Chapter 376: The Entanglement of Decency and Villain
(Recommended reading: For Wen Tiren so justifiably a few reasons, but Chongzhen for the sake of the great cause of five years of resumption of Liao, or returned to Wen Tiren's vote, since the household has no money, then it is still my internal money to send it, because at this time, the royal post delivery firm dividends, a full 1.5 million taels of silver into the account, but Wang Shilang and Zhao Liang resolutely withheld 1 million and gave Wang Chengen 500,000 taels, which made Wang Chengen complain very much, but the reasons for Wang Fang and Wang Shilang are also high-sounding, Everyone continues to raise share capital in the next step, at that time if you want to hold, you must have cash, or what's wrong with the emperor, everyone is equal in business, or everyone will see that you are always a white wolf with empty gloves, and you will respond to the sentence in business: everyone will break up in two, and everything will be finished in the end. So Wang Chengen had to pinch his nose and take 500,000 yuan back.
But this 500,000 yuan is definitely a huge amount of money for Chongzhen at this time, so he squeezed 300,000 taels of silver for Yuan Chonghuan to transport, and Yuan Chonghuan bravely excused himself to the lack of military salary, and once again ordered to sell Ningyuan's military grain to the Houjin army. to rush the military salary, and did not report to the imperial court.
At the beginning of July, rumors spread across the border that the Karaqin Mongols were stockpiling military rations to the south. And the information of the king is accurate to the ins and outs of the grain, how many numbers, how many sunrises, who is escorted, it can be said that the evidence is conclusive, at this time, Chen Renxi, the editor of the Hanlin Academy, happened to inspect the border pass, he hurriedly played the imperial court, 10,000 men of the Karaqin Mongolian tribe, of which 8,000 transported the Ming army's military food outside the Ningyuan Pass, and there were more than 400 men in the Eight Banners of Jindi.
In this regard, Chongzhen, who received Wang Fang's intelligence and Chen Renxi's twist, was shocked when he heard the news, and he immediately issued an order to severely reprimand Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Jiliao, "It is reported that Xiyi City is buying goods. Obviously he is responding to Dongyi, and he is borrowing money and thieves, how can he listen to it? Chongzhen ordered Yuan Chonghuan to immediately stop selling military rations to the Houjin army and give an explanation for the behavior of other places.
Yuan Chonghuan did not hesitate to resist the order, and he tried to starve Mao Wenlong to death while blockading Dongjiang Town. On the one hand, he sold military rations to the enemy, and at the same time, he swore that he would replace the queen Jinmeng Baqi and assured Chongzhen: "These people are begging and are willing to take their wives as hostages to ensure that they will not dare to lure slaves into Jiliao."
After the Ming court received the report, Chongzhen once again ordered a strict ban on selling grain to the Houjin army. Playing the city of Yi to buy cloth in the east, obviously is to respond, how to make slaves? It should be strictly forbidden by the governor." Since Yuan Chonghuan guaranteed five years of peace in Liao, Emperor Chongzhen has not once dismissed Yuan Chonghuan's recital. Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen opened a small opening for Yuan Chonghuan and allowed Yuan Chonghuan to calculate rations. However, trade was not allowed, otherwise it would be punished as "Tongyi", and Yuan Chonghuan once again resisted and did not obey the order......
In June of the second year of Chongzhen, after the death of Mao Wenlong, Huang Taiji immediately announced the start of the army to attack the Ming. 15th. Bulgadu of Karaqin Mongolia went to Liaoyang to discuss the issue of guidance with Huang Taiji. At the same time, the Karaqin Mongols began to build wooden boats on a large scale on the orders of Emperor Taiji for the transportation of supplies, and in the face of such changes, the Liaodong Metropolitan Government did not make any response.
Immediately Huang Taiji invited Shu Bu Mongols, and they discussed until the eighth day of September before completing a specific detail, and on September 22, Fan Wendou happily came to Liaoyang for the last time and reported to Huang Taiji that the grain was ready. Just waiting to squeeze out Lu Hanqiang, and then four million stone grain will be transported out along Yanmen and Zhangjiakou in a steady stream, assembled in Mengnan, and signed a contract with Huang Taiji for the distribution of war dividends with fairness and justice, bilateral mutual trust, the invasion is already in sight, and at this time, whether it is blind to know the crisis of the situation, the Liaodong Metropolitan Government has not issued any alarm.
The northern part of the Ming Dynasty was already in danger, but the imperial court did not take any measures, not only did not do it, but also at the request of Yuan Chonghuan, transferred 30,000 elites from the northern military towns into the Jinzhou line, so that the military towns in the north of the Ming Dynasty only had literally 40,000 horses, among which they were all old, weak, sick and disabled, without pay and food.
