Daming: I can’t kill such a greedy prince-in-law?

Chapter 367 Father-in-law, we are good brothers for life! (Please subscribe!!)

"Needless to say, Xu Da is the best general in the Ming Dynasty! And Ouyang Lun is the most troublesome." Wu Yi'er, the leader of the rebels and the king of Guangdong's pacifier, frowned.

"Brother, I understand that you are worried about Xu Da. I heard that Ouyang Lun is just a white-faced scholar. He rose to prominence by marrying a princess. He became a sect-breaking order. It is said that he has no real power at all. In my opinion This Ouyang Lun is just a showman!"

"We have driven away Li Shanchang. Zhu Yuanzhang sent his son-in-law. This is simply a blessing from heaven. If you ask me, we will immediately send troops to attack Guangzhou. Before Xu Da comes, we can capture Ouyang Lun first. With Ouyang With Lun in hand, we have the final say in these four southern provinces!"

Such words rang out in the camp, and other leaders, including the leader of the rebels and the king of Guangdong eradication Wu Yi'er, looked at the speaker one after another.

This person is none other than Xia San, the second leader of the rebels, Ganzhou, Jiangxi!

Xia San is from Ganzhou, Jiangxi Province. He is an out-and-out farmer. The government recruited him as a worker when building roads. Unfortunately, the project was stopped later and wages were stopped. The government also forcibly expropriated his family's land without giving him a cent. , to compensate their family for several pieces of wasteland, but the wages were not paid, and their fertile land was turned into wasteland. At that time, the government requisitioned grain, and Xia San, who was forced to have no way out, led the villagers to rebel!

Xia San rebelled and followers gathered, tens of thousands of them gathered in a short period of time!

Although he was later defeated many times by the imperial army, Xia Sanbing's idea of ​​​​running away and changing places to make a comeback has been ups and downs several times in a few months. Until now, he still has more than 50,000 troops and is merging with other rebels. After that, these 50,000 soldiers and horses firmly took the throne as the second leader of the rebels.

Precisely because Xia San was born as a farmer in Jiangxi, he didn't know Ouyang Lun very well.

Wu Yi'er, the leader of the rebels and the king of Guangdong, said speechlessly: "Brother Xia, this Ouyang Lun is not as weak as you think!"

They rebelled because they were dissatisfied with Li Shanchang's management and were forced to survive. They did not have many opinions on the Ming Dynasty. What's more, Zhu Yuanzhang transferred Li Shanchang away and sent Ouyang Lun, who was famous for his governance. They couldn't help but see new hope.

"He did it in Beizhili?" Xia San was dumbfounded.

The second leader, Xia San, loudly said: "Even if Ouyang Lun has the ability to run the four southern provinces well, that will happen in the future. We are rebelling now! Once caught by the government, they will be beheaded and the entire clan will be exterminated. No one will survive!" "

The second leader, Xia San, immediately shouted: "Why not? Zhu Yuanzhang was not just a weakling like us at the beginning. He can conquer the country, why can't we?"

"Although he is a white-faced scholar and married a princess and became a consort, his achievements today are entirely due to his step-by-step process. Have you heard of Beizhili?"

The third leader, Cao Zhen, said: "Chief Xia, what can we do if we don't surrender? Don't you think that we can really succeed in the rebellion and overthrow the Ming Dynasty?"

"Beijing Zhili is what it is today, all thanks to Ouyang Lun!" Wu Yi'er, the leader of the rebels and the king of Guangdong's eradication, said solemnly.

Several rebel leaders had solemn faces and twinkling eyes.

Xia San nodded, "Who doesn't know about Beizhili? I heard that every household in Beizhili has enough to eat, they all have their own fields, and wages are never in arrears. If it weren't for the difficulty of leaving my homeland, I would have gone to Beizhili in the first place." I'm working part-time."

"And I also heard that when Prince Consort Ouyang was the chief envoy in Beizhili, he treated the people below very well and really made the people live a good life!"

"Can't we still manage the four southern provinces well in this way? This Ouyang Lun is our "Liu Bowen"!"

If Ouyang Lun can make the four southern provinces like Beizhili, then why do they still rebel?

"You don't want to surrender, do you?"

"Chief Cao, I know you have received great kindness from Ouyang Lun, but don't let others grow up here and destroy our prestige. Don't forget that you are now the third leader of our rebels!" Xia San continued: "Zhu Yuanzhang How he did it, how we did it, is that he was not illiterate at the beginning, not much better than us, but he knew how to use people, Liu Bowen, Li Shanchang, Xu Da, Chang Yuchun. Without these people, how could Zhu Yuanzhang fight? The world!"

"But if the rebellion continues, it will probably be wiped out soon!"

