Chapter 133: Purging the Warlords 4
Yuan Chonghuan used the gimmick of military pay to let them take the big head to temporarily appease Zhang Hongmo, Liu Tianlu, Cao Gongcheng and others, but it still didn't work.
Panic is still spreading.
Following Zu Dashou, Xia Guoxiang, Li Bensen, Ma Bao, and Guo Zhuangtu died one after another, and the death was almost exactly the same as Zu Dashou.
At this time, no one doubts that Zu Dashou's death is related to Yuan Chonghuan, Yuan Chonghuan will not be stupid enough to let himself be lost, but it makes Yuan Chonghuan even more anxious.
His suspicions were cleared, but the subordinates of the dead warlord leaders became barrels of explosives, clamoring for an explanation from him, the governor of Ningyuan, all day long.
He is the governor of Ningyuan, and the generals under his command were killed under his nose, and he is fully responsible.
Facing the subordinates left behind by Xia Guoxiang, Li Bensen and other warlord leaders, Yuan Chonghuan gritted his teeth with hatred, but there was nothing he could do.
It won't work to appease Zu Dashou's subordinates with money like before, the military salary is just a little, if all of them are given to the subordinates of the dead warlord leader, then what should the soldiers of the other warlords do, it is not good to provoke a mutiny.
"Inspector, the imperial envoy has arrived!"
Just when Yuan Chonghuan was at a loss, his deputy Wang Chengyin brought him good news.
"It's ......"
Yuan Chonghuan's eyes lit up, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, saying that Cao Cao Cao had arrived, and he was worried that the situation in Ningyuan was about to be overwhelmed, and the man who carried the blame was automatically sent to the door.
God help me!
"Quick, please ......"
Pressing down on the indescribable excitement in his heart, Yuan Chonghuan immediately put on his robe and was about to personally go to greet the imperial envoy.
I can't even care about putting his Yuan Inspector's score, this is his lifesaver, and the key to stabilizing the subordinates of the head of the dead warlord depends on those two envoys!
"Supervisor, Zhang Hongmo, Liu Tianlu, Cao Gongcheng and others have already gone out of the city to greet the envoy!"
Wang Chengyin reminded.
"It's also Ben Du who is anxious about the lake, and he has forgotten about this stubble!"
Yuan Chonghuan patted his head and ordered: "Gather all the generals and follow the governor to catch the wind for the two imperial envoys." ”
"Yes."
Zhu Di, Zhu Zhanji led an army of 10,000 and entered Ningyuan under the leadership of Zhang Hongmo, Liu Tianlu, Cao Gongcheng and others.
Along the way, Zhang Hongmo, Liu Tianlu, Cao Gongcheng and others treated Zhu Di, and Zhu Zhanji can be described as respectful and very thoughtful.
None of them are stupid people, Zu Dashou's entire family is dead, and they will become a piece of fat in the eyes of the major warlords, and sooner or later they will be eaten and wiped clean.
So they have to quickly find a hard and strong backer for themselves, and who else is harder and stronger than the imperial court.
Under the protection of the imperial court, they first escaped the tiger's mouth of the major warlords, and then developed indecently for a few years, they are the new warlords, and they continue to be lawless.
Not only Zhang Hongmo, Liu Tianlu, Cao Gongcheng and other subordinates of Zu Dashou thought so, but even Xia Guoxiang, Li Bensen and other subordinates also had this idea.
People go to tea and cool, and people's minds change, nothing more than this.
"Lord Zhu has worked hard from afar, why don't you find a place to stay and rest first."
Zhang Hongmo, Liu Tianlu, Cao Gongcheng and others patted Zhu Di's sycophants, and at the same time kept their eyes on the cart of military salaries, so many white flowers, they wanted to take the lion's share.
"Don't use it for the time being, let's go and meet Inspector Yuan first, Your Majesty has a holy decree to convey."
Zhu Di said in a surging voice, his eyes scanned the surroundings, and the murderous intent loomed in his eyes.
