Zhang Bin made a comeback, directly with the right capital imperial history and the secretary of the military department, the governor of the five provinces of soldiers and horses, specifically responsible for the suppression of thieves!

As soon as this news was announced, the entire court was fried again, and all the officials of the Manchu Dynasty, whether they were loyal and traitorous, whether they were eunuchs or not, whether they were Wen Tiren's henchmen or not, all the officials were surprised.

Everyone understands why Zhang Bin was stripped of all his real power by Chongzhen, there are more officials like this in the Ming Dynasty, not to mention anything else, just say that the famous Yu Qian and Qi Jiguang, are they incapable, have they not made immortal feats, these are meaningless, as long as the emperor feels that you can't use it, no matter how powerful you are, it's useless!

Salted fish can also turn over, this is quite rare in the Ming officialdom, Yu Qian can't do it, Qi Jiguang can't do it, once people like them are salty, they can only be salty to death, the ruthlessness of the emperors of the Ming Dynasty is famous.

I didn't expect that there would be an accident like Zhang Bin in the Ming Dynasty, Wen Tiren didn't expect it, and other officials didn't expect it.

Only Zhang Bin expected this, because he knew that Chongzhen would have to use him sooner or later, because Chongzhen was not only suspicious by nature but also stubborn and self-serving, and to put it nicely, he was a little unusual, and if it was not good, he was a little neurotic.

If he really wants to do something, he won't ask anyone's opinion, and he won't care if the Manchu Dynasty civil and military Tong disagrees, just do it if he thinks of it, he has this problem, historically, he appointed Chen Qiyu, Xiong Wencan, Yang Sichang, etc., all of them are the same as convulsions, no matter whether the Manchu Dynasty civil and military Tong disagrees, or even whether the people appointed by him disagree, he wants you to go, you have to go, you don't want to go.

Among them, the most typical is Xiong Wencan, he really doesn't want to be the governor of the five provinces, as a result, no matter how he shirks it, Chongzhen just let him go.

Perhaps, this is also the reason why Chongzhen can persist for ten more years than the apocalypse.

Because Chongzhen at least launched madness and had his own opinions, Tianqi was a pure marionette, and his fate was in the hands of Wei Zhongxian, so, the same Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the situation of the Tianqi Dynasty was even better than that of the Chongzhen Dynasty, but Tianqi only lasted for seven years, and as a result, all his princes, including his own, died unclear; But Chongzhen persisted for seventeen years, and his prince, Zhu Cihuan, the longest-lived mourning king, even lived to the forty-seventh year of Kangxi!

Of course, because of the appearance of Zhang Bin's anomaly at this time, Chongzhen must have insisted on it for more than seventeen years, unless he had a nerve and slaughtered Zhang Bin.

Although he was a little nervous, he was not nervous enough to kill indiscriminately, and he was occasionally wise.

Like this time, he was wise and reactivated Zhang Bin.

After Zhang Bin took office, he didn't publicize it everywhere, he didn't even go to the yamen of the military department, but just handed over the matter of teaching the prince to Wen Zhenmeng and Kong Zhenyun, and then set off with Zhang Cha, Zhao Ru, Wang Er, Zhang Pan, four pro-guard commanders and Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu, Ai Nengqi and other eight young generals.

On the surface, he only brought more than 10 personal entourage, but in fact, the thousands of personal guards selected had already set off for the five northwestern provinces under various identities.

At this time, the situation is actually quite bad, the reason why Chongzhen is so anxious to enable Zhang Bin is really forced to have no choice, because the anti-thieves have captured the capital city of Luzhou, as well as Lu'an, Yingshan, Huoshan, Mall, Macheng and other states and counties around Dabie Mountain, Nanzhili, Henan, Huguang and other places are frequently in a hurry, and if you don't care about it, the anti-thieves are really going to turn the sky upside down!

In order not to cause panic, Chongzhen has been suppressing these news, and even the officials in the court do not know, only a few scholars in the cabinet have seen the twists and turns of emergency reports from all over the country.

How could Zhang Bin deal with such a bad situation?

He was not in a hurry, because in his impression, in addition to capturing Fengyang, the anti-thieves did not make much movement in other places in Nanzhili, at least not before Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong founded the country, that is to say, the target of the anti-thieves was not Luzhou Mansion, let alone Nanzhili, they did this just to attract the attention of the imperial court.

The anti-thief's trick to attack the west can also scare and scare Chongzhen, Zhang Bin is not worried at all, after he came out of the capital, he did not go south, but rushed all the way to the east.

Of course, he is not the same as Chongzhen, he is nervous, the reason why he ran east, is to go to Dagu Port to take a boat, because his first destination is Fengyang, and Fengyang is more than two thousand miles away from the capital, even if he changes horses and does not change people, day and night, all the way to the wild, it will take at least three or four days to reach Fengyang, and the boat is different, with the speed of the wheel, it only takes less than two days, he can rush to Nanzhili Yingtianfu, and from Yingtianfu to Fengyang Mansion is only two or three hundred miles, can lie on the boat and sleep, Naturally, he would not choose to run wild day and night on the official road.

