The night raid was completely over after more than an hour, the sporadic resistance and pursuit finally came to an end, the fire was extinguished by the thieves themselves, and although most of the camp was burned, there were still a lot of tents and supplies that had to be retained, all of which now belonged to the Huanglong Cottage.

More than an hour ago, Zhang Fushun was still writing and painting in the big tent of the Chinese army, but at this time the big tent of the Chinese army has become the territory of the thieves, Zhu Yuanzhang sat on a small stool in the tent, surrounded by Ma Xiaotian and several guards.

Ma Xiaotian walked around the tent, trying to find out if there was anything valuable, but he was disappointed, Zhang Fushun's Chinese army tent didn't have anything decent, except for a marching bed and a simple desk, nothing else. He couldn't help but scold: "This is also the deputy chief soldier? Why don't you put a tiger skin in the tent or something? Let me use it to make a tiger skin jacket. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and scolded with a smile: "People are officials of the Donglin Party faction, although the Donglin Party has many shortcomings, but the atmosphere of not being greedy and not taking is maintained well, if you want to seize some property, it would be wrong to find the Donglin Party." ”

Ma Xiaotian shrugged his shoulders.

The desk in front of Zhu Yuanzhang put the four treasures of the study, some pieces of paper were scattered on the table, he picked up a few and looked at them, it turned out to be a formation map drawn by Zhang Fushun, the formation map was drawn in a village in Chengcheng as the general environment, although it was simple, but there were also a few rules, and some symbol-like lines were drawn next to it, which seemed to be the route he calculated when he was surrounded by thieves.

Zhu Yuanzhang slowly crumpled these pieces of paper into a ball, and sighed lightly: "Talking on paper!" The situation on the battlefield is so changeable, no matter how much you draw on a piece of paper, no matter how well you calculate, what's the use? The enemy army changes formation one by one, and all your pieces of paper must be invalidated, alas! Donglin Party, ah......"

At this time, Wang Er opened the door curtain and came in: "Brother Zhu, my side has completed the counting, and captured 344 spears, 130 knives, 147 bows, and 350 mandarin duck battle jackets from the dead......

Then Miao Mei also walked in: "Brother Zhu, my side has also completed the inventory, and the ...... have been seized"

"Well, that's good!" Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said: "Record the quantity, bundle it together, and after turning around and letting Li Chujiu count and put it into storage, I will reward you for your meritorious deeds!" ”

At this moment, the door curtain was lifted again, Yang Hong strode in, threw his hand away, and a bloody human head rolled on the ground a few times: "Wu Fu's head, I took it back!" ”

"Hmm!" The men in the tent all looked sideways, but this group of people had all seen Wu Fu's appearance, so they looked at it in vain.

"Very good, this battle has been a complete victory, early tomorrow morning, enter Baishui City, let's take Baishui to take it!"

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

Chongzhen four years, late September!

The sky of the capital is really empty! Of course, the emptiness is definitely not only the sky, but also the heart of Emperor Chongzhen, which is already a little cang. At this time, hundreds of civil and military officials are gathering in the main hall, Emperor Chongzhen is sitting on the dragon chair, his sitting posture today is as straight as usual, and the dragon robe is neatly worn, strict and solid. The hole in his middle coat hadn't been patched yet, and he had to keep this neat sitting position.

"Summoning all the ministers here today is to announce something important." Emperor Chongzhen tried his best to make his voice sound as smooth as possible: "A few months ago, at the request of Yang He, the governor of the three sides, I allocated 100,000 internal funds to him, hoping that he could appease the Liukou and make him a good citizen...... Results ......"

In fact, if you don't talk about this result, which of the officials in the hall doesn't know, and which one doesn't know? Hearing this, all the officials were cold in their hearts, and the emperor summoned us today to settle Yang He's account...... This is not a trivial matter, the three governors have fallen, and I don't know how many officials will be implicated.

Emperor Chongzhen snorted coldly, and then said: "Yang He is in charge of the whole of Shaanxi, what kind of power. It is to listen to the rampant rogue, and if it cannot be extinguished, it will destroy the living souls, and it will be a great responsibility. After being dismissed, the official flag of the brocade guard was dismantled, and he came to Beijing to investigate. There is a shortage of personnel to push the worthy to use. If you still play indulgence, you will be punished with heavy punishment. (Excerpt from the original words of Chongzhen in historical facts)

Hearing Emperor Chongzhen's order, the officials under the hall immediately discussed in a low voice.

"Is this to dismiss Governor Yang and investigate it?"

"Why is the emperor so angry?"

"Angry? The emperor looks quite calm! ”

"Calm? Laugh to death! You rarely go to court, do you? The emperor's expression now, it is not strange to say whose head to kill at any time......"

"Definitely, this time Shaanxi * West failed to appease the thieves, and spent the emperor's 100,000 taels of internal funds in vain, don't you know that the emperor now values silver very much? Gee...... Yang He will definitely not be able to run away......"