Zu Dashou, Xia Guoxiang, Li Bensen, Guo Zhuangtu, Ma Bao...... Ning Yuan's warlords, big and small, are almost dead, and the next thing is the final end.
Yuan Chonghuan...... He couldn't wait to meet this half-black and white, hard-to-understand Inspector Yuan.
"Your Excellency, please."
Zhang Hongmo, Liu Tianlu, Cao Gongcheng and others led the way, taking Zhu Di and Zhu Zhanji to the Ningyuan Governor's Mansion.
In front of the Governor's Palace, Yuan Chonghuan, Wang Chengyin, Man Gui, Zhao Shujiao, He Kegang, Wang Pingfan, Gao Dejie...... Ning Yuan's people who could speak had already been waiting here for a long time.
Da-da-da-da
The sound of horses' hooves, the sound of horse bells, Zhu Di and Zhu Zhanji, who are alias Zhu Yong, Zhu Xuan, slowly appeared in front of Yuan Chonghuan and others.
"Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Ningyuan, led all the generals of Ningyuan to meet with the envoy."
Yuan Chonghuan immediately led people to greet him, and did enough superficial work.
Even if they didn't take Zhu Di and Zhu Zhanji seriously at all, they still couldn't slack off on the surface, and they still needed to rely on the court in many places.
Zhu Di turned over and dismounted, pretending to be flattered, and said, "Inspector Yuan, please get up." ”
Yuan Chonghuan didn't take Zhu Di in his eyes, so naturally he would not be polite, and then said: "The governor has set up a banquet in the mansion to wash the dust for the envoy. ”
After speaking, he didn't wait for Zhu Di to refuse, he pulled Zhu Di and was about to go inside, and his subordinates were very conscious to carry the cart of military salaries brought by Zhu Di and Zhu Zhanji.
"There is no hurry to catch the wind and wash the dust."
Zhu Di broke free from Yuan Chonghuan's pull, and his eyes signaled that Zhu Zhanji should do business.
Zhu Zhanji immediately understood, and knocked a soldier close to the military salary carriage to the ground with a punch, and the soldiers who followed also drew their knives at the same time to protect the military salary carriage.
"What do you mean, sir?"
Yuan Chonghuan's face was extremely ugly, an envoy who was only escorting military salaries dared to give him such a faceless face in Ningyuan.
"The Divine Decree has arrived!"
Zhu Di directly showed his killer feature.
Everyone hurriedly knelt down to listen to the holy will, in this place far away from the emperor of the sky, the emperor did not have much deterrence, but they still had to rely on the emperor to live, without the military salary provided by the emperor, they would not be able to mix for long.
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict: Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Ningyuan...... Therefore, Yuan Chonghuan was removed from the post of governor of Ningyuan, and all affairs of Ningyuan were handed over to Zhu Yong to preside over ......"
There was a lot of crackling, and the core meaning was one, remove Yuan Chonghuan and replace it with Zhu Di, who is alias Zhu Yong, to preside over Ning Yuan.
Before the holy decree was recited, Yuan Chonghuan's faces became extremely ugly.
Especially Yuan Chonghuan, like eating a dead mouse, his face was pale and angry, he never dreamed that the emperor who was fooled by him and couldn't tell the difference between the southeast and the northwest would actually change him.
Man Gui, Zhao Shujiao, He Kegang and other generals loyal to the Ming Dynasty were full of worries, although Yuan Chonghuan was in cahoots with the major warlords, but after all, he was a person who could mediate, and he rashly replaced Yuan Chonghuan, and the new "Zhu Yong" may not be able to resist the attack of Jiannu.
Wang Pingfan, Gao Dejie and several other warlord leaders who survived from the Sunflower Sword Guard Sword were extremely dissatisfied, Yuan Chonghuan was the spokesperson of their major warlords, who could not only fight against Jiannu, but also fight for their interests from the imperial court, this Zhu Yong, who had never heard of the name, was going to replace Yuan Chonghuan as soon as he came, and asked their opinions.
