Miao Sanguan's long letter of tens of thousands of words, and it was also reported to his lord, there was no head or tail, of course, there was a reason.

The crux of this is that the person who sent the letter is so special that everyone keeps it secret.

There were two people who sent the letter, one was named Jiang Tengjiao and the other was Weng Chengjiu.

Both of these people have a great relationship with Xiong Chu, and there are inexplicable intersections.

Jiang Tengjiao, who turned out to be the deputy leader of the Yellow River Platoon Gang, once defeated the official army under the command of Miao Sanguan.

Later, he joined forces with Qiu Wanshan, the deputy leader of the beggar gang, to rebel, and did not hesitate to put the leader of the beggar gang under house arrest.

Jiang Tengjiao called himself the Mixed River Dragon, Qiu Wanshan was known as the Rolling Dragon, and led 40,000 disciples of the Yellow River Platoon Gang and Zhongzhou Beggars Gang to occupy the first line of Yingshan, Luotian and Macheng at the southern foot of Dabie Mountain.

Weng Chengjiu, the commander of the Inspection Department of Jinzhai Town, is the sesame mung bean official from Jiupin.

This guy used to be considered Xiong Chu's enemy, but was later captured by Xiong Chu.

At the beginning, Prince Xiong fought Zhang Xianzhong in Fengyang City, the central capital, and finally turned the precarious situation into a disaster and saved the ancestral tomb of the Zhu family from being destroyed.

In order to avoid the risks of those court officials in Fengyang City to turn around and deal with their own risks, Prince Xiong led everyone to escape from Fengyang City in the chaos, bypassing Huoqiu County and going south into Jinzhai Town at the northern foot of Dabie Mountain, and then formed an indissoluble bond with Weng Chengjiu.

In March of the fifteenth year of Chongzhen (1642), Zhang Xianzhong conquered Shucheng, and then went down to Luzhou, Wuwei, Lujiang, and Yanshui, and completely broke the encirclement and suppression of the imperial court on the front line of Chaohu Lake.

At this time, Fengyang General Soldier Huang Degong garrisoned Dingyuan, and Tongcheng General Soldier Liu Liangzuo was stationed in Baojialing. Zhang Xianzhong led his troops into Tongcheng, and held the battalion Liao Yingdeng to the city to lure him to surrender.

On September 24, Huang Degong and Liu Liangzuo split up and defeated more than 60,000 people under Zhang Xianzhong's command. Zhang Xianzhong was defeated and fled to Qianshan, and was finally surrounded by Huang Degong and Liu Liangzuo.

Jiang Tengjiao, the dragon of the mixed river, and Qiu Wanshan, the dragon of the rolling earth, led the main force of more than 30,000 people to urgently reinforce them, but they were delayed by Weng Chengjiu and his 124 men on the way.

Huang Degong and Liu Liangzuo fought in Qianshan and captured Zhang Xianzhong's main generals, such as King Chuangshi, Ma Wu, Three Harriers, and Wang Xingguo.

Zhang Xianzhong led the remnants of 35,000 people to flee to the territory of Dabie Mountain, Huang Degong and Liu Liangzuo of course pursued closely, Qiu Wanshan led 20,000 people to rescue him, and ran into Huang Degong's victorious soldiers.

Of course, it is a good hand for beggars to help disciples ask for food along the street and deliver letters on secret routes, but when they encounter a general like Huang Degong who can recruit and fight, of course they are vulnerable. Qiu Wanshan faced Huang Degong, and only supported more than 30 rounds before he was picked up by a shot.

On the other way, Weng Chengjiu, who was entangled with 10,000 people in Jiang Tengjiao's department, happened to run into Liu Liangzuo. As a result, Liu Liangzuo not only did not reward Weng Chengjiu for leading more than 100 people to drag more than 30,000 enemies, but also indiscriminately blamed Weng Chengjiu for not blocking Zhang Xianzhong's way and delaying the fighter.

At this time, Weng Chengjiu had already held back the fire in his heart, and under the false accusation of Liu Liangzuo like this, he couldn't bear it anymore, and fought on the spot.

Liu Liangzuo grabbed some military exploits in the battle of Qianshan, and when he was proud, he saw an unpopular Jiupin sesame official, who was presumptuous in front of him, and shouted angrily: "Take down all these rebellions!"

Weng Chengjiu was not afraid of death, but when he saw that the one hundred and twenty-four archer brothers who had been loyal to him for six or seven years to capture thieves and attack Kou, they were about to be beheaded now, and they couldn't do it if they didn't do it.

Liu Liangzuo never thought that a group of small archers would be able to kill them in his own army, which is simply no king's law, of course they have to pursue.

