Under the circumstance that the battlefield was covered intentionally or unintentionally by several forces, and the traffic between the north and the south was blocked, the imperial court still didn't know anything about the big event that nearly 20 people collapsed in the Tongxu and Weishi areas.The city of Beijing is still immersed in the grand sacrifices to the fallen soldiers of Liaodong headed by Hong Chengchou.

Sacrifice to the spirits of Hong Chengchou and others every day, the etiquette is very grand.On the first day, the minister of the Ministry of Rites will officiate, and the servant minister will officiate afterwards.It was originally planned to sacrifice nine altars, one altar every seven days, and it has been carried out to the fifth day.The scholars and people who went to watch outside the Chaoyang Gate every day were like going to a temple fair. Everyone praised Hong Chengchou for his death more than Mount Tai, and his mourning and glory were far greater than those of the previous dynasties.

From the sacrifice to the sixth day, Hong Chuan Qin Tianjian chose the day after tomorrow, which is May [-]th, at three o'clock in the morning, the emperor will come to sacrifice in person, accompanied by all civil and military officials.This is an extremely rare event, and the whole Beijing city is boiling over it.

As the news spread, officials from the prefect of Shuntian, Tongzhi and other officials, together with the magistrate of Daxing County, dispatched urgently to supervise the soldiers and civilians to carefully inspect the houses along the road, and strictly ordered the residents of the house to stay overnight Repair; any unsightly posters on the walls and planks must be removed and washed with water.The urinals placed at the entrance of the alley next to the main street, urinating everywhere, smelling smelly.All sections ordered the person in charge of Guanfang Lane to immediately move the urine tank to another place, shovel away the urine mud, and fill it with new soil.

Cheng Guogong Zhu Chunchen, who is in charge of the Dudufu of the Five Armies, has nothing to do on weekdays. Now he wants to take this opportunity to satisfy the emperor, so he, together with the military ministers, rode on fine horses, and led a large group of civil servants, generals, soldiers and servants, to call Houyong, from outside the Donghua Gate to the east along the road, until the sacrificial shed two miles away from the Chaoyang Gate, point out all the places where bad guys may be hiding.He negotiated with the minister of military affairs.Discuss with Li Guozhen, the Boss of Xiangcheng who is in charge of the Beijing camp, and select [-] elite soldiers from the Beijing camp, and prepare to carry out "police" along the way from then on, and invite the emperor to have a look at the style of the soldiers in the Beijing camp.

As for the front and back, the guards around the sacrificial shed.The guards of honor for Luanyu are all the responsibility of the Jinyi Guards, and Wu Mengming, the envoy of the Jin Yiwei, has made his own arrangements.Wu Mengming also discussed with the admiral and eunuch of Dongchang, and both sides sent more plainclothes detectives, who were called to fight the incident at that time, in various hotels, restaurants, and teahouses in Dongcheng and Chaowai.Strict investigation and precautions should be taken in temples and other places where unsuccessful people can hang out.In addition, Daxing County had ordered hundreds of mules, horses and carts early on, and Tong Long Shengxing, who was kind and eloquent, had borrowed a lot of equipment.The yellow sand was continuously transported and piled up on the side of the road, ready to be laid on the road before dawn on the [-]th.The yamen of the Ministry of Industry is building the imperial tea shed, and the work is being completed and carefully arranged for the emperor to rest.

Everything is in full swing.

In the cabinet, Zhou Yanru, Chen Yan and others had several document titles listed in front of them.

One is the victory title book of Zuo Liangyu, the general who suppressed the bandits, in which he made a lot of publicity about the time when his family defeated the Fifth Hui Reform Battalion entrenched in the Yingshan and Huoshan areas.He returned to the division to defeat the great achievements of Zhang Xianzhong's troops in Xiying, who were trying to join forces with the fifth Huige battalion and went south to harass Liudu.

"According to the confession of the captured bandit leader. Xian Bandit has the intention of going north to join forces with Chuang Cao. However, as far as I know, the three of them have the intention of annexing each other. If they are in a partnership, there will be a change of elbow and armpit. The ministers can just march straight in and cut off the fangs for the court, so as to relieve the worries of the emperor."

This is the title book after he defeated Zhang Xianzhong, and the date is a few days later.After he led his troops to the north, he had already entered Shandong's supervisor Hou Xun. Among the military information provided to the court as a supervisor, he was not without complacency and said, "According to the rumors among the thieves. After the three giant bandits joined together, the Cao bandits Conspired with the bandits Xian to kill the bandits in order to seize their army. Right now, there is a civil strife among the bandits. The rest of the bandits under the bandits under the command of Liu Zongmin are fighting endlessly with the bandits Cao and Xian bandits."

