Cao Wenzhao said, "Shaobao, there are still many soldiers from the major battalions rushing to Taiyuan, in order to prevent the rogues from taking the opportunity to make trouble, the last general suggested that Shaobao immediately issue a military order, so that all the large battalions on the three sides are on standby and must not move without permission."

Qin Shuhuai nodded and said, "General Cao is right, I'll order someone to do it." After speaking, he shouted out of the door again, "Jingting!"

Li Jingting immediately came in and said, "What do you command?"

"Go and draw up a few notices for the security army, and issue them to the major battalions in the name of the trilateral assistant Qincha, and not a single one is allowed to be missed. If you don't know how many big battalions there are on the three sides, you can ask General Chu. ”

"The last general obeys!"

After Li Jingting went out, He Huchen said, "My lord, you also need to be prepared for the major battalions that have already set off. They should arrive soon when they are close, and they can arrive after dawn in the distance, and then there will be soldiers everywhere around Taiyuan City, which will cause panic among the people, and secondly, it will not be good for the battalions to accidentally cause conflicts between them. ”

Qin Shuhuai was as good as a stream, and nodded again, "That's right." However, I have already asked General Chu to coordinate the troops and horses outside the city. In addition, Hong Chengchou will rush to Taiyuan City after dawn, and the affairs outside the city will be handed over to him. ”

When the three of them heard that Hong Chengchou had also rushed to help Qin Shuhuai, they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, it turned out that they had already prepared, and even Hong Chengchou had recruited him in advance. If the Donglin Party wants to fight with this demon of the Ming Dynasty, I am afraid that there is really no chance of winning.

At this time, I only heard someone outside the door report, "My lord, Hong Chengchou, the governor of Shaanxi, has rushed to the south of the city with 10,000 troops. ”

Qin Shuhuai said in surprise, "Oh? so fast. ”

Then he said to the three of them, "Three generals, please sit down for a while, and I will come as soon as I go." ”

With that, he immediately went out and rode his horse and ran to the south gate.

The three people in the room were all stunned, and Lord Qincha personally ran outside the city to greet them? Shouldn't Hong Chengchou come to see him himself?

On the south side of the gate, Chu Fu was so busy that even when Hong Chengchou came, he could only let his soldiers stay aside first.

Don't blame Chu Fu, so many troops came to Taiyuan City at once, and they all had to rely on him to dispatch, how could he be busy?

Originally, there were still about 10,000 soldiers stationed in the city, but the problem was that there were 30,000 or 40,000 soldiers outside the city, and everyone knew that it was warm in the city, so he had to be scolded for letting any battalion of soldiers enter the city, right?

In the end, he had to decide that no army was allowed to enter, and Lao Tzu was allowed to stay outside the city. But the problem came again, these soldiers came in a hurry, and the baggage of the camp tents and the like was pitiful, everyone cared about Chu Fu asking for camp tents, but how could there be so many camp tents in the city?

Qin Shuhuai arrived at the south gate and happened to meet Hong Chengchou.

"Xiaguan Hong Chengchou paid a visit to Lord Qincha. ”

"Hong Futai is exempt from courtesy. By the way, why did you do it so quickly?"

Hong Chengchou smiled, "Xia Guan is afraid that he won't be able to help if it's late." However, even if he arrived more than an hour early, it didn't seem to be of much help. Qin Shaobao is resolute and resolute, and he will win, and the lower officials admire him. ”

Qin Shuhuai said with a smile, "Hong Futai don't say these unseemly words. It's just right that you're here now, look at this chaotic Taiyuan City, if you don't come, I really don't know what to do. ”

Hong Chengchou said with a smile, "Xia Guan expected this. Don't worry, let's go and straighten out the inner city. As for the outside of the city, leave it to the lower officials. ”

Qin Shuhuai nodded, "Okay, there will be Master Lao Hong." ”

Then he called Chu Fu and introduced him to Hong Chengchou, saying that Hong Chengchou would lead the placement of officers and soldiers outside the city next. Hong Chengchou is the governor of Shaanxi, and his grade is higher than Chu Fu, so he naturally has nothing to say to lead Chu Fu, not only has nothing to say, but also breathes a sigh of relief.

Hong Chengchou really has a way.

Originally, only 10,000 soldiers could be stationed in the city, but he doubled it and let 20,000 soldiers be stationed, as for the lack of space, he didn't care, the original space for one person was squeezed by two people, and he couldn't go if he liked it. These Qiu Ba were frozen half dead outside the city, and of course they still rushed to enter the city. So he summoned the adjutant generals of the major battalions and asked them to draw lots, and whoever caught them could lead troops into the city for repairs.

