Start a Ming Dynasty plane

Chapter 393 Chongzhen: My Great Ming Revival Is Hopeful

Yang Sichang looked at the two people in front of him. Both of them were people of status. The old scholar in front of him was Zhou Yanru's aide. event.

And the identity of this young man is even more impressive, this person is Zuo Menggeng, the son of Zuo Liangyu, the General Soldier of Shandong Province.

This son stayed here to contact Yang Sichang. Today Yang Sichang called them in a hurry, and they knew that the big event they planned was about to succeed.

Thinking of this, the two of them looked at Yang Sichang and said, "Master Yang, is Shannan settled?"

After hearing this, Yang Sichang nodded lightly and said: "The news this afternoon, Gao Yingxiang was arrested."

"what?"

Hearing this, the old pedant almost took off his beard, Zuo Menggeng also stared, Gao Yingxiang was arrested so soon?
Yang Sichang smiled and said: "That's right, Gao Yingxiang has been arrested, and he will be escorted to Beijing in a few days, when the time comes, His Majesty will announce the punishment and serve as a warning for the world."

After hearing this, Zuo Menggeng said: "I didn't expect Gao Yingxiang to have a powerful force in Shaanxi, and in the end, he also ended up being defeated and captured. Poor, pitiful."

At this moment, the old pedant stroked his beard, squinted his eyes and looked at Yang Sichang and said, "Gao Yingxiang was captured, what is our plan?"

Yang Sichang smiled and said, "Today, I'm here to inspect the two of you for this matter."

After hearing this, the old scholar smiled and said: "This matter is Master Yang's plan. My master said that everything is arranged by Master Yang, and our strength in the capital will also help Master Yang."

Yang Sichang laughed and said, "That's very good."

After saying that, Yang Sichang looked at Zuo Menggeng, Zuo Menggeng smiled when he saw Yang Sichang looking at him: "Master Yang, my father said that Master Yang is the elder of Menggeng, but he has an order, and he will obey everything."

Hearing this, Yang Sichang laughed and said: "Okay, since this is the case, there are two Laos. We can take the opportunity to launch an attack tomorrow morning, and the two of you will also mobilize your own forces in the court to help Yang."

"Dare to obey."

The two clasped their fists together after hearing this, Yang Sichang smiled and nodded when he saw this, finally waiting for this day.

The rise of Lantian made him feel unbelievable, and the richness of Lantian also made him feel unbelievable, but Lantian's richness did not allow his forces to infiltrate and seize the wealth here, which made him very angry. Blocking the infiltration of scholar-bureaucrats, Lantian is a different kind, since it is a different kind, it must be eliminated.

Daming Imperial Palace, inside the Forbidden City, Chongzhen was having dinner with Empress Zhou, daughter Zhu Yu, and son Zhu Cihong. Today Chongzhen was in a particularly good mood, and the dishes were more abundant than usual, and even had several more meat dishes. You must know that Chongzhen I haven't eaten meat for a long time, in order to save the court's expenses.

But today Chongzhen made an exception. Chongzhen was cheerful, his face was weather-beaten when he was less than 30 years old, and a few strands of white hair could even be seen on the top of his head.

But there was a smile on her face. Seeing that Chongzhen was so happy, Queen Zhou smiled and said, "Your Majesty, why are you so happy today?"

Hearing this, Chongzhen laughed and said, "Don't the queen know? Gao Yingxiang, the bandit leader in Shaanxi, has been captured alive by Lu Xiangsheng. Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting also wiped out all the bandits entrenched in northern Shaanxi. This is unprecedented since the Ming Dynasty suppressed bandits." Great victory."

Upon hearing this, the queen served Chongzhen a bowl of tomato and egg soup and said, "The concubine wants to congratulate His Majesty. Gao Yingxiang has been arrested, and the gangsters have no leader. They will be wiped out in the blink of an eye. The world can be expected."

"Yes."

Chongzhen took the soup bowl, with a hint of emotion on his face: "Since I came to the throne, the fortune of the Ming Dynasty has been declining, and it has gradually withered. First, the mess in Liaodong, followed by the rebellion of the bandits, made the Daming country precarious. Along the way, I didn’t go my way, but fortunately there are ministers like Lu Xiangsheng, Hong Chengchou, and Sun Chuanting, and I hope that from now on, the Ming Dynasty can achieve ZTE under my hands.”

When Chongzhen said this, Zhu Cihong raised his head to look at Chongzhen and said, "Father, don't be sad. When the ministers grow up, help father to rejuvenate the Ming Dynasty."

Chongzhen was taken aback when he heard Zhu Cihuang's words, especially when the big black and crystal eyes looked at him, Chongzhen suddenly felt relieved, and felt that his son was so cute for the first time.

