Chapter 854: If you don’t have a war, you will argue first (two in one)

I thought Chen Qiyu could use it for him after he dealt with the bandits such as Li Zhang, and he would follow the plan step by step.

These days, Chongzhen was dreaming about the revival of the Ming Dynasty every day.

As a result, he was suddenly hit so hard, how could he not be angry?

His mentality exploded. Even though he paid attention to his temper on weekdays, he couldn't help but explode in this matter.

After all, he nodded in agreement on the tutoring matter, and it is impossible to shirk responsibility to others now!

The most important thing is that Chen Qiyu also gave him enough reasons. The responsibility is not on their heads, but on the executioner below.

There is nothing wrong with recruiting and pacifying the overall situation, but the mistake is on the executioner and has nothing to do with him as the decision-maker.

How can there be a trace of unstable and corrupt reputation on the head of the Lord of Revival?

Chongzhen held a special court meeting for this purpose and promoted Li Qiaoji, the left governor of Shaanxi, to take over as the governor of Shaanxi.

Originally, the hammer bandit He Jinchao, who was in Shanxi, was waiting for an opportunity to fire a cannon in Shaanxi, but Hong Chengchou reported it to him. The matter of asking the court to allocate funds made Chongzhen unhappy.

Now the duck that he got flew away again. He was so angry that he was about to explode with Chen Qiyu's memorial.

Taking advantage of this court discussion, Wen Tiren and other cabinet ministers asked His Majesty to lay off 20,000 border troops and raise 250,000 taels of new funds.

Wen Tiren only wanted to abolish the border troops. If the 20,000 people's empty salary was lost, or the 20,000 real border troops were seriously removed.

The Ming Dynasty took the initiative to push a large number of border troops into the bandits, and there was no need for He Jinchao and others to fight and subdue each other.

Anyway, according to the customs of the court, you will be laid off if you want to be laid off.

As for the matter of re-employment after you are laid off, the court officials will not care about it, so go flexibly.

According to the current trend, as skilled jobs, these border troops will mostly choose to join the ranks of thieves when they are used to the knife.

Anyway, it’s not enough for the soldiers of the court, so the soldiers had to go and earn some money for the soldiers of the Hammer Bandits or other rebels.

Secretary of the Ministry of War Zhang Fengyi agreed with the scale of 20,000 border troops being abolished.

Nowadays, there are too many border troops and most of them are not trained. It is better to simplify the military and streamline the government, so the court can spend less money.

He ordered the Henan soldiers, the Jin soldiers from Tongguan, Huazhou to Shaanxi, the Chu soldiers from Shangzhou, and Luonan to Shaanxi.

The Sichuan soldiers came from Hanzhong, Xing'an into Shaanxi, and all the world's strength entered Shaanxi to encircle and suppress, first destroying the thieves, then destroying the hammer bandits!

Chongzhen expressed his strong agreement with this.

Various orders from the court are still on the way.

But I am so grateful that I have crossed the Yellow River and set foot on the land of Shaanxi.

This small-scale attack on Shaanxi was to mobilize the official army.

He Jinchao did not lead the army across the river, and only brought a chariot camp with him 3,000 people.

In this way, he also captured Qingshuiying, Gushan Fort, Papaya Fort, Zhenqiang Fort, etc. on the other side of the river, and threatened the sacred wood.

The guards of Shenmu County are Jiang Xiang's brother, Jiang Rang, deputy general of Yansui.

Even though he received a letter from his younger brother, he was very arrogant and did not immediately surrender, but instead seized the city and guarded it.

Jiang asked Yang Lin to come to Yulin Guard to come and rescue him.

Yang Lin directly shrank his troops and replied to the messenger that there were Mongols attacking outside the Great Wall, so he absolutely could not distribute troops.

Ask Jiang Rang to insist on guarding the Shenmu, the three-sided governor will send troops to rescue us immediately.

Jiang Rang was so angry when he heard Yang Lin’s reply!

Fortunately, He Jinchao did not mean to attack Shenmu County, and he just wanted to consume the vitality of the official army.

Otherwise, he would not be able to defend the city at all.

He Jinchao received the latest news from Shaanxi.

Chen Qiyu gave 36,000 soldiers to the military sect, and the rest were exempted from death and asked them to return to their hometown to work as farmers.

Li Zicheng's subordinate Gao Jie led 30 cavalry to defeat Longzhou and used Chen Qiyu's hand-in-hand mandate to gain the trust of the local magistrate.

After hearing this news, Chen Qiyu ordered his command to be on guard.

Gao Yingxiang and others attacked Feng County but failed, and turned to attack Baoji but failed.

