Chapter 121: The Mad Dogs Fight Back

"Impeach me?"

Yang Qing said in amazement.

"They won't impeach me for sprinkling water outside the Chengtian Gate and causing death, will they?"

He then said with a look of disdain.

That imperial history in the night because of the continuous high fever in the end did not survive, and the other two hundred more than two hundred sick green worms still did not pass the danger period, it is obvious that his atrocity is a provocation to those imperial historians of the Imperial Procuratorate, this group of mad dogs do not bite him is already very face-saving, he actually stepped on the face of others and rubbed it on the ground, it is strange that these imperial historians do not fight back!

"I didn't mention this, they impeached you for being corrupt and perverting the law, especially when you raided your home!"

Lao Wang said with a smile.

This kind of performance can't reach Chongzhen.

Lao Wang is now equivalent to Wei Zhongxian, and all the court twists and turns pass his hand first, and he thinks that it is necessary for Chongzhen to see it in person before it will be transferred to Chongzhen, but compared to the apocalypse completely letting go of Wei Zhongxian, Chongzhen's own handling of the folds is higher.

In fact, it is impossible for the ancient emperor to personally review all the twists and turns as he played on TV.

They all have a secretarial body.

And the impeachment of Yang Qing to enrich his private pockets will definitely not turn to Chongzhen, the people who fill their private pockets Lao Wang and Han Zanzhou have a share, in fact, Yang Qing is also a part-time manager of Lao Wang, after all, as Chongzhen's most trusted minister, Lao Wang doesn't even have a residence outside the palace, and he can't put his millions of family wealth in his own room in the palace, these are all taken care of by Yang Qing for him, and the two of them can be regarded as sharing weal and woe, Lao Wang knows very well that Yang Qing will not hack his own money.

Impeachment of Yang Qingzhong fills his pockets?

Where did the old king himself be?

"Huang Shu!"

Yang Qing sneered.

This time, it was Huang Shu who took the lead in impeaching him.

"I also have a report on him here, a clan in the Chu Domain reported him and extorted money from him during his patrol of Huguang."

Lao Wang insidiously took out a notebook.

"Under the edict of prison, extorting money can be extorted to the head of the clan, Chu Fan suffered such a catastrophe, almost all of them were drowned in the Yangtze River by Zhang Xianzhong, and there are only a few survivors left, he actually extorts money from others, there is no humanity left!"

Yang Qing said indignantly.

It is said that Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong have basically solved the problem of the clan for Chongzhen, because at this time, most of those vassal kings were killed by them.

The king of Shu, the king of Chu, the king of Qing, the king of Han, and the king of Dai all wiped out, and the two kings of Qin and Jin are still under house arrest in Beijing, and most of the northern feudal lords such as Lu, Zhou, Fu, and Tang were also killed, and only a few escaped were left in the south of the Yangtze River. And the good points of the Jiangnan domains are also limited, even the King of Min, who moved to Wugang, Hunan, was killed by thieves at this time, and the Rongwang Mansion in Changde was also breached, so far King Rong and his mother have not been found! King Ji of Changsha had just been found in Guangdong.

In fact, the only remaining vassal kings that remained intact were King Yi of Jiangxi, King Huai, and King Jingjiang of Guangxi.

As for King Gui, the actual domain is Hengyang, and it has also been broken by Zhang Xianzhong.

Although King Jingjiang is the king of the county, he is a prince of the county, because this is the lineage of the only descendant of Zhu Yuanzhang's brothers, that is, the descendants of Zhu Wenzheng, the nephew who stubbornly defended Nanchang and withstood Chen Youliang to lay the foundation for Zhu Yuanzhang's hegemony.

This is Zhu Yuanzhang's only living relative.

Most of the others starved to death.

Although Zhu Wenzheng was under house arrest by Zhu Yuanzhang to death because of some things, his son was still named the king of Jingjiang.

To be precise, there are only three clans that are not broken.

The rest of the fiefs are a few kings in the south of the Yangtze River, such as Ji, Rong, Min, Gui, etc., and most of the others have become refugees even if they are alive......

Chongzhen actually doesn't care about this.

His sister-in-law is taking care of these people.

Zhang Yan can be regarded as the mother of the Ming Dynasty at this time, and naturally shoulders the responsibility of taking care of the clan.

As for the queen, Yuan Guifei is still a concubine, and at present, Chongzhen doesn't want to be named her queen.

As for those dead clans, no matter how stupid this Chongzhen is, he will not renew the title, even if there are still remnants of the feudal clans, he is not interested in continuing to be the king of the feudal domain, and the ministers of the court will not continue to carry these burdens no matter how stupid they are.

At this point, it is rare for the monarch and the minister to be single-minded.

Therefore, in the clan in the south of the Yangtze River, if there is more silver on the body, it is better to say, if there is less silver, such as the Tang King who was released by Chongzhen in Nanjing, life is quite difficult at this time, or Yang Qing asked Yuanyuan to find a way to mention it to Zhang Yan to be a little more comfortable.

That's all about Huang Shu.

A small role like him doesn't need Yang Qing to do it himself, go back and arrange a few brocade guards to catch and throw them into the wolf's den, he has to recruit or not, anyway, he has to admit to the crime of blackmailing the clan, saying that for this purely disgusting guy, it is best to let him taste the pear pestle, first taste the pear pestle and then go to the interrogation chair, the bottom is burning vigorously, if you can still hold it, you will go to the iron woman......

