Volume 8 Chapter 87 Danger lurks

The New Year is approaching, the whole capital is jubilant, this time, the people can finally have a good year with peace of mind, because the thieves have almost been exterminated, and Jiannu has also been defeated by the imperial court.

It is rumored that the imperial army captured nearly 500,000 anti-thieves in the northwest, and the anti-thieves could no longer jump.

It is rumored that Jiannu was defeated by the imperial army in Liaodong, not only most of the land in Liaodong was recovered by the imperial court, but even the eldest son of the slave chieftain Taiji was captured.

More than 20 years, since the end of Wanli, it is the disaster of party contention, the disaster of building slaves, and the disaster of eunuchs, this human disaster has not stopped, there are anti-thieves in the Ming Dynasty to make chaos everywhere, and there are slaves outside, and the people of the capital can be said to have been worried.

Now that the thieves are gone, the Jiannu has also been defeated, what party fights, what eunuch parties have long disappeared, the peaceful and prosperous era has finally come, can the people not celebrate?

Of course, these are all illusions, and they are fakes that Chongzhen listened to Xue Guoguan's suggestion and let the General Administration Department publicize through Di Bao!

Chongzhen wanted to be the master of the Ming Dynasty too much, so as soon as Xue Guoguan proposed, he agreed without hesitation, but Xue Guoguan wanted to get rid of the "stigma" of "Qin Hui in the present world".

He took great pains to do this, he not only ruthlessly dismissed the general political envoy and replaced it with his own person, but also personally wrote a lot of copies of the palace, deliberately removed Zhang Bin's name, and counted the credit for exterminating the rebels and defeating Jiannu to Chongzhen's head, so as to pat Chongzhen's ass, and at the same time dilute the influence of Zhang Bin's "Yue Fei" on him.

The effect of his trick can be described as surprisingly good, the people of the capital did not spread the follow-up news of "Zhang Bin's unjust death in the Storm Pavilion", but continued to spread all kinds of good news, and the discussion of Xue Guoguan's "Qin Hui in the present world" gradually decreased, and the court officials were even more realistic, they saw that Chongzhen was as favored as ever to Xue Guoguan, Zhang Bin did not take the lead in conflict with Xue Guoguan, and the disdain and defense for Xue Guoguan were slowly relaxed, especially those corrupt officials and corrupt officials, as soon as the limelight passed, they plunged into Xue Guoguan's arms again, buying and selling officials, Giving and accepting bribes, busy and happy.

Chongzhen was even more unbelievable, he was also deceived by this illusion created by Xue Guoguan, thinking that the world was really going to be peaceful, and he was about to become the master of the Ming Dynasty!

Is this the case?

Of course not, Chongzhen is just dreaming about the Spring and Autumn Festival.

First of all, the situation in Liaodong is not optimistic, Xue Guoguanbai gave Huang Taiji a big gift, and put back all the foot soldiers of Zhang Bin's captured Manchu Eight Banners and Han Eight Banners, and the overall combat power of Houjin actually did not lose much!

Zhang Bin killed his 30,000 or 40,000 horses in one go, but these 30,000 or 40,000 horses are not irreplaceable, the basic establishment of ordinary foot soldiers in the Eight Banners of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty is still there, and after Huang Taiji has to go back to the captives, he is ruthless, not only making up for all the lost men and horses, but even expanding the foot soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty to 60,000 people.

At this time, the army of the Manchurian Eight Banners and the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty alone in his hands reached a terrifying 240,000, and now that most of the territory of Liaodong has been recaptured by the Ming Dynasty, his defensive pressure has suddenly doubled, if he really wants to fight, he can even mobilize 200,000 troops at one time, if you add the 100,000 troops of the Mengbaqi, he can organize 300,000 coalition troops to make a big counterattack!

At this time, he was taking advantage of the opportunity of Chongzhen and Xue Guoguan to join forces to clean up Zhang Bin and frantically train his army.

