Emperor Chongzhen remembers very clearly, the arrangement of fate, Mr. suddenly appeared in front of him, it was on the first day of March last year.

Now it has only been a little more than a year, but Daming is almost completely new.

At that time last year, the Battle of Songjin had just ended, and the imperial army was wiped out, not to mention that he almost thought that Hong Chengchou's thief would die. It's really a loss that I have always trusted him, but the result is that I surrendered Jianyu without saying a word, and also helped Jianyu to give advice, and finally plotted to seize the Ming Dynasty.

At that time, if he was paid tribute to him with such fanfare, the face of the great tomorrow would be thrown on the ground again, right?

At the same time, the situation in Kannai was also very bad. That Li Zicheng dog thief broke through Luoyang and killed King Fu; Attacking Kaifeng again, the Central Plains, the imperial court has lost control.

Over there, Fengyang, the central capital, was threatened by the thieves of Zhang Xianzhong's department, and Huguang and other places in the world's granary were also ravaged by them. The general soldiers who were sent out to suppress the thieves were more than one pit, and they did not listen to the orders of the court, and they were more able to harm the people than the thieves, and there was more than one governor who was killed by them.

In this way, even if you don't watch the magical documentary brought by Mr., you actually know that the death of the Ming Dynasty is not far away!

However, as soon as Mr. arrived in Daming, the situation immediately improved rapidly!

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen smiled.

first took down a few slaves and maids that he usually trusts so much, and he really knows people and faces, but he doesn't know his heart! In such a grim situation, I don't know how to help myself share my worries, but I am still making a lot of personal wealth!

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen didn't regret that he directly named Mr. Xingguo in one breath! This is what Xingguo Gong deserves!

rectify the factory guard, take the dynasty seriously, recommend talents, adjust the national policy of Liao, and dig out the cancer of the eight major Jin merchants; even led the troops to the battle, defeated the million-strong army of thieves, and saved Kaifeng; went south to Huguang, defeated the eight kings and the five battalions of the left and other thieves, and stabilized the granary of the world; Then, he rushed to Shu non-stop, and even did not hesitate to go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire to save Chengdu Mansion, and once again defeated the coalition of rebels and thieves, and stabilized the situation in Sichuan.

In addition, he also selflessly contributed cornucopy-like formulas such as glass, cement, shuttle, and spinning machine, and also vigorously promoted sweet potatoes, potatoes, and so on......

Emperor Chongzhen was a little excited when he thought of this, if it wasn't for Mr., and those civil officials would have the opportunity to stand in the court and compare blindly?

But also, they don't care about this, at most, they can change the emperor, and they can continue to be their courtiers and enjoy their glory and wealth!

Thinking like this, Emperor Chongzhen felt more and more that Zhang Mingwei was so precious to him!

So, he simply wrote all the things in the court, together with the original recital, and went to Chengdu publicly, telling Zhang Mingwei that he was open and honest and absolutely trusted Zhang Mingwei. In the court, who has played what kind of right, you can see for yourself, and if you want to clean them up when you look back, you can also have a goal.

Those officials in the court, they never expected that Emperor Chongzhen would come with such a hand, and they were all a little dumbfounded.

Originally, they thought that even if Emperor Chongzhen would not listen to them for the time being, they would scatter some sand into Emperor Chongzhen's heart. The result was good, and they were named to the Xingguo Gong.

They may not be afraid of Emperor Chongzhen, but Xingguo Gong is not only the commander of the army, but also the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and there are precedents for dealing with court officials, regardless of size.

The former celebrant eunuch Wang Dehua, the former imperial horse supervisor palm seal eunuch Wang Zhixin, the former Jinyi guard commander Luo Yangxing, the former cabinet chief assistant Zhou Yanru, the former military department Shangshu Chen Xinjia, the original Chengguo Gong from the time of Chengzu......

Anyone who takes down one of them is a great achievement. However, these people were all killed by Xingguo Gong alone. Which garlic are they compared to these people?

Thinking about it this way, many civil and military officials who have played it can't sleep. In addition to regretting the performance, many people even felt that it was no longer safe in the court, so they asked for an expatriate order, and even simply returned to their hometowns.

………………

Regarding these situations in the court, when Zhang Mingwei received those things from Emperor Chongzhen, he also received information from Chen Yuanyuan about the collection of Jinyiwei. In this regard, he threw it aside like garbage, and had no time to pay attention to these moths for the time being.

However, for Emperor Chongzhen, Zhang Mingwei is still grateful, and feels that he is still worth it to rejuvenate the Ming Dynasty with such dedication.

So, he put more thoughts on the affairs of Shudi.

On the side of Shudi, although Zuo Liangyu was not caught in the battle in Chengdu, he also collapsed and continued to run with Hou Sui, not knowing where he went.

On Li Zicheng's side, while rectifying the interior, he even sent troops to invade the Chengdu Plain, unwilling for Zhang Mingwei to settle the prisoners here and grow grain.

