I, the Ming Dynasty, can still save me

Chapter 492 A major change in officialdom in Liaozuo
Looking at Wang Huazhen who was already frightened, Chen Liangbi shook his head and ignored him.

Instead, he walked forward slowly, stared at the Liaozuo generals kneeling behind Wang Huazhen, and said coldly:
"Guangning Chinese Army Staff General Sun Degong, Xining Fort Guardsman Li Zongqian."

"Tiechang Fort Commander Yu Hongjian and Xixing Fort Guard Zhu Shixun."

"Guerrilla Lang Shaozhen of Guangning Guards and Chief Qian Shi Tianzhu."

······
Chen Liangbi read out the names of these people one by one. Seeing this, Sun Degong and others did not want to sit still and wait for death, but also wanted to see if they could escape.

But how could Tan Mian and others who were already prepared give them a chance? Then they waved their hands, and the Beijing generals and guards behind them rushed into the crowd and dragged these people out one by one.

What Sun Degong and others experienced tonight was truly magical, ranging from joy to sorrow.

Except for Sun Degong who remained silent as if he had accepted his fate, the others still wanted to struggle a little more. After being forced to the ground by Jingying and others, they all started shouting for mercy.

"Marquis Taining, please spare your life! Marquis Taining, please spare your life! It's all Sun Degong who instigated us. We are willing to donate all our wealth. We just ask the court to let me live."

"I have important information to report. Sun Degong had an affair with Jianlu, and had an affair with Jianlu."

Listening to the voices begging for mercy one after another, Chen Liangbi was even more dismissive when he saw this, and scolded them coldly:
"I want to ask for mercy now, but it's too late! You don't need to donate your family's wealth. The court will naturally collect it and keep it all!"

While he was talking, there were shouts and shouts outside the governor's office, and the three armies of the Beijing camp also sent elites into the city to ransack homes.

Watching Sun Degong and others being escorted down, the cries for mercy became increasingly distant.There was silence inside the governor's office, and the generals of Liaozuo who were kneeling on the ground were silent for fear of offending Chen Liangbi.

Chen Liangbi ignored them at this time, and then looked at Wang Huazhen.Although he was also dissatisfied with him, Wang Huazhen was the governor of Guangning and a high official in the imperial court. Naturally, he could not be humiliated like the arrest of Sun Degong and others.

"His Majesty has spoken, and Wang Huazhen has accepted the order!"

Wang Huazhen, who was kneeling on the ground, was now ashen-faced. Chen Liangbi's words made him wake up completely.

He finally understood something, why Sun Decong sent Jianlu's peace letter.Why has he been writing to his teacher Ye Xianggao during this period, but he rarely gets a reply.

It turned out that Sun Degong had secretly communicated with Jianlu a long time ago, and it turned out that the court had known about this for a long time.And his mentor also drew a clear line with him. Thinking of this, he said dejectedly:
"The guilty minister Wang Hua Zhen accepts the decree."

"His Majesty ordered: Wang Huazhen, as the governor, you have indulged your subordinates, causing many generals of Liao Zuo to have affair with Jianlu. At the same time, you also listened to slander and tried to get Jianlu to negotiate peace with the court. You are so treasonous and unreasonable, and you speculate on the government. I am really disappointed. Don't be a governor anymore. Wait until the Jin Yiwei escorts you to Beijing, and the court will discuss your crime again."

"The guilty minister Wang Huazhen thanks His Majesty for your kindness!"

Wang Huazhen knew that she was doomed now, and was not surprised at all when she heard the emperor's instructions.

After Chen Liangbi read out the imperial edict, he stopped being polite to him and waved his hands. Immediately, two royal guards stepped forward and invited Wang Huazhen out.

After watching Wang Huazhen go out, Chen Liangbi finally felt relieved tonight.Then he returned to his seat and said to Tan Mian:

"General Tan, please send someone to inspect Yongning. Martial law will be enforced tonight. No one in the city is allowed to go out at will. Except for those who ransack their homes, the soldiers of the Beijing camp in the city are not allowed to disturb the people and plunder property at will. Any offenders will be dealt with according to military law! "

"The last will obey!"

After Tan Mian left, the entire hall became extremely quiet. Seeing that even Governor Wang had been removed from his post for investigation and escorted away, the rest of the Liaozuo generals knelt on the ground, feeling even more uneasy and not knowing what to do.

Chen Liangbi looked at them and then waved his hand to let them stand up.

Now that the people who should be arrested by Liaozuo have been arrested, Chen Liangbi does not want to affect too much. After all, they still need to appease the soldiers.

"The evidence is conclusive that Sun Degong and others had an affair with the rebels. I hope you will take this as a warning and not be confused about this serious crime of the Yi people."

"Master Chen, during his tenure in Liaozuo, Governor Wang also worked hard. It can be said that there is hard work without credit. We, the people of Liaozuo, fully recognize it. It's just that Sun Degong is a cunning and cunning man who secretly communicated with the rebels. Governor Wang just listened to the slander. If Governor Wang knew that Sun Degong would do such a thing, so he would report the truth to the court, thoroughly investigate Sun Degong, and ask the court to take a closer look."

Chen Liangbi originally thought that everyone would agree with him after he finished speaking. As soon as he finished speaking, he saw one of his Liaozuo officials coming out to plead for Wang Huazhen.

But upon hearing his explanation, Chen Liangbi suddenly felt ridiculous.

"Sun Degong has a close relationship with Wang Huazhen. I have heard this for a long time when I was on the road, and no one can deny it. As you said, Wang Huazhen did not know about Sun Degong's collaboration with the enemy, but as a governor, he appeared during his tenure There is no way he can escape involvement in such a big matter. Now the court is just dismissing him and investigating, which is already extrajudicial. What else does the court want?"

