Chapter two hundred and ninety-eight
"By the way, Wen Qing, you just said that Yunyang Mansion was already in the hands of a thief at this time?" After deciding to take these two thieves, Chongzhen then realized that Wen Tiren had just said that Yunyang Mansion had been involved in the hands of a thief, so he asked afterwards.
road.
In Chongzhen's view, the most important thing is to rectify the administration, take down these ulterior motives or ministers who make mistakes, take their heads to shock other ministers, and let these ministers do their jobs for the court. As for the others, they can be arranged in the back.
.
"That's right, this is also my inference."
"Big partner." Chongzhen suddenly looked at Wang Chengen on the side and said, "You go to Tongzhengsi to ask if there is any memorial about Yunyang that has not been sent yet. If there is one, please bring it back to me."
"Yes, I'll go now." Wang Chengen responded, then retreated.
After a while, just when Chongzhen was a little impatient, Wang Chengen hurried in with two memorials, walked straight to Chongzhen's imperial case, raised his hands above his head, and said, "Old Master, there is indeed
There were two memorials, one was sent by the governor of Huguang, and the other was sent by Jiang Yunyi, the governor of Yunyang."
Chongzhen took the memorial, glanced roughly, then angrily threw the memorial to the ground, cursing: "Impossible, shameless, I should kill you." Then he looked at me as if I hadn't heard anything.
Wen Tiren said, "Wen Qing, look, it's true that the entire Yunyang Prefecture has fallen under Pei Ni's control.
Not only that, Jiang Yunyi also made a big fuss in the memorial, saying that the Pei family army is different from other traitors and never robs the people. It is better than the military discipline of officers and soldiers. He also said that this person is a major concern in the court, and it was simply a fool of himself.
What the thief asks for is nothing but wealth and money. How can there be someone who doesn’t ask for wealth and money? Could it be that Pei Xiaoer is a saint?"
Wang Chengen picked up the memorial from the ground and sent it to Wen Tiren's hand. Wen Tiren had never read this memorial before, so he glanced a few times. Sure enough, in Jiang Yunyi's memorial, he focused on the scale of the Pei family army and roughly explained the performance of the performance.
, The key point is that the Pei family army has completely different performances from other rebel soldiers,
For example, when other thieves captured a city and were busy plundering gentry and people, robbing women, and carrying the young and strong, the Pei family army was completely opposite. Not only did they not plunder the people, but they set up private courts to make the people feel wronged, but also
When the people are affected by disaster, opening warehouses to provide relief to the people is good at winning over the hearts of the people.
The Pei family army is also different from other thief troops. Most of the other thief troops are composed of various large and small military heads. The young and strong people they carry are mostly one of them. The leader of the thief army can be said to be
It is just the most powerful among the many military leaders, while the Pei family army is different. The thief leader Pei Xiaoer has such a strong control over the soldiers under his command, which is difficult for other thief troops to beat.
When Jiang Yunyi was talking about this, she gave an example, saying that when Pei Thief attacked Nanyang, there was a big thief under his command called Wang Daozhi. At that time, Pei Thief had a total of more than 70,000 soldiers, and Wang Daozhi was one person.
He only had 30,000 people, but he was such a person who was dismissed by the thief leader Pei Xiaoer for one word. After that, he was demoted and then he went to lead the new recruits.
Just talking about this terrifying control, let alone other thieves, even officers and soldiers could not do it so easily.
Wen Tiren became more and more frightened as he looked at it. The more he looked at it, the more he felt that the Pei family army was not an ordinary traitor. At this time, he looked quite like the Taizu of this dynasty before he took down Jinling. However, if this was the case, he could not express it to Chongzhen.
After talking for a while, Chongzhen finally vented his anger and his mentality became much calmer. He no longer continued to shout and fight and kill Jiang Yunyi. At this time, Chongzhen finally realized that Yunyang was in a dangerous terrain and had many resources, so he could not
This is the only thing that is occupied by Pei thief, so it is best to expel Pei thief as soon as possible and recover Yunyang.
"Wen Qing, what suggestions do you have for the arrangements of Yunyang Prefecture?" Chongzhen asked at Wen Tiren.
Wen Tiren thought for a while and said, "Report to Your Majesty, the terrain of Yunyang Prefecture is dangerous. Taizu considered that Yunyang Mountains are in the middle of the country, with mountains and valleys deep, dense forests and fertile soil. Those who get it can covet the world by relying on it, so he sent General Deng.
He led a large army to drive away the residents of the mountainous areas of Yunyang, ranking Yunyang as the largest mountainous area with "empty land, and people are not allowed to enter", and heavy troops were set up to investigate and prohibit people from entering.
