Start a Ming Dynasty plane

In the 13th year of Chongzhen, in June, Li Zicheng blew up the city wall of Luoyang, led an army of 30 soldiers into Luoyang, and occupied Luoyang, the most important state capital in Henan.

Liu Zeqing, the general garrison of Luoyang, took advantage of the chaos and fled. Fu Wang's family was captured. Fu Wang knelt down and begged Li Zicheng to spare his life. Several deer are boiled together in a big pot and shared with the generals, which is called "Fu Lu Banquet".

So far, Li Zicheng flooded Kaifeng, attacked Xuzhou, went down to Ruyang, and finally took Luoyang, completed the occupation of most of Henan, and became the biggest bandit in the world.

Li Zicheng's occupation of Luoyang shocked the world. The next day, Sun Chuanting rushed to the city of Luoyang with 1 recruits.

After several battles, Sun Chuanting was defeated. He was chased by Li Zicheng's general Liu Zongmin for more than [-] miles. Waiting for reinforcements.

In the south of Henan, news of Yang Sichang's department also arrived. At this time, in Yang Sichang's camp, the marching Sima rushed in, saw Yang Sichang and said: "My lord, it's not good."

"Cough cough cough..."

Yang Sichang's face was pale at this time, and he was reading the marching documents. He Renlong was inextricably fighting Yuan Zongdi under Li Zicheng's command at the front line, but he still has the advantage at present. As long as Luoyang sticks to it, He Renlong will fight Yuan Zong After spending more than ten days, Yuan Zongdi's defeat will be decided. At that time, he will go north, Sun Chuanting will go south, and the two sides will attack, and Li Zicheng will be defeated.

Thinking of this, Yang Sichang was still a little excited. Whoever said that Daming would be Lu Xiangsheng with a white jade pillar supporting the sky and a purple gold beam in the sea. Without you, Lu Xiangsheng, I, Yang Sichang, would still be able to hold up the sky of Daming.

But when Yang Sichang was ambitious, the marching Sima ran in, Yang Sichang raised his head, and the wind that lifted the curtain of the tent blew in, making Yang Sichang cough continuously, and his illness became more and more serious.

"Ahem...what's the matter?"

Yang Sichang raised his head and looked at Marching Sima weakly. At this moment, Marching Sima said worriedly: "My lord, are you sick?"

"It's okay, tell me quickly, what's the matter?"

Yang Sichang looked at Sima Xingjun and said, after hearing this, Sima Xingjun hesitated a little and said: "My lord, urgent report from Luoyang."

"Well, tell me what's going on? Cough cough cough..."

Yang Sichang looked eagerly at Sima Xingjun, who was trembling while holding the document and said, "My lord, Luoyang is gone."

"What! Cough cough cough...cough cough cough..."

Hearing this, Yang Sichang's face, which had always been quiet in ancient times, showed unprecedented horror at this time, followed by an uncontrollable cough. Yang Sichang covered his mouth with a handkerchief, but when he took it away, it was full of blood. Marching Sima Frightened, he looked at Yang Sichang and shouted, "My lord, my lord?"

Yang Sichang waved his hand and said, "Give me... the military report."

Hearing this, the marching Sima immediately handed the military newspaper to Yang Sichang. Yang Sichang opened the military newspaper, which clearly stated the cause and effect of the battle. The intruders blew up the north city wall of Luoyang in the early morning, and the commander-in-chief Liu Zeqing saw that there was nothing he could do, so he abandoned the city and fled. , Sun Chuanting arrived the next day, fought a battle with Li Zicheng, lost, and returned home in a big defeat.Fu Wang's family was accidentally captured alive by Li Zicheng. Li Zicheng ordered Fu Wang to be cooked in a cauldron with several deer and share the food with the generals, calling it "Fu Lu Banquet".

Yang Sichang looked at the military newspaper in his hand, his face became more and more red, his eyes seemed to be bleeding, and finally Yang Sichang put down the military newspaper, his body trembling slightly: "Liu Zeqing is shameless, Sun Chuanting has wronged the country, pfft~ "

A mouthful of blood spewed out, instantly dyeing the entire military newspaper red, the dazzling red was particularly eye-catching.

"My lord, my lord!"

When the blood spurted out, Yang Sichang fell directly on his back. Seeing the fallen Yang Sichang, Marching Sima was in a panic, and hurried up to help Yang Sichang, but at this time Yang Sichang had completely fainted, and Marching Sima shouted for help: "Quickly send the military doctor, Quickly send the military doctor..."

Hearing the movement, Yang Sichang's personal guard immediately went to the military doctor, and soon the military doctor came in with a medicine box on his back, felt Yang Sichang's pulse, he was already so angry that he couldn't seem to live.

At this moment, the military doctor shook his head at Sima Marching with a pale face.

