This time Huang Daozhou did anger Chongzhen, but Huang Daozhou is an upright official, and he is still quite famous in the court, and Chongzhen is not good at dragging him out and cutting him because of a word, and in the end, Yang Sichang gave Chongzhen a bad idea, and directly pushed Huang Daozhou to the end, transferred to Jiangxi according to the judge, and made a small official of the ninth grade!

Yang Sichang is warning those ministers who are trying to "slander" him, let them weigh it carefully, if they dare to point fingers at his proposed strategy of shutting down the outside world, then be ready to be swept to the end, no matter if you are three, four, or five, all of them will give you nine grades!

This guy, this trick is indeed ruthless enough, many ministers are not afraid of death, nor are they afraid of imprisonment, and they are not afraid of the court staff, because there is no shame in saying this, it is a shame to be a small official of the ninth grade, not to mention the official voice, but also to obey the orders of those seventh, eighth-grade officials, this humiliation is not something that ordinary people can bear, so, after Huang Daozhou was cleaned up, no one dared to jump out and accuse Yang Sichang, this guy is too ruthless, he can't afford to provoke it, he can't afford to provoke it.

The courtiers all shut down, and Chongzhen was finally able to calm down and discuss the next "big plan" with Yang Sichang, specifically where the more than 200,000 troops outside the capital should go.

If Yang Sichang's idea is followed, it is to go to Dabie Mountain, clean up the five battalions of the left side of the revolution, and completely complete the great cause of suppressing thieves.

He still insisted that the outside must be settled first, and the thieves must be wiped out before dealing with Jiannu.

Chongzhen's view is different, it is right to be inside first, however, there is no need to pursue perfection so much, the anti-thieves have almost been wiped out, but Jiannu is rampant, the fifth battalion of the left is not much of a threat, but the slave is a sharp blade hanging over the head of the Ming Dynasty, if he does not defeat the slave, he always feels that it is difficult to sleep, so he wants to recover Liaodong first and then clean up the fifth battalion of the left.

Yang Sichang is as cheap as ever, he said that he can't be refuted by others, but he doesn't refute what Chongzhen says, since the emperor wants to clean up Jiannu first, then clean up Jiannu first, he immediately changed his position and discussed with Chongzhen about the plan to clean up Jiannu.

It's only March at this time, and the ice and snow in Liaodong will only begin to melt in April, and it won't be suitable for the army until May, so Chongzhen and Yang Sichang are not in a hurry, anyway, there is still more than a month to go, and it is better to be fully prepared before setting off.

The more than 200,000 troops are really transferred to Liaodong, then the Ming army in Liaodong will reach a terrifying more than 400,000, if it is Zhang Bin command, it will definitely be able to recover Liaodong, and Huang Taiji will not be able to find the north, the problem Chongzhen did not consider Zhang Bin at all, he still wants Yang Sichang, a capable minister, to supervise Ji Liao, and regain Liaodong in one fell swoop!

If Yang Sichang really went to Liaodong, with his lame scheme and the idea of trapping Zhang Bin's cronies, Sun Chuanting, Lu Xiangsheng, Cao Wenzhao and Qi Yuangong were all killed, then the Ming Dynasty is likely to repeat the tragedy of the Salhu fiasco, and he was beaten by Huang Taiji and couldn't find the north, but fortunately, Yang Sichang's dream of supervising Ji Liao did not come true, because the thief really came back as Huang Daozhou said.

Historically, Li Zicheng was suppressed by Yang Sichang, and only 17 horsemen fled into the Qinling Mountains near Shangluo in panic, and it took nearly a year to gather thousands of men to rush out of the mountains.

However, this time it was different, because he was forced by Xiong Wencan to flee into the Qinling Mountains after robbing King Fu's wealth first, he had the capital to make a comeback, and he did not flee in a panic, but absconded calmly, and all the backbone of the rebel army was taken away by him.

Therefore, as soon as Xiong Wencan's army left Guanzhong and rushed to Huguang, he began to send people to secretly contact the old department.

In other words, didn't his more than 100,000 troops be annihilated by Xiong Wencan, and where did the old department come from?

This has to be said about the court's measures to deal with the anti-thieves, the anti-thief leader is caught, it is naturally a thousand cuts, even if the small leader of the anti-thieves is caught, it is also the crime of killing the head.

However, ordinary thieves can't be killed, because there are too many of them, and most of them are farmers, you kill them all, who is going to farm, and the court has no food to support them, so if ordinary thieves are caught, the court will generally send them back to their hometowns as quickly as possible.

If Zhang Bin is in command this time, he can also move all the anti-thief captives to Dongfan, guarded by Dongfan Jiuwei, they can't run away if they want to, the problem is that Xiong Wencan is in charge this time, and he is also in a hurry to go to Huguang to clean up Zhang Xianzhong, he has no time to deal with it at all, so he can only hand over all the prisoners to Zheng Chongjian, the governor of Shaanxi.

