0581, mysterious Leizhou Battalion
"Eldest sister, what you said is true?"
"Your Majesty, can I still talk nonsense? Of course it's true. Because of Ma Shiying's relationship, Emperor Hongguang appointed Ding Kuichu as the governor of Henan and Huguang, and the governor of Chengtian, De'an, and Xiangyang. Before taking office, when Shen Youlong, the governor of Liangguang, entered the court as a waiter, Ding Kuichu was reappointed as the governor of Liangguang. β
"Eldest sister, you still call me brother. Ever since Wanfulou, I've loved to hear this title. If everyone close to me calls me Majesty, I will be alone. A lonely man is a lone man and a thief, and I don't like it. Is this Ding Kuichu really as unbearable as the eldest sister said?"
"Alas, people want to be on top, only you are trembling all day long. Brothers are brothers, anyway, I don't have brothers, and it seems good to have a brother who is an emperor now. As for whether this Ding Kuichu is a thing, it's not for me to say, he has 426 wives and concubines, and my brother should know what it is. β
At dawn, it was none other than the proprietress of the Wanfulou Inn in Pengpo Town, who had replaced Yan Erniang, who had followed Mandeli to the "Xunjiang Inn" in Wuzhou City.
After Prince Xiong proclaimed himself emperor to the outside world, as the "emperor's sister", Mo Jiuniang was named the "eldest princess of the Ming Dynasty", in charge of the "Qianlong Group", and could freely enter and leave the inner court of the palace to meet Prince Xiong alone.
The reason why the word killer is removed and not called the "Qianlong Killer Group" is because the nature and mission of the Qianlong Group have changed.
The killer group is a civilian "business organization" that kills people in order to make money in business.
The Qianlong Group belongs to the power of the imperial court, mainly to take action against the enemy, and its basic task is to listen to all kinds of news, and at the same time carry out some internal cleanup tasks.
The Qianlong Group in the hands of the eldest princess Mo Jiuniang now has 12,000 members, distributed all over the country and secretly active.
Mo Jiuniang took out a pamphlet from her arms and opened it and said: "Ding Kuichu, fifty-four years old, forty-four years old in Wanli. There are nine main wives, fifty-six equal wives, and a total of 361 concubines. β
Xiong Chu exclaimed: "Oh my God, more than 400 people? Although as the saying goes, there are groups of wives and concubines, but more than 400 people are really outrageous, right? I'm surprised, how can that guy take care of him? Isn't he from a Jinshi, what kind of scholar is this?"
Mo Jiuniang flipped through the pamphlet and said: "Reader? The so-called scholar is synonymous with 'full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, full of male thieves and female prostitutes', Ding Kuichu is just a typical representative. Zhaoqing City seized Ding Kuichu's personal property, including 280,000 taels of gold alone, 2.47 million taels of silver, and countless jewelry. β
"Kill!" Xiong Chu's face seemed to be dripping: "Crazy wealth accumulation has reached this kind of angry and resentful Cheng DΓΉ, no matter who it is, the eldest sister must not be soft in the future, and all of them will be killed!"
Mo Jiuniang closed the booklet: "What really should be killed is not just crazy money. Brother, you don't believe it, this Ding Kuichu's crazy expression is really strange from the past and the present. β
"Do you know? In order not to consume his own money, Ding Kuichu did not use more than 400 wives and concubines for himself. When his subordinates made meritorious contributions, he did not reward gold and silver, but let his wives and concubines sleep with the meritorious personnel. β
What does it mean to be stunned? Xiong Chu leaned on the Taishi's chair and opened his mouth, that is the best portrayal.
"What kind of bullshit reader, it's simply the scum of the world!" Mo Jiuniang's face turned red: "Zhu Di was perverse back then, and the vein he inherited was naturally perverse." The result of the upward and downward effects is that the princes and nobles, officials and ministers are all corrupt and perverted the law. β
"Brother, think about it, Ding Kuichu is not only a Jinshi and a first, but also the governor of Liangguang who leans on one side, and bears the heavy responsibility of maintaining the safety of the southwest half of the imperial court. With such scum as a feudal official, there is no reason for the country not to die!"
"Ling Chi!" Xiong Chu's face had returned to normal, and he said with a murderous voice: "After pacifying Wuzhou, tie up those things that are not human beings to the square, and all of them will be executed by Ling Chi to set an example! In the future, similar crimes will be executed by reference, and no one will be allowed to show mercy outside the law." β
"Brother doesn't know yet, Wuzhou has been pacified. Mo Jiuniang put away the pamphlet and stood up: "Qu Shiyun and the others have been brought back to the governor's yamen, and Zhu Hengjia and his men are also locked up there. β
Xiong Chu shook his head: "What's going on, why didn't I hear any movement?"
