Chapter Eighty-Four: Internal Rebellion

PS: It's really on the shelves, ask for the first order, ask for a monthly pass

There was really a problem in Jiangxi, and Li Yunzhong asked in an astringent voice: "Who surrendered to the enemy and became a traitor?" I asked myself if I was not thin on them, this Luo outline has repeatedly made military exploits, and he has saved my life in Guangxi, and now he is also the post of army commander, they defected to the Han halfway, I entrusted me with a heavy responsibility, and I was in a high position, why do they still do this? ”

Li Yun Center had already decided that Jiao Liang had a problem, and after thinking about it for the past few days, he still didn't want to believe that Zeng Shuiyuan would rebel.

Zhao Laoqi confirmed Li Yunzhong's conjecture and replied: "Please Your Highness return to Nanjing immediately, Weichen guesses that there is a problem with Jiao Liang, the governor of Jiangxi, and Jiao Jing, the guard of Jingdezhen, killed His Highness's messenger Wangcheng, and the minister also escaped by relying on the protection of the Tang instructor, maybe they have sent troops to murder His Highness, please Your Highness put safety first, and put the tens of millions of people of the Han Dynasty first." ”

Wang Cheng was killed? Li Yunzhong thought of that eighteen or nineteen-year-old handsome young man Wang Cheng, but he didn't expect that sending him to Jingdezhen would harm him, and he didn't die at the hands of the enemy, but was killed by his own people.

Closing his eyes in pain, Li Yunzhong asked, "Where is Jiao Liang now?" Is Zeng Shuiyuan still with him? ”

Zhao Laoqi calmed down his chaotic thoughts, recalled the information sent by the person in charge of Jiangxi intelligence recently, and replied directly: "Last month, the Guangdong Tiandihui failed to cause an incident, and the rest of the Zhou Peichun and Ge Yaoming led more than 30,000 people into Ji'an Mansion, Jiangxi, and were absorbed by Jiao Liang, the governor of Jiangxi, and one of them was handed over to Commander Jiao Jing, and later moved to Jingdezhen. ”

Tens of thousands of people have been recruited! Li Yunzhong glared at Zhao Laoqi angrily and asked: "Why didn't I receive the slightest news, Jiao Liang is really bold!" Privately absorb and expand the army. Conceal it and don't report it, your intelligence department hasn't received any information! Or dereliction of duty. Treat the affairs of the military state as child's play! ”

Zhao Laoqi was so frightened that he could only admit his mistake: "Weichen knows his mistake." There are many people in the Jiangxi Intelligence Bureau who have been bribed and betrayed, and the suspicious thing is that Jiao Liang first captured Yujiang County and Dongxiang County, and then defeated the Qing army reinforcements in Qili Township, and is marching to Nanchang with all his might, Zeng Shuiyuan has also captured Fuzhou Mansion and Jianchang Mansion, and only Nanchang Mansion, Yuanzhou Mansion, Linjiang Mansion, and Ruizhou Mansion have not been conquered in the whole territory of Jiangxi. But the Qing army still threw away its armor and abandoned it. ”

Li Yunzhong remembered the whereabouts of Zeng Guofan's Hunan army and asked, "Has Jiao Liang been at war with the Hunan army?" ”

Zhao Laoqi said: "Jiujiang guard Lin Qirong defeated Hu Linyi's department, Hu Linyi asked Zeng Guofan for help, and Zeng Guofan has moved to Hukou. ”

"Who is the Lakemouth Guard?" Li Yunzhong was worried that Jiujiang would be fired.

"The Hukou guard is a regiment leader named Cheng Xueqi, who was newly recruited last year. was appreciated by Li Desheng and Lin Qirong, and was promoted to the head of the regiment all the way. Zhao Laoqi was a little envious of this person named Cheng Xueqi, who followed the King of Han from Guangxi to Nanjing, and was rewarded as the head of the regiment.

