Chapter 46 Despicable
Just two days after Chongzhen convicted Lu Xiangsheng, Shunde Mansion sent another shocking news to the government and the public in Beijing. It was said that the Xingtian army defeated a Jiannu army in Neiqiu County on the 14th day of the twelfth lunar month, beheaded 1,700 people, and watered and built it with ice on the southern official road of Neiqiu County with the head of Jiannu. A Beijing view is spectacular, and the battlefield is full of headless corpses of Jiannu. It is a mess that is eaten by wild dogs and crows. At the same time, Xing Tianjun also rescued the 70,000 people abduction of Jiannu and is escorting these people abluts to the south.
Both Chongzhen and Yang Sichang were completely shocked by this news, and the officials sent by Shunde Prefecture to explore Neiqiu vowed that they had checked it. The heads of the building of Jingguan were indeed the heads of the Tari people, not by killing the Ming people.
Chongzhen is really a little dizzy. What's going on? He has millions of soldiers in the Ming Dynasty, but it is as convenient for Jiannu to enter the gate as walking on the street. During this period, bad news has come from everywhere since he entered the bandits. Either the general soldier was killed or the governor was killed, but no officer or army has ever reported the news of the big victory even the small victory. (Lu Xiangsheng and Tart Zi fought a small victory, Yang Sichang pressed and didn't report it, and Lu Xiangsheng didn't report it himself. As a result, Chongzhen didn't know!) On the contrary, the soldiers under Lu Xiangsheng's command were destroyed, and a Tatar head was not sent from Gao Qiqian. After Chen Xinjia arrived, he divided Lu Xiangsheng's soldiers, and there was no news. He led the troops around Baoding Mansion. He also did not hear about a battle with the Tatars. However, after Xing Tianjun went north, he killed more than 1,000 tars in Neiqiu. Zibing, if calculated according to the serious calculation, the loss of the tartar is at least more than 3,000.
And this does not include the previous news from Yang Tinglin and Julu County. If Xing Tianjun really fought with the Jiannu army in Julu and did win a big victory, then with the record of Neiqiu, Xing Tianjun himself killed more than 5,000 Jiannu.
Thinking of this, Chongzhen began to be angry and scolded, "These governors and generals eat the salaries of the court every day. What did they do? Why can the Xingtian thieves beat the Jiannu army? Their hundreds of thousands of troops let the Taris havoc in Beijing, but there has never been a half-time victory?
Yang Sichang really had nothing to say at this time. He was in a mess to suppress the bandits. He recommended a Xiong Wencan. Not only did he not suppress the bandits in Henan, but he also almost threw the whole Henan to the Xing Tian Army. Nearly 100,000 officers and soldiers were killed by the Xing Tian Army on the battlefield in Henan, one after another. The general was defeated by the Xing Tianjun.
Now he has built a slave and entered the bandit. He is the former secretary of the military department of the main soldier, and the current cabinet minister, first of all, the main peace. After revealing the wind, the main battle, he divided the military power of Lu Xiangsheng of the main war faction. As a result, Lu Xiangsheng was killed by the Ttars, who was killed in Shunde Prefecture. At the same time, he also divided his troops to Shanxi and went to Taiyuan Mansion, so that he had to divide Lu Xiangsheng's troops again and send Wang Pu back to Taiyuan to rescue. Now Gao Qiqian took tens of thousands of Guanning troops around Shunde Mansion, but he did not dare to fight with the tatars. Instead, he let Xing Tianjun go north, and a guy destroyed thousands of tatars.
Even if he is clever in this kind of thing, it is a little difficult to justify himself. In his heart, he has actually believed Yang Tinglin's words. Lu Xiangsheng is likely to be dead, and Gao Qiqian secretly sent someone to send him a letter yesterday, which also proved this news and said a batch of The generals under Lu Xiangsheng's command threw themselves into his camp, and all of them confirmed that they had seen Lu Xiangsheng's body. Lu Xiangsheng's death was actually very clear that it was caused by him and Gao Qi's potential obstruction in the dark. Now he is a little regretful. If they hadn't been for Lu Xiangsheng everywhere, let the officers and soldiers give it to Lu Xiangsheng. With the unification, the war may not be so rotten.
Now looking at the angry Chongzhen, he can only kneel down and plead guilty, saying that his dispatch was unfavorable, so that the war was so bad.
Chongzhen is furious, but now he still trusts Yang Sichang. How can he know what Yang Sichang and Gao Qiqian do to Lu Xiangsheng? Seeing that Yang Sichang took the initiative to plead guilty, I was a little moved. I felt that Yang Sichang was still brave and a person who dared to take responsibility. After thinking about it for a while, he shook his head and said, "You can't blame Yang Aiqing for this. After all, I'm also wrong, but the situation now is that the criminal thief is going north, which will definitely cause a lot of trouble. You Don't be negligent anymore!
