Chapter 520 Zuo Liangyu's Operation
Looking at the cavalryman Niu Jinxing who was heading north, he was so panicked. He just reached an agreement. Doesn’t that count?
"Don't worry, Lord Niu. Although this is the isolation belt we set up, we don't know much about the situation here. We must send cavalry to understand, let alone we have to see if you have retreated. Please rest assured that no army except these two cavalrymen have entered this area."
Zheng Sen looked like a good man, but Niu Jinxing heard that as long as their reconnaissance operation was not over, the two cavalry would keep moving in the south of Xi'an.
Niu Jinxing also has trouble saying that if we are strong enough, we have to let them go back immediately.
But even if you say this, people won’t agree to this situation. It’s better not to say it out loud. Go back and report it to the King of Chuang.
Niu Jinxing was also mixed with emotion on the way back. The cavalry of the Ming Dynasty acted quickly and drove the army of the King of Breaking along the way.
Many troops were so hungry that they could not walk. The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty directly loaded them on a carriage and then transported them back to the military camp. They probably couldn't come back. After they were rescued, they would also serve the Ming Dynasty.
Zheng Sen used this method to dismantle the strength of Li Zicheng step by step.
Haoge's men have to deal with them, and Li Zicheng's men have to deal with them.
Although Li Zicheng was unhappy, he could only bear it honestly when he thought of the strong combat effectiveness of the Ming army and ordered his subordinates to monitor the southern city wall. If the Ming army did anything, report it immediately.
Haoge also received news about the actions between the Ming army and Li Zicheng.
This guy ordered his men to hide away and never get involved. As long as the Ming army focuses on Li Zicheng, his army will have more time to do some of their own things.
Today, Shaanxi can be said to be intertwined. All the southern regions are under the control of the Ming army. No one can play here. Even if the Qing cavalry has strong power, they dare not go deep into the southern regions.
The Ming army has set up defensive positions in various major transportation routes. If the Qing army dares to move south, they will definitely not be able to go back.
As for the central and northern regions of Shaanxi, Li Zicheng and Haoge's army fought everywhere. Although Li Zicheng's army was at a disadvantage because of his familiarity with the terrain, it would not fail for a while, which also brought considerable difficulties to Haoge's people.
This is also the reason why Li Zicheng is kept.
In Yulin, the northernmost part of Shaanxi, the Ming army has already begun to build defensive positions. If Haoge led his army to enter the grassland from here, it would probably not be so easy.
The army here has reached 14,000, and there is also a regiment of troops on the road. Once their defensive positions are formed, if Haoge wants to pass through here forcibly, he must prepare for half of the casualties.
"Your Highness, it's time for you to rest."
In the military camp outside the capital, Cao Renli adjusted the wicks of the candles. It was already late at night, and Zhu Cilang was still criticizing the memorials, so Cao Renli felt a little distressed.
"I've been resting all day long. It's good to watch something when it's late at night. If I'm sleepy during the day, I can sleep at any time. There's not that much attention."
Zhu Cilang said with a smile that there has been no war in the capital for a long time. Both sides have given each other some time these days, so Zhu Cilang has spared a lot of time to deal with some matters across the country.
"If you are not sleepy, what the prince said, what you are saying is something to you?"
Cao Renli suddenly remembered something.
"Just say it directly if you have something to do."
Zhu Cilang said without raising his head, Cao Renli also has the intelligence team, so many things are very important.
"Your Highness, dozens of adults in the court have received a letter from Zuo Liangyu, and the contents of the letter have been copied. Most of them hope that they can say something in the court. Zuo Liangyu wants to continue to live, and he has a little bit of the intention to abandon Zuo Menggeng."
Cao Renli thought for a while and said that Zuo Liangyu is now an enemy of the court. Those who received these letters will be punished according to the Ming Greenland.
But now the court is just stable. If it is for such a reason, it will not be good for the court's foundation.
"This is also a very normal thing. Zuo Menggeng is just one of his sons. Without this son, he still has several sons. Moreover, the court will never forgive Zuo Menggeng's actions. This old man's eyes are very vicious."
Zhu Cilang had long expected Zuo Liangyu’s actions, but it was not revealed before. After the imperial army headed north, Zuo Liangyu began to unable to sit still.
"In addition to these letters, Zuo Liangyu also sent people to bring in a lot of money from major farms in Jiangnan to major prefectures in the capital."
When talking about this, Zhu Cixuan stopped his pen. A letter was nothing, but if the money was used to corrupt the imperial officials, it would not be a trivial matter.
Although Wuchang City is surrounded, Zuo Liangyu has a backup plan and has saved a lot of money in major money shops before. At this time, the money comes in handy, with a total of up to one million taels.
"Whose home was sent to?"
Zhu Cilang frowned and said, "It's been a day or two since Cao Renli followed Zhu Cilang, so he naturally knew that what Zhu Cilang hated the most was corruption, so he had already listed a list."
"This is really a good minister of my palace. When I was in Nanjing, I patted my chest and expressed my loyalty. Now I dare to accept Zuo Liangyu's benefits."
Zhu Cilang was angry and laughed by some people on the list, mainly because these people were familiar with Zhu Cilang. He usually talked about benevolence, righteousness and morality in the court hall. Now when he saw the silver, he forgot where to do his butt.
“Is there any evidence?”
Zhu Cilang was also afraid that these eunuchs would return to some of the faces they did in the previous dynasty, so everything must be proven.
"When you go back to the Crown Prince, you will be as proof as a mountain."
Cao Renli didn't dare to take it out without evidence. What the crown prince hates the most is the news.
"Let the Ministry of Justice go to trial and hand over the evidence to them, and you will supervise it."
Zhu Ciyang's words surprised Cao Renli. Why didn't we go to handle the case?