What he didn't expect was that Jiang Tengjiao led 10,000 people to suddenly kill him halfway, beat Liu Liangzuo to the ground, and rescued Weng Chengjiu and others.

"Last time, Lockthroat Kenhachiro specifically mentioned you to me, and I also have a lot of respect for my brother. In the past, the Tao was different and not the same, but now the brothers are also reversed, what are you going to do next?"

Regarding Jiang Tengjiao's question, Weng Chengjiu didn't think about it: "I have long received a report from Tang that Prince Xiong has made a great career on the southwest coast and recovered a lot of land. He was declared a rebel by the imperial court, and he was able to fight for the country. I've also been declared a rebel now, and of course I'm going to go to Prince Xiong. ”

Jiang Tengjiao sighed: "I think that at the beginning, Jian Hachiro persuaded me, I thought he was a member of the Zhu family, so I was a little suspicious of his intentions." Now it seems that the method of locking the throat sword is the right one. Qiu Wanshan had already died in battle, Huang Degong's troops were difficult to beat, and Yingshan couldn't hold it. Forget it, we're all going to the Lockthroat Sword!"

Jiang Tengjiao and Weng Chengjiu's every move did not escape the dark line of Shen Xiyue and Mo Jiuniang. After some secret operations, Jiang Tengjiao's more than 10,000 people were all taken to Dongting Lake to settle down.

The main force under Jiang Tengjiao was originally the disciples of the Yellow River Platoon Gang, and water kung fu was their strength, so it was only right to hand it over to the Dongting Sailor for training.

How to settle Jiang Tengjiao and Weng Chengjiu, Shen Xiyue and Mo Jiuniang didn't dare to make their own decisions, so they sent them to Hengyang to see the old master Miao Sanguan.

Miao Sanguan knew Jiang Tengjiao, but he didn't know Weng Chengjiu, and Weng Chengjiu was still a peripheral force of Jinyiwei, so naturally he didn't dare to draw conclusions lightly. That's why two people came over to deliver the letter and handed it over to the main male Xiong Chu Fa Luo.

Weng Chengjiu was disheartened by the imperial court, and of course there were other reasons.

Not long ago, Ma Shiying was suddenly promoted to the governor of Lufeng, as a subordinate of Jinyiwei, Weng Chengjiu not only did not get the slightest appeasement, but was charged with "slacking off his duties and arsoning with bandits".

Liu Liangzuo wanted to kill Liang and take the risk, for Weng Chengjiu, it was just adding fuel to the fire, and it was also a fuse, and finally helped Weng Chengjiu make up his mind.

After the negotiation between Xiong Chu and Wan Lian, they always thought that the situation in the north was complicated now, and there were not enough generals under the old master, so it was better for Jiang Tengjiao and Weng Chengjiu to return to Hengyang.

What made Xiong Chu embarrassed was that Zhong Guozhu was originally in the Yellow River Pai Gang and belonged to the middle and lower class managers. But now that Zhong Guozhu is already the governor of the Burmese and Vietnamese Naval Division, what position should Jiang Tengjiao be given?

"The lord is worried. Wan Lian shook his head: "There are no rules, there is no circle, this is common sense." What is Zhong Guozhu's identity when he walks the rivers and lakes, it is not comparable at all. Zhong Guozhu Tiexin followed the lord to fight for more than ten years, and before that, he fought three battles in the ocean, and made countless bloody and sweaty contributions, which made everyone admire, so he was able to serve as the governor of the navy. ”

"Jiang Tengjiao's new investment recently, but he has not made an inch, it would be good if the lord could take it in. It is only fair that people in the army are promoted through meritorious service. You can't just be who someone was and what they are now. If the lord attaches too much importance to Jiang Tengjiao, it will be unfair to other people. ”

Xiong Chu was "taught a lesson" by Wan Lian without pain or itching, and suddenly lost his temper.

Because Wan Lian was the governor of the three armies, he considered the problem from the overall situation, of course, it must be fair and reasonable, so as to inspire the three armies to fight desperately and bloodily.

Although Prince Xiong is the lord, he has a good attitude of admitting his mistakes: "Just follow the military regulations of the military division, I will definitely not interfere." ”

Wan Lian took the lead, grabbed a big pen and waved it: "Promote Jiang Tengjiao to the captain of the Water Gate, and promote Weng Chengjiu to the captain of the bow horse." ”

Captain of the Water Gate is the lowest rank of captain in the Water Division, that is, the general who usually guards the gate of the Water Village.

Bow and horse captain is the lowest rank in the cavalry, and is actually a baggage general who manages war horses, bows and arrows, and Sun Wukong's "Bi Ma Wen" at the same level.

