The sun never sets in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 520

Zu Dashou is also an out-and-out conspirator, he was able to abandon several of his sons and many old subordinates who were born and died, and fled back to Jinzhou with conspiracies and tricks.

It can be seen from this that this person is a despicable person who only cares about his own interests. He can even abandon his son for his own sake. How can such a person have righteousness in his eyes?Expecting Zu Dashou to serve the country faithfully is like seeking skin from a tiger.

Zu Dashou, who fled to Jinzhou, was not willing to be a military officer with no soldiers and no power. He tried in vain to regain Jinzhou's military power.

He Kegang used to be a lieutenant general, and his troops were only 5000% of Zu Dashou's, and he was suppressed by Zu Dashou all the time. Now, of course, it is impossible to follow the orders of this commander-in-chief who lost [-] troops, lost his garrison in the city, and came back alive. .

After Jiannu withdrew, scattered Ming soldiers who garrisoned Dalinghe City fled back to Jinzhou, revealing that Zu Dashou had surrendered Jiannu.

He Kegang sent his henchmen to monitor Zu Dashou with suspicion, and accidentally intercepted the letters between Zu Dashou and Jiannu.

He Kegang, who didn't rub the sand in his eyes, was furious, and secretly played the story of the court ancestor's surrender to the enemy.

Emperor Chongzhen was furious when he received the secret report, and the scenes of the past came back to his mind. He decided to send Tiqi to arrest Nazu Dashou and return to Beijing.

Cao Huachun can be said to have a high position and weight. He is not only the top leader of the East Factory, the first secret service organization of the Ming Dynasty, but also the admiral of the Jingying Rongzheng.

Chongzhen knows that Zu Dashou has been operating in Liaodong for many years, and his network of relationships is intricate. A little carelessness will directly lead to Zu Dashou leading his troops to surrender to the enemy.

Cao Huachun is an old man from Xinwang Qiandi, a person whom Chongzhen valued and trusted unconditionally. It can be seen that the emperor can entrust him with such an important task.

After receiving this difficult task, Cao Huachun was very worried. It was not easy to capture the rebel general among the thousands of troops in Liaodong.

Cao Huachun, a general in Liaodong, has heard for a long time that Dongchang Fanzi traveled thousands of miles. After being beheaded by those warlords, he was reported to Chang Gong's command as bad luck. He was attacked by Jiannu and all died in a fierce battle.

well!Difficult!The factory owner sighed at home.

Seeing his godfather so depressed, Lu Zhi asked, "Godfather, what's bothering you?"

Cao Huachun looked at Lu Zhi and remembered the matter of meeting his cousin He Xiang by making a bridge, and reflexively remembered Huang Sheng, Marquis of Nan'an, and asked, "Have you been in contact with Marquis Huang Sheng's family recently?"

"No, but if the godfather wants to contact them, it's easy."

"Good, good, good, with the assistance of Master Huang, the 'God of War', great things can be accomplished."

Cao Huachun made up his mind and sent Lu Zhi to contact the Huang family and horses to discuss with Dongchang how to capture Zu Dashou.

He knew that this distant relative had been running Liaodong for many years, and even though the main force had gone to the South China Sea, the subordinates who stayed in their hometown would not be too weak.

Lu Zhi contacted Tang Daoheng and said frankly that Mr. Cao was ordered to arrest Zu Dashou. Due to the complicated situation in Liaodong, he was worried that Zu Dashou would rebel and surrender after Jin, so he asked Huang's family to use his Liaodong network for assistance.

Tang Daoheng quickly reported to Qian Meng, the chief officer of the Northern Zhili Military Intelligence Department, and then several top leaders of the Northern Zhili Military Intelligence Department held a meeting to make a plan.

At the end of March in the fifth year of Chongzhen, a team of 2000 horses and horses was dispatched from Zhongmingbao, followed by more than [-] civilian husbands recruited from Zhongmingbao pushing wheelbarrows and driving four-wheeled carriages.

Their high-sounding task was to deliver grain, grass and equipment to Jinzhou. Since the wheat in Jinzhou’s farmland was harvested by Jian slaves last year, Jinzhou was short of grain, so it was reasonable to send grain and grass during the spring famine.

A small half of the 2000 troops were the Huang family musketeers stationed at Zhongming Fort and the recently upgraded senior Xiangyong, and the other [-] were cavalry sent by Qing Getai after selection.

