In the Huamachi camp, Zhao Junchen can be regarded as making countless enemies, he has killed the former chief soldier of the Huamachi camp, Shi Song, the current governor of the three sides of the house arrest, Wang Zheng, and also took away the military power of all the military attaches in the Huamachi camp.

The status of the Huamachi camp is very important, not only the core and hub of the northwest frontier defense, but also the hoarding of a large amount of grain, grass and ordnance, and at the critical moment, there is also the power to control the civil and military officials in various places, which can be said to affect the whole body, once there is a change in the Huamachi camp, the entire northwest frontier defense will be affected.

Zhao Junchen's character has always been cautious and cautious, in this case, it is natural to leave a back hand, just in case, before he led the troops to leave the Huamachi camp, he left a lot of dark chess and eyeliner inside the Huamachi camp, responsible for monitoring the movement and controlling the situation.

At the same time, because Zhao Junchen was fighting thousands of miles and his whereabouts were uncertain, the letters sent to Zhao Junchen by all parties during this time were also gathered in Huamachi Camp, and the contents of these letters involved many confidential matters, and they must also be kept by cronies.

After Zhao Junchen led the army back to the Huamachi camp, taking advantage of Zhao Junchen's opportunity to take a break, Su Xiqing ran to contact those dark chess and eyeliner.

At this time, Su Xiqing hurriedly returned to Zhao Junchen and handed Zhao Junchen two secret letters, one from the Zhao Mansion in the capital, and the other from Xu Qingyan.

After Zhao Junchen stretched out his hand to take the two secret letters, he lowered his head and examined several secret notes on the secret letters in detail, and asked: "In the days when I led the troops to leave the Huamachi camp, were there any changes in the parties in the Huamachi camp?" ”

Previously, Zhao Junchen also asked Zheng Yu, the acting general of the Huamachi Battalion, the same question, Zheng Yu just avoided the important and said some obedient words, to the effect that everyone in the Huamachi Battalion was united under Zhao Junchen's wise command and conscientiously acted faithfully according to Zhao Junchen's instructions, and Zhao Junchen naturally would not believe it all.

Sure enough, Zhao Junchen heard a completely different answer from Su Xiqing.

I saw Su Xiqing sneering disdainfully, and said: "Lord Qiqi, the most important thing is the matter of Wang Zheng, the governor of the three sides. When you were in the Huamachi camp, this Wang Zheng was quite honest, but he was obediently placed under house arrest in the governor's palace and did not dare to make any changes, thinking that he had completely accepted his fate......

But the villain just received the news from the eyeliner, since you led the army to leave the Huamachi camp, this Wang Zheng can no longer sit still, not only to go around in tandem to take back the authority, but also to encourage military attaches from all over the country to disobey the military order, intending to sabotage your plan to destroy Mongolia, and want to put all his blame on others, and sent more than ten secret letters to the capital in a row, the content of which is about the impeachment of your ......"

Zhao Junchen was not surprised, and said indifferently: "This is also expected, Wang Zheng was deeply trusted by His Majesty in the past, and he was a cadre of the 'Imperial Party', but after he became the governor of the three sides, not only did he not give His Majesty a face, but instead made a matter of appeasement and begging for peace from the imperial court and the Mongols, which made His Majesty and the 'Imperial Party' lose face, how could Your Majesty spare him?" …… During this period of time, the person in the world who most wants me to lose to the Mongol coalition army is probably Wang Zheng! ”

Su Xiqing's expression became more and more disdainful, and he nodded: "Who can't guess Wang Zheng's thoughts of these villains?"

In his opinion, if you are finally defeated by the Mongol coalition army, it means that the Mongol coalition army is indeed unstoppable, and his begging and appeasement are forced and excusable, and the world will only accuse your lord of your defeat at that time, and he will not take into account Wang Zheng's various crimes, which is naturally the best situation for him; But if you finally defeat the Mongol coalition army, Wang Zheng's crime of appeasement and begging for peace will no longer have any excuse, and the governors of various places will still have the opportunity to atone for their crimes, but Wang Zheng will not be able to escape His Majesty's wrath and heavy punishment no matter what......

