"The Holy One has also arrived at Pingyiwei?" Mu Tianbo was taken aback when he heard this.

"Don't you know?" Ding Kuichu was also a little surprised, he originally thought that Chongzhen must have also given Mu Tianbo a secret edict, otherwise how could Mu Tianbo's army be so clever and return to Kunming?

But in fact, this is completely the judgment of Yang Weizhi, the deputy envoy of Jincang Dao.

"I don't know if this is true." Mu Tianbo really didn't know that Chongzhen actually drove the expedition in person, and thought that a certain important minister of the court led a large army to conquer Yunnan, and then said, "In this case, this duke will also go." ”

Ding Kuichu just smiled when he heard this, and said in his heart that it was useless to go together, you can't snatch this battle exploit.

At that moment, Mu Tianbo sent another family member back to inform Yu Zhonglin, and asked Yu Zhonglin to directly send the cattle, mutton, wine and meat to the eighteen villages in Guangxi Prefecture, so that he would not have to run back.

Mu Tianbo said without words: "Ding Butang, this prince hasn't thanked you for retaking Lin'an Mansion, if you hadn't taken the Guangxi wolf soldiers to capture Lin'an Mansion and cut off Sha Rebellion's retreat, it would definitely be much more difficult to pacify the change in Sha Dingzhou than now, but now, the defeat of Sha Dingzhou is already a certainty." ”

"Hey, the official didn't dare to take credit for this matter." Ding Kuichu was proud, but on the surface he said modestly, "This matter all depends on the planning of the Holy Lord, not to mention that if it weren't for the Holy Army's army to attract the main force of the rebel army of Shadingzhou to Pingyiwei, I am afraid that it will not be so easy for this official to take Lin'an Mansion." ”

"In any case, Ding Butang is the first credit this time." Mu Tianbo rammed two idle sentences, and finally cut to the point, "After Ding Butang captured the old village of Gelong in Shadingzhou, did he ever search for goods from it?" ”

"Goods? Yes, of course. Ding Kuichu said, "There are a lot of goods, it's just a mountain of goods." ”

Mu Tianbo said: "It's not a secret, the treasures that Sha Dingzhou collected in the old village of Gelong were all snatched from the treasury of this duke, including more than 10,000 boxes of fine and soft baskets, more than 8 million taels of silver, and countless treasures such as silk, Songjiang cloth, Shu brocade, ginseng, etc., I don't know if Ding Butang has counted the number of goods?" ”

"The number is wrong." Ding Kuichu's brows furrowed, "There is no gold in the sand thief's Gelong village, and the silver is only more than 100,000 taels, but there are quite a lot of Songjiang cloth, silk and ginseng, but they have not been counted. ”

"Huh?" Mu Tianbo's face fell suddenly, "There is no gold and softness, and the silver is only more than 100,000?" ”

"Yes, just a hundred thousand taels of silver." Ding Kuichu said seriously, "I didn't find any gold and softness. ”

"But, but ......," Mu Tianbo said with a dark face, "Shadingzhou, this thief has requisitioned hundreds of carriages, and has been pulling from Kunming to Gelong Laozhai for several months, how can this be fake?" ”

"I don't know about this official." Ding Kuichu said, "Maybe Sha Dingzhou used some kind of trick to cover the eyes, and the real treasure place is not the Dang Gelong, but somewhere else." ”

Mu Tianbo looked at Ding Kuichu deeply.

seems to be distinguishing the truth of Ding Kuichu's words.

……

On the tenth day of September in the nineteenth year of Chongzhen, Chongzhen personally led a large army to Qujing City.

This time, Chongzhen never left a way for Sha Dingzhou to retreat, but directly ordered 100,000 native soldiers to surround the entire Qujing Mansion City, and ordered the native soldiers to dig trenches around Qujing.

Admittedly, digging a trench to block the city is really useful.

While besieging the city of Qujing, Chongzhen also asked Wu Wenying, the governor of Yunnan Province, who had just arrived in Qujing, to send envoys to persuade Tusi such as Jiaohua, Wang Nong, and Bazhai.

Chongzhen's will is very clear, except for the two Tusi of Amizhou and Mengzi who must be severely punished, the other Tusi are just wrapped or bewitched by Shadingzhou, as long as they bring the local soldiers to Qujing to ask for surrender, all the past crimes will no longer be investigated, but if they do not come to Qujing Mansion within ten days to ask for surrender, they will be punished as rebellious.

At the same time, Yunnan native soldiers with loud voices were also sent to shout to the city.

Even the native soldiers of Amiszhou and Mengzi, as long as they are willing to surrender, they will not be held accountable for their past mistakes, and only rebellious leaders such as Sha Dingzhou, Wan and Tang Guest must be severely punished.

At the same time as shouting, let the artillery battalion bombard the city wall.

Under the threat of political offensive and Hongyi artillery, every day, there were Tumu of Amisu or Mengzi, with more or less native soldiers out of the city to ask for surrender.

Three days after the siege, the eastern city wall of Qujing was blown down.

Immediately, Rongmei Tusi's native soldiers took the lead in entering the city, and the new army followed closely into the city of Qujingfu.

