The banquet was not a good one, but it did not affect Chang Yu's good sleep, and he slept until dawn. Maybe it was because of the exhaustion of traveling and traveling in the past two days.
After getting up and washing up, Chang Yu took Chunxiang and more than ten eunuchs to start morning exercises in the side courtyard of the General Military Mansion, and there was a lot of shouting and shouting.
Although it had only been less than a month since he had just traveled through time, Chang Yu's body was now much stronger and stronger than before, and he was even more powerful in boxing.
"It turns out that Eunuch Chang is still a practicing master." Wang Chengyin's voice was heard just after the exercise. It turned out that he was having breakfast in the ordinary room and had been watching for a while.
"It's just a flower stand," Chang Yu said lightly.
"Eunuch Chang is unparalleled in fists and kicks, but he is known as the number one master in the palace." At this time, Wu Mengming also came over, not forgetting to help Chang Yu brag.
"Oh, are you serious about this?" Wang Chengyin was surprised. He was a military general. It cannot be said that military generals are all highly skilled in martial arts, but they are all powerful people: "The general really made a mistake. I never thought that Eunuch Chang is still an expert."
"Don't listen to his nonsense." Chang Yu didn't want to take this issue, so he immediately changed the subject: "Can the issue of General Wang's troop deployment be resolved today?"
"Didn't we already say yesterday that we would do our best? Now let's have breakfast first, and then the general will go deal with this matter. How about we try to send troops today?"
Chang Yu nodded in acquiescence and followed him to eat.
After the meal, Wang Chengyin left, and Chang Yu told Wu Mengming to go to the military camp to deal with the salary arrears, and then said he would go shopping.
Wu Mengming knew that Chang Yu was not going to visit Xuanfu Town out of curiosity, but must be doing some secret business. After all, he was the one who knew that Chang Yu had Chongzhen's secret purpose.
The day before Chang Yu set off from the capital, Chongzhen gave him a secret decree while giving him the armor. It was actually a piece of paper with several names written on it, followed by four words: Act according to the situation!
Chang Yu was familiar with these names, because he was the one who told Zhu Cixiang. When he saw these names, he knew that Zhu Cixiang had told Chongzhen most or even all of the "dreams", and Chongzhen had already killed the people on the list. However, he couldn't find a way to start, so he gave Chang Yu a secret order because he believed that this clever little eunuch could understand his thoughts.
Unsurprisingly, Wang Chengyin was on the list of secret orders. In addition to him, there was Wang Jimo, the governor of Xuanda, who was well-prepared in Chonghua. One of them ran away before the battle, and the other went out of the city to surrender. Surrendering was already a shame, and surrendering was simply a shame. In the next work, the last one is Datong Commander-in-Chief Jiang Yu who was put on the list because he offered Datong Mansion.
In fact, how to deal with these surrenders was very difficult for Chongzhen. Of course, he was filled with hatred in his heart and wanted to kill them immediately. However, after all, the facts have not happened yet. How to do it without any evidence? If there is no reason, Kill him directly, not only disrupting the morale of the army, but also having no one available. More importantly, he can be attacked to death by those civilian groups!
In addition, in fact, he still has a trace of luck in his heart. Things can turn around and history can change its trajectory. Maybe the rebel army cannot break Taiyuan City, and maybe these people will not sacrifice the city and surrender.
But this bit of luck was not enough for him to take this breath, and he had to nip it in the bud. But there was no good way at the moment, so he had to give Chang Yu this secret order and let him do it easily. This was actually a way of passing the buck. , if Chang Yu did a good job, it would be fine, but if improper handling leads to serious consequences, Chang Yu would naturally be responsible for the blame.
This kind of behavior of passing the blame to ministers has long been customary in the Caichaotang, and the ministers have been prepared for it. Why did so many ministers in the later period play soy sauce every day instead of doing serious business? For example, if Chen Yan was asked to summon Wu Sangui to enter the customs, this guy kept dragging him, such as Nan The relocation has been put on hold. When the army came to the city, Chongzhen begged Wei Dezao: "I will listen to whatever you say, just say it." But this guy just kept silent. All of this was because he was afraid of taking responsibility and refused to accept Chongzhen's advice. Just a scapegoat.
Chang Yu didn't know it was a pot, but he took it calmly and willingly. However, he was in a dilemma at the moment and didn't know how to deal with it for a while.
