Governor Kyoying.

This is not an easy errand to do, Zhu Di has directly said just now, Luo Tong, the previous governor of Jingying, died at the hands of the group of Zhongshan wolves in Jingying.

How did Luo Tong die, Chen Mao could probably guess that everything in Beijing is not safe now.

Of course, Chen Mao didn't expect that these people would be so bold that even a hero of the Beijing Defense War would dare to kill them in a grand manner and then plant the blame!

The water in Jingshi is very deep, and the dragons and snakes are mixed, and sometimes you don't know how to die!

Chen Mao went to learn about the changes that Luo Tong had made in the past few days when he became the governor of Jingying, and two of them made his eyes shine, which was obviously the bane.

On the first day of his arrival, Luo Tong cleaned up military discipline, which was in line with his character and was not too problematic.

These alone will not provoke murder.

But then, Rotong's approach is very problematic.

He first took down Jiao Xin, the left post commander of the Fifth Army Camp, and replaced it with his people, and then it was the top priority, Luo Tong actually started to check the accounts directly.

Luo Tong was the first to do it, it shouldn't be the Fifth Military Camp.

Now in the Beijing camp, except for Fan Guang, who is deeply in charge of the Shenji Battalion, the other five military battalions and the three thousand battalions are already cronies of the Sun family.

Jiao Xin is the person arranged by the Sun family, that's for sure.

Jiao Xin has been the commander of the Fifth Army Battalion for nearly a year, and he has many cronies in the army, and Sun Xianzong, who is the commander of the Beijing Battalion, obviously will not swallow this breath.

Turning over old accounts and checking empty salaries is the practice of Luo Tong offending the entire Beijing camp.

This kind of thing is done from the beginning, and it is not surprising that Luo Tong will have an accident.

Two days ago, Luo Tong found out that the situation of empty salaries in Beijing was extremely serious, and after the change in Tumubao, the actual amount in Beijing was tens of thousands, but in fact only a few thousand people were registered.

These thousands of people also include a large number of old, weak, sick and disabled, and the real situation will only be less!

Luo Tong's approach was to offend the interests of all the old fritters in the entire Beijing camp, so they all gathered under Sun Xianzong's wing to seek protection.

The final result was that Luo Tong was directly killed, and everyone was happy.

Returning to the mansion, sitting and reading all this, especially the list of empty salaries in Beijing that Zhu Di ordered Wang Cheng to bring over afterwards, Chen Mao gasped.

Liu Ju also arrived in Ningyang Houfu at this time, and connected this series of events, and the whole person's face was not very good-looking.

He said: "Brother Chen, how are you going to go to Beijing to die for a lifetime?" ”

Chen Mao sighed.

"The only way to do this is to follow Your Majesty, these ** and military oil in the Beijing camp must be abolished, otherwise the Beijing camp will never be able to build it again."

"I, Chen Maozu, received the great favor of Emperor Taizongwen and was very favored, and I can't watch the Beijing camp built by his old man collapse like this."

"I'm in charge of the Beijing camp, Sun Xianzong will want to get rid of me quickly, but I don't think he may have this ability!"

"That's natural, Your Majesty won't treat you badly." Liu Ju drank all the wine on the table and said: "At that time, the capital was guarded, and my brother and I were ordered to guard Xizhimen. ”

"I will always remember that when everyone ridiculed and mocked me, it was His Majesty today who drove out of the city and saved me from fire and water!"

"At that time, I silently swore in my heart that I would not be the second master in this life except for Your Majesty!"

Chen Mao suddenly realized and said, "I see! ”

"Brother Liu, you once saved my life on the battlefield, not to mention, now that the Sun family's relatives are powering and oppressing the emperor's authority, how can my Chen ancestor be favored by Taizu and Taizong?"

"Brother, don't worry, I will not share the sky with the Sun family, and the Jingying is in my Chen Mao's hands, so it can only be loyal to His Majesty's army today."