That thing wasn't murderous.

The nails inside the Iron Woman are designed to be completely avoided, and those who are locked inside will endure both physical and mental torture in the severe pain of the nails piercing the body and the claustrophobic confinement without any light.

It was famous in medieval Europe!

It is undoubtedly very consistent with his identity to entertain Huang Shu like this, but it is a pity that Sun Zhiqi is under the rule of Li Zicheng, otherwise it is undoubtedly a pleasant thing to get these two good minions of our Great Qing Dynasty to the wolf's den to taste those torture instruments one by one.

Of course, Yang Qing didn't enter the palace for this kind of thing.

He came to receive the decree and then escorted the envoy to Jiangbei to announce the decree to Gao Yigong.

The latter had already transported most of the Tianchang grain to Sizhou during this time, and Chongzhen actually owed Li Zicheng hundreds of thousands of stones, which also began to be transported north by sea again, and these grains were landed in Haizhou to relieve the hungry people in Shandong nearby, and Shen Tingyang was in charge of shipping. That is to say, plus Gao Yigong snatched it, Chongzhen actually delivered 1.5 million stone to Li Zicheng in this year, and these grains alleviated the famine in the north to the greatest extent, plus Li Zicheng's grain distribution and grain purchased directly from the south, at least the situation of large-scale starvation in various parts of the north is basically gone.

As for Gangnam, the burden has not increased.

Under normal circumstances, the provinces south of the Huai River basically have to transport twice as much grain to the north every year, and now it has even decreased a lot.

Although Sichuan's grain output was cut off, and Huguang was still recovering because of the war, the granary around Poyang Lake was not affected, and the granaries around Hongze Lake and Chaohu Lake were also not really affected, even if Jiangsu and Zhejiang could not provide too much grain because of mulberry planting, 1.5 million stone surplus grain was still nothing to the Chongzhen-controlled area.

In the future, as agricultural production resumes in Huguang, the food supply here will increase.

After all, this is not the North.

Of course, there are unlucky ones.

It is said that the old officials and nobles in Beijing have had to dig up the gardens of their mansions to grow vegetables to eat, after all, Li Zicheng is now engaged in a similar rationing system in Beijing, even if these officials receive food according to the number of heads every day.

It's not easy to eat a full meal if you have a large amount of food!

Still want to drink wine and eat meat?

Dream on!

Yang Qing soon went to Chongzhen to receive the holy decree, went out of the city together with the eunuch who passed the decree, boarded the ship and returned to the camp in Jiangbei, and set off for Tianchang again the next day, where he read the holy decree to Gao Yigong, who had already prepared to receive the decree. According to the previously designed script, Gao Jie was removed from his post for crossing the border for no reason, but it was the same whether he was withdrawn or not, because it was his nephew Li Benshen who took over the post of Xuyi's general soldier, Gao Jie just went to Nanjing to recuperate, and he was able to stick to Xuyi and not run away directly, which is already commendable, and Chongzhen is still quite satisfied with him. And Gao Yigong's department received another 50,000 yuan of military silver, which is a symbolic consolation, although they are actually invaders, but this also has to be meaningful, and then Gao Yigong and Yuan Zongdi and others thanked Tianen and wept in gratitude.

Yang Qinghe followed Huang Degong's headquarters to the north to supervise the withdrawal of the Shun army in Tianchang.

Just five days after the decree was read, all the Shun troops withdrew to Huaibei, and this great battle that made the whole Jiangnan storm officially came to an end.

The real end.

Because Li Zicheng's reply had arrived, he rejected the original proposal of Gao Yigong and others to gather all the troops to go south to seize Yangzhou.

And at the same time as Gao Yigong's reply, he had already sent Liu Fangliang to lead 30,000 Shun troops to reinforce the Hanzhong army, and the Guanzhong Shun army led by Li Guo had also gone south, and 100,000 Shun troops gathered in Hanzhong, preparing to break through the Jianmen Pass and seize Sichuan in one fell swoop.

In this way, Chongzhen faced another trouble.

If Li Zicheng captures Sichuan, then he will fall into the semi-encirclement of the Shun army.

Especially after Li Zicheng defeated Zhang Xianzhong, it was completely possible for people to continue to use the banner of Zhang Xianzhong to attack Ma Gan in the south and stick to Neijiang, and even continue to use this banner to take the whole of Sichuan and go down the river to take Huguang, this kind of thing can almost be said to be inevitable. Anyway, they and Zhang Xianzhong are old friends, accept Zhang Xianzhong's subordinates and let them continue to bear the name of Lao Zhang, Li Zicheng will send some troops to partner with them, continue to move forward and fight anywhere, and Li Zicheng will sit in the Dujiangyan irrigation area to provide them with food. They took southern Sichuan for Li Zicheng and went out of Sichuan to seize Huguang, when Li Zicheng wanted to have a showdown with Chongzhen, these guys were nothing more than publicly surrendering to him, and then Li Zicheng's army went straight down the river to Nanjing and completed the great cause of dominating the world.

So what about Chongzhen?

He definitely can't send troops to fight Li Zicheng, so he will stand up for Zhang Xianzhong, and Li Zicheng is still carrying his banner and playing the sign of begging for thieves for the country!
