Guangfu, the city, the first mountain palace,

The breath of summer heat still lingered outside the palace.

But everyone's steps became brisk and active, because the master of this temple, who was the object of their service, was in a good mood these days, and he also gently let go of some small mistakes around him, which also affected those who served in front of them.

Because, not long after the rainy season comes,

The traitors and traitors entrenched in Tiannan City finally could not support the internal and external difficulties, and the Zhengding party led by the Zhengding party privately negotiated the conditions with the imperial envoys, and since then the city gate has been opened to welcome the official army; In the end, all the gates of Tiannan City were all thrown down at a negligible price, and most of the tens of thousands of traitors and their henchmen in the city failed to escape, and were either killed and captured or surrendered to the army.

Including the first three envoys of the imperial court, the governor of the political affairs, the Shaofu Siqing, the Weiwei Shaoqing, the chief governor of the Zongfan Yuan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, the right attendant of the military department, Zong Zhengcheng, the deputy envoy of the palace province, the young eunuch of the inner chamberlain, the Shaoyin of the Jingzhao Mansion, the director of the Navy Administration, the governor of the Guangfu Navy Zuo Dudu, etc., as well as dozens of ministers and nobles, lords and their subordinates, and family members, and a series of rebellious members of the party have been captured on the spot by the defenders anyway.

The only thing that is not perfect is that one of the important culprits who disappeared in the chaotic army, the former political envoy of Chengxuan Tong and Dahonglu, and Liu Yu, the deputy assistant of the puppet cabinet who claims to be the puppet dynasty, is still in the follow-up search.

Another piece of news that I don't know whether it's good or bad is that Chenghai Gong, who was given the title of head assistant to the cabinet, actually died of illness more than half a year ago on the way to the south, but he was hidden by these rebels, and continued to give orders in his name, so that now the corpse is rotten and difficult to find.

In this way, he can take care of some feelings, and continue to inherit the title and title of Chenghai Office by selecting suitable children from the side branches of his own family on the grounds of exception and mercy on his death; It will not let the names of the four major offices be cut off casually in their own hands, and some reputations and criticisms of "not caring for relatives" and "self-destructing wings" will be carried out.

Therefore, the Son of Heaven, who was coerced by the thieves, has been snatched out again, and is following the north of the sea route under the escort of Yulongzhi, and will arrive in Guangfu in a few days. In this way, the next step of the situation and public opinion operation can be further promoted.

He kept this unscrupulous thief alone, and did not rush to set up a new emperor and take away his title, but prepared for the arrival of this moment.

It is said that the soldiers after the city was broken were very satisfied, and the envoys and ministers who were responsible for copying and inspecting the traitorous party were also very satisfied, and they also specially presented a list of at least one million worth of property to the imperial court, as well as many palace utensils and treasures, which are said to be many of the wealth and assets that were loaded and taken away from the Guangfu, and are only part of the inner treasury storage.

Although anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is naturally far more than these gains, but for the sake of the soldiers' lives and their ability to do errands, it is actually not something that cannot be accepted by those who are in place.

At least after the imperial court has won this large amount of war gains, the turnover of hands that are somewhat strapped in all aspects will become more comfortable and calm, which is undoubtedly good news; Not to mention the reverse production of those parts of the country that have been justifiably deprived of the treasury, it is also possible to start openly and enriching the left treasury and the large surplus treasury.

In addition, it is necessary to measure and liquidate those newly unowned real estate land, so that the soldiers can be rewarded with land and land for their accumulated merits; On the one hand, it is to stabilize and buy people's hearts, and on the other hand, it is to save the additional expenses and rewards that the court needs.

Next, after a short rest and replenishment, take advantage of the victory to pursue the troops on the other side of the sea, and settle the blame of those local princes and vassals, who have secretly communicated with traitors and aided the puppet dynasty over the years.

Under the deterrence of the army pressing the border, at least seven or eight families can use this to abolish and transfer the feudals, or they are not state-owned, or they are divided into more small surnames, so as to reward and settle those generals and heroes who have made military achievements.

It is the basic principle that the loss in the embankment is made up from outside the embankment.

A series of good news from the south finally made the contemporary prime minister and the lord of the shogunate feel much better, and he ate an extra bowl of chicken blood glutinous and lotus heart soup during the meal.

"Sun Jingbang is bad for me, and I can't die."

"Zheng Erguan has failed to live up to the trust, and his sin cannot be forgiven."

The loud roar and the shattering sound of artifacts being smashed and smashed reverberated in the empty palace for a long time.

At the same time, Jiangning Province.

The devastation of the city is still visible everywhere, and the stone town that has been set on fire is still shrouded in the smoke of embers, and the cold river wind will not be blown away even if it says goodbye.

And in a big mansion in the city with a closed door, Cai Hou, who hid at home and had a private meeting with his henchmen, couldn't help but shiver for a while.

"After all, the general is the vision and pattern of the army."

Facing the eager eyes or anxious expressions around him, he was also sighing

"In the struggle between the party and the different parties, it is inevitably lacking a lot."

"As the saying goes, he doesn't do anything, he certainly has a decisive attitude,"

"But once we have suffered setbacks again and again, it is obvious that we have to go wrong and some of our advances and retreats."

"Since he dares to use the name of the imperial court, he is good at using swords and soldiers to sweep everything away."

"Why didn't you think that after righteousness and fame, you just declared the other party a traitor..."

"Large-scale fanfare and publicity, the other party's many evils and crimes, in order to win the truth and public opinion first."

