Chapter 53: Winning People's Hearts

"Hooray!"

"Hooray!"

Lu Jiude ran quickly towards the Yiding camp.

Behind Lu Jiude, he followed Gao Qidive.

Gao Qiqian fell behind Lu Jiude because he received twenty lashes last time, and his hip injury did not heal and affected his legs and feet, otherwise it would never have been possible for Lu Jiude to take the lead in front of him.

By the way, Wang Chengen and Han Zanzhou have been sent by Chongzhen to Fengyang Mansion to assist Huang Degong in dealing with Liu Liangzuo, and now only Lu Jiude and Gao Qiqian are following Chongzhen.

There were also a few little eunuchs of the Nanjing Garrison Bureau.

"Stop!" Two Yiding horizontal knives stopped the two of them.

"Long live the lord, our family wants to see the long live lord." Lu Jiude was so anxious that he was about to jump to his feet.

But the two Yiding didn't pay attention to it, and just put their scimitars on the necks of Lu Jiude and Gao Qiqian, preventing the two from entering the military camp behind them.

At this moment, a general walked over.

But he is one of the top ten Mongolian loyal and brave men in Chongzhen, Ba Hanzhen.

"Who?" Ba Hanzhen said coldly, "Dare to disturb the Holy Driver? ”

"Lord Ba, it's our family." Gao Qiqian preemptively said, "Our family has an urgent matter to see Long Live Lord." ”

At this moment, Chongzhen's voice came from inside a tent: "Ba Hanzhen, let them in." ”

Ba Hanzhen snorted and turned around to enter the tent, and when Gao Qiqian and Lu Jiude came in, Ba Hanzhen had already led a team of Yiding to guard behind Chongzhen.

Chongzhen asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Lu Jiude and Gao Qiqian said at the same time: "There was a mutiny on Liu Lingtai's side, and Wang Zuntan, Ma Huabao, Zhang Guozhu and other generals tied up Liu Zeqing and were waiting outside the camp gate. ”

"Oh yes?" Chongzhen was really a little surprised at this time.

He thought that he would definitely be able to divide Liu Zeqing's soldiers and horses in the end, but he didn't expect that Liu Zeqing had already been arrested by his subordinates before he could make a move.

Laughing, Chongzhen said, "Call them in." ”

Gao Qiqian responded to the order and limped away, but Lu Jiude didn't move.

When Gao Qi sneaked away, Lu Jiude said flatteringly: "Long live Lord, let the old slave stay in front of the palace and wait." ”

After Gao Qiqian came out outside Yangzhou City, Chongzhen set up a rule that only Yiding was allowed to guard at night, and eunuchs were not allowed to stay in front of him, except for Wang Chengen.

And Chongzhen didn't set up a fixed camp for himself.

Only when they are about to rest, they will randomly enter the camp of a certain Yiding hundred.

After entering the camp, one of the dozen tents was randomly selected to stay.

For example, last night, Chongzhen stayed in a tent in Bahanzhen's hundred households.

Chongzhen's move seems to be just a temporary intention, but it actually implies a deep meaning, and it also has two layers of deep meaning.

The first intention is to follow Zhu Yuanzhang's example to win people's hearts, completely subdue the more than 1,000 Yiding of Wujiao Tan and Mengke Rabbit, and make them his most loyal lackeys.

In fact, Chongzhen has been doing this before.

The effect is also quite good, this Qianyiding has become a loyal lackey!

[Note: After Zhu Yuanzhang forced the Yuan Dynasty general Chen Zhaoxian's 50,000 troops, he selected 500 elite soldiers from them, and Chen Zhaoxian led them to serve as his guards.

The second layer is intended to prevent assassination, to prevent the assassins of Jiannu or the Dashun army, and to prevent the civilian group.