Mo Jiuniang smiled slightly: "Where will there be any movement?" Zhou Chang received more than 17,000 elite infantry troops from Ding Kuichu, and then marched west overnight to surround the Zhu Hengjia barracks outside the east gate of Wuzhou City. Otherwise, how could this scum Ding Kuichu be sent in to show his brother?"
"You must know that Zhou Chang and Zhou Xi, the two little guys, are your personal disciples, and the two of them have a total of 800 personal soldiers, and they are all first-class experts in the rivers and lakes. Last night, he entered the barracks overnight and arrested Zhu Hengjia and his generals. In order not to disturb the local people, there was no noise. β
"Eldest princess, you are in command of the Qianlong Group outside, but you don't know the current situation. Mandeli smiled on the side: "Childe, your status is getting higher and higher, and your martial arts are getting stronger and stronger, but your courage is getting smaller and smaller." Childe doesn't seem to be at ease with anyone, and seems to have forgotten how we all killed in the first place. β
Xiong Chu smiled awkwardly: "I can't be blamed for this, I can only blame the time passing too fast." In my impression, Zhou Chang and Zhou Xi, the two little guys, are still seven or eight years old when they were in Phoenix Village. Carefully calculated, they should be in their twenties, and they have indeed grown up. β
"It's good to know!" Mo Jiuniang said angrily: "You are now in your forties, and it is the matter of those little guys to kill them head-on." I just heard that my brother is going to personally attack the Dragon Mother Temple, it's unreasonable!"
"The eldest sister is too worried, there is absolutely no such thing. Xiong Chu hurriedly waved his hand: "I just said that, in fact, I didn't mean that." Let's talk about this, eldest sister, don't tell it, if Liqing and Lan'er know about it, I can't explain it. Let's get down to business, eldest sister, what's going on in Zhaoqing?"
Mo Jiuniang shook her head: "It's nothing, it's just that a unit suddenly appeared, called the Leizhou Battalion." The white scarf is masked, brave and invincible, and the number is about 80,000. The strange thing is that more than 80,000 of them are not only strong in martial arts, but also have exactly the same weapons and warships as ours. β
Xiong Chu frowned: "Eldest sister can't find out who they are?"
"The people who came forward to contact us have been masked, and they are strong in martial arts, and they have come and gone without a trace. Mo Jiuniang stood up, pushed open the window, pointed to the opposite side of the river and said, "Brother, please look over there, that mountain is called Baozhu Mountain, and there is a Taoist temple in the dense forest on the edge of the river, called White Crane Temple." β
"The news of Zhaoqing City came out of the White Crane Temple. The person I contacted was the deacon's disciple of the White Crane Temple, who was also masked in a white scarf. There is no doubt that the White Crane Temple should be a hidden stake in the Leizhou camp. I rushed over to see my brother to ask for advice, did I pull out this dark stake?"
Xiong Chu's eyesight is outstanding, and the Guijiang River is only a mile wide here, so he can vaguely see that in the dense forest on the other side of the river, there is indeed a corner of red walls and green tiles.
After pondering for a moment, Xiong Chu shook his head: "Wuzhou Mansion was not our territory, and the Leizhou camp should not be aimed at us if it established a hidden stake here." Although the Wuzhou Mansion is already in our hands, the overall situation is still undecided, and there is no conflict of interest between the Leizhou Battalion and us, so it may be better to maintain the status quo. β
Mo Jiuniang said: "What does it mean that there is no conflict of interest? All of Ding Kuichu's family property has been obtained by the Leizhou battalion, and they have occupied Qiongzhou Mansion, Leizhou Mansion, Qinzhou Mansion, Gaozhou Mansion, and Zhaoqing Mansion, with more than 80,000 elite troops, which is equivalent to half of Guangdong in their hands. β
Xiong Chu still shook his head: "Eldest sister, you can't say that." Before we sent our troops, we had already sent out a letter pointing out the main enemy at the moment, and the Manchu Tartars were the common goal. If you pull out the White Crane Temple, the Leizhou battalion will definitely take targeted actions to entangle with us. β
"In the event of war, our total strength in Guangxi is less than 40,000. Let's not talk about whether we can eat their elite 80,000 people in a short time, just provoking a civil war is not in line with the spirit of our inscriptions. This is a duplicitous practice, let's see. β
"I always felt that this white crane temple was a nail, but since my brother has decided, I just let people stare at it. Mo Jiuniang closed the window and turned around: "How to deal with Zhu Hengjia, Qu Shiyun, Zhang Tongchang and others?"
