  Chapter 486 483 [Laughing to death]

   Chi Huchen, who lost his way in the cave, and Zhu Minru, who was singled out before the battle, made the first achievements of the two Guangxi armies in the north and south, but they were severely criticized by their respective superiors.

   Chi Huchen was demoted to one level, and served as Qin Gongming's deputy, who was promoted to the chief general of the Tengjia Bing.

  Zhu Minru just notified the whole army to criticize, and the division commander Liu Xinyu reiterated again that he must not imitate the one-on-one battle in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

  During the ten-month period, the Northern Route Army occupied the entire territory of Sien Mansion, and the South Route Army occupied the entire territory of Nanning Prefecture (half of which was occupied last year).

  The next step will be very difficult. Facing the enemy army in western Guangxi who fled into the mountains, although the policy of dividing households into fields can gradually reduce the living space of the enemy, and even force the enemy who has no food to surrender voluntarily. However, it will take time and it will be impossible to recover the entire territory of Guangxi this year.

  The remaining enemy forces in western Guangxi sent envoys to Yunnan to ask for help from the Puppet Ming regime.

  Kunming.

   Emperor Zhenwu of the Ming Dynasty Zhu Qifeng (Jin Pang) was drinking and having fun, enjoying a wonderful song and dance performance.

  Cultural and military ministers came to ask for instructions, but Zhu Qifeng said: "Leave civil affairs to Wang Qing, and military affairs to Mu Qing. You can handle it yourself, and you don't need to report everything to me."

  Several Yunnan important ministers looked at each other, couldn't help but sighed secretly, bowed and retreated after bowing down.

  Now in Yunnan, under Emperor Zhenwu, there are three powerful figures:

  First, Mu Tianbo, king of Guizhou.

  Second, the first assistant Wang Shide.

   Third, the **** Gao Lin.

   Mu Tianbo needless to say, the world town of Yunnan, after supporting the emperor, was named the Prince of Guizhou.

  Wang Shide is not the Jin Yiwei who wrote "Chongzhen Legacy", but the former governor of Yunnan. This guy was originally from Yongkang, Zhejiang, and he was a governor in Yunnan. He suddenly heard that Chongzhen was gone, and another prince had escaped, so he discussed with Mu Tianbo to support the new monarch.

  As for Gao Lin, he was originally the **** guarding Yunnan, but now he has become the **** Bingbi, the supervisor of ceremonies.

   "My lord, the western Guangxi defenders are asking for help, should they be rescued or not?" Wang Shide asked.

  Mu Tianbo sighed, and asked, "How can I save you?"

  Wang Shide said: "My lord recruits troops from all walks of life, and may be able to wipe out the rebels in the mountains of western Guangxi."

Mu Tianbo shook his head and explained: "Wang Ge doesn't understand. The army that the king can command is only ten to twenty thousand. The rest of the chieftain's soldiers can fight in Yunnan. I'm afraid they are not willing to take them to fight in Guangxi." apply."

Wang Shide said: "You can know the righteousness. Wherever the Zhao thief rebelled, the chieftains were all divided into land and released as slaves. If Zhao thief kills Yunnan, will the Yunnan chieftain be spared? Helping the western Guangxi chieftain to fight is also the responsibility of the Yunnan chieftain." Fight the war by yourself. The chieftain of Yunnan will definitely understand such a simple truth."

Mu Tianbo smiled wryly: "The truth is really simple, and the chieftain of Yunnan must understand it, but if the bandits Zhao don't come to Yunnan for a day, the chieftain of Yunnan will not be able to be really obedient. After all, the imperial court lacks military rations, and if the chieftain sends troops to bring his own food, who wants to take his own food?" What about the food for the court to fight?"

  Wang Shide was silent.

  Mu Tianbo suddenly said: "In the current situation, the enemy is inside but not outside. We must get rid of that dead eunuch!"

  Wang Shide said: "To get rid of this person, you have to lead troops to force the palace."

  Mu Tianbo suppressed the anger in his heart: "Even if forced into the palace, I have to do it, it's a last resort."

  Eunuch Gao Lin had made Kunming a mess before Chongzhen hanged himself. After supporting the new monarch, he became a **** with a pen, and even more cronyism, constantly cultivating party members, and suppressing any ministers who dared to oppose him.

   These things, Mu Tianbo can bear.

  However, after Gao Lin took control of the court, he even extended his hand to the army, and placed eunuchs everywhere to supervise the army, and gradually controlled the military rations, military salaries, and ordnance.

  Even several Yunnan racecourses controlled by the Mu family were mostly controlled by Gao Lin.

  The dead **** collected beauties everywhere and presented them to Emperor Zhenwu, and also handed over part of the money he found to the emperor. Emperor Zhenwu Zhu Qifeng had already obeyed Gao Linyan and let the eunuchs mess around in Yunnan.

  Last fall, Gao Lin even turned against generals and chieftains!

