Chapter 107: Physical Homicide
Cai Changshun, who was anxious, snatched the secret order translated by Tang Baocheng, and when he saw several major events of "the regimental training camp is critical", Cai Changshun's face turned snow-white, and he endured the shock in his heart and continued to look at it, the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became......
"The court is crazy!" After reading it, Cai Changshun weakly threw the secret order on the table and sat back down, the strange thing was that Tang Baocheng did not have any look of grief and shock, Cai Changshun felt that he must have read it wrong, because he felt that Tang Baocheng had a faint joy.
"Your Excellency ordered you to rush to Changping to preside over the overall situation, what do you think?" Cai Changshun stared at Tang Bao Chengdao.
Tang Baocheng frowned and turned around twice, and said slowly: "This is an excellent opportunity, it must not be wasted!" ”
Cai Changshun didn't understand, and hesitated: "Good opportunity? What a good opportunity? ”
Tang Baocheng looked at Cai Changshun, nodded and said, "Changshun, have you considered our Lushun's way out in the future?" ”
Cai Changshun was inexplicable, and asked rhetorically: "A way out?" ”
Tang Baocheng said: "Yes, our way out in the future, the main force of the Thunder Division is currently confronting Jiannu, but have you ever thought about what if Jiannu is destroyed?" Where are our enemies? ”
Cai Changshun didn't answer, but there was a thoughtful expression on his face.
Tang Baocheng said again: "If Yangguan Fort can consume a large number of Jiannu elites, according to my judgment, our Lushun will only need two years to sweep Liaodong, and at that time, it will be time to force the adults to have a showdown." ”
Cai Changshun shook his head slowly: "How can it be so easy, some things can't be heated." No matter how anxious you are, it's useless."
Tang Baocheng clenched his fist with one hand and said, "It's nothing more than a matter of reputation......
Cai Changshun sneered: "The name is not right, Baocheng." Don't underestimate this title, how many heroes and heroes in history have been pressed by this title for a lifetime and dare not act rashly. ”
Tang Baocheng said with a smile: "So I said that the imperial court gave us an excuse, since Emperor Chongzhen handed us the handle of the knife, then don't blame me for stabbing him in a dignified manner, Changshun, how about you see this excuse on the side of the king?" ”
Cai Changshun was taken aback. said: "The adults transferred you to preside over the overall situation, not to let you engage in any conspiracy, but to let you find a way to bring the regimental training camp out of the predicament." ”
Tang Baocheng shook his head and said, "Wrong." Changshun, you really can't understand the mind of adults and preside over the overall situation? The regimental training camp was trapped in Changping, and what overall situation did Tang Baocheng from the Foreign Intelligence Department want me to preside over? Since your lord sent me, it means that your lord has made up his mind! ”
Seeing Cai Changshun's face confused. Tang Baocheng explained: "I also thought about the future of Lushun before. Is it impossible to want the three places of Lushun to return to the rule of the imperial court? I don't know what other people think, but I Tang Baocheng absolutely disagree, my Tang family has been a military family for generations, and I can't eat enough, if it weren't for the adults coming, I Tang Baocheng would still be struggling on the verge of death, and you Cai Changshun is the same, without adults, I am afraid that you will be the same as Yu Xueyong or Jiannu's lowly coat. But the problem is that out of the three places of Lushun. What would people in other places think? The north is better, but what about the south? So adults have been holding back, if they don't want to, they can't do it. ”
Tang Baocheng said again: "The adults use the slogan of expelling the Tartars to unite people's hearts, but the Tartars will always be beaten one day, and at that time, what will the adults use to unite people's hearts?" After beating the holy decree of the Jiannu Imperial Court to disarm and return to the field, how should the adults deal with it? Don't forget, the Zhu family is far from the point of resentment and anger, as the saying goes, the first to rot, with the intelligence of adults, they will never passively wait until the group rises up to attack it, but I have never figured out how the adults will be arranged, until Xiucai was expelled, and I didn't understand it after basing myself in Henan. ”
Cai Changshun was a little surprised, and said, "Why did you get involved with the bandit army again?" Didn't the bandit army have already betrayed Lushun and have nothing to do with the adults? ”
Tang Baocheng smiled slightly: "Do you really believe it?" The adults played a good show of cronyism, and they hid from a lot of people, think about it, the bandit army only gained a foothold in dozens of vicious battles in Henan, without Lushun's private support, he Wang Zao is really so powerful? ”