At this time, Cao Zhen, the third leader of the Guangzhou rebels, also spoke: "I have the right to speak! When an epidemic broke out in Guangdong Province, the people were in dire straits and many people died. It was Ouyang Prince Consort who came to Guangdong Province to solve the epidemic and let Guangdong The people of the province have survived, and I am one of them!”

"Are you willing to do this?"

As soon as Cao Zhen said these words, the camp immediately fell silent.

"And Zhu Yuanzhang used many officials from the Yuan Dynasty, so can we! Don't you think that Ouyang Lun is powerful? Then we will invade Guangzhou Mansion, capture Ouyang Lun alive, and let him pay for our lives!"

"We rebelled before because there was no hope, but now Ouyang Prince Consort is here. I think that with his handling, the four southern provinces will soon recover, and our wages, stock money, land, and food will all be secure!"

Cao Zhen, the leader of the three leaders, sneered at Xia San's words, "Let's not talk about whether it is possible or not. Even if we can really conquer the country, so what? Just because we can manage such a huge country?"

"No, absolutely not!"

Ok? !

Wu Yi'er, Cao Zhen and other rebel leaders were all moved when they heard Xia San's seemingly rude but reasonable words.

"Big leader, we can now have more than 200,000 mercenaries, and a steady stream of people come to join us every day. Our strength is getting stronger and stronger. On the other hand, the imperial army has less than 200,000 people. Whoever loses this battle will win." Not necessarily!”

"Overthrow the Ming Dynasty and capture Ouyang Lun alive!"

Although Xia San was born as a farmer, his words were very provocative. Soon many leaders were persuaded by Xia San and agreed.

"Leader Xia is right! From ancient times to the present, those who rebel have a bad end, and so do we!"

"That's right, no matter how good Ouyang Lun is, he is still Zhu Yuanzhang's minister. He came to destroy us under Zhu Yuanzhang's order. What we have to do now is to catch him!"

"Ever since the day of the rebellion, I never thought that I could go back and continue to be a farmer! Do it!"

Listening to the words of the other leaders, they all want to fight to the death with the imperial court.

Wu Yi'er was also a little hesitant at this moment.

Cao Zhen continued: "Chiefs, I think we still need to have some trust in Ouyang Prince Consort. What if he can really keep us safe? What if he can really let us live the same life as the people of Beizhili? "

Xia San responded directly: "Cao Zhen, put away your childish ideas! In my opinion, Ouyang Lun and Li Shanchang are no different, it's just that Ouyang Lun is better at pretending, and Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't really care about our people. , Zhu Yuanzhang’s concern is always the empire of his old Zhu family!”

"If we give up resistance, we will be the ones beheaded at the execution ground tomorrow!"

Cao Zhen couldn't talk to Xia San, so he could only look at the big leader Wu Yi'er, "Big leader, what do you think? I listen to you."

Wu Yi'er was also in a dilemma at this moment. After thinking for a moment, he said: "Ouyang Lun has just arrived. Let's not make a decision in a hurry. We should continue to prepare for war. Let's see Ouyang Lun's methods first!"

Although Wu Yi'er's decision is a bit conservative, judging from the current situation, this is the safest measure.

After a fierce debate, the top rebels reached a consensus, but the attitudes of the middle and lower levels of the rebels were somewhat divided. The rebel soldiers also started talking after hearing that Ouyang Lun was appointed governor of the four provinces.

"Here comes Prince Consort Ouyang, we are saved!" "Yes, Prince Consort Ouyang is a good official. If Prince Consort Ouyang hadn't turned the tide, we probably wouldn't have many people alive in Guangdong Province!"

"Consort Ouyang is here, can we surrender?"

"What a waste of surrender! We are rebels now, and we will be beheaded if caught!"

"Master Ouyang is a bit cruel, he never kills people indiscriminately!"

"He will definitely not kill the people, but we are rebels now! We are rebelling now, and we are following the emperor's order to suppress the rebellion!"

"Maybe Ouyang Prince Consort is different from other adults?"

"Officials are all the same!"

As the news of Ouyang Lun's takeover of the four southern provinces spread, the rebels were no longer monolithic. Many people who wanted to follow the rebellion also gave up the idea of ​​rebellion and chose to wait and see.

The imperial army also chose to reorganize and make corrections on the spot because of the replacement of Shangguan, waiting for orders from the new Shangguan.

For a time, the rebels and the imperial army maintained a strange balance.

A few days later.

Xu Da also rushed to Guangzhou Mansion.

"Father-in-law."

"Ouyang!"

Weng and son-in-law had not seen each other for a long time, so they hugged each other and separated.

