Chapter 4: How can a side general serve an inner minister?

However, Liu Xingxian did not expect that good things would change their homage. When Zhang Hu left, he explained to them that someone would come to pick them up south when he arrived in Jinzhou. Moreover, the guerrillas on the Zhongzuo Institute of Jinzhou were the old subordinates of Lord Yang Hao, and they would take care of them all. Everyone just had to wait with peace of mind. But they never thought that the front was still good, but the back was changed.

Seeing that Jinzhou treated them all as prisoners, Liu Xingxian could not stand it. He was ruthless. If the emperor couldn't become the personal army, he would return it to his elder brother. In recent years, his elder brother Liu Xingzuo has been doing well in Jianzhou and has become a co-leader, and he has managed many Jurchen soldiers under his command.

Shen Shikui also muttered in his heart that he was different from Liu Wu and the others. These people had no foundation before. The Flying Tiger Army offended the Liaodong guards again, and it would be considered natural for people to be regarded as thieves. But Shen Shikui had been responsible for thirty years and had been careful and honest. If this was treated as thieves by officers and soldiers, it would be really unfair.

What made him particularly annoyed was that Liu Laowu said he would go to Jianzhou, and he was so awesome that he could not vote for the Tartars after suffering great grievances! He was so angry that he could not beat Liu Laowu up to him if he hadn't watched him. But now, he could not do anything except scold him, and he couldn't even go back to his home.

"Okay, you two say less. Do you want to ask someone to drag him to fight?" Someone came forward to stop the two of them from arguing. The man was named Du Zheng, who was originally Zhang Hu's personal soldier. Later, he became a team leader. Liu Xingxian and Shen Shikui were both under his command.

"So, do you think Brother Shen is a tooth? He is just doing some small business, so he is not the kind of tooth that should be killed."

Du Zheng whispered Liu Xingxian, then said to Shen Shikui, "Don't say that his elder brother is a dog for the Jianzhou people. I know this. His elder brother Liu Xingzuo is a good person. He went to Jianzhou when he was desperate. I heard that he always wanted to come back."

Shen Shikui was still respectful to Du Zheng and stopped talking.

Liu Xingxian was not afraid of others, but Du Zheng, because Du's ancestor was a Mongolian and had a very bad temper. He lowered his head, but muttered unwillingly: "Tao Du, judging from this situation, we probably can't go to the south."

Du Zheng didn't say anything, stabbed someone beside him and asked him softly: "Is it Bao Chengxian who just passed by?"

The man nodded and said, "It's him."

Shen Shikui asked curiously: "Who is Dutou, Bao Chengxian?"

"The people from the Bao family in Shanxi are serving as gang members in Gaizhou." Du Zheng said casually.

"What are Gaizhou's traveling to Jinzhou to do?" Shen Shikui was puzzled.

Du Zheng shook his head. He didn't know why Bao Chengxian came to Jinzhou, but he knew that there must be big shots in the team that came before, otherwise Bao Chengxian wouldn't be so serious. And Jinzhou's abnormal behavior towards them is likely to be related to the big shots here.

…………….

There was a group of people sitting on the official road that were different from the Flying Tiger Army. The Flying Tiger Army sat on the ground, but they were sitting cross-legged. These people looked ragged and unkempt, like a group of beggars, and each looked very numb. These people were all surrendering to the Japanese. Yang Hao, the former governor of Liaodong, transferred them from various places, with a total of less than 600 people.

According to Yang Hao's arrangement, these surrendered Japanese generals were transferred to the south together with the remaining troops of the Flying Tiger Army to supplement the Ming Dynasty Imperial Army built by his student in Jiangnan. If the plan remains unchanged, these surrendered Japanese generals would have a great chance to return to their hometown. However, now, like the remaining troops of the Flying Tiger Army, their fate has become unpredictable again.

All this was due to a conversation in the capital.

Both parties involved in the conversation took action at the same time. As soon as Wei Liangchen left Ningyuan Bo Mansion, a fast horse in the mansion headed straight for Shanhaiguan. A handwritten letter from Li Chengliang was delivered to Li Ruwu, the seventh son of Ren Guangning Dusi.

After receiving his father's letter, Li Ruwu immediately arranged someone to send a letter to Gaizhou gang general Bao Chengxian, asking him to rush to Jinzhou to control the situation. Then he set off from Guangning in person to Jinzhou, with a speed of roughly the same as that of Wei Liangchen who went to sea from Tianjin, a day or two apart.

Li Ruwu came here to personally deal with the surrendered Japanese and the remaining troops of the Flying Tiger Army. Before that, Liaodong Governor Zhang Tao agreed that these people were dealt with by the Li family. As for how to deal with it, Li Ruwu was convinced by his father's instructions and wanted to kill the leader. The rest were spread throughout the Li family, either as servants or as slaves. In short, these people were never allowed to fall into the hands of Wei Liangchen.

Jinzhou received the exact news yesterday, so Bao Chengxian immediately arranged to bring people to welcome Li Ruwu. Although his Bao family was also a general in Shanxi, it was declining and was not as powerful as the Li family. Bao Chengxian was an official in Liaodong again, so he naturally wanted to have a good relationship with the Li family.

There was a man under his disciple named Ning Wanwo, who was originally a border citizen in Liaoyang and was quite proficient in literature and history. Therefore, Bao Chengxian accepted him to help with documents and other things under his disciples.

Bao Chengxian was originally a little undecided about whether to do things completely according to the Li family's wishes. After all, the eunuchs in the palace were very trusted by the emperor. However, Ning Wan, I slapped his hesitation and said, "Now the general is in Liao, and his future depends on the Liao affairs, and the Liao affairs depend on the Li family. How can he serve the internal minister? If the general is swaying, the Li family will be evil and ask the general to report to the private affairs of the internal minister, the general will not only lose his future, but also his life will be difficult."

After getting Ning Wan, I reminded that Bao Chengxian did not dare to neglect and actively helped Li Ruwu to suppress Jinzhou. Today, he even came early in order to show his performance in front of Li Ruwu.

Seeing the horses ahead running towards him, he immediately led the left and right to greet him, and led the generals to bow to him from afar. After Li Ruwu arrived, he immediately signaled the generals to avoid the gifts, and then asked one by one. During the questioning, he looked at the surrendered Japanese who were sitting on both sides of the official road, with very bad eyes.

A surrendered Japanese in the rear saw that the Ming army officers were treated respectfully by a young man. He couldn't help but poke the person in front of him curiously and whispered: "Qing Bingwei, who is that person?"

"Kakawa, don't talk."

Qing Bingwei looked forward cautiously, and saw that Mingjun around him were looking forward at the front with concentration and did not notice this. Then he felt relieved and lowered his voice and said to Kagawa behind him: "Be careful, the situation is not right."

Kagawa and Qing Bingwei were both soldiers of the 8th Army who invaded the North Korean army, led by the Hidea Ukita, one of the five elders. They were captured by the Ming army during the Battle of Qingchang and were then taken to work in Liaodong for fourteen years.

Qing Bingwei was two years older than Kagawa and came from another village, so Kagawa listened to him very much and felt uneasy at the moment, worried and said, "Will the Ming people kill us?"

"have no idea."

Qing Bingwei always bent his waist very low when he spoke. He really didn't know what the Ming people would do with them.
