Chapter 295: The Key to Success or Failure

"Your Excellency Governor Qiqi, since the recruitment of troops in the Zhang Bang on April 12, within three days, my Jiangning Mansion has recruited 4,125 Ding Zhuang, and all of them have been registered and formed into an army. In addition, the 1,216 craftsman workshops in Jiangning City have also been organized and launched to start forging all kinds of weapons for our Qing army, and within a month, they can make at least 30,000 swords, 5,000 swords, 18,000 spears, 150,000 arrows, 3,000 pairs of plate armor, and 2,000 pairs of bow......s for our Qing army. ”

Standing in front of A Xixu, the governor of Liangjiang, Xie Dong, the prefect of Jiangning, did not look at the official document in his hand, and recited a series of ripe numbers without blinking his eyelids, without pausing. A Xixu nodded again and again, very satisfied with Xie Dong's work, and asked, "What about the war horse?" How many war horses can you provide for our Qing army in a month? ”

"Back to the Governor, at present, Wu is in turmoil, the horse road is impassable, and the price of horses in Jiangning Mansion is soaring, and there is often no market." Xie Dong's handsome face finally showed a look of embarrassment, and he hesitated for a moment before saying: "But it is also the blessing of the Son of Heaven, the merchants of Fusang Country heard that the price of horses in Jiangnan has skyrocketed, and it was said that eight hundred high-grade war horses were transported from the sea to Jiangnan to sell, and they are all the best Kiso horses in Fusang Country." This kind of war horse has a strong physique, is good at galloping and sprinting, and is not easy to get sick, easy to adapt to water and soil, but the price is a little more expensive, and the price of a horse is as high as fifty taels of silver. ”

"As long as it's a good horse, no matter how expensive it is, you have to buy it!" Lord A Xixu waved his hand and said in high spirits: "Right now, our army is short of horses, and all eight hundred high-grade war horses have been bought. ”

"Back to the Governor, the lowly position has been bought." Xie Dong replied respectfully: "There are also 1,500 good Japanese knives sold by this group of Fusang merchants, and all of them have been purchased, and they can be sent to the front line for military use at any time. In addition, he also purchased more than 600 war horses of various colors from the people, and informed merchants from all over the world and overseas merchants to let them transport more horses to Jiangning for sale, and all of them must be purchased at a high price. ”

As he spoke, Xie Dong held a list in front of Ah Xixu with both hands, Ah Xixu took it and looked at it carefully, and couldn't help laughing: "Okay, good, Lord Xie is worthy of being a capable official recommended by Mu Zhongcheng to this official, and he is really shrewd and capable, much better than that waste political envoy Zhang Chaozhen!" With you and Mu Zhongcheng helping the official to run errands, the official is much easier, work hard, and wait for the official to impeach Zhang Chaozhen and approve it, the official will strongly recommend you to take over as the political envoy of Jiangsu and officially replace the waste Zhang Chaozhen! ”

"Humble Governor Xie Cultivator!" Xie Dong hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to thank him, took out a stack of silver tickets from his arms, and said with a flattering face: "Your Excellency Governor, I heard that your lordship plans to send someone back to your hometown in Liaodong next month to renovate the ancestral tomb, and it is very inconvenient to think about it. ”

"Why are you here again? Last month, my unfilial son lost more than 4,000 taels of silver in the casino, all of which you paid back ....... Lord A Xixu showed a displeased look on his face, and said very unhappily: "This official is renovating the ancestral tomb, although it is inconvenient for a while, but this official is as clear as water and as cheap as a mirror, how can he accept your money?" ”

"Your Excellency, you must not say that, isn't this a death to a humble duty?" Xie Dong said with great sincerity: "Starting from the magistrate, you can be promoted to six levels in a row within seven years, isn't it all thanks to the cultivation and promotion of the governor?" Last year, there was a vacancy in the Jiangning prefect, and I don't know how many officials in the world were staring at it. The Governor-General's kindness to the lowly position, even if the lowly duty is broken bones, it is difficult to protect in case, and a little courtesy is just a little expression of the lowly position, and I ask the Governor to accept it. ”

