Be the emperor from the postman

The hammer bandits sent off cannons, and Hejin became angry.

The officers and soldiers fled, and the hammer bandits put out the fire.

Almost all the official troops in Shanxi were withdrawn.

After He Jinchao gained a firm foothold in Jinnan, he immediately sent troops eastward to Lu'an Mansion, preparing to take down King Shen.

King Shen said he was King Shen, but he was still the prince of Shen and did not inherit the title.

Zhu Xiaoyong was named Shen Shizi in the 13th year of Wanli. It is reasonable for his father to become a nobleman once the three-year mourning period is over.

But Zhu Xiaoyong has been Shen Shizi for nearly 50 years, but he has not been rectified by the court.

His father passed away at the time of the apocalypse. At that time, Liaodong and the Jurchen Tartars were defeated miserably, the Mongols were still fighting, the chieftain of Guizhou, An Bangyan, rebelled, and there was an earthquake in Shaanxi and other places.

Therefore, the imperial court had to take a back seat to the burial of vassal kings and the succession of nobles, which cost money.

With this lagging behavior, Shen Shizi never attacked the noble in the fifth year of Chongzhen.

After He Jinzhao arrived at Lu'an Mansion, many people pleaded for King Shen.

Shen Wang's lineage is inherited by virtue and filial piety, and the constraints on the clan are extremely strict, and he belongs to the "virtuous king" of the court.

It is true that he subsidized the soldiers' salaries and helped the people of Lu'an Mansion.

"I've also heard from the weavers in Lu'an Mansion before that King Shen doesn't treat them very harshly."

He Jinzhao stood outside Changzhi City, looking into the city with a binoculars.

Brother Gao and others led the army to besiege Changzhi. They fired artillery and set fire to it, which turned the brick-packed city wall black.

"Lu'an Mansion is full of weavers, there are a lot of mulberry trees, and Lu silk is famous all over the world." Zhang Fuzhen squeezed his beard and said with a smile: "As the Marshal said, they are all skilled workers. If the landlord wants to snatch it, he can't snatch it from King Shen. "

He Jinzhao nodded slightly, which meant that capitalism was sprouting.

"Send someone to ask if he is willing to surrender. In view of his good reputation, I will not kill him. If you resist to the end, don't blame me for being too sharp."

Dai Junen on the city wall received the letter from the hammer bandits, and saw the general cannon spread out outside the city, his expression was extremely ugly.

The news that the hammer bandits had won the official army had already spread throughout Shanxi, and he also received the news.

Shen Shizi gave Kang generously before and paid the soldiers who defended the city, and Gao Chuangze and others had little experience in siege.

The hammer bandits won the field battle, but can the siege also work?
But the Hammer bandits continued to besiege directly according to the trench dug by the bandits last year. Once the artillery was fired, as long as the city wall was blown down, who could stop it?
Shen Shizi Zhu Xiaoyong is very old, looking at the letter written by the hammer bandit He Jinzhao, he looks quite lonely.

"Maybe hold?"

Dai Junen immediately cupped his hands and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Shen, with me here, I will never let King Shen fall into the hands of thieves."

"How long can you keep it?"

Dai Junen fell silent for a moment, and the artillery of the hammer bandits bombarded Cao Wenzhao's army without any power to fight back.

Even though he has a city wall to stop him, he is still not sure, so he can only desperately protect Shen Shizi.

Shen Shizi Zhu Xiaoyong understood, and didn't make things difficult for him, he stood up and patted his shoulder:

"I'm old and weak, and I can't run fast at all. I have long heard that the hammer bandit He Jinzhao is a man who keeps his word. He said he won't kill me, and he will not kill me. You took my son-in-law and his family from secret Daoli ran back to the capital overnight, begging His Majesty to take him in."

"How is this possible?"

"Just as if you were doing me this favor and leaving overnight, I will open the door and surrender tomorrow morning."

