The news of Liu Cheng's defection was confirmed, and it was a few days after Ni Liangxu's death. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In the past few days, Ni Liangxu's body was first discovered, but all the items on his body that could be identified were taken off by Liu Cheng and others, and he rarely interacted with people on weekdays, until the martial arts academy confirmed that he was missing, not absent from school, and finally had a result.

There was only one knife wound on the chest, which was a fatal wound, and the shape of the knife edge was quickly determined to be a saber of the Zhejiang Ming Army. And with the confirmation of Ni Liangxu's identity, it was found that Liu Cheng, who was on sick leave, was also missing during the investigation according to his interpersonal relationships.

After investigation, the traitor Liu Chengnai was bewitched by a Jiangxi scholar named Zou Zhuoming and decided to defect. And Ni Liangxu of the Martial Arts Academy is likely to be unwilling to rebel, so he was killed by Liu Cheng......"

"Liu Cheng."

Tsai carefully recalled that this man who took the initiative to join the army at the foot of Dalan Mountain was appointed as the captain of the Fourth Mandarin Duck Array Killer Team because of his outstanding martial arts. After the battle of Siming Mountain Palace, with the expansion of Tiantai and the invasion of Jinhua Mansion, step by step, when the Fubiao camp went south, he defended Yiwu without a city wall, and was promoted to the guard general of Dongyang County, hanging the rank of guerrilla general, at that time it was second only to Li Ruixin, Wu Dengke, Lou Jiye, Yin Yue and Chen Guobao, the five generals under the senior generals. Qian Bin, the deputy general of the Zhejiang Inland River Division, who died in Lanxi last year, was just a guerrilla general at that time, at the same level as him.

But it is such a general with a bright career, but he was at both ends of the rat head in Cao Conglong's rebellion. The word right can make people crazy.

"Due to the suspicion of Liu Cheng's defection, our company has sent a special person to review the rebellion case of Cao Conglong, the governor of Zhejiang in the sixth year of Yongli. Discovery: In the fifth year of Yongli, Liu Cheng served as the guard general of Dongyang County, and there was a subordinate in the family, Cao Conglong had been serving in the outer house before the rebellion, but he disappeared afterwards. The situation was chaotic and this person was not found. Yesterday afternoon, the personnel sent to Dongyang County also brought back news that the body of this person was also dug up in the backyard of the house where Liu Cheng lived at the time, and it was confirmed that he had killed him. ”

In Cao Conglong's rebellion, Liu Cheng sent people to make a detour to report to Chen Wen on the one hand, and colluded with Cao Conglong on the other hand. But once he found that Cao Conglong couldn't do anything, he first killed Lu Wenlong to kill him, and then turned against him, eliminating the possibility of Cao Conglong supporting him.

At that time, facing the huge military pressure of Chen Jin and Jin Li, the internal investigation could not be carried out comprehensively due to the chaos of the rebellious gentry. There is not enough evidence, it is a relatively safe plan to put it in the recruit training camp as a training officer to refrigerate, including Liu Cheng at that time, a total of four officers were refrigerated, and the other three are now their own children, content with their own responsibilities, and live a small life of a wife and children hot kang, only at that time Liu Cheng, who was the highest rank, has never been at ease.

According to the investigation, Liu Cheng had little contact with these three officers on weekdays, but he had very diligent contact with Ni Liangxu. There are also a few officers who have some overlap with them on weekdays, and this is the list. ”

After taking the list, Chen Wen swept it at a glance, Wu Dengke, An Youfu, and a few officers of his old subordinates knew at a glance on their resumes.

"In addition, through interrogation, we learned from the gentry who assisted Liu Cheng and others to escape from Jinhua Mansion that the Jiangxi scholar named Zou Zhuoming was the grandson of Mr. Nangao Zou Yuanbiao. This time I came in the name of paying homage to a friend on behalf of my deceased father, and this person has also accepted the official position of praise painting from Hong Chengchou's Nanchang shogunate. ”

"Zou Yuanbiao?"

"Exactly."

Zou Yuanbiao is one of the three monarchs of the Donglin Party who can be ranked alongside Gu Xiancheng and Zhao Nanxing, and he is bigger than Huang Zongxi's father Huang Zunsu. And Zou Yuanbiao's son Zou Deqi was Chongzhen's fifteenth year of Enke Jinshi, the last governor of Luoding Prefecture in Guangdong in the Chongzhen Dynasty, and died in Guangdong in July of the fourth year of Yongli.

"Even the deceased father has used it, Hong Chengchou, a dog traitor, is really good at teaching people to learn badly, I really don't know if this thing can bring Zou Yuanbiao back to life."

While Chen Wen was coldly ridiculing, he was repeatedly thinking about how to minimize the impact of this vicious defection incident in his mind. It's just that the officer of the Intelligence Department in front of him couldn't care about his usual cautious words and deeds, and fell to the ground on one knee.

