Chapter three hundred and sixty third poison
(Thanks again for "Umming Juelli" for his four support! Your support is my motivation for writing!!!)
Li Chengdong was shocked when he heard Tong Tuchang bragging about magic snails. He didn't know that this was completely a double-faced spy Tong Tuchang bragging about it. Li Chengdong, as a city-based man, had heard of the famous name of Jinyiwei, and believed that these guys could do everything.
Li Chengdong asked in a low voice: "What do you know?"
"Elder General, I know you are in a bad relationship with Tong Guonai, and I also know that Tong Guonai wants to find an opportunity to kill you father and son, and then control your 50,000 army!"
Li Chengdong took a deep breath of air conditioning. He and Tong Guonai had been in a relationship for a long time. Anyone who was interested could know this, but few people knew about Tong Guonai's decision to deal with him. Li Chengdong also came to the conclusion through some small actions of Tong Guonai. Unexpectedly, Guangdong, which was thousands of miles away, had known the news.
Li Chengdong said: "Since that's the case, how can Zhu Hongsan save me?"
"It's very simple. The Emperor Shenwu of the Ming Dynasty has trained 500,000 new troops and 100,000 soldiers in Chaozhou Prefecture. As long as the Old General Li raises the banner of righteousness and promotes the Yi army, our Guangdong new army will immediately go forward to Fujian to support the veteran general. The Emperor Shenwu of the Ming Dynasty has promised that as long as the veteran general is indecent, he will be appointed as the Prince of Jianning, and will be hereditary and retire with the country!"
After hearing Tong Tuchang talk about the conditions, Li Chengdong laughed and said, "Your Emperor Zhu Hongsan is really good at bragging, and you have 500,000 new troops? I have been bringing soldiers for a lifetime, and now I am almost unable to maintain the 50,000 troops in my hands. Can you create 500,000 new troops in Guangdong?"
The cowhide was exposed by Li Chengdong, Tong Tuchang's big radish face was neither red nor white, and he sneered: "Elder General, have you heard of the war in Ganzhou? Jin Shenghuan's 100,000 troops were defeated by us 7,000 people. This should be true!"
This news is true, but now the news is so bizarre that Li Chengdong doesn't believe that Jin Shenghuan can be defeated by 7,000 people.
"I don't believe it. Jin Shenghuan can't fight or let you wipe it out. This news is also released by you!"
Seeing that Li Chengdong didn't believe it, Tong Tuchang had to say: "Even if these are fake, Tong Guonai will deal with you, it's true. At that time, we are the only ones who can help the old general. The old general should know!"
Li Chengdong was told about the central matter by Tong Tuchang. He lowered his head and thought for a while, and said, "Sir, stay in the city for a few days first, let me think about what to do! Bo Yu, see off the guests!"
When Li Yuanyin heard his father say this, he quickly sent Tong Tuchang out.
Tong Tuchang left the study and whispered to Li Yuanyin: "Son-in-law, I see that your father is already thinking about it. We need to prepare both sides of us!"
"My uncle, please tell me, what should I do?"
"Son-in-law, get me more than a dozen sets of military uniforms for your army. I have some staff, but it is difficult to move in the city without military uniforms. You must also step up your persuasion to persuade your father. I will lead people to collect information outside. I will notify you if there is any abnormal movement on Tong Guonai. We will take the initiative at that time!"
Li Yuanyin nodded and said, "The military uniform is simple. Where can I send it to you where my uncle lives!"
"I now live in Houguan Town, twenty miles outside the city. You can find us by asking Hou Zhen's outside."
Li Yuanyin nodded, said he would write it down, and then sent Tong Tuchang out of the corner gate.
When Li Yuanyin went back, he came to Li Chengdong's study again and saw his father asking: "Father, he has sent him out of the mansion and has left his contact information! But my father, Guangdong has very generous conditions, why don't he agree!"
