Chapter Seventy-Six: The Fifth Battalion of the Revolution
Jingshi, Qianqing Palace. The night has been three watches, and the Qianqing Palace at this time is still brightly lit, and Chongzhen is still busy, watching the twists and turns that are being played in various places.
Since ascending the throne, Chongzhen has changed the practice of not having an early dynasty for forty years since the Wanli years. Listen to politics in the Qianqing Palace every day, rain or shine, and less than a year after succeeding to the throne, Chongzhen has lost a lot of weight.
"Presumptuous, presumptuous, this Wang Feng is getting more and more bold now, if I don't treat him again, he won't go against the sky. "On the dragon seat, Chongzhen was furious with the Ru Yami music he had just received!
"The emperor is angry, the dragon body is important!" Wang Chengen is a very smart person, he received a lot of money from Wang Feng, and of course he had to give Wang Feng a little information, but he never asked directly about what he wanted to know, and that kind of person had only one outcome, which was death. And Wang Chengen is obviously not that kind of person.
"Chengen, do you think this Wang Feng should be killed?" Chongzhen, who had always been very suspicious, suddenly asked such a seemingly inconsequential question.
"Your Majesty, it doesn't matter whether this Wang Feng should be killed or not, the important thing is that the emperor thinks he should be killed or not, the emperor you say he should die, then he should be killed, you say he shouldn't die, then he shouldn't die, what do you think, emperor?" Wang Chengen replied speciously.
Chongzhen stared at the minion beside him, he knew himself too well, he always understood what he was thinking, "Haha, you old fox." ”
"Haha, the emperor has won the prize!" Wang Chengen laughed with Chongzhen, in fact, Wang Chengen's brain was sweating all the time just now, he knew his master too well, just now maybe his head was not on his head in an instant!
"This Wang Feng is too unpresentable, I asked him to train elite soldiers for me, he was good, he didn't stay in Anqing for me, he actually ran to Luoyang, and I arrested the son of King Fu, and knocked Uncle Fu Wang hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. Tell me how to explain to Uncle Fu Wang. ”
Although Chongzhen kept complaining that Wang Feng had caught the son of King Fu, he was very happy in his heart, and he could even say that he was a little gloating, Chongzhen could never forget his Uncle Fuwang, it was his own good Uncle Fu Wang who almost took the throne of his father, and he may never forget his childhood life, even if he is now on the throne as emperor, he is not willing to give up any opportunity to fight.
"Wang Chengen, order Jinyiwei to arrest Wang Feng and send him to Beijing. Although Chongzhen was still a little glad that Wang Feng had hit King Fu hard, but considering that in order to appease the opinions of the vassal kings, Chongzhen still decided to arrest Wang Feng and send him to Jingshi to sharpen his heart.
"Yes, Your Majesty. Wang Chengen replied respectfully.
Chongzhen is very satisfied with Wang Chengen, a minion, only he will faithfully implement even if he disagrees with his opinion.
"Report, Your Majesty, the governor of the three sides, Lord Hong, is in an urgent hurry for eight hundred miles. As soon as Chongzhen sat down, a little eunuch hurriedly ran to the Qianqing Palace, holding up the newspaper in his hand.
Without waiting for Chongzhen on the dragon chair to speak, Wang Chengen took over the fold from the little eunuch's hand, and Chongzhen has always attached great importance to the twists and turns of the three sides, no matter how urgent it is, Chongzhen will definitely deal with it as soon as possible.
"Chen Hong Chengchou worships the emperor's majesty from afar, from March, relying on the emperor's majesty, the minister led 30,000 elite soldiers to rebel for more than four months, the minister lived up to the emperor's high expectations, and finally leveled most of the rogue in Shaanxi.
Now the Liukou is under the leadership of the high thief and the Li thief, and the soldiers are divided into two roads, all the way under the leadership of the high thief, the soldiers point to Henan and Huaiqing. The other way crossed the Huaishui under the leadership of Zhang Thief, coerced Chuzhou, and had the posture of besieging Fengyang, the capital of China. ”
"What?" As soon as Wang Chengen read this, Chongzhen couldn't help but shoot the case, which surprised him too much, originally Hong Chengchou led his troops to level the Liukou in Shaanxi Province made Chongzhen very happy, but as soon as he heard that Zhang Thief led his troops to rush to Zhongdu, his expression changed greatly.
Fengyang, the central capital, is now Fengyang County, Anhui Province. Fengyang, the capital of the Ming Dynasty, is the place where Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty made his career and is the hometown of the Taizu, so from the time of the Ming Taizu has the idea of setting the capital of Fengyang, although later it was still the capital of Jinling, but in the Ming Dynasty, Fengyang still occupies a very important position and is respected as the capital.
Compared with Gao Yingxiang's march into the Central Plains, Chongzhen was more worried about attacking Fengyang's Zhang Xianzhong Department, Fengyang has the imperial tomb of his old Zhu family, in order not to suppress the dragon vein, Fengyang has not built a city wall, and there are not many soldiers and horses left, if Fengyang is broken, then he Chongzhen will be too guilty!
"What else does Hong Chengchou say in his recital?" Chongzhen asked anxiously.
In order to prevent the high thieves from disturbing the Central Plains, Lord Hong asked the emperor to approve him to lead his troops to suppress the high thieves, and at the same time, in order to prevent the loss of the middle, Lord Hong implored the emperor to mobilize troops and horses to kill the five battalions of the left of the revolution. Wang Chengen closed the fold in his hand.
"What is the situation of the Fifth Battalion of the Left Movement?" Chongzhen has never understood the Fifth Battalion of the Left Movement mentioned many times in Hong Chengchou's compromise.
"Your Majesty, according to the Jinyi Guard, the Fifth Battalion of Gezuo is a rogue active in the Dabie Mountains, consisting of five groups of men and horses, namely 'Lao Hui - Ma Shouying. ''Ge Li Eye-He Yilong', 'Zuo Jin Wang-He Jin', 'Zhishi Wang-Liu Xiyao', 'Zhengshi Wang-Luo Yangyang'
These five people were originally rogue in the mountains, because they saw that most of the officers and soldiers were transferred to the north, so they became big in the Dabie Mountain area, and the thieves claimed to have 200,000 soldiers and horses, in the eyes of the minions, it was just exaggerated words, and the thieves only had 100,000 horses at most. ”
"There are a lot of 100,000 horses, Dabie Mountain, Dabie Mountain, Dabie Mountain. Chongzhen's mouth kept repeating the name of the place.
"Your Majesty, Dabie Mountain is Wang Feng's defensive ground, and it is not far from Anqing Town. Seeing that Chongzhen kept chattering, Wang Chengen, who was waiting next to him, reminded him in a low voice.
"Your Majesty, do you want to let Wang Feng go in to suppress?" Wang Chengen, who had received Wang Feng's silver, spoke for Wang Feng.
"Where is Zuo Liangyu? Isn't Dabie Mountain also his defense area? Doesn't he keep boasting about how powerful he is? Ask him to lead the troops to destroy the five battalions of the left for me!" Chongzhen ignored Wang Chengen, but instead ordered the general of Huguang General Zuo Liangyu.
"Your Majesty, have you forgotten? Last month, you didn't let General Zuo lead the troops to support Lord Hong, and now he is listening to orders under Lord Hong's account!"
"Your Majesty, do you see?"
"I'm tired, let's go rest!" Chongzhen ignored Wang Chengen on the side.
"Wang Feng, Wang Feng, why did you do you a lot this time. Haha, haha!"
