"Yes." Zhejiang soldiers took the order from Commander-in-Chief Zhao Hannian and left.
After hearing this, Qi Jin looked at Zhou Dunji and asked: "Zhou Shen has been in the Liao Dynasty for nearly three years. Does he know about Sun Qing's guerrilla situation?"
"Let me think about it... Sun Qing is a native of Liaodong and is currently a guerrilla general in Shenyang. He was originally a commander in Liao Town. However, the main force in Liao Town was wiped out in the battles of Fushun Pass and Sarhu. This man was promoted to the rank of Qian Commander due to the vacancy.
Xiong Jinglue didn't like this person at first and transferred him to the south. Because he had a good relationship with He Shixian, Yuan Jinglue came to power and promoted him to guerrillas. At present, his status in Shenyang City is only lower than that of He Shixian and You Shigong."
Zhou Dunji objectively introduced the situation to Chen Ce, Tong Zhongkui and other Confederate generals. Wang Hongyu also summarized the results of the spy screening these days.
"Over the past few days, each team has successively captured more than 100 refugees who have lied and concealed their crimes, which is enough for us to examine and torture. However, the situation in Shenyang City is not optimistic."
Chen Ce asked: "Oh? How do you say this?"
"We learned from the refugees through torture that some of those who did not lie had problems."
When Wang Hongyu said this, he was actually exaggerating. Those spies who were exposed through simple intimidation actually had a very low status and did not know about the refugees who were even more disguised.
However, some spies have extremely bad character. They will bite those who enter Shenyang after being tortured a little. If they are unhappy, they will drag those people into the water.
Especially after hearing the information about "local scholars in Shenyang", Wang Hongyu vaguely realized that Jiannu could not let go of such a scarce resource as scholars.
If that's the case, let's use their "testimonies" to make the real spies suffer~
"Do you have any suggestions?" Chen Ce and other generals of the Southern Army have already accepted Wang Hongyu's position as a wizard, think tank, and successor.
"People's hearts, Yuan Jinglue and General He are doing this to win over the local people's hearts. We only need to prove that the damage caused by spies to people's hearts is very terrible, and they will naturally become vigilant."
I see.
The Confederate generals suddenly woke up.
Instead of trying our best to stop it and encountering their opposition, it is better to adjust our thinking and take the right medicine.
Tong Zhongkui, who was relatively reckless and straightforward, became angrier the more he thought about it, and said angrily: "Alas! Yuan Jinglue and General He are the top civil and military leaders in Liaodong, and they are doing such nonsense. We can't train our troops to fight well, but we have to take great pains to do these things."
"General Tong's words are very true. I once tossed and turned and felt puzzled that the huge Ming Dynasty suffered several losses from the slave-building rebels who only had hundreds of thousands of people."
These words are what most people think, and they resonate.
Wang Hongyu changed the subject and said: "Then I figured it out, it's not that the Ming Dynasty was weak and the slaves were strong, but that the internal society of the Ming Dynasty was different. Not only is it impossible to integrate the power of the Ming Dynasty like Taizu did, but it is in a state of confusion due to internal conflicts.
In the court, civil servants formed cliques for personal gain, and engaged in ridiculous fights for status, family and reputation. Wu Xun also lost his ambition and became similar to civil servants. At the local level, they focused on land, money and tenants, and there was no Ming Dynasty and the world in their eyes.
The Ming Dynasty cannot use even one-tenth of its power, because the rest has become an internal contradiction.
The so-called rebirth of Jiannu is just a small but powerful leader who can use force, fear, ambition and the benefits of robbery to move hundreds of thousands of people in one direction."
These words were so eloquent that the Confederate generals were enlightened.
Tong Zhongkui became excited after hearing this: "That's so right! But we can't change this, right?"
Wang Hongyu continued his analysis to the Southern Army generals: "This requires us to clarify several goals to attract the majority of people."
Qin Bangping of the white pole soldier asked: "This is so difficult to do. How can I do it?"
Of course Wang Hongyu knew that it was easy to say but complicated to do, but he smiled confidently:
“Everyone has the same goal in beating up the Jiannu slaves, but the problem actually lies in perception, and this problem itself is affected by a series of influences such as origin, region, growth, status, and exposure environment.
