Chongzhen Daming: Starting from Coal Mountain

Chapter 53
"Long live Lord!"

"Long live Lord!"

Lu Jiude quickly ran to Yiding camp.

Behind Lu Jiude, Gao Qi dived.

Gao Qiqian fell behind Lu Jiude because he received [-] lashes last time, and his thigh injury affected his legs and feet. Otherwise, it would be impossible for Lu Jiude to get ahead 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 with Chongzhen.

There are also a few young eunuchs from the Nanjing Garrison.

"Stop!" Two barbarians stopped them with swords.

"Long Live Lord, our family wants to see Long Live Lord." Lu Jiude was so anxious that he was about to jump.

But those two barbarians ignored them, and just put a machete on the necks of Lu Jiude and Gao Qiqian, preventing them from entering the barracks behind them.

At this moment, a barbarian came over.

But he was one of the ten Mongolian loyal men named Chongzhen, Ba Hanzhen.

"Who?" Ba Hanzhen said coldly, "Dare to disturb Sheng Jia?"

"Ba Jue, it's our family." Gao Qiqian said first, "Our family has something urgent to see Lord Long Live."

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

Ba Hanzhen let out a muffled snort and turned to enter the tent. When Gao Qiqian and Lu Jiude came in, Ba Hanzhen had already led a team of barbarians to guard behind Chongzhen.

Chongzhen asked, "What's the matter?"

Lu Jiude and Gao Qiqian said at the same time: "There has been a mutiny at Liu Lingtai. Wang Zuntan, Ma Huabao, Zhang Guozhu and other generals have tied up Liu Zeqing and are waiting outside the camp gate."

"Oh really?" Chongzhen was really surprised.

He thought that Liu Zeqing's army would definitely be divided in the end, but he didn't expect that Liu Zeqing would be arrested by his generals before he could do anything.

Smiling, Chongzhen said: "Call them in."

Gao Qiqian complied with the command and limped away, but Lu Jiude didn't move.

When Gao Qiqian walked away, Lu Jiude said flatteringly: "Long Live Lord, let this old servant stay in front of the imperial court to serve you."

After Gao Qiqian came out outside Yangzhou City, Chongzhen established a rule that only Yi Ding was allowed to stay with him at night, and eunuchs were not allowed to stay with him, except for Wang Chengen.

Moreover, Chongzhen did not set up a fixed tent for himself.

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

After entering the camp, randomly choose one of more than a dozen tents to live in.

For example, last night, Chongzhen slept in a tent of Zhenbaihu in Bayan.

Chongzhen's move seems to be just a temporary idea, but it actually implies a deep meaning, and there are two deep meanings.

One layer of intention is to imitate Zhu Yuanzhang to win people's hearts, completely subdue more than a thousand barbarians such as Wu Ba Tan and Meng Ke Tu, and make them his most loyal lackeys.

In fact, Chongzhen had been doing this before.

The effect is also quite good, this Qianyi Ding has become a loyal lackey!
[Note: After Zhu Yuanzhang made an forced landing on the [-]-strong army of the Yuan Dynasty general Chen Zhaoxian, he selected [-] elite soldiers from them, and Chen Zhaoxian led them to serve as his guards. Died on the spot]

The second layer is intended to prevent assassination, against Jiannu or assassins of the Dashun Army, and against civilian groups.

Believe it or not, there were indeed many strange things happened in the Ming Dynasty, such as the bizarre deaths of Emperor Zhengde and Emperor Tianqi who fell into the water, and Emperor Jiajing was almost strangled to death by a court lady, and the madman Zhang Cha was killed with only a jujube stick. He was able to break into the Forbidden Palace 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 strange things.

There are conspiracy theories that these strange incidents are all behind the scenes of the civil society.

From the perspective of criminology, the civil official group does have the motivation to do these things, because Emperor Zhengde and Emperor Tianqi have one thing in common. There is a motive to kill Emperor Zhengde and Emperor Tianqi.

As for the shooting case, some analysts said it was a bitter trick.

No one can tell what the truth is.

But this kind of thing would rather be believed than not.

Because of one carelessness, he lost his own life.

So Chongzhen transferred the eunuch away from the couch without hesitation.

Although eunuchs are the emperor's domestic slaves, they are not necessarily reliable.

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

Only these barbarians are all from the west of Liaoning, they are innocent, and they cannot have any interest in the civil society, and these barbarians stay in the army all the year round without contact with the outside world.

Therefore, it is difficult for the civil official group to find an opportunity to buy.

Finally, there is one more point, Chongzhen did not set up a fixed tent.

He randomly chose a tent to live with Yi Ding.

This basically eliminates the possibility of assassination, because no one can predict where he will live.

There are hundreds of tents in a thousand barbarians, and the assassins can't find each tent one by one.

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 return to the palace in the future, and the guards at that time will talk about it at that time, and I should do the current thing first.

Neither Gao Qiqian nor Lu Jiude knew about these thoughts, only Wang Chengen knew about them.

Lu Jiude glanced at Ba Hanzhen and Yi Ding in the tent, and then said: "Ba Jue and the others are all warriors, so they don't know how to do the work of serving people, so we have to serve them as domestic slaves."