Zheng Chongjian was just a governor, where did he get the food to feed more than 100,000 prisoners, so after he took over the prisoners, he sent all these prisoners back, and there was not even a person to escort them, just let them report their names and places of origin, and then let them walk back by themselves.

Zheng Chongjian's side was a "repatriation" of 10,000 a day and 10,000 a day, and all the prisoners were disposed of in more than ten days.

Li Zicheng's side received thousands of days a day, and in less than a month, all the old departments were contacted, and many people were found by the original management team and the old management team halfway through, and they followed people directly into the mountain.

This is a bit strange, Li Zicheng and other leaders of the peasant army can be very strict with their subordinates, when facing officers and soldiers, if they dare not obey the order, the supervising team will go up and cut down, there is no emotion to talk about, why do these people still follow Li Zicheng to rebel?

They can't help it, if it weren't for the poor jingle, eating the last meal and not the next meal, and even eating grass roots and gnawing bark hungry, who would rebel, follow King Chuang to have food to eat, and after going back, they still have to face the choice of starvation or rebellion, it is better to "leave home" halfway.

In short, this time, Li Zicheng's recovery speed is quite amazing.

As soon as Xiong Wencan led the army to the capital, he ran to the northern foot of Lishan near Lintong to take out the buried treasures, and began to gather the old troops and recruit troops;

Yang Sichang was still eating ashes behind Huang Taiji's buttocks, so he gathered more than 100,000 horses and began to reorganize and practice;

Chongzhen is still discussing with Yang Sichang how to clean up Jiannu, he has already led the army to rush out of Lishan and take Lintong!

At this time, there were only 10,000 garrisons in the whole of Shaanxi, and the defense of Xi'an was a little stretched, where did the troops come from to defend other cities, so he did not encounter much resistance at all when he captured Lintong County, and Lintong Zhixian temporarily organized hundreds of villagers, and after a little meaning, Lintong was quickly occupied by him.

Immediately afterwards, he waved his army to the east, all the way to capture Weinan, Huazhou, Huayin, Tongguan and other places, in less than ten days, most of the entire Xi'an Prefecture fell into his hands, and he also occupied Tongguan, an important town in the northwest, to capture Henan, Shanxi, and to retreat to besiege Xi'an, the capital of Shaanxi, and the situation in the entire northwest was suddenly precarious.

When the news came back to the capital, the entire court was in an uproar, what was going on, didn't Yang Gebu say that he was in all corners and six corners, and the plan to open the net on all sides was fruitful, and the anti-thieves had almost been wiped out, why did the anti-thieves rise again, and they came back so quickly, and the momentum was still so big!

Chongzhen was even more shocked and panicked when he received Zheng Chongjian's 800-mile urgent report, he did not convene a group of ministers to discuss the court, but instead invited Yang Sichang, a favorite minister, to discuss secretly.

Yang Sichang's soul was also frightened by Li Zicheng's hand, and Huang Daozhou's words were still echoing in his ears.

"Do you think you're going to wipe out the thieves?"

"You don't hesitate to expropriate and extort money for your clumsy plan of spreading the net on all sides, and increase the levy and extortion of salaries and salaries, how many people can't survive because of this, you see if the people will rebel later."

"Now that the imperial army is in the capital, in Shuntianfu, not in the five northwestern provinces, why don't the thieves dare to rebel again?"

The anti-thief really reversed again, and he was incited with a resounding slap in the face.

This Jiannu and the anti-thief slapped him left and right, inciting him to be hot on the face.

Facts have proved that it is a joke that the outside must be safe first, and the Jiannu will not be trustworthy at all, and they will talk to them for peace, purely to send them to others to play.

Enough food and then foot soldiers are a big joke, people rebelled because they had no food to eat, and you also robbed their food to recruit soldiers, didn't you force people to rebel!

However, Yang Sichang and Chongzhen have the same temperament, he will not think that he has done wrong, all this is someone else's fault, anyway, he is right, it is impossible to make mistakes.

So, whose fault is it this time?

Xiong Wencan, he was responsible for encircling and suppressing the anti-thieves, but Li Zicheng ran away, it wasn't his fault, whose fault was it!

When Yang Sichang received the news of Li Zicheng's resurrection, not only did he not reflect on how stupid his strategy was, but kept thinking about who was wrong in his mind, which made his "big plan" go wrong, and soon, he thought of Xiong Wencan.

Chongzhen also realized at this time that there must be something wrong, otherwise, Li Zicheng would not have recovered so quickly, but he never thought that Yang Sichang was wrong, he even stupidly looked for this culprit to "ask", what went wrong!

