It was Liu Yuanbin's military camp, and the Shandong representatives dressed as businessmen were only ten talking in Liu Yuanbin's official office, Liu Yuanbin sat in the back of the handsome case in a daze, and the military generals below who were close to him all bowed their heads deeply and did not dare to look at people.

Shandong's hint is actually extremely obvious, everyone knows what the other party is talking about, but what they let them do is a bottom line in their hearts.

These people have developed such a feeling in their hearts since they were young, the emperor is heaven, how can people do anything to the sky, what does the sky let people do, and heaven can decide the life and death of people, this is all a matter of course.

The few businessmen who came over, except for the person who led the way to greet him, who was a brother of the Chang family of the Jinju Liu family, the other four were all intelligence officers of the Inventory Division.

Shandong Inventory Division, in addition to the integration of upper-level resources, unified allocation, the original structure has not changed much, divided into two lines, light and dark, Lingshan Commercial Bank branches and Shandong stores with other names everywhere, is an institution in the open, and the Shandong Salt Gang is still doing things in secret.

The shop in the open place has the obligation to cover for the people in the dark, so these spies are often dressed as merchants, and the composition of the Shandong Salt Gang is the most complex in the entire Jiaozhou camp, with three religions and nine streams, all-encompassing, at the beginning it was indeed mixed, but after a few cleanings, the rest are those who are loyal to Shandong and act according to the rules.

Coincidentally, the rest of the people are those Jiangyang thieves in the past, most of them are green forest giants, and there are also a small number of local heroes, these people have a lot of scenes before they entered the Shandong Salt Gang, they are all bare-handed foundations, natural adventurers.

The four people who came here today were all well-known figures in Shandong's underground society back then, but they never felt that they were so high-spirited at this moment.

Although their faces were calm and calm, and they talked eloquently to Liu Yuanbin, the first-class eunuch of the Ming Dynasty, they all felt that life could have today, and this life was not wasted, and they were just local figures.

In this room, there was a period of inexplicable silence, so quiet that the soldiers on duty outside shouted worriedly, and asked everyone in the room if they wanted tea.

It's also a code. If no one answers the interface. That's what went wrong inside. The people from outside were about to rush in and start their hands.

One of the generals scolded in a sullen voice. The room continued to be quiet. The envoys sent by Shandong were also panicked. There you wait for a reply.

It's quietly already irritating. Liu Yuanbin sat down, and several generals exchanged glances with each other. Look at Liu Yuanbin sitting on it again. Liu Yuanbin, who was in his early fifties, was lying on the seat at this time. Don't look up either. This is not the way to go.

Liu Yuanbin's guerrillas were encouraged by their peers. hesitated. coughed. This finally attracted Liu Yuanbin's attention in his seat. Look at the look of the guerrilla ground. Liu Yuanbin nodded. The guerrilla urn asked angrily:

"Excuse me, gentlemen. First went to the Beijing camp, and the soldiers and horses were scattered everywhere. But there are almost 50,000 or 60,000 people. In addition, the remnants of the 70,000 soldiers in the border towns of Xuanfu always come out of the ground. Say something that Liu Dugong blames. Our henchmen are less than 20,000. It's going to be a ruckus. It's hard to protect yourself! ”

If it was really Liu Yuanbin, these 20,000 soldiers did something. Although it was Admiral Liu Yuanbin who controlled the soldiers and horses of the more than 200,000 Beijing battalions. But there are also nobles and ministers who lead the Beijing camp. There's a lot of trouble here. In other places, there is a direct name that does not listen to the command. Or the king of the army.

There was a person who spoke, and the atmosphere was a little lively, and another staff member said:

"If we really make trouble, I'm afraid that our own soldiers and horses will collapse, but apart from our own pro-soldiers, what else can be restrained, I can't say!"

Several envoys in Shandong glanced at each other, and they all looked with contempt; if they had not deducted ordinary military salaries to support their relatives and soldiers, and engaged in such differential treatment, how could there be such a thing of not being able to control the troops, and how could such troops be the enemies of Shandong, it was a complete joke.

