Chapter 16 Zhao Ci raised an army to kill Qin Jie and Nanye planned to conspire Jiaozhou (12)
Nanye believes that the four-five baht issued by Lingdi with anti-counterfeiting technology should be regarded as a progress in the history of coins. The complicated patterns on modern coins are not only for good-looking, but also for anti-counterfeiting and preventing man-made wear and tear.
If you only look at the fact that Lingdi minted four penny money instead of bad coins, it is objectively a good thing for the people. However, the rampant conquest of the Lingdi has made the poor people complain, and no matter how much new money is created, it cannot solve the fundamental problem of the people's lack of clothing and food, and can only satisfy the spiritual emperor's own selfish desires. Therefore, as soon as this relatively high-quality money goes on the market, not only no one is good, but they all say that this money omens chaos in the world. The people cursed one after another, "The capital will be broken, and the emperor will go down and scatter."
Nanye couldn't help but be stunned when he heard these market rumors, because he knew that these rumors would come true in a few years. The emergence of these rumors does not mean that everyone can predict the future. It only shows that the regime of the Eastern Han Dynasty has reached a precarious point. As long as they are not blind, they can see that the four directions are in chaos, and the people are also looking forward to the departure of the mediocre Ling Emperor.
Just after the first month, before the storm of the four money had subsided, news came from the south that Jiangxia Zhao Ci rebelled and killed Qin Jie, the governor of Nanyang.
Although Nanye was prepared for this matter, he didn't expect it to be so soon. Xi Zhicai and others didn't expect that Master Nanye's previous prediction would be so accurate, and they were more awed by Nanye.
There is a way that the opportunity will never come again. Nan Ye received the news and took the initiative to ask the Lingdi to lead the newly recruited soldiers south to calm down the chaos.
The Lingdi is worried about this matter. Now there are Northern Palace Boyu and Lingqiang in the west, and there are Xianbei Kouyou and the two states in the north, which can be said to be beacons everywhere. How can there be no reason for the spiritual emperor to take the initiative to ask Nan Ye? Nanye was ordered to go south quickly to quell the rebellion, and Wang Minfu, the assassin of Jingzhou.
To Nanye's surprise, Emperor Lingdi specially explained that if there is military information, there is no need to report to the general, just report directly to Zhao Zhong. Later, Nan Ye inquired about it and learned that Zhao Zhong had been promoted to riding general this year, which really made Nan Ye laugh and cry. He thought that the Ling Emperor was indeed a stupid king who did whatever he wanted and used an eunuch who could not lead the army to fight as a general.
After getting the Holy Oracle of the Spirit Emperor, Nan Ye immediately rushed to the Arsenal to gather for discussion. Xu Huang and Zhang Baiqi have nothing to say. They are all waiting for a big fight. Only the drama is silent.
Nan Ye asked, "What does Zhicai think is wrong with going south to calm the chaos this time?"
Xi Zhicai shook his head and said, "The mage has foreseen what happened today. We just need to follow the plan. It's just that I just heard the mage say that Zhao Zhong has become a riding general, and the mage is still under his command. Is there really such a thing?
Nan Ye nodded. He didn't take this matter seriously. Even if Zhao Zhong was nominally his immediate superior, he could not go out of the palace to lead the army and there was no threat to himself. Therefore, Nan Ye is not afraid that he will come to seize the military power and pick peaches.
When Xi Zhi saw Nan Ye, he nodded and said, "This seems to be a little strange..."
Zhang Bai rode aside and curled his lips and said, "What's wrong with this? It is clear that the faint king does not distinguish between virtuousness and stupidness and nepotism. Not to mention a bicycle-riding general, it is not surprising that one day he became a great general.
Xi Zhicai smiled and said, "If it's really your majesty's painstaking efforts**, I'm only worried that this is another ten-time service, the intention is to prevent the mage from intervening with the general, or use this to control the mage. Fortunately, the mage has decided to stay away from the court, otherwise their plan will really succeed.
Nan Ye broke out in a cold sweat when he heard the words. This kind of intrigue is not his own. Sometimes he is really tricked and still doesn't know it. Thinking about obeying the orders of Zhao Zhong's eunuch in the future, Nan Ye got goose bumps on the ground. So he hurriedly said, "It's better for us to send troops as soon as possible, win as soon as possible, and leave this place as soon as possible."
When Xi Zhi saw Nan Ye's two mustaches on his lips, he said, "We have a total of 3,000 troops..."
Nan Ye only listened to Xi Zhicai's words and said urgently, "Zhicai was wrong, right? Is it 13,000 people?
Xi Zhicai shook his head and said, "There are only 3,000 people, and Zhong is not wrong."
