A touch of moonlight shrouded the city of Nanjing. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The whole city of Nanjing, as always, sleeps in this rich night.

Although it was getting late, and tomorrow was still the big court meeting, the study room of Chen Yizhong's mansion, which supervised the imperial history, was still brightly lit. Chen Yizhong, who had just returned from the Criminal Department and had not yet sat down with his buttocks, asked the maid to grind the ink without taking a sip of water, spread out the music by himself, and after taking a deep breath, he was about to pick up the pen and start writing, when suddenly there was a knock on the door.

"When has this been, what's the matter?" Chen Yizhong put down his pen a little impatiently and said in a cold voice, and the door was pushed open, and a servant came in cautiously:

"Qi Yu Xianggong, someone outside the house asks to see, this is a name."

Chen Yizhong was stunned for a moment: "I don't see it, I don't see it, and I don't see what time it is!" ”

"The man ・・・・・・ come back from the north." The servant hurriedly said and handed the name to Chen Yizhong, "The villain thinks it's better to see Xianggong." ”

"Oh?" Chen Yizhong subconsciously took the name, opened it and glanced at it, his face changed slightly, and he hurriedly stood up, "Hurry up and invite・・・・・・ no, I will go out to greet you in person." ”

In the cool night breeze, a man in gray stood at the door, visiting late at night, he did not recklessly break into the front hall of people's homes, but stood outside the door according to etiquette and waited. The two relatives beside him were also standing straight under the moonlight, and they were also dressed in gray, but the dark lines could be faintly seen on the clothes, and they were the people of the Daming brocade guard.

The one who can make the Jinyi Guard a personal escort must be a first-class figure among the Jinyi Guard.

"Ma Xianggong came, he missed the distance, and he hoped that Ma Xianggong would forgive his sins." Chen Yizhong walked out quickly, and he didn't have time to put on his coat, but just put it on his body casually.

Standing at the door is Ma Tingyou, at this time Ma Tingyou's face is dusty, obviously after a long journey, and the desert life in the Western Regions in the past few years has inevitably carved traces of wind and sand on his face, so Ma Tingyou looks more stable than Guo Chang, Zhang Cheng and others of the same generation, and his age looks a lot older.

For this founding Yuanrong, who is young but has already established meritorious achievements in the process of the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, Chen Yizhong certainly does not dare to slack off, not to mention the relationship between Ma Tingyou and Ye Yingwu, that is, his current identity in charge of Jinyiwei is enough to make Chen Yizhong polite.

Jinyiwei and Six Doors are secret spy organizations directly under His Majesty, and their loyalty to the Ming Dynasty is obvious to all, and Chen Yizhong has been a "mole" of Six Doors at the beginning, and he is very clear about the strength of these guys, as long as he can not provoke them, he must not provoke them, these murderous guys without blinking, although they have a strong sense of discipline, but once they are caught, then you will definitely not show mercy to your subordinates at all.

"Chen Xianggong is polite." Ma Tingyou arched his hand and said with a smile.

Chen Yizhong also breathed a sigh of relief, looking at Ma Tingyou's expression, it shouldn't be that he had committed something. Otherwise, these smiling tigers won't give you a smile at all. At that moment, Chen Yizhong made a gesture of please, and at the same time instructed the people below to make tea: "Ma Xianggong looks like he has just arrived in Nanjing City, I don't know what wind blew Ma Xianggong here?" ”

Ma Tingyou nodded, stretched out his hand and pressed it weakly: "Chen Xianggong is not polite, there are only a few words that need to be said to Chen Xianggong, after all, a certain has just arrived in Nanjing City, according to His Majesty's will, first come to a few Xianggong to talk, and then go to report to Your Majesty." ”

"But what's going on?" Chen Yizhong raised his eyebrows, tomorrow is the court meeting, and Ma Tingyou came to the door in a hurry at this time, and he just said a few words, so what's the matter?

