Chapter 52
As usual, Ye Xiaotian returned to the living room outside, pulled his clothes loose, and opened the door with a sleepy look. The first thing he saw was not Tian Tianyou, but Tian Binfei sitting in a wheelchair. Ye Xiaotian was stunned, and Tian Binfei also came, which showed that something was really important.
Ye Xiaotian asked to the side, Tian Wenbo walked in with a wheelchair, and Tian Tianyou followed. Ye Xiaotian asked them to sit in the living room and asked, "What's the matter?"
Tian Tianyou looked slightly excited: "The King of Heaven has sent someone to send me a message and told me not to rush back."
"Don't rush back?" Ye Xiaotian looked at Tian Binfei subconsciously. Tian Binfei nodded, confirming Tian Tianyou's words: "Master Tusi told us not to rush back, but we can take this opportunity to investigate the movements of Bashu."
"Yang Yinglong must have known about Ningxia Bobai and Japan's invasion of North Korea. He felt that the time had come and was about to rebel!" This was the first thought that arose in Ye Xiaotian's mind.
Yang Yinglong did want to rebel. Before, he tried his best to defend himself because he was not prepared enough, hoping to delay time and give him more time to prepare.
When he received an order from the court from the military post, he ordered him to go to Guiyang to be investigated, Yang Yinglong's rebellion was revealed, so he dared not fall into the trap. After receiving the news that he refused, Guiyang replied on behalf of the court: "You can also go to Chengdu to be investigated."
As soon as this backup plan was released, Yang Yinglong was not thinking about finding reasons to refute, but was moved: Why is the court so polite to a local local official who was sued for rebellion? Is this the court's delaying strategy, or is it the court worried that it would force him to rebel?"
Yang Yinglong was suspicious. While he was perfunctory, he sent people to inquire about the news. Soon, Bo Bi rebelled in Ningxia, Japan invaded North Korea, and the news that the Ming Dynasty sent troops to support Korea followed one after another. Yang Yinglong was moved: God-given opportunity! No wonder the court was so weak this time!
Yang Yinglong was ready to wait for Ye Xiaotian to come back from Sichuan to cooperate with his actions, he would almost have to take action immediately. But at this time, the court sent another envoy to send a third plan: "You can go to the prefect of Chongqing and go directly to Bozhou to investigate."
Yang Yinglong was suspicious, and hesitated when he heard the news: "I am unwilling to go to Guiyang or Chengdu. The court actually sent an imperial envoy to my territory to ask about my crime? This is not like weakness, but it seems that he is really suspicious of He En, Song Shichen and others' complaints, so he asked for some evidence. Could it be that the court has enough spare time to fight against me in the northwest and fight against Japan in the northeast?"
Should I be against this time or against the future? At this time, the advantage is that there are two sides to support it, and the disadvantage is that there is not enough preparation; afterward, the advantage is that you can be prepared sufficiently, and the disadvantage... The disadvantage is only a possibility, that is, during his preparation period, both Bobai and Japan were defeated, and the court could free up his hands and fight against him with all his might.
The two plans have their own advantages and disadvantages, and at this time it was Tian Xifeng who made the final decision: "The king of heaven, who has achieved great achievements since ancient times, has been born in response to the times; before Chen Sheng, Wu Guang and a group of garrison soldiers rebelled, Liu Bang killed the Baishe; before there were various rebellions against the king, Li Yuan raised the banner of righteousness; before there were Han Shantong gathering three thousand people, Zhu Yuanzhang formed a rebel army.
Which of them was fully prepared for the rebellion? Regardless of territory, strength, and military forces, they were ten times inferior to the Heavenly King when they rebelled! Now there are two sides of Bobai and Japan that are enough to offset the disadvantage of the Heavenly King's lack of preparation. If they are still hesitant at this time, it would be that Tianyu would not take it and he would suffer the disaster."
After hearing Tian Xifeng's words, Yang Yinglong finally made up his mind. So he ordered all the people to make final preparations. He gave a sincere self-debate statement to the court, and was willing to pay a fine of 20,000 taels. He also brought his own 5,000 soldiers to North Korea to conquer Japanese pirates to serve the court and requested the court's approval.
