Chapter 27 Hong Chengchou's Mission

I unexpectedly met Hong Chengchou so early.

This guy... is very capable. Although he is young, he is very patient and has some skills. He later joined the Qing Dynasty and fully assisted him in military and political affairs, conquering the world, stabilizing the situation, and eliminating resistance.

Then he was abandoned by his masters, guarded and refrigerated, but lived a very long life into the Kang Mazi era.

But now, he is still a Jinshi in the 44th year of Wanli, and he is half a newcomer serving in the Ministry of Punishment.

In short, this person is difficult to deal with. The two will definitely cooperate, but they will also definitely break up and fight...

Wang Hongyu was determined, and his whole person had a fierce hunting aura.

Hong Chengchou also noticed Wang Hongyu's slightly focused gaze, and felt a little chilled as if a prey was being targeted. However, the hidden cruelty in his heart came to mind, and he turned his head slightly to find out who had betrothed him.

Both of them have soldiers in their belly, and they are very young and dormant. It seems that fate will arrange for them to meet, grow, confront, and even fight decisively.

The two eyes almost met each other.

“Interesting~”

Among the crowd, Zhang Shenwu noticed the subtle situation and moved slightly, blocking half of Wang Hongyu's body, and met Hong Chengchou's gaze with a smile.

Realizing that it was not the hunting feeling just now, Hong Chengchou stopped thinking too much and focused on the mission of this trip to Tongzhou.

He had an important mission this time, and he was the only one among the three who was entrusted with an important task.

The three candidates, Yao Zongwen, Xu Guangqi, and Hong Chengchou, were carefully arranged by the first assistant Fang Congzhe.

It can handle the matter well and balance all parties without losing their tongue.

From the perspective of the imperial court headed by Fang Congzhe, Yao Zongwen took a position of criticizing the Sichuan soldiers and local soldiers in this incident. He was also a member of the Zhejiang Party, had a close relationship with him, and was a popular public official.

Xu Guangqi, who is also from the southeast, happened to be in the opposite position to Yao Zongwen in this matter. He personally participated in the actual combat drills. He had a good relationship with the Sichuan soldiers and local soldiers and determined that there would be no internal strife. Choosing him could balance Yao Zongwen so that outsiders would not think so.

I am too partial to one side.

On a deeper level, Xu Guangqi is a native of Shanghai, South Zhili Province, and he will not break up with the Zhejiang Party, and things will not worsen.

The first two people were relatively high-profile about the situation and had already made clear their stance and acted as a check and balance. The third person was the one who was responsible for the court's handling of the matter.

Emperor Wanli might be indifferent to other matters, but when it came to military matters, especially the Liaodong War and the Zhejiang Army, he would definitely continue to pay attention.

Therefore, Fang Congzhe has already figured out the holy will and wants to beat the armies...

Hong Chengchou...is from Fujian. He is young, has a weak foundation, and is very capable. He has been in office for exactly 4 years. He needs to accumulate merit and be promoted, so he can be used~

This is the way of officialdom.

Wang Hongyu was too focused on Hong Chengchou just now and ignored these subtle information for a while.

It happened that the second brother stopped him and let his thoughts return to his mind.

Everyone took their seats in the Sichuan Army tent. The commanders of several soldiers and horses sat in the front row. Wang Hongyu sat in the back row, where he could observe in secret and think calmly.

Through this observation, the clue gradually became clear.

Yao Zongwen was on good terms with the Zhejiang generals, Xu Guangqi was on good terms with everyone, and everything seemed peaceful when talking.

Hong Chengchou spoke very little and kept a low profile in front of everyone, but he was also observing everyone... and he was observing Zhang Shenwu and Wang Xueshu.

Wait a moment!

Hong Chengchou is currently the head of the Jiangxi Qing Li Department of the Ministry of Punishment, not Sichuan or Zhejiang... This shows that the imperial court is on guard against the Sichuan soldiers and Zhang Shenwu, even though there is no internal strife among the Sichuan soldiers.

Yao Zongwen and Gao Xueru severely criticized the Sichuan soldiers and brought out Zhang Shenwu's old accounts, saying that he was an expert in internal strife... The scholar-bureaucrats in the imperial court were always wary of the generals. Even if the Sichuan soldiers were not involved in internal strife, they were still wary.

The general wanted to use him to make meritorious deeds.

Good guy, co-authored military commanders are not only far lower in status than civilian officials, but they are also tools for promotion and wealth in the eyes of civilian officials.

However, they underestimated Zhang Shenwu. At this time, he, who was wary of the court, was talking and laughing freely...

On the contrary, one of the generals was sitting on pins and needles.

Of course it was Wang Xue Shu, the general of Jizhen who had a ulterior motive.

He thought that he participated in the conspiracy, but betrayed him in the end, and did not follow the plan at all, so that he did not dare to look at Yao Zongwen. Fortunately, the latter did not want to pursue the matter now, let alone show that they were related in front of everyone.

, so the scene was not too embarrassing.

But of course smart people can see it.

Hong Chengchou set his sights on Wang Xue Shu.

He was very low-key in the first half of the meeting, but in the second half the conversation was nonchalant and lukewarm.

However, Wang Xue Shu was quite nervous in the first half, but when he saw that nothing happened, he relaxed and started talking along with Hong Chengchou.

"General Wang Shen, this lie about the military situation shocked the court~" Hong Chengchou's eyes suddenly turned cold and he asked Wang Xue Shu with a smile.

"Ah!? There was a spy who instigated it, and it was reported like that from the beginning. Gao Xueru did all this, and now the truth has been revealed..." Wang Xueshu was suddenly asked this question, and he was a little unprepared and said a few more words

sentence.

Yao Zongwen glared at him coldly. Qin Liangyu and Zhang Mingshi also glared at him. All the Sichuan army generals also looked at him coldly. Wang Hongyu and Hong Chengchou even gave him deep looks.

this!

"Pap~"

Wang Xueshu was so frightened that he dropped the cup. He froze on the spot and explained that it was not the case, nor was he lowering his head.

"Haha, Your Majesty has personally arranged for the Jinyi Guards to capture Gao Xueru. Although General Wang can rest assured, he will definitely make him pay a heavy price~"

Hong Chengchou emphasized the words "don't worry", burying fear in his heart.

He is actually not in a hurry. The inside story of this matter is not the direct target this time, but if he can grasp it, it will be equivalent to holding the handle in the future.

This first blow was a beating, which served as a warning to the generals of Jizhen. Even with their eyes closed, the court could guess that they were more or less involved in the smuggling and crowding out of the guest troops.

Next, the real purpose of the imperial court was to have all the troops go to Liao quickly. If they stayed again and caused trouble, they would be dealt with severely according to the agreement.

"The Jizhen, Sichuan, Zhejiang, and Shizhu chieftain soldiers involved in this incident immediately broke camp and marched 80 miles north to Shunyi and set up camp in Pinggu area."

Hong Chengchou carried out the holy will speculated by Fang Congzhe and specially transferred soldiers and horses from the market to allow them to prepare for war with peace of mind.

Sichuan soldiers, Zhejiang soldiers, and white-pole soldiers were all prepared. But Wang Xueshu was so frightened that he didn't even remember how he left the venue.

I will definitely be held accountable!

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that Gao Xueru would be filled with hatred for his betrayal. As long as he was caught and told everything, he would be completely finished.

No! You need to find Ma Wenqing or Yao Zongwen quickly.

He was in a panic and couldn't sit still, but Wang Hongyu smiled.

"Don't blame me for not keeping alive, it's because you yourself didn't reveal any of your accomplices except Gao Xueru~"
