Bringing Military Supplies to Ming Dynasty - Chapter 1697
A silver note with a face value of 50000 Liang was pushed to Wu Ben, which also means that everything will be settled and there must be a result.
With a slight grin from the corner of his mouth, Wu Ben smiled, “fan Tongling, are you sending beggars? Fifty thousand Liang wants me to pretend to be deaf and blind?”
Without a direct refusal, Fan Zhong’s heart is a joy. He knows that the other party has spent a lot of money these days. He has made a rough statistics. There are about one million liang of silver. By contrast, the 50000 Liang is indeed a little less. But he didn’t want to take it. He really couldn’t take out too much. He sold some property given to him by Zhuqi town in exchange for the 50000 Liang. Fan Zhong, who didn’t have much money, knew that he had done something wrong, so he asked in a deliberative tone, “but I don’t know how much Deputy Wu Tong’s life needs. My commander can try his best to meet it. In the future, a part of the money and grain pulled out by the imperial court will be deducted for you every month. How about it?”
“Not so much.” Wu Ben made a voice and refused directly.
Are you kidding? Now the five-star army is about to arrive outside the city. Who knows how long Nanming can last? He still wants to pay back some money every month. It will take a long time.
At this time, although Wu Ben did not know the true identity of Mou mu, he already had a feeling. What he thought was that Grandpa Mou let himself command the Kyoto guard. He must want to negotiate terms with the five-star army on this ground. That is, he must firmly grasp the military power in his hand.
Wu Ben, who refused, continued: “if you want me to quit, take two million silver at one time. Otherwise, there is no need to talk.”
Two million is equal to half of the payment. In a sense, it’s too much, but it’s not much. It’s just that Fan Zhong is not rich. He’s just a military general. He’s not greedy for pay. Why do you have so much money?
Seeing that he could not talk, Fan Zhong showed his fierce eyes and asked Wu Ben, “is there really no room for maneuver?”
“In addition to paying the money directly, there’s no need to talk.” Wu Ben shook his head and said with a firm face.
“OK, OK, so no wonder I’m old.” Fan Zhong knew that there was no other choice at this stage, so he threw the wine glass to the ground with a bang. Then suddenly Lala’s footsteps sounded, and a hundred swordsmen and axes who had long been ambushed in the house rushed out from all directions and completely surrounded Wu Ben and his three people.
Seeing so many people gathered around, but there was no back hand arranged by father mu. Wu Ben changed his face and asked, “leader fan Tong, what do you want? I’m the deputy commander of Kyoto Wei ordered by the emperor. I didn’t make any mistakes. You can’t do this to me.”
“I’m sorry.” Fan Zhong didn’t want to continue the dispute. He thought he was wrong. But he didn’t want to lose his military power. For many generals, losing his military power means that he is not far from losing his life. “Do it, Wu Ben. Don’t blame me after you die. If you blame me, blame you for blocking my way.”
Fan Zhong ordered to do it. The 100 swordsmen and axes shouted and rushed forward. At this time, a voice sounded before them. “Oh, it’s really lively here, isn’t it?”
With the sound falling, Shen Nantang, who was under the command of the royal guards, appeared behind Fan Zhong with 300 royal guards.
“Royal guards?” Fan Zhong narrowed his eyes when he saw someone coming and said something bad. He knows that Wu Ben used to be a fellow of the royal guards. Now the appearance of the royal guards has to make him think more about whether to support him. What’s more, what he did today was a private act, which was watched by the royal guards. I’m afraid he won’t have his own good fruit in the future.
Such thoughts only flashed in his mind. With fan ZhongMeng shaking his head, he left this thought behind. This is not the time to think about this. We must kill Wu Ben first. As long as this person dies, there is no suitable commander of Kyoto Wei. If we want to see this face, the emperor will not kill him, but will make him commit crimes and meritorious deeds. So he had to kill Wu Ben first to save himself.
So, although the royal guards have come forward, Fan Zhong still doesn’t mean to stop. Instead, he continues to shout, “what are you waiting for? Don’t kill people.”
Fan Zhong would put all his eggs in one basket, which Shen Nantang didn’t expect. Seeing that the swordsmen ignored themselves and continued to rush towards the besieged Wu Ben, he shouted angrily, “little ones, Fan Zhong, this is going to rebel. Go up together and destroy them.”
Shen Nantang is really worried. This task was given to him by mu mu last night. He told him to protect Wu Ben’s safety. In fact, he came long ago. He never showed up. He was just waiting for a suitable opportunity. He wanted Fan Zhong to do it first, so he wouldn’t be afraid even if he stabbed the emperor. If a commander wants to kill the deputy commander without the emperor’s order, he can use all kinds of means by virtue of this royal guards.
