Chapter 281 The Throat Land

Yang Ling, He Bingwen, Liu Mausoleum and Xue Mao and his son were chatting and laughing. When they were having a good time, a "clang" sound suddenly sounded, and a huge man knocked open the door and stumbled in. The laughter in the room stopped immediately.

Sitting in Yang Ling's arms was a pretty woman with a petite figure, with her stage name "Xiang Piaoer". But no matter how delicate this "Xiang Piaoer" is, her warm and fragrant soft jade is more than 80 pounds. Since she threw herself into the arms of the young and handsome imperial envoy, she turned into a dog skin plaster, which stuck to him and couldn't even push it.

Yang Ling's thighs were numbed by the incense pendant, but he had some worries, and tonight he was clearly looking for fun with the snow cat in the wind and moon field, so he kept responding to the matter and endured himself. At this time, when he saw Liu Dabangchui, Yang Ling knew that the matter had come, so he took the opportunity to slam the table and shouted sternly: "I am drinking with several adults, who told you to break in?"

As he said that, he pushed Xiangzhuer's slender waist. Seeing that the imperial envoy was harsh, the girl seemed to have lost her temper, but she didn't dare to stop until she saw the good news. She quickly raised her pink buttocks and flashed to the side.

Liu Dabangcui would also make trouble, staring at a pair of green bean eyes and shouting: "Master, go and have a look, Xue... Xuemao's people are rebelling. Now there are people everywhere outside the city, yelling to kill Dashan and rob Fuzhou City, and the people in the city are in chaos."

"What?" Yang Ling stood up and glared at the snow cat. He Bingwen raised the table with a loud bang. With a big hand, he pulled the third young master of the snow cat over and strangled his throat. The prefect Liu ran to the door in panic, scattering his hands, screaming like an old hen: "Come here, come here, come here, take the rebels! Take the rebels!"

The guards outside the door rushed in, and Xuemao's personal guards rushed in, but they were few. They were surrounded by Yang Ling's people in a moment, and both sides were tense.

Xuemao panicked and said repeatedly: "Stop, everyone stop, this... this must be a misunderstanding. Without my order, they would never dare to attack the city?"

Yang Ling sneered and said sternly: "It's OK. Without your order, no one dares to attack the city. Then, now someone attacks the city, which is your instruction? Snow Cat, Snow Cat, it's really easy to change the country, but it's hard to change its nature. The court treats you well. I didn't expect that you are a wolfish ambition. You attack the city with a fake rebellion. What crime should you blame?"

"I'm wronged, sir, I don't know... I don't know what rumors they believed, so I did such a bastard. I've been by your side, so how could I let them commit crimes? I've... I've got to the city to stop the chaos. Please give me a chance!" Xuemao said with a sad face.

His heart had already sunk. He could become a overlord from a place where the bandits were intriguing, and how could Xuemao be a person with no brainstorm and no scheming? No matter how smart he is, he is just a pirate after all, and a man from the land of the world who has never seen even a little prefect before.

The emperor and the imperial edict are also sacred and unquestionable in the eyes of these thieves who regard the king's laws as bullshit. In fact, these people who are far away from the temple believe in the words of golden words more than the ministers in the court.

In addition, his fleet had traveled to Fuzhou several times, and Yang Ling treated him like his subordinates, never being wary of his ships. Even though the snow cat was treacherous and could not have any suspicion.

But now he had heard of pirates siege inexplicably. Xuemao immediately noticed something strange, but he was unwilling to think about the worst. He just hoped to quickly restrain his subordinates who had suddenly attacked the city for some reason. As long as Yang Ling did not give him a verbal tribute, he could save his life.

Yang Ling stared at him for a while, then waved his hand slightly, and the guards took a few steps with their swords.

Yang Ling nodded and said, "Okay, I will give you a chance. You and I will go to the cityside together. If you can order the rebels to put down their weapons and be under the supervision of the officers and soldiers, I will let you go for the time being. I will find out the truth after dawn. It is not in vain to one person, nor is it good to kill one. If the rebellion is true... Duke Wendao, you are unforgivable! The three nobles will be wronged, come and watch them."

People are the slaughter and I am the slaughter. What else can I say when I reach this point?

Snow cat agreed dejectedly, and ordered his guard to leave his sword and gun and tie his hands. His three sons were also taken care of. Just now, the guests on the pedestal had become prisoners in an instant.

