Chapter 258: Sitting in Wuchang, Taoism is unstable

"Hahaha," Liu Sheng laughed happily, "It seems that I did not misjudge the person. Mr. Du's choice was also very smart."

Wang Yangji and others looked at Du Yinxi with more complicated eyes.

If Du Yinxi chose to surrender to the Wei tribe, Liu Sheng would not write a letter to force the Ming court to order his surrender.

It was equivalent to Du Yinxi using his personal reputation in exchange for the face of the Ming Dynasty court, and bought at least several months of preparation time for the court.

They may not be able to sacrifice their personal interests and even bear infamy in exchange for national interests.

Liu Sheng didn't want things to get messy again, so he continued: "Come here, please loosen Mr. Du's bonds! Please also ask Mr. Du to write a letter home, so that I can send someone to pick up Mr. Du's family to prevent them from being persecuted by the Ming court."

The last sentence was said to Du Yinxi.

This is what it should be.

Du Yinxi nodded and followed the two guards to the side hall to write a letter home.

Liu Sheng then looked at Wang Yangji and other officials and asked: "Are there any of you who want to submit to our Wei tribe? Please explain in advance that they must have a good official reputation.

If your official reputation is not good and you have done serious evil things, even if you join our army, we will still seek justice for the people. "

There were indeed a few officials who were greedy for life and feared death and wanted to submit on the spot, but hesitated after hearing this - they had heard of some of the methods of the Yibu, such as public trials of corrupt officials and evil gentry and bullies.

If you can't escape public trial even if you surrender to Weibu, wouldn't your surrender be in vain?
Wang Yangji asked himself that except for a small amount of money he had stolen before, he had never done any serious evil since he became an official. He also felt that Liu Sheng was quite a hero, so when others hesitated, he gritted his teeth and said, "I am willing to surrender!"

"Oh?" Lue Sheng was slightly surprised, and then said happily, "This is great. Welcome Mr. Wang Yang to join our team - come on, please untie Mr. Wang Yang first!"

Immediately some personal guards untied Wang Yangji.

Because Wang Yangji was involved in politics and was the largest civil servant in Wuchang Prefecture, Xunfengwei collected a lot of information about him.

Liu Sheng knew that this man was a mess in leading troops and was a little greedy for life, but he was still good at running the place.

He was a Jinshi in the fifth year of Tianqi's reign and served successively as magistrate of Qiantang, Dongxiang and Jinxian counties, with outstanding political achievements.

Later, he moved to the Ministry of Industry of the Ming Dynasty to be the head of the Ministry of Industry, also known as the supervisor of the suppression of wages. Then he served as the deputy envoy of the Huguang Salt Post Road, where he participated in political affairs.

He is considered a strong contender to be the next governor of Huguang in the Ming Dynasty.

Although Wang Yangji has obvious shortcomings, Liu Sheng is certainly happy that Wang Yangji, currently the highest civilian official in Wuchang Prefecture, can take the lead in surrendering - the surrender of such a high-ranking official can add a lot of political points to the Wei tribe.

Sure enough, several officials immediately followed and surrendered.

In the end, only a few people including the prefect Wang Weiping, the county magistrate Zou Fengji, and the Jiangjiang patrol chief Zhu Shiding were left who refused to surrender.

Liu Sheng said: "Those who have surrendered, we will need a few days to investigate your past official reputation and deeds. As long as you have not done any serious evil, you will be entrusted with temporary official positions. If you do well, you can be promoted to full-time or even promoted.

If you don't want to surrender, you'll be forced to do at least one year of hard labor.Of course, during the past few days while our department is investigating you, if you want to surrender, you still have a chance. "

Wang Yangji and other surrendered officials looked at each other in confusion. They happened to see Du Yinxi coming back from writing a letter home, and almost all of them looked envious or jealous of Du Yinxi.

Especially Wang Yangji.

He couldn't figure it out. This Du Yinxi was just a newly appointed magistrate. Before, he was just a minor official in charge of Hangzhou Chaoguan. His status was unknown. How could he be valued by Liu Sheng and considered a great talent?
When Du Yinxi saw that he was writing a letter to the family, several officials surrendered, including Wang Yangji, a third-rank official, who was shocked and angry.

He subconsciously wanted to ask Wang Yangji why he surrendered the thief, but he thought that now he had surrendered the thief, even if it was for the good of the court, but he surrendered, and his anger finally turned into a long sigh.

Liu Sheng didn't say any more, and asked his personal guards to take Wang Yangji and others down to rest, and put them under house arrest in two courtyards of the Chu Prince's Mansion.

