Wen Tiren asked: "Princess, as far as the old man knows, many Qingliu in Beijing are kneeling outside the noon gate to ask the emperor to dispose of the captured generals, they are highly respected, how can they be controlled by others?" Will they be willing to give up easily? ”

Looking at the suspicious Shoufu, Wang Chengen shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Our family has opened its eyes today, no wonder the general of the conquest is like a god, he judges the situation and is incomparable, what kind of people to deal with, what kind of means to deal with what kind of people to do the pinnacle." ”

Chongzhen, who was anxious, saw that Wang Chengen was not answering what he asked, and said: "Wang Banban, hurry up and tell me about the means of the general to deal with those clear streams!" ”

"Your Majesty, those ministers are because of ......"

After listening to Wang Chengen tell the story as it was, the emperor and all the important ministers felt that the general's move was too inferior, and everyone shook their heads, only Zheng Guochang laughed.

Zheng Guochang knew that his son-in-law was too out of line, and it was inevitable that he would be suspicious of the emperor, and it could not be reversed if he was not tolerated by the ministers.

If you want to protect yourself, you must be independent, if you want to be maverick, you must have a strong army and a lot of money and food, and in the future, if you pacify Liaodong, you will be stationed there and no longer return to Beijing is the best destination.

At this moment, Zheng Guochang had already understood what his son-in-law was doing, and he opened the bow without turning back, and when he proposed that Pingliao bargain with the emperor in five years, he was destined to go on the opposite side of the court.

If the "Red Banner Army" is defeated by Jiannu, of course, the Huang family will not recover, and the Huang family will also be more auspicious than the five years of Pingliao, and no emperor will tolerate a powerful minister who is strong enough to destroy the country.

And it is impossible for the Zheng family to dissociate themselves from the Huang family, because the sons of the Zheng family are all working for the completion of the five-year Pingliao, and the emperor and the ministers have long regarded Zheng Guochang as the spokesperson of the "Red Banner Army".

Only by mastering a large amount of money and food to make the "Red Banner Army" strong and strong, can the Huang family be safe, and giving up military power is about equivalent to being slaughtered by others.

After looting the businessmen of Shanxi and Xuanda, they will definitely get a lot of money and grain, but what about the civil and military generals who offend more than half of the dynasty?

The emperor chose to acquiesce, the civil and military with an unclean butt chose to retreat, Qingliu was disgusted and left, who can turn the tables? Zheng Guochang was certainly overjoyed.

In the end, the platform discussion ended in a happy way, and Chongzhen, who felt that he had a lot of money, also gave more than a dozen important ministers some rewards to go home for the New Year.

The tricky things were done, Jiannu was defeated and retreated, and Chongzhen also got a lot of kit kat and 1.5 million taels of silver, and he lived very comfortably in his Chinese New Year's Eve, talking and laughing with the empress, concubines, princes, and princesses.

It's a pity that the poor Emperor Chongzhen only lived three days of comfortable days, and was awakened from his sleep early in the morning of the third day of the first month by the bad news from the 600-mile urgent recital, and the Liukou actually broke Xiangyang and Nanyang, and Zhu Yiming, the king of Xiang, and Zhu Changfa, the king of Guiyang, were captured.

Fortunately, Tang King Zhu Yujian was not in Nanyang Mansion, at this time had already pursued the Qing army to Yansui Town to escape a catastrophe, his uncle Anyang King Zhu Qijun, and younger brother Neixiang King Zhu Yujian were tortured and killed by Zhang Xianzhong, the leader of the Eight Great Kings of Liukou.

Jiannu had just been beaten back, and the rogues made a lot of trouble, so that the ministers could not rest, and they had to hold a meeting on the third day of the first month.

Emperor Chongzhen was anxious, he was worried that it would cause a chain reaction, several county kings of the Ming Dynasty were killed, and a prince fell into the hands of the Liukou, and he, the emperor, could not escape the blame.

