Chapter 66 Emperor Chongzhen goes down to the south of the Yangtze River
Three days after the Battle of Shanhaiguan, a second group of 30,000 troops led by Zheng Zhilong and Zhang Mingzhen arrived.
In addition, there is a volunteer teacher.
Shen Tingyang, Zhang Huangyan, Chen Zilong, Xia Yunyi......
Well, this is the little Donglin.
Or it can also be said that it is the Susong Zhedong Gentry Group, in which Shen Tingyang Chongming Maritime Businessmen, Chen Zilong, Xia Yunyi and the bosses of the Restoration Society are also the Restoration Society, Chen Zilong is also the boss of the Restoration Society at this time in a sense, and Zhang Huangyan is the local tyrant in eastern Zhejiang, in addition to them, there are more than a dozen Jiangdong talents, one by one looking at Chen Yuanyuan who fell into the hands of the eunuch minions and sighed......
"Ma, saying that I forced Wu Sangui to rebel, isn't this pure blood spewing people?"
Yang Qing said indignantly.
"Brother Yang doesn't have to mind, this is just the words of Mr. Plum Village's family, he just said that Chen Yuanyuan was picked up by Brother Yang, which made Wu Sangui mistakenly think that he was taken by Li Zicheng, so he borrowed troops to suppress Kou in anger, which led to the Battle of Shanhaiguan, but this is just his speculation, even others don't believe it."
Zheng Chenggong or Zheng Sen said with a smile.
This is what Wu Weiye said at the banquet where their literati gathered.
Zheng Sen is a supervisor of Nanjing Guozijian, and Wu Weiye is Si Ye is his teacher, although Jiangdong talents don't think much of him as the heir of the pirate family, but Zheng Zhilong is also the governor of Fujian Province, so he is still willing to take him to play with him. Although they didn't catch up with the big war in Shanhaiguan this time, they also showed their loyalty to Chongzhen after all, and naturally they wanted to discuss the future of the Ming Empire at the high meeting, although they didn't have much power, and even several didn't even have official positions, but this did not prevent them from taking the world as their own responsibility.
Then I drank too much and remembered Yuanyuan.
Such a famous prostitute of Qin Huai actually fell into the hands of a vulgar brocade guard, which simply made them indignant.
In other words, talented and beautiful women are the standard, what qualifications does Yang Qing have to take Yuanyuan as his own?
Then Wu Weiye's rich imagination of the poet outlined the context of Wu Sangui's rebellion......
Ah, it's for roundness!
How should the wife be a big deal, the hero is helpless and amorous!
But Zheng Sen turned around and sold him.
"Family's words? It's not that simple! ”
Yang Qing sneered.
The struggle has begun.
After this catastrophe, in Chongzhen's mind, the eunuchs and generals must have added points, but the ministers have lost a lot of points, especially the sudden rise of Yang Qing, the Jinyiwei, and the loyalty of Wang Chengen, the eunuch, can be said to have completely covered the brilliance of all the Wenchen of the Ming Dynasty, and the favor of these two people after Chongzhen went south is undoubted, and this means that the eunuchs and Jinyiwei, the forces that were finally suppressed by the Wenchen, have completely turned over.
This is clearly not going to work.
They must be repressed.
Wang Chengen is difficult to shake, after all, his loyalty is completely obvious, but Yang Qing is different.
However, the ministers are all scheming and will not do it at such a time, and this is not their territory, they must come step by step, first build momentum through these Jiangdong talents, and put the culprit of the Battle of Shanhaiguan on Yang Qing's head, and then render that he did not hesitate to cooperate with Li Zicheng to kill Wu Sangui, not out of loyalty to the Ming Dynasty, but because he gave Wu Sangui a green hat, so that all the credit for his bloody rescue of Chongzhen was wiped out......
He is trying to save the emperor, he is clearly a Ximen Qing who is eager to kill Wu Dalang!
"Fight, who is afraid of whom, fight with the sky and the earth and fight with people, the fun is endless!"
Yang Qing sneered.
This is an inevitable result, but the reaction speed of the ministers is a little fast.
Five days later, Tianjin.
"Minister, Tianjin Governor Yuan Yuzong knocks to see Your Majesty!"
Just like the last time Chongzhen came, Yuan Yuzong led his subordinate officials to bow respectfully at the canal wharf to welcome the Ming Emperor who came for the second time.
Of course, Chongzhen will not take the sea route.
The dignity of the emperor cannot wade into the danger of turmoil at sea.
I planned to take the sea route because I had no other choice, and I was afraid that it would not be safe to take the land route, but now I am still afraid of a bird, 35,000 Guan Ning troops escorted, plus Yang Qing's house slaves and Jinyi guards, as well as part of the Ming army under the command of Song Quan and Han Zanzhou, a total of 50,000 troops plus 300,000 accompanying immigrants followed, so of course a full set of emperor's honor guards should be put on according to the regular patrol standards along the canal to the south of the Yangtze River......
The first stop is Tianjin.
"Minister, Tianjin Governor Yuan Yuzong knocks to see Your Majesty!"
Yuan Yuzong shouted again.
Then he raised his head blankly and looked at Chongzhen who was standing in front of him with an expressionless face, and suddenly he felt a creepy as a hideous face appeared in front of him again.
"Brother Yuan, meet again!"
Yang Qing said with a cruel smile.
"Commander Yang, don't come unharmed!"
Yuan Yuzong said with a stiff smile.
As he spoke, he quietly made a gesture behind his back, and behind him, nearly 10,000 soldiers lined up, a flag slowly waved in front of these soldiers, and a group of cavalry appeared in the woods in the distance......
