Late at night, the angel rushed to Oboi's house and told him that the emperor urgently summoned him to the palace to ask questions.

"It's probably Deng Ming was trapped again, right?" Obai rubbed his sleepy eyes, muttered in a low voice, hurriedly put on his clothes, and hurriedly followed the angel.

When he arrived in the Forbidden City, Oboi happened to be Sony who was awakened from his sleep. Oboi snatched up and bowed to the old senior. When the two entered the palace side by side, he asked, "The emperor called us here, I don't know why?"

"What else can I do?" Sony said angrily. Yesterday Shunzhi showed them the report from Hezhou submitted by the Governor of the Canal Transportation Department. After seeing Deng Ming being trapped one after another, Sony and Oboi were also stunned. Seeing that the two confidants were acting like this, Shunzhi, who was already suspicious, was even more uneasy. He immediately sent the order. If there was military intelligence in Jiangnan, there was no need to worry about the time and immediately sent it to the imperial court: "It must be Deng Ming that he had trapped again!"

"I respectfully invite the Holy One." The two walked into the hall and knelt down to pay their respects to the emperor at the same time. Hundreds of huge candles illuminated the entire hall. Many eunuchs and imperial guards stood on both sides, and everyone did not move at all, and no one even dared to breathe loudly.

"Get up." Shunzhi said impatiently. He had lost some of his usual calmness just now. Before Sony and Oboi arrived, he could not even sit on the dragon throne and paced back and forth in front of many guards.

After the two confidant servants stood up, Shunzhi threw a report from the imperial case to the two. Sony caught it and saw that it was indeed a report from the Governor of the Cao Transportation Office.

"As I expected, Deng Ming was indeed trapped again." Shunzhi shouted: "What's going on in Jiangnan?"

Just now, Shunzhi took out his elite roster again, but instead of adding the names of Hezhou officials, he drew two slashes to the two last ones.

Sony thought about it and said, "If you abandon the little one, you will definitely have a big picture. In the opinion of a slave, most of the thieves in Deng are undesirable to Jiangning or Yangzhou."

Oboi thought about it for a while and nodded in agreement. He had an even more terrifying idea, but he didn't say it out.

"Hmph, is that?" Shunzhi didn't seem very satisfied with Sony's answer. He paused for two seconds and suddenly shouted loudly: "I'm a little suspicious. Have they reached an affair with Deng Ming and reached an agreement? So Deng Ming didn't hit their city?"

"It's definitely not like this!" Shunzhi's words were exactly what Obai once guessed, but after thinking about it, he thought that such a thing was not very likely: "If this is true, then Jiang Guozhu will definitely hear about this matter and report to the court to know that they are all under Jiang Guozhu's nose, can they still hide it?"

"What if Jiang Guozhu also plans to deceive the emperor?" Shunzhi asked.

"This matter is even more impossible. If it were Jiang Guozhu's presidency, would he ask his subordinates to send these ridiculous memorials?" Oboi said, pointing to the report in Sony's hand: "Jiang Guozhu must not know about this matter, otherwise he would have done it too stupid."

Shunzhi frowned and savored it, his brows gradually loosened a little, and his expression improved a lot. He nodded and smiled at Oboi, "What you said is reasonable."

Since the prefecture and county were deceived by Deng Ming, the purpose behind Deng Ming is worth worrying. Shunzhi followed Oboi's thinking and found that Jiangning and Yangzhou were indeed in danger, so he immediately issued an order to Jiangning and asked Jiang Guozhu to make every effort to ensure Jiangning and Yangzhou.

"These prefectures and counties want to resist without soldiers, so they want to deceive Deng Ming. Deng thief originally said that they were not these prefectures and counties, but covet these vital places in Jiangning and Yangzhou, so they deceived them with tricks. In my opinion, maybe Deng Ming would also intend to hint them, saying, 'Do you want to learn from Lang Tingzuo, be loyal, right?', or other words to lure them to think about it." The more Shunzhi said, the more he felt reasonable. Deng Ming said this, obviously with the intention of killing people with a knife: "Maybe Deng Ming wanted me to discover how stupid these idiots are, and in anger they were all dealt with, making Jiangnan even more chaotic. Humph, I know that these are all idiots, but I am not! Even if I want to deal with them, I won't rush to this time."

