Be the emperor from the postman

Chapter 835 Bad Money Drives Out Good Money (Two in One)

"Report, great victory, Your Majesty, great victory!"

In the gloomy imperial city, bursts of joyful voices suddenly sounded.

The word "great victory" has been shouted by soldiers all the way since they entered Beijing, and their voices are already a little hoarse.

Almost the entire capital began to talk about it, Jing Liao Bo Wu Guojun won a big victory against the Houjin Tartars for the second time, and avenged us, young and old, in the capital.

Uncle Jing Liao, who specializes in killing the Queen's Golden Dog Tartars!
The news spread by the people of the capital quickly became outrageous, saying that more than ten thousand people were killed.

Last time Wu Guojun beheaded Mang Gurtai, whose head was it this time?
Chongzhen's tired body got up from the imperial case, he was stunned for a moment, and then his face showed surprise: "Great victory?"

"Back to Your Majesty, it sounds like a great victory."

"Where is the great victory?"

Chongzhen stood up abruptly, feeling dizzy, Cao Huachun hurriedly supported him.

"Is it Chen Qiyu from Henan, or Hong Chengchou from Shaanxi, or Zhang Zongheng?"

Cao Huachun didn't know, and repeatedly comforted His Majesty to rest.

"Your Majesty, the Hou Jin Tartars traveled westward and won consecutive battles. Uncle Jing Liao led his army to support them, and the slave chieftain Huang Taiji and others were defeated.

Zhu Renming, who was good at archery under Bo Jingliao, shot and killed Shumulu Yangguli, the super-ranked prince of the slave chieftain, with a Lumi blunderbuss, and beheaded more than a thousand Tartars. "

Hearing the words of the soldiers who reported the victory, Chongzhen took the letter of the victory that Cao Huachun handed over, unfolded it and browsed it three times, and then burst out laughing.

"Uncle Jing Liao is really my general!"

Gurtai, who killed Mang in the last battle, and the Mongols who led the slave chief Huang Taiji to Beijing, moved back for the soldiers of Jizhen.

This time, under Jiang Xiang, You Shilu and others' losing streak, it was Jing Liao Bo who tried his best to turn the tide and sent troops to support him. He shot and killed Yang Guli, a veteran who followed the previous slave chieftain.

"Who is this Zhu Renming?"

"Return to Your Majesty." Cao Huachun said respectfully, "It should be the youngest son of Duke Cheng."

"Oh?"

Chongzhen raised his eyebrows slightly, but he didn't expect that Xungui would finally have a successor.

He also knew that since the battle of Tumubao, Daming Xungui had probably had his spine broken and had no real background. Most of his family's children worked in the capital and other places, and they rarely fought outside.

That is, when Li Chengliang was in Liaodong, those honorable children saw that there was a victory to fight, so they followed to the front line one after another.

But after all, no good generals appeared!
With repeated defeats in the Liaodong War, the nobles rarely sent their children to Liaodong to fight.

Cheng Guogong Zhu Chunchen was quite valued by Chongzhen in the noble circle.

Never thought that he would send his son to go out to serve the country without telling me in advance.

He is really my loyal minister of Ming Dynasty!

"Zhu Renming?" Chongzhen walked a few steps in the palace: "I vaguely remember this person."

After all, there is not much difference in age between them. The children of Xungui like to play around more or less, and their reputation is not very good.

"Before your Majesty ascended to the throne, this man liked to shoot birds in the capital with a blunderbuss. The sound of the bludgeon was scary, and he laughed loudly. It is said that his shots were very accurate."

A smile also appeared on Chongzhen's face, thinking that the prodigal son of the past had also begun to play to his strengths and serve the country.

"Not bad." Chongzhen nodded again and again: "Jing Liao Bo is really a strong general with no weak soldiers!"

Cao Huachun and others congratulated His Majesty again and again. Daming has finally produced a good general. With him guarding Ji Town, the frontier will be guaranteed to be stable.