Ma Tingyou followed Chen Yizhong into the study, and said in a deep voice: "There was a riot in the Jurchens in Liaodong, and now the town navy has already fought a lot, this news is estimated to reach the capital tomorrow morning, and someone will inevitably make a big fuss about it in the name of the big court, Chen Xianggong should be careful." ”

"There was a riot in the Jurchens?!" Chen Yizhong gasped, "At this time?!" ”

Although he is supervising the imperial history, it does not mean that he does not know anything about the current situation, at this time, the Ming Dynasty is at war on the northern and southern fronts at the same time, and even the Western Regions also have local troops, if the Jurchens set off a storm in Liaodong, then the north of the Ming Dynasty may really be involved in the war again.

Ma Tingyou nodded: "The Jurchens are not stupid, we have defeated Liaodong and driven away the Mongols, and then we will definitely vigorously suppress them, after all, the shame of Jingkang is the pain engraved in the hearts of every Han people, and it is also the mustard of these Jurchens when they see us, but fortunately, the Jurchens who were bought by Jinyiwei before reported the news, so the town navy got the news in advance・・・・・・"

"It's good that it doesn't get out of control." Chen Yizhong breathed a long sigh of relief, and then he raised his eyebrows, "Even if the Jurchens know that the situation they are facing is very difficult, they will not coincidentally make trouble at this time, even if the Ming Dynasty is still mobilizing troops on the grassland, but after all, the victory is not divided, and it is definitely not the best choice for the Jurchens to make trouble at this time." ”

Suddenly realizing something, Chen Yizhong's eyes widened suddenly, and he looked at Ma Tingyou: "Wait, it's ・・・・・・ this time"

Ma Tingyou smiled bitterly, took the teacup, and drank it directly without caring about the hot water-he was also thirsty all the way-his smile had already proved Chen Yizhong's guess.

The Jurchens are in trouble at this time, someone must have reported the news, and the Liaodong riots together, the Liaodong policy before the Ming Dynasty will inevitably be criticized, not so much to criticize the Liaodong policy, but to criticize Ye Yingwu and the military department that made this decision. At that time, Ye Yingwu and the military department will definitely focus on solving the Liaodong problem first, and will make appropriate concessions in other matters, such concessions are rare and valuable for the various families who have been forced into a corner by the imperial court.

"Daring!" Chen Yizhong slapped the table hard, and the expression on his face became more and more solemn.

If anyone really does this, it is a real rebellion and a plan for the country.

Ma Tingyou made a calm gesture to Chen Yizhong: "This matter is important and fatal, and Chen Xianggong must also understand it, which is also the reason why a certain person came to find Chen Xianggong." The Jurchens were able to receive the news, indicating that someone must have reported the news, and there must be an official covering the local state capital. ”

Chen Yizhong nodded: "Please rest assured that Ma Xianggong will draft a chapter now, and report this matter to His Majesty at the court meeting tomorrow!" ”

Arching his hand at Chen Yizhong, Ma Tingyou said in a deep voice: "Chen Xianggong, Your Majesty believes in you, and the Six Doors and Jinyiwei also believe in you, this matter is please, even if it is a startling snake now, you can't let them make a fuss about it!" ”

Taking a deep breath, Chen Yizhong returned the salute: "Your Majesty and Ma Xianggong's trust, Chen is grateful, and please rest assured that Ma Xianggong." ”

Looking at the figure of Ma Tingyou leaving, Chen Yizhong stood quietly for a long time, stomped his feet fiercely, and turned around and walked towards the study. He knew it must have been another sleepless night.

When he walked to the door of the study, Chen Yizhong Huo Ran turned around, a bright moon hung high in the air, and the direction of the imperial city was quiet. I wonder how many people besides myself have to keep their eyes open tonight? In this world where everyone fights hard with blood and sweat, why do so many people always want to make trouble.

Your Majesty, I wonder if you can continue to lead us through this time?

