046 Huai'an Barracks

Where did Ying Tianfu see such a formation, and hurriedly reported the arrival of the prince to Ma Shiying, Ma Shiying was furious, and without even seeing him, he ordered the 'prince' to be directly put in prison, calmed down public opinion in the market, and sent secret envoys to the military camps of Jiangbei Gao Jie and Liu Zeqing.

The news in Nanjing City was soon heard by Wang Lanping's eyeliner, the rumors are not terrible, this 'prince' has to die regardless of whether it is true or not, and Ma Shiying's son Ma Ming took over the defense of Nanjing, and the city defenders are stepping up preparations for war, this kind of indication shows that Ma Shiying is dealing with himself, and his own affairs in Xiangshan must make him restless, but there are not many soldiers in Nanjing City, most of them have been transferred to Xiangshan by themselves, Ma Shiying will not be so stupid, he will definitely transfer the four generals under him, who will be transferred? Among the soldiers of the four towns, only Liu Zeqing's Huai'an army was the closest to Nanjing.

Wang Lanping hurriedly found a soldier, dictated it, and asked him to go to the Huai'an military camp as soon as possible to find Zheng Sen, the deputy chief military officer of Huai'an.

It has been more than 20 days since Zheng Sen came to the military camp in Huai'an Town, and he didn't quite understand what Wang Lanping asked him to do? I couldn't do anything, because Liu Zeqing didn't want to see him at all, if it weren't for the fact that he was the son of Zheng Zhilong, the general soldier of Fujian, he might have been cut down with a knife.

Liu Zeqing has always suspected that Zheng Sen is Wang Lan's safe insertion into his army, but there is no evidence, so many positions in the world are not going, but he came to Huai'an, and now Wang Lanping is in the limelight, and he has surpassed his own original constitution, and Liu Zeqing is still holding a nest of fire in his heart, why did he use his subordinates to be a marquis, but he could only get an uncle, which made him very aggrieved and his temper became more and more irritable.

This Huai'an Mansion military camp, Liu Zeqing is like an emperor here, he beats the soldiers with his hands up, scolds when he opens his mouth, and drinks a few sips of wine, he doesn't take the ban in the army seriously at all, and he has to kill people when he gets drunk, and the soldiers in the army see that as long as he drinks, he stays away from him as if he is hiding from the plague, or simply grabs a few ordinary people from the outside and puts them in a place where he can reach out.

The local officials, including his subordinates, hated him to the core, but they had nothing to do about him, and they had to deliver fresh seasonal vegetables and meat to the barracks every few days, and fifty military sticks were the most punishable for the slightest neglect.

Liu Zeqing not only spent all his days in the barracks, was extremely poor and luxurious, but also coerced local officials by force to build a luxurious general military palace yamen for him, and at every turn he wantonly looted from the surrounding prefectures and counties in the name of insufficient military spending, which really reached the point where the officials were angry and the people resented the soldiers.

Zheng Sen is suffering here every day, he really can't stand everything here, it is completely a bandit camp dressed in the skin of the Ming army, but before he came, Wang Lanping personally told him that when he came to the Huai'an military camp, there were two things, pretending to be a grandson and scolding Wang Lanping, which was really embarrassing for Zheng Sen, and what made him unacceptable here was that he was like a prisoner, except for being able to walk around his military tent, Liu Zeqing's people followed him everywhere.

On this day, Liu Zeqing asked people to invite Zheng Sen to the big tent of the Chinese army, saying that he wanted to invite him to eat and drink, and the general soldiers invited him not to disobey, so he went out of his military tent and followed the people, but soon he found that the soldiers in the barracks came and went very frequently, and all kinds of ordnance were stacked in a pile in the army. Is it a thief or a thief?

With a nervous mood, Zheng Sen came to the Zhongjun tent, opened the door curtain, and as soon as he entered the tent, he saw Liu Zeqing holding two young girls in the tent and had already drunk it first, bare-chested, full of brute meat, and the girl serving on the side frequently brought the wine to his mouth with tears in her eyes, drank a glass, laughed, and rubbed three times with a pair of oily hands on the girl's chest, which made the girl's brows tightly twisted, but she didn't dare to shout.

"Yo, Deputy Chief Zheng is here, haha, sit down, this is rude, I'll drink it first before I wait for you" Liu Zeqing nodded at Zheng Sen, and seemed to be very happy today.

Zheng Sen lowered the curtain and walked over uneasily, since he arrived, this is the first time Liu Zeqing has invited himself to drink, what does it mean?

Zheng Sen saluted, "Thank you for the banquet, is there any joy for the general today?" ”

Liu Zeqing laughed and pointed to the seat next to him, "Sit down and say sit down and say, you, fill up the wine for General Zheng and serve it well, General Zheng, I will lead her to your tent in a while, ah, the military camp is so boring, you have to know how to have some fun for yourself, haha, eat and drink first, dry"

Zheng Sen faced the girl who came up, his face was red, and his movements looked very embarrassing, which caused Liu Zeqing to laugh for a while.

