The crowd was excited, and the scene seemed to be that not killing Li Chaosheng, the magistrate of Lantian County, was really not enough to make the people angry.

The officials present were also sincere, why didn't Lao Tzu take a bite of such a big piece of fat in Lantian.

Why can't our officials intervene in the officialdom in Lantian, and why can the magistrate of Lantian not offer to our officials.

Lantian produces goods, why can't the caravans we support buy at a low price in Lantian and sell at a high price elsewhere, why can't you splash Lantian oil and water, why?

If you Lantian don't let us go deep into the force, and if you don't let us get rich from your Lantian is a crime or a rebellion, we will impeach you, we will kill you, and change an obedient person to become a county magistrate, so as not to delay us from getting rich.

This is the idea of the princes of the imperial court, including Yang Sichang.

If Emperor Chongzhen hadn't seen Li Chaosheng's performance before going to the court, he would have been burned by the ministers at this time, maybe his head would have slapped the table and shouted: "This is a thief, and he will kill this official for me." ”

Then, there will be no then, it is estimated that Lantian County will be a little laborious at first, and the people of Lantian will also suffer a little crime, but as long as Li Chaosheng reacts, then the Ming Dynasty will definitely not be able to support it, Li Zicheng and a group of farmers can beat the Ming Dynasty to pieces, not to mention Li Chaosheng's all-firearms troops, presumably it was not Li Zicheng who forced Chongzhen to hang himself at that time, but Li Chaosheng.

I don't know if Chongzhen would remember the decision he made today in the court without a long brain.

Declaring war on Lantian is what you think, but sometimes this is not something that Chongzhen can control.

But this morning's twist and turn saved Chongzhen, Chongzhen looked at the excited ministers below and shouted: "Enough! ”

The ministers looked at Chongzhen in a daze, Yang Sichang keenly noticed that something was wrong with this emperor, and immediately shut up, But there are still people who are still talking about Li Chaosheng's crimes, which is really hard to write, as if Li Chaosheng dug Chongzhen's ancestral grave, and not killing is not enough to make the people angry.

Chongzhen watched these people perform coldly, and slowly someone found that something was wrong, and then began to die down one by one, and said silently, Chongzhen looked at the ministers below and said: "Why don't you quarrel, why don't you argue, why don't you shout to kill the rebellious Li Chaosheng, aren't you very loyal and brave?" If you are so loyal and brave, why don't you go to put down the rebellion! ”

Chongzhen's voice was as cold as snow in December, and everyone was silent, this emperor is so murderous, everyone knows it.

Yang Sichang glanced at Chongzhen, as if he had understood something in his heart, and said nothing, and at this time Chongzhen said: "One by one, the people who claim to be loyal and brave, why don't you see you fighting hard with the Tartars, today you will only attack your colleagues in the court, can I not know if Li Chaosheng is a traitor?" ”

"Now Zhang Xianzhong, who excavates the grave of my ancestors, you don't crusade, you don't crusade against Li Zicheng in Shanxi, and Gao Yingxiang, who is entrenched in northern Shaanxi, you don't crusade, and now the spearhead is on the Lantian County Order, he Li Chaosheng is not a thing, he also knows to pay taxes to me on time and on time, what about you, what about you~"

Chongzhen was furious, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty did not dare to speak out, looking at the people around him, Yang Sichang keenly grasped Chongzhen's thoughts, and immediately shouted: "Your Majesty, the minister is confused, please ask Your Majesty to surrender." ”

Chongzhen glanced at Yang Sichang and said, "What is Yang Qing's crime?" ”

Yang Sichang shouted at this time: "Your Majesty, the minister misjudged the situation for a while, the current situation should first pacify the rebels, Lantian is a heavy tax burden of the state, how can it be lightly moved, although Li Chaosheng's county order has many places that do not conform to the laws of the imperial court, but thinking of his conscientious payment of taxes for the imperial court, it should be understood, the minister thinks that the top priority is to eliminate the rebellion, and everything should be eliminated The main thing is to eliminate the rebels." ”

Hearing this, Chongzhen nodded and said: "Well, Yang Qing's words are reasonable, and the intention is: Lu Xiangsheng has a merit in killing the thief, and the merit is in Sheji, and he will continue to serve as the governor of Xuanfu Datong, and he will immediately send troops into Shaanxi, and Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting will form a siege to eliminate the thief Gao Yingxiang." ”

"Obey."

Hearing this, someone immediately responded and wrote the edict, and after listening to Emperor Chongzhen's words, Yang Sichang's eyes gradually deepened, and some old foxes in the court also heard what Chongzhen meant.

