(New books for collections, recommended votes, please, please!) Your attention is the motivation for my writing, thank you! )
"Check, of course, to the end. But you have to take your time, and you can't startle the snake. Before Jiang Dehong could be put to death, he had to be made to vomit out what he knew. It seems that my previous worries were right, there are still a lot of problems in our army, and in just three months, a big tiger has been pulled out, and maybe there are others. Even if there is no problem with the generals at the top, who dares to guarantee that there will be no at the middle and lower levels? Geng Jingzhong squinted his eyes from time to time, obviously killing him.
"In the future, such a thing must not be tolerated. If officers at or above the rank of colonel find out that there is a problem, they will report it to me, and I will deal with them personally. Officers of the rank of lieutenant and below, at your disposal! Those who have committed other military discipline shall be sent to the military justice department for trial. As long as they betray us, they will be killed! ”
"Yes! So let's act as if nothing happened now, and keep an eye on everyone. I think so, the prince of the world, the recruits recruited from the north are about to arrive, so it is better to send Jiang Dehong to Nanri Island to be responsible for training the recruits. In this way, he has been cut off from the outside world, and we have ample opportunity to concoct him. If he is allowed to stay in the horsetail, even if he wants to arrest him, it will be more difficult, after all, he still has the power of the army in his hands! Li Guangdi said.
Geng Jingzhong nodded at Li Guang in agreement. "You're right, we can't afford to lose now, we can't make a mess. I named this internal inspection team boning knives, and I already thought of today's results. If the boil is not squeezed, the pus will never come out. That's fine. These instability factors are missing. We can also develop better. There was a pause. Geng Jingzhong continued to Li Guangdi: "The next thing is up to Brother Li, and Brother Li is solely responsible for how to arrange it." I'm going to see my father, and I need to tell him about it!" ”
"Okay, then let Jiang Dehong live for a few more days, the following arrangements don't need to worry about you, I will let him die so that no one can see the abnormality!" A sneer appeared on the corner of Li Guangdi's mouth, and he said confidently
After Geng Jingzhong and Li Guangdi finished discussing the matter, it was already completely dark. Li Guangdi did not stay in the palace to eat. Pegasus quickly drove back to the ponytail and prepared to go. Geng Jingzhong's mood is also very heavy, Jiang Dehong can be said to be one of the first people to follow the Geng family, and he has won Geng Jimao's trust. At first, Jiang Dehong was the bodyguard of Geng Jingzhong's grandfather, Geng Zhongming, and was later assigned to Geng Jimao's side. He is only a few years younger than Geng Jimao, but his body bones are much better than Geng Jimao. People in their fifties are exactly like they are in their forties. In contrast, Geng Jimao was 108,000 miles away, and he didn't use crutches before, so it was a problem to walk.
But Jiang Dehong was pulled up by Geng Jimao after all. Even Geng Jimao didn't know that Jiang Dehong had already secretly become a member of the imperial court, and now he was going to be executed. I have to report it to Geng Jimao to know. At this time, everyone in the palace had already finished eating, and Geng Jimao also returned to his room. When Geng Jingzhong was in the study, no one came to ask him to eat, this was his own rule. As long as he is in the study, no one is to disturb him. In fact, his study is usually not allowed to enter or leave, and there are indeed a lot of secrets in it.
Geng Jingzhong didn't bother to eat, but walked directly to Geng Jimao's residence. At night, the ancients generally did not have any entertainment, and Geng Jimao was reading the newspaper in the room at this moment. This newspaper is the latest edition, and at the moment he is carefully looking at the fourth page, and the serialized novels on it are not only deeply attractive to ordinary people, but also to him. He reads these novels, and when he plays with his little grandson during the day, he can tell them to his little grandson. That's his greatest pleasure too!
"Father, have you slept? My son has something to discuss with you! Geng Jingzhong stood at the door and shouted.
Geng Jingzhong's mother personally ran over to open them. "Why haven't you slept yet, it's not early! By the way, did you have dinner? In the evening, you stayed in the study and didn't come out! ”
"Thank you for your concern, the child will eat in a while. However, the child still has important matters to discuss with his father, so he comes directly! Geng Jingzhong smiled and said to his mother.
"Oh, then, then you father and son can talk, and I'll go talk to your daughter-in-law!" After saying that, he put on a piece of clothing and went out. The princess is also an understanding person, and immediately knew that they were going to discuss important matters, and of course they would not stay here to get in the way. This time was still early, and the maid in the wing room next to her had not slept at all, and when she heard the movement, she immediately came to the door to wait, and when she saw the princess come out, she immediately stepped forward to support her and walked forward. Another maid came in, poured hot water into the teapot on the table, poured it into the cup, and immediately withdrew as well.
