Xu Yiyang is a child, although he is in charge of military affairs in Nanjing City, but the young man's temperament, flying eagles and lackeys on weekdays is also a common thing.
"Xu Envoy" Chen Youlong pulled him all the way into the big tent, and arched his hand: "Nanjing and my party, thank you Xu Envoy"
"Thank you for what I did" Xu Yiyang leaned back in his chair, his face was sad, and said: "It seems that I am really destined for Huguang, and the general has sent me a new errand." ”
Chen Youlong understood that Xu Yiyang already knew the content of the military discussion, which showed that King Jin did not have ordinary trust in the young man in front of him.
Xu Yiyang was able to get today's status precisely because of his cousin in Changsha Mansion. He did a good job in the previous thing, and Zhai Zhe was relieved to hand over the matter of supervising the army to him again.
Seeing that Chen Youlong didn't answer, Xu Yiyang said with a straight face: "Mr. Chen, I am a single person in Changsha, but I can only rely on you."
Chen Youlong said: "Xu Envoy's words are serious, Xu Envoy has orders, and the last general will not dare to disobey" He had already heard the meaning of Xu Yiyang's words, and knew that he had no way out. He saw that the general soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were full of talents, and he thought of the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses under the cities of Jingzhou and Xiangyang, and knew that Hunan could only act according to the orders of the imperial court.
Xu Yiyang's face was solemn, and he lowered his voice and said: "The general has a secret order to remove Liu Chengyin from the post of Changsha General Army, if you don't obey, you will be killed."
Chen Youlong hesitated for a moment and said, "He will definitely not follow."
"That's self-defeating" Xu Yiyang gently tapped the chair with his right hand and said: "Liu Chengyin is very vigilant now, he almost does not go out of the barracks, and Changsha City is garrisoned by his soldiers and horses." It is true that things are not good to get rid of him without allowing chaos in the army."
Chen Youlong asked, "Can you ask Lord Block for help?" ”
Xu Yiyang twitched at the corner of his mouth and said, "Do you think he will help?" "Liu Chengyin is not at fault, he has always respected Plug Yinxi, and after knowing this matter with Plug Yinxi's temperament, he will definitely defend him like the court. Once the news leaks, Changsha will be reversed, and the consequences will be unimaginable
He understood the mind of the King of Jin, and after cleaning up Liu Chengyin, Hunan was really under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, and the Ming Dynasty could use this as a ladder to restore the rule of the southwest.
"Do you want to hide it from the adult?" Chen Youlong only then did he show the severity of the matter. The prestige of Plug Yinxi in Hunan is unmatched.
Xu Yiyang rubbed his head, seemed to be very irritable, and said: "These days, if Liu Chengyin dares to enter your barracks, you will take him down immediately, and I will take care of anything." ”
Chen Youlong nodded.
"And yourself, don't go in and out of Changsha City at will, and don't go to Liu Chengyin's camp"
After Xu Yiyang said this, he said goodbye and left.
Chen Youlong just appeared, the appearance of Changsha Mansion was normal, but in fact, the atmosphere was already very tense.
After half a month, Changsha City is indeed different.
Because, Liu Chengyin is going crazy.
From his refusal to go to Nanjing, from the imperial court's methods against Zhang Xinzheng's family, he had a hunch that his shape might not be good. If Chen Youlong has the same heart as him and refuses to go to Nanjing, things may take a turn for the better. But the imperial court secretly gave Chen Youlong a means, and people went to high places and the water flowed to low places, and he was helpless.
Liu Chengyin was not reluctant to go to Nanjing, but he didn't dare.
Because, the two assassins who went from Hunan to Nanjing at the beginning of the year were the ones he helped He Tengjiao find.
