Chapter 795: Confidence After Shock
There is no doubt that Wei Zheng decided to give Zhou Shuyuan another chance......
However, what Wei Zheng didn't expect was that his letter not only did not make Zhou Shuyuan repent, but further accelerated the speed of Zhou Shuyuan's rebellion and self-reliance......
In the lobby of the Ganning Governor's Mansion, the three division commanders who were completely loyal to Zhou Shuyuan were lowering their heads and accepting Zhou Shuyuan's reprimand without saying a word.
Because, just two hours ago, I received a private message from Beijing City and from Wei Zheng......
In the private letter, he clearly wrote about how he established an independent kingdom step by step after becoming the governor of Ganning.
Of course, at the end of the letter, Wei Zheng also said that as long as he immediately stopped these actions and returned to Beijing to report on his work, Wei Zheng would no longer be held accountable for what he had done in Gansu and Ningbo provinces.
And once he does not repent, he will not return to Beijing...... Then, what awaits you will be an interruption of a qiē ration supply......
Zhou Shuyuan, whose heart has been completely shrouded in rights and **, how can it be so easy to let go of the rights that he has already obtained.
Therefore, as soon as he received the letter, Zhou Shuyuan called the three division commanders and wanted to ask them how his actions in the two provinces of Gansu and Ningbo reached Beijing when all roads to Beijing City were completely blocked......
Could it be that the more than 20,000 elites they commanded in their hands are all a group of pigs...... With so many people, even a small province of Gansu and Ningbo can't be blocked......
However, to Zhou Shuyuan's disappointment, their answer was still silent except for silence......
You must know that these three subordinates in front of you are not only your confidants, but also fight for yourself in the future. Protect your own warriors. It is the hope of my future......
And the table of these three people in front of him. In addition to making Zhou Shuyuan feel disappointed, it also made Zhou Shuyuan angry......
Yes, it's anger, anger at the inaction of these subordinates......
Just when the anger in Zhou Shuyuan's heart was rising, the confidant and teacher who had followed him from the beginning finally spoke......
Facing Zhou Shuyuan, he replied as calmly as possible: "Governor, if the last general's expectation is good, these news must be spread by the internal guards in the army......
"Look at the two provinces of Gansu and Ningbo and the entire Fifth Army. In other words, the internal guard has its own intelligence system, and it can pass on the news without going through our strict official channels......
"Internal Guard, Luo Yang ......" At this time, Zhou Shuyuan suddenly remembered that in the entire Tiger and Leopard Army, there is also an internal guard that Wei Zheng does not allow anyone to interfere with, which is equivalent to the department of the imperial court's brocade guard......
Thinking of this, the anger on Zhou Shuyuan's face was immediately covered with gloom. He said to himself in a cold tone: "Neiwei, it seems now." From the beginning, we underestimated its capabilities......"
After speaking, Zhou Shuyuan's pair of sharp eyes that could almost penetrate people's hearts shifted to his confidant teacher. Then, with a murderous face, he asked: "Is there a way to find out all the details that the internal guards have planted in our midst...... As long as these people are in Gansu and Ningbo provinces for one day, we don't have any secrets for the city of Beijing......"
Regarding this question, the confidant did not let Zhou Shuyuan wait too long, so he shook his head in denial very affirmatively......
"Please condemn the governor, the last general is not yet able to ......"
"The matter of the internal guard being installed in the army is only a rumor among the senior officers of the army, and there is no trace of it...... Governor, you just give the last general more time, and the last general can't find them out based on some rumors......"
"You must know that the commander of the internal guard is the former commander of the Jinyi guard of the imperial court, if he is not capable, the prince will not attach so much importance to him, and directly let him form and be responsible for the internal guard ......"
"That's it, since they can't find out, let them continue to stay in Ganning and Ningbo provinces......" Zhou Shuyuan replied helplessly.
After finishing, he directly took out the secret letter that Wei Zheng gave him, and said, "Look at it, the prince has given me an ultimatum...... What do you think, what should I do, do I really want to give up the two provinces of Gansu and Ningxia, give up the Fifth Army, and return to the capital to live for the rest of my life......"
There is no doubt that several division commanders were frightened by the contents of the secret letter.
In particular, the sentence of interrupting the supply of food and salary directly reminded them of the scene of the Fifth Army falling apart in an instant after losing its food supply......
At this moment, from the bottom of their hearts, they very much hope that Zhou Shuyuan will return to the capital.
Although they are Zhou Shuyuan's henchmen, it is with Zhou Shuyuan that they will have such a high position today.
However, they are also a high-ranking officer who is very familiar with the military regulations and discipline of the Haw Par Army......
In their opinion, as long as Zhou Shuyuan refused, they would be declared rebels by the prince. When the time comes, the Fifth Army will not only not receive any food and supplies, but it may also be besieged by its former colleagues......
With their understanding of the combat effectiveness of the Haw Par Army, they will definitely not be able to escape the siege from the main force of the Haw Par Army if they lose food and supplies. Not only that, even if they die, they will have to carry the name of a rebel and smear their families......
Therefore, they hoped from the bottom of their hearts that Zhou Shuyuan could agree. With a pair of eyes full of hope and expectation, they looked at Zhou Shuyuan, waiting for Zhou Shuyuan to give them an answer......"
However, they were disappointed that Zhou Shuyuan not only did not agree, but also refused very firmly.
Facing the three division commanders, he said fearlessly: "Since he Wei Zheng already knows, it proves that time is running out for us......"
"We must ask to act in advance, only in this way can we divert the attention of Wei Zheng......"
"As long as a battle breaks out between us and the new army of the imperial court, the prince will temporarily put aside his suspicion of me and do his best to support me in defeating the new army of the imperial court......"
"And I, while the two sides are fighting, can continue to ask the prince for supplies and equipment, and hoard the extra supplies and equipment in case of accidents......"
"As long as we can stock up on enough food and equipment, we can no longer care about what the prince has for us
Threats and grievances...... Do what you have to do! “
"The only regret is that we have limited time, and we can't make such a thorough battle plan in such a short time. So, we're now chasing ducks to the shelves......"
"Of course, there is also something that we are glad about, that is, the help of the imperial court...... The next battle, although it was fierce, was all fake, and it was a big show between himself and the court......
And the officers and men under his command can further expand the army under the cover of this big drama and increase the ability of Gansu and Ningbo provinces to protect themselves...... (To be continued......)
