Zhu Chuanzuo was thrown out of the carriage and rolled around like a dung ball. Although his experience was extremely tragic, perhaps due to the blessing of God and luck, he was neither stepped on nor bumped by the horses during the rolling process. to the big rocks.
In addition to eating a mouthful of dirt and grass, only the face and limbs were scratched, and a few drops of oily blood were left on the forehead. He only exchanged his life for the price of disfigurement. It was really a very cost-effective deal. matter.
"God damn Wang Pu! I love you so much!"
Zhu Chuanzuo had never experienced such humiliation and humiliation before. He howled like a wounded pig. He saw the chasing cavalry passing by quickly. Unlike the previous palace, no one paid attention to him at all, so he had to sit on the ground.
"Come to me! Kill Wang Pu, the dog thief! This rebel will die a good death!"
At the end of the team, I watched from a distance and saw Wang Pu still running away in front. I suddenly felt violent. Regardless of the pain in my body, I stood up unsteadily and started to curse. Although I couldn't beat him, I had to talk back to vent my anger. yes.
Zhu Chuanzuo was humiliated by Wang Pu these days. Not only was he kicked out of the palace, but his whole family had to be imprisoned in a separate courtyard. They were not even served meat for three meals a day, which made Zhu Chuanzuo furious.
The beautiful concubines in the mansion were also picked up by Wang Pu, either given to his son for fun, or given directly to his generals as gifts.
The gold, silver, jewelry, antique calligraphy and paintings accumulated over the years, as well as some land deeds, were all taken by Wang Pu as his own. These thieves were not only rebellious, but also extremely greedy.
Zhu Chuanzuo was extremely heartbroken when such a family's wealth, which amounted to at least a million taels, fell into Wang Pu's hands. If he could kill or even capture Wang Pu alive, he would have to return all of it.
No matter what happens in Datong City, as long as the surname is Zhu in this world, he will still be the acting king of his own vassal, and there will still be no difference in his family wealth.
The rogues and rebels have nothing to do with Zhu Chuanzuo. Suppression is a matter for the emperor and the court. As a vassal king, he should strictly abide by the ancestral system and enjoy himself behind closed doors.
"Ah... my beloved concubine!"
Just when Zhu Chuanzuo was still thinking about how to consolidate his family wealth, he suddenly let out a scream because he saw his favorite concubines being thrown off the carriage one after another, falling to the ground, rolling around, and some were even beaten by war horses. Trampled, the condition is very miserable.
In order to get rid of the pursuers and escape, Wang Pu did not care about the beauty. Even the beautiful women he had played with could only be used as roadblocks at this moment. As long as he could block the pursuers behind him, even if He would not hesitate to throw all these women away.
These women are nothing more than playthings for men's entertainment, and they are useless when they are on the road, they are just a complete burden. You can live happily if you keep them, but if there are too many, you can't take them all away, you have to cut back some.
Just like the not-so-pretty concubines of the king, they can be thrown out of the car. It is also good to save them from the disaster of war. They can make their own way out in the future, instead of living in the open with the army.
It's just that the way to ask them to get off is a bit simple and crude. No matter whether they want to or not, they have to get off, otherwise they will be kicked down one by one. Only when these burdens are removed can the carriage run as fast as flying.
"Wang Pu is a thief!"
It is possible to avoid one, but if the opponent drops dozens of them at once, the cavalry will not be able to react at all. At this time, the horses will fall to the ground on their own, and they may be trampled by their companions behind them. Absolutely not Do this.
They didn't even stop when such a noble King Dai was kicked out of the car, let alone others whose status was not as good as King Dai. Furthermore, who knows whether it is true or not that Wang Pu left to replace the king? If it is a fake, wouldn't it fall into the trap of a dog thief?
"Ah~!"
Many unlucky concubines were killed under the horse's hooves, and their beauty disappeared instantly. The pursuers who were running wildly could only curse this bastard for going too far, leaving the carriage and the beauties on it to them. It's also good. Pull it back and enjoy it slowly.
