[Today's chapter is presented, please collect and subscribe!!] 】

Hearing Li Zixiao talking about serious things, Zeng Qi also restrained his smile, took out a piece of music from his arms, and handed it to Li Zixiao.

Li Zixiao opened it and saw that they were densely written with a large number of names.

"General, the list on the chapter is the list of officials who have secretly colluded with each other in the past two months, and they have gradually expanded from a dozen at the beginning to hundreds now.

The official position includes the highest acquaintance, the small and unpopular city patrol officials, and we 'Tianting Pavilion' have been paying attention to it for a long time. ”

Zeng Qi explained.

Li Zixiao looked at the names of as many as hundreds of Jiangbei officials on it, and his face turned pale.

He didn't expect that so many people would collude together in the secret and be ready to oppose him.

"It seems that the series of policies I have implemented in Jiangbei have affected many people." Li Zixiao sighed and said.

"The policies pursued by the great general are all beneficial to the people, and only the interests of a small number of people are harmed.

And not all of these lists are against the generals because of their policies.

Many of these people were tempted, and the schemers offered conditions that would be difficult for them to refuse. ”

"What's the situation with the people circled in red on it?"

Li Zixiao looked at the top of the chapter, the names of the five people who were circled in red, all of them were the highest officials in Jiangbei at this time, and asked.

"General, according to the repeated confirmation of our 'Tianting Pavilion' intelligence officers, these five people are the main plotters who are secretly colluding with some senior officials of the imperial court to prepare for a rebellion in Jiangbei."

"Huai'an knows Jiang Dawei, Huai'an soldiers and horses guard Jiang Yufeng, Yangzhou knows Pan Ying, Yangzhou soldiers and horses guard Tian Qing, and Yangzhou is sentenced to a strict area."

Li Zixiao had a cold face and read out their names one by one.

These five people are all officials with real power in Jiangbei, whether they are Tongzhi or soldiers and horses, they are all important and high-level official positions.

Moreover, Tongzhi assists the prefect and manages the daily civil affairs of the state capital, while the soldiers and horses garrison is directly in charge of the city defense army of the state capital and is responsible for the city defense of the state capital.

If it is true that these five people are secretly planning a rebellion, once they are really allowed to carry it out, even if they are not successful in the end, it will bring serious damage to Jiangbei.

Li Zixiao had already regarded the three prefectures of Jiangbei as his foundation, how could he allow these people to destroy them.

"Brother Zeng, the next thing I want to trouble you is to keep an eye on these people for my brother, pay attention to their actions, but don't startle the snake, and see if there are any other fish that have slipped through the net.

Look at who these people have also contacted, and who are willing to join them, paying special attention to the city defense generals in Shanyang and Yangzhou.

I estimate that these people will coerce and lure these city defense generals next, after all, if they want to rebel, they will definitely have the assistance of the city defense army.

This time, I'm going to wipe out all of these black sheep. Li Zixiao's eyes were cold and he said.

"Okay, this is the duty of our 'Tianting Pavilion', and I will also target them for the general."

After Zeng Qi left, Li Zixiao temporarily lived in Zheng Guangming's mansion, and the next day, Zhang Fugui secretly rushed back to Xuzhou to meet Li Zixiao.

"Ergou, do you know who the important ministers of the court who colluded with Dong Dawei, Pan Ying and others are?"

After Li Zixiao saw Zhang Fugui, he asked directly.

After listening to Li Zixiao's questioning, Zhang Fugui knew that Li Zixiao had mastered a lot of information, and it was estimated that he knew no less than he knew.

After Li Zixiao's beating last time, Zhang Fugui deliberately used the power of the Intelligence Bureau to secretly conduct an investigation and determined that Li Zixiao had another intelligence agency.

Of course, Zhang Fugui only checked it a little, and after confirming this, he immediately stopped.

Therefore, at this time, Zhang Fugui was not surprised that as soon as Li Zixiao came back, he immediately knew that the mastermind who was secretly planning the rebellion this time.

At the same time, the appearance of 'Tianting Pavilion' also gave Zhang Fugui a sense of crisis in his heart.

Zhang Fugui instinctively thought that this was set up by Li Zixiao to balance his intelligence bureau.

He didn't know that in fact, the 'Tianting Pavilion' and his intelligence bureau were completely different intelligence systems.

"General Qiyu, according to the information we got from Zhang Guangqian, the mastermind behind this attack on Jiangbei is Chen Xinjia, the secretary of the Ministry of War.

However, there were also some officials from the household department and the official department, and we are not sure whether there was a divine instigation. ”

Zhang Fugui said respectfully.

"Chen Xinjia, he's looking for death!" Li Zixiao's eyes showed murderous aura, and he roared.

