Hope for luck

Chapter 338
In the 16th year of Tianfeng, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

This day was originally a great festival for thousands of families to spend the Lantern Festival together, but suddenly, a group of rebels suddenly appeared in various counties in Dongshan, hijacked the government offices and counties, and read a letter from the Queen Mother Regent of Dayan Kingdom on the spot. purpose.

It is stated clearly, the origin of the Great Yan Kingdom, this Dongshan land was originally the territory of the Great Yan Kingdom, but it was occupied by the emperor of the Yu Dynasty. Now, the royal family of the Great Yan Kingdom will take it back.

And after controlling the local governments, they sent their own officials. It seems that they have been prepared for a long time.

The newly appointed magistrate, county magistrate, etc. are all focused on appeasing the people, so that everyone should not panic and just do as usual.

All the checkpoints and official roads leading to Gyeonggi-do, Central Plains, Jiangnan, Huining and other places have been interrupted, and it will take a few days for the news to spread.

But in Dantang County, because Ning Yan is here, everything looks so harmonious and beautiful.

In the county town, it was still very lively, and the people walking on the street didn't feel that the sky outside had changed.

And Gao Pan, who was in the county government office, was also sitting in his own government office, waiting for news.

"Fifth Brother, the news is here!"

At this moment, Gao Ming walked in quickly, holding a letter in his hand.

Seeing this, Gao Pan got up quickly, took the letter in Gao Ming's hand, and read it at a glance. After a while, Gao Pan had already read it.

From the moment he saw Ning Yan, Yang Mingchun was no longer Gao Pan's subordinate, and returned to Ning Yan's side.

Therefore, now Gao Pan can only use another person he can absolutely trust, and this person is Gao Ming. Gao Pan persuaded Gao Qiyuan and brought him out, precisely because of this consideration.

The content of the letter is actually what Gao Pan arranged recently, because he didn't know how many rebels Yang Mingchun had arranged among his own people, so Gao Pan had to wait until the fifteenth day to see how many people were rebels. The opponent's.

But the result was beyond Gao Pan's expectations, because so far, no one has jumped out and said that he is a member of the rebel faction.

Of course Gao Pan also knew that they would definitely not jump out and say it by themselves, so he personally summoned everyone, and after confirming them one by one, Gao Pan realized that none of them were Ning Yan and the others.

This surprised Gao Pan, it seemed that Yang Mingchun had never thought about placing his own people among the people under Gao Pan's command.

It also made Gao Pan secretly touched, Yang Mingchun could do this, go to Ning Yan to ask for credit, but he didn't do it, which shows that he is quite 'loyal' to Gao Pan.

However, because of the early recognition of the Lord, he couldn't help himself.

And the letter in Gao Pan's hand at this moment is the news from these spies from several nearby counties.

The letter stated the situation in several nearby prefectures and counties. All the officials in the county government offices were arrested by the rebels and replaced by Ning Yan's so-called officials of the Great Yan Kingdom.

Moreover, notices were posted everywhere, explaining the origin of the Great Yan Kingdom, so that everyone should not be afraid. The most important thing is that their Great Yan Kingdom will no longer impose exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, so that everyone will have fields to cultivate and everyone will be able to fill their stomachs.

In just one day, the entire Dongshan had already fallen into the hands of the rebels without knowing it. Gao Pan was a little impressed after seeing it. If they can do the same in the northern provinces, then the change of dynasty is really uncertain.

Gao Pan felt that it was only the beginning now, as long as the Dayu Dynasty reacted, the current situation would be reversed in an instant.

Because of Liu Yuanliang, the governor, the officers and soldiers of the guards in Dongshan were all controlled in an instant, and there was no room for resistance, so they could only be forced to become soldiers of the Great Yan Kingdom.

Although Gao Pan didn't know how many troops Ning Yan and the others had controlled at the beginning of this time, Gao Pan guessed that there must be at least 30 or more. There are [-] troops.

It sounds scary, but Gao Pan also knows that there are only 5 people with real combat power, and the rest are improvised, so there are no counts at all.

"How's it going? Brother Gao?"

When Gao Pan read the news, Xie Yujun also ran in sweating profusely, and hurriedly asked Gao Pan.

Gao Pan did not hide anything, and told Xie Yujun everything. After hearing this, Xie Yujun was stunned on the spot. It took a while to realize, and said in a deep voice:
"If this is the case, it will take a few days before the court receives the news. What should we do?"

After Gao Pan listened, he replied calmly:

"Okay, this is the end of the matter, we can't change anything, just follow my orders!"

Xie Yujun frowned after hearing this:

"Brother Gao, I don't understand. Since we are powerless to change, what are we going to do these things? Just wait for the imperial army to suppress it!"

Gao Pan just sighed softly:
"The salary of eating the emperor, the matter of being loyal to the emperor, if you and I do nothing, how can we be sorry for this official uniform? When the imperial army arrives, Dantang County has already become what kind of purgatory on earth, we must do it, And do it well..."

Seeing Gao Pan's words being so serious, Xie Yujun's heart was slightly touched, and only now did he know what Gao Pan's true intentions were.

After solemnly nodding, he walked out, apparently to carry out Gao Pan's arrangement.

"Seventh brother, I will leave the affairs of the intelligence agency to you, don't let me down!"

After Xie Yujun left, Gao Pan looked at Gao Ming solemnly and said.

Gao Ming also looked like an adult, and replied respectfully:
"Don't worry, fifth brother, I will remember everything you said, and there will be nothing wrong!"

The current Gao Ming is only 13 years old, and he still looks like an immature boy.

But after going through many things, Gao Ming already knows how to deal with many things, and this is also due to the fact that Gao Pan asked him to take over many county government affairs.

But Gao Pan has no one available at the moment, Gao Pan is now very passive due to Yang Mingchun's matter, so he had to let Gao Ming take the lead first.

The Intelligence Agency is the name Gao Pan gave to the intelligence structure he set up. Before that, Shen Jinhua gave him 1 taels of silver to allow him to set up his own intelligence agency.

After understanding the huge difference brought about by the information gap, Gao Pan understands that if he wants to live a wonderful life in this world without being controlled by others, he must have his own special source of information.

Although he failed to predict that Ning Yan and the others would rebel, Gao Pan still learned a lot from Yang Mingchun.

When leaving Beijing, Gao Pan handed over the staff of the capital branch to Shen Jinhua, and asked her to process some news before passing it back to Gao Pan.

This is also Gao Pan's last choice. There are too few people available under his command now, so he can only use his relatives or acquaintances.

The most important thing is that the intelligence office was established with the support of Shen Jinhua. Besides, he and Shen Jinhua have long been close, and Gao Pan will be assured that Shen Jinhua will take over.

Although I was worried that Shen Jinhua would work a lot because of this, after all, Gao Pan had no one he could trust at the moment, so it was a last resort to hand it over to Shen Jinhua.
