Chapter 746 Suppress the thief, suppress the thief, which thief is the one?

（0746）

[Today's third shift is delivered]

When Zhang Zhun was busy in the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, there was a person who was also busy. This person is Yang Sichang, who is highly valued by Chongzhen. He succeeded Lu Xiangsheng as the premier of the five provinces, and recently moved his business to Baoding Mansion, which attracted the attention of many well-intentioned people.

According to ancient customs, the fifth day of the fourth month is the Qingming Festival, which is a festival to go to the grave. Every household in Baoding burns cold clothes, paper money and paper cuts when the sky is unclear. Inside and outside the city, here and there, from time to time there were mournful weepings. The third time the Tartars entered the Kou, they really killed a lot of people, and around Baoding Mansion, many people were killed. In addition, there are even more relatives who died in the first two invasions. Especially those refugees who hid in the city, during the Qingming Festival, they could not go home to worship their ancestors, and they cried loudly because of their sorrow. For a time, the crying in the city shook the sky.

But in the vicinity of the Governor's Quarters, the streets and alleys are very quiet. Since Yang Sichang arrived in Baoding, this area has been full of sentry posts, and idlers are not allowed to stay, and there is no sound of selling. Today, because of the military meeting, the security is tighter, and the streets are quiet, and pedestrians are cut off. Those residents who were close to Xingyuan, who wanted to go out of the city to sweep the tombs, had to go out quietly through the back door. Those who want to cry at home don't dare to cry loudly.

Outside the gate, the officers and soldiers were like forests, bright helmets and bright armor, swords, guns, swords and halberds flashed cold light in the plain mist. A pair of five or six zhang high flagpoles hung two apricot yellow flags, the left one embroidered with "General Yanmei", the right one embroidered with "Three Armed Forces Governor", which were all made by the tailors in a day and a night.

In addition, there are two lines of flags erected outside the gate, each row is five, relatively even, the pole is one foot high and three feet, the flag is seven feet, all are flame-shaped apricot yellow flag edges, and the flag center is according to the color of the five directions. A flying tiger is embroidered in the center of each flag, and the color is prescribed according to the so-called principle of the five elements. For example, the flag representing the east is cyan, while the flying tiger in the middle is embroidered red, the red flag representing the south is the yellow flying tiger, and so on. These ten flags are called the Flying Tiger Banner, which is the gate flag of the governor's line.

This street has been cut off from the common people, and even the horses of civil and military officials have to stop at a distance of ten feet from the gate and then come on foot. The purpose of this was simply to increase the majesty of the Governor. The senior civil officials of the Ming Dynasty were very fond of this kind of style, otherwise, it would be difficult to shock those arrogant soldiers.

"Knock"

"Knock"

"Knock"

Three cannons rang out, and the door was wide open.

From the gate to the lobby, it is a deep two-entry compound, and a two-door in the middle. There was a guard standing outside the second gate. From the second gate to the bottom of the lobby steps, there are also two lines of guards standing on both sides of the wide stone-paved rain road. In the courtyard of the two entrances, there are many military flags of different colors and forms, embroidered with colorful patterns according to the five elements and the myth of the twenty nights.

Under the stone steps outside the second gate, next to a stone lion on the left, there is a huge Chinese army seat made of dark green satin, inlaid with white silk flame-shaped edges. The apricot yellow tassels on the flagpole are five feet long, with tassels on it, and are decorated with beads. A silver spear is exposed on the tassel. The center of Daxu is embroidered with red Taiji diagram, surrounded by hexagrams, and the outside is the stars such as fighting, bull, house, heart, etc.

The lobby is called White Tiger Hall, and two seven-foot-long leopard tail flags are erected under the steps, and the head of the flagpole is a sharp blade. This is a sign of the military aircraft land. This kind of flag was erected outside the door, and officials of all sizes were not allowed to enter without permission unless there was an order from the commander, and violators were punished. If you meet those serious managers, it is completely possible to take them down on the spot, behead them on the spot, and present them to the head on the spot. Yuan Chonghuan beheaded a guerrilla general in this way. If you cut it, you will cut it, and others will not even dare to put a fart.

