Chapter 196: Northwest Chaos (Part II)
There is a peasant proverb in China that "good does not lead to bad spirits", and there is also a funny scientific law called "Murphy's Law" in foreign countries, which means that when things have two possibilities, they will definitely go to the bad one, such as now.
Just when Qin Hao learned that Zhang Xianzhong had gone to Anhui and his face turned pale, the latest battle report also arrived.
"Your Majesty~"
This time, Cao Huachun didn't hide behind the door at all, he knelt down directly with a plop, his whole body trembled, he couldn't say a sharp word in his mouth, and he looked like he was about to faint at any time.
You know, this is not a little eunuch, this is Cao Huachun, the master of ceremonies, the first eunuch in the world with the name of the prime minister, what bad news has not been delivered for so many years, and he has also seen the world, what can scare him like this?
Qin Hao sighed, he knew that this incident still happened, knowing that Chongzhen was angry and had the problem of throwing things indiscriminately, he silently put away all the things on the imperial case, for fear that Chongzhen would not be able to control it and slaughter this Cao Huachun for a while, and by the way, he took out a glass of wine and gave Cao Huachun a drink to revitalize his soul.
After Cao Huachun drank the wine, he gave Qin Hao a grateful look, finally straightened his tongue, and reported intermittently: "Zhang... Zhang Xianzhong broke through... Make a breakthrough.. ”
Chongzhen was in a hurry, "Tell me where you have broken through!" ”
"Zhang Xianzhong broke through Zhongjing."
Exhaled, Chongzhen only felt that his mind was clouded for a while, and he couldn't help but shake.
"Master, are you alright?"
"I can't die!! Imperial Mausoleum... Imperial Mausoleum... ”
"The thief gives... Dig. ”
"Ah!!!h
Qin Hao was obviously overwhelmed, Chongzhen didn't hit Cao Huachun with something, because he had already fainted.
"Doctor! Tell the Imperial Doctor!! ”
In later generations, most people thought that the Ming Dynasty was a two-Beijing system, but in fact, the Ming Dynasty was nominally a three-Beijing system, with the north - Beijing Beiping, the south - Beijing Jinling, and a central Beijing Fengyang.
The place of Fengyang can be summed up in one word: poor.
Fengyang Flower Drum sang well, "Say Fengyang, Dao Fengyang, Fengyang is a good place, since there was an Emperor Zhu, there have been nine years of famine in ten years." ”
Yes, to say that this Fengyang is no different from other places, but it is Zhu Yuanzhang's hometown, and it is tens of millions of miles worse than the northern and southern capitals, except for a royal prison, there seems to be nothing special, but Zhu Yuanzhang's hometown, naturally there will be some different things, such as the imperial tomb.
It is not an imperial mausoleum, as we all know, Zhu Yuanzhang's own tomb is in Nanjing, and the emperor's tomb after Zhu Di is in Yanjing, and Fengyang is buried here. Zhu Yuanzhang's father!
Zhu Yuanzhang is the ancestor of Chongzhen, so Zhu Yuanzhang's father is naturally the ancestor of Chongzhen, Zhang Xianzhong dug Zhu Yuanzhang's father, which is tantamount to digging Chongzhen's ancestral grave!
After 5,000 years of human civilization, Chongzhen became the first emperor to have his ancestral grave dug up.
Qin Hao is also helpless, this matter is also Zhang Xianzhong, an anti-human ability, mother, you are short of money, you rob the rich, what is the use of this move except to anger the court? Who doesn't know that he Zhu Yuanzhang is from a place to beg for food, do you still expect his father's grave to dig out gold?
Only when you are full will you offend the court to death like this, you Zhang Xianzhong is neurotic!
