Ming Zuo

Chapter 186 Chaos
Going back to the city and resting, Zuo Liangyu still has something to say.

"A few days ago, Xuan Hugong sent someone to declare the friendship between the whole family. I plan to settle the matter between you and that Miss Xu as soon as possible."

Hearing that Xu Guangqi really sent someone to vent his anger, Zuo Menggeng finally let go of his worries, but he also had some scruples.

"The child is still young, the marriage..."

Zuo Liangyu immediately shouted: "Little fart, I am the sixteen-year-old you. Besides, Miss Xu is eighteen, can she afford to wait?"

Zuo Menggeng slandered.

What happened to eighteen?
Later generations are still high school students.

But after all, I know that this era is different. When a woman is old and unmarried, she will be judged by others.

Even though the Xu family are all Christians, they live in China after all, so they have to do as the Romans do.

Another one, Zuo Menggeng couldn't help but feel a warm feeling in his heart when he thought of Xu Ruolin's gorgeous face.

It's human nature to be lustful and Mu Shaoai.

"But it's up to the father to decide."

This satisfied Zuo Liangyu, who was nagging, and had already started planning for the lottery.

Zuo Menggeng thought of something, called Zuo Rong and Zuo Hua in, and said to Zuo Liangyu: "Zuo Rong, the eight of them, are now in the army and have become officers under Haier's command. So Haier made the decision and exempted them from slavery. Please punish me without asking my father."

Originally, in Zuo Menggeng's view, it would be very difficult, but Zuo Liangyu didn't care.

"You are in charge now, and you can handle this kind of thing by yourself. This time they have made great achievements, and they also have a share. What will it be like to be a servant?"

Seeing that Zuo Liangyu agreed, Zuo Rong and Zuo Hua were overjoyed, and instead of the absent six, they immediately saluted and thanked them.

In the evening, Zhang Chun came back from Qingshuiguan in a hurry.

"General Zheng, it's true, it's all true!"

Hou Xun couldn't laugh or cry, and finally held him back.

"My lord military constitution, speak slowly."

Zhang Chun wailed, rushed to Zuo Menggeng, and even made a deep bow.

"Mr. Zuo Qian, thank you for fighting the enemy bravely and raising my Ming's prestige. Let that Donglu know that my Ming is not without men."

As soon as this action came out, everyone immediately understood that Zuo Menggeng's military exploits were real.

Hou Xun's last trace of worry dissipated, and he suggested: "Zhang Bingxian, since that's the case, it's better for you and me to report the victory to His Majesty and Shufu."

Zhang Chun didn't obey his orders.

The two wrote a victory report together, one was sent to the capital, and the other was sent to Yongping.

After destroying the five thousand troops of Jin, killing generals such as Amin and Turg, this was an unprecedented event for Ming Dynasty.

Early the next morning, Sun Chengzong hurried over from Yongping.

But the old man's state is very strange, his face is like being hit by yin and yang.Half rosy, half livid, don't know how to cultivate?
But when Sun Chengzong reported the situation, the faces of all the people present changed drastically.

"Shandong governor Shen Xun rushed to report at [-] miles away. The White Lotus Sect has rebelled. The land of the six prefectures has been devastated. Beg me to let the Shandong soldiers and horses return quickly to help."

Shandong didn't have many soldiers and horses in the first place. After the gold invaded last year, the governor Wang Congyi took the soldiers and horses to King Qin, and ended up trapping himself.

After Wang Congyi was dismissed from office, Shen Xun had just taken over as governor of Shandong.Since he took office, within two months, the White Lotus Rebellion has swept across the entire land of Qilu.

Zuo Menggeng was by the side, and when he heard this, his heart moved, knowing that Xu Yaqing had finally activated it.

She was really waiting for her to leave Shandong.

Hou Xun's thoughts changed, and he immediately said to Zuo Menggeng: "When the next discussion is over, you will immediately lead the army back. It is necessary for you to contribute to the chaos."

Zuo Menggeng was still an officer of the rear battalion of the Linqing Association, and there was trouble in Shandong. As the local leader, he was duty-bound.

Hou Xun had another thought.

That is, there are too many tricks in the back camp. Although it is hidden for the time being, it will be exposed after a long time.

Originally, I wanted to find a reason to let Houying return.Now that this incident has happened, everything is in order.

Sun Chengzong also supported Hou Xun's approach, but he still asked carefully about the battle of Qingshuiguan.

Zuo Menggeng spoke well according to the content agreed by everyone, Mao Yuanyi was on the sidelines to cover up, and Zhang Chun personally checked and testified, and the old and spicy Sun Chengzong didn't find any problems.

Looking at the heads of Amin, Turge and others, Sun Chengzong felt deeply.

"The old man personally supervised Liaodong in the past. He fought several bloody battles and managed painstakingly. As soon as the good situation was in sight, he was destroyed by the eunuchs, so that the situation deteriorated. I thought it would be difficult in the future, and Liaodong would be difficult to recover. Unexpectedly, there will be successors, and it will become like this Great work. In this way, the old man will die without regret.”

