Vow to die at the end of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 241 The First Eastern Expedition ([-])
When Zhang Chengwu arrived at the garrison of the third battalion, Zhang Liansheng, the former commander of the third battalion, was still on his way to Luzhou Prefecture.

Unlike Zhang Chengwu's depressed mood, Zhang Liansheng was uneasy.Because not long after taking Changzhou Mansion, Zhang Liansheng mainly focused on suppressing the Suzhou Mansion Tartar Jiangdong camp, and neglected a lot internally.This caused those traitorous landlords to revolt repeatedly, disturbing the peace in Changzhou.Zhang Liansheng thought it was his incompetence in governance that made the team leader transfer him.Of course, Zhang Liansheng only dared to think so.Because he still has one of the biggest secrets, that is, his old boss Chen Chen has often corresponded with him in the past few years, but Zhang Liansheng did not report all this to Qiu Tianxing.

As the four major battalion commanders who were sent out did not come to the regiment headquarters to meet with the regiment leader, everyone at the headquarters knew that they were drifting away from the regiment leader.Zhang Liansheng also knew that he kept communicating with his old boss only because he couldn't get rid of his face, and there was no confidential content in the letter, it was just a routine.The reason why he didn't report it was because Zhang Liansheng didn't think it was necessary.But looking back now, he thinks he seemed to have done something wrong.Of course, what Zhang Liansheng didn't know was that everything he did was secretly sorted out and reported by the internal staff placed beside him.

When Zhang Chengwu withstood the attack of more than [-] elite soldiers of the Tartars on the western front, Zhang Liansheng also defeated the Jiangdong camp of the Tartars on the eastern front.It's just that Jiangdong Daying is not as good as Jiangxi Daying in terms of quantity or quality.So Zhang Liansheng planned for a long time alone, and he was ready to continue to attack Suzhou Mansion, so as to compete with Zhang Chengwu.But unexpectedly, just when Zhang Liansheng was about to report to the Military Committee to launch the Eastern Expedition, he was actually transferred, which made Zhang Liansheng feel very uneasy while frustrated.What also chilled him was that his confidantes did not hold back their anger, but just faced it silently.Soldiers with iron battalions and flowing water, this officer is also the same as soldiers.

Leaving the familiar environment, leaving familiar people, and rebuilding prestige, Zhang Liansheng was a little uncomfortable.But even if I don't feel comfortable anymore, I still want to take office.

Wielding his whip vigorously, Zhang Liansheng led the guards and headed towards the Fifth Battalion Headquarters in Luzhou Prefecture.

Compared to Zhang Chengwu and Zhang Liansheng's entanglements and apprehensions, Zhou Chaozhong and Wang Yanxi were much better.Zhou Chaozhong is Zhou Zhen's son and Zhou Xiu's older brother.The Zhou family's wealth is not based on positions such as the Minister of Civil Affairs and the Commander of the Guards Battalion, but on Zhou Xiu and Qiu Dining.Now Qiu Tianxing still only has Zhou Xiu as a woman, and Zhou Xiu is pregnant again, if another male is born, then the eldest son and second son of the Qiu family will all have the blood of the Zhou family.So the Zhou family and the Qiu family have almost become one, and they are almost divorced from the country.

Zhou Zhen has long been aware of Qiu Tianxing's tricks, but the Zhou family has no strength to resist and no ambition to resist.The world is so chaotic, if the headquarters itself is in chaos again, then if the enemy comes to attack us, everyone will be able to destroy us.People need to recognize their own position. Zhou Zhen's greatest hope is that his grandson can inherit the position of head of the regiment in the future. The second hope is that the security regiment can set up the position of prime minister, so that he can live the addiction of being a virtuous prime minister so that he can be in history. A thick stroke of writing in a long scroll.As for the closure of the country that Qiu Tianxing once said, let his descendants go. I can't stand the bitter cold and smelly land of Siyi, and I can stay comfortably in the prosperous place in the country.

Because of the thoughts of the Zhou family, Zhou Chaozhong handed over the power of the Guards without much reluctance, and took the guards to the Seventh Battalion to take up his post.

Generally speaking, as long as the ruler is not out of his mind, he will not kill ministers at will, unless it is for political purposes, that is, those persecuted ministers are in the way.The kind of person who is worried that the ruler will arrest him every day may have a different heart in his heart.Zhou Chaozhong had no dissent, so he left very easily.

Compared to Zhou Chaozhong's easy departure, Wang Yanxi did not feel any psychological pressure, but was delighted instead.Transferring from the Seventh Battalion to the Guards Battalion is a high promotion!The emperor is next to the official senior level.Although Qiu Tianxing is not yet the Son of Heaven, in the security group system he does not have the name of the Son of Heaven but has the real power of the Son of Heaven.Moreover, Wang Yanxi came to the Seventh Battalion not long ago to talk about forming his own forces, not to mention that the Seventh Battalion originally belonged to Ni Zhan.Therefore, Wang Yanxi was very happy when he thought that he had been promoted, and that he could go back to Jinling and get along with his family day and night.Life is really like a dream. Who would have thought that the penniless self ten years ago would have today?Who would have thought that a few years ago, he was still a small division chief in the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and now he has become a battalion commander at the ministerial level?This man really depends on his life!Wang Yanxi sighed in his heart.

The chief officers of the four battalions at the headquarters were all adjusted, and Qiu Tianxing hid in the dark and waited carefully. From time to time, information from the Internal Affairs Department was delivered to his desk.Fortunately, the adjustment was completed very smoothly, and there was no mutiny that was worried about, which made Qiu Tianxing heave a sigh of relief.

Of course, adjusting the battalion commanders is only the first step, and disrupting the forces of various factions in the war is the second step.This Eastern Expedition was for the military to serve politics.It is not important to take down Suzhou Mansion, what is important is to disrupt all the forces Zhang Liansheng left in the third battalion during the battle.Although Zhang Liansheng left obediently, Qiu Tianxing had to guard against it, because he was frightened by the incident in Xinyang, which had become the shadow of his life and led to his changeable and suspicious character.Of course, in order to appease some people's grievances, Qiu Tianxing finally threw out the title policy that had been in the works for a long time but had not been implemented.

Zhang Chengwu of the Third Battalion Headquarters of Changzhou Prefecture did not understand Qiu Tianxing's true meaning, and did not know that this Eastern Expedition was just military serving politics.At this moment, he is familiarizing himself with the third battalion, and is preparing to send troops to Suzhou to take down the Jiangdong battalion of the Tartars, so that he can make contributions.

Although it seems that there is no way for him to be promoted as the commander of the third battalion now, Zhang Chengwu, who is constantly rewarding property and fields, doesn't pay much attention to it.But he values ​​the title!The forces around the security regiment all have titles, and the generals who lead the troops are often dukes and princes, which makes Zhang Chengwu very depressed.I have more than 30 troops under my command, such a force is at least a county king among the Remnant Tartars!But he didn't even have the lowest title.Zhang Chengwu is over [-] years old, and his outlook on life, values ​​and worldview were all formed in the Ming Dynasty, so although this title was unimaginable before, but now that he has the ability, he starts to think about it extravagantly.Even with the transformation of the security team's thinking, it is difficult to eliminate the temptation of the title to the heart.
