Iron blood Suiming

First, the Jinan Mansion fell into the hands of Lingshanwei within half a day, then the 5000 troops fed Hai Wang Ba at sea, and after the Ming army lost [-] people on the land, they fled to Zhucheng in a panic.Now all the goals have not been achieved. Instead, he lost his wife and lost his army. Once the news came, how could Chongzhen not be so angry?

He didn't dare to trouble Empress Yi'an, so he could only go to the Queen's Palace to accuse Sang and scold Huai.Empress Zhou was scolded for a while, but she felt very comfortable in her heart. She knew that Empress Yi'an knew very well who Emperor Chongzhen was scolding. She bowed her head.

It's a pity that the emperor's sister-in-law didn't come, but she waited for a news that surprised everyone. Empress Yi'an decided to leave the Forbidden City. She was going to Nanjing to offer incense to Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang.

As soon as this news came out, the entire Ming court was dizzy, and no one thought of what Empress Yi'an was going to do.But no one dared to ask, because Empress Yi'an was showing filial piety. Although even a commoner knew that it was definitely not that simple to suddenly sacrifice to a dead emperor more than 200 years ago, but no one could guess it. , This is Empress Yi'an taking revenge on Emperor Chongzhen.

That's right, although Empress Yi'an is the de facto ruler of the harem, she is still a young woman, only 28 years old.She couldn't stand Emperor Chongzhen's scolding, and she couldn't summon the emperor to reprimand her, let alone commit suicide by hanging herself, so she could only use this method to protest.

Sure enough, she sent a memorial to the emperor, which immediately made Emperor Chongzhen dumbfounded.He is not stupid, he knows that this is Empress Yi'an's revenge, but unfortunately, the whole article is full of words that he cannot refute, why in the past 200 years, no one has personally gone to Xiaoling to fulfill his filial piety.Today, the Ming Dynasty is precarious. As a descendant of the Zhu family, I would like to pray to Taizu with this body to protect...

Emperor Chongzhen tried his best to find out the reason for his disagreement, but found that he couldn't even speak, and was blocked by Empress Yi'an.He didn't dare to see her either, so he replied, "I know, the emperor's sister-in-law is very filial. Now that the world is in chaos, I'm going to Nanjing. I'm afraid something bad will happen. When the world is at peace, I will invite the emperor's wife to offer incense and sacrifice." This is already talking softly. After all, as the king of a country, he cannot admit his mistakes in person.Otherwise, where is the majesty?

It is a pity that what Confucius said was too correct. 'But villains and women are difficult to raise'.Ordinarily, the emperor admits your mistake to you, and you will go down the steps.But Empress Yi'an didn't appreciate it, and sent another memorial, which means that the world is not peaceful, so she needs to go to offer incense and sacrifice.In order to ask Taizu to bless, if the emperor does not allow, then she will go to meet Taizu in person to ask for blessings.

This is to threaten Emperor Chongzhen, if you don't let Ai's family go.Aijia will die for you.Emperor Chongzhen jumped like thunder, and killed two young eunuchs who didn't like it on the spot.When he was furious, he immediately wrote eight large characters on the booklet, "Zhun Zuo, set off in three days." '

The memorials were all coming and going in the palace, extremely fast, and the courtiers hadn't recovered from their senses, the imperial edict had already been issued.Empress Yi'an drove to Nanjing three days later to pay homage to Taizu.As soon as the big hat of filial piety came out, none of the courtiers dared to say, Empress Yi'an, don't make trouble for your old man. When is this, who has the time to play with you?

So just prepare.This time, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Households are very busy. First, the Ministry of Rites must send appropriate officials to draw up the etiquette for Empress Yi'an's trip and the residence of the palace along the way, and to inform the Ministry of Rites of Nanjing to draw up the etiquette for offering sacrifices to the Taizu. .

Then there is the Ministry of War, which has to send troops to protect Empress Yi'an. In this year, the world is so chaotic. If someone who is not good-looking dares to do something to Empress Yi'an, there will be troubles, and the courtiers can't afford it. Won't keep them alive.

Finally, the Ministry of Household Affairs had to arrange food, payment and money. Empress Yi'an couldn't go out and beg all the way to Nanjing.It’s a little bit, but it’s really not a little bit. Emperor Chongzhen looked at the 120 million taels of silver payment reported by the Ministry of Households, and his heart trembled in pain. There are too many places to use money, and the revenue of the treasury is too little, so even though he is the emperor, Emperor Chongzhen is very worried about money.

