Ming Zuo

Chapter 821
"This is Cao thief?"

When Cao Wenzhao's head was sent to Li Zicheng, it aroused the curiosity of all the rebels.

It is really that the Northwest Rebels have been beaten too hard by Cao Wenzhao these years.

This court general who was invincible in their eyes actually died in their hands.

So much so that the battlefield is calm, and many people still feel unreal, as if they had a dream.

Li Zicheng looked at Cao Wenzhao's head, he saw a wide mouth, hard features, beard and hair like a lion.

Just by looking at his head, one can imagine what kind of a high-spirited man he would be when he was alive.

Liang Yue held his head in his hand and smiled endlessly.

"Thanks to the hard work of all the brothers, this evil is finally punished. When the news comes out, the imperial court must be shocked and dare not despise us."

He was absolutely right.

Cao Wenzhao, who was the most able to fight among the generals, was killed, and the other Ming army generals must be terrified, and they would no longer dare to be as arrogant as they used to be.

Li Zicheng was in high spirits after eliminating a major enemy of the rebel army.

"Put this thief's head on the top of the city to announce to the world, and we will take Hong Chengchou's head again in the future to thank our fathers and fellow villagers."

Three full days later, Li Zicheng's troops had already left, and Cao Bianjiao came back.

Although he already had a premonition that Cao Wenzhao would be more dangerous than good, but when he really saw Cao Wenzhao's head, Cao Bianjiao still cried and passed out.

It was agreed to be Cao Wenzhao's backing, but Hong Chengchou, who rushed to Chunhua alone without a single soldier in his hand, did not wait for the good news of Cao Wenzhao's victory, but received bad news instead.

"Heaven will not bless my Ming Dynasty, so that good generals will be in trouble. All the arrangements have been made, and all previous efforts have been wasted. What is the face of this constitution stored between heaven and earth?"

Hong Chengchou beat his chest and cried bitterly, the pain really hit his bones.

As the governor of the five provinces, although he has a lot of generals under his command, Cao Wenzhao is the only one who can really use it smoothly.

Cao Wenzhao is simple and upright, obeys orders, never cheats, cheats, and fights bravely, without fear of life and death. No commander doesn't like him.

Now that Cao Wenzhao is dead, the rest are treacherous people.

Hong Chengchou already had a premonition that the task of exterminating the bandits seemed to be getting more and more difficult.

The news of Cao Wenzhao's death in battle was like the wind with wings, spreading rapidly throughout the world.

In the Forbidden City, Chongzhen, who learned of this, sat for a long time, dazed.

The destruction of Fengyang Imperial Mausoleum was equivalent to trampling his face on the ground.In order to make amends, he issued an edict to wipe out the rogues within six months.

He believed that under the imperial prestige, civil and military officials would definitely be able to atone for their sins and complete their merits in one battle.

It's a pity that he thinks too much of the emperor's authority.

He is neither Zhu Yuanzhang nor Zhu Di.

He is just a greenhouse flower born in the deep palace and grown in the hands of a woman. He doesn't even know what it looks like outside the capital, but he wants to preside over the overall situation when the country is in turmoil.

This is completely beyond his ability.

Although he could order his subjects to be executed like killing chickens, it was absolutely impossible for him to make them loyal and devoted to their affairs without any selfish desires.

"Cao Wenzhao just died now, which shows that these rogues have not made any progress. The two sides are completely crouching dragons and phoenixes, and they are just comparing each other."

Regarding Cao Wenzhao's death, Zuo Menggeng was very indifferent.

When others talk about Cao Wenzhao, they are either afraid of his reputation or praise his bravery.

But in Zuo Menggeng's eyes, Cao Wenzhao didn't have the qualities that a qualified general should have at all.

This guy is just not afraid of death, he dares to fight and rush.The rest of the ability to govern the army, command the army, and fight is completely absent.

It was used to fight against a dozen low-quality peasant troops, and it was still fruitful.But once he encountered a stricter army, he was not enough to watch.

He was beaten all over the ground by the Eight Banners Army in Datong before, but this time he died at the hands of Li Zicheng, who was relatively stronger among the rebels.

Moreover, this person is cruel and tyrannical, and the harm he caused to ordinary people is even more heinous.

Even the Ministry of War of the Ming Dynasty had criticisms of Cao Wenzhao.

[It is better to be robbed by thieves than to be stopped by Cao Bing; the thieves rob limited, but Cao Bing does endless damage; 】

Of course Zuo Menggeng despised such an executioner who regarded innocent people as lambs.

After he understands the situation in the Central Plains battlefield, he will forget it.

For a while, the Ming Dynasty and the Northwest Rebels couldn't tell the difference, and it wasn't the time for Shandong to mix.

On the other side of Jeju Island, various preparations have been carried out one after another.

All kinds of materials have been transported continuously, and they have already piled up like mountains on Jeju Island.

Among them, [-] rounds of heavy artillery shells, [-] rounds of infantry artillery shells, and [-] rocket shells, and the rest of muskets and gunpowder are enough for the new army to fight for half a year.

The General Staff has formulated a huge battle plan, which is still kept secret for the time being, and only a few high-level people know about it.

I believe that Huang Taiji will be given a big surprise at that time.

The personnel of the intelligence department have already penetrated into all parts of North Korea, mobilized quietly, and became nails one by one.They will play an important role when war breaks out in the future.

In the Commander's Mansion, the day was full of joy.

Before she knew it, Miss Zuo Xuanyan was one year old.

The congratulatory gifts from various places filled several rooms, and those close to him rushed over to congratulate.

"You said you didn't know what to do, how could you give such a precious gift to a child?"

Seeing Zuo Xiang playing with Zuo Xuanyan in his arms, Zuo Menggeng couldn't help nagging.

It's nothing to be an uncle who loves his niece, but it's a bit too much to give a Buddha statue made of seven catties of gold.

Zuo Xianghun didn't care.

"This is the incense of our Zuo family. With the blessing of the Buddha in the future, we will be safe and sound, free from illness and disaster."

Zuo Menggeng shook his head helplessly, there was no way to say too much on such a festive day, so as not to spoil the fun.

Zuo Xianmei ran over and snatched the child from Zuo Xiang's hand.

"Hurry up, it's time to catch the week."

Everyone in the room was moved by the wind and ran over one after another.

On the princess bed, Zuo Xuanyan was placed in the middle.She is surrounded by all kinds of beautiful objects.

Everyone in the room watched her fixedly, to see what she would grab in her hands.

As Zuo Menggeng's daughter, a small Zhou Zhou ceremony entrusted many people's thoughts.

"If Ruolin is educated and reasonable, this child will definitely follow his mother, and he will be a virtuous wife in the future."

Huang's idea is simple.

"That's not true. Ruolin has never touched the sun since she was a child, and she is very spoiled. She is only smart and kind-hearted. Looking at it, she will definitely grab that cross."

The Xu family are all believers, and the Gu family also hopes that their granddaughter will be like this.

However, Zuo Xuanyan looked at the bed full of things, but remained indifferent.

She blinked her eyes, she really didn't understand why these adults were looking at her?

This made her a little uncomfortable and wanted to run away.

After searching her eyes, she happened to see her father who loved her the most.

"Dad...Dad..."

One-year-old Zuo Xuanyan yelled the only words she knew, and crawled over twisting her little butt.

Her speed was so fast that before Zuo Menggeng could react, she grabbed the sword handle at his waist.

Seeing this scene, everyone was surprised and their thoughts changed.
