Previously, Wang Li sent two letters in a row, using Huang Taiji's discussion and fraud as an excuse, and asked to stay in Xiping Fort, so as to delay the time to go to Phi Island.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Youzhen's attitude was very resolute: he issued two holy decrees in succession, urging Wang Li to go to Phi Island as soon as possible.

Wang Li couldn't put it down, and checked the third letter to Zhu You.

In the recital, Wang Li once again expounded on Huang Taiji's wolf ambitions and the importance of Xiping Fort;

also used the excuse that "the Guanning army is about to be transferred to quell the chaos, and Liaodong is empty", he continued to ask for orders to stay in Xipingbao;

The book also said that if Huang Taiji tore up the agreement and led the army to attack, he would fight to the last soldier and swear to live and die with Xiping Fort!

This recital moved Zhu Youzhen to tears again!

In fact, this time, Wang Li is "trying to capture the old and indulge":

He expected that Zhu Youzhen would definitely transfer himself to Phi Dao!

It is also expected that Zhu Youzhen will not give up the determination of Xiping Fort!

The holy decree sent by Zhu Youzhen was also as Wang Li expected!

Wu Xiang was asked to defend Xiping Fort!

That's it!

Hahaha!

More than 100 carriages drove into Xiping Fort, and Huang Taiji will definitely know!

The silver and grain were not sent to Shenyang, and Huang Taiji would definitely come to Xipingbao to ask for it!

Wu Xiang, naturally he can't get money and food!

Huang Taiji will be furious!

Xiping Fort, far away from Jinzhou!

After withdrawing himself, there were only a thousand soldiers and horses in the city!

Break with one hit!

Wu Xiang naturally knows this!

He, most likely, will break through!

It is also possible that before the army of Huang Taiji arrives, he will abandon the city early!

No matter what, the great crime of losing three hundred miles of land can only be borne by Wu Xiang!

If you are mild, you will be executed by Ling Chi!

In the worst case, the Nine Clans will be exterminated!

And himself and Yuan Chonghuan, Zhu Youzhen will not blame!

As for Phi Island, just go up and walk around!

Mao Wenlong, the emperor of the soil, would never dare to offend!

At least, you can't offend him on Phi Island!

Otherwise, you will be thrown into the sea to feed the fish!

After leaving Phi Dao, he grabbed a few Koreans or Jurchens at random, beat him half to death, and became the mastermind of supplying cannons to Huang Taiji!

You're all set!

Wang Li's plan can be described as seamless.

However, there are some things that he can not fully predict!

First of all, Yang He went to Shaanxi!

In order to save money, Zhu Youzhen chose to "try it", he wanted to see the effect of Yang He's "cultivation of vitality", and did not immediately dispatch Guan Ningjun to Shaanxi;

Secondly, Yuan Chonghuan went to Phi Dao!

There is no need to guess, it must be Wu Xiang who reported the matter of "Phi Dao fornication and slave building"!

In this matter, Zhu Youzhen never thought of letting Yuan Chonghuan investigate!

However, Yuan Chonghuan is the secretary of the military department and the superintendent of Jiliao!

The entire Liaodong is under the jurisdiction of the "Jiliao Governor"!

If the defenders of Phi Island really "fornicated with slaves", once it is verified, Yuan Chonghuan will not be able to escape the blame!

If Huang Taiji succeeds in getting a batch of cannons, the Guanjin defense line will be under pressure!

So, Yuan Chonghuan had to go!

What Wang Li didn't expect the most was that Mao Wenlong, the soil emperor, died!

was beheaded by Yuan Chonghuan with Shang Fang's sword!

The person who reported the news was none other than a pawn who had fled from Phi Island to the shore!

"Factory, shall we still go to Phi Dao?"

"Still going? Do you want to die? ”

Wang Li replied angrily, looking at the boundless sea, his back was cold!

In the history of the late Ming Dynasty that Wang Li knew a little, the only general he knew a little about was Yuan Chonghuan!

The Ming Dynasty generals who could defeat the Houjin Army twice on the frontal battlefield between Ningyuan and Jinzhou were only Yuan Chonghuan!

Alas!

Big things are not good!

Yuan Chonghuan is dead this time!

