Chapter 261 The heavens want to punish the ministers, and the ministers will break the sky
"Qin Chuan, a guerrilla minister in Shanxi, reported the great victory of the bandits in Shanxi Pingding Prefecture, repelled the guest army in the prefectures and counties along the way, and hoarded the gentry in Pingding Prefecture."
"Since the ministers entered the guerrilla attack in Shanxi, they have tried their best to be pious for their family and country, and they have to do their best for the people, only seeking peace in the world, the safety and well-being of the people, and even dying."
"Not long ago, the minister received the order of Lord Xu of Futai, rushed to the aid of Pingdingzhou in the starry night, and there was a shortage of food in the army, so he begged for grain from the prefectures and counties along the way according to the order of Futai, but he could not pass the elm times, and he did not give a drop of water after Shouyang."
"The minister is dedicated to the country, thinking of the rampant bandits, the world is devastated and resolutely marched eastward, the soldiers in the army are also bloody, marching on an empty stomach to help hundreds of miles, people are sleepy, horses and lack of food when the grass is exhausted rushed to Pingding City, just when the leader Tuoyangkun, Zhang Fatzi, Xu Bian, Wang Guangen and others are gathering more than 10,000 thieves, besieging Pingding City day and night."
"When the pacification was in jeopardy, the ministers and the officers and soldiers of the three armies worked together, forged ahead alone, fought bloody battles to the death, defeated more than 10,000 thieves in one fell swoop, captured the first fat man of the Kui, beheaded Tuoyangkun, and allowed to change, beheaded more than 2,000 thieves, captured 5,000 alive, and solved the danger of Pingding City in time."
"In this battle, the soldiers under the minister's account were seriously killed and wounded, and they were hungry, sleepy, dead, wounded, and exhausted, but after this battle, the city gate of Pingding City was closed, and the ministers begged for food in the city, but they only got eighty stone of grain, which was not enough for the soldiers for five days."
"When the ministers heard the news, they were sad and angry from their hearts for days, and they couldn't help themselves, and the soldiers were also in an uproar, and they couldn't make a noise, thinking that my 1,500 men would be full of blood and hundreds of dead and wounded at the cost of hundreds of brothers and sisters, and they would not seek retribution from the springs, but only the grain of the moon to advance and retreat, but the Pingding City was perfunctory with only eighty stone grains, humiliating the ministers with a thousand good men, and insulting the ministers with hundreds of dead and wounded siblings!"
"In addition to grief and indignation, the minister heard that Leping County was captured by thieves and left thousands of hungry and distressed people, and the granaries of the gentry in Pingding City were full but stood by and watched, hoarding and hoarding, colluding with officials to make profits with soaring food prices, and accumulating families with starvation, so that thousands of innocent people in Leping County starved to death in the wilderness, Leping City was like a ghost domain, and the people of a city died tragically!"
"The minister looked up to the sky and asked, the Ming Dynasty has thousands of miles of mountains and rivers and thousands of fertile fields, why did it become a hell on earth where hungry people are everywhere and starve for thousands of miles? Why did hundreds of thousands of people rise up and plunder everywhere? ”
"Without him, only the powerful landlords of the country gentry clan occupy all the fertile land in the world, but they do not open warehouses to help the people due to natural disasters for many years, only hoarding and accumulating wealth with thousands of starving bodies, and glorifying the clan for thousands of generations!"
"The minister should not ask every day, only the angry iron horse to pacify the city, patrol the hunt on behalf of the sky, kill the traitor and eliminate the evil, punish the unscrupulous officials and businessmen, and also pacify the Langlang Qiankun of Dingzhou, and return the world to a peaceful and prosperous world."
"If the heavens want to punish the ministers, the ministers will break the sky, and if the earth wants to bury the ministers, the ministers will cover the earth."
"Minister, Qin Chuan is respectfully playing."
This letter was written by Yan Zhang under the guidance of Qin Chuan.
I have to say that Yan Zhang's words are compared with Song Zhiting's words, and they are sprinkled, not to mention the dragon flying and the phoenix dancing, but the words are sonorous and powerful.
"Lord Yan, thank you."
Qin Chuan was very satisfied with this letter, and arched his hand at Yan Zhang with a smile, and then swaggered out of the Zhizhou Yamen.
Yan Zhang's face was ugly, and he sat on the chair with his buttocks, unable to speak.
……
The screams, screams and cries in the city of Pingding were endless, and they were the mournful cries of the large families whose homes had been raided.
Li Dingliang and Liu Youzhu copied a total of 12 large families and merchants, some of whom were local gentry in Pingding City, and some of whom ran into the city from outside to avoid the old wealth of the landlords.
Without exception, ninety percent of the money and grain were stolen, and only one percent was left to prevent them from starving to death.
In addition to raiding the house, Guan Dijun also cut off more than 100 heads, including the gentry who were rich and unkind, and the ruffians in the township.
Qin Chuan only did these two things, because he didn't have that much time, and this was not his territory.
He only stayed in Pingding City for one night, and before dawn the next day, he led Emperor Guan's army to open the city gate, drove thousands of vehicles of all kinds, and headed in the direction of Luliang Mountain in the west.
