Chapter 607: Encirclement and Suppression

With a snap, Chongzhen threw a few folds on the ground, Cao Huachun hurriedly knelt on the ground when he heard the sound, and several little eunuchs stepped forward to collect the folds. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

These folds are all submitted by the cabinet, handed over to the celebrant to be screened and handed over to the emperor, and according to the rules, there must be a receipt, so according to the practice of the palace, it must not be destroyed at will, even the Son of Heaven cannot be messed with in this matter.

The blood vessels on Chongzhen's head were beating so hard that he could even feel it himself, and his heart was churning.

Chongzhen clenched his teeth and sat on the dragon chair with his head slightly panting, Wang Chengen felt that Chongzhen's body was not quite right this time, and hurriedly came up to massage Chongzhen in person, so that the Son of Heaven could relax and relieve the depression in his heart.

"Get up, you're not too young, and this matter has nothing to do with you." Chongzhen waved his hand to Cao Huachun, who was still kneeling on the ground with gray temples.

Cao Huachun hurriedly thanked him, his heart was also full of helplessness, now Daming is a broken ship leaking everywhere, and there are excerpts everywhere asking for disaster relief and asking for the suppression of bandits.

As for the excerpts of the northern military emergency, it is even more difficult to count, and these excerpts are finally collected in the cabinet first, and the cabinet elders gather together to select the important excerpts and hand them over to the celebrant in the palace, and he, Cao Huachun, as the eunuch of the celebrant and the eunuch, is selected according to the priority and delivered to the Holy Judge.

And now that the embarrassment of the situation has caused almost no good news to be delivered, so he Cao Huachun has nothing wrong and has been wronged and scolded by the Son of Heaven more and more times.

Alas, this job is really impossible to do, Cao Huachun, who has reached the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, has made up his mind in his heart, and recently returned to his hometown to live in idleness to avoid this unforeseen situation.

Maybe when the country was in peace and security, this eunuch was a good errand with high power, but if it is a day of bandang, this position is a back, and it has become a punching bag for the lord and the old ministers of the cabinet, and anyone who has a temper can reprimand him.

"Invite all the pavilion elders to discuss how to punish this Zhao Lie who committed a capital crime."

Chongzhen's words were murderous, but Cao Huachun had no waves in his heart, and there was no way for the court to punish Zhao Lie.

"The old slave immediately sent someone to invite a few elders to face the saints."

Cao Huachun hurriedly bowed down and took the order, he now hoped that the farther away from here was better, and the next discussion to punish Zhao Lie was a meaningless discussion.

An hour later, the first assistant Kong Zhenyun, the second assistant Xue Guoguan, Yang Sichang, the secretary of the Ministry of War, Fu Guan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and others gathered in the Qianqing Palace.

"You and other ministers have already known about the violent death of King Lu in Gunzhou, Shandong, and they all know that King Lu's death was caused by the rebellious soldiers attacking the royal city for extortion, and where did the rebellious soldiers come from, it is Zhao Lie's command, this Zhao Lie, who has no heaven and the royal family, actually sent thousands of cavalry to attack the palace of King Lu in Gunzhou, it is really a heavenless family, you discuss how to deal with this rebellion."

Chongzhen's cold words echoed in the hall, and the tone and words revealed bitter hatred.

The ministers were silent for a while, the Son of Heaven had already given Zhao Lie a tone, that is, the rebellion of the Ming Dynasty, and no matter how much else he said, it was useless.

Zhao Lie is no longer a major crime of rebellion, and he has successively sent troops to the Japanese State and North Korea without an edict, and finally sent troops to Qingzhou, which is an unforgivable capital crime.

But there was no big deal about this incident, this time it was to send troops to attack the town of a vassal king, loot property, and frighten this vassal king to death, it was really the first time in the Ming Dynasty, Zhao Lie dared to attack the vassal king, that is, the Son of Heaven was not in his eyes.

This time, Zhao Lie stabbed the sky into a big hole, and he didn't say anything about the crime of rebellion, isn't this a crime of rebellion.

And as a major crime of rebellion, what I didn't say was to rob the family and exterminate the clan, but first you have to arrest Zhao Lie before you can deal with it like this, otherwise who do you punish is now a problem, how can Zhao Lie be arrested.

"The minister looks at the excerpts of the Gunzhou Mansion, this Zhao Lie clashed with the palace because Zhao Lie's two shops and money and grain were occupied by the palace, I'm afraid there is something unclear here."

Fu Guan bowed deeply.

Fu Guan's idea is very simple, can you go around a circle, don't have such a fierce conflict, it's too unreliable to lock up Zhao Lie, it's best to change the way of punishment.

But Fu Guan's vision was still a little shallow, he didn't find it boring here, he still thought that this was the vassal king who began to rely on power to rob other people's money again, but this time, he didn't expect to snatch Zhao Lie, but he could be regarded as kicking the iron plate, Zhao Lie was furious, and King Lu even took his life.

Chongzhen waved his hand unhappily, indicating that he heard it, can he say that all this is the secret decree he issued to control Zhao Lie's businessmen to make trouble, and if you calculate it carefully, this King Lu is also a greedy person, and this thing of robbing people's wealth is definitely not very one or two, but this time Zhao Lie, but he, the son of tomorrow, instigated and acquiesced, as a result, Zhao Lie dared to send an army through the road to attack Gunzhou, and King Lu died of fright.

