Daming iron-blooded Chief Assistant

Chapter 146 Apocalypse Enthronement
It was already the end of July when Zhang Zongxian received the battle report. Zhang Zongxian thought it was right to achieve such a result. Every soldier was an elite soldier who spent a lot of money to train.

Not to mention that the recruits are all young soldiers. It is the time when they are full of energy. In order to let them train hard, they are provided with meat every day. All the officers are the disciples of the Legislative School who Zhang Zongxian personally taught history lessons. A loyal believer in the debate, he trains soldiers every day with chicken blood.

What about 996 and 007 in the previous life, the soldiers of the Legislative Army are all 715, and they don’t rest all year round except for the Spring Festival. They get up at [-]:[-] in the morning to train, and they train until [-]:[-] pm except for the meal time. Plus an hour of Chinese history compiled by Zhang Zongxian.

For example, the elite frontier army of the Ming Dynasty basically practiced every three to five days, and it would be good to do it every ten and a half months.Qi's army, which is the strictest in governing the army, can practice every other day.Even the British lobster soldiers in the previous life had to train six days a week, don’t get me wrong, two days of training in the barracks, four days of physical labor in the officer’s manor, and the last week.

Soldiers trained in this way, coupled with a whole body of luxurious equipment, deal with a few stinky tartars, Zhang Zongxian feels that zero casualties are right.

In addition, although the Tazi's raid was blocked by the advance team, the early warning tribes arranged on the periphery did not play their due role. The tribes that surrendered were divided into cattle and sheep pastures, and the taxes they paid each year were half of what they used to be.

As a result, such a large group of people entered the Hetao, and no one from those tribes reported in advance, and these Tartars were obviously heading towards the weakest defense.It can be seen that they don't know how to be grateful at all.

Immediately, he ordered Liang Chenran and the others to relocate all the tribes that surrendered to the pastures south of the eight new advance bases. As for those tribes that did not report the movement of the incoming Tartars in time, they would all be dealt with according to the grassland rules.

And asked Liang Chen to start preparing for the pre-war preparations for the recovery of Dongshengwei.As soon as the news of the appointment from the capital came, he would personally launch a campaign to recover Dongshengwei.

In July of the 48th year of Wanli, Ming Shenzong died.In August, the crown prince Zhu Changluo ascended the throne, who became Ming Guangzong.On July 22 and 24, Emperor Guangzong of Ming Dynasty took out his internal funds and issued 100 million taels of silver each to reward the frontier guards in Liaodong and other places. ".

After Zhang Zongxian learned that Ming Guangzong ascended the throne as scheduled, he began to prepare the memorial for Emperor Tianqi.In the memorial, Zhang Zongxian first stated the various maladministrations of the Nine Frontiers of the Ming Dynasty, and then proposed to restore the old system of the Taizu to rectify Yansui Town, and promised to give soldiers Hetao land, so that military households could regain large tracts of land, so as to restore the combat power of the founding of the country. .Then recover Dongshengwei, and then use Yansui Town as the basis to rectify Ningxia. The armaments of Gansu and Gansu promised to recover Shazhouwei and the hometown of Hamiwei to the soldiers who participated in the war. Recover the three guards.

As for the Liaodong Sanwei occupied by Jiannu, Zhang Zongxian suggested implementing a blockade policy on Jiannu, resolutely preventing a grain of grain from flowing into the hands of Jiannu.The weather is getting colder and colder, and the bitter cold in Liaodong will only be more difficult than in the pass.Jiannu relies entirely on plunder to maintain its internal unity. As long as Liaodong is well defended and Jiannu cannot grab things, its interior will naturally split and collapse. Slave, so far within five years, the seven guards will be rebuilt, and then they will receive the divine power of Emperor Zhenwu, seal the snow demon in one fell swoop, and protect the peace of the Ming Dynasty forever.

Zhang Zongxian also issued a military order to Tianqi, giving him three months to recover Hetao and rebuild Dongshengwei.

He also attached the collected evidence that the governor of Yansui Town colluded with the general soldiers to steal and sell military rations and drink the blood of soldiers.

After writing the playbook, someone sent it to the capital to hand it over to Mr. Ma, and asked him to hand it over to Eunuch Li after the sixth day of September.

After making these preparations, Zhang Zongxian waited for Tianqi to ascend the throne, and recommended him as the governor of Yansui.

After the governor of Yansui and the general soldier received the news of Wanli's death, they sighed that God was helping them. At first, they were worried that Zhang Zongxian was the prefect who had been specially briefed by Wanli. It's over.

Just take advantage of the new king's succession and the chaotic court to get Zhang Zongxian done.Presumably the court will not pursue this matter too much.

In order to get Zhang Zongxian out as soon as possible, Governor Hu urged Wang Zongbing to immediately send a messenger to Guihua City to contact King Shunyi.

Wang Zongbing secretly scolded the governor for not doing personnel affairs, and let him do all the things of collaborating with the enemy and traitorous country, and even more wanted to kill the governor to take away all Zhang Zongxian's property.

Just when the King of Shunyi was afraid of the combat power of the Legislative Army and wanted to give up the idea of ​​attacking Hetao, the messenger sent by the general soldier of Yansui Town came to Guihua City by detour through the side wall.

