Chongzhen Wiretapping System

Chapter 524 State Compensation
In Jinzhou City, no matter whether it is the common people or the soldiers, it is different from the previous concept that the emperor is superior, and one is not there for the other, and it has nothing to do with the common people; at this time, they are all worried about the emperor's kindness. .

In the past few years, the current emperor has gradually cracked down on Jianlu and improved their lives, including repaying the military salary, checking the grain fields that were annexed by the generals and families of the ancestral army, and rescuing them from Jianlu, etc. .These are just what they have experienced firsthand, and they have also heard that the emperor attaches great importance to people's livelihood, making disaster relief the top priority of the Ming Dynasty's national policy, and even personally participated in the culling of locust plagues in Shaanxi and so on.

Such a good emperor, they met, of course they don't want anything to happen, and even sincerely wish such a good emperor, long live long live long live!
Today, such an emperor is in danger, facing several times the strength of Jianlu troops.They had the deepest experience of Jianlu's ferocity, and the emperor must be in a hard fight.Moreover, the emperor fell into such a danger in order to save the people in the Liaohe Plain. As long as he is still a human being, how could he be indifferent to this?
The call for battle was very enthusiastic. Not only did the soldiers appeal to their superiors, but also to the governor, and even the people of Jinzhou City also asked to join the battle.As for the looted people who were rescued, let alone.

Hong Chengchou felt the great public opinion and military spirit. At this moment, he was also shocked.

He can be said to be well-read, but even so, throughout the past dynasties, he has never seen such a situation.

Regardless of whether it was public or private, Hong Chengchou responded immediately and organized the army to prepare for war. In the morning of tomorrow, he would personally lead the army to go out.

No matter what, the army's departure does not mean that it can leave immediately. It is already afternoon, and it will be very fast to start again tomorrow morning.Generally speaking, this is still too hasty.

For this reason, Hong Chengchou was a little surprised, because he was afraid that because the expedition was too hasty, it would end up adding to the chaos.Therefore, he personally inspected and supervised the preparations before the battle.

However, what surprised him was that the preparations for this expedition turned out to be extremely efficient, and many preparations were completed much faster than he expected.Moreover, if there is a shortage of things, the people in the city donate them one after another.For example, if there are not enough grain bags, as soon as there is news about the yamen, a pile of grain bags will be piled up at the gate of the yamen.There is not enough rope, and after a while, there will be a bunch of trouser belts at the gate of the yamen...

Jinzhou is at the forefront of the war against the captives. It can be said that the people's lives are very hard and the supplies they have are also very scarce.But even so, in order for the army to rescue the emperor as soon as possible, they took out all their belongings as long as they could. This grand occasion was truly unprecedented!

Seeing this, Hong Chengchou couldn't help feeling very emotional again, the emperor is really a benevolent emperor through the ages!With an emperor who is so supported by the people, why should the Ming Dynasty be unhappy?

Early the next morning, all the people got up early and rushed to the barracks to see him off.

Hong Chengchou also got up early, he knew that under such public opinion, if he had just neglected, no matter what the emperor was doing or not, as long as word spread, he would have no good fruit to eat.

At the gate of the barracks, facing the men, women and children on both sides of the street, and facing the enthusiastic people, Hong Chengchou clasped his fists and said: "Don't worry, folks, if Jianlu wants to deal with the emperor, he must first step on his body!"

At this moment, although he is a civil servant, he has also learned the words of a general.I have to say, the effect of this kind of words is still very good.The common people returned the gift one after another, and their favor towards Hong Chengchou also increased a lot.

At this moment, from the direction of the city gate, an officer on duty suddenly galloped over.The sound of horseshoes sounded hurriedly, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Seeing the general in such a hurry, everyone's heart suddenly "thumped", and there was a bad feeling.

Hong Chengchou also saw it, and his expression suddenly became tense.

"Report..." The officer on duty immediately reined in his horse and reported when he was approaching, "There are Jian captives fighting each other outside the city, it is very strange!"

"..." Hearing this, everyone, including Hong Chengchou, was stunned.I thought it was some kind of emergency military situation, maybe there was some bad news from the emperor, such as the situation was critical and rescue was urgently needed.Unexpectedly, it turned out that Jianren outside the city killed each other. This is something I have never heard of!
After a while, Hong Chengchou came back to his senses, and confirmed again: "You said there were Jian captives killing each other outside the city?"

