Chapter 62: Shi Dakai's Unspeakable Concealment
Thank you for the tip of Gazing at Sea Stone, and thank you for the update ticket for Stone of the Holy Mountain. Xiaolang rushed a chapter overnight to repay the favor. Thank you both. By the way, I would like to collect and recommend it.
Xiang Rong signaled everyone to be quiet and said what he was thinking, "This time is different from the past. Not only did we lose tens of thousands of officers and soldiers, but we also exposed southern Jiangsu and Zhejiang to the front of the rebels. The important land for grain production is about to be lost. What is this?"
It’s all a crime of beheading and ransacking the house.”
When they heard that they were going to behead their heads and confiscate their homes, everyone fell silent. Xiang Rong sighed in disappointment and continued: "The defeat of the Jiangnan camp is my responsibility and has nothing to do with you. I will write a memorial to apologize to Your Majesty. From now on, the defense of Suzhou will be handed over to you."
To He Chun and Zhang Guoliang, what are your opinions?"
When Fuxing heard that the military power was handed over to the two of them, he immediately became unhappy. In terms of official position, he was on par with the governor of Liangjiang. It was just that Xiang Rong had the title of imperial envoy, so he obeyed his orders. Unexpectedly, he had to obey him now.
The two subordinate officers were playing around, and were very dissatisfied: "Your Majesty the Imperial Envoy! He Chun is just the admiral, and Zhang Guoliang has just been promoted to the rank of commander-in-chief. Isn't it appropriate for us to take orders from them?"
Pan An also complained: "We are all general soldiers and have the same qualifications. Why should we separate them into different ranks?"
When it comes to their own future, no one dares to be careless and shake their heads in opposition.
Xiang Rong laughed out loud and said sarcastically: "Do you think this is a difference of merit? The rebels are about to besiege the city. Do you hope that the city will be destroyed and everyone will be dead?"
Fuxing was still unconvinced: "Can the two of them hold Suzhou?"
Zhang Guoliang's eyes turned red and he swore: "I will live and die with Suzhou, and the gods will warn me."
He Chun was not to be outdone, "Since Master Meng values him, He Chun will retaliate with death and vows to live and die with Suzhou."
Seeing their resolute attitude, everyone dared not say anything more.
Xiang Rong finally let go of this worry and said to them humanely: "If you don't want to be in Suzhou, I won't force you, but I will leave Bing Yong to the two of them."
Seeing such a good thing, Fuxing hurriedly said: "I see that Zhejiang is in danger. I will immediately go to Hangzhou to arrange defense. Please allow me!"
Pan An said: "There are no generals in Jiaxing Prefecture, so the last general is willing to go and set up defenses."
Shaoxing...
…
Xiang Rong waved his hand and said: "You can go without worry, I will give you written orders. You can go back and prepare now. I have a few words to tell He Chun and Zhang Guoliang."
Fuxing and others went out excitedly and returned to their residences to pack their things.
Xiang Rong said to He Chun: "I plan to recommend you and me as the next imperial envoy to the imperial court to build the Jiangnan Camp."
Then he said to Zhang Guoliang: "I also recommend you to be the admiral of Jiangnan. You must be mentally prepared and don't blame me."
"I don't dare to be in a humble position, thank you so much for your training, Commander-in-Chief"
You guys should go back too, I'll be alone for a while.
Xiang Rong said to himself: I, Xiang Rong, have been in the military all my life. I don't know a few Chinese characters. I have been ups and downs three times. In the end, I was able to control a hundred thousand soldiers and horses as an imperial envoy. This life is not in vain.
Finally, he hanged himself in his room and died. He did not know that the imperial decree to demote him to three levels and keep him in office had already left the capital, and he was hurrying to Suzhou.
Li Yunzhong accompanied his three wives to have lunch, which consisted of three simple dishes and one soup. Seeing them enjoying the harmonious atmosphere, Xu Yuexiang let out crisp laughter from time to time.
Su Sanniang wiped away the rice grains from Xu Yuexiang's mouth with her handkerchief, and tapped her cheek, "Eat quickly, don't look around."
Xu Yuexiang made a face at Su Sanniang. Seeing that Su Sanniang wanted to teach her a lesson again, Xu Yuexiang quickly picked up the rice bowl and quickly scooped the rice into her mouth.
