Chapter 746: Suppressing the thief, suppressing the thief, which thief is suppressing?

When Zhang Zhun was busy at the Grand Governor's Office, there was a person who was also busy. This person was Yang Sichang, who was highly valued by Chongzhen. He replaced Lu Xiangsheng as prime minister of the five provinces and recently moved his headquarters to Baoding Prefecture, which attracted the attention of many interested people.

According to ancient customs, the fifth day of April is Qingming Festival, which is a festival for visiting graves. Every household in Baoding burns dark veins and paper-cut cold clothes. Inside and outside the city, there are often sad crying. The Tartars invaded the third time, really killed many people, and many people around Baoding Mansion were killed. In addition, the first two invasions killed their relatives, even more. Especially those refugees who hid in the city, they could not go home to worship their ancestors on the Qingming Festival. They were sad and even cried loudly. For a moment, the crying sounds in the city shook the sky.

However, the streets and alleys near the Governor's Headquarters were very quiet. Since Yang Sichang arrived in Baoding, this area has been full of guard posts, and no idle people are allowed to stay or hawk. Today, because a military meeting was to be held, it was more vigilant and quiet streets were implemented to cut off pedestrians. Those residents who were close to the headquarter had to go out of the city to sweep the graves and go out quietly. Those who wanted to cry at home did not dare to cry loudly.

Outside the gate, there were officers and soldiers, bright helmets and armor, swords, guns, swords and halberds shone coldly in the plain mist. Two large apricot and yellow flags hung on a pair of large flagpoles five or six meters high, the left one was embroidered with "General Salt Plum" and the right one was embroidered with "San Army Supervisor". These were all made by tailors in one day and one night.

In addition, two rows of flags are erected outside the gate, each row is five sides, opposite to each other, with a pole of one zhang and three feet high and seven feet in square, all of which are flame-shaped apricot and yellow flag edges, and the center of the flag is based on the color of the five directions. A flying tiger is embroidered in the center of each flag, and the color is stipulated according to the so-called principle of mutual generation of the five elements. For example, the flag representing the east is blue, while the flying tiger in the middle is embroidered in red, and the red flag in the south is red, and so on. These ten flags are called the flying tiger flag, which is the gate flag of the governor's head.

This street has been cut off from the public, and even the horses of civil and military officials have to stop ten feet away from the gate and walk over. The purpose of this is to increase the majesty of the governor. The senior civil officials of the Ming Dynasty especially liked this style, otherwise it would be difficult to shock those arrogant soldiers and generals.

"Dong!"

"Dong!"

"Dong!"

Three cannons sounded, and the gate opened wide.

From the gate to the lobby, there are two deep courtyards, one and two gates in the middle. Outside the second gate are eight guards. From the second gate to the steps of the lobby, there are two rows of guards standing on both sides of the wide stone paoyu road. There are many military flags of different colors and forms inserted in the two courtyards, embroidering colorful patterns according to the direction of the five elements and the myth of the twenty-eight constellations.

Under the stone steps outside the second gate, a huge tree next to a stone lion on the left, a central army seating flag made of dark green tribute satin is inlaid with a flame-shaped edge of white silk. The apricot and yellow tassels on the flagpole are five feet long, with tassels on top, and are decorated with pearls. A silver spear is exposed on the tassel. The center of the big flag is embroidered with red, surrounded by Bagua, and outside are the stars such as Dou, cow, room, heart, etc.

The lobby is called Baihu Hall, two seven-foot-long leopard tail flags are erected under the steps, and the head of the flagpole is a sharp blade. This is a sign of the important location of the military aircraft. This kind of flag is erected outside the door, and officials of all sizes are not allowed to be in the right place without orders from the commander. Violators are punished. If they encounter those serious commanders, they will be taken down on the spot, beheaded on the spot, and the heads are presented on the spot, which is completely possible. Yuan Chonghuan cut a guerrilla general like this. He was killed and he was killed. Others dare not even put a fart.

In the late Ming Dynasty, the commander's authority was not implemented and the military law was abolished, which became a common situation. Therefore, Yang Sichang started to be promoted to the tent today and tried his best to correct the old problems, instructing his subordinates in advance to make careful arrangements to show the power of the governor and the military officials and generals summoned felt this atmosphere, which was very different from Lu Xiangsheng's time in office and knew what he was afraid of.

