It is also March, and the snow-capped Mobei grassland, there is no snow in sight inside and outside Jinzhou. However, the weeds and shrubs that are exposed on the ground are still withered and yellow, and it seems that there is still no life, but if you pick up these weeds, you may be able to see a little bit of greenery.

Although the weather is not cold, there are not many people in the wild. Whether it is farming or caravans, it is not until April or May that it begins to come alive.

However, today there are some outs, a team of 2 or 30 cavalry is not good to nest in the city to drink and play, but from the north gate of Jinzhou out of the city, along the official road to the east of the Dalinghe Fort. The military academy guarding the gate was respectful to the gorgeously dressed cavalry, and did not even let them dismount and check, as if their own boss had come.

The good deeds on the street couldn't help but stretch out their heads to see what kind of obstruction people were in the ranks, but when they saw the cavalry's clothing, they immediately retracted their heads with pale faces, and ran away with their heads down as soon as they put their hands on their clothes.

What made these street pedestrians dare not look at it was the brocade clothes worn by these cavalrymen. In the past, when the scholars and doctors mentioned the cavalry, they suddenly changed color, and they always hated and helplessly said: Sanshan Street, the cavalry is ruthless, and it flies suddenly, like an eagle falcon.

However, after the Suzhou Five Tombstone Incident, the scholars and doctors incited the people to oppose the Ti Cai, and repeatedly accused these brocade guards wearing goose hats and brocade robes, not only did not fulfill their due duty to sweep away the evil spirits for the emperor, but instead embarrassed the good gentry and common people everywhere, and became a tool for some traitors to fight against dissidents.

Under the joint counterattack of the gentry class, Tiqi did not dare to leave the capital easily. After Chongzhen ascended the throne, in view of the bad reputation of Jinyiwei, he announced the suspension of most of Jinyiwei's law enforcement powers, and only retained the two powers of arresting traitors and those who intended to subvert the dynasty.

However, after reducing the number of tens of thousands of Jinyiwei to four or five thousand, and building schools to train the backbone of Jinyiwei, Jinyiwei's ability to do things has skyrocketed, and there is no longer the bureaucratic style of floating people before. After plugging the loophole of recruiting Jinyiwei captains from the streets, the quality of Jinyiwei personnel began to gradually improve, and there was no longer the unruly gangsters who used Jinyiwei's license to extort street vendors to ruin Jinyiwei's reputation.

Under the guidance of Chongzhen, Jin Yiwei's investment in overseas trade and restaurants and green buildings has obtained enough funds for activities, so naturally he does not need to be the underworld himself. The civil unrest in Henan and the introduction of salt in Yangzhou, Jinyiwei have made a lot of contributions, but they have all given the official presiding over the Anti-Corruption Office the first credit, which makes the officials feel a little more at ease with Jinyiwei.

Of course, after the large-scale reform of Jinyiwei, Jinyiwei was also divided into three forces. One is the hereditary officials of Jinyiwei headed by Luo Yangxing and Wu Mengming, who are resistant to reform, after all, the reform not only reduces the power of Jinyiwei, but also cuts off their continued power to control Jinyiwei.

The other is Tian Ergeng, Xu Xianchun and other eunuch remnants, who were originally promoted by Wei Zhongxian in order to suppress the hereditary officials within Jinyiwei, so that Jinyiwei could become Wei Zhongxian's personal strength. Although the emperor has changed now, the suppression of these hereditary officials can no longer be stopped, otherwise once they are counterattacked by Luo Yangxing and others, their fate will not be better.

The last faction is the academy faction, the police academy co-founded by Jinyiwei and the Patrol Police Bureau, and most of the students recruited and trained by it come from the depressed low-level people. These people had no hope of taking the imperial examination, but they disdained business and agriculture, and those who applied for the military academy were brushed off again, and finally they were admitted to the police academy.

The academics opposed the hereditary officials in the Jinyi Guard, believing that they were blocking the way of the academics; He also looked down on Tian Ergeng and Xu Xianchun, the remnants of the eunuch party, and disgusted them for ruining the reputation of Jinyiwei. In the eyes of the academics, the future of Jinyiwei is that these people should be driven out of Jinyiwei, or marginalized, and they should protect the emperor and the Ming Dynasty by themselves.

It's just that the Jinyi guards from the academy are now only low-level officials of the general banner and a hundred households, and they can't have so much energy to realize their dreams. However, when they seized the opportunity, they were much more resolute with the half-hearted Luo Yangxing, Tian Ergeng and others.

Although Jinzhou's anti-rebellion work was excellent, it did not break the small group of Jiangmen in western Liaoning. Although the General Staff stopped, Chongzhen was not satisfied, and the Liaoxi generals repeatedly challenged the authority of the central government, which had touched his bottom line. Since Houjin will not attack Jinzhou for the time being, and Zu Dashou and other generals in western Liaoning have been dismantled, he will naturally not let go of this opportunity to further suppress and disintegrate the mountaineering of the military group in western Liaoning.

So Zhao Yiwei, a deputy Qianhu from the police university, and others, under the instruction of the emperor, replaced the heads of Jinyiwei in Jinzhou, Ningyuan, and Shanhaiguan. The external name of the Jinyi Guard Yamen in these three places is the Political Security Department, which is mainly responsible for the anti-traitor work of the local military and civilians.

