Be the emperor from the postman

Chongzhen wanted to send eunuchs to be his eyes and ears, but no one was allowed to talk about him.

Therefore, he has always been angry with his courtiers.

Zhongguan Chen Dakui's private letter bit Cao Wenzhao first, pushing all the responsibility for the defeat of the Shanxi official army to Cao Wenzhao.

After several cabinet ministers read it, they didn't believe it.

There are too many private goods carried by individuals.

In the eyes of the cabinet ministers, the level of political struggle of these eunuchs is really immature.

Apart from relying on the emperor's trust, there is no other ability.

At first glance, he is not a person who can write memorials, and he doesn't know how to hide people on paper.

He will only export his emotions to Chongzhen.

Cao Wenzhao, the titan, they naturally want to keep it, otherwise let the eunuchs go to quell the thieves in Shanxi?

Xiong Mingyu was not kept waiting.

The joint battle report of Hong Chengchou, Chen Qiyu and others was sent to the capital.

First, they said that the two of them were the main responsibilities. They wanted to develop Zhang Fuzhen, the former governor of Yansui, as an internal response, and sent Yang Jiamo to station outside the Mengmen Pass to make tentative contacts. He didn't want to arouse suspicion. That's why He Jinzhao seized the opportunity and decided to open the Yellow River. , leading to his acquisition of a large number of ordnance.

But before that, Cao Wenzhao had killed [-] thieves in southern Shanxi, surrendered [-] thieves, and defeated the intruder Gao Yingxiang and fled to Henan in embarrassment.

He originally wanted to divide the army into three groups and swallow the hammer bandits in one go.

Eliminate all the thieves in Shanxi, report the emperor's favor, and live up to the expectations of the people of Li.

However, the hammer bandits are too cunning.

It is false to attack Hejin and cut off our reinforcements, but it is true to kill our army to suppress bandits.

When he learned that he was surrounded by the hammer bandits, Cao Wenzhao did not retreat, and loudly encouraged the soldiers:

"If we can't put down the thieves, how can we be worthy of His Majesty's trust?"

So he divided his troops into two battalions, each acting like horns.

But when Cao Wenzhao's camp was not stable, the hammer bandits suddenly attacked.

Bai Guangen only has more than [-] men under his command, all of whom were lucky enough to escape from the Yellow River. They are about to avenge the flood, so they volunteered to set up a battalion on their own.

The hammer bandits attacked Bai Guangen fiercely.

But before returning to the front, the case three.

Two hours after the bloody battle, our army was hungry and thirsty, and it was difficult to sustain.

Under the fierce attack of the Hammer bandits, the twelve captains including Bai Liangbi, who were on guard, died in a fierce battle.

The rest of the remnants were led by Bai Guangen into Cao Wenzhao's chariot battalion and continued to fight.

The hammer bandits took advantage of the situation and surrounded Cao Wenzhao's car camp for several turns.

The guerrilla Du Du (Du Laosan), who attacked from the lower reaches, led 1000 troops. He walked five miles away, waited and watched, and sent [-] people as sentries.

The timid Du Xingwen ran away after seeing our army.

It wasn't until our army chased to the vicinity of the Hammer Bandit's car camp that the Hammer Bandit He Jinzhao was furious and almost killed Du Xingwen, but was dissuaded by others, and then forced Du Xingwen to fight back against our army.

Guard Mai Jie and others couldn't resist the hammer bandit heavy encirclement, and died on the spot, and the rest of the soldiers were chased and killed five miles away.

Du Du couldn't stop the attack of the rout, so he could only withdraw his troops.

However, Cao Wenzhao fought tens of thousands of hammer bandits alone with 3000 people, killing and wounding thousands of hammer bandits.

Hammer bandit He Jinchao's three generals Liu Erhu, Liu Zongmin, and He Zan went into battle one after another.

They were all defeated, and our army continued to fight.

The hammer bandits attacked with chariots, and the two sides fired at each other with firearms, and the dead bodies lay next to each other.

When our army ran out of gunpowder, the two armies fought hand in hand.

Our infantry had few bows, Cao Wenzhao killed the bandit soldiers too quickly in southern Shanxi, and the replenishment of weapons and equipment was insufficient.

The soldiers fought with the hammer bandits with bamboo spears and waist knives a foot long, until night fell.

Cao Bianjiao personally led the elite cavalry to kill from the upper reaches, breaking through the defense line of the hammer bandit general Gao Yigong, no one could stop it.

