Ming politicians

The atmosphere of the Nanjing Jingying was particularly unusual. The sergeants were all ready to face the battle. In fact, this atmosphere began to form after Zhu Yousong and Qin Sande came to Nanjing, but today's performance was special. All the soldiers in the battalion were fully armed, and the range of about ten miles outside the Beijing camp had also entered a state of arms control.

There are three places in the barracks that are very special. There are many sergeant handles, and no one who is not related to them is allowed to approach. The atmosphere of these three places is also different. The place where Zuo Liangyu and his subordinate officers are guarded is particularly strict. With the warrant signed by Zhu Yousong and Qin Sande, otherwise, even Sun Tai, Minister of the Nanjing Ministry of War, and garrison ministers would not be allowed to enter, and the atmosphere in the other place would be much more relaxed. Although no one else is allowed to enter, but Laughter came from the room from time to time, and there were many officers from the Jingying camp in the capital.

The most important place is of course where Zhu Yousong and Qin Sande are.

Zuo Liangyu and the officers under him had already become the turtles in the urn. How to deal with these officers became the most important thing. On this matter, Zhu Yousong and Qin Sande had some differences of opinion.

In Zhu Yousong's opinion, appropriate screening should be carried out. Generals who are not Zuo Liangyu's confidantes, or who are particularly brave in combat, should stay and continue to fight in the army. After all, those who came to Nanjing are above the rank of general The officers are all high-level officers, and they are also the core of the 20 army. For the stability of the army, they still cannot move too hastily.

Qin Sande had a different opinion. He believed that none of these people should stay, including Zuo Liangyu himself. The purpose of taking such a major move was to completely control the 20 army.Although beheading these officers may cause some commotion among the army, as long as the officers are in place quickly, and the salaries and provisions are in place, they will be able to stabilize soon, and there will be no major problems.On the contrary, if these people are left alone, problems may arise. Moreover, the time is urgent, and there is no time to carry out corresponding screening measures.

Qin Sande knew very well that as long as those junior officers stabilized, there would be no problems in the army. These senior officers had no direct contact with the sergeants on weekdays, and had little influence on the sergeants.If such a high-ranking officer was beheaded during the battle, there might be problems, but the battle has not yet started, and the weeds must be eradicated.

Qin Sande's opinion naturally prevailed.

After Zuo Liangyu came to the barracks, he realized that something was wrong. At this moment, he understood everything.I don't have confidence in anything anymore, but I have a little hope in my heart.I hope to keep as many things as possible, and fortunately there will be a chance to make a comeback in the future. As for the idea of ​​seeking refuge with Su Tiancheng, it has become very extravagant.

Zuo Liangyu was taken directly to where Qin Sande and Zhu Yousong were.

Seeing Qin Sande and Zhu Yousong, Zuo Liangyu forced a smile and spoke first.

"This subordinate pays homage to the Commander-in-Chief and the Supervising Army. I don't know if there is something urgent to ask this subordinate to come to Nanjing Jingying. This subordinate has been thinking about whether the army has already been deployed."

Qin Sande suddenly laughed, the kind of laughter with a duck voice.It is very uncomfortable to listen to, and it also feels chilling.

Qin Sande, who suddenly stopped laughing, spoke coldly.

"Zuo Liangyu, why bother to ask questions knowingly, there are a few things that our family wants to hear from General Zuo's explanation."

Qin Sande stood up unhurriedly.

"General Zuo received the notice from Master Zhu and our family. He should have rushed to Nanjing quickly to obey the call. I don't know what General Zuo needs to discuss when he invites General Huang outside Nanjing. There are many things to discuss in half a day. , our family is willing to understand that General Zuo and General Huang have not seen each other for a long time, and they miss each other and want to reminisce about the past, so as not to enter Nanjing City and be suspected of conspiracy under the current situation."

"This and other matters have been exposed for the time being, and our family doesn't want to mention it. After all, in the face of a big enemy, unity is the most important thing. If unnecessary suspicions cause internal problems, then it is not appropriate. "

When Qin Sande said this, Zuo Liangyu's face turned pale. He finally knew that all his whereabouts were under Qin Sande's surveillance. I am afraid that everything he did could not be hidden. past.

"General Zuo leads an army of 20, so personal safety is naturally the top priority. Our family also understands this truth. General Zuo rushed to Nanjing and needed guards along the way. This is also very correct. No need, when General Zuo leaves Nanjing, it is reasonable for these guards to take responsibility to protect General Zuo's safety, but our family doesn't understand how the 50 people living in the inn What’s the matter, could it be said that these people live scattered in the inn to prevent Master Zhu and our family from plotting against the general, or that General Zuo understands the difficulties of the court and prevents these people from consuming the court’s money.”

