Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

He immediately knelt on the ground and said excitedly: "The emperor entrusts you so much, how dare I not do my best, willing to go through fire and water for your majesty."

Zhao Ning hurriedly helped him up, and said earnestly, "This military intelligence department involves military and state secrets. You must be cautious. I believe you can handle it well."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will live up to your Majesty's trust."

"Okay! Now that you're here, I'm relieved. I can finally get to know the situation of the army, the people, and the enemy in the north on a regular basis. I want to know this. I won't ignore the people in Hebei and Hedong. I promise you that I will definitely drive out the gold thieves and return them to you." My rivers and mountains, return all the living people a safe and happy land."

Ma Kuo burst into tears immediately. He has seen too many tragic life and death these days.

The entire land of Hebei trembled and bled under the butcher knife of the Jin army, and countless people were homeless and died violently on the roadside.

A real man, with a sword in front of him, doesn't change his face, but seeing the people die, he can't help but feel sad from his heart.

"Your Majesty, I will never give up!"

As if he suddenly remembered something, Ma Kuo said: "Your Majesty, I want to impeach Du Chong, the prefect of Cangzhou. Du Chong killed the people arbitrarily, causing the people in the north to hate the court and scattered their hearts!"

What he said was that at the end of the previous year, when the Jin army attacked the Song Dynasty for the first time, a large number of Han people fled south from the land of Yanyun.

When entering Cangzhou, Du Chong killed all these people as spies sent by the enemy.

Even children of a few years old are not spared, they are all killed and executed.

Du Chong is not only good at drilling camps, but also very easy to kill.

In history, after Zong Ze died of illness in Tokyo, Zhao Gou sent Du Chong to guard Tokyo.

After Du Chong arrived in Tokyo, he withdrew all Zongze's defenses, and Wanyan Wushu came to attack Tokyo. This guy didn't want to defend, but he pushed the Yellow River away, causing a yellow flood area that has been a disaster for thousands of years.

And this traitor, who was a good guy, later surrendered to the Kingdom of Jin.

Let's say that Du Chong killed so many unarmed civilians in Cangzhou. If this incident is not severely punished, will other officials follow suit?

Once people fled here, they all adopted the principle of killing them cleanly. How could the court's prestige in Hebei be maintained?

The people are the key to victory in this war.

Although at this time, the role of ordinary people has not really been brought into play.

Zhao Ning patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I have already sent someone to take this person. I didn't move him before because Cangzhou still needs someone to sit in town. Now that Li Gang is here, I have heard about Du Chong's evil deeds a long time ago." , I will not forgive him."

"Your Majesty is wise!" Ma Kuo said again, "There is also Liu Yu, who is an ordinary person on the East Hebei Road. When the gold thief came, this person abandoned the city and fled, causing the rest of the officials to move after hearing the news, and the people ignored it!"

Liu Yu, the big traitor in history, of course Zhao Ning knew that he had already sent someone to look for Liu Yu, but Liu Yu seemed to have entered a mouse hole.

"Do you know where he is now?"

"This official only knows that he fled all the way south, so he must not be in Hebei. Given his timidity, he might be hiding on Huainan East Road."

Liu Yu in history hid in Yangzhou.

Zhao Ning also sent people to Yangzhou to look for it, but they couldn't find it.

This guy is a puppet emperor supported by the Jin people.

According to the current situation, if the Jin people really support him again, even if the Jin people withdraw their troops, the land of Hebei will fall into even more tragic internal friction.

"You also use the people in your hands to search for Liu Yu with all your strength. If you find him, don't kill him and escort him to the capital. I will use his head to show the public and pass it on to the border towns!"

"Yes!"

"When people's hearts are broken, the Military Intelligence Department must choose reliable people. You don't have to worry about the military intelligence department's expenses. I will definitely support you with all my strength."

Later, Zhao Ning and Ma Kuo talked in detail about his construction of the Military Intelligence Department.

Including selection criteria, placement of intelligence personnel, training, intelligence secret transmission, how to mobilize the power of the people, and what kind of name to use as a code name.

If there are spies, how to deal with them quickly, how to deal with traitors, etc.

What Zhao Ning said may not be professional in some places, but the core logic is clearly expressed. Ma Kuo helped him improve the details.

The two chatted until dark.

After Ma Kuo left, Zhao Ning wrote to Zong Ze.

Zhao Ning tried not to interfere with the military deployment on the front line, after all, his knowledge of the front line was very limited.

However, given the current situation in Hebei, bandits are raging everywhere, and we cannot sit idly by.

He wrote to Zongze, hoping that Zongze could send a team to suppress the bandits.

Moreover, he asked Yue Fei to come out by name.

It's time for Yue Fei to fight monsters and upgrade, after all, there is still a long way to go.

Moreover, the Jin army must be mobilizing food and grass right now, and a large number of spies may have become active in Hebei and Hedong.

Let Yue Fei go out and do a small-scale field battle.

September [-], Cangzhou, Hebei.

Li Gang, the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Front, is checking the recruiting situation in Cangzhou at the commander-in-chief's mansion.

Han Shizhong walked in, and he said: "Li Xianggong, I heard that the commander of the Jin army who came to Hejian Mansion this time is called Wan Yan Zongfu. The gold thieves have already begun to deploy defenses in Hejian Mansion. Some people saw a grain transport team going to Hejian Mansion. The government will transport grain."

When Li Gang came to Cangzhou, he still valued Han Shizhong very much. After all, Han Shizhong was personally appointed by His Majesty the Emperor to assist him.

