In the eleventh year of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng led the camp to fight in Tongguan, and the superintendent Hong Chengchou personally led the officers and troops to set up an ambush, breaking into the camp, and Li Zicheng led his troops to escape into Henan; Zhang Xianzhong's troops fought in Hubei, Henan, Anhui and other places, and at first won and lost with the official army, but suddenly the news came out that Zuo Liangyu led the army to defeat Nanyang; Luo Rucai, Shooting Tatian and other rogues are all fighting on their own and fleeing everywhere.

The official army gradually shrank under Yang Sichang's strategy of "four positive and six corners", and the situation gradually improved with the cooperation of Hong Chengchou, Sun Chuanting, and Xiong Wencan.

In May, Liu Guoneng and Zhang Xianzhong, the eight kings, successively settled in Xiong Wencan, the governor of the six provinces, in Henan and Gucheng.

These three people were all the leaders of the Liukou who had a relatively high prestige at the time of the conference, and now even they have surrendered to the imperial court, and the court is immediately praised, and the literati have come to congratulate them, saying that "Zhongxing is hopeful".

Liu Guoneng was also one of the old battalions in the past, a serious Shaanxi man, who spurred himself with 'loyalty' at all times, and followed the court to suppress thieves, and accepted Xiong Wencan's reorganization very smoothly, and finally became a garrison subordinate to the thief general Zuo Liangyu.

Liu Guoneng was very brave in battle after accepting the reorganization, and Li Zicheng once sent people to him to know his feelings and move with reason, hoping to open a gap and break through here.

However, Liu Guoneng denied it to his six relatives, reprimanded Li Zi for becoming a thief, led his troops to strictly guard against it, and carried out all the orders of the imperial court without hesitation.

Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai are not as honest and honest as Liu Guineng, they are called Fufu, but in fact they refuse to be reorganized and dispatched, and they never pay attention to the constraints of the imperial court.

During the period of recuperation, he collected grass and grain, built weapons, recruited troops, trained soldiers, and waited for the opportunity to make a comeback.

When the time came to August, the transaction between Dengzhou Camp and Zuo Camp was completed, and Liu Zeqing, who had already returned to Shandong, immediately gave the court a twist and turn with fierce words.

This twist and turn is naturally related to Wang Zheng, saying that thousands of his subordinates were cut down for no reason, when the rebellion of Kong Youde was pacified, these people had gone into battle to make meritorious contributions, and now died at the hands of the villain, afraid that the rest of the soldiers would not be satisfied, the court should comply with the hearts of the soldiers, and severely punish Wang Zheng.

To put it bluntly, Liu Zeqing directly put forward his unwarranted merits to blackmail the imperial court, in fact, this method has also been used by Zuo Liangyu, and it has been tried and tested repeatedly for a general soldier like them.

The military department was quite entangled when it received this setback, and it took a while to start dealing with it.

They have heard about Wang Zheng, and now is the time when the emperor has a good impression of him, not to mention that there are people behind him to protect him, but Liu Zeqing is also the chief soldier of Shandong, holding a large army, and there are also people from Nanzhili behind him.

The officials in Kyori are all ghosts, and they don't offend people easily, and this kind of thing is really difficult to deal with.

So this piece was folded to the Ministry of War, and it was pressed for half a month, and then it was quietly handed over to the master of ceremonies and the imperial horse supervisor, and the stall was gone.

The chief eunuchs of the ceremonial supervisor saw that this was not the person who was protected by Wang Chengen and Cao Huachun, the two grand dukes, and sent people everywhere to inquire to find out that it was Shandong's internal generals who seized power.

There are many generals and generals in Shandong, and there are many overlapping powers, and there are many such things, but this is the first time that the Beijing division has been troubled.

Most likely Liu Zeqing didn't engage in the Wang dispute, and he came to find a scene in anger.

Knowing the cause and effect, the celebrant of the Beijing division naturally wanted to ask Wang Chengen what he meant, whether to reject it or hand it over to the governor of Shandong.

Both of these methods were beneficial to Wang Zheng, but Wang Chenen, the eunuch of the celebrant eunuch, rejected them all after reading them.

The fold went through the motions from his hand, without frowning, Wang Chengen directly handed over the imperial case of Emperor Chongzhen.

As soon as it came out, everyone was confused, wasn't it Liu Zeqing who was proudly handed over to the emperor, didn't he fight for the king?

Wang Chengen has followed Emperor Chongzhen for so many years, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a roundworm in his stomach.

Sure enough, Chongzhen was furious after seeing this recital.

After a heavy question, he asked Liu Zeqing what he was eating, why didn't he report the thousands of soldiers and horses killed and wounded earlier, as the chief soldier of Shandong, your subordinates said that they would be defeated, how did you govern the army?

The emperor has a lot of opportunities, and he doesn't need to deal with this little thing, this sentence alone has already made the meaning clear, and Wang Chengen, who was standing on the side, immediately nodded to the little eunuch.

The clever and clever little eunuch immediately instructed the emperor's intentions.

This time, the officials of the Ministry of War became more efficient, dismissed Liu Zeqing's performance, and reprimanded him heavily, saying that he was not allowed to do such a thing again.

Liu Zeqing didn't expect this result at all, although he was angry in his heart, but it seemed that the official document of the Ministry of War was very harsh, and he heard that the emperor was alarmed.

This head didn't care about sulking and looking for the king to seek revenge, so he hurriedly went everywhere to find someone to trust the relationship, and spent money to dredge the door, or his position was important.

Liu Zeqing lifted a stone and shot himself in the foot this time, not long after the official document of the Ministry of War came down, Liu Fu's letter also arrived, and he still reprimanded Liu Zeqing.

said that this thing seemed to have no brains, why didn't he ask Nan Zhili in advance about the meaning, compared to the innocuous nature of the official documents of the Ministry of War, Liu Zeqing broke out in a cold sweat this time, and hurriedly ran away to Nan Zhili, and went to Liu's mansion to personally accuse him.

Wang Zheng didn't react at all, what should he do, and watched Liu Zeqing play there.

One day in July, Wang Zheng was rarely idle, and was sitting in the study reading carefully, when suddenly a soldier ran in.

"General, there's an accident over there in Shuicheng!"

It turned out that there was a pirate ship from Penglai Water City, which was not a big deal, and Wang Zheng had been doing things one after another since he took office, and he hadn't had time to see the sixth battalion of the navy.

The current six battalions of the Dengzhou Navy are also in tatters, and they have long been famous, and the entire six battalions of the Dengzhou Navy Army, all the sailors add up to a thousand.

Sent people to check the situation of the ships in the water city of Chapenglai, and it was even more miserable, the towers of the water city were tall and upright, but there were only some small sailing ships moored under the water gates everywhere, and even the medium-sized sand boats were only three.

Early in the morning, a boat came from afar, this boat was strangely shaped, the soldiers of the water battalion had never seen it at all, and when they saw that there was no Ming order flag, they immediately wanted to fire a warning gun, but there was an accident when the cannon was fired.

The garrison artillery of Penglai Water City has been useless for decades, but this time it was suddenly exploded, and many soldiers of the water battalion were injured, and the soldiers of the water battalion were immediately in chaos.

At this time, the boat on the other side raised a flag that no one could understand, and fired a cannon at the water city, which could make the soldiers of the water camp break out in a cold sweat.

The sound of the cannon on the opposite ship was deafening, and the accurate shot directly hit the disrepaired city tower of Penglai Water City, and the city suddenly flew with rubble, and the soldiers of the water battalion were actually beaten by a pirate ship and abandoned their armor and fled from the city.
