Daming: I, the emperor who trains the carpenter

Chapter 884, I am not the king of the subjugated country, all the ministers are the subjugated ministers!
"Put our red flag in Jin and Yu!"

"Okay, okay!"

In Fengxiang Mansion, in front of all the towns and associations, Shi Kefa laughed heartily: "The words of the chief assistant have completely reassured our hearts."

Qi Yuangong also said: "Yeah, we are still entangled in the gains and losses of the three Shaanxi areas. The old man of the chief assistant has already seen the entire Central Plains. Governor, we have a goal now."

Shi Kefa looked at the generals, with a proud face: "Shoufu once said that one hundred thousand flags would kill Yama, just as Shoufu said, we have a hundred thousand troops at our command, so in this world, what ghosts and monsters are there to be afraid of?"

"We have to be more generous in our work, and the center supports us with food, but there are so many people in Sanshaan, how many days can we last with the support of the center alone?"

"It's really going to go out."

Hearing Shi Kefa's words, the generals of several towns were ready to move, and soon someone asked: "The governor, how should Yan'an Mansion deal with it?"

Yes, the Northwest army is going to fight out, but Yan'an Mansion still has [-] to [-] soldiers from the Ming court, as well as Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, Gao Yingxiang and other anti-king coalition forces.

Ever since Shi Kefa appeared in Sanshan and Datong Society announced its strong return, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, and Gao Yingxiang's forces fell apart, and most of the troops were out of their control.

The few people who were unwilling to take refuge in the Datong Society united in order to protect themselves, and called on other anti-kings to share weal and woe together. The other anti-kings poured into Yan'an Mansion in order to avoid the army of Datong Society and also for the future, and finally squeezed into Yan'an Mansion. The Eighteenth Route Anti-King Coalition Army.

These anti-kings are all used to living the life of masters. They were vagrants and bandits before. Since they pulled up the flag to rebel, they all travel with chariots and horses, hugging each other, living in luxurious big houses, and There is endless gold and silver, as well as beauties and wine.

Such an unfettered life is so happy, if it is defeated by the Datong Society or by the imperial army, then the days of being a master will become a prisoner in an instant.

Therefore, in order to keep their own good life, these anti-kings had to unite to form a deterrent.

I have to say that the 10,000th Route Anti-Kings gathered together, with a total of [-]+ people, the momentum is indeed very large.

In addition, there are not only them in Yan'an Mansion, but also Hong Chengchou's army. For a while, neither Shi Kefa nor Hong Chengchou attacked these anti-kings easily, but recruited them more.

Shi Kefa is still digesting the various prefectures in Gansu and Shaanxi, and rectifying the localities, while Hong Chengchou is simply afraid of Shi Kefa's army and wants to find himself cannon fodder.

Faced with the competition between Datongshe and the Ming court, the eighteenth-way anti-king suddenly felt that he was now a person, and began to sit on the ground to raise prices, and the anxiety and worry that had been terrified at the beginning disappeared. The look is back.

Although these people are mobs, if 10,000+ mobs gather together, they are no ordinary mobs.

After all, there are 10,000+ pigs, and it will take you several days to catch them.

Therefore, Shi Kefa has never paid any attention to these people. Now there is a clear order from the center of the Datong Society. The co-op wants to call out.

Shi Kefa's gaze also moved to Yan'an Mansion again.

The area of ​​Yan'an Mansion is very large, with three prefectures and sixteen counties, if it were not such a large place, it would not be able to squeeze the army of the Eighteenth Route against the king and Hong Chengchou.

Staring at the map on the desktop, Shi Kefa said slowly: "In Yan'an Prefecture, there are three prefectures and sixteen counties. Hong Chengchou's power is not weak. He now occupies five counties in Yan'an Prefecture. He can enter Fushi and return to Pingyang. "

"Don't worry about Hong Chengchou's officers and soldiers. Write a letter to the [-]th Route Anti-King. The governor will give them another chance. If they surrender now, the governor will still keep them rich. There are plenty of places in Bendu’s army to put them in. But if you insist on being obsessed and prevent our Datong Society from recovering the rivers and mountains, then wait to be crushed to pieces.”

Shi Kefa's letter was delivered to the table of the Eighteenth Route Against the King, and Hong Chengchou's letter was also delivered.