The envoy who had spoken earlier beckoned to his companions, and several of them got together and whispered a few words, and the man stood up again, and said with a smile:

"General Liu, General Zhao, Wei Guerrilla, Li Guerrilla, you have a total of about 1,500 pro-army generals, counting 1,200 of Father-in-law Liu's personal guards, this is 2,700 people, and counting the soldiers trained by Father-in-law Liu in the past two years, it adds up to almost 5,000 people."

After saying this, even Liu Yuanbin, who had been lying there, opened his eyes wide, and the few generals below were even more disgraced, it turned out that Shandong knew the names of several of them, and even how many pro-army generals they had in their hands were clear, such an enemy was too terrifying.

"Five thousand people, in the east of the city, how to break the attack, 10,000 steps back, if there is really that dangerous moment, Gonggong Liu, my marshal has a promise, as long as you hold on for eight hours, my Shandong soldiers and horses will arrive."

After saying this, the room was quiet again, and after half a ring, I heard Liu Yuanbin laugh a few times, he straightened up in the chair again, and his voice was louder, and he said:

"Since Qi Guogong has already done this, our family and the sons below naturally have no reason not to do it, but there are a few requirements to talk about."

Since he was willing to make a request, then everything would be easy, and the envoy who spoke was a little polite, bowed down and said:

"Father-in-law, please speak, Shandong is not unreasonable, whatever is reasonable, I will try my best to meet it!"

These words are also soft and hard, but Liu Yuanbin can't care about this, he said after a little heaning:

"Our family's property has been discussed, and my son's son below must not be encroached upon in Shandong, but our family has heard of Shandong's Tuntian Grange practices, and the rest of the people in Beijing don't care about our family, but more than 20,000 Chu troops are from Huguang **, if we let them be like other captives, slaves are generally enclosed in the Grange, our family will not do it, and please ask the Lord of Qi Guogong to be gracious and give them a better placement, our family does not ask for anything else, let them become ordinary people, and after following our family for so many years, there must also be a settlement."

Several Shandong envoys glanced at each other again, and one of them replied quite affirmatively:

"Since Gonggong Liu said so, this is not a problem, but you have to be in the Tuntian Grange for three years as a Tuntian civilian household before you can go out to serve the people, which is also the rule of Shandong, and the father-in-law must understand."

The more Liu Yuanbin said the Spirit Sutra, the more full he became, nodded, and said:

"Just a few people calculated, our family and Erlang's almost 5,000 soldiers and horses can be used for land, these soldiers and horses are also trained for a lot of money, it is a pity to disperse in vain, our family is cheeky to ask Qi Guogong and his old man to arrange, can we make these people into armed salt to maintain local law and order, first, the brothers have a way out, and secondly, they also help Qi Guogong."

After saying this, several businessmen sitting below looked at each other, but the atmosphere suddenly became tense, and several generals under Liu Yuanbin all put their hands on the hilt of their swords.

Arrange these more than 5,000 combat-effective Ming troops, presumably the generals and military attaches above will also be accepted and placed in the local area as armed salt, this matter has become a bit big, but these businessmen did not get this authorization in advance, Liu Yuanbin said on it:

"Our family knows that Qi Guogong is a believer, but this matter is too big, so we must do a good job of the back road."

The merchants glanced in the direction of the Jingshi City, gritted their teeth, and the person who spoke out stood up again, and said hesitantly:

"Gonggong Liu, this matter can also be decided in the next few people, and it is necessary to return to the Duke of the Kingdom to decide, but in the next rash words, this matter is not a big problem, but these thousands of soldiers are afraid that they will be reorganized and reorganized first, and the specific province in which they are stationed is also undecided.

Having said that, it was enough, Liu Yuanbin said lately:

"A few people, please go back, that matter, our side will finish it as much as possible before the end of the year...... If it can't be done, anyway, Shandong soldiers and horses are invincible, then come and do it yourself. ”

Before they came, the envoys sent by the Inventory Division had actually done a lot of preliminary work, and today's interview was the end of it.

Although Liu Yuanbin, the eunuch of the Admiral Jingying, replied vaguely, and he had been mentioning conditions in the process of talking, the last sentence had already achieved a better result than expected, and it was enough to go back to his life and make a contribution.

The two sides have always been polite, but when they sent it out, they did not follow the etiquette and sent out a military general with enough status, but just sent a personal soldier leader to send it out.