In fact, Li Zixiao guessed in his heart that if Chen Xinjia dared to do this, even if he did not get Chongzhen's instructions, he must have obtained Chongzhen's tacit approval.

In the final analysis, it is because he is no longer trusted by Chongzhen, and Chongzhen does not want to see Li Zixiao continue to grow bigger.

"General, my subordinates recently got news that after returning to Shandong, Liu Zeqing, the general soldier of Shandong, suddenly transferred his men to Yanzhou five days ago, which seems to have been ordered by Chen Xinjia."

Zhang Fugui continued to report cautiously.

"Hmph, as soon as Lao Tzu left, there was really a turtle king who came out, and Liu Zeqing, the villain who was greedy for life and afraid of death, dared to touch my Jiangbei.

Lao Tzu is still worried that there is no excuse for troops to enter Shandong, maybe this time Liu Zeqing can give me an excuse to enter Shandong. ”

For Liu Zeqing, Li Zixiao is very invisible, before Liu Zeqing led troops to aid Xi'an, Li Zixiao faced the army of thieves in Ruzhou.

The distance between the two sides is only a few dozen miles, Liu Zeqing was stunned that he did not send a single soldier to help, this person is greedy but afraid of death, in Li Zixiao's opinion, this person's ability is mediocre, and there is nothing to be afraid of.

"What is the situation in Liaodong at this time?"

Suddenly, Li Zixiao asked about the situation in Liaodong, which made Zhang Fugui stunned.

When he came over this time, Zhang Fugui thought that Li Zixiao would definitely focus on asking him about the recent undercurrent situation in Jiangbei, but he didn't pay much attention to the intelligence of Liaodong.

At this time, Li Zixiao asked him about the situation in Liaodong, he wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead, and had to tell the truth: "General Qiqi, the latest information on the situation in Liaodong received by his subordinates was two days ago.

According to the information sent, Wu Bashi, the guard of Jinzhou Dongguan, surrendered to the Qing two days ago, and the Tartars had occupied the outer city of Jinzhou, and Zu Dashou asked Hong Chengchou for help.

In this way, Hong Chengchou couldn't stay in Ningyuan, and the intelligence sent from Ningyuan showed that the main force of the Ming army led by Hong Chengchou had already shown signs of moving north. ”

"Yes. It's about the same as I expected, and the next good show in Liaodong is about to be staged. ”

After Li Zixiao heard this, he also nodded slightly, Li Zixiao knew the development of the situation in Liaodong in his heart.

After all, Li Zixiao still has some understanding of the battle of Songjin in history, of course, he can't remember the specific details, so he asked Zhang Fugui.

In this life, although there is a slight interference from Li Zixiao, it has not had much impact on the war between the Tartars and the Ming army in Liaodong at this time.

"What's going on with Liu Chong in Liaoning?" Li Zixiao looked at Zhang Fugui and continued to ask.

"The intelligence on the Liaonan side is a little slow to pass through, and I received the latest news five days ago.

After Shang Kexi stabilized Gaizhou, he still led his troops to attack Jinzhou, but was blocked by General Liu's army in the area of Hongzui Fort, and the battle between the two sides was stalemate.

However, the intelligence wrote that General Liu only led 3,000 men and horses to block the tens of thousands of traitor troops who were still gratifying, and it seemed that he was still at ease. ”

"Yes, that's good. You go down, pay attention to the movements of Liu Zeqing, you don't need to worry about Jiangbei's affairs, you focus on collecting intelligence from Liaodong during this time. ”

After Li Zixiao got the information he wanted to know, he waved his hand at Zhang Fugui and said.

"Yes, the subordinates retired." Zhang Fugui also bowed and retreated.

Subsequently, Li Zixiao wrote several letters and summoned Zhao Zilong.

"Zilong, there are four letters here, you take a team of guards and send them to Shanyang and Yangzhou secretly.

They were handed over to Han Lushan, the prefect of Huai'an, Lin Yongnian, the prefect of Yangzhou, Qian Guangyuan, who was in Yangzhou at this time, and Wei Hong, who had just left for Yangzhou.

Here is my waist card, with it, you can enter the military camp outside Yangzhou City to meet Wei Hong. ”

Li Zixiao handed four letters and a waist card to Zhao Zilong, and said.

"Yes, my subordinates will definitely deliver it."

In the next few days, in the two prefectures of Shanyang and Yangzhou in Jiangbei, there were continuous undercurrents, and Dong Dawei, Pan Ying and others took action one after another, trying to coerce and lure more officials to join them.

Among them, as Li Zixiao thought, the object they focused on fighting for was the generals of the city defense army in the two prefectures.

