243 Petitions

Hearing this, King Qin finally showed a hint of joy, this is good news, can he finally be an official and do other things?

To be honest, by this time in the late Ming Dynasty, the feudal kings and other high-ranking titles were fine, and the clans at the bottom were really starving to death, and those who did not starve to death were basically asking for food. I don't know what Zhu Yuanzhang would think if he knew it in the Spirit of Heaven!

The King of Qin was not finished happy, and Emperor Chongzhen actually continued: "I have just re-defeated the Hetao, and the Urad Department dares to invade my Ming Dynasty, and sooner or later they will be destroyed." I have passed, and those who dare to offend the Ming Dynasty will be punished even if they are far away. This is not an empty word, I can tell you. In the future, if it is possible, if I have conquered a distant place, it will definitely be inconvenient for me to manage, so I will deliberately choose a wise and useful vassal king among the many vassal kings, and divide the past ......"

King Qin was a little stunned when he heard it, and the news that the emperor led the army to knock down the Hetao was already known to everyone in Xi'an Mansion at this time. However, he didn't know that the emperor still had such ambitions. If you can reproduce the military power of the founding of the Ming Dynasty and the prosperity of the Han and Tang Dynasties, then it is possible that it will be a long way away! Can this vassal king go to such a distant place?

As he was thinking about it, Emperor Chongzhen continued: "If this happens, I will consider that it will be inconvenient for the vassal king to stay away from the country, and when the time comes, I will consider the power given to the vassal king by Taizu." ”

During the Hongwu period, the feudal kings were not only well treated, but also had great military power. Especially with military power, several vassal kings in the north, such as King Ning, King Yan, King Gu, King Liao and other princes, are more in control of the elite armed forces of the Ming Dynasty, each of them looks at the world.

At this time, what Emperor Chongzhen said, if King Qin did not understand it wrongly, he should mean this.

Knowing this, not only was he not happy, but he looked at Emperor Chongzhen worriedly, and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid this is inappropriate, right?" ”

He was afraid that this was Emperor Chongzhen testing him with words.

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he asked a little puzzled: "What's wrong with this?" Taizu's purpose back then was to use the imperial family of the domain. In doing so, I also echoed Taizu's intentions. It's better than sealing those officials in the past, and the emperor who is far away will become an emperor with another surname, right? ”

King Qin was still a little scared and didn't know what the emperor's true intentions were, so he was silent.

Who doesn't love military and political power? Who likes to be kept in captivity like a pig? However, King Qin is afraid, what if the emperor is insidious, just tempting with words, and turning around and starting to deal with it?

Seeing him like this, Emperor Chongzhen didn't care. The feudal king went overseas, this is just an assumption, and there is no conclusive conclusion. If it were possible, of course he hoped that the land in the world would be Ming.

However, in this era, the traffic is too inconvenient, and there is no chat group, so you can govern regardless of distance. Therefore, if the country is too far away, it will not be easy to manage the territory, and it is possible to divide the feudal kings.

Talking about this with King Qin today, Emperor Chongzhen actually has one purpose, that is, these vassal kings in the country are obedient, so there will be jujubes in the future, and they will be sweet jujubes to eat. As for no one believing it at the moment, it doesn't matter, it's okay to have such a thought.

After saying this, the purpose of Emperor Chongzhen's visit to the Qin Palace's palace was basically achieved. Then, after hinting at the King of Qin, he returned to the barracks.

Since leaving Beijing, Emperor Chongzhen has lived in the military camp.

Then, a forced support appeared.

The King of Qin soon put on the table, calling on the vassal kings from all over the country to make more efforts in this eventful season, not only to exchange the silver tickets and money tickets of the Ming Royal Bank, but also to donate additional military funds or disaster relief money and food to the imperial court, and contribute to the imperial court.

To tell the truth, if there was no prior guidance from the emperor, King Qin would not dare to go up to this recital. Therefore, in the past, the royal family was very taboo about this.

However, this time, it was the emperor who took the initiative to ask the vassal prince's mansion to exchange silver tickets and money tickets, and then the king of Qin was instructed again, so after this recital came out, the emperor immediately affirmed it and immediately praised the king of Qin's loyalty and patriotism. and let several of King Qin's younger sons enter the household registration on the spot. He also said that the clan of the King of Qin, the general of Zhenguo and the lower ranks, can be classified as civil registration and participate in the imperial examination and others by virtue of the principle of voluntariness.