Seeing Chen Liangbi say this, the official was speechless for a moment.

Chen Liangbi was right. Now the court was only dismissing him and investigating, which was indeed a lenient treatment, so he could only bow his head and retreat into the crowd.

"Sun Degong and others were arrested, but there are many generals involved, and the court will never tolerate these rebels. And everyone here can rest assured that none of you have participated in the serious crime of treason, so the court will not tolerate you. I will blame you, and there are other arrangements. It just so happens that you are all here, and whoever I call will come out and obey orders." Chen Liangbi didn't care about this episode, and then he took over an imperial edict from the soldiers behind him, and then He raised it high with his right hand, and then shouted instructions to the generals of Liaozuo.

"Where is Mao Wenlong, the governor of Guangning?"

"I am humble!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the official who had just pleaded for Wang Huazhen came out. Chen Liangbi was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then smiled:

"Sun Degong has been executed. The imperial court wants you to be loyal to the country, and specially appoints you as the general officer of the Guangning Chinese Army!"

After Chen Liangbi finished speaking, he continued to look at Mao Wenlong and said:

"Mao Wenlong, although Wang Huazhen committed a serious crime, the fact that you were still able to intercede for Wang Huazhen just now shows that you are still a loyal person, so I do not blame you. Now that the imperial court has entrusted you with a high position, you must take credit for your success." As a lesson, continue to serve faithfully.”

Mao Wenlong has not yet recovered from his surprise. He just thought that he had interceded for Wang Huazhen and Chen Liangbi was going to punish him.

I didn’t expect that not only would there be no punishment, but I would also be promoted. Thinking of this, I couldn’t help but feel moved, and immediately handed over my hand and said:
"Please rest assured, Marquis Taining, I will definitely live up to the expectations of the imperial court."

Seeing that Mao Wenlong was promoted, the other Liaozuo generals also relaxed and started to go. Later, Chen Liangbi had his name on the list.

"Deputy General Luo Yiguan of Xipingbao has been promoted to General of the Tiechangbao."

"Guerrilla Zu Dashou of the Chinese Army in Guangning was promoted to Deputy Staff General of Guangning."

"Deputy General Liu Quba of Dasheng Fort was promoted to Staff General of Xining Fort."

······
Chen Liangbi called the roll call one by one, and the Liaozuo generals also came out one by one. After calling more than 30 people, they stopped.

Among these more than 30 people, the highest was promoted to be a guard general, and the lowest was a guerrilla. It can be said that it was a major change in the Liaozuo officialdom.

Mao Wenlong, Zu Dashou and others were also surprised and happy. What surprised them was that they never expected that the imperial court would dare to make such a big move in Liaodong. Aren't they afraid that the morale of the army would be shaken?

What makes me happy is that I was the one who benefited in the end. I was promoted to a general without doing anything.Tonight's continuous reversals made them feel very magical, even a little unreal.

"To be honest, your appointments were all negotiated between the cabinet and the Ministry of War, and I didn't know about it. But since His Majesty and the cabinet trust you, you must not let down the court's expectations.

Once the news gets out tonight, the soldiers will definitely have doubts in their hearts, so I led the Beijing battalion to station in Guangning and wait for the matter to calm down before heading to Liaodong.You should also quickly appease your soldiers, strengthen discipline, stabilize the morale of the army, and do not let down the entrustment of the imperial court. "

Upon seeing this, Mao Wenlong, Zu Dashou and others quickly bowed their hands and bowed:

"Please rest assured, Lord Governor, we will definitely live up to the imperial court's trust."

Chen Liangbi nodded slowly when he saw this, just about to give a few more instructions.But at this moment, Tan Mian came in with someone and whispered a few words in his ear. Chen Liangbi's expression suddenly changed, but he quickly calmed down.

"Okay, let's end this matter here first. You can go down and restrain the soldiers from causing chaos for the time being."

Seeing Chen Liangbi's expression, Mao Wenlong and others were very confused, but they did not dare to ask any more questions and immediately bowed and left.

"That's what they really said?"

After seeing everyone leave, Chen Liangbi couldn't wait to ask for details about Tan Mian. He had just learned a very important piece of information from Tan Mian, saying that Sun Degong had persuaded the generals who followed him to do business with Jianlu to let Huang Taiji's army enter the Liaozuo. Later, Sun Degong conspired with Huang Taiji to take advantage of the opportunity to make meritorious deeds.

This would not only allow Huang Taiji to take advantage of the opportunity to make meritorious deeds, but also allow Huang Taiji to force the court to negotiate peace. He could also continue to make profits from doing business with Jianlu.

"It's absolutely true. It was Jin Li who said it at first. Finally, after other generals saw what he said, they also mentioned it. But it was Sun Degong who contacted Huang Taiji, and now Sun Degong has refused to speak."

After receiving Tan Mian's confirmation, Chen Liangbi immediately started pacing back and forth. Liu Guangguo's intelligence yesterday finally confirmed that what Sun Degong was discussing with his party members was actually this kind of thing.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel worried. If Huang Taiji attacked Liaozuo in the past, he would not be afraid if he had [-] elite troops in the Beijing camp.

But now that they had just dealt with so many people, the Liaozuo army was shaken. If Huang Taiji came to attack, it might be really dangerous.

"You send someone to interrogate Sun Degong overnight. No matter what method you use, you must make Sun Degong talk. Including whether Huang Taiji sent troops, what the target is, how many people there are, all the details are asked clearly, the sooner the better."

"Impressive order!"