  Mile Prefecture Tusi and Shibazhai Qianhu joined forces to launch a rebellion because they could not bear to be exploited. Then, the chieftain of Weimo Prefecture followed the rebellion, and the three parties joined forces to capture the entire Guangxi Prefecture. (Guangxi Prefecture and Guangnan Prefecture are both prefectural administrative units in Yunnan.)

  Mu Tianbo recruited tens of thousands of troops, fought fiercely in May, and suppressed the rebellion, finally put down the rebellion.

  Since then, Mu Tianbo couldn't bear it at all, and made up his mind to "clear the emperor's side".

  Wang Shide, the chief assistant of the cabinet, is of course a target of wooing. Because the cabinet and the six ministers, many of them are colluding with the eunuchs, frantically getting money out of their own pockets. Only when Wang Shide is dealt with can Mu Tianbo dare to force the palace, otherwise the small court in Yunnan will be in chaos.

  Wang Shide also couldn't bear Gao Lin, and quickly said: "Since the prince has made up his mind, I will give up my life to accompany the gentleman!"

  The next day, at night.

  Emperor Zhu Qifeng of Zhenwu was still drinking and having fun. He knew that he couldn't be peaceful for a long time, and he could enjoy it every day.

  Suddenly, there were shouts of killing.

  The dancer and singing girl fled in panic, Zhu Qifeng also scrambled and scrambled, and asked the **** while running: "But Zhao thief... Emperor Zhao brought troops here? Follow me quickly... Follow me to sacrifice the city and please surrender!"

  The accompanying **** couldn't figure it out, so he ran wildly with the emperor.

   Didn't run far, when Gao Lin came in panic, the **** cried, "Your Majesty, King Qian rebelled, King Qian rebelled!"

  Zhu Qifeng is like falling into an ice cave, he can ask to surrender when the Datong army comes, but Mu Tianbo's rebellion will be fatal.

   "Quick... Hurry up and **** me out!" Zhu Qifeng was even more frightened.

   An emperor and several eunuchs ran around in a panic.

  No matter where they ran, they were all frightened back by the shouts of killing, and the palace seemed to be surrounded.

   Just as Zhu Qifeng was looking for a hiding place, Mu Tianbo and Wang Shide led troops in.

  Zhu Qifeng trembled all over, knelt down on the forehead, and begged: "King Qian, spare my life, King Qian, spare my life. I... I will not be emperor anymore, and I will give up the throne to King Qian, please spare my life!"

  The first assistant Wang Shide looked ugly, how can there be such an emperor?

   Hope it doesn't look like a gentleman!

   "Take it!" Mu Tianbo shouted.

  Hearing this sound, Zhu Qifeng collapsed to the ground, so startled that he lost his ability to think.

   But the soldiers caught the eunuchs and did not attack the emperor.

Mu Tianbo also personally helped the emperor up: "Your Majesty, the ninety-five-year-old, how can you kneel on the ground? The ceremonial supervisor, Bingbi Gaolin, embezzled military rations, withheld military salaries, framed Zhongliang, excluded dissidents, kidnapped people's daughters, occupied people's land, Deceive the emperor and ignore it... It’s really too much to describe. The ministers and soldiers came here only for the Qing emperor’s side. Your Majesty, please kill Gao Lin and his henchmen!"

   Didn't you come to kill me?

  Zhu Qifeng was overjoyed immediately, pointed at Gao Lin and said: "Kill, kill this guy!" Then he said to Mu Tianbo, "King Qian has done a great job in eradicating adultery, seal... seal..."

   There is nothing to seal.

  Zhu Qifeng had an idea: "Seal the Zhu Kingdom!"

  In the Ming Dynasty, there were only Zuozhu and Youzhu Kingdoms according to the system. Although Li Shanchang and Xu Da were enfeoffed as Shangzhu Kingdoms, they were all changed to Zuozhu Kingdoms in the end.

  Chang Yuchun and Yao Guangxiao's Shangzhu Kingdom were all presented posthumously.

  Xia Yan was confiscated in the Zhu Kingdom, and it was really over after the confinement.

  Zhang Juzheng was also posthumously donated to Shangzhu Kingdom, and there was no peace after his death.

   Is this a reward, or a curse?

  Mu Tianbo knelt down and kowtowed, "I don't ask for rewards, I just want to set things right for His Majesty."

   "Then...then ransack the house, the house of Gao Lin, a rebellious minister and traitor, and reward the king of Guizhou with all the money copied," Zhu Qifeng said to Wang Shide again, "The old Wang Ge also has meritorious service. He was named Zuozhu Kingdom and a grand master!"

   "The minister does not ask for rewards." Wang Shide completely gave up on the Yunnan court.

  His hometown is in Zhejiang. Although the family was divided into fields and the tribe was divided into several groups of immigrants, no one died after all, and the floating wealth and shops were kept.

