At the same time, Jin Yiwei's arrest of Donglin governors in various places was staged at the same time.

in Henan.

Xia Liecheng, the general soldier of Henan, received two letters successively, one was the "Suppression of the Rebel Minister Qin Shu Huaiyu" by luck from the Donglin Party, and the other was the holy decree of Chongzhen.

Xia Liecheng did not hesitate to choose to accept the order, and then ordered his troops to stand still.

When the Jinyi guard rushed into the Henan governor's yamen, there was not a single soldier in the governor's yamen, only a few officials. The official not only helped open the door, but also took the initiative to take the Jinyi guard to find the location of the governor of Henan.

This is true in Guizhou, Yunnan and other places.

Under the powerful public opinion offensive and the careful arrangements of Qin Shuhuai, Sun Chengzong and others, the army and the people in most parts of the country were not in chaos, let alone rebelled.

Because no one believed that the Donglin Party would win.

Even the generals who were personally raised by the Donglin Party, in the face of the general trend, in order to protect themselves, also chose to cut off Donglin categorically, and some even personally led troops to arrest the Donglin Party.

......

Chen Luo's burial ceremony is going on in an orderly manner.

The arrest of officials such as the governor and the prefect of Donglin was also carried out according to the plan.

This is the best tribute to Chen Luo, and it is also a tribute to the thousands of people who died in vain because of the Donglin Party.

Chongzhen announced on the spot that the loyal and brave marquis of Chen Luo, the prince Shaobao, and his son Yin sealed thousands of households in brocade.

After Chen Luo's clothes were buried, he immediately set off and was escorted back to his hometown by the brocade guards.

Along the way, the people were all grateful, and they lined up on both sides of the road, kneeling to send the general's soul back to his hometown.

Chen Luo's unjust case has finally been completely rehabilitated.

And Chongzhen also gave the Chen family the honor they deserved. The high standard and grand scale of the burial ceremony are beyond the dreams of Ren Qi and the four sisters and brothers of the Chen family!

At this moment, Qi felt that he had survived until now, and it was worth it!

It's worth it!

After Chen Luo's coffin was sent out, Chongzhen returned to the palace.

But there's still a big drama just yet!

That is to kill the king and turn Zhenzhen!

The squire of the Criminal Department read out Wang Huazhen's crimes in public, and there were 21 major crimes, among which the most important were bullying the king, lying about the military situation, framing Zhongliang, and creating the tragedy of the Zhao family.

After the crime was read, the veterans of Shenyang City that year, that is, the surviving "bandits" in Weifenglin, came up to accuse Wang Huazhen. Subsequently, Zhao Xinian came up again and described in detail the causes and consequences of the tragedy of the Zhao family.

When everyone recalled the wronged past, they all burst into tears and were overwhelmed with grief.

aroused the anger of the onlookers.

"Kill Wang Huazhen!

"A thousand knives have eaten his flesh, and they can't get rid of their hatred. ”

Wang Huazhen was sentenced to death by Ling Chi without accident, and the head of the nine sides was passed on.

Under the indignation of public opinion, Wang Huazhen trembled and was tied to a pillar with a faceless face.

The executioner took out a box of tools, all of which were various blades, which were used to cut different parts of the human body.

One, two, three......

Like a slice of fish.

In the cold air, Wang Huazhen's miserable wail echoed.

And the people shook the heavens!

At this time, the operation to arrest high-ranking officials in Donglin was still going on across the country.

As expected, the generals did not help the Donglin Party.

Everything went smoothly.

But there is one exception.

That's Sichuan!

When the Jinyi guards in Sichuan tried to storm the governor's yamen to arrest Cao Guozhang, they were surrounded by a large number of guards. Of the more than 500 brocade guards, only 50 or 60 people broke out of the encirclement, and the rest were all martyred.

At the same time, Cao Guozhang decisively ordered on the same day that the whole Sichuan was under martial law and entered a state of combat readiness!

On September 21 of the third year of Chongzhen, He Renlong led an army of 20,000 to try to enter Guangyuan City, one of the gateways of Sichuan, in the name of clearing the remaining bandits of Gao Yingxiang's department.

But it was categorically rejected by Li Zhongming, the defender of Guangyuan City.