"Great commander, internal supervision is the responsibility of the last general, and if something like this happens, it is also the fault of the last general. I also hope that the big handsome will be followed for the sake of the last general's follower for many years, and let the last general personally remove this mongrel! ”

"It's not your fault, none of the three officers defected, only he defected with the best performance in the past two years."

The principles and systems of internal supervision were set by Chen Wen after Cao Conglong's rebellion, and were mainly aimed at those officials and generals in important positions and Chen Wen's subconscious enemy, the gentry class.

These people are the main targets of the intelligence personnel in charge of internal supervision in the Military Intelligence Department, and cold storage figures like Liu Cheng were originally within the scope of supervision. However, his performance in the defense of Jinhua, as well as the intercession between Wu Dengke and An Youfu, led to Chen Wenhe's Military Intelligence Department lowering his supervision level according to the system and based on his excellent performance. As a result, as soon as the referee turned around, this guy directly gave the opposing player a blind eye, which was really unexpected by everyone.

"In response to Liu Cheng's defection, the task of the Military Intelligence Department now is to find out where this person is. However, don't startle the snake, I'll decide what to do with it. ”

"The last will obey."

After the officers of the Military Intelligence Department left, Zhou Jingting came to Chen Wen's office, he was in charge of propaganda work, and he was naturally indispensable for handling this matter.

"Guogong, it was the lower officials who rejected Liu Chengna's application to join the Huaxia Revival Association."

Chen Wen already knew about this, but he didn't expect Zhou Jingting to take the blame as soon as he entered the door.

"Director Zhou, do you remember the oath?"

"Yes."

"Then do you think Liu Cheng can do what he did in the oath?"

The answer is obvious, but Zhou Jingting still has a sense of guilt that "if I had agreed to the application at that time, this old subordinate of Chen Wen might not have defected".

Zhou Jingting is Chen Wen's brother-in-law, and his feelings for this anti-Qing clique are naturally completely different from those of other civilian officials, not only because of his effectiveness, but also because of his brother-in-law's private property. Now that he has seen that his private property has lost some scum and has been picked up by the Manchus, in addition to his anger at the betrayer, self-blame is inevitable.

It stands to reason that Liu Cheng has followed Chen Wen for a longer time, and Chen Wen should be more angry. In fact, as soon as he learned the news of Liu Cheng's defection, he was also furious, but after looking at the world from a historical perspective for a long time, he quickly recovered.

Because he knows that no matter how good the system is, it will not be able to cater to everyone's needs, and no matter how powerful the brainwashing machine is, there will always be a rebellious mentality. In the process of the rise of every group in history, there will always be defectors of one kind or another, people are individuals, they can't adapt, and it is not surprising to leave. Just like the future generations, don't you like the working environment, and you can't tolerate job hopping?

Of course, job-hopping can't be used in this era, because now job-hopping doesn't mean changing jobs, but about changing ideas in the relationship between men and women, or cheating. When he said this, it is estimated that Zhou Jingting must not be frightened, especially since his sister is still Chen Wen's wife......

And Liu Cheng, in fact, is not as simple as changing jobs. War is a matter of life and death, and the war with the Manchus is even more related to the survival of Chinese civilization, Liu Cheng, as an officer in the Ming army in Zhejiang, knows a lot of information that is still secret to the Manchus, and it will also cause internal unrest, which can be said to be likely to cause great damage and impact.

The only thing to be thankful for is that Liu Cheng does know a lot, but the refrigeration in the past few years has made it possible for him to obtain as much information as he imagined, otherwise why would he take the risk to pull Ni Liangxu in, isn't it the relevant knowledge that Ni Liangxu learned in the martial arts school?

"When I was in Dalan Mountain, I once said that the road I am going to walk on is full of thorns and bumps, and I will not stop and wait for those who can't keep up. As for someone like Liu Cheng who wants to use his mantis arm as a car for some rights, I don't mind crushing him. ”

Hearing this, Zhou Jingting unconsciously stood up straight, Chen Wen was not affected by this little pickled matter, he was still full of fighting spirit for the future, and he naturally couldn't waste time on self-pity.

"Wait for the Military Intelligence Department to find out the situation, and criticize it fiercely in the Huaxia Revival Association and the "Zhejiang Di Bao". As for Ni Liangxu, he first collected the corpse, posthumously sealed the position of a chief military officer, and sealed the heir. In addition, bury it in Zhou Qingui's group, where he will belong. ”

………………

"The concubine is foolish, Liu Cheng is criticized in the "Zhejiang Di Daily", the more ruthless he is, the more Tatars will reuse him."