Not to mention that these officials are just incompetent, even if they really have an affair with Deng Ming, Shunzhi does not plan to liquidate them when Deng Ming stays in Jiangnan. He must wait for Deng Ming to leave first. Moreover, Shunzhi has long thought that since these people have not turned to Deng Ming clearly, they are probably just simply greedy for life and fear of death, and may have bribed Deng Ming - isn’t the Mu Tan under Deng Ming just a famous big corruption criminal?

"It is ridiculous to use such a notorious guy, but you are just like this. You dare to compete with me for the world. "Shunzhi couldn't help but mock Deng Ming again. Although the facts prove that he did not far surpass Deng Ming in intelligence, through the simple matter of Mu Tan, Shunzhi could find out the huge gap between Deng Ming and himself in terms of employment level.

If these officials really used bribes to Deng Ming to protect the city, Shunzhi felt that they were not too bad, but they were unwilling tolerate the emperor and would definitely dismiss them from office in the future. Now they seem to be too stupid. They were deceived by the other party before they became Deng Ming. This doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if people are stupid. Loyalty is the most important thing. Let's continue to use them as officials in Jiangnan. Besides, if the Han people are too smart and too capable, it is not good, for example, Zhou Peigong, who was so powerful that he was too dangerous at a young age. Now Huguang cannot live without him, so he has to tolerate him first and even continue to promote him. However, after Deng Ming is pacified, such a person must be summoned to the capital. Perhaps it is not bad to send him to Manchuria.

After the imperial edict was issued, Sony and Oboi sued Shunzhi, and the emperor did not try to keep them, so the two of them went.

"What the emperor said may not be unreasonable," Sony took the initiative to say to Oboi: "There is something strange everywhere in Jiangnan."

Oboi disagreed with it, for the reason he had said just now that if Jiang Guozhu participated, it would not have been so bad; if Jiang Guozhu did not participate, he would have sent a report. Could it be that talking about the acting governor of Liangjiang, would he bet on his future and cover up some subordinates who did his own business? Since these subordinates do their own business, it is enough to say that they are not Jiang Guozhu's confidants.

"Yeah." Sony nodded slightly, without saying more.

Soon the two left the palace, broke up and said goodbye and went home.

After arriving at home, the uneasy third brother was waiting for his father in front of the door.

Although this son is frivolous and self-righteous, he is the smartest among Sony's sons. If he teaches him well, he can continue the wealth of the family; otherwise, it may bring disaster to the entire family.

Therefore, Sony called Soetu to the study room, gave his son a detailed explanation of today's review process, and then asked him for his opinion.

"My son thought what Lord Oboi said was very reasonable." As Sony expected, after thinking carefully, Soetu really agreed with Oboi.

"Hmph, he was a big mistake. Not to mention that he thought he was smarter than the emperor. He refuted the emperor in public, even if he guessed it, it might be wrong." Sony sneered. He had laid the groundwork today. If it was finally proved that Shunzhi's intuition was correct, he could add a sentence at the imperial meeting in an understatement, saying that he felt that the emperor was wise and was worried about it when he left the palace, and once reminded Oboi to pay attention.

"My son doesn't understand." Soetu widened his eyes.

"If it is a genuine Governor of Liangjiang, there is no way to be promoted, it is indeed impossible to take great risks to help his subordinates cover up. However, Jiang Guozhu is the acting Governor's office, not a genuine Governor of Liangjiang. He still wants to climb up. Even if his subordinates make a big fuss, his first thought is to cover up, not report to the court, otherwise he will leave a bad impression on the emperor. How can he become the Governor? Besides, Jiang Guozhu may not have been unaware of this matter in advance. He may have vaguely given the prefectures and counties below, such as Jiangning cannot reinforce, and they ask them to defend their territory on their own, but they do not want to bear the responsibility, so they did not preside over the specific presidency; but those prefectures were originally originally

He was already scared. With Jiang Guozhu's order, he thought that he had reasons to shirk responsibility in the future, so he went to affair with Deng Ming at all costs. Because no one presided over the charge, it turned out to be a chaotic scene." What Oboi thought of, Sony had long thought of it. At that time, he was not on the emperor's premise, because he knew that Shunzhi would definitely settle the accounts after the autumn, and then a large piece of black veil in Jiangnan would land. Many of them had a relationship with the Eight Banners of Beijing and had sent large gifts. In such a turmoil in the officialdom, Sony did not want to be the advocate. He kept his duty as a slave, did not want to show off, but just wanted to be a low-key executor.

