Chapter 873: Alone

The "Red Banner Army" was frequently mobilized, and it never disturbed the people when it marched, and the officials and gentry and grass people were not surprised.

However, this time the movement was too big and there were many people, and there was no doubt that the armed march in Gyeonggi was one or two thousand miles, and it had the effect of showing off the muscles of the military and civilians of the Beijing Division.

The imperial court had just received Huang Han's recital, and Chongzhen convened important ministers on the platform as soon as possible, and he was indeed worried that there would be changes in the "Red Flag Army".

Because at this time, Liu Zhilun, Fang Zhenghua, Zhou Yuji, Huang Degong and others had already left the Beijing Division, and they took away forty or fifty thousand elite men and horses in the Beijing camp, and now they have entered Weihui Mansion.

In order to ensure the land of Gyeonggi, Chongzhen also went out and sent all the men and horses of the Beijing camp who could fight to strictly defend the Yellow River defense line.

Nominally, in addition to the men and horses who are fighting outside, there should be seventy or eighty thousand soldiers in the Beijing camp on the register, but Chongzhen is not stupid, he knows that most of these are shadow troops, and they are the empty quota eaten by the Xungui group.

When it was necessary to defend the Beijing Division, there were probably less than 20,000 soldiers in the Beijing battalion who could really take up arms to fight.

Coupled with the soldiers and horses of the Five Cities and the Jinyi Guard, the Beijing Division can organize forty or fifty thousand troops.

Moreover, except for the less than 10,000 Jinyi guards commanded by Li Ruolian, most of the rest are indiscriminate.

If Huang Han played into the well and took the opportunity to lead 30,000 elites to seize the capital, the consequences would be unimaginable.

If you are not afraid that the enemy is strong, you are afraid that there is no way to deal with it.

Over the years, Chongzhen has seen Huang Han's methods of reassuring the people, raising soldiers, and making money, and knows that too many courtiers have participated in the investment initiated by the "King of Hanjiang County".

People's hearts are not ancient, do the Ming Dynasty still have loyal ministers and good generals? Chongzhen was miserable in his heart, but he couldn't find someone to talk to.

Besides, he basically doesn't trust civil officials and military generals, and the most trusted eunuch Wang Chengen has no ability, so he can't say that he is ugly.

Chongzhen doesn't know people at all and can't use people, in fact, Zhao Shujiao, Man Gui, Cao Wenzhao, Lu Xiangsheng, etc., after their deaths, only Hong Chengchou, Chen Qiyu, Sun Chuanting, Zhou Yuji, You Shiwei, Hou Shilu and a few other people who can be used.

However, now Hong Chengchou is hiding on the plateau in Shaanxi and does not dare to return to the court, and it is estimated that he will inevitably be stabbed at the entrance of the vegetable market when he returns.

Even if Chongzhen wanted to keep Hong Chengchou, he couldn't do it, because the "Red Flag Daily" had been publishing articles commenting on the gains and losses of the Battle of Shaanxi for several months, and had already made them stinky by criticizing Hong Chengchou, Xiong Wencan, and so on.

If Huang Han refuses to live Hong Chengchou, he can still mobilize the civil officials and military generals of the Ming Dynasty to participate in the collective performance, Hong Chengchou is clearly the first sinner who lost the feudal domain, which is much more troubled than Sun Yuanhua at that time, and it is not enough to be a Zheng Dynasty Gang if he does not kill.

Although Chongzhen is stubborn and self-serving, but the ministers argue with reason, and it is an obvious reason, Chongzhen can only choose to compromise, Hong Chengchou wants to live and continue to be an official of the Ming Dynasty, it is impossible at all.

Chen Qiyu carried the black pot of failure to appease the Liukou, and because he couldn't be honest, lied about his military exploits, lost his state and county, and mistakenly sealed Xinjiang, he was impeached by the imperial historian Fu Yongchun, Gu Guobao and other officials.

The final result was that Tiqi arrested Chen Qiyu and sent him to Zhao Prison for strict interrogation, and a few months later Chen Qiyu was dismissed and sent to the army.

Chen Qiyu, who was already desperate, suddenly did a good thing, and was entrusted with a heavy responsibility by the "King of Hanjiang County", he was so disappointed in Chongzhen that it was impossible to turn back.

