Chongzhen Wiretapping System

Chapter 228 Shave the tartar bald

Taking advantage of people's unpreparedness, King Rui wrote a suicide note, and then hanged himself.

In his suicide note, he said that after leaving Hanzhong City, he saw the miserable people's livelihood along the way, with people dying of hunger everywhere, and then he realized that people's livelihood was so difficult, and what he did was really a shame to his ancestors and himself. King status.

In his suicide note, King Rui also called on other vassal kings to listen to the emperor's words, to have the consciousness of being the descendants of Taizu, not to follow him, to resist the order and not to obey, and to do things to help the thieves grow stronger.

In the end, he said in his suicide note that he was also fooled by thieves.These things happened because of the thieves pretending to be businessmen, instigating and bewitching him to make trouble when people's livelihood was difficult.Now that he has repented, he dares to face the emperor shamelessly, and face the ancestors, the only way to atone for his sins is to die. He also gives a piece of advice to other feudal lords, don't learn from him.

After this incident happened, Li Ruolian immediately sent someone to report to the emperor urgently, and at the same time pleaded guilty, saying that the people he sent to guard him were not strict, so that such a thing happened.

In this regard, Emperor Chongzhen informed the vassals of the world about the matter of King Rui.At the same time, feeling that King Yu Rui had already pleaded guilty, he pardoned the youngest of his family, but his title was gone, and he became a commoner's son.Let the other feudal lords take a good look at King Rui's suicide note and take it as a warning!

Regarding this, King Qin and the vassal princes in Shaanxi who had exchanged money and food according to their will couldn't help but feel very afraid.This matter, they actually knew in their hearts that King Rui didn't even think about plotting against him, but just didn't want to lose money.He wanted to take advantage of his close relationship with the emperor, and happened to have an excuse, the land rent was robbed, so he wanted to make a fuss.Unexpectedly, the emperor was so ruthless.It's a good thing that I didn't have King Xuerui go to the knife's edge.Otherwise, I am afraid that even King Rui will not end up, and the whole family will be gone, just like the previous King Ning.

Whether it was King Rui's refusal to obey the edict, or "beating" the imperial envoy, generally speaking, in the eyes of the vassal king, they would be reprimanded at most.For example, if you resist the edict and don't obey it, don't Korean and Chinese officials do less?There are things that refute the emperor's will, and it is not a big deal to resist the will.There is also the "beating" of imperial envoys, how to "beat" the law, this is a problem.They feel that this word is too exaggerated, at most it will embarrass the imperial envoy.

In this way, from this matter, let all the vassal kings see a fact clearly.The current emperor is ruthless.Even King Rui would deal with it strictly if he disobeyed his will, let alone other vassal kings.If anyone is King Xue Rui who wants to play tricks and doesn't want to listen to the emperor, he will definitely end badly.

Thinking of this, many vassal kings, unless they shut the door and their closest relatives, scolded the emperor for being cold-blooded, but when they usually showed it, they were indeed a lot better, and no one dared to say anything.

In fact, it is not difficult to understand this matter. Today's vassal kings do not have any power at all.All that can be had is a good background, and this still requires the emperor to admit it.Otherwise, if you don't enter the genealogy, you won't even have the chance for your own descendants to become feudal kings.You can offend anyone, but you must not offend the emperor.

Of course, some of the vassal kings also scolded King Rui for such a state matter, and they didn't distinguish between the serious and the serious. They deserved it for resisting the order and not obeying it!

However, there are still too few princes who can think this way.

Of course, there is a time process for these things, and they will be manifested slowly afterwards.But at the moment, the news is still on the way.

Li Ruolian, the commander of Jinyiwei, was only reprimanded for a few words, and there was no punishment. At this time, he was in the Governor's Mansion, accompanying Zheng Chongjian in arranging the Hetao matter.

But on the surface, no one knew the emperor's true intentions. Zheng Chongjian was dispatching troops, and it was believed that he was preparing to encircle and suppress the bandits.

Even Turge, who was in the prison, was deliberately induced to know that the Ming Dynasty was in chaos again, and the thieves from all over the place started to make trouble again, and the noise was very fierce.The emperor of the Ming Dynasty personally marched, and even put on a tough stance, forcing the local vassals to spend money and food for the military affairs of encircling and suppressing thieves.

These news can be regarded as true, at least the official circles and folks today think so.The thieves have indeed grown rapidly, and it seems that there are thieves everywhere.