"Reward Uncle Jing Liao a set of boa robes first, and I hope he will continue to work hard. After the class teacher returns to the court, I will reward others generously."

"Yes."

Chongzhen's face was extremely excited. If he was allocating more money and food to Uncle Jing Liao, would he worry about not being able to wipe out Liaodong in the future?
Wang Chengen handed over another memorial, which was sent by Wang Kun, a middle official in Xuanfu who was dispatched abroad.

Cao Huachun didn't even look at it, and put it directly in front of the emperor's case. Although the emperor had embarked on the old way of reusing eunuchs, he was still extremely guarded against them.

They can be allowed to be extravagant, anyway, what fun can eunuchs have?
Most of the time, let them be the eyes and ears, and I am very disgusted with their handling of government affairs.

He had to come and see these notebooks in person!
He almost controlled the work of the supervisor of ceremonies to approve reds.

Chongzhen was excited for a while, and felt that his spirit was uplifted, so he sat back again, opened the memorial and looked at it for a while, and immediately frowned.

Governor of the Xuan Mansion, Shen Chi, and Zhongguan Wang Kun sent envoys to discuss peace with the late Jin Tartar Emperor Taiji, and also donated gold, silk and prison wine!
Zhongguan Wang Kun also bit Zhang Zongheng, saying that he refused to discuss the peace talks.

idiot.

Chongzhen felt great hatred in his heart!

Look at how Bo Jingliao dared to fight and kill the Golden Tartars, but you, a governor, sent people to negotiate peace with the slave chieftains, and even gave gifts?

Isn't this a slap in the face?

Chongzhen, who had just been excited by the news of Bo Jingliao's victory, was surprisingly angry.

What's more, he wrote letters to the Han and Mongols under Huang Taiji's command to instigate rebellion, and Shen Chi rushed to deliver gifts to negotiate peace.

After those Han people and Mongols know about it, don’t they think that what I said is bullshit?
"Go and call Xiong Mingyu to me."

"Yes."

Cao Huachun's heart skipped a beat, the emperor's slight expression could not fool him.

To be a eunuch, the most important skill is to observe words and emotions, not to mention that he has been a eunuch for so many years.

What happened, His Majesty started calling him by his first name?

Minister of the Ministry of War, Xiong Mingyu, was in a daze when he was called. He heard that the emperor was extremely dissatisfied with what the governor of Xuanfu, Shen Chi, had done.

Xiong Mingyu had a good relationship with Shen Chi, so he defended him, saying that it was for Ming's good that he bowed down and negotiated peace with the Houjin Tartars.

As a result, the more he listened to his excuses, the angrier Chongzhen became, and he ordered Shen Chi to be arrested.

Xiong Mingyu was stunned on the spot, at a loss.

On the second day, Sun Sanjie tried his best to slander Mingyu and make a mistake in the country.

The same officials Chen Zanhua, Lu Huangzhong, and Yushi Zhao Jiding were impeached one after another.

When Xiong Ming met the book and begged, Chongzhen was angry that he disregarded reason and formed a party with others, so he directly dismissed him as Hou Kan.

The political career of the seventh Shangshu of the Ministry of War in the Chongzhen Dynasty was gg.

In fact, Chongzhen was mostly dissatisfied with Zhang Zongheng and Xu Dingchen, because they allowed the enemy to cross the Taihang Mountain, so the Henan authorities did not rely on the danger of the Taihang Mountain to intercept the bandits.

But the two of them carried out Chongzhen's will to vigorously suppress thieves, so they beat Henan governor Fan Shangxie, who didn't carry out the emperor's will very much, but thought of beggar-thy-neighbor.

Now the performance of Zhang Zongheng and Xu Dingchen who led the army to defend against the Empress Golden Tartars, let Chongzhen remember in his heart, but compared to Jingliao Bo Wu Guojun, it is simply the comparison between the bright moon and the stars.