After the first firing of cannons, civil and military officials entered the gate one after another, standing solemnly outside the second gate. After the second firing, military music was played inside the second gate. Yang Sichang was wearing a second-rank civil servant's fairy crane retardation uniform, wearing a jade belt on his waist, and a black hat on his head. He walked out from behind the screen surrounded by a large group of officials. He sat down behind the Nanmu Gong Case with a red satin brocade in the middle. Two young and handsome deacons stood on both sides holding Shangfang sword and the "Governor General's Auxiliary" seal, and the staff stood on both sides.

Emperor Chongzhen did spare no effort in supporting Yang Sichang. He understood that Yang Sichang could not enter the cabinet for the time being and could not have too much power. Ordinary military generals might not sell his account. Therefore, he specially granted Yang Sichang Shangfang Sword and gave him the power to kill first and then report. Such Shangfang Sword was not available, whether it was Chen Qiyu in the past or Hong Chengchou and Lu Xiangsheng in the future. This naturally added a bit of majesty to Yang Sichang.

The generals of the Ming Dynasty were originally very afraid of civil officials because of the practice of emphasizing civil servants over military affairs. Ordinary military generals did not dare to disobey civil servants' wishes. This was still the case even during the Apocalypse period. However, in the Chongzhen Dynasty, due to the use of troops everywhere, the court's dependence on military officials became increasingly heavy, which gradually changed the practice of emphasizing civil servants. Some powerful old military leaders became the targets of taboos for civil servants and generally did not dare to easily grasp them.

Chengqi official walked to the Baihu Hall and said a plea. The sound of thunder was heard inside the second gate. The civil and military officials who were waiting outside the second gate were led by the magistrate of Baoding Prefecture, followed by dozens of military supervisors, generals, deputy generals and generals, including dozens of civil and military officers, from east to west, and were divided into two groups. The civil and military officers were wearing men's uniforms according to their ranks, and the military generals were neatly armed, carrying bows and arrows and swords. The civil and military officials signed up to Yang Sichang in turn, standing up and waiting for the instruction.

Yang Sichang did not immediately give a speech, nor did he let everyone sit down. Because today was a special day, he first led all the civil and military officials to the north to pay tribute, and then ordered the civil and military officials to sit down. The military music stopped. The sound of the Baihu Hall and the courtyard were extremely quiet. Yang Sichang picked up his beard, swept everyone with his bright eyes, and then stood up slowly. All the civil and military officials stood up, bowed and lowered their hands, held their breath silently, waiting for the instruction. Yang Sichang cleared his throat and began to speak.

"I am loved by the emperor and in charge of military affairs. I should serve the emperor with death! Lu Xiangsheng is incompetent and misleading the country and the people! I am not willing to die! I have no choice but to die! The emperor has forgiven his life in large quantities! If I were him, I would die in shame!" Yang Sichang first quoted the emperor's oral order and severely derogated Lu Xiangsheng, with a very serious tone and expression.

The purpose of Yang Sichang doing this was of course to kill the chicken and show the monkey. Because a large part of the troops led by Lu Xiangsheng were the Tianxiong Army formed by Lu Xiangsheng himself, only Zuo Kuan and Zuo Liangyu did not belong to the Tianxiong Army. If Yang Sichang wanted to rectify the army, he would first take the Tianxiong Army. Emperor Chongzhen was also concerned about this Tianxiong Army, which was of private military nature.

He glanced at everyone with a cold look, and Yang Sichang continued: "I am deeply grateful to the emperor. I have swear to destroy the thieves with great responsibilities in the world. You may have received the kindness of the country in the world or be known by the emperor. You should work together to make up for your mistakes and repay Your Majesty. In the future, the main focus of suppressing thieves is to purify military discipline. If you have any merits and have any punishments, you will be punished. If you are ignoring military orders and are unable to fight effectively, this governor will have Shang Fang Jian, and the deputy generals and the subordinates will be deposed first and then reported. The deputy generals and above will be punished strictly, and they will never be lenient!"

