Yang Zhengping has resigned! Chen Yue was shocked. Yang Zhengping served as the chief soldier of Huai'an, a high and powerful position, in the original Pingnan Army was the first person under Chen Yue, considering the importance of Huai'an he guarded, and Yang Zhengping's family was there, Chen Yue couldn't bear to let him let go of everything with whomever he wanted.

With Yang Zhengping's ability and status, it won't take much time to be knighted and become the noble of the Ming Dynasty, who would have thought that he would also make a move to resign.

"Without your husband and Brother Chen, I, Yang Zhengping, am afraid that I am still living a life of hunger and a full meal in the north, where would I be today." Yang Zhengping laughed self-deprecatingly, "Shouldn't I be the chief soldier of Huai'an, and you will starve to death if you follow Brother Chen?" ”

"Brother Yang!" Chen Yue was so excited that he couldn't speak.

"Okay, I'll go to the old man's grave to talk to the old man, Qi Guogong, you continue to be busy with yours." Yang Zhengping glanced at Wei Yang thoughtfully, and walked towards the foot of the mountain accompanied by Chen Yan.

"Tell me, what's going on?" Chen Yue glanced at Wei Yang and asked lightly.

"Grandpa, I missed!" Wei Yang fell to his knees with a puff and pleaded guilty to Chen Yue.

"Tell me, what's going on?" Chen Yue asked in a deep voice.

Before the Battle of Yangzhou, Wei Yang was sent to Shandong to carry out an important task, that is, to go to Shandong to pick up the third prince Zhu Cijiong. That incident was caused by Wei Yang, and naturally it was ended by him, and Chen Yue didn't want to spread it out and make it known to everyone.

The news that Yongwang Zhu Cijiong is alive is now known to a few people, except for Wei Yang and his two subordinates in charge of this matter, and Shan Minglei knows it. However, after Shan Minglei was driven to Sihai Yanxing because he fooled Wei Yang without authorization, he no longer dared to ask about this matter.

Because something went wrong in the middle, Chen Yue was afraid that it would not be good to say it, and he was even more afraid that Chongzhen would be angry if things didn't go wrong, so he chose to hide that Chongzhen didn't report it at all, but asked Weiyang to take someone to Shandong to pick up Yongwang Zhu Cijiong before going to Wuhu. Expecting to take back King Yong to surprise Chongzhen, who knew that something went wrong.

"Grandpa, it was very smooth at first, I took people to Shandong and entered Yimeng Mountain, and soon found King Yong. Who knew that when we came back, it coincided with the Shandong Mantar commander Zhun Ta leading his troops out of Shandong to attack Xuzhou Haizhou, and we were discovered by the Manchu Sentinels and had to retreat to the mountains.

Who knew that a group of Qing soldiers followed us in pursuit, Yongwang was weak and could not walk fast, under the repeated battles, my brother suffered heavy casualties, and finally I hid Yongwang in a cave and led away the pursuing Qing soldiers.

After getting rid of the pursuers, I returned to the original cave, but I didn't see the Yongwang at all, I searched all over the mountain, but I couldn't find any trace of the Yongwang, so I had to come back.

Grandpa, my subordinates are incompetent, things haven't been done well, you can punish me! ”

Wei Yang leaned on the ground and said bitterly.

Looking at Wei Yang who was kneeling on the ground, Chen Yue didn't know what to say, judging from Wei Yang's description, the reason why things were like this was completely accidental, Chen Yue naturally knew that Zhunta sent troops from Shandong, and originally planned to attack Huai'an to help Duoduo attack Yangzhou, who knew that a big flood would drown Duoduo's 100,000 troops. After the defeat of the Duoduo army, in the face of the Yang Zhengping Department of Huai'an, who was waiting for the battle, the Zhun Tower, which only had 3,000 eight banners and more than 10,000 green battalions, attacked and plundered, and only led the troops back to Shandong.

Who knew that Wei Yang was more unlucky, but he met the sentry of the Qing soldiers, and was chased and killed.

But Chen Yue also knew that bad luck was only one of the reasons, in the final analysis, Wei Yang's ability was not good, and he was not suitable for this kind of practice of lurking behind enemy lines.

But in the final analysis, he knew that Wei Yang couldn't do it, but he wanted to give him a chance to make up for his mistakes in the past, which led to such an ending!

"I can't completely blame you for this, but since the matter is messed up, I can't help but deal with it, you hand over all the affairs of the Enemy Intelligence Department and hand it over to Liu Neng, you go to serve in front of the Zhoushan Army yourself, so you can be a general first."

Chen Yue instructed lightly, "But the matter of King Yong must be rotten in the stomach, and not a word is allowed to be spoken." ”

"Yes, Grandpa!" Wei Yang kowtowed and retreated.

King Yong was not rescued, his whereabouts are unknown, this matter cannot be leaked out at all, once it reaches Chongzhen's ears, it is not clear, which is also the reason why Chen Yue strictly ordered Wei Yang to shut up.

After thinking about it, this matter couldn't be ignored after all, so he ordered someone to pass Liu Neng over.

"Grandpa!" Liu Neng walked into the house and bowed to Chen Yue.

"Wei Yang is back, but he no longer cares about the affairs of the Enemy Intelligence Division, and you will be solely responsible for this matter in the future, and there is something that you need to do now."

Chen Yue shouted to Liu Neng and commanded gently.

"Yes, Grandpa! What if I find His Highness, and bring him back? Liu Neng endured the fluctuations in his heart and asked questions.

"It's not appropriate for us to meddle in this matter, after finding His Highness, you will secretly pass the news to Jinyiwei, and leave the matter of saving His Highness to them." Chen Yue said a little disheartened.

Chongzhen rebuilt the factory guard, Chen Jianghe died, the new commander of Jinyiwei is Lu Zonghan, and Chen Jianghe's former deputy, after taking office, the interior of Jinyiwei was cleaned, many of Chen Jianghe's previous old subordinates were driven down from important positions, Xu Qingtian, Shen Lian and others broke away from Jinyiwei in anger and returned to Chen Yue's subordinates.

Now the factory guard force is becoming more and more powerful, and in a short period of time, he actually intervened in military affairs, and Fang Mingxia, the head of the East Factory, actually made such a major event as persuading Li Guoying to harm Azig 20,000 Eight Banners, which made Chen Yue can't help but be vigilant.

Now that he has resigned from his official position, he can't take care of what he shouldn't do, and he can't do what he shouldn't do. After finding the third prince Zhu and doing his best, the rest of the things will be done by the factory guard, Chen Yue does not want to show his edge again, nor does he want to attract the attention of the factory guard.

......

Not far from Mengshan is Cangshan County, and there is a rather large village called Sanhe Village. The squire Hu family is marrying a daughter, and the new son-in-law is actually a foreigner from an unknown source, who is very handsome, which makes the villagers amazed.

A couple of newcomers were sent into the cave room after worshipping heaven and earth, lifted their hijabs and drank a glass of wine, looking at their handsome wife in front of them, Zhu Cijiong was stunned. Without the consent of his father, he married his wife without authorization, but he also knew that his father-in-law was right, if it wasn't for marrying a wife and using the identity of the son-in-law of the Hu family as a cover, he would not be able to safely escape the interrogation of the Manchu Qing officials.

Squire Hu has promised that when the news passes, he will send his wife to Huai'an, as long as he arrives in Huai'an, it will be the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and he will be the only son of the Ming Emperor and the future son of heaven.
