Chapter Seventy-Six: The Traitor in Action
Mao Yujian didn't expect that things would take a turn for the better, he was overjoyed at the moment, and he also led Wang Zhixin as a distinguished guest, and then Wu Mengming, Luo Yangxing and Yang Guanguan also lived in Mao's Mansion together, although there were more people and housing was tight, but it was indeed much safer to stay here.
There are so many ministers in the Ming Dynasty, and no one will pay attention to a small imperial history.
Not to mention, this imperial historian was once the one who proposed to abolish the post station, and it seems that it is even more impossible for him to contact Li Zicheng.
Everyone lived in Mao's mansion, and there seemed to be more guarantees in safety, and next, they discussed together how to welcome the Dashun army into the city.
Several of you here can be said to have made a substantial move to betray the Ming Dynasty, they are not the same as those courtiers who secretly contacted Li Zicheng, they are already people who have been made public.
In other words, they have long had no choice, and Li Zicheng did not enter Beijing City, so they had no choice but to escape from here.
For the sake of their own safety and future, at this time, they can only find a way to facilitate the entry of the Dashun army into the city and the destruction of the Zhu Ming Dynasty.
"I really don't understand, we have an internal response in the city, General Li You is also here, there are also our eyeliners outside the palace, the main force of the Dashun army is outside the city, why don't they attack the city now, what are they waiting for?" The first person to say such things was Wu Mengming, the former commander of the Jinyi Guard.
This is in the study room in Mao's Mansion, where everyone is discussing what to do next. The whole process was led by the king's heart, and everyone was called to find a way to discuss countermeasures.
Wu Mengming was the first to speak, and then Luo Yangxing immediately echoed and said, "That's it, that's it, now that the advantages are all here, what are the Dashun Army waiting for?" ”
The two of them were talking, and they all looked a little anxious.
I'm really not in a hurry.
They took their Jinyi guards to attack Yang's Mansion and rescued Yang Guanguan, but they also exposed their strength because of this, so they were naturally targeted by Zhu Changwu.
The Ming Jingshi is so big, if the Jinyi guards want to hide, it is too difficult to find them. The current Zhu Changwu has limited manpower, and he is mainly dealing with the Dashun army outside the city, and he doesn't want to do things in the city, so he has no intention of sending people to track down Wu Mengming and others.
The people were not sent out, but the news was spread, that is, Zhu Changwu expressed his importance to Jinyiwei, especially as soon as the new security conditions for Jinyiwei came out, when they were transmitted to the people, they would inevitably also be transmitted to the ears of those Jinyiwei who were hiding in the dark.
Jinyiwei is not a place that can be entered but not exited.
The reward received by Jinyiwei after his meritorious service will be multiplied several times.
If Jin Yiwei is injured, he can get a lot of compensation; If you are unfortunately killed in battle, you can also be cared for.
And these are not the most critical, the most important thing is that once you survive to the age of Jinyiwei, after retiring, you can even get a certain retirement allowance every month, and the new commander Zhu Changwu is in charge of this is called retirement salary.
If you don't work, you still have money, which is an unprecedented treatment and policy.
Just like being a minister of the court, after Zhishi, he can only get a one-time reward, and then there is only a treatment of exemption from servitude, which can only be enjoyed by courtiers who have reached the rank.
But now, ordinary brocade guards have such treatment. As soon as the news came out, I don't know how many Jinyiwei were shaken in his heart.
That is, the situation is unclear now, and no one knows whether the Ming army can withstand it in the face of the Dashun army's attack again, and whether it can still keep the city of Beijing. Otherwise, I am afraid that I don't know how many Jinyi guards will take the initiative to jump out and take refuge on Zhu Changwu's side, or even deal with Wu Mengming and the others in turn.
Even now, when some Jinyi guards looked at Wu Mengming and Luo Yangxing, they were not as respectful and obedient as before, and the most direct manifestation was that when they found some other Jinyi guards in the city who were in a neutral choice, they did not say that they would take refuge in them immediately, but said that they would consider it.
This is already a very bad signal, which also makes the two very worried, if after a long time, the Dashun army has not moved, will these existing brocade guards under their hands turn against the water, and even directly join Zhu Changwu and confess to them?
The situation is so critical, the two of them can't help but be in a hurry. On the surface, he was complaining, but in fact, he was taking the opportunity to question Wang Zhixin, why the Dashun army had not moved yet.
"King Dashun naturally has his plan to do things, and now he has not launched a siege battle, there must be a reason that we don't know, and this is not something we need to consider." Wang Xinxin saw that the two had questions, so he answered them with this sentence.
In fact, Wang Zhixin couldn't understand why the Dashun army had not moved for a long time, it had been almost three days since the last battle with the Ming army, and the Dashun army suddenly did not move, could it be that Zhu Changwu hurt them last time?
