Chapter 351 Return to Lantian

The crowd was excited, and the scene looked like, if Li Chaosheng, the magistrate of Lantian County, was not killed, it was really not enough for the people to be angry.

And the officials present were all sincere, why didn't I let Lao Tzu take a bite of a piece of fat as big as Lantian.

Why can't our officials get involved in the officialdom in Lantian, and why can the magistrate of Lantian not confess to our officials.

Lantian produces goods, why can’t the caravans we support buy in Lantian at low prices and sell them at high prices elsewhere?
If you, Lantian, don’t let us deepen our influence, and if you don’t let us get rich from your Lantian, it’s a crime, it’s treason, we’re going to impeach you, we’re going to kill you, and we’ll be replaced by an obedient magistrate, so that we won’t be delayed Get rich.

This is the thinking of all the princes in the court, including Yang Sichang.

If Emperor Chongzhen hadn't seen Li Chaosheng's memorial before going to court, he might have slapped his head on the table and shouted: "This is a thief, draw up an order for me to kill this Liao."

After that, there is no more. It is estimated that Lantian County will be a little laborious at the beginning, and the people of Lantian will suffer some crimes, but as long as Li Chaosheng reacts, then the Ming Dynasty will definitely not be able to support it. Li Zicheng can bring a group of farmers. To smash Daming to pieces, not to mention Li Chaosheng's all-arms troops, presumably it was not Li Zicheng who forced Chongzhen to hang himself at that time, but Li Chaosheng.

I don't know if Chongzhen would think of the thoughtless decision he made in the court today when he hanged himself on the southeast branch.

Declaring war on Lantian, what do you think, but sometimes this is beyond the control of Chongzhen.

But Chongzhen was saved by the memorial this morning, and Chongzhen looked at the excited group of officials below and shouted: "Enough!"

The officials looked at Chongzhen in a daze. Yang Sichang keenly realized that something was wrong with the current emperor, so he immediately shut up, but there were still unsightly people who were still talking about Li Chaosheng's crimes. Just like the ancestral graves of the people, not killing is not enough for the people to be angry.

Chongzhen watched these people perform coldly, and gradually some people realized that something was wrong, and then one by one began to die down, without making a sound, Chongzhen looked at the officials below and said: "Why don't you quarrel, why don't you argue? , why don’t you clamor to kill the rebellious Li Chaosheng, aren’t you very loyal and brave? If you are so loyal and brave, why don’t you go to put down the rebellion!”

Chongzhen's voice was as cold as snow in December, and everyone was silent. This emperor is good at killing people, everyone knows it.

Yang Sichang glanced at Chongzhen, he seemed to realize something in his heart, and said nothing, but at this time Chongzhen said: "Everyone who claims to be loyal and brave, why don't you see that you are fighting desperately with the Tartars? Killing my colleagues, do I know if Li Chaosheng is a traitor?"

"Now you don't attack Zhang Xianzhong who is digging my ancestor's grave, you don't attack Li Zicheng who is causing trouble in Shanxi, and you don't attack Gao Yingxiang who is entrenched in northern Shaanxi. Now you are all attacking the magistrate of Lantian County. Is he Li Chaosheng here? Things, he also knows to pay taxes to me on time and on time, how about you, how about you~"

Chongzhen was furious, and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty did not dare to speak to each other. Looking at the people around him, Yang Sichang grasped Chongzhen's thoughts keenly, and immediately shouted: "Your Majesty, I am confused, please forgive me."

Chongzhen glanced at Yang Sichang and said, "What's wrong with Yang Qing?"

Yang Sichang shouted at this time: "Your Majesty, I misjudged the situation for a while. The current situation should put down the rebels first. Lantian is a place with a heavy tax burden on the country. How can we not move lightly? However, if you think about paying taxes for the court conscientiously, you should understand that the minister thinks that the most urgent task is to suppress the rebellion, and everything should be the suppression of the rebels."

After hearing this, Chongzhen nodded and said: "Well, Yang Qing's words are reasonable, and the purpose is: Lu Xiangsheng has meritorious deeds in killing thieves, and the deeds belong to Sheji. He will be added the title of prince and junior division, continue to serve as the governor of Xuanfu Datong, and order him to send troops into Shaanxi immediately. , together with Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting, formed a siege and wiped out the leader of the bandits, Gao Yingxiang."

"The minister obeys the order."

After hearing this, someone responded immediately, and went to write the edict. After hearing what Emperor Chongzhen said, Yang Sichang's eyes gradually became darker, and some old foxes in the court also heard what Chongzhen meant.

