At the end of the exercise, Zhang Chu was very satisfied with the results of the exercise, and the newly recruited soldiers had a certain combat effectiveness, and they could become qualified soldiers as long as they went to the battlefield a few times. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Xie Lian also got busy when he returned, and immediately wrote a memo to the emperor, in which Xie Lian expressed strong confidence in the victory of the Liaodong war, and after the Shandong rebellion, he would reorganize the Denglai area and continue to build ships to attack Houjin from the sea. Along with the fold, there was also a "secret letter" from Xie Lian to the emperor, this secret letter was also relative to the ministers of the court, and now Xie Lian wanted to report to the emperor what situation could only ask Zhang Chu to send someone to transmit it, and he couldn't even send a piece of paper himself. However, this secret letter was shown to Zhang Chu by Xie Lian willingly, and some of the contents were the result of discussions between the two of them. In the secret letter, Xie Lian praised Zhang Chu, praised him for his great contribution to the counterinsurgency, and emphasized that these Shanxi soldiers showed strong combat effectiveness in the battle, hoping that the emperor would agree to recruit some hungry people from Shanxi, and after Zhang Chu's training in Shandong, they were transported to Liaodong by ship to fight, which not only hit the Houjin, but also reduced the number of thieves in Shanxi. The emperor only needs to pay a small amount of money.

The emperor was also hesitant to receive Xie Lian's recital, and he was still very satisfied with Emperor Xie Lian, but he didn't expect to find the right person this time, and he was asked to replace Sun Yuanhua in Laizhou for several months, not only to ensure that Laizhou was not lost, but also to eliminate the rebels within a few days after escaping. This shows that he has no problems with loyalty and ability, and Emperor Chongzhen himself is also very knowledgeable to select such a good talent. Of course, I have to thank the people who were chosen to die at that time, and none of the courtiers fought for this position for their own power.

For Xie Lian's judgment on the counterattack on Liaodong, Emperor Chongzhen did not dare to agree, the battle of the Daling River Zu Dashou finally surrendered, although he fled back to Jinzhou with a strategy, Emperor Chongzhen showed a rare generosity, and did not punish Zu Dashou who was defeated and lost the city, and also sealed his official position, but the imperial court lost a strategic point outside the pass. At the same time, Sun Chengzong, who was involved in supervising the Guan, was impeached by the civil officials and lost his position, so he had to return to his hometown due to illness. At this time, it was also proposed to recover Liaodong and reuse Zhang Chu, the general of the security army who was appeased, Emperor Chongzhen didn't figure out how Xie Lian, who was born as a jinshi, became so domineering. Could it be that after being surrounded by rebels in the city for a few months, even his personality has changed?

Chongzhen didn't dare to discuss this matter with the ministers, knowing that the discussion would not have any good results. The Shandong rebellion was over, but the ministers in the court had already become a mess, and the ministers who had been appeased at the beginning came to snatch the results of the rebels' defeat, and all the people who had been waiting for several months on the outskirts of Laizhou said that they had forced the rebels away. The rebels were able to force away why they didn't leave a few months ago, or the security army's twists and turns were more objective, only saying that they had taken over Dengzhou and several other cities occupied by the rebels, and that the rebels retreated all thanks to the efforts of reinforcements from all walks of life.

But the ministers of the court were not so polite to the security army, and all kinds of excerpts to impeach the security army were piled up with the emperor's dragon book case, mainly focusing on saying that Zhang Chu exceeded his authority and made arbitrary decisions and disrespected the officials. Saying that Zhang Chu himself occupied the territory of the rebels, confronted others with swords and guns, and did not allow others to enter, Zhang Chu did not obey the orders of his high-ranking officials at all.

Emperor Chongzhen was unwilling to admit that he also had his own responsibilities here, and Zhang Chu was directly appeased by his order and transferred to Shandong to quell the rebellion, and appointed a Yantai general, according to the order of his order, he should be under the jurisdiction of the governor of Denglai. But Xie Lian, the governor of Denglai, was surrounded in Laicheng and could not issue any orders. However, this problem has been solved, Zhang Chu rescued Xie Lian, and now he has a boss under his direct supervision, and others can't point fingers at him.