I guess it shouldn't. In the last battle, the Dashun army only killed more than 30,000 people, and most of them were ordinary soldiers. It is no exaggeration to say that a soldier like this, wherever the Dashun army fights, can be quickly replenished, that is to say, an ordinary soldier like this, no matter how many deaths he makes, Li Zicheng should not be distressed.
Even if there is no injury to the muscles and bones, the army still does not move, and Wang Zhixin can't understand it in his heart.
It's one thing for him to not understand, because only he knows about it, and he won't tell anyone else. On the other hand, when asked, he has to act like he knows everything and understands everything, but he just can't say it, because it's a secret.
Only in this way can he reflect his uniqueness and prove that only he is the confidant of Li Zicheng, the king of Dashun.
Sure enough, as soon as Wang Zhixin replied like this, Wu Mengming and the two stopped talking. They have doubts, and even some are dissatisfied with what the Dashun Army is doing now, but they know more clearly that they have no way to go now, and there is only one way left to join the Dashun Army.
If the Dashun army doesn't want them anymore, I'm afraid that once they are captured by the Ming army in the future, there will definitely be no good fruit to eat.
The two brocade guards didn't speak, and Wang Zhixin no longer paid attention to them, but looked at Yang Guanguan on the side and said, "Lord Yang, how are you doing to contact the courtiers?" ”
"Hey, the prince also knows that my affairs have been spread, and there is no way to go to other courtiers' mansions, which will only bring trouble to them. What's more, my finger was broken by Zhu Changwu's reckless man now, and now I can't even write, I can't even write letters to other ministers, so how can I contact them? ”
Yang Guanguan said with a sad face.
How can I say that I am also a waiter of the Ministry of Rites, that is definitely a high-powered existence. In the past, Chongzhen was very optimistic about him and relied on him a lot. But because of Zhu Changwu's sudden appearance, without evidence, he indiscriminately injured him and raided his home.
One million and 700,000 taels of silver, that is what he has obtained for many years as an official, and now that he is good, he was snatched away by Zhu Changwu all of a sudden, how can he not be angry.
I wanted to trouble him, but now that he has been listed as a rebel, he doesn't even dare to see Chongzhen at this time. The only thing to do is to take refuge in Li Zicheng and use his power to take revenge.
Yang Guanguan, who knew what his role was, thought that he would contact more ministers to impeach Zhu Changwu, and at a critical time, it should be a great achievement to contact these courtiers to collectively join Li Zicheng.
Damn it, one of the fingers of his right hand was broken, and he wouldn't be able to get better for a while, and now he can't even write, so what else can he do.
Looking at Yang Guanguan's depressed state, Wang Zhixin was not discouraged, the reason why he would look for Yang Guanguan was because when this person was an official, he was exquisite, and he could talk to many courtiers, so he wanted to borrow the power of the other party.
Now I say that my hand is broken and I can't write, but it doesn't matter, I can find someone else to write for me. For example, isn't Mao Yujian sitting here? It can be narrated by Yang Guanguan, and someone else will write it for you.
Wait until the letter is written, and finally Yang Guanguan can sign it. Presumably, there should be no problem just writing your own name.
"In this way, the work of liaison cannot be stopped, and then we will trouble Mao Yushi, you will ghostwrite, Lord Yang will narrate, there is no problem, right?" Looking at Mao Yujian, Wang Zhipi asked with a smile.
"Of course there is no problem." Mao Yujian hurriedly agreed.
He was thinking about doing something, wanting to clear his sin, and he was afraid that it was not enough to provide a house. Now, there are more things that can be helped, and of course he has to cooperate.
"Okay, then this matter will be handed over to the two, we must find a way to contact more courtiers and increase the weight in our hands, and as long as we courtiers have one heart, it will be the day when King Dashun enters the Jingshi, and we will not underestimate our strength, at that time, we can say more for ourselves and fight for more rights and interests."
"Yes." Yang Guanguan and Mao Yujian naturally understood this truth, and after hearing this, they all nodded in unison.
Wang Zhixin then looked at Wu Mengming and Luo Yangxing and said: "Two, the number of Jinyi guards is still not enough, and you have to work hard to contact more people, only when we have our own army, can we speak hard, and we can make more contributions." ”
"Okay." Wu Mengming and Luo Yangxing glanced at each other, nodded and agreed.
Now Jinyi Wei is uncertain, and it is not easy to contact more people for their use. But as Wang Zhixin said, their value is here, in order to have a better future in the future, even if things are difficult, they have to do it.
Seeing what he ordered, everyone promised to do it well, and Wang Zhixin's face was much better than just now. "Several, let's unite and do a good job in what we do. As long as things are done, I can assure you that when the Dashun army enters the city, we will still be able to enjoy the glory. ”
