Meng Fu and Xiao Anu, who had already expressed their loyalty, had guessed Zhang Ru's intentions countless times in their hearts, and they followed Zhang Ru before they were determined to become their own people, so they didn't dare to ask at all.

So many people died, although it was not the responsibility of the commander-in-chief of the three armies, as a figure who could be as famous as the political envoy of Shanxi Chengxuan's political envoy department, he always had a little responsibility on his shoulder.

But Zhang Ru is not in a hurry, he is like a nobody, every day in addition to training soldiers, he is muttering with Liu Qi, the general of the Shenji Battalion.

It wasn't until the holy decree of the capital arrived that Zhang Ru called everyone into the tent.

Liu Qi, Meng Fu, Xiao Anu, Ma Xuan, everyone was present.

"I called you here today because I want all of you to cooperate. There is a decree in the saint that the border of Datong will not be quiet for a day, and Zhang Wenxuan will not be allowed to return to Beijing for a day. It will take some time before the Tartars trapped in Crowhorn Mountain run out of ammunition, and now is not the time to do it, and now is the time to do it, and there will be something for you to do. Zhang Ru pressed his hands on the table with the map.

Everyone gave up their hands: "Please command." ”

Zhang Ru said seriously: "It's not a big deal, it's that Your Majesty also gave a private message after the Holy Rank, and I won't read the content of this letter to you, but Your Majesty mentioned one point, that is, the White Lotus Sect must be eliminated within a year."

You are all very familiar with Datong, and you should also know the White Lotus Sect very well, so I called you here to discuss how to deal with this White Lotus Sect. ”

Du Shanbai and Li Xiaozhi were separated from Zhang Ru, and the others stood on both sides of the table.

"Boss, the White Lotus Sect has been a disaster for many years, and its members are even more scattered, so it will not be easy to eradicate the White Lotus Sect from the territory of Datong at one time." Ma Xuan was the first to raise the problem.

He was in a high position in the Datong border army, and there were once White Lotus sect followers infiltrated into the border army, so he was not so optimistic about eradicating the White Lotus Sect's bandits.

Meng Fu also said: "My lord, the White Lotus Sect's dossier in Beizhen Fusi is full of two cabinets, but it is still endless, firstly, they have too many demagogic methods, and they are so varied that ordinary people can't figure it out at all. The second is that the life of the people of the Ming Dynasty has not gone up, although there have been improvements over the years, but once there is a natural disaster, there will definitely be displaced people. Once there are displaced people, the White Lotus Sect can be revived.

Therefore, the subordinates thought that it was not impossible to get rid of the White Lotus Sect, but one year was too short. ”

Xiao Anu made a different remark at this time: "My lord, Xiao Anu is confident that he will eradicate the bandits of the Datong White Lotus Sect within a year under the leadership of adults. ”

Liu Qi asked in disbelief: "Is there any special method for Mr. Xiao?" ”

Zhang Ru also followed everyone's gaze and looked at Xiao Anu.

You know, to eradicate the Datong White Lotus Sect, it was difficult for him to think of a proper way, if this Xiao Anu really had a way, he wouldn't mind mentioning her up.

Xiao Anu said: "The reason why the White Lotus Sect has been surrounded and suppressed by the imperial court countless times, but the reason for the countless resurgences is that they have enough money to support all their activities.

The members of the White Lotus Sect are very mixed, including wealthy businessmen, eunuchs, and even more poor people.

And the poor people are just the limbs of the White Lotus Sect, and those scholars and eunuchs are the brains of the White Lotus Sect. To eradicate the White Lotus Sect, you must first remove the brain.

Now the North Town Fu Division has preliminarily grasped the approximate location of the White Lotus Sect's General Altar, and the South Town Fu Division has also controlled some confidential information. As long as the north and south town Fu Division work together, plus the hundreds of thousands of border troops in Datong, they will definitely be able to wipe out the White Lotus Sect. ”

Zhang Ru retorted without hesitation: "The cooperation of the North and South Zhenfu Divisions is not a problem, but the Datong border army must not move. There are only more than 2,000 people who can be used by Ben Jiang now, and all the others have their own positions.

In my heart, the Tatars have always been the first enemy.

No matter what happens, as long as there is one of the Tatars who is hostile to our Daming, the border army of the Nine Border Towns will absolutely not move. ”

Xiao Anu was puzzled: "In this case, it may take some more time." ”

Meng Fu frowned and said: "I don't dare to agree with Xiao Zongqi's words, there are so many members of the White Lotus Sect, do you know whose family worships the childless old mother, and whose family does not worship it?" You said that you want to cut off your brain first, even if you destroy the White Lotus Sect General Altar, can you guarantee that there will be no fish that will slip through the net? The White Lotus Sect's main altar is gone, and the hall masters and incense masters below are even more able to be unscrupulous. ”

Ma Xuan also said: "Meng Zongqi is reasonable. ”

Xiao Anu retorted: "Many of the hall masters of the White Lotus Sect joined the White Lotus Sect for gold, silver and money, there is no benefit, let them take all their lives against the imperial court, they don't have the courage." With so much evidence in his hands, Beizhen Fusi could completely take down many of the backbones of the White Lotus Sect.

