Here in the East Palace, the crown prince Zhu Cili frowned, he originally wanted to take the opportunity to get close to his father, but he was punished, it was he who was greedy for fun, and now he didn't dare to leave the study. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Congratulations to the Prince."
"Why did Taifu say this? I've been grounded by my father......" Zhu Ciyu showed dissatisfaction.
Taifu smiled: "The prince doesn't know, now Your Majesty is testing you, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is about to become an adult, and Your Majesty is also entrusting you with important tasks, but don't let Your Majesty down." ”
Zhu Cili's eyes widened, he didn't expect it to be like this, and there was a smile on his face, but he soon became sad, because he was really worried.
Outsiders are very greedy for this dragon chair, but since he was a child, he knew that his father was worried about state affairs, and he was only strict with him.
Emperor Chongzhen is also feeling tired now, and now Zhu Yujiao has fallen into the hands of thieves again, so he pinned his hopes on the prince.
"I worked hard, and even forgot to sleep and eat, but as a result, this gang is constantly troubled, and there are strong enemies outside, I will never allow the foundation of the Ming Dynasty to be ruined on my children and grandchildren." At this time, Emperor Chongzhen was still very conceited, and he firmly believed that the Ming Dynasty could sweep away bandits, eliminate strong enemies, and ensure the peace of the country and the people.
Emperor Chongzhen is having a headache with silver, and now the expenses of the harem have been cut by him again, this palace has not been built since he moved in, but the silver is lacking every year, "It's all this damn bandit!" ”
This time the army crusade made the military expenditure a bottomless pit, Chongzhen dropped the imperial pen, leaving a heavy vermilion on the fold, and it was for silver, in the army, and the place should also be ......
Daizhou City is now rumored here, the imperial court has come to crusade, the people are worried, have no intention of working, the war is the most cruel, I don't know how to deal with it.
Here in the mansion, it is even more gloomy and scary, all the generals who come in and out are the generals of the people's army, and everyone has no smile.
"Father of the child, why don't we hide in the countryside first, this imperial army is coming, if you anger us, it will be bad." The women were now in a state of panic, the workshop was closed, but fortunately the food was not broken.
"What's the use of hiding in the countryside, in the woman's opinion, this imperial army is coming, and it won't move us, but Wu Dalang and the merchants will suffer." The man in charge of the house scolded.
"Alas, this official army is coming, will they take the workshop again, now, everyone doesn't dare to do things, for fear of being beaten into the craftsman by the imperial court."
The previous ones were vivid, and the people had grievances in their hearts, and as soon as the state city of this generation stopped, the imperial court came to the army.
"Maybe the prosperity of this generation of state cities will be ruined in this war."
This is not alarmist.
Daizhou City can be so prosperous now, and Wu Dalang and merchants are inseparable, if the government comes back, wouldn't it be back to the old ways.
"This court can't see us living a good life, a messenger has already made this place a miasma, and now there is a large army...... "Someone couldn't help but say it, and people with discerning eyes have already seen it.
But who dares to say this, knowing the face but not the heart, in case anyone remembers it, and waits for it to be reported to the government, then a catastrophe will come.
"You are afraid, I am not afraid, the people's army is powerful, and it is useless for the officials and soldiers to come, my son is in this people's brave army, and if he wins this time, he can become an official people's army."
Although there are many people's army, there are still not many people's backgrounds, and now there are only a group of formal people's troops in Daizhou City, and the number is not much, or those who were originally recruited, and the rest are just people's bravery.
But the military ticket is a good thing, it is very covetous, this is a rare thing that can be bought in Sheung Shui Fang, it represents the identity, and it is enviable.
"It's all at this time, the court may be angry, and when the time comes, it will definitely lose its head, so you just wait to lose your head." The woman couldn't help but exclude and said.
"Huh? Probably not, right? This ostentatious woman suddenly panicked, this time it was extraordinary, this was an army of three sides, hundreds of thousands of people......
On this day, the weather suddenly warmed, a winter had finally passed, and everything was about to recover, but before the people of this small village could be happy, they were shocked first.
"Officers and Soldiers ......"
"So much?"
"Are you here to suppress bandits? I heard that there are Tartar bandits here......"
