The white porridge and pickled mustard is enough, why am I wearing a royal robe?

Chapter 212 Killing Two Birds with One Stone

"The Stove King drove the sacred chariot toward the city. Such a huge thing created an extremely strong sense of oppression. The city walls could no longer maintain order. The soldiers were all rebels. I wanted to die for my country, but if I died, there would be no way. People can bring such important news, so under the cover of the entourage, we evacuated from Henan Fucheng," Qiu Zhaolin said while kneeling on the ground.

Although this sentence is suspected of excusing myself.

But in order to prevent the Nine Clans from being as miserable as Yang He, Qiu Zhaolin still added something.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen nodded slightly. This was indeed extremely important news, and he did not place any spies in Henan.

If the whole city was controlled by the Kitchen King, the news would not be able to spread. At most, if he knew that Henan Fucheng was captured by the Kitchen King, he would not know such details.

The surrounding generals were looking around, and the soldiers under their command mutinied. There was nothing anyone could do about it.

The pressure of the Kitchen King was so strong that they could feel it just by listening to these words, not to mention the soldiers who actually faced the Kitchen King's chariot.

The sacred chariot is so tall that it is almost like half of a city wall, and it travels three thousand miles a day. If it hits the city wall, it will easily smash the city wall.

Although the old people don't know what kinetic energy is, and what the greater the mass and the greater the speed, the greater the kinetic energy, but they know that the bigger the body and the faster something runs, the more painful it will be when it hits someone.

When he heard about the so-called magic car, he was shocked and didn't believe it, but the emperor believed it, and so did the ministers.

He said slowly, "The Stove King currently has a sacred chariot, but the day is coming and the evening is coming. If he joins forces with the Liao people, the capital will be in danger."

These words directly changed the expressions of the surrounding civil servants and generals.

Such a huge vehicle can pull many people at once.

Someone among the generals present raised this question, "Your Majesty, if the Kitchen King's sacred chariot carries soldiers and travels thousands of miles, wouldn't it start in the morning and arrive at the capital at noon? Moreover, with such a huge chariot, the capital should How to resist!"

"Is there only one of this magical car?"

Fortunately, as Qiu Zhaolin said, only ten people got on the sacred chariot, including the Kitchen King, and only eleven people. One sacred chariot could not cause any trouble.

Even if the Kitchen King is given time, it will take him several years to reach the capital, and rogue bandits often do not survive long. As long as the natural disaster is over, most of the rogue bandits will take the initiative to disarm and return to their fields.

Come to Zongdao for analysis.

Now, what is this, a magical chariot that can travel three thousand miles a day and can carry people without the need for horses.

"One car," Emperor Chongzhen murmured. He remembered that he was shocked when the news about the Stove King's magical weapons first came. At that time, according to the news, the Stove King's magical weapons were just one.

Maybe twenty, thirty, forty, fifty!
The Kitchen King has more and more sacred chariots. When the time comes, he will directly march northward. How will he resist? Can bows, arrows, firearms, and artillery threaten such a huge sacred chariot?

Such a person, even taking his son to seek refuge with the Stove King, is indeed a vicious person.

Lai Zongdao pondered for a while, "I think that at present, there are internal and external troubles, the Stove King is causing trouble internally, and there is a large army of Liao people approaching the capital. However, things have to be prioritized. Although the Stove King's sacred chariot is powerful, the Stove King is currently not We have no intention of attacking the capital, but the Liao people are already approaching the capital."

Emperor Chongzhen asked, he was frightened in his heart, how could the Kitchen King suddenly become like a true god again? The Kitchen King's magic weapon had just been revealed, and it was a more advanced firearm. What about this magic chariot, a more advanced carriage?
But there was no horse in sight either.

To be precise, this is an army that can travel three thousand miles a day and does not require much food and grass!

Emperor Chongzhen frowned, "How come the Kitchen King has no intention of attacking the capital? He divided his troops into three groups, attacking Henan and Shandong, all the way south to Xi'an. The Kitchen King already has the intention to annex the world."

How that moves.

Even if the Kitchen King is given some time, the Liao people are not needed, and the Kitchen King himself can attack the capital.

Emperor Chongzhen took a deep breath. There was no need for carts, horses, or manpower to push, and most importantly, it could still carry people inside!

"This Kitchen King has transformed, I only saw one," Qiu Zhaolin said. There is indeed only one magical car that the Kitchen King conjured, but who said that this is the only car that the Kitchen King can conjure? .

Have these moths hollowed out the inside of Ming Dynasty?

Now, the Kitchen King actually has a magical chariot that can travel three thousand miles a day. The land of Shaanxi is only so far from the capital. The Kitchen King's magical chariot can almost travel back and forth in a day.