Sun Chuanting had already gotten what he wanted, and he had fulfilled his ambition in the battle for Korea, completing his plan to gather and annihilate 10,000 Manchu and Mongolian cavalry, and capturing Duoduo, the prince of Jiannuyu.

He fell in love with the collective of the "Red Flag Army", and looked forward to participating in leading such a mighty army to pacify Liaodong and recover Jiaozhi, which could no longer be used by Chongzhen.

In history, You Shiwei, Hou Shilu and several other Yulin generals were summoned by Chongzhen but were not reused, and now I am afraid it is even more impossible to serve the imperial court.

Because Wu Zimian, Fierce as a Tiger, Hu Dawei, and You Shiwei had already contacted Fang Liandong, they were discussing the specific matters of accepting the reorganization of the "Red Banner Army."

This can't be blamed for the disloyalty of these generals to the imperial court, as a lesson from the past, dozens of civil and military generals were killed because of the loss of the feudal domain, and of course they trembled.

Moreover, today's Yulin Town is blocked from contact with the imperial court by the Liukou, the Qing army, and the "Red Flag Army", and the lack of food and salary is unsustainable.

You Shiwei, Hou Shilu and other generals who were born in the military aristocracy of the Ming Dynasty were proud in their hearts and refused to be thieves, they retreated to the second place, and chose to take refuge in the "King of Hanjiang County", at the expense of losing the opportunity to support their families and eat empty quotas.

At this moment, Emperor Chongzhen felt very lonely, he was really alone, he looked at the more than 20 dignitaries standing under the throne, and said:

"The 'King of Hangang County' requested that 30,000 recruits of the 'Red Banner Army' be sent into the customs for a long march and training, and that they should march through the state capital county in the land of Gyeonggi until the Yellow River. What do you think? ”

The 30,000 "Red Banner Army" intended to cross the land of Gyeonggi, and Zheng Guochang of course got the news in advance, although he did not want his son-in-law to make extraneous branches before completing the "five-year Pingliao", but he did not want to see the Qing army and the Liukou coalition army cut off the Grand Canal.

When he saw the emperor's inquiry, he said frankly: "Your Majesty does not need to worry too much, this is a great thing!" The purpose of the "Red Flag Army" outside the Guanwai to move to the north bank of the Yellow River in the name of training is to seek fighter planes, which will greatly relieve the pressure faced by Lord Liu and Gonggong Fang. ”

Emperor Chongzhen executed a lot of civil and military generals and eunuchs who led to the fall of the feudal domain during this time, the largest civil official was Xiong Wencan, the governor of the five provinces, Chen Zubao, Zhang Qiping, Yan Jizu, and the highest military officers were Wu Guojun and Chen Guowei.

The great eunuch Wang Zhixin, Sun Maolin, Zheng Xizhao and other slaves of the Son of Heaven were not able to leave their lives, and they were also stabbed at the entrance of the vegetable market, and the Manchu Dynasty officials were panicked for a while.

Governor Wu was actually arrested by Ti Cai along with Governor Zhang Qiping, the chief eunuch Wang Zhixin, and the chief military officer Chen Guowei, but when the escort team to Datong was stopped by the "Red Banner Army".

Fang Liandong, the chief general of the "Red Banner Army" stationed in Shanxi, fabricated that a certain general under his command was riddled with injuries and illnesses, and heard that Lord Wu was proficient in medical skills, so he asked Tiqi to give convenience and leave Wu to treat and save people.

Ti Cai is a member of the Jinyi Guard, and the hundred household officials who lead the team are under the command of Lou Yun, who has been promoted to the same knowledge of the Jinyi Guard, and once followed Lou Yun to participate in the grassland surprise attack and made meritorious contributions, and the relationship with the "Red Flag Army" is very good.

Fang Liandong did not embarrass Jin Yiwei, wrote an official document to borrow Wu for a period of time, and after the patient's condition improved, he immediately sent a small banner of the "Red Banner Army" cavalry to escort Wu into Beijing.

Of course, borrowing Wu for treatment is a gimmick, and if you don't pay it back, it's certain.
