Obviously, the letter that Yang Zhen personally wrote to Huang Taiji to deliberately anger him was finally fully exploited by people around Huang Taiji.

Although the original letter was torn up on the spot by the furious Huang Taiji, Yang Zhen's font and handwriting were still taken the opportunity to imitate by the pen writers around Huang Taiji.

This really makes Yang Zhen jump into the Yellow River and he won't be able to clean himself up.

Admit it, it is indeed fake.

He must deny it, but he did write a reply to Huang Taiji in his own hand.

Although almost no one under Yang Zhen knew what he wrote in his reply to Huang Taiji, all the generals in Zhenjiang Fort knew that Yang Zhen did write a reply and let Ban Zhifu go back to ask Huang Taiji for the beauty.

things.

This is really yellow mud falling into the crotch, it is either shit or shit.

"The brothers in Songshan City all believed that the governor could not make peace with the Qing Dynasty puppet emperor for the sake of a certain king or a certain woman, so they all agreed that those letters must have been forged by the Qing Dynasty, and must have been forged by the Qing Dynasty.

Lu's plan to divorce.

"However, those people in Jinzhou City and Ningyuan City have an excuse. No matter how General Yuan and General Xia plead, they are still unwilling to take action.

"It wasn't until later that it was said that Jinzhou City received news from the ancestors' family in Guangning City, saying that the Qing Dynasty Puppet Emperor Huang Taiji personally led the main force of the Qing Dynasty army and had crossed the Yajiang River to march eastward to the imperial court, and that Zhang Cunren Zu Kefa wanted to do something wrong anyway.

Only then did they really have the heart to send troops to Guangning."

After listening to Qiu Biyong's explanation of why Zu Dashou and the others really decided to send troops, Yang Zhen sighed involuntarily.

Huang Taiji's previous alienation plan still worked, and Zu Dashou still believed in his own people more.

But no matter what, no matter what the final reason was, they finally sent troops to Guangning City. From this point of view, they could be regarded as relieving themselves.

"but--"

Yang Zhen originally thought that the matter would be over at this point, but unexpectedly, Qiu Biyong said "but" again.

Yang Zhen's heart, which was already calm, suddenly became anxious again.

"But what?"

"Although Zu Dashou and the others finally sent out troops, before Beizhi came to Zhenjiang Fort to deliver the message, General Yuan told Beizi that it was rumored that Governor Hong of Ningyuan City seemed to have sent those who had been sent to Jinzhou City - the Qing puppets

The letters exchanged between Emperor Huang Taiji and the governor have been sent to the capital!"

"What?!"

Yang Zhen was really shocked when he heard what Qiu Biyong said.

Did he know the temper of Emperor Chongzhen, and he also knew that the factional strife in the capital and court was fierce in this era.

Whether this matter is big or small, once it is taken advantage of by someone with intentions, it can add a lot of things to you even if you have nothing to do, not to mention that the matter itself is really unclear.

Only then did Yang Zhen really start to feel a little worried.

He was not worried about Hong Chengchou. He didn't believe that Hong Chengchou dared to imitate Yuan Chonghuan back then, and he didn't believe that he dared to use the imperial edict against him because of it.

But Yang Zhen was very worried that he would lose the trust of Emperor Chongzhen.

Once he loses the trust of Emperor Chongzhen, many things will be difficult for him to do in the future.

Therefore, Yang Zhen felt very unhappy and worried that the generals in western Liaoning reported this obvious alienation plan to the capital.

When Qiu Biyong saw his brother-in-law acting like this, he quickly continued:

"The Commander-in-Chief does not need to worry too much. Now that the Commander-in-Chief has achieved another great victory, not only has the siege of Zhenjiang Fort been lifted, but Jinhai East Road has also captured the Xiuyan Castle. Those rumors have been self-destructed and I believe they will be put to rest soon.

"Furthermore, it is said that Governor Hong does not believe it and thinks it is a plan by the Qing captives to alienate people. Therefore, even in western Liaoning, there are not many people who know these rumors!"

