Intelligence regarding Wang Zhaolin’s intention to surrender was quickly sent to Wuchang Prefecture, Huguang, and immediately divided into three copies.
The first was sent to Guangzhou for Ma Jixiang, the commander of the Guangzhou Brocade Guard and the primary architect of this operation. The second was sent to Changsha Prefecture for Li Ruolian, who was currently overseeing disaster relief efforts there. The final copy was sent to Beijing for the Great Ming Emperor Chongzhen.
Due to his proximity, Li Ruolian received the news first. Looking at the heavy intelligence in his hands, he sank into deep thought.