"Why didn't Ama remind the emperor?" Soetu shouted anxiously without his foresight.

"Because my guess may not be correct. The emperor is wise and this matter will be clear over time. What if the officials in Jiangnan were indeed not at fault, just because I guessed it, the emperor gave birth to their gap?" Sony said angrily, obviously because he was worried about Soetu's political understanding.

"Besides, this matter may not be waiting for the future. If there are a few more documents to report the victory, the emperor could not see that there is any problem. There are so many coincidences?" Sony thought in his mind. After sending his son away, he called his trusted servant butler and explained to him: "If there are any servants from Jiang Guozhu who come to visit me recently and refuse them for me, he will not accept any gifts from officials from Liangjiang."

...

Nanjing, Liangjiang Governor's Office.

The Yangzhou Governor's Office sent an envoy, Jiang Guozhu was discussing with Liang Huafeng, and seven or eight sets of nonsense memorials were handed over in the west. They all felt that the story was a foregone conclusion, and after discussing for a long time, they were still at a loss. The most feared thing was to pull up the radish and bring mud. The court was furious and thoroughly investigated Jiangnan and also solved the old case of Lang Tingzuo. In that way, the two of them had no other way to go except to join Deng Zhen.

After hearing that the Governor of the Valley Transportation Office sent another envoy, Jiang Guozhu and Liang Huafeng looked at each other and smiled bitterly, knowing that the other party was coming to Jiangning to ask for reinforcements again. However, now the two of them were unable to protect themselves across the river, so they still had the heart to manage the life and death of the Governor of the Valley Transportation? However, the other party was also the Governor of the One, and his official title was still above Governor of the Jiang, so he had to ask the guards to invite the envoy in - no matter what, there was still a few words to say on the scene.

After entering the door, the envoy was the Biao camp officer of the Governor of the Cao Transport. He respectfully beat a thousand and then said to Jiang Guozhu: "Governor of the Cao Transport recently wrote a memorial, intending to report the current crisis to the emperor and the court in detail, but he was afraid that the writing would be biased, so he asked the Governor to send it to the Governor to see if there was anything to add."

It was said to be a memorial, but the one sent was a thick stack of documents. Jiang Guozhu was surprised and casually opened the top letter. It was the report that Taiping Mansion boasted about the fraudulent surrender plan. The following was a lot of similar idiot reports. Jiang Guozhu had already seen these reports, and the content was just the same as the batch sent to Jiangning, which was missing the earliest Anqing Mansion, Chizhou Mansion, and Hezhou.

Jiang Guozhu searched through many reports and searched for the missing three copies. Liang Huafeng, who was beside him, couldn't sit still at this time and came up to help Jiang Guozhu find them. The envoy kept observing his words and expressions. Seeing this, he quickly apologized for the Governor of the Cao Transportation, saying that he had been anxious before and sent the first three copies to Beijing, and had no time to discuss with the Governor of Liangjiang.

The bottom one is the memorial that the Governor of the Cao Transport wants to send to Beijing. When Jiang Guozhu saw that the memorial was basically a piece of white paper, except for the look of his head and the signature at the end, the content was nothing.

"The Governor said that this memorial must be signed with the Governor." The envoy said with a smile.

"Thank you, thank you." Jiang Guozhu stood up from his seat and asked the envoy: "You are here this time, are you going to ask Jiangning for reinforcements?"

"Ah." After hearing Jiang Guozhu's question, the envoy seemed to remember something: "The Governor just wanted to bid to send a letter, but before leaving, the Governor said that if the Governor had time, he would ask the Governor casually when the reinforcements would arrive."

"I have already ordered the army and will set off to Yangzhou today." Jiang Guozhu pointed to Liang Huafeng beside him: "Admiral Liang can testify."

"That's right," Liang Huafeng was very sensible and nodded immediately: "Before you come in, the governor and I are saying goodbye. I will go home and prepare for it, and leave before dark today."

The Governor of the Cao Transportation Army only took this position for more than half a year. After learning that Zheng Chenggong had entered the Yangtze River, he committed suicide by jumping into the water and leaving a last word: If he did not die from the thief, he would also die from the law.

