Be the emperor from the postman

Chapter 976

Xiong Wencan's intention is that if Zhang Xianzhong listens to the tune, I will take the credit.

If you don't listen to the tune, Yu Yinggui will be blamed.

This is when he faced the emperor internally, all the credit is mine, and the blame is all the responsibility of his subordinates.

Externally, although I paid Zhang Xianzhong a military salary, in fact Zhang Xianzhong knew the rules of the officialdom.

The military salary I give not only has a "rebate" for me, but also an extra touch-up fee!

Which official of Ming Dynasty can stand such a test?
Even if someone said that Xiong Wencan didn't know how to arrest Zhang Xianzhong and only cared about his own interests, leaving him at risk for the safety of several provinces, he might repeat Chen Qiyu's mistakes.

No one listened to such knowledgeable words in the court.

He was also ridiculed for worrying about nothing. Daming is gradually getting better. If you say that, don’t you see that Daming is doing well?

It is already difficult to leave the truth above the court.

Even Zuo Liangyu, who has always been rebellious, saw Zhang Xianzhong's "reversal", and strongly urged Xiong Wencan to launch an attack.

From the beginning of the uprising, they were not conducive to field battles, and were chased by hundreds of officers and tens of thousands of people.

Zuo Liangyu fled back to Fang County to count the number of people, and there were less than 1000 people left.

Which high-ranking official made a mistake and didn't want to take all his responsibilities?
After all, he knocked so much money from Zhang Xianzhong, and he just wanted to go back to his hometown and enjoy it.

Zhang Xianzhong posted a notice on Tongqu Avenue, announcing to the local people:
"I, Zhang Xianzhong, rebelled again, all because of the fucking force of Prime Minister Xiong Wencan"!
Zhang Xianzhong accused Xiong Wencan of being greedy, and other officials were also greedy.

When Xiong Wencan realized that the situation was not good, he exclaimed to the court that Zhang Xianzhong had rebelled.

But the imperial court doesn't trust us, and always wants to destroy the Eight Great Kings and our brothers to ask for rewards with their heads.

The entire officialdom in Huguang and other places has been corrupted by him.

After the uprisings in Gucheng and Fangxian, Wang Guangen, Wang Guoning, Hui Dengxiang, Chang Guoan, and Yang Youxian, who were "appeased" in the Junzhou area, gathered together to discuss what to do.

Although Xiong Wencan wrote a letter saying that Zhang Xianzhong was going to rebel, after the rebellion really happened, he still neglected his duties.

After Zhang Xianzhong raised his troops in Gucheng, Xiong Wencan knew that the crime of letting a tiger go back to the mountain was not to be punished, so he immediately wrote a secret report and reported it to the court, and tried every means to shirk responsibility for himself.

Zuo Liangyu and Henan deputy general Luo Dai led the troops to march against the scorching heat.

He told Zhang Xianzhong that Xiong Wencan prevented him from attacking when he had hesitated to turn his back on him, and forced him to take risks after returning to the mountain, and other misdeeds.

For all these, Xiong Wencan exaggerated and pretended to be credited first, and then concealed it and refused to report it. Isn't it deceiving the emperor?
It is well-founded.

Uprising!

But looking at it now, they were all stabbed at them with knives.

He posted the names of officials who asked for bribes, the amount and date of the bribes.

Although Zhang Xianzhong had two intentions, he did not initiate a quarrel.

After Xiong Wencan received the emperor's imperial decree asking him to perform meritorious deeds and redeem himself, he knew he was in trouble, so he didn't have the heart to review the situation at all, and forced Zuo Liangyu to take the risk to send troops.

Xiong Wencan, the person in charge of the Gucheng incident, was recommended by him, and Xiong Wencan was arrested. Who is worthy of "seeking thieves"?
Chongzhen was also considering these things. Yang Sichang's carelessness and exaggeration under the cover of his tact had already been blocked by the group to use him as a cabinet minister.

It was only at this point that Chongzhen suddenly realized that he regretted it.

In this world, the only one who can successfully trick Zuo Liangyu and make him feel ashamed is Wang Pu alone, the rest are insignificant.

