PS: I sent the wrong chapter yesterday, and it has been corrected.

The news that Chongzhen completely annihilated the enemy army, shelled Zuo Mengeng, and captured Azig alive shocked the hearts of every Ming official and set off boundless remarks.

Someone likes:

"In the face of Azig's 100,000 army, the emperor and the fire dragon army are immovable! The Emperor's spirit is terrifying!"

"It's a battle, and the eastern side of Dongsheng Mountain has become a corpse ridge, and blood is flowing like a river. I'm mighty in the Ming Jingying!"

"There were heavy casualties among the Jianlu, and 100,000 corpses were scattered in the mountain pass. It's a great pleasure."

"The emperor's 5,000 men fought against 100,000 enemy troops, without a single casualty, and completely annihilated the enemy army! With such a military strategy, Da Ming no longer worries about the enemy coming."

"The last prince of Jianyu, Azig, has been captured alive! The Jianyu has finally been wiped out."

Someone Miao:

"The dignified emperor, he actually wanders around like a general, and he is out of character, is this to learn from the Martial Sect?"

"The emperor is conceited! It is really not right to ignore the country, to ignore the Tao, and to put yourself in the most dangerous place!"

"Today, it is not a blessing for the country to be reckless in military force, skillfully plundering, brutalizing Jiangnan civil officials and bachelors, and reusing military generals."

"With this battle, the emperor will definitely favor the people who are skillful and skillful, hey...... The way of the saints will continue to be suppressed!"

"What a great achievement, the reckless military is for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty! I see the future of ten rooms and nine empty rooms......

Up and down the Ming Dynasty, everyone is discussing, one news after another, debated again and again, with mixed reviews and different opinions.

Chongzhen clearly knew the gossip, and he was angry in his heart, but he didn't participate in it.

He ordered Jinyiwei and Dongchang to collect speeches, but did not take action to rectify them, but silently made a statistical table, dividing officials and celebrities into diehards, conservatives and enlightened people according to their speeches, so as to prepare an important reference for appointing officials in the future.

Diehards, try not to reuse it as much as possible, or even abandon it. However, they cannot be completely eliminated, and they are still very useful for preserving cultural traditions, resisting and integrating foreign cultures.

If necessary, they can also be sent to Fanbang to stabilize the situation and assimilate foreign nations.

Conservatives can be sent to the border territories to educate foreigners and assimilate them into Ming nationals. At the same time, a part of it was retained in the court and as the mainstay of Confucianism and the town of Cangshi to prevent foreign religions from subverting Chinese civilization.

The enlightened faction arranged to serve as chief officials in various places in order to implement the new policy and develop new industries.

……

Dongsheng Mountain, there are countless corpses, and in the increasingly heated weather, the smell of corpses soon emitted.

Chongzhen was worried about the plague and immediately ordered it to be dealt with.

Hu Guozhu instructed his soldiers to clean up the corpses, pour tung oil, throw wood on them, and begin to burn them. Hundreds of pillars of black smoke rose around the pass, reaching into the sky.

The stench from the burning of the corpses wafted out for dozens of miles, and the villagers covered their mouths and noses one after another, and some even left their hometowns with their families and went to distant relatives' homes for temporary refuge.

The fire of the cremation lasted for several days, but it still could not be burned, and the corpses were piled up too thick to be burned through, and the temperature was getting hotter and hotter, and the possibility of plague was increasing.

There was no way, in order to ensure safety and prevent a major epidemic, the Flying Dragon Army began to disperse the surrounding villagers and cleared out the no-man's land within a radius of dozens of miles.

At this point, Dongsheng Mountain became a forbidden place.

Chongzhen also took the lead in leaving with King Ding, continued to go south, and visited Huangshan.

The people not only saw the black smoke that lingered all day long, but only smelled the disgusting stench of burning corpses, and heard the howl of wild wolves in the night.

Dongsheng Mountain is stinking during the day, the fire is majestic, and the wind gusts and ghost fires appear from time to time at night.