In the last years of the Ming Dynasty, the commander's orders were not met, and military discipline was abolished, which became a common situation. Therefore, Yang Sichang began to promote the council members today and tried his best to correct the accumulated evils of the past, and instructed his subordinates in advance to make serious arrangements to show the prestige of the governor's auxiliary ministers, so that the civilian and military generals who were summoned could feel that this atmosphere was very different from when Lu Xiangsheng was in office, and they knew what they were afraid of.

After the first cannon fired, the civil and military officers entered the Renyuan Gate one after another and waited solemnly outside the second gate. After the second cannon fire, military music was played in the second gate. Yang Sichang was wearing a second-grade civil official crane mending uniform, a jade belt around his waist, and a black gauze hat on his head, and walked out slowly from behind the screen surrounded by a large group of officials. He sat down behind the Nanmu Gong with a red satin brocade curtain in the center, and two young and dignified deacons, holding Shang Fang's sword and the "Governor's Auxiliary Minister" Great Seal, stood on either side, and all the staff members also stood solemnly on both sides.

Emperor Chongzhen's support for Yang Sichang was indeed unsparing. He understood that Yang Sichang could not enter the cabinet for the time being, and could not have much power, and ordinary generals might not sell his accounts, so he specially gave Yang Sichang the sword of Shang Fang and gave him the power to cut first and then play. Such a Shang Fang sword, whether it was Chen Qiyu in the past, or Hong Chengchou and Lu Xiangsheng in the future, did not have it. This naturally added a bit of majesty to Yang Sichang.

The military generals of the Ming Dynasty were originally very afraid of civilian officials, because of the convention of emphasizing literature over military force. Ordinary military generals do not dare to disobey the will of civilian officials at all. This is true even in times of apocalypse. However, in the Chongzhen Dynasty, due to the use of troops everywhere, the court's dependence on military generals became more and more heavy, which made the practice of emphasizing literature over military force gradually changed. Some powerful veteran military leaders have become the targets of civil official taboos, and they generally dare not take it lightly.

Cheng Qiguan walked to the front of the White Tiger Hall and ponted, and the sound in the second gate was like thunder. The civil and military officers waiting outside the second gate were led by the prefect of Baoding Prefecture, followed by dozens of people such as the superintendent of the military road, the general army, the deputy general and the staff general. The civil officials wore tonal uniforms according to their ranks, and the generals were neatly armoured, carrying bows and arrows and swords. According to their grades, the civil and military officials successively signed up for Yang Sichang to pay homage, bowed and stood solemnly, waiting for instructions.

Yang Sichang didn't lecture immediately, and he didn't let everyone sit down. Because today was a special day, he first led all the civil and military officials to the north to pay four congratulatory salutes, and then ordered the civil and military officials to sit down. The military music stopped. The silence in the White Tiger Hall and in the courtyard was unusual. Yang Sichang stroked his beard, swept it at everyone with a blazing gaze, and then slowly stood up. All the civil and military officers stood up, bowed their hands, held their breath, and waited for instructions. Yang Sichang cleared his throat and began to speak.

"I am loved by the emperor, in charge of military affairs, I should repay the emperor with death Lu Xiangsheng is incompetent, misleading the country and misleading the people, it is not enough to regret the death of the emperor, and I have spared his life, if I were him, I would die of shame" Yang Sichang first quoted the emperor's dictation, and reprimanded Lu Xiangsheng fiercely, his tone and expression were very serious.

Yang Sichang's purpose in doing this is, of course, to kill chickens and show monkeys. Because a large part of the troops led by Lu Xiangsheng was the Tianxiong Army formed by Lu Xiangsheng himself, only Zu Kuan and Zuo Liangyu did not belong to the sequence of the Tianxiong Army. If Yang Sichang wants to reorganize the army, he must first start with the Tianxiong army. Emperor Chongzhen's scruples are also this Tianxiong army with the nature of private soldiers.

Glancing at everyone with a gloomy gaze, Yang Sichang continued: "This governor is deeply favored by the emperor, and he has a heavy responsibility and vows to destroy the thief. Either the world has received the favor of the country, or has been recognized by the present, you should work together to make up for your mistakes in order to repay Your Majesty. In the future, the first thing to do in cracking down on thieves is to rectify military discipline, and those who have meritorious service will be rewarded and those who are guilty will be punished. If there is any neglect of military orders and ineffective combat, the governor has Shang Fangjian in his possession, and the adjutant general and below will be cut first and then played, and the deputy general and above will be severely impeached and punished, and there will be no leniency."

