Baima Town is the gateway to Pujiang County and the location of the Pujiang Inspection Division. Now it has become a military city, and the 20,000 Chinese troops of Zhejiang Dusi have filled this town to the brim, and the streets are full of heavily armed officers and soldiers, carts transporting baggage, and the smell of dung from carts and animals...... But on the whole, the military discipline is not bad, after all, Zhejiang's army has been fighting against the Japanese all year round, and the military discipline has not been relaxed

The yamen of the inspection department has become the capital division, and the guards of the capital division have set up a new gate, and the guards in bright armor are strictly guarded, and no one is allowed to rush into the line.

Inside, there are three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, and all the way is heavily guarded until the front of the main hall.

The main hall is hung with a topographic map of Pujiang County and the surrounding mountains and rivers, and a sand table is also placed. The original table case has been removed, and it has been replaced by Uncle Tang's huge rosewood handsome case, which is equipped with the four treasures of the study, the pen holder paperweight, the document file, and the big seal wrapped in yellow silk!

Zhejiang Dusi and Xinchang Bo Tang Yun, wearing a mighty python robe, stood in front of the topographic sand table of Pujiang County carefully made by master craftsmen, staring at Zhengzhai Town, which was one step away from Baima Town, with his brows tightly locked. Until the guard outside announced: "Dashuai, Zhou Zhentai is here." ”

"Please." Tang Yun turned around, and after a while, Zhou Xin, who was dressed in a crimson official robe, came in, his face was as cold as the iron of three winters, and saluted Tang Yun and said, "Uncle has worked hard. ”

"It's not hard, Brother Zhou is hard." Tang Yun stretched out his hand and invited him to sit down, and another guard served tea. Tang Yun himself also sat down on the big sword golden horse in the right position and said: "These days I have been running in the mountains, and everyone has lost a lot of weight. After a pause, Ha Luha smiled and said, "The harvest must be not small, right?" ”

"It's fine." Zhou Xin could naturally hear that he was teasing himself, and said lightly: "After killing twenty-one traitors, it is verified that after the positive death, three of them can be determined, and they are the people we are looking for." ”

"What about the Lord?" Tang Yun touched his beard and asked.

"That man has been forced out of the mountains and forests and fled into the town." Zhou Xin said in a deep voice: "I believe that there is an uncle's iron wall, and it is difficult for him to fly with wings!" ”

"Of course......" Tang Yunpi smiled and said, "Brother, my army has been deployed, listen to my brother's dispatch." ”

"Don't dare." Zhou Xinzhi said that this was the sequelae of his own message to Tang Yun and asked him to quickly rate the army into Pujiang, so he had to explain: "How dare the lower officials override the uncle, it's just that the matter is urgent and related to the country, if there is anything indecent, please also ask the uncle Haihan." ”

"Who do you think of me?" The yin and yang weirdness on Tang Yun's face faded a little, and he said with a smile: "Besides, the emperor said, let me listen to you, you just send it, don't worry about it." ”

"Don't dare, don't dare." Zhou Xindao: "In my uncle's opinion, what should I do now?" ”

"I said it, listen to you." Tang Yun seems to be rude, but the heroes who came over Jing Nan, and after ten years of immersion in power, he has long been cunning and cunning. He knew that this incident was really the most important thing in the world, and if he made a slight mistake, he might face the thunderous wrath of the saint. Thinking of Emperor Yongle's cold eyes, the arrogant Uncle Tang couldn't help but shudder, this was the reason why he was able to follow his will and listen to a civil official's orders.

"As soon as the incident happened, it was already reported to the imperial court in an urgent manner for eight hundred miles, but after this snowfall, it will not be announced until three days at the earliest." Zhou Xin said slowly: "The capital is thousands of miles away, we can't put all the responsibility on His Majesty, we still have to make our own decisions." ”

"Hmm." Tang Yun bowed his head and said, "When will Hu Tong arrive?" ”

"He is now in Jiangxi, and it will take almost three days to arrive." Zhou Xindao.

"It seems that only the elder brother has the idea." Tang Yun gloated a little.

"Then the subordinate will dare to talk about it." Zhou Xin said in a deep voice: "Although the Ming Sect occupies the county seat, it seems that the situation is very critical, but you and I both know that this is insignificant compared to our real task. ”

Tang Yun nodded, listening to him continue: "So we have only one goal, which is to find him. Now there are two possibilities, one is that he is in the hands of the Ming Sect, and the other is that he is under the protection of the Zheng family. In the case of the former, in the case of hopeless escape, his destination must be the county seat. If the latter is the case, he should be hiding in Zheng Zhai Town.

"The Zheng family and Mingjiao didn't wear a pair of pants?" Tang Yun asked in a deep voice.

"At the moment, there is no sign of confluence." Zhou Xindao: "Otherwise, the situation will never be like this." ”

Tang Yun thought about it for a while, nodded and said, "Not bad." "Whether it's the Zheng family or the Ming Sect, it's impossible to confront the imperial court alone. Their only way is to merge and defend Pujiang City together, so that it is possible to hold out until reinforcements arrive...... Let's just think they have reinforcements. "Then what are you waiting for, immediately surround Zheng Zhai Town, destroy the Zheng family first, and prevent them from converging!"

