Chapter 129 New Year's Eve
As night fell, under the leadership of the county lieutenant Yan Jiuping, more than a hundred fully armed yamen runners and guards quietly left the city gate under the cover of darkness and marched quickly towards Liuyun Village.
And all of this had already fallen into Dong Ling's eyes.
He immediately wrote a note to Jiang Sining and put it into the space.
"They are coming." Jiang Si Ning said to Si Chen An, "They will probably be here in an hour."
Today was the first time they faced the regular army, as well as a large number of guards from the Shangshu Mansion, so Si Chenan took it very seriously and was very careful, ambushing a team of 400 people on the route they had to pass in advance.
In order to fight this battle beautifully, he specially invited Jiang Sining to be his military advisor. He carefully considered every move and sought her advice.
Seeing how serious he was about the rebellion, Jiang Sining sighed in her heart, he was worthy of being the final boss in the original novel, his meticulous thoughts made her a little moved.
An hour later, the figures of the yamen runners appeared in the darkness and slowly entered the encirclement.
Si Chenan saw that the time was almost right, and asked softly, "Madam, can we take action now?"
Jiang Sining knew that she absolutely could not be soft-hearted at this time, so she nodded slightly. Then Si Chenan gave an order and the rebels who were lying in ambush around immediately swarmed out, and a fierce fight broke out on the narrow road.
The number of rebels was three times that of the enemy, and they had all undergone rigorous training by Jiang Sining and Dong Ling. In addition, their willingness to fight back against their unwillingness made the battle almost one-sided.
After just a few minutes, the sounds of fighting gradually subsided, and Si Chenan used his swift and fierce skills to kill the remaining yamen runners and guards.
When the battle situation here was determined, Jiang Sining immediately sent a message to Dong Ling, asking him to lead his men to quickly attack the county government office.
Magistrate Shen and Master Liu, who were still waiting for good news, were suddenly frightened out of their wits by the appearance of a massive army of rebels in front of them.
"What are you going to do? This county official is appointed by the imperial court!"
A trace of disdain appeared on Dong Ling's cold face: "We killed an official appointed by the imperial court!"
After saying this, he didn't give the two any chance and swung his knife to end their sinful lives.
As for the county magistrate's family members, Dong Ling asked them to get out of Gaochuan County immediately, and then began to check the supplies in the county government.
There was food that filled the entire warehouse, tens of thousands of taels of silver and banknotes, as well as fine fabrics, jewelry and exquisite porcelain that filled half a room. Dong Ling put them all into the space.
A small county magistrate who had been in Gaochuanji for only half a year had already plundered so much of the people's wealth. It deserves no pity that he should die.
A large number of banknotes and letters from the Minister of Revenue to him were also found in Mr. Liu's room.
Dong Ling took a quick look and could no longer remain calm. He asked his subordinates to occupy the county government office, and he rushed to meet up with Jiang Sining and Si Chenan as quickly as possible.
As soon as the battlefield was cleared, Dong Ling arrived, exhausted, and handed the letters he had found to the two of them.
After reading some of it, Si Chenan also frowned.
"My lady, I didn't expect that Minister Zeng actually had a rebellious heart. He asked Master Liu to stay in Gaochuanji to secretly train assassins and continuously send them to the capital. No wonder he can mobilize hundreds of troops at any time." Si Chen An paused and said, "The emperor is in danger."
Jiang Sining was not surprised at all.
Minister Zeng and his good daughter Zeng Junru, who is also the heroine of the original novel, had an affair with the Ninth Prince. When Si Chen'an's troops were at the gates of the city, they killed the Crown Prince and forced the old emperor to abdicate.
He even said that only the Ninth Prince could save the world, and if the Ninth Prince did not become emperor, the entire Da Xia would be usurped by Si Chenan.
It both expresses and establishes what belongs to it.
Jiang Sining didn't expect that the heroine, who had no space, would still usurp the throne according to the original plot. It can be seen that the fate of the people in the book will not change easily.
Just like Si Chenan, although she was very careful, she still ended up rebelling.
It seems that after Si Chen'an arrives in the capital, she will have to pay more attention to him and help him escape his destined fate.
Seeing that she didn't react, Si Chenan felt relieved.
Jiang Sining is now his mainstay. As long as she is there, he believes that all problems will be solved.