"Go back to the governor, yes." The officer on duty quickly reported again, "Jianlu spied on the horse and fled, and another group of Jianlu chased after him. You can just see it from the top of the city."

Upon hearing this, Hong Chengchou immediately ordered the troops to be on standby. He waved his whip and hurried to the city to see clearly with his own eyes.

Seeing the governor leave in a hurry, the others couldn't help discussing.

This is unprecedented and unheard of.Could it be Jianlu internal strife, but this is not really the critical time of the war in Haizhou, how could there be internal strife?

After they talked a lot, they immediately divided into two views.

One is that Jianlu won the battle. In order to grab the spoils, such as grabbing the emperor's credit, they fought with each other. After all, this is a great contribution, and Jianlu cannot be jealous.

Another point of view is that Jianlu has already taken control of the situation, and the war in Haizhou is under their control, and then the slave chieftains of Jianlu began to fight among themselves.

No matter which point of view it is, it is very unfavorable to Daming.Therefore, everyone was very worried while discussing.

But Hong Chengchou didn't have time to think so much, and rushed to the top of the city in one breath. The Ming soldiers who were already at the top of the city pointed out to him outside the city: "My lord, look over there, the fighting is almost over!"

Hong Chengchou heard the reputation and looked. Sure enough, in the northeast corner of Jinzhou, a group of Jian captives were fighting around other Jian captives.There were as many as a hundred people besieged, but less than ten people were left without being besieged.

After watching for a while, Hong Chengchou suddenly asserted: "The besieged Jianlu Tanma belonged to the Jurchen tribe in Jianzhou, and those who were besieged by many people should belong to the grassland tribe."

The people around were surprised when they heard this, so he explained: "Jianlu is brave in hunting horses and powerful in foot combat; while the Mongols are good at riding and shooting, but weak in melee combat. You can see for yourself and understand."

Hearing this, everyone saw it, and it was true.

But in this way, they are even more strange.The Mongols have always regarded the Jianzhou Jurchens as masters, so why did they suddenly swing their swords at each other?No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like an internal strife among the slave chiefs?

Just thinking about it for a while, the fight over there is over.

Afterwards, a dozen or so Jianlu, carrying no weapons but carrying their heads, galloped towards the city wall. When they got close, one of them shouted loudly in a slightly out-of-tune Daming official dialect: "We've got the Jurchen's At the first level, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty has a decree, from now on we will be the real soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, and we are our own people!"

Hearing this, Hong Chengchou was very surprised. He waved his hand and asked people to go out of the city and bring them in to ask clearly what was going on?

As for the heavily armed soldiers of the Ming army, they rushed out of the city as if they were facing a big enemy. These Jian captives did not run away, but instead greeted them with their heads in their hands, doing whatever they were asked to do, very obedient and cooperative.

After checking that there were no weapons, he was escorted to the top of the city, before Hong Chengchou.

After learning that the person in front of them was the governor of the Great Ming Dynasty Ji Liao, the Jian captives quickly saluted with a very respectful attitude.

Hong Chengchou looked at the few people in front of him, they were all money rat tails, and felt a little weird.For a long time, Jianlu was used to being arrogant. When he saw Ming people, he always looked at them with his nose.But now, she is nodding and bowing, without a trace of the past.

"Tell me, what's the matter with you, how is the war over there in Haizhou?" Hong Chengchou was concerned about the problem, but he didn't look at it too much, so he asked immediately.

These few Jianlu were naturally ordered to hunt down and kill the real Jianlu, and those who wanted to become regulars. When they heard the question from the governor, they hurriedly told the story.

No accident, after hearing what happened in Haizhou, Hong Chengchou and the others were all stunned.What about the Armageddon?How many battles of 10 people happened like this?Isn't this incredible?
It is said that while Zhou Yu was talking and laughing, the masts and sculls were wiped out in ashes. Isn't it the same now that the emperor laughed at Jianlu playing monkey games, and finally Jianlu fell apart without firing a single shot?When did fighting become so easy?
Even if Wu Sangui was one of those who personally experienced this battle, he was also very surprised.

It is true that he uses it as a trump card, but the prerequisite for the effectiveness of this trump card is that the emperor must deal with it properly and at least be able to maintain a stalemate. In this way, if he does not reward him severely for a few battles, it is probably Don't believe it.But, did the emperor fight?There was no fighting at all, just shouting. The Jianlu people began to surrender and then started fighting among themselves.

