Chapter 503: Devils dance

After Governor Chen took office, he governed the military affairs of Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan, Huguang and Sichuan. He advanced to Junzhou and mobilized all the generals to siege the bandits. Almost overnight, all the bandits who were recruited were rebelled and everywhere

Fengyan, the core figures of the bandits in the late Ming Dynasty were not Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng, and Zhang Xianzhong, but Luo Rucai, nicknamed Cao Cao. The bandits all had nicknames from the world, and Luo Rucai was known as "Cao Cao", and was very strategic. The joint combat of the Thirteen Factions was Luo Rucai's opinion.

The thieves imitated the heroes of Liangshan, including seventy-two Tiangangs and thirty-six Earthly Demons. They were really a group of demons dancing around.

Luo Rucai was good at harmonizing the relationship between various ministries, so everyone was willing to cooperate with it. After conquering the city, everyone would share their children's wealth and property, and there was also a way to steal. Usually, there were only three or five hundred defenders in a county, and hundreds of thousands of thieves were often involved.

The official army cannot defend the city. Luo Rucai and Gao Yingxiang cooperate the most, and they are all old people. Gao Yingxiang used to be a horse thief.

Luo Rucai likes luxury, and is a rich nouveau riche. He will never surrender after enjoying enough. In the past, Luo Rucai couldn't marry a wife. After becoming the leader of a thief, there were no less than a hundred beauties around him, all of them were as beautiful as flowers and jade. This is what Luo Rucai likes

Reasons for being a thief. "Robbery the rich and help the poor" and "Perform the Way for Heaven" are just a slogan. It is good to be able to protect yourself. They are all mobs who do not give in to each other and do not save each other from defeat. They gather together to fight the family and rob the house.

No other purpose.

This new general, Lord Chen, is a true remnant of the Donglin Party. He was once a close comrade-in-arms of Yang Lian, a general of Donglin during the Wanli period.

Mr. Chen was a Jinshi in the 44th year of Wanli, and was the first to be the magistrate of Luoyang. In the early years of Tianqi, he was promoted to the position of the chief clerk of the Lishui Department. When Yang Lian impeached Wei Zhongxian, Qi Yu also wrote a letter to criticize Zhongxian. Later, somehow, the remnants of Donglin were remnants.

From the left-level minister of the Husband and the left-level minister was appointed as the deputy envoy of Shaanxi and promoted to the right-level political sect. This is also the norm in the Ming Dynasty officialdom. In addition to party struggles, there are also complex and complicated teacher-student relationships and fellow townsmen. Killing is inseparable from killing.

This Donglin remnant was promoted to the Censorate in the first year of Chongzhen, and soon served as the Left and Right Governor of Shaanxi. In the third year, he was promoted to the Right Censor and replaced the Governor of Zhang Fuzhen, Yan Sui. At that time, the Great Thieves, Yi Kui, was not stuck in mud, etc.

They have been executed, but they still have many remnants. The local year is not good and the famine is serious. Many people followed the bandits.

In the third year of Chongzhen, Chen Qiyu wrote a letter to tell the serious situation of famine and thieves between Fuzhou, Yan'an and Zhencheng, and Emperor Chongzhen issued an edict to exempt Tian Zu from Yan'an and Qingyang areas. Qiyu then sent deputy general Lu Wenshan to attack.

, killed Jieshanhu, Liu Dazhi, Jinfeng Peng and others.

Qi Yu then wrote a letter saying: "The root cause of the thieves' rebellion is that they have poor years and famine is forced to be incited and tempted by the evildoers, so that the two palaces and three groups have become robbers' nests. Now we have not lost a soldier,

Without breaking a bowstring, more than 170 thieves and their gangs were captured and killed. If the leaders were removed, the remaining parties would naturally disperse. Those who used to cut wood and riots would be rioted now.

I went to farm with a hoe and a rake on my back."

Emperor Chongzhen was indeed fooled by Lord Chen, and believed the nonsense of Lord Chen and used it with great importance.

This Chen Shishi was in charge of military power, and his strategy was naturally different from his predecessor Yang Sichang, and he was not a fool. Yang Sichang's strategy was to use comfort instead of suppression, and the strategy of his successor Chen Shishi changed, becoming to killing only the evil ones and followers

If you don't investigate, the bandit leaders from all walks of life are like cutting leeks. After cutting, they will grow one more quickly. The fate should not be too good. The chaos in the north is in a thousand miles of naked land. How can you calm down by killing a few bandit leaders.

