After the meeting dispersed, Fan Wencheng walked out of the political hall with a cheerful face. However, he did not show off his pride and returned directly to his home. During this period, he did not communicate with Huang Taiji.
While some people are proud, others are naturally sad. Li Yongfang has been watching Fan Wencheng's back closely from behind, with sparks about to appear in his eyes.
In such an important meeting today, Li Yongfang, who always regarded himself as the leader of the Han Dynasty, did not say a word. This time, Fan Wencheng took the lead. Not to mention how depressed he was, this was really earth-shaking.
The bad scholar dared to sit on his neck and shit.
What makes him even more sad is that the Great Khan, who has always relied heavily on him, did not ask him for advice. This makes him extremely uneasy. Am I going to lose the trust of the Great Khan?
This is not okay, we must not let this happen. He was the first city commander to betray the Ming Dynasty and surrender to the slaves. He has no way out except trying his best to please the old slaves.
Unexpectedly, someone started to seize power from his hands, which shocked him greatly, but he did not pay attention to a poor and rotten scholar.
When everyone else was busy with their work, Li Yongfang returned to the main hall where the old slave lived. He wanted to explain the stakes. Only he, Li Yongfang, was the best candidate.
The old slave seemed to have expected it and did not leave the council hall at all.
When Li Yongfang entered the room for the second time, he knelt on the ground with a pop and said with a cry and choked with sobs:
"Great Khan, this expedition is of great importance. I think that Fan Wencheng should not be entrusted with the important task. Although he is also from Liaodong, in terms of his familiarity with Liaoshen, he cannot compare with me.
ah!"
Why doesn't the old slave know this? Li Yongfang's family has been serving in Liaodong for generations, and he knows the inside of Liaodong's Ming generals best. He really needs to be relied on to capture important towns such as Liaoshen and Shen.
It's just that what happened today was something he did intentionally. Li Yongfang helped him conquer several cities and won a few battles, and then he started to feel so good that he almost didn't recognize himself.
Although in his eyes he also believed in the winner-takes-all approach, he still had to look at who he was, and Li Yongfang was just a domestic dog he kept in captivity.
"I know your loyalty and talent, but sometimes you need to give others a chance. Fan Wencheng has followed me for so long and has worked hard without complaint. He deserves a chance from me."
Hearing this, Li Yongfang became extremely nervous. He originally thought that if he came here to play the emotional card, Dahan would consider his past achievements and re-appoint him, but he didn't expect that things were completely opposite to what he thought.
"Well, just go and assist Huang Taiji with the logistics of preparing the army for the expedition. Those generals from the Ming Dynasty who have written letters with you will still be yours to contact and instigate rebellion!"
Upon hearing this, Li Yongfang kowtowed repeatedly and shouted:
"Slave, thank you Khan!"
Li Yongfang will definitely seize this opportunity. Even if he is a slave, he must be the number one slave among the Han officials.
…
…
The storm was about to come, and the Ming Dynasty, which seemed peaceful and stable, was in the midst of turmoil. There was no place in the southwest, south of the Yangtze River, and Liaodong where Zhu Youxiao could sleep peacefully.
The day after the Southern Expedition Corps set out to march south, Zhu Youxiao received a report from Guangning Councilor Fu Zonglong.
Lao Nu once again mobilized his troops and directly sent four-banner slave soldiers to surround Shenyang City. Xiong Tingbi, who was stationed in the city, did not act rashly.
The situation in Liaoyang was even more dangerous than in Shenyang, because the city suddenly ran out of food, and all the major grain merchants closed their doors collectively, causing great panic among the people.
If Li Songping hadn't been in charge of the city and ordered the 10,000 elite troops from the Left Guard Army to guard all the important intersections and gates in the city, Liaoyang would have been in chaos and out of control.
In order to calm people's hearts and prevent the people from panic, Li Songping started a part-time job as a businessman. He took out half of the military rations in Zuowei Army Town and sold them at normal prices.
At the same time, Jin Yiwei was responsible for recording. People in each block were stipulated that they could only buy in one place, and they could only buy for one day at a time. As expected, it soon had a remarkable effect.
Zhu Youxiao always attached great importance to the defense lines and strategic positions of the two important towns of Liaoning and Shenyang, so every time he allocated food to Xiong Tingbi and Li Songping, it was enough to feed the garrison in the two cities for three months.
As this was not enough, Li Songping immediately started a large-scale inspection. He closed all the doors tightly and ordered his sergeants to block off streets one by one. Then the Jinyi guards conducted food searches from house to house, mainly targeting the big families.
This was a secret order given to him by Zhu Youxiao. Whenever an emergency occurred, the city would be immediately closed and the big households and families in the city would be controlled.
All civil and military officers in Liaoyang City must be under his control. If anyone resists and disobeys orders, Li Songping has the right to imprison him. If he resists seriously, he will be killed.
The Liao generals had a good plan. They first used the most important food as a breakthrough point to cause chaos in the city. After Lao Nu's army arrived, they gathered their own servants to seize the city gate and cooperated inside and outside to break open Liaoyang City.
But what they didn't expect was that Li Songping's response was so fast. They had just started, and the army immediately took control of various strategic points and blocked all streets. Their agreed upon plan was directly disrupted.
And the most fatal thing was that Li Songping actually carried out arrests one by one, saying that there were a large number of slave-building traitors in the city, but they all knew that they were here for them.
The big generals and families are as anxious as ants on a hot pot. They have dozens and hundreds of dead servants hidden in their homes, and a warehouse full of armor. If they are found out, they will all be exterminated. A great sin.
As the sound of horses' hooves and the clash of armor in the streets became more frequent and heavier, these generals who were slaving and selling their country became more and more nervous.
These voices seemed to be black and white impermanence coming to claim their lives, getting closer and closer to them.
In the evening, Qu Qinqi, who lived in the prosperous district, finally couldn't bear it any longer. He took advantage of the nightfall and suddenly rushed out with more than 200 servants and went straight to the government office where Li Songping was commanding.
Other generals who were relatively close to each other could faintly hear the sounds of swords and armor clashing with each other at home, and their hearts tightened and they bravely rushed out of their homes with their servants to support the rebels.
The main street just three kilometers away from the government office quickly fell into a melee. More and more generals participated in the direct rebellion. The number of rebels increased sharply, reaching more than a thousand people in just half an hour.
The rebel generals saw that they could not fight head-on, so they simply refused to stop, looting and setting fire everywhere to create chaos, and brought the people together in order to strengthen their power. As long as they persisted for a few hours, the Jianzhou army would arrive, and then their