Li Yunzhong was relieved, Lin Qirong was a general he admired. Since he trusts Cheng Xueqi, it must make sense: "So the matter of Jiao Liang's defection to the enemy still needs to be investigated, Jiao Jing's defection to the enemy is undoubted, and someone will send an order to go down and close the four gates." From now on, no one will be allowed to enter or leave. ”

Zhao Laoqi hurriedly said: "Your Highness thinks twice, it's still too late to leave, and wait for His Highness to return to Nanjing." It only takes one will to deal with these rebellions, so why risk it? ”

Hu Mengjun also heard it on the side. He didn't believe that the 'Jiao Tianwang', who turned Jiangxi upside down, wanted to surrender to the Qing army. whispered to Li Yun: "Your Highness, the minister has a different opinion!" ”

Li Yunzhong said: "Let's listen to it!" ”

"Since Jiao Liang invaded Jiangxi last year, he first captured Jingdezhen, besieged Nanchang City, and then successively captured Ji'an Mansion, Nan'an Mansion, and Ganzhou Mansion. Moreover, the situation in Jiangxi could not be clearer, the Qing army was still alive in the Nanchang area, and as long as His Royal Highness gave an order, Jiangxi could be recovered. ”

Zhao Laoqi dared to take a risk when he saw Hu Mengjun as a newly attached person, and said: "The body of the king of Han's daughter, how can you put the king of Han in danger based on your guesses." ”

was provoked by Zhao Laoqi, Hu Mengjun's brute strength also surged, and retorted: "His Royal Highness left Jiangxi like this, Jiao Liang must be panicked, and if there is a villain temptation, maybe he really goes to Qingqing, and the good situation in Jiangxi will not be lost in one day!" ”

Li Yunzhong waved his hand to stop the quarrel between the two of them, and said loudly: "I have made up my mind, just wait for the rebels in Panyang, Zhao Laoqi, you go out of the city to Jianchang Mansion to find Zeng Shuiyuan, and let him send troops to rescue." ”

Zhao Laoqi still felt that this method was a bit risky, and retorted: "Your Highness has a long way to Jianchang, and it will take at least five days to come and go, in case Jiao Liang really rebels, it won't work if Commander Zeng comes!" ”

Hu Mengjun said: "The minister is willing to investigate the Jiaodu overseer's army, if Jiao Dudu is really rebellious, the minister has nothing to say, only one death, His Highness breaks through the siege and leaves, if Jiao Dudu does not rebel, the minister asks him to lead the army to disperse the rebels, what does His Highness think?" ”

With the experience of Wang Cheng, Li Yunzhong didn't want Hu Mengjun to take risks, so he hesitated for a while.

Zhao Laoqi argued: "With Tang Liang to protect His Highness, the minister will rest assured, or let Weichen go to Jiao Liang's camp to investigate, I am His Highness's confidant, even if Jiao Liang really rebelled, he would not dare to blatantly murder me, Panyang is less than a hundred miles away from Jiao Liang's camp, and it will be there in one day by boat, even if the rebels besiege the city, the minister can return in time." ”

Li Yunzhong asked: "Why did you go to Jingdezhen, and how did you find out that Jiao Jing had rebelled?" You saw the murder of the royal city with your own eyes? You can talk about these questions slowly, and maybe you can confirm whether Jiao Liang has any objections. ”

Some of these questions are clear to Zhao Laoqi, and some are vague, so he can only point to Tang Liang and say: "These Tang instructors know more than the ministers, and the ministers were also rescued by the Tang instructors, but Jiao Jing suddenly wanted to kill Weichen, and there is no evidence for the others." ”

Tang Liang replied: "At that time, not long after His Royal Highness left, Lord Zhao received a secret guarantee from Jiangxi, which said that many of the reported secrets had been intercepted and not sent out of Jiangxi, and the personnel responsible for transmitting intelligence had committed suicide by taking poison. Lord Zhao knew that His Royal Highness was going to make a detour to Jiangxi, and he was very anxious, afraid that His Highness would be ...... by the villain Deception, I didn't have time to think about it and chased the last general along the way, and the last general thought that His Royal Highness would enter Jingdezhen, so he entered Jingdezhen. ”

Li Yunzhong recalled the situation at that time, and secretly said that it was dangerous, but fortunately he did not enter Jingdezhen at the beginning, although there were a thousand guards around him at that time, if Jiao Jing really wanted to murder him, he would poison the food casually, and he would not be killed.
