Hearing this, Zhou Yuji couldn't help but look at him with wide eyes, and then shook his head and said, "I'm not available!" ”

"......" When Wu Sangui heard this, he suddenly felt angry in his heart, and he refused to help after receiving the money?

However, he understands very well that what is the use of being angry? The most important thing at the moment is to first tie up with the rejuvenating of the country, and then get rid of the crime.

Therefore, he didn't dare to show the anger in his heart, but this kind of thing was still done very little, not as natural as his father, and his face was somewhat embarrassed.

At this moment, I heard Zhou Yuji say to him, "Guogong people are very good, if you have any ideas, you might as well go directly to Guogong!" ”

"Isn't that nonsense! Guogong is of course a very good person to you! When Wu Sangui heard this, he was speechless.

But when it came to this, he couldn't continue to pester Zhou Yuji, so he had to leave.

Looking up at the moonlight, Wu Sangui was a little worried in his heart, if after dawn tomorrow, Xingguo Gongsheng Hall made a decision, it would be good not to punish himself, but if he was punished, it would be too late.

Thinking so, he went to the side of Qin Cha Xingyuan, thinking in his heart, why don't you just go to Xingguo Gong directly!

Thinking like this, he walked to the place where Qin Cha Xingyuan was, but before Wu Sangui could make up his mind, he saw a person swaggering out of it.

A little familiar, and when he looked closely, although the moonlight was not very bright, he recognized the bright light of the lantern.

So, he immediately took a few steps forward, and when the man was a little farther away from Qin's errand, he stopped him and said, "Wang Pu, why are you so happy?" ”

This person is Wang Pu, the chief soldier of Datong, and when he saw someone stopping him for questioning, he also recognized it as Wu Sangui, so he said proudly, "Hehe, if you don't lend me money, I'll be fine!" ”

"What?" When Wu Sangui heard this, he was immediately surprised, this general who ran away was the first to escape, and he was all right?

He was really curious, so he hurriedly asked, "What did the Duke of Guo say?" ”

"Not really." When Wang Pu heard this, he immediately shook his head, and then said excitedly, "But Guogong has already accepted my gift, so doesn't that mean he agreed!" ”

"Really? How many did you send? Wu Sangui was pleasantly surprised when he heard it, if it was something that could be solved with money, it wouldn't be a thing.

"One hundred thousand taels!" Wang Pu listened, stretched out his hand and replied.

"One hundred thousand taels?" When Wu Sangui heard this, his face suddenly sank and said, "Don't come to entertain me, where did you get the 100,000 taels?" ”

He remembered clearly that this Wang Pu wanted to borrow money from him before!

"I don't have it now, but I have it in Datong!" Wang Pu looked at Wu Sangui like a fool and said, "I only have five thousand taels on hand, and then I made an IOU to Guogong, isn't this one hundred thousand taels!" ”

"What? An IOU to the national government? Wu Sangui refreshed his cognition when he heard it again, and confirmed in an incredulous tone.

"What, can't you?" When Wang Pu heard this, he was immediately unhappy, "I promised Guogong that when I return to Datong, I will cash the money for this IOU!" ”

After finishing speaking, maybe he was a little annoyed with Wu Sangui, he didn't want to say it anymore, so he went straight away!

Wu Sangui didn't stop him again, but was shocked by Wang Pu's incident, and was still thinking about it in his heart.

100,000 taels were given to Xingguo Gong, of which 95,000 taels were IOUs. Unexpectedly, Guogong actually accepted it! Although he didn't give a promise on the spot, he actually said something after receiving the money!

Wu Sangui was a little excited when he thought of this.

As soon as Xingguo Gong arrived at Shanhaiguan, he did not immediately shout and shout to kill, nor did he take people. Now that I think about it, is this a waiting price to sell?

The blame for this battle of Songjin, anyway, can be blamed on Hong Chengchou and Chen Xinjia. And these general soldiers, the court must continue to use them, there can be no multiple punishments, at most it is to kill chickens and monkeys, and it is great to take one person to open the knife.

Who, then, would be the unlucky one?

Wu Sangui thought so in his heart, and immediately knew that if he wanted to talk about the biggest crime, it must be Wang Pu, who escaped first, and he still had a criminal record. But he spent 100,000 yuan to buy peace, so it was better for him to be the same, or more. In this way, under the same conditions, it is naturally still businesslike!

Thinking like this, he made a decision in his heart, and immediately went back to his house to withdraw money.

………………

The next day, there was no movement at all, the sun had risen high, but I heard that the prince of Xingguo had not gotten up yet.

Up and down, all of them were paying attention to the Qin Mission, and seeing this situation, some people were happy and some were disappointed. In private, there are a lot of discussions.

"It seems that this Xingguo Gong and the previous ones are the same thing, alas!"

