Chapter 1052: Only Zuo Liangyu is left

"Your Majesty." Zheng Yuelin emotionally threw herself into the arms of Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen, Zheng Yuelin is of course the person who knows the emperor's current situation best, Zheng Yuelin's eyes are red.

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen's eyes were also red, this time he fought with Jiannu, he didn't know why, maybe he was too excited, he actually felt very tired, he didn't go out in person once, but he felt very tired.

"Yuelin, do you know how much I miss you?" Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen gently stroked Zheng Yuelin's shoulders and back, and completely incorporated the beauty into his chest, at this moment, Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen felt that in this world, only himself and Zheng Yuelin were left, she understood herself, she knew herself completely.

Zheng Yuelin sighed slightly, but then smiled again, and kissed Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen's face, "Your Majesty, don't be anxious, the concubine feels that Hong Chengchou's decision is not completely unreasonable, and withdrawing at this time will indeed give Jiannu a chance to ease up, and the strength of sending troops is not enough, and confronting Jiannu on the periphery of Shenyang should be the best choice." ”

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen nodded, "However, this huge military expenditure is a big problem, Liaoyang City, almost nothing to replenish, although a small amount of Jiannu's food was supplied to the Imperial Forest Army, but most of the Jiannu sergeants burned the grain and grass, that Dolgon is really hateful, and he is really a military genius, he actually let each soldier keep his own grain and grass, instead of storing it uniformly, many of the dead soldiers of Jiannu saw that they could not resist the Ming Imperial Forest Army, so they simply burned their own grain and grass, and died with the Imperial Forest Army. ”

Zheng Yuelin smiled slightly, "As long as the grain and grass can be gathered, the concubine estimates." Another half a year. Shenyang will be broken. Did the emperor forget? You can issue treasury bonds to Jiangnan again, and when the Ming Dynasty was weak, you can gather a large amount of grain and grass, not to mention that this time you take Liaoyang City, the world is shaking, and the emperor's prestige is even more powerful. ”

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen was gloomy for a while, and said worriedly, "I have already thought about it. It's just that Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong haven't been arrested yet, although the peasant army said that there are only a few dozen people left, but there are not a few victims who have participated in the peasant army. ”

Zheng Yuelin frowned slightly, and there was no good plan, so she hugged Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen a little tighter, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, there will always be a way." Isn't the current situation worse than when Jiannu pressed on the Gyeongshi, and when the peasant army pressed near the Gyeonggi region? ”

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen listened to Zheng Yuelin's comfort. The mood was a little better, and he didn't want Zheng Yuelin to be too annoyed, so he smiled, "Yes, Daming is no longer the Daming of the past, as long as you survive this while, you will definitely get better!" I have already thought about it, and then issue the national bonds, and all the grain and grass collected will be transported to Liaodong, no matter what, I will settle the Jiannu first. ”

Zheng Yuelin didn't speak, although the emperor smiled, but she didn't feel good in her heart, in the heart of a woman, after all, human life is more important than the life of Jiannu, Zheng Yuelin thought that Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen would withdraw his troops first, and use the method of issuing treasury bonds to supply the victims of the disaster with the grain and grass collected to alleviate the disaster.

From the perspective of the entire war situation, the grain and grass collected by this national debt are actually used for the same thing, but from the perspective of people's kindness, there is a lot of difference, one is for killing people, the other is for saving people, and there is an essential difference between the two.

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen's worries were not unreasonable, and Zhang Xianzhong took action.

Zhang Xianzhong came out of the mountains, gathered thousands of remnants, killed Ruan Zhitian, the magistrate of Gucheng County, and supervised Zhang Dabao. Tear down the city walls, release prisoners, and loot the county treasury. Chen Hongfan's Ma Tingbao and Xu Qizuo, who were stationed in Gucheng, were coerced.

After that, Zhang Xianzhong attacked Fang County, and Hao Jingchun, the magistrate of the county, stubbornly held on, and sent more than a dozen people to ask for help, but there was no response. The garrison commander made Zhang Sanxi open the door and surrender, and Hao Jingchun and other soldiers and gentry were killed. Zhang Xianzhong rebelled, Luo Rucai and others followed and moved, at this time there was a great drought in the Central Plains, the people had no food, and the leaves and bark were all eaten.

The entire Central Plains was once again mired in war, and the Ming Imperial Forest Army was confronting Jiannu outside Shenyang with its main force.

Wherever Zhang Xianzhong's army went, a large number of people immediately followed, and it was better to starve to death.

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen urgently ordered Zuo Liangyu to lead more than 10,000 soldiers who stayed in the Central Plains to cooperate with Sun Chuanting to pursue Zhang Xianzhong's department.

The national strength of the Ming Dynasty has reached the end of the strong crossbow, Sun Chuanting and Zuo Liangyu are short of food, and they were ambushed again and defeated! Without the threat of these two armies, Zhang Xianzhong immediately became like a fish in water, crisscrossing Huguang and Henan provinces, and the situation in the entire Ming Dynasty took a sharp turn for the worse in an instant.

Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen was shocked, even if he had the best political literacy, he had to make him anxious, defeated the Jiannu army, won the good situation of Liaoyang City, and was instantly burned by the war in the Central Plains.

If it was the previous life, Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen would immediately let Hong Chengchou withdraw his troops to protect the Beijing Division, but this time, Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen did not do this, he disdained Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng, although Zhang Xianzhong's movements were big, but in the process of dealing with him for so many years, Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen actually knew very well that his biggest enemy was this Li Zicheng.

If Zhang Xianzhong is a jackal, then Li Zicheng is a poisonous snake, and Li Zicheng has only one goal, which is to take down the capital division and kill the emperor.

Li Zicheng was beaten by Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting, and the remaining dozens of people fled to Funiu Mountain, and their wives and concubines were scattered. But at this time, Li Zicheng raised an army again on the border of Shaanxi, and Li Zicheng, as the successor of King Chuang, was more appealing than Zhang Xianzhong, and suddenly regathered an army of 70,000 or 80,000.

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen is worried about not only Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, but also internal problems, the reason why Hong Chengchou led the army to the north and left Zuo Liangyu behind, is not that Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen knew that Zuo Liangyu had no problem, but the current situation, and there is no effort to deal with this beast.

For the internal generals, Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen's hatred for Zuo Liangyu is really no less than Wu Sangui, who surrendered to Jiannu in the original history!

Zuo Liangyu in the process of suppressing bandits, is one of the few soldiers in the Ming Dynasty who can fight generals, but many times in the case of being able to catch or kill Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, let the two run away alive, Zuo Liangyu did not dare to purge the anti-people in the Central Plains, in that case, he would lose the value of use, and at this time, the anti-people army in the Central Plains became bigger again, Zuo Liangyu was really afraid, afraid that the emperor would settle accounts with him after the autumn!

Zuo Liangyu's empty salary and bribery are not a big deal, the most important thing is that the discipline of his army is too poor, and it is worse than Cheng DΓΉ, who is about the same as a butcher, and Zuo Liangyu's army is a group of butchers.

It is common for thieves to cross the border and the people to be robbed, and it is not as simple as being robbed when Zuo Liangyu's troops cross the border. As far as scourge of the common people is concerned, the thieves are only lightweight, and Zuo Liangyu's army is heavyweight. At this time, in addition to Sun Chuanting's army, which was exhausted by 5,000 bullets, on the battlefield of the Central Plains, Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen only had more than 20,000 Zuo Liangyu's soldiers
