Chapter 912: Frustrated Man

Tang Haitai never thought that he would not have time to leave Liaodong, after the defeat of Liaodong, Chen Xinjia and Qian Qianyi were directly escorted to the capital, and the two were imprisoned at the same time, although they did not suffer much, and they did not interrogate much, but their career must be over, and they can't rely on it, at this time, Tang Haitai still doesn't care, his uncle is still the second assistant of the cabinet, and there is no big problem in thinking about returning to the capital. It's a pity that Tang Haitai doesn't know, because of the defeat of Chen Xinjia and Qian Qianyi, but also because of Tang Shiji's continuous praise, so that Zhu Youzhen made some decisions that should not be made, in the matter of Liaodong, Tang Shiji basically has no right to suggest, in such a sensitive period, Tang Shiji will not mention Tang Haitai's matter for the time being, so as not to be caught, this delay, Tang Haitai's return to the capital, will become a bubble.

After Tang Shiji was forced to give office, Tang Haitai was like five thunderbolts, and he knew that he was thinking about returning to the capital, and it became a bubble, and the newly appointed governor of Liaodong, Lu Xiangsheng, was not interested in him at all, he, the governor of the yamen, really became a person who was uploaded and issued, and the important notice had nothing to do with him, after a period of time, Tang Haitai clearly felt that he was already a dispensable figure in the governor's yamen.

Tang Haitai was originally stubborn, he didn't have any ability, he used to be covered by Tang Shiji, and he still had a very high status in Liaodong, but unfortunately most of the garrisons in Liaodong have been adjusted, and now they are mainly based on the Yulin battalion, and the officers of the Yulin battalion don't care about him, the governor of the yamen, everyone is Lu Xiangsheng's henchman, where will they pay attention to him, the frustrated governor.

In fact, Lu Xiangsheng despised Tang Haitai, and he also did an investigation, the fiasco in Liaodong, this inconspicuous Tang Haitai. has a lot of responsibility, although the official position is not big, the frame is not small, and he is greedy for life and afraid of death, especially when the army is surrounded, he does not want to resist. What he thinks of is to run for his life, of course Lu Xiangsheng can't get used to such an official, although Tang Haitai's uncle Tang Shiji is still in the cabinet, Lu Xiangsheng is not interested in Tang Haitai, and later Tang Shiji became a master, and Lu Xiangsheng will not pay attention to this incapable Tang Haitai.

Encountering such treatment, Tang Haitai was very depressed. But he couldn't think of a solution to his current situation.

In the past, Tang Haitai was not short of silver, because he relied on Tang Shiji, he always used people to send silver, Tang Haitai has always been generous, and he didn't look at it at all, although Ningyuan City was not big. But it is also very prosperous, with restaurants, green buildings and tea houses. There is everything, Tang Haitai is a frequent visitor to these places, and when he spends money, he never feels distressed.

Now the situation has suddenly changed, and no one will continue to send money to Tang Haitai, almost overnight. Tang Haitai felt constrained. It is said that at this time, Tang Haitai can see the situation clearly, clamp his tail and be a man, and he can be safe, after all, the Ming Dynasty will assess officials once every three years. Tang Haitai still has a chance to return to the capital, Tang Shiji still has some connections in the capital after all, and besides, what is Su Tiancheng's identity, he won't notice him at all, but it's a pity that Tang Haitai, who has become accustomed to squandering, can't help it at all.

Ningyuan City is not big, but it is mixed, very complicated, this is definitely the key place for the operation of Houjin, Fan Wencheng will devote most of his energy to this small Ningyuan City, there are a lot of spies in Houjin, all of them are mixed in the businessmen, the officials of the Governor's Mansion and the Governor's Yamen are all concerned by people with ulterior motives, and Tang Haitai was also focused on at the beginning.

The changes in Liaodong have long attracted the attention of Fan Wencheng, Fan Wencheng knows that the Ming Dynasty is like this, with the appointment and dismissal of a group of officials, there must be proud officials and frustrated officials, at this time, it is the best opportunity to find nails among officials, and those frustrated officials are the focus of work.

Tang Haitai was not particularly concerned, but with Tang Shiji's Zhishi, Tang Haitai quickly rose to the target of key attraction. The intelligence network of the capital and Liaodong has long found out Tang Haitai's details clearly.

Tang Haitai, who felt frustrated, would not have thought that he had become the target of Fan Wencheng's attention, and it was precisely because of the focus that Tang Haitai's fate had changed dramatically.

The frustrated Tang Haitai didn't have much money to squander in the Qinglou, as an official of his rank, it was unrealistic to think that his family members would come to Ningyuan, and he couldn't support himself, so the restaurant became a place where Tang Haitai often missed it, and many times, Tang Haitai, who was drunk, was sent back by the guys in the restaurant.

Because of Tang Haitai's performance, the officials of the governor's yamen also looked down on him more and more as a governor.

The biggest blow to Tang Haitai was that Lu Xiangsheng re-recommended a governor, and he also took office, the governor yamen has two governors, this should be a joke, everyone knows Lu Dao, the position of governor, there is only one, but there is such a strange thing, the new appointment is only Lu Xiangsheng's cronies, from then on, the matters uploaded and issued by the governor's yamen, including all key notices, are the new governor is responsible.