  Wang Shide now just wants to go home for the elderly, and he doesn't want to continue to toss in Yunnan.

  Suddenly, Wang Shide had an idea, why not write a letter to the Datong Army, asking the Datong Army to send troops to Yunnan as soon as possible, the loose sand in Yunnan can't stop it. At that time, if I encourage the emperor to surrender again, won't I be able to make meritorious service in the new dynasty?

   It wasn't all for himself, Wang Shide felt in his heart that the early collapse of the Yunnan court could be regarded as saving the people and accumulating evil virtues.

  Although Wang Shide is the chief assistant of the cabinet, he has no real power at all, otherwise he would have been purged by the **** long ago!

  Mu Tianbo has succeeded in clearing the emperor, but the chaos in Kunming has not subsided, and there are soldiers or gangsters everywhere taking advantage of the chaos to loot. Mu Tianbo's army arrested Gao Lin's remaining party everywhere, and many innocent people were also blackmailed as the remaining party.

  Soldiers are scattered and cannot be recovered for a while. It is normal for generals to take the lead in looting.

  In the imperial prison, a group of ministers who were excluded by the eunuchs were released.

  Wu Zhaoyuan, the 73-year-old Wu Zhaoyuan, the Zuo Buzheng envoy of Yunnan in the Ming Dynasty and the second assistant to the cabinet of the Yunnan Puppet Dynasty, finally dragged his old body out of the prison.

  After he figured out the reason, he immediately asked for an official post, wanting to return to his hometown to take care of himself.

  Wu Zhaoyuan has decided to go no matter what Mu Tianbo and Wang Shide do to stay. In desperation, Mu Tianbo donated silver and sent his own soldiers to **** Wu Zhaoyuan away.

  Wu Zhaoyuan brought his family back to his hometown. He didn't dare to go to the war zone to return to Fujian, so he went to Sichuan via Guizhou, and soon found that his appearance was very different.

  The people of Guizhou are good enough to have food on their faces, and many of them are too hungry to walk. Due to the scuffle between chieftain warlords, the fields along the way are often barren, and it is a scene of the end of the world where the people are in dire straits.

   But in the territory of Sichuan, although the life of the people is also very difficult, they are all in good spirits. Not only can't you see the barren fields, but there are also grassroots officials who organize the people to build water conservancy facilities. It is not the way of conscripts in the Ming Dynasty, but the construction is divided into villages and towns, and the common people are very motivated to bring their own dry food.

  Wu Zhaoyuan asked the boatman when crossing the river: "How long has this place been governed by honest officials?"

  The boatman replied with a smile: "It has been a year, and the Datong court is doing very well, and now there are Qingtian masters everywhere."

  In the eyes of Sichuan people, a good official is one who doesn’t mess around, and one who does practical things can be called the master of Qingtian.

   Wu Zhaoyuan asked in surprise, "Only for one year?"

  The boatman said with great anticipation: "Once Mr. Qingtian comes, we will have a bumper harvest this year. If it takes a few more years, how rich will it be? I'm afraid we can eat meat every now and then!"

  Wu Zhaoyuan continued to travel north, and then went east along the Yangtze River.

  The farther to the east, the better the situation, because the eastern Sichuan region has been governed by Datong officials for more than two years.

  The old gentleman left in no hurry, dismissed Mu Tianbo's personal soldiers, and took his family to the countryside along the river to visit farmers.

   After traveling through several counties, I entered Huguang again by boat.

  When he came to the villages and towns in Hunan, he only stayed for two days, and he said to his son with dancing and dancing: "The world is in great order, the world is in great order, and even if I die, I can rest in peace!"

  Wu Yingxi said: "Father will live a long life."

  Emperor Chongzhen personally received the four incorruptible officials at the beginning of his succession to the throne.

   And Wu Zhaoyuan is the head of the four honest officials!

  When he was the county magistrate, he reformed the system, cleaned up taxes and servitude, treated the people well, and retried unjust cases.

   Not only good at managing the people, but also good at managing the army, the military pay from him is exactly the same.

   Then, he was sent to prison.

  Although he was revived in the Chongzhen Dynasty, he was always in circles, and was finally thrown to Yunnan as a political envoy.

Wu Zhaoyuan visited a village primary school in Hunan again and asked about the education of the new dynasty. He went home that night and said to his son: "After returning to Fujian, you should go to the new dynasty to be an official. Your grandchildren need to study well. Practical learning is excellent, and physics , Mathematics should also be studied hard.”

  Wu Yingxi said: "Kid, remember."

  Wu Zhaoyuan laughed suddenly: "I thought it was the end of the dynasty, but unexpectedly the world is about to be ruled. My heart is so happy, my heart is so happy, hahahaha..."

   Laughing and laughing, the laughter stopped suddenly.

  Wu Yingxi felt something was wrong, stretched out her hand to sniff, and suddenly cried out in grief: "Father!"

  This old gentleman, sitting on a chair, died laughing.