Regarding such a large layout, Zheng Chongjian couldn't help but sighed to Li Ruolian: "I didn't expect that the emperor would take this opportunity to deal with the Hetao Tartars by the way. I can assure you that no one would have thought of this. From the perspective of military tactics, it has already been done." By surprise, even before the battle begins, I, Ming, have already won half of the battle!"

No one else was present, just the two of them drinking tea.

Hearing this, Li Ruolian just smiled slightly and said, "It's also thanks to the emperor's strategizing that he was able to successfully drive away the Jian captives this time!"

After hearing this, Zheng Chongjian nodded happily.By this time, the details of King Qin's war had already been passed on. Of course he would know that if the emperor hadn't become wise all of a sudden, no matter how powerful Lu Xiangsheng, Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting were, they wouldn't have done anything under the general situation.

Now he has seen a wise and mighty emperor from the emperor's means of resolving the food owed to the frontier army, and his ambition to solve the bandits and Hetao tartars together.In this regard, as a courtier, he was naturally very pleased.

However, after being happy for a while, he still poured cold water on him, and said a little worriedly: "There should be no problem in defeating the Hetao Tartars now, but it is still very difficult to wipe them out and get rid of the Tumot tribe once and for all! The grassland Tartars have no city to defend, and if the situation is not good, it will be troublesome to escape to other places."

When Li Ruolian heard this, he didn't care. He immediately shook his head and said, "The governor is overthinking. Since the emperor has decided to deal with the steppe Tatars, he has naturally thought about this. Letting Turge know the news is one of the steps. In addition, , the emperor personally visited the cavalry to hide in Datong, and he must have made preparations for it. Don’t worry, Lord Governor, just do what the emperor wants, and you will be surprised when you look back!"

Hearing this, Zheng Chongjian couldn't help but look at the Commander of Jin Yiwei in front of him.

He knew in his heart that if he wanted to wipe out the Hetao Tartars, the most important thing was news.Judging by the appearance of the Commander of the Jinyiwei, he looked confident. Could it be that there are spies of the Jinyiwei on the side of the Tartars, and they can send back news in time?If this is the case, there is indeed a chance of successfully annihilating the Hetao Tartars!
Of course Zheng Chongjian didn't know. In fact, the "Jinyiwei secret agent" he thought of was actually more efficient. As long as Turge was released, then with Turge's status, he would be able to clearly know the upper-level movements of the Hetao Tartars. Chu.It can also be passed back in real time, so that there is sufficient time to prepare here.It can be said that this "secret agent" is the most powerful spy ever!

Regarding this idea, he did not say anything, but started another topic: "Calculating the time, if the Tumote Department agrees to exchange war horses for these Jianzhou Jurchen, there should be news soon. I don't know what the emperor said about it." , what is the purpose?"

For example, is it necessary to make things difficult for the quality of this war horse?
In addition, if the armored heavy cavalry is formed, the most important condition is actually the choice of war horse.Ordinary war horses simply cannot bear the weight of armored men and horses, or in other words, they cannot last at all.

If Tumed's troops can send good war horses this time, measured according to this standard, then the combat power of the Ming cavalry will be greatly improved.

However, Li Ruolian shook his head and said with a smile: "There's no need to be embarrassed about such a trivial matter. Anyway, soon, all the horses in Tumote's department will belong to me, Daming."

Hearing this, he seemed to be full of confidence, which made Zheng Chongjian a little surprised. Could it be that this was also the emperor's attitude, so he was so confident?
While he was thinking about it, suddenly a personal guard from outside quickly stepped in, and said with joy: "My lord, there is an urgent delivery from Yansui, saying that the Tumote Department has agreed to exchange war horses for Jianzhou Jurchen, and there is no bargaining." , are all good war horses, and are on their way back to the pass.”

Hearing this, Zheng Chongjian couldn't help but be overjoyed, this first step went very smoothly!It can also be seen from this that these Jianzhou Jurchens are very important in the eyes of the Tumed Department.

Regarding this, he turned his head to look at Li Ruolian, to see what he meant?Of course, it was mainly because Li Ruolian represented the emperor.Otherwise, he, the trilateral governor, is in charge here.

When Li Ruolian saw it, he smiled and said to Zheng Chongjian: "Then follow the plan. When the critical moment comes, the emperor will send someone over."

