Ming politicians

Hong Chengchou quickly started to make arrangements, looking for traces of the rogues in the huge rogue team.

To everyone's surprise, such an arrangement was a bit late.

An accident happened to Qin Liangyu.

As the commander-in-chief of Sichuan, Qin Liangyu is most worried about the looting of the bandits. The various changes in Sichuan have made Qin Liangyu very anxious. Lu Shanji once led an army into Sichuan, and several times to wipe out the bandits, but they all returned in vain. The situation worsened, because of his various experiences, Qin Liangyu did not trust the army sent by the imperial court very much.

This time, the Jiangning Battalion entered Sichuan. Although Qin Liangyu was happy, the Jiangning Battalion's reputation was too great, and it had repeatedly attacked the rogues. It could be said to be the nemesis of the rogues. Will he actively fight the battle and find ways to wipe out the rogues? If he preserves his strength and deals with it casually, there is nothing he can do.

After talking with Su Tiancheng, Qin Liangyu felt even more uncomfortable. He almost believed that the Jiangning Camp would not go all out to wipe out the bandits. Su Tiancheng found so many reasons, but he refused to send troops. This is the best proof.

Therefore, Qin Liangyu, who was in Chongqing, wrote a letter to his son Ma Xianglin, asking Ma Xianglin to summon the Baigan Army to prepare to attack the rogues. Last year, the Baigan Army fought against the rogues and suffered heavy losses. This time, the Jiangning Battalion came to Sichuan. It is said that the Jiangning battalion will not send troops for the time being, but the arrogance of the rogues has suffered a major blow. At this time, I ask the white pole army to send troops to attack the rogues unexpectedly, and they will surely win.

It is impossible to wipe out the bandits, but as long as the victory is achieved, this is an iron fact, in front of the facts.Su Tiancheng couldn't find any other excuse, he could only send troops to encircle and suppress the bandits.

Qin Liangyu still pays attention to secrecy, she has suffered such a loss before, this time, she will not dispatch the guard army, relying on the strength of the white pole army.It is not a big problem to wipe out small groups of rogues.

However, when some officials such as the magistrate and Tongzhi of the Chongqing government came to visit, Qin Liangyu still revealed his thoughts, meaning that he wanted to ask the officials of the Chongqing government to help the governor Su Tiancheng if he had a chance, and begged him to come soon send troops.

After only staying in Chongqing for five days, Qin Liangyu left.

Su Tiancheng didn't try to persuade him to stay.He needs time to make a comprehensive deployment.

Three days after Qin Liangyu left Chongqing, the prefect and Tongzhi of Chongqing came to visit Su Tiancheng. During the conversation, several officials hesitated to speak.

Seeing such a situation, Su Tiancheng was a little impatient.He had a bad impression of Chongqing officials, and the officials forced the people to rebel.This is the simplest reason. There is still a certain distance between Chongqing and Kuizhou and other places, but there are also a large number of local refugees here, which is worth pondering.Who wants to come out and wander.

Perhaps Su Tiancheng's attitude was a bit wrong, the magistrate and fellow magistrate stammered, did not say anything, and got up to leave.

A few days later, Su Tiancheng became his own attitude.Paid a heavy price.

Words began to spread from below, saying that the Baigan Army was preparing to attack the rogues on a large scale, but the Jiangning Battalion still stood still, so the brave Jiangning Battalion was nothing more than that, and I am afraid it was not as good as the Baigan Army.

Su Tiancheng was shocked when he heard the news. Qin Liangyu had been away from Chongqing for such a long time. Where did such rumors come from? The commander-in-chief left Chongqing to go back to deploy to attack the rogues.

Su Tiancheng quickly thought that when the prefect and the prefect of Chongqing came here two days ago, their speech was hesitant.

He immediately sent someone to invite the two of them over. This time, Su Tiancheng asked bluntly, if he had anything to say when he came last time, just say it without any worries.

In his heart, Su Tiancheng hoped that it wouldn't be the case that the white pole army was going to dispatch to wipe out the bandits, that would be a bad thing, maybe the white pole army would encounter even greater failure.

The magistrate wiped the sweat off his face, and told the whole story. As expected, it was General Qin Liangyu who made the decision to aggressively attack the rogues, speaking with facts, and urged the Jiangning battalion to launch a full-scale attack.

The magistrate also said that General Qin had left Chongqing, and entrusted them to tell Mr. Su, imploring the Jiangning battalion to send troops as soon as possible.

Su Tiancheng's face was livid, wishing to kill the magistrate and fellow magistrates.

According to the information he just received, the rogues suddenly moved again and began to gather on a large scale. It seemed that there was some action, or they were about to leave Sichuan.

Su Tiancheng was puzzled. The Jiangning Battalion was not preparing to attack, and they were always in Chongqing. It is said that the rogues should not panic. He, Hong Chengchou, Qu Qingze and others analyzed these actions for a long time, but in the end they still couldn't figure it out. I understand why the rogues would make such a move. Ordinarily, it would be impossible for the rogues to leave Sichuan. Su Tiancheng wished that Li Zicheng would do this. As long as Li Zicheng leaves Sichuan and enters Henan or Shaanxi, the Jiangning camp will definitely pursue them with all their strength and wipe out the rogues in one go.

