Chapter 135: Emperor Chongzhen

Yishengyuan Silver.

A terrible dog bark came into Fan Yongliang's ears, mixed with the hustle and bustle of human voices, which was extremely lively. But he didn't move his brows, and continued to look at the account books spread out on the table.

Is it rare to fight a mad dog?

Since the plague has been hit in the capital, dead bodies are everywhere, and those mad dogs and mad cats who have eaten things that should not be eaten have not killed too many. It's just that many cats and dogs that are not crazy have been beaten to death by their owners.

There are even many people who have contracted the epidemic, and they have been beaten to death even though they have not died. The government doesn't care.

It can only be said that the old Zhu family is exhausted, and the real qi is exhausted.

The Gyeonggi region was purged and plundered by three or five times, and the plague alone has broken out in Beizhili many times in the past ten years. This time it subverted most of the Beijing camp in one fell swoop. The luck of the Zhu family has been exhausted, and this country was taken away by Li Zicheng's thieves, and there is no part of the old Zhu family.

It's just that Li Zicheng is fond of killing officials and gentry, copying and inspecting rich households, and is not popular with the people, so he is not the image of a human master.

No matter how you look at it, this northern land is now dominated by the Qing Dynasty, which is more powerful.

Whether the Qing Dynasty can dominate the world like Meng Yuan, this Fan Yongliang is not sure, but he is sure that the Qing Dynasty swept the north, and it will not be a problem to retake the road of Dajin back then.

Their Fan family really made a good deal with a lot of profits.

However, the Fan family's business is not doing well, and the absolute shopping mall is proud, but the officialdom is disappointed.

The information from outside the gate said that the Qing Emperor wanted them to concentrate their firepower on Zheng Zhilong, but who expected that Zheng Zhilong not only had a deep relationship with Zhou Yanru, but also had a close relationship with other figures in the Donglin Party.

Some of the Qingliu that the Fan family was able to "influence" were all from Jinxi and Guanzhong. These people have a certain amount of weight in the court, but they are far worse than the status of the Donglin Party in Shilin Qingliu.

People not only have Jiangnan as the basic plate, but also have gone north to the Central Plains, west to Huguang, in terms of momentum, chaos 'mass base', famous, and the eunuch party and other dark forces have been fighting for many years, there is already an organized and disciplined Donglin Party, which is a complete victory over the guerrillas in the west of Jin.

Not to mention, even Emperor Chongzhen in the court was unwilling to take Zheng Zhilong for questioning, and there were big guys like Zhou Yanru and Jiang Dejing to cover Zheng Zhilong. The Fan family's actions were not going well.

There was a backlash, and several early birds were knocked out.

Fan Yongliang is now looking at his own network, after so many years of hard work, the Fan family has some influence in the capital.

Although it is not on the table, the reason for the short manpower can be applied everywhere.

Many people have taken his family's money, but many people may not be willing to continue to obey the Fan family's wishes to impeach Zheng Zhilong at the moment. Because it is obvious that Zheng Zhilong is no longer the former bandit, his reputation is not weak now, and he has the backing of the Donglin faction led by Zhou Yanru, and he has not angered the emperor, and this impeachment will not be fruitful.

Even if you can't eat mutton, you will get into a commotion.

The three officials who wrote to impeach Zheng Zhilong for "supporting the army and respecting himself, hiding his strength, and harboring evil intentions" have all suffered disasters one after another. have all been caught by people to fight the real handle, the crime is unforgivable, and there is no way to argue.

That Zheng Zhiguan made a move, and it may be deduced that it was an accident. But if this is the case all three times, then it has to be vigilant.

Unless Zheng Zhilong can be brought down in one fell swoop, otherwise, it will be really difficult to find someone to come out like this.

Fan Yongliang was holding this 'account book' that recorded the relationship between the Fan family in Beijing and was looking through it, and Emperor Chongzhen in the Forbidden City was also holding a roster and was constantly rummaging.

He wanted to find a few capable officials to clean up the country for him.

After the Songjin War, he was already hopeless about one acre and three lands outside the gate.

Now that Li Zicheng has become the king of the system, and has occupied southern Henan and northern Hubei, it seems that he is about to get rid of the bad habits of the rogue and become a sitting tiger.

Why is Emperor Chongzhen not vigilant?

He knows very well that a figure like Li Zicheng, once he has a solid territory, it is not a reason that can be destroyed in the short term.