Yang Sichang understands very well that in Chongzhen's mind, Tartar is just a temporary ferocious robber, a disease of delicate mustard, and it is not fatal to the Ming Kingdom. Because, no matter how the Tartars burned, killed and looted in Beizhili, they would eventually go back to Liaodong and Guanwai. Only thieves in the mainland are the henchmen of the imperial court and the deadliest enemies of the imperial court. Therefore, Yang Sichang's great cause also starts with the suppression of thieves.

Of course, this is also what it means to avoid the important and trivialize. After all, at the moment, it is absolutely impossible for the army of the imperial court to collide face-to-face with the Tartars. Even the Liaodong cavalry who rose up and dived was defeated by the Tartars, and his army, the number of cavalry was seriously insufficient, how could he be the opponent of the Tartars? Therefore, Yang Sichang's words just now did not mention Tartar at all. Anyway, no matter whether the Ming army attacked or not, the Tartars had to retreat. After the Tartars retreated, the imperial army was faced with a group of rogue thieves.

Under the pressure of Shang Fang's sword, the generals were shocked and did not dare to look up. Yang Sichang's new official took office with three fires, of course, no one would stupidly send himself to Shang Fang's sword. At the same time, some people quietly tasted every sentence of Yang Sichang and pondered the meaning of every word in it. They felt that the new governor's words seemed to contain a lot of meaning. Could it be that the imperial court is ready to sit idly by and ignore the Tartars completely?

Now in Beizhili, there is still one army, that is, the Tiger Ben Army led by Zhang Zhun. The Tiger Army and the Tartars did fight a lot of battles, and it is said that they did kill a lot of Tartars. Since Yang Sichang didn't mention the Tartars at all, does that mean that the imperial court is ready to let the Tartars and the Tiger Ben Army fight, and then recuperate on the side, wait for the Tartars and the Tiger Ben Army to lose both, and then go up to pick up the bargain?

Such a plan seems to be beautiful indeed. However, the cruel reality is that the Tartars suffered a loss from the Tiger Army, and turned around to find trouble with the Ming Army. This is how Gao Qiqian suffered a big loss. Therefore, if the imperial army wants to completely watch from the wall, it is difficult for you not to take the initiative to provoke the tartars, the tartars are injured, but they want to come to the imperial army to heal their wounds

Yang Sichang gave another lecture, nothing more than encouraging everyone to rectify military discipline, be loyal to the country, save the people from fire and water, and become the cause of the country's prosperity, and so on. As for the future combat strategy, he only said that it was for the sake of secrecy, and then gave instructions separately. All the civil and military officials present at the meeting were deeply impressed by Yang Sichang's auxiliary demeanor and his lectures, some of them felt afraid, some people felt excited, and some people felt suspicious.

Of course, there are people who are a little uncomfortable in their hearts. Some generals feel that this Yang Sichang has no problem speaking, and he talks endlessly, but it is difficult to say when he really fights. Lu Xiangsheng himself speaks slowly and logically, but he is very brave when he fights. No one wants their manager to be a braggart person. Emperor Chongzhen replaced Lu Xiangsheng with Yang Sichang, and many people were not too optimistic.

Most of the people who think like this are the generals of the former Tianxiong Army. They followed Lu Xiangsheng all the way to fight and had deep feelings for Lu Xiangsheng. Lu Xiangsheng was arrested and imprisoned, and they were naturally implicated. Almost all of them have been deprived of their military power, and they have become part of the people who stand on the sidelines. Yang Sichang didn't want to see them, and they didn't want to see Yang Sichang. However, people are under the eaves and have to bow their heads, and they have to endure it for the time being.

Originally, they thought that Lu Xiangsheng would definitely die this time, and Lu Xiangsheng himself felt that there was no possibility of getting out of prison, but they didn't expect that at the last moment, it was actually a turn of the peak, and Chongzhen actually forgave Lu Xiangsheng. Lu Xiangsheng was actually released from prison alive. However, they soon learned the truth. Lu Xiangsheng's life was bought by someone with a lot of money. This person is most likely Zhang Zhun. Gao Qiqian is just a pretense, and the person who really pays for it is Zhang Zhun of the Tiger Army.

