Chapter 323: Crack down on gangsters and eliminate evil
In this great victory at Xuzhou, Suning directly captured nearly 170,000 Mongolian prisoners, all of whom were elite soldiers and generals. If he could transform them all into the Red Flag Army, he would be invincible.

At this time, Suning also received news from Chuzhou City. He knew that his lair was almost destroyed, and suddenly he felt a chill.

"Boss, has something happened?" Chang Yuchun saw Su Ning's anger and asked worriedly.

"Well! Something happened in Chuzhou City.

Aluhui escaped from prison and went to Yangzhou, leading 3,000 Miao soldiers to attack Chuzhou City. Suning tried his best to suppress his inner anger.

"What? What is Tanghe for?
So our loss is huge, isn’t it?”

“The loss is not that big!

But the shame of having our nest stolen outweighs the harm!
And I feel like I'm being too kind?

Why are so many people running out looking for death? It seems I need to show off my sword! "

At this time, Suning wanted to return to Chuzhou immediately, but he still had things to deal with, so he could only patiently arrange things in Xuzhou first.

"Chang Yuchun! Xu Da!"

"The general is here!"

"I order you to each lead an army of 100,000 infantry and cavalry to conquer all of Shandong. Then, you will establish a defensive offensive on the Shandong border and exert pressure on Liaodong and the Korean Peninsula.

Also, I will arrange for the navy to send troops to support your combat operations."

"Yes! Boss!"

Mao Gui on the side looked at Suning hesitantly, he also wanted to conquer Shandong area, after all, that was his hometown, he was eager to save his fellow countrymen with his own hands.

How could Suning not understand Mao Gui’s complex mentality? It is precisely because they know him too well that they cannot arrange for him to stay in Shandong.

"Mao Gui, you will lead 60,000 Red Flag troops to continue attacking Luzhou and Chizhou, and then enter Jiangxi and Hubei."

"Yes! Boss!"

Suning looked at the unwilling Mao Gui, and finally sighed and explained, "Mao Gui, I know you want to stay in Shandong.

It's just that you're too loyal to others, and it's dangerous to stay in a familiar place."

"Master, I will definitely complete your mission."

"Yeah! I believe you!"

After arranging matters in Xuzhou, Suning rushed back to Chuzhou with the remaining Red Flag Army because he knew that he had to take real action.

The news that the Red Flag Army wiped out the million-strong Mongol army completely detonated the land of China. The Mongol court in Dadu was trembling there, trying desperately to organize forces to counterattack again, but they found that they simply did not have the strength to do so.

When Liu Futong and Han Shantong from Henan heard the news, they couldn't believe it at first. When they confirmed the accuracy of the information, they were both shocked.

"Ming Wang, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

We can continue our Northern Expedition. The Mongol resistance this time must be very weak." Liu Futong looked at Ming Wang Han Shantong excitedly.

"Yeah! It's indeed a good opportunity.

However, we still underestimated the Red Flag Army. We didn't expect them to be so fierce! "Ming Wang Han Shantong nodded, and then expressed his deep feelings for the Red Flag Army.

"Yes! If I had known the Red Flag Army was so powerful, I should have formed an alliance with them.

However, their special envoy Hu Weiyong seems to be still in Yingzhou, and we can continue to negotiate with him."

"Well! Futong, go and talk!"

The news of the Red Flag Army's great victory strengthened the confidence of more people, and many anti-Yuan uprisings emerged, all wanting to take advantage of the opportunity to gain some benefits.

At this time, Suning had already returned to Chuzhou. Seeing Tang He running out of the city to kneel and greet him, Suning ignored him and went straight to Liu and his son. You know, the mother and son are his most important relatives.

"Sissi, are you guys okay?"

“We’re fine!
Thanks to the pistol you gave me, I was able to kill Aluhui directly, which forced the three thousand Miao soldiers to retreat, and then I was able to get them to surrender as I wished."

"Haha, I really didn't expect that!
My daughter Sissi has grown into a great woman."

Only then did Suning look at Tang He, who was kneeling to greet him, and said, "Get up!"

"Thank you, Boss!" Tang He then slowly stood up.

