Regarding Yuan Chonghuan, Tie Mo could only use eight words to evaluate him.
Too much selfishness, too little ambition and too little talent!
In the five years of Pingliao, what kind of person dared to say such big words? When he first said this, I am afraid that even Yuan Chonghuan himself did not believe it. He dared to say this just to gain political capital in front of Chongzhen and get re-employment.
.
Yuan Chonghuan successfully became the governor of Jiliao, which shows how immature Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youjian was. However, from this point, it is not difficult to see that Zhu Youjian was also a simple person.
At least Zhu Youjian sincerely supported Yuan Chonghuan. If it weren't for the serious blood-sucking in Liaodong, the imperial court would not be so poor that it could not provide enough money and food for disaster relief, causing the situation in Shaanxi to quickly deteriorate.

At night, I drank some wine with Hei Yunlong and Li Jiasheng, and when I got back to my residence, it was already Haishi.
It was late at night, and the wind was a bit chilly. When I opened the door, I saw a pair of green eyes, and a lantern hung at the door, swaying gently.
Mengmeng squatted at the door, squinting his eyes and looking like he was enjoying it.
A petite figure hugged Mengmeng's neck, her eyes were slightly closed, and there was a trace of drool dripping from the corner of her mouth.
Seeing this figure, Tie Mo frowned and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes.
How did this girl Nunu come here? Who would believe that this girl sneaked in by herself?
Looking at that pretty face, Tie Mo couldn't bear to blame her and carried her into the house.
The night passed by in a hurry, and early the next morning, Tie Mo's angry shouts could be heard.
"Nunu, I see you are becoming more and more courageous. I am going to fight, why are you following me?"
"If I don't go back, Nunu will go wherever you go!"
"I...stinky girl, you're just taking advantage of me that I can't bear to beat you, right? When we get back to Zhangbei, let's see how I deal with you!"
Nunu raised her little face with a charming smile, and there was no fear in her eyes.
It didn't take long for Tie Mo to find Zhou Dingshan. After asking, Zhou Dingshan decisively admitted the matter.
"Brother Tie, there's nothing I can do against that girl. He was hiding in the military supply truck behind me, and by the time he was discovered, he had already entered Baideng City."
"How dare you argue that without your acquiescence, how could this girl go into the army and need a car? Humph, I think it's necessary to transfer Little Huang Ying over!"
Mentioning Xiao Huangying, Zhou Dingshan's face suddenly fell a lot, "Brother Tie, we have something to talk about, why are you mentioning that girl?"
Strange to say, Zhou Dingshan was not afraid of anything, but he was afraid of the little yellow warbler.
.....
The Xuanfu soldiers and horses stayed in Baideng for one night, and the next day they rushed to Yanmen Pass. When they reached the border of Shanyin, they received news that a large number of rogue bandits from Yanmen Pass were heading south towards Daizhou.
It is not unusual for rogue bandits to attack Daizhou, but the strange thing is yet to come. For some unknown reason, not long after Wang Ziyong's men arrived in Daizhou, internal strife broke out. Two groups of men actually fought in the north of Daizhou.
Fortunately, Wang Zi used it in time, otherwise both sides would have lost in a fight.
Things were so strange that Hou Shilu, fearing that there might be a fraud, ordered the troops of the Xuanfu to station themselves at Xiaoshikou between Shanxi and Yingzhou.
After Hou Shilu stopped, he quickly sent spies to investigate. It took a whole day before the spies brought back the news.
It is said that Wutai Mountain in the southwest of Daizhou has recently experienced a strange phenomenon, a golden beam of light reaching directly from the sky to the earth. Later, local people searched for the place where the beam disappeared, and unexpectedly found a palm-sized jade stone on top of a towering giant pine.
The jade stone is light green in color and has eight large gilded characters on it.
"The Heavenly Mother gives birth to jade, and if you get it, you will be called the king!"
