Turning the valley, Zheng Chongjian saw a young man in armor at a glance, like a star holding the moon, surrounded by soldiers of the Ming army. The most conspicuous thing is, naturally, the brocade guards in the flying fish suit, all scattered around the young man.

Needless to say, this young man must be the emperor today!

Zheng Chongjian thought so, so he fixed his eyes. Sure enough, I vaguely recognized that the young man was indeed the emperor. However, it is very different from the impression in his memory that the emperor at this time, every move seems to be very natural, and there is no one look at the board when he has seen it before. The first impression he had was that he was heroic and very confident.

This...... Is this the emperor? He sighed with surprise in his heart, and couldn't believe that the emperor had really changed a lot.

"Your Excellency the Governor, the Emperor is over there, let's go over quickly!" Jin Yiwei commanded Li Ruolian to be beside Zheng Chongjian, and suddenly spoke.

When Zheng Chongjian heard this, he hurriedly said yes, hurried over, and saluted the emperor: "Your Majesty's strategizing and deciding the Hetao in a war is really a rare victory for my Ming Dynasty!" ”

The tone of his voice was filled with joy that swelled up from the bottom of his heart.

As a person at that time, he naturally knew very well that this time the war in Hetao was really the credit of the emperor's strategy. If he had thought that there might be a strategist helping the emperor, but at this time, he did not doubt it, it was definitely the emperor's own ability. Therefore, when he speaks, he is sincere.

The generals of the Qindi border army who followed him were basically seeing the emperor himself for the first time. Originally, he was commanded by the emperor, and he was impressed by the collapse of the Tumut Department in a snap of his fingers, and when he saw the emperor's bearing at this time, he was even more admired.

Although they were armoured, they all followed closely behind the Governor, kneeling on one knee and clasping their fists in salute.

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he said with a smile on his face: "Zheng Qing, hurry up!" This battle is also hard! And generals, there is no need to be polite before the army, get up! ”

After the decree was issued, Zheng Chongjian traveled all over Shaanxi, first going to various places to negotiate with those vassal palaces to solve the precarious plight of the border army, and then to arrange a false impression so that Turg would feel empty in the pass and would lead his troops into the pass; In the end, we have to deploy all kinds of ambushes, and pursue the Tumut Department all the way, sleepless, people in their fifties, not hard is fake!

However, at this time, he felt that everything was worth it.

After this battle, his name Zheng Chongjian will definitely go down in history, and more importantly, with the love of fighting side by side with the emperor, he will not worry too much about anything in the officialdom.

And those generals who led the troops saw that the emperor was very kind, and their hearts were even more excited, and they stood up straight after getting up one by one.

Subsequently, it was He Renlong who reported the results of the Battle of Taniguchi and summarized what Zheng Chongjian reported, and the situation was as follows:

There were more than 13,000 men and horses on the left and right wings of the Tumut Department who entered the customs this time, and none of them escaped from the pass. A total of about 3,000 were killed by the Ming army, about 2,000 were wounded, and the remaining 5,000 surrendered, and 3,000 men and horses should be scattered on the Loess Plateau.

The right wing of the Tumut Department is unified, of course, on the official side of the Ming State, it is its tribal patriarch Hang Gao who has been beheaded, as evidenced by the head; The left-wing capital Guluge was captured, and the people were brought to the imperial front.

"Heavenly Khan spares his life!" After Gu Luge learned that the young man in front of him was actually the emperor of the Ming Kingdom, he was speechless in shock at first, and then immediately began to beg for mercy, "Our Tumut Department is willing to serve the Ming Dynasty as the master, and then discord with the Qing Dynasty...... In fact, we were forced to surrender to Jianlu. ”

Although he seemed to be very frightened when he spoke, Gu Luge at this time was not panicked at all. I thought that the one standing in front of him was the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom!

Gu Luge can be sure that the emperor of the Ming State will definitely win him over, and he will submit to the Ming State on behalf of the Tumut Department, and maybe he can get a knighthood like the King of Shunyi! The only thing that worries me a little is that I am afraid that the only king of the Tumut Department will not be in time for too long, and when the Liaodong Daqing knows the situation here, he will send troops to attack again, and at that time, he can only surrender to the Qing Dynasty again and continue to be the commander.

