Datong Town's border!
As far as Xu Hongji's eyes could see, there was a cloud of dust!
The meandering army brought new vitality to the vast and thick land of Shanxi!
Of course, he was more exhausted!
This was Sun Chuanting's greatest emotion when he saw the full appearance of the Tengxiang Four Guards!
He was travel-worn, and his intense running stirred up a large amount of dust. Before it could fall, it was mixed with sweat and solidified on his body!
Four days, from Beijing to Datong, a total distance of 800 li!
The price was that out of the twenty-two thousand four hundred soldiers of the Four Tengxiang Guards, only twenty thousand remained!
Although Lu Xiangsheng looked down on the combat strength of the Four Tengxiang Guards, he was still very satisfied with their endurance and tenacity!
"May I ask where the general is?"
Xu Hongji was the chief officer of Shanxi. After scanning the entire army, he was stunned and did not find the commander of the three armies. He only asked this question when he walked up!
"I'm Sima Shi of the Five Armies 'Governor's Office, Lu Xiangsheng, the commander of the Four Guards of Tengxiang!”
In front of him, a soldier in armor and holding a long spear wiped the solidified mud off his face, revealing a young face!
Twenty years old!
The general of the Imperial Army!
The only strange thing was probably that pair of eyes that were shining with starlight!
"General Lu, I am Xu Hongji, the commander of Shanxi. Welcome to Shanxi!”
Xu Hongji's smile gradually disappeared, and he began to worry. How could such a young general defeat the fox-like Jin merchants?
Could it be that the Emperor did not care about Shanxi at all?
"I'm Sun Chuanting, the governor of Datong Town. General Lu, you've worked hard!”
Suddenly, Sun Chuanting opened his mouth and reached out his hand to Lu Xiangsheng. He smiled and said,""General Lu, I've heard your story and believe in His Majesty's judgment!”
Xu Hongji was stunned!
Yes, Sun Chuanting, the governor of Datong Town, was only in his early twenties!
The other Datong Town deputy historian, Shi Kefa, was also younger than 30 years old!
Although he was young, the things he did were extremely important!
In order to seek evidence of the collusion between the Jin merchants and the Houjin, Sun Chuanting personally entered the Jin merchant caravan into the desert and obtained the letter Nurhachi sent to the head of the Jin merchants, Qiao Youwei!
After Shi Kefa raided the officialdom of Datong Town and obtained first-hand evidence, he directly used the name of " governor " to clean up the officialdom. Now, the officialdom of Datong Town was clear and peaceful. It could be said that he had contributed greatly!
"The evidence is conclusive?"
Lu Xiangsheng didn't waste his breath. He looked at Sun Chuanting and asked,""Where is the criminal?"
"The evidence is here!"
Sun Chuanting didn't hesitate at all. He directly handed over the letter that he had risked his life to get. He paused for a moment and said,"The three main culprits are currently all in Shanxi. The remaining accomplices are widely distributed, but most of them are also in Shanxi!”
"Where is the list of criminals?"
"The name list is here!"
Shi Kefa, who had been in charge for several months, stood up, took out a warm roster from his arms, and respectfully handed it to Lu Xiangsheng!
From his age, aura, and official position, Shi Kefa could clearly judge that Lu Xiangsheng's future achievements would definitely be higher than his. There was a hint of courtesy in his words. It was not surprising that he was polite!
"The imperial edict is here. From now on, I will take over the Shanxi border troops!”
After Lu Xiangsheng finished reading the roster, he took the imperial edict covered in dust from the attendant's hand and handed it to Xu Hongji. He shouted,"Shanxi General Xu Hongji, listen up. Immediately lead the border soldiers to seal off Shanxi. Before the criminals are arrested, not even a mosquito can be released!”
"Understood!"
Subconsciously, Xu Hongji knelt down on one knee. In a trance, he felt as if he had returned to the barracks and couldn't help but shiver!
"Datong Town Governor Sun Chuanting, Datong Town Deputy Shi Kefa, follow me to arrest the criminal immediately!”
Lu Xiangsheng turned to the three armies and shouted coldly,""The four guards of Tengxiang will return to their respective camps. All camp commanders, listen up. Eliminate the Jin merchants.”
"Kill them!"
His killing intent soared into the sky!
Xu Hongji felt a chill in his heart!
Sun Chuanting was eager to try!
Shi Kefa was extremely hesitant!
"General Lu, is this order too harsh?”
Shi Kefa's teacher was Zuo Guangdou, the Imperial Censor of the Zuo Qian Capital. Their personalities were very similar. When the army was divided into four and was about to move out, they braced themselves and walked out!
Those who resisted would be killed!
Similar to the Qiao Family Compound, other than Qiao Youwei and his family members, private soldiers, and ordinary servants, if they were all killed, it would be a violation of the heavens!
"All troops, attack!"
Lu Xiangsheng acted as if he did not hear him and decisively issued an order!
Immediately, the four battalions separated from each other and headed towards the various courtyards of the Jin merchants!
"Sun Chuanting, Shi Kefa, follow me! Xu Hongji will lead the army to seal the area!"
……
The first stop was the Qiao family's courtyard!
Qiao Youwei, who was proclaiming something in broad daylight, suddenly heard a loud noise and was immediately frightened to the point of wilting. He pushed away the unsatisfied eighteenth concubine in his arms in exasperation, put on his clothes, and strode out with his head held high!
In the courtyard, 500 private guards had already gathered!
As the uncrowned king of Shanxi!
Qiao Youwei had not been provoked for a long time!
She really didn't know how to die for disturbing her grandpa's elegant mood!
"Follow me. I'm going to kill someone today!”
Wearing a luxurious robe, coupled with absolute confidence, a domineering aura rose from Qiao Youwei's body!
Boom!
The door to the inner court was blasted open!
Lu Xiangsheng walked in with Sun Chuanting and Shi Kefa. The thousands of troops behind him were particularly eye-catching!
"Shi Zhenfu!"
Seeing who it was, Qiao Youwei's aura weakened. His eyes burned with anger as he gritted his teeth and said,"Shouldn't you give me an explanation?”
Although Jin merchants are arrogant!
But he was not crazy enough to go against the entire Great Ming Dynasty!
Shi Kefa was a pacifying officer who came out of nowhere from the imperial court. Qiao Youwei felt that he still had to give him the face he should!
But if Shi Kefa's explanation didn't satisfy him, then this matter couldn't be let go so easily!
"Criminal Qiao Youwei, treason, selling armaments, and treason. The evidence is conclusive.”
Lu Xiangsheng did not have the time to explain to him. He pointed with his right hand and ordered,"Take them all down. If they encounter resistance, kill them on the spot!”
Thousands of Imperial Army soldiers rushed into the inner court like wolves and tigers, raising their firearms at the same time and aiming at Qiao Youwei!
The accuracy of the military muskets was much worse than that of the Divine Arms Battalion's!
However, in such a small space and with so many firearms, accuracy was no longer a problem!
Clang!
Qiao Youwei's private soldier's knife fell to the ground. The crisp sound of metal colliding with the floor was very ear-piercing in this quiet courtyard...