It made Xiong Wencan and the civil and military officers, big and small, feel ashamed.

Chongzhen ordered him to be dismissed as a matter of fact, and soon restored him to his original position in the name of meritorious service, and his favor continued.

More than 1 soldiers died, and countless military equipment was lost.

From top to bottom, Zhang Xianzhong's gang has only one wish left:
rebel!

He ordered Xiong Wencan to be dismissed from all his official positions, and asked him to make meritorious service and redeem himself.

He destroyed the walls of Gucheng, looted warehouses, released prisoners, and raised the banner of righteousness against Ming Dynasty again.

Even if he wants to commit suicide, our insurgents must rescue him first.

After raising troops, he let out a bad breath.

Yu Yinggui himself also defended himself in the Imperial Prison.

This time was no exception. He refuted Xiong Wencan in harsh terms and reported to Chongzhen:
"Zhang Xianzhong has evil intentions, no matter the fool or the wise, everyone knows that Xiong Wencan was fooled by him.

I don't even know how you got scared by Xiong Wencan.

Now that he has corrected everything, he should not monopolize such ill-gotten gains. We and other Ming officials need to work together to pray for his disaster relief.

Although you, Zuo Liangyu, dared to fight, but you were the last to gather.

He bit his finger on the spot, made an alliance with blood, and wrote to Xiong Wencan to express his position, asking the Ming government to "divide obedience from obedience".

Don't think that Lao Zhang is uneducated because he doesn't know how to keep black books.

And deliberately "pretend to lose the second battle" to lure the enemy into deep.

If you attack rashly, the other ministries will inevitably act.

The last time the Qing army entered the fortress to convict the officials, he wanted to send all the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty to prison.

Because our Eight Great Kings wholeheartedly want to return to the imperial court and lead our brothers to live a stable life.

As soon as the command flag arrived, Zuo Liangyu had no choice but to fight in the heat of summer.

He let Luo Dai play forward, and he followed behind.

Knowing the emperor's intention, Yang Sichang immediately volunteered to ask for the supervisor, because there was no other way for him to go.

Xiong Wencan knows how to let his subordinates take the blame.

Mainly it's embarrassing.

Ma Yuanli, who was going to the county government office under Zhang Xianzhong's order, came one step later and burned down the county government office in one fell swoop, and threw Ruan Zhitian, who was still alive, into the sea of ​​flames.

I hope they can also come up with a little bit to put it on the ground first. This move has made many generals want to start a new uprising.

When the rebel army of Zhang Xianzhong arrived in Fangxian County, Luo Rucai, Bai Gui, and Hei Yunxiang immediately responded and jointly besieged Fangxian County.

If you die, you have to die at our hands, otherwise how can it be called killing officials and rebelling?
Zhang Xianzhong endured humiliation in the past year, and was blackmailed by bureaucrats at all levels of the Ming Dynasty. At that time, it was said that "Xiong Wencan blamed tens of millions of gold, pearls and precious goods".

Moreover, Zuo Liangyu was forced to stay for a farewell drink, delaying time, so that Zhang Xianzhong calmly transported weapons and food to the mountains of Fang County.

This has not waited for the fact that Yang Sichang proposed to collect taxes, otherwise the officials in Huguang will go too far.

Can this kind of thing be said on the stage?
A dog against a thief really doesn't understand the rules of officialdom.

Since the Qing army withdrew to the north, memorials to impeach Yang Sichang from officials were continuously sent to the palace, which made Yang Sichang feel restless and repeatedly prosecuted him.

Zuo Liangyu was furious: "The governor's platform is in the corner, so I can capture it. If you don't go, I will be punished for staying."

Ruan Zhitian, the county magistrate of Gucheng, knew that he was doomed, so he committed suicide by taking poison.

Zuo Liangyu was extremely shocked by Xiong Wencan's brain circuit, and retorted:
"Otherwise, rebels are good for field battles, but not good for defending the city. If they attack the unprepared by surprise, the soldiers will be frightened, and there will be no food or pay.

Zuo Liangyu, who had always been arrogant, of course didn't want to suffer for Xiong Wencan, so he wrote a memorial to Chongzhen.