"It must be, the last time someone went up the mountain and saw the Tartar camp, they were so scared that they almost couldn't come back."
The villagers are all speculating that their news here is blocked, and there is no one moving around in the cold winter, and now they can only watch the official army enter.
"Take all the food away, this group of people are rebellious people, don't be sorry." The knight said a word, and the wolf-like soldiers rushed into the homes of these men, rummaging through the boxes and cabinets in search of food.
Those who dared to intervene were beaten at least and stabbed at worst, and for a time this small village was crying.
After entering Jin Province, Guan Ning Tieqi was not polite, because this operation was too hasty, they were not fully prepared, and there was not enough food.
"This is the punishment for you, you are the people of the court, but you are thieves to protect yourself, and if you don't kill you, it will be the court's grace." The officers and soldiers scolded loudly and left with the food.
"This is the official army?"
"Even the Tartar bandits did not come here, but as soon as the officers and soldiers came, we were wiped out...... Open your eyes, O God! The villagers knelt on the ground and prayed.
Without food, everyone doesn't know how to live, and some people are ready to flee the famine, but the rich Jin Province does not dare to go, and it is even more miserable.
"Uncle, this ...... It's not good......" Zhao Ziyu was a little unacceptable.
"There's no way, otherwise the army will starve, and when Wu Dalang is cleaned up, everything will be over." Zhou Yuji is not a ruthless person, but now the grain and grass have not arrived.
On this day, many villages were looted by the official army in full swing, and there were countless refugees, and everyone dared not speak out.
"Wu Dalang, I can't imagine it, I'm Zhou Yuji back again, this time I will double the humiliation you gave me." Zhou Yuji couldn't forget the pain that Wu Dalang gave him, the Beijing camp was broken up, his brother-in-law was killed, and he was swept out of the house, all of which made his eyes red.
"Keep an eye on these refugees, and whoever dares to flee will be killed, lest they tell the rebels." Zhou Yuji issued another military order to confine down these refugees.
"Yes, this is a rebellious territory, we should be more careful, and see how I step on the rebellion." Wu Sangui said in high spirits.
"Report, General, rebel cavalry has been found ahead!" Rapid returns from the probe.
"Ah, I haven't killed it yet, this rebellious impatient came to the door, come, destroy them all for me, let the rebels see the majesty of my Guanning Iron Horse." Wu Sangui sneered and immediately ordered to fight.
The people who were imprisoned were also dumbfounded at the moment, because now they didn't know what the situation was, anyway, a big war was about to break out.
"Beat the damn, it's better to beat this official army to the ground, and let you rob my family's food." Some villagers have already scolded it.
"Didn't you hear it? This is an ordinary officer and army, this is the majestic Guanning Iron Cavalry, and even the Tartars don't dare to fight head-on...... "Someone knows the details of this officer and soldier, and he is unwilling to say it.
But this is the elite soldier who was praised by them, and as a result, he ransacked his own home, which made everyone unacceptable, and now his heart is extremely miserable.
"This group of damn guys, no wonder the official road is nowhere to be seen, and they actually do such shameless things, and I will clean them up fiercely." Wang Tiejun's face was pale.
In order to relieve the pressure, this time he and the head of the martial arts thought of going together, that is, to take the initiative to attack, this Guan Ning Tieqi was their target, but Wang Tiejun did not meet him on the official road, and he opened his eyes, only to know that this group of guys actually ransacked the people.
"General Wu, in front of you is Wu Dalang's elite cavalry, each extraordinary, on par with the Tartars, the general should be careful." Zhou Yuji's eyes were a little hateful, and he told the details.
"Hmph, it's not easy for the little people to have such cavalry, but compared to my Guanning Iron Cavalry, they are just a group of ants, Brother Zhou is too worried." Wu Sangui is arrogant and good at disguise, but he doesn't have to pretend to be anything for this group of people.
"Fight with me, rebel ahead, big rebellion, no one left." Wu Sangui pointed at the silver spear, and Guan Ning's iron cavalry came out.
The narrow road met, and the cavalry battalion and the Guanning iron cavalry met on this unknown hillside.
They are all the pride of the times, and they are all arrogant, and at this moment, only you live and die.
"I've been thinking I'll see you for a while."
