The courtiers were worried that the Liukou would cross the Yellow River and harm the land of Gyeonggi again, so they suggested urgently mobilizing Liu Zhilun and Fang Zhenghua's men and horses to defend themselves.

Since the Tang King and Lu Xiangsheng's men and horses had already embarked on the journey to Henan to suppress the Kou, they pushed the boat down the river and let Lu Xiangsheng lead the men and horses to suppress the Kou, and appointed the Tang King as the supervisor.

Chongzhen was stunned! found that the attitude of the ministers changed too quickly, and last year they also impeached the Tang King for violating the ancestral system and recruiting troops without authorization, but this year, no one made a big fuss about this matter.

Most people are sympathetic to the weak, and the ministers are no exception!

The family of Tang Wang was killed by Zhang Xianzhong, and now he is alone, crying and shouting that he wants to personally lead the troops to avenge the revenge of a large family.

During this period of time, public opinion was dissatisfied, and after learning what happened to King Tang and King Xiang, the vassal kings everywhere couldn't sit still, and too many vassal kings and county kings had to consider the safety of themselves and their families, and the call for distrust of Emperor Chongzhen was getting louder and louder.

Chongzhen kills the minister like a chicken, but it is still good to treat the relatives of the Zhu family, and now the vassal king and the prince are emotional, if they send Tiqi to arrest the Tang King and send it to the Zongren Mansion for disposal, I am afraid that it will lead to the rebellion of the clan.

After weighing it again and again, Chongzhen had to choose forbearance, pinched his nose and gave Tang Wang the status of a prisoner, and ordered Lu Xiangsheng to make meritorious service and quickly pacify the Liukou and rescue King Xiang.

The ministers all knew that Lu Xiangsheng and the Tang King's men and horses were not enough to defeat the Liukou men and horses that had swelled rapidly to hundreds of thousands, so He Ruzhong reminded Liu Zhilun of the old story of the "Red Banner Army" who had made meritorious contributions to the "Yellow River Victory".

Liu Zhilun is a kind person, and he has a robe with Huang Han, and he did not take credit for Zhao Kun, Gu Zhun and other generals, and asked the court to give him a reward.

However, Emperor Chongzhen vetoed it, and the main reason was, of course, that the "Red Banner Army" was involved in the hinterland, and its name was not right.

The imperial court will give a reward to recognize the existence of this Biao army in disguise, and in the future, the imperial court will be organizing the army, so it will have to pay the military salary and give the station, because the Ming army stationed in the interior is not close to the Liao salary contracted by the "five-year Pingliao".

Therefore, after the "Yellow River Victory", the relevant civilian and military generals were promoted, and even Zu Kuan, Zu Keyong, Xu Changyong, etc., who defected, were all awarded official positions, and the officers and men of the "Red Banner Army" who took the initiative to participate in the attack on the Qing army were left behind.

This result not only embarrassed Liu Zhilun, Lu Xiangsheng, and Fang Zhenghua, but even the grassroots Ming army thought that the emperor's handling of things was unfair, and they all complained about Zhao Kun and Gu Zhun's subordinates.

The "Red Banner Army" has long been indifferent to the attitude of the imperial court, because the magistrate has already recorded his military exploits, and the rewards that should be given are also indispensable.

The vast majority of the neglected officers and soldiers of the "Red Banner Army" only recognized the head of the family and did not recognize the imperial court, and they were still passionate, and they were still active in the pursuit of Jiannu, and Lu Xiangsheng, Tang Wang, and so on were all admired.

When the moon was low and the pursuit battle came to an end, the "Red Banner Army" beheaded the main general of the Qing army and accumulated more than 1,000 gifts, and won the first merit, and Liu Zhilun, Lu Xiangsheng, Fang Zhenghua, and Hong Chengchou jointly signed the good news and merit documents delivered to the Beijing Division.

More than a dozen important ministers unanimously demanded that the emperor could no longer ignore the "Red Flag Army" in the interior, and that the Liukou was the great danger of the Ming Dynasty and must be exterminated, and the "Red Flag Army" that could be fought could be of great use.