The two drank cup after cup, chatting about painless topics, Zheng Sen couldn't sit still, Liu Zeqing is too normal today, what does he want to do?

After three rounds of drinking, Zheng Sen suddenly let the two girls out, and said to Zheng Sen very cautiously, "Brother, I've been wronged these days, come, brother will toast you again."

"Don't dare, General Jing" Zheng Sen didn't know why, and raised his head.

Liu Zeqing simply sat down next to Zheng Sen, put his arm on his shoulder, and said with a mouth full of wine, "Don't take it to heart, brother, I'm not targeting you, just because you and that Wang Lanping are too close, I don't think he's happy, he's not happy anywhere, my brother is a rough man, he won't talk around the corner, don't mind"

Zheng Sen smiled, "Where, where, the general's straightforward order is admired, I have already said that I and that Wang Lanping are all the way, this person thinks of himself as high, he is stubborn and self-serving, Huaining fights, if I didn't take hundreds of brothers to fight to the death, how could he be today, but it's coming, he named the Hou Ye, but I am nothing, and I am so far away with a pole, and fool me with a nominal deputy chief soldier, this is obviously a distribution"

Liu Zeqing laughed and poured himself a drink, "What do you mean by listening to your words, it's not good to be idle, deputy chief soldier, do you still feel wronged?" ”

Zheng Sen hurriedly arched his hand and said, "No, no, that's not what I mean, I mean that Wang Lanping is afraid that I will rob him of his credit, so he will find a place for me to branch it out."

Liu Zeqing crooked his mouth, stretched out his hand and gestured a cross, "Be content, brother, I want to climb from a small soldier to today, but it has taken ten years, and you are not satisfied, hey"

Zheng Sen said again, "It's not that I'm not satisfied, I just feel wronged, it's also Huaining's bloody battle, he enjoys happiness in Nanjing, why let me be in the army with green cabbage and radish, and I'm not angry."

Liu Zeqing squinted slightly, "Brother, don't tell lies in front of real people, I don't believe anything of what you say, it's all big men, why don't you hurry up, did Wang Lanping send you to spy on me?" ”

Zheng Sen was shocked, it turned out that he had already known, and he was busy trying to explain, but he interrupted, Liu Zeqing pressed Zheng Sen's hand and said, "Don't explain, I don't believe it, but yes, it doesn't matter, Lao Tzu is not afraid of him, hairy boy, the milk hair has not faded yet, isn't it just relying on the identity of a martial champion, Lao Tzu crawled out of the pile of dead people with real knives and guns, I heard that he was still in the court and shook out the matter of me emptying Anqing City in front of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military and the emperor, hey, you say, Lao Tzu and him have no grudges, He actually demolished me behind my back."

When Zheng Sen heard this, he felt nervous in his heart, the army was moving frequently, could it be that he was going to deal with Wang Lanping? No, Hou Ye is stationed in Nanjing, is he going to besiege Nanjing City?

Zheng Sen said with a smiling face, "The mayfly shakes the tree, you can't do it yourself, general, you are not eating meat and drinking wine here yet."

Liu Zeqing tilted his head and smiled proudly, "That is, there are people in the court who are good officials these days, Ma Shoufu is our person, even the emperor has to give him three points of face, a little Wang Lanping can withstand me"

Zheng Sen smiled, "The general is wise, this person is too ignorant of current affairs, I have already broken off with him, and I am now your subordinate general."

Early this morning, Liu Zeqing received a secret letter from Ma Shiying, asking him to quickly lead the troops into Nanjing, and told Wang Lanping what he had done recently in Xiangshan, saying that he had self-respect and intended to mutiny, and now he had to take advantage of the fact that he had not made a difficulty, and he would first move forward and transfer the 60,000 troops in Jiangbei to enter the favorable terrain first and control the situation. I was going to rush back to Nanjing in the fastest time, but these tens of thousands of troops were stationed outside, and it would take some time to assemble, so I had a drink in the army first, and wanted to take the opportunity to pull Zheng Sen, there was Zheng Sen in the sailors of Zheng Hongkui who did not dare to move, and Zheng Zhilong of Fujian would also be honest.

Seeing that Zheng Sen repeatedly did not speak the truth, Liu Zeqing was a little displeased, "Brother Zheng, why are you still so hypocritical, to tell you the truth, when you came, did you see that the military horses in the camp were being mobilized?" ”

Zheng Sen was stunned for a moment, "I was about to ask the general, is there a war?" Full of thieves? ”

Liu Zeqing laughed, "No, no, no, Lao Tzu is going to take revenge, and I only blame Wang Lanping, this kid is too ignorant of the sky and the earth, and tens of thousands of people want to mutiny, which is ridiculous to death, I used to think that the kid was a little bit of a pound, who ever thought that he would do such a stupid thing, this Jiangnan superintendent general, which one does not hold more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, and who wants to be the king and hegemon, but who dares to be this bird, whoever comes out will find death"

Zheng Sen stood up suddenly when he heard this, and exclaimed, "Mutiny? Wang Lanping wants to mutiny? Zheng Sen didn't know at all.

