The people of Suzhou City, who have been quiet for many years, opened their doors and walked out on the street in the early morning after a slightly restless night. I saw a lot of notices posted on the streets, guarded by officers and soldiers. When I squeezed in front of the notice to take a look, I learned that the imperial court had sent troops to arrest the prefect of Suzhou and the Cao Yun envoy last night. The reason is that they embezzled the taxes of the imperial court, and the evidence is conclusive.

Regardless of the people of that dynasty, there is no doubt that they hate corrupt officials and corrupt officials. Now when they see the notice stamped with the official seal, the people also know that this kind of thing does not involve them. Eating, sleeping, and doing small business are the most important things they should do. As for Suzhou City today, people are forbidden to go out, and although the people complain, they dare not say anything.

After almost all the officials and businessmen involved in the corruption case in Suzhou City came to the end, Zhao Xiaoxi immediately wrote a letter and handed it to his cronies, and sent it to the capital at an expedited speed of 800 miles. It was directly handed over to the imperial brother to prevent the court officials involved in the Jiangnan corruption case from being known, and to give them the opportunity to destroy the evidence of bribery and cover-up.

Compared with these corrupt officials and salt merchants who were imprisoned, they began to worry about what would happen to them, those officials who were not involved. was temporarily appointed and promoted by Zhao Xiaoxi to ensure that the officialdom of Suzhou City was not chaotic, and with Gao Jiwu stationed in the city to help stabilize order, Suzhou City after dawn was also calm as usual.

It is clear that there is one night, and the cavalry troops of the forbidden army led by Cao Zhen should not be far from the two Zhejiang mansions at this moment. Zhao Xiaoxi immediately led the rest of the forbidden army, took the Shuisi Wharf, which was also received by the Pingjiang Army, and took those warships of different sizes to Hangcheng, where the Zhizhou Yamen of Liangzhejiang Road was located. This method of water transportation is much faster than that by land.

Because of the urgency of time, when Zhao Xiaoxi left Suzhou, he didn't have time to visit Mu Wanqing and Zhong Ling. Instead, he asked the guards around him to carry a letter to them. Let them stay in Suzhou with peace of mind, if there is something to find him. At any time, the members of the military department who protect them can be sent to him as soon as possible through the messaging network of the cloth pavilion.

Compared to Zhong Ling, who was very curious about the city-wide curfew imposed last night, so that she didn't have a chance to go shopping at night, Mu Wanqing knew that last night's big movement was caused by her lover. Even the imperial forbidden army appeared, which is enough to prove that this time the matter is very tricky. It's understandable that they don't have time to take care of them. For this reason, the two women didn't feel that there was anything wrong with this matter.

Unlike Mu Wanqing's two daughters, Kim Yuna, who received the news in advance, received the news in advance. Some of the businessmen involved in the smuggling case were hidden and transferred in advance, resulting in her subordinates not having too many losses. On the contrary, those who planned to go it alone were not only arrested and put on trial in the yamen at this moment, but even their property was confiscated.

After getting the notice posted by Anmin in the early morning, Jin Yan'er knew that the man who overbearing her and robbed her of her chastity turned out to be the most powerful king of Bashu County in the Great Song Dynasty today. She really understands that compared to those scholars and officials who usually admire her, this is the real hope for her to help and restore the country!

Looking at the majestic forbidden army on land, most of them were frightened after getting on the boat, Zhao Xiaoxi looked at Huyan Leopard beside him and said, "General Huyan, you are stationed in Yingtianfu, haven't you conducted any water training?" ”

Hu Yanbao quickly said: "Back to the prince, no, the daily training of the forbidden army in Yingtianfu is similar to the training of the forbidden army in Beijing. Speaking of which, even the last general is on a boat for the first time! ”

Hearing this answer, Zhao Xiaoxi said meaningfully: "General Huyan, after this matter is over, if the general has leisure, it is better to strengthen the training of officers and soldiers on the water." Not to mention that you are as familiar with water warfare as the water army. At the very least, make sure that you get on board and don't fear the surface of the water.

Ben Wang thinks that if everyone knows the same things, many times the qualifications to be selected will be less. If it is something that the general brings to the soldiers, other forbidden armies will not. It is necessary to use the forbidden army to carry out infiltration and raids by boat, what choice does the general think the saint will make at that time? You know, if there is a big ship from here, you can go all the way to Daliao Kaizhou and Suzhou, any place. Isn't it? ”

Huyan Leopard, who understood that this little prince would not be okay to say this, his eyes lit up when he heard this: "Thank you for your advice, after the general goes back, he will definitely train his subordinates to be familiar with water." ”

Seeing that this general of the forbidden army was also a smart man, Zhao Xiaoxi didn't say much, commanded these warships loaded with forbidden army infantry, and accelerated towards Hangzhou. What they have to do is to take control of the core capital of Liangzhejiang Road before the officials of Hangzhou can react. After that, he went down from top to bottom, and wiped out all the officers and soldiers involved in corruption and profiteers on the Liangzhejiang Road.

The forbidden army that sailed also arrived at the Hangcheng dock that night, and the members of the military department who received Zhao Xiaoxi's secret order in advance. The dock used by the navy has been controlled, so that the forbidden army can dock smoothly. After tidying up, he quickly followed Huyan Leopard to Hangzhou.