Nan Ye wondered, "When we went north to Montenegro last year, there were still 5,000 people. Why did we capture tens of thousands of people, but now there are fewer soldiers?"
Xi Zhicai explained: "At that time, the mage only operated the first line of Luoyang and Chang'an, but now the darts bureau is everywhere, and there are darts masters everywhere. Especially in the north, those barbarians did not know the mage's flag, so I transferred 5,000 elite soldiers to the head of the dart in charge of the north road, and the mage also knew it.
Xi Zhi just transferred troops to the north to prevent Xianbei from discussing with Nan Ye, but Nan Ye still felt that there should be only 3,000 people left, so he said, "Even if 5,000 elite soldiers are transferred to the north, should there be 15,000 horses for me?"
Xi Zhicai simply said, "There are still 5,000 scattered all over the country."
Nan Ye shouted, "Ten thousand horses!"
Xi Zhicai smiled and said, "Five thousand cities are built to excavate tunnels."
Nan Ye stood up and said, "There are still 5,000 people left!"
Xi Zhicai said, "A thousand are stationed in arsenals."
Nan Ye still struggled with a glimmer of hope when he heard this, "There are still four thousand people?"
Xi Zhicai laughed and said, "Didn't Guan Hai lead a thousand people to Ma Nan to be a vanguard officer early? The mage's army is only 3,000.
When Nan Ye heard this, he suddenly sat back in his chair. He never thought that the scale of the dart bureau was getting bigger and bigger, but he had fewer and fewer soldiers in his hands.
Looking at Nan Ye's somewhat decadent appearance, Xi Zhi persuaded: "Master, don't worry! The 3,000 people and horses we are all elite, and there are also the mage's personal guards. The heavenly soldiers of Baiqi are not included in it, and the soldiers and horses under the jurisdiction of Guan Hai are enough to calm the chaos. In addition, the division already has the right to recruit soldiers. In the future, as long as the mage can afford it, he will have as many soldiers as he needs.
Nan Ye is right to think about it. If he has the territory of Jiaozhou in the future, how many soldiers will it take? And soldiers are not expensive. How about millions of yellow scarves? What about millions of Montenegro? Isn't it all up to clean up? 3,000 people. Anyway, Zhao Ci is just an unknown junior. Even if he doesn't have himself, he can deal with Wang Min, the assassin of Jingzhou.
In the morning of the second day, Nan Ye said goodbye to Cai Yong and Cai Yan and led 3,000 elite soldiers, Xi Zhicai, Xu Huang and others to go south to calm the chaos. Everything in the arsenal was handed over to Su Shuang, Zhang Shiping and Wang Yi.
Everyone stayed all night. After arriving in Nanyang, they knew that Zhao Ci killed Qin Jie and looted and retreated to the old nest Jiangxia. So Nanye led troops through Xinye, Yiyang and other places to Jiangxia.
This time, Nanye launched three flags. In addition to the previous Western Avenue saint mage and Zhenyuan Dart Bureau dart flag, there is also a handsome flag of "Zhenyuan Zhonglang General South". With these three flags, it is enough to deter Xiaoxiao along the way. Whether it is an official or a bandit, no one dares to make trouble.
Zhenyuan Dart Bureau has already opened a business road to the south, so Nanye has people from the Dart Bureau to pick him up and occasionally escort the caravan on the way. The businessmen who came to the bodyguard heard that Master Nanye's soldiers and horses who asked for thieves were personally escorted them. They were all happy and paid for food to entertain the soldiers.
There are more people who want to visit Nanye. People have heard that Master Nanye is a living immortal. Of course, they will not miss this opportunity to meet him and be protected by the mage. With the opening of the commercial road, Nanye's deeds have become more and more widespread and strange. Before the battle, he broke the yellow scarf, Luoyang waved and killed living people, returned to spring to cure the plague, and sprinkled beans into a soldier to flatten Montenegro, all of which were made into stories and widely circulated.
Nanye also wanted to take the opportunity to see if there were any missing talents among these merchants, so he simply took Dianwei, Zhoucang, business travelers and the people along the way. With these two bodyguards, Nanye did not have to worry about accidents at all.
Although no special talents were found along the way, Nanye was also very interesting to listen to those business travelers talk about local customs and customs, and was not lonely along the way. And these business travelers and people who are going south also know that the mage is approachable and much closer to Nan Ye.
Nan Ye didn't find any talents in these business trips, but he found an acquaintance. If he didn't have the skills of star hunting and star display, I'm afraid he really can't find that Zhang Ning has become a man wandering in the business trip. It seems that this little girl is so bold that she is not even afraid to go to war. When he thought about the title of Zhang Ning's saint, he frowned. It was probably impossible to persuade the girl to go back.