The native soldiers of Amiszhou and Mengzi originally did not have any fighting spirit left, and as soon as the city wall collapsed, they completely lost their will to resist, and they threw away their weapons and knelt on the ground to surrender.

Rongmei soldiers effortlessly captured Qujing Mansion.

Sha Dingzhou, Wan and his wife, Tang Guest and Tie Zhihu were all captured by Rongmei soldiers.

"You're Sha Dingzhou?" Chongzhen looked at Meng Zi Tusi, who was kneeling in front of him, about thirty years old, and he looked quite thoughtful, just a dejected and declining appearance.

Sha Dingzhou ignored Chongzhen, he knew very well that he would definitely die.

Chongzhen was not interested in interrogating more, and turned his attention to Wu Wenying, the governor of Yunnan Province, as well as Tang Zhaoyuan, the governor of Yunnan who had just arrived at Qujing Mansion, and Wang Xigon, the former servant of Ding Wei's former official department at home.

"A few Qing family members have taken a closer look for me, it's Sha Dingzhou and his wife and a few henchmen, right?"

Wang Xigon, Tang Zhaoyuan and Wu Wenying stepped forward to take a closer look, and finally Wang Xigon reported to Chongzhen: "Back to the saint, there is no doubt that it is Sha Dingzhou and his wife and several henchmen. ”

"Yes." Chongzhen nodded and said suddenly, "Wu has pushed out the charcoal and cut it." ”

Sha Dingzhou and most of his henchmen did not react in particular, and obviously accepted this result a long time ago, but Tang Guest struggled and begged loudly, but he still wanted to live.

"Holy Lord, the minister is only coerced by Sha Dingzhou."

"As you said, those who are coerced by Shadingzhou can be exempted from sin."

"Holy Lord, the minister has great talents, and he can make contributions to the Ming Dynasty!

However, Chongzhen remained unmoved, as if he hadn't heard it.

After a while, Wu Jiangtan presented the heads of more than a dozen henchmen such as Sha Dingzhou and Tie Zhihu, and the generation of heroes who can be counted in Yunnan came to an end.

Hearing that Qujing was attacked and Sha Dingzhou and his wife were also beheaded, the other Tusi finally couldn't resist.

On the second day, Dongchuan Prefecture Tusi Lu trillion and Lu Wan Zhao came to ask for surrender, and on the third day, Yang Zu, the king of Tusi, came to ask for surrender, and then on the fourth day, there were more Tusi who came to ask for surrender, there were eight of them.

By the 21st of September, in addition to the Tusi of Xiwu Shidong, more than a dozen Tusi who had followed or were coerced by Shadingzhou had all come to ask for surrender, and more than 100,000 Tusi had been disarmed and detained.

Another day, Ding Kuichu finally arrived at Qujing Mansion with 100,000 Guangxi wolf soldiers.

followed Ding Kuichu's army to Qujing Mansion, as well as Mu Tianbo, the Duke of Qianguo.

Chongzhen was also not stingy, and immediately asked Wang Chengen and Gao Qiqian to organize a celebration banquet.

Because there were too many civil and military generals and Tusi who participated in the celebration banquet, Chongzhen simply asked Wang Chengen and Gao Qiqian to place the banquet on the square outside the Qujing Mansion.

"Ding Qing." Chongzhen slowly walked in front of Ding Kuichu with the wine bottle.

"Holy." Ding Kuichu hurriedly avoided the table and got up and saluted Chongzhen.

"Flat." Chongzhen freed his right hand to help Ding Kuichu up, and said, "This first bottle of wine, I have to respect you, if you hadn't led 100,000 Guangxi wolf soldiers to arrive in time, and seized Lin'an Mansion in one fell swoop with the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, this time if you want to pacify the Shadingzhou rebellion, I don't know if it will be delayed until the Year of the Monkey." ”

"The minister is frightened, and the minister is ashamed." Ding Kuichu said in a panic, "This all depends on the calculation of the Holy Temple, as well as the courage of the forty-eight wolf soldiers in Guangxi. ”

is worthy of being an old fox in officialdom, knowing that not fighting is a big fight.

"Ding Qing is humble." Chongzhen patted Ding Kuichu's shoulder and back, and drank it all.

Ding Kuichu also hurriedly raised the wine bottle and drank it all, a bottle of wine went down, Ding Kuichu actually felt a little up, stable, with this calming Sha Dingzhou, entering the cabinet auxiliary government is already a sure thing.

Chongzhen raised the wine bottle, and the accompanying Gao Qiqian hurriedly filled it for him.

Chongzhen picked up the wine bottle again and said to the forty-eight wolf soldier leaders sitting behind Ding Kuichu: "This second cup of wine, I have to pay tribute to the forty-eight wolf soldier leaders, thank you for your support to me and the Ming Dynasty!" ”

There were officials who knew how to speak Zhuang to translate Chongzhen's words in the past, and the forty-eight wolf soldier leaders also hurriedly raised their bottles and looked at Chongzhen with a sincere and fearful face.

This one alone is enough for them to brag about for a lifetime.