King Shunyi learned this time that the Han army under the Taiping name was actually a rebel army of Ming Dynasty.The Tartars have never understood why this Han army did not fight under the banner of the Ming army. It turned out to be their Ming rebels!

The Tatars thought there was something wrong with this Han army from the very beginning?The original Ming army entered the grasslands and ran away, or set fire to the grasslands. They never occupied a place and held on, let alone reclaiming land.Otherwise, he would not have given up on the Hetao on the spot.

The General Soldier of Yansui sent a letter to the Tartars, deliberately calling the good ministers and the others rebels, and thought about agreeing with King Shunyi to dispatch troops on September [-]th, and they would cut off the rebels' retreat first, and take advantage of the rebels' retreat to cut off the hearts of the people. When panicked, King Shunyi sent troops to attack again.

However, King Shunyi did not fully believe the words of the commander-in-chief's messenger. Even though there were Shaanxi businessmen who were doing business in Guihua City as guarantees for the messenger, the messenger was indeed sent by the commander-in-chief of Yansui.

These businessmen had a lot of connections with Yansui Town, and they were about to be bankrupted by the Taiping. After learning that the general soldier wanted to deal with the Taiping, they immediately gathered together to contribute money and efforts.

In King Shunyi's view, the words of the Han people cannot be trusted. Why are the rebels so powerful?Five thousand warriors fought against three thousand Han troops and were almost wiped out. Why did the rebels come to the grassland to grab territory when they were so powerful? Isn’t it good to go south?
Therefore, King Shunyi believed that the Han people were not telling the truth, but the Tartars could not get any news from inside the Ming Dynasty.The words of those merchants were also unbelievable, so they apparently promised the messenger that they would send troops on September [-]th, but in fact they were preparing to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight.

When the army is assembled, if the Han people in Hetao kill each other, he will send troops to attack Hetao and drive the Han people back into the side wall.

If the Han people didn't fight, then he would transfer his soldiers to attack those tribes that had taken refuge in Lin Dan Khan.After reunifying the remaining [-] households in Tumed, we will come to clean up the Han army in Hetao.

After receiving the messenger's return, Governor Hu and Wang Zongbing believed that they had already secured victory.The two began to discuss the arrangements after recapturing Qingshuiying and Huangpu Chuanbao.

What Zongbing Wang wanted was for Governor Hu to order Zhang Zongxian to be brought to Yulin Town for action, while Governor Hu thought that Zhang Zongxian was not that stupid and would not take the risk, and Zongbing Wang should lead the elite army to go directly to arrest Zhang Zongxian.

Wang Zongbing naturally didn't want to, thinking that I'm old, and I'm not that two-haired boy. I just want to make me go all out with a few words. The last time more than 1 people failed to lay down that country bunker.

Now the house Zhang Zongxian is building in Jiazhou is said to be six stories high, and he can’t really bring 3 to [-] people carrying cannons to attack. It’s not winter, and the Jiazhou government is very prosperous now, and Zhang Zongxian has no Really rebel.

And it's hard to explain on the side of the supervising army. It can be said that sending troops to the side wall is to guard against the Tartars, and leading troops to besiege the court magistrates. He, the chief soldier, is the real rebel.

Seeing that Wang Zongbing disagreed, Governor Hu proposed to select dozens of military masters to ambush Zhang Zongxian and assassinate him on the way out.

Wang Zongbing also felt that this plan was very good, and Zhang Zongxian's property would naturally be theirs if it succeeded.

Even if they fail, as long as they guard the side wall, Zhang Zongxian's disciples cannot come back.Then he, Zhang Zongxian, is a lamb waiting to be slaughtered and let them decide.Unless he wants to rebel and be punished by the nine clans.

And judging from the news from his subordinates, he must have given his all to take the Hetao. Even the troops that guarded Changsheng Fort were transferred outside the side wall. It can be seen that Zhang Zongxian has no strength inside the side wall. Moreover, there are too many people inside the wall to hide any large army.

That is to say, the college he attended didn't know what was going on.But at most a thousand people can be hidden.What can a thousand people do?Yansui Town can pull out [-] troops at will.In addition to other towns in Shanxi, rebellion in Shaanxi is the way to death.

After the two discussed it, they started their respective preparations. Governor Hu began to draft Zhang Zongxian's crimes, and planned to play the court after killing Zhang Zongxian.

Wang Zongbing, on the other hand, mobilized the pro-army and the governor's standard battalion, preparing to take down Huangpu Chuanbao and Qingshuiying.On the other hand, he began to select good fighters from the pro-army of the family's children, preparing to assassinate Zhang Zongxian.

At the same time in the capital, Zhu Youxiao had been promoted to the eldest son of the emperor.After witnessing his father's ascension to the throne, he was full of spirits and looked like a wise king. He had already forgotten what Zhang Zongxian had said to him. As a result, his father Zhu Changluo held the enthronement ceremony only ten days later, that is, the tenth day of August in the first year of Taichang (1620). , I can't afford to get sick.On the second day of Longevity Day, the celebration was also cancelled.

