Chongzhen Wiretapping System

Chapter 269 Kill
One thing, Emperor Chongzhen was not mistaken, that is, these old thieves have rich experience in the battlefield.

When they saw that the mobilized army began to form formations and surrounded them from all directions, especially when many musketeers and archers were mobilized, they felt something was wrong.No, to be precise, they knew what fate they might face next.

Sun Kewang was a little desperate at first, although there were about 1 of them in total, which seemed quite a number, but these days, they could only eat a little porridge to survive, so how could they have the strength to resist!
With a "plop", he first knelt down, facing Emperor Chongzhen on the top of the wall, and shouted in panic, "Your Majesty, the grass people are going to fight Jianlu, the grass people are willing to fight Jianlu..."

Not only him, but other long-standing thieves also fell to their knees, begging for mercy, and asking to go to Liaodong to fight the Jian captives.

The scene immediately became a mess.

Seeing this scene, the thieves in the other two queues were a little dumbfounded: from just now, the emperor should be easy to talk to, and he even paid them a lot of money in advance considering their situation after returning.This kind of thing is not something that ordinary emperors can do!
Now, there are ten thousand people in front of us. Judging by their appearance, is it true that the emperor really wants to kill them all?This... this is impossible!

They have the leisure to think about this question, to wonder whether the emperor really meant it.But Sun Kewang, who was the person involved, was so anxious that he was sweating profusely in such a short period of time.He didn't see the emperor's reaction, so he turned to the 5000 people and shouted: "Dingguo, brother, please help me, Dingguo..."

Speaking of which, when Li Dingguo chose to voluntarily go to Liaodong to fight Jianlu, he actually laughed secretly in his heart: Is it because his conscience can't get over it, so he went to Liaodong to die?Why have you been so stupid for so many years?

No wonder, these years, I have been able to read and write, and I am more than a star and a half smarter than Li Dingguo. Therefore, I am the boss of all the adopted sons under the name of my adoptive father!

But at this time, Sun Kewang had long forgotten that he had ever thought this way, but grasped at a possible straw, thinking that the people who the emperor said had a conscience were probably referring to Li Dingguo and others. If he came forward to intercede, What if I can show mercy?

Therefore, for this possible straw, he shouted at Li Dingguo, wanting to seek his help.And other long-standing thieves also asked Li Guo and others for help, or begged the emperor, and the scene became even more chaotic.

These people at this time, without the arrogance and unscrupulousness they used to have when they were thieves, are mostly just ordinary people who are afraid of death.Crying and begging for mercy, just to survive.

Emperor Chongzhen watched all this, but remained indifferent.I just thought in my heart: When you people harmed other people, did you ever think that they also cried and begged for mercy? They didn't want to be thieves, they just wanted to live. Have you passed them?Compared to them, I gave you a chance anyway, but it's a pity that you didn't choose it yourself!

"Fire arrows!"

"shooting!"

"..."

With an order, under the cover of the spear phalanx, the archers and musketball soldiers began to execute the military order.

"Bang bang bang..."

"Blah blah blah..."

Amidst the sound of bowstrings and the sound of firecrackers shooting, there was the scream of an old thief.

On one side is the elite Ming army, on the other side are the old thieves who are unarmed, and have no food for many days, and have no strength at all, how can they resist?
These long-standing thieves, who were desperate, rushed over like crazy, but in front of the archers and firecrackers, there was a phalanx of spears, and the result of rushing up could only be stabbed into gourds of blood.This is not an equal battle at all, but a one-sided massacre.To be precise, it is the officers and soldiers who are carrying out the execution, on behalf of those countless wronged people who were killed by this old thief, to pay back the blood debt!
Tens of thousands of people kept falling in a pool of blood, screaming and wailing there. This scene deeply shocked everyone who saw it.

Li Dingguo naturally heard Sun Kewang's cry, but there was nothing he could do.

In fact, he also knew that if Sun Kewang didn't follow, it already showed that the two had different perceptions of the past.This point, in fact, has already been reflected in normal times.The point of view of the two is very different when it comes to handling things.

Not to mention the far ones, but the nearest ones. In order to avenge his adoptive father, Li Dingguo decided to stay and escort Zuo Menggeng to surrender.However, Sun Kewang didn't have this idea at all.

