After Emperor Chongzhen succeeded to the throne, he respected his biological mother as Empress Xiaochun, and the concubine Ju Yu of Dongli Zhuang was kind, so she was given the title of concubine. After respecting Emperor Xizong, the Zhang family was the Queen Yi'an, and the Zhou family was established, and the Cetian family and the Yuan family were the queens. Concubine; beheaded Hakka's younger brother Ke Guangxian, son Hou Guoxing, and Ningguo Gong Wei Liangqing, and personally adjudicated the seven crimes.The first rebellion against Wei Zhongxian and Hakka's rebellion against the law of the Great Rebellion, the first to dispose of the corpse; the second time to conspire with the first rebellion, such as Cui Chengxiu, Wei Liangqing, Hou Guoxing and other six people, beheaded immediately; the third time to make friends with servants, such as Liu Zhixuan, Liang Menghuan, Ni Wenhuan, Xu Xianchun The other 19 people were all planned to be executed after autumn.

There are also 11 people who made close servants, such as Wei Guangwei, Zhou Yingqiu, Yan Mingtai, Yang Weiyuan, and 35 people including Wei Zhide, who was a traitor, and 15 people were sent to the army together; Nearest servants, such as Gu Bingqian, Feng Quan, Wang Shaohui and other 120 people, all sat for three years.

But when Cui Chengxiu returned to Jizhou, when he heard the news, he listed concubines and all kinds of treasures. The whole family hanged themselves, Emperor Chongzhen finally did not kill Cui Chengxiu alive
Emperor Chongzhen used Huang Liji, Shi Fenglai, Zhang Ruitu, Li Guoyu, etc. to live in Kuixi and flattered Wei Zhongxian, and should be reprimanded; Emperor Chongzhen stored the names of the recommended ministers in Jinou and burned incense by imitating the ancient divination scriptures Su worshiped and searched in turn, and got Qian Longxi, Li Biaolai, Zong Dao and Yang Jingchen.Due to the troubles in the world, Zhou Daodeng and Liu Hongxun were added, and they were ordered to join the cabinet as university scholars, and Sun Chengzong and Han Yu were recruited into the court. The Chongzhen dynasty had a great revival.

Jiangxi Governor Hong Zhanzu reported that on April [-]th, the bandits from Southern Jiangxi seized the King of Heaven and led tens of thousands of people to attack Anyuan County. In the first year of Yongxing, he proclaimed himself king. This was a bolt from the blue, which made Chongzhen and court officials set their sights on Jiangnan, Guangdong and Guangxi.

It happened that Fujian governor Xiong Wencan made a memorandum, saying that the pirate Zheng Zhilong had agreed to surrender and begged for grace to be appointed. During the incident, Yan Jizu said that since Zhilong had surrendered, he should be ordered to repay his duties before he could be appointed at his discretion. Since Jiangxi governor Hong Zhanzubing Insufficient horses, just let the Jian governor Xiong Wencan who had freed up his hands and feet to assist Hong Zhanzu to destroy the Southern Jiangxi bandits and the King of Heaven. For meritorious service, the imperial court promoted Xiong Wencan to the post of governor of Guangdong and Guangdong.

In June, Emperor Chongzhen got the news of the defeat of the Jianlu Mongolian army. The Emperor Chongzhen immediately moved to beat the dog in the water, so he appointed Yuan Chonghuan as the Minister of the Ministry of War and concurrently as the right deputy capital censor, and added the governor Ji Liao and the governor of Denglai, Tianjin Military Affairs It is said that Yuan Chonghuan went to the capital to enter the platform, and Yuan Chonghuan rushed back to the capital from Liaodong in July.

Emperor Chongzhen consulted on the platform and the strategy of Ping Liao. Yuan Chonghuan made a statement on the military affairs, claiming that he could return to Liao in five years. The words comforted the emperor, Xu Yuqing was dumbfounded.

Xu Yuqing said: "The emperor is wise, how can you deal with it casually. In the future, you will pursue results according to the deadline, what should you do?"

