It's just that I didn't expect that these Shanyou businessmen of the Fan family still have so much energy. The Denglai Trade Zone was established, in which the Shanyou merchants suffered heavy losses, and the salt and iron business that had been based on Denglai to supply the Manchu Qing Dynasty was also uprooted, so they hated Zhu Ping'an to the core.

After receiving the order from the outside of the customs, Fan Yongdou, the head of the Fan family, used a resource that could be used, trying to take this opportunity to kill Zhu Ping'an, who was transporting grain to Beijing, in Tianjin. In order to avenge the revenge of the two arrows of Fengyang and Denglai.

It's just that people are not as good as heaven, Fan Yongdou and Dolgon never thought that Ning Wan and I have become an important chess piece hidden outside the gate by Zhu Ping'an.

It was the report of this chess piece at a critical moment that enabled Zhu Ping'an to avoid the dark arrow this time.

Speaking of which, this is still thanks to the blessing and slimming cream offered by López. Zhu Ping'an deeply knows the toxicity of this thing, once it is contaminated, even a man who is beaten with iron will be stripped of three layers of skin. What's more, it's a guy like me who forgets his ancestors and only knows how to pursue glory and wealth. But it is precisely because of the huge danger of Fu Slimming Paste that until now, this thing has been the top secret of Denglai.

Guo Chai ordered to plant this poison secretly, but this poison likes a humid and high temperature environment, even with the greenhouse effect of a vegetable greenhouse, it is difficult to plant it in Shandong, so the yield has not been high, and Zhu Ping'an does not dare to plant this poison on a large scale, a careless, it is an irreparable harm to the Chinese people.

After inquiring about the captured Tianjin guards, there were still surviving officers, and after inquiring, Zhu Ping'an learned that Zhao Liangdong and the grain supervisor of the Tianjin Caoyun Yamen had been missing for more than 20 days. These days, it has been the commander of the Tianjin Left Guard, Wang Liangzai, who is doing his thing. Due to the disappearance of Zhao Liangdong and the Governor of the Grain Road, the soldiers of the Tianjin Sanwei had already run out of food, and this time they were bewitched by Wang Liang and a group of officers, preparing to kill the officials and rebel, and seize the grain in order to survive.

No need to ask, this Wang Liang is obviously the secret pile of the Fan family in Tianjin, but he has just died in the chaos with several henchmen, and the body has been found.

Listening to these causes and consequences, Zhu Ping'an's heart couldn't help but feel a little gloomy. Tianjin Wei is still hiding the hidden stake of the Tartars, and when it comes to this matter today, it is really the luck of Emperor Chongzhen, and fortunately, Wang Liang's identity has been discovered now. If it was time to prepare to move south, when Wang Liang turned against him, he would have caused more losses than he did now.

"Qiqi Dashuai, that Mao Yunju just now was caught!" The officer of the right thousand households came to report breathlessly. Several soldiers behind him were grabbing the five-flowered Mao Yunju and walking over.

Mao Yunju was wearing a fishing cushion made of shark skin, his hair was soaked with seawater, and his face was a little pale. But it turned out that he had just released the signal, so he and his men jumped into the sea, wanting to take advantage of the chaos to swim to the fort, but they were shocked into the sea by the artillery fire of the Denglai Naval Division, and they were caught alive.

"Kill!" Zhu Ping'an just glanced at it and said.

Yang Tinglin and Wang Pin were about to dissuade them, but they found a trace of cunning in Zhu Ping'an's eyes, so they quickly closed their mouths.

Sure enough, this white fat man Mao Yunju is indeed not a warrior who regards death as home, as soon as Zhu Ping'an's words came out, he immediately knelt on the ground with tears in his eyes, "Zhu Dashuai, please take a little life, the villain is willing to reveal all the truth!" ”

"The truth?" Zhu Ping'an glanced at his mouth with disdain, "Does the official still want you to tell the truth?" Can the Fan family hide these ghosts from the eyes of their own officials? ”

"Ahh Mao Yunju was stunned for a moment, he really didn't expect Zhu Ping'an to even know about this situation, and he didn't know how to speak for a while.

Seeing that the soldier had already drawn out the cold and shining steel knife, and his eyes were only looking at his neck, Mao Yunju was suddenly so frightened that he peed his pants, "Dashuai, the villain knows where Wang Liang locked up Chief Zhao and Lord Liangdao!" ”

Zhu Ping'an smiled, "Okay, take the official to find it immediately." If you find someone, the official can temporarily leave your dog's life, and then when you go to the Beijing Division, you will have your own brocade guard and ask, what should you say when the time comes, you don't need the official to teach you again, right? ”

As soon as he heard the words "Jinyiwei", Mao Yunju collapsed to the ground like a deflated ball.

The layout of Tianjin City is not large, and the people in the city are only tens of thousands of people, and the rumbling cannons in the harbor have already made them unstoppable. At this time, the Dengzhou army escorted a large number of captured soldiers into the city, which made them even more frightened, and every house closed their doors, probing through the gaps in the doors and windows, but they firmly grasped some valuable belongings in their hands, and wanted to escape from the city when they saw the opportunity.

The so-called "bandits are like washing, and soldiers are like sieves", there is no difference between soldiers and bandits in these years, and it is always ordinary people who are unlucky. However, after the Dengzhou army entered the city, it was a big surprise, occupying the gates and government offices of the four cities, and then it was an orderly list of Anmin, saying that Zhu Ping'an, the chief soldier of the Shandong Dynasty, entered Beijing on the orders of the emperor, and Xiaoxiaoliukou took the opportunity to make a rebellion, and now it has been pacified, and the people are at peace, and there is no need to panic.