Li Chengdong sighed and said, "Boyu, you are still too young. You only see that Zhu Hongsan is generous to us. That's because our father and son are useful. You know, we killed his wife. This kind of revenge is not something you can forget. I don't believe that Zhu Hongsan has the mind of Cao Cao and can treat us well!"
"But why did my father agree to Tong Tuchang before talking about it?"
"Now we have a good deck of cards in our hands, so we must not all push to that side. You must know that it is a chaotic world, and only the army is everything. I promised Tong Tuchang to see it before talking about the conditions with him. We must keep our army. It is best to leave this to you like Yunnan, the Muwangfushi Town of Yunnan. You can go and talk to Tong Tuchang."
Li Yuanyin thought for a while and asked, "What if Guangdong doesn't agree?"
Li Chengdong sneered and said, "If you don't agree, don't blame me. I will hand over Tong Tuchang to Tong Guonai. In this way, the Qing Dynasty can ensure the safety of our father and son!"
When Li Yuanyin heard Li Chengdong's vicious abacus, his heart trembled and thought that Tong Tuchang was Yu'er's uncle. He must protect his safety no matter how he said that, and he must not let Yu'er be sad.
Li Chengdong's wishful thinking Tong Tuchang knew very well, it was nothing more than just walking on two boats, and both sides were good. Tong Tuchang was also a person who had been in the officialdom. Although he was not as smooth as his uncle Tong Yangjia, it was still okay to see Li Chengdong's routine clearly.
Tong Tuchang returned to Houguan Town. When Wang Xian saw Tong Tuchang coming back, he quickly came out to ask about the situation.
"Mr. Tong, I heard that you were left behind by Li Yuanyin. How is it? What is the result of the negotiation?"
Tong Tuchang shook his head and said, "No, Li Chengdong still wants to step on two boats!"
Wang Xian frowned and said, "What should I do?"
Tong Tuchang pulled Wang Xian into the house and said, "The next step is to need Lord Wang. If he wants to step on two boats, we will let him step on it!"
"As soon as Lord Tong told me, what should we do?"
"For this first, Li Yuanyin and I have asked for more than a dozen sets of their military uniforms. You will bring a few people into the city these days to find opportunities to conflict with the Eight Banners of Manchuria, so that Li Chengdong's subordinates will become opposed to the Manchurians!"
Wang Xian said: "This is simple. Let's find a few Manchus with families, rape his wife and daughter and then frame Li Chengdong's people! Or set up a fairy to jump and kill a few Manchu bastards. This is a master of the method!"
Tong Tuchang's eyelids twitched when he heard this. It seemed that Qian Lide had sent Wang Xian to come. This guy was so suitable for this.
"But Lord Tong, what if this doesn't work? If Li Chengdong suppresses his subordinates, we can't do anything!"
Tong Tuchang laughed and said, "This is needed. Do you know that I am also responsible for inquiring about the news for the Qing Dynasty governor. Li Chengdong is rude and I don't mind giving the emperor's imperial edict to Tong Guonai. I don't believe that Li Chengdong won't do it immediately?"
Wang Xian was sweating coldly when he heard Tong Tuchang's poisonous plan, and he thought to himself that Lord Qian was right, and these stinky old men were all in a bad mood. The emperor's imperial edict to enthrone Li Chengdong could be better if he fell into Tong Guonai's hands, but Li Chengdong had no choice but to rebel.
After the two of them made a plan here, they began to prepare their own hands.
Just when Tong Tuchang and Wang Xian were discussing how to poison Li Chengdong, a loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty, Zhao Mengguan, who was far away in Nanchang, Jiangxi, was racking his brains to harm Jin Shenghuan and Wang Deren.