After the monarch and the minister saluted, he was furious and angry: "Wen is weak, what is going on, hasn't the anti-thief Li Zicheng been exterminated, why did he come back so quickly, and the momentum is so big, it's like he has never been surrounded and suppressed." “

Yang Sichang knew that Chongzhen was not angry with him, but at the culprit, he didn't think he was the culprit, so he said with a heartfelt voice: "Your Majesty, it seems that now it seems that it is Xiong Wencan, the villain, who is lying about the military situation, he obviously did not exterminate the anti-thief Li Zicheng, but he lied that he had been exterminated, so as to invite credit, it is really hateful, we trusted him so much at the beginning, and handed over the plan to suppress thieves in the five northwestern provinces to him, but I didn't expect him to be such a traitorous villain!" “

Poor Xiong Wencan, he is the only honest minister under Yang Sichang, for Yang Sichang's plan, he tried his best to fight thousands of miles, but he never thought that in the end, he would be detained by Yang Sichang such a big!

When Chongzhen heard this, he couldn't help but suddenly realize, yes, Xiong Wencan is in charge of the five northwest provinces' plans to suppress thieves, and now the anti-thief Li Zicheng is resurrected, it is not his fault whose fault it is.

He couldn't help but shout angrily: "Someone." ”

Cao Huachun entered in response, and Chongzhen immediately gritted his teeth and said: "Put Xiong Wencan, a traitorous villain, into the edict and prison, and ask him how he lied about the military situation." ”

This guy, a loyal and good general, was inexplicably cleaned up, and he didn't even have a chance to defend himself!

After dealing with Xiong Wencan, the "culprit", Chongzhen's anger seemed to have calmed down a lot, at this time, he began to worry about the situation in the northwest again, and he couldn't help but say anxiously: "Wen is weak, Li Zicheng has now hit Tongguan, how can this be good." ”

Yang Sichang doesn't think it's a big deal, isn't it just Li Zicheng, and he can easily clean it up!

He calmly arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the little Li Zicheng can't turn the sky upside down, and the more than 200,000 troops stationed near the capital are enough for him to be wiped out." ”

That's right, there are more than 200,000 troops stationed near the capital, he is also dizzy, and he actually ignored this, Chongzhen heard this, and his anxiety was slightly alleviated, but he was still a little worried: "Thousands of troops are easy to get, and it is difficult to find, Xiong Wencan, a traitorous villain, has been sent to prison, who led this more than 200,000 army to exterminate the thief Li Zicheng?" ”

Yang Sichang thought about it, he really didn't have any suitable candidates under his hands, let Xue Guoguan go, don't be kidding, this product is not as good as Xiong Wencan, it is better to send Xiong Wencan to send this goods.

He thought about it, but he really couldn't think of a suitable candidate, so he could only stubbornly say: "Your Majesty, Weichen is willing to personally lead the army to exterminate this anti-thief Li Zicheng!" ”

When Chongzhen heard this, he couldn't help but nod with relief: "Well, Wen is weak, then I will work hard for you, and I will rest assured that you will be out of the horse." ”

These two people are really speechless.

Xiong Wencan, a feudal official, was arrested without any charges or evidence.

Such a militaristic event as encircling and suppressing anti-thieves was decided privately without asking other people's opinions!

Are you just going to let them do whatever they want?

Of course it can't be, this time, Zhang Bin finally made a move, because he was angered by Yang Sichang, this guy is really like in history, he wants to trap Lu Xiangsheng to death, and he also has Qi Yuangong.

They can do nonsense, but they can't pit their cronies, according to historical records, Yang Sichang is afraid that he won't be able to come back, he thinks he is a genius, but in fact he is a fool, he will be played to death by Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong!

Zhang Bin didn't want Lu Xiangsheng and Qi Yuangong to bury this idiot, he thought about it, and ordered someone to send a message to Xu Guangqi, now, he can't speak, he opens, Chongzhen will definitely be more suspicious of him, and even, all his "henchmen" can't speak, which will also cause Chongzhen's suspicion, he can only ask Xu Guangqi to come out.

The next morning, Chongzhen still pretended to announce that the court would discuss the matter of the northwest anti-thief, and Yang Sichang went to the northwest to suppress the thief, which no one had an opinion on, but he wanted to take everyone away but couldn't.

Just as Chongzhen was about to make a decision, ordering Yang Sichang to set off immediately and lead the army to the northwest to suppress the thieves, Xu Guangqi, the first assistant of the cabinet, suddenly coughed, walked out of the train, knelt in the middle of the royal road, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Weichen is brave, please leave some men and horses to garrison in Gyeonggi and Xuanda, if Jiannu takes advantage of the emptiness of Gyeonggi troops to enter the Kou, the people will suffer again!" ”
