At the end of March of the eighth year of Chongzhen, Datong, Dingguo Mansion.

"......, the 36th battalion of rogue forces headed by Wang Ziyong, after this battle, was completely split, of which Zhang Xianzhong and Gao Yingxiang were stationed in the north and south of Huguang, and Wang Ziyong, Chongguangdao, He Jin, He Yilong and other parts were scattered in Shandong, Henan, Nanzhili and other places, according to the inherent mode of aggression, the rogue forces sank to all parts of the Ming Dynasty, causing deep damage to the gentry group, if it continues to be suppressed according to this intensity, it will make the gentry group unable to raise their heads for a long time."

Since the Liukou forces, expelled from Shanxi by Zhao Zongwu, Jinyiwei has placed many secret agents in it, after these years of development, some secret agents have climbed to the middle and high-level positions of the Liukou group, after the creation of the secretary superintendent, Zhao Zongwu also passed through the secretary superintendent, sent a group of outstanding graduates (mainly the Changshan orphan camp), to go to the place where the Liukou forces want to attack, so as to control the direction of the Liukou forces from the top.

Since the capture of Fengyang by the Ziliukou forces, the frontline battle situation in Fengyang Mansion has been continuously converging towards Datong through the intelligence delivery channels laid by Jinyiwei.

With the four levels of heaven and earth Xuanhuang, different frequencies are delivered.

It is also because of the continuous delivery of war information from the front line, so that Zhao Zongwu deeply felt the benefits brought by talents in his heart.

Because Zhao Zongwu has been continuously gathering talents since the Apocalypse, this on the other side has made Daming slowly fall to the point where no one is available.

In the historical trajectory, the Ming army and military forces that led the army to conquer the Liukou army, such as Chen Qiyu, Hong Chengchou, Lu Xiangsheng, Cao Wenzhao, etc., these countless civil and military forces are all gathered under the command of Zhao Zongwu at this moment, and they play a very important role in their respective posts.

There are so many excellent talent pools in the Ming Dynasty, but now they are all taken into the arms of Zhao Zongwu, which makes the already weak foundation of the Ming Dynasty even more fragile.

At this stage, the Ming army does not have so many handsome and talented generals, which makes the balance of the entire situation of the conquest of the Liukou gradually move closer to the side of the Liukou.

Yang Dang nodded and said: "According to the secret order from the front line, the outstanding graduates sent to Huguang, Nanzhili, Henan, Shandong and other places by the secretary have all gained a firm foothold in the Liukou army of various ministries at this stage, among which Zhang Songzhi, Fan Guozhong, Fan Guoxing, Hao Guangnian, Qi Cheng, Ma Sicheng, and Niu Yan have become division-level existences in various armies, and according to the secret orders they sent from the front line, the local Ming army at this stage is simply unable to suppress the strong Liukou army, which makes the Liukou able to in just two months. Quickly spread the power. ”

As these outstanding graduates sent out, they have experienced the edification of various disciplines since childhood, and those who can be sent to the army of rogues to take on important responsibilities are all people who are both civil and military, and they are absolutely loyal to Zhao Zongwu, and they have been brainwashed since childhood, which makes them have no so-called Zhu Ming imperial power in their hearts at all.

Of course, edification does not mean controlling thoughts, using new education to cultivate them, so that Zhang Songzhi and others have a way of thinking that ordinary people do not have.

Zhao Zongwu's eyes showed a clear look, and he said in a sonorous tone: "Tell Zhang Songzhi to tell them that becoming the military advisor of all the rogue bandits is just the beginning, and then we must find an opportunity, according to the plan and deployment made in advance, secretly cultivate our own forces in the rogue army, and we must complete the predetermined deployment plan as much as possible on the premise of ensuring our own safety." ”

After 14 years of precipitation, Zhao Zongwu already has talents that can be relied on, and these talents have, different from the way of thinking of the old bureaucratic system of the Ming Dynasty, the first three talents have appeared in the grassroots and backbone of Zhao Zongwu's forces, and a large number of outstanding graduates have been sent to various parts of the Ming Dynasty to start the encroachment of the secret leading places, so as to ensure that the equivalent belt of power can be consolidated.

Yang dared to bow down and said, "Yes, Grandpa Guo." After saying this, he turned around and left to make the corresponding arrangements.

Regarding secret matters, Zhao Zongwu was mostly supervised and controlled by the secretary, and on the bright side, Zhao Zongwu made corresponding arrangements through the Nine Border Marshal's Mansion and the Government Affairs Yuan.

After making corresponding adjustments to secret matters, Zhao Zongwu successively summoned the nine prime ministers of the Government Council: Sun Chuanting, Lu Xiangsheng, Shi Kefa, Yuan Chonghuan, Zhang Hu, Chen Xiong, Zhou Yanru, Wen Tiren, and Yang Jingchen.

