A small soldier of the frontier army in the late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 585 They Are Looking For Death!

Lao Bainiu: In the past two days, I feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach and feel drowsy. I feel much better after sleeping for a few hours in the afternoon. It seems that sleeping is a good way to cure the disease.

……

According to intelligence, after Li Zicheng surrounded Luoyang, because of Chen Yongfu's timely rescue and tight defense with the Luoyang defenders, Li Zicheng besieged with 10,000+ people. Although the battle was fierce, the city was never lost.

Of course, in the battle of Luoyang, Chen Yongfu and others also had a difficult time defending. After all, there were too many thieves. Although Chen Yongfu organized a battalion of new troops, after a short training period, the combat power could not be compared with that of Yang Guozhu, Wang Pu and others. Just hold on to it.

It was just that he couldn't attack for a long time, which made Li Zicheng very anxious. Hou Niu Jinxing offered a plan, and the Chuangjun made a feint attack on Kaifeng.

A few days later, the Chuang army marched towards Kaifeng again. Perhaps at this time, the siege of Kaifeng had already begun.

When Luoyang City fell, Fu Wang Zhu Changxun and his son Zhu Yousong hurriedly escaped from the palace under the cover of some righteous people. Because Fu Wang Zhu Changxun was fat and could not escape, he was shot to death by the chasing soldiers of the invading army. His son Zhu Yousong was lucky Fleeing, under the protection of dozens of righteous people, fled north to Shen Wang's Mansion in Lu'an Mansion.

The news of Luoyang spread to the capital, and a bucket of cold water was poured up and down the capital because of the great victory of Jinzhou. , and even killed the vassal king. This is an unprecedented event in the history of the Ming Dynasty, and it can be described as a shock in the country.

Li Zicheng was quickly regarded as a serious confidant, and the idea of ​​mobilizing frontier troops to suppress thieves revived. When Emperor Chongzhen got the news that Luoyang City was broken and King Fu was killed, he cried loudly when he summoned his ministers: "I can't protect my uncle. .”

He cried so sadly that even his royal sleeves were soaked, and when Emperor Chongzhen went to visit Concubine Liu after he retired from the court, he was exhausted and fell asleep while talking. The wear and tear was so great that the concubine couldn't help crying when she saw it.

Losing the city and falling into a vassal state is a very serious crime. Li Xianfeng, governor of Henan Province, will be dismissed immediately and arrested in Beijing. Even the chief assistant Zhou Yanru will not be able to save him. I gave Li Xianfeng a chance.

Unlucky for Li Xianfeng, there is also a large number of officials in Henan, the commander-in-chief Chen Yongfu, who will also be ordered to commit crimes and perform meritorious service to redeem themselves.

There is also Fu Zonglong, the new governor of the three sides. He has just arrived in Shaanxi not long ago. His duty is to supervise the Shaanxi soldiers as the right servant of the Ministry of War. Yes, it is also a decree to severely punish, urge and promote soldiers and other decrees.

Looking at this information, Wang Dou sighed, those things in Luoyang back then flashed before his eyes...

Although many things have changed, I still can't change the fate of Luoyang City. Perhaps, the struggle involving politics and people's livelihood is far more complicated than pure military affairs. Bandits have risen again and again, like raging fire, burning the entire northern kingdom , not without reason.

He slowly stretched out his hand, watching the fluttering snowflakes slowly melt in his palm, and remembering that the people's livelihood has withered and the refugees are everywhere along the way, he silently said to himself: "I will not give up, the road is long and long, and I will Search up and down."

On this day, as he got closer to the capital, Wang Dou suddenly got another piece of information, but it was personally brought by Liu Benshen, head of the internal affairs department of the shogunate.

This taciturn Yuan Jinyiwei Baihu, whose eyes always had gloomy gleams, was followed by a middle-aged man who was also deep. He tried to hide his figure in the dark as much as possible. If he didn't pay attention, he might ignore his existence.

There is also a smiling fat man, a tall and thin man in his 40s with raised cheekbones, a pair of triangular eyes, and raised eyebrows. This is Li Shouqin, his former entourage Wu Dazong, and the former Sergeant Qiang who did not accept the night. Lord.

They are all members of the intelligence department now, responsible for anti-spies on the East Road, strictly guarding against all kinds of spies, etc. Birds of a feather flock together, and the helpers Liu Benshen looks for are all gloomy, ruthless people.

After Wang Dou established the shogunate, the intelligence department was divided into multiple departments. On the road, it cooperated with Baojia to closely monitor any troubles. They are all within the scope of the intelligence department's detectives.

Even Wang Dou is still thinking about whether he can extend his hands and feet overseas.

Living in troubled times, Wang Dou gave them a lot of power, not to mention Qian Liang's strong support, there are even many assassination teams and anti-rape teams in the company, many of which are elite swordsmen. Of course, when these anti-rape teams are dispatched, Wang Dou also set up permissions for them.

Wen Daxing's sentinel battalion does not close at night. Although they cooperate closely with the intelligence department, in fact, they belong to the staff department and belong to the military force.

Liu Benshen came from the East Road himself, presumably there was something urgent. Sure enough, when Wang Dou received a detailed report, he was furious after seeing it. The tables and desks were overturned, and they shouted sharply: "They are looking for death!"

General Lei Ting was furious, and all the generals around him were stupefied. Even Wen Fangliang, who was usually cynical, did not dare to say a word at this time. It was Zhong Xian who stepped forward and said softly, "General, what happened?"

