Two days later, after more than a dozen officers who had received silver notes from the imperial envoys were cleared out of the Tiger and Leopard Army, these people finally stopped this bribery operation that not only had no meaning but also gave Wei Zheng a large amount of silver notes. This book is made by

Looking at the more than 20,000 taels of silver that Wang Feng sent in his hand, Wei Zheng said with a smile: "Captain Wang, a total of 25,000 taels of silver is really an unexpected gain. I really didn't expect that these people would give our Tiger and Leopard Army a month's salary for free with just one small move. If these people hadn't noticed it, I really hope that they would continue this bribery and send us Tiger and Leopard Army more military salary."

Zhou Shuyuan next to him followed and reported...

"General, our conspiracy to peek at our firearm workshop has also been successfully resolved. In the past few days, no one has successfully walked out of our Mushrooms, let alone entered the firearm workshop we installed in the mountains and peeked at our new muskets."

"It's done well..." Wei Zheng shouted.

Then, he continued to instruct Zhou Shuyuan: "Military advisor, the firearm workshop is the foundation for our Tiger and Leopard Army to discover strength in the future. Therefore, we must strengthen the safety of the firearm workshop. When we have our own territory in the future, we must form a guard force specifically to defend the firearm workshop and other important places."

"Yes, General..."

Seeing Wei Zheng with a satisfied face in front of him, Zhou Shuyuan's face slowly showed a hint of shame on his face after a brief thought. He said to Wei Zheng: "General, when I received the imperial edict, I said you were a little too cautious. Now it seems that your caution is not wrong at all, because I was too careless. As you said, the court is now so decayed that it is uncontrollable. The Tartars have hit their doorsteps, and are still fighting for power and profit, which makes the soldiers on the front line feel disappointed."

Zhou Shuyuan's change in attitude was more valuable for Wei Zheng than the more than 20,000 taels of silver notes he had.

So, just after Zhou Shuyuan finished his words, Wei Zheng, with a smile on his face, said, "Military advisor, don't blame yourself. Besides, these small actions of the court not only did not cause us to lose anything, but also gave us more than 20,000 taels of silver notes in vain. To be honest, it was our Tiger and Leopard Army who made money."

Speaking of this, Wei Zheng seemed to have thought of something, and warned several subordinates whom he trusted most in the Tiger and Leopard Army: "Brothers, through this matter, I hope everyone can understand a truth. Our future is not in the court, nor can it be placed on the court. If you want to have a good future, you must rely on our own efforts."

"So, in the future development of our Tiger and Leopard Army, what we can trust is our own subordinates. We must be vigilant and be prepared for anyone else, including the court.

"Everyone should know that in this chaotic world, it is very likely that a small mistake will cause us brothers to fall into the abyss and even lose our lives."

Several people nodded deeply and replied: "Please rest assured, after this lesson, we will definitely remember it."

Suddenly, a report broke the atmosphere in the room. A captain who was responsible for receiving the imperial envoys hurried in.

After seeing Wei Zheng, he reported loudly: "General, the imperial envoy from the court asked us to hurry all the captains and above officers of the entire army to come to the General's Mansion early tomorrow morning. He had the military order of the General General of Zunhua to announce to us..."

"I announced the military order and summoned all the officers of our Tiger and Leopard Army... What do they mean? What have they done long ago? Why did we announce the general order when we read the imperial edict to us?" Wang Feng asked with confusion on his face.

Zhou Shuyuan frowned and said to Wei Zheng: "General, there must be something wrong here..."

"Look, we have just resolved their two conspiracies, and these people said they would announce to us the military orders of the General Zunhua Army. And they would also have to face everyone. At that time, if they were reading the orders, in front of the soldiers, and making things difficult for us in front of the court, what should we do?"

"I guess. This must be another conspiracy between these people..."

It is obvious that Zhou Shuyuan, who suffered a loss once, has gradually become cautious about the imperial envoys who read the imperial edicts. With a hint of suspicion, he continued to analyze Wei Zheng: "In order to prevent being deceived, I think we must be prepared."

Wei Zheng nodded affirmatively when analyzing the two. Then he said, "Based on my understanding of the court and these people, the reading of military orders tomorrow morning must be another conspiracy that they are unwilling to fail."

"Of course, as I just said, for the future of our Tiger and Leopard Army, we must be cautious in doing anything. Whether it is the conspiracy of these people or not, we must be prepared."

After saying that, Wei Zheng, who had already made a decision in his heart, ordered: "Go back and tell the imperial envoy immediately and let him come on time tomorrow morning..."

Early the next morning, the imperial envoy of the court hurriedly walked into the general's mansion with a dozen people. Except for Wei Zheng and Zhou Shuyuan, he did not see any other officers from the Tiger and Leopard Army.

Facing the frowning imperial envoy, Wei Zheng first said: "Please forgive me, Lord of the Imperial envoy. I just got the news that the Tartars in Zunhua City showed signs of invading my Mushroom Valley. In order to prevent the Tartars from attacking Mushroom Valley and hurting all the adults, I can only order officers at all levels to return to their troops immediately and prepare to face the enemy..."

The imperial envoy who was just about to show off his might in front of Wei Zheng, heard the words Tartars and swallowed back the words he was about to say. His face turned red just now, as if he was frightened, and instantly turned pale.

Then, he asked Wei Zheng stutteredly, "Master Wei...Tartars, the Tartars are really going to attack Moguyu again..."

"No way... Dorgon, who occupied Zunhua, was a vengeful person, and we still had his younger brother locked in our hands. Even if he had just lost to us once, he might send troops to us again..." Wei Zheng replied vaguely.

Then, he asked the imperial envoy in front of him, "I don't know what military orders you have brought to the Tiger and Leopard Army, just issue them to me directly."

At this moment, the imperial envoy, who had been scared by the Tartars mentioned by Wei Zheng, did not care whether his conspiracy could be achieved.

Now, he had only one idea in his mind, and immediately read out the military order and leave Mushroom Valley, so as not to be surrounded by Tartars.