――――――――――――――――-

Liaodong, Shenzhou (now Shenyang).

Although Shenzhou is not the capital of Liaodong, it is an important town in Liaodong, and the grain and grass from the sea in the south arrive in Shenzhou through the port of Lushun of the Ming Beiyang Fleet (author's note: renamed from the lion's mouth) to the north, and then transported from Shenzhou to the various state capitals where the army is stationed.

It can be said that Shenzhou is the important place for the Ming Dynasty's grain hoarding and transshipment in Liaodong, and it is also the place where the Ming Dynasty's heavy troops are deployed in Liaodong, which can be said to be an iron wall. The rule of the Ming Dynasty in Liaodong was built on a triangle composed of Shenzhou, Dongning (now Liaoyang) and Jinzhou, and Lushun and Goryeo were like two huge blood vessels that maintained the vitality of Liaodong.

In the dark night, Shenzhou was already illuminated by the light of torches, and groups of Ming troops drove out of the camp amid neat slogans, and the cavalry who came and went to communicate galloped rapidly, rolling up puffs of smoke and dust. The cold wind in the night is like a knife cutting everyone's face, but in the cold night, the footsteps of every soldier are the same neat and sonorous.

With Shenzhou and Dongning Mansion as the center, the Zhenhai Navy has been continuously moving towards various state capitals, and in the direction of Jinzhou, the two Huai armies that smelled the smell of blood were also ready.

"Is there any news from Gaizhou?" Wang Huchen looked at a brigade commander who rushed over and asked coldly.

The riots began in Luyang (now south of Huazhen) and spread all the way to Gaizhou, and the intentions of these Jurchens were obvious, as long as they could occupy Gaizhou, they could block the road from Jinzhou to Liaodong to the southeast, and to the south they could hold the throat of the road from Lushun to the north, so the importance of Gaizhou at this time was self-evident.

And Gaizhou is located in southern Liaoning, there is a town navy on the north side, and there are two Huai armies in the southeast, so there are not many troops stationed, and the Jurchen rebellion has just begun to choose this breakthrough, which really surprised Wang Huchen, and even almost disrupted the position of the town navy, but fortunately, the town navy is not a dry meal after all, from the original two Huai to the current Liaodong, along the way is also a strong force killed by the corpse mountain and the sea of blood, so after the initial panic, it was quickly opened according to the order.

As long as the Ming army can quickly stabilize Gaizhou, then the two Jurchen mobs from north to south and from south to north can be contained, and the main force of the Ming army can easily solve them.

"Not yet, this road is chaotic, our cavalry has basically gone to the grassland, the number is too small, and there is no way to even ensure the smooth flow of the official road, but there has been news from Lushun that the Beiyang Fleet has gone north, as long as the Beiyang Fleet arrives in Gaizhou, even if Gaizhou is lost, it will soon be back in our hands." It was Chen Pingxi, the commander of the Third Brigade of the Zhenhai Navy, who came in, and the battle in Liaodong made him look a lot more mature, and his voice became more majestic.

Wang Huchen took a breath of cool air, although this riot was not a big deal, and even the town navy had already prepared for it - after all, the Jurchens were honest on the surface, and it was not a day or two for them to keep making small moves behind their backs - but Wang Huchen always felt that this time things were too strange.

Both the timing of the riot and the organization shown by the Jurchens surprised Wang Huchen, and he even had the feeling of a duel with the Mongol Tatars on the battlefield. The Jurchens chose the second watch to the third watch, when the patrol soldiers were least vigilant, and even the time for several cities to start was comparable, if it weren't for the news sent by the Jurchens' internal agents before, so that the defenders had some preparations, I am afraid that the current riot has become a disaster.

Of course, this news was sent half an hour in advance, and the local defenders didn't even have time to report to the authorities, although they didn't rush to meet the battle, but they were still in chaos at the beginning, and even important places like Dongning Mansion were almost in chaos.