The more than 500 civilians in Zhongmingbao are not so pure. Among them, there are more than half of the junior and intermediate township braves, and their combat effectiveness may be able to overwhelm the ordinary Ming frontier army.

In order to gain the appreciation of his godfather for his meritorious service and strive to get ahead as soon as possible, Lu Zhi took this seemingly dangerous job and took a dozen Dongchang flags to disguise himself as a military commander to participate in the operation.

The relevant documents and military badges were all available, and the food delivery personnel before the army entered Jinzhou City easily. Zuo Shouquan, who presided over the operation, immediately contacted the agents in the Jinzhou Ming Army.

The chief general of the Ming army was the main surveillance target of the Military Intelligence Department, and Zu Dashou's official residence was not a secret place. Zuo Shouquan and Tang Daoheng quickly learned about Zu Dashou's situation and obtained a detailed map of his home.

Zuo Shouquan sent out surveillance points to monitor the ancestor's house. In order not to startle the snake, even He Kegang didn't notify him in advance. At four o'clock that night, more than a thousand people surrounded Zu Dashou's mansion.

At the same time, under the command of Tang Daoheng, [-] civilians pushed carts and blocked the four city gates of Jinzhou with grain bags indiscriminately. It may not be easy for the people in the city to leave.

Lu Zhi has been involved in it all the time. He doesn't know how to form an army, he is very obedient and obedient, and he will do whatever the Huang family asks him to do.

Everyone in the Huang family is so capable, even the details have been carefully considered to ensure that there are no omissions, and the eunuch Lu Zhi is so admired.

He saw that everything was proceeding according to the plan that the Huang family had been talking about, and knew that now that Zhizhu was in his hands, he was surrounded by Dongchang Fanzi and came to the former Liaodong Governor's Office in Jinzhou to beat drums and gather to read out the imperial edict.

After receiving the imperial edict, He Kegang of course actively cooperated with the action, dispatched his confidant generals to guard the four gates, and personally led a group of Jinzhou civil and military personnel to rush to the besieged Zu Dashou General Military Mansion.

The commander who surrounded the general's mansion was Zuo Shouquan. He had Huang Jiazhengbing musketeers and a hundred generals in his hands. Now they are all armed with live ammunition and lined up in attack formation.

Zu Dashou, who heard the sound of Jujiang's drum, also hurriedly got up and dressed to go to the Governor's Yamen, but he was unable to go out.

Zu Kuan, the head of the housekeeper, told the head of the family that the mansion was surrounded by a group of people of unknown origin.

It was obvious that the Dongchuang incident happened, and Zu Dashou's back felt cold. After all, he had been fighting for many years and reacted quickly, so he immediately ordered the assembled family members to prepare for a desperate battle to break through.

Zuo Shouquan sneered a few times when he saw that the servants in Zu Dashou's mansion were ready to move. He knew with confidence that the enemies who had fallen into the scheme of the Huang family had not had any accidents in which they could escape.

He ordered his subordinates to be on high alert to prevent their prey from jumping over the wall in a hurry.

The other party is the Ming army. They cannot be punished without teaching. This is the rule of the Huang family's private soldiers.

The Huang family's musketeers read out the already-familiar imperial decree three times in unison. Zu Dashou saw that his defection to the enemy had been revealed and wanted to resist, but his crying old wife hugged his thigh tightly.

She said: "My lord, the imperial court is just taking my lord to the capital for questioning. The result is still unknown. If you don't follow the order now, it's like treason, and there is no room for maneuver!"

"Women's opinion, if I'm arrested and taken to the capital, there will be a life? Maybe I can escape if I fight hard now."

At this moment, the voice of He Kegang who hurried to the scene sounded: "Zu Shaochuan, I have sent heavy troops to guard the four gates, and now the gates are blocked. It is not Jinzhou people who surround your mansion, they are Huang Shenghou. Qianguan Qiandao musketeer, you'd better catch him without a fight, if you dare to rebel, don't blame me for not being sympathetic."

Eunuch Lu Zhi had already put on his official uniform at this time, seeing that Zu Dashou had already been surrounded to death, he knew that the event was over!With a shrill voice, he said to those ancestors who were confronting the Ming army:

"The holy decree arrests Zu Dashou and goes to the capital to interrogate him. Follow the crowd and forget about the past. Aren't you soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, and you are not supported by the court. You know that if the court punishes you for treason, the nine clans will be implicated?"