At this time, Zhu Youxiao remembered Zhang Zongxian's words again, but he also kept Zhang Zongxian's instructions in mind, telling him to wait and see what happened and not take any action.

After Zhu Changluo became ill, Concubine Zheng ordered Cui Wensheng, as the eunuch in charge of the imperial pharmacy, to supply the emperor with "tongli medicine", that is, rhubarb.Rhubarb acts as a laxative.Therefore, in the next day and night, Zhu Changluo had diarrhea thirty or forty times, his body was extremely weak and he was in a state of exhaustion.

On August 28, Zhu Changluo summoned 13 people, including the British Duke Zhang Weixian and the cabinet chief assistant Fang Congzhe, into the palace, and asked Zhu Youxiao to come out to meet them.

On August 29, Li Kezhuo, the prime minister of Honghe Temple, said that there was an elixir to present to the emperor.The eunuchs did not dare to make decisions, so they reported the matter to Fang Congzhe, the cabinet minister.Fang Congzhe said:
"He called it an elixir, so he couldn't believe it."

Zhu Changluo knew that his fate was at stake, so with the idea of ​​giving it a try, he ordered Li Kezhuo to go to the palace to offer medicine.At noon, Li Kezhuo prepared a red pill for the emperor to take.After Zhu Changluo took the red pill, he felt fine, so he asked the servant to say:
"After taking the Eucharist, I feel warm and comfortable, and I want to drink and eat."

In the evening, Zhu Changluo ordered Li Kezhuo to take another red pill.Although the imperial physicians objected, Zhu Changluo insisted on taking another pill.Therefore, Li Kezhuo asked the emperor to take another red pill.As a result, Guangzong Zhu Changluo passed away at the fifth watch on the first day of September at the age of 39.

When Zhu Youxiao learned of his father's death, he couldn't restrain the excitement in his heart, and almost laughed out loud.Fortunately, Wei Zhongxian was beside him and reminded him to cry quickly.

While crying bitterly, Zhu Youxiao wondered whether he should kill Zhang Zongxian first after becoming the emperor. He knew too much about such a monster.But he also thought of the terrifying scene of the snow demon destroying the world and freezing thousands of miles.Let Zhu Youxiao be afraid that Daming's foundation will be ruined in his hands.

In the end, Zhu Youxiao decided to use Zhang Zongxian to solve the snow demon first. He had already heard what Zhang Zongxian meant that day, and wanted him to be promoted after Zhu Youxiao ascended the throne. Accomplished the name of Zhu Youxiao's sage king.And then kill him, after all he is the emperor of the real dragon, Cheng Zu will understand his difficulties, and the old Zhu family is familiar with killing heroes.

After Guangzong's death, Li Xuan and You Xiao lived in Qianqing Palace.Liu Yibo and the eunuch Wang An deceived Li Xuanshi, helped Zhu Youxiao leave the palace, went to the Wenhua Palace, kowtowed to Zhang Weixian and others, and supported Zhu Youxiao to live in Ciqing Palace (the prince's bedroom).Shangshu Zhou Jiamo and other officials asked Li Xuan to move out of Qianqing Palace and move to Guluan Palace (the palace where concubines retire), so as to prevent the selection of servants from intervening in politics.

The first assistant Fang Congzhe hesitated, and the censor Zuo Guangdou directly reprimanded Li Xuanshi, saying, "The disaster of Empress Wu will be seen today."

Li Xuan was furious and summoned Zuo Guangdou, but Zuo Guangdou refused.During the incident, Yang Lian strongly urged Fang Congzhe to agree to move the palace, and sternly said:

"Choose the name of Shi Yang entrusting protection, and the fact that Yin Tu is good at it, the palace must not be moved."

Liu Yibo, Zhou Jiamo and others assisted in the matter, and Li Xuanshi was forced to move to the palace.

On September [-]th, the prince returned from school to Qianqing Palace and ascended the throne. After August of that year, the year name was changed to Taichang, and the following year to Tianqi.

As for Zhang Zongxian in Jiazhou, it took five days to receive news from the capital, which was an expedited channel that cost a lot of money to use for eight hundred miles.

After receiving the news that Zhu Changluo was seriously ill on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival on August [-]th, Zhang Zongxian was completely relieved. History has not changed because Liaodong did not fall.Now I'm waiting for Tianqi to read his playbook.

However, the dead soldiers selected by the Yansui General Soldier also came to Jiazhou. They pretended to be ordinary people who came to Jiazhou to find a job, and they were going to attack Zhang Zongxian.

At this time, caravans gathered in Jiazhou, merchants from the north and the south kept coming and going, and people from nearby counties also flocked to Jiazhou to find work, so that the investigation department was not like in Qingjian County, where they could grasp every foreigner. information, we can only adopt the method of focused monitoring.

These dead soldiers have been fed with money by the general soldier, and they all came with the belief that they must die.Fortunately, Zhang Zongxian doesn't like to go out on weekdays, and has been teaching a new batch of crash courses in the academy.Let him not find a chance.

Until they learned that Zhang Zongxian was going to inspect the Yellow River Bridge that was about to be completed.