Under the leadership of Mao Yunju, everyone went straight to the Tianjin General Guard's Mansion, the front of the door was barren, open the door to see, there were traces of fierce battles everywhere, it seems that Wang Liang and Mao Yunju and others overcame the obstacles here It really took a lot of effort. Although no corpses were visible, there were large patches of blood on the ground and steps that had not had time to be washed.

Passing through the main hall and going straight to the backyard, Mao Yunju pointed to the hall in the middle and said: "Don't hide it from the marshal, Wang Liang is to lock up Zhao Zongbing and Liangdao and others here, there were originally guards, it seems that they got the news and slipped away!" ”

Shen Ke rushed up the steps with people, wielding a knife to cut the chains and other objects on the door, as soon as he opened the door, he was almost smoked by the bloody breath that came to his face, and at this time, he found that a large area of dark black blood that had dried up flowed out along the corner of the door crack.

Zhu Ping'an's face changed, he walked up the steps quickly, and looked inside, but there were dozens of corpses lying down in the hall, as if they had been dead for a long time, as soon as the door opened, the flies in the room rushed out, and an indescribable stench came to his face.

Mao Yunju peeked at the situation in the house, and the three souls and seven spirits were suddenly scared away, and quickly knelt down and kowtowed, "Handsome Rongyu, the villain really doesn't know that this Wang Liang, who killed a thousand knives, actually made such a poisonous hand to all the adults in the morning, what the villain said is true, don't dare to deceive ......!" ”

"Shut up!" Zhu Ping'an's face turned pale. Tianjin civil and military officials were all killed, this Fan's method can not be described as vicious, the tumor attached to the body of the Ming Dynasty is getting bigger and bigger, and now it has come to the time when it has to be eradicated. As early as when he was in Fengyang, Zhu Ping'an had such an idea, but Fan's turtle was shrinking in Zhangjiakou, which was close to Mongolia and the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and had been in business for many years. Now it seems that even if it is difficult, it is necessary to take a risk.

Fan's relationship in the court, the currently known leaders are He Youling and Liu Zhongshu, and other officials related to Shanyou merchants don't know how much, when Fan Yongnian and Wang Yanshu were eliminated in Shandong, Zhu Ping'an has more or less some evidence, it seems that if you want to completely eliminate the power of the eight Shanyou families in the court, you still have to start with these two people.

Mao Yunju was kept under strict guard, and this person was to be handed over to Wang Chengen after he arrived in Beijing. Zhu Ping'an also ordered people to clean up all the corpses in the house, a total of twenty-three, Zhao Liangdong and Tianjin Caoyun Yamen's Grain Inspector were among them, and the rest were their subordinates. found a coffin to decorate the burial and choose a day to be buried, Zhu Ping'an wrote a special chapter to explain to Chongzhen the martyrdom of Zhao Liangdong and others, and asked the court for mercy and compensation.

More importantly, Zhao Liangdong was killed because of Wang Liang, and Emperor Chongzhen's plan to move south was greatly affected, and he was bound to choose a new reliable candidate to guard Tianjin.

There are about 10,000 people in Tianjin Sanwei in total, and now the dragons have no leader, coupled with the lack of clothing and food, and now the people's hearts are already floating, if they can't be properly handled, there will be chaos after the Dengzhou army leaves.

In view of this, Yang Tinglin asked Zhu Ping'an to distribute the surplus grain from the Tianjin official warehouse to the sergeants to stabilize the morale of the army. There were also some surviving officers of the Tianjin Wei, among whom they were selected to temporarily preside over the overall situation and wait for the personnel arrangements of the imperial court. Zhu Ping'an adopted them one by one.

Just when Zhu Ping'an finished handling the affairs of Tianjin and was about to set off from Tianjin to escort the tax silver and grain directly into Beijing, Wang Chengen and Dengzhou sent the latest news at the same time.

At the end of May, Huang Taiji had personally led his troops from Shengjing, and the army stormed Jinzhou and Ningyuan, and Hong Chengchou sent troops to support, but suffered successive defeats on the front line of Tashan and Xingshan. The situation outside the border suddenly became tense. The skirmishes between the Ming and Qing dynasties, which were originally out of the tentative stage, suddenly rose to the point where a major war was about to break out.

At the urging of Emperor Chongzhen and the cabinet, Hong Chengchou led the troops of the eight general troops, with 110,000 infantry and 40,000 cavalry, and marched out of Shanhaiguan and approached the line of Jinzhou and Ningyuan.

Under these circumstances, Li Dingguo had already sent a letter back to Dengzhou, asking if he would send troops to the Manchu flank to support the main force of the Ming army. Please ask Zhu Ping'an to make a decision as soon as possible.

At the beginning, Zhu Ping'an sent troops into Korea and occupied Phi Dao, in order to realize Yuan Keli's strategic concept, on the one hand, he pressed the main force of the Manchu Qing Dynasty from the Shanhaiguan Pass and Ningjin line, and on the other hand, he used Phi Dao and Korea as a springboard to send sailors to threaten the Manchu flanks and attract some troops.

Now that the Ningjin War is about to break out, although the DPRK and Phi Dao are still in short operation, at this critical moment, it is still very necessary to send troops to harass the Manchu flank and rear. In addition, at present, Yingordai has 15,000 men and horses to monitor Korea and Phi Dao, which in itself has achieved the purpose of attracting enemy troops.

Therefore, Zhu Ping'an did not hesitate to give the order for Li Dingguo to immediately send troops to the west. It's just that this attack can't be done in the name of the Ming army, and the specific operation is up to Li Dingguo to decide on the spot, in short, he can't let the troops left behind by the British Erdai and the Manchu Qing reinforce the Ningjin line.