With the example of Shen Chi's bad influence, Chongzhen prepared to take Zhang Zongheng's governorship and let him stay in the Xuanfu to reflect.

Then Zhang Zongheng wrote a letter saying that the reinforcements Wu Xiang, You Shilu, etc. came to help, but none of them came. Instead, the incident of looting the people of Xuanfu really made Chongzhen very irritable.

What is the difference between the behavior of these Liaodong soldiers and the Houjin Tartars who looted in Xuanfu?
Chongzhen directly dismissed Wu Xiang and continued to return to imperial prison. You Shilu was demoted to one level, and his salary was fined for three months.

After the Dalinghe battle that year, Sun Chengzong quit and Wu Xiang was imprisoned. Everyone pleaded for mercy and wanted to give him a chance to follow Zu Dabi to pacify Shandong and make military exploits.Even Wu Sangui was promoted to deputy commander.

But after Wu Xiang led the army alone, he ended up like this. Chongzhen was very disappointed with him. Since his son was doing well, the father just stayed in the imperial prison to reflect.

Waiting for his son to make new achievements and find an excuse to release him is considered a favor.

Now Chongzhen looks down upon Wu Xiang and the others.

I have Uncle Jing and Liao Wu Guojun here, so why worry about not being able to pacify Liaodong?

If it weren't for the fact that the guest soldiers who went to Liaodong many times to fight were easy to die, and Liaodong no longer had counterattack troops in a short period of time, Chongzhen really wanted to send Wu Guojun to Liaodong.

Uncle Jingliao Wu Guojun made his name in the capital of the Ming Dynasty for the second time, specializing in killing Jurchen dog tartars!
This matter has been widely spread in the noble circles, especially Congratulations to Zhu Chunchen, the Duke of Cheng.

His absurd young son was lucky to kill the high-ranking Houjin Tazi with a single fire.

Compared with Ming Dynasty, isn't this equivalent to slaughtering a Duke?

After all, most of the Belle and Beizi of the Houjin Tartars are the princes and county kings of the Ming Dynasty, so the Duke Chaopin is not the Duke of the Ming Dynasty.

It really boosted my noble prestige!
Facing the compliments from everyone, Zhu Chunchen had a smile on his face, but he felt a little distressed in his heart.

good boy!
He really is a cub who sells his father, Tian Tian doesn't feel bad!

So much food has been sent out, and he has to spend money to buy it.

But it's done.

If the food is not sent back, it is difficult to wait for Yangguli's head to fail to reach the capital, and let His Majesty know that it is a fake, then he has committed the crime of deceiving the emperor.

Zhu Chunchen originally thought that by stuffing his son there, he could earn a few heads of Jurchen Tartars, and he would be a good official in the future, so he gave him a big one at once.

If the father doesn't lie, what else can he do.

Compared to giving up some money and food, Xungui's offending the emperor is more serious!
They don't have real power like civil servants, and the army in their hands really can't fight, so they don't have much confidence.

Of course, the other nobles who don't know the truth don't think so.

The prodigal sons of Cheng Guogong's family can make such great achievements, and there are some useless sons in the family, who can also be sent to Uncle Jingliao to practice and practice.

It can be said that it was a fluke to kill Mang Gurtai last time, but this time it became strength.

Didn't you see that Wu Xiang was about to be imprisoned again?
There is no harm without comparison.

Anyone can see that Uncle Jingliao Wu Guojun is completely in the eyes of His Majesty, and he is very favored. It is uncertain that the Earl will be promoted to Marquis in the future.

Such a good thigh, who wouldn't want to hug it?

When Wu Xiang, the commander-in-chief of Ningyuan, was captured again by Jin Yiwei, he was sentenced to lax military management and afraid of the enemy, so he should go back to the Imperial Prison and wait.

On the way back to the capital, Wu Xiang's servant secretly gave Jin Yiwei hundreds of silver coins, only then did he realize that such a big event had happened in the capital.