In the end, I was cruel and approved.Three days later, Empress Yi'an drove to Tongzhou, from Tongzhou to Nanjing along the Grand Canal.On land, the Ming army dispatched [-] Yulin soldiers, while on the water, [-] fake sailors who did not know how to swim escorted the boats.

Although Li Jianguo occupied Jinan Mansion, no one thought that his [-] soldiers dared to go out of the city to attack the fleet.Moreover, the Grand Canal does not pass through Jinan, but passes through Dezhou, Linqing and Liaocheng.

Chongzhen also issued an order to order [-] Liaodong cavalry stationed in Dezhou to escort the fleet out of Shandong Province from Dezhou.After getting the ground in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, they will be escorted back to Nanjing by the [-] Ming troops in Zhucheng. Such an arrangement is enough to ensure safety.

None of these arrangements were made with great fanfare. Even when Empress Yi'an left Beijing, the Ming court blocked the news and did not allow it to spread.It's a pity that the so-called blocking of news is simply a joke.Feng Jia has not yet left the palace, and the world has already heard about it.The news was transmitted hundreds of miles a day.

Li Jianguo learned the news only one day earlier than the people in the capital. When he knew, the fleet had just left Tongzhou.

The spies in Beijing came to the Ministry of War to make detailed arrangements, and saw that the Liaodong iron cavalry and the Ming army in Zhucheng had all been requisitioned, as if the province of Shandong had been thrown to Li Kaiguo, and the court didn't care.Li Jianguo shook his head, the Ming court would never let the Jinan Mansion fall into his hands for a long time, and would definitely send a large army to suppress the rebellion.

It's just that most of the imperial court's military power is currently focused on encircling and suppressing the rogues who have entered the Hannan area, and they are powerless against him for a while.Moreover, Li Jianguo had never openly rebelled against the Ming Dynasty, and he always regarded himself as an official of the Ming Dynasty. This gave the Ming court a fig leaf.

Empress Yi'an left the palace to go to Nanjing. Li Jianguo was very angry. The memorial presented by King De had already been placed on Emperor Chongzhen's desk, but it had not been approved for a long time. It was obvious that there was a delay, but Li Jianguo could not let Ming Ting dragged on.He originally wanted to lure [-] Liaodong cavalry and the [-] Ming troops from Zhucheng to attack Jinan, annihilate them under the city of Jinan, and force Chongzhen to issue an order to agree.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Chongzhen actually transferred two troops to protect Empress Yi'an, instead of sending them to die to let him stand up, and made it clear that Li Jianguo would not be allowed to play.

Li Jianguo was furious and immediately summoned the generals.Discuss the kidnapping of Empress Yi'an.When the generals heard what Li Kaiguo said about the purpose of the battle, no one was surprised. Your Excellency always does things that seem impossible, and it's no big deal.As long as you fight according to the adult's will.So the generals immediately echoed loudly, and everyone agreed.

The civil officials headed by Guan Ming proposed to learn from others and become famous.Li Kaiguo chuckled and said, "I want to marry the princess, so is it okay to invite her to a wedding?"

The generals and the civil servants laughed together, and said: "Exactly, invite the queen to have a wedding banquet." Now that the decision has been made, it is necessary to discuss where to do it.How many troops should be dispatched, and how many Ming troops need to be dealt with.

Now it has been preliminarily proven that what needs to be dealt with is 270 Liaodong Iron Cavalry and [-] Royal Forest Army.The soldiers brought the map, and Li Kaiguo and the generals looked at the route map of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal in Shandong.The shortest straight-line distance from Jinan Prefecture is also [-] miles.

The second thousand households looked at the map of the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal in the Shandong area and said: "The route is too far, even the nearest Liaocheng. If the infantry is marching, it must be set off immediately. The boat from Tongzhou to Liaocheng is very fast. It can take up to ten days. Arrive in Liaocheng."

The [-]th household shook his head and said: "No, there are still [-] Ming troops on land, they can't travel day and night, at least [-] days."

The sixth thousand household said: "Let's not make wild guesses, we'd better wait for the report from the scouts before making a decision. The top priority now is that Jinan Prefecture only has [-] soldiers and horses. We are going to invite the queen, at least [-] must be mobilized, and only [-] troops in the city There are [-] soldiers left, if the Ming army suddenly sends troops to attack, can it be stopped?"

The second thousand households said with a smile: "You don't need [-] soldiers, but only [-] soldiers. My lord, the general is willing to lead [-] soldiers and horses to invite the queen back."

The fifth thousand household laughed and said, "Don't brag, there are only [-] soldiers, and it's okay to deal with [-] Liaodong cavalry. Do you think the [-] Imperial Forest Army are straw men? Stand and watch and invite the queen?"

