The sergeant held the bloody head and handed it to Gao Jie, Huang Degong and others one by one. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

This series of actions only happened in a short cup of tea, which was really unexpected, and the people in the hall Huang and Gao were in a cold sweat, and they felt a trace of fear in their anger.

Plug Yinxi said solemnly: "Liu and Xu Zhuren fornicated with the Tartars, betrayed the country for glory, the evidence is conclusive, and they should die." Jingnan Marquis and the Holy Shang together to pacify the left rebellion, meritorious service, meritorious and innocent, Xingping Bo's sergeants have many illegal things such as treachery and plunder, a crime of poor restraint and discipline can not run, but the Holy Lord is lenient, for the sake of Xingpingbo's past merits, he will not be investigated, only the position of Earl Xingping will be cut, and he will be guilty of meritorious service! ”

After hearing this, Gao and Huang knew that the emperor did not mean to kill them all, so they breathed a sigh of relief.

Gao Jie "pounced" and knelt on the ground, and immediately kowtowed three times to the south, and said: "The last general will thank the emperor!" "He knows the military discipline in his camp, not better than Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo, the emperor said that they fornicated with the Tartars and plotted treason, if it was only one of them, or even two, he could believe a few points, but if he said that all three were like this, he would not believe it.

The imperial court "fought a war to draw the left", the spirit is high, there are ambitions, obviously want to borrow their heads from these towns to establish authority, reshape the discipline, if the emperor does not punish him, he will always be worried, now he has cut his Xingping earldom, but to peace of mind, no matter what happens in the future, at least for the time being, there is no danger to life.

The White Tiger Hall was solemn, and Du Yinxi swept it to the generals under the hall with a majestic gaze, and then said with a stern expression: "Since Jiangbei set up four towns, the generals have been arrogant, the soldiers have been lazy, and the things that harm the people have happened from time to time. It is contrary to the original intention of establishing a town.

The saint was very angry when he knew it, and sent the cabinet department into Jiangbei to rectify the army, and the cabinet was deeply favored by the emperor and entrusted with a heavy responsibility, vowing to sacrifice his life to serve the country. Either the world has received the favor of the country, or has been recognized by the present, you should work together to make up for your mistakes in order to repay Your Majesty.

In the future, the Cabinet Department will strictly enforce military discipline, reward meritorious service, and punish those who are guilty. If there is a person who neglects military orders and does not obey orders, there is a sword in the cabinet department, and he will not be lenient after the first cut! ”

Huang and Gao Zhu said respectfully: "We will abide by the laws of the country, be loyal to Your Majesty, obey the orders of the superintendent, and never dare to have the slightest dissent!" ”

Du Yinxi said in a loud voice: "Since the rank obeys the military order, from tomorrow, all the towns in Jiangbei will be reorganized, the old and weak will be eliminated, the battalions will be purged, and the defense area will be redrawn. ”

"Obey the Governor's orders!" The generals will fall to the ground.

The total number of actual soldiers under the command of the three towns is no less than 60,000, although there is no leader in the group at the moment, and there are not many elites, it is obviously not enough to rely on 10,000 imperial battalion soldiers to deal with the private army of the three towns.

Du Yinxi made a decision on the spot, detained Huang Degong, Gao Jie and other generals under house arrest in the superintendent's yamen, and then transferred his troops and horses with the respective warrants of the towns, with a total of 60,000 soldiers and auxiliary soldiers, together with 5,000 imperial battalion soldiers, the soldiers were divided into three routes, and went to Huai'an, Linhuai and other places to suppress the chaotic soldiers.

He also sent a letter to Zhu Dadian to take Yan Yingyuan's troops and 20,000 soldiers to Jiangbei to assist in suppression, and wrote to Zhu Youhua overnight, sending Beijing battalion soldiers and the imperial camp waterway army to support as appropriate.

After Zhu Youhua got the news, he decisively sent another 14,000 new troops from the imperial camp to Jiangbei to assist in counterinsurgency, and all the 20,000 new troops from the imperial camp that had just formed an army before next month were sent to Jiangbei.

There was only one Gongsheng camp left in Nanjing, about 4,000 elite foot soldiers, plus 10,000 sailors and 60,000 Beijing camp guards.

In less than ten days, the three-way crusade army has returned triumphantly, the three rebels suddenly lost their main general, the order was chaotic, like a headless fly, and the crusade army arrived at the top of Mount Tai with the momentum of Mount Tai, and the rebels had no time to elect a new leader who was enough to convince the public in the panic.

There were not a few defectors who defected to the battle, and they easily captured the cities of Huai'an, Linhuai and other places, and the remaining diehards were also easily defeated by the crusading army in the street battles, not only the soldiers and horses of the three towns were crushed, and the more than 4 million taels of gold and silver and more than 400,000 stone coarse and fine grain hoarded in the commander's private treasury were also cleaned up and recovered, and 50,000 or 60,000 private soldiers in the three places were reorganized on the spot.

Zhu Youhua was worried that Huang Degong, Gao Jie and others had a bad idea about this matter and were estranged from the imperial court, so they only wanted to protect themselves and refused to serve wholeheartedly.

Huang and Gao, who were under house arrest, felt that the imperial court did not trust them, and they were full of resentment, but they did not expect that His Majesty the Emperor would come to Yangzhou to meet them in person, and they were quite flattered.

After meeting Huang and Gao, Zhu Youhua told them one by one the details of the Three Towns' collaboration with the enemy after some literary processing, because the content was generally the truth and there were no loopholes in the logic.

Zhu Youhua burst into tears, and his words were very heartbroken for the treason of the three towns, and he told about his inner entanglements and embarrassments, which was quite tearful.

Huang and Gao's grievances have disappeared at this point, indicating that they understand the difficulties of the imperial court and will work hard to kill Tartar and serve the imperial court.

The emperor is the Ninety-Five Supreme, no matter what he did, there was no need to explain anything to them, the reason why he came here in person and explained from the bottom of his heart was precisely because he believed in them, Huang and Gao were not stupid, as long as the holy family was still there, they would no longer worry about their future and fate.

After the monarch's mustard was lifted, Huang and Gao and their commanders and lieutenants regained their freedom, and they cooperated with the reorganization of the three towns of the rebels, and by confiscating the private treasury of the feudal town, the treasury of Yangzhou was instantly filled, and a large amount of surplus money was exported to Nanjing to aid other provinces.

With 20,000 or 30,000 pro-troops in the imperial camp and tens of thousands of troops in the left department, as well as millions of taels of money and grain confiscated as backing, Du Yinxi has enough confidence to suppress the rebellious soldiers. Zhu Youhua personally sat in Jiangbei and supervised the reorganization of various towns.

Six or seven towns in Jiangbei are known as 160,000 troops, which are complex, including the general guard army of refugees, as well as the rout soldiers who fled from the northern provinces, and a large number of displaced people Ding Zhuang are full of them, most of which are made up, with poor military discipline and weak combat effectiveness.

In view of this situation, it is imperative to streamline the administration of the elite army and eliminate the old and weak soldiers, one is to improve the combat effectiveness of the army, and the other can reduce the financial burden of the imperial court, Zhu Youhua set a number of 70,000 actual soldiers for Gu Yinxi, of which the Huang and Gao departments each accounted for 25,000 troops. The rest of the towns totaled 20,000 soldiers.