This matter was also notified to the Jingshi side in the form of a fast horse, and to the vassal kings all over the country.

After doing this, Emperor Chongzhen led his troops out and left Xi'an.

The people of Xi'an spontaneously rushed out of the city to see the emperor off. All of a sudden, the whole scene was very lively and sensational.

The reason for this is that the Ming Emperor never went to Xi'an. Now that Emperor Chongzhen has come, if he doesn't take this opportunity to take a look, when he goes back to chat, or when he talks about it with his children and grandchildren, he will lose a lot.

The second reason is that Emperor Chongzhen is not the kind of unknown emperor, but suddenly appeared with the power of great victory.

Shaanxi has always been infested by Mongolian tribes on the grassland. Every autumn, it is the time when the Mongolian tribes on the steppe come to fight the autumn valley, and when it is serious, the whole of Shaanxi may be affected.

But now, Emperor Chongzhen suddenly appeared and didn't say a word, and without saying a word, he wiped out the Tumut tribe of Hetao, the tribe that invaded Shaanxi the most. For this kind of thing, as long as it is a Qindi man, who is not happy? And to be able to wipe out the entire Tumut tribe, not just to defeat it, how many people can do this kind of thing?

The image of the wise and martial emperor has been established in the hearts of the men of Qindi, just such a thing. Not to mention, in the course of this war, the emperor's various clever calculations were originally magical enough, and after being spread from one transmission to another, it was even more magical.

Who wouldn't want to take a look at such an emperor?

There is another reason, which is the extermination of locusts in Jingyang.

Jingyang is not far from Xi'an, and the news came very quickly, not to mention, because of the locust feast, the foodies spread even more actively.

As a result, the emperor was anxious for the people, reprimanded the mediocre county order, led the army to pacify the plague of locusts, and even went into battle in person, just with a finger of his hand, those locusts fell to the ground one after another, and they were captured. Spread the word. The image of an emperor who loves the people and is close to the people has not run away. It is also a confirmation of folklore, the emperor is good, and the reason why everyone has a hard time is that there are traitors in the court and corrupt officials in the localities!

With such a good emperor here, then everyone has hope and is full of confidence in the future. I believe that as long as the emperor is given time, everyone will definitely be able to live a good life in the end. If those rebels dare to create such a good emperor's rebellion, everyone will not agree to it first!

As a result, when Emperor Chongzhen left, when Jinyiwei commanded Li Ruolian to play the people's feelings in Xi'an, Emperor Chongzhen smiled secretly in his heart.

Putting these down, Emperor Chongzhen learned through the Class A eavesdropping seed on Chen Qiyu that Chen Qiyu had arrived in Xiangyang and Xiong Wencan had been escorted back to Beijing. However, Chen Qiyu's side did not go well. The first thing he explained to him was to rectify military discipline and give Zuo Liangyu, the scum of the army, to the Fa-rectification in order to set an example.

However, Zuo Liangyu seemed to have noticed it himself, even if Chen Qiyu did not show his killing intent, he didn't even want to go to his illness. Not only Emperor Chongzhen felt that even Chen Qiyu was already sensitive to Zuo Liangyu's fear that something would go wrong. At this time, Chen Qiyu had already begun to deploy with the military force in his hand, ready to take Zuo Liangyu.

For Zhang Xianzhong and many other thieves, judging from Chen Qiyu's military discussions, he was a little worried that Zhang Xianzhong and others would wander: it is possible to go south to Hunan and Guizhou, or north to Henan, and west to Sichuan. No matter which direction it is, once it is scurryed by the thieves, it will pay more to turn around and encircle them.

Therefore, before Chen Qiyu's peripheral forces were in place, he did not show a very strong kind, stabilizing Zhang Xianzhong and other thieves, so that they were still entrenched in the northwest of Hubei.

In this regard, as Emperor Chongzhen, who crossed over in later generations, no matter what, at least heard of the relationship between Zhang Xianzhong and Sichuan. Although he didn't know when he would enter Sichuan, no matter what, he didn't want Zhang Xianzhong and other thieves to enter Sichuan. Therefore, when he started from Xi'an, he had already issued an order to the governor of Sichuan, asking him to mobilize people from all walks of life to prevent the possible road of Hubei thieves jumping into Sichuan.

In the middle, he also deliberately ordered the white pole army. However, Qin Liangyu is already old, and her daughter-in-law has also died in battle. His son Ma Xianglin is still a man, and he is still a rare good general of the Ming Dynasty. With Ma Xianglin here, I believe that the combat effectiveness of the White Pole Army is still okay.