Marching Sima grabbed the military doctor by the neck and said: "Do you know what you are talking about? Daming is in danger now. If something happens to Mr. Yang, do you know what is going to happen to Mr. Yang? I order you to open Mr. Yang immediately. Medicine, save Master Yang!"

The military doctor looked pale at this time, looked at Sima Xingjun and said, "My lord, even if you kill me, it's useless. Your lord is sick from overwork and has lived in the south for a long time. The moisture doesn't melt, hurt your heart and lungs, and you've experienced great grief. Injury, collapse of Qi, loss of blood, can be exhausted, even if the Daluo Immortal is alive, he can't save Master Yang."

"How could this be? Is there nothing we can do?"

The military doctor shook his head when he heard this, and said, "If you want Master Yang to wake up, the only way is to hang your life with ginseng soup, but ginseng soup can only temporarily stabilize your condition, but it doesn't save your life. You should understand my mistake." mean."

Hearing this, Sima Xingjun sighed and said, "Mate, hurry up and make ginseng soup."

"Yes."

Soon the ginseng soup was ready, and Sima Xingjun poured it down for Yang Sichang. The century-old ginseng soup was really effective. After drinking a cup of ginseng soup, Yang Sichang, who was as pale as a dead man, slowly turned rosy, followed by The red is scary, and the red is even redder than normal people. Seeing this scene, the old military doctor sighed and looked back!
Finally Yang Sichang's eyes opened, he touched his chest, and found that he didn't cough anymore. Yang Sichang is a man with seven orifices, and knowing that he would not live long, he took a long breath and said, "Sima, bring a pen and paper!"

"Yes."

Marching Sima immediately took the pen and paper, and Yang Sichang thought for a while and wrote on the pen and paper:
Your Majesty Ann

After the minister was a sinful minister, he should have died among the fields, and spent the rest of his life in a thatched cottage. His poems and books were passed on to his family, and he was a farmer.

However, Your Majesty will not sin against your ministers for the crimes of their fathers. You will enable your ministers to show their aspirations and be loyal to the court. You will use your ministers to spread their nets on all sides and make four positive and six corners. , the rogue bandits are everywhere, and the suppression is endless, so that now the smoke is billowing, and the world is beckoning.

Now that Zhang Xianzhong has entered Shu, we can ignore it for the time being. However, Li Zicheng occupied the Central Plains and conquered Luoyang, which became a serious problem for the court. I wanted to delay my illness to calm the Central Plains.

From now on, I can't see Your Majesty, I can't share my worries with Your Majesty, I can't see Your Majesty in peace, and the Ming Dynasty is rejuvenated. I feel very regretful and tearful. I bid farewell to Your Majesty here.

After ordering me to leave, the affairs of Henan can be handed over to Sun Chuanting. This man is well-versed in military affairs and loyal. If the military affairs are entrusted to this man, he will definitely live up to His Majesty's heart. He can be called the second Lu Xiangsheng of the Ming Dynasty.
"Cough cough cough..."

When Yang Sichang wrote this, he couldn't stop coughing, the light in his eyes was much less, his hands were trembling, and he murmured: "Lu Xiangsheng, Lu Xiangsheng..."

After speaking, Yang Sichang's body froze suddenly, and then he fell down slowly, his breathing stopped, and he passed away suddenly.

"My lord, my lord..."

Seeing Yang Sichang fall down again, the marching Sima tried his best to shake Yang Sichang, but Yang Sichang was already as soft as a puddle of mud. When he checked his breath, he was lifeless. The marching Sima was shocked and called the military doctor. pulse, and finally sighed and said: "Master Yang is gone!"

As soon as this remark came out, the audience was stunned, Sima Xingjun looked at Yang Sichang's last last words, and couldn't help sighing, Master Yang was also thinking about Daming before he died.

Everyone sighed when they heard the words, and immediately sent Yang Sichang's suicide note, as well as the Henan Military News, to the capital at an expedited speed of [-] miles, and to Emperor Chongzhen following the request of the marching army commander.

But as soon as this request came out, someone raised objections. At this time, Yang Sichang's confidant general, Dong Mingkun pointed to Sun Chuanting on Yang Sichang's suicide note and said: "Master Yang actually recommended Sun Chuanting as the commander-in-chief of the Henan battlefield in the end, so how should we behave ourselves?" place?"

Dong Mingkun's words are very important. Sun Chuanting has been getting close to Lu Xiangsheng all these years, and they are Yang Sichang's hardcore, so they are very at odds with each other, especially in Shandong, when Yang Sichang and Lu Xiangsheng engaged in a cold war, they were all on the side of Sun Chuanting. The opposite of ah.