Cai Changshun retorted unconvinced: "Baocheng, I didn't say you, you have been in the Foreign Affairs Department for a long time, everything seems to you to smell of conspiracy?" Can you still predict the prophet and deduce that the camp will be destroyed? ”
Tang Baocheng shook his head: "Of course it is impossible to be an unpredictable prophet, but it is just a plan to push the boat along the water, Changshun, I advise you, you have always regarded adults as masters and fathers, but if you can't even understand the thoughts of adults, then I don't think you can do it for long in the Department of Foreign Affairs." ”
Cai Changshun was silent, and Tang Baocheng changed the topic and said, "How many people in the Thunder Division are full of dragon thoughts? It's ridiculous that they shouted it was easy, but they didn't understand the difficulties of the adults, originally I thought that the adults would force Jiannu into the customs, and Lushun followed Liaodong and Shandong to encircle Jiannu in the Gyeonggi area, but there are too many loopholes in this layout, and the variables are also big, and there is not much operability. ”
Cai Changshun is not a fool, he thought for a while and said: "But the bandit army only occupies an enclave in Henan, and there is no decades of development, so it is not the opponent of the imperial court at all?" ”
Tang Baocheng laughed: "Liukou is not just a bandit army, right? To tell you a top-secret news, in October, the Liukou fell into Xingyang, Gao Yingxiang and the generals Zhang Xianzhong, Luo Rucai, Lao Huihui, Ge Liyan, Zuo Jin Wang, Reincarnated King, Shooting the Collapse of the Sky, Hengtian King, Shuntian King, Mixed 100,000, Guotianxing, Nine Dragons and other thirteen Liukou leaders, the 72nd battalion meeting in Xingyang, to discuss the rejection of the enemy, Li Zicheng put forward the strategy of "dividing troops and orienting the army, attacking the battle in four directions", Gao Yingxiang, Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng and other strategies to attack the East, and the recently emerging bandit army also received an invitation......"
Cai Changshun suddenly realized, nodded and said, "I see." ”
Tang Baocheng said again: "Your Excellency is a grudge against the Liukou, this layout is also a backhand to prevent accidents, let the locust-like Liukou break through Gyeonggi, and the last thing the adult took over was the ruined land that was eaten up with a thousand holes, this kind of strategy is not easy for adults to use unless it is absolutely necessary, so the imperial court gave us an opportunity to take advantage of this time, do you understand the meaning of the Adult's Foreign Intelligence Department to preside over the overall situation?" ”
Cai Changshun nodded and said, "Buy people's hearts." Occupy the name of righteousness"
Tang Baocheng smiled, reached out and patted Cai Changshun's shoulder and said, "Far more than that, my lord hopes to let the people in the Gyeonggi area understand." The court produced traitors, Emperor Chongzhen was a saint, but he was deceived by the shameless traitors, these traitors hooked up to build slaves, wantonly framed Zhongliang, my regiment training camp is the Ming Dynasty wronged Yue Shaobao, Changping Mutiny is the poisonous hand of these traitors. In order to lay a broad public opinion foundation for the future army of the Qing monarch, in order to make many people sympathetic, at least not disgusted. This time, I am afraid that all the storytellers and singers in the three places of Lushun will be moved, and many instructors will also be sent out. We, the Department of Foreign Affairs, should take the lead in the progress of this public opinion war. The action team must be sent out, go deep into the people, and go to the major restaurants and tea shops to carry out activities, and the bigger the momentum, the better......"
Cai Changshun thought for a while, and said with some worry: "I personally think it's better to control the momentum, in case the wind direction of the court changes, and Emperor Chongzhen finds a few small characters to throw out as scapegoats, won't we punch the cotton hard?" ”
Tang Baocheng frowned. After pacing a few steps with his hands behind his back, he suddenly turned around and said, "Then find a target that Emperor Chongzhen is reluctant to throw out as a scapegoat!" ”
Cai Changshun's eyes lit up. The two said in unison: "Cao Huachun?!" ”
After speaking, the two laughed, full of confidants.
After talking and laughing, Cai Changshun remembered something and said: "There is another difficulty here, the regimental training camp is trapped in Changping, and the imperial army outside the city is attacking day and night, I am very worried, the regimental training camp does not bring many firearms, I am worried about how long they can support it?" ”
Tang Baocheng said lightly: "Actually, I hope that the regimental training camp will fight as fiercely as possible, and it is better to annihilate the whole army......