Zheng Chongjian thought, it should be that he would secretly send someone to report the progress of the matter here to the emperor, so the emperor would send someone to pass the decree at a critical moment.

With that in mind, he began to make arrangements.

On this day, the Jianzhou women in the prison of the Governor's Mansion were really bored, when suddenly there was the sound of chaotic footsteps outside the cell, and the soldiers who had escorted them before came in.I can't help but say that after entering the prison, they were beaten according to these Jianzhou Jurchen.

Some Jianlu wanted to resist, but his hands and feet were chained and he was imprisoned for a long time.Those soldiers of the Ming army scolded Jianlu for their cruelty, while repairing them.

In this regard, Turge is not surprised but happy, because he knows that it is likely that people like himself are going to be let go, and these smart dogs are like this.So, he yelled loudly in barbaric language, telling his subordinates not to resist, so as not to be beaten extra.

However, what he didn't expect was that these Ming soldiers were still angry after beating them, and even cut off their money rat tails.This time, even Turge became angry. This is a humiliation, the biggest humiliation to their Jianzhou Jurchens!

Obviously, they never thought that it would be humiliating to force the Han people they plundered to be shaved into money rat tails.Now this is just repaying the other person with his own way!

Turger and others wanted to resist, but it was useless.Han Leyu, a thousand households in the hussars camp, led a group of men, and with the assistance of the prison guards, he pressed the ground firmly and shaved cleanly.

"Haha... these have become monks!" Han Leyu was in a good mood, holding the newly cut rat tail in his hand, and said to Turge who looked angry, "Wait, go back and put down the bandits. How about going to Liaodong and shaving off all their money rat tails, a bunch of bald heads?"

Turge was so angry that he couldn't imagine what it would be like for the male and female Jurchens of Jianzhou to have their heads shaved. He swore angrily: "Minggou, you..."

"Pah!" There was a sound, and Han Leyu slapped him across the face and shouted sternly, "If you keep croaking, do you believe I will turn all of you damn Tatars into eunuchs?"

Hearing this, Turger immediately shut up.However, there was anger in his eyes, staring at Han Leyu as if he wanted to burn him to death.

Han Leyu didn't care, he threw the rattail in his hand on the ground, stomped on it a few times and said, "It's almost there, let's drive them out, it's a good deal for them."

So, his men pushed and kicked them out of the prison, and after many days, they saw the light of day again.However, at this time, these captives, including Turg, did not have the joy of being released, but were all very angry.This humiliation before leaving obviously deeply wounded their self-esteem, if they had any.

When Turge and the others were taken to the gate of the governor's mansion, they saw that many troops had gathered in the square here, and the governor of the Ming Dynasty was also there, giving lectures there, and it seemed that they had been speaking for a long time about there.

Turg tried his best to calm down, and listened attentively to the words of the Governor of the Ming Kingdom.

"...Li Bandit has captured several counties now, and the banditry is huge." Zheng Chongjian said in a loud voice with a serious face, "This time I have drawn you out to go to the south to stop Liu Bandit from jumping into the Central Plains, and Zhang Bandit They respond to each other, causing chaos to the people of the Central Plains, let’s go!”

"General, I obey!" Upon hearing this, the generals in front of him immediately clasped their fists and accepted the order, then returned to their respective armies and began to lead the troops.

At this time, Han Leyu stepped forward and reported to Zheng Chongjian that Jianlu had been brought.

After hearing this, Zheng Chongjian turned his head to look at the Jian captives a little far away, and then said loudly to Han Leyu: "I will leave this matter to you, and send it to Hanzhong as soon as possible after changing to war horses. Rogues are good at wandering, and they urgently need cavalry to encircle and suppress them. "

After finishing speaking, he led his staff and guards, and set off with the army, apparently to busy himself with suppressing the bandits.

"The general obeys orders!" Han Leyu immediately agreed after hearing this, and sent the governors of the three sides to leave.

From the beginning to the end, Turg secretly kept these in his heart.At the same time, he cursed secretly, it would be best for those thieves to make more noise!
Afterwards, he and his men drove to the north like sheep being herded.

Along the way, Turg saw that the people's livelihood in Shaanxi was in ruins, and victims were everywhere. Fortunately, it was said that the princes' palaces from all over the country had provided food, and many places were providing disaster relief.Although they also encountered a small group of thieves, the Beijing cavalry they escorted were all elites, so it didn't affect them much.

Turg kept silent, watching all this with hatred eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.
