Ming Taizi's Total War

Chapter 146
After the executioner heard the voices of the onlookers, he didn't dare to make his own claims, so he looked at Shen Liangru, the procurator of Henan Province who presided over the execution.

Seeing the gazes of the executioners, Shen Liangru thought to himself, what are they looking for me for, today I am just a pawn, and the one who has the final say is sitting on it.

However, due to the voice of the people, Shen Liangru had no choice but to find Zhu Cihong and ask for his instructions.

"allow!"

To be honest, Zhu Cixi didn't expect that the people's hatred for these people was so deep. He used to think that these people were insensitive and would accept no matter who became the emperor.

Now Zhu Cilang understands why such a crappy court at the end of the Ming Dynasty could survive for decades, and even after the Nanming perished, there were resistance forces like Longwu Daming, Yongli Daming, Lu Jianguo, and Zheng Chenggong.

"Throw it down." Shen Liangru ran back to the execution platform and ordered the executioner to throw down the meat pieces of Han Guang and others.

When many people saw the executioner throwing the meat down, they jumped up and competed for it. Those who got it all regarded it as a treasure in their arms, and prepared to cook it when they got home.

And the impatient person even just put the meat in his hand, without even caring about the blood, he put it into his mouth and began to bite.

Maybe some people think they are barbaric, but in feudal society, there are no barbaric people, only more barbaric animals.

Europeans at the same time had bloodletting therapy and carried out massacres all over the world. Like the Wuhu people thousands of years ago, the Han people were regarded as two-legged sheep.

Treating the slaves he plundered from the Han with the Shang Dynasty's attitude towards human animals and slaves, the Ming people in front of Zhu Cihong just took this opportunity to vent their long-standing resentment.

"Haha, I didn't expect that I would have the opportunity to eat the flesh and blood of traitors in my lifetime." A gray-haired old man in his fifties said with a smile while holding a piece of Han Guang's flesh and blood.

"What are you doing, eating the flesh and blood of the Tartars today is called relief. Today I also made Yue Wumu once." Said a big man beside the old man.

He had heard too many stories about Yue, and he unconsciously put himself into the person of Yue Wumu, who had great ambitions and was hungry for Huns' meat, and laughed and talked about thirsting for Huns' blood.

If he was given another two taels of wine, maybe he would raise his sword and jump his horse to follow Zhu Cihong in the north and south, even if he didn't have a sword or a horse, let alone know how to use it.

"The people's support is really useful." Zhu Cixiang was very moved when he looked at the excited people below. He felt that the previous emperor had really failed these people.

Liu Bao, who was on the side, heard Zhu Cihong's exclamation, and knew that this was a good opportunity to flatter him, so he hurriedly whispered into Zhu Cihong's ear, "The Holy Son of Heaven is in court, ruling the world, sweeping away the bandits, and the people are naturally cheering."

"Based on my slave's humble opinion, the common people support you Long Live from the bottom of their hearts. With the admiration of all the people, I am afraid that Li Chuang will be killed in a few days, and returned to the old capital. Glory to our Daming River and Mountains."

Liu Bao may not have any real skills, but he speaks nice words, flatters, and tries to figure out Zhu Cihong's thoughts. In this regard, he said that no one dares to be the number one when he says that he is the second.

"That's natural." Zhu Cihong said with a smile on his face.

Just kidding, he is a time traveler and has a system. Although he is not that powerful, he believes that with his IQ and his familiarity with history, it is not easy to defeat Li Chuang and Mite Qing.

The only difficult thing is how to revive the Ming Dynasty and extend the life of this aging dynasty for another 300 years.

Zhu Cihong doesn't live forever, but he just thinks that if he can't continue to modern times and develop China well, maybe China will be the same in the future, and he has come here in vain.

Just when Zhu Cihong was worried about the possibility of Daming's revival, a letter from a school captain suddenly came from the city of Kaifeng.

"what happened?"

"It's a letter from General Dingyuan and Shi Ge's Department." Liu Bao handed the letter from the school lieutenant to Zhu Cihong.

"Let me take a look." Zhu Cixiang took the letter and immediately opened it and read it.

"Hmph, Shi Kefa is really too weak. How can a person like him manage the army leaders well, how can he supervise the division?"

"Your Majesty, what's the matter?" Liu Bao couldn't understand why Zhu Cihong was so furious. After all, he was just a eunuch, and his understanding of military and state affairs was not much better than that of peasants. Naturally, he didn't understand that Zhu Cihong was full of anger.

"Shi Kefa felt that the casualties in the siege were too heavy, and wanted me to order the siege to stop and let the army temporarily rest for ten days and half a month."

"Look, does this still look like a supervisor? How can he stop fighting because he is worried about the casualties of the soldiers? If he is like him, then he might as well make peace with Li Chuang and Chi Qing." Zhu Cihong said about Shi Kefa's performance Very dissatisfied.

In fact, he should have been mentally prepared for this earlier. Although Shi Kefa is a national hero who sacrificed his life for the country, his strategic vision is really unflattering.

Historically, after welcoming King Fu and Shi Kefa to supervise Yangzhou, Gao Jie wanted to enter the Central Plains for the Northern Expedition. This was originally a good thing. Shi Kefa, as the superintendent of Yangzhou, should strongly support it and coordinate the other three towns to act together.

In the end, Shi Kefa, like some ministers in the DPRK, always dreamed of uniting with the captives and fighting against the bandits, hoping that Mite Qing could help them fight Li Chuang, and then everyone would live their own lives.

This idea is comparable to what Wan Yangou, Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty, did, and when the Qing army went to the south of the Yangtze River, Shi Kefa really defended Yangzhou, not even taking a step out of the city, shrinking his head and letting the Qing army attack.

Of course, this does not mean that Shi Kefa is not good at picking generals among short men. Shi Kefa is already a very powerful talent in Nanming. He can sacrifice his life for the country alone.

"Yes, long live you said you must capture Kaifeng, but now the Shi Ge Department wants to stop the siege. It really shouldn't be the case."

Liu Bao didn't know what was going on, so he could only say a few casual words that didn't hurt or itch.

In fact, he didn't know why Zhu Cihong opened the seal, nor why Shi Kefa didn't want to fight. He wouldn't care about these issues, because it had nothing to do with him, and it shouldn't have anything to do with him.

Thousands of years of Chinese politics since ancient times have shown that it is not terrible for eunuchs to exercise power, nor is it terrible for eunuchs to collude with ministers, nor is it terrible for eunuchs to sit on the head of the little emperor and act as a godfather or adoptive father.

The most terrifying thing is that eunuchs are connected with the army and even control part of the army. That is the most terrifying opponent of imperial power.

In the Qin Dynasty, there was a rebellion by Lai Ai, and in the Tang Dynasty, there was Tian Lingzi who controlled the central army like this and abolished the emperor's eunuch who relied on his own joy and anger.

Although the Ming Dynasty allowed the eunuchs to directly take charge of the army, and even organized the eunuchs into an army, it was a small number of departments such as the Royal Horse Supervisor, and they were under strict surveillance and control.

But no matter what, he, Liu Bao, as the eunuch of Bingbi, obviously shouldn't have anything to do with the army anyway.