"Needless to say, Zhu Hengjia, there is no need to keep this kind of thing. Xiong Chu rubbed his hands and said: "Isn't Qu Shiyun the status of the governor of Guangxi, is there any possibility that he can be used by me? You know, what we lack most is local officials." β
"No!" Mo Jiuniang vetoed: "Let's not talk about whether Qu Shiyun can be used by me, even if he agrees to be our governor of Guangxi, it will definitely not be available!"
"Why?" Regarding Mo Jiuniang's attitude, Xiong Chu was a little stunned.
Mo Jiuniang took out the booklet in her arms and opened it again: "Qu Shiyun, the word Qitian, the number Jiaxuan, Jiangsu Chang Acquaintance, Wanli forty-four years and Ding Kuichu are on the same list as Jinshi, don't say this." But he was a student of Qian Qianyi, the leader of the Donglin Party, who had already surrendered to Duoduo in Nanjing. β
"Although Qu Shiyun does not have many bad deeds, he is not a talent, and he is useless except for being a vassal and elegant dancer. The most important point is that he was the governor of Guangxi appointed by Emperor Zhu Yousong of Hongguang, but when he was traveling on the road, his teacher Qian Qianyi had already betrayed the country and defected to the enemy, and Emperor Zhu Yousong of Hongguang was also captured. β
"Qu Shiyun is not a good thing, and he attacked Zhu Hengjia because he did not have the skill of establishing a dragon, and he could not obtain a high position. Ding Kuichu sent troops to attack Zhu Hengjia so quickly, because Qu Shiyun sent him a letter, wanting to join forces to support Zhu Youlang, the king of Yongsheng, and then fight against Zhu Yihai, the king of Lu in Hangzhou, and Zhu Yujian, the king of Tang in Fujian. β
"As for Zhang Tongchang, a native of Jiangling, Huguang, the great-grandson of the powerful minister Zhang Juzheng, a student of Qu Shiyun, and a descendant of the Donglin Party. This person is also incompetent, only learned Qu Shiyun's dance and ink, and has no practical talent. β
In order to overthrow Zhu Yousong and then replace him with an emperor who was beneficial to them, they successively created three bizarre cases, namely, the Great Compassion Demon Monk Case, the Fake Prince Case, and the Tong Concubine Case, and all the spearheads were aimed at Zhu Youxiang. β
"The conspiracy of the three major cases went bankrupt one after another, and Huang Zongxi, Lin Shizhen, Qian Bingrup and other Donglin party members still did not give up, and attacked all sides to create public opinion, slandering Zhu Yousong and his mother Zou as fakes, and they should not inherit the unification at all. β
"It was at this time that the Yangzhou tragedy occurred, and nearly a million people were slaughtered by the Manchu Tartars. On the surface, it was because Zhu Youxiang did not send reinforcements, but in fact it was the bane planted by the Donglin Party. β
On the one hand, Shi Kefa and others wanted to drive Zhu Youxiang down from the emperor's throne, and on the other hand, they wanted Zhu Youxiang to send reinforcements, which was originally contrary to basic common sense. If it were me, I wouldn't have been able to save someone who had gone out to kill him. β
In fact, the Donglin Party and the eunuch group are desperately competing for the position of commander of the army in each feudal town, and they all want to replace them with their own people. Zhu Youxiang didn't even sit firmly on the emperor's throne, even if he wanted to transfer troops, he was powerless, and no one listened to his edict. β
"The Donglin Party is bold and reckless for its own selfish interests, which is the root cause of the Yangzhou tragedy, and it is also the basic reason why Nanjing was captured and Zhu Youxiang was captured. Do we need the Donglin Party to come over and bring disaster to the country and the people?
Xiong Chu shook his head: "That's still different. Qu Shiyun and Zhang Tongchang's master and apprentice are both in the Donglin Party, which is contrary to our purpose, but they have not committed a crime after all. The eldest sister went down to talk to them, and if she wanted to go, she would let them go. If you are willing to stay, give a county order to do it. β
"But there is a principle to be made clear: the Donglin Party is absolutely not allowed to open a school, otherwise there will be no forgiveness. We have a special school system in the Ming Dynasty, mainly in agriculture and mulberry engineering. And without the approval of Master Sun Xueyi, no one can open a school hall privately. β
At this moment, Zhou Chang suddenly broke in with a person, and at the same time brought an astonishing piece of news, Xiong Chu could only put down the qiΔ in his hand and urgently went north.
