It's not that Ye's suspicions are serious, because he knows that in the courts of the past dynasties, there are several terrible hidden forces, one of which is the force called the Friends Party or the Township Party.

These people collude along geographical or common goals, attacking and excluding officials who disagree with their own political views, or banding together against the dictates of their superiors.

The existence of these people undoubtedly gives every person in power a headache, but they are inexhaustible and endless.

Due to the shortcomings of the West Factory's intelligence in the Northwest Region, Ye was also very passive in dealing with this side of the matter.

However, through the simple exchange just now, Ye was already sure that these Northwest officers had already secretly united and formed an offensive and defensive alliance.

What to do? Do you really want to kill them all?

Ye secretly shook his head, the northwest region is an important logistics base for him to lead his troops westward in the future, and it must be based on maintaining stability, and killing people is not necessarily the best means.

After making up his mind, Ye ordered the people to send people back to their respective guard posts and bring the remaining officers and soldiers, as well as all the accounts, to Jianjun Town.

When the generals heard this, they were suddenly a little confused, and all the people and horses were brought over, which was equivalent to handing them all over, and bringing these things over was equivalent to handing over their old bottoms.

I had the heart to say no, but when I looked at Ye's cold gaze, the generals understood that if they didn't agree now, it was estimated that no one would be able to get out of the big tent.

After glancing at each other, they agreed in unison again: "The last general, please follow the instructions of your father-in-law!" ”

Ye saw the performance of the generals in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help flashing a mocking smile.

"Come, pen and ink wait, General Man Gui, in a while, you will send someone to follow the generals' subordinates and go to their respective guards to help with this matter"

Want to get the tricks? I have to give you a chance!

After Man Gui agreed, a guard outside the tent walked in quickly with pen and ink.

These generals are all the main generals of the guards, and they will definitely bring them with them if they have a token seal or something, so Ye will force them to give orders now, and will not give them a chance to communicate or arrange in private at all.

In this case, the generals can only act according to Ye's intentions, and soon, under the supervision of the guards, they hurriedly write orders, and then stamp their own seals, it doesn't matter if you can't write, press the handprint, stamp the seal, and the content guards can help write.

Not to mention, there is really a fluke mentality, trying to get through the customs in the dark on the grounds that the token seal letter is not with him and he returns to the camp to give an order.

Ye didn't give him this chance, and directly ordered the guards to take it, since he didn't want to cooperate, he would no longer give you a chance to cooperate.

The current situation is equivalent to Ye putting these generals under house arrest, in a word, if you want to leave safely, you have to be honest and obey orders.

Soon, the orders were written, and Ye's guards took these warrants out to find the generals' cronies, and then scattered under the guidance of those people.

Unconsciously, most of the day has passed, and although the generals are hungry, the problem is that they still have the appetite to eat!

Ye is a soldier lover, and when everything is done, he immediately ordered his subordinates to prepare meals for the generals, as for the wine, it is too wasteful to give them drink.

Obviously, Ye had no intention of letting them leave now.

Indeed, Ye was also afraid that after they returned to the camp, they would send people back to inform their respective subordinates, so on the one hand, he bought time for the guards who gave orders, and on the other hand, he had to arrange patrols on the periphery of each battalion, strictly prohibiting any soldier from leaving.

I don't know if I want to play an exemplary role, or if I want to monitor nearby, Ye didn't leave, sat behind the handsome case while eating, and watched the report.

In a very strange scene, in the big tent where more than 100 people gathered, there was no sound except for the crisp sound of the dishes and chopsticks colliding.

But the silence was soon interrupted by the sound of hurried footsteps, and with a lift of the tent, a burly figure strode in, but it was Man Gui who went and returned.

Man Gui walked quickly to Ye's side, handed over a letter in his hand, and said softly: "It was just intercepted over there in Lanzhou."

Ye took the letter and opened it, and as he expected, the letter was indeed from the British government, although the letter was also in Zhang Weixian's handwriting, the content was a bit specious.

The letter warned Gu Xiancheng to abide by the law, take care of children, and strictly implement the imperial court decrees.

The letter didn't last long, it was swept in a few glances, and after reading it, Ye couldn't help but snort coldly: "I want to cover it."

Last night, Ye received a message from the capital, the old Guogong was terminally ill, and there was a possibility of returning to the west at any time, that is to say, this matter was done by someone under the banner of the old Guogong from beginning to end.

The title of the Duke of England is hereditary, but Zhang Weixian, who is not serious, has a bunch of sons, among whom there are three sons-in-law who are qualified to inherit the title.

The eldest Zhang Xulian, who is now working in the Hanlin Academy, is a person who specializes in learning, and is arranged in an orderly manner according to the eldest and youngest, and the title should be his, but this buddy seems to be stupid in reading, and he is usually not very liked by his father, so it is really hard to say whether the title can fall on his head in the end.

The second Zhang Xugang, the current official minister, has a very delicate official position, but I heard that he is only suspended, after all, his father's reputation is there, and there is no shortage of his little money at home, he is quite a low-key individual, and he usually doesn't see any ambitions.

The third Zhang Xuyang, who is also Zhang Weixian's most beloved son, has hung up the rank of governor in Jinyiwei, but he has never taken office.

Three sons, three personalities, they are the ones who have the most access to their father Zhang Weixian in peacetime, so could this matter be done by one of these three sons?

For Zhang Weixian's sake, Ye Ben didn't want to participate in the internal affairs of the British government, but now it seems that it will not work if he doesn't participate...

It wasn't until the time of the lantern that Ye let the generals go back after all the peripheral controls were in place.

When they came, they were full of energy, but when they went back, they were like frosted eggplants, and they didn't have any energy, and everyone knew that even if they could get out of here alive, they would no longer be able to call for wind and rain on their respective territories as before.

These generals didn't know that due to Zhang Weixian's serious illness, Ye had already had to change his itinerary.

Since his debut, Zhang Weixian has been helpful to Ye Duo, and Ye has a feeling that Lao Guogong must be waiting to see him for the last time, so he must rush back as soon as possible.

Everyone else left, Ye sat alone behind the handsome case, pondered for a long time, and then wrote two secret letters in a row, one to Chen Shancai, the secretary of the ministry, ordering him to reassign the Lanzhou prefect, and the other to Fang Zhenru, asking him to send the elite imperial history to the northwest to thoroughly investigate the problems here.

There are big and small things and priorities, Ye can't do everything himself, otherwise he will be exhausted to death sooner or later, and some things that are not particularly urgent will have to be done by his subordinates.

After arranging these, I sent an order again, and summoned Mangui and Qin Bangping to discuss the matter...
