"Hahaha, Tong Yan Wuji, Sister Xue Hongqi, don't take it to heart!" Xu Renjie laughed weirdly.

"I ...... I don't have anything to say to you bastards! Xue Hongqi threw down a sentence angrily, turned his head and ran, and after running away, he ran back with a loud voice: "I forgot to ride my horse!" ”

Xu Renjie laughed: "Hey, you're a horse thief, right, you actually forgot the horse?" ”

"The old lady is forgetful, what do you want?" Xue Hongqi turned over and jumped on the horse, shook the whip, this time ran fast, and went to ten zhang away in a blink of an eye, but she suddenly ran back on her stomach again, and said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Brother Zhu, I'll go back to Dali first, and then I'll come to Baishui to find you." ”

"Oh?" Zhu Yuanzhang was slightly curious: "What are you looking for me to do?" ”

"I want to learn something from you!" Xue Hongqi said seriously: "This time I went out with you for a spin, and I have gained a lot of knowledge, and then I know that I am only half a bucket of water, uh...... No, not half a barrel...... If you don't learn more, you won't be able to live for two years and die in a ravine, and your little sister hasn't married yet...... Cough...... My little sister hasn't lived enough. ”

"Hmmm! That's fine, I'll know everything, I'll say everything! Zhu Yuanzhang said seriously: "These brothers under my command also want to learn some kung fu on horseback with the Xue family sisters, let's teach each other." ”

"Okay, then it's settled." Xue Hongqi's horsewhip snapped, she turned her head and glared at Xu Renjie viciously, and then rode out, this time she really ran away and didn't come back.

Xu Renjie looked at her back, and said in a weird manner: "Hahaha, a good man is determined to be in all directions, but a good woman is determined to marry...... This Nizi looks like a spring heart. Which man who doesn't have a daughter-in-law should pick her up, it's really unseemly. ”

The leaders shook their heads together, and then raised their fists the size of a bowl!

"Bump! Touch! Touch! ”

Xu Renjie was beaten by everyone, and after a long time, he turned over and climbed onto the horse, and fled in the wilderness...... When Zhu Yuanzhang led the army back to Baishui, it was already two days later, there were two women standing at the gate of the city, quietly waiting for him to return, he raised his eyebrows and saw that Zhang Yingxian in front of him, Qiu Ye in the back, Qiu Ye was still holding a baby who was only a few months old in his arms...... Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes condensed slightly, and she saw the timid expression on Qiu Ye's face, she still minded that this child was a girl, and she was worried that Zhu Yuanzhang would not like it.

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed lightly, at this time, you have to comfort her with actions, right? He turned over and jumped off the horse, walked in front of Akiba with an arrow, hugged his daughter with both hands, and pretended to be overjoyed: "Great, my lovely daughter!" Grew up to be a well-known good girl. ”

Seeing his movements, a touch of timidity on Qiu Ye's face finally dissipated, she threw herself and hugged Zhu Yuanzhang's arm, the worry that had been pressed in her heart for several months turned into nothingness at this moment, and the tears of happiness finally couldn't help but flow ......down - Chongzhen five years, in September, King Gao Yingxiang, Chuang General Li Zicheng set off from Zezhou City, advanced southward, and broke through Xiuwu County on September 14, and the troops approached Huaiqing Mansion City. The government and the opposition were shocked, but they didn't expect that the thieves would dare to attack the city after the county seat and the state city. Henan squire Zhang Huang was at a loss and jointly asked for help.

The imperial court urgently transferred Zuo Liangyu, the deputy chief soldier of Changping Town, and led more than 2,000 officers and soldiers to Huaiqing. Zuo Liangyu, one of the famous generals in the late Ming Dynasty, made his debut at this time and began to play an important role in the tide of peasant uprisings in the late Ming Dynasty.

Chuang Wang Gao Yingxiang and Chuang general Li Zicheng soon learned Zuo Liangyu's power, tens of thousands of thieves were actually eaten to death by Zuo Liangyu with more than 2,000 officers and soldiers, and were forced to retreat north to the west of the mountain, not daring to stretch out their hands to Huaiqing again.

Shanxi is making a fuss, and Shaanxi is not idle.

First of all, the Mixed Sky Monkey was killed by the Ming general Ma Ke at Yanshui Pass.

At the same time, the governor of the three sides, Hong Chengchou, the governor of Shaanxi * West (note, according to the real history, the governor of Shaanxi at this time is practicing state affairs, but in this book, because Zhu Yuanzhang has changed history, practicing state affairs has been killed, so the governor of Shaanxi * West has other people, let's not make up a name to appear ugly, everyone makes up their own brains), the patrol according to Yu Shi Jinlan and others immediately seized the opportunity to deploy the rebel army in the area of Tiejiao City to encircle and suppress, Hong Chengchou mobilized a large army to suppress on the one hand, and sent spies on the other hand to "go to the thieves' camps in the name of appeasement, and grant secret plans, With a heavy reward, sneak back, let it kill the thief with a thief. ”

Soon a traitor appeared in the rebel army, this person named Bai Guangen, after he led his troops to surrender, he led the army to the camp of the rebel leader Ke Tianfei's camp He family village, but Tianfei was caught off guard and was killed by him.

In October, the king of one word (Tuo Xianling) was killed in the Gudu Temple for the Ming Jingbian soldiers Dai Junen.