"This official promoted you, not because you are shrewd and capable, and you are able to do things, so that this official can be a virtuous ...... for the country." Master Ah snorted, looked at the thick silver ticket in Xie Dong's hand again, and finally nodded and said, "Okay, let's not take it as an example." Xie Dong was overjoyed, quickly kowtowed and thanked him, and carefully placed the silver ticket on the coffee table next to Ah Xixu, and then retreated, leaving Lord A Xixu to count the silver tickets happily in the living room.

When leaving the governor's yamen, Xie Dong happened to meet Mu Tianyan, the governor of Jiangning, in front of the gate, and after saluting, Mu Tianyan casually asked a few words about Xie Dong's errand in the past few days, when he learned that Xie Dong's formation of the new army was going well, Mu Tianyan was also very happy, praised Xie Dong a few words and then explained: "This official is busy with shipbuilding and cannon construction during this time, preparing food and grass and military salaries, and the recruitment of the new army will all be handed over to you, do it well, Zhang Chaozhen, the political envoy who does not deal with the governor, has been ironclad, and the errand is done, When the Governor and I recommend you to take over as envoy in the court, you can speak louder. ”

"The humble duty is cultivated by Lord Futai, the grace of the adult knows, and the end of the humble duty is unforgettable." Xie Dong hurriedly saluted again and thanked him.

"Go ahead, I'm going to see the Governor too." Mu Tianyan nodded, and as soon as Xie Dong turned around after saluting, Mu Tianyan suddenly shouted again: "Lord Xie, wait a minute." ”

"Lord Futai, do you have any other orders?" Xie Dong quickly stopped and asked.

Mu Tianyan looked left and right first, and then whispered in Xie Dong's ear: "Your life-saving benefactor, has he contacted you?" ”

Xie Dong's body was shocked, and he hurriedly replied in a low voice: "Back to Lord Futai, the last time he contacted him by letter was in the ninth year of Kangxi, and since then, he has never met him again. ”

"That's good, fortunately, not many people know about this, you should keep your mouth tight, don't let others know, it's not good for you." Mu Tianyan nodded, looked at Xie Dong's expression carefully, and sighed: "Speaking of which, this official also had a relationship with him, and we were able to meet back then, and it was also because of him that we were able to get to ...... meeting." It's a pity, a beautiful woman, why is she a thief? Xie Dong lowered his head and didn't dare to say anything, but fortunately Mu Tianyan didn't continue to talk about this topic, just waved his hand to let Xie Dong leave, and he strode to the governor's yamen to meet him.

Returning to his prefect's yamen with a heavy heart, a servant maid had already come up to serve Xie Dong to change clothes and shoes, and Xie Dong's henchman Cao Guoxing brought from his hometown in Changsha also came up to salute and ask Xie Dong about the situation of being ordered to meet A Xixu, Xie Dong casually introduced a few words that everything went well. After changing into civilian clothes, Xie Dong first waved away the others, and then asked Cao Guoxing in a low voice, "That person, how is it?" ”

"Lord Hui, I have always been locked up in the utility room in the backyard, watched by the most reliable people, and I will never show my voice." Cao Guoxing replied in a low voice: "That kid is also well-behaved, he eats when he eats, wears on him, doesn't shout or scream, just says that you will definitely meet him, so he can wait patiently." ”

"I'm so confident." Xie Dong snorted coldly, and after hesitating for a moment, Xie Dong finally ordered, "Go, take me to meet him." ”

Cao Guoxing agreed, hurriedly carried a lantern, and accompanied Xie Dong to the backyard of the prefect's yamen alone, and then came to the door of a guarded utility room, after Cao Guoxing asked the guard to open the door, Xie Dong made a look and asked Cao Guoxing and others to stay outside the door, and he took the lantern and entered the utility room alone.

