Text Chapter 488 Shanxi Thieves Annihilated

Speaking of which, the four-way official army that attacked under Xu Dingchen was the farthest distance between Liu Renyu's department and Taiyuan, and the other officials and troops all fought with the thieves early.

Thinking that these thieves can't even defeat Cao Wenzhao's troops, and now encountering the Jingbian Fort army, which is stronger than Cao Wenzhao, can only be a dead end.

Gao Yingxiang was defeated and killed, the King of the Troubled Times was defeated and killed, and the Mixed World King and the Han brothers who had attacked Zhenbei Fort before were all killed, and the armor-breaking cone was also killed.

Li Jiye and Yang Desheng adhered to Liu Renyu's order, and for the thieves, only the captain and the officers above the captain were killed, and the rest of the thieves were not asked, and they were also courteous to the people, and sent special personnel to escort them to Jingbian Fort to be planted.

Liu Renjie shouldered the secret mission issued by Liu Renyu, for Gao Yingxiang's thieves, except for Li Zicheng, Li Guo, Yu Bin, Gu Junen, Bai Guangsi, Gao Jie and Zhang Xianzhong, the rest of the bandit leaders were all executed, and all the ordinary thieves and homeless people were sent to Jingbian Fort for placement.

Cao Wenzhao's style was very different from that of the Jingbianbao Army, all thieves, regardless of officers and soldiers, were executed, and even the rescued people were mostly violated by the officials and soldiers.

Cao Wenzhao's soldiers and horses were extremely tight, and he only relied on the reward obtained by killing the thieves to supplement his family, so the number of beheadings reported by his officers and soldiers was more than the total number of beheadings reported by the three Jingbianbao troops.

When Sun Wuji, who stayed in Taiyuan Zuo Jin, received the displaced people from Cao Wenzhao's hands, he found that the displaced people brought back by Cao Wenzhao's troops were very few young and strong men, but there were many women and children.

As a battle-hardened veteran, what did Cao Wenzhao's subordinates do, Sun Wuxian can be said to be a doorman, he knows the truth of the matter, but he doesn't want to say anything, except for the Jingbianbao Army, the officers and soldiers are doing this, he is powerless to change, and he doesn't want to stop it, so let's do it.

Xu Dingchen, who was far away in Taiyuan, and Chen Dajin and Yan Siyin, two fathers-in-law, waited for less than five days to wait for the news of the great victory, and it was not the news that the thieves were defeated, but all the thieves were annihilated.

If this news had been reported by other ordinary soldiers, Xu Dingchen, Chen Dajin, and Yan Siyin might not have believed it, but if Liu Renyu and Cao Wenzhao had been replaced, they could not believe it.

They undoubtedly believed the battle report reported by the people under their hands, Xu Dingchen, Chen Dajin and Yan Siyin read the documents sent by Liu Renyu, Li Jiye, Liu Renjie and Cao Wenzhao, and they did not send anyone to test their merits, and they all took what several generals said.

After hearing that Liu Renyu had sent people to return to Shaanxi with 150,000 rescued displaced people, Xu Dingchen specially ordered that all prefectures, prefectures, and counties along the road must provide grain to the displaced people who had returned to Shaanxi.

The magistrates of Fuzhou and counties saw that the people around the emperor had spoken, so they opened the treasury and distributed grain to the displaced people passing by, but when the grain was distributed, they also needed the Jingbian Fort Army to leave documents as evidence, otherwise there would be no voucher in the future, and the imperial court would have to levy Liao salaries, and it would be difficult for them to be local officials.

This matter is not difficult at all, Liu Renyu specially sent Liu Renjie to handle this matter, and Liu Renjie's soldiers and horses were acted by Sun Wuji.

The Jingbian Fort army once again joined forces, and together with Cao Wenzhao's troops and horses, they went south to the part north of the Yellow River in Jinnan and Henan, and reported to Zhang Zongheng, the governor of Xuanda, to jointly exterminate the remaining thieves.

Zhang Zongheng and the eunuchs Xie Wenju and Sun Maolin, who supervised the army, were all surprised when they heard that Liu Renyu and Cao Wenzhao, the strongest of the officials and troops in the northwest, had arrived.

Zhang Zongheng and others are in charge of the area of 150,000 thieves, but the official army is only 7,000 people, which is really not enough, and now Liu Renyu and Zuo Liangyu have come to the aid with 20,000 elite soldiers, and the situation is naturally very different.

Liu Renyu and Cao Wenzhao are both impatient, and after coming to Jinnan, they have been non-stop, only going to the areas where thieves often haunt.

The troops of these two generals are all cavalry, and there are even military dogs chasing the whereabouts of the thieves.

Only less than fifteen days later, the shaking of the sky that had raged for a long time in the north of the Yellow River in southern Jin and Henan, Cao Cao Luo Rucai, mixed 100,000 Ma Jinzhong, Li Yangchun, the king of the four heavens, the king of mixed heaven, Hui Dengxiang, Liu Guoneng, the sweeping king Zhang Yichuan, Ge Li Yan, the reincarnation of the king Xu Chang, shot the sky Li Wanqing, the king of Zuojin He Jin, the king of Xingshi Wang Guoning, and Xue Rengui, all of them were executed, and none of them escaped.

For all these thieves, Liu Renyu followed the usual practice, the captain and above were all killed, all the horses were taken away, and the gold and silver treasures obtained and the exploits of the thieves were all shared with Zhang Zongheng, Xu Dingchen, Chen Dajin, Yan Siyin, Xie Wenju, Sun Maolin, and generals from all walks of life.

