The Emperor of the Apocalypse had expected that the proud generals and gentry of Jinzhou might collude together to make some movements.

But they never expected that they would directly serve the guest army.

These guest troops, mainly the Sichuan army and the Zhejiang army, as well as the wolf soldiers in Guangxi, and a small number of border troops in Gansu, such people are actually old, weak, sick and disabled, and now they are gone.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse didn't expect that once these people attacked, they would be so vicious.

So he said, "What are they going to do, are they going to rebel?" Even the guest army was killed, could it be that my soldiers and horses went, and they would also kill them? ”

Zhang Jingyi looked at the Emperor of the Apocalypse with sympathetic eyes.

The answer is self-explanatory.

Why are you the emperor, don't you count it in your heart? Do you really think it's a child of heaven?

That's because it's in everyone's interest, and those people are with you.

Now that the interests are gone, you are still blocking other people's financial paths, you have to check accounts everywhere, and you have to investigate the faults, is this worth it?

Think about it, how were the so-called eunuchs who died without a place to be buried in the history of the Ming Dynasty were killed?

Let's just talk about Liu Jin, he also made a new deal, and the biggest content of this new deal is to popularize Jingcha!

The so-called Jingcha was originally checked once every three years to see if the officials were qualified, and those who were not qualified were dismissed, Liu Jin felt that these systems existed, but it seems that everyone is a formality, dozens or hundreds of years, and few officials have been deposed because of Jingcha.

He decided to shorten the life limit and move seriously, this time, the sky was angry and resentful, everyone and Liu Jin fought to the death, looking for Ming Wuzong, looking for the eunuchs in the palace who had a grudge against Liu Jin, and he didn't have me, so he ...... Liu Jin was Ling Chi.

After that, Ming Wuzong's death was also unclear and too strange.

Zhang Jingyi finally told the truth in his heart: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this matter is ...... It's really possible that these people are crazy and dare to do anything. ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse still knows how to introspect, and if you think about it carefully, it's true.

He was even more furious.

So he said angrily, "If they want to rebel, will the soldiers follow them?" ”

Zhang Jing felt that the Emperor of the Apocalypse was still innocent sometimes, so he said: "Your Majesty, I have always rebelled, I have never heard of it, I want to rebel, even Emperor Taizu Gao, he also proposed to expel the Tartars, Emperor Chengzu, and also fought Fengtian Jingjing, and ......"

"Don't say it." The Emperor of the Apocalypse had a face like a pig's liver.

Zhang Jing was speechless for a while, only blaming himself for knowing very little about other histories, and could only cite such a few old Zhu families.

So he continued: "Besides, Your Majesty, is there really an official army of the imperial court in Liaodong right now?" These officers and soldiers, but all of them are strong, which one is not the family and private slave of the Liao generals, and they share weal and woe with the Liao generals? They're all in the same group. ”

This is the truth, after the rise of Jiannu, it is simply a carnival for Liao generals.

First of all, the biggest benefit for the Liao generals is the privatization of officers and soldiers.

For example, Wu Xiang, the deputy general of Shanhaiguan who rebelled against his home and was raided, in history, this Wu Sangui's father became the chief soldier during the period of Emperor Chongzhen, and once Emperor Chongzhen asked Wu Xiang...... This is well documented.

To the effect, Emperor Chongzhen asked Wu Xiang, I will allocate funds to you according to the military salary of 150,000 people a year, and you have 100,000 troops now, right?

Wu Xiang was very direct and replied no.

Chongzhen's two goods asked again, there are no 100,000, there are always 50,000 people.

Wu Xiang replied, Your Majesty, in fact, I am only 3,000 family members, and the rest of the people are all old, weak, sick and disabled. However, these 3,000 people are treated as brothers, so please rest assured, your Majesty is all elite, all brave and good at fighting, Your Majesty does not have to worry about no one to help you kill the thief, just help me solve the problem of food and salary.

Of the 150,000 military salaries, Wu Xiang raised 3,000 families by himself, and the rest ...... Either it's a number in the roster, or it's miscellaneous.

And Wu Xiang's so-called brotherly gift is actually to transfer the household registration of these 3,000 people to his own family, and he Wu Xiang is a family.

This is also why, in history, the Jiannu people love to recruit Liao generals, and often give great courtesy, otherwise why would Wu Sangui be crowned king?

Is it really because Wu Sangui is a famous general who is not in the world? It's just that as long as Wu Sangui surrenders, he can immediately bring a team to the Jiannu people, and they are all raised by spending Emperor Chongzhen's military salary. As for the imperial court, what is the imperial court, and people take the benefits of the Wu family.