Thinking of Chongzhen handing the tomato and egg soup in his hand to Zhu Cihong, he said, "Cihong is good, father is waiting for you to grow up to help father."

After Chongzhen finished speaking, Auntie Zhu who was on the side also smiled and said, "I will help Emperor Father as well."

Chongzhen smiled and touched the head of Aimee Zhu who was about to grow into a big girl.

For a while, he was full of energy, isn't it just a mere world?The Great Grandfather went from having nothing to conquering this great country, and now I still have millions of troops in my hands, and thousands of generals, and the ministers don’t even count the numbers. Can I beat the Great Grandfather when I am in trouble?

Grandpa was able to conquer the country, but as a descendant, can he still not be able to hold on to this huge country?

For a while, Chongzhen felt that he would be able to rejuvenate Daming. He was more diligent than his elder brother, father, and grandfather. Why could they maintain the rule, but he couldn't?
It doesn't make sense.

……

The news of Gao Yingxiang's arrest spread like wildfire. This is a hero of a generation who can affect the trend of the world.

In Shanxi, Li Zicheng gathered in Fenyang with his troops dispersed by Lu Xiangsheng. At this time, Li Zicheng's troops had been dispersed, leaving only 6000 remnants and defeated generals.

However, Li Zicheng was not discouraged in the slightest. Winning or losing is a common matter in military affairs. If you lose a battle, what are you afraid of? As long as you have your life, you will have a chance to make money. Dry.

At this time Li Zicheng was looking at the map in Shanxi, when there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside, followed by someone breaking into the camp.

"stop."

Li Shichao, as a personal guard general, was guarding the door at this time, and when he saw someone coming, he shouted: "General Chuang is resting, general, don't disturb him."

"Brother Shi Chao, don't stop me. Hurry up and notify General Chuang that something is wrong. King Chuang, King Chuang was captured alive by Lu Xiangsheng."

"what!"

Hearing this news, Li Shichao was shocked, and immediately wanted to report to the tent, but before he could report, the curtain of the tent was torn open, and Li Zicheng rushed out and said, "What happened to King Chuang?"

At this moment, Li Guo, who came to report the news, cupped his fists and said, "Uncle, I just got the news that King Chuang was captured alive by Lu Xiangsheng on Xianglu Peak yesterday."

Hearing these words, it was obvious that Li Zicheng's face changed drastically, his body shook, and he sighed, "Everyone is invited to discuss matters in the accounts."

"Yes."

Li Shichao cupped his fists, and immediately asked his guards to notify the commanders of the battalions.

Soon, all the generals under Li Zicheng came, and at the head of the group was General Liu Zongmin.

Behind Liu Zongmin is Hao Yaoqi, who is also an old friend, followed by Li Guo, Li Laiheng, these relatives and generals.

After all the leaders entered the camp, they saw Li Zicheng sitting in the main seat with a sinking face.

Everyone suddenly became tense.

"Chuang general."

Everyone clasped their fists, Li Zicheng nodded, and immediately asked everyone to sit down. There were no benches in the barracks, only some meadows, and everyone sat on the ground. At this time, Li Zicheng took the lead to say: "I think everyone should already know that King Chuang defeated Xianglu Peak and was killed by the army." Lu Xiangsheng was caught alive, and he invited everyone here today just to ask everyone what they think."

After hearing this, everyone looked at Li Zicheng, and Li Zicheng said: "King Chuang is the leader of our rebel army. Now that he is defeated and arrested, we should go to rescue him, but now the bandit army is powerful. None of Lu Xiangsheng, Hong Chengchou, and Sun Chuanting are Yi Yu's generation, so it is very dangerous to go to rescue King Chuang, I invite everyone here today to ask, who is willing to go with me to rescue King Chuang."

After hearing this, everyone looked at each other, and Liu Zongmin was the first to speak: "General Chuang, King Chuang was defeated and captured by Lu Xiangsheng. They even have firearms produced by Lantian in their hands, especially the kind of palm mine that explodes when thrown, the power is too terrifying."

"Last time Laiheng led 200 elite troops from the headquarters to attack Lu Xiangsheng's [-]-man team, losing more than [-] men, and failed to capture a hill occupied by the opponent. Compared with the official army, our strength is too different, and we are in Shanxi. I also fought with Lu Xiangsheng once, and as a result, our [-] elite soldiers were beaten to pieces by Lu Xiangsheng, and now only [-] to [-] soldiers are left to survive."

"Next we have to face the encirclement and suppression by the government army. At this time, we should hide ourselves as much as possible, so as not to be discovered by the government army, and recuperate. How can we expose our whereabouts and rescue King Chuang?"

