Chapter 707 Mixing good and bad will make people feel hopeful
Chongzhen was stingy and poor, and always wanted to do nothing about the world.
In terms of relevant fiscal expenditure, you can save as much as possible.
Previously, Zhang Fuzhen, the governor of Yansui, was conscripted and threw himself into the Hammer Bandit because of the two mutinies of his soldiers.
Hong Chengchou wrote a letter to hope that the court could clearly say that Zhang Fuzhen would treason and control his family behind his back, and deal with it like a black cloud dragon.
For those mutiny soldiers, many of them were due to the problem of pay. If their families were rewarded with great rewards, they would cooperate with Zhang Fuzhen and hope that His Majesty could provide support for money and food.
Fortunately, the government troops in southern Shanxi achieved great results, especially the eunuch Chen Dakui's letter of victory.
Chongzhen was so happy for a while that he immediately approved Chen Dakui's suggestion that he would send money and grain from the court. The loss along the way was too great, so the local supply should be made.
However, before Chongzhen ordered the Ministry of Revenue to raise much money and grain, Hong Chengchou's second memorial was delivered.
The Yellow River was broken, and the water flooded both Shanxi and Shaanxi. He Jinchao dug the Yellow River and Mengmen Pass, which immediately flooded more than 50,000 officials and soldiers, two or three.
This is another large sum of silver that needs pension. If you don’t even give money, the soldiers will probably find it difficult to work for the court in the future.
In addition, countless military, civil and commercial households along the coast were killed and injured, and the people moved and begged for food everywhere. If the court did not provide relief, the thieves in Shaanxi who had just been pacified would probably have more people's chaos, so they begged His Majesty to allocate money as soon as possible.
Hong Chengchou analyzed that there will be no war in Liaodong recently, and that so many people have been lost, the Liao pay can be moved to use a batch first.
In order to get money, Hong Chengchou also raised the price of He Jinchao in front of Chongzhen, and this small postman captured the King of Jin and captured Taiyuan.
He began to establish himself as the King of Hammers, belonging to the water virtue, shouting the slogan of destroying the Ming Dynasty, and he must be destroyed in time.
Regardless of whether He Jinchao did these things or not, Hong Chengchou put his hat on him.
Peng.
What Chongzhen couldn't tolerate the most was that the imperial power was trampled on by others. The last time Gao Bid broke into the imperial city, he had already issued a death order and he must be killed.
Therefore, Hong Chengchou knew that the hammer bandit He Jinchao was even more difficult to deal with, but he still sent Cao Wenzhao, who was the most capable, to beat Gao Yingxiang just to show the emperor.
"Where is Liu Yunxie?" Chongzhen put down the memorial in his hand and said, "Call me."
"yes."
Before he could wait for too long, Liu Yunxi knelt down on the ground.
"Let's see, that's what I mean for me?"
Liu Yunxie broke out in cold sweat and immediately looked at Hong Chengchou's memorial tremblingly.
The hammering bandits dug the Yellow River and flooded 50,000 official troops. It's nothing to do with me!
etc.
It is true that the Hammer Bandit is powerful in Shanxi, but I have never heard of him as the king!
If there is such a thing, is it still waiting for Hong Chengchou to report it on his own initiative?
"Your Majesty, before I returned to the capital, I never heard of him claiming to be the King of Hammer."
Chongzhen had a bad expression. In this way, it was because the postman He Jinchao was arrogant after defeating the official army, so he was known as the King of Hammers?
In the past, he conquered Taiyuan was a complete luck, and his strength was not very strong, so he was not listed as a key target.
But what about now?
First, more than 20,000 mutiny officials crossed the river to surrender to him, and then dug the Yellow River and attacked the 50,000 army.
Even in the Battle of Daling River, the Ming Dynasty only lost about 50,000 people.
How can a soldier under a bandit be stronger than Jiannu?
This thief has a good luck, and his ruthlessness has become a bit of a climate.
"The hammer bandits are going to be suppressed, but it is not possible not to suppress them."
Chongzhen asked Liu Yunxi to take this memorial to the cabinet and ask them to step up the matter.
