Chapter 776: Heaven and Earth are all working together
Zhongshu Province, Zuo Prime Minister's Office.
The courtyard is shaded by the sun, and there are guards guarding separately, quietly, and there are no idle people.
Hu Weiyong was flipping through the thick books with the new Chinese scholar Zuo Cheng Chen Ning, while discussing something in a low voice.
The previous Chinese book Zuo Cheng Peng Geng, because he was really embarrassed, was taken the opportunity by Hu Weiyong to be sent to Zhejiang to become a political envoy.
The vacated position of Peng Geng was taken over by Chen Ning, the imperial historian.
Chen Ning was the iron team left by Li Shanchang to Hu Weiyong, and the private communication between the two has long become a dead friend over the years.
Moreover, Chen Ning was born as a small official in the Yuan Dynasty, and in order to make a career, he took the initiative to join Boss Zhu's command, and there were no Confucian rules and regulations in his mind.
Such people are often powerful, courageous, and bold. Later, he became the prefect of Suzhou, firmly implemented Boss Zhu's punitive taxes, and the gentry and people in Suzhou resisted taxes, so he was arrested and served with a red-hot soldering iron.
To this day, Suzhou people still talk about changing color and call him 'Chen Soldering Iron'.
When he becomes the imperial doctor, he will be even more rigid and self-serving, and he should not be offended.
His son Chen Menglin really couldn't stand it, and he had been admonished many times. Once angered Chen Ning, he beat his son hundreds of times with a cane, and ended up beating him to death.
Even a ruthless person like Boss Zhu was very dissatisfied with his inhumanity when he knew it, and once said to Hu Weiyong: "Chen Ning is like this to his son, what kind of heart will he have for his father!" ”
Hu Weiyong spread these words to Chen Ning's ears, Chen Ning was really frightened, and resolutely joined Hu Weiyong's rebel gang and became his right-hand man, a hundred times more powerful than the previous Peng Geng.
Therefore, Hu Weiyong did not hide it from Chen Ning, and even took out the top secret of the Dadu Governor's Mansion that he managed to get - "The Book of Military Horses in the World" to study with him.
Through this book, the Ming Dynasty's million-strong army is fully clothed in terms of defense, number of troops, number of officers, information on the main generals, and equipment.
It is no exaggeration to say that there is no more deadly secret in the entire Ming Dynasty.
"This is a good thing...... Chen Ning groped for the album with a slight tremor in his hand, and said in a low voice: "If it falls into the hands of the enemy country, why don't you take our army at will?" ”
"Hehe, it's a pity that there is no decent enemy country." Hu Weiyong said regretfully: "Beiyuan hid in Mobei and didn't dare to go south. King Liang was in a corner of peace, shrunk his head and waited for death. It's useless to give them even to them. If Wang Baobao is here, it's pretty much the same. ”
"Wouldn't that be of much use?" Chen Ning glanced at Hu Weiyong, others rebelled for their own ascension, but this Hu Xiang rebelled to avenge his son. So there is always a resentment that wants to lure the wolf into the house, and wants to tear Daming to pieces.
But because of this, many careerists are willing to engage with him, so as to wait to pick peaches.
"Hey, you're shallow-sighted, of course you use this kind of good thing yourself." Hu Weiyong shook his head and said: "You can see a lot of things through it, such as which army is a silver-like pewter spearhead, don't worry about it." Which army can be co-opted, and which army must be dismembered in advance. ”
"Give the Marquis of Jiangyin and the Marquis of Ji'an, and they will be like a tiger with wings." As he spoke, he pondered, "You can't let them see the whole picture, only copy a part of what is relevant to them." ”
"They're in the Governor's Mansion before, so they should have seen this thing, right?" Chen Ning said.
"It's been before, it's been so long, and the soldiers and horses everywhere have changed a lot." Hu Weiyong said lightly: "They can see more things than us from the changes." ”
"Also, now that Ding Yu has become the governor of Zuodu, how dare you think about it before?" Chen Ning thought deeply and said: "This is called God to let Hu Xiang do things." ”
"Hehe......" Hu Weiyong smiled reservedly, and that smile was obviously a little more confident than usual.
Na Ding Yu was the subordinate general of Han Lin'er, the original king of Xiaoming, and later voted for Boss Zhu. In the past, no matter how great the credit of this kind of person was, he didn't want to get involved in the position of the left governor of the Dadu Governor's Mansion.
But since last year, Boss Zhu has driven away all the marquis in the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion. Since the beginning of spring, Cao Guogong has been tired and diligent due to illness, and Song Guogong has also been sent to Henan by Boss Zhu to train troops, and the Dadu Governor's Mansion has been taken over by Ding Yu and a group of newly promoted officers.
And he is also Hu Weiyong's in-law. Being able to take the position is inseparable from Hu Xiang's strong recommendation, otherwise Hu Weiyong would not be able to see this "World Military Horse Book".
Ding Yu's ascension made up for Hu Weiyong's biggest shortcoming, which inevitably made him feel that 'heaven and earth are working together at all times', and even firmly believed that his rebellion was secretly in line with the will of heaven.

"However, after reading this "Book of Military Horses in the World", Xia Guan has two worries." After Chen Ning finished patting his fart, he expressed his worries to Hu Weiyong:
"One is the army or the world of Huaixi, and it is difficult to control the overall situation just by relying on those few Hou Ye who stand aside. Even if we succeed by luck, it will be a situation of chaos in the world and warlords, and maybe we will make wedding clothes for others. ”
"Hmm. Your concerns are well founded. Hu Weiyong nodded heavily and said: "So I still have to persuade the Korean Duke to join the gang, and rely on his prestige to control Huaixi." ”
"Yang Wenyu has almost arrived in Fengyang." Chen Ning asked:
"Is there a letter?"
"Not yet." Hu Weiyong shook his head and said, "But it's fast." You go back to the second point. ”
"It's the general's side, the front line of Xuanda Jiliao, the entire 300,000 army, all obey his orders." Chen Ning said worriedly: "When the time comes, the general will give an order, return to the master and King Qin, who in the world can match?" ”
"Yes, Xu Da is the biggest trouble." Hu Weiyong said depressedly: "He is the emperor's youngest child, his sons and daughters, and his brother, so he can't win him over at all." ”
"But if we don't solve him, I'm afraid no one will follow us." Chen Ning's mouth was dry.
"Fortunately, there is no endless road," Hu Weiyong couldn't help but reveal proudly: "General Xu married an unconscious little wife." ”
"Xie?" Chen Ning's eyes lit up.
"She is Xie Zaixing's daughter, the emperor killed her father and married her to her uncle, isn't this a mine for the general?" Hu Weiyong said quietly.
Landmines were invented in the Song Dynasty, so it's okay to say so.
"I'm ......" Chen Ning was shocked: "Hu Xiang turned Xie Zaixing's daughter against him?" ”
"It's a long story, as long as you know that she is willing to cooperate with us in assassinating the general." Hu Weiyong said in a low voice: "When Yang Wenyu sends back the letter, Beiping will launch it." At the same time, we also launched to let the emperor and the crown prince pay for my son's life! ”
"On our side, how do you grasp it?" Chen Ning asked in a trembling voice again.
"On our side, it is naturally the main event." Hu Weiyong smiled, but didn't say to him: "You just wait to watch the show." ”
"Well, you'll have to worry about it all day long." Chen Ning sighed.
"Just to tell you, don't you have to worry about it?" Hu Weiyong asked lightly.
"That's right." Chen Ning smiled bitterly: "I know, I may be more worried." ”
