Ming politicians

The brigade is still galloping on the official road, but the guards are tight, and ordinary people are not allowed to approach. Even when passing through Jinan Fucheng and Qingzhou Fucheng, the brigade did not stop. They usually rest in the market town next to the official road at night. , did not enter the city, and did not bother any government.

Entering the boundary of Qingzhou Mansion, this is already under the jurisdiction of Su Tiancheng, but the focus of initial construction is still in Dengzhou and Laizhou. Su Tiancheng has not considered Qingzhou Mansion for the time being, so he has no plan to stay in Qingzhou Mansion. As for Speaking of the officials of Qingzhou Prefecture, he already has a plan in his mind, and the next step is to implement it.

The basic situation of the assassination in Dezhou was clear. The most important thing was not implemented. The assassination was indeed arranged by the Blood Slaughter Alliance. Those who were killed were all the killers of the Blood Slaughter Alliance. Su Tiancheng, what's ridiculous is that these killers don't know about Su Tiancheng's situation, and they don't even know what official position Su Tiancheng holds. They just follow the arrangement above, including the person in charge of this operation. Su Tiancheng's identity, they were able to accurately find the target, relying on the information provided by a mysterious person, including all of Su Tiancheng's itinerary, who this mysterious person is, the killer does not know.

To organize more than 100 killers at a time, it can be seen that the Blood Killing League has made up its mind. This is the first time that such a situation has occurred, and it has never happened before. Even if it is very remarkable, it seems that the Blood Killing Alliance really wants to take Su Tiancheng's head.

It's a pity that the killers of the Blood Killing League still made mistakes. According to the intelligence, Su Tiancheng came here with the sergeant of Jiang Ningying, these killers were careless.In their view, the Ming army is vulnerable, and the more than 100 people of their own will not care about facing a huge army, the sergeants of the Weisuo army.It's similar to the lamb, together, that is, a group of mobs, if they charge a little bit, they will soon disperse and flee in all directions. At that time, they can easily end Su Tiancheng's life.

Therefore, these killers pretended to be sergeants of the inspection department in Dezhou, waiting for Su Tiancheng to throw himself into the trap.It's a pity that their carelessness cost them their own lives.

The leading assassin suffered unimaginable torture. During the rest at night, someone specially tortured him. There were too many methods used by the soldiers of the scout battalion, and they kept changing their methods. Finally, the leader couldn't bear it anymore.He said everything he knew.What he knew was that someone offered 10 taels of silver for Su Tiancheng's life. The person who entrusted him did not mention Su Tiancheng's name or position, but only provided a portrait.Moreover, he accurately stated Su Tiancheng's itinerary along the way. This itinerary was actually Su Tiancheng's itinerary after he left Ningyuan.

It is said that the person who commissioned it was very generous, and the deposit was 5 taels of silver.This has attracted the attention of the Blood Slaughter League, and decisively decided to send more than a hundred killers. Anyway, they often do such things. The Blood Slaughter League does not need to care about the identity of the deal, as long as they do what the employer arranges.

As for who the employer is and why he knows Su Tiancheng's detailed itinerary, the boss is not clear either.Moreover, the boss also said that in the Blood Killing League, there are only one or two people who really know the identity of the employer.

After learning about these situations, Su Tiancheng had his own thoughts. He first ruled out the possibility of rich gentry and rich gentry. Rich gentry don't have that much ability. To control their own itinerary and report information in a timely manner, there must be an information network. It is possible to grasp it clearly. The gentry and wealthy households cannot do it. Secondly, the remnants of the rogues are excluded to do such a thing. The reason is the same. The rogues have basically been wiped out. , to avoid revealing his identity, and thinking about plotting against himself is there, but he lacks such a climate.

The rest are two aspects, the imperial court and Houjin.

In terms of conditions, the imperial court is fully aware of its own itinerary, and can report the situation in a timely manner. However, even if Zhu Youjian is a little afraid or worried about himself, he will not take such measures for the time being. He has to deal with himself. There are too many methods, and there is no need for such indecent methods. The most important thing is that if the court wants to do something, they will not be so stupid as to pretend to be inspectors. They can completely pretend to be knights. Even directly employing people in the world.

The most likely one is Houjin.

Hou Jin has a powerful intelligence network. From Huang Zaisheng, Su Tiancheng already knew about this matter, and took out 10 taels of silver. For Huang Taiji, it was a piece of cake, and it was nothing at all. Later gold is available, and during the battle of Kuizhou Fucheng, Huang Taiji dispatched an elite Eight Banners Army, thinking that he could break through the Fucheng and kill himself. This time he left Ningyuan and went to Dengzhou. Tai Chi must know.

