Cheng Shanwei commanded Xu Qian Manmen to be slaughtered for less than three hours, and Mo Gao, the commander of Da Songwei, got the news. Compared with Lin Deyuan's rash appearance and Xu Qi's positive response, Mo Gao had already kept an eye on it early on, and he knew that Cai Liansheng couldn't believe it lightly. This person is obviously for everyone's rich future, but in fact, he just wants to keep the territory of Dengzhou for Liu Zeqing. Although Dengzhou is small in area, its geographical conditions are unique.

In the last years of Jiajing, the Ming Dynasty opened the sea ban. In the Longqing and Wanli years, the coastal provinces of Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong reopened the city, and the maritime trade reached its peak for a time. In the first year of Chongzhen, Emperor Chongzhen, who had just succeeded to the throne, was foolishly issued an order to ban the sea by the new cabinet composed of Donglin Party members, and recalled the eunuchs who managed the city's shipping division. In the following ten years, the maritime trade along the coast of the Ming Dynasty did not stop for a moment, because the civil official group, especially the Donglin Party, could not receive a share of the tax and silver of the sea trade, while the civil official group, merchants in the coastal areas, and pirate groups benefited greatly and made a lot of money. Until recent years, because of the financial constraints of the war, Emperor Chongzhen had to issue an order to lift the sea ban.

As the easternmost important town of the Ming Dynasty, Dengzhou can reach Liaodong and Korea to the north, and the distance from the Japanese is not far away, so it has also become the most rampant area of maritime smuggling trade in the north. How can such a fat piece of fat and oily fat fall into the hands of others!

Cai Liansheng instigated the Four Guards Mutiny, undoubtedly with the idea of continuing to occupy Dengzhou. At this time, it is possible to maintain the status quo and pull down Zhu Ping'an's thorn from the horse; Defeated. Naturally, there are four guards and one cadre to be scapegoats, and their intentions can be described as vicious.

But now in the form of shì, the four guards have no way to retreat, and can only follow Cai Liansheng to the black. However, Mo Gao is not a brainless horseman like Lin Deyuan and Xu Qi, as soon as Penglai's meeting ended, he sent his henchmen to infiltrate the other guards, and even Cai Lian was followed by eyeliner after he was promoted, in order not to make a head bird. If the other guards move, he will only move, if they don't move. Mo Gao wouldn't move no matter what.

But it was in the wee hours of the morning. Mo Gao received a flying pigeon message from the spies who were planted in Chengshanwei. Cheng Shanwei commanded Xu Qi's mansion to suddenly close its doors, Xu Qi and his subordinates have not been seen since, and the spies have dared to approach the mansion, but they found an unusual large number of black shadows. The faint smell of blood permeated the air. Seeing that something had happened in Xu Qi's mansion.

Get the message. Mo Gao's cold sweat trickled down, it seems that this Zhu Ping'an is really not a fuel-efficient lamp, and the hand that is the first to strike is playing with perfect fire. No need to ask, Xu Qian has already been poisoned. As soon as the commander and the commander ran out, the whole army was already dead, and the remaining few thousand households could do anything!

The most critical thing at the moment is, where should Mo Gao go? Do you want to contact Cai Liansheng immediately? Or do you immediately leave for Penglai to ask Zhu Ping'an for his guilt? For a while, Mo Gao was in a dilemma.

Outside the door, there was an inopportune knock. A thousand households ran in, "My lord, it's not good, the sea is densely covered with ships, the sky is not bright, and I can't see the flag clearly, but I am surrounded by my Da Song Guard!" ”

Mo Gao stood up abruptly. "It's coming, it's still coming! Zhu Ping'an's move was launched at the same time, like thunder, and he didn't give himself the slightest chance! ”

After all, Mo Gao has been an official for more than ten years, and he has seen countless winds and waves, but at this time, he calmed down, "Come on, serve the official in armor!" ”

Mo Gaotie, who was dressed in military uniform, had a blue face, and under the escort of more than 20 personal soldiers and a group of subordinates, he climbed the Wanghai Tower of the Great Song Guard to look.

The morning sun in the distance slowly climbed out of the sea level, and the rippling blue sea reflected ten thousand golden lights, but at this time, the sea was murderous, and more than 100 large and small ships firmly blocked the entrance to the sea of Da Songwei.

The subordinate officers saw the flag clearly, and immediately exclaimed: "How is it the ship of the Denglai Naval Division?" Tong Wanjun's old puppet is so crazy that he can't do it, why did he come to the door of my Da Songwei's house? ”

Mo Gao stared at the ships on the sea with his eyes, and asked in a deep voice, "Did Tong Wanjun send someone over to explain the reason?" ”

"No, it just blocked the way out of the sea for our guard, but it didn't send anyone ashore!"

Mo Gao thought about it for a long time, and sighed, "That's it, that's it, Cai Liansheng and we both underestimated that Zhu Ping'an!" Send someone to contact Tong Wanjun at sea, this official will follow the general order of General Zhu, and will start to clean up the account books of military households and fields on the same day, and within ten days, it will definitely be delivered to the Yamen of Penglai Dusi! ”

The subordinate officials could only sigh and agree, everyone knew that Tong Wanjun's arrival in the city was Zhu Ping'an's instruction. There is no need to guess, there must be a future behind this land route, and now it seems that Da Songwei is already a turtle in the urn.