Just like Hong Chengchou killed the rogues and thieves at the beginning, it is necessary to catch them up and keep circulating, and they can't stand their ground, so it's good.

Therefore, he has always hoped that Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting can cooperate together, attack from both sides of the east and west, and get Li Zicheng. Even after Zhang Xianzhong entered Sichuan and Shu in the west, he passed the will to Zuo Liangyu, telling him to recover the land of Wuchang and enter Jiangbei, not to mention attacking Li Zicheng on three sides with Hongsun, but also at least one or two of them.

But as an emperor who has been in charge of the country for more than ten years, no matter how incompetent and unqualified Emperor Chongzhen is, he also knows that the most important thing is to select capable officials, appease the people, run the place, and collect land taxes and grain.

But where in this world is there such a genius who can turn the national fortune of the Ming Dynasty into life in the blink of an eye?

Zhang Xianzhong is okay, he went to Shudi. Li Zicheng's momentum is really so difficult for Emperor Chongzhen to sit down. Half of the Central Plains are accounted for, so isn't this next step to cross the Yellow River? That soldier Feng increased his strength a little and entered the North Zhili.

As a result, as a result, when Emperor Chongzhen was anxiously on fire, Huguang sent it to six hundred miles for an expedited time, but it was Zuo Liangyu who was reporting the victory. He took advantage of Zhang Xianzhong's army to enter Sichuan and Shu, and finally recaptured Wuchang.

But such a good news could not satisfy Emperor Chongzhen at all.

At the beginning, this Zuo Liangyu retreated to Xiangfan and Wuchang, but before leaving, he plundered Wuchang merchants, including grain and salt. After arriving in Jiujiang, he had 200,000 troops and waited and saw for self-protection. The imperial court sent troops several times before he defeated Zhang Xianzhong, who had an unstable foothold, and recovered Hanyang. But after Zhang Xianzhong entered Shu, he sent troops to recover Wuchang.

"Shameless, shameless." Emperor Chongzhen's head was bruised, this kind of stupid waste wood who only knows how to eat shit behind the thief's buttocks, he wants to cut off his dog's head.

"Zuo Liangyu sits on a strong army, arrogant and arrogant, slow to raise Kou to worry, urgent to abandon the armor to collapse. On the raising of Agate Mountain and the mourning of Zhu Xianzhen, there is no redemption for his sins. Ming is a general of the imperial court, but in fact, he is even more rogue. Kill, kill, kill! ”

"Long live the wrath, the wrath. Although Zuo Liangyu's crimes are unforgivable, he is in a hurry to obey the power, and he still needs to sit in Huguang and make meritorious contributions. At present, only Zuo Liangyu can support the situation in Huguang, and it is difficult to try it in a hurry. If you kill the Li thief first, then the imperial army will naturally gather, and then capture and kill Zuo Liangyu like killing a chicken dog. Wang Chengen hurriedly persuaded Emperor Chongzhen and said. (The eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty called the emperor "Long live" and "Ye", and there were also those who called the emperor "Long Live Grandpa" and "Long Live the Lord" in the chapter music)

This is not a big deal, this time against Li Zicheng, the imperial court has formulated a detailed strategy. If it goes well, it will naturally be able to sweep away the troubles of the henchmen in one fell swoop.

The main force is Sun Chuanting's Qin army and the old department led by Hong Chengchou, the former has Niu Chenghu, Zuo Xian, Zheng Jiadong, Gao Jie, Dong Xueli, and then Bai Guangen is subordinate; In addition to Cao Bianjiao, Wang Tingchen and Zuo Guangxian, the latter was followed by Chen Yongfu and Bu Congshan, the commanders of the Central Plains. Speaking of which, these are all fierce generals.

Then Zuo Liangyu will also march to Xiangfan, and even send Sichuan and Shu soldiers and horses to business and Zhao to respond.

This plan was very huge, and the troops were divided into four routes, intending to attack Ru (Yang) and Xiang (Yang), and annihilate the main force of the peasant army in one fell swoop.

For Emperor Chongzhen, this game of chess is the most important thing in the current time. Whether you kill Zuo Liangyu or not, on the contrary, it doesn't matter.

Of course, Emperor Chongzhen understood, but thinking that he would issue an edict to reward Zuo Liangyu, it was like a trapped beast in his heart, and his anger was as fierce as the sun, but he couldn't vent it, because the person he wanted to kill was not in front of him.