Yang Sichang understood very well that in Chongzhen's mind, the Tartars were just a temporary brutal robber, and were a slim disease, which was not fatal to the Ming Dynasty. Because no matter how the Tartars burned, killed and looted in Northern Zhili, they would eventually go back to Liaodong and go outside the pass. Only the thieves in the mainland were the major troubles of the court and the most deadly enemy of the court. Therefore, Yang Sichang's great cause also started with suppressing the thieves.

Of course, this is also the meaning of avoiding the important. After all, it is absolutely impossible for the imperial army to collide with the Tartars face to face. Even the Liaodong cavalry that Gaoqian was defeated by the Tartars. His army had a serious shortage of cavalry, so why was it the opponent of the Tartars? Therefore, Yang Sichang did not mention the Tartars just now. Anyway, no matter whether the Ming army attacked or not, the Tartars would retreat. After the Tartars retreated, the imperial army faced a group of bandits.

Under the pressure of Shangfang's sword, the generals were shocked and dared not look up. Yang Sichang's new official took office for three fires, and of course no one would foolishly send him under Shangfang's sword. At the same time, someone quietly savored every sentence of Yang Sichang and pondered the meaning of each word in it. They felt that the new governor, the words just now, seemed to contain a lot of meaning. Could it be that the court was going to sit idly by the Tartars?

There is another army in Northern Zhili, that is, the Hu Ben Army led by Zhang Zhun. The Hu Ben Army and the Tartars did fight a lot of wars, and it is said that they did kill many Tartars. Since Yang Sichang did not mention the Tartars at all, did he say that the court was going to allow the Tartars to fight with the Tiger Army, and then he would accumulate energy by himself, waiting for the Tartars and the Tiger Army to suffer both losses, and then go up to get a bargain?

Such a plan seems to be beautiful. However, the cruel reality is that the Tartars suffered losses from the Hu Ben Army and turned around and came to trouble the Ming army. Gao Qiqian suffered a great loss. Therefore, it is difficult for the imperial army to completely observe the situation! If you don’t take the initiative to tease the Tartars, the Tartars are injured, but you have to come to the imperial army to heal them!

Yang Sichang gave another sentence, just to encourage everyone to rectify military discipline, be loyal to the country, save the people from the fire, and become the country's rejuvenation, etc. Regarding future combat strategies, he only said that for the sake of confidentiality, and then gave instructions separately. All the civil and military officials who attended the meeting were deeply impressed by Yang Sichang's auxiliary ministers and his lectures. Some were afraid, some were excited, and some were suspicious.

Of course, there are also people who feel uncomfortable inside. Some generals and officials think that Yang Sichang has no problem speaking. They speak well and talk endlessly, but it is hard to say when they really fight. Lu Xiangsheng himself speaks slowly, but he is very brave when fighting. No one wants his commander to be a man who only knows how to brag. Many people are not optimistic about Emperor Chongzhen's use of Yang Sichang to replace Lu Xiangsheng.

Most of the people who think this way are generals of the former Tianxiong Army. They fought with Lu Xiangsheng all the way and had a deep affection for Lu Xiangsheng. Lu Xiangsheng was arrested and imprisoned, so they were naturally implicated. Their military power was almost deprived and they became part of the people standing aside. Yang Sichang didn't like them, nor did they like Yang Sichang. However, under the roof, they had to bow their heads, so they had to endure it for the time being.

Originally they thought Lu Xiangsheng would die this time, and Lu Xiangsheng himself felt that there was no possibility of being released from prison. Unexpectedly, at the last moment, it was a turn of things, and Chongzhen actually forgives Lu Xiangsheng. Lu Xiangsheng was released from prison alive. However, they soon learned the truth. Lu Xiangsheng's life was bought by someone with a lot of money. This person is very likely Zhang Zhun. Gao Qiqian is just a cover, and the person who actually paid the money was Zhang Zhun of the Hu Ben Army.

No matter what reason Zhang Zhun wanted to save Lu Xiangsheng's life, Lu Xiangsheng survived. For the vast number of Tianxiong Army soldiers, this is indeed good news. However, for Yang Sichang, this news is not very good. Because of this reason, some of the original generals and officials of Tianxiong Army were closely monitored by Yang Sichang.