After that, he asked his soldiers to take out the tents. He had foreseen this situation when he came, so he prepared a lot of tents. In order to transport these tents without delaying the journey, he almost took out all the horses of Hancheng to pull the tents.

However, there were still not enough tents, and there were about 6,000 people to sleep in the open. So he took turns patrolling, or drawing lots, which Qian always caught the patrol paper sign and led the troops to patrol, changing shifts every hour and a half.

There was another purpose for these patrolling soldiers, that is, to "receive" other small groups of officers and soldiers who came one after another. These officers and soldiers are relatively small in scale, easy to bully, those who can be persuaded to return, those who cannot be persuaded to return should find a place against the city wall and build a bonfire to deal with, at most one person will send a cake, what do you like, don't make trouble and don't freeze to death.

Soon, there was calm outside the city.

However, Qin Shuhuai didn't know all this, and after giving the city diplomacy to Hong Chengchou, he returned to the Governor's Mansion and continued to discuss the follow-up plan with Du Wenhuan, He Huchen and Cao Wenzhao.

Putting aside Gao Yingxiang in Shaanxi, the first thing Qin Shuhuai had to deal with was Zhang Xianzhong in Shanxi.

Historically, Zhang Xianzhong was known as the Murder Demon King, and legend has it that after he entered Sichuan, the population of Sichuan plummeted to one-tenth of the original size, the so-called ten rooms and nine emptiness. Although this statement is a bit exaggerated, because according to common sense, the army depends on the people to feed, and Zhang Xianzhong did not need to kill so many people to starve the army.

But Zhang Xianzhong's love for rich households to accumulate wealth must be true, otherwise the future would not have found him so much gold and silver in the Yangtze River.

In short, this Zhang Xianzhong is a rogue, who is mainly engaged in murder and robbery, and now the harm to the people is far greater than that of Gao Yingxiang, who is determined to be in the world and has a relatively mild policy, so Qin Shuhuai plans to kill him first. Of course, there is another reason, because of the story of Jiangkou Shenyin, Qin Shuhuai always feels that this guy is very rich, and wants to grab some money from him.

Cao Wenzhao and the other three had no objection to Qin Shuhuai's plan, so the four of them made a plan to completely encircle and suppress Zhang Xianzhong.

According to the plan, the troops of Cao Wenzhao, Du Wenhuan, and He Huchen all advanced southward and were stationed in Jiaokou, Pingyao, and Wuxiang counties, which were very close to the Jinnan area where Zhang Xianzhong often frequented.

But the question is, where Zhang Xianzhong's nest is, the officials and soldiers do not know now. Judging from Wang Baochang's ambush, Zhang Xianzhong set up countless eyeliners in southern Jinnan, and if the official army marched on a large scale, he would inevitably flee when he heard the news.

In this regard, Qin Shuhuai only smiled faintly and said, "The three generals only need to arrive at the designated place to station first, and as for other problems, they will be solved by Ben Qincha." ”

When the three of them saw that Qin Shuhuai looked confident, they didn't say anything more and immediately took orders.

The meeting dispersed, and Qin Shuhuai arranged a room for each of them to rest.

By this time, the sky was already faintly bright.

Qin Shuhuai called Li Jingting and asked him to write a secret recital, which mainly mentioned five points.

First, tell Chongzhen that the military power of the three sides has been completely in his hands, but in order to make the generals of the three sides completely dead to Donglin, Chongzhen should immediately make a gesture of suppressing Donglin and echo him from afar.

Second, Donglin may have a great backlash, he suggested that Chongzhen use procrastination in everything, and Donglin said that he would not object to it or do it.

Third, secretly looking for candidates, preparing to start Jingcha in advance, and when the time is ripe, a large-scale purge of the Donglin Party in the name of Jingcha will be carried out.

Fourth, it is imperative to immediately transfer the Ningjun army into Beijing to prevent any changes in Gyeonggi.

Fifth, let the factory guards closely monitor the governors of various places, and if there is indeed an attempt to rebel, it is recommended not to arrest them, but to assassinate them at the right time.

In short, at this stage, the Donglin Party should be mainly suppressed, and it is not appropriate to high-profile suppression, because the reputation of these Donglin Party people is now very good, and if Chongzhen is presumptuously suppressed, Chongzhen will be very passive in public opinion, and everyone in the civil service will be in danger. Qin Shuhuai had already thought of a set of ways to make Donglin stink, and he could implement it when he returned from the three sides.

After writing, he asked Li Jingting to set off immediately with the secret music and rushed to the capital to face the emperor.

The sky was exposed to the white belly of the fish, and Qin Shuhuai, who had been tired for a day, lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
