Be the emperor from the postman

Chapter 1042 Hammer Your Back
Everyone is an official of Ming Dynasty to earn money.

But I don't want to earn much money, but lose my life instead.

After going to court, Zhu Youjian cried bitterly to the cabinet ministers:

"I still want to supervise the teacher, so as to fight to the death, even if I die on the battlefield", the ministers scrambled to be the first to go out on behalf of the emperor, and no one proposed to move south.

Chongzhen had no choice but to shelve the southward move.

The ministers pinned their hopes on Li Jiantai, who had already set off for the expedition, but what was waiting was Li Jiantai's memorial requesting to move south.

Li Mingrui immediately seized the opportunity to write to the emperor, agreeing with Li Jiantai's idea.

But a group of civil servants and censors were all blown up.

They said that Er Li was simply a sinner of Ming Dynasty, and he was determined not to move the capital.

Don't you see that after the Song Dynasty moved its capital, the emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty was fatuous and innocent, and could only be destroyed. The Ming Dynasty must not learn from the Song Dynasty.

Speaking of personal issues from the perspective of the country, Er Li was severely attacked.

Li Jiantai surrendered to the hammer bandit He Jinzhao a long time ago, wasting His Majesty's trust in him, how could such a rotten person replace His Majesty, he should be cut to pieces.

As for Li Mingrui, they seized on the fact that he raised "Four-faced Guanyin" and "Eight-faced Guanyin" at home.

This kind is equivalent to the kind of bodhisattva in the flesh.

Li Mingrui liked to keep prostitutes, but he used them for private use in the bus.

(Later, his "Avalokitesvara" was given to Wu Sangui by borrowing flowers and presenting Buddha)

Yushi and others caught Li Mingrui's misbehavior and so on, and now they are bewitching the king. It is Qin Hui's face at first glance.

Chen Yan opposed the "south move" and signaled to the military department to give Zhongguang Shiheng the matter, severely condemned Li Mingrui, and threatened:

"If you don't kill Li Mingrui, it's not enough to stabilize the hearts of the people. If you don't kill Li Mingrui, how can you rule the world!"

Li Mingrui refused to accept it!
Obviously His Majesty praised moving south, but he was slandered as "heresy", but he could not "breathlessly reveal the secrets between him and the emperor".

You bastards, you don't have the skills to deal with the hammer bandits and the tartars, and you all told the emperor not to run away and wait for death?
Li Mingrui had no choice but to make a tactful defense.

It is not just speculation that the minister advised the emperor to conscript himself.

This is all because the Holy Emperor Mingjun couldn't bear the safety and danger of the world, so he took the risk of committing crimes and took the lead.

Today, the minister's advance is a personal conquest, but all the ministers pretended to move south.

What Li Mingrui meant was that it was like the emperor was captured by a "savage" and he was called Beishou.

Therefore, at this time, His Majesty is definitely not running away, but wants to go south to conquer personally!

Emperor Zhu Youjian of the Ming Dynasty traveled thousands of miles and occupied Nanjing.

He wanted to personally lead the soldiers of the Central Plains to kill Zhang Xianzhong, the thief who dug up the grave of the Ming ancestor, and he definitely did not move south!
Taking a step back, even if His Majesty decides to move south, it is the best strategy today.

In the Tang Dynasty, it moved again and again, and the Song Dynasty moved to Nandu once, and it was handed down to the country for 150 years.

If the Tang and Song Dynasties did not move, how could Lingwu (Li Heng) recover?
How can there be a country that lasted for a hundred years? "

Li Mingrui said clearly and logically that Daming had hope of ZTE only after the southward relocation.

Zhu Youjian also understood in his heart which Li Mingrui and Guang Shiheng were right and wrong, but he was concerned that Guang Shiheng's remonstrance had already caused repercussions in the outer court, so he must take it seriously.

He summoned Guang Shiheng and reprimanded him face-to-face: "Why do you focus on Li Mingrui while bewitching heresies? You are obviously cronies."