After the lecture, Yang Sichang glanced at everyone with a powerful eye, and ordered everyone to go down and rest, wait for the meeting, then left the seat, bowed to everyone, and retreated back to the inner courtyard surrounded by his staff. The civil and military officials bowed and handed over and left, and after he left, they retreated solemnly from the White Tiger Hall. Everyone dared not leave the Governor's Headquarters, waiting for the meeting. After a moment, Chengqi official walked out of the White Tiger Hall and whispered: "Please ask Lord Zuo, General of Huguang Town!"

Zuo Liangyu felt a little nervous inside, and hurriedly sorted out his clothes, and then went forward. He just felt that Yang Sichang's eyes had been surfing back and forth on his body many times, as if he was measuring something. He estimated that Yang Sichang was likely to summon him. Unexpectedly, his guess was really effective. I wonder if Yang Sichang was looking for him, was it a good thing or a bad thing?

Chengqiguan led Zuo Liangyu through the White Tiger Hall, and then through a courtyard, and came to the front of a small courtyard. Outside the moon gate of the small courtyard were two guards holding swords. The leopard tail flag that had just been inserted in front of the steps of the White Tiger Hall had moved here. Looking into the moon gate, there was a hall with brightness and darkness deep in the bamboo and wood. Although it was not very spacious, it was painted and carved beams, which were extremely exquisite. A plaque with red lacquer was hung in front of the hall, with Lu Xiangsheng's handwriting on it, and the words "Jietang" written by Lu Xiangsheng.

Zuo Liangyu felt both glorious and worried about his head being summoned. When Lu Xiang was promoted to Prime Minister, he had come here many times, but now he is in an unusual way. Unconsciously, Zuo Liangyu quietly slowed down and adjusted his breathing to calm his inner emotions. He could feel that some changes might occur in his destiny.

Suddenly, I heard a message from the official priest: "Zuozhen is here!" Then a "please" came from the hall! A deputy general of the central army came out of the courtyard, and another servant quickly picked up the scarlet satin black-edged plywood curtains in the hall. Zuo Liangyu took a few steps, and as soon as he climbed the three-story stone steps, he arched his hands and reported loudly: "Huguang General Zuo Liangyu met the Governor!" Then he entered the door and knelt down to salute.

Yang Sichang had already decided to use the method of "emotional and powerful" to control a powerful general like Zuo Liangyu, so he was not humble to his tribute, but just stood up and bowed back, with a smile on his face and said nothing. He was secretly looking at Zuo Liangyu, measuring the person's character, and wondering whether this person could use it for his own sake.

Under Lu Xiangsheng's command, there are two generals, which are very special. One is Zu Kuan, who is from Liaodong, with a deep background and most people cannot offend him. Lu Xiangsheng wants to govern Zu Kuan, but he is powerless. Zu Kuan is currently under the jurisdiction of Hong Chengchou, so Yang Sichang doesn't need to pay attention to it. The other is Zuo Liangyu in front of him.

Zuo Liangyu was also from Liaodong and also made his fortune in Liaodong. However, his relationship with the Liaodong Military Town was not particularly deep. This person's greatest ability was to strengthen men and expand the army. The general general officer had 10,000 or 20,000 people under him, which was already a lot. However, Zuo Liangyu's subordinates had 60,000 or 70,000 people, which was really terrifying.

"Zuozhen, sit down!"

Yang Sichang said calmly.

After Zuo Liangyu gave his tribute and sat down, Yang Sichang first asked about the recent combat situation, the lack of military quotas and military pay, and gave a brief instruction on some urgent issues. Zuo Liangyu told the Governor that there were more than 53,000 people under his command. Yang Sichang smiled softly, and then shouted in a slightly cordial tone: "General Kunshan!"

Zuo Liangyu quickly stood up, crossed her hands and said, "I dare not, sir."