When he had finished speaking, he knelt down and behaved respectfully. I was expecting Emperor Ming to reprimand him a few words, and then let him stand up and speak.

In order to try to ensure that this situation can occur, he played a little clever when he spoke just now. He knew that the emperor of the Central Plains Dynasty liked the people on the grassland to call him Tian Khan, so as soon as he met, he directly called him "Tian Khan".

Emperor Chongzhen condescended, looked down at this short and dundun Jianyu lackey, and shouted coldly: "Entering the customs and robbing my Daming, it's really bold......"

When Gu Luge heard this, he was secretly happy in his heart, look, the emperor of the Ming Kingdom is going to save face, and he began to reprimand a few words, and then the words changed, he must have repented of himself, and then appeased himself! There seems to be an idiom among the Han people, called both soft and hard, it should be this!

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Emperor Chongzhen continue to shout: "I just said before, those who offend me will be punished even if they are far away!" Your Tumut tribe invaded my Daming, and from now on, there is no need for the so-called Tumut tribe in this world......"

Hearing this, Gu Luge felt that something was not quite right, and he couldn't help but raise his head and look up at Emperor Chongzhen, with a real look of horror on his face. However, in his heart, he was still thinking, could the emperor of the Ming Kingdom change the name of his tribe? For example, the kind of name that is slave-like, or highlights the great achievements of the Ming Emperor?

But who knows, I heard Emperor Chongzhen suddenly raise his voice and say: "Come on, hang him at the mouth of this valley, let the other tribes on the grassland see, and those who offend me will be the end!" ”

"Yes!" When several brocade guards heard this, they immediately stepped forward to drag people.

Gu Luge was stupid, and it wasn't until he was dragged away by Jinyiwei that he came back to his senses and hurriedly begged for mercy loudly, but it was useless at all. Because the Chongzhen Emperor in front of him is actually from later generations, and his way of thinking is different from the people of this era, or rather, from the emperors before the Ming Dynasty.

Looking at this scene, Zheng Chongjian and the other generals were also a little surprised. They found that the emperor's performance often made them unguessable!

However, they were very happy, especially those military generals, when they heard the emperor say "Those who commit the Ming Dynasty will be punished even if they are far away", it aroused their enthusiasm as martial artists, including Wu Sangui!

Young people, especially young warriors, who do not want to be able to move forward bravely, overcome obstacles, attack and attack; Instead of defending the city, watch the enemy show off their might outside the city, defend and defend.

Therefore, as far as Wu Sangui is concerned, when he was in Guanning, he did not feel the hot blood in his body, more aggrieved, and some conspiracies and calculations. However, this time he was ordered to go on the expedition with the car, but it was very pleasant, and the emperor's decree was easy to destroy a Mongolian tribe, how fast!

He will be able to practice "those who commit great wisdom, although they are far away", and it is also a matter of pride!

Emperor Chongzhen himself didn't expect that after saying such a sentence, it would cause a lot of ideas among the generals. At this time, he handed over the affairs on the battlefield to Zheng Chongjian, and watched him give orders from the sidelines, learning to deal with things on the battlefield.

The prisoners must be settled, and the remnants of the Tumut tribe scattered on the Loess Plateau must also be cleared, and in addition, the Urad tribe that has entered the pass must also go to investigate the battle situation to see if reinforcements are needed, and so on. And after all this is done, according to the emperor's intention, it is necessary to go south quickly and really go to quell the rebellion.

When they were busy with the end of the war, Li Zicheng had already led his men, and under the pressure of the assembly of the entire Qindi border army, he decisively gave up the occupied several county towns in southern Shaanxi, and started his old business, jumping into Henan earlier than the original history.

However, what is different from the previous is that this time, although he still coerced the people of these counties in southern Shaanxi, he made a promise, saying that Henan is rich and the land is fertile, and he will take them to kill corrupt officials and give them land.

In the twelfth year of Chongzhen, there was still a great drought in the north, and so was Shaanxi, so the people in southern Shaanxi were looking to be unable to live, and maybe they went to Henan and had a way to live, so this time, many of them voluntarily followed Li Zicheng.

