The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 181 Chongzhen's determination

On April [-], Phi Island reported to the court.

Liu Xingzhi was dissatisfied with the imperial court, gathered troops to rebel, and was wiped out by Xu Fuzuo and Ding Yi. The reason for his dissatisfaction with the imperial court seemed to be that the imperial court arrested Yuan Chonghuan.

Chongzhen was furious when he heard the words. He didn't want to kill Yuan Chonghuan at first, but since he was arrested in December, he has kept Yuan Chonghuan in captivity.

But in recent months, Liang Tingdong, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, proposed to kill Yuan Chonghuan twice in three days.

Chongzhen remained silent.

Because he thought, Yuan Chonghuan still has Ding Yi who can win the battle, and Zu Dashou who ran away last time.

If the generals below are all protecting Yuan Chonghuan, Chongzhen doesn't want to mess around.

Fortunately, Zu Dashou was willing to obey later, but he just didn't want to go to Beijing.

Probably also afraid of being arrested.

But I don't know what Ding Yi, who can fight the most, thinks?

That night, Chongzhen summoned Liang Tingdong overnight, and the commander of Jinyiwei sent Luo Yangxing.

It is said that Luo Yangxing's illness is just right, his face is a little pale, and his complexion is not as good as before.

"The humble minister kowtows to the Holy One."

The two knelt down one after another, waited for Chongzhen to speak before getting up, and stood respectfully with their hands down.

Chongzhen showed the military newspaper to the two of them. Of course, the two already knew about it.

"You should be killed." Liang Tingdong shouted on the spot after reading it: "Yuan Chonghuan should be killed."

Luo Yangxing was inexplicable. When Liang first said that he should be killed, he thought he was talking about Liu Xingzhi, but he didn't expect to be talking about Yuan.

How much enmity do you have with Lao Yuan that you want to kill him every day?Of course Luo Yangxing knew that the man surnamed Liang was screaming in front of Chongzhen to kill Yuan every three days.

But he didn't know that Liang was caught by Yuan because he was greedy for ink, that's why he was in such a hurry.

Chongzhen glanced at Liang calmly: "Xu Fuzuo and Ding Yi did a great job. I heard that they were also Yuan's confidantes before."

"Ding Yi is not." Liang said decisively.

The day before yesterday, with Wenbao, Yang Yong sent another 2000 taels of silver, a lot of beautifully packaged sea cucumbers and other delicacies, so Liang Jue had to tell the truth.

"Ding Yi used to be the Chief Jia of Daxing Castle, and he has never met Yuan." Liang Tingdong said slowly.

While speaking, he watched Chongzhen's face carefully.

Chongzhen's face was calm and relaxed.

His voice was slightly louder: "Later when Daxing Fort was broken, he led people to fight and retreat, retreated to Xu Dabao, and worshiped Xu Dabao Zhang as his adoptive father."

The corner of Luo Yangxing's mouth twitched slightly, fighting and retreating?Didn't he flee for his life?
These civil servants can really fucking talk.

"Speaking of which, Zhang Cheng is also a good general."

"When Juehua Island was destroyed, only Zhang Cheng withdrew with his boat."

Luo Yangxing glanced at him again, mother, just run away, it's all retreat.

"He saved a warship of the official army and brought out hundreds of elite soldiers. He was considered meritorious in the first place."

"But Juehua Island was destroyed, which affected Yuan's achievements. Yuan Chonghuan is a small-minded person, so he hated him. He rose up secretly and asked him to guard Xu Dabao."

"So, Zhang Cheng and Yuan are not right."

"Ding Yi is Zhang Chengyi's righteous son, how could he be Yuan's confidant?"

Hearing this, Chongzhen smiled and nodded slowly.

"There is another episode here, which is very interesting." Liang Tingdong laughed.

Seeing that Chongzhen was happy, he became even more excited.

"Oh." Chongzhen was really interested.

"Last year, Ding Yi went to see Yuan Chonghuan with his meritorious deeds to repay the meritorious deeds of his subordinate Xu Wei and others."

"Your Majesty, this Yuan is really insidious. In front of Ding Yi, he promoted Xu Wei and others to Qianhu."

"Everyone was tearful with gratitude and cried bitterly on the spot. He was clearly trying to win people's hearts and suppress Ding Yi."