It is naturally impossible for Hong Chengchou to report according to the actual number of people, so he deliberately said too much.
He believed that the court could give him a lot of money to actually lose, even if he didn't admit such a big failure.
Hong Chengchou also took advantage of the natural disaster to sank the books of many soldiers under Yiling, so he needed more pensions to continue to train elite soldiers.
A way to win multiple goals in one go.
Chongzhen's mood during this period was really ups and downs.
I thought Dalinghe could be rescued, but it was not rescued, but Zu Dashou returned with a false surrender.
The good news Wu Guojun blossomed on the battlefield and killed Mangourtai in formation.
I thought Hong Chengchou had pacified the thieves in Shaanxi, but Kong Youde of Dengzhou rebelled again.
Then Lao Huihui and the bandits invaded Northern Zhili, and played the slogan of breaking into the capital. They were defeated by Lu Xiangsheng and others and ran to Henan.
The good news was that Cao Wenzhao won consecutive victories after entering Shanxi, and then bad news came one after another.
First, the soldiers mutiny, then the Yellow River broke its mouth. Under the natural disaster, so many soldiers died.
During this period, Chongzhen's heart was like a roller coaster, rising and falling, angry or happy, which really made his spirit become internally fucked.
Any bad news? Even if it comes, I'm not afraid.
Chongzhen rekindled his fighting spirit and began to review memorials.
Immediately afterwards, the governor of Shanxi Xu Dingchen sent a memorial, saying that the left governor Yang Wenyue heard that Sun Chuanting, a Jinshi, surrendered to the bandits, had gone alone to persuade him, but he never returned.
"Hutu, it's really Hutu!"
Chongzhen knew that Sun Chuanting had joined the Hammer Bandits. Zhang Zongheng had reported it to him a long time ago, and also brought out a lot of news about the Hammer Bandits, saying that He Jinchao killed the gentry and robbed the gentry's wives and concubines, etc.
In fact, in Chongzhen's opinion, He Jinchao had absolutely no chance of accomplishing his success in the case of the Hammer Bandit killing the gentry.
In addition, He Jinchao was deceived by Lin Danhan of the Northern Barbarians with a fake jade seal, which really made Chongzhen look down on him.
But once King Chao claims to be the king, he must step up his extermination.
But Yang Wenyue, the Left Governor who had just been appointed, didn't know the situation. He couldn't come back alone. Who else would he have to call him?
However, Chongzhen was not worried. With Sun Chuanting on his side, Yang Wenyue could save his life.
Chongzhen decided to let Zhang Zongheng use Sun Chuanting's relationship and ask him to check whether the Hammer He Jinchao was named.
Hong Chengchou demanded too much money, and he felt that the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War could not be given for so many years, because the reward for suppressing bandits and extermination has not been fully issued.
This time, we gathered together and sent them together. After all, many people died in battle, and no one should have received the rewarded money.
"I don't believe it, and bad news comes."
Chongzhen held the memorial and then smiled on his face: "Zhu Dadian is still capable."
Zhu Dadian, who was ordered to take the crisis, assembled a 30,000 army of 5,000 Liaodong cavalry as the main force.
He took the initiative to attack, defeating the main force of the rebels who underestimated the enemy, and killing the thief general Chen Youshi.
Taking advantage of the victory, the troops divided into three groups. Jin Guoqi led his troops to Changping from the middle route, General Chen Hongfan led his troops to advance from the south route, and General Wang Zhifu and others advanced from the north route.
All the troops brought three days of grain to Shahe. Kong Youde fought and was defeated.
The army besieged Dengzhou, killed the thief commander Li Jiucheng, and almost wiped out his troops.
Wu Sangui and Liu Liangzuo performed outstandingly, and the army half besieged Dengzhou City (one side is the sea and cannot be surrounded).
Zhu Dadian specifically asked, because the court wanted to recruit appeasements and annihilate them all, what should be the orders before and after?
Time is tight, if the revenge fails, Kong Youde escapes along the sea route, and he has no choice but to ask His Majesty to make a decision in time.
The most important thing is that Lushun is gone, and the imperial court has no room for operation when implementing Xiong Tingbi's plan to restore Liao.