In this regard, Li Dingguo did not force him, but only demanded of himself.

But before just now, the emperor has actually made it very clear.After being a thief for so many years, no matter whether he intends to or not, he has always hurt many people.The emperor gave the opportunity to fight against Jianlu and save the people of Liaodong from fire and water, but Sun Kewang still did not choose this path.

Thinking of this, Li Dingguo turned his head to look at Liu Wenxiu and Ai Nengqi beside him, feeling a little more relieved in his heart.

Although Liu Wenxiu and Ai Nengqi did not join him in surrendering for his adoptive father, but after they heard about the emperor and what he said, they chose to go to Liaodong to fight the Jian captives.Therefore, they can live!

Li Dingguo looked up at the place where the blood flowed all over the ground, his eyes were indifferent.In fact, he has seen many scenes like this, even worse than this one.At this moment, he just thought in his heart, in the next life, let's be a good man!
Then, he raised his head to look at the figure on the top of the wall, and gained another understanding of the current emperor: the emperor is not only merciful, but also very iron-blooded!

People who have this idea account for the vast majority of the remaining thieves and soldiers of the Ming army.

But they also recognize clearly: the emperor's kindness is kindness to the common people!The emperor's iron blood is for those who are taught but never changed, who are treacherous and evil!

Such an emperor is the real saint!
Half an hour later, nearly 1 long-standing thieves were all lying in a pool of blood, and the officers and soldiers had inspected them. Even if they were still alive, they would make up for it.Then, Cao Bianjiao, He Renlong, and Zhou Yuji went to the top of the city to hand in the order.

At this time, Nanyang Chengtou City became very quiet again, except for the sound of war horses, there was only the sound of pennants!Even Nanyang City may have been affected by the previous sounds, and it became very quiet.

Emperor Chongzhen glanced at all the people below, and by looking at their expressions, he knew what he intended to do, and got their approval.

Speaking of which, there is actually no one who does not hate these old thieves.At least the people in the nearly [-] queue hated the old thieves among the thieves.It was these people who brought them to this end.If the emperor hadn't come, it is very likely that they would have become dry bones on the side of the road without knowing when.

On the top of the city, Emperor Chongzhen didn't seem to see the corpses below, but said loudly: "My wish is that all my people can live and work in peace and contentment! For this reason, I am working hard and hope to achieve this goal as soon as possible."

After finishing speaking, he drove back to Nanyang City.As for these things outside, Chen Qiyu, the governor of the five provinces, will finish them off.

It takes a lot of energy to register the information of all living thieves, to issue bank notes of the Emperor of Ming Dynasty to those who can go home, and to register those who went to Liaodong to fight Jian captives.

Of course, Emperor Chongzhen didn't become the shopkeeper, but he had his own affairs to attend to.

Up to now, the rogue rebellion in Daming has subsided for the time being.As for whether the word "temporarily" can be removed, it depends on the follow-up disaster relief situation.If there is no food and the people affected by the disaster cannot survive, even if there are no Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, there will definitely be people like Zhang Zicheng and Li Xianzhong.

The matter of disaster relief may last for several years.

This matter is much more difficult than defeating the thieves.Involving all aspects, such as reforming the tax system, developing production, rectifying the administration of officials, etc., many things still affect the whole body, and it is not so easy to do.

Of course, no matter how difficult it is, since you want to rejuvenate Daming, you must do it!
Fortunately, by this time, especially since the Yujia's expedition this time, some conditions have matured, and when it is time to be tough, it should be nothing!

Putting aside this relatively distant question, Emperor Chongzhen could not help but focus on the chieftain rebellion in southern Yunnan, which is known as the Shapu Rebellion in history.

From the fourth year of Chongzhen, Pu Ming, the chieftain of Ami Prefecture, began to rebel. Now it has been 12 years since Chongzhen, but this rebellion, although Pu Ming is dead, his mother-in-law Wan is still continuing to rebel, and has united with other chieftains A sign of rebellion together.

Compared with the Jianlu rebellion in Liaodong and the bandit rebellion, the Tusi rebellion in southern Yunnan had a much smaller scope of influence.However, after all, they have not been suppressed, and they have been rebelling all the time, which has an immeasurable impact on the stability of Daming.