"Yes, at first, I heard that this Xingguo Gong seemed to be a clean official, and I thought that after coming to Shanhaiguan, he would definitely act vigorously and punish those people, but the result was good, there was no movement! More than 100,000 people, the dead died, the descended, it really didn't make any sense! ”

"Don't you know? It is said that someone has already sent money to the Qincha Xingyuan! ”

"Alas, it is a dream to want the officials to administer justice to us! Those adults in the court are all goods who see money! ”

“……”

Originally, the morale of the Ming army was low because of a big defeat and the loss of Jinzhou and other places. Now, when the imperial court arrived, they found that nothing had been done, which made their morale even lower.

And those who were officials, especially those with relatively high official ranks, who were responsible for this war, were excited.

"I'm really scared to death, I heard that this grandfather didn't recognize his six relatives before, but fortunately he also recognized Brother Kong Fang, now it's stable!"

"Come to think of it, who is not an official nowadays for money? When doing things in the court, the price is clearly marked, how good can this Xingguo Gong be? ”

"yes, I was really shocked when I heard the rumors at first. Now that I think about it, in fact, I am just excluding dissidents in the name of punishing corruption! ”

“……”

By the evening, Zhang Mingwei did not hold a meeting, and he did not even take a step out. However, he was very clear about the discussion outside. He didn't mind at all.

At this point, he was sitting there in a meeting with a few of his henchmen.

"See, the military leaders at this time are all rich!" Zhang Mingwei took a piece of paper from Zhu Yujiao's hand, looked at the words recorded on it and read it to them, "Wu Sangui, I sent 110,000 taels, plus 1,000 taels for Lao Zhou, which cost him 111,000 taels of silver." ”

"And this Wang Pu, it's even more funny, he even gave me a white slip!"

“……”

After reading it, he threw the paper on the table, and then said, "These six general soldiers have all sent money, among which Wu Sangui has the most, but he also has the most requests. still want me to transfer him to Shanhaiguan as a chief soldier, which is consistent with what Chen Xinjia said before, so anxious to change, it seems that he is afraid that Ning Yuan will become the second Jinzhou! ”

The others listened, but did not answer. This kind of thing is actually not uncommon, but it is a shame to say it!

Zhang Mingwei then picked up another piece of information, looked at the words on it and said, "Among the six general soldiers, some of them came from the thieves, some of them took advantage of their family connections to rise to the top, and some of them rose step by step by virtue of their military merits. For their previous records, there is only this Wang Pu, hehe......"

He sneered, it was really this Wang Pu, who didn't have a good record at all, but ran away repeatedly. The most serious one before was when Chongzhen followed Lu Xiangsheng to fight against Jianyu in the eleventh year, and this goods escaped from the battle.

Now in the battle of Songjin this time, it is rumored that this cargo was the first to escape, which triggered a chain reaction, and the other five general soldiers also fled. Only Cao Bianjiao and they kept Hong Chengchou from retreating, and in the end they were betrayed by traitors and opened the city gate, but Cao Bianjiao still preferred to die rather than surrender.

When Zhang Mingwei was almost finished, Yan Yingyuan hugged his fists and said, "My lord, the last general went outside today, the morale of the army is very low, people are panicking, and many people are worried that Jianyu will come over." Although the governor of Liaodong rushed to build a city in Ningyuan and went to Xiujuehua Island, not many people were optimistic that Ningyuan would be able to prevent Jianjian from being captured. And...... And ......"

"And what? Don't spit on it, just say it! When Zhang Mingwei heard this, he said dissatisfiedly.

As soon as Yan Yingyuan heard this, he immediately replied, "And the last general feels that if it weren't for the fact that everyone here has a blood feud with Jianyu, I'm afraid many people would want to go over." At least on the Jianyu side, there are always some benefits to be gained by making military achievements, but on this side, even having enough to eat is a problem. My lord, if this situation is not changed, Shanhaiguan will fall sooner or later. ”

He was afraid that Zhang Mingwei would not believe it, so he immediately added, "In this war, General Wu's army was wiped out, and after fleeing back, he was recruiting troops and horses, and the promise given was just to promise to eat well, and he had already pulled up a lot of people." ”

"Yes, my lord, at this time, especially if you don't change this situation under such a big defeat, the hearts of the people and the army will be scattered!" The white-haired old man also said with emotion, "Xiaguan also took a turn outside today, and went out of Shanhaiguan to take a look, and the situation in the guards is not optimistic. As soon as Jinzhou is lost, Ningyuan is the front line, and the military households have no intention of having land, and they all say that even if they plant, they will only build cheaply. In this way, the food problem will be a big problem. ”

Zhang Mingwei listened, but did not speak, but listened to them tell everything they had seen and heard. It wasn't until the end that he nodded and said, "Okay, for the situation here in Shanhaiguan, it's basically counted." There is no need to continue to observe, if the hearts of the people are scattered, it will be difficult to lead the team. Starting tomorrow, let's do what I said before! ”

Hearing that he had made a decision, several people present immediately responded solemnly, "Obey!" ”
