has achieved a rare victory, Gao Yingxiang's idea, many rebel armies, should be united, to deal with the imperial army together, and their own leadership status can also be completely consolidated.

This time the ambush, Gao Yingxiang personally arranged, there are not many people who know that Lu Dao is arranged like this, he told Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, and the rest of the leaders don't know Lu Dao, this is also to prevent news leakage, the last sneak attack on Fengyang, the loss of the righteous army was too heavy, so Gao Yingxiang wondered if the news was leaked.

But such an arrangement caused a huge repercussion among the leaders of the rebel army.

The first to complain was Luo Rucai.

The relationship between Luo Rucai and Gao Yingxiang is extraordinary, every time the leader meeting is held, Luo Rucai supports him, this time the arrangement, because he didn't know, Luo Rucai had a big opinion, thinking that he didn't believe in his brothers, how to work together in the future, at least the trust didn't exist, not to mention other things.

All the leaders, at the held conference, because of Luo Rucai's questioning, they quarreled, some people thought that Gao Yingxiang's secrecy was okay, some people thought that it was too much, the two teams were-for-tat, and no one gave in.

Gao Yingxiang finally understood a fact, that is, this leader is not easy to be, everyone wants to give it a try, and it should be compared with the strength of the force, Zijin Liang was the leader before, that is because the strength of Zijin Liang is the strongest.

After arguing for a while, everyone still agreed to Zijinliang's suggestion, after the army rested in Shaanxi, it was still necessary to enter Shanxi to develop, so that it could get more supplements, as for Henan, no one mentioned it.

The biggest fear in Gao Yingxiang's heart is the Jiangning camp, if he is against the Jiangning camp this time. He definitely didn't dare to do this, thinking that at the beginning, the 4,000 people in the Jiangning battalion resisted the attack of nearly 50,000 people, and his 30,000 elite troops were all wiped out by the Jiangning battalion. Such a heavy loss is unprecedented. 、

The Jiangning battalion is stationed in Henan Mansion, and all the leaders of the rebel army are smart, and everyone will not mention the Jiangning battalion, if it is the Jiangning battalion to destroy Zijin Liang, there may be a coincidence component, but the battle of Fengyang, the central capital, has already marked everyone. Don't touch the Jiangning camp until you have to.

After Zhu Youzhen received Su Tiancheng's secret fold, he read it several times, but he was still a little hesitant.

Sun Chengzong is too old, a seventy-year-old man, is it feasible to be so bumpy, let's talk about it. The atmosphere in the court is extraordinary. The ministers of civil and military affairs all shouted, they must give the rogue color to see.

It's a pity that in such a situation, when facing the invasion of the Eight Banners of Houjin Manchuria and the Eight Banners of Mongolia, no one shouted.

What Zhu Youzhen thought of the most was the two-pronged approach that Su Tiancheng said. In his heart, he was in favor of such a proposal, and when he first levied the levy of Liao, he felt that it would not work, and this would increase the burden on the peasants. It may encourage more peasant rebellions.

But he doesn't have so much time, some things must be done immediately, whether it is within the court, or in the market, many things, understanding is highly unified, although he is the emperor and has supreme authority, but he does not dare to go against such a torrent.

After thinking about it for a while, Zhu Youzhen adopted a suggestion, that is, to appoint Sun Chengzong with the title of secretary of the military department, the governor of the military affairs of the five provinces, and be responsible for exterminating the rogue.

Sun Chengzong's task is very heavy, he must block the rogues in Shaanxi and Shanxi, and cannot flow to other places, as for what strategy to adopt, that is a matter for Sun Chengzong to consider.

Zhu Youzhen did not even seek the opinion of the cabinet on this holy decree.

The strange thing is that the holy decree of the governor of Sun Chengzong, who was responsible for the military affairs of the five provinces and was responsible for the extermination of the Liukou, did not encounter criticism, and the court was very calm.

Jiangning County, Zhongxing Society, Jingsi Hall.

Sun Chengzong, who was summoned to Beijing, had already learned of the decision of the imperial court, and such a big matter could not be hidden.

Liu Zongzhou and Lu Shanji were also making preparations and were going to Henan Mansion, and when they learned that Sun Chengzong was appointed as the secretary of the military department, the governor of the military affairs of the five provinces, and was fully responsible for the extermination of the Liukou, everyone came to congratulate.

Sun Chengzong spoke slowly, his expression was very serious.

"Thank you for your congratulations, the old man is a lot older, I can't think of going into battle, Lian Po is old, can I still eat, the old man feels a great responsibility, don't hide it from you, I got the news, the old man didn't sleep all night, the old man thought of Lord Su, I don't know what Lu Dao is for, the old man feels that this time it must be recommended by Lord Su to the court."

"Life is rare for seventy years, the old man should have been the time to investigate everything, the glory and wealth to me is really like a cloud, but the old man still can't let go, when Su went to Baoding Mansion, the old man did not hesitate, came to Jiangning County, seeing that the Zhongxing Society is thriving day by day, the old man is very pleased, and finally did something useful."