Wu Xiang, who was sitting in the car, leaned on the fence with both hands:

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

He has been in Liaodong for so many years, and he is Zu Dashou's brother-in-law, so he knows how capable the Hou Jin Tartar is.

Is Wu Guojun a fart?

Mang Gurtai was beheaded in the early stage, so how many people did he only bring with him?

Forcibly relying on the army to grind him, Wu Xiang felt that he could grind him to death on the grassland!
But this time it was Huang Taiji who came to Xuanda to cause chaos and led the team himself, with nearly 10 horses under his command.

He, Wu Guojun, only brought a few thousand people, but he dared to rush to the yellow flag and shot Yang Guli to death?
Before the two sides fought, Wu Xiang believed that Yang Guli had shot Wu Guojun to death first.

What do Ming's generals and Dajin's generals look like? Can he, who has been hanging out in Liaodong all the year round, not know?

"Master, that's what Jin Yiwei said, and the capital has already spread the word."

"Damn it." Wu Xiang sat in the car, "There must be something inside this matter."

Wu Xiang was busy looting the Xuan Mansion, but the Empress Jin Tartars robbed it anyway, and if he robbed it again, he could definitely push it to Huang Taiji.

Regarding the war in Datong Mansion, he also sent sentry cavalry to investigate.

It's a pity that there are few people there, and almost all of them were ravaged by Houjin.

The officers and soldiers would not publicize that the Hammer Bandits had won the Houjin Tartars, and the Hammer Bandits also had a tacit understanding, bringing all the people of Datong Mansion back to Shanxi, and not giving Wu Xiang the opportunity to send people to find fellow villagers.

Moreover, his sentry cavalry did not dare to enter Datong to investigate carefully. He only needed to monitor when the Houjin Tartars would return to Xuanfu from Datong, and let them prepare in advance.

Snapped.

You Shilu swept off the tea bowl on the table and scolded Wu Guojun as a shameless person!
This kind of person is favored by the emperor!

Thinking back when the hammer bandit He Jinzhao set fire to Zhangjiakou Fort, he was hired only after Chongzhen gave him the position of chief soldier.

At that time, it was He Jinchao helping his father-in-law Lin Danhan to wipe out the left wing of Mongolia, and then it was reported that Wu Guojun beheaded Mang Gurtai.

You Shilu believed that He Jinzhao was appointed to sit down for this matter, and Wu Guojun took advantage of him and conferred him a title, which made everyone's envious chickens nervous.

But he never expected that Wu Guojun would become addicted to the "representative fight" and put all of He Jinzhao's achievements on his own head.

How dare you report it directly to His Majesty without shame!
Zhang Zongheng also received the emperor's scolding, and now he is cut off by the slap, but the emperor just beat him and didn't really plan to change him.

Seeing You Shilu so angry, he held his beard and said nothing.

"Governor Zhang, there are such traitors in my Ming Dynasty, why worry that the country and the country will not be handed over to others?"

"I'm not the governor." Zhang Zongheng took a sip of tea slowly:

"The Hammer Bandits fought with the Houjin Tartars, and they won the battle, and Wu Guojun took advantage of it, why are you so anxious!

A fake is always a fake, and if he reveals his secrets at that time, he will die, just wait and see. "

You Shilu hammered the table, and finally sighed unwillingly.

Like his conscientious military training, but the imperial court can't pay all the military salaries under his command, and he still has to be in arrears for several months.

As for the food obtained and the supplement of various weapons and equipment, there is not much.

On the other hand, Uncle Jingliao and Wu Guojun didn't need to send troops at all, he just needed to do some head trading with the hammer bandit He Jinzhao.

He can get a lot of money, food, armor and weapons from the court, especially for him.

His Majesty is too lazy to care about the rest of the troops!

In this way, except for the fake Bo Jingliao who can eat a lot, what fighting power can the rest of the soldiers have?

You Shilu was so aggrieved that he couldn't think of the phrase that bad money drives out good money!