Suddenly, Wu Sangui thought of a very crucial question: In this world, who else can be the opponent of the current emperor?

On Hong Chengchou's side, to be honest, reason told him that this matter was too unbelievable to believe completely; however, his experience told him that these Jian captives absolutely did not lie, that is to say, this battle was true. that's it.

At this moment, the sound of fast horses came from outside the city again. Turning his head to look, he saw a group of Ming army soldiers galloping towards him. The man in the middle, wearing a flying fish suit, was obviously a member of Jinyiwei.

It stands to reason that this person is not qualified to be welcomed out by the Ming Dynasty's border official.However, Hong Chengchou was curious, so he ran away as soon as he saw it, wanting to know the truth?
This cavalry team came to Jinzhou to pass the decree, and they wanted to send soldiers over so that they could make arrangements in advance.By the way, Hong Chengchou naturally knew the details of the battle at Haizhou-Yaozhou Station.

"Your Majesty is mighty!" After hearing this, Hong Chengchou had to sigh with emotion, "After this battle, the Jian captives linger on their last breaths, and there is not much time left to live. Liaodong will be liberated soon!"

When the news spread to the city, the entire city of Jinzhou immediately became a sensation.

What could be more inspiring than winning a battle?Yes, that is a big victory!

For ordinary soldiers and common people, they don't care how the battle is fought, they only care that Daming won, the emperor is fine, and there are no casualties among the officers and soldiers, that's enough!

The previous worry turned into excitement, and the atmosphere was very enthusiastic.This surprised the captain of Jinyiwei who came to Jinzhou under the order. The reaction of Jinzhou city was so strong!
After asking casually, he knew that the soldiers and civilians of Jinzhou were worried about the emperor's safety, and they were about to lead the army to Haizhou.

"Your Excellency Governor has a heart!" After hearing this, the captain of Jin Yiwei couldn't help but greatly increased his affection for the soldiers and civilians of Jinzhou, so he said to Hong Chengchou, "After I go back, I will definitely report the situation here to the emperor!"

This is of course the best!After hearing this, Hong Chengchou was even more happy thinking about it in his heart.

…………

Emperor Chongzhen's original plan was to return to the capital by boat along the coastline of the Bohai Sea. On the way, he landed on Juehua Island, that is, Ningyuan, and summoned Hong Chengchou to arrange things. However, after hearing about the incident in Jinzhou, he changed his mind. , the main force continued to go back as planned. He landed on the Xiaoling River and directly arrived in Jinzhou.

Hearing that Emperor Chongzhen was going to Jinzhou, Hong Chengchou led the soldiers and civilians of Jinzhou and mobilized the whole city to meet him ten miles away.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Just seeing the emperor's guard of honor from a distance, Hong Chengchou led the soldiers and civilians of Jinzhou to kneel down together, shouting to greet him, his voice full of incomparable piety.

After a long time, Emperor Chongzhen arrived in front of them, seeing them kneeling there respectfully to greet him, he was also a little moved in his heart.He could feel that their respect for him was not just because he was the Emperor of Ming Dynasty.

"Pingshen!" Emperor Chongzhen stretched out his hand to signal, and said loudly with a smile.

After the sea of ​​people in front of him stood up, Emperor Chongzhen rode on his horse and scanned, and soon found an area full of young people, but all of them were skinny, so he knew that these people should have been looted to Liaodong Guannei is young and strong.

So, he rode his horse and came to these people, and said with a heavy face: "It is the incompetence of the imperial court that made you experience the destruction of your wives, children, families, and families, and you were even taken to Liaodong by Jian captives..."

Hearing the emperor's words, these common people were sad, but they didn't even dare to say anything. They talked about the emperor's kindness, and it was too late to be grateful for saving them at such a high price.

Regarding these, Emperor Chongzhen did not feel relieved because of this, he stretched out his hand to make them all quiet, and then said seriously: "This is the fault of the imperial court, I will admit it!"

After setting the tone, he continued: "I can't undo what has passed. But for your future, I can give you some compensation. Among you, if there are relatives in the pass, you can follow me." Enter the customs together, after the local inspection is clear, there will be extra money in the grain field; if you don’t want to enter the customs again, you can stay outside the customs, and I will give you double the money in the grain field..."

In any case, this can be regarded as a kind of state compensation!What Emperor Chongzhen didn't expect was that the choice of these people surprised him a bit.

　I have to work an extra day tomorrow, so I can't add more this weekend.
