In the early morning, when the first rays of sunlight broke through the clouds and fell on the head of the imperial capital, the ancient city instantly came to life, and the people began their livelihood for the day.

In the past, feces and urine were everywhere, and the foul-smelling city of Sijiu City was completely new at this time, and each square in the city had set up garbage dumps, and the Soldiers and Horses Division patrolled and supervised 24 hours a day, but anyone who was found to have littered in the open defecation was fined for a light case, and was directly arrested for the heavier ones, and the imperial court was forcibly changing the bad habits of the people with a strong hand, building a clean capital, and trying to reduce or even eliminate the plague epidemic.

The court's tough methods naturally aroused some criticism, but in recent days, public opinion is not here, and there are two things that are most talked about in the teahouses and restaurants in the streets and alleys, first, the imperial court is heavy-handed against corruption, the Metropolitan Procuratorate is clearly inspected, Jinyiwei and Dongchang are secretly investigated, one is investigated, one is arrested, one is tried, the light is reduced, and the worst is to be imprisoned and raided.

The second thing, but also up to the court down to the common people the most talked, the Dongchang Governor Chang Yu first went out of the customs to snipe the Qing army, killed Dolgon and fled in embarrassment, and then was ordered to go south to fight the fire only half a month to relieve the siege of Baoding City, capture the first few thieves, the capital shook for a while, the first place in the daily hot search list is definitely about the situation in the south, all kinds of gossip is flying all over the sky, Chang Yu and others have been rumored to be godly.

Dongchang has always been criticized by the world, and it is synonymous with framing Zhongliang and cruelty, but during this time, because of Chang Yu's great military achievements, the people said a lot about his kindness, and even some literati and Donglin, Fushe These organized keyboardists and angry young people have a lot less saliva.

A person got the Taoist chicken dog ascended to heaven, Chang Yu was famous and shocked the government and the opposition, and the fans who listened to the orders of the East Factory were also straight waists, and they were proud of the East Factory, but they were happy and sad, and they made a loud noise early this morning.

Chunxiang is the head of the East Factory, that is, the second-in-command, Chang Yu is not in him is the boss, recently Beijing City to investigate corruption He personally led the team, and his performance was very satisfactory to Emperor Chongzhen, and he did not hesitate to commend him.

Dongchang is the emperor's eyes and knife, and in addition to anti-corruption, it is also necessary to set up intelligence stations everywhere to collect intelligence, and intelligence includes military information, public information and knowledgeable officials in various places.

In addition to these official affairs, the East Factory has a lot of its own private business, and the Octopus Chamber of Commerce has 12 Taibao to deal with it without too much involvement, but the newly opened Octopus Dart Bureau, a logistics company, is the majority shareholder.

The dart bureau has just opened recently, recruiting a large number of dart masters and executioners, and the war has caused refugees from all over the country to pour into the capital, and the human resources are abundant and cheap, among which there are many boxers who dance with knives and sticks, so the dart bureau is shouting here, and the applicants are flowing......

Chunxiang has a habit of going out to the yamen during the day, and returning to the yamen of the Dongchang in the imperial city at sunset, which allowed him to escape the catastrophe.

Early in the morning, the hand reported that last night in the Dongchang Hutong next to the imperial city entered a snitch, was found and rounded up by the watchman, the snitch killed people and grabbed the road, injured six people in a row, and then the master of the East Factory heard the news and the two sides fought fiercely, the snitch escaped at night, and the East Factory was injured eleven people and two people died.

Chunxiang was shocked when he heard the news, Dongchang recruited good players from the army and the rivers and lakes in the past few months, and the masters in the yamen were like clouds, and he could still let this snitch come and go freely, which was really shocking, and then he wondered why a snitch broke into the yamen of Dongchang, where was there anything worth remembering.

Surprised in his heart, he ordered the whole city to search and arrest, and secretly arrested a lot of corrupt officials recently, could it be ...... I thought about going to the Qianbu Corridor Jinyi Wei Yamen to find Wu Mengming to discuss.

As soon as he left the palace gate, he saw Wu Mengming hurriedly coming towards him with an anxious face: "Lord Wu......" Chunxiang was interrupted by Wu Mengming as soon as he spoke: "It's not good, it's not good......

Chunxiang frowned, and hurriedly asked What's wrong? The secret passage in my heart can't be a leak from the south.

Wu Mengming sighed, kept at his feet, and whispered in his ear, how could it be possible for Chunxiang to cry out in shock? When he reacted, he saw that Wu Mengming had hurriedly walked away.

The sixteenth emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the first generation of Lao Zhu, the second generation of Zhu Di are all eloquent, and the descendants are also distinct and unique, with a good reputation of Ming Xiaozong, Zhu Qizhen, who was the emperor twice, and Zhu Youxiao, the carpenter emperor...... There are wonderful and conscientious people, although Emperor Chongzhen is not the most talented, he is definitely the most hard-working and hard-working emperor.

