Chapter 681 things are clear
Li Zhang made a quick decision. After the personnel gathered, he immediately led his soldiers to the camp where Commander Yu lived. The place where he lived was also the core area of the Navy Camp. It was not far from Commander Yu's information. It was almost 4:00 am now, and the entire Navy Camp was silent, but it was soon disrupted by the footsteps of Li Zhang and the others.
There were many patrol soldiers in the camp. When they saw Li Zhang and the others coming in with murderous intent, they were immediately shocked. However, Li Zhang shouted loudly at this time: "Li Zhang, the Marquis of Dingbei, is ordered by the emperor to quell the rebellion. All the soldiers obey my orders, otherwise they will be treated as the rebels!"
Li Zhang came today with great momentum. The entire naval camp knew that the Dingbei Hou had come, and the upper class of the army had also seen him. So when the soldiers heard that the person who was leading the troops in front of him was Li Zhang, they were also stunned. Especially when they heard that Li Zhang actually led his army to suppress the rebellion, they were even more confused. However, they did not dare to stop it at this time. After all, if they were really treated as a rebel, they would be too unfair to die. Moreover, Li Zhang and others were murderous, which was definitely not a joke.
Li Zhang led his people through many levels, and no one dared to stop the entire naval camp, which made him sigh inwardly. He had just heard Dong Qing and Hu commanding them that the naval army was sluggish, but now he finally felt that he led his troops to the camp in the middle of the night, but no one could stop him. If he was placed in the border army, even if he had an imperial edict, he might have been taken down.
However, thanks to the slack military equipment of the navy, Li Zhang and the others rushed to the residence of Commander Yu. However, when Li Zhang arrived here, he was stopped because there was the personal guard of Commander Yu, and without Commander Yu's order, they would never let anyone in.
"Die the blocker!" Li Zhang did not say nonsense, and immediately shouted, and then the wild dog rushed over first. Five hundred imperial guards and 250 Hangzhou naval soldiers followed closely behind. In the blink of an eye, the two sides fought together, and screams and fighting sounded throughout the navy camp.
Li Zhang was also very nervous at this time. Although he had fought with the Dangxiang people with the army, he was mainly in the rear and had never been on the battlefield. However, in order to save his life, he could only bite the bullet and go to the scene. If Commander Yu really asked him to launch a mutiny, then all of them would die here.
Li Zhang's concerns were obviously redundant. Not to mention the more than 200 naval soldiers under Commander Hu, the 500 imperial guards he brought were all elite soldiers in the army. These people were all veterans who were rotated from border troops to capital, and their combat effectiveness was very strong. In contrast, the Quanzhou navy in front of him were like babies without the power to fight back, and they were dispersed in the blink of an eye.
Seeing this situation, Li Zhang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Then he killed him under the protection of the soldiers. In a short while, he came to Commander Yu's residence. The wild dog had just arrived. When Li Zhang came here, the wild dog raised a person from the room and threw it in front of Li Zhang and said, "Brother, catch it!"
"Marquis Dingbei, you... what do you mean?" Commander Yu, who was thrown, also struggled to stand up at this time, but was immediately pressed by the two imperial guards. He looked at Li Zhang with his eyes flashing at this time. Although the shouting loudly, he felt a sense of being fierce and cowardly on the inside.
"What does it mean?" Li Zhang sneered, then looked at the wild dog, and the wild dog immediately understood what Li Zhang meant. He immediately handed a piece of paper burned to Li Zhang and said, "When I came in just now, he was about to burn the letter, but fortunately I snatched it."
Li Zhang immediately took the letter and looked at it. Although the words in the corner of the letter were burned, it did not affect reading, and the content on the letter was not beyond his expectations. It was indeed a secret letter from Sun Li to Commander Yu, and the letter also directly told Commander Yu that Li Zhang was probably coming for them. If Sun Li fell, Commander Yu would not be able to escape, so he asked Commander Yu to find a way to kill people like him, even if he launched a mutiny.
"What a decisive person. If I were one step later, I'm afraid Commander Yu had already led the army and included the residence of this marquis?" Li Zhang squatted down at this time, and then shook the letter in his hand and said with a smile.
Commander Yu originally wanted to make a quibble, but now the evidence is conclusive and he cannot make a quibble at all. This made him feel like a deflated ball. Then he surrendered and begged: "Marquisition, please spare me. Although Mo Jiang received the letter, he never dared to hurt the Marquis. These are all Sun Li's instructions and have nothing to do with Mo Jiang!"
This commander is not a tough guy. In fact, the reason why he was able to do the commander is entirely based on the shade of his ancestors. He has always been timid. Even though he received Sun Li's letter just now, he was still hesitant because he did not dare to attack Li Zhang. However, he did not expect that Li Zhang would get the news and bring people to kill him, which made him arrest him without even the effort to destroy the letter.
"It doesn't matter whether you can spare your life or not. Everything will be decided by Your Majesty. However, if you are willing to commit crimes and make meritorious service, please point out who they participated in the Dong family massacre a few years ago, you may be able to save your life!" Li Zhang immediately said coldly again.
"I said, please give me the chance to commit crimes and make meritorious service!" Commander Yu immediately kowtowed and begged again, and then confessed all Sun Li and others back then.
Listening to Commander Yu's confession, Li Zhang couldn't help but frown. Although he was mentally prepared after listening to the wild dog's report, the real situation was even more serious than he thought. It turned out that the entire Quanzhou had formed a strict network of interests, and most of the officialdom in Quanzhou was involved. This situation also had a special name in later generations, called "collapse-style corruption".
Many years ago, Sun Li had already covered the sky in Quanzhou. Under his wooing, the whole country of Quanzhou had long been in a state of fusion. Officials and businessmen colluded to seek benefits for themselves, and their ambitions were getting bigger and bigger. In the end, they even focused on the profitable sea trade, and the Dong family was just one of the stumbling blocks they destroyed.
In fact, in order to survive, the Dong family had to offer a lot of filial piety to Sun Li and the vampires in the officialdom. However, Sun Li and others were still not satisfied. They wanted greater benefits, but the Dong family refused to give in. So Sun Li turned his attention to the Dong family's competitor, a group of Hu merchants in Quanzhou City. As a result, these Hu merchants were indeed extremely bold. Sun Li just spoke out the words, and these Hu merchants organized people to destroy the entire Dong family in one fell swoop during the Chinese New Year, and then divided the Dong family's business, which led to the subsequent events.