Yuan Chonghuan also felt that he had made a mistake, so he said again: "The five-year plan to restore the Liao Dynasty is not easy to complete. Since your Majesty has entrusted it to the minister, how dare the minister refuse this difficult task. But within five years, the Ministry of Households will transfer military salaries, and the Ministry of Industry will supply Equipment, the staff of the Ministry of Officials, and the selection of generals by the Ministry of War must cooperate with both inside and outside the court in order to be successful."

The emperor said that the ministers of the four ministries should act according to Yuan Chonghuan's words. Chonghuan also said that the control of the Liao Dynasty was more than enough and that Du slander was not enough. Don't worry, you, I will be the master for you." He also gave Shang Fang a sword and ordered Yuan Chonghuan to do it cheaply.

Yuan Chonghuan hadn’t stopped meeting friends in the capital to celebrate his victory, and there was chaos in the area he was in charge of. Since Yu Anxing, the governor of Jiliao, resigned, there was no superior to control the power of Jizhen for two months. After burning and looting gunpowder, after many measures, they were disbanded.At the beginning of August, the governor of Shuntian asked to pay the salary in arrears for three months in order to reassure the army. Yuan Chonghuan, who was still in the capital, hurriedly transferred Zhao to be the chief army officer of Jizhen, guarding Yongping and Jizhou, and governing Ma Song, Dashi, and Cao. Wall eight roads, quell the turmoil of Jimen asking for wages.

Before Yuan Chonghuan could draw his breath, on July 25, the Sichuan and Huguang soldiers in the Ningyuan Army of Liaoning Province mutinied due to lack of pay for four months. Zhu Mei, the general judge Zhang Shirong, and the official Su Hanchun were upstairs in Qiaolou. Yuan Chonghuan was forced to rush back to Liaodong in a hurry. Zhang Sishun beheaded 15 people and put down the mutiny.

Afterwards, Bi Zisu, the governor of Guanning Metropolitan Procuratorate, Youqin Du Yushi, was fierce and angry, and died after a hunger strike for [-] days; during the Mutiny in Ningyuan, the later celebrity Zuo Liangyu was dismissed from his post, and then returned to the guerrilla; he was implicated by the Sichuan Army General Xiao Can led his troops to escape and took Liu Guoyong's troops from Shaanxi to the north. Yuan Chonghuan urgently ordered Zu Dashou to intercept General Xiao and Liu Canyu on the front line of Jinzhou.

General Xiao Can and General Liu Can have only 2000 troops, most of them are buddies brought by the two from Sichuan and Shaanxi. Because Yuan Chonghuan took advantage of the Ningyuan Mutiny to take advantage of the opportunity to seize power, which caused a large-scale shock in the Liaodong guest army, Xiao Can was unwilling to lose his status General Liu Can and generals mutinied with the Sichuan and Shaanxi guest soldiers who did not want to die in the final battle in Liaodong. Their escape route was the very dangerous Yalu River on the border of North Korea.

Near Songshan, the 2000 troops of Generals Xiao and Liu were blocked by 8000 troops led by Zu Dashou and Wu Xiang. The pursuit of soldiers should be doomed, at this time Zu Dashou's brother-in-law Wu Xiang came up with a bad idea.

Wu Xiang said: "Brother, why don't you send Vice Admiral Xue as the striker?"

Zu Dashou knew that Wu Xiang wanted Xue Zong's troops to take the lead. The "Xue Family Army" led by Xue Zong had about 3000 people. Xue Zong, the eldest son of the house, controls the overall situation, but Xue Qingyi, the second room of the Xue family, still has nearly a thousand loyalists. The most important thing is that Xue Jiu, Xue Shi, and Xue Qingyi are close to General Xiao and General Liu. Jiang and Liu Shenjiang have a lot to do with Xue Polu, the dead ghost of the Xue family.

Zu Dashou hesitated and said, "This is not good."

