"As a glorious traveler, you should know the general course of history. Conform to the trend of history, make the right choice, and let the Ming Dynasty avoid detours, which is conducive to the realization of the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty as soon as possible and the restoration of the peace and contentment of the people of the Ming Dynasty as soon as possible. ”

"There is no doubt that flintlock pistols are more advanced than arquebuses. Assembly line operation and standardized production are also the best way to produce all products. On the basis of eliminating the worries of craftsmen, coupled with the mechanism of combining rewards and punishments, the management of craftsmen is a historical progress, which is conducive to the change of the world's concept and the improvement of productivity. After system evaluation, the host will be rewarded with a Class A eavesdropping seed, please check! ”

After reading these words, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but silently say in his heart: "If the Lord of the System gives 10,000 Grade A eavesdropping seeds at a time, believe it or not, can the Ming Dynasty be revitalized earlier, and the people of the Ming Dynasty can live and work in peace and contentment earlier?" ”

After saying that, I waited for a while and found that the system was not responding. Sure enough, when I encountered this kind of problem, I began to be silent!

Forget it, it's not bad to have an extra Grade A eavesdropping seed.

Thinking so, he went back to the palace. Along the way, I checked the messages fed back by eavesdropping seeds everywhere.

Lu Xiangsheng has already arrived in Dengzhou, and is inspecting everywhere, selecting soldiers, and inspecting the shipyard;

Hong Chengchou is also inspecting various health posts, rebuilding the guard army, and inspecting the government affairs of local officials in various places;

Wu Zhong had just arrived in Shenyang and became a coater in Dolgon's mansion. The movement in Shenyang did not seem to particularly punish Dolgon and the others, but those Manchu Tartars seemed to be jubilant, celebrating the loss of countless people and materials from the Guan.

Because Wu Zhong is just a coat, the news he heard is limited, but Emperor Chongzhen estimated it, and probably guessed the intention of the dead fat man of Huang Taiji. Sure enough, this dead fat man is not easy to deal with, and he is very cunning.

Forget it, it's good to go back and make another move, as long as I defeat you again and again, I don't believe you can hide it for long!

Then, Emperor Chongzhen looked at the next eavesdropping seed to return the message.

Chen Qiyu walked very fast, had rushed to Guyuan, Shaanxi Province to take office, was familiar with the powers of the trilateral governors, and at the same time ordered to convene the general soldiers and deputy generals from all over the country; And the Jianzhou Jurchens he took to Shaanxi were all locked up in prison, and they were watched by Shaanxi men. In this regard, Turg seems to have become numb, just ruthless when no one is around, and will definitely take revenge in the next life. It was clear that he felt that he could not survive.

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen discovered another benefit of this eavesdropping system. That is, no matter what words others use, including dialects or languages of different races, the final display is Chinese characters, but there will be a parenthetical annotation, such as Jianzhou Jurchen language, or Guyuan native dialect and the like.

If this were not the case, Emperor Chongzhen would probably be blind.

Chen Qiyu, on his side, was familiar with the military and political affairs of Shaanxi and Gansu, and after inquiring and verifying the news of the Mongolian tribes outside the Guanwai, he would start trading prisoners for war horses. Once it starts, reinforcements from the Jingshi's side must set off.

Thinking about this, Emperor Chongzhen continued to look down, it was Sun Chuanting, the governor of Jiliao, who had already arrived at Shanhaiguan and began to inspect various military and political affairs, including armaments, tuntian, military training, and garrisoning.

Sun Chuanting, a cold-faced man, didn't say much, but even so, he seemed to praise Wu Sangui, the deputy general of the right battalion of the forward, for his ability to command the troops and do a good job.

Looking at those conversations, Emperor Chongzhen's heart suddenly moved, why did he forget this person, he should use it well!

Ning Jin's side is the base camp of Zu Dashou and others, and over the years, they have spent an unknown amount of Ming military spending, but they can only defend the city, and there is no record of success; To be counted, the Guanning army was the most well-fed of all the border armies of the Ming Dynasty, but the Manchu army made several detours into the pass and wreaked havoc, but the Guanning army could not come in handy. Although there is a Manchu army, can't even send a single man? Only in the matter of suppressing the thieves can the Guan Ning army be dispatched, and it is not the descendant of Zu Dashou. For example, Zu Kuan, Cao Wenzhao.

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen felt the need to make Guan Ningjun move.

So, he immediately issued an order and prepared to transfer Wu Sangui to lead the cavalry of his headquarters into the customs to listen to it.

What Emperor Chongzhen didn't expect was that just as he was in a step-by-step manner, rectifying the government and accumulating strength to deal with the Manchus, the situation suddenly took a sharp turn for the worse.

An expedited recital arrived in Beijing, and this recital was not sent by Xiong Wencan, the governor of the five provinces, but it was related to Xiong Wencan.