Not only that, he is also frantically casting tiger squatting cannons, crazy armor, the last time he entered Kou Xuanfu Town, although he "helplessly" retreated, all the captured people also returned to the Ming Dynasty, but the food and property he looted was not returned to the Ming Dynasty at all, these grains were enough for his more than 200,000 troops to eat for a few months, and these goods were enough for him to exchange enough copper and iron from the Ming profiteers to cast artillery and build armor.

He is going to equip all the 120,000 foot soldiers of the Eight Banners into heavy infantry, and then each flag is equipped with a hundred tiger squat cannons!

This guy, if he is really ready, Liaodong is in danger again, because Chongzhen is like a brain in water, and has been unwilling to appoint Liaodong Jingluo or Jiliao Governor, although Liaodong has nearly 300,000 Ming troops at this time, there is no unified command, Liaodong Army, Qin Army, Dongjiang Army and Fuguang Army are all independent, each guarding their own area, no one can control whom, if Huang Taiji leads an army of 300,000 to kill, Haizhou City is only 40,000 Qin Army, Phoenix City is only 50,000 Fuguang Army, The crazy attack of the top Jiannu is still unknown!

Liaodong is in a precarious situation, it only depends on when Huang Taiji will attack, and the situation in the northwest is not much better.

At this time, it was the peak of the Xiaoice River, the drought in the northwest was getting more and more serious, the farmland was basically no harvest, the people had nothing to eat, and the local officials sent by Xue Guoguan did not care about the life or death of the people, they did not levy and expropriate the people, it was good, as for what disaster relief and rescue, no one did it at all.

This has led to more and more hungry people in the northwest, there are many hungry people, and the hungry have no choice but to look for food everywhere, so that a large-scale homeless people have been formed, these homeless people are almost a copy of the peasant army, once people are hungry, then what does it matter what the king's law, they are robbing when they see food, eating when they see things, what rebellion and killing heads, they have never thought about it, if they don't rob, they will starve to death, and if they rob at least they can eat enough, who cares about killing heads!

These circumstances were also concealed by those local officials appointed by Xue Guoguan, because they didn't want to lose their officials, and the officials who had been bought with a relationship with great difficulty, if they lost them, wouldn't they have lost all their money, and if there were thieves in their jurisdiction, those who were in charge according to the law would definitely be wiped out, so they all chose to conceal it and not report it, as long as the thieves did not besiege the state capital and county seat, and did not come to ask for their lives, they would not be angry!

Chongzhen was deceived and thought that the world was really peaceful, but in fact, the northwest was already full of homeless people at this time, and the land was full of anti-thieves, but it had not yet gathered together to form a scale.

At this time, Zhang Xianzhong was hiding in the Daba Mountain, sending people to infiltrate everywhere, contacting a small group of displaced people, and inquiring about the news of the emperor's relatives, and his target had slowly pointed to Bashu, the capital of Sichuan Chengxuan's political envoys.

Li Zicheng is also hiding in the Qinling Mountains and is looking around, and he will also slowly transfer the target to Henan Chengxuan Political Envoy Division, Shaanxi He can't go back, because there are 30,000 Shaanxi soldiers under Governor Zheng Chongjian, 10,000 Qin troops under the general soldier He Renlong, and 30,000 Henan troops stationed near Tongguan, Shanxi He also did not dare to go, because there were 60,000 Shanxi troops led by Zuo Liangyu, looking for it, he had to transfer the target to Henan.

There is also the fifth battalion of the left of the revolution is also hiding in the Dabie Mountains and is about to move, they have not been encircled and suppressed, and there is no loss of strength at all, but they were frightened by Zhang Bin's momentum and temporarily captured the mountain, as long as Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong make a move and attract the imperial army, they will definitely seize the opportunity to run out and loot.

Da Ming is in danger at this time, but Chongzhen is still immersed in the false Taiping made up by Xue Guoguan, and next, he is afraid that he will be dizzy like Yang Sichang by the anti-thief and Jiannu's slap on the left and the right slap!