In addition to proclaiming that he had not reached the former enemy, he had already frightened the thieves and caused frequent civil strife, Hou Xun even impeached by name, claiming that the Shandong soldiers and horses that were originally ordered by the imperial court to be controlled by him did not obey the dispatch, and acted for Shandong Denglai and other departments Not only did Li Huayu, the son of someone who was involved in the matter of soldiers, horses, money and food, not obey his orders, he also threatened local officials in Shandong not to obey him, the master supervisor. "Once the food and salaries of the three armies run out, and there is a threat of failure, does Li Huayu have the intention of redeeming himself?"

Regarding the contradiction between Hou Xun and the soldiers and horses in Shandong, Denglai and other places, several big bosses in the cabinet are also very clear in their hearts.To be honest, this was consciously created by them in accordance with the emperor's will.However, he never expected that Li Huayu's counterattack method would be so hot.Not only ignored Hou Xun, the hollow supervisor, and threw his order asking Li Huayu to provide 30 people's food and wages into the toilet, but also issued an order. "My official Bingwei received the imperial court's decree to allocate Shandong from Uncle Ning Yuan's command to some bullshit supervisor. If you dare to give and accept privately, don't blame this official for being ruthless!"

Officials from various prefectures and counties in Shandong have long known the ruthlessness of this eldest son, so who would dare to use their black yarn, future, fortune, wealth, and life to curry favor with Hou Xun?Ever since, Master Hou went south along the way, not only did no officials approach him from far away, he accepted red envelopes and bribes wantonly.Even a sip of water and a meal have to be paid out of their own pockets. How can this be done?

Therefore, a memorial to impeach Li Huayu for being arrogant, domineering, disobedient to command, and delaying the military aircraft, and worthy of death, was placed in front of the cabinet leaders in the name of the supervisor and the capital censor.

And there was another problem, which caused the adults a lot of headaches.

Emperor Chongzhen was overjoyed when he learned that Zuo Liangyu had defeated Zhang Xianzhong, and was a little incoherent for a while.So that the cabinet officials are willing to draw up a reward, to give the Zuo Ping thief a beautiful earl.

On the one hand, his son was being impeached harshly, and on the other hand, Zuo Liangyu was about to be conferred the title of uncle. If Li Shouhan didn't act again, he wouldn't be Li Shouhan anymore.

Li Shouhan claimed that he was extremely exhausted physically and mentally, and was unable to contribute to the country at the moment, and asked to lead his troops back to Guangdong to recuperate, and then appeared in front of the adults and gentlemen.Not only did it appear in words, but Ning Yuanbo's subordinates also arrested ships in various places and loaded a large number of luggage by sea, as if they were ready to go south at any time.

What should I do?The new defeat in Liaodong was at a time when the army was panicking. If a Dinghai god like Uncle Ningyuan returned to Nanzhong again, I would be afraid that Zuo Liangyu, Sun Chuanting, who was training in Shaanxi, and Wu Sangui, who was taking in the defeated soldiers in Ningyuan, would be a mere Zuo Liangyu.It is difficult to sustain the crisis.

However, how to settle this intricate relationship is really a headache for the cabinet bosses.

Although Li Shouhan was not as tyrannical as Zuo Liangyu, who frequently plundered counties and slaughtered good people, but.It doesn't mean he is a good person.Really annoyed him, the emperor's position, everyone's black hair, are in danger!

Delay, this is the attitude agreed upon by Zhou Yanru and others.As long as Zuo Liangyu defeated Chuang Cao in one fell swoop, the imperial court would have a lot of confidence to speak, and then they could properly reprimand this arrogant and domineering Uncle Ning Yuan who caused trouble everywhere!

However, now is not the time.

then.Several adults met for a while, and after discussing with Chongzhen for a good life, an imperial edict issued in the name of the emperor to Uncle Ning Yuan was sent to Tianjin by the angel.

"I know that you have worked hard and worked hard for the country, but the current situation is difficult and dangerous, and there are many rumors that are not good for you. I know your loyalty, and then gossip that you like wealth more than worrying about state affairs. Beauty is better than marching. I dare not I used the ancient sages to seek you, but there is Hong Dushi who can follow suit. If you learn from him to be honest and loyal to the court, then the rumors will definitely be stopped. You should try your best, and you can also make me enemies. "

The big bosses in the court and Chongzhen felt that writing this way not only gave Li Shouhan face, but also gave him a sigh of relief. It was a small warning to Li Shouhan, an arrogant and domineering warrior.

but.Li Shouhan didn't appreciate it at all.

