Chapter 426: Peach Blossoms Destroy the Capital (4)
Zhu Zhengshan, the sixth-rank chief of the Ministry of War, actually slapped Xu Xianchun, the commander of the fourth-rank Jinyiwei. This unexpected surprise scared both sides of the opposing side. However, Zheng Tai here saw the true meaning of Zhu Zhengshan doing this. Zhu Zhengshan used his actions to express his attitude, that is, he no longer swayed in the officialdom and turned his whole heart to the arms of Po Nubo. Zheng Tai was of course very happy about this. Over the years, he finally had the real family of the Po Nujun army in the Ming Dynasty.
Since he was his own person, when Xu Xianchun, who had reacted, wanted to fight back, Zheng Tai stood up from the chair. He raised his right hand, and the guards immediately stopped provoking, and clearly divided the labor and kept the door on the door and surveillance, just like fighting against the enemy on the battlefield. The guards were automatically divided into several small round formations, and more than ten of them rushed to Xu Xianchun. As long as Xu Xianchun had any movement, the wooden sticks in their hands would greet Xu Xianchun. The captain of the Jinyiwei Guard obviously reacted one step slower. The three guards of the Ponucheng Xuanwei envoy surrounded Xu Xianchun, while the others were on guard in the outer circle.
When Xu Xianchun saw the situation of Xuanwei, the guards in Ponucheng, and his blue round face with five handprints immediately filled with smiles. He pointed his intact right face at Zhu Zhengshan and said, "Mr. Zhu misunderstood! Brother, you are wronged for a moment. If you still feel unhappy, just hit me a few more times? Mr. Zhu wants to calm down, just hit me!"
"Stop talking nonsense! Where did you lock up Yuan Yao? Do you still want me to find him?" Zhu Zhengshan is now full of confidence. Xu Xianchun spoke very poorly, and Zhu Zhengshan did not forget the Yuan Yao family who was arrested with him. Zheng Tai felt a little unhappy when he heard Zhu Zhengshan say this. He couldn't help but secretly scold Zhu Zhengshan for being more fond of his friends. The Xuanwei envoy of the Ponucheng led people to rescue him. Zhu Zhengshan didn't say a word of thanks. The Yuan Yao family who caused trouble became the person Zhu Zhengshan cared the most.
When Xu Xianchun ordered the release of the people again, Zheng Tai was shocked by her charming appearance when she saw Yuan Yao's family. Zheng Tai once again sighed secretly: Fortunately, Marshal Zhang was not here, and if Marshal Zhang saw this woman, he would be moved. In any case, Zhu Zhengshan and his mistress were successfully rescued, and Zhu Zhengshan's future future will be firmly tied to the Possess Army.

That night, the Jinyiwei reported the memorial of the rebellion of the Xuanwei envoy of the Ponucheng, and went to the Inner Court Lijian. Soon, Yang Xi, the young supervisor of the Silijian, sent the copy of the memorial to the desk of Wei Zhongxian, the eunuch of the Dongchang. After seeing this memorial, Wei Zhongxian was furious. Wei Zhongxian had a premonition that the matter was not good. The Ponu army led by Zhang Ping'an defeated Lin Danhan of the Mongolian again and made hundreds of long-lived locks with gold seized. Ponubao submitted the memorial saying: Hearing that the Empress Defei of the Emperor's harem was pregnant, I wish the emperor in advance a happy dragon son. The hundred long-lived locks meant a thousand years of long-lived locks. Congratulations to the Ming Dynasty for another virtuous king.
Although it was a bit too early for Po Nubo to take the team in advance, the Ming Dynasty’s chief was to establish the eldest son and establish the legitimate position. As long as Concubine De gave birth to a prince, Po Nubo would steal the first prize. Sure enough, Po Nubo’s memorial made Emperor Tianqi happy and praised Po Nubo Zhang Ping'an’s meeting. At this time, the Jinyiwei found trouble for Po Nubo’s Xuanwei at the time. As long as the Po Nubo’s army outside the pass was strong, the Ming Dynasty had no ability to suppress Po Nubo’s military strength, the Ming court could only take pacification strategies to treat Po Nubo.