I thought everything was under my control. Unexpectedly, Fan Zhong dared to kill in front of the royal guards. He was shocked. At the same time, he also took out Xiuchun knife and jumped directly on it.
Wu Ben also didn’t expect Fan Zhong to be so cruel. At ordinary times, the old man looks honest and honest. It seems that people really can’t just look at his appearance.
At this time, it was meaningless to say that. Seeing these swordsmen rush up, Wu Ben pulled out his waist knife and was ready to fight with all his strength. But at this time, two figures reacted faster than him. They already rushed out with a saber, one on the left and one on the right, protecting him on both sides, and blocking the coming knife and axe.
Wu Ben has never had a chance to see the strength of these two people. No one is unfavorable to him, and they have no place to play. Over time, he regarded them as monitoring their own existence. Until now, he knew that Grandpa Mou was right. Their skills were really high and terrible. They even blocked the charge of dozens of people with two people.
With the protection of the two, Wu Ben’s knife is more comfortable when dancing. At this time, the royal guards also killed from behind. Under the desperate efforts of Shen Nantang and others, more than 20 soldiers were cut down to the ground in a short time, and more than 30 people were injured.
The evolution of things completely surprised Fan Zhong. Originally, he thought he could kill Wu Ben. At that time, he would ask everyone to lay down their weapons and let the royal guards take him away. It would be fine. It never occurred to me that the two guards around Wu Ben were so skillful that they stopped his attack. Seeing that the royal guards rushed forward, he knew that the general trend was gone, and closed his eyes painfully.
In this battle, he not only mistakenly underestimated Wu Ben’s strength, but also ignored the other party’s back. It’s normal to have such a disastrous defeat.
The royal guards rushed forward and fought 100 with 300 people. It goes without saying the result. More than 60 of the 100 swordsmen and axes were killed, and more than 130 were injured.
“What should we do with these people?” Shen Nantang looked at the swordsmen held down by the royal guards and asked Wu Ben what he meant.
“I’ll deal with them. You royal guards don’t want to interfere. But Fan Zhong’s affairs still need to be solved by you.” Wu Ben didn’t mean to kill. It’s not his kindness, but he knows that although he has really received a lot in the past three months, many people in Kyoto guards are loyal to Fan Zhong. He wants to take you instead, not just kill a few people. In that way, even if someone returns, it is only superficial. He needs to overthrow those who support Fan Zhong mentally. He needs a great righteousness to become an orthodox leader.
“OK, let’s do our own things.” Shen Nantang nodded. Mu Mu gave instructions on how to deal with Fan Zhong as early as last night. Now he just needs to do it as required. “Come on, escort Fan Zhong to the inner room and gather all the family in the house. Remember, you can’t even let go of a live chicken.
……
A storm was strongly suppressed. But there are still many things happening in the follow-up.
For example, Wu Ben, who was wounded by more than 30 swordsmen and axes, didn’t kill any of them. Instead, one person gave them one hundred liang of silver and let them go. Of course, there are conditions. It’s like the news spread by Kyoto guards that these people let them go – Commander Fan Zhong was afraid of the five-star army and wanted to surrender to them, so he asked deputy commander Wu Ben to discuss the matter. When he couldn’t agree, he was afraid of losing Lu, he killed the machine, but the royal guards arrived in time, which brought fan Zhongsheng to the law.
Fan Zhong wanted to surrender and kill Wu Ben, and then he died first. This way of death was understood. For a time, Fan Zhong was not criticized by everyone, but everyone came to comfort him. Of course, he was also showing loyalty. Anyone can see that after Fan Zhong died, Wu Ben would be the leader of jingduwei.
At Zhuqi Town, the royal guards also made all the articles. After they threatened the whole fan family, Fan Zhong, who was already a prisoner, had to write several letters against Shen Nantang’s wishes.
The letter is written by the king of Wunan. The main idea is that Fan Zhong thinks that the Nanming army will be defeated in this war. He sees the situation clearly. He is willing to cooperate inside and outside to help the five-star army capture yingtianfu without bloodshed. It also says that if the king of Wunan had not shot at the civil castle in those years, he would have died. He has been grateful for yunyun all these years.
This letter is now in the hands of Zhu Qizhen. He is very angry and resentful. He didn’t expect that his most trusted guard general had never really been loyal. Thanks to him, he thought the other party was a big loyal minister.