Wang Fang's most urgent thing every day is to report the specific information he has to Chongzhen and send it to Lu Hanqiang by urgent mail.
reported to Chongzhen, Chongzhen saw it, because Chongzhen is a diligent and excessive emperor, all the twists and turns must be seen in person, especially the information of his own family, which is even more detailed, but now unconsciously, there is no Lu Hanqiang in the court, the Lone Chen Party is already weak, and Donglin once again occupies the commanding heights, therefore, these reports were refuted by Wen Tiren, the first assistant who is not the first assistant, because this information was reported by Wang Fang, who is Wang Fang's father? Wang Shilang, who does Wang Shilang represent? The sworn enemy of Donglin, the Lone Chen Party, and who is the leader of the Lone Chen Party, is Lu Hanqiang, the natural enemy of Donglin. In line with Donglin's consistent style of opposing for the sake of opposition, this one is going to be opposed to death, and at this time, Chongzhen, because he is still obsessed with Yuan Chonghuan's five-year vow to return to Liao, because there is no Lu Hanqiang, he slowly began to fall to the Donglin Party again, his character is like this, plus the Donglin Party fanned the flames all day long, of course, slowly alienated the Lonechen Party. Therefore, when the situation was already dangerous, Daming was still indifferent.
Putting down this information, Lu Hanqiang rubbed his forehead and smiled bitterly: "Wang Shilang's methods are still not good, if I am in the capital, how can I make everyone vigilant, it seems that my trip to Beijing really has advantages and disadvantages."
”
Since he resigned as the official of Yuncheng Mansion, Hua Shuliang can only follow Lu Hanqiang with all his heart, and now he has become Lu Hanqiang's absolute confidant, of course, he knows the core secret, and he also expresses his understanding and great admiration for Lu Hanqiang to use all means to reorganize the army here.
"The wind knows the strength of the grass, Bandang sees the loyal ministers, this is fine, wait for Houjin to enter the customs, this loyal traitor will naturally be in the daylight, when the time comes, I will see what will happen to Yuan Chonghuan's dog official, and I will see what kind of fate those bastards Donglin will have." Hua Shuliang's firm persuasion.
"Yes, everything will be proven at that time, but this proof has to be based on the premise of countless flesh and blood of my big men, and the price of this proof is too heavy." Lu Hanqiang muttered heavily.
"Therefore, your lord must control a strong military force to deal with the great changes that have not been seen in three hundred years, and then the emperor will know your loyalty and bitterness, and at that time you will enter the palace and take us to assist the emperor in the Ming Dynasty." When Hua Shuliang said this, his eyes were full of passion and **.
Lu Hanqiang sighed in his heart, everyone still trusts the emperor but he has been deceived, and everyone still firmly believes that Chongzhen can rejuvenate the Ming Dynasty, which is an absolute sadness.
What are you? In the history of later generations, these poles, such as Gao Yingxiang, such as Qi Fei (history has its own people), such as Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, Cao Cao (bandit, real name is Luo Rucai) are all positive characters who struggle for the people, and positive characters should be supported, but in the process of history, they saw that the rebel army swept the place immediately thousands of miles away, and there were no more people in the place where there was still a little bit of anger, and the degree of destruction was far beyond their imagination. He had no choice but to become a hateful villain, the executioner of the massacre of the peasant uprising, and the Ming Dynasty, who had no choice but to protect, was it really necessary to protect? Can you really use the power of one person to fight against the boss empire that has been completely corrupted? How can you tell which is right and which is wrong?
When Lu Hanqiang sighed, Wang Jian quickly brought in a young soldier, and when the soldier saw Lu Hanqiang, he immediately knelt on the ground and cried, at this time Lu Hanqiang was stunned, and an ominous premonition was blocked in his head, and the small slash pass was lost, and it was definitely lost at the cost of the annihilation of the whole army.
When this Qi Ce herald finished crying and recounting the whole process, Lu Hanqiang closed his eyes in pain, and his bones withered, this word kept rushing in his mind, and the pain was unbearable.
Since the crossing, he has disregarded life, and he still has a feeling that the people around him are like virtual characters in the game, just a set, just the effect of some numbers piling up, but this time when he really lost a group of iron-clad brothers, Lu Hanqiang's heart was painful.
"Master Inspector, my general said that he will continue to fight for you in hell with a complete formation, my lord, please avenge my general."
Lu Hanqiang was silent for a long time, and then said softly: "I am willing to do what I want." ”
Sending the herald away, spreading his hands, Lu Hanqiang felt that his hands were bloody red, this blood has his own brothers, there are desperate people who rise up, there are bandits who deserve death, and there are countless innocent people. He nodded with red eyes, and said slowly: "Yes, I will go to hell, let Qi Ce wait for me with peace of mind, I will go to hell, and then take them to war with Hades again." ”
Then he suddenly got up and shouted an order to Hua Shuliang: "Order the whole army to set off immediately, and the goal is Pinglu." ”
"However, according to the plan set by the county lord and you, we will have to wait at least five days before we can use Pinglu to consume Qi Fei's grain and grass, Qi Fei's people are sharp, this is not an opportunity." Hua Shuliang loudly blocked the suggestion.
"Five days, how many brothers and how many people will die in vain? I can't wait any longer, I can't watch innocent people die. ”
"However, there are still three guards who haven't arrived, so we'll go again-"
Lu Hanqiang said categorically: "No need to wait, according to my regulations, they should have arrived yesterday, remember, after the war, I don't care what reason they have, I don't care what their background is, the soldiers will be dismissed according to military regulations, and the colonels will be cut down for the crime of delaying the military aircraft." ”
Killing, Lu Hanqiang is used to it.