"Let's think about it, General Zuo has such loyalty, that is also the blessing of the emperor and the court. Our family is not willing to use the heart of a villain to treat the belly of a gentleman, so we don't care about it. Even if we know that General Zuo often There's nothing special about coming into contact with these people."

Having said that, Qin Sande took out the letter from his arms.

"General Zuo is very familiar with this letter, but our family doesn't understand it. Master Zhu and our family led the army to destroy Su Tiancheng. It is the imperial decree of the emperor. General Zuo is also aware of this. After many things, the military orders issued by our family must be implemented. There is no need to ask General Zuo for instructions. I don’t know how General Zuo knew the decisions made by Master Zhu and our family. I understand, it turned out that General Zuo's subordinates wrote the letter, and through the guards all over the inn, General Zuo got the news."

"It seems that the 20 troops led by General Zuo have become privately owned. First of all, they must obey General Zuo's orders. As for the imperial decree of the emperor and the imperial court, they don't count, let alone Mr. Zhu. And our family's order, thinking of this, our family is a little angry."

"Our family can't help but want to read the contents of the letter. The more we read it, the more we feel that our family is really sorry for General Zuo. I didn't expect General Zuo to rely on the 20 troops to rebel. There is Su Tiancheng in front of him." He is a good example, he dares to rebel without an army of 20, not to mention Lord Zuo who has a large army."

After saying so much in one breath and sarcastically mocking Zuo Liangyu, Qin Sande turned to today's topic.

"General Zuo, those guards of yours have been underground for a while, and I'm afraid they are a little lonely."

Zuo Liangyu's body trembled slightly. Having said so much, these words are the most lethal.

"All the officers under your command have come to Nanjing, and all of them have been concentrated in the Beijing camp. Did General Zuo give our family a note on how to deal with these officers who openly leaked secrets?"

Zuo Liangyu suppressed his own fear, and spoke in a trembling voice.

"Marshal, Lord Superintendent, one person does one's job. These things are done by his subordinates. No matter how they are punished, his subordinates will accept it. It has nothing to do with those officers."

Qin Sande looked at Zuo Liangyu for a long time before speaking slowly.

"General Zuo thinks our family is a fool? You are too arrogant. We have Shang Fang's sword in our hands. No one dares to stop us from doing anything we want to do."

Zuo Liangyu's body began to shake violently. It seemed that Qin Sande had made all preparations. At the critical moment, he had to defend himself. No matter how he said it, he didn't reveal the slightest intention of rebellion.

"Marshal, Lord Supervisor, my subordinates have never thought of rebelling. Even if they write a letter, it is a suggestion. The subordinates think that the Jiangning battalion led by Su Tiancheng is brave and must be taken seriously. The subordinates have never objected to the imperial court and Any decision made by the commander, the subordinates are even more prepared to fight Su Tiancheng face to face. With this letter, the military supervisor said that the subordinates wanted to rebel and wanted to use Shang Fang's sword. Even if I die, I won't be convinced..."

Before Zuo Liangyu finished speaking, Qin Sande laughed again.

"General Zuo is so naive. Our family really feels sad. We have said it long ago. There is a lesson from Liu Zeqing in front. This bloody lesson is enough to make people wake up. We also said that this time Conquests are extraordinary, and we must be united, otherwise Liu Zeqing's today will be our tomorrow. It's a pity that General Zuo is obsessed with his obsession. Do you think that with this 20 army, you will take actions to threaten the court? Do you think you have mastered this? The 20 army, don't you take Mr. Zhu and our family seriously? Our family can only say that you are naive. Today's conversation is unnecessary, but Mr. Zhu is kind and wants to let you know everything , our family has no patience, now that the conversation is over, we have to act, our family invites General Zuo to be the supervisor and beheader, and please General Zuo not to refuse."

Zuo Liangyu was quickly tied up and saw her confidantes beheaded one by one, without even a chance to speak or defend herself.

Zuo Liangyu's eyes were bloodshot. He watched the heads fall to the ground one by one, and watched his confidantes die one by one, but he couldn't speak any words, he was powerless, and his years of painstaking efforts were ruined.

After more than fifty people were all beheaded, Zuo Liangyu finally took out the cloth in the sky.

Zuo Liangyu, who couldn't control his rationality, was very calm at this moment, watching Zhu Yousong and Qin Sande speak.

"Zhu Yousong, Qin Sande, you won, I was careless, and I didn't think about surviving, but I am waiting for you underground, and after a while, you will be the same as I, just because you also want to fight with Su My lord is against you, dream about it, and I will watch you lose miserably from the ground, and watch you live as if you were dead..."