Ministers, look at me and I look at you. The questions they heard most before in the court were what kind of disasters there are here, what kind of taxes have not been raised there, or maybe there are more serious uprisings in some places.

"So, we should first consider how to deal with the Liao people."

Such a huge sacred vehicle may not carry the ten people Qiu Zhaolin mentioned.

But now, the last time the five provinces encircled and suppressed the Kitchen King, there were more than ten magic soldiers.

A feeling of regret suddenly appeared in Qiu Zhaolin's heart. Perhaps following the Stove King was the best choice, and the emperor didn't know how to punish him.

The Kitchen King's sacred chariot is so huge that it is estimated that even the city walls of the capital cannot withstand it.

"As my beloved," he glanced at these ministers, "Do you have any good ideas?"

In recent days, the Kitchen King besieged Henan Fucheng, and Qiu Zhaolin also talked about the Kitchen King's sacred chariot.

They originally thought that the Kitchen King was still far away from them. After all, it took nearly a year for the Kitchen King to take over the land of the four prefectures. The Ming Dynasty was so huge.

Emperor Chongzhen clenched his fingers tightly, his joints turning white, "I'm afraid the Kitchen King's sacred chariot was more than one. Before, the Kitchen King's so-called magical weapons were only one, but later, there were dozens."

Yuan Chonghuan's brows had not relaxed since Qiu Zhaolin entered the court. When he heard Qiu Zhaolin say that the Kitchen King had taken the city without spending a single soldier, he was angry. From officials to soldiers in the Ming Dynasty, they had already Is that the only extent?

Qiu Zhaolin was terrified. Countless sacred chariots were walking side by side. Wouldn't it be earth-shattering? How could the capital resist, how could the Ming Dynasty resist!
Could it be that Chen Qiyu really did the right thing, and Geng Ruqi also made the right choice? Although Qiu Zhaolin and Geng Ruqi didn't spend much time together, he could also see that Geng Ruqi was smart and knowledgeable.

He is really not a god.

A galloping horse can easily kill a person, but a galloping thin man can at most injure someone.

Although he didn't want to admit it, Emperor Chongzhen knew that if the Kitchen King and the Liao people joined forces, they would really be unable to deal with it.

Anyway, it was conjured. What’s wrong with a few more? Even if it can’t be conjured on that day, it can be attributed to the gods and the power of the gods is beyond their reach. What about how many days or how many months?

Could it be that after a while, the Kitchen King’s sacred chariots will become more than a dozen?

He said slowly, "Therefore, I'm afraid there will be dozens of Kitchen King's sacred chariots in the near future."

Then I thought about it, there were so many people guarding the city in Fucheng, Henan, and the truth could be known with just a day of casual investigation.

Qiu Zhaolin should not risk being executed by the nine clans to commit the crime of deceiving the emperor.

What a magical chariot, such a thing actually exists. If it is in the hands of the Ming Dynasty, why should it be afraid of the Liao people?

Wouldn't it be easy to go deep into the grassland and destroy the Liao people?

"Your Majesty, I have a plan," Yuan Chonghuan said.

"Oh?"

Emperor Chongzhen's eyes lit up. Yuan Chonghuan had been in Liaodong for many years. Needless to say, he had military abilities. Maybe he really had a way.

"I believe that dealing with the Kitchen King is a top priority."

Yuan Chonghuan said. "No, the Liao people are already approaching the capital. Those who are close may as well attack those who are far away. There is no such truth in the world."

A minister spoke with anger on his face, "Master Yuan, this is a policy that harms the country."

Emperor Chongzhen frowned. Yuan Chonghuan's words spoke to his heart. In his opinion, the threat of the Kitchen King was already greater than that of the Liao people.

Moreover, to put it bluntly, the Kitchen King was a subject of their Ming Dynasty and was born with the blood of the Han family.

The Liao people were boycotted by the Han people.

When the Kitchen King plundered the Ming Dynasty, he had a natural advantage over the Liao people.

"Let Mr. Yuan continue speaking first."

Yuan Chonghuan has dealt with the Liao people for so many years and knows the Liao people best. Just now when I asked what should be done, you didn't say anything. Now, when Yuan Chonghuan opens his mouth, you jump out to object again.

Could it be that you are Yuan Chonghuan's enemy and are holding the mountain?

Emperor Chongzhen has already labeled that person and will pull him down if he finds an opportunity.

"My intention is not not to deal with the Liao people. The Liao people may be coming to the city in the near future. My intention is to let the news about the Stove King go to the Liao people." Yuan Chonghuan stared at Emperor Chongzhen, who wanted to use a move to drive the tiger away. Wolf.

Let the Liao people deal with the Kitchen King.

"Let it go to the Liao people."

Emperor Chongzhen looked at Yuan Chonghuan. He also knew Yuan Chonghuan's plan, but how could the Liao people be driven by them to deal with the Kitchen King.