So he must be wishing that you were defeated by the Mongol coalition army, and the worse the defeat, the better, naturally there are small actions! But just for his own selfish interests, he wants to bury the good situation of the entire northwest frontier, and this person's pattern and mentality are really contemptible! ”

Su Xiqing's statement can be said to be thorough of Wang Zheng's thoughts, but Zhao Junchen is noncommittal, because Zhao Junchen thinks that if he changes places, he may not be much more noble than Wang Zheng, so he didn't comment, just asked: "Wang Zheng's small actions, have you received any results?" Can military attachés from all over the world respond to his agitation? And what about the secrets he impeached me? ”

Su Xiqing replied: "Your lordship, your prestige on the three sides of Shaanxi and Gansu is getting stronger, and the military attaches in various places naturally do not dare to respond to Wang Zheng's agitation easily...... As for Wang Zheng's impeachment secrets, the people below did not dare to intercept them at will, but according to your original instructions, they delayed it for a few days, and did not send these secrets to the capital until the Weishui news spread all over the world. ”

Zhao Junchen nodded and said: "Wang Zheng's actions are just the dying struggle of the clown, he will soon be punished as he deserves, and under the wrath of His Majesty, it will inevitably end badly, but there is no need to deliberately ignore it...... However, these small actions of his can also be a reason for me to further establish my authority in the Shaanxi-Gansu border, and you have sent people to collect evidence of his encouragement to disobey military orders in various places these days, and the governors of various places will soon gather in the Huamachi camp, and I will use them then. ”

Hearing Zhao Junchen's order, a trace of excitement flashed in Su Xiqing's eyes, and he hurriedly responded.

*

As he spoke, Zhao Junchen had already checked all the secret notes on the two secret letters, and made sure that the two secret letters had not been opened by anyone else.

Then, Zhao Junchen opened the secret letter and carefully reviewed it.

Zhao Junchen first opened the secret letter sent by the Zhao Mansion in the capital.

Because the capital and Shaanxi and Gansu are separated by thousands of miles, the content of the news in the secret letter is inevitably a little lagging behind.

This secret letter was written by Fang Ru himself, and there was a lot of content in it, involving all aspects of the capital, but most of it was news from a month ago, according to time estimates, when Fang Ru wrote this secret letter, the center of the capital should have just received Zhao Junchen's request to recover the secret of the Hetao.

In this secret letter, it was first mentioned that Zhang Yuer had now returned to the capital to govern; Secondly, it introduces the movements and reactions of the various factions in the temple during this period, which focuses on the attacks of the various factions on the 'Zhao Party' and the actions of Emperor Deqing who wanted to use Zuolan Mountain to split the 'Zhao Party'; then the progress of Zhao Junchen's plans during this period of time, and finally talks about the fact that the famous doctor Zhang Decheng will soon arrive at the Huamachi camp.

After reading Fang Ru's secret letter, Zhao Junchen nodded lightly, his expression was impassive.

In fact, most of the situations mentioned in the secret letter were within Zhao Junchen's expectations, and there was no need for Zhao Junchen to deliberately make arrangements and adjustments.

For example, the repeated attacks on the "Zhao Party" by various factions in the DPRK and China during this period of time, as well as the prevention and suppression of Zhao Junchen by Emperor Deqing, these news seem to be of great importance and urgency, and it can be expected that by the time Zhao Junchen returns to the capital, the "Zhao Party" will inevitably have suffered heavy losses, and perhaps there will be important core officials of the "Zhao Party" who have been dismissed from office, but Zhao Junchen is still sitting firmly in Diaoyutai after receiving the news and does not plan to take any action.

Zhao Junchen is too far away from the capital to accurately understand the situation, and there is a significant lag in message transmission, and the situation in the capital is complex and changeable.

What's more, these are all losses that Zhao Junchen had predicted long ago before he left Beijing, and they are all within the range of Zhao Junchen's bearing, and now with the dust of the war on the three sides of Shaanxi and Gansu, Zhao Junchen's prestige and momentum have risen sharply, and the importance of the "Zhao Party" to Zhao Junchen has been greatly reduced, and it is not worth Zhao Junchen's investment too much energy at this time.

The most important thing is that under Zhao Junchen's covert operation, the financial revenue of the imperial court has certainly increased greatly during this period of time - this is also the source of Zhao Junchen's political achievements - but the fiscal expenditure has also become more, and the overall situation is still not spending, so Zhao Junchen determined that the center of the court and Emperor Deqing are still inseparable from themselves, and will eventually compromise with themselves, so these losses are also recoverable, even if there are important "Zhao Party" officials who have been dismissed from office, After Zhao Junchen returns to Beijing, he can still easily turn the situation around.

In fact, among the several contents of Fang Ru's secret letter, Zhao Junchen paid more attention to the news that the famous doctor Zhang Decheng was about to arrive in Huamachi Camp.

Zhao Junchen knows very well that his body is now on the verge of its limit due to overwork, and he is always tired and sick during this time, and he may get sick at some point.