No matter what Zhang Zhun did, he wanted to save Lu Xiangsheng's life, and Lu Xiangsheng survived after all. For the vast number of officers and men of the Tianxiong Army, this is indeed good news. However, for Yang Sichang, the news is not very good. For this reason, some of the original generals of the Tianxiong Army were closely monitored by Yang Sichang.

After the lecture, Yang Sichang swept everyone with a dignified eye, instructed everyone to go down to rest, wait for the meeting, and then left the seat, bowed his hand to everyone, and retreated to the inner courtyard surrounded by the staff. All the civil and military officials bowed down and crossed their hands to see each other, and only after he left did they withdraw solemnly from the White Tiger Hall in turn. They did not dare to leave the governor's office, and waited for an audience. After a while, I saw Cheng Qiguan walking out of the White Tiger Hall and shouting: "Please Huguang Town, Chief Soldier Zuo."

Zuo Liangyu's heart froze slightly, hurriedly took a look at his clothes, and then stepped forward. He felt just now that Yang Sichang's gaze had been patrolling back and forth on his body many times, as if he was measuring something. He estimated at the time that Yang Sichang was likely to summon him. Unexpectedly, my conjecture really worked. I don't know if Yang Sichang is looking for himself, is it a good thing or a bad thing?

Cheng Qiguan led Zuo Liangyu through the White Tiger Hall, then through a large courtyard, and came to the front of a small courtyard. Outside the moon gate of the small courtyard, there were two guards with swords in their hands, and the leopard tail flag that had been planted in front of the steps of the White Tiger Hall just now had been moved here. Looking in from the moon gate, there is a hall with three bright and five dark in the depths of the bamboo and wood, although it is not very grand, but it is a painting of carved beams, exquisite and abnormal. In front of the hall, hang a red lacquer plaque, on which there are the words "Festival Hall" in black lacquer written by Lu Xiangsheng.

Zuo Liangyu felt both honored and worried about his head being summoned. When Lu Xiang was promoted to prime minister, he had been to this place many times, but now his heart was beating unusually when he came. Unconsciously, Zuo Liangyu quietly slowed down and adjusted his breathing to calm his inner emotions. He could sense that his fate might be about to change.

Suddenly, I heard a message from the herald: "Zuo Zhen has arrived", and then a voice came from the festival hall, "Please", a lieutenant general of the Chinese army greeted him from the small courtyard, and another attendant officer hurriedly raised the scarlet satin plywood curtain with black edges in the festival hall. Zuo Liangyu walked a few steps, and as soon as he climbed the three stone steps, he arched his hands and reported loudly: "Huguang General Soldier Zuo Liangyu See the Governor" immediately entered the door and quickly knelt down and saluted.

Yang Sichang had already decided to use the method of "grace and power" to control a fierce general like Zuo Liangyu, so he was not humble to his big salute, but just stood up and returned the salute, with a slight smile on his face, and did not say anything. He was secretly looking at Zuo Liangyu, measuring this person's heart, and wondering whether this person could be used for himself.

Under Lu Xiangsheng's command, there are two generals, which are very special. One is Zu Kuan, he is a person from Liaodong, with a very deep background, and ordinary people can't be offended. Lu Xiangsheng wanted to govern Zu Kuan, but he was also powerless. Zu Kuan is currently under the jurisdiction of Hong Chengchou temporarily, and Yang Sichang does not need to pay attention to it. The other one is Zuo Liangyu in front of him.

Zuo Liangyu was also born in Liaodong and also came from Liaodong, but his relationship with Liaodong Military Town is not particularly deep. This person's greatest ability is to pull strong Ding and expand the army. The general general officer has 120,000 people under his command, which is already a lot. But Zuo Liangyu's subordinates have sixty or seventy thousand people, which is really terrifying.

"Left Town, Sit"

Yang Sichang said quietly.