In this way, in less than three days, he miraculously rushed to Fengyang Mansion City, and at this time, Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chuanting, Qi Yuangong, and Cao Wenzhao had already received an official document from Zhang Bin ordering the post station to be urgently transmitted for 800 miles, and rushed to Fengyang Mansion City early.

At about one o'clock in the afternoon, outside the south gate of Fengyang Mansion, a group of civil servants and military generals dressed in official robes stood neatly in the cold wind, the weather was very cold, but many people's hearts were hot, because their old boss, their backbone, Zhang Bin, was coming.

In less than a moment, the sound of rolling horses' hooves sounded in the distance, and a group of more than ten horses galloped from the official road in the south like a whirlwind, Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chuanting and others couldn't help but show a look of anticipation on their faces, and when the more than ten horses came closer, they saw that the leader was Zhang Bin, and the faces of the four of them showed excitement.

Zhang Bin was also very excited, it had been almost a year, he finally saw these old subordinates again, the war horse had not stopped, he flew down, then threw the reins back, walked to everyone, hugged Lu Xiangsheng, patted him on the back, and said excitedly: "Jiandou, long time no see." ”

Immediately afterwards, he let go of Lu Xiangsheng and hugged Sun Chuanting, then Qi Yuangong and Cao Wenzhao.

His greeting was a bit peculiar, but everyone felt his sincere friendship, and they didn't resist it, but felt that it was very useful.

When he let go of Cao Wenzhao, a general next to him also took the initiative to open his arms, ready to greet his hug, perhaps, he thought that this was the Governor's habitual way of greeting.

Zhang Bin couldn't help but be stunned, who is this, he looked at it carefully, it seemed to be a little familiar, but he really couldn't remember who this stupid big man was, he couldn't help but be surprised: "You are?" ”

The general shrank his hand in embarrassment, and then bowed his hand respectfully: "Under the British public seat of the last general, Huang Degong, deputy commander of the Beijing camp, see Lord Governor!" ”

Engage in a long day this guy is a confidant of the British public, no wonder a little familiar, Huang Degong is also a famous general at the end of the Ming Dynasty, he is most famous for loyalty, in history, after the capture of Jinling City, Emperor Hongguang of the Southern Ming Dynasty fled directly to his military camp, it can be seen that his loyalty is famous, and in the end he did not live up to the trust of Emperor Hongguang, swore to protect Emperor Hongguang, but unfortunately, in the end he was killed by the cold arrow of the Qing army, which is really sad and lamentable.

Zhang Bin has always had a good impression of such a loyal general, but it doesn't seem good to give people a hug when they meet for the first time, he doesn't know how to greet him, and Sun Chuanting next to him suddenly walked up and introduced enthusiastically: "Hushan is a famous general in Beijing, and he is the most fierce under the British public seat, and he is nicknamed Huang Chuangzi." ”

As soon as Zhang Bin heard Sun Chuanting's words, he understood that this was his own person, he was stunned for a moment, and then stepped forward and patted Huang Degong's shoulder and said: "Hushan, you don't have to be so restrained, you should also know that Bo Ya and I are actually veterans under the British Princess, and everyone is our own people." ”

When Huang Degong heard this, he smiled and said: "The last general understands, before coming, the grandfather and the prince of the country told the last general, let me listen to Lord Zhang." ”

Zhang Bin knew that the grandfather he was talking about was not the current British prince Zhang Zhiji, but the old British prince Zhang Weixian, and the son in his mouth was Zhang Zhiji, and the real British prince Zhang Shize, the generals of the British princess line, were habitually called Xiao Shizi.

This is enough to show that Huang Degong has been following the British Duke for a long time, and he is an absolutely trustworthy cronie, Zhang Bin nodded, and then raised his hand and said: "Okay, the military situation is urgent, everyone doesn't have to refuse the vulgar courtesy, let's go back, Jiandou, Hushan, let's find a place to discuss." ”

He meant that the other civil and military generals could go back to their respective homes, and he was going to have a meeting to discuss the military situation.

The highest position of the Wenchen military general standing in the back is the Fengyang prefect, Zhang Bin didn't know him at all, and he didn't have time to greet people at this time, so he just let them disperse.

As for the place where the meeting was held, there was no need to find a place to hold the meeting, Fengyang had a central government left behind to guard the Yamen, but at this time, all the commanders who stayed behind in the division were all pulled by Chongzhen to cut down, and it was good to use it as a temporary governor's palace.