In addition, the best force to deal with the thieves is the light cavalry, which is fast, so that the thieves will catch up with them before they have time to escape. Therefore, the 15,000 or so war horses obtained from the Hetao grassland this time will also be sent to Tongguan by Hong Chengchou. There, in the army of Emperor Chongzhen, there were 15,000 more horseback infantry troops. Coupled with the original cavalry, it can sweep away the thieves with the power of thunder, whether it is Li Zicheng's department or Zhang Xianzhong's department, Emperor Chongzhen believes that in the face of strength, it will be crushed!

Of course, now this chessboard is only in the hands of Emperor Chongzhen, and this is still with the help of eavesdropping seeds. As for the others, due to the limitation of distance, the news of the news channel can only understand part of it, even including Chen Qiyu, who is the governor of the five provinces. At least he didn't know that the emperor had already led the elite Qin soldiers south at this time, he didn't know that there would be more than 15,000 cavalry troops on the emperor's side, and he didn't know that the Sichuan side had been ordered to block the passage, and so on. He is like both, let alone a thief.

For example, at this time, Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai and others did not realize that in their far periphery, a large net had been spread, and huge danger was slowly enveloping the past.

"What, Zuo Liangyu wants to join forces with us?"

"You repeat, the left thief is trying to learn from us to rebel? Is his brain caught in the door or does he think our brains are caught in the door? ”

“……”

Basically, these bandit leaders present didn't believe it, and they questioned Zuo Liangyu's sincerity.

The person in the middle of the hall was naturally Liu Guoneng, he looked at the old faces, and said a little impatiently: "Believe it or not, that's what he meant, saying that the court wants to cut him, and he can't be arrested." His strength, you all know, do it or not, just give a word, and I'll go back to the business! ”

Hearing this, there was immediately another commotion in the lobby.

"Fuck it, fucking Zuo Liangyu, killed so many of our brothers, and now that I'm afraid of the court, you want to be brothers with us? There are no doors! ”

"Okay, if Zuo Liangyu also rebels, it means that the court is exhausted, and everyone will oppose his mother together!"

"No, no, if he Zuo Liangyu wants to be brothers with us, let's have three knives and six holes first, make amends for us, and then talk about it later!"

"Could he be pretending? Let's believe that if you turn around, you will stab us. Vote for the name, let him hand over the name! ”

"If the emperor is killed, then who will sit in this world? Zuo Liangyu? There's no way I'm going to obey him anyway! ”

“……”

Looking at the chaotic scene, Liu Guoneng sneered in his heart, just like that, how can it be possible to rebel and seize the world!

After listening to it for a while, he was still gossiping, and even the leaders of the thieves had different opinions, and they all got into trouble on the spot. Liu Guoneng frowned and shouted, "Don't quarrel, okay?" ”

Only if he is a thief, he can roar like this, if Zuo Liangyu sends Daniel Zhang over, dare to roar like this, he can immediately attract a lot of axes.

The lobby was yelled at by him, and it was suddenly quiet, and the leader of the thieves was unhappy, so he wanted to scare him. But Liu Guoneng turned his head to look at Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai on the main seat, and Hui Dengxiang. He naturally knew that among these thieves, these three were the strongest, and they also said it: "Give me an explanation, and I will go back and have an explanation!" ”

Luo Rucai listened, and saw that Zhang Xianzhong wanted to speak out of the corner of his eye, so he immediately took the lead and said: "It's okay to rebel together, but at least he has to prove his sincerity." Otherwise, how can we believe that he really wanted to rebel? ”

As soon as he heard this, Liu Guoneng didn't say a word, and immediately summoned his subordinates who had left him outside, opened a box he brought casually, revealing a human head and said: "This is the eunuch supervisor sent by the imperial court in his army!" ”

"We don't know each other, what should he do if Zuo Liangyu casually finds someone to kill and fool us?" Luo Rucai saw it and said unmoved, "At least, where is the Dog Emperor now, he has to tell us, this shouldn't be difficult for him, right?" ”

As soon as he heard this, Zhang Xianzhong, who originally wanted to speak, immediately stopped talking.

They had a strategy to kill the emperor. I don't even know where the emperor is, which is the most difficult place for them at the moment. In their opinion, since Zuo Liangyu is the chief soldier of the imperial court, he should at least know the emperor's news.
