The current commander of Jinyiwei is named Xu Zhe, and it is said that he was able to take the position thanks to the blessing of the Wei case.

If Wei Zhongxian is still in power, even if he can ascend to the throne, he will not have any real power. When Jin Yiwei was in power under Wei Zhongxian, it was the most difficult period, and it was also the most powerless, and it was suppressed everywhere. But now it's okay, Wei Zhongxian has fallen, and Xu Zhe has also ascended to the throne.

It's just that he keenly noticed that the new emperor was too young, and at the same time, he began to slowly develop the habit of being suspicious.

This can't be blamed on the emperor, after all, he ascended to the throne at such a young age, and he has not experienced the emperor's cultivation of the crown prince, he doesn't know how to learn from the emperor at all, and he doesn't know how to recognize and use people. In such a situation, seeing that he has been fooled by the people below again and again, when he realizes this, his personality will go further and further down the road of suspicion.

When the emperor is a suspicious character, then as the brocade guard of the emperor's Qin army, even the courtiers below may not be able to stay in a certain position all the time. Even today, it may be one person below 10,000 people, and the next day he will be beheaded by a raider. The lessons of history made Xu Zhe face up to Chongzhen's suspicious personality very seriously, and at the same time, he had to leave a way back for himself, so as not to hang himself on a tree.

He will not choose Houjin, so his path can only be the anti-thief side, and the appearance of the Salvation Army made him see hope. At least, it was a hope other than the Emperor, but this hope was too small, and he hoped to make it bigger.

Under the influence of such thoughts, Chongzhen has not been able to get the exact news of Shaanxi, at least the news about the Salvation Army has been concealed.

But today, he realized that he might not be able to hide it anymore.

Xu Guangqi's guy is a bad person and a good thing, it was originally a good thing for you and me, but he wanted to expose it, didn't he think that even if this thing was exposed, he Xu Guangqi would not get any benefits, but would offend the courtiers?

Forget it, at this moment he is facing Chongzhen, and he is thinking about how to answer.

"Over there in Shaanxi, there's really no news at all, I mean the Salvation Army!" Chongzhen asked straight to the point, it seemed to be a question, but a question.

"Until the beginning of this month, the news in Tongzhou was calm, and the Salvation Army seemed to have become a group of bandits in Huanglong Mountain, at most occasionally came out to loot local towns and villages, but did not attack any county seats." Xu Zhe replied very calmly.

Chongzhen has not learned how to recognize and see people, nor does he know any psychology, so naturally he does not understand whether Xu Zhe's words are true or false.

"But is the recital Xu Guangqi gave before fake?" Chongzhen still believes in Xu Guangqi a little.

At least, the first half of the recital given by Xu Guangqi and the information given seem to be true, which is definitely not something that can be written by crankiness, and it must be something that can only be written with real evidence.

"Back to Your Majesty, Shaanxi is a little far from Zhili, and Shaanxi chaotic information is inconvenient, after a piece of information came at the beginning of the month, there is no information for the time being, but the latest issue will come back the day after tomorrow, maybe you can see it and discuss it?" Xu Zhe replied seriously.

"No matter what the news is, at least in the same state, the news involving the Salvation Army will be sent to me!" Chongzhen waved his hand.

He also has to believe the official statements of the courtiers and Jinyiwei, after all, so many people have said that there is nothing wrong, it can't really be everyone who comes together to deceive him, right?

But he didn't want to, after Xu Zhe left, he also realized that it was not appropriate to continue to fool around, so he turned a corner and entered the backyard of the military department to visit. The two talked for an afternoon, and then went their separate ways to contact their own people.

Three days later, the military department Shangshu reported that the Salvation Army was unwilling to be lonely, and finally jumped out, and captured Chengcheng County, killing the county commander Zhang Yaodou. And Xu Zhe, the commander of Jinyiwei, also reported the information for the first time, and it was also about the news that the Salvation Army captured Chengcheng County.