All of this is to continue to confuse the court. At the same time, Yang Yinglong sent someone to Sichuan to tell Ye Xiaotian and others to wait for an opportunity to reconnaise the movements in Bashu. There is no need to return in a hurry, but compared with the normal itinerary of Ye Xiaotian and others, even if Ye Xiaotian found enough reasons, he would not be able to stay in Sichuan for a long time.
If Ye Xiaotian returned ten or half a month later than expected itinerary, he was ready. As for how to move on Woniuling, he could make a plan first, and wait for Ye Xiaotian to come back and execute according to his plan. Anyway, the main force of the Tongren Mansions in the east was his people. Ye Xiaotian's main task was to support him. Only when he completely controlled Shiqian and Tongren Mansions would he drive out the Woniuling men and act as cannon fodder for him to charge.
Ye Xiaotian was secretly shocked after hearing the words of Yang Yinglong messenger whom Tian Tianyou reposted. On the surface, he naturally looked timid and timid. He was encouraged by Tian Tianyou and Tian Binfei for some encouragement. When these people left, Ye Xiaotian quickly entered Zhan Ning'er's room like a mouse.
They had been planning in the room for a long time, and then Tian Tianyou cheered him up for a long time. Zhan Ning'er had already turned off the lights and went to bed, but he didn't expect him to come in again. Zhan Ning'er was covered in a hurry and did not dare to light the candle. In the quiet room, when he thought of Lang Jun's anxious appearance, he was embarrassed and embarrassed, but he couldn't help but feel a little happy. Just as he thought that if Lang Jun had been entangled again, he followed him shyly and timidly, fulfilling his wish. Unexpectedly, Ye Xiaotian touched the edge of her couch and told her an extremely shocking news: "Yang Yinglong, you are going to rebel!"
Zhan Ning'er hurriedly dressed neatly, lit up the candle, and sat under the lamp to discuss with him. After discussing the two, it took more than half an hour for the two of them to discuss. Then Ye Xiaotian sneaked back to his room, while Zhan Ning'er packed her clothes overnight and left the inn.
Zhan Ning'er went to the prefect's office in the dark and secretly asked Xing Jie, the assistant minister of the Ministry of War, to tell Xing Jie truthfully the judgment she got from Ye Xiaotian. Xing Jie was shocked and immediately handed Zhan Ning'er a "fire card" and told her to leave Chongqing overnight.
The passes issued by the Ming Dynasty are divided into three types: talisman, kenhe, and fire cards. Among them, fire cards are specially designed for the delivery of military documents and are the most urgent. Among the three passes, only "fire cards" are not restricted by time and transportation methods. At any time and in any way, you must be given a green light along the way and cannot be delayed for a moment. Otherwise, you will be killed on the spot, and those who hold the fire cards will not be guilty.
Zhan Ning'er took the fire card and naturally wanted to leave Chongqing overnight. He rushed to Woniuling and informed Tian Miaowen to respond. As soon as Zhan Ning'er left, Xing Jie ordered someone to invite the prefect Wang. The prefect Wang had already fallen asleep, but the Minister of War was urgently circulating at midnight, so he did not dare to neglect it. He immediately put it on and came to discuss matters.
The two of them urgently discussed the response strategy and then dispersed. The prefect Wang returned to his study, drove away the servant, and personally grinded ink and penned the situation. He wrote down the changes in detail, and reported to Li Hualong, who was in Songfan, who was in charge of defense.
The room of Mr. Xing was also in the room that was not extinguished all night. After a quick note, it was already dawn. He added a fire lacquer seal to the secret note, and sent someone to the capital through the military post, and then arranged to leave Chongqing secretly. He originally planned to go to Guiyang for a few days, but now he wanted to fly away.
Ye Xiaotian woke up in the morning, but he became much more calm because they didn’t need to go back for the time being.
After breakfast, Ye Xiaotian, Tian Tianyou, Tian Binfei and others gathered again and then took action separately. Tian Binfei and Tian Wenbo went to the government. They had already received interrogation by the Chongqing prefect on behalf of Governor Li, and they were inquired about the results of the handling, investigated the movements in the yamen, and inferred a lot of useful information from some pearl silk horse traces in the yamen.
Tian Tianyou went around the streets and alleys to learn about information from teahouses, wine shops, brothels and prostitutes. The spring river water is warm and the duck prophet, don’t think that official news can be leaked. Although these places are the most likely places to spread rumors, there is no wind or waves, and there is also a lot of valuable information.
