"Li Aiqing, how many people are there in Jinyiwei on Pi Island?"
"Your Majesty, there are sixty-eight people as of now!"
Li Ruolian's eyes flashed: "The thirty-two people who entered as refugees are distributed on several islands around Pi Island. Among them, there are more than ten people in Pi Island.
Among the remaining thirty-six people, there are twenty-nine ordinary sergeants, four small flags, two general flags, and one person from a hundred households. Both the general flags and the hundred households were hammered out with silver!
I and others are currently planning to recruit several thousand generals and guards, so that the information on the entire Pi Island will be more transparent! "
Speaking of this, Li Ruolian looked a little strange: "Your Majesty, I have discovered that the soldiers in Pidao especially like silver. As long as you give them money, they can do anything.
As for official positions, fields, beautiful women, etc., I am not very interested. "
"oh?"
Chongzhen's eyes lit up, and this matter already explained the problem, that is, the soldiers on Pi Island seemed unwilling to stay on Pi Island.
If you run away one day, you won't be able to take your official position, beautiful women, and fields with you, but you will take your money instead. Everyone in the world will recognize this thing.
"Go ahead with this matter. As long as it can penetrate, money won't be a problem. You can be sure of this, but there are a few points you need to pay special attention to.
First, Mao Wenlong has many godsons and grandchildren in Pidao. You should have investigated this matter. Some of these people may not necessarily share the same interests with Mao Wenlong. You should check carefully.
It's best to win over some of these people, and those who can't be won over are the best. Those who can't be won over, and those who have evil deeds, Jin Yiwei will directly arrest them and escort them back to Beijing, which can be regarded as a shock to the mountain! "
When Chongzhen said this, Shen paused: "Do you have a specific list of his adopted children and grandchildren?"
"Yes, your majesty, please give me a quarter of an hour, and I will go get it now!"
After Chongzhen nodded, Li Ruolian left Dongnuan Pavilion and ran away. In less than a quarter of an hour, he returned to Dongnuan Pavilion with a thick booklet.
Chongzhen took the book and looked through it slowly. The book contained the name, place of origin, birth, general personality, etc. of each of Mao Wenlong's adopted children and grandchildren.
The personal information is extremely detailed, and it can be seen that Jin Yiwei has put a lot of effort into it.
"Shang Kexi (Mao Yongxi), Geng Zhongming (Mao Youjie), Kong Youde (Mao Yongshi)."
Chongzhen flipped through the pages quickly and finally circled three people. If these three people are placed in later generations, even if they don't understand the history of the Ming Dynasty, they will probably know one or two. This is the Sanfan after Jiannu entered the pass, that is, the Sanshun King.
Looking at the three names, Chongzhen frowned and fell into memories.
After a while, Chongzhen came back to his senses, his eyes full of murderous intent: "Let's do surgery on Geng Zhongming (Mao Youjie) and Kong Youde (Mao Yongshi) first. After the evidence is confirmed, please order to arrest them!
As for Shang Kexi (Mao Yongxi)... you can contact him and see if he can be used by the court! "
"I understand!"
Li Ruolian was shocked again. He didn't believe that the emperor made a decision just after reading the investigation data. There must be another force investigating. This was clearly demonstrated in several other incidents.
In fact, Chongzhen also had his own calculations. According to historical records, after Mao Wenlong's death, his subordinates were in chaos. Geng Zhongming went to Denglai to seek refuge with Kong Youde.
A few years later, the two launched the Wuqiao Mutiny, causing trouble in the two states of Denglai and Denglai. They obtained large warships and firearms from the Ming army, formed a navy, and then paid gold.
Although Shang Kexi also received a gold reduction, his performance before the gold reduction was much better than the two of them. He suppressed the Pidao mutiny, blocked Geng Zhongming and other rebels, etc. However, he was framed by the new Dongjiang Commander-in-Chief and surrendered out of resentment. Build slaves.
Relatively speaking, the satisfactory performance seems to be malleable and may be used to one's own advantage.
In fact, Chongzhen was more curious. Shang Kexi suppressed the Pidao mutiny and killed Geng Zhongming's brother. After Geng Zhongming captured Lushun, he forced to death hundreds of Shang Kexi's wives, concubines, family members, and maids.
Why didn't the three of them fight each other to the death after the surrender, and they were able to fight to Guangzhou together?
After some information about the three people flashed through his mind, Chongzhen came back to his senses and continued: "Second, there is a man named Liu Xingzuo on Pi Island who fled to Pi Island from Jiannu. You can find the specific information. Yuan Aiqing and Bi Aiqing, please find out.
Then send someone to contact him. He can promise high-ranking officials and generous salaries, but this person is very complicated. He has repeatedly jumped between Jiannu and Ming Dynasty. You need to be cautious. If you find anything wrong, you can kill him first and report later. "
"I understand!"
After Li Ruolian responded, he whispered: "Your Majesty, there is some news from Jiannu, but the problem is not big!"
"It's quite lively in Jiannu now. As expected, Daishan, together with Amin, Manggurtai and other family members and subordinates, are quarreling with the Mongolian tribes who came to question them.
And the sixteen promoted ministers of Jiannu were not convinced by Daishan. They ignored both parties and continued to do whatever they usually did. Jiannu's internal affairs were running smoothly, and it seemed that Daishan couldn't handle it anymore.
On the contrary, the Eight Banners Army was a bit strange. The troops left behind on the front line did not move much. Zhenghuang and Xianghuang were stationed more than 20 miles away from Shenyang, eyeing Shenyang.
Duduo suddenly occupied Liaoyang with the white flag and Ning Wanwo, Ma Guozhu, Gao Shijun and others from the literary library. "
"Your Majesty, I guess that Huang Taiji has already arrived in Shenyang, or is secretly lurking outside Shenyang, and then passed some special instructions to stabilize the promotion ministers.
Among the Eight Banners Army's counselors, assistant leaders, Jia La E Zhen, Gu Shan E Zhen, etc., all had been subdued by Huang Taiji long ago, otherwise the Eight Banners Army would not have been so stable. "
"It's a good idea!"
Chongzhen sighed with emotion after hearing this.
In fact, this is considered normal. With Huang Taiji's ambition, how could he strike unprepared? How could he personally lead the army to leave the empty Shenyang.
In fact, this can already be seen from the establishment of the Eight Banners and the establishment of 16 promotion ministers after the Eight Kings discussed politics, which can already be seen from the division of power of the Eight Kings.
Moreover, in addition to the Manchu Eight Banners, each of the Eight Banners also has the Han Eight Banners and the Mongolian Eight Banners. These are not only to enhance the Eight Banners' combat power, but also to monitor the Eight Banners. They are usually fine. In such a rebellious situation, they may not necessarily obey the orders of the banner.
Maybe at this time, Huang Taiji had planned a complete set of plans, waiting for the Ming army to take advantage of the chaos to attack the city, then avenge the siege and massacre, and then establish authority over the Mongolian tribes.
Thinking of this, Chongzhen smiled. Huang Taiji was a hero, but it was a pity that he met a person from later generations.
"Okay, go and do your work. Be careful and careful when infiltrating Pi Dao, and remember not to expose it!"
After Li Ruolian exited Dongnuan Pavilion, Chongzhen turned around and looked at the map, frowning.
Yuan Keli and the others only guessed that Pidao and North Korea were the key points to block and completely exterminate the slaves, but they only saw the first level.