After receiving the imperial decree, I almost burst out laughing.Brothers, can you not be joking, if I guess right, Hong Chengchou is hugging me, Xiaozhuang, and having sex! ?If I learn from him, will I also have a good discussion with Tartar in the future?And get a Tartar twat to fuck?Well, who is the right person to have sex with?Da Yu'er and Hong Dushi have gotten away with each other, so I can't let Lao Tzu do the trick for him, how about finding Xiao Yu'er?They are all famous and dreamy beauties.Although it is not as famous as my Xiaozhuang, it is not bad.

(A good but not a bad spirit, Li Shouhan's slander was unexpectedly fulfilled a few years later. For this reason, he complained endlessly, but there was nothing he could do.)

"Everyone, Uncle Ning Yuan has no gratitude for the imperial court's decree. Instead, he has intensified his efforts. Sea ships have already set off from Nigu and headed straight for Denglai and other places. According to the news from Jinyiwei and other places, there are still large and small Hundreds of ships will go south in advance, either to Denglai or to Songjiang Mansion, what do you think?"

Zhou Yanru, who had experienced the ups and downs of the officialdom for a long time, secretly cried out in his heart that something was wrong. He received the secret report that Li Shouhan was still preparing to go south with great fanfare, but he was helpless.

Now the imperial court has less than or equal to zero control over this kind of military commander.In comparison, this Uncle Ning Yuan was quite polite, at least he saved enough face for the court, and he didn't give an order like the lunatic He Renlong, and the whole army clamored to go south.Instead, there was a question book, in which there was a lot of complaints, why the southern soldiers couldn't stand the severe cold climate in the north, they were not used to eating, their bodies couldn't withstand the hard work of the past few days, and so on.

Although we all know that Ning Yuanbo's reasons are very far-fetched, but at least there are some reasons.Moreover, it is not the Nanyue Army who is asking for the imperial court, but the imperial court is asking for the Nanyue Army.As soon as he left, what would Huang Taiji Dorgon do if Weinan went down to knock on the pass while taking advantage of the big victory?

Several cabinet chiefs looked at each other in blank dismay, as if they were mud-bodied wood sculptures in a temple, all of them were speechless.Chen Yan muttered, "It's all Hou Xun. If it wasn't for him, the imperial court wouldn't be so divided with Ning Yuan Bosheng?"

"Master Chen, what's the use of saying this at this time?" Zhou Yanru smiled wryly. If it wasn't for using Zuo Liangyu to deal with the growing power of Uncle Ning Yuan, why would the court have given up Hou Xun, a man who only knows how to play tricks? Released from the dungeon?However, originally it was to balance the dominance of Ning Yuanbo's family, so that Zuo Liangyu could fight a few good battles for Hou Xun's face, and also create a reason for the court to praise him.But I don’t want our Lord Hou, not to mention the slow journey to the south, but because of the pretentiousness, he completely offended Uncle Ning Yuan’s family first!

When I was sitting in a sad city, worrying about how to deal with the predicament in front of me, a new victory document arrived again.

This is Hou Xun triumphantly recounting that his general Zuo Liangyu once again defeated the trespasser Li Zicheng's troops on the way back to the north with Baoding governor Yang Wenyue and governor Ding Qirui.

"In this battle, tens of thousands of elite trespassers were wiped out, and five sets of armor and dozens of mules and horses were seized. Countless heads of thieves were beheaded! Another thief was shot. Cap. Only one eye. After being identified by Hao Yaoqi, the leader of the captured bandit, this bandit must be the intruder Li Zicheng."

Well, beheaded Li Zicheng again?Destroy tens of thousands of elite thieves?The cabinet members were a little dumbfounded.The document saying that Li Zicheng died of internal strife is still on the table of the adults, and now it is said that Zuo Liangyu killed Li Zicheng? (Your ability to wait for Xun Baogong is about to catch up with the Central Daily of the Cannon Party?!)

There is no way, who made the court need a victory as a fig leaf?Even if the food is known to be spoiled and poisonous, the cabinet has to eat it as a delicacy with a smile on its face.

that day.An imperial decree was drafted and completed quickly, and some horses left Chaoyang Gate and went along the canal to Tianjin.

"I have always heard that Qing's army is powerful, but Qing's son patrolled the east of Henan and did not enter, and he gained quite a few, which is far from the day when he defeated Abatai. I can't compare it with the army, but Zuo Liangyu recently How can you fall behind others by breaking the bandits and making great achievements? Therefore, you should order your subordinates to march in the starry night. Take Kaifeng quickly to avoid the criticism of the people. I can also sit in the court and recite the merits for you."

After the free rice soup was finished, the emperor hinted to Li Shouhan that as long as it is beneficial to the country and the people, I would be happy to see it succeed, so the Qing family can just let it go, "I, it should not be controlled by remote control."

Come on!With your words, we can handle it easily!

