In the seventh year of Chongzhen, Chen Qiyu, the military governor of the five provinces, transferred all the officers and troops to gather in Shaanzhou, Henan, and then moved south to attack the rebel army in Junxian and Zhushan in Hubei.

Fortunately, they are going to Wuguan, if they enter Tongguan, I am afraid that they will have to clash with Zhu Yuanzhang's army again, and then Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't know if he can scare away Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong like scaring away the rampant wolves.

In the summer of this year, Baishui's training ground was sprinkled with the sweat of the old first team and the second team, who carried a full set of armor weighing fifty pounds, held heavy iron shields, and practiced formation, marksmanship, and running under the leadership of Wang Er...... Seeing their hard training, the soldiers of the 32nd team or the 64th team knew that it was not so easy to be a soldier, and excellent equipment meant a greater burden and a greater responsibility. In the past, some soldiers still felt more or less that Brother Zhu was biased, and all the good equipment was used by the old first team and the second team, but only then did they really know that they were wrong, at least at this time, they were not qualified to wear that set of fifty pounds, because their small shoulders could not bear such a weight.

When Xia Yao was halfway through, another 300 sets of armor were sent over, so the third team, the fourth team, and the fifth team did not escape, and they were also covered with heavy armor and ran to the training ground to practice with the old first team and the second team. Five hundred iron bumps twisted and writhed, all of them had difficulty moving, but they were all the oldest Jingying soldiers in Huanglong Cottage, gritted their teeth, endured it and carried it.

When Xia Yao was about to finish, two hundred guns were quietly transported, and because Zhu Yuanzhang did not have enough gunpowder in his hands, he had to hand over these guns to Yang Hong in a very low-key manner, without letting any soldiers know. Yang Hong quietly selected two hundred soldiers from among the recruits and took them to a ravine far away from Whitewater City, where they were isolated from ordinary soldiers. Let them practice the formation of the firecrackers with the previous 150 firecrackers, they have no gunpowder, and for the time being, they can only learn the theoretical knowledge of the use of firearms and learn the distance of the rebels and the enemy, but they have never had the opportunity to train with live ammunition.

But Yang Hong knew that Zhu Bugs must have the ability to let them use live ammunition as soon as possible.

At the beginning of autumn, a shocking big news exploded under the whole child. The two rebel armies of the eight kings of Xiying strayed into danger on the Hanzhong plank road, where the mountains are high and the roads are steep, and the residents are sparse. The officers and soldiers were condescending, blocking the road with stones, and attacking with stones from the mountains, burning torches, and the rebels were trapped in the gorge and could not get out, hungry and tired. Moreover, the unfortunate children encountered heavy rain for 20 years, flash floods, the gorge water rose, and the thieves suffered heavy casualties, and the whole army was about to be wiped out.

At this time, as long as Chen Qiyu was a little bolder and led the army to rush into the gorge, history would have to change its face. Pity...... The trajectory of history is not so easy to reverse, Chen Qiyu is cautious and conservative, and does not dare to advance lightly. The generals and the eight kings of Xiying took advantage of Chen Qiyu's shortcomings of not being ruthless and decisive, and sent in to give the gold, silver and jewelry they had looted along the way to the officers and soldiers and generals who surrounded the gorge. Then General Chuang and the Eight Kings of Xiying expressed their willingness to surrender to Chen Qiyu and accept the appeasement of the imperial court.

Chen Qiyu is really romantic, he believes it is true, and when the thief army is in a desperate situation, he really surrenders. The officials around him who had been bribed also helped the thief army to intercede, but Chen Qiyu thought that he could do it without much effort, so he decided to appease him.

After he reported to the imperial court, he was supported by Zhang Fengyi, the secretary of the military department. With the personal approval of Emperor Chongzhen, in June of this year, Chen Qiyu represented zhèng

Fu reached an agreement with the rebels to recruit security: Chen Qiyu would send a pacification officer for every 100 soldiers to monitor and repatriate to his hometown; The prefecture county is made up of local zhèng

fu supplies grain and grass; At the same time, the official army was stopped from marching to avoid conflict. According to historical records, there were more than 40,000 people who were sent into the report by the thief army at that time.

So the thief army "went out of the stack as a whole brigade, drank with the Qi Yu soldiers, rode on the horse, and slept on their feet." The thieves who have no clothes and armor are all neat, and those who have no bows and arrows are all sharpened, count

iThose who do not eat are full. The thieves skilfully survived the difficulty in this way, and in the first night, "they bound all the pacifiers, or killed, or cut off their ears, or reprimanded with rods, or bound and thrown at the way." Raiding Baoji, Linyou and other places, it is impossible to control the vertical and horizontal. ”

Chen Qiyu woke up like a dream at this time, and he knew that he had fallen into a big disaster. He first blamed Li Jiayan of Baoji Zhixian County, saying that he obstructed the Fuju and killed the radical changes; Then he put the responsibility on the governor of Shaanxi...... The capital, the Imperial Palace!