Whether you believe it or not, there are indeed a lot of strange things in the Ming Dynasty, such as the bizarre death of Emperor Zhengde and Emperor Tianqi, and the fact that Emperor Jiajing was almost strangled to death by the palace maid, and for example, the madman Zhang Cha was able to break into the forbidden palace with only a jujube stick, and almost beat the prince Zhu Changluo to death, but he didn't really kill him.

Throughout the twenty-four dynasties, only the Ming Dynasty had such a strange thing.

There are conspiracy theories that these strange incidents are behind the civilian clique.

From the perspective of criminology, the civil official group does have the motive to do these things, because the Zhengde Emperor and the Emperor of the Apocalypse have one thing in common, they both have to collect commercial taxes through eunuchs, that is, eunuchs, and the commercial tax is the reverse scale of the civil official group, so the civil official group has the motive to kill the Zhengde Emperor and the Emperor of the Apocalypse.

As for the attack case, some analysts say that it is a bitter meat plan.

No one can tell what the truth is.

But this kind of thing is better to believe in what it is than to believe in it.

Because of one carelessness, it is his own life that is lost.

So Chongzhen did not hesitate to transfer the eunuch from the couch.

Although the eunuch was the emperor's domestic slave, he was not necessarily reliable.

Because eunuchs will also have relatives, and they may also be manipulated.

Only these Yiding are all from Liaoxi, they are innocent, and they cannot have any interests with the civilian clique, and these Yiding stay in the army all the year round and do not have contact with the outside world.

Therefore, it is difficult for the civilian clique to find an opportunity to buy it.

Finally, Chongzhen does not have a fixed tent.

He chose a tent at random and mixed it with Yiding.

This virtually eliminated the possibility of assassination, as no one could predict where he would live.

There are hundreds of tents in a thousand, and the Assassins can't find them one tent at a time.

Some people will say, you can't live in the barracks all the time, you have to go back to the palace in the future, right? I will definitely have to go back to the palace in the future, and the guards at that time will say that it is better to do the current thing first.

These thoughts, Gao Qiqian and Lu Jiude don't know, only Wang Chengen knows.

Lu Jiude glanced at Ba Hanzhen and Yi Ding in the tent, and then said: "Lord Ba, they are all martial artists, where can they do the work of serving people, so we have to serve as domestic slaves." ”

Chongzhen smiled and suddenly asked: "Lu Banban, I heard that Shi Kefa originally wanted to establish King Lu as the prison country, but you found Huang Degong, Liu Liangzuo and Gao Jie to push King Fu up?" ”

"Hooray!" Lu Jiude was so frightened that he knelt on the ground with a puff.

Five days passed, and Lu Jiude originally thought that the matter was over.

But I didn't expect that Long Live Lord chose to suddenly make trouble at this time.

Chongzhen snorted lightly, and said, "Lu Banbian, you are wrong, I am just the emperor." ”

"Long live the old slave, the old slave is guilty of death!" Lu Jiude was already frightened like chaff, and kowtowed again and again, "The old slave is guilty of death!" ”

At this moment, Gao Qi sneaked into the tent and reported: "Long live Lord, Wang Zuntan and they have taken Liu Zeqing to the station." ”

Chongzhen threw down Lu Jiude, who was kowtowing like pounding garlic, lifted the curtain and went out of the tent, only to see a middle-aged military general wearing mountain armor kneeling outside the camp gate with his hands tied behind his back, and ten generals kneeling in two rows behind this person.

With the help of memory, Chongzhen quickly recognized the military general in front of him, Liu Zeqing.

Because Liu Zeqing has knocked on the face of the saint several times, Chongzhen has stayed in Beijing for nine years.

Seeing Chongzhen, Wang Zuntan, who was kneeling behind, and others brushed and saluted: "The ministers knock to see the saint." ”

Liu Zeqing was also very embarrassed to grab the ground with his head, and shouted in his mouth: "Minister Liu Zeqing knocked on the saint." ”

"Liu Zeqing, I waited for a few of you in Beijing, but I waited so hard." Chongzhen sighed and said, "It's a pity that until the thieves entered the Jingshi, they didn't expect a few of you to come." ”

"Besides, you're too bold to be a little bold."

