"Is there any news on the injury?" Zhu Ping'an sat in the center of the council hall and asked.

Tonight, the Jinan General Military Office was brightly lit, and Shandong's military and political dignitaries, even those who served in the lecture hall like Lu Xiangsheng, gathered in the Military Aircraft Department of the General Military Office. For Shandong, tonight was also a sleepless night.

Zhang Mingzhen and Zhang Huangyan, two newly promoted cabinet members of the Military Aircraft Department, together with several secretaries, summarized, screened, and classified all kinds of news, and then all of them were sent to Zhu Ping'an, Lu Xiangsheng, Yin Shigang, and Yang Tinglin.

The situation in the world is chaotic, and the forces of all parties are intertwined, although Zhu Ping'an began to plan for today's changes early in the morning, but at the moment of major events, no one can guarantee that there will be any changes. Now the first point is the sudden intervention of the Zheng family. Although this giant family of the sea has just experienced a civil strife, its own power has been integrated and unified in the civil strife, and it is stronger than ever in comparison. Shandong must be careful.

Shandong's military and political dignitaries, in addition to the cabinet members of the Military Aircraft Department and Zhao Guangchen of the Governor's Yamen, Sun Heding, He Changshui, Zhang Tao, Sun Hedou, Sun Hejing, and the Rear Military Governor of the General Military Bureau, who are in charge of logistics and general affairs, are now renamed Hong Dahai, Ma Fuwang, the general office of the medical system, Sun Shikang of the General Staff Department, Guo Chai, the director of the Supervision Office, Zhang Yaoxian, the commander of the three guards of the New Army, Wu Anguo, Liu Jing, Qiu Ze, the commander of the soldiers and horses of the Yanzhou Mansion, as well as the chief instructor of the New Army, Goethe, the commander of the artillery unit, Meinher, and others are all absent. All of them came to the conference hall of the Military Aircraft Department to stand by.

But to everyone's surprise, after reading all the information, Zhu Ping'an first asked about Cao Wuxian's news.

Everyone unanimously surrendered their eyes to Yin Shigang, and Yin Shigang paused slightly, then stood up, bowed to Zhu Ping'an and replied: "Back to the marshal, the imperial court suddenly made a move on our personnel, after Ah Da desperately sent the news, I heard that he went to Taisu Palace to deliver the letter, and then Cao Ye had no news......!" ”

Zhu Ping'an's eyes darkened. Since the turmoil in Nanjing, although so far, all the trends are still within the initial expected track, but the sudden attack of Emperor Yixing is unexpected. For this reason, the Military Intelligence Department also paid the price of a meritorious subordinate like Ah Da, and immediately afterward, the Nanjing Thousand Households Office could no longer find Cao Wuxian's whereabouts.

Where exactly is he now? Is it life or death? is Zhu Ping'an's biggest problem today.

But what can be done now? This matter is different from others, it is completely beyond the scope of Zhu Ping'an's control, and now, there is no other good way except waiting.

"Tell the Nanjing side to go all out to find out the news that there are no injuries!" Zhu Ping'an sighed.

"Don't worry, the lower official has already handed down the order, and he will definitely be able to find out Cao Ye's whereabouts.

Huaide tiptoed into the council hall from the side door, walked behind Zhu Ping'an, and said softly: "Dashuai, it's ugly now." In the middle of the night, Madame specially prepared some supper, you see ......! ”

A warmth struck, Zhu Ping'an relaxed, smiled and nodded, "It's rare that Mrs. is still thinking about us, you can also rest for a while and taste the craftsmanship of Mrs. and the young lady." ”

Hong Dahai suddenly laughed, he was the governor of the rear army, and he has always been responsible for the logistics and supply of the army, people are rude, but his mind is extremely delicate, he has always been hard-working and conscientious for so many years, plus the Shandong Urban Management Office in charge, he works hard every day, and the whole person has lost a lot of weight. At this time, when I heard that there was a supper to enjoy, I immediately slapped my belly.

"Mrs. and young lady sister's craftsmanship is not there, say, handsome, today is enough to manage enough! My old Hong hasn't eaten a lot of time in a few days! ”

Everyone laughed non-stop, and Huaide led the servants of the General Military Mansion to rush in and distribute the supper to everyone's hands. A bowl of steaming shredded chicken wonton is served on a tray, accompanied by chili oil made from red peppers, a specialty of Denglai, accompanied by a small bowl of vegetarian porridge and a stack of green vegetables.

Huaide smiled and said to everyone: "Don't worry, my lords, Mrs. has been busy in the back house for a night, and she is preparing these supper snacks. ”

Everyone smiled and thanked Zhu Ping'an and his wife, and for a while, the entire hall was filled with the sound of sucking one after another.

As soon as Huaide turned around, he came to Zhu Ping'an, "Marshal, General Cao Bianjiao and a total of 1,000 people from the left and right thousand households are ready to go, General Cao, Shen Qianhu and Wang Qianhu, when will they leave?" ”

Zhu Ping'an said while eating wonton slowly: "After the military discussion is over, we will set off, let them rest easy, recuperate, there is no time to rest in the next few days!" ”

"Understood!" Wilder bowed, turned and exited the council hall.

After a while, the personnel of the Military Intelligence Department sent in the information, and everyone unconsciously put down the bowl in their hands, stood up and looked at Zhu Ping'an.

Zhu Ping'an finished reading the note in his hand, "Everyone, Ma Shiying, Ruan Dacheng, Liu Kongzhao, Zuo Mengeng, and Liu Liangzuo launched a rebellion in Nanjing, His Majesty was unfortunately killed, and the dragon returned to heaven!" ”

There was a sudden uproar in the council hall, but there was a lot of excitement in it, only Yang Tinglin and Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but feel a little sad, sat on the chairs, and were silent.