In Fushi City, the Eighteenth Route Anti-kings looked at each other in blank dismay. Whether it was Shi Kefa or Hong Chengchou, their letters seemed to be appeasement, but they were threatening both in the open and in the dark, but their family members also knew their own affairs. Hong Chengchou's fights are sure to be defeated. They lack enough heavy weapons, and the soldiers' morale is low like a bereaved dog. How can they fight against the armies of both sides?

"Guys, let's make up an idea, whether it's fighting or running, there must be an explanation." An anti-king couldn't help but say.

"Fight? Run? Who can you fight with, and where can you go if you run?" Zhang Xianzhong sneered.

The anti-king was instantly dissatisfied. Before you, Zhang Xianzhong, was the leader of the Eighteenth Road Anti-king, and you had countless elites. But now you, Zhang Xianzhong, only have these 3 people left, and I have more than 1 brothers. Why do you still look down on people like this?

Li Zicheng looked at the hall that was about to quarrel again, and felt physically and mentally exhausted for a while. With these idiots, how could he succeed in raising the flag and rebelling?

"Okay, okay! Stop arguing! If we don't unite now, we will be eaten up by those two families!" Li Zicheng patted the table dissatisfied.

Looking at the quiet people, Li Zicheng said: "It's definitely not easy to fight, but it's not like we have no chance at all. Go to Shanxi, we are so suspicious, and then go to Shanxi, I don't believe in the development. stand up!"

Zhang Xianzhong snorted coldly: "I want you to go to Shanxi, and I will go to Henan!"

Obviously, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong still couldn't urinate in the same pot.

But the two big anti-kings gave their goals, and the rest of the anti-kings were also playing small games in their hearts, and soon these anti-kings discussed their way out.

On October 28th of the sixth year of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, Gao Yingxiang and other anti-king troops from the Sanshan Eighteenth Route gathered heavy troops to fight against Hong Chengchou of Ganquan.

The two sides added up to more than 20 troops fighting on the front line of Fulushui. Although Hong Chengchou was weak in strength, he had fine cavalry, many firearms and heavy artillery. It is said that the rebel army fled in embarrassment after being beaten by Hong Chengchou, with heavy casualties, and Fu Lushui was directly dyed red.

This battle seemed to be won by Hong Chengchou, but most of the Eighteenth Route Anti-kings fled to Shanxi and Henan. It is a little unclear whether Hong Chengchou won or lost this time.

Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong fled to Shanxi and Henan respectively, and began to attack cities and villages on the spot, recruiting soldiers and buying horses, gathering refugees and strong beams, and developed rapidly in Shanxi and Henan.

Originally, the life of the people in the Central Plains is not as good as the next day, and the number of people whose families are broken up and displaced is unknown. Who of you is not holding a breath in your heart?
Now that Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong have successfully transferred in, they immediately gave the people a new idea: since the imperial court won't let us live, then we don't plan to let the imperial court live!
Soon Shanxi and Henan were in a mess, and the guards of these two provinces hurriedly assembled to resist the advance of Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong. For a while, the entire Central Plains was full of flames of war.

Facing the fire in the backyard, even though Hong Chengchou defeated the [-]th Route Anti-king and could occupy the entire Yan'an Mansion, Hong Chengchou still had to withdraw from Shaanxi and lead the main force back to Shanxi to put out the fire.

But Shi Kefa laughed happily. Without a single soldier, he forced the Eighteenth Route Anti-kings and Hong Chengchou to fight each other, and now he has driven these anti-kings to Shanxi and Henan, the hinterland of the Central Plains, and let these anti-kings How could he not be happy to be Wang Pioneer again?

Shi Kefa was beaming, and someone was about to get angry.

The angry person is Zhu Youjian, the Chongzhen Emperor of Ming Dynasty, the most powerful and powerful person in Ming Dynasty.

There is a reason for Chongzhen to be angry. He placed great hopes on Hong Chengchou, hoping that Hong Chengchou could defeat the rebellious peasant army, and prove to the world that the imperial court can still fight, and that the imperial court is still a well-deserved imperial court. of.

As far as this point is concerned, Hong Chengchou actually fought pretty well. He defeated Li Zicheng twice, and even defeated the Eighteenth Route Anti-king coalition forces in the first battle.