The four famous prostitutes stared at the scene with their beautiful big eyes and looked at this scene in shock. Yang Ling turned his head, and the frost on his face immediately melted, and his face was full of spring breeze. He smiled and bowed to the girls and said, "The ladies are frightened. I want to go to the city to defeat the enemy immediately. Please come back, ladies, please. Before the truth is clear, please keep your mouth shut."

Several girls responded in a hurry, and Yang Ling hurried to the east city head with the snow cat. Four men holding plum blossom crossbows behind the snow cat were in an instant. If he dared to make any abnormal movement, blood would immediately splatter on the spot.

In Dongcheng, Fuzhou, the angry pirates shouted outside the city gate, but there were almost no equipment they could use to attack the city. Therefore, although the momentum was terrifying, most of them were shouting and roaring. If they really attacked, they would be helpless for a while.

However, the officers and soldiers on the top of the city did not dare to be careless. Teams of officers and soldiers looked solemn, and all kinds of guardians were transported to the attack site and patrols. The generals who were instructed to travel in a hurry and shuttled like fish.

Accompanied by Yang Ling, the snow cat climbed to the highest point of the city tower. For a moment, lanterns and torches lit up, illuminating the city tower as bright as daylight, becoming the biggest highlight of the night. If the atmosphere was not a bleak atmosphere, at first glance, it would be a stage for performing.

The protagonist of this drama, Yang Xiaosheng, was already in a long sleeve and said loudly on the stage: "Why did the rioters under the city attack the city and rebel? They all don't know how to live or die. I am Yang Ling here. You should immediately put down your swords and guns and surrender. I am Raoer! Xuemao, say!"

Two monks pushed the snow cat and appeared on the mouth of another city wall. Two plum blossom crossbows were on his waist and eyes. In order to enhance the effect, another monk picked up a lantern and raised it staggeringly above his head, illuminating the face that looked sickly and pale due to skin diseases.

There was a silence under the city. Then someone discovered the face of the ground that enhanced the lighting effect. It was indeed the snow cat. The two left and right monks stood on both sides of the disc wall, blocking the high place, leaving only the snow cat exposed in the marquee, which looked like he was standing there without restrictions.

Someone shouted loudly: "Look, look there, it's Mao Ye.... Bah! It's Xue Mao. He is indeed with the one named Yang."

The snow cat lay on the wall and saw the arrows on the wall and looked down. The city was bright and the city was dark. The torch could only see the figures, so how could he see clearly. He said anxiously: "Bastard, are you going to rebel? Who told you to run here? You have Sandsickness? Erdan, ask him to see me!"

A tall man under the city raised his hands to stop the riots of the thieves, and slowly walked forward a few steps forward: "I said, Master Mao, we don't say secret words in front of our wise people. Brothers have been living and dying with you for a long time. You have to put a clear word for us so that we can die even if we die. Are you colluding with the officers and soldiers and trying to kill us all in one go?"

"I'll do your mother!" Xuemao was so anxious that he was so angry that he was so angry that he was bleeding from his pupils. He knew it was Hu Da, the owner of the Sunkong Island, and then he raised his throat and cursed: "Hu Da understands you are a bitch, what is this place? What is this place? Do you want to kill the officials and rebel? Why do I want to kill you? You said that the officers and soldiers are going to deal with you, so what about them?"

He changed his voice and begged again: "Brother Hu, don't mess around, this must be.... Some people who are unwilling to surrender to the court deliberately spread rumors. Listen to me, listen to me, and immediately put down the sword and gun to express their feelings to Lord Yang. I, Wen, will not cheat you. I use the ancestral tablet of my Wen family to swear to you, and I will definitely guarantee your safety and will never harm you!"

"Bah!" Hu Daming learned that when Xuemao asked him to put down his weapons, he believed that he had bad intentions. Hu Daming sneered and retreated, pointing to the top of the city, saying, "Do you think your snowmao is smart in the world? Bah! We are blind, we are following you, a beast! Brothers, you all saw it. Xuemao wants us to put down our swords and guns and let the officers and soldiers deal with it. Do you agree?"

"Don't agree! Don't agree! Kill into the city! Kill all the officers and soldiers! Brothers. Go back!" The city was boiling.

