Chapter 239 Transaction

Zhang Zhun pondered, after he completely controlled the Aoshan Guard and Lingshan Guard, would he also have to get the title of guerrilla or general to facilitate his actions? After all, if the garrison army does not have the title of war soldiers, they will not be able to leave their own garrison and go out to fight. However, if there is the title of deputy gangster, all parts of Shandong can go freely. Even if there is no order from the boss, we are not afraid. Isn’t we doing a rebellious work? But then again, who said that I rebelled? I am working with a serious title! It is your fault if you don’t give me the order! It is not my fault!

Zhang Zhun bowed his hands and said in a deep voice: "General Song, Zhang Yulin is polite."

Song Degang looked straight, turned his body sideways, and said seriously: "You are a thief, I can't accept your tribute."

Zhang Zhun didn't take it seriously, and smiled and said, "Let's open the skylight and say something. What does General Song have to say?"

Song Degang said bluntly: "If I don't go to encircle you, you don't want to go to Tianheng Island."

Zhang Zhun was slightly stunned and then said, "General Song, you are such a good method!"

Song Degang's eyes were shining and he said in a deep voice: "Don't you want to?"

Zhang Zhun remained silent.

I thought Song Degang had something to say, but it turned out to be a winner. Song Degang didn't want to go to Taohua Island by himself, obviously he wanted to destroy the Tartars on Tianheng Island by himself and then seek credit from the superiors. If his wishful thinking was successful, this contribution would be quite good.

The Tartars on Tianheng Island have plagued the coastal areas of Shandong for several years, causing great trouble to the Shandong Dusi, Shandong Provincial Administration and other systems. The Tartars went ashore from time to time to wash away the plunder, and also brought heavy losses to the local people. It once caused a lot of people and complained.

In order to cover up the fact that there were Tartars in Shandong, a lot of effort was spent on related aspects. Whether it was Laizhou Prefecture, Dengzhou Prefecture, or the governor of Denglai, Shandong, or even the six ministries and the cabinet, they were all working together to cover up this matter. After all, the essence of our Chinese officials is to deceive the superiors and hide the subordinates, and report good news but not bad news. It seems that if the Emperor Majesty knew about the Tartars, they might cause some storms. Not to mention anything else, with the temper of Emperor Chongzhen, it is certain to kill a few people.

However, as the Tartars went ashore to wash and plunder more and more, the noise caused was getting bigger and bigger. Especially last time, the Tartars went out in full swing, sweeping the southwest of Dengzhou Prefecture, and even burning Laiyang City, causing a great shock. Many officials in Shandong felt that this matter was obviously impossible to suppress. Even if the Shandong officials did not report it, His Majesty the Emperor would know it from other channels.

In addition to the normal government and military system, Emperor Chongzhen also had two major secret agencies: Jinyiwei and Dongchang. Although Jinyiwei and Dongchang during the Chongzhen period had greatly reduced their strength, their intelligence reconnaissance, collection and transmission systems were still intact. They were also well aware of the big and small accidents that occurred in the local area. There were Tartars on the coast of Shandong, both the East Factory and the Jinyiwei. However, for some reasons, they did not just implicate the Emperor.

Wang Chengen, the eunuch of the East Factory, is considered a good man, and generally does not make things difficult for others. As long as the officials below say hello to him, he is generally very kind. On the Dongchang side, the matters about Shandong Tartars were hidden by Wang Chengen. He felt that there was no need to make Chongzhen continue to worry about such a small matter. The rebellion between the Donglu and Shaanxi people had consumed too much energy. Emperor Chongzhen would definitely be more tired after another Shandong Tartar. Wang Chengen was really concerned and caring for Chongzhen, and had no other purpose.

However, there is another eunuch in the palace, that is Gao Qiqian. Gao Qiqian has always been interested in being involved in the Dongchang. Gao Qiqian and Wang Chengen have not had a good relationship. He has always wanted to find an opportunity to deal with Wang Chengen. However, Wang Chengen is indeed deeply trusted by Emperor Chongzhen. It is a bit difficult for Gao Qiqian to defeat Wang Chengen.

However, Gao Qiqian also knew that there were Tartars in Shandong. If he was exposed to Chongzhen, Wang Chengen would have to be accused of being indifferent. Gao Qiqian also concealed and did not report it because he felt that he was not sure. If this matter was exposed and did not defeat Wang Chengen, but instead offended Wang Chengen and a large group of officials, his life would be sad. Therefore, he was tacitly aware of the Tartars in Shandong and was waiting for an opportunity.