Ye Xiaotian's mission was to go to the suburbs of the city and use his friendship with Ma Qiancheng to spy on the number, subordinates, equipment and other situations of the dirt soldiers stationed in the suburbs of the city. Ye Xiaotian's ability to perform this task alone also means that he has completely gained the trust of Yang Yinglong's faction. This change began when he went to Hailongtun to pay homage to Yang Yinglong.
There are many local soldiers stationed in the suburbs, ranging from two to three hundred to one or two thousand. The subordinate relationship is chaotic, and all of them are "guerrillas", which is not as good as the regular army of the court, so the camp is in chaos and the banner is varied.
Ye Xiaotian and a few guards crawled around and searched. At this time, some local soldiers in the camp had just gotten up, and they had just started to make fire and make meals. Ye Xiaotian was looking for Shizhu Ma's family in the smoky place. Suddenly, someone shouted in the distance: "Damn, where did this kid come from? He dared to come here to have a 'cooked banquet'!"
Ye Xiaotian stopped hearing the sound and looked in the sound: There are people who are eating "feasts" in this kind of place? Ye Xiaotian cannot help but admire him. He really wants to see which master is so capable.
Eating a "feast" means pretending to be an identity and eating and drinking. There are all kinds of people in Beijing, and it is not uncommon for them to eat and drink. The most common occasions they eat are wedding banquets and funeral banquets. In such occasions, people who are not familiar with the hosts of the banquet often appear, and it is easy to get mixed up and have a free meal.
However, when he ran to the camp to have a "cooking banquet", this person was so talented. Most of the local soldiers here were from the same village and village, and they all recognized each other. Only when some of the people sent by the great chieftains might come from multiple villages and the soldiers did not know each other, could they have a meal.
However, if you are accused of "wedding banquet" and "mourning banquet", people will not do anything to you if they find it. At most, they will scold you and beat you to vent their anger. But this is the barracks, all of them are young and strong, and there is no military discipline at all. If you really want to be caught, it is hard to be beaten to death. What courage does this person have to be greedy for this portion? Besides, these local soldiers are not very rich.
Ye Xiaotian looked at the sound and saw that it was Ma Qiancheng who was leading the people to chase him. He couldn't help but be overjoyed. As for the person who was having a "cooking banquet", he hugged his back, hugged his head and covered his face, and was in a mess. He was about to rush into the forest next to him, and a wooden stick flew out from a distance, hitting his waist. The man screamed "Ouch" and lay on the ground.
"Haha, Miss Qin, thank you!" Ma Qiancheng stopped and clasped his fists and thanked the man who threw the wooden stick in the distance. The man was wearing a short white dress, with a heroic posture and a beautiful and elegant appearance. It was Qin Liangyu. Judging from her appearance, she should be moving her hands and feet in front of the tent and practicing martial arts. When she heard the shouting here, she helped.
Qin Liangyu smiled slightly, turned around and walked towards his own tent. When Ye Xiaotian saw it, he thought to himself: "This is really a harsh girl who is afraid of being entangled. Look at this, Qiancheng's pursuit has made great progress!"
Ma Qiancheng thanked Qin Liangyu and rushed to the person who was having a "cooking banquet". At this time, the local soldiers of Shizhusi had arrived one step ahead of him and were punching and kicking around the man. Ye Xiaotian walked over and shouted with a smile: "Brother Ma!"
The person who was eating and having sex was hunched over and slapped, and was beaten without saying a word, waiting for the rest of the air. Ma Qiancheng rushed over and raised his foot and was about to kick him in the butt when he suddenly heard someone calling him, turned his head and looked at him happily, "Oh! It turned out to be Brother Ye, why are you here!"
Ye Xiaotian smiled and said, "I will go back to Woniuling in two days. We will meet you and visit you and my brothers since we are here."
The guy curled up on the ground like a shrimp and was beaten when he heard Ye Xiaotian's words, he looked up at him in danger of breaking his face. He was immediately surprised and shouted sadly: "Mr. Ye, Master Ye, Brother Ye, help me!"
Ye Xiaotian heard people call him the former official name, and looked down and couldn't help but be surprised and surprised: "Why are you?"