"Zheng family ......" Zhou Xin pulled a wry smile at the corner of his mouth: "Is it so easy to destroy?" ”

"What's so difficult?" Tang Yun sneered: "Ben Shuai has exhausted his elite this time, and he is still afraid of his two thousand township soldiers?" ”

"Uncle misunderstood." Zhou Xin shook his head and said: "What Xia Guan means is that the Zheng family is the first in Jiangnan sealed by Taizu, a model of filial piety in the world, we will eliminate it, how to explain it to the people of the world?" ”

"Uh......" Tang Yun thought about it, too, the Zheng family's reason for damning was naturally enough to dare to harbor the abolished emperor, which was enough to destroy his nine clans! But the emperor had already announced that Jianwen was dead, so this reason naturally could not be used. "Collusion with Mingjiao, intent on rebellion?"

"Then what does Taizu's face have?" Zhou Xin shook his head and said: "And there is another point, Taizu set the "Emperor Ming Ancestral Training> which was based on the Zheng family's family motto, which is a well-known ...... in the world" The implication is that if the Zheng family intends to rebel, its family motto is naturally not enough to be a training, so put the "Emperor Ming Ancestral Training>." Where?

This is very fatal, because Zhu Di rebelled back then, and he fought under the guise of Jianwen obeying the traitorous and gossip, and changing the law of his ancestors, so he wanted to 'Fengtianjing is difficult to clear the king's side'. After he became the emperor, he naturally abolished all the reform measures of Emperor Jianwen, and in order to demonstrate the legitimacy of his throne, he advertised himself as the most loyal heir of Emperor Taizu everywhere, and it was impossible to deny the "Emperor Ming Zu Xun>。

"This can't be, that can't be, what do you say?" Tang Yun didn't expect that to deal with the Zheng family was really a dog biting a hedgehog - there was nowhere to put his mouth out!

Zhou Xin waited for his words, and took a sip of tea when he heard the words: "The real tribute Longjing, the uncle is not thin to treat the officials." ”

"Hehe, it's good to know the way." The corners of Tang Yun's mouth twitched, he remembered that the other party was a cheap visit to a province, and if he participated in his private tribute, he would definitely be scolded by the emperor, and his attitude couldn't help but become more polite......

"The fate of the Zheng family is not something we can decide." Zhou Xin put down the teacup

"Yes, it should be decided by the emperor." Tang Yun nodded, and said with a bitter face: "But how can a courtier push the problem to the emperor?" Being able to say this sentence shows that Zhu Di is by no means nepotism.

"Uncle is right," Zhou Xin was not surprised, and said: "So for Zheng Zhai Town, we should besiege it in the name of protection but not attack, and then step up the recovery of the county seat on the one hand, and force the Zheng family to hand over people on the other." When the county seat is captured, if you are sure that that person is not in the hands of Mingjiao......" paused, he said word by word: "I can't say, dig three feet into Zhengzhai Town, and dig him out!" ”

"It's still my brother who thinks it through." Tang Yun touched his beard like a steel needle and said, "That's it, let's divide the troops into two ways." I'll take people to siege the city, and you will take people to besiege Zhengzhai Town, how about it? ”

"We have to block the county border, we have to attack the city, and we have to blockade Zhengzhai Town." Zhou Xin was a little worried: "Will the troops be too scattered?" ”

"Ha Luha, you are a layman." Tang Yun smiled proudly: "In the land of Pujiang District, 50,000 troops are not too few but too many. If it weren't for the sake of foolproofness, there would be no need for so many people. ”

"I'm a layman in military affairs," Zhou Xin rarely doesn't have the kind of civilian officials who don't know how to pretend to understand, which is also the reason why Tang Yun gives him more face: "Just listen to your uncle."

"Hmm." Tang Yun nodded, stood up and said: "The reason why Hu Tong's guy has not arrived for a long time is that I don't know what you think......" Seeing Zhou Xin's impassivity, he said to himself: "You want to prove that for the investigation and arrest of the Son of Heaven, the Criminal Department can also be competent, and they are better than Jinyiwei." ”

"I really don't have the heart to fight for the wind and be jealous." Zhou Xin shook his head and said.

"Then to put it another way, if you want the emperor to know the way, Jinyiwei can be replaced......" Tang Yun said quietly: "Do you still want to deny it?" ”

Zhou Xin was silent, this old man had a pig-like face, his heart was bright, and he really understood everything.

"Don't be nervous." Tang Yun smiled and said, "If I hadn't been on your side, I would have informed Jinyiwei a long time ago." As he spoke, he said with a grim look on his face: "Don't worry, brother, brother, I support you to get rid of Ji Gang's bastard as soon as possible, so that the brothers can chop him up and feed him to the dogs!" ”

Zhou Xin was stunned for a moment, but then understood that Tang Yun hated Ji Gang, and he shouldn't be pretending. Although they both belong to the ministers of Jingjing, Ji Gang was born in all lives, and he has never been able to pee with the generals, and later he became the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and he can ride out at every turn, arrest and kill people in the name of the emperor, regardless of the civil and military generals are silent in front of him, lest he suffer.

Ji Gang is flying and domineering, the emperor in the world is the first and he is the second, even if he is bigger than him and has a higher status, as long as he provokes him, he will be brutally retaliated against...... The commander of the same level as Ji Gang made him dumb, and because he didn't give way to him on the road, he was considered deliberately disrespectful by Ji Gang and kept it in his heart. Later, Ji Gangjing was falsely accused of taking a reward, and beat the dumb post to death with a big stick. There is also Yangwu Marquis Xue Lu, as the governor, regardless of official position, is higher than Ji Gang, the two are jealous for a Taoist aunt, once they met in the palace, Ji Gang grabbed the iron melon in the guard's hand, and hit him according to his brain, and broke the head of Xue Houye, almost died......

And Xue Lu and the dumb post are Tang Yun's old comrades-in-arms and brothers. Although Uncle Tang didn't dare to provoke the fierce god directly, if anyone wanted to challenge Ji Gang's power, he was very willing to help.