The Southern Guangdong Army in Tianjin.Immediately, a large group of people came out to convey the emperor's will to all the prefectures and counties under the jurisdiction of the governor of Tianjin, as well as the counties and counties under the governor of Jimen, which were also under the control of Uncle Ning Yuan.

Together with this decree, what came to the officials of the prefectures and counties was the document on the collection of summer grain.

In the document, the amount that should have been paid by each state and county is the same as the actual number of acres of land, and in accordance with the so-called regulations that the officials and gentry should pay the grain together.There are also the so-called unified progressive tax system accounting for the money and grain tax figures that should be paid by each state and county, listed one by one clearly.Looking at the taxes that were far greater than the amount of money and food receivable in previous years, the officials of all states and counties were dumbfounded and complained.

"Whoever dares to shirk responsibility and not implement the uncle's regulations, we have the sacred decree in our hands!"

The officers of the Southern Guangdong Army who came to deliver the documents.He frowned and threatened the group of county magistrates.

In the entire Gyeonggi region, the chickens and dogs who were tossed by Uncle Ning Yuan's new summer grain collection policy jumped up.

"It used to be the foundation of wealth, but now it is the prefix of tiredness." A folk song quickly spread among the big officials and gentry in Tianjin and Jimen.Those donated fields turned into hot potatoes in an instant.The money and food collected from the donors are far from enough to offset the substantial increase in money and food after the implementation of the so-called unified progressive tax system.

There is also a killing stick, which is to recover the money and food owed by various places over the years.This time, it cost the lives of landlords everywhere.

"Which official dares to speak for these guys who owe money and food to the court, plead for mercy, and refuse to implement this law. Uncle Ben will at least ask for the king's order flag and Shangfang's sword to behead you first, and then ransack your home. The family property will be used as military pay, Wives and daughters are slaves, and children and grandchildren are slaves!"

Li Shouhan's bloody threat made all officials in Tianjin, Jimen and other places, from the governor down, tremble.More people have been sent to urge the landlords and gentry everywhere to pay the money and food.

However, it is impossible for the officials to completely break with those local gentry. They themselves are two sides of one body connected by flesh and blood.Registered officials are gentlemen, those scholars with fame, God knows when they will become famous in one fell swoop and become their colleagues and superiors?

It is unavoidable that while loudly urging the payment and doing enough bureaucratic papers, at the same time, officials and gentry from all over the country are conspiring secretly together.

Within a few days, on all the main roads leading to the capital, there was an endless stream of people who came to Beijing and complained about the Beijing control.The Ming Dynasty version of the petition has begun.

Among these people, many of the local gentry's helpers were agitating among them, giving advice to these small landlords and Fan Jin who pointed at the property and pretended to be a facade.

If it had been different from the previous years, the brigade of common people would have gone to the capital to beat the Dengwen drum to accuse the officials, and it would have become a big news that the government and the public paid attention to.The officials involved will be labeled as tyrannical, harmful to the people, corrupt and perverting the law, not emphasizing education, but only emphasizing wealth.However, nowadays the capital does not pay so much attention to these bumpkins from other places.

On the one hand, the bustle outside the Chaoyang Gate is still going on, and the idlers in the capital don't care about them.

The two, after learning that some people were secretly collaborating to prepare for Beijing Control, Li Shouhan secretly ordered several newspapers in the capital to quietly reverse the direction of public opinion.Link the national money and food taxation with the dead in the Liaodong war. "Those who defaulted on money and food in previous years are nothing more than accomplices of Liao thieves!"

"The Son of Heaven respects the father of the king, and even pays the Liaodong army with the money and food from the inner government. We are the sons of the father of the king, and we are trying to steal money and food. What kind of heart?!"

Wait, many high-profile words have been published one after another.

In addition, there were two more victory documents from Kaifeng that left the court officials speechless.

"Our Shandong soldiers and horses, the Sanqian Battalion, and the various units of the Shenji Battalion traveled overnight and arrived at the bank of the Yellow River. We attacked day and night, and now we have recovered the provincial capital of Kaifeng. We have killed more than a thousand bandit old battalions and thousands of cavalry!"

"The men and horses of the Beijing camp fought in a bloody battle in Kaifeng, beheading [-] thieves, and chasing and killing them to Zhuxian Town. Many people were killed along the way! There is a corpse of a first-rate thieves inside, and there is a gold-painted and vermilion lacquer quiver beside him. A fake seal of Fengtian Advocating Civil and Military Generalissimo. Suspected to be a giant bandit and thief Li Zicheng!"

The Jingying documents were more subtle, only mentioning the evidence and characteristics, not like Zuo Liangyu and Hou Xun, who shot Li Zicheng to death one after another. (To be continued..)
