Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard Li Zhi's words.
There is no need to make the matter a big deal, and it is a good way to let the emperor understand the anger of the 150,000-strong army.
It was already the fifteenth year of Chongzhen. In these years, the troubles caused by the soldiers were nothing. Sometimes the soldiers rushed to the city to burn, kill and loot, but the court would ignore it. The 150,000-strong army returned from the victory gathered
Speaking of attacking the capital, it sounds scary. But once the army withdrew, it was not a big crime in hindsight.
Chen Bing marched to the capital, but there was no attack on the city. The triumphant army was framed by civil servants, and they came to the capital to ask for orders in anger. You can't say that the army that returned with a great victory rebelled, right?
After a bloody battle, the frontier army was almost wiped out. Now the demand is to kill the traitorous officials who almost destroyed the country, which is reasonable and reasonable.
Since we were so afraid of this army and were frightened when we saw it coming to the capital to ask for orders, why did we frame this army again?
Even if this behavior frightened the court, it was a righteous act under the indignation of the 150,000-strong army. Who could the court punish afterwards? The court could punish the leader Li Zhi at most, but who was Li Zhi? The Duke of Jin was in Tianjin and had strong troops.
, the southern and northern wars all depended on him, and the emperor had to be courteous, how could the court punish him?
Li Zhi, who takes the lead, is responsible for this huge matter.
Since the leader Li Zhi is not afraid, what are the eight generals afraid of? As the saying goes, the law does not punish everyone, if the court does not punish Li Zhi, but finds fault with any one of the eight generals afterwards, it is threatening the other seven generals at the same time, which can cause trouble.
Something big will happen.
The 170,000-strong army was framed by civilian officials in this way. In anger, they went to the capital to ask for orders. The court wanted to punish them? Instead of punishing the leader Li Zhi, they punished eight generals. Is it bullying the generals to talk easily? The court wanted to force the rebels to rebel against the frontier troops?
As for the tactics of civilian officials to make things difficult and deprive the general soldiers of their food and salary afterwards, the general soldiers were furious and did not think about it anymore. At the critical moment when the 170,000-strong army came to aid Jin Dynasty, the civilian officials dared to completely cut off their food and salary, forcing the general soldiers to
If they go to the battlefield where they are outnumbered, they have already done a great job. If the military attachés do not resist being cut off from food and pay in this way, the civilian officials will feel that the military attaches are weak and can be bullied even more, and they will become even more unscrupulous.
On the contrary, if we can unite as one this time and kill the thirty-seven traitorous ministers who hid food and salary, the status of the military attache will be greatly improved in the future, and civil servants will also use the same weapon when they withhold food and salary.
Of course, this is an ideal consideration. Of course, there are risks in forcing the palace with military remonstrance. In fact, even if the gains outweigh the losses, the generals still have to do this important thing.
To put it bluntly, the treacherous officials in the DPRK this time are really too much. How can I still be a decent man when he is framed like this despite his passion for serving the country? The generals are furious and will not go now even if there are any adverse consequences.
Think about it.
Wang Pu was the first to jump out and said loudly: "The method of the Duke of Jin is good! The Duke of Jin is willing to take the lead in helping my 170,000 soldiers. It is a blessing for me, the warriors of the Ming Dynasty! I, Wang Pu, was the first to do it with the Duke of Jin.
Got it!"
Ma Ke was full of anger and shouted loudly: "The Duke of Jin said it well, if I don't kill these dozens of traitorous officials, my surname will not be Ma. I will do it!"
Yang Guozhu blew his beard, stood up and said, "Yang did it!"
Cao Bianjiao raised his hands and said, "Cao Bianjiao is willing to listen to the instructions of Duke Jin!"
The seven general soldiers were filled with indignation and all expressed their positions. In the end, only Wu Sangui, who was sitting at the bottom, was left.
Wu Sangui swallowed when he saw eight people looking at him. He finally thought about it, stood up and said with his hands in his hands: "Since everyone has done it, Wu Sangui can't give in, so he did it too. These dozens of civil servants deserve to be killed!"
