Pang Chunlai was packing up his textbooks when Zhao Han suddenly walked over and whispered: "Sir, the Tatars have broken through the border, and the imperial court has been urgently summoning King Qin for 800 miles."
"What?" Pang Chunlai suddenly raised his head, with a look of disbelief on his face.
Although Pang Chunlai was from Liaodong, although his family was ruined, and although his hometown was lost, in Pang Chunlai's mind, there was nothing terrible about the Later Jin regime. At most, it was just another Tatar and Oara.
He has always believed that even if the Ming Dynasty was to fall, it would be due to political corruption and peasant uprisings, and the Hou Jin regime had no hope at all.
This is because Liaodong is also troubled by the Little Glacier, and social productivity cannot develop at all.
Moreover, the structure of the Hou Jin regime was loose and the Eight Banners system was not perfect. They were just a bunch of barbarians who only knew how to rob. They not only robbed the Han people, but also robbed other tribes. The savage Jurchens and other tribes were robbed miserably.
It is true that the ethnic minorities in Liaodong are constantly resisting because the rule of the Later Jin Dynasty was too cruel.
Even the tribes that surrendered to the Hou Jin Dynasty would be conquered twice or three times, which was simply inexplicable. If they were short of food, they would grab food, and if they were short of people, they would snatch people. Many savage Jurchen tribes miss the Ming Dynasty.
When Pang Chunlai left Liaodong, the Hou Jin regime was already showing signs of internal collapse.
However, he was slow to obtain information and did not know that Huang Taiji came to power and implemented a "Tian Cong New Deal" to bring Hou Jin back from the brink of collapse.
The Hou Jin Dynasty at this time has undergone a qualitative change from the Hou Jin Dynasty when Pang Chunlai was in Liaodong!
Zhao Han said: "The Tatars have really broken through the border, and the governor of Jiangxi plans to follow the imperial edict to King Qin."
Pang Chunlai shook his head repeatedly and complained: "Jiangxi Qin Wang is a fart. When Wei Zhaocheng arrived in the capital, the Tatars had all looted and went home. This fight is a good plan. One can make money in the name of King Qin, and two can show his own power."
Be loyal and brave. When the time comes, you won’t have to fight a single battle. You can earn money and be appreciated by the emperor."
"There is indeed some cleverness." Zhao Han admired him sincerely. No wonder the man named Wei was able to advance to eight levels in a row.
Pang Chunlai thought carefully and said: "First, the Tatars will definitely not be able to attack the capital; second, the prefectures and counties in the capital will be ravaged; third, Liaodong manager Yuan Chonghuan will be in trouble; fourth, the Donglin Party cabinet may collapse.
"
Zhao Han looked at this master, unable to conceal his surprise, and exclaimed in his heart that he was awesome!
Pang Chunlai's information all came from Tong Bao. The Tang Bao in May this year completely exposed Chongzhen's political intentions.
The emperor took advantage of the capital inspection opportunity to demote, dismiss, and transfer nearly two hundred officials to other places. He also promoted dozens of officials from the imperial court. In addition, he had previously purged more than two hundred eunuchs. Chongzhen had completely taken control of the court.
situation.
At least, Chongzhen felt that he had control of the situation.
The next step is to clean up the Donglin Party cabinet, and the Tatar break provides sufficient reason.
Chongzhen really wanted to work hard and couldn't wait to sweep away the decline, but unfortunately he took too many steps. Many young officials he promoted only knew how to talk nonsense, and their abilities were not as good as those of the Donglin Party.
The two masters and disciples sat and looked at each other in silence.
Suddenly, Zhao Han asked: "Sir, what is a chivalrous person?"
Pang Chunlai said disdainfully: "He is just a person who violates the law and violates the prohibitions. He has no merit at all."
"Brother, it's time to eat!" Fei Chun suddenly shouted.
"Just come!"
After dinner, Zhao Han went directly back to the dormitory, studied ink, and sat in a daze.
He suddenly wanted to write a martial arts novel, copying the general plot and mixing in various personal items. He wanted to promote the feelings of family and country, promote the national integrity, and at the same time call on those knights to serve the country and the people.
The writing style cannot be too formal, otherwise the general public will not be able to read it.
The writing style cannot be too modern, otherwise it will not conform to ancient reading habits and will be considered vulgar.
The writing style of "Water Margin" is just right.
The most suitable ones for adaptation are naturally "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".
But when Zhao Han studied the ink, he found that he seemed to have forgotten the plot, but also seemed to remember a lot of it. He couldn't tell the difference between the novel and various versions of the TV series.
But no matter what, most of the supporting characters in it must have been forgotten, and I can only make them up at random.
There is also a gang of beggars. You can’t write too decently. Who let the brother and sister be bullied by the beggars?
…
But it was said that the fourth young master, Fei Yinggong, had failed to recruit troops in his hometown. He took the money and went straight to Nanchang, where he found that Wei Zhaocheng had already led his troops.
He hurriedly followed slowly, and finally caught up with him at Nankang Mansion.
The Jiangxi general soldier happened to be ill and was lying in Nankang Mansion, refusing to leave. After many days of delay, Wei Zhaocheng could not wait any longer, so he led his troops and continued to set off.
The commander-in-chief of Southern Jiangxi didn't come either, saying that the banditry in Southern Jiangxi was serious and he wouldn't be able to leave for a while.