A comprehensive review of the whole story of the suppression and suppression in recent years revealed that Xiong Wencan was cowardly, accommodating, and accepting huge bribes, which resulted in Zhang Xianzhong occupying Gucheng and threatening to recruit him.

Xiong Wencan kept lying to the court about the military situation, and described the hero who attacked the state and the county as a man who broke his heart.

Zhang Jinyan never let go of dereliction of duty officials.

So it's Gong Xi Fa Cai, and the money is brought.

Then put the rope back on him, let us kick the stool, and watch him die with our own eyes.

Zuo Liangyu was demoted three grades in a row, and Dai Gui reflected on himself.

"This area is full of mountains, the road is dangerous, and it is not easy to transport food, so it is difficult to catch up." Zuo Liangyu gritted his teeth and gave the direct reason.

Knowing that the officers and soldiers were playing tricks, they became a mess, the lieutenant Luo Dai was killed, Zuo Liangyu desperately broke through and returned in defeat.

Zhang Xianzhong's propaganda offensive was very effective.

Any advice that hurts the ears is no longer applicable.

It finally turned into an insurgent army that was good for field battles, and hundreds of people dared to chase down tens of thousands of officers and soldiers.

Regrettably, Chongzhen ignored it. He sent Yu Yinggui to the frontier and transferred it to Wu Guojun.

Rather than saying that they are recruiting bandits, it is better to say that they are recruiting money, which is a more correct generalization.

Once the emperor blames him, he must find a scapegoat in advance.

Back then they were all only concerned with weighing the money, thinking that Zhang Xianzhong's loyalty was a great deal.

How can this be helping the court?
They clearly wanted to put more money into their own cellars, and hoped that the court would do so.

For this kind of ruthless person, Zuo Liangyu, who was under the Ming system, had no choice but to be rebellious.

Everyone knows that Zhang Xianzhong has been the head of the thief for so many years, and he designated to plunder countless wealth.

Commander Zhang Sanxi of the Yunyang Guard of the Ming Dynasty opened the north gate and surrendered. The rebel army then occupied Fang County and Hao Jingchun was executed.

This detailed list exposes those corrupt officials who made a fortune by recruiting one by one.

Chongzhen was very annoyed, and ordered Xiong Wencan to be arrested and interrogated in the imperial prison of the capital. He should be killed.

When you should be obedient, you are rebellious, and when you should not be obedient, you are really fucking obedient.

When the imperial court urgently mobilized Sichuan-Shaanxi troops to encircle and suppress Yunxiang, Zhang Xianzhong had already taken the lead in raising troops in Gucheng, beating Xiong Wencan too late and reaping the consequences.

Yang Sichang also recommended Chen Xinjia as Minister of the Ministry of War.

For the sake of money, Xiong Wencan was perfunctory.

The rest of the people were really taken aback by him.

Especially after he gave Xiong Wencan a bribe, he told his subordinates that all the money would be given away.

It is said that the momentum of rushing to the mountains and valleys is like a mouse fleeing poorly, and it is said that supporting a strong army and carrying a different ambition is not revealing.

Hao Jingchun, magistrate of Daming County, and others fought stubbornly. Five days later, the city was powerless to resist.

Zhang Xianzhong waited for work with ease, and set up an ambush in Luohou Mountain, eighty miles west of Fangxian County.

Why?
The soldiers under Zhang Xianzhong's command also made no secret of their plans to revolt.

In the early days when Xiong Wencan became prime minister, why did you lose your arrogance?

He heard that Zuo Liangyu was going to send troops to pursue him, so he deliberately disclosed the news to Zhang Xianzhong.

After the official army entered the ambush circle, the rebel army gave an order to surround all the official army.

Instead, he detained the pay officer and sought the post of general soldier in Huguang. Now he has built a pontoon bridge across the Han River.

In other words, Ming officials were actively corrupted.

Wang Guangen bluntly said that "the big men set up their own families", and refused to raise the banner of righteousness with Zhang Xianzhong, Luo Rucai and others.

