The fall of Kaifeng, for the imperial court is undoubtedly another heavy blow, hit the government and the opposition suddenly again a wave of chickens and dogs jumping, this time not only Kaifeng lost, but also took the life of Yang Wenyue, the governor of Baoding and more than 10,000 Baoding, Yanzhou officers and soldiers, after the defeat of the city of Kaocheng, Yang Wenyue was captured, most of the rest of the officers and soldiers were captured or dispersed on the spot, only a very small number of officers and soldiers escaped.

And in this battle alone, the imperial court lost two governor-level officials, and more than 20,000 officers and soldiers, and there was a vassal king like King Zhou who fell into the hands of the Xingtian Army, and what is even more infuriating is that after the King of Zhou was captured, he actually publicly surrendered to the Xingtian Army, and finally spoke for Xiao Xingtian, persuading Chongzhen to simply step down and give way, which made Chongzhen feel even more embarrassed, think about a vassal king of the royal family, all chose to surrender to the Xingtian Army, so does this mean that his world is no longer in prison?

This is not counting, at the end of March, there was a notice of the Xingtian Army and a leaflet distributed by the Xingtian Army in various parts of the Ming Dynasty, which also informed the world that the current emperor Zhu Youzhen's cronies Gao Qiqian had also surrendered to the Xingtian Army, in this notice, Gao Qiqian will Chongzhen Palace has a large amount of silver, but he is stingy to take it out to help the victims, and at the same time he is stingy with this as a soldier's salary, but he has repeatedly increased the salary of the people around the country. And spared the soldiers not to allow the army to fight with the Jiannu army, and sat back and watched the Jiannu wreak havoc in Jingfu, Shanxi, and Shandong, and at the same time was afraid that Lu Xiangsheng and Jiannu, who were fighting to the death, would consume their troops, so they ordered Gao Qiqian and Chen Xinjia to divide their troops from Lu Xiangsheng, in order to prevent Lu Xiangsheng and Jiannu from fighting to the death.

In addition, of course, this document is also indispensable to expose and criticize Yang Sichang's many dirty things in the court and many conspiracies between him and Gao Qiqian to control Lu Xiangsheng, including Yang Sichang and Zhu Youzhen's secret order for him to lead his troops to intercept the Xingtian Army and rescue the people from going south, and strictly ordering the government in Jingfu to prohibit the Xingtian Army from providing any kind of assistance to the Xingtian Army who went north to resist the captives, etc......

This notice to the world, is undoubtedly the biggest blow to the imperial court and the current emperor Zhu Youzhen, originally after the first battle of Qiu County, Gao Qiqian disappeared, Chongzhen and Yang Sichang both sent a large number of people in the Jingfu area to track down the whereabouts of Gao Qiqian, in order to see the dead to see the corpse, but in the end more than a month down, did not find the trace of Gao Qiqian, but there are rumors that Gao Qiqian was captured by Jiannu (when the guards abandoned Gao Qiqian and left, I thought it was Jiannu's sentinel who rushed towards them, The black light blinded the state without figuring it out), so Chongzhen and Yang Sichang stopped searching for Gao Qiqian.

They thought that Gao Qiqian was either taken captive by Jiannu and had already been killed and didn't know where he was lost, or it was very likely that Gao Qiqian had lost a large number of elite soldiers of the court because of his unfavorable affairs, and he was afraid that Chongzhen would find him to settle accounts after he went back, so he went incognito and found a place to hide, but he didn't expect Gao Qiqian to fall into the hands of the Xingtian Army in the end, and he also surrendered to the Xingtian Army, revealing so many secrets of the emperor and Yang Sichang, which made them lose face.

Chongzhen was originally narrow-minded, how could he stand this kind of anger, even if he smashed dishes and bowls in the palace, he scolded Gao Qiqian for not being a bastard, and he had no loyalty at all, he really should be cut with a thousand knives, and his bones were scattered, so Chongzhen was also seriously ill, and he seemed to be much older overnight, and even Yang Sichang secretly began to be annoyed, thinking that Yang Sichang couldn't help him.

And the matter of the Xingtian Army posting notices everywhere in the world, Yang Sichang did not dare to tell Chongzhen, and the reason why Chongzhen got this news was that the eunuchs of the Inner Service Province passed it on to him, and Chongzhen knew that Gao Qiqian betrayed him and surrendered to the Xingtian Army, and revealed many secret things in the court.

So Chongzhen immediately sent someone to tell the world, saying that what the Xingtianjun said was a lie, and refuted many things in the court disclosed by Gao Qiqian, saying that this was the Xingtianjun's fallacies to confuse the public, prohibiting anyone from spreading these news again, and strictly ordered the local government to strictly investigate the people who posted and distributed the notices of the Xingtianjun, and beheaded them on the spot.

As a result, a literary prison was suddenly set off between the government and the opposition, and the local government vigorously controlled the local people, and arrested many people for this reason.

However, since such things have spread, it is impossible to erase these things by controlling speech, not to mention that the situation in various places is chaotic, and the government's control over the local government is getting lower and lower, and it is impossible to fundamentally control the spread of this notice. It must be true, the credibility of many of the things he said is relatively large, so many people secretly scolded the current court is not a thing, especially in the north that has suffered from the construction of slaves, the common people are even more scolded, and they feel that the last bit of loyalty to the court has been completely lost at this time.

