Chapter 244 Zhongdu is Broken
For Liu Bu, he was not interested in the bad things between Fatty Wang and Zhou Wentong, and he didn't want to care about such things between them. Who can explain these bad things clearly?
He felt strange. If someone else's concubine was robbed and he would pay a small amount of money back, he probably wouldn't want it. However, Liu's luck was better. He met both families with no descendants. Since they had one, they would feel like they had treasures and robbed them one after another. This was a strange thing.
Liu Bu also treated this as a joke and told Zheng Zining. Zheng Zining also found it very funny when he heard it. This kind of thing is still very rare.
If it is with others, this is a big joke, but Liu Bu and the others can't laugh at the moment, because both Fatty Wang and Zhou Wentong are their important subordinates, who help them with their work and have helped them a lot. If the joke is a joke, it will inevitably make people feel disgusted and they are not good-looking.
But this kind of thing is an old saying, that is, it is difficult for honest officials to examine housework. The best way is to let them handle it themselves. If Liu Bu forcedly intervenes, he will only make himself covered in shit and cannot even explain it clearly.
If Liu Bu was allowed to stay in a place, he would not want to do it, whether his concubine was robbed or help others raise children. However, both of them were so happy and happy that they even started fighting for it, so he was speechless. He was something that Liu Bu could not accept at all, and he could not stand up for others.
I can only use the old saying that honest officials can't judge housework, so let them handle such bad things by themselves.
If this matter is a dead knot for Liu Bu, it is unsolvable, but for Zhou Yongtong and Fatty Wang, they both want the Liu family and their children, then the problem is much simpler. I am afraid that no one wants the Liu family and no one wants the children.
Since they all have this relationship, they can close the door and talk about the matter until it is done.
Since Liu Yuanqiao took over Laizhou, Liu Bu basically didn't have to care about disaster relief. Regarding disaster relief, Liu Yuanqiao and Liu Fuqi were more capable than Liu Bu, so he had to do what he thought was good, that is, to strictly grasp the military and rectify his army.
It proved that Liu Bu was right. During the New Year, everyone made a sincere wish, and next year would be better. Not only will the people make such wishes, but even the monarchs and ministers of the Ming Dynasty made such wishes when they ascended the Emperor and the Emperor Hall. However, for the Ming Dynasty, the start of the new year was very bad.
As early as the 12th year last year, the court appointed Hong Chengchou as the governor of the five provinces. Hong Chengchou led the main force out of Tongguan and set up a strategy for the generals in Xinyang, Henan to carry out large-scale military encirclement and suppression of the bandits.
But no one could have imagined that when the You Kou heard the official army rushed to Henan and fled to the sound. They marched south south and attacked the Zhongdu area with all their might. On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the army of the bandit leader Zhang Xianzhong attacked Zhongdu Fengyang. In less than a day, they defeated the 20,000 official troops stationed in Zhongdu Fengyang. After the defeat of the official army, Yang Yipeng, the then general grain (official in charge of the grain transportation) was unwilling to surrender and unwilling to fail. He summoned people and led more than 2,000 soldiers to resist. However, these two thousand soldiers were the temporary people, and they could not fight at all. Therefore, they collapsed with Zhang Xianzhong's army and fled in scattered places. Yang Yipeng died in battle.
Because Fengyang, Zhongdu, did not have a tall city wall, Zhang Xianzhong's army quickly occupied Fengyang. After Zhang Xianzhong's army occupied Fengyang, it began to march towards the imperial tomb seven kilometers south of Fengyang City. The imperial tomb of Zhongdu was the place where the parents and brothers of Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang were buried. It covers an area of more than 20,000 acres and a luxurious palace was built on the ground.
As a result, Zhang Xianzhong's army was in great destruction there. The government pond reported that "the bandits burned the imperial tombs, and the building and hall were ashes. They burned 300,000 pine trees, killed 60 eunuchs guarding the tombs, and left the high walls to blame more than a hundred people in the clan."
In other words, Zhang Xianzhong's army burned the palace buildings on the ground of the imperial tomb, such as pavilions and pavilions, and burned 300,000 pine and cypress trees near the imperial tomb, and killed 60 eunuchs guarding the imperial tomb. In addition, more than 100 royal children who were imprisoned there were released.
It is said that Zhu Guozhong, the governor of Fengyang who was guarding Zhongdu at that time, resisted bravely in the face of Zhang Xianzhong's army that was attacking the city and launched a street fight with the enemy. Zhu Guozhong personally killed more than 20 people and finally died at the brink of strength. Bao Wenda, the Dushi, was caught in the ribs while fighting against the bandits and was caught by the bandits.
The bandits ordered Bao Wenda to take off his armor and surrender, but Bao Wenda not only did not surrender, but instead scolded the bandits, annoyed the bandits, and were cut off their left arm and cut off their heads.
After the battle, the bandit leaders "Sweeping the floor" and "Taiping King" entered the lobby of the Fengyang Prefecture Prefecture. In order to survive, the Fengyang Prefecture Prefecture Yan Rongxuan hid in the prison of Fengyang Prefecture in the clothes of the prison. However, he was still recognized and later beaten to death by sticks.
