Chapter 1021 Betrayal(1/2)
"What?"
"The three rebel armies in the south also surrendered to Guan Ning?"
Everyone in the court looked horrified.
After Guan Ning raised his army, many rebel armies rebelled in the south.
Some are green forest bandits, some are river bandits, in short they are all miscellaneous.
In the name of uprising, their scales ranged from large to small. Some were wiped out when they first started revolting, while others gradually gained momentum.
Three of them have formed a large scale and are always difficult to exterminate. The total number of them is tens of thousands.
They are causing trouble in the south.
Emperor Longjing's order was to recruit as many people as possible, so that they could be recruited and used by the court.
Seizing the opportunity to cause chaos is not just about seeking money and officialdom. These people also have little vision and can just make a small promise.
The imperial court has been sending people to contact them, and also sent local officials to make peace. There has been progress.
Two of them even received gifts from the imperial court. Why did they suddenly submit to Guan Ning?
"impossible!"
"This is impossible!"
Emperor Long Jing said directly: "Guan Ning's area of activity has always been in the north. The rebel armies in the south have no contact with Guan Ning. How could he be recruited by Guan Ning?"
"Did Guan Ning send someone to contact him privately?"
"It's impossible!"
Emperor Long Jing looked in disbelief.
This was a bolt from the blue, just adding salt to the wound!
They originally wanted to move south because the south was safe and within the control of the imperial court, and now there are people from Guan Ning.
Simply outrageous.
The group of people who just advocated moving south have thought about this.
The south is not safe, so what will happen if we move there?
"what is going on?"
Emperor Long Jing sat up and asked angrily.
"impossible!"
Gao Lian then spoke: "I personally sent envoys to negotiate with them. They also accepted gifts and agreed to accept Zhao'an. Why did they change?"
Several people's eyes were focused on the person who came in to report.
This man's name is Huo Tong, a minister of the Ministry of War, and the official in charge of military intelligence affairs.
There must be no problem with his information.
Huo Tong said: "Because these three rebel armies are not ordinary people, and behind them is Tianyilou!"
"Tianyi floor?"
"Tianyi floor?"
Hearing this, some people looked suspicious, and some were extremely surprised.
Because many officials have never heard of this name and feel unfamiliar with it.
But Emperor Longjing was the latter.
"Tianyi floor?"
"If they had not been wiped out long ago, how could they still have such great power, and how could they submit to Guan Ning?"
Gao Lian looked suspicious.
As a veteran of the DPRK, he knew a lot of inside information.
Tianyilou is not only a political power, but also has a lot of entanglements with the imperial court. Its leader was once His Majesty's concubine, and she was also a noble concubine second only to the Queen...
No one dares to mention these secrets, and many traces have been eliminated...
He subconsciously looked at Emperor Long Jing.
I saw that His Majesty's face was ashen and gloomy to the extreme.
Three cunning rabbit holes!
He has always known that Tianyi Tower has not been truly wiped out, and has been sending Du Wusi to clear it out, but there has been no progress.
The Tianyi Building suffered heavy damage and was just surviving, but I didn't expect that they were still secretly controlling such a powerful force?
Have you surrendered to Guan Ning?
"These three rebel armies have made high-profile announcements and have joined forces to attack the city and occupy territory..."
"Enough!"
Emperor Long Jing directly interrupted Huo Tong's detailed report, and he could no longer listen.
"Damn it!"
"Damn it!"
He roared angrily.
Suddenly he seemed to remember something and asked again: "Have these three rebel armies received gifts from the court?"
"Two items were collected, and two more were collected."
Gao Lian also looked ugly and said: "At that time, in order to recruit people, the court also showed sincerity and agreed to their request. At first, I thought they were greedy, but now it seems that it was intentional..."
"Damn it!"
"ah!"
"I'm so angry!"
Emperor Long Jing roared unwillingly and collapsed on the dragon chair in anger, panting heavily.
Originally, the imperial court had a chance to wipe out these rebel armies.
The South did not fall into chaos and was always under the control of the imperial court.
He was thinking that the imperial court was short of troops and was eager to replenish them, so he began to recruit troops.
This eliminates the need to spend money on military expenditures to send troops to clear out the enemy, and it can also replenish troops. As long as they are recruited and transferred to the north immediately, even if they are used as cannon fodder.
This was originally a multi-purpose thing.
In accordance with his imperial order, the suppression army in the south stopped attacking and instead sent officials to negotiate with them.
These rebels are not honest. They are asking for money and officials.
The local officials were so angry that they requested an extermination.
Emperor Shilong Jing called a halt in time and agreed to it first if there were any conditions. Under the current situation, the most important thing is to have large-scale troops.
These people were greedy and asked for money many times. They gave it twice in order to successfully recruit people, and they paid a lot.
As a result, he has now surrendered to Guan Ning.
In other words, he raised troops for Guan Ning!
Is there anything more heartbreaking than this?
Emperor Long Jing was going to be furious.
He really doesn't know what Duwusi does for food?
Haven't you discovered what's hidden on the first floor of Tianyi for so long?
Today's Dakang has really become a broken house with air leakage everywhere!
The entire north is occupied by Guan Ning, and there is also a problem in the south...
"Damn it!"
Emperor Long Jing's complexion began to turn pale.
"Your Majesty, please take care of your dragon body."
Eunuch Liu Yu hurriedly knelt down.
"Your Majesty, please take care of the dragon body."
All the courtiers looked anxious.
Emperor Longjing's condition has been extremely poor these days, or in other words, he has never been peaceful since Guan Ning raised his army.
His face is getting older day by day, his energy is getting worse and worse, and he has become an old man.
This kind of blow is indeed too great, and no one can accept it.
To be continued...