Compared with Jiannu, the criminal thief is the confidant of the imperial court. How can they be used to fight against Jiannu? Otherwise, where will I be? And those people who have been taken captive by them, who are my people, can they be wrapped up in the land of thieves and become the obedient people of the thieves? Send someone quickly to tell Gao Qiqian that he must intercept these people and send them back to their hometown for resettlement! In a word, you can't let the criminal thieves take them away! In addition, Shunde Mansion, Guangping Mansion and Zhangde Mansion are strictly ordered to set up cards for me everywhere, in order to block the grain of the criminal thieves, and not to provide a grain supply to the thief army, otherwise they will be thieves! I will punish you severely!"
Yang Sichang secretly wiped a handful of sweat and quickly knelt down Xie En to accept the order, but his eyes turned, and then said to Chongzhen, "Kaizou Sheng, the Xing Tian thief brazenly went north. There must be no good intentions. They fought with Jiannu, but they were just a sloof! And Weichen thought that now that the Xingtian thief army is going north, the strength of the thief army in Henan will be insufficient. Taking this opportunity, it is a good opportunity to recover all parts of Henan! It's better for the emperor to personally issue a decree that Zuo Liangyu, the general of Huguang, take this opportunity to go north to recover all parts of the Central Plains. I understand that as long as General Zuo sent troops, the thief will have to return to the south, so that they will no longer make trouble in Beijing!"
After listening to this, Chongzhen was first happy. He felt that Yang Sichang's brain was really good, and his analysis was very reasonable, but on second thought, he felt that it seemed a little troublesome to do so. After all, the banner played by Xing Tianjun now is to help the court build slaves together, and they have actually sent troops to the north. Jiannu fought a battle and won a great victory. Now they have taken the initiative to stop the attack on the surrounding places in Henan, which is clear that it is to win the hearts of the people of the world. If the court sends troops to attack the territory under their control now, it will be a little sle.
And Chongzhen has now realized that Xing Tianjun may become a big enemy to compete with him for the world. Moreover, Xiao Tianjian, the thief chieftain of Xing Tianjun, is a very smart person who knows how to buy the hearts of the world. In the past two months, Xingtian thieves have preached everywhere that they want to fight with the court to control the Tart. For this reason, many scholars have expressed their This choice is supported, which is more terrible than their siege. What the emperor is most afraid of is that people's hearts fall to the enemy, and now Yang Sichang suggested that he mobilize troops to attack Henan. Isn't this given to the thief chief surnamed Xiao?
What's more, the tara is still raging in Guan. Now it's sending troops to Henan, isn't it a little bit like that? For this reason, Chongzhen frowned and hesitated a little.
Yang Sichang is a very smart person. As soon as he turned his eyes, he understood Chongzhen's hesitation, so he immediately said, "The emperor should not hesitate. You should know that the Xingtian thief went north this time to buy people's hearts. If they were to defeat Jiannu in Beijing, wouldn't it be more embarrassing? Now, taking advantage of its main elites going north, it is a good time to restore the Central Plains. Once Jiannu withdraws from the customs, the Xing Tianheft will return to Henan. At that time, if he wants to restore the Central Plains, won't it cost more troops? Therefore, the emperor can't hesitate now. You have to make a quick decision!"
At the thought of Xing Tianjun sitting in the Greater Central Plains, Chongzhen felt a chill in the bottom of his heart, and Xing Tianjun's strength is now getting stronger and stronger, and it has shown a state of being in the end. Although the court has been increasing its campaign against it in the past two years, the result is that the more and more they suppress it, the more the territory they occupy, the bigger it occupies. It is to deal with their officers and soldiers, one to be destroyed by them, and two to be killed by one pair, so that to some extent, Xing Tianjun and Jiannu are almost equal. When the officials mention them, they will be a little shudder. If Jiannu really return to the customs and then deal with Xing Tianjun, I don't know how many soldiers and horses to be sent. In the past! How much money and salary will it cost! Thinking about Chongzhen, I feel a sore and have a headache.
Although it is a little sleak to send troops to attack Henan now, which makes him feel a little shameless, but when you think about it again, this world is the world of their Zhu family. Henan is originally the Henan of his Zhu family. Isn't it a natural thing when he wants to take it back? And the criminal thief is a thief. What is there to say to them? It's time to get rid of them. It's more important to take this opportunity to weaken the strength of the rebels than to face them.
So Chongzhen no longer hesitated. He sat down and began to discuss with Yang Sichang how to deal with the Xing Tianjun. The two quickly agreed on a vicious method. Then the imperial edicts and the orders of the Ministry of War flew out of the capital and were taken to various places by the imperial envoys and couriers.

This is a good sign! I'm sorry for today. I had something to do last night. There are fewer words in this chapter! Please forgive me!)
