Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 1140 Jiang Xiang Anyway Five

A group of people arrived at the governor's office and entered through the side door. The shopkeeper immediately left Xiaosi's team and walked quickly to the governor's study.

Obviously, his identity is not just the shopkeeper of some restaurant, he must have some special status to be able to walk through the governor's palace like this.

Not long after, he was led to the inner courtyard of Xingyuan. After Ning Wan, I was looking through the files of Datong Mansion to learn about the population, taxes and the strength of Jiang Xiang's men. I reported the situation to him, and when I heard the news, I couldn't help frowning and put down the work at hand, and asked someone to bring the spies in.

The Qing court did not trust the generals of the Han Dynasty, and Jiang Xiang received more attention. Using the network of Shanxi merchants in Datong, the sticky office established an intelligence point to monitor Jiang Xiang, and Jiang Xiang's army was also bought by them. People, so when the soldiers and horses in the city moved, the sticky pole received the news.

The restaurant where the food was delivered was owned by Wang Dayu, one of the eight imperial merchants in Dingxiang, but it was actually an information point at the sticky pole. Because of the emergency, he could only come here in person.

Entering the study room, I saw that the person who came was a white and fat middle-aged man. He looked him up and down, and asked disapprovingly: "You are from the sticky pole? Do you have any information to report to me?"

Chen Xiangsheng hurriedly took out a waist card from his pocket and presented it, stepped forward to bow to Ning Wanwo and said, "Chen Xiangsheng, the low-ranking sticky pole guard, pays his respects to Master Futai."

The leader of the sticky pole is called the sticky pole bodyguard, and the small spy is called sticky pole Baitang. There are still many coating assistants who have not yet entered the organization, and Chen Xiangsheng's rank is already considered to be the upper middle class.

After Ning finished seeing the badge, I became serious. These spies went straight to the regent. He didn't dare to offend, so he waved his hand with a smile, "Guard Chen, please sit down and talk."

After talking about Ning, I asked someone to serve him tea, but after Chen Xiangsheng sat down, he couldn't wait to say: "Master Governor, Jiang Xiang suddenly ordered the closure of the city, and the soldiers and horses in the city are also being mobilized. I am afraid something big will happen! Taiwan University, leave Datong to prevent accidents!"

Ning Wan and I frowned after hearing this, "Chen Shiwei means that Jiang Xiang is plotting something wrong?"

He felt that the sticking point was a big deal. With Jiang Xiang's current strength, although the idea was tough for the Qing court, it would take a little effort at most to deal with it. Now that the Ming Dynasty is too busy to take care of itself, isn't he looking for death? ?It is even more impossible to contact Jin Guo. At this time, it is impossible for Jin Guo to become an enemy of Qing Dynasty.

He thinks that even if Jiang Xiang is dissatisfied with Daqing now, he will only endure it, and it is impossible to do any radical behavior.

When Chen Xiangsheng saw that Ning Wan and I reacted calmly, he seemed a little disapproving, and hurriedly said: "Futai, don't be careless! I have been monitoring Datong for two years, and Jiang Xiang has been in contact with the Ming court for a long time. Master Futai must guard against it. Now except Datong Outside of Tongfeng City, according to inside information, Jiang Youguang has already left the city, so I judged that he should be dispatching troops."

Jiang Xiang was ambiguous with the Ming Dynasty, and the Qing Dynasty knew this, so the regent was eager to cut down the feudal clan and weaken Jiang Xiang's strength, lest he really vote for the Ming court, so regarding Jiang Xiang's relationship with the Ming Dynasty, Ning Wan me It's not surprising, but Jiang Youguang went out of the city to dispatch troops, which made him a little vigilant.

After all, this is related to his own safety. He can't help but care about what Jiang Xiang wants to do when he transfers troops into the city at this time. Jiang Xiang didn't have the guts to fight against the declining trend.

Ning Wan and I sullenly said, "It is because of this that Chen Shiwei concluded that Jiang Xiang will be unfavorable to Ben Fu!"

"In addition, Hu Weizong, the most wanted criminal by the court, seems to have entered the city!" Chen Xiangsheng said with a sigh, "The head of the Heaven and Earth Society came to Datong to ask Mr. Tai, Jiang Xiang must be rebellious."

Hearing this, I realized the seriousness of the problem after Ning Wan. Hu Weizong came to Datong, indicating that Nanming was involved, and that fool Jiang Xiang might really be instigated by Hu Weizong to suddenly launch a rebellion.

At this time, Ning Wan's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he thought about it deeply. It is estimated that Nanming wanted to contain the Qing Dynasty from going south, so he instigated Jiang Xiang, a grasshopper, to rebel, so as to relieve Nanming's pressure in Nanyang and Huainan, so that Nanming's internal team can rest assured that they will fight first to win or lose.

In order to achieve this goal, Nanming must have made excellent conditions for Jiang Xiang. This guy surrendered obediently, Qing came to surrender Qing, under the temptation of interests, and he forced him to send troops, it is really possible to rebel.

Thinking of this, Ning Wan, I finally realized his dangerous situation. When the city was closed, the signal and the deployment of troops into the city would be the beginning of the rebellion.

If Jiang Xiang is allowed to completely blockade Datong City, wipe out all the upright officials in the city, and then capture him as the governor, then as long as Jiang Xiang leads 2 people south in his name, won't he take Taiyuan without bloodshed? , and Taiyuan, as the provincial capital of Shanxi, once captured by Jiang Xiang, the situation in Shanxi will inevitably collapse immediately.

Once such a situation arises, the Qing Dynasty will be in big trouble!
"Ben Fu wants to leave the city immediately!" After Ning finished my forehead sweating, he stood up, as if he was going to lead the Eight Banners guards and rush out of the city directly.

Seeing that Ning Wan and I were in a hurry to leave, Chen Xiangsheng lost his position and hurriedly asked, "How do you want to get out of Futai?"

"Before Jiang Youguang's troops entered the city, he rushed out of the city!" Ning Wanwo said in panic.

Sure enough, Chen Xiangsheng hurriedly stopped him, "Master Futai, since Jiang Xiang is going to rebel, why didn't he make preparations, Lord Futai's movement has already been monitored, and when Futai moves here, Jiang Xiang will definitely attack immediately when he finds out that things have been revealed. In the city of Datong, Jiang Xiang has 800 elite servants, and only [-] people in charge of the platform, once they fight, they will definitely not be opponents."

"Then what should I do?" After Ning Wan, I was anxious, but he listened to Chen Xiangsheng's words and saw his expression, and immediately said: "Ben Fu is concerned with the overall situation of Shanxi, guard Chen must send Ben Fu out of the city."

Ning Wan and I looked earnestly. An old traitor like him would never be able to please Jiang Xiang if he fell into Jiang Xiang's hands. He was doing it to save his own life, and it was indeed for the overall situation of Shanxi.

For the sake of the Qing Dynasty, he must not die.

"Master Futai, don't worry, Jiang Youguang came out from the west city, and he probably went to Datong Zuowei to transfer troops, and he will return tomorrow at the earliest!" Chen Xiangsheng said: "We still have one night, and it happens that there are insiders guarding the city gate tonight. Let's leave the city quietly!"

Hearing what he said, I calmed down after Ning Wan, sorted out my thoughts, and then said to Chen Xiangsheng: "Officials in the city, please report as much as possible, especially Geng Zhifu, we must rescue the city. When the time comes, I will return to Taiyuan. Blocking Jiang Xiang's way to the south, he declared the mansion to block Jiang Xiang's eastward advance, and then notified the court to trap this traitor to death in Datong!"