After Zuo Liangyu saluted and sat down, Yang Sichang first asked about the recent combat situation, the shortage of troops and salaries, and gave some instructions on some urgent issues. Zuo Liangyu told the governor that there were more than 53,000 people under his command. Yang Sichang smiled lightly, and then called out in a slightly cordial tone: "General Kunshan"

Zuo Liangyu quickly stood up, saluted with crossed hands and said, "Don't dare, my lord." ”

Yang Sichang did not let Zuo Liangyu sit down, but continued: "Kunshan, you are a person who can make a difference, so Mr. Shangqiu Hou pulled the general into the ranks and put him in the position of the commander of the army, which can be described as a lesson for people. However, since ancient times, those who have been generals often have a lot of achievements and are arrogant, and they can't cheer up their vitality and protect their current reputation. Every time I read a history book, I often cover it up for a long time. ”

"Today is the time for the country to employ people, and the general is also in the year of promise. In the future, he will either be crowned a prince and a marquis, his name will go down in history, or he will live up to the country's grace and be ruined, and he will be ruined, all of which are in the general's own way. Today, the heavens are wise, make great efforts, make meritorious contributions to the ministers, learn from the details, and punish the guilty, without pretending, and want to be known to the general. ”

"The defeat of Luo Monkey Mountain, the emperor was very angry, General Gu Nian still has military exploits on weekdays, not comparable to other generals who are cowardly and regretful to death, only degrading the general three poles, not severely punished, in order to see the after-effects. After the governor bowed to the emperor, he said to the emperor that you have the talent of a general, and the soldiers can also be used, and implore the emperor to be extra gracious, forgive the previous sins, restore the original rank, and make you a thief general, which has been approved by the saint. ”

"In the governor again, I thought that the seal of the general of the thief would be sent soon. The general must make several great achievements in order to repay His Majesty's grace and live up to the high expectations of the Governor. The emperor's grace is immense, and we have to be broken to pieces to repay it."

Zuo Liangyu is a native of Liaodong, and he was promoted because of Hou Sui's appreciation. Don't look at Hou Sui's dead face, in front of Chongzhen, he is always half-dead, but he actually has a good eye. Therefore, Zuo Liangyu has always been very grateful to Hou Sui. Yang Sichang naturally understood this, so as soon as he opened his mouth, he lifted Hou Sui out to show his closeness.

Because of Hou Sui's relationship, Zuo Liangyu was subordinate to Lu Xiangsheng, and he did not respect Lu Xiangsheng very much. Lu Xiangsheng doesn't like Zuo Liangyu very much. Because Zuo Liangyu, like Zu Kuan, likes to kill good people and take risks. Originally, the thieves retreated, and the local people were fine, but as soon as the two came, the officers and soldiers were even more cruel than the thieves. Everywhere I passed, it was almost a white field.

Zuo Liangyu also likes to rape women very much, and he is even better than Zu Kuan. Zu Kuan's troops killed, and there were some fish that slipped through the net, Zuo Liangyu's troops killed, but they first surrounded the city, and then killed it, and almost no one could escape. Therefore, Zuo Liangyu killed many more people than Zu Kuan. With these two people under Lu Xiangsheng's command, it is simply impossible to do great things.

Yang Sichang didn't care about Zuo Liangyu's vicious killing character. In his opinion, as long as the thieves can be exterminated, it is not a big deal to kill the good and take the merits. Those local people, for the time being, do not follow the thief, does not mean that the future will not be the thief, since they may be the thief in the future, they will simply kill it now, so as to prevent future troubles. This is the so-called weed-cutting and root-eradication strategy. Kill all the people in the area where the thieves are active, and the thieves will naturally be extinguished without the supply of soldiers.

Zuo Liangyu understood that Yang Sichang was soliciting himself, so he hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, and said loudly: "This is the emperor's heavenly grace, and it is also cultivated by the governor." Liangyu is broken bones, and it is difficult to repay in case. As for the matter of suppressing thieves, the last general has already set a purpose: there are thieves without me, and there are no thieves with me. If you don't wipe out the thieves for a day, you will not be able to sleep and eat. ”

This is an unmistakable expression, I, Zuo Liangyu, have decided with you Yang Sichang. Lu Xiangsheng is a dog thief, I have long forgotten him. As for the Tartars, since you, the Governor, don't mention it, of course I, the chief military officer, will do it, let alone mention it. If you want me to help you kill desperately, then I'll continue to kill even harder.

Yang Sichang achieved the purpose of solicitation, and was in a better mood, so he said with a smile: "Kunshan, please." Please sit down and talk casually, without being too formal. ”

After Zuo Liangyu expressed his loyalty again, he stood up and said slowly: "The last general will take a seat."