The Ming Dynasty treated the clan more strictly, the vassal kings and county kings were not allowed to leave the fiefdom without the emperor's will, they enjoyed the grace of the country and could live a luxurious life of arrogance and lasciviousness, but they had no right to speak in politics and no military power.

The prince who has no power and no soldiers is the key protection object of the local government, and now he is caught and killed by the rogue, how can the emperor explain to the clan elders today?

The royal family of the Zhu family can raise a group to question whether the emperor is capable of ensuring their personal safety, do they have to change the ancestral precept that the vassal king does not take charge of the army?

Since the soldiers and horses of the imperial court cannot be trusted, can the vassal kings and county kings also have an army to protect themselves? If the army is not established, it is necessary to consider relaxing the size of the royal guard.

What are you afraid of, on the ninth day of the first month, the Tang King has an urgent performance, and the family has been harmed by Zhang Xianzhong, the Tang King is grief-stricken, he is now single, and he has no scruples, and the words in the music are extremely unkind.

He enumerated all kinds of mistakes since Chongzhen succeeded to the throne, and his words were conclusive, and the Ming Dynasty was built by slaves and rogues in turn, which led to the fall of King Xiang and his family into the hands of the rogues, resulting in the death of his family, and the emperor was the first person responsible.

King Tang asked Chongzhen to give him military power, and he wanted to personally lead the army back to Nanyang to avenge his family, and to rescue King Xiang and his family.

At the same time, Liu Zhilun and Fang Zhenghua also had secret recitals, and the emperor learned that the Tang King led more than 2,000 men and horses from his headquarters to follow Lu Xiangsheng's Tianxiong army on the way to Henan.

Lu Xiangsheng is the general system of the five provinces under the command of the military department, and when he learned that the Liukou had broken Nanyang and Xiangyang, he was struck by lightning.

He knew that the great crime of losing the feudal domain would undoubtedly fall on his head, and he had already sprouted the will to live and die, and wanted to take advantage of the fact that the emperor did not deprive him of his military power, and strive to rush to Nanyang and Xiangyang in time to fight with the Liukou to rescue King Xiang, and if he could not succeed, he would simply die in battle and die for the country.

Liukou made a comeback, the momentum was huge, and Zuo Liangyu, who had been passive in Henan, chose to preserve his strength to avoid the war, and led the men and turtles to retreat into Xuzhou City, and more than a dozen cities in Henan were lost in a blink of an eye.

Zuo Liangyu watched the generals Cao Wenzhao, Deng Xi, Ai Wannian, Liu Guozhen, Liu Honglie and others who had fought side by side defeat and died, and knew the importance of preserving strength.

This bastard has not been active in fighting the rogues in the past two years, and he has been the most active in burning and looting the rogues, and during this time, he has grabbed a lot of money and food and pulled a lot of strong men, and the number of people under his command has swelled sharply, with a total of more than 30,000.

When the Qing army was slaughtering Henan, he strengthened the defense of Xuzhou City while sending his son Zuo Mengeng to lead 5,000 elites to the south for 500 miles to manage a retreat.

Zuo Liangyu's wishful thinking played very well, if the Qing army attacked Xuzhou City, he would put on a stubborn posture to see the situation, in case the Qing army showed that he would be ruthless, he would lead his men and horses to flee south overnight.

As a result, as we all know, the "Red Banner Army" fought with Jiannu in Shanxi, and the Qing army immediately lost the initiative and began to be beaten passively.

Zuo Liangyu didn't need to fight and was mixed with the merit of defending the land, because when he held on to Xuzhou City, although he did not encounter the siege, there were many Qing troops outside the city who robbed their homes.

The Qing army retreated, and Xuzhou, the base camp that had been in operation for two or three years, was retained, and Zuo Liangyu's command also looted more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians who fled here from the north and pulled thousands of strong men.

It stands to reason that Zuo Liangyu's strength has increased greatly, and he can start a good fight with Liukou, but unfortunately it was bad in the past, and now Zuo Liangyu, who is even worse, is determined to develop on his own, and he doesn't care about Liukou attacking the city in Henan.