Liu Zongmin watched Li Zicheng speak out his thoughts in detail. Liu Zongmin had a special status in Li Zicheng's army, he was almost the number two of Li Zicheng's subordinates, and he was not the kind of real authority who obeyed the top leaders in everything.

However, Li Zicheng relies heavily on Liu Zongmin, and Liu Zongmin also supports Li Zicheng very much. It belongs to the existence of loyalty enough, but not foolish loyalty.

As soon as Liu Zongmin finished speaking, all the generals under his command looked at Li Zicheng, Li Zicheng nodded at this moment and said: "What Zongmin said is very reasonable, but King Chuang treats me very kindly. Since the uprising, King Chuang has always treated me well. Like a younger brother, he always thinks of me, thanks to King Chuang for taking care of him these years, now that King Chuang is captured, how can I ignore my past friendship because of my own safety."

After hearing this, Li Guo said: "Uncle, King Chuang waited for me to be reborn with kindness, but we are also loyal to King Chuang. In order to save King Chuang, we gave up the good situation in Jinzhong and galloped in the starry night to rescue King Chuang. , [-] elites were beaten to pieces by Lu Xiangsheng, can we have a complaint?"

"Aren't these enough to repay King Chuang's kindness to us?"

At this time Li Guo looked at Li Zicheng and said, after hearing this Li Zicheng said: "But King Chuang is in his hands, how can we turn a blind eye?"

After listening to Li Zicheng's words, everyone was silent. This righteousness stands here, and there are some things that cannot be refuted clearly. At this time, Li Zicheng and Li Shichao, who had been silent all this time, spoke.

Li Shichao, as the earliest Conglong hero who followed Li Zicheng, has always had a high status. The only pity is that Li Shichao doesn't like to lead troops to fight, but has always been the leader of Li Zicheng's personal guard, but even so, no one dares to underestimate Li Shichao. After all, according to merit and seniority, Li Shichao can definitely lead a battalion alone, but when Li Zicheng is about to divide his troops and select a new general in charge, Li Shichao will give up the opportunity to the newcomers, such as Li Laiheng, For example, He Jin, such as Tian Jianxiu, these are the general positions that Li Shichao gave up.

May I ask such a personal guard general who doesn't pay attention to fame and wealth, and is very old and popular, who can not take a high look?

Even if Liu Zongmin saw Li Shichao, he would smile and call Shi Chao brother.

Therefore, although this is a general-level meeting, Li Shichao has the right to participate, although in the past such meetings Li Shichao generally did not say a word, did not make any decisions, and did not offend anyone.

But today Li Shichao opened his mouth, there is no way, Li Zicheng is going to commit suicide to rescue Gao Yingxiang, this is obviously to die, Li Zicheng can't die, he is an important pawn in the county lord's hand, a pioneer, Da Ming also has a bunch of landlords, tyrants, stubborn The scholar-bureaucrat class needs him to clean up, so Li Shichao is obliged to correct such stupid things.

At this moment Li Shichao looked at Li Zicheng and said, "Brother Li, I want to say a few words."

Everyone was taken aback when they heard the words, because Li Shichao's address had changed. He used to be called General Chuang, but today he was replaced by Brother Li. It seemed that he was going to say something heart-warming.

Everyone looked at Li Shichao, Li Shichao's face remained unchanged and he said: "Brother Li, King Chuang treats him just like he treats me. Let's make a hypothesis, if one day you are arrested by the court, I have a group of brothers under my command. Take the brothers to beg the eldest brother, but if we go, maybe our group will be caught by the court and decapitated."

Speaking of this, everyone looked at Li Zicheng. Isn't Li Shichao just applying the current situation to Li Zicheng?

At this time Li Zicheng also frowned slightly, and Li Shichao said: "Then brother, do you want us to rob the dharma field to save you, or do you want us to grow quietly and wait for one day to lead the army, kill the enemy, and avenge you, brother?"

After saying this, Li Shichao looked at Li Zicheng, his eyes were sincere and he didn't do anything, the corners of Liu Zongmin's mouth turned up when he heard the words, he was still Shi Chao's brother, this sentence hit the point, he said so much, it was useless, but When Brother Shi Chao said these words, he hit the vital point directly, and he knew the answer by looking at General Chuang's expression.

These rebels have long looked down on life and death. Death is not terrible. At worst, it will be enough for my brothers to avenge themselves in the future. Great job.

At this time, the rogues were in the stage of starting a business, and they were more cautious about life and death. They didn't start to be afraid of death when they had prosperity and wealth in the later stage.

Everyone looked at Li Zicheng, and Li Zicheng sighed at this moment: "I understand, pass on my military order, and the whole army will rest immediately, and wait for us to make a comeback and avenge Brother Gao!"

"Yes."