"
The other commander-in-chief laughed when they saw this.

Soon, the treacherous ministers in the DPRK framed the Jin army and hid food and wages to put the army in desperate situation. The generals informed the 150,000-strong army.
The 150,000 soldiers were filled with indignation and anger.
After listening to the officers' words, the soldiers realized that those who died in front of the Qing army were victims of the shameless conspiracy of the traitorous officials in the court.
It turns out that the soldiers fought bloody battles with the Tatars as if they were dead, and the difficulty of charging in front of the battle with their heads held high could be avoided and should not have happened in the first place.
It turned out that the treacherous ministers in the court wanted to defeat the 170,000 soldiers. If the soldiers had not united as one, sang war songs, fought to the death in front of the battle, and narrowly won the battle, I am afraid that the 170,000 soldiers would have been chased by the Qing cavalry.
For dozens of miles, rivers of blood flowed. How many people could escape?
I am afraid that the country and the country of the Ming Dynasty will be wiped out with this battle.
Which one is unbearable? The 150,000 soldiers are all heroes who fought bloody battles with the Tatars. Who is afraid of death? If the soldiers still have loyalty to the emperor, then how can they treat these treacherous ministers who are playing tricks in the court?
The soldiers only have one word for killing.
At this time, even if 150,000 soldiers were allowed to invade the capital and bloodbath the court, killing all the civil servants who did not regard the soldiers as human beings, the soldiers would do it. Li Zhi said that Chen Bing went to the capital to admonish and kill the treacherous ministers.
For the soldiers, this was already a forbearance policy adopted by the superiors.
The governor of Jiliao, Hong Chengchou, and the imperial supervisor Zhang Ruoqi were still in the army, but they found that they could no longer control the situation. The eight general soldiers had completely obeyed Li Zhi's orders from unknown time, completely ignoring Hong Chengchou. Now Li
Wherever Zhi points, the 150,000 soldiers will attack without any hesitation.
Li Zhi did not inform the two civil servants of what he was going to do, and the eight general soldiers did not tell Hong and Zhang the specific details. It was not until the army reached 50 miles north of Shanhaiguan that Hong Chengchou's general made inquiries from many sources and figured out ten things.
What are the 50,000 troops preparing to do?
The 150,000-strong army was determined to march to the capital city to admonish and kill the treacherous officials in the court.
After understanding what the army was going to do, Hong Chengchou and Zhang Ruoqi were panicked. Is this what ministers should do? The military attaches held heavy troops and were not afraid of being held accountable by the court, but Hong Chengchou and Zhang Ruoqi were afraid. Hong Chengchou was the governor of Jiliao,
Hong Chengchou was responsible for whatever this army did.
On the day when the army marches to the capital, how will the civil servants in the court see themselves?
After learning about the incident, Hong Chengchou rushed to Li Zhi's camp overnight, trying to persuade the Duke of Jin, Li Zhi, to turn back and give up. However, Li Zhi waved his avoidance card and did not see Hong Chengchou.

The army entered the Shanhaiguan Pass with great momentum and walked to Lulong County. Zu Dashou, the commander-in-chief of the vanguard, rushed up from Jinzhou on horseback and found Li Zhi in the marching team.
Li Zhi didn't know what Zu Dashou was doing, so he met him in the Chinese army.
Zu Dashou, who was tired of work, came up and grabbed the sleeve of Li Zhi's official robe and said: "Mr. Jin, the commander-in-chief of Shanhaiguan Pass, Ma Ke, has already told me in an urgent letter about the big thing you want to do."
Li Zhi didn't know what Zu Dashou meant, so he nodded and said nothing.
Zu Dashou spoke in a voice like a bell: "Dong Jin, I admire you for killing the treacherous officials in the court for the warriors of the world. It's just that Zu Dashou was responsible for the Jinzhou war, and Zu Dashou was also responsible for the frame-up by the treacherous officials in the court. Jin Kingdom
At this time, the Duke is leading eight general soldiers to do great things, and abandoning Zu Dashou is unjustifiable!"
"Zu Dashou also took part in the important affairs of the Duke of Jin!"
