Chapter One Hundred and Fifty-Six Black Clouds Moving and Wind Rises (4)

The next day, Zhou Haoran took out a letter to Lin Gan, the shopkeeper of Sanjiang, and asked Fan Chengyang to take a look. When Fan Chengyang saw it, he knew that Zhou Haoran was afraid that his Qingyan's business would go back on his word, so he wrote a letter to tell Lin Gan about this. At the same time, he also asked Lin Gan for instructions. He made a promise of 10,000 taels of silver at the meeting, hoping to get Lin Gan's approval.

So Fan Chengyang wrote a handwritten letter to Lin Gan, reiterating his promise. In the letter, he praised Zhou Haoran, hoping that Lin Gan would let Zhou Haoran stay in Shanxi and seek common development.

After seeing Fan Chengyang finished writing, Zhou Haoran said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I'll send someone to send the letter to the Sanjiang Goods Store in Beijing. My people are walking slowly, and I'm afraid of delaying my brother's big business! My shopkeeper Lin is going to come to Beijing recently to take over the customer in the direction of Liaodong, Batong. Look..."

Fan Chengyang waved his hand domineeringly: "Zhang Ping'an did a good thing. The horses we used were all provided to the Ming Dynasty. This letter will be available to the capital within three days! Don't worry, brother, shopkeeper Lin Gan must be very satisfied with your performance in Shanxi!"

What Fan Chengyang did not expect was that Zhou Haoran had written the information in secret and wrote the blank space of this letter. Fan Chengyang became the courier who delivered the information.

.........

In the south city of Beijing, a medium-sized brothel is a derivative transaction of Wufu Warehouse. Zheng Tai, the shopkeeper of Wufu Warehouse, seemed to be in good mood today. He walked slowly to the brothel early in the morning. When the madam saw the owner coming, she quickly stepped forward to greet her.

Zheng Tai picked up the account book from the cabinet, put the abacus on it, and walked into the backyard. It seemed that the owner was here to check the accounts. His entourage replaced the turtle man who was holding the door and closed the yard gate.

He walked into the living room of the courtyard and saw a half-year-old child. This man in silk robe and dressed up by the rich family was Xu Yian, the commander of the Pouwu Army Investigation Office.

The two people around Xu Yian were Qu Guozheng who entered the house from a secret passage. There was also Lin Gan, a rising star in the business world in the Ming Dynasty. Zheng Tai knew that Zhang Dashuai was going to do a big thing.

"Zheng Tai is here, let's hurry up and have a meeting!"

After Xu Yian finished speaking, he took out a gold medal from his arms. This is a unique symbol of General Zhang of the Slave Army, which means that Xu Yian will unite the two major intelligence departments of the Slave Army this time and will work together to complete the emergency tasks assigned by the General.

"According to the latest information, the Eight Great Masters of Shanxi are preparing to cause trouble for us. They have found 50,000 thieves in Shaanxi and 20,000 local Woniu Mountain in Shanxi to attack Wanquandusi."

Xu Yian said, took out a map to expand it. His finger pointed to the east of Datong map.

"The Grand Marshal is here to teach them a lesson, and at the same time, he also needs to train troops! The Grand Marshal's instructions: Illegal the bandits in Woniu Mountain, and no one who lives is allowed to be let go! As for the bandits in Shaanxi, the Grand Marshal's strategy is to defeat their main force, capture the refugees who are with them, and let the bandit leader go!"

No one here doubts Marshal Zhang's ability to use troops. They believe that since Marshal Zhang has made up his mind, he will definitely achieve his goal. But how many war soldiers will be needed to complete the task!

As intelligence personnel, they all know their location. How to fight is not their concern. It is their responsibility to provide timely and reliable intelligence for the victory of the battle.

Therefore, none of the three of them spoke, and listened to Xu Yian’s next arrangement.

"Before I came to the capital, the general made specific arrangements for your division of labor. The national government is the bait for this battle, so follow me! Lin Gan is responsible for keeping an eye on the trends in Shanxi. Zheng Tai is responsible for the information in the capital. Focus on the latest trends of the court."

