Chapter 54 Spring wind and rain
What Hao Zijian did not expect was that their whereabouts had been discovered by the mountain army and fell into their strict surveillance.
Zhu Youlang is not worried about his safety at all.
He expected that Hao Cunzhong did not dare and there was no need to mobilize the large army. If he wanted to slaughter the village, he could only be a small army.
If the mountain army with more than 50 people fails against a small group of troops, Jiao Lian will have to hit the wall.
What's more, he also has guards and shadow guards.
So, it seems dangerous, but it is actually as safe as a rock.
That's why he can sleep soundly with confidence.
On rainy days, sleeping days. The dark light, coupled with the hypnotic sound of wind and rain, can easily make people drowsy and unable to wake up.
It was originally sleepy, but fell into the eyes of others, but it made people feel that he was disregarding his safety, which made Chen Zhenhui, Dong Qiongying, Bai Xing, Zhu Jiahu and others who had been worried about him gradually calm down.
Zhu Youlang slept for more than two hours.
He opened his eyes and saw that the light in the room was bright. He listened carefully and the sound of rain outside stopped.
"No wonder I woke up. It turned out that the rain stopped." Zhu Youlang said intimately.
The "Bada" and "Bada" rain sound really have a hypnotic effect. He woke up several times in the middle, and was confused by this sound.
He himself suspected that if the rain kept falling, he might have been sleeping.
"Master, are you awake?" Dong Qiongying fell asleep on the edge of the kang. When she heard the sound, she quickly opened her eyes and found that the emperor was getting up, so she asked quickly.
"Well, I'm awake. It's such a good sleep." Zhu Youlang sat up, and Dong Qiongying quickly served him to put on his shoes and socks. He was afraid that he would catch a cold, so he put on a piece of clothing for him.
Hearing the movement, Chen Zhenhui hurried in.
"Dingsheng, what's going on?" Zhu Youlang asked.
"When I say that, as expected, there were a hundred people coming to Yueyang, all of whom were Yifu. Now Junshan is ambushing, General Jiao is already under close surveillance." Chen Zhenhui replied.
"Tsk, there are only one hundred people. Send a message to Ruiting. Wait until dark to solve them. Don't let them approach the village, so as not to panic in the people. Remember, don't let one escape, the leader will survive." Zhu Youlang said lightly.
"Yes." Chen Zhenhui agreed.
...
After nothing happened all night, the people of Zhuzhuang Village slept peacefully. They didn't know that they had escaped, nor did they know that there was a small-scale battle in Junshan.
The battle ended soon.
Hao Zijian and the others were ambushed by the mountain army. The mountain army had no steel guns at all. After shooting several people with crossbows, Jiao Lian took advantage of the situation and shouted, showing off the name of the mountain army. Hao Zijian led his men to put down their weapons and surrender obediently.
At the moment of surrender, Hao Zijian not only did not feel depressed, but felt glad.
The mountain army suddenly appeared, without thinking, it is certain that the emperor is nearby.
As Hao Cunzhong's guard, he naturally knew the reputation of the mountain army and also knew that the mountain army was protecting the army.
Finally, he no longer has to attack the unarmed people, nor has he had to worry about being plotted against by his godfather in the future, nor has he tortured by heavy guilt in his future days.
There are also one hundred of his subordinates who have this mentality.
These people were all confidants who followed Hao Cunzhong's battles in the south and north, fighting bloody battles and killing people, and their hearts were hardened. After surrendering to the Ming Dynasty, the army vigorously carried out training for loving the people, and they have been carrying out activities to love the people. The people's love for the army made them feel cold and violent, and gradually felt some kindness and warmth, and gradually accepted the concept of "the military and civilians are one family".
When accepting the order from Tucun, most of them resisted, but the military orders were as big as a mountain. What if they didn’t implement them?
Now that the operation has been discovered by the mountain army, they have happily accepted this reality.
The spring breeze turns into rain, moistening things silently.
If Aimin Education had not resolved the hostility of these soldiers who were born into thieves, the battle would not have ended so quickly, and it would have been possible that anyone would have become a fish that missed the net.
...
Hao Cunzhong was waiting for the dawn in anxiety. He was about to send someone out of the city to find Hao Zijian. The prefect Yuan Baoheng sent someone to inform him and asked him to lead officers over a thousand households to the west gate to welcome the emperor.
"Ah, the imperial edict arrived early in the morning? Isn't it a contempt? Why did it make a big fuss again?" Hao Cunzhong was shocked and wondered if it was his own incident.
"It's not that coincidental, right? I met the prefect Yuan to inquire about the situation later. No matter what, we welcome the emperor first and take a look." Hao Cunzhong was uneasy, but he was still lucky.
"Transfer the order, all battalions should speed up the camp affairs, clean up the military camp, and stay in the camp well. No orders are allowed to leave without leaving; officers above a thousand households will gather in the general's mansion." Hao Cunzhong ordered his personal soldiers to send orders.
When he led the officers to the west gate, Yuan Baoheng had already led officials from all over the yamen and gentry from Yueyang to wait.
After the two of them met, Hao Cunzhong invited Yuan Baoheng to the side and asked quietly: "Mr. Yuan, where is the Holy Lord now? Do you need to send troops to defend the enemy?"
Hao Cunzhong is from the second rank, and Yuan Baoheng is from the fourth rank. From the level, Hao Cunzhong is from the fourth rank, but the rules of the Ming Dynasty have always been that of literary nobles and martial arts. It is natural for Hao Cunzhong to call himself "the last general" in front of Yuan Baoheng.
"General Hao, according to the rumor, the imperial envoy said that the emperor had rested in Jianli County yesterday and set off for Yueyang early this morning. In addition, Chen Zhenhui and Lord Chen attached a letter saying that the emperor was very satisfied with Yueyang's military, political and civil affairs during his private visit and did not investigate bad things. In addition, there were many affairs in the court, so the emperor gave up his private visit and prepared to return to Beijing from Yueyang." Yuan Baoheng replied with a smile.
Of course he was happy. Although Chen Zhenhui said in the letter that the emperor was very satisfied with the military, government and civil affairs, he knew that the implementation of the new policy he presided over made the emperor satisfied.
When Hao Cunzhong heard this, he immediately put his heart in his stomach.
Yesterday, when I was in Jianli, the matter of Zijian could not be exposed; today, I went to Yueyang with great fanfare, and there would be many followers, and the affairs of Zhuzhuang Village would not be exposed.
"I hope Zijian will return to the city quickly and never let the emperor discover it." Hao Cunzhong wiped the sweat from his forehead and prayed in his heart.
"General Hao, it's so cool, why are you sweating?" Yuan Baoheng said strangely.
"Hi, after receiving the letter from the adult, I will be busy, both nervous and excited, so I feel sweaty." Hao Cunzhong explained with a smile.
"General Hao, let me tell you, I am also worried, I am afraid of being negligent and being punished by the emperor. You have seen the Holy Lord. You have also followed the Holy Lord to fight in the Tiger Stone Mountain. Can you tell me what the Holy Lord likes?" Yuan Baoheng said with deep emotion.