As long as the superiors dare to reward beauties, even the concubines of the king, these gangsters and fellows from the border army will dare to try their skills. Having been owed wages for so many years, not only are the people above me very hungry, but the people below are even more uncomfortable to death.
At the feet of the emperor in the capital, everyone did not dare to make mistakes under the strict management of the generals. Now that we're back in Datong, we don't have so many worries. Even if we can't rob the common people's women, don't the rebels still have many female dependents? Just the right time to vent.
Many of the soldiers who were attacking and pursuing the city had this idea in their minds, and they had been holding it in for several months. Even if it was a woman in her thirties or forties, they still had the urge to pounce on her. Now that there was money in their pockets, everyone's minds became active.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.
In addition to the tragedy ahead, Zhu Chuanzuo hurriedly ran over and saw a ragged woman whose hair was scattered and the silk ribbon she was wearing fell three feet away. Zhu Chuanzuo immediately bent down and held her in his arms, calling her affectionately. With.
But after shaking it gently for a few times, there was no response. When I touched my nostrils again, I couldn't feel the breath at all, and I was already dead. Zhu Chuanzuo couldn't care less about the dignity of the Ming Dynasty vassal king, so he couldn't help hugging the woman's body and burst into tears.
"Your Majesty..."
At this moment, a feeble and delicate call suddenly came from nearby. A concubine who had escaped from being trampled by horse hooves tried to get up with a struggle, but she tried for a long time without success. Seeing that the king was not far away, she shouted hard. .
"How are you, my dear concubine?"
Seeing that there was still a living concubine, Zhu Chuanzuo immediately dropped the body, stood up in a hurry, pulled up his hem, took three steps and two steps at a time, and ran in front of the concubine. He saw a pair of bright blue eyes that were still lively, and he was relieved.
"My concubine has work to do... Your Majesty is concerned..."
The concubines were always well-dressed and well-fed, and their bodies were even more frail. If they were thrown from the carriage, even if they survived, they would have lost half of their lives. It would be no exaggeration to say that they were severely injured.
"If my beloved concubine is well, I will be relieved!"
Seeing that the beauty in his arms was very polite and unwilling to let himself care, Zhu Chuanzuo was greatly moved and immediately shed tears of excitement. True love is seen in adversity, and being able to survive such a disaster shows that the fate is not shallow, and we must help each other in the future.
Of course, when we return to the palace, everything will be the same as before, and the young and beautiful concubines who should be included will still have to be accepted. This is another matter and cannot be compared. How can one have the demeanor of a Ming Dynasty vassal king if he does not accept a few concubines who are all-powerful to the country in a year?
There were quite a few concubines who could speak normally, but not many of them were safe and sound. Even if they survived, many beauties suffered broken bones and tendons from the fall and needed long-term care to recover. This also gave Zhu Chuanzuo an excellent reason to accept a concubine. .
"Here comes~! Quickly take me to the Chinese army's tent!"
Zhu Chuanzuo was not stupid enough to go back directly to his hometown. At this time, there was still a fierce fighting in the city. If he went back rashly, he might be accidentally injured and die.
It is better to have a good rest in the military tent, wait until the rebels in the city are cleared, then return home, and have a good communication with the commander who came to quell the rebellion.
Especially those soldiers who trampled their beloved concubines with their horses, ignored the king's laws and etiquette, and must all be beheaded to relieve Zhu Chuanzuo's resentment.
Hearing the shout of the feudal king, a general came with a dozen of his subordinates. When he saw the king, he looked like a lost guy. His face was covered with dirt and his dragon robe was in pieces. He couldn't help but laugh and ordered: "Come here, please get in the car on behalf of the king and his female family members, collect the nearby royal families, and send them back to the camp together!"
Zhu Chuanzuo was very angry when he saw that these soldiers had no respect for him. He wanted to rebuke him, but he was afraid that the other party would delay his trip and delay the diagnosis and treatment of his concubines, so he had to swallow his anger for the time being and wait until he entered the camp. Xingfaluo.