The room was very dark, except for some miscellaneous items that were not commonly used, there was only one table, one chair and one bed left, and there was a person lying on the bed, knocking on Erlang's leg and humming an obscene tune, and this person was none other than Li Ya, who was sent by Lu Fatzi to contact Xie Dong. Seeing Xie Dong coming in with a lantern, Li Ya suddenly showed joy and said with a smile: "Lord Governor, you are finally here, please take a seat, I'm sorry, the pot of tea on the table has already been drunk by the small one, if Lord Governor doesn't dislike it, you can do it casually." ”

"Don't scream, I'm not the Liangjiang Governor of your Wu Rebel Army, but the Jiangning Prefect of the Qing Dynasty." Xie Dong snorted coldly and put the lantern on the table, pulled out a chair and sat down.

"The little one didn't scream, as long as you agree to our general's request, you will be the ironclad governor of Liangjiang in our Great Zhou army." Li Ya replied with a grin.

"What if I don't say yes?" Xie Dong snorted coldly and asked, "If I not only don't agree, but also hand you over to the Governor, what will your general do to me?" And what can you do with me? ”

"If the Governor wanted to hand over the villain, it would have been handed over a long time ago." Li Ya always had a hippie smile on his face, and said with a smile: "If the villain is not mistaken, the governor has already locked the villain here for five days, right?" If the Governor really wants to sacrifice the villain to Mangou, he has already done it, so why wait until now? ”

Xie Dong snorted coldly, and only after a while did he say hatefully: "Back then, if he didn't save me, it would be good if he didn't save me, if he was great, he would go to prison to ask for the crime, and if he was great, he would kill his head and rob his family!" It's better than now, every day is trembling, every day is worrying. ”

"If only the Governor knew that." Li Ya said with a smile: "Our friendship between the general and the governor, although there are not many people who know, but there are also a lot, if that mouthy person accidentally stabs that incident in front of the dog, I am afraid that not only the current beauty difference and future future of the governor, but whether you can keep your head and freedom, I'm afraid it's also two words, right?" ”

"Lord Futai has known about this for a long time!" Xie Dong said angrily: "Lord Futai not only knew about this for a long time, but the reason why I was able to get acquainted with Lord Futai back then was also because Lord Futai heard that I had a good relationship with your general, so I asked him to help him get some seeds of Eight Banners Fushou Paste for the people of Fujian for the sake of being an official in the same province, and he knew everything about me and your general!" Why don't you see my head hit the ground now, I am in prison, and my future and official position are over? ”

"What about Lord Asichu? Does he know that? Li Ya asked with a grin.

Xie Dong was completely speechless, and after hesitating for a long time, Xie Dong hesitated and said: "In this way, for the sake of your general's face, I can let you go, and I can also give you three thousand taels of silver to let you out of the city, but I must not agree to your general's request." ”

"Your Excellency the Governor, have you forgotten the kindness of our general to you?" Li Ya asked with a smile: "If it wasn't for the kindness of our general back then, would you be where you are today?" ”

Xie Dong had nothing to say again, and he couldn't help but think of the scene at the New Year's ceremony, when his own master Geng Juzhong was all on the sidelines, Ao Bai also planned to use his head to humiliate Kang Mazi, so that Kang Mazi's first opening ceremony after his pro-government became a laughing stock for the ages. And the reason why he has been able to soar over the years and become the prefect of Jiangning, who is popular with everyone, is of course due to his own talents, as well as Mu Tianyan's strong sponsorship, but the reason is that he was able to get acquainted with Mu Tianyan and become a close friend, is it not because of Lu Fatzi?

"Could it be that if he saved my life, he must ask me to repay him with a Jiangning City?" Xie Dong couldn't help muttering.

"If you receive the grace of a drop of water, you should be reciprocated by a spring." Li Ya took over the conversation with a smile and said: "And our general doesn't treat you badly, Lord Xie, your lord, you helped our general take this Jiangning City, you are definitely the governor of Liangjiang in our Great Zhou, in exchange for a Jiangning City, how much advantage should you take advantage of?" ”

"Governor of Liangjiang? Easy to say! Xie Dong smiled bitterly.

