Chapter 316: Uproar
Since the route of the march has been decided, there is no need to hesitate and hesitate, but Liu Fan still has one more thing to do before leaving, that is, to arrange for Zhang Yupeng and other civilian personnel to return to Shandong. Originally, according to Liu Fan's plan, the www.biquge.info exterminated these rogues who had almost no ability to resist was just a matter of being caught, but the world was unpredictable, and I didn't expect that after the drag of practicing state affairs, the rogues actually escaped from Liu Fan's control.
Although Liu Fan did not give up, he also understood that this plan seemed to be feasible, but in fact it was just a risk. The long distance and long-distance travel of Canada are no longer suitable for these civilians to follow. Liu Fan could only take the risk and let them return to Shandong alone.
In the misty morning light, Liu Bing'er looked at Liu Fan with tears in her eyes and whispered, "Overseer, the battlefield soldiers are fierce and dangerous, you must take care of yourself, and you must come back alive!" Bing'er is waiting for you to go back and marry me in Jiaozhou! ”
The corners of Liu Fan's mouth twitched, and Mu Ran said, "Miss Liu, don't worry, Liu Fan will be fine with the protection of the army." You go back to Jiaozhou first, and then we can discuss the problem between you and me after I finish this battle? ”
Liu Bing'er burst into tears, and immediately said fiercely, "What? Does the Overseer want to eat it and then deny it? Hmph, now tens of thousands of troops know that I am your person, and there are so many people who are there, even if you want to repay the debt! Since the Overseer has repeatedly prevaricated and refused to admit it, then I will go to Jiaozhou to find someone who can call the shots! Presumably, the two ladies will definitely take me in, the poor Qinglou woman! ”
"Huh!" Liu Fan covered his forehead and looked at Liu Bing'er, who was a little spicy in front of him, and was very puzzled, why he hadn't seen Liu Bing'er change so much in just over a month? Where did that gentle and weak girl go? Everything is complicated, the future is uncertain, and Liu Fan has no time to delve into it.
"It's your own business, I don't care! Are you okay? Let's go as soon as it's okay! After Liu Fan finished speaking, he turned over and got on his horse, and slowly moved north with the army, leaving Liu Bing'er with an angry but helpless face.
The speed of the march of the army that sent off these civilian personnel was noticeably quickened, and the army marched all the way north day and night, passing through Wuguan from west to east to Fengxian.
On the other side, the news of the Liukou's rebellion again also spread all over the world with the performance of state affairs, causing an uproar in the government and the opposition. Chen Qiyu, who was originally complacent, collapsed to the ground the moment he received the news. He knew that he was finished, and with the rebellion of the rogue, he would not only lose his official position and abandon his post, but he was afraid that he would spend the rest of his life in prison. A dream of yellow sorghum will eventually become an empty dream! All Chen Qiyu's achievements and future will come to naught, and at this moment, Chen Qiyu's heart is filled with remorse!
On the 15th of August, the Mid-Autumn Festival, on this day of festive reunion, the atmosphere in the Qianqing Palace was unusually dull. After learning that the Liukou had relapsed and openly rebelled, Chongzhen's first reaction was anger, the anger of renunciation. He couldn't understand why he was so sympathetic to the suffering of the people, but in exchange for a merciless betrayal. Did you really do something wrong?
Seeing Chongzhen's gloomy face, Wen Tiren and Wang Chengen, who were standing on both sides, didn't dare to take a breath, for fear of accidentally leading Chongzhen's anger to themselves.
"Wen Qing, you are the first assistant of the cabinet, can you tell me what I should do now?" After a long while, Chongzhen suppressed the anger in his heart and asked Wen Tiren
Wen Tiren's heart suddenly burst out, and he hesitated, "Your Majesty, I see that the most important thing now is to send a large army to surround the thieves and prevent the thieves from becoming big again!" The second is to send Jinyi Wei to arrest Chen Qiyu and go to Beijing for trial to set an example! ”
Chongzhen sneered, "Chen Qiyu is indeed to blame, I have already sent someone to arrest him." As for the thieves, Jimin has already gone to pursue! Regret not listening to the words of the people, so that this disaster has been caused! ”
After sighing, Chongzhen asked again, "Do the officials in various places have any specific reports on the movements of the Liukou?" What is your cabinet's solution? ”
Wen Tiren was speechless for a moment, so he had to say, "Back to Your Majesty, because the time is too sudden, the cabinet is still discussing a solution." As for the specific plan of action, we can only know after asking the secretary of the Ministry of War, Lord Zhang. ”
Chongzhen shouted angrily, "Counseling, will you only talk about counseling?" After you have discussed it, I am afraid that the thieves will come to the capital! Xuan Zhen's will, ordered the governor of the three sides, Hong Chengchou, to temporarily take the post of governor of the five provinces to enter the customs to exterminate the Liukou! ”
"Your Majesty, never!" Wen Tiren was shocked and said, "Your Majesty is ravaging the Xuanda region in July this year, the situation is as dangerous as an egg, you must not transfer away from Hong Chengchou, otherwise Xuanda is in danger, the barrier in the north of the Ming Dynasty will be lost, and there is a crisis in the capital!" ”
Chongzhen sat down in a daze, and he also knew that it was very inappropriate to transfer Hong Chengchou from Xuanda now. Now, if it weren't for Hong Chengchou and Cao Wenzhao in Xuanda under the pressure of Houjin, I'm afraid Houjin would have hit the vicinity of the capital a long time ago. After being silent for a while, Chongzhen asked faintly, "Then Wen Aiqing said what to do now?" Do you want me to watch the rogue grow bigger and bigger? Is this just the way to let me sit back and watch the Breakers fight alone? Wouldn't I, the Ming soldiers, have a million troops, come up with a little force to exterminate the Liukou? ”
A series of rhetorical questions dumbfounded Wen Tiren, and Wen Tiren knew that if he didn't find a way to give Chongzhen a satisfactory answer, he was afraid that his position as the head of the cabinet would be over. Now Wen Tiren can't care about putting on small shoes for Liu Fan, gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, although Hong Chengchou can't be moved lightly, but the others are fine." His Majesty can order the governor of Shaanxi to practice state affairs and the governor of Henan, Yuan Mo, to lead troops to support. The two of them still have enough troops in their hands now, and they are not too far away to take on this heavy responsibility! ”
Chongzhen waved his hand weakly, "Okay, just do it according to Wen Qing's wishes!" Wen Qing, your cabinet will draw up a decree as soon as possible. I don't want to hear any bad news, you know? ”
Wen Tiren wiped the cold sweat on his head and said carefully: "Obey Your Majesty's will!" ”
After Wen Tiren left, Chongzhen couldn't help but sweep away all the twists and turns on the imperial case with a strong wave, but the bitterness and irritability in his heart had nowhere to vent. Since July this year, Chongzhen has not slept a day since the Jin invasion of Xuanda came, and finally waited for Chen Qiyu and Liukou to defeat Liukou, but before Chongzhen was happy for a few days, Liukou reversed. At this moment, Chongzhen had already deeply felt the weakness of Da Ming. There are rogues wreaking havoc in the Central Plains, and there are Jianjiao constantly invading outside, and the national strength of the Ming Dynasty is constantly consumed by the alternation of inside and outside. Chongzhen once again confirmed that what Liu Fan said was right, Da Ming might really die at his hands! (To be continued.) )
