Chongzhen Wiretapping System

Chapter 242 Long live the emperor!

"The dog emperor killed the ministers at every turn. I heard that even the head of the first assistant was taken off. We sent people to bribe and spread rumors, so that the dog emperor killed Chen Qiyu, the dog official again. Isn't that all right?"

When everyone in the meeting hall heard the sound, they couldn't help being overjoyed. That's right, why didn't they expect this? They all turned their heads to look over, and found that this time, it was Zhang Xianzhong's adoptive son who was speaking, but it wasn't Zhang Dingguo, but Zhang Kewang. up.

This time, even Prime Minister Huideng praised: "Yes, this is a good idea. As expected of someone who can read and write, he has an idea!"

Among Zhang Xianzhong's four most capable adoptive sons, he was brave in battle, and the most important thing was his ability to read and write, and he was also well-known among the thieves.Therefore, Whedon said this.

When Zhang Xianzhong heard the praise, he also laughed, obviously very proud.

Relatively speaking, based on this, Zhang Kewang performed better than the other three adopted sons, so he became the head of Zhang Xianzhong's many adopted sons.

"Scholar, you have a lot of thoughts, not bad!" Luo Rucai also praised, but people listened to it, and I don't know if this praise is sincere!

However, Luo Rucai was right. The more you read this book, the more you will think about it. You may not listen to Zhang Xianzhong.In the original history, in the end he betrayed Zhang Xianzhong's last words and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, but the end result was not so good.

Luo Rucai's nickname is Cao Cao, so naturally he has his ghost ideas.On the basis of this hopeful idea, he added: "We can also lead the army to make some moves to make that dog official Chen Qiyu guilty. In this way, I believe that the dog official Chen Qiyu will be killed by his master sooner or later. !"

"Yes, Huang Hu, how about we fight Fengyang again? Haha!" Wang Guangen, the leader of the bandits, also said excitedly.

"..."

Now that there was a direction to deal with, other gangster leaders also spoke up one after another, and suddenly, the meeting hall became very lively.

And at the door, Zhang Kewang felt complacent when he heard this, and turned his head slightly to look at Zhang Dingguo, with disdain flashing in his eyes.

It seems to be saying, just by you, you are worthy of fighting with me?
No matter what these thieves were doing, Emperor Chongzhen had already led his army south, and he was about to reach Xi'an Mansion.

This is the Guanzhong Plain, and at a glance, there are at least a lot more grain fields than those in Yan'an Mansion, which makes Emperor Chongzhen somewhat relieved.

To be honest, there are few rivers in northern Shaanxi, and the land is cracked under severe drought.This made Emperor Chongzhen very worried.It was only in the Guanzhong Plain that he could still see green ones, which made him feel better.

You must know that relying solely on the money and food accumulated by the vassal prince's mansion can only be used as a temporary emergency, even if it is transported from other provinces, it is unrealistic, and the loss on the road is too great.The most important thing is that Shaanxi can produce its own food and achieve self-sufficiency.

Zheng Chongjian, the governor of the three sides who accompanied him, saw that the emperor was very concerned about the grain fields, so he introduced it to the emperor with a smile.As a matter of fact, the big officials of the Ming Dynasty also knew the importance of this food, so they paid more attention to this area.However, most of these grain fields are owned by vassal kings and landlords.

Regarding this, Emperor Chongzhen didn't take it seriously, so what if it was theirs, if you really want to talk about it, he is also the emperor.As long as there is food, they can be allowed to hand over the food to survive the famine.Those who are acquainted will supplement them.If you dare to do nothing, you will clean it up when you turn back. In an extraordinary moment, you have to do extraordinary things!
When he was discussing the food issue, suddenly a fast horse galloped over.

Zheng Chongjian looked up, and immediately said solemnly to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, it is the night of exploring the road."

When the army marches, it is of course necessary to send Ye Bu Zhou out in all directions, and there is no room for any sloppiness.If you don't stop galloping back at night, maybe there is an important military report.

Zheng Chongjian felt a little strange about this.Because according to the previous news, the main force of Li Zicheng's department has already rushed into Henan Mansion.There are only a small group of thieves remaining in the southeast of Shaanxi, around Shangluo Mountain, and they are not enough for an army to fill their teeth. It seems that there is no need to rush like this.