"After thinking about it all night, the old man finally understood Master Su's thoughts, when he founded the Society, he still had to do it with Confucianism, Lord Liu, Lord Huang, and the old man thought, Lord Su's original intention was to ask the two of you to support the Zhongxing Society, and the old man was kind and good, or do what he should do."

"This time I went to the capital, Shanji followed the old man together, and Lord Liu could only go to Henan Mansion alone."

"For the prosperity of the Zhongxing Society, the old man worked hard and left like this, he was really reluctant, he was old, he knew his destiny, and it was not easy to do one thing."

"Lord Liu, Lord Huang, Zhongxing Society, please leave it to you."

After saying these words, Sun Chengzong stood up and saluted Liu Zongzhou and Huang Daozhou.

Liu Zongzhou and Huang Daozhou hurriedly stood up, they didn't dare to accept Sun Chengzong's gift.

"Don't be like this, Lord Huang and I can't afford such a big gift."

"This gift, you must accept it, it's been almost two years, every step of the Zhongxing Society is not simple, the old man really hopes that it can continue to grow."

"Don't worry, Lord Huang and I will definitely do our best."

Sun Chengzong nodded slightly.

When Zhang Pu left Jiangning County, he had a long talk with the old man, he compared the theory insisted on by the Fushe, compared the theory of the Zhongxing Society, the biggest difference between the two is to treat the interests of the scholars and gentry and wealthy families, the Zhongxing Society emphasizes that the family and the country are the most important in the world, everything must serve the country, serve the emperor, and serve the court. The old man believes that when Master Su arrives in Henan Mansion, the people there will definitely be able to live a good life. ”

"Lord Liu, you are about to go to Henan Mansion, I believe you can see the changes in Henan Mansion with your own eyes, the people have enough food and clothing, and the Zhongxing Society has developed, don't forget to tell the old man."

Thousands of miles away in Henan Province.

"Lord Zhang, the palace report of the imperial court is here, and Lord Sun is appointed as the secretary of the military department, the governor of the military affairs of the five provinces, and is responsible for exterminating the Liukou."

"My lord, the lower officials already know, and the lower officials also boldly guessed that Lord Sun is the governor of the military affairs of the five provinces, and is fully responsible for the extermination of the rogues, which must be highly recommended by the adults."

"Yes, I recommended Lord Sun to the imperial court, Lord Sun has made outstanding achievements, and he will definitely be able to succeed in leading the matter of exterminating the Liukou, but in the end, it is the emperor who makes the decision."

"Working with adults these days, Xia Guan has a lot of emotion, a little ashamed, when I was in the Hanlin Academy, I was valued by Lord Zhou, I thought I was sorry, I was fluttering, I was isolated by the adults, I don't know what to do, if I didn't suffer so many blows, I would still be confused. Adults trust the lower officials, many things, are to let the lower officials do, I don't know what the lower officials do, the lower officials feel trembling, for fear that something is not done well, make every decision, is repeated thinking, multi-party comparison and consultation, so that I feel at ease. ”

"Master Zhang, in fact, this kind of process is not unusual, all along, I think that if everyone can have a cautious heart, always self-reflect, worthy of their conscience, they are gentlemen, they are husbands."

"Thank you for your teachings, these words are all golden and jade words."

"Master Zhang, you don't have to be so cautious, in the future, you will have a lot of time to handle government affairs independently, if you always have such a posture, you will inevitably be looked down upon by others."

Zhang Pu smiled.

"In front of adults, the lower officials will not lie, that is, in front of the adults, the lower officials are such a performance."

"Ha Luha, refreshing, this is the Zhang Pu I am familiar with."

Soon, Zhang Pu talked about his worries.

"My lord, the imperial army has suffered a heavy blow this time, and the lower officials are a little worried, Lord Sun is old after all, and he is not very familiar with the matter of suppressing the Liukou, I don't know if the body of Lu Dao can bear it, Henan Mansion has a special location, close to Shanxi and Shaanxi, it is impossible to stay out of the matter, not to mention that the Jiangning battalion has made outstanding achievements, I am afraid that it will soon have to take on a heavy responsibility."

"What you said makes sense, the imperial army has recently suffered a heavy blow, it is the time when morale is low, at such a time, there must be a highly respected minister to govern, so that it is possible to stabilize the situation to the greatest extent, presumably the emperor also saw this, Lord Sun is cautious, planning is old-fashioned, there should be no problem, as for familiar things, including the problem of age, it is not too big a problem, Lord Sun used to be in charge of Liaodong affairs, and he was very good at conquest matters, but it was the Jiangning camp, these days, I've thought about it, and I'm afraid I'm going to have to prepare accordingly. ”

There was some silence in the room, Su Tiancheng and Zhang Pu thought of the same aspect, Henan Mansion is in the initial stage of development, there can be no slightest mistake, such a moment, if it is transferred out of the Jiangning camp, it will inevitably have some impact, the best way, after Sun Chengzong took office, he took a steady and steady approach, did not rush to attack the rogue, and first curbed the arrogance of the rogue, so that he could free up some time and let the Jiangning battalion prepare in all aspects.
