Be the emperor from the postman

Chapter 334 Governor of Shanxi Asks Cao Wenzhao to Exterminate Thieves (Third Change)

Regarding this matter, the ministers did not dare to speak easily.

Cheng Jiming, the Chief Assistant Minister, dared not speak anymore. If he dared to speak again, not only would he not be able to keep Qian Longxi, but he would have to get involved himself.

The main reason is that defending Yuan Chonghuan would offend the emperor, but agreeing to execute Yuan Chonghuan would be detrimental to the court.

The ministers had no choice but to keep silent and obey the emperor's decision.

After all, it is the king who wants the minister to die!
Seeing that no one objected, Chongzhen thought that all the ministers agreed, so he began to announce: "Zhe it according to the law!"

It is Lingchi execution.

"As for Yuan Chonghuan's wives, concubines, children and brothers of the same birth who were exiled two thousand miles away, the rest will not be held accountable."

The chief minister of the cabinet, Cheng Jiming, took the lead in thanking him.

Chongzhen was very satisfied with the situation in front of him, and asked again: "Is there anything else you want to add?"

Second assistant Zhou Yanru said: "Please execute immediately."

Emperor Chongzhen nodded, and immediately asked Tu Guoding, the servant of the Ministry of punishment, to go to prison.

After Zhou and Wen entered the cabinet, they jointly controlled the government, persecuted Qian Longxi behind the scenes, and attacked the Donglin Party.

After Qian Longxi resigned, the first assistant became Cheng Jiming, and then he ordered people to attack Cheng Jiming, telling him to leave too. The first assistant was not something he could do.

Now that Zhou and Wen are weak, they dared to start a war with the Donglin Party of Zhongzhengying Dynasty, so they were loved by Chongzhen, who didn't like to form a party.

Zhou Yanru and Wen Tiren teamed up temporarily, but it was not of one mind, because later Zhou Yanru found that Wen Tiren was more favored by the emperor.

Although there is an age gap between the two, Wen Tiren is better at making himself look like Emperor Chongzhen.

The emperor is self-sufficient, headstrong, mean and ungrateful, and likes to play tricks on his cleverness. With Wen Tiren's catering, Chongzhen will only feel that he has found a confidant.

Yuan Chonghuan didn't expect that he would die, so he was directly dragged to Caishikou, Xishi.

Under the propaganda of Zhongzheng Yingchao, the people in the capital who had been ravaged by the Tartars were naturally full of hatred for Yuan Chonghuan.

There are also many noble families, eunuchs, etc., whose Zhuangzi outside the city were all robbed, and the losses were naturally great.

He had a lot of resentment towards Yuan Chonghuan. In short, it was Yuan Chonghuan's responsibility that the Golden Tartars looted their property after liberation.

Cutting off a piece of meat, the people of the capital competed with the executioner to eat it raw.

When the executioner cut up the meat and threw it away, some people couldn't grab it and began to buy it with money. A lot of copper coins and broken silver were scattered on the execution platform.

There are even golden beans.

Someone got a piece of Yuan Chonghuan's intestines, drank soju and ate them together, blood flowed from his mouth, and still cursed Yuan Chonghuan for a good death.

As for the bones, they didn't escape either, they were directly chopped up with a knife and axe, and all the bones and flesh were gone, leaving only one head, which was marinated and passed on to Jiubian.

The head will end up with Xiong Tingbi!
If he is lucky, He Jinzhao might be able to wait for Yuan Chonghuan's head to travel to Shanxi Town, take a look around, and then go to Yansui Town.

Yuan Chonghuan was killed, not because he was defeated, but because Chongzhen was used by others to clear the way for the chief assistant to join the cabinet.

Chongzhen was foolish and self-serving, and all the ministers acted impulsively. They all lacked knowledge of Jianzhou and were too suspicious of the border officials who could resist the captives.

Yuan Chonghuan was killed, and the people in the capital praised His Majesty for his wisdom.

After Emperor Chongzhen received feedback from the people in the capital, he was full of joy and felt that he had killed the right man. He had to take this opportunity to educate his subjects:

"Yuan Chonghuan conspired against the captives, and his crime cannot be punished. You and other courtiers were blinded by him. Fortunately, I have a pair of wise eyes.

In the future, if there are cronies who seek mutual selfishness and deceive the king and neglect their superiors, this will be the same fate. "

Even though Huang Taiji led troops to the capital to plunder for several months, they didn't wake them up.