In addition, the ministers also took the complaints of many squires to accuse Zhang Chu of harming the township and meddling in rural affairs. The countryside of the Ming Dynasty has always been in a state of co-governance between the gentry family and the court officials, and the government rarely manages the affairs of the countryside after paying taxes. However, Zhang Chu wanted to establish a armor protection system, which caused great dissatisfaction among the squires. Chongzhen knew that Zhang Chu was a thief, and it would not be strange if he did something to rob property, but he didn't mention that the security army had killed people and sold goods after looking at it for a long time. originally wanted to order Zhang Chu to hand over a few troublesome soldiers to calm the people's anger, but now it can be avoided. As for Baojia or something, it is really not Zhang Chu's invention, the Ming Dynasty already had this kind of system, and Emperor Chongzhen wanted to strengthen this system, Zhang Chu actually went to the front.

Now the only person Emperor Chongzhen can negotiate with is the great eunuch Cao Huachun.

Cao Huachun is in a good mood these days, the emperor followed his advice and appeased the security army, the security army is still very hard in the war in Shandong, recovering Dengzhou and other places, Wang Chengen, who sent the prison army, did a good job, giving the eunuchs a good start to regain power, and then the emperor will pay more and more attention to the eunuchs.

Hearing the emperor call him over, Cao Huachun understood that the emperor must have something to discuss with him, and now the emperor trusts fewer and fewer people, and there are more and more times to discuss matters with him.

"This is a secret order written by Xie Lian, the governor of Denglai, he wants to appease more thieves to Shandong, and then transport them to the Liaodong battlefield to resist Houjin, do you have any report from the eunuch Wang Chengen who sent him to the security army as a supervisor? Is this security force reliable? Will they rebel again. While saying that Emperor Chongzhen handed Xie Lian's secret letter to Cao Huachun.

Cao Huachun didn't speak immediately, and after carefully reading Xie Lian's letter, he said: "Wang Chengen is watching very closely on the security army's side, according to Wang Chengen's letter, Zhang Chu takes him with him almost every day, if there is any trouble, Wang Chengen should be able to find out." I also sent a thousand households of the Jinyi Guard to be stationed in the security army for a long time, on the one hand, to transmit information, and at the same time to monitor the security army's every move. "Cao Huachun dared to pack tickets for the security army, but depending on the situation, the security army will not take any out-of-the-ordinary actions to make him take the blame, so he emphasized that he has done a lot of things.

"Do you think Xie Lian's plan is feasible?" Emperor Chongzhen was a little relieved.

"Now that the front line of Jinzhou is tight, the power of Houjin is much stronger, and the Denglai area really has to prevent the Houjin soldiers from crossing the sea and heading south. Strengthening the defense of Dengzhou can strengthen the defense there, even if it cannot counterattack Liaodong. The hungry people in Shanxi and Shaanxi had become a heavy burden to the imperial court, and if they could be transported to Liaodong to fight, they could indeed relieve the pressure on both sides. Cao Huachun knew that the emperor was a benevolent monarch, and he couldn't say too much about sending hungry people to Liaodong as cannon fodder.

"I'm just afraid that those hungry people are weak, and it won't be good to be killed or captured by the Houjin people in Liaodong." Emperor Chongzhen was afraid that these exiles, like other armies sent to Liaodong before, would be defeated by the Houjin and waste their food and salaries in vain.

"Don't worry about this saint, don't you have a Zhang Chu in your hands who will turn the homeless people into a strong army, let him handle this matter, so that these homeless people have the ability to resist Houjin, and it can still be done." Both the emperor and Cao Huachun knew Zhang Chu's performance in this counterinsurgency. In addition, Xie Lian also strongly admired Zhang Chu in the secret letter, Cao Huachun decided to help Zhang Chu, how to say that Zhang Chu also arranged for someone to appease him. There is also Wang Chengen staring there, basically Zhang Chu can be regarded as Cao Huachun's person.

"Zhang Chu is really capable of fighting, let him try again this time?" Emperor Chongzhen made an important decision with the ideal of defeating Houjin and achieving the first emperor of the ages. (To be continued.) )