"I heard that the Kitchen King can transform countless foods. The Liao land is barren, and he has gone south several times, all coveting the fertile land of the Ming Dynasty."

"The Liao people were not good at making firearms and were very greedy for the Ming Dynasty firearms. The Kitchen King happened to be able to transform into countless powerful firearms and told the Liao people about these things."

"But we can't say it directly, but we have to make insinuations to increase the Liao people's trust in this matter."

"How to do it specifically?" Emperor Chongzhen's eyes lit up when he heard this. This was a plan to kill two birds with one stone.

If it really succeeds, it will not only solve the current crisis in the capital, but also the Kitchen King.

If both the Liao people and the Kitchen King suffer losses, they can reap the benefits.

It can be said that it kills three birds with one stone.

"Sent people to spread the news, saying that we will divide our troops and horses, and some of them will go to capture the Kitchen King and use the power of the Kitchen King to deal with the Liao people. This is military information, and it has some credibility in itself."

Yuan Chonghuan said.

Stealing confidential military information and spies are completely normal.

Emperor Chongzhen suddenly realized that it was feasible. Those Liao people probably thought they had stolen some military secrets, and they must take it seriously and capture the Kitchen King before the Ming Dynasty.

Even if you believe it twice and send people to investigate the authenticity of this matter, Kitchen King's reputation is so great, and you will know after a little investigation that it is true.

The Liao people will definitely use a large army to deal with the Kitchen King. When the crisis in the capital is resolved, although the Liao people want to deal with the Kitchen King, they will definitely have to send their troops south from Datong. However, as long as the crisis in the capital is resolved, it will be worthwhile.

When the time comes when the Kitchen King and the Liao people fight and both sides suffer, they can outflank the Liao people from behind and send troops from Hubei to outflank the Kitchen King.

Emperor Chongzhen thought about what to do in an instant, and he was overjoyed. Compared with the previous situation where there was no way to do anything and it was already a dead end, Yuan Chonghuan was able to revive it with a few words!

He is indeed a fierce general who has guarded Liaodong for many years.

"Okay, just follow what Yuan Aiqing said," Emperor Chongzhen said, without even asking other ministers for their opinions.

It is enough to show that he agrees with Yuan Chonghuan's proposal.

The surrounding civil servants and generals nodded secretly, Yuan Chonghuan's strategy indeed made sense.

This is indeed the best way at the moment, and they can't think of anything else.

In the corner, a minister's eyes flashed.

It is a pity that Yuan Chonghuan died in history.

Emperor Taiji of the Later Jin Dynasty moved into the fortress, bypassed Yuan Chonghuan's defense line in Jizhou, and approached the city of Beijing. This was a change for himself.

This is the current battle in which the Qing army attacks the Ming capital.

Yuan Chonghuan repelled the Jin army at Guangqumen and Zuo'anmen in the capital, and was subsequently arrested and imprisoned by Emperor Chongzhen.

Emperor Chongzhen can almost be said to have killed the donkey.

A large part of the reason why he behaved like this was the counterintuitive tactics used by Huang Taiji.

He spread the news that Yuan Chonghuan's soldiers from Liaodong had followed Yuan Chonghuan for many years.

He even only knew Yuan Chonghuan, but not Emperor Chongzhen, and wanted to plot rebellion.

If it were the normal Emperor Chongzhen, even if he was suspicious by nature, he probably wouldn't believe it.

But this time is different.

Yuan Chonghuan came from Liaodong because of the Liao people's attack on the capital, holding heavy troops.

These soldiers originally belonged to the group that had followed Yuan Chonghuan for many years.

Lies are easiest to believe when mixed with truth.

Emperor Chongzhen, who was suspicious by nature, fell directly into the trap.

In the third year of Chongzhen, that is, next year, Yuan Chonghuan was directly executed in Lingchi.

Yuan Chonghuan, who worked hard for the Ming Dynasty and made great military exploits, died inexplicably.

"You go ahead and do it, I will fully support you," Emperor Chongzhen waved his hand. It can solve the two serious problems of the Ming Dynasty. No matter how much you have to pay, it doesn't matter.

Moreover, if these two troubles are solved, Ming Dynasty will be free from external and internal troubles, and he can directly free up his hands to properly manage Ming Dynasty's already riddled government and world society.

There is no need to be so urgent right now.

Yuan Chonghuan nodded heavily, and he also realized that this was an opportunity to completely defeat the Liao people, and it was also possible to truly eliminate the Liao people as a scourge. The key lay in the Kitchen King's magic weapon.

This is an opportunity to leave a name for the ages. What the two former emperors of the Ming Dynasty and their countless generals failed to fully achieve, it is very likely that they will be able to do it now!