However, Zhang Mingwei has been prepared for this. After the recovery of other cities on the Chengdu Plain, cavalry troops were stationed at various points.

The thieves under Li Zicheng were beaten back as soon as they entered the plain.

Zhang Mingwei also sent an order to Sun Chuanting, no longer just to defend the area of Jianmen Pass, but has launched a counteroffensive and recaptured the entire Baoning Mansion. and flanked with Zhang Mingwei's army on both sides, and also recovered Tongchuan Prefecture, completely cutting off Li Zicheng's road to attack the Chengdu Plain.

Now, Sun Chuanting's side is dividing troops to attack Kuizhou Mansion and Shunqing Mansion, but according to the news, the thieves in these two places have resisted strongly, and there has not been much progress for a while.

Zhang Mingwei can also understand this.

Kuizhou Mansion is Sichuan's road from the Yangtze River to the outside world, and Li Zicheng will definitely not give up. And Shunqing Mansion is Chongqing's barrier in the north, if it is lost, then Chongqing will be directly exposed to the frozen heroes of the imperial court, and Li Zicheng will definitely not give up.

It's easy to understand the fierce resistance in these two places.

Zhang Mingwei has no plans to recover Chongqing Mansion for the time being, as long as Li Zicheng does not run, he will not really send troops, but just let Li Dingguo and them stick to Li Zicheng's soldiers and horses.

At this time, Zhang Mingwei's focus was on the territory of Tusi in the northwest and southwest of Chengdu.

These places are all mountains, forests, plateaus or something, and they can be said to be places of poor mountains and bad waters. Not only is it not conducive to cavalry combat, but it is also difficult for ordinary armies to advance and suppress.

Under normal circumstances, it is estimated that it will take several years to deal with the remnants of the toast here. Because Tusi is not stupid, he will not wait there to fight the court officials and soldiers.

No, Zhang Mingwei thought of a way, at this time, according to the information of the prisoners that had been registered before, most of the prisoners in these places were concentrated.

He didn't bother and came forward in person, one to pacify the division, and the other to speak.

No, Zhang Mingwei is now in front of the captives of the Lizhou Pacification Division, in front of more than 1,000 people, and said to them: "The imperial court's resettlement of the people, presumably you all knew about it during this time. I can make two more points with you here. ”

After the end of the war in Chengdu, while collecting information about the prisoners, the prisoners were reorganized, a small part was incorporated into the army, some were reorganized into the Tuntian Army, and some were ready to be put back.

However, no matter what part it is, there are Jinyi Guards who give them propaganda about the national policy of the imperial court. It can be said that during the period when there is no war, the busiest person is the captain of the Jinyi Guard. It's not that he's busy because of arresting people and raiding homes, but he's busy with his mouth.

The reason why the content of the work is different from before, who made them meet Zhang Mingwei, the chief officer who is different from any previous commander of the Jinyi Guard.

At this time, these captives were quietly listening to Xingguo Gong's speech.

"The emperor wants all the people of the Ming Dynasty, regardless of nationality, as long as they are the people of the Ming Dynasty, they can live and work in peace and contentment, no longer starve and freeze, and there will be no more military disasters. The new policy of the imperial court, I think you are already clear. I can add one more here. ”

The propaganda of the past few months has not been ineffective, and these captives belonging to the toast are listening attentively.

"The Tusi rebellion, the court will never tolerate it. From now on, wherever there is a rebellion, there will be no more Tusi, and they will all be directly governed by the imperial court. The land of Tusi will also be returned to the imperial court. When Zhang Mingwei said this, his voice was a little louder, and he emphatically emphasized, "When the imperial court collects the Tusi territory in the future, as long as you, including others, have merit, you will be rewarded with land according to the merit. ”

"After you go back, you can tell your relatives and friends the good news, if you tie up the head of the toast and sacrifice it to the court before the arrival of the imperial army, you will naturally have the greatest merit and the most reward. If not, after the arrival of the imperial army, you will make a meritorious contribution to help the imperial army quell the rebellion of the Tusi Chiefs as soon as possible, and the credit will be enough for you to get enough land to stop starving and freezing. ”

Saying this, seeing that the eyes of these Tusi Territory captives lit up one by one, Zhang Mingwei knew that this trick learned from later generations would definitely be effective. After all, they were under the hands of Toast, and they were just serfs.

And among these captives who are ready to be put back, they have been screened, and all those who have something to do with Tusi will not be released, and those who can be put back are only those oppressed serfs.

Zhang Mingwei continued to say loudly to them: "And I have already arranged that in all areas directly under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, whether there is money or not, children can be sent to the official school to study, and one day in the future, your children will be able to go out of the mountains." They have a chance, and they can also take you out of the mountains to live a better life! ”

Give them hope, and give hope to the next generation, this is the biggest temptation. Zhang Mingwei doesn't believe that in such a situation, there will still be serfs working for the toast!

As long as there are no serfs, just rely on Tusi and a few cronies under them, that is, grasshoppers after the autumn, and they won't be able to jump for a few days!