On the ninth day of the fifth month of the twelfth year of Chongzhen, that is, almost a month ago, Zhang Xianzhong rebelled again in Gu County, killing the county order Ruan Zhitian and patrolling the imperial Shi Lin Mingqiu, and the superintendent Zhang Dajing, Ma Tingbao and Xu Qizuo were forced to surrender. Xiong Wencan was shocked when he heard the news, but instead of suppressing it immediately, he sent people to appease him and try to recruit Zhang Xianzhong again.

But then, Luo Rucai and Ma Shouying's troops also rebelled again in Fang County, merged with Zhang Xianzhong to capture Fang County, killed Hao Jingchun in the county, and even went down to Yunxi, Baokang and other places, and the five battalions of Hui Dengxiang in Junzhou heard the news and immediately rebelled. In just over half a month, the western part of Hubei has all fallen. Seeing this, Xiong Wencan had no choice but to transfer troops to suppress it, and ordered Zuo Liangyu and Luo Dai to lead the troops to pursue it. However, the recital to the imperial court was delayed.

When the governor of Henan Province, which is adjacent to Hubei, heard the news and was worried that the thieves would enter Henan, he urgently reported to the Beijing Division.

When Emperor Chongzhen received this recital, he couldn't help but be furious. He didn't have to think about it to know. The delay in seeing Xiong Wencan's recital must be because he appeased these thieves, afraid of the court's blame, and wanted to calm himself down. If you can't appease it first, you want to exterminate it. If he can be exterminated, and then he will have something to say.

However, this Xiong Wencan didn't expect that these thieves had fought for many years and rebelled again, without the deterrence of the Yongwei Battalion, did he have the ability to quell the rebellion? In doing so, he gave the thieves a chance to grow stronger, and how many people would be trapped in the war again? After the thieves grow, how many troops and materials will it cost the imperial court to quell the rebellion?

This Xiong Wencan, do you really think that his recruitment method can conquer the world? I didn't listen to the report of the county order of Guxian County before, and I wanted to hide it when I encountered something, this kind of official is really a typical example of not having enough success and more than failing!

However, what Emperor Chongzhen didn't expect was that this recital was above the court, which actually caused two opinions.

One is to demand that the imperial court immediately send troops to quell the rebellion of the thieves. The other is that he feels that Xiong Wencan, the governor of the five provinces, has not yet arrived, so it is better to wait first, maybe there is something untrue in this concert, and maybe Xiong Wencan has put down the rebellion, so there is no need for the court to mobilize the people.

From a certain point of view, Jingshi is far away from Hubei and has no information, so it is not wrong for them to think so.

However, Emperor Chongzhen is from later generations, so he naturally knows what Zhang Xianzhong and others will be like in the end. Since he rebelled again, it was definitely not something that Xiong Wencan could pacify.

Therefore, he immediately sent people to gallop through Shanhaiguan again, and ordered Wu Sangui to rush to Jingshi to prepare to quell the rebellion.

At the same time, it also made the three major battalions under the command of the Imperial Horse Supervisor ready to be launched. It's too late to train with peace of mind, so go to the battlefield to practice.

However, there is a saying that the house leak happened to rain overnight. Emperor Chongzhen learned another bad news from Chen Qiyu's eavesdropping seed.

Li Zicheng's troops, who fled into the Shangluo Mountains in southeastern Shaanxi, led more than 3,000 troops to kill two days ago, and they were menacing. After reporting to the Trilateral Governor's Palace, Chen Qiyu was embarrassed.

He was under the emperor's secret order and was preparing to deal with the Tumut Department in Hetao, but before the matter was carried out, there were thieves rebelling again in the border of Shaanxi, and the leader of the thieves was Li Zicheng, who was very famous before. After weighing it again, he decided to lead his troops to encircle and suppress Li Zicheng's subordinates.

After Emperor Chongzhen saw the news, he couldn't help but have a big headache. Because he remembered that after Li Zicheng came out of Shangluo Mountain, it seemed that he could no longer control it, and finally swept the world and forced the original Chongzhen Emperor to the coal mountain.

It can be seen from this that Chen Qiyu's encirclement and suppression may not necessarily be useful. It is likely that Li Zicheng's troops would have jumped into Henan and fled from the trilateral towns.

The map of these thieves appeared in his mind, which made Emperor Chongzhen feel the severity of the situation.

Although because of the relationship between himself and himself, the current situation has changed a lot from the original history. At least Sun Chuanting was not imprisoned, Lu Xiangsheng was not killed in battle, Hong Chengchou was not transferred to Shanhaiguan because of this, and more importantly, after confiscating the Jin Shang and others, the imperial court currently has enough money and food to deal with the scourge of the Manchu army.

However, in the hinterland of the Central Plains, at least it has not been affected by the butterfly effect. If the thieves are not suppressed quickly, the Ming Dynasty will be rotten again. Judging from the current situation, Li Zicheng may enter Henan at any time, and the group of thieves on Zhang Xianzhong's side is also very likely to enter Henan, and they can also go east or south, I don't know how many places will be poisoned by these thieves.