Lu Xiangsheng was promoted to the rank of prince and young master, which looks like a big reward, after all, the prince and young master are the second rank of the master, higher than many people in the imperial court, but it should be noted that this prince and young master is a false position and has a great reputation, but he has no rights, he just shouts good, and Lu Xiangsheng has made such a great achievement, according to the correct operation, at least the rights should be expanded.

But now no, just a prince and young master sent away, what do you mean, the emperor actually still minds Lu Xiangsheng and Li Chaosheng getting together, but now all kinds of reasons add up so that the court can't make any punitive measures against Lu Xiangsheng, so he gave the prince and young master a vain head.

As for Li Chaosheng, Chongzhen's tooth root will not be mentioned, when there is no such person, this is also helpless, now this situation, the courtiers also understand it, Chongzhen is now using Lu Xiangsheng and Li Chaosheng, and when they can't use it in the future, they will have a chance.

Thinking of this, the ministers knew what to do, and at this time, they all bowed their hands: "Your Majesty Shengming." ”

Chongzhen looked at the princes of the court and waved his hand, and then Wang Chengen said: "Retreat ...... court"

Drinking to quench thirst, Emperor Chongzhen doesn't know that he is drinking to quench his thirst, but there is no way, now move Lantian County, the imperial court will collapse immediately, and slow down, the imperial court can still hold on for a while, and maybe the situation will improve during this time?

Chongzhen looked at the sky, how could there be so many evildoers in the world, is it because I haven't done a good enough job?

Naturalization City.

Li Chaosheng took Shi Dalei to stand at the gate of the city and said to Li Chaohu, who saw him off, and the officials of Naturalization City: "Okay, everyone, the work of Naturalization City will be handed over to you, I hope you must guard Naturalization City for Lantian with your heart." ”

Hearing this, Li Chaohu saluted and said: "Rest assured, commander, we will defend the Naturalization City to the death and never let anyone touch the Naturalization City." ”

Li Chaosheng nodded and said, "Okay, cousin, I'm lucky." ”

Li Chaohu nodded without saying a word, Li Chaosheng looked at Wang Jiayao again and said: "Jiayao, the livelihood work of Guihua City is also very important, and I will hand over the 180,000 people to you." ”

"The county respects rest assured, dare not to die."

Wang Jiayao assured, Li Chaosheng looked at the militia captain again, and said to Zhang Tengfei, who is now called the police captain: "I will hand over the security of Naturalization City to you, your burden is not small, although the Tartars do not dare to attack the idea of Naturalization City, but all forces will definitely not give up the infiltration of Naturalization City, especially Naturalization City will soon become the commercial center of this area, and the situation will be more complicated at that time, you have to be careful." ”

"Guaranteed to get the job done."

Zhang Tengfei saluted, and Li Chaosheng smiled: "I am optimistic about you." ”

"Okay guys, Naturalization City, please."

Li Chaosheng arched his hand to everyone, and then everyone said in unison: "Congratulations to the county zun (army commander) county zun for a smooth journey." ”

When Li Chaosheng heard this, he rode on his fire dragon horse, followed by the protection of the army, and rushed to Lantian and went home.

Dolgon left with his troops five days ago, and it won't work if he doesn't leave, there is no military rations, Li Chaohu and others still want to pursue, but Li Chaosheng gave up, the purpose of the war has been achieved, Guihua City has been occupied, there is no need to let more people lose their lives on the grassland, Li Chaosheng wants to take more people home.

In Li Chaosheng's place, any human life is precious, maybe now the probability of Lantian soldiers and Tartars exchanging lives is one to five, and with the development of science and technology in the future, Li Chaosheng is confident that it can be one to ten, or even more.

So it's not worth trading with the Tartars now.

Li Chaosheng left Naturalization City and returned to Lantian County, next he has to seriously study the situation in the world, and now he has been forced to stand in front of the imperial court, then he will face countless conspiracies and tricks, but Li Chaosheng doesn't care, because no matter how many conspiracies and tricks are in front of absolute strength, it is scum.

When the army came home, everyone was in a very good mood, and the children who left home were always homesick.

The army soon came to Zhangjiakou, and when he arrived here, Li Chaosheng saw the ruined city that was burned to the ground, and the tenant farmers who were looking for things to use on the ruins, the tenant farmers began to be very scared when they saw the army, but when they learned that it was the Lantian army, they were not so afraid, Li Chaosheng found a tenant farmer to inquire about the situation, and the tenant farmer said: "The last time the Tartars entered Zhangjiakou, they killed a lot of tenant farmers, and also burned down the homes of many tenant farmers, many of the tenant farmers hid in the mountains, and there were some large households connected to the government, It is said that the land allocated by these tenant farmers was obtained from the hands of thieves and was not clean, so much of the land was taken away by the large joint government. ”

When Li Chaosheng heard this, he looked at Gu Zi and said: "Take 200 people to meet the local magistrate, and say that they dare to be greedy for ink on the land that Lao Tzu shared with the tenant farmers, and they don't know how to write the dead words, so let them quickly return the land to the tenant farmers." ”

"Yes."