Zhao Yiwei spent three months visiting various units of the Jinzhou garrison, and then again brought up the case of the disappearance of the red-coated cannon, and began to interview the non-commissioned officers of the lower ranks of the army individually, and asked them to expose the enemy within the army. Those who are willing to cooperate with Jinyiwei are regarded as activists, and those who are unwilling to say anything are diehards.

The so-called mountainism is nothing more than a small group uniting a small group, and finally cobbling together a large group. Who can defend the interests of the group, and who is the object of allegiance of the members of the group. So when Zu Dashou, the leader of the Liaoxi Jiangmen, was transferred to the capital, the group of the Liaoxi Jiangmen did not disappear, and they still continued to exist.

When Zhao Yiwei asked them to start exposing each other, the big group of Liaoxi Jiangmen finally began to collapse. When a small group is forced to betray him, he will soon become someone who wants the group to collapse as soon as possible to prevent himself from being retaliated against.

After the continuous division of the troops and the suppression, the control of the Liaoxi generals over the soldiers under them was already extremely low. Therefore, Zhao Yiwei easily found the first betrayer, and the winter of Chongzhen's four years was an exceptionally cold winter for the Liaoxi armies.

The western Liaoning corridor includes Shanhaiguan, with more than 100,000 people, more than 50,000 local garrison troops, and 35,000 field troops. With the efforts of Zhao Yiwei and others, more than 50,000 people and nearly 10,000 military spies were caught who had fornicated with Houjin, and the army almost reached the point where one out of every nine people was a Houjin spy.

However, this time, no military minister dared to run in front of Zhao Yiwei to protest, and even Jinzhou, where Mangui was hiding, was far away, unwilling to provoke this mourning star. Because now everyone is in danger, and they can't believe that their subordinates don't have Zhao Yiwei's intelligence officers.

When the General Staff Headquarters was in rebellion, quite a few officers dared to say something strange in private. But today, the officer who dared to complain in private, saying that the officer who did not keep his master here and had his own place to keep his master was invited to Zhao Yiwei's yamen for questioning the next day, and many people were gone forever.

The atmosphere of the army became extremely tense, and now no one dared to say good things about Hou Jin, and he completely forgot the interests of the small group, and tried his best to move closer to the officer corps from the military academy. In Zhao Yiwei's yamen, only these military academy officers who are protégés dare to ask Zhao Yiwei to release people and protect his subordinates.

Of course, not everyone is willing to bow to Jinyiwei, deputy generals Zhang Cunren and Liu Tianlu finally couldn't stand Jinyiwei's high-pressure policy, and they did assist Zu Dachun to transport the red-clothed cannon out of the city, but they didn't know that the red-clothed cannon would be sent to Houjin.

When Zhao Yiwei began to reach out to their subordinates and cronies, the two escaped across the Daling River with 100 soldiers on the 22nd day of February in the fifth year of Chongzhen's reign under the pretext of inspecting Dalinghe Fort. Zhang Cunren and Liu Tianlu originally planned to take the soldiers and civilians of Dalinghe Fort hostage and defect to Houjin together, but after being discovered by the defenders, they repelled their plan to seize the fort.

After Zhang Cunren and Liu Tianlu retreated, the defenders immediately passed on the movements of the two to Jinzhou City, and the military and political governors of Jinzhou were very shocked. Liu Tianlu is okay, but he is a mediocre person, this Zhang Cunren is a general who has been praised by the emperor himself, and he even wants to take over as the commander of the Fourth Division of the Second Field Army.

What is even more worrying is that Zhang Cunren and Liu Tianlu are very familiar with the Jinzhou city defense and the fortress plan being built outside the city, which is undoubtedly a great gift to Houjin. For the first time, Jinzhou military and political officials openly challenged Zhao Yiwei, claiming that they wanted to write to the emperor about the matter, and asked Jinyiwei to suspend the screening of military and civilian spies.

Although Zhao Yiwei agreed to the request of these military and political officials with an ugly face, he did not think that there was a problem with his way of handling the case. He believed that the escape of Zhang Cunren and Liu Tianlu had proved that his work had been fruitful, and the spies within the army finally couldn't help but show their true colors and fled back to Houjin. For this reason, he personally went to Dalinghe Fort, and through the questioning of the defenders of the fort, he wrote a detailed report and sent it to the capital.

On February 27, the sixth year of Jin Tiancong, Huang Taiji led Zhong Beile to personally go out of Shenyang City to meet Zhang Cunren, Liu Tianlu and other Ming rebel generals.

Seeing Zhang Cunren, Liu Tianlu and other Ming rebel generals rolling off their horses and kneeling beside the road, Huang Taiji hurriedly stepped forward to help everyone up and said: "The general voted for me, this is the country of Jin after the heavens protect me."

Although the emperor is brilliant, after all, he is young and vigorous, and such talents as generals are incompatible, so how can he convince the subjects of the world? I don't think it's a good thing to indulge domestic slaves and despise the warriors.

Since the generals have come to vote with their hearts, do you know if you have anything to say to me? ”

Under the pressure of Huang Taiji and Yigan Beile's gaze, Liu Tianlu lay on the ground and was completely speechless, but Zhang Cunren could still think calmly for a moment before replying: "The Khan King is wise and wise, and he doesn't need to say much from his subordinates.

However, the subordinates have lived in Jinzhou for a long time, but they have gained a little from Jinzhou's city defense. The subordinates thought that if the Khan did not send troops to Jinzhou as soon as possible, once the fortifications on the outskirts of Jinzhou were completed, I am afraid that it would be difficult for the Khan to see the walls of Jinzhou again in the future..."
