Chapter 1183: Foregone conclusion

Just when Sun Tai was hesitating, Ma Shiying came to Nanjing City again.

It is said that Ma Shiying is responsible for guarding Fengyang Mansion, and without Qian Qianyi or Cao Huachun's order, he cannot leave Fengyang Mansion and enter Nanjing City without authorization, but Ma Shiying can't take care of it so much.

Yan Yingyuan and Ma Shiying's conversation went a lot smoother, on the one hand, because of Su Tiancheng's original analysis, he thought that Ma Shiying was easier to submit, Ma Shiying in history, once listed as a traitor, said to be greedy, love money, but his integrity is still good, unwilling to submit to the Qing Dynasty, such a person, Su Tiancheng believes that it is precisely a person who has his own calm analysis, can understand current affairs, and will never do things that are obedient to other races, which will affect his reputation in the future, and Ma Shiying is still bold and righteous, such a person, As long as it can be used in the right place, there is no problem, on the other hand, it is also because the defense task of Fengyang Mansion is too heavy, and it seems that it is almost an impossible task, Qian Qianyi and Cao Huachun, who came to take charge of the defense matters, do not care about these things at all, which also makes Ma Shiying see the crisis and worry about following in the footsteps of Zhu Youxiang.

Su Tiancheng's analysis was very accurate, which also made Yan Yingyuan's conversation with him much smoother, Ma Shiying immediately said that the soldiers of Fengyang Mansion would not resist, and they would definitely maintain the stability of Fengyang Mansion, but Ma Shiying also put forward the condition, that is, Fengyang belongs to the land of Longxing, and many mausoleums cannot be damaged, which Yan Yingyuan said with a full mouth, saying that His Royal Highness King Fu will never touch these mausoleums, on the contrary, they must be well preserved.

When Ma Shiying learned that Su Tiancheng had also contacted Sun Tai, he was shocked and admired in his heart, he really felt Su Tiancheng's wisdom, and also felt that the choice to follow Su Tiancheng was correct. Out of this consideration, Ma Shiying resolutely chose to go to Nanjing City to persuade Sun Tai. The two took refuge and surrendered to Su Tiancheng together.

You must know that there must be some dangers when Lu Dao enters Nanjing City like this, and the eyeliner all over Nanjing City must have noticed all this, but Ma Shiying can't manage it so much, and the Jiangning battalion is divided into two ways. It has approached Nanjing City and Fengyang Mansion, if you hesitate, you will lose a great opportunity, and there is no place to regret it.

Sun Tai talked to Ma Shiying again, only to learn that Su Tiancheng also sent Yan Yingyuan to recruit Ma Shiying, his feeling was the same as Ma Shiying, admiring Su Tiancheng's judgment, this time the two did not hesitate, and quickly unified their understanding. Determined to surrender to Su Tiancheng, the next step is to make specific arrangements for deployment.

So Sun Tai personally selected the Juxian Inn, and Ma Shiying, Yan Yingyuan, Liu Jingting and others gathered at the Juxian Inn to discuss the details of returning to Su Tiancheng and how to operate it.

Sun Tai and Ma Shiying's series of measures have long been noticed by Jinyiwei and Dongchang Fanzi.

Qian Qianyi and Cao Huachun were still concerned about the defense of Nanjing City and Fengyang Mansion, and they also knew very well that when the battle came. still have to rely on Sun Tai and Ma Shiying, not to mention that these two people are familiar with the officers and sergeants. It is said that the two of them are also well aware of the defense deployment of Nanjing City and Fengyang Mansion, so their monitoring of the two is extremely strict.

Ma Shiying went to visit Sun Tai for the first time, and Qian Qianyi and Cao Huachun knew about it, but there was a normal place for the two to have contact this time. After all, it is for the defense of Nanjing City and Fengyang Mansion, and it is very necessary for the two to discuss together and learn from each other's strengths, which can also make Qian Qianyi and Cao Huachun worry less.

But the two of them made contact for the second time. It's hard to say, in just a few days, Ma Shiying traveled long distances, from Fengyang Mansion to Nanjing City again, there is no major matter, there will never be such a move, plus the meeting between Ma Shiying and Sun Tai was arranged at the Juxian Inn, which made Qian Qianyi and Cao Huachun even more worried.

Qian Qianyi and Cao Huachun, who had almost no contact, got together this time, and it was Cao Huachun who came to the official post where Qian Qianyi lived.

The two didn't have any friendship, so naturally there wasn't much greeting, and they went straight to the topic.

Qian Qianyi is a cabinet scholar, concurrently serving as the secretary of the military department, commanding the defense of Nanzhili, and has a greater initiative, Cao Huachun, as the supervisor of the army, the commander of the capital camp, for military affairs, is also a little knowledgeable, so the two of them put forward their own understanding of the performance of Sun Tai and Ma Shiying.

It's a pity that there has been a major deviation in the understanding between the two from the beginning.

They didn't think that Sun Tai and Ma Shiying would rebel at all, but what they thought was that Sun Tai and Ma Shiying might be dissatisfied because of Zhu Youxiang's affairs, and it was very likely that they would directly admonish the court and avenge Zhu Youxiang.

This is also Qian Qianyi and Cao Huachun's consideration of their own interests, and their own hearts to save others.

