Xiaoguan Town, Jinshan Acropolis!

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, in order to prevent Japanese pirates from invading the hinterland of Jiangnan through river networks and waterways, a city was built in Xiaoguan (Xiaoguan) Town in the 19th year of Hongwu. Because it faced Jinshan Mountain in the sea, it was called "Jinshan Guard".

Jinshan Guard has seven thousand households under its jurisdiction, with more than 13,000 troops stationed in it. Its jurisdiction stretches from Baoshan and Chuansha in the east to Zhapu in the west, stretching for more than 300 miles.

In addition to building the acropolis, a series of sea defense forts were also built on the coastal beaches to maintain strict security. It became the most important defensive gateway in South Zhili and the main battlefield to resist Japanese pirates and defend the capital. It was dubbed "the first guard in Jiangnan".

At this moment, Jinshan Guard commander Hou Chengzhong was looking at the military report with a solemn expression, not knowing what to say.

The ancestors of the Lao Hou family said that "the founding military merits of the Ming Dynasty were hereditary and directly under the command of Jinshan Guard, because their family was an official", so they became a native of Jinshan Guard, and their reputation has been growing up to this day.

The remaining shadow of our ancestors is enough for future generations like them to eat for a lifetime.

Moreover, Jinshan Guard is not an ordinary guard house. The name of the No. 1 Guard in Jiangnan is placed here, and the old Hou family is considered to be extremely powerful.

Therefore, Hou Chengzhong looked at the "Fate of the King of Han" in front of him and really didn't know what to do.

Seeing his commander's face full of sadness, his fellow commander Wumen Dao couldn't help but speak.

"My lord, in my opinion, there is no need to get involved in this muddy water."

"The King of Han is just the King of Han, a mere prince. Why should he mobilize my Jinshan Guard?"

"What's more, the King of Han also asked us to blockade the Five Prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River. This is just a joke!"

"Without His Majesty's will and without orders from the Ministry of War, anyone who deploys troops privately is tantamount to treason!"

"This matter is too involved, and I, Jinshan Guard, cannot afford to interfere!"

As soon as Wumen Dao said these words, he instantly won the approval of the commanding Qianhu.

Are you kidding me?

Even if you, Zhu Gaoxu, are the King of Han, you can't give such blind orders, right?

Deploying troops to blockade the five Jiangnan prefectures without a dispatch order from the Ministry of War is tantamount to treason!

Once the court convicts someone, who can bear this responsibility?

Is it possible that you, the King of Han, are more powerful than the imperial court?

For a time, everyone was filled with righteous indignation and opposed the order of the King of Han Dynasty.

What's more, some even cursed directly without taking Zhu Gaoxu, the King of Han, seriously.

After all, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. What else can Han King Zhu Gaoxu do to them?

Hou Chengzhong didn't say anything when he saw this, he just watched quietly.

When everyone was happy with the scolding and gradually became quiet, he spoke in a deep voice.

"Do you think this is really just what Zhu Gaoxu, the King of Han, meant?"

Everyone was stunned when they heard this.

Hou Chengzhong changed his statement again.

"In other words, do you think Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu is a fool?"

Everyone was stunned and looked at each other.

Is Zhu Gaoxu, King of Han, a fool?

Any fool knows he is not!

Although the Prince of Han was usually a bit arrogant and domineering, his civil, military and military skills were recognized by His Majesty the Emperor.

Otherwise, the King of Han, Zhu Gaoxu, would not have become the crown prince’s rival for a time, and even once supervised the country’s governance!

No one can deny this!

So, why did Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han, do this?

"We are all well aware of Jiangnan's problems."

"It has made the people miserable, made the court poor, and made the gentry rich!"

"Originally, Jiangnan was a fertile land, a land of fish and rice, and an important financial and taxation area for the imperial court, but in recent years it has been unable to collect taxes. It was so poor that Xia Yuanji, the Minister of Household Affairs, personally came to Jiangnan to urge the collection of taxes and grains!"

"The imperial court tolerated it for a while, is it possible that it will continue to tolerate it? Our Emperor is not an indecisive person like Jianwen!"

Hou Chengzhong sighed, but in fact he had no choice at all.

Because this "Order of the King of Han" seems to come from the King of Han Zhu Gaoxu, but in fact it is backed by His Majesty the Emperor!

"Not long ago, the emperor just visited Peiping, and the King of Han set off for Jiangnan. He even brought the Tiance Guard and the Feixiong Guard with him. These are the Twelve Imperial Guards!"

"Tell me, Your Majesty, what does this mean?"

After hearing this, everyone fell silent immediately.

What's the meaning?

It's too obvious!

The one who really wants to deal with these gentry in Jiangnan is His Majesty the Emperor!

The King of Han, Zhu Gaoxu, is just trying to pull a tiger's skin and pull the flag, and he has the confidence to be arrogant and domineering!

Therefore, if you reject the King of Han's order now, you are actually violating the holy will!

This is also a sin that no one can bear!

When the emperor comes to reckon with it in the future, no one will get anything good to eat!

For a moment, everyone was a little frustrated.

"That's it!"

"My old Hou family is bathed in the emperor's favor. My ancestors followed the great ancestor and fought bloody battles, and only then did they gain the position of hereditary commander."

"Now that His Majesty the Emperor intends to launch troops in the south of the Yangtze River, we warriors can only follow the Emperor's steps closely to avoid being liquidated!"

"So I am ready to accept this order from the King of Han. What do you think?"

Hou Chengzhong stood up suddenly and shouted with great pride.

Everyone was silent for a moment when they saw this, and then responded one after another.

"What the Lord said is absolutely true!"

"I've long been unhappy with those gentry!"

"Follow the Lord of Han, UU read www.uukanshu.net and slaughter those gentry!"

Hou Chengzhong nodded and immediately ordered.

"Send an order to each thousand-household guard station under the command of Jinshan Guard to immediately mobilize the army to blockade the county seat!"

"No one is allowed to act without authorization before receiving military orders, and those who disobey orders will be severely punished!"

The first guard in the south of the Yangtze River, taking the order of the King of Han!

Following the order from the commander Hou Chengzhong, all the Jinshan Guard's major branches were dispatched immediately.

Songjiang Prefecture, Huzhou Prefecture, Jiaxing Prefecture, Hangzhou Prefecture...

The guards within the jurisdiction of the four prefectures did not hesitate and simply and roughly blocked the city gates, strictly prohibiting anyone from entering or exiting.

This move immediately caused an uproar. The four prefectures and county magistrates were so frightened that they mistakenly thought that these warriors were about to rebel.

Fortunately, they simply besieged the city and strictly prohibited anyone from entering or exiting, that's all.

At this moment, Prince Han was on his way to Songjiang Mansion and had no reaction after hearing the news.

He had already guessed that these guards would accept his king's orders.

The reason is very simple. In the guard system created by Taizu, the commanders of various guard posts in the world are all hereditary, and they are all the warriors and butchers who followed Emperor Taizu Gao to conquer the world!

Even if it has been passed down for two or three generations, a martial artist is a martial artist, and he always has a violent element in his heart!

Zhu Gaoxu, the prince of the Han Dynasty, now gave them a reasonable reason and excuse to make a big fuss and deal with the powerful gentry who thought highly of themselves. They were eager to make the trouble as big as possible!

Of course, Zhu Gaoxu himself also wanted to take this opportunity to eradicate the Jiangnan gentry.

These guys, who are drunk and lusty at heart, have no benefit to the country other than eating, drinking and having fun like worms!

But we can take advantage of this opportunity to find a bright future for the new students!