Li Zhongming's reason was that He Renlong did not have a holy decree and an order from the military department, but only an order from the governor of Shaanxi, which was not in accordance with the rules, so he refused to allow He Renlong to enter the city.

Sichuan's intention to be self-reliant is clearly revealed.

Because in this sensitive period, if Cao Guozhang does not want to stand on his own, out of the perspective of showing his loyalty, he will inevitably let the imperial army's army enter Sichuan.

He Renlong knew that the stakes were important and did not dare to act rashly, so he immediately withdrew his troops and returned to Ningqiang County, and immediately sent troops to inform Hong Chengchou.

At the same time, Zhou Yanru, escorted by the masters of the Dark Cloud Sect, quietly arrived at Ziyang County, on the border between Shaanxi and Sichuan. Because Lu Xiangsheng had set up a heavy army in Ziyang to intercept Zhou Yanru, Zhou Yanru abandoned the carriage and was carried into the mountains by the people of the Dark Cloud Sect.

Obviously, this route was surveyed and planned in advance. After they entered the mountain, there were immediately locals who were familiar with the local mountain roads to come out to pick them up, and seventy or eighty Dark Cloud Sect experts came out to protect them.

Unfortunately, the careful Lu Xiangsheng still arranged nearly 200 soldiers and horses to guard this inconspicuous mountain road.

The two sides met in the mountains, and a great battle ensued.

At this time, there were nearly 100 people in the Dark Cloud Sect, and almost all the masters had already gathered here, even the sect leader Zhou Huai'an had also come.

Zhou Huai'an, the true name of the Dark Cloud Sect Master. This name is only known to a few people such as Zhou Yanru. He was originally also a scholar of Donglin, but at the same time he was a martial arts family, and because of the persecution of the eunuch party, his family was ruined, and it was the Donglin party who saved him. Therefore, he has been loyal to the Donglin Party since then, and founded the Dark Cloud Sect, which is specially used by the Donglin Party to drive.

Two hundred soldiers against one hundred Dark Cloud Sect masters, obviously there is no advantage.

After a major battle between the two sides, 200 officers and troops were defeated, and only a dozen people were left to escape.

Zhou Yanru went through a lot of hardships and finally arrived in Sichuan.

Lu Xiangsheng's desk soon had two more reports.

One is He Renlong's, and the other is responsible for intercepting Zhou Yanru's officers and soldiers.

Judging from the report, Zhou Yanru's entry into Sichuan, and Sichuan's desire to be self-reliant, is a foregone conclusion!

Lu Xiangsheng didn't dare to slack off at all, and immediately sent someone to expedite eight hundred miles to bring this matter to the court!

After Chongzhen got the secret recital, he immediately summoned Qin Shuhuai and Sun Chengzong into the palace to discuss countermeasures.

However, he did not panic, because the armies in other parts of the country did not mutiny, and only Sichuan stood on its own, so there was nothing to fear.

In the final analysis, this war to purge the Donglin Party was much smoother than he expected!

He firmly believed that with Qin Shuhuai's 40,000 troops, it would be no difficult to pacify Sichuan.

The three of them were in the imperial study and began to discuss countermeasures.

Sun Chengzong said, "Although Cao Guozhang has been in Sichuan for many years, he has a good foundation. However, the people of Sichuan have no intention of standing on their own, and there are also a large number of soldiers in the Sichuan army who are coerced by Cao Guozhang and individual generals, so our army only needs to fight a few battles of Liwei. ”

Chongzhen said, "The teacher is right. In the battle, we will take the fight as the supplement, and the heart as the top. When it comes to the battle of attacking the heart, Brother Qin is the best. Brother Qin, what do you see?"

Qin Shuhuai thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, Sun Ge Lao, there are many natural dangers in Sichuan, as long as Cao Guozhang has one or two thousand soldiers loyal to him guarding the natural dangers, then our army will also have to pay a great price to calm down." In addition, now that the official army has just experienced several major battles, there is a huge shortage of troops. If there is some hindrance in the battle into Sichuan, and the Demon Sect in Gansu takes the opportunity to disturb it, then it will be miserable. ”

Qin Shuhuai's idea is very simple, that is, he doesn't want the soldiers of the imperial court to fight his own people. Moreover, although the Demon Sect did not move for the time being, he was really not optimistic that Yan Chengzhi would be able to control the Demon Sect's military power for a long time, so he had to guard against it.