Yang Sichang changed his intimate tone, and then said: "The general is loyal and righteous, and this governor has already heard of it. I heard that every time Kunshan passes through Shangqiu, he does not avoid suspicion, and he will go to the hall to bow to the old Mr. Taichangqing Bitang to ask for peace, and the deacons are very respectful. This incident can also be seen that the general is loyal, virtuous will be repaid, and will not forget the old kindness. ”

Mr. Bitang is Hou Sui's father, his name is Zhipu, the word Bitang, the official is too Changqing during the Apocalypse, and he returned because of Wei Zhongxian. Hou Sui served as a squire in the military department back then, guarding Liaodong, and happened to meet Zuo Liangyu, so he promoted him all the way. Zuo Liangyu has not forgotten his benefactor, and as long as he has the opportunity, he will definitely express his gratitude to Hou Sui's father.

Zuo Liangyu replied respectfully: "If there is no cultivation by Lord Shangqiu, there will be no today." Although the last general does not read poetry and books, and does not know a few big characters, he heard that Han Xin will never forget the kindness of a meal, not to mention that the Hou Mansion has a great kindness to the last general. ”

Yang Sichang nodded in approval, and said with a smile: "This governor and Mr. Wakaya are family friends. I heard that Mr. Wakaya has a philosopher named Fang Yu, who is a dynasty and is young, but his poetry is very rooted. Have you ever seen Kunshan? ”

Zuo Liangyu hurriedly said: "At the end of three years ago, I passed by Shangqiu and met this Hou Gongzi. ”

The Hou Fangyu mentioned by the two is Hou Sui's eldest son. Hou Sui's table word is Ruogu, which should be taken from the meaning of humility and Ruogu. Hou Sui is known for his dead face, and he ignores everyone, even Emperor Chongzhen. But his son is really handsome and chic, and he is stylish. His most famous deeds are naturally entangled with Qin Huaiyan's Li Xiangjun.

Yang Sichang said with some regret: "I originally wanted to send someone to Shangqiu when I passed through Henan, and asked the brother of Chaozong to come to Baoding Zuoli Wenmo, but later I heard on the way that he had gone to Nanjing, which was very unfortunate. ”

After a pause, Yang Sichang suddenly asked, "According to the general, what is the top priority at the moment to suppress thieves?" ”

Zuo Liangyu said without thinking: "The most important thing is the full salary of the soldiers. ”

Yang Sichang pondered for a moment, and then asked: "What is the need for foot soldiers and full salaries?" ”

Zuo Liangyu said casually: "Military attaches are not afraid of death, and civil officials don't love money." ”

Yang Sichang understood that Zuo Liangyu's love for money was due to Lu Xiangsheng's feelings. Lu Xiangsheng's subordinates are generally based on spiritual encouragement, supplemented by material encouragement. This made Zuo Liangyu feel very dissatisfied. With a boss like Lu Xiangsheng, how can he Zuo Liangyu fill his pockets? Zuo Liangyu hoped that Yang Sichang could get more money and food for the troops, so that he would have the opportunity to put more money into his pocket. This military attache is not afraid of death, civil officials do not love money, ten words, completely fooling people.

However, Yang Sichang didn't seem to hear it at all, but nodded lightly, and said slowly: "Kunshan, you said that military attaches are not afraid of death, and civil officials don't love money, which is indeed very important, but it is only one aspect." In my opinion, the current situation of the army is really worrying. If, as it is today, the authority of the court only extends to the governor, and the authority of the governor does not apply to the general, and the general's order does not apply to the soldiers, even if there is no shortage of food, how can it help? It is hoped that after the general returns to the defensive area, he will earnestly rectify the situation, and he will set an example for all the troops and live up to the ardent expectations of the governor. If we can sweep away the arrogant soldiers and lazy habits, so that the soldiers dare not take the national law as a child's play, and work together to fight the king's affairs, even if there are ten Gao Yingxiang, one hundred Zhang Xianzhong, and one thousand Li Zicheng, what trouble cannot be extinguished"

Zuo Liangyu said in his heart, we are in Beizhili, and there is still a long way to go from Gao Yingxiang, Zhang Xianzhong, Li Zicheng and others. The Governor has never forgotten to suppress the thieves, is he going to return to the Central Plains and continue to fight against the Shaanxi Liukou? Suddenly, Zuo Liangyu thought of Zhang Zhun's name. He had a flash of inspiration, could it be that the thief Yang Sichang said was not Gao, Zhang, and Li, but Zhang Zhun? Who knew that when he thought of this, his thoughts were immediately interrupted.