Liu Ju was overjoyed: "Brother, is there a countermeasure?" ”

Chen Mao sneered: "Luo Tong has no cronies in Beijing, he is alone, and he doesn't do things thoroughly, I, Chen Mao, am not Luo Tong, my temperament brother, you know, if I don't make a move, it will be earth-shattering!" ”

"Look, in a few days, Sun Xianzong will be alone!"

Liu Ju has no doubt about this.

Chen Mao has experienced the Battle of Jingyan, the Five Expeditions to Mongolia, and the northwest of Jiuzhen for 20 years, and his reputation is far and wide outside the desert.

At that time, Deng Maoqi rebelled in Fujian, and everyone felt that they should wait for work and recuperate, but Chen Mao was furious and reprimanded everyone for this is a self-binding and death-bound strategy.

Subsequently, Chen Mao changed the battle strategy to an all-out attack, personally led the generals, braved arrows and stones, and finally put down the entire rebellion within half a year.

Now that he has a countermeasure, Liu Ju will not suspect anything.

......

That night, on the side of Jingying, Sun Xianzong was also gathering his cronies to discuss countermeasures.

This time he came not to be a new lord who only came to prominence after the Jingshi Defense War, but a ruthless character who made steady progress - Ningyang Hou Chen Mao.

The prestige of this person is often heard even by Sun Xianzong.

After nearly 30 years of battlefield, the Mongols were beaten to the north, and the south was able to save the chaos by himself and put down the rebellion within half a year.

Among the surviving nobles today, Chen Mao, who was the first to be crowned with the merit of appeasement, is the first person to be honored in terms of military exploits, qualifications and prestige.

Sun Xianzong felt a little panicked for the first time, because he knew that he was not Chen Mao's opponent, and he didn't know what Chen Mao's first move would be.

Even, what he is thinking about now is how to curry favor with Chen Mao, instead of being his enemy.

The surrounding cronies of the Beijing camp looked at Sun Xianzong, who was unconvinced by no one in the past, but now he is like this, and they all know that their eldest brother has completely messed up.

Just the name Chen Mao came over, and it made all of them feel like they were facing a great enemy, and they had their own thoughts.

"Uncle Guo, I don't think you should use the same method as Luo Tong to deal with Chen Mao, Chen Mao didn't come by himself, he came with soldiers."

"Yes, the army that quelled the rebellion in Fujian was all incorporated into the Beijing camp by Chen Mao, this group of people has real power, and we can't deal with it."

Sun Xianzong also knew that if he killed Chen Mao again in the same way, the court would be in chaos, and even the Queen Mother would not be able to suppress this matter at all.

Because, Chen Mao is the last card of the old and new nobles.

For Chen Mao, even if Sun Ruowei went in person, he could only find an excuse to summon him to test it, and he didn't have any right to move him at all.

In today's imperial court, I'm afraid that no one has the courage to move Ningyang Hou Chen Mao's position.

If this card falls, the entire noble group will collapse, and before the final complete collapse, these nobles will definitely jump over the wall in a hurry.

Just before they knew how to respond, Chen Mao's first move had already arrived.

A personal soldier walked into the big tent without reporting, and was not afraid of these nominal veteran Beijing camp generals, looked around, and said coldly:

"The lowly Ningyang Hou is a personal guard, and he was ordered to find Admiral Sun Xianzong."

Everyone turned their heads to look over and found that it was a personal soldier of the counterinsurgency army brought back by Chen Mao from Fujian, but at first glance they found the difference between this personal soldier and the old, weak, sick and disabled people in the Beijing camp under them.

There was a hint of fierceness in the eyes of this pro-soldier, his tone was neither humble nor arrogant, his pace was steady when walking, and the saber on his waist still had some blood stains that had not been wiped clean.

Obviously, this is a veteran who has been in battle many times and has seen blood on his hands.

Sun Xianzong, the name of the country's uncle, cannot play any role in coercing such a person.