"Okay, I understand. Do you have any other rumors or news?"

Faced with Qiu Biyong's relief, Yang Zhen nodded and smiled bitterly. He didn't want to say anything more and just asked him if there was anything else.

"Um - by the way, when I was passing through Fuzhou City, I met General Lu and Deputy General Xu. I heard from them that the two white flag troops that had gathered in Xiongyue City had withdrawn in large numbers before the end of the year. Even the company

The Yongning Fort they rebuilt is no longer needed, Lieutenant General Xu has led the North Road Patrol Battalion northward to occupy the Yongning Fort City!"

"Okay, I understand. Is there anything else?"

"Um - no more. The rest are all trivial matters. We'll talk about them when the Governor is free."

When Qiu Biyong saw that Yang Zhen heard that Hong Chengchou had delivered those so-called letters between Qing captives and Yang Zhen to the capital, he began to feel a little uneasy and absent-minded, and seemed a little worried.

So he decisively ended the topic and ended the meeting.

He originally had some matters of his own that he wanted to report to Yang Zhen.

But after much thought, he felt that no matter how big his problem was, it was still a trivial matter, so he didn't talk about it.

Of course, his own matter is his marriage to Xia Cheng's daughter.

This time Xia Chengde sent him to Zhenjiang Fort to deliver a message. Apart from official business, it was also a private matter.

It has been nearly a year since the Xia and Chou families were engaged, and the daughter of the Xia family has also reached the age of hairpins and can talk about marriage.

Therefore, Xia Chengde simply asked Qiu Biyong to take advantage of this opportunity to deliver the letter, mention it in front of Yang Zhen, set a date for the matter, and then wait until spring is warm to get married.

However, after much thought, he saw that Yang Zhen looked heavy-hearted, so he did not immediately bother Yang Zhen with such a matter.

Seeing that he had nothing else to say, Yang Zhen immediately called Ma Keqing and asked him to arrange all the food and lodging affairs for Qiu Biyong and his followers. Then he told Qiu Biyong to have a good rest and hurriedly left Qiu Biyong's residence.

Back at his residence, Yang Zhen originally wanted to summon Zhang Chen and others to discuss countermeasures and whether to send people to the capital as soon as possible to quell the matter, but after much deliberation, no one was invited to discuss the matter.

First of all, this matter is not a battle after all. Although Yang Zhen has many generals under his command, there is no one suitable for such a thing.

Secondly, the fact that he wrote back to Huang Taiji asking for beautiful women was well known to all the generals in Zhenjiang Fort. Asking them to settle the matter would be self-defeating.

Things like this are suitable for people like Fang Guangchen to handle, but Fang Guangchen is not around, so there is no point in worrying.

Furthermore, Yang Zhen also suddenly figured out that whether the divorce plan deployed by Huang Taiji would really work in the end would depend on how well Yang Zhen himself fought at Zhenjiang Fort.

Now that he has won the battle and the Qing captives have been repulsed, and with the heads of important figures such as King Huaishun of the Qing captives and the bachelor of the Secretariat of the Qing captives in his hands, who can doubt that he will fight with the Qing captives in private?

What about peace talks?

Not to mention that they did not negotiate a peace with the Qinglu, even if they had to connect the withdrawal of the Qinglu with these things, as long as they have troops and horses in hand, who can do anything to them?

Of course, Yang Zhen didn't want the trouble to reach this point in the end.

But he knew very well that Huang Taiji's alienation plan was not easy to break.

Especially for a divided court and a jealous emperor, as long as the seeds of suspicion are planted in your heart, sooner or later it will blossom and bear fruit.

Fortunately, I had thought of this a long time ago, and now I am not subordinate to Ji Liao Governor Hong Chengchou, but to the Jingying camp.

No matter how dissatisfied and doubtful Hong Chengchou is about himself, he will never come over to kill him like Yuan Chonghuan did when he killed Mao Wenlong.