"Lord Xie, do you think that our general is just talking casually and giving you an empty title?" Li Ya finally put away his hippie smile and said solemnly: "Lord Xie, you still can't see the current trend of the world?" The Mangou Imperial Court has gone in general fashion, and in just three years, our Great Zhou has eliminated the Mangou army? Now the main force of Shaanxi and Gansu has been surrounded by our prince himself, and it is only a matter of time before the whole army is destroyed, and the main force of Jiangnan with full dogs has also been killed by our general in Poyang Lake. Resist the army of 300,000 tigers and wolves of our great general? ”

"Master Xie, you should be early from the dragon, you are our general's confidant and old friend, and you have made such a miracle for our Great Zhou, can our prince and our general still treat you badly? You have a great future when you join our army, and you will only be buried in the court of Mangou if you are foolish and loyal, and you can't afford your ancestors and ancestors, and you are sorry for your Han compatriots, leaving behind infamy and stench for thousands of years, where to go, don't you understand? ”

Xie Dong was silent for a long time, Li Ya stopped talking, the room was so quiet that you could hear Xie Dong's violent heartbeat, after a long time, Xie Dong suddenly raised his voice and shouted: "Someone!" ”

"In!" The door was pushed open, Cao Guoxing and two of Xie Dong's henchmen strode up with waist knives, and Cao Guoxing asked again, "My lord, what do you command?" ”

Xie Dong raised his right arm with difficulty, pointed at Li Ya, his lips trembled for a long time, and finally said slowly: "...... him." ”

……………………

The splendid Forbidden City is the pride of the Chinese nation. However, now it has become an enemy, possessed by barbarian chieftains, entrenched by barbarian beasts, parasitized by blood-devouring moths, ugly and hideous mites rampant among them, disgusting and twisted mites live in front of the Han Dynasty, castrated minions prostrate and kowtow, Tatar aliens mate and reproduce, sow eggs to plague China, and leave a hundred poisons for eternity. There is no day, no moon at night, ghosts are in charge, and the wind is raging.

On the tenth day of the first month of April, when the news of the fiasco on the battlefield in northern Jiangxi reached the Forbidden City, Kang Mazi, the supreme chief of the Mites Qing Dynasty, stood up and stayed for more than a quarter of an hour, and then almost paralyzed back on the pseudo-dragon chair, the reason why he did not vomit blood and fainted on the spot is also because Kang Mazi has been hit too much by similar news in the past few years, and he is almost used to it, and it doesn't matter how he blows. At the same time, Kang Mazi's henchmen led by Mingzhu and Suo Etu were also all depressed, such as mourning, until Kang Mazi asked the ministers to kneel in peace, and none of the courtiers said a word, a word - because everyone knew in their hearts that the real culprit of the fiasco in northern Jiangxi was not Hilgen, nor Hargaqi or Zhao Guozuo, or even Zhangtai Beizi, but Kang Mazi himself!

Fortunately, although the battlefield in northern Jiangxi was a fiasco, the first-line vitality still existed, and the vital Anqing City was also firmly in the hands of the Qing army, so the Qing court was not completely desperate, but kept discussing how to send reinforcements to reinforce Anqing and Nanchang, and at the same time, a long-shelved issue was also put back on Kang Mazi's desk, that is, to recruit all the mites over the age of 15 and under the age of 60 in Liaodong and the capital Ding Zhuang as an army, and form an army that can reach about 80,000 people into the national battlefield. In addition, the two bills of requisitioning troops from Mongolia and Korea to quell the rebellion, as well as borrowing troops from the Rakshasa country to quell the rebellion, were also put on Kang Mazi's desk, waiting for Kang Mazi to decide whether to completely fight to the death.