"I actually killed Han Ruyu in the middle of the military department."

"Han Ruyu is a messenger who was ordered to go to Jiangsu and Zhejiang to supervise the salary."

"Even Qin Cha dares to kill, do you still have me in Liu Zeqing's eyes?"

"It's okay to kill Qincha, you still dare to burn and kill and loot!"

"You are the chief soldier of the Ming Dynasty, but you actually plagued the people!"

"The crime of capital punishment." Liu Zeqing exchanged with tears in his eyes, "The crime deserves death." ”

Chongzhen said: "Liu Zeqing, listen, I will not kill civil ministers and military generals for no reason, let alone kill the heroes who have made great contributions to the country, but the crimes committed by you, Liu Liangzuo and Gao Jie are difficult to redeem with a hundred deaths, and I cannot protect you, and I am not qualified to forgive you on behalf of the people who died in vain." ”

Chongzhen's words were actually said to Wang Zuntan and Zhang Guozhu.

Including the wife and children who let Gao Jie go before, they were also shown to Li Chengdong and Hu Maozhen.

Chongzhen just wants to use practical actions to tell Li Chengdong that these generals will not kill people casually, let alone engage in unlimited melon and vine copying, plant lian, Gao Jie, Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo are innocent of death, as long as you don't learn from them to resist the decree and disobey the people, and harm the people, then I can only be of great use to you.

Sure enough, after hearing Chongzhen's words,

The expressions of Wang Zuntan, Zhang Guozhu and others relaxed significantly.

It seems that the Holy One is still acting in moderation and will not expand indefinitely.

After Chongzhen finished speaking, he waved his hand, and Ba Hanzhen stepped forward and cut off Liu Zeqing's head with only one knife.

Seeing Liu Zeqing's headless corpse fall in front of him, Wang Zuntan and the others couldn't help but look awkward.

Gao Qiqian whispered the name of the person, and Chongzhen said: "Wang Zuntan, Zheng Longfang, Yao Wenchang, Ma Huabao, Bai Yongfu, Yu Shaoxun, Zhang Shiyi, Gao Jinzhong, Huang Zhongse, Zhang Guozhu, listen, I now entitle you as the chief military officer of Xuzhou, and go back to Xuzhou with me after reorganizing the soldiers and horses." ”

"Commandment!" Wang Zuntan and the others promised to brush the brush.

It was only at this time that Wang Zuntan's hanging heart fell to the ground.

Sent away Wang Zuntan and other ten general soldiers, and Chongzhen returned to the tent.

found that Lu Jiude was still kneeling in the tent and kept kowtowing, and his forehead was broken.

"Alright, don't knock." Chongzhen said coldly, "When people see it, they think I abuse domestic slaves." ”

"Long live the old slave, the old slave knows that he is wrong, and the old slave really knows that he is wrong." Lu Jiude cried bitterly and said, "You just spare the life of the old slave, long live the old slave." ”

Chongzhen said in his heart, it is absolutely impossible to spare you if he spares you.

But keeping your dog's life alive can also come in handy.

After all, these house slaves did not have the threat of Gao Jie and Liu Zeqing, so they kept them first.

At that moment, Chongzhen said: "I will spare your life, but you listen well, your dog's life is mine, and I can take it whenever I want." ”

"Long live you, long live you."

Lu Jiudeton cried with joy, and said in his heart that his life had been saved.

Gao Qiqian gloated and said: "In the future, I will talk and do things more often." ”

Chongzhen turned his head again and said to Ba Hanzhen: "Spread my will, the whole army will immediately pull out the camp, and as soon as Wang Zuntan and other general soldiers of the ten towns arrive, they will immediately go north to Xuzhou along the Yellow River." ”