The soldiers found four abandoned carriages, searched around, and put all the royal family members Wang Pu had left behind on the carriages. Two carriages were used to pull the living people, and the remaining two were responsible for pulling the dead bodies. Fortunately, these people had just died. Soon, the stench will no longer emit.
These are all Li Chengdong's men, and military discipline is of no avail to them. Even the vassal king regards them as his trophies. As long as they have money, they have fighting power. If there is no money, then they will improvise.
Gao Jie is his immediate boss, and even though Li Chengdong has ambitions to get promoted and make a fortune, he will not leapfrog his rank to submit a confession at the moment. Therefore, Zhu Chuanzuo was not sent to the coach Yang Wenyue's tent, but was sent to Gao Jie's camp first.
"General Gao Jie pays homage to the King Qian Sui. If any of my subordinates have offended me, I hope that the King Qian Sui will remember that he and I are all vulgar people. Please bear with me!"
Gao Jie was promoted to commander-in-chief by the prince. Because of his outstanding military exploits in defending the capital, he also received a reward of five thousand taels of silver, so he was naturally in a good mood.
Following Yang Wenyue in the crusade against Wang Pu this time, he wanted to achieve something again, so that his colleagues would not dare to underestimate him. He also ordered the same for his subordinates Li Chengdong and Xu Dingguo.
Xu Dingguo has already led his troops to attack the city, and there is no battle report yet. Unexpectedly, Li Chengdong sent the king over in one fell swoop. He was really shrewd and capable.
"Hmph! That's all. General, please give me a ride and go to meet the commander. I wonder who the commander of the army is this time?"
If he didn't have to be escorted by others, Zhu Chuanzuo would have just walked away. With these arrogant bastards, he wouldn't even have the intention to rest.
"The prince is a thousand years old, and the commander of the army is Yang Wenyue, the governor of Xuanda!"
The promotion of Gao Jie to the rank of Commander-in-Chief was appointed by the Crown Prince, and the appointment of Yang Wenyue as the Governor of Xuanda was also appointed by the Crown Prince. Gao Jie had no objections to the appointment of personnel. He just focused on making more military exploits and did not need to worry about the rest.
"It turns out to be him, and I have heard a little bit about him!"
Zhu Chuanzuo had heard of Yang Wenyue. He had led troops to capture rogue bandits many times, and he had some skills.
"The general will personally escort Prince Chitose to the Chinese army's tent!"
Gao Jie and Dai Wang had nothing to talk about. It was a great achievement to be able to send the living Dai Wang to the coach.
Yang Wenyue's main tent was located in the military camp of Zhang Dechang, a related deputy general brought from Baoding. Next to it was the main camp of Yang Dezheng, who was also a deputy general in Baoding.
"I didn't know that Dai Wang Qian Sui condescended to come here. I really missed the welcome from afar. I hope Dai Wang Qian Sui will forgive me!"
Gao Jie had already reported to Yang Wenyue that King Dai was coming, so he waited for King Dai at the gate of the camp, but he still had to say polite words, and to give King Dai a face in public.
"Uh-huh!"
Zhu Chuanzuo agreed while sitting on the carriage without saying anything else. He didn't even get out of the car and went straight into the camp because he was too lazy to walk.
When Yang Wenyue saw that King Dai's carriage had entered the camp, he whispered to Gao Jie: "This is a good job. I will take note of it first. You can go back and command the battle. I will report the corresponding merits to His Highness the Crown Prince!"
Today, there is still fierce fighting in the city, and the generals from all walks of life still need to give orders to their troops. There is no need for Gao Jie to receive the acting king, so as not to say the wrong thing again. If there is any offense, it will be difficult to reconcile.
Gao Jie was overjoyed and tried hard to hide his excitement. He lowered his head and clasped his fists and saluted, "General, I would like to thank you for your support. I will definitely do my best!"