They turned a deaf ear to Sun Chuanting's repeated calls for help, and even made things difficult. At that time, they made up their minds to hang out with Yang Sichang, but now that Yang Sichang is dead and Sun Chuanting is in charge, is there any good for them?
Thinking of all the questions raised here, Sima Xingjun looked at what everyone said, and sighed: "You are all Lord Yang's confidantes, and you all know some things well. Lord Yang has grievances with Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting, but now The world is in turmoil, is it you, Dong Mingkun, who are capable of turning the tide, or are you generals able to turn the tide?"

"Master Yang was thinking about Daming in the end, and he did not hesitate to recommend his enemies. As Lord Yang's confidantes, how could you not understand the truth behind this? Don't you want to see Master Yang's loyal heart and fall into the mortal world? ?”

After hearing this, everyone was silent, and the marching army Sima sealed Yang Sichang's last letter with the military newspaper in an envelope, sealed it with wax, and then called his confidant, and rushed it to the capital for eight hundred miles.

At this time, due to Yang Sichang's remaining prestige and the insistence of the marching Sima, the generals could only watch. The most important thing is that they felt that Yang Sichang was dead now, and the entire Henan battlefield would have no one except Sun Chuanting. .

In fact, there is a high probability that the imperial court will choose Sun Chuanting to take charge of the Henan battlefield, but Yang Sichang's letter will increase the probability to more than 90.00%, which is almost a certainty.

Therefore, the generals want to oppose it. Now it is useless to object, and the generals can only find their own way. Anyway, even if Sun Chuanting becomes the commander-in-chief, it is not an easy matter to control the fragmented Henan battlefield. After all, the military power is still on him. In your hands, you can do a lot more operations.

Henan information was immediately sent to the capital,
Late at night, in the imperial study room, Chongzhen was reading the memorials on various ministries, and felt uneasy. Recently, the capital has been very stable. Those arrogant and domineering nobles have restrained themselves, and the civil servants and generals of the court have stopped attacking each other. The entire court seems to be in harmony .

Zhou Yanru even reported that the rain in Hebei is good this year, and the grain may usher in a small bumper harvest, which will be [-]% more than the next year. This news made Chongzhen happy for several days. How can there be any good news in Ming Dynasty these years? Ah, this is the best news Chongzhen has ever received.

But Chongzhen understood the meaning of extreme joy begets sorrow, and the war in Henan was pending, Chongzhen's heart was always hanging, and he dared not slack off.

Empress Zhou saw that Chongzhen was reading the memorial, and came in with a bowl of soup.

Chongzhen knew that it was Queen Zhou who said, "The queen is still not sleeping at this time?"

"Your Majesty can't sleep, and neither can my concubines."

The queen brought the soup to Chongzhen and said, "Your Majesty, let's have a bowl of soup."

Chongzhen frowned slightly when he heard the words: "Didn't I already issue an order to stop the night food in the palace?"

The queen said, "I know."

"I know you still bring me soup, take it away, I won't drink it."

"Your Majesty~"

"Empress, don't you understand? Our family in the palace has a big business. Everyone eats a snack, which costs a lot of money. But if we all save one bite, the soldiers on the front line can eat an extra bite. Don't you understand this truth? "

The queen heard this and looked at the stubborn Chongzhen and the patch on Chongzhen's inner robe, her heart was bleeding. In this BJ city, except you, the emperor, who is so frugal, there is no other civil and military official who can eat better than you This emperor is so bad, others don’t know, but his father, Zhou Guozhang, still has [-] dishes every night, and he can eat five or six dishes for supper, and Chongzhen is a dignified emperor, he is not willing to drink a bowl of soup!

How ironic this is, but the queen can't say, that's the head of the country, her own father, the head of the country is like this, and the rest of the adults are no worse than him. It is said that the life of Zhou Yanru, the chief assistant of the cabinet, is better than that of the king of Zhou Nothing less than that, even the queen heard the father-in-law say more than once that Zhou Shoufu's family is the life of a person!
The officials of the whole Ming Dynasty are doing their best, and the emperor saves food and expenses alone. This is a drop in the bucket for the whole Ming Dynasty. What's the use?
The queen's eyes were full of pity, and she said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, this soup is not for the palace, it is the soup made from the tomatoes I personally planted in the back garden, please take a sip."

After hearing this, Chongzhen looked at the glowing red soup in the bowl, took a sip, then looked at the queen and said, "It's really hard for you."

The queen smiled when she heard the words: "Marrying Your Majesty will not be hard for a concubine."

Hearing this, Chongzhen took another sip of the soup, then pulled the queen to sit on his lap, pointed to a memorial on the table and said: "Zhou Shoufu said that this year Hebei will be ripe, and the grain can be increased by [-]%. It met our Daming's urgent need..."

Chongzhen said with a smile. Although the queen was not interested, she still listened with a smile. For a moment, she was enjoying herself, and a smile appeared on the face of the great eunuch Wang Chengen who was standing beside her.

But at this moment, a discordant voice came from outside: "Your Majesty, Lord Yang Sichang of Henan Province is in a hurry!"