The message was transmitted in the hands of the generals, because of the importance of the Jingbian army's culture, the Chinese characters that used to be so big that they couldn't recognize a basket of Gao Shiyin, but now they have read ten volumes and written a thousand words.

After he read it, his face was shaking violently with anger, and he growled: "These profiteers, these sour guys, I are working hard in front, but they are copying our backyard, General, don't bother with them, we will return immediately!" On the east road, soldiers sent troops to Xuanda's various cities, killing, chopping, killing, chopping, killing...killing him with his head rolling and blood flowing!"

Shen Shiqi also said angrily: "That's right, wash Xuan Da with blood, let his blood flow like a river, let's see which thief dares to move his mind on our family property in the future!"

Han Chao and Wen Fangliang looked at each other with solemn expressions, and they looked at each other. Han Chao said in a deep voice: "General, I think it's better to calm down first. After all, it's different from what happened on the East Road back then. Be cautious."

Wen Fangliang also agreed: "At present, Jinzhou has won a great victory, and the soldiers and horses from all towns have gathered in the capital, attracting the attention of the world. It is even more important for the general to be entrusted to the Marquis. Every move needs to be carefully considered."

Zhong Xiancai just looked at Wang Dou: "No matter what the general decides, the final general will obey."

Everyone glanced at Zhong Xiancai, and praised secretly: "Little Zhong'er is getting better at talking, look at what he said, and he speaks impeccably."

Liu Benshen glanced at Zhong Xian meaningfully, then lowered his eyes as if nothing had happened.

Qin Yi, who praised the painting, also read the information, and pondered: "Indeed, as General Wen and General Han said, this time the enemy is huge and involves a lot. The reputation of the general."

Xie Yike twitched his lips: "What are the sayings, like Lao Gao and Lao Shen said, my Jingbian army's style is crisp and neat, where the banner is pointed, the ugly people will be wiped out."

Qin Yi smiled slightly, and only said to Wang Dou: "This matter is very important, please think twice before acting, General."

After being treated by doctors, Wen Daxing's injury has healed a lot, and he can sit and talk in the tent. He is the ambassador of the Intelligence Department, and Liu Benshen's information should have been passed on to him first, and then passed on to Wang Dou, but Wen Daxing let him save it. this step.

Wen Daxing lost his right arm, so it is impossible for him to concurrently serve as the head of the Sharp Whistle Camp. Although he resigned several times in Liaodong, Wang Dou would not allow him, but the situation is in front of him. It is inevitable that Wen Daxing will eventually resign. Secretary's duties.

In the past, because a lot of energy was devoted to the Spitfire Camp, Wen Daxing could not help delegating power to his opponents. After that, when he returned to the Intelligence Department, Liu Benshen and others needed to consider how to face this powerful and powerful boss.

Wen Daxing held the message in his left hand, with a cold gleam in his eyes: "The facts are very clear, all the Shanxi merchants are worried that after the general enters the town, they will follow the example of the East Road, so give us a big blow, no worse than the small ones on the East Road. Businessmen, their backgrounds are really deep..."

He counted in detail: "Except for Donglu, almost all Xuan Daguan generals are their supporters. There are also many kind people in the north and south of the river. Even in the cabinet, almost all the cabinet elders speak for them, even Chen Benbing receives a lot of respect from them every year, um, so does Mr. Ji."

"There are also the great eunuchs Wang Yumin, Wang Chengen, Wang Dehua and others from the Central Palace..."

Wang Dou sat indifferently. He knew the power of the Shanxi merchants. Since the middle of Ming Dynasty, they began to make arrangements, vigorously training the children of the clan to become officials, or to become generals in various places. Over the years, the children of each family have become There are countless officials and generals.

They also make great efforts to make friends with dignitaries from all over the world, and the means can be described as moistening things silently. These businessmen are quite intelligent. Before they made friends, they were not naked.

Which official wants to buy a field, they will secretly send the land deed without saying a word, which official will secretly send money to the children in the family who have difficulties in life, and which eunuch takes a fancy to which shop, they will buy it Next, it was delivered secretly, without even mentioning my own request.

For so many years, decades like a day, even the hard-hearted people have been moved. Who would not support such a righteous businessman?
Just say a few good words at critical moments, or do something convenient, and there will be a steady stream of benefits, benefits without cost, who would not?

They also vigorously subsidize poor scholars and education everywhere. In addition to the losses caused to the country, they can be regarded as the spokespersons of perfect characters. When mentioning these volunteers, who does not give a thumbs up and praise: "Good?"

With these benefits, even if Chen Xinjia and Wang Dehua are close to him, they may not necessarily lean to his side at critical moments, let alone the rest.

In addition, those Shanxi merchants also have many allies in the Jiangnan area. Although they have a competitive relationship with the Donglin Party consortium in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas, their views on "competing with the people" are different. is consistent.

And because a lot of grain, salt, iron, tea and other materials in the north need to be imported from the south, those Shanxi merchants and many consortiums in Jiangnan and Guangdong are competing with each other, and at the same time they have cooperative relations. It can be said that they are in the same spirit and support each other.

If you are not careful in this matter, you will be against the interest groups all over the world, and they have already taken action.

In many places in Taiyuan and Datong, various commercial houses have begun to prohibit the import of goods from the East Road. The Li family of the Zhizhou Li Zhenyu, and the Chu family of the young wife and other businesses close to the East Road have been besieged and abused on a large scale.

Many shops under each person's name were destroyed, and even family members were beaten on the street. At the same time as the beating, they also had the reputation of killing the elders in their hometown.

At the same time, there is another rumor that spreads all over Gyeonggi.