Lu Xiang's promotion to the title of Prince's Young Master seems to be a big reward. After all, Prince's Young Master is a senior member of the second rank, and he is higher than many people in the court. It is very big, but it has no rights, it just sounds good, and Lu Xiangsheng has made such great achievements, according to the correct operation, at least the rights should be expanded. He used to be the left servant of the Ministry of War, but now he is promoted to be a minister of the Ministry of War. It is no exaggeration.

But now there is no one, just a young prince sent him away. What do you mean, the emperor still minds that Lu Xiangsheng and Li Chaosheng get mixed up, but now the combination of various reasons prevents the court from taking any punishment measures against Lu Xiangsheng, so It was only given to the vain prince Shaoshi.

As for Li Chaosheng, Chongzhen Yagen didn’t mention it. If there is no such person, this is helpless. Now the courtiers can understand the situation. Chongzhen can use Lu Xiangsheng and Li Chaosheng now. When they are not needed in the future, they will have Here's the chance.

Thinking that all the ministers knew what was going on here, they all cupped their hands together: "Your Majesty is wise."

Chongzhen looked at the princes of the court and waved his hands. At this time, Wang Chengen said: "Retire from the court..."

Drinking poison to quench thirst, Emperor Chongzhen didn't know that he was drinking poison to quench thirst, but there is no way, now that Lantian County is moved, the imperial court will immediately collapse, and after a while, the imperial court can last for a while, and the situation may improve during this time Woolen cloth?
Chongzhen looked at the sky, how could there be so many villains with evil intentions in the world, is it because I didn't do well enough?

Guihua City.

Li Chaosheng led Master Shi Dalei to stand at the gate of the city, followed Li Chaohu who was seeing him off, and the officials of Guihua City said: "Okay, everyone, the work of Guihua City will be entrusted to you, I hope you will guard Lantian with all your heart city."

After hearing this, Li Chaohu saluted and said: "Don't worry, Commander, we will definitely defend Guihua City to the death and never let anyone get involved in Guihua City."

Li Chaosheng nodded and said, "Okay, cousin, it's hard work."

Li Chaohu nodded and said nothing, Li Chaosheng looked at Wang Jiayao again and said, "Jiayao, the people's livelihood work in Guihua City is also very important. I will leave the 18 people to you."

"Don't worry, the county lord, dare not try your best."

Wang Jiayao assured, Li Chaosheng looked at the militia captain again, and Zhang Tengfei, who is now called the police captain, said: "I will leave the security of Guihua City to you. Your burden is not small, although the Tartars dare not openly Guihua City is an idea, but the forces of all parties will definitely not give up on infiltrating Guihua City, especially Guihua City will soon become the commercial center of this area, and the situation will become more complicated by then, so you have to be careful."

"Guaranteed to complete the mission."

Zhang Tengfei saluted, Li Chaosheng smiled and said, "I like you."

"Okay, everyone, Guihua City, please."

Li Chaosheng bowed his hands to the crowd, and at this time they all said in unison: "Send off the county lord (military commander) to the county lord for a smooth journey."

Hearing this, Li Chaosheng rode on his own fire dragon horse, and followed him to Lantian under the protection of the army, and returned home.

Dorgon led his troops to leave five days ago, and there is no way if he doesn't leave. There is no more rations. Originally, Li Chaohu and others wanted to pursue him, but Li Chaosheng gave up. The goal of the war has been achieved, and Guihua City has been occupied. There is no need to let more people lose their lives on the grassland. Li Chaosheng wants to bring more people home.

Any human life in Li Chaosheng's place is precious. Perhaps the probability of changing lives between Lantian soldiers and Tartars is one to five. With the development of technology in the future, Li Chaosheng is confident that it will be one to ten, or even more.

So it's not worth changing your life with the Tartars now.

Li Chaosheng left Guihua City and returned to Lantian County. Next, he will seriously study the situation in the world. Now that he has been forced to stand in front of the imperial court, he will face countless conspiracies and schemes next. However, Li Chaosheng I don't care, because no matter how many conspiracies and tricks are in front of absolute strength, it is scum.

When the army returned home, everyone was in a very good mood. The children who left home were always homesick.

The army soon arrived at Zhangjiakou. When he arrived here, Li Chaosheng saw the ruined city that had been burned to the ground, and the tenant farmers looking for useful things on the ruins. The tenant farmers were very scared when they saw the army, but when they learned that it was the Lantian Army After that, he was not so afraid anymore. Li Chaosheng asked a tenant farmer to inquire about the situation. The tenant said: "The last time the Tartars entered Zhangjiakou, they killed many tenants and burned many tenants' homes. Many tenants hid in In the mountains, there are still some big households connected with the government, saying that the land allocated to these tenant farmers was obtained from thieves, and it is not clean, so a lot of land was snatched by the big households and the government.”