"Tell me, it's so late, and you came to me in a hurry, what's wrong?" Geng Jimao's face did not change at all, and he asked slowly. This qi cultivation kung fu is still in place.
Geng Jingzhong did not speak immediately, but took out the piece of paper that Li Guangdi brought from his sleeve, handed it to Geng Jimao and said, "Father, please see!" ”
Geng Jimao took the note, opened it, and immediately raised his eyebrows and said, "There is a traitor in the army?" ”
"My father's eyes are like torches, and I understand it at once." Geng Jingzhong really admires his father, although this father has not done good things before, but he is indeed very capable. Born in the former Ming Border Army, he can be regarded as a soldier who grew up on horseback, and has rich experience in a hundred battles. The things written on this note, except for the first and subsequent things, Geng Jingzhong didn't tell Geng Jimao, but Geng Jimao still understood everything at once.
"Yes! The child is ready to take Luzon in the middle of next year. Therefore, they sent people to the north to recruit tens of thousands of young men in the name of recruiting workers, and then sent them to the island for training. All of these people come from poor families or people who have been displaced by the disaster. With the conditions in our army and the preferential treatment of military families, it is estimated that few children will not join us. And the child sent someone to Guangdong and went to find Shang Zhixin for the matter of shipbuilding timber. Some time ago, Kangxi's edict was already warning us, and the children didn't dare to be careless, so they moved the shipyard to the island and then blocked the island. ”
"Now that the dock of the new shipyard has been almost completed, as long as the timber from Guangdong arrives, the shipyard can start at any time. By next year, we will have two or three more detachments, and we will be more sure of taking Luzon. But it is such an important information, there are traitors in the army, and the information must be passed on to Kangxi. In that case, we will probably have to go into exile in the future! ”
"It seems that this person's status is not low, otherwise he wouldn't have gotten such important information, let's say, who is it? Is it your newly promoted Admiral, or is it your old brother who used to follow me? Geng Jimao stared straight at Geng Jingzhong and asked. In fact, he was also afraid that he was an old brother, after all, it was too sad.
"It's Jiang Dehong!" Geng Jingzhong said expressionlessly.
For a long time, neither of them spoke. Geng Jimao did not ask him how he got the secret letter, nor did he express his opinion. I kept thinking about what the hell was going on! Jiang Dehong can be said to be a general who was supported by Geng Jimao, and he has followed him in dozens of battles, large and small, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he has deep feelings. But such a cronie can betray his Geng family, which is really a little incomprehensible.
"Father!" It was Geng Jingzhong who broke the silence first. "All along, the child is walking on thin ice, so the child has an extra mind. Let Li Guangdi secretly organize people to set up an internal monitoring organization, named it Boning Knife! In order to eliminate the black sheep in our team, I didn't expect that after only a few months of establishment, such a big tiger hidden in the army was found. ”
"Are you sure it's him?" Geng Jimao asked slowly.
"Sure. It's the handwriting on it, and it's also from his handwriting, absolutely yes. Geng Jingzhong said affirmatively.
"Then send him on his way!" Geng Jimao closed his eyes and said faintly. "In the future, you can do what you have to do in this kind of thing, and you don't need to report it to me. Since I have given you my home, you have to prop it up for me. Anything that is not good for our family will be cleared, and I don't need to teach you this! Whoever wants to hurt our family, we will pay it back tenfold and hundredfold! Ahem, ahem, ahem! After speaking, Geng Jimao's voice was full of emotion, and he coughed excitedly.
As the saying goes, love is as deep as hatred. Jiang Dehong is Geng Jimao's cronies, and now he doesn't know why he betrayed the Geng family, of course Geng Jimao hates it to the root of his teeth. "Drink, Father! Don't be angry with people who don't deserve it, it's not worth it to be angry! ”
"Zhong'er, your burden is indeed very heavy! Jiang Dehong was single-handedly promoted by me, but I estimate that he should have been bought by the imperial court a long time ago, or he was a member of the imperial court from the beginning. In either case, it is very unoptimistic. Now that you've become an internal inspector, check it out for me. No matter who you find out, even your Uncle Ma and Uncle Zeng must not be merciful. ”
These two came with Geng Jimao, and they just had to bow down. Geng Jimao was able to say these words, which showed that he had really made up his mind. For those who are in danger to him and his family, no matter how close the relationship was before, he must be a killer, and he will not show mercy at all! When Geng Jingzhong heard this, he was completely relieved. In fact, even if Geng Jimao wanted not to kill Jiang Dehong, Geng Jingzhong would not listen, and he would never tolerate traitors.
