Chongzhen Wiretapping System

Chapter 247 The situation is very good

When everyone saw him, they couldn't help looking at him in surprise, among them, Wang Liuhui asked quickly: "Wang Gui, what are you doing?"

Wang Gui ignored him, but looked at Liu Guoneng, and said sincerely: "Brother, Zuo Liangyu gave me 500 taels of silver before, and promised me to be his personal guard in the future, and he will promote me, let me... I……"

Speaking of which, he seemed a bit embarrassed to speak.But he didn't need to continue talking, the others immediately understood what was going to happen next.

Immediately, Wang Liuhui and the others became angry and surrounded them. When they were about to shout angrily, they were stopped by Liu Guoneng.He knelt down, forced Wang Gui to stand up and said, "Since you can confess, then we are still brothers!"

Having said that, he turned his head to look at the others, and said with a serious face: "Have you heard that too, we will still be brothers in life and death in the future, do you understand?"

Wang Gui lowered his head in shame, but Wang Liuhui and the others still seemed to be disgusted with their anger. Liu Guoneng became angry and said to Wang Liuhui and others: "Who didn't do anything wrong? You, or you? We did it before. How many years have you been a thief, do you have a clear conscience? Now that Wang Gui has taken the initiative to be honest, he is still a good brother! Did you hear that?"

Hearing this, Wang Liuhui and others recalled their experiences, and the anger on their faces finally subsided. After Liu Guoneng shouted again, they finally stepped forward one by one, and according to Liu Guoneng's request, stretched out a hand and folded it on the Together, they said in unison: "Brothers of life and death, never leave!"

Liu Guoneng patted everyone on the shoulder again, and then rushed to Xiangyang with Wang Gui.

Obviously, Zuo Liangyu didn't seem to care at all whether Liu Guoneng had a different intention on the surface, and even behaved like this in front of his son.However, in fact, he kept his hand secretly.Those who can get ahead in the late Ming Dynasty are indeed old and cunning enough.

Early the next morning, in Xiangyang City, Chen Qiyu just woke up, and when he was washing up, he couldn't help asking the guard who brought the water, "Is there any news from Zuo Liangyu?"

"Not yet, the person I sent has never come back!"

Chen Qiyu frowned when he heard this, it has been several days, Zuo Liangyu has been unable to come back because of his illness.Looking at it now, it should be certain, he must have guessed something, and he will definitely not come to Xiangyang Mansion.At least until it is clear that he is safe, it is impossible for him to come!

Thinking of this, Chen Qiyu couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.The emperor gave a secret decree, which was to kill Zuo Liangyu to sacrifice the flag, showing the court's attitude: the court would never allow people like Zuo Liangyu to harm the people like thieves.

However, the first fire that my new official took office got stuck and didn't burn!
Since the dark is not enough, it can only be bright!
After making this decision, Chen Qiyu immediately sent an order to let the general soldiers who had arrived from all walks of life come to the Governor's Mansion for a military meeting.

The commanders of the two brave guard battalions in Xiangyang are Huang Degong and Zhou Yuji, and there are several commanders and deputy generals in the surrounding area.Of course, under the emperor's order, Liu Yue, a hundred households of Jinyiwei, was also listening.

As soon as the military discussion began, Chen Qiyu announced the will of Emperor Chongzhen, emphasizing the military discipline of the imperial court and the army, and wanted to arrest Zuo Liangyu and bring him to justice.As far as the current situation is concerned, he also said something, and began to deploy troops, taking advantage of Zuo Liangyu's still pretending to be sick, he used force unexpectedly and took him down in one fell swoop.

Upon hearing this, the generals below couldn't help but feel a little scared.

In fact, they were also a little unclean, but this time, the emperor ignored them, and wanted to use Zuo Liangyu to kill chickens and scare monkeys!Even though Zuo Liangyu's troops were the strongest among these people, the emperor did not hesitate and made this order.

It can be seen from this that, as before, if you think that the court will rely on you to encircle and suppress the bandits, you will not do anything to the generals who hold military power. This is absolutely impossible in the future.Even a powerful general like Zuo Liangyu was arrested as soon as he said it, so who would dare to mess around again?

And Huang Degong and Zhou Yuji, as the commander-in-chief of the Yongwei Battalion, were originally the most disciplined in the army at the end of the Ming Dynasty, so naturally they looked down on those who harmed the common people.Therefore, the two of them immediately took orders loudly. This time, the Yongwei Battalion was also the main force to arrest Zuo Liangyu.