Not far from Hangzhou, Zhao Xiaoxi also saw the forbidden army cavalry brigade that set off in the starry night last night, after meeting with the other party. Looking at the city defense guarded by the defenders of Ruoda Hangcheng, a city gate was taken by these members of the military department under his command, Zhao Xiaoxi was also deeply worried about the ability of the city defense army in the south. Relying on such officers and soldiers to defend the city, they don't know how to die if their heads are cut off.

Waving his hand to signal the troops to enter the city, the first place to go was the barracks stationed in the garrison of Hangzhou. The defenders at the gate, who were also captured by the skilled members of the dark department, were successfully opened to the camp gate of the big camp. Zhao Xiaoxi, who was riding on a war horse, waved his hand to signal the cavalry to enter and completely control the camp of the Xiang army.

The city defense army, who had not yet fallen asleep, heard the sound of horses trampling from the camp, and seemed to feel stunned. When they saw that these cavalrymen on horses were also wearing the same military uniforms and armor of the Great Song Dynasty. I was also very curious about where these troops, who looked much more elite than them, came from, and what was the purpose of coming in late at night?

When the cavalry was the same as last time, these city defense officers and soldiers were strictly ordered to return to the camp and not to go out, and Cao Zhen, as a cavalry general, quickly reported his position. and ordered the commander of the city defense army to come and see it at once.

Compared with the scene I saw in the Pingjiang military camp last time, as the city defense army guarding Hangzhou, its military appearance and discipline looked good. However, from the evidence available, it seems that the commander of this military camp is also involved in corruption cases. This also means that to a large extent, the officialdom and the army in Jiangnan have become the legal umbrella of those salt merchants and families.

Looking at this commander of the city defense army, who also seemed very surprised, after Zhao Xiaoxi appeared, he directly showed the holy decree and Shang Fang's sword. And without waiting for the commander to make any arguments, he immediately let him announce that the army had assembled in the school grounds. In front of the entire city defense army, the evidence of smuggling under the umbrella of the commander was read out, and the forbidden army was directly ordered to seize him.

Looking at the cavalry strangling around the horses, the swords and guns in their hands are not toys, and they are the city defenders. Many of them were rushed to the school yard to assemble before they even put on their uniforms. If you want to resist, it is undoubtedly a fool's dream.

What's more, the one who led the forbidden army in front of him was a minister who was holding a sword from Shang Fang. Unless they dare to bear the crime of rebellion, no one dares to be ready to wrestle with this prince in such an unfavorable situation.

After cleaning up the military attachés involved in the corruption case in the city defense army, Zhao Xiaoxi looked at the few remaining military attachés, first as a chincha. He affirmed that they were able to stick to the bottom line and did not go along with the dismissed military attachés. At the same time, they were also promoted by one level to fill the position of dismissed military attaché.

Just when everyone thought that who would be responsible for this vacant leader, an old man with half gray hair appeared in the school field. Seeing this old man appear, the remaining military attachés all frowned and said, "Commander Wu!" ”

This veteran general, who was suppressed by the two Zhejiang Zhizhou and finally returned to the field ahead of schedule, is also a loyal and patriotic talent that Zhao Xiaoxi saw in the investigation of this corruption case.

Even if the other party is over fifty years old, his prestige in the defense army of the two Zhejiang cities is still unmatched. Zhao Xiaoxi, who ordered his subordinates to carry documents and personally invited them over, also met Wu Taibo, an old general with a military backbone, for the first time.

'Old general, please forgive this king for being rude, and Qing Xiu, who still disturbed you, invited you to come over and preside over the overall situation of the city defense army. ’

For this kind of old general, Zhao Xiaoxi still respects himself. Even if this is just the commander of the Xiang army, he has almost handed over his life to the Great Song Dynasty, and he is worthy of the descendants of the Zhao family like Zhao Xiaoxi, who respect him as an old general. Otherwise, if you are an old general who is even if there is a lord, Zhao Xiaoxi is also not a bird.

Since receiving the letter stamped with the king's seal, Wu Taibo also sincerely admires this prince who dares to break the nest of corrupt officials in Liangzhe. Seeing that the other party was so young and so polite to him, Wu Taibo was naturally grateful.

'It is the luck of the last general to be able to win the king's weight. As long as the court and the prince do not feel that the last general is old and useless, the last general is willing to serve the court for the dogs and horses. ’

After listening to Wu Taibo's words, Zhao Xiaoxi personally invited the veteran general to the inspection platform and announced the restoration of Wu Taibo's position as commander. Under the command of the city defense army for the time being, when this matter is dealt with, there will be a holy decree to reward the meritorious ministers. In addition, Zhao Xiaoxi did not forget it, and introduced him to Huyan Leopard and Cao Zhen, the two generals of the forbidden army.

Let Wu Taibo be responsible for rectifying the city defense armament and ensuring that the city defense army does not cause chaos, Zhao Xiaoxi took the forbidden army and began to go to Zhizhou Yamen. Go and meet that Liu Guangqian, the governor of Liangzhejiang who wants wind and rain on Liangzhejiang Road. This is a military and political official who has attracted nearly half of the Jiangnan region, especially the feudal officials like the emperor of the Jiangnan soil!