Without waiting for Guang Shiheng to argue, he directly decreed: "Guang Shiheng prevented me from going south to conquer personally, so he should have been executed, please forgive me."

After all, moving south is the only option to get out of the precarious situation.

Someone asked the emperor to move south and the prince to supervise Nanjing (that is, to establish a provisional government in Nanjing), which is more convenient?
Li Mingrui replied, the prince is too young to do anything, it is not prestige to obey orders, and it is disrespectful to take orders, it is more convenient than His Majesty.

Li Banghua absorbed Li Mingrui's opinion, and participated in his own ideas, and presented a secret memorial to the emperor, and put forward an emergency plan for the critical situation of "river breaking and fish rotten" in Ming Dynasty.

"Send the crown prince Fujun to accompany Beijing (Nanjing), call on the southeast, and plan to destroy the thieves together."

Chongzhen read Li Banghua's long memorial and was amazed.

He excitedly put the manuscript in his sleeve and walked around the hall, so that the paper of the manuscript was crumpled into tatters.

University scholar Fan Jingwen, Du Yushi Li Banghua, and Shao Zhan Shiyu requested to escort the prince to Fujun Jiangnan first, but was strongly opposed by Shizhong Guang Shiheng:
"The crown prince is going south, what do the ministers intend to do?

Do you want to be the story of Tang Suzong Lingwu? "

The so-called Lingwu story is that during the Anshi Rebellion, Tang Xuanzong fled to Chengdu. The eunuch hijacked Prince Li Heng to Lingwu, was embraced as emperor (that is, Tang Suzong), and Xuanzong was respected as the Supreme Emperor.

Now Guang Shiheng quoted this allusion, intending to accuse the minister who advocated that the prince should go south for the suspicion of supporting the prince to evade the emperor.

When the big hat was buttoned down, Fan Jingwen and other ministers were speechless in fright.

Chongzhen broke the silence and asked the ministers what strategy they had for fighting, but the ministers were silent and had nothing to say.

After all, I don't have a solution, but what can you do, I'm the first to jump out and object!

In the midst of silence, the emperor and many ministers received a message from the supervisor Wu Sheng that he and the hammer bandit He Jinchao were fighting in Henan.

He Jinchao personally led the troops south to Huguang.

What a fart to move south!
Fortunately, there was no southward move, otherwise the emperor would have become He Jinchao's captive before arriving in Nanjing.

It's true that I sent myself up one by one.

He Jinchao immediately hammered away Chongzhen's escape route, telling you to stay in the capital honestly.

Everyone thought that He Jinzhao would send troops to Shanxi to attack the capital first, from north to south.

As a result, He Jinzhao did not come to the capital, but went directly south to Huguang, hoping to capture Nanjing!

Who could have predicted that the little postman would make such a plan in advance?

There is no one in the Manchu Dynasty.

For a while, the whole hall was full of people, and no one spoke.

As a matter of fact, people with lofty ideals in Ming Dynasty had already discussed about He Jinzhao, the hammer bandit in the Northwest.

Many officials from Shanshan, Sichuan and Sichuan urged the cabinet ministers to find a way.

But Zhou Yanru said what can be done?

He Jinzhao took it and took it, Daming can only give up now!

Just like losing the battle against Houjin, you can only give up Liaodong and other lands.

But there is the Great Wall in Liaodong, which is still a pain in the skin.

But giving up the land of Shanshan and Shaanxi means giving up the nine borders, giving up Henan, giving up the Central Plains, and allowing a rebellious state within a state to exist.

Is this the pain in the heart?

If it continues to develop, what will it mean to Daming?

Of course it means death.

This ominous sense of imminent national subjugation spread quietly among the courtiers.

Officials still dare not point it out openly, nor are they willing to admit that the catastrophe of national ruin and family destruction is just around the corner.

But many officials could feel the thick and sinister cloud hanging over the Ming Empire.

All were caused by a small postman.