It seems that Hong Chengchou has perfectly completed the task entrusted to him by Chongzhen, but in fact?

These bandits and rebels have all come to Shanxi and Henan, and they are getting closer to Zhili. The whole northern country is now full of wars, and the people of the world are panicking.

What's more, the war in Sanshan was the first battle between the imperial court and the Datong Society. He was kicked out of Shaanxi again without seeing it. How should people in this world view the imperial court?

What prestige does the imperial court have?

So Chongzhen had reason to be angry.

In the Wuying Hall, all the civil and military officials of the Chongzhen Dynasty knelt on the ground. The Chongzhen Emperor Zhu You paced back and forth to test his anger. The violent chest heaving made people worry whether the Chongzhen Dynasty would directly explode in the next moment.

"Trash! It's all trash!"

"What's going on in Shanxi and Henan? Don't the officials in the two provinces have any preparations for facing bandits and rebels?"

"A few fleeing bandits in the area caused wars in Shanxi and Henan. The people were panicked, and the gentry fled one after another. What's the use of such an official?!"

Chongzhen's anger is substantive. He has received the battle report from Hong Chengchou. Hong Chengchou directly showed his results, telling Emperor Chongzhen that he has tried his best. It was smashed, it was a few small groups of rogues who took the opportunity to escape to Shanxi and Henan. He was already planning to conquer Shaanxi, but he didn't expect the fire in the back, so he had no choice but to return to Shanxi to quell the chaos. Sorry for His Majesty the Emperor.

Looking at Hong Chengchou's military report, Chongzhen felt that the evil fire was constantly rising. Hong Chengchou's military report was very detailed and well-founded, while the urgent reports from Shanxi and Henan were vague and unclear, obviously there was something hidden in it.

Chongzhen thought again and again, Hong Chengchou had indeed won a big victory, and the Eighteenth Route Anti-king had definitely been defeated. It should be that the officials in Shanxi and Henan did not do enough to suppress the bandits, which made the bandits grow bigger again.

As soon as he thought of this, Chongzhen wanted to dismiss the Governor of Henan and the Governor of Shanxi.

But before Chongzhen could speak, someone took the lead to say: "Your Majesty, the governors of Henan and Shanxi are ineffective in suppressing the bandits, and they sit back and watch the bandits grow stronger. .”

As soon as these words came out, the Hall of Martial Heroes instantly exploded.

Whether it's the governor of Shanxi or the governor of Henan, the reason why they can hold this position is that they don't have many helpers in the court, and who is not an important figure in a big force?

There was no new party in the court of the Chongzhen Dynasty, but only the Donglin Party. They were the gentlemen of the Manchu dynasty.

There are so many honest gentlemen, honest and loyal ministers, everyone is naturally divided into factions, such as Wen Tiren's faction, such as Yang Sichang's faction, such as Shi Fenglai's faction, and also such as Jin Party, Huai Party, Zhejiang Party, and Chu Party
It can be said that there are many factions and frequent party disputes.

Now that someone opened fire on the two families at once, they would naturally be unhappy.

Soon there was a commotion in the Hall of Martial Heroes. These court officials took great pains for their own interests and the development of the township party.

Full court dignitaries, a palace of beasts, these important ministers who used to be afraid of tiring themselves when they said a word, and had to be done by others, now they all come off in person, pointing at the opposite nose and starting to spit. They even pulled each other's official robes and hair, turning a good court meeting into a fight between gangsters in the vegetable market.

Chongzhen looked helplessly at the noisy group of officials, he felt even more tired, and even wondered if he took over the throne from his elder brother when he took over a mess.

During the Tianqi Dynasty, who were not diligent and conscientious, and who would dare to lose their dignity in front of the emperor?

At that time, all the officials performed their duties, how well each one performed, and the local officials were also diligent and caring for the people. How could there be any rebellion?
But why did these officials change in his Chongzhen Dynasty?
Have they changed, or have they revealed their true nature?

Chongzhen didn't know, but seeing these officials arguing with each other and even fighting each other, Chongzhen only felt upset.

What is the state of Ming Dynasty now? The entire Central Plains is full of wars and wars. Seeing that without the help of the Datong Society, these bandits and rebels are about to attack Zhili. These guys who claim to be capable ministers are still here. Do you care about the life and death of the Ming Dynasty?