Moreover, Han Shizhong has always been famous, has great military achievements, and has a good command of the army.

"How many troops does the Golden Army have?"

"It's not known yet."

"Continue to investigate."

"Yes." Han Shizhong paused, and then said, "Li Xianggong, I heard that Du Chong sent people to kill people outside the city two days ago."

"What! How can he be so reasonable!" Li Gang was furious, and said to Zhang Suo next to him, "Ask Du Chong to come see me!"

Zhang Suo said: "Li Xianggong, Du Chong is easy to kill, and he is responsible for the collapse of Cangzhou people's hearts. It is better to kill him as an example."

"Find him first."

"Yes."

At this time, Du Chong was counting money in the magistrate's office, writing letters while counting.

Naturally, he wrote a letter to the general of the Jin Army.

It was already the end of September, and the news of the Jin army's invasion of the border spread throughout Hebei, and there was a sudden panic.

Panic is spreading everywhere.

According to rumors, Cangzhou was the focus of the Jin army's attack.

Du Chong absolutely does not want to face the Jin army head-on.

As for Li Gang, he knew that he was the hardest-headed "anti-gold hardliners".

If this continues, he will undoubtedly die, so it is better to surrender to the Jin army first.

While he was counting the money, a voice suddenly came from outside: "Prefect Du!"

Du Chong was taken aback, and shouted impatiently, "What's the matter!"

"Another group of refugees fled to Cangzhou."

Du Chong shouted casually: "Kill! Kill them all! No one will be left behind!"

At this time, another person came and shouted outside: "Prefect Du, someone outside the yamen wants to see you."

"I don't see anyone now!"

"The other party said that he is from the capital, and that he is His Majesty's special envoy. He wants to see you by name."

When Du Chong heard that he was sent by His Majesty the Emperor, he immediately regained his spirits.

That's good!

If the Jin army is unwilling to recruit him, he hastened to go south to get rid of Li Gang, and it is best to go to the capital to become an official.

He packed up and prepared to go out to meet the emperor's special envoy.

Chapter 111 Killing Du Chong

Du Chong quickly hid the money, put on his official hat, and tidied up his clothes.

After all, before you die... oh no, after all, you should be more serious when you meet the envoy of the Son of Heaven.

He opened the door and said to the people outside, "Where is the angel?"

"It has been placed in the front hall."

Du Chong walked to the water tank on one side, took a photo on the water surface, made sure that his official hat was straight, and tidied up his collar before walking out swaggeringly.

"Officer, those Cangzhou refugees are quite a lot this time, a total of..."

Du Chong said impatiently: "Didn't I make it clear just now! Kill! Kill them all! No one is allowed to stay! If you dare to keep one alive, I only ask you!"

"But Li Xianggong is not easy to explain..."

"This official is the prefect of Cangzhou. This official is protecting Cangzhou. Are those refugees? Those are spies of the Jin people!"

"But some are children..."

Du Chong scolded over his head and covered his face: "Don't you want to do it? Get out if you don't want to do it. There are so many people who are willing to work in the Yamen! No one is allowed to live before dark today."

Du Chong flicked his long sleeves and strode forward.

A few people didn't dare to say anything, and followed closely behind.

When Du Chong arrived in the front hall, the domineering look just now disappeared immediately, with a smile on his face, he clasped his fists and said: "The angel is here, and the lower officials are not far away to meet you. Forgive me, forgive me."

An imperial city secretary wearing brocade clothes and black boots stood up straight. He was a young man in his early twenties.

A height of more than 1.8 meters is the most basic requirement for entering the Imperial City Division.

This young man is called Li Fu, with the title of Commander of the Imperial City Division, and one under the head of the capital, which is equivalent to a centurion.

The Imperial City Division is now vigorously expanding its recruitment, and young people will have opportunities as long as they are willing to work.

Coming to Cangzhou was also proposed by Li Fu.

"Your Excellency is Du Chong, the prefect of Cangzhou?"

"The next official is Du Chong."

"Do you know why we are looking for you?"

Du Fuman smiled flatteringly and said flatteringly: "Cangzhou is now an important border defense area, His Majesty must send you to visit the border. Don't worry, Cangzhou is guarded by lower officials, and the gold thieves will never be allowed to go too far! "

Li Fu said with a smile: "Someone impeached you for killing civilians in Cangzhou, is there such a thing?"

The smile on Du Chong's face suddenly froze, and he said quickly: "Angel, those are not civilians, they are spies of gold thieves. They wanted to sneak into Cangzhou to inquire about our military situation, but they were discovered by the subordinates in time. To be loyal to His Majesty, to execute them all, Your Majesty is absolutely..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Fu slapped him.

with a snap.

The pump made Du Chong tilt his body, staggered two steps, and almost fell to the ground.

Five finger prints appeared on the fat and tender face, and some of them didn't react for a while.

The few people who followed Du Chong did not react.

What's happening here?

Du Chong covered his face, looked at Li Fu with that shocked and aggrieved eyes, and screamed piercingly from his mouth.

"Angel, this..."

"Let me ask you again, to recruit or not to recruit?"

Fuck, angel, you used the wrong word, why did you use the word "trick" right from the start?

Are you on trial now?

Du Chong said with a bitter face: "Angel, this is a misunderstanding, those people killed by the lower officials are..."

Before he could finish speaking, Li Fu shot a glance at the imperial city secretary next to him.

A strong class went straight up, grabbed Du Chong like a chicken, and dragged him to the side of the pillar.

Grab his head and slam it against the beam.

There was a bang bang.

Those who rushed out following Du Chong were dumbfounded.