None of them felt that the emperor's abolishment of the station, what fault could have caused the current consequences!

Then suddenly the cabinet minister He Fengsheng burst into tears and didn't speak.

He just knelt on the ground and kowtowed dozens of times, and the sound of crying shook the palace.

Chongzhen and other ministers were all baffled by his crying, and at the same time, they were also infected with sadness for some reason.

Everyone couldn't help but also wiped away their tears, and finally developed into a chorus of monarchs and ministers weeping collectively.

The scene was magnificent.

I didn't remember until I had cried enough, many courtiers didn't know why they were crying.

It's probably because someone else is crying, so I have to buy and sell energy to perform.

Otherwise, how can I demonstrate my loyalty?
Chongzhen was desperate.

Whitewashing the southward migration as the southern expedition is of no use at all.

Because He Jinzhao didn't come to attack Beijing, but rushed to Nanjing.

Yang Sichang, who had always wanted to plan hard to move south and leave the northern division to the rest of the forces, who contributed to the situation where the hammer bandits and the Qing army Tartars fought each other, also fell ill.

Chongzhen also suffered from fever because of his anxiety.

But he said that after He Jinchao led the troops into Henan, he had not yet met the Ming army with Wu San as the supervisor.

Everywhere is a scene of "vigorous vitality, everything is bursting out".

Hammer bandit soldiers walked through many villages in Henan without seeing a single person.

These people had already run away to join the hammer bandits, or were harmed by the officers and soldiers, or they went directly to join the King Chuang to get food, in order to survive in the world.

The hungry people in Henan moved upon hearing the news and did not go with the officers and soldiers at all.

Casting thieves is better than helping officers and soldiers!
Who wants to die?
Thousands of pioneers of the hammer bandits dug dry toilets in the camp selected earlier.

The shit of tens of thousands of people is really too much.

The toilets are also very simple, one row after another, horizontal and vertical, and there is nothing to cover them.

This is also very normal practice.

In the past, during the military parade in Beijing, simple dry toilets were dug beside the street without any shelter.

Now they are all covered with iron plates, and there are still a lot of residues.

He Jinzhao just arranged people into a long snake formation, divided into three thousand people.

In addition to defending against the enemy, the vanguard is also responsible for repairing bridges and roads, setting up camps, and supporting the rear army.

Gao Yigong acted as a vanguard with a scale of more than a thousand people, selected the location of the camp, and made a plan.

Because He Jinzhao didn't want to show off, he didn't reveal the flag of the Hammer Bandit when he entered Henan this time, and wanted to quickly cross the border of Henan and invade Huguang.

But Gao Yigong's group of people was detected by Gao Jie.

After Gao Jie surrendered to Hong Chengchou, his relationship with Bai Guangen was not very good, because everyone was a traitor, they were very introverted, and they all wanted to prove themselves.

After all, everyone has never worn shoes before.

Once they wear the shoes, they will cherish them very much and will not let the shoes on their feet disappear.

Shoes are to distinguish the identity of mud legs.

Because muddy legs can't afford new shoes.

But because Bai Guangen's son was defeated and surrendered to the hammer bandits, Bai Guangen pretended that he didn't have this son, and he didn't reply to the surrender letter written by his son at all, so he was deeply "liked" by Hong Chengchou.

After all, this is a person who betrayed his own class and never looked back, and it is designated as a good knife.

As a murderous maniac, Hong Chengchou would not regard this kind of person as his own class.

Therefore, Gao Jie failed in the competition for favor, and he was just a guerrilla general, not as big as Bai Guangen.

In addition, Gao Jie is also a cruel character, and has never obeyed discipline.

But the Ming court believed that Gao Jie was someone Li Zicheng hated, so he was used against Li Zicheng.

After all, the hatred of taking one's wife is irreconcilable.

Not to mention that the two were still good brothers and fellow countrymen before!
Then this hatred is even greater.