Then he asked the generals from various ministries to come to Chengyun Hall for a military meeting.

Du Yinxi was about to say goodbye when he heard Liu Sheng say: "Mr. Du will temporarily serve as the Military Counselor of our Ministry of Foreign Affairs and follow to observe the meeting."

Du Yinxi was slightly surprised and asked, "Marshal Liu, aren't you afraid that I will convey important military information to the court?"

Liu Sheng smiled and said, "Mr. Du, do you think it can be passed on? Even if you really pass it on, will it be used by the Ming Dynasty court and local governments?" Du Yinxi was speechless for a moment when he thought of the corrupt, dark and messy situation in the Ming Dynasty court and local areas. Speechless.

Half an hour later, the brigade-level generals of the Guards and Standing Army arrived at Chengyun Hall.

"See Master!"

The generals saluted with military salutes, and Liu Sheng also responded with military salutes.

Then he got straight to the point: "We were able to capture Wuchang easily this time, mainly because the enemy did not expect us to cross the river so quickly and was not well prepared.

At the same time, it also shows that the Ming army and local officials in Huguang are mostly afraid of our Yi tribe.

This is definitely an opportunity for us!
Therefore, I decided to dispatch two groups of soldiers and horses to capture the remaining prefectures and counties in Wuchang, and even Changsha Prefecture and Yuezhou Prefecture as soon as possible before the Ming army in the various prefectures could react. "

After hearing these words, all the generals became excited.

Since Liu Sheng decided to continue attacking Huguang, it means that they have a lot of opportunities to make achievements!

"Mao Chengguo and Lin Youhui obey orders!"

The two of them came out and clasped their fists, "The end will be here!"

"I hereby order Mao Chengguo as the chief general and Lin Youhui as the deputy general to lead the Ninth Brigade and the No. 18 Brigade by water, take boats up the river, capture Jiayu, Linxiang, and Baling along the river, and go to Dongting Lake, in Xiangyin After gathering the land troops and horses, we plan to capture Changsha!"

"The last general takes orders!"

"Li Dingguo, Huang Jie!"

"The end is here!"

"Li Dingguo was the chief general and Huang Jie was the deputy general. He led two regiments of the Qiaoqi Guards, one regiment each of the Huben Guards and Shengjie Guards, and a civilian brave regiment. They took the land route to capture Xianning, Puqi, Chongyang, Tongcheng, and Pingjiang, and The navy army joins forces with Xiangyin and plans to capture Changsha!"

"The last general takes orders!"

Liu Sheng added: "After Xiangyin reunited, Li Dingguo was the main general and Mao Chengguo was the deputy general.

After capturing Changsha City, you can capture other prefectures and counties in Changsha Prefecture depending on the situation - don't rush for quick success, but do what you can.Can you remember it? "

The four of them responded together, "General, please remember this!"

"Okay, let's talk about some specific issues regarding the two-way march and combat..."

By the time the entire military meeting was over, it was already an hour later.

Du Yinxi, who was watching, was quite surprised to see how efficiently Liu Sheng and his generals decided on the important military operations to enter Yuezhou and Changsha.

Then I thought, might Liu Sheng not want to attack Nanjing this year from the beginning, and what he said before was just to trick him into surrendering?
After the generals left, Liu Sheng asked: "Mr. Du, what do you think of my deployment?"

Du Yinxi was currently preparing to follow the example of "Xu Shu entered Cao's camp without saying a word". In addition, he had never led troops to fight before, so he said: "I don't understand military strategy, so I don't dare to talk nonsense."

Liu Sheng didn't mind after hearing this and said with a smile: "Mr. Du, you need to learn more - you are a handsome man in my eyes."

Seeing Liu Sheng's high regard, Du Yinxi was a little moved. The so-called scholar dies for his confidant...
'wrong!I am a Jinshi of the Ming Dynasty and the prefect of Changsha. Now I am just trying to buy time for the court, so I endure the humiliation and commit myself to serving the thieves. How can I be swayed by a few words of praise from the thieves chief?It’s really a waste of time to read the books of sages! '

As soon as he was a little touched, Du Yinxi immediately became alert and reprimanded himself in his heart.

He looked at Liu Sheng again, and saw Liu Sheng looking over with a smile, and suddenly he had a "sense of crisis" of "unstable Taoist heart".

The units of the Yi army were slightly reorganized, and the next day they marched into Yuezhou and Changsha by land and water as planned.

Liu Sheng led the remaining troops to sit in Wuchang, preparing to sort out the personnel arrangements and other military and political affairs that had captured the state capital while dispatching various troops in the center...