In this operation, several fathers-in-law commanded Ruoding, should be the first meritorious, Zhang Zongheng, Xu Dingchen strategized, personally commanded the troops, went to the battlefield to kill the thieves, and was the second merit, and the rest of the battle was divided by Liu Renyu and Cao Wenzhao and other cadres.

As for the rescued displaced people, they were sent to Yansui Military Town for resettlement.

Zhang Zongheng and Xu Dingchen felt that Liu Renyu had helped them quell the bandits and was willing to settle the displaced people, so they were naturally grateful to Dade and strictly ordered all prefectures and counties along the road to take out food to meet the more than 130,000 displaced people who went to Yansui Military Town in Jingbianbao.

Chen Dajin and Yan Siyin also issued the same order, saying that they were in response to the homeless people, and the Liao salary was completely exempted that year.

Only after receiving such orders, and worrying about the future, were the prefectures and counties willing to help the displaced people.

After dealing with the matter of resettlement of displaced people, Zhang Zongheng, Xu Dingchen, Chen Dajin, Yan Siyin, Sun Maolin, Xie Wenju, and others began to discuss the issue of how to repay their merits.

There is no doubt that such a good event to exterminate the thieves in Shanxi, the first person to report it will definitely make Long Yan happy, so there is naturally a special and a saying here.

Originally, the person in charge of Shanxi was Xu Dingchen, and it stands to reason that it is better for Xu Dingchen to report to the thieves, but Zhang Zongheng, the governor of Xuanda, is in charge of Xuanfu Datong, and this time the thieves are also contributing, and his official position is naturally higher than Xu Dingchen, and it stands to reason that he seems to be more qualified than Xu Dingchen to report this matter.

If this is the case, several eunuchs from the palace are also qualified, they are originally the superintendent of the army, and they are responsible for supervision.

In this way, several bigwigs finally agreed to jointly report the report.

The thieves are mainly active in Shanxi, and the extermination of the thieves should be reported by Xu Dingchen, Chen Dajin, Yan Siyin, Xie Wenju, and Sun Maolin each according to the seniority in the palace, and signed their respective names, then Zhang Zongheng's name, then Xu Dingchen's name, and then Liu Renyu, Cao Wenzhao, who actually did not contribute, and Zuo Liangyu, Zhang Yingchang and other military generals who actually did not contribute much.

It seems that Zuo Liangyu, Zhang Yingchang and other generals, that is, after the Jingbianbao army resolved the battle, they sent people to share the results. They all felt 120,000 happy to meet Liu Renyu, a general who worked diligently and didn't even want military merits.

As everyone knows, Liu Renyu's ambition is no longer on being promoted to become rich, and he has more important things to do.

In this way, after consultation and compromise by all parties, the excerpt that succeeded in suppressing the thieves on the Shanxi side was sent to the Beijing division at an expedited speed of 600 miles to show the emperor.

Like this kind of good news, the speed of transmission is naturally not slow, the messenger of the good news set off from Taiyuan, crossed the Taihang Mountain, entered the north Zhili, and then entered the Beijing Division, it only took four days to arrive.

It seems that this good news reached the Ministry of War and the Cabinet Department, and Zhang Fengyi, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and Wen Tiren, the head of the cabinet, were overjoyed when they heard it, and the two immediately went to the Wuying Palace, preparing to report the matter to the emperor.

Above the Wuying Palace, Chongzhen buried his head in the papers, one after another, and kept looking at the folds on the table, there was not much good news on it, and there was a lot of bad news.

Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan drought, the Yellow River according to the custom, is a big flood, there are too many tax arrears in various places, the officials are attacking Wen Tiren again, Chongzhen is upset when he sees it, he sometimes throws out a number of twists in a fit of anger.

In the end, not long after, he asked Wang Chengen to pick up the fold and show him, and he had to read it patiently.

"Great companion, when the emperor was in power in the past, the officials gave Wei Eunuch Cultivator Temple, I didn't see that they were short of money, why am I short of money everywhere in Daming, I heard that there was a famine in the prosperous and rich Jiangnan, do you say this is ridiculous." Chongzhen patiently watched the twists and turns for a while, and finally couldn't help it, and wanted to find Wang Chengen to talk about it.

"This .....," Wang Chengen is not a stupid person, he naturally knows where the crux of these problems lies, the court has become like this, of course, it is caused by the Donglin Party people who know that they damage the public and private interests and constantly infringe on the country, but the emperor is still reusing the Donglin Party, so he can only say it differently.

"Long live the master, these things, the old slave is not very clear, the old slave thinks that it is because Wei Zhongxian, the old man messed up the government, and our Ming Dynasty was miserable, I Daming hurt the vitality, originally after you ascended the throne, the people are in the Ying Dynasty, it stands to reason that my Ming Dynasty's vitality should also be restored, not to build a slave, thieves, natural disasters keep making trouble for us, we Daming has fallen into such a situation." Wang Chengen tried his best to push all the problems of Daming elsewhere.

Chongzhen listened to this answer, first was silent for a while, then shook his head and smiled bitterly, without saying a word, after a while, he asked Wang Chengen again: "Big companion, I heard that Liu Renyu was transferred to Shanxi to suppress thieves, you said that he went, can he be leveled by thieves in one fell swoop?" ”

"Long live the master, the old slaves of others dare not say, if Liu Renyu goes to Shanxi, the good news will definitely come soon." Wang Chengen said firmly.

"Oh, yes, you think so?" Chongzhen said with a smile.

"The old slave only knows that this person has not lost a battle since he joined the army, so the old slave thinks that he will definitely exterminate the thieves in Shanxi." Wang Chengen affirmed.

"Well, there's some truth to what you're saying." Chongzhen nodded.
