Emperor Ming Dynasty

Chapter 94 The World Shakes

Chapter 94 The World Shakes
A total of wealth.

This is Zhu Yixi's most direct slogan.

Therefore, he is also extraordinarily generous to the officer class.

Because he understands that the generals are more realistic, especially the poor and accustomed Shaanxi soldiers, and nothing fascinates them more than silver.

The captain of a hundred taels, the total of 500 taels, the thousand total of one thousand taels, and the leader of a battalion, 3000 taels.

All of a sudden, the hearts of the soldiers surged, all the homesickness and anxiety disappeared, and there was only support for General Zhu.

The Wu San Order was also promulgated in due course at this time.

The thicker treatment makes people closer to each other.

Recruitment offices in various places in Hanzhong Prefecture immediately saw a large number of recruits sign up, with a scale of more than [-].

The most obvious thing is that Chen Dong, the big man who left with the treasured sword, also accepted the recruitment with a silly smile and acted as a personal guard.

"Vice captain, captain, deputy general, general, deputy thousand, thousand, deputy battalion commander, battalion commander—"

Li Jizu counted, and said with a silly smile: "I am the eighth rank, one rank behind Chen Zongbing. I join the army, and I am more prestigious than his Zongbing!"

"Commander Li!" Deputy Commander Xiong Yingjie, seeing his appearance, was quite speechless and said, "You are a member of the army, and you can't compare with the general army. There are only so many general soldiers in the entire Ming Dynasty."

"What do you know?" Li Jizu squinted and said, "A commander-in-chief without soldiers and horses is nothing."

As he said that, he approached the deputy conductor, and asked suspiciously, "I see that you are still a little bit dissatisfied. What's the matter, want to rebel?"

Xiong Yingjie was taken aback, and then smiled bitterly: "The soldiers and horses under my command are still in the new barracks, how could they rebel."

"That's true." Li Jizu finally came to his senses, smiled and said, "Anyway, you kid, just don't play any tricks."

Xiong Yingjie was speechless, cooperating with such a partner really wanted to cry.

……

Just when Zhu Yixi was showing his talents in Hanzhong, Li Zicheng, who occupied Xi'an, was not idle and began to attack everywhere.

Take Tian Bin to guard Xi'an, and he will go to the fortress himself.

On the fifteenth day of the tenth month, Pingliang was trapped, and King Han rushed to Qingyang.

On the [-]th, the Yan'an Mansion was conquered, and Xie Wenying, the deputy general of Yan'an, and Yao Qichong, the county magistrate, died.

Li Zicheng changed Yan'an Mansion to Tianbao Mansion, and Mizhi, his hometown, to Tianbao County.

On the 25th, soldiers came to Yulin.

Bai Guangen led the frontier army in Yulin Town to resist to the death and fought hard for five days and nights.

Seeing that the loss was too great to overcome for a while, Li Zicheng sent someone to persuade him to surrender.

Bai Guangen took Yulin town up and down, returned to the surrender army, and led the troops himself.

And Li Zicheng also promised not to retaliate and massacre the city.

At the beginning of November, Li Zicheng led the army again and went to Ningxia Town.

For a time, the world shook.

Beijing was naturally shocked.

Emperor Chongzhen hurriedly summoned his ministers to discuss matters.

All the ministers asked Yu Yinggui, the former governor of Huguang, to be released from prison.

Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen followed the good advice and proposed Yu Yinggui, who was in prison, to be promoted to the right servant of the Ministry of War.

And Yu Yinggui said that he was not wronged.

At that time, Zhang Xianzhong was recruited, but he said it was impossible. Later, Zhang Xianzhong turned against him, but he escaped from his jurisdiction and has been imprisoned ever since.

To put it bluntly, although his ability is not very good, he has a good strategic vision, and he is the only one who understands soldiers and horses in court.

Short and tall, once again high hopes are placed on him.

As for Li Zicheng's entry into Guanzhong, Chief Assistant Chen Yan said indifferently: "Thieves entering Guanzhong will inevitably be greedy for women and treasures, just like a tiger falling into a trap, and will be exhausted."

