Chapter 77 Chongzhen

Hong Chengchou didn't know that Zhou Yanru had already stabbed him behind him. Just when he was gathering in the Forbidden City in Yanjing City was leading troops south.

"Li Zicheng, Luo Rucai, Zhang Xianzhong, Zuo Liangyu, should be killed, should be killed, should be killed..."

In the hall, there were broken porcelain pieces all over the ground, Chongzhen's pale face was filled with a sick flush, and a bit of crazy roar. The news of Yang Wenyue and the defeat of Hu Dawei Runing had already entered the palace.

Seeing Zuo Liangyu flee without fighting again, leaving Yang Wenyue and Hu Dawei alone to support the battle situation, and was defeated and killed. In the eyes of Emperor Chongzhen, Zuo Liangyu and Li Zicheng were classified into the same level.

Wang Chengen knelt on the ground, bursting with tears in his face: "Long live to take care of his health. If Zuo Liangyu was injured by the bandits of Li and Zhang, the old slave would be very guilty."

Chongzhen sat down dejectedly, stayed for a moment, and picked up the Tang newspaper transferred by the Ministry of War. Once Runing was broken, there was no Ming army in southwest Henan. Li Zicheng went south to Xiangyang. Zuo Liangyu sent troops to arrest ships in Xiangfan, preparing to follow the Han River to avoid the rebel army and enter Wuchang...

Perhaps when he saw this Tang Zhuo, Zuo Liangyu had already returned to Wuchang.

"I have a great Ming Dynasty and a vast world, how could I end up with today's situation? The arrogant soldiers and generals are trapped inside and outside, and they have no power to fight back against the thieves and slaves?" Chongzhen looked at Wang Chengen on the ground, as if he was asking himself again.

The Ming army was able to defeat the bandits again and again earlier, but in the past two years, they have been defeated repeatedly. As for Jianlu, there is no need to say much more. Since his grandfather's time, the Ming army has been like a weasel, and a nest is worse than a nest.

One defeat after another made him reluctant to recall it. Fortunately, he invested countless money and grain in Liao every year.

Now even Li Zicheng is in power. Once Runing is defeated, there will be no officers and soldiers in the entire southern Henan. The bandits will sweep across northern Hubei. The bandits can't call Li Zicheng this way. They have already held a province.

A feeling of extreme depression surged into the heart of Emperor Chongzhen. The ambitions that he had inherited the throne had been wiped out by the hard work, disappointment and pain over the years.

There were another pile of memorials on his imperial case, including Hong Chengchou, Ma Chengming (Governor Yongping), Pan Yongtu (Governor Shuntian) and others' apology. More of them were impeachment of Hong Chengchou and others.

Jianlu entered the border for more than two months but still could not be cured. This was only a sin of Hong Chengchou and others.

Chongzhen was in a bad mood, but he didn't want to read the memoirs, and his face became more and more gloomy. But at least his emotions calmed down. Seeing Emperor Chongzhen's mood gradually calmed down, Wang Chengen waved to two little eunuchs and asked them to clean up.

Wang Chengen waited for the young eunuch to clean up and whispered to Chongzhen: "Long live, do you want to have some snacks..."

Emperor Chongzhen waved his hand and now he didn't want to do anything or move anything. He just wanted to be quiet, but when he closed his eyes, it was the Ming Dynasty with smoke everywhere. How could he calm down? Although he was calm on the surface, he was really angry in his heart...

Wang Chengen was a rare kind eunuch, or he was the duty. Since the emperor was unwilling to speak, he stood by the side without saying a word. But not long after, there was a burst of urgent footsteps outside, and a eunuch came hurriedly, saying that Zhang Guowei, the Minister of War, asked for a meeting, and there was an urgent reply.

Chongzhen's heart trembled again. The recent urgent reports from the Ministry of War were all bad news, which made him almost unwilling to read their memorials. However, he was the emperor and the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and he had no room for shirkness.

"It is said that Zhang Guowei will meet with you."

Zhang Guowei ran in quickly and said straight after saluting: "Your Majesty, good news, good news. Governor of Qilu Wang Guobin Denglai Zeng Ying jointly reported that after Zheng Zhilong surrendered to Xiao Yuanying, the army defended Ziyang, Qufu, and Zou County. Now the army has stopped Jianlu's army from the south..."

There are many words in the memorial, but the general meaning is that.

Chongzhen could not hide his surprise, "Give me a memorial." A bright light was shining in the darkness of the sky. It shouldn't be too dazzling. Look at the Zheng family's military training method that was sandwiched in the memorial. Wang Zeng and the two of them skipped the silver rewards and silver rewards, and did not mention the military discipline and rules. They only talked about the benefits of guns and cannons. They used the fixed charge powder to tell Ming, muskets, tiger squats cannons and grenades, and they could resist the Jianlu soldiers.

Emperor Chongzhen looked very happy. "Zheng Zhilong is really a good person. If he abides by the law, he will be better than the good generals of ancient times."