After thinking about it, he was suddenly shocked: Could it be that there are new thieves appearing in another place to make trouble?
This possibility is very high. In the land of Qin, when you wake up from sleep, you may receive news of rebellion and mutiny in many places. It was normal in the past.

Zheng Chongjian thought so, and when he turned his head to look at Emperor Chongzhen, he found that the emperor's face seemed a little serious, and he seemed to have thought of this.

When he got close, he could see that Ye Bushou was really panicked, and he knew it was not good news.

Zheng Chongjian was even more shocked when he saw it.Today's military power is stronger than ever before.This point, I believe this night does not accept should also be clear.But he was still in such a panic. Could it be that there was a huge riot somewhere?Or, was there a vassal king's clan killed by the rebels?
While he was thinking wildly, Jin Yiwei had already verified that he had not harvested that night and came over to report the situation: "Your Majesty, there is a locust plague in the Jingyang area. The overwhelming locusts are eating the crops there!"

"What?" Emperor Chongzhen was stunned when he heard this, and confirmed with some disbelief.

"What?" Zheng Chongjian was shocked when he heard it. This news shocked him even more than hearing the rebellion of the thieves.

Ye stopped listening, so he hurriedly reported it again.

In fact, in a year of severe drought, it is not normal to have locust plagues.Because the dry season is conducive to the breeding of locusts.Especially in the troubled times at the end of the Ming Dynasty, under the severe drought, how could the common people take preventive measures, and there were well-documented large-scale locust plagues almost every year during the reign of Chongzhen.Not only in Shaanxi, but also in Henan, Shandong and other places, locust plagues have broken out many times.

After Emperor Chongzhen confirmed the news of the locust plague, he couldn't help but feel very worried.It is rare that the grain fields here in the Guanzhong Plain are okay, yet another locust plague broke out.What can be done now is to minimize some losses as much as possible.

Thinking this way, he immediately issued an order and the whole army marched quickly to the locust disaster area.Even he himself followed the cavalry and rushed to Jingyang first.

As for the stray thieves, it's not important at this time, so you can let them go first.

It is only more than ten miles away to Jingyang, and it doesn't take much time for the cavalry to go on the road.

When Emperor Chongzhen led his army to the northern suburbs of Jingyang, not to mention the grain fields here, all the green that could be seen, including weeds, were gone.In the fields, you can still see some locusts flopping about alone.

Seeing this, he couldn't help feeling very heavy in his heart.It was originally a severe drought, and the people’s lives were hard, but suddenly this locust plague came again, eating all the greenery they saw. If I didn’t come, I don’t know how many people would starve to death, and how many people would take risks and leave On the road of rebellion and survival.

When he got closer to Jingyang, Emperor Chongzhen saw that there were many people in the dark to the north of the city.From a distance, it should be the people of Jingyang City.

They should be vigorously killing locusts!Seeing this, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help thinking.

Or the thunderous sound of horseshoes frightened the frightened people in Shaanxi. The crowd clearly showed signs of dispersing, as if they wanted to flee into the city.

Although red can be seen from a distance, there are also frontier soldiers among the thieves.Moreover, the official army is coming, is it a good thing?

However, the cavalry led by Emperor Chongzhen consisted of the Hussar Battalion and the Guanning Army, the elite cavalry of the Ming Dynasty, and their speed was so fast that the commoners rushed there before they had time to escape back to the city.

Seeing the well-equipped cavalry approaching, these common people felt a little more at ease. What they fear most is the kind of court officers and soldiers who look like beggars.

"May I ask which army is which, which Shangguan is leading the army?" A county magistrate came out from the crowd, followed by a group of squires, and asked the Ming generals in front of him with a smile.

However, he didn't get any reply. The soldiers of the Ming army just quickly made way for a passage, and then guarded on both sides, staring at the large group of Jingyang people.

In fact, these common people were also looking at these elite cavalry, some with fear, some with curiosity, and some with numbness and lifelessness.

The county magistrate was a little puzzled, but seeing the formation, he knew that there should be a big man leading the army, so he looked up at the passageway to get out of the way.

It's okay if you don't look at it, but when you look at it, you are shocked.I saw a young man surrounded by a group of military generals driving a horse over.The most important thing is that there are a group of Jinyi guards next to this young man, and even one of the Jinyi guards is wearing a python robe. If it is not the commander of the Jin Yiwei, who else can it be!