For example, many people think that Jiannu are barbarians, and barbarians are backward, primitive and mentally retarded. They ignore that they themselves come from the elite rebels of Liao Town, ignore that they have long-term trade cooperation with Liaoyang and Shenyang, and ignore that they are united by force and ambition. So powerful."
Chen Ce, the commander-in-chief of the Southern Army, nodded. He heard the intelligence about the slave establishment in Guangdong and Sichuan, and it was like this. He did not face the fact that they were Li Chengliang's subordinates and originated from the Liao Town rebels.
Even he, a nearly 70-year-old veteran, thought so at first, and of course many civil servants would think so too.
"Wait a minute?" Qi Jin seemed to have heard something from Wang Hongyu's words, and his expression suddenly changed.
"General Qi, you found out that the civil servants and the generals of Liao Town have very different understandings of slave building, but they come together and adopt the same response method. What's strange?"
"exactly!"
Qi Jin not only thought of this, but also remembered that the massacre of the Qi family's army was also carried out by the two groups of civilian official Ma Wenqing and general soldier Wang Bao.
"Because their interests are close, the generals who know the truth will not tell the truth about the slaves for their own benefit, so they can continue to trade with the enemy.
And some civil servants were supported and flattered by them, and they simply turned a blind eye and even further delegated power to them. Of course, Xiong Jinglue is a counterexample. I believe that with Zhang Quan's supervision, Yuan Jinglue can also realize it."
Zhouzhou Dunji laughed and said: "Hey, if it hadn't been for this last sentence, I would have scolded you for talking nonsense."
All the generals laughed. They knew that Wang Hongyu had spoken out what was in everyone's heart, so they became less open-minded.
Moreover, the analysis was very thorough, and he made it clear to everyone that most people were unanimous in their stance on the crusade against the establishment of slaves. He also pointed out who might not sincerely fight against the establishment of slaves.
"Someone in Liao Town may have trade relations with Jiannu..." Tong Zhongkui spoke quickly. He and Wang Hongyu were the two leading the way, and everyone was also thinking.
"There are people in Liao Town who have been transferred from three places, and there are also people who have been living in Liaodong for a long time. I think the latter is more likely..."
"That's right. It's not that there are local problems, but that Nurhachi has long been close to the Liaodong generals..."
"Li Yongfang was an old acquaintance with Nurhachi back then. Later, his 3,000 guerrilla soldiers were much less than Nurhachi's 40,000 soldiers, so he surrendered directly..."
"This Sun Qing...could Sun Youyi be the same..."
"We know this matter well, just keep an eye on the information secretly." Wang Hongyu stopped talking. The generals chatted and laughed and talked about military training, then ended the discussion and went to busy with military matters.
Seeing Wang Hongyu gathering everyone together and pointing the direction, Zhou Dunji sighed in his heart that the third brother might really be able to make countless great contributions, restore his title and lead the generals to revitalize.
Old General Liu Wei was somewhat relieved to have such a close disciple.
Wang Hongyu suddenly thought of something and asked with serious eyes: "Brother, among the current generals in Liao Town, how many of them have been operating in Liaoyang and Shenyang for a long time?"
"There are so many people, but I'm afraid we can't tell who has contact with Jiannu."
"Then are there any descendants of Kaiyuan or Kaiyuan's army?"
"Oh? That's right!"
When Wang Hongyu asked, Zhou Dunji knew what his third brother was thinking.
"Third brother, do you want people from Kaiyuan to investigate this matter?"
"That's right!"
The eldest brother smiled and patted the third brother on the shoulder and said: "I see, Liao Town used to have two major trade zones, Liaoyang and Kaiyuan, especially the North and South Passes of Kaiyuan. Nurhaci has a close relationship with Liaoyang, but has a big relationship with Kaiyuan. hatred."
Wang Hongyu also nodded and said: "I remember that the Ma family in Kaiyuan were a group of people from Xuanda. It seems that they are really different from Liao Town. Now we can use the people left from Kaiyuan to find out who is collaborating with the enemy in Liaoyang and Shenyang. Brother, Are there any people in the army who have joined the original army?"
"Yes, Ma Biao, the son of Commander-in-Chief Ma Lin, is recuperating and idle in Guangning, and there are very few left."
After making up his mind, he asked Zhang Shenwu and Qin Ling to invite Ma Biao.