"There will be no confusion and unrest in the local people's hearts now."

"It's probably not too late to do it."

A weak voice asked.

"Do you think it's necessary for me to remind him of this?"

Cai Hou couldn't help but glared at the other party fiercely, if it weren't for his identity as a nephew and illegitimate son, he would have ordered the person to be pulled out and disposed of. For the sake of the other party's mother, he can't keep this one by his side anymore.

"Even I have to think of making amends for myself in order to find a way out"

"And these things are one of the preparations to be used later to redeem the merits and subsequent remedies"

At this point, he paused and said

"Anyway, I've already pulled out all the books I've handled."

"Taking advantage of the turmoil in the hearts of the people left behind in the division, most of them have already arrived."

A cronie said respectfully.

"The few remaining ones are still looking for opportunities."

"It's okay already."

Cai Hou waved at him with relief.

"Just erase the key documents that I have signed and countersigned."

"And in other minor aspects, it's better to leave some evidence and handles."

"After all, as one of the messengers of marriage, did I do the work of a deaf and blind man from beginning to end?"

"Once it is erased, I am afraid that the adults of the court will not believe it, and there will be no credibility on the side of the mansion."

"That's the real trouble and the right and wrong,。。"

"Temporary seizure and dismissal, or even accountability at home,"

"As long as the mansion can remember my usefulness, there will be a chance to be reinstated and appointed in the future."

"But if you lose your Jian Ren and credibility in Dafu, it will be a real catastrophe."

"You've all memorized it for me. Don't make a fuss during this time. ”

"The more things come to an end, the more you have to serve in public service."

"The panic and anxiety of being able to be with others reflects the basic gap to it."

"Of course, the dynasty must be held accountable, but it also needs people to do things and deal with the aftermath."

"Therefore, the more calm you subordinates and subordinates are, the more you will be able to make good decisions."

"In this way, after I have personally taken most of the sins,"

"You're basically going to be fine, and you're even going to have a chance to drop out."

。。。。。。。。。。

The convoy carrying me and my entourage also arrived at the boundary near Yangzhou along the Yangtze River.

After receiving the last group of mobile troops in Jingkou to contain the enemy's situation, I no longer had any place south of the river to linger and miss.

Although, most of them have kept the basic structure intact. But after this series of turmoil and time, the number of people who can finally be collected back is still only six or seven percent of the original; As the so-called killing a thousand enemies and self-inflicting three hundred, the price of getting out of the trap is still a little shocking.

You know, these are veterans who have fought with me in the two Northern Expeditions and are proud to be qualified to serve by my side; They have survived countless swords, guns and swords, and have waded through the mountains of corpses and the sea of blood countless times, and they have not been heroic in the battlefield against the enemy; But in the process of covering my escape, they all went to righteousness, and fell into the calculations and conspiracies from the state and the dynasty, and even the siege and killing by brutal force.

Maybe there is no way to recover the remains and bones, but sooner or later, I will have to pay back this justice by dozens and hundreds.

And Cheng Xuan, the former Jianghuai transfer envoy and Jiangdong Provincial interview envoy, stood by my side and assisted in an auxiliary role; But it was such an idle hand that he casually laid out at the beginning, which was able to come in handy at a critical time.

It was only at this moment that I had no idea that he could be of so much use; In other words, what kind of interest relationship he has woven during the years in the Southeast Xingsi and Jiangdong Road.

Although most of them have been destroyed by the war, some of the remaining hidden connections and resources still provide considerable convenience and advantages for my people; After all, due to the limited capacity of the sailors entering the Yangtze River, only a small number of important members and the wounded and sick were able to accompany our ship.

The rest of the Qinzhi battalion and the navy team's men and horses cooperated, and Mu Long, the commander of the pacesetter and the commander of the Marquis of Zuoyu, temporarily commanded the commander, and after receiving the initial supplies, began to rush along the shore towards the mouth of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River;

During this period, he was able to get local news and official and military dynamic reports, and he avoided the fortifications of the cities and towns like a bamboo, and the news circulated to rush out of the blockade of the key points before the time difference, and avoid the excessive entanglement of all kinds of volunteers, people, and village soldiers mobilized in most places, most of them were due to the relationship that he secretly launched.

For example, with regard to the location of the local permanent liquidation and armament depots, and the scale of the garrison of the corresponding land and water passes and checkpoints, he was appointed as the Jianghuai transfer envoy and the Jiangdong Provincial envoy to cover the system, and he made a lot of efforts.

In a sense, this is also Cheng Xuan's vote; After all, this kind of thing can never be repeated, and the other party who provides cooperation and help does not know the purpose of his obtaining these news, but as the spread and influence of the news expands, it is only a matter of time before the clues are discovered;

Therefore, basically after his name has been used for this time, the corresponding channels have also been abolished and have little value and significance; This also means that the contacts and resources he has worked hard to operate in the southeast for many years have been exhausted overnight;

But in his rather open-minded and dishonest words, since he has made up his mind to defect to Huai Town, where I am located, and seek a place to live, it is already a candidate for the anti-party and anti-thief identified by the imperial court in the future; In this case, it is better to let these things that are destined to die play the last bit of value to further win my trust.

On the other hand, although he is a mess in the army, he is a good hand at collecting wealth and using public weapons for private purposes; However, the management methods and affairs management of the transfer envoy are very successful, and they are actually quite popular, and there are rumors in the locality, and dozens of old ministers have come to visit and greet him before leaving their posts, and they have also been coerced and taken away by my people.