The organization and professionalism shown by the Jurchens made Wang Huchen more vigilant, he was not a fool, and he somehow figured out what was behind this.

The enemy is definitely not only these Jurchens who have emerged, but it is unlikely that they are already exhausted Mongols, nine times out of ten they are internal enemies, and what they want to deal with is probably not themselves or the Zhen Navy, but the imperial court and His Majesty thousands of miles away. As for the identities of these enemies, Wang Huchen, as a frontier general, does not want to speculate too much, after all, his task is to suppress the riot while waiting for the will of the imperial court.

"General Wang!" Guo Chang walked in in a hurry, his face and clothes were full of mud, "Is there any news from Gaizhou?" ”

Wang Huchen smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Guo Xianggong, this is ・・・・・・"

"I just came back from Dongning Mansion, and the Dongning Mansion has been pacified," Guo Chang said solemnly, "More than 2,000 Jurchens were arrested, and after being identified by the Jurchens who took refuge in the Six Gates and Jinyi Guard, eight or nine hundred people were arrested to participate in the rebellion." ”

"It seems that our reputation in Dongning Mansion is not very good." Wang Huchen said with a smile, but there was a lot of self-deprecation in this laughter.

Among the more than 2,000 Jurchens, there must also be women, children, old and weak, so it is possible that most of the Jurchen young and middle-aged people, including some young women, participated in the rebellion.

Guo Chang nodded, was silent for a moment, and lowered his voice slightly: "A certain has already ordered all these people to be killed, and the six doors are responsible for the hand, and they have not defiled the knife of the town navy." ”

With a slight shudder, Wang Huchen Huo Ran looked at Guo Chang, but he immediately nodded slightly. He knows that the current Ming Dynasty does not have so much effort to break through the barriers between ethnic groups through influence and integration, so the simplest and most effective way is to kill people, and the enemy will naturally have no enemies, although this truth is bloody and cruel, but it is very simple.

And Chen Pingxi, who was standing beside Wang Huchen, was also stunned for a moment, his eyes unconsciously felt a little colder, and slowly fell on the map, and there were many state capitals marked with blue symbols on it, indicating that the situation in these places was unknown.

"General Qiyu, the Gaizhou riot is still continuing, and the red dragon flag of my Ming Dynasty is now only fluttering on the southern city!" A herald hurried in to give the report.

The three people in the big tent subconsciously glanced at each other, and Guo Chang's voice was a little hoarse: "General Wang, Gaizhou can't afford to lose!" ”

"I know," Wang Huchen bowed his head, "Chen Pingxi!" ”

Chen Pingxi hurriedly took a step forward: "The end will be!" ”

"Take your third brigade to aid Gaizhou, and if Gaizhou falls into the hands of the Jurchens, take it back! Everything is up to you to adapt, even if you kid poke the sky down, as long as you hold Gaizhou, Lao Tzu can carry it down for you! Wang Huchen's voice carried a strong killing intent, "A certain division will be sent to advance closely behind the third brigade, if something happens, you will come and see you!" ”

"The last general commands!" Chen Pingxi arched his hand, shook off his steps and left.

The order given by Wang Huchen is already obvious, that is, to give Chen Pingxi the power to kill alive, and Wang Huchen knows very well that this guy's interest in killing is far greater than his interest in life.

Guo Changmu saw Chen Pingxi leave, and looked at Wang Huchen with raised eyebrows: "General Wang, Liaodong can't be completely messed up, not only because Liaodong is the back road of the Eastern Route Army of the Northern Expedition, but also because the current Nanjing City is about to come in a storm, if the cold wind blows in Liaodong・・・・・・"

"I know," Wang Huchen's expression was solemn, but his clenched fists could show his confidence more, "This is the heaven and earth that the brothers threw their heads and spilled blood, and it is the place where the red dragon flag of the Ming Dynasty flutters, whoever wants to mess up Liaodong will first step on the corpse of the navy in our town!" ”