Isn't it just to make the weight of the Jinyi Guard heavier in front of His Majesty if you keep those backbones of the White Lotus Sect unmoving. ”

The latter sentence, Xiao Anu's eyes were full of disdain when he said it.

Zhang Ru blushed for no reason, as if he was talking about himself.

Without the secret instructions of Zhang Ru and Mu Bin, the people below would not dare to do such a thing, after all, if this kind of thing is spread, Jinyiwei, who had experienced the rebellion of Chengzu Jigang, would not want to improve his status in front of the emperor.

"Ahem, ahem." Zhang Ru coughed dryly and said: "This matter is not a problem, the key problem is how to catch all those incense masters." Anu, you also know that the imperial court needs money now. ”

Zhang Ru's seemingly casual words made everyone present understand.

The reason why this marquis suddenly became obsessed with His Majesty the Emperor's holy decree was probably for the silver in the hands of those White Lotus Sect disciples.

Ordinary White Lotus Sect members naturally couldn't have any money, but as long as they had a little way to live, they wouldn't pin all their hopes on a lifeless old mother who didn't exist at all.

And those who have a little power are different, these people are either country squires or landlords and old money, and there is never a shortage of goods in their hands. Joining the White Lotus Sect is just to give himself a better status in that realm, and to be able to make people listen to their words.

These people have money in their hands, so Zhang Ru wants to take down these people for only one purpose, that is, the silver in their pockets.

Meng Fu smiled: "What the emotional adults are interested in is the silver in their pockets. ”

Ma Xuan also smiled and said, "Boss, you want to say it early!" The Datong border army can level the White Lotus Sect with a few breaths. ”

Zhang Ru said suddenly: "Isn't it now that the imperial court is opening the sea and banning, building ships, recruiting sailors, training sailors, and using money everywhere." The construction of Tianjin and Fuzhou is also a big problem. Hubu Li Min, your old guy can't wait for me to die early, I say east, he will say west. I really had no choice but to take some money from them. ”

"I don't know that a person has a lot to do with the White Lotus Sect, and he definitely has a lot of silver in his hand, no less than 200,000 taels." Li Xiaozhi, who had not spoken, said suddenly.

Zhang Ru glared at him and said, "Why didn't you say this good thing earlier, with these two here, as long as there is one person, I can find a breakthrough and dig out three." ”

As he spoke, he pointed to Xiao Anu and Meng Fu.

Li Xiaozhi: "This person is Tang Yong, the prefect of Datong. ”

Zhang Ru's face became a little strange: "You shouldn't be thinking about communiqué personal vendetta!" Since he is a member of the White Lotus Sect, why didn't you say it earlier. ”

Li Xiaozhi looked apologetic: "Dong Weng didn't make it clear that he would attack the White Lotus Sect, but if he said Tang Yong, I was afraid that he would startle the snake." ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Du Shanbai.

Du Shanbai immediately understood: "My lord, what Brother Xiao said is good, this Tang Yong himself is not a member of the White Lotus Sect, but he has a son in his old age, and his child almost died in the early years, and it was the people of the White Lotus Sect who did not know what demon method was used to protect the child in his wife's womb. Therefore, his wife is an out-and-out member of the White Lotus Sect. Every year, Tang Yong would send a lot of money to a white lotus sect incense master in Datong City, and many of his servants were also from the White Lotus Sect. ”

"Do you know this?" Zhang Ruqi looked at Meng Fu.

Meng Fu said abruptly: "My lord, maybe Jiang Qianhu knows more about this matter. ”

Xiao Anu rolled his eyes: "Lord Hui, Anu is the general banner of the Fusi of Nanzhen, not the Jinyi guard of Datong Thousand Households." ”

Zhang Ru said lightly: "Okay, since the two of you said so, then the two of you will do it." Liu Qi, give Meng Fu thirty musketeers, before sunset tomorrow, I want to meet all the members of the White Lotus Sect related to Tang Yong, the prefect of Datong. ”

After speaking, he added: "Alive." ”

Several people looked at each other, but they still unswervingly carried out his orders.

At noon the next day, Tang Yong, the prefect of Datong, was taken to the residence of the Datong Thousand Households, along with his family, including more than 50 servants. There were even a few wounded servants in the team, plus more than a dozen bloody human heads on Meng Fu's horse, and they brought back no less than 100 people.

"Zhang Shuai has an order, the prefect Tang Yong will enter the account and see Jin, and the others will be escorted to the military prison first." Xiao Anu shouted the order with a blank face.

Then, Meng Fu dismounted and grabbed Tang Yong's collar and pulled him into Zhang Ru's handsome tent, and after smashing Tang Yong to the ground, he arched his hand towards Zhang Ru: "Subordinates retire." ”

Zhang Ru sat on the chair, pointed to the tea on the other table and said to Tang Yong, who was described as withered: "Come, sit down and drink tea." ”

Tang Yong stood up and tidied up his clothes, and after recoiling his hair bun, he sat down at the table solemnly.

"You said that you have already achieved the prefect of the fourth grade, why do you have to get involved in the White Lotus Sect, don't have a good chance to soar, but choose a dead end." Zhang Ru said it as lightly as chatting with a friend.