"It's been a while since I last saw you. You've gained a lot of weight! You're also a lot stronger." Xu Da looked Ouyang Lun up and down, then patted Ouyang Lun's arm and said.

"Father-in-law, you don't understand. I am called Happy Fat, but even if I am fat, I am still handsomer than you!" Ouyang Lun said with a smile.

"You are very happy. Princess Anqing gave birth to a big fat boy for you. You, Ouyang Lun, have a successor." Xu Da continued: "But what happened to your boy? Is it partial? Princess Anqing already has one, why? My daughter doesn’t have one? If you dare to say that it’s my daughter Miaoyun’s problem, I will destroy you right now!”

"Ahem, father-in-law, please rest assured. I have worked hard, but God doesn't give me face. This thing all depends on fate!" Ouyang Lun was helpless. He originally thought that his soul and body were completely integrated, and after Princess Anqing became pregnant, he also You can make Xu Miaoyun and Tang Miaomiao pregnant, but they will be slapped in the face!

"I have absolutely no favoritism! Treat everyone equally, ahem!"

In the end, he came to the conclusion that this may require "accumulation over time," which means that if someone else hits the target with one shot, he has to fire countless shots.

After all, he has been working on Princess Anqing for several years!

"Okay, as long as you are not biased." Xu Da was very satisfied with Ouyang Lun's answer.

"Father-in-law, let's discuss what to do next, shall we?" Ouyang Lun said with a smile.

Xu Da waved his hand, "There is no need for discussion. I have read the military reports here on the way here. I already know the situation in the four southern provinces. They are just rebels composed of some farmers. You can rest assured to govern them. Just leave the counterinsurgency to me, and I will kill anyone who dares to make you unhappy!"

"In that case, my son-in-law wishes his father-in-law a great victory and the complete suppression of the rebellion!"

"Easy to say, easy to say!"

"What a pity. I originally wanted to discuss it with my father-in-law while washing and massaging his feet. For this purpose, I also invited Xiaocui, my father-in-law's favorite technician in the past. I didn't expect that my father-in-law was so anxious to quell the rebellion. My son-in-law could only do it. Let Xiaocui go back."

When he heard Ouyang Lun's words, Xu Daben stopped turning around, then turned back and looked at Ouyang Lun expectantly, "Xian son-in-law, the female technician Xiaocui you just mentioned was the one who was here Technician No. 9 in the world of Peking?"

"Of course it's her. Mao Youde spent a lot of money to invite her to Guangdong. I didn't find out until I came here. I originally wanted to give my father-in-law a surprise, but now it seems that this surprise is no longer needed." Ouyang Lun was helpless. Spread your hands.

"It comes in handy!" Xu Da stepped forward and grabbed Ouyang Lun's hand, and said with a smile: "My good son-in-law, it suddenly occurred to me that the situation in the four southern provinces is complicated now, and we must not take action easily. I need to discuss it carefully with you and have full plans, preparations, and assurance!"

"Want to discuss?"

"Of course we have to discuss it!" Xu Da nodded solemnly.

"Okay, then father-in-law, come with me. Miss Xiaocui has been waiting for you!" Ouyang Lun said with a smile.

"Ouyang, you are really my good son-in-law! But you are not allowed to tell Miaoyun about this!" Xu Da warned.

"Don't worry! In front of Miaoyun, you and I are sons-in-law. Behind Miaoyun's back, we are brothers, good brothers. For life!!" Ouyang Lun patted his chest and said.

The corner of Xu Da's mouth twitched, but thinking that he was about to meet his favorite female technician Xiao Cui, Xu Da nodded decisively, "Yes! Good brothers. For life!!"

Foot washing is foot washing.

But there was no delay.

After careful discussion, Xu Da and Ouyang Lun set off the next day under the command of the counter-rebellion army.

The imperial army had a total of 200,000 people, but they were evenly distributed among the four southern provinces. Only 50,000 people gathered in Guangdong Province.

Mao Youfu was arranged by Ouyang Lun to sit in Guangzhou Prefecture and contact the other three provinces at the same time. All general matters were left to Mao Youfu to handle. If Mao Youfu was unable to make a decision, Mao Youfu would send someone to ask Ouyang Lun.

He Fengnian joined Ouyang Lun as a soldier.

"My Lord Governor, I heard that the rebel leader Wu Yi'er has absorbed the rebels from four provinces. Now there are more than 200,000 mercenaries. We only have 50,000 people now. We still take the initiative to fight. Isn't it a bit risky?"

He Fengnian said worriedly.

Without waiting for Ouyang Lun's answer, Xu Da said with a smile: "Although there are 200,000 rebels, in my opinion, Xu Da, they are just chickens and dogs. They can be pacified in a day and night!"