The group talked and laughed all the way, and slowly walked towards the Yamen of the Central Capital Left Behind, and the other scattered officials secretly skimmed each other, and couldn't help but be surprised in their hearts, this governor has a really wide heart, and the situation is so erosive that he can still laugh!

Of course Zhang Bin can laugh, the peasant army is actually nothing in his eyes, if he has tens of thousands of cavalry under his command, it is easy to exterminate the peasant army, although there are not so many cavalry at this time, it is just that the peasant army cannot be exterminated, if he wants to say that he will lose the battle, it is basically non-existent, just with Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chuanting, Qi Yuangong, Cao Wenzhao These fierce people, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong have to lie down when they meet!

At this time, what he was thinking about was not the question of whether he would lose at all, but how to catch the main force of the peasant army and beat him hard, as soon as he came to the study of the Dusi Yamen, he ordered Zhang Cha to take out the map, spread it on the desk, and then summoned Lu Xiangsheng and Huang Degong to the desk and discussed.

He first asked Huang Degong: "Hushan, how many men can you gather?" ”

On the way over, he had already understood, Chongzhen sent Huang Degong to come over to rectify the soldiers and horses of Nanzhili, the battle of Fengyang, directly exposed a problem, that is, the military department of the southern capital and the division of the central capital are simply useless, the entire Nanzhili, plus the central capital Fengyang Mansion has more than 50 guards, nearly 300,000 in the formation of guards, so that more than 100,000 peasant troops easily took the Zhongdu Fengyang Mansion, and after taking it, the thieves also raged in Fengyang Mansion for more than ten days, and the entire Nanzhili did not organize a little man to recover Fengyang Mansion, which shows the laxity of military discipline.

When Huang Degong heard this, he couldn't help but be ashamed and said: "This, the last general has just arrived, and the nobles in Nandu don't seem to want to deal with the last general, and they haven't given a word after a few days, and the last general really doesn't know how many people can be gathered." ”

These nobles have all become old oilmen, and they even dare to disobey Chongzhen's will, they are afraid that they don't know how many eyes Lord Yan has, Zhang Bin couldn't help but snort coldly: "Who is in charge of affairs in Nandu now?" ”

Huang Degong said with some disdain: "It's Xu Hongji, the Duke of Wei." ”

Wei Guogong is the king of Zhongshan after Xu Da, his ancestors can be described as famous, but they belong to Hongwu Xungui, this is the world of Yongle Xungui, and the British Duke is the boss of Yongle Zhuduke, Huang Degong naturally will not urinate the Wei Guogong of Hongwu.

This pee or not is not the key, the key is that Xu Hongji, the Duke of Wei, is too disagreeable, the anti-thieves have all hit Nanzhili, the central capital Fengyang Mansion has been conquered, and the ancestral graves of the royal family have been dug up, and he is still in this yang and yin, which is simply unbearable.

Zhang Bin said coldly: "That's okay, this expedition to Luzhou doesn't count on Nanzhili's men and horses, but, in order to prevent the thieves from running back and forth, this Nanzhili still has to be guarded, wait for me to write a letter, you take it to Jinling to Xu Hongji, the Duke of Wei, if he dares to disobey the yang again, he can't say it, then he can only play the emperor and see if he can live!" ”

Such a good opportunity for meritorious service, it's a pity, Huang Degong heard this, and could only regretfully bow his hand and say: "Thank you, sir." ”

Zhang Bin waved his hand and asked Qi Yuangong again: "Yuangong, how is the Qi family army now." ”

Qi Yuangong hurriedly bowed his hand and said: "The last general has already ordered them to assemble in the Dongfan Guard to stand by, if you take a boat, it is estimated that you will be able to arrive in Jinling in one day, and counting the time of the transmission, it will be two days." ”

When Zhang Bin heard this, he shook his head and said, "No, the fleet of the sailors can't be exposed yet, and they can't be allowed to go straight to Jinling by boat." ”

After that, he pointed to the map and said: "In this way, let them land in Songjiang Mansion and rush to Hezhou by land, according to the latest information of the Ministry of War, the thieves seem to intend to take Hezhou and enter Jinling." ”

"Ahh When everyone heard this, they were all shocked, Hezhou can be next to Yingtianfu, less than 100 miles away from Jinling, if the thieves take Hezhou, then Jinling City will be dangerous!

Seeing everyone's surprised appearance, Zhang Bin couldn't help but smile and said, "What's the matter, what kind of expression do you have, do you think the thieves dare to attack Jinling?" ”

What are the thieves not daring to, they even took the central capital Fengyang Mansion, why didn't they dare to attack the southern capital Jinling.

Seeing everyone's puzzled expressions, Zhang Bin couldn't help but shake his head and explained: "You guys, don't fall for the anti-thief plan to attack the west, Jinling is not Fengyang, Fengyang is at best a big county seat, Jinling is a large city in the Ming Dynasty, the city is high and deep, where do they dare to fight, bluffing." ”