Thinking of this, Wei Zhongxian gave the Lijian to the Lijian, asking the Lijian to reject the memorial of the Jinyiwei, and fined Xu Xianchun a hundred taels of silver as a warning. The Xuanwei of the Ponucheng made a big fuss in the Jinyiwei yamen, and ended with the defeat of the Jinyiwei. The Jinyiwei was defeated by the Xuanwei envoy again, which triggered a series of reactions. Many small officials in the capital who had no hope of promotion and lacked a backer, in order to avoid the battle between the eunuch party and the Donglin party, all went to the Xuanwei envoy of the Ponucheng. They had already asked the Xuanwei envoy of the Ponucheng to protect them.
Zheng Tai and his colleagues in the capital were always confused about the actions of Zhang Dashen. It was not until the second tribute convoy of Ponucheng arrived in the capital and brought the memorial of Lu Xiangsheng, the commander of the Xuanwei envoy of Ponucheng, that they found the answer. In Lu Xiangsheng's memorial, Ponu Bo clearly proposed to the Ming court that the items and quantity of items were given back, including the medicinal materials for treating trauma on the battlefield and the huge amount of sulfur required for sulfur, which made the few people in the Xuanwei envoy of Ponucheng smell the strong atmosphere of war.
They were all speculating that General Zhang of the Pou Nu Army might have another big fight. Sure enough, shortly after Song Meixin submitted Lu Xiangsheng's memorial to the court, the memorial sent by the Ming Dynasty a few days later immediately made the entire court very excited. In the memorial of the Ming Dynasty, the first example was that the civil and military officials of the Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty watched a large area of territory in the Ming Dynasty and did not do anything for several years. As a foreign vassal of the Ming Dynasty, he was extremely angry when he saw that the civil and military officials of the Liaodong embezzled the wealth of the people of the Ming Dynasty but were not enterprising.
Po Nubo asked the Ming Dynasty court to agree to him to lead the army to conquer the Jiannu of Liaodong. During the decisive battle between the Po Nu army and the Jiannu of Jurchen, Po Nubo hoped that the Ming Dynasty court would select a respected person to replace Gao Di as the governor of Liaodong. In the memorial, Po Nubo also set the location of the decisive battle with the Jurchens on the Korqin Grassland in Mongolia. In the memorial, his strategic plan was introduced in detail, that is, after the Jurchens' main force was eliminated on the Korqin Grassland, he went straight to Shenyang, the old nest of the Jurchens in Liaodong (the Jurchens were called Shengjing).
Po Nubo was still in the memorial and strongly demanded that the Ming Dynasty court recover the hometown passed down from his ancestors. Po Nubo's army would send a large army to Guangning City. The Po Nubo's army would break through Guangning City and hand it over to the Ming Dynasty's official army to guard it. Several heads of the intelligence-related missionary in the Beijing yamen of the Xuanwei envoy of Po Nubo were frightened and sweated. Doesn't Zhang know that the Jurchens had a lot of detailed writings in the capital? Isn't he afraid that the Jurchens would know his strategy?
Zheng Tai, Chu Tianshou and Song Meixin had not participated in the specific battle, so although they were nervous, they still reported the memorial of Zhang Dashen to the court. In the hearts of the three of them, Zhang Dashen must have a profound plan for doing this, and they only need to implement the instructions of Zhang Dashen. Fortunately, there were many officers who followed Zhang Dashen in the guards of Xuanwei Envoy. After Zhang Dashen’s memorial was made public, they all speculated that Zhang Dashen would use fraud against the Jurchen slave again.
They all said that judging from the cunning use of Zhang Dashen, what can be disclosed is basically fake. It seems that the focus of Zhang Dashen’s use of troops should be Guangning. The speculation of these veterans dispelled Zheng Tai and the others’ inner doubts. Zhang Dashen is worthy of being a grassland jackal. Maybe the Guangning that everyone speculated about is not necessarily the target of Zhang Dashen. Since you can’t guess Zhang Dashen’s strategy, Zheng Tai and the others don’t have to have a headache. They helped Zhang Dashen complete his errands in the capital, which is the best support for Zhang Dashen.