Zuo Menggeng hurriedly said humbly: "The department is no more than a thousand, and the power of ants. Under the conquest of a large army, it is like a flat boat. If there is no elder, the general political, the prime minister, the military constitution and all the seniors in the army to fight hard together, how can we be defeated?" How can the junior get lucky?"

Seeing him push the credit to everyone, everyone was very happy and praised him one after another.

Seeing that this young man is not arrogant in victory, not discouraged in defeat, and keeps vigilant all the time, Sun Chengzong likes it more and more.

"It's a pity that Shandong is in chaos. Otherwise, the old man really wants to take you to Liaodong. With a talent like you, Liaodong has a lot to do."

Zuo Menggeng just thanked him modestly, hehe in his heart.

The big pit in Liaodong is also a place to go?

So what if you start to revive Liaodong again?

It's not like he was dismissed from office for a while, and he was not favored by Chongzhen until his death.

After the inquiry, Sun Chengzong and Hou Xun made a decision.He and Hou Xun immediately brought the heads of Amin and others to Beijing to submit.

Zuo Menggeng also don't delay, set off immediately and return to Shandong to calm the chaos.

In addition to Zuo Menggeng, Song Wei, the new Shandong general who is also still in Gyeonggi, is also leaving.

Poor Shen Xun, now he has no soldiers at hand.I don't know how to cry when I sit in a sleepy city.

Finally able to go home, Zuo Menggeng was very happy, fearing that something would change, he went back to bid farewell to Zuo Liangyu, and picked up Huang Zongxi.

Returning to the headquarters that day, the whole camp immediately went south.

Forbidden City.

The withdrawal of Houjin did not make Chongzhen feel even a little better.

Because bad things are like ocean waves, destroying him wave after wave.

"What do the local government and the various armies in Shanxi do? They even let the rebels from northern Shaanxi cross the Yellow River. Now that Shaanxi and Shanxi are corrupting together, do they want to see the rebels come to the capital to make them happy?"

Cao Huachun, who was accompanying Chongzhen, did not dare to raise his head, let alone persuade him.

Ask yourself, if he were in Chongzhen's position, he would probably vomit blood.

Here, after gold invaded the bandits, the capital was shocked three times a day.As for King Qin of the whole country, the rebels in northern Shaanxi found an opportunity to break through the natural danger of the Yellow River and enter Shanxi.

Now the area in the northwest of Shanxi has been turned into a pot of porridge, many counties have been breached, and Shanxi is completely out of control.

why?

Because the soldiers and horses of Shanxi were brought into King Qin by Geng Ruqi and Zhang Honggong, the local area of ​​Shanxi was empty.

It stands to reason that after the Battle of Liangxiang, Shanxi soldiers and horses can return to their divisions, right?
It's a pity that Shanxi soldiers and horses were completely disabled in this battle, and there were less than [-] soldiers left. Even the governor Geng Ruqi had to resign due to serious injuries.

There was nothing to do, finally arrived in May, seeing that Hou Jin was about to retire, Chongzhen was able to dispatch all kinds of soldiers and horses into Shanxi to deal with the thieves.

But just after the dispatch here was completed, another bad news came from Shandong.

The White Lotus Sect rebelled, there were more than [-] members, and the six prefectures in Shandong were all engulfed in flames of war.

Shen Xun, governor of Shandong, Zhang Keda, deputy general of Denglai, Zhang Jimeng, the military commander of Linqing, and the princes of Yanzhou and Qingzhou, were almost sent to Chongzhen together.

When Chongzhen saw it, he almost had cerebral palsy on the spot.

Now, where can he have soldiers to adjust?

Gyeonggi was reduced to ruins, and all the passes in Jizhen had to be repaired.The most important thing is the situation in Liaodong. With the fall of Yuan Chonghuan, it also needs to be readjusted.

In these two places, most of the troops were exhausted.

Some of them were finally left, and they were all sent to Shanxi.

Chongzhen looked around in a daze, and suddenly found that he had become a polished commander, and could only watch the rioters wreak havoc everywhere.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty... great victory!"

A young eunuch rushed in excitedly, holding up a memorial, and was smashed head-on by Chongzhen with a paperweight.

"Bastard, what are you talking about?"

The little eunuch's face was covered in blood, and he was extremely wronged, but he still tried his best to persevere.

"Your Majesty, is it a victory or a great victory."

He was afraid that Chongzhen would be impatient, so he said everything in his head.

"A few days ago, the Rear Battalion of the Linqing Association set up an ambush at Qingshui Pass, wiped out more than [-] Eastern captives, and beheaded the generals of the Eastern captives, Amin, Turge, Chakala, Namutai, Bao Chengxian, Gao Hongzhong, and so on. Tang Gudai led the remaining cavalry and fled away."

Chongzhen froze.

He didn't go to answer the report, but stared at the little eunuch.

"Dog slave, who asked you to lie about the military situation?"