Liang Tingdong laughed, very happy.

Chongzhen had an embarrassed expression on his face, and he probably greeted Liang's family fifty times in his heart.

Because of this kind of thing, he also did it.

Yuan wanted to mention Ding Yi as the capital, and he directly mentioned Guerrilla in order to disgust Yuan and win people's hearts.

Liang Tingdong was so troublesome, he was slightly angry.

But Liang Tingdong said so much, that is to say, Yuan is not good, which proves that Ding Yi is not Yuan's confidant.

Ding Yi is such a capable general, of course he cannot be Yuan's confidant.

Chongzhen thought for a while, then asked Luo Yangxing: "What's the news from Jin Yiwei?"

"Return to the Holy One." Luo Yangxing, of course, wanted to say that Ding Yi was Yuan's confidant, and he had better be arrested as a bastard.

But now I know it's impossible.

The attitude of Emperor Chongzhen is very obvious.

The key point is that bastard Ding Yi can do anything.

Luo Yangxing thought about it for a while, and had no choice but to tell the truth: "Jinyi Wei Pidao secretly reported that Liu Xingzhi publicly accused him of not telling the court that day, saying that it was wrong for the court to arrest Yuan."

Chongzhen's face suddenly turned black.

"Later, I also told Ding Yi that we are all Master Yuan's people, and we are Master Yuan's confidantes."

"But Ding Yi said, we are all from the court, from the Holy One."

Chongzhen was overjoyed and patted his thigh: "Well said, Ding Yi is really loyal."

Loyalty, Luo Yangxing cursed in his heart, he even dared to kill me, what is the difference from rebellion.

But this was what the Jinyiwei reported, and he didn't dare to talk nonsense, so he had to be honest.

Then Luo Yangxing said that they were preparing a memorial in the camp, and they wanted to report to Liu Xingzhi because of Yuan Chonghuan.

Only Xu Fuzuo hesitated, but Ding Yi didn't make a sound.

Liang Tingdong looked up at Luo Yangxing unobtrusively at this moment, this Jin Yiwei is really disgusting, he can know what other people say in the camp, so he has to be careful in the future.

Hearing this, Chongzhen felt very comforted.

Ding Yi is different from Zu Dashou, and he really cannot be regarded as Yuan's confidant.

It seems that what Wang Chengen said is correct, Ding Yi is a loyal general, much better than Zu Dashou and his ilk.

Originally Chongzhen was hesitant to kill Yuan Chonghuan, mainly because he was afraid that Yuan's generals would react too much.

Looking at it now, Zu Dashou is barely obedient, but he dare not enter the capital, Ding Yi is not Yuan's confidant, and Xu Fuzuo and others are not good enough. If they are transferred to other places, they will have no foundation.

In this case, a certain determination of his has become stronger and stronger.

It was as strong as when Yuan Chonghuan wanted to kill Mao Wenlong.

He pondered now: "Now that Chen Jisheng has sacrificed his life for the country, and Phi Island has undergone major changes, what do you think of the Ministry of War?"

The Ministry of War originally planned to transfer Chen Jisheng to Guanzhen, but now that Chen Jisheng is dead, according to Chongzhen's idea, it is best to transfer Xu Fuzuo to Guanzhen and promote Ding Yi as the general soldier of Pidao.

But this is too impossible, Ding Yi is now a guerrilla, and he is not qualified to be the commander-in-chief at all, and there are a lot of generals and deputy generals on Pidao.

It's not his turn.

Liang Tingdong took Ding Yi's money, so of course he could only tell the truth.

"Phi Island is in chaos, the generals have suffered numerous casualties, and the soldiers and warships have also been damaged."

"The Ministry of War means that the matter of Chen Jisheng and the navy going to Guanzhen should be given up for now."

"Xu Fuzuo is still serving as the deputy general of Pidao, and Lushun remains unchanged."

What Liang Tingdong meant was that Chen Jisheng's people stopped moving, and the original changes in Lushun continued.

Of course Chongzhen was dissatisfied, because Ding Yi hadn't been promoted, but he had nothing to say. After all, Ding Yi had been promoted once this year.

When Luo Yangxing heard this, his ears twitched slightly, and he couldn't help turning his head: "Jin Yiwei didn't get any news? Is there any damage to the Phi Island warship?"