At the beginning, the king of Jin was generous, and the handling of the assassination case was like tickling with a feather, and He Tengjiao's family escaped the catastrophe. After the two assassins were beheaded on the street, his heart gradually faded into oblivion. But after June, the temperament of the King of Jin changed greatly, Zhang Xinzheng's family was beheaded by the Xiangshui, he was frightened, and after receiving the order of the imperial court, he felt empty.
Changsha General Military Office.
A knight dressed in a dark robe dismounted in front of the door and hurried into the palace.
The soldiers walked quickly into the inner mansion and said, "My lord, Liu Zheng is back"
Liu Chengyin seemed to grasp a life-saving straw and ordered: "Let him come in quickly"
Liu Zheng was the knight who had just dismounted, his head was wet with sweat, and wisps were sticking to his skin along his ears
"My lord" He saluted after seeing Liu Chengyin, and there was no joy on his face.
Liu Chengyin waved his hand and ordered a few pro-soldiers to withdraw, and couldn't wait to ask: "What did King Yanping say?" ”
Liu Zheng's throat stirred, and he said: "King Yanping said that if the lord raises troops, he is willing to provide the lord with military pay and firearms
"If I take the land of Hunan to submit to him, won't he dare to ask for it?" Liu Chengyin was disappointed.
Liu Zheng continued: "The king of Yanping said that his son Zheng Sen is still a proton in Nanjing, and if the lord rises a few years later, he is willing to echo"
"It's a pity, it's a pity" Liu Chengyin smiled bitterly. Zheng Zhilong said that these are all excuses, how can there be no one who wants only a son in the world. The Zheng clan's power was no less than Zhai Zhe, but now it has been suppressed.
After Chen Youlong left Changsha, he sent envoys to Guangdong and Yunnan and Guizhou one after another, hoping to find allies to resist the imperial court. However, the timing he chose was too bad, Wu Sangui returned to the Ming Dynasty anyway, and the imperial court captured Xiangyang, who dared to kill himself at this time?
Liu is a close confidant of his family, shrewd and capable, his expression was gloomy, and he asked, "Is Chen Youlong back?" ”
Liu Chengyin said: "I'm back, I've been nesting in the barracks and not coming out, it seems that he has been guarding against me for a long time."
Liu Zheng offered advice: "If you take the initiative to go to the court to ask for guilt, I don't know if you can ask for forgiveness?" He didn't know about the two assassins, and after walking around Guangdong and Guangxi, he thought that Liu Chengyin's petition was the only choice
"Even the Great West Thief rejected me, is King Jin really so terrible?" Liu Chengyin was unhappy. He wanted to divide Hunan, but he had to find a backer, but unfortunately Hunan was not in Jiangbei, thousands of miles away from the Qing court.
Thinking of the end, he was ruthless, and said: "I have 40,000 soldiers in Changsha, and 20,000 soldiers, if the court raises troops to fight, I will fight with him, I am cautious in Changsha City, that Xu Yiyang only has 500 people, who has what I can do He said in his mouth, but he didn't dare to despise Xu Yiyang at all."
Liu Zheng worked hard all the way and retired and left.
There were more than 40,000 soldiers in Changsha, He Tengjiao left 30,000 people when he went on an expedition to Jingzhou, and Liu Chengyin brought 15,000 people when he was transferred to Changsha as the general army. However, it turned out that those 30,000 people couldn't even look down on Governor He at the beginning, which was really embarrassing. But he still has a lot of old troops in Wugang.
Changsha City ushered in the sunrise and sent away the sunset under such an almost suffocating shape.
Du Yinxi was busy assisting the household department in collecting the two taxes, and at the same time had a premonition that the shape was not good, so he stayed in Changsha and did not dare to leave. The Governor's Mansion even issued several orders to summon Liu Chengyin and Chen Youlong into the city to discuss matters, but both of them said that they were ill.
And so it came to a stalemate.
Until an unexpected birth.
In late September, the autumn breeze cools down.
The orange oranges produced in Orange Island are piled up on the streets of Changsha.
