Chapter 74: Silencing failed!
It is now the severe winter, and the Guanzhong Plain has been covered with snow, so Wang Shu's team entering Beijing is particularly conspicuous during its march.
More than a thousand guards officers and soldiers lazily held up their spears and escorted Wang Shu's carriage on the soft and slippery snow, walking as slowly as a row of penguins marching in the Antarctic.
Wang Shu's carriage was equally slow, and sometimes had to stop because the snow was too deep and wait for the officers and soldiers to clear the snow before they could move on.
Because the weather was very cold, no one wanted to talk much. The whole team seemed very quiet, with only the whistling north wind blowing.
Qianhu Fu, who was escorting Wang Shu to the capital, didn't realize that he would encounter any ruthless bandits that deserved vigilance in the hinterland. He just thought about how to take this opportunity to leave a good impression in front of Wang Shu, the Minister of Civil Affairs. You might as well get promoted or something like that.
But what Qianhu Fu did not expect was that two cavalrymen were galloping towards them in the heavy snow right behind and in front of him.
Looking down from the air, you can see two Tatar cavalry, like two sharp arrows, shuttling in the snowy field, and the splashing snowflakes formed a cloud of white smoke.
One of them is naturally a real Tatar cavalry.
The other one is a ruthless cavalry disguised as a Tatar.
But whatever.
This time, Fu Qianhu and Wang Shu and the others he escorted were in danger of escaping.
The rapid sound of horse hooves trampled countless mud into the white and flat snowy field, and each one of them showed his teeth like a jackal and howled like a jackal. The blade in his hand was cold and smelly, and the sneer dripping from his mouth It makes people feel more frightened like a ghost that penetrates people.
Fu Qianhu and his officers and soldiers heard the rapid sound of horse hooves, and even saw countless Tatars rushing toward them with their naked eyes.
These officers and soldiers instinctively clenched the spears in their hands, but before they could recover, sharp arrows were whizzing towards them. Dozens of officers and soldiers were hit by arrows and fell to the ground. The gurgling blood immediately dyed the white snow red. land.
Fu Qianhu was surprised. He had never expected to encounter such a large group of Tatars in the mainland. However, he still instinctively played his role as an officer. He drew his knife and shouted: "They are Tatars, protect them." Tsukasa! ”
However, Fu Qianhu's shouts were useless. Not to mention the infantry's inherent disadvantage when facing the cavalry, even his poorly trained guardsmen were no match for the Tatars and ruthless cavalry.
The thousand or so people immediately dispersed.
Hundreds of officers and soldiers who remained in place to follow Fu Qianhu's command were also killed by sharp arrows or wounded by the approaching Tatar cavalry.
Fu Qianhu himself was also shot to death by several arrows.
Daxia Shao followed Li Dongyang's orders and spared no one. In addition to Zhang Yu and other murderers who killed Emperor Hongzhi, there was also Wang Shu, who was about to become the Minister of Civil Affairs of the Ming Dynasty!
Therefore, Shao Daxia rode his horse over first and led a group of cavalry to kill all the injured officers and soldiers as well as everyone in the palace. Even those who ran a hundred steps away were chased and hacked to the ground!
Not long after, except for the carriage that Wang Shu was riding in, which was still parked in the middle of the team, all the officers and soldiers outside and the palace slaves were killed!
Shao Daxia himself also took off his mask, walked towards the carriage, and ordered: "Look according to the portrait to see if there is anyone you want! Especially Zhang Yu and Liu Wentai! There must be at least one Eunuch! ”
As he spoke, Daxia Shao walked up to the carriage and opened the curtain of the carriage.
He was still a little excited at this time, because the person he was about to kill was the top ten figure in the entire Ming Dynasty, the dignified Minister of the Imperial Staff!
Although he had killed countless people, being able to kill such a big official made him even more excited.
But what Shao Daxia didn't expect was that the moment he opened the curtain of the carriage, he saw only a coffin and a servant squatting beside the coffin and crying!
"Where is Wang Shu?"
When Shao Daxia was saying in surprise, the people under him also came over: "Tou, there is no one who is wanted by the higher ups. There is not a single eunuch here, they are all with eggs and tricks!"
Shao Daxia was even more shocked and hurriedly grabbed his subordinate in front of him: "What did you say!" This subordinate also replied with some trepidation: "I don't dare to lie, there is really no one the boss wants!"
< br>
"Fooled?"
Shao Daxia couldn't help but ask himself, but at this moment he heard the cry of the servant in the carriage, and couldn't help but catch the servant in front of him.
The servant hurriedly kowtowed: "Don't kill me, don't kill me!"
The hero Shao pointed his knife directly at the Wang servant: "Where is Wang Shu?"
The servant was still just begging for mercy.
"Where's Wang Shu? Answer me! Otherwise I'll kill you!" Shao Daxia yelled.
The servant quickly regained his senses and replied: "My master took a donkey and went to Beijing a few days ago! He said he wanted to visit the local officials and investigate."
"What's the matter with the coffin with a mouth?"
Shao Daxia asked.
"I don't dare to hide this from this hero. My master said that he will die in office if he doesn't come to Beijing this time. Coffins are expensive in Beijing, so I'll prepare one first!"
As soon as the servant finished speaking, the hero Shao chopped off his head angrily.
This Daxia Shao was indeed very angry. He did not expect that his plan would fail this time. Not only did he fail to complete the task of silencing him, he also did not even kill Wang Shu.
"Boss, why don't we chase him now? I'm afraid it's still too late," his subordinates couldn't help but suggest.
"It's too late! Looking for Wang Shu in this vast snowy field is like looking for a needle in a haystack. And now our actions will alarm the government sooner or later. Once the government notices, you and I will chase around with hundreds of horses and just robbed the official minister's ceremonial instrument. The stick will only lead to an encirclement and suppression by soldiers! The problem is, we still don’t know where Zhang Yu and others are now!”
Shao Daxia said very depressedly.
"Then what should we do now?" His subordinates couldn't help but ask.
In such cold climate conditions, it is extremely difficult for military operations. Once it fails, it means that all previous efforts have been wasted. It will only be more difficult to organize another attack, and it will be exhausted again and again.
What's more, this Daxia Shao is not someone like Li Dongyang who participated in the regicide. He just works for others to get money to eliminate disasters. He doesn't have much sense of crisis. Now that he has not completed the task, he doesn't want to continue pursuing it.
Of course, Ma Yongcheng, Wang Yangming and others are now fully prepared and are not afraid of Shao Daxia coming.
The great hero Shao only said: "Send someone back to tell Li Gefu that the silence was not successful! The others followed me to make a fortune. They have been working for these officials for so long in this cold weather. They can't do it in vain. Massacre the village for me and arrest us before the government discovers us." Kill one by one!”
When Shao Daxia said this, everyone under his command became excited. They all mounted their horses and rushed towards the village not far away. The quiet Guanzhong Plains once again heard the sound of rapid horse hoofbeats.
In the eighteenth year of Hongzhi, the people of Ming Dynasty in Guanzhong did not know that they were about to face a tragedy of massacre, and they were still preparing for their New Year peacefully.