The high-level officials of the Nine Border Marshal's Office include Chen Qiyu, director of the General Staff Department, Hong Chengchou, director of the Supervision Department, Fan Tianxiong, director of the Propaganda and Pacification Department, Ding Kui, director of the Coordination Department, Zu Dashou, director of the War Readiness Department, Zhao Zonglin, director of the Secret Protection Department, Zhao Shujiao, deputy director of the Army Division, Li Yun, deputy director of the Navy Division, and Sun Zushou, deputy director of the Garrison Division.

Because the Fengyang Imperial Mausoleum was excavated by the Liukou, this matter is too important, and when the imperial court knows about this matter, there will inevitably be a series of action measures, so it is not appropriate to convene a single high-level military and political officials.

As long as Zhang Weixian and their political agility are not weak, then they will definitely not deal with this matter lightly.

"About Fengyang, I don't need to say much, you know better than anyone else in your hearts, what the current court means, I don't know, but I only know one thing, this imperial tomb has been excavated by the rebellious rogues, so this matter is a situation that will not die!" Zhao Zongwu looked around at the generals with an indignant expression, and said even more passionately: "If our department has nothing to say about this matter, then what good is it for us to wait with the rogue who has lost his conscience?" ”

Although on the surface, Zhao Zongwu has never expressed his ambitions, but after years of development, many people around him know the thoughts of their grandfather, and with a series of mediocre measures made by the Ming court, they have become a little disappointed in their hearts, and the intensity of this disappointment is increasing, which gradually makes them speculate in their hearts that in fact, following the new master is not as bad as imagined, as long as the local people can live and work in peace and contentment, this does not seem to be a bad thing.

As Zhao Zongwu thought, after the news of the excavation of the Fengyang Imperial Mausoleum spread, Sun Chuanting and Chen Qiyu inevitably became excited after they found out, although they had begun to be disappointed in their hearts, but the last trace of obsession buried in their hearts still existed, so it was normal to vent it in real time.

Sun Chuanting said indignantly: "Grandpa Guo! This matter must not be spared the culprit, if the British public they have nothing to say about it, then my Nine Sides Marshal Mansion, must be the majesty of the whole Ming Dynasty, the imperial tomb was dug up by the bold rogue, this is undoubtedly a slap in the face of my Ming Dynasty! ”

As the leader of Zhao Zongwu in charge of people's livelihood, Sun Chuanting's attitude often represents the attitude of the current civil officials.

Zhao Zongwu is an excellent superior, he can figure out a lot of psychological fluctuations under his command by observing words and feelings, although this matter makes Sun Chuanting and them very indignant, but he is also keenly aware of a trace of unusual feelings.

Then Zhao Zongwu said: "This father will never stand by and watch this matter!" If the British Duke looked forward and did not dare to kill this group of daring rogues, then even if the Duke braved the disapproval of the world, he would lead the troops to kill this group of giants! ”

At the stage we are in now, the thin layer of window paper is better to pierce as soon as possible, if it is in this ambiguous state for a long time, this is not a good thing for the development of the follow-up forces, especially the current high-level thinking of the forces can not be unified with the outside world, if it continues like this for a long time, it is a very big uncertain hidden danger.

Liukou's capture of Fengyang has always been a measure for Zhao Zongwu to test his command, although it is unfair to Zhu Ming, but since you choose to enjoy the authority of the world, if your own ability cannot reach this level, then it is better to retire honestly.

Chen Qiyu nodded and said: "For the nine-sided marshal's mansion at this stage, with the stability of the strategic deployment of the various departments, it is more than enough to draw out three conquest armies, and now the arrogance of the rogue is too arrogant, and the British princess is too selfish, if the British prince and their auxiliary government can not bring stability to the Ming Dynasty, then the grandfather of the country, I implore you to return to the dynasty to preside over the overall situation!" ”

As a standard Zhao faction, Chen Qiyu's loyalty can be regarded as cultivated.

Zhao Zongwu waved his hand and said: "This matter is put aside for the time being, our army will discuss next, how to solve the raging rogue army, at this stage is also waiting for the news from the imperial court, if Zhang Weixian they take this matter lightly, then it is not too late for the prince to come forward, the development of the northwest region is at a critical stage at this stage, the prince does not like power struggle, everything is based on the people's peaceful residence." ”

Tempting the attitude of his subordinates is one thing, but it is another possibility to come out too early, for Zhao Zongwu, the time has not yet come, everything still needs to wait, but through this high-level meeting, Zhao Zongwu is very relieved in his heart, it seems that his own arrangements and deployments over the years have not been in vain!

Everything works!

It's just that after this incident, the high-level military and political leaders led by Sun Chuanting, Lu Xiangsheng, Shi Kefa, and Chen Qiyu can be regarded as completely breaking with the Ming Dynasty, after all, they have subconsciously favored Zhao Zongwu in their hearts, and these are probably things that Sun Chuanting and Lu Xiangsheng never thought of......
