337 Happy events again and again (for the leader Ziyuehuaqing 11/11)
When Emperor Chongzhen saw it, he said to Liu Weichao: "Wang Cheng'en is here, and there seems to be good things happening. How about I hang up first?"
Under normal circumstances, when he and Liu Weichao are communicating, they are ranked first, and no one else can disturb him. He doesn't have to be embarrassed, because he is the emperor, and asking others to wait for him is, in his opinion, a matter of course.
matter.
But when he saw Wang Chengen's mean smile, he was curious about what good things could happen?
After all, this was just a double happiness, and another good thing happened?
Therefore, he wanted to know first what good news Wang Chengen wanted to report.
After hearing this, Liu Weichao was also curious, so he said to him: "Okay, hang up, maybe it will be another unexpected surprise."
Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen hung up the video communication and then waved to Wang Chengen.
Wang Chengen was like a pug, immediately wagging his tail and entering the palace with a smile on his face.
This metaphor seems a bit excessive to describe the dignified Ming Dynasty's ceremonial supervisor, eunuch, and the number one person in the inner court. But in this situation, it is indeed somewhat accurate.
"Long live my Lord, I'm so happy, so happy!" Wang Cheng'en entered the palace and quickly reported to Emperor Chongzhen with a smile, "Master Sun urgently reported that Li Zicheng had kidnapped Luo Rucai and killed him!"
"Oh? Ah!" Emperor Chongzhen was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he smiled, "Okay, okay, okay!"
Luo Rucai, whose bandit name was Cao Cao, had always been cunning and had survived since the early years of Chongzhen. Now he died in the civil strife of bandits. It is a good thing!
The Fifth Battalion of Gezuo accepted the recruitment, and along with it sent Liu Wenxiu, and poached a large arm of Zhang Xianzhong;
When Liu Wenxiu went to Beijing, he happened to bump into Li Dingguo who was inquiring about information in the capital, and poached a large arm of Zhang Xianzhong;
Then Li Zicheng attacked Luo Rucai, and the bandits were in civil strife!
These things happened one after another. Emperor Chongzhen really felt that this was the end of the world, right?
With this in mind, he immediately read the urgent report sent by Sun Chuanting.
In this memorial, in addition to reporting this matter, Sun Chuanting also made adjustments to the subsequent strategy based on this specific situation and submitted it to Emperor Chongzhen for approval.
According to the original idea, it was to stabilize the north, and then slowly advance southward, striving to steadily eliminate the bandits.
But judging from the current situation, Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai are fighting against each other. Even if Luo Rucai is dead and his army is annexed by Li Zicheng, the integration will definitely not be completed in a short period of time. There must be many people who are dissatisfied with Li Zicheng.
few.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, if the imperial army puts pressure on him, the fifth battalion of Gezuo has just been recruited. With such a typical example, I believe it will be much easier for Li Zicheng's troops to deal with it.
If this opportunity is given up and Li Zicheng has enough opportunity to integrate his troops, then his strength will definitely be stronger than the two groups of thieves combined before, and he will be the most difficult group of thieves to deal with!
What is the most fearful thing about dealing with bandits? It is that they are fleeing in all directions, but they obey the orders of a leader and divide their forces to attack together.
Therefore, Sun Chuanting suggested in the memorial that he should immediately integrate the imperial officers and troops to go south, first encircle and annihilate Zuo Liangyu's troops, then advance to Li Zicheng's troops in Xiangyang, and also attack Zhang Xianzhong's troops in Huguang.
However, to launch such a large-scale war, food and grass were a problem, and Emperor Chongzhen needed to find a solution.
After Emperor Chongzhen read it, he thought about it seriously and asked Wang Chengen to pass on the order. First, he asked Yuan Zhuangfei to take Liu Wenxiu and Li Dingguo to the capital camp, and Zhou Yuji took them to visit the lower capital camp.
Then, he immediately initiated a video communication request to Liu Weichao.
As soon as the connection was connected, Liu Weichao asked curiously: "What good thing is it? How about I guess first?"
When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he was not in a hurry to speak, and immediately said with a smile: "It is indeed a good thing, one of my favorite news. But I guess you can't guess it!"
"Hey, that's not necessarily the case!" Liu Weichao said with a smile after hearing this.
Then, he asked Emperor Chongzhen: "Did Huang Taiji belch, or did Huang Taiji die?"
"Ah?" Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but asked in surprise when he heard this, "Will Huang Taiji die?"
If so, then this is also great news!
You must know that the reason why the power of Jianlu is getting stronger and stronger can be said to be attributed to Huang Taiji. On the basis of Nurhachi, he suppressed other slave chiefs internally and integrated the combat power of Jianlu. Not only did he conquer eastern Mongolia
The various tribes even went on an expedition to the Hetao area, beating Lin Dan Khan to such a degree that he fled in panic. He eventually died of illness and his wife and son all returned to Jianlu.
When Western Mongolia and Mobei Mongolia heard about their reputation, they also sent envoys to surrender.
As for the Ming Dynasty, let alone it. Not only did they break the Ming Dynasty's threat in Guanning and Dongjiang Town, they also destroyed Dongjiang Town and captured Jinzhou.