The bad news kept coming, the 50,000 Baoyi army led by Tong Guogang and Zhou Peigong marched west to reinforce the trapped army in Oza, but was stubbornly resisted by the Wu army in the territory of Xunyang Mansion, and the progress is currently slow; There is also the trapped main force of Oza, which has completely lost contact with the rear, and whether it is still dying or has been completely annihilated, even the Qing army and Hanzhong army that are close at hand do not know. In the Qing court, there have also been voices of giving up Shaanxi and Gansu and retreating to Tongguan.

Immediately afterwards, there was also bad news from Henan, Wu Jun Ma Bao's army was like a bamboo, and now it has advanced into the territory of Xuzhou, and the Henan Qing army has been so empty that it is almost like a blank sheet of paper, and the Qing army in Henan is powerless to resist, in addition to being defeated or retreating, and even the qualification to stick to the city is not even qualified, Zhang Xianzhong's old department Ma Bao, who is good at wandering and fighting, has surrendered all the way to the rebellion, sucked dirt and dirt, and frantically expanded its strength, and the current strength has exceeded 50,000 people! The whole province of Henan was shaken, and there were countless bannermen who abandoned their officials and abandoned the city and fled, and there were countless Han officials, generals, ordinary people and village soldiers who took the opportunity to rebel, and the hinterland of the Central Plains was already in great chaos.

In order to prevent Ma Bao's partial division from getting bigger and bigger, Kang Mazi finally issued a secret decree and gave Zhou Peigong's strange soldiers in Luoyang City a death order to exterminate people's surnames - once Ma Bao's army threatens the safety of Kaifeng City, or enters the territory of Luoyang Mansion, Zhou Yimin, the brother of Zhou Peigong, who commands this strange army, immediately digs the embankment of the Yellow River! Turn the Central Plains into a Ze country, and use the flood to stop the Wu army from going north!

After writing down this decree in his own hand, he also asked Zhang Wanqiang to seal the secret decree, Kang Mazi called his henchman Cao Yin and instructed him: "You personally take this secret decree to Luoyang City, give it to Zhou Peigong's brother Zhou Yimin, and let him destroy it in person after reading it - remember, you must monitor him with your own eyes to destroy this secret decree, and you are not allowed to blink your eyelids!" ”

"Zha! Please rest assured, the slave must have watched Zhou Yimin destroy this secret decree with his own eyes, and he won't blink an eyelid! Cao Yin replied categorically kowtowed.

"Go, and the will will be delivered in ten days." Kang Mazi waved his hand weakly and ordered Cao Yin to go down on an errand, Cao Yin kowtowed three more times, and then hurried away with the secret decree, leaving Kang Mazi in a daze in the Heart Cultivation Palace.

I don't know how long, a little eunuch probed his brain outside the Heart Cultivation Palace, Kang Mazi's personal eunuch Zhang Wanqiang understood, and hurriedly ran to the door of the Heart Cultivation Hall to listen to the little eunuch's whispering, but after listening to the little eunuch's whispering, Zhang Wanqiang immediately looked embarrassed, I don't know if he should report to Kang Mazi immediately, and peeked at the expression. I never thought that Kang Mazi suddenly spoke, and said weakly: "Say, is there any bad news again?" The sky can't fall, I'm the son of heaven, and the sky can't hit me, let's say. ”

"Back to the master, I didn't say it was bad news." Zhang Wanqiang replied with a smile: "It was Suo Zhongtang who led the two scholars of the military department to ask for a meeting, saying that there was an urgent military situation. ”

Kang Mazi didn't speak anymore, just nodded, Zhang Wanqiang understood, and hurriedly asked the little eunuch to go down and summon. After another moment, Suo Etu, Mingzhu and Wang Xu ran into the hall in small steps, knelt down on their knees in front of Kang Mazi together, kowtowed and said: "Slave (Weichen) see the emperor, long live the emperor, long live long live." ”

"Tell me, what's the matter?" Kang Mazi said without opening his eyes.