The generals talked to each other, from the beginning of the discussion to the gradual quarrel, and finally blushing and thick necks, all shouting loudly, pulling their arms and staring at their eyes, as if they were about to fight.

The civil servants stood aside, all pointing and pointing while watching a joke.Li Jianguo didn't say a word, let the generals quarrel.It's not that the generals didn't keep their dignity in front of him, but that Li Jianguo had always asked them to do so.Only when there are disputes can we find a solution.If no one said a word, then everyone would do nothing and go back to their respective homes.

After the quarrel, a solution gradually came out.The Lingshan Guards are really short of troops now, and the Ming army still has [-] iron cavalry. If they send infantry to invite the queen, they will probably be eaten up by the Liaodong iron cavalry.Therefore, the Lingshan Guards must send cavalry to go.

The so-called cavalry of the Lingshan Guards are soldiers who can ride horses, not cavalry in the true sense.The horses in Jinan Mansion are not enough at all, so the cavalry must be mobilized from Lingshanwei.There must be at least 5000 soldiers to invite people. Otherwise, if there is any accident, such as reinforcements from the Ming army, a sudden change in the strength of the Ming army, or a sudden change in the queen's phoenix, it will be impossible to respond in time.

Also, the location of the attack cannot be chosen between Dezhou and Liaocheng. The Lingshan Guards can think of doing it at the location closest to Jinan Prefecture, but the Ming army can't think of it?At that time, in Liaocheng, the nearest point, the Ming army will definitely tighten its strings and be on guard against the Lingshan Guards at all times.

Therefore, after the Ming army has tightened its strings, it must be done when it is relaxed.The best location is after Liaocheng, the first resting point of the Ming army.The only reason why we don’t wait for the Liaodong iron cavalry to return is because there will be more than 5 Ming army escorts, which will be more difficult to deal with than [-] iron cavalry, and the Ming court can directly transfer the Ming army in Zhili south to bite Lingshanwei. The army will not let go.

Li Jianguo was very satisfied that the generals had discussed a practical solution, and seeing that the generals started arguing over who should lead the troops, he immediately shouted: "Shut up, all of you."

The generals were frightened by the meal, and immediately acted like a mouse seeing a cat, not daring to speak again.The civil servants also stood in silence, listening to Li Jianguo's orders.

Li Kaiguo shouted: "Since we have discussed a solution, let's talk about the first item first, mobilizing cavalry. Now there are only [-] horses in the Jinan Mansion, which is obviously not enough. My official ordered that Lingshan Guard immediately mobilize [-] horses. Send it to Jinan Mansion within three days." The secretary on the side immediately wrote it down, wrote it down as an order, sent it to Li Kaiguo with his seal, and issued it immediately.

After Li Kaiguo finished printing, he shouted: "The second order is to urgently summon the [-]th household team to Jinan. After the horses arrive, we will set off together." The secretary sent the written order again, and Li Jianguo issued it with printing.

Li Kaiguo looked at the annoyance on the faces of the generals, knowing that they were thinking, fighting back and forth, but was robbed by the thousandth household, so he smiled slightly: "The thousandth household has only five thousand cavalry, and there is only one thousand cavalry left." Ten thousand people, I have to choose two teams of one thousand households, which one of you will go?"

The generals listened.They were all overjoyed and scrambled to say: "I'll go, my lord, I'll go." Li Jianguo was very happy, and all the generals fought for it.It's better than the fear of the generals.

Immediately said: "You all want to go, but there are only two teams of thousands of families who can go. In this way, I am not sure who will go now. Everything depends on whether the strategy you wrote is in line with my intentions. My official Order, anyone who wants to participate in the battle, hand over a strategy to Ben Fu in two days, and Ben Fu will go accordingly."

As soon as the generals heard that they were going to write a strategic decision, they immediately became frowning. Most of them were not very literate.It's just that they can understand the order, and it really kills them to write a strategy.But no one dared to disobey Li Jianguo's order, so he could only respond and step aside.

Li Kaiguo said to the Secretary of the Auxiliary Army who was in charge of food and grass: "Prepare dry food and fodder for 30 cavalry for [-] days and [-] rounds of ammunition. It will be ready within three days. Is there any difficulty?"

The secretary immediately said: "No problem. It's just my lord. The price of food on the market has started to rise. If you buy it in the market, you need to spend [-]% more money. I have to ask your lord to approve some money."

Li Jianguo squinted his eyes and said, "Why, has the price of food increased?"

The secretary of the auxiliary army replied: "Yes, my lord. Now all the grains, rice noodles, oil, salt, sauce, tea and cloth on the market have all increased by [-]%."