In November, Cao Wenzhao and other officers and troops pursued Hao Lin'an and the lone wolf army at Yaozhou Awl Mountain, and the rebel army was defeated and withdrew into Phoenix Mountain. Seeing that the mountain was difficult to attack, the superintendent Dao Fan sent spies into the rebel army, lured the unstable elements to kill Hao Lin'an and the lone wolf, and surrendered to the official army with their heads. The surrendering faction thought that they could get high-ranking officials, but what they did not expect was waiting for them was Hong Chengchou's butcher's knife, he pulled out 400 so-called "hideous and fierce people" from the surrendered personnel and cut off their heads, and the blood stained the loess red...... So far, almost all the peasant rebels in western Shaanxi have been suppressed.

On the seventh day of December, Cao Wenzhao, who had been promoted to Lintao, led Cao Bianjiao, Ma Ke and others to lead 3,500 horse infantry Ding Ding, who had been selected one by one and had been in battle many times, from Qingyang, Gansu Province, to cross the river through Tongguan, enter the west of Shandong, and embark on a long journey to pursue the 36th Battalion.

On December 24, Gao Yingxiang, the king of Chuang, Li Zicheng, the king of Zijin Liang, the king of Zijinliang, Ba Jingang, Guo Tianxing and others joined forces to conquer Liaozhou in one fell swoop...... Ming Xuanda soldier You Shilu chased after him, on December 28, the righteous army was blocked in the city of Liaozhou, the officers and soldiers besieged the city on all sides, the 36th battalion was held according to the city, You Shilu and his son deputy general You Renlong were shot and wounded, but the 36th battalion did not dare to stay in the city for a long time, afraid of being surrounded by officers and soldiers in the city, so they had to abandon the city and break through...... The 36th Battalion was defeated, and 1,300 people were killed alone, and countless others were wounded.

After Li Zicheng and others got out of trouble, they walked into Taihang Mountain, and finally avoided the death pursuit of the officers and soldiers, and temporarily took a breath...... - the sixth year of Chongzhen, the first month!

Capital!

Although it is the first month, it is considered to be spring, but the temperature in the capital is still very low, in the imperial palace, Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen is holding a court meeting to discuss with civil and military officials.

said that it was a discussion, but in fact, Emperor Chongzhen was scolding alone! He first scolded from the ministers and ministers, then scolded the six Shangshu, then scolded the governors of various places, the governors of the prefectures and counties, and then the general banners of thousands of households and hundreds of households, and even the miscellaneous soldiers of the guard were caught and scolded.

"Waste, all waste!" Emperor Chongzhen blushed and roared angrily: "Shaanxi*west, mountain*west, and river*south...... The Central Plains is in turmoil, with the Thirty-six Battalions, Zijin Liang, Chuang Wang, the Eight Kings of Xiying, and the Eight Baishui Zhu ...... These names are calloused, and who of you will tell me why they live so long? Well? Why are you still alive and well? ”

"It's not that the officers and soldiers don't work hard, it's really that the thief army is too cunning......" I don't know which official muttered in a low voice, the voice was not big or small, and Chongzhen actually heard it.

Chongzhen was furious: "Cunning? Cunning fart! When you guys were engaged in court politics, one was more cunning than the other, what's wrong now? Can't even compare to a bunch of mud feet who haven't even read a bunch of books? Hum! You might as well be a thief's brain? What do I want you to do? Wouldn't it be okay for me to find a group of mud legs to make six books? Pass on the decree to me, next year's imperial examination will be changed to an exam for farming! ”

"Your Majesty, this matter must not be done!"

"Your Majesty, throughout the ages, there has never been a imperial examination for farming!"

"Please ask the emperor to take back his fate!"

"Your Majesty, you can't do this!"

The civil officials were shouting, but the military attaches were secretly crooked.

"Shut up!" Chongzhen said angrily: "I just scolded casually, and I don't really want to take the imperial examination to farm, so you will come to the spirit?" Where did you go when you were going to die just now? When it comes to suppressing bandits, why don't you dare to speak? ”

“……”

The civil servants were silent again.

"The thief entered Taihang Mountain, it's really interesting now." Chongzhen said weakly: "They can jump out of Taihang Mountain at any time, and they will be killed under the capital tomorrow, hum!" "This is the truth, the east of Taihang Mountain is Hebei Province, and the capital is ...... It happens to be in the very center of Hebei Province, and once the thieves are stationed in Taihang Mountain, they may appear outside the capital at any time.

The officials were speechless.

"Speak! Advice! Isn't it very good to say one by one? Stop pretending to be deep, or I'll really want to change the imperial examination to farming. Chongzhen said helplessly.

The hall walked out of the matter, Meng Guozuo, and said stubbornly: "The throat of Jinan is heavy, Shunde is the great plain, and it is ...... to go straight to Beijing for thousands of miles."

"Don't drop your bookbag, explain it to me!" Chongzhen rolled his eyes weakly.

Meng Guozuo coughed and said: "Adjust the trilateral governor Hong Chengchou, the Sichuan general Deng Xi, the Changping general Zuo Liangyu, and the Shan*xi general Zhang Yingchang, and the four departments are encircled...... These four adults are all good generals who can fight habitually, as long as they work together, even if the thieves go to heaven and earth, there is no way to escape! ”

"Oh?" Chongzhen finally heard a little substantive suggestion, and his spirits perked.

"Then transfer 2,000 soldiers from Tongzhou, 2,000 soldiers from Changping, and 8,000 people from Liangfu's department of Baoding's general army, and cooperate with the famous soldiers to prepare Lu Xiangsheng to suppress them, so that the thieves will definitely be completely killed."

When the officials next to them heard this, they broke out in a cold sweat: Meng Guozuo, do you have a brain? With such a transfer, all the soldiers from all over the country have been transferred to Taihang Mountain, what are you going to do? With so many troops gathered together, if the general who led the army suddenly reversed...... If you don't know it, it's a re-enactment of the Chenqiao mutiny...... How could the emperor agree?