The acting king of Datong is a relative of His Majesty. He saved the acting king himself. As long as he reports it to the prince, he will definitely be rewarded.
King Dai and Wang Pu were two of Yang Wenyue's troubles. Now that Wang Pu had been defeated and fled, King Dai was in danger again. He was in a good mood: "Serious words! Strong words! We must order the soldiers not to rob property or have sex with Minnu after entering the city. Now, If anyone violates His Royal Highness’s edict, regardless of official position, he will be severely punished!”
Recovering Datong is one, and controlling various ministries is another. If the counter-rebellion army also takes the opportunity to enter the city and plunder, what is the difference between it and Wang Pu's rebels?
Gao Jie did not dare to be negligent. If he did not restrain himself, the unscrupulous men under his command would really be able to do this kind of thing: "The general will obey the orders of His Highness the Crown Prince and will return to the camp now to supervise his soldiers more closely!"
Li Chengdong and Xu Dingguo had been reminded before, but whether the order could be implemented was still a question. Gao Jie felt that the credit for rescuing King Dai could not be offset by his men entering the city to plunder, so he hurriedly said goodbye to Yang Wenyue.
The rescue of King Dai was a definite achievement. If the soldiers looted the people in the city and committed all kinds of evil, and His Royal Highness heard the news and became angry with him, and in the end the merits and demerits were equal, wouldn't he have to pay for it?
Instead of trying to make up for it, it is better to prepare for a rainy day. If someone really dares to ignore the order he issued, he does not need to wait for Yang Wenyue to send people to arrest and kill him. He will punish him first to avoid future troubles.
"My procrastination in acting has made the king wait for a long time. I am really ashamed of myself!"
When Yang Wenyue entered the tent, he saw King Dai standing with his hands behind his back. His face was very ugly. He was probably about to get angry, so he showed weakness first.
Dai Wang Laocheng solemnly said with a serious face: "Governor Yang, there is no need to say more. I know the priorities. The army has conquered Datong today. It is God's will. I am deeply gratified. Governor Yang naturally deserves the most credit. I will report the whole story to the prince." . It’s just that Gao Jie’s soldiers trampled on my concubine and children before. What kind of crime should I do?”
As long as Yang Wenyue is willing to punish Gao Jie, then the king can praise his great achievements in the report to the prince. This is the price of exchange.
Gao Jie is so rude, Zhu Chuanzuo will never let him go. As long as there is a chance, he will avenge his dead concubine and children.
"this……"
Yang Wenyue didn't receive the report, so he didn't know how to make a decision at the moment.
On the other hand, the eunuchs who accompanied the army around him helped him solve his problems. Compared with the mission he shouldered, having several concubines trampled to death was a trivial matter: "As a thousand-year-old king, you should go ahead and receive the order! No need to kneel!"
The eunuchs who accompany the army are not the previous eunuchs who supervise the army. They are only responsible for issuing imperial edicts on established targets and executing the contents stated in the edict. They will not interfere with Yang Wenyue's command and operations.
Zhu Chuanzuo did not expect that there would be an imperial edict for him, so he had to accept the edict first, and then forced Yang Wenyue to submit: "I, Zhu Chuanzuo, accept the edict!"
The eunuch who accompanied the army slowly opened the imperial edict and said in a measured tone: "The king Zhu Chuanzuo inherited the ancestral business and established Datong as a vassal. He should have been striving for self-improvement in order to repay the divine grace. However, he was unwilling to make progress and was greedy for pleasure. He consumed a huge amount of money and food and disturbed the people. , annexed the land, and countless people died unjustly. Today..."
Zhu Chuanzuo's head was buzzing just after hearing the first half of the content, but the second half didn't enter his mind at all.
After the eunuch accompanying the army recited the imperial edict, he asked the left and right people to come forward: "Please go back and rest on behalf of the king. We will set off tomorrow and take him to the capital to meet the emperor!"