"Your Majesty, Anqing is eight hundred miles in an emergency." Suo Etu said nervously: "Lu Yifeng, that dog thief, he is already crazy!" He didn't attack Nanchang, nor did he attack Anqing, leaving only a small number of soldiers and horses to guard Jiujiang, and led more than 40,000 Wu rebel thieves to bypass Anqing and go directly to Jiangning! ”

"What?!" Kang Mazi finally opened his eyes, a pair of mung bean eyes were almost bigger than eggs, and he stood up and exclaimed: "Lu Yifeng's dog thief killed directly in Nanjing? What is he crazy about? ”

"The minions don't understand either." Suo Etu's expression was even more nervous, "According to the report of Zhennan General Ni Yahan, Lu Yifeng's dog thief's army only carried a small amount of grain and grass, and did not have any backup, so it directly killed Jiangning, and the advance speed was very fast, as of April 14, Lu Yifeng's dog thief's rebel army had rushed into the territory of Ningguo Mansion!" ”

"Lu Yifeng's dog thief took the wrong medicine? No grain and grass, no backup, dare to fight Nanjing? What the hell is he doing?! Kang Mazi was even more shocked, and hurriedly asked, "Where is Hilgen?" Why didn't he send troops to intercept it? ”

"Old General Hilgen...... has died of a violent illness." Mingzhu took over the topic and added: "In addition, General Niyahan reported that when Lu Yifeng's dog thieves went east to fight Jiangning, the old general Hilgen always thought that Lu Yifeng's dog thieves were diverting the tiger from the mountain and wanted to lead our Qing army out of the city for a decisive battle, so he ignored it, who would have thought that Lu Yifeng's dog thieves would be like crazy, ignoring the grain road and retreat, and rushed directly to Jiangning!" When General Hilgen understood the plan, he vomited blood and died in anger, and the position of commander of the Anqing army in our Qing Dynasty has been taken over by General Niyahan. ”

"Get a map of the country!" Kang Mazi yelled, and Zhang Wanqiang crawled to get the map. Mingzhu added: "Master, after discussion, the minions think that there may be three reasons for Lu Yifeng's dog thief's move, one is that Lu Yifeng's dog thief attacked the enemy after the big victory, and he killed himself. The second is that Lu Yifeng's dog thief's attack on Nanjing is fake, and it is true that the rebel army that responded to Geng Jingzhong's dog thief went north, and it will not really hit Nanjing, and it will soon kill to the southeast, enter the territory of Zhejiang, and attack our Qing Zhejiang army with Geng Jingzhong's rebel thief before and after. ”

"And what about the third reason?" Kang Mazi hurriedly opened the map and asked hurriedly.

"The third reason may be that Lu Yifeng is completely sure to win Nanjing City." Wang Xu finally spoke, and said in a deep voice: "So for him, as long as he can take Nanjing City, the problem of grain routes and backup is not to worry, and the financial, manpower and material resources near Nanjing are enough to support him to fight alone, without any reinforcements and logistical support!" ”

"What's even more terrifying is that once Nanjing City falls into the hands of this dog thief, then the biggest source of wealth for our Qing Dynasty will be gone!" Suo Etu trembled and said: "The taxes in the Nanjing area account for more than half of the taxes paid by us in the Qing Dynasty!" The grain produced also accounts for more than half of the grain produced in the whole country of the Qing Dynasty! Once Nanjing is captured by him, the minions dare not imagine what the consequences will be. ”

"I know this better than you, don't be wordy!" Kang Mazi yelled angrily while nervously observing the map, and at the end, Kang Mazi asked again: "Then in your opinion, how sure are Lu Yifeng's dog thieves to take Nanjing?" ”

"This ......, the minions can't predict it." Mingzhu's expression was extremely difficult, and he said after a while: "However, according to the analysis of the officials of the Ministry of Staff, the possibility that Lu Yifeng's dog thieves can capture Nanjing is very small, because Lu Yifeng's dog thieves advance on light horses, even if they can successfully attack the city of Nanjing, the army is already extremely tired, and the grain and grass are almost exhausted. Otherwise, it would be impossible to support Lu Yifeng's nearly 50,000 thief army for a long time by plundering the people's grain storage. ”

