Chapter Thirty-Six: The Northern War Restarts
In the dark space, three or two rats passed back and forth from time to time, and an oil lamp burned lonely. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info The broken straw gives off an unpleasant smell from time to time.
"Your Excellency, please!" the little official led the way in front of him, reminding everyone behind him to be careful of their steps from time to time.
"Your Excellency is here!" the little servant took out the key and opened the cell door. In the cell, a man with a mantle of hair was sitting alone facing the wall.
"Gao Yingxiang, the adult has come to see you, you still don't see the adult!" Seeing that the man didn't say a word and looked high, the little official lifted the leather whip in his hand.
"Smack!" The man behind the little official grabbed the little official's raised arm, "You go down!
"Yes! Yes!" the little official hurriedly saluted, and ran out in a gray manner.
"You are Gao Yingxiang?"
"Are you Wang Feng?" the man in the prison turned around slowly, and the two looked at each other like this, this was the first time they had met as opponents.
"En!" Wang Feng nodded, for Gao Yingxiang, the opponent, Wang Feng still admired this man from the bottom of his heart. From a Shaanxi peasant ascending to a height, he pulled up a team of hundreds of thousands and fought with the Ming court for several years, and I have to say that this man has a lot to admire.
Gao Yingxiang carefully looked at the man in front of him from top to bottom, this man was a little young and made him unbelievable, he Gao Yingxiang had been more than hundreds of times since he started the army, Yang He, Hong Chengchou, Sun Chuanting which one he had never fought against, but he really couldn't imagine that he would be defeated in the hands of such a young man.
"Are you here to see my joke?" Gao Yingxiang raised his head and looked directly at the man.
Wang Feng shook his head, appreciating losers has never been his Wang Feng's style, his only purpose here is just to have a good chat with this man, "What are you raising troops for?"
"Raise troops?" Gao Yingxiang stood up with difficulty and fiddled with his own drape. "Today's court has no morality, traitorous ministers are in power, natural disasters and man-made disasters are continuous, and the people are not able to make a living. And these corrupt officials and corrupt officials are still squeezing the people's fat and ointment everywhere, what is the use of such a court?"
"Do you know the Tartars outside the gate?" Wang Feng did not take Gao Yingxiang's words, but asked a seemingly unrelated question.
"You mean the group of Tartar soldiers in Shanhaiguan?" Gao Yingxiang has heard more or less about the Tartars outside the pass.
"Do you think these Tartar soldiers can break into the Central Plains?" Wang Feng found a bench and sat down, his eyes fixed on Gao Yingxiang.
"Entering the Central Plains?" Gao Yingxiang's face was stunned. He really didn't think about the Tatar soldiers entering the Central Plains, "Does this have anything to do with me?"
"It's okay, is it really okay?" Wang Feng's tone instantly raised a lot, "Let me tell you, it is you who claim to be the master of the people who have pushed the people into the abyss, and I also told you that if the Ming Dynasty has been mired in infighting, then the Tartar soldiers will enter the Central Plains just around the corner, and then the entire Han people in the Central Plains will become prisoners of the Tartars, and they will force us to keep the same hairstyle as them, and force us to learn their language." The land of the Central Plains will be full of rebellion, slaughter, and all of this is caused by your people. Speaking of this, Wang Feng's language was almost roaring.
In Wang Feng's eyes, these leaders of the rebel army who claim to be the masters of the people are nothing more than a group of ignorant rogues who are desperate for their own glory and wealth, and their so-called uprising is nothing more than replacing another so-called corrupt dynasty with their own dynasty.
"The Tartars enter the customs and the people bleed?" Gao Yingxiang kept muttering these words.
"Think about it!" Wang Feng got up and walked slowly towards the outside of the prison, looking back at Gao Yingxiang in the prison, Wang Feng couldn't help but sigh.
"Good, good, great!" Facing the 800-mile urgent report that Chen Xinjia had just submitted, Chongzhen said three good words in a row.
From the beginning of Chongzhen's succession, the imperial court has not been defeated again and again, either dead or lost the city, and even Fengyang, the land of the emperor's ancestors, has been occupied.
"Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor, this must be the emperor, your diligence has moved the heavens! This is the great victory in Luoyang!" Chen Xinjia is very good at talking, and he bluntly said that all the credit is Chongzhen alone.
"Haha!" Luoyang's victory made Chongzhen's mood instantly better, "Order Yang Sichang to escort Gao Yingxiang back to Beijing, I want to kill this traitor alive in Taimiao!"
"Your Majesty!"
"Why is there anything else Aiqing wants to play?" Seeing Chen Xinjia stumbling, Chongzhen, who was in a good mood, asked more.
Chen Xinjia thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, since the high thief has been broken, the Zhang thief has fled far away, and the Central Plains is peaceful, should the 300,000 troops under Lord Yang Sichang be transferred north?" 300,000 soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were taken to Liaodong by Hong Chengchou, and 300,000 were taken by Yang Sichang to suppress bandits. It can almost be said that Chen Xinjia has no soldiers to adjust now! Now that the Central Plains is a little flat, Chen Xinjia will naturally fight the 300,000 soldiers and horses under Yang Sichang.
"What is the situation in North Korea now?" Chen Xinjia didn't say, Chongzhen almost forgot about North Korea.
"Back to the emperor, the king of Joseon, Li Brown, has been driven to Jeju Island by Dolgon's army, and now the troops are directed at the Ming Dynasty, and Daxingbao and Xingshan have been lost! Lord Hong Chengchou is now defending Jinzhou City, waiting for the imperial court to send reinforcements. Chen Xinjia said stubbornly.
Hearing this, Chongzhen's brows furrowed again, and the joy of the high thief's destruction was diluted a lot at once. In Chongzhen's view, this Tartar is the henchman of the Ming Dynasty, and if the Tartar does not remove the Ming Dynasty, there will be no day of peace.
"Daxingbao and Xingshan are the barriers of Jinzhou and must be recaptured. Tell Hong Chengchou that no matter what he thinks, he must take it back for me. "Chongzhen is still very angry about the gains and losses of Daxingbao and Xingshan. Hong Chengchou's men have nearly 300,000 soldiers and horses, and they can still lose their troops and generals, how can they not make Chongzhen angry.
"Your Majesty, what about the reinforcements?" asked Chen Xinjia cautiously.
"Reinforcements!" Chongzhen pondered, "It is decreed that Yang Sichang will be promoted to the governor of Shaanxi, Gansu, Sichuan, Hu, and Henan provinces, and will be responsible for the conquest of other rogues in the territory, and Wang Feng will be transferred to the left squire of the Nanjing Military Department. Cao Wenzhao, Chen Yongfu, Zu Kuan, Chen Zhibang, and Qin Guozhu led the troops and horses of the headquarters to immediately support Jinzhou City!"