Yang Sichang did not let Zuo Liangyu sit down, but continued, "Kunshan, you are a capable person, so Mr. Shangqiu Hou appointed the general in the army and placed him as a general in command of the army. It is a lesson for people to know people. However, since ancient times, those who are generals have always been arrogant and cannot cheer up their vitality and have won the reputation of the present. Whenever they read historical books, they often cover the book "

"Today is the time when the country is employed, and the general is also in his prime. In the future, they may be granted the title of Duke and Marquis, and be famous in history, or fail to live up to the country's kindness, and be disgraced, and they are all in the general's own business. Now God is wise and works hard to govern, and learn from his merits and demerits of his ministers. He will punish him if he is guilty. He will not borrow any vain, but want to be known to the general."

"The emperor was very angry at the defeat of Luohou Mountain. I think that the general has military achievements on weekdays, and is not comparable to other cowardly and jealous generals. He is only demoted to the general three levels without severe punishment, so he will be able to observe the future. After this Governor bowed his order, he reported to the emperor and said that you have the talent of a general and the soldiers are also available. I begged the emperor to give special grace to forgive his previous crimes, restore his original level, and grant you the title of general to suppress the enemy. He has been approved by the emperor."

"On the road, I wrote a memorial to the general, and I hope that the seal of the general will be issued soon. The general must make several great contributions to repay His Majesty's grace that was covered with heaven and earth, and will not let down the high expectations of this governor. The emperor's grace is so great that we must be crushed to pieces before we can repay it!"

Zuo Liangyu is from Liaodong and was promoted because of Hou Xun's appreciation. Although Hou Xun has a dead face, he is always half-dead in front of Chongzhen, but he is actually quite sensible. Therefore, Zuo Liangyu has always been very grateful to Hou Xun. Yang Sichang naturally understood this, so he lifted Hou Xun out as soon as he opened his mouth to show his closeness.

Because of Hou Xun, Zuo Liangyu belonged to Lu Xiangsheng's command and did not respect Lu Xiangsheng very much. Lu Xiangsheng did not like Zuo Liangyu very much. Because Zuo Liangyu, like Zu Kuan, both liked to kill Liang and make achievements. Originally, the bandits retreated and the local people were still good, but when the two of them came, the officers and soldiers were even more cruel than the bandits. Wherever they passed, they were almost blank.

Zuo Liangyu also likes to rape women, even better than Zu Kuan. Zuo Kuan envoys soldiers and kills some fish that escaped the net. Zuo Liangyu envoys soldiers and kills them, but he first surrounds the city and then kills them, and almost no one can escape. Therefore, Zuo Liangyu killed much more people than Zu Kuan. Lu Xiangsheng had these two people under his command, so it was impossible to do big things.

Yang Sichang didn't care about Zuo Liangyu's vicious killing character. In his opinion, as long as he could destroy the bandits, killing Liang and making achievements was not a big deal. Those local people who did not follow the bandits for the time being did not mean that they would not follow the bandits in the future. Since they might follow the bandits in the future, they would just kill them to eliminate future troubles. This is the so-called strategy of eliminating the roots. Kill all the people in the bandits' activity area, and the bandits would naturally be extinguished without the supply of soldiers.

Zuo Liangyu understood that Yang Sichang was recruiting him, so he knelt down and kowtowed, and said loudly: "This is the emperor's kindness and it is also cultivated by the Governor. Even if Liangyu is broken into pieces, it is difficult to repay. As for the matter of suppressing the thieves, the general has already established a purpose: there are thieves but no self, there are thieves without me. If you don't wipe out the thieves for a day, you will not be able to sleep or eat."

This is an unmistakable expression. I, Zuo Liangyu, have you, Yang Sichang. I have forgotten that dog thief Lu Xiangsheng. As for the Tartars, since you, the Governor, don't mention it, of course, I, as the general officer, will do it, and I will not mention it. If you want me to help you kill people desperately, then I will continue to kill people even more.

Yang Sichang achieved his goal of recruiting and felt better. He smiled and said, "Please get up in Kunshan. Please sit down and talk casually, without being too polite."

After Zuo Liangyu expressed his loyalty again, he stood up and said slowly: "I will thank you for your seat!"