Compared with Chongzhen, after all, he has hundreds of years of experience and can look at things from multiple angles. Whether a person is loyal or not, and the quality of his character cannot be simply distinguished in black and white, let alone just cover up the other party's surrender. Conclusion.
Hong Chengchou surrendered, Zu Dashou also surrendered, and he surrendered to a foreign nation, but can you deny the merits and integrity of the two men, especially Zu Dashou who defended Jinzhou outside the pass alone and persisted for several years despite being heavily surrounded by the Qing army. Many generals died, food and grass were depleted early, he ate the flesh of war horses and humans, and resisted the Qing army alone. In the end, Hong Chengchou surrendered because of his spiritual support. He could no longer hold on and had to surrender. Even so, it is not an exaggeration to call him a national hero.
But it is obvious that his surrender after doing everything he can and the surrender without a fight are completely different. These people must be watched closely!
Xuanfu is an important border town, not big. Chang Yu took a few confidants and walked around the streets a few times. After making sure that no one was following him, he asked passers-by where the mansion of Governor Zhu Zhifeng was.
An official who committed suicide when the city was destroyed was at least a man of integrity, which is why Chang Yu came to visit him.
But how could it be so easy to enter through the dignified governor's door?
When the servant of the Zhu Mansion asked Chang Yu who he was and what he wanted to do with the governor, he was really startled.
Yes, you can't pretend to be a Jinyiwei, but you can't get in with an ordinary identity. Chang Yu's head turned, and then an idea flashed, and he said to his servant: "Go in and tell Mr. Zhu that I have something to see you in the East Factory."
The servant's expression immediately changed, he turned around and trotted in to report.
The East Factory, also known as the East Jishi Factory, was established in the 18th year of Yongle. It was the earliest national intelligence agency in the world. It was once merged with the West Factory and Jinyiwei to be called the Factory Guard.
However, the West Factory was only established for a short period of time and then disbanded, while the East Factory was not only established early, but also had amazing power. Jin Yiwei was pretty awesome, so he stood aside, walked around, and knelt down when he saw him.
Dongchang can investigate all the cases that Jinyiwei can and can't investigate, and handle all the things that Dongchang can and can't handle. Even major cases will be tried by the imperial court. When Jinyiwei investigates and tortures felons, Dongchang will send people to hear the trial, and every yamen in the imperial court has Dongchang. People in the factory were on duty to monitor every move of the officials.
Yes, Dongchang is really awesome. It monitors officials, celebrities, scholars and various political forces, and has the power to directly investigate, arrest, and interrogate. It does not need to go through the Three Laws Division and is directly responsible to the emperor.
In a simple sentence, Jinyiwei is an external minister, while Dongchang is an internal minister. This can be seen from their commanders. The commander of Jinyiwei is a trusted general of the emperor, while the governor of Dongchang is a eunuch who is a confidant of the inner court, and he is not an ordinary eunuch. , are all selected from the second and third eunuchs of the eunuch Bingbi, who is equivalent to Wang Chengen's position. Only those with the right to serve.
The previous factory supervisors of Dongchang were all power supervisors, such as Wei Zhongxian, and he was probably the last one, because Chang Yu had traveled through time and had not heard of who this factory supervisor was, and he did not even have any interaction with Dongchang. Maybe this person Chongzhen should be the factory director himself.
But at this time, he felt no pressure at all to pretend to be from Dongchang, and even felt very excited.
It was no small matter that people from Dongchang came to visit. Dongchang, which had been demonized, was even more frightening than Jin Yiwei, so Chang Yu was soon welcomed into the house.
When he saw Zhu Zhifeng appearing in front of him with a worried look on his face, Chang Yu felt a little ashamed. This slim old man in his fifties, who was about fifty years old, made people like him at a glance. Of course, it was not ruled out that it was a preconceived mentality.
But anyway, Chang Yu has a good impression of him.
"Chang Yu, our boss, could you please use Mr. Zhu's study room to whisper something?" Chang Yu said politely to Zhu Zhifeng.
This move surprised Zhu Zhifeng. It was rumored that the people in Dongchang were very arrogant.
About an hour later Chang Yu and Zhu Zhifeng walked out of the study.
"Mr. Zhu, what happened today should not be passed on to anyone else. Please keep your request in mind at all times." Chang Yu said goodbye with fists clasped.
Zhu Zhifeng sent it to the mansion: "I will live up to my trust and am willing to die for the Ming Dynasty."