"This official has already said that Yang He's main policy is not good, and it should be suppressed, ruthlessly...... Kill all the untouchables to calm the situation. ”

A large group of officials exchanged their heads and ears, and no one came out to help Yang He speak, because everyone knew that Yang He was finished, and the king of heaven and Lao Tzu could not save him, and whoever came out to save him now was jumping himself into the fire pit, and it was better to say less at this time.

After Emperor Chongzhen finished talking about Yang He, he was silent for a while, mourning for his 100,000 taels of water, his heart was indeed very sad, you must know that he is the Ninety-Five Supreme, but he has to wear a patched and torn middle coat, isn't it just to save that little bit of silver? As a result, Yang He's guy was good, and with a wave of his hand, he took the 100,000 taels he used to eat and inspect the province to raise the thief...... How could this make him feel good in his heart?

I knew that this money would end up like this, and I should have used it in Liaodong! Chongzhen thought hatefully! But it's impossible to get back what you've lost, and it's too late to be upset or angry. He gasped a few times and gathered his mind back before he spoke again, "I have one more thing to say!" ”

Oh? Anyone else is going to be unlucky? The group officials are secretly refreshed! In particular, the officials of the main suppression faction were all overjoyed, and they wished that there were still officials of the main faction who would be dismissed, so that they could free up some official positions to install their own people......

Chongzhen snorted coldly and said, "There is another bastard who also has to be cured!" ”

The emperor actually used the word "bastard" at the court meeting, and he couldn't even take care of the emperor's prestige? It can be seen how much the emperor hates this person, and all the officials are so frightened that they all shrink their necks.

"I can't say anything about him, Cao Huachun, you can tell me!" Chongzhen stretched out his hand, and a eunuch came out next to him. The eunuch was about forty or fifty years old, and his face was clean. Although he is a eunuch, he does not look vulgar and incompetent like ordinary eunuchs. You must know that most of the eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty were illiterate, and few of them were well-written. Because eunuchs often come from poor families, they have little opportunity to read and write. Therefore, most of the eunuchs have no background, and they have been criticized by civil officials for this reason. This eunuch named Cao Huachun is different from most eunuchs, he is proficient in writing and ink, poetry, calligraphy and painting, and can be regarded as an intellectual among eunuchs, and because of this, his speech and demeanor seem to be better than ordinary eunuchs.

In the early years of Chongzhen, he was entrusted with the important task of rehabilitating Wei Zhongxian's unjust case, and won the trust and reliance of Emperor Chongzhen, and because he helped many Donglin Party members persecuted by Wei Zhongxian when redressing unjust cases, he had a good relationship with Donglin Party.

Chongzhen asked him to speak, and he obediently walked out, unfolded a volume of letters in front of the hall, and said loudly: "This letter is a secret note sent back by Wu Fu, the minister of the imperial mission to western Shaanxi, a month ago, and it describes in detail what Du Wenhuan, the chief soldier of Tingsui, did in this rebellion...... Let's read this for all the adults......"

Cao Huachun began to read, what did this letter say? It is all Du Wenhuan's bad deeds, and the letter recounts his ineffective operation in killing good people and attacking Huanglong Cottage...... There are many crimes, and I haven't finished reading a pillar of incense in time.

As soon as this letter was read, many of the neutral ministers in the church were happy...... Everyone knows that although the Donglin Party and Yang He do not necessarily have the same road, but the Donglin Party is also the main Fu faction, this time the main Fu faction fell to a Yang He, the main battle faction should have gained the upper hand, but I didn't expect the main Fu faction to kick his legs to death, and wanted to kick Du Wenhuan of the main battle faction off the cliff, it's really interesting! It's a lot of fun.

At this time, there should often be a group of ministers from the main battle faction who jumped out to help Du Wenhuan speak, especially the generals of the military, who will definitely take a protective attitude towards a famous general like Du Wenhuan. As for the ineffective combat, you only need to put the blame on Wu Fu, who has died, and say that he divided his own troops, and the poor logistics can cover up the past...... In short, as long as the officials of the main battle faction are of one mind, it may not be impossible to protect Du Wenhuan.

It's a great time for neutrals to have fun!

Unexpectedly, this time the ministers of the neutral faction were disappointed, and none of the ministers of the main battle faction in the hall stood up to speak for Du Wenhuan, as if they had reached some kind of consensus before the last dynasty, they all chose to give up Du Wenhuan.

"Huh? That's amazing! The neutral officials couldn't help but huddle together and whisper. Even the officials of the Donglin Party were taken aback, they originally planned to insult the guns and arrows and fight with the officials of the main battle faction, why are the people of the main war faction collectively silent today?

They couldn't have imagined that a few days ago, thousands of households in the Shenji Battalion fled back from western Shaanxi, and when they returned to the capital, they were already disgraced and embarrassed, but he didn't care about resting, and immediately spread the news of Du Wenhuan's abandonment of friendly troops and fleeing for his life to the ears of the officials of the main battle faction! For the generals of the military, the most intolerable thing is to abandon the friendly army and flee for their own lives, so this time...... Du Wenhuan is really isolated!

Zhu Yuanzhang let go of Ma Rulong's move, and dragged Du Wenhuan's hind legs like this, knocking him down to the dust!