"Command the same knowledge."
Yang Qing watched this scene be corrected.
He was promoted, from commanding to commanding, which is also a reward for him for making a lot of contributions, but there is nothing else, that is, from commanding to commanding, it is obvious that Chongzhen is afraid that he will not have to add it in the future, after all, he is still young, how can he add it in his early twenties? Besides, the command of Jinyiwei made the later period a bit empty, on the contrary, it is the same knowledge that the affairs are the real power, and Chongzhen is ready to re-establish the Beizhen Fusi after arriving in Nanjing and hand it over to him to take charge. Wang Cheng'en was in charge of the eunuch, Han Zanzhou was the commander of Dongchang, and the Nanzhen Fusi was appointed from the Jinyi Wei nobles in Nanjing, anyway, the real notorious Jinyi Guard system was the Beizhen Fusi, so that Yang Qing's ferocity could be fully utilized to carry out his intentions.
Today this is to try him live.
Yuan Yuzong didn't know that he was the one that Chongzhen used to test Yang Qing, and he said with a smile while issuing a code warning to his subordinates: "Congratulations to Governor Yang Tong for his prosperous luck." ”
"Thanks!"
Yang Qing said with satisfaction.
"Yuan Yuzong killed the monarch and plotted rebellion, and sent an edict to prison!"
He went on to say.
Behind him, four brocade guards stepped forward at the same time.
However, Yuan Yuzong stood up with a sneer, looking at Yang Qing with a blank expression, and the generals behind him also stood up, and the 10,000 subordinates who lined up behind him also got up, and nearly a thousand cavalry poured out of the woods in the distance.
"Yang Tongzhi, what did you say?"
Yuan Yuzong dusted off the soil on his knees and said lightly.
The next moment, Yang Qing's fist landed on his face.
Yuan Yuzong screamed miserably, spit out a mouth full of teeth and fell......
"Ma, you still dare to pretend to be forced in front of me!"
Yang Qing said disdainfully.
The four brocade guards quickly held down Yuan Yuzong.
At this time, those generals reacted, one by one angrily drew their swords, behind them 10,000 soldiers clamored in unison, Yang Qing took two steps forward like lightning, grabbed the necks of the two generals with both hands, and lifted them into the air at the same time, the soldiers behind instantly shut up, and looked at the helpless and struggling figures of the two generals in amazement, and the next moment Yang Qing slammed his hands hard, and the heads of the two generals were immediately tilted to the side, and blood came out of their mouths.
He threw two dead bodies to the ground.
"Dare to draw a sword in front of His Majesty, do you want to kill the king?"
He shouted viciously.
Several other generals looked at each other, then looked at the dead body on the ground that was convulsing, threw the knife on the ground without the slightest hesitation, and knelt down again as quickly as possible, and the soldiers behind continued to look at each other, not that they were loyal to Yuan Yuzong, but they didn't react for a while.
"Didn't you hear it, get on your knees!"
Yang Qing shouted.
He then grabbed a dead body on the ground and threw it into the crowd.
The soldiers fell to their knees.
"Your Majesty, the rebel Yuan Yuzong is back in the case!"
Yang Qing turned around and saluted Chongzhen and said.
Chongzhen nodded with satisfaction, Song Quan and Zhang Shenyan in the back glanced at each other with a somewhat solemn expression, as for the Jiangdong talents including Wu Weiye in the back, they were indignant one by one, whether Yuan Yuzong was guilty or not, put it aside first, but this kind of arrogant behavior is completely insulting, and the bad people are also Jinshi and first. And it doesn't matter if Gao Yigong, who accompanied the escort or supervised them to the south, Chongzhen didn't do it, they had to do it, Li Zicheng couldn't allow a guy like Yuan Yuzong to control Tianjin, and he who solved the foreign enemy of Dolgon, the next main target was these dissidents in the north, and among these dissidents, Yuan Yuzong basically ranked first.
"Brother Yugong save me!"
Yuan Yuzong, who came to his senses, immediately changed his expression and shouted at Song Quan while spitting blood and teeth in his mouth after seeing that his careful arrangement was disintegrated in an instant.
Song Quan pretended not to hear.
Although he really wanted to pull Yuan Yuzong, but this guy's land can't be washed, although it is in the interests of these northerners to keep Chongzhen in the north, but he can't do it so absolutely, he would rather kill Chongzhen in the north than let him go south, and he directly sent troops to chase and kill, Song Quan thinks that he is still a loyal minister, he is loyal to Chongzhen, and he can't make a mistake of principle in this kind of thing.
"Your Majesty, should the sin of original rebellion be verified......
Wu Weiye said cautiously.
Chongzhen turned his head towards him with a murderous aura, His Majesty the Emperor's face was even a little hideous, Wu Weiye was so frightened that he quickly shut up, he obviously didn't know how angry Chongzhen was when he was hunted down.
"Yes, where is the evidence that I murdered the monarch and plotted rebellion?"
Yuan Yuzong immediately grabbed the life-saving straw and shouted.
"Evidence? Ah, yes, our Jinyiwei case is the most evidence-oriented, if you want evidence, we will definitely give you evidence, take this traitor down first and serve it well, let's go to his house to find the evidence he wants, take everything in his house away, let's check it slowly on the way, Gao Dudu, this is the Qin case, you Beijing Left-behind Division can not interfere! ”
Yang Qing said to Gao Yigong.
He is looking for evidence, it is clear that he is going to raid his house and loot silver, which is to tell Gao Yigong not to rob him of business.
Gao Yigong smiled and made a gesture of please.