After the current governor of Cao Transport took over, he couldn't help feeling sad when he learned about this. He didn't expect that before his position was in a hot position, he encountered the same situation as his ex: if the canal transportation was cut off, he might not be able to escape the crime even if he sticks to Yangzhou. His duty is to fight with Deng Ming to ensure smooth transportation. But relying solely on his subordinates, let alone protecting the canal transportation, it would be difficult to stick to Yangzhou. If he doesn't want his family to be implicated, learning about suicide from his ex is an effective way, at least his family can get pensions.

When he first saw the good news from Anqing, the Governor of Cao Transport thought that things had turned around and happily passed on the content of the report to Beijing. After the reports from Chizhou and Hezhou arrived one after another, the Governor of Cao Transport was frightened, but he still honestly notified Beijing.

But when more good news came one after another, the Governor of Caoyun was no longer frightened, but cursed. He could guess with his heel that these local officials had an affair with Deng Ming. Since Deng Ming continued to advance eastward without being hindered, Jiangning refused to send reinforcements, and the Governor of Caoyun cursed him and had to start writing suicide letters.

After the suicide note was written, the Governor of the Cao Transportation Governor gritted his teeth and began to write a memorial to impeach Jiang Guozhu, but after it was written, he did not send it out. Although this memorial could almost certainly kill Jiang Guozhu, the Governor of the Cao Transportation Governor of the Cao Transportation must not see this day. He knew very well that the court would definitely not remove Jiang Guozhu before Deng Ming retreated. After the other party knew his memorial, not only would he not relieve Yangzhou, but he might forcibly transfer the troops around Yangzhou. Long before Jiang Guozhu fell into justice, the Governor of the Cao Transportation had to hang himself with hatred, and who dared to say that Jiang Guozhu would not be able to escape from the crime in the end?

So the Governor of the Cao Transportation Bureau did not rush to issue an impeachment memorial, but sent the Biaoying Guard to Nanjing to send a big gift to Jiang Guozhu.

After receiving the "great gift" from the Governor of the Canal Transport, Jiang Guozhu and Liang Huafeng jumped up and down, and with amazing efficiency, they pieced together a reinforcement force to Yangzhou in just a few hours.

Jiang Guozhu has been sending Liang Huafeng, who is in charge of reinforcements outside Nanjing. Before breaking up, Jiang Guozhu whispered to Liang Huafeng in private: "When you arrive in Yangzhou, you must let the governor understand that it is not me who can save Yangzhou, nor is it you, Admiral Liang, but--"

Jiang Guozhu's mentality is now extremely similar to that of later pyramid schemes, and the development of offline is the only meaningful thing in his life.

"Do you want to throw me down and feed the tiger? OK!" Inspired by the Governor of the Cao Transportation, Jiang Guozhu had an idea of ​​a binding strategy. He thought hatefully: "I will tie you up with you. If you don't drag me away, then don't think about running away. Stay and feed Deng Tiger together!"

Jiang Guozhu did not say clearly who was Yangzhou's savior, but just pursed his lips and pointed his finger towards the upper reaches of the Yangtze River to the west.

Liang Huafeng understood it: "Don't worry, Governor, I will definitely do it properly."

Although Jiang Guozhu didn't say it in words, Liang Huafeng fully understood his binding strategy through a simple gesture of pointing his hand - didn't we say we could understand Deng? Okay, if we want to understand everyone, no one can't imagine that we can't get wet. At that time, we will die together and live together.

Watching Liang Huafeng go away, Jiang Guozhu was still worried: "One governor and one governor, this is not enough. Well, in Jiangxi, Zhang Chao and Dong Weiguo must have been in harmony with Deng, that is, one governor, two governors, one governor, and more than a dozen prefects."

Jiang Guozhu frowned and looked into the west. Suddenly, another inspiration suddenly emerged. At that moment, Jiang Guozhu felt that his deep gaze seemed to pierce thousands of mountains and rivers, and shot to Wuchang: "No! The assassination of Governor Hu by Deng Ming may not be true, just like Governor Lang is not really betrayal, so this matter must be investigated!"

His heart was beating violently, and Jiang Guozhu was trembling with his inspiration: "When I become the governor, there will be three governors, a group of governors, countless prefectures and counties. There is no guarantee that there will be no flowers in Chongqing, and he will have to send a decent person to go around... These are four governors. Come on, isn't it just a matter of Deng? Isn't this a matter of fact? Unfortunately, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang does not rely on the Yangtze River, and Deng Ming cannot go without a ship. I have to think of a way to help him get through Deng."