For example, now, after Zhao Junchen returned to Huamachi Camp, he had obviously rested for a while, but he only summoned a few officials to talk, and he already felt that his energy was low and his mind was dizzy.

Zhao Junchen is a person who cherishes his life, so he naturally hopes that he can be healed by Zhang Decheng as soon as possible.

So, Zhao Junchen raised his head and asked Su Xiqing, "Doctor Zhang Dechengzhang has arrived at Huamachi Camp now?" ”

Su Xiqing didn't know the content of the secret letter, and said with a puzzled face: "Doctor Zhang is coming to Huamachi Camp?" The villain did not receive the message. ”

Zhao Junchen asked again: "When was this secret letter from the Zhao Mansion delivered to Huamachi Camp?" ”

Su Xiqing immediately replied: "Lord Qiqi, this secret letter was sent to Huamachi Camp five days ago. ”

Zhao Junchen nodded lightly and ordered: "According to the secret letter, Doctor Zhang and the messenger left the capital almost at the same time to come to Huamachi Camp, the messenger is fast and fast, day and night, naturally the journey is faster, but I estimated the time, Doctor Zhang should have arrived at Huamachi Camp in the past two days, you send someone to pay more attention, once Doctor Zhang arrived at Huamachi Camp, don't have any delay, bring him to see me immediately." ”

Su Xiqing also understood Zhao Junchen's physical condition, and hurriedly nodded in agreement.

Thinking that he would soon be healed by the divine doctor Zhang Decheng, Zhao Junchen's spirit lifted slightly, and then he opened the secret letter sent by Xu Qingyan.

In this secret letter, Xu Qingyan said that he had rescued the old Liang Fuchen from the "horse bandits", and mentioned that Liang Fuchen was now rushing to the Huamachi camp.

After seeing Xu Qingyan's secret letter, Zhao Junchen's expression was much more serious.

After thinking seriously for a moment, Zhao Junchen raised his head and asked, "When was Xu Qingyan's secret letter delivered to Huamachi Camp?" ”

Su Xiqing replied again: "This secret letter has been delivered to Huamachi Camp for a short time, and it was just delivered yesterday. ”

Zhao Junchen pondered for a moment before he opened his mouth and ordered: "Next, there are a few things that must be arranged as soon as possible!" First of all, he ordered Niu Fude to sort out the list of military merits of the low-level soldiers of the new army before tomorrow, and secondly, he ordered all the officers and men of the new army to go to the military playground at three o'clock tomorrow, they will be the first batch of troops to receive the reward, and Ben Qin will personally award them with a silver medal for military merit; In the end, the confiscated property of the Wang family has been filled into the arsenal of the Huamachi camp, you go and take out 500,000 taels of silver, and I will use it tomorrow when I reward the soldiers! ”

After hearing Zhao Junchen's order, Su Xiqing seemed to have guessed something, his eyes flashed slightly, and he replied with a serious expression: "The villain is going to give the order!" ”

After speaking, Su Xiqing immediately turned around and left.

*

Compared with the commendations and rewards of middle and high-level civil and military officials, the rewards and rewards of low-level soldiers are not too particular, and there is no need for Zhao Junchen to spend effort to prepare for meritorious work, nor does he need to wait for the decision of the imperial court, Zhao Junchen can make a decision on his own.

At this time, Zhao Junchen suddenly decided to personally reward the low-level soldiers of the new army, in addition to further buying the hearts of the army, it was also to prepare for the next step of disbanding the new army!

Zhao Junchen knew very well that the New Army of Soldiers, as a strong army formed by himself, could not be retained in any case after the end of the war, and in order to suppress Zhao Junchen's influence in the army, the imperial court would inevitably disband the New Army in the future, no matter how meritorious the New Army was, it would not be able to reverse the situation.

In this case, Zhao Junchen thought that he might as well take the initiative to disband the new army, but he could still grasp a certain initiative.

Now, with the end of the Weishui War, the border armies in various places have suffered heavy casualties, a large number of military attaches have died on the battlefield, many armies are facing the situation of being leaderless, and many armies have been eliminated in formation, which is a great opportunity for Zhao Junchen.

After Zhao Junchen rewarded the low-level soldiers of the new army, most of these low-level soldiers will be promoted to middle- and lower-level military attachés, which can also fill the vacancies of these military attachés who died in battle.

At that time, Zhao Junchen's control over the major military towns in Shaanxi and Gansu will also be on a higher level.

And all this had to be done before Liang Fuchen arrived at the Huamachi camp.

After all, Liang Fuchen is a justifiable all-powerful minister, and when he arrives at Huamachi Camp, he will take over all military and political affairs.

During the May Day holiday, the bugs will be updated stably.