Later, due to the passage of time, Yunyang Prefecture gathered millions of farmers who lost their land. The imperial court set up Yunyang Prefecture in Yunyang area to control this land so that it would not become the source of chaos in the state.
Now Yunyang is controlled by the rebels, and the court cannot sit idly by. I suggest that the court should send a general to Yunyang to command the army to recover lost territory, eliminate Pei Ni, or expel it."
After hearing this, Chongzhen nodded. The Ming Dynasty was too big, there were too many dangerous places, so many that Chongzhen could not remember them at all. Fortunately, Wen Tiren had an outstanding memory and could tell the situation of Yunyang Prefecture one by one to give Chongzhen a clear and clear
learn.
"It's just that who is better in this army?" Chongzhen thought.
At this time, Wen Tiren seemed to have thought of something, so he spoke to Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, I may have one person."
"Who is it?"
"Lu Xiangsheng, the Northern Zhili Censor."
"Is it him?" Chongzhen had some impression of this person. During the change of Jisi, Huang Taiji led his army to avoid the Ningjin defense line that Yuan Chonghuan defended. He took advantage of Inner Mongolia and broke into the pass from Xifengkou. The capital was martial law. At this time, Lu Xiangsheng was at this time.
He also gathered ten thousand soldiers to go north to serve the king, but this person's official position was too small. Chongzhen seemed to have vaguely seen this name in a corner of the Ministry of War's letter of requesting merit in the later good news.
Later, Chongzhen seemed to be promoted to this person as a right-level political sergeant and deputy envoy, and went out to rectify the military preparations of Daming, Guangping and Shunde governments. But can such a person really do it?
Chongzhen asked Wen Tiren with doubts, and Wen Tiren said decisively: "Your Majesty, this person has made many military achievements in recent years and has defeated the thief who invaded the capital of Shanxi many times. He has now been promoted to the Censor for his merits and will still manage the army. What's more important is,
As early as the beginning of recent years, he had obeyed orders to attack Shanxi, and it was him and several other military generals who drove the Pei family army away from Shanxi.
Later, Lu Xiangsheng pursued Pei Ni with Cao Wenzhao. If it weren't for the later thief Li Zicheng attacking Kaifeng, the Kaifeng crisis, Xuan Mo, the then governor of Henan, transferred Lu Xiangsheng to Cao Wenzhao to advance eastward and cooperated with Kaifeng officers and soldiers to attack Li Zicheng together.
Let Pei Ni escape and ascend to heaven, and break Nanyang and enter Yunyang's disaster."
"Xuanmo?" Chongzhen heard the name again and immediately gritted his teeth. At first, he wanted to occupy this person to shock others. Who would have thought that this person was deeply protected by the Donglin Party members, and the censors were fully fired and opposed it.
Kill Xuan Mo, and even the people used this to slander the court, saying that the court used this to kill ministers, and the darkness was catching up with the nine thousand-year-old Wei Zhongxian. Chongzhen was a man who cherished his feathers, and he could not do anything about it when he saw this situation.
Once you walk alone, you can only imprison Xuan Mo first.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty?" Wang Chengen saw that Chongzhen was a little distracted at this moment, so he could only remind him softly.
"Uh, huh?" Chongzhen came to his senses and said, "What did Wen Qing say just now? Let Lu Xiangsheng go south to suppress the bandits, right?"
Wen Tiren was a little curious about what Chongzhen was thinking just now, but naturally he could not ask about such things, so he could only say: "That is, I think that Lu Xiangsheng has been on the battlefield for a long time and is brave in fighting, so he can take on this important task."
"Okay." Chongzhen still trusted Wen Tiren. In history, the only one who could be the chief assistant under Chongzhen for more than three years was Wen Tiren. "Okay, then let's promote Lu Xiang to the right-level clerk.
The Imperial Censor was appointed as the Imperial Censor to take over Jiang Yunyi and the encirclement and suppression of Yunyang Pei Xiaoer must not be mistaken.
In addition, Jiang Yunyi, the former governor of Yunyang, and Pan Shiqi, the governor of Yunyang, were forced to pay tribute to the throne and levy in Yunyang. He sent people to capture them back to Beijing. After the trial of the Ministry of Justice, the Inspectorate, and the Marble Department, he was imprisoned and died.
The decree, Wen Qing, go back and organize it carefully. After the morning court tomorrow, you will be the world."
"I obey the order." Wen Tiren got up from the stool, knelt on the ground to receive the order.
Just after the court decided to replace Jiang Yunyi to recover Yunyang, Pei Xiaoer and Li Guojun and other troops had also returned to Junzhou, and met Liu Changle's messenger who had been waiting for a long time.
