254 Everyone is pretending

This New Year Festival is the most uncomfortable New Year Festival that King Fu has lived in his lifetime, because the rebels have hit Yiyang, which is less than 70 miles away from Luoyang.

He is scared!

Of course he knew what he had done over the years, and those thieves would definitely want to peel him off and cut him into pieces!

At this time, he finally found that it was a bit unreliable to bully people by relying on his identity. The rebels were not even afraid of the court. Can they be afraid of him as a vassal king in name only?

At this time, he finally understood the importance of his own strength. Although the court did not allow him to recruit private troops, he did not say that he could donate his money to recruit the garrison or even the village warrior to guard Luoyang City!

When the Secretary of the Ministry of War of Nanjing, Lu Weiqi, had just retired and returned home, he had learned about the pros and cons of the interests and asked him to pay the money quickly and ask local officials to recruit Tunwei and Township Warriors to guard Luoyang City, but he was just a shit.

Now that the rebels are about to hit Luoyang, what should I do?

He is willing to pay now, but where will he recruit Tunwei in the short time?

You know, Henan Prefecture is almost occupied by rebels, and many guards have become rebels!

In the end, the prefect and the magistrate in Luoyang City joined forces to recruit less than two thousand township heroes.

How can this little person stop the huge rebels?

In desperation, he could only desperately ask the court for help from his nephew Chongzhen.

Chongzhen didn't dare to watch his uncle die at the hands of a thief, wouldn't that be embarrassing?

However, the Ming army in the northwest was almost transferred to Sichuan by Yang Sichang, and there were no regular Ming army near Luoyang.

He could only order the left-ranking political officer Wang Yinchang to supervise the military and mobilize all the troops around Luoyang to defend the city.

What troops are there around Luoyang City now?

There is absolutely no regular Ming army. The only ones who can be transferred to defend the city are the new general Wang Shaoyu, the general Liu Jianyi and the garrison convened by Luo Tai.

They knew that they had preserved their strength and had been dealing with the bandits for nearly half a year, but they had no losses.

The left-ranking political sect king Yinchang had already guessed that these guys were either afraid of the enemy and timid in fighting, or they ran away when they saw the bandits, and they had never fought with them seriously, otherwise they would not have suffered any losses.

However, he had no choice but to have any other troops around Luoyang, so he could only transfer Wang Shaoyu, Liu Jianyi and Luo Tai's men to Luoyang.

Fortunately, Wang Shaoyu, Liu Jianyi and Luo Tai obeyed the orders. Just after the New Year, the three of them led their men to Luoyang.

At this time, more than 10,000 guards and two thousand towns in the city were guarded by tens of thousands of people. With the four or five feet high city walls in Luoyang City, it should be no problem to resist the attack of more than 100,000 bandits. After all, bandits are not an invincible hero.

Of course, it takes more than 10,000 troops to resist the attack of more than 100,000 bandits, soldiers need to use their lives. If they are afraid of the enemy and are afraid of fighting, no matter how high the city wall is, it is still fake.

As the saying goes, there must be a brave man under heavy rewards. After Wang Yinchang's persuasion, King Fu Zhu Changxun was finally ready to release some blood.

At noon the next day after Wang Shaoyu, Liu Jianyi and Luo Tai led their troops to Luoyang, he set up a banquet and ordered people to invite the three generals to the royal palace.

He believed that giving the banquet as his uncle was enough to give the three generals face, not to mention that he had prepared a "grace gift". The three of them should be grateful and lead their subordinates to defend the city desperately.

Don’t you know that he has already made people angry, and now they just want to deal with him!

At noon, the three generals arrived as soon as they were agreed. King Fu Zhu Changxun pretended to be respectful to the wise and humble men, personally welcomed the three of them into the guest hall, and asked the three of them to sit down with great wine. Then he stood up and raised his glass and said, "Thank you, the three generals for leading the army to help. Come, I wish you a cup."

Wang Shaoyu, Liu Jianyi and Luo Tai all looked flattered, stood up in a hurry, bowed and raised their glasses, thanked them repeatedly, and then sipped the wine in the glass.

Seeing this, Zhu Changxun couldn't help but feel proud.

Hehe, these three guys didn’t expect that I would be so polite and polite. Don’t worry, I will give you some sweetness.

He greeted him diligently, asked the three of them to taste the delicacies of the mountains and seas, then stood up and raised his glass and said, "The three generals led their troops to come, and I have worked hard all the way. I have ordered people to prepare a gift. I hope the three generals will work tirelessly to lead their troops to defend Luoyang and resist the bandits."

Wang Shaoyu, Liu Jianyi and Luo Tai were still flattered, and stood up in a hurry, bowed and raised their glasses, thanked them repeatedly, and then sipped the glass of the wine.

The so-called slim gift he said was not too thin. Wang Shaoyu was 5,000 taels of silver, Liu Jianyi and Luo Tai each had 3,000 taels. He believed that such a generous gift was enough to make the three of them gratefully lead the army to fight bravely.

Of course, it is not enough to just work hard for these three guys, and their soldiers have to work hard for the best.

He greeted him diligently, invited the three of them to eat a few bites of food, then stood up and raised his glass and said, "The so-called reward must be brave. In order to boost the morale of the army, I have also prepared ten thousand taels of silver to reward the soldiers who have been meritorious. The three generals can inform the entire army that after this battle, the soldiers who have made meritorious will be rewarded with great rewards."

Wang Shaoyu, Liu Jianyi and Luo Tai were still flattered, and stood up in a hurry, bowed and raised their glasses, thanked them repeatedly, and then sipped the glass of the wine.

The three of them were really respectful, and they looked like a military general should have in front of the vassal kings.

King Fu Zhu Changxun was also quite happy. He thought that his courtesy was enough to touch the three of them. These three guys should lead their troops to defend the city to the death.

Of course, he also remembered that he ordered someone to teach Wang Shaoyu a lesson a few years ago.

However, he thought that was a trivial matter.

My dignified uncle taught you a little general, what's wrong?

He didn't mention this during the meal. He didn't want Wang Shaoyu to be embarrassed and could not bear the weight.

As for what Wang Shaoyu would be angry and angry, and intended to take revenge on him, he never thought about it.

Just kidding, I am a vassal king, I am the emperor uncle, how dare you, a mere general, take revenge on me?

Don’t you know that Wang Shaoyu no longer wants to be the general of the court?

The reason why he pretended to be submissive was that he was completely numbing King Zhu Changxun of Fu.

In fact, everyone is pretending.

However, Wang Shaoyu and the others knew that King Fu Zhu Changxun was pretending, while King Fu Zhu Changxun did not know that Wang Shaoyu and the others were pretending.

After the banquet, King Fu Zhu Changxun pretended to be a polite person, personally sent the three of them out of the royal palace, and ordered people to put the silver given to the three of them on the carriage they rode when they came.

He thought that if such a heavy reward, these three guys would probably be inexplicably surprised.

Don’t you know that when the three of them opened the box in the carriage, they immediately looked disdainful.

If the boxes contained gold, they might be a little surprised. Just a few thousand taels of silver would be nothing!