Hearing this, Yu Yinggui scolded angrily: "All the best soldiers and horses in the world come from Kansai. Now that the robbers get them, they are like a tiger with wings added, and they will surely run amok."

"Zhong Tanggui is the chief assistant, how can you face him safely?"

Chen Yan woke up in an instant, his legs trembling, and his face was terrified.

Anger rose in his heart again, the little servant was so presumptuous.

Just as he was about to utter a lesson, he turned his head to look at it, and saw that Emperor Chongzhen's face was full of disgust.

At this moment, he understood that the position of chief assistant who had been in office for half a year was a little unstable.

Now, he bowed his head and said nothing more.

"The Qing family is well aware of military affairs, and if they want to deal with the intruders, they are already prepared!"

Chongzhen twitched his mouth and asked with a smile.

"This……"

Yu Yinggui hesitated, and seeing the emperor's complexion getting worse, he had to grit his teeth and replied, "I have some experience, and I would like to share your majesty's worries."

"very good!"

A smile appeared on Chongzhen's face: "Give you the title of Yushi, the capital of the right, and the three sides of the supervisor."

"Wei Chen obeys!"

Yu Yinggui had no choice but to agree.

After speaking, he looked at the emperor eagerly, waiting for the conditions.

After being stared at for a long time, Emperor Chongzhen felt a bit of a headache, and said helplessly: "I will give you [-] yuan from the inside, and then send the Beijing camp to escort him."

Yu Yinggui was shocked, what can 50,000 taels do?
The military expenditure is only two or three months.

Seeing the incredible expression on his face, Chongzhen also felt embarrassed:
"In the ninth year of Chongzhen, when Sun Chuanting went to Shaanxi, I only paid 60,000 taels with him, and raised the rest by myself. In just a few years, I formed the Qin army and swept away the rebels."

"Yu Qing's family, I believe in you, it's okay."

"Wei Chen takes orders."

Yu Yinggui really wanted to yell at him right now, so he pointed his nose and scolded him.

Can it be the same then as it is now?At that time, Shaanxi Province was still in our hands. Now Shaanxi, Henan, and Huguang are in a mess and are no longer owned by the imperial court. How can we raise money?

However, until now, it had to be done.

At this time, he didn't know that because of the big battle, the Beijing camp was completely dead and wounded, and the admiral's soldiers and horses were only a thousand or so, and they were all old, weak, sick and disabled.

Chen Yan was targeted by the monarch and his ministers, so he was forced to leave early.

After dealing with the affairs in Shaanxi, Emperor Chongzhen heaved a sigh of relief and asked, "Wang Banban, all the ministers said that Yu Yinggui is worthy of a great job, but he hesitated just now, and I am afraid that I will be disappointed again."

Saying that, the emperor sighed rather uncomfortable.

Wang Chengen didn't know what to say for a while.

He understood that the emperor was having doubts. Yu Yinggui did not make a promise, or he hesitated, which made the emperor suspicious.

I gave someone 50,000 taels, and went to wipe out Li Zicheng, who had an army of one million. Who can guarantee this.

"In this way, if you let Jin Yiwei keep an eye on you, you may be the second Wu Zhen."

Chongzhen was still worried, so he ordered.

"The slaves obey."

Wang Chengen hurriedly agreed.

"By the way, is there any clarity about Kaifeng's flooding?"

Chongzhen rubbed his brows, and asked about the third Kaifeng siege and the embankment digging case.

The imperial court was very concerned about the tragedy of the flooding of millions of people in Kaifeng City. Although it was rumored that it was the work of the Chuangjun, there were countless people who impeached Huang Shu and Yan Yunjing.

Immediately, someone said that it was the officers and soldiers who broke the embankment to drown the intruders, and the later intruders also broke the river to hedge, even if they only broke a dike, it would not cause such a tragedy.

All in all, the imperial court has been inconclusive so far, arguing together, but there is no suggestion on how to ward off thieves.

"Still arguing!"

"The fire is imminent, and they are still arguing. It's a reversal of priorities."

Emperor Chongzhen was quite helpless, and was afraid of the situation of intruders that Yu Yinggui said today.