Zhou Yueying did not have the slightest objection to Ni Liangxu's disposition, she had seen this man with her own eyes, and she had two confrontations with him. For the indebtedness of the Sun family, and her use of the combat effectiveness of the Ming Army in Zhejiang to threaten Ni Liangxu for the safety of the Baitou Army of Luochengyan, so as to achieve the purpose of getting out, and Ni Liangxu's actions in the past two years summarized after the incident, all show that this is a man who attaches great importance to affection. Burying him with his brothers in life and death was a consolation to him.

However, she objected to Liu Cheng's disposition, because Chen Wen's approach may have reduced some of the bad effects in the Ming army-occupied areas, but it will inevitably backfire on the Manchu side, and it will promote Liu Cheng.

"Don't you think that when Liu Cheng arrives at the Tartars, we will be able to better understand how much strength the Tartars still have?"

Hearing this, Zhou Yueying was stunned, and then quickly covered her mouth. It's just that there is a faint doubt and incomprehension in his eyes.

"You're crooked."

Seeing Chen Wen smiling and shaking his head, Zhou Yueying was relieved. Since Chen Wen led the troops, although there are many people outside who say that he is cunning, but in Zhou Yueying's opinion, he has always been straightforward and confronted with the Tartars, even if he uses some strategies, they are often some scheming, and naturally it is impossible to do what she just guessed, such an unprovoked thing to send an officer to the Manchu side as a senior undercover agent.

"What the husband means is that if Liu Cheng is not used in the Tartars, it means that the Tartars still have confidence and spare strength; If the guy has to be used by the Tartars, it means that the Tartars are declining day by day, and they have reached the point where they refuse to let go of any life-saving straw? ”

Now it is the eighth year of Yongli and the eleventh year of Shunzhi. On the Southern Ming side, the Southwest Ming Army with the Great Western Army as the main body occupied Yunnan, Guizhou, and most of Guangxi and a small part of Sichuan, Huguang, and Guangdong, but it was divided into two factions: Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo; The strength has gradually surpassed the Fujian Ming Army and the Kuidong Ming Army, and now the Zhejiang Ming Army, which is second only to the Southwest Ming Army, has successively recovered the eight provinces in eastern Zhejiang, and has gradually gotten rid of the two-line siege of the Southeast Qing Army; With the Zhejiang Ming Army sharing the military pressure, the Fujian Ming Army is also stronger than in history, but there is only half more Zhangzhou on the territory; As for Kui Dongming's army, it is still the same as it was.

In contrast, the Manchus possessed an entire Yangtze River north of the Yangtze River, which also controlled Jiangxi and Jiangnan, as well as most of Sichuan, Huguang, Guangdong, Fujian, and the smaller half of Guangxi and Zhejiang.

In general, even if the Southern Ming side is added together, the national strength and military strength are far from being comparable with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, especially north of the Yangtze River, how much surplus power the Manchu Qing still have, which is completely a mystery to the Southern Ming generals.

And Liu Cheng, who is not only a Han Chinese, but also a rebel general of the Ming army in Zhejiang, which is now the most vigorous, whether the Manchu Qing appointed him or not, and even to what extent he was reused, could perfectly show Chen Wen how much war potential the Manchu Qing still had, and it would be of great benefit to the future policy and the grasp of the general timing of the attack. As for Liu Cheng, if he failed to survive on the Manchu side, he would be a traitor at most, and there would be no pity at all.

"The wind never ends, and the rain never ends. The lady is really smart, and she can see through it at all. ”

Solemnly bowed, Zhou Yueying turned around and pouted.

"When I say this, I probably mean that the concubine is a stupid woman."

"Who dare?" As he spoke, Chen Wen waved his fist. "Who dares to say that my Chen Wen's lady is stupid, see that I don't have big ears to slap him."

Covering his mouth, he snorted, and the sweetness echoed in the study. After a while, Chen Wen held the pair of soft crests in his palms with both hands, and then said slowly: "Lady, it may not be long before I will go on the expedition again, but I am afraid that I will not be able to accompany you and the child for the time being." ”

As soon as these words came into her ears, Zhou Yueying's heart couldn't help but feel a little bitter, but she also knew that men should put their careers first, and there were very few people she could help Chen Wen, so naturally she couldn't distract Chen Wen.

"Don't worry, husband, there are so many people in the house to take care of the concubine, and my mother also said that she will come to accompany the concubine for a while, and it will be fine. Besides, the husband is a great hero, and he is the hope of the people of the Han family in the southeast, so don't think of a concubine as a concubine. ”

hugged Zhou Yueying in his arms, but Chen Wen didn't know what to say at all. In this way, he was relatively silent, but his mind had already melted together. It wasn't until a long time later that there was a knock on the door.

"It's time to eat."

Gently holding Zhou Yueying's hand, Chen Wen walked towards the door. Unexpectedly, when I opened the door, I saw not only Zhou Yueying's dowry maid, but also an officer from the Military Intelligence Department, who was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. (To be continued.) )