Those confidant generals and Liu Yuanbin all stayed in the official office just now, presumably to discuss what happened just now.

The voices in the room were so low that even the closest soldiers could not hear what was being said, and only a few words could be vaguely heard.

“…… The Five Cities Terracotta Division, the small ones have some acquaintances......

“…… The palm print of the Imperial Horse Supervisor was originally ......"

"Fanzi...... It's long gone......"

When it was getting dark, there were many people from the camping camp on this side running towards the city, and in a large cart shop south of the capital division, a knight put the letter on his body, and hurried to Shandong, where news would come back the day after tomorrow, if possible.

The sentinel of the Shandong Salt Gang system of the Inventory Division stared outside Liu Yuanbin's barracks, this eunuch promised to do it a year ago, but it was the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month, but there was no movement yet.

On the twenty-sixth day of the twelfth lunar month, one of the Shandong merchants who came to visit Liu Yuanbin on the 23rd came to his camp.

Li Meng's handwritten letter confirmed by the seal promised that if this was done, Liu Yuanbin and his 20,000 Chu troops would be arranged to be sent to the Huguang area, and those who were unwilling to be soldiers would be divided into civilians after three years of tuntianhu, and Liu Yuanbin's more than 5,000 people would be sent to the prefecture and county at the junction of Sichuan and Huguang to be armed salters.

After getting this letter, Liu Yuanbin and his generals were completely relaxed, and another requirement on the letter made them feel more at ease, Qi Guogong asked them to maintain law and order in the capital, and not allow riots and robberies in the capital and other vicious incidents, as far as possible to maintain the status quo ante, smooth transition, Shandong made such an order, that means that it is not a warlord who takes a vote and leaves, but has long-term considerations.

On the night of the 28th day of the lunar month, one or two firecrackers were occasionally heard in the capital, and I don't know whose family was still preparing for the New Year.

However, the whole capital soon quieted down, the emperor was desperate, the rich and noble people were watching, and the common people were waiting.

Just after the second watch, before the third watch, in the cold winter night, Liu Yuanbin's camp suddenly became noisy, and seeing the people and horses of all departments running out in neat clothes and lining up, I knew that this was an action that had been prepared for a long time.

In the midst of this run, if anyone slowed down, the officers did not scold, but simply whipped them with a stick or a whip, and for most of the hour, the soldiers were already in formation, which was already a rare high efficiency for them.

The wooden platform in front of the camp was brightly lit, and Liu Yuanbin, the admiral eunuch who rarely appeared in front of the soldiers, stood on the wooden platform surrounded by several generals.

It didn't take long for each soldier to get a shocking news, there were traitors in the Forbidden City who tried to rob the saint to the Tartars outside the Guanwai, and now the time was urgent, and the rules were no longer taken into account, and the army went directly to King Qin.

As long as you are not a fool, everyone knows what to do in the capital, but Liu Yuanbin has always been not harsh to the soldiers, which is enough to control the troops, and everyone can even guess whose shadow is flashing behind this entry into Beijing.

At this time in the middle of the night, the nine gates of the capital were already closed, but when the army silently opened to the gate, the middle and lower-class officers and soldiers were surprised again, the city gate was already open, and there were even lanterns prepared for them......

On the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth month of the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, the people of Beijing who got up early in the morning are now guarded by heavily armed soldiers of the Beijing camp at various intersections, and there is an atmosphere of solemnity in the whole capital, and the news gradually spreads at noon.

Emperor Chongzhen was assassinated by the Manchu Tartar assassins who infiltrated Beijing, and the eunuch Wang Chengen sacrificed his life to save the Lord, but he also died tragically.

The assassins had been besieged and annihilated by the soldiers and horses of the Beijing camp who had entered the city overnight, and Wang Chengen, the eunuch of the Beijing camp who temporarily maintained the security of the Beijing division, proclaimed:

"The Beijing division is in turmoil, please enter Beijing as soon as possible to preside over the overall situation......"

It was on this day that the Chongzhen Chronicle ended, and it is said that when the Assassins killed the emperor, they strangled him with white silk instead of a sword.

……

Absurd! ——
