Chongzhen Chat Group

In the past few days, due to the Korean War and the suppression of bandits in Jin, Emperor Chongzhen frequently logged into the chat group.

No, as soon as he joined the chat group, he saw Lu Ruipeng chatting with him privately: "Hong Zhongcheng's army suddenly accelerated and found that the bandits had divided their forces. According to Hong Zhongcheng's judgment, there were only a few people on one of the groups, and they seemed to be deliberately revealing their traces and bluffing. We want to lure Hong Zhongcheng's troops south. Hong Zhongcheng thinks that the bandits' move seems to be to cover the main force moving towards Jinzhong, and it is likely that they are plotting something. Hong Zhongcheng suggested that the other two groups step up the encirclement and suppression."

Hong Chengchou's performance since leading the army convinced Emperor Chongzhen of his judgment, and he immediately conveyed the news to Zhang Fengyi. Then, he asked his chamberlain to find a map of the Jin region and mark the location, trying to figure out where the dirty thief was going and what he wanted to do.

The bandits he was thinking about were already approaching Dai County after galloping. When night fell, we set up camp in the mountains of Jin. Wang Jiayin issued an order from the alliance leader, strictly prohibiting the lighting of fires, and convened another meeting of bandit leaders.

This camp deep in the mountains was the only place with light. Wang Jiayin watched the leaders from all walks of life arrive, and said with a serious face: "Everyone, Leader Guo Tianlong risked his life to attract the troops of King Hong Yan to go south, and Dai County It's not far ahead of us. Whether we can break through the siege and escape to heaven depends entirely on whether we can defeat the Datong General Army Headquarters as planned in the next few days."

This topic was a bit heavy, and none of the leaders present immediately expressed their opinions, but just looked at their leader.

Wang Jiayin turned to look at a strong man and said: "Brother Yiyuan, your troops are all composed of Yansui border troops, and they are the most elite among us. When the time comes to face the Datong army, you must do your best!"

In the original history, Shen Yiyuan's troops developed westward and became so powerful that Yang He, the governor of the three sides, had to personally contact him to appease him. Later, when Shen Yikui continued to rebel under the hostage of his subordinates, he still had more than a thousand cavalry, and his strength should not be underestimated.

But in this plane, the troops of the brothers Shen Yiyuan reunited with Wang Jiayin and others, and crossed the Yellow River together into the Jin Dynasty. Along the way, he also contributed a lot to these peasant armies, showing the powerful side of his team.

At this time, he listened to Wang Jiayin's instructions to him, his face was equally serious, he slapped his chest with his hand and said loudly: "Brother, alliance leader, don't worry, we are all grasshoppers on the same rope, life and death depend on this, God dare not not try his best!"

Wang Jiayin nodded after hearing this, then turned to look at a man wearing a white hat and said: "Ma Huihui, your troops go north to meet the Datong General Military Headquarters. Make a posture of blocking, but you must allow defeat." Do not allow victory, and arrogant troops and horses will lead to the southward movement. Also, remember to report the movements of the Datong General Army Headquarters at any time, so that we can make preparations here."

As expected of him, he was also from the frontier army, and his plan was laid out in a precise and precise manner, which made many leaders admire him. When Ma Hui heard this, he also patted his chest and loudly reassured him, reassuring him.

Wang Jiayin turned around and glanced at the others, and gave a serious order: "Others, come with me to raid Dai County tomorrow. It would be best if you can capture the officials with status. If that doesn't work, just surround them on three sides and ask Dai County to send people." Set off from the north gate to call for help.”

Upon hearing this, the leaders agreed in unison. To be honest, they really have the confidence to conquer Dai County. After all, they have more than 40 battalions, excluding the old and weak, and their number is nearly 50,000. They only attacked a county town. One person can break open the gate of Dai County by urinating.

The next day, the sun rose as usual, seemingly no different than before. In the county government hall of Dai County, local parents and magistrates of Dai County are entertaining guests. What is a bit surprising is that the person sitting on the main seat is not the county magistrate himself, but a middle-aged man wearing brocade clothes.

However, the county captain who accompanied him was not surprised at all, because he knew that the county official was just a judge. The middle-aged man in royal robes on the throne was actually a Jinshi in the forty-seventh year of Wanli's reign, and had been a doctor of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Ji Xunzhong, who had reached the fifth rank. He was just dissatisfied with Wei Zhongxian and resigned and returned to his hometown.

Don't look at the fact that he has no official position at this time. He is idle at home like this. If the court wants to remember it one day, he will be reinstated in a minute, or even to a higher level. In the early years of Chongzhen, there were many such examples. Therefore, the county magistrate naturally serves as an official. Of course, another reason is that the land of Jin is not peaceful, but this man knows military affairs. There are many children of his family in the county, so he has to be consulted on daily matters.

This man was a famous figure in the late Ming Dynasty, named Sun Chuanting. Of course, he was still an ordinary official at this time.

I saw the county magistrate showed a flattering smile and asked Sun Chuanting for advice: "There are so many rogue thieves that they have entered our Jin land and made the people miserable. I wonder if the rogue thieves will come to my county?"

After hearing this, Sun Chuanting drank the cup of tea on the table in one gulp, then stood up and said: "What's the use of sitting in the county office and worrying? Once we've done our job, even if the thieves come to Dai County, we won't be able to do anything." He will definitely suffer a bloody blow, it’s just an opportunity to be rewarded for his meritorious service, isn’t it!”

After finishing speaking, he stood up and walked out. This surprised the county magistrate. We didn't have much time to talk, so why did we just leave right away? He quickly followed and said cautiously: "What Dr. Sun said makes sense. I wonder if you are..."

"Empty talk is useless!" Sun Chuanting turned to look at him and after saying that, he continued to walk out and replied at the same time, "Go and inspect the city defense and do what you need to do!"

When the county magistrate and the county captain heard this, they looked at each other and saw a hint of relief in each other's eyes. To be honest, the real talker in this county is this doctor who resigned and returned home. Ever since thieves broke out all over Jin, all the soldiers and policemen in the city were trained by him, and he was also in charge of arranging the city's defense. Now that I saw him patrolling in person, I was naturally relieved.

Sun Chuanting left the county government office and walked on the street under the protection of his servants. He saw that although the shops on both sides of the street were open, they were not popular. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. With the state of affairs like this, the prosperity is no longer there!

A while ago, the factory guards wanted to arrest members of the eight major Shanxi merchant families, including King Fan, and even ransacked the entire civil service and military system in Xuanfu Town. This made him very worried. I'm afraid the emperor will become addicted to this method of tearing apart one's face. If that happens, the future of Ming Dynasty will be worrying!

Fortunately, this large-scale house raid was stopped, which finally made him feel more worried. Unexpectedly, many border troops in Jin region dispersed in the countryside, robbed homes and homes, and seriously disrupted people's livelihood. Even many thieves from Shaanxi jumped into Jin together, making things worse.

Although Sun Chuanting was not afraid of the bandits coming, he still understood that after the war, the people were afraid that they would suffer even more! When will the Ming Dynasty be able to achieve peace and prosperity for the country and the people?