"Back to the city!"

Su Ning returned to the Su Mansion in Chuzhou City and began to deal with the matter of Aluhui's escape. "Director Chen, how is the Jinyiwei investigation going?"

"Reporting to the boss, Zhu Sishou from Jiqing Road was indeed involved in Aluhui's affairs, and it was also Zhu Sishou who helped Aluhui and the three thousand Miao soldiers enter Chuzhou City."

"Hmm! Should Zhu Sishou be arrested?"

"Yes! Boss, we have captured Zhu Sishou's entire family and they are now imprisoned in Jiqing Prison."

"Humph! All the Jinyiwei's next tasks will be to fight crime and eliminate evil under the rule of the Red Flag Army.

Report mailboxes were set up in various places, and all those reported and local evil forces were sent directly to the Jianghuai Salt Field to work without interrogation.

"Yes! Boss!"

This incident did make Suning angry, but he knew that the evil forces, like corrupt officials, could not be killed. It happened that the Red Flag Army had withdrawn too many salt workers from the Jianghuai Salt Field, which had now begun to affect the normal operation of the Jianghuai Salt Field. It was just right to send these evil forces from all over the country to the Jianghuai Salt Field.

"Su Ning, this is Ma Xiuying, the adopted daughter of Guo Zixing from Haozhou."

"Ah? Ma Xiuying?" Suning looked at the girl in front of him in surprise. She looked like a ripe red apple.

"My humble daughter Ma Xiuying greets the boss."

"Hmm! I heard that this time a female relative assisted my wife in surrendering the Miao soldiers. I guess this female relative is you, right?"

"Master, I can't say I'm any helper. Everything is planned and orchestrated by Madam."

"Haha, Miss Ma is being modest."

After Ma Xiuying and others left, Suning finally had time to check on his son Su Ming. Seeing his son sleeping soundly, Suning smiled with satisfaction.

Feeling his wife Liu beside him, Suning emotionally picked her up and carried her to the bedroom, then...
The "quarrel" lasted for a long time before they both stopped, breathlessly saying, "Xixi, I'm sorry!
I'm sorry to scare you!"

"Suning, you are much more dangerous than me.

It must be very dangerous for you in Xuzhou this time, right?" Liu lay on Suning's chest, listening to his rhythmic heartbeat.

"Haha, it's not dangerous at all!
This time, our Red Flag Army completely wiped out the Mongol army, and our strength once again grew to a new level.

I had no intention of attacking Shandong originally, but now that our strength has improved, I have started to think about it."

"Yeah! That's good!

Ma Xiuying and Guo Ning'er are the concubines Hu Weiyong and Guo Zixing offered to you. How do you plan to deal with them? "

“Huh? I have a headache too!
We have already robbed Zhu Yuanzhang of his kingdom. If we rob his women, wouldn't that be too unfair? "Su Ning felt a headache when he heard Liu's question.

"Tsk! What do you care about being honest or not?

Are you really willing to give this mature woman like Ma Xiuying to Zhu Yuanzhang?"

"Huh? Why would I be reluctant to give it up?
Originally, Ma Xiuying and Zhu Chongba were a couple! "

"Huh! What about Guo Ning'er?

Why don't you give her to Zhu Yuanzhang as well?
I remember that in history she was also Zhu Yuanzhang's concubine, right?"

"She? She can't!"

"Suning, do you particularly like young girls?

Guo Ning'er seems to be only thirteen years old this year, and Chen is also a minor. When we first met, you seemed to have feelings for me. I was only fifteen at that time. It seems that you really are a..."

"Ah? Sissi, how can you talk nonsense?
Guo Ning'er has two very capable brothers, and there's no way I'd give them to Zhu Yuanzhang."

"Guo Ying and Guo Xing?"

"Yes! These are two tough guys!"

"Suning, are you really just interested in Guo Ying and Guo Xing?" "Yes! There's also Hua Yun, who seems to be from Haozhou City. They will both be famous generals in the future."

"In that case, you should keep Ma Xiuying here too!

Since we are already the bad guys, let’s do it thoroughly.”

"Well! I said you would arrange all these things."