He looted more than 12,000 stone of grain, more than 50,000 taels of silver, more than 3,000 taels of gold, as well as other gold and silver jewelry, jade and antiques.
The mules, horses, and all kinds of vehicles of the dozen or so large families were also taken away by him and used to carry grain.
He also recruited more than 1,000 displaced and poor people in the city, helped transport grain back, and took them to Jingle Lan County for resettlement by the way.
More than 4,000 prisoners of exile who remained outside the city also joined the grain transport procession, several thousands, thousands of mule-horse carts, chicken carts, and thousands of camel-loaded mules and horses.
Fortunately, there are no rogues in this area, and fortunately, Qin Chuan is notorious, and the small stream of rogues, thieves, **, etc. along the way, as soon as they saw the "Qin" character flag, they heard that this was something that annoyed Qin Chuan, so they didn't dare to move.
There are a lot of hungry people along the way, Qin Chuan does not fall behind, and they are all collected according to the order, but all the hungry people must be five steps away from the others, otherwise there is no food, and all the prisoners must also be five steps away from the Guan Emperor's army, otherwise there will be no forgiveness.
On the day he left Pingding City, Qin Chuan sent Li Dingliang to lead a hundred Guan Emperor troops to transport the still alive Zhang Fatzi, Tuo Yangkun and the heads of Xu Bian, as well as the heads of more than 2,000 Liukou, to Lu'an Mansion to Xu Dingchen.
At the same time, he sent a fast horse to find Cao Wenzhao, handed over the letter and two hundred taels of silver to Liu Zhongyun, who was in charge of the army in his army, and asked the latter to send the fast horse day and night to send the Song Shu to the Beijing division and go directly to Chongzhen's desk.
……
The 400-mile road from Pingdingzhou to Loufu took more than 10 days to reach its destination.
On the day Qin Chuan returned to Lou Fu, Zhu Youzhen in the Forbidden City also received a snowflake-like recital.
One was presented by Shao Anxian, the governor of Pingding Prefecture, one was submitted by Yan Zhang, the commander of Jining Soldiers, and one was submitted by Xu Dingchen, the governor of Shanxi.
The last letter was written by Qin Chuan, which was handed over by Liu Zhongyun.
The rest was impeached by local officials in Shanxi and many officials in the DPRK and China.
Zhu Youzhen was furious, overturned the imperial case, and scolded outside the palace.
scolded Qin Chuan for being bold and ambitious, grabbing grain everywhere to recruit hungry people, and the blind man knew what he was going to do.
scolded those squires and gentlemen, full of morality and righteousness, but when the people were in dire straits, they only cared about hoarding goods and making a fortune.
Wang Chengen and Cao Huachun lay on the ground, no matter how Zhu Youzhen scolded angrily, they didn't dare to move.
Zhu Youzhen was tired of scolding, and his anger came out, and finally sat back in the chair, frowned and pondered for a moment, and suddenly asked, "What do you think, who can kill Qin Chuan?" Cao Daban, you speak first. ”
Cao Huachun's body stiffened slightly, and he hurriedly responded: "Return to the emperor, Shanxi Xu Dingchen, Xuanda Zhang Zongheng can all be, but it is not easy to kill Qin Chuan, it is by no means an overnight success, you have to think long-term, or plan slowly, or use clever plans." ”
Zhu Youzhen frowned slightly, cast his eyes on Wang Chengen on the side, and said, "Wang Banban, what do you think?" ”
"Returning to the emperor, the minister thinks that what Cao Gong said is reasonable, Jinglelan County, where Qinchuan is located, is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and his soldiers have exceeded 5,000.
"In addition to Xu Dingchen and Zhang Zongheng, the minister thinks that Shaanxi Hong Chengchou, Yansui Chen Qiyu can also take on this important responsibility."
After listening to Wang Chengen's words, Zhu Youzhen leaned on the back of the chair, frowning slightly and falling into contemplation.
……
At this moment, Qin Chuan, who had entered the blacklist of the Ming Emperor, was squatting outside Mengjiazhuang, smoking a pipe and pointing fingers at a group of workers.
Less than a month after his expedition this time, Yan Sanqi had already set up a steel bar factory and produced a lot of steel bars.
Mengjiazhuang City Wall ...... It should be said that the city wall of Montenegro Fort can be started.
Nowadays, workers are transporting all kinds of materials, such as steel bars, cement, sand and gravel, etc., and building a city wall with reinforced concrete is a big project, and the materials needed are ...... In fact, Qin Chuan didn't know how much he needed, he only knew that the more prepared the better.
The foundations of the city wall had been dug up, all the floating mud on top had been dug up, and the yellow mud underneath had been tamped with a wooden hammer.
Now, Qinchuan is in the three-day quarantine period, and as soon as the isolation is over, he can start clamping the formwork and binding steel bars and preparing to cast cement.
Qin Chuan was pointing his fingers and feet, when suddenly a sentry scout rode his horse not far away, and shouted from afar: "My lord, a group of people came from the direction of Taiyuan, saying that they are the stewards of the Ninghua Palace, and they want to talk to the adults about the fields in the Loufu Valley." ”
As soon as he heard this, Qin Chuan immediately became interested.
Hey, hey, the people of Ninghua Palace, come and beat one by one, and come and split a pair.