Yes, it is clear that the entire territory of Tongzhou has been captured, but it is only reported in the newspaper that it has captured Chengcheng County. In the report, it even said that the anti-thieves sacrificed nearly 10,000 people, and it was not easy to invade Chengcheng County, and the so-called troubled army was completely a gang of thieves, and the weapons were not complete.

Hearing this report, Chongzhen felt that the news from the three parties was somewhat reliable.

Xu Guangqi's disciples were undercover among local forces, so it was normal for them to get the news earlier, but most of the other news was fictitious in order to attract their own attention. After all, don't the courtiers all say that Xu Guangqi is grandstanding and attracting attention? En, that's all it can be.

The courtiers and Jinyiwei were not wrong, after all, they were calm and quiet before, but now they have just launched an attack, and the news has just been delivered. Considering that Shaanxi is indeed a little far from the capital, it is indeed reasonable to say that a qiē is indeed reasonable.

Then, although Xu Guangqi is not wrong, his behavior of deliberately exaggerating the strength of the army in troubled times in order to compete for merit is indeed a bit excessive, and it makes him reflect more in Dengzhou. But you can't let him be there in vain, give him the identity of Zhizhou, and give yourself a good look at Dengzhou.

As for the Troubled World Army, no matter where Chengcheng was defeated, since it had begun to attack the city, it was naturally no longer a rogue all the time. At the very least, they already have the potential to become a counter-force. Therefore, compared to those rogues in northern Shaanxi, the Salvation Army has become a little hateful.

In that case, it is necessary to resolutely destroy them. It is rare that according to the latest information, the Salvation Army sacrificed so many soldiers to defeat Chengcheng County, and it is only right that its vitality is greatly damaged.

"Then Aiqing, how should this troubled army deal with it?" Chongzhen asked very formulaically.

"Kill, you must kill it all! Since the army of the troubled times dares to capture the city today, who knows if he will attack the city and plunder the city in the future, and become a big trouble for the Ming Dynasty? "There is no need for anyone to organize it now, and everyone's opinions are very unanimous.

"Then who are you going to send to kill them?" Chongzhen smiled slightly.

"The Shaanxi New Army has been fighting against the Shaanxi Liukou for a period of time and has accumulated a certain amount of experience, and the most important thing is that several newly promoted guerrilla generals have shown their strength and prestige. is not weak, send two new armies to attack front and back, maybe you can pacify the salvation army in one fell swoop? "The first assistant made a list of advice.

As for the courtiers behind, they also agreed with this opinion.

The new army is supplied by the local government, and there is no pressure to mobilize them, and the money for its formation also comes from internal funds, which does not cost half a dime to the household. Thinking about those erosive guards, the new army may be the most suitable group of combat effectiveness.

"Okay, now draw up a decree for me, and send me two ...... No, three new armies attacking the Salvation Army! Chongzhen waved his hand, and he completely patted his head to decide the decision of this stupid X.

"Your Majesty, if you transfer the three new armies, who will deal with the rogues in northern Shaanxi?" A courtier came forward to inquire.

"The rogue is just the pain of the moss, but the anti-thief is the fundamental danger of the Ming Dynasty, so no matter how powerful the rogue is, it can be relieved. But no matter how small the anti-thief's power is, it must be eliminated as soon as possible! Chongzhen is very resolute in this regard.

In fact, the country is the scale of all emperors, which can never be touched, even if it is an ant, you must pay for it!

"Yes!" Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, you can only obediently take orders.

The next thing is easy, send a letter to the Shaanxi side, and let the three new armies in Shaanxi exterminate the Salvation Army. As for whether they can be exterminated, that's their business, and it's their business whether they want to go or not. As long as it does not involve their own interests, as long as there is no danger to their own interests, the gentry will not care, nor will they consider what kind of danger they will bring to the Ming Dynasty if they fail.

This is also a strange expression of the late Ming Dynasty, that is, the courtiers of this era really don't look like a courtier.