It is very easy to kill Mao Wenlong without permission, and be planted by someone with a heart for the big crime of "fornication and slavery"!

Could it be that Yuan Chonghuan was executed by Ling Chi because he killed Mao Wenlong?

Alas!

In Zhu Youzhen's holy decree, even if Mao Wenlong "fornicated with slaves", even if the West Factory has been verified, it cannot be disposed of at will!

Instead, he was escorted back to Beijing and "personally interrogated" by Zhu Youzhen!

This is not clear, do you want to save Mao Wenlong's life!

It's a pity that Yuan Chonghuan didn't know about this holy decree!

Alas!

This guy is a scholar from Jinshi!

Why are you so reckless?

He really thought that with Shang Fang's sword in hand, he could kill people at will?

Do you really think you can "cut first and then play"?

Alas!

Whether it is Wei Zhongxian, who leans towards the government and the opposition, or himself, the governor of Xichang, even if he kills a seven-rank petty official, he must report to the emperor in advance!

Even if you plant someone with a capital crime at will, before beheading him, the emperor must personally nod his head!

It's like doing it yourself!

Whether it is torture or castration, Zhu Youzhen personally nodded!

This is the most basic respect for the emperor!

Even if something happens, you don't have any responsibility!

It's a pity that Yuan Chonghuan doesn't understand this!

Or rather, his emotional intelligence is too low!

In all dynasties, courtiers who do not respect the emperor, courtiers who do not know how to speculate on the holy will, there is no good result!

Even if the emperor doesn't say it on the spot, he will settle the account after the autumn!

Alas!

When passing by Jinzhou a few months ago, Yuan Chonghuan couldn't get used to Mao Wenlong's arrogance, and Wang Li had already guessed a thing or two.

At that time, Wang Li took into account Yuan Chonghuan's status as a supervisor, and he didn't know much about Mao Wenlong, so he didn't say much.

Unexpectedly, Yuan Chonghuan seized this opportunity and immediately attacked the "Overseas Son of Heaven"!

Alas!

Yuan Chonghuan, as the governor of Jiliao, didn't fully consider the situation in Liaodong?

Even if he didn't like Mao Wenlong, even if he wanted to kill people, he didn't think about the consequences?

The tens of thousands of people on Phi Island are indeed a group of stragglers!

However, Mao Wenlong on Phi Island is a double-edged sword!

Use it well, you can poke Huang Taiji's ass!

If you're not careful, you'll hurt yourself!

Zhu Youzhen, who is far away in Beijing, knows this truth, Yuan Chonghuan, the Jiliao Governor, doesn't he know?

When he sighed, he cursed for a long time, and calmed down, Wang Li still wanted to keep Yuan Chonghuan!

After all, the more friends there are, the easier the way to go!

With the help of him, the military's "first-class officer", he, the commander of the West Factory, can work for a few more years!

With him guarding Liaodong, he can make a few more years of fish!

So, after asking Yuan Chonghuan about the excuse for killing, Wang Li hurriedly drafted a letter to denounce Mao Wenlong's ten major crimes:

Mao Wenlong acted arbitrarily in the Dongjiang River, and the money and grain of the military horses were not subject to verification, and he should be killed;

falsely reporting war exploits, wantonly killing soldiers and refugees, and deserving of death;

Garrison Dengzhou, it is easy to take Nanjing, it is a big rebellion, and three should be killed;

embezzled military salaries and deducted 300,000 taels of money and grain, causing the defenders on the island to complain and deserve to be killed;

Privately opened a horse market on Phi Island, fornicated with the Japanese and sold cannons and muskets to Jiannu, which was verified to be true, and five should be killed;

On the island, there are more than 3,000 generals and generals who have been given the surname "Mao".

As a general of the Ming Dynasty, he did not want to recover the country, but plundered merchant ships and colluded with pirates, and seven should be killed;

forcibly marrying a people's daughter, ignorant of the law and discipline, and his subordinates followed suit, causing tens of thousands of people to be uneasy at home, and they should be killed;

drove the refugees to dig ginseng, and those who did not obey were starved to death, resulting in a lot of bones on Phi Dao, and nine should be killed;

Tieshan was defeated in a fiasco, and countless teachers were lost, but he covered up the defeat and made a contribution, and ten should be killed;

At the end of the book, Wang Liben wanted to say something good for Yuan Chonghuan,

But after thinking about it, he instead denounced Yuan Chonghuan for the crime of killing the general, and requested that he be removed from office and handed over to the Criminal Department for thorough investigation.