Of course, he had heard about the appearance of Jin Yiwei's commander in Shaanxi. After all, King Rui's house was confiscated. This matter itself caused a sensation in Shaanxi.

However, now the commander of the Jinyi Guards only stays by the young man's side.Obviously, his status is not as high as this young man.

Immediately, the magistrate of Jingyang immediately remembered a rumor that the emperor had already left the capital for his own conquest.

Thinking of this, he immediately opened his eyes wide, showing an inconceivable expression. Could it be that this young man is the current emperor?
He was only from Juren, and had not yet passed the palace examination, so he had never even met the emperor.However, Li Ruolian reminded him: "The emperor is here, why don't you meet him quickly?"

Hearing this, the county magistrate of Jingyang and the squires behind him were startled, they didn't dare to neglect, and quickly knelt down to greet him.Including the Jingyang people behind them, they were all frightened at the first moment, and quickly knelt down.There were also a few bold ones who secretly looked at the legendary emperor at the same time.

Emperor Chongzhen didn't ask them to get up immediately, and glanced around, only to find that there were tributes and other things in the place where these people gathered before. What is this worshiping?Taking a closer look, he became angry immediately.

When the locust plague comes, instead of organizing the people to cull the locusts, instead of worshiping the locust god here, there is no use!Extremely stupid!
Anger welled up, Emperor Chongzhen immediately pointed to the altar, and shouted sharply: "As the official of Jingyang, locusts came, but you didn't want to cull them in time. Instead, you worshiped God here. Into the dog's belly?"

The county magistrate of Jingyang prostrated himself on the ground, trembling slightly, he knew that the emperor was furious, and he was afraid that he would be in trouble.But he was naturally not reconciled, so he lay down there and played back: "Your Majesty, there are too many locusts to kill. And some people say that whoever wants to kill the locusts is disrespectful to the royal family, and the censor must impeach him." Therefore, the lower officials discussed with them, and finally someone suggested to worship the gods, which is said to be very effective..."

"Enough!" Emperor Chongzhen was very angry, he didn't want to listen any more, and immediately interrupted, "Time is running out, and I will settle accounts with you later. Now let the people in the city go and kill the locusts immediately. , I will also ask the army to help, and these locusts must be wiped out, so that they will not harm other lands again!"

"Criminals obey the order!" The magistrate of Jingyang immediately received the order when he heard it, and then quickly ordered the gentry and subordinate officials behind him to arrange for the culling of locusts.

On Emperor Chongzhen's side, apart from the troops who needed to be vigilant, all the troops immediately joined the team to cull the locusts.

Then, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, an incredible scene appeared.

The elite heavenly force put down their swords, guns, swords and halberds, picked up branches and brooms, and mixed with the common people, just outside Jingyang City, together they slaughtered the overwhelming locusts.

It has to be said that while the people of Jingyang were working hard to cull the locusts, they suddenly felt grateful from the bottom of their hearts to the officers and soldiers around them.For the first time in so many years, they felt that it was great to have officers and soldiers!
Many people secretly glanced in the direction of the emperor when they were sweating profusely.Seeing the emperor, he stood on a high place and commanded the army to cull the locusts.Under the scorching sun, even though there was an umbrella to shade him, he was still sweating profusely.However, the emperor didn't seem to care about it at all. Instead, he looked anxious, worried about them, and focused on killing the locusts.

In this regard, they all came to a conclusion in their hearts: the emperor is a good emperor!
In the afternoon, Zheng Chongjian, the governor of the three sides, led the infantry, basically all the frontier troops from Qin, and rushed there at a rapid march.

It has to be said that Zheng Chongjian and these Qin frontier soldiers were very shocked by the scene they saw.

Outside the city of Jingyang, there are figures of the powerful army of the Son of Heaven everywhere, mixing with the people of Jingyang, busy in the fields and mountains, trying to kill the locusts all over the mountains and plains.

And their emperor had already joined the ranks of culling the locusts.He was holding a branch and waving it at the green locusts that were still frantically eating away at them.

This scene was deeply imprinted in the minds of each of their Qin land frontier soldiers.

At this moment, there was no need to say anything, regardless of the exhaustion from the hasty march, all the soldiers immediately threw themselves into the ranks of killing locusts.

The emperor is like this, the guest army is like this, as the master, how can he not try his best!

What about the locust plague?The emperor will lead us to fight against the natural disaster of locusts!

Your Majesty, long live!