The first element of intelligence work is that silence is gold. So the three of them nodded and signaled to firmly implement the command of the Grandmaster.

"After the state government left the capital, the general adjusted Lin Gan's subordinates, and Lin Gan was later transferred to the command of the detective office. This was the general's order. Lin Gan, take a look, burn it after reading it!"

After seeing Zhang Dashuai's handwritten orders, Lin Gan nodded, tore Zhang Dashuai's orders into a few small pieces and swallowed them into his stomach.

............

One hundred and fifty miles east of Datong, a small place called Hejia Village has been deserted since Lin Danhan was in trouble.

But two days ago, it became lively. An army of nearly 10,000 people quietly filled this small mountain village. This unit had no flags or noisy. Only black armor could make familiar people guess the origin of this unit.

This is the mountain army of the Pou Nu Army led by Song Hu. This mixed formation may be the strongest combined force of the Pou Nu Army.

The heavy armored cavalry of the Pomu Army was once the leader of the Pofu Army. Although it was removed from the formation by General Zhang, it was reorganized this time. General Zhang's personal barracks teaching team has always been the toughest unit in the Ponu Army's style, and more than 2,000 people joined here this time.

Although the Pou Nu Army’s mountain troops are newly formed, they are veterans who have traveled to the battlefield. According to the training outline of Zhang Dashuai’s mountain troops, the special forces of the Pou Nu Army trained are the strongest army in the Pou Nu Army’s mountain war.

For this battle, General Zhang specially selected 300 mobile crossbows to cooperate with Song Hu to complete the battle deployment. However, Song Hu, the commander-in-chief of the troops, was a little nervous at this time.

He was afraid of letting down the trust of Marshal Zhang, so he spent a few days to carefully investigate the terrain and environment of the battlefield several times. The combat plan was also revised several times. It was not until Xu Yian heard the latest information that Song Hu was determined to finalize the final plan.

After receiving the information, Song Hu was very moved that the Grand Marshal is really a genius in war. When Zhang teaches everyone, he always talks about the victory or defeat of the battlefield. In fact, the result was determined long before the war. Only then did he have a real feeling.

The information sent by Xu Yian clearly explained the location, number of people, configuration of troops, and combat power of the opponents. Even the preferences and characteristics of the commander of the two groups of troops were used as reference information and attached to the back.

The strongest unit of the Slave Army and the most powerful intelligence supply. If he fails to complete the mission, he will be shameless to see others.

.........

The bait caravan led by Xu Yian has been walking slowly all the way since leaving Beijing City. This made the bandits who came to the robbery very anxious. They did not dare to march to Zhili, because doing so would lead to a strong backlash from the Ming court.

Even if the Ming army was incompetent, it would not allow the bandits to approach the capital. However, the bandits' actions to attack Wanquandusi still made the Ming court in chaos.

The young Emperor Tianqi was furious about this matter. Especially when the Shaanxi bandits advanced to Zhili, he was even more restless. His only straw now was his teacher Sun Chengzong. He wanted to hear something from Sun Chengzong, which was whether he could eliminate the threat of the bandits' union with the Mongolian Tartars.

After receiving the imperial edict from the platform, Sun Chengzong had already made plans in his mind. He came to the Meridian Gate in a sedan chair, crossed the stairs, passed through the winding corridors, and entered the hall with strict guards.

Emperor Tianqi felt much more at ease when he saw Sun Chengzong's calm face. His teacher often comforted him in military planning.

"Hurry to see the teacher and pour tea for him!"

After saying that, Emperor Zhu Youxiao of the Heavenly Qi walked off the dragon chaise and pulled Sun Chengzong's sleeve and cried: "Sir, what's wrong with the Ming Dynasty! Last year, the old Jurchen slaves attacked Guangning, and Mongolia broke Datong again. Finally, the sir drove them away. Just after the Spring Festival this year, the bandits merged with the Mongolian Tartars and advanced to Zhili. Could it be that I had to issue an edict to blame myself?"