Then, Wang Li wrote a letter to Yuan Chonghuan, telling him a lot of ways to be an official;

I hope he will quickly write a letter to ask for guilt!

I hope that he will lower his posture a little bit in the recital book and blow Huang Taiji a little harder!

Only in this way can you keep your official hat!

As for Zhu Youzhen's post-autumn reckoning, I can't take care of it so much for the time being!

Let's take it one step at a time!

After the book was sent out by the fast horse, Wang Li thought about it several times, but he still didn't dare to go to Phi Island!

Even, I don't dare to return to Beijing by sea!

Because, the righteous son and grandson surnamed Mao left on Phi Island are angry at the moment!

Those guys are a bunch of outlaws!

Yuan Chonghuan has tens of thousands of troops in his hands, so they naturally don't dare to provoke!

But, they dare to pick their own skin!

If it falls into their hands, they will surely die!

Therefore, Wang Li chose to go northwest from the line of Tieshan, Xuancheng, and Gaizhou, and then quietly bypassed the southern end of Xipingbao and returned to Jinzhou along the coastline!

It will take at least a month to return to Beijing from this route, and you may also encounter Houjin's patrol!

But it's much safer than by sea!

Alas!

Unexpectedly, his dignified Admiral of the West Factory has become a person who steals chickens and dogs!

Walking day and night, frightened all day long!

If it spreads, where should the face go!

Alas!

For the sake of my life, I can only do this!

……

In June, Wang Li led five hundred brocade guards and quietly went around to the "Wugou Camp";

This place is located in the southwest corner of Xiping Fort, about one hundred and fifty miles away from Xiping Fort.

"What? Xiping Fort has been occupied by the Eight Banners? ”

Wang Li really can't believe it!

It's only been two months since I left, and Xiping Fort fell?

Huang Taiji is so anxious?

"Have you heard about the traces of Wu Xiang's father and son?"

"Not yet! The gate of Xiping Fort is closed, and the city is full of Eight Banner soldiers! I'm afraid that I won't know until the brothers who went to Jinzhou to explore the way return! ”

That's it, that's it!

After Song Zhe sneaked up on Liaoyang in the dark, the Houjin troops in each city strengthened their vigilance, and it was difficult to sneak in again!

Even if he sneaks in, he can't understand the Jurchens!

Actually, there's no need to find out the news!

According to Wu Xiang's beating nature, the Eight Banners were still dozens of miles away from the city, so he abandoned the city early!

Therefore, if this goods escapes back to Jinzhou, he can be killed by casually planting him for dereliction of duty and cowardice, or for the great crime of fornicating with slaves!

……

Capital.

Knowing the news that the Dongjiang General Army, the Pingliao General Military Officer, and the Zuodu Governor Mao Wenlong were beheaded, the hall exploded!

Whether it is the eunuch party or the Donglin party, they all speak in unison.

The voices demanding that Yuan Chonghuan be removed from his post and investigated were higher and higher, making Zhu Youzhen upset and irritable.

The books are one after another, and they can't be dismantled!

Even, some people claim that Yuan Chonghuan killed Mao Wenlong, and he was suspected of defecting to the enemy!

However, Zhu Youzhen was unmoved.

After waiting for several days, Wang Li's recital was finally delivered!

Holding the book, Zhu Youzhen's hands trembled!

Don't dare to open it!

The only people he trusts the most and who entrust him with important tasks are Yuan Chonghuan and Wang Ergou!

However, it is rumored that Yuan Chonghuan has a very close personal relationship with Wang Ergou!

If Wang Ergou defends Yuan Chonghuan, it means that the two are indeed suspected of "forming a party"!

Zhu Youzhen's palms were full of sweat!

As long as Wang Ergou defends Yuan Chonghuan or helps him say half a good word, then ......

Is it to get rid of Yuan Chonghuan, or to get rid of Wang Ergou?

Don't do that!

Don't!

My king and second dog, you must not form a party for personal gain!

Otherwise, I'll take your dog's life!