Wu Xiang said: "Brother, look at Sangui's appearance, everyone who has anything to do with the Xue family deserves to die."

Speaking of Wu Sangui's crooked nephew, although he has found a military position, he can't carry it on his shoulders. How much future can he have by just playing tricks, and when his sister comes to the house, she's full of tears and tears. Zu Dashou's family was upset, and his brother and son were also in the hands of the Xue family's army. Zu Dashou also wanted to eat his flesh and drink his blood for the Xue family and those who were associated with the Xue family.

Zu Dashou called Xue Zong and said, "General Xue, the rebels are ahead now, and it's time for you to make meritorious deeds. Capture the traitors Xiao and Liu alive, and I will protect you as a general in Zhengyin."

Xue Zong twitched his eyelids and said, "Respect your life." Then he returned to the formation.

Xue Jiu, Xue Shi, and Xue Qingyi heard Xue Zong say that everyone should take the lead in attacking General Xiao and General Liu. Originally, Xue Jiu, Xue Shi, and Xue Qingyi had no way to beat the side drums. They didn't expect Zu Dashou to be so wicked. General Can and General Liu fought together, and Zu Dashou's Liaodong reaped the benefits of fishermen.

Xue Jiu, Xue Shi, Xue Qingyi have a very good relationship with General Xiao and General Liu. In the past few years, everyone has taken care of each other. Xue Jiu, Xue Shi, and Xue Qingyi are so successful, especially Xue Qingyi's Xiao Can General, Liu Canjiang, Man Gui, Zhao Jiaolu, and Mao Yuanyi took care of him, and they were quite grateful for their virtue.

When Xue Zong saw Xue Jiu, Xue Shi, Xue Qingyi and others pushing back, he knew that Xue Jiu, Xue Shi, and Xue Qingyi were very emotional. However, Xue Zong had a normal relationship with General Xiao and General Liu. Xue Jiu and Xue Shi were in the rear. At that time, Xue Qingyi was so angry that Zu Dashou wanted to consume himself, and this bastard Xue Zong also wanted to consume himself. Even Xue Jiu and Xue Shi were stunned, they were all soldiers of the Xue family , Eldest Young Master, it's the same root, so why be too anxious.

Xue Qingyi couldn't stand Xue Zong's repeated urging, and he gritted his teeth and called his 1000 troops to go to the front of General Xiao and General Liu. Xue Jiu and Xue Shi were about to lead their troops to follow, but Xue Zong stopped them. [-]. Xue Shi was puzzled by the eldest son's actions. Xue Zong explained that after Xue Qingyi, General Xiao and General Liu Shen used up some of their strength, they would be able to make a move at that time. Xue Jiu and Xue Shi were shocked by Xue Zong's words. Desperate.

At this time, General Xiao Can and General Liu Shen were waiting for the battle, but they only saw that Liaodong sent 1000 people to challenge them, and when they saw the people who turned out to be good friends Xue Qingyi, General Xiao Can and General Liu Can not help but smile bitterly. This Xue Qingyi was also an unlucky ghost who became a victim of the Liaodong Army.

When Xue Qingyi's men and horses marched to 250 paces, Generals Xiao Can and General Liu Can ordered the soldiers to prepare for battle. When they came, General Xiao Can and General Liu smiled wryly. Could it be that Xue Qingyi still wants to come to be a lobbyist.

When Xue Qingyi came to a distance of sixty steps, he said: "General Xiao, General Liu, Yuan Chonghuan, and Zu Dashou are too deceitful. Xue is willing to fight side by side with the two generals. Are the two generals willing to take Xue in?"

Generals Xiao Can and General Liu were overjoyed when they heard this, and immediately said loudly that they would join forces with Xue Qingyi to fight a family. Xue Qingyi won the letter of approval from General Xiao and Liu Can, raised his long spear and shook it violently three times , A thousand soldiers of the Xue family army cheered in their hearts, rushed to the formation of General Xiao Can and General Liu Can, and joined forces with the troops of General Xiao Can and General Liu Can.