Gu Zi went quickly, and the magistrate saw such a terrifying army, and when he learned that it was the Lantian Army of the Naturalized City, he immediately succumbed, and then found someone to return the land deed, and soon the tenant farmers had land again, and at the same time they were grateful to Li Chaosheng and Dade to the Lantian Army.

Li Chaosheng didn't stay here for long, he divided the land again and left, and on the way, Gu Zi looked at Li Chaosheng and said, "County Zun, do you say that these tenant farmers can keep their land?" ”

Li Chaosheng smiled when he heard this: "What do you think? ”

Gu Zi said: "Impossible. ”

Li Chaosheng said: "I don't think it's possible. ”

"And you give them back the land?"

Li Chaosheng said with a smile: "I'm telling them a truth, when the Lantian Army comes, they have their own land, and the army will protect them, but when the Lantian Army is gone, they will have no land, so they will miss us very much during the period when we don't rule here, and when we have the intention of ruling here, they will welcome us, and we can not only harvest the land, but also the hearts of the people." ”

Hearing this, Gu Zi said: "This is too troublesome, our Lantian army can take Zhangjiakou now and dominate here." ”

Li Chaosheng smiled when he heard this: "Haha...... Guzi, remember one sentence, don't be superstitious about the army, the army can take down a place, but it is difficult to rule a place, if you want to rule a place, you still need the people's heart! ”

……

"Welcome home!"

The news that Li Chaosheng's army was going back to Lantian was soon spread, and as soon as Li Chaosheng passed through Tongguan, he saw Li Chaolong, Guo Bao, Zuo Sansi and others who stayed in Lantian and led a group of people to hold a grand ceremony outside Tongguan.

Li Chaosheng looked at these people he hadn't seen for a long time and smiled: "It's not good to work in Lantian, what are you waiting for me to do here, one by one, you can shoot a good horse." ”

Hearing this, Guo Bao said: "County Zun, you have wronged me, I came here to measure the land outside Tongguan, our Lantian County boundary has been moved to this vicinity yesterday, as the administrator of the county government, I want to measure every inch of land in Lantian." ”

Li Chaosheng looked at Guo Bao and hadn't opened his mouth at this time, Li Chaolong and Li Dezhen were humane: "Commander, this Tongguan is the gateway to Guanzhong, and we will definitely occupy Lantian here, so I and Dezhen will take a look nearby, and study where the Tongguan camp will be located in the future, my reason is reasonable." ”

Li Chaosheng didn't say anything when he heard this, and then Zuo Sansi spoke: "I am the first secretary of the county, and it is necessary for me to inform the county of the recent situation in Lantian as soon as possible, so it is reasonable for me to be here now." ”

Zuo Sansi said with a smile, at this time Li Chaosheng looked back and saw that there were still many students from Lantian Academy, led by Xu Xiake, who loves travel, led the team to greet him, Li Chaosheng looked at Xu Xiake, Xu Xiake smiled and said: "The county lord doesn't want to see me, I brought the students here to collect style, just in time for the county to come back, are you right?" ”

The students said in unison, "That's right. ”

Li Chaosheng looked at the faces that he didn't want to admit it, and couldn't help but smile: "Okay, thank you for your welcome, I received my heart, but I'm very hungry now, I want to eat our Lantian oily noodles, pork stewed noodles, and carp in our big reservoir, I don't know if you can be satisfied?" ”

Hearing this, a group of people laughed and said, "It's all ready, the county is in the camp in front." ”

Li Chaosheng heard this and looked at everyone: "What about the other soldiers? ”

Hearing this, Li Chaolong said: "There are all, they all, the noodles are enough, two people have one fish, three people have a pot of meat." ”

"Oh!"

Hearing this, everyone immediately shouted happily together, away from home for so long, I just miss this mouthful, and everyone can't wait to think of this.

Soon the army arrived at the nearby barracks, and then the barracks set up a cauldron, and the pot stewed was Lantian famous dish pork stewed vermicelli, which used to be a famous dish in the Northeast, and now it has become Lantian's signature dish, for no other reason, Lantian is rich in vermicelli.

"Come on, eat, congratulations on the victory of the county honorable flag, cheers everyone."

Guo Bao raised his glass to everyone, but Li Chaosheng said at this time: "You girl, wait for me to eat meat and drink, I don't have the eyesight to see it." ”

"Haha~"

Everyone laughed when they heard this, and the atmosphere was extremely harmonious, this is what it feels like to go home.