A man dressed in the clothes of ordinary people broke into the residence of the tax collector at the foot of Yuelu Mountain and called for a visit to Lord Qincha.
Zhang Erwu led him into the mansion, and as soon as the man saw Xu Yiyang, he immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Tell your lordship, something is wrong, Mr. Chen ordered me to ask for help."
Xu Yiyang has been active in Changsha these days, but Liu Chengyin has been shrinking in a turtle shell and not giving him the slightest opportunity. Hearing the person's anxious expression, he scolded: "What the hell, tell me slowly"
The man said: "The Changsha soldiers robbed our supplies"
"What" Xu Yiyang was furious. But he didn't rush to make a decision, and asked, "You tell me the cause and effect."
That man was not good at words, and it took a cup of tea to make Xu Yiyang understand the reason.
It turned out that Chen Youlong actually ordered Wugang Town to send winter clothes to the soldiers, which completely angered Liu Chengyin and sent troops to hijack all the convoys that came from Wugang.
It's not just Xu Yiyang who is anxious in his heart, but the string in Liu Chengyin's heart has also been on the verge of collapse
Xu Yiyang first looked angry, and then his face, which had been sad these days, seemed to have been swept away by the autumn wind
"Who dares to lead troops to do such a thing?"
"Dongying will be in Zhengwang."
Xu Yiyang grabbed the man's shoulder, pulled him up, and said, "You go to the Governor's Mansion to avenge Lord Du's grievances."
The man hesitated for a moment, saw that Xu Yiyang didn't seem to be joking, and turned to leave.
Xu Yiyang immediately turned around and ordered Zhang Erwu, "Find your brother to order soldiers and horses, and follow me to Dongying."
Zhang Erwu was taken aback and admonished: "We only have five hundred people."
"What are you afraid of" Xu Yiyang puffed his chest, "I'll go with Dawu, and you stay here"
"My lord" Zhang Erwu was anxious and said: "I'm not afraid of things, you can't leave me"
"Who said they were going to leave you" Xu Yiyang put his hands behind his back and said: "The situation in Changsha has been stalemate for a month without progress, and I have been looking for opportunities, but I am afraid that I will not be able to break the situation for a year if I continue like this, and it will not work if I don't take risks."
"Adult" Zhang Erwu still wants to persuade again.
Xu Yiyang raised his hand to signal him not to say much, and said: "The general doesn't want to raise troops, otherwise ten Liu Chengyin will also die, and after I lead the army for a quarter of an hour, you go to the Governor's Mansion to find the Lord Du, and you must deceive him to Dongying."
Zhang Erwu raised his face and said with a smile: "It turns out that adults have a clever plan"
Xu Yiyang lowered his face again, and said: "What kind of trick do I have, if you don't invite the adults to block, I'm afraid that I will let Liu Chengyin step on a few feet with this face today."
He is a chincha, but he is only a young and weak chincha, so it is not a big deal to lose face.
Hunan's thick ice is waiting to be broken, and Hubei is already in full swing.
The restructuring of the Jingzhou Army in Jiangbei was in full swing, and Yao Qisheng, the governor of Huguang, personally accompanied the military envoys of the military department to assist in the diversion of the loyal battalions, and strongly advocated the placement of the loyal battalions that had been eliminated from the regular army in the prefectures of Huguang and Jiangbei, Anqing and Jiujiang.
Li Guo and Gao Yigong had close contacts with the imperial court, and those who were affected were all side soldiers and horses, Liu Tichun, Hao Shaoqi and others were not convinced, and some people wanted to lead their troops to return to Kuidong, but now Sichuan is also the territory of the Ming Dynasty. The soldiers of the loyal battalion were driven away like lost dogs for more than ten years, and finally settled down in Jingzhou, and there were not many responders.
Li Guo and Gao Yigong invited Mrs. Gao to speak, Yao Qisheng gave both grace and might, and the various ministries were in a fierce game.
