376 Zhang Dingguo's Problem
"It shouldn't be long before you go deep into the heart of Liaodong. You are young and still a girl." Lu Xiangsheng said sincerely, "You don't have to say much about how dangerous this trip is. The hard work is, whether it is hiding at night, or rushing day and night, sleepless at night, or hungry or food, you should stay on the island, right?"
Wei Mulan was sent by Emperor Chongzhen, so he had no right to order. However, he really felt that if Wei Mulan followed him, he was afraid that he would not be able to come back, so he had to persuade him.
Wen Mulan heard this and smiled, which was particularly touching. She only smiled and said, "Your Majesty's order is that the lower officials should be with the Lord Zhongcheng and convey information at any time. When you go to the hinterland of Liaodong, you need to know more information. The lower officials will accompany you to ensure the actions of the Central Secretary. As for the lower officials themselves, it is not hindered!"
She did not say that Emperor Chongzhen had actually worried about her and could not follow her. But she had made up her mind and there was no need to mention this matter. Of course, she was also very grateful for Lu Xiangsheng's concerns, which strengthened her belief.
Seeing that she could not persuade her, Lu Xiangsheng could feel that she had decided, so he stopped persuading her and continued to inspect the troops on the island.
Wei Mulan sat quietly for a while, then reported the situation on the island to Emperor Chongzhen, saying that she was well prepared here.
After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen waited for the news to be further confirmed before ordering Lu Xiangsheng to attack. When he was about to withdraw from the chat group, someone suddenly looked for him in the chat group.
"Save all living beings, the group leader, I have something to come to you!"
Emperor Chongzhen saw that it was Zhang Dingguo, the little kid who seemed to have not been bubbling for this period of time. He was curious about this kid among the thieves, and at the same time wanted to understand the situation of the thieves, so he continued to say, "What's the matter with me?"
"Don't you have anything to do with the court? I'll ask you something, okay?" Zhang Dingguo asked immediately.
When Emperor Chongzhen saw this, you little brat, were you thinking about getting in the court? He felt a little funny and continued to ask, "Speak up if you have something to do, I'm busy!"
If it were the previous one, Zhang Dinggong would probably be angry. Anyway, he felt that he was not afraid of the group leader. But at this time, he did not show his rebellious side, but replied obediently: "I heard that the emperor issued an order that as long as we are willing to surrender, the imperial army cannot kill us?"
What does this mean? Could it be that it was surrounded and blocked by the troops of Wu Xiang, the general of Datong sent by Hong Chengchou, Ma Xianglin and Governor Xuanda, and finally had no way to surrender?
Emperor Chongzhen was very happy when he thought about this. It would be great if the problem of thieves was solved at this time. Next, he only needed to concentrate on disaster relief.
So he quickly replied: "Yes, as far as I know, the emperor did issue an order. As long as you are willing to surrender, you will organize you to build water conservancy..."
As he was speaking, the remaining words had not been displayed, when Zhang Dingguo said something and put his words back: "Don't talk so much nonsense, I just want to know, kill or not?"
"..." Emperor Chongzhen was speechless. Why are you so domineering, little brat?
"You are a child, you should be polite in your words!" Wei Mulan stood up to remind Zhang Ding National Highway.
"It's not your business, stay there!" Zhang Dingguo was still very arrogant. "The group leader, if you are a man, just answer, kill, or not?"
In fact, Emperor Chongzhen's previous meaning was already very clear, but the little kid was still very persistent, which made him a little helpless. But it was hard to answer this matter. Besides, why are you angry with a little kid?
So, he followed Zhang Dingguo's opinion and said, "Don't kill!"
Unexpectedly, it was not over yet, and Zhang Dingguo continued, "Do you promise?"
"Please!" After Emperor Chongzhen answered, he immediately asked, "If you still have any worries about surrender, in order to avoid misunderstandings, or I can make a match for you to surrender as much as possible, how about it?"
After saying this, Zhang Dingguo waited for a while before saying something came out: "Who said we were going to surrender? None of the dog officials is a good thing!"
"..." Emperor Chongzhen was speechless when he heard this. He said so much. Are you making fun of me?
After a moment of silence, he asked, "Then why do you ask this?"
This time, Zhang Dingguo answered quickly enough: "I have a few good companions who can't run anymore. My adoptive father said he wanted to throw them to the officers and soldiers. I was a little worried, so I asked!"
When Emperor Chongzhen heard that, he chatted with Lu Ruipeng in private and said, "What's the situation of suppressing the thieves over there?"
"Go back to Your Majesty, the bandits escaped very quickly. Hong Zhongcheng could have been able to bite the bandits tightly, but a few days ago, a large number of old and weak were abandoned by the bandits. Hong Zhongcheng had been thrown away in order to resettle these old and weak." Lu Ruipeng answered the emperor's question immediately.
After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen asked Zhang Fengyi again and found that the bandits did not fight with the government army, but just ran desperately, leaving the old and weak in the team along the way to delay the pursuit of the government army. The remaining Wu Xiang road was because there were no members of the chat group and they could not know the specific situation. It must be almost the same.
Just as he was thinking, he saw Zhang Fengyi chatting with him privately: "Your Majesty, when the generals and his wife were chasing these bandits, they found that many defeated soldiers from Jin had joined the bandits. Although the number of bandits has been greatly reduced at the moment, their combat effectiveness is probably stronger than before."
This was the situation that Emperor Chongzhen was most worried about before. Unexpectedly, some things could not be changed by the flapping of the butterfly wings. However, as far as the current situation is concerned, Hong Chengchou is from the west, Baigang Army from the east, Wu Xiang's Datong Army goes south, and the troops in other places are on the spot to prevent the encirclement and narrow the encirclement. It is best to be able to encircle and annihilate them. If they cannot encircle and annihilate them, they will rush to the grassland outside the pass and let them disrupt the situation in the grassland.
What he didn't know was that these thieves had already destroyed several village forts while escaping. For example, at this time, the thieves of the 42nd Battalion were gathering in a village fort that had just been breached by them to discuss matters. The extra thieves were thieves from Jin, who were driven from the east by the Baigang Army.
The squire in the fort has a large yard, with bonfires burning, and there are leaders around them. Wang Jiayin sat on the steps of the lobby and clapped his hands and said loudly: "Brothers, we have been chased by the government troops these days and have not had a good rest. We cannot continue this kind of life, otherwise sooner or later we will be caught up by the government troops."
"Yes, we have seen the ability of King Hong Yan. If we fight, we will definitely suffer heavy losses!"
"There are also the White Petal Army. They are the chieftain soldiers who are afraid of Jianlu. It is difficult to fight with them!"
"Then the general Datong is the same. He was transferred from Shanhaiguan. He used to be an army that fought with Jianlu!"
