Chapter 696: Xuzhou's Suppression of Bandits Begins to Succeed
Zhang Guoxiang claimed that the Taiping Yang Order was no longer in Zhu Yijun's hands, and the implication could not be more obvious.
The Taiping Yang Order is not in Zhu Yijun's hands, and Zheng Guifei and Zhu Changxun can order heroes from all walks of life in various provinces to launch a popular rebellion almost at the same time, is it because when they left, they took the sheep and stole Zhu Yijun's Taiping Yang Order?
But if Concubine Zheng Guifei and Zhu Changxun really stole the Taiping Yang Order, Zhu Yijun should hate these two people, and how could he deprive him of the authority to supervise the country because Zhu Changluo buried dozens of people? Could it be that Zhu Yijun's doting on Zheng Guifei's mother and son has reached such a deformed point that no matter what kind of heinous mistakes they make, they can be forgiven?
At the same time, Li Mi finally thought about one thing clearly, Zhang Guoxiang entered the palace at this time, and it was really for the Taiping Yang Order, otherwise how would he know this?
"So the emperor means to let me go to Xuzhou and arrest those two mothers and sons?"
When Zhang Guoxiang heard that Li Mi confirmed this, he also replied very clearly: "Yes, that's what the emperor meant, you should hurry up and set off." ”
Although Zhang Guoxiang did not say it explicitly, Li Mi also knew in his heart that Zheng Guifei and Zhu Changxun were important, but they were afraid that recovering the Taiping Yang Order was the most important thing.
After Zhang Guoxiang left, Li Mi didn't stay long, clicked on Jinyi Wei Tiqi and Dongchang Fanzi, and talked to Zhen Mi and Zhang Huangting, and then left Beijing and went to Xuzhou.
Xuzhou was called Pengcheng in ancient times, located in Jiangsu Province, in the early Ming Dynasty, it belonged to Fengyang Mansion, and it was also the Beijing Division, but now it belongs to the South Zhili.
Xuzhou is known as the thoroughfare of five provinces, water and land transportation is very convenient, just follow the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal to the south, you can reach Xuzhou, so there is nothing to say all the way.
Li Mi is acting on orders this time, as the commander of the left capital, directly under the command of the Jinyi Wei Ti Cavalry and Dongchang Fanzi, both prestige and prestige, and there is no trouble, but there are some blind bandits on the road, Li Mi also has the right to be a soldier, and he has not yet arrived in Xuzhou, he has already won a lot.
Xuzhou is now under the flood, like Zeguo, the land is rampant, and the torrential rain does not stop, from time to time there will be the collapse of the dwellings, Li Mi climbed the high mountain outside the city, look at it, you can see a piece of yellow sea, is a looming white wall and black tile.
"In such a situation, it's not easy to ......hide," Li Mi said, and the Xuzhou Tongzhi beside him said to Li Mi: "Guogong Mingjian, although the government is constantly giving relief, but Hongze Lake has skyrocketed, and it is not tenable at all, so the resettlement point can only be set up on this Zhuyu Mountain......
The terrain of this dogwood mountain is very high, and when Li Mi climbed the mountain, he had already found that the mountainside and the top of the mountain were full of victims, and the government moved the government office up.
"Where are those thieves hiding?" Li Mi asked casually, and the Xuzhou Tongzhi didn't dare to hide it, so he replied decisively to Li Mi.
"They all hid in the Siwu Mountain in the north of the city, and gathered ships several times to attack Zhuyu Mountain, but fortunately, thanks to the concerted efforts of the officers and soldiers, they did not succeed......
Most of Xuzhou belongs to the plain area, there are not many high mountains, except for the Zhuyu Mountain in the middle, which is the Siwu Mountain in the north, and the rest are hills.
After several days of heavy rain, Hongze Lake was flooded, making the whole Xuzhou into a water pool in the romance novel, and the hills were like islands, and the bandits were hiding in them, and they actually used the boat to attack.
Along the way, Li Mi had already thought of a strategy.
Now he is no longer the person he used to be, he is the prince of the country, the commander of the left capital, and the messenger who was ordered to suppress the bandits, but he can no longer be as obscene as before, and immediately ordered to Xuzhou Tongzhi.
"Issue an official order, set a time limit, the thieves of Siwu Mountain must surrender to the official within ten days, otherwise the official will level the entire Siwu Mountain, and anyone who participates, regardless of the master and slave, will be killed!"
After all, Xuzhou is a subordinate area of Nanzhili, and it is the thoroughfare of the five provinces, and the news is very well-informed.
Li Mi did not intervene, but just sat in Zhuyu Mountain, and let the accompanying Jingying forbidden army set up ambushes everywhere and waited for the rabbits.
Jinyi Wei Tiqi and Dongchang Fanzi are used for secret reconnaissance, not for suppressing bandits, and this kind of thing needs to be done by the forbidden army of Beijing.
If there are people in this world who hate Li Mi the most, then it must be Zheng Guifei and Zhu Changxun, if it weren't for Li Mi, they wouldn't have come to this point.
So when they hear the news, they don't need Li Mi to take the initiative, as long as Zheng Guifei and Zhu Changxun still have a little bit of blood, they will definitely come to retaliate against Li Mi in person!
Of course, Li Mi came with the forbidden army, Zheng Guifei and Zhu Changxun are now tigers in Pingyang, and it is estimated that they will not hit the stone with an egg, but if they really dare to come, then it can only show one problem, that is, the Taiping Yang Order must be in their hands!
Because only the Taiping Yang Order can command the heroes of the people, if all these traitors really listen to their dispatch, it means that the Taiping Yang Order is really in their hands.