Sun Chengzong watched silently in the Hall of Martial Arts, he was neither sad nor happy, he was used to this kind of situation.

Thinking back to the time of the Tianqi Dynasty, the Ming emperor was in power, the court was full of powerful officials, Zhang Haogu was the chief assistant prime minister, and the new party officials spread all over the world, implementing new policies and new laws, making Ming a new look.

With Zhang Haogu sitting at the center, where did the courtiers make trouble?
Who is not doing his duty, diligent and conscientious.

But when these people urged Emperor Chongzhen to abolish the new policies and laws, and drove away Zhang Haogu and the New Party, what was the situation of the court?
Ah, no one is supervising them, controlling them, and no one can restrain them, so they all let themselves go, without any scruples.

"The miasma, the miasma!" Sun Chengzong looked at these so-called upright gentlemen and couldn't help shaking his head and sighing.

Can the future of Ming Dynasty and the heavy burden of the imperial court be entrusted to these people with confidence?

What do they want to govern Daming like? !
"Traitors, traitors, you were begging for mercy under that thief in the previous court, and now you dare to call yourself a loyal and upright minister. It's shameless! The situation in the court is broken by people like you!"

"Speak clearly! Who is in the wrong hands of the imperial court? The old man is begging for mercy under Zhang thief, what about you? Who is kneeling in front of the new party thieves and begging them to give them a chance? Have the face to say old man, you shameless old man, what is the dog's name!"

"Old thief! If you hadn't obstructed the Ganshan situation back then, the imperial court would have provided disaster relief long ago. How could there be the current corrupt situation? The Ganshan chaos was caused by you alone. How dare you stand in this Hall of Martial Heroes? !"

"Shut up! If it wasn't for you making trouble, how could the Central Plains be full of flames? You traitors, dare to frame Zhongliang!"

"You are a traitor, you are Zhang Haogu's lackey!"

"You are a traitor, Zhang Haogu appointed you to kill me and Zhongliang!"

"Back when Zhang Haogu persecuted Zhongliang wantonly, you were that lackey!"

"You are a traitor!"

"You're a lackey!"

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were clamoring, Chongzhen listened, suddenly wanted to laugh, but also wanted to cry.

He diligently reviewed the memorials and dealt with government affairs every day, wouldn't that day be late at night?
He only slept for less than two hours a day, and every day he was either reviewing memorials or dealing with important military and political affairs, and questioning government officials.

But what about these ministers?
If they were really diligent, how could they be so demeanor?
What are these ministers doing when I am busy with government affairs every day?
Drinking and having fun?Recite poems and make right?A prostitute cruise?make a sightseeing tour?
Chongzhen felt that he was extremely tired and wronged. His ancestors entrusted him with the country and the country, and he never wanted to reproduce the glory of his ancestors, manage the country of Daming well, and clean up the chaos of the previous dynasty.

But before he could set things right, the Ming Dynasty was already in serious trouble.

Is it his fault?
How hard he is, can't the world see it?

This is obviously a remnant of the previous dynasty, a scourge left by the previous dynasty, coupled with the deception of the officials of this dynasty, who have done nothing, what does it have to do with him, the emperor?

He is the most innocent!

At this moment, Chongzhen just wants to look up to the sky and sigh, why is the sky so weak to me? !

"Hehe, hehe, hahahahahaha!"

Desolate laughter resounded in the hall, all the officials were arguing fiercely, wondering who was laughing, turned around and saw that it was Chongzhen!
Now the ministers panicked, stopped pulling each other's hair and beards, and those who spit at each other calmed down, one by one hurriedly straightened their clothes and knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for your disgrace! "

"Forgive, forgive, how can I not forgive. The ministers of the court and my confidants are all like this, so what can I do?" Chongzhen smiled desolately, with a sad and resentful expression.

"I finally understand that the Ming Dynasty has reached its current state, and I can only blame others, but myself. It is my fault."

All the officials became even more panicked. They knelt on the ground and did not dare to lift their heads, shouting, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for dereliction of duty!"

"That's all, that's it, I'm tired."

Chongzhen didn't pay any attention to the officials, he got up and staggered to the back. After going through this scene, he was physically and mentally exhausted, he didn't want to think about it anymore, he was tired.