Chongzhen felt that if he changed to a Liaodong general, as long as he did not collude with the Tartars, this kind of thing could be avoided from happening again.

Just when Emperor Chongzhen was happy, he received a report from Tian Ming, the general of Shanxi Ningwuguan.

Yan defeated the Hammer Bandit and beheaded nearly [-] people, which effectively hit the Hammer Bandit He Jinzhao's arrogance and prevented him from doing anything wrong in Shanxi Town.

Hearing this news, Emperor Chongzhen was very satisfied, and he repeatedly lamented that Tian Zhaonian, who had been a frontier general of the Tian family for generations, had drunk and made a mistake, and was beheaded by the hammer bandits.

"I remember that Ma Shilong, the general soldier in Shanxi, returned to his hometown in Ningxia with illness." Chongzhen ordered:

"Let Tian Ming take over as the chief soldier, and Hu Dawei as the deputy chief soldier, to strangle the bandits in Shanxi with all our strength."

"Yes."

"Did Cao Wenzhao, deputy general of Yansui East Road, arrive in Shaanxi?"

"Back to Your Majesty, it should still be on the way."

"it is good."

Emperor Chongzhen nodded in satisfaction, already somewhat disappointed with Yang He's appeasement policy.

In particular, someone wrote to the bandits in Shaanxi that if they surrendered, they would appease them, and if they rebelled, they would be wiped out immediately.

I also said that the land of Qin and Jin is also the people of my Ming Dynasty, so let the local officials set up a lot of appeasement, and if the appeasement fails, they will be strangled again.

Chongzhen thought it was reasonable, and ordered the governors and inspectors of various places to find ways to eliminate civil unrest, and always ask the court for money. What are you doing on weekdays?
This time, Cao Wenzhao happened to be sent to kill some rioters in Shaanxi. If it doesn't work, then change the governor of the three sides.

That Hong Chengchou is not bad.

Cao Wenzhao has already brought his troops to Zijingguan, preparing to enter Datong Mansion and return to his hometown.

Then he was stopped by Xu Dingchen, the governor of Shanxi, with a few followers.

When Cao Wenzhao was crowned loyal and brave, he was called the number one good general in the Ming Dynasty. He fought in Liaodong in his early years. He experienced Xiong Tingbi, Sun Chengzong, and Yuan Chonghuan.

Last year, he followed Yuan Chonghuan into Guanqin Wang. After Yuan Chonghuan was imprisoned, he fell into Ma Shilong's eyes and had just been promoted to deputy commander.

As for the Yansui commander-in-chief, it was Wang Chengen who had repeatedly escaped from the Qing army.

"General Cao, on this trip to Shaanxi, we must pass through Taiyuan, Shanxi." Xu Dingchen asked eagerly.

After all, he, the governor of Shanxi, has never had the chance to step into Taiyuan City, and there are hammer bandits everywhere outside the city.

Go to Xuanda Governor Zhang Zongheng and cry, he won't care about you, anyway, the emperor didn't make an order.

Otherwise, he would do a lot and make a lot of mistakes. He had just taken office, so he had to be more cautious. First, he would win over Wang Xianggan's old generals. With military power in his hands, he would not be a fart if he declared what the governor said.

Then Xu Dingchen ran to Datong Mansion again, looking for the general soldier Ma Chengxi, hoping that he could come forward.

It's a pity that Hudun Tuhan, a foreigner from Datong Mansion, has been entrenched and will not leave. He wants to announce the city reward of the three towns of Datong, more than 30 taels of silver.

The court couldn't get it out at all, and only gave 1 taels of silver. Lin Danhan was very angry about this.

A trash like Tumed can get more than 30 taels. My great Lin Dan Khan, a descendant of Genghis Khan, will give this little money?
Lin Danhan has also been waiting for the weather to cool down, ready to do it himself, and enter the Datong Mansion for the New Year's Award.

Ma Chengxi had no time to intervene in the affairs of Shanxi Town.

So Xu Dingchen hurriedly stopped Cao Wenzhao. After all, the only thing he could count on was this reinforcement army going to Shaanxi.

Especially the Guan Ning army, who can fight very well. If you change the route a little bit, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone.

Cao Wenzhao stroked his messy beard and stared at him: "Is there any pay?"