But I have to say that Gao Jie abducted Li Zicheng's daughter-in-law, Mrs. Xing, and the two still really love each other.

At present Gao Jie has Mrs. Xing as his wife and has given birth to a son.

For Gao Jie, it's me, Nima, who loves my sister-in-law, what the hell!
It is not his nephew Li Benshen who is helping him in the army now.

(Later, Li Benshen became Wu Sangui's general, participated in the San Francisco Rebellion, and was killed by Kangxi)

In essence, she is still Mrs. Xing.

Gao Jie is really a fan of his wife.

He always said to the outside world that his wife has the style of a general, and her intelligence is more than her appearance.

Moreover, after Gao Jie himself left Hong Chengchou, he became rebellious.

Alone is obedient to his daughter-in-law, and he doesn't dislike others laughing at him, but is proud of it.

It was not until Wu Rai, the governor of the Ming Dynasty, arrived in Nanyang that Gao Jie was promoted to deputy commander in chief, and he and Lu were asked to act as the vanguard against Li Zicheng.

Gao Jie got the news that the intruders have a small group of troops who are renovating the camp, fearing that they will attack Nanyang again.

With the sudden dispatch of the hammer bandits, neither the intruders nor the Ming army received the news in advance.

So Gao Jie regarded the Hammer bandits' team as a team of intruders.

In the whole of Henan, only Li Zicheng became bigger and bigger, and the rest of the small groups of thieves also defected to the intruders.

"Supervisor, that's the news."

"More than a thousand people?"

"I must have received news that the supervisor is coming to Nanyang to attack here!" Zheng Jiadong said firmly.

"It's better to attack first, and then you will suffer." Gao Jie immediately called for the battle: "Our army should have made plans earlier."

Wu Sheng brought the Beijing camp to rescue Kaifeng, but Wang Qiaonian died, Hou Xun was imprisoned, and then he became a supervisor.

But the officers and soldiers of the Beijing camp are even more corrupt and incompetent, they are good at stealing money, and they are afraid that they will run fast when fighting bandits.

Coupled with Li Zicheng's repeated defeats of the official army in Henan, the few Qin soldiers who were originally there either died or surrendered to Li Zicheng.

Hong Chengchou brought all the elite Qin soldiers left in the imperial court to the Songjin battlefield, which made Wu Rabbit applaud and sigh.

Then He Jinzhao had too many soldiers from the Qin people under his command. Once this kind of people rolled up a hundred thousand Qin soldiers, they might be able to sweep the world.

Gao Jie had Qin Bing, a long-standing traitor, under his command, which gave Wu Lu some confidence.

However, the new recruits under him lacked training, so it was still not appropriate to move lightly.

At this time, Wu Sheng's supervising army was Su Jing, and he was also quite uncomfortable.

He wanted to repay the imperial court and help Wu Rai, but he couldn't dispatch troops, and couldn't get food.

Wu Lu had seen the fighting power of the hammer bandits before, so facing the arrogant soldiers under his hands, he wanted to train tens of thousands of soldiers and pay millions.

Chongzhen was very dissatisfied with this, but basically agreed with his approach.

The military salary needs to be prepared on the spot, and it is unsafe to transport the imperial court's salary to Henan without even thinking about it.

Facing Gao Jie's invitation to fight now, Wu Sheng stroked his beard and said, "Will the general plan come out?"

According to his estimates, Li Zicheng now has tens of thousands of horsemen and elite old thieves around 10. Now that he has sent a small group of troops, he didn't know that he didn't come fishing on purpose!

Therefore, Wu Raw's plan was not to send troops for the time being, but to stick to Nanyang City. Only in this way can the strength of the officers and soldiers be brought into play.

Judging from the performance of the three major Kaifeng burglars, who can only dig up the Yellow River and rely on flooding, it is really that the ability to attack the city is not strong.

Gao Jie had a strong mocking look on his face: "Master Supervisor, the last general has a plan to lure the enemy. I guess Li Zicheng must be fooled!"