After the analysis by the three of them, they finally came to the conclusion that it was impossible for the rogues to leave Sichuan, or it might be necessary for some kind of training.

After getting the news that the white pole army was preparing to attack, all this became clear. It turned out that the bandits were preparing for the white pole army.

Hong Chengchou, Qin Sande, Sun Chuanting, Liu Tiehan, Qu Qingze and others hurried over.

Prince Zhu Cihong also came over.

Everyone noticed that Su Tiancheng's face was gloomy, as if he had encountered something very bad.

"His Royal Highness, I want to apologize today."

"Master Su, why is this? I don't understand."

"I once sent Mr. Qu to pay attention to General Qin's words and deeds. After General Qin left Chongqing, I didn't continue to pay attention. But I didn't expect that General Qin really made a major decision. I knew it too late. I'm guilty. .”

"Master Su, what happened?"

"General Qin misunderstood the meaning of the minister and thought that the Jiangning battalion was unwilling to suppress the bandits, so he decided to lead the white-armed army to attack the bandits. Before leaving, he informed the magistrates of Chongqing, Tongzhi and other officials of his thoughts. It means that the Baigan army used the fact of victory to prove that the minister's idea was wrong. The Jiangning battalion must launch a full-scale attack. I implore the prefect and the magistrates in front of the minister, and ask the Jiangning battalion to attack and wipe out the bandits. Maybe the minister's attitude is not good. , When the prefect and the prefect came here for the first time, they didn't say these words, and the minister only got the news today."

"So that's the case. I don't think it's Mr. Su's responsibility. It's normal for General Qin to order the white army to attack the bandits with all his heart."

"I can conclude that the white pole army is facing a huge danger. I learned through intelligence that the rogues began to gather on a large scale a few days ago. I can't understand it. I don't know why the rogues have such a move. No conclusion has been reached. Now it seems that the gathering of rogue bandits is to face the white-armed army. There are tens of thousands of rogue bandits. , these 2 people, attacking the tens of thousands of rogues who have been prepared for a long time, what will happen, I can't imagine."

Zhu Cihong's expression also changed.

"Master Su, then quickly send troops to support General Qin."

Su Tiancheng shook his head, looking very painful.

"His Royal Highness, it's too late. It's been so long. It's been ten days since General Qin left Chongqing. If the minister's prediction is correct, the White Army has already set off and even started to fight with the rogues. His Royal Highness knows that the rogues have sent spies. Mixed among the refugees, in the past few days, through investigation, I have captured several rogues. After interrogation, they confessed that they came to spy on the information of the Jiangning camp. But I never thought that apart from the information of the Jiangning camp, the rogues also We can detect other information, so it seems that the rogues have already grasped it, the Baigan Army is about to launch an attack, and the Jiangning Battalion is still in Chongqing, there is no movement."

Everyone's face changed. If more than 2 white-armed troops were to encounter an accident, what would be the consequences? The arrogance of the rogues would be greatly increased, and the imperial army would suffer a major blow.

"Lord Su, always think of a way, you can't just sit back and watch General Qin suffer misfortune."

"The minister summoned everyone today to announce the decision. When the time was running out, the minister decided to make the decision without authorization. I also ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for permission."

"Master Su, just arrange it, and I will definitely support it."

Su Tiancheng glanced at everyone.

"Commander Hong, you personally led an army of [-] to enter Kuizhou Mansion from Zhongzhou. According to intelligence, the rogues began to gather in Dazhou, Dongxiang and Xinning of Kuizhou Mansion. If the prediction is correct, the battlefield is likely to be here. The terrain in Dazhou is extremely complicated. I don't know when the white pole army led by General Qin set off. I hope they will spend some time on the road. The road is not easy to go, but you have to overcome all difficulties. , to reach Dazhou, no matter what method you use, no matter how much sacrifice you make, you must rescue the Baigan Army and General Qin."

"Liu Tiehan, order the scout battalion. From now on, we must collect intelligence from the Dazhou area of ​​Kuizhou Prefecture all the time, without interruption. The scouts must try their best to find the location of the white pole army. If they can inform the white pole army of the danger , the scout battalion made a huge contribution.”

"Master Sun, when Master Hong leaves Chongqing, you will be in charge of all the affairs of the Jiangning Camp. All the soldiers should be prepared. If the battle ahead is fierce, they will be ready to launch a full-scale attack at any time. In addition, order the officers and soldiers investigating the refugees to launch a full-scale attack and capture all the suspects. Not one of the rogues and spies of Ming Dynasty will be let go."

"Eunuch Qin, the matter is urgent. The safety of His Royal Highness is entrusted to the eunuch. The five hundred brocade guards and the soldiers of the pro-barracks are all under the command of the eunuch."

"Qu Qingze, step up the collection of intelligence. In a critical moment, you can use extraordinary measures." (To be continued..)
