After inspecting the musket camp and just returning to the palace, Gao Jie came to meet him.

Now Gao Jiegui is the secretary of the Ministry of Intelligence, responsible for the collection of all kinds of intelligence across the country, and even the collection of information on the violation of discipline by hundreds of officials is under Gao Jie's control.

"Your Majesty, something is wrong with the situation......

Zhu Jie frowned and asked, "Brother Yingwu, what's wrong?" What went wrong? ”

Gao Jie said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the eyeliner sent out by the ministers, found a large number of military salaries and ships in Shandong, all of which were detained by the Yamen of the Governor of Shandong and the Yamen of the General Army, and more than two million taels of tax silver and millions of stone of grain were all stuck on the canal from Dongchang Mansion to Jining Mansion, and no ships were allowed to go south, and there were local garrisons in Shandong everywhere along the canal......"

Zhu Jie's heart was suddenly shocked, no wonder he hadn't gotten the news of Caoyun, it turned out that all the Caoyun ships were detained in Shandong!

"Bastard! Fang Dayou and Liu Zeqing, what are you doing here? Are they crazy? ”

Zhu Jie shouted angrily.

"Your Majesty, Liu Zeqing has never received enough military salaries from the imperial court since a few years ago in Shandong, and the arrears have become more and more serious, resulting in low morale and slackened armaments.

Gao Jie replied in a deep voice.

Defend the whole territory of Shandong?

In Zhu Jie's opinion, this is a joke, if Liu Zeqing has this loyalty and courage, it would be good, he just doesn't want these two million taels of silver to be worth it, but whether this kid is fighting bandits or fighting against Jiannu, when did he make a contribution? It's just a wallgrass!

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid things are a little bad......"

Sun Chuanting's face was gloomy, and he said in a low voice, "I'm not afraid that Liu Zeqing will withhold the imperial court taxes, if it's just a matter of reprimanding him strictly, and send someone to personally supervise the transportation of taxes to the south, I'm afraid, this Liu Zeqing has bad intentions, if Fang Dayou and Liu Zeqing rebel, then the whole Shandong will be in danger......"

Zhu Jie's pupils widened suddenly, and he shouted: "Someone who came immediately passed the decree, and ordered Qin Mufeng, Zhong Yue and Shu Xinchen to enter the palace quickly!" ”

The eunuch outside hurriedly agreed, and hurriedly went down to deliver the decree.

Zhu Jie's heart was heavy, and he said astringently: "Bai Gu, if it is really Liu Zeqing and Fang Dayou who rebelled, it's not good, come here, immediately go and get Xu Yifan's recital!" ”

Zhu Jie's face changed suddenly, it was no longer as heavy as just now, but it was shaken, and the thing he was most worried about was about to happen!

The attendants on the side hurriedly took all the pieces that Xu Yifan had sent in recent days.

Zhu Jie picked out one of them and hurriedly opened it, Sun Chuanting came over and asked urgently, "Your Majesty, what's wrong?" ”

Zhu Jie's face was a little pale, he handed the chapter to Sun Chuanting, and said astringently: "Xu Yifan played a few days ago, and he has mobilized Liu Zeqing's Shandong Town to move towards Dezhou and Dongchang, trying to cooperate with the Tianwei Army to jointly protect the Daimyofu, Dongchang, and Dezhou line, and trap the main force of the Qing Army in the territory of Zhili, if Liu Zeqing rebels at this time, doesn't that mean that the Tianwei Army is in danger?" ”

Syllable!

Sun Chuanting's hands were loosened, and the music had already fallen to the ground, a catastrophe, a catastrophe! It's a dead knot that won't get past it! Once Liu Zeqing rebelled and stabbed the Tianwei army in the back, the Tianwei army was really going to be finished, just the Manchurian elite cavalry and the Guanning iron cavalry had already made the Tianwei army Alexander, and at this time Shandong Town rebelled, that was to add fuel to the fire!