"If Ma Xiuying is left behind, won't it be very troublesome when arranging matters for Guo Zixing and his son?"

"Haha, you don't know yet!

Guo Tianxu has already been killed by Sun Deya, and now Guo Zixing is also dying."

"What? What happened in Haozhou?"

"Guo Zixing and Sun Deya have always been obsessed with Haozhou City. Chang Yuchun and Xie Jinzhong simply threw Haozhou City away. Not only will they kill each other, but it will also provide a buffer zone between our Red Flag Army and the Red Turban Army in Henan."

"Ah? Chang Yuchun has so many evil intentions?"

"Haha, no one who can leave his name in history is a simple person."

"Well, what about the soup and you?"

"He's a smart man, and he definitely wouldn't have anything to do with Aluhui. However, as a general who stayed behind in Chuzhou, he can't escape blame for such a serious incident!"

"Ok!"

"I intend to appoint him as division commander and have him lead the Red Flag Army and Mao Gui to attack Jiangxi and Hubei from Anhui."

"Alright!" Liu nodded in agreement with Suning's approach. "Suning, now that we have some buffer space with the Red Turban Army, shouldn't we recall Hu Weiyong?"

"Hmm? Li Shanchang came to beg you?"

"Yes! He gave me a lot of gifts. I don't know the details, so I asked you today."

"Hu Weiyong is a talented person, but he's too greedy. Our Red Flag Army is still in its infancy, yet he's taking bribes all the way to Yingzhou. Since he hasn't completed his mission, we can take this opportunity to teach him a lesson."

"Oh? I see!"

The next day, Suning issued a military order, and Tang He, Hua Yun, Guo Ying and Guo Xing were all appointed as division commanders, and each led 10,000 Red Flag Army troops.

Tang He led his troops to support Mao Gui's army in Luzhou. Guo Ying and Guo Xing each led their troops to support Zhu Yuanzhang in southern Zhejiang, allowing Zhu Yuanzhang to enter and occupy Jiangxi as soon as possible.

Hua Yun became the commander of Suning's guard division, responsible for protecting the safety of Suning and the families of the Red Flag Army generals. Of course, the number of people could not be just 10,000, and the specific number was not known to outsiders. Instead, it was the most mysterious unit of the Red Flag Army.

Liu arranged for Su Ning to take in concubines, and directly took Ma Xiuying and Guo Ning'er as concubines. Looking at the mature Ma Xiuying, Su Ning gently lifted her chin with his fingers.

"Ma, from today on, you are my Su Ning's woman."

"Yes! Master!"

"Hehe, you should just call me husband!"

"Yes! Husband!"

"Ma, as my Suning woman, I hope you only have me in your mind and stop thinking about the Guo family."

"Yes! Husband!"

It is said that a night of love is worth a thousand gold. Suning enjoyed it to the fullest that night. He felt that this was the good thing about feudal society: capable men could really do whatever they wanted.

When Chen saw Su Ning go to Ma Xiuying's room, she felt very disappointed because she had never been favored by Su Ning since she married him.

Sometimes Chen even suspected that Su Ning hated her, but when Madam Liu quietly explained to her that it was because Chen was too young, Chen began to doubt it.

Chen came to Su Ning's study and saw the man handling official business. She quickly made a cup of hot tea for Su Ning, "Husband, please have some tea?"

Suning looked up at Chen, gently took the tea and took a sip. Realizing that Chen was already sixteen years old this year, Suning directly hugged Chen in his arms.

"ah!"

It was the first time that Chen was hugged so intimately by Su Ning. Her ears couldn't help but turn red. "Chen Chen, the tea you made is really delicious."

"Husband, if you like, I can make you a hottie every day!"

"Well! Chen Chen, you are so good. Stay in my room tonight!"

"Ah?" Chen Chen looked at Su Ning in surprise, his eyes wide open and very cute.

"What? You don't want to?"

"No! I do!"

During this period, Suning spent the whole day hanging out in the backyard of Chuzhou. He felt refreshed every day and felt that this was the life he wanted.