General Zhenguo, Marquis of Pingnan, and Wan Lian, the governor of the three armies, explained it this way: "Even if Sun Wukong can become a Monkey King in the future, he must first be a few days of Bi Ma Wen, which is no way to do it." Because this is the army, not the Jianghu sect. I hope that you will be able to fight with a knife and a shot on the battlefield in the future, and kill your own fame with your real skills. ”

Although Jiang Tengjiao felt a sense of loss in his heart, he came out of the rivers and lakes and knew the reason that the entry order and the level were different. Later, he led the troops for several years, and of course he knew that what the Governor of Wanlian said was right.

Weng Chengjiu was quite happy: there were only more than 100 people under his command, from the non-entry sesame mung bean officer of Jiupin, and he was not a regular army. Now he has become a seventh-rank captain, which is equivalent to being promoted to three levels in a row. There are at least more than 2,400 people under his command, and they can be called generals.

One heaven and one earth, each man has his own confidants.

After Prince Xiong specially set up a banquet to entertain him, he asked the two of them to return to the account of the old master Miao Sanguan, the main purpose was to expand the strength of Hengyang Mansion and prepare for contingencies.

After Jiang Tengjiao and Weng Chengjiu left the royal city of Burma-Yue, they entered Guangxi from Zhennanguan in the north through Shenglong City, and then returned to Hengyang City to hand over orders to General Dingguo and Miao Sanguan of the Left Army.

The meaning of the order is to transfer a secret letter to Wan Lian: "The lord knows that the court is no longer good, but he just doesn't want to admit it, so he is uncertain now." You don't have to ask the lord for everything, Hengyang should let go and plan for the future. ”

"Li Zicheng is stationed in Fancheng, and Zuo Liangyu will undoubtedly be defeated. At that time, there was not a single soldier of the imperial court in the land of Jingxiang, and it was all in Li Zicheng's pocket, and it was no longer considered the imperial court. Zhang Xianzhong stayed in Dabie Mountain and did not leave, Huangzhou would not be guaranteed sooner or later, and something would inevitably happen to Ganzhou, Wuchang, and Yueyang. ”

"Immediately look for a reserve candidate, once Li Zicheng goes south and Zhang Xianzhong goes west, we must seize the handle of Wang Jukui, the governor of Huguang, Li Qiande, the governor of Yuanjiang, Kong Xigui, the general soldier, and Liu Xizuo, the governor of Hengyang, and then use the name of King Yongsheng to take them all and replace our own people. ”

"Although Jiang Tengjiao is a friend of the lord, he is not dead set on the lord. And once established himself as a king, and since then he has been trapped to vote, so he needs to be used carefully. Weng Chengjiu has an upright personality and is upright. In addition, he is skilled in archery and horses, and his marksmanship is outstanding, and he is really a general's talent. In the future, he will be able to take charge of the post of the commander-in-chief of one side. ”

The secret letter exchange between the left and right military divisions, Xiong Chu did not know. Moreover, Wan Lianjian yì Miao Sanguan let go of it, and Xiong Chu didn't know it even more.

Xiong Chu didn't know, but he never understood what the situation in front of him would be.

The imperial court did not appease the people well internally, and could not resist the external enemy externally, so it even let the Jurchen Tartars directly hit the hinterland of Shandong, which was like no one, and the troops pointed directly at Nanjing.

Although the Jurchen Tartars took the initiative to retreat, this time the strategic reconnaissance had already ended, and they had obtained tens of millions of taels of gold and silver treasures, and captured more than 600,000 people in the interior, including countless cattle and horses.

Xiong Chu has also led troops for more than ten years, and he knows the purpose of the Jurchen Tatars' operation this time, and he is even more shocked by the Jurchen Tatars' harvest this time.

It is no exaggeration to say that what the Jurchen Tatars obtained from the attack on Shandong was enough to form an army of 100,000.

All the wealth of the Ming Dynasty is in the hands of the princes of various places, and Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen is already imaginary.

All of this qiē was completely seen through by the Jurchen Tartars, which was the reason why Xiong Chu broke out in a cold sweat when he thought about it.

Is it unrealistic to go north to fight the Jurchen Tartars?

Because it has been mentioned in Miao Sanguan's book of ten thousand words, Chen Jie, the head of the palace, used his special identity as Jinyiwei to test the possibility of "Enzhun rebelling against Zhu Shengxin and leading troops to the Northern Expedition" to the imperial court according to the meaning of Prince Xiong.

As a result, he was reprimanded by Emperor Chongzhen: "The rebel leads his troops to the north, and he must pass through the Beijing Division." Who knows who is going to be attacked? This is not appropriate, and there is no need to discuss it again!"