"In addition, General Niyahan has followed the deathbed orders of the old General Hilgen, and has also dispatched 25,000 Anqing troops to return to Nanjing City with all his might." Wang Xu added: "In addition, General Niyahan has also sent an official letter to General Mahada in Zhejiang for help. Basically, as long as Nanjing City can hold in front of Lu Yifeng's thief army for three days, General Niyahan can enter the city for reinforcements, and if it holds for another fifteen days, General Mahada's army can return to the city of Nanjing, and the defenders of Nanjing can flank Lu Yifeng's thief army before and after, and annihilate this exhausted thief army has a great grasp. ”

"So, isn't the situation so bad that it gets worse?" Kang Mazi breathed a sigh of relief and asked again, "How many troops are there in Nanjing City?" ”

"Back to the master, there are 20,000." Suo Etu took out a fold from his sleeve and replied: "In addition, Shangshu has just received a six-hundred-mile expedited from A Xixu, the governor of Liangjiang, saying that in view of the fact that Wu rebelled against the army and soldiers of Anqing, for the sake of safety, A Xixu did not have time to ask for an order, and had already ordered the local officials in Nanjing to recruit a new army, and at the same time used the customs money and the pleasure of the wealthy merchants in Jiangnan to prepare to form a ...... within a month. ”

Speaking of this, Suo Etu, who had forgotten the number of new armies formed by Axixu, hurriedly opened the fold and read: "Axixu ordered Mu Tianyan, the governor of Jiangning, to build 150 warships and 200 artillery pieces, and at the same time prepare 800,000 stone of military rations and 1.5 million taels of military salaries. He also ordered Xie Dong, the prefect of Jiangning, to recruit 25,000 new troops, and mobilize workshops throughout Jiangning to build all kinds of weapons needed to form the new army. ”

"This Ah Xixu, take precautions, do a good job, and don't ...... in vain." Thinking of the great achievements made by Zhou Peigong's Baoyi Army just formed, Kang Mazi nodded his head and praised A Xixu's precautionary move. But halfway through the words, Kang Mazi suddenly remembered something again, and hurriedly asked, "Wait, who is Axixu sending to recruit the new army?" ”

"Back to the master, Lord A is to let Jiangning Governor Xie Dong be in charge of this matter." Suo Etu replied respectfully: "Zhang Chaozhen, the political envoy of Jiangsu, has been suspended for dereliction of duty and embezzlement, and Lord A has arranged for Xie Dong, the prefect of Jiangning, to be in charge...... Wait, thanks...... Jiangning Governor Xie Dong?! ”

Speaking of this, Suo Etu didn't have the courage to continue talking about anything, and when he looked up at Kang Mazi in fear, he found that Kang Mazi was already dumbfounded, and when he turned back to look at the two military department Shangshu Mingzhu and Wang Xu, he found that they were also dumbfounded. After a long time, Kang Mazi asked tremblingly: "When did this Xie Dong become the prefect of Jiangning?" Why am I not impressed? ”

"Back to the master, the minion is no longer impressed." Suo Etu replied tremblingly: "Historically, the selection of officials at the prefect level, unless there is a special purpose, is selected by the ministry, and the seal of the South Study is requested. Probably because this Xie Dong was too inconspicuous before, so the slave ......, but he didn't ...... I didn't pay attention to the ......, and I forgot ...... Forgot. ”

"Bang!" Before the words were spoken, the inkstone on the Kang Mazi pseudo-dragon case had already smashed into Suo Etu's head, smashing Suo Etu's head and bleeding, and his face was covered with ink. Immediately afterward, the beast-like howl of despair also echoed wildly in the Heart Cultivation Temple............

"Quick! Eight hundred miles to rush to A Xixu, and Xie Dong, the prefect of Jiangning, will be suspended immediately! Removal! Take! Cut it! Lu Yifeng, dog thief! Xie Dong, dog thief! The two of them must have hooked up together! ”

(To be continued)
