Chapter 57: The Storm (Part II)

"What the hell is going on? Do you have more detailed information? Zhu Chongjiu slapped the secret report on the table and asked in a deep voice.

Huaiyang and Xusu have just emerged from the threat of war at the beginning of the year, and many urban and rural areas, especially those that were swallowed by floods last year, are in urgent need of recuperation. In the first half of the year, three of the five main forces of the Huai'an Army had just finished their campaign against the Yuan armies of Taiping and Jiqing, and they did not have time to rest and recuperate, and there was no shortage of ammunition, food, and grass. At this time, the Tianwan regime, located in the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River, was in jeopardy. If the Huai'an army sends troops to rescue, it will definitely lose its troops. And in case Xu Shouhui's lair is broken by Meng Yuan and the traitors, I am afraid that the next target of the Meng Yuan court will fall on Huaiyang's head...

"There are a few more, but none of them have been confirmed..."Chen Ji, the head of the military intelligence department, stared at his red eyes, and his voice was full of exhaustion. Every day, he repeatedly screens and selects from so many news, removing the chaff, which makes him tired. I can no longer see the slightest bit of the graceful Confucian demeanor when I first arrived in Huai'an, but like a shopkeeper who buries his head in the ledger all day long, even if he is tired and bent down, he can't hide his inner shrewdness.

"Let your people bring it. Including the brother who came back with the news, if he still hasn't rested, please come over and hold on a little longer..."Zhu Chongjiu thought about it, trying his best to hide the irritability in his heart.

"It's... Lord..."Chen Ji arched his hand and hurried out. After a while, he returned to the council hall with a thick stack of official documents. Immediately behind him was a fat man with a philistine face, and with every step, the fat on his belly trembled up and down.

"I've seen the chief manager here..."Chen Ji first handed over the official document to Liu Ju, the head of the guards who greeted him, and then turned his head to the fat man and ordered. Then, he raised his hand and gave Zhu Chongjiu a standard Huai'an military salute, "Report, the Military Intelligence Department has obtained a total of 26 pieces of information from different sources. Except for the news that Ni Wenjun has defected to Meng Yuan, which has been verified, none of the rest can be confirmed. Wechen has already brought Lu Xuanjie, who is in charge of intelligence gathering in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, and the lord can ask him for details at any time..."

"The last general, Lu Wen, I have seen the lord..."Captain Lu did not have the slightest military temperament, but with a big round belly, he gave Zhu Chongjiu a military salute, which looked so funny and funny.

"Captain Lu, please sit..." Zhu Chongjiu raised his right hand and solemnly returned the salute to Captain Lu Wen.

The MI was created by him after an intelligence unit on another time and space, and was responsible for gathering information on his opponents and allies. Therefore, the selection criterion is loyalty first. Image and others are far behind. And according to the tradition of this era, if the fine saku is caught by his spy target, there is no hope of returning alive at all.

The guards on duty were quick with their hands and feet, and quickly brought a chair to Captain Lu. Xuanjie Lieutenant Lu Wen was a little flattered, and sat in the corner of a chair with his buttocks, anxiously waiting for his lord's inquiry.

I saw Zhu Chongjiu frowning tightly, quickly flipping through a large pile of texts. Soon, I filtered out most of them, and then took the remaining copies and compared them again. After a while, he looked up and asked in a low voice, "What happened when Ni Wenjun killed Xu Shouhui's inner palace procurement eunuch?" ”

"Back to the lord, the specific reason seems to be because the eunuch robbed things in the market many times without paying, and beat the royal family, in the name of Xu Shouhui. However, Ni Wenjun's subordinates found out that most of the goods that were robbed were sold by the eunuchs after changing hands. The money and property obtained were also divided among the eunuchs..."Although the fat captain Lu Wen did not look amazing, his speech was very organized, and in three or two sentences, the whole incident was clearly described.

When the civil and military officials of the Great Governor's Mansion heard this, they all frowned, and their faces invariably showed a little disdain. Xu Shouhui himself was born as a cloth dealer, and he was forced to have no way to live by corrupt officials and corrupt officials, so he pulled the flag and rebelled. And the people around him grabbed the small merchants and hawkers without mercy, this is not his grandmother's forgetfulness, what is it?

"It's not enough, for this reason alone, it's impossible for the two to turn against each other." Zhu Chongjiu's gaze fell back on Wen Jiàn and continued to flip slowly.

Ni Wenjun is the third person in the Tianwan regime, and he has a heavy army. Although he swept Xu Shouhui's face fiercely, since the latter can become a prince, he is definitely not a reckless person. It is impossible to openly turn his face with Ni Wenjun without the slightest certainty. At the very least, he needs to transfer the right minister Peng Yingyu and his team back to his side first.

In the remaining official documents, all the internal disputes of the Tianwan regime are recorded, from which it can be clearly analyzed that Xu Shouhui was indeed a little carried away after becoming emperor. In Ni Wenjun's heart, he still maintains some of the ideals before the uprising, trying to establish a relatively fair country. The thoughts of the two are opposite, and without Peng Yingyu as a buffer, it is inevitable that they will keep getting dirty.

