Be the emperor from the postman

Chapter 855 Gathering of Rebel Army (Two in One)

Chongzhen decreed on November 29 that Chen Qiyu was resigned from his post and inspected.

The emperor expressed his position in this way, and after receiving the signal, both the cabinet and the courtiers accused Chen Qiyu of "playing with the bandits and taking advantage of the enemy, deceiving the emperor and neglecting his superiors."

"Chen Qiyu doesn't know soldiers, so how could there be tigers and wolves who would kneel down with their arms crossed and beg for surrender without suffering great damage?"

"In the Battle of Chariot Gap, the bandits were trapped by the accumulated rain, it was God's blessing, and this day, if Chen Qiyu took the risk to invite an attack, tens of thousands of bandits would come down with one blow!
However, Governor Chen was fooled by him and was able to retaliate.

Alas!
If you don't take it from the heavens, you will be blamed instead. "

Previously, it was these people who boasted about Chen Qiyu's ability to be the governor of the five provinces, and praised him for his good idea of ​​recruiting, but now it is these people who stepped on him and scolded him.

Most likely because of the loss of the holy family, stepping on Chen Qiyu is the current political correctness of the Ming court.

Chongzhen ordered Jinyiwei officials to go to Shanxi to arrest Chen Qiyu, and then ordered Chen Qiyu, who failed to suppress the bandits, to be abolished.

Hong Chengchou was still the governor of the three sides. With his meritorious service, he added the crown prince Taibao, the title of minister of the Ministry of war, and the governor of Henan, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Huguang, and Sichuan provinces.

From then on, he became the main military commander of the Ming court to suppress the uprising army.

The concept of Chongzhen's employment is that if you have more Ming, you will not have more, and if you have less, you will not have more.

You can't achieve the effect I want, so I changed you immediately.

If it is light, it will be sent to the Imperial Prison, and if it is serious, it will be passed on to the first nine sides.

The political environment of Ming Dynasty highlights the survival of the fittest, the more you do, the more mistakes you make.

There is no room for sand in my eyes.

The imperial court ministers are like this, and the generals outside are also not much better.

Even Shang Kexi, who had been hated by the country and family in the early stage, led the team to vote for Houjin as a traitor and became the leading party.

Everything is explaining, don't be a good person at the end of Ming Dynasty!

If you really want to be a good person and do good deeds, and still want to stay within the framework of the Ming Dynasty, and don’t want to surrender to the Qing Dynasty or join the Peasant Army, then you must not give the court a good face.

Today's Ming court is a coward who bullies the weak and fears the hard, the more honest and obedient the court is, the harder the court squeezes!
If you become tough, he still has to take care of you, take care of you, and rush to coax you.

In the early stage, Mao Wenlong pua the Ming court, reporting great victories every day. Although the court was unhappy if they wanted this or that, they had to give what they had to give.

In the later period, Zuo Liangyu supported his troops with self-respect and refused to obey orders. Not only did Chongzhen dare not punish him, but he also punished those generals who insisted on fighting against the rebel army and were defeated.

If we can't rule the Ming generals who support their troops and self-respect, can't we rule you defeated generals who have lost their troops and lost their generals?
Chongzhen knew very well who to turn to to vent his anger.

With such behavior, there are fewer and fewer generals who dare to fight for the court, and they all protect themselves and let the bandits grow bigger.

After Chen Qiyu failed to appease him, Zuo Liangyu showed signs of turning against Pua Daming.

Sure enough, isn't this bullying honest people?

Who dares to be loyal to Ming Dynasty in the long-standing ruling philosophy of bad money driving out good money?
Da Ming dares to kill you first!

The courtiers all suggested that Chen Qiyu should be executed on the spot and passed on to the Nine Sides.

But Wen Tiren, the chief assistant of the cabinet, supported him with all his strength, and was only sentenced to garrison, and was first locked up in the Imperial Prison for a period of time.

Then with Chen Qiyu in exile were Li Jiayan, Han Ting, and Lian Guoshi who were framed by him.

The pros and cons of this matter of appeasement, no one settled well.

Because Zhang Fengyi, Minister of the Ministry of War, defended Chen Qiyu, he was impeached by the censor to delay the major affairs of confiscating Xinjiang and demanded his dismissal, but Chongzhen ignored it and defended Zhang Fengyi.

The official also advised Hong Chengchou to take care of the situation, please don't send anyone as governor, Zhang Fengyi can't decide, so he asked Jiangbei governor Yang Yipeng to town Fengyang to protect the imperial tomb, Wen Tiren refused to listen.

Zhang Fengyi couldn't take care of himself, and his in-law Chen Qiyu was also saved by the first assistant, so he didn't dare to go against Wen Tiren's opinion.

Wait until the court discusses how to deal with the crimes of Chen Qiyu and others.

Shaanxi became more and more chaotic.

Because Chongzhen abolished [-] frontier troops, a large number of officers and soldiers lost their jobs.

In order to survive, they can only choose to join the entrepreneurial team composed of previously unemployed postmen, frontier soldiers, and refugees.