Besides, with the precedent that Yuan Chonghuan was good at killing Mao Wenlong, whether it was Hong Chengchou himself, other ministers in the court, or Emperor Chongzhen, they had to carefully consider the consequences of doing so.

Therefore, after thinking about it, Yang Zhen did not rush to find someone to deal with this hidden worry. Instead, he put it aside for the time being and concentrated on taking care of the military affairs at hand.

On the night when King Geng Zhongming of Huaishun died and the Qing camp on Weihua Island was captured, among the several camps on Weihua Island, Song Guofu and Shi Mingxiong at the southern end each led their troops to revolt and surrender.

Although both of them were Jia Lazhangjing, after the war, after the war, their troops combined together had less than 1,100 men left.

Among them, Song Guofu's group had slightly more people, with more than 600 people left, while Shi Mingxiong's group had less than 500 people.

As for the Geng tribe of the Chinese army camp on the island, which was directly related to the Han army soldiers and horses of Zhenghuang Banner, most of them were killed, a small number fled, and some became prisoners, about four to five hundred people.

Yang Zhen originally intended to divide these four to five hundred people into two and give them directly to Song Guofu and Shi Mingxiong as compensation.

However, Shi and Song, who had a deep quarrel with Geng Zhongming's direct lineage, would rather accept the Huaishun King's soldiers and horses and the North Korean men captured by Ningguo to make up for their respective losses, but were unwilling to accept these prisoners who were Geng's direct lineage.

On the contrary, Shi and Song unanimously suggested to Yang Zhen that all these people should be executed.

However, Yang Zhen felt that if he killed all these people, it would cut off the way for other people to rebel against the Eight Banners and Han Army in the future, so he hesitated and did not agree.

Of course, Yang Zhen does not kill these people, but it does not mean that he will keep these people in vain, let alone let these people live in his army.

Moreover, since both Shi and Song disliked them and believed that they would not serve loyally and therefore refused to recruit them, Yang Zhen naturally would not take the risk of placing them in other regiment sentries.

In this case, we have no choice but to send them to hard labor camps to see the effects.

Therefore, under Qiu Zhenhai's suggestion, Yang Zhen finally merged these people with the more than 200 Qing captives and true Tatars captured by Zhang Chen and others from the Jirharang camp in the west of the city, and the more than 600 dynasty servants.

, the fourth prison camp was re-established.

At the same time, Shi Mingxiong was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Fourth Prison Battalion, and more than 400 people under Shi Mingxiong's command were asked to cut off their braids and serve as the officers, leaders and supervisors of the Fourth Prison Battalion, and ordered them to be under Qiu Zhenhai's control.

command.

Shi Mingxiong and his men had a deep grudge against Geng Zhongming's direct lineage. At the same time, Geng Zhongming's death was closely related to the mutiny of Shi Mingxiong's men. I believe they would get along "happily" with each other.

Yang Zhen is full of confidence in this and is also very relieved.

Of course, the military affairs that need to be dealt with urgently in front of Yang Zhen are not just this. Geng Zhongming's unexpected death and Jierhalang's hasty evacuation also left Yang Zhen with thousands of people, livestock and mountains of people.

various property materials.

They had plundered these things from the east of Yajiang River and Ningguo. They traveled thousands of miles back and forth and worked hard to transport them back. Now almost all of them have fallen into the hands of Yang Zhen's troops.

These people and livestock need to be distributed and resettled, and the mountains of grain, grass, weapons, property, and materials need to be counted and transported into the city and put in bags for safety.

Even those heavy artillery pieces that were destroyed during the artillery battle in the east of the city, as well as those that were not destroyed but were frozen on the ice of the river, whether they were usable or unusable, they all needed to be cleared out.

, transported back to the city.

Among them, if you can use them, reinstall the wheels of the gun carriage, or fix them directly on the fort at the head of the city and continue to use them.

Those that have been destroyed, cracked and unusable should be kept for future use and re-melted into new barrels. In short, those copper and iron materials cannot be wasted.