The meaning of the eight-character mantra could not be more obvious: whoever can get this jade stone will be the one chosen by God.
Youdao is that rumors only stop at the wise. Really wise people will not believe this. However, most people are mediocre people and they really believe in "God's will".
Now, ambitious people naturally have a strong interest in the Heavenly Mother Divine Jade. Even if they don't own it themselves, it would be a great achievement to dedicate it to the higher-ups.
As a result, several bandits heard the news and went out from Yanmen Pass to attack Mount Wutai. On the surface, the bandits were besieging Daizhou, but in fact, the bandits were not interested in Daizhou at all. At the moment, what they were thinking about was not how to rob Daizhou, but how to rob Daizhou.
How to get the Heavenly Mother Divine Jade as soon as possible.
After figuring out what happened, Tie Mo and others were stunned for a while.
I really don’t know who came up with such a vicious idea, which is to make the thieves kill each other.
Moreover, the most frightening thing is that this scheme is an honest conspiracy, and you are not afraid of seeing it through. So what if you see it through? You don’t believe it, but others will. If you say you have no idea about the Heavenly Mother Jade, will others believe it?
Wang Ziyong has more than a dozen soldiers and horses under his command. They are not subordinate to each other and belong to several forces. Each leader has his own little calculation.
The person who used the plan saw that there were many factions within the rebel army, and this piece of Heavenly Mother Divine Jade was the trigger to stir up the internal struggle among the rebel soldiers.
Tie Mo really admired the man who used tricks. He dug a hole around the Heavenly Mother Jade and waited for the thieves to jump in. He would bury as many as they came.
Hou Shilu was originally in a hurry to go to Yanmen Pass, but after learning about the Heavenly Mother Jade, he was no longer in a hurry and felt much more relaxed.
"Since someone has dug a hole, we have to help. In this way, Hei Yunlong and Li Jiasheng, you will join forces and detour to Fanzhi County. Wait patiently in Fanzhi County, as long as there is any movement from Daizhou
, you will go out to fight, and join forces to attack the traitors."
Hei Yunlong and the other two quickly accepted the order, which made Tie Mo feel a little embarrassed.
Didn't you say that I could take the credit and train troops by the way?
Seeing Tie Mo's anxious look, Hou Shilu smiled and said: "You don't have to worry, you have your mission. Do you know Taihe Ridge?"
Tie Mo still knew about Taihe Ridge. It is located southwest of Yanmen Pass. The terrain here is not too dangerous, but it is connected to Juzhu Mountain.
Nodding, Tie Mo said thoughtfully: "General Hou, do you want the last general to ambush in Taihe Ridge and wait for the traitors to come?"
Seeing Tie Mo figure it out in a short time, Hou Shilu said with a satisfied smile: "That's right. If the battle in Daizhou goes well, there will definitely be traitors fleeing to Taihe Ridge. But that road is extremely difficult. I want to escape to Taihe."
There won't be too many people in the ridge. They are fleeing in a hurry and the morale of the thieves is low. It's just the right place for you to train."
"Okay, it won't be too late. The general will go back and prepare in a moment. We will set off for Taihe Ridge today!"
"Well!" Hou Shilu stood up and said seriously, "Before setting off, I would like to ask you one more thing: if the thieves flee to the west, stop them if you can; if you can't, let them go back to Shaanxi."
"Don't worry, Commander-in-Chief, we'll find out later!"
Tie Mo and others knew Hou Shilu's thoughts well. Although the fighting power of the rebels was poor, they still had many people. If the pressure was too tight, these people would go crazy in order to survive, and the Xuanfu's thousands of troops would definitely not get any favors.
...
On the eighteenth day of the seventh month in the first year of Chongzhen, almost all the Yanmen Pass bandits rushed towards Mount Wutai.
At this time, at the top of Daizhou City, an elegant-looking middle-aged scribe looked in the direction of Mount Wutai, with a strange smile on his face.
