Chapter 187: Chongzhen's anger
Li Zicheng, Gao Yingxiang, and Zhang Xianzhong were indeed as Mao Wenlong expected, after capturing Fengyang, Nanzhili, they immediately dug up the imperial tomb to kill the officials and kill the guards, and the news spread quickly, and the entire Henan Mansion was like an earthquake. Fastest updates
Li Zicheng even burned down the "Huangjue Temple" where Zhu Yuanzhang once became a monk, killed more than 60 eunuchs, and beheaded Zhu Guoxiang, the general of the guard.
Those generals of the imperial court army who had done nothing before, after learning the news, were in a state of anxiety one by one, and they didn't know how angry the saint would be.
In the imperial study room in the imperial city, Chongzhen's angry roar was heard far away. The guards outside the imperial study and the internal servants or palace maids were all silent, and they didn't dare to breathe when they shrank their heads.
Chongzhen learned that his ancestral grave was excavated, Huangjue Temple was burned, and Zhu Guoxiang, the general of the central capital, was killed. He suddenly roared in anger, and the entire imperial study was in an instant mess with him.
Wu Chengen had cold sweat on his forehead, and he didn't dare to say anything when he saw Chongzhen getting angry, but stood silently and watched him spread fire. It wasn't until Chongzhen was tired of beating things and stopped that he carefully observed.
After venting, Chongzhen sat weakly beside the dragon chair, and all the things on the dragon case were swept to the ground by him. The papers, pen and ink were all scattered on the ground, and the entire imperial study was as if it had just passed through a storm, messy!
"Cheng'en, prepare pen and ink, I will order these damn rogues to be strangled." After Chongzhen regained his composure, he sat back on the dragon chair with Wu Chengen's support.
Wu Chengen didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, and immediately came to the inner room that had not yet been affected, and took out spare pen and ink.
When Chongzhen was angry, he once thought about punishing all the generals who were left in Henan. But after he calmed down, he thought of Chen Qiyu again.
It was precisely because he killed Chen Qiyu that the generals who led the troops did not do anything. In the end, the situation in Henan plummeted, and Nanzhili Fengyang was also broken.
The lessons of the past are still vivid, and Chongzhen realized that he could not repeat the mistakes of the past, so he could only endure it for the time being. At present, his primary purpose is to exterminate this gang of rogues who are not burned by wildfires and blown by the spring breeze.
As for the generals who led the troops, it would not be too late to settle accounts with them in the future. The imperial tomb was excavated, the Huangjue Temple was burned, and Zhu Guoxiang was killed, and these hatreds Chongzhen will not be easily put down.
At present, Chongzhen has only one general who can handle the heavy task, and that is Lu Xiangsheng. He directly issued an order to promote Lu Xiang to the new governor of the five provinces, presiding over the encirclement and suppression of the Liukou in Henan Province.
In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, Chongzhen deliberately gave Lu Xiangsheng the power to mobilize elite soldiers from seven provinces, and more than 70,000 people will join the territory of Henan Prefecture. Together with the officers and soldiers of Henan Prefecture, they encircled and suppressed all the peasant armies that were in rebellion.
Lu Xiangsheng soon received the order to go to the Central Plains to take up his post, and the Central Plains and surrounding districts also began to frequently dispatch troops. The imperial soldiers and horses in various places began to advance towards the Central Plains, and the situation was extremely tense for a while.
In the meeting hall of Mao Mansion in Ye County, Mao Wenlong put down the Tang newspaper in his hand, and a smile appeared on his face.
All the generals who stayed in the conference hall gathered together, all looking at Mao Wenlong with a confused face, and for some reason the general soldiers suddenly became happy.
Mao Wenlong's gaze swept over the people in the hall one by one, and then he said softly: "It seems that this time the Holy Lord is really angry, and the soldiers and horses from all over the country have begun to gather in the Central Plains. And our Henan Mansion will surely become the main battlefield of this battle. ”
Chen Jisheng didn't understand that Henan Mansion had become the main battlefield, what was there to be happy about Mao Wenlong, he hesitated for a moment, and then asked: "Chief soldier, isn't it possible that our Ye County will also be involved?" ”
Mao Wenlong nodded and said, "Yes, so this time we can't continue to make a fortune in silence." It is also an inevitable trend to take the initiative, and we must ensure that Yexian County is not affected by the war. ”
After a pause, Mao Wenlong's gaze became extremely cold, and he continued coldly: "And your main task is to lead the war to Kaifeng, and both Luoyang and Luoyang can be used. Just can't let the war spread to Xuzhou, do you understand? ”
"I'll understand!" A room full of more than a dozen generals immediately got up and swore to Mao Wenlong one after another, saying that they would not let the war spread to Yexian or Xuzhou.
The war is about to start, Yexian has begun to become active, and 50,000 soldiers and horses have begun to assemble, ready to fight at any time.
And Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong of Fengyang, who were directly affiliated to the south, had a grudge over the capture of the little eunuch and the drum musical instrument in the Fengyang Palace. Li Zi formed an army and went west to Gansu. At this point, the general battle of the peasant army also became fragmented at this moment, and the division of troops began again as soon as the alliance was formed.
The situation in Henan Province has become foggy, the situation is ever-changing, and before the situation is clear, Mao Wenlong is not reckless. But in order to ensure that nothing went wrong, he still gave an order to Xu Fuzuo in Xianyang, asking him to divide 20,000 troops and come to Xuzhou to help.
After nearly a year of development, Xianyang has grown from the original 20,000 Dongjiang troops to the current 50,000 soldiers and horses. Although the newly recruited 30,000 recruits cannot be compared with the original Dongjiang Army, under the leadership of the Dongjiang Army, it is now a strong army.
It is not possible to fight with the Houjin army, but it is still a good choice to use the current peasant army and the imperial army to practice.
Mao Wenlong has always believed that the so-called elite soldiers are all fought, and they cannot be trained by training. Only the division of a hundred battles, the soldiers who have been baptized by blood and tears are the real soldiers.
These surviving soldiers are the real elite soldiers, and although the Houjin Army is powerful, it also has their limitations. They are mainly nomads, and on the plains they are extremely skilled in riding and archery. But in siege or defense, the Houjin army is not the opponent of the Ming army, both sides have their own strengths and weaknesses, and winning or losing depends on luck.
Mao Wenlong was preparing to send troops to participate in the war this time, but in fact, he secretly had the idea of training. The situation in the Central Plains has become more and more beyond Mao Wenlong's control, and the quiet development of the past two years has also given Mao Wenlong the opportunity to build a foundation.
At present, there is no need to worry about food, Mao Wenlong has nothing to worry about, and large-scale military training must be put on the agenda. It is good to be fully prepared for the next Houjin attack, this is a good opportunity for Mao Wenlong to train his troops, and if he misses this village, there will be no such shop, so he must not waste it.
Mao Wenlong, the imperial court and the peasant army, the three forces are all contained, and a dragon and tiger battle is about to begin. Who is the real lord of the Central Plains, who is the real winner in the end, success or failure in this move!
In addition to the tripartite forces, there is also a Houjin army watching from the sidelines, and it may come in at any time to intervene, and the situation is extremely unfavorable.
