Chapter 1439
People say that Emperor Chongzhen is suspicious, harsh and merciless, which is not a slander.
In the Chongzhen reign, just 10-20 years, the cabinet Zaifu changed one crop after another, very frequently, and many ministers were desolate evening scenes in his hands.
He said that he was impatient, such as Yuan Chonghuan, shouting a slogan, five years of Ping Liao, he was commissioned to reuse. Neither has he carefully examined what this person is capable of, nor has he thought about whether his strategy is feasible.
I just thought of rectifying things all at once, and everything else seemed to be unimportant.
As for being suspicious, there is no need to say more. Zaifu was so diligent, indicating that none of these people had the trust of Chongzhen.
But in its essence, it is probably forced by the situation.
The death of Emperor Apocalypse is unclear, the influence inside and outside the palace is entangled, even the Emperor Imperial Capital trembling with fear, how can you say that Emperor Chongzhen is not suspicious?
At the beginning of his ascension, he cleaned up Wei Zhongxian. With the help of the civil official group, he cut Eastern Yard and Bright Gown Guard across the board, cut off his hands and feet, and gouged his eyes. At that time, I might feel refreshed-Wei Zhongxian, a traitorous minister, bringing calamity to the country and the people, die without regret, Eastern Yard Bright Gown Guard is his lackey, cruelly ruining Zhongliang and oppressing commoners.
But he is not a fool after all. When he sits on that seat, he gradually realizes that civil servants are actually his enemies, who will fight for his power and blind his eyes and ears, and he will definitely come over.
In this way, how can he believe these civil servants who have cheated him?
In addition to the internal trouble and outside aggression, the country is turbulent, and the troubles that do not know how many inside and outside are pressing on his heart, he is already very remarkable if he is not crazy.
To be honest, Emperor Chongzhen should be considered an extremely strong man.
Often through the dynasties, the last king of subjugation is mostly the role of broken jars, why? Because I can't bear the pressure of a country toppling, I can only be a coward.
He wants to pull strongly against a crazy tide, 30 years old with white temples, you can imagine how much pressure he is under.
Wang Chengen was a follower who watched Emperor Chongzhen grow up, and he understood Chongzhen's temperament very well. Perseverance, once you make up your mind, Nine Headed Bull can't pull it back.
Although Wang Chengen feels that Sun Chuanting is'dead', and giving him a posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous title is not a big deal, and it can also reflect the emperor’s mind, but the emperor is determined to be so, he dare not go any further Say more.
Just listen to the emperor continue to say: "Sun Chuanting is defeated, Kaifeng is in danger. What is Hou Xun doing now?"
Wang Chengen said: "In return to the emperor, Hou Xun is still training troops in Hebei."
"Training?!" The emperor was angry again: "I taught him Governor to suppress the thief in the seven towns of Baoding, and he will train in Hebei?!"
Wang Chengen said nothing.
Emperor Chongzhen raised his hand, and finally did not shoot down. He took a deep breath: "Importantly urge Hou Xun to dispatch troops quickly."
said: "Crush The thief was defeated in the court, and there is no barrier in Kaifeng. In any case, I must keep the Zhou Wangshu! Then the decree was made to make the Huguang general army Yingyi prepare his troops and command Kaifeng to wipe out the thief!"
"Yes, the emperor."
...
The thieves are fierce and have no bottom line, which makes Emperor Chongzhen very angry. Whether it is the death of King Fu, the death of King Tang, or the excavation of Fengyang Ancestral Mausoleum, the piles, piece by piece, all rub the dignity of the Great Ming Dynasty on the ground.
As an emperor, this is unbearable.
So he wanted to keep Zhou Wang, for the last bit of emperor's dignity.
If an emperor has no dignity, he can't persuade people, and he can't persuade them. How can he govern the country? This is not a trivial matter, but a major event related to the importance of the divine tool.
I am a country. If I lose my face, what is the qualification to be the patriarch of various Xia nations? also What qualifications to call the emperor?
The emperor’s ancestral tomb was dug, and the emperor’s uncle relatives were cooked. Is this still the emperor? Isn't it a joke? !
The Kaifeng war is serious. Emperor Qi almost vomited blood, but the Manchu dynasty's civil and military, it was like a dream. It seems that there have been too many bad news in these years, and I have become accustomed to it.
Except for those scholars and literati who criticized the emperor in the brothel teahouse, asking the emperor to behave in a benevolent governance, and what he wanted the emperor to do, it seemed that everything would get better. apart from this, no more waves.
Opening.
General Li Chuang rested his soldiers for the whole night, burying a pot for cooking early the next morning, and squeezing out some of the tight grain. Forty thousand soldiers and horses ate and drank enough, and then sent his troops straight to the city of Kaifeng.
The rain has stopped for a day, and there is still mud outside Kaifeng. Li Chuang opened the battle, and more than 20 cannons of various colors aimed at the head of Kaifeng City, waving his hand.
Someone rode out and came to the city of Kaifeng. He yelled and said, "The thief at the head of the city listens: Chuangwang has something to make you surrender in a moment. If not, even chicken and dog doesn't remain after the city is broken!"
On the head of the city, Gao Mingheng's face is like iron, waving his hands, thunderclap, and a cannon flying in the flames. Resolutely respond.
Li Chuang went straight to the sword, and was surrounded by a group of thieves under the big banner of the Chinese army. Seeing Chengtou's response, he was not upset. He played three times in Kaifeng, and was shot blind in this city. He didn't have much expectation about whether Kaifeng surrendered.
It's just a routine, thinking that it's all to intimidate and rob morale.
"Since last year, our old bosses have opened the seal several times, and none of them are available. Our old bosses are not having a good time now, and it is even more difficult for Kaifeng. This time we are about to be in a spurt of energy. The brewed city, kill the special brewers, bring the special brewed wives and daughters, and our old bourgeois can enjoy it."
Li Chuang raised his whip and pointed directly at the city’s head: "Come on, give us old Conquer the city!"
Siege warfare is the least fancy battle. To break the city, you can only fight with human lives. Following Li Chuang's order, 5,000 thieves pushed the shield car, and the shielding artillery array slowly approached the city wall.
Chengtou took the lead in the fight, and with the rumbling sound of the artillery, the prelude to the battle started.
At this time, Li Chuang said to Song Xiance: "Ying Yi’s soldiers and horses are fifty miles away. If you can’t break the city within two hours, things will be difficult. Go down and be prepared. ..."
Song Xiance understood, turned and submerged into the Chinese Army.
By this time, Li Chuang already knew who the enemy behind him was. Ying Yi, the newly appointed General Soldier of Huguang, is this person!
Don’t blame him for hindsight, it’s really time is too short and the news has not spread.
Now that I know, the hatred in my heart naturally does not need to be repeated. But hate to hate, but even more fear. These days, Li Chuang was not idle and did nothing, he also secretly dispatched people to sneak into Nanyang to inquire about the news. The story of Ying Yi breaking the thief was widely circulated in Nanyang, and all of them would be known as soon as they inquired.
It was last night.
Overlord’s bravery, ten thousand man but without a match, wins more with less, kills thieves like kills chickens, all of these, let Li Chuang know that the enemy of ten thousand people that made him jealous is Ying Yi !
The unknown is frightening, but what you know may not be more frightening. After the thief learned of the news, he became more afraid of Ying Yi.
As for the staff of Zheng Wu and Zheng Jiu who are attached to the back of his ass, after all, 5,000 people will not be invisible. No matter how lurking they are, they will still be noticed by him.