"Your Majesty, we must make arrangements immediately, the Tianwei army must not be defeated, once the Tianwei army is defeated, it is not only Zhili, Shandong, Henan, Shanxi, Shaanxi, and even the entire north of the Huai River will not be guaranteed......"

Even Sun Chuanting's generation of famous generals, who have been through the wind and waves for a long time, are now in their voices, and they are already anxious!

"Hopefully, hopefully we'll still be in time to ......"

Zhu Jie smiled bitterly: "Immediately draft the order, seven hundred miles to expedit, give the order to Xu Yifan, and be careful to prevent Liu Zeqing from rebelling, if the time is too late and the Dongchang Mansion in Dezhou falls, then allow the Tianwei army to retreat south, retreat to Kaifeng Mansion, preserve strength, and stick to the Yellow River......"

Sun Chuanting said bitterly: "Your Majesty, what about Shandong, we just watched Shandong fall? Where is our two or three million taels of silver, and millions of stone of grain, we, we can't afford to lose it now......"

Zhu Jie said fiercely: "Think beautifully, Lao Tzu just burned all of them for him, and he must not be cheap, Liu Zeqing of the dog day dares to rebel, I guarantee that he will not live for more than two months!" ”

While the two were talking, Qin Mufeng, Zhong Yue, and Shu Xinchen came to the palace almost at the same time.

"Your Majesty, we just returned to the three towns of Nanjing, and we didn't even have time to drink a glass of water, so we were called back by you, what's the matter, what's the urgency?"

Qin Mufeng asked.

Zhu Jie said in a deep voice: "Mu Feng, there is really an urgent matter this time, haven't you always wanted to send troops?" This time I have granted your wish! ”

Qin Mufeng looked stunned and said in amazement: "Your Majesty, didn't you say that the time is not yet ripe, let me wait patiently?" ”

"Can't wait!"

Gao Jie said in a deep voice: "Mu Feng, I just got the information, a large number of ships of the imperial court were all detained in Shandong by Fang Dayou and Liu Zeqing, and none of them crossed Jining, these two bastards, it is very likely that there will be a rebellion against the water and surrendered to the Manchu Dynasty......"

Qin Mufeng's heart was shocked, but he knew that those in Shandong were all Jiangnan taxes, worth more than four million taels of silver, and they definitely couldn't afford to lose, "Brother Gao, are you sure that Liu Zeqing is going to rebel?" ”

"Nine times out of ten, but we definitely can't afford to take this risk, Mu Feng, once Liu Zeqing rebels, the whole of Shandong will fall into the hands of the Manchurian Tartars, and when the time comes, the Tianwei Army will be alone in the Daimyo Mansion, it will be really dangerous, and it is possible that even Shandong, Henan, and even Fengyang will fall into the hands of the Manchurian Tartars......"

Zhu Jie said in a deep voice: "Mu Feng, I will let you lead the right town of Nanjing to Shandong north, if Liu Zeqing rebels, then let me kill Liu Zeqing directly, is it difficult?" ”

Qin Mufeng's chest straightened, and he said loudly: "Don't worry, the emperor, don't you know the minister?" A little Liu Zeqing is just a little one, even if he meets Wu Sangui, the minister will clean him up and obey him! ”

"Good!"

Zhu Jie shouted: "The proposed decree, with Qin Mufeng as the squire of the military department, the governor of Jiangsu and Shandong wars, and the supervision of Caoyun, you can act cheaply, immediately rectify the right town of Nanjing, and send out the division in three days, and immediately spread my will, allocate a musket battalion of 1,000 people, which is also under your control, and go north quickly!" ”

"Minister Qin Mufeng obeys the order!"

"Zhong Yue, the defense of Gyeonggi will be handed over to you for the time being, and the military affairs will be rectified, we will not be able to stay in Nanjing for a few days, perhaps, the decisive battle in the Central Plains will be advanced!"
