Chapter 279: Sudden Shock

Genius remembered for a second, "Love β™‚ Γ· small? Say β†’', provide you with wonderful novels to read.

Li Xiuwen marched all the way and had already arrived at Qingzhou Mansion, and the White Lotus Sect had already evacuated and went in the direction of Fengyang.

Fengyang Mansion, which is the land of Longxing in the Ming Dynasty, was broken by Zhang Xianzhong a few years ago and burned down the imperial tomb, and the Yang family was implicated in this matter at that time, and blamed Luo Yanran.

Now that Li Xiuwen is secretly controlling the White Lotus Sect, he naturally doesn't dare to let them touch the Imperial Mausoleum, although it has already been almost destroyed before this.

Li Xiuwen didn't plan to "appease" the White Lotus Sect too quickly, if he hadn't fought a single battle, and he would recruit the White Lotus Sect, it would inevitably make people suspicious. Moreover, it is not good for me to solve the problem so quickly.

I can't guarantee it, as soon as Zhu Youzhen frees his hand, he will send someone to check on him again, so let's hang around outside for a few months first.

Hong Chengchou is leading people to chase the Qing army, and it is not too far from Qingzhou, so when there is a fight over there, he can still bring people over to help fight the Tartars.

However, Li Xiuwen was not so conceited, thinking that his more than 10,000 people could beat the tens of thousands of Qing troops. The previous battle was completely lucky, if you really want to fight face to face, how can you win more with less again?

Besides, his Shenji battalion completely relies on firearms to fight, and once it encounters rain and snow, its combat effectiveness must be greatly reduced.

Thinking about it this way, Li Xiuwen found that he still had fewer soldiers to train, and if he had the opportunity, he would have to train another army that would simply use cold weapons to fight.

However, now that his situation is not good, it is almost impossible to go to Zhu You to review the military power, so he can only put such an idea aside for the first time and talk about it later. γ€ζ„›β†‘εŽ»β–³ε°β†“θͺͺβ–³ηΆ² Qu 】

In the past two years, the three buildings in the capital have made a lot of money for themselves, especially the gambling houses.

Li Xiuwen calculated carefully, it has been the thirteenth year of Chongzhen now, and if it is opened for another two years, it will almost be transferred out. The money he has earned in the capital is enough, and the Li family still has such a big business in Kaifeng, so he should not worry about the military expenses for raising soldiers in the future.

The White Lotus Sect revolted, although it recruited a lot of people, but Li Xiuwen didn't plan to pay all his money to support these people. Originally, they were rebels, wouldn't they still rob the local squires, landlords, and elites?

If you really don't rob it, it will arouse suspicion.

The gentry class basically has some grain in stock, and when it comes to disaster years, they deliberately monopolize the grain, and then sell it at a high price, and it is a good thing to rob all these people.

Li Xiuwen's line is very clear, fight the landlords, fight the bullies, and carry out that to the end.

Wait for the people of the White Lotus Sect to plague Fengyang for a while, and then lead the troops to chase after them, and then let them run to the Huguang area, and then catch up with them and fight two battles, it's almost the same.

As for the area south of the Yangtze River, there has always been no rebel army willing to go.

Jiangnan is the richest area in the entire Ming Dynasty, even in a year of war like this, the people there are still passable, they can eat and fill their stomachs, who wants to rebel with you?

Moreover, the army in the south of the Yangtze River still has some combat strength, especially Jinling, which is still heavily guarded, and when you go to this kind of place, the personnel will only be attritional, not increased.

The leaders of the major rebel armies are not stupid, and no one wants to go to Jiangnan to toss around.

Li Xiuwen was thinking about when to let the White Lotus Sect enter Huguang and catch up with him to fight, when Sun Mingwen entered the tent and reported: "Son, there is news from the capital. ”

"What's the news?"

Li Xiuwen knew Han Lin's ability, if there was nothing unusual and unsolvable, he would not have sent someone to deliver the news as soon as he left the capital.