Chongzhen smiled, and suddenly asked: "Lu Banban, I heard that Shi Kefa and the others originally wanted to make King Lu the supervisor of the country, but you asked Huang Degong, Liu Liangzuo, and Gao Jie to push King Fu on?"

"Long Live!" Lu Jiude knelt down in fright.

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

Unexpectedly, Long Live Lord Xuan suddenly launched an attack at this time.

Chongzhen snorted lightly, and said again: "Lu Banban, your name is wrong, I am just the Supreme Emperor."

"Long live, this old slave will die!" Lu Jiude was so frightened that he kowtowed repeatedly, "This old slave will die!"

At this moment, Gao Qi sneaked into the account and reported: "Long Live Lord, Wang Zuntan and the others have escorted Liu Zeqing here."

Chongzhen threw away Lu Jiude, who kowtowed like garlic, and lifted the curtain to leave the tent. He saw a middle-aged general in mountain armor kneeling outside the camp gate with his hands behind his back. a general.

With the help of memory, Chongzhen quickly recognized that the general in front was Liu Zeqing.

Because Liu Zeqing had kowtowed several times to the face of the que, and even stayed in the capital in the ninth year of Chongzhen.

Seeing Chongzhen, Wang Zuntan, who was kneeling behind him, saluted in unison: "Your servant will kowtow to the Holy Majesty."

Liu Zeqing also grabbed the ground with his head in a very embarrassing situation, and shouted: "My minister Liu Zeqing kowtows to the Holy Majesty."

"Liu Zeqing, I waited hard for you guys in the capital." Chongzhen sighed and said, "Unfortunately, until the thieves broke into the capital, I didn't expect you guys to come."

"Besides, you are too bold and reckless."

"Han Ruyu was actually killed in the case of Bingke."

"Han Ruyu is an imperial envoy who was ordered to go to Jiangsu and Zhejiang to supervise the payment."

"Even dare to kill imperial envoys, do you still have me in Liu Zeqing's eyes?"

"It's fine to kill the imperial envoy, but you still dare to burn, kill and loot all over the place!"

"You are the commander-in-chief of the Ming Dynasty, but you actually harmed the people instead!"

"I'm guilty of death." Liu Zeqing exchanged tears, "This crime deserves death."

Chongzhen said: "Listen, Liu Zeqing, I will not kill civil servants and generals for no reason, let alone kill officials who have made great contributions to the country and society, but the crimes committed by you, Liu Liangzuo, and Gao Jie cannot be redeemed by a hundred deaths. I can't protect you, and I have no qualifications to forgive you on behalf of the people who died in vain."

What Chongzhen said was actually for Wang Zuntan, Zhang Guozhu and the others.

Including the wife, children, and children who let Gao Jie off before, it was also done for Li Chengdong, Hu Maozhen and the others.

Chongzhen wants to use practical actions to tell Li Chengdong these generals that I will not kill people casually, let alone engage in unlimited copying and implicating people. Gao Jie, Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo deserve to die. If you obey and harm the people, then I will only use you.

As expected, after hearing what Chongzhen said,
The expressions of Wang Zuntan, Zhang Guozhu and others obviously relaxed.

It seems that the Holy Majesty is still restrained and will not expand without limit.

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

Seeing Liu Zeqing's headless corpse lying in front of them, Wang Zuntan and others couldn't help but tremble.

Gao Qiqian reported the name of the person in a low voice, Chongzhen nodded and said: "Wang Zuntan, Zheng Longfang, Yao Wenchang, Ma Huabao, Bai Yongfu, Yu Shaoxun, Zhang Shiyi, Gao Jinzhong, Huang Zhongse, Zhang Guozhu, listen, I will now order you to help suppress Xuzhou Commander-in-Chief, go back and straighten out the soldiers and horses, and follow me to Xuzhou."

"The ministers and others take the order!" Wang Zuntan and others agreed in unison.

It wasn't until this time that Wang Zuntan's heart fell to the ground.

Wang Zuntan and other ten generals were sent away, and Chongzhen returned to his tent.

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

"Okay, stop knocking." Chongzhen said coldly, "If people see it, they will think that I have abused the slaves."

"Long Live Lord, I know I'm wrong, I really know I'm wrong." Lu Jiude cried bitterly, "You can spare the life of this old slave, Lord Long Live, please spare this old slave."

Chongzhen said in his heart, it is absolutely impossible to forgive you if you are spared.

But saving your dog life can also come in handy.

After all, these house slaves are not threatened by Gao Jie and Liu Zeqing, so they will be kept for now.

At that moment Chongzhen said: "I will spare your life for the time being, but listen carefully, your dog's life belongs to me, and I can take it whenever I want."

"Thank you Long Live, thank you Long Live."

Lu Jiude suddenly wept with joy, saying that his old life was saved.

Gao Qiqian gloated and said, "From now on, be careful when you talk and do things."

Chongzhen turned his head and said to Ba Hanzhen: "I will pass on my will, and the whole army will break out of the camp immediately. As soon as Wang Zuntan and other ten town commanders arrive, they will immediately go up to Xuzhou along the Yellow River North."
