for the thieves who dare to attack the army, it is even less likely to appear in the land of Gyeonggi.
Shi Kui took a deep breath and was about to speak when he saw a figure flash past, it was Chu Fang.
Chu Fang glanced at Shi Kui, and Fang Li glanced at them and said, "General Shi, Fang Li, what's going on? These people can't really be sent by Lu Wenyang, right?"
Fang Li smiled bitterly and said: "Other than Lu Wenyang, who can mobilize so many soldiers and horses at the gate of the capital? Is he a bandit?"
Chu Fang looked at the long dragon-like torch in the distance and frowned: "There is no way we can be our opponent."
Shi Kui looked at Fang Li and Chu Fang in a deep voice and said: "You two, Shi will stay and fight to the end. However, someone still needs to report what happened here to the governor, so I would like to ask you two to take advantage of it."
If the other party hasn't surrounded them yet, leave immediately."
Fang Li frowned and said, "Fang promised the governor to ensure the safety of these silver patterns. Now we have to fight to the end, otherwise we will have no face to see the governor."
Shi Kui stared at Chu Fang and said: "Eunuch, please send a message to the governor for Shi, saying that Shi is afraid that he can no longer follow the governor!"
Chu Fang looked at Shi Kui and said, "General Shi, are you really powerless?"
Shi Kui smiled bitterly and said: "It's not that Shi is not confident. If the soldiers under the senior manager are as elite as Shi's, even if there are tens of thousands of troops, Shi will not be afraid, but..."
Chu Fang nodded slightly and said, "We understand."
As he said this, Chu Fang took out a secret letter from his chest and said, "You two, the governor sent this to our family not long ago. You two might as well take a look."
Shi Kui and Fang Li couldn't help being stunned when they heard this. They took the secret letter and looked at it by the firelight. The contents on the secret letter were clearly visible.
But after seeing the contents of the secret letter, Shi Kui and Fang Li's faces were full of horror, and Shi Kui even exclaimed: "Is this really the governor's order, and not someone else's forgery?
"
On the contrary, Fang Li had a look of deep thought in his eyes after reading the secret letter. He vaguely grasped something, but for a moment he couldn't figure it out.
Chu Fang nodded and said: "This secret letter came through the channel of Dongchang, and it has the secret security of the governor. It can be confirmed that it was written by the governor himself."
Shi Kui said with a bit of unwillingness: "But just giving up tens of millions of taels of silver..."
At this moment, Fang Li looked at Shi Kui and said: "General Shi, this is the order of the governor, we and my subordinates just need to obey. Besides, the governor has seen thousands of miles, so since he expected such a thing to happen in advance
If such an arrangement is still made, then there must be the intention of the governor. If the general disobeys the order and ruins the plan of the governor, what crime should he be punished for?"
Chu Fang looked at Shi Kui and said: "What a person the Governor is, how can he be the one who suffered in vain? Perhaps as Fang Li said, the Governor has done this because he has his own plan."
Taking a deep breath, Shi Kui nodded and said, "That's all, since it's the governor's order, I will just obey it."
Soon Shi Kui and the others found Gao Feng and explained a few words briefly. Then Shi Kui gathered his elite men and walked away in the night before the encirclement was closed.
Although Lu Wende and others noticed that a small group of people had escaped, they did not take it seriously. What they were most concerned about was the tens of millions of taels of silver in the camp.
Gao Feng's men were in chaos when they suffered such an accident. Gao Feng left and they were leaderless. Lu Wende broke through the camp with little resistance.
There were horse-drawn carriages and extremely thick boxes. Every box opened at random was filled with white and silver patterns. Lu Wende smiled brightly just looking at it.
After drinking tea, Li Ke looked at Lu Wende with a look of surprise on his face and whispered: "General, there are a total of thirteen million taels of silver, and there is not a box missing. They are all here."
Lu Wende couldn't help laughing and said: "The Chu thieves' subordinates are just like this. They were frightened by the news and were captured by me without even a little resistance. I really think highly of the Chu thieves."
When Lu Wende returned to Tianjin City with the tens of millions of taels of silver he had seized, Lu Wenyang, who had been waiting in the mansion, couldn't help but his eyes lit up when he saw Lu Wende and Li Ke returning in military uniforms.
Before Lu Wenyang could speak, Lu Wende laughed at Lu Wenyang and said: "Brother, the younger brother lived up to his expectations and won the victory. He killed Gao Feng and others and was defeated. Thirteen million taels of silver, one tael a lot, were all shipped back.
In the city.”
Lu Wenyang stood up suddenly and said with a happy face: "Okay, with this sum of gold and silver, great things can be accomplished!"
His eyes swept over Lu Wende and Li Ke, and Lu Wenyang said slowly: "The governor wants to reward the army. He will raise troops today to clear the emperor's side, remove the eunuchs, and rescue your majesty from danger!"
"ah!"
Both Lu Wende and Li Ke were stunned when they heard Lu Wenyang's words, but they both reacted immediately.
Lu Wende said excitedly: "The emperor has no moral principles and favors eunuchs. Since they don't give our brothers a peaceful life, then they can't even think of a peaceful life."
On the other hand, although Li Ke was quite excited, he said calmly: "Tianjin is only a hundred miles away from the capital. With the help of the Grand Canal, we can reach the capital in one day. The capital's troops and horses have been abandoned for a long time, and they will never be able to stop me."
When the army, or even the Governor, comes to the city, someone will open the city gate. When the Governor enters the capital, he will be able to rebuild the world and re-establish the Emperor!"
Stroking his beard, after listening to Li Ke's words, although Lu Wenyang said that he had already made a decision in his heart, he still couldn't help but said with joy: "Sir, you really know my heart. Since the emperor cannot tolerate Lu, then Lu will find someone who can."
An emperor who can tolerate Lu."
Following Lu Wenyang's orders, all the soldiers and horses near Tianjin City were gathered by him. In addition to the more than 5,000 Zhang Yong's men who were carried away, there were a total of 30,000 people.
Zhang Yong never dreamed that in just one night, Lu Wenyang would make such a big move, and even he was captured by Lu Wenyang's men.
In the Lu Mansion, Zhang Yong saw Lu Wenyang again and said with a warm smile: "My lord, I have been waiting for you for a long time!"
Zhang Yong sneered and said, "Governor Lu is so brave. You are rebelling. Do you know that?"
Lu Wenyang chuckled and said: "This governor is just a side of the Qing Dynasty. How can there be any talk of rebellion?"
There is no difference between being a Qing emperor and rebelling, so Zhang Yong just sneered.
Lu Wenyang came closer and looked at Zhang Yong and said: "It's not that Lu wants to rebel. It's because the emperor is stupid and condones the eunuch Chu Yi. Lu doesn't want to sit back and wait for death. You might as well tell me, sir, if there are other things that Lu has done."
choose?"
Thinking of Lu Wenyang's situation, no matter what he did, other than raising an army to clear the emperor's side, he would be dead. If he fought hard, he would be dead, or he would rise to the top and dominate the world. If it were him, he might be like Lu Wenyang.
Bar.
Seeing the change in Zhang Yong's expression, Lu Wenyang raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said: "The manager has many connections in the capital, and he is also not tolerated by the emperor and Chu Yi. You and I might as well issue a proclamation and spread it throughout the world, and raise troops to clear the emperor's side.
The universe is right and the universe is right."
Zhang Yong took a deep breath and looked at Lu Wenyang, with a hint of intention deep in his eyes and said: "Not enough. You and I alone don't have such a great reputation at all. Even if we break through the capital, it will be difficult to stabilize the overall situation, unless..."