He Bingwen climbed to the top of the city with his helmet and armor. He shouted loudly: "The East China Sea pirates pretended to accept the amnesty and attacked the city at night to rebel. The imperial envoy is kind to help him, but the thieves are stubborn and have a great crime. Kill!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom~~~~", flames gushed on the battlements, four cannons on the city tower, eight cannons on the left and right battlements were already ready. He Bingwen had a "kill" exit, and twenty cannons roared and fired together.

The cannon's chamber was filled with iron nails, lead balls and small stones. One shot was shot and the radius was within the range of lethality. Twenty cannons fell down under the underground city, and screamed and cursed everywhere.

Seeing this, Xuemao felt a tragic feeling: Is this row of cannons acting like hastily guarding against pirates to rebel? The fuck is that he has dug a pit and is waiting for my men to jump in! It's over, now it's all over.

Tens of thousands of pirates in the East China Sea were accepting the court's amnesty. This is known to everyone. No matter how vicious Yang beheaded, he would not dare to be unfavorable to them. But now his subordinates have been bewitched by anyone, and they have inexplicably believed that he and the court want to annihilate them.

Now they attacked Fuzhou City and gave people a knife. If they wanted to save their lives, they could only put down their swords and guns immediately and be supervised and interrogated by officers and soldiers. By then, Yang would never dare to put the six or seven thousand people under the city and tied them up. He would slaughter them in the name of rebellion.

But the truth is the truth, and the understanding is the understanding. How many people and the world do not do it so well even knowing the truth? It is said that now the thieves under the city suspect that they are colluding with the officers and soldiers. Even if they still believe in themselves, will they be willing to ask them to put down their swords and guns at this time?

I'm afraid that if they change positions, they will be at the city, and they will be like a horseback at this point, and they will never be able to turn back. At this moment, can they still trust the court? If they have already turned to the city and then surrendered, can they trust the court's pardon? Who has six or seven thousand soldiers in their hands, will they put down their swords and guns without resistance, and hand over their lives to the other party to bet?

The snow cat closed his eyes in pain: Yang Ling's plan was too simple and too sinister. It was so simple that when it happened, it could easily see through the situation, so insidious that it could clearly see through it. But there was no way to crack it.

It deeply grasps the weakness of human nature and the psychology of human beings, like a iron rope crossing the river, a big ship goes straight down, whether to die if it hits, jumping into the ship or die. You can see the danger, but you have to go on the verge of it according to his layout to seek the possibility of a glimmer of life. But is there still a chance?

The pirates fought together, and the sound of medium cannons in the forest in the north of the city started. Teams of officers and soldiers swearing in Shandong accents rushed out, and a dense rain of arrows appeared on the head. At the same time, officers and soldiers appeared on the right. Amid the sounds of "turtle sons", guns were like thunder. In the distance, six fire dragons came winding, which was the eight thousand officers and soldiers originally stationed on the east bank of the river arrived.

The army surrounded it. The vitality is gone!

Whether it is the pirates under the city or the snow cats on the city.

The snow cat watched with pain as his money was swallowed up by the officers and soldiers little by little, and his heart was like a knife. Yang Ling looked at him silently, and quietly turned around and walked to the other side with a sigh like an autumn wind blowing through the dead leaves.

Xuemao glanced at Yang Ling's movements from the corner of his eyes. Without thinking, he roared in despair, and suddenly his fingers were crooked like an eagle's claws. His feet bounced as light as a raccoon cat, and rushed towards Yang Ling.

"Puff puff puff" Two plum blossom crossbows, ten oily arrows all penetrated into his back. The snow cat staggered to the ground. He struggled to get up, his knees trembled for a moment before he stood up, staring at Yang Ling with his eyes bursting. He howled, "Submit Yang!"

Yang Ling paused for a moment. He did not turn around, but tightened his cloak and continued to walk forward along the city plate. On his side, a group of cannons spit out flames as he passed by, pouring down the city without mercy.

Xuemao looked at Yang Ling's back, and his eyes began to blur. There seemed to be a cloud of black fog floating in front of him. He Bingwen waved his hand coldly. A guard standing with a knife suddenly jumped over, and then he pulled his sword out of the sheath in the air. He shouted fiercely: "Snowmao planned to assassinate the imperial envoy, and planned to behave indiscriminately, and kill!"

The sword is windy and the sword is as bright as a wheel.

A sharp blade swept past the snow cat's neck, and a big and beautiful head flew into the air...

It was dawn and the Battle of Shuangyu was coming to an end. Ten thousand soldiers searched the two islands on both sides and the two islands, and found countless silk, tea, porcelain, spices and jewelry from Southeast Asia.