Chongzhen tilted his neck and drank the second bottle of wine, which was also a little upset.

Because the wine that Chongzhen used to entertain civil officials, military generals and toast this time was not an ordinary low-alcohol wine, but a high-grade liquor specially transported from Banzhou - Moutai wolf-sauce wine.

This batch of Moutai wolf-sauce wine was originally intended to clean the wounds of the wounded.

However, it was much easier than expected to quell the rebellion in Shadingzhou, so a lot of Moutai wolf sauce wine was preserved, so it was used by Chongzhen to entertain meritorious soldiers.

Chongzhen said: "I also prepared a reward for the wolf soldiers in Guangxi, as long as they participated in the battle of the sand chaos, everyone has a share, let the warriors of the forty-eight departments enter the city to receive the reward, I also want to meet these warriors who have contributed to the country, and I even want to give the warriors a bottle of wine!" ”

After listening to the translation, the head of the forty-eight parts was even more excited.

Chongzhen smiled and said: "By the way, in order not to frighten the people in the city, the warriors should not wear armor when they enter the city this time, and they don't need to carry swords and soldiers, as long as they come with their stomachs and mouths, I have asked the new army to prepare enough beef and mutton and steamed cakes, and each person has a pot of water and wine, just waiting for the warriors to enter the city to enjoy." ”

After listening to the translation, the leaders of the forty-eight parts cheered even more.

"Long live Daming! Long live His Majesty the Emperor! The leaders cheered.

"The sun, moon, mountains and rivers are forever, long live the Ming Dynasty!" Chongzhen took advantage of the situation and lifted the wine bottle again.

"The sun, moon, mountains and rivers are forever, long live the Ming Dynasty!" All the civil officials and military generals and Tusi who participated in the celebration banquet also raised their wine bottles one after another and cheered loudly with Chongzhen.

It's just that the central plot is hard to explain.

Wang Xigon, who was sitting at the head of the civil official class, sighed lightly.

I really hope as much as I hope, and I think that after the enlightenment of the Holy Coal Mountain, it will really become different from before, but this time I see it, but it is still not much different.

The Holy One is still like that...... Easy to be gullible.

Who is Ding Kuichu? This male is a silverfish.

Mu Tianbo, who was sitting at the head of the general's class, was even more depressed.

Mu Tianbo originally wanted to sue the emperor in front of Chongzhen, and let Ding Kuichu and the forty-eight Guangxi wolf soldiers spit out the gold, silver, softness and goods that they ate into their mouths, but now it seems that there is no play.

The saints opened Chrysostom and designated Ding Kuichu as the head of the pacification of the sand turmoil.

At this time, if he still ran to sue the emperor, wouldn't that be against the saint?

The Xiangxi Tusi and the Western Hubei Tusi present were envious and jealous, and said that the 48 wolf soldiers of Guangxi were really lucky with shit this time, why did Sha Dingzhou, a fool, abandon Amiszhou and Mengzi, and instead ran to Pingyiwei to confront them? If he guards Mengzi to the core, this head should be the toast of western Hunan and Hubei, but it's a pity.

Zhu Cijiong, Xu Yingwei, Yan Yingyuan and other Qinwang scholars watched coldly.

Only they know that today's celebration banquet is not just a celebration banquet.

To paraphrase a poem by Emperor Taizu Gao, the golden bottle is drunk together, and the white blade is not forgiving.

After drinking wine and rewarding for meritorious service, it is time to clean up the accounts, not only the bad debts of Shadingzhou that disturbed Yunnan, but also other people's accounts, and even the accounts of the Qianguo Mansion must be settled.

In a word, today's celebration wine is not so good.

……

Forty-eight Guangxi wolf soldiers were stationed outside the four gates of Qujing.

After receiving the order of the leader, the 48 nearly 100,000 Guangxi wolf soldiers happily entered the city to receive the reward, in accordance with the emperor's will, in order not to frighten the people, all the wolf soldiers did not wear armor, nor did they bring knives, and they were divided into four groups at the request of the eunuchs, and formed a neat six-way column to enter the city from the four gates.

After entering the city through the four gates, he was left to wait on the side street near the city wall.

The wolf soldiers did not doubt him, after all, nearly 100,000 wolf soldiers entered the city, and there was indeed no other place to sit so many people except sitting on the street.

But what happened next made the wolf soldiers unbelievable.

With the sound of neat footsteps, groups of heavily armed native soldiers from western Hunan and Hubei suddenly drove out of the alleys, all of whom were armed with four spears and went straight towards them.

The Guangxi wolf soldiers realized that something was wrong and instinctively wanted to retreat from the city gate.

But only to hear the sound of the bang, the jack gate of the city gate has fallen.

"Go up to the city tower, go down the city!" The Guangxi wolf soldiers did not stand still.

However, before the wolf soldiers could go up, groups of new soldiers leaned out from behind the female wall at the head of the city.

I saw that these recruits were all armed with flintlock pistols with socket bayonets attached, and the muzzles of the black holes were already aimed at the Guangxi wolf soldiers on the street below, and the forty-eight Guangxi wolf soldiers did not dare to act rashly for an instant.