The so-called Liao generals are actually warlords of all sizes, Wu Xiang is like this, and others are even more so.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse showed a look of hatred on his face, and said angrily: "Didn't you let Yuan Chonghuan come to check the private soldiers at the beginning, why did you still come out now?" ”

Zhang Jingyi smiled bitterly: "I checked halfway, and there was a lot of commotion, and then I couldn't check it anymore." If you check again, all the towns in eastern Liaodong will go to the Jiannu people. ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse gritted his teeth and said: "It's really better to be a pig and a dog, I thought that if I checked it, this matter would be over!" Who would have thought that so much evidence was conclusive, and it could not be checked! It can be seen that these people ...... It's to the point of lawlessness, and I never take me seriously. ”

In fact, Zhang Jingyi knew about the affairs of Liaodong, Yuan Chonghuan did a very hard job, and indeed investigated and punished many people, many people were dismissed because of this, and there was also less chaos in the past, which was somewhat of an example.

But it is precisely because of the prevalence of private soldiers and family members that it is useless for you to dismiss other officials, and those family members immediately coerce the soldiers to make trouble, and the newly appointed military attaché can't control it at all.

The final result was a compromise, the boss of the Zhang family dismissed the officer, and let the second boss of the Zhang family take over an important position in the battalion, ostensibly to assist the general, but in fact, the general had long been hollowed out.

After the Emperor of the Apocalypse cursed, his eyes fell on the person who came to report the news.

Actually, it's okay for this person not to say, after all, he has been hiding in a dung pit for a few days. The problem is that he still spoke up, so that the Emperor of the Apocalypse felt sympathy for his plight, but he felt strange, as if his big tent had become less 'clean'.

However, he was still calm at this time, so he continued to ask: "How many people do they have?" ”

"I don't know this, there are many, although I don't dare to say that the cavalry in the city poured out, at least half of them came out, they don't seem to want to stay alive, not only someone rushed to kill, but there were also people on guard on the periphery, after killing, all the corpses were burned, and they hid in the ......."

"Well, I know where you're hiding." The Emperor of the Apocalypse glared at him and said, "Do you know who is the leader?" ”

"I don't know about that."

The Emperor of the Apocalypse said: "Don't worry, I will be the master for you, they will kill you, I will punish ten of them, you have a good rest, follow me, come to someone, take him to wash well, change him into new clothes, let him eat and drink enough, and take care of him." ”

The man sobbed again, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse is truly angry.

So much so that he dropped his face, was alone, locked himself in a big tent, and saw no one.

But the next day, before the hour came, he ordered to continue his march, and rode alone on his horse, and did not pay attention to anyone.

Zhang Jing wanted to go up several times to report the military situation, but the Emperor of the Apocalypse was just silent.

This is the first time Zhang Jingyi has seen the Emperor of the Apocalypse like this.

To be honest, being bullied to this point is that even ordinary people are afraid of getting annoyed.

Raising men for people, these people raising men, turning their heads and killing your people, and even plotting against you, is this what people do?

What's more, the Emperor of the Apocalypse is still the Son of Heaven.

For two days in a row, the Emperor of the Apocalypse was like this.

In the early morning of the third day, the Emperor of the Apocalypse actually came to wake Zhang Jingyi up in person.

"Get up."

Zhang Jingyi slept with a military coat, this Liaodong is in crisis everywhere, the ghost knows if there will be an enemy attack, when he saw the Emperor of the Apocalypse, he saw that the Emperor of the Apocalypse was obviously much haggard.

It's just that at this time, there was a strange look in his eyes, and then, the Emperor of the Apocalypse said, "I have figured it out." ”

Zhang Jing got up as soon as he got up and said, "What did Your Majesty understand?" ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse said in a deep voice without hurry: "What the Son of Heaven, what the ministers, are all deceitful nonsense, the reason why these people are still called ministers is not because they have any good intentions, but they are still counting on me to be in the pass and collect Liao salary for them!" ”

"Since I have been deceived on my head, how can I let them slaughter? Since it is impossible to investigate their lawlessness, then simply ...... I don't think I'm the Son of Heaven, they're not things, I'm not things better than them, they deceive me, and I let them know my means. ”

Zhang Jing felt that the Emperor of the Apocalypse was full of murderous aura at this time.

It's a ...... The breath of the King of the Mountain.

……

Yuan Chonghuan was already shackled at this time, not only that, but also with a flail.

The heavy wooden flail made it almost impossible for his neck to lift, so he could only curl up and hide in the corner of the cell.

At this time, he probably already understood something, he was not Man Gui after all, so he ...... Yuan Chonghuan was worried, he already had a premonition that something bad would happen.

At this moment, the door of the cell suddenly opened.

An old man walked into the dimly lit cell with his hands behind his back.

The old man sighed and said, "Yuan Gong, you have been wronged. ”

"You...... You ......" Yuan Chonghuan glared at the old man angrily and said, "You dare to be pretentious? Do you know what a sin this is? Don't...... Are you really hard-hearted? ”

The old man smiled and said, "What if the old man tells you that this edict is true?" ”

"What?"

Yuan Chonghuan was stunned.

"There is no real edict, do you think that everyone in Jinzhou City is really willing to do this? Yuan Gong, everyone is a smart person, do you think that a cautious person like the old man would be so bold? ”

Yuan Chonghuan shuddered, his face as pale as paper.