Under the command of the governor Wei Zhaocheng, he only had 2,000 tofu soldiers provided by Nanchang Guards. At any rate, he recruited more than a thousand local warriors and more than a hundred bandits brought by Fei Yinggon. They traveled by boat along the way, plus boatmen and sailors, and the army was barely strong.
Reached four thousand people.
They didn't bring much food and supplies, and they ran out of supplies halfway through the journey.
Fortunately, he could travel quickly by boat. After arriving in Nanjing, Wei Zhaocheng received Chen Yuting's support.
Chen Yuting was a leader of the Donglin Party and Wei Zhaocheng's mentor. At this time, he was appointed as the censor of Nanjing Youdu. Moreover, he had presided over the Nanjing Jingcha for two consecutive years, and he was a powerful man who could speak for himself.
After obtaining some food and grass in Nanjing, King Qin's army continued on their way. When they passed Huai'an Chao Pass, they were unexpectedly asked for tolls by the officer in charge of the gate.
The officers and soldiers were so happy that they took the opportunity to turn against each other and robbed the Huai'an Pier. They also took advantage of the fact that the canal guards had not yet assembled, and ran away quickly, and everyone made a lot of money.
In the early February of the third year of Chongzhen.
Jiangxi King Qin's army arrived in Dezhou by boat and encountered a large number of White Lotus sect bandits.
There was no fraud this time, there were real White Lotus sect gangsters.
Because the Tatars broke through the customs and invaded, Beizhili became a mess, and various states and counties were looted by the Tatars and the government troops. The White Lotus believers took the opportunity to cause chaos, which stretched across the three provinces of Beizhili, Henan, and Shandong, blocking all water transportation channels.
Wei Zhaocheng was a little scared and wanted to retreat to Dongchang Mansion.
But Fei Yinggong was eager to try: "Don't panic Futai, wait for me to kill the thieves!"
"Young brother, don't do that. The thieves are so numerous that they may be difficult to defeat." Wei Zhaocheng quickly dissuaded him.
"There are some thieves, what's there to be afraid of?" Fei Yinggon laughed.
That night, Fei Yinggon personally led more than a hundred thieves and selected two hundred local warriors, promising gold and silver, to land ashore and attack at night.
The White Lotus cult members were in chaos outside the city. Zhizhou, the governor of Dezhou, took the opportunity to lead his troops out of the city, and worked together to defeat tens of thousands of White Lotus cult bandits—actually a group of refugees who had just taken up arms.
Wei Zhaocheng rewarded the soldiers and selected young and strong prisoners as soldiers. The strength of King Qin's army in Jiangxi reached 5,000.
By the time they arrived in Tongzhou, the war was already over, and the Tatars returned to Liaodong after looting.
Jiangxi King Qin's army was asked to evacuate North Zhili immediately.
That bastard court won't give you any reward, and won't provide you with military rations.
However, Wei Zhaocheng only knew how to bribe the ministers of the court to confirm his merits as a diligent king, and incidentally reported the merits to several generals, without caring about the life and death of his soldiers.
On the way back, the army ran out of food and fodder in Shandong and disembarked in anger to plunder towns and villages.
Just grab it all the way back!
This time King Qin is like a farce.
Zhang Honggong, the commander-in-chief of Shanxi Province, was ordered to stay in Tongzhou on the first day, Changping on the second day, and Liangxiang on the third day.
Such frequent changes of defense were due to the fact that the court did not need to provide food and grass on the day the army arrived.
Shanxi soldiers traveled thousands of miles to rescue the enemy, changing defenses in three places in three days, but could not get a single ration. The soldiers were angry and looted villages and towns, and the court imprisoned the Shanxi governor and the commander-in-chief. Five thousand elite border troops dispersed and fled back.
After arriving in Shanxi, one has to either join the peasant army or occupy the mountains and become a bandit.
Wu Zimian, the commander-in-chief of Yansui, in the name of King Qin, blackmailed the sergeants who were unwilling to join the guard, deducted food and salary, and stole and sold the army horses. During the march, many soldiers fled, and the governor Zhang Mengjing died of grief and anger.
The army of King Qin of Gansu Province did not receive the departure fee and was urged by the commander to march in a hurry. Both the soldiers and the horses died from exhaustion.
As a result, a mutiny broke out in Gansu town. The soldiers killed the chief officer, robbed food and wages, and returned to their hometown. They were suppressed on the way. Some continued to serve the king, and some returned to their hometown to guard the border.
This series of cunning operations not only failed to kill the Tatars, but also defeated the northwest frontier army.
The elite border troops in Shanxi and Shaanxi were all wiped out, and the peasant uprising spread rapidly.
In some places, the main force of the rebel armies was even the fleeing border troops. The elite border troops participated in the uprising, which greatly increased the peasant army's combat power and no longer had to be chased and beaten like last year.
Things have changed in the north, but Jiangnan is still prosperous.
Although Jiangxi suffered a minor disaster, it was generally normal, except for a slightly poor summer grain harvest.
Zhao Han still reads, practices martial arts, and learns the art of war every day, and by the way writes "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" in the style of "Water Margin".
When King Qin's army returned to Jiangxi, Zhao Han was already twelve years old and was only thirteen years old.
There are still fourteen years until Chongzhen hangs himself!