Before Tang Baocheng finished speaking, Cai Changshun was furious and slapped his palm on the table: "Enough!" Baocheng, I don't know how your heart grows? The unexpected death of Zheng Sanxing is by no means good news for me! You Tang Baocheng not only blasphemed Zheng Sanxing's sacrifice by thinking like this, but also looked down on me Cai Changshun's personality, do you have any humanity in addition to calculating interests? These are all our brothers, and they are our good brothers in Lushun! How cold-blooded would you be to say such a thing? ”
Tang Baocheng was stunned and said with a smile: "You see, telling the truth is always not easy to be accepted, in fact, we all think so in our hearts, don't we?" We don't need to be so hypocritical."
Seeing that Cai Changshun was about to get angry again, Tang Baocheng hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, don't forget, even if I want the regimental training camp to be wiped out, the adults will definitely be the first to kill me, don't worry, let's just do our duty, and it's not my turn to interfere in the military." ”
Cai Changshun sat down and gasped for breath, and Tang Baocheng changed the topic and said: "Changping is in danger, I will leave tomorrow, and the matter of the North Korean negotiations will be settled with you." ”
When Tang Baocheng mentioned business, Cai Changshun immediately calmed down and said, "Who are you going to let take over?" Qiu Yong? ”
Tang Baocheng shook his head: "I mean Wang Xiaoqi"
Cai Changshun said in surprise: "Qiu Yong is the chief officer of the first action team, and Xiao Qi is the chief officer of the second action team, why do I feel that you always send Xiao Qi when you have easy tasks?" It's kind of unfair, right? Do you see that Xiao Qi's father and adults have a deep affection for him, and they have the heart to promote him? ”
Tang Baocheng laughed and said, "Even you can see it?" If Xiao Qi was originally born in Anton Wei's career, and he has a set of ways to deal with scoundrels, can you accept this reason? ”
Cai Changshun snorted and said, "The longer I work with you, the more I feel that you have more problems." ”
Tang Baocheng spread his hands disapprovingly, and said: "The fight between the two factions in North Korea is quite fierce, and the requirements of the negotiation team this time are very domineering, on the contrary, the Houjin side has suffered a big loss in southern Liaoning, and it will definitely lower its profile and plead with kindness for the big rear side of North Korea, so I am worried that some people in North Korea will not remember to eat and fight, and forget that it is time for Houjin to bully them, the negotiation process will be very long and arduous, tell Xiaoqi to be patient, talk while talking, and do not stop in private, there are three main purposes." ”
Cai Changshun took out the letter paper and began to record.
“…… In addition to the necessary deterrence by force, some empty promises must also be released, those who are close to the Ming family must be firmly tied together with commercial interests, and if necessary, North Korea can deepen its suspicion and hatred of Houjin, and when necessary, it can even let the action team pretend to be a Tartar to do it, let Wang Xiaoqi let go and do it, don't have any scruples, Li Liang has provoked two rogue neighbors, he must choose one side to keep safe, and then the investigation of Li Liang's heir must also be accelerated, and those ministers who are close to Houjin must be intensified to win over and divide, If you can't win over, you will be framed, what collusion will be plotted to rebel, what conspiracy to poison Li Liang's diet, anyway, I will use all the means I can use. ”
Cai Changshun stopped his pen and sneered: "Li Qi provoked you, but it was really bad luck." ”
Tang Baocheng didn't answer, but took out a package of things from the drawer of the table, snapped it and threw it in front of Cai Changshun: "You're right, Li Liang is really going to be unlucky, let's see if Xiao Qi can find a way to contact the people in the Li Dynasty's imperial dining room, and if he has the opportunity, put some of this stuff in Li Liang's diet." ”
Cai Changshun was startled, didn't dare to open the package of poison, and asked, "Didn't you say that you had to wait for the adults to agree before implementing it?" ”
Tang Baocheng shook his head: "This thing is called Jingang powder, a chronic poison, as long as you eat it, it will be adsorbed on the stomach wall, and it will grind through the stomach wall for a long time and cause internal bleeding and death, this is a physical homicide method, and the toxicity cannot be found at all, do you think adults will care about Li Liang's life or death?" What adults care about is North Korea's attitude and stability, needless to say, let Xiao Qi do it, right? ”
"Physical homicide?" Cai Changshun opened the package of powder in disbelief...... (To be continued......)