Chen Qiyu is very familiar with the matter of marching and fighting, and quickly drew up a plan. Just when he was about to order them to move, he saw a personal guard rushing in, clasped his fists and said: "My lord, there is a secret report!"

After finishing speaking, Chen Qiyu nodded, so he immediately stepped forward and whispered something in Chen Qiyu's ear.

All the generals below, including Huang Degong and Zhou Yuji, were a little surprised. They stared at the Governor's expression. They found that Chen Qiyu's expression also changed, and it seemed that it was bad news.

As soon as the personal guard finished speaking, Chen Qiyu immediately stood up, and hurriedly ordered: "Bring it to the back hall, and I will ask you personally."

After finishing speaking, he turned around to leave, but just as he turned around, he seemed to think of something, then turned back and said to Liu Yue: "Liu Baihu, come and listen to me too!"

When Liu Yue heard this, he was not polite, suppressed his curiosity, and followed Chen Qiyu to the back hall.

Seeing this, Huang Degong and Zhou Yuji glanced at each other, did not speak, but stood like a clay bodhisattva.Although the other generals were curious, seeing the two of them like this, they had no choice but to hold back their curiosity and wait for the governor to come back.

After a while, in the back hall, Chen Qiyu saw the man who was hurriedly brought in by his personal guards. Without waiting for him to speak, he hurriedly asked: "Are you Liu Guoneng under Zuo Liangyu's command?"

Speaking of which, Liu Guoneng is not very famous among the thieves.There were so many thieves with various names, and Chuang Ting Tian was not necessarily prominent. Therefore, Chen Qiyu had no impression of Liu Guoneng.

Liu Guoneng didn't care to wipe off the sweat on his head, and immediately replied with cupped fists: "Return to the governor, he is the last general, and there is an urgent military report."

At this time, what Chen Qiyu lacked the most was understanding of Zuo Liangyu, so when he heard from his personal guards that Liu Guoneng, the garrison under Zuo Liangyu's command, came to say that there was an urgent military report, he immediately put down the military discussion and came over.

Liu Guoneng didn't talk about conditions, and he didn't talk nonsense at all. He told Zuo Liangyu's guess, sending him to the bandit army, and then sending him to go again, all in detail.

At the beginning, what Liu Guoneng said was still within Chen Qiyu's expectation.

As soon as Zuo Liangyu couldn't come because of his illness, he expected that Zuo Liangyu must have guessed something, but he didn't expect that Zuo Liangyu didn't stay idle, but made a decisive decision to rebel, and even contacted those traffickers immediately. thief.In addition, the situation on the thief's side also shocked him.

He was like this, and so was Liu Yue who was listening beside him. They were all shocked by the news.

After Liu Guoneng explained the situation, he said earnestly: "Huang Hu and Cao Cao probably want to drive a wedge between the governor and the emperor, and they seem to want to plot against the emperor."

While Chen Qiyu was listening, he took a subtle look at the Jinyiwei Baihu beside him.For him, the news that the thief wanted to divorce, with the testimony of Jin Yiwei's hundreds of households, would only benefit him and not harm him.But at the same time, he had to be surprised by the ambitions of those thieves.

Of course, he would not just believe what Liu Guoneng said, but immediately after Liu Guoneng finished speaking, he asked, "Why did you come here to secretly report to this official? Aren't you afraid that this official will suspect you?"

"Back to the governor, the matter of Zuo Liangyu, as long as the governor checks it, you will know whether it is true or not." When Liu Guoneng said this, he suddenly raised his head and chest, and said frankly, "The last general was forced to do it before. Thieves, you have to be magnanimous in the court to have a chance to repent and start a new life. Others think so, I don’t know, I only know, I must cherish this last chance!”

After hearing this, Chen Qiyu couldn't help but look a little more serious, staring into Liu Guoneng's eyes.In his experience, there was no sign of lying.Then he turned his head and looked to his side and asked, "Liu Baihu, what do you think?"

Although Liu Yue has a small official position, he represents the emperor, so it is reasonable for him to be respected.He had been observing carefully from the side. When Chen Qiyu asked, he raised his hand and replied: "My lord, I will eventually believe him!"

Hearing this, Liu Guoneng couldn't help being a little surprised, and stared at Liu Yue seriously, somewhat excited in his heart.

Because of his family background, he felt inferior to some extent, but Jin Yiwei Baihu directly said that he believed in him. This kind of trust was very precious to him at this time.