Yang Sichang changed his tone and continued, "The general is loyal and righteous. I have heard of it. I heard that every time Kunshan passes Shangqiu, he will not avoid suspicion, and he will come to the hall to pay homage to the old Mr. Bitang, the old man of Taichang, and he will be very respectful to his children. If he stops this, it can also be seen that the general is loyal and kind, and he will repay his virtues and will not forget his old kindness."

Mr. Bitang is Hou Xun's father, whose name is Zhipu and whose courtesy name is Bitang, and his official name is Taichangqing during the Tianqi period. He was dismissed from his return because he offended Wei Zhongxian. Hou Xun was appointed as the Minister of War and was guarding Liaodong. He happened to know Zuo Liangyu, so he promoted him all the way. Zuo Liangyu had not forgotten his benefactor. As long as he had the chance, he would definitely express his gratitude to Hou Xun's father.

Zuo Liangyu replied respectfully: "If it were not cultivated by Lord Shangqiu, how could the last one be there? Although the last one does not read poetry and books and cannot read a few big words, I heard that Han Xin would never forget his kindness for a meal, let alone the Hou Mansion would have great kindness for the cultivation of the last one."

Yang Sichang nodded and expressed his approval, and smiled and said, "This Governor and Mr. Ruogu are close friends. I heard that Mr. Ruogu has a sage sorcerer named Fangyu and his name is Chaozong. Although he is young, his poetry and prose are already very good. Have you ever seen it in Kunshan?"

Zuo Liangyu hurriedly said, "At the end of three years ago, I will pass by Shangqiu and meet this eldest prince Hou."

Hou Fangyu mentioned by the two is Hou Xun's eldest son. Hou Xun's name is Ruogu, which should mean being humble. Hou Xun is known for his dead face and ignores everyone, even dealing with Emperor Chongzhen. However, his son is really handsome and elegant, and his literary talent. His most famous deeds are naturally entangled with Li Xiangjun, the eight beauties of Qinhuai.

Yang Sichang said with some regret: "I originally wanted to send someone to Shangqiu when I passed by Henan and asked my brother Chaozong Shi to come to Baoding to Zuoli Wenmo. Later, I heard on the way that he had gone to Nanjing, which was a coincidence."

After pausing for a moment, Yang Sichang suddenly asked: "In the general's opinion, what is the priority to suppress the thieves at present?"

Zuo Liangyu said without hesitation: "The most important thing is enough soldiers and enough wages."

Yang Sichang pondered for a moment and asked again: "What is the point in addition to sufficient soldiers and enough wages?"

Zuo Liangyu said casually: "Military officers are not afraid of death, civil servants do not love money."

Yang Sichang understood that the civil servants who said that they loved money were inspired by Lu Xiangsheng. Lu Xiangsheng generally used spiritual encouragement as the main body and material encouragement as the supplement. This made Zuo Liangyu feel very dissatisfied. How could Zuo Liangyu fill his personal pocket with a boss like Lu Xiangsheng? Zuo Liangyu hoped that Yang Sichang could get more money and food for the army so that he had the opportunity to put more money into his pocket. This military officer was not afraid of death, and civil servants did not love money. In ten words, it was completely fooling people.

But Yang Sichang seemed to have not heard it at all. Instead, he nodded gently and said slowly: "Kunshan, it is very important that military officers are not afraid of death, and civil servants do not love money, but it is only one aspect. In my opinion, the current situation of generals is really worrying. If the imperial authority is as powerful as the governor, but the governor's authority is not effective as the general, and the general's authority is not effective as the soldiers, even if the food is not short of shortage, how can we help? I hope that after the general returns to the defense area, we must be an example of the army and live up to our high expectations. If we can eliminate the habits of the general's arrogance and soldiers, we will not dare to take the national laws as a joke, and work together to work hard on the king's affairs. Even if there are ten Gao Yingxiang, one hundred Zhang Xianzhong, and one thousand Li Zicheng, why not be able to extinguish it!"

Zuo Liangyu said in his heart that we are in Northern Zhili, and there is still a long distance from Gao Yingxiang, Zhang Xianzhong, Li Zicheng and others. The Governor was obsessed with suppressing the thieves. Could it be that he was going back to the Central Plains and continue to fight against the bandits in Shaanxi? Suddenly, Zuo Liangyu thought of Zhang Zhun's name. He had a flash of inspiration. Could it be that the thief Yang Sichang mentioned was not Gao, Zhang, and Li, but Zhang Zhun? Who knew that when he thought of this, his thoughts were immediately interrupted.