Yang Sichang stared at him with shining eyes, and said earnestly: "Kunshan, this governor is going to ask you to move to the Daimyo's Mansion. ”

Zuo Liangyu was suddenly a little stunned.

Move to the Daimyo's Mansion?

What does the Daimyo Mansion do?

Dealing with Zhang Zhun?

Although Zuo Liangyu likes to kill good people and rape women, he is not a fool. He is a figure who has crawled through the battlefield, and he still knows some military strategy. As soon as he heard that he was going to move to the Daimyo's Mansion, he knew that the imperial court was going to deal with Zhang Zhun. At present, what the imperial court is most worried about is that the Shaanxi thieves and Zhang Zhun collude with each other. If this is the case, the momentum of the thieves will be even greater. Zhang Zhun seems to be still the 37th battalion of Shaanxi Liukou. Yang Sichang wanted to move the Daimyo's Mansion by himself, that is, to sever the relationship between Zhang Zhun and Shaanxi Liukou.

In addition, one of the purposes of moving the Daimyo's Mansion was also to prevent the Tiger Ben Army from entering Henan. The Tiger Ben army has already occupied the city of Jinan, and the next step is very likely to attack westward and occupy Zhangde Mansion and other places in Henan. If the Tiger Ben Army enters Henan, then, His Royal Highness the Fu King in Henan, will definitely have to call desperately to save the soldiers. In order to avoid the further deterioration of the situation in Henan, Chongzhen made such a deployment.

"Isn't that a deliberate attempt to send me to death?"

"Am I a thief general, or a dead general?"

Zuo Liangyu said secretly in his heart, and couldn't help but feel a chill.

Once he moved to the Daimyo's Mansion, he would be attacked by the Tiger Ben Army and the Shaanxi Thieves. For the Shaanxi thieves, Zuo Liangyu still has a little confidence and courage to fight, and there is nothing to fear. However, for the Tiger Army, Zuo Liangyu's heart has no bottom. Even Tartar is not the opponent of the Tiger Army, how can he Zuo Liangyu be the opponent of the Tiger Army?

However, do you reject Yang Sichang? Zuo Liangyu smiled bitterly in his heart. At this time, it is definitely unwise to reject Yang Sichang. Needless to say, Yang Sichang's words must have come from Emperor Chongzhen's instructions. Before the Tartars left, Emperor Chongzhen wanted to stick a nail in the Tiger Army. And he is the unlucky nail.

Yang Sichang said solemnly: "The general is in the prime of life, and he should take advantage of this time to work hard and win a name in history." Once the thief is successful, the court will not hesitate to reward the marquis. ”

Zuo Liangyu listened to these words, and smiled even more bitterly in his heart. Since Yang Sichang has made up his mind to go to the Daimyo's Mansion to garrison, he will definitely not dare to disobey the order. The Governor's sword can be slashed first and then played. I had no choice but to go to the Daimyo's Mansion first. He hurriedly pretended to be greatly moved, and said the words "swear to serve the country".

Yang Sichang was very satisfied with Zuo Liangyu's answer. He felt that Zuo Liangyu was quite knowledgeable and took refuge in time. This person is still available. He smiled slightly, took the teacup, and said softly, "Please drink tea"

Zuo Liangyu knew that the summons was over, so he hurriedly bowed down and said goodbye.

Yang Sichang only sent it to the outside of the curtain, bowed his hand slightly, and turned around and retreated to the festival hall.

After returning to the mansion, Zuo Liangyu didn't mean to be happy at all, but looked very uneasy. Originally, the title of General Ping Thief was still very precious. There are many ordinary military attachés who are attached to the rank of chief military officer, and very few who are attached to the rank of general. Because the general seals of the Ming Dynasty are very few in number and cannot be repeated. A turnip and a pit, and I don't want to have more.

However, thinking of dealing with Zhang Zhun and surviving between Zhang Zhun and Shaanxi Liukou, Zuo Liangyu was in an obscure mood. Zhang Zhun is a fierce tiger, blocking the tiger's way down the mountain, it is quite dangerous. If you don't even have your own life, even if you give it to a hussar general, it's all for nothing

"What should I do?"

"What should I do?"

"What should I do?"

Zuo Liangyu was so anxious that he looked like an ant on a hot pot.

【Asking for a commuter pass......】
