Chapter six hundred and twenty-two: the wind does not stop

The morning court was a bit of annoying, which made Chongzhen feel more and more impatient. Why was there no good news? Liang Tingdong of the Ministry of War reported that the war in Shandong was in full swing, but the imperial army had defeated for several days and the rebels were gradually discontinued. However, this matter could not be announced. Only high-ranking officials above the third rank in the capital knew about the situation in Shandong, which was also to avoid causing anxiety among the people. Chongzhen was also a very good person with a very good face and had not won. If he let go of the conversation now, Chongzhen would not be able to afford this person. So since the victory of Yu Dacheng from Shandong had not yet come up, Liang Tingdong could not report it randomly, and it could only be said that the war was in full swing.

The west is not peaceful, and the governor of Yansui, Hong Chengchou reported that the rebellion of Zhang Cunmeng in Gansu has become increasingly fierce. Since Wang Zuogao's troops were defeated, the team has been divided. However, a guy named Li Zicheng led his troops to Zhang Cunmeng, which has increased Zhang Cunmeng's strength. Now in the Jiazhou area, Zhang Cunmeng has brought capable generals, Double-winged Tiger, Zijinlong, to recruit refugees and deserters, attack villages and villages, and some small counties have not let go. They have gathered tens of thousands of people to rebel in Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia areas.

The court army cleared the troops everywhere, but this peasant army was extremely cunning. They always hid back and forth in the deep mountains and forests. After several months of suppressing bandits, the official army was killed or injured, but the results were very little. Moreover, Zhang Cunmeng learned from Wang Zuoguai's lesson and split the troops into activities without gathering together. According to the information obtained by Hong Chengchou, some rebel prisoners confessed and divided them into 64 battalions, which were operated separately. Hong Chengchou requested reinforcements, but he had only 10,000 or 20,000 troops. If he wanted to wipe out, more than 50,000 people would be allowed.

"Reinforcements, reinforcements! Wherever I go to get so many reinforcements, Shandong is also fighting, Liaodong is also fighting, Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia is still fighting, and the Ming Dynasty is fighting, I will kill these traitors!" Chongzhen's face was flushed, obviously angry. The ministers were also silent, and no one said anything. Zhou Yanru and Wen Tiren, two cabinet officials with ghost spirits, were naturally even more unlikely to touch this brow. Regarding Liaodong, they did not have more information than Chongzhen and Jinyiwei could not obtain, and the cabinet and the Ministry of War He Dehe could get first-hand information. The problem is that Liaodong is now like an external enclave, with a broken connection, and no one knows what is going on.

Wang Chengen quickly whispered to Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Relieve His Angry, Be careful not to get angry." Chongzhen looked at Wang Chengen and said: "How can you know that if Liu Yi did not disobey and concentrated his troops to Shandong, the Shandong rebellion should have been quelled long ago. Three wars are wars in the west. Hong Chengchou cannot attack, so defend it. What is the peasant army? It cannot make waves. What I worry most is that the people of the Ming Dynasty are unstable. Shandong is a thorn that has been stuck in my heart. One day, I will not be able to sleep or eat. I will be more secure after sanitation Shandong and then free up my hands to save Liaodong."

Wang Chengen dared not accept this, but although Wang Chengen was a eunuch, he was not an unreasonable person. In his opinion, Liu Yi was dedicated to the country and hoped that both sides could share the worries of the emperor. However, the emperor was impatient, coupled with his personality, hey! I am afraid that Liu Yi had recorded a note from the emperor.

While everyone was frowning, there were crackling firecrackers and faint cheers outside the Forbidden City. This situation was so familiar to everyone. The last time the capital seemed to be in the great victory of Jizhen, it was empty all over the streets. The capital was carnival all night. Could it be that there was another good news? Chongzhen stood up from his seat with a blast and looked at the door of the hall. The palace gate opened one after another. After the handover of the gate, the two great Han generals guarded a small yellow gate and rushed to the hall. The small yellow gate shouted in a unique sharp voice: "Great victory, great victory, Shandong victory, annihilation of the rebels, and kill Kong Youde in a formation!"

Wow! A low scream came from the hall, and all officials celebrated each other. Chongzhen excitedly took the lead two steps and wanted to walk down the steps. Wang Chengen went up and supported Chongzhen. Chongzhen realized that it was the time for the morning court. As the emperor, he could not lose his composure. However, even though he tried his best to suppress his emotions, he still trembled all over. This is really the case that Cao Cao and Cao came, and mentioned the war in Shandong. The victory document came. The little yellow party rushed to the hall panting and knelt in the hall with a thud. Wang Chengen immediately hurriedly went down the steps, took the document and handed it to Chongzhen's desk. Chongzhen waved his hand, and still had the old rules, let Wang Chengen remember, "All the ministers are here, just read it directly, and let everyone listen to the news of this great victory."