When Chongzhen finally woke up, he saw that Chongzhen had completely lost his mind, looking like a madman, and roared in his mouth: "Pass the edict, Gongsun Zhan, let Gongsun Chan send troops to support Hong Chengchou to resist Huang Taiji, transfer Zuo Liangyu to Zhao Kuangyin's subordinates, and pursue Gao Yingxiang, as for Zhang Xianzhong, Zhang!" Offer! Disloyal!! Send Lu Xiangsheng out! Send out my Divine Machine Battalion! Lingshan-Dong, Lianghu, Liangguang, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and other places are all under its dispatch, and I see Zhang Xianzhong's head!! Head!! Let Lu Xiangsheng bring it to me!! ”
Well, it can be determined that Chongzhen is indeed a little crazy, and now that the dynasty is unstable, it is all up to Lu Xiangsheng and the soldiers and horses in Beijing to make the young people dare not be presumptuous, and it is really not a good time to transfer Lu Xiangsheng out of Beijing at this time.
But who dares to persuade? Looking at Chongzhen's eyes that choose people and devour, opening his mouth at this time is not an admonition, it is looking for death.
。。。。。
Zhu Yuanzhang's father was dug up to bask in the sun, and the impact of this incident far exceeded how many people the anti-thieves broke through several states and counties and killed, which was already a political event that shook the world, second only to the bloody Donglin Party a few days ago.
It is said that Hong Chengchou's suicide note has been written, just waiting for Chongzhen to order himself to be killed, and the people related to this are not trembling except for Zhao Kuangyin, who is not directly under Chongzhen's control, although they are all very wronged in this matter, if it weren't for Huang Taiji's sudden call, if it weren't for the sudden appearance of the Shatuo people to get involved with them, he wouldn't be able to run out of Zhang Xianzhong, but who has the patience to listen to you? The emperor's ancestral grave was dug up! Even ordinary people, this is also a great shame! Haven't you heard of the Lord dishonoring his ministers?
Of course, Chongzhen didn't deal with them, killing them who worked for themselves, who went to take Zhang Xianzhong's head for themselves, not to mention that this black cauldron was too big, so big that even Hong Chengchou couldn't afford to carry it, only Chongzhen could do it.
Hong Chengchou has gone crazy, Chongzhen's edict has come down, and he is relieved that there is no punishment, but at the same time, the four words of guilt and meritorious service have also been conveyed, the meaning is obvious, if this battle is fought, let's treat it as if nothing happened, if Huang Taiji can't stop it, let's settle the new account and the old account together.
Seriously, this is almost a death for him, there is such a big mistake, Chongzhen is to put him to death, I am afraid that there will not be a strange word in the government and the opposition and in the army, what choice can Hong Chengchou have except to sacrifice his life to repay the king's kindness?
But.... Huang Taiji's 200,000 troops are coming, do you think it's a joke? With this bit of manpower in Hong Chengchou's hands, if it weren't for Wu Sangui's five thousand Guan Ning Iron Cavalry to help him, oh no, it should be called the new white horse by now, and Huang Taiji would have been killed in and had a party, this is the gap in national strength and strength, and it is impossible to transfer it by human will.
"Where is Gongsun Chan? Why not. ”
"Governor of the capital, the army of Liaodong... I can't come for a while. ”
"Can't come? Your Majesty's holy decree, Huang Taiji Koubian, you told me that he couldn't come? What does Gongsun Chan want to do? Is he going to defect to the enemy or is he going to rebel? ”
"Gongsun Zhan him... He resisted, and the Liaodong infantry was now on the road at full strength, and they could arrive in about five days, and what kind of new white horse did he follow... ”
"What's wrong with Hakuba Yoshiko?"
"Gongsun Zan and Zhao Yun personally led 10,000 white horse righteous servants to get out of the customs, and before leaving, they also sent a message to His Majesty, saying that this time out of the customs, they must break through Shen Yang and bloody Hetuala, and let you hold on and drag Huang Taiji."
“。。。。 Your sister! I'll support him uncle!! ”
It is not only Gongsun Chan who does not let Chongzhen worry.
Zuo Liangyu was ashamed and angry and chased all the way for 700 miles, and he was about to chase Sichuan in one breath, seven battles and seven victories, but in the end, he was ambushed by Gao Yingxiang because of his carelessness of the enemy, and he fled in defeat. Didn't you say I'm going to cooperate with you?
And Lu Xiangsheng... It seems that he is the one who is in the most trouble.
