People's greatest fear is death, and death itself is a fear of the unknown world, Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen is afraid of death, he doesn't know what will happen to him if he dies again this time, but one thing he knows is that he will leave this world forever, and leave his Daming dream forever!

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the government was corrupt, the countryside went bankrupt, the oppression and exploitation were getting worse day by day, and Shaanxi was hit by drought, and the people could not live. In July of the first year of Chongzhen (1628), Wang Jiayin, Yang Liu, and Bu Muddy raised the banner of righteousness for the first time in Fugu, Shaanxi and other places, and the whole Shaanxi responded. From the first year of Chongzhen (1628) to the third year of Chongzhen, Gao Yingxiang, Zhang Xianzhong, Li Zicheng and others revolted successively, and there were more than 100 rebels in Shaanxi. Some of the border soldiers of the official army, mutinied due to lack of pay, and also joined the rebel army and became the backbone.

At the beginning of the Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen's ascension to the throne, the Ming court ordered Yang He, the governor of the three sides, to "suppress and appease at the same time, and focus on appeasement". But this policy soon changed after the rebirth of Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen!

In the second year of Chongzhen (1629), the peasant army Wang Zuogui and Miao Mei led troops to attack Hancheng. Yang He, the governor of Shaanxi, had no generals in his hands, and in a hurry, he ordered Hong Chengchou, who was still participating in politics at that time, to lead his troops to battle. Hong Chengchou killed 300 enemy leaders and broke through the heavy encirclement! After relieving the siege of Hancheng, he suddenly became famous.

In the third year of Chongzhen, Hong Chengchou was appointed as the governor of Yansui. As a cadre under Yang He, he should have supported his boss's "appeasement policy", but Hong Chengchou didn't, but he vigorously suppressed the bandits. And not only to suppress the bandits, but also to "kill and surrender"! At that time, there were tens of thousands of surrendered "thief troops" killed by him, which is also the reason why Hong Chengchou appeared in every history book as a "reactionary figure". In fact, if you read the history of the "thief army" at the end of the Ming Dynasty, it is not difficult to find that Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong have surrendered many times. Recharge your energy for a while and then reverse. The Ming Dynasty repeatedly suppressed the "thief army" without dying. It's because of this deception. Thus. Hong Chengchou was quite prescient in this regard.

However, the Ming court was unable to feed a large number of hungry people, and those who had already been appeased rose again!

After Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen had no way to go back to modern times, and there was no way to get bomber high-explosive bombs! The Liaodong problem, which had already seen the hope of being solved, continued to be unsolved! The problem of the Jiangnan chaebol, which is already unsolvable, is even more prominent, with a war in the north and no economic support in the south! And the anti-people in the Central Plains began to gather towards the Gyeonggi region in the wave of uprisings in full swing, which has become the biggest problem in front of the Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen!

When physically and mentally exhausted. Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen stepped on the helicopter to Datong as a member of the Xunlou Inspectorate!

The armed helicopter was personally piloted by Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen, and on the plane were more than 80 armed eunuchs from the West Factory, Yang Qicong and Gao Dewei, and of course, there was also Yang Sichang who was personally ordered by the emperor!

Gao Dewei didn't know that Young Master Zhen's true identity was the emperor, and Yang Sichang didn't know who this person with a soft leather mask and a thing that could fly high in the air without saying a word!?

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen glanced at Yang Sichang, who was trembling with vomiting, and held the seat under him with both hands. There is no way to compare with Gao Dewei and these armed eunuchs of the West Factory led by Yang Qicong. But Yang Sichang didn't complain once! On this plane, Yang Sichang is much higher than all the officials, and he is already a cadre at the same level as his father Yang He, who is now the governor of the three sides, but he is the same as an ordinary official, and even a little like an ordinary sergeant!

This is also a reason why Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen admires Yang Sichang, Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen in the previous life, in fact, already knows very well what Yang Sichang is like, Yang Sichang is definitely a good helper for him, is a rare loyal and talented official in his hands! This point even surpasses Hong Chengchou! If Yang Sichang's military talent is not as good as Hong Chengchou, other aspects, especially in loyalty, are really too much beyond Hong Chengchou, which is also a reason why in the last life, after Yang Sichang's death, he hit Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen very hard!