Tang Haitai has completely become a dispensable person, and he doesn't even need to go to the point.

The blow to Tang Haitai from this arrangement is huge and unbearable.

It is precisely because of this arrangement that a series of things have happened.

In fact, Lu Xiangsheng also wanted to transfer Tang Haitai away, out of sight and out of mind, but unfortunately he had too many things, and in the capital, there were too many changes, Tang Shiji and Liu Zongzhou Zhishi, Zhu Xianxuan became the second assistant of the cabinet, Su Tiancheng entered the cabinet, this change made Lu Xiangsheng feel that the decisive battle between the imperial court and the Houjin Tartars was probably about to start, and when the time came, Liaodong was a very important place, Su Tiancheng and the Jiangning battalion launched an attack in Fuzhou and Xuanzhou, and the Yulin battalion stationed in Liaodong could also play a role. At least it can contain the Houjin Tartars in Liaodong and relieve the pressure on the Jiangning camp.

The imperial court's mansion newspaper had already arrived in Liaodong, and Lu Xiangsheng knew that Su Tiancheng was directly responsible for Liaodong's affairs.

After Chen Xinjia came to Liaodong, he rejected Su Tiancheng and Jiangning Battalion, suffered a fiasco, and almost lost Liaodong, if it weren't for Su Tiancheng and Jiangning Battalion launching a large-scale attack on Lushun from Dengzhou, occupying Xuanzhou and Fuzhou, so that there was a major crisis in the rear of Houjin, Huang Taiji had to withdraw his troops to arrange the defense of the rear, and Liaodong might really be lost.

Lu Xiangsheng once followed Su Tiancheng to exterminate the Tartars, Chongzhen's nine years of exterminating the Tartars, Lu Xiangsheng will never forget, the courage of the Jiangning camp, Su Tiancheng's wisdom, and the fiasco of the Houjin Tartars have been engraved in Lu Xiangsheng's heart, he knows very well that as long as he follows Su Tiancheng, there will definitely be a big fight, and when the time comes, he will be able to personally experience and command the battle to exterminate the Houjin Tartars, which is the dream opportunity of any general who commands the army.

Lu Xiangsheng's important energy has been invested in the training of the Yulin battalion, the training method of the Yulin battalion is the same as that of the Jiangning battalion, in fact, some of the training modes of the Yulin battalion were taught by the officers sent by the Jiangning battalion at the beginning, this training method does have a great effect, can maximize the combat effectiveness, the only deficiency is that the consumption is relatively large, fortunately, the imperial court has not reduced the military salary of Liaodong, Lu Xiangsheng can still maintain.

Because of such a situation, Lu Xiangsheng didn't notice Tang Haitai.

After all, Tang Haitai is Tang Shiji's nephew, Lu Xiangsheng will not deliberately find fault, as long as Tang Haitai is safe, he will not care so much, Tang Shiji's face still has to be taken into account, so Tang Haitai is drunk, Lu Xiangsheng has no blame, anyway, Tang Haitai has nothing to do, and he will not make a mistake when he is drunk.

Lu Xiangsheng would not have thought that because of his negligence, Tang Haitai would undergo huge changes.

Tang Haitai has completely become a frustrated person, no one cares, no one cares, and he has become a dispensable person in the governor's yamen, when he was reused by Chen Xinjia in the past, where did Tang Haitai put the officials of the governor's yamen in his eyes, and he walked with his head up, but now he is frustrated, others will not pay attention, it doesn't matter, and some people are even waiting to see jokes.

These things of the governor's yamen could not be kept secret, and they were regarded as lace news and spread out.

The speaker had no intention of listening to the heart, and these situations were obtained by the Houjin spy lurking in Ningyuan City.

The information quickly reached Fan Wencheng's hands, this information, aroused Fan Wencheng's great attention, he thought that the opportunity had come, after so many years, Houjin's intelligence network has always been unable to penetrate into the officials of the Ming Dynasty, this time I am afraid there will be a breakthrough. Fan Wencheng did not hesitate, and immediately made arrangements, asking the intelligence officers who were ambushed in Ningyuan City to pull Tang Haitai in no matter what means they used, no matter how much price they paid.

Fan Wencheng, who is familiar with Tang Haitai's experience, knows that he will definitely succeed this time, if he wins over Tang Haitai, he will be able to obtain a lot of information without effort, Tang Haitai is now down, but he can't get guidance, and he doesn't have any money.

Houjin's intelligence network in Ningyuan City was quickly launched, and one plan after another was sent to Shenyang, and after more than ten days of deliberation, a set of the most mature plans was determined.

Ningyuan City is still so lively, Su Tiancheng won a big victory in Xuanzhou, which greatly encouraged the morale of the Yulin camp and the border army in Liaodong, and the haze of defeat quickly disappeared, because of this big victory, Ningyuan, Shanhaiguan, Jinzhou and Dalinghe City and other cities have also changed, and the comings and goings of merchants have become more frequent.