He also failed to attack Fengxiang, so he went west to Qianyang, Longzhou, and Li Zicheng and other troops.

In any case, the rebel army's ability to attack cities was still very weak.

In particular, Gao Yingxiang has always paid attention to the cultivation of elite heavy cavalry under his command, and the infantry is very weak.

This time, the cavalry and war horses suffered heavy losses in the carriage gorge, so there was no hope for siege.

The governor of the five provinces, Chen Qiyu, moved his troops to Fengxiang and ordered the general Ai Wannian to save Longzhou.

Li Zicheng commanded his soldiers to withdraw from Longzhou. After watching Ai Wannian enter the county town with a proud and arrogant attitude, he sent Gao Jie to lead his troops to besiege the county town.

After Chen Qiyu learned the news, he sent the general Wang Shiming to rescue Longzhou, but ended up being ambushed by Li Zicheng.

The Ming reinforcements were wiped out, and Wang Shiming was killed by bandits in front of the two armies.

After Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng, they kept besieging Longzhou and did not attack the city. They just waited for the government troops to come to rescue and fought reinforcements halfway.

Because Ai Wannian was also a Mizhi person, Li Zicheng asked Gao Jie to write letters to Ai Wannian to rebel against the court.

Ai Wannian will not reply.

Through this incident, I don’t know why Li Zicheng began to suspect Gao Jie, so he asked him to go back to guard the old camp and send other generals to siege Ai Wannian.

After Gao Jie returned, he took advantage of the situation and was with Li Zicheng's wife Xing Shi Nihu, while Li Zicheng hangs out with Gao Yingxiang and others to study how to deal with the upcoming official army.

Li Zicheng is becoming more and more mature in military training, but he cannot keep a point B at home.

He Jinchao looked at some of the news summarized and raised his eyebrows slightly.

"I, a postman, have really learned how to deal with military treatment."

Take advantage of the information gap first and directly deceive a county town, giving priority to gaining a foothold among the many rebel troops.

Then Li Zicheng pretended to be afraid of the official army and asked you to get into the trap. Finally, he had a siege and attacked the supporters and began to lure the defenders in the city.

A true copy of the Daling River war!

The key is that the opponent Ming army, whether in the east or west, is always the group of them.

After reading it, Zhang Fuzhen nodded repeatedly. Since the rebels were fighting fiercely, they could not fall behind:

"Lord, do we still have to continue attacking and heading towards Yulin Guard?"

"Don't worry, no matter what, we have to wait for the court to dispatch troops to encircle and suppress them. Let's make other arrangements when they move."

He Jinchao paused and said, "Send people to the nearby military fort to help them stabilize their lives. Even if they do not attack Shaanxi on a large scale this year, they have to build the bridgehead."

"clear."

Zhang Fuzhen responded, and Yang Wenyue was sent by He Jinchao to southern Jin to preside over the work of crossing the river to mobilize and lure the official army.

Since Shaanxi is in chaos, let’s make it more thorough.

After receiving the news, the three-sided governor Hong Chengchou was about to break open.

A great situation has failed!

He thought Chen Qiyu could handle these things well, but he could not ignore He Jinchao's threat of crossing the river.

Therefore, the troops were divided into two groups, heading towards southern Shanxi to guard Tongguan so as not to be successful by the hammer bandits.

He personally led a large army to northern Shanxi, which faced the dual threats of the Mongols and Hammer Bandits, and needed to focus on defense.

As a result, when Hong Chengchou walked halfway, he heard that Chen Qiyu was trying to urge these thieves, so he rushed to send someone to stop him and submitted a memorial to the emperor.

As a result, these two remedies were all destroyed by the sea.

Two months have passed.

Waiting for him to get the exact news, it was that the bandits such as Li Zicheng had already caused trouble in southwestern Shaanxi.

Hong Chengchou was so angry that he cursed. Chen Qiyu's tail was raised to the sky and could not listen to the advice.

This person's performance is even worse than Yang He!

In Hong Chengchou's opinion, at least Yang He has no great ability and the harm he causes will not be very big.

Unlike Chen Qiyu, he had a little bit of ability, and he was smooth and did not encounter setbacks, and he became more and more proud and complacent.

A big fall suddenly made things worse.

"Chen Qiyu misled me for the big thing in Shaanxi, so I must not let him continue to do it."

Hong Chengchou had already made up his mind to get Chen Qiyu away.

After this person takes office, he will not have any good effect on the Ming Dynasty. His talent is the end of the governor.

He didn't have that brain when climbing up!

Once the incident of Lian's state affairs was arrested and imprisoned, it directly caused dissatisfaction among Shaanxi officials and gentry.