Dai Jun'en, the military guard, also understood the situation, and he did not refuse. He led his soldiers to protect Shen Shizi's eldest son's family and slipped away from the secret road.

the next day.

Shen Shizi Zhu Xiaoyong opened up Changzhi County and took a group of county kings and his descendants to surrender.

Looking around, a dense group of people were all from the clan of Shen Wangfan.

"Shanxi vassal princes have the most clans, which really opened my eyes."

He Jinzhao was not in a hurry to help the obese Shizi Shen in front of him. It was foreseeable that he would never have a chance to be promoted to the throne in his life.

"Staff Zhang, you deal with these people and let them feel our army's policy. In short, you don't raise idlers, let alone pigs."

"Yes."

Zhang Fuzhen slightly bowed his hands aside, King Shen's lineage was not like King Jin's crimes, the punishment was heavy, and he would not get the support of the weavers around him, at least he had to maintain stability for a while before making drastic rectifications.

Inside the Imperial City of Beijing.

Chongzhen was reviewing work as usual, the Dengzhou rebellion was already under control, and the Ming army was attacking Dengzhou City fiercely, everything was moving in a positive direction.

As a result, the internal official Chen Dakui sent someone to send an urgent battle report.

Chongzhen couldn't sit still.

Cao Wenzhao underestimated the enemy and divided his troops to rush forward, but was ambushed by the hammer bandit He Jinchao. He was beaten and fled, losing all the previously recovered land.

Not only that, the officers and soldiers were not only unable to fight anymore, but also abandoned a large amount of food, grass and military equipment on the east bank in order to escape.

Peng.

Chongzhen patted Yu'an heavily.

Earlier, there was good news from the battlefield in the west, and then bad news came from the sudden outbreak of rebellion in the east.

Now some good news has just come from the eastern battlefield, but the western battlefield has directly lost extremely tragically.

In this way, a full 10 horses were lost at the hands of the hammer bandit He Jinzhao?

"How did Cao Wenzhao fight this battle?"

Chongzhen stood up and walked around angrily, several cabinet ministers all raised their heads.

However, the rumors in the cabinet are quarreling with each other, and it has entered the second round. The first assistant and the second assistant all refused to answer Chongzhen's words, so as not to give up the truth.

Xiong Mingyu, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, had not received the news from Hong Chengchou, but he was shocked when he heard that Cao Wenzhao was defeated.

"Your Majesty, what happened?"

"Come here, show him."

Naturally, a personal eunuch brought the letter to Xiong Mingyu.

It wasn't until he took a quick look at it that he calmed down. Needless to say, this was definitely a slander.

The middle officials, who are named Superintendents, are actually taking the opportunity to make money. Maybe Cao Wenzhao didn't turn his head around and didn't know how to be filial, which made people seize the opportunity and suffer a lot.

Xiong Mingyu didn't believe that all the 10 people in the imperial court were destroyed by He Jinzhao alone.

Even though the three sides have a lot of troops on paper, it is still a matter of whether there are [-] officers and troops in reality!
Your Majesty doesn't even think about it, the imperial court has never issued salaries and rewards, how can there be 10 people going through life and death for you?
There are really 10 horses, and Hong Chengchou has already killed all the thieves in Shanxi and Pingdi, and he has to strangle all the thieves in Henan!

Even the most elite Liaodong soldiers, there are many generals who are empty-paid, let alone the three sides.

This kind of thing, as the chief officer of the Ministry of War, can you not know?
"Your Majesty, if you listen to one side, you will be dark, and if you listen to both, you will be clear." Xiong Mingyu reorganized the letter and handed it to the chief assistant:

"We still have to wait for the report from the trilateral governor Hong Chengchou before we can draw a conclusion!"

Chongzhen snorted, and shook his sleeves heavily.

Recently, in the court, there has been a lot of noise about "inner ministers exceeding their duties".

Saying that the emperor let his ministers lightly discuss the affairs of the government will cause endless misfortunes, and it will be true for all ages.

Such words made Chongzhen, who valued his own feathers, very unhappy!
