Chapter 348: Entering Datong


Chapter 348 Entering Datong For this history of King Yan Jingnan, Wang Ge before the crossing, I didn't know much, just because of the influence of some novels, film and television dramas, I roughly remember some stories and characters, I know that the final winner is Zhu Di, I know that there is Zhu Neng Zhang Yu among the heroes of Jingnan, I know that the process is not easy, and I am not favored by others, and finally win the danger after risk.But not much is known about the specific details.Before the Jingjing tribulation began, Wang Ge didn't want to do too many outrageous things, so as not to affect the historical trend, so that Zhu Di would not have a chance to cause an incident, or be strangled before the incident.But now that the Jing Tribulation has begun, then he doesn't have so many worries, just find a way to improve the strength of King Yan and help him win the battle.As for whether it will change history, I can't think about it so much.Otherwise, he might as well save up early and become a rich man.After successfully "persuading" the Jin king Zhu Jixi to raise troops to echo the queen of Yan, Wang Ge successfully rescued the acting king Zhu Gui who was under house arrest from Datong.Zhu Gui is also one of the nine kings of Zhu Yuanzhang, although he is only in his twenties, but in the twenty-sixth year of Hongwu, he has already led his troops to go out of the fortress with his brother Zhu Li, the king of Jin, to participate in the northern expedition.But he has a bit of martial arts, but his strategy is almost zero.Zhu Gui has a tyrannical temperament, and he has a few strengths, he likes to take a big copper hammer to beat people's heads, and whenever something goes wrong, he will hammer people out of anger.And he is extremely lustful, often kidnapping women into the palace on the street, and has a bad reputation in the fiefdom.To be honest, Emperor Jianwen cut his domain, which was something that made the people of the fiefdom happy.After Wang Ge released Zhu Gui, this thing began to look for his sledgehammer everywhere, and wanted to hammer people for revenge, but it took a lot of effort to persuade him.Datong is closer to the north than Shanxi, and is a real northern frontier, often facing the harassment of the Mengyuan Iron Cavalry.Zhu Gui returned to recklessness, but the combat power of the guards under his command was not bad, and the border troops under the jurisdiction of the Shanxi Xingdu Division were also elite and good at fighting.In their early years of the northern expedition, they were mostly under the command of Zhu Li, the king of the Jin Dynasty, although the military system of the Ming Dynasty was that the generals were not dedicated to the army, and the army was not a private general.But after many years of fighting under the command of the same person, military merits, rewards, etc. will be greatly affected by that person, and there will naturally be biases.It's like the generals of the guards, fortresses, and barriers in Beiping should be closer to and revere the king of Yan, and once the king of Yan has the advantage, he will immediately return to obedience.Although Zhu Li is deceased, the new Jin King Zhu Jixi does not have so much prestige in the army, but with the addition of the acting king, the influence is almost the same.In comparison, in Shanxi, Emperor Jianwen did not make too many targeted arrangements, and after the acting king was cut, he even directly put him under house arrest in the original fiefdom, so it can be seen that he really didn't take him too seriously - for Zhu Yunwen, the one who can really threaten his throne is King Yan alone.The rest is just in line with the policy of cutting feuds.After Song Junmao was killed, the Shanxi capital commanded Si Qunlong to be leaderless, and the guards near Taiyuan under his jurisdiction were held hostage and collected by the soldiers and horses of the King of Jin, and the others were basically immovable, waiting for the order of the imperial court.After Wang Ge took Datong, he was also controlled, and the commander was captured, and the commander was temporarily replaced by the commander of the Jin Dynasty, and the soldiers and horses of the guards under him were all under Wang Ge's arrangement, and they were still the people and horses of the acting king.Although it is to raise troops to confront the imperial court, it is nominally difficult for the Qing monarch and Yasukuni, and it is the three major Sai kings of Jin, Dai, and Yan who are acting at the same time, which is not so difficult to accept for the middle and low-level soldiers below.For some people, they see a good opportunity to get promoted and make a fortune and ascend to the sky in one step.The greatest merit in this world, in addition to the merit of the founding of the country, is the "merit from the dragon".Those who have eyes and brains are aware of who the real boss is.Therefore, Wang Ge can also gather a group of "cronies" and control the soldiers and horses of Datong to a certain extent.However, after all, he is not a real commander of the army, and he does not have an official identity, so there is no way to really lead the troops.He didn't plan to really lead the troops, but was going to go to Beiping by flickering the acting king, and let him take some of the elite guards under his command and the Datong soldiers and horses that had been recruited.When the time comes, the people left behind will naturally be better to govern and manage, and after Zhu Gui arrived in Beiping, with his means, it was almost no suspense to be rounded and flattened by his fourth brother, and those soldiers and horses were purely "blood transfusions" and supplements for King Yan.On the surface, the highest power in Datong is naturally the acting king who has regained his freedom, and then the main general of the soldiers and horses sent by the king of Jin.But in fact, whether it is Datong's soldiers and horses or King Jin's guards, they all know that Wang Ge is the one who really calls the shots behind.There were once two cronies of the acting king, who had a bad attitude towards Wang Ge, and even wanted to do it, but they were directly beheaded by Wang Ge, and then reported to the acting king that the two of them had fornicated with Emperor Jianwen to betray him.But everyone below knows that this young man who doesn't have a real job or title is a real ruthless character.Many of the defenders of Datong Mansion knew how the soldiers and horses of the King of Jin attacked the city effortlessly and bloodlessly - that is, Wang Ge and a team of men and horses lurked into the city in advance, first burned the Yamen of the Dusi and attracted attention, and then directly and quietly took the city gate, let the vanguard of the Jin King's army enter the city, and broke the palace of the king of Jin, and accurately found the king who was under house arrest.Before that, in the name of the acting king, hundreds of the deprived acting king's personal guards had been summoned to the city to respond.It seems that this city has long been infiltrated by him, and countless spies have been planted.Wang Ge naturally couldn't install countless spies in Datong City, in fact, his trip to Datong was so smooth, not only because of the first arrangements made by Liang Bowei and Sun Hong earlier, but also because of Shen Hong's relationship.This wealthy businessman in Shanxi also has a lot of connections in Datong City.But just as Wang Ge, Chen Wang and others were counting the treasury of Datong to see how many supplies they were going to transport to Beiping and Taiyuan, a personal guard came to report that the acting king had been assassinated.This news was taken aback by Wang Ge, he just said today that he would move the king and let him go to Beiping to support, if he was assassinated at this time, it would add a lot of variables.Fortunately, on the way to the palace, he received news that the acting king was not injured and that the assassin had been captured.When Wang Ge arrived, he happened to see the frightened acting king Zhu Gui holding a copper hammer in one hand and tearing off the face scarf of the petite assassin with the other.It was a woman, or rather a girl who looked no more than twelve or thirteen years old!