.

At this point, Ma Cheng knew that the chaos in the Ming Dynasty was beyond cure. The Ming Dynasty had missed the best opportunity to eliminate the rebellion. The so-called chaos should be used for heavy punishment. If Yang Sichang was in charge of the army two years ago, he could make up his mind and put the 36th battalion.

If all the bandits were killed, how many more years could the Ming Dynasty last. How many people could there be for the so-called bandits? The opportunity for the Ming Dynasty to eliminate the rebellion was ruined by Yang Sichang.

Now General Chen is ambitious and dispatches troops to send troops to the Fourth Governor's Association in Junzhou.

Ma Cheng held Lord Chen's battle report in his hand, and his mouth twitched straight. This is a lion fighting against a rabbit. Is the tiger going down the mountain? Supervisor Chen is so powerful. The Supervisor Chen personally led an army of 30,000, winning seven battles and beheaded

Five thousand, this Lord Chen was so anxious that he went up the mountain to fight tigers and chased chickens down the mountain. He led a large army to bite the big bandits and beat them up. He was really a headless fly. However, the so-called bandits lies in the word "Flower"

, This style of playing is really stupid.

If Ma Cheng was asked to be the supervisor, he would not be so irritable. The bandits would be invincible. It was a stupid tactic for the main army to chase and fight fiercely. It would only force the bandits to scatter and flee, making the war and plague like a plague.

Can it be called a bandit if it expands and does not roam? The best way to deal with bandits is to encircle iron barrels, and they will come together from all directions like driving ducks, and finally gather and annihilate them.

Ma Cheng had no words to say to the literati who led the troops to fight in the Ming Dynasty.

After Ma Cheng pondered, he wrote a letter to Fu Zonglong, who was stationed in Shaanxi, and asked him to slowly travel from Shaanxi to stop robbing the military achievements of the Supervisor. The eight thousand elite soldiers under Fu Zonglong were extremely powerful, so this army could not be allowed to do so.

The Chief Chen army was separated, so there was no need to show off. I think Fu Zonglong knew it in his heart and knew that if he did not work hard, he would influence his military pay. The source of military rations was the Chang family and Zhou family in Shanxi, so he did not have to be controlled by Chen Qiyu.

The Chang and Zhou family's business grew bigger and bigger, and they had become the leader of Shanxi merchants, and it was not difficult to raise 8,000 soldiers and horses.

After thinking about it, he wrote two letters to the Chang and Zhou clans in Shanxi, and ordered them to send people to purchase grain and good varieties. He followed Fu Zonglong's army and helped refugees every time he recovered a place, he distributed good varieties. Drought-resistant crops in this era

There are not only sweet potatoes, potatoes, millet, sorghum, buckwheat, beans, and drought-resistant crops that are simply too many kinds.

After thinking about it, Ma Cheng ordered people to send some sweet potato seeds to Fu Zonglong and try planting them in Shaanxi area.

Sweet potatoes are so famous in the prosperous era, Ma Cheng is also interested in trying it out, whether sweet potatoes can save the country. The light cavalry sent out several secret letters, Fu Zonglong was careful to understand, and eight thousand elite soldiers slowly came from Shaanxi to provide relief to the victims along the way to distribute good varieties. Many along the way were

With no land, the chaos should be eased wherever the army passes. This is a good way to save the world. As for the army of the five provinces commanded by Chen Qiyu and Chen Dashi, let him go.

Supervisor Chen likes to command a hundred thousand troops to chase the enemy and eat dirt behind the butts, who can do anything to him?

Ma Cheng was already tired of these stupid and arrogant literati. This idiot who didn't know how to fight at all, just look at the map and you will know that this idiot will only force the bandits to move to the western Chu of Henan, where the Ming army has weak strength.

The north, the branches were interspersed between Henan, Chu, Sichuan and Shaanxi to carry out guerrilla mobile warfare. There would be no good life in the four provinces of Henan, Chu, Sichuan and Shaanxi, and more than 100,000 Ming troops could only be exhausted.