After that, the bandits executed six other officials of Fengyang Mansion, including Wan Wenying, and 41 military officers. The rest of the "scholars and civilians were killed, and tens of thousands of pregnant women were cut off, and babies were put on spears, and more than 22,650 private residences were burned. Fengyang, the Zhongdu, which was extremely prosperous and wealthy, became hell on earth.
Fengyang, Zhongdu, which has been peaceful for more than 200 years, has officially become a white land, which can be said to be extremely shocking.
Before this, many people thought that the bandits were just scabies. Who knew that the scabies they believed had actually broken Fengyang, Zhongdu of the Ming Dynasty, and dug up the imperial tomb of the Ming Dynasty. You should know that the ancestral tomb of the Ming Dynasty is a very important place. The four words "The World's Foundation" are written at the gate of the Zhengling of their ancestral tomb.
It can be said that this is the root of Daming, the origin of Daming, which makes people ruin it. How serious is this? It is conceivable.
The Zhongdu Fengyang was breached and burned by tourists, which can be said to be a sensation in the world. This incident first passed through the canal and spread to the area here in Shandong. It was rushing through 800 miles and spreading to all parts of the country.
Liu Bu and his friends received the news on the 20th day of the first lunar month five days after Fengyang was captured. At that time, Liu Bu was preparing to have lunch, but he stopped eating lunch. Zheng Zining suggested that he go to Ye immediately to discuss the major event with Liu Yuanqiao.
The Fengyang of Zhongdu was broken and the ancestral tomb of the Ming Dynasty royal family was dug up. This can be said to be a big event that caused a sensation in the world. It is also a very important matter for these virtuous sons and grandchildren who are officials. It can be said that this matter is definitely a major event that changes the pattern of the court.
Even if they are far away from Shandong, they will be affected. It depends on how much impact this matter has on them. They should discuss it immediately.
Liu Bu immediately took dry food and led his horse team to Ye County. As a result, they met an envoy sent by his father halfway through the journey. Liu Yuanqiao also received the news that he had 800 miles in a hurry to go to Ye County immediately to discuss major events.
When Liu Bu and his friends received the news, the court in the north had not received it yet. They were still dreaming of destroying the bandits. Who knew that they accidentally let the bandits escape from the encirclement and broke through Fengyang, the Zhongdu of the Ming Dynasty, and even dug up the imperial tomb. They didn't know how many officials would be implicated and beheaded by the emperor afterwards.
Everyone in this era is superstitious, and even the royal family is no exception. They attach great importance to the ancestral tomb. If anyone dares to touch your ancestral tomb, they will definitely be incompatible and will live to the death.
Moreover, according to superstition, if the ancestral tomb is dug, the minority of the ancestral tomb will cause injuries and financial loss, and if the worst is that the family will be destroyed, it will be extremely serious for anyone. According to folk sayings, if someone is digging up the ancestral tomb, it will be executed directly.
Fengyang, the Zhongdu of the Ming Dynasty, was breached and the ancestral tomb was dug. Everyone believed that something big happened in the Ming Dynasty. At the least, it would be lost in the city and land, and at the worst, it would be lost in the country.
It is because of this reason that Liu Yuanqiao heard that after the imperial tomb was dug up, he summoned Liu Bu over as soon as possible. I believe that at the same time, he also summoned Zheng Zhibao far away in Dengzhou.
Their place has been safe and sound for nearly a year, and the place has gradually recovered. It is estimated that the court will dispatch troops from them without any choice to wipe out the bandits.
However, the bandits were in the Xuzhun region of the Central Plains, which had little to do with them. However, they were worried that they would be betrayed by the people above. In order to seek credit and reward, the people above asked the people below to participate in the extermination of the bandits. This is hard to say, so they had to find a way to deal with it.
Liu Bu rode his horse and led his elite horse team to Ye County quickly. He entered the county town when it was dark. He had just arrived at the door before tied up the horse. Zheng Zhibao also led their horse team to this. This was expected. Because such a big thing happened, local tyrants like them must respond urgently as soon as possible.
Even though Liu Bu was very tired, his legs were worn out, sour and numb, he still knelt down and kowtowed three times. This was not a flattery and flattery towards his superiors, but a respect for his elders.
Zheng Zhibao was very happy to see Liu Bu so polite. He quickly helped him up and said, "Qingzhi gets up quickly."
Zheng Zhibao was quite happy. It seemed that his daughter was quite skilled in controlling her husband. You should know that Liu Bu was quite proud. He rarely knelt down and kowtowed to him in the past, but most of them bowed deeply. Now when he saw his father-in-law, he knelt down and kowtowed directly. It should be a kind of respect for him after their love.
They held hands and entered the lobby of the county government. They saw that the entire lobby was in chaos. The officials, the clerks, and the county officials all looked like dirt, crying for their parents, like their parents who died.