Think about these ordinary people, the unpaid taxes, in order to cope with the various taxes added by the court every year, it can be said that they have already been in the four walls, but now that the slaves are in the prison and harm them, the court has to pay for their lives to meet the needs of the slaves, and they are regarded as nothing, and when they are used, they are exploited like bones, but when they need the protection of the court, they are abandoned as if they were sloppy, and they don't care about their life or death.

There are even many people who even scold, saying that as long as the Xingtian Army goes to their place, they will definitely meet them backwards and follow the Xingtian Army, and the court government really can't let them do it.

Therefore, in this battle of public opinion, after having a high dive, public opinion began to tilt towards the side of the Xingtian Army.

After this incident, Chongzhen couldn't tolerate it anymore, and immediately ordered Yang Sichang to leave Beijing immediately, go to the governor of the world to exterminate the Xingtian Army, and no longer have to spend half a day in the middle of the court, in short, go as fast as you can, either Yang Sichang will go to kill the Xingtian Army, or don't think about returning to the capital.

Yang Sichang can be said to be driven out of the capital by Chongzhen like a lost dog, and with the 3,000 soldiers and horses of the Beijing battalion allocated to him by Chongzhen, he went south along the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, and rushed towards Nanzhili without delay.

In this way, Yang Sichang went south more than half a year earlier than in the original history, but this time Yang Sichang went south, which was much worse than the situation he encountered when he went south in history.

However, another change brought at the same time is that with the fall of favor of Yang Sichang, Sun Chuanting's fate has also changed, this time after Sun Chuanting entered the guard with Hong Chengchou, if it develops according to the original historical trajectory, with the contradiction between him and Yang Sichang, he will soon lose his official position and be arrested and questioned by Chongzhen, and put in prison, until Chongzhen 14 years later, it was able to be reactivated, but with the Xingtian Army disrupting the historical process, Yang Sichang gradually fell out of favor during this period because of the unfavorable suppression of the Xingtian Army. So that Sun Chuanting avoided the temporary bad luck, smoothly met Chongzhen, and in the right move, said his solution to the current general trend of the world, which won Chongzhen's joy, and ordered Sun Chuanting to be the governor of Baoding, Hebei, and Shandong military affairs, to prevent the Xingtian Army from continuing to invade the north.

At the same time, Hong Chengchou also took up the post of governor of Jiliao after the year, and led a large number of soldiers and horses to the north to sit in Jinzhou to prevent Jiannu from entering the Kou again, but Hong Chengchou slid towards the future according to the original trajectory of fate.

For Chongzhen to leave all the Shaanxi troops who entered the guard, Sun Chuanting is against it, in his opinion, these Shaanxi soldiers and horses are already the last elite of the Ming Dynasty, if they are left, then Shaanxi will definitely be very empty, and Li Zicheng has not been wiped out now, and is still hiding in the mountains around Shangluo, the strength of the Xingtian Army is getting bigger and bigger, whether it is Li Zicheng resurrected in Shaanxi, or the Xingtian Army sent to Shaanxi, Shaanxi will immediately be eroded, Shaanxi is not guaranteed, then there is no definite day in the world, Therefore, Sun Chuanting strongly asked Chongzhen to send the Shaanxi soldiers back to Shaanxi and re-train the new army outside the customs.

But for Sun Chuanting's opinion, Chongzhen couldn't follow it, Chongzhen had a hard time saying at this time, Xingtianjun launched a public opinion offensive during this time, and said that he wanted to negotiate peace with Jiannu and cut the land to pay compensation, his face was really unbearable, so even for the sake of face, he could no longer compromise with Jiannu, only to strengthen the defense of Shanhaiguan and Jinzhou to resist Jiannu entering the Kou again.

But now, because of Gao Qiqian, the bastard, first lost to the Xingtian Army in Zhanghe, and then lost to the Jiannu Army in Qiu County, tens of thousands of Guanning Army, which was regarded as the elite by Chongzhen, was tossed by Gao Qiqian, which made the current Jiliao area very empty, Sun Chuanting said that it was easy to reorganize and train the new army, but the training of troops requires money, how to solve the problem of money? Could it be true that all the valuable things in the palace were collected, and the internal money was swept and used for military training? That's a joke! As the last financial reserve that he can control, the treasury must not be used lightly, and once it is taken out, wouldn't it be tantamount to admitting that Gao Qiqian said that he has a lot of money in the palace?

At present, Henan is lost, the situation in Shanxi is very tense, Shaanxi is in ruins, and Jingfu and the central and northern parts of Shandong have just been invaded by Jiannu, and there must be a place to ask for money!

Therefore, Chongzhen could only choose to let these Shaanxi soldiers led by Hong Chengchou stay and take them to Shanhaiguan and Jinzhou to set up defenses, as for the matter of organizing and training the new army, he could only let Sun Chuanting go to Baoding to find a way.

Sun Chuanting was very dissatisfied with Chongzhen's decision, and asked him to go to Baoding to train the new army in Hebei, it was a joke, Baoding Mansion and Jingfu had just been looted by Jiannu, and the poor in the treasury in Baoding Mansion were about to run rats, what about the money for training the new army? What about grain? And Yang Wenyue took away 10,000 soldiers and horses in Baoding, and the old book was tossed, which is simply to let him cook without rice!

But whether Sun Chuanting is happy or not, Chongzhen has no better way to deal with this situation at the moment, Sun Chuanting can only set off in the capital and go to Baoding Mansion to take up his post as the governor of Baoding.