Li Mi actually had some doubts in his heart, because the Taiping Yang Order was so mysterious, not everyone had seen it, even if Zheng Guifei and Zhu Changxun had won the Taiping Yang Order, how could those Jianghu bigwigs recognize it?
Even the bigwigs of the big forces in the rivers and lakes don't recognize it, how can these ordinary disciples of the Qingyang Sect recognize it?
No one recognizes the Taiping Yang Order, so naturally no one will listen to their dispatch, and this Taiping Yang Order naturally loses its effect.
is a character like Li Mi, and it was only after listening to Zuo Di that he knew that there was such a thing as the Taiping Order, and those who didn't know it were even those who got the Taiping Order, and they were not clear, and no one would go to the soup to die for you because of a Taiping Order.
That being the case, what kind of thing is the Taiping Order, which can command the world's heroes?
Li Mi was curious, but he was a little expecting these thieves to take the initiative to attack.
It's just that Zheng Guifei and Zhu Changxun are relatively calm, three or five days have passed, and there has been no movement, but fortunately, Shen Yu and Liu Zhibei and others finally brought back the news.
Li Mi can also be regarded as prescient, let Liu Zhibei and others come over in advance, it can be regarded as an outpost, Li Mi has only arrived for a few days, and there is no way to know more and deeper things from Xuzhou Tongzhi.
The news brought back by Liu Zhibei and others is precious.
"Master, the brothers have infiltrated Siwu Mountain to investigate, and it is indeed the chief helmsman of the Qingyang Sect, the master of the chief helm is called an immortal, and he is also a demon who is good at doing things, Abe Xuanhai has fought with him, and his ability is not ......small."
"There are about 5,000 people in Siwu Mountain, but there are only more than 300 elites, and the rest are all homeless grass kokou, so there is nothing to be afraid of."
"Although they don't have firearms, their bows and crossbows are strong, their swords are sharp, and the demon road has also made a lot of new things, saying that they are magic weapons, but they are some obscene hidden weapons, and the use of poison is also insidious and ruthless......"
Liu Zhibei is good at strategy, so he is also very organized in collecting intelligence, and has summarized many aspects such as the number of people, combat effectiveness, and equipment, and has also saved Li Mi a lot of effort.
However, Li Mi doesn't care about these grass cowards, because in front of the Jingying Forbidden Army and the Jinyi Wei Ti Cavalry, this anti-thief gang with only three or five hundred elites is not to be afraid at all, what Li Mi really cares about is Zheng Guifei and Zhu Changxun!
"Have you ever seen those two people?" Li Mi had already explained in advance that for Zheng Guifei and Zhu Changxun, no matter how they were allowed to mention their names and identities, this was also to avoid leaking the news.
Although Liu Zhibei also knew the seriousness of the matter, he shook his head and said to Li Mi: "That Manchu immortal is so mysterious, our brothers can find out, but we can't see those two people, I'm afraid they are not in Siwu Mountain......"
"Not in Siwu Mountain?" Li Mi inevitably frowned, he went south this time for Zheng Guifei and Zhu Changxun, as well as the Taiping Yang Order, which was very likely to fall into their hands, if he couldn't meet it, he would run in vain.
Seeing that Li Mi was disappointed, Liu Zhibei also hurriedly said to Li Mi: "But don't worry, the brothers have expanded the scope of investigation, as long as they are in Xuzhou, they will definitely be able to find it, it's just a matter of time......
"It's been raining heavily for days, the lake is flushing, and the ocean is full of water, and they can't run if they want to......"
Li Mi knew all this, and he could only let Liu Zhibei and others continue to investigate.
After a few more days, if there were really people from Siwushan who came to plunder, none of them could escape, so the forbidden army in Beijing rushed to kill, with many dead and wounded, and the rest were all taken prisoner.
Li Mi interrogated some of the leaders, and the information was not different from what Liu Zhibei and the other three people had reported, and the demon path of the Manxian people couldn't sit still, so they sent these people to attack, just to test the truth.
Xuzhou Tongzhi and others are different, capturing so many people, it is a great achievement, even the forbidden army in Beijing is also excited.
However, Liu Zhibei hurried back and reported to Li Miyu: "Master, they are abandoning the car to protect the commander, and they will make these minions attack, but the main force wants to withdraw from Siwu Mountain and is going to flee south!" ”
These thieves are refugees, not foreign captives, they have no harm to the local villagers, and they are just running around to fight against the government, and if they run, they will run away, and there is no need to kill them all.
Li Mi really cared about only those two people, but before he could ask, Liu Zhibei had already opened his mouth and continued.
"Those two people are very likely to be inside, but the large army is going south, but they are going east, and they are guessing that they want to go to sea!"
Hearing that Concubine Zheng and Zhu Changxun were inside, and they wanted to go to sea, Li Mi also took the opportunity to make a decision and said to Liu Zhibei.
"Go and inform the forbidden army, let the forbidden army lead most of the army to chase after the Manchu immortals, and Jinyi Wei Tiqi and Dongchang Fanzi will follow me to hunt down those two people!"
Li Mi also has a plan in his heart, if most of them are dispatched, they will inevitably startle the snake, but if there are not enough people, he is afraid that he will not be able to catch these two people.
If these two people go into exile, it will be even more difficult to recover them in the future!
It is also thanks to Liu Zhibei and others who are well-informed, otherwise they really wouldn't be able to find these two people, and now that the opportunity is in front of them, how can Li Mi let them go!
It's just that Li Mi didn't expect that if Concubine Zheng and Zhu Changxun wanted to flee overseas, they would have fled long ago, so why should they stay in Xuzhou?
In any case, the opportunity is right in front of him, how can Li Mi let it go!
