Traveling Through the Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber: The Ming Zun Zhang Wuji

Chapter 600 The Prelude to the Storm
At the moment, Zhang Wuji's two words made him lose his temper.

Su Mengqing just said helplessly: "Actually, it's nothing, it's just a cunning rabbit's three burrows. Our Su family has been operating in Suzhou for many years. We have left several secret ways to escape in case of unexpected events. My father and I could escape from Suzhou so easily. The city benefits from this.”

"It's just that I deliberately left a loophole in that secret passage. Zhang Shicheng's men had already discovered it when they were chasing us. It must have been filled in by now. But apart from that one, there are two more that have not been opened. Access is available.”

"All of us can easily enter the city with our strong martial arts. And the sergeants can use these two secret passages to sneak into the city quietly. When the time comes, the inside and outside will be coordinated, and taking Suzhou City will be just a piece of cake."

"Although I am in the palace now, my maid often corresponds with my father. And the internal agent I placed next to Zhang Shicheng sent back the news that Zhang Shicheng is looking for the treasure left by our Su family. It is precisely because of this , he moved the capital from Gaoyou to Suzhou, and now Zhang Shicheng’s residence is in our Su family’s residence.”

Zhang Wuji praised: "I didn't expect that Sister Su's intelligence was so good, and she could even find out where Zhang Shicheng lived!"

Su Mengqing replied: "As the saying goes, 'wealth can lead to the gods', our Su family is a wealthy person in the south of the Yangtze River, and I am also good at giving, and have made many friends from all walks of life. And I have received a large amount of gold and silver in return. , they are naturally willing to work hard for us."

"Besides, there is no need for them to actually die, they are just passing on some news. For passing on some valuable news, you can get hundreds or thousands of taels of silver as reward. Although this money is not a lot in the eyes of you and me, but If you want to buy a house and land with this money, it will be enough to bring blessings to several generations."

"And this key information was told to us by a Qinhuai singer named "Hongyu" who was close to Zhang Shicheng. She was sold to the Qinhuai River by her parents as a prostitute. A few years ago, I paid to redeem her body and help her escape. into the fire pit. She must be repaying my kindness back then."

But at this time, Su Mengqing also noticed Zhang Wuji's "speak within words".

Then Su Mengqing quickly waved her hand and explained: "Your Majesty, please rest assured. No matter how powerful I am, I have not placed an informant around the Emperor. Even if I did, she is just a concubine."

Seeing Su Mengqing's look, Zhang Wuji laughed loudly.He then said: "Sister Su, don't be nervous. I'm just asking casually. Sister Su's intelligence network is of great help to us. If possible, I would like to incorporate them into the imperial court in the future to monitor my subordinates." Are the officials enforcing the law impartially?"

Zhao Min also said: "This is a good idea. I heard that in the previous dynasty, there was an organization called the Imperial City Division, which specialized in collecting intelligence for the court and was ordered by the emperor to capture disobedient people. We can just follow our example."

When Zhang Wuji heard this, he also said: "This is a good suggestion. We don't have a similar organization at the moment. However, the name of the Imperial City Division is not good. I think we should just call it 'Jinyiwei'."

Zhao Min murmured: "Jinyi night patrol, don't do any evil, this is a good name. Just call it 'Jinyiwei'."

Zhang Wuji originally planned to call him "Bad Person", but he always felt that the name "Bad Person" was more oppressive than Jin Yiwei.

But when he thought that his country's name was Ming, he still planned to follow historical facts.But he didn't expect that the Ming Dynasty's first secret service organization would be established while he was talking and laughing with two women.

Zhang Wuji looked at Su Mengqing and said: "In that case, it will be up to Sister Su to form the Jinyi Guards in the future. Sister Su can also become the first 'Supervisory Commander'. She will be directly controlled by me. When the world is at peace, I will also start from Some close friends from the old Mingjiao department will be appointed to serve together. In this way, this organization will be more controllable by us."

Su Mengqing accepted the order and said: "Yes! I will obey your Majesty's instructions."

After Zhang Shicheng and Zhu Yuanzhang left Wuchang City, they formed a bloody alliance on the ship and agreed to raise an army to resist Zhang Wuji.

Zhang Shicheng also intercepted Fang Guozhen halfway.This scared Fang Guozhen half to death, but he didn't do anything to Fang Guozhen. He just wanted Fang Guozhen to remain neutral for a period of time.And help him introduce Dayuan’s special envoy.Zhang Shicheng wanted to join forces with Meng Yuan to deal with Zhang Wuji.

Fang Guozhen was the most pragmatic person. In order to save his life and avoid the war, Zhang Shicheng and Zhu Yuanzhang killed him first after the war started.He directly agreed to Zhang Shicheng's conditions, and after returning to his territory, he immediately sent the Yuan Dynasty envoys supported by his house to escort them to Zhang Shicheng.

Zhang Shicheng also confessed to the Mongolian envoy that Zhang Wuji "forced the people to rebel", and he and Zhu Yuanzhang planned to take advantage of the opportunity to defect to the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasty.But the premise is that the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties must preserve their royal title and territory.

The Mongolian envoy immediately went north to resume his mission.

And now the battle within the Mongolian court has reached its final moments.

During the period when Polo Timur was in the capital, the King of Ruyang used coercion and solicitation to force Polo Timur's generals, Tolebo and Kong Xing, to remain "neutral."

But Polo Timur was huddled in the capital city and had become a lone army.

Without the support of foreign troops, King Ruyang also completely let go of his hands and feet, regrouping the heavy troops in the Taihang Mountains, and hundreds of thousands of troops surrounded most of the capital.

The defenders in the city suddenly lost their morale when they saw King Ruyang's huge formation, and what they did was indeed treason.

Just a few days after the siege, the defenders in the city surrendered after receiving King Ruyang's promise.

King Ruyang's army entered the city, and when Polo Timur was enjoying Emperor Yuan Shun's Sixteen Heavenly Demonic Dance, he was captured alive by some palace maids and eunuchs led by the crown prince.Then Polo Timur was taken outside the Meridian Gate and executed late.

The internal fighting in the Yuan Dynasty ended from then on.

Originally, King Ruyang and Tuotuo did not participate in this battle, only Wang Baobao participated.But because Zhang Wuji changed the world line, King Ruyang, who should have been assassinated long ago, is still alive today.Although Tuotuo is dead, King Ruyang is still there. The prestige of this Taiwei is not comparable to that of a young man named Wang Baobao.

Therefore, the internal struggle of the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties, which had temporarily come to an end in history, was completely ended under the authority of King Ruyang.

Although the Yuan court is in a mess now, at least order has been restored to the chaotic court.

After Zhang Shicheng's letter was delivered to the Prince of Ruyang's palace, the Prince of Ruyang was also very happy.

As a daughter, Zhao Min is very aware of her father's temperament.King Ruyang also accepted the surrender of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhang Shicheng as Zhao Min expected.And after discussing with Emperor Yuan Shun, he not only conferred on them the title of king, but also gave them the official title of Prime Minister of Zhongshu Province.

After resting and reorganizing, King Ruyang's army headed south of the Yangtze River under the leadership of Wang Baobao.
