Chapter 1001 Anyone Can
If you can get your brother's handwritten letter, it is definitely not a secret agent from Zhou State to test him. Chen Mingxia realized that the person in front of him should be a detailed work of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhao Hao smiled and said, "I am Zhao Hao, the Xi'an Station officer of the Ming Military Information Department."
"Sure enough!" Chen Mingxia nodded with a calm face, "What do you want to do when you find me?"
Zhao Hao said: "Mr. Chen, I believe you know the current situation. The Ming Dynasty's unification of the world is irreversible. Anyone who hinders the Regent is just a mantis arm to block the chariot. Lord Chen is also a smart person, know how to choose!"
Chen Mingxia naturally knew about the current situation of Zhou State. He was also worried, and was very worried about the future of Zhou State and himself.
Not long ago, he wrote a letter to Wu Sangui, working hard and sprinkling 30,000 words, suggesting to reorganize the army and prepare for war, increase revenue and reduce expenditure, and defend Guanzhong to wait for the changes of the times.
However, the memorial was sent up, but there was no news, which disappointed Chen Mingxia very much.
He originally thought that Wu Sangui had no time to watch it. When he met yesterday, he took the opportunity to ask, but he had to say the reply with the word "know" which hit him a lot.
Today, when I saw Hong Chengchou's stupid actions again, Chen Mingxia felt that his future was bleak.
"You want this official to serve the Ming Dynasty!" Chen Mingxia looked calm. He had rich experience. For more than ten years, he had served in Ming, Shun, Qing, and Zhou. He understood his own background and knew it well, so he stopped pretending to be a chaste woman.
Zhao Hao nodded and smiled, "Mr. Chen understands!"
Chen Mingxia said with a blank expression: "What are the benefits of this official?"
Chen Mingxia was a famous scholar in Fushe in her early years and was famous when she was young. She was only in her 40s and was in her third-year high school.
This fame is actually quite difficult for him, so he is unwilling to give up his fame and fortune. In essence, he doesn't care. He can only get to the stage and opportunity as long as he is given to him.
"Mr. Chen is really a man!" Zhao Hao praised again, "The court agreed that if Lord Chen is willing to serve the court, he will be willing to hire Lord Chen in the original rank."
Chen Mingxia nodded without thinking for too long and said, "Okay, I promised you. Now you can tell me what I hope I will do?"
Zhao Hao was surprised by the smoothness of the conversation, but when he thought of Chen Mingxia's rich experience, he was not surprised. He really could do anyone.
"The court wants to deploy defense maps in Guanzhong!" Zhao Hao made a request.
Chen Mingxia nodded, "Yes!"
Zhao Hao said again: "There is another thing. The Military Information Department has obtained a piece of information from other places. Wu Sangui seems to be preparing to escape to the Western Regions. The Military Information Department needs Lord Chen's help to determine whether the news is true."
Recently, the Military Intelligence Department has obtained a lot of information from the Zhou State. At this time, Zhao Ming had just captured Hai Lanpao and just made a free move to pay attention to the affairs of the Zhou State.
When Zhao Ming saw it, he mentioned that when the war in Sichuan was at its most intense, Zhou State was still transporting supplies to the Western Regions, which immediately reminded Zhao Ming of the great escape of the Zhejiang man.
Knowing that the situation was hopeless, the transportation of gold, silver, materials, and talents from several southern provinces to the island undoubtedly laid a solid foundation for the later separatist rule and the rise of Taiwan's economy.
The gold and silver were transported away and the factory equipment was destroyed, which made the people's government obtain a land full of holes and a lot of rest to be developed after accepting the south.
Zhao Ming immediately became alert, worried that Wu Sangui would give him a victory and destroy the land in Guanzhong.
Therefore, Zhao Ming specifically explained the military situation and must figure it out and monitor Wu Sangui well and don’t let him empty Guanzhong, which is my territory.
"Escape to the Western Regions?" Chen Mingxia's heart was terrified, and she suddenly seemed to understand something, but Chen Mingxia did not reveal it immediately.
If the Ming Dynasty was too easy and obtained the information it wanted, it would not mean that it was difficult to obtain information, and the Ming Dynasty could not pay attention to its value.
"Not bad! Lord Chen is the deputy in the Ministry of War. If Wu Sangui wants to escape from Guanzhong, Lord Chen will definitely be able to detect some movements." Zhao Hao nodded.
Chen Mingxia said: "Okay, I promise you!"
Zhao Hao smiled and reached out his hand. Chen Mingxia was slightly stunned. He hesitantly stretched out his hand. Zhao Hao grabbed it and shook it hard.
...
After meeting with Zhao Hao, Chen Mingxia suddenly understood why Hong Chengchou did not reinforce Sichuan at the critical moment of the Sichuan War, but instead spent a lot of effort to transport family members and supplies to the Western Regions. He understood that after Sichuan fell and Guanzhong was under great pressure, he had to send new troops to the Western Regions to change defenses.
If Chen Mingxia is not wrong, Hong Chengchou is planning to transfer population, military capital and military to the Western Regions.
However, these are his speculations at the moment, and there is no conclusive evidence that Wu Sangui and Hong Chengchou are going to run away.
Thinking about what Hong Chengchou said that day and wanted to send him to Hedong, Chen Mingxia felt that his time was tight and he had to find evidence as soon as possible to prove his judgment.
After Chen Mingxia agreed to serve the Ming Dynasty, she first provided the Ming army with the Zhou army's defense map, and then focused on pursuing Wu Sangui's secret transfer of materials and troops to the Western Regions.
This is actually easy to check. Chen Mingxia soon discovered that among the people sent to the Western Regions a few months ago, in addition to the families of the Anxi and Beiting armies, more than a thousand craftsmen were mixed with a large amount of military resources.
The army that went to the Western Regions to change defense this time was also mixed with many craftsmen and the families of war generals.
All this shows that Hong Chengchou is indeed secretly transferring materials and troops.
A few days later, the Zhou Dynasty convened ministers to discuss matters in the palace, and Chen Mingxia was also among them.
Wu Sangui looked worried and said in a deep voice: "I just received an urgent report from the left prime minister. Junggar was encouraged by the Prince of Yarkand and led a large army to attack the Western Regions. At the moment, the Western Regions are in a hurry, and I am ready to increase the assistance to the Western Regions."
When Chen Mingxia heard the words, he thought to himself that as expected, the new army sent over, and the Anxi and Beiting armies did not have to return to Guanzhong, and they still needed to continue to increase troops to the Western Regions.
In the hall, ministers immediately opposed it, but Chen Mingxia did not speak out and allowed them to fight.
After the meeting, Chen Mingxia came out of the palace and was stopped by Hong Chengchou. He chatted for a few words, first returned to the yamen office, and returned to his mansion in the evening.
At this time, several servants changed his clothes for him, and he walked straight into the study and recruited someone. It was Zhao Hao, a military intelligence department who carefully wrote about it.
Zhao Hao looked at Chen Mingxia and asked, "Mr. Chen, what are you getting?"
Chen Mingxia first used a map to push Zhao Hao in front of him, and then said in a deep voice: "This is the Zhou army's defense map in Guanzhong. In addition, the news you have received is correct, and Wu Sangui is indeed preparing to flee west."