The situation is dire!

However, what made Emperor Chongzhen a little relieved was that in the conversation between Chen Qiyu and the governor of Ningxia, he learned that Zheng Chongjian, the governor of Ningxia, had repeatedly defeated the Hetao Tartars, that is, the Tumut Division, who tried to enter the customs and fight the Autumn Valley. This made Emperor Chongzhen's heart move.

After thinking for a while, Emperor Chongzhen made up his mind. Qiankun was arbitrary, removed Xiong Wencan, the governor of the five provinces, and escorted him to Beijing for questioning; At the same time, Chen Qiyu, the governor of the three sides, was appointed to temporarily take over the post of governor of the five provinces, and immediately took over the encirclement and suppression of the thieves, and the thieves must not be allowed to run around. At the same time, Zheng Chongjian, governor of Ningxia, was appointed to temporarily act as the governor of the trilateral region.

In the original history, in fact, it was Zheng Chongjian who took over the post of governor of the three sides, and sent troops to encircle and suppress Zhang Xianzhong's troops who rushed into Sichuan, and also won several battles. However, Zhang Xianzhong took advantage of the contradiction between him and Yang Sichang, and as a result, after he withdrew and returned to Shaanxi, Zhang Xianzhong grew stronger again. The original Emperor Chongzhen blamed Zheng Chongjian and put him to death.

But in this plane, it's different. At least Yang Sichang has been executed because of the Jin Shang rebellion case.

When Emperor Chongzhen's decree came out, many officials in the court had opinions and felt that the emperor's move was inappropriate.

First, Xiong Wencan's situation is not known yet, his recital has not yet arrived, and it will be biased to rely only on the recital of Henan Provincial Patrol.

Second, when the situation was unclear, Chen Qiyu took over the post of governor of the three sides, and he was immediately promoted to the governor of the five provinces to replace Xiong Wencan, which is not good. If Xiong Wencan has already pacified the thieves, wouldn't it seem that the court was too calm and too flustered?

Before Emperor Chongzhen could speak, someone answered them. The person who answered this question was Xiong Wencan himself. His urgent recital has finally arrived in Beijing.

In this recital, he did not say that he had put down the rebellion of the thieves, but that he had asked the imperial court for help and asked for the re-dispatch of the Yongwei battalion. Because, his previous encirclement and suppression failed miserably.

It turned out that after Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai and others joined forces, they ambushed the army in Luo Monkey Mountain west of Fang County, spread a net to set up a formation, and sent a team to feint and retreat, luring Zuo Liangyu and Luo Dai to pursue into the mountain. As a result, they were ambushed, and more than 10,000 officers and soldiers were scattered. Among them, Luo Dai was captured alive, Zuo Liangyu lost his armor, fled in the saddle, and even lost the military rune seal.

In this case, Xiong Wencan could no longer hide it, because he no longer had the ability to suppress Zhang Xianzhong and others on his own, so he urgently reported to the imperial court.

understood what had happened before and after, and the ministers were in an uproar. They didn't expect that the development of things would be expected by the emperor. As a result, the ministers had no objections, and the holy decree was issued, escorting Xiong Wencan into Beijing to ask for the guilt, and at the same time, Chen Qiyu took over as the governor of the five provinces and launched the encirclement and suppression of the thieves.

At the same time, some civilian officials suggested that the thieves were capricious, and it was better to kill all the thieves who surrendered to prevent future troubles. In the future, it will no longer be appeased, and it will be killed. For this suggestion, it also attracted the support of many people in the court, and no one mentioned the matter of appeasement.

In this regard, Emperor Chongzhen did not agree, if this simple and crude method was used, the thieves would definitely resist to the end if they knew that they had no way out, increasing the difficulty of quelling the thieves.

On the other hand, according to Emperor Chongzhen's impression, at least in the original history, there were still many thieves who surrendered and fought for the Ming Dynasty. In today's Yongwei battalion, there are the original thieves, those who He Renlong recruited at the beginning, not only fought bravely for the Ming Dynasty, but even some died in the battle with Jianyu.

In addition, in the Southern Ming Dynasty, a large part of the most resolute resistance to the Manchu Qing was also those who were born as thieves. The famous Li Dingguo in later generations, as well as the famous loyalty camp and so on.

The blood in the bones is not as good as those in the thieves, but there are more in the court than in the court.

Now the Ming Dynasty wants to prosper and dominate the world, that is, there are fewer bloody men!

Seeing that the emperor did not agree, many officials raised questions again: Yang He was appeased before, but the thief rebelled and surrendered; Now Xiong Wencan has been appeased, and the thieves have rebelled again, and now they are going to be escorted into Beijing. Who will dare to appease them in the future, and how can they tell whether the thieves are really recruited?

In this regard, Emperor Chongzhen did not hesitate and gave a direct reply.