The sea dog was slandered in the melee and was inconvenient to walk. When he fled to the reef on the island, he was dragged back by the official army who rushed over like a dead dog.

Now, some officers and soldiers are searching for the island's scattered caves and hiding some pirates who are hiding back. More than a dozen ships of cargo and treasures have been transported by the sea, and now officers and soldiers are escorting many women and children on board.

Each ship was shipped back to some pirates. They were driven into the cabin of the dark land and could not see the light of day again after entering Fuzhou Port. A large number of pirates were concentrated on the empty and flat beach paved with bluestone, with archers and spearmen guarding them all around.

Han Wu and Peng Xiaoyang were commanding the ships to leave, and suddenly someone rushed to report: "Sir, two large ships appeared three miles away from the port south. Should people be sent to intercept them?"

Han Wu and Peng Xiaoyang were stunned. Han Wu asked first: "What kind of ship is it? Can you tell the way?"

The soldier said, "It's still far away and I can't see the way, but it's definitely not our Ming Dynasty warship?"

Peng Xiaoyang asked: "Is there no obvious sign on the ship?"

The soldier said, "Yes, there is a sea eagle pattern on the main sail."

Peng Xiaoyang laughed and waved his hand, "Don't stop them, let them enter the port, and then intercept their retreat. This is the merchant ship of Agui, a large smuggler in Su La. They didn't know that Shuangyu had fallen into our hands, so they were coming to transport goods."

The officers and soldiers hid their whereabouts as they said, and only after the two merchant ships entered the harbor appeared. As expected, the two merchant ships filled with various cargo were blocked. It was initially estimated that the goods of the two merchant ships were no less than 100,000 taels of silver. The two ships naturally changed their owners, and Han Wu sent troops to take goods to Fuzhou.

In the morning, as a fleet of sea dogs was escorted to Fuzhou by the Ming army, the smuggling merchant ships from North Korea, Japan, and South from Chameng and Java, were smuggled into the trap of less than 30, with a total cargo worth millions of taels. Han Wu then realized the scale of Shuangyu smuggling.

When the imperial court launched continuous suppression of Japanese and pirates, and frequent maritime wars, there were still so many merchant ships escaping trades through numerous obstacles. How large was the throughput of smuggling cargo on Shuangyu every day? He interrogated a pirate leader and obtained information at the peak. There were 200 cargo ships entering and leaving Shuangyu every day. Han Wu was shocked.

Han Wu wanted to take all the people on the island back to Fuzhou and burned them to all the houses and caves on the island. After hearing about this, he immediately changed his mind. He ordered the four thousand officers and soldiers on the island to remove their military uniforms and temporarily change them to pirate costumes, and were responsible for receiving information about Shuangyu and smuggling merchant ships. He and Peng Xiaoyang were not allowed to escort the last batch of pirates onto the warships until the dusk...

In the southeast victory, the news that pirates and Japanese pirates were almost wiped out was heard back to the capital. Emperor Zhengde was overjoyed when he heard this. He still lives in the leopard room and has completely regarded this place as his home.

Emperor Zhengde took the military information report and read it several times, slapped the table and laughed: "Yang Qing really does not disappoint me. The monsters and ghosts in the southeast were wiped out in vain. OK! OK! Haha, Old Liu, immediately send a message to all civil and military officials with the mansion, so that those gossiping fools will know."

"Old slave obeys the order." Liu Jin responded without a smile.

At this time, Liu Jin, Zhang Yong and Qiu Ju were serving Zhengde. Liu Jin took advantage of the time when Yang Ling left Beijing and had successfully extended his power tentacles to the outer court, making up for the power vacuum created after the removal of several old ministers from the state of the Par Kingdom in the court.

Foreign ministers and local vague elements defected to Liu Jin's disciples. Now Liu Jin is in charge of the inner court, and there are several powerful spokespersons in the outer court. His power is very popular, and he looks at the civil and military officials in the court. Except for Yangling, who are parading, no one in the court can match him, regardless of his qualifications, power, or the degree of favored by the emperor.

Zhang Yong, Dai Yi, Mou Bin and others deliberately showed their timidity and did not dare to swear their edge, which further encouraged Liu Jin's arrogance and arrogance. As for the three great scholars in the court, Jiao Fang was very treacherous and sloppy, according to his plan with Yang Ling. He now greeted Liu Jin with a slutty and kindness. He was nothing more than imitating Liu Jin's plan to set up political enemies on the pot and set up all officials to bake them.