"Yes, I obey the order." Wang Chengen agreed. He immediately unfolded Yu Dacheng's document and began to think of it with ups and downs. "My Governor of Shandong, Yu Dacheng, reported to His Majesty, the army of Dongjiang, who was stationed in Denglai, has attacked more than a dozen cities in all counties since the rebellion, killed tens of soldiers and civilians, causing trouble in Shandong, and the people were living in trouble, and the crime was unforgivable. Your Majesty sent the royal army to reinforce in times of crisis, and a new army to support the north of Nanzhili. He will win in battle, and will defeat the enemy in the attack, and force the thief to force the enemy to win.

Entering a corner of Laizhou, Dengzhou, the weak ministers were not talented, so they made Shandong soldiers and horses think that they were aided and blocked the border, and the bandits could not escape. Another new navy was intercepted at sea. Only then did this great victory beheaded Kong Youde, and destroyed more than 20,000 Dongjiang Army and captured thousands of them. However, the whereabouts of Sun Yuanhua, the governor of Denglai, were unknown. Kong Youde and the chief officials of the main generals and officials had already loaded up vehicles to offer victory to Your Majesty... Congratulations to Your Majesty, the people, the Ming Dynasty, and the emperor, long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long.

Wang Chengen finished reading the letter of victory in one breath. As the eunuch of the Sili Supervisor, Wang Chengen had a good ability to read the memorials, with a straight and melody. It can almost be said that he reflected the feelings that Yu Dacheng was loyal to the emperor and the Ming Dynasty when he wrote the memorials. Moreover, judging from the memorials, Yu Dacheng was still a good person. He was not greedy for merit and knew that the main force of this battle was reinforcements from the court. Their Shandong soldiers were just auxiliary roles, and they basically praised the new army. It was good, and they were personal.

He looked up at Chongzhen and the ministers, silent, deadly silence. Such a letter of victory was usually cheered in the hall after reading the document, but there was no movement at the moment. Wang Cheng'en saw clearly that Chongzhen's face was as heavy as water, as if this was not a letter of victory, but it was a defeat. The cabinet officials and the six ministers of the ministers did not say a word. For example, the morning dynasty was not a major dynasty, and those who could participate were senior officials of the third rank or above. These people were the main decisions of the Ming Empire even though these were the Ming Empire.

Their vision is naturally much higher than that of officials with lower ranks. However, after the remarks of this letter of victory were finished, let alone Chongzhen, even the ministers below did not say anything. Wang Chengen looked at the letter of victory repeatedly, and there was no problem. He just briefly described the war process, and then Kong Youde was beheaded and his head was sent later. There was also how much material he lost, how much material he seized, etc., which was not much different from the previous letter of victory.

Just when Wang Chengen was confused, the Minister of Rites Xu Guangqi spoke. Xu Guangqi was an upright person. Last time, he had a very unhappy relationship with other people because of Sun Yuanhua's incident. Even Chongzhen regretted promoting him to the position of Minister of Rites. However, it was not long before he was promoted, and Xu Guangqi did not say anything that was disobedient. Sun Yuanhua was his student. If he didn't stand up and said a few words, Chongzhen would think he was selfish and selfish. In addition, Xu Guangqi was also considered respectable. If he had just joined, he would have been.

Wouldn't it be so petty that people were sent to the family? So Chongzhen did not pursue the matter. He just said that the whereabouts of Sun Yuanhua, the governor of Denglai, were unknown. It seems that his good student must have died in the chaos or was killed by the rebels. Chongzhen did not take Sun Yuanhua very much. He had to go to Caishikou when he came back. Since his whereabouts were unknown, let Yu Dacheng look for it again. If he found the body, he would give him a pension and settle the matter. It was not Sun Yuanhua's matter that made Chongzhen look like water, but another thing.

Seeing Xu Guangqi standing up, everyone's eyes were attracted by him. I don't know what Xu Guangqi was going to do. Whoever stood up at this time might suffer. There was a huge problem in the just-in-come document, and Chongzhen was also unhappy because of this. Zhou Yanru and Wen Tiren didn't want to make more noise, but now they have a vague relationship with each other. In this high-end game, whoever speaks first may be caught by the other party. Therefore, Xu Guangqi's timely stands out to relieve everyone and has a time to relax. No matter what, let's listen to what Xu Guangqi said first.

"Your Majesty, I have a memorial." Xu Guangqi bowed to his ivory tablet in his hand and bowed to his rituals. Chongzhen came to his senses and nodded and said, "My dear, please speak." "Your Majesty, the new army has won a great victory in Shandong. It is a joyful congratulations. As the Minister of Rites, I suggest that Your Majesty issue an edict to reward the meritorious soldiers, and also send it to all places to calm the hearts of the people, demonstrate the power of the Ming Dynasty and the emperor, and shock the little ones." Xu Guangqi said carefully. Of course, he felt that he was a mirror in his heart, how could he not know the strangeness in the court?