Liu Zeqing is also a little experienced, seeing Zheng Sen's reaction is so big, it doesn't look like it's pretending, he may not really know, he is busy and smiled, "That's right, this kid is a mouse licking the cat's buttocks, and he wants to die, brother, I tell you the truth, but for your own good, you can't be confused, and then have nothing to do with him, Lingzun Zheng Da is now in the southeast area, and your uncle is also the chief soldier of the Navy Division, your Zheng family can be regarded as the leading figure in this Hongguang Dynasty, but you can't be implicated because of this kid."

Zheng Sen's mind was a mess, perfunctory, "General Xie reminds, remember in the future"

Liu Zeqing was already a little drunk, patted his round belly, and said, "Okay, it will take a few days for this soldiers and horses to assemble, you can rest first, and then go back to Nanjing with me" After speaking, he raised his voice and shouted outside the tent, "You two come in"

The two girls walked into the big tent step by step with frightened expressions on their faces, Zheng Sen glanced at them, and retreated helplessly, and then heard a sound of tearing clothes, and a girl was stripped naked by Liu Zeqing and thrown on top of the collapse.

Out of the big tent of the Chinese army, Zheng Sen was puzzled, how could it be? Why didn't Hou Ye notify me in advance of such a big thing, mutiny, this is to be reversed, if this thing is true, then I really have to think about it, Zheng Sen will never do a big rebellious thing.

Zheng Sen was sullen, what did Master Hou want to do? Could it really be that there will be a situation where the Ming army is in a hurry? Hundreds of thousands of Ming troops are fighting outside Nanjing, so what if the thieves and the thieves take advantage of the situation to enter?

Zheng Sen wanted to find a chance to leave the barracks, but when he looked back, Liu Zeqing's ten soldiers were like shadows, following everywhere they went, and they were really anxious.

In the evening, a general ran to Liu Zeqing's Chinese army tent in a hurry, and said, "General, I caught a spy, I came to find Deputy Chief Zheng Zheng, this person has a waist card from the Beijing camp, it should be sent by Wang Lanping" There was only a heavy sound inside, he shouted a few times, lifted the curtain nervously and walked in, and raised his voice and shouted again.

Liu Zeqing, who was sleeping soundly, turned over, woke up suddenly, pushed away the two naked girls lying beside him, and shouted, "Okay, Lao Tzu knows that this kid is restless, bring the spies to Lao Tzu, and also, throw these two girls to the brothers Lele, and find a place to bury them when they are done."

"Yes!"

Not long after, the spies were escorted in, it was the one sent by Wang Lanping, who was thrown in front of Liu Zeqing by two soldiers, covered with scars, blurred flesh and blood, and it seemed that there was only one breath left, but it didn't seem to ask anything, or Qian would have killed him early.

After this spy infiltrated into the barracks, he never had a chance to get close to Zheng Sen's camp tent, and he didn't dare to go back to restore his life, so he had to hang around in Zheng Sen's tent, not expecting to be discovered.

Liu Zeqing stepped forward and rubbed his face vigorously with his foot, "Don't pretend to be dead for Lao Tzu, say, Wang Lanping, what are you doing here?" ”

The spy snorted in pain, but did not speak.

Liu Zeqing is a kind of people, he has seen a lot of this kind of hard bones, and no one can be hard to the end in his hands.

"Someone, cut it, cut it until he says it" Liu Zeqing waved his hand, no one could hold on to a hundred knives under this kind of punishment.

Soon, a soldier brought in a variety of things, tied the spy to a cross, an old man laughed, walked in, holding a wooden box in his hand, in front of the spy, one by one took out the contents of the contents, it seems that this is a veteran, all kinds of knives, some of the bones, some of the marrow, and the beginning of the skull of the round axe.

The old thing first picked up a bull's ear sharp knife, shook it in front of the spies' panicked eyes, and suddenly a cold light flashed in his hand, and a human ear appeared in his hand.

"Ahh

It wasn't until the spy fainted five times that he was woken up by cold water, and the white bones of Sensen were exposed on one of his calves, that he finally couldn't resist anymore and spoke.

After Liu Zeqing heard this, he laughed and ordered someone to bury the spy alive.

It turned out that Wang Lanping asked him to tell Zheng Sen that the champion army would return to Nanjing on May 15, and asked Zheng Sen to closely monitor the movements of the Huai'an military camp, and do everything possible to prevent the Huai'an army from going around Wang Lanping's plan to control Nanjing, and wait for the champion army to control Nanjing, and then take the opportunity to kill Liu Zeqing and let Zheng Sen take charge of the Huai'an army.

Liu Zeqing laughed, May 15, there are still thirteen days, the Huai'an army is at most five days away from Nanjing, and before the champion army enters the city, the Huai'an army will first enter Nanjing, defend the city, and then combine with Gao Jie's army, internal and external attacks, and destroy you Wang Lanping in one fell swoop.

Liu Zeqing ordered Zheng Sen to be placed under house arrest in the army, but fortunately, there was enough time, and it was still early before Wang Lanping marched, and the speed of the army and horses gathering slowed down.