Li Jianguo said angrily: "When did the price rise, why did no one come to pay for it?"

Guan Ming hurriedly stepped forward and replied: "My lord, the price increase started yesterday. The officials were too busy with their affairs, so they didn't pay attention yesterday. It wasn't until today that they saw a long queue at the grain store to buy grain, that they knew that the market price had started to rise." , I wanted to wait a while and then report to the adults."

Li Jianguo snorted and said, "Then have you ever sent someone to confiscate the price-increased shopfronts, arrest his whole family and behead him?"

Guan Ming shook his head and said: "No. The next official is about to ask your lord for instructions. Now more than [-]% of the shops in Jinan Prefecture are increasing their prices, and no more than [-]% of the shops have not raised their prices. My lord, do you want to be careful? Just call the gentry and merchants to reprimand them."

Li Kaiguo was furious, and shouted: "Guan Ming, are you out of your mind? It is clearly written in the notice of my governor that anyone who dares to raise prices and disturb the stability of the market will be executed by the whole family. Do you dare to disobey the order of the government? "

Guan Ming was so frightened that he immediately fell to his knees and said urgently: "My lord, I dare not disobey your order, but if more than [-]% of the gentry and businessmen are killed, won't the market be more chaotic? I am afraid It will be the people of the whole city who will suffer at that time, so if you don’t act for a while, it’s not because you deliberately disobeyed your orders.”

Li Jianguo snorted and said, "Stupid, you only need to arrest people for trial and kill them, and you can find other ways."

Guan Ming answered yes with his head down, and then said: "Sir, there are too many people to arrest, and you need to send soldiers to help."

Li Jianguo waved his hand and said, "Then let the [-]th Household Team help you arrest people. Benfu explained in advance that no innocent people are allowed to be implicated when ransacking the house, and only immediate family members are allowed to be arrested. , must be publicly tried, anyone who appeals for grievances, as long as there are ten people who prove that they have raised their prices, the case can be finalized, do you understand?"

Guan Ming said: "Yes, my lord, I understand."

Li Jianguo waved his hand and left the room.The generals and the secretaries glanced at each other, and they were all convinced by their lord's handling of things.It's easy to say the four words, but it's hard to do.

It's like arresting more than [-]% of the shop owner's family, is it easy to arrest?Who can open a store in Jinan Mansion, who is not a gentry and wealthy businessman, who holds a lot of money and power in his hands?

If it wasn't Li Kaiguo, no one would have dared to risk offending all the gentry by doing so, such as Guan Ming.But after being reprimanded by Li Jianguo, he also lost his courage, knowing that if he didn't do what Li Jianguo said, his whole family might die first.

After leaving the governor's office, Guan Ming immediately sent someone to find out the information of all the store owners whose prices had increased. Two hours later, it was reported that there were 140 stores whose prices had increased, and 53 gentry merchants were involved.

Among the six families of Cao, Liu, Li, Zhao, Wang, and Kong in Jinan Prefecture, only the stores of Wang and Kong did not increase their prices, and the other four involved as many as 83 stores.

Guan Ming sighed, put the list in the hands of the fifth thousand households, and said: "Master Qianhu, just search the house and arrest people according to the list. Don't forget what you said, don't implicate the innocent, don't harass the people, otherwise the consequences will be serious." You know it."

The fifth thousand households shook their bodies, laughed and said: "Of course, the last general will not dare to disobey your lord's orders even if he has the courage to do so."

Half an hour later, Lingshan guards were everywhere in Jinan Mansion. The fifth thousand households divided their soldiers into [-] teams and arrested people one by one according to the list. He was not afraid that anyone would dare to escape. Anyway, Jinan Mansion had sealed the door and no one came out. don't go.

None of the gentry expected that the Lingshan guards would arrest them as soon as they said they wanted to. Each of their families had family guards, but in front of the Lingshan guards, anyone who dared to resist arrest was shot and killed by the Lingshan guards on the spot.

Especially the four families of Cao, Liu, Li, and Zhao. Each family raised hundreds of family members, but under the firearms of the Lingshan guards, they had no ability to resist. Go, arrest people according to the population on the household registration.

At the beginning, when they saw Lingshan guards arresting people everywhere and firing shots, the people in Jinan Prefecture thought it was a mutiny, and they all hid in their homes in fright, shutting their doors.But later, it was discovered that the Lingshan Guards arrested all gentry and wealthy businessmen, and the Lingshan Guards shouted loudly while arresting people: "The Governor has ordered that only the immediate family members of the people who raised prices and disturbed the market be arrested, and innocent people are not arrested." Do not harass the common people." (To be continued...)