Xiong Wencan regarded him as the first to defend Jingxiang; Zhang Xianzhong not only refused to dispatch officials, but

Xiong Wencan doesn't even need to move the little money we have worked so hard to get for so many years, so we have to give him the accumulated wealth obediently.

Compared to the days when he was put in a bad position some time ago, he can be regarded as dying to repay the king.

After so many years, the image of the rebel army in the eyes of the officers and soldiers has finally changed.

All these kinds of unethical decorations are extremely deceiving, and I hope His Majesty will punish them severely! "

We and the rebel army will never allow Daming's dog officer to commit suicide!

The steps of killing officials are very important.

Even the commander-in-chief's defense didn't know where to throw it.

What Xiong Wencan said made him speechless, so he had to try hard to persuade him not to use soldiers.

If you can't win, you will lose a lot, so it's better to take your time.

The soldiers were hungry and picked wild peaches and dates from the mountains along the way for food.

After Zhang Xianzhong raised his troops in Gucheng and defeated Zuo Liangyu, the rebel forces who had been recruited responded one after another. They were not the blood alliance of Wang Guangen at all, and the situation of Ming's recruiting took a turn for the worse.

Starting from Xiangyang, the officers and soldiers only had to walk for two days before they could not provide food.

Zhang Xianzhong not only prepared various materials, but also recruited more than 1 victims from Henan.

It's useless to stay in the court, Xiong Wencan's position is still vacant.

In fact, he didn't set up any family, but he just got into the wealthy family and acted as a watchdog, and he was a mother if he had milk.

Xiong Wencan doesn't care about that, I still have Shangfang's sword, how dare you disobey orders?
Although His Majesty has deprived me of my official position and asked me to take the blame and make meritorious service, if I have no meritorious service to make, I will also drag you when I die.

Zhang Xianzhong recruited refugees in Gucheng, bought soldiers and weapons, and everyone knew that he was unpredictable.

Constantly asking officials to offer rewards for him, clever rhetoric to cover up the traces of killing and robbing, and immediately blocked his mouth if he discovered his conspirators.

It's better to let him go out to supervise the teacher. If he succeeds, he can thank the world and show his original intention of caring for Yang Sichang.

Zuo Liangyu is such a master, he has always cheated others, and he is rarely cheated by others, so he can tell it at a glance.

When Yang Sichang rejoiced that he could be freed from military affairs, news spread that Zhang Xianzhong had rebelled against Gucheng, which prevented him from getting a good night's sleep.

Now Xiong Wencan's name is added to the list.

When the ministries wait and see, they will not be in the same mind. The bandits are few and we are all together. The bandits are scattered and we are united. "

Zhang Xianzhong also truthfully pointed out: the only person who does not receive loyalty money is Xiangyang Taoist Wang Ruizhan.

Some killed the army horses and ate them, and some even ate the leaves. They didn't arrive in Fang County until ten days later.

Wang Guangen said to the crowd: "Big husbands have their own families. Now we offer our loyalty and rebellion, and our generation will also rebel. It is out of his pants, and I will not do it."

Before Zuo Liangyu made a move, Zhang Xianzhong took the lead.

Because of Yang He's letter, he couldn't sleep well, and now it's even more difficult to fall asleep at night.

Facts have proved that what Yu Yinggui said in the letter to Xiong Wencan that "sacrificing loyalty will lead to rebellion" is prescient.

This move also let the world know the truth about Xiong Wencan's so-called solicitation.

Since my father said that the hammer bandits are very strong, then I will practice with Zhang Xianzhong first!
Chongzhen made a decision to send Yang Sichang as Xiong Wencan's supervisor.

He wrote down the following decree in Yang Sichang's pleadings:
"Auxiliary officials have repeatedly pleaded guilty, and their sincerity has become more and more sincere, especially the meaning of abiding by the law.

But now the rebels are rampant, the prime minister is resigned, and the assistant ministers are talented and knowledgeable people to do this job, but the stars can go on for generations, quickly spread the demon atmosphere, and save the people from fire and water.

On the day of triumph, you will be rewarded.Shangfang sword is still given, and the soldiers and horses of the provinces are supervised. From the governor's town down, all listen to temperance, and the vice-counselor and down are given swords.
