Chapter 299: I'm Going to Beijing

The Ming general Kong Youde launched a mutiny and led his troops back to the Shandong Peninsula, and Sun Yuanhua, the governor of Denglai Erzhou, was fighting with Kong Youde. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 The info news reached Shanxi, but Zhang Chu's reaction was to take Sun Yuanhua to Zhongyang.

"When a governor of the imperial court comes to Zhongyang, will he be with us?" Zhu Jishi first raised questions.

"We don't need him to be with us, and I didn't take him to Zhongyang to join the gang. I wanted to save him because of his accomplishments in the use of artillery. Zhang Chu patiently explained to Zhu Jishi and Guo Xiyuan.

"There are also people who surpass the security forces in the use of artillery." The security forces now rely mainly on firearms, and the use of various artillery forms has an overwhelming advantage over officers and soldiers on the battlefield. Guo Xiyuan did not believe that there were still people in the imperial court who had more artillery knowledge than the security army.

"Most of the artillery knowledge of the security army is explored from actual combat, and the Western instructors invited are not very familiar with Chinese culture, and there are difficulties in communication between the two sides, and it is very difficult to raise the artillery theory of the Chinese to a new height, which requires a person who has studied both Chinese and Western and has actual combat experience to summarize the artillery knowledge in Chinese and then popularize it in the army." Sun Yuanhua is such a good candidate. Sun Yuanhua was a student of Xu Guangqi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites of the Dynasty, and had many contacts with Westerners who came to China to preach, learned a lot of new Western doctrines, and trained a new army in the Denglai area, hired Westerners as instructors to operate artillery using new methods, and he himself wrote a book about artillery, which was a rare talent, and it was a pity that he was killed by Chongzhen in this way. If we can get him out, even if he is not of our use, a man like him may be able to create something that will move society forward if he lives a few more days in the world. "In the last years of the Ming Dynasty, a group of sober-minded Chinese appeared, Sun Yuanhua was one of them, and it is a pity that many of them were buried with the fall of the Ming Dynasty, and China returned to obscurity under the rule of the Qing Dynasty.

"Now that Sun Yuanhua is leading his troops to fight against Kong Youde, it is not easy to get a governor away from the battlefield." Guo Xiyuan began to think about how to carry out this operation.

"The best time for us to pick up Sun Yuanhua is that Sun Yuanhua was defeated and captured in Dengzhou and released by Kong Youde at this time, if it is too late, he is arrested by Jinyi Wei Zhenfu Si and put in prison, this matter will be difficult to do. Most of the soldiers guarding Dengzhou are Liaodong soldiers collected by Sun Yuanhua, and they will not resist desperately if they come to Liaodong with Kong Youde's rebels, and the local soldiers in Shandong will not be able to defend Dengzhou City because Sun Yuanhua has a lot of favoritism towards Liaodong soldiers in peacetime, and the local soldiers in Shandong will not work hard for Sun Yuanhua, and Dengzhou City will inevitably not be able to hold it. In order to make himself look less like a god stick and be able to foresee what did not happen, Zhang Chu tried his best to explain the reason for Sun Yuanhua's failure. At the same time, Zhang Chu was also worried that it was dozens of Portuguese artillery instructors invited by Sun Yuanhua from Macao who had helped Sun Yuanhua defend Dengzhou City and fought most resolutely in the original history, but before this, Zhang Chu inserted a pole and deceived the Portuguese artillery instructors who were going to Dengzhou to Zhongyang.

"This is the most difficult thing to do. We must not only rush to Dengzhou as soon as possible, but also make arrangements for how we should act in case it is too late, Sun Yuanhua has been arrested by Jinyiwei. Zhu Jishi added next to him.

"Speaking of Jinyiwei, there is just someone who can take advantage of it, and Guo Zhiyi, who has been here before, is here again. However, he was promoted this time, and he was already Guo Qianhu. It would be more convenient for us to use him in Beijing. "Guo Xiyuan provided a good idea.

"Okay, I'll hurry up and get ready and go to Beijing." Zhang Chu finally made a decision, but after he finished speaking, he didn't hear Guo Xiyuan and Zhu Jishi's response, only to see the two of them looking at Zhang Chu with wide eyes but not speaking.

"Is there something wrong?" Zhang Chu asked strangely.

"Someone said they wouldn't venture anymore!" Guo Xiyuan said solemnly.

"That's it." Zhang Chu scratched his head embarrassedly, thought for a while and said: "I really have to go to this matter, if you want to use Guo Zhiyi, you have to find someone who is familiar with him, and there are many things that need to be decided on the spot when I go to Beijing, so it is more appropriate for me to go." There is also a more important point, Sun Yuanhua must be the governor of Denglai Erzhou, and it is not so easy to say that he will come to Zhongyang. It is best to let him come voluntarily, only if I go can be convincing, and only I know the temper of these scholars best, I have a way to persuade him to come to Zhongyang obediently. ā€

"Then send more people, and be sure to pay attention to safety." Zhu Jishi knew Zhang Chu's temper, and it was difficult to change what he decided, and Zhang Chu had done this kind of life and death many times, but he didn't go because of danger, and he didn't have any convincing power for Zhang Chu.

"Okay, I'll go and arrange, we can divide the troops into two ways, one way to Shandong to fight for Sun Yuanhua to stop him before he was arrested by Jinyiwei, and the other way to Beijing with Guo Zhiyi, and after arriving in Beijing, the two groups of people will act according to the situation." Guo Xiyuan made specific suggestions for action.

"Okay, that's it, Xiyuan draws up a detailed plan, selects and transfers capable personnel, we have to leave as soon as possible, the big stall of the security army will have Mr. Lao Zhu again, I will go to meet this Guo Zhi 1,000 households first." Zhang Chu made the final arrangements. Guo Xiyuan and Zhu Jishi went down to prepare, while Zhang Chu himself changed into civilian clothes, ordered the guards to protect himself in secret, and set off to find Guo Zhiyi at Guo Zhiyi's foothold.

Guo Zhi came to Zhongyang for the second time after a short time, this time it was very different from the last time, the last time the task was completed very well, the commander of Jinyiwei made the adult Luo Yanghe and Cao Huachun's father-in-law of the East Factory very satisfied, and directly promoted him to do a thousand households, and he was directly promoted to a thousand households after working hard for more than ten years, so that many colleagues were envious and jealous, Guo Zhiyi himself also felt refreshed, it turned out that his ability was so strong, he was not promoted before, but there was no chance.

According to the information provided by Jin Yiwei, the emperor commanded Hong Chengchou to win a big victory, and ordered Cao Huachun to strengthen Jin Yiwei's work in Shanxi. Luo Yangxing was overjoyed in his heart, and praised Guo Zhiyi fiercely.

Guo Zhiyi's visit to Zhongyang this time was not impulsive, because he knew that this time there was no danger before, Jin Yiwei and Zhu Jishi had established a contact point in Zhongyang, and with Zhu Jishi covered, there would be no danger in Zhongyang.

Soon after Guo Zhiyi arrived in Zhongyang, he received a message from Zhang Chu, saying that he wanted to see him, Guo Zhiyi was very happy, Zhang Chu wanted to see him, maybe he had important information to give him, and he could make meritorious service by running errands between Zhongyang and Beijing, and everyone liked such a good thing. Guo Zhiyi happily made an appointment with Zhang Chu to meet at a time and place.

When the time to meet came, Zhang Chu really appeared, and before Guo Zhi could ask about the intelligence, Zhang Chu came up and said, "I'm going to Beijing." (To be continued.) )
