Chapter 469 The strategy of encirclement and suppression
Chen Qiyu is in a panic now, the "Chexiang Gorge" recruiting has just finished.Never thought that the "Chuang Wang", "Chuang Jiang", "Eight Great Kings", "Zhang Miaoshou", "Scorpion Block", "Mantian Xing" and other rebels killed the recruiters one after another as soon as they came out of the plank road, and once again wreaked havoc in Shaanxi.

He was originally the governor of Yansui, and he served for more than a year. He was favored by the court only because he wiped out a large number of rebels—only the leaders of the rebels who were beheaded, and there were as many as forty-six of them with names.

Therefore, he was appointed as the right servant of the Ministry of War and the right deputy capital censor and governor of the five provinces of Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan, Huguang, and Sichuan.

But at the beginning when he surrounded the rebel army in the carriage gorge, he did not expect that the rebel army would not be able to wipe out the rebel army.He accepted bribes from the rebel army, and deliberately reported the matter to Emperor Chongzhen, throwing the scapegoat out in advance.

Sure enough, the rebels surrendered and the sentence was re-sentenced, and the whole world was terrified.

At this time, Chen Qiyu's panic can be imagined, and he had no other wish but to cover up the crime and avoid death.

Therefore, he hurriedly and deliberately impeached Shaanxi governor Lian Guoshi and other officials, claiming that they had "killed and subdued the radical change" and deliberately sabotaged the recruitment.

Zhang Fengyi, Minister of the Ministry of War, was Chen Qiyu's in-law, so he also took the opportunity to speak for him.Because Chongzhen personally approved the surrender, he blamed the governor of Shaanxi for practicing state affairs and ordered him to be arrested.

However, the true cannot be false, and the false cannot be true.Because of this matter, Shaanxi officials Li Xuan, Li Yuzhi, Ma Mingshi and others successively played the impeachment of Chen Qiyu by Emperor Chongzhen, and said in the book that he Chen Qiyu: "The mistake of recruiting will harm the border and kill the living people."

At the same time, the peasant army conquered Lingtai, Chongxin, Baishui, Jingzhou, Fufeng and other places successively, and the situation in Shaanxi was in danger of collapse at any time.

Faced with the double pressure from the government and the rebels, Chen Qiyu had to strictly order the officials and troops from Henan, Huguang, Sichuan, and Shanxi provinces to enter Shaanxi to suppress the rebels.

The officers and soldiers were so powerful that "Chuang Wang" and others had no choice but to avoid their edge and divide their troops into three groups: one to Qingyang, the other to Yunyang, and the other to Henan, fighting together with the officers and soldiers.

Chen Qiyu was already frightened, fearing that the situation in Shaanxi would become corrupt and uncontrollable, so that he would fall into Yuan Chonghuan's end.

But how did he expect to press the gourd to float the gourd? Before the rebel army in Shaanxi was resolved, another bandit in Henan actually captured Luoyang City.

Seeing the letter from Henan Governor Xuan Mo, who claimed that the bandit who captured Luoyang City was called "Shun King", Chen Qiyu couldn't help but get excited.

Who is "King Shun"?Chen Qiyu also heard a little bit about this thief who suddenly appeared out of nowhere before, and then suddenly disappeared, and said that this person died in some stinky ditch.

It never occurred to him that the thief would secretly lie dormant and give himself a hard time at a critical moment.

It is said that this man was the third leader of the rebel army, and successively beheaded Song Tongyin, Governor of Shanxi, and Deng Qi, General Soldier of Sichuan.Now is the critical moment to encircle and suppress the rebel army in Shaanxi, Chen Qiyu wished to divide the soldiers under his command into two, how could there be any extra troops to distribute to the governor of Henan, Xuan Mo, to help him take back Luoyang City?
In desperation, Chen Qiyu resorted to the great method of dumping the pot again, and handed it to the Ministry of War as soon as he held the paper.

One is to impeach Xuanmo, governor of Henan Province, who is not good at defending the country, fears bandits like a tiger, and even sits and watches Luoyang City fall.

The second claimed that now is the critical moment to exterminate the rogue bandits in Shaanxi, and asked the imperial court to send a large army to recover Luoyang City.