In fact, since Li Zicheng jumped out of Shangluo Mountain this time, he began to chase stolen money with the slogan of "Juntian Exemption", and his team snowballed rapidly, and then it was out of control, and he never lost again, and the more he fought, the stronger he became, and finally killed the Ming Dynasty, but it was too late to transform, and he turned to the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

No, Li Zicheng went to Henan, and found that there was also a big drought here, and many people were desperate, hearing that Li Zicheng would kill corrupt officials and divide the fields, suddenly, many people took the initiative to respond, and Li Zicheng's department easily took the county seat of Lu.

This Lushi County belongs to Xiazhou, that is, it is under the jurisdiction of Sanmenxia City in later generations, and belongs to Henan Prefecture. It is adjacent to Lingbao in the north, Luoning and Luanchuan in the east, Xixia in the south, Luonan, Danfeng and Shangnan counties in Shaanxi in the southwest, and the county seat is less than 300 miles away from Xiazhou.

The victory in the first battle made Li Zicheng's subordinates very happy, and these leaders all felt the importance of the people's will, and began to judge the county order in public, as well as those rich households in the city, and finally killed all of them, robbed the granaries of the rich households in the city, and even distributed some grain as promised.

Listening to the praise of King Chuang outside, in the county hall, everyone was very happy, and seemed to have forgotten the pressure of encirclement and suppression of the official army when they were just in Shaanxi.

"Big brother, I really have you, I didn't expect this trick to be so useful?" Liu Zongmin said excitedly to Li Zicheng, "According to this situation, it won't be long before we estimate that there will be more than the previous team!" ”

Those who can't survive are defined as their own people; What can still survive is the corrupt officials and landlords they want to fight, their own people, they can receive food, corrupt officials and landlords are strong, then rob them of food, kill them, it's as simple as that!

Li Zicheng listened to it and smiled, he was indeed proud in his heart. The year in Shangluo Mountain was not in vain, he figured out this trick, and now it has been proven to be useful.

This time, even Li Guo admired and said: "Uncle, in this way, it seems that we are on the right path to enter Henan." There is a lot of food and a large population here, as long as the officers and soldiers deal with us later, when we grow, we will also have the capital to deal with the officers and soldiers! ”

"That's right, we should attack right now, and go and take down a few more cities!" Yuan Zongdi was also beaming, feeling for the first time that he was a thief, and he was still popular with the people, which he had never encountered before.

This time, each of them received a lot of subordinates, although there were men and women, old and weak, but there were more people, and there were strong men. According to their previous experience, as long as they fight a few more battles, the people born will be the elite of the army!

These people in the lobby are very happy with their current achievements. However, they naturally didn't know that if it was in the original history, in fact, what they gained after jumping into Henan was much more than this plane.

In the original history, at this time, the imperial court, at the suggestion of Yang Sichang, levied another training salary. With this title, the corrupt officials and corrupt officials at the bottom took the opportunity to accumulate wealth, forcing another large number of people who could have survived to no longer survive.

These people who can survive to Chongzhen for 12 years generally have good living conditions, and many of them have studied. But I can't live anymore, it's useless whether I've read a book or not, I have to solve my stomach first. Therefore, it was from this year that some scholars began to join Li Zicheng's team. The famous Song Xiance and Niu Jinxing and others in history became Li Zicheng's subordinates when he rushed into Henan this time.

But now, without the levy of salaries, many people can still live, and the imperial army is moved when they hear the news, and it is even rumored that the royal army is personally recruited. In the eyes of ordinary people, there is absolutely no way to survive with the rebellion. Except for those who are already starving and can't live, ordinary people, as long as they still have a little hope of survival, will not take the initiative to follow Li Zicheng.

Although Emperor Chongzhen has not yet arrived in Henan, the butterfly effect is really affected.

At this time, Li Zicheng was very happy to hear the compliments of his subordinates, of course he hoped that his team would get bigger and bigger, so he immediately began to discuss with them, where is it better to attack next?

But at this time, I saw Gao Yigong, who was in charge of the sentry of their team, striding in, with a grim face, and solemnly said to Li Zicheng, who was sitting on the main seat: "Big brother, the emperor is indeed driving in person, and now he has inquired about the news of the Son of Heaven's strong army!" ”

As soon as I heard this, the atmosphere that had been lively just now suddenly froze. Everyone's faces suddenly became a little worried, and they all looked at Gao Yigong, a crow's mouth.