Hardship, needless to say, after taking over a mess, he hasn't slept for decades, and this kind of hardship has developed another good quality for him, diligence.

Natural disasters and man-made disasters continue, Emperor Chongzhen went to bed late and got up early, got up to deal with government affairs every day (three o'clock in the morning), responded to the sentence of later generations to sleep later than the dog, get up earlier than the chicken, often insomnia for days when the war is urgent, the whole person is haggard.

In the past few months, the thief army forced Taiyuan, the Qing army entered the customs, and the thief army approached the capital in the north.

Fortunately, God favored a small eunuch to cut through thorns and thorns for him, every time the evil turned into auspiciousness, afterwards he always pressed his chest and sighed and made a false alarm.

The plague is plagued, the world is in drought, because of the war, the people of several houses are ruined, wandering and lost, how to settle after the war is a headache, he is discussing with the courtiers every day, and he must come up with a countermeasure as soon as possible, otherwise the people will continue to rebel if they are desperate.

"Your Majesty, the commander of Jinyiwei asked Wu Mengming to see him, saying that there was an urgent military situation" Wang Chengen came in and whispered, Emperor Chongzhen, who was watching the excerpt, couldn't help but panic, a bad feeling struck, the military information of the bandits in the south has been sent directly to the front of the case by Chang Yu's Dongchang, where did Jinyiwei send it at this time?

The morning sun rose, after getting up and Chen Wangting practiced boxing Chang Yu, climbed the city and looked into the distance, the wilderness outside the city was in full view, it was a good season for spring ploughing but was abandoned due to the war, couldn't help sighing, turned his head to the southeast to see the camp of officers and soldiers on the bank of the Hutuo River, it seemed to be out of the morning exercise, his face showed a look of relief, Teng Xiangwei went out of Beijing, knowing that he had sharpened his knife.

The displaced people who were originally gathered outside the city were queuing up outside the West Gate at this time, setting up a porridge shed there, and putting grain to Zhending, the local displaced people in Baoding and the two prefectures, the war in the two prefectures has ended, and let them return to their hometowns to farm, which is also the ultimate that Chang Yu can do now.

Half a ring, Huang Degong, Zhou Yuji and other subordinates all went to the city to watch the scenery, and a group of people followed him around the city, and then walked and chatted, and the topic was not far from the pursuit of the thief.

Chang Yu is still not arrogant or impatient: "You still have to chase, but you don't have to be in such a hurry, you have to have a full stomach to have strength, otherwise you will chase before you will have soft legs and dizzy eyes."

"But the factory supervisor said to bite tightly" Huang Degong said eagerly, he was beaten by Luo Hu yesterday, and the hatred in his heart was hard to get rid of.

Chang Yu nodded: "Of course, you have to bite tightly, but this matter of biting the dog's hair is handed over to Liu Zeqing, you have been fighting for several days in a row, and the soldiers and horses are tired, so you don't need to be in such a hurry." Zhou Yuji and Huang Degong looked at each other and sneered: "Can Liu Laogou be so obedient? ”

Chang Yu smiled: "Liu Zeqing is a good dog, he has been watching from the sidelines in this battle, and he has long been red-eyed, and now that the thief army has fled such a good opportunity to attack, he will naturally not let go, if you don't let him bite, he will bite it, dog eats dog is the most interesting."

After a pause, he said: "Last night, Li Yan reported that the thieves had reached the territory of Gaoyi, and Liu Fangliang's troops were in Luancheng, and they had to rest and run not far this night, and according to the spies, Gao Jie had broken through the city of Shunde Mansion and was waiting for him in a good posture.

In the middle of the afternoon, the officers and soldiers who had rested all night went out of the city to assemble, Chang Yu ordered Huang Degong's subordinates to leave 2,000 Ma Degong's soldiers in Zhending City to deal with the wounded, sick and prisoners and displaced people, and the rest of the troops went south to chase the thieves, and the remaining more than 10,000 soldiers and horses of the original Ma Shiyao Department after the war were divided into Zhou Yuji and Huang Degong to supplement the troops.

Cheng Ming was the vanguard commander and led the Tengxiang Four Guards cavalry to chase the enemy first, and the rest followed closely without hurry, and at the same time ordered Li Yan to keep an eye on the slow pursuit, and Liu Zeqing hurried ......

Liu Zeqing is scolding his mother, he ran nearly a hundred miles in one night, crossed the river in the early morning and arrived at Jinzhou City, which is considered to have completed the military order in advance, and when he learned about Li Yan Zhaozhou after a short rest, he was afraid that he would run in vain for his own merit, gritted his teeth and personally led the cavalry to hurry, and ordered Yuan Xingzhong to lead the infantry to follow.

At the same time, Li Yan had to report that the main force of the thief army settled in Gaoyi last night, and the large number of thieves in the rear coerced the homeless people in the back twenty miles, and the generals asked if they were chasing or not, Li Yan went to the northwest, and his expression was indifferent: "Waiting for orders."