Sun Mingwen approached and whispered, Li Xiuwen's face suddenly became ugly.

Around those ministers in the capital, there are factory guards and eagle-eyed spies lurking, and Yang Sichang is now Zhu Youzhen's favorite minister, so naturally he will not be an exception.

But this matter is nothing to the factory guard, and it is fatal to himself.

Zhu Shaohong actually went to Yang Sichang's mansion, what the two talked about, Li Xiuwen didn't know, but it was enough to arouse his vigilance, not to mention that the two went to the palace together afterwards.

Normal people will have a motive for doing things, so what is the motive behind Zhu Shaohong's meeting with Yang Sichang?

When he was in Kaifeng, Zhu Shaohong thought about winning himself over, it seems that he is not dead set on the position of the prince now, but he doesn't know how much he knows about himself and Zhu Shaoye?

If the rebellion between himself and Zhu Shaoye is revealed, and Zhu Shaoye kills his relatives in righteousness, he can only take over the position of the son of the world.

After figuring this out, Li Xiuwen broke out in a cold sweat, it seemed that he couldn't hide this time.

He took a few deep breaths and forcibly calmed himself: "What is the movement of the imperial court?" ”

Sun Mingwen replied: "The next day, the emperor sent Gao Qiqian out of Beijing and rushed in the direction of our side. ”

Coming to Shandong to preach the message? Is it to pass the decree to Hong Chengchou, or to himself?

Yang Sichang took Zhu Shao to face the saint, and then sent Gao Qiqian to pass the decree, it seems that eighty percent is coming for himself, how should he deal with it?

No, you can't sit still!

Fortunately, I planted my own eyeliner in the capital in advance, otherwise I didn't know about it in advance this time, and I would have to finish the game. With Zhu Shaohong's identification, there is no longer a need for so-called evidence, and Zhu Youzhen will inevitably kill himself. I haven't made this matter public yet, so I should have been afraid that I still have soldiers and horses in my hands, so I didn't act rashly, right?

Yes, how can the imperial court have soldiers and horses to deal with itself now? Unless Hong Chengchou is allowed to bring those tens of thousands of people over, it is possible, but the Qing army has not retreated, where can he get out?

But if he runs away, what will happen to the ladies in the capital and the four little guys?

"The officers and soldiers are not surrounding our house now, and they are not arresting anyone?"

Li Xiuwen asked uneasily, and when he saw Sun Mingwen shaking his head, his heart calmed a little, and he continued to ask: "Didn't the imperial court send people to Kaifeng?" ”

Sun Mingwen replied: "Somehow, the third prince actually brought a few relatives back. ”

Li Xiuwen knew in his heart, it seemed that Zhu Shaohong had indeed rebelled, and ordered in a low voice: "Now immediately let people send a letter back, and let the ladies quickly leave the capital from the secret passage and return to Kaifeng, if it is too late, there will be a change!" Then you work hard, rush to Kaifeng as soon as possible to inform Chen Yi of this matter, and let him go to see the prince immediately and tell the truth, so that the prince can make plans early! ”

"My subordinates understand."

After Sun Mingwen left, Li Xiuwen hurriedly wrote two letters, and after letting people send them out, he called several generals of the Shenji Battalion and ordered: "The rebel army is in the Fengyang area, let's go to pursue it now, this governor himself led 5,000 cavalry first, He Kuan, Zhang Luoyan!" ”

"The last generalβ€”" The two of them came out and clasped their fists and responded in unison.

"The two of you lead the rest of the soldiers, follow closely behind, and Li Dong will set off with me!"

After Li Xiuwen gave this order, he rushed to the school with his relatives in a hurry.

Several generals looked at his back as he left in a hurry, and wondered in their hearts, this governor was still swaying a few days ago, and he was not in a hurry to chase the rebellious army, what happened today? (To be continued.) Reading, a better reading experience.