When he saw the banner of the hammer bandit, he wanted to kill the general and capture the flag, so as to save our army's unfavorable situation.

Hammer bandit He Jinzhao's guards were unstoppable, and after stabbing Cao Bianjiao among the chaos, they were still unstoppable.

The Hammer bandit soldiers were hardened, regardless of the enemy or us, they had to fire cannons, and finally they would be shot and wounded.

Many hammer bandit soldiers surrounded him, and Cao Bianjiao, who was seriously injured and bleeding profusely, saw that He Jinzhao was hopeless for beheading the hammer bandit, so he retreated in a hurry.

The hammer bandit general Gao Yigong wanted to lead a team to intercept, but Cao Bianjiao rescued hundreds of soldiers who were cut and intercepted, rushed out of the encirclement, no one dared to pursue, retreated calmly from the upstream, and burned the pontoon bridge.

When the Hammer bandits followed up with gunpowder supplies, they continued to bombard Cao Wenzhao's car camp.

Our army fought hard for a day, but did not enter the drop of rice, could not withstand the shelling, and collapsed to the east bank.

Sixteen generals including Wang Xingshan, the deputy commander in chief, fought hard and died, and none of them surrendered.

So far, the heroic soul is still alive!
There are dead and disabled soldiers, and I am grateful to the big and small Cao generals for fighting to rescue them.

Cao Bianjiao was seriously injured and almost died, and his soldiers cried bitterly in front of the steps, unwilling to accept the reward, hoping to avenge the general!
The minister Hong Chengchou is ashamed of his trust in His Majesty and has caused such a great defeat. He is willing to resign from the position of governor of the three sides, put him in imperial prison, and obey His Majesty's order.

After reading the battle report presented by Hong Chengchou, everyone nodded repeatedly.

Hong Chengchou and Chen Qiyu "lanned" the battle report, and the results were pretty much the same.

However, some people and things have been beautified.

The achievements of Cao Cao and Cao Cao have been proved by the heads of all the thieves in Shaanxi.

"Your Majesty, my Ming army is mighty."

Minister of the Ministry of War Xiong Mingyu repeatedly praised.

Seeing such a memorial, Chongzhen also sighed.

"Defeated is glorious!"

Zhou Yanru also knew that the emperor appreciated Hong Chengchou, so he would not allow dismissal and investigation.

If Hong Chengchou is not the governor of the three sides, who else can he let go?
Not everyone has the ability to take credit for the credit there.

If you are not careful, your head will be chopped off by the hammer and kicked as a ball.

"Your Majesty, Cao Cao is indeed a brave general in my court!" Zhou Yanru immediately sang a hymn:
"Let's let the Hammer bandits run rampant for a while, and when the next time the soldiers, horses, food, and weapons are ready, they will be able to wipe out the Hammer bandits and take He Jinzhao to the capital, where they will be hacked to pieces."

"Defeated is glorious!"

Everyone's praise for the emperor was echoed repeatedly.

"Send the imperial doctor to Shaanxi to treat Cao Bianjiao. Such a brave general must not let him fall into the hands of thieves."

When Chongzhen's order was passed to the imperial hospital, many imperial doctors looked bitter. Who the fuck wants to go to Shaanxi thousands of miles away to treat people, the key is not safe.

In case Cao Bianjiao couldn't make it through, and didn't wait to arrive on the road, wouldn't he suffer in vain if he died?
"Your Majesty, you should reward many soldiers."

Then someone stood up and shouted, "The winner is not rewarded, but the loser is rewarded. If things go on like this, how can the officers win the battle?"

Because the reward was not rewarded, he fell into a quarrel again, and began to take the opportunity to attack the chief assistant Zhou Yanru.

Chongzhen's brain hurts, and he urgently needs a minister who can govern the government.

Moreover, he valued Zhou Yanru's political talent very much, so his attitude was obviously partial and he didn't want to pay attention to the officials.

Chongzhen knew that raising these officials would only talk about problems, and they would never actually solve them. They were not as important to him as Zhou Yanru.

Following the chief assistant Zhou Yanru coughing a few times, how could everyone miss the point?

The middle official Chen Dakui slandered Cao Wenzhao with his words before, but now Hong Chengchou is rectifying his name, so he must seize this point and say that His Majesty should not appoint a middle official!
Above the court, with the help of the middle official Chen Dakui and the trilateral governor Hong Chengchou because of the same incident, they began to quarrel in public according to the interests of their respective small factions.
