Zhou Yuji led his army to the front of Da'ankou Pass.
The square in front of Guanqian was a mess, filled with all kinds of discarded rags and materials. Lost shoes, tattered clothes, half-burned wood, tattered tents, and dead animals.
There were also some abandoned old, weak, sick, disabled and wounded soldiers lying under the trees, wailing and cursing at the people who abandoned them.
"Commander, if you close the door or leave it open like this, is there any fraud?" said Mr. Qian Hongyuan.
"The whole army has been defeated like a mountain, so why are you trying to trick an empty city? You lead five hundred people into the city." Zhou Yuji said coldly. He hurriedly and slowly let them run away.
Huang Tengyuan and Tong Jianye had been identified by Jinyiwei as the leaders of the largest group of rebels. Both of them ran away, which made Zhou Yuji very angry.
After a while, Hong Yuan ran back panting.
"Commander, everyone has escaped. The city is empty. The granary inside is also empty."
Zhou Yuji looked up at the sky under the scorching sun and murmured: "This is when we leave the customs. After leaving the Great Wall, the sea and sky are brighter."
Without the order of the emperor and the cabinet, he could not leave the customs.
Now we can only watch the two thieves run away. Xinghe Tuanlian is also here and cannot leave the border to pursue them.
"Today the army is camping in Guancheng, and the whole army is very tired. We will repair here for a few days and wait for His Majesty's orders." Zhou Yuji said.
"Well, sir, what should we do with these wounded soldiers and their rebellious family members?"
"Treat the wounded soldiers if they can be treated. As for these thieves, give them some food first and keep them in custody until the Jin Yi Guards come to deal with them."
After Zhou Yuji regained Da'ankou, he immediately sent an urgent letter to the emperor Liubaili. The counter-rebellion had been completed. All the lost territory had been recovered. More than 30,000 rebels were captured and 23,000 beheaded. More than a dozen prefectures and counties in Ji Town were affected.
, the losses are still being counted.
Two days later, it was morning time, and Chongzhen sat on the dragon chair in the Qianqing Palace with a tired look on his face. He looked at the ministers below shirking their responsibilities with cold eyes.
The Jin Party, the Lu Party, the Zhejiang Party, the Chu Party, etc. are all attacking the Donglin Cabinet. There are too many problems with the Qing army, which led to the Jizhen riots. They impeached the Donglin Cabinet and asked the Donglin Cabinet to step down. Re-elect the cabinet.
member.
The Jin Party was the most violent, insisting on the prosecution of Li Banghua, who presided over the Ministry of War, and Qian Longxi, the deputy minister of the cabinet.
Chongzhen was upset, but he couldn't express it.
These bastards know clearly that the Qing army is my intention, but they still hold on to it. Isn't this embarrassing for me?
People like Donglin are also very excessive. Who are they using? If they hadn't been greedy for military pay, how could they have caused such a big thing.
You treat soldiers as animals, worse than animals. At least the common people still care about animals. They even give them some beans to eat when plowing the fields.
You want the horse to run, but also want the horse not to eat grass. You are really stupid. Have you read all the books of the sages into the dog's belly?
He always talks about benevolence, righteousness and morality, and his people are all moral gentlemen, so he is full of justice.
But I asked Tushan to check them out, and they were covered in shit.
Even worse than the Eunuch Party. At least the Eunuch Party's corruption is still visible. These people want fame as well as they are greedy for ink. It makes people feel disgusted to see them.
He suddenly remembered what Yang Fan said to him. The reason why mosquitoes are annoying is not that they suck human blood, but that before sucking human blood, they must first buzz about why they need human blood to suck.
Great principle.
Moreover, Chongzhen also understood clearly that the abilities of these people were worrying.
I usually have a higher profile than anyone else. When it's my turn to do things, I avoid snakes and scorpions one by one. What I do with all my strength is nothing but chicken feathers.
Chongzhen began to consider whether it was a mistake to use this group of people in the first place.
"This time, the rebellion occurred in Ji Town, the largest town in the world. It poisoned millions of people and affected more than ten states and counties. More than 70,000 soldiers were lost. The 100,000 troops in Ji Town were almost wiped out. Such a huge failure, does the cabinet need to
Do you need to be responsible? Does the Ministry of War need to be responsible?"
Li Banghua retorted with a red face: "The officers who rebelled this time are all from Shanxi. Who knows whether there is any ulterior motives behind you. The current situation in the Ming Dynasty is that if the army is not dismantled, the finances will go bankrupt. Although a certain
I don’t recognize the ability, but at least a certain company is a person who does things and is not a fart. Apart from criticizing this and impeaching that, can you solve even one problem?"
"Huang Tengyuan was transferred from Taiyuan, but as for Tong Jianye, he went to Liao Town. Now Dongchang has found out that he is a slave-building spy. Governor Ji Liao is the person you recommended. You say we are behind the scenes, and we also say
You are colluding to create slaves."
"You..., you... are so angry that I'm so angry." Li Banghua was speechless and almost fainted.
"Your Majesty, I impeach Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Jiliao. He secretly negotiated peace with Hong Ji (the name of Huang Taiji in the Ming Dynasty), and the two sides were involved in smuggling trade." Then Tian Ning came out and said loudly.
There was a loud bang in the court hall, like a huge boulder being dropped into a calm lake.
The ministers were all talking about it. This was no joke, it was a ground-breaking event. The border commander colluded with the enemy and negotiated privately. This was a major crime against the nine tribes.
Although Tian Ning is the censor, he can hear about things happening. But it depends on what the matter is.
Don't dare to talk nonsense about such a major military matter, otherwise His Majesty and the Cabinet will definitely make him suffer.
Chongzhen was lying on the dragon chair with his eyes closed and meditating. At this moment, he suddenly sat up and said loudly: "Do you have any evidence?"
Tian Ning slapped his neck and said loudly: "I have evidence. He hid a man named Bai Lama Zang in the army. This white lama came from the subordinates of Wengniu Tebu Zanghua in Taining. This man has been more than ten years old.
Over the past few years, he has been traveling between the Inner Khalkha Alliance and Shenyang, working as a go-between and doing espionage. I don’t know why Inspector Yuan hid him in the camp.”
This matter immediately attracted Chongzhen's attention. He immediately became energetic. He turned around and whispered to Wang Chengen: "Immediately ask Tushan to send people to Ningyuan to search for this white lama and bring him back to me. He must be brought back alive."
After Wang Chengen bowed his head and accepted the order, he turned around and left.
As soon as these words came out, Qian Longxi was shocked. He didn't know about this, and Yuan Chonghuan had never told him. What did Yuan Manzi mean? He began to worry.
From his experience, if there is a possibility that things will go bad, no matter how small the possibility is, it will always happen.
Sure enough, Tian Ning continued: "Supervisor Yuan reported to the court that he would expand the cavalry by 30,000 people. He purchased the required horses from Lin Dan Khan. However, he kept delaying the decision because the price of the horses was not suitable. He also wanted to use this to blackmail Lin Dan Khan.
But the 30,000 cavalrymen allocated by the imperial court were paid according to the cavalry. And those reserve cavalry who did not receive horses were paid according to the infantry or the cavalry. Where did the difference go?
The pay of cavalry is seven times that of infantry. The whereabouts of such a huge military expenditure are unknown, and I ask your Majesty to investigate the matter thoroughly."
There was another bang in the court, and no one saw the money. Could it be that the Nanbarbarian had eaten it all by himself? He could still play like this, and the person named Yuan really spent more and more money.