Wang Guobin and Zeng Ying said in the memorial that as long as Hong Chengchou could restrain the Qing army on the north road, the Qing army on the south road would be worry-free, and the matter of Jianlu entering the frontier this time had come to an end. Even when Jianlu's troops were frustrated and had no choice but to return north, as long as the troops from the north and south were properly dispatched, Jianlu could still suffer a considerable loss. This made Emperor Chongzhen feel as if he had taken a dose of peace of mind and suddenly felt relieved.

Emperor Chongzhen immediately no longer blamed Hong Chengchou for "observing the enemy without moving", but instead recognized Hong Chengchou's role. Thus, he immediately issued a decree to Hong Chengchou, so that he must take Abatai to be imprisoned.

The latter felt as helpless as if he had eaten the order from the fast horses in the capital.

Not to mention the time and time of this decree, just Abatai is going to lead his troops south. How can he stop the troops in his hands?

I'm afraid that Wang Tingchen could obey his orders and fight with the Qing army for a while. The rest... If he really has combat effectiveness, why did he choose Bai Guangen to match Cao Bianjiao as the vanguard of the army and "chasing" the Qing army?

The latter suffered a severe blow in the battle of Jixian County, which means that Bai Tengjiao, who was fighting with Bai Guangen's team, was killed. The remaining soldiers of his troops were swallowed by Bai Guangen in one bite. This way, his paper strength was very good.

Hong Chengchou did not expect them to be arrogant, but it was difficult to win a battle, but it was not easy to defeat a battle?

When the enemy comes and goes, when the enemy goes and chases me, we will give full play to the tactics of candy.

The mission of Cao Bai and his two men was not to really fight with the Qing army, but to make Abatai's advance not too easy. The Qing army, which always maintained a fighting attitude, would definitely go much slower than the Qing army in a large marching state.

Now Abatai leads the main force of the Qing army to Dongping, and Cao Bai and the others lead their troops to Anshan Town. But it is Anshan Town. They will not go further before the Qing army continues to move south.

At the same time, the governor of Qilu, Wang Guobin, and the governor of Denglai, Zeng Ying, also received the order of Emperor Chongzhen, but urged the two to increase their troops in Yanzhou.

The two responded completely differently to this. Wang Guobin ignored Emperor Chongzhen's will, but Zeng Ying ordered Dengzhou General Huang Yinen to lead thousands of Denglai Minjun into Qingzhou.

Brother Zhang Guang and Zhang Tong supported each other to the edge of the camp and sat on the ground. The other Denglai Minjun were like their brothers, as tired as dogs, and lay there, lying and sitting there, panting heavily, and did not feel the cold wind blowing cold at all.

"Brother, I can't stand it anymore, I can't stand it anymore. These Nan barbarians are going to torture us to death..." Zhang Tong sighed while pounding his thighs.

Zhang Guangze regarded this as if he had never heard of it. Zhang Tong said this dozens of times, but he had never left. Is it easy to find a place where you can eat a full meal in the world?

"It's time to eat..."

Zhang Tong didn't need his brother to respond to him. His mouth was like the old lady's foot binding cloth, and he said that his teacher had endless things to say.

Until a gong sounded, and then someone shouted. Zhang Tong, who had just said that he had been tortured to death, was immediately resurrected with full blood, got up from the ground, and ran to the cafeteria at a high speed.

Zhang Guang is still accustomed to it.

Although they were tormenting during training in the Denglai Minjun, as long as they could have enough food, how many people left?

Militia rushed to the cafeteria. They lined up in a long line according to the rules of the establishment, and looked at the steaming row of big pots with greedily eyes, and the wooden barrels next to them were piled with pointed corn flour cakes.

Zhang Guang didn't feel like he swallowing and spitting. The yellow noodles cake was so fragrant. I don't know what kind of food it was. He had planted the land he had been growing for more than ten years, but he didn't recognize it.

...

In Dongping Prefecture.

"Mr. Junta has met Mr. Beile."

"Zunta, why are you here to meet me?" Abatai didn't like him because Zunta was Gushan Ezhen of Zhengbai Banner, and was a general under Dorgon. Moreover, when he first entered the pass to fight Jixian, the dispatch was out of order and almost made a big mistake.

"I'm going to take hundreds of soldiers and hide in the dark. When Nikan's army passes by, he will rob and kill his subsequent grain team. If Nikan loses food, how dare you chase after me again the Eight Banners and Brave?" Junta lowered his eyebrows and looked at him.

Abatai immediately understood the meaning of Quintama, which was to make meritorious service and atone for sins. "Okay, this method is good, Benbeile will allow you. But you have also figured it out for me. If this matter is defeated, what will happen to you? Prince Rui will not be able to protect you at that time."

Abatai didn't hide his attitude of watching the show, "You decided on it, and you know the difficulties in it. You can go down and prepare."

Whether this matter is successful or not is beneficial to Abatai.