Yin Shigang took a step forward, "The Beijing division is in chaos, the Son of Heaven is in trouble, my Shandong army should immediately raise the righteous division, enter Beijing to quell the rebellion, please give the order of the marshal, I and other Shandong athletes will be killed in Nanzhili, hoe traitors for the country, sweep away the universe, and return the people to the world!" ”

"Please give the order!" The crowd shouted in unison.

"Good!" Zhu Ping'an got up and waved his arm heavily, "With your help, why worry about big things?" ”

"Yang Tinglin!" Zhu Ping'an called out the first name.

"Ahh Yang Tinglin, who was originally a little depressed, was stunned, and suddenly stood up, "Here!" ”

"This commander ordered you to be the governor of the rebellion, and led the 30,000 people of the first guard Zhang Yaoxian and the second guard Wu Dingguo of the new army to go south to the Beijing division, and the Meinhull artillery unit transferred two battalions of soldiers and horses under your command to go south together!"

Yang Tinglin was speechless for a while, and only after a while did he squeeze out a few words from his mouth, "Dashuai, ...... this?" ”

"What? To avenge the Son of Heaven, are you Yang Tinglin unwilling to take the order? Zhu Ping'an asked rhetorically.

Yang Tinglin's face suddenly turned red, and he crossed his hands to salute, "The lower official is willing to go!" ”

"After all, you used to work in the East Palace, and you have a strong friendship with His Majesty, and you are the commander of the Southern Expedition, do you understand the meaning of this?" Zhu Ping'an said in a low voice.

Yang Tinglin's heart trembled, and he bowed deeply, "Don't worry, your good intentions, the lower officials understand!" ”

Zhu Ping'an nodded with satisfaction, and let Yang Tinglin lead the army south, in order to fulfill the righteousness of the monarch and ministers between him and Emperor Yixing, and it can be regarded as fulfilling his previous explanation.

"Qiu Ze!"

"In!"

"Order you to command the 20,000 troops of the new army of Yanzhou Mansion, immediately enter Henan, return to Yue Jinfeng, defeat Zuo Mengeng's troops, and then turn south to join Yang Tinglin's army in Nanjing!"

"Yes!"

Zhu Ping'an suddenly laughed, "That Zuo Mengeng has 200,000 people, you are so confident that you can win in one battle!" ”

Qiu Ze grinned: "Dashuai, when I was fighting with the Tartars outside the gate, then Zuo Mengeng may not have been weaned yet, I'm afraid he will be a ball!" His son Zuo Liangyu is still a character, he Zuo Mengeng, he is not even worthy of lifting shoes for my old enemy! ”

There was a burst of laughter in the council hall, and Hong Dahai took the opportunity to laugh and said: "Old enemy! You're not afraid of the wind flashing your tongue! ”

Zhu Ping'an was upright, "Zuo Liangyu has led the army for 20 years, although he fought with the Chuang army earlier, the elite under his command has lost seven or eight, although he is dead, but the veteran general in the army is still there, don't take it lightly!" ”

Looking at Qiu Ze's nonchalant application, Zhu Ping'an had no choice but to add, "You and Yue Jinfeng must not underestimate the enemy, and steady and steady fighting is the way to win." After arriving in Henan, someone will naturally contact you, and you must not be arrogant and contemptuous! ”

Qiu Ze couldn't help but be a little confused, but looking at Zhu Ping'an's solemn expression, he didn't dare to ask more, so he had to agree.

After a short period of effort, everyone took the order one by one, and Zhu Ping'an handed over the affairs of Shandong to Zhao Guangchen and Lu Xiangsheng of the Military Aircraft Department. At present, the Qing army is fighting fiercely with Li Zicheng in Shanxi, and the Shun army in Huguang and Henan is also on the way to reinforcements one after another. This can buy more time for himself to pacify Jiangnan. Although after this great change, Zhu Ping'an has not been able to grasp all the peak power of the Ming Dynasty, but at least the power of the Ming Dynasty can be integrated under one banner.

This banner can only be his Zhu Ping'an's father, Tang King Zhu Yujian. The previous plots were all for this purpose.

When he walked out of the council hall with his armor in his armor, Zhu Ping'an stopped a figure who looked a little lonely.

"Brother Shikang!"

Sun Shikang turned around and bowed.

Zhu Ping'an looked at it, and there was still a thick worried look hidden between Sun Shikang's eyebrows.

"Dingbei Bo died in Luyi, have you heard about it?"

Sun Shikang nodded.

"News from Nanjing, the rebellious party invaded the imperial city, His Majesty and the queen were martyred at the same time, and Dingbeibo's mansion in Nanjing was also raided!"

"The lower officials have heard about these!" Sun Shikang solemnly waved at Zhu Ping'an, "The lower official has not yet expressed his gratitude to the marshal." Lord Yin just sued the lower official, and the handsome ordered someone to protect the aunt and younger brother Shining, and now they are fine! ”

Zhu Ping'an looked at Sun Shikang's expression, "I have a chance to rescue Dingbeibo, but I don't move, don't you hate me?" ”

Sun Shikang was stunned for a moment, but shook his head, "The handsome man has done his best to my uncle." Just before the fall of Luyi, Lord Yin also sent someone to send the handwritten letter of the lower official into the city, asking my uncle to move to Suizhou and take refuge for a while. But my uncle ......."

"Xia Guan understands his uncle's thoughts, after three dynasties, through ups and downs, his uncle's thoughts are all about revitalizing the family and proving himself! How could he be willing to come to Shandong and live under the marshal? What's more, he also has the identity of a national abbot, and the situation has forced him to have no way out! ”R1152