Li Yunzhong admired their fight and stopped him with a smile, "Sanniang, what did you just say? Someone broke into the palace without permission?"
"When you were fighting outside the city, several scholars came to the palace and said they wanted to get rid of you as a 'thief'. Hehe, if Yang Changmei and the others hadn't been so clever, they would have let them sneak into the backyard." Su Sanniang remembered.
I frowned at this, feeling that the majestic palace allowed a few scholars to break into it.
"They have all been brainwashed by the Qing government. Today's scholars bully the weak and fear the strong. When the Tatars entered the country and killed so many people, these scholars were afraid, so they surrendered and praised the Tatars. Now we practice benevolence and righteousness, but they come here
Whip us." Hong Xuanjiao looked down on scholars the most, "Husband, why don't we kill a few of them too to let them know they are afraid."
"This is not good, because they are not confused." Li Yunzhong, who came from a later generation, was always unwilling to kill innocent people. He also thought of the propaganda system of our party in later generations, and immediately had an idea, "I want us to set up a propaganda department to specifically promote the Tatar invasion.
How can we massacre the Han people in Guanshi and publicize their scandals so that people all over the world will hate the Tatars, so that our pressure will be much less."
Su Sanniang praised: "This is a good idea, but who can be responsible for this? Mr. Zuo?"
"Mr. Zuo, I plan to send him to Zhejiang. You, Xuanjiao, will be responsible for this matter, and Zhao Liewen will be your assistant." Li Yunzhong said to Hong Xuanjiao, who was very interested.
"But I still hold the position of commander of the Fourth Army. Why don't I let my eldest sister and the others do it?" Hong Xuanjiao is still willing to live in the army, even though the Fourth Army cannot go to the battlefield.
Su Sanniang advised: "You and I should both hand over our military power, lest anyone say that my husband only uses human beings for marriage."
Hong Xuanjiao also thought about the fact that the powerful generals in the army were either sworn brothers by their husbands or promoted by their own soldiers. If she and Sanniang occupied the position of army commander, they would be easily gossiped about. "Okay then, I agree."
Li Yunzhong held their hands moved and didn't know what to say for a moment.
On the opposite side, Xu Yuexiang also put down her bowls and chopsticks, ran behind Li Yunzhong and said, "I want it too," and hugged Li Yunzhong with both hands.
"Qi... Your Highness, King Yi wants to see you." Xiao Yunmei came in and saw this intimate scene, her face turned red.
Li Yunzhong stood up and said to them: "I'm going to see King Yi, you continue to eat."
Shi Dakai was restless in the study. He didn't know what to say when he saw the King of Han later. He had never begged anyone in his life, and besides, he admired the King of Han.
"Dakai, I know you have something to do when you come to Nanjing. Let's talk about it. I've been holding it back for so many days, so I'm not afraid of missing something!" As soon as Li Yunzhong entered the study, he saw Shi Dakai sighing and pacing back and forth, patting him in a funny way.
his shoulders.
Unexpectedly, Li Yunzhong took the initiative to propose, and Shi Dakai was surprised. He knew that the King of Han would definitely agree to his request, "Brother Dongwang sent me to contact you to send troops to Hubei together. I hope..."
"I hope I will give Hubei to him, don't you? I know Yang Xiuqing's character well, but he knows people well and uses them well. If I send someone else here, I will kick him out immediately. If he is just a good brother, then that's another matter."
Seeing that Shi Dakai was uneasy, Li Yunzhong still felt a sense of accomplishment, "Okay, don't worry, I agree to this condition!" Seeing Shi Dakai's face turned red and unable to speak, Li Yunzhong asked curiously: "Does Yang Xiuqing have any other requests?"
"This...this...is really embarrassing."
Li Yunzhong admired Yang Xiuqing for the first time. Seeing Shi Dakai lowering his head in shame, he persuaded: "How can a man act like a girl? Tell me, what does Yang Xiuqing want? For your sake, I agreed.
.”
Shi Dakai raised his head and stared at Li Yunzhong as if looking at his brother. He secretly thought that he must repay his brother in the future, and said loudly: "The King of Heaven has sent Lin Fengxiang and Li Kaifang to command 20,000 troops to attack Yandu in the north. I hope that you can send troops at the same time."
During the Northern Expedition, two armies went straight to Huanglong and destroyed the Qingyao."