Shanyang, Dong Mansion, today is Dong Dawei's mother's 70th birthday, and many officials in Shanyang came to congratulate her.

Liang Han, a hundred households in Shanyang City, his daily duty is to guard the north city gate, and today he also came to congratulate Dong Dawei's mother on her birthday.

It's just that after the birthday banquet, Liang Han and several other hundreds of households in Shanyang City were called to another courtyard by Dong Dashou.

Half a day later, they mixed with the other guests and left the Dong Mansion, but they all had solemn expressions.

"Big brother, what's wrong?"

One of Liang Han's sworn brothers, who is also his subordinate Baihu, saw Liang Han's expression, knew that he had something in his heart, and asked.

Liang Han looked left and right, and found that no one was approaching, so he whispered to his brother: "Jinzi, Lord Dong wants to betray the general."

This time, he summoned us to the past, asking us to join them, promising that after the matter was completed, I would be promoted to the rank of president of Qian. ”

When Jin Daming heard this, his eyes widened, obviously extremely shocked, and only after a long time did he look at Liang Han and ask eagerly, "Big brother, you won't really agree, right?" ”

"How is it possible, how can I easily agree to such an important matter, but Dong Dawei asked us to give an answer as soon as possible. and gave each of us five thousand taels of silver. ”

Liang Han took out a silver ticket of five thousand taels from his sleeve and said.

"Big brother, what do you think?" Kim Damyung asked.

"Kaneko, do you think it's possible for these people to succeed?" Liang Han asked.

"Big brother, don't be confused, in my opinion, brother and me, Dong Dawei is completely seeking his own death by doing this, at this time in Jiangbei, the general's reputation is in full swing, and he is deeply loved by the people.

Look at the people around you, smiling, can you still see so many beggars and homeless people in Shanyang City in the past? All this was brought by the Great General.

The life of the people of Shanyang (Huai'an Fucheng) has become much better because of the general, and at this time, Dong Dawei and these people actually want to overthrow the general, and they are simply going against the trend.

He Dong Dawei wants to die, our brothers can't go with them to die!

Don't forget, just with those men and horses in our hands, how can we fight against the elite soldiers under the general, big brother, don't be confused! ”

Jin Daming was very anxious at this time, and said to Liang Han, for fear that he would make some wrong decision.

"Hey, Jinzi, I'm the same as you think, but I'm afraid things can't help us, Dong Dawei actually sent someone to kidnap my mother.

That old thing said it sounded good, let me go back and think about it, it's just to force me to comply, and I'm a little embarrassed! ”

Liang Han also showed an angry look on his face, but he said helplessly.

"What, this old thief dares to kidnap his aunt, it's really hateful. But we can't risk the lives of hundreds of our brothers!

I have to think of a proper way, not only to save my aunt, but also not to send Dong Lao thief to death together, what should I do? ”

After Jin Daming heard Liang Han's words, he was also very angry, Dong Dawei did everything in order to win the support of several hundred generals in Shanyang City and get the city defense army in their hands.

not only used money to open the way, but also prepared other back-ups, and if the lure could not be achieved, it would be coerced.

"Why don't we tell Master Jiang about the conspiracy of the old thief Dong!"

"Jiang Yufeng?" Liang Han sneered and said, "Jiang Yufeng was there just now, and he and Dong Lao Thief are in the same group. ”

"Ahh Even Lord Jiang ......, why? Kim Damyung shouted puzzled.

Jiang Yufeng is the top boss of Liang Han, who guards the city of 100 households, although he can order them, he can't directly mobilize the city defense soldiers under Liang Han.

Therefore, if Dong Dawei and Jiang Yufeng want their conspiracy to succeed, they have to get the cooperation of a general like Liang Han of the city defense army.

"Who knows what those officials think, the general is already very generous to them, and he is not satisfied.

Now that Dong Lao Thief and Master Jiang are colluding together, the only person who can stop them is probably the Han Governor's Mansion. ”

"Then let's go to Lord Han and tell him about the conspiracy of the Dong thief."

"No, in that case, my mother will be in danger, we must think of a reliable way to inform Master Han of the conspiracy of Dong Lao Thief without Dong Lao Thief noticing.

But we have to be cautious in our actions, and Dong Lao Thief must have arranged a lot of people to see us at this time.

It is estimated that there are also people from Dong Lao's thief on the Han Governor's Mansion, if we go directly, it is impossible to see the prefect. ”

"So what to do? You can't really send Dong Lao Thief to death together, we are living a very comfortable life now, I don't want to betray the general. ”

"You think I want to, we have to think of a way to hide from Dong Lao's thief. With that, gold, I thought of a solution. Liang Han suddenly said excitedly.

"Big brother, what's the solution?"

"Come, gold, I tell you, we can ...... like this"