Zheng Tai and his friends also received a handwritten order from Zhang Dashuai. In the order, Zhang Dashuai predicted that there would be a mutiny between officers and soldiers in Shandong. He ordered Zheng Tai and the others to evacuate the Po Nu Army personnel in Shandong in advance. At the same time, he asked the two major intelligence departments of the Po Nu Army to work closely together to rescue the artillery casting in Dengzhou during the mutiny in Shandong. This major plan must now be prepared in advance and will be presided over by Xu Yian, the commander of the Detective Office in Nanzhili. This time, the tributes were escorted to make up and the elite troops of the Po Nu Army who were guarding were dispersed into Wuqiao County, Hejian Prefecture, and ambushed and waited for the time being. The Po Nu City Xuanwei Envoy Department stationed in Beijing to properly place it.
After reading the order of Zhang Dashuai, Zheng Tai couldn't help but shook his head secretly. It seemed that in addition to the Intelligence Department and the Detective Office, Zhang Dashuai also had another intelligence team. With such a major intelligence, the two major intelligence systems of the Po Slave Army had made mistakes. It seemed that Qu Guozheng and Xu Yian had to be scolded by Zhang Dashuai again. Zheng Tai and the others didn't find it difficult to deal with the errands of Zhang Dashuai. As long as they use Po Slave Boss as cover, not to mention 1,300 people, it would be fine to arrange 3,000 people.
At this time, Zheng Tai became more and more admiring foresight of Marshal Zhang. A few days ago, the battle between the Xuanwei envoy and the Jinyiwei warned the Jinyiwei not to hinder the Ponu Army's work. There were spies bought by the Ponu Army in the Jinyiwei and the East Factory. As long as the Jinyiwei and the East Factory had some trouble, the Xuanwei envoy of the Ponu Army could get the news. Brothers from the Intelligence Department of the Ponu Army or the Operation Team of the Detective Office could make the tracked Jinyiwei missing. Although Zheng Tai and the others were sure, Zheng Tai and Chu Tianshou still held two days of secret discussions and pondered in detail all the prone links. Finally, Chu Tianshou personally handled the matter in the name of inspecting the Yin Guangju Yin Building in Northern Zhili, and Zheng Tai was in charge of the capital to monitor the Dongfang and Jinyiwei.
The Xuanwei envoy of the Ponucheng ordered Zhang Damao to arrange the orders of General Zhang in a intensive manner. At the beginning, the Ming court was deeply moved by Ponubo's profound wisdom and righteousness. However, Ponubo's reputation seemed to be a little bad. Gu Bingqian, the chief assistant of the court's cabinet, was very suspicious of Ponubo's memorial. Although this memorial was finally in the hands of Emperor Tianqi, there was a tacit understanding between the cabinet and the Silijian. They unanimously believed that the memorial of Ponubo's Zhang Ping'an was fake. Emperor Tianqi, who received the memorial of Ponubo, was doubtful about the suggestions of the cabinet and the Silijian.
Since Sun Chengzong retired, Wei Zhongxian's party has targeted the attack on Ye Xianggao, the chief assistant of the cabinet. Under the full attack of Wei Zhongxian's party, Ye Xianggao was forced to retire. Gu Bingqian, the second assistant of the cabinet, took office and became the chief assistant of the Ming Dynasty. After Wei Zhongxian pushed Gu Bingqian to the chief assistant, Wei Zhongxian was happy, but Emperor Tianqi became vigilant. No matter how loyal Wei Zhongxian showed his loyalty in front of the emperor, when his sect was too powerful, the emperor naturally became suspicious of Wei Zhongxian.
Soon, Emperor Tianqi issued a memorial, saying that the year was approaching, and whenever he passed by his youth in the palace, he would be grateful to the teachings of several gentlemen. Now, he specially invited Sun Chengzong, a teacher who had retired from home, to come to Beijing to share the friendship between teachers and students. (To be continued)