Hong Chengchou, whose name is Hengjiu, is a native of Jinjiang County, Quanzhou Prefecture, Fujian, and a Jinshi of Wanli Bingchenke (Wanli forty-four years, 1616). At the age of 23, he supervised Zhejiang, and was later promoted to participate in politics in Shaanxi.

Hong Chengchou became famous in Shaanxi when the Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen went to Shaanxi in person last time. At that time, Wang Zuohang, Miao Mei and others led the troops into five battalions, went south to attack Hancheng, the governor Yang He had no generals, in a hurry, so that Hong Chengchou, who was still participating in politics, led the troops to help, killed more than 300 rebel leaders, relieved the siege of Hancheng, and Hong Chengchou became famous all of a sudden. From then on, he began to lead his troops into battle. Because he was strategic, and because he had been an official in Shaanxi for a long time and was familiar with the situation in Shaanxi, his troops fought well in Shaanxi and won a lot of fame.

Around June of this year, Zhang Mengjing, the former governor of Yansui, was frightened to death by the ferocity of the righteous army, plus the Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen's Chrysostom reward this time! Hong Chengchou was promoted to the governor of Yansui and became a local magistrate. Since then, Hong Chengchou has been even more hardworking, and he is ruthless, bold and careful, and quick to do things.

Because there is an 'outsider' like Yang Sichang on the armed helicopter, Gao Dewei will not talk to Jian Xunlou, otherwise he knows that even if the young master is in front of the armed eunuchs of the West Factory, he will not care about anything when he speaks, from the last time he followed the young master to the bombing of Zunhua Town, he knew clearly the relationship between the armed eunuchs of the West Factory and the royal family and the prince's family, but this time there was one more Yang Sichang.

Of course, Yang Sichang will not talk to anyone, Yang Sichang knows very well in his heart what he is going to the three sides this time, he is a chess piece used by the emperor to hold his father hostage, this point, he has already known in his father's letters to himself, Yang He asked him to go to Shaanxi many times, but he didn't go! Yang Sichang wants to persuade his father!

The destination of Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen's trip was not Hancheng, but Datong, because the main force of the peasant army was concentrating on Shanxi! Shaanxi and Shanxi have become gathering places for peasant armies! In the west of the entire Gyeonggi region, the rebels have formed a flood trend! Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen needed to gather the men and horses of Cao Wenzhao, Sun Chuanting and Zuo Liangyu, who he had sent out earlier, in Hancheng!

Zuo Liangyu's people are Zuo Liangyu's own family background, Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen knows very well in his heart that although Zuo Liangyu is a patriotic warlord, but a warlord is a warlord after all, and when the country is strong, the centralized power is huge! The central army is at its peak, and there are actually no local warlords, even if there are, it is almost the same as nothing, but in the current critical situation of the Ming Dynasty, warlords abound, even if there are some places where there is not originally, if you are in a hurry, warlords will appear immediately! Even a patriotic warlord like Zuo Liangyu is just a warlord in the end, different from Cao Wenzhao and Sun Chuanting's army, the 1,000 people they each lead are the team members of their own Imperial Forest Army! Belong to the Central Army!

After Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen had no way to return to modern times, he would sigh that his central army was still too weak, too weak! There are only 2,000 people outside, and in his Gyeonggi area, there are only more than 4,000 Imperial Forest Army under Lu Xiangsheng, which adds up to less than 7,000 people, and it is not enough to defend the Gyeonggi area! If you want to suppress bandits, consolidate the country! An Min, he had to rely on the strength of the local government soldiers and local warlords, and his central power, until now, has very little ability to rule the local government!

"Lord Inspector, are we going to Datong?" After vomiting for a long time, Yang Sichang suddenly said a word.

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen was slightly surprised, the destination of this trip, he didn't tell anyone, just now, it still belongs to the category of military secrets! It is impossible for Yang Sichang to know, and Yang Sichang must be the first time to make an armed helicopter, so it is impossible to judge where he is going in the sky? (To be continued......)