This Huang Taiji is definitely a very powerful enemy!
If such a character dies, it will be great news for Ming Dynasty.
At this time, Liu Weichao knew that this was not the case as soon as he heard Emperor Chongzhen's rhetorical question. He didn't care about Emperor Chongzhen's rhetorical question, so he continued to ask Emperor Chongzhen: "Did Li Zicheng kill Luo Rucai?"
"Ah!" Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this, "How do you know?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Weichao knew that he had guessed correctly and couldn't help but laugh.
After a while, he explained to Emperor Chongzhen: "Actually, it's very simple. I guessed it based on historical records. Whether it was Li Zicheng's violent attack on Luo Rucai or Huang Taiji's burping, it all happened in the 16th year of Chongzhen's reign.
Although there is a butterfly effect, this kind of thing is very big and may not be avoided. So, I just searched for the events of Chongzhen's sixteen years, and then made a guess based on this, and I didn't expect that I guessed it right!"
At this time, Emperor Chongzhen's focus was no longer on whether Liu Weichao could guess correctly. After being surprised, he quickly asked Liu Weichao: "Is it really possible that Huang Taiji will die?"
Compared to Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai, what he wanted to hear most was the death of Huang Taiji!
After hearing this, Liu Weichao thought for a moment before replying: "According to historical records, his health was already very bad at this time. Not only did he eat less, but he also often fell into coma. And this time in the Battle of Jizhou, the losses
There are more than 100,000 troops who want to enter the pass and plunder, which will probably hit him even more and stimulate his condition to worsen. Maybe by this time, he would have died long ago, but you didn't get the news."
Seeing that Emperor Chongzhen was very surprised after hearing his words, Liu Weichao added to be on the safe side: "Of course, it's possible that he didn't die. After all, he didn't see it with his own eyes. Maybe this Huang Taiji was because of the bad news.
It inspired his fighting spirit. Sometimes, this kind of thing is very difficult to explain. Unless it is a character in a novel, just follow the author's writing and there will be no surprises!"
"..." Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but be speechless for a moment after hearing this.
But when he came back to his senses, he was still very happy. Because he guessed from Liu Weichao's words that the emperor was most likely dead!
After all, in the original history, without the great victory of Jizhou, he would have died!
Thinking of this, suddenly, his smile froze on his face.
Because he thought that in the original history, he only died a little later than Huang Taiji. The world was eventually taken away by the Jianlu!
"What's wrong?" Liu Weichao looked at his face, which was a little strange. He was smiling just now, why did he change his expression like this all of a sudden?
Thinking about what he had just told Emperor Chongzhen, he subconsciously asked: "Don't you think of the Crooked Neck Tree?"
"..." Emperor Chongzhen felt a little embarrassed when he heard this!
Fortunately, he and Liu Weichao could talk about everything. They were not in the same plane anyway, so it was not uncommon for him to make jokes, so he didn't care. He immediately replied to Liu Weichao: "I have already had the crooked-neck tree cut down.
!”
"Ah..." Liu Weichao couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard this, and then burst into laughter.
When Emperor Chongzhen saw it, he also laughed.
This crooked-neck tree was a stain on him. Since Liu Weichao was smiling so happily, he didn't mind retorting, so he asked Liu Weichao: "Have you not found a girlfriend yet? How do you explain it to your mother?"
"Uh..." When Liu Weichao heard this, his laughter suddenly stopped.
During the Chinese New Year, Liu Weichao's parents once again worried about Liu Weichao's marriage, commonly known as forced marriage. Regarding this matter, Liu Weichao had a headache, and naturally he told Emperor Chongzhen.
Okay, now that both sides have their shortcomings exposed, let’s get down to business.
Hearing Liu Weichao cough, he asked Emperor Chongzhen: "Since Li Zicheng still killed Luo Rucai as in history, but your Ming army is different from history and is actually very powerful, what do you think?"
"I just want to discuss this matter with you!" After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen quickly told Liu Weichao, "Sun Chuanting's urgent report also mentioned this matter, thinking..."
With that said, he relayed Sun Chuanting's thoughts to Liu Weichao.
Finally, Emperor Chongzhen asked Liu Weichao seriously: "What do you think? Do you want to change our original strategy?"
After hearing this, Liu Weichao nodded and said: "There is nothing fixed and it is the most correct principle to change according to the actual situation. And after all, Sun Chuanting understands military affairs and is sitting in Kaifeng. He thinks this is beneficial, I can't think of it.
There's nothing wrong with coming out, so I feel it's okay."
After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen said with a little worry: "But there is also a problem. Sun Chuanting said in the emergency report that he wanted me to solve the problem of military supplies and fodder for him! But suddenly, I am afraid that I can't solve it for him.
All the railways have not been built yet, and we don’t know how much food will be consumed on the road!”
The troops and horses have not moved, but the food and grass go first.
But at this time, fighter planes suddenly appeared, which in turn forced food supplies. This was indeed a problem.
Thinking about this food and grass problem, as an outsider, Liu Weichao's eyes lit up and he immediately thought of a way.