"No need!" A voice suddenly sounded, and everyone was stunned.

Looking back, it was a few people who suddenly stood up in the ranks of the pro-soldiers, and as soon as the leader raised his hand, hundreds of people suddenly poured out of the crowd of soldiers above and below Wanghai Tower, each with a knife and a gun, and pressed up step by step, surrounding Mo Gao and a group of Da Songwei officers.

Mo Gao's heart suddenly turned cold, and he pointed to the personal soldiers led by him, "Huo Wu, you are a house slave in my mansion, and you have been in the mansion for several years, have this official ever treated you badly?" What are you doing today? ”

The personal soldier named Huo Wu smiled and arched his hand at Mo Gao, "So that the adults can know that Huo Wu is in the military camp, which has another purpose, if Lord Zhu does not arrive in Shandong, Huo Wu should be loyal to the adults, and he will not dare to change in this life." It's only to blame the adults for making a decision too late, and they will be killed! ”

As soon as Huo Wu finished speaking, he waved a knife and cut off his left arm, Mo Gao was stunned for a moment, his eyes were full of hideous blood.

"The villain repays the adult for his care over the past few years with one arm, and he will not owe it again!" Huo Wu trembled his lips and said this sentence, and immediately fainted, someone had already helped him down, and the rest of the soldiers did not hesitate, waving the blades in their hands and slashing over.

The ships on the sea had already lowered their sampans, and the sailors and soldiers of the navy came ashore silently. And the Wanghai Tower, the coastal city wall, and the fort have long been in chaos.

……

It took a whole hour for Yin Shigang and Cao Wushu to finish telling the story of these changes that happened in Dengzhou Siwei. There is also a wooden box on the table, which Zhu Ping'an has just inspected, and it is Cai Liansheng's head.

He really didn't go far, and hid in Ye County, on the border between the two states of Denglai. It seems that he wants to plot in the middle, and when the four guards launch a mutiny, he will come out to clean up the mess. It's a pity that Cai Liansheng will never be able to wait for that day, on the third day he arrived in Ye County, that is, on the night when Xu Qimanmen was slaughtered, he was also taken off by Cao Wuxian, who followed closely behind.

Zhu Ping'an's fingers tapped rhythmically on the tabletop. In my mind, I kept thinking about this Guo Chai.

This is really an interesting person, what he did was not untargeted, it should be intentional by Wang Chengen behind him.

Jinghaiwei Lin Deyuan's selfishness was dug up by him; Cheng Shanwei commanded the mansion overnight, and the chickens and dogs were not left; Da Songwei commanded Mo Gao to be killed by "rebels" in Wanghai Tower; Weihaiwei did not cause any big chaos at all, and the whereabouts of the remaining commanders, commanders, and thousands of households were unknown at the same time. The people and horses from all walks of life sent by himself actually controlled the four guards of Dengzhou without much effort, and with the food and salary that had been prepared for a long time, the four guards were all in their hands overnight.

Although this Wang Chengen is dedicated to the king's affairs, the strength hidden under the water is a little too terrifying. If one day, he had some different thoughts, would he ......?

Cao Wuxian finished eating a plate of pastries on the table with cold water, swept away the fatigue of galloping hundreds of miles overnight, and said vaguely: "Young master, Guo Chai's methods are too powerful, once he has a different heart, it will inevitably be a problem for his henchmen, I think it's better to strike first!" As he spoke, his mouth kept squirting out of the powder of the pastry, but his right hand made a vicious gesture of chopping.

Yin Shigang is equally worried. Like Cao Wuxian, he didn't know who Guo Chai was behind him, but Guo Chai's strength in this operation to subdue the four guards really surprised him. As Zhu Ping'an's confidant and strategist, he felt that he needed to remind Zhu Ping'an that Guo Chai's role in this operation was far more than the identity of the Jinyi guard he carried. What is the weight of the Jinyi Wei in the Chongzhen period, everyone knows it, and no one will believe that a small hundred households can do this.

But Zhu Ping'an was hesitant, Guo Chai took the initiative to ask Ying, he must have already known what kind of thoughts he would have after this battle, then his expression at that time was worth scrutinizing, what was he doing it for, why did Wang Chengen arrange it like this?

The guards reported that Guo chased back to the yamen, in addition to himself, he also brought a person, an old man in his fifties, who looked like a businessman, and the two did not enter through the main entrance, but quietly came in through the side door and were waiting in the study.

Zhu Ping'an let out a sigh of relief, stood up and moved his hands and feet, "Now that Guo Chai has come back, there must be something to say, let's go and listen and make plans!" ”

When Zhu Ping'an walked into the study, Guo Chai and an old man were already waiting respectfully in the room, Zhu Ping'an subconsciously looked at the old man, who was fat, wearing a cyan cardigan, and a thick beard, nearly half of which had been dyed with frost. The two eyes stared at Zhu Ping'an for a long time without blinking, and seemed to let out a sigh, and then the eyes were a little red, so it was a suspicion of being a little rude.

After the two of them saw each other, Zhu Ping'an sat down, and Yin Shigang and Cao Wuxian looked at Guo Chai and the two of them with suspicion.

Guo Chai didn't say much, he took a wooden box from the old man's hand and handed it to Zhu Ping'an with both hands. "The villain was ordered by the prince to deng state, and when he arrived in Dedeng Prefecture, he would dedicate this to the adults when he had the right opportunity!" (To be continued......)