The people did not dare to come near.

After all, there are 100,000 corpses there, everyone knows it, and ghosts cry wolves and demons are rampant in the mountains.

Not long after, a more mysterious secret came out:

Legend has it that in order to deal with a strong enemy, Emperor Chongzhen set up an altar, burned the holy decree, and ordered the evil ghosts from all over the world to come to protect him.

After the Fa was completed, dark clouds covered the sky over Dongsheng Mountain, blocking all the sunlight, and 100,000 ghost soldiers and ghosts would emerge from the ground, and they would bring Azig together in just one morning

The left battalion was slaughtered with flesh and blood.

It is precisely because of this that there are so many dark big pits in Dongsheng Mountain Pass!

Since then, the name of Dongsheng Mountain in the folk has been changed to Devil Ridge, and ordinary people dare not go there.

In the face of mysterious and mysterious rumors, officials and generals everywhere did not believe it.

They tried their best to find out, but there was still not much credible information.

The more unknown, the more fearful.

The generals of the left battalion surrendered one after another, for fear of being one step behind and being liquidated by Chongzhen.

Chongzhen was not too harsh, and directly issued a holy decree, "The left battalion takes Jin Shenghuan, Ma Shixiu, and Hao Xiaozhong as the leading command group, and takes Hui Dengxiang, Wang Rucheng, Li Guoying and other generals, with 700,000 soldiers and horses of the left battalion, to send troops to Sichuan, exterminate Sun Kewang, and atone for his crimes!"

The generals of the left battalion were all overjoyed, and they no longer dared to steal women to play slippery, and they regrouped their troops in Jiujiang and went down the Yangtze River.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that a marshal should be sent to control it, and it is even more necessary to prevent the rebellion of the left camp and prevent them from establishing themselves as kings? It is also necessary to prevent them from going further west, and from now on they are out of the control of the Ming Dynasty!" There are ministers' comments.

"Hmph, the generals of the left battalion disagree with each other, who will be the king? As for the mutiny, to whom do you turn to it?" Chongzhen disagreed.

"As for fleeing to the West, haha, that's great. In the plateau of Uszang, what is most lacking is population!"

……

In Jiangxi, Li Guo, who was held back, heard the information and shouted angrily, "Bluff! I don't believe it! It must have been the Ming army working together to strangle Azig!"

Li Guo expected that countless Ming troops had gathered in Huizhou, and he did not dare to go, so he fled with the army at night and marched in the direction of Guizhou and Guangxi.

Officials from all over Jiangnan looked at the imperial court Tang newspaper, but they didn't believe their eyes, and read the text over and over again.

"A new type of firearm? Makqin? What the hell is this?"

The officials were puzzled, only knowing that Makqin was extremely powerful and could kill 100,000 enemy soldiers, and as for how to kill them, they could only rely on guessing.

"The emperor is really a very human!"

……

Fuzhou.

Longwu and the Zheng family were first shocked by Chongzhen's pacification of Liaodong, and they just eased up.

A few days ago, I received new news from Chongzhen's southern expedition.

Now he has not recovered from the shock of Chongzhen's rapid takeover of Nanjing and other places, and he was stunned by Chongzhen's annihilation of Azig's 100,000 army.

Emperor Longwu was uncertain: "Since Emperor Chongzhen is not dead, I think it is better to submit to it."

Zheng Hongkui naturally refused: "Your Majesty, have you forgotten that when you led the army to serve the king, you were under house arrest by Chongzhen for more than ten years. You've ascended the throne this time, can Chongzhen spare you?"

"However, Zhu Yousong was not killed......

"Killed? House arrest for life is comparable to Ling Chi!"

Long Wu thought of the dark ten years, and his heart was bitter, "Let's prepare for war!"

Zheng Zhilong didn't say a word, he completely believed his son's words, although he was also afraid of Chongzhen's reprimand, but with Zheng Sen here, he should not be executed.