Emperor Chongzhen sat on the top, and the civil and military officials were lined up left and right. Emperor Chongzhen's breath was not very smooth, he was sitting on the dragon chair, his chest had been rising and falling slightly, and his breath was obviously quite uncomfortable: "I handed over the military affairs of the five provinces to Chen Qiyu, and he gave me such an answer?" ”

The officials were speechless.

"Rubbish! It's rubbish! Chongzhen roared angrily: "How did such a waste competition climb to the position of governor of the five provinces? ”

Baiguan rolled his eyes, and he didn't dare to say a word timidly, but the bold one muttered in a low voice: "It's not that you are afraid that Hong Chengchou will be in power, so you will give the important position of governor of the five provinces to an incompetent person like Chen Qiyu." ”

The emperor is not good at being o, Chongzhen is also sighing in his heart, if the governor who pursues and suppresses the thief army is a capable person, he may threaten his own country, and if he is a waste, he will still threaten his country...... What should I do with this competition? Can it be used or waste is used? Who will give him a standard answer?

The poor bear child Chongzhen shouted aggrieved in his heart, but he forgot one thing, if he was extremely powerful, more than he could enter, then why was the governor a capable one? No matter how capable the governor is, as long as the emperor's ability is higher and stronger than him, the country will not waver.

In the final analysis, the incompetent entry is his own entry!

After Chongzhen roared angrily for a while, he said loudly: "Who will tell me, how should this matter end?" ”

The hall stood up to Gu Guobao in the matter, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Chen Qiyu is ignorant, Yang He had done something to appease a few years ago, but the thief Fu rebelled, and there was no faith at all. ”

When Chongzhen heard this, his face was slightly red, why did he blush? In fact, the reason is very simple, Chen Qiyu asked Emperor Chongzhen with an urgent letter of 800 miles before appeasing him, and said something to the effect: "Your Majesty, can we appease Liukou?" ”

At that time, Chongzhen didn't think much about it, and approved it easily, but now there is a problem, although Gu Guobao said that Chen Qiyu was stupid, but in Chongzhen's ears, it seemed that he was talking about himself, and it was a stupid person who asked for a fuss, so is the one who approved the appeasement considered a stupid?

Emperor Chongzhen coughed, and his buttocks moved unnaturally on the dragon chair: "Chen Qiyu said in his book that this appeasement was originally very successful, because Li Jiayan of Baoji County and the governor of Shaanxi obstructed the pacification bureau and killed and surrendered the drastic changes. ”

When he looked like this, the expressions of the hundreds of officials in the hall were strange. The officials who can stand in the Huangji Hall to hold a court meeting, which one is not Jing? Halfway through hearing the emperor's words, everyone already knew that this was the emperor trying to cover up for himself, don't twist this matter and tear it down, tear it down again, and have no face and no skin, everyone will play together.

Emperor Chongzhen saw that the hundred officials stopped talking, so he waved his hand and said: "Spread my will, Suona Baoji Zhixian and the governor of Shaanxi * West, dismiss him from his post and investigate it, and order Li Qiao to take over the post of governor of Shaanxi * West." ”

When all the officials heard this, they sighed in their hearts: Poor Baoji Zhixian and the governor of Shaanxi, you are helping the emperor carry the black pot.

In the group, only Gu Guobao's eyes widened and he was sweating profusely. In order to be more upright, although he could see what the emperor was playing Tai Chi, he didn't agree very much, and after sweating all over his face, he finally mustered up the courage and said: "Your Majesty...... There is no opinion on the dismissal of these two ministers, but ...... Chen Qiyu can't be punished if he doesn't punish him! If he is allowed to continue to stay in the position of the military governor of the five provinces, the thieves dare to laugh at me. ”

He is still a little clever in this entry, knowing that Chongzhen's face cannot be torn, and if he is torn, he will definitely go berserk, but in another direction, the face of the Ming Dynasty is still taken care of? If Chen Qiyu is not dealt with, and the traitor army who has suffered such a big loss is left in the position of the governor of the five provinces, will the thief army still treat this matter as a joke? It was useless for Chongzhen's face to be saved, because the face of the Ming Dynasty was completely ruined...... Sure enough, as soon as he said this, Chongzhen's face was extremely good-looking, red for a while, white for a while, blue for a while, purple for a while, colorful like a rainbow, and finally stabilized. Chongzhen waved his hand embarrassedly and sadly and said: "Pass the decree, and dismiss Chen Qiyu, the military governor of the five provinces, from his post and put him in prison." ”

Huh, all the officials breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, the emperor didn't go berserk, he still kept his sanity.

I saw Chongzhen gasping for breath for a while, before he flattened the depression in his heart, and said unhappily: "Now that Chen Qiyu's position is vacant, who will be replaced?" ”

Hearing him ask this, the civil and military officials below didn't think about it, and all of them knelt down at once, and said loudly: "Weichen elected Hong Chengchou, the governor of the three sides, and he will be the governor of the military affairs of the five provinces, so that the thieves have nowhere to escape." ”

Chongzhen saw that the general trend had come to this, and finally had nothing to say, waved his hand and said, "Just do it." ”