Chongzhen, who was in a state of turmoil, was powerless in the face of such a complicated situation, how could he only feel that it was wrong to listen to it, and this old minister was simply questioning him about favoritism.

It is no wonder that the other generals of the "Red Banner Army" may not be familiar with He Rupet, but he personally led several family members to inspect the achievements of the "Red Banner Army" in the Zhongdu of Nanzhili and Henan, and had a certain understanding of Gu Rushan, a young general, many times.

He Ruzhong saw with his own eyes that under the leadership of Gu Rushan, there were at least 200,000 living people in Huoqiu County and Yingzhou.

He believes that the Ming Dynasty lacks generals like Gu Rushan, who are full of vitality, are not corrupt, can fight on the horse, and can calm the people when they get off the horse.

It is also because Huang Han challenged the imperial power many times and obtained the emperor's concessions, so that the self-righteous Chongzhen slightly understood that "compromise is the highest political wisdom", not as stubborn as in history.

Henan's suppression of the Kou needs elite soldiers and fierce generals, and the "Red Banner Army" will undoubtedly become the main force, and Chongzhen was forced to compromise again, and agreed to the reward agreed by the cabinet and immediately issued an order.

Zhao Kunjia Zuodu Governor led the aid and suppression of the general military officer to be stationed in Jingzhou, Gu Zhun Jiadu Governor Tongzhi became the deputy general stationed in Kuizhou, Gu Rushan was actually awarded the general to be stationed in Yingzhou, Pei Yuanwu was also awarded to the general stationed in Anqing, and the rest of the generals were also promoted to one or two levels.

This kind of reward means that the imperial court will correct the name of the garrison where the "Red Flag Army" has caused the fact, and the name of the guard army managed and assessed by Zhao Kun and others in the jurisdiction is justified, and they should also be able to get the military salary issued by the imperial court.

Tang Wang in the "Yellow River victory" immediately after the writing of the song Shu Bao Shi Kunshan as the Nanyang general of the emperor to stay in the middle, this time also turned out to re-discuss the merits, and finally gave Shi Kunshan the guerrilla general to give the actual award, stationed in Nanyang.

This may be Chongzhen's conscience, thinking that the Tang Wang's family is dead, only he is the only one, the Tang King is already thirty or forty years old, and now he doesn't even have an heir, thinking that he doesn't even have an heir, it shouldn't be Li Lingzhi faint to covet the throne.

In order to give the Tang King some comfort, Chongzhen agreed to his request to participate in leading the troops to avenge his family, and gave him the actual instruction of the Shi Kunshan guerrilla general.

King Tang couldn't wait to avenge his family, and Zhao Kun, Gu Zhun and other generals also hurried back to the garrison.

The "Red Banner Army" has managed to build up its base areas with great difficulty, and seeing that it is not only able to achieve self-sufficiency in grain but also to have surplus grain to sell, and that the common people in the area under its jurisdiction are at peace.

The Tang King, the "Red Banner Army", and the Tianxiong Army marched together to Henan, marching at a speed of 100 miles a day, and when they were ready to cross the Yellow River for seven or eight days, they received the emperor's appointment and reward.

The fact that the rogues have harmed the vassal kings and several county kings has spread widely, and the Ming prince has the same hatred.

King Lu of Zhangde Mansion sent eunuchs to lead 500 young men to the Tang Dynasty to bring 800 stone of grain and 10,000 taels of silver tickets from the "Sifang Qianzhuang".

In order to show the selflessness in his chest, King Lu's letter to the King of Tang was not sealed, the content was very simple, he was very sympathetic to the plight of the King of Tang, and supported Qian Liang and 500 people to assist the King of Tang to seek revenge.

A small part of the 500 young and middle-aged people are the guards of the Luwang Mansion, and most of them are the village warriors trained by the "Red Banner Army" the year before last, and their combat effectiveness should not be inferior to that of the Liukou.