After hearing this, Chen Qiyu stopped hesitating, and immediately said to Liu Guoneng: "Okay, I already know about Zuo Liangyu's matter. It's a very important matter. To prevent the enemy from being overwhelmed, just go back and act as if you never came. Wait for me to send troops." , When the two armies are facing each other, if you attack by surprise, you will definitely make great contributions, and you can take the post of guerrilla and serve the court!"

As soon as Liu Guoneng heard this, he immediately took the order, and immediately left the city quietly, and rushed back to work as an undercover agent.

On Chen Qiyu's side, he didn't dare to delay any longer. He sent Yebushuai to investigate Zuo Liangyu's situation, and adjusted his deployment. According to Liu Guoneng's situation, he sent the Yongwei Battalion to suppress Zuo Liangyu. Jade Rebellion.

However, what he didn't expect was that Zuo Liangyu had already started to act at the same time he dispatched Liu Guoneng, continuously attacking the surrounding cities, making Chen Qiyu feel caught off guard, so he hurriedly made amends.And sent people to strictly inform the local officials again that it is now a time of war, and they must defend the city according to the manual handed down by Chen Hongxu.

What Chen Qiyu didn't know was that there was another thing that he never thought of, that is, his conversations with others, including his own words, were immediately fed back to Emperor Chongzhen who was far away in Shaanxi, making Emperor Chongzhen the first For a while, I learned about the situation in Xiangyang.

At this time, in the prefectures and counties near Shangluo Mountain, the first thing is that the army is suppressing the border, and the second is that the things about Emperor Chongzhen have spread here first, so that the poor people no longer have a sense of fear of the official army.Therefore, as soon as Emperor Chongzhen arrived, the place was calmed down.

The appointment of new local officials and the restoration of local order are all arranged by Zheng Chongjian, and Emperor Chongzhen does not need to worry about it.He just thinks about the latest news and see how to use it?

Others don't know about it, but Liu Guoneng, he just happens to know about it. This person died fighting for Daming in the end.Therefore, under this premise, after thinking for a long time, he made a decision, and immediately sent eight hundred miles to Xiangyang to convey his will.

These thieves are not good, and they even thought of using tricks to get rid of Chen Qiyu.If they were deduced from the original history, they might not have succeeded, especially after Zuo Liangyu, who was familiar with the affairs of the officialdom, also joined the team of thieves.And Li Zicheng's subordinates, after so many years of exile, also knew the importance of the people's hearts, and put forward the slogan of "equalizing the land and exempting grain".

If I can't wipe them out completely this time, I don't know how much energy I will spend to continue to encircle them.Such internal friction is definitely not what I want to see.After this year, the best thing is to stabilize the country and be able to concentrate on dealing with the Manchus in Liaodong, which is a serious matter!

When Emperor Chongzhen thought of this, he felt that his will was correct, and it would be best to kill them all this time, and complete their meritorious service in one battle!
But there was one thing he was still dissatisfied with.It's just that the delivery of grain from the Jiangnan side is not fast enough, at least from Chen Qiyu's eavesdropping on the seeds, he didn't hear any news of the arrival of grain.It seems that the money and food used for military affairs in the early stage mainly depend on the princes' mansions in various places.Fortunately, there have been precautions before, and some things have been done.

As for those thieves who wanted to pick up the soft persimmons, they felt that he would definitely not be able to lead the army to fight, so they wanted to fight with him.Emperor Chongzhen didn't think about it at all, nor was he angry.Because as the army approached the thieves, I believe the thieves would know that their ideas were actually wrong!
With that in mind, Emperor Chongzhen led an elite army and left southern Shaanxi for Tongguan without haste.

On the northern side of Hubei, Zhang Xianzhong and others had almost one happy news after another.First, Zuo Liangyu really rebelled against the imperial court and lost his original residence to them, and before the imperial court reacted, he captured two county towns one after another.

Zuo Liangyu didn't seal the swords in the counties that he took down. Once this kind of thing happened, it was enough to prove Zuo Liangyu's determination to rebel.As a result, Zhang Xianzhong and others recognized Zuo Liangyu and began to discuss the matter of alliance.

Regarding this matter, they even have a kind of expectation, that is, just as Chen Qiyu took office, he overwhelmed a capable general soldier and lost two county towns. It is estimated that he will definitely be impeached, so it is best to go back and forth from wherever. go!

Zhang Xianzhong and the others were still rejoicing that the situation was going well. Suddenly, someone came to report that Li Zicheng's troops, with nearly 6 troops, were also coming to their side, saying that they would also unite with them to fight against the imperial court. This siege.

If these aspects are united, the force will increase dramatically!Immediately, all the thieves became very optimistic, and felt that they had returned to their most glorious time.