From the analysis of time, it is also possible. After entering Shanhaiguan, there is a section of the road that is the most dangerous. If you choose to do it at that place, the effect will be much better. Besides, although there were many people in the brigade at that time, Chunping and Su Mingyue They were all in the middle of the team. The soldiers of the Jiangning battalion must have vowed to defend themselves and their families to the death. It was impossible to fight to the death with each other. No action at that time could only show that everything had not been arranged.

But this is Su Tiancheng's analysis, what the truth is like, only by destroying the Blood Slaughter League and capturing the leader of the Blood Slaughter League, can all the mysteries be revealed.

Before entering Laizhou, Su Tiancheng gave an order to capture several killers of the Blood Slaughter League, leaving the two who spoke earlier, beheading the rest and burying them on the spot.These little bosses are useless, and forgiveness is impossible.

Killing everyone will ensure that the news will not be leaked out. The Blood Slaughter League will not know the specific results and will definitely wait for the news. I can take advantage of this opportunity to send soldiers to completely wipe out the Blood Slaughter League. The headquarters of the Blood Slaughter League is located in In Sichuan, it happened that Ma Xianglin had something to do.

Two people were left alive, firstly, because the two men first started an interrogation and identified the leader, and secondly, in order to be able to attack the headquarters of the Blood Slaughter League, they needed these two people to tell about the internal situation of the Blood Slaughter League and the location of the headquarters. s position.

On the third day of February, the brigade entered Weixian County under the jurisdiction of Laizhou Prefecture. Sun Chuanting led the soldiers of the Jiangning Camp and had been waiting here for a long time. Coincidentally, the soldiers led by Liu Tiehan escorted Su Tiancheng's family the day before When he arrived in Weixian County, he learned that Su Tiancheng was going to Weixian County soon, so he waited here.

Along the way, Wang Furong, Liu Rushi, Gu Hengbo and others couldn't help sobbing after seeing Su Tiancheng. Women are like this. When they see their own men, their feelings are always fragile.

At night, when staying at the official post in Weixian County, Sun Chuanting learned about Su Tiancheng's experience in Dezhou, and his face turned blue with anger. Unexpectedly, Su Tiancheng came to Shandong, and there were still people who dared to assassinate, and they were disguised as sergeants of the inspection department Feel like.

Liu Tiehan asked for orders at that time and led two thousand soldiers to Sichuan day and night to wipe out the Blood Killing Alliance and find out what was going on behind the scenes.

Su Tiancheng was not in a hurry, although he also knew that time was precious, and if there was no news for a long time, the Blood Killing Alliance would definitely pay close attention to it and make necessary defenses, but this matter should be done well by Ma Xianglin and his soldiers Some, Ma Xianglin is from Sichuan and is familiar with the terrain of Sichuan. This time, the extermination of the Blood Slaughter League will also be based on the original white-armed soldiers.

The Jiangning camp crossed borders to wipe out the alliances in the rivers and lakes. This matter is not big or small, and the fact that Su Tiancheng was attacked by the blood killing alliance was leaked. It must be a big thing in the court. If no measures are taken, there will be an uproar, and other sects in the middle of the rivers and lakes, even the four major sects, may be involved. Su Tiancheng didn't want to make things big, but he was assassinated Things cannot be leaked.

Su Tiancheng told Sun Chuanting and Liu Tiehan his thoughts. The main commander of the [-] Jiangning battalion soldiers who followed him to Dengzhou and Laizhou was Sun Chuanting. Normally, Hong Chengchou and Qin Sande stayed in Liaodong. Under such circumstances, they were the most trusted officers of Su Tiancheng. As for Wang Dazhi, he was still by Su Tiancheng's side.

Sun Chuanting and Liu Tiehan quickly understood the truth, and they both agreed with Su Tiancheng's opinion. Sun Chuanting made a suggestion that this matter should not be delayed, and he could order Ma Xianglin to set off from Dengzhou immediately and lead two thousand soldiers to completely Suppress the Blood Slaughter League, capture the leader of the Blood Slaughter League, and find out the situation.

Su Tiancheng agreed. He suggested that the soldiers led by Ma Xianglin should not wear military uniforms and dress up as ordinary people. They should set off in batches and rush to Sichuan as quickly as possible. This operation should not alarm the government. It should be kept secret. conduct.

To wipe out the Jianghu Alliance, you can use the Frang machine and the tiger squat cannon. These small artillery are convenient for transportation. In order to speed up the journey, the Jiangning Camp stationed in Anning Fort and Jingbian can provide artillery and quickly transport it to Sichuan.

Sun Chuanting immediately issued an order according to Su Tiancheng's arrangement, and the messengers rushed to Dengzhou day and night to convey Su Tiancheng's personal letter and orders to Ma Xianglin.

On the sixth day of February, when Su Tiancheng arrived in Dengzhou Fucheng, Ma Xianglin had already set off with his soldiers for Sichuan. (to be continued..)