However, Yang Ling noticed that Liu Jin was going to retreat as a step forward, criticized himself for being humiliated, and finally promoted power and gave up profits, resolving this move. And what about Liu Jin? Is he willing to be lonely or willing to give up power?

The other two great masters are not Liu Jin's opponents in politics now. Li Dongyang is obscure and knows how to get along with others. Even though he has disagreements with Liu Jin's political views, he never refuses in person and disregards his face, but discusses with others in private.

Fortunately, most of the discussions between the two were state affairs, and Li Dongyang was not a stumbling block for Liu Jin in political power, so Liu Jin gave him face and most of his opposition to him were acceptable, so the two seemed to get along well on the surface.

As for Yang Tinghe, he was young and energetic and looked down on the eunuch. He gave Liu Jin several unhappiness in court, but since then, most of the memorials he submitted to the imperial court were detained and rejected, and discussed again.

The war in Jiangnan was tense and there was no definite news to come back to Beijing. Liu Jin took advantage of Zhengde's anxiety and irritability and handed over the memorial of Yang Tinghe's disaster and famine, demanding rice and money, and then he made a few cold words to provoke him. Finally, Zhengde was furious and called Yang Tinghe to scold him. Only then did Yang Tinghe realize Liu Jin's insidious and vindictive personality, and he also calmed down a lot.

The silence of the three great scholars became a kind of indulgence. As Liu Jin continued to arrange his confidants and attacked the old ministers, the political team left behind by the Hongzhi Dynasty, after experiencing repeated confrontations with Yang Ling and repeated losses, was constantly attacked by Liu Jin in secret, and his power became increasingly withered. He no longer had the grand occasion of the past when he raised his arms and shouted and responded.

Liu Jin smiled and said, "To be honest, it's not that the emperor is keen on people, and he is willing to pay attention to the court's expenses. Regardless of manpower and financial resources, he will do his best to support the Southeast to suppress the enemy. Only then can he achieve such a victory. The emperor is the first contribution to pacifying the Southeast!"

Qiu Ju saw that Liu Jin was powerful and had completely turned to his side. He heard this and hurriedly slandered and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, since the Hongwu period, the Japanese pirates have been coming to our Ming Dynasty to make trouble. For this matter, the Ming Dynasty has issued a special order to severely scold the King of Japan. After a hundred years of planning, the Japanese pirates have never stopped, but now they have suffered a great loss in your hands."

Liu Jin suddenly knelt down on the ground: "This kind of disaster has caused Jingqing for a hundred years. It is really a great joy for our dynasty. The emperor's great martial arts. I congratulate my emperor on my behalf and congratulate me on my emperor. According to my opinion, the emperor should perform the ceremony of the temple and comfort the spirit of the previous emperor in heaven. Then I will issue an order to execute the thief leader Lingchi who was captured alive to show his power to the Ming Dynasty..."

Zhengde couldn't stop talking happily and said repeatedly: "It's reasonable to speak, and it's reasonable to speak, so good news. It's a great thing to comfort the old emperor. Hahaha, leave this matter to you. Go to the Hanlin Academy to choose a good article, write a tribute, and notify the Imperial Heaven Supervisor to choose a good day, and I want to burn incense and tell the heaven to tell the heaven!"

Liu Jin kowtowed happily and said, "Old slave obeys the order." At this moment, a small yellow gate hurried in and bowed to Zhengde and said, "Emperor, the king of Mantaga Su Duan's mother asked for a visit."

Zhengde frowned and said, "Why is that fat old man here again? Is it annoying to go eight times a day?"

Zhang Yong smiled and said, "Emperor, Su Duan's mother lost his country. No wonder he was anxious. Lord Yang was calm until the southeastern provinces were basically pacified. Then he reported the victory to the emperor. However, the official army of the six southeastern provinces defeated the Japanese pirates, and the news that the navy's ships and cannons were strong before this came to Beijing. King Mansaka heard it. Naturally, he was moved. If he wanted to restore the country, he had to rely on you, the emperor."

Zhengde's expression cleared a little and said with a smile: "He is my subordinate. He was bullied by a few red-haired pirates running from the sky. I naturally want to support him, but he was too anxious. How can I not be upset if I chat too much? Hahaha, let's just ask him to come in."
To be continued...