The Jinyiwei acted very quickly and arrested the evil forces in the areas under the rule of the Red Flag Army at the first opportunity. The Red Flag Army was too lazy to interrogate them, so all their assets were confiscated and they were sent to the Jianghuai Salt Field to work as salt farmers.

As for the instigator Zhu Sishou, he was directly taken to the Caishikou on Jiqing Road by the Red Flag Army and beheaded. All members of their evil forces were also killed. The blood of nearly a thousand people dyed the Caishikou on Jiqing Road red.

The sudden action of the Red Flag Army shocked all the villains and made the area under the Red Flag Army much more peaceful. The vacuum industries left by the local evil forces were immediately taken over and managed by the officials of the Red Flag Army.

Just like the dock bosses and those who bullied the market were sent to the Jianghuai Salt Field, the Red Flag Army sent many soldiers who were discharged due to injuries, who would be responsible for regulating various markets in the future.

As for the most prosperous fireworks venues on Jiqing Road, they were all confiscated and officially operated by the Red Flag Army. All prostitutes had to be certified to work, and were free to come and go without any coercion. A department was also responsible for paying their wages. The thugs hired by each brothel were also sent to the Jianghuai Salt Field and the mines in southern Zhejiang.

With the support of reinforcements from Jiqing Road, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was already a fierce man, became even more powerful. He took the newcomers Guo Ying and Guo Xing and quickly wiped out the Mongolian Yuan forces in various parts of southern Zhejiang. He also recruited miners from southern Zhejiang as soon as possible. By the time the Red Flag Army invaded Jiangxi, the number of the Red Flag Army led by Zhu Yuanzhang and the other two had reached 200,000.

In order to prevent the tragedy of being too powerful to be controlled, Suning ordered Zhu Yuanzhang to lead 80,000 Red Flag Army soldiers, and Guo Ying and Guo Xing to lead 60,000 soldiers each, just to balance their respective ambitions.

Of course, it was not just that. Suning also transferred Xie Jinzhong to be the military supervisor of Zhu Yuanzhang's Third Division, and the former military supervisor of the Third Division, Guo Yingchun, was transferred to be the military supervisor of Chang Yuchun's Second Division.

Chang Yuchun, who was attacking Jinan at this time, felt very reluctant to see Xie Jinzhong go to Jiangxi to take up his post, because he had formed a good understanding with Xie Jinzhong.

"Old Xie, I really don't want you to leave!"

"Old Chang, you should understand what the boss means?
He was warning us to obey orders and follow instructions."

"Ok, I know!

But I still feel a little uncomfortable, after all, I mean well!"

“Haha, if the boss didn’t know you were kind-hearted, do you think he would just transfer me away?
I would have killed you with a knife a long time ago!"

"Huh? That's not the case!"

"Old Chang, you should know the boss's temper. He has great patience, but once his tolerance is crossed, he will be ruthless.

And now you are the boss's top confidant, and a confidant should obey orders!"

"Well! Old Xie, I understand what you mean.

If I have anything in the future, I will consult my boss."

"Well! I'm glad you understand!"

Watching Xie Jinzhong leave Jinan, Shandong and go to Jiangxi to take up his post under the protection of his guards, Chang Yuchun couldn't help feeling sad. He didn't know whether his new partner Guo Yingchun would be compatible with his temperament.

Mao Gui led a large army to directly capture Luzhou, and then captured all the upper-class Mongol nobles in Luzhou. Darughachi Zharchi was also captured by Mao Gui.

"Are you the Darughachi Zharchi of Luzhou City?"

"Bah! I am Zarchi! You can kill me or chop me up, it's all up to you!"

"Haha, I'm not interested in killing you. It's our boss who heard about your resume and wants to recruit you to serve in the Red Flag Army."

"Bah! You're dreaming!"

"Haha, it seems you still have your wild side!" Mao Gui looked at Zhaerchi with disdain. Zhaerchi could only say "Pooh". If Suning hadn't specifically asked for Zhaerchi, Mao Gui would have killed him long ago. "Someone come here!"

"General!"

"Lock Zarchi in the small dark room for seven days!" Mao Gui decided to train Zarchi in advance for his club Suning.

"Yes! General!" Two Red Flag Army soldiers dragged Zharchi away.