Shaanxi is two thousand miles away from the capital, and it took three days to deliver the booklet to Emperor Chongzhen in a hurry.

Although Emperor Chongzhen was young and impulsive, he was not a fool after all. After reading Chen Qiyu's excerpt, he couldn't help being furious and said, "What a Chen Qiyu, can't you think I'm a fool? You don't want to bully me when I'm young. The last person who committed the crime of deceiving the emperor has already been punished by thousands of people." Cut to pieces!"

Zhang Fengyi, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, saw that the situation was not good, and quickly advised him: "Now the imperial court uses troops in many places, and the whole body is moved by one hair. In the north, there is a place where the Houjin plundered the Xuanfu. Although the enemy has left, the remaining remnants are still watching in Guihua City. .”

"There is a rebellion in She'an in the southwest, and the remaining evils have not been eliminated. There are also rogue bandits in the central plains, and they can't catch up. Now they are besieged in Shaanxi, and they will be wiped out soon. Your Majesty must not act on your will, so that the ashes will revive! "

Chongzhen thought for a while, endured the anger, and asked, "What about the thieves who occupy Luoyang? Can't we just let it go?"

"I happen to have a copy!" Zhang Fengyi, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, immediately responded when he heard the words, "The former northern captives entered Datong, Xuanfu and Shanxi, and the defenders lost their chance, and the crime was judged by law. Now the Ministry of War has agreed: Governor Dai Junen, Hu Zhanen, Jiao Yuanqing Dismissal and redemption. Governor Zhang Zongheng is idle, Governor Yang Sichang and Governor of Datong Ye Tinggui are all engraved with the third rank, and they are all guilty. What do you think of your Majesty?"

"All the ministers are entrusted to fail, and let the enemy gallop, how can they be lightly forgiven? Where is the law of the country, and where is the majesty of the court?" Chongzhen became angry when he heard this.

Zhang Fengyi also felt that this matter was not easy to pass, and quickly stated his position: "This is all agreed by the Ministry of War. In the opinion of my ministers, it is reasonable for the governor, governor, and the three towns' commanders, Mu Ziqiang, Cao Wenzhao, and Zhang Quanchang to be sent to the garrison to monitor the middle officials Liu Yunzhong, Liu Wenzhong and Wang Kun are also in the clean army."

"It's just that now is the time for employing people. The governor, governor and middle officials are all unforgivable crimes. Only the three towns' chief soldiers Mu Ziqiang, Cao Wenzhao, and Zhang Quanchang are quite talented. If they are sent to the garrison, they will waste their talents for no reason. .”

"It's better to order them to commit crimes and make meritorious deeds. With Zhang Zongheng as the commander, lead an elite team to the Henan Mansion and attack Luoyang City by surprise. The 'Shun Bandit' has just occupied Luoyang City not long ago. If there is no defense, Zhenghe can go down with a drum."

Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help sneering when he heard the words, and said: "Zhang Zongheng? The 'Shun Bandit' is just a defeated general. How can He De take Luoyang City? Arranged to go to Shanxi to suppress the bandits, I did not agree to him."

"Since this is the case, I will order Cao Wenzhao to supervise the generals of the other two towns, set off immediately, and go to Henan Prefecture to suppress the bandits. Make sure to take down Luoyang City and wipe out the 'Shun Bandits'."

At this time, the Ming court finally figured out that "King Shun" was "Optimus Prime", the third general in charge of the Rebel Army.It's just that the court didn't want the name "Shun King" to be used by Zhang Shun, so it deliberately changed the name to "Shun King" and "Shun Thieves".

Fortunately, Zhang Shun enshrined King Fu as orthodox, and the "Appeal to Discussion" issued by him had not yet spread outside the Henan government, and Chongzhen and others did not know about it.

Zhang Fengyi, Minister of the Ministry of War, is also a man who knows how to fight, and knows the reason why soldiers are expensive and fast. If they just sit back and watch the "shun thieves" occupy Henan Mansion, then things will be difficult.Hearing the words, he quickly responded.

Chongzhen also ordered the cabinet to draft an imperial decree as soon as possible, urging Cao Wenzhao, Mu Ziqiang and Zhang Quanchang, the commanders-in-chief of the three towns, to lead the elite as soon as possible and set off.