That is, Hammer bandit He Jinzhao and the ranks of many bandits who are wreaking havoc in Shaanxi.

Jiang Rang, the deputy general of Yansui, didn't stop his soldiers from fleeing across the city, but just took his servants to guard against death.

In case some thieves wanted to pick off their own heads and went to He Jinzhao to ask for a reward, it would be a big loss.

Gao Yingxiang and others welcomed these frontier soldiers very much. Many old soldiers with combat effectiveness had been lost in non-combat in the carriage gorge.

Who wouldn't be happy to be supplemented by some veterans of the frontier army?
It can be said that because of Emperor Chongzhen's order to abolish the 20 frontier troops, Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng and others had mobilized nearly [-] troops, ushering in a second spring in the cause of rebellion.

Not only has all the losses in the carriage gorge been recovered, but the strength has also become stronger.

The imperial court ordered the abolition of [-] yuan, intending to abolish the empty payment, but the order was issued, and the empty payment was not abolished.

On the contrary, the actual number of frontier soldiers has exceeded 2.

After the winter, Hong Chengchou finally received the emperor's appointment and officially started to encircle and suppress the rebels entrenched in Shaanxi.

Gao Yingxiang and others crossed the Qingyang Mansion and led their troops to reconcile with He Jinzhao again.

At this time, the two sides have already exchanged shotguns for guns, and they are no longer as poor as before.

The flag is fluttering, looking to the south of the cliff mouth, the flag is covering the sky, the sun is shining brightly, the South Mountain is in the south, and the river is in the north.

Waves and clouds came rushing in, only the neighing of war horses could be heard.

From dawn to night, the joint operation is tens of miles.

The officers and soldiers huddled in the city, not daring to shoot an arrow.

"Brother Gao."

He Jinzhao rode his horse and raised his whip and laughed loudly.

"Brother He."

Gao Yingxiang was still wearing a white robe and riding a big white horse.

After they met, they greeted each other. In the short few months of arguing in the Ming court, Gao Yingxiang and others did not see the tragic image of being trapped in the carriage gorge.

"Brother He."

Li Zicheng and others also greeted.

Everyone was sitting around a room in a frontier fort, and the roast lamb was already turning.

They sat around the fire to keep warm.

This winter is getting colder and colder.

Gao Yingxiang and others told how they were rained for two months, but now that they think about it, they don't know how to persevere.

In the follow-up, in order not to pollute the water source, even the corpses had to be hung up on the cliff, or I would have to soak my hair, and everyone would have to drink water from the corpse soup.

Even if it is buried in the ground, it will be watered out.

Back then they were really afraid of the plague or something.

He Jinzhao agreed with this. Life in the tropical rainforest is not something everyone can endure, especially if the large number of dead bodies are not disposed of in time in summer.prone to plague.

Li Zicheng and others laughed loudly, saying that they never wanted to eat raw horse meat again in this life.

He Jinzhao also smiled cooperatively. If he couldn't bear this bit of hardship, he would have been tortured to death by various officials, gentry and even the environment of the Ming Dynasty long before the incident started.

Now that they have narrowly escaped death, and many frontier troops have joined, it has really delayed the "blessing" of the court.

"By the way, brother He, I heard that the frontier soldiers who surrendered said that you beat up the dog tartar?"

He Jinzhao was pulling the lamb with a knife, hoping to roast it faster, so he nodded.

"But my damage is not small."

He Jinzhao put the knife aside: "If it weren't for the artillery bombardment, I might not be able to defeat them."

"Ah."

Gao Yingxiang nodded, he knew that He Jinzhao was a cautious person.

He had also heard of the name of the Golden Tartar after that, and the imperial court's tens of thousands of troops could not defeat him.

It is said that even if the Tartars were defeated, they would still be separated from the encirclement of the Ming army in a team of ten or 20, which is enough to see their organizational and combat effectiveness.

After strolling around outside, everyone also grew up.

Otherwise, these bandit leaders will die sooner or later.

"It's really hard to deal with the officers and soldiers all over the world." Zhang Xianzhong squeezed the roasted mutton and threw it into his mouth: "After a few days, the imperial army will come again."

Don't look at the uprising army re-rolling 20 horses in Shaanxi, but very few of them are good at fighting.

The subordinates who met He Jinchao were all the elite soldiers of the leaders to support the scene.

The rest of the soldiers of the rebel army are not considered soldiers at all!

Most of them can't survive, especially when winter is coming again, it is better to follow the rebels and find a way to eat together.

Shanxi Youhe is currently under construction for water conservancy, and it is still suffering from drought, and the rest of Shaanxi is suffering even more.

Listening to Zhang Xianzhong's complaints, everyone ignored them and remained silent for a while.

Gao Yingxiang spat out the bones in his mouth: "I heard that the imperial court is going to gather soldiers from all over the world to kill the Shaanxi bandits first, and then besiege the Shaanxi hammer bandits from all sides. Brother He, what do you think?"

"What do you think?"

He Jinzhao paused and laughed, "The imperial court has wanted to kill us since we started the incident. Have they killed us now?"

