Chapter 243: The Offering Thief Who Gets Things Everywhere (Plus Change)
After two days of censorship, Zuo Mengeng, Xu Yong and other dozens of generals of the left army were all arrested and tied up in front of Zhu Cihong.
Zhu Cihong's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he ordered all the generals of the left army who participated in the rebellion to be executed, even if they surrendered later!
He also ordered the territory of Jiujiang Province to be cleaned up, so that the rebels' fish from slipping through the net would cause harm to the surrounding area, and now he can kill one by one.
When the news came out, the entire Jiujiang Mansion was in a sensation, and when the generals of the Left Army were killed, the people who came to watch were endless, and these Left Army had plagued the people for a long time, and the people had long hated it, and now they were exterminated by the crown prince, and everyone applauded.
The people who came to reward the Tianwu army continued, and there were also some gentry and heroes.
In Jiujiang City, thousands of days of martial forces stood solemnly, all the soldiers were wearing iron armor, and the fire guns on their shoulders were dense like a forest.
The civil and military officials of Jiangxi and Huguang beside Zhu Cihong were sweating on their foreheads and were a little at a loss, because today, the crown prince wanted to execute the rebel generals in front of everyone to set an example.
Zuo Mengeng, who was sitting in the prisoner car, turned pale and trembled, and he had long since lost his former domineering.
Nearly 100 generals of the Left Army who were gagged and tied up were even more screaming, crying bitterly, and wanted to repent, but Zhu Cihong was unmoved.
He wants to use this kind of ruthless suppression to make all the generals who are rebellious or thieves feel frightened, and they dare not take another step beyond the thunder pool!
As soon as three o'clock in the afternoon, Zhu Cihong threw down the fire sign order on the spot, and nearly 100 generals of the Left Army fell to the ground, and the bright red blood stung everyone's nerves.
The 10,000 Heavenly Martial Army wiped out the so-called 200,000 Zuo Liangyu Department with a thunderous force, which made all the generals of the Ming Dynasty feel frightened, especially the five provinces inspected by Zhu Cihong, and no one of the domineering generals dared to challenge the imperial court.
.......
What happened in Jiujiang Mansion quickly reached Zhang Xianzhong, and after hearing the news, Zhang Xianzhong almost laughed, and after some secret discussions with Luo Rucai and others, he decided to make a big deal!
Soon after, Zhu Cihong, who had arrived at Nanchang Mansion, received urgent reports from various prefectures in Jiangxi at the same time, saying that he had been attacked by Zhang Xianzhong and asked the crown prince to send troops to rescue.
All of a sudden, the whole Jiangxi was in an emergency.
Zhu Cihong frowned, and the local branches in the emergency were too wide, including Ji'an, Yuanzhou, Jianchang, Fuzhou, Yongxin, Anfu, Nanfeng and other prefectures and counties, it can be said that almost the entire southern part of Jiangxi was attacked, and he couldn't figure out where Zhang Xianzhong's main force was now, so he could only wait for the intelligence department's intelligence.
Since Liu Guoneng and Li Wanqing were surrendered, Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai's men and horses were only 60,000 people, and they ran 10,000 or 20,000 during the period, but after Zhang Xianzhong entered Jiangxi, he made strong moves along the way, and the team expanded again in a short period of time.
Now Zhang Xianzhong's only advantage is that there are many people, of course, most of them are a rabble of people, it is okay to scare and scare people, if you really want to fight a tough battle, it is very hanging.
Zhang Xianzhong also knew this very well, so he chose not to fight hard with the officers and soldiers, but to disperse his troops and attack at more points, so as to confuse the officers and soldiers, put the officers and soldiers in a state of tension, and take care of one at the expense of the other.
In this way, Zhang Xianzhong can not only hide the main force of his old battalion, but also grasp the initiative, and take the officers and soldiers by surprise.
I have to say that Zhang Xianzhong's suspicious tactics are good, he uses his own strengths and the shortcomings of the officers and soldiers, and he can become a hero in the troubled times at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and he still has a few brushes.
Huang Degong said: "Your Highness, send the Tianwu Army south to kill them and leave no piece of armor!" ”
Zhu Cihong shook his head and said: "Our army will first hold the troops and wait for the changes, and wait for Jinyiwei and Long Xiang to find out the main position of Zhang Xianzhong's old battalion at night, and then concentrate their forces to encircle and annihilate Zhang Xianzhong in one fell swoop!" As long as the old camp of thieves is defeated, the rest of the rabble will naturally collapse. ”
Zhu Cihong also believes that after the Jiangxi generals go back, they should do better than before, and it is no problem not to take the initiative to defend the city.
Sun Yingyuan said: "Your Highness, you can leave other places alone, but Jianchang Mansion must send someone to rescue." ”
Zhu Cihong was puzzled: "Why? ”
Sun Yingyuan said: "Because King Yi lives there, if Jianchang City is broken and King Yi is killed, the impact will be huge, and I am afraid it will be unfavorable to His Royal Highness......
Zhu Cihong pondered for a moment, recalling some genealogical information about King Yi, King Yi's fief is really Jiangxi Jianchang Mansion, and King Yi's lineage has always been in peace, there are no unruly descendants, which can be called a model for the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Cihong has some impressions of this Zhu Ciqi, the current King Yi should be called Zhu Ciqi, and he is the same generation as himself, he inherited the throne in the ninth year of Chongzhen.
Historically, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Ciwei was supported by the local gentry in Fuzhou as a prisoner, he donated money and contributed to resist the Qing army, but unfortunately he was betrayed and captured, and later was rescued and went to Guangzhou, Guangzhou City was surrendered to the Manchu traitor Shang Kexi broke through the slaughter, Zhu Ciwei was killed.
Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang stipulated that if the vassal king fell and was killed, the local guards and officials would not be able to eat and walk around, Zhu Cihong was the crown prince, even if it would not be affected, it would be greatly affected, you are in Jiangxi, not far from King Yi, if King Yi is killed, who do you blame?
Nanchang Mansion originally also had a vassal king, who was the king of Ning who contributed the most when Ming Chengzu was martyred, but unfortunately this vassal king couldn't think of it, and rebelled in the Zhengde years, and was killed by Wang Yangming, the governor of southern Jiangnan, in just forty-three days.
At that time, Emperor Zhengde, who liked to drive the expedition in person, led the rebel army and had not yet come out of Beizhili, which made him very faceless, and asked Wang Yangming to put King Ning in Poyang Lake, and wait for his own royal expedition to arrest him again, Wang Yangming was helpless, shook his wit, and pulled Zhu Chenhao, the king of Ning, to Nanjing.
Emperor Zhengde drove to Nanjing, and really removed the shackles of Zhu Chenhao, the king of Ning, and released it in the encirclement of the army, and then captured it by cutting drums and beating gold, and put the shackles on King Ning again.
Zhu Cihong thought about it for a while, and felt that King Yi really couldn't make a mistake, so he said: "Huang Degong, you lead the people of the headquarters to rescue Jianchang Mansion, if you don't meet Zhang Xianzhong, leave the people and horses to garrison in Jianchang Mansion, and then lead the troops out of the city to find Zhang Xianzhong's main force, and after finding it, immediately notify all places and work together to encircle Zhang Xianzhong!" ”
Zhu Cihong said again: "Sun Yingyuan, let the army prepare, go south in two days, Huang Degong will take the eastern Fuzhou road in Jiangxi, and we will take the Ji'an road in the west, and sweep the bandits in Jiangxi from north to south!" ”
Huang Degong and Sun Yingyuan hurriedly lined up and said, "The last general will obey the order!" ”
