Zu Zefa on the side felt his scalp numb and his whole body trembling!
horrible!
These people are so scary.
How could there be such a cruel person who could actually kick someone away with just one kick?
How much strength does this require?
Zu Zefa looked at the miserable Wu Sangui and then at the unfocused Chen Mu.
When he found that the other party was looking at him, he trembled with fright and glanced away.
He has scary eyes and is a ruthless person.
He can't afford it!
But Zu Zefa, who was pretending to be an ostrich, could not escape Chen Mu's questioning.
Seeing how cowardly this guy was, Chen Mu chuckled and asked, "General Zu, if I give you 50,000 elite soldiers carrying these muskets and a hundred artillery pieces, can you annihilate the Jiannu slaves in Liaodong?"
Zu Zefa had cold sweat on his forehead. He saw Chen Mu slowly walking over. He took a few deep breaths and then said: "If I had such a magical weapon, I would definitely be able to annihilate all the Jiannu slaves in Liaodong!"
Chen Mu smiled and patted this guy on the shoulder: "You are sensible! Why are you nervous? I am not a man-eating monster."
Zuzefa's shoulder muscles tensed up and he smiled: "You are truly so powerful, you are so powerful. When I see you saving people, I feel impressed!"
Chen Mu looked at the other civil servants and generals, and found that they did not look critical. He glanced at King Xin rather boredly.
The King of Letters will understand instantly!
King Xin stood up and said with a smile: "You don't need to panic. Wu Sangui and his father have committed heinous crimes, and they deserve the punishment they deserve this time. Not only did he wantonly embezzle military pay, but he also took possession of civilian women, seized fertile land for sergeants, and had many slaves.
There is a connection and a disobedient heart!"
He waved his hand and saw that some soldiers directly arrested Wu Sangui's confidants and dragged Wu Sangui away for interrogation like a dog to death.
Lu Xiangsheng, Hong Chenglue and others' eyes flickered and they made eye contact.
Sun Chuanting frowned and looked at Wu Sangui who was being dragged away. He hated traitors who colluded with outsiders!
The Liaodong generals present, such as Cao Wenzhao and Cao Bianjiao, felt a little more at ease!
Zu Zefa felt as if the sky was falling.
If the Wu Sangui family had a shameless collusion with Jiannu, then the ancestral family who was related by marriage to the Wu family would definitely have a hard time.
If one of them fails, the nine tribes may even be wiped out!
No, I have to leave here.
When his consciousness was not focused, Chen Mu came over ghostly: "General Zu, you don't look normal? There was a fierce battle last night, did you hurt your waist?"
"I...I, I didn't!"
"Could it be that seeing something happen to Wu Sangui made you feel sad?"
"No, absolutely not!"
Chen Mu smiled.
Eight white teeth popped out.
The smile is bright and sunny!
Zu Zefa felt that this guy was an evil ghost in human skin!
In the end, he was dragged by Chen Mu to attend the subsequent party.
Then, they discussed in a daze how to clean up Wu Sangui, the Liaodong border general!
Because he was deeply trapped, Zu Zefa devoted himself to survival.
He said that the Wu family was worried that they would be liquidated like General Tongbian, so they had a backup plan, saying that the people sent here had several lines to prepare for any eventuality and to pass the news back.
What's more, he said a lot of dirty things about Wu Sangui's family.
The Wu family in Shanhaiguan was so bought by his in-laws that they lost all their underwear.
"Very well, Major General Zu, you should be the first to contribute to Jingbian this time!"
Zu Zefa nodded bitterly.
He didn't know why Liaodong became the target of these people, he just felt very wronged!
Chen Mu took the information from the interrogation and went back to formulate a new battle plan.
Wei Zhongxian has not been idle recently.
His followers have always had news coming from the border.
Intelligence shows that many generals in Liaodong have frequent contacts with officials. It is easy to guess what these people want to do when they join forces: they are staying together to keep warm.
In addition to the alliance between civil and military forces, there is also even more outrageous collusion between internal and external parties.
The Jiannu army now had more than 100,000 soldiers. They had won many battles against the Ming Dynasty and their combat effectiveness was very strong.
Once the generals of the Ming Dynasty colluded with Jiannu, the Ming Dynasty would be in chaos.
However, the Ming Dynasty's revolution must be thoroughly implemented. In order to restore the decadent Ming Dynasty and allow more Ming people to survive, Chen Mu decided to take the lead in launching an offensive.
The new weapons used in this military exercise are not only for deterrence, but also because the weapons produced have already formed combat effectiveness.
…
Liaodong!
A bitter and cold place in the Ming Dynasty.
Because the land here is barren and the environment is bitter and cold, the Ming Dynasty never paid attention to this place.