After hearing this, Li Chaosheng looked at Guzi and said, "Take 200 people to meet the local magistrate, and they say that they dare to be greedy for ink on the land I shared with the tenant farmers. to sharecroppers."

"Yes."

Guzi left soon. Seeing such a terrifying army, the magistrate immediately gave in when he learned that it was the Lantian Army of Guihua City, and then asked someone to withdraw the land lease. Soon the tenant farmers had land again, and at the same time, they were grateful to Li Chaosheng. , I am also grateful to the Lantian Army.

Li Chaosheng didn't stay here any longer, he divided the land again and left. On the way, Gu Zi looked at Li Chaosheng and said, "Master, do you think these tenant farmers can keep their land?"

Li Chaosheng laughed after hearing this, "What do you think?"

Gu Zi said, "Impossible."

Li Chaosheng said: "I don't think it is possible."

"Then you still give them the land?"

Li Chaosheng said with a smile: "I'm telling them a truth. When the Lantian army comes, they have their own land, and the army will protect them. But when the Lantian army leaves, they will have no land, so they will rule here without us." I miss us so much during this time, when the time comes when we have the intention to rule here, they will welcome us, we can not only reap the land, but also reap the hearts of the people."

After hearing this, Gu Zi said: "This is too troublesome. Our Lantian army can take down Zhangjiakou now and take command here."

Hearing this, Li Chaosheng laughed and said, "Haha... Gu Zi, remember one sentence, don't be superstitious about the army. The army can conquer a place, but it is difficult to rule a place. To rule a place, you need the hearts of the people!"

……

"Welcome the county lord home!"

The news that Li Chaosheng's army was going back to Lantian spread quickly. As soon as Li Chaosheng passed Tongguan, he met Li Chaolong, Guo Bao, Zuo Sansi and others who were staying in Lantian and led a group of people to hold a grand ceremony outside Tongguan. .

Li Chaosheng looked at these people he hadn't seen for a long time and said with a smile: "I don't want to work in Lantian, what are you waiting for me here, and they all have good horses."

After hearing this, Guo Bao said: "Master, you have wronged me. I came here to measure the land outside Tongguan. Our Lantian county boundary has moved to this place yesterday. As the administrator of the county government, I have to measure it." Every inch of land in Lantian is good."

Li Chaosheng looked at Guo Bao before he opened his mouth. At this time, Li Chaolong and Li Dezhen said: "Commander, this Tongguan is the gateway to Guanzhong. We must occupy this place in Lantian, so Dezhen and I will take a look around and study it. Where will the Tongguan camp be located in the future, my reason is reasonable."

Li Chaosheng didn't say anything when he heard the words, at this moment Zuo Sansi said: "I am the first secretary of the county lord, and I need to inform the county lord about the situation in Lantian as soon as possible, so it is reasonable for me to be here now."

Zuo Sansi laughed, at this time Li Chaosheng looked back and there were many students from Lantian Academy, the leader was Xu Xiake, who loves to travel, led a team to welcome him, Li Chaosheng looked at Xu Xiake, Xu Xiake smiled and said: "The magistrate don't want to see me, I brought my students here to collect folk songs, just in time for the county lord to come back, do you agree?"

The students said in unison: "That's right."

Li Chaosheng looked at each of them who didn't want to admit it, and couldn't help laughing: "Okay, thank you for your welcome, I accept it, but I'm very hungry now, so I want to eat our Lantian's oily noodles, pork stew Vermicelli, and the carp in our big reservoir, I wonder if you can be satisfied?"

After hearing this, a group of people laughed and said: "Everything is ready, the county lord is in the front camp."

After hearing this, Li Chaosheng looked at the crowd and asked, "What about the other soldiers?"

After hearing this, Li Chaolong said: "All of them, all of them, enough noodles, one fish for two people, one pot of meat for three people."

"Oh!"

After hearing this, everyone shouted happily together, they missed this mouth after being away from home for so long, and they couldn't wait to think of this place.

Soon the army arrived at the nearby barracks. At this time, a large pot was set up in the barracks. The stew in the pot was the famous Lantian dish stewed with pork and vermicelli. This used to be a famous dish in the Northeast. He, Lantian is rich in vermicelli.

"Come and eat, congratulations on the victory of the county flag, everyone cheers."

Guo Bao raised his glass and said to the crowd, but Li Chaosheng said at this moment: "Damn it, wait until I eat meat and drink, I don't have eyesight."

"Haha~"

Everyone laughed when they heard the words, and the atmosphere was extremely harmonious. This is the feeling of going home.