The situation in the Jinyiwei side is similar. Wu Mengming, the commander of the Jinyiwei, is a typical example of being eager to ask for bribes and slowing down from harming people. The meaning of these eight words is that the people he caught are generally in danger of life. After he caught someone, his biggest hobby is to extort all the assets of the person. As long as you have a little benefit, he will not kill you. If it is not necessary, he is also unwilling to offend other officials.

For example, Wu Meng obviously knew about the Tartars in Shandong. However, he also knew that officials at all levels in Shandong, including the six ministries and cabinets, were concealing the matter. If he exposed it himself, he would definitely offend a large number of high-ranking officials. It would be no good to offend people, so he felt it was unnecessary, so he kept covering it. However, if the situation was wrong and could not be covered, Wu Mengming would definitely expose the matter to Chongzhen as soon as possible to excuse the Jinyiwei. At the same time, he went down to the well and fell into the rocks and slashed the officials at all levels in Shandong.

In other words, there are rotten sores in Shandong, which are at risk of attack at any time. Dongchang and Jinyiwei have uncontrollable factors. If the rotten sores occur, there will be more people involved. Even Governor Denglai and Shandong Governor will probably be implicated. People say that Emperor Chongzhen was a wise monarch, and he ascended the throne and defeated the eunuch Wei Zhongxian. However, in the eyes of officials at all levels, Emperor Chongzhen was a model of meanness, ruthlessness and suspicion by nature. If he thinks that you deceived him, he will never forgive him. Killing and scouting the house is the only end.

It can be said that the Shandong officialdom in front of me is actually very nervous under the calm surface. Even Zhu Dadian and Yang Wenyue are worried that the rotten sore will occur. They have always adopted a suppressive attitude to deal with this rotten sore, which is to block the news. As for the rotten sore, they have not thought about it, but they just can't do it. In fact, they dream about the rotten sore, so that they will not dream too much.

If Song Degang led the warriors to eliminate the Tartars on Tianheng Island and remove the big stone that was pressing on the hearts of all adults, there is no doubt that he would definitely become the object of appreciation by officials at all levels in Shandong. The two governors must have a bright eye for him, and the cabinet and the six ministries will remember his name. The future will be prosperous and prosperous.

Especially now that the Tartars in the north have just withdrawn, His Majesty the Emperor is preparing to deal with a lot of people. Shanxi and Northern Zhili were ravaged by the Tartars and suffered heavy losses, but the Ming army did not have decent results. Memorials of victory were flying all over the sky, but there was no real Tartar's head. If at this time, Shandong suddenly broke out a military achievement and handed over the heads of hundreds of Tartars. Not only can the past scandals be completely covered up, but they can also become the most dazzling star. Shandong's systems at all levels can naturally benefit from it. After that, everyone's promotion and wealth will naturally be happy and harmonious.

Song Degang is not a fool. He analyzed the pros and cons of the matter clearly at the moment. Therefore, in his opinion, it is completely fine to put down his figure and meet Zhang Zhun. As long as there are great benefits and a little grievance, what is that?

Zhang Zhun said with a smile: "General Song, then your original mission..."

Song Degang said affirmatively: "Cancel."

Zhang Zhun said meaningfully: "Then I..."

Song Degang agreed with full words: "I will redeem my sins and will not blame you for your past."

Zhang Zhun nodded and said with a bright look: "Can General Song guarantee it?"

Song Degang said surely: "If it doesn't work, I, Old Song, will give you a favor!"

Zhang Zhun nodded and said in a deep voice: "Okay! I, Zhang Zhun, accept your favor!"

Song Degang stretched out his palm.

Zhang Zhun stretched out his palm.

Strike each other with both palms.

An agreement was reached!

Song Degang got what he got.

Zhang Zhun also got what he got.

The two of them then turned their horses and returned to the formation.

Zhang Lingyun asked in confusion: "Sir, can you still fight?"

Zhang Zhun smiled and said, "Don't fight anymore, let's finish the work!"

Zhang Lingyun was quite regretful. If the Dengzhou soldiers on the other side came over, they would definitely fight back and beat the other side to the point of rushing. However, since the leader said he would not fight, then he would not fight. It is always boring for his own people to beat his own people. It is more exciting to fight the Tartars! I hope that those soldiers also specialize in fighting the Tartars and don’t make trouble all day long to hit their own people. Well, Zhang Lingyun is still quite naive.

On the Dengzhou warriors, after Song Degang came back, the Qian General asked with equal concern: "General, what is the result of the negotiation?"