Yang Sichang stared at him with a glittering eyes and said earnestly: "Kunshan, I am going to ask you to move to Daming Mansion."

Zuo Liangyu was suddenly a little surprised.

Move to Daming Mansion?

What to do when moving to Daming Mansion?

Deal with Zhang Zhun?

Although Zuo Liangyu likes to kill Liang and provoke women, he is not a fool. He is a figure who has struggled from the battlefield and knows some military strategy. When he hears that he wants to move to Daming Mansion, he knows that the court is going to deal with Zhang Zhun. What the court is most worried about now is that the Shaanxi bandits and Zhang Zhun collude with each other. If so, the bandits will be even more powerful. Zhang Zhun seems to be the 37th battalion of Shaanxi bandits. Yang Sichang wants to move to Daming Mansion himself to split the relationship between Zhang Zhun and Shaanxi bandits.

In addition, one of the purposes of moving to Daming Prefecture by himself was to prevent the Hu Ben Army from entering Henan. The Hu Ben Army had already occupied Jinan City. The next step was very likely to attack westward and occupy Changde Prefecture and other places in Henan. If the Hu Ben Army entered Henan, then the King Fu in Henan would definitely call for help again. Chongzhen made such a deployment in order to prevent the situation in Henan further deteriorating.

"Isn't this intentional asking me to die?"

"Am I a general who suppresses the thief or a general who dies?"

Zuo Liangyu said in her heart, unable to help but feel chilling.

Once he moved to Daming Mansion, he would be attacked by the Hu Ben Army and the Shaanxi bandits. Zuo Liangyu still had some confidence and courage to fight against the Shaanxi bandits and was not afraid of it. However, Zuo Liangyu had no clue in the heart of the Hu Ben Army. Even the Tartars were not the opponent of the Hu Ben Army. Why was Zuo Liangyu the opponent of the Hu Ben Army?

But, is it necessary to reject Yang Sichang? Zuo Liangyu smiled bitterly in his heart. At this time, it is definitely unwise to reject Yang Sichang. Needless to say, Yang Sichang's words must be based on the instructions of Emperor Chongzhen. Before the Tartars left, Emperor Chongzhen thought of inserting nails into the Hu Ben Army. And he was the unlucky nail.

Yang Sichang said solemnly: "The general is young and strong, so he should take advantage of this time to work hard to gain a reputation and keep it in history. Once the thieves are successfully suppressed, the court will be rewarded with marquis."

After hearing these words, Zuo Liangyu smiled even more bitterly. Since Yang Sichang had made up his mind to go to the Daming Mansion to garrison himself, he would definitely not dare to violate the order. The Governor’s Shangfang Sword can be taken first and then reported. There was no choice but to go to the Daming Mansion first before talking. He hurriedly pretended to be moved, and kept saying "swearing to serve the country to the death."

Yang Sichang was very satisfied with Zuo Liangyu's answer. He felt that Zuo Liangyu was quite tactful and defected to him in time. This person was still available. He smiled slightly, took the teacup, and whispered: "Please have tea!"

Zuo Liangyu knew that the summons had been completed, so he quickly bowed and said goodbye.

Yang Sichang only sent it outside the curtain, bowed his hand slightly, turned around and retreated to the hall.

After returning to the mansion, Zuo Liangyu didn't mean to be happy at all, but seemed very uneasy. Originally, the title of general was still very precious. There were many general officers who held the general rank, but few of them held the rank of generals. Because the number of general seals in the Ming Dynasty was very small and could not be repeated. One carrot and one pit was one, and there was no more.

However, when he thought of dealing with Zhang Zhun and wanting to survive between Zhang Zhun and Shaanxi bandits, Zuo Liangyu was in a bad mood. Zhang Zhun was a fierce tiger, and it was quite dangerous to block the tiger's road down the mountain. If he had not even lost his life, even if he was given a cavalry general, it would be useless!

"what to do?"

"what to do?"

"what to do?"
Chapter completed!