"Madam, what should we do now?" Si Chenan asked, "Should we follow the plan or go to Beijing as quickly as possible?"
Since many destinies cannot be changed, Jiang Sining is not in a hurry.
She didn't know the emperor or the prince, so she just died.
As for Zeng Junru and the Ninth Prince's rebellion, she believed that without the space, Zeng Junru would no longer have as much power and threat as in the original work.
"Don't be impatient, just follow the plan." Jiang Sining said, "But from now on, I will not act with you. I will only be responsible for preparing enough supplies for you."
"That's right." Si Chenan said, "Let me do the fighting and killing, and you just need to stay at home and be beautiful."
Jiang Sining: ...
Did the moon rise from the west today? This guy can actually say cheesy love words.
"Hurry up and go to the county government office." Jiang Sining said, "After you have dealt with the matter, remember to come back tomorrow for the New Year's Eve dinner."
"Okay lady, let's go."
Looking at the hurried backs of Si Chenan and the other man, Jiang Sining's heart was not so calm.
From today on, Si Chenan's rebellion officially begins, and she will definitely not be able to be as leisurely as before.
After returning home, she had no time to rest. She immediately contacted Qingyu and the other two and informed everyone that Si Chenan had already raised an army.
Upon hearing such a good thing, Qingyu and the other two couldn't contain themselves.
"Madam, I will be back immediately!" Qingyu said, "I have more than a thousand elite soldiers and generals under my command, and I also have enough war horses. I can take advantage of the heavy snow to pass through the barbarian territory and then meet up with the young master in the capital!"
"I'll come back too," Qiuhe said, "We've dug so much coal, it should be enough for a long time."
The most anxious person was of course Xia Shan. To be honest, asking him to go to Nanyang to do business was really like forcing a duck to grow a tree. He had no choice but to go there.
Now that the young master is starting a rebellion, he will definitely be at the forefront. He also dreams of becoming a founding general in the future.
As a result, all three people's proposals were rejected by Jiang Sining.
"What is the most important thing when marching and fighting?"
"Food and grass." Qingyu said.
"Now that the Great Summer snow has blocked the border, coupled with the autumn floods, almost the entire country is suffering from famine," Jiang Sining said, "So your most important task is to bring back more food, meat, and vegetables. This is a hundred times better than asking you to lead a few thousand people into battle."
The three of them naturally understood this truth, but they still felt a little regretful that they could not follow the young master and overthrow the dog emperor together.
"Don't worry," Jiang Sining said, "I will definitely let you come back before we reach the capital."
After saying this, Jiang Sining began to ask about their current situation one by one.
Xiahe is naturally the best. After Aunt Zhang and her group of more than 2,000 people went there, Xiashan became even more powerful and has expanded its business to most of Southeast Asia.
Food, fruits, and fish are delivered into the space continuously every day, and of course countless weapons are also semi-automatically manufactured on a small island.
Qingyu is a little worse. After all, there is a shortage of water in the Middle East and the population is relatively sparse.
Although there were many cattle and sheep produced, he still had to collect hundreds of them for slaughter every day, so under the guidance of Jiang Sining, he began to move towards the west.
There were enough war horses, armor and weapons provided by Xiahe, and even specially built vehicles for transporting supplies. Although Qingyu had only more than a thousand people, no one dared to mess with them wherever they went.
However, under Jiang Sining's strict requirements, Qingyu and his team did not use force against the local natives, but did business with them as fairly as possible.
Those local tribes were originally short of supplies, but Qingyu could get almost anything through the space, so wherever he went, people were afraid at first, but gradually they became warmly welcoming, and more beef and mutton were also sent into the space.
The most depressed person was naturally Qiu He.
Dealing with the coal mine every day and getting covered in dust and dirt made him, who was naturally lively and active, feel more uncomfortable than being locked up in a prison.
Every day he would sit in the house with a heated kang, drinking wine to keep warm and looking at the heavy snow outside through the cracks in the window, fantasizing about leaving this shabby place as soon as possible and building a career for the young master and his wife.
After arranging the follow-up work for the three people, it was already completely bright outside.
Jiang Sining didn't plan to sleep either.
Today is New Year's Eve, the first year she has celebrated since coming into this world, so naturally she wants to celebrate it with great enthusiasm.