Yunnan is in charge of Mu Tianbo, Duke of Guizhou, but he is only in his 20s and lacks the ability of his ancestor Muying.It can be said that the situation in Yunnan is not optimistic.

This time the royal driver is going out, it is a rare opportunity.If possible, it would be better to continue going south to suppress the rebellion and wipe out all the rebel chieftains!Emperor Chongzhen thought so in his heart, but sighed again: The so-called ideal is full, but the reality is very skinny, it is the problem he is currently encountering!
Nanyang Prefecture is located in Hubei and Guizhou provinces on the other side of Yunnan.If you want to use the traffic of this era to go to southern Yunnan to suppress, you don't know how long it will take on the road.

If it's just a matter of time, it's really nothing!
However, the march of the army will cost money and food, and it is not a small amount.As far as the current financial capacity of the imperial court is concerned, the money copied from Shanxi merchants will cost a lot of money, so it must be saved.

Another important reason is that the main force of the army he leads, whether it is the three major battalions or the Qin soldiers, is the army from the north. If he goes all the way south to Yunnan to suppress the rebellion, will the climate adapt?Maybe, non-combat attrition will make myself unbearable!
Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help sighing when he thought of this: The Ming Empire is indeed a bit big!Of course, if you want to make the sun never set, you still have to keep working hard.

This is the first time I've left Beijing, and it's not good to be out for a long time. If I go south, at least I will spend the Chinese New Year outside.But now the main enemy of the Ming Dynasty is actually the Jianlu of Liaodong.As the emperor of Ming Dynasty, it would be bad if he left for too long!

Thinking about it this way, Emperor Chongzhen still forgot, and did not intend to continue to lead the army south to suppress the rebellion.

However, the Tusi rebellion cannot be ignored.Otherwise, the chieftains in Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and other places will see those rebel chieftains living well, and they might follow suit.

The She'an Rebellion had already exhausted people and money in Sichuan and other provinces in the Ming Dynasty, and drained financial and material resources; if another major chieftain rebellion broke out, it would be really unbearable!
Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen thought of a countermeasure after thinking about it for a long time.

After relaxing a little in his heart, he frowned again after reading the feedback from the wiretapping seeds.

On the Shanhaiguan side, Sun Chuanting, the governor of Jiliao, and the generals of Guanning, that is, those people headed by Zu Dashou, the conflict gradually came to the fore.The reason is that Sun Chuanting wants to clean up the military farmland, and most of these fields are now occupied by local generals such as Zu Dashou.

Emperor Chongzhen was a little worried that if Sun Chuanting didn't handle it well, it would cause serious consequences.

In the original history, in fact, the Guan Ning army already had a tendency to be independent from the imperial court.Or to put it more bluntly, Zu Dashou has the tendency of warlords and thinks that Guan Ning is the territory of his ancestors.It is also because of this that he was caught between the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty, and became his Caotou King.

Huang Taiji recruited him again and again, wanting to take Shanhaiguan as his own, pass through Shanhaiguan, and watch the inside of the pass, but Zu Dashou didn't agree. He pretended to surrender several times when he was in desperate situation, and then fled back to his own territory.In order to achieve this goal, he did not hesitate to kill the generals of the court as his sincerity of surrender, which is beyond comparison.

Emperor Chongzhen thought about it for a while, and felt that the three major battalions still had to return to the capital to sit in command.If something really happened in Shanhaiguan, the three battalions could rush to suppress it.And this is also one of the reasons why he does not plan to go south to counter the rebellion.

Considering the matter of Shanhaiguan, Emperor Chongzhen naturally thought of Wu Sangui, the general beside him.This time he accompanied him on the expedition, and his performance was pretty good, at least he was a qualified general of the Ming army.After accumulating meritorious service, it's time to be promoted to the general army.

However, with him and the [-] cavalry he brought, Emperor Chongzhen did not intend to let them go back to Shanhaiguan.It is possible to accept it as part of the Beijing Camp as the next step to reform the Beijing Camp.But based on the situation in Shanhaiguan, it is not enough right now.It is best to keep Wu Sangui a little farther away from Shanhaiguan.

They are all from the north, so they are not very suitable for going south to counter the rebellion.Then where to arrange him so that he won't have the intention of doubting the arrangement?Emperor Chongzhen thought about this question for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up.