He Chongzhen can't help but say something about this matter, if he is not punished, who in the other Shandong governments that surround Denglai and the businessmen who seek wealth for Zhao Lie still dare to do errands conscientiously, so will Zhao Lie continue to be bigger.

"Yang Sichang, according to you half a month ago, Xiong Wencan, Sun Chuanting, and Hong Chengchou in Henan and Shaanxi have reported successes one after another, and the extermination of bandits is just around the corner, and can the rebellious and rebellious people be annihilated in one fell swoop in a few months."

Chongzhen looked at Yang Sichang.

Yang Sichang, the secretary of the military department, is the son of the famous minister Yang He, who is extremely shrewd and capable, and is especially famous for knowing the soldiers among the ministers, so he was promoted from the governor of Xuanda to the secretary of the military department into the cabinet.

In response to the rebellion of the people in the Central Plains, he put forward a ten-sided net to suppress the strategy, which was adopted by Emperor Chongzhen and gave strong support, and successively mobilized troops from the original five provinces and more than two million taels of money and grain to suppress the rebellion.

In the past year, the official army has defeated Zhang Xianzhong, Luo Rucai and other rebel leaders, forced them to be appeased, and killed the rebellious brigades such as the Holy World King, the Gua Bei King, and the Earthquake King to reverse the situation.

It can be said that the banditry in the Central Plains has finally been completely resolved after ten years, and since then, whenever it comes to military affairs, Chongzhen will ask Yang Sichang's opinion, which he relies on.

Yang Sichang is bitter in his heart, and now Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting are fighting with the rebel leader Li Zicheng, the so-called king of Chuang, who is fighting in two ways, which can be said to be a mutual victory or defeat, but now the space for the rebels' activities is greatly compressed, and it can be said that there is a great hope of annihilating them.

He also reported this to the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven gritted his teeth and took out the money and food for him to suppress the bandits, of course he had to report it to the Son of Heaven from time to time.

But isn't it difficult for him to let him say when he can suppress the rebellion at this time, who can say this accurately, the fate of those Yuan Chonghuan, Xiong and others who used to say the time is there, this can be said, don't say that you are not sure, even if you are sure, you can't say no, in case, who can bear the anger of the Son of Heaven at that time.

"Long live Bing, now the Central Plains is a critical juncture, although the situation is very good, but the thieves are cunning, once they are defeated, they often drill mountains and mountains to avoid the war officers and soldiers, which makes it extremely difficult to exterminate them, and the subordinates are dead, and it is really uncertain when the rebellion can be completely eradicated."

Yang Sichang knelt down in the tunnel.

He spoke earnestly, hoping that this impatient son of heaven would listen to him, and at this time, he must not mobilize the hundreds of thousands of troops to return, otherwise his previous achievements would be wasted.

Emperor Chongzhen frowned displeasedly, "I'll give you another three months, you must exterminate the rebels, and return the Central Plains to the place where the land is clear." ”

Chongzhen, one is to prepare an army for the crusade against Zhao Lie, and the other is that he has been suppressing bandits for more than ten years, he has really been looking forward to it for too long, and finally the situation has changed a lot, and success is in sight, he really can't wait.

Yang Sichang wants to cry without tears, how can he know when the bandit will be resolved in the end, the request of the Son of Heaven is almost unreasonable and arrogant, but can you reason with the Son of Heaven.

Kong Zhenyun saw Yang Sichang's appearance, and finally couldn't help but suggest,

"Long live Qiyu, now the army is controlled by Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting outside, not to mention Yang Shangshu, even Xiong Wencan, the governor of the five provinces, can't say the approximate date of exterminating the bandits. Moreover, the strategy for suppressing bandits in front was formulated by Governor Xiong and others, and they would have their own plans outside, so it was best for the imperial court not to force orders, after all, it was Xiong Wencan, Sun Chuanting and others who knew the military situation best. ”

Kong Zhenyun's support for Yang Sichang is not because he has a good impression of Yang Sichang, on the contrary, he is quite tired of Yang Sichang, who is proud of his talents, but he also sees the hope of exterminating the rebels.

If the suppression of bandits is successful, he will no longer have to worry about a large amount of money and food for suppressing bandits, otherwise, there will be a huge number of holes waiting for him and other ministers to fill.

Chongzhen's chest rose and fell, he really felt too aggrieved, Da Ming, who was worried about internal and external troubles, didn't let him take a good breath, and he couldn't do it after looking forward to ten years of success in suppressing bandits, and the punishment of Zhao Lie couldn't be carried out immediately, was he still the supreme son of Da Ming.

"Long live the lord, do you want to extend the period to half a year, half a year, I want to come to Lord Xiong, Lord Sun, Lord Hong, you can exterminate the bandits, and share the worries for the long live lord."

Xue Guoguan said while glancing at a few pavilion elders, it was June at this time, if it was shorter, it seemed that the Son of Heaven was going to go crazy again.

The other people reluctantly said that it should be June, otherwise the time would indeed be too short.

Chongzhen agreed depressedly, after all, June is much better than no deadline, but it was only delayed for six months to launch a large army to attack Zhao Lie, and he could not be punished immediately, which made him, the son of heaven, extremely resentful.

Then he discussed with a few elders, where else to draw the army to join the Central Plains army to crusade against Denglai, after all, it was only a soldier in his early 100,000s, but he did not dare to guarantee victory, and the opponent on the opposite side was the so-called military god Zhao Lie.