Zhu Youxiang's matter, Cao Huachun is relatively clear, and he is even more aware of Wang Chengen's status in front of the emperor, so after coming to Nanjing, he definitely wants to protect Qin Sande, and maintaining Qin Sande is equivalent to safeguarding Wang Chengen, even if Nanjing City is lost in the future, he will not suffer too much punishment, because Wang Chengen speaks for him, on the contrary, if he wants to overturn the case for Zhu Youxiang, I am afraid that the action has not yet begun, and he will encounter a catastrophe.

As for Qian Qianyi, he is very indifferent to the emperor's relatives entering the imperial court, thinking that this is completely contrary to the ancestral system, it is chaotic, and it will affect the stability of the imperial court and the authority of the emperor, plus the former cabinet deputy Zhu Xianxuan, took refuge in Su Tiancheng, so Qian Qianyi is indifferent to Zhu Youxiang, Zhu Youxiang may have suffered a grievance and carried the black pot for others, but all this has nothing to do with him Qian Qianyi, the new official ignores the old things, not to mention Zhu Youxiang's matter, the emperor has already made a conclusion, deeper thoughts, Qian Qianyi also thought of the rebellion of the vassal kings in history, who knows if this is the emperor's intention, that is, to take this opportunity to suppress the vassal kings and the princes of the vassal kings, including the imperial relatives who entered the court to do things.

Out of these considerations, the two agreed that it was necessary to stabilize Sun Tai and Ma Shiying, and if the situation was not right, remove the two of them from power and directly take charge of the military power.

In fact, Qian Qianyi and Cao Huachun's opinions are still good, no matter what kind of idea they have, as long as Sun Tai and Ma Shiying's military power is temporarily relieved, all problems are solved, the army is in their hands, and they can control all the situation, but unfortunately the two are indecisive, and they are afraid that because of the removal of Sun Tai and Ma Shiying's military power, the two of them will go directly to the court to express their grievances and expose Zhu Youxiang's grievances, in that case, things will be big.

Therefore, the two felt that they should focus on stability, do the work of Sun Tai and Ma Shiying respectively, and ask them to protect Nanjing and Fengyang Mansion with peace of mind, and not think about other things.

After carefully considering the opinions of the discussion, the two wrote a note to the imperial court.

As the secretary of the military department of Nanzhili, including the governor of Fengyang Mansion, it is equivalent to the head of the snake, Qian Qianyi and Cao Huachun's measures, Sun Tai and Ma Shiying cannot be ignorant of the way, the two discussed before, the opinion is to find a suitable opportunity, to submit to Su Tiancheng, at least to control the sergeants under his command, do not resist, do not plunder, must ensure the stability of Nanjing and Fengyang Mansion, as for how to deal with the matter of Qian Qianyi and Cao Huachun, the two also have ideas, when taking measures to return to the Shun, let Qian Qianyi and Cao Huachun leave Nanjing City, They still didn't want to capture the two and hand them over to Su Tiancheng.

The matter discussed by Qian Qianyi and Cao Huachun made Sun Tai and Ma Shiying feel nervous.

They don't know the reason for this very well, but with their intuitive feelings, they think that it is aimed at the two of them, if they are realized by Qian Qianyi and Cao Huachun before they surrender to Su Tiancheng, then they will lose all opportunities.

Ma Shiying was still in Nanjing City and did not leave for the time being, and Ma Shiying, who was going to go back to deploy, received Sun Tai's notice and went straight to the official residence.

This was an extremely important meeting, and it was also the meeting that decided the fate of Nanjing City and Fengyang Mansion.

Sun Tai's expression was very serious, and he spoke to Ma Shiying.

"Master Ma, Lord Qian and Gonggong Cao have discussed something, and I haven't figured it out yet, but the official thinks that you and I can't delay, if there is a real change in Nanjing City, it will be too late, and then Lord Su will lead the army to attack, and the lives will be ruined, you and I will be the sinners of history, the official has thought about it again and again, and feels that it is necessary to do it."

"If your lord has any ideas, just say it, and the lower officials will do it."

"This official will send sergeants to imprison Lord Qian and Gonggong Cao in the next two days, if they are willing to submit to Lord Su together, it would be better, if they are unwilling, then it is no wonder that you and me, let Lord Su deal with them."

A resolute look appeared on Sun Tai's face, which infected Ma Shiying.

Ma Shiying nodded vigorously and agreed, in this matter, Ma Shiying cannot be the master, the sergeants under his command are all in Fengyang Mansion City, and he cannot transfer troops in Nanjing City, and the one who can directly transfer troops is Sun Tai.

"Your Excellency still needs to be cautious, you must not be exposed, Xia Guan thinks that this kind of thing should be informed to Liu Jingting and Yan Yingyuan, and let them inform Lord Su, and only by responding inside and outside can we ensure success."

"This official also thinks about it, when you and I take action, Master Su will definitely respond."

Liu Jingting and Yan Yingyuan, who lived in the Juxian Inn, suddenly received the news and were a little caught off guard, but after the two discussed urgently, they decided to report to His Royal Highness King De immediately, Liu Jingting stayed at the Juxian Inn, easy to contact, Yan Yingyuan left Nanjing City, and quickly rushed to Lishui to report everything that was about to happen in Nanjing City, so that His Royal Highness King De could prepare everything.

Liu Jingting and Yan Yingyuan didn't expect that taking Nanjing City and Fengyang Mansion, and even the real Nanzhili, would be so easy, and there was no need for a large-scale fight, it seems that such a situation was expected by His Royal Highness King De for a long time. (To be continued......)