"Hahaha."

Everyone laughed for a while, that was indeed the case, although the soldiers under their hands had been changed one after another, but their strength was stronger than before.

They also have a very small number of elite soldiers in their hands. As long as these foundations are there, what does it matter if most of the soldiers are killed by the imperial army?
Grandpa can make a comeback!
As long as you don't enter the deadly place like the carriage gorge next time, it will be fine.

They really didn't expect that the people in this world really wanted to serve the court, and they would rather die than take them to a dead end to serve the court.

"However, Brother Gao and you brothers have suffered a lot in Chexiangxia, and now it is the cold season, and it is designated that one place cannot support 20 horses."

"Brother He is right."

Gao Yingxiang is also extremely troubled by these things. After all, there are too many people. How much food will the mouths of those 20 people consume every day?
The army was like locusts crossing the border, and even a few landlords could not support the basic necessities of 20 people.

He Jinchao paused for a moment and said with a smile: "If the imperial army comes to attack, it is better to divide the troops instead of marching bloatedly."

"How to divide the troops?"

Although Gao Yingxiang knew that the number of officers and soldiers in the imperial court was not superior, but the soldiers in his hands could fight, and a considerable part of his soldiers had never fought, let alone obeyed orders.

Overall, it highlights a random character.

The imperial court was arguing about which high-ranking officials had neglected their duties, and it was fine that they had no time to talk to them.

Now that the dust has settled, they want to continue to act like this. Regardless of the number of people, they will have to be defeated when they meet Hong Chengchou!

"Our troops are divided into three groups. I will go back to my Shanxi first. Your troops will be divided into two groups. One goes from Wuguan to Xiangyang and enters Huguang, which is a large grain production area. The other goes east from Lushi and enters Henan to continue to plunder the county Wang Shishen and others."

He Jinchao's idea is that when the imperial army comes, we will withdraw and divide the troops into three groups, and see how he divides the troops.

As for letting Gao Yingxiang and others rob the vassal king, he did not give up this hope.

He Jinzhao's ability to manage two vassal kings in a row and make a fortune is really not ordinary luck.

Everyone has also tried the idea of ​​the feudal king, and in the end they all know how difficult it is to fight the feudal king.

Cao Cao Luo Rucai smiled when he heard the words: "Marshal He wanted me to lure away the officers and soldiers gathered in Shaanxi to make such an arrangement."

He Jinzhao glanced at him and said with a smile, "Luo Rucai, it's none of my business that you stay in Shaanxi!"

"Marshal He, I will not stay in Shaanxi and wait to die."

"Since you know you are waiting to die in Shaanxi, why did you say that nonsense just now?"

Luo Rucai smiled and said: "I want to go to Shanxi, I wonder if Marshal He can make it easier for me?"

"It's not convenient." He Jinzhao glanced at Luo Rucai, "Are you satisfied with my answer?"

"Then I want to go in."

"You old bastard, come in and try."

"You!" Luo Rucai bit his flesh and said, "He Jinchao, I respect you and call you, if you annoy me, look at me!"

Gao Yingxiang glared at Luo Rucai and stopped talking immediately.

"Brother Gao, as the saying goes, good words are hard to persuade, you damn ghost." He Jinzhao held a meat-cutting knife in his hand:

"Luo Rucai, don't you take a piss to see what you are, how dare you bark and shake your face in front of me.

I think I'm giving you face because they are all brothers from the rebel army, so you go ahead.

If this bit of face is used up in the end, in the whole room, the one I despise the most is you.

You deserve to talk to me too?
If the mouth on your face doesn't want to eat, and the thing in your crotch doesn't want to play with women anymore, just tell me.

I will definitely find you a place with good geomantic omen, and bury you in a three-inch thick coffin! "

Although Luo Rucai's face was full of anger, he was in a panic.

He really didn't expect He Jinzhao to say such a thing. After all, he felt that Shanxi was governed by He Jinzhao, and he was appointed to be rich.

They are all rebel brothers, what if I take something from you?
Luo Rucai was persuaded by the people on the side, borrowing the slope to get off the donkey, and dared not speak.

Old Hui Hui smiled while smoking his cigarette: "Marshal He, why bother to be so cowardly with him, don't hurt the peace among our rebels."

In his heart, he wanted to defect to He Jinzhao, so he had to say something first.

As he got older, he didn't have any intention of fighting for hegemony, he just wanted to live with his family and tribe.

"Brother Ma, some people are used to being rampant, and they always feel that everyone has to give in to him."

He Jinzhao smiled at Lao Hui: "If I don't scold him, I will inevitably suffer a big loss in the future and lose my head."

"Luo Rucai, you have to thank Marshal He."

"I, still have to thank him?"

Luo Rucai couldn't believe it, he was the one who scolded Lao Tzu first, and I had to thank him in the end.

"Thank you." Gao Yingxiang echoed.

Just as Luo Ru was about to speak, He Jinzhao waved his hand to stop him from speaking:
"No, he doesn't mean it sincerely, it's useless."