The road from Guangdong to Nanchang, Jiangxi is much harder to walk, but fortunately, the road is under the control of the Guangdong New Army, and only after passing Ganzhou can it enter the Qing Dynasty's controlled area. Jiang Yueguang, the governor of Jiangxi who set out in Guangdong at the same time as Zhao Mengguan, was in Ganzhou. Jiang Yueguang wanted to coordinate with Zhang Jiayu to release 30,000 Jin Shenghuan's people. Jiang Yueguang and Jin Shenghuan have already discussed that these 30,000 people should not enter Nanchang, and all hide in Jilong Mountain 30 miles outside Nanchang waiting for Jin Shenghuan's orders.
In name, Jiang Yueguang was the commander of Huguang and Jiangxi, but Zhu Hongsan gave Zhao Mengguan the order to obey Zhao Jiayu's command. Therefore, after Zhao Mengguan arrived in Ganzhou, he did not go to see his nominal superior Jiang Yueguang, but directly paid a visit to Zhang Jiayu.
If the Guangdong Shenwu regime is divided into Guangdong faction and Huguang faction in the court, it will also be divided into two factions in the Jinyiwei. Wang Xian is the representative of the Huguang faction, and Zhao Mengguan, who was born in Guangdong, is the representative of the Guangdong faction. Because he was born in Guangdong at the same time, Zhao Mengguan and Zhang Jiayu have a natural sense of closeness.
Both Zhang Jiayu and Zhao Mengguan were from Dongguan, but the Zhang family was a big landlord in Dongguan, and Zhao Mengguan was just a hundred households in Dongguan back then. But today, Zhang Jiayu knew that Zhao Mengguan was not as arrogant as a scholar when he came, but came to the door of the second hall to greet Zhao Mengguan in person.
Seeing his boss treating him like this, Zhao Mengguan was shocked and quickly knelt down on one knee to salute. He was not a scholar, and he dared not take big things in front of Zhang Jiayu, a big celebrity in front of the emperor.
Zhang Jiayu helped Zhao Mengguan up and said with a smile: "Get up quickly, we are still fellow villagers!"
Of course, Zhao Mengguan knew that he was a fellow villager with Zhang Jiayu. During the Hongwu period, the Zhao family was named the hereditary Jinyiwei Qianhu for their merits. At that time, he lived in Dongguan. However, when Zhao Mengguan was in trouble, he became more and more successful. Zhao Mengguan had no money to bribe the Nanzhen Fushi Office's documents, so he had to stay in the Dongguan County Government to serve as a 100 household in the Dongguan County Government. However, since Zhu Hongsan occupied Dongguan, Zhao Mengguan relied on a big tree. When Zhu Hongsan sent troops to Annan, Zhao Mengguan immediately stepped forward and volunteered to go to Annan to take charge of intelligence work, which left a deep impression on Zhu Hongsan. So when the Luzon war ended, Zhu Hongsan transferred Zhao Mengguan back and served as one of the fourteen important 1,000 households in the Jinyiwei Fushi Office.
Zhao Meng locked up and said he didn't dare. Zhang Jiayu pulled Zhao Mengguan into the house with his hands. The two sat down. Zhang Jiayu said, "Zhao Qianhu, this time His Majesty sent you to Nanchang, do you know your mission?"
"The villain knows that it is to let King Jin Shenghuan Deren and the others make up as soon as possible."
Zhang Jiayu nodded and said, "This is the main task, and there is another task that the emperor did not say, but I have the emperor's secret decree here, you can see!"
After Zhang Jiayu said that, he took out a bright yellow order from his arms and handed it to Zhao Mengguan.
Zhao Mengguan knew that the imperial edict was an imperial edict issued by the emperor without passing through the cabinet, so he quickly stood up and took it over and opened it and took it carefully.
The imperial edict is very simple, which is to let Zhao Mengguan go to Ganzhou to fully listen to Zhang Jiayu's orders and not violate it.
After reading it, Zhao Mengguan handed his hands to Zhang Jiayu and asked, "I have read the secret order. I wonder what Lord Zhang has to arrange for the villain to do it?"
