After some secret talks, Cao Yue was about to say goodbye, and when he left, he thought of another thing.

"Old Qian, there is one more thing I want you to help with," Cao Yue said solemnly: "Wu Sangui is now fighting the banner of restoring the Ming Dynasty and avenging the first emperor, and Jiannu is nominally just a foreign soldier borrowed by him, and the Ming soldiers and civilians who do not know the truth are likely to be deceived by it and eventually used by Jiannu." If these things spread to Jiangnan and were known to the military and civilians in the Jiangnan area, then there would be only a few people who supported Wu Sangui and welcomed Jiannu into the customs, and maybe there would be people who proposed to crusade against the Liukou together with Jiannu. ”

"Huh?!"

Cao Yue ignored Qian Qianyi's exclamation and continued: "But I can tell you very clearly that the threat of Jiannu is greater than that of Liukou, and they want to completely destroy my Huaxia and exterminate my Han people. Liukou forced the first emperor to death, we are the enemy of the sky, and the same is true of Jiannu, if there was no threat from Jiannu, Liukou would have been destroyed a long time ago. They hit the city of Beijing several times, and they only had a chance to break through Beijing. If it is not my race, its heart will be different, we must keep this in mind, so some things must be done immediately! If you succeed, I will take credit for you in front of Your Majesty. ”

"How?" Qian Qianyi, who had already made up his mind to join Cao Yue, couldn't help but ask.

"Using Donglin's strong influence in Jiangnan to spread the news, it was said that Wu Sangui had secretly surrendered to slavery, and was named the king of Pingxi by Dolgon, and became a lackey of Jiannu. Jiannu entered the customs this time to seek the world, not only for my Ming Dynasty to exterminate the Liukou, I will let the people of the Fushe also take such a walk, we must let the people of the world know the nature of Jiannu, and we must not have the kindness of a woman to them!"

Cao Yue said, with a look of horror in his eyes. This look startled Qian Qianyi, who had been observing words and expressions.

Qian Qianyi, who had never killed anyone, would never have imagined that Cao Yue would have such a horrified look, it was full of murderous intent!

In the end, Cao Yue left in Qian Qianyi's sincere panic and went to Lu Daqi's mansion.

It was not unexpected by Cao Yue. Lu Daqi also couldn't resist Cao Yue's intimidation and temptation, and agreed to act as Cao Yue's pawn.

Subsequently, Cao Yue went to Gao Zhuo, Huang Daozhou, Qu Shiyun, and Wang Duo's mansions, and visited these new high-ranking officials of the imperial court, and the means used were still the same, these officials were not innocent or very innocent people, and many people were still doing some unsightly things, and the handle fell into Cao Yue's hands.

An official of the Ming Dynasty. Almost none of them are innocent, they are greedy for power, money, and integrity, and there is no one who has no shortcomings and no handles. Cao Yue, who was familiar with the history of the late Ming Dynasty, knew this very well, and he also used the Jinyi Wei power he had at his disposal to collect the stains of these officials and use them to blackmail them.

This time Zhu Cijiong took the throne, and Cao Yue was also ready to let Chang Yanling be in charge of the entire Jinyi system, and let his brother Cao Chao be Chang Yanling's deputy. intends to completely control the entire Jinyi Guard system. Everything must be maintained until the chaos subsides, and then we will talk about it after the world is stable, and extraordinary means must be used in troubled times.

The carrot and stick policy is very effective. Cao Yue reaped even better results than he thought.

The next day, the atmosphere in the court immediately changed, and except for Shi Kefa, no one stood up against Cao Yue as the governor. Take control of the world's armies.

Shi Kefa was not very vehemently opposed, seeing that everyone else had no opinion, and in the end he did not insist. Cao Yue's appointment was also quickly approved.

However, all the ministers know that Cao Yue is in charge of the world's soldiers and horses, and he has a life-saving grace for Empress Zhou and the current emperor, so his power in the court is no longer compared. If Sun Chuanting is also controlled by him, then Cao Yue will have the final say in the world.

It's just that although everyone understands it in their hearts, no one expresses this meaning. Cao Yue mastered their lives through the Jinyi Guard, if they dared to jump out again, it would be purely looking for death, and what they got now would be lost immediately.

But they are all extraordinary masters, and they will definitely not accept their fate like this, but they can't deal with Cao Yue for the time being.

Cao Yue also knew this, he knew that these people were not willing to obey him, but they were subject to him, and as soon as they had the opportunity, they would find a way to escape from his control, and maybe one day everyone would unite against him. What he can do is to cultivate his own forces loyal to him, and finally let his cronies replace these officials who like to intrigue the most, so that the Ming Dynasty will be completely reborn.

Subsequently, the imperial court also appointed some leading generals.

Because I know many things at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and know that after the establishment of the small court of the Southern Ming Dynasty, several major warlords Zuo Liangyu, Liu Zeqing, Gao Jie, Liu Liangzuo, and Huang Degong who held heavy troops disobeyed the small court of the Southern Ming Dynasty, and were unwilling to obey the dispatch of the troops and self-respect. If we want to regain momentum, we must eliminate some hidden dangers.

Cao Yue knew that with his current men, he could already compete with the Liukou and Jiannu, even if the offensive ability was insufficient, there was no way to completely eliminate the Liukou and Jiannu, and it should not be a problem to keep half of the country. He also knows what kind of army these generals have, and he doesn't want to completely annex these people, he just wants these warlords to disappear and save chaos.

Liu Zeqing, Liu Liangzuo, Gao Jie, and Huang Degong supported hundreds of thousands of troops, plus Zuo Liangyu, who was entrenched in Wuchang and claimed to have 800,000 troops, together they were a force that should not be underestimated. Even if they are a rabble, if there is chaos, the shock to the world will be great, and countless people will suffer. Cao Yue wanted to take precautions and eliminate hidden dangers in the bud.

Under the instruction of Cao Yue, the imperial court issued an edict, appointing Zuo Liangyu as the governor of Ning Nanbo and the left capital of the Chinese army, Gao Jie was knighted Xingping Bo and served as the governor of the left capital of the left army, Liu Liangze was the governor of Guangchang and the left capital of the right army, Liu Zeqing was the governor of Dongping Bo and the left capital of the former army, and Huang Degong was appointed as the left governor of the rear army as Jingnanbo. The appointment of these generals as governors of the five armies was to ask them to come to Nanjing to take up their posts.

Subsequently, the military department issued a military order, and commissioned Zuo Liangyu's troops to make Jin Shengyuan, Lu Guangzu, Li Guoyong, Xu Yong, and Hao Xiaozhong the general soldiers, Gao Jie's troops Li Benshen, Gao Jinku, Li Chengdong, Wu Shengzhao, and Wu Maozhen as the general soldiers, Liu Liangzuo's generals Ma Degong and Tian Xiong as the general soldiers, and Liu Zeqing's troops Liu Konghe, Liu Hongji, and Li Huajing as the general soldiers. Huang Degong's generals Weng Zhiqi and Tian Xiong were the general soldiers.

At the same time as these appointments were issued, Cao Yue also prepared the Nanjing New Army for a rebellion. He was already a little impatient to sort out the mess and get things organized. (To be continued.) )