But Chen Mu and others knew that this place was a time bomb.
Now that Wu Sangui is dead, Wu Xiang has become a powder keg!
They want to capture this pass.
If you want to fight against the outside world, you must first make peace with the inside?
That's what the bald principal likes to do.
What Chen Mu and the others want is peace after fighting against foreigners!
The productivity of feudal society was low, and the environment was even worse during the Little Ice Age!
Grain production is reduced, the land is bare and the country is flooded. Humanity around the world is facing a food and survival crisis!
The people in the Ming Dynasty cannot survive, and policies can be used to alleviate the problem.
But the slaves in the north could no longer survive and could only continue their old profession: plundering.
Nurhaci also had great hatred for Ming Dynasty.
He had been fighting for many years, and although he was beaten by Li Chengliang as his grandson, Li Chengliang's self-respecting plan to raise the bandits gradually made the Jianzhou Jurchens more powerful, until they could no longer be defeated.
Because of the existence of Jiannu, the generals at the Liaodong border gradually became the most powerful force in this area.
Gradually, it is no longer a major force controlled by the Ming Dynasty!
All this was due to the defeat of Sarsh.
After Li Chengliang's death, his son did not suppress the Jurchens enough, and the slave establishment gradually gained momentum.
Forty-six years after Wanli, the Battle of Salxu directly wiped out all the hundreds of thousands of Liaodong elites of the Ming Dynasty.
These elites who had participated in the three great conquests of Wanli were experienced in hundreds of battles, but were destroyed in one fell swoop due to the rash advancement of the main general!
Since then, the situation in Liaodong has deteriorated.
Due to the Battle of Salsh, a large number of military generals and civilian officials were punished. The generals who defended themselves imitated Li Chengliang's style.
The military expenditure of the Ming Dynasty increased, but it could not solve the problem of slavery, which became one of the main straws that brought down the already decadent Ming Dynasty!
Although Wu Sangui's father Wu Xiang did not have any rebellious intentions during the seventh year of Tianqi, he was even said to be loyal.
But who makes them more powerful? The Wu family also controls important towns such as Shanhaiguan, so their reputation is not very good!
To kill chickens and scare monkeys, pick the hardest bones!
Therefore, the Wu family must be eliminated.
Wu Sangui died on the third day after visiting the weapons.
He died silently, worse than a wild dog!
Before Wu Sangui's death, a force of 200 Jin Yiwei, Dongchang Fanzi, 1,000 newly trained new troops, and 12 special forces were dispatched.
They rode horses, and with the help of 50 new four-wheel carriages, they quickly headed towards Shanhaiguan!
There is a lot of stuff on the four-wheeled carriage.
In addition to 2 million taels of silver, there are also various weapons!
Baiyin is used to deal with the grassroots soldiers in Shanhaiguan.
The weapons are for dealing with Wu Xiang.
A few days later, the troops marching day and night officially arrived at Shanhaiguan, known as the most powerful pass in the world!
Because of the Shanxi merchant incident, they were afraid that Wu Xiang would be vigilant, so they did not send a large force there.
Just let the messengers go to report the news, and then Chen Mu and others will control Wu Xiang, and then carry out the purge plan.
It’s just that the plan can’t keep up with the changes.
After a while, the soldier came with news.
"Wu Xiang is out and it will take some time to come back."
Chen Mu and Bian Zhuang looked at each other and felt something strange.
They won't invite themselves in?
"The people of the Ming Dynasty still have a reverence for the imperial power. Wu Xiang saw the imperial envoy but did not pay respects. I feel there is something wrong." Zhang Jin, who was following Chen Mu, frowned and spoke.
Chen Mu nodded: "We are not allowed to get close to the pass, probably because we are afraid of our force. I will go and call the door alone."
"Are you alone? It's too dangerous! Let's follow."
"No need, I'll just bring a eunuch and a royal guard!"
They couldn't talk to Chen Mu, so they had no choice but to listen to the other party's opinions.
Soon, Chen Mu took a royal guard and a eunuch to deliver a message to the gates of Shanhaiguan.
When he arrived at the door, Chen Mu asked the drone to pay attention to the surroundings at all times. He said to the Jinyi guard next to him: "Shen Lian, come and shout!"
Shen Lian, who was following Chen Mu, saluted respectfully and then approached the closed gate.
"In front of the pass is Chen Mu, the Ming Dynasty rogue. This time he has come to supervise Jiubian. He also asked General Wu Xiang of Shanhaiguan to open and close the door and let us in."
Because Wu Xiang refused last time, Shen Lian handed over the imperial edict and tokens brought by Chen Mu through the hanging basket.
"Please wait a moment, some soldiers have reported to General Wu Xiang, they will be here soon!"