"There is another news, the last general doesn't know, I don't know if I should report it or not..."Seeing Zhu Chongjiu's brows furrowing more and more, Xuanjie Captain Lu Wen gritted his teeth and cautiously asked for instructions.

"Tell me what you know. Even if there is no basis..."Zhu Chongjiu raised his head and glanced at him again, encouraging with a little expectation.

"According to rumors," Xuanjie Lieutenant Lu Wen raised his fat fingers, scratched his fat neck, and then added very worriedly, "This kind of hearsay thing, the last general, the last general has always been reluctant to write into the official document." First, there is no way to verify it, and secondly, many of them are rumors deliberately spread by Meng Yuan, the plan is to pour feces on the heads of our Red Turban Army..."

"Don't care about the truth or not, you can tell me first..."Chen Ji waited anxiously, glared at him, and urged in a low voice.

"Yes..."Lu Wen quickly withdrew his hand and laid it flat on his knees, "The last general, the last general has been pretending to be a cloth seller, going back and forth on the Yangtze River. A few days ago, I happened to hear someone say that there are thousands of beauties hidden in Xu Shouhui's palace. Many women have completely forgotten about it after sleeping once, and will not pay attention to it a second time. But in order to preserve the face of Emperor Tianwan, these women cannot be released to the people, and can only be raised in the palace for the rest of their lives..."

"What does that have to do with Ni Wenjun?" The more Chen Ji listened, the more puzzled he became, and asked in a low voice again.

It is said that one of them is said to have had several encounters with Ni Wenjun. Because he couldn't bear the loneliness of the deep palace, he secretly sent someone to ask Ni Wenjun to save him out. Then I don't know what's going on, so the two secretly hooked up. Ni Wenjun asked Xu Shouhui for someone many times, but Xu Shouhui would rather not want that woman than give it to Ni Wenjun"

"Absurd..."Zhu Chongjiu put down the official document with a "snap...", and interrupted Lu Wen's report in a low voice, "You did the right thing, this kind of rumor really has no value." However, "

After thinking about it, he continued to ask, "When Ni Wenjun led the troops out to fight, did Xu Shouhui do anything unfavorable to him behind his back. What about Ni Wenjun's family, have they all been taken away? ”

"No, and Xu Shouhui also announced that he would marry his own sister to Ni Wenjun..."Fat Captain Lu Wen hesitated for a moment, and then quickly gave an answer. At the same time, there were three people who were married: Chen Youliang, Zou Pusheng and Zhang Dingbian. The people who want to marry are all Xu Shouhui's sisters. As long as Ni Wenjun's class teacher returned, the four of them went to the church together. Unexpectedly, Ni Wenjun quietly picked up all his family members, and then turned around and took refuge in Tartar..."

"Who else do you say? Chen Youliang... When did he go back? Zhu Chongjiu's eyes quickly lit up, and he asked loudly.

No one else had noticed the name, but he knew it well. According to Zhu Dapeng's memory, it was this Chen Youliang who killed Xu Shouhui in another time and space, and fought against Zhu Chongba in Poyang Lake. If it weren't for the large amount of artillery used in Zhu Chongba's fleet, plus the three armies that often met the Chunyong Crown, it may not be known who killed the deer in the end...

"Chen Youliang?" Lu Wen was stunned, and a few drops of oil slowly oozed from his chubby head, "The last general, the last general is not very clear." He, he's just a small thousand households. By the way, the last general remembered that he was a subordinate of Monk Peng, and together with Zhang Dingbian, he returned in order to sacrifice a prisoner to Xu Shouhui..."

"No wonder Ni Wenjun is in a hurry to rebel... If he doesn't rebel again, he will die without a place to be buried..."In the council hall, there was a sudden burst of low discussion. The core figure of Zhonghuaiyang, when Monk Peng sent an envoy to ask for help, he once saw Chen Youliang. This person was extremely impressed. And this person's return to Xu Shouhui's side shows that Monk Peng has secretly intervened in the conflict between Xu and Ni, and it is very likely that he is completely on Xu Shouhui's side.

"The last general, the last general is derelict in his duties, please, please punish the lord..." Listening to the low voices of discussion around him, more "oil beads" suddenly oozed from Lu Wen's head. got up and saluted, and said with a red face, "The last general, the last general only cares about staring at Xu Shouhui's actions, forgetting jì, forgetting jì He can still transfer troops and horses from outside..."

This is also everyone's speculation, and it may not be accurate. Besides, you've done well enough, what's the crime? Zhu Chongjiu waved his hand and encouraged with a smile, "When you come back, did you answer that Ya Badulu had already joined forces with Ni Wenjun?" ”

"Not yet..."Lu Wen raised his hand to wipe his polished head and responded loudly, "I only sent his son Polo Timur to lead thousands of soldiers and horses to Ni Wenjun's army to make a wish and boost morale." The Tartar court was particularly willing to spend money this time, and directly gave Ni someone the title of Huguang Pingzhang. The generals under his command have also been added to the ranks. And the last general also heard that the Tartar court has decided to reactivate Chakhan Timur and Li Siqi, and has given these two people a lot of official titles, ready to order the two to go south to pull our army's hind legs..."
